The “Move Faster” Mindset

We all have areas where we need to move faster in life.

Maybe you’re like me 6 years ago, and you need to move faster to find love.

Or perhaps you need to move faster and fix your team — letting go of B-players… and finding the right A-players to upgrade your bench.

Or maybe you need to finally...

- Create that course

- Lose that weight

- Write that book

- Attend / Host that event

- Film that video

We all get stuck on things from time to time.

But humans are funny when it comes to moving faster....

We all know (generally) what we need to do to succeed.

The problem is not information.

The problem is lack of action.

The comfort zone of “I’m doing ok” consciously or subconsciously holds us back.

Or the idea of future uncertainty keeps us stuck with the devil we know.

But the truth is…

No matter how comfortable you are today, you could lose it all tomorrow.

Memento Mori.

It's our job as high performers to internalize this reality so that we move faster.

For example, when it comes to your financial situation...

The old saying, "Money isn't everything," might be enough to put on the brakes around your big idea... or stop you from making big changes in your life.

However, I can tell you this...

You can NEVER have too much money.

Money is a tool for lifestyle and freedom.

Money is what allowed my friend Frank to pay 50,000 euros to fly his father to safety (and a better hospital) after suffering a serious injury while traveling in Europe.

Imagine if you needed to fly a family member across the country for emergency medical surgery…

You could "do your best with Delta"...

OR...

You could fly them private for 20X the prize.

These types of Code-Red situations will arise in your life, and...

You’ll likely need more money than you can imagine to deal with them.

Now here’s the problem...

Most people "get it"... they understand “bad things can happen”...

But they never internalize it and make it “real enough” for them to move faster or take action

However, the high performer does. And that’s YOU.

We must take speed of action seriously.

That’s why I always say…

Success Loves Speed and Delay Kills Dreams.

Now I don't know what your particular situation is...

Or where you are moving too slow in life...

But I can tell you this:

Someone else out there has done what you need to do — and done it 10X's faster than you are doing it now.

Moving faster IS 100% possible.

But to accomplish a faster pace, you need “pace setters.”

You need to be around more people who are moving 3X-10X faster than you.

That’s what I’ve provided for clients like Chris Larsen, Zander Fryer, Vince Delmonte, Isabel Price, Frank Den Blanken, Sam D’Amours, and countless others.

This instills urgency in your life.

In addition to that (and in case you find it difficult to find those pace setters right now)...

You need to have Fast-Moving Voices in your mind at all times.

For me, these would be in the form of audio books playing at all waking hours, such as:

1. Relentless – by Tim Grover

2. ManUp – by Bedros Keuilian

3. Unstoppable – by Craig Ballantyne

4. Winning – by Tim Grover

5. Can't Hurt Me – by David Goggins

(Also, books by Jamie Lima and Jen Sincero for the female voice.)

Bottom Line:

You can — and MUST — be moving at a higher gear.

Do whatever it takes to make that upshift. And don’t look back.

I promise you'll be glad you did.

Success Loves Speed,

Craig
