Thank you all.
SPEAKER_00: We love it.
SPEAKER_03: Yep.
Yep.
But anyway, so you just want to
jump into the topic today, or
you don't seem as talkative this
morning.
SPEAKER_00: No, I'm just letting
the energy build.
Letting it build.
Yeah, I'm ready.
SPEAKER_03: Your red eye?
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
SPEAKER_03: You hitting the red
eye today.
SPEAKER_00: Well, what does that
mean?
SPEAKER_03: I don't even know
what that means.
They always say the red eye is
like that five o'clock in the
morning flight or something.
I don't know.
SPEAKER_00: I thought the red
eye was your butthole.
SPEAKER_03: Um, well, I I I
guess if you it's not?
No.
Have you seen have you seen that
TikTok video of where the girl's
at the doctor's office and she
the doctor walks in and she
says, What's your problem today?
And he she said, I don't know.
It just down there it hurts when
I poop.
And uh went or how did she word
it?
SPEAKER_00: I don't have TikTok.
SPEAKER_03: Oh what did she say?
Um how did they word it?
She said uh she said uh uh Oh
something anyway, I don't know.
It was something about entrance.
Any anytime something goes in
there it hurts.
And he said, Well, that's what
happens.
You gotta change the traffic
pattern because I you change the
traffic pattern, it's gonna
start hurting.
It's gonna hurt, or something
like that.
It was pretty funny.
It was a good TikTok about the
red eye.
Yeah, you'll probably cut that
out, I'm sure.
But anyway.
SPEAKER_00: We'll see.
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
SPEAKER_00: I'll feel I truly I
did.
I thought the red eye meant I
didn't know it was a plane
reference.
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it's a plane
reference.
SPEAKER_00: I thought it was a
booty hole reference.
SPEAKER_03: It's a reference
about the flights.
SPEAKER_00: But I never
understood it either way, so I
never knew what it meant.
Nice.
So that whole conversation you
had with that cricket button.
SPEAKER_03: So you you I have to
I have to I have to ask this
question.
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
SPEAKER_03: I remember when we
were talking to that former boss
of that one company.
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
SPEAKER_03: And he said to you,
I don't know, I'm catching a red
eye in the morning.
SPEAKER_00: Uh-huh.
SPEAKER_03: You thought he was
catching a butthole?
SPEAKER_00: I thought he was
making like a sexual reference
of, you know, maybe doing
something freaky peaky.
SPEAKER_03: That is that that
defers.
I mean, that really deserves
this.
What?
SPEAKER_00: I thought that's
what that meant this whole time.
SPEAKER_03: And so, yeah, when
he was talking about that, I
didn't know that he was talking
about the airplane because I've
never I it I never have so when
when uh our former direct boss
said I came in on the red eye
this morning, you thought the
same thing.
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I thought that
it meant he it was an innuendo
that he had gotten like some
really good sex that morning or
something.
And I was like, okay, we're just
gonna roll with it, whatever.
I guess if you want to be an
oversharer this morning and tell
me your business, I guess so.
What does it mean when in a
referred to the airplane thing?
What does that mean?
SPEAKER_03: The red eye means a
like a five o'clock in the
morning flight.
Like your red, your eyes are red
because you just woke up.
SPEAKER_00: I got it.
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
SPEAKER_00: Like when you first
get up out of the bed and you
kind of have that bloodshot eye
look and they call that the red
eye flight.
SPEAKER_03: I believe it's a 5
a.m.
flight, it's called the red eye
flight.
SPEAKER_00: Uh I was today years
old.
SPEAKER_03: Because also in
aeronautical scheduling, that's
the last flight of the pilot is
coming in at 5 a.m.
So that's also another reference
to it.
Uh they've been on a long shift,
they've been flying eight hours
or whatever it is, and they're
tired and their eyes are red.
SPEAKER_00: Wow.
This whole time in my life at 50
something years old, I thought
it meant something to do with
the booty hole.
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, that's pretty
funny.
SPEAKER_00: So anytime somebody
talked about the red eye, I
thought they were making like a
sexual reference or a sexual
annuendo.
SPEAKER_03: That would be called
the brown eye, by the way, just
so you know, not the red eye.
SPEAKER_00: So technically,
being a GI nurse in my
adventures as nursing, not to be
too graphic, but sometimes the
booty hole does have a pink tint
to it.
And so I could see where I could
correlate red eye with you and
pink and booty hole.
SPEAKER_03: I I can see where
you and maybe two or three other
people in the entire world could
confuse that.
SPEAKER_00: What do you say?
You're the dumbest smart person
I've done.
SPEAKER_03: You are the dumbest
smart person I've ever met.
It's pretty funny.
But hey, it's a great leeway
into our topic today.
SPEAKER_00: Really?
SPEAKER_03: It is.
SPEAKER_00: Wow.
I haven't a unique ability to do
that, even on quirky uh learning
opportunities.
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, you know,
because the the how it is
similar to the topic today.
Do tell is how we can very
easily confuse words for other
things that we do in our
reality.
SPEAKER_00: Or give things
multiple definitions.
SPEAKER_03: Or give things
multiple definitions.
SPEAKER_00: Or apply our own
definitions when we don't have
enough information.
SPEAKER_03: Yes.
And that's one of the big things
is we have a tendency to apply
our beliefs to things that are
said to us.
Instead of actually creating the
proper belief, you'll just take
a existing belief and tag it to
it.
unknown: Ah.
SPEAKER_03: And because our our
coffee talk this morning is what
prompted this thought.
SPEAKER_00: Yes.
SPEAKER_03: Because, you know,
we were talking this morning, we
were talking about energetic
flow and how people the number
one or the number two topics in
the spiritual metaphysical world
for people to focus on is
abundance and happiness.
And they always label 99% of the
time is abundance as money.
SPEAKER_00: Right.
I agree with that.
SPEAKER_03: And so then they
create these beliefs.
So for example, um the one this
morning that happened.
SPEAKER_00: On my part.
On your part, 100%.
It was me working through some
money stuff.
Checking on some things.
What I brought to the table this
morning a coffee talk was how do
I determine if I am releasing
attachment to a material item or
if I am still running with a
self-sacrifice template.
I was kind of feeling around in
the frequency for my own self
just to make sure.
Because there was a time in my
life where I lived very much
from a self-sacrifice template,
and I did a lot, a lot of work
over the years to make sure I
cleaned that up.
SPEAKER_03: And a good example
of that is how single moms,
single dads, single parents will
do things that they like uh your
example was you started the
cleaning company years ago.
Yeah.
