1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,800
What's up guys welcome back to the homework assignment.

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:07,360
I'm your host RJ Patino and again today we are going to find the balance between work

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:21,200
life and home life.

4
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:26,940
So the last couple days we've been going or had a mastermind in business conference called

5
00:00:26,940 --> 00:00:32,220
The Sexy Business Status Conference and this focus or the topic of this conference this

6
00:00:32,220 --> 00:00:34,280
week was sales summit.

7
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:39,240
So we had some amazing speakers we heard from Tommy Mello, Michael Bernoff, who else did

8
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:40,240
we hear from?

9
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:41,240
Andy Elliott.

10
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:46,800
Andy Elliott which was just freaking phenomenal and yeah we've had him already.

11
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:52,720
Natalie Dawson and a few or in Carlo Reyes again so I mean just jam packed with so much

12
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:57,320
information and there are some things I remember I was just listening and thinking about and

13
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:02,320
I was like you know what like it's so cool to actually go and listen to six different

14
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:07,440
people that are successful and be like dude I think the same way as you do and it made

15
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:12,280
me think about mentors right mentors I've had in the past mentors I have now and one

16
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:19,460
of the things that I think is very essential is who you pick as a mentor right if you listen

17
00:01:19,460 --> 00:01:25,360
to the wrong people what is going to happen you are going to be doing the wrong things

18
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:31,140
even if even if these people may have something to show for it if they're not doing it the

19
00:01:31,140 --> 00:01:36,040
right way they're only going to bear those rewards for a fraction of the time okay things

20
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:40,240
don't last forever especially if you're doing it the wrong way so it's really important

21
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:46,120
to find a mentor that has the same morals as you the same mindset as you and you know

22
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:50,800
that believes in the same things that you do okay and especially when you're trying

23
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,440
to use them for business because business is tricky okay you start doing the wrong things

24
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,560
you're gonna get in trouble you're gonna lose a heck of a lot of money and you're gonna

25
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,720
not be doing very well within five or ten years if you don't follow the right people

26
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,920
on top of that the people I listen to and the advice that you get from these people

27
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:11,560
obviously as you apply in your life you're gonna be able to see what works and what doesn't

28
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,880
work okay so as you begin to choose a mentor and you start listening to them if you're

29
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,640
doing things they're saying and it doesn't seem to be working or it's not working the

30
00:02:19,640 --> 00:02:23,600
right way okay like they're saying they are at some point you should maybe think okay

31
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,840
does this guy know what he's doing is he doing it the right way or maybe should I go get

32
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:32,760
a second opinion maybe should I go ask somebody else or listen to somebody else and kind of

33
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:39,000
just see if they align okay I've talked about this before the principles of success the

34
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:44,660
principles of building a business a healthy lifestyle building a family these principles

35
00:02:44,660 --> 00:02:51,200
are all the same I'm reading a book right now called think and grow rich case by Napoleon

36
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:59,240
Hill thank you Michael Napoleon Hill so this book was written in the 1930s if I'm if I'm

37
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:05,920
not mistaken and it's still one of the best-selling books in business and in personal development

38
00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:13,240
okay so 1930s compared to now can anybody think of the difference okay technology I

39
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:18,960
mean for starters right there wasn't probably anything at all back then very minimal I don't

40
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:24,680
even think did they have the ether back then they didn't have ether back then right wireless

41
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:30,400
connections all that everything I mean yeah they I mean literally lifestyles the way people

42
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:36,320
think the way people look at other people the way people just live in general is a hundred

43
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:43,240
and fifty thousand percent different than 1930s so how are these principles in think and  grow rich

44
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:51,800
still guiding people and teaching people how to be successful in 2023 it's easy I've said

45
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:56,440
it a million times before and I'll continue to say the principles never change okay the

46
00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:02,480
truths are eternal they're unending they're never going to be any different the principles

47
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:09,960
stay the same how we implement okay and how we so yeah so how we implement and put those

