Moore Financial

Be greatful for the opportunity you have, and treat it like its fragile.

You are easily capable of 200K+

Get back to what you were about when you were at your prime.  Back then, call counts didn't matter.

Going in with a call goal every day is a miserable experience.  That's some early AA level stuff.  Your goal should be to get something like 5 great calls every day, and however many calls are needed to make that happen is the calls you make.  Calls are just what you do to get to the real work of great conversations.

Enjoying what you do cannot be about hitting a call number.  You'd be miserable if that was your goal.  Which is why you are miserable.

Need a "Monthly Determination Generation System"


Restoring integrity has revealed the need for a monthly system.  Currently I only have daily and weekly systems for generating determination.  This makes for a short time frame I have to do it in and when I've gone "off the rails" it doesn't work at all.  I need a good 1-2 hours per month where I really sit down and get highly determined to hit my goals, which the daily and weekly systems then use as their fuel for thought.

I essentially do this by default once or twice a year.  The problem is, it is only brought on by massive failures, and then once generated it's only a matter of time - usually 1-3 months - until it fades out again.

Instead of going with the default model, I'd like to switch to a model where I catch and replace my default behavior every month, following a system, determined by my word, not my feelings.  This system would look for going off the rails and generate major amounts of determination.

Once a month, I'd take maybe 2-4 hours to evaluate the following on scales of 1-10:
  1. When it comes to hitting my goals, how much do I HONESTLY care on a day to day basis?
  2. How clear are my goals in my mind, without looking?
  3. What is my current determination level?  (10 = Pure gladiator, 1 = Pure couch potato)

---

I’ve been pretending I am doing a big push & ramp up this year, that I am all about my new 2019 goals  (like I was in January) – but the truth is, I have not been pushing hard or very focused on my goals in February.

The impact pretending to be about my goals is that I feel like a loser, I feel disappointed in myself, and I feel incapable of achieving significant results.

What’s been missing is any sense of real determination and feeling alive, I’m missing that thrill of fighting to make something happen against all odds.

The possibility I am inventing for myself is determination.  I will keep my goals by my bedside and look at them when I wake up every day so I can start my days with determination to make my goals into reality.  Also, I will generate a deeper, more serious determination from 8-830 on Sundays.

Why am I never consistent over 6 months, 12 months, etc?

It’s obvious.  Very, very simple: Sometimes I care, sometimes I don’t care.

It’s really that simple.  One month I care, the next I don’t.

So all I need to get really consistent is to consistently care.  I have to want it.  Which means I need a monthly system in place wherein I generate high amounts of determination every single month.

Who Am I? Core Nature of "me" "my life" "I" etc

When you talk about your life, your talking about a sum of experiences, actions, choices, etc.  It all boils down to a collection of moments.  Your "whole life" is all of the moments you've been through.  Who you are now-a-days would be the more recent moments, as defined by some custom set of parameters.

These are all useful constructs.  Sure they're real, and true, but they only say who you are as a construct of a sum of smaller things.  You'll think of yourself one way, others will have it slightly different, probably with a lot of overlap.  The construct of "you" is essential and amazing and awesome.

However, it's not who you really are.  It's a construct.  And the problem is, you live moment-to-moment as if who you are is this construct.  That's where things get messy, because this construct is a sum of many, many moments, and it doesn't fit as a useful tool when it comes to managing your moment-to-moment life.

All that ever exists is the moment.  You are right here, right now.  No matter what you do, where you go, etc, you will always be right wherever you are, right in that moment.  The past is gone, and all you ever do is remember it in this moment, and the future isn't here yet, so all you ever do is predict it in this moment.

If all that exists is the moment, you cannot ever exist as a sum of moments.  You can only ACTUALLY exist as THIS moment.

So who are you?

You are the space in which this moment is happening.

You are like the raindrop reflecting the world.  You are the observer, the witness.  You see, touch, feel, think, experience it all, and that ever-changing experience is WHO YOU ARE.

