# Podcast Episode Summary:
In this podcast episode, the hosts, Damien and Jake, delve into the final aspect of achieving lasting change: sustain. They emphasize the importance of surrounding oneself with positive individuals who inspire and support personal growth. Listeners are encouraged to evaluate their social circles and identify people who drain or ignite their energy.
The concept of a coach or mentor is also discussed. Ben Ainslie, a British sailor, shares an anecdote about his father's role as a coach, highlighting the significance of receiving constructive feedback to excel in any endeavor.
The hosts emphasize the need for resilience and the ability to learn from failures and challenges. George Russell, a Formula One driver, recounts an experience where he chose to push himself to the limit in a race, even though he knew he wouldn't win, to gain valuable experience.
Damien and Jake conclude the episode by stressing the importance of taking responsibility for one's life and making hard decisions. They remind listeners that there are no neutral moments and that every decision can be categorized as either hard or easy. The hosts encourage listeners to embrace hard decisions as a means of achieving sustainable high performance.
Overall, the episode provides practical advice and insights on how to sustain positive changes and achieve lasting personal growth.
[00:00.000 -> 00:05.200] As a person with a very deep voice, I'm hired all the time for advertising campaigns.
[00:05.200 -> 00:10.880] But a deep voice doesn't sell B2B, and advertising on the wrong platform doesn't sell B2B either.
[00:10.880 -> 00:14.720] That's why if you're a B2B marketer, you should use LinkedIn ads.
[00:14.720 -> 00:19.920] LinkedIn has the targeting capabilities to help you reach the world's largest professional audience.
[00:19.920 -> 00:24.080] That's right, over 70 million decision makers all in one place.
[00:24.080 -> 00:26.840] All the bigwigs and mediumwigs.
[00:26.840 -> 00:29.520] Also smallwigs who are on the path to becoming bigwigs.
[00:29.520 -> 00:31.760] Okay, that's enough about wigs.
[00:31.760 -> 00:36.200] LinkedIn ads allows you to focus on getting your B2B message to the right people.
[00:36.200 -> 00:41.360] So does that mean you should use ads on LinkedIn instead of hiring me, the man with the deepest
[00:41.360 -> 00:42.840] voice in the world?
[00:42.840 -> 00:44.960] Yes, yes it does.
[00:44.960 -> 00:47.000] Get started today and see why LinkedIn
[00:47.000 -> 00:49.440] is the place to be, to be.
[00:49.440 -> 00:52.720] We'll even give you a $100 credit on your next campaign.
[00:52.720 -> 00:55.880] Go to linkedin.com slash results to claim your credit.
[00:55.880 -> 00:58.180] That's linkedin.com slash results.
[00:58.180 -> 00:59.560] Terms and conditions apply.
[01:02.560 -> 01:04.720] On our podcast, we love to highlight businesses
[01:04.720 -> 01:06.540] that are doing things a better way so you
[01:06.540 -> 01:11.600] can live a better life and that's why when I found Mint Mobile I had to share.
[01:11.600 -> 01:16.280] So Mint Mobile ditched retail stores and all those overhead costs and instead sells their
[01:16.280 -> 01:19.680] phone plans online and passes those savings to you.
[01:19.680 -> 01:23.880] And for a limited time they're passing on even more savings with a new customer offer
[01:23.880 -> 01:29.880] that cuts all Mint Mobile plans to $15 a month when you purchase a 3 month plan.
[01:29.880 -> 01:36.280] That's unlimited talk, text and data for $15 a month.
[01:36.280 -> 01:41.120] And by the way, the quality of Mint Mobile's wireless service in comparison to providers
[01:41.120 -> 01:44.040] that we've worked with before is incredible.
[01:44.040 -> 01:46.320] Mint Mobile is here to rescue you
[01:46.320 -> 01:49.200] with premium wireless plans for 15 bucks a month.
[01:49.200 -> 01:51.960] So say goodbye to your overpriced wireless plans,
[01:51.960 -> 01:53.680] those jaw-dropping monthly bills,
[01:53.680 -> 01:55.600] those unexpected overages,
[01:55.600 -> 01:58.120] because all the plans come with unlimited talk and text
[01:58.120 -> 01:59.520] and high-speed data
[01:59.520 -> 02:02.680] delivered on the nation's largest 5G network.
