Motivation vs. Comfort: What Are You Willing to Sacrifice?
How often do we sacrifice our goals for comfort? George and Robby dive into this delicate balance, analyzing why certain goals don’t seem to get prioritized and why comfort is such a powerful force. George opens up about his on-again, off-again pursuit of a six-pack, admitting that some days comfort feels better than the sacrifices it takes to get fit. Robby challenges him (and the audience) to consider the deeper reasons behind these comfort-based choices and whether they’re worth it in the long run.
Ever wondered about the psychological ups and downs of ambitious goal-setting, like chasing that elusive six-pack? Our candid discussion covers the internal battles and trade-offs needed to prioritize fitness amidst life's pleasures. You'll hear about the importance of embracing the present moment, while also navigating the pressure of feeling like you should be further along in life. We share insights on diet, discipline, and the surprising benefits of setting goals that seem just out of reach.
This episode is perfect for anyone seeking motivation to take on bigger goals in the new year. George and Robby remind listeners that while small wins are important, the best goals are those that drive real change. By setting meaningful, ambitious resolutions, we open ourselves up to new possibilities—and potentially life-changing results.
Do you ever feel, sometimes, like you're bouncing in the same spot?
Robby:Me? Yeah Well, I don't really bounce. I feel like I'm running, running in the same spot. Yeah, who the fuck body think On a pogo stick? Yeah, something like boom boom.
George:Sometimes you bounce to get pumped up. I feel like Boxes, when they're about to get to a fight, when they're about to get in a fight.
Robby:I do feel that way. Yeah, some days, some days, I don't know, some days, what is it? What is it?
George:Sometimes I look so I've been training for quite some time now, say 12 months, pretty well, pretty solidly. And you know, looking in the mirror the other day I was like, have I really changed that much? You know, as in body shape? And the answer, if I'm going to be completely honest, it's no. But like I'm significantly stronger, and also it's especially if I'm wearing clothing or t-shirts, they fit a lot better, pants fit better, all that sort of stuff. So there's definitely change. That's happened. But is it six pack washboard abs, massive arms. You know what I mean? Is it there? No, it's not.
Robby:Why.
George:It's not a belief. I know it has to come down to diet, and also something that my coach said as well, which was really good, is it's not your number?
Robby:one thing I said yeah, you're completely right, that's just a fucking sorry, but no offense to your coach, who might listen or may not listen. 100%, he's listening. He's listening.
Speaker 3:Do you?
Robby:think this is a joke. I think that's just an outlet, like okay, cool, hey, this is the reason why you have it.
George:And it's like but you've got to. But there is truth to it. Yeah, there is. It doesn't mean it's not true. Yeah, everything is make it true. Yeah, yeah, it's still an excuse. Yeah, it's true, that's true, that is also true. But it's also the reality where I was, that I was in because I was so busy at work it's never going to be your number one thing.
Robby:No, I disagree. So it's never going to be your number one thing. What do? You mean unless you're going to be a bodybuilder, it's never going to be your number one thing yeah, but if you made it say a priority over the next three months, that's what you're gonna do number three?
George:yeah, none of yeah, but also yeah, okay, but you've still got a higher level of priority to do it okay, so you'd need to prioritize but that's partly why I I specifically engaged him, you know, three times a week to be training, because I know that if I hadn't engaged him I'd probably just go once a week or I'd go twice or whatever maybe how many.
Robby:Okay, so how many times I?
George:don't think it's necessarily the quantity of training, it's the discipline with the food as well, which is why the carnival diet was very appealing to me when you recently did it yeah I believe I will. I haven't done it yet. He's done it. Yeah, I know he's done. Yeah, he's done, I can tell. Walked in the room. He had to walk in through the door sideways. Actually you walked in normally because you're probably dropping all that weight, all that extra weight that you were carrying.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I actually lost two kilos in four days. Two kilos four days Just from eating meat. Yeah, just from eating meat. I think it's water weight, but still I'm just losing Because I'm skinny, that's right. I weigh like 69 kgs Now Because I'm skinny, that's right. I weigh like 69 kgs Now. I'm at 67. How tall are you? 180 centimeters.
Robby:Yeah, 180 centimeters.
Speaker 3:You always say that every time I tell you that, and then you come to me and say like oh yeah, probably, yeah, yeah, probably, that's about right.
Robby:Yeah, seems 182 with shoes on Sounds about right. That's the benefit of wearing shoes off. Never take my shoes off.
George:So, anyway, yes, so have I-, so I had that Okay, this is the thing. Right, I had a goal. I had a goal of having a six pack by the time I was 40. Yeah, I didn't achieve that goal, okay. However, I don't regret that, that that I didn't achieve it. Did you get closer towards it? Absolutely, I did. Absolutely. I did. No more back pain, yeah, so I used to have back pain every night and every morning when I woke up, my lower back would kill just for no reason, no reason, but I had back pain now been training non-existent.
George:I'm stronger, I feel better, clothes are fitting better and I'm in bed. I have lost weight and I am in better shape. And I haven't stopped. I'm still going. It's become habitual for me to be going and working out and going to the gym. So, regardless of me not getting the six-pack, there's been some significant results that wouldn't have been there if I didn't have the goal of getting a six pack. And it's that whole 10x movement in your mind that's. Gc always says grant. We're waiting. Let us know once you're done with all the election stuff with uh trump and then, uh, this will be post-election we'll be post-election by the time he hears this.
George:But now that you're all done with it, if you're not still campaigning, you're more than welcome trump's on.
Robby:More than welcome to come on. I'm going to call it right now what Trump's one.
George:Shit. How's the world going once Trump's won? Surely no more world wars. Surely Trump's won Hands on the button like this yeah, he's like you know. I don't know if everything One hand on the. Button one hand typing a tweet.
Robby:What's?
George:her name Carmela Harris, dud, dud, everything I've, unless that's the narrative. I've been fed of all the videos.
Robby:I'm saying she's fucking got no clue she's a very I'm sure she's a capable human yeah, but the videos I've seen haven't been great, but maybe that's because I'm a trump supporter 100 make austral Australia great again.
George:Good so anyway, gc, back to what he was saying 10x, and it's not necessarily okay. You want to make, you want to make 5 million dollars revenue in your business this year, right, so why not go for 25? Because if you make 18, that's a significant amount, more than 5, and that's how I felt with my training and, at the start of the year, sat down, wrote goals. We spoke about it as well, about setting goals and what we wanted to do for 2025.
George:And I recently looked at those as well and I reckon there's at least 60, no, sorry, I'd say there's about 50-50. As far as which ones I would tick, yep, that's a good one, and which ones I would tick and say, no, that's no good. So about 50-50 with it. And I wasn't disappointed because the 50% that I hadn't achieved yet I had done more than if I never set the goal in the first place. So you've still made progress. I've still made progress in every single one of those, even though I didn't achieve them. There's some of them. Some of them I have so what's the plan?