And you took your chemicals out
from underneath your cabinet in
your kitchen and went and
started a cleaning company with
those chemicals.
SPEAKER_00: Right.
SPEAKER_03: When those are
chemicals you could have used to
clean the house for your kids.
You know, you were trying to
create more income and more
abundance, but in your mind, you
were tagging that as a sacrifice
because you're giving away your
time to go make more money for
your kids.
And that's what I don't know.
SPEAKER_00: I mean, if I was, I
was doing it unconsciously.
Well, I'm just using the at the
time I didn't say, Oh my god,
I'm not gonna have any dish soap
to wash the dishes for my own
family.
And that's not how it played
out.
SPEAKER_02: Right.
SPEAKER_00: I didn't leave us
without cleaning products to
clean the my own personal space.
SPEAKER_03: Right.
Well, that's what that's where I
was going with that, is how it
kind of ties together to where
we will create our own
definition of things.
And including, like, for
example, um what's a good
example?
Uh a good example of that is
when people sell things.
So they sell something in their
reality.
SPEAKER_00: You know, um, like I
we just recently it's okay to
use the examples like the jet
skis.
Yep.
Um you'd you would talk to me
about uh I was toggling around
at one point selling them of
gosh, why do I have to sell my
toys even if I'm not completely
ready to sell it?
Because I may want to play with
it again somewhere along the
way.
And it felt like self-sacrifice
at the time, uh, because it sat
in the toy box for several,
several months.
Yeah.
I I I would say probably a year
since we'd been on them.
And it for a minute felt like I
was that child at home again
that said, Okay, you haven't
played with this toy.
Christmas is a good thing.
Let's keep everything.
Let's dump the toy box out, and
you have to pick five items, and
everything else has to go.
And I'm like, Well, I wasn't
done playing with that, I just
wasn't playing with it at the
time.
SPEAKER_02: Right.
SPEAKER_00: That was part of
what I was taught as a child, as
you know, self-sacrificing.
Why can't I have both?
Why can't I have all of my toys
because I'm not done with them?
And so it was tangled up with
what felt like self-sacrifice.
Right.
That's what it grew into.
Well, and the other side of that
was as we were so tangled up in
why can't I have more than one
thing at a time?
So there was a lot of work
around that that I had to do.
SPEAKER_03: Well, yeah, and this
is where a lot of people go
wrong, is because we actually
got rid of the jet skis to to
get the motor home so we could
actually build our business.
SPEAKER_00: And well, and I
think you described it in the
best way this morning for me.
Yeah.
And it was not the fact that I
was sacrificing and couldn't
have that toy, it was the fact
that you sold them while the
return on the investment was
high.
SPEAKER_03: Yes.
SPEAKER_00: That was what helped
me understand why we did what we
did.
It wasn't because you couldn't
have the toy, it wasn't because
you can't have another one.
It was just that that particular
version of that was coming to
the end of a beneficial exchange
rate to make more worker
dollars.
SPEAKER_03: I mean, we made
$9,000 out of those.
And and Ren wrote them for a
year and a half.
unknown: Yeah.
SPEAKER_03: Two years, whatever
they were.
SPEAKER_00: Because there comes
a time, what you were explaining
this morning that made sense to
me is all material things come
to a point where their return
depreciates.
SPEAKER_03: Oh, yeah, completely
100%.
SPEAKER_00: Didn't I hadn't put
all that together in my mind
until this morning.
SPEAKER_03: Right.
SPEAKER_00: And it just kind of
felt like, gosh, you're taking
all my damn toys away.
Why can't I keep that?
Why can't I have that and that?
SPEAKER_03: Right.
It's not about having that and
that, is it all?
And that's what this is where
the our our listeners probably
this is where abundance gets
confused.
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
SPEAKER_03: Um I'm excited about
it.
Because it does it does not
matter, no matter how much money
you have.
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
SPEAKER_03: In your life, it
does not matter.
Been on both sides of this
fence.
I've had I've had a ton of
money.
SPEAKER_00: Uh-huh.
SPEAKER_03: And then I've had no
money.
SPEAKER_00: Right.
SPEAKER_03: But there's never
been a time in my life, and and
I learned this through multiple
of my friends when I was at the
highest point of my career.
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
SPEAKER_03: Of how they operate
and how they work.
Um, you know, and I used the
example this morning of the
whatever the prince of the buy
that just sold his billion
dollar yacht for like 900
million.
SPEAKER_01: Right.
SPEAKER_03: And everybody was
giving a hard time for throwing
away 100 million.
SPEAKER_01: Right.
SPEAKER_03: And it it's the fact
of the boat was at his age.
It was at its age where it was
going to start depreciating
rapidly.
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
SPEAKER_03: And so he wanted to
sell it while he could.
SPEAKER_00: Right.
And and for me, that this
morning's talk was just really
epiphanal, and it gave me a
whole different viewpoint on
getting rid of my toys out of
the toy box.
Because this is right to get rid
of them.
SPEAKER_03: This is where the
the people seem to think things
this.
And this is a grandiose,
grandiose perception that people
have of wealth.
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
SPEAKER_03: That when you have
wealth, you have everything in
the world that you have, you
have all this stuff at your
exposure.
Expos what is it?
Exposure.
Exposure.
You have all this stuff exposed
to you.
You can own everything in the
world that you want to have.
SPEAKER_00: Uh-huh.
SPEAKER_03: And you're going to
hang on to those forever.
And so people that are in the
middle class, though, you know,
the higher class or even lower
class, they have a tendency to
hoard things.
SPEAKER_00: Right.
SPEAKER_03: They keep on to
things.
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
SPEAKER_03: And all you're doing
is stifling abundance when you
do so.
Because maximizing return of
everything is what smart people
do.
That's not what wealthy people
do.
SPEAKER_00: Uh-huh.
SPEAKER_03: Wealthy people they
do that already because they're
wealthy because they are
thinking about these things.
It's called intentional thought.
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
SPEAKER_03: They have the
intention of maximizing profit
and fun in the same place.
SPEAKER_01: Right.
SPEAKER_03: Like we paid$17,000
for the pair of jet skis with
the trailer.
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
SPEAKER_03: We sold them for
$28.9.
And wrote them for two years.
SPEAKER_00: Right.
SPEAKER_03: And so it was it's
maximizing profit.
And so that's where the
difference between sacrificing
things that people have a
tendency to label things when it
comes to abundance, they get it
confused.
SPEAKER_00: Right.
So if I could give you my
perception with me, the way I
was raised and what I'm cleaning
up right now is the fact that,
okay, you buy something, you
keep it forever until you get it
paid off, and then you no longer
have a payment associated with
it.
