Tell us about your vision. Yeah, you know, really
my vision, Jackson, is to help people break through
their limiting beliefs. I'm a personal, I have
a personal story of just how I did it. You know,
I had all these things early in my life that
prevented me. It took me literally 12 years to
scale my business to where I am today. And there
was a few breakthroughs that came along the way.
But my job is really I want to help people to
see their limiting beliefs and how it's holding
them back. And it's rooted really in faith. you
know entrepreneurship and just really taking
imperfect action uh quite honestly so my goal
is really help people understand that help them
get over that hump and then ultimately really
see the the freedom that that can give you in
life business and your relationships brother
you said the f word yeah my apologies you threw
down oh not at all you you you drop you drop
the mic on one of my favorite topics in business
awesome love it Faith, talking about faith, right?
Hey, this is a scientific word, by the way. I
can prove that. Hypothesis. What is a hypothesis?
A belief. And if you want to test your hypothesis,
you have to take action. So you got a belief
and you got action. That is the formula for faith.
So I love that you talked about it. I think it's
absolutely essential for us to be able to step
into and to utilize that great gift, regardless
of what we believe in. It's a huge superpower.
Tell me more about that. What does faith mean
to you? It really is foundational. Another F
word for you. It is the core of everything that
I do. You know, obviously I'm a man of religious
faith. I have a personal relationship with Jesus,
which is very important to me. But I think you
need to have that in your life. If you don't
have that core piece of that rooted, everything
else is kind of not a firm foundation. You got
to build your life on that. But it gives me security.
It gives me. confidence to continue to move on.
Because a lot of times if you don't have faith,
even in just, let's say outside of the religious
aspect, let's say you have a business idea and
you want to take it to that next level. You have
to have enough faith and belief to push past
the suck. Because anyone who's been an entrepreneur
knows you're going to hit those roadblocks. And
early in my life, Jackson, I folded like a wet
paper towel. Bro, I could not do it. I would
be like, I'm not good. I'm not strong. I mean,
the whole Stuart Smalley thing for those old
people in the room for SNL levels. I mean, I
had those negative mindsets that I wouldn't do
the necessary tasks or find the solution. I would
just stop. So you need a faith and belief in
what you're trying to accomplish and then figure
out how can I get there? Because there's always
going to be swerves in the road. There's no linear
path to success. So having faith and belief is
really foundational in what you need to do. And
it starts really on the inside with your identity.
I love that. And we're going to come right back.
We're going to talk about the identity. You're
already throwing down huge value bombs, Dan.
I appreciate that. And my friends, energy. you
know energy recognizing the energy that a leader
has dan and i got to meet last week serendipitously
the energy he threw in to me right there on the
invitation to come on the show earlier was just
awesome so he is officially our first vip guest
at vision pros live we'll see you on the other
side all right welcome in to vision pros live
with jackson callum i'm your show host we'll
be doing interviews for visionary entrepreneurs
and guest leaders who are building fantastic
visions out there Welcome in. I've got Dan Alborn
on today. We're talking about his vision. He
is Homebuyer Dan. You can find him at homebuyerdan
.com. And we're doing things. We're shaking it
up a little bit today. This is a little bit of
a new format so that we can honor people's visions
at even another level and make sure that you
guys get the most out of what we're talking about.
We were talking about faith and foundation right
before. We're going to be talking about identity
with Dan in just a minute. I'm going to breeze
through real fast. I might even confuse my producer
a little bit. Home Studio Mastery with Junaid
Ahmed. Danny Brassell, The Reading Habit. Those
are two amazing resources to pay attention to.
And of course, guys, let's go contribute to or
at least spread the word about The Water Project
because The Water Project is helping people get
the most essential resource. And there's millions
of people who don't have it. And we can spread
the word about that. So make sure to check out
what we have regarding that page. Make sure you
go check it out. And oh, good. Cynthia did bring
that one. I'm happy to bring that one. That's
the one I'm like, OK, we have to showcase this.
When I found out about this organization, I was
like, uh. I don't know how to feel about this.
Like the people don't have water. It wasn't something
I'd ever internalized before. So as I started
to meditate on that reality and realize like,
wow, they find these places that don't have water.
What would it be like if my kids didn't have
it? These kids celebrate water. Like my kids
celebrate Christmas day. We can make that type
of impact in people's lives just by banding together,
perhaps by asking other people to contribute
to this. Even if you don't have the financial
means to, you never know. Maybe it's your best
friend who contributes 10 ,000 and ends up driving.
uh clean drinking water to more than more than
10 000 people for the next 10 decades or next
next 10 years all right that's a huge opportunity
and it's going to have a multi -generational
impact unlike anything else i can think about
this planet so i'm really bought into what they
do it's not my program i'm just really excited
about it and i hope that you would dive into
we've got eight billion people to serve on this
planet and i hope that you jump in and do that
with me today that's all about serving you so
dan welcome back to vision pros live Awesome.