George:Because you said If they're still important to me at the end of this year or at the start of next, I'll put them back on the list. Maybe some of them weren't as important to me back at the start of the year as what I thought they would be, and my priorities change Because I've had other goals. So I've achieved other things right this year that weren't on my list of goals but were always a goal of mine, and one of them is When's this coming out? This will be mid november, mid november. One of them is putting a general manager on and my business. Yeah, and that's happened. Now. I am now ceo. Ceo bitch, I'm ceo, I am ceo bitch. C-suite. This is the c-suite. This is what it feels like no more-Suite days. This is what it feels like no more fucking around. I'm C-Suite. So my GM Well done. Hey, we can cast all the time. Now How's I still got?
Robby:stuff to do. I'll come help you. I've got spare time. Yeah, come past.
George:What do I need to do? Iggy, so you're going to fuck off to Mongolia? I can go up with a cameraman.
Robby:You work? Yeah, can you train him up, can you?
George:He just he came to one of my sites the other day filming. He goes hey, do you want to put the goggles on and fly the drone? I'm like fuck, did you do it? I was going to lose it. The drone would have fucking crashed into the concrete truck and spontaneously combust truck and spontaneously combust. I actually crashed the drone into the uh I don't think you come.
Speaker 3:Oh, you did pouring. My apprentice told me that yeah, I thought he was joking. It went straight through the concrete. Can't you hear it? I can't hear you now. Oh yeah, there you go. There you go. I think channel one does this weird thing. Even though it's not recording, you can still hear me, but when I turn it off, you can't hear me like which the other, but now that I'm c-suite.
George:Maybe teach me how to do that when you're gone so I can do it, yeah we're actually looking at um replacing e in this with an automated automated yes, shit, we're working on that. At the moment We've got some things brewing, but maybe you can just come. If you're not going to want to come, anyway, just come, sit here and talk shit, he still doesn't know that he's not leaving, yet Is it an anchor? Is that what they're called?
Robby:He doesn't know that he's not leaving yet. Oh, doesn't he? You haven't told him.
George:No, ah shit, figure it out soon enough.
Robby:Back to the goals thing. So you said you had a goal six pack you haven't seen a lot change.
George:No, no, I just haven't seen the six pack, but I've had a significant change in health, in life, in energy, in strength, like there's been huge positive flow on effects as a result of me training.
Robby:And that's great, yeah, but you also said that your trainer said that it wasn't your number one thing yes, you go, because I asked him that too.
George:I said should I actually sat there? I said hey, should I be more progressed than what I am?
Robby:all right, that's a that's a great question yeah, but ask because that can, that's a very confronting question. Yeah, and I ask myself that, and you know what? I feel like that all the time, me too. And I say to myself man, I feel like for my age I should be further along than what I am, and I'm sure a lot of people listening to this feel that way as well.
George:Yes, but should's a very dangerous word, isn't it Going back a few podcasts ago that I wasn't a part of? Yeah, all right, yes, shoulds. A very dangerous one there. You got to live in this moment right now. You know, I would love to in the future, pre-framing your, your words as to where you want to be. But I asked him that question okay, should I? We've been training for solidly for, say, 12 months? Right, 12 months of training? Should I be more advanced than what I am, body shape wise? And he said that exact same thing. He goes. If you wanted to, he goes. If you wanted to, you could be that guy. You could be the six pack abs in three months. I can do it for you. No worries, he goes, but this is what it's going to take. Are you willing to do that? And I said no. You said no At that time. Like what it's train every day, eat like an animal. Like, sleep like an animal. See, I'm sleeping really well too. We mentioned that a few podcasts ago.
Robby:Yeah.
George:I think that's been an on flow of me training too, because I'm tired now like I work out. We did a training this morning. I was worked out hard, like it was hard work. I was actually building up a sweat and because I'm lifting heavy weights, I feel tired now when I go home and I'm exhausted from a big day at work, so I actually go to bed early. But anyway, there's, there's things that I have to give up in order to be able to do that and just focus on every single day and do it. Could I do it? Yeah, like fuck, excuses. Do you know what I mean? It's excuses. Could you do it? Yes, you could. I could do that and do this. Couldn't I gun to my head? You said, hey, if you don't do this, I'm going to kill you, right, relax, man don't take it so personally.
Robby:I'll do it. Yeah, but it's the trade-off yeah right. It's like what am I willing to give up to get this thing? Yeah, that's exactly right, because there's always a trade.
George:I think there's always a trade. Yes, I agree. Yeah, you want that. You're going to give up the fucking pizza.
Robby:You're going to give up the? Maybe it's sleeping in or maybe it's the weekend sleeping. You know what I mean. Like people love that shit.
George:Well, I'm going out tonight with some friends and we're all going out my wife and them and we're going to Grilla Americano. You been there before?
Robby:Is that where they serve you the nonstop meat? I don't know, but apparently it's good, the Brazilian barbecue.
George:A Grilla Americano?
Robby:I don't know, I thought it was.
Speaker 3:American. I thought it was like American barbecue. I don't even know what the cuisine is.
George:I think there is, but anyway I'm going there tonight. So if I was this strict, this, no, no, we've got to do this. I've got to pre-look up the menu. What can I eat? How many grams is it? Should I bring my scales? You know what I mean. Should I not eat lunch to make up for the calories I'm going to eat this afternoon? Does it mean I have to train an extra hour the next day? Does it mean every single day I've got to get my work working? It's like 75 okay, hold on.
Robby:Concept of it. Yeah, do you think that is the only way you can have a six pack?
George:what do you mean? Uh, no, not what. It's gonna take a level. What do you mean by that question?
Robby:sorry, so do you think the only way you can have a six pack is for you to be able to measure every single macro going into your diet to ensure that, if you ever went anywhere, you know exactly where you're consuming all the time?
George:and there's no way around it no, it's just data, though, isn't it like? It's the same as business? When you know your numbers, when you know the things, the metrics you can measure, you can make adjustments. That's all that is. So is it the only way? No, I'm sure I could do it without measuring a single thing and just eating, going carnival diet, doing one thing or making to a degree, knowing what I'm consuming and that, hey, I shouldn't have cake.
Robby:Yeah, I think you have to have some level of understanding of what you're consuming. Yeah, that's right.
George:That's right. So could you do it without it? Yeah, absolutely.
Robby:Yeah.
George:Absolutely you could. So you know part. Maybe I do train five days a week instead of three. Maybe I do go for a walk, maybe I walk to and from work every single day, maybe I do whatever it might be, that's just one aspect of it. One element of it. That's just the health side of things. Now, let's look at any other goal. It's the same concept behind it of things. Now, let's look at any other goal, and it's the same concept behind it. All right, so what is how much of a priority? Is you getting that goal? And that's what I ask myself with everything.
