00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:16,280
Hey guys, welcome back to the Homework Assigned Podcast.

2
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:20,320
I'm your host, RJ Patino, and today we have a great show for you.

3
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:25,560
So one of the things that I've been kind of experiencing, I just kind of wanted to share

4
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:33,240
a little bit and that is kind of, it is personal, which is fine obviously, but there's a lot

5
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:39,420
of moments in entrepreneurship or in just kind of pushing yourself to a limit, getting

6
00:00:39,420 --> 00:00:41,840
to greatness where you have those self doubts.

7
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:47,320
I know we've talked about this a little bit, you know, those feelings of anxiety, of inadequacy,

8
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,160
and we may have touched base a little bit on it almost in each podcast.

9
00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:54,880
And I think that's important to recognize because this is a, it is a problem.

10
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:59,340
It's a good problem to have and it's, but it still is a problem, right?

11
00:00:59,340 --> 00:01:03,600
And I think it's always important to kind of recognize that and be able to do, come

12
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,280
up with, you know, talk about new solutions, kind of things that are going on.

13
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:12,440
And again, me just wanting to share my experience of that feeling of self doubt.

14
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,240
Like, what do we do when we have those feelings?

15
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:16,240
How do we operate?

16
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,140
How do we act?

17
00:01:18,140 --> 00:01:21,320
And what is the best way to overcome it?

18
00:01:21,320 --> 00:01:25,160
And we talked to, we actually had a lesson in our, in our company just a few days ago,

19
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:30,960
kind of about this, about persistency, being persistent, being consistent in everything

20
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:35,260
that we do and being able to break that breaking or have that breaking point and break through

21
00:01:35,260 --> 00:01:36,260
that threshold.

22
00:01:36,260 --> 00:01:39,120
So self doubt comes in many forms.

23
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:44,440
I think for me personally, it comes in forms of, you know, imposter syndrome, really wondering

24
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,200
and asking myself, do I even know what I'm doing?

25
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:48,200
Am I just faking it?

26
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,160
Am I making it, am I showing this big picture of, hey, you know, look at me, I'm this guy

27
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:57,160
who has a podcast and I'm trying to help people and give advice on experience.

28
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:01,560
But in the background, I'm stressed out all the time and I have all this anxiety and wondering,

29
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:02,960
hey, am I really going to make it?

30
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:07,080
Are we really going to get to that next level?

31
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,800
And even with, you know, looking back and being like, hey, look how far we've come.

32
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:11,800
Like we've done great things.

33
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,740
Of course I can do it again.

34
00:02:14,740 --> 00:02:16,080
Sometimes that doesn't even help.

35
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,880
Sometimes it gets really hard.

36
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:23,680
And I think it especially gets hard when things that are unplanned for come to pass.

37
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:28,160
Or you make a mistake that's big and you're, you know, it may be the biggest mistake you've

38
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:29,160
ever made.

39
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,840
And you're like, holy cow, like, do I know what I'm doing?

40
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,400
Am I actually like doing this right?

41
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:41,920
And then, you know, as an entrepreneur or a father or a mother, you know, when you make

42
00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:48,160
big mistakes, you begin to wonder if you're, you know, if you made the right decision to

43
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,600
be able to take on such a big responsibility.

44
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,600
I know I felt that with my daughters when, you know, when I had children and I feel that

45
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,560
with every child.

46
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,520
Feel that now with my, you know, my wife's pregnant.

47
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:04,160
So I have those feelings from day to day like, okay, another mouth to feed another person,

48
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,320
you know, I have to haul on trips, going to need a bigger car, going to need this.

49
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:11,240
I'm going to have to give more time and attention to her, split it up between three daughters

50
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:12,240
now instead of two.

51
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:13,240
It's like, can I do that?

52
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,400
Do I, am I, you know, built for that?

53
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,120
Can I make the time for that?

54
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,400
And as an entrepreneur, it's like, hey, you got all these people that depend on you to

55
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:24,560
cut their checks every week.

56
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,640
They depend on you to run your company right.

57
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:30,880
Because if you don't run your company right, it's going to affect them negatively, not

58
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,280
only you.

59
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,680
And so all of that can be a ton.

60
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:39,320
And, you know, we've talked in the past about taking that time for yourself, you know, really

61
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:43,920
focusing on your self development and being able to realize you are the one you can do

62
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:44,920
it.

63
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,480
All that kind of stuff, you know, positive affirmations.