It's been fun. Thank you, Jackson. Absolutely.
So we talked about the intro to your vision.
I'd love to know, where did your vision come
from? Well, it started a while back. I think
I went to a workshop with a group of people.
It's an organization called Life and Air. And
the whole idea behind that is you need to build
your vision first and then you build your it's
the opposite of millionaire. Millionaire has
a lot of money. Life and Air is someone who has
an abundance of life. Right. So their whole mindset
is. Build your life first and build your business
around that. So that's where I really got in
the idea of writing down my vision, goals, things
of what I wanted to accomplish. But I think it's
gotten more refined as I've went through life.
I've experienced some things and through some
of my challenges that's now got incorporated
into my vision. Right. I want to have other people
have these breakthroughs in their life to really
compound the things they want to do and really
get there quicker. I'm going to step out on a
ledge and give a big shout out to Dr. Jason Wojo
real quick. There you go. I love Wojo. You know,
we're talking about the same guy, right? Yes,
sir. Big friend. Actually, yeah, just connected
with him just to get recently. We've been friends
forever. We've been friends for a very long time.
You don't forget a guy that looks a lot like
Mark Wahlberg. You just don't. I'm really glad
that you brought him up because he was one of
those leaders that came on and threw down. I
was just like. Man, this guy's got it. Good dude.
Good dude. Good human. Love him. That's amazing.
I got to give a big shout out and say, I got
to say hi to Jason. I gave him a call at some
point now. So, okay. Let's dive in to one more
question for today. And then we'll bring you
back for some other things. So I want to ask
you what your why is, but I'm going to shake
that question up just a little bit. Okay. What's
the story behind your why? The story behind my
why is I was basically at the lowest. place in
my life um you know i had gotten a letter in
the mail here i was a real estate investor you
know helping people in challenging situations
trying to you know navigate the waters right
and here i was a guy who got a letter in the
mail saying you're about to lose your home and
i early on in my business ventures was not treating
like a business they had a lot of limiting beliefs
in my life that was talking about earlier that
prevented me from taking the necessary steps
And in doing that, Jackson, I realized if it
wasn't for a friend who bailed me out for a $5
,000 loan that got me out of that hole, I at
that point said, I'm never going to do this again.
I'm never going to get to that point again. It
was the lowest of the worst I could eventually
feel. And through that, I went on this journey
of like, how can I level up? You know, how can
I get into rooms? to be around people who i want
to be you know in cruising my circle maybe removing
some people that aren't as healthy changing some
lifestyle things so it's been a progression over
the last three to five years of like getting
through that and then i had another turn in the
tables when i was in a partnership that was doing
well but then they dropped the words on me dan
we love you we just don't love being in this
business anymore and and jackson that hit me
like a freight train and i at that point i'm
like i was good at the sales they were good at
the business i really was like what am i going
to do like they were running the business i was
just doing the you know the the acquisition side
and i had to figure it out and quickly so within
30 days i really was intentional about getting
my mind right went to a tony robbins event of
course if anyone's been to one of those notes
that'll get you shaken up in a quick minute to
rewrite some of those negative uh things in my
world and then i reframed it And then ultimately,
then I was from there, I reinforced it with these
new I am statements. And through that, it allowed
me to grow my business exponentially of making
a half million dollars in eight months in something
I've never been able to do in my life. So these
are things that are driving my why, because I
feel like I've I've kind of figured out my own
life and I want to tell people about it. Like,
here's how I did it. Here's the journey I did.
Here's how you can. I love it. So, Dan, in simple
terms, too. I love the story behind it. You've
teed it up really well. What is your why? I mean,
in a nutshell, I just want to have other people
have breakthroughs in their life. I want to have
other people succeed. One of my biggest satisfactions
in life is when I can help someone else get through
the journey. I used to be in sales. Well, I'm
still in sales in my business. But when I was
a sales rep and then I went into a management
role, that alone, I didn't know how I was going
to get the thrill of the sale. But I found when
I was able to coach and mentor someone that was
far exceedingly great than actually doing it
myself. So that's part of my why. I love to help
people. I love I want to see them become the
best versions of themselves. That's what feeds
me. And that's that's a huge component of what
I'm doing and what I'm trying to build. Thank