Robby:So is that still a goal for you?
George:The six pack. We're saying yeah, yeah, absolutely, because this time and I still I've got time to do it, so I've moved the goals a little bit. The goalposts. Let's say Yep. Remember, I can't remember I think we spoke early episodes, we spoke.
George:I went to Noosa and it was a resort and I walked in there and we're sitting by the pool and I looked around at all the blokes A bunch of fat people and they're all fucking fat, all dad bods, all of them, 90%, and that's a pretty accurate estimation of the physical condition of everyone in that place. Some of them weren't just dad bods, some of them were fucking obese. You are a heart attack territory, dude. You're not winning at life. They may be winning financially, they can afford a nice resort with their family, get the flights up, all that sort of stuff doing okay there, but you're fat.
George:I looked at that and I was like these people have given up or they're too comfortable. It's easy to get your food, it's easy to eat chocolate cake, it's easy to do all these other things. It's hard to work out, it's hard to have the six pack. So when I looked at that at that time I said cool, we're coming back here next year because we tend to do it a yearly trip with that. So we're coming back and I go next time I come back. I'm not going to be in that category, so that's what. That's where my next goal is. So february this year is still the goal of me.
Robby:Um, reaching that okay, and what are you going to do? So right now, I think my biggest thing you're three months out. Yeah, I've got time 90 days yeah, I see it as um.
George:I think my biggest hurdle is diet, just the food I'm consuming. Not that I eat bad, mind you, I don't eat bad but I just need to be more disciplined with what I'm eating. And now I'm more conscious when I'm eating foods and all that sort of stuff. When we did a pizza review a few weeks back when we went for our gun license, you heard right, pro guns, pro guns. We are pro guns. Maga Trump, trump, maga. Heard right, pro guns, pro guns, we are pro guns. Maga trump, trump, maga maga. So we're going to fly for our gun license. Have you done the application yet to actually get the gun? I've got it.
Robby:I've got it here you got actually carrying it around your gun.
George:Nah the application but have you actually sent it off? Because I haven't done that yet I've got to go get um.
Robby:Nah, I haven't. To put it simply, cool um.
George:Sorry to diverse, but um what was the same?
George:you were talking about the pizza review oh yeah, when, fucking, we haven't got our gun license, like, oh, do you want to get something to it? Yeah, I'm gonna do a pizza review, like, all right, cool, so what did I get? A pizza, I got a fucking pizza. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, so there's days like that that I will be like, okay, I got pizza today. Alright, you, fat fuck, keep eating pizza, see where your six pack goes. But that's what I mean. The discipline didn't kick in and I was like, alright, one day pizza, relax, you'll be right. You sell yourself. How badly do you want it? How badly do you want any of your goals, if it's really that critically?
Robby:important. Let me challenge you there, please. So you believe in macros? Do you believe that whole concept? I don't believe that concept anymore, personally, I think that's all bullshit. I think if you have as much steak as you want, I think you'll lose weight. That's the truth. I genuinely think, dude. I've eaten massive mountains of meat and just ate as much as I could until I couldn't eat anymore and weight was falling off me. Do you?
George:think, though, if you ate the same amount of chocolate cake or donuts.
Robby:No, I think that's a bad calorie.
George:Yeah, so it's the food you're consuming. That's what it is at the end of the day. Yes, yeah, the only reason I've never followed macros in my whole life. I've never done that before. Yeah, but from my coach's perspective, he's just saying it's a metric that you can track. Like, you've got fats, proteins, carbs Okay, you're eating protein, that's it Right. And you probably have some fat yeah, eating protein, that's it right. And you probably have some fat yeah, you have some fat too, but you're predominantly eating protein, which your body is using, and you're burning energy because you're going to the gym and using that. The bigger, the bigger your muscles are, the more energy you burn and he goes.
George:Our bodies are genetic freaks in the sense that they are made to withhold fat for survival purposes. That's what they're built to do, because we don't know when our next. We never knew for many thousands of years where our next meal was coming from, so we had to hold that fat in order for us to feed off of it when we didn't have food. And now, because food's so easily accessible and we can eat anything, and there's sweet things and there's addictive things, and there's all accessible and we can eat anything, and there's sweet things and there's addictive things and there's all these foods we can eat at any time we want. Really, most people in the first world country can do that. We hold that fat there and that's why it exists.
George:So the macros is simply, I just see it as a metric to be able to track just the same in your business. That's all. I see it as not that I have to do this, I have to have that, I have to have that, um, and I think even if you went plant based, you would have had similar results. I did, I've done it. Oh yeah. Well, there you go and did you drop that much? Yeah?
George:see, I don't think what I've seen.
Robby:I haven't done either of those diets I don't think either of them is sustainable yeah, oh really, yeah.
George:Yeah, I don't think either of them are sustainable. Yeah, oh really, yeah, yeah, I don't think either side is sustainable. From what I've seen, is those diets work not because they are the right diet or the best type of food to eat. You stop eating the shit. You stop eating the shit, yeah, and they go okay. Well, now I'm not eating 15 donuts a week, I'm just going to have meat. Well, of course, you're going to lose that weight Now for yourself. Iggy, you've just started on the carnivore diet. You were saying the other day and you're a pretty slim guy and you've got dropped a couple kilos already in the space of four days just from eating meat. Now, that's a lot from a percentage of body fat that's probably really high for you to have dropped. So much.
Speaker 3:Do you know what I?
George:mean yeah, um. So so yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Looking at those goals, at my goals that I've completed, some of them will go back on the list next year and some of them aren't really as important to me as I thought they were at the start of the year, funny enough. Um, there was some goals on there that I didn't really. I had a goal on there that was just just because I just know, just for me, just because I think that's what they called it, just any random goal-setting item, and it was to buy a Rolex. Okay, I could go and buy a Rolex today, I could, but I don't feel that I need one, like I don't want it enough to go and get it.
Robby:Yeah.
George:Do you know what I mean? Yeah, I get that. So it's like why should I go spend 20, 30, 40 grand on a watch? This one's telling the time just fine at the moment. Do you know what I mean? And it's like that I always battle, as you do as well. It's like, oh, should I get that, or could I spend an extra 10 grand on ads? Should I get that, spend an extra 40 grand and employ someone? So I'm at that battle now, and then again with the C-suite. I've put an extra person who's getting very well paid in my company. I go fuck, I've got to come up with his money every week, every month.
George:It's got to come from somewhere. It's got to come from somewhere. Should I be going to get a Rolex to celebrate that? No, not necessarily.
Robby:Yeah.
George:Not necessarily, so I think about that a little bit too. I had no intention of buying a new car. Bought a new car. All right, tick that one off, that's done.
Robby:So that wasn't a goal.
