Dave, welcome to the All Star success codes podcast, where we take you inside the minds of champions to unlock the secrets to success straight from the mouths of those who have mastered their craft. I'm your host. Dave Scatchard, join me as I take you on a journey, to help you move the needle to your next level. Get ready to ignite your passion, unleash your potential and uncover the blueprint for greatness. Good morning, everybody. Dave Scatchard, coming to you live with another amazing power hour. I'm so fired up about this one. This one was literally delivered to me like a message from God, saying, You gotta talk more about struggle. And I'm like, nobody wants to talk about struggle. No one to do the Instagram and the Facebook life, but say that everything's perfect, that life is amazing, and then nobody struggles. And the message back to me was, that's a lie, and people are feeling it right now,

Speaker 1 1:02

all kinds of people, in fact, most people, and most people are

Dave Scatchard 1:07

afraid to talk about it because they don't want to be judged, or they don't want anybody to know what's really going on. But the truth is, is that when you hide that stuff, it actually you're presenting a false front to the world. You're not dealing in reality, and you're actually living in an unaligned state, okay? And when we're unaligned, we

Speaker 1 1:25

can't win. We're lying. We're out of we're

Dave Scatchard 1:29

We came from a town of a few: 1000

Unknown Speaker 4:14

camp. Are they say? I don't think so.

Dave Scatchard 4:17

They all drove there themselves. I'm with my dad. I walk in for registration, and they look at me and they say, my dad is like, Hey, I'm here to register, Dave Scatchard. And they're looking over my head, looking for my big brother or something. And my dad's like, he's right here. And they're like, checking the My name and like, how old are you? I'm like, I'm 12. And they're like, something's wrong here. This is main camp. This is where the big boys play. And I'm like, Well, I just left it at night in my dad's truck in the freezing cold. And you know, I'd like to play. There's this conversation that goes on with the general manager. I end up going out there. They let me do one skate. I survived, but that was a struggle. I was terrified. I was ter. Had to go do the uncertain thing they'd never done. It never played against 16 to 20 year olds. My first ship, there's a line brawl. Everybody's fighting. I'm like, 12 with this full K Charn and Cooper all pants, and I'm watching these guys beat the crap out of each other. And I'm like, What am I? What do I got this all into? Right? I was terrified.

Unknown Speaker 5:17

I was terrified. That was a struggle. At

Dave Scatchard 5:21

16 years old, I move away from home. I'm home sick like crazy. I got all this craziness going on. I'm getting bullied by my teammates. I'm getting the coach didn't like me. He wanted to just play the really older players, the 20 year olds. I'm 16, and Portland winter hawks, the team I was trying to make. I didn't make it. So that was a struggle. I got sent down, and now I'm playing in a town that I don't really want to be in with a coach that doesn't really want me there with players who it's their last year hockey, and they just want to play awesome. And I don't blame them, but they didn't make my life easy as a little kid, as a 16 year old. So I call my parents, I'm like, I think I want to come home. Okay, some of you heard this story before. My mom's like, you can come home, but I know how bad you want this, Dave, I know this is your dream. I know that you want this so bad. Don't you think you'd regret it if you gave up already? And

Speaker 1 6:09

that was a struggle, okay? But in each one

Dave Scatchard 6:13

of these moments in time, and I have many more, and I'll share some more with you as we go along,

Speaker 1 6:19

but there's a point where something has to change, okay? And number one thing being your mindset. I had to dig in. I had to get a little

Dave Scatchard 6:29

stronger mentally. I had to commit to myself. Am I in or am I out? Am I going to put up with the bullying and the coach that hates me and miss my mom and my dad, my brother and my sister and all my friends, because I'm in a strange town with strange people living on my own, like build a family that has two babies, they don't know how to take care of a teenager. Am I going to put up with that, or am I just going to cave in and go home? And I had a friend that caved in and went home, he went through the same exact thing, and he's a school teacher now, which is great, nice guy.

Unknown Speaker 7:03

But do you think he regrets

Dave Scatchard 7:04

it every day, getting to see what I did with my life

Unknown Speaker 7:10

in the NHL and beyond,

Dave Scatchard 7:14

and he didn't get to experience that because he gave in. He quit. We both struggled exactly the same, but our outcomes were completely different. I got to make a lot of money playing a game that I love, traveling around the world, flying in private jets with amazing other human beings who are doing the same thing. And I was one of 700 people in the entire world that got through this job. And guess what? They don't hand out these jerseys to anybody who wants them. The goals and the dreams you guys want aren't just going to be handed to you. That's why they're called goals and dreams.

Unknown Speaker 7:49

There's going to be struggle, and

Dave Scatchard 7:51

there's going to be these tipping points that you get to that you decide one way or another, you

Speaker 1 7:55

decide to go home, it's over. You decide to commit,

Dave Scatchard 8:00

draw a line in the sand and say, I don't care if I fucking die doing this. I'm gonna

Unknown Speaker 8:05

make it. I'm gonna get to the next level. I

Dave Scatchard 8:08

don't care how long it takes me, I don't care who beats me up. I don't care how many haters I have. I literally don't care about anything else other than hitting my goal blinders on. It's gonna hurt. It's gonna suck. It's gonna be a struggle. It's gonna be terrible at times. You're like, what

Unknown Speaker 8:24

am I doing?

Speaker 2 8:26

But the payoff is so worth it. So many of us quit before there's a fucking chance

Speaker 1 8:31

to win, and many of you are so close,

Dave Scatchard 8:37

you gotta put the fucking hammer down and go, Okay, are you guys with me? Type in the chat if you're feeling this, because I

Unknown Speaker 8:44

don't want to be wasting my breath.

Dave Scatchard 8:47

There's something to be said for people who commit. They're fucking legends. They make the next level, they hit the next stride. They make the big money. You think it's great to be a brain surgeon. Have to be sitting there studying for all those hours, you all those years of school, that sucks. It's a struggle, but the brain surgeon and the specialist

Unknown Speaker 9:06

gets the most money. Are you guys feeling me? Because it's not special. If everyone can do it, it's not special at all. So embrace the struggle. Embrace the struggle, embrace

Dave Scatchard 9:24

just doing things you've never done before. Because every single time you do it's like lifting weights, and you're getting stronger and you're getting stronger and you're getting stronger, and after a certain point you become bulletproof, where you're like,

Speaker 2 9:36

nothing can fuck with me. I've dealt with so much shit my life that like there's very little that rocks my world, and

Dave Scatchard 9:43

when it does, I'm like, Man, I gotta learn something here. I don't know why this is happening. I don't know what's going on, but I gotta learn there's a lesson in here for me, and once I figure out the lesson, I

Unknown Speaker 9:56

get to go to the next level. It's like a video game. But.

