Today’s Audio MASTERCLASS: Game-Time Decision Making with David Meltzer

[01:08] –David shares something interesting about himself that most people don’t know.

He asked a friend to help him go steady with his wife way back at 6^th Grade camp! He was unsuccessful then, but he tried again and he was able to succeed a few years after.
“It’s not how you start the race, it is how you finish it.”

[02:49] – Are we making decisions based on the wrong assumptions?

Poor assumptions can be deadly.
Be more interested than interesting; ask for mentorship and help.
Derive decisions from good assumptions. Decisions that are based on data and not assumption will result in great success.

[06:09]- What is the best way to handle input and advice from others?

Just because advice comes from people who love and care for you doesn’t mean it’s good.
Take advice from experienced and knowledgeable people.

[10:26] – How can we recover from inevitable mistakes and get back to our center?

Mistakes happen; it’s a miracle when you learn from those mistakes.

[12:55] – How can we focus on the present?

Pay attention to time – Time is essential.
- Manmade construct – Productivity and accessibility.
- Construct of Infinity – Human beings cannot grasp how infinite time is.
Mindset shift – activities we get paid for versus the activities we don’t get paid for.

[17:07] – A timeout to thank our sponsors, TransUnion ShareAble for Hires and ClickFunnels!

[17:10] – How can we expand our learning zone and shrink our anxiety zone?

Visualize 3 concentric circles:
- Inner circle – comfort zone; nothing expands.
- 2^nd layer – learning zone – acceleration and exponential growth.
- 3^rd layer – anxiety zone – full of ego-based emotions.
Identify where your ego is.

[19:56] – Is it possible to chase our goals without actually being emotionally attached to the outcomes?

Never attach happiness to the outcome – instead attach happiness and emotions to the pursuit of it. This will help you create more inspiration.

[22:21] – Why do people get “stuck”, and how can we breakthrough that process?

Focus on maximizing the acceleration and exponential growth.
Focus on how you’ll get there instead of whether you are there or not.

[25:58] – How do we create consistent habits through time management?

Lower the bar and use your calendar. Be the student of your calendar. Pay attention to what you do and put a minimum on some things.

[29:31] – David’s parting piece of guidance

Be kind to your future self and provide value.
Ask for help from others. You will be able to give more if you have more.