[02:02.680 -> 02:05.720] Use your own phone with any Mint Mobile plan, bring your
[02:05.720 -> 02:08.820] phone number along with all your existing contacts.
[02:08.820 -> 02:13.440] So ditch overpriced wireless with Mint Mobile's limited time deal and get premium wireless
[02:13.440 -> 02:19.400] service for just $15 a month. To get this new customer offer and your new 3 month unlimited
[02:19.400 -> 02:28.680] wireless plan for just $15 a month, go to mintmobile.com.hpp. That's mintmobile.com slash HPP that's mintmobile.com slash HPP. Cut
[02:28.680 -> 02:35.120] your wireless bill to 15 bucks a month at mintmobile.com slash HPP. Additional taxes,
[02:35.120 -> 02:40.640] fees and restrictions apply. See Mint Mobile for details. Welcome along to the final episode from
[02:40.640 -> 02:45.900] our month of change here on High Performance. So we want 2023 to be a year of change for you.
[02:45.900 -> 02:48.640] And we think the best way to do it is for us to draw
[02:48.640 -> 02:50.600] on the database of incredible guests
[02:50.600 -> 02:51.900] who've joined us on High Performance
[02:51.900 -> 02:55.080] over the past few years and take their lessons
[02:55.080 -> 02:58.340] for you to drive change in 2023.
[02:58.340 -> 03:00.340] On week one, we spoke about goals,
[03:00.340 -> 03:03.300] setting them and holding yourself accountable to them.
[03:03.300 -> 03:09.240] Week two, we discussed motivation, where it comes from and how you can drive that yourself. Week three
[03:09.240 -> 03:13.600] we discussed the power of consistency and making sure that how you do
[03:13.600 -> 03:19.560] anything is how you do everything. This week it's all about how you sustain this
[03:19.560 -> 03:25.280] new you for 2023 and I think in many ways you could argue that the lessons have
[03:25.280 -> 03:29.040] been really important for the first three weeks but the message this week is
[03:29.040 -> 03:33.920] probably the most important one. Yeah absolutely there's a real myth around in
[03:33.920 -> 03:38.040] the self-development world that people believe that you've got to stick at a
[03:38.040 -> 03:41.640] task for 30 days before you can change your habit and the reality is that's
[03:41.640 -> 03:47.400] precisely that it's a myth it'll be different for everybody depending on where we are and what we're doing at
[03:47.400 -> 03:51.400] that moment in time. There's some brilliant research done in London just a
[03:51.400 -> 03:56.080] few years ago that said that some people might change a habit in seven days, some
[03:56.080 -> 04:01.800] it might take them another seven months to do that. So understanding the power of
[04:01.800 -> 04:06.240] sustainability is such an important aspect of your change
[04:06.240 -> 04:07.240] toolkit.
[04:07.240 -> 04:10.740] So, let's talk about sustaining things then.
[04:10.740 -> 04:13.440] Can you do any of this on your own?
[04:13.440 -> 04:17.520] We believe that you can, but we also believe that life is a team sport and you are far
[04:17.520 -> 04:21.160] more likely to be successful if you have people around you.
[04:21.160 -> 04:24.120] The question is, how do you work out who should be around you?
[04:24.120 -> 04:27.600] There's no point just surrounding yourself with people to reach these goals if they're
[04:27.600 -> 04:31.280] not the kind of people that are going to help you get there. I talk about fountains and
[04:31.280 -> 04:35.600] drains. We've spoken many times on this podcast about having the difficult conversation and
[04:35.600 -> 04:40.240] making the difficult decision about people to remove from your lives. We were joined
[04:40.240 -> 04:48.200] by a former reality star who has reinvented herself as an author and a television presenter and she delivered the most incredible episode of high
[04:48.200 -> 04:52.400] performance for us. I'm talking about Vicky Patterson and she shared with us
[04:52.400 -> 04:58.320] some great advice around how she picks and chooses the people around her.
