But more than anything, and as you'll hear in the story, is that any time you ask him something, his big thing is, how are you gonna get it done?

spk_0: 2:24
Yeah, man, I mean, first thing first. I mean, you're you're you're the type of people that I do this for, man. I mean, since we met, you really wanted to go out there and, you know, start your part. Cast to the consult teen. Figure out your life and I think, you know, seeing you grow in the well, you've done things. That is exactly why I love helping people. Because the girl that you the growth that you had that you've put yourself through all I had to do was ask you the right questions, like it's it's awesome. So, you know, hat's off to you on that part. Um, as far as myself, man. E mean, you know, just your story. I came from qualities, um, back when I was in, like, second or third grade. You know, my dad is a doctor in Mexico. He has his own practice, but don't think local Those rich doctors like here, right? Unfortunately, because of how the violence went over there and certain obstacles, you know, he has to get his own clients outside of hospitals and all that. So he came from over himself. Really? Um, but anyways, when that violence came, we came over here. Um, and you know, my mom wasn't working. My dad was earning and vessels trying to pay a more like a mortgage over here, You know, trying to think these things under the water we lived was like eight of us, and, I don't know, six of us in the house. I'm sorry. And we're just trying to figure it out. Man, I came illegally. I just said American Preston of the border of, you know, green eyes. So they didn't question much, and Ah, yeah. Hi. My story is fairly simple, man, I came. I couldn't talk about Ah, English. I only knew Spanish. I'm always put in these classes where they put the kids that are slower because they don't know the language. Well, you can. You can already picture knowing me. I was like, This is not gonna happen. So every time they would give a Spanish books, I would exchange for English, even though I had no clue what the hell I was reading. No clue. You know him back then we didn't search up there. Many words on Google were just figured out. So what I would do is I would have a book in Spanish and we'll grab a book in English, and I would try to somehow translated and teach myself how to speak English on the classes. Um after that. Really? You know, it's a small dude I got. I got bullied throughout middle school in high school. I did. I was trying so hard to fit in, man like so hard because I was from Mexico, right? I saw the cool kids, the jocks, and I was like, I need to fit in. So I try so hard, and all that did for me was literally got me beat up. And that was not funny at all. You know, after the bus stopped during the bus stop stop thing. Um, so then I You know, I Yeah, that's pretty much. Honestly, since then, I realize that I always wanted to prove the bullies raw. I wanted to get bigger. I wanted to get stronger. I wanted to get smarter. And one thing that I did know is that no matter what they did, it just was I would always outsmart them. So I realized I had, like, a little dean going on there for myself. So I decided to, you know, you come a little nerd. Um, but really, that's just me coming from Mexico, back to the U. S. And really mastering the language. Now what I'm really about men is getting things done. And the reason I did that man is back in or is in. 2016 27 26 2017. I graduated college, I got my first job and I was doing distribution. So I had my key lesson. No pasa what is? And you are right. So from I took knowing illusion Spanish and bring from Quite is to my advantage to get that drop right. They wanted someone who was familiar with the cities in the area. In the language. I was making 70 k a year base, and with my bonuses, I was sitting close to 100 and 10 as if I had graduated card to the 21 year old man. I got Justin to anyone, and I'm over here making 120 like 110 120 k with a company car company, cell phone. They paid my internet. I had my benefits. I got to travel to Mexico all the time. All free. You literally drink for free, right? Eat for free. And men, I feel I made it right. Super like hell yeah. What? Is there more to this? And I got a little comfortable, you know, I did what every person does. You get the money, you go spend it. I didn't have any financial education, so I went out. I went to the bars. I would drop 607 $100 in one night. It since he was a couple of bottles, you know, I would spend it on dumb things. I bought a Mustang. You know, I was turning into the imbecile. Basically, person, right, Your mustang. Any party, Excellency. And at their year and 1/2 of doing that, I felt like I had figured it out. I gained weight. I was a bad person to my girlfriend. Ho bad. I spend my money where I didn't need it, too. And I made investments like a car. But that that that that I didn't have to. And then one day I get a message. It was right after Christmas, and I get a message that my boss is coming into town. He lived in Dallas, and he messages me, and he's like, Hey, you should bring your things. And I was a I'm sorry. And he's like, Yeah, you should come over. You shouldn't make sure the car is good and bring your things. And I was a wait. Am I getting prepared to get fired or what's going on? And then he said yes. Unfortunately, your performance hasn't been when we expected. You know, we had a good year. We let you go through Christmas, but unfortunately gonna have to let you go. And I was a hold on. Hold on. I have a debt of a Mustang. I have a company car, right? I have that because obviously I got them wrong. I didn't save any money. So my bank account, even though I was making 110 k still like slow, closer the sea road. I had no Internet. I had no phone. So we really think about it from one day to the next man. They took everything and they left me with death like a Mustang. So that's what I had to do. I had to return the Mustang. Luckily, they even that I don't know. I had to pay $1000. So that money I had left, I had to pay it to make sure I didn't know anything so I could return it so literally in a span of 24 hours. I could live with no car, no Internet, no phone, no money. That on the freaking credit cards, because I thought I was gonna be able to pay them off. And Mariam? Nothing. How's a bro? A bad boyfriend. A bad son, in fact, Like down horrible man. So soon that that Yeah,
spk_1: 8:46
it sounds like everything kind of switched on the flip of a switch.
spk_0: 8:49
Oh, Yemen. Oh, yeah. My life got rocked, and even if I wanted to get a car, it couldn't. So I had to figure out How do I get a bike? Like, Imagine that. And I mean, luckily, I got a job like, two months after that. But really, that's why I'm so passionate about what I do, man. That's what I'm all about. Getting things done and habits because I could have easily gone down the backpack. I could have easily, you know, I got him or that made excuses, not get up. Be lazy because I literally have nothing to live for for, like that 11 week where I felt like my whole world had crumbled down. But that's why I'm so passionate because so many people feel like that right now that I want to make sure I can show what I did to get them out of there.
spk_1: 9:35
A couple of things I want to touch on on that man is, um you make all this money, right? And a lot of the times I think I was reading recently that if you don't know how to make $1000 last, you're not gonna know how to make $100,000 last. Do you think that was a situation in that case where maybe you just came too early into that money work? You didn't really know howto handle it yet. And it was kind of just exploring any kind of having on with that.
spk_0: 9:56
Ah, 100% meant 100%. I think you know the way I raced up in the way. Me and my parents came. We were in putting a I didn't really get to learn how to keep money. It was Mimi survival money, right? You get it, you burn it, you get it, You burn it because you have no choice. Right? Um but Yemen, Is that how they say if you get rich quick you go broke quicker, right? So it's not about how much you make about how much you keep.
spk_1: 10:22
Okay? I completely agree. And I think a lot of people, and especially in our area and I mean around the world because it sounds I mean, you see all the reports of so many Americans living in debt that just were not used to maybe having that much money. And if you come from maybe struggling background, where your family, like you're saying, is trying to live paycheck to paycheck to provide for you and you start coming into the money a lot of the times you called and I didn't know how to handle it. And it's not gonna be any benefit, cause you could end up in even more debt So crazy to hear that you lose all that money, man. But another thing that I want to touch on is you. You go through all this stuff and you lose everything mentally like the hats have had some effect on you. And like you said, you could have gone down the wrong path. And a lot of people do that. They're not able to bounce back from a situation like that. So what do you think Helped you kind of get through that? Or would you use to try to see a brighter day in your future?
