Tell me about your vision in that because you're not talking about thousands
You're talking about millions and taking people to a level that is unbeknownst to a lot. So tell me your vision in that
Yeah, yeah
I will and I'll just give you just a really quick background
You know
I spent 28 years in corporate America and from ground floor sales all up to a vice president of sales
And if you look at where I came from and the way I grew up and it's not realistic that this kid would be doing
It's not realistic that I would be having the conversation with you today that I'm having but it's because of that vision
It's because of being able to see that it's because of partially because of watching my parents grow up my whole youth and struggle
And they did you know the stresses that took on him health wise relationship wise and all of that and and even physically later on
and I didn't want to repeat that I
Like I like, you know people say to me man, you're so energetic and you're so happy and excited and stuff
And they go why is that and I go because I remember what it was like not to be I remember what it was
Like to not want to live. Yes, you know and and using the things I've used whether alcohol things like that and stuff to try to
You know, you know
Fix what was inside that I thought was broken and stuff and today
so when I was 22 years old I
I started this pathway and I just it was like it just came from my heart
It didn't come from my thinking it came from my heart that I want to inspire
motivate and help millions of people to live better lives and I looked at the way I was living and I looked at the
Way my parents were living and I looked at and all of this past three decades
Has been the unfolding and and and the pieces coming together
You know through a lot of trial-error things like that stuff that we all experience
But finally getting to the point where it like this SMT method, you know that belief came through God
And the impact it has on people's lives. I love getting to help somebody have that breakthrough
I love getting somebody to take their vision of what they have and building that to a level of dynamic
To where it scares them. Yeah, but then opening that up and that's that is my whole vision. You know, I
I hang glide
Because I've always had a vision of soaring like Eagles, you know Eagles my spiritual animal and I just have so much
reverence for Eagles and such and and
Today I get to do these things and I get to live this life in that
you know, it's so funny because not literally well, you see me smiling, but I have goosebumps because
You're a lot of people that probably sit in your position. It's definitely from the mind, right?
It's some it's the smarts in it that gets you going but it's a big difference when it's the heart in it
You know and your heart your heart there's so much unknown
It's just that beat that says hey, you got to do it
You got to do it and then your reference to God
Says that that's where you're listening from and when you listen from there and it goes into your heart
Then once it manifests it it is meant to be and I've always said when it's when it's all God, it's all good
Absolutely
And it's funny because you know, I work off of mainly two of our mental faculties. Okay, I work off of
Imagination that were so often conditioned to turn off
You know as we as we become more mature into adulthood and then our intuition and now intuition
Every living breathing person if somebody's still taking in breath their intuition works perfect. Yeah
But it's only as loud as loud is our willingness to hear it. Yes. Yes
So with all this conditioning we get going with all these massive actions do 150 miles an hour trying to get to where we want to get to
And we don't hear all of those insights that bring about ease and bring about bigger
Possibilities and what we could even imagine and that's that quieting the outside noise
Yeah, you know that's not allowing others to come into your mind and and taint what you know to be true
And to be real. It's just you trying to figure out how to manifest that so Joseph
Then that's where you come in at right and that's where you're you're asking
What are the questions that you ask to make them, you know imagine and then get to that point
You know what? I'll just start tapping, you know, most of the time, you know
We know that we know that pain is a motivator, right? I mean it is we but here's the one thing is we don't have to live
By pain pushing us we can get a vision and have that pull us into the life
We want to live so it becomes a whole different way of operations and and really what I do
So I start with that pain. What is what do you discontent? What don't you like? What are you struggling with?
Yeah, and then I'll help them take that point 180 degrees because that's right there in that 180 degrees
Is our heartfelt vision the other thing I have to do as we go through that process and again
I've been a guinea pig of all the works I do today and I've gone through a lot of pain struggle frustration
What took me years and maybe decades to understand my clients achieve in weeks now
And so the other thing I do with that is is we lean into that and we build off of so, you know
I thought you mentioned about the client who went from 7.5. That's over 22 million dollars
12 months when when I met with that person we decided to work together
We went through the process we're talking about and there's roadmapping tools. We followed to develop that vision
But her vision what only went to 10 million dollars?
