1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:15,480 What's up guys, welcome back to the Homework Assignment Podcast. 2 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:24,280 I'm your host, Rj Patino, and today we're going to talk a little bit about change. 3 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:28,200 Podcasting first of all is a lot of freaking work, I can tell you that much. 4 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:33,080 It takes time and it takes dedication and it takes a lot of planning, a few of those 5 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:39,760 which we are a little bit bad at, but at the end of the day it definitely, not only I think 6 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:44,000 helps other people, but it definitely helps me and I think those of us that are actually 7 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,080 making this and producing this. 8 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:53,520 Last night I was reading a book, my daughters always want me to read a book at a time, so 9 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:58,160 they brought me this book about this dinosaur who discovered hamburgers, for those of you 10 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,760 that have read it, you know what I'm talking about. 11 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:08,360 But basically it really is that, I forget the dinosaur's name, but he lives in this 12 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:14,360 village and there's all these great kinds of food, they got french fries, chicken tenders, 13 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:20,240 pizza, really all the basic American food so to speak even though most of those aren't 14 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:25,960 even American, but he felt like there was something missing. 15 00:01:25,960 --> 00:01:33,760 And so the book goes on to tell the story of this dinosaur's journey through the land 16 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:42,240 that he lives in and him pulling up to a bread, or like yeah, a bread forest, finding pickle 17 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:50,220 plants, a river of mustard and another river of ketchup and anyways he basically discovers 18 00:01:50,220 --> 00:01:53,520 all the key ingredients to make hamburgers. 19 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:58,920 Then at the end he goes through a little bit of trial and error on how to stack his hamburger, 20 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:05,840 whether he has bread, you know, patty, bread and then all the toppings and condiments and 21 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:11,480 you know he finally got it just right and he realized that this is what was missing. 22 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:16,240 How many of you guys feel like there's something missing in your life? 23 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:22,920 How many of you feel like there's just something that needs to be added to your home life, 24 00:02:22,920 --> 00:02:29,680 to your work life, to your business, to just everything in general maybe or to your emotional 25 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,640 stability, mental stability. 26 00:02:33,640 --> 00:02:45,000 I think at various points in our lives there's something missing and I think as we grow up 27 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:51,500 and we experience life and we venture into new careers, new paths, we enter into new 28 00:02:51,500 --> 00:02:56,240 problems and therefore there's something we're missing, right? 29 00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:02,280 Everything in life is trial and error and the only way to discover what you're missing 30 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:08,920 is to seek for what you're missing is one of them, to acquire the knowledge and find 31 00:03:08,920 --> 00:03:15,400 out what it is and then a lot of times you have to apply that knowledge and which that 32 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,680 means it leads you to change, right? 33 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:27,240 It leads you to changing something about yourself or an action that you're doing to acquire 34 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,080 a new outcome, a new result, right? 35 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,080 Change can be pretty hard. 36 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:40,400 I don't know about you guys but for me change is fortunately and unfortunately very consistent 37 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:46,440 in my life and it breeds a lot of results as well as maybe some results that we don't 38 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,520 want some of the times but it's essential. 39 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:57,920 It's essential to life itself, it's essential to success and every aspect of life and change 40 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:03,280 can be a little frightening at times I think for those of you that follow this podcast 41 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,840 you may know about some of the changes that we've been doing here in our company, elder 42 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:13,800 contracting and some of the new systems procedures as we have break in some thresholds and breaking 43 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:18,680 points and revenue and we've grown and added more people to our company. 44 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:24,760 Our structure has shifted a little and changed and come to find out we were missing key components 45 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,040 in our structure, right? 46 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,480 That's that question what am I missing? 47 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:33,760 There is something missing here and so we had to go on a little bit of a journey ourselves 48 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:40,400 into the hamburger forest to find these key ingredients that needed to be added to our 49 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:47,440 DNA as a company in order for us to complete ourselves and be able to acquire what we're 50 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:48,560 seeking, right? 51 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,240 Which what we're seeking is success. 52 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:58,440 We're seeking to change the world, to disrupt our industry and a lot of us you know we're 53 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:04,600 big on self-development so a lot of us are also trying to change things at home and if 54 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:10,120 being able to accept that change is needed I think you know let's go through the steps 55 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:11,120 of change. 56 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,320 First you have to identify, right? 57 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,040 Let me back up. 58 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,080 First you need to accept that there's something missing. 