1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,600
Tell me about your vision.

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:05,760
Well, my vision is to, in my business,

3
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:07,960
to build up the media side of my business

4
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,240
and continue to grow and scale.

5
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:15,680
And my ultimate goal is to write a million dollar

6
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,880
check to help kids.

7
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:20,520
That is amazing.

8
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:26,200
You said to build the media side of your business.

9
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:27,640
What is your business?

10
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:29,960
Yes, so I have two sides to my business.

11
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,360
I'm a business coach and consultant.

12
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:38,480
But I work with everything from the business revenue models

13
00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:42,680
to marketing, sales, building a team, scaling,

14
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:43,600
the whole gamut.

15
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:48,280
I'm an A to C entrepreneur and coach and consultant.

16
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,600
The media side of my business, though, is my expert in you

17
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:52,080
brand.

18
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:53,320
It's my podcast.

19
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:54,080
It's my book.

20
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,400
I just launched a brand new expert in you magazine.

21
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:03,120
And we also do offer done for you content services,

22
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,520
writing people's books, getting them featured in the media.

23
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:11,120
So that is an agency side that I have in my business as well.

24
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,000
The interesting thing is I don't market

25
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,560
both of those businesses really because they feed each other.

26
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,120
That is amazing.

27
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:20,840
And the second vision you mentioned

28
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,160
was you want to write a million dollar check.

29
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:24,760
Tell me about that.

30
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,840
Yeah, so I have a heart to serve kids and help kids.

31
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,200
And I feel like kids are, I mean, number one,

32
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:32,080
they're a future.

33
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:37,960
But I also feel like they don't have, so many kids are hurting.

34
00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:40,120
They're sick.

35
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:41,560
There's child trafficking.

36
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,680
There are all kinds of things going on in the world

37
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,520
that kids have to deal with today.

38
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:50,720
And I feel like even coming from broken homes or abusive homes,

39
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,280
they are victims.

40
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,480
They're victims in our world.

41
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,560
And I just have a real heart to help them.

42
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,880
I always have been doing something

43
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:02,400
to serve kids in some capacity, whether that

44
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,840
is working with foster to adopt organizations

45
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:11,280
or working in youth groups in my church.

46
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,120
I've always done something with kids.

47
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,640
And I just have this goal that I want

48
00:02:17,640 --> 00:02:19,120
to write a million dollar check.

49
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,520
Now, I don't know who that would be to yet

50
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,480
because there are so many different charities and things

51
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,560
that I am passionate about.

52
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,880
That's where I will just put it in God's hands.

53
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,520
Thank you, Prashana.

54
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:39,680
Where did this vision come from?

55
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,920
Because I'm assuming ultimately everything that you're doing

56
00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:46,080
is going to that goal.

57
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,240
Where did that vision come from?

58
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:49,520
Yes.

59
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,680
I think it just comes from my heart to help kids.

60
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,200
And I feel like even though I've had successful businesses

61
00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:00,120
and I do give and I do serve and all of those things,

62
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,240
it just doesn't ever feel like it's enough.

63
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,560
And I don't know.

64
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,840
To me, that would just be ultimate

65
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,720
to be able to write that million dollar check.

66
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:16,240
And I still have a goal to make money for my family,

67
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,360
for myself, for my own business.

68
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,760
So I don't want to make it sound like everything is for that.

69
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,320
That's just a huge passion, something

70
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,720
that I really have a desire to do.

71
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,360
Thank you for clarifying that.

72
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:31,280
My bad.

73
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:32,520
I'm pretty new at this.

74
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,840
This is probably like my 10th show under the belt.

75
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:35,360
OK.

76
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,480
My next question for you, and you

77
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,360
can answer whichever vision you want to share about this.

78
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,760
And what is your story behind your life?

79
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:56,160
Well, I have to really look at why I am in business.

80
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:57,400
It's not just to give back.

81
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,040
I just really believe that if we've

82
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:00,840
been called to entrepreneurship, we've

83
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,360
been called the bigger things.

84
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,640
I believe that we've been called to make a difference.

85
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,640
We've been called to make more money, which

86
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,400
helps make a difference.

87
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,080
I feel like we have the opportunity to build wealth.

88
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,720
I built a lot of businesses over 34 years

89
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,000
and I sold a lot of them.

90
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,360
It's changed our lives financially.

91
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,400
It's helped me to be able to make a bigger

92
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,960
impact to my church, to the things I care about,

93
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,320
to my kids, to my family.

94
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,840
And that's a huge why, is what can my business

95
00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:32,960
do for other people, but also how can it

96
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,720
change my life like it has.

97
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,520
And so my big passion for helping people

98
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,000
be successful, to be highly successful,

99
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,680
and expand their vision in their business

100
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,760
is because there is more opportunity for them

101
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:47,880
to make a bigger impact.

102
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,640
There is more opportunity for them

103
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,040
to not be strapped like a paycheck,

104
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:54,680
living paycheck to paycheck.

105
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,560
And I just feel like, again, if you've

106
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,360
been called to entrepreneurship, you've been called the bigger

107
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:00,880
things.

108
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:01,800
I just really believe that.

109
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,120
And I'm passionate about helping people see that.

110
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:09,720
I love that statement.

111
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,440
If you've been called to entrepreneurship,

112
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,080
you've been called the bigger thing.

113
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:14,320
That's very profound.

114
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,520
One of my very dear friend, the creator of the show,

115
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,680
he helped me realize that recently.

116
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,120
And you're called to bigger things in life.

117
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:22,640
Thank you.

118
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,120
Thank you for sharing that.

119
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:25,640
Yeah, I feel like a lot of people,

120
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,440
when they think about entrepreneurship,

121
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:33,320
they go into it sort of with a job mentality or mindset.

122
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,000
I just want to make enough to live.

123
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,880
I just want to make enough to pay my bills.

124
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:39,680
There's nothing wrong with that.

125
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,520
But I feel like why would you want to be an entrepreneurship

126
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,080
if that's your only goal?

127
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:52,040
Because it's a lot more secure having a job

128
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,160
and not having to rely on yourself to make the money.

129
00:05:55,160 --> 00:06:00,120
And so it's just a different way of thinking.

130
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:01,240
So I don't get it.

131
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,040
I don't get why people wouldn't just

132
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,080
work jobs that are 40 hours instead of the 100 hours

133
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:07,840
that you work as an entrepreneur.

134
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:09,200
Thank you for being here today.

135
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,680
I'm really happy that you tuned in to Vision Pros Live.

136
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,320
I'm looking forward to seeing your reactions

137
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,560
as these episodes continue to move forward.

138
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,280
This is going to get more and more fun.

139
00:06:18,280 --> 00:06:20,200
We'll have more and more engagement as well.

140
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,240
We'll invite people to participate in the show.

141
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,600
And thank you for giving us your time and attention.

142
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,320
Have an excellent time building out your vision

143
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:39,920
and becoming a Vision Pro yourself.