Dave Scatchard: 10:00

If you can't beat the guy at the end of the first level, you don't get to go to level two in the video game. You guys understand the metaphor.

: 10:09

So what is it that you're struggling with? What is it that you can't figure out? Why haven't you done it yet? These are questions you

Unknown Speaker: 10:16

have to ask yourself,

Dave Scatchard: 10:19

is it your habits? Is it your routines? Is it your commitment? Is it your discipline? Is your determination? Is it that you don't really want it? Is it that you're lazy?

: 10:29

I don't know. Is it that you're unhealthy? Is it that you're out of alignment and integrity? You say one thing, but you do and live another way. All of those things will make the struggle longer. You have to, you have

Dave Scatchard: 10:45

to find another way to go. It has to this way hasn't worked yet. Okay, and listen, many of you are successful out there. I'm not bashing anybody, but there are things that we all struggle with. Okay, you might be an amazing businessman and your relationship sucks. You might be amazing in relationship, but you can't make any money. You might be rich as hell, but you're about to have a jammer, a heart attack, because you're fat, in no shape. You're struggling somewhere. Okay, this is why I stay in business. Okay, I'm always in business because I'm able to coach on all those things. Because, in a way, I've experienced each one of those highest and lows. That's what makes me a fantastic coach. So I can sit here and talk with no notes, speak from my heart and soul and try to help people and give them a

: 11:30

little kick in the ass and make them go. I can sit here and,

Dave Scatchard: 11:35

you know, placate you and be like, hey, you know, I'm sorry that you're struggling. You know, do you want to talk

: 11:40

about your struggles, and we can play that game, but there's not enough energy to change it.

Dave Scatchard: 11:47

Write this down. If something's not working your life, there's not enough energy, or it's not the right type of energy, okay, you got

Unknown Speaker: 11:54

to put more energy into it. It has

Dave Scatchard: 11:55

to be more focus. It has to be different quality or type of energy to get the result you're looking for.

Unknown Speaker: 11:59

That's number one.

Dave Scatchard: 12:02

Okay, now today, I mean, look like I got some notes here for you, but I want to, I want to energize this call before we jump into the notes. Otherwise, they're useless. Okay, so can we make a commitment that when we do jump into the actual training, that you guys are committed to executing the plan and doing whatever it takes to get yourself to the next level. So if

Unknown Speaker: 12:22

you're not, I'm wasting my breath. We commit.

Dave Scatchard: 12:27

Say, I'm in. I'm all in. I'm going to stay till the end. I'm actually going to give some good stuff away at the end too, by the way. So you want to stay till the end. It's kind of the missing piece, I believe, and it's more of this type of energy and this type of discussion and self analyzation and auditing. Okay, so let's rock and roll today. We're talking about unleashing your full potential, transforming your struggles into success. How many people out there would like to transform their struggles into

Unknown Speaker: 12:53

success? My whole book is

Dave Scatchard: 12:56

about struggles into success. My whole journey to the NHL with struggles. That's what made it so amazing. When I made it I remember walking into the dressing room when my first NHL game was in Japan. Ironically, first NHL game outside of North America. We're playing the Mighty Ducks at Anaheim, and Mark Messi is sitting beside me, and I walk in and my jersey is hanging there, that jersey right there, that number 20

: 13:23

right there, it's hanging there in the stall. And I just start crying

Dave Scatchard: 13:30

because I realized how much work, how much struggle went into earning that mother effort, how much work went into that? How many pucks did I shoot? How many bag skates did I have where my legs are burning and I didn't think I could do another another lap, another end to end, another line rush or whatever. How many weights, where I did I live to get here, I built this body. Guys, I built it. I'm going to show you how to do the same thing today. I built this man. I built this mind. I built this bulletproof mind of mine. Because I had to to get to there the skinny Dave, the 130 pounds, six foot, three skinny Dave

: 14:12

couldn't perform with the big boys. I had to build this body. Then I had to build my skill set, and then I had to build my mind. Many of you on this call have to do the same thing. You have to do the same thing because if you don't, you're not going to get into Jersey, and you're going to go through life, and it's going to be very neutral. It'll be okay. Got some good times, but mostly it'd be kind of flat. Okay. Those of you with

Dave Scatchard: 14:47

less energy and less enthusiasm and and some sort of bad patterns that are running, it's going to actually go down, and your quality of life is actually going to get worse and worse and worse and worse and worse. Dollars, and you run this out three, 510, years down the road,

Unknown Speaker: 15:02

you don't want that. I don't want that for

Dave Scatchard: 15:07

you. That's why I'm coaching on struggle today. You think I want to coach on struggle? Listen, I want to coach on success and fine, like you got all the wins and all the celebrations, all the all the money and all the fame and all the great stuff that goes along with winning at the highest level. I love talking about that, but guess what? That's not reality for most people. And as a coach, I'm kind of embracing that a little bit more, because I'm like, You know what, Dave, I don't have to just coach the elite of the elite. I need to coach everybody. You know what? There's people that are trying to figure it out that I know the answers to because I went through this roller coaster. You're going to hear about that in a second in my life, where

: 15:45

I had to build myself a couple times from scratch. Dave Scatchard,

Unknown Speaker: 15:52

from scratch. Okay, I had to build

Unknown Speaker: 15:54

this dude.

Dave Scatchard: 15:57

So I can show you the steps and the mindset. Okay, it's going to start with a lot of that, but I'm going to try to wrap this all up in an hour. So I got to move if I want to do this. And I'm going to bring in some of the whiteboard, but my guts is telling me that this group needs more energy. So how many of you are committed to making a change, standing up for yourself, becoming a better role model for your friends, your family, your kids, your community, yourself. How many people would like to feel the pride of doing something hard I did this iron man right here last year, and you're going to hear a story in a second where I literally

Unknown Speaker: 16:36

couldn't jog

Dave Scatchard: 16:37

to my stop sign up my street and back without vomiting. After my career was over, I'd have five concussions. I was taking Alzheimer's medicine for my brain. I literally had no memory. So I would I could choose whole presentation and forget that I did it. That's how bad it was. I'd be driving down the road and have to call my wife and ask her, like, where am I going? Like, what?