59 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:23,160 You need to realize there's something missing then you have to find what is missing. 60 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:30,360 Once it's found you have to develop a plan to apply it and a plan to execute applying 61 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:35,120 it right and make it work and then adapt. 62 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:41,000 I think that word change and adapt right I think they're synonyms I'm pretty sure. 63 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,000 What? 64 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,000 What are they? 65 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,000 Synonymous, yeah. 66 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,000 Synonymous? 67 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,000 Yeah. 68 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,160 Same thing, you could've just left it at synonyms 69 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:57,880 Anyways so, but I do think they have two different meanings. 70 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,760 Maybe that's not the right way to put it but let's think about it. 71 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,440 Change what is change? 72 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:15,160 Change is pivoting, altering the things that you are currently doing for a different outcome. 73 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:19,000 Adapting is also change right? 74 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:28,440 Synonyms but I think personally adapting is to transform yourself to transition yourself 75 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:34,660 to make what you're being handed work. 76 00:06:34,660 --> 00:06:46,000 So rather than changing the situation perhaps you're adapting yourself to fit the situation. 77 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,980 And I know that may seem like they're the exact same thing but for some reason in my 78 00:06:49,980 --> 00:06:51,520 head they feel different. 79 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:57,600 When I say I need to adapt into this situational workspace or if I need to change myself or 80 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,280 change the situation itself. 81 00:06:59,280 --> 00:07:02,520 To me they're just two different things. 82 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:10,200 And I'm not trying to geek out too much on the definitions of each word, but I do think 83 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:11,640 they have two different impacts. 84 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:18,680 And I know we've gone through kind of both of the impacts of change and adapting. 85 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,760 We've applied new systems which is change. 86 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,520 We've changed the way we do things. 87 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:28,680 And then we have other systems that we've disciplined ourselves and adapted our lifestyle 88 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:33,320 to fit to go hand in hand with some of the systems that we've been doing to better them 89 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,960 right? 90 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:40,680 And it's been, it's hard right? 91 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:41,680 Nothing's easy. 92 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:46,480 I don't think anything that's truly rewarding should ever be easy. 93 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:52,480 Everything that has the most fruitful reward is going to be hard. 94 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,920 And it's hard to maintain that mindset when you're going through change. 95 00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,360 But I think we all know change is essential. 96 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,540 So what is missing from your guys' life? 97 00:08:04,540 --> 00:08:08,360 What is missing from your home life and your work life? 98 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:18,080 And how can you make the changes add to it, take away, alter, adapt in order for you to 99 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,400 be more successful? 100 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:27,440 In the past couple of weeks we've gone through some changes that were unforeseen. 101 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:32,560 Meaning right there's always changes you plan for, adaptations you know you have to make. 102 00:08:32,560 --> 00:08:35,320 And then there's the things that are surprises. 103 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:39,400 We've had a couple surprises the last couple of weeks. 104 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,960 You know we're not perfect right? 105 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:44,400 No company is perfect. 106 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:45,400 We have problems. 107 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:50,400 We're a successful company but that doesn't mean that our jobs go as planned. 108 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:55,480 That doesn't mean that all of our clients end up 100% happy at the finish line. 109 00:08:55,480 --> 00:09:01,480 It doesn't mean that we don't make mistakes like for getting to plumb in a certain fixture 110 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:08,440 or maybe our supers didn't take a look at the electrician's lighting sequence and ones 111 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,440 off two inches and they don't line up. 112 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,040 We make mistakes. 113 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:19,720 But there are those mistakes that come with the territory. 114 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,320 And there's the ones that are just surprises. 115 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:29,640 So what do you guys do when you get a surprise change? 116 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:35,760 A surprise pivot in your schedule, in your plan, whether it's a short term plan, long 117 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:36,760 term plan. 118 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:42,720 And it just completely shakes you as a person or shakes your company or shakes your home 119 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,840 life. 120 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:51,680 I think those moments are some of the most pivotal moments in who people are and how 121 00:09:51,680 --> 00:09:59,140 companies are going to, whether a company is going to succeed or fail. 122 00:09:59,140 --> 00:10:02,120 Because life itself consistently is throwing curveballs at us. 123 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:08,520 There's consistent changes and changes to our economy, changes to life. 124 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:13,800 Maybe some of you have lost a loved one that was unexpected. 125 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:19,760 There's changes to people, I guess, and their genders. 126 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:21,600 Which is interesting. 