[04:58.320 -> 05:02.500] Right, so there's three types of people in life and you can work out who they are by how
[05:02.500 -> 05:08.520] you feel when they ring your phone and So you have people who when you see their name like flash up on your
[05:08.520 -> 05:14.600] display screen you think, oh for fuck's sake. You know, like and you know, as I've said this to you
[05:14.600 -> 05:18.800] everybody listening to this will know that person instantly and it's the person
[05:18.800 -> 05:22.240] who you know they're ringing you probably because they want something or
[05:22.240 -> 05:27.240] because they want to have a whinge or because like they need a favour, they need you to get you into this nightclub or they
[05:27.240 -> 05:30.520] want you to look after their kids. They just want something from you and you
[05:30.520 -> 05:33.920] never feel like it's a two-way street. Like you don't mind picking up your pals
[05:33.920 -> 05:37.080] who are always there for you but this isn't that person and they are called
[05:37.080 -> 05:41.940] the draggers. They are, like if you said to them, oh I'm thinking about starting a
[05:41.940 -> 05:48.400] new diet, I'm gonna try and be really healthy 2022, they'd be like, what going to do that for? You'll only end up ruining it. You'll only end up
[05:48.400 -> 05:52.480] eating loads of cake. And I think, right, okay, you are a negative influence on me. They are the
[05:52.480 -> 05:57.360] draggers. We don't want those in my life really. Okay. Next, you've got like the middle of the
[05:57.360 -> 06:03.040] roaders. So when they ring, you sort of think, should I answer, should I not? Okay, I'll give
[06:03.040 -> 06:08.080] them, you know, I'll pick up. They don't set your world on fire they're perfectly nice like if you said
[06:08.080 -> 06:10.700] to them oh I'm gonna try and eat more healthily they'd be like good for you
[06:10.700 -> 06:14.880] good for you you can do that but they're perfectly pleasant we shouldn't like we
[06:14.880 -> 06:18.560] shouldn't be dismissive of them the hearts are in the right place and then
[06:18.560 -> 06:24.560] you have the igniters this is who we should all strive to be the kind of
[06:24.560 -> 06:26.000] person that when you see their name
[06:26.000 -> 06:31.600] pop up on your screen, you can't wait to answer. You grin from ear to ear, your whole body fizzes
[06:31.600 -> 06:36.400] with excitement because you know they're ringing with something. Let's go on holiday, well done
[06:36.400 -> 06:42.320] for this. I'll eat healthy with you as well. They inspire you, they lift you up, they make you buzz
[06:42.320 -> 06:45.280] like an old fridge. you're just fucking thrilled that
[06:45.280 -> 06:50.120] they're in your life. And I feel like those are the people who you should have around
[06:50.120 -> 06:53.000] you as much as you can.
[06:53.000 -> 06:56.960] Now this is really good Damien because I don't think this is something that people do often
[06:56.960 -> 07:00.880] enough. I think that we almost slip into a trap of thinking well, this is my group of
[07:00.880 -> 07:04.280] friends, this is my group of colleagues, these are the people in my life, I have to just
[07:04.280 -> 07:05.200] get on with it.
[07:05.200 -> 07:06.800] The truth actually is different.
[07:06.800 -> 07:10.000] Yeah, I think the more we can surround ourselves with people that,
[07:10.000 -> 07:12.600] like Ricky said, make us buzz like an old fridge,
[07:12.600 -> 07:14.800] it's really important. These are our cheerleaders,
[07:14.800 -> 07:16.600] the people that have got our back,
[07:16.600 -> 07:19.600] the ones that give us the feedback that we need to hear,
[07:19.600 -> 07:21.600] not that we think that we want to hear.
[07:21.600 -> 07:29.720] And I think the more we can recruit and retain and value those people around us the more powerful we are to be able to go
[07:29.720 -> 07:33.160] after our high-performance goals. And I think sometimes it's a challenge for
[07:33.160 -> 07:36.920] people to think well I've got friends I've known for a long time or I've got
[07:36.920 -> 07:39.960] family members or I've got people I work with I can't just cut them out my life
[07:39.960 -> 07:45.080] because that's not possible. What you need to do is realize how those people
[07:45.080 -> 07:48.800] make you feel. You need as much as possible to limit the amount of
[07:48.800 -> 07:51.680] interaction you have with them. But I think one of the really important
[07:51.680 -> 07:55.360] lessons for, as Damien said, surrounding yourself with the right kind of people
[07:55.360 -> 08:00.080] is to be an optimist, is to be positive, is to see the value in every opportunity,
[08:00.080 -> 08:03.840] is to be empathetic towards people rather than led by opinion.