PRIOR TO ROARS, SET UP DAILY SCHEDULES

Need:

7:30pm plan - daily alarm, and some kind of "how / what i will do" guideline, both setup.

  • Tie this into the bedtime ritual.  
  • Morning Plan - when and how will I review, and tie into the morning ritual.  Probably meditation AND THEN daily review.

Also, HOW will I restore integrity every time?  What will I do about the time it takes to restore integrity on like 10 things?  I have to always honor my word

Nothing Meditation

The key insight to getting to "nothing" is not that there is nothing, it's this:

All that is going on right now is a meaning making machine is in a room thinking that it is significant.

Obj.3.1e (2.5/30)

Tested google slides, powerpoint solution - will be setting up slides in google, and then downloading as powerpoint and from there adding in the audio as background audio and recording / rendering video from there.

This way, slides will be backed up as both google slides and powerpoint presentations, and I won't use up my google drive space.

Tested audio rendering - 256 hz MP3 works great

Tested video rendering - powerpoint direct makes a nice, clean MP4 that is only slightly bigger than Magix and streams nicely with Vimeo.  So, will simply render direct from powerpoint.

Next up, stress test a full section, preferably the longest one.  See if power-point can handle.  Format the slides first so you can legitimately edit this session together, will make life easier later.  So just the formatting and everything will take an hour, not only do I have to get it all nicely styled complete with title slides, but then I have to get the transitions done nicely and copy + paste from google doc straight to google slides setup properly (probably copy paste session 1 script onto a "session 1 slides setup" doc)

Then, try doing the entire session 1 render and upload.  This will be where I find out if powerpoint will need to be chunks that are combined, or if it can handle the whole session by itself.




Snowboarding & Responsibility

During the snow season, I allow disciplines to drop off and my overall satisfaction to drop.

Skiing basically becomes an excuse for me to do whatever I feel like doing and then my quality of life drops, kind of making the snowboarding season bittersweet.

CAUSE IN THE MATTER

Currently cause in the matter of:
  • Dropping off of all disciplines


What I'd like to be cause in the matter of:

  • A schedule: How and when I will work.
  • A specific discipline structure: Krista days, SNW days.
    • Get creative.  What do I want to maintain to have it be both awesome and what I want?
      • For example, I DO want to eat junky, but maybe NOT a lot of cheese and beer since that will bloat me, make it hard to breath, and make me feel like shit.
  • Drive separately for expanded freedom.
  • Enrolling my snow crew in what I was up to.
  • Restoring integrity like crazy.

Cold Calling as the Pre-Game for Greatness



Simple Premise: I create all my fun, satisfaction, fulfillment, power, and freedom with my cold calls.

IN FACT: Fun, satisfaction, fulfillment, power, and freedom don't happen without them.

I can create value because I want to.  But, I need something to create value WITH.  And the more the "WITH" object is outside my comfort zone, the more there is to gain.

I thereby use cold calling as a means to obtaining whatever value or possibility I am creating.

It's the OPPOSITE of the normal paradigm, in which cold calling drains my willpower and makes me sluggish on business at the end of the day.  Instead, cold calling becomes that which builds a foundation so that at 5pm I LAUNCH into my most important work.  Cold calling is the buildup, it's the pre-game.  

Without it, I go into business building work with much less power, freedom, or whatever it is I am trying to create.

Integrity Restoration + Ideas

Morning Ritual, Food integrity: Wiped out in post-snowboarding / post-trip day

  • Impact is I am not following any disciplines or any structure to my day.
  • I will plan all future trips such that my plan includes both the days of the trip AND the following day.  Any custom structure necessary will be setup in advance so I can start back up with integrity.

Idea:

Krista says she plans out her days like 10-20 min night before so she's clear going into her day what happens and doesn't think about considerations.  Interesting idea for how I'd get to 75%+ integrity.
