Rock Thomas now spends his time helping others achieve whole life, wealth and massive accessory events, programs, books, coaching. And I just want to again, welcome you rock. Thank you for what you bring to the world. Giving outwardly you've had that, you know, individual success, but now you're focused outwardly on the word. I've had a wonderful experience to engage with a number of the people that have gone through your m one mastermind program. Uh, really going to be engaging with a young man, Ryan here in the next couple of days. Uh, helping him go through the desires of his heart through your teaching and training. So again, rock welcome. If you would take just a moment, walk us through your story a little bit from foreign board to financially free, your own personal journey.
Speaker 3:Yeah. It's really when you're going through your journey, you don't realize that you're carving out a path. There's later. So I was just trying to survive. I grew up in a divorced family, moved in with my mom, and then later with my dad, my now I was the youngest of seven kids. And when I was around 10 years old, I had to earn money to buy my own clothes. I got the hand me down, but there wasn't really much left by the time they got down to me, they were worn out. So I learned to work at a very young age and I've learned that in life, if you do as difficult, life will be easy later. And if you do what is easy? Life will be difficult later. And unfortunately for most people, you know, it's so tempting to mind is lazy. It wants to do what's easy. And therefore later in life they don't know. Most of North America are broke and overweight and they don't understand the passive income vehicles. They struggle to, um, you know, not mortgaging their future by using visa cards and things like that. And I was just raised a different way. So for 20 years of my life, I worked really hard, almost became a millionaire. And then my dad got sick in my late twenties, and I took two years to take care of him and I lost everything. I had earned three houses, my relationship, uh, for two years while he was, you know, he was being nursed and with cancer. And I learned at that point in time that if you, if you want to have really a lot of choices in life, you've got to create passive income so that while you're taking care of family or you're working on yourself, you actually have the time to do so without losing all of the wealth you've created. So that's kind of the path that I've carved out and I help other people do the same thing.
Speaker 2:There you go. Good stuff. And it's, it's, I appreciate you for being so transparent and sharing your story because when we do get into talking about the successes and the things that we've been able to accomplish, get towards certain pointed alive, uh, some, uh, a good opportunity to actually express what the struggles were, uh, gets overlooked and going back and sharing that part of it. It gives everybody that's listening to this or we'll listen to it, hope and belief that even though challenging times come that we can persevere through that. But I really liked that comment that you shared about the mind being lazy. Um, dig into that a little bit more. Just so folks, happy ending what that what it means for each and every one of us. Cause it's true for each and every one of us.
Speaker 3:Yeah. I mean it's a good thing. The mind is trying to actually be efficient. We call it lazy butts, trying to be efficient and do things effectively, which is cool. But what a lot of people you've heard of before is that people want to stay in their comfort zone. But I'd like to give a nuance to that. So let's say that I'm a young woman, grows up and she was abused by her father emotionally, physically, or sexually, and then later in her life she attracts a man that does the same thing. Is that comfortable for her or is it familiar for her? I grew up growing up and working 12 1416 hours a day. Was it comfortable for me? No. I was able to do that. I drove taxis. I bartended, I cut lawns, I wash windows, I did anything because my nervous system was familiar with it. So if you look in your past, you can predict what's going to happen to you, your future, unless you become aware of, you start to make a shift. So if you've never done things that are difficult and your parents let you sleep in and you were just playing video games and they did do your homework for you and you're really kind of lazy, how are you ever going to get yourself to change? Because your nervous system is wired to do what it's familiar with you and you do. That is you become, you know, you go to the military or you, you go join a sports team and you put, put in Indian environment that you'll become environment is stronger than willpower mark. And people don't understand that, that they didn't, they can will themselves to do something, but eventually the environment wins. And that's why you and I subscribe to being part of a mastermind group where we go into that environment and through us most as we become the context of that environment. And I really willing to say that if people understood that they're part of your podcasts, they're part of your world, they absorb it, they become it, they transformed. But too many people are home isolated, alone trying to win their life and it's not working.