It's free and clear.
And then you still utilize it
and basically run it into the
ground until it doesn't drive or
utilize anymore.
And that's kind of like the
average person, average
consumer's way of thinking.
It's a trap.
Is I'm gonna buy this, I'm gonna
pay it off, and that's the whole
premise.
So now I have this thing, it's
paid for, now I can just use it
and utilize it anytime I want.
And what you taught me this
morning was something completely
different.
So I'm very excited about that.
SPEAKER_03: So the the that's
that's the trap.
And so like uh the financial
trap is when people have a
tendency to think that when
wealthy or rich people, which
they're all over the internet,
they say, you know, smart people
live on other people's money.
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
SPEAKER_03: They do.
But it's a trap because the
normal person when they go out
and finance a vehicle, their
goal is to pay that vehicle off.
SPEAKER_00: And still drive it.
SPEAKER_03: And still drive it.
And so now in this time, you've
taken I'm just gonna use a
twenty thousand dollar car.
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
SPEAKER_03: As an example.
So the if you're doing uh a
$20,000 car at five percent
interest, you're now paying um
what how much is that?
Uh five percent of of twenty
thousand is uh ten is that uh
thousand dollars a year in
interest.
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
SPEAKER_03: Is that right?
Yes, it's a thousand dollars a
year in interest.
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
SPEAKER_03: Now you've paid for
this at that's compounding
annual APR.
unknown: Okay.
SPEAKER_03: And so what that
you're paying a thousand dollars
a year.
So now at the end of a five-year
note, you have now paid
twenty-five thousand dollars to
the finance company for this car
that you paid twenty thousand
for.
SPEAKER_00: In interest.
SPEAKER_03: In interest.
And so at the end of the time
you pay it off.
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
SPEAKER_03: You are paid
twenty-five thousand dollars for
a twenty thy twenty thousand
dollar car because you pay the
interest to the finance company.
SPEAKER_00: And so you're saying
like the five thousand is the
interest and the twenty thousand
is the car.
SPEAKER_03: Correct.
Okay, so and now here's this is
where the trap comes into play.
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
SPEAKER_03: Because a lot of
people don't even realize this
that the majority of loans, 97%
of loans in this in the United
States, for the normal consumer,
for the first 12 months, you pay
nothing but interest payments.
So you're paying the interest up
front.
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
SPEAKER_03: And so you're paying
twenty you're paying that five
thousand dollars that's gonna be
paid off at the end of the note
of what everybody thinks in
their mind that you're gonna be
paying it across the course of
the time when you'll if you
actually stop and look, your
principal that goes towards the
original twenty thousand is
actually minus all of the
interest payments that would
have been made across the course
of the note.
And this is where everybody gets
confused because they think, oh,
I'm paying, I'm paying$500 a
month for my car, and my balance
should be going down.
Well, your balance doesn't go
down until the interest is paid
off.
I see.
That's when you'll see your
you're all of a sudden your
balance, so your payment goes.
And so now the vehicle has now
gotten an egg year older.
You've now putting more mileage
on it.
You're now doing all this stuff
that depreciates that value.
And so now at the end of that
first year or whatever it is,
because some notes go two or
three years before that you
start hitting the principal.
And I'm just gonna use the
one-year model for for a chance.
Now you have taken the twenty
thousand dollar vehicle and the
end of that first year that you
paid nothing but principal on,
that car is now worth$18,000.
SPEAKER_00: Oh, so it's
depreciated by two, but you
still owe$20, but you still owe
$20.
And so now you're in the whole.
SPEAKER_03: That's where you're
upside down.
That's where you don't get in
the negative or in the positive
for three years.
SPEAKER_00: Oh, I see.
SPEAKER_03: And so the
difference is is a lot of people
want to keep that car while it's
depreciating the entire time.
By the end of the note, that car
is worth five or six thousand
dollars.
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
SPEAKER_03: And so do you see
where the where you could have
gone and traded it in.
You sure could.
SPEAKER_00: While you were at
the top of that bell curve,
basically.
SPEAKER_03: Or or sold it
outright for the original price.
SPEAKER_00: Right.
And maybe not only recouped but
made some money on it.
SPEAKER_03: Correct.
Or you just have to watch the
market.
Like I I'm always watching the
market.
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
SPEAKER_03: Um, always watching
different things.
I I do it all the time.
I just will randomly look
through stores and shops and car
things, just randomly do it.
Because, like, for example, our
Jeep, our gladiator right now is
actually worth$8,000 more than
what we owe on it.
SPEAKER_00: Ooh, let's go trade
it in.
SPEAKER_03: But uh because we
bought it at a Black Friday
sale, so we got it five thousand
dollars off, plus the market is
up.
Gladiator production is down, so
it makes the value of the
gladiator go up.
SPEAKER_00: I see.
SPEAKER_03: And so that's what
people, smart people do.
That's why.
What the Prince of Dubai did
when he sold his yacht.
He knows that at the end of this
year, that yacht's going to be
worth 300, 300 million less than
what he sold it for.
And so that is where the the
trap is, is people don't
understand the energy flow, and
then they have a tendency to
create definitions behind it.
Because I guarantee you, anybody
that's listening thinks that a
the their first twelve months of
their payment they're they're
paying towards their principal
when they're not.
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
SPEAKER_03: At a very minimal
amount.
SPEAKER_01: Right.
SPEAKER_03: Because what they do
is they spread that out.
And so that's one of the
abundance traps.
SPEAKER_00: Well, for me, it was
getting to a place of releasing
attachment to stuff.
Yes.
And understanding a different
perspective about that.
So what brought this all about
for me was we have one of those
little doodads that you a quest.
Yes.
SPEAKER_03: Quest three for the
Oculus.
SPEAKER_00: Right.
And we've had it for a couple of
years.
I like playing with it.
I just haven't played with it in
a minute.
Uh probably about a year.
Yeah.
But I didn't necessarily, when
you came to me at first and you
said, okay, I'm going to sell
this.
I didn't.
SPEAKER_03: You said I'm not
going to, you're not going to
sell my doors.
SPEAKER_00: I didn't want to get
rid of my toy.
Even though I'm not playing with
it currently.
I have plans to take it back out
of the toy box and play with it.
SPEAKER_02: Right.
SPEAKER_00: And then I was like,
okay, it's fine.
Don't be attached to crap.
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
SPEAKER_00: You know, don't have
that attachment to it.
You haven't played with it in a
year.
So I had to kind of talk myself
out of that.
But it still felt not quite
aligned with a good feeling
energy.
SPEAKER_03: Well, we're building
energy for our for our trip.