48
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:15,720
things to work the method of implementation those are the things that are going to adapt

49
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:20,420
and change okay but the principle is going to stay the same you may sell differently

50
00:04:20,420 --> 00:04:26,260
now okay maybe you're not going door-to-door and or you know getting the yellow I'm too

51
00:04:26,260 --> 00:04:30,160
young for this but you know calling on the yellow page or what was that thing they're

52
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:36,120
talking about the conference a all the different contacts on a little spin wheel I can't remember

53
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:42,840
what it's called yours man was called yeah I don't even know but you know all these

54
00:04:42,840 --> 00:04:46,600
different methods can you send to take contacts down on a piece of paper pagers whatever the

55
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,880
cases you know I remember my dad talking about the first phone you know this big brick phone

56
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:55,360
well the first one I got was in sixth grade it was a razor next year the iPhone came out

57
00:04:55,360 --> 00:05:00,640
and since then I haven't had a phone that isn't touchscreen okay so the principles they

58
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:05,240
same but the methods and the ways we do the way we do things changes right so we're not

59
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:09,040
knocking doors very much anymore I know pest control companies do a lot of that as well

60
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:13,760
but like for me like I'm not cold calling people for remodels what am I doing I'm using

61
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:20,240
technology social media marketing now selling people and getting them to be sold the principles

62
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:27,680
are the same the way I'm going about it is different from 1930 okay but I'm still using

63
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:35,080
a lot of similar techniques but adapting them in different forms to better produce and be

64
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:41,160
more efficient with all the blessings of technology communication all these things that we have

65
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,580
you know automobiles that you know planes we can fly you know I can fly to another part

66
00:05:45,580 --> 00:05:50,000
of my state right now within an hour so now I can do a job out there okay rather than

67
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,840
having to take a five hour trip and go check up on it okay there's so many different things

68
00:05:53,840 --> 00:05:59,040
that we can do so it's really important to understand that when you're choosing a mentor

69
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:05,220
kind of to bring this back around is you need to number one make sure you find someone who

70
00:06:05,220 --> 00:06:08,480
knows what they're talking about and if you don't know what they're talking about I can

71
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:12,160
tell you you're gonna find out very quickly once you start implementing what they're saying

72
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,000
whether they know they're talking about or not okay because the things they should be

73
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:21,800
teaching you should be what bringing results now to be clear on that there's another side

74
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:27,840
of this okay when you get a mentor if you're implementing or you feel like you're implementing

75
00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:32,040
you should and you're not getting results you should also take a look at what exactly

76
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:37,220
you're doing specifically okay I know a lot of people within a program you know a coaching

77
00:06:37,220 --> 00:06:41,680
program that I'm a part of and you know in school I've seen this a lot people say oh

78
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:47,120
well you know they keep telling me to do this and do this and do this but it's not working

79
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:54,080
okay well what exactly are you doing how are you doing that well I'm doing this for example

80
00:06:54,080 --> 00:07:00,500
in football okay one of the things that I was taught is when the ball is I played linebacker

81
00:07:00,500 --> 00:07:05,640
okay so when the ball is snapped your first step is always forward never backwards okay

82
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,000
you're always looking for the run first because that's right in front of you that's the closest

83
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,400
zone okay once you realize it's passed then you drop back you go to your zone or whatever

84
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:17,760
the case is so but the first step is always forward now that was really hard for me to

85
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,640
get down no matter how many times my coach said it I felt it wasn't working right so

86
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:27,480
what actually made it work I can promise you it wasn't like some of these kids I knew going

87
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,800
home and watching it and watching YouTube's and doing even more film study was actually

88
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:36,960
being on the field and getting it done okay so that's a prime example of you also need

89
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,920
to take a look at how you're implementing what someone's telling you and if you're implementing

90
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:46,480
it the right way okay are you actually taking action or are you taking in knowledge okay

