Keep moving forward...1% more per day

00:03 Welcome to the Team Super Dad weekender. My name is Jonnie Jensen. We're part of Team Superdad. Tonight, we're talking about the 1% difference that will keep you moving forward. How do we do this? Just spent the evening watching the football, sad to say, with my good friend and former podcast host, former, well, it's more like a sabbatical, but Glenn, my co-host of the wrap-up. And as he showed me around his new house, he was talking about doing a 1% improvement each week. And that got me thinking about tonight's content. So sit back, relax, join in the comments if you want. Let's do this.

00:46 Welcome to Team Super Dad. Real dads creating their best lives ever. More time, more money, more fun. You are not alone. You're on Team Super Dad. Hey, gang. Welcome. Week two. Can we keep this up? 52 weeks. We're two in. If you're a maths expert, you can tell me what percentage two is of 52. I don't know. Can't be that hard, can it? What's 1% of 52? 5.2? What's 2% of 52? 10.4? Is that 10%?

01:26 No, it can't be. Two weeks, 10%. I guess it is. Yeah, there you go. Anyway, I hope you've had a good week. I hope you've had a good week. It's Sunday today. It's been absolutely manic as usual. I've cooked, ironed, cleaned, watched football, exercised, cleaned boots, been to dance, and managed to watch Tottenham. And here we are doing this. So I hope you've had a good Sunday, let alone a great rest of the week.

02:02 If you're watching live, then you can join in on the comments. Pretty much most of the socials where you're catching this, you'll be able to comment and I'll see it coming in here.

02:47 And if you particularly want the one-on-one coaching, then just hit me up at Team Superdad and we can talk about that. Or you can comment, comment below. But I was with, as I was saying, Glenn, if you haven't listened to the wrap-up, I guess it was over the lockdown that we did the wrap-up. It's not finished. It's just Glenn got very busy at work. I got very busy here with Team Superdad. We both met wonderful women. And so like things have moved on in an exciting way. And I was at Glenn's house for the football. Yes, I'm a Spurs fan. It wasn't a great day.

03:24 Kind of knew it anyway. On a positive note, they did say in the commentary that it was the first time or Arsenal hadn't won at Spurs in nine previous visits. So I'm going to go on the law of average that tonight was just about the law of average and forget all the other stuff. But having a beer with Glenn, hanging out with the good lady Katie, seeing his new house. And as he showed me around, Glenn happened to mention about 1%, the 1%. Making a 1% improvement. If you've ever moved house, you'll know it seems never ending. Just like, when is the day that that last box gets emptied?

04:05 Glenn's got like 100 kids as well. So there's a lot of challenges there, right? Anyway, as we walked around, Ben talked about the 1%. He said, yeah, we're going to make 1% improvement, 1% improvement. Now, I talk a lot about the 1% improvement inside of Team Superdad and the coaching. And the reason it's so powerful is if you make a 1% improvement each day, that's a 37 times multiple by the end of the year. So you'll be 37 times further ahead, 37 times better off than you were at the start.

04:44 And if you made a 1% improvement each week, I'm told, because I couldn't work this out mathematically wise, but you can make a 4.9% improvement on the year. So that seems lovely, sounds fad, but then what would that really mean in reality? Well, imagine imagine you. you had, if you talk about health and fitness, right? Imagine you were 4.9% faster, like your 5K. Imagine if you could knock 5% off your 5K time. That's probably more than you could possibly hope to do. If you could lift 5% more or do 5% more press ups. If you were 5% thinner around your waist, you start to realize, okay, that sounds like an interesting concept, let alone 37 times more something.

05:28 If you want to earn more money, could you double your salary? Could you 37 exit? Probably not 37 exit. But it does start to make you think about what could I do to consistently move forward. And there's a concept about compound leverage, more to do with saving money, really, and investing. But Darren Hardy's got a great book where it very much talks about compound leverage. Like what will happen if you keep doing something 1% better or a little bit more each day? That consistent improvement. James Clear, atomic habits, like habit stacking.

06:06 When you start to put the building blocks of a habit in place, not only does it impact and create a positive result in that area, but you start to create a momentum, an intentionality, like that level of focus, the results, the money, the people you're involved with, your fitness, whatever it happens to be, that continuous improvement forward. You can't help but leave the old behind as you move towards the new. So it's also good for your mental health, right? It's good to know that you are moving forwards towards a goal, towards something specific that you want.

06:51 We talked about fulfillment loads of times. If you want to feel fulfilled, you've got to have a clear idea of where you're headed and know that you're moving towards it consistently. That's the secret to fulfillment. Also, making small adjustments, maybe moving forward in small numbers is much more manageable. It's less daunting than trying to set a big, hairy ass goal. And so the same goes with giving stuff up. You know, if we're talking about habits, I've given up coffee. Do you know what? I haven't given up coffee. I've given up caffeine for January. I'll probably make it February as well because Lent rolls around pretty quick after that. And I always give up coffee and chocolate for Lent, but

07:34 that's a subject for another day. But some tips on making a 1% improvement each day is what we'll come to about that. But the benefits, right? If we talk about your health and your wealth and relationships, benefits towards your health of making a 1% improvement each day. It's when you like, how are you actually going to achieve that? You've got to adjust your environment. You might have to make things be a bit more organized. You're going to have to be more consistent in your planning. You can't keep moving forward if you're disorganized and decluttered.

