Here is the complete transcript of the podcast
Welcome back to Success with Srini. Happy Friday to you. Friday morning, precisely Friday morning, as I’m recording this. Today on the podcast, we are talking about accountability, something that I should have done. Nearly at the very beginning when we started this podcast, which is the first of January, the last one-half months, I don’t think I ever did an episode talking about accountability, which is primary for any level of success.
So, two questions, I want to leave you with us on this podcast today. It’s a Friday, so I’ll keep it very short. The first question is this if I put a camera behind you, from the time you wake up in the morning, from the time you go to sleep, one camera is going to follow you around and is going to record everything nonstop for 16 hours or whatever number of hours from the time you wake up to the time you go to bed. Okay, I want you to tell me, I want you to imagine this for a second in your mind. And I want you to tell me, what is the final play? When do you play the recording? What will you see on that recording? This question earlier, many, many years ago, maybe 60, 70 years ago in the self-improvement space and accountability space, this question was like this. If I put one individual behind you, who will follow you everywhere you go. Then at the end of the day, what would be that person’s logical conclusion about you, your life, and your future? We live in the social media world we live in-camera world now like everywhere you have a camera, everything is a camera. So the question has changed if I put a camera behind you? What will the camera conclude? Or what will the camera record about you your life and your future? The point is, the majority of our life is the result of the actions that we take each day.
So what actions are you taking? How are you leading this life? How are you structuring everything that’s happening for you on a daily basis? On every podcast here, if you go back and you listen to every podcast I’ve done, it’s all about structure. It’s all about planning. It’s all about execution. So you listen to everything you don’t act, then I think this is the last game. Of course, the last game. Now. The second question is this. What if you lived this day? Or yesterday? Let’s take your yesterday as the average day, for the next five years to live your yesterday? What is the logical outcome? How will be your health? What’s your financial status? What’s your emotional status? What is your physical status, whatever? What will your five years from now will look like if yesterday was your average day? Now, this leads to two other questions. I want you to really think through these two questions. So what happens if somebody follows you throughout the day? What will the record about your life about you about your life and about your future? And then if yesterday was your average day, then how is your life going to be from five years from today? Emotionally, physically, spiritually, mentally, economically, all that the answer is not good. If the answer is not good, then I want you to seriously take yourself seriously. I want you to seriously take yourself seriously.
That’s a wonderful phrase right there. Okay, so the bottom line is this. It doesn’t take a lot to be successful.
But it does take consistency. The number of listeners on this podcast is fluctuating. Initially, I had a lot of listeners. And now slowly the numbers are going down. I think people are tuning out as much as this podcast is about you and your ratings and your reviews and you sharing and you getting back to me with your questions and all. But this podcast is more about my consistency. I need to be consistent on this podcast. Doesn’t matter who’s listening who’s not listening. You will listen to this podcast. Thank you. Thank you for your support. You’re not listening to it. I absolutely do not miss you. I’m serious about this. Because this is about me before it is about you. There are two reasons why people fail. Number one, they have no idea what they are doing. If that’s where you are I want to take some time. Block your Friday evening off, think through what you’re doing. Okay, build some ideas around what you’re doing. The second reason why people fail is that they don’t do things each day that will create the life they want. So it’s very simple. Take your entire day. And so many strategies I already talked about here, you know how to structure your day, but set a time, wake up at 434 minutes 430. But then set a time in the morning, where you wake up, and then decide what you want to do in the first hour and the second one, the third hour, three hours, first three hours in the day, from the time you wake up, and then take off the whole day, if you want to, just don’t do anything. If you want to just spend your time away, doing nothing to something meaningful, something that stacks up in the first three hours for the time that you wake up. Everything else is a bonus. But don’t squander away, all the 24 hours doing nothing. That’s the point.
Again, success is easy. But it demands consistency. It demands that you put in whatever is needed for you to put in, and it is going to deliver whatever you are supposed to get. And if you’re putting in the right things, then absolutely, it’s going to give you a reward you back in a very big way. I’m gonna give you one example. And we’ll wrap this up. See if you have to do 10 Push-ups now, or 10 Pull-Ups. Now, it’s very hard if you start today. But if you just do one pull-up or one push-up, and you keep adding one more push-up every week. So you do one pushup today, you do one push-up tomorrow. And one more the day after. And you do that over the next seven days. And then you go to two push-ups. And you do that for one more week. Then add one more, three push-ups for one more week, four push-ups for one more week. And you do that for let’s say for a year 54 weeks, you think at the end of the 54 weeks, you’ll get tired and possible, you’ll not get tired, you probably will compete in the most number of pushups in a day challenge. If there is one, I think there is one like that, but you get the point. So it’s all about small little tiny steps that you take in any area of your life. So at the very beginning of this podcast at the very beginning of this year, on this podcast, I talked about five different areas that you need to have goals, physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, financial, set those goals, and make one tiny step in each of these areas every day, one tiny step. And you do that consistently.
You want to become wealthy, you just say $1 a day for the rest of your life. And that $1 has to go into some investment for the rest of your life. See what happens. magic happens. And then 1020 years from now you’re the wealthiest individual around and everybody’s looking at you and saying, Oh, I don’t know how he or she made it. No, its consistency is the consistency that made it and you were consistent in taking actions. Reward consistency. Somebody asks you to say go become consistent, exactly what I’m telling you here on the podcast. I’m demonstrating that to you, hopefully, a year from now I come back and say, Listen, I had an option to drop this podcast. But I did not. I just want one year to go by doing every day this podcast without any interruptions. I’m just praying to God that just give me one year for me to do this podcast. I just like sometimes I wake up and think I can’t do this. It just crossed my mind. But then because I want to be consistent. That’s the commitment I made to myself. I want to do this.
That’s all I want to stop here. If I go any further, I’m preaching. I think the content is done. Whatever I was wanted to share with you. It’s done. So go take the tiny action now. And do that tomorrow and the day after and be consistent. Okay, bye now.
