Hey guys, welcome back to the Homework Assignment Podcast.
I'm your host, RJ Patino, and today we've got a great show for you.
We are accompanied here with Jensen Jobe, owner and CEO, founder of Haven Construction, and
he is going to be joining us.
We've got some Q&As.
We posted this online about a week or two ago asking the public for questions like,
hey, what are you guys struggling with?
What exactly do you guys want to hear from us that can help you get past the breakpoint
in your business or get past the slump that you may be in?
Because we all know that we all get those, right?
So but right now let's introduce Jensen.
Jensen, thanks for being here today with us.
Yeah, my pleasure.
And for those of you guys that don't know, Jensen is actually my uncle-in-law.
He's my wife's uncle and he's been a great mentor for me and our business here at Elder.
Actually there's, I don't know if Elder would have been a thing without Jensen and his mentorship.
So that's, you know, a huge gratitude on our end.
So Jensen, what is Haven Construction?
What do you guys do?
So obviously Haven Construction is a broader company than what I do in the company.
So I'll just share what I personally do.
So I have focused on windows and doors since 2005.
So that's been my primary focus.
Prior to that I was doing remodeling.
I started in the business in 2003.
So I was focusing, I actually started knocking doors.
That was my initial like thing.
Was that before technology or after?
Hey, I don't know.
That's how I started.
So knocking doors, getting leads for actually for my dad for remodeling.
At that time mainly kitchens and bathrooms.
2005 we started doing windows.
And then I'd say about seven years ago started to do more of a focus on transformations to
create like an indoor outdoor living with big sliding glass doors, multi-slides, bifolds,
creating that indoor outdoor living, opening up the house, making it feel like a model
home.
So yeah, that's kind of the primary things that I do.
So don't do really focus a lot of a whole lot on new construction, but mostly just like
retro fits.
Right.
So, and so to kind of go deeper and kind of elaborate on that.
So obviously you have a ton of brothers.
I don't remember how many, but I know you have a lot of them.
Everybody knows that.
Right.
So they're all in construction.
So everybody has like a certain piece of construction that they specialize in and you specialize
in what's called dream walls pretty much.
Right.
You guys branded, disrupt the industry and people like know your product as instead of
a multi-sliding, like, Hey, I want a dream wall.
I know someone called in and said, Hey, I want a dream wall.
And that's like, that's amazing.
Right.
So you know, your product, you know, you branded it.
Right.
So how, how exactly long, how long have you been in business and how has the expansion
or the, you know, over the years as you've grown, like how have you grown and like, what
have you done to grow your company exactly?
So I've been in business since Haven construction started in 2009.
As far as growing the business, we did do a little bit of advertising.
Actually I mentioned door knocking for the beginning, but they do a little bit of like
print, print advertising, did some home shows.
In 2017 is when we started kind of focusing on, you know, the dream wall thing where we
are, you know, creating that indoor outdoor living and changing your home, not your address.
That's our little slogan.
And I'd say the biggest thing is just trying to do a good job and making, making sure that
the homeowner knows that they're important and communicating with them and doing a good
job and then you get referrals.
So as far as advertising, we're probably way different than a lot of companies and we don't
really spend money on advertising.
Yeah.
Everything's been word of mouth.
And I mean, just from what I've seen in the last, I mean, when you first started kind
of helping me and mentoring me was in like, I think 2020.
So it was like three or four years ago barely.
And like, you know, I didn't know exactly where we were from then, but just seeing how
much you guys have grown and just all of them word of mouth, like you guys have to be absolutely
almost perfect in my opinion, what you should do for how much you've grown and like the
partnerships with all the vendors that like have partnered with you to sell their product.
Like I know, I don't know very many companies that just do sliding doors like you guys do.
Like that's what you specialize in.
So that's fantastic.
Well, well, that's Jensen for you guys.
So someone who brings a lot of experience, a lot of knowledge and not just, you know,
construction or windows, but also in entrepreneurship and how to build a business.
How has your guys' revenue grown over the years?
Like, have you been pretty stagnant?
Have you been growing?
No, we grow every year.
That's also probably something I should like know more about like, Hey, what's the dollar
amount of business we've done this month or this year?
