4th and 1 Mindset with Coach Mikki:
Move the Chains: Why Doing the Same Thing Never Works - S2E13
Ever feel like you're trapped in a cycle of doing the same thing over and over, wondering why progress seems impossible despite your best efforts? Coach Mikki tackles this universal challenge head-on, revealing why Albert Einstein's famous definition of insanity, doing the same thing repeatedly while expecting different results, remains one of life's most powerful yet overlooked lessons.
Through compelling football analogies that anyone can understand, Coach Mikki demonstrates how we often run the same ineffective plays in our lives, businesses, and relationships, then wonder why we're perpetually stopped at the line of scrimmage. The defense knows exactly what's coming because we've become predictable, comfortable in our patterns despite their clear ineffectiveness. The solution isn't complicated, but it requires courage: we must recognize our stagnant patterns and commit to trying something anything different.
What typically holds us back isn't knowledge but fear of the unknown.
Coach Mikki acknowledges this fear while emphasizing that uncertainty is an unavoidable part of growth. Even the best-executed plans can encounter unexpected obstacles, yet this shouldn't paralyze us into inaction. By taking that first step outside our comfort zones, committing to new approaches, and surrounding ourselves with supportive people, we create momentum. Each small victory moves the chains forward until we reach our personal end zone of success. Stop overthinking what might go wrong, make those necessary changes, and watch as extraordinary possibilities unfold in your life. Ready to break free from routine and transform your results? Coach Mikki shows you exactly how to make it happen.
For Coach Mikki's book - 4th and 1 Mindset
Okay, bring it in. Bring it in, listen up, listen up, listen up. So do you find that you're doing the exact same thing every single day? And then you're wondering why you're not getting different results. Do you feel like the chains in your life are just not moving? Well, you can't do the exact same thing and expect different results. Albert Einstein said doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is insanity. And really it is.
Speaker 1:So let's try to picture this. What if I went out on the field and I ran the exact same play over and over and over again, and I did it all game time? Well, what do you think is going to happen? The defense is going to know exactly what I'm going to play, so they're going to stop me right there at the line of scrimmage and we're never going to move the chains. It's just not going to ever happen.
Speaker 1:Well, that's what happens in life, whether it's within your business, whether it's in your relationship, whether it's just with everything that you're trying to do for yourself. You're just going through the motions. You're just kind of like an autopilot. You're not actually making changes to move along, to make something different. You have to start recognizing what are the things that you're doing that are the same same thing over and over again. Now it's never easy coming up with a new play because you're like, well, what do I do? Where am I going to go? The difference is is, if you already know what's not working, then doing anything different is going to give you a different outcome. You have to look and see what is not working and then go from there.
Speaker 1:I know sometimes uncertainty can be a little scary and I know it's unpredictable, but when you want to really make significant change in your life, you're going to have to take that risk and then just deal with it. It's not that difficult to say, okay, I'm going to make change, I'm going to take one step and then I'm just going to put it forward. What holds us back is just the fear because of the unknown. We don't know where it's going to take us. We don't know what's going to happen, and the uncertainty can be a scary thing. But I'll tell you right now, you're never going to get something. That's going to be. This is going to be a positive result of what's going to happen or this is going to be absolutely the outcome. That's just not the way life is we could do things that we think are great and do everything and give it everything we got, and it still goes haywire.
Speaker 1:I ran some of the most well-executed plays and I've ran some of the most well-practiced things that we've wanted to run. And we get out on the field and the defense throws us something completely different that we didn't expect. And that's just the way life is. You're going to come against a defense that you don't know what they're going to do, but that doesn't mean that you have to keep running the same play over again because it's comfortable. You have to go out there and take a risk. You have to do something different.
Speaker 1:You know we always get scared. We have to step out of our comfort zone, but you have to do something that's fresh. You have to take a fresh action. You have to decide on that new skill, on that new commitment, on something else that's just going to take you out of the old routine. You can't allow fear to keep holding you at that line of scrimmage. You got to change the momentum and you just got to keep going and you're going to start to see the chains move. They just will. And the more they move and the more steps you take, the closer you're going to get to your end zone of success.
Speaker 1:You know we got to stop looking at what's not going to work and why is it working. And you just got to go out there and do it and you've got to make those changes. I promise you start changing these plays in your life, start surrounding yourself with a team that's going to support you and bring you to that end zone of success, and you're going to start to see extraordinary things happen in your life. So go out there and start strong and finish strong and dominate everything in between. I'm Coach Mickey, let's go.
