00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,080
Hey guys, welcome back to the homework assignment podcast.

2
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:11,720
I'm your host, Argya Patino.

3
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:13,760
Today we have a great show for you.

4
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:19,360
We have JT here with Combat Capital, correct?

5
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,480
And he has some great information for most great insight.

6
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:27,320
If you guys are like me, only in a business or small business, even a startup, it's really

7
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:31,960
hard to learn the ins and out of the economy, the government, when it's come to trying

8
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:37,000
to get capital to start your business, if you're a startup or even capital to expand.

9
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,720
And JT has some great insights here and we're really excited to begin and welcome to the show.

10
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:41,720
Oh, thank you.

11
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:42,720
Thank you.

12
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,920
Also, JT served in the Army for six years, correct?

13
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,640
So we want to thank you for your service, that's phenomenal.

14
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:53,400
We could talk in your thoughts of the way the world is right now, but that'll be

15
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:54,400
a very long show.

16
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:55,400
Yeah, right?

17
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:56,400
All the politics and everything.

18
00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:00,480
So JT tells a little bit about Combat Capital and your story behind that.

19
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:01,480
Yeah, sure.

20
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:07,000
Combat Capital is really another one of my mistakes and failures that just happened to come

21
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,000
through.

22
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,520
Funny story is one of my best friends from high school.

23
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:16,640
He had been working in the community doing consulting services for small businesses and

24
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:22,120
expanded market, which is a huge market here across the country, as you well as you

25
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:23,120
all know.

26
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,840
So I always thought, well, that's also a few new set of information.

27
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:31,160
He's been going to classes the last 10 years that I've been working with Flipers and

28
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:32,160
contractors.

29
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:33,520
He's been doing that.

30
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:39,520
And COVID happened and we were working 10 states by in houses with the team and my hard

31
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,920
money and my partner who pretty much taught me everything, they went to the Bahamas and they

32
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:44,920
were going to wait out COVID.

33
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,200
And I was like, what are you guys doing?

34
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,160
You guys taught me like, when there's blood in the water, that's when you don't go.

35
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,080
Yeah, like we could have made $100 million.

36
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:57,840
Sometimes that year and buy properties that people didn't want, like people that are in scarcity

37
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,640
for your city mode, just like people do at businesses, or I'll fit, you know?

38
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:02,640
Yep.

39
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:07,440
So when that happened, I try to keep things afloat for about, put it on the other

40
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,120
four months and realize we weren't buying anymore and we weren't moving anymore.

41
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,400
We're just offloading stuff.

42
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,920
And like other jobs I'd seen before, it's just like, well, man, things are getting

43
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:18,920
risky.

44
00:02:18,920 --> 00:02:22,740
Now, rewind about a year before that, my buddies been trying to push me to use my

45
00:02:22,740 --> 00:02:27,720
platform for the local community and he's like, hey, man, I'm building this lending

46
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:28,720
company.

47
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,220
You know this stuff, I'm like, wait, dude.

48
00:02:30,220 --> 00:02:31,720
He's like, well, you have a degree.

49
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,780
You just got your degree and finance and business science.

50
00:02:33,780 --> 00:02:36,660
Like, yeah, but I know like, unconventional.

51
00:02:36,660 --> 00:02:39,060
I know real estate investing style type like that.

52
00:02:39,060 --> 00:02:40,060
I know more of it.

53
00:02:40,060 --> 00:02:41,060
I know stuff like that.

54
00:02:41,060 --> 00:02:43,380
I don't know business loans and things like that.

55
00:02:43,380 --> 00:02:44,780
Like, it's crap right now.

56
00:02:44,780 --> 00:02:47,060
You know, I'm just making good money.

57
00:02:47,060 --> 00:02:49,980
And he's like, no, you know way more than you think you do.

58
00:02:49,980 --> 00:02:53,780
And so I was like, you know what, screw it, you know, nobody's really doing anything

59
00:02:53,780 --> 00:02:54,780
through and COVID.

60
00:02:54,780 --> 00:02:55,780
Right.

61
00:02:55,780 --> 00:02:56,940
So all there's a huge need for this.

62
00:02:56,940 --> 00:03:01,420
And the only people, it's like the last year of COVID, 2021, that last little bit of

63
00:03:01,420 --> 00:03:05,940
a lockdown, people were still trying to survive and get their business is going.

64
00:03:05,940 --> 00:03:08,780
And maybe in an entrepreneurial, that time I really respected that.

65
00:03:08,780 --> 00:03:10,860
And I was like, well, let me see what this is about.

66
00:03:10,860 --> 00:03:11,860
You know, I'll listen from you.

67
00:03:11,860 --> 00:03:13,700
I'll do whatever you say.

68
00:03:13,700 --> 00:03:16,900
And let me learn the game that way, you know, because if I could be a service, that's

69
00:03:16,900 --> 00:03:18,220
all I ever really wanted.

70
00:03:18,220 --> 00:03:19,220
Yeah.

71
00:03:19,220 --> 00:03:20,420
That's pretty much how I got in.

72
00:03:20,420 --> 00:03:23,420
And a bunch of knowers until I ran out of knows for my best friend.

73
00:03:23,420 --> 00:03:26,820
And then, you know, fast forward three and a half years later.

74
00:03:26,820 --> 00:03:29,940
And, you know, I own my own private brokers for that.

75
00:03:29,940 --> 00:03:33,620
And it'll be a resource for the community.

76
00:03:33,620 --> 00:03:34,620
Not just your home.

77
00:03:34,620 --> 00:03:35,900
But hold it.

78
00:03:35,900 --> 00:03:39,460
So combat capital, what inspired the name?

79
00:03:39,460 --> 00:03:43,580
Comic capital, I had a whole bunch of hard courteens on that.

80
00:03:43,580 --> 00:03:44,580
That's on me infantry.

81
00:03:44,580 --> 00:03:45,580
Like I'm boots on the ground.

82
00:03:45,580 --> 00:03:47,380
Like, I don't know.

83
00:03:47,380 --> 00:03:50,740
I didn't have the, even with like a little bit of marketing background and everything.

84
00:03:50,740 --> 00:03:52,980
Like, I came up with the stuff that was way too hard.

85
00:03:52,980 --> 00:03:55,020
Because I didn't want to sell my finance.

86
00:03:55,020 --> 00:03:57,820
But I wanted to relate my veteran community as well.

87
00:03:57,820 --> 00:03:58,820
Of course.

88
00:03:58,820 --> 00:04:01,460
You know, it was hard for me.

89
00:04:01,460 --> 00:04:03,940
I saw my buddy told me to come up with a list.

90
00:04:03,940 --> 00:04:05,980
He's like, give me 20 names.

91
00:04:05,980 --> 00:04:08,700
I came up with 20 names, mess around with fonts.

92
00:04:08,700 --> 00:04:10,340
I remember this is during lockdown.

93
00:04:10,340 --> 00:04:11,900
So we had more time than normal.

94
00:04:11,900 --> 00:04:14,620
And then I started looking at other companies.

95
00:04:14,620 --> 00:04:17,060
And I was like, well, I don't want that to influence me.

96
00:04:17,060 --> 00:04:20,420
So really, I got a list knocked down to four names.

97
00:04:20,420 --> 00:04:23,180
And I just put out on social media and let the people pick for me.

98
00:04:23,180 --> 00:04:24,180
That's amazing.

99
00:04:24,180 --> 00:04:25,180
That's pretty cool.

100
00:04:25,180 --> 00:04:26,180
And it worked out.

101
00:04:26,180 --> 00:04:29,540
Like, I got so much reaction so much love and people were like, I don't know what this is.

102
00:04:29,540 --> 00:04:30,540
But you know what I could do.

103
00:04:30,540 --> 00:04:31,540
We're doing a lot of good stuff.

104
00:04:31,540 --> 00:04:32,540
You know what I could do.

105
00:04:32,540 --> 00:04:33,900
I was like, man, what were you out of here?

106
00:04:33,900 --> 00:04:34,900
I got that.

107
00:04:34,900 --> 00:04:36,500
But it was great man to get that feedback.

108
00:04:36,500 --> 00:04:41,660
And I knew, I'm a very faith-based person, also spiritual person.

109
00:04:41,660 --> 00:04:46,540
Like, I definitely lean on my intuition as I get older.

110
00:04:46,540 --> 00:04:48,780
And there's just a feeling when you know they're right.

111
00:04:48,780 --> 00:04:50,260
It's a little nervousness.

112
00:04:50,260 --> 00:04:51,780
But it's a little bit of hunger.

113
00:04:51,780 --> 00:04:55,060
Like, let me, you know, when you get that feeling, that's the time to act.

114
00:04:55,060 --> 00:04:56,780
So I pulled the trigger on that.

115
00:04:56,780 --> 00:04:58,420
I knew how to put everything up.

116
00:04:58,420 --> 00:05:04,180
Got my LLC and start doing the grind of running another business.

117
00:05:04,180 --> 00:05:05,460
That's phenomenal.

118
00:05:05,460 --> 00:05:09,740
So what is your vision behind the company?

119
00:05:09,740 --> 00:05:12,300
Like, what is your target?

120
00:05:12,300 --> 00:05:13,540
Okay.

121
00:05:13,540 --> 00:05:19,340
My vision really, my target market is really small business owners that are looking

122
00:05:19,340 --> 00:05:25,140
to scale and grow and who are need of resources and or capital.

123
00:05:25,140 --> 00:05:27,260
Like, that's what we do.

124
00:05:27,260 --> 00:05:33,940
My vision is that there's enough information out there that my platform can be accurate

125
00:05:33,940 --> 00:05:41,060
current and quick act in so that we aren't the ones that are slowing up access to capital

126
00:05:41,060 --> 00:05:44,260
knowledge or network and people for business.

127
00:05:44,260 --> 00:05:45,260
You know, it's interesting.

128
00:05:45,260 --> 00:05:48,260
You mentioned when we were talking about the name, you're like, yeah, I didn't want

129
00:05:48,260 --> 00:05:49,260
to find ads.

130
00:05:49,260 --> 00:05:51,540
And I think that throws a lot of people off, especially online, right?

131
00:05:51,540 --> 00:05:54,740
If I'm saying, you know, me, if I'm getting capital from my company, all of a sudden

132
00:05:54,740 --> 00:05:58,460
I'm seeing finance companies across the board, it's just, it's not attractive, right?

133
00:05:58,460 --> 00:06:02,180
It's almost like it's these New York brokers trying to get to you.

134
00:06:02,180 --> 00:06:06,100
In my experience with, you know, goes hand in hand what you're saying is like, nobody has

135
00:06:06,100 --> 00:06:07,100
the information.

136
00:06:07,100 --> 00:06:11,360
You know, I feel like our business is pretty pretty good and has been going strong and

137
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,140
growing, but I still have enough information.

138
00:06:14,140 --> 00:06:19,060
I'm like, I'm not scared to go get capital, but I hold myself back because of that lack

139
00:06:19,060 --> 00:06:20,060
of information, right?

140
00:06:20,060 --> 00:06:24,500
And so, you know, you're talking about, you know, being able to provide that, like, you

141
00:06:24,500 --> 00:06:27,420
know, we were talking just a minute ago.

142
00:06:27,420 --> 00:06:30,220
And this would be guys who'll be back around me, but like, you know, I have the same name

143
00:06:30,220 --> 00:06:31,420
as my father.

144
00:06:31,420 --> 00:06:36,500
And so, my father used my name for like, phone carriers and, you know, on a more

145
00:06:36,500 --> 00:06:40,740
beautiful stuff like that because his credit was jacked up and so, and turning jacked up

146
00:06:40,740 --> 00:06:41,740
my credit.

147
00:06:41,740 --> 00:06:45,020
So I had a rough start building my company and I didn't have something like you to be

148
00:06:45,020 --> 00:06:47,220
able to kind of guide me.

149
00:06:47,220 --> 00:06:52,220
So what would you, how would you guide someone to get the information that, you know, you

150
00:06:52,220 --> 00:06:53,740
can provide people?

