It didn't mean anything was really wrong. They had a little bit of an outburst. I'm sure they got together. You have an honest conversation. You have a transparent conversation. You have a meaningful conversation. And then from there, you find greater connection. And then you walk away as one team. I had a coach and a Super Bowl incredible player quarterback, right?

Struggling during the year a little bit. Got together, had a heart-to-heart about their fears, the expectations, what the world was looking for, what the world was expecting. Fear of not meeting those expectations, got together, talked it out. From that moment on, they were now one team working together. And then they wind up doing amazing things, win a Super Bowl as a coach and as a quarterback.

So that's the power of those kind of moments of coming together after maybe a fight. But I think what happens so often is you have a bad moment. You have a bad game. You have a bad sales call. What happens with a bad sales call? Okay, you have one bad sales call. You're in a low state of mind. It doesn't go well. You get rejected.

If you're in a low state, now you start going, what's wrong with me? What's happening here? Oh man, my future is gone. I'm going to lose all this business. I'm not going to reach my targets. I'm not going to reach my goals. And all of a sudden you get lower and lower

in your state of mind because you have more clutter, more thought, more revved up thinking, which lowers your state of mind and causes separation. Now let's look at a mind that has a lot of clarity. Let's look at a mind that is a high state of mind. There's less thought. There's less clutter. There's more focus. There's more positivity.

I always draw two circles for people and I do this in the book. Three circles, a thousand dots in one circle, a circle with three dots in the other, which mind will perform at a higher level. The one with the three dots, not the thousand. So that salesperson who made, the call and it didn't go well, who's rejected now has a thousand dots and they're reeling and they think something's wrong.

So now they move into a slump, more fear, more insecurity. The person who that has, that has it happen when they're in a high state and something happens where they get rejected, like, ah, whatever. I'll make the next sale, let's go. Because they're in a high state and they move forward. So it wasn't the rejection, it was their state of mind.

So just understanding this allows you to move forward in a more positive way. And the key is you're on that rollercoaster and you're going down the rollercoaster in a low state. And so often you want to jump off and you want to escape when it's not going well. Or you have revved up thinking and that makes you want to jump off even more. Key is, no, just realize what's happening.