Speaker 2:No Dude. Got To have that community. So you ascribe to this idea of say yes and figure it out later. And I get a sense of that comes also with the environment and in overcoming this dynamic, a wheelchair. Let's, let's, let's, let's open that onion a little bit if you don't mind.
Speaker 3:So I'm 17 years old and walking along and see a beautiful and my brain goes, I would like to date that girl. And then another part of my brain goes, yeah, but you're a pizza face, ugly little skinny wrench kit, which is a narrative that my brothers and sisters gave to me identity. But I read somewhere that do what you fear and it will just appear. So my brain went moved toward her. Yes. So I started to moving towards her and my brain is going yet, but we need to say, I don't know, that's a matter of keep on going fees work. Say Yes to yourself, saying yes to the opportunity to get up to her. And I look at her and she looks at me and I go bond James Bond and she looks at me like I'm a complete freak. But she laughed and I laughed and we started talking and she admired the courage I had because she could tell I was overcoming my fear and that's an attractive quality in life and people will honor that because they would like to do more of that themselves. We ended up dating. And it was a, since that moment I realized that if you say yes to the little desires you have, but you do it quickly because you have three seconds before the inner narrative, all the things that could go wrong will show up and stack and pack in your brain and talk to you out of it. So you got to say yes, figure it out later. Say yes, figure it out later. And it's really served me to build businesses and the partner with people and do all kinds of things. So,
Speaker 2:so for our, for my wishes now these are folks that are, or any different walks of life are overwhelming. They're always in some cases trying to figure out the next deal that they're going to do. And um, you know, whether it's they're working with leads that are hitting your inbox where there's leases coming via tax, whether they're looking to go to a Reia meeting, uh, to actually engage with some other investors too, to try to get out of their comfort zone, be in that community. Um, when, when you unveil of this, and I know you have the capacity to take a question on the fly like this, but when they're had reservations about the first deal or the next deal they're going to do and we want to help them apply this, say yes and figure it out later thought process, what suggestion would you make just to kind of shift that mindset, you know, the be in a position where yeah, you do put one foot in the front of the other and then figure it out later or uh, or you have your, your James Bond moment. What would you say to someone that may be, that's the one struggle, I just can't, or I'm trying to figure out how to go forward on my first or my next deal.
Speaker 3:Yeah. Well when you unpack it generally, especially in men, we want to, we want to go into an environment where we feel we can win and when we feel like we have, what it takes antithesis is that we don't feel are not. So confidence usually comes from competence. So if you don't feel competent in something, you don't want to take the action. If every time you walked across the bottom and ask the girl out on a date, she said you would do it every time because you have references. You have. What I do is I act as if in my mind's eye I'm already that person. And the way I do that is I find that with a mentor who really good, if you've heard this before, it's like you know your Mj, did you ever play basketball and dribble Bongo and Michael Michael Jordan going down? She's, Oh yes. Right. And you embody the person, you take it on and it gives you the confidence I would say to people is think of somebody who's got the result that you want. Try to act as if you're that person. Borrow their confidence and competence and then just stepping into it and play the role. That's what I bet
Speaker 2:you know, and it's even unique that you shared that. Where if I can piggy back a little bit. The other thing, if we could use the Jordan as an example, because for those that are, are familiar with his career and even his thought process, but one of the things you've described even before he talks about this SAS is how he was willing to, the fail, how he took, you know, 27 or 28 shots. So when the game and he lost, he didn't make the shot, but it was the willingness to fail, the willingness to stumble over not knowing exactly everything to say about the deal or even knowing all the evaluation data right up front is that willingness to get out there and respond to that lead to the person that's saying, Hey, I've got to deal for sale. And they get into it from there, but you got to raise your hand. You've got to say yes and figure it out later. So without it,
Speaker 3:I can piggyback on your Piggy Bank. I would add to that the stage that salespeople May, and we're all selling, right? Selling your girlfriend or wife to go to the movies and what you can eat for dinner. So we're always selling. You're trying to influence, but the mistake that people make an eye, I sold a hundred homes a year in real estate and I bought the company and I sold$1 billion a year running the company and over 80,000 homes in my lifetime, but what I did was different is I ask questions to determine whether the person needed my services to people are trying to force feed somebody something that they don't need and that's why they fear the rejection. If I asked you the right questions, right, are you in need of financing or you needed a deal or you need to approach project whatever the case may be or you needed an assessment. If I ask the right questions and you have no need for my service, then I don't have to take it personally. I just go, no, that's not it. If I know my numbers and I know that three out of a hundred are going to need my services at any given time, I'm looking for those three. I can get excited about the nose and they can high five you and say thank you. I appreciate you being honest with me and move on. Yes. About setting up context for the conversation that liberates you from the fear. You're going to feel being a failure. And when you do fail, you can relish the failure because you can learn more from your failure because it affects you so you can be excited about clearly or as well as David Goggins says in his book, can't hurt me.