91
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:51,000
to get wisdom what do we need we need one the knowledge and two we need action okay

92
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,920
that knowledge needs to be put into action and then you get the experience you get the

93
00:07:53,920 --> 00:08:00,120
wisdom okay it's same principle over hundreds of centuries or you know centuries of time

94
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:05,000
that haven't changed okay things have the world changed around us so we adapt a little

95
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:10,440
so when you're picking a mentor again to kind of recap first make sure they know what they're

96
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,760
talking about okay if they're if you don't know what they're what you're talking about

97
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:18,520
or you don't know if they're right put into action if it works then they're probably doing

98
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,040
something right if not then you're gonna find out really quick hey maybe this is not the

99
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:29,320
right way and at the same time find a mentor that's in a business or a lifestyle of what

100
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:33,180
you you're you're working towards okay so like I'm in construction I'm not gonna go

101
00:08:33,180 --> 00:08:40,160
find a mentor that is in insurance okay though they don't they don't align right so who do

102
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,920
I go for mentor well right now I got a couple mentors one of them owns a roofing company

103
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:48,840
okay it's not my I do a lot more than just roofing but I do do roofing but the principles

104
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:53,680
and the concepts definitely co-align okay there's a lot of things I can get from him

105
00:08:53,680 --> 00:08:58,600
but if I go listen to a real estate agent or if I go listen to an insurance agent there's

106
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:03,840
gonna be a lot less that I'm gonna be able to pull from this from these people than that

107
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:08,160
my coach was actually in a construction you know in the construction industry so make

108
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:13,240
sure you find somebody who actually is in your industry okay that's not to say don't

109
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,840
go listen to all these people like in podcasts like right I listen to a lot of people in

110
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:21,600
podcasts that own you know nutrition companies and clothing brands okay there's still a lot

111
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:26,360
you can learn but someone that you're gonna work with personal personally and and be get

112
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:33,600
mentored by they need to be in your industry okay that's number one so apart from that

113
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:39,120
a second part of the message I want to share today is you know we're starting to put out

114
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:43,200
videos you know every week and we're putting out this content and you know I was walking

119
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:04,560

123
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:23,800

124
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,560
here I'm like okay I'm putting out great content there's a lot of people putting out great

125
00:10:27,560 --> 00:10:33,840
content okay so why would anybody listen to me why would anybody listen to this 28 year

126
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:40,840
old kid on a couch in a collar shirt with a cheerleading puffy microphone at my at my

127
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:46,360
collar right now why would anybody listen to me and even allow my video to go past the

128
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:52,920
60 second point I'm gonna tell you why right now number one I want to make it clear I I

129
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,880
try I mean I don't know how good I am at it I mean you can ask my family and friends but

130
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:02,440
I don't feel like I don't like to be boastful I don't like to to show off I do like you

131
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:08,440
know a big truck and stuff like that and those things may may make people feel like I'm showing

132
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,680
off when I got you know nice things and stuff but I like those things okay I'm not buying

133
00:11:11,680 --> 00:11:15,520
it to be able to go show Roger down the street they're like hey look at what I got like hey

134
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:21,640
do you have one of these but I do think it's important to explain why you guys should give

135
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:26,240
me the time of day and give my team the time of day and this podcast or even my company

136
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:32,440
the time of day and that is because we've been successful in a lot of different aspects

137
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,160
okay we weren't always successful right we've been through hardships we've been through

138
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:40,040
tough times I have freaking literally like if you guys go back a few episodes I've lost

139
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:46,680
everything I've been at literally nothing okay my manhood my my ego my confidence everything's

140
00:11:46,680 --> 00:11:52,200
been torn down to literally be non-existent and I've been able to bring it back up to

141
00:11:52,200 --> 00:12:00,560
a level even higher than it was previously when I first began so you know in two years

142
00:12:00,560 --> 00:12:07,640
let's see so 2020 July 2020 I started to do try and rebuild my company after I pretty

