WEBVTT

00:00.031 --> 00:08.671
[SPEAKER_01]: Are you often the superhero entrepreneur of your business, meaning everything has to come to you and you have to save the day, check it out.

00:09.112 --> 00:16.690
[SPEAKER_01]: You are the bottleneck and you're most likely not scaling at the rate that you want to scale because you are the bottleneck and everything stops with you.

00:16.805 --> 00:17.886
[SPEAKER_01]: and what's the problem with that?

00:18.527 --> 00:34.926
[SPEAKER_02]: The problem is... Yo, what's up everybody, welcome back to yet another episode of the Entrepreneur Experience.

00:34.946 --> 00:36.288
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's hot cats!

00:36.308 --> 00:36.568
[SPEAKER_00]: Goooo!

00:37.129 --> 00:37.509
[SPEAKER_00]: I love it.

00:37.729 --> 00:38.911
[SPEAKER_00]: I love these podcasts.

00:38.931 --> 00:40.753
[SPEAKER_00]: Actually, every week I look forward to this.

00:40.733 --> 00:45.199
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and actually we want to jump straight into it right before we do that.

00:45.699 --> 00:46.520
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm Jared Taylor.

00:46.921 --> 00:47.602
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm Coach Joe.

00:47.642 --> 00:58.736
[SPEAKER_00]: If you're addicted to entrepreneurial stuff in general and people talking about it, this is the podcast for you, especially if you go on vacation and you feel like you can't turn it off and stop.

00:59.236 --> 01:00.298
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you're not alone.

01:00.798 --> 01:02.100
[SPEAKER_01]: No, you're not alone.

01:02.320 --> 01:03.542
[SPEAKER_01]: We're all pretty much the same way.

01:03.562 --> 01:10.150
[SPEAKER_01]: In fact, to get energy from those thoughts and so it feels my wife has to tell me,

01:10.130 --> 01:10.410
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

01:10.430 --> 01:11.291
[SPEAKER_00]: It's hard to shut it off.

01:11.371 --> 01:11.551
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.

01:11.912 --> 01:14.234
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, sorry to interrupt, but Joe, you got something on your chest.

01:15.916 --> 01:19.540
[SPEAKER_01]: When I filled my first eight business, I chalked it up to a couple of things.

01:20.261 --> 01:34.095
[SPEAKER_00]: Number one, I was very proud and I didn't learn how to build a business, but the second thing I realized is I didn't go to school for this and it's fun to try to figure things out and explore, but then there comes a point where you're like, wait, hold on.

01:34.075 --> 01:37.360
[SPEAKER_00]: What are all the other successful business owners doing?

01:37.380 --> 01:41.586
[SPEAKER_01]: We've provided something for you if you feel the same exact way.

01:41.906 --> 01:54.685
[SPEAKER_01]: We've provided school SKWOL entrepreneur experience where you can actually have a free content and a community of people that are also in there that are entrepreneurs that love to give feedback and ask for feedback.

01:54.805 --> 01:59.712
[SPEAKER_01]: If you don't feel like you have the resources enough to help you become successful, join our school.

01:59.692 --> 02:01.034
[SPEAKER_00]: It starts for free.

02:01.454 --> 02:02.395
[SPEAKER_00]: So what are you waiting for?

02:02.715 --> 02:09.183
[SPEAKER_00]: Go to jtvigils.com slash school that's jtvigils without the eye and that's school with a king.

02:09.583 --> 02:10.504
[SPEAKER_01]: Now back to the show.

02:10.785 --> 02:17.633
[SPEAKER_01]: I failed so many businesses because I was the bottleneck and when I finally had a successful business, I just bottlenecked at a higher level.

02:18.313 --> 02:20.095
[SPEAKER_01]: Either way, I was the bottleneck.

02:20.696 --> 02:22.358
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you know what I found out?

02:22.338 --> 02:24.122
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I was a superhero.

02:24.242 --> 02:27.168
[SPEAKER_01]: My coach told me that there's something called a super hero eyedist.

02:27.208 --> 02:27.910
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a disease.

02:27.930 --> 02:29.312
[SPEAKER_01]: And did you take it as a good thing at first?

