Dai Manuel:

Hey, hey, 2% Collective. Welcome back to another episode of the 2% Solution. I'm your host, diamond. Well, and today we will get real, raw and real, and I mean really real. We're talking about those moments in life when you look around and think what the heck is going on. Why aren't things working out the way I expected, whether it's in your health, your work relationships or maybe just overall life satisfaction. If you don't trust the results you're getting, then it's time to do something about it. So let's dive in and figure out how to turn things around, starting now. Gotta start hard, look in the mirror. Let's start with a story, because you know I love a good story.

Dai Manuel:

Years ago, I hit literally a point in my life where I felt like I was spinning my wheels and gaining no traction. I was working hard, doing all the right things in air quotes, but the results weren't there. My business wasn't growing, my relationships restrained and my health was suffering. I was frustrated, confused and, honestly, a little bit scared. I wondered if I was doing something wrong or if life was giving me a raw deal. It's easy to feel that way, isn't it? And then it hit me the results I was or wasn't getting were a direct reflection of my actions, my mindset as well as my choices I was making. And that's when I knew it was time for a hard look in the mirror. If I didn't trust the results I was seeing, I needed to change the way I approached them. And that's exactly what I did. So here's the first step Self-awareness. Gotta know where we're starting from, where we're at, know a little bit about who we are, what we're about, why we are. And, according to a study published in the journal Personality and Social Psychology, people with high self-awareness are likelier to make better decisions, achieve their goals as well as live more fulfilling lives. Isn't that what we all want? Now, why is that? Because they understand how their thoughts, emotions and behaviors influence their outcomes.

Dai Manuel:

If you're not happy with the results you're getting, if you're not happy with the results you're getting, start by asking yourself these three questions. Number one what am I doing or not doing that's contributing to these results? Am I honest with myself about my efforts, priorities and mindset? And then, lastly, what limiting beliefs or fears keep me from achieving the desired results? Now I'm going to be honest. It's not always easy to face these answers, but trust me, it's going to be worth it. This is where the real growth happens. This process is simple yet powerful. Start with reflection, taking an honest look at your current situation. Then move into introspection, diving deep into your thoughts, feelings and motivations, and then next set a clear intention for what you want to achieve. And finally, you got to take decisive action toward the goal. Without the action, nothing happens. This four-step approach can be your roadmap to transforming unsatisfactory or untrustworthy results ultimately into the outcomes you do desire Now.

Dai Manuel:

Next, we have to talk about accountability in this conversation. You've heard me say it before Accountability is the game changer. According to the American Society of Training and Development, you're 65% more likely to achieve your goals if you commit them to someone else. If you meet with that person regularly to check your progress like a coach, a mentor, maybe a friend, a good colleague your chances of success jump to 95% 95%. So if you're not trusting the results, you're getting it's time to bring someone else into the mix. Like I said a coach, a mentor, a friend, maybe a loved one. Find someone who can hold you accountable, give you honest feedback and help you stay on track. Now it's not about judgment, it's about support and encouragement.

Dai Manuel:

Now here's the big takeaway today. If you don't trust the results you're getting, you need to take immediate action. Don't wait, don't procrastinate. Do something about it today, now. It doesn't have to be anything huge. Start by making small, manageable changes that align with the results you want to see and experience. So, for example, all right, we all like examples. If you're not seeing progress in your health, why not evaluate your diet, your exercise, your sleep habits? What small change or tweak can you make today to move the needle forward in those areas? Second example if your career isn't where you want it to be, consider what skills or connections you need to develop. What action can you take right now to start that process? And then, lastly, what if your relationships are struggling? Ask yourself how can you show up more fully and authentically? What conversation can you initiate today to improve communication and connection? Remember, small, consistent actions lead to big results over time.

Dai Manuel:

The whole life fitness manifesto and the 2% solution are about making those minor, incremental improvements that add to a life you can be proud of. All right, my 2% collective. Well, that's it for today. If you don't trust the results you're getting in life, it's time to take action, starting now, tomorrow. Now, look in the mirror, get real with yourself and make the necessary changes to create your desired life. Thanks for tuning in again to 2% Solution.