She went from 7.5. She wanted to get to 10 million dollars and that was it couldn't see beyond that. So
Part of what I do is I know there's bigger possibilities for us than what we can even realize because we're so
Stuck to look in their current situations and circumstances to determine what we want. Yeah, and so we
Determine we we we end up landing on mediocre results because we can't even think outside of that
So what I did is I helped build that vision to 12 million dollars 12 5 actually
So so we started some point five, you know, she was able to put together at 10 and that was a and then at 12
Five she goes, I don't know how I'm gonna be able to do this and I go dad
That's what we want because part of the thing I have to work with with every business owner with some level of experience
Entrepreneur. Yeah, is we got to start getting outside of here. Yes
I mean from here we're shutting down imagination. We're shutting down intuition and and and so we're missing huge
Potentials as we live that way. Yeah, and it's it's um, what you said the pushing and pulling
Pain pushes you and the other pulls you right and I
Literally had a vision of pain pushing you and when you push something it's taking me
Everything out of you, you know, it's like I have to get it to the next step then to the next step then to the next step
But when you're pulled, it's like it's already there
You know where the destination is and it's just like just come on. Yeah, no
Favorite analogy is being in my kayak on a river. Mm-hmm
I can try going upstream and I can do that
Yeah, but I'm not gonna go near it like I'll go, you know, maybe a half a mile and I'm tired
My muscles are sore. I'm fatigued them and at some point and this is what happens with people
With when they're when they're pushed through life at some point
I'm just so tired. I give up and we call that burnout
We blame outside situations circumstances and conditions
But everything we want all we got to do is turn 180 degrees and it's in that flow
Yeah, you get to enjoy and that's exactly what it's like. Yeah
Yeah, and and now me visioning you and your kayak and the water is just streaming
If you just you only need a little bit of guidance
And I think that's where coaching and mentoring comes in at is you already know what the kayak does
You know what the water does, you know where it's going
Yes, sometimes you need an extra paddle, right an extra paddle
And that's it looks like that's where you fit Joseph in such a in the bigger scheme of things
Yeah, absolutely
And one of the things I take a lot of pride in I only again learn this by experiencing it is I've spent a lot of money
In coaching programs and things like that that had my had my roadmap to success
They knew how to get me where I wanted to go and I would invest again
And again and again and these and every single time I'd walk away feeling like there was something wrong with me
Because I didn't achieve those results later on I would learn 98 percent of the people taking those programs don't don't achieve anywhere near
What they're promoted to achieve in there and here's the reason why and here's the reason why for a lot of years
Things like the secret, you know positive thinking and the other things that I've learned
The secret, you know positive thinking things like that didn't work for me because they're taught as a one size fit all
Where I love that I get to specialize and what I needed in order to bring those changes about in my life
Is I needed to be able to work off of my uniqueness my unique desires my unique vision my unique conditioning in my subconscious
That controls the actions we take or don't take all of that once I start understanding that once I started understanding
What my subconscious mind is then I could start taking steps I could start making it more unique to me
It didn't matter to me what your you know what your conditioning is that no longer played into it and no longer played into it
What the you know the highest percentage of people I have a hundred people conditioning is it played off of my conditioning
And once I started understanding that could make shifts so easily and I literally went from I wouldn't say the bottom of the pack
When I was in sales but the middle and and I shot up to getting 18 22 18 million 22 million up to a 25 million dollar five-year contract
That took a company overnight from 50 to 75 million dollars and it didn't involve all of the massive actions
Exhaustive efforts and such that you know that I had tried for so long to live by and it just it just flowed with the yeah
And you said one thing that it's the one size fits all and it brought me to this hat I purchased that said one size fits all
And if I put it on my head and it fit right, but I accidentally washed it and it no longer fits
So one of those things that I think about is that yes, it fits until a change happens that you don't know is going to happen
Right and so great analogy great analogy. That's awesome. And I thought about and I was like my hat doesn't fit anymore
And I felt upset because I paid, you know, I paid something for it. Yeah, and I really enjoyed it. But when our life changes
Then that size doesn't fit us anymore. How do we move to getting from that one size that fits all
And then taking what we know to be true that's changed and making that fit into that hat. There's it's no way. Yeah, you're absolutely right
And it's so funny that analogy because that's what happens is we learn something maybe we're starting to make some breakthrough and see some differences
But circumstances and conditions is part that will change and that's part of the human condition. Yeah, so they're not able to sustain those changes
Even if we are able to get any of those results at all and what I love and what I really needed in order for this to help me
And now it's helped hundreds of other clients of mine over the past decade almost a thousand is is it's it's a unique pathway
Yeah, for every individual it takes like if you if you were going through it would work off of you know, it would take into account your conditioning
It would take into account your desires. It would take into account what you want your family, you know, all of that stuff that makes you unique
Is it's what we build off of and and and then celebrate throughout that process to bring more of it about we develop systems of accelerating habits
Doing things that work, but they work for you, you know, when you take these programs even you know companies and stuff like that
And they go here's how you're successful and they give you this big long checklist and everybody follows it and supposed to be
But hardly anybody is because those things don't ignite you when we start looking for developing unique systems of accelerating habits that do ignite you
Yeah, now and I have a really good example of that. Yeah, sure.
You have to watch social media and you see somebody who's doing like a live and you can tell they're home, right?
They're excited. They're lit up. They're ignited all of that and everything and you'll watch those right?
And then you ever see somebody who you can tell they don't want to be there. They're uncomfortable. They're stumbling on words. They're reading a script, whatever
And how long do you watch those for? Not long. Me neither, because I feel bad for the person. Yeah.
And so I'll do with somebody like that is I'll say, OK, this isn't your wheelhouse. Let's find out what is. Let's find out what brings on that traction factor.
Let's find out what excites you and you enjoy. And then we find time to do that more. Yes. Yes.
And what I think about you and all this discussion that we're having is tailor made.
That's a great way to say that.
Tailor made because I tell you.
Some of my marketing.
Man, Joseph, but this is the one thing you talk about vision. I don't know what my vision is, right?
