00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,500
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the sheep get sheared podcast of your host Austin Creed.

2
00:00:05,500 --> 00:00:13,220
It's gonna be a shorter piece, my friends, because when you're busy, and you're in new

3
00:00:13,220 --> 00:00:20,020
place with a fresh storm in the roofing business, not a lot of free time not to mention, I

4
00:00:20,020 --> 00:00:24,100
do currently have a girlfriend. And so that also requires a lot of my attention as well.

5
00:00:24,100 --> 00:00:27,980
And you know what? I think what I'm going to do my friends before we get into the subject

6
00:00:27,980 --> 00:00:34,620
of the day, which is staying focused on success is, you know what? I think I'm going to have

7
00:00:34,620 --> 00:00:41,440
to do, um, I got biblical bachelor 2.0, or I'm going to have to do some kind of update

8
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:48,220
of how you can juggle a relationship if you want to like what to expect and what they're

9
00:00:48,220 --> 00:00:54,960
like if you choose to engage in them. And the pros and cons of it, almost like a second

10
00:00:54,960 --> 00:01:01,080
half to the biblical bachelor discussing the advantages of being single, as well as the

11
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:05,340
advantages of being in a relationship and then talking about the disadvantages of both

12
00:01:05,340 --> 00:01:10,000
and talking about how to make both work on this journey that you have that I may know

13
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:16,900
nothing about. The end of it is your journey, not mine. I'm just one man with with my opinion.

14
00:01:16,900 --> 00:01:22,860
That's what the show is one man's opinion with research and history back at all. But

15
00:01:22,860 --> 00:01:28,820
that's I think I need to do that because it's one thing for us an outsider looking in to

16
00:01:28,820 --> 00:01:33,580
say something. It's another when you're doing it. It's another when you, for example, you

17
00:01:33,580 --> 00:01:38,340
ask guys who've been divorced, right? And they'll tell you about what they thought going into

18
00:01:38,340 --> 00:01:42,060
the marriage, what they thought during the marriage and what they now think after the

19
00:01:42,060 --> 00:01:49,100
marriage in the same way that I can talk about a serious relationship as someone who's going

20
00:01:49,100 --> 00:01:55,060
into it and someone who's in it. I don't plan on an ending that I don't at the current

21
00:01:55,060 --> 00:02:02,060
moment. But at least I can talk about what it is before and then during and how your

22
00:02:02,060 --> 00:02:08,140
perspective either stays staunchly the same or it's forced to evolve over time. And that's

23
00:02:08,140 --> 00:02:14,140
human, by the way, very human. I can't stand people who want to sit on the sidelines and

24
00:02:14,140 --> 00:02:18,220
they have no experience and they want to tell people what to do. It's another thing if they're

25
00:02:18,220 --> 00:02:26,220
not willing to understand that you can give advice, you can give your experience. But

26
00:02:26,220 --> 00:02:29,740
the one thing that people will refuse to do is take accountability for their own actions.

27
00:02:29,740 --> 00:02:33,900
I can't stand people who don't want to take accountability for their own actions. I don't

28
00:02:33,900 --> 00:02:38,940
care if they're male, female, non binary, an animal, an alien, I don't care. I'm sick

29
00:02:38,940 --> 00:02:43,840
and tired of people not taking responsibility for their own actions. I hate it. It makes

30
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:51,500
me sick. That being said, I can't stay too long because I have a meeting I need to get

31
00:02:51,500 --> 00:02:56,700
to with a homeowner. But the one thing I really wanted to talk about in this brief piece that

32
00:02:56,700 --> 00:03:03,260
I think I'll be doing more of because not it's not just for you, it's for me as well.

33
00:03:03,260 --> 00:03:11,180
My friends, I want you to know that as a young guy, I'm 24 years young. It's hard out here.

34
00:03:11,180 --> 00:03:16,860
It really is. You feel as though you should be at a certain level, but you're not. You

35
00:03:16,860 --> 00:03:20,340
feel like you should be making a certain amount of year because you're pouring your life and

36
00:03:20,340 --> 00:03:23,940
your soul into everything that you do, but you're not seeing the results that you want.

