1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,160 All right, welcome in to Vision Pros Live. 2 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,560 With Jackson Callame, I'm your show host. 3 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,640 We'll be doing interviews for visionary entrepreneurs 4 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,320 and guests, guest leaders who are building fantastic visions 5 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:18,820 out there. 6 00:00:18,820 --> 00:00:19,920 That could be CEOs. 7 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:21,280 It could be CMOs. 8 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,080 It could be government leaders, perhaps. 9 00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:26,480 It could be people who work at schools 10 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,280 and are teaching kids and taking education 11 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:29,320 to the next level. 12 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,040 There's a lot of different types of individuals 13 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:32,360 that we could invite on this. 14 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,160 And today, what I wanted to do is 15 00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:37,840 establish a pattern of having, well, 16 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:39,080 I want to lead by example. 17 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:40,520 I want to make sure that I get the chance 18 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:41,520 to get the vision out there. 19 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,200 So we're playing with the technology. 20 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:44,800 We're making sure that everything 21 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:46,120 with StreamYard works correctly. 22 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,440 That's what we're using to launch 23 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,360 this particular episode. 24 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,880 And we're streaming live on Facebook, on LinkedIn, on YouTube. 25 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,400 And I want to give you guys some behind the scenes 26 00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:00,360 secrets of how we've built what we've built at first class 27 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,680 business, as well as what we're building out for vision pros, 28 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,760 what we do over at PassionPro, another vision of mine, 29 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,760 Opportunidades de Trabajo para Latinos, 30 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,960 which is our group for opportunities for Latinos 31 00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:12,760 to find work. 32 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,680 Able Health is another company that I help grow. 33 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,560 And ultimately, I just want to go through some of the things 34 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,840 that might help you with your visions. 35 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,040 So if you have questions, don't hesitate to ask them 36 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:25,280 while this is live. 37 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:26,840 If you're watching this after the fact, 38 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,160 we will have a team, and I will be there as well, 39 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,840 to answer questions, dive into comments, 40 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,200 and make sure that your needs are met. 41 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:34,160 This is about serving. 42 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,440 So if there's one person out there who hears the stories, 43 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:37,320 it come on. 44 00:01:37,320 --> 00:01:39,640 And it's able to move your life forward. 45 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,520 And you're able to be inspired to pursue your own visions. 46 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:44,480 We've done our job. 47 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:45,920 That's exactly what this is all about. 48 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,440 So when it comes to live streaming, 49 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,400 and when it comes to launching new networks, 50 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,400 one of the most important thing that you have to be aware of, 51 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,880 and as well as with building out your visions, 52 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,040 is you're going to face new opportunities 53 00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:59,320 that are a little bit scary. 54 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,160 You're going to have to sometimes go out of your comfort zone. 55 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:03,280 And as part of that, you're going to have 56 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,680 to use technologies, perhaps, that you're not familiar with, 57 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,160 or you might have to be put on stage when you're not 58 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:09,920 prepared to give a talk. 59 00:02:09,920 --> 00:02:13,960 And in this case, I came in purposefully, 60 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,640 ready to just do this raw, to get out there 61 00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:19,800 and to make sure that you know, OK, I'm speaking from the heart. 62 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,560 I'm coming with content based on years of experience, not 63 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,120 based on something pre-written. 64 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,200 And again, let me go ahead and click this button here. 65 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,880 It says, live streaming isn't enabled in this group. 66 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:32,760 So I'm not going to worry about that right now. 67 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,960 I'm just going to hit Remove for that destination. 68 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,880 And it's going to give me a cleaner interface 69 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,920 so I can get back to my comments in case there's 70 00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:41,280 people who decide to comment. 71 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,240 So if you have a vision that you're pursuing, 72 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,600 drop a link in the comments and let us know what that is. 73 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:51,280 That's a business or a brand, if it's a nonprofit that you run. 74 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:52,280 Be happy to promote it. 75 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:53,840 Be happy to talk to you about it. 76 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,680 And if you'd like to apply to be on Vision Pros 77 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,240 and be interviewed about that vision, then by all means, 78 00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:59,560 feel free to reach out. 79 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:04,400 So one of the challenges that visionaries face, 80 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,320 again, is being put on the spot, is 81 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,320 having to make sure that you're comfortable with being 82 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,120 uncomfortable, whether it's the fact that you've got a team 83 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:14,960 to guide, and they need your guidance, 84 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,240 and they need your calm, still small voice, 85 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,800 or whether it's being asked to do an impromptu speech 86 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,400 at an event that you just happened to attend, 87 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,960 and somebody's like, hey, do you mind getting up and saying 88 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,440 something about so-and-so? 89 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,400 How do you say poise in those environments? 90 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:32,280 How do you stay ready? 91 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:33,800 I'd love some of y'all's ideas, too. 92 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,760 For anybody tuning in, given it's a first episode, 93 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,400 I anticipate our audience will be somewhat small with this 94 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:40,320 and grow over time. 95 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,760 But if you happen to have an idea of how do you become poise 96 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,040 and centered, and what it is that you're 97 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,320 providing to the world, or what it is when you have 98 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:53,160 an opportunity, let's say, to stand up and to speak on stage, 99 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,360 well, in my life, I think one of the most important things 100 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,880 that you can do in those moments is take a breath. 101 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,320 Realize that silence is only as awkward as you're 102 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:03,440 willing to make it. 103 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,320 A lot of times, people want to fill the silence with rambling. 104 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,400 Rambling doesn't typically lead us to say our best points. 105 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,000 Number two, think of stories. 106 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,160 Think of a story that you can share with people about an experience 107 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:18,800 that relates to them. 108 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,200 So my first time having an experience like this, 109 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:23,920 I was in Uruguay. 110 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,080 And I was knocking doors of the Mission Companion. 111 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,400 And so here we go. 112 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:28,760 We knock a door. 113 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,640 And we were 19-year-old kids, 19-year-old boys. 114 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,240 And the person who opened the door 115 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:39,280 was a very young, beautiful lady and an R-age. 116 00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:43,400 And as missionaries, that's a no-go zone. 117 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,480 You don't engage with the opposite sex at your age. 118 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,760 And my companion was my leader. 119 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,040 And I was brand new to the mission. 120 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,520 I didn't know what to do. 121 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,200 And I looked at him, and he just looked back at me and smiled. 122 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:56,680 And he just stayed quiet. 123 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,600 He wanted to put me on the spot in this scenario. 124 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,360 And I froze and I panicked. 125 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,440 I didn't know what to do. 126 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:03,560 It's OK. 127 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,000 We have those experiences in life 128 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,600 where we don't know what to do. 129 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,200 The most important thing that you can do if you don't know 130 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,080 what to do when you freeze an event 131 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,120 is to get back on the horse and try again. 132 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:15,520 Life's not about being perfect. 133 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,120 Life's about making sure that you do prepare enough to know 134 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:18,560 what to say. 135 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:19,840 And yes, I did recover. 