Speaker 2:It's really unique because so many, that's what we tried to engage people in the best recounts a community and certainly through this idea of using a pays or secrets to be successful in doing transactions is that we want people to have the right mindset. Uh, we want them to be focused on their business on that. You know, even if we go back to Gary Keller the book, the one thing where it's, you know, what am I doing this hour that's going to get me towards my one thing? What am I doing this day that's going to get me towards and further towards, well what am I doing this week, this month, this year that's going to get me towards my Sunday go. That one thing that I want to accomplish and not ha, you know, avoiding bright, shiny object, stuff like that. So when we think about now this, this, this world that you're in that you're giving back to people, cause we talked a little bit about your story, um, this philosophy of saying yes and then figure it out later. You have a phrasing and this and this movement of the I am movement. And so the phrasing, they use, the words that follow, I am follow you. UNWRAP that for us. If you don't mind, uh, rocks. We'll dig deeper into that concept.
Speaker 3:I say everybody, everybody has a pizza face. My pizza face was my brothers and sisters thinking fun of the accident I had as a child. And it wasn't so much the label they gave me, which everybody's offered a label from other people that are disempowering. You're too short. What to tell him. Too Skinny. You'll never amount to much and when it came from people that that we want love from mostly our parents and our guardians, we take them to heart. We think that's who we are. So I became a pizza base and I repeated it to myself for years and it became my identity because I said I am other piece, face faces, I am ugly. People won't love me. People want to be with me. Girls won't be attracted to me. I'm a loser. I look in the mirror every day, look at my pimples. What you focus on expands and I felt ugly. But the worst part, mark is that I said it over and over and over again to myself like a declaration and that's what I became. Yes, well, we'll often say things like, oh yeah, I would do that. I'm a procrastinator else. It's not going to get to it. Or I'm lazy. Or even simple things like I'm not a morning person. I'm not a swimmer, I'm not a runner. I've had people that do ironman today that the 20 years of your life, they said, I'm not a swimmer. But then they got around a bunch of gobundance guys and they decided that they were going to become an iron man because somebody challenged him because environments stronger than willpower. Then came an iron man and the now swimming, they're like, oh my God, I can't believe for 25 years of my life I never swam. Yeah, I am themselves into that belief until another force came along and said, you can change the label. We're not born lazy, we're not boring, ugly or not more stupid. We adopt the label. So the I am movement is about deciding who are you in your higher self, who are you and the best version of view, who do you want to move toward becoming? What labels have been offered to you that don't serve you anymore? Like I'm bad with numbers because maybe somebody said, hey stupid, you can't figure out two plus two and you went, oh my God, I'm stupid and you wear that for the rest of your life so you can just change it. In my book, the power of your identity. I get to click five steps, but the quick story is write up all the words that describe who you are, circled, the ones that are disempowering and think of an upgrade if you're a pizza base. I went from pizza base to modeling Clint Eastwood. He's for it. And I caught myself. Ruggedly handsome, right? There you go. I'm not Tom Cruise, but it could be ruggedly handsome, like Clint Eastwood. I could relate to it and I said it over and over and over again and I shifted. Pardon me. So you can shit any part from being, I'm broken, struggling to, you know, I am wealthy and attracting great opportunities. So it's really important how we describe ourselves. Everybody breaks it down. So if you mine mind giving it to, you mentioned there's five components in the power of your identity. Would you walk through each of those five so we could capture that and share that with the, the folks who are listening today? Yeah, sure. So the first thing is you've got to become aware of the labels that you're repeating to yourself. And you write down all the positive ones that you can think of and all of the negative ones. Okay. You're right. When you look at the negative ones that keep the positive ones, if you say, I am bawling sexy and that's something you did to yourself or yeah, then you keep that one because it serves you as you showing up, doing good ones that don't serve you. Like let's say I'm, I'm antisocial as an example. Some people said, all right, I'm, I'm, I'm introverted. Okay. So then you circle that and you go, well, what could I be? I can be curious. I'm generally don't like to talk a lot, but I could be curious and ask a lot of questions. So I'm going to upgrade antisocial, introvert to curious roof. Okay. And then you shift all of those words. You put the whole group together and you create your I am statements like I am gifted, guidedly, grateful, powerful, passionate, playful, sexy, sensual, sensitive and blessed a monologue if you will. And then you just repeat them or romance them as I like to say, and spend time with them. Uh, so for instance, when I wake up in the morning, I have on my phone or recording five and a half minutes long of all my I am statements.