127 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,840 But there's changes all around. 128 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,960 So what do you guys do when you're when you're hit with a curveball? 129 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:35,600 I think I've seen enough of people who have changed, people who say they're changing and 130 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:41,780 people who have tried and failed at changing to know that it comes down to one thing. 131 00:10:41,780 --> 00:10:45,920 And that is deciding to actually do something about it. 132 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:47,400 I've talked about this before. 133 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:52,640 And the reason I'm talking about it today is because I'm currently writing a book and 134 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:59,400 I have read quite a few books about money, like finances. 135 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,720 I've read books about building businesses. 136 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,560 I've read books about being a better person. 137 00:11:05,560 --> 00:11:12,720 And in my journey to change my life, in my journey to become someone different than I 138 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,280 was, it came down to one thing. 139 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,160 And that was deciding. 140 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:22,880 And I want to share a little bit about. 141 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,680 Oh, I just hit the camera. 142 00:11:25,680 --> 00:11:26,680 You're good. 143 00:11:26,680 --> 00:11:27,680 Am I good? 144 00:11:27,680 --> 00:11:31,840 And that was a change that shook the world right there, guys. 145 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:39,400 I want to talk a little bit about change and how it's affected me and how I felt going 146 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:48,040 through change and how the outcomes of the change affected my life and my home life and 147 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:49,040 my work life. 148 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:58,680 So I, as I started to build my business, there was like one thing that I there was a bunch 149 00:11:58,680 --> 00:12:01,600 of stuff going wrong in our company for a little while. 150 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,280 And I used every excuse in the book. 151 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:06,520 They're growing pains. 152 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:07,520 It's normal. 153 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:12,040 We just have to get through this because this is going to give us experience of what not 154 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,160 to do again and et cetera. 155 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,640 And I used it quite frequently. 156 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:24,120 I felt that a lot of the problems that were happening were part of the territory. 157 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,440 I felt like a lot of the problems that were happening were probably mistakes of other 158 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:28,440 people. 159 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:33,800 I felt like people were making the same mistakes that I've already made 10 times and wasn't 160 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,360 sure why they're making it again and again. 161 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:41,680 I've like I said, I've used every excuse in the book. 162 00:12:41,680 --> 00:12:49,480 And a little while ago, it finally dawned on me that the problem wasn't the territory 163 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,000 of the industry. 164 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,280 It wasn't the people that I worked with. 165 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:59,600 It wasn't my clients and it wasn't growing pains. 166 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,760 The problem was me. 167 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:15,120 And from that moment, my entire trajectory of my company and my personal who I am as 168 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:20,120 well as my family has drastically changed. 169 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,400 I don't remember what book I read it in. 170 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:29,280 It's either by Ed Mylett or Grant Cardone, but they talk about assuming all responsibility. 171 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,640 What does it mean to assume all responsibility? 172 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:39,940 It means that no matter what happens, no matter what goes wrong, it's somehow your fault. 173 00:13:39,940 --> 00:13:46,440 And I think the example that they use in the book was that if somebody was driving behind 174 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,620 you, you're at a red light, you're parked and somebody was driving full speed and they 175 00:13:49,620 --> 00:13:52,840 crash into whose fault would that be? 176 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:58,560 Well, a lot of people would say it's the person that was driving that didn't see the people 177 00:13:58,560 --> 00:14:00,360 that was stopped at a stoplight. 178 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:01,840 It's that person's fault. 179 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:08,080 Yet what could have you done differently to have changed that outcome? 180 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:09,080 Now that I remember it was Ed Mylett. 181 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:10,880 It was Ed Mylett that talked about this. 182 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:15,660 He talked about, well, maybe you could have left a little bit earlier. 183 00:14:15,660 --> 00:14:18,040 Maybe you could have got dressed faster. 184 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,920 Maybe you could have went a different way. 185 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:28,280 Maybe you could have chose a different lane, but everything you did led you to that point 186 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:34,160 to get rammed from behind at a red light. 187 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:40,280 Now of course it's really easy to say, hey, this guy messed up, but the power of assuming 188 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:44,320 all responsibility leads to change. 189 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:50,520 Okay, because every situation in life, we can come up with an excuse. 190 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:56,480 We can blame somebody else and it's easy to do that and feel fully justified. 