143
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:13,080
much lost everything okay from July of 2020 to July of this year what is that two years

144
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:19,480
or is that three years that's like two and a half years yeah okay we have done over eight

145
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:25,880
figures in business okay so within two and a half years we have done over ten million

146
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:32,880
dollars in business okay ten million dollars we do know what we're talking about just a

147
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:41,000
little bit okay so if you guys want to get to a point where you're revenueing revering

148
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,560
whatever that word may be okay I'm not the best with grammar if you want to bring your

149
00:12:45,560 --> 00:12:50,080
revenue past eight figures this is definitely a podcast you want to listen to if you want

150
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:54,160
to know what you should be doing at home how you should be living your life what you should

151
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:59,040
be absorbing who you should be listening to how you should be acting how to run the business

152
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:03,520
scale the business marketing whatever the case is I mean all these things how to be

153
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:09,180
a better you how to be a seven figure person what you have to do before you meet you have

154
00:13:09,180 --> 00:13:14,680
a seven figure business okay and there's people out there that don't focus on that

155
00:13:14,680 --> 00:13:19,120
first and they get that seven figure business but what happens to them just like I was talking

156
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:24,160
ten minutes ago about this mentor if you do not work on yourself first and you are lucky

157
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:30,080
enough to gain that okay you're going to lose it very quickly because business is so much

158
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:38,280
more than pulling in money and and selling product okay it is that is a fraction I personally

159
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:46,080
don't even think that's really the top five top three focuses in building a business sales

160
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:50,400
should be maybe number four there are three things at least that you should be focused

161
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:55,920
on to be able to do that so if you want to know why you guys should be listening to me

162
00:13:55,920 --> 00:14:01,520
or to Mikey Kyle or anybody else we bring on this podcast that is because we have seen

163
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:08,280
multi millions of dollars flush through our account okay we have signed contracts you know

164
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:13,840
just what last year I sat down in front of an investor and a construction manager and

165
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:18,640
I convinced them at 27 years old to do over three million dollars of business with me

166
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:23,960
okay that's again not being prideful but I'm trying to show you like I was doing something

167
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:29,600
right in order to do that right so these are just a few reasons that I wanted to share

168
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:33,000
with you guys and hey why should I be listening in  RJ why should we be listening to the

169
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:38,400
homework you know assignment why why should I even take into consideration Elder contracting

170
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:42,200
is because we've been through the ringer we've been through hell we've been knocked down

171
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:47,160
we've gone back up okay we've made the mistakes ourselves not just heard of the mistakes and

172
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:52,480
learn not what to do we've actually done what you shouldn't do which has led to the experience

173
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,280
which in my opinion is the best way to do it I don't recommend everybody do that you

174
00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:00,320
save yourself a lot of pain but if I had to do it over again I would make all the mistakes

175
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:04,880
myself even if I heard him I would still do what I thought I shouldn't do and make the

176
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:11,680
mistakes because it has given me so much more wisdom experience and taught me even more

177
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,320
than just a lesson I'm not doing that okay I learned more about myself I learned more

178
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:20,600
about tenacity dedication consistency you know having a strong attitude mindset all

179
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:25,760
that kind of stuff that we're always going to talk about that came from all that so again

180
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:31,520
I know that for the people who are listening this podcast okay whether you're focused more

181
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:36,640
on the home life of things or you're focused more on the business life okay if you're listening

182
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:41,360
for just one of those things great but again our assignment is to figure out the balance

183
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:47,920
and how to mesh those together because I'll recount my life for you okay in 2018 I met

184
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:54,680
my wife okay at the end of 2018 six months later March of 2019 me and my wife got married

185
00:15:54,680 --> 00:16:06,160
and so in the last let's see 2019 2020 2021 2022 so four years within four years I've

186
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:15,000
had two children one miscarriage my wife is pregnant now I don't know she's mad that I said

187
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:20,960
that but I think it's important I mean to know I mean like hey if you know we're having