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 3:And so like I'm a gladiator is one of them. I'm a rich athletic and she, I'm an attractor of opportunities. So in the past, you know, um, I wasn't attractive opportunities. I was an introverted carpenter, so I've shifted my identity. I'm ruggedly handsome, I'm attractor of opportunities. Um, I'm a good businessman. I'm a serial entrepreneur so you can write anything out, but if you spend time with it because you're brainwashing yourself anyway, mark, yes, those everybody, everybody has a voice going on all day long saying, I should have been this. It could have been that I'm not a good driver. I'm a bad, I'm a bad driver. I, um, I, I've had three accidents in the last year. I can't, I can't double park. People are constantly telling themselves who they are. Right. And they're not consciously choosing to be the best version of themselves.
Speaker 2:No. This is a phenomenal exercise to go through. Just listening to how you can actually take what is a perceived negative and then find the positive in it for yourself individually. Um, there's any number of different ways that we take our thoughts that absolutely positively have to be reshaped. I mean, I'm married to a pastor and my wife is, um, dedicated to being in a, in a position to make sure that when she communicates with the congregation, when she's delivering a message, one of the things is so important to her are the words that she says because she realized she's up to, to, to a degree, uh, the voice of a, of a higher power at that time. And that these people are listening to those words and they're going to act on them, internalize them. And so she's been very careful about that. But one of the things, even for herself is this thought of, is my message, did I cover the rights? And I was supposed to cover, um, have I actually used the right words to communicate those things? So even in her own capacity, there's this need or desire to make sure that I'm encouraging her, that, um, you know, done is better than perfect, God's work. Okay. But that you have the capacity. This is something that you're doing on a regular basis. So for everyone, regardless of their walk in life, whether we're just starting to climb those steps and need to really identify on the power of our identity in reshaping a re phrasing it as going forward. I love that phrasing. Ruggedly handsome. I mean, that's something that you obviously have lived into. Um, overwhelmingly taking the other phrase in the pie face and a kind of getting good at getting rid of that just exist. It's a part of history. Absolut does it make for a good story, truths, but it's not what you're living, you know. Um, yeah. I identify so very greatly with, uh, those that are listening to this and had heard your words as it relates to the ironman. Um, individually. It was something that was way out there as an original thought. Watching Julie Moss back in 1982 on the recorded videos where she's punched drunk stumbling. It's like, why would anyone put themselves through? I'm like, those people are crazy. And then watching footage of years later and saying now that's really quite an accomplishment that they're going through. And then finally watching us some coverage and hearing that as a gentlemen, this is his 20th year of doing the Ironman. He started when he was 55 you know, so it really gives you belief of what is possible and all these little experiences that we have. It's someone could still see it's still here 20 years doing ironman and he started with 55 and said, oh, that's just not possible for me when for others like myself at 52 at the time it was like game on, I got to go do this. And so I did my first iron man at 55 years old and have continued to do them year over year and it's how we take and really grab our own identity and doing it with these, with this tea bar of positive and negative, going through those initial five steps of identity, getting to the power of your identity is just a seamless way that you obviously teach the thought process to reframe who you are. But then you go even further with these top 10 rules for success as we're building our identity. Would you jump into that force if you don't mind?
