is why do leaders hide from funding their vision?
I think one of the reasons for that is that the leaders are,
I think they're scared that their vision is actually not going to work or it's not going to come true.
So they're afraid to invest in it.
I've been in that position myself where I was afraid to either invest,
well, it was either financial capital or it was time.
I think they're both valuable.
And I would not, I hesitated from investing in the project
because at the time I didn't believe that it was actually going to work.
And sometimes it didn't work and other times it did.
So, you know, we don't always know the outcome of how something's going to turn out,
but that's the gamble. That's the risk of life.
You know, there are no guarantees.
So you have a vision for something that you want to achieve either, you know,
if I don't follow through with that vision to achieve, call it the big dream,
I think somebody else will, you know.
But yeah, I think the, you know, we're going to hold back from funding the vision
until we can actually make ourselves believe that, yes, it is possible.
But we also need other people on board as well, you know,
whether those are supporters, people who are going to be helping us to build the project or build the dream.
We need to have other people to help us with this as well.
So it's not just a one-man show.
That is awesome, Scott. Thank you for sharing that.
Okay. So what is your goal for being on the show, Scott?
Well, I love the concept of the show, like the vision for us.
I love the concept of actually, like, vision building is one of the things that I think is,
it's a skill you can develop,
but I want people to understand the power behind having a vision.
And, you know, I spend a lot of time doing, like, meditation as well.
And what I'll call creative visualization is actually what my meditation is really about,
where I'll spend 10 or 15 minutes every night, yes, looking at my vision board,
but just sitting down and closing my eyes and visualizing how I want things to materialize in the future.
So I'm really big on future building.
And for me, the best way to do that is to build a vision for that.
And I'll add one more thing to that as well.
I also have something called an anti-vision, which I got from Dan Coat, one of my mentors and coaches.
And the anti-vision is really powerful because having a vision is a great thing,
but then there's always the question of what happens if, you know, I don't follow through with my vision?
What happens if I don't pursue my dream?
The anti-vision of that is becoming the worst version of myself
and not having that dream come true.
So I just thought I'd put a little spin on it there.
But that's something else that I find is very motivating is to have, you know, you've got the vision,
you've got the anti-vision, and they can both be very powerful.
That is amazing. So you have, like, hey, I know what I want to become,
but I know what I don't want to become. So you put that right there here.
So is that something like you're always looking at as well, like, hey, I don't want to become that,
so it's motivating you?
It is.
Yeah, so I don't want to get to the end of my days and look back and have those regrets of, you know,
those are the things that I could have done that could have made a difference, and I didn't do them.
So my goal for being on the show, the other goal is actually just to, you know,
teach that philosophy as well if we have the time for it and you're open to it.
Yep. That is awesome. That is awesome.
So I think that's all I need from you, Scott. That is amazing.
I'm glad that we had this conversation, and I'm pretty sure our audience will benefit from being with you.
So sweet.
I'm going to send you a link.
Any episodes you guys usually record a week?
Pre-shows, I want to say maybe 20 pre-shows a week, and our Vision Pros podcast is booked out,
I want to say two or three months right now.
So yeah, we are pretty, yeah, there's a lot of things moving right now.
Perfect.
All right, so I sent you this first link.
The second link I'm going to be sending you,
would you like us to introduce you to other podcasters that are in our network that shake on the same vision like us, and there's like 15, 20 of them?
Yeah, actually, I'm looking to build out my schedule for July. I've got a pretty full schedule in June so far. I do about 15 interviews per month.
Try to keep it to that just because of for time, but sure, if you have a network you can introduce me to, that would be great.
That would be awesome. I'm going to also send you a third email.
In that email, Jackson literally says don't invest in Facebook ads unless you agree to watch the whole video, so feel free to look into that.
All right, will do. Perfect. I think I sent you all those emails. It was great having you on the show, Scott.
Also, before I end this conversation, so you have a wonderful vision, Scott, right?
And so if someone wants to, someone's inspired by your vision and they want to go search you, right?
We're going to have a page for you, like a landing page. Do you have those some of those nice phrases that people can click on to go reach you?
Yeah, the phrases, are they referring to links to back to the like I have two websites and yeah, people can.
Basically, like a long tail keyword that we just use specific pages, your newsletter, your books or something like that. You have those, right?
Oh, yes, I do. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, if you like, I can send you over some of those links.
That would be amazing. If you do you have our Teams link or like a platform or like an email that you can send directly to or do you just have my email?
I think I have the one that you were sending to my calendar here. So it's the PR at firstclassbusiness.io. Is that the main?
Yeah, you can send that to that. That'd be awesome. Perfect, Scott. That's amazing. Thank you so much, Scott.
You have any questions for me before I end the conversation?
I think I'm good. I'll take a look at the emails, Bill. I will. Yeah, I will build out the, sorry, I'll schedule the call and then anything.
If I have any questions, I'll be sure to let you know. That is amazing. All right, sweet Scott. All right, you have a wonderful day, Scott. Yeah, you too.
Thanks for having me. Time to go. Take care. Bye. You too.