191 00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:03,960 And sometimes you may be fully justified, but then that experience will not breed change 192 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,460 or adaptation in you. 193 00:15:06,460 --> 00:15:09,880 And therefore it does nothing for you. 194 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,760 It does nothing for you. 195 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:20,480 And going back to my experience and realizing that I was a problem, that things that I was 196 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:28,000 doing were the cause of everything going wrong and assuming that full responsibility absolutely 197 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,520 changed me. 198 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:30,640 Why? 199 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:35,120 Because I finally realized that I had to do something different. 200 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:43,360 I had to adapt and implement change into myself in order for everything around me to change. 201 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:52,360 We talk about peer or friend groups, peer pressure, all that kind of stuff. 202 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,000 Well, you are who you hang around. 203 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,840 My parents used to tell me that all the time. 204 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:58,360 You know, like you are who you hang around. 205 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,800 If you're hanging around bad kids at school, then you're probably not making the best decisions. 206 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:05,240 It used to irritate the crap out of me because I used, hang out with Kyle over here. 207 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,160 Kyle is a good kid, but just kidding. 208 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:14,080 Just kidding about being a good kid. 209 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:18,880 But you know as a kid you think you know everything, but looking back now, how true is that? 210 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:23,280 And now I'm over here teaching the doctrine to everybody else that I know that like, hey, 211 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:28,220 you need to surround yourself by people that bring you up, that are better than you, that 212 00:16:28,220 --> 00:16:35,560 are you know on the path to betterment and to success in order for you to get better. 213 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:44,600 And being able to finally understand that you have it's now in your hands. 214 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:51,520 Everything that's going wrong around you is the solution is you. 215 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:55,040 That is a powerful realization. 216 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,160 Understanding that you don't have to depend on anybody. 217 00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:01,400 You don't have to depend on mom, dad, friends, teacher. 218 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:06,480 You don't have to depend on anybody but yourself to get you out of the situation you're in, 219 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:10,480 to better it and to breed results and breed success. 220 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,720 And again, this goes into business. 221 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:18,220 This goes into maybe your marriage, maybe, you know, a hobby. 222 00:17:18,220 --> 00:17:19,800 It goes into everything. 223 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:23,500 Assuming full responsibility breeds change. 224 00:17:23,500 --> 00:17:26,400 Now may sound easier than it is. 225 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:30,980 I'm sure some of you are thinking that and it's it is harder than it sounds 100 percent 226 00:17:30,980 --> 00:17:34,440 because there's one key element to there. 227 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:38,160 You have to actually do something about it. 228 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:43,120 That is what I'm writing about is the power to choose. 229 00:17:43,120 --> 00:17:46,900 It takes one decision, one decision. 230 00:17:46,900 --> 00:17:48,200 That is it. 231 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:52,400 Whatever you're struggling with, whatever needs to change in your life, whatever you're 232 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:57,840 doing, if it's not breeding the results you're craving, if it's not taking you down, you 233 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:02,040 know, the path to achieve your vision, there is change that needs to happen. 234 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:03,240 Well, guess what? 235 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,180 You don't need to wait for a loan. 236 00:18:05,180 --> 00:18:08,360 You do not need to wait to meet the right person. 237 00:18:08,360 --> 00:18:11,820 You do not need to wait to move out of your house. 238 00:18:11,820 --> 00:18:16,080 Whatever excuse you're thinking of in your head right now, it's wrong. 239 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:22,080 The only thing you need to do is decide to act because you cannot breed results without 240 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,640 acting, without doing something. 241 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,600 Everybody wants to be a millionaire. 242 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,480 But what are they doing to achieve a million dollars? 243 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:34,640 They're probably at home eating hot Cheetos, watching vampire diaries. 244 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,060 That used to be me. 245 00:18:36,060 --> 00:18:40,600 Don't judge the choice of TV. 246 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:46,800 But at the end of the day, again, when I go through my experience, when I'm able to look 247 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:55,000 back and decide or, you know, look back at that deciding factor of like what made me 248 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,000 change my life. 249 00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:59,680 I wasn't in the best place in my life. 250 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:04,440 I've told the story a few times on here and I was making every wrong decision. 251 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:11,040 I was hanging out with the wrong people and I was yearning for something greater. 252 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,200 But it never happened time and time again. 253 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:20,320 No matter how much I wanted it, no matter how much I tried, no matter how much I prayed 254 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:24,720 for it, it never happened until the day I decided, you know what? 255 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:25,720 I'm done. 256 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:26,720 It's over. 257 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:27,720 It's through. 258 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,520 I am making a pivot and I'm going to do something different. 259 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:41,000 I got up, I left, moved in with somebody else and started my journey and it has led me here. 260 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,920 And the change is drastic. 