64
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:52,280
And so I want to kind of share like some other tips that have worked for me because I've

65
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:58,120
had a especially last couple of weeks, like it's been so many new systems and stuff growing

66
00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,680
and there's been mistakes in my end.

67
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:05,480
There's been some negative, you know, issues that have been going on with some of our jobs

68
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:10,920
with like our commercial clients due to new stuff coming up and also mistakes on other

69
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:17,080
people's part of stuff that's not in our control, but still, you know, affects us negatively.

70
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:18,600
And sometimes people don't see that.

71
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:19,600
Sometimes they don't see the back end.

72
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,240
They just expect you to do your job and they don't realize that what they're doing is actually

73
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:27,000
causing, you know, delays or problems in your company.

74
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,680
But they just, you know, people are so quick to, you know, point the finger.

75
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:36,480
So one of the things that, you know, we've learned and that I've been able to put into

76
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,240
play is really being persistent.

77
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:46,440
It's being able to push through by doing the little things.

78
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:53,360
So there is a podcast I just listened to, which may have triggered this whole thing

79
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,920
as well because I was like really feeling some self doubt stuff and I was able to listen

80
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:01,000
to this podcast by Andy Frisella and he talked about some of the self doubt stuff and he

81
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:05,720
says, you know, Hey, your, your emotions are irrelevant.

82
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,440
They do not matter.

83
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,600
If you wake up every day and you win the day, it doesn't matter if during that day that

84
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:18,360
you were winning, you felt inadequate, you felt dumb, you felt like an imposter because

85
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,000
when you go to sleep that night, you did all the things that you needed to do to win your

86
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,000
day.

87
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,000
Therefore you won.

88
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,000
You do that every single day.

89
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,080
It doesn't matter how you feel.

90
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:27,080
You're going to succeed.

91
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:31,520
And I think that's really important because there's all these small things that we do

92
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:36,560
on a daily basis that we don't really think is very important that isn't going to move

93
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,640
the mountain so to speak.

94
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:43,160
But when you add up those little small things at the end of that week, they move the mountain

95
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,120
a foot or two.

96
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:52,280
And sometimes it's so simple and so small and miniscule on the huge chart of things

97
00:05:52,280 --> 00:05:56,960
to do responsibilities that we, we overlook it.

98
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,680
We realize, you know, what does that matter?

99
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:00,680
Right?

100
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,600
Like, what does it matter if I wake up and go to the gym every morning?

101
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,760
That's not going to help my cash flow problem.

102
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,600
But in reality, waking up and going to the gym every morning gives my mind a head start.

103
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:11,600
Right?

104
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,240
Helps me think, helps me feel better, helps me operate better.

105
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:18,120
And by the end of the week, I found the solution to the cash flow problem.

106
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,520
Didn't solve it, but it prepared me to be able to solve it.

107
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:22,520
Right?

108
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,240
And so, you know, every, every business is different.

109
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:29,400
Every household is different, but by simple and small things are great things brought

110
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,400
to pass.

111
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,640
I'm quoting that from a scripture that's an actual scripture.

112
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,640
And I 100% believe it.

113
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:41,120
We were able to talk about that a little bit this week that, hey, by small and simple things

114
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:42,720
are great things brought to pass.

115
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,640
And it's 100% true.

116
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:49,520
You know, you hear like in relationships, hey, it's the small things that matter or

117
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,880
just in life in general, it's the small things that matter.

118
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,800
If you're able to do this thing repetitively, be consistent and persistent and doing this

119
00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:00,040
every single day, nonstop and knowing that little thing progresses you inch by inch.

120
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,200
It may not be a foot, but it's inch by inch.

121
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,120
Well, 12 days, those inches add up and guess what?

122
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,160
You finally progress a foot.

123
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:14,960
And so I have come to realize that when things get rough, when I feel that self doubt, when

124
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:21,400
life is getting hard, when business is getting hard, being able to push harder and by pushing

125
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:26,200
harder, I mean figuring out what those small things are that help me win my day and just

126
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:30,400
focusing in and tuning in on those things and getting them done no matter how I feel,

127
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:36,680
whether I feel inadequate, whether I feel like I'm failing or whether I feel that they're

128
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,680
not going to work just sucking up and just doing them, like even having a checklist and

129
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:45,680
checking them off after a little bit of time, it works.

130
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:46,680
Okay.

131
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:52,560
It may not get me to Z, but it got me to G and that's all that I needed because now that

132
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,680
I'm on G, I'm able to look back and be like, okay, it sucked.

133
00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:00,200
The entire process sucked, but I went step by step and I was able to progress myself

134
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,240
step by step and now I'm 50% of the way there.

