| How to Use the Operator Mindset to Eradicate Your B.S. Beliefs and Transform Your Identity
In 2007 I filmed my first set of YouTube videos. They’ve been watched over 500,000 times each (and one has been watched 2 million times!).
And every one of those viewers probably thought I was a boring, monotone robot. The way I presented in those videos made Eeyore the Donkey look like bubbly party animal. In those videos I was the quintessential “Low Energy” guy, the type they parody in Snickers commercial. But that wasn’t who I wanted to be. I had labeled myself as “Introvert” for so long that I subconsciously began to adopt the behaviors and habits of a low-energy introvert. I knew I had to make a change, I just didn’t know how. So in 2009, I set out on a mission to overcome my introversion. I turned to the most inspirational people in the world. Individuals like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Oprah Winfrey, Tim Grover, and Marcus Luttrell became my new mentors. I realized that if they could do what they did despite what they’d been through… I could evolve too. I realized that my introversion was no more a legitimate excuse for my lack of results than “bad genetics” is a valid excuse for an overweight person who consumes a mountain of Big Macs and sea of Dr. Pepper’s on a weekly basis. It was my decision to think and act like an introvert and it was my decision to make a change. Little by little, step by step, day by day, I started to take new action and develop new habits that challenged my identity as a low energy introvert. I committed to becoming the person I needed to be to accomplish the mission I’d set for myself no matter what. And guess what? It worked. I’ve learned that being an Operator means that you do what you need to do even especially when it’s hard. It’s not easy for me to bring the high levels of energy to my interactions, talk to strangers, network, and act like an extrovert. But, just like waking up at 4 a.m. everyday, I do it anyways because that’s what must be done to succeed. In today’s essay, I’m going to show you the exact process and mindset I used to overcome my self-labeled introversion and build an exceptional life. A process that you can use today regardless of what’s holding you back. I’m going to show – once and for all – how to eradicate your limiting beliefs, develop an operator mindset, and do what needs to be done on time every time. To Your Success,