Unknown Speaker: 16:59

What am I doing? I was 36 years old. My career

Dave Scatchard: 17:03

had just ended. I'd had five concussions. I had some micro hemorrhaging. My brain was screwed up. All my neural pathways and my brain function, so I was literally like my brain was retarded. It was slow, and my thought process, instead of going a to b, would go A to Z, to M to L to B, and then I would forget what I said, and I wouldn't even remember the conversation. I couldn't work, I couldn't do anything, and I

Unknown Speaker: 17:27

want to kill myself. True story, the Mayo Clinic gave

Dave Scatchard: 17:34

up on me after three years. They're like, sorry, Dave, you're just permanently disabled. There's nothing we can do for you.

Unknown Speaker: 17:39

Take all this medicine.

Dave Scatchard: 17:41

I was on ambient to sleep, Adderall, to try to focus, pain, whatever they were giving me, Vicodin or some crap I don't even know, and and then Alzheimer's medicine, and my whole system was just freaking messed up. I felt like a waste of skin, and I felt like I had so much more in me to give, and I couldn't give it because I

Unknown Speaker: 18:03

couldn't function. I started doing this in

Dave Scatchard: 18:06

personal work, right? And I started hiring coaches and mentors and trainers and going around the world and healers and energy workers and shaman and monks, and like I would just anybody who I thought could help me. I would go learn everything that I could from these people, because they knew things that I didn't know. The funny thing was, my brain wasn't working, so it's triple it's hard to like remember everything. So I became a master note taker. I would take hundreds and hundreds of pages of notes, and I would reread them three or four or five times, hoping to remember some of it. Then slowly. And this is some god stuff, too. The light started to turn back on in my brain and my body, and then I started to, like, talk to myself different, and I shifted my mindset. We'll talk about that

: 18:49

in a second. But I started going from this fat, outer shape, broken human to becoming the man you see today, which I'm really proud of.

Dave Scatchard: 19:01

Since then, I've written a book about the whole thing,

: 19:04

right? I completed an Iron Man. I don't

Dave Scatchard: 19:09

know how many people we've helped in this coaching business, well over, probably 23,000

: 19:13

now or so. I built this guy. I'm going to show you how to today. Okay, so if I can do it, guys, you can do it. Okay, I'm not that smart, I'm not that special, but I'm committed. Okay, if I can do it, you guys can do this. So

Dave Scatchard: 19:29

it's making some notes this morning, and this is literally 320 if some of you guys got some emails from me at 320 this morning, that was me live. Okay, doing this. Because this is another thing like I did, one of my challenges, where those 20,000 people came through, I honestly was just listening to the message that I was supposed to receive, but I had to build everything like in, like a Dave a half.

Unknown Speaker: 19:52

So anyways, okay, here

Dave Scatchard: 19:55

we go, unleashing your full potential and transforming struggles into success. Yes. Raise your hand or type in the chat that you'd like that. And then when I started to look up the definition of struggle, there was, like so many interesting words used to find struggle, and I'm going to read a bunch of them for you, because I want to keep this on time. But it was to make forceful or violent efforts to get free of restriction or constriction. And that's that's a verb, okay? So that's the verb meaning of it. But the same thing for a noun meaning, listen to this struggling is, is make forceful or

: 20:30

violent efforts to get free from attack. How many people

Dave Scatchard: 20:35

out there feel like you're being attacked right now by life? Okay? I'm talking credit card bills. I'm talking relationships crap. I'm talking things going on with your kids. I'm talking work. I'm talking

Unknown Speaker: 20:47

your health, right? You're being attacked.

Dave Scatchard: 20:52

But today, hopefully the information that I can put into it will help you take back control of your life and make some decisions that will transform your life forever and ever. Okay, so engage in conflict, okay, that's a struggle. Strive to achieve something in the face of difficulties or resistance. Okay, that's probably more our definition for the people in this group, but I guarantee you, we all are dealing with some of these difficulty handling or coping with, okay, that's a struggle. And then, as a noun, it's a determined effort under difficulties. So none of this thing about struggles Sounds easy, does it? And it sounds binding. It sounds like like somebody's trying to choke me or kill me in our world and and you know, those of you who are all stars. You know, you know the champions map. And when we're climbing the champions ladder, it's this really cool graphic that I design, and you can sort of self diagnose where you are on the map, but there's this champions map, and as you start to go up, the big thing, boom, this matrix thing hits you. You know, whoa. What was that? It's like, Dave, you're not smart enough to become a best selling author. Go back down to existence and stay down at that level. You're like, oh, maybe I am not smart enough, or I don't know what I'm doing, right? That's why it took me five years, right? But then stays on my heart, and I keep going, Okay, well, I gotta finish this book. Okay, I gotta write the book. Start writing the book again. Blah, blah, blah, blah, then all sudden, it goes resistance, boom, kick in the face. Back down the ladder. You fall and it's like, Hey, I told you, you're not good enough. You're not smart enough. Nobody gives a shit about your story. You'll never be anything. That's what it wants you to feel so it can control you. Imagine dark energy or dark forces, or whatever it wants to control you and subdue you. Okay, it wants you to struggle. Doesn't Want You to be flow and glide, awaken champion and all star are all the the goal, if we can get into that realm, we make up our own rules. We are in Flex and flow. We're in flow and glide. We're not struggling. It's not effortful. You're creative, you're energized, you're excited, right? But if you're in existence or in the pit, it sucks, it's hard. And then the last one at the top, the very top, before you break through into champion or all star or awaken, is called The Last Stand. The Last Stand wants you to

Unknown Speaker: 23:23

it wants to end you. It doesn't need

Dave Scatchard: 23:26

a superstar or bright light out there showing the real truth of the world. It wants to subdue you. And if you're not all in it will, it'll be a constant struggle. But something magical happens when you take a stand for yourself. I'm

Unknown Speaker: 23:41

born to do this. I have to

Dave Scatchard: 23:43

do this. My This is my mission in life. I will go until I die

: 23:46

doing this. So get out of my way. And it's almost like when you make that level

Dave Scatchard: 23:52

of commitment or that tipping point, right? I am all in I'll do whatever it takes. I'll be the hardest working guy in the ice I will not go home because I'm homesick. I'm literally gonna outwork, out, hustle, out, fight, out, perform, every single person on my team so they don't have a chance. They don't have

: 24:05

any choice but to play me. That's what happened when I was 16.

