This week’s podcast guest, Alex Sheen, the Founder of “because I said I would” is also the topic of today’s newsletter story.

By applying Alex's philosophies, businesses can create a culture of excellence, accountability, and strong relationships, ultimately leading to greater success and guest satisfaction.

It is about “honoring your word” and “doing what you say you will do”. (Most People Don’t).

Alex’s simplistic message helped to serve as a beacon for me years ago when I trademarked the three words:

“Most People Don’t”

He has set the example that very simple words, when placed together, can have an extremely deep meaning and powerful impact.

"because I said I would"

Imagine my delight when we not only enjoyed a meal together, strategized, and he also agreed to be on my show.

My pursuit and goal with “Most People Don’t” at the fundamental level is to “encourage, inspire, and motivate others to take action”.

This can relate to so many things; becoming a better leader, building better relationships, accomplishing tasks & goals, by “doing what you say you’re going to do”. You CAN DO when you take an individualized approach and realize the impact of each contribution you make. It matters!

During the interview we discuss:

1. The Individualized Approach

Experimenting on yourself. Try to use the lessons that you’ve learned from others. If they work, use them to their fullest. If they don’t, move on, and try something else.

2. The Importance of Three Simple Things

Diet, sleep, and exercise for your health and well-being. Everyone knows this, but few conform and apply it.

3. Volunteering

75% of all Americans do not volunteer a single hour in an entire year. The bystander effect, “we think someone else will do it”

4. Why Your Efforts Matter

Your individualized approach and contributions add up. If we all take action, then everyone will be taking action. Don’t wait and don’t be afraid to “do something when you see something”.

"Whatever you do in life will be insignificant, but it is important that you do it, because nobody else will." -Mahatma Gandhi.

“With great power, comes great responsibility” -Voltaire and Uncle Ben (Spider Man)

How brilliant.

We, You, I can control this.

This is most likely one of the only things we can control. Our individual action (what we do, think, say, react, and feel) is something we control.