02:29.773 --> 02:31.497
[SPEAKER_01]: No, okay.

02:31.517 --> 02:32.259
[SPEAKER_01]: Let me be honest with you.

02:33.361 --> 02:37.269
[SPEAKER_01]: I invested in an amazing business coach to just offend the crap out of me.

02:37.429 --> 02:39.213
[SPEAKER_01]: And because I was so offended, I just did it.

02:39.233 --> 02:41.157
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, oh, this is why.

02:41.626 --> 02:42.267
[SPEAKER_01]: It worked with me.

02:42.567 --> 02:43.168
[SPEAKER_01]: That's cool.

02:43.188 --> 02:48.897
[SPEAKER_01]: Every time she told me something that I was doing, that rubbed against my intentions, I took offense to it.

02:49.398 --> 02:50.239
[SPEAKER_01]: I got over myself.

02:50.940 --> 02:53.183
[SPEAKER_01]: I did the action step and surprise surprise.

02:53.544 --> 02:54.225
[SPEAKER_01]: I got the result.

02:54.806 --> 02:55.307
[SPEAKER_00]: That's awesome.

02:55.467 --> 03:00.615
[SPEAKER_00]: So you needed to set those guardrails to help lead yourself and that sounds like a fantastic solution for that.

03:00.675 --> 03:02.778
[SPEAKER_00]: But what was the problem with being a superhero?

03:03.038 --> 03:06.083
[SPEAKER_00]: Because Superman goes around and he saves the day all the time, right?

03:06.463 --> 03:08.046
[SPEAKER_00]: But I guess more I think about it.

03:08.106 --> 03:10.249
[SPEAKER_00]: He causes the problems, usually.

03:10.229 --> 03:14.258
[SPEAKER_00]: And like there's massive clean up now, well they don't talk about that.

03:14.458 --> 03:14.759
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

03:14.859 --> 03:15.019
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

03:15.240 --> 03:20.912
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, thinking about this, have you ever thought to yourself, okay, Superman is in this place called, what was what was the city called?

03:21.113 --> 03:21.754
[SPEAKER_01]: Metropolis.

03:22.315 --> 03:24.781
[SPEAKER_01]: Metropolis or was it somethingville?

03:25.282 --> 03:25.943
[SPEAKER_01]: Superman?

03:26.885 --> 03:27.827
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, you're talking about smallville.

03:27.967 --> 03:28.488
[SPEAKER_01]: Smallville.

03:28.688 --> 03:29.069
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, whatever.

03:29.690 --> 03:33.758
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, there's probably a lot more problems in the world than just in a smallville, right?

03:34.359 --> 03:36.944
[SPEAKER_01]: And Superman apparently helps everybody around the world.

03:37.505 --> 03:40.471
[SPEAKER_01]: Have you ever thought to yourself, how the heck can he do that?

03:40.591 --> 03:45.961
[SPEAKER_01]: Being one person saving the entire world's problems and successfully doing it?

03:46.442 --> 03:50.209
[SPEAKER_01]: And then nobody in the city is mad at him for making a huge mess.

03:51.472 --> 03:51.752
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

03:52.533 --> 03:54.816
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, that's a problem in business as an older operator.

03:55.157 --> 04:02.406
[SPEAKER_01]: It is so tempting to have a mindset of I have to fix everything or if I want to do things right, I have to do it myself.

04:02.426 --> 04:03.307
[SPEAKER_00]: Have you ever have you ever?

04:03.728 --> 04:04.589
[SPEAKER_00]: I literally said that.

04:05.370 --> 04:07.413
[SPEAKER_00]: And I always say it's like Thanos.

04:07.813 --> 04:11.438
[SPEAKER_00]: He's the villain, but like at the end of one of the Marvel movies.

04:11.418 --> 04:18.109
[SPEAKER_00]: He sends all these bad guys and they're not accomplishing the task, so he puts on a glove and goes, fine, all do it myself.

04:18.229 --> 04:19.831
[SPEAKER_00]: And that was the teaser into the rest of it.

04:20.272 --> 04:21.835
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, I found myself saying that.