George:No, it was one of the goals. Oh, it was. Yeah, I had it on there to buy a car, but I had no intention of actually buying one. I thought, oh yeah, that could be something that could happen and I ended up going new car, which I love, by the way, the new car.
Robby:I can't believe it. How good is it?
George:I can't believe how much I enjoy driving the car.
Robby:How good's the car? Yeah, it's a sick car, dude.
George:So Ford Ranger off topic. It's such a step up from the previous generation.
Robby:Dude, phenomenal car, such a step up. Well done Good. On Ford, I had someone bought the car the person who was driving my car but he had the four cylinder and he sold it. But I drove that and I was like this is a sick car. And then when I was going to buy this, I ran to buy him and he was like, yeah, man, no brainer. But then he drove the V6 and he's like, hey, the V6 is a whole nother level. Yeah, so he got the car. The four cylinder felt a bit trucky because it's truck.
George:That's what it was like. It was trucky, this one's car like. But, yeah, how about yourself? Did you have some goals at the start of the year? Yeah, of course. How do you feel about them coming? You know, because, guys, this is mid-november now how many weeks we got till the end of the year Till Christmas? Six weeks, if that. Yeah, yes, five to six weeks, and then probably another seven, eight weeks till New Year's, when all of you are going to sit down and go. I'm going to quit smoking, I'm going to lose five kilos? No, you're fucking not, because it's a spontaneous piece of bullshit that you're telling yourself. You've got to really sit down and think about what you want, not just going. Oh, this is what I'm going to do this year. New year, new me.
Robby:Sorry, I think. No, give it to him. Give it to him.
George:Not here to be your friend, I think here to make change your life.
Robby:I think you're not supposed to get all your goals.
George:Cool, that's a good way to look at it. But hey, is that an excuse? No, it's not Okay.
Robby:Because if you were Please elaborate If you got all your goals, like, did you really push yourself, did you?
George:really aim-. Were they that ambitious goals? Yeah, did you really aim yeah.
Robby:Yeah, it's like I want to lose one.
George:I want to lose two kilos.
Robby:Yeah, that would rain you know, yeah, did you really aim as far as you could? Did you really stretch yourself? Did you really try and do things that were kind of out of the realms of possibility? Yeah, you know, and I think if you come to the end of the year and you're like, I received, I knocked every single, I ticked every single one off, that's something you need to ask as well.
Robby:That's in my opinion hey, yes, have a top 10 podcast in australia. Are we there, surely, I'm surely after this episode? Yeah, and whilst you're listening to this, and hey, there's only one not over, he is not over, he is not over. You know what it is that helps you get top 10. No, no, you, you don't know. No, I wouldn't. Actually. It's actually. I have no idea.
George:No idea. I mean look, this is only my first year I've been doing a podcast.
Robby:You're right. I think one of the key aspects is making sure that people subscribe.
George:How would they do that though?
Robby:You know that we have a lot of people who listen to this who aren't currently subscribed. Most people listen to this on Spotify. 80 plus percent of our listeners listen on an Apple iPhone, so you can tell that as well. I can tell everything. It's 40% of wearing black jocks.
George:Everyone's just looking at their jocks, robbie knows, we know it all, but can I ask a question with that, how do you know it's an iPhone? It actually tells you on that what device is it?
Speaker 3:Wow, that's interesting Like iPhone or Apple or Android, because obviously you listen back. Ios and Android yeah, you can see it, Do you?
George:you obviously listen back to this podcast and you subscribe, don't you? I've definitely subscribed when. What platform do you use Me? Yeah, to listen to the podcast.
Robby:I actually don't listen to his podcast Shit yeah.
George:You haven't listened back.
Robby:No, I sometimes check the clips just to make sure that all the editing is okay yeah.
George:Because I can be a bit I think.
Robby:I've listened to every episode you have Start to finish. Sometimes I just watch like, and sometimes I'll watch a. So we got on the seven minute clips. Yeah, those clips like. Sometimes if that pops up on my feed I'll just watch it just to see, because I want to see. Make sure the editing work, make sure the team are doing the right thing and they're starting at the right point, ending at the right point.
Robby:You don't notice. The other day that really bothered me and I'm gonna bring it up now live. Whenever we set up one last, we did this. One of these was upside down and I was watching the mic and the bro was upside down and I got so annoyed.
George:Really, yeah, see, I don't watch it. I very rarely watch it. I will listen to it and I normally use the Apple podcast.
Robby:Use Apple podcast. Yeah, most of our listeners are on Spotify.
George:Yeah, there you go, so anyway subscribe.
Robby:Yeah, to make us put us in the top 10 and make sure, george gets his goal this year.
George:Come on, it's not all me, it's not all me. Stop fucking around how can you set a goal? Where-? Can I just say something, though? So it's a pretty ambitious goal to have in the first year of having a podcast, isn't it? I agree, top 10. It's fucking pretty good in Australia, and I didn't say the world just said australia, it's your second year. Well, now we're in the second year. Yes, we're still in the year of 2020. Where did we start?
Speaker 3:23, yeah, 2023 yeah shit, oh shit. Second year, holy shit we're in the second year.
George:Holy shit, we're in the second year, so we're in 24 though. So, okay, yeah, that's all right. It was a 24 goal, so that's okay. Had I not had that goal, I mean, would you be pushing to try and do to get to that? Hey, I just want to have a top 5,000 podcast in Australia. We're there, oh, tick Done. So it lies completely with what you're saying. And the other day you messaged me and you're like hey, I'm like what? Because there's 70 fucking comments on this clip. I haven't talked about that. What are you talking about? I go, what are you talking about? Because I don't watch the YouTube clips.
Robby:70 people are fucking commenting on this clip I freaked and then it's 100 because you get an idiot notification every time I open up my emails and it's just like comment, comment, comment, comment and.
George:I'm like what is the episode when we were talking about Welcome to Country and saying how we disagreed with it and it was rubbish and they had to get rid of it. All that sort of jazz.
Robby:I was surprised at how many people agreed I wasn't. Wow, I wasn't. I was surprised, I was quite surprised.
George:It's funny. It's like you see how many people when you speak to them about I've never met anyone that likes Dan Andrews and supports Dan Andrews. You, I've never met anyone that likes Dan Andrews and supports Dan Andrews. You know what I mean. I'm still yet to find a person Most people. That's why he's leaving, Because he's out of power.
Speaker 3:Who's that Dan used to?
George:be the Premier. He used to be the Premier of Victoria, anyway, but yeah, I think a lot of people feel the same way about that, about Dan Andrews, that and also the Welcome to Country.
Robby:But that's why it was a bit of a Saying what everyone's thinking yeah, exactly right that.
George:But also I think when you talk a little bit of controversial topics, people tend to tune in then too and put their two cents in, because they get very opinionated with those sorts of things. But regardless, regardless, we had to put in the work, we had to do the push-ups. The video's got 3,000, 4,000 views, whatever it might be now, and it's our best clip as in from ratings and comments.