spk_0: 11:09
You know, luckily, I have great supportive parents, and luckily, you know, they try to think for me or help me out here and there. But really, man, it's that time. That's when I hit my realistic point of view. Um, What I mean by realistic point of view, I had to be honest with myself, you know, I had that was this guy that graduated college early, graduated high school early, had a really attractive girlfriend, had the perfect job, you know, I had a good could have had a good body because I did have a good body back then and then, you know, all the fruit, beer and all that ruined it and just driving around. But I had it all men like I did everything that they expected me to do from first grade to get into where Matt and I lost it all. So I realized that was really humbling for me because I was in the battles that I thought I was. That was nothing at that point
spk_1: 12:01
sounds like it was a learning experience and a lot of the times I think, especially here now. Today's day and age everybody gets a trophy. I've talked about this before that if you haven't really been hit with the reality check or you haven't really experienced failure, it's kind of hard to really know that it's coming and howto understand how you can bounce back from
spk_0: 12:18
it 100%. And that's why it again. And that's why I like what I'm doing, because I do believe that, yes, you have to have that hardship parents that wakes you up. But I also believe that if I would have just been educated a little bit better by myself, I'm not gonna blame the outside world. I'm gonna save myself. If I would have prepared myself better than maybe right now, I could have been making half a $1,000,000 on my age and I wouldn't have had to go through that. And I could have, you know, made my my girlfriend happy. So I will say that why I do it and why I feel like getting someone that already knows what they're doing and helping you out or the way I want to help people out is because maybe you don't have to go through that. You know, they say that you have to let her failures. But what if you could just learn from someone that already did it and I already have that advantage and then just take off from there? Why do you have to go all the way down to come back up? It's a little bit of both.
spk_1: 13:09
I completely agree with that, and I think a lot of the time. That's why studying people reading all that separate stuff is because there's gonna be someone out there that experience either what you're going through or that is heading in the same direction that you might be going heading, and you can try to prevent it before everything hits rock bottom. But I mean, sometimes the lesson is better to be laying for yourself. But if you can prevent that, definitely recommend trying to prevent it. So kind of talking about that man. If someone's in the same situation, I would love to hear what were the steps like, So you hit rock bottom, you lose everything. What does that process look like for you to try it. Try to start getting back into the right direction.
spk_0: 13:45
Yeah. So the first thing first, man, you gotta be able to disconnect. I'm gonna take a few steps here, but they're getting The 1st 1 is being able to disconnect your who? I used to be your hood off. Who the hell I think I am to who I really am. Right. Oh, my God. So many people, man like you and you seem like the rather go broke, then provide for their family all because they don't want to be under this person, or they don't wanna work for $13 an hour when they're not making anything on the side. You know what I mean? Like, I guess the biggest thing for me is separating your ego for, so realize your actual position that you're in, not where your brain is making you think you are. Because when I realized I could have easily said, Hey, why used to make $100,000 on a $10 million territory, had a car perfect or whatever you want to say, right? Like I had all this. But in reality, that's not who I was or what I was is a die in debt with no money with a rent coming up, you know, with literally no car and still had to provide. Like what? That's my realistic view. So first thing's for separate your reality from where you think you're So take that ego. Put it aside. You can bring that ego later if you want, but right now you need to be really real with yourself as the first step, the second step to start building your foundation. A lot of people they don't want to work on building their foundation. They just keep putting things on top of it. And they think by just acting something on top of the shitty foundation or just putting a Band Aid on it. It's somehow gonna hold up. But that's why you see so many people, like build to something big and then from from one day to the next they're nothing and you're late. What just happened to that person? So the good thing about starting from scratch like I did when I was able to build my foundation, so build the right steps for you to build on top of love.
spk_1: 15:40
I agree with that again, man. So you're saying humbling experience. And I think in today's day and age, everybody once again things that we're gonna accomplish great things. Everybody has those high aspirations. But if you don't understand what you're currently at, I don't I don't think you can build a plan to try to get to what that angle is. And like you're saying, if everything start scrambling down there, you might not be prepared to handle a certain situation because you didn't put the work in to try to better yourself. You didn't put the word to try to get better eyes and overall person, and you run into a situation that could just completely destroy you and take you off path.
spk_0: 16:15
And and that's exactly what I mean, man. And one night, you know, when I separated who I thought I was, too, I was actually, I know I need three things from that. Say I need three things like that. I could know so much, but I need three things I knew one. I had to pay rent. I knew I was fat, and I knew my relationship was, and where was supposed That's the only three things I knew. And I didn't see myself like the guy like, Oh, my goodness, I did everything right. Why am I here? Like I could have easily stayed there as a victim and that's quite me, right? But then, you know, you got to start asking yourself, Why not me? And that's when I realized, like things happen not to you before you write. So if it wasn't for that experience, I wouldn't be where I'm at today and think the way. I think so. Since I needed a ramp and I was fat and I knew I wasn't the best boyfriend I had to do three things right? I needed money. I needed to look fit. And I needed to show my relationship with my partner how much I love them. That's it. That's it. So guess what? My date consisted off starting the next. The next week, when I snapped out of my thing, I went and got a job. I had $30,000 a year job completely, you know, had some commission, but Pally dropped like I put I put a $70,000 ego drop on myself. I imagine what that feels like right. I started going to the gym and I made sure to apologize to my partner about who I was. And I make sure that every day she knew who I wanted to become as the three things I did. And guess what I built my foundation to wear. Now me and my girlfriend lived in Arizona together and that we're hopefully getting engaged this year. I don't have to worry about rent. I work out every day and I watch what I eat. And now I get to build on top of that foundation, which is where I want to start using my message, my mess, and turn it into my message to make shaking help people get into better habits.
spk_1: 18:20
So let me ask you this. I mean, the way you break it down, it's those weird. Let's say you're building blocks, right? You those three where you're building blocks and what I really take away from that story was you took this big mass that's happening on simplified it in a way like Okay, I'm gonna attack this and then from there, I'm gonna start getting some momentum and try to get out of this. You know what? Why do you think it's so difficult for people that are going through hardship that they can't break it up? They can't distinguish like how do I attack this problem? Instead, it kind of like to stays in the surface. And you really don't make any progress because you're you're juggling all this stuff and you're not really answering your solving any of the problems you're dealing with.
spk_0: 18:59
Yeah, because a lot of people get me and you have talked about it. We get analysis, paralysis, right? We get into this team where it's so easy to just get overwhelmed by everything that's going on, right? And then it's so easy not to in social media to go and have a rant or it's so easy to color for a friend and complain about it. Right? So when when you have all this energy and let's say and I'm gonna give you an example, I don't know if you knew this. I know that's ever happened to you where maybe you're stressed about money and that's all you think about. And instead of getting back money, you get more problems about money. Yeah, I don't know that's ever, you know, like I need $1000. And instead of thinking I deserve $1000 I am putting the effort to get $1000. I am worth the over $1000. Instead, you're thinking I need 1000. I'm going today. Oh, my God. I have built global. And then boom, your car breaks out and then, boom, you're dog needs this and then, boom, your mom needs money. That's because when you put it out there, that's where you literally get. So that's why it's really important to break down or gonna mess into the actionable steps that you can actually take.