136 00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:22,600 And I said what I needed to about talking to her parents 137 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:23,720 if they were home, they weren't. 138 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,160 We moved on our way and kept going. 139 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,000 But how many times are you going to be placed on the spot 140 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,840 in your life where you don't know what to do, 141 00:05:30,840 --> 00:05:32,160 don't know how to act? 142 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:33,080 It depends. 143 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:34,720 Are you trying to get yourself out there? 144 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,880 Or are you not? 145 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,440 Are you too scared to talk to people 146 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:39,920 about the vision that you have? 147 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,520 I hope that everybody listened to this. 148 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,320 If you have a vision, you're out there sharing it with people. 149 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,040 You're willing to put yourself out there boldly. 150 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:48,800 Now that leads to step number two. 151 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,960 Make sure that people that you share your vision with 152 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,040 are people that respect your vision. 153 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,160 Now you're going to have to share your vision sometimes 154 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:56,960 with people who won't. 155 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:58,080 And that's OK. 156 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,280 But you want to build a team of people who can support you 157 00:06:01,280 --> 00:06:03,920 because it's really hard to succeed 158 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,960 if you don't have an environment of support around you, 159 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,040 whether that's family members, whether that's friends, 160 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,960 whether that's making new friends. 161 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,640 I was talking to one of my friends today, one of my advisors. 162 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,040 His name is Dean Forbes. 163 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,040 Dean is actually going to be on the show tomorrow. 164 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,320 I'm really excited to have him because he's 165 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,280 one of the best people that I know about establishing 166 00:06:24,280 --> 00:06:28,800 relationships quickly and helping people understand 167 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,320 both the value that he provides but the value of moving 168 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,080 their life in a direction in relation to something 169 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,080 that they need that they're not doing. 170 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,520 OK, so if you want to have influence on your audience, 171 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,640 if you're talking to your children 172 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,480 and you want to help them be inspired to change the actions, 173 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,200 to change the behaviors that they have, 174 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,480 you have to learn how to communicate them with them 175 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,520 in a way that makes that possible, that makes that effective. 176 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:56,280 So I was talking to Dean and he said, Jackson, 177 00:06:56,280 --> 00:06:58,600 how do you find team members? 178 00:06:58,600 --> 00:06:59,800 Like, I don't know how you did it. 179 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,720 How'd you find these team members that are so amazing? 180 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,760 I have an incredible team working with me. 181 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,400 And I listened to his question intently 182 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,480 and I realized he used the word find. 183 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,840 And I thought, we actually don't find team members that 184 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:15,760 are amazing. 185 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,680 We attract team members that are amazing. 186 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,760 That's how this whole thing started. 187 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,360 This business, first class business, 188 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:26,160 is something I was preparing for seven to eight years prior 189 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:27,120 to actually launching it. 190 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,640 And I was building experience prior to that. 191 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,280 And when I finally met Dr. Todd Snyder, 192 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,320 we weren't planning on launching first class business. 193 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:37,760 I was there to listen to his needs 194 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,840 about desiring to build another scalable business model. 195 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,920 And as I listened to what his needs were, 196 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,960 he shared with me the vision for what he was up to. 197 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,640 And I shared back with him, interesting. 198 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,360 Here are some assets that I have, some things 199 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,040 that I've created along that path. 200 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,600 And we kept going back and forth in our conversation. 201 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,520 We're very aware of what it is we wanted to create 202 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,520 because we've been building for so long. 203 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,480 And it came to a point where I said, listen, Dr. Snyder, 204 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:02,120 I didn't call him that. 205 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:03,160 I called him Todd. 206 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,440 I said, Todd, I have basically been building 207 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,880 what you want to build for the last six to eight years. 208 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,840 And I'd love to go 50-50 with you on it, 209 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,280 if that's what you want to do. 210 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,520 And that's exactly what we decided to do. 211 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,160 And so Todd, with his lead to, he's 212 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,600 much more of what I call a break of a car. 213 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,320 I'm more of a throttle in a relationship. 214 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:25,760 You're going to have different roles. 215 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,760 And you have to learn to respect the different roles 216 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,960 if you're going to build a vision that incorporates more 217 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,160 than one mind, correct? 218 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,160 So it was a really cool experience 219 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,120 of working together to harmonize and make sure 220 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,000 that we were on the same page about every little detail. 221 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,680 I don't know very many people I've harmonized better 222 00:08:43,680 --> 00:08:46,240 with about all of the minute details 223 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,400 because we had no fear about figuring out legally, 224 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,000 how do we want to set this entity up tax-wise? 225 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,600 What are we willing to explore? 226 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,280 Which options can we look at? 227 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:57,760 How fast are we going to grow this? 228 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,520 What's going to be our primary objectives? 229 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,200 What elements of the business do you 230 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,400 want to take care of versus that I want to take care of? 231 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,440 We had an extremely healthy communication 232 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,040 about that process for the onboarding experience. 233 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,600 We had our target demographic down. 234 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,960 And we knew how to describe more or less what we wanted 235 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,880 to offer and service to be and how it was we wanted to help. 236 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,360 But we also knew that as an incubated startup, 237 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,040 we had to start by truly listening to our audience. 238 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,920 We had to start by finding out, what 239 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,160 is it that our audience wants from us 240 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,000 before we just go out and create some random thing 241 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,040 that we think they want. 242 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:37,360 So we got together and moved a lot of the elements 243 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,920 for that I've seen so many startups skip and not take 244 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,400 the time to build out. 245 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,520 And I'm really grateful that Todd was part of that 246 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:49,160 because he took a lot of the preliminary precautions 247 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,400 that sometimes I set to the side as a more risky 248 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:56,880 entrepreneur in nature, his low risk tolerance 249 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,800 allowed us to get those aspects set up 250 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,080 while I was able to focus on driving the vision forward that 251 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,760 was a little bit more outside of his comfort zone. 252 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,880 So again, break and gas pedal. 253 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,960 It's important to know that in many people's visions, 254 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,560 you want to make room and space for having that. 255 00:10:13,560 --> 00:10:16,760 So communication ends up being key. 256 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,800 When it comes to attracting, that 257 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,680 led to us attracting other people who 258 00:10:21,680 --> 00:10:23,600 wanted to be in an environment like that. 259 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,840 An environment with two very dynamic, different. 260 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:33,080 We're talking about Dr. Todd, who went to the Baylor University 261 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,760 doctorate program that's three times harder to get into than 262 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,720 any other doctorate program in the nation. 263 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,680 And he graduated almost twice as fast as anybody 264 00:10:40,680 --> 00:10:41,440 who goes through that. 265 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:46,160 He's extremely academic and he's extremely good at getting 266 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,240 things done and teaching people about productivity. 