The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett XX
[0] Did you know that the DariVosio now has its own channel exclusively on Samsung TV Plus?
[1] And I'm excited to say that we've partnered with Samsung TV to bring this to life, and the channel is available in the UK, the Netherlands, Germany and Austria.
[2] Samsung TV Plus is a free streaming service available to all owners of Samsung Smart TVs and Galaxy mobiles and tablets.
[3] And along with the Dyeravisio channel, you'll find hundreds of more channels with entertainment for everyone all for free on Samsung TV plus.
[4] So if you own a Samsung TV, tune in now and watch the Dyer of a Cio channel, right now.
[5] If someone has an ambition to be something, if they have the ambition to be, you know, a sports star, I know you've worked with a lot of athletes and you've worked with business people or they want to start a business, what you tend to see it and what I tend to see in my inbox is a lot of people with intention, but there seems to be something preventing that intention from turning into action or like behavior.
[6] Into an achievement.
[7] Yeah.
[8] Yeah.
[9] And I think that, you know, turning an ambition into achievement is the key because, Most people will have good intentions.
[10] Most people will be wishing and hoping to be better.
[11] But there's a big difference between wishing and hoping and believing and executing upon it.
[12] So I think that the people who genuinely execute on it probably want it more for a start.
[13] And that's the key.
[14] No one's ever wandered around the bottom of a mountain and then simply found themselves at the top.
[15] It does take that determination, the resilience.
[16] It does take the ability to execute upon ideas to drive success.
[17] So I think the key is the desire, which is fueled by having a purpose, a mission, a vision towards what that end goal should look like.
[18] A lot of people can't quite, they say one thing.
[19] They say that their purpose is to go to the gym, for example.
[20] We all say one thing and do the other.
[21] Yeah, and why is that?
[22] Because it's sometimes hard to distinguish with someone, whether that's their real sort of desire or whether they're kind of like virtue signalling to themselves that they want to be something or, you know, they want to start that business or become an entrepreneur, be, you know, get a six pack.
[23] But then their actions show that quite a different story.
[24] So I always wondered that with some of my friends.
[25] I always think, are they, do they actually want that?
[26] Or are they just?
[27] It's very easy to say that this is what I'm after and much harder to do it.
[28] And I think one of the reasons why is because we have to invest, we self -invest.
[29] So we probably want to these, kids at school who are great footballers at 1415.
[30] You think, you know what, they're going to make it.
[31] They're just brilliant.
[32] They're going to make it.
[33] Or great track athletes at 12 and you just think they're special.
[34] But they don't make it.
[35] And the reason why they don't make it is they don't self -invest.
[36] So the people who make it are the ones who will get up on a rainy Friday morning, get up on a rainy Saturday morning to go on practice whilst their mates are in bed.
[37] The ones who will practice on a Friday night when they're, mates are out drinking.
[38] And so talent is not enough.
[39] You need talent plus teachability.
[40] So talent plus the ability to be open -minded, agile in our thinking, to commit to practice and turn that practice into something which develops our talent even further.
[41] So there's lots of people with talent in business, lots of people with talent and sport.
[42] But I guess that we need to be open -minded enough to invest in how we practice our talent to become successful.
[43] So, you know, there's no substitute for practice.
[44] I get lots of golfers who say to me that, yeah, can you make me better?
[45] Yeah, and yeah, the number one golfer in the world will practice more than any any amateur, you know, and, you know, there lies the truth.
[46] But, you know, we need to, we need to apply ourselves in a particular manner.
[47] And so we need to be practical about how we exercise our talent.
[48] You create good feedback loops to understand what we're doing, gain better personal introspection and self -awareness to allow us to use our talents differently.
[49] How do you give someone that purpose though like i'm trying to think like so we know we know practices like so incredibly important to master something but my i guess my question is um how how would you give someone that motivation because i i i guess you you can't give someone purpose a lot of us spend so much of our lives trying to to motivate people right to motivate friends families you know siblings whatever it might be and i'm wondering if there's a thing we can do as like loving friends or whatever to to give someone that kick.
[50] So I'm a couple of points, I guess, on that.
[51] In regard to discovering purpose, it can't be done for someone.
[52] So I always say purpose is never achieved, it's attained on a daily basis.