Dave Scatchard: 24:09

I said, I don't care. Okay, I'm in. I stayed. I didn't go home. I stayed. And I said, the

: 24:15

pleasure, the reward, is going to be worth the suffering. So I don't care how much I suffer. And when I did that, magic happened. I started

Dave Scatchard: 24:23

playing better. I was the last guy in the gym as the last guy on the ice. All the scouts started talking, and a year later, I was drafted 42nd overall in the whole world, after having mono for like half the year. And that was another struggle. I had mono during my draft year. So I'm a 17 year old boy now. I was 185 pounds. I went down to 135 140 pounds with the mono, and they said my season was over. That was a struggle. But I said, No, I'm going to figure out a way to try to get better as soon as I could get upright, which took a couple months. I was really, really sick, and I'd it's. Swollen spleen and tonsillitis and strep throat, where I couldn't even eat food, but

Unknown Speaker: 25:06

I would start to walk some stairs,

Dave Scatchard: 25:07

and eventually started to train myself behind the scenes. And then when I did get a chance to come back, actually performed at a super high level, but that was a

: 25:16

struggle. Okay? Now number one, okay,

Dave Scatchard: 25:19

limiting beliefs. And actually, as I was writing this out, I kind of flip flopped it, because I believe that create a

: 25:25

compelling vision will allow you to see what your limiting beliefs are, okay, but for today, we're going to start with limiting beliefs. Okay, how do your limiting beliefs shape your reality? I want you to ask yourself this question, how do your limiting beliefs shape your reality? I think it completely shapes it. If you tell yourself there's no way

Dave Scatchard: 25:52

in hell that I'm going to be one of 700 people out of 8 billion to play in NHL, then you will

: 25:57

that you won't make it. That's your limiting belief. It's too hard,

Dave Scatchard: 26:02

Dave, you need a plan B. That's what all my teachers tell me, Dave, you need to plan B.

: 26:06

You're probably not going to make the NHL. And I'm like, you don't know

Dave Scatchard: 26:11

what I'm made of. Don't you dare say that. You don't know the lion inside of me. I know I'm a skinny kid, but I'm focused, I'm committed. I'm all in.

: 26:22

Nothing will stop me. Nothing will I

Dave Scatchard: 26:26

will literally die on the cross if I have to to get this goal

: 26:30

accomplished. Since a little boy, that was my goal, and I went through these highs and lows, I'd always be the best

Dave Scatchard: 26:36

player than the worst player, then best player and go to the next level, then worst player and the best player, then next level, I'm worse player, and I have to, like, freaking prove myself over and over and over again. So like, do you think now when I have to prove myself, I give a shit? No, I might not be great at it this marketing stuff now or this coaching stuff now, but over the years, I've become fucking professional and making

: 27:00

seven figures. So I don't know is that successful? I've done it in real estate. I've

Dave Scatchard: 27:05

done it in my book. I've done it in Iron Man. I've done it in winning that two

Unknown Speaker: 27:09

comic Club Award over there, making the NHL. I've proved

Dave Scatchard: 27:14

the critics wrong over and over and over again. But it was literally by changing my limiting beliefs. Okay, what are yours? What are your limiting beliefs? I want you to identify right now. Type them in the chat. Do you think money is hard to make? Do you think you're that you're not good enough or pretty enough, or that you don't deserve the right person for you? Do you believe that life is hard? Do you believe that you're cursed? Do you believe that you are not smart enough, you're too young, you're too old, you're out of shape, you're washed up. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, okay, nobody's typing in the chat, and that's okay, because I know that people don't want to address this, but somewhere in your subconscious, there's something telling you that you can't do it otherwise be done by now, right? Or you would have found a way somebody types in the chat. Potential, yeah, potential is fine, but potential without energy is zero. It's neutral. Write that one down. I should write that down. That's pretty good. Potential without energy is zero. You can have a potential in the world, but if you don't have any energy driving towards the goal or the right habits or routines or commitment, nothing happens. You stay in potential forever.

: 28:23

Yes, agree. Good, reframe, okay, um, yo, actually, how? How are

Dave Scatchard: 28:34

they holding you back? So these limiting beliefs, maybe write down on your notebook right now. How are these holding you back? What's it stopping you from accomplishing? Wouldn't it be crazy, because it's really happening? Wouldn't it be crazy if you're limiting beliefs, we're stopping you from having that amazing life that you know that you were designed to have, or that amazing impact in the world, or that amazing money that could provide opportunities for your

Unknown Speaker: 28:59

friends and your family? Well, it is so what

Dave Scatchard: 29:04

if we remove those limiting beliefs, or we identify them, at least, and then you start to say to yourself and really embody it with your whole body, every cell your body, instead of me saying, I'm just got brain damage, or I'm permanently disabled, or all this bullshit by all the doctors, you know, whatever they call it diagnosis. If I buy the doctor's diagnosis, and

Unknown Speaker: 29:26

that is what I become. Okay. There's some of you out there that are

Dave Scatchard: 29:30

very unhealthy. Switch your vision of your of your body. You're not fat, no shave, you're just a work in progress, and you're getting stronger and healthier every day. I'm making healthier decisions every day your relationship sucks. You know what? Don't stop. Don't say, I'm working on my relationship, because you're not working on your relationship. Say, Listen, I'm committed to taking my relationship to another level, and I'm going to do that with focused energy, with using the right language and communication with my significant other. And. To give them the time that they need to understand how much I love them and care for them.