I honestly don't when it comes to what it is, their moments like this that I can be organic and I can just have a normal conversation with someone like yourself and other guests that I've had that says
life doesn't have to go the way we planned. I have all these questions, Joseph. I got tons of questions to ask you.
But I'm like, this this is so much more right. You are the person behind this website and how I don't know how we would have ever learned that with just going to your website.
Right. Because, of course, you you talk and you have podcast and you have all of that.
But I think that that's the biggest point about me being a part of Vision Pros Live is to actually hear your vision.
And you are flipping passionate about it. And I love it.
I literally put my foot up in my chair like, hey, it's a different color. But hey, we sent out the house.
We're just talking about life. And, you know, I really knew what you do.
Excitement in that passion and what you know, even in that even in this conversation and stuff like that, like you're in your wheelhouse.
Yeah, yeah. And and I'm learning so much from you. So I tell everybody I don't come on here because I have the best questions or anything.
I come on here because, number one, I'm meeting someone who has a vision.
And I believe that that vision is bigger than than we all could ever think. Right.
You you right now have this vision of helping, you know, people, tons and tons and tons of people raise their their profit levels. And but also the biggest thing that I realized is that you're teaching people how to go what was in their heart.
Yeah. To tap into that and go with that versus what were conditioned that plays out through our head.
And, you know, you would ask me about my vision. I'll just tell you a couple things in it. It's like, truly, my life mission, my life goal.
I feel my purpose here on this planet is to inspire, motivate and lead millions of people to live better lives. And you go, well, how can one guy do that?
And part of my vision next year, I'm launching life, my institute, OK, certify other coaches in my program.
And this is this is like like really and exciting. And and with that, then I can expand the impact that my life works has now.
And the person I'm partnering with when I go into it will carry it on beyond when I pass from here as well.
So you're not only you didn't only just build a business by experience, you're now building an even bigger business by experience and building a legacy. Yes.
And and what's really important for me, whether you're listening or saying so, what's really important for me is I have no desire to build an empire.
I have no desire to have yachts and things like that and everything else. What I do desire and what financial things show me is the level of impact I'm having.
And that's really what I'm I don't want to say chasing, but that's really what I'm visioning and seeing opening up and stuff like that is a bigger impact with, you know, when again, going back to it.
When you think of it, this kid growing up in a blue collar, struggling family in Detroit, Michigan, and having that condition, it's it it does.
It's not realistic that I'm sitting here with you. It's not realistic that it's had this impact.
It's not realistic that a couple of years ago I was asked to speak into three hundred and fifty ministers and give a talk on prosperity.
It's not realistic that this kid coming from where I did would be at this place and without these tools and without that drive, I wouldn't be.
It's not realistic that I would have made it up to a vice president position in corporate America and then and then help companies and bankruptcy get back to profitability or help companies scale the way it's not realistic.
And I hear you, Joseph, but I tell you, you got to make it realistic because you know what?
So many people right now are feeling the same thing.
You know, there are young kids growing up that don't have all of these things.
You are showing them that it's oh, this is realistic.
This is real. This is definitely real.
And because I can do it and I've done it.
Oh, my goodness. Oh, anyone watching this. So can you.
You will do it. Everybody can. Yeah.
And that's what's awesome. And why really like it'll put me in tears when I have a client I'm working with and they have a breakthrough or something happens.
And again, like I said, you know, the the the the vehicle I use is rapid business growth.
But the core of it all is really about that personal transformation. It's about that person at seven point five million dollars becoming that person at twenty point two million.
Yes. Yes. And that'll put me in tears when that happens and somebody breaks through and things like that.
God, and even more amazing, Joseph, you're a part of the change. Right.
And even as you grew up, you you you didn't know that you would be a part of such a great change.
Right. And it's it's bringing people past their goals and overreaching.
It is said that we deserve more. Right. I think it's just now how we get it.
Right. And if we get it through the heart, I believe that it'll it'll it'll pour out even more.
Yeah. That was somebody that has the heart, money and the mind. Yeah. You see so much bigger. You know what I mean?
And I absolutely love it. I love it, Joseph. I know this probably isn't what you expected, but I had an amazing time.
Oh, no, this is a great conversation. You just lit my weekend for me.
I I'm my morning has been like, yes, I got this. You know, we got this.
Joseph, it's been amazing. I truly thank you for just taking the time to work with me answering the phone.
And we got it all together and just you being fluid into being able to say, you know what?
I'm going to adjust. So I can't I can't thank you enough, Joseph, for truly. Absolutely.
If I could say one other thing, absolutely. Just for your listeners and things like that, I like to give people something they can do.
And everything we desire beyond what we can even imagine is available to us.
But it's just outside of our comfort zone. Yeah.
So there were years there. Yeah. When I would just practice driving a different route to work, I practice brushing my teeth, a different pattern.
And I would try to do things to get outside of that comfort zone.
And as I did that, it starts opening up what I see as possible for me because I can't achieve anything I can't imagine it being.
And so, you know, like opening that up for that is just getting outside the comfort zone.
And there's so many easy ways of starting to do that process.
Absolutely. Thank you so much. Absolutely. Thank you for being here today.
