"Isn't all practice intentional?"
"EVERYTHING is a F*cking STORY" a recent #1 Amazon Hot New Release.
EVERYTHING is a F*cking STORY debuts as a "prequel" and completes a "trilogy" MG never knew existed. Martin began writing The Habit Factor® shortly before 2005; it was published in 2010. Then, in 2015, The Pressure Paradox™ was published.
EVERYTHING culminates nearly 20 years of deliberation, collaboration, and meditation, all in the pursuit of deconstructing human behavior for the purposes of goal attainment.
In this episode, MG shares a quick story from a recent consultancy project. Martin was hired to help create some scripts based upon The Habit Factor's P.A.R.R. method for habit development and goal achievement. (Since there is an NDA that is all he can share about the project.)
A script involving the term "intentional practice," was being reviewed and an associate asked, "Isn't all practice intentional?"
It's a great question and the answer is nuanced. In short, YES and NO.
There are degrees to practicing relative to its intentionality. The more specialized a practice becomes, the more intentional it becomes.
The real takeaway for the listener is this: "Intentional" and "deliberate" practice (as they are synonyms), can and should be used to cultivate both HABITS and SKILLS!
In fact, that is the premise of The Habit Factor's P.A.R.R. methodology: One can intentionally practice positive habits in order to cultivate them and achieve their goals more quickly.
Enjoy the show!

"Zigging while others zag ensures extraordinary results. That's both the risk and the reward."
"EVERYTHING is a F*cking STORY" a recent #1 Amazon Hot New Release!
EVERYTHING culminates nearly 20 years of deliberation, collaboration, and meditation, all in the pursuit of deconstructing human behavior for the purposes of goal attainment.
EVERYTHING is a F*cking STORY debuts as a "prequel" and completes a "trilogy" MG never knew existed. Martin began writing The Habit Factor® shortly before 2005; it was published in 2010. Then, in 2015, The Pressure Paradox™ was published.
In this episode, MG reviews how language guides us toward insights about topics and problems we want to learn more about and solve.
When it comes to achieving extraordinary results, it's clear the requirement is to have behaviors and habits that are out of the ordinary. Thus, "extra-ordinary." Of course, these extraordinary results could be undesirable as well.
Either way, exceptional and extraordinary results come from doing things out of the ordinary.
Martin shares how he used the same language discovery process when writing The Habit Factor®.
A critical insight was observed, the Latin root of HABIT is, "HABIT-US," essentially meaning "condition and/or character."
Martin then shares a remarkable story recounted in The Pressure Paradox™ about concentration. One of the greatest tennis players of all time, Rod Laver, provided key insights on the topic.
Rod explains to Martin that he "just happened to play his best when it mattered most." Martin asks Rod to clarify exactly how he managed to "play his best when it mattered most."

"EVERYTHING is a F*cking STORY" a recent #1 Amazon Hot New Release!
EVERYTHING culminates nearly 20 years of deliberation, collaboration, and meditation, all in the pursuit of deconstructing human behavior for the purposes of goal attainment.
EVERYTHING is a F*cking STORY debuts as a "prequel" and completes a "trilogy" MG never knew existed. Martin began writing The Habit Factor® shortly before 2005; it was published in 2010. Then, in 2015, The Pressure Paradox™ was published.
In this episode, MG reviews the magical concept of time. How time is both real and important sometimes and unimportant and illusory at other times. MG reminds listeners that there are at least four prior episodes on TIME at https://podcast.thehabitfactor.com/?s=time
Jim Rohn, the late great personal development legend, used to say, "The good news is you will arrive ten years from now. The question is, where?"
Quickly reflect on yourself – your being – at the ages of 5, 15, 25, 35, etc. You'll notice one thing immediately; you are in a perpetual state of becoming. You are perpetually transforming as you develop new skills and habits.
Few organizations are more goal-oriented than NASA. Yet, what do they do when they miss a deadline for an important launch – a goal date? They certainly don't freak out. They don't panic, and they don't abandon their goal. They just reset the launch date.
You should be setting and adjusting your goal deadlines similarly. The most important thing is to be ON THE PATH!
When you're moving toward your most important goals and ideals daily, you're on the path. This adds immense value to your life and others as well as purpose and meaning.

The military and business franchises are great examples. Both embody the "3 Circles of Behavior Echo-System" perfectly. Each reveals how crucial it is to frame one's behaviors with a supportive environment and narrative to foster new habits and skills.
"EVERYTHING is a F*cking STORY" a recent #1 Amazon Hot New Release!
EVERYTHING culminates nearly 20 years of deliberation, collaboration, and meditation, all in the pursuit of deconstructing human behavior for the purposes of goal attainment.
EVERYTHING is a F*cking STORY debuts as a "prequel" and completes a "trilogy" MG never knew existed. Martin began writing The Habit Factor® shortly before 2005; it was published in 2010. Then, in 2015, The Pressure Paradox™ was published.
Unfortunately, many thought leaders in this personal development space define "systems" as a "series of habits." That is incorrect. A series of habits is a ritual, not a "system."
Two fantastic examples of systems in action are business franchises and the military.
Each, by design, bookends their employees'/soldiers' behaviors with essential core narratives (values, meaning, purpose, mission – see the inner concentric circle in the image above) and a supportive environment (see outer concentric circle).
Together those components equate to a "system." That system helps to forge behaviors into new habits and skills.
Each organization then aligns their employees'/soldiers' behaviors to their respective goals to make them remarkably effective!
Each reveals how YOU can and should implement the "3 Circles of Behavior Echo-System" to design the new habits and skills that will help you to achieve your most important goals and ideals.
Grunburg's new book, "EVERYTHING is a F*cking STORY," presents a new, paradigm-shifting behavior model that anyone can use to change their stories and habits to redirect their lives.
STORY is at its core and reveals how human thoughts and behaviors’ echo’ and ‘reverberate.’
Older behavior models are complicated and represent human behavior linearly.
Human behavior vibrates. Our thoughts, feelings, emotions, and behaviors produce a “vibe.” These “vibes” influence how we behave.
There’s a reason people say things like, “I like the vibe here,” or “that resonated with me.”
Environments, thoughts, feeling, and behaviors influence each other.
Dr. Peter Chee, founder of ITD World, one of Asia’s largest executive coaching and training firms, shares, "Grunburg's 3 Circles of behavior model is paradigm-shifting – it's helped to transform our executive coaching. Because of EVERYTHING, we teach, coach, and train: Change your story, change your habits, change your life."

"Martin may be the best-kept secret in the world of behavior change. His work on habit is intuitive, practical, and impactful. In this book, he correctly highlights our natural drive for storytelling and how we can direct the stories we tell ourselves. This change in narrative is at the heart of personal transformation. Grunburg’s approachable prose and flow shows much wisdom and is straightforward to apply. I hope more people learn about these ideas and about Martin in the coming years!"

Powerful! As founder of the world’s largest entrepreneurial organization (EO), a recurring theme—a pattern—reveals itself among the most successful entrepreneurs: They have the habit of driving a hopeful, optimistic narrative—a compelling STORY—not just for their companies, but for their lives, families, and in many cases, their communities. Every entrepreneur’s journey begins and ends right here!
