You just, you know, \u2018What am I going to do now?\u2019 and everything you do is perfect. Now you don\u2019t have to live like that, and you might find that you resist it every five seconds because you\u2019re like, \u2018Now I\u2019ve got to create a problem. I\u2019ve got to create that there\u2019s somewhere else to get to and I\u2019m not there.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Client: I\u2019ve already got a pretty good list of those.<\/p>\n<p>David: Yeah, you already got that.<\/p>\n<p>Client: I already tell everyone. That\u2019s how I talk, \u2018I just have t o get to June. I just have to get to September. I just have to get to December.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>David: \u00a0Yes, so you\u2019ve played that game for a while. My invitation to you for this week is to play this other game called That\u2019s Something I Made Up, and for this week, \u2018I don\u2019t actually have to get anywhere. I give myself permission to play any games I want to play, including sending out flyers.\u2019 It doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t be in action. That\u2019s a completely separate conversation. You know, when you\u2019re out for a drive in the country, you can drive fast at times, and you can say, \u2018Hey, where is this place on the map? I might go and check that out and have a cup of coffee.\u2019 You can still do stuff if you want. The difference is you don\u2019t have to. It\u2019s all a bonus. You\u2019d actually be taking on that this week where everything you do is perfect, and you actually cannot make a mistake even if you try; the mistake is perfect. That\u2019s a big gift to give yourself, and I don\u2019t know if you want to give yourself that, but do you want to take on that game?<\/p>\n<p>Client: Okay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The following is an excerpt of an actual transaction between David and a client in Top Coaching Techniques.