135
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,800
Now I'm that much closer to succeeding.

136
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:11,400
And so it actually reminds me and I showed this story in our meeting just the other day,

137
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:15,160
it really shines light on a story out of the Bible.

138
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:20,600
It's the story of Moses where Moses led his people out of Egypt and it came upon a bunch

139
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,680
of poisonous serpents and everybody got bit and everybody was dying.

140
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,360
Well, Moses was trying to figure out the best way out of that.

141
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:32,120
He was inspired by God to lift up, God told him, hey, raise up your pole and everybody

142
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,480
who looks at it will be saved and those who don't perish.

143
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,400
And so Moses was like, hey, everybody look at my staff and everybody's like, why would

144
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:39,460
I look at your staff?

145
00:08:39,460 --> 00:08:40,720
How is that going to save me?

146
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:41,720
I am literally dying.

147
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:42,720
I've been bitten.

148
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:43,720
I am dying.

149
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,440
I am dying. I was looking at a piece of wood going to save my life.

150
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:48,440
Well, guess what?

151
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:54,160
The ones that did were saved according to God's word and the ones that didn't perished.

152
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,920
And that lesson goes into what we're talking about.

153
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,980
By simple things are great things brought to pass.

154
00:08:59,980 --> 00:09:05,840
It was that simple to believe enough to look at that piece of wood and you would be saved.

155
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:10,360
And so, you know, going into again, those small things, having not just doing it, but

156
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:16,000
really trying to push yourself to believe that those small things, those small tasks,

157
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,960
those small ideas are going to bring about great things.

158
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:23,160
You just have to do them, have faith in them, because if you know that they've worked in

159
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,040
the past, they'll work again.

160
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,720
If you know they're positive and they're not going to impact you negatively, there's nothing

161
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,280
wrong with doing it.

162
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:31,280
Right?

163
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,360
Like, how is, you know, like I said, going to the gym going to help in cash flow.

164
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,640
I was going to the gym going to help me land a job.

165
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:43,840
They don't really correlate very well, but they this affects this, which then affects

166
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:44,840
that.

167
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:45,840
Right.

168
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,600
And it may be five different things I need to get affected before it affects the thing

169
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:49,880
that you're shooting for.

170
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:50,880
But it doesn't matter.

171
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:55,520
It's something that can affect it, even if it's not affecting it directly.

172
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:56,520
Really important to understand.

173
00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:03,040
So it's tied all up self doubt, I think 100 percent.

174
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:04,360
It's natural.

175
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,360
I think it's debilitating at times.

176
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,080
I think it's overwhelming.

177
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,080
And I think everybody deals with it.

178
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:16,560
And even if you're not an entrepreneur or you're in your home life, it is a natural thing to

179
00:10:16,560 --> 00:10:17,560
that comes to pass.

180
00:10:17,560 --> 00:10:20,040
I mean, I can't imagine or I can.

181
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:25,000
But thinking back when I graduated high school, your senior year, everybody towards the end

182
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,000
of the year, hey, what are you going to do with your life?

183
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,120
What are you going to do with life?

184
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:32,720
Those are pivotal moments for teenagers where it's just like some people are unsure.

185
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:33,840
Some people have a plan.

186
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,760
But whether you're unsure, have a plan, that anxiety is there both ways.

187
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,920
The anxiety of not having a plan and the anxiety of having to complete a plan and accomplish

188
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:42,920
a plan.

189
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,200
And it's just like those are those self doubt moments.

190
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:46,640
But that's how people are made.

191
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:47,900
That's how things come to pass.

192
00:10:47,900 --> 00:10:52,360
People learn how to push through it and not let that self doubt consume them.

193
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,760
Because if you let the self doubt consume, you're never going to know.

194
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:56,760
Right.

195
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,040
Hey, what if I fell?

196
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,000
OK, well, what if you don't?

197
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:03,000
Right.

198
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,000
Are you willing to take this?

199
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,720
I think that right there is one thing that literally destroys dreams.

200
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,000
I think that's another thing I knew for a while.

201
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:15,640
I was like, that phrase, what if destroys people's dreams?

202
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:21,320
How many people do you know that have reached a high age in life and they're not doing what

203
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,600
they had always wanted to do?

204
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,520
How would you feel if you didn't do what you've always wanted to do?

205
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:28,800
Right.

206
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,800
And maybe you guys don't know what you want to do.

207
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,720
But when you figure it out, what if you don't accomplish it?

208
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,160
What if you never get there?

