All right. Before we really dive in, let's talk expectations. Never assume always agreement. Okay. So right now we're going to get a couple of assumptions out of the way. We're going to make a few agreements.
Number one, I can change your life, right? A few years ago, I talked to my mentor, Paul Reddick. And I told him, I said, Man, you changed my life. And he said, No, he's Muncie. All I did was teach you to think differently. I changed the way you think you did the rest.
Okay. It and that's so true. You know, yes, he did help me a ton. But I had to do all the work. I had to show up and do all the things that made all the things right. I'm going to help you.
I can do a whole lot to get you on the right path. But ultimately, you have to do the things. Okay. So let's get that agreed upon right now. No guru, no seminar, no workshop, no book. No, nothing.
No, no thing, no nothing can do the work for you. Okay? But I will do everything in my power to point you in the right direction to help you upgrade your hardware, your software, your energy, all the things to make your computer in this analogy, the best that it can be right? Second one, all progress starts with the truth. Okay? If you lie to yourself, if you lie to me, if we lie to others, we cannot have the relationships we want.
We can't have the business we want. I can't dig in and help you if I don't know what's going on. So, one of the other agreements that we have to arrive at here is that you're going to be brutally honest with yourself. You're going to convey that honesty to me, and I will be brutally honest with you when I need to be in order to help move you forward. Right. All progress starts with the truth.
When you're at a better human workshop, and this is a good point, to mention this because I haven't mentioned it yet, the slides that I use to present at the better human workshop are available to you. You can download those, you can go through those kind of concurrently as we go through these videos. But if you're at the workshop, there would be a slide up here right now, that would be a picture of Will Ferrell from the movie, old school with his wife at marriage counseling saying, we're in the trust tree with the nest. As part of this, all progress starts with the truth. We have to feel safe. We'll talk about this later.
But Google has done a study where the highest performing teams all have psychological safety. If you don't feel like you can be safe in this environment, then you're going to be guarded. You're not going to be honest. And as we've already discussed, if you're not honest, we can't get to where we need to get we can't move forward. We can't make the progress that we want. So you're in the trust tree With the nest, you can be honest here.
As a matter of fact, if we're not honest, then we're not going to be getting the progress and results that we want. Okay, one more thing to add to this conversation here is think about everything that we are going to learn and go through as a tool that we can put in your toolbox. And I want you to think of yourself as the master craftsman. In order for somebody with this massive toolbox to be considered a master craftsman, we are assuming that they know how and when to properly we'll each of those tools, they have to know the application, they have to know how much pressure, all the things that go into, you know, getting the desired result out of that specific tool for the right job at the right time, right. Just because something is in our toolbox doesn't mean we always need to use it.
There will be tools in there that we use. Rarely there will be tools that we use often Everything that we're going to be talking about is a tool in your toolbox. My goal is to help you become a Master, master craftsman. So you know when to use each of these for what application why you're doing that. And so this falls back on what we talked about already with that responsibility. If you have questions ask.
That's it. So, assumptions and agreements are out of the way. It's time to dig in. We'll see in the next video.