I personally don't really focus on that that much, but we definitely have grown.
Yeah 100%.
And I can tell by just, you know, people that are working with adding members to our team
and just, you know, all the work that we have and all the things that I have to do on a
daily basis.
Yeah.
Phenomenal.
Well, today we are going to do a Q&A.
So we've got three amazing questions that's been provided by you guys and we're excited
to answer them and really just kind of dig in and, you know, it's all organic obviously.
So we're really excited to hear what's going on.
So our best friend and the best producer in the world, Michael David Lazer over here.
I would'nt say the best.
And I was told that this room is kind of nice and cool. My body runs a little hot.
They're feeling a little warm up in here, man.
I'm sure.
Yeah.
The AC is going to go kick on here in a second.
Yeah.
All right.
You guys ready?
So the first question we got is, do you feel like you have a good balance between your
home life and work life?
You want to go first on that one?
Yeah, I do actually.
I always, I would say that I wasn't always the best at that.
Definitely different times in my life.
I've worked, worked, worked, worked, worked.
Like we're talking like minimum 12 to 16 hours in a day.
Right?
But it's a situation where at different points in your life, especially when you're getting
started with things, you have to make sacrifices.
You have to make choices and it kind of depends on like you and your, I mean, I've been married
for almost 18 years.
I got six kids.
My wife is amazing.
She's never worked though.
So that's like, we have that balance where it works out good for us.
Like if I have to work a little more, I have to put more hours in, then she understands
it works well for us.
Right.
But yeah, I mean, at this point in my life, you know, yeah, I'd say a really good balance,
a lot of flexibility with my schedule.
And I always want to be there for any type of sporting events or any type of rehearsals,
recitals, or anything like that.
I'd say I can always schedule around and always be there for my, my kids.
I can take time to go on vacation and be with them and spend time with them.
So yeah, I'd say for me at this point in my life, I have, I feel like I have a really
good balance.
Yeah, I know.
And that's a great point.
And I know what's interesting is, you know, I was listening to it, well, we went to an
event for 10X with Grant Cardone and they were talking a little bit on the balance of
life and they said like, the balance doesn't really exist.
And I don't think they're meaning like literally doesn't exist.
I just don't think it exists 24/7 every single day.
Like there's days like where you do stuff to put in 12 hours or, you know, 14 hours
or whatever, you know, like I went to an event over, you know, this last weekend and an event
before that or that weekend before it's like, I was gone those Saturdays and Saturdays are
like a big family day for me.
And so it's like, I may not have balance every day, but overall finding that balance is really
just, you know, in my opinion, having your priorities straight.
I think Brandon Dawson at this conference whose Grant's partner, he was talking about
the balance.
He's like, you know, I'll go a couple of months where I'm working a ton and like, I don't
have, you know, I'm not spending a lot of quality time with my kids, but then I have
that month where I go on vacation and like I am there with my daughter and that is me
there with her.
And he was talking about either him or John Maxwell, who's, you know, the number one nonfiction
book writer in the world.
And they were talking about like, and again, I don't remember who it was, but they're like,
you know, he asked his daughter if she remembers, you know, him not being around due to work.
And her response was like, actually, I don't remember you ever not being around.
Like of course you were working a lot and gone a lot, but when you were here, you were
here and like, I don't remember when you weren't here.
I remember when you were here and that's the impact it had.
And I think, I think that's important to know because as far as like business owners, like
that is such a huge sacrifice is not having that family time or not spending enough time
with your wife or your kids.
And we feel guilty, right?
Like I'm newly married somewhat and I've been married almost five years and I have a couple
kids and it's like, I feel like those years are super important.
But then here I am, like I'm building a business and I'm having to sacrifice that time.
But another thing John Maxwell said, which stuck with me was he's like, but is it really
a sacrifice because at the end of the day you may be putting in now, but what you're
getting out of it is everything you're going to need to build those memories and have even
more time doing insane things with your kids.
Oh yeah, for sure.
And you know, one of the things you taught me, which again, I think I brought up to you
a couple of times, it's like, Hey, you know, you used to tell me your times now, like your
kids are small, they're being nurtured by mom.