267 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,760 You can actually research more about Dr. Todd Snyder 268 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,520 at ToddSnyderCoaching.com. 269 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,440 So in addition to that, let's look at the polar opposite 270 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:57,440 that I am. 271 00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:58,960 I'm a college dropout. 272 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:00,400 I didn't finish. 273 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,440 I had a 0.33 GPA in college. 274 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,000 And it's not because I'm not smart. 275 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,440 It's because I couldn't apply myself. 276 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:08,160 I didn't know how. 277 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,080 I didn't fit into that infrastructure. 278 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,840 I have a very different way of learning and doing things. 279 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,000 And so here we come together and we 280 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,160 start working on this opportunity 281 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,160 to grow this business with my background as a business owner 282 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,560 taking lots of risk and diving into different startups 283 00:11:22,560 --> 00:11:25,320 and stuff and knowing that my vision and my purpose 284 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,960 was to help businesses build sustainable revenue growth 285 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,520 and also ultimately provide an economic platform 286 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,040 to be able to help Latinos throughout the world. 287 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,320 Honestly, I don't know why I'm tied so strongly 288 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:39,480 to that vision. 289 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,040 I just know I am. 290 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,400 I just know that's where I'm needed and that's where I serve. 291 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:44,760 I know it's important. 292 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,520 All right, so here we come. 293 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:51,680 And we started attracting new people to join this company, 294 00:11:51,680 --> 00:11:55,120 not by reaching out to them, by them understanding, well, 295 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:56,800 I want to be a part of this. 296 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:57,880 Can I be a part of this? 297 00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:59,720 And then setting healthy and clear boundaries 298 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,240 for that to happen. 299 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,640 Then of course, yes, if you go to firstclassbusiness.io 300 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,160 and you look, one of our core pillars 301 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:11,520 is we have a call to action on there that says, join our team. 302 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,520 Let's go ahead and go into present mode. 303 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,160 I'm going to go ahead and share my screen 304 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,560 and share that with you what I'm talking about. 305 00:12:17,560 --> 00:12:20,280 There's too many visionaries and too many entrepreneurs 306 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:24,160 out there that don't create a clear vision for those 307 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,040 that they're trying to work with. 308 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,960 And if you do that, you create a lack of certainty, which 309 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,800 creates a lack of progress. 310 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:33,760 We didn't want that. 311 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:37,040 We wanted to make sure that we created a clear vision for those 312 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,360 that are working with us so they can talk about it 313 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,400 with calm confidence, ultimately. 314 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,760 And so one of our big components, 315 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,640 one of our big secrets, one of my big secrets 316 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,760 for all the companies that I've helped establish and move 317 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:54,440 forward throughout life is make your team members, 318 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,880 your core clients, the people that you want to serve the most. 319 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,240 If you as leaders serve your team members 320 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,160 and take care of your team members 321 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,320 and you understand their vision and you understand 322 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:08,040 how they fit within the vision itself, 323 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,120 they will know that they belong and they will show up 324 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:10,880 and serve well. 325 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,080 So our number one call to action on our page 326 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:15,320 is join our team. 327 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,040 We want people who come through this process 328 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:22,280 to realize that we do put a lot of heart, energy, and effort 329 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,920 into making sure that our people are treated, ultimately 330 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:30,200 like superstars, and in sports. 331 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:34,520 If we're not putting our team member, thank you, Cynthia. 332 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,960 Cynthia did so much great work to help 333 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,000 us get our designs in a position where we could launch 334 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,360 this podcast and launch so many other elements. 335 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:43,560 She's our head designer. 336 00:13:43,560 --> 00:13:44,920 We absolutely love working with her 337 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,600 and we love how she leads the team. 338 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,280 Once again, how do we land somebody who's 339 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,160 so good at taking care of the team 340 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,800 and taking care of what it is that we're up to? 341 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:56,040 Because we attract it. 342 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,360 We attract it by showing people how much we care about them. 343 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,640 And in turn, our people go out and care about those we serve 344 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,560 because they know that they're safe 345 00:14:04,560 --> 00:14:06,400 and they belong in our environment. 346 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,240 And it creates what's called a virtuous cycle. 347 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,960 And that's something I pay attention to in everything 348 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:13,680 that I do and I look for visionaries. 349 00:14:13,680 --> 00:14:16,200 I look for entrepreneurs who follow and abide 350 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:17,720 by the same principles. 351 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,360 They're people who build virtuous cycles, 352 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:26,600 meaning when I say thank you and you say, it's my pleasure, 353 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,920 and then I say, hey, you say thank you to me 354 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:31,680 and I say it's my pleasure, that's 355 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,200 a small virtuous cycle that a lot of us 356 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:36,680 are taught since we're little. 357 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,280 And it's easy to abide by, but it 358 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,040 can create a stronger and stronger and bigger, bigger 359 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:42,480 relationship as that grows. 360 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,400 It's one small principle, but there 361 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:48,320 are so many elements of communication that can go wrong. 362 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,360 And sometimes people think that, well, 363 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,240 communication is something you train kids to do, 364 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,040 or I don't need to coach anymore. 365 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,000 I worry about those individuals. 366 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:01,720 I worry for them because usually the moment you put those walls 367 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:03,560 up and those fences up and say, you know what, 368 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,160 I'm just going to stay in my silo. 369 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,240 I don't need that type of help. 370 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,400 It's usually the moment you actually step off the edge, 371 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,160 the ledge, so to speak, and fall on your face. 372 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,160 So it's very important that we're constantly 373 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,760 looking for ways to improve how we're serving in the world 374 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,760 and who we're serving in the world. 375 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:25,360 So with that, let's talk a little bit about the vision 376 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,400 that we have for first class business. 377 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,560 Why is it that I'm in these different companies? 378 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:35,240 What is it that drives me to be a visionary? 379 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,840 One of the things that drives me is I'm a father. 380 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:39,360 I'm a father of four children, and I 381 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,920 love and I take, it's hard not to talk about, 382 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,120 it's hard to talk about that without crying, 383 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:46,800 like without, when I really feel it, 384 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:51,840 but my role in this life for the most important role 385 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,000 that I have is to be an example to my children. 386 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,160 And so early on in the phase of realizing 387 00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,600 that I had talents to become a business owner 388 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,960 and I had talents to learn how to do all this stuff, 389 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,320 as I started to work with different companies, 390 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,440 I began to form stories in my head of, all right, 391 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,080 if I'm going to go to that day at school with my kids 392 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,240 and talk about what I do, I want to make sure 393 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,040 my story is cool, right, for my kids. 394 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,560 I want my kids to be proud of me as a father. 395 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,680 And that morphed and changed dramatically 396 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,120 as I matured as a father and I realized, wow, 397 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,480 if I dedicate, as more opportunities came 398 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:27,800 and I almost got to work with Google, 399 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,640 but then I worked with a startup that was invested 400 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,560 in by Paul Buchain, they mentored Gmail, 401 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,040 and they don't care yet. 402 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,040 They're a little bit too young to care about those aspects 403 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,720 so far, but as they get older and they look back, 404 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,000 what I want them to look back and see is, oh, 405 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,640 dad was involved in a viral video ad campaign 406 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,320 for Nordic Track, that's pretty cool, right? 