1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,840
is why do leaders hide from funding their vision?

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:07,640
I think one of the reasons for that is that the leaders are,

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:11,840
I think they're scared that their vision is actually not going to work or it's not going to come true.

4
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,640
So they're afraid to invest in it.

5
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,880
I've been in that position myself where I was afraid to either invest,

6
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:22,200
well, it was either financial capital or it was time.

7
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:23,800
I think they're both valuable.

8
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:28,800
And I would not, I hesitated from investing in the project

9
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,840
because at the time I didn't believe that it was actually going to work.

10
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,200
And sometimes it didn't work and other times it did.

11
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:42,280
So, you know, we don't always know the outcome of how something's going to turn out,

12
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,000
but that's the gamble. That's the risk of life.

13
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,640
You know, there are no guarantees.

14
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,840
So you have a vision for something that you want to achieve either, you know,

15
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:57,000
if I don't follow through with that vision to achieve, call it the big dream,

16
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,640
I think somebody else will, you know, so.

17
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:05,400
But yeah, I think the, you know, we're going to hold back from finding the vision

18
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,880
until we can actually make ourselves believe that, yes, it is possible.

19
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:16,080
But we also need other people on board as well, you know, whether those are supporters,

20
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:20,080
people who are going to be helping us to build the project or build the dream.

21
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,800
We need to have other people to help us with this as well.

22
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,000
So it's not just a one man show.

23
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:31,280
That is awesome, Scott. Thank you for sharing that.

24
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:36,680
OK, so what is your goal for being on the show?

25
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,800
Yeah, I love the concept of the show, like the vision for us.

26
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:45,040
I love the concept of actually like vision building is one of the things that I think is

27
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:50,720
it's a skill you can develop, but I want people to understand the power behind having a vision.

28
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:55,560
And, you know, I spend a lot of time doing like meditation as well.

29
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,400
And what I'll call creative visualization is actually what my meditation is really about,

30
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:04,400
where I'll spend 10 or 15 minutes every night, yes, looking at my vision board,

31
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:12,680
but just sitting down and closing my eyes and visualizing how I want things to materialize in the future.

32
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,680
So I'm really going to really big on future building.

33
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:20,160
And for me, the best way to do that is to build a vision for that.

34
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,000
And I'll add one more thing to that as well.

35
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:29,480
I also have something called an anti vision, which I got from Dan Coe, one of my mentors and coaches.

36
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:34,160
And the anti vision is really powerful because having a vision is a great thing.

37
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:39,400
But then there's always the question of what happens if, you know, I don't follow through with my vision?

38
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,360
What happens if I don't pursue my dream?

39
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:47,600
The anti vision of that is becoming the worst version of myself and not having that dream come true.

40
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,240
So just thought I'd put a little spin on it there.

41
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:55,200
But that's something else that I find is very motivating is to have, you know, you've got the vision,

42
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,120
you've got the anti vision, and they can both be very powerful.

43
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:06,080
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.

44
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,000
So you put that right there here.

45
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,320
So is that something like you're always looking at as well?

46
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:14,120
Like, I don't want to become that. So it's motivating you?

47
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:21,200
It is. Yeah, so I don't want to get to the end of my days and look back and have those regrets of,

48
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,720
you know, those are the things that I could have done that could have made a difference and I didn't do them.

49
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:30,960
So so my goal for being on the show, the other goal is actually just to, you know,

50
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,960
teach that philosophy as well if we have the time to go out and you're open to it.

51
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,920
Yep. That is awesome. That is awesome.

52
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,800
So I think that's all I need from you, Scott. That is amazing.

53
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:48,680
I'm glad that we had this conversation and I'm pretty sure our audience will benefit from being with you.
