Excerpt from Book Chapter 1: Who Do You Want to Be? 1 Who Do You Want to Be? I believe that having questions is better than having answers because it leads to more learning. After all, isnt the point of learning to help you get what you want? Dont you have to start with what you want and figure out what you have to learn in order to get it? --Ray Dalio, author of Principles: Life and Work and investor, on 2012 Time list of worlds 100 most influential people Michael Douglas, playing Gordon Gekko in the 1987 film Wall Street , says to Bud Fox, played by Charlie Sheen, "And Im not talking a $400,000-a-year working Wall Street stiff flying first class and being comfortable. Im talking about liquid. Rich enough to have your own jet." Some people read that quote and say, "Making $400,000 a year and being comfortable sounds like a dream come true." Some say nothing at all and claim they have no interest in material things. Others pound their chest and scream to the heavens that theyre going to have their own jet. What matters to me is what you think, since all your choices will be dictated by where you want to go. Whether its a high school student asking for direction or a CEO running a $500 million company, when someone asks me a question, I respond by saying, "It all depends on how honestly you can answer this question: Who do you want to be?" In this chapter, Ill guide you to answer that question with clarity. Ill also show you how to go back to the blackboard of your life and set a new vision for yourself that will fire you up and set you in motion. Ill show you why making a plan and committing to it will unleash all the energy and discipline youll ever need. Answer Questions to Reveal Your Deepest Desire Nothing matters unless you understand what makes you tick and who you want to be. Far too often, consultants and influencers assume that everyone wants the same thing. When Im speaking to a CEO or a founder, I start by asking questions. Before making any recommendations, I gather as much info as I can about who the person wants to be and what he or she wants out of life. I understand that not everyone knows who he or she wants to be. Its normal not to have all the answers immediately. Remember that this question--and every move in this book--is a process. All the examples I give and stories I tell exist for you . Theyre meant to get you to reflect and better understand yourself. If you dont have a clear answer at this point in time, youre in the majority. All I ask is that you keep an open mind and keep reading with the goal, in due time, of answering this question. The purpose of this Move is to identify what matters to you the most and help put a strategy together that fits your level of commitment and vision. I may influence you to question certain decisions or ways youll go about fulfilling your vision, but its up to you to decide to stretch yourself and think bigger. Who do you want to be? As you continue to ask yourself this question, your answer will determine your level of urgency. If you want to build a little mom-and-pop corner store, you dont have to treat business like war and you can be laid back in your approach. If youre looking to disrupt an industry, youd better be armed with the right story, right team, right data, and right strategies. Really take the time to get clear about your story--exactly who you want to be--or you wont be able to soldier on when things get tough. And in business, things always get tough. Make Pain Your Fuel I could sit here and tell you about the life that you may live one day. Talking about the cars, the jets, and the celebrities you meet all sounds wonderful, but first things first. You are going to have to endure more anguish than you can imagine to get there. Those who can tolerate pain the most--the ones with the most endurance--give themselves the highest chance of winning in business. By the time weve been on our own for a few years, many of us have become cynical. Its an ugly thing, but Ive seen it happen too often. We all have big dreams growing up, and we make a lot of plans for ourselves. Then life gets in the way, the plans dont happen the way we thought they would, and we lose faith in our ability to focus on who we want to be. You may not notice it, but it also hurts your ability to make your next moves. We may even start to think, "Hey, whats the point in saying Im going to do something big if Im not going to follow through? Better to just aim low and play it safe." The only thing separating us from greatness is a vision and a plan for achieving greatness. When youre fighting for a cause, a dream, something greater than yourself, you will find the enthusiasm, passion, and joy that make life a great adventure. The key is identifying your cause and knowing who you want to be. In the summer of 1999, I was twenty years old and had left the army. My plan: to become the Middle Eastern Arnold Schwarzenegger. That June, I felt certain I would become the next Mr. Olympia, marry