407 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,480 Kids like the cool stuff. 408 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,760 Oh, dad helped Jake Larson scale 409 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,960 and expand video power marketing. 410 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,920 And he was really one of the first people, 411 00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,960 one of the first people using YouTube advertising. 412 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,920 Do we blame dad for that or do we thank dad for that? 413 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,520 It creates a fun conversation in the home at this point 414 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,320 on that subject. 415 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,560 And then they learned, oh, wow, 416 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,080 dad and the team of video power 417 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,880 helped the truth about cancer raise several million dollars 418 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,600 in a matter of two and a half months 419 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,000 to help people overcome cancer. 420 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,400 Like, that's pretty awesome. 421 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,800 And ultimately what I want my kids to be thinking about 422 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,120 is what can I do in this world? 423 00:17:27,120 --> 00:17:29,480 Like if dad was able to do all these things 424 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,920 and dad's helping me learn how to move my vision forward, 425 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,120 what is it that he can help me accomplish? 426 00:17:35,120 --> 00:17:38,720 And that's another, it's just a realization 427 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:42,360 of if you're out there pursuing big things, right? 428 00:17:42,360 --> 00:17:44,840 And ultimately at the end of the day, 429 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,320 if you're a parent and you want to influence your children, 430 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,480 like pursue your dreams, 431 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,000 go after things you care about, 432 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,000 show them what's most important in life, right? 433 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:54,960 It's them that's most important, most likely, 434 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,240 but it's also showing them how to maximize their life 435 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,440 and live a life that they can love. 436 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,840 We're actually gonna bring my kids on Division Pros 437 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:04,680 next week. 438 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,920 This episode will be my children next week. 439 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:09,720 They're gonna be with me for spring break 440 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,760 and I'll give you a little backstory on this. 441 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,160 My daughter brought me this book and said, 442 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,120 dad, she's 11, she was 10 at the time. 443 00:18:16,120 --> 00:18:17,520 She said, this book is awful. 444 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:21,360 You know, she's like, it's just poorly written. 445 00:18:21,360 --> 00:18:23,240 I could write a better book than this. 446 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:24,880 And I said, you're right, you can. 447 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:25,800 It's like, first of all, I agree with you. 448 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:26,840 It's not a great book. 449 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:28,240 Second up, you can. 450 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:29,440 And so I'll tell you what, 451 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,480 if you publish your own children's book, 452 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,640 I will pay you $100 and her eyes set up. 453 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,640 And my seven-year-old heard me say that. 454 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,680 My seven-year-old runs to the craft room 455 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,200 and she grabs the crafts 456 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,960 and she starts working on writing her own children's book. 457 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,000 And she's like, dad, will you pay me $100 458 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,440 if I write a children's book? 459 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,520 And I was like, yeah, absolutely. 460 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,080 If you write and publish, you gotta publish it, right? 461 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,320 So we've been working on that project 462 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:55,360 for a few months now. 463 00:18:55,360 --> 00:18:56,520 They've done awesome. 464 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,680 They're constantly, like, engaged in this. 465 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,160 If they weren't, we wouldn't do it. 466 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,440 It's all about teaching them, you know, 467 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,680 the principles of life, like how to build a spreadsheet, 468 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:09,240 you know, for a contributor's list 469 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,160 who can contribute to making this possible, 470 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,040 meeting with the publisher, 471 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,280 learning how to do an advertisement for those books, 472 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:17,560 getting the book finished, right? 473 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,280 Now that we're so far along, 474 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,160 yeah, no matter what, we're finishing this. 475 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,120 Like, even if they don't wanna finish it, 476 00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:24,880 at this point, it's my responsibility as a dad 477 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,040 to help them learn to follow through. 478 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,120 But it's so easy because they've been so willing 479 00:19:30,120 --> 00:19:32,280 and they really enjoyed the process of doing that, 480 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:33,280 where they've caught a vision. 481 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:37,040 So next week, they'll be sharing their visions 482 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:41,160 as to why they wanted to do this, what inspired them, 483 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,520 you know, to want to spend their Saturday with me 484 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,600 talking about a callback script, you know, 485 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,760 and actually sending their manuscript to people 486 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,400 and then calling back and learning to say, you know, 487 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,760 hey, Ant Veronica, you know, 488 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,160 what did you think of the book? 489 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,760 And guiding that person through the process of learning 490 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,000 how to contribute to their authorship. 491 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,360 That's just, it's just awesome. 492 00:20:03,360 --> 00:20:05,160 It's so fun to be able to help them do that. 493 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,720 But that's really one of the greatest whys behind my vision 494 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,080 is everything that I get to be involved with, 495 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,760 every business I get to launch and be involved with 496 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,080 is another story to teach my kids 497 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,000 about what I'm doing to give back in this life. 498 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,840 It's not about the finances alone. 499 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:23,800 In fact, I used to say, and here's something 500 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,400 that I hope you write down, if you're a new visionary 501 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:30,240 or you're somebody who has an entrepreneurial venture, 502 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:35,200 I spent many years with a very toxic relationship with money. 503 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,200 And it was not to my best interest. 504 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,320 It was, I, I, I, I, I say toxic relationship. 505 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,160 My statement was, I don't care about the money. 506 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,840 If you've ever said that before, you can relate to it. 507 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:47,400 I used to say it all the time. 508 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,120 A few years ago, I switched gears and realized, 509 00:20:50,120 --> 00:20:52,320 wait a second, if I don't care about the money, 510 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,240 the money won't care about me. 511 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,600 There's a grand difference between having a love of money 512 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,280 and recognizing that money is just a resource 513 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:01,600 and it's an important resource. 514 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,160 It's a resource that's a vehicle 515 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,240 to help us accomplish more things in this life. 516 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:09,280 It is important to maximize our talents and to spread them. 517 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,320 It's important not to say, I don't care about it. 518 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,760 It's important to become a wise steward. 519 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,560 Alvin Jackson, oh man, I love you dude. 520 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:19,480 Alvin's amazing. 521 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,360 He is, he's a wise steward in many respects. 522 00:21:22,360 --> 00:21:24,720 Somebody who has helped me in my life 523 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:28,160 understand how I can be a better father as a single father. 524 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,400 And, and so great respect for you. 525 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,200 Appreciate the applause, my friend. 526 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:36,320 We've got to appreciate our finances 527 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,840 and we've got to learn how to maximize them 528 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:43,360 in order to ultimately achieve most of our visions in life. 529 00:21:43,360 --> 00:21:45,920 And you may be the exception to the role of that 530 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:47,720 and that's just fine if you are. 531 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,240 But I know that all the things that I want to accomplish 532 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,040 and the things that I want to do for others 533 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:53,640 require that I be a wise steward 534 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,240 so I can have the financial capability 535 00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:00,320 and also just in general, the security, the health, 536 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,240 the wellness, the mindset, the emotions, all of that. 537 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:07,000 I'm gonna be my best self and have my best life 538 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,400 if I do the things that are required to be my best self. 539 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,200 And that's ultimately what it's all about too. 540 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,800 So first class business, right? 