151
00:06:53,740 --> 00:06:54,740
Don't do it.

152
00:06:54,740 --> 00:06:55,740
How I did it.

153
00:06:55,740 --> 00:06:56,740
I did YouTube University.

154
00:06:56,740 --> 00:06:57,740
Good job.

155
00:06:57,740 --> 00:07:04,740
You know, just like an argue with what I was doing already and taking night classes at the same

156
00:07:04,740 --> 00:07:05,740
time.

157
00:07:05,740 --> 00:07:08,340
I was trying to learn this finance stuff.

158
00:07:08,340 --> 00:07:12,300
And I'm arguing about like, role market things with people in class because they're

159
00:07:12,300 --> 00:07:16,580
going to be the ones that are in those broker positions or working with those equity firms,

160
00:07:16,580 --> 00:07:20,300
things like that, money managers.

161
00:07:20,300 --> 00:07:25,260
The real way and the faster way that I did it with my company, the last three and a half

162
00:07:25,260 --> 00:07:30,540
years was going out and networking and asking for what I want.

163
00:07:30,540 --> 00:07:33,380
Being specific and clear on what I want.

164
00:07:33,380 --> 00:07:35,740
The hardest thing is to be unclear, right?

165
00:07:35,740 --> 00:07:37,500
You don't know what you don't know.

166
00:07:37,500 --> 00:07:41,140
That causes confusion, confusion leads to fear and what's fear.

167
00:07:41,140 --> 00:07:43,220
Foss out of it and set a picture of it, right?

168
00:07:43,220 --> 00:07:46,180
But it's one of the biggest barriers to everything.

169
00:07:46,180 --> 00:07:47,940
And we learn from our parents.

170
00:07:47,940 --> 00:07:49,940
These things not right, wrong or different.

171
00:07:49,940 --> 00:07:53,940
But you as a minority, me as a minority, you don't have to be a minority.

172
00:07:53,940 --> 00:07:58,540
If you're not coming from a place of wealth and understanding how money works, you're not

173
00:07:58,540 --> 00:07:59,540
getting these things.

174
00:07:59,540 --> 00:08:00,540
Yep.

175
00:08:00,540 --> 00:08:01,700
So you need to go out to your local chambers.

176
00:08:01,700 --> 00:08:04,300
You need to talk to your local nonprofits.

177
00:08:04,300 --> 00:08:09,580
They the real way that money falls from the government to a small business is very, very

178
00:08:09,580 --> 00:08:11,220
simple.

179
00:08:11,220 --> 00:08:14,260
Somebody requests a grant or they make a grant, they see a need.

180
00:08:14,260 --> 00:08:15,860
The government's usually behind, right?

181
00:08:15,860 --> 00:08:18,500
So there's a need and a specific market.

182
00:08:18,500 --> 00:08:22,220
They develop a grant or somebody else who does it and pitches it to them.

183
00:08:22,220 --> 00:08:25,940
Now they go and say, all right, we're going to open this up or receive a money, not it goes

184
00:08:25,940 --> 00:08:30,940
down to the state level and whether it's a municipality level, like your local level,

185
00:08:30,940 --> 00:08:31,940
right?

186
00:08:31,940 --> 00:08:35,980
So that's why grants are always changing or some are always updating.

187
00:08:35,980 --> 00:08:39,380
But in other ways, there's rich people that die off that have trust and what they want to

188
00:08:39,380 --> 00:08:40,380
do.

189
00:08:40,380 --> 00:08:41,980
I don't want to give it, you know, I don't want to give it to them.

190
00:08:41,980 --> 00:08:42,980
Yeah, exactly.

191
00:08:42,980 --> 00:08:45,580
Let me give it out to the role for a good cause, right?

192
00:08:45,580 --> 00:08:48,180
So now you have a lot of trust that make grants.

193
00:08:48,180 --> 00:08:50,300
There's lots of resources and money.

194
00:08:50,300 --> 00:08:52,580
It just understand the flow of it, right?

195
00:08:52,580 --> 00:08:53,580
That's interesting.

196
00:08:53,580 --> 00:08:54,580
It's like a monopoly.

197
00:08:54,580 --> 00:08:55,580
Yeah, yeah, that's a crazy thing.

198
00:08:55,580 --> 00:08:56,980
You got to know the rules, right?

199
00:08:56,980 --> 00:09:00,020
That's very bringing this up in this, it's kind of a long story.

200
00:09:00,020 --> 00:09:03,980
But a little while ago I was reading that the owner of Hobby Lobby decided not to give his

201
00:09:03,980 --> 00:09:06,060
fortune to his family or his kids.

202
00:09:06,060 --> 00:09:07,940
I always wonder, what happened to that money?

203
00:09:07,940 --> 00:09:08,940
There you go.

204
00:09:08,940 --> 00:09:10,940
Yeah, yeah, I brought it as donated or whatever.

205
00:09:10,940 --> 00:09:12,660
Yeah, I don't break it up however they want.

206
00:09:12,660 --> 00:09:14,300
And we can do the same thing.

207
00:09:14,300 --> 00:09:15,660
You can also make your own bank.

208
00:09:15,660 --> 00:09:21,500
There's so many financial tools that are out there that people are more than happy, more

209
00:09:21,500 --> 00:09:25,500
than that, especially we're very fortunate here in Arizona that we have the tools.

210
00:09:25,500 --> 00:09:27,460
I would have wasn't always like that.

211
00:09:27,460 --> 00:09:31,180
The last five to 10 years, I've seen a change in the last five years because that's

212
00:09:31,180 --> 00:09:32,580
what I'm in pay attention to it.

213
00:09:32,580 --> 00:09:38,740
But the last 10 years, how much money Arizona has done back into its local economy, shows

214
00:09:38,740 --> 00:09:40,660
why we're still at the forefront, right?

215
00:09:40,660 --> 00:09:47,060
That's really us, Texas, Nevada, Florida, like those are the ones North Carolina is coming

216
00:09:47,060 --> 00:09:51,980
up, like, but we're like the cuss, like we got new business moving here still.

217
00:09:51,980 --> 00:09:53,700
Yeah, and it down, it's growing.

218
00:09:53,700 --> 00:09:55,900
Yeah, just like the last downturn.

219
00:09:55,900 --> 00:09:56,900
Yeah.

220
00:09:56,900 --> 00:09:59,860
So there's always growth.

221
00:09:59,860 --> 00:10:04,380
If you guys see me going, it's because I'm learning a lot right now.

222
00:10:04,380 --> 00:10:08,500
And before we were talking before, and I was just digging into your mind, I'm just like,

223
00:10:08,500 --> 00:10:12,700
man, I wish I knew you before I started my company because I felt like I would be 10 times bigger

224
00:10:12,700 --> 00:10:14,660
than I am now.

225
00:10:14,660 --> 00:10:18,340
And this may be a question more for me than the audience, but what is your ideal client?

226
00:10:18,340 --> 00:10:24,940
My ideal client is somebody willing to do the work and who's already done some basic

227
00:10:24,940 --> 00:10:25,940
information.

228
00:10:25,940 --> 00:10:27,660
So I think that's a wrong information.

229
00:10:27,660 --> 00:10:36,460
They already have that tool going in their head because I don't have a necessary huge client

230
00:10:36,460 --> 00:10:37,460
book.

231
00:10:37,460 --> 00:10:41,020
My goal is to win along my clients, to 30 clients, and that's all I'm working with for

232
00:10:41,020 --> 00:10:42,020
this specific business.

233
00:10:42,020 --> 00:10:47,700
And so I can still do more philanthropy and nonprofit work, or role model really

234
00:10:47,700 --> 00:10:50,940
my passion stuff is.

235
00:10:50,940 --> 00:10:55,340
So it's really, do you have, have you done your taxes?

236
00:10:55,340 --> 00:10:58,060
What's your time in business?

237
00:10:58,060 --> 00:11:03,660
What type of lending do you do, or have you had credit wise or loan wise?

238
00:11:03,660 --> 00:11:05,340
That's in your name personally.

239
00:11:05,340 --> 00:11:06,340
Yeah.

240
00:11:06,340 --> 00:11:11,580
All of these things can affect the type of money, the options that you have, your personal

241
00:11:11,580 --> 00:11:12,580
credit score.

242
00:11:12,580 --> 00:11:18,260
Like until you build out a business profile, like that's why they want you to sign a

243
00:11:18,260 --> 00:11:20,620
PG or a personal guarantee.

244
00:11:20,620 --> 00:11:21,940
Yeah, you know what I mean?

245
00:11:21,940 --> 00:11:25,580
And that doesn't help you because that's not using your AI and that's using your social

246
00:11:25,580 --> 00:11:26,940
security number.

247
00:11:26,940 --> 00:11:27,940
So you think it goes wrong?

248
00:11:27,940 --> 00:11:28,940
What happens?

249
00:11:28,940 --> 00:11:29,940
It hits you personally.

250
00:11:29,940 --> 00:11:31,580
You should really get off of using anything.

251
00:11:31,580 --> 00:11:35,900
I mean there's different tactics and things from different needs, but when you have a

252
00:11:35,900 --> 00:11:39,260
business, you should be maximizing your business capital.

253
00:11:39,260 --> 00:11:40,260
Absolutely.

254
00:11:40,260 --> 00:11:44,540
Yeah, I mean, we were talking a little bit before the show, you know, a lot of businesses,

255
00:11:44,540 --> 00:11:48,620
like me, it's like, hey, I've always heard that it takes money to make money.

256
00:11:48,620 --> 00:11:50,660
And I do believe that's sure to certain point.

257
00:11:50,660 --> 00:11:54,060
You can also make money down money, but once you want to scale, when it comes to scaling,

258
00:11:54,060 --> 00:11:58,860
you do need funds or you're going to end up using the capital that you've worked hard

259
00:11:58,860 --> 00:12:02,020
for and you're going to be risking that to those recovery, like you said earlier.

260
00:12:02,020 --> 00:12:06,100
And I think that's where a lot of bit, like I have a lot of friends who will businesses

261
00:12:06,100 --> 00:12:11,380
and I'm watching their downfall do to not be able to get capital for expansion or they

262
00:12:11,380 --> 00:12:14,380
grew too big and then they didn't have enough cash flow.

263
00:12:14,380 --> 00:12:20,300
For example, construction cash flow is keen with what I think it is for every single business.

264
00:12:20,300 --> 00:12:22,500
And it's really hard to control that cash flow.

265
00:12:22,500 --> 00:12:26,140
Just like there's people going there and sell their souls for a little bit of capital because

266
00:12:26,140 --> 00:12:27,140
they don't want to go.

267
00:12:27,140 --> 00:12:29,300
I've been there, I'm guilty of it.

268
00:12:29,300 --> 00:12:30,300
We all.

269
00:12:30,300 --> 00:12:35,340
And you know, but no, that's the, I mean, the information is just miraculous in my opinion.

270
00:12:35,340 --> 00:12:38,940
You mentioned a non-profit, you know, one of the touch-based, like elaborate on that a little bit.

271
00:12:38,940 --> 00:12:39,940
Yeah, sure.

272
00:12:39,940 --> 00:12:40,940
I'm not a profit.

273
00:12:40,940 --> 00:12:46,020
I think that's what this called bunker labs is for veteran business owners.

274
00:12:46,020 --> 00:12:47,620
Basically I'm an ambassador for that.

275
00:12:47,620 --> 00:12:51,660
So I'm a caretaker of whatever I'm local city of Phoenix, right?

276
00:12:51,660 --> 00:12:54,220
So you know, you'll usually have one or two.

277
00:12:54,220 --> 00:12:59,300
And I think we have, to just depends on the state, but we have at least one on almost every

278
00:12:59,300 --> 00:13:01,820
state, some of the, some of the solar states are combined.

279
00:13:01,820 --> 00:13:02,820
So it's a national program.

280
00:13:02,820 --> 00:13:04,860
It's been around for a while.

281
00:13:04,860 --> 00:13:08,700
I really wanted to do it before I got in.

282
00:13:08,700 --> 00:13:14,780
And before I got out of the military, but it had closed down in the area.

