Beginning with the captivating detail that Jacob Jones and Jon Mossey discussed the importance of taking action and having the right habits in place in order to achieve one's goals, this podcast episode explored the power of having an internal locus of control and how to cultivate confidence and success through behaviors, habits, communication, physical fitness, and ownership. Additionally, they discussed an upcoming event in Tampa Bay, Indomitable Events.com, which is for young and middle-aged entrepreneurs and professionals looking to take their mindset to the next level. Jacob and Jon also discussed the importance of making an impact and helping people, the power of authenticity in leadership, and Jacob's experience of helping a family in need. Finally, they discussed the six pillars of confidence, the importance of setting goals in the right way, and the power of taking ownership of one's life.Episode Outline:(00:05:57) Mindset Training(00:11:51) Empowering Others(00:17:43) Authentic Leadership(00:48:05) Take Imperfect Action(00:30:51) Developing Confidence(00:24:16) Building Confidence(00:00:01) Reactive vs Proactive(00:36:08) Confidence Building(00:41:35) Internal Locus of ControlQuotes:(00:17:25) And so trying to keep that up and keep up that facade is exhausting. And so, once you acknowledge that you do need help, it's a very powerful thing. And people appreciate that because it brings a level of authenticity for you. People can trust you because you're not acting like someone that's all perfect. They understand that you bleed, too,(00:48:11) Take action. The last chapter of my book, fuck Someday, is titled time to Take imperfect Action. So if it's something that you've been thinking about doing, something that you feel would be fulfilling, something that's part of your purpose, get started on it today and you're going to make mistakes. But imperfect action is going to trump the perfect, best late plan in your head any day of the week.(00:28:00) Confidence is credibility with yourself. And so setting your goals the right way so that they're moderately challenging, so that you're moving the needle but not making them too challenging to the point where you're falling short and feeling like you fail all the time, it's finding that moderate middle ground. It's extremely important in terms of how you set things up.(00:04:06) It's better to be a warrior in the garden than a gardener in the war.(00:20:36) And so to be able to understand the mental processes behind that, that's going to give you more control. That's tools that you can have regardless of what avenue in life whether you're going to be a psychologist or, like I said, a businessman or a personal trainer or a firefighter, I mean, there's psychology in everything that you can use to help yourself and to help other people.(00:36:36) It's the behaviors and the habits that you have to do and just consistently enough and like I said, with confidence. You do these things day in and day out. You feel you have credibility with yourself and confidence, just like interest is going to compound and you start to see, if I did this, maybe I can do this and it just snowballs.(00:10:00) My argument for that is that it's just the opposite. Not giving other people the best version of yourself. That's the selfish part.(00:42:52) But by looking at it and saying, hey, what could I have done differently in vetting that partner, in making these decisions and doing these things, that's the only way I could affect change for us.(00:33:26) But if we think to ourselves like, okay, well, if someone is treating me that way, is that a happy person? And then we realize the whole idea that hurts people, hurts people. And then you go from a point of being angry and upset and wanting to wish for that person to be hit by a bus to having empathy for that person.Blog Post:It's no secret that having the right habits in place is essential to achieving your goals. We all know that it's important to take action and to have an internal locus of control, but how do you actually cultivate the confidence and success you desire? Jacob Jones and Jon Mossey recently discussed this topic on the Green Light Theory podcast, and they explored the power of behaviors, habits, communication, physical fitness, and ownership.Jacob and Jon discussed an upcoming event in Tampa Bay, Indomitable Events.com, which is for young and middle-aged entrepreneurs and professionals looking to take their mindset to the next level. The conversation then shifted to Jacob's experience of helping a family in need. Trey, the person heading up the project, told Jacob that he couldn't buy a table for the family because it would not teach a lesson and he was not there to be the savior. Trey gave Jacob a book called When Helping Hurts to help him understand the situation better. Jacob and the family's fourth grader, along with his two brothers, mowed lawns to earn money to build a table for the family. Jacob noticed the family's eyes light up and the boys beaming with pride when they saw the table they had built. Jacob realized that his good intentions were actually bad in this scenario, and he needed to shift his paradigm.John then discussed his six pillars of confidence which are goal setting, self-talk, habits and behaviors, communication skills, physical fitness, and ownership. He emphasized the importance of setting goals in the right way and making sure to have victories built into each day. Self-talk is the internal narrative and attitude that one has about themselves, the world, and the future. John also discussed the importance of making an impact and helping people, the power of authenticity in leadership, and the power of taking ownership of one's life.Jacob encourages listeners to take action and not delay on something that lights them up. His book is titled "Fuck Someday" and the last chapter is titled "Time to Take Imperfect Action". Jacob emphasizes that taking imperfect action is better than having the perfect plan in your head. He encourages listeners to take the things he discussed and put them to work, learn them, and immerse themselves in them. He encourages listeners to share what they learn with others. Jacob encourages listeners to find the green lights in life and skip the red lights.There is no magic solution to achieving success and confidence; it requires hard work and consistent effort. Communication skills are important for setting boundaries and protecting one's time and interests. Physical fitness is important for developing discipline and confidence, as well as for demonstrating to others that one is capable of taking care of themselves. Taking ownership of one's life is essential for understanding cause and effect relationships and for realizing that one is an agent of change. Luck is not a factor in success; it is up to the individual to take control of their life and outcomes.Jacob Jones and Jon Mossey have provided invaluable advice and insights on the power of having an internal locus of control and how to cultivate confidence and success through behaviors, habits, communication, physical fitness, and ownership. By taking action and implementing the pillars of confidence, you can take ownership of your life and create the success you desire.Resources:Connect with Jacob JonesLinkedInConnect with Jon MosseyInstagramWebsiteIndomitable MindOther MaterialsThese materials help you promote your podcast.