Robby:Yeah, yeah, 100%.
George:Sorry, from views and comments. Yeah, and then we went up, you know, saying over the course of that month we had an extra 50 subscribers on the channel. So all this effort because this podcast takes effort, time, money from both of us everything we're doing will contribute to us becoming a top 10 one day.
Robby:I agree.
George:Yeah, but even though I've got the goal of that being top 10 this year, we haven't achieved it. Yeah, so should I be disappointed?
Robby:No, I think some goals roll on, but you mentioned before that some goals you worked out are not a priority or are no longer a priority oh yeah, that's what I found with some of them for myself, yes well, how do you work that out?
George:uh, I think you just grow and change throughout the year, so it's's like well-. But how do you?
Robby:now know that that goal is no longer it doesn't mean as much to me.
George:I don't know. I think just time tells you that. Does that make sense? Yeah, but I would say, just time tells me that, because at the time I wrote it it did mean a lot Fast forward six months, oh you know what. That doesn't actually mean that much to me anymore.
Robby:Yeah, so how do you know that it doesn't mean as much to you Priorities? Because you're not doing it, or?
George:not working towards it. Not working towards it, maybe, yeah, maybe. I thought, okay, it was really important for me to get a Rolex and it's not, and my priority changed. I said no, I'd rather put on a GM and then a goal. A GM isn't on this list, but it has been Not at the start of the year. I don't think so. Are you looking at the list? I'm looking at a list, but I did refine this list when I did a goal-setting course, but the GM wasn't on that list.
George:Did he do a post? Yeah, but that's not that one. So yeah, looking at that, I was like, okay, well, yeah, I've achieved something else that I wanted to do, and then maybe it's been at the sacrifice of doing something else. I don't know. I think it was a priority, that's all it came down to why I didn't want to do that goal anymore and that's not to say that that might not be on the goal next year for me to get.
Robby:Well, yeah, why would you remove it? That's what I was trying to ask. How do you know when?
George:it's time to remove a goal.
Robby:Yeah.
George:I mean, does it fill your cup, Does it serve your purpose, does it drive you, does it give you fulfillment, like that's probably what I would look at, like why would I okay?
Robby:so Hold on, do all your goals have to be fulfilling.
George:They have to have some level of meaning. Oh fuck Sorry.
Robby:Stiff shoulder. Sorry, ah shoulder. So some level of meaning? Yeah, I think so. Yeah, but what's the point of it? Meaning is not fulfillment. Right, Like it might be, I need to lose weight because otherwise I'm going to die.
George:Yeah, okay, that might not feel good Doing the weight loss thing might not feel good, yeah, but you'll feel good. Once you're 50 kilos lighter, you'll get fulfillment out of being alive for longer.
Robby:Yeah, or like I need to-.
George:Maybe it doesn't for everyone, make it this certain amount I think for me it would be important. It would give me more purpose to want to achieve the goal if it was going to fulfill me in life. So maybe there's a little. I would look at it in the sense well, I want to do it, so it does have a bit more purpose to it. Yeah, otherwise, like, like, why would I want to do it? Why do I need to do it if it's not filling your cup? Do you know what I mean?
Robby:so I look at it from that perspective. Yeah, I guess sometimes the process is not the fulfilling part.
George:Yeah, sometimes it is, you know, enjoying the journey Because, like this journey of the podcasting journey 55, 56 episodes in this has been a great journey. Along the way, this has been sick. Yeah, I've enjoyed every episode, every episode that we've done. Maybe there's a couple that were shit. Maybe there's a couple that were shit. Maybe there's a couple that were shit. There has to be shit episodes, has to be Like. You listened to our very first episode, no, no, I wouldn't say they're shit episodes.
Robby:I'd say they're not as good as the other one.
George:Yeah, that's what it is. Yeah, because then, if it's not, what are you doing?
Robby:Yeah, like that means you had no, because just as there is episodes that are not as good, there are episodes that are way better. Correct.
George:Halloween, correct, I said it to you today when I walked in, you did yeah, I said oh, that episode was sick, the one with you, and can you tell me?
Robby:Starts with F. It does Figgy Figgy. That would be a sick name, by the way, Figgy. You should change it yeah.
George:Um, Fabian, that's the one Good episode I will say to you. I learned something I was learning. I'm like cool, I better write that down. So, yeah, definitely you're going to have that with all aspects of what you're doing in your business and your life.
Robby:But yes, to answer your question from before, do I have goals that I haven't achieved 100% I've got-.
George:Have goals that you have achieved.
Robby:Yes, cool, good. I'm pretty sure I probably should review my goals more.
George:And this is a great opportunity for all of you to do the same, even if it's now. Just listen to this podcast, put it on pause or just think about it as we're talking, have a bit of a think about what did you really want to do at the start of the year and if you haven't done anything about it because that's really prevalent in people's lives Life gets in the way of you actually working on your goal. You might be busy at work, you might be busy looking after the kids, you might be busy stressing about money, whatever it might be, but things get in the way and it's always, as you said before, it's an excuse, and it is. It does come down to it being an excuse for you not doing a goal, and I think there'd be a lot of people who did that whole New Year's resolution, new Year, new Me bullshit.
George:I'm going to stop smoking. I'm going to stop smoking. I'm going to lose weight. I'm going to do all these amazing things. I'm going to go on the holiday. It's going to be about me. I'm going to celebrate my family, I'm going to connect with my friends. I'm going to do whatever it is, and you probably haven't done anything about it. What do you say to those people?
Robby:You've got to be honest with yourself. I think so. You've got to be honest with yourself and work out that's the hard part, I think, accountability.
George:You're having that and that's what I said to my coach the other day. I said why should I have been more progressive on it? And you know, if he was going to be and he was honest he goes. Yeah, look, you could be, absolutely you could be, but you obviously haven't made it your number one. You haven't made it more of a priority over something else. You haven't made it more of a priority over eating pizza with Robbie a few weeks ago. You know, and it was 100% your fault, that I don't have six-pack, that's all it is. You're welcome. How's your pizza thing going? Anyway, Just in a few episodes I've been away.
George:You've done a great opportunity to do it in fucking Western Australia when you were there. Do you reckon they have pizza there? They don't have pizza. They're that racist. They don't like Italians in Western Australia. Dude, I was in Ex-Mouth, yeah, surely?
Robby:somewhere in Ex-Mouth they've got pizza. Yeah, it's not great. And also yeah but you didn't have to say-. Actually I ate pizza while I was there, did you, but didn't review it no, I didn't review it. I actually anyway listen. The point is, when I was in Exfile, I caught a fucking Spanish mackerel and it was off its head, shit. You've probably seen the photo if you follow me on Instagram 1.3 metre fish. Can you put the photo up?