541 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,320 That vision of that company is to help businesses 542 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:20,800 establish sustainable revenue growth. 543 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:22,440 What types of businesses? 544 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,480 Visionary entrepreneurs. 545 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,760 I need heart driven leaders, 546 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,280 people who care about their service at large 547 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,160 and what they're doing for others. 548 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:36,320 It's far easier to teach them the principles of wealth 549 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,560 than it is to teach somebody who's addicted to wealth 550 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,920 learn to stop thinking about their own needs 551 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:43,560 and start thinking about others. 552 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,600 That's a very hard transition. 553 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,560 I talk about one of the tests that I do 554 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:52,240 with my entrepreneurs to help them recognize 555 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,120 whether they're thinking about themselves 556 00:22:55,120 --> 00:22:56,160 or they're thinking about others. 557 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:57,840 So some of you, this will come naturally to others. 558 00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,880 This may just go right over your head. 559 00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:02,400 But ultimately the test is I ask people 560 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:03,840 why they do what they do. 561 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,600 And there's two types of answers I get from people. 562 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:08,120 People who are not heart centered, 563 00:23:08,120 --> 00:23:09,400 meaning they have a heart, 564 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:10,720 but they're not centered around it. 565 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,600 They have the ability to inspire others, but they're not. 566 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,040 They have responses like this, Jackson, 567 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,680 I do what I do because I want my bills paid, 568 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,360 I want a bigger house, I want a bigger car, 569 00:23:21,360 --> 00:23:24,000 I want my kids, I want to be able to pay for my kids school, 570 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,400 I want a boat, I want to be able to take time off. 571 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,200 And they don't realize how many times 572 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:29,960 they just said the word I. 573 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,480 And you're sitting there, I'm sitting there going, 574 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,920 oh my, oh my, how are you gonna inspire others 575 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,520 to want to buy from you or want to believe in your vision 576 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:42,280 if it doesn't include anybody but yourself? 577 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,840 On the flip side, when I ask people, 578 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:45,680 why do you do what you do? 579 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,000 Why do you care? 580 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:48,120 Right, I don't ask that first. 581 00:23:48,120 --> 00:23:50,760 I ask them, why do they do what they do? 582 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,080 And the heart centered leaders say, 583 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:58,120 because I love the effect that it has on other individuals. 584 00:23:58,120 --> 00:24:00,400 I love seeing visionary entrepreneurs, 585 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:04,000 for instance, break free from not only the finances, 586 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,080 but from the day to day operations. 587 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:10,960 I love teaching entrepreneurs how to get time freedom 588 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,200 to be able to not be irresponsible 589 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,120 and sit on a beach all day, 590 00:24:15,120 --> 00:24:17,320 but to have the ability to be there for their family 591 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,200 and be centered when they are. 592 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,600 Right, I love empowering entrepreneurs 593 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,640 to be able to let go and sleep at night 594 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,280 and not be thinking about all the calls they have coming in 595 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,280 because they have a team who supports them. 596 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,600 I love seeing an entrepreneur go from a team 597 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,600 that is serving them because they're scared of them 598 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:40,040 or because it's their duty to do their jobs, they do it, 599 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:41,760 to showing up because they love to be there 600 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:43,040 and they wanna support the vision 601 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:44,600 and they feel like they belong with it. 602 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,640 Right, those are all elements of aspects 603 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,040 of why I do what I do. 604 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,880 I love seeing the transformation take place in people's lives. 605 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:55,240 I love seeing entrepreneurs stop relying on marketers 606 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,320 to make their marketing decisions for them. 607 00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,120 That's one of the most unhealthy practices 608 00:24:59,120 --> 00:25:00,240 a business owner can make, 609 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:04,480 is to put their decisions in the hands 610 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:05,920 of all the people around them 611 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,000 who are still trying to figure the vision out. 612 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:09,560 I love the transition that takes place 613 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,280 when a visionary realizes, 614 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,360 oh, it's my responsibility to guide 615 00:25:13,360 --> 00:25:17,000 and it's my responsibility to learn how to critical think 616 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,040 and how to guide people and where to listen, 617 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,880 how to listen to their heart and their mind 618 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,440 and subjectively look at their opportunities 619 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,440 in front of them so they can make moves 620 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:27,680 that are more holistic in nature 621 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,760 that lead to long-term growth 622 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,080 and to see them reposition themselves as a leader 623 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,400 and show up in a way that they can love those 624 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,600 that they serve and everybody can insert 625 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,480 to love how they're serving. 626 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,280 And it's just, it's amazing to see the virtuous process 627 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,960 take effect and to see their lives transform 628 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,840 and to see them inspired to represent what they did 629 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:51,840 in an entirely new way. 630 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,240 So that's one, one vision. 631 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:55,720 If you have a vision to share, 632 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,000 please share it in the comments. 633 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:58,160 If you have a question to ask, 634 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,880 don't hesitate to ask it in the comments as well. 635 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,360 If there's a, if you wanna be 636 00:26:03,360 --> 00:26:06,160 on the Vision Pros Live podcast, 637 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,760 don't hesitate to apply, we can get to the application link, 638 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,360 just reach out to us, you know, person to person, 639 00:26:11,360 --> 00:26:14,040 human-to-human interaction, that's what it's all about. 640 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,920 And tomorrow, again, we will have Dean Forbes 641 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,280 of Epic's Academy on board and you don't wanna miss that. 642 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:23,000 He's an amazing, amazing teacher, trainer, 643 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:27,200 and master of communication to strengthen relationships. 644 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:28,840 And I can't say that enough. 645 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,320 Most people have mediocre relationships in life 646 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,440 and they put barriers and walls up in their life 647 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:35,280 to protect that, right? 648 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,840 We're often told, don't talk about politics. 649 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,560 Don't talk about, now gender. 650 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,560 Don't talk about race. 651 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,200 Don't talk about religion 652 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,360 if you wanna maintain your relationships. 653 00:26:46,360 --> 00:26:49,360 And I get it, like that's the safe zone, you know? 654 00:26:49,360 --> 00:26:50,800 Like you're putting yourself on the edge, 655 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:51,720 you're putting yourself out there 656 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,280 if you go hard towards those subjects. 657 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,200 But if you don't go hard towards those subjects, 658 00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,680 you're also locking yourself in a little box, right? 659 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,960 And you're saying, I don't wanna relate to people. 660 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:03,720 I don't want anybody to see me. 661 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:05,040 I wanna hide. 662 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:06,240 I wanna disappear. 663 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:07,080 And you know what? 664 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,560 There's a different type of misery and pain and suffering 665 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:11,400 and a lack of belonging that comes 666 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,440 from sheltering yourself further and further and further 667 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:15,760 away from society. 668 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,600 And so more so my takeaway 669 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,320 and what I'm excited to learn from Dean tomorrow 670 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,880 because it's just how amazing he is at teaching these concepts. 