283
00:13:14,780 --> 00:13:17,580
I think the guy who opened up here went to go up at Seattle.

284
00:13:17,580 --> 00:13:20,460
Which gave us an opportunity to jump in and reopen it.

285
00:13:20,460 --> 00:13:27,180
So I got to do that with a body of mine for NNO who was X-Marine, X Army recruiter, and

286
00:13:27,180 --> 00:13:32,020
then Sam who was in the, the police just since she retired, helping out a nuclear force

287
00:13:32,020 --> 00:13:35,300
space doing joint contract over the course of the course of that.

288
00:13:35,300 --> 00:13:39,300
So and we were people, right?

289
00:13:39,300 --> 00:13:41,780
We were just like, hey, people need to get this information.

290
00:13:41,780 --> 00:13:44,020
Here's a nonprofit that's already doing this.

291
00:13:44,020 --> 00:13:45,660
We, you know, talk to them.

292
00:13:45,660 --> 00:13:46,660
How do we get started?

293
00:13:46,660 --> 00:13:47,980
What do you guys need for months?

294
00:13:47,980 --> 00:13:51,940
And now in profits for the most part, if they've been established more than a year, they

295
00:13:51,940 --> 00:13:54,740
have a focus and a drive for the cohort class.

296
00:13:54,740 --> 00:13:55,740
Yeah, they want.

297
00:13:55,740 --> 00:13:56,740
Yeah.

298
00:13:56,740 --> 00:13:59,580
So the one that I'm in charge of is called the VIR program.

299
00:13:59,580 --> 00:14:01,660
And then there's another one called the CEO Circle.

300
00:14:01,660 --> 00:14:05,660
The CEO Circle is in a, if you have over 100 employees, I think it's like, if you're

301
00:14:05,660 --> 00:14:09,500
making over a million dollars growth year, those numbers might have changed.

302
00:14:09,500 --> 00:14:11,460
I mean, they're always so difficult to change.

303
00:14:11,460 --> 00:14:15,700
But with the VIR, VIR program, it's every six months we have a new cohort.

304
00:14:15,700 --> 00:14:21,460
So I get about 8 to 12, 8 to 15 people who are business owners, specials in their field,

305
00:14:21,460 --> 00:14:25,800
that want to expand their market, you know, that want to grow their business or they're

306
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:26,800
ready to exit.

307
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:27,800
They don't know how.

308
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:31,100
Like they don't know, this broker's analyst, things like that that you should

309
00:14:31,100 --> 00:14:34,780
do, you know, they don't know what they're going right as for their business.

310
00:14:34,780 --> 00:14:39,860
So by learning from them, it helps me teach every other student, you know, what I know.

311
00:14:39,860 --> 00:14:44,420
And so, you know, money guy, but really it's like I learned just as much from them as they

312
00:14:44,420 --> 00:14:45,420
learned from me.

313
00:14:45,420 --> 00:14:46,420
That's fantastic.

314
00:14:46,420 --> 00:14:50,300
So it sounds like you have a lot of experience in helping businesses expand, which is kind

315
00:14:50,300 --> 00:14:51,300
of the niche, right?

316
00:14:51,300 --> 00:14:52,300
Yeah.

317
00:14:52,300 --> 00:15:00,660
What is one mistake you see business owners make on their way through expansion?

318
00:15:00,660 --> 00:15:05,300
I have a realistic plan for not what if but when.

319
00:15:05,300 --> 00:15:12,980
Okay, you know, or put in the blinders like we've all gotten like you know, you started

320
00:15:12,980 --> 00:15:16,260
business, you're working the business, you watch it grow.

321
00:15:16,260 --> 00:15:20,380
When you're in grind mode and you know, your delimit leads, might be delimit.

322
00:15:20,380 --> 00:15:21,380
That's a good idea.

323
00:15:21,380 --> 00:15:22,380
Yeah, exactly.

324
00:15:22,380 --> 00:15:26,020
You don't see, you can only delicate so much energy.

325
00:15:26,020 --> 00:15:27,020
Yep.

326
00:15:27,020 --> 00:15:29,100
So what I want to say is we're moving half.

327
00:15:29,100 --> 00:15:31,100
Take that hat off and give it to a professional.

328
00:15:31,100 --> 00:15:33,740
Take that hat off, delegate, exactly.

329
00:15:33,740 --> 00:15:35,980
That's what a lot of people really need capital for.

330
00:15:35,980 --> 00:15:39,460
Their business is fine, but they now they need marketing and things like that.

331
00:15:39,460 --> 00:15:43,260
So you have to learn how to ask for that without, you know, it just be in from

332
00:15:43,260 --> 00:15:44,260
marketing, right?

333
00:15:44,260 --> 00:15:47,500
Yeah, it's, you know, how is it going to benefit, you know, if it benefits your business

334
00:15:47,500 --> 00:15:51,460
in more areas, that opens up the options to capital that you can get so you can get

335
00:15:51,460 --> 00:15:52,460
those things.

336
00:15:52,460 --> 00:15:53,460
Yeah, it's interesting.

337
00:15:53,460 --> 00:15:57,300
You know, and we've talked about this before and some of our other podcasts, but you know,

338
00:15:57,300 --> 00:15:59,300
business owners burn themselves out.

339
00:15:59,300 --> 00:16:03,960
It's like the biggest thing in, I mean, it's the reason a lot, I mean, I feel this

340
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:08,860
statistic, I think, within 10 years, 90% of small businesses go out of business and it's, you

341
00:16:08,860 --> 00:16:12,580
know, lack of information, lack of capital and the fact that they do everything they burn

342
00:16:12,580 --> 00:16:15,980
themselves out and they don't learn how to delegate their tasks, right?

343
00:16:15,980 --> 00:16:17,580
And it was interesting.

344
00:16:17,580 --> 00:16:21,500
We were part of some coaching programs and one of the things I set with me one lesson

345
00:16:21,500 --> 00:16:26,100
was they made us, hey, right out what you're $500 in our tasks are.

346
00:16:26,100 --> 00:16:31,700
And then right out what your $10 or $10 is like, $10 or $15 a day, that goes to a person

347
00:16:31,700 --> 00:16:33,780
that needs to do that.

348
00:16:33,780 --> 00:16:36,060
These are where you bring in the most value, right?

349
00:16:36,060 --> 00:16:40,700
So do you work with any, do you have a partner, right?

350
00:16:40,700 --> 00:16:41,700
Yeah, I do.

351
00:16:41,700 --> 00:16:45,100
Okay, so do you guys have any employees in your company or just YouTube?

352
00:16:45,100 --> 00:16:46,100
Yeah, yeah, we do.

353
00:16:46,100 --> 00:16:47,100
We have agents.

354
00:16:47,100 --> 00:16:48,100
Okay.

355
00:16:48,100 --> 00:16:54,260
So how do you, like, give us a little insight on how your relationships are with the people

356
00:16:54,260 --> 00:16:56,860
that you work with and how you manage them?

357
00:16:56,860 --> 00:17:02,420
Well, because I have a luxury of being smart right now and being the field that I'm in,

358
00:17:02,420 --> 00:17:05,300
I only do business with people I know, like, and trust.

359
00:17:05,300 --> 00:17:08,500
And now I'm starting to say, no love and trust, right?

360
00:17:08,500 --> 00:17:13,700
Yeah, like, I give a lot of people grace, but you also have to protect yourself.

361
00:17:13,700 --> 00:17:16,220
Do you have the proper legal documents in place?

362
00:17:16,220 --> 00:17:17,820
Do you have an operation in group of students?

363
00:17:17,820 --> 00:17:20,060
Do those people know what they're doing?

364
00:17:20,060 --> 00:17:25,860
In the military, we have SOPs and in the infantry, I mean, you learn two jobs above you,

365
00:17:25,860 --> 00:17:28,500
because if that person gets knocked down, you need to fill that role.

366
00:17:28,500 --> 00:17:31,980
If there's no time to hit the react, it's actually media, exactly.

367
00:17:31,980 --> 00:17:36,660
And it takes a certain mindset, but anybody can learn it through discipline.

368
00:17:36,660 --> 00:17:40,220
Discipline will trump skill every day, right?

369
00:17:40,220 --> 00:17:42,140
Yeah, consistency, right?

370
00:17:42,140 --> 00:17:45,820
So you have to get it all right the first time you have to be consistent.

371
00:17:45,820 --> 00:17:48,380
So I live all, I mean, you saw my Google calendar, it's colored.

372
00:17:48,380 --> 00:17:49,380
Yeah, I did it.

373
00:17:49,380 --> 00:17:51,260
Well, you know, I have to do that.

374
00:17:51,260 --> 00:17:52,260
Yeah, exactly.

375
00:17:52,260 --> 00:17:57,900
I have to do that to know what are my $500 taskar, where am I $12 taskar?

376
00:17:57,900 --> 00:18:00,300
And what's my delegate in my CRM?

377
00:18:00,300 --> 00:18:01,700
Who's making this call?

378
00:18:01,700 --> 00:18:03,700
Do I really need to be there in person?

379
00:18:03,700 --> 00:18:04,700
Can't put this off.

380
00:18:04,700 --> 00:18:07,100
You know, can I shuffle things around?

381
00:18:07,100 --> 00:18:12,180
Now for me to be able to do that, I have to know as early as possible what my week looks

382
00:18:12,180 --> 00:18:13,180
like.

383
00:18:13,180 --> 00:18:18,940
And it works for me if I usually look at three days to four days beforehand, and we're

384
00:18:18,940 --> 00:18:23,900
going to go to the listically schedule out what that next four days is going to look like.

385
00:18:23,900 --> 00:18:26,060
And that way I know where I can add people.

386
00:18:26,060 --> 00:18:29,700
There's CRM, there's programs I can do, that stuff for you.

387
00:18:29,700 --> 00:18:32,780
But I'm a very audible visual learner.

388
00:18:32,780 --> 00:18:36,940
Like I listen to audible books, I like to take notes even if I'm going to type it up anyway.

389
00:18:36,940 --> 00:18:38,540
Because when I write it, I know I'm retained.

390
00:18:38,540 --> 00:18:39,540
Yeah, I appreciate you.

391
00:18:39,540 --> 00:18:40,540
Yeah.

392
00:18:40,540 --> 00:18:44,740
So a lot of times, I'll have like a mind map and I'll write stuff out, or I'll have several

393
00:18:44,740 --> 00:18:47,740
calendars, even in my car, Ron making notes.

394
00:18:47,740 --> 00:18:49,740
And there are four specific things.

395
00:18:49,740 --> 00:18:53,740
Like some things might be for my friends, some things might be for events, some things

396
00:18:53,740 --> 00:18:54,740
are catered to.

397
00:18:54,740 --> 00:18:58,780
This part of my business, something's catered to my nonprofit, and then something's

398
00:18:58,780 --> 00:19:01,740
catered to my other business, which doesn't take as much time.

399
00:19:01,740 --> 00:19:02,740
Yeah.

400
00:19:02,740 --> 00:19:03,740
Yeah.

401
00:19:03,740 --> 00:19:05,340
So it's just, you got to manage that.

402
00:19:05,340 --> 00:19:07,740
Then people use family and friends.

403
00:19:07,740 --> 00:19:08,740
Those are all excuses.

404
00:19:08,740 --> 00:19:10,740
You know exactly what those are like.

405
00:19:10,740 --> 00:19:11,740
Yep.

406
00:19:11,740 --> 00:19:12,740
So you can make time.

407
00:19:12,740 --> 00:19:14,740
It's what is your valuable time.

408
00:19:14,740 --> 00:19:17,740
You have to dictate what your value and time is, right?

409
00:19:17,740 --> 00:19:18,740
100%.

410
00:19:18,740 --> 00:19:24,140
Now, this next question, again, I'm just thinking of self-listening into, I mean, one, you're

411
00:19:24,140 --> 00:19:25,140
awesome dude.

412
00:19:25,140 --> 00:19:26,140
Everything you're doing is phenomenal.

413
00:19:26,140 --> 00:19:27,140
Thank you so much for letting me read.