Like the time you really want with them is when they're in junior high and high school
where you're you being there is really going to have a huge impact on them.
It's like, okay, now I got to really hustle, you know?
Yeah, no.
So anyways, you know, as far as the balance go, I that's kind of my opinion.
I think it exists differently on a daily basis.
Sometimes it's there and it's gray and then other days it's not really there.
Maybe you're full time going to work.
But I think it's important to recognize that it's not a 50 50 balance.
It's more, you know, like this podcast is a homework assignment, right?
So our mission is to find the balance and it's not a bet.
Like there's a fine line that just exists around the board.
It's a balance of like a different balance of day to day, week to week, month to month,
year to year.
And it really depends on where you're at with your career.
Totally.
Right.
I'm sure you're you know, your balance to work and home life was way different when
you were first starting out versus now you have a system, you have a structure, you have
people under you.
You know what I mean?
Oh yeah, most definitely.
Most definitely.
Yeah.
So that's fantastic.
Hope that answers that question.
And then I think also it kind of depends on your relationship with your, you know, with
your spouse.
Like what are their expectations?
What are your expectations?
And just communication is really key.
Yeah.
I think like for those of you guys that are building a business, whether you're married
or you're not married, your wife is probably the most important key to your success because
hands down.
Like for me, you know, my wife, I was at this conference and she was like, oh, you're meeting
Grant Cardona.
I really wish I was there.
I just want to be your biggest asset.
And it's like, well, you are because I can be here and you're.
I know you're at home and you're taking care of me.
I can have a family and be a successful entrepreneur at the same time.
And that benefits the entire family.
Like I couldn't do that without you.
You know what I mean?
So, yeah.
So one thing on that, I'll just say like for me, the most important decision you make is
who you marry.
Yeah.
Right.
That's the most important thing.
And as you have kids, there's nobody more important to you in your life.
Like my kids are the most important thing to me.
Right.
And I know my wife is always there to take care of them.
Yeah.
Right.
So I don't have to have that stress or that worry. So that helps me focus on work.
And helps me the the things I need to do done.
If I had to focus on like more than that, I don't know what I'd do.
Yeah.
So yeah, I'd say that's a good thing.
Every successful businessman always, Hey, what do they say?
Stands a woman.
Yeah.
Right.
There's a woman behind every successful businessman.
Pause real quick.
Do you mind if I not specifically talk about what bring up how like you were in a rut for
like a couple months?
I don't care.
Okay.
Just want to make sure so.
Yeah.
And I hope you don't mind me bringing it up, but I know like a little while back, something
happened.
You know, you had a family issue or something arise and you were kind of in a rut at work,
right?
Your balance was thrown off.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, it was thrown off, but it was thrown off like it was something that I chose.
Right.
My wife fainted and it scared me.
Right.
I mean, I didn't know what was going on.
You know, it was a really scary situation.
We took her to the hospital.
We did lots of testing.
And then because of that little experience, I just went to like, okay, made me like reevaluate
my life and think like, okay, well, do I really have to do this for work?
And do I have to do this?
Can I have somebody take care of this for me?
Can I delegate?
Um, so kind of in a rut in a way for work, but at the same time, um, it was a good thing
for me because I was spending more time with my wife.
Yeah.
I mean, I think she needed me, but I also, I wanted to be there for her as well, just
to make sure everything was good.
So when I remember like you were taking your kids to school in the morning and stuff, you
were doing all kinds of stuff.
Yeah.
And it was kind of fun.
Like, so I can't, I can't say, but, but yes, was I, I wasn't as focused on work for sure.
Yeah.
So yeah, work things or I was delegating more than I typically would have.
And I think that, I think one of the points that, you know, the pictures that that paints
is like, you know, I know like when my wife leaves my kids with me, I'm like, oh my gosh,
like this is a totally different job.
Like this is a lot more difficult and it's like, it makes them even more essential.
I feel like when we're talking about like having that, that wife at home, being able
to be that homemaker and it allows us to be successful.
And I know from my experience and a lot of people attest to this, like when things are
good at home, you are more successful at work.