671 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,200 He can teach a concept that I can visualize and see, okay, 672 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:27,840 I'm practicing part of that in my life 673 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:29,920 but if I just have that one little tweak to it, 674 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,960 I can see how that will take my life up a notch 675 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,560 in all my relationships, not just business, 676 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:39,080 but also my relationship and ability to relate to my children, 677 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,120 to relate to my mother, to relate to people 678 00:27:41,120 --> 00:27:42,760 that I love and support in life. 679 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:44,760 So super awesome opportunity. 680 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:46,720 We'll take place tomorrow on the next episode. 681 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,240 That episode actually does not air at the same time 682 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:50,080 as these ones. 683 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,600 We're gonna be doing those at, don't quote me on this. 684 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,400 I think it's 1 p.m. tomorrow. 685 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,680 The good news is all those announcements get dropped 686 00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,080 on our social feeds as well. 687 00:27:58,080 --> 00:27:59,800 But yeah, tune in and learn from Dean 688 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,480 about how to take your relationships to the next level. 689 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:07,120 And it will help you dramatically improve your ability 690 00:28:07,120 --> 00:28:08,720 to influence others. 691 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:13,080 So let's talk about the vision of Able Health. 692 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:14,760 So I'm also here as a representative, 693 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,040 not just as CEO of First Class Business, 694 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,960 but also CEO of ablehealth.us. 695 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,720 And I'm a co-founder of that venture. 696 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,720 It is Dr. Seth Yates who partnered with me on that. 697 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,960 And he was building an incredible platform called Yip Fit 698 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,640 that was in concept, was amazing 699 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,280 and had a lot of elements behind it 700 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,160 to ultimately allow anybody who needs access 701 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,480 to a natural path to be able to access a natural path 702 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,280 as long as they had an internet source 703 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,400 and to be able to do so completely for free. 704 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,120 There's obviously opportunities on there 705 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:47,880 for us to monetize that too. 706 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,880 And to make sure that we have levels of service 707 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:55,160 that people can invest in in order to receive more help 708 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,440 that now empower us as a brand 709 00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,440 to expand that vision even further. 710 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,920 But I'm gonna show you what ablehealth.us looks like. 711 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:04,000 So let's go ahead and take a look. 712 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:05,560 Let me share my screen again. 713 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:09,080 We're gonna go back over here to the First Class Business page 714 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,080 and I'm gonna type out Able Health in the chat. 715 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,080 And I'm gonna show you a little bit about the transition too 716 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,120 because vision is all about 717 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,240 knowing how to answer right questions to gain clarity. 718 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,040 When Dr. Seth Yates came to me, 719 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:22,560 this is what his brand looked like. 720 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,520 It was YipFit.com. 721 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:25,600 I didn't know what a Yip was. 722 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:27,040 He didn't know what a Yip was. 723 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:28,360 And at least he didn't explain it. 724 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,240 And the more I dove in, the more I was, 725 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,080 I knew that the prospects were gonna be, 726 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:36,400 fill a repulsion to the brand experience. 727 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,720 So it doesn't really matter what metrics I put in here. 728 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:40,960 I'm just kind of OCD. 729 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,840 So I'm gonna put some things that don't, 730 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:46,880 they're too far stretched. 731 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:48,720 You know, you're not gonna wanna go through this. 732 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:49,760 I gotta get off the screen 733 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,440 so you guys stay on the show too. 734 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,880 Let's go back over here for Able Health.us. 735 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:55,760 This is what we designed and built. 736 00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,600 And we built it within a couple of months 737 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:02,080 after doing a ton of research and development to discover, 738 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,120 are we going for like a Gold Gems field? 739 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,480 Are we going for like the buff people? 740 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:10,120 Or are we going for more like a planet fitness? 741 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:11,560 And then we settled in on, 742 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,000 you know what, the real type of entity 743 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:18,080 that we need to model and learn from is Fitbit. 744 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:19,960 Because Fitbit's all inclusive. 745 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:21,840 It's about true health. 746 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:25,240 Not about taking one specific type of healthy figure 747 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:26,280 and moving them forward. 748 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,200 And so we created Able Health 749 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,360 with a much more holistic feel. 750 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,400 And the purpose of the initial launch 751 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:33,880 is to get some beta users. 752 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,840 We wanna get people in who are willing to give us feedback. 753 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:38,520 And based on that feedback, 754 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,720 we're able to continue to build out SMART 755 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,400 exactly what our audience is asking for. 756 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,520 And one of our audiences recognized that, 757 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:51,320 you know, they need better guidance in terms of 758 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,320 getting pregnant and starting their families. 759 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,600 And so we created a free quiz 760 00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,960 to help people who are striving to start their families 761 00:30:59,960 --> 00:31:01,600 have the health guidance they need 762 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:03,080 in order to get pregnant now 763 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:04,840 or reach their peak fertility. 764 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,840 And it was really awesome to build this process out. 765 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,400 And it was super fun seeing baby pictures 766 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,080 and getting them included in marketing. 767 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,120 It just, it makes you feel so good, 768 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:15,880 you know, to be involved in that process. 769 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:19,440 And if we happen to help a handful of mothers 770 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:20,480 improve their life, 771 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,120 I'm gonna be so excited about everything that we built 772 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:23,960 and got to do on this. 773 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:25,800 But the really cool thing is we're building a vision 774 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,880 to be able to help millions and millions, 775 00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,800 quite possibly hundreds of millions of families 776 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:33,000 with their health. 777 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,840 And that just like, how can I not spend my time, 778 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,200 you know, like maximizing this opportunity 779 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,720 when I've had the chance, you know, 780 00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,840 to pull it together and to be involved. 781 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,880 It's just, it's just so important to me 782 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,520 to maximize the opportunities that come across my plate. 783 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,320 So at Able Health, you know, we're, 784 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:57,080 while we've got that segment focused in on helping the women 785 00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:58,040 get the supplements they need 786 00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,400 because of Dr. Yates background, 787 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,600 as we come across more visionaries, you know, 788 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,920 doctors that may want to be involved, you know, 789 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,160 or other, other providers who are like, you know, 790

00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:15,120 We love to meet new visionaries. 794 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,480 I love to see how can we align because, you know, 795 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:22,160 there's an old saying, a bundle of sticks is stronger than one. 796 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,920 Right? And if you, and if you take a bunch of, 797 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,120 a bunch of sticks together and you try to break them, 798 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,680 they're not going to break, you know, as easily 799 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,520 as if you've just got one stick in your hand. 800 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,160 And so we're always looking for who's, 801 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,400 who's aligned with us, who's the right type of person, 802 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,520 who catches the vision for what we're doing 803 00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:40,640 over at First Class Business, 804 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,280 or who catches the vision for what we're doing 805 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,240 over Able Health, who catches the vision 806 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,920 of what we're up to at Vision Pros on this podcast. 807 00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,840 Who wants to come and inspire the audience that we have here 808 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,360 and help people take their lives to the next, 809 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,200 to the next level?

