Timestamps:

1. Arambhashura - Develop endurance to go through the ups and downs of every process/journey you begin - 1:09
2. Newton + Mo - A first step gets you in motion; created momentum. Small actions will keep you moving towards your goal - 3:27
3. Ripples - Avoid Indecision. Analysis paralysis: take action! Feedback will tell you whether you have to adjust. Iterate - 4:52
4. Gradualism - Small, incremental steps - with time - will take you effectively to your target. Compound effect - 7:18
5. Controllable - Focus ONLY on what you have control over, i.e. behavior: effort, reactions, etc - 10:02

10:47 to 11:23 was great to hear. I had an interview for what I'd call a dream job recently and I made it to the final interview round with over 100 applicants and didn't get it. I've got to just keep taking action!

Here's the summary of the video I learned:

1.Embrace the 'plateau' and 'keep going' when the things get ordinary/boring. The plateau will end and you will Rise.
2. First step is the most important. Once taken, The rest is easy/effortless.
3. Don't overthink. Get comfortable with being uncertain and Take action.
4. Doing small things 'consistently' over a long period of time bears GREAT results.
5. You can't control the result, But you can control your Actions. Controlled Actions lead to controlled Results.

Thank you for sharing this Great insight. :)

Hi Brian, really love your videos and will share with our audience. Only thing we'd challenge on is that we believe you can control your feelings and thoughts. Whilst most people don't have the ability to it, that's very different from it not being possible.

There will of course be times when one gets angry but then having the ability to shift ones state is something that takes practice. We all do it with things like music, cigarettes, alcohol, pictures of family, etc but it is just being able to do it without needing those external things to shift an internal phenomenon.

That's our belief and what we see when working with Execs and Olympic athletes. Would be fascinated to hear your wisdom.

I've bypassed your oldies to watch this video and wow, you've definitely gone up another plateau from 6 months ago. Keep up the good work Brian!

[carlosgarcia]

[AngelaSams]

Thank you! I really loved this. The biggest realization I had from this was that my feelings are not controllable. I've been irritated with myself because of hurtful things people say to me causing me to be upset. This changes everything. Thank you so much!

[madnessbros]

Congratulations man. It's noticeable that you love doing this videos and I can say for myself that I love watching them. Thank you so much for doing this and providing so much fabulous content. Wish you the best luck. You deserve it

Effort and Behaviour are within my control. My feelings and thoughts are not. So my focus is on taking action every day diligently and with persistence.

[leogarswah]

This usually happened to me when ever I tried having conversations with people I don’t know, I always come down with fear. But I learned that action cures fear👍 thanks a lot!

The plateaus one experiences during personal development directly parallel the temperature plateaus as ice melts into water and then boils into steam. I call it the "phase-change model" of growth, and it's just one more beautiful example of the old wisdom of Francis Bacon: "Nature, to be commanded, must be obeyed."

[chimenejemisi-m]

Thank you Brian. Kaizen is great way to keep me going. So much appreciations.

[jeffries]

something that the odd book never told me was to honour the plateu, thank you for posting this video..After just 3 minutes of it i get what has been going on...years of misunderstanding growth...i started to believe the plateu was the sign i didnt really want it, the cycle reiterated itself over and over ...

[izebelle]

*Brian Johnson* your videos make my day, everyday. Thank you for sharing your work.

I'm from most populated and diverse culture country in the world "INDIA". you are good at Sanskrit language. 🙂
I subscribed your YouTube channel when you had 95000 subscriber. I like your channel and I watch youtube your videos everytime. I saved my time from reading books, because you provide the exact knowledge what is written in that book.

Arambashura - a hero in the beginning vs in the end. The moment excitement wanes you tiptoe out the back door.  Honor the plateau. Life is a series of peaks and valleys, not an unending series of orgasmic bliss.

Be a hero in the end.

The plateau is going to come, not if but when...get ready for it.

Issac Newton and Mr. Mo (mentum) are best friends.
An object at rest tends to stay at rest while and object in motion tends to stay in motion.
Take a little bit of

Ripples - We don't have control over what we think but we do have control over what we do. Demons of inaction. There is no such thing as a right answer. Life responds to us when we take action. Do a little thing in the face of indecision.

Gradualism - Kaizen -Compound Effect - The Slight Edge
CANEI - Constant And Never Ending Improvement
(Tiny little things done consistently over enough time lead to huge results)

What's Controllable? 
Feelings and thoughts are not without our control.
Behaviors are within our control.


Thanks Brian
Keep Pushing