Speaker 3:So after use it doing coaching marketing, and I love the way you recapitalize that really, it really landed and I appreciate that. And I'd like to piggyback just one thing before I go into it is know your wife is coming home and she of course wants to do her best job on her, her sermon, and we're all like that. The biggest fear we have is we're not enough. So we tend to beat ourselves up and I could have done better, I should have said this, et Cetera, et cetera. And like, and everything we do, um, I couldn't run a faster time. It could have swam better, right? I didn't transition while it's almost like Britney Brown says we wake up and it's the not enough mantra. It's not enough coffee. There's not enough gas in the car. There's not enough time. Uh, it didn't spend enough time with my kids so I didn't spend enough time with my spouse. So I want to offer for people that I think it's an ongoing work of forgiving yourself.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 3:And accepting that you're never going to be perfect, right? To use the desire of being enough as leverage to drive you to be the best version you, but still accepting that we're human and I'm working on that. And maybe that's why I bring it up because it's real to me right now. I'm probably the hardest person on myself cause you were probably on you. But take care of that little eight year old Mark Jackson. Speak to that eight year old Mark Jackson the way, you know, maybe you wanted to or you didn't have all the time at that age and love on that kid because life is too short just to be a dick to yourself and it's fine to challenge yourself. It's fine to reach for more. But I think we don't spend enough time cutting ourselves on the back. Not that were soft, be soft, we're tough. But as you go, you know what? It's okay. It's okay. Just it's okay. Yeah, I will. And in fact I've learned as a speaker, the more vulnerable and transparent I am stumbling my words. I let people know I'm dyslexic. I asked people to help me spell words like experiences that I before e except that I can't remember the crowd and then I don't have to beat myself up when they get off the stage and go, you know, God, what are they thinking you, you can't even spell properly or rightfully it up very well and neatly. So just wanting to add to that because I think it's a spot for all of us and the top 10 rules for me came about when I started coaching people like 30 people a week for years and I kept on saying the same thing over and over again. What will solve your problem is x will solve your problems is why which you're not doing this x what you're not doing. His wife and I boil it down to the top 10 things that served people to get any results. You want to run a triathlon. When I run an Ironman, you got to follow the top 10 groups. The rule number eight is telling me what your morning and evening rituals. If you don't have a good morning and evening ritual, you're not going to perform at your best every day. There's no two ways about it and the most successful people have the same things they do over and over again, so that doesn't change. You've got to find what works for you in the morning and things like that. Rule number nine is nothing has meaning, but the meaning you give it, everything is empty and meaningless until you show up. And you'd say that in iron man is great or it's sucks or it's raining out and as good or it's bad, nothing you show up. So I kind of wrote those out and they're a toolbox for anybody to be able to be more empowered threat every day. Does that make sense?