414
00:19:27,140 --> 00:19:28,140
Thank you so much for letting me read.

415
00:19:28,140 --> 00:19:30,140
I'm so glad that you're here.

416
00:19:30,140 --> 00:19:35,140
And this next question might go beyond my imagination with how many answers are, but what

417
00:19:35,140 --> 00:19:41,140
are some, so you served in the infantry, and I did something that isn't a comparison

418
00:19:41,140 --> 00:19:43,540
at all, but I gave two years of my life to go to submission.

419
00:19:43,540 --> 00:19:48,220
And the reason I'm bringing that up is because when you go serve in the infantry, and for

420
00:19:48,220 --> 00:19:52,540
me when I serve in the mission, I know there are certain things that we learned that have helped

421
00:19:52,540 --> 00:19:58,060
us become successful in our fields that a lot of people don't, they don't go serve

422
00:19:58,060 --> 00:19:59,060
a mission.

423
00:19:59,060 --> 00:20:00,060
They don't want to alarm me.

424
00:20:00,060 --> 00:20:01,060
They're not learning those lessons.

425
00:20:01,060 --> 00:20:05,820
So what are some lessons that have helped you create what you've created that you

426
00:20:05,820 --> 00:20:09,380
may have learned in the army and were able to transfer over?

427
00:20:09,380 --> 00:20:10,380
What are some of those lessons?

428
00:20:10,380 --> 00:20:17,140
A funny thing that we love acronyms, just because it makes things a lot easier, to memorize.

429
00:20:17,140 --> 00:20:21,540
So if you talk to an email to a person, they know that acronym KISS, and it's keep it simple

430
00:20:21,540 --> 00:20:22,540
stupid.

431
00:20:22,540 --> 00:20:23,540
That's it.

432
00:20:23,540 --> 00:20:24,540
I think I've ever left before.

433
00:20:24,540 --> 00:20:31,100
So I mean, if you break that down, I'm an analyst, personality, style by trade.

434
00:20:31,100 --> 00:20:34,820
I'm a big thinker, I'm a dreamer, I like to be a creator, but I know how to turn that

435
00:20:34,820 --> 00:20:35,820
off and go to action.

436
00:20:35,820 --> 00:20:43,260
That's one right, and if you have a plan, and then it becomes about the action of executing

437
00:20:43,260 --> 00:20:47,580
that plan, those are things that the military helped teach me.

438
00:20:47,580 --> 00:20:52,740
But it wasn't anything different that I didn't learn within sports or personal relationships

439
00:20:52,740 --> 00:20:55,100
or in religion.

440
00:20:55,100 --> 00:20:59,860
I mean, there's certain orders of all of us being human if we just take a look around

441
00:20:59,860 --> 00:21:01,900
and become a reserve.

442
00:21:01,900 --> 00:21:05,780
You can get keys and points and that's the best example I could get.

443
00:21:05,780 --> 00:21:09,460
Like we had a lot of books, we retrain things.

444
00:21:09,460 --> 00:21:15,260
So even though we knew them, we still have you, all the time, the best leaders I ever

445
00:21:15,260 --> 00:21:16,260
had.

446
00:21:16,260 --> 00:21:21,300
I mean, they beat the breaks off of us with information, whether it's physically or mentally,

447
00:21:21,300 --> 00:21:22,700
but it was repeated.

448
00:21:22,700 --> 00:21:26,300
And it's like you have a basic training, right?

449
00:21:26,300 --> 00:21:29,700
Like you have to learn, all right, what's it like in the military?

450
00:21:29,700 --> 00:21:31,020
How are we supposed to line up?

451
00:21:31,020 --> 00:21:32,860
How are we supposed to wear our uniform?

452
00:21:32,860 --> 00:21:34,340
How is our day set out?

453
00:21:34,340 --> 00:21:38,340
Those things were all done for you, but you are responsible for it.

454
00:21:38,340 --> 00:21:43,580
And that could be a person that's 26, 25, like when I joined with all my friends, or

455
00:21:43,580 --> 00:21:46,340
somebody who has no life experience.

456
00:21:46,340 --> 00:21:48,740
Yeah, I'd already been in two colleges before.

457
00:21:48,740 --> 00:21:51,380
So it was like, all right, cool, I don't have to make up my day anymore.

458
00:21:51,380 --> 00:21:52,780
Yeah, I know it's going to be.

459
00:21:52,780 --> 00:21:54,260
You know, show up early.

460
00:21:54,260 --> 00:21:58,660
If you're 10 minutes, if you're not 10 minutes, or earlier late, those are principles

461
00:21:58,660 --> 00:22:03,580
that I do my utmost and having clear communications in another one.

462
00:22:03,580 --> 00:22:09,380
And that just beat my head when you say that RJ is, like, you can get away with a lot

463
00:22:09,380 --> 00:22:13,940
with saying I'm sorry, but you should never start off a conversation with them, sorry.

464
00:22:13,940 --> 00:22:18,540
Yeah, because that means you weren't responsible for something that you're sorry for, right?

465
00:22:18,540 --> 00:22:20,700
Yeah, like, and that's just my humble opinion.

466
00:22:20,700 --> 00:22:23,100
So like, you're running late.

467
00:22:23,100 --> 00:22:24,100
Don't think of excuses.

468
00:22:24,100 --> 00:22:26,340
Tell that person you're running late, don't respect you more.

469
00:22:26,340 --> 00:22:27,340
Yeah, 100%.

470
00:22:27,340 --> 00:22:28,780
Especially, you've been in a contract.

471
00:22:28,780 --> 00:22:29,780
You know that, right?

472
00:22:29,780 --> 00:22:30,780
Oh, yeah.

473
00:22:30,780 --> 00:22:32,780
You imagine bad PG's, like, everybody's seen them.

474
00:22:32,780 --> 00:22:37,620
Yeah, like, project managers that can't manage people or a timid or don't have clear

475
00:22:37,620 --> 00:22:39,260
communication.

476
00:22:39,260 --> 00:22:42,180
Somebody might be asking you something they need help in.

477
00:22:42,180 --> 00:22:46,740
And you think you related to them in a way that they understand, but you never, you never

478
00:22:46,740 --> 00:22:47,740
very bad.

479
00:22:47,740 --> 00:22:48,740
Yeah, yeah.

480
00:22:48,740 --> 00:22:52,820
Like, when we call have call signs, the guy on the other side already, he lays that

481
00:22:52,820 --> 00:22:53,820
information back to you.

482
00:22:53,820 --> 00:22:54,820
Yeah.

483
00:22:54,820 --> 00:22:58,540
When we pass information going down the tree, you know, that's what we're doing.

484
00:22:58,540 --> 00:23:03,100
We're laying that information like telephone, but you're still related to the original

485
00:23:03,100 --> 00:23:04,100
source.

486
00:23:04,100 --> 00:23:05,580
So you know it's the correct information.

487
00:23:05,580 --> 00:23:06,580
Exactly.

488
00:23:06,580 --> 00:23:07,580
Yeah, 100%.

489
00:23:07,580 --> 00:23:08,580
That's phenomenal.

490
00:23:08,580 --> 00:23:10,860
I'm learning so much.

491
00:23:10,860 --> 00:23:12,780
This is great.

492
00:23:12,780 --> 00:23:17,180
For, I actually a little bit earlier, kind of what a day in your shoes is like, I'm kind

493
00:23:17,180 --> 00:23:18,180
of curious.

494
00:23:18,180 --> 00:23:20,180
So I've read a book how to make your bed.

495
00:23:20,180 --> 00:23:21,180
I'll be a read that one.

496
00:23:21,180 --> 00:23:22,180
I've really, I've read it.

497
00:23:22,180 --> 00:23:24,420
Okay, so my wife, right, has introduced to me.

498
00:23:24,420 --> 00:23:27,420
And it's like, you know, talking about how you started your day off with a success.

499
00:23:27,420 --> 00:23:29,700
You know, not kind of sets the moment for the day.

500
00:23:29,700 --> 00:23:34,900
What do you do in your life in your day to start your day off as a success and create that momentum?

501
00:23:34,900 --> 00:23:39,580
Like I said, mentioned before, I look at what I'm doing.

502
00:23:39,580 --> 00:23:42,580
I'll take a quick glance because everything's digital now for the most part.

503
00:23:42,580 --> 00:23:43,580
Take a quick glance.

504
00:23:43,580 --> 00:23:46,180
I'll be from getting ready to get myself to sleep.

505
00:23:46,180 --> 00:23:47,660
So I know what the day is.

506
00:23:47,660 --> 00:23:52,340
So I'm waking up with an anticipation of that going to be a win.

507
00:23:52,340 --> 00:23:55,940
Sometimes, you know, we take else, you know, we have those last days before.

508
00:23:55,940 --> 00:23:57,260
And it's all on mindset.

509
00:23:57,260 --> 00:23:58,260
I'm big into mindset.

510
00:23:58,260 --> 00:24:00,700
There are a lot of personal development after the military.

511
00:24:00,700 --> 00:24:03,660
So it's all on our perception of what that's going to be.

512
00:24:03,660 --> 00:24:07,660
If you wake up, if you're going to bed saying tomorrow's going to be a good day, it's

513
00:24:07,660 --> 00:24:10,260
that much easier to wake up and make it a good day, right?

514
00:24:10,260 --> 00:24:12,260
We create good days, right?

515
00:24:12,260 --> 00:24:14,580
You know, and at the end of the day, it's just our viewpoint.

516
00:24:14,580 --> 00:24:15,580
Yeah.

517
00:24:15,580 --> 00:24:19,300
Like, if that was the less brown sense, if you're going to fall, fall in your back,

518
00:24:19,300 --> 00:24:20,940
because if you look up, you can get up.

519
00:24:20,940 --> 00:24:21,940
Yeah.

520
00:24:21,940 --> 00:24:24,700
You know, somebody will call me, you know, like an optimist all the time.

521
00:24:24,700 --> 00:24:25,700
That's not the case.

522
00:24:25,700 --> 00:24:30,300
Like, I do a lot of prep work for that day, and the very start of my day for that

523
00:24:30,300 --> 00:24:31,300
to be good.

524
00:24:31,300 --> 00:24:34,300
Well, and, you know, it comes down to attitude, right?

525
00:24:34,300 --> 00:24:35,300
Yeah.

526
00:24:35,300 --> 00:24:36,300
Your mindset.

527
00:24:36,300 --> 00:24:40,260
And I think it's such, it's so interesting, because the mindset is like, it's hard

528
00:24:40,260 --> 00:24:43,220
to control, but it's like, at the same time, it's all up to you.

529
00:24:43,220 --> 00:24:44,220
That's all it is.

530
00:24:44,220 --> 00:24:45,300
If you're a good, you'd make a decision.

531
00:24:45,300 --> 00:24:48,500
Like you're saying, if I go to bed, knowing that I'm going to wake up in a good mood, I'm

532
00:24:48,500 --> 00:24:51,300
going to get out of it, then I'm ready when I wake up to get out of it.

533
00:24:51,300 --> 00:24:52,300
I'm going to get moved, right?

534
00:24:52,300 --> 00:24:56,220
And being able to control your mindset is such a huge part no matter what business you

535
00:24:56,220 --> 00:24:59,500
guys may be running, what, you know, whether start up or even in your home life.

536
00:24:59,500 --> 00:25:03,140
I mean, this is a homework, because I mean, we've talked a lot about how to find the

537
00:25:03,140 --> 00:25:04,340
balance your home in life.

538
00:25:04,340 --> 00:25:07,460
And I think the number one thing is start off with your attitude.

539
00:25:07,460 --> 00:25:10,940
You know, you're being able to have that good mindset that you're going to be able to do

540
00:25:10,940 --> 00:25:11,940
what needs to get done.

541
00:25:11,940 --> 00:25:14,580
You're going to be able to exceed and you're going to be happy while doing it.

542
00:25:14,580 --> 00:25:15,580
You know what I mean?

543
00:25:15,580 --> 00:25:16,580
So, that's fantastic.