We heal in community. We heal in community. It is so important that we get back to the community.(00:18:48) But I am very interested in getting into the corporate space. That's my next step. That's why I'm here. That's why you and I connected.(00:46:19) Nothing goes when we go, so make sure you pass it on to somebody else. Because together we can skip those red lights in life and cruise through green light after green light after green light.(00:40:40) What if two-year-olds were our wisdom teachers? I think that would be great. Honestly.(00:12:23) And I just started getting up on microphones and doing it in really messy and in really uncomfortable ways where people would be like, what are you doing? And some people are like, wow, you're really good. Some people are not listening at all and not noticing.(00:03:20) I began being the creator of my life.(00:37:24) Men in today's society are shut down from [intuition]. Shut down. So not your fault if you're lacking empathy. If you've ever been called a narcissist and you're questioning where your empathy is, congratulations that you have empathy that you want to grow. And that that's there.(00:31:12) Breath is life.

One of the things that he learned when he first started out in solar was that every "no" is closer to a "yes".

Despite growing up in a challenging environment, he didn't let his circumstances define him. Instead, he chose to focus on gratitude and finding joy in the simplest things in life. One of Earl's biggest influences was his grandmother, who taught him how to cultivate a spirit of gratitude.

The real deal when it comes to bringing in those leads and making your business look like a million bucks. And then some. He's got the secret sauce to take your business from 0 to hero, making it cooler than a polar bear's toenails if you catch my drift.[00:05:02] I went from 0 to 7 figures in our first 15 months. I followed the money because that's I came from medical to buy sales where I was making a bunch[00:06:03] I've always told folks that, man, anybody can go out and have a good week, a good week of production. They can have a good month, a good quarter, or man, even a great year. But what the hard thing to do is can you stack it for a decade. Can you sustain that greatness over the long haul?[00:10:08] The more you level up, the more you have to say no. It's not the destination. So how are you staying laser-focused on making progress every day even if that progress doesn't lookAll Quotes[00:05:27] It's been a wild journey in 3 years. I also own a couple other companies that we turned into companies from those initial websites[00:00:41] This guy's a digital marketing maven. The real deal when it comes to bringing in those leads and making your business look like a million bucks. And then some. He's got the secret sauce to take your business from 0 to hero, making it cooler than a polar bear's toenails if you catch my drift[00:07:41] And so over the course of the last 2 years, as I started to make that transition, it's really just been an eye opening experience to help me understand where I invest utilized and wear my skill sets and and what I'm more passionate about doing as well versus thinking that I just have to do everything to do everything and Man, it's crazy to to think to go back and and think about the things that I used to do[00:09:17] I'm focused on does this align with my core values and does this align with me being a whole well-rounded leader[00:06:03] I've always told folks that, man, anybody can go out and have a good week, a good week of production. They can have a good month, a good quarter, or man, even a great year. But what the hard thing to do is can you stack it for a decade. Can you sustain that greatness over the long haul?