261 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,900 And I've been able to see my friends make those changes and I've been able to see the 262 00:19:47,900 --> 00:19:50,800 friends that didn't make those changes. 263 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,840 And it's day and night comparison. 264 00:19:53,840 --> 00:20:06,280 And it's so hard for me to watch people suffer and watch them wallow and feel like victims 265 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,200 because maybe they felt they weren't dealt the right cards. 266 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:10,200 Well, you know what, RJ? 267 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,920 I don't know the same people as you. 268 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,160 You know what, I'm not as lucky as you. 269 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:16,960 That's one that pisses me off. 270 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:17,960 I'm not as lucky as you. 271 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:19,840 None of this is luck. 272 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:26,440 It's action and it's results and it's not perfect, but it's something to show. 273 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:27,560 Right? 274 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,440 Or RJ, you know what? 275 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:35,920 All the worst cards you could imagine are against me right now. 276 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:42,680 You could have the absolute worst life situation you can think of that anybody can think of. 277 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:48,920 Yet the one thing that can change you, change your life and get you out of the position 278 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:50,480 you're in is you. 279 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:59,120 And it's the only person, it is the only thing that can do it for you. 280 00:20:59,120 --> 00:21:08,900 There is a, I don't know if it's a parable, a story of, and I'm sure many of you guys 281 00:21:08,900 --> 00:21:11,640 have heard this and I'm sure you've heard it in a million different forms because that's 282 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,520 just how the world works. 283 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:21,120 This guy is stuck out at sea and he's stranded out in the ocean and he's praying to God and 284 00:21:21,120 --> 00:21:24,640 he's asking God, please save me. 285 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,320 Lord save me. 286 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:34,480 Little time passes by and a boat comes and the boat says, here, we're here to save you. 287 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:38,960 And this guy said, no, my God will save me. 288 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:45,640 I'm sure these guys looked at him all funny and like, okay, and they motorboated off whatever 289 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,240 that verb is. 290 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:53,200 Then the guy continues to pray, Lord save me. 291 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:54,880 Please help me. 292 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,740 Please save me. 293 00:21:56,740 --> 00:21:59,320 Another boat comes by a little bit later. 294 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,120 We're here to save you. 295 00:22:02,120 --> 00:22:03,320 My Lord will save me. 296 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:04,320 My God will save me. 297 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,600 I'm waiting for my God to save me. 298 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,800 They went off. 299 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:15,240 Man continues praying, Father, please save me. 300 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,360 Then a helicopter comes search and rescue. 301 00:22:18,360 --> 00:22:20,520 We're here to save you. 302 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:24,320 Now you know, this is a story, you know, a false story, obviously, or a metaphor because 303 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,120 obviously search and rescue would not leave this guy in the ocean. 304 00:22:27,120 --> 00:22:31,780 But for the story's sake, he says, my God will save me. 305 00:22:31,780 --> 00:22:34,080 So the helicopter leaves. 306 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,800 The man dies in the ocean. 307 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,680 Gets up to heaven and says, God, I prayed. 308 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,760 I waited and prayed for you to save me. 309 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:44,400 Why did you forsake me? 310 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,640 Why did you not come? 311 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:53,040 And God said, I sent two boats and a helicopter to you. 312 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,720 And I'm sure most of us are told that as a kid, you know, that story, or if you haven't 313 00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:01,200 heard it, it is a good, a good point, a good lesson. 314 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:08,480 It's always stuck with me, though, because sometimes we miss the mark. 315 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:16,760 Sometimes we are looking for a grand change, something dramatic to happen for us to actually 316 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:20,520 change like, oh, I want to be a millionaire. 317 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:21,520 All right. 318 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,600 Well, I'm just going to keep betting on the lottery. 319 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:25,960 Right. 320 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:27,880 Or just like that story. 321 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:29,800 Hey, I want to be saved. 322 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:34,880 Yet he passed up every opportunity to be saved. 323 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:36,200 Sometimes we miss the mark. 324 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:41,480 Sometimes we think the change in our lives needs to be some big pivotal moment, like 325 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:46,600 becoming famous, for example. 326 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:51,880 And therefore we miss some of the greatest opportunities. 327 00:23:51,880 --> 00:24:00,340 In our one of our business meetings, we were taught a lesson about how the small things 328 00:24:00,340 --> 00:24:02,240 matter in life. 329 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:06,920 I've heard that phrase apart from the gospel. 330 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,340 I've heard that phrase a lot in relationships. 331 00:24:09,340 --> 00:24:11,400 Women always say it's the little things that matter. 332 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,960 It's the little things that matter. 