544
00:25:16,580 --> 00:25:21,220
I want to pick your brain about, and this might go back into the on-road a bit.

545
00:25:21,220 --> 00:25:24,740
But what is, what is one life lesson?

546
00:25:24,740 --> 00:25:30,460
If you could go back 30 years and you could be like, okay, this is a life lesson I want

547
00:25:30,460 --> 00:25:32,820
to teach myself before I begin everything.

548
00:25:32,820 --> 00:25:35,580
What is a life lesson you would teach yourself after everything you've been through

549
00:25:35,580 --> 00:25:40,660
in the army, building your companies, you know, serving the people, what is a lesson?

550
00:25:40,660 --> 00:25:46,700
A life lesson that I teach myself 30 years ago would be that you need people, but you

551
00:25:46,700 --> 00:25:47,700
don't need everyone.

552
00:25:47,700 --> 00:25:48,980
What do you mean by that?

553
00:25:48,980 --> 00:25:53,100
What I mean by that is that I'm a very people person, right?

554
00:25:53,100 --> 00:25:57,900
Like I love working in groups, I love uplifting teams, but sometimes I hide my leadership

555
00:25:57,900 --> 00:25:59,540
skills in doing that.

556
00:25:59,540 --> 00:26:05,460
And I live with my life like that until I really had to be a leader or run my own company,

557
00:26:05,460 --> 00:26:09,860
work with other companies, you know, put myself out there, run a play and give education

558
00:26:09,860 --> 00:26:11,740
to people, have people trust me.

559
00:26:11,740 --> 00:26:14,540
Like those were things I had to learn that were already in me.

560
00:26:14,540 --> 00:26:15,540
Yeah.

561
00:26:15,540 --> 00:26:21,540
Maybe it would be encouraging that because I double down just getting a bunch of information.

562
00:26:21,540 --> 00:26:24,140
And everybody knows this when you're learning, again, if you're learning something that

563
00:26:24,140 --> 00:26:26,460
you like to do it, that's the obsession.

564
00:26:26,460 --> 00:26:27,460
Yeah.

565
00:26:27,460 --> 00:26:31,180
You can get stuck in learning mode and not doing action mode.

566
00:26:31,180 --> 00:26:36,580
So I would join groups and depend on other people to do the things that I already could

567
00:26:36,580 --> 00:26:37,740
have been doing myself.

568
00:26:37,740 --> 00:26:39,780
Which probably helped me back a little bit.

569
00:26:39,780 --> 00:26:43,540
But the university gives you what you are, what you're ready for.

570
00:26:43,540 --> 00:26:45,100
I truly do believe that.

571
00:26:45,100 --> 00:26:46,100
I'm very impatient.

572
00:26:46,100 --> 00:26:47,100
I want it now.

573
00:26:47,100 --> 00:26:49,100
But I know how you feel.

574
00:26:49,100 --> 00:26:51,100
I'm, everybody knows I'm very impulsive.

575
00:26:51,100 --> 00:26:52,100
So let's play.

576
00:26:52,100 --> 00:26:53,100
Me too.

577
00:26:53,100 --> 00:26:56,100
I want to go, I want to shoot for the stars and see what happens to you.

578
00:26:56,100 --> 00:26:58,100
I mean, I said I jumped in with two feet.

579
00:26:58,100 --> 00:26:59,100
Yeah, yeah, seriously.

580
00:26:59,100 --> 00:27:01,700
And you know, I worked for some people.

581
00:27:01,700 --> 00:27:05,100
For me, like, I don't know, I know a lot of people that don't recommend like, hey,

582
00:27:05,100 --> 00:27:07,100
make sure you think about it and you take your time.

583
00:27:07,100 --> 00:27:09,100
And for me, it's just like, I want it.

584
00:27:09,100 --> 00:27:10,100
I'm going to go get it.

585
00:27:10,100 --> 00:27:12,100
And if I fell, it's just going to be turned to my lesson.

586
00:27:12,100 --> 00:27:15,300
And you mentioned about like, following your back and not in your stomach, I think that's

587
00:27:15,300 --> 00:27:16,300
a biggest thing.

588
00:27:16,300 --> 00:27:22,700
Like, if you can have that mindset that you are going to know you're going to fell and

589
00:27:22,700 --> 00:27:25,540
expect it, but you're going to get back up again.

590
00:27:25,540 --> 00:27:26,540
Everybody can do everything in the world.

591
00:27:26,540 --> 00:27:27,540
Oh, yeah.

592
00:27:27,540 --> 00:27:28,540
Oh, yeah.

593
00:27:28,540 --> 00:27:32,780
With consistency, consistency, they would accomplish everything.

594
00:27:32,780 --> 00:27:35,340
But no, that's, that's an amazing life lesson.

595
00:27:35,340 --> 00:27:40,300
I think when I look around in the world, I see a lot of people that are codependent.

596
00:27:40,300 --> 00:27:43,500
And people, you know, I'm writing a book right now.

597
00:27:43,500 --> 00:27:48,060
I'm going to name it the power chain because I feel like a lot of people are held back

598
00:27:48,060 --> 00:27:49,060
kind of like we were talking about.

599
00:27:49,060 --> 00:27:51,780
They're waiting for someone else to do something, so they can do something.

600
00:27:51,780 --> 00:27:55,380
They're waiting for something to transpire in their lives, so they can take the action

601
00:27:55,380 --> 00:27:56,380
needed.

602
00:27:56,380 --> 00:28:00,380
And all that does is kill dreams and hold people back from their true potential.

603
00:28:00,380 --> 00:28:01,380
You know what I mean?

604
00:28:01,380 --> 00:28:02,780
And it's, it's so true.

605
00:28:02,780 --> 00:28:04,380
Don't wait on everybody else.

606
00:28:04,380 --> 00:28:08,180
And, but I also agree with, you know, God puts people in our past for a reason.

607
00:28:08,180 --> 00:28:09,180
You know what I mean?

608
00:28:09,180 --> 00:28:12,020
So many wow moments to where I'm like, I've done something.

609
00:28:12,020 --> 00:28:14,740
I wasn't sure about it and then I let me hear them like, wow.

610
00:28:14,740 --> 00:28:16,860
That's why I need to do that.

611
00:28:16,860 --> 00:28:17,860
And even out of failures.

612
00:28:17,860 --> 00:28:18,860
You know what I mean?

613
00:28:18,860 --> 00:28:20,380
You mean like, you're the most fulfilling.

614
00:28:20,380 --> 00:28:21,380
What's your biggest failure?

615
00:28:21,380 --> 00:28:22,380
Kind of, serious.

616
00:28:22,380 --> 00:28:23,380
I'm big.

617
00:28:23,380 --> 00:28:24,380
I'm big.

618
00:28:24,380 --> 00:28:25,380
I'm big.

619
00:28:25,380 --> 00:28:26,380
I'm big.

620
00:28:26,380 --> 00:28:27,380
I'm not.

621
00:28:27,380 --> 00:28:29,380
I've got my mind.

622
00:28:29,380 --> 00:28:39,140
I would say my biggest failure wasn't not asking for help.

623
00:28:39,140 --> 00:28:46,180
I'm not a young age, but not encouraging myself that I can do it.

624
00:28:46,180 --> 00:28:50,780
I always knew I could do it, but I would wait, wait, procrastinate, procrastinate until I had

625
00:28:50,780 --> 00:28:55,220
to do something, whether a world was burning from me I would have done.

626
00:28:55,220 --> 00:29:00,740
And that helped me out, helped me back and gave me a lot of other issues, you know, like

627
00:29:00,740 --> 00:29:03,660
copinity, like you were talking about.

628
00:29:03,660 --> 00:29:08,140
And we're taught, like, you know, in our world in the lessons society that failing

629
00:29:08,140 --> 00:29:09,140
is bad, thought is wrong.

630
00:29:09,140 --> 00:29:11,140
No, that's completely false.

631
00:29:11,140 --> 00:29:12,140
Fail faster.

632
00:29:12,140 --> 00:29:13,140
Yeah.

633
00:29:13,140 --> 00:29:14,140
More.

634
00:29:14,140 --> 00:29:15,140
As much fail earlier.

635
00:29:15,140 --> 00:29:16,140
Yeah.

636
00:29:16,140 --> 00:29:18,140
Like as you get later, we all fail at things.

637
00:29:18,140 --> 00:29:22,740
But how we perceive that, like you said, that mindset of being able to, okay, well, that's

638
00:29:22,740 --> 00:29:24,220
the way not to do it.

639
00:29:24,220 --> 00:29:28,460
Like everybody goes back to Edison, but Tesla was a way better and thinner.

640
00:29:28,460 --> 00:29:32,980
And how many times do you think he had to do things to come up with his inventions, right?

641
00:29:32,980 --> 00:29:37,060
For people still not to remember, you know, that's why we have a Hunter and Hunter

642
00:29:37,060 --> 00:29:38,060
and things like that.

643
00:29:38,060 --> 00:29:43,820
So, it's doing it for yourself, not holding yourself back.

644
00:29:43,820 --> 00:29:49,300
And if you ask, and not just asking for help, but doing the action that's going to help

645
00:29:49,300 --> 00:29:50,300
you.

646
00:29:50,300 --> 00:29:55,220
So I know, for a fact that we also have moments where we have that voice and has, like,

647
00:29:55,220 --> 00:29:56,220
hey, man, can I do this?

648
00:29:56,220 --> 00:29:59,660
And my goal to do this, my enough, you're going to mean that.

649
00:29:59,660 --> 00:30:04,420
Especially growing a business, like people think, oh, you know, these multi-million

650
00:30:04,420 --> 00:30:07,100
of the most successful people you can think of in the world, that they don't face these

651
00:30:07,100 --> 00:30:08,780
emotions, they 100% do.

652
00:30:08,780 --> 00:30:10,980
It's my every single time.

653
00:30:10,980 --> 00:30:14,260
I think about Grant Cardone, I don't know, from the other thing, but he did a show called

654
00:30:14,260 --> 00:30:15,980
undercover billionaire.

655
00:30:15,980 --> 00:30:17,660
And it was a very hard challenge.

656
00:30:17,660 --> 00:30:18,660
I'm not going to go into it.

657
00:30:18,660 --> 00:30:23,060
But, you know, this, here's this guy, he's reputation made of millions of millions

658
00:30:23,060 --> 00:30:26,700
of dollars and, you know, he's crying and shows.

659
00:30:26,700 --> 00:30:28,860
And he's facing those emotions.

660
00:30:28,860 --> 00:30:30,220
Like, did I do this wrong?

661
00:30:30,220 --> 00:30:35,180
Did I sign, you know, my death sentence on when I joined this show, because once I felt

662
00:30:35,180 --> 00:30:38,780
or if I felt it's going to ruin my reputation, it's like, it doesn't matter how successful

663
00:30:38,780 --> 00:30:39,780
you are.

664
00:30:39,780 --> 00:30:43,100
When you're consistently trying to become a better person, doing self-development and building

665
00:30:43,100 --> 00:30:46,460
a business, as well, you're going to face those emotions.

666
00:30:46,460 --> 00:30:48,420
What do you do to get past those emotions?

667
00:30:48,420 --> 00:30:52,620
Um, if it's something that's all overbearing for me, like, that's when I get goosebumps

668
00:30:52,620 --> 00:30:55,420
from just hearing you talk about it, because that's when I know it's time for action.

669
00:30:55,420 --> 00:30:56,420
Yeah, that's not how you go.

670
00:30:56,420 --> 00:30:59,980
I mean, I've been programming my mind like this for years.

671
00:30:59,980 --> 00:31:06,820
Like, I watched my friends go through PTSD, so like, a lot of the positives and negatives

672
00:31:06,820 --> 00:31:09,580
that stuff stuck with me while I was in service.

673
00:31:09,580 --> 00:31:12,340
So when I was in service, I was reading books.

674
00:31:12,340 --> 00:31:16,620
YouTube was just getting, you know, as big as, you know, a lot bigger, you know, yeah.

675
00:31:16,620 --> 00:31:20,340
So I woke up to positive messages every day or went to bed with them.