[08:03.840 -> 08:08.000] Yeah, I think we often talk about peer pressure but I think peer perception,
[08:08.000 -> 08:12.500] the way that we view the people around us, is actually a really powerful way of doing that.
[08:12.500 -> 08:17.500] But what I'd add to that though Jake is that once you start recruiting people like that into your life,
[08:17.500 -> 08:23.500] another really powerful concept to maybe consider as you go after your high performance goals
[08:23.500 -> 08:25.280] is the role of a coach. y gallwch chi ymdrechu, wrth i chi ddod o hyd i eich gynlluniau cyffredinol, yw rôl y gyfraith.
[08:25.280 -> 08:28.960] Nawr, rydyn ni'n mynd i'r gwirio i clip o'r briliant Sir Ben Ainslie,
[08:28.960 -> 08:32.400] y sailor Britis yn llwyr o gwbl.
[08:32.400 -> 08:34.880] Ac felly, nid yw'n rhaid i gyfraith fod yn rhywun
[08:34.880 -> 08:36.480] rydych chi'n gweithio'n gynhyrchol,
[08:36.480 -> 08:38.800] gallai fod rhywun yn y cyfran o'ch gilydd,
[08:38.800 -> 08:42.560] fel bod Ben yn rhoi ato i ni ymdrech o'i fath,
[08:42.560 -> 08:45.200] sydd ddim yn barod i ddweud am ymdrechion, ond i'w hymdrechu yr hyn sydd gwybod ei fod yn gallu ei wneud. us here the importance of his father who wasn't just prepared to accept excuses
[08:45.200 -> 08:49.400] but to challenge what he knew he was capable of. Let's listen to this clip
[08:49.400 -> 08:53.560] because I think this is a really great example of how having somebody that's
[08:53.560 -> 08:57.400] prepared to be a role of a coach can really make a difference to you.
[08:57.400 -> 09:03.680] I mean it's one great anecdote I often go back to where I was doing a practice
[09:03.680 -> 09:06.040] race at the club and I didn't do very well.
[09:06.040 -> 09:08.240] I was a bit unlucky and I sort of half gave up.
[09:08.240 -> 09:10.600] And anyway, I got back home at the end of the day
[09:10.600 -> 09:13.160] and my dad, sort of as he was apt to do,
[09:13.160 -> 09:14.480] asked me how the race went.
[09:14.480 -> 09:17.800] And I sort of said, oh, you know, I was doing really well
[09:17.800 -> 09:19.680] but then I was unlucky and this and that happened
[09:19.680 -> 09:20.840] and it was just really unlucky.
[09:20.840 -> 09:23.040] And I didn't, you know, I think it was third or fourth
[09:23.040 -> 09:24.200] or something.
[09:24.200 -> 09:26.000] And he paused for a moment and he said, well, that's really interesting because I didn't, you know, I think it was third or fourth or something. And he paused for a moment.
[09:26.000 -> 09:27.280] He said, well, that's really interesting
[09:27.280 -> 09:29.880] because I actually happened to watch the race
[09:29.880 -> 09:32.240] and I saw that you gave up.
[09:32.240 -> 09:34.040] So I was a bit stumped.
[09:34.040 -> 09:37.760] And he said, look, if you want to really excel in sport
[09:37.760 -> 09:39.440] and do really, really well, which I think you want to do
[09:39.440 -> 09:41.800] and I'm happy to support you to do that.
[09:41.800 -> 09:43.320] But if you're going to really make it,
[09:43.320 -> 09:44.400] you've got to give it 100%.
[09:44.400 -> 09:45.080] And was he right?
[09:45.080 -> 09:47.080] Absolutely. You can't give up. You cannot.
[09:47.080 -> 09:48.080] And you have given up.
[09:48.080 -> 09:52.400] Yeah. At any point, you cannot give up because as soon as you do that, you're never going
[09:52.400 -> 09:53.400] to get back.
