00:00Have you ever been at the edge of something new, something exciting, but also terrifying because you couldn't predict the outcome?
00:12We've all been there. We love the idea of growth and success, but the unknown? That's something sometimes we'd rather avoid.
00:21Yet it's in this uncertainty that lies the greatest potential for breakthroughs.
00:26In Price Pritchett's book, You Squared, chapter six invites us to walk straight into that uncertainty and instead of fearing it, embrace it.
00:36It's a powerful concept that can completely transform the way we pursue success.
00:42Today, I want to take you on a journey through this chapter, showing you how to harness the power of the unknown for your greatest growth.
00:51Now, Pritchett tells us that success doesn't come from sticking with the familiar or following predictable patterns.
00:58If you want extraordinary results, you must step into new territory, into uncertainty.
01:06Why? Because uncertainty brings possibilities you've never seen before.
01:11Think about it. The breakthroughs that changed the world didn't come from playing it safe or staying within known boundaries.
01:19They came from innovators stepping out, taking risks, and embracing the unknown.
01:25Now, how does this apply to your life?
01:28You know, to achieve something extraordinary, you must push beyond the limits of comfort.
01:34Success isn't hiding in the places you've already been. It's out there in the spaces you haven't explored yet.
01:42Now, one of the key lessons of chapter six is that control is largely an illusion.
01:48We spend so much time trying to control every little detail, believing that certainty will lead to success.
01:56But the truth is, trying to control everything can actually block us from achieving more.
02:03Pritchett points out that you don't need to know how things will unfold.
02:08You just need to trust that they will.
02:12The more you try to control, the more you limit yourself.
02:16So instead, let go. Trust the process. Move forward even when you can't see the entire path.
02:24This is where true success happens.
02:27When you release the need for control, you allow your life to surprise you with opportunities you couldn't have imagined.
02:35And you know, often the unknown triggers fear.
02:40We think, what if I fail? What if things go wrong?
02:44But Pritchett flips this thinking. Fear isn't a warning to stop.
02:48It's a signpost telling you that you're on the verge of something significant.
02:53Fear doesn't mean you should retreat. It means you're about to grow.
02:59And when you feel that fear, instead of pulling back, ask yourself, what incredible breakthrough might be waiting on the other side?
03:09You know, your fear is simply an invitation to step into the next level of success.
03:15So don't run from it. Recognize it for what it is.
03:19The precursor to a new you, to a new possibility, or to your greatest success.
03:27So U squared is all about achieving exponential results.
03:32Making quantum leaps, as they say.
03:35And what Pritchett emphasizes in this chapter is that these leaps require a mindset shift.
03:41You can't think like your current self and expect to get to the next level.
03:46You must think bigger, act bolder, and embrace uncertainty as a natural part of the journey.
03:53You know, quantum leaps don't follow a linear path.
03:57They happen when you make bold moves, trust your intuition, and let go of the need for step-by-step certainty.
04:04This might feel risky, but remember, all great success stories started with someone who dared to take a leap into the unknown.
04:13And what's the takeaway from chapter 6?
04:16Well, success doesn't live in the land of certainty.
04:20It's not about being found by playing it safe or trying to control every detail.
04:26It's waiting for you on the other side of uncertainty, just beyond the fear.
04:32Just past the point of where you feel most uncomfortable.
04:37And remember, it's in the unknown that breakthroughs happen.
04:41Fear is just a sign that you're growing.
04:44And control is something you never truly had in the first place.
04:48So the question isn't, should I step into the unknown?
04:52But rather, what incredible thing is waiting for me after I do?
04:57And today I ask you to embrace the unknown.
05:01Step boldly into uncertainty.
05:03Trust that your leap will take you exactly where you're meant to go.
05:07Because success is waiting for you, right where you least expect it.
05:13And you know, that's the message of chapter 6 of You Squared.
05:17They're asking us to lean into uncertainty and trust that something amazing is coming.
05:22Keep this in mind.
05:24As you face your next challenge, you'll find that fear of the unknown quickly turns into excitement of the new possibilities.
05:33If anybody can do it, you can.
05:36I'll be back tomorrow. We'll discuss chapter 7.