You're at your best. For sure, oh yeah definetly
Like, if you're in a fight with your wife and it's a bad fight, like you're bringing
that to work and it's that energy you're putting down on everybody and this is draining you.
Yeah.
So for sure.
Cool.
Well, that was, that was a good question.
What else we got, yeah.
Maybe.
Let's go ahead and get to the next is what is a quote that has made a lasting impact
on your life?
I have one, I would say.
Do you?
So my quote is if it's to be, it's up to me.
Right.
And so that's what my dad taught me as a little kid.
If it's to be, it's up to me basically taking responsibility, right?
There's certain things, there's been mistakes that have been made on, on jobs since we're
talking about work.
But you know what?
I got to take responsibility.
You know, I should have, I should have inspected what I expected.
That's also another little thing that my dad always says, right?
Inspect what you expect.
So if you expect something, you should be following up.
You should be checking on that.
You know, it's be, it's up to me.
It's my responsibility to take care of that.
I have no one else to blame for any problem that I have other than myself.
You know, you think about any type of problem that you have in your life, I'd say most of
it's self-inflicted.
There might be a few little trials that maybe God wants to send your way to be able to help
you to learn a certain lesson.
But I would say most problems are self-inflicted.
Yeah.
And, and it's funny thinking that, cause I was like trying to think of my quote and I'm
like, I don't know if it's a quote, but it's a phrase that has stuck with me and it's assume
all responsibility.
So it literally goes hand in hand.
I think, you know, you've been able to see our company grow, right? Sure, yeah yeah.
And you know, we've, we've had a lot of hardships, you know, just running projects wrong, you
know, doing stuff wrong.
And we've been able to fix a lot of that.
But one of the biggest things is like, as I was growing the company and becoming a leader,
you know, I always was just like, okay, I have this process.
And if somebody wasn't doing a right, I was like, dude, they're just failing at their
job.
Well, rather now after going through, you know, a bunch of, you know, self-development
and working on myself, it's like, okay, I need to assume all responsibility.
And by doing that, I'm starting to realize, okay, they're not the problem.
I'm the problem.
And I think it's, and I actually do think it's Ed Milet who talks about it in his book,
his book called the power of one more, I believe.
And he talks about, he's like, hey, you have to assume all responsibility as a leader.
He's like, he gave a scenario and he said, if you were at a red light and you're waiting
for it to turn green and someone slams right into, whose fault is that?
Well, you have every reason to be like, well, it's their fault.
They didn't see me.
They didn't stop.
You know, I, I couldn't see them.
And he goes, but take a step back and assume responsibility.
Maybe you could have left for work a little bit sooner.
Maybe you could have, you know, taken a shorter shower.
And by doing different things, shorter, longer, whatever the case is, it wouldn't have put
you in that position.
But by assuming all responsibility, you are prepared to make a change rather than an excuse,
which doesn't involve change.
And that stuck with me because like, you know, as we've grown here for me, I used to just
blame everybody for everything.
Things weren't working.
I will, they're not doing enough.
They're not working hard enough.
Well, they're not listening.
They're not following the procedures and be able to take a step back and be like, okay,
I helped my primary, like maybe I'm the problem.
I was able to actually fix the issues because I realized, oh, well, I'm not providing enough
information here or I'm not doing this, or maybe I'm not being the example that I need
to be.
And that has absolutely changed my business.
And I'm trying to apply that into my home life right now, which I know it's already
making changes.
But like that has just been an absolute game changer for me, which goes hand in hand with
what you're saying, obviously.
Yeah, for sure, assuming full responsibility.
And it's a hard thing to do.
It's hard to be humble enough to do it.
Nobody wants to be wrong, you know what I mean?
But it's funny, but you're just talking about,
and again, a lot of things stick with me obviously,
but when I remember doing a job,
so give you guys a little rundown,
it's like Jensen used to be,
so when he was my mentor, he helped me kind of get started
and helped me get the capital I needed
to really get Elder off the ground.
He actually, I had originally started Elder Contracting
and failed horribly,
because I didn't know what I was doing.
I wasn't doing things right.
Just because I could pick up a hammer and a tool
doesn't mean I could run a business,
and I learned that the hard way.