But one, one trick on that too. 846 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:24,120 I did not know I wanted to run first class business. 847 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,480 I didn't know that this wasn't my end in mind. 848 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,600 I did not know that I was going to be a partner 849 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:30,440 in a health company. 850 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,840 I would have never anticipated that. 851 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:37,080 I did not know that I was going to own 1% 852 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,600 of a marketing company in Toronto. 853 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:41,400 I wanted to be a basketball player. 854 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:42,400 I want to be a football player. 855 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:43,720 I want to be a soccer player. 856 00:34:43,720 --> 00:34:46,120 So when people say begin with the end of mind, 857 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,080 begin with the end of mind and be flexible 858 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,040 because your vision will shift and it will change over time. 859 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,440 And you can always jump back on track 860 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,760 with what that vision might need to look like 861 00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:58,160 or what you might need to do. 862 00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:01,000 And you may have pivots along the way, 863 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:02,680 which is why an old friend of mine, 864 00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:04,960 Cesar Torres and I actually launched a company back 865 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,120 in the day called Pivot Point. 866 00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,720 And so having the ability to pivot 867 00:35:09,720 --> 00:35:11,800 and to be malleable and recognize that, 868 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:12,920 you know what? 869 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,120 I don't have to be stringent. 870 00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:16,640 I don't have to be exact, right? 871 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:18,520 I don't have to be controlled 872 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,680 and I don't have to be controlling 873 00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:22,480 in the process of building my visions. 874 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,800 In fact, I should be flexible. 875 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,200 I should be aware of the opportunities. 876 00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:31,680 I should be more ready to enjoy the journey. 877 00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:32,920 You know, and that's really what I want 878 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,440 to inspire people to do is enjoy the journey, 879 00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:36,560 enjoy our journey. 880 00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:38,280 If you're seeing this episode 881 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,600 and it's five years from now looking back 882 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:42,360 on what it is that we've built, 883 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,640 I know I hope that you hear this 884 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:46,600 and understand that, you know, 885 00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,400 I don't know where this is going 886 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:50,720 in the five years from now 887 00:35:50,720 --> 00:35:53,520 and how many channels we'll be broadcasting on 888 00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,160 or who will be running this broadcast. 889 00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,320 Or, you know, if this is still running and building, 890 00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:01,040 we've got, you know, 10 million subscribers to it. 891 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:02,920 You know, I didn't predict that. 892 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,520 I just, all I did was I abided 893 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:07,600 by what's called the law of the harvest, 894 00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,600 which means I planted seeds that I knew were valuable 895 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:14,480 and I nurtured the earth where I planted those seeds 896 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,320 and I am going to take care of it 897 00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,600 and foster it for years to come. 898 00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,760 And by doing so, it's going to grow 899 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,360 and it's going to, you know, experience growth 900 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,880 and it's going to provide an abundance of wealth 901 00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,360 for those who are involved in the process. 902 00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,080 So enjoy the journey. 903 00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,400 You know, that's my greatest takeaway 904 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,880 I can share with you is no matter, you know, 905 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:38,480 no matter what stage you're at, 906 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,360 whether you're going through sad times 907 00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:41,480 or you're going through hard times, 908 00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:43,320 you're going through great times, 909 00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,960 take space and time to try to find what you can enjoy 910 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:48,200 with that portion of the journey. 911 00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:51,640 And if you're in the great times, breathe, 912 00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,920 be happy about it, be grateful for where you're at, 913 00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:56,880 share it with people, share with people 914 00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:58,480 why you're grateful that you're there, 915 00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:00,760 why you're grateful that they are there with you. 916 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:02,720 Take full advantage of those opportunities 917 00:37:02,720 --> 00:37:04,760 to build momentum when you have them. 918 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:06,480 One of the visions that we'll talk about 919 00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:08,640 on another episode in more depth 920 00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:10,880 is what we're doing over at Passion Pro. 921 00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,480 That's another channel that I haven't mentioned yet 922 00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:15,280 that we are actually streaming on 923 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:18,400 that has a lot to do with why we launched Vision Pros 924 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,400 and what we're up to in Passion Pro. 925 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,480 That is ultimately a program I created 926 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,040 to help people find their passions 927 00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:25,360 and live their purpose. 928 00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:27,480 And simultaneously, there's some selfishness 929 00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:28,800 built into that as well. 930 00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:30,920 I needed to be inspired this day 931 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:32,560 with my own passions. 932 00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:34,600 I knew how valuable it will be 933 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,720 to be accountable to that reality 934 00:37:36,720 --> 00:37:38,520 because I've seen too many adults in life. 935 00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:40,480 I watched, I was the youngest in my family 936 00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:42,600 and I got to watch all the adults grow up 937 00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:44,240 and some of them made great choices, 938 00:37:44,240 --> 00:37:45,720 some of them didn't make great choices, 939 00:37:45,720 --> 00:37:48,600 but it was certainly insightful to see 940 00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,600 and I watched all their friends and their friends' friends 941 00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:53,760 and the parents and the parents of those individuals. 942 00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:55,520 I don't, maybe that's just like unique to me. 943 00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:57,360 Maybe it didn't have to do where I came 944 00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:00,680 in the family order, but I watched and I observed 945 00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,880 and I watched movies like Hook with Peter Pan 946 00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,880 and how he lost sight of his vision 947 00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:08,480 and his passions and all that. 948 00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:10,400 And I got inspired by things like that 949 00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,560 and realized, oh man, if I'm not careful, 950 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:16,800 if I don't protect my dreams and I don't hang on to those, 951 00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:18,960 I could lose them and I could lose sight 952 00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,160 of the things that are most important to me in life. 953 00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:22,720 I don't ever wanna do that. 954 00:38:22,720 --> 00:38:24,600 And so that's one of the big reasons 955 00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,320 why I created Passion Pro was so that I would always 956 00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:30,320 have a reminder that I couldn't let go of 957 00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:32,320 that constantly kind of poked me. 958 00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,080 And it's like, hey man, like, hey, Mr. Entrepreneur, 959 00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:38,880 you know, hey, Mr. Dad, you know, hey, Mr. Husband, 960 00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:42,920 whatever my, hey, Mr. Divorcee, you know, whatever it was, 961 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:47,040 don't forget the things that are most important in your life. 962 00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,920 Don't forget to do those things and belong to those things. 963 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:54,200 And life has an interesting way of making sure 964 00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:57,280 that we do get back on track, but life also has 965 00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:00,000 an interesting way of rewarding us 966 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,600 when we proactively stay on that track 967 00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:03,720 and stay involved with it. 968 00:39:03,720 --> 00:39:06,760 And I'm really grateful for having positioned myself 969 00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:09,880 to have dozens of people around me who support that 970 00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:12,320 and who are willing to help me facilitate that 971 00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:16,160 and who allow me to influence them to do the same thing. 972 00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:17,640 And if you're one of those people 973 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:19,760 that are watching right now, I love you and I appreciate you. 974 00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,720 If you want to be part of that inner circle, 975 00:39:22,720 --> 00:39:25,280 then the only thing you need to do is ask, right? 976 00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:26,400 The invitation is there. 977 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,680 We'd be happy to have you in our circles, 978 00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:30,520 regardless of which circle that is. 979 00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:32,680 So my leave behinds for today. 980 00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:34,960 I'm gonna drop some links in the comments now 981 00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,360 to some of these visions that I've shared and talked about. 