spk_1: 20:07
Okay? And I agree that it's kind of that energy you're putting out his energy that's gonna come back. And I have that person tell me, like, no matter what it is like you thought, your thoughts are the energy right. And if you come consistently thinking negative, you're consistently telling yourself things are gonna get better. It's gonna be really difficult for you to try to get yourself out of that situation
spk_0: 20:24
exactly, man. And at the end of the day, everything is connected, right? Like, really, everything is connected. It's how How they say so. I'll give you a quick example, but I'll go back to like the whole when I need money. When I had to fit red, I need money when they're fat. I needed I needed to look for it. Been with my relationship. I needed to make sure, uh, love them right and show my love. It's it's all connected. So if I am fit, it's like a deal. Is a rifle a run for it? If I feel good, I sell good. That's a huge thing. Have you ever seen a famous person? The really famous cellar that's back. I know it sounds weird, but and I'm sorry if you're hearing this in, this might offend you. But have you ever seen it? Right now they usually look really well. There will present a well groomed and there you could tell they work out or are these? They eat properly and they take care of themselves. Now check this out the wrong fit. If I feel good, I sell good, right? If I look good, my my confidence is not gonna go. And it's not gonna create this toxic relationship where I expect my girlfriend look good, because since I look good and I feel good, she's gonna be more attracted to me. The right. And then she's gonna feel more like, Oh, wow. He you know, he looks good for me. He's trying. He's taking care of myself. Now I sell good. And if I make money, that's what I get to do. Get to invest my money. But most importantly, I can go grocery shopping healthy. I can get a gym membership, right? I can take my girlfriend on a date. I take my girlfriend on a date. Then I start showing her that I love her. All right, so you see what I mean. So, like, it's everything is interconnected. Everything affects everything, Which is why you got to start tomorrow. What that steps gonna dig today? That would take me to plan B two step seat to step the two step two step F to eventually become the sales consultant. That's making half a $1,000,000 with a happy relationship, no debt and investments, but they all start in one little spot.
spk_1: 22:32
Now, let me ask you, why do you think that when it comes to it and a lot of the Times, you'll feel people that they're being they feel they're being successful at work, but their house and the relationship is going down the drain or they might be in really good shape. But the relationship and the workmen on being on good. You hear a lot of the time that people can. They don't have enough time for everything. So why why do you think that excuse comes up? Or why do you think that people just can't figure out a way to balance some of these things that are really important? Because we've talked about it before? There's four important pillars. There's House. There's Wells. Um, there's I believe the other one was love and then their relationship relationship, and then Kevin number the 4th 1 But those four killers revolve a happy life and revolve you having a fulfilling life. So but you always hear people having to choose one or the other.
spk_0: 23:18
Yeah, 100%. And that's because a lot of people are just scared of fail. I don't want to say that there's a specific reason on why, because everybody's different. Someone could have had a trauma, someone some people just hate to fail so they don't try. You know, um, most of the people of the honest man, they're just not in it for the long run. And they don't value themselves and others around them as much as they should, which is so heartbreaking. You know that, Dad, that doesn't want to go and at least walk in the treadmill. Er, that that was our the mom That doesn't wanna keep a learning or the sun. That thinks because, like, think about it that way, right of your son. He thinks he's just having fun. He's going out of school, he smoking weed and fucking at school and not getting the grades or whatever you wanna call it, right? He's doing all of that. But he doesn't realize that to get there, his parents had to cross illegally. Or her mom. His mom has to work a 12 hour shift. Still get home, cook for that guy. Still keep the husband happy, right? Make sure the house is clean. And then she still has to go to work and then figure out and then figure out a time to love herself. Right? If you told that kid the amount of effort tears and, like you know, the how real it is and how much it's affecting someone. Now. It's like to me, it's heartbreaking, man. Every time I don't want to do something, I think of my parents coming over here illegally. My parents like working their ass off for me to go to school. And then also, I could go home, lay down and not be the best human being I can be. Instead, just get a little chubby, not care about what what I look like, how much I make what I do with my life, the kind of message that I'm giving, like that's bullshit, man. And so when a lot of people give these excuses because they just don't realize that what they do right now, bro like when they're 60 and they're broke, like, imagine being broke and jobless when you're 60 like that's crazier. But to live the most horrible 10 15 20 years of your life after you're 60. So I just don't think people have touched it to something, really, and I don't think they realize what they can do if they just focus and invested in themselves.
spk_1: 25:37
And I think that's kind of stepping away. And I mean, I see that as kind of like a purpose, because I know my big thing was, you know, like you said, your family sacrifices a lot for you that your family probably didn't have a lot of the opportunities that presented in today's day and age. And some people fail to realize how lucky they might be to be living at this time, how lucky they might be to have the opportunities in front of them. But most important, like you said, everybody, a lot of people fail to take action. And a lot of people might think of the idea. My think of maybe pursuing something, but it kind of just stays at that thought. You know, in a year passes by two years passed by and they're still in the same place. There still might be in the same job. They're still in the same position in mind set that they're in. But there's really no effort on their in to try to get out of that situation
spk_0: 26:19
exactly. And that's why I love what I do, man. And that's why I pivoted. My mind's didn't like my goal now. Yes, I do sales right now, but my main goal is to help people get out of that. Might set, break those limiting believes, create the right habits because it's so sad, man like I know of stories of people and literally. I mean, if they're 60 they get laid off, and then what? And then nothing. And they don't have savings. And then, well, I mean, even if you have $500,000 in savings, how long is I really gonna last year?
spk_1: 26:51
But the people do you think people see that now? Because we were programmed? And it's like you said, It's not any It's not a surrounding fault. It's not. Our parents follow. You know, whoever might have been the person that's guiding you through life so far, but you're programmed in a way to think of a reef or one k or your program to kind of think of. Hey, put a savings together and you get to retire and enjoy life. But that's not the situation for a lot of people. And like you're saying, even 500 K sounds pay. That's a pretty decent retirement fund. You feel like you can step away, but life happens as serious illness happens. But tragedy happens in the family, and that could be wiped. Like I'm actually currently working on this and the industry that I'm at right now, um, they had well off they were business owners for a long time. They have the whole life planned out. One of the, uh, wife got sick and wiped out their savings completely wiped out in a matter of a year. So that couple family, you know, that couples like, completely changes. And I think people fail to realize that because they feel like things just gonna go smoothly throughout the whole process.
spk_0: 27:53
I'm 100% man. 100%. You gotta be prepared. Yeah. And that's why it's so important to focus on those three pillars, right? Because it if something happens to your health, then you still got your wealth, and you still got the relationships that you can leave that if, for whatever reason, something happened to the relationship that you have, you still have your health and your wealth. All right. If something happens to your wealth and at least you're still healthy, you still got the relationships and you can easily make a turn around again. Now you just take one habit and start that wells process. Now you take one, have it and start that health process. Right? So that's why it's so important. Toe, really Invest in yourself and put yourself in the winning positions at all points.
spk_1: 28:37
And it's interesting because we talk about what you're saying. Do you talk about habits? And I see it nowadays a lot like just on example. I think everybody can relate to it. I'm sure everybody's done. This at least once is. When it comes to the gym, you see everybody like, Hey, I'm gonna hit it hard. I'm gonna start this routine now, almost I working out. But what I see is they go to the extreme on day one. So, like you'll see they won the poster meal, perhaps that they're doing and it like some grapes and almonds and they're trying to go to the gym two times a day. And next thing you know, it lasted, like, 34 days, and then that's it. We're done with that try and they don't even want to look at it again. So why do you think people don't look at it in the long term, but it's that are just tryingto get the results within a matter of a month or two.