So I mean for our trip, for our
work.
SPEAKER_00: That wasn't what it
was about for me.
I wasn't doing any of that.
I was trying to get to a place
of understanding the frequency
of am I still running a
self-sacrifice place and just
using word wizardry to make it
feel better inside of me.
Our talk this morning made me
realize that you're not selling
it because I'm not playing with
it.
No like what happened as a
child.
You're selling it because
there's a new product coming out
and it will lose its value if we
don't trade it and get ready to
upgrade.
So if I did want another one, I
you know me well enough to know
at some point I'm gonna say, Oh,
I want the new version of this.
Yes.
And so why not acquiesce the
maximum amount of money out of
it while it still has life and
viability on the market?
Correct.
I wasn't looking at it like
that.
SPEAKER_02: Right.
SPEAKER_00: I was looking at it
from a standpoint of why are you
making me get rid of my toys out
of my fucking toy box?
I am still playing with it.
I'm just not playing with it
right now.
SPEAKER_03: Right.
And so that's where the
intentional thought comes into
play.
So let me explain that to you.
When you like the Quest 4, we
actually had the Quest III with
the extended battery life.
We had a nice setup for
somebody, in which the guy that
bought it was ecstatic about it
for his him and his kids.
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
SPEAKER_03: Because his broke.
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
SPEAKER_03: And it was like not
repairable, he tried.
And and so he and his him and
his kids do it every weekend.
And so he was actually very
ecstatic to get this product
that I sold to him.
But over the course of the last
three months, because Meta has
re has uh submitted a release
that they are going to roll the
quest for August first.
Oh yeah.
And so I have watched our quest
three lose its value over the
course of the last since the
announcement.
SPEAKER_00: Uh-huh.
SPEAKER_03: Like it went from
five hundred bucks worth at at a
at that level to less than four.
Uh-huh.
Very rapidly.
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
SPEAKER_03: And so it was a
win-win situation to get rid of
it now, put the money back, and
when we get the new you can take
that money and apply it towards
the new quest that comes out,
because I know you like those
anyway, and it's going to be
fun.
And the games you liked weren't
even on there anymore.
SPEAKER_00: Right.
SPEAKER_03: Because they took
him off the server.
But and so I intentionally went
through the thought process and
figuring out what I was doing
with it.
And you then I then you had had
exposed to me that you were
labeling it as sacrifice.
SPEAKER_00: Well right.
And that was many days later.
Yeah.
And at first I was like, okay,
he's right.
I was still doing that childlike
uh justification of all right, I
haven't played with it in over a
year.
Uh what's the likelihood of me
taking it out and actually using
it in the next 30, 60, 90 days?
I did.
I went through this whole gamut
of crap.
I'm like, it's cold outside.
We live in a motor coach right
now.
There's really not any room
without killing yourself to play
with it.
It's too cold right now to go
outside and play with it.
It's probably gonna sit there
for another few months until it
warms up.
And so, all right, fine.
I will I will clean my toy box
out and I will let this thing go
and justifying it in my head,
but I was justifying it from a
whole different energy.
SPEAKER_02: Right.
SPEAKER_00: I was justifying it
and rationalizing it in my head
with what I just said.
SPEAKER_02: Right.
SPEAKER_00: I was like, all
right, am I gonna play with it?
Blah, blah, blah.
SPEAKER_02: Right.
SPEAKER_00: But what you brought
to the table was a very
epiphanal moment for me of
upgrade and um what did you call
it?
Still having equity in a product
or still having anything, yeah.
Value.
SPEAKER_03: People should be
looking at that constantly.
SPEAKER_00: Right, yeah.
So it was very eye-opening for
me.
SPEAKER_03: Maximize your your
stuff.
Yeah.
You know, um, and what what I
want everybody to notice behind
this is because this podcast is
about abundance and money.
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
SPEAKER_03: Um, but what it
caused, your thought process
made that listing on Facebook
Marketplace go stagnant.
SPEAKER_00: Yes.
SPEAKER_03: Because you were
holding on to that energy.
SPEAKER_00: That's right.
SPEAKER_03: And that's what
people do in their own life.
And they forget that energy or
money is energy.
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
So go back and explain how long
it's set on Marketplace before
we got any bites or it set
there.
Um it's been on Marketplace for
probably a good month, wouldn't
you?
SPEAKER_03: Two months.
Yeah.
I listed it two months ago.
SPEAKER_00: Really?
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, in January.
And uh it got no move.
I had no I didn't get a single
message on it.
unknown: Right.
SPEAKER_03: Didn't have a single
and this is the the upgraded
one.
It's got the battery, the
extended battery, got the
comfort, the comfort strap, and
the case.
SPEAKER_00: Right.
I even bought a case for it.
SPEAKER_03: Like uh we spent
like a uh$1,100 on that thing.
SPEAKER_00: Right.
SPEAKER_03: And when we bought
it, because we bought all the
bells and whistles with it.
SPEAKER_00: Everything it could
offer, I bought when I bought
it.
SPEAKER_03: And it just sat
there stagnant.
I mean, I had it listed at a
what the suggested new or used
price was.
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
SPEAKER_03: And I got I actually
called GameStop and asked them
what they sell them for used.
SPEAKER_00: Right.
SPEAKER_03: Which is what I
listed it for.
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
And but because I was hanging on
to it and not releasing it from
a perspective.
I got not a single message that
didn't make sense to me or that
didn't feel quite right, had a
very, very low vibration.
We got no, we got no
interaction, no bites, no
anything.
SPEAKER_03: And so then I I
lowered the price on it because
I noticed on GameStop that they
had lowered their prices because
of the announcement.
SPEAKER_00: And at the same
time, I was working through
being okay letting it go out of
my toy box.
Because I'm like, God, why can't
I have this and that?
Why can't I have more than one
toy in my toy box at a time?
SPEAKER_03: That's right.
Yep.
And so but that's what people
do.
We get caught up in that cross
mix of energy.
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
SPEAKER_03: And because what
everybody has to understand
literally, if you want to have
money, you have to spend money.
It's not you have to have money
to make money.
SPEAKER_00: Right.
SPEAKER_03: And because it does
not matter because what is my
other phrase?
SPEAKER_00: All money is big
money.
SPEAKER_03: All money is big
money.
Yeah.
It don't matter if it's fifty
cents or if it's fifty million
dollars.
All money is good.
And that's the energy that
should be behind it.
SPEAKER_00: Right.
Because of the you want money is
a flow.
SPEAKER_03: Money is a flow.
It's an energy.
SPEAKER_00: In and out, in and
out.