982 00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:39,840 And you're welcome to check them out. 983 00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,240 You know, I don't have, we won't be, 984 00:39:42,240 --> 00:39:43,880 we'll sometimes have guests on here 985 00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:46,680 who probably sell from stage, so to speak. 986 00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:49,160 They have some offer that makes sense to put out there. 987 00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,960 I've no problem allowing people to do that 988 00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:55,200 if they have the value that's relevant to the audience. 989 00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,640 But if they don't have something 990 00:39:57,640 --> 00:39:59,200 that's relevant to the audience 991 00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:02,840 and they have something that's free to give away, 992 00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:04,240 then of course we go that route. 993 00:40:04,240 --> 00:40:05,520 I'm a big free guy. 994 00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:07,080 I like to give free things away. 995 00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:10,960 So passionpro.org, the entire thing is free. 996 00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:12,240 We're not gonna charge for it. 997 00:40:12,240 --> 00:40:14,160 I will eventually have sponsors for it 998 00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:17,880 and that's how we will run the offers for Passion Pro. 999 00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:22,040 But I don't feel like that's the best way, 1000 00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:25,200 I don't feel like monetizing the content 1001 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:28,520 is the route to inspiring the 8 billion people 1002 00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:30,680 to pursue their passions that exist in this world. 1003 00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:34,120 I feel like we as a society have entities 1004 00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,920 that would be happy to contribute that 1005 00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,720 in the forms of sponsorships and advertisements. 1006 00:40:39,720 --> 00:40:41,960 So that's the route that will take Passion Pro 1007 00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:43,960 as we continue to build out. 1008 00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:47,360 For Able Health, AbleHealth.us. 1009 00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,920 And we're in the beta launch and program for that. 1010 00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:52,320 The cool thing about being part of a beta 1011 00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:55,040 is you get grandfathered into things 1012 00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:56,280 and the company does things, right? 1013 00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:57,640 And that's how we plan on doing things. 1014 00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:00,200 So you'll get the best rates, 1015 00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:03,200 you'll get the best opportunities as we build. 1016 00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:04,720 And I don't wanna overhype that. 1017 00:41:04,720 --> 00:41:06,600 As we build out those communities 1018 00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:09,160 and we get the central communities established, 1019 00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:10,960 the people who really understand the vision 1020 00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,560 and the value of being involved with AbleHealth, 1021 00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:15,280 then we can start organizing and planning 1022 00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:16,760 with those community members. 1023 00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,000 And kind of like the mother hen story, 1024 00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:20,840 which honestly I don't remember 1025 00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:22,440 the full end of the mother hen story 1026 00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:23,840 other than she tried to bake bread 1027 00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:25,240 and invite people to help her with it 1028 00:41:25,240 --> 00:41:26,400 and nobody ended up helping. 1029 00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,040 But I know the moral of the story is 1030 00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:32,000 if you have an opportunity to dive into something and help, 1031 00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:35,600 it's a really good idea to dive into that and help 1032 00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:39,960 because you're probably gonna get rewarded for it 1033 00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:40,800 after the fact. 1034 00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:42,040 So there's that. 1035 00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:44,200 Now let's go first class business. 1036 00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:48,040 What I'm gonna drop is the link to the Facebook group. 1037 00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:51,960 Now this Facebook group, again, back to the vision, 1038 00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:53,880 it's not designed to be promoted 1039 00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,000 to just anybody and everybody. 1040 00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:57,680 And it's not designed to be run 1041 00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:59,120 like a normal Facebook group. 1042 00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:00,600 I just see a lot of Facebook groups 1043 00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:02,160 have a lot of noise in them. 1044 00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:05,960 Ours is quiet and it's quiet with intent. 1045 00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:07,640 We wanna make sure that when we post in there, 1046 00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:09,560 it's a post that's actually valuable 1047 00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:12,000 and we don't wanna encourage our entrepreneurs 1048 00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,400 to waste time in Facebook groups. 1049 00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,040 Facebook groups are super important 1050 00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:17,760 as long as there's direct value 1051 00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,560 correlated with what we need for our lives. 1052 00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:23,400 But a lot of people in life, 1053 00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:25,560 a lot more people than should be in my opinion, 1054 00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:27,960 spend a lot of time consuming. 1055 00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:31,080 I teach people how to produce, not consume. 1056 00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:34,200 You can produce content or you can consume content. 1057 00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:37,320 And if I can help people produce content that's of value, 1058 00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:40,120 they position themselves as leaders in their life 1059 00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:42,200 and are then able to have followers 1060 00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:44,800 who contribute to whatever it is 1061 00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:46,680 that they're putting out into the world of value. 1062 00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,840 Now, I'm also gonna put in the chat 1063 00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:51,720 another portion of this vision is regarding 1064 00:42:51,720 --> 00:42:54,640 the Academy of First Class businesses. 1065 00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:58,080 And this is our academy to help entrepreneurs, 1066 00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:00,600 entrepreneurs and people who say, 1067 00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:02,920 hey, you know what, I might wanna start a business. 1068 00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:05,680 The checkout link that I sent is free as well. 1069 00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:07,960 And that link will allow you to dive into 1070 00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,040 what's called the Revenue Growth Workbook 1071 00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:12,280 and explore the idea of entrepreneurship 1072 00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,240 without any financial commitment. 1073 00:43:14,240 --> 00:43:17,000 And as you do so, you're actually gonna be working 1074 00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,600 in a workbook that we used at Video Power Marketing 1075 00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:21,280 that I've since built on and built on 1076 00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,360 and built on and built on and established new rules 1077 00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:26,880 and clarity for in order to help as many people as possible 1078 00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:29,320 leverage the principles of virality. 1079 00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:33,560 Yes, it is a science how you go viral on YouTube 1080 00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:37,400 and how you go viral on your Instagram posts 1081 00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:38,600 and all sorts of things like that. 1082 00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:40,120 It's a science, it's not an accident. 1083 00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:43,280 And it usually requires a lot of money for them 1084 00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:46,760 to be able to help themselves go viral over and over. 1085 00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:49,600 Well, if you follow that Revenue Growth Workbook 1086 00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:52,640 and you build out the audience you're speaking to, 1087 00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:54,480 the messaging you're putting out there, 1088 00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:57,000 the service that you're, 1089 00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,200 the clear service that you provide a value 1090 00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:01,160 and the offer that goes along with it, 1091 00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:03,400 you end up with a very, very good message 1092 00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:06,440 that people say, wow, like that resonates with me. 1093 00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:07,920 That's what I need. 1094 00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:09,520 Right, if you call out the audience and you say, 1095 00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:14,520 hey, this course is for people who only speak Italian 1096 00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:18,120 and live in Jamaica. 1097 00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:20,040 Well, anybody who doesn't live in Jamaica 1098 00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:23,120 and who doesn't speak Italian is not going to listen 1099 00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:25,800 to that message because it's not relevant to their lives. 1100 00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,520 We see entrepreneurs make that mistake a lot. 1101 00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:30,320 The Revenue Growth Workbook is what allows us 1102 00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,960 to align with them and help understand what it is 1103 00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:35,040 that their vision is that we can promote it to the world 1104 00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:36,840 and help them get their vision out there in a way 1105 00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:39,440 that allows their customers to buy from them 1106 00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:42,000 with more confidence and ultimately experience 1107 00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:44,720 what it is that they need so that in return, 1108 00:44:44,720 --> 00:44:47,000 the entrepreneur's business grows because of it. 1109 00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,000 So thank you for being here today. 1110 00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,520 I'm really happy that you tuned into Vision Pros Live. 1111 00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:55,040 I'm looking forward to seeing your reactions 1112 00:44:55,040