188
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,480
another baby we're having another baby great so right so two kids we had a miscarriage

189
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:29,600
like six seven months ago that was very tough and really sad you know she's pregnant again

190
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:33,840
we have a new puppy and we are in the adoption process of adopting my two younger siblings

191
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:38,920
who are teenagers 13 14 all of that on top of what on top of building an eight-figure

192
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:44,880
multi-million dollar business okay within four years from nothing I got off the plane

193
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:50,360
from South America okay my parents picked me up that wasn't a fun time it was actually

194
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:55,440
a little sad mom was on drugs okay stepfather wanted to you know leave my mom at the time

195
00:16:55,440 --> 00:17:01,000
kids were you know traumatized from not having any any guidance in her life it was really

196
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,880
sad coming home after not seeing everybody for two years especially when they made you

197
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:08,400
all maybe think it was you know everything was fine and dandy for the most part okay

198
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:15,040
to come home okay I haven't seen my family in two years got off the plane went to Denny's

199
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:19,080
okay and I chose a place where I wanted to go get some American food I've been in South

200
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,840
America Chile for the last couple years so I was like yeah give me some pancakes egg

201
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:26,400
sausage let's get it done which is really funny side note in South America I remember

202
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:32,040
when I got there for a few weeks in training at that what they call the MTC you couldn't

203
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,760
like go about and explore the world okay you know we're all 18 year old most of them were

204
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,880
18 year old I was a little bit older but I remember when I finally got kind of put out

205
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,920
on my own with my companion I finally found a McDonald's I'm like okay they got McDonald's

206
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:48,480
out here so I wanted breakfast is like my favorite thing and I love to McDonald's you

207
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:54,080
know McDonald's McMuffin a juicy McGriddle okay I go to freaking McDonald's I look at

208
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:59,960
the breakfast menu they got bread ham and freaking avocado there was there was no McGriddles

209
00:17:59,960 --> 00:18:04,400
there was nothing so you can imagine why I wanted to go back to Denny's right when I

210
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:08,920
got off the plane but anyway so got off the plane went to Denny's you know ate there bunch

211
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:14,240
of arguing arguing really annoying whatever went home okay what am I expecting I'm expecting

212
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:19,560
hang out my family what didn't happen they all went to the rooms and my mom went to sleep

213
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:25,440
this like this and I'm sitting in my living room by myself with my suitcases and my mom

214
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:31,160
threw away everything I had no clothes she threw away you know memorabilia all my trophies

215
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:38,200
letterman jacket everything literally gone and all I had was what I brought with me and

216
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:44,440
brought home with me from Chile from South America okay didn't have any regular you know

217
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:48,520
jeans I didn't I mean I had a pair of shorts and some running shoes for like exercise things

218
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:55,480
but I didn't have literally anything I had no clothes had no money no you know bank account

219
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,520
luckily well hey for the first couple days I didn't even have a cell phone okay so literally

220
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:05,760
came home from nothing and having nothing is what honestly was a huge was a huge motivation

221
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,920
was a huge drive okay what am I gonna do I need to do something because I literally don't

222
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:15,440
even have clothes okay I literally don't like even my my shoes that I was wearing you know

223
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,360
I were I had one like two pair or three pairs of shoes I wore through them and my last pair

224
00:19:19,360 --> 00:19:22,800
of shoes that I had for like a few months before I came home there those were about

225
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:29,200
to wear through okay I had rips in my pants like literally had nothing and nobody cared

226
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:33,040
my parents didn't care nobody cared I don't know if they had money or my mom or whatever

227
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:38,200
I think they may have but like it doesn't matter I'm glad because I built everything

228
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:42,640
from literally absolutely nothing and I know a lot of you out there are trying to build

229
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:48,120
something from nothing and I'm here to tell you you can do it it's going to work okay

230
00:19:48,120 --> 00:19:53,480
but again find a good mentor listen to the right material take in consume everything