[09:53.400 -> 10:00.000] Now, I love that clip, right? But what you will find if you're listening to this is that
[10:00.000 -> 10:04.560] people will only give you feedback like that if you allow them to. It's very easy to put
[10:04.560 -> 10:05.840] across an air of, don't talk to me like that. Don't give me feedback like that if you allow them to. It's very easy to put across an air of,
[10:05.840 -> 10:08.800] don't talk to me like that, don't give me feedback in that way.
[10:08.800 -> 10:13.040] And we have to find a way of accepting feedback without being negatively
[10:13.040 -> 10:16.720] affected by it, for kind of accepting it for what it is, you know?
[10:16.720 -> 10:20.560] It was Adam Grant that we listened to last year that had that great line that
[10:20.560 -> 10:23.440] he said, give yourself an A plus for when the
[10:23.440 -> 10:28.800] moment you receive a C minus. and it's always the idea of be brilliant at receiving feedback even
[10:28.800 -> 10:33.140] when the message isn't necessarily what you want to hear and I think that then
[10:33.140 -> 10:37.960] encourages coaches or mentors or people within your life that can help and
[10:37.960 -> 10:42.200] advise you to want to give that feedback freely and know that it's going to be
[10:42.200 -> 10:45.400] received in the right manner. So that we've
[10:44.020 -> 10:46.840] spoken about deciding the right people
[10:45.400 -> 10:49.000] around you with the help of Vicki
[10:46.840 -> 10:51.120] Patterson, we've discussed how you can
[10:49.000 -> 10:52.760] accept negative feedback and how you can
[10:51.120 -> 10:54.360] open yourself up to that thanks to Ben
[10:52.760 -> 10:57.280] Ainslie but you know what sometimes the
[10:54.360 -> 10:59.040] truth is that sustaining this stuff has
[10:57.280 -> 11:00.800] to come from within. You have to set your
[10:59.040 -> 11:02.320] own goals, you have to set your own
[11:00.800 -> 11:04.920] parameters, you have to challenge yourself
[11:02.320 -> 11:07.320] constantly and most importantly of all
[11:04.920 -> 11:06.020] you need to be yourself constantly and most
[11:04.120 -> 11:07.920] importantly of all you need to be
[11:06.020 -> 11:10.040] resilient. You know Damien and I worry
[11:07.920 -> 11:12.280] that we're not creating a nation of
[11:10.040 -> 11:13.860] resilient young people. Parents
[11:12.280 -> 11:15.280] helicopter and hover around their
[11:13.860 -> 11:16.680] children too much, solving all the
[11:15.280 -> 11:18.400] problems in front of them, they don't
[11:16.680 -> 11:19.720] allow them to fail which means that when
[11:18.400 -> 11:21.960] they finally get out into the big wide
[11:19.720 -> 11:23.840] world they don't have the vitamins and
[11:21.960 -> 11:26.400] minerals to deal with disappointment and
[11:23.840 -> 11:27.860] rejection. We were joined by George Russell, the Formula One driver for
[11:27.860 -> 11:34.440] Mercedes, who absolutely had the ability to turn a failure into a success, to turn
[11:34.440 -> 11:38.960] a negative into a positive, to turn a challenge into something that he
[11:38.960 -> 11:45.600] relished. Here he is talking to us about battling for an insignificant place in a Formula One race.
[11:45.600 -> 11:51.880] There was this one race in Monaco, I was driving around, I was ahead of Robert by
[11:51.880 -> 11:57.880] quite a margin, I was behind the next gaggle of cars and I kind of
[11:57.880 -> 12:00.560] thought to myself I'm just gonna bring the car home because what's the point in
[12:00.560 -> 12:03.960] risking it? You know I've kind of achieved all I can in this race, I can't
[12:03.960 -> 12:08.480] beat the cars ahead, I've already beaten the car behind. And there was a moment in that race
[12:08.480 -> 12:13.520] that I thought this will teach me nothing. If I just drive around for the next hour and a half,
[12:14.320 -> 12:18.560] just bring in the car home, this isn't going to help me in one year time, two years time,
[12:18.560 -> 12:23.120] three years time. If ever I'm racing for a Mercedes, if ever I'm racing for a race win
[12:23.120 -> 12:25.840] or world championships. So I just sort of
[12:25.840 -> 12:31.600] turned up and just went absolutely flat out every single lap around Monaco, kind of risking
[12:31.600 -> 12:37.360] everything for 19th position on the grid because I felt like that's what I needed to do
[12:38.160 -> 12:41.840] if I wanted to learn and progress. And from that moment on for the rest of the season,
[12:42.400 -> 12:48.040] that sort of every single race, every single qualifying, every single session was this opportunity for me to build
[12:48.040 -> 12:52.800] a greater toolbox of experience for me to tap into
[12:52.800 -> 12:54.620] whenever I needed it in the future.