37
00:03:23,940 --> 00:03:28,540
You know, one of the things I like about the internet is people talk about their experiences,

38
00:03:28,540 --> 00:03:35,260
but the one fact that I don't like, I don't know if maybe you agree, disagree. Why is

39
00:03:35,260 --> 00:03:40,380
it that so many people will talk about their journey? And then when they talk about their

40
00:03:40,380 --> 00:03:43,220
journey, they'll talk about how they were broke and whatnot, but then they won't go

41
00:03:43,220 --> 00:03:48,500
into detail about what it was like in the day to day, how hard it was, how hard the grind

42
00:03:48,500 --> 00:03:54,860
was and how they almost gave up. And then they show them winning. They like to play down

43
00:03:54,860 --> 00:04:05,340
the part where they were just putting in the horrible, boring, difficult grind to get to

44
00:04:05,340 --> 00:04:11,940
where they are now. Why is it so many people, they don't start it at square one, they want

45
00:04:11,940 --> 00:04:17,820
you to only see when they're winning at step four or step five. My friends, I'm not a rich

46
00:04:17,820 --> 00:04:22,860
man. I'll tell you that right now. If I was, I'd be having a whole camera crew filming

47
00:04:22,860 --> 00:04:28,900
me right now while it's raining outside. In Georgia, that's what I'd be doing in miles

48
00:04:28,900 --> 00:04:35,500
of rich man. And I'm not a rich man. My guy will phone. Okay, who left my setup that I

49
00:04:35,500 --> 00:04:39,180
used to have. You watch some of my older videos, I had a pretty nice setup and I still have

50
00:04:39,180 --> 00:04:45,580
it, most of it anyway. But I don't have the ability to stream the nice stuff I used to

51
00:04:45,580 --> 00:04:53,940
do because I decided to go on a limb and take a chance. I'm still on by the way. I decided

52
00:04:53,940 --> 00:05:01,260
to take this chance, go on the road, find a new adventure for myself. And you know what?

53
00:05:01,260 --> 00:05:07,260
So far it's not been a disappointment on the adventure front. But my friends, that's part

54
00:05:07,260 --> 00:05:13,580
of the biblical bachelor journey is to understand that adversity is not your adversary, it is

55
00:05:13,580 --> 00:05:23,900
your ally. That's what forges people is fire, not the nice comb breeze. No, it's the difficult

56
00:05:23,900 --> 00:05:32,220
thing. Teeth grinding, back aching, mind numbing stuff that you got to go through every single

57
00:05:32,220 --> 00:05:37,660
day. That's what makes you a tough man. That is what will make you a stronger person in

58
00:05:37,660 --> 00:05:43,460
the man that you want to be not sitting back at a comfy office and a cushy job. No, it's

59
00:05:43,460 --> 00:05:49,460
looking to make you where you want to go. That's going to make you just be docile, passive.

60
00:05:49,460 --> 00:05:54,940
I don't want that for you. I want you to win. But do you want to win? Are you too afraid

61
00:05:54,940 --> 00:06:01,380
to lose because so many people are just too afraid to lose. They don't want to risk winning

62
00:06:01,380 --> 00:06:07,380
because that would imply they had the risk losing. And my friends, I'll tell you, I

63
00:06:07,380 --> 00:06:12,700
put myself out of my comfort zone every day when I get into my car. Why? Because I mean,

64
00:06:12,700 --> 00:06:17,500
they're going to knock on people's doors who don't know me to tell to ask for a roof inspection,

65
00:06:17,500 --> 00:06:22,300
or I'm going to deal with the insurance people who treat me like a parasite, or I'm going

66
00:06:22,300 --> 00:06:28,940
to talk about, you know, paperwork and legal stuff when it comes to insurance work and

67
00:06:28,940 --> 00:06:34,420
projects and money and whatnot with people who don't really know me. But I have something

68
00:06:34,420 --> 00:06:38,980
that they need, which is a service that I'm doing out of the goodness of my heart up until

69
00:06:38,980 --> 00:06:47,480
the point where I get paid off a commission. And my friends, that's not easy. If it sucks

70
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:53,420
a lot of the time, it sucks a lot of time, I'll tell you the truth. But it's been self

71
00:06:53,420 --> 00:06:59,020
improvement at light speed as far as I'm concerned. And the reason I say that is not to show you

72
00:06:59,020 --> 00:07:05,660
how good Oh, Austin, you're so great, and you're so brave. No, that's not the point. The point

73
00:07:05,660 --> 00:07:11,060
is what's stopping you from going out on a limb. What's stopping you from doing something?

