Hey, hey, this is Terry Brookhart welcoming you back to the MLM Hero Radio. Now I was editing my last episode a little bit and I know I went over the core concepts of Are you a success on B and how to avoid that and whatnot.

But it got me thinking about list making in general and the whole concept of the powerless that I touched on previously. And I wanted to expand upon that a little bit more. So first, forgive me, I'm asking for forgiveness first because this episode is a little bit nerdy in terms of things that I'm going to talk about. But the content is there and the content is huge. So bear with me throughout it and really enjoy.

If you're anything like me, then you know that MLM can be amazing business opportunities. But the major issue is what do you do if you don't want a bug family or friends, and how do we recruit the best players into your downline. This podcast answers those and other grilling questions about moms, as I've learned. My name's Terry Burkhart. Welcome to the MLM Hero Radio.

OK, before I dive right in to list making, I want to clarify the concept of this making.

And what I mean, it's not a to do list that creates success. Yes, you can write in goals and journals and daily blogs and things of that nature and visualize your success, which is great. And a lot of gurus and a lot of successful people have done that and they formed amazing habits while doing it.

But I want to be very specific on what I mean by a power list. So humans tend to focus on a very finite number of tasks today, and then they'll give their energy to other things because we're distracted day to day by social media, our pets, our kids, our family, our spouse.

There's so much in the world that gives us distractions and it takes us away from our focus. And if our focus is to build something for and you don't have a road map, then you're not going to create much success, you're going to be spinning your wheels.

You're going to be a success zombie by just reading, book after book or listen to a podcast and not really do anything with it. So were the powerless comes into play is not that you are creating another To-Do list of, Oh, I need to write a daily blog post or I need to take out the trash, or I need to take the kids to school or packed lunch. It's not a to do list. A power list is meant to give you a very clear roadmap to create successful habits throughout the next less than 90 days.

So for me, and what I do is I select three things and I've done this in the past and it every time I have committed to the power list, I have created more success in my life. I've been happier, I've done more, I've been more productive and I know this.

This has worked for several other people and it's something that I want to offer because it's something that if it brings goodness into my life, I know that it can bring goodness into yours. So the overall idea of a power list is creating or selecting three things that you want to form habits of.

For me, I chose read ten pages of a book a day. Start exercising before 9:00 a.m. and call one family member or good friend. And the purpose of the first three were to get me into the habit of reading and absorbing.

Good content, whether it's on business marketing or just personal development, the habit of reading just made my mind work faster and help me focus on the goals that I actually wanted to achieve. As for exercising before 9:00 a.m., that's just a good head it for me, in my opinion, to do.

I think that those that exercise tend to have generally more excess. I'm not saying you have to be a gym junkie, but going for a walk or doing some sort of aerobic exercise for ten to 15 minutes a day.

Just there have been so many studies shown that even moderate amount of exercise going for a walk helps your brain function properly helps your body. It just it puts you in a good mood. And why do we want success so that we have freedom?

And if we have freedom, we should enjoy it? So I believe the exercise goes hand-in-hand with success. As for calling one family member or friend, I mean, I myself, I felt and felt guilty of not calling the people that are closest to me.

There have been months that would go by that I wouldn't even call people that I grew up with or even my siblings. I mean, I would text them every so often know, sometimes daily, sometimes not. But for me, I felt disconnected, so I forced myself to create a good habit of just having a two minute conversation, just calling one person a day. And I can't tell you how invigorating it felt that at the end of the week that I just I all I did was call seven people, but I felt more connected with the people that are closest to me just by reaching out and saying hi and forming that habit has made me

feel more motivated to pursue my level of success. Now you can have anything that you want in terms of a power list. But I would strongly recommend that you keep it at three things a day if you do any more than three things you will.

In my opinion, and I fell victim to this as well. You get a sense of overwhelm. It becomes more of I need to accomplish this task by X time. Now that said, if you can do more, do more and that's truly OK.