And so when things fell the Christmas of,
I don't even remember, I think it was like 2019 or something,
like I had zero dollars.
We had a Colorado trip planned with my father-in-law Jed,
and I had to go to him and be like,
I don't even have the money to pay for the gas
to get up here.
And so a little while after, as I was trying to kind of,
I decided not to quit.
I decided not to, like I had a lot of opportunities.
I could have installed Windows for grandpa and stuff,
but I decided to keep pushing.
Well, Jensen called me, he's like,
hey, I think we're gonna start a restoration company
or whatever, which we know that didn't work out.
And that was one of the hardest things
I've ever done as well.
But anyways, he called me and said,
hey, we wanna try and do a restoration company.
We want you to help us with it.
And so guys gave me a salary
and my job was to go get work.
Well, lack of education on my part and ignorance on my part,
like starting a restoration company
is not a social media promotional type of thing,
because when people have an emergency,
they're not gonna go post on Facebook,
hey, my roof caved in, who do you guys know?
They're calling the insurance company.
So I went about it the whole wrong way.
So for six months, you guys burned money
and I brought in work,
and then we didn't get paid for some of those jobs.
It was so hard to collect from these clients. Sure.
Because they used the money that they weren't counting on.
Because insurance, anyways, long story.
But I don't remember what job it was specifically,
but I remember getting the job done
and you were gonna come in and inspect it,
because we were partners actively at that point.
And I was super excited.
I was like, okay, hey, we did good.
And then you came in and you were just like
pointing out everything wrong.
Like you saw a ton of stuff and I'm like,
dude, like chill out.
Like this actually looks pretty good,
but inspect it what you expect is what you told me.
Yeah, and which I don't think I was being like.
No, you weren't, you weren't.
I could have come across rude,
but I was like, hey man, you gotta think this, this.
I'm like, I'm looking at it.
You wanna find stuff wrong before an owner does.
Yeah, well, but that's what I'm saying.
Like I probably was a little bit offended
because I was just like,
I wanted to show you what we did, you know what I mean?
But like that's how we do it now.
Like, hey, every time I go to my guys job,
I'm like, dude, you guys need to look for this.
Like we need to assume responsibility
that things are, we gotta act as if things are done wrong
and look for everything wrong. Yeah.
And if we can't find anything,
then you know it was done right.
But that changed how we provided quality to our customers.
And assuming that responsibility is what every leader,
entrepreneur, father, just you as a person,
everybody needs to assume responsibility
because it changes your life when you realize
that the power is in your hands.
Like I'm writing a book right now.
I'm gonna call it The Power of Change,
but that's what I talk about. Yeah, that's cool.
Because like after everything I've been through,
that's the only thing that's been able to gert me
to actually change is realizing that I am responsible
and I have the power to actually change.
So I don't know, but yeah.
So if that answers your question, user whatever.
Yeah, on the quotes.
I think those are two good quotes.
We gotta tie hand in hand together on responsibility.
Is this number three?
This will be the third question.
Cool.
Yes.
So this one is living paycheck to paycheck
makes it hard to really enjoy life.
What can we do to break that cycle?
Do they want the easy answer?
I mean, I don't know.
So I think that's probably a question that goes really deep.
And for me, you have to change your spending habits.
If you're living paycheck to paycheck,
are you living a little beyond your means?
Where can you cut back?
Yeah.
Are you buying lunch every day or are you making lunch?
What could that save?
$10 a day?
$10 a day times at least six days a week, I'm assuming.
Maybe five days a week, it starts adding up.
It's just the smallest things can make a difference.
Did they put on there like what they mean by enjoy life
or is that all they?
Like, so Rick, can we read the question?
Living paycheck to paycheck makes it hard
to really enjoy life.
What can we do to break that cycle?
So two things, right?
You have to be conscious of what you're spending money on.
And then the second thing is,
is try to find ways to make more money.
Yeah.
Right?
I mean, so what can you do on the side?
You have to have a steady,
if it's a job that you're working nine to five,
you have to keep that steady income to a certain point.
And then at what point can you start incorporating
other things, a little side work
and that should help out.
Yeah.