[12:54.620 -> 12:56.720] Now, I think the important thing about that, Damien,
[12:56.720 -> 12:58.520] is that obviously he'd come through the ranks
[12:58.520 -> 13:00.880] with other young drivers, Landon Norris, Alex Albon,
[13:00.880 -> 13:03.940] who at the time were battling for points and for podiums.
[13:03.940 -> 13:09.720] And it's about reframing our minds so that whatever happens to us in 2023 and there will be
[13:09.720 -> 13:13.640] moments along the way where everything feels like a failure it's retraining
[13:13.640 -> 13:17.320] ourselves to realize that even in those moments there's a huge amount of
[13:17.320 -> 13:22.520] learning that can be taken away and you can still use those moments to drive you
[13:22.520 -> 13:26.240] towards the change that you want. Brilliant
[13:24.680 -> 13:28.240] yeah it's almost like you're in a
[13:26.240 -> 13:31.160] crucible at any one moment you can either
[13:28.240 -> 13:33.920] say do I win or learn so you don't view
[13:31.160 -> 13:35.920] anything as a as a loss you simply see
[13:33.920 -> 13:37.760] it as an opportunity to learn something
[13:35.920 -> 13:40.400] about it and like you say with George's
[13:37.760 -> 13:42.880] really powerful example there he wasn't
[13:40.400 -> 13:45.280] going to win anything so he chose to use
[13:42.880 -> 13:47.400] that moment as an opportunity to learn something about himself instead.
[13:47.400 -> 13:49.040] And I think for anyone listening to this,
[13:49.040 -> 13:51.560] that's looking at how do you go after
[13:51.560 -> 13:54.640] your own version of high performance in this year,
[13:54.640 -> 13:56.400] there is no neutral moment.
[13:56.400 -> 13:59.800] In any moment, you can either win or learn from it.
[13:59.800 -> 14:02.320] And the key is how you react to it.
[14:02.320 -> 14:04.680] And I think to wrap up this episode of high performance,
[14:04.680 -> 14:08.960] Damien and I are just gonna leave you with one thought that we would give you for really
[14:08.960 -> 14:12.920] making sure that this is the year of change. This is the year that you want. And by the
[14:12.920 -> 14:15.320] way, if you're listening to these episodes and you're thinking, well, I don't really
[14:15.320 -> 14:19.960] want to change. I feel like I'm on the right path. I think everything's great. That's fantastic.
[14:19.960 -> 14:24.360] But this is still useful for you because you won't feel like that forever. Okay. Everything
[14:24.360 -> 14:25.560] passes. Nothing is permanent. Everything is temporary. So you because you won't feel like that forever, okay? Everything passes.
[14:25.560 -> 14:26.560] Nothing is permanent.
[14:26.560 -> 14:27.560] Everything is temporary.
[14:27.560 -> 14:31.200] So even if you're feeling great right now, that might not be the case in two, three,
[14:31.200 -> 14:32.480] or four months' time.
[14:32.480 -> 14:36.780] So that's when you might rely on the things that you've learned in these episodes.
[14:36.780 -> 14:38.000] So what would we leave you with?
[14:38.000 -> 14:41.640] Well, I would leave you with one of my fundamental learnings so far from the High Performance
[14:41.640 -> 14:50.980] Podcast, which is fault versus responsibility. What we're really asking you to do in these episodes about change is to take responsibility,
[14:50.980 -> 14:55.580] not just when things aren't your fault, but especially when things aren't your fault.