209
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:38,160
That sucks.

210
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:39,160
But what if you take the risk?

211
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:40,160
You take the leap?

212
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,800
What if you deal with the anxiety, the self doubt?

213
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,960
What if you accomplish those little things every day that you need to accomplish that

214
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,440
will help you win the day and then you do succeed?

215
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,040
How great would it be?

216
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,320
I mean, it's phenomenal.

217
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:57,560
And unfortunately, a lot of self doubt comes from people that you love and people that

218
00:11:57,560 --> 00:12:02,640
you know, people that want to be realist, realistic.

219
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,400
Hey, you know, that's a tough thing you're doing.

220
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,440
Like, hey, I want you to succeed.

221
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,360
But have you really thought this through?

222
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,680
And they instill that self doubt in you.

223
00:12:12,680 --> 00:12:15,720
So a lot of times it may not be yourself in that self doubt.

224
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,640
It may be self doubt from the people that you've trusted the most in your life that

225
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,620
are looking out for you for the better good, right?

226
00:12:22,620 --> 00:12:24,840
Because they love you.

227
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:29,600
But they still that doubt or they don't want to see you succeed because then they realize,

228
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,040
oh, my gosh, I could have done what I wanted to do.

229
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,000
I just didn't try.

230
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:40,280
And so it's really trying to find that that grit that you need.

231
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:41,280
That's what it is.

232
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:46,560
It's grit, grit to push through grit, to continue trying grit, to not give up grit, to accept

233
00:12:46,560 --> 00:12:52,000
the losses and learn from them and not accept the loss and quit.

234
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,000
OK.

235
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,240
So the self doubt is it's overwhelming.

236
00:12:55,240 --> 00:13:00,040
I'm pretty sure I'm going to talk about it 80 more times in the life of this podcast.

237
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:05,960
But guys, if you're feeling self doubt, if you feel like you are inadequate, that you

238
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,120
cannot do it, I promise you you can.

239
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:13,480
All you got to do is focus on the small and little things and do one at a time, one at

240
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:18,280
a time, and they will add up to be the grand scheme of everything that you're looking

241
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:19,280
to accomplish.

242
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:20,280
They're going to add up.

243
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:21,280
They're going to propel you.

244
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:22,280
They're going to help you get there.

245
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:30,000
So the lesson for today is self doubt and really trying to fight that voice in your

246
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:38,040
head, trying to fight the lack of willpower to keep going or to just give up and say,

247
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,240
hey, there's not a solution here and I just need to restart.

248
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:46,960
That's something that I faced once is like, hey, you know, I'm not necessarily giving

249
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:47,960
up.

250
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:48,960
I want to try again.

251
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:53,680
I want to restart instead of face my problem head on because of that self doubt, wondering

252
00:13:53,680 --> 00:13:54,680
if I was going to fail.

253
00:13:54,680 --> 00:13:55,680
Well, guess what?

254
00:13:55,680 --> 00:13:57,640
I face it head on and it sucked.

255
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,080
It was the worst thing ever.

256
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:05,200
But by little simple steps and little simple tasks, I was able to push through and I accomplished

257
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:06,480
what I was looking to accomplish.

258
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:13,400
So all in all, guys, life can be rough whether you're at home or whether you're running

259
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:17,560
a business or trying to excel in a career.

260
00:14:17,560 --> 00:14:23,360
It's rough, it gets tough and it's hard and you need to prepare yourself right now.

261
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,760
Even if you haven't faced those moments or not facing them, you need to prepare yourself

262
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:32,160
right now and make the decision now that you are going to push through it and do the small

263
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:33,160
things that matter.

264
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,280
And hey, if you're not doing small things that matter right now and you're not even

265
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,520
going through anything, do them right now.

266
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:39,520
So that's already a habit.

267
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,680
And number one, if you do them right now, it's going to help you succeed even further

268
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:43,680
anyways.

269
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:47,760
So by small and simple things, great things come to pass.

270
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:52,040
By small and simple things, is self-doubt completely eliminated and destroyed?

271
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,880
And by small and simple things, are you able to succeed?

272
00:14:54,880 --> 00:15:00,880
So that all in all is basically what I want to talk about today.

273
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,720
It's been on my mind a little bit and I think mostly because I've been killing that and

274
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,400
I think it comes from me in phases and waves.

275
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:15,160
And what's important to recognize is if you're feeling self-doubt, that is a good thing.

276
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:16,160
That's a good thing.

277
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,560
That means you're doing stuff you've never done.