Robby:on YouTube, yeah, I will the photo in just here. Yeah, hold the, hold you look at robbie.
Speaker 3:Yeah, what's that?
Robby:support your photo. Why wouldn't it be? It was so big.
George:That's the portrait um did you get great time? Did you eat it? Of course I ate it. I would have eaten all of it, not let anyone have any. It was a big fish 20 kilo fish.
Robby:That's it. No fucking around, fucking around Give and away and stuff Nice, it was okay. Yeah, I wasn't a big I'm not a big fish eating person human, but it was okay. It was nice. It was okay. I had it in sashimi and fried Fried food's so bad for you. But, yeah, fried fried food's so bad for you. But yeah, the tuna was better. Had the tuna as well, caught a tuna. Did you catch a tuna? Yeah, caught a tuna. That was much better. But yes, the pizza reviews are coming back, but don't use that as an excuse not to not to eat pizza.
George:Not to eat pizza, we're going with Iggy not to eat pizza.
Robby:I have a six pack Iggy's on a carnival diet.
Speaker 3:Oh, you can't eat pizza anymore.
Robby:Yeah, I'm actually not eating it.
George:I'm just recording it.
Robby:You came and recorded me eating pizza today. There's a pizza in your office right now. Why don't you have meat lovers? Because of me.
George:I heard there was pizza in the office Because of me. Yeah.
Robby:Probably not in the office anymore, though Probably everyone's needed it.
George:Simon had a slice before I put the box down. Was it your lunch? Was it your lunch or you just? I just had a slice.
Robby:I just went and had a slice To do a review.
George:There's a new pizza place just open next door.
Robby:Yeah.
George:You said yeah, no, yeah, you can go do that one next After this. Is it open? No, I think so. I think they're opening. Opening. Yeah, used to be the old Domino's. Were you in port back then? No, but speaking of being in port.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, Domino's is gone right, yeah, from next door Three doors down.
George:Yeah, they're gone.
Robby:Speaking of being in port, yesterday I woke up get a call from a weird number. Didn't answer it like nine something. I am yeah, and I was Mobile or landline. It was a landline to my phone, but I was in the middle of something and I was like I don't know who that is.
George:I'm just going to. I do that more often these days. Yeah, I'm just like someone's calling me for a landline. It's probably going to be a telecommunication Mobile numbers. You have mobile numbers, but if I don't have the number of my phone I tend not to answer it. These days.
Robby:And then I get a voicemail and you know how the iPhone actually writes. How good is that, by the way, no. You haven't noticed that how it transcribes the voicemail and you can read the voicemail.
George:Oi, maybe that's only a 16. Thing. Oh yeah, Sorry, yeah oi.
Robby:So, like you can see what they're saying at the start of the voicemail and I realized it was from my agent and they're going to notice the vacay. Oh, fuck off, fucking spewing dude. Yeah, so, speaking of port, I don't know how long I'll be around, for Trainer Might stick around.
George:See how we go. Yeah, what else are you going to do?
Robby:Yeah, I don't know my kind of Queensland. No, I'm not talking that.
George:Catch a mackerel.
Robby:Yeah, that's, western Australia.
George:Doesn't matter, I'm sure they can swim around.
Robby:Got to work out Might be a new goal for 2025.
George:To go to Brisbane.
Robby:I don't know, I can have to find out. So when?
George:do you have to move out?
Robby:Feb.
George:Oh, you've got a bit of time. Got a bit of time, but that's annoying, Annoying. Yeah, so you've only been there a year or so, isn't it? So they're literally vacating after a year. They're selling it.
Robby:They are, so it's like we don't know. Well, they fucking tell me I'll buy it, just don't make me move again. I think they have shifting houses is the worst thing ever it's fucked.
George:I haven't done it for a long time, but uh, can't be arsed just thinking about it. So hey, but you got a ute now I do just chuck everything in the ute. I've got a ute. I'll give you my ute so you can have two utes.
Robby:I'll tell you and drive both of them.
George:I'll put you on my yeah sick, all right so goals for 2025. You want me to tell you.
Robby:Have you said them? No, I haven't thought about it. Me either, I haven't thought about it, but I think it's also a great time to make sure that you don't wait until january yeah, yeah, absolutely.
George:There's a level of yeah, I like that.
Robby:Actually, I'm going to start thinking about it because, I think don't wait until january, I want to achieve for next year yeah, it's like even just plant the seed now, start to think about it.
Robby:It's like, okay, cool, what is 2025 going to consist of? I know I'm going to be moving. That's going to be one of the things I don know. Try to find a place in the same building. That'd be sick. I'll hook it up. Yeah, make a call. I know, pete, I'm George Faye Street, from Melbourne, from Million Dollar Days Million Dollar Days, yeah. So I think you need to plant that seed now and say, okay, cool, you know, this is now. It's mid-November. There's six weeks left in the year. 2025 is right around the corner. What are we doing? Where are we going? What's going to happen? What's going to change? In six weeks, we are going to be halfway through the decade of when COVID started. Covid started at the start of this decade. We're five years in. Think about that. Think about that. Like that's how quick time's fucking going.
George:We were saying the other day it's like it's almost like it never happened. It's almost like it never happened, blink, and it's done, it did. But that's the same with this year, man. This year it's like we're the same as someone. The years seem to go faster as you get older.
Robby:Yeah, we're talking about the-. Why was that, though? Like what was the it's a shorter period of your total life. Yes, yeah, time perception yeah yeah, it's not, actually goes faster, you just see it as faster, yeah, but but yeah, I think you need to take this episode as a. You're listening to this right now. It's November 14th, 15th, 12th, whatever it is on the right now it's a Wednesday. That's all you got to care about, and 2025 is around the corner. What are you going to do? What's going to change? What's the thing you said you'd do this year? That's not done.
George:Yeah, you've got six weeks to really start and thinking. Spend Monday morning before get to work half an hour earlier. Here's a question and have a think about it and just write some shit down Every Monday morning half an hour. Write some shit down and then, by the time 25 comes along it doesn't have to be New Year's Day, by the way. Okay, it could be the 5th, it could be the 10th, it could be January. Just have something ready at some stage where you go. Okay, these are the 3, 6, 12 things I want to put on for the year.
Robby:Here's a question. I've got a goal I haven't achieved at all, kind of like your goal that you said right. Do you want to share it? No, okay, but if it's not a priority, why do you keep questioning the six-pack thing? Is it what I want? Yeah, because the whole thing of if it mattered to you, prioritize it, blah, blah, blah, and it's like if it doesn't matter, why do you keep thinking about it? Because I'm in the same position. I've got goals that I think about that I don't prioritize at all. It always gets pushed to the back of the list and it's like well, why do I keep writing this fucking shit down if I'm not doing anything about it?
