WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.339 All right. Welcome in to Vision Pros Live with 00:00:03.339 --> 00:00:05.580 Jackson Callum. I'm your show host. We'll be 00:00:05.580 --> 00:00:07.339 doing interviews for visionary entrepreneurs 00:00:07.339 --> 00:00:10.259 and guest leaders who are building fantastic 00:00:10.259 --> 00:00:21.160 visions out there. Everybody, welcome in to another 00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:23.100 episode of Vision Pros Live. I'm your show host, 00:00:23.219 --> 00:00:25.100 Jackson Callum, founder and CEO of First Class 00:00:25.100 --> 00:00:28.219 Business. And I am just grateful to have coach 00:00:28.670 --> 00:00:31.410 Tian Singletary on stage today, his humility, 00:00:31.629 --> 00:00:35.710 his desire to focus on authenticity, which some 00:00:35.710 --> 00:00:37.469 people talk about it, but then there's other 00:00:37.469 --> 00:00:40.130 people who focus on it. I prefer the ones who 00:00:40.130 --> 00:00:42.170 focus on it. And we just started talking about 00:00:42.170 --> 00:00:44.750 the depths of learning. He was talking about 00:00:44.750 --> 00:00:47.649 junior ROTC. He was talking about the military 00:00:47.649 --> 00:00:50.130 and how he learned about goals in high school. 00:00:50.369 --> 00:00:53.090 I think a lot of us get these seeds planted. 00:00:53.329 --> 00:00:55.789 I'll say I'm a little bit notorious or infamous 00:00:55.789 --> 00:00:58.770 for accidentally undermining. the teachers who 00:00:58.770 --> 00:01:01.369 started me on the journey of leadership, because 00:01:01.369 --> 00:01:04.209 I was a horrible leader. I was really bad. I 00:01:04.209 --> 00:01:07.730 was just gifted. I was talented. But I did not 00:01:07.730 --> 00:01:10.430 care about the people I was leading around me. 00:01:10.489 --> 00:01:12.569 I just wanted to win. And I wanted them to win, 00:01:12.650 --> 00:01:13.989 but I wanted them to win because I was winning. 00:01:14.129 --> 00:01:17.030 So, you know, I felt like some of the teachers 00:01:17.030 --> 00:01:19.049 or leaders early in my life maybe let me down. 00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:22.019 And as I listened to Coach Tian just now, I was 00:01:22.019 --> 00:01:23.579 like, they didn't let me down. They gave me the 00:01:23.579 --> 00:01:26.340 gift of placement so that I could understand 00:01:26.340 --> 00:01:29.599 these things at the time in life when I was willing 00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:32.219 to self -reflect, when I was willing to say, 00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:34.459 you know what? Perhaps it's time that I actually 00:01:34.459 --> 00:01:36.780 put these things in practice and do the hard 00:01:36.780 --> 00:01:39.299 work myself. And that came years later. So Coach 00:01:39.299 --> 00:01:42.000 Tian shared his process of reading a book. And 00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:43.659 I'm curious what that book is. Maybe we'll get 00:01:43.659 --> 00:01:45.920 him to tell us which book that was later. But 00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:48.620 I'll give credit to Jake Larson turning me on 00:01:48.620 --> 00:01:51.819 to. I will teach you to be rich .com with Ramit 00:01:51.819 --> 00:01:54.959 Sethi. Such a strange transition because he sent 00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:58.140 me there to learn about copy. And I expected, 00:01:58.319 --> 00:01:59.680 I was like, why does this website have anything 00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:01.900 to do with copy? And then as I'm reading it, 00:02:01.939 --> 00:02:05.540 I could see that there are principles of copy 00:02:05.540 --> 00:02:08.569 that Ramit Sethi... was practicing that Jake 00:02:08.569 --> 00:02:10.689 was trying to get me to practice. But what really 00:02:10.689 --> 00:02:13.270 helped me was Ramit Sethi has this guide that's 00:02:13.270 --> 00:02:16.569 now hidden called The Ultimate Guide to Habits 00:02:16.569 --> 00:02:20.509 and Goal Setting. And that thing taught me some 00:02:20.509 --> 00:02:22.949 very healthy truths about goal setting. I've 00:02:22.949 --> 00:02:25.750 never heard taught anywhere else. You guys can 00:02:25.750 --> 00:02:28.189 go look that up. Learn from Ramit. He's not a 00:02:28.189 --> 00:02:30.110 sponsor. I don't know him, but I'm grateful for 00:02:30.110 --> 