1 Thing You Can Do This Week That Will Always Make You Seem More Successful
Stop Announcing
Put down your trumpet.
Cease clapping your hands to your own beat.
Let the braggart be silent.
Don’t share your plans
Why?
Your plans are susceptible to chaos, the natural order or the fact that you may sleep through your alarm clock.
Hush. Please don’t tout your prowess.
There’s always someone better than you.
There’s always someone more talented.
Endurance and Humility
What makes quality rise to the top is its endurance and the blessing of humility, which allows other people to lift it up instead of needing to put it down because it’s pompous and arrogant.
And please, for the love of God:
Stop proclaiming your purpose
Your purpose should be obvious as the fruit of your work. Telling people what you intended to do does not qualify for actually doing it.
If you simply stop announcing your great battleplan for your life, then you will be able to acknowledge the small victories instead of having to win every single conflict to prove your point.

G-Pop wants to share a pair of principles with his children. Even though they are very simple, he wants to take a minute to review them, along with some of the attacks that have risen.
1. Do good work.
Seems rather logical, doesn’t it? But we’ve replaced this sentiment with other thoughts we think are the same:
- “He has talent.”
- “He’s on a learning curve.”
- “She had a bad day.”
- “He was overwhelmed.”
- “She misunderstood the assignment.”
Do you see? Good work consists of:
A. “This is what needs to be done. ”
B. “This is how I’m going to do it.”
C. “This is the finished product, just as promised.”
America is sacrificing quality in the pursuit of making everybody feel good about themselves. It is important that sometimes we feel bad about ourselves, so some ultimate improvement can come of it.
2. Make your work look easy.
We pride ourselves in expressing exasperation, anger and exhaustion over our jobs. Work plus complaining is not only ineffective labor, but it’s unacceptable because it taints the environment.
Just think how productivity in America could jump simply by declaring war on too many opinions and too much bitching.
It all revolves around the fact that we think we’re too important. So when we fail, we want everybody to agree that given the circumstances, they wouldn’t have done any better.
So G-Pop thinks we should return to this pair of principles:
Do your work well
Make it look easy.
If a plumber is charging me $40 an hour, I do not want him to return in three hours with sweat on his brow, explaining what a difficult job it was. I will never hire him again.
He needs to return in forty minutes–with a smile on his face, listening to my gratitude and saying, “No big deal. It’s my job.”

G-Poppers … December 29th, 2017

G-Pop sits quietly in front of his computer, musing over the topic he has selected for today.
What is the best way to discuss it?
It’s a very important subject, but like many matters that carry weight, it can seem too heavy and not that interesting. Yet to pursue activity without understanding how the climate of Earth really works can truly be frustrating.
So let us begin with this–a simple saying: Take a minute to find your hour to make your day.
Somehow or another, the misconception that we can get nine, ten, or fifty things accomplished within a 24-hour period–with the same efficiency for each endeavor–has left us stressed, with the nasty sensation of being overly busy.
Earth functions on scientific biorhythms. What does that mean>? There are things going on other than your plans and G-Pop’s plans and if we can get into the hum and energy of one of those rhythms, our ideas have a greater chance of being accomplished.
It’s nice to have an agenda, so you can look at it and realize what you might wish to accomplish. But some time during each day, there will be a minute when you realize what your best hour is for making your day complete.
Just because you plan it on Wednesday does not mean that Wednesday will tolerate you doing it. You can try to force it or manipulate it, but Wednesday may not want to do what you thought Wednesday should do.
It is at that point that we should take a minute to realize that this is not the hour to pursue.
Although many people are afraid of “cutting too soon”–missing a great opportunity to succeed–the greater danger is pushing too hard and losing the energy of this day over an idea whose time has just not come.
How do you know what is the right minute to find the hour of this day?
1. If a second problem pops its head up to challenge the possibility, then it’s time to regroup.
One problem can be an obstacle, but a second problem is often a warning that other difficulties will follow.
2. Passion is low.
We’re human. Therefore, we run on emotions, and even though we may think we can control them, they actually dictate our energy and our desire. Trying to force people to be passionate is emotional rape. It makes them feel defiled and gives them a sense that their ideas are not honored.
3. Stubbornness is the best way to fail.
A certain amount of evolution is necessary on Planet Earth, since the planet has been birthed by evolving. In other words, the process has not stopped. If you are not ready to evolve, then you will purposely walk into repetition which has proven to produce extinction.
Find the minute for the hour to make the day.
It’s not so much that we work too hard–but much of our work is meaningless, and therefore feels futile, which makes it seem much harder.
Work less.
Listen more.
React to the energy of those around you, the marketplace you are pitching and the Earth where you live.
G-Pop wants his children to know, when you are faithful to the hour, you will rule in the day.
