1
What is a breakthrough?
2
A breakthrough can happen many ways.
3
It can come from an insight.
4
It can come from being pissed off or increasing your desire.
5
It can come from watching a movie, having a conversation.
6
Breakthroughs can come from anywhere.
7
Educational environment.
8
What is a breakthrough?
9
Here's my definition.
10
It's a moment in time which what once was impossible becomes possible and you act on it.
11
I'm going to say that again.
12
A breakthrough is a moment in time.
13
Why is that important?
14
Because you can go from not having the answer to having the answer how fast, my friends, how fast.
15
In a heartbeat.
16
If you get in the right state, you'll get the right answer.
17
You stay in the same state, it's impossible.
18
You're stuck.
19
Right?
20
So it's a moment in time when the impossible suddenly becomes possible and you act on it.
21
That's a breakthrough.
22
Not just you have an insight.
23
You act on it.
24
If you're going to have breakthroughs, I'll give you a fast shortcut.
25
I'd rather have you figure this out.
26
Normally I'd have you write down a breakthrough you've already had.
27
Who's had an area in your life where you struggled to get a result?
28
Maybe you've got mad at yourself because you said you're going to do something, didn't do it, tried it, tried it.
29
Till one day, something you snapped and said, another day, another hour, I'm changing this up now.
30
Who's done this before?
31
Say I. So you've had breakthroughs.
32
If I had more time, I'd have you write it down and analyze it and then reveal this to you.
33
For time's sake, I just got to tell you.
34
There's three keys to a breakthrough.
35
If you want a breakthrough in your business, in your finances, in your body, with your relationship, same three things.
36
I spent my whole life studying breakthroughs and trying to make it more simple.
37
You know why?
38
Complexity is the enemy of execution.
39
Jot it down.
40
Complexity is the enemy of execution.
41
I used to make myself feel so smart.
42
I could describe things in such detail, but I found nobody followed through.
43
It's harder to make it simple.
44
So I want to give you three simple steps.
45
and I'm going to give them to you in reverse order of importance.
46
Why would I do that?
47
Because this is the order people do it in why they don't get a breakthrough.
48
So there are three S's.
49
The first key to a breakthrough is strategy.
50
I am a strategist.
51
As I said earlier, my whole life is finding the answers, the solutions, the tools to compress decades into days.
52
Someone's figured something out, took them 15 years.
53
I figure how they did it.
54
Maybe I can teach it to somebody in six hours, six days, but it's not going to be 16 years.
55
How many follow this?
56
Say, I.
57
So I know the value of strategies and I'm a strategist, but it is the worst place to start.
58
And it's where everybody starts.
59
And there's a reason why.
60
Because there's a sequence to a breakthrough.
61
If you do the wrong sequence, it's like knowing someone's phone number.
62
You have the right number, put it in the wrong order, and you don't reach them.
63
You know the numbers to open a vault?
64
You put the right numbers in the wrong order, doesn't open it.
65
There is a sequence to breakthroughs.
66
The one most people pursue, let's take a simple thing.
67
75% of America's overweight.
68
It's the fattest country in the history of the world.
69
No one likes to use the word fat, that's what it is.
70
I used to be 38 pounds heavier than I am now, I told people I was big boned.
71
Right?
72
No, I was fat.
73
Right?
74
So, why are we so fat?
75
Is it because the strategy for being fit and healthy
76
and strong is so complex that only the most intellectual humans can understand it?
77
Yes or no? Is it because it's
78
so expensive to find those answers only the top 0.1% can get access to the answers that'll be fit and strong?
79
Is that the problem?
80
Yes or no?
81
No. The problem is people start, figure out, start with how.
82
When you start with how to do something that you've never done successfully, your brain feels uncertain and it rejects it.
83
It's like, I'm not gonna, I don't wanna fail.
84
I've never done this before.
85
I don't know what to do.
86
If you do it with a team of people, you're gonna fail as a team.
87
As a culture, you can't start with strategy, or most of the times you're gonna get limited results or no results.
88
How many times has somebody gone to McKinsey and paid tens of millions of dollars for a strategy, which comes to the company and it never gets implemented?
89
Who knows what I'm talking about here?
90
Say aye.
91
Because number one, they built the strategy, and number two, you can't start with strategy.
92
Because the problem isn't strategy first.
93
Now don't get me wrong, some people might have the wrong strategy for losing weight.
94
But it's not that complex.
95
How far would you have to go from this building to get someone to help you to lose weight?
96
How far would you go?
97
There's gyms in the hotels, there's places that if you, God forbid, you walk to the gym, you could drive to it.
98
You could download the answers onto your iPad or phone right now.
99
You could hire a trainer.
100
You have to work to not know how to be fit.
101
And most people do, because they're starting with strategy, okay?
102
It's not a strategy problem in most cases.
103
It's the second thing you need for a breakthrough.
104
It's a story problem.
105
What is a story?
106
A story is a set of beliefs that you tell yourself over and over again until you believe the story.
107
There's an old phrase.