00:02:32.050 the man. So there's that resource for you. Then 00:02:32.050 --> 00:02:33.689 you got Home Studio up here. Another resource, 00:02:33.870 --> 00:02:36.750 Home Studio by Junaid Ahmed. He helps you build 00:02:36.750 --> 00:02:38.889 professional studios. I'm down here in Ecuador, 00:02:38.969 --> 00:02:42.229 in Turcan. I don't have my studio present, but 00:02:42.229 --> 00:02:45.210 Junaid builds studios in the $30 ,000 to $75 00:02:45.210 --> 00:02:48.129 ,000 range, and he's a top 2 % global podcaster 00:02:48.129 --> 00:02:50.650 with Hacks and Hobbies. I highly recommend following 00:02:50.650 --> 00:02:52.349 him as well if you're on the podcast journey 00:02:52.349 --> 00:02:53.810 and wanting to learn how to take things to the 00:02:53.810 --> 00:02:56.210 next level. And then there's Dr. Danny Brassell. 00:02:56.370 --> 00:03:00.050 Dr. Danny Brassell helps... Parents inspire their 00:03:00.050 --> 00:03:02.870 children to learn, to love, to read. He's one 00:03:02.870 --> 00:03:05.509 of the world's best educators. He's got a program 00:03:05.509 --> 00:03:07.490 called The Reading Habit. Again, I recommend 00:03:07.490 --> 00:03:09.389 checking that out as well, especially if you 00:03:09.389 --> 00:03:11.889 have children or if you know people who do. It 00:03:11.889 --> 00:03:14.770 would be wonderfully wise to get him involved 00:03:14.770 --> 00:03:18.490 to take your kid's education level to the next 00:03:18.490 --> 00:03:20.870 level. And really maximize that opportunity because 00:03:20.870 --> 00:03:23.830 that's usually what maximizes our prosperity. 00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:26.860 Lastly, before I bring Coach Tian back for a 00:03:26.860 --> 00:03:28.560 couple more questions, the Water Project, my 00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:30.560 friends, if you would be willing to go check 00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:32.419 out the Water Project, I'm not affiliated with 00:03:32.419 --> 00:03:34.939 it. We do donate to it every single month. And 00:03:34.939 --> 00:03:38.039 it is really neat to be able to see that there's 00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:42.219 transparency regarding opening up water wells 00:03:42.219 --> 00:03:45.080 or sand dams in these locations where people 00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:47.099 don't have access to the thing we take for granted 00:03:47.099 --> 00:03:49.800 most. I've never been thirsty in my life, legitimately. 00:03:51.770 --> 00:03:53.389 I used to take that for granted. When I found 00:03:53.389 --> 00:03:55.050 out about the water project, I got to see that 00:03:55.050 --> 00:03:56.509 you get to see the project come to fruition. 00:03:56.770 --> 00:03:59.389 And I started to realize, whoa, there are millions 00:03:59.389 --> 00:04:01.449 of people who don't have access to clean drinking 00:04:01.449 --> 00:04:04.009 water. And we can solve that. That is something 00:04:04.009 --> 00:04:07.449 that is totally solvable by us diving in. I'm 00:04:07.449 --> 00:04:09.469 grateful they lead the way on that. So if you 00:04:09.469 --> 00:04:11.729 don't have something to give back to it, that's 00:04:11.729 --> 00:04:14.520 okay. My request of you is to just rock a microphone 00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:16.480 like myself. And maybe that means discussing 00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:19.040 it over dinner with your family or with your 00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:20.699 friends and saying, hey, here's something you 00:04:20.699 --> 00:04:23.600 never know. Planting that seed might lead to 00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:26.060 10 different people giving as much as $1 ,000 00:04:26.060 --> 00:04:28.879 or $100 ,000 or even more to the project. And 00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:31.500 you're making a generational impact on communities 00:04:31.500 --> 00:04:33.620 that can then focus better on their education, 00:04:33.819 --> 00:04:35.420 focus better on providing for their families. 00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:42.069 And I just can't let that aspect go. when there's 00:04:42.069 --> 00:04:43.589 people out there who don't even have access to 00:04:43.589 --> 00:04:45.949 water. So let's get into that and do it. We've 00:04:45.949 --> 00:04:47.170 got 8 billion people to help. We're going to 00:04:47.170 --> 00:04:48.810 go right back to helping each of you right now. 00:04:48.870 --> 00:04:51.089 Coach Tian, thanks again for joining me here 00:04:51.089 --> 00:04:53.769 on Vision Pros Live. Let's get after it, my friend. 