74
00:07:11,060 --> 00:07:15,420
Do you work at that same punk ass job you don't like? Or are you rotten to win an office

75
00:07:15,420 --> 00:07:19,660
that might as well be your coffin every day that paperwork becoming like a mummy wrap

76
00:07:19,660 --> 00:07:23,260
on your body and on your mind? Is that what you're doing every day? If that's what you

77
00:07:23,260 --> 00:07:27,740
love, God bless you, go ahead, do it. But if you hate that job and you don't like it and

78
00:07:27,740 --> 00:07:32,380
it abhors you out of your mind, then why are you doing it? Why are you not going out there

79
00:07:32,380 --> 00:07:37,060
and doing what you want to do? Are you risking it? Hell yeah, you're risking it. But if you

80
00:07:37,060 --> 00:07:41,780
want to get out of the rat race of doing what everybody else is doing, working a nine to

81
00:07:41,780 --> 00:07:46,180
five job that you don't like to buy things that you're going to throw away, then you've

82
00:07:46,180 --> 00:07:52,420
got to do something different than everybody else is not doing. Duh, think about it. Think

83
00:07:52,420 --> 00:07:56,420
about it. If you want to be extraordinary, you got to do something extra than what the

84
00:07:56,420 --> 00:08:01,860
ordinary people are doing. Duh, I mean, I'm not trying to talk to you like you're dumb,

85
00:08:01,860 --> 00:08:06,020
but this had to click for me. And the problem is a lot of people they want to do what everybody

86
00:08:06,020 --> 00:08:10,260
else is doing and not get what everybody else is getting, which is just a bare minimum.

87
00:08:10,260 --> 00:08:16,340
And the leftovers are their bosses. That's the problem is people they don't want the

88
00:08:16,340 --> 00:08:22,580
leftovers that their boss gives them, but they also want to be able to, they want to

89
00:08:22,580 --> 00:08:26,460
not have their leftovers of their boss, but they don't want to try to take their boss's

90
00:08:26,460 --> 00:08:30,300
job. They don't want to be out here trying to do something that boss ain't doing. They

91
00:08:30,300 --> 00:08:34,900
don't want to risk something that nobody else is risking, but they want all the payout,

92
00:08:34,900 --> 00:08:39,260
but they don't want to take the risk. And my friends, stop being that guy if that's

93
00:08:39,260 --> 00:08:43,580
you. I can't stand people like that. If you want to go and stay in your lane that's been

94
00:08:43,580 --> 00:08:48,940
carved out for you, go ahead and do that. I'm not stopping you. More money for me to

95
00:08:48,940 --> 00:08:54,060
be made on commission. Go ahead. You can do what you want to do. But don't sit out here

96
00:08:54,060 --> 00:08:58,180
and pretend like you're out here bossing out when you're not. You're out here being

97
00:08:58,180 --> 00:09:06,220
somebody else's paper boy. Don't pretend like you're being a boss because you're not.

98
00:09:06,220 --> 00:09:10,540
My friends, I'm not sitting here pretending like I'm some boss dude and I know everything

99
00:09:10,540 --> 00:09:15,940
and I'm this king. No, I'm a guy who's grinding to become what I want to become. And that's

100
00:09:15,940 --> 00:09:20,020
why you see me with a cheap setup right that I'm lurking with right now instead of this

101
00:09:20,020 --> 00:09:25,180
multi-million dollar crew and editor and everything else. Why? Because I don't have the money for

102
00:09:25,180 --> 00:09:33,540
that. I don't. And my friends, will there come a time where I do? Yeah, you better believe

103
00:09:33,540 --> 00:09:38,700
it. Yes, there will, but it's not going to happen tomorrow. It's going to happen after

104
00:09:38,700 --> 00:09:45,220
I keep grinding my ass off and I eventually get to the point that I want to be at. Not

105
00:09:45,220 --> 00:09:48,860
going to happen tomorrow, like I said, in the same way that you're not going to see a return

106
00:09:48,860 --> 00:09:56,060
tomorrow on the work you put in today. But I got to let you guys go because I'm pulling

107
00:09:56,060 --> 00:10:01,900
up to my client's house right now to pick out some colors for her roof, but then gotten

108
00:10:01,900 --> 00:10:09,340
proved by insurance. So you all have to let y'all go. But I say this to you because I

109
00:10:09,340 --> 00:10:16,500
want to motivate you. I want to push you to get to that next level that I am working towards.

110
00:10:16,500 --> 00:10:21,500
I want you to win. I want you to win with me. My friends, you take care of yourselves

111
00:10:21,500 --> 00:10:25,780
and I got to go because I got work to do. What's stopping you from putting in the work

112
00:10:25,780 --> 00:10:31,020
today? Go and put yourself out of your comfort zone. Don't sit there and be comfortable.

113
00:10:31,020 --> 00:10:34,820
Take care of yourselves, my friends. I got to head out of here. Peace.