333 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:14,960 And it's true. 334 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:21,240 The little things do matter because you can wait 10 years for the big thing to happen 335 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:27,400 or you can do the small things frequently, consistently without pause. 336 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:31,000 And you're going to get to that thing you've been waiting for that you were going to wait 337 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:39,560 for for 10 years within a couple of years because small, consistent movement brings 338 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,080 results. 339 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:52,800 And the change that sometimes we think we need may be too small to think it will have 340 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:53,800 an impact. 341 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:58,200 Therefore, it doesn't happen. 342 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:03,020 So to kind of wrap this up and review a little bit. 343 00:25:03,020 --> 00:25:10,600 Number one, you need to understand that you are the problem. 344 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:15,600 Whatever problem you have in your life, it's probably your fault. 345 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:20,520 Whether someone crashed in the back of you at a stoplight or whether somebody made a 346 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:25,240 terrible decision that affected you somehow, someway, it's your fault. 347 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:26,780 You made a decision. 348 00:25:26,780 --> 00:25:30,680 You made a move that puts you in the position to be hurt. 349 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,200 Okay. 350 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:42,200 Number two, after assuming all responsibility, then comes the time to plan and act. 351 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:46,520 Then after that, you breed the results. 352 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:55,800 I 100% wish that people could understand the amount of power they have to change and that 353 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,160 people could understand that it doesn't need to be something big. 354 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:00,560 It could be something small. 355 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:08,520 And a lot of times it's sitting right in front of your face. 356 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:17,480 Had one of our subcontractors come in here, really awesome guy, and he's grown his business. 357 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,040 And he's like, you know what, RJ? 358 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:23,000 I am working my butt off. 359 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,720 I am trying to be successful. 360 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:27,240 I'm investing in my company. 361 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,920 I'm investing in myself. 362 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:31,640 And I'm doing everything I can. 363 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,140 I'm not taking any money from my company. 364 00:26:34,140 --> 00:26:35,840 My wife is a nurse. 365 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:37,280 She's paying the bills right now. 366 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,560 We're just trying to make this thing work. 367 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,560 And it's hard. 368 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,520 Well, he's right. 369 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,820 It is 100% hard, right? 370 00:26:48,820 --> 00:26:55,720 Being able to understand that you have the power to change where you're at is the most 371 00:26:55,720 --> 00:27:01,560 important aspect of starting a home life, starting a work life and succeeding in both 372 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,560 of those areas. 373 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:07,520 I cannot emphasize it enough. 374 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:15,720 You after everything that can go right in your life, everything else that's going wrong 375 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,880 is simply because with the things that went right, you made the right choices, made the 376 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:25,760 right changes, and you acted, and these things, you're not applying as much effort there. 377 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:26,880 And it may sound crazy. 378 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:28,480 You may say, you know what, RJ? 379 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:29,480 You're wrong. 380 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,040 I've tried every single thing, right? 381 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,440 Like this kid, I've tried everything to get you. 382 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,120 I'm trying everything. 383 00:27:36,120 --> 00:27:37,120 That's fantastic. 384 00:27:37,120 --> 00:27:39,940 What are you doing wrong? 385 00:27:39,940 --> 00:27:42,280 What are you screwing up? 386 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:43,320 I get you're trying. 387 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:44,320 That's fantastic. 388 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,120 But you're doing something wrong if you're not bringing results. 389 00:27:47,120 --> 00:27:49,320 And I'm not saying this kid wasn't bringing results. 390 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,440 I'm just going off of that experience, right? 391 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:53,640 I'm doing everything I can. 392 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:54,640 I'm trying so hard. 393 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:55,640 Well, that's fantastic. 394 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:57,520 What are you not doing? 395 00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,640 What are you not changing? 396 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:06,000 If you are doing something consistently and it's bringing you no results, well, guess 397 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:07,000 what? 398 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:08,000 It is time to change. 399 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:09,280 It is time to adapt. 400 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,840 It is time to implement a new system. 401 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:17,880 Go back to the drawing board and figure out what is not working and figure out a different 402 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:24,360 way to get it to work or a different method to get what you're trying to achieve. 403 00:28:24,360 --> 00:28:28,200 You cannot escape change and change is a consistent thing in business and home. 404 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:32,720 And if you think you can run away from it, you're very, very mistaken. 