00:04:54.290 --> 00:04:58.279 Let's do it. Awesome, man. All right. So you've 00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:00.339 got this depth of leadership. You've got the 00:05:00.339 --> 00:05:02.800 authenticity. You've been on the path of growth. 00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:04.620 You've got your website and different products. 00:05:04.660 --> 00:05:06.680 You're working with John Maxwell as well on Live 00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:09.579 to Lead. You've got a program, a global youth 00:05:09.579 --> 00:05:11.560 leadership program that you're also helping build 00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:13.579 on. You've got an upcoming virtual event on November 00:05:13.579 --> 00:05:17.420 29th, a live workshop on January 17th in Myrtle 00:05:17.420 --> 00:05:20.939 Beach. Man, what is your why? What is it that 00:05:20.939 --> 00:05:31.269 drove you to want to do all this? My why is it's 00:05:31.269 --> 00:05:35.649 like when I was younger, I didn't have all the 00:05:35.649 --> 00:05:39.509 resources that is now available at our fingertips. 00:05:40.949 --> 00:05:45.829 At the same time, there's people out there that 00:05:45.829 --> 00:05:49.829 just want love. People out there that want people 00:05:49.829 --> 00:05:54.060 that truly care because That sometimes is hidden 00:05:54.060 --> 00:06:02.459 by these devices, right? So as I think through 00:06:02.459 --> 00:06:05.160 it more and more now, as when you asked me that 00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:06.860 question, I'm like, wow, it's more deeper than 00:06:06.860 --> 00:06:10.439 I thought. Because it's like, it's really hitting 00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:14.180 me right now. I just want to truly add value 00:06:14.180 --> 00:06:18.920 to people that may not be where I'm at right 00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:21.540 now in my life, because I came from. I would 00:06:21.540 --> 00:06:25.500 say poverty, right? Where I was weighing, handing 00:06:25.500 --> 00:06:27.959 down clothes and shoes and sometimes holes in 00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:30.259 my clothes and shoes. Right now, they walk around 00:06:30.259 --> 00:06:33.759 with holes in their clothes. I'm like, wow. For 00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:37.480 me, when I was younger, that was poverty. And 00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:41.300 then, so coming from that and now where I'm at 00:06:41.300 --> 00:06:43.800 in my life, I'm like, I truly want to give back. 00:06:44.420 --> 00:06:49.920 Like, I truly want to help those that need support. 00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:53.399 and meet them where they are, right? Everyone 00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:55.680 is at different locations or different places 00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:59.480 in their life. And I just want to meet people 00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:02.040 where they are and help build them up to where 00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:05.839 they can be because everyone have true potential 00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:08.360 in them. They just need someone to just help 00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:11.019 them pull it out, right? And that's where I'm 00:07:11.019 --> 00:07:13.379 at in my life and in my season of significance, 00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:16.720 living a life of significance is what can I do 00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:20.000 to help someone to move forward from where they 00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:22.800 are right now in life, right? So yeah, thank 00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:24.279 you for the question. It made me think about 00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:26.420 it a little bit more. I see how deep you went 00:07:26.420 --> 00:07:28.920 and you're being very