Well, and I think there's really two options
that kind of go hand in hand.
And who's a financial guru that everybody talks about
about saving money?
We had a client that just did it.
Dave Ramsey.
There's that approach.
Dave Ramsey is like, hey, budget this, that, this, that.
But then there's also the approach
of go make some more money.
So like, I've done it the wrong way.
I've done it the wrong way my whole life.
Like I've never budgeted.
I've only ever spent money.
And just trusting I was going to go make money.
But that works for me.
That does not work for everybody.
Like I know that for a fact.
But like, I'm not saying that you shouldn't have a budget.
You need a budget.
I should do a budget.
I just never, I never have.
Because for me, it's like, if my wife, if I come home,
my wife has 18 Amazon bags in my front door.
I'm like, well crap, I need to go hustle this week.
And I know you know all about those Amazon packages.
Hey, Amazon's good.
Amazon's a good thing when there are other things
that cost more than actually, oh no.
Yeah.
But I think the easy answer is cut back.
You know, live in your means.
But it really depends on, in my opinion, how you enjoy life.
Like for me, enjoying life is not being stuck in my house
or in an office.
Like enjoying life, like I want to go out and explore.
I want to create new opportunities
to make memories with my kids.
Whether that's Disneyland or going to a different country.
Like that's how I really want to enjoy life.
And enjoying life for me is not having to worry
about swiping my card if it's going to go through
or if I have enough money to pay for something I want.
And again, everybody's different.
There's nothing wrong if that's not how you want to enjoy life.
But I think what it really comes down to is making more money.
There's ways.
So there's entrepreneurship.
Entrepreneur, by my personal definition,
is someone who is business minded, owns businesses,
and they make money.
They're the owners.
They're the people who are running the show.
Founders, CEOs.
But then you have entrepreneurship.
And this is actually something I learned earlier this year.
Again, just studying and investing myself in our company
is that entrepreneurship are the people that like,
maybe you don't want to own a company.
Maybe you want to work within an organization.
Because owning a company comes with all the heartache,
all the, you know, it's a roller coaster of emotions.
And some people just aren't built for it.
You know, I still question on days like, hey, I built for it.
Like, especially as you expand and grow.
But entrepreneur is someone who's like,
you're not the owner or founder,
but you are the best in your position.
You are striving to constantly improve.
So like, if you love cooking,
you can move your way up the chain as a cook, right?
Or we talked about people at McDonald's.
I know people that, you know,
they worked as a kid at the drive-through.
Now they're the general manager.
Like, that is how you make more money by being an entrepreneur,
by being the best you could be within your field, right?
I mean, so that's another option, in my opinion.
So...
Oh yeah, no, you can definitely do that for sure.
If you're gonna be a landscaper,
be the best landscaper you can be, right?
And then work your way up.
I would also say for me, like,
for those who believe in the Bible,
and if you don't believe in the Bible,
one thing that's brought like the most confidence for me,
as far as financially, is paying tithing.
So giving 10% of what you earn to God,
or to help build God's kingdom here on earth.
So to me, that's like the biggest thing.
You receive so many blessings
that you can't even receive all of them,
as it says in the Bible, right?
So for me, that's a huge thing.
I have a testimony of that.
I believe that very firmly.
And I think most people that are successful,
they do talk about giving 10% of their income.
And it's easy to say right now,
but it's like for the person
who is really struggling financially, how do you do that?
Well, there's blessings that you can get by sacrificing.
Right.
Well, and you read any book
about people that are successful,
they talk about give more than what you take, right?
So, and that is not only how you receive more,
but it's also how you enjoy your life more.
There's been moments in my life where it's like,
okay, I need to step back and smell the roses.
Because whether or not I'm,
I've been paycheck to paycheck,
and I've been to where I opened the account,
I'm like, holy crap, that's awesome.
But I've still had the moments
where I didn't enjoy life in both scenarios.
Sure.
You know what I mean?
It's like paycheck to paycheck, okay, cool.
I'm struggling to pay bills, it's stressful, right?
But when there's more money in the account,
with more money comes more problems and more stress.
And so there's been times where I've had plenty of money,
but I'm like, crap, man.