spk_0: 29:21
That's just because that's how we are men. Unfortunately, you know, we're used to If I asked you right now, you know, when was the first dinosaur discovered? Would you know? What would you do,
spk_1: 29:34
brother? Google it
spk_0: 29:36
exactly that. So that's the frickin issue, man. Like it. Google's great social media is great. I'm never gonna talk about about it because that they do, someone means and thinks because they put everything in our power. But that's the issue, right? Ah, lot of people just get it can literally go online and get all the information that the and then they get all that information. And they think that because they were with a Google letter, do whatever like they're supposed to get instant gratification. You know, we're so used to getting everything instantly that when it comes to putting in work or being patient, then they think that that's what that's where everything goes to hell, man, like people don't understand the long game. So, you know, for example, when I started the gym, unless you're gonna get a coat. Tried. If you're gonna get a coach and a nutritionist or you're gonna get a mentor, Coach, if you're gonna get someone that already did it and they're gonna help you get your results, you may see them wait faster. That's because you're getting a professional. Someone with experience of master in that thing and you're paying or for their experience for their exchange. Right, Um, but if you're gonna doing like again, it's a tow. Have its game. Unlike when I started going to the gym, I was about to do that. I was about to start like I'm gonna just dia, bro. All protein, no carbs for getting my girlfriend Think Ito and I were trying to do all these things and then I was like, You know what? When a gym every day. And, you know, doing all that no more. So would, uh, I know my training. I used to have great body wrote drinks, soda every single day, a diet Coke. Everybody looks like what the hell. That guy has donuts, but has the most ripped six packs that I've seen in my life. That's because he knows that it's all about train the habit. So he's trained his body, so his cells are fit cell, They're not fat cells, they're fit cells. So they know that if you put something bad, they need to burn that and get it out of there. Right? So what I mean by that is when when I started dreaming, one of the trainers told me, I don't want you to start eating healthy out of nowhere. I don't want you to go grocery shopping. What I want you to do is and, uh, replace one meal and one workout. And when you do that for the next two months, then we'll add another grocery list. So we started literally taking protein, bro. I would just take a grievance protein, cause I don't like vegetables Are the greens protein every day, every night. That's it. Not even breakfast and already whatever during the week, it was just night, but I would work out every single day and then eventually my own mindset. I can do this stuff. You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna replace my coffee and my bang with the thermo genic in the morning. So I saved money, but I don't You know, I don't get too crazy. All still eat whatever my company offers in March or whatever. I decide to play with my friends. Next thing you know, now I'm at this stage where I'm looking at the food that they're serving us. And I'm like, Yes, I don't want a meal proud because I feel like this is not what I want to do. Well, guess what's gonna happen a month from now a month from now? Maybe the guy taking my my thermo genic in the morning in taking my meal, perhaps to work, having my shake at night and still working on in between. But I didn't do it all at once. I played the long term, so my body can be trained into being a fit party. So you gotta do that with your help with your wells with your mind. With your relationship, it's all a stepping stone. Uh, you know,
spk_1: 32:53
and I think the beautiful thing about all that is the hardest part, of course, is that first start right? Getting started, starting to build a moment. So I'm starting to train yourself that you do have the discipline to accomplish whatever you're trying to accomplish, But I think I know what I've noticed is once you've done it once, you mentally it's a lot easier in case because, well, human, I mean, so at times we're gonna fail some habits, my break, and you gotta re group yourself and get yourself back on track. But once you've proven yourself that you've done it once, I think it's a lot easier for you to try to get that going again. And it's not gonna be as difficult. But the important part is you making sure you start building it that first time
spk_0: 33:30
Yemen, and it becomes a game with yourself, right? Like if I could do that, how can I not be healthy? White? Why can't I go through a full course and stay motivated? Like, Why can I start my own business? If I can do this, What can I do that? Hell, yeah, I can. And that's when you start breaking this limiting. Believed all because you're building, you know, the proper habit
spk_1: 33:49
because it ties into fitness. I know if you've done it once, where you got into a target weight fall off a little bit, you nobody can get back. But I think in the bigger one, and that we can both relate to is you hear a lot of these entrepreneurs like a they lost it all. But once they've, aren't they known? They've made a certain amount of money. They know they can make it again. And now it's just like you said. It's a game to them, and it's about putting, figuring out how they're gonna get back to that position.
spk_0: 34:12
Exactly, exactly. And one last thing I wanna say, but that again, attached to something real. I used to attach my body weight, goes like watches, one of those £10. What the hell? What would that mean for those £10? Like, What's the point of me losing £10? So what it is, I touched it to a six pack. I don't care about anything else. I care that I have a six pack. Why? Because I want to go to a music festival. That's what I like to do. I want to go shirtless because I want to have a six pack and I've never been able to do that. So officially, every time I don't want to do something, I want to eat but I don't touch it to minus £10 or minus 2% body fat. I had touched it to me, walking through a festival, jiggly and having a shirt on that would suck
spk_1: 34:54
straight on man. And I think a lot of people failed to do that. I think a lot of people failed to really realize why they're trying to accomplish it, because, like you say, a lot of people will try to start to the gym because they feel like they need to be healthy. But there's no personal reason on really no personal motivation for you to really try to accomplish that. And another thing that I noticed about you is you don't just do that with the bowls, but you kind of do that in an overall perspective because, like I mentioned last time that we talked, I think we talked about the way you're not walking your dog and a lot of people. You know, walking a dog might be something that you just skip in the day, but the way you broken down was okay. If I don't walk my dog in the afternoon, he is gonna be barking at night. If he's barking, and I'm not gonna get a solid a solid rest at night. I'm gonna wake up the next morning and I'm gonna be upset that you didn't sleep well. And then I'm gonna start arguing my girlfriend, which is in long term and age of my relationship with them. And when you said that I was like that man, this will literally connected everything from walking his dog. And if you're doing that with that habit, I'm sure you're doing that with a lot of habits in your life, man. So what started that process of you kind of connecting everything and seeing how it can affect you in the long term?
