As usual we start off the podcast by all bringing some motivational quotes from real life individuals who are at an elite level. This week we have quotes from MMA champions like Conor McGregor to former presidents like Roosevelt!
We dive into the conversation by first outlining what the two are!
Confidence is defined as: a feeling of trust in one’s abilities, qualities, and judgement.
Cockiness is defined as: conceited or arrogant, especially in a bold or disrespectful way.
This week the guys on the Brofessional Development Podcast talk about Confidence over Cockiness. They start out by dropping some quotes from some of the greats that show confidence in their lives from Roosevelt to McGregor! Dive in and outline what exactly CONFIDENCE is and how it is different than COCKINESS and what is important for success in life and business between the two.
So although they seem similar the clear difference seems to be the arrogance of an individual. Which brings up a discussion in the group of when is being cocky crossing the line? We talk about some of the greats and their systems in which they seem to come off as cocky. Yet they back it up!
Dan and Matt discuss a great strategy from Jay Shetty on 7 ways to stand out with Confidence which you can check out HERE!
The key takeaway that the team agreed upon from Jay Shetty was being self aware! Admit your weaknesses and try and develop those areas. Hiding them or shielding them from yourself is just killing your confidence and not building it up!
In the midst of the conversation we discuss one of the all time great self development experts Ed Mylett and his strategies for moving that needle in the right direction to gain confidence.
To end the episode of what seems to be filled with content from great influencers Matt covers the Influencer of the Week on Tim Ferris who has influenced a large portion of the world along with Matt himself with a strategy to start his business.
We end with Bobby giving us Just the Tip of the week on some healthy eating strategies!
This week the guys from Brofessional Development cover Belief!
The discussion revolves around having belief in yourself and if it is real or just woo woo. We cover why it is important to have belief and how to transition from not believing in yourself to gaining that belief! This weeks influencer of the week is also Lewis Howes and we also have our tip of the week on “mindfulness” this week!
This week the guys cover “Belief” Belief Potential Action Results Most people have a fixed belief of how much potential they have Most people BELIEVE they have very little POTENTIAL When you BELIEVE you have very little POTENTIAL, how much ACTION do you take?
“Every man is what he is because of the dominating thoughts he permits to occupy his mind” – Napolean Hill
“Your reality is a reflection of your strongest beliefs”
Growth Mindset = People believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work
Fixed Mindset = people believe their basic abilities are already set (i.e. I’m terrible with money, I can’t get into shape I have terrible genes, or people who think they can’t make money)
YOUR MIND HAS A BIGGER EFFECT ON YOUR PERFORMANCE THAN ANYTHING
Napolean Hill calls Faith (what we take as belief) a state of mind that can be induced by affirmation or repeated instructions of the subconscious mind.
Emily Coue – basically the OG of positive psychology for self development
a form of self-hypnosis where you visualize your goal and then back it by the emotions and repetition
it allows you to break through to your own subconscious mind to form that belief
Conscious mind acts as a defender to all of the different stimulations in the world
Average person is exposed to 5,000 ads per day
Our conscious mind blocks out 99.9% of those
IT CAN BE USED FOR GOOD OR BAD
When Rodger Bannister became the first person ever to run a 4-minute mile, within two years 37 other people did it, when nobody in history had ever done it.
There was a study done by criminologists on how people could do something that they knew was inherently wrong. They found that when these people first come into contact with crime, they don’t approve. Then when they’re in it a bit longer, they get to the point where they tolerate it, and after a while they finally embrace it and become influenced by it.

With 2021 less than a week away, it’s safe to say most people are fucking PUMPED to leave 2020 in the rear-view mirror. Between The Rona, the job market, no sports, no social gatherings, no seeing grandparents, etc. who wouldn’t be excited about a year where things can only go up? That said, this is the time most start to plan out their goals in hopes of big changes to come. While planning is definitely important and can save you a ton of time and energy, one of the biggest things I’ve learned is that a lot of people (myself included) can take too much time planning and not enough time doing.
Planning can be fun for people. It’s where you start to paint the picture of your vision. It’s where you look at where your life is, where you want it to go, and you get to fill in the gaps that will help you get there. But too many people fall into this perpetual cycle of planning, where they plan, review the plan, restructure the plan when the find holes, and then audit again to find holes, and round and round they go while they neglect the single most important step that will get them to their goals – ACTION. I’ve been there!
Unfortunately, a lot of this has to do with what formal education teaches us. We’re looking for that “A+ Plan” so that if my plan is perfect, I can avoid any discomfort or embarrassment. News Flash: As soon as you start to implement your plan it’s going to get punched in the fucking mouth no matter what line of work you are in.
This weeks topic is Planning vs Action and the importance of the two. We discuss what percentage we feel should be put towards both in order to succeed toward your goals. We talk in depth about paralysis by analysis and the Pareto Principal as they go hand in hand with this topic.
So what do I need to know about planning? How much time do I spend on planning? How do I effectively plan? We’ve got you covered. Here are 3 questions to ask yourself before you get started with planning:
What have I done and how did it go?
We call this Retrospective Planning. The most significant leaps you will take in your planning come through auditing what you’ve done and figuring out what you can do better.
What’s my ONE Thing?
If you haven’t read The One Thing by Gary Keller, we suggest you do so immediately. In his book he has you ask yourself a very simple, yet profound question before you get your day/week/month/year started – “What’s the one thing I can do, such that by doing it everything else is easier or unnecessary?”
This is THE most effective way to prioritize. Once you figure out your ONE Thing add it to the beginning of your plan, then ask the question again until your schedule is full.
How much time am I spending planning?
We like to go with a 90:10 ratio. No more than 10% of your time should be spent planning. Here’s a template you can used based on a 40-hour work week.
i. 1 Hour every Sunday to plan your week ahead
ii. 15 minutes M-F before you start your day
iii. 15 minutes M-F before you end your day for Auditing (Retrospective Planning)
iv. That’s a total of 3.5 hours per week. Save that extra 30-minutes each week to use at the end of each month where you’ll spend an 1-2 hours auditing your past month and planning the upcoming month
One of the biggest lies we’re told growing up is that “Knowledge is power”, which is bullshit. Knowledge is completely useless without ACTION. APPLIED KNOWLEDGE is where the real power is. Yes, planning is important and it will help get us to where we want to go faster, but at the end of the day, if you’re spending all of your time on the sidelines measuring the track, analyzing the turf, and trying to predict the weather, you’re never going to get into the race.
This week the guys talk about Planning Versus Action and the importance of the two!
Often in the business and entrepreneurship world there is a large amount of time that is spent on planning towards your goal. Thoughts and ideas are put down in effort to try and achieve success. What if you never take action though? Can your goals be achieved or will they just be dreams that never became reality. On the flip side though, can you achieve your goals by taking action without plans? Most the time the answer is yes! You may fail or stumble along the way but odds are you will find success!
This weeks topic is Planning vs Action and the importance of the two. We discuss what percentage we feel should be put towards both in order to succeed toward your goals. We talk in depth about paralysis by analysis and the Pareto Principal as they go hand in hand with this topic.
On this episode the guys discuss what percentage they feel is correct in order to have the right amount of planning vs action. Matt also touches base on his Ennegram personality test that relates to how he plans, for more on that listen to our entire episode on it here!
We discuss Elon Musk “5 Minute Rule” in which he plans out his day in 5 minute time blocks the evening prior! This is coming from one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the world.
