Description
Do you ever wonder what you’re most incredible self is truly
capable of, if you were giving half the chance? What you could do,
build, achieve, design how you could thrive or shine, if only there
was a way!
Well if this sounds even remotely like you (and this means
pretty-much all of us) then do we have the show for you!
Today we’ll be talking with Bernie Roth, cofounder of the
Stanford D. School, one of the world’s pioneers in robotics, and
the primary developer of the concept of the Creativity Workshop.
He’s one of the most empowering people you’ll ever meet, and he’s
also the best-selling author of one of my NEW favorite books on
achieving your dreams, called, The Achievement Habit
Well today we’ll talk about moving past the what if’s and the if
onlys…SO you can stop wishing and start doing, and take command of
your life to achieve goals you once never thought possible.
That, plus we’ll discuss the power of crap-ups and why streaking
may be the greatest thing in the world!
Questions and Topics Include:
What is the D School at Stanford?
What is the Achievement Habit?
Getting the best out of what you have
People feel better and accomplish things
One group saved 75,000 kids
Help people own their projects, so they’re only pass/fail, do,
or not do…
Changing Yoda – There is no Try only Do
Do = Power vs. Try = Force
If really want to get something done, you’re not trying you’re
doing
If you want to try you’re efforting, but if you do, it’s often
less effort than the trying.
Example he uses: try and pull a water-bottle from my
handle
How to go from Trying to Doing and why Reasons are Bullshit
Excuses get in the way of doing
Needing a reason to be reasonable
Keep calling yourself on your excuses!
The GOOOOOOOD exercise
An exercise to point out the BS
Paying attention to the opposites
Why the opposite of what is said may be the truth
How do we get unstuck or go to a higher level
Discusses meeting with Microsoft
If you solve the wrong problem it’s not going to help you.
To get unstuck figure out what the real problem is.
Students went to Myanmar to help farmers pump water, but turns
out it was the “wrong” problem, the “right” problem was a need for
light and how much of the farmer’s income was coming from burning
extremely unhealthy and expenisve kerosene lanterns and
candles
How to change your self-image to a doer and an achiever
First, you give everything in life it’s meaning
Achiever in Google Who felt inadequate – have to get past it
Do this by doing something one step at a time
Get yourself a goal and do it, don’t try to do it, do-it.
Avoid the idea of pipe-dreams.
But if really want to do something, need the intention to do
it, and the attention to get it done (Intention Followed by
Attention)
Friend (Harold) who loved Russian Cossack Uniforms
Became an example of doing, rather than trying
Have to commit or it may not happen
Difference between trying and affirmations
Affirmations are funny
Two kinds of Affirmations
Bernie is the handsomest man – the affirmations you don’t quite
believe, but people believe the negative stuff about them
Need to get the world to give you the signal
Get this by doing and succeeding
The Gift of Failure & The Bias Toward Action
Don’t sit around thinking about making a move, when you get an
idea, make a move!
For example, if you want to ask someone for a date, don’t sit
around wondering for 3 months, but ask her for a date.
May work, or may not, but will get to the end and find some
success much sooner than sitting around wondering about it.
Michael: The Million Dollar Demo
Has a class called Launch Pad – You do what the design thinking
methodology helps you do. Have to make income w/in 10 weeks.
Students from India came in with an ipad ap idea.
Turned into an incredibly successful idea – a 90 million dollar
idea!!!
Human nature don’t want to do it until perfect
It’s okay to make a mistake, it’s a fantastic way to
learn.