spk_0: 36:00
And I'm just gonna jump in there, too. It is that you haven't Yemen, and then you fight with your girlfriend, right? And then because you fight with your girlfriend again and you're going to work, you don't have that same energy that you have. You don't have that team manager. You didn't get that sale your and get that appointment. So you come back home, you go to the gym afterwards because that's what I would do. Frustrated. So you don't get a good Jim. So then I say more awake, right, Because it's a pre workout. Are they worked that hard? I stay awake. I come here. I'm frustrated because I haven't fixed with my girlfriend. And then I started fixing stealing my girlfriend. That means I took away time from walking the dogs. And if I don't want the dogs and that they're going to stay awake parking invested way parking, then I mean, I can't see. Next thing you know, you just do the same shit for two weeks, and then you don't even realize it. So next. You know, it's been three months of your life being constant shit, all because you didn't want your goddamn dogs at one time. So every time you feel like you're not going to do something that they realize that that's gonna affect something else whether you like it or not and that something else is gonna connect itself. Um, So, yeah, I love doing that scenario two people, cause then they just get like a whoa. Okay, so then I can't miss it. Right? Unless you're consciously missing something. If you're consciously missing the gym because you have to help your mom do something in like she can do it on her own. Or you have to talk to your girlfriend, too, because then you gotta make sure you substitute it. But you're conscious about the substitution. No plan. And everything else stays the same. Okay, So just don't want people to feel like No, don't bother me. I remember, um, now, as far as where that started, that started back then, man. When I lost my job, I just realized like it's a trickle effect. It's a trickle effect. And actually, that job, that $30,000 drug where I was working at five stars like it humbled me down, man. Right. If I didn't make dials, I didn't get appointments. And I make appointments. I don't get itself. I didn't get in sale. I felt more broken. I put more, bro qualify with my girlfriend, so it was just more like, after months of being in that situation, I just looked back and I realized, like, Dude, everybody keep telling you have so much potential everybody. It is listening to this park. Half has probably heard someone tell him you have potential. You can be huge. But then I sat there and I was like, If everybody tells me that, what the hell, why can't I see it? And then I realized that's because I'm not acting like I have potential in that I think I deserve what I deserve. So I need to start taking actions. And that's when I realized one little habit. I remember I showed up to work One day I drink a bank and I just killed it. And I was I was like building one touch me. And I got, like, five appointments, appointments to turn into closest. There were good closes. I felt good about myself. So I will go back to my girlfriends like, Yeah, I feel good. Let's do this. And then, you know, you've had those days where you feel so good that you're like, I need to take this energy somewhere else when you go to the gym and then you hammer well, some really nice crows and some, you know, um, some leg presses or whatever you want to do. And then you came back home tired and you go down today. It was a good, damn day, and I realized when I had that day that I could literally It's afford me a lot. I had to do, was repeated the next day and repeated the next day and repeated the next day. But if I missed it for two or three days, I guess what? I'm back to my shit life again. And I didn't I don't want to do that anymore.
spk_1: 39:07
And I think I'm sure a lot of people are like, Oh, they're in sales, you know, they might not. The people listening might not be in business or sales, but that relates, I think so. Everything because I've been a customer service, you're gonna go in there, you're gonna provide a bad experience. If you're in health care, you're gonna go in then provided by experience for your patients. Because whatever's happening in you hear it all the time. I know coming from my background, I would tell everybody like a unfortunately life stays at the door like you can't bring that into the business. But realistically, how many people can do that? How many people can separate themselves professionally to what might be happening personally, it doesn't they normally blend, and so it's gonna affect. You might get fired in the long run. You might put yourself in a position where you get upset with your manager and you know, now your job's on the line, so everything's gonna just follow apart. So I think, like the way you break it down kind of shows you how to avoid that And make sure that you don't put yourself in a situation where everything's just falling apart of your days, kind of going to shit, you know?
spk_0: 39:59
Yeah. And again, everything affects everything. So, yeah, you put your you leave your personal life at the door. And even though you have that stressful guess what happens if you have a shitty day at work, you're gonna carry a back over outside. But if you have an excellent day at work, I've had those days where I haven't excellent day. And then I started thinking back on, Why the hell did I have such a bad morning? Why did I find with my girl, Boyd? I disagree with my parents when I get so frustrated about this life is freakin beautiful, like when you have that amazing day at work and then you just come back and then you turn around what affected you and then therefore tomorrow. You have a better morning. You have a better job, work day, and you have a better night, right? So then we'll forget. If you feel you can you get stuck, do something that's gonna that's gonna get you in that state of mind that it's going to get you super excited. That's gonna get you like happy, You know what I mean? And then you do that amazing job, and then guess what that energy is going to carry with you, And then that's gonna carry with you on the night of spirit, very with,
spk_1: 40:56
and I think I mean, all that relates also a lot to discipline. Right? Um, coming back. And we had another conversation, and we actually had a practice that you gave us that we did with a couple of other people that we've been talking to. And that practice was kind of to put yourself in a situation where you're thinking ahead, put yourself in a situation of how your decisions today are gonna affect you five years from now. So that discipline Why do you think you've been able to generate that? And why do you think? Ah, lot of people will rather choose gratification right now in the moment and not really think about how that would affect them long term. So habit is one thing. But when you start thinking about houses and affect me five years from now, I think that's a completely different game, because now you're really putting yourself in a position of what, what you want it to look like in the long term. So how has that came about for you?
spk_0: 41:44
Yeah, man. I mean, it's Here's something that I tell people are listening to so you can realize it. And this is weird because, like the exercise that we did, it's great because you guys already thinking that sense. But not everybody does. Have you really thought about it in the picture yourself back in 2014? Picture yourself back in 2010. Have you ever got in those Facebook memories where you're like, What the hell was I thinking? You look at where you're at now. You're like Holy shit. Five years ago, me three years ago, me one's weird, bro, or was so different than who I am right now. So then I started thinking what would happen if present me with a switch spots with past me and I would have thought the same and had the same habits like holy like. Imagine what I would look like right now and what I would be like and how much work I would have and health and where I would be. Now, I'm a huge believer that things happen for a reason, right? So I'm not going to stay like change your past or, you know, being mad at yourself because you made a mistake. Right Now get over there. It's in the passage is literally not really get over it. I'm going to say I just liked being like man. If I grew those three years like imagine what I can do in 2022 of I start right now like, man, I'm excited because I you know, that's why and the way I see it is, I you know, I put a lot of money for a lot of mentors, and I don't regret it one bit because these guys think long term, these guys already have their 2 to 3 year plan, but they don't do well in it, right? They don't get overwhelmed by their goal. They just have it so lined up, and then they just focus under every day because they know their everyday again. We'll fix this and then this and then this. And the next thing you know, five years from now, I'm already 31 then I'm sitting here like, Whoa, This all started when I was 25. Hold ship.
spk_1: 43:40
And I think what a lot of people don't realize is you can't create an action plan without a destination and so many people what you're saying, I just kind of trying to live in the moment, trying to take a day by day. You know where they might be thinking a month and events. And I just be looking forward to that expectation of the year. But I don't think they really take a lot of time to plan out and see what do I want it to look like more than anything because, like you're saying, it's it's what you're trying to create, right? It's not for sure. It's not guaranteed, but what do you do? Have an idea of what you want your future look like? Do you have an idea of what you want your life to look like I don't know if you get a chance to see, but what blows my mind sometimes and, um is a lot of these entrepreneurs say, like he had a young age. I wrote what type of business I was gonna have. I wrote what type of house I was gonna have. I even heard one person say I wrote how my wife is gonna look and fast forward 5 10 years. A lot of that stuff that they wrote down happened, you know, they pictured it on and they were able to figure out a way to get there. So do you think that has a lot to do with their visualizing it and trying to, in a sense, that you're trying to keep yourself motivated to achieving it
spk_0: 44:45
100%? You know, it's like they say, like whether you think it's God or the universe or what it is that you believe in, You know, it's if you put it forward. If you have a vivid imagination of it, it will come and it will manifest itself into what you want it to be. But here's the thing A lot of people listening to is a lot of people get pushed back when they start thinking like, Oh, I gotta meditate. And I got that, like, manifest things. And then they start getting weird, right? Like, Oh, that's all. That's what these entrepreneurs say. And because there's so many of them now, like you can let it go in. You too, Boo boo instagram. And you got those fake ass insolence is that Do it And then they did not actually do anything. So it's kind of like, ah, like a blueberry area, right? Those that really figure out how to be self aware and meditate and manifest and, you know, really write it down. Great. They do achieve it. Those that don't I wanna, you know, about you guys to even imagine something small. It doesn't have to be you being a millionaire with your perfect wife with your perfect business. It could be I see myself with a pair of keys because I got my first home. Not, I mean, don't have to picture the exact home, the more you again when you focus on him better because if you really manifested. But if you're really hearing this and you don't believe that yet and take baby steps. You don't have to get pushed into that Take baby steps. So if you see yourself getting ah, home right, then just make that your goal. And then you break that back down right to your action plan that becomes my credit score. Putting something. If you're gonna put it into a down payment, you don't have to, but you can write credit, score down payment. Am I gonna share that home with somebody, right? What do I want to do in that home? How much money do I need to be in that home? Then you released back to your job to perform into your relationship. Writes it all again. It all interconnects itself. But if you can't manifest it in a high level like a lot of the entrepreneurs can millionaires the manifested in a tiny level. What do I want by the end of the year? Really picture vividly, vividly, vividly. And then from here on, take actions towards
spk_1: 46:52
One thing I want to touch on that you said, is you're gonna get pushed back. And I think what one thing that people fail to realize is that it's your life and a lot of the times you let outside sources, you let the noise that you're hearing influence your life. But I had one friend and I was actually, it's funny because it was about me dating a girl. And this will always stick with me because the relationship wasn't going good. I was kind of in like, Nah, man, I was going back, and, um, I was going back and away from her type of thing, you know? We're breaking on up enough. And then he said something like, You know what, man? This is my what I think of the situation. But at the end of the day, you're the one that's gonna live with it. So you make that decision and I think that fits into so many things, cause, Like like you said, if someone gives you push back under the day, If you feel like you need to do certain things to better your life, why should someone else tell you not to do it? Or why should someone else influence you to kind of, um do go the traditional route and just play it safe, you know?