Speaker 2:It does. It does. And you know, it's really, you need a bigger voice. Pardon? You know, this, this imperfect thing. I'm still overcoming a cold, so I've coughed a couple of times. I probably need to grab a glass of water, but we want to make sure that we get this content to you so that you can take it and put in your life and realize that, yeah, we do need to pat the eight year old version of us on the back and say, hey, it's going to be okay. We can move forward. Because it's just that it's just that small measure of forgiveness that we can go and still fail. And it's okay. Um, but I, I love how you put into this eight steps, this, uh, this morning and evening ritual. Um, uh, you have one. I have one. There's no the time that we go to bed, there's a time that we get up. You know, when we, when we awaken in the morning, it's, it's not to hit the snooze. It's, Hey, thank you. I'm blessed. I feel wonderful that I've actually woken up to another day. Let me be intentional to me determine, um, the realization of what I can accomplish it. They let me show, I strengthened my mind, my body physically through exercise so that I can then go execute on that day. Uh, so, you know, we are awakened with, with delight and purpose. I think I go back to scripture when it says when you wake up in the morning, you want to give thanks that your clothed in your right mind. You still know who you are and you have a measure of spreads. And that doesn't matter. You know, we've, we met some people that just this past week that, you know, no arms, no legs or you know, three feet tall. But yet they awaken every morning realizing that there's a purpose in their life. They're, they're intentional about what they're going to do. They, they strengthened both their minds in the vice and the capacity to do so. And then they go execute our life. And while there's 10 steps, each and every one of them is important. But you can tell immediately, I, I'm passionate about this idea of a morning and evening ritual that guides you through, that gives you some things that you don't have to think about that are just automatic regardless of whether you wake up in Tokyo or you wake up in Denver, you wake up in Canada, wherever you are, they're part of your, your motor modus operandi. They get you going. So you can continue to do more the more touch other lives. Yes, we still want to have our own stable of means and ways of how we provide for ourselves and those that we love. But we transition as you have to a very outward positioning, helping people create that blueprint, that life for themselves. So I lead up to that part when, if we could take a few more minutes before we wrap up, uh, just what are the steps, what are the things that folks to look forward to when they actually look at and create their own life blueprint? Okay.
Speaker 3:It sounds simplistic but most people never get clear on what they bought. So they respond to life. They don't plan even a week or a month at a time. Something called Parkinson's law is workflow fill the amount of time that you get it. The average person that works 40 hours a week, actually it works about effectively about 28 of those hours at most. But they're told to work nine to five. They touch around the office. If they were, no, I think it's Sweden. They worked, um, 30 hour weeks. Okay. Just as much done. So I would say that for people is number one is get clear on what you want. When I work with people, we then define what's preventing that and then we give them resources so that they can power through. You know, we can be more efficient, we can be more effective. We can be more organized, but when you know what you want, you can drive to it every day and then the problems will reveal themselves and then the awareness around it and you're like, okay, it's a problem is I keep on x, y, zed. And then you look for the resource personal development. We said to training's always in, it's about learning to be the right you to appreciate it and act upon the right vehicle. A lot of people take the courses and flipping real estate with Robert Kiyosaki and spend$40,000 and never take any action because they haven't learned how to get themselves to take action. So I would say that first, get clear on what you want. Number two, decide that you're going to relish a learning experience. You're okay with facing failure because there's really is no failure. There's just feedback. So if you're okay with going, okay, that didn't work, how do I now of course correct. Then you can actually relish just taking action, reward yourself for taking action or so much about the results. A baseball player misses seven out of 10 times a hockey player. And this is nine out of 10 times, you know, they don't, they don't go back to the bench and cry because they failed nine out of 10 times hang the numbers and they look to score on the next shot.
Speaker 2:Exactly. Exactly. I looked and just those idea, so you're clear on what you want. Choose your course of action, reward that action. That's probably one of the unique parts of how we actually identify that yes, we're making progress you regardless of what that step is. And I think the other thing, um, is this idea of not making an excuse where we didn't do something we didn't need our, if we set a goal of 10 calls today and we only made three or four, don't make an excuse why you didn't do them. Just say, Hey, I didn't make those calls because, and it's done. There's no lingering effect. There's no beating yourself up over. It's just that I didn't make those calls. Now you go forward to the next day, your next set of goals and then reward the action that you did. Take Rock. I can't thank you enough. We've, we've only scratched the surface.