676
00:31:20,340 --> 00:31:23,820
And I did that consistently for six years.

677
00:31:23,820 --> 00:31:29,940
I still do that, maybe not every day, but I use social media for knowledge, for networking,

678
00:31:29,940 --> 00:31:32,380
and for, you know, positive re-inverse.

679
00:31:32,380 --> 00:31:34,380
Yeah, you know what I mean?

680
00:31:34,380 --> 00:31:39,380
People say, oh, you should have, you should be, especially people come from my background.

681
00:31:39,380 --> 00:31:41,220
A people are like, you should be able to do that.

682
00:31:41,220 --> 00:31:43,380
This stoic thing is so great right now, right?

683
00:31:43,380 --> 00:31:44,380
Yeah.

684
00:31:44,380 --> 00:31:46,100
Like, just block off emotions.

685
00:31:46,100 --> 00:31:48,340
That works for you for a time period.

686
00:31:48,340 --> 00:31:49,620
That's a tool.

687
00:31:49,620 --> 00:31:51,620
You can't use a hammer for a screwdriver.

688
00:31:51,620 --> 00:31:52,620
Yeah.

689
00:31:52,620 --> 00:31:55,500
You have to be able to have multiple tools and know how to use them.

690
00:31:55,500 --> 00:31:57,700
You know, then you're sculpting, right?

691
00:31:57,700 --> 00:31:59,500
Not only you're perfecting your mindset.

692
00:31:59,500 --> 00:32:00,500
Well, and that's mind-belie.

693
00:32:00,500 --> 00:32:01,500
That's what I work.

694
00:32:01,500 --> 00:32:02,500
No, yeah.

695
00:32:02,500 --> 00:32:03,500
And I ask for a house.

696
00:32:03,500 --> 00:32:05,500
I got friends that don't public speak right there.

697
00:32:05,500 --> 00:32:06,500
Yeah, I get coaches.

698
00:32:06,500 --> 00:32:11,900
I mean, mentor programs are spent tens of thousands of dollars being coach.

699
00:32:11,900 --> 00:32:16,580
But some of my best lessons have been with big stars because nobody else raised their

700
00:32:16,580 --> 00:32:17,580
hand.

701
00:32:17,580 --> 00:32:18,580
Yeah.

702
00:32:18,580 --> 00:32:19,580
I want to book sign with David Johnny.

703
00:32:19,580 --> 00:32:20,580
He's like, all right.

704
00:32:20,580 --> 00:32:25,220
All you have to do is sign up on your phones and, you know, the first, you know, 12 people

705
00:32:25,220 --> 00:32:26,220
that sign up.

706
00:32:26,220 --> 00:32:29,460
I'll come back and listen to your pictures or give you business advice.

707
00:32:29,460 --> 00:32:30,460
You know, people sign value.

708
00:32:30,460 --> 00:32:31,460
That's it.

709
00:32:31,460 --> 00:32:32,460
That's it.

710
00:32:32,460 --> 00:32:33,460
People sign up.

711
00:32:33,460 --> 00:32:34,460
I got to spit out.

712
00:32:34,460 --> 00:32:35,460
He extended his time.

713
00:32:35,460 --> 00:32:39,460
And I got to talk to him about the one that I thought my friends are doing wrong and

714
00:32:39,460 --> 00:32:40,460
real estate.

715
00:32:40,460 --> 00:32:43,100
What I think we could be doing with the markets going to do.

716
00:32:43,100 --> 00:32:48,260
My idea for different things and like to have somebody's time like that, treat people's

717
00:32:48,260 --> 00:32:49,260
time with respect.

718
00:32:49,260 --> 00:32:50,260
Oh, yeah.

719
00:32:50,260 --> 00:32:53,300
Especially the ones that you care about and you know, because those are the ones we

720
00:32:53,300 --> 00:32:54,300
don't respect them.

721
00:32:54,300 --> 00:32:55,300
Yeah.

722
00:32:55,300 --> 00:32:56,300
Yeah.

723
00:32:56,300 --> 00:32:59,500
So, you know, you brought up help and being able to ask for help.

724
00:32:59,500 --> 00:33:04,500
I think in today's society, now I take pride in being a man.

725
00:33:04,500 --> 00:33:10,380
Like one of my passions that goes to beyond entrepreneurship and is being a protector, provider

726
00:33:10,380 --> 00:33:12,140
for the people that I love.

727
00:33:12,140 --> 00:33:14,140
I'm a dad and I have a couple girls and so far.

728
00:33:14,140 --> 00:33:17,580
That's like, yeah, it's, that's my passion.

729
00:33:17,580 --> 00:33:22,380
I mean, and in this day and age, you know, a lot of men put on a face like, hey, like

730
00:33:22,380 --> 00:33:24,060
you're a time like no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

731
00:33:24,060 --> 00:33:27,280
no, no, no, not a lot of my emotions off I can do that all the time work.

732
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,780
And I had a couple hardships growing up.

733
00:33:29,780 --> 00:33:35,540
And it really, it did really, none of me in like, Так of all of me in more hard

734
00:33:35,540 --> 00:33:37,420
hard because of it.

735
00:33:37,420 --> 00:33:42,820
But there's a Bible story and man, I have wollten a little bit.

736
00:33:42,820 --> 00:33:49,800
But I don't know if who was James John Peter,iformserie of Lenron presque and

737
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:50,800
he talked to me.

738
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:54,860
So he starts walking, he takes four or five steps, everything is good, he looks around,

739
00:33:54,860 --> 00:33:56,680
he's all the waves and then starts drowning.

740
00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:01,040
But if I'm interesting about this story is that when it talks about it, it didn't say,

741
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:06,480
but as he was starting or like right when he knew he was going to start drowning, he asked

742
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:07,480
for help.

743
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:11,800
It was when he was down under that he asked for help.

744
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,440
And it's like, how long do we actually wait to ask for help?

745
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:19,440
Whether it's from mentors, peers, and I'm not talking about code dependency relying on people

746
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:20,440
to see what's up for you.

747
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:25,760
But yeah, but it's actually having the guts to be like, hey, I need help here, who can

748
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:26,760
I go?

749
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:30,320
And that is another thing that I really feel, I mean, it's helped me back before my life.

750
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:34,160
And I think it helps a whole other people back is not understanding that it's okay.

751
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:39,360
It's okay to go to people, go to find people that have done bigger than you better than you.

752
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:43,240
And go ask what they've done, just like you were talking about, like getting that guy's

753
00:34:43,240 --> 00:34:45,520
time, I can't believe four people signed up for it.

754
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:46,520
That's it.

755
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:47,520
That's it.

756
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,720
Over that, like, how valuable is that time?

757
00:34:50,720 --> 00:34:54,000
You know, like, anyways, that's that's an amazing thing.

758
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,240
It's like you said, it's when, when are we asking for help?

759
00:34:57,240 --> 00:35:01,280
Yeah, I'll put it on that face, be in that middle, be in that mask.

760
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,120
It's nothing wrong with that.

761
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,280
But the Bible also says, and it's crazy.

762
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:11,280
Ask you to believe that it's sort of says it's time, what is it?

763
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:12,880
Not, it wouldn't forget it.

764
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:17,480
It's basically going over talking about there's a time in place for everything.

765
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:18,480
Right.

766
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:24,160
So like, sometimes men, like, if you go back to prehistoric things, I get this from

767
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:28,320
this book called Understanding the Women, any of my fellows out there, if you want to

768
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:32,840
understand yourself and communicate with them, it's the best book I've ever read.

769
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:33,840
I think we also do.

770
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:34,840
100%.

771
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:36,840
Let's go from get it to you.

772
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:38,320
I hope you read.

773
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:44,320
The long story short, it goes into talking about how we became heard animals and why we

774
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:45,960
communicate the way that we do.

775
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,920
Interesting, men have a work pack animals.

776
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:50,080
Women are not.

777
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,440
That's why men ask for loyalty.

778
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:56,560
And she breaks this down better and do a better explanation of this.

779
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:58,520
The women switch up fronts like that, right?

780
00:35:58,520 --> 00:35:59,520
Yeah, they do have that.

781
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:03,840
If you know, like the long, it's nothing that they can't, but the majority that they've

782
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,480
tested, we operate different things.

783
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:10,280
If you look at the book, men are from Mars, women are from Venus.

784
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:11,280
Yeah, yeah.

785
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:14,720
There's differences between us and our mentality.

786
00:36:14,720 --> 00:36:24,320
And being able to ask for help, sometimes you need that working person, that working brother,

787
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:31,320
that spiritual leader, that mentor, that can understand you and what you're really asking,

788
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:33,840
because sometimes we don't know what we're asking for, right?

789
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:38,200
We sound like we're waving the flag, but it might not be coming out the right exactly.

790
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,720
So you might need somebody who understands you.

791
00:36:40,720 --> 00:36:44,800
Or the bias of people understand you need somebody completely different to hear you out and

792
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:46,800
give you an outside opinion.

793
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:47,800
Yeah.

794
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:52,360
But you are not stuff by growing and gaining experience yourself in my opinion.

795
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:57,160
You got to learn like, hey, if I'm filling down and mulled, like, what am I going to do?

796
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:58,800
What's my plan to fix this?

797
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:03,280
The fastest thing to change is your feelings is doing something physical, right?

798
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:05,360
The hardest thing for me personally, you do.

799
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:10,040
It's just to put on blinders, turn off my own spine and start meditating.

800
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:11,040
It's not from work for me.

801
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:15,820
I have to beat myself down, I didn't pre-programmed to do that over the years, to wear

802
00:37:15,820 --> 00:37:18,680
myself down so I can calm my brain down.

803
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:21,160
And then I can, you know, refocus and wear them at.

804
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:25,840
And then I can start listening to things, you know, yeah, I've got to support me, people

805
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:27,680
who are going to support me.

806
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:28,680
What are my best friends?

807
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:31,880
I mean, he's the biggest, a holiday like you'll ever meet.

808
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:35,680
But he always tells me directly, you know, things I don't want to hear, but I need to hear.

809
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:36,680
Love those guys.

810
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:37,680
I need to have those guys.

811
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:38,680
Yeah.

812
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:39,680
And Mike, he's one of those guys from me.

813
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:40,680
Awesome.

814
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:41,680
I can see that.

815
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:43,680
Yeah, I'm just kidding.

816
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:50,040
So my next question is, so you know, you mentioned your amount of faith, right?

817
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,120
You know, by the way, we've talked about a little bit.

818
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:57,680
So how has faith affected when you certainly are me as well as you've built your businesses

819
00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,280
and become whom you are today?

820
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:01,280
Well, that was, that's a very good question.

821
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:04,320
I'm not the norm I would say.

822
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:09,120
The religion house brought up in, date and acknowledge a lot of government and definitely

823
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:16,160
not war, but I knew, like, I'm a third generation military kid.

824
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:23,120
Like so, it was something of a duty that I knew I would be good at and knew what I was

825
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:27,200
going to do in there and it was always a chapter, not the book.

826
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:32,560
So, meaning God have a funny relationship at times.

827
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:34,880
You know, I still hold a lot of resentment towards God.

828
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:38,480
I've seen a lot of, I get a lot of worthyness stuff from losing.

829
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:40,240
So many amazing people.

830
00:38:40,240 --> 00:38:46,640
Like I talked before we were on, like my best friend died six months after I got home,

831
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:49,880
and I was working with him to learn medical sales.

832
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:54,040
So I didn't really get to deal with my PTSD until after that.

833
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:58,000
You know, I stayed with his two-year-old son and his girlfriend for about two and a half

834
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,280
more years in an area that I don't know.

835
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:03,360
A lot of people I didn't know, but it helped me grow as a person.

836
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:09,760
God gave me that. I like to say every blessing comes from God in the universe.

837
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:16,960
And the only real devil is the, you know, the wolf within ourselves, right?

838
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,920
Like in the Bible and many different other religions.

839
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,400
You see a lot of Arabic friends, Jewish friends as well.

840
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:24,400
Boo-is.