respectful of the audience 00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:32.120 and the time. I'm going to ask a question I've 00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:34.879 never asked anybody on the show before. So normally 00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:37.079 I ask, what's the story behind your why? And 00:07:37.079 --> 00:07:39.560 you already helped us see that you come from 00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:41.740 a background, you know, where life is tough, 00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:43.800 where you know what that feels like and you like 00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:46.439 the idea of helping others. Was there anybody 00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:50.920 along your way? that saw your circumstances and 00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:53.300 took the extra effort or time to help you? And 00:07:53.300 --> 00:07:57.040 what's that story? Or was there nobody who showed 00:07:57.040 --> 00:07:58.860 up and helped you dig out? Did you have to grind 00:07:58.860 --> 00:08:01.600 it out yourself? What was your journey like? 00:08:01.860 --> 00:08:06.480 It's a mixture of both. I got to give first honor 00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:10.420 to my Heavenly Father. God who helped me. And 00:08:10.420 --> 00:08:15.100 I live in a praying foundation, a praying house. 00:08:15.339 --> 00:08:18.980 So my mother, my father really loved me. And 00:08:18.980 --> 00:08:21.620 they showed me the way just by what they can 00:08:21.620 --> 00:08:26.079 do. They both came from somewhat, I will say 00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:29.420 again, poverty. My father, both my parents finished 00:08:29.420 --> 00:08:31.139 high school, but they never went into secondary 00:08:31.139 --> 00:08:34.419 education, right? Secondary education. So that's 00:08:34.419 --> 00:08:36.500 their level. And they only taught me from what 00:08:36.500 --> 00:08:40.120 they know. So in order for me to grow, I gained 00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:43.960 wisdom from my teachers that was very supportive. 00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:45.620 My second grade teacher, third grade teacher, 00:08:45.860 --> 00:08:48.139 fifth grade teacher, when I started playing recreational 00:08:48.139 --> 00:08:52.620 football and basketball, my coach, right? Those 00:08:52.620 --> 00:08:55.720 people were in pivotal moments of my life that 00:08:55.720 --> 00:09:00.039 helped me to think differently. Then going back 00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:03.440 to when I joined GRTC, I was able to travel a 00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:06.080 little bit being on part of the drill team. So 00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:08.299 getting out of my environment and seeing other 00:09:08.299 --> 00:09:10.720 things opened up my eyes a bit more. I was like, 00:09:10.840 --> 00:09:13.379 okay, maybe there's a possibility to get away 00:09:13.379 --> 00:09:17.580 from here other than selling drugs or doing that 00:09:17.580 --> 00:09:21.519 type of life. What can I do? At first, I didn't 00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:24.059 want to go to college. So I really had no plan. 00:09:24.220 --> 00:09:26.919 I had no plan on what I was going to do after 00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:31.159 high school. But since I was part of GRTC, and 00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:34.139 then a recruiter came for the military, first 00:09:34.139 --> 00:09:36.299 I was trying to go into the Air Force. I did 00:09:36.299 --> 00:09:39.320 a test, passed it, but they never got back with 00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:42.059 me. I was like, I'm ready to go now. I need to 00:09:42.059 --> 00:09:44.549 sign now. And that's when the National Guard 00:09:44.549 --> 00:09:47.669 came. And I signed up with them when I was a 00:09:47.669 --> 00:09:50.389 junior in high school. And that's when my life 00:09:50.389 --> 00:09:53.629 began to move in the right direction, I would 00:09:53.629 --> 00:09:56.429 say, because I was getting away from my environment. 