a Kennedy, become an actor, and eventually govern the state of California. As the first step in my plan, I got a job at a local gym, hoping to be noticed as soon as possible. At the time, the biggest fitness chain in the area was Bally Total Fitness. With the help of my sister, I got an offer from a Bally in Culver City. It had to have been the smallest and most antiquated Bally location in the state of California. Despite the less-than-ideal circumstances, I was promoted and transferred to the largest Bally gym, which happened to be in Hollywood. My plan was working! Because I kept getting better at selling memberships, I was making $3,500 a month. Compared to what I had made in the army, it felt like millions. One day, my supervisor, Robby, offered me an assistant manager position at the Bally in Chatsworth, thirty miles outside Hollywood. He wanted me to turn the club around; it had been hitting only 40 percent of its monthly goal. I didnt want to go to Chatsworth. I wanted to be a weekend manager in Hollywood, a position that paid $55,000 a year. Robby promised me that if I turned things around in Chatsworth, the job would be mine. The only other contender for it was a longtime employee named Edwin. As long as I outperformed him, I could bank on becoming the weekend manager in Hollywood. Fast-forward ninety days. We were able to turn things around at the Chatsworth club, taking it from 40 percent of the monthly revenue goal to 115 percent. I was near the top of the leaderboard companywide, well ahead of Edwin. When I got a call from Robby to meet, I assumed that corporate must be pleased. My plans were coming together. I was going to meet the fitness legend Joe Weider, be spotted by a major Hollywood agent, get my acting career off the ground, and meet a Kennedy. I can vividly remember the anticipation I felt that afternoon before my meeting with Robby. The moment I walked into Robbys office, I knew something was off. This wasnt the same guy who had promised me the position if I outperformed Edwin. Thats just paranoia, I reassured myself. Give him the benefit of the doubt and hear what he has to say. "Patrick, Im so proud of the performance you and your team put up the last ninety days," Robby said. "I want you to stay there for another six months and take the Chatsworth club to the next level." "What do you mean?" I asked. "I made it very clear that I wanted the weekend manager position in Hollywood." That position, he said, had already been filled. At that point, my blood was boiling. I couldnt believe a grown man could look me in the eye after going back on his word. I had been so focused on beating the goal that I hadnt put any thought into what I would do if it didnt work out. Whod gotten the position? You guessed it: Edwin. Why? Edwin had been with Bally for six years; Id been there for only nine months. Never mind my accomplishments, kicking Edwins tail on the national leaderboard. Never mind that, according to objective data, I had earned it. In fairness to Robby, he wasnt being unethical. Because he had to follow marching orders from corporate, he was being political. In many ways it was a blessing to learn at a young age that corporations have agendas and that advancement is rarely based on merit alone. Robby could tell I was furious, and he asked me to step outside to cool off. I walked to the parking lot and tried to think. I imagined how these events were going to dictate the rest of my life. I played the movie in my mind, and I just couldnt accept how it would end if I accepted Robbys decision. I didnt realize it then, but I was already processing my next moves. The only challenge was that I was reacting to someone elses move rather than executing my own. I walked back into his office and asked him if the decision was final. He said it was. At that point, I looked him in the eye and told him I quit. Initially, he thought I was kidding, but I was confident about my decision. Whats the point of working somewhere that doesnt give you a clear direction on what you need to do to advance in the company? Why put myself through the misery? It was at that moment I realized I could not live another day with my destiny in someone elses control. I wasnt thinking like a winner at that point in my career. Given my inability to think more than one or two moves ahead, I was still an amateur. As a result, I was petrified. Driving home, I felt as though Id made the worst Details ISBN1982154810 Author Greg Dinkin Short Title Your Next Five Moves Pages 320 Language English Year 2021 ISBN-10 1982154810 ISBN-13 9781982154813 Format Paperback Subtitle Master the Art of Business Strategy DEWEY 658.4012 Publisher Simon & Schuster Place of Publication New York Country of Publication United States NZ Release Date 2021-07-22 US Release Date 2021-07-22 UK Release Date 2021-07-22 AU Release Date 2021-07-06 Publication Date 2021-07-22 Imprint Simon & Schuster Alternative 9781982154806 Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