And that's how you want the
money to be is you want it to be
flowing in, flowing out, flowing
in, flowing out.
SPEAKER_03: Yep.
SPEAKER_00: And no matter what
it looks like.
SPEAKER_03: The difference is
what you do is as you free up
your beliefs behind money for
most people, and when they
become more in tune with what's
their thought processes and
their beliefs behind money are,
then the threshold goes up.
And so if you have the the
mindset that, oh my gosh, you
know, you come from the parents
that don't have money, or nobody
in your family's never had
money, and so you're not going
to have money, or if you come
from that mindset.
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
SPEAKER_03: Or if you have you
come from the mindset of the
spoiled brat syndrome.
I I actually used to do a
lecture on this on the spoiled
brat syndrome syndrome to where
people the worst ones that are
financially come from other
people with money because
they've been spoiled and not
taught properly.
And but when you when you get to
the mindset that uh you are in a
place that you'll never have a
you never have abundance, you
start stifling your own energy.
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
SPEAKER_03: And because oh my
gosh, I don't I don't have I
don't have a million dollars in
a bank, and so I it's I can't go
buy this.
I can't go buy that.
And and so you won't buy
anything.
You get to where you you start
hanging on to money like it's uh
like it's the last thing on
earth.
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
Yeah, definitely hoarding it and
letting it work for you at all
in any way.
Or you'll do like I did, and I
will I figured out loopholes to
work around, like going to
thrift stores and buying a
cheaper version, even though it
wasn't quite what I was wanting.
SPEAKER_02: Right.
SPEAKER_00: I'd go to the thrift
store, find something comparable
at a price I thought that I was
comfortable paying or afford.
Be comfortable affording that
way I didn't have to feel like I
was keeping myself from having
the thing.
Yeah, but I wasn't really
dealing with my beliefs around
it either.
SPEAKER_03: Right.
SPEAKER_00: That was the
category.
SPEAKER_03: You see, and when it
comes to this topic, uh people
insert their own definitions on
things.
SPEAKER_00: Absolutely.
And one of the things this
topic, all a lot of topics.
SPEAKER_03: Yes.
Like uh, for example, I used to
get asked a lot, you could have
anything you wanted.
Why don't you have this or why
don't you have that?
And it's because I was in tune
with what I I didn't want any of
that stuff.
Yeah yes, I could have any of
that stuff I wanted.
I 100% agree.
But I don't want it.
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
SPEAKER_03: And that's where
people that make they make
assumptions and intercept or
interject definitions into their
visions of what that looks like
when it's all individually
based.
So they think, oh, if I if they
have five hundred they make five
hundred thousand dollars a year,
then the they have all the money
and they're and I want to have
that lifestyle.
So they start repeating the
process of I want to live that
way.
And so some of them will do
this, some of them will start
putting money in savings.
Uh oh, for them to have that,
they do that because that's back
in the day when we were younger.
You were supposed to have nine
months of of your bills in
savings.
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
SPEAKER_03: And what a lot of
people don't know, especially if
you're financially minded, when
you put nine months of savings
of money in a savings account,
uh uh, you have just thrown away
tons of money because you're
gonna get a minimal interest
rate and that bank is gonna use
your money to make seven or
eight times more money than you
are off of it.
And you have to learn how to
take that money and turn it into
something more lucrative because
saving is actually savings is
actually stifling money flow.
And I'm not saying that having
money back for a rainy day is
not important.
But it you can put it back in
ways that makes you a lot more
money.
SPEAKER_00: Have it go out and
work for you in a little bit
better way.
SPEAKER_03: And you have a great
analogy for this that you just
came up with.
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I I had to
come up with I you know when
something is confusing to me or
not quite understandable, if
I'll make a game out of it, it
makes it more fun to me.
And uh so as we're getting ready
to go on the uh tour and do our
lectures and go to spirit bears,
we're spending a lot of money
getting product ready to sell at
our booth and uh each stop we
make t-shirts, uh tumbler cups,
yeah, uh, our books, etc.
SPEAKER_02: Right.
SPEAKER_00: And I'm like, gosh,
there's a lot of money going
out, man.
And you kind of I for me, I was
tiptoeing into that pool of,
well, I mean, I hope we sell
these shirts.
I hope they don't just lay there
and collect dust because that's
you know, we bought quite a few
hundred dollars worth of shirts.
Thousand dollars of things and
I'm like, that's a lot.
I hope we sell them.
And so instead of going in that
direction with it, because that
energy feels kind of yucky.
What I did is I played a game in
my head, and this is what it
looks like.
I said, okay, you know what?
I've got this dollar bill, and
right now he's got the uniform
on that looks like a dollar
bill.
What I asked that dollar bill to
do was put on a new uniform
called a t-shirt, and I am gonna
now change the job description
of you're gonna wear this
t-shirt and go out and recruit
new dollar bills to come my way,
right?
New workers.
So I basically created a whole
little scene in my head of army
of workers.
I hired my money to work for me
because if it's okay for me to
work one or two or three jobs or
have four or five different
projects going, then it damn
well is okay for my dollar to
work for me.
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
SPEAKER_00: And so I made this
little comical, I literally did
some illustrations and made some
little comical things about the
dollar bill.
I hired the dollar bill and put
it to work.
And, you know, some of it is in
marketing paraphernalia, like
the tablecloth with the logo on
it.
That dollar bill became the
tablecloth, and they're gonna
recruit new recruits.
SPEAKER_02: Yep.
SPEAKER_00: Uh, the other dollar
bill became tumblers, and
they're gonna not only go out
and sell it, but they're gonna
market the products uh for
additional new recruits and
bring back their referrals
basically by way of the return
on the investment kind of
scenario.
Yeah, right.
If I buy a shirt for five
dollars and then I sell it for
ten, that's that dollar bill
bringing in its little
referrals.
Yes, and that coming back to me.
Not only the old dollar bill
coming back to me, but then the
new referrals as well.
So it's like a little game I'm
playing in my head to make it
feel better.
SPEAKER_03: Well, and that's a
great way to explain the way
I've always taught about money
for people, and that is the fact
is energy can is money is
energy, and energy can become
stagnant and very slow if you
stifle it.
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
SPEAKER_03: And if you stifle
the energy flow with your
beliefs, your programs, your
habits, then then you will
slowly create things, you will
slowly make money.
SPEAKER_02: Right.
SPEAKER_03: You know, there you
you may get a 50 cent raise this
year.
Those kind of things.
If you believe in if you live in
that mindset of I want to have
what that person has, and so I'm
gonna do what I feel like I
think they're doing, yeah,
you're gonna find out that most
of the time the people that you
are using as an idol do life
completely different than you
think.