[00:06:54] I was thinking so short term, which got me into a really big bottleneck 9 months in. I was in a tough spot where I'm I'm either gonna shut this thing down and just go work again for somebody else, or I'm gonna have to build out this team in processing systems, which is when I made the transition over to height[00:08:15] I would say that probably the biggest piece is just understanding where you're at and where you're trying to go. Like, if you're trying to just be a solopreneur and there's nothing wrong with doing that, you just need to be okay with doing that. That's not what I wanted to do, but I was doing the solopreneur runabout ways for far too long[00:01:14] Man, I've been on a lot of podcasts, but that has to be probably my favorite introduction, and the best way I've ever been introduced on[00:13:23] When you start to think about the big picture as far as, like, who you infinitely are with your purpose, with your commitment, the journey is actually more fun than the actual destination 99.9 percent of the time[00:09:29] I had no core values for myself, and I had no core values for my business until about a year and a half in[00:12:45] So I started trying to go after the big macro goals with a bunch of micro steps along the way, understanding that it's not always about the destination either because everybody thinks once I have x dollar amount in my bank account, once I win this award. Once I do x, y, and z, life is just going to be better[00:14:07] Somewhere along the lines, they taught us that having an idea equals having a goal And then we wonder, man, why do we never hit it?[00:10:08] The more you level up, the more you have to say no[Unknown] It's not the destination. So how are you staying laser-focused on making progress every day even if that progress doesn't look perfect?[00:12:27] When you have those things in place and you track those metrics, which I was not doing in the beginning, you start to understand that even the little bit of progress you're getting is light years ahead of where you at whenever you started whatever it is you're talking about[00:05:02] I went from 0 to 7 figures in our first 15 months[00:03:03] In that first full year, I ended up making about 200 k. And I had everything that I thought I was ever gonna want[00:02:29] I managed a territory here in Saint Louis, and most of Missouri. So I managed about a 25000000 dollar a year territory, did that for about 3 and a half years, and ultimately in the midst of getting engaged, realized that I had just gotten promoted into the the level of that I wanted, like, 5 to 10 years down the line[00:04:49] I followed the money because that's I came from medical to buy sales where I was making a bunch[00:03:37] I need to figure out something that I can make an exit out of medical sales in the next 2 yearsBlog PostArticle 1: The Entrepreneurial Mindset with Adam McChesneyIn this episode of the Greenlight Theory, Jacob Jones welcomes Adam McChesney, founder of Height Digital and host of the Entre Brewer podcast.

I mean, I'm the motivational firewood guy because if I share some information and you add it to the spark you already have and you create a result, we win.[00:04:03] Without vision, the people perish.[00:01:17] If you print out everything you just said and put macaroni and glitter around the edge of it, my mom will probably hang it on her fridge.[00:05:37] Ask people.

And if you even think of a couple of the categories I mentioned out of the 8. What do I really want my life to look like, feel like sound like smell like like in 1 year in any 1 of these categories?[00:06:34] You probably paid 25, 30 dollars to go to an event whose marketing said Hey.