Like I'm not having the best day, I'm hurting,
I'm not enjoying life as if,
as I was when I was paycheck to paycheck.
Yeah.
You know, when me and my wife, when we first got married,
I was making a thousand dollars a week,
and this is before COVID.
So that four grand a month was, you're doing okay.
Now four grand a month, you can't even rent an apartment,
I feel like. Crazy.
But it is insane.
But I remember enjoying life a lot more.
I enjoyed more time with my wife.
You know, I was able to have my hobbies.
I video gamed all the time.
Well, fast forward now, I'm sacrificing all that
and maybe not enjoying the things I used to love
because I want to get more.
So I think there is a balance there as well as,
not to have the expectation that just
because you're making more money,
you're gonna enjoy life more,
but understanding that you need to find what you like to do.
Like make a list, make a list of what you like to do
and make a list of what you don't like to do.
How about you stop doing, like you do less of this
of what you don't like to do
and do more of the things you like to do
and that's gonna help you enjoy life.
And figure out a way to make the things you like to do,
make you money,
because that is where you're really going to enjoy life.
If you love what you do and it's not just a nine to five job,
not only are you gonna succeed more,
but obviously you're gonna have more fun, right?
Hey, I just want to know who knew
that you could ask one simple question
and talk about it forever.
I like, I keep talking like, I mean, I have more input,
but yeah, I'm not, I haven't like listened to podcasts
that much or I've never been on one, right?
So first one right here, baby.
We're starting your career.
Yeah, that's right, yeah.
So.
Well, I mean, and that's the biggest thing I like,
for those of you guys that are active in our podcast,
number one, thank you.
Like we appreciate you guys.
The reason we started this was simply because
I have gone so much out of podcasts
and it's not only about business,
but really hearing other people
that have done what I want to do
and hear exactly how they did it.
It's like, if you could sit down with someone
and you want to be a millionaire and someone said,
hey, if you do X, Y, Z, here, here and here,
and you'll gain that million dollars no matter what,
how many of you guys would actually do it?
You know what I mean?
Like if someone said, like if you knew,
like if you knew you could fail
or do something without failing,
what are the odds you're actually gonna do that?
You know what I mean?
Oh yeah, I know, for sure.
And that's what these experiences are.
The question is, will you implement it?
You know what I mean?
And so we wanted to create this podcast, a talk,
like there's a lot of podcasts about business
and about, you know, personal development
and just about home life and stuff.
And we, one of the biggest struggles
is finding the balance in home life
and trying to figure out, like for those of us
that are working and we have to work
because we all have to work, right?
To put food on the table, like how can we enjoy life?
How can we find the balance to where, you know,
we don't have to go through five divorces
to build a business or we don't have to go paycheck
to paycheck for right now and not enjoy life.
Like we want to dig deep into those
because we all have those questions
but we just don't know who to ask them to.
And that's what these podcasts are for.
It's like, you don't, you can ask them here
and we can tackle them.
But you're right, one question can go.
I mean, obviously I do a lot of talking
that can go through the moon
for how much we can talk about.
So are there any other questions or was that it?
That was all the questions for this week.
Cool, well, do you have any other inputs
you want to say on anything?
No, no, not really.
I was waiting to get on here to lose weight
but it didn't happen.
So here I am.
Yeah, we tried to get him like two months ago.
He's like, hey man, I'm like, hold on,
let me lose a little bit of weight if I'm on camera.
So there we go.
There's always something to work on in your life.
No matter where you're at, you can always be better.
You can always be a better dad.
You can always be a better husband.
You can be more physically fit.
I mean, holy cow, got lots of ways,
lots of areas to improve.
So yeah.
That's a good point.
I mean, like how many of you guys are waiting
to do something for, you know, like for you?
Like, let's wait, I want to lose a little more weight
to get on the podcast.
But this was a great podcast.
I feel like we gave good feedback.
One, I learned something.
You know what I mean?
And that's what this is all about.
But like how many of you guys are waiting
for something to happen in order to do something?
Like stop waiting, just go do it.
Just do it.
You have assumed responsibility and go get it done.
And here's a task for you guys.
Here's what you need to do right now.