00:09:56.889 --> 00:10:02.649 So all those things, people, places, all those 00:10:02.649 --> 00:10:06.309 things helped me to move on the direction that 00:10:06.309 --> 00:10:08.909 I'm living right now in my life. I love them. 00:10:08.929 --> 00:10:10.889 And you inspire me to ask all sorts of different 00:10:10.889 --> 00:10:13.090 questions that I don't usually ask. So I get 00:10:13.090 --> 00:10:14.990 to go one more, one more questions on this. And 00:10:14.990 --> 00:10:18.129 so let's think about, so we've, this episode 00:10:18.129 --> 00:10:20.480 serves really well for those of you. who are 00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:22.580 younger um you know and have those types of mentors 00:10:22.580 --> 00:10:24.860 available to you in your life you can you can 00:10:24.860 --> 00:10:27.100 follow that same model and path that coach tion 00:10:27.100 --> 00:10:29.460 just talked about um and maybe even with more 00:10:29.460 --> 00:10:31.379 purpose now that you've heard what's helped him 00:10:31.379 --> 00:10:33.820 accomplish i i second that it's helped me accomplish 00:10:33.820 --> 00:10:36.279 the things that i've gotten to let's focus on 00:10:36.279 --> 00:10:38.120 the adults who may feel like man i didn't have 00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:40.500 that um you know or i didn't get to take advantage 00:10:40.500 --> 00:10:42.399 of that if you had to start right now coach on 00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:46.639 with shoot who do i turn to to get out of my 00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:50.080 current environment Um, right. Or who can I turn 00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:52.759 to for support so that I'm not doing this life 00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:58.159 alone? What would you do? Now you will bring 00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:03.480 out the coach T on out of me. First day, the 00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:06.019 lions, the lion, the lioness, you got to have 00:11:06.019 --> 00:11:09.399 the tenacity of a lion to go out there and go 00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:13.580 get it. If the resource is not out there, one 00:11:13.580 --> 00:11:15.120 of the things I had to do was I had to create 00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:18.820 the resource, right? So you have to find a way 00:11:18.820 --> 00:11:22.580 to create the resources you need in order to 00:11:22.580 --> 00:11:25.620 move forward. Look around your community. Maybe 00:11:25.620 --> 00:11:27.460 there's someone that you're missing that may 00:11:27.460 --> 00:11:29.840 be moving forward and you need to just grab hold 00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:32.899 of their coattail, right? And make it be a neighbor. 00:11:33.059 --> 00:11:34.879 It could be someone down the road. It could be 00:11:34.879 --> 00:11:38.080 someone from a different community. Find them 00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:42.179 and then try to learn from them, right? Try to 00:11:42.179 --> 00:11:44.899 learn from them and then start applying the things 00:11:44.899 --> 00:11:48.580 you're learning. One day at a time. Baby steps. 00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:52.259 Not a huge, gigantic step. Just take baby steps. 00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:56.620 Because one step at a time, it will compound. 00:11:57.720 --> 00:12:01.000 It's like having a tree in your backyard. Are 00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:03.320 you going to cut that tree with a dull axe? Or 00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:06.320 are you going to sharpen your axe? Now, are you 00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:08.159 going to try to chop that tree down in one day? 00:12:08.340 --> 00:12:10.299 Or are you going to go out there every day and 00:12:10.299 --> 00:12:15.970 just chop at it five times? Next day, do the 00:12:15.970 --> 00:12:18.669 same thing. Over and over again, what's going 00:12:18.669 --> 00:12:22.789 to happen to that tree? That tree is going to 00:12:22.789 --> 00:12:26.929 fall. So whatever your tree is in your life, 00:12:27.629 --> 00:12:30.789 that's awareness. Now you have the awareness. 