[MM]: Learn this from the person you hate
Happy Monday Mindset!
Years ago, I listened to a podcast episode by Tim Ferris who is a New York Times Best Selling Author and renowned “Bio Hacker”.
He went on to say that one of the biggest breakthroughs in his life was when he made the active decision to re-frame his anger toward the people that “he hated” by asking himself this question..
“What can I learn from this person?”
Now why would he do this?
Tim believed it creates a liberating mental experience and a source of value from his enemies.
My take?
He is right!
That podcast episode changed my life as I have applied it many times through hard situations.
As a result, I’ve won and want you too. 🙂
A recent example is from 2 weeks ago during my keynote talk to my 525+ Franchise Partners and coaches within the Fit Body brand at our World Conference.
The story of my talk?
The infamous Coach Jim Harbough and the University of Michigan Wolverines winning the 2024 National Championship in college football.
You see, being a Michigan State grad, University of Michigan is my rival.
As you would imagine, it was tough seeing them win a national championship in January of this year.
I don’t like Jim Harbough and wasn’t happy!
The kicker?
I took a step back and studied Jim’s 10 year career as head coach for the University of Michigan.
It led me to uncovering 3 principles on how he led his football program which I’ve now applied to my leadership at Fit Body Boot Camp.
I then went on stage in front of 525+ people and shared insights from their winning seasons and the lessons I learned from the experience.
Most importantly, how the lessons will benefit you, our team, coaches and community.
The result?
My owners and coaches and I just got better from an experience that “I despised”.
The best part?
I feel amazing about it while adding value to my brand!
My message for you today?
The reality is that in life you are going to LOVE a lot of people.
I hope most people for that matter!
However, there’s some that you won’t vibe with, or even worse, you will despise.
This is just life my friend.
Instead of getting angry, frustrated and filled with negative energy stewing on someone who’s crossed you.
Create a mental re-frame and ask yourself this:
“What is 1 thing I can learn from this person?”
Then apply the lesson to your life.
Life changer!
Have a great week!