spk_0: 47:48
Yeah, 100. Like I know I keep saying 100%. But that's because I genuinely agree with, like everything that you're saying. And is there something quote every time someone unless it's someone, for example, unless it's a person that you look up to that senior mentor and then he tells you, Hey, man, don't go down that road. You might want to take that serious because he probably went through it. So don't question everybody but question almost everybody at the same time. So I know that sounds kind of weird, but, you know, it's interesting what I noted and is what I've noticed when the people that have tried to hold me back with the people that have told me is like, Then you have to go work out every day home, have a beer with us, a man. You don't have to read that book, bro. What the hell are you doing? Investing $5000 into a system? I tell you who people are. People have told me, don't invest $5000 or $2000 or keep putting yourself in. Investing for it are the people that invested in something that they didn't go through with it. So now they see it as that rather than themselves actually going through it until they quit. So those are quitters. I don't want to listen to quitters, eggs and those people that tell me. Hey, man, come get a beer, then put the gym before us before your friends, which I'm sure everybody in this part guys has heard that before, right? Well, those friends have you looking on my game to you. Most of them are chubby. Most of, ah, don't work out. Most of them talk about how back in high school they played football and they were super big, another super fit. But now they're not, and they keep living in the past. That's because these people have quit to what they're trying to do, which is why they're going to try to hold your back so you can stay with right. So if you're hearing this and you feel like that, then I challenge you to not grow with your group but outgrow your group. And if they want to grow with you, great. And if they don't as John, you're going someone that does wanna grow with you. And the next thing you know, you're meeting every Monday and discussing things to make sure that you guys can keep each other accountable, you know? So, yeah,
spk_1: 49:49
and that's and one thing, it's it's okay to grow out of that group. Um, I know, looking back, thankfully, a lot. I'm so close to a lot of friends. But I also understand that there started friends that I might not be able to have conversations like this. Sir, they started friends that might not be able to contribute some of the ways that I think. I think we've all heard it. And I'm sure you've heard it. Like why you trying so hard, or why Why don't you take a break from it or, you know, settle it like you should settle down and didn't just try. You should be happy with where you're at in life at the moment. But to me, I mean, since being at a young age, it was kind of like, you know, like I've always wanted that next it Every time I got him promoted, it was always like, Okay, what's the next step? I could have literally just got in moved to that position, but I'm already thinking, okay. What six months? Gonna look like from now. And throughout that process, I've had a lot of people like, bro. Just be happy. Throw, like, just understand where you're at and be happy about that promotion. But my mind's never worked like that. But I can tell you that it did slow me down a lot, having those noises around me trying to tell me to two step it down or knocking down a notch
spk_0: 50:48
100 men. I got loved. I love they said that because everybody goes through that and it's so hard to outgrow it. It's so hard or grow it. But when you do, it's the best feeling ever. And you know what? I'm stuff happening when you won't grow them, and then you start getting fit or you start making money. Restart, following your dreams gets up. Those people are gonna do. They're gonna come ask you. Hey, man, what are you doing? What did you do differently? And then you're gonna have to tell your story, and that's gonna inspire them. And then you get to create change, and then they might or might grow with your they might not, right. But now I get so many people reach out to me and they asked for help because not because I'm a millionaire. Not, but because they know my parents. They know who I used to be and they've seen the growth. And now I can go and share what I know and get them up with me Now I can pull them up with me. So don't be scared about pro people, man.
spk_1: 51:38
And if you're listening to this and for any reason, you might not relate because I know we're more on the business side were more on sales in that type of industry. But you find people you relate to, and I think angels a great point to that. You could reach out to, in a sense, that luckily, the way you're studying, you're breaking down the way people think. And the way people behave is you're breaking it down to the science of habits, and that's something that relates to everybody. And that's something that everybody can implement in their life. But I wanna I wanna kind of dig into this because at the beginning of the podcast, you said since I was little, you know how I am and that related to you being gone. So was that drive that you had something that you you have pretty much that you knew since you since you were little, that you wanted to be something or was something that you kind of had to channel into the right direction as you grew.
spk_0: 52:27
No, I I'm not gonna say that because no, I didn't say Like, I want to be a consultant. I want to be a coach to people. That's not something that crossed my mind. I think I wanted to be a lawyer, and then I when it does, I don't know. I don't even remember what I was thinking back then. Um, what I didn't know, though, is that there was a class next to my class, all talking English, all reading books in English. And what I did know is that I wanted to be like them, that I wanted to read English. I wasn't going to be the guy that had to be in a special class that fuck like What the fuck is that? What is that? What does that mean? Where are we Should all be together if you need a suit, talk English. They were gonna go in learning is that simple? You need us to go do math at your level. There's going to map out your level. Like what? You know, like the hose are gonna hold me back. So I don't think it was like me knowing where I wanted to be when I was little, it was me knowing that I was not gonna fall behind and I was gonna show all these peeps that I could that I could pretty much suck up to them.
spk_1: 53:27
But looking back, I mean, when you think about it and kind of the way I would see that is you had it since young that you wouldn't be a victim of your environment. And I'm sure there was a lot of people that might have been in that class with you. That kind of just went along with it. And you know what I mean? At a young age, you might not be able to think, um, completely for yourself or completely know about what you're trying to accomplish. But you already knew that. Hey, like, there's no reason why I need to be stuck here. And you already have that drive to try to pursue something better even at at an elementary level, you know?