00:12:31.169 --> 00:12:34.970 Now the goal is preparation. What do I need to 00:12:34.970 --> 00:12:39.169 do to prepare myself so that I can move beyond 00:12:39.169 --> 00:12:42.230 this tree or I can move this tree out of my way? 00:12:42.759 --> 00:12:46.340 Whatever that is. And depending on what your 00:12:46.340 --> 00:12:49.960 tree is will determine what you will do. But 00:12:49.960 --> 00:12:53.539 you got to have clear awareness what it is. Once 00:12:53.539 --> 00:12:56.379 you know what it is, then properly prepare yourself. 00:12:56.519 --> 00:12:59.320 Find people that can talk to you or help you. 00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:03.460 Social media. There's plenty of people on social 00:13:03.460 --> 00:13:06.179 media that you can follow. But you got to do 00:13:06.179 --> 00:13:08.240 that with discernment. Making sure that they 00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:10.700 have the same values of you, whatever your values 00:13:10.700 --> 00:13:14.440 are. Make sure that their values are in line 00:13:14.440 --> 00:13:17.279 with who you are. And then start learning from 00:13:17.279 --> 00:13:21.480 them. Social media. Books. There's plenty of 00:13:21.480 --> 00:13:25.460 books out there. So many. Right? So many. I tell 00:13:25.460 --> 00:13:26.899 you, when I was young, I didn't read books at 00:13:26.899 --> 00:13:29.159 all. I read my first book again when I was overseas, 00:13:30.019 --> 00:13:31.820 thousands of miles away. That's crazy. What was 00:13:31.820 --> 00:13:35.120 the book? You better laugh. But the book was 00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:39.350 a vampire book, right? There you go. It was a 00:13:39.350 --> 00:13:42.090 vampire book. That was my first book I read literally 00:13:42.090 --> 00:13:45.649 from cover to cover. And I was like, whoa. And 00:13:45.649 --> 00:13:47.129 then that's when I started reading self -development 00:13:47.129 --> 00:13:49.769 books and my life changed. Now I do audiobook. 00:13:50.549 --> 00:13:54.649 And now I read an audiobook two times the speed 00:13:54.649 --> 00:13:56.389 so I can get through it, learn the part that 00:13:56.389 --> 00:13:58.049 I need to learn. If I need to go back, go back 00:13:58.049 --> 00:14:00.159 to it. And then dig a little bit more. I want 00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:01.639 to tie something together that you said, though, 00:14:01.659 --> 00:14:03.940 Coach Tian real quick. And some people aren't 00:14:03.940 --> 00:14:05.659 going to like me for this, but you talked about 00:14:05.659 --> 00:14:07.299 reading the vampire books and you went to self 00:14:07.299 --> 00:14:09.960 -development. There are plenty of blood sucking 00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:12.580 self -development coaches out there that could 00:14:12.580 --> 00:14:15.080 be called vampire books as well. So I love that 00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:18.519 Coach Tian also talked about studying the values, 00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:20.639 right? Making sure the person that you're following 00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:24.940 is living by and according to the type of feelings, 00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:27.860 the type of. lifestyle that you want to have 00:14:27.860 --> 00:14:30.899 don't just look at the riches and ignore the 00:14:30.899 --> 00:14:33.539 rest um right there's there's more to it than 00:14:33.539 --> 00:14:36.679 that um so again thank you for touching on that 00:14:36.679 --> 00:14:38.100 particular point i'll let you finish wrap up 00:14:38.100 --> 00:14:40.240 your thought and then i'll i'll do a little bit 00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:41.919 of recap with some of what you taught us today 00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:44.500 i think i think i wrapped it up already oh yeah 00:14:44.500 --> 00:14:48.139 yeah i'm like i think i think that's it okay 00:14:50.889 --> 00:14:53.929 You gave some huge principles. I love the story 00:14:53.929 --> 00:14:56.490 of chopping down a tree and that everybody's 00:14:56.490 --> 00:14:58.389 got those trees in their backyard they can go 00:14:58.389 --> 00:15:00.669 after and the compound effect. Darren Hardy wrote 00:15:00.669 --> 00:15:02.649 a book called The Compound Effect. Very much 00:15:02.649 --> 00:15:05.070 worth looking at. So I'll pull this full circle. 