: 30:05

That's a different thing than saying I'm working on it. Do you guys see how simple a reframe that is? Okay? So

Dave Scatchard: 30:11

because I love you guys, I wanted to do something that you can relate to and take with you right now. Okay, I'm going to go really fast. I want you to start thinking like a pro instead of an amateur. An amateur would an amateur say, I'm afraid that I will fail. A pro would say only if I were consistently to focus on the false belief that I can always fail. The truth is that I will always learn from my mistakes and that nothing is wasted. So much of my greatest strengths have come from learning and from something that didn't work. I can always focus on the silver lining. Okay, here's another one. I'm a bad procrastinator. Well, only if I lie to myself that I always put things off when the truth is I get things done in a timely manner. I complete and execute when something needs to get done, I get it done. I'm amazing at stepping up when something is needed from me. Carpe diem, seize the day. Okay, here's another one. I'm afraid that I will make a big mistake. Well, only if I were to consistently focus on the bullshit belief that mistakes are bad. This is one thing that our society is messed up in, is mistakes you either, you either learn or win. You don't ever fail. Okay, you don't make mistake. You learn. Okay, to consistently focus on the bullshit belief that mistakes are bad. The truth is realizing that mistakes are gifts given to me to learn and grow from making me stronger, wiser and better prepared, isn't that cool. So that's how you reframe it in your brain, I am overwhelmed. Well, only if I focused on the silly thought that I have too much going on, when the truth is that I have vast resourcefulness and superb decision making, power and structure to make anything happen. I will hire trade or ask a friend help me to do those things that I don't want to do. I will learn better time management skills that allow me to do what I do best and let everyone else do the rest. Isn't that cool? Anxiety only if I were to consistently focus on the worst possible scenario instead of accurately assessing the situation, knowing that I'm guided and having faith I haven't been let down. Yet I'm stronger than I even I know and there's nothing to worry about when I show up all in and authentically, like guys I made this thing about four or five years ago, maybe longer, maybe seven or eight years ago. Isn't that cool that we're talking about that today I can't afford to bullshit. I will find a way to be able to have and do the things I want. I must invest in this training to learn about finances. I will learn to generate more income to be able to afford whatever I want in this life. How can I earn more, contribute more and show up? More? Money equals options. Okay, so limiting belief might be, money is root of all evil bullshit. Money equals options. You can help people with money. You can do good things with money. Just don't let ever, let anybody tell you money is root of all evil. Money just amplifies the person you already are. My health is preventing me from I can't do this because blank Okay, with my concussions. I know my health is one of the most important things in my life. That is why I take care of my body and my mind daily. I treat it with healthy energy and food for fuel. I strengthen it daily, and I keep my ecosystem clean. This is a lifestyle and a way of being for me, and I know that I can always heal when I nurture and energize my system. It's not cool. It's a reframe my circumstances are preventing me from I can't do this because it's not a lack of resources. It's a lack of resourcefulness. My current situation is a blip on the radar, and it will not stop me from being who I'm called to be. I can overcome anything that I set my mind to. I will not be stuck. Which one has more energy? Which one do you think if you say enough times yourself and start to believe it, start to own it, take the actions of it is going to help you win

: 33:42

type in the chat, I would, but listen,

Dave Scatchard: 33:47

I'm not, I would, but consider it done. I will do whatever it takes and whatever I don't know. I will figure out or surround myself with a plus players that can get it done for me or teach me how to do it most effectively and efficiently. Okay, I'd like to but I will get it done. I will do whatever it takes. That's the difference between amateurs and pros. I coach them both, and the pro says, Tell me what to do. I'll go do it. The amateur says, I can't do it, because if the pro doesn't know how to do it, he's gonna go, I'll find a way to get it done. I'm not good enough, I'm not smart enough, I'm not pretty enough. I'm committed to doing whatever it takes, no matter what. I will outwork, outlast and out hustle anyone else is competing against me for this job or in this business, even if I don't know it. Now, I will learn and do whatever I must to help me succeed and ensure my success at the highest level in the world. Okay, a couple more my family or spouse says or things they have no idea what's inside of you. This is my vision, and it was given to me, not to them, so I can't expect them to understand it. I will use their jealousy, judgment and crappy attitude as fuel as I launch and scale and motivate me to prove them wrong. They will eat their words and I will feel proud to prove them wrong and to be the. Example

Unknown Speaker: 35:00

of what is possible. Use those negative people.

Dave Scatchard: 35:04

You're like. We don't want them around us. Okay, that's first thing. But if they are around you, use this fuel. Say, I'm going to prove them wrong. I'm going to prove them wrong. I had a lady that told me this coaching business would never be successful. I said, I'm going to prove it wrong. And I sent her a picture of my two comic Club Award when I won that and that's for selling a million bucks in one sales funnel.

: 35:25

You know, I've impacted over 23,000 lives so far, looking trying to get to 100

Dave Scatchard: 35:33

the teachers have told me I never make the NHL. I use this fuel. Every person that told me it's too hard or impossible, I'd be like, I can't wait to prove these guys wrong, I should have a backup plan in case this doesn't work. I don't want or need a plan B, because I'm going to make sure that the plan that I created gets executed like a pro. When I have pro habits, routines, discipline and focus, and when I might 100% all in Nothing can stop me. I'm unstoppable.

Unknown Speaker: 35:57

Force of nature. Isn't that cool? Do you guys like this

: 36:03

type in the chat, if you really enjoyed that, and there are things that you took from that that

Dave Scatchard: 36:09

you could use for yourself and reframe awesome? Yes, this is high octane in my turbo. Amen.

: 36:15

What else we got? Okay? Um, yes, yes, yes, okay. Number two, create a compelling vision. Okay, guys, we don't go out

Dave Scatchard: 36:32

to play around the golf with a blindfold on and start swinging the club, and we don't know where we're hitting the ball and we don't know if we're a driver or a four iron or a wedge. Are we on a part five? Are we on a par four? Are we on a par three? Some of you are out there playing life without knowing where the flag is.

: 36:51

Okay? You guys get this. Some

Dave Scatchard: 36:55

of your playing life without knowing where the flag is. What are you trying to do?

Unknown Speaker: 37:00

What do you want?