spk_0: 53:58
And that's what's so That's where I actually wanted to say, like, again so far. Where is key, right? Like I I figured it out. I got English, I went to regular classes. But then I lost myself there, Um, which is where I learned a lot, too. Now that I think about it, I try to become the jock where I try to become the popular kid. And then all that took me is it took me back into being a quote, a quote victim for say, like, with all the bowling, right? And so, like, yes, I did it right to be like them. But then being like them wasn't me. And I got bullied because I was trying to be them. That makes sense. And so that's when I went down a bad path that I got bully for a couple years until I found myself back in the junior in high school, something like eighth grade to junior in high school. I was like, Whoa and I did get a group spur. So I began. I got, like, 595 10 and I was like, Okay, What's up? The guy, you know, I got talk and then that's when I found myself. I found dancing. I found friends. I found who I was, and then I was like, Oh, shit like, this is cool, You know what I mean? So I think it's part of a man like I could have stayed as a victim and being the guy that literally gets building and doesn't get out of it. Or I could have been I could be the guy that just Israel with himself and enjoys his last two years of high
spk_1: 55:16
school perfect man. And I think that's an important part of trying to figure yourself. Try and understand. I typically tell a lot of people, and especially the people that have had a chance to interview so far is that I think your childhood, or those years kind of tell you a lot about who you are because sometimes you get lost like you said. But you're able to find if you really look back and reflect on a lot of the experiences you have, I think you able to find things that truly made you happy that truly, you know, inspired you and because, like everybody goes through, everybody's trying to be like everybody. You try to adjust yourself, we could fit in. And in that process you might moves who you really are as a person.
spk_0: 55:53
And with that I just want to make a disclaimer here. I don't want people to hear what you just said, which is like your press, You know, the find seriously here Because then you get those people, man, that can't go the goddamn past. And in the act, like bit stones like they were literally like, Oh, that's just who I am Because when I was three and my mom didn't bottle feed me or my mom, you know that. No, no, bro, stop your life experiences when you were young, definitely shape the way you can think or the way you can see the world. But that doesn't mean that's who you are. So I just want to make that clear, right? Like now that I look back, the fact that I went from Let's read a book in English and can't trip to them rather than act like the victim and not only stick to Spanish because I see so many people do that. You know, like if you need me to talk English, I want a master English, right? I look back at it now and is not who I was, but it's they an area in my life that I realize shoe, if I became an equal there and I fought for that, I could do the same right now. So make sure you don't confuse it as the past is me. You know, that's your past in shape while you see things. But who you really are is up to you, your character. You know, it's not something you get from your parents. Your character is not something you get from your past. Your character is what you wake up every day to fight for. If I wanna be the guy, that's that you know, the guy that fit that people can look up to then or that you know, the stronger than if I based it off my past. I used to get bullied and I was the little kid. So no, I can't be said for that. I gotta wake up tomorrow and say, I'm blessed. Let's do this. That's attacked the life and let's be the guy that I want to be. That's, you know, I just want to make sure I clarify that because, God damn it, so many people use Well, that's my past. And that's who I am. No, bro, No, ma'am, you are who you are because you wake up every day. You're just not to fight, and you choose to be that lazy motherfucker that doesn't do anything. But if you're ready to change your life and wake up tomorrow and say I'm not that guy, I'm not that girl. And I guarantee you're not gonna be that person. Sorry, I hate that. That's I hate excuse makers, especially from the past. So yes, use it as a learning experience is the way you see the world. But please wake up every day and fight for it if you really want it.
spk_1: 58:07
I love that you say that cause I do think a lot of people need to hear that. And I think, like you said, a lot of people do kind of saying that mindset that they're not gonna be able to break some of the habit. Is there some of the situations Aaron, Because they just felt like they've been like that so long I was I was also kind of referred to, in a sense, so close. Like, for example, myself Looking back, I was put down the path where I thought I was gonna be a physical therapist because that's kind of I was told by my family that, hey, he's gonna be the first doctor. He's gonna be the 1st 1 to do this. He's gonna be in the house field. That was kind of pushed in that direction, right? Same thing after that wasn't going so good. I was told, Hey, you should be a cop in what? I was reading a lot of my outside influence for you. But for me, looking back to the ages and kind of like the experiences that you did, I've always had a knack for business, you know, like when I was little, I had little businesses I was set up by. What's lt used to sound movies in the schools and things like that. But he never really clicked. So now, at this age, kind of looking back and experience like seeing what I learned and I can reflect on that, I notice that Hey, you know what as a kid you just always been attracted to How can you make money? How can you figure out a way to make more income? So that was where was impacted to me was that I had that skill and I would have known that I'm being self aware at that age, I would have been able to build a lot more on that compared to letting myself get taken out, trying to fit in, trying to feel like I do to do what society thought I should do and then lose a couple of years like you said. But I'm grateful for it taught me a lot, but I would have been, in a way, better place About what? I've understood who I was at that age on dhe when I was actually trying to chase.
spk_0: 59:34
Exactly. I want your feet once you're self aware men and you look back at it. You're like, Oh, man, like that's true. I was like this. I have been doing this. I I was, you know, again, if you use it as a way to go back and see like your silence. Oh, sure, been selling something. I was young like, how come. I never realized that I did that. Why did I pursue doctor? Whatever shook up. But that's after you. You know, you got some for wearing. You took steps and you became what you are, right. And then you get to build on. I don't want someone to hear what you said either and then say, you know well, I I lost 40 years. I lost 30 years. So now I'm not gonna do shit. You didn't lose your years. Those years let you become who you war now again. Don't forget. Like they shaped who you are in the way you see life and now you get to again get better from it
spk_1: 1:0:21
and beautiful part. I mean, obviously you don't want to wait so long, but it's never too late to start. And I think at any point, if you realized OK, it's time to make a change. And you really want to make the change. They'll never feel like it's too late to start. So that's cool, man. I think that was a good part that people are gonna take both sides of that and kind of really try to see how they can implement it. in their life. So
spk_0: 1:0:40
if you don't believe it, go to Steve Her, I think looks like Steve Harvey's. Ah, life. Jeff was like, There's a lot of people that started like a step Steve Harvey was like sleeping in his car to know like it has to be less than 10 years ago. I can't remember that is definitely less than 10 years. Like he was literally home listener. He got a shot and I look at him, But again it's You can make it. You can make it. So if you're hearing this and you feel like you have it or you can't because you already wasted time, don't devalue your training ground. Just go from where you're again. Wake up tomorrow and say, You're gonna do it and you'll be surprised
spk_1: 1:1:14
Don't Men so had a lot of fun in this conversation. We're getting pretty close here to the end, so I just want to talk on the last two topics and kind of just one of the things that we talked about a lot of self awareness and I think self awareness is difficult because that's when you're really true to yourself. And I mean we hear it all the time. The voice you hear the most is yourself, you know, And when it comes to self awareness, you need to be able to control that voice for it to be positive. But in order for you to get there, it's really looking at yourself not being biased. Like you said, not tryingto look at yourself that what you think you should be, but kind of really seeing what's there. So how would you recommend people do that? Cause it's a scary thing it might be You might be dealing with a drug addiction problem. You might be dealing with an alcohol problem that ah lot of the world might not know. But you internally no, you might. You might be dealing with the Depression problem. There's a lot that you could be dealing with that you might not wanna face. And a lot of that in order for you to be able to put get better at it and become self aware is understanding that you're gonna have to fix him with those things. So what would be your advice for something that may be struggling to try toe, really Take a look at themselves to try to get going on the right path.
