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 sponsor, 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.