04:22.636 --> 04:22.736
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

04:22.756 --> 04:27.504
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, if you're familiar with Thanos, he had the perfect intentions on why he was doing what he's doing.

04:27.524 --> 04:28.726
[SPEAKER_01]: He had a very pure heart about it.

04:29.507 --> 04:35.957
[SPEAKER_01]: And as owner operators, we have a pure heart about doing it ourselves because number one, it's our reputation on the line.

04:35.937 --> 04:37.419
[SPEAKER_01]: Right, or at least it's good intentions.

04:37.779 --> 04:41.283
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, good intentions will never train to do this.

04:41.984 --> 04:45.748
[SPEAKER_01]: Right, and then it makes it kind of feel good that you save the day.

04:46.168 --> 04:47.770
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, until it's you burn out.

04:49.192 --> 04:50.113
[SPEAKER_01]: Right, have you ever burned out?

04:50.654 --> 04:53.917
[SPEAKER_00]: No, lighter.

04:54.037 --> 04:56.660
[SPEAKER_00]: No fish figured out.

04:56.921 --> 04:58.863
[SPEAKER_00]: See if I have this theory though.

04:58.883 --> 05:03.548
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, and I got to set the record straight because some guy was adding me on.

05:04.118 --> 05:07.542
[SPEAKER_00]: you know, like the at symbol adding like going against me on comments one time.

05:08.163 --> 05:09.344
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, that's really strange.

05:09.364 --> 05:10.426
[SPEAKER_00]: No, it was something else.

05:11.147 --> 05:16.013
[SPEAKER_00]: But it was more of like I was just putting a thought out there that like, what if burnout's not a real thing?

05:16.433 --> 05:18.215
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, of course it's like people say it.

05:18.295 --> 05:19.297
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, like whatever, right?

05:19.597 --> 05:19.797
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

05:19.817 --> 05:20.939
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't remember you doing that.

05:21.039 --> 05:26.245
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but it's more like coming from the angle of, yeah, sure people burn out and people go through it.

05:26.485 --> 05:30.210
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's coming from the angle of like, what if it's, if it's just a mental thing?

05:30.190 --> 05:58.425
[SPEAKER_00]: there's something that you know you're why and you're doing the thing that not only you enjoy doing but you get energy from it then you'd never burn out in my thought and I've always been like a slow and steady person that's my character yeah you've probably seen it and so I always take things within a approach of like if someone's like hurry up Jared I'm usually not

05:58.405 --> 06:13.900
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it has to take a lot for me to speed up because Well then I know my inputs like I don't want to like I know my limits and if I'm within that And then I only do things at a level that gives me energy then I feel like I'm never gonna burn out

06:13.880 --> 06:16.907
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't want to like, speak some weird thing into existence right now.

06:16.927 --> 06:18.871
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know people that believe in this.

06:18.891 --> 06:22.159
[SPEAKER_01]: Our next entrepreneur experience is here's gonna be all messed up like, yeah, I do that, guys.

06:22.419 --> 06:28.213
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm not naive about it, but I'm just saying it, it feels like it's more power of the mindset because if you understand your why, 100%.

06:29.175 --> 06:32.783
[SPEAKER_01]: I believe a lot of burnout has to do with mindset.

06:32.763 --> 06:40.182
[SPEAKER_01]: And everybody upgrades the level of capacity once they learn how to do things, once they learn how to delegate.

06:41.686 --> 06:42.408
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll give you an example.

06:43.009 --> 06:49.506
[SPEAKER_01]: When I first started coaching you, if you were by yourself running a company to the size you have right now, you'd probably burn out.

06:49.486 --> 06:49.967
[SPEAKER_00]: I would.

06:50.047 --> 06:50.327
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

06:50.347 --> 06:50.428
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

06:51.029 --> 07:02.589
[SPEAKER_01]: But you take wisdom pre what is it proactively and I'm noticing you're the type of person that says, well, if somebody else did it and somebody else did it, there's probably wisdom around me finding a team.

07:02.609 --> 07:04.592
[SPEAKER_00]: That's because my character sees the future.

07:04.572 --> 07:05.674
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I kind of.

07:05.754 --> 07:06.836
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I'm on the future.