Robby:Do you know what I mean. And it's like why do I keep writing this down, like it? Obviously, I obviously care about it to some degree. For me to fucking think about it. You know what I mean. To to to be willing to list this down. Yeah, I'm like goals list, to to write it down, and maybe you've written it down for a year, maybe you've written it down for five years, but you constantly write it down and then maybe it's something you think about as well. You know what I mean. Do you think about the whole six pack thing? You jump out of the shower and sit there Sometimes, sometimes, huh, sometimes you do. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. So you obviously think about it. Yeah, so if you think about it so much, why is it not more of a priority Comfort?
George:It's not affecting your life negatively. Is it Like for me? I could go on not having a six-pack for the rest of my life and be totally fine, could I? I could go and be totally fine. Yeah, if someone, if I walked past the strain, if I, if there was a person sitting on a bench and they said every time a fat person walks past you have to put a tick in this box. If I walked past them, I don't think they put a tick in the box yeah, I agree, okay, so.
Robby:so the goal is not a six pack, it's being not fat. Well, this is what I mean.
George:But that's comfort. That's me buying into comfort there. I'm just trying to break down what you're saying, Like let's think about why you keep putting it down. It's something you want. Why aren't you doing it?
Robby:Because you still think about it. Yeah, it, because you still think about it. Yeah, you've thought about it enough to question it. It's not like you went back to your thing and you think, fuck, I forgot about this, because then it's like, well, you don't care, that's right, that's right. But you've mentioned it several times.
George:That's right.
Robby:So it's like why, if it matters enough for you to think about it, why does it not matter enough for you?
George:to make? Is it, is it the yeah, is it the motivation?
Speaker 3:I got one thing about that. Uh, do you guys know the youtuber called ali abdal? Yeah, so he was talking about this concept, about, uh, why do you want to get rich? And people would answer to be like financially free to play video games. Be free, whatever it is. But the problem that we face is that we can actually do that everything now.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's already too easy to do, so the concept is that is the goal to becoming rich. Like to play video games all day. You can do it. Right now I'm going to do a training. It's funny you mentioned that.
George:I'm going to do a training around that as well. Funny enough, I'm gonna actually one of the things that I think this is the original thing. Well, maybe I heard it somewhere subconsciously, and but I was gonna do a similar thing with some people. I'm gonna mentor and say well, you know what would make you happy if you had this, what would make you happy if you did this, what would make you happy if you did this, and then they'll list all their things. Okay, cool, go cool. Look at all those things Like do that. You just said that that's going to make you happy, do it. Why are you waiting before you hit $10 million before you do that thing? Sometimes, yeah, I get it. Okay, some things might have a price tag associated with them potentially, but a lot of the stuff you can generally do. It may not be to that scale, but you can generally do almost everything on those lists.
Speaker 3:Coming back to that, but is it the matter of?
George:We're talking about, say, money, right, yeah, by this time next year, you need to have $5 million in bank account. All right, that's it. That's my only comment here. Okay, do you want to have five million dollars in bank account? All right, that's it. That's all. That's my only comment. Yeah, all right, okay, do you want to do it? Yeah, I'm gonna do it, I can. All right, if you get to this time next year and you don't have five million dollars, like, hey man, 2025, mid-november, have you done it? Uh, no, no, that's all right, anyway, what are we talking about today? Cool, yeah, this time next year, million dollars, or you lose both legs. Yeah, same motivation, that's right.
George:So what's the motivation? What's the driving force behind that? Do you? Is it? Is that what you need? Is that? Do you need to put something on there that? Let me so fucking know. You do it or you die like okay. Would it be a better motivation if I took a photo with my shirt off and said this is what I look like today, on the 15th of november. This is what I'm going to look like in three weeks, in three months time. Watch this space. Do it, yeah, but is that the level though?
George:um is that the level, like as in is that the? Is that the accountability thing? Hey, I'm just told the world.
Robby:Okay, but hold on, that's not. It's not about I don't think it's the accountability thing, I think it's more so the why do you keep thinking about it? Then, Like, are you lying to yourself? No, I'm not. I'm talking to myself here. I'm talking to myself here. No, no, it's cool. But it's like, why do you keep mentioning that thing?
George:Yeah.
Robby:Why do you keep referring back to the same thing in your life? That's the same. You sound like a broken record. This is me again. No, I can relate, and I'm sure many people can too. It's like why is that thing keep making the list and you do nothing about it?
George:you can even say with smoking, is that for a lot of people? Yeah, so many people smoke that don't want to smoke. It's expensive, it's frowned upon these days.
Robby:You reckon they don't want to smoke.
George:I think a lot of people that smoke don't want to smoke, don't want to smoke. Yeah, dude, you reckon I think so, I think so, I think a lot of them would not want to have you ever smoked Never.
Robby:Okay, I have. And the second I didn't want to smoke anymore. I have not smoked it. Yeah, I like smoking?
Speaker 3:You do. I've smoked for like six years. Do you have a pack of cigarettes on you now? No, I haven't smoked in a year or so, two years, three years. Yeah, I haven't smoked in a year or so two years, two years?
Robby:Yeah, that's disgusting you are. I love cigarettes. Seriously, do you really?
Speaker 3:You love cigarettes? Yeah, but I don't smoke, why? So I had a body exam a couple of years ago. The doctor said my stomach isn't that well and yeah, she said like stop smoking. And I stopped. And that's why I just don't smoke, because of your stomach yeah, but it's all right now, but I just, if I'm quitting, then I'm just gonna quit so anyway, let's just assume that that's the case.
George:But a lot of them keep smoking. A lot of them keep smoking but they go. I'll quit next year, I'll they go, I'll quit next year, I'll quit next year, I'll quit next year, I'll quit next month, but they keep going. It's the addiction. Is it a level of addiction to not getting that thing? Is it the comfort that you're not getting that thing, is it? I suppose you have to find well, what's okay? The question I would ask is why are you not pursuing it?
Robby:I could ask you the same thing about zigzag.
George:Yeah, that's right. Why are you not pursuing it? Oh, I am pursuing it now. Are you though? Yeah, yeah, I would say yes. Yes, I am More so than I have been any in the last previously. To the last 12 months. Yes, more than the last 10 years, not 10.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
George:I'm going to say, since I've been married, I haven't pursued it previously, before I started working out. So, yes, am I pursuing it? Yeah, will I get it? Well, intent is to have it in the next three months to go to Gold Coast in that space. But what has it been? Why previously? To that, why wasn't it? Is it too hard? Like, ah, it's for other people, ah, I love Tim Tams too much.
Robby:Yeah.
George:Yeah, I keep that.
Robby:Look, for me that was always a big thing, yeah, but you always thought about it still.
