Episode 51: What Happens To You When Things Don’t Go As Planned?

On today's episode, Jerry and Jacobe will discuss scenarios in which things do not go as planned. Jerry and his family had just returned from a vacation in Florida. Jerry talks about canceled flights and how responding to situations affects the people around him. Tune in now.

 

Episode Highlights: 

• A lot of times, you have plans for what you want to do, and then you get thrown a curveball, and then you get thrown a knuckleball or sometimes a fastball.
• Jerry was on board to make his daughter’s trip exactly what she wanted it to be, and he saw a lot of poolside areas. 
• Jerry got a notification that they had a flight delay and after that got the notification that the flight was canceled but not rebooked.
• Jerry was waiting for the airline to hit the messenger, and after 90 minutes, he got another message that there would be another 90 minutes delay and those two or three hours were kind of limbo for the day and to figure out.
• Jerry shares what happened next, how the frustration built, and what they decided to do about it,
• Jacobe had a really good time with Jerry’s family there and met Holly and Cooper for the first time.
• At the end of the day, the worst thing about the trip was Cooper missed his first high school baseball game, which was the most disappointing part of it.
• When the flight got canceled, the money didn’t stress Jerry out. But he commented that there was $1000 that he didn’t want to spend.
• Oftentimes people don’t have a lot of clarity on what we want. And when you know what you want, you just don’t know how to articulate it, or you don’t think about it enough.
• The material part is an easy measurable thing to start talking about what you want.
• The idea of why Jerry wants the Rolex isn’t about the Rolex. It’s about the ability that he has created something much bigger that is going to give him the opportunity.
• Jacobe always books early flights because you have time to make it to where you are going if flights get canceled.
• Tony Robbins said that you choose whether to be positive or negative, and you have control over that.
• There are positive and negative things that happen every single day, and if you are looking for the positives, you will probably be able to rattle off tons and tons of positives.

 

3 Key Points:

1. Amidst all the chaos, Jerry spent some time alone, and realized that he needed to make this scenario best for his family and himself. It took about 1/2 hour, and he completely shifted their whole family’s mindset over the next couple of days. 
2. You can always turn a negative into a positive or positive into a negative. It is up to you to see things positively or negatively.
3. The life journey is important, and as you go into that, you are going to become who you are going to become.