231
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:59,060
that you want to be find people that are 80 levels ahead of you do not hang out people

232
00:19:59,060 --> 00:20:03,640
who are 80 levels below you because all that's going to do is bring you closer to their level

233
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:07,040
because they're not doing anything to benefit you okay they're not you're not doing anything

234
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:11,760
to benefit them okay so find the right people put yourself in the right environment in the

235
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:17,160
right situations right so and again if you wonder why you need to listen to us we know

236
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:23,320
what we're talking about okay if you guys want to to see seven eight figures when you

237
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:27,440
open up bank accounts you know your account whatever the cases if you guys want to see

238
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:32,400
a bunch of money trust me all these things that we talk about all the things that you

239
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:37,400
hear on a lot of other self-development self-development podcasts these are the things that you need

240
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:44,560
to be doing okay no matter what you may think no matter what anybody tells you and if you

241
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:50,580
consume it and if you put into action it's all going to come to light all right so I

242
00:20:50,580 --> 00:20:56,160
I know for a fact like there's I've had a lot of mentors like my uncle has been one

243
00:20:56,160 --> 00:21:02,800
Jensen over here who really kind of helped me get get even started okay and then you

244
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,120
know the business programs are in you know and that I guess that's another thing like

245
00:21:06,120 --> 00:21:09,400
speaking of mentors and like business coaching right like if you're not willing to invest

246
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:16,040
in yourself then what are you what are you trying to do exactly okay so if you need to

247
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:20,280
be willing to invest in yourself okay you know I pay thousands tens of thousands of

248
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:25,080
dollars to be part of coaching you know books programs universities like Grant Cardone's

249
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:33,080
university on selling okay I buy a ton of content okay all of that brings it back and

250
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:37,600
let me tell you a cool story about that okay so we joined elder contracting we went to

251
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,880
a business conference beginning this year and it's actually the coaching program the

252
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:49,040
conference we just went and sponsored yesterday and one of the coolest things happen I did

253
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:53,520
I paid I think this was ten twelve thousand dollars we paid to get into this okay and

254
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:58,120
no matter how much money you may have and I the more you have it's a little bit easier

255
00:21:58,120 --> 00:22:05,440
of course but even with six figures and bank accounts I had a hard time justifying why

256
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:11,240
I was going to give somebody twelve thousand dollars to for a meeting every week and a

257
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:16,520
quarterly conference to show me how to you know rack up my revenue it was really hard

258
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:21,640
for me okay but I had faith and I knew you had invest in yourself and I'm like okay I'm

259
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:26,160
gonna make it back one way or another whether it's through you know referrals or whether

260
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:30,160
it's through content or whatever I had a feeling I was gonna make it back so I paid that paid

261
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:36,960
it in full okay that program I've been in for what three months and I have pulled in

262
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:43,160
almost a million dollars it's soon to be over a million dollars worth of revenue off of

263
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:47,680
twelve thousand dollars can you guys tell me if you think it's worth it would it be

264
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:54,000
worth it at that point okay whether you have to you know pull out a loan or you know break

265
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:58,880
it down in monthly payments whatever the case is get be a part of something don't be scared

266
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:05,000
to pay and invest in yourself you need to do it you have to do it there is no way for

267
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:11,120
you to grow if you are not willing to invest in yourself money do not be scared to pay

268
00:23:11,120 --> 00:23:16,000
money it will come back around okay and it makes the economy come back around why do

269
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:22,120
you guys think everybody got those Covid checks that I know everybody loved whether you hated

270
00:23:22,120 --> 00:23:25,520
it or not or agree with it or not it was nice to get thousands of dollars right well why

271
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:29,860
does the government do that they do that because they know people will spend it okay so help

272
00:23:29,860 --> 00:23:33,920
your economy okay that's that's two birds with one stone you invest in yourself and

273
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:38,960
you invest in a great economy and what do you need to make money a good economy my opinion