George:Yes, but I always prioritise work. Again, probably another excuse, but I would go. No, no, I'd rather go and get an extra hour of work in than go to the gym. Do you know? The funny thing is because I train sometimes during business hours. A lot of the time I'll train in the morning before work, but there's times, like today, I trained at 8.15. So I took an hour out of work to go and train. I have done more this year. I've done more in the last 12 months than I've ever done in business and I've taken at least three to four hours out of my work week to train. But yet I've still managed to do more than I've ever done in the past. So why is that? I've been more efficient with my time, more efficient, like I've made it work, yeah higher energy, found a way to get more done.
Robby:That's right. Less time Made it work, and I think that's something you constantly get better at. I agree. The productivity per unit of time, or whatever that's called Output per unit of time, yes.
George:That's right. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Robby:But yeah, I guess it's, something for-.
George:So with your item? Okay, your item now. Why do you think it's always on your list?
Robby:Because I think it matters to me.
George:You think so my employees you me and they say that I think this is a problem. I don't want you to think. I want you to know why is it a problem.
Robby:Your question was why do you think?
George:Yeah. Why do you think oh is it? Did I say, think Okay, why is it a problem? Why are you not achieving it?
Robby:I don't know, because I don't prioritize it Okay.
George:So why aren't you prioritizing it? What goes in front? Anything else? Is anything else more important than that?
Speaker 3:So you can't answer that Today.
Robby:Today Is anything else more important than that, so you can't answer that.
George:Today. Is anything else more important than that today? Yes, is anything else more important than that next week?
Robby:These questions are hard to answer.
George:So, is anything else more important? But no, you just answer it yes or no for yourself, just yes or no. You don't have to answer even though I don't know so, is anything else more? But no, you just answer it yes or no for yourself, just yes, no, you don't have to always something? Yes, is, it is. It is anything else more important than that in one year?
Robby:yes, is anything else I?
George:think there'll always be five years. In 10 years, at what point will you go fuck 50 years, like 20 years? If I don't have that, I'm fucked. Do you know what I mean? Like I've failed, that's an f. At what point? So if it's five years, have you just given yourself five years not to be doing this thing for another thing? And you go, oh, and then would you sit back and go. You know what do I want to be in that space in five years time, not having achieved that goal, and that's what it was. A motivating factor for me to get fitter was no, no, like I'm keep a time frame on it, yeah, but also I keep telling people be high performers on this podcast. Like I'm here giving people advice. We are here giving people advice. We're here telling you how to have million dollar days. We're here telling you how to be better at life, how to do this, how to do this. How can I do that if I'm a fat fuck?
George:there's a level of incongruency and that's exactly how I felt. That's exactly how I felt doing that and saying those things. And then, on top of that, I'm like hang on, dude, you wear a wristband that says unstoppable bullshit. I'm pretty sure a bodybuilder will stop you right in your tracks, right? Or I'm pretty sure a guy that's killing it in health will stop you in your tracks. You are not unstoppable, and that, for me, was a motivating factor to do it. So I reckon there's got to be something that triggers you to a degree where you're like no, no, fuck this. Maybe it's a matter of you going like I did, in that sense where I said, fuck it, if I have to take an hour out of my work week to go and exercise, then I'm going to do it and, as a result of me doing that, I'm actually better at work. Would you achieving this goal make you?
Robby:better in other elements of your life. I think achieving any goals contributes to your life.
Speaker 3:I didn't ask you that question.
Robby:So, yeah, the answer is yes. Yeah, because I think it will, for anything I'm going to have.
Speaker 3:So I got something about that. I think wearing a Rolex would help you.
Robby:Sorry, I think wearing a Rolex would make like it would. It's like getting a new car elevates you, yeah, jumping the car you achieve, and now you're worse if. If you do, will it help recheck your fucking goals? Okay?
Speaker 3:so I probably know what robbie's goal is I'm not gonna say it so there is this thing in psychology about stress.
Speaker 3:Uh, you can call stress in two different types. It's eustress and de-stress. So what eustress and de-stress? Yeah, de-stress. De-stress is like the negative shit that happens when stressing out. So stress is mostly your cells working overtime. That is stress. So what I'm trying to say is that like, uh, for example, for a school boy getting an assignment or homework and he has a deadline, an assignment to do, but if he doesn't do it and just thinks about it, it creates stress. But the moment he finished this assignment the stress is relieved. But if he doesn't do it and just keeps it, thinking about it, thinking about it, it creates the distress.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so once you just keep it happening over and over and over again, it's something that becomes almost like a trauma that will like stick in your like cells and it becomes a problem and it can go into like other like health issues, like insomnia or whatever it is. It's the same thing that happened to my mother. She had like the highest level of insomnia. She couldn't sleep for two years because she was just stressing what. She couldn't sleep for two years that's why, like, my mom and dad got divorced and everything like shit happened in my family. So like stress. So the thing, the even though you say it's a goal, but it's not a goal for you, it's more of a necessity. You have a deadline and you have to achieve it before that, but you're not doing anything about it and you're just creating more stress and stress and stress, and the longer it takes, the harder it is for it to get relieved yeah, I think most things in life work like that.
Robby:Like, even if you don't go to the gym for 10 years, it becomes very difficult to build that habit yeah, but it's different.
Speaker 3:I I wanted to talk about this small story about my mother, how she actually got healed out of that insomnia. So everybody left from my home, from, like her house, like I went to the military. My brother went to jail, the other brother went somewhere else, that Dad went over somewhere else and the younger brother, he, was left at home with my mother. They almost didn't have any income, so it was almost zero and they couldn't afford much of it. I was in the military, like fuck all, just getting beat up or whatever was happening over there just getting beat up or whatever's happening over there.
Speaker 3:And one day she just thought about the idea of looking at one of my brother's socks. It had a hole on it and she thought, like I think I have to like sue it because we don't have anything else. And she just sued it. In 30 minutes she slept like a baby. In 30 minutes she slept like a baby. So what happened is that all that stress. By the end of it she didn't know how to relieve the stress, do the task. But when she was given a very small task the sue that sock she did it and her brain clicked back in to oh, stress isn't the problem. It's just that when you think about it too much and you just keep it going on, it becomes the problem and the brain clicked back in and she started sleeping yeah.
George:So maybe the fact that it's ongoing and it's always just bugging you that it's not complete and that's why you keep putting it on the list, you know, and then maybe you'll get some fulfillment once you put it on, get it off the list, okay, cool, I've done that. I can achieve it can move on yeah, and some take baby steps, not the bigger thing. That's right. That's right. Maybe you can chip away at the goal and do it in sections make it very small. I've tried that Doesn't work. I'll say cause, maybe good.
George:I know Big biceps first and then go to the, get a good chest, get a good legs, get good legs and then go to the stomach. I don't know. Try it that way.
Robby:We'll see how we go in 2025. I'll keep you guys posted.
George:I think, I think a goal that could have and our listeners, something that everyone should list, something that should be on everyone's goal, on everyone's list for 2025.