[14:55.580 -> 14:59.380] Because this year, it won't be your fault that you have a challenging relationship with
[14:59.380 -> 15:04.080] someone. It won't be your fault that a trauma that you carry from your childhood rears up
[15:04.080 -> 15:08.480] and impacts you. It won't be your fault that we end up with more challenging
[15:08.480 -> 15:12.800] economic situations like the cost of living crisis or the COVID pandemic or
[15:12.800 -> 15:17.840] the war in Ukraine. Loads of things will not be your fault but I'm afraid to say
[15:17.840 -> 15:22.720] all of them remain your responsibility to create the life you want, drive the
[15:22.720 -> 15:25.000] change that you need and get to the end
[15:25.000 -> 15:30.120] of 2023 in a happy and positive place. And thought that I'd leave you with is
[15:30.120 -> 15:35.160] that there is no neutral moment. Every decision you make you can divide it up
[15:35.160 -> 15:40.400] into hard or easy decisions. You can either look at the idea of getting up
[15:40.400 -> 15:44.200] early is a hard decision, the easy decision is staying in bed that extra
[15:44.200 -> 15:46.000] half an hour. But what so many of our high performers have told us is the more Mae'n ddifrif o'r cyfnod yma, mae'n ddifrif o'r cyfnod yma, mae'n ddifrif o'r cyfnod yma, mae'n ddifrif o'r cyfnod yma,
[15:46.000 -> 15:48.000] mae'n ddifrif o'r cyfnod yma,
[15:48.000 -> 15:50.000] mae'n ddifrif o'r cyfnod yma,
[15:50.000 -> 15:52.000] mae'n ddifrif o'r cyfnod yma,
[15:52.000 -> 15:54.000] mae'n ddifrif o'r cyfnod yma,
[15:54.000 -> 15:56.000] mae'n ddifrif o'r cyfnod yma,
[15:56.000 -> 15:58.000] mae'n ddifrif o'r cyfnod yma,
[15:58.000 -> 16:00.000] mae'n ddifrif o'r cyfnod yma,
[16:00.000 -> 16:02.000] mae'n ddifrif o'r cyfnod yma,
[16:02.000 -> 16:04.000] mae'n ddifrif o'r cyfnod yma,
[16:04.000 -> 16:10.560] mae'n ddifrif o'r cyfnod yma, mae'n ddifrif o'r cyfnod yma, There's that great saying that what comes easy doesn't last but what lasts doesn't come easy and I think the more hard decisions we can make like that the more sustainable our own
[16:10.560 -> 16:15.240] high-performance journey becomes. Thanks Damien. Thanks mate. I really hope you've enjoyed the
[16:15.240 -> 16:19.440] conversations about change over the past month. Just a quick reminder if you roll back to the
[16:19.440 -> 16:25.520] start of the month we spoke about goals in week one. Week two, we discussed motivation.
[16:25.520 -> 16:30.080] Last week, it was consistency, and this week, it was all about sustain.
[16:30.080 -> 16:34.520] Listen, we want 2023 to be the most incredible year for you.
[16:34.520 -> 16:37.880] Don't forget we're going on tour with the High Performance Live Theatre Show, so you
[16:37.880 -> 16:39.500] can come and see us live.
[16:39.500 -> 16:42.080] You can watch all of our episodes on YouTube as well.
[16:42.080 -> 16:43.840] You can join our Telegram community.
[16:43.840 -> 16:47.540] You can join the High Performance Circle. There are so many ways that you can interact with high
[16:47.540 -> 16:52.920] performance. I would love you to make that decision right now that this is the year that
[16:52.920 -> 16:57.260] you stick with us. This is the year that you allow us to do some hard work for you. This
[16:57.260 -> 17:00.760] is the year that when you're feeling in a low place, you have a community that you can
[17:00.760 -> 17:09.240] come to that will lift you up, that will help you to grow, that will feed you with knowledge and information that you need. This is the year that you get closer
[17:09.240 -> 17:14.620] to your own version of high performance. And you know what? We'll be with you every single
[17:14.620 -> 17:21.160] step of the way. Let's make 2023 a year of change for you, a year of change for us, and
[17:21.160 -> 17:24.320] a positive year of change for the world. Happy New Year.
[17:19.870 -> 17:23.630] for us and a positive year of change for the world.
[17:23.630 -> 17:24.470] Happy New Year.