spk_0: 1:2:21
Yes, there's a few things I would say you can do. Um, the easy one was an easy one, but the good one is I mean, the first way. If you feel like the president, you're turning into drugs. Please get help like there isn't put again. Remember, get realistic. Put your ego to the side and figure out what three things you need to do to get yourself better. 1st 1 is getting help in the simple, um, one that I love. That they always explained to me is, Get yourself in a good state. So when I mean good state is, for example, if you think a lot, you don't know how to get out of your dot Move your body, you know, do some jumping jacks. You know there's some, like running place. Get your body pumping, get a happy dance, and then your mind tends to follow where your body does. So you get yourself into the physical state. Then there reflects into a mind state. And then what I do is he has your thoughts are killer. Just so you guys know your thoughts are not you talking a lot of the times, and as you're talking yourself, you're trying to figure it out is just frickin information and just thoughts that come right. And it could be previous things that you've experienced, things that you've dreamt, things that you've gone through, things that you heard it just again. They just come. So I like what I like to do is make sure that when you're in ST right down, you want to be what you want to do what you want accomplished. You seen those people, you know, you go to a conference, you talk to your friends, have a great competition, write down your goals, write down what you want to do what you want to become, and then when you're out of state because you are gonna get sad, you are gonna life is gonna hit you. You carry around that little piece of paper or you have that wallpaper on your bone and you remind yourself where you said in ST right, So you want to make sure that you actually make a commitment to the person that created that's which is your in state so and make sure that you don't you know, make it a transaction thing when and when I feel good, I do it when I don't feel good. I don't do it. So I guess to keep it all short get you write it down And whenever your thoughts coming your head. And they're not the thoughts that you have before And they're bad things, right? They're not really things they're just backing that your mind put Remind yourself who you told yourself you were. You are and where you wanna be. So that's that's a huge one. Don't let your thoughts take you in a and the weird direction, man, because your thoughts get deeper and deeper and deeper. And then when you really think about it, you realize that their first in my country there's not even really My guess is you made it up and your mind made it up. So again, get in state right now who you are, who you wanna be, what actions you gotta take. Be really honest to that, right? And then whenever you feel sad, whenever you feel stressed and you feel you're gonna break that go read that little piece of paper
spk_1: 1:5:03
spot on, man and I think I was reading somewhere that, um our biggest stress come from thoughts that haven't happened yet. And like you said, man, you go down that rabbit hole, and if you haven't trained yourself to realize the way you're thinking, the way you're processing things and you're not able to stop it and the you've next thing you know you're creating all the scenarios. You're worrying about things that haven't even happened yet and it's just it's pointing the stress that you're causing yourself. So I like
spk_0: 1:5:28
it and then, like some of them have it said right. Then you get stressed, and then your stress that you go quote your comfort food, which for me is wing stup You go and you get your comfort food. And then that means that you pretty much didn't end up working out for you. Count directed. You're working out, you don't get results and then you don't get results. You get sad because you're working out with no results, and then when you do that, then you stop working out and start working out. Then you can't sell that Good, because you don't feel good so you don't sell good if you do that, then you don't have enough to pay your bills. And the next thing you know, you're stressing about bills and you're stressing about bills and the night boom, and then everything connects is so all because a thought that I was in Rio popped into your head. You went down that path months later. You broke everything that you told yourself you were gonna
spk_1: 1:6:09
do, sweet man. And then last one, because I think this is your specialty. It's gonna be. So are you hear it all the time. The way you do the small things is the way you do all things. A lot of times, if you're skipping those small things ran it, gentlemen, that you're not gonna be able to be productive in the bigger test in your life. So what's your last advice minute? What would you want everybody to take away when it comes to habits and how important they are for your life?
spk_0: 1:6:34
I love this one. Um, you know how everybody says practice makes perfect?
spk_1: 1:6:39
Yes, sir.
spk_0: 1:6:40
You know, that's completely bullshit. I hope so. Because I know how I practice isn't always how I perform. Right. Um So here's one thing. Don't say practice makes perfect. That's perfect. Practice makes perfect. Not breakfast. Makes perfect. Perfect practice. Makes perfect. So with that being said, like anything you do, if I decide to take my girlfriend to dinner, then I'm gonna do that perfectly. And I'm gonna put my phone away, and I'm gonna give my hurt my undivided attention. If I go to the gym, I'm gonna be work. I'm gonna have my workout later, or I'm gonna be there, feel the way, take the way. And if I'm gonna go to work, I'm gonna think of work. And I'm gonna make sure I get that appointment. Get that sale than be there for my client, right? And then if I'm gonna come back home and be with my daughters, I'm gonna walk my dogs because you know what I mean. Like, practice things perfectly. The next thing you know, you're going to be doing things perfectly and again. I don't mean perfect. Like this angle needs to be perfect. My stepping needs to be the same. No, I don't mean like that. Like a perfectionist. Everything. I mean, if I literally role play like a badass, my goal. Sit like a bad as then I'm gonna sell like about it. Then I'm gonna actually hit Michael's. Like about us, that makes sense of perfect practice. Makes perfect. So every nothing you do it right,
spk_1: 1:8:02
sweet man, That's once again spot on answer. Man. I think everybody's gonna be able to take quite a bit from this. I think this was really huge on the way you think? But most importantly, seem that a man, the way you attack some of these small things is going to be crucial in the way you're trying to do what you're trying to accomplish in life. But most importantly, also understanding what you're trying to hit. Don't just kind of went winging it and swinging for the fences. But sit down, create a plan, Know how you're gonna attack it and start like you say with that foundation and really build up with. So I appreciate you being on man. I think everybody's gonna take a lot of value. I think you provided some great information throughout this fan, and I just want to give you one last chance. Find anything you want to let everybody know?
spk_0: 1:8:41
Yeah. So I'm actually ah, beginning you know, You know, I'm not not there yet, but I'm definitely starting my, my, you know, program and the and And, you know, I want to start coaching people on the habit, especially a specialty. Right? So I'm not gonna go and help you with that trombone for chilling because of letter psychiatrist. But I will fire you up to make sure you wake up tomorrow. Excited. So what I want to do is I want to make sure that anybody that's hearing this you have access to me. You know, that's usually how every story started trying. You helped so many people. And then eventually you can put a price tag on it. But right now, what I want to do is I just want to help people. And so because of that passion, man, if anybody feels like they feel stuck especially if you're in the 95. If your ah NIU entrepreneur and you just feel stuck, man, you try to work out, you'll see results. You do this, you don't get it right again. Everything's interconnected. Shoot me a text. Tell me. Hey, I heard you in John's podcast. Um, you know, put the title of the park as if you want, but text me and 915887914 400 few with my putting it on the description. Man, I'm okay with that. Also, follow me on Instagram Angel. There's 202 e's A N g e Uh, underscore this. I will be changing it soon. So get to the best Jimmy a GM. Add me on Facebook Angels and the one Soto's Shoot me a message. Give me a call. Pretty much what I'm trying to say is, if you really want a level yourself up, if you really want to start the right habits that you just haven't found it within yourself to do it. I am here with an open cell phone with an open soon call like we always do and an open heart man. I just wanna help some people out.
spk_1: 1:10:19
I appreciate that, and I can vouch for Angel has mentioned. We've been talking probably for about two months. I would say on definitely helped me. I thought I was pretty already had a pretty ambitious mindset, but once again you kind of helped me put a plan together. Make sure that I wasn't just trying to attack it without really knowing what I was gonna do. But knowing that this is what I need to start first, this is what I need to accomplish next is that we've been a help. And I think anybody that is struggling with Taser feels like maybe they don't have someone good in the corner. Just like I said, A lot of times you might have good people, but they just not might have not have the experience to provide you for the next level. You, an individual like games was definitely gonna help for you to try to achieve the next step. All
spk_0: 1:10:58
right, Something's you're having me,
spk_1: 1:11:00
sweet guys, and thank you for everybody for tuning in.