08:13 You might need to change your environment so that you're more organized at home, so that you shop on particular days, so that perhaps you delegate out some of your jobs, some of your things that take time, like ironing and cleaning today. Could I delegate that out to other people? So in doing all this, we start to not only buy ourselves more time, but we eliminate distractions. We get more focused on what it is we're headed towards and not weighed down by doing the little things. So those, you know, in regards to your health, that mental health part, by the way, if you want to comment, then you can just get involved in the comments. On most channels, I will see them.

08:59 Yeah, it reduces your stress. So if we're talking about health, being more organized, reducing your stress, being more focused, being consistent around getting up, about what you eat, about the time you take to do things. This can't help but free up time and energy. If I think about this weekend, I've literally driven around Maidstone like Mario and Luigi. So wealth, what about wealth? Well, a 1% improvement in your finances. That's probably going to look like getting more organized with where your money's going.

09:38 So in order to do that, you might need to create a cash flow. Inside of the power code, the training inside the Hero Academy, having a weekly cash flow is absolutely vital, keeping on top of your finances in terms of, you know, because your expenditure, where's the money going? terms of your income like what is it going to take to make that continuous improvement well some of us are so busy we don't even get around to coming up with new ideas we don't even play with the idea of what could we do to create more money what could we do to improve our business like

10:14 we start to get more creative when we're focused on having a plan sitting down each week even if you challenged yourself to come up with 10 ways you could make more money 10 ways you could attract more customers 10 ways you could be more cost efficient when you challenge yourself to be one percent better each day which for the people that are just joining us that's what we're talking about here is about the benefits of being improving yourself just one percent more each day you can't help but move forward so like we were talking about wealth if you challenge if you're saying right how am i going to move forward you've got to keep coming up with new ideas that simple um setting yourself that challenge like doing this every week setting yourself like

11:00 without fail i am doing this you can't help but stretch yourself you can't help but end up talking about it which will attract more people towards you this is the power of moving forward this is the power of a positive momentum and in relationships when you decide you're going to improve something it it's it should what's the expression it goes without saying there we go why couldn't i think of that i was thinking about something about standing like stands without question which isn't really a saying at all but it goes without saying that if you're going to improve your relationships with

11:41 then it's going to require you to have a look at yourself we're getting fit and healthy if we're looking at our finances it requires you to look at yourself and how you're being what you're doing and then what the impact of that is so if you want to improve your relationships one percent a day or one percent a week then you're going to have to take a greater deal of responsibility for how you're showing up you're probably going to need to have more meaningful conversations with the people around you to to bring them closer to wipe away to to deal with friction tension upsets

12:23 but but in doing so it's exciting like you're gonna like imagine you sat your partner down your wife your your girlfriend and actually spoke to them about how's this going what could we do to i'm committed to making this this whole thing that we are somewhere between 39 which is one percent improvement each day and 4.9 which is one percent improvement each week i'm between those two numbers i'm committed to making this thing that we have that much better what if you said that to your parents to your brother to your wife partner to your kids like like not as a heavy conversation but make it into a game you're going to talk to your kids about right what could we do this year to have 39 more fun

13:13 10 times more fun than we did last year what would that look like for you what would you like to do so it's it should be exciting and and it should also avoid you getting stuck in a rut and and and ultimately looking inward on yourself as some sort of problem things aren't working when you commit yourself to a one percent improvement each day or one percent improvement each week you are literally raising the bar on what you can and should expect of yourself and the experience you have in this in this

13:48 life and that ultimately is what everything i talk about is it's about it's about creating the life you want rather than feeling stuck in a life that you've no idea how it bloody happened but i can tell you how it bloody happened complacency not stretching yourself not having a clear plan not working out what it's going to take to drink three liters of water a day like go and buy a bloody water that's that's a bottle that says one liter on it and drink it three times practically it's that simple so which i guess it boils down to positive habits and routines which

14:31 with my with my fitness high rocks coming up in april um it's going to take that each day getting up at the right amount of time last year i did the fitness challenge of exercising every day i'm way off that at the moment and the number of press-ups i can do sit-ups i can do the speed i can run it's all way back back on where I was. So, yeah, a 1% improvement. That's the kind of daily commitment it's going to take. And I've got until April to make it happen. What could you do? I would love to know. Either post it here. Ah, we do have a comment here. Probably fucking the King Cassian is spamming me with some.

15:15 What's he even offering me? Some promo bullshit. Thank you, King Cassian. You can save that for someone else. Thanks very much. What could you do? A 1% improvement in your life? Okay. In your health, in managing or making more money, managing your money, making more money, or in your relationships? Like, keep it that simple. Get a piece of paper out, three categories, circle in the middle, and start to just come up with ideas. And then when you've got 10 of them, put it to one side, come back and do another 10 next week. Laugh at the crap ones, get inspired by some of the surprisingly random good ones.

15:57 Where could you take this? What could you do?
