Slow Down to Speed Up & Mastering the Art of Efficient Progress | Nick Bare

0:00Fidelity Active ETFs have the flexibility to shift and transform as markets do the same. So instead of just riding an index, they can seek to outperform it by adapting to market conditions and pursuing new opportunities as they emerge. And while you get the potential outperformance of an actively managed fund, you can still buy and sell it on your terms, just like any other ETF. Markets can change in real time. Make sure your ETF can, too. Learn more at fidelity.com slash active ETFs. Before investing in any exchange-traded fund, you should consider its investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses.

0:37Contact Fidelity for a prospectus, an offering circular, or if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully. While active ETFs offer the potential to outperform an index, these products may more significantly trail an index as compared with passive ETFs. ETFs are subject to market fluctuation and the risks of their underlying investments. ETFs are subject to management fees and other expenses. Fidelity Brokerage Services, LLC, member NYSE, SIPC. Hi, my name is Lewis Howes, and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

1:12What are three skills you wish you would have learned before entering the Army?

1:16Nick Bare:The power of true delegation and elevation. You know, being a doer, wanting to lean in and work on things that you can do because you believe in yourself. It's great for the short term, but it's unsustainable. I've had to learn that in business over a long period of time, that there is so much power in delegation and empowerment. When you empower people to do a job, give them more responsibility, more accountability, people thrive. They thrive in empowerment. That is part of building an amazing team, culture, and brand. I'd say the second skill is patience. How much patience and how do you handle that in front of yourself and in front of others?

2:08Nick Bare:Do you have a lot of patience? I do now. And certain things I do now. Building a business has taught me a lot about patience. Running marathons has taught me a lot about patience. You're not going to get there fast. You're going to take it easy slow and steady, yeah. You know what's funny is when I first started running marathons, if I had a seven-mile easy run for that day, I'd go run that seven miles as hard as possible. Running marathons you can apply to a lot of parts of life. My triathlon coach would respond to my stories before I started working with her. And she would say, you're running too fast.

2:44Nick Bare:You're running too hard. You're not going to get faster. Interesting. so I decided to work with her help me get to where I want to be so she's telling you need to run slower in order to be faster right so we sat down we talked she said I understand what you're trying to do you know you want to get from point a to point b as fast as possible and you would think that running those seven mile training runs as fast as possible will correlate to running a really fast marathon, but it doesn't. What you need to do is you need to run below your max aerobic heart rate. You need to run truly easy. You need to be in an aerobic state.

3:22Nick Bare:You need to run slower to get faster. Why? Because you're building this foundation. You're building a strong foundation that you can build a house upon. If you lay no foundation, no aerobic foundation, you can't get faster. All these track workouts and these speed workouts and these tempo workouts, they mean nothing in a marathon because you're not building it on top of this foundation. 26.2 miles is a long time to hold a certain heart rate and a certain pace. To run slower, you lay this foundation, you lay this base, and it's strong. It's bulletproof. Then you build upon it. That is patience.

4:02Nick Bare:That is having the patience to run slower in order to get faster. You're taking a step back to get two steps forward. You apply that to everything, your life, everything. Without patience, you're struggling. The third skill, it is similar to the two. And it is that you can go really fast alone, but you can go so much further together. I learned this by leading a platoon. I learned this in ranger school. You learn a lot about yourself. You learn a lot about other people. A few years ago, I did the Leadville 100 ultramarathon in the Rocky Mountains of Leadville, Colorado. It starts above 10 ,000 feet of elevation, and it's a brutal course.

4:44Nick Bare:That's one of those races that certain people can do by themselves. But me, I needed support. I had a crew that would go from checkpoint to checkpoint, and they would tape up my ankles. They would feed me. They'd fill up my water. And we titled that documentary, More Than the Miles. Yes, it's going from point A to point B. but what you don't see is what gets you there it's the support it's the people it's the distance that everyone else achieves and goes through a lot of people realize at some point in their life that you can go really fast by yourself by yourself as fast as possible gets you to a certain point but for longevity for endurance for durability a group of people will go so much further you know I apply that now to building my family and building my business and team.

5:38Nick Bare:It pays off because there's no way I could get my business now, the point it is, by myself. It's here now because of the people involved.