108
It says, you tell us a lie big enough, loud enough, and long enough, sooner or later people believe you.
109
Goebbels for Hitler did that.
110
That's exactly what they did.
111
But most of us are Hitler to ourselves.
112
We keep telling ourselves, oh, I want to lose weight, but I can't because I've tried what?
113
What have I tried?
114
Shout it.
115
What do people say?
116
I've tried?
117
If you tried everything, you'd be fit.
118
Don't bull me.
119
You've tried everything.
120
What have you tried?
121
I've tried hundreds of things.
122
Hundreds?
123
Name them.
124
Well, I've tried thousands or I've tried dozens.
125
Name them.
126
I did do these two stupid things over and over again that don't work.
127
That's what they mean when they say I've tried everything.
128
Or, why you don't have the relationship you want?
129
All the good ones are gone, or they're gay and I'm not, or I'm gay and they're not.
130
Bullshit.
131
There's millions of people out there, but you're trying to start with a strategy where you don't feel successful because you haven't been before.
132
You have a story that tells you it won't work.
133
And if you tell yourself a story over and over again, you'll believe it.
134
Once you believe something, you only find things that support what you believe.
135
I'm gonna give you a test.
136
Sit up in your chair with some energy.
137
Look around this room as fast as you can and notice everything you can find that's brown.
138
Try to see everything that's brown.
139
Brown people, brown clothing, brown anything.
140
Brown, brown, brown, look around.
141
Okay, close your eyes.
142
Close your eyes.
143
Tell me everything you just saw that was red.
144
How many are seeing a lot more brown?
145
Make some noise if you saw more brown.
146
Make some noise.
147
Okay, open your eyes and look for red.
148
You have to find it.
149
Look for red.
150
Behind you, around you, you gotta find red.
151
Look for red.
152
Look for red.
153
Look for red.
154
How many found more red this time?
155
If you did, say, aye.
156
Aye.
157
Why did you find more red this time?
158
Because you look for it.
159
Seek and ye shall find.
160
Listen to me now.
161
Seek and ye shall find.
162
Once you believe something, you only find what supports what you believe, whether it's true or not.
163
I'll prove it to you.
164
seeking you shall find even if it's not there.
165
How can I prove it to you?
166
How many saw beige, called it brown, just so you could get a higher score?
167
Make some noise if you do that.
168
How many saw burgundy, called it red, just so you could feel successful?
169
Our beliefs color what's going on.
170
So, change, write this down, change your story, change your life.
171
If you want to change things, don't start with strategy.
172
Because if, how many times, have you ever tried to help somebody and you start to help them and they start fighting you on it.
173
Who's ever had this happen?
174
Because their story says nothing will work.
175
And they're certain, I believe is the building of certainty.
176
And the only certain is they told themselves over and again.
177
A new story is a new life.
178
How do you change it all in reality?
179
You start with a third S and you make it number one.
180
The third S is your state, the thing we've been talking about.
181
There is nothing more powerful to change human performance than changing your state.
182
Every athlete knows it.
183
Anybody who's a performer knows it.
184
Anybody who performs at a high level and business knows it.
185
State is everything.
186
Mental, emotional state.
187
Have you ever been pissed off at somebody
188
and then you noticed you remembered everything they've ever done that's
189
ever pissed you off who knows what I'm talking about here you've experienced this say hi or
190
when you fall in love try this for a second just
191
for fun make the sound of being in love go ahead make the sound
192
Wow it's been a while for some of you clearly huh let's try
193
that again how about love
194
and lust time where you couldn't stop thinking about somebody want
195
to be with them want to make love with them make the sound of totally love and the lust.
196
Go ahead.
197
That was better.
198
Lasted longer.
199
That's good.
200
Now, when you're in love, what's wrong with life?
201
You don't have any money, but it's okay.
202
When you're in love with someone, what will you do for them?
203
What?
204
What?
205
Anything.
206
If they go, could you take out the trash?
207
You go, take out the trash. Of course.
208
What else could I do for you?
209
But after seven days, seven weeks, seven months or 70 years, somewhere in there.
210
One day they say you take out the trash, you go, what do I look like, your janitor?
211
You go, I don't know what happened.
212
We used to have so much passion, what happened?
213
Your state controls your story.
214
Your story controls whether you find a strategy or whether you make one.
215
Sometimes there isn't a strategy, but if you have the right state and the right story, you'll come, who's done this before?
216
Who told you there's something that couldn't be done, but you got so in state about it, It was so committed to it, you figured a way, you made a new way.
217
Who's done this before?
218
Say, I.
219
That's what makes you an innovator.
220
So from this day forward, you want to change your relationship?
221
You want to change your body?
222
You want to change your finances?
223
You want to change your business?
224
Change the state of yourself and the team.
225
That's what every quarterback knows how to do.
226
If they don't, people will not perform.
227
Second, come up with a story that empowers you.
228
And then third, in those states with those stories, Find a strategy that's proven or make one up.
229
That's how breakthroughs happen.

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