278
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:22,600
That means you're doing things that are pushing you out of your comfort zone.

279
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,120
So that should be a good sign that you're actually moving up and forward.

280
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,920
If you're not feeling that, if you're comfortable, you're probably not doing enough.

281
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,600
You're really not doing enough.

282
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:37,920
Because success, getting to the next level, consistently going to the next and that's

283
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,240
the next level, you should always be out of your comfort zone.

284
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:46,600
You should always be having to push yourself, having those emotions and actually having

285
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,960
to do those small and simple things in order to succeed.

286
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,760
So if you're not feeling that right now, self-evaluate.

287
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,960
Probably you're going to realize you're not doing enough.

288
00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:59,800
You're not moving forward.

289
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,560
And reevaluate and get yourself back on track.

290
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:07,880
If you're feeling those feelings, evaluate and then focus, hey, what are these five power

291
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,640
tasks or, again, I'm going off of what Andy has taught before.

292
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:16,960
Whether you have five, 10, 15, 20, one, two or three, it doesn't really matter.

293
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:21,680
Figure out what your tasks are and then push forward and get them done.

294
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,640
Because I personally have done it.

295
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:28,000
I know it works and I'm going to continue to do it and I'm going to continue feeling

296
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,000
self-doubt.

297
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,720
I'm going to continue feeling when I get to that next breaking point, man, I've got to

298
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:33,720
go.

299
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:34,720
I'm going even bigger now.

300
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:35,720
Can I do that?

301
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:36,720
Am I able to do that?

302
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,160
Hey, this was easy because these were people I was in with.

303
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,280
Now I got to deal with these type of people.

304
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:47,400
We talk about elder contracting, the transition it's making.

305
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:54,960
Is nerve wracking going from crushing the remodel industry and building industry on

306
00:16:54,960 --> 00:17:02,040
a decent level to now going to homes and dealing with clients that are on a whole different

307
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,600
level financially, that are on a whole different level with their mindset.

308
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,600
They're living a whole different lifestyle and being able to accomplish what now they

309
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:16,160
want versus what the clients we deal with now want.

310
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,920
I'm not sure if I'm explaining that well, but it really is a huge difference.

311
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:26,280
It's a huge difference from doing a cookie cut home to building a custom home with a

312
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:30,000
35 car underground garage.

313
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,360
That's the type of difference that it is in this clientele.

314
00:17:33,360 --> 00:17:37,280
The question is, man, 28 years old, are they going to listen to me?

315
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:42,360
I thought it was crazy trying to get someone when I first started back, whatever years

316
00:17:42,360 --> 00:17:48,760
old early on, like, hey, how do I get someone to trust me, a 20 year old kid with quarter

317
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:49,760
million dollars?

318
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:50,760
That's insanity.

319
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:52,800
They're never going to pay me.

320
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:57,680
Well, by small things and doing certain things, they were able to see, OK, a kid knows what

321
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,880
he's doing and they were able to pay me that quarter million.

322
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:04,280
Now I got to go and see, hey, how is this person going to trust a 28 year old with six

323
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,320
million dollars for a brand new custom bill?

324
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:08,320
That's insane to me.

325
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:12,440
But again, if I follow those simple and small things, I'm able to overcome that self doubt

326
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,840
because I know these things work because they've worked in the past.

327
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:15,840
They'll work for this client.

328
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,920
I may need to tweak them a little bit, but they're going to work.

329
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,800
So this is a homework assignment podcast.

330
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:27,120
It's continuous talking about topics that we face every day that affect our home life

331
00:18:27,120 --> 00:18:31,800
or work life and just not only trying to find the balance, but trying to find solutions.

332
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:37,560
So guys, please comment if you guys have any solutions or let us know what's worked for

333
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:38,560
you.

334
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,840
OK, put your input in there.

335
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:42,200
And we're all here to share.

336
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,400
We're all here to learn from each other.

337
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:45,960
And that's what this is all about.

338
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:46,960
We want to be a team.

339
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,800
We want to be able to lean on each other and really figure out how we can dominate our

340
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:56,600
sector and be in while doing that, becoming the best person that we can be.

341
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,920
So I've used this phrase before.

342
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:03,880
Before you become a seven figure or have a seven figure business, you need to become

343
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:04,880
a seven figure person.

344
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:10,920
If you skip that step, you're going to fail really quick if you even get there to those

345
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:11,920
seven figures.

346
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,760
So really personal development.

347
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,760
So anyways, thanks for joining, guys.

348
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,200
We appreciate you.