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, because you
probably have not gone and asked
them the question.
You're just writing the story on
what you think they're doing,
and it usually is totally off
base.
SPEAKER_03: Right.
You know, and there was a recent
show where Grant Cardone he took
a hundred dollars and turned it
into a seven million dollar
business in ninety days.
SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_03: And sold the
business.
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
SPEAKER_03: And you have to ask
yourself, how does a man take a
hundred dollars and in ninety
days without using any of his
own without using any of his
people?
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
SPEAKER_03: He did it all by
himself in a in a uh company,
created a company that he had
never had before, never had
anything to do with it, didn't
use any of his background
people, and in ninety days sold
it for five point seven million
dollars.
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
SPEAKER_03: And so is that a
mindset?
That's what a lot of people
don't get.
That is a mindset, it's a
different way of thinking.
And when you create the buckets
that you're filling up and
saving money, you're not using
your money to work for you.
Like you created this perfect
analogy.
These little workers are going
out working for you to make more
money.
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
SPEAKER_03: It's a great
analogy.
And that's what you have to do.
That's what smart people do.
SPEAKER_00: So when you I'm so
smart.
You are.
SPEAKER_03: You are you're
martyr and martyr today.
When when you get to the point
of your life that you don't know
what's next when it comes to
money, uh-huh.
That's where a lot of people do.
They get stagnant, they get
happy in their own place, or
they get comfortable in their
own place.
But yet they still have the
dreams of being a millionaire
one day or whatever that is.
But yet their actions are not
mimicking what their dreams are.
SPEAKER_00: Oh, right, yeah.
SPEAKER_03: And so that too
becomes stagnant energy.
SPEAKER_00: Right.
But some of it's fear.
SPEAKER_03: I agree.
Uh well, is it fear?
Yeah.
Or is it a lack?
SPEAKER_00: It's it's a
combination sometimes, but
sometimes it's a fear because we
are a see it and then believe it
kind of population.
SPEAKER_02: Right.
SPEAKER_00: And if I can't see
how this is gonna make me money,
then I'm uh too afraid to put
myself out there because what
if?
SPEAKER_03: Right, right.
Yep.
That's called generational.
SPEAKER_00: And so sometimes you
become stagnant because of the
fear of the unknown and the fear
of the what if.
Right.
What if I go buy all this
product and it doesn't sell?
Then I'm stuck with this
product, and I've spent the
money that could have been spent
on some other hundreds of
things, and now I'm locked into
this product that I can't sell.
SPEAKER_02: Right.
SPEAKER_00: That's a fear
combined with a what-if story
that you don't even know if it's
accurate.
So, yeah, sometimes it can be
fear.
SPEAKER_03: And so what I was
just about to talk about is the
mindset behind all that is
people have a tendency to they
don't understand that developing
personal wealth is a mindset
because here's a good way to
prove that concept generational
wealth.
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
SPEAKER_03: So um the best way
to describe generational wealth
and that is with the simple fact
of if you see somebody, how they
live, operate, think, process,
beliefs, whatever that is, in
the millionaire status or in the
place that you want to be, then
you will create the same
environment for yourself.
That's generational replicated
wealth.
Not that it's passed down from
wealth from generation to
generation, because you'll find
out that the majority of those
people, unless you're like a
Johnson and Johnson family or
something that have billions and
billions of foot, then they
recreate their own wealth.
And a prime example of that,
very, very prime example, Zig
Ziggler, Zig Ziglar's son.
Zig Ziglar became generationally
wealthy, but his son became
wealthy not from his dad's
money.
Because he was raised around his
dad that taught him the things
that his dad travelled around
getting wealthy off of.
SPEAKER_00: Right.
That's what I was gonna say is
it's The the the generational
wealth doesn't necessarily mean
that someone before you created
all this money so you don't have
to worry about money.
SPEAKER_02: Right.
SPEAKER_00: That does happen.
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
SPEAKER_00: But you were raised
and taught to think about it in
a very much different
perspective.
SPEAKER_02: Correct.
SPEAKER_00: Than the average
kind of like blue-collar, no
offense implied, uh, individual.
It's a different way of thinking
and a different perspective as
your normal baseline.
SPEAKER_02: Correct.
SPEAKER_00: And so those that
have created the generational
wealth, they're teaching the
next generation how to view it
and think about it differently.
And so that's that next
generation's normal set point.
And that's what generational
wealth means as well.
SPEAKER_03: And I use the same
mindset, and then I call this
the the Bates process in my
mind.
Like I had a coach in high
school, in high school named
Bates was his last name.
SPEAKER_00: And he Well, I was
gonna say is this what we're
supposed to all live with our
mother for the rest of our life
in the basement.
No, no.
SPEAKER_03: Oh, okay.
Like one time he put me in a
game and to uh he wanted me to
go pitch.
And I was this time I was he had
promoted me from uh middle
school baseball up into playing
the varsity team.
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
SPEAKER_03: Because he wanted me
to pitch.
I was a lefty and I had had an
arm and he didn't have any
left-handed pitchers, and so he
wanted me to pitch.
unknown: Okay.
SPEAKER_03: And my very first
game in the varsity, he put me
on the mound, and all I could
say to him was, Coach, these
kids are older and better than
me.
And he said, Yeah, but think
about how much better you're
gonna be tomorrow after you
pitch to them today.
And that really rang a bell with
me.
We all do this process.
Um, if you want to be better,
you go play with people better
than you.
You go play against people
better than you.
If you want to be richer, you
get to know the thought
processes of people wealthier
than you.
You get the habits, you get the
beliefs, you get the processes,
and you go through those
emotions.
And the perspectives.
Surround yourself with people
like you want to be.
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
SPEAKER_03: If you hang out with
people that aren't what you want
to be, then you're gonna stay in
that same place where you don't
want to be.
SPEAKER_00: Right, that same
mindset.
That's correct.
You're not you're not allowing
yourself to view yourself as
that person that you want to be
like, or that person's life that
you want to have.
SPEAKER_03: There's two purposes
for anybody to ever be in a room
where they feel like that they
are the king or the smartest
person in the room.
Because if you are hanging out
in places that you are the
smartest person in the wor in
the room, then you are
egotistical.
You are not getting better,
you're not getting smarter, and
you're not getting wealthier.
SPEAKER_00: You're just stroking
your ego.
SPEAKER_03: You're just stroking
your ego.
Yeah.
Those who want to be wealthy,
those who want to be smarter.
You you don't go to uh an Ivy
League college when i if you
don't want to be smart.
You don't go hang out at the
college if you don't want to be
smart.