Dave Scatchard: 37:03

I think when we start this and find out what it is that we want, and then we put a target out there about what we want, and make a

Unknown Speaker: 37:11

bull's eye on the target, my biggest clients

Dave Scatchard: 37:18

are struggle is not having a clear vision. They're successful people. They're go getters, but they're they got their eye on either shifting things at once or they don't really know what they want, but they got a lot of energy, so they're going to run around and do a bunch of things which doesn't do

Unknown Speaker: 37:35

anything. Okay, we want

: 37:36

to create a clear, compelling future, a clear vision.

: 37:41

And then your goals that you create with the vision and purpose equal magic. When you can align your goals, your purpose

Dave Scatchard: 37:50

and your alignment and your vision, it equals magic. Something magical will happen. And then the secret is, once as a coach. I know some of these goals.

Unknown Speaker: 38:02

I'll say to them, what are some things that will help you get there?

Dave Scatchard: 38:06

And we can reverse engineering. So if I want this,

Unknown Speaker: 38:09

how

Dave Scatchard: 38:10

many steps do I need to create to go to this? Let's just say there's 10 steps. Well, we'll document the 10 steps, and then when we get to the one step, we go, okay, well, this is the first one. We're not focused on any of this other stuff. We're just focused on this. How do you eat a whale one

: 38:27

bite at a time? We're gonna take the first step, and we're gonna build a plant around it, and every day we're gonna work on it until it gets done. Then we get to go to the second step. It's not rocket science, but it works. Okay. What do

Dave Scatchard: 38:45

you want if I gave you a magic wand today and said, Hey guys, anything you

: 38:49

want? Dream big. Go ahead. And I literally, I remember, I remember how to I had a I

Dave Scatchard: 38:56

did this with a client, or it might even been on one of our challenges, and I had people do this and type in the chat

Unknown Speaker: 39:02

what it is that they wanted, and she typed in $800,000 okay, so she got a magic wand.

Dave Scatchard: 39:09

She could wave it around, she could ask for a billion she could ask for, like, a amazing life. She could ask for anything, but she asked for $800,000 I thought that was such a random, weird

Unknown Speaker: 39:19

exact number. But to her

Dave Scatchard: 39:24

right, she's making 40, $50,000 a year. That was like a massive, huge goal, if she could ever get to

Unknown Speaker: 39:33

that number. But I said I gave you a magic wand. You could have done 100 million. You could have done 500 million. You could

Dave Scatchard: 39:40

have done 5 billion, like even with the magic wand, her vision could only go to 800,000 does this make sense? Because some of you believe that some of your vision just can't go there, because you can't even fathom. Let yourself dream like that, because you're kind of capped by how much you. You can see in your own vision. That's why I make my goals huge. Okay? I didn't say it's gonna help 25,000 people this year. I said 100,000 Okay, and it's not even gonna be 100,000 next year, it's gonna be a million. Like, I want big, big numbers that are almost so big that I can't do it myself, and I need help from God in the universe,

: 40:18

and the creator organizing intelligence of the universe, whoever, whatever, can help me. I

Dave Scatchard: 40:26

need that energy because I don't have enough. Dave Scatchard doesn't have enough, so I gotta tap into some higher level stuff. And that's I do teach that in our Higher One on One stuff. But

: 40:37

for right now, it's just work on vision. Okay, be specific. Okay, many people aren't specific. You get a magic wand. What do you want? I want more money. Okay, well, here's here's a penny. Now you got more money.

Dave Scatchard: 40:52

Do you see how this can kind of backfire in your limiting beliefs, if it's not set up correctly? And

: 40:57

then you want more money? Okay? By when put it out there. Put a date out there. I just didn't put this in there. I should put it in there. Why? Why do you want that money? Why? What's your why? What's your purpose? Are you going to help? It's not all about you, okay? If it is all about you. It'll be kept. If it's about humanity, it'll be unkept. You can go as big as you want. What are some things that will help me get there? Okay, very important that you ask yourself this question number three, resilience and growth mindset.

Dave Scatchard: 41:33

Are you guys enjoying this, by the way, is this helping you?

Unknown Speaker: 41:38

Yes, yes. Yes. Yes. Okay, great. Struggles build muscle.

Dave Scatchard: 41:43

Okay. I actually don't know if I've ever heard this term, but I wrote it this morning and I underlined it because I thought it's pretty good. Struggles build muscle. Okay? It builds emotional strength, confidence, belief. It makes you search for answers and dig deep. Makes you learn things

Unknown Speaker: 41:59

without struggles are a gift. Struggles are a gift.

Dave Scatchard: 42:05

Why do we Why do we shut down and get small when we're in a struggle? We got to get bigger. We got to call in more energy. We got to call in more resourcefulness. We got to call in our higher level Einstein brains to help us figure out the problem.

Unknown Speaker: 42:19

Be resourceful. It's there. I got 800,000 examples

Dave Scatchard: 42:24

I could give you, but I want to keep moving over time. But how does that growth mindset affect your business, your

Unknown Speaker: 42:30

life and your business? If you're capped at your mindset

Dave Scatchard: 42:34

of what you think you business can do, or what you think you can do as a leader in your family,

: 42:40

that's it. That's where that's the max it can go. So let's uncap it, and let's imagine

Dave Scatchard: 42:46

just serving people or be an incredible leader for your family, or creating magic moments every every day, you can have a chance to create a magic moment with your kid. You can pull them aside, you can tell them how special they are. You can tell how proud of them you are. You could do something super happy, fun day, and just let them pick anything that they want to do for that day. And it's, it's no phones, no electronics. You just play

: 43:10

right? Wouldn't that be fun? How often do we do it? Almost never. You must commit, declare, draw a line in the sand and say, Enough, no more. I've got to find another way. I've got to reach another level and dig a little deeper.

Dave Scatchard: 43:30

Okay, I already shared with you guys some of my commitment stories about when I was 12, I went and played in that and the ending to that thing was, I I played good enough the first game I had an assist and I didn't die that they let me play another game. I had a goal. The next game, they let me play another game. I had to assist. The next game and the last game, I had a goal and two, two goals and one assist, and the game winning goal as a 12 year old skating for my life, trying not to get murdered. It's hilarious. You gotta be it's my one of my favorite stories in here, people have stopped me and said that story, but when you were a kid and you're playing with those old guys, it's hilarious. But let's see the commitment. When I was 16 and I almost went home,

Unknown Speaker: 44:14

I had to choose another

Dave Scatchard: 44:15

path. I had to stand up and choose when I made the NHL, I had to go from just being happy to be in the NHL, to being a leader and becoming an assistant captain in Long Island for a while, I

: 44:29

had to commit to wanting to find my soul mate and spend the rest of my life with her and give her the commitment that she needed. I had to commit to choosing to be a dad. I had to commit to

Dave Scatchard: 44:47

not ending my life and getting resourceful and traveling the world and trying to find out somebody that could help me with with what was going on with me.

