Listen up. I'm gonna give you some real talk today about something that's been eating at me. About how you handle your bad days. About the people who believe in you. And about the obligation you have to show up. Yeah I have bad days too. Days where I don't want to get out of bed at 6 AM. Days where I walk into my office and just don't feel like getting shit done. You know what I'm talking about because you're human just like me. Here's what I need you to understand. There's nothing wrong with having a bad day. Nothing wrong with feeling off sometimes. That's not a problem you need to fix. That's not an area of growth you need to work on. Sometimes everything is already okay with you and you can still feel these ways. But there's a threshold. A line you cannot cross. Because when your bad day becomes a bad week or a bad month, that's on you. That's a choice. That's you being lazy. And that lazy choice becomes pure disrespect to everyone who believes in you. When you allow yourself to stay stuck in that bad place for weeks or months, you're disrespecting every single person who chose to believe in you. You're disrespecting the obligations you chose to take on.Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanSubscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLIN

What truly determines success in creating lasting change? Contrary to popular belief, it's not motivation, willpower, or even your inherent abilities. The research reveals something far more fundamental: your ecosystem shapes your outcomes far more than your genetic makeup. Your zipcode matters more than your genetic code. How do we shape ecosystems that bring the best in us? From Silicon Valley entrepreneurial ecosystems to Blue Zones where centenarians thrive. The social dimension of change proves particularly powerful, with studies showing proximity to high performers can boost your productivity by 15%, while nearby low performers can decrease it by 30%. When designing for sustainable change – whether for yourself, your team, or your organization – we often focus on motivation and clear communication. But what happens when energy wanes, time disappears, and routines get disrupted? This episode introduces the critical concept of "guardrails" – systems designed specifically to prevent failure when people are at their worst. Ready to transform how you approach change? Discover why social accountability outperforms willpower, how to design ecosystems that naturally encourage positive behaviors, and practical strategies for creating guardrails that catch people when they fall. Whether you're a leader driving organizational transformation or someone committed to personal growth, these research-backed tools will fundamentally change how you approach the change process. Listen now to build systems that make change stick – even when the going gets tough.

The podcast episode discusses the advantages of User Generated Content (UGC) as a viable income opportunity compared to traditional network marketing models. It highlights how UGC allows creators to earn directly from brands without the need for recruiting or achieving specific sales metrics.
**Key Points:**
- **Direct Payment for Content:** Creators are paid upfront for their videos, eliminating the need for conversions or clicks to earn money.
- **Skill Development:** UGC helps in developing marketable skills such as pitching, editing, and speaking confidently on camera.
- **Income Potential:** Many have achieved significant earnings in a short time, with some reaching six figures within a year.
- **Freedom and Control:** Creators have more control over their brand and the types of content they produce, aligning with their personal values and interests.
- **No Need for Large Followings:** Unlike network marketing, UGC does not require a large social media following to be successful.