405 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:39,760 And it's really interesting, you know, talking about all this because sitting here now after 406 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:45,160 as much responsibility as I have assumed in the past, I don't know how long and as much 407 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,880 changes I've implemented, as much action that I've taken. 408 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:53,760 I sit here and feel like I'm not doing enough. 409 00:28:53,760 --> 00:29:00,720 You guys, all of us that want to be successful, right? 410 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:04,800 And I'm not talking about getting your. 411 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,040 Unfortunately, I'm right now. 412 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:13,960 I am not talking about just success being successful. 413 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:22,760 I'm talking about being ultimately the utmost successful you could be in what you're doing. 414 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:30,920 There's one thing that needs to happen, and that is you need to be obsessed with change. 415 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:40,480 You need to be obsessed with you need to have more wants to change than you do breathing, 416 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:44,720 than you do money, than you do anything else in your life. 417 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:54,320 Because if you have enough want and obsession over change, your life is going to breed more 418 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:57,200 than what you're hoping for. 419 00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:03,880 Because what people fail to understand, and I'm talking probably a little political here, 420 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:11,200 is that people think they can stay idle, that they can be slothful people, and that they 421 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:21,000 can get by by doing the very minimum or by consistently doing things wrong. 422 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:25,760 I went to, so at our builder conference in Austin, Texas, and I forget the guy's name, 423 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:36,000 gosh dang it, but he owns an instruction school basically on building. 424 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:37,800 It's like building science basically. 425 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:42,120 It's the science behind building construction. 426 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:46,760 And he says, there's a lot of people in here that are good at doing things wrong, meaning 427 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,880 nobody knows that they're wrong because they may hold up. 428 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:54,980 They may last 20 years like they're supposed to, but doesn't mean that it was built right. 429 00:30:54,980 --> 00:30:55,980 And that got me. 430 00:30:55,980 --> 00:31:02,080 Okay, well, there's a lot of people out there that know they're doing something probably 431 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:03,080 not right. 432 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:07,360 Maybe they didn't follow the directions to 100%, but they still got a good enough result. 433 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,200 And therefore, that is okay. 434 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:15,500 It's the mediocre, the average mindset that you know what, I just need to change a little 435 00:31:15,500 --> 00:31:18,480 bit to get here and then I'm good. 436 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,800 If that's you, totally cool. 437 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,380 If it works for you, that's great. 438 00:31:24,380 --> 00:31:31,400 But for us to become a different breed, a different animal, to be the absolute best 439 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:39,760 in everything we're trying to do, change needs to be an absolute obsession. 440 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:43,440 Change needs to be in every aspect of our lives. 441 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:49,540 Assuming responsibility, accepting that we need a change, implementing change, executing 442 00:31:49,540 --> 00:31:53,680 change and moving on to the next dang thing that you got to change. 443 00:31:53,680 --> 00:32:01,920 That is how you become one of the very few humans on this earth that is on the level 444 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:06,000 that I think, I hope most of you are trying to get on. 445 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,000 I know I am. 446 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:17,480 It can be overwhelming, 100%, but you guys need to be obsessed with it. 447 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:23,600 You need to want it consistently all the time, changing as much as you can, adapting as much 448 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:29,320 as you can, assuming your full responsibility and going forward and understanding that the 449 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:40,760 power to change the trajectory of your life, your mission, your vision lies within you. 450 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:46,640 No one can help you if you can't help yourself. 451 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:52,600 Going back to that story about that man that prayed and prayed and prayed, he did not let 452 00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:56,000 God help him. 453 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,000 And yes, he missed the mark in that story. 454 00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:59,320 That's a great story to show you both. 455 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,600 He missed the mark and he didn't allow God to help him. 456 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:08,920 But how many of you guys have what you need to change, but you're too stubborn, you're 457 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:17,200 too prideful to actually allow someone, maybe a curriculum or something to actually change 458 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:18,840 you. 459 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:26,800 It's time to allow it to happen, allow change into your life, assume full responsibility, 460 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,960 allow yourself to believe that you are the problem. 461 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:38,320 And I promise you, promise you everything is going to change positively. 462 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:39,440 Everything's going to get better. 463 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:41,760 Things are going to work out the way you want them to. 464 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:47,600 And only after you assume responsibility and you actually change yourself by putting in 465 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:48,600 actions. 466 00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:53,360 If you have to write down exactly what you have to do every single day, like a gym plan, 467 00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:54,760 hey, you know what, I want a six pack. 468 00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:58,600 Okay, well, what are you going to do every single day for the next however long to get 469 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:03,160 that six pack, write out your plan and then execute. 