: 44:58

So I committed. I. And I had to commit to rebuilding this guy, body, mind and soul. Then I started coaching. Tony Robbins is one that got me into coaching. He told me I needed a coach, so I got certified under his group. And then he said, there's 1000s of people that need you right now, and they don't even know you exist. How many people don't know you exist if

Dave Scatchard: 45:20

you're a business owner, if you're if you're in your community, how many people don't know

: 45:24

you exist. And you got good stuff you could give them. You could you could absolutely help them. You help kids, you know animals, you know the environment. You help your little neighborhood, but they don't know you exist. I'm asking you to to step

Dave Scatchard: 45:42

up. I'm asking you like I did when I decided to coach for real. I went from private clients, I was making mid six figures private clients.

Unknown Speaker: 45:52

And I said, Okay,

Dave Scatchard: 45:55

COVID is happening. All hell's breaking loose. I kept hearing this message. I needed help all the people. I said, I don't know what to do. I said, Yes, you do. Just share with you, with these people, what you do with your one on one clients. They start doing these challenges and these online trainings. People love them. They went crazy. They exploded our business and had impact. And then there were many, many people, 1000s, 10s of 1000s, that did not buy anything from me, but it didn't matter, because I gave them value, and I increased the ripple effect outside the world. So they went off in better heads, minds, mindset space and head space, and they had impact on their families and their kids, their their communities. It's a win if they invest in my product, and I got to work with them, I got to know them and appreciate them and love them. That's a win. Do you guys see like it's a win, win, win, no matter what, start living your life by win, win, win, okay, but I had to

Unknown Speaker: 46:47

commit. I had to

Dave Scatchard: 46:48

step up. I remember, I literally staying right here, and I stood up and

: 46:51

I said, Okay, I'm all in just like I did as a hockey player,

Dave Scatchard: 46:56

just as I did as an Iron Man, okay, the Iron Man race. You can't just

: 46:59

stop and quit once you start the whole thing, 12

Dave Scatchard: 47:04

hours and 54 minutes for me to finish that Iron Man, 140 miles. I never done anything at all like that. I never did a mini race. I never did anything. I did a half marathon one time

: 47:13

when I was healthy. I've never done anything since

Dave Scatchard: 47:17

so I've rebuilt this body. I decided to do the ultimate test is 140 mile race.

Unknown Speaker: 47:23

Once you're in, you're in, and

Dave Scatchard: 47:26

I just committed, in my mind, I committed 17 hours of work. I think the cutoff was like 1730 I never done any of these races, so I'm like, I don't know if i I'll be crawling across the finish line. I don't know if I'll be gonna even finish a marathon after 112

: 47:40

mile bike ride, do a 26 whatever,

Dave Scatchard: 47:43

mile run, 1.2 point something. Mile swim, I didn't know if I could do any of these things, so each stage, little steps, remember I would commit to Okay, Dave, let's finish this swim. Finish the swim in hour and 30 minutes or something, not bad. Okay, bike ride five hours and 45 minutes on the bike, 112 miles, great. Average, almost 20 miles an hour. Good. Now, never ran a full marathon in my life. So I get off the bike, I'm like, how's this gonna work? Let's see. Let's see what I'm and I had a little game plan. I didn't want my heart rate to get over 140 beats a minute, so I'd keep it between 131 40 for 12 hours. It takes four minutes. I walked through the transitions, I drank some Gatorade, I ate my nutrition. I ate salt. I had a game plan. I executed the plan. My Iron Man, coach is like and I hired a coach, right? I don't know what I'm doing. Hired a coach. I could never have done this without her. I would have ate totally wrong. I would have a way too much food. I would have been, who knows, blowouts. Blowouts happen on those races? I'm just saying all I did was drink a certain type of drink and a certain type of gel and salt for the whole day, and I was completely fine with energy. I had no cramping or anything. But I wouldn't have done that if I didn't have a coach.

Unknown Speaker: 48:54

Okay? So

Dave Scatchard: 48:57

those are levels of commitment, committing to the book. I gotta finish this book. I don't care how much it costs. I got a higher pros to come in and finish off the last bit. I don't know how to put this thing together. I got 40 something years of stories in a 240 page book. How do I do that? I don't know how to format it and organize it and all that. They did a great job. It's worth every penny. It's too common club a war. I'm like, I'm going to invest in coaching to help me learn marketing and sales so that I can win this award. I didn't even know what the award was, Okay,

Unknown Speaker: 49:27

three years ago, I didn't know what the award was, and I want it so can you guys understand how this how this makes sense. Thanks, yes, yes, yes, always. For sure, you bet pure gold. Okay, great. So,

Dave Scatchard: 49:44

number four, design your action plan. I talked a little bit about that for the race, right? The Iron Man race, we designed a plan. I knew roughly what I was going to swim. I showed up. I showed up an hour early for the race, and I and I was I was too late. I missed my starting game. Of an hour and 15 minutes. So I got stuck behind all these slow people,

: 50:02

and I couldn't pass them, but I did. I did execute the rest

Dave Scatchard: 50:06

of the plan almost to perfection. It was one of the most beautiful, magical things. I suggest everybody try something like that at one point.

: 50:14

But in your design of your action plan, ask yourself this question, okay, like you guys should be writing this down. What needs to change for you? Because the action plan that you've

Dave Scatchard: 50:25

created may or may not be working as good as it can be, so you might have to create a new one.

Unknown Speaker: 50:31

What kind of mindset do I need?

Dave Scatchard: 50:34

How do I need to look at my situation? Here's an example about perception. Perceptions everything, by the way, if I were to perceive my head injury as the worst thing that ever happened to me that stopped me from making

Unknown Speaker: 50:45

millions of more dollars,

Dave Scatchard: 50:48

then I would be sad and depressed. If I accepted a diagnosis from the doctors, I would still be crippled, okay.