SPEAKER_01: Right.
SPEAKER_03: You go if you want
to be smart, then you go hang
out at the college.
SPEAKER_01: Right.
SPEAKER_03: If you want to be a
better basketball player, you go
hang out at the gym.
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
SPEAKER_03: If you want to be
rich, you go hang out with the
rich.
SPEAKER_00: Right.
SPEAKER_03: No matter how you
gotta get there.
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
SPEAKER_03: Like I did.
I walked in the back door like I
own a place.
And and I get and because of
that.
SPEAKER_00: Like, because
there's some like uh what,
hidden convention center where
they all go hang out and mingle,
and you just walked in the back
door with your cigar and said, I
mean, I'm just gonna hang out
and see what these people do.
Like an underworld gathering
place.
Oh yeah, there is.
No, there's not.
SPEAKER_03: There is one in
every town that all the wealthy
people go and hang out at.
SPEAKER_00: Really?
SPEAKER_03: Everywhere, every
town, I guarantee you.
I know where it is here.
SPEAKER_00: Well, I'll be corn
poppin' puff.
SPEAKER_03: And if you wanna if
you wanna be smarter, you can do
what I do.
I interjected myself into their
life.
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
SPEAKER_03: Like well, like when
I first when we first moved in
the Dallas area, I entered I
walked in the front door of the
freaking chamber like I owned
it.
And what happened three months
later?
They elected me to the board.
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, for sure.
SPEAKER_03: And so that is not
about uh that is how you become
what you want.
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
SPEAKER_03: You don't stay
stagnant and keep those same old
beliefs, and you have to
understand that everything
should be intentional.
Yeah.
You like you were you like you
brought up this morning with the
money.
That's intentional thought.
I sold this thing because I
didn't want to lose any more
money on it.
SPEAKER_00: Right.
SPEAKER_03: And so I maximized
what I could get out of it.
Exactly.
The same thing.
SPEAKER_00: You didn't sell it
because I wasn't playing with it
anymore, like I initially
thought.
And it wasn't because of the
money.
Oh my god, Daddy, you're being
so mean.
SPEAKER_03: It wasn't because of
the money, obviously.
It was and it wasn't because you
weren't using it.
I'm just maximizing the
exchange.
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I get it.
SPEAKER_03: And that's where the
stagnant of abundance comes into
play.
Everybody has to understand the
very first rule.
I'm gonna I'm gonna give them
three rules and then we'll we'll
kind of get to that point.
Number one is understand that
energy is or money is energy.
It comes and it goes.
SPEAKER_00: Uh-huh.
SPEAKER_03: And get rid of every
myth you've ever had in your
mind about it.
Because it's all a myth.
It doesn't take money to make
money.
SPEAKER_00: It's all garbage.
SPEAKER_03: It's all garbage.
unknown: Yeah.
SPEAKER_03: It doesn't take
money to make money.
Ever.
What it takes is intention.
unknown: Yeah.
SPEAKER_03: And your intentional
thought, your intentional
processes, your intentional your
your intentional uh work.
Whatever it is that you decide
to go and do, intentionally do
it.
Um in step number two that I
would give everybody to do if
you really want to create that
abundance and not just in money,
because these rules apply to
everything in life.
You you step number two is
remove the mindset that
everybody around me is not as
smart as me.
Don't put yourself in a
situation.
Remove the mindset that I'm
smarter than the people I'm
hanging out with.
SPEAKER_00: Oh, I see.
Yeah, yeah.
Because and don't just continue
to live in that place.
That's right.
You've got something to learn
from.
SPEAKER_03: Because you have
something to learn from
everybody.
And if you are the smartest
person in the world, that's the
number three rule.
The number three in the steps.
If you are the smartest person
in the room, you need to get
better friends.
You need to get better business
acquaintances.
You need to get better whatever
it is that you want to be.
SPEAKER_00: Right.
Stop going to that room to where
it strokes you.
Especially if you find yourself
wanting more or wanting uh an
upgrade in your existence,
whatever area that is.
Right.
SPEAKER_03: You know, and it's
the same example, you know, they
uh back in the day they used to
call it the single syndrome when
when single people that are
married or married people go out
and act single and hang out with
their single friends.
And what happens to those
couples?
They ended up getting they end
up getting divorced because
you're hanging out with people
that you are stroking your ego
to go do things with that are
not at your level.
SPEAKER_00: So because I feel
like that confuses things a
little bit.
SPEAKER_03: Well, it's the same
thought process is is you create
the habits of those that you go
around.
SPEAKER_00: Subconsciously,
those people wanted to be
single, so they went and started
hanging out with single people.
SPEAKER_03: Yes.
Oh and that's being honest with
yourself because that's going to
be the bonus step step four is
you have to be honest with
yourself, what you really want
in life.
SPEAKER_01: Right.
SPEAKER_03: Because if it if you
know, if like I I I gave a class
one time in Houston, Texas,
about about uh abundance because
at the time I had a restaurant
organization.
And about how to become that
person.
SPEAKER_00: Uh-huh.
SPEAKER_03: And the bonus step
to that is being real to
yourself.
Are you sure that you want to
have that kind of a business?
Do you want to what is the and
why?
That's the bonus step.
What do you want and why do you
want it?
Because if you are wanting
something that you really don't
have a why to, then your
intentions are never going to be
pure.
And that's where the bonus step
is.
So make sure you're clear,
you're, you know, clear and
really be true with yourself.
SPEAKER_00: And so what you're
saying is if your perspective or
your viewpoint voo, voo, that's
V-O-O for any of you wanting to
know how to spell that, is that
it's a word now.
I want to create generational
wealth.
SPEAKER_03: Yep.
SPEAKER_00: And you figure out a
business or a concept, you put
it into play, but because you're
doing it for the sole purpose of
I I I want to have money like I
see this person because you
think that this person has money
and you want their lifestyle.
What you're saying is that
that's not a pure intentional
why.
Correct.
And that you may have skewed the
perspective.
And so when you create your
concept of it, it may be
entangled with not so fun stuff.
SPEAKER_03: Right.
Correct.
SPEAKER_00: Is that what you're
basically?
SPEAKER_03: 100% correct.
You hit that one on the nose.
SPEAKER_00: Getting clearer on,
and we'll take like the
restaurant business, for
example.
If you've got a perspective that
says, oh, owning a bunch of
restaurants looks so easy
because he makes it easy and he
makes a shit ton of money and
it's like a cash cow.
What they don't know because
they've not come and asked the
question is how much time and
work went into the front side of
things so that it could become
easy.
The hours and hours of personal
time and stuff that was invested
into it.