00:15:05.730 --> 00:15:08.090 One of the things that I loved about what you 00:15:08.090 --> 00:15:09.509 shared about your youth, you share the number 00:15:09.509 --> 00:15:11.789 one source that you have. For those of you who 00:15:11.789 --> 00:15:13.629 are adults later in life, I would agree that 00:15:13.629 --> 00:15:16.950 our Heavenly Father, he will always be there. 00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:20.740 for us always we can turn to him and we can say 00:15:20.740 --> 00:15:24.779 you know heavenly father guide me to who i need 00:15:24.779 --> 00:15:27.580 to be following um you know guide me to that 00:15:27.580 --> 00:15:30.620 path help me move from beyond this environment 00:15:30.620 --> 00:15:33.879 that i may be stuck in taylor welch said environment 00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:36.740 is one of the greatest he says the greatest key 00:15:36.740 --> 00:15:41.360 to success is a very weak person can outperform 00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:44.940 a very strong person if the weak person's in 00:15:44.940 --> 00:15:47.340 a strong environment And a strong person's in 00:15:47.340 --> 00:15:49.500 a weak environment. So environment is definitely 00:15:49.500 --> 00:15:54.600 one of those pieces. Going back to my transition 00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:59.440 here, I brought in a homeless guy once. We helped 00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:02.799 him get back on his feet. And when we did that, 00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:05.940 I ordered the compound effect because he wanted 00:16:05.940 --> 00:16:08.480 to read it. And so he read the book and then 00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:10.899 he would do a nightly report to me of what happened 00:16:10.899 --> 00:16:12.759 in that chapter and how things went. So I read 00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:15.519 the book through him. We both uplifted each other. 00:16:16.110 --> 00:16:18.809 And again, it doesn't matter if you're at a position 00:16:18.809 --> 00:16:22.129 where nobody is willing to help you in life or 00:16:22.129 --> 00:16:23.950 you've got all sorts of resources around you. 00:16:24.230 --> 00:16:27.129 As coach, if you put in the work, if you go and 00:16:27.129 --> 00:16:28.669 start chopping that tree down, you learn how 00:16:28.669 --> 00:16:31.870 to chop it down with the right tools, right resources, 00:16:31.990 --> 00:16:34.309 the right techniques. And of course, your trees 00:16:34.309 --> 00:16:37.279 are going to start falling more. and more throughout 00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:39.600 life. You're going to accomplish more by doing 00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:41.559 just that. So Tian, thank you so much for everything 00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:44.000 that you gave today. Again, those of you who 00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:46.139 want to connect with Coach Tian, you got tiansingletary 00:16:46.139 --> 00:16:49.460 .com. I'd be happy to have him back on this episode. 00:16:49.539 --> 00:16:51.279 Of course, you can find him on his own podcast 00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:54.340 as well. And those of you listening in, if you 00:16:54.340 --> 00:16:55.980 want to join us on this show in the top right 00:16:55.980 --> 00:16:57.779 corner, I don't know which direction to point 00:16:57.779 --> 00:16:59.700 these days. I think they reversed it, but you 00:16:59.700 --> 00:17:02.070 got a button up there that says be our... guest. 00:17:02.210 --> 00:17:04.670 That's right. Thank you, coach. Be our guest. 00:17:04.829 --> 00:17:06.430 Come and share it. Come and share with us. Share 00:17:06.430 --> 00:17:08.289 what you're up to and building.

We'd love to honor what that 00:17:10.150 --> 00:17:11.769 looks like if you're out there helping and serving 00:17:11.769 --> 00:17:14.430 people. And that's worth talking about. And ideally, 00:17:14.670 --> 00:17:17.490 you find the people who are willing to say like, 00:17:17.509 --> 00:17:19.130 dang, I love what you're living for. I want to 00:17:19.130 --> 00:17:21.470 help you build this. Be that leader. who leads 00:17:21.470 --> 00:17:23.190 the rest. And we'll see you guys in the next 00:17:23.190 --> 00:17:25.170 episode of Vision Pros. Thank you for being here 00:17:25.170 --> 00:17:27.049 today.