Unknown Speaker: 50:56

But if I turn that perception

Dave Scatchard: 50:57

into looking back on it now saying, Thank God for that injury, because it would have kept trying to play forever. For the rest of my life, I loved it so much, and I would have never stepped into this role as a coach and as a leader and had impacted the lives that I have. It's part of my destiny. You

: 51:16

don't know how many people have called and told me that my programs have saved their lives, changed their lives. Made them better. Parents made them better. Mom better, Dad better. Businessman, I get them all the time. So

Dave Scatchard: 51:30

that's why it's easy for me to be up at three o'clock in the morning working on stuff. You know, I've just done 10 of these things for free for people, because I want to have impact.

: 51:38

I want to help them. Okay, what kind of energy you're going to need if you're doing these big things, we call it the unbound energy. If you know these big things, you have to

Dave Scatchard: 51:49

make it so big that you can't do it yourself. So we're going to bring in the unbound units, energy of the universe. One of my mentors and energy guy, Donny, he talks about this all the time, and it's so true.

: 52:00

What habits do you need? Okay, you should be writing these down. What discipline do I need? What kind of focus do I need to have or shift to? What kind of time management do I need? What kind of priorities, what kind of clarity do I need? Okay, time

Dave Scatchard: 52:20

management. Here's some tips for time management. Just bullet point is you got to prioritize. You got a time block and reverse engineer. Those are the three things I've done, some free training on time management. Some of you may have seen it. There's really powerful stuff. I got great feedback by that. So apparently time management's a thing that we need to keep coaching. And actually I put in my big life program as a good time management, piece and goal setting, piece in there

Unknown Speaker: 52:47

cultivate positive habits. How do your habits shape your life? If I were to look at you

Dave Scatchard: 52:55

physically, I can probably guess what your workout habits, workout diet, sleep habits are by looking at your body, because they're representation of the stacked habits or routines that you have daily.

Unknown Speaker: 53:12

Do you agree with me? But sometimes we don't even look at our own habits. We don't even see them. So what are some key habits, routines

: 53:26

that you could adopt today to help you move towards your big life goals?

Unknown Speaker: 53:34

And then let

Dave Scatchard: 53:35

me, let me say this too, if I had a video camera that was hanging from 20,000 feet up in the air, and it was falling around all day long, watching you, watching you in the morning, watching you in the in the mid morning, afternoon, mid afternoon, dinner time

: 53:51

and night time. What would it say? Would it say, Man, that person's efficient. That person is dialed in, they're on a mission. They will be unstoppable. Or is it saying, man, a

Dave Scatchard: 54:07

lot of wasted time. There's a lot of stupid shit in there that have nothing to do with the big

: 54:12

life, right? And you know, from from

Dave Scatchard: 54:16

830 to 930 or 10, I watch my Netflix. I'm not going to lie,

Unknown Speaker: 54:23

but I'm in action from

Dave Scatchard: 54:24

usually four in the morning until that point. Okay, and I'm not saying I got it figured out. I don't. I can be more efficient. I can be way more efficient. I'm calling myself out on this stuff too, okay, but

: 54:37

if you look at your own habits, and you see some things that you don't aren't really proud of. I would make a note of it and say, No more. I'm done. I'm done with the

Dave Scatchard: 54:49

whatever, whatever the actions are for you, laziness, sleeping in, eating shitty, procrastinating, choosing your phone over. Kid, you know, all these things that we all hate to do, but we do sometimes. Okay, let's see how to stay consistent. Okay, I Googled how long it takes to create a habit, and I've heard so many different numbers. I just want to see what Google would say. It said it takes 18 to 254, days, average of 66 days, to form a new habit. So if you're trying to get in a new routine, you can't, like, wake up early one morning and then say, ah, that didn't work. Or you can't, like, stop smoking for a day and then not like, if we're going to do new habits, we gotta, like, commit to them. So let's just focus on the number of 66 for now. Now number six navigating challenges and overcoming obstacles. How do we handle setbacks or challenges? Well, there's all kinds of stuff that happens in just for easy sake. I'll

: 55:51

mention my Ironman again. I jump in the water. It's

Dave Scatchard: 55:54

so filthy and disgusting. You came to see your hands in front of your face. I'm swimming and I'm in the wrong group, so everybody's swimming slower than me, so I just keep bumping into everybody's feet, and they're kicking you. So my goggles are falling off on this disgusting Tempe Town Lake. Two people had literally drowned there a week or two before, so I'm probably swimming dead by dead body stuff. Okay, I can't there's a right hand turn up here. I have to get by hundreds, if not, I think there's two or 3000 racers, but we all do staggered starts, but my group was way up there. They were way ahead, so they're going faster, so I'm stuck behind all these slow folks. I can't get around them. I'm getting kicked in the face. I'm choking on this filthy water, and I'm like, I might quit like this. This first five minutes of my race has not gone according to plan, and even this pro girl that won was coached by my coach, and she won, and she told me she almost quit, same exact thing in her group, in the pro group, who goes off first, she had booted in the face so hard to almost, like, knock her out, and then she's like, try not to drown. And she tried her water for like five minutes. She end up winning the race for the women.

But shits gonna happen. Guys struggle is gonna happen. So, you know, there's all kinds of things.

Dave Scatchard: 57:08

My transitions were so slow. Again, about getting changed. It was so packed. I didn't dress properly. I didn't know how I should wear my my kit underneath my wetsuit, and then just pull the wetsuit off and go right onto the bike. I went completely naked, and I was like drying off, and I wanted to be comfortable, but I didn't care about my time. I just want to complete the race. But I spent 3540 minutes in transition, which is a joke, and the next one, from the bike to the run, I dried off all again and changed clothes again. Spent about 20 minutes in there catching my breath, so I literally wasted an hour of the race, screwing around. So if I do do it again and try to qualify for the World Championships, which is a possibility, I gotta be 10 hours, so I gotta shave off over three hours of my time to qualify for the World Championships, but I know I can at least do an hour of the transition, so the rest is just probably on my run and

: 57:59

a little bit on the bike, but I'm formulating a plan. Okay? So tools,

Dave Scatchard: 58:06
