13227: I Feel Seen And Heard…By James Clear

Raw transcript:

just got finished doing an on camera
audition perhaps it was in the medical
field the role I don’t know I can’t say
for sure but um I went and checked my uh
my email as I want to do and I just want
you to know I feel
seen I just I feel seen I feel heard and
I’ll tell you why in this episode of the
vo Heroes podcast
so I you know silenced everything put
everything on do not disturb did my
audition and it took a bit of time and
as I do when I’m done I clean everything
up on my desktop uh get the audition set
off and then I checked my email and
today happened to be a day that I was
reading a brand new uh episode edition
of James clear’s
Weekly Newsletter now James Clear wrote
the book Atomic habits which I’ve talked
about here a number of times um great
book especially if you’re trying to get
some structure in your life and create
really powerful habits that can help you
move forward there are some people who
are not ready to hear this information
there are some people who are hungry for
this information and in addition to the
book you know he’s got a whole set of
things that you can take advantage of
he’s got a master class on master
class.com on habit building and he has
this Weekly Newsletter that gives you uh
three things that he’s come up with that
he wants to share with you two things
that other people have
said and uh one thing to explore so it’s
uh it’s very similar to uh Mark Manson’s
newsletter it’s similar to a lot of
newsletters in terms of very quick very
easily digestible structure and so I’m
I’m looking at this week’s uh uh
newsletter Edition and in the first
three items the three things that he
shares he gives you the first two and
then number three it’s the process
decide what you want to achieve that’s
the first item two try different ways of
achieving it until you find one that
works for you and then look at number
three do more of what works and less of
what doesn’t do more of what works do
less of what doesn’t then number four is
don’t stop doing it until it sto working
number five repeat
it is both this simple and this hard I
got kind of stuck for those of you that
have been with me for a while on number
three do more of what works do less of
what doesn’t that is a the definition my
definition of success how to achieve
success I I couple that with something
that I don’t want you to forget but I
certainly thank James clear for seeing
what I see I just as I said in the intro
I feel seen I feel heard remember one of
the tricks is knowing what works and
what doesn’t work and not assuming that
something that you think should work
does work or something that you think
shouldn’t work doesn’t work you know
that’s kind of my superpower is I help
people figure out what works for them
what works within the system that
they’re trying to uh make progress in
and then what doesn’t work and what they
might need to let go of or revise or
whatever but man what a great way to I I
I just I just maybe I just needed to um
feel something about that because I’ve
been seeing it for God decades this
whole notion of do more of what works
and less of what doesn’t and you can’t
help but succeed and to have somebody
like James Clear who I I just really
respect and really uh enjoy his you know
infectious nature in terms of habit
building um to have him say the exact
words that I’ve been saying for a long
time time and it fits within his process
which is kind of cool so my question for
