3 Top Takeaways from the Extraordinary Mel Robbins at BluePrint

June 24, 2021 Mindset

Most of the time at our events, I’m on stage and I’m the teacher.

Which I love.

But I also love the role reversal when I’m able to become the student while our keynote speakers hit the stage.

And that’s exactly what happened at our recent BluePrint event with guest speaker Mel Robbins.

I was watching her speak and taking tons of notes.

And today I’m sharing three of my top takeaways from Mel’s powerful talk.

Mel Robbins Top Takeaway No. 1: What’s Your Bias Toward Action?

One of the themes I talked about during BluePrint was that 10 percent of success is knowing why to do something and how to do it. The other 90 percent – the real heavy lifting – is actually doing the work.

Mel hammered this point home in her own way.

She talked about those who say, “I know what I should be doing, but I’m just not doing it!”

Sound familiar?

At one point in her life, Mel ultimately realized she had become the biggest roadblock to her own success.

So she created The 5 Second Rule, where she basically says to herself, “5-4-3-2-1 Go!” and then jumps into action – BEFORE her brain can talk her out of it.

The 5 Second Rule became what she calls a “bias toward action” that gets her moving.

Whether you adopt Mel’s 5 Second Rule or find your own methodology, I fully agree that you need that hook that will stop all the hesitation and second thoughts – and launch you into action.

What’s yours? If you don’t have one, find it!

Mel Robbins Top Takeaway No. 2: Be Where Your Feet Are

Mel did a phenomenal job of incorporating questions submitted by attendees into her content, and one question in particular stood out when someone asked how they can achieve balance while still performing at #Level10 in all areas of their life.

Mel’s reply? You can’t!

It’s impossible to be a #Level10 at everything. You’re expecting too much of yourself, she said.

Instead, she advised that person to “be where your feet are,” meaning being present in the moment and giving your all to whatever you’re doing.

On a semi-related question more specific to business, she said to focus your attention on the things you’re good at doing… and for the rest, always be asking yourself, “Who can I hand this to?”

She talked about accepting the fact that you can’t do it all on your own. Your focus should be on the activities that grow your business and make you money. Then hire around you – delegate! – to make sure all the other necessary tasks are being handled.

Mel Robbins Top Takeaway No. 3: The Importance of External Self-Awareness

Mel talked about how there are two different types of self-awareness – internal and external.

For you as a salesperson, the external one is especially important.

She said it basically boils down to this question: Are you aware of how others view you?

Lots of traits factor into that equation… your tone of voice, your body language, how you come across, etc.

The key, Mel said, is to seek feedback from others so you can work on those blind spots you might not realize are holding you back from more fruitful relationships.

I especially loved this powerful question she advised asking those around you: “How can I be better for you?”

Who will you ask that to?

These were just three takeaways among many great points Mel made in the 90 minutes or so we spent with her.

I’m super pumped to share some of the outstanding speakers and features we have in store for you at Success Summit in October. Stay tuned because we’re getting close to being able to make some exciting announcements!