841
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:27,440
And every and every text, you go back and says,

842
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:37,440
God made us in his image, right? So without them the relation of different interpretations of religion.

843
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:39,840
And this is all my own opinion.

844
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,960
I think that God gave us everything that we need,

845
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:46,160
but we're also getting a lot from the universe as well, right?

846
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:51,680
Like we have to understand who we are to really get that power for ourselves.

847
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:54,480
Like you're brain is so powerful.

848
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:58,480
And I can literally say this, working with neural scientists, you know, working with neural surgeons

849
00:39:58,480 --> 00:39:59,680
and watching the things they do.

850
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:04,880
I watched one of the tools I used to sell was a fair one that I'd want.

851
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:08,160
So it could heat it up like using magnets.

852
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:09,280
Oh, that one, right?

853
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,120
And they would use this as a resection tool.

854
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:14,880
So you would do this to dig out bad or dead skin and things like that.

855
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:19,360
Well, neural searches would use it on brain, moving tumors, cancers.

856
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,280
And I say that to say this.

857
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:27,440
I see people freak out and have a bad time after getting that small cancer removed.

858
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:31,840
That might be as big as a thumbnail and have palms and things like that.

859
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:36,000
But I can't say for sure, but a lot of it, I think, was self-imposed.

860
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:39,840
Like because I'm in the hospital, all these things are going to be bad afterwards.

861
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:41,440
I'm never going to be the same.

862
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:42,480
Adds up to that.

863
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:44,000
What we believe is true.

864
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:44,720
Yeah.

865
00:40:44,720 --> 00:40:45,200
Yeah.

866
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:50,400
You know, so we have to believe that we're all here for purpose.

867
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:56,640
And that God of the universe or whatever you believe in, that is there to support you.

868
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:57,640
Right?

869
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:02,080
And if you're acting at your best in wanting the most from other people, the more support

870
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:03,080
you're going to feel.

871
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:06,520
Whatever, I feel real bad and real down.

872
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:09,600
And I don't feel like I can break through.

873
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,320
One of my action things is to go donate my time.

874
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:13,600
And it doesn't matter what.

875
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:19,040
It could be a 5KB helping out, set up stuff with my, well, my friends taught soccer or

876
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:20,760
soccer kids and things like that.

877
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:25,660
That helped me through so many bad times, really in the Scripture, not really in the Scripture,

878
00:41:25,660 --> 00:41:27,400
reading, conflicting things.

879
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:28,400
Yeah.

880
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:30,880
You know, I mean, so I could get a more raw, wrong and viewpoint.

881
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,720
So I could solidify the look through eye feel as right.

882
00:41:33,720 --> 00:41:36,520
You know, where am I acting at my best?

883
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:40,960
Where am I getting my most successful repeatable things?

884
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:42,160
Not on the whim, right?

885
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:43,160
Yeah.

886
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,800
I love that you're saying that.

887
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:51,040
So in whether you read self development books, you know, business entrepreneur books or

888
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:57,400
the Bible, the Scriptures, we all know that and some people will consider like good

889
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:58,400
karma for example.

890
00:41:58,400 --> 00:41:59,400
Yeah.

891
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,520
So like whatever you put out there, you're going to get back.

892
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:06,520
And you know, when I went, when I left on my mission, I was in two years of service

893
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:10,320
and other people like, oh, consistently helping other people, whether how to do with

894
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:13,320
religion or it was service cleaning out some old lady's gutters.

895
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:18,600
Like, I was the most happy of the amount of my life because I wasn't focused on me.

896
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:19,840
You know what I mean?

897
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:24,840
And I think that is a very important lesson to be learned, whether it's in your

898
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:29,280
home like in your business life, that the more you can go out and give, better, more,

899
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:33,120
whether you have a lot or a little, you're going to be happy, which is going to lead

900
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:34,280
you to even more success.

901
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:39,000
I remember like, when I first came back from South America, I had met my wife, we had

902
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:43,000
gone married, I was bringing home like 800,000 dollars a week doing landscape services.

903
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:48,520
I was actually supposed to go to a business college, I went to Utah, some friends, and

904
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:52,440
I had this feeling of this impression, then I need to go home and how my family I came

905
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:58,440
back, found out my mom was just horribly addicted to drugs and I put it through, you know,

906
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:01,840
we have in all these things and ultimately letting you to my wife as well.

907
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,240
And I'm being very grateful for that.

908
00:43:04,240 --> 00:43:05,960
And you'll see that at the time.

909
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:06,960
Exactly.

910
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:07,960
You're just like, go.

911
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:09,920
The house is out of fire and I need more buckets.

912
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:10,920
Yeah.

913
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:11,920
Yeah.

914
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:15,000
We're at how it works out because I'm like, oh, my whole plan's got up and flamed.

915
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:18,120
You know, like, I don't know what they do now, but I need to go do this.

916
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:22,000
And now I could imagine my life without having done that, you know.

917
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:28,000
And, but I think one of the biggest things is that, you know, I look, I look back then,

918
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,520
when I was going through all that.

919
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:33,120
And I feel like my life was in more of a chaos back then.

920
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:34,960
Rather now, I'm more established.

921
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:36,800
I have a family, I know who I am.

922
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:38,200
I have my head and my shoulders.

923
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:39,600
I've built a business.

924
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:43,040
You know, I've had more money now than I did back then.

925
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:47,200
But a few months back, and I don't know how many of these specific, but earlier this year,

926
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:48,600
I would feel like crappy.

927
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:52,360
I'm like, why don't I feel so unhappy right now?

928
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:54,720
Like, I'm where I want to be.

929
00:43:54,720 --> 00:43:58,120
I'm not completely, but I'm further along that path.

930
00:43:58,120 --> 00:43:59,680
You know, I have the things that I want.

931
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:02,640
Why am I more unhappy now than I was back then?

932
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:06,360
The key to that is helping other people and servicing other people.

933
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:09,560
And you know, all these business books that I reeks are really big nerd.

934
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:11,320
I'm just kind of busy to fellow me and stuff like that.

935
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:14,560
And they always talk about like, which shows how people get you.

936
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:16,400
You know, it's go help people.

937
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:20,240
The more you don't do stuff and inspect something or turn just do it out of love.

938
00:44:20,240 --> 00:44:24,520
And the world, the way the universe, the way God works, is that it all comes back.

939
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:27,280
And I think that is just that it would be for me and the less an

940
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:28,960
I can go back to teach myself as I do.

941
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:30,560
Just focus on other people.

942
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:32,360
Don't focus on yourself.

943
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:33,360
Focus on other people.

944
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:34,560
Everything will come into place.

945
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:35,960
And that's just phenomenal.

946
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:39,520
So yeah, I mean, it's, I really believe in a win-win mentality.

947
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:40,520
Right?

948
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:41,520
Or win-win equals a win?

949
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:42,520
Yeah.

950
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:46,480
So like, with that, you also have to remember this time.

951
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:49,840
There is a good focus on yourself too.

952
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:53,760
But you had that intuition, you know, like, I know I need to be there for my family.

953
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:55,600
I did the same thing back then.

954
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:59,760
And North Carolina, like I thought that was where my life was going to be after the military.

955
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:00,760
I had no idea.

956
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:02,400
I was going to get in the real estate.

957
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:06,400
I learned I got to be this person the last 10 years because of that decision to come

958
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:09,480
back home and thinking and having that knowing.

959
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:10,480
And I need to be there.

960
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:12,480
I wasn't sure yet.

961
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:17,160
But it's like, you said, like, God, the universe, everything puts us where we need to

962
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:18,160
be.

963
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:19,880
And if we look action up.

964
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:20,880
Yeah.

965
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:24,160
There's no way out on the Bible or God gave you something for free.

966
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:25,160
Yeah.

967
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:27,160
You all had to do something.

968
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:29,560
And or there was a contingency towards it, right?

969
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:30,560
There was an action.

970
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:32,160
There was just something, right?

971
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:37,680
You know, like, it's just funny how the world works like that.

972
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:42,320
The Japanese have different sayings for talking about knowing your, your, your, your

973
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:46,760
eat gay, like knowing your purpose, you know, knowing what you wake up for and what you're

974
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:51,680
going to sleep for and what it is and family and health and the better society.

975
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:54,480
Like we have all these things that are recoorge-attained.

976
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:58,200
Like the Quran has different things like that of Havanaian boson sisters.

977
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:02,680
So like if you go and look at these different texts and all talks about taking action,

978
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:03,680
right?

979
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:05,680
And living a hand.

980
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:10,440
And I mean, if you look at like, just use a reference, you look at the Bible and Jesus,

981
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:12,960
you talk about Mary and you know what I mean?

982
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:17,480
Like, each talking about the women that he is so ashamed of men, they're so

983
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:18,480
afraid.

984
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:19,960
Like Paul's name was Saul before.

985
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:20,960
He was a murder.

986
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:24,760
He killed Christians before, you know, before he became a Christian.

987
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:28,200
And I mean, so I mean, there was forgiveness after that.

988
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:29,200
Yeah.

989
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:32,680
You know, like if you believe in Jesus, there was change, right?

990
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:33,680
Yeah.

991
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:34,680
Show.

992
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:36,000
Or has that.

993
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:39,560
And you can pull that out of yourself where you might not know that you've been

994
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:41,720
like that for other people.

995
00:46:41,720 --> 00:46:43,120
But you won't know unless you ask, right?

996
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:44,120
Exactly.

997
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:47,160
Like what's wrong with asking like, hey, we had a lot.

998
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:51,240
If there's anything that you really need, you know, it's always good to hear that, right?

999
00:46:51,240 --> 00:46:52,240
Yeah.

1000
00:46:52,240 --> 00:46:53,600
And that takes a big person to say that.

1001
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:54,600
Yeah.

1002
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:58,520
But when do we go and say, hey, you know what I'm messing up, can you make sure that you

1003
00:46:58,520 --> 00:46:59,520
call me on this?

1004
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:00,520
Yeah.

1005
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:01,520
Or I'm worried about this.

1006
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:02,680
Or I'm working on this plan.

1007
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:04,520
Can you help support me on that?

1008
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:05,520
Yeah.

1009
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:06,680
That's from on my mind.

1010
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:09,520
I think that's like, I had to have a meeting with our team.

1011
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:14,240
Or I brought it up a few times because it's like, you know, as a leader or as someone who's

1012
00:47:14,240 --> 00:47:19,000
in a position of leadership, you know, you're constantly trying to help other people get

1013
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:20,000
better.

1014
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:21,400
And a lot of times that leader gets left out.

1015
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:25,680
Like, people are like, oh, I don't want to let them tell my boss, do you suck at

1016
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:26,680
this?

1017
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:27,680
You know, like people get afraid.

1018
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:32,720
And it's also hard to realize how to open up that doorway to allow people to do that.

1019
00:47:32,720 --> 00:47:37,840
But you know, sometimes people get lost and they're not able to receive that criticism,

1020
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:39,320
which is healthy, right?

1021
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:40,320
Yeah.

1022
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:43,440
And anyways, you know, that I was just thinking about that because like, I was a little

1023
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:47,120
while I was like, man, I just, I know I'm messing up that stuff, but nobody's telling

1024
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:48,120
me what I'm messing up on.

1025
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:50,120
You know, that's why I've been on this.

1026
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:55,200
And that's because you're in your head and you're not asking for you.

1027
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:56,200
You're not clear.

1028
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:57,200
You're not being yes.

1029
00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:58,200
Yeah.

1030
00:47:58,200 --> 00:47:59,200
How can somebody else be clear, right?

1031
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:01,200
Like, it's so easy to see on the outside end.

1032
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:02,680
But yeah, we're going through it.

1033
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:03,680
You're in that emotion.

1034
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:04,680
You're worried about that.

1035
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:05,680
Yeah.

1036
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:09,480
You know, like, I would always ask for things that I didn't need.

1037
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:12,480
But really, I should have been asking, I shouldn't shift myself.

1038
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:16,480
But I mean, really, it was, I'd be able to ask something else and I was too afraid to

1039
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:17,480
ask.

1040
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:18,480
Yeah.