And so, yeah, it's a cash cow
now, but them not understanding
that there was months, years,
and days and hours of blood,
sweat, and tears that went into
getting things set up on the
front end before it could get to
that point.
And do you have the tenacity and
the um humility, humility and
the um get up and get it done
kind of mentality to put that
kind of effort in place in the
beginning so that you can ride
the wave of it?
SPEAKER_03: Right.
That's the same thing I did when
I started deficiating.
SPEAKER_00: People don't look at
the whole big picture, they just
see what's going on now.
SPEAKER_03: Right.
They see the result and think
they want to get that without
don't realize what's behind it.
SPEAKER_00: Without doing the
research on what it what was
invested in getting that end
result that they're witnessing
now.
Right.
This is one of the things we get
from people all along our our
journey, even in the management
business that we did, our
assistants would say, you make
it look so easy.
Well, they didn't ask about or
witness the hours of time we put
in networking and putting
processes in place to get to
that point.
SPEAKER_03: Right.
And that's what, like, like when
I first started officiating
football, I wanted as soon as I
had my first class, I wanted to
become a uh college-level
footballer.
I wanted to be a D1 footballer.
A football coach or official.
And so I walked up to this guy
that was giving the class and I
said, I want to be a D1
official, how do I do that?
And he said, You wanna you wanna
see what it's really like?
Come meet me Friday night.
Because I had the humility to go
ask.
Uh-huh.
I went up and watched I went and
watched behind them.
I went I was with them the
entire time.
SPEAKER_00: Right.
SPEAKER_03: Of what it's like to
be a D1 football official.
SPEAKER_00: Uh-huh.
SPEAKER_03: And the demand that
was behind it.
SPEAKER_00: Right.
SPEAKER_03: And at the end of
the night, he said, Well, what'd
you think?
I said, Well, I want to do it
again tomorrow.
And because I enjoyed it.
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
SPEAKER_03: Some people hate it.
SPEAKER_00: Right.
SPEAKER_03: You don't really
know.
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
SPEAKER_03: You like like I and
what happens is I started
hanging out with these guys.
And I started I got to know of
the all the D1 level guys.
And I got, you know, I got elbow
to elbow with all of them.
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
SPEAKER_03: And what happens in
the shortest amount of time in
my chapter's history, I became a
D1 official.
And it because I was hobnobbing
with the big wig, so to speak.
SPEAKER_00: Well, not only that,
but you went and did your
homework.
You went and found out the true
story of what it takes, and then
checked in with yourself and
said, you know, am I willing to
invest what it takes to become
this thing?
And is that truly what I want?
SPEAKER_03: Right.
Same thing with my buddy.
SPEAKER_00: It's what it that's
what we mean when we say do the
due diligence of whatever topic
you're talking about.
Because a lot of times I feel
like people miss that step.
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
SPEAKER_00: They just look at
the lifestyle or the job they
want, the end result that came
from the work that went into it
or the self-teaching or the
knowledge.
SPEAKER_02: Right.
SPEAKER_00: And they think, oh,
that looks so easy and that's
what I want.
And they're making a shit ton of
money.
And they forget to go and say,
How did you get where you are?
SPEAKER_03: And how do I do it?
SPEAKER_00: And how do I get to
where you are?
SPEAKER_03: That's right.
SPEAKER_00: And take that
information and then check in
with themselves and say, hmm, am
I willing to put in the action
steps and the effort to get to
this place?
SPEAKER_02: Right.
SPEAKER_00: Is this something
that I really enjoy?
Is it something I really want?
They just jump in immediately
thinking it's supposed to look
the way it looked to them
whenever they were on the other
side of the fence.
And then when it doesn't, they
go into this place of being
discouraged or down talk the
job.
It's nothing like that.
It's it's all a lie.
They're misrepresenting when in
fact it's that they didn't do
their homework to find out what
it took to create the thing that
they're seeing.
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
SPEAKER_00: And they told
themselves monkey mind stories
that weren't accurate and they
didn't go collect the
information.
SPEAKER_03: You know, when we
built that uh hotel uh in just
outside Justin by the racetrack,
then they had the the the owners
wanted to put a professional
level golf course on the behind
it.
SPEAKER_00: Right.
SPEAKER_03: And they hired Jack
Nicholas to come in and design
it.
The golden bear, you know, the
granddaddy of them all.
Well, and I was in this meeting.
SPEAKER_00: And he's a golf
player.
SPEAKER_03: Oh, yeah, he's
known.
Anybody that knows golf knows
what he is.
I see.
Um he is also the top one well,
he was.
I think he passed away now, but
um I was sitting at the table,
and at the end of the table, I
was I was kind of intrigued by
this guy because very
intelligent man, very, very
intelligent.
I was very impressed by him,
very humiliated by him.
All right.
And so I asked him, What made
when did you decide or when did
you decide you wanted to be a
golfer?
Because he had the one of the
longest professional careers of
any golfer back in the 50s, 60s,
70s, whatever it was.
And he said, Well, I never
really knew I wanted to be a
golfer.
And this is an epiphanal thing
that I'm gonna end this podcast
on for me.
Is I didn't know I wanted to be
a golfer, but I was intrigued by
the game.
SPEAKER_00: Right.
SPEAKER_03: And so I thought,
what better idea was it?
I'm gonna go be a caddy.
And he did.
SPEAKER_00: And study the art.
SPEAKER_03: And he went down and
actually cadd for free for tips.
Yeah.
And the golf course allowed him
to do it at his local golf
course wherever he was as a
child.
And so at age nine, he was
caddying full adult clubs for
golfers going down the course
and would just watch and learn
and see what they did.
And and then he ended up getting
hired and he ended up learning
how to play golf from the house
pro and then just took what he
had learned throughout the
courses of the year.
He interjected himself into
where he wanted to be.
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
SPEAKER_03: That's what people
have to do.
SPEAKER_00: At whatever level.
SPEAKER_03: At whatever level
you want to be.
You know, like I've heard JT Fox
say, you want to be a
millionaire, go hang out with
millionaires.
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
SPEAKER_03: You want to be a
billionaire?
Go hang out with billionaires.
Now it's the point that you get
from point A to point B that
where a lot of people get
stagnant.
Is they give up or they quit.
They think that they couldn't be
there.
They can't compete with this
person.
And what they'll find is most
80-something percent of
millionaires are self-made.
SPEAKER_00: It's just all about
and they poop and stink just
like everybody else.
SPEAKER_03: They do everybody
else.
And most of them are assholes
just like everybody else.
Just kidding.
That's a joke.
They do, and they're gonna call
them red eyes.