But the purpose of the powerless is not a to do list, like I said, is to create habits. So let's say maybe you want to say wake up at your first alarm. So I, like many people, have a bad habit of always hitting the snooze button.

So what do I do? I hit the snooze button at 6:30 6:40 57 7:30. I get up at 8:00 sometimes and then I feel guilty because and honestly, I feel tired because I had like an hour, hour and a half of just keep hitting the snooze button.

So it didn't even get restful sleep at the time. So I made it a habit that I would wake up and commit to that very first alarm. So the moment my phone got up or went off, rather, I would roll my feet out of the bed, stand up and force my body to be awake.

It sucked. It was not a fun thing to do, especially if you've never done this before. But pushing through that discomfort is one of the biggest things that you can do, and it's really motivating. As soon as you start forming a habit of it, let's say you want to wake up at 7:00 a.m. as soon as that alarm buzzes, you roll out of bed. And after a week or two of waking up at 7:00 a.m. every single day, you're going to be able to get more accomplished in the morning and ultimately have more time for yourself throughout the day.

And again, you can finish the powerless in ten minutes. If that's if those are the items that are on your power list and it's entirely up to you. But again, I want to focus on the fact that these are supposed to be habits.

Now, after 30 days, if you've been waking up at 7:00 a.m., you can take that off your power list and put something else on to help you grow another positive habit in your life. Now let's tie this into MLM, because you know it is an MLM podcast.

If I want to build funnels or I want to create noise in the marketplace, create a launch plan and I want to create a habit. I would watch 20 minutes of a video tutorial every single day. I'd put that on my powerless to make sure that I accomplish that.

So that way, when I'm publishing and publishing like this in a podcast or on YouTube or on a blog post, if I'm doing this on a day to day again after 30 days, one is a habit. I can take that off, put something else on and create content and always push people towards a direction that I want

them to go and. This case, it's supposed to be purely educational things that help people, so I keep publishing. And one thing that's on my powerless now is to write out a podcast episode every single day. So that way, over the next 30 days, I have at least 30 episodes already taken care of, and I can drip

them out over a year, over six months, over three months. It's as long as I accomplish them and have them finished, then that's it. That's this. That's the road to success. Creating a game plan of habits that are going to push me in the direction that I want to go is the power list.

And the moment you start creating these habits and hard writing them down. And I would say, get a journal, a book, a notepad, sticky notes. I don't recommend typing it up. There's just something about handwriting down your list and seeing it is just so powerful.

Now that said, winning the week, day, month year. If you win and you accomplish every single item on your power list, all three of them, you win the day. That's it. And you can do whatever. If you win seven days in a row, you win the week and then it goes on and so on and so forth

until you basically win at life. If you don't accomplish one of those things that you write in your power lest you lose the day. It is what it is. We're adults. We have total control over our success. So if we lose something, if we don't do something on the day, we lose that day, it is what it is. But we can win the next day. And then when you start winning day after day after day and you see a bunch of W's in your journal that that just motivates you and pushes you even further. I know it did for me, and I know that this would definitely help you guys.

I really hope that made sense because. This is really about forming good habits, no matter what point in life you're at, whether you're just starting out in your entrepreneurial journey, whether you're ten years down the road. This is just something that you can keep in your toolkit that will just help you progress further.

It's kind of that next step, or it could be your very first step. Either way, the powerless is a very powerful tool pun intended for really all people, especially in the MLM space, especially in the MLM space anyway.

Definitely leave a comment or review specifically for this episode because I want to hear exactly what you guys actually do to create positive habits in your life. Because I mean, if I do two or three things and you do two or three things and they're totally different, we can help each other grow as a community, just like the Facebook group that I have for the MLM Hero radio. It's all about creating a community and growing together, but the comments in the other reviews were specifically for this episode is going to be like a huge Segway into that.

Anyway, sorry for the rant I told you it was going to be nerdy. I will warn you, but I really hope you guys enjoy this one. I am just signing off now and I will see you guys in the next episode.