1041
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:22,320
So I had a really good mentors and good people around me with more experience than me

1042
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:27,360
that I could open up and be vulnerable to that I didn't care how else coming off.

1043
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:28,360
Yeah.

1044
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:30,120
And it's like, they accept me a certain way.

1045
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:32,360
I can get that real judgment now.

1046
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:33,360
Yeah.

1047
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:36,360
And Army really helped me cal us up like that.

1048
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:39,840
Like, my sergeant like, my call sign was Taliban.

1049
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:44,000
Like my last thing turned like, you want to go walk into a childhood where you go and

1050
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:48,560
eat your lunch dinner and breakfast and a foreign country with your peers and

1051
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:52,400
superiors fighting the Taliban and someone else out.

1052
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:53,560
Words Taliban, right?

1053
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:55,400
Like there's a lot of tough skin.

1054
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:56,400
I had to get doing it.

1055
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:58,920
I'd be called everything in the book, right?

1056
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:00,600
And now it's just for that job.

1057
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:06,600
And that mean that I see that to say that it doesn't matter how it comes out.

1058
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:07,600
It's in delivery.

1059
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:08,600
Yeah.

1060
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:09,600
Are you getting the message across?

1061
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:12,480
Are you communicating your needs and what you want?

1062
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:15,040
You mentioned that a couple of times about me and specific.

1063
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:19,080
There's, it's really interesting and I'll go back into some of the faith part of Little

1064
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:20,080
Bay.

1065
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:25,560
It's like, I've had a, you know, in our church itself, we give talks like the congregation

1066
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:27,960
people get called once we eat to give talks in church.

1067
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:31,400
So, I'm going to talk on a few times in specific prayer.

1068
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:35,000
And I think that goes even further into our lives.

1069
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:40,880
If you guys are not specific or if we're not specific, what we're asking for, we're not

1070
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:44,040
communicating, you're not going to get through it outcome.

1071
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:47,240
And you know, I've noticed like, when I pray, if I'm asking like, hey, I hope that, you

1072
00:49:47,240 --> 00:49:51,880
know, I can have good health or every kind of health or when I'm more specific, my answers

1073
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:53,040
are more specific, right?

1074
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:57,880
So, if you're more specific, what you're going to expect a more specific response

1075
00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:00,560
backwards rather if you're vague, you can expect a big response.

1076
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:01,560
You know, 100%.

1077
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:03,560
And that's all you get.

1078
00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:09,400
That's why, like some mentors are telling what force to me to get out of that, you know,

1079
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:12,880
really all have blockages, yeah, you know, how can you get fusion?

1080
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:16,720
Really, that unclarity is a way for your mind to hide.

1081
00:50:16,720 --> 00:50:19,120
You know, it's a defensive mechanism.

1082
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:20,120
Yes.

1083
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:21,120
Really, we know we want.

1084
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:23,520
We feel even if we can't express it.

1085
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:26,640
Like our body of soul, everything knows what it means.

1086
00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:27,640
Yeah.

1087
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:31,400
And as soon as we're clear on that, how easy does the world just part its ways on your

1088
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:32,400
way for it?

1089
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:33,400
Yeah.

1090
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:34,400
Like, to us, it could scare you.

1091
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:38,280
Like, I've had blessings where I sat back and I was like, I'm not ready for that.

1092
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:40,680
You think I had good people who saw more of me.

1093
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:42,480
Like, no, no, no, go do that.

1094
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:43,480
Yeah.

1095
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:44,480
Go do that.

1096
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:45,480
This is why you need to do that.

1097
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:49,120
Who are you letting out by not showing up and you know, like, for yourself?

1098
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:51,960
Like, it's something I work on pray about.

1099
00:50:51,960 --> 00:51:00,360
I do a lot of mental gymnastics with coaches because I have a pretend, worthyness complex

1100
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:02,160
through and through.

1101
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:06,040
And I can guess some ways where it comes back.

1102
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:10,440
I'm re-internet rates and I'll let it into my life, but I don't let it control me.

1103
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:11,440
Right.

1104
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:15,320
And I think that's the happens in anybody that's having some sort of success, right?

1105
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:16,320
Yeah.

1106
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:18,320
Because you work so hard to get there.

1107
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:20,320
But I'm going to realize that it's going to be a good journey.

1108
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:21,320
Yeah.

1109
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:22,320
It's like that.

1110
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:24,840
You guys know, you're building a commercial building or a house.

1111
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:28,800
Like you got to have a foundation before you start framing exactly.

1112
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:31,040
And you can't throw a wall, you know, drywall.

1113
00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:32,840
Yeah, I've seen it done without a foundation.

1114
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:34,840
Yeah, I've done it very well.

1115
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:35,840
Yeah.

1116
00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:36,840
You will have the same success.

1117
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:37,840
It's right.

1118
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:38,840
Yeah, 100%.

1119
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:43,280
My, my, I'm a really close personal friend and I call him mentor too.

1120
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:46,400
That he always says, can he gets this from his mentor?

1121
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:49,280
Your roots produce your fruits.

1122
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:55,120
So what year is that's a good pudding and what year consistently like in down on what

1123
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:57,720
you're being clear about what you're moving towards?

1124
00:51:57,720 --> 00:51:58,720
Yeah.

1125
00:51:58,720 --> 00:52:00,600
You know, that's where we get those juicy fruits.

1126
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:02,000
And fruit doesn't come overnight.

1127
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:03,000
Yep.

1128
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:06,720
It takes time to ensure even after it's plugged sometimes it still needs to mature, right?

1129
00:52:06,720 --> 00:52:07,720
Yeah.

1130
00:52:07,720 --> 00:52:08,720
That's what we are.

1131
00:52:08,720 --> 00:52:10,360
We're constantly maturing.

1132
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:15,960
And that means that our wants and needs and beliefs change as we grow.

1133
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:17,360
If not, you're not grown.

1134
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:18,360
Yeah.

1135
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:19,360
So you're going to grow through decay.

1136
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:21,080
There's no stand still.

1137
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:25,920
And kind of this relaxing touch on by like kind of another part of that.

1138
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:30,840
Like when we ask for criticism or when you guys, this business or ask for criticism, you

1139
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:34,360
want to make sure you can take in what you can handle and actually implement.

1140
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:38,800
So what he talked about like letting your guard down, being able to accept it, have tough

1141
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:41,800
skin and realize, okay, hey, you may not be good at this, but that's the only way you're

1142
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:42,800
going to be better.

1143
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:46,320
But at the same time, like, and I'm talking about experience at this moment, because

1144
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:50,480
I've been doing a lot of coaching programs, a lot of self development programs, and

1145
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:51,480
stuff like that.

1146
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:55,480
And I've invested more in ourselves than anything else at this time.

1147
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:56,480
That's great.

1148
00:52:56,480 --> 00:52:57,480
Yeah.

1149
00:52:57,480 --> 00:53:00,240
And one of the biggest thing I'm really like, oh my gosh, I have all this information

1150
00:53:00,240 --> 00:53:03,880
from this guy, this guy, this guy, this guy, this guy, I'm like, okay, I'm like, I have

1151
00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:08,400
too much information and I need to slow down and I need to start implementing and actually

1152
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:13,240
in taking it rather than just because we can all go get a ton of information online.

1153
00:53:13,240 --> 00:53:14,240
You can pull books.

1154
00:53:14,240 --> 00:53:15,240
You can do this.

1155
00:53:15,240 --> 00:53:17,280
You're going to be a little bit more difficult than you want, but if you're not retaining

1156
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:21,360
an actually applying and taking action, it's not going to get you anywhere.

1157
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:22,600
You can have all the information in the world.

1158
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:25,640
You can know exactly how to be a billionaire, but if you don't put it to use, you're never

1159
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:27,120
going to be a billionaire, right?

1160
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:32,480
And so I think it's really important to also know that that, for me, when I started getting

1161
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:36,120
into self development, I was going all out, I was getting all these books reading and

1162
00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:41,080
thinking like two books at a time, and then I realized, okay, I got to slow down and

1163
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:42,480
actually, you got to apply this stuff.

1164
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:46,360
Make sure you guys realize that as you're growing in your self life, you know, your personal

1165
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:50,520
life, your business life, that information is good, but don't overload it because then

1166
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:53,520
you're not going to implement it and then it does you know good with so ever, right?

1167
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:57,840
And you're saying, so I have a, when I moved into, I have a rental problem that just moved

1168
00:53:57,840 --> 00:53:59,840
into and they have fruit trees.

1169
00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:01,800
And I was like, I'll see you all at some amount of bunch of fruit.

1170
00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:06,200
Well, the first time the fruit grew, they were small and I mean, from peaches, all this kind

1171
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:09,640
of stuff, like I didn't get any good fruit because there was so much on there.

1172
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:11,720
So then I learned, okay, I got to prune a little back.

1173
00:54:11,720 --> 00:54:15,760
I got to shake the tree, get all them down so the ones that do seem to grow big, they

1174
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:17,120
grow juicy and I'm like, you're just-

1175
00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:18,120
You're just-

1176
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:19,120
You're the ones I want, right?

1177
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:23,800
And so that, yeah, I just put two, two together and like, okay, hey, yes, we need to slow

1178
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:26,840
down a little bit when you need to be able to take what we can handle and permit it, then

1179
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:27,840
move on to the next piece.

1180
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:32,640
Yeah, and sometimes it's after implementation, you have to redo the process.

1181
00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:34,040
Yeah, yeah, start.

1182
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:35,040
I have over it.

1183
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:40,920
When I was in that mode of just information dumping, like, and getting like that, that's all

1184
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:44,000
I was doing because that's all I knew at that moment, right?

1185
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:45,000
Right.

1186
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:46,960
And I was too scared to really take mass of action.

1187
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:48,560
I take a little bit of action.

1188
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:51,600
That's why my first business is called a mass of purpose.

1189
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:57,120
Because I went to a speaking gig in LA and another guy who was getting a movie made

1190
00:54:57,120 --> 00:55:00,760
a bomb and his whole personal journey, like it was such a crazy experience.

1191
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:06,400
We stayed up talking and opposite rooms and he's like, no, that's what you do though.

1192
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:07,960
You're taking mass of action.

1193
00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:08,960
That's your real purpose.

1194
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:12,080
I was like, yeah, I want to have my name for a company, me personally.

1195
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:13,080
He's like, that's what it is.

1196
00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:14,080
It's mass of purpose.

1197
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:16,640
And so funny, and I live that.

1198
00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:21,160
And he was the one that told me, artists call you, you've read 100 and something

1199
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:22,160
books.

1200
00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:23,160
How many of them can you quote?

1201
00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:24,160
How many of them?

1202
00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:25,160
How many have you read?

1203
00:55:25,160 --> 00:55:28,840
Like what's more important is how well you know the information.

1204
00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:29,840
Yeah.

1205
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:34,840
So reread a book, take a year to reread a book, a set of reading all these books again.

1206
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:35,840
Yeah.

1207
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:36,840
New stuff comes out.

1208
00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:37,840
Look at the information.

1209
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:39,720
Just say there's nothing new under the sun.

1210
00:55:39,720 --> 00:55:41,520
It's just just shown differently.

1211
00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:42,520
Yeah.

1212
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:45,720
And it's kind of funny because as I started reading all these books, I've told my team,

1213
00:55:45,720 --> 00:55:47,920
I'm like, guys, these are universal laws.

1214
00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:51,200
Like, the laws have success in personal and work life.

1215
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:51,880
They're universal.

1216
00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:54,880
They've been used for hundreds of thousands of years.

1217
00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:55,720
What if you want to call it?

1218
00:55:55,720 --> 00:55:56,880
And they're the same.

1219
00:55:56,880 --> 00:55:58,160
They just been implemented a little differently.

1220
00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:00,320
They may have been adaptable a bit different to society.

1221
00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:02,120
Technology where the kids are pretty sure they're the same.

1222
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:03,120
They're the same.

1223
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:04,120
There's nothing new under the sun.

1224
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:05,120
It's a perfect way to put it.

1225
00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:06,120
So fantastic.