470 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:08,080 Okay, this is I'm not talking about a new year's a new year's goal. 471 00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:12,800 Okay, I'm talking about actually building a plan and committing to it and executing 472 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:16,520 it. 473 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:20,920 The greatest players in sports of all time. 474 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:22,800 And I'm talking I mean, there's been great players. 475 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:24,240 Let's talk about this. 476 00:34:24,240 --> 00:34:30,040 There's been great players and great success stories or successful people in the world. 477 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,480 And a lot of these people, we have no idea who they are. 478 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:37,360 Well, it's because they embrace a little bit of change and they made it work and they succeeded. 479 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,080 And then at some point, they stopped. 480 00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,680 At some point, it was enough. 481 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:45,320 And at some point, they didn't feel like they needed to do much more. 482 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:55,680 And there's the people like Michael Jordan, Kobe, LeBron, Tom Brady, in my opinion, Larry 483 00:34:55,680 --> 00:35:00,840 Fitzgerald, that's my homie. 484 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:11,200 You know, the amazing people in the world that have changed the course of history, Ford. 485 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:15,560 I mean, Ferrari, I mean, I could think of all kinds of people. 486 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:19,200 And what these people did was they embraced change. 487 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,040 They embraced thinking outside of the box. 488 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,520 They embraced implementing new things. 489 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:28,680 They I mean, we talked about who created a light bulb, Edison, Thomas Edison, right, 490 00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,320 created the light bulb. 491 00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:32,680 Okay, how many times did he fail? 492 00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:37,640 I forget how many times it was like hundreds of times that he failed and he kept going 493 00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:38,640 back to drawing board. 494 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:40,000 He kept figuring out what he was doing differently. 495 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,560 But he accepted and assumed all responsibility. 496 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:44,340 I am doing something wrong. 497 00:35:44,340 --> 00:35:45,760 This isn't working because of me. 498 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:52,920 This has nothing to do with it being possible. 499 00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:56,320 It has nothing to do with being possible. 500 00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:57,720 It was him. 501 00:35:57,720 --> 00:36:01,280 And the only reason he achieved the only reason I have two lights right here in front of me 502 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:05,200 right now is because he decided that he was the issue. 503 00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:06,400 He was a problem. 504 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:10,320 And he needed to change it to make it work and he freaking made it work. 505 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:14,960 And it changed the course of history for mankind. 506 00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:19,040 What can you assume full responsibility for that can change the course of mankind that 507 00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,120 can change your life? 508 00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:22,600 Those are the things you need to focus on. 509 00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:30,340 If you get anything out of this podcast today, I hope it's that you have the power to change. 510 00:36:30,340 --> 00:36:32,160 You do not need to be codependent. 511 00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:36,680 You do not need to rely on anybody else to change for you to change themselves in order 512 00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:39,120 for you to benefit or for things to work out. 513 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:40,120 It's you. 514 00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:41,120 You're the problem. 515 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:42,120 It's hard to say it. 516 00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,620 If you hate me for it, it is what it is. 517 00:36:44,620 --> 00:36:46,960 If you don't hate me for it, then I hope you apply it. 518 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,800 Or if you do hate me for it, I do hope you apply it as well. 519 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:50,800 I know I'm applying it. 520 00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:52,240 I know our whole team's applying it. 521 00:36:52,240 --> 00:36:55,280 I know it's done absolute wonders for us. 522 00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:59,720 So life is a balance. 523 00:36:59,720 --> 00:37:04,480 Work, life, everything in between. 524 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:05,520 It's insane. 525 00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:09,920 It's chaotic and it's absolutely amazing. 526 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:14,860 If you choose to enjoy it, if you choose to do the things that can bring the results you're 527 00:37:14,860 --> 00:37:16,060 looking for. 528 00:37:16,060 --> 00:37:21,600 If not, you can sit down wallow in sorrow and have regrets at the end of your life. 529 00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:24,000 So this is the homework assignment. 530 00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,240 Okay, change guys. 531 00:37:26,240 --> 00:37:27,920 Go find something. 532 00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:31,680 Identify what needs to change in your life and then act on it. 533 00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,320 Tune in for the next episode next week. 534 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:36,400 We're going to be doing another Q&A. 535 00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:39,480 So again, post as many questions that you guys have on there. 536 00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:44,480 I want to tackle some topics we haven't talked

of things you're dealing with, I'm dealing with myself 543 00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:17,140 and half the other people that know whether successful or not successful, it doesn't matter. 544 00:38:17,140