[53] So the mistake that people make with purpose is they confuse it with an end goal.
[54] So here's my purpose.
[55] And they have this vision statement of what they're seeking to, you know, achieve or create, whatever it might be.
[56] And I get practical and tangible about it.
[57] But purpose isn't that.
[58] Purpose is achieved on a daily basis.
[59] Sorry, purpose is never achieved.
[60] It's attained on a daily basis.
[61] And this is why Tiger Woods keeps working.
[62] This is why Warren Buffett keeps working.
[63] It's why Richard Branson keeps working.
[64] It's because it's never achieved.
[65] It's attained on a daily basis.
[66] So I think that, you know, we need to find something which is purposeful to us.
[67] And then we need to lose ourselves to it on a regular basis.
[68] So once we start to become more purpose -driven and express ourselves in a particular way, I always say being a good colleague, being a good business leader, been a good sports person.
[69] It's not seeking to impress.
[70] It's about seeking to express and be ourselves in the context of our work.
[71] So once people can find that within themselves, then I think they can direct their energy and their focus in a particular way and become much more purpose driven in how they go about their daily activities.
[72] But you can't give someone that purpose.
[73] It has to be theirs.
[74] And I think life is about timing.
[75] I think some people find that very late, some people find that very early, and it makes no difference.
[76] We're all individuals.
[77] In regard to helping other people make change, we're almost too quick to go towards behaviours.
[78] So we tell people to be different all the time.
[79] Tell our team members, you should be more collaborative guys.
[80] I tell our kids, you need to be more innovative.
[81] Tell our children to keep their rooms tidy.
[82] So we're constantly talking to people about behaviours.
[83] Say to our friends that you should give up smoking or be healthier, whatever it might be.
[84] The only way in which you change actions is by changing thoughts.
[85] So we think and then we feel and then we act.
[86] That's how we work.
[87] So if you're constantly working on actions, we're telling people to be different.
[88] And this is why New Year's resolutions fail.
[89] From tomorrow, I'll be different.
[90] Start doing this.
[91] I'm going to stop doing that.
[92] We start talking about actions and behaviours.
[93] We need to go back to the precursor of all our actions, which is our thoughts.
[94] So the only way in which you genuinely drive commitment rather than compliance, when it comes to change in your team, in your friends, you know, in yourself is by changing the words and pictures in your head or their head to drive different feelings and then different actions.
[95] There's a little tip which I sometimes give leaders.
[96] And so I said leaders, never say to your team you're gonna make a change.
[97] You say to your team, you're gonna make a change, they won't like it.
[98] Say to your team, I'd like to try and experiment.
[99] They'll all be on board with it.
[100] And we'll give that a go, that's okay.
[101] So even just a difference in language to allow someone to think differently, or make them feel differently and hopefully therefore choose to act in a different manner.
[102] And how would I get someone to change their thoughts?
[103] Yeah.
[104] So if you've got anyone in mind, isn't there?
[105] I have, you know, I think the best way is gamification.
[106] What holds people in place is what they believe to be true.
[107] And so people will sit around a boardroom table and I'll discuss strategy.
[108] And I'll say, you know, look, you know, we can do this, but we can't do that.
[109] And I'll have a viewpoint on budgets, on consumer buying behaviours, on compliance and governance.
[110] And that's what holds us in place.
[111] So what we need to do is break free of some of the parameters that we think are in the way.
[112] So if we've got people around the boardroom table and say, look, guys, there's just this strategy piece that we're going to talk about.
[113] Let's imagine we got an unlimited marketing budget for it.
[114] If we had an unlimited marketing budget for it, I know we haven't, but if we had, what would we be doing, how would we be doing it?
[115] you know if we had no marketing budget what would we be doing now what we're doing here is that we are helping people to move outside the mental tram lines that we all operate under and under habitual thinking so let's ask some what if questions at them can you imagine that you know a life if you weren't smoking at what would it look like at what would you be doing today if you weren't smoking what'd you spend your money on that you save on cigarettes just play the game of what if so let's break free of some of the things which are holding people place, not by conflict, not by arguing and debate in a confrontational manner, but finding some common ground and working from there.
[116] And a common ground is, let's play a game.