07:06.876 --> 07:08.880
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm going to destroy the I am.

07:08.940 --> 07:09.301
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess.

07:09.822 --> 07:11.645
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, it's for the good of humanity.

07:12.947 --> 07:16.153
[SPEAKER_01]: I will say, I will say that there are moments where things are tougher.

07:16.374 --> 07:16.574
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

07:16.594 --> 07:17.015
[SPEAKER_01]: And they are.

07:17.075 --> 07:19.259
[SPEAKER_01]: So, but I always knew those are moments.

07:19.279 --> 07:19.780
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

07:19.760 --> 07:24.968
[SPEAKER_01]: And so there's mental maturity on us, and resilience, and you've developed that.

07:25.289 --> 07:35.065
[SPEAKER_01]: But there are people that literally burn out because they don't know the mindset around it, or they push themselves, we be on a limit, and they don't have boundaries like you do.

07:35.786 --> 07:37.228
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm that type of person.

07:37.698 --> 07:43.986
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm always going to see how far I can go and my wife is an amazing barrier if I acknowledge it.

07:45.268 --> 07:50.495
[SPEAKER_01]: But I will always push myself to the most uncomfortable spot and I have burnt out many times before.

07:50.695 --> 07:51.657
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

07:51.737 --> 07:55.382
[SPEAKER_00]: Because I was going to ask that back.

07:55.482 --> 07:57.124
[SPEAKER_00]: Is there one example you can share?

07:57.813 --> 08:02.543
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh yeah, so this was like two years ago and I'm still dealing with consequences now.

08:03.224 --> 08:11.181
[SPEAKER_01]: I came to Kansas City about five years ago and immediately built a firm here, went into real estate's heart of flipping houses.

08:11.718 --> 08:17.290
[SPEAKER_01]: Then, two years later, or three years later, started a junk removal business because we have a location in San Diego.

08:17.731 --> 08:25.308
[SPEAKER_01]: And then, one thing after the other, and on top of that, we had two kids, my wife was feeling very homesick because we've never lived outside of San Diego before.

08:25.348 --> 08:27.853
[SPEAKER_01]: It was just one thing,

08:27.884 --> 08:35.340
[SPEAKER_01]: after the other and literally maybe about a year and a half ago nobody knew I almost just quit on everything.

08:35.701 --> 08:40.452
[SPEAKER_01]: At least that was what I was feeling so strongly you know we talked about that a little bit.

08:40.472 --> 08:42.957
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah but if you cut something does that mean it was burnout?

08:44.135 --> 08:46.537
[SPEAKER_00]: Or does that mean you were just right at the verge of it?

08:46.637 --> 08:48.519
[SPEAKER_00]: And so you, I was burned out.

08:48.759 --> 08:49.680
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, so you were burned out.

08:50.020 --> 08:53.223
[SPEAKER_00]: And so what kind of told us that take, like, on a person?

08:53.784 --> 08:57.107
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, a lot, you don't sleep.

08:58.048 --> 08:59.589
[SPEAKER_01]: You eat unhealthy sometimes.

09:00.790 --> 09:03.913
[SPEAKER_01]: For me, I was frustrated and irritated with everybody most of the time.

09:04.033 --> 09:06.976
[SPEAKER_01]: So how do you respond to how I was working with my family, right?

09:07.076 --> 09:09.919
[SPEAKER_01]: So my wife would be like, you treat your clients a way better than you treat us.

09:09.999 --> 09:12.201
[SPEAKER_01]: That was like, oh, I'm like,

09:12.181 --> 09:17.816
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, and I'm thinking, and I'm thinking, well, you guys should know that I'm working so hard, right?

09:17.836 --> 09:22.289
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, you just had that back and forth, and yeah, and I'm being extremely vulnerable.

09:22.910 --> 09:25.397
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I love if you're watching, I hope this doesn't offend you.

09:25.529 --> 09:26.090
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's real.

09:26.170 --> 09:30.816
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I feel like a lot of business owners will have seasons like this.

09:30.876 --> 09:39.326
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, she actually liked to, like, she sounds like the person that has anchored you to bring you back above the water.

09:39.567 --> 09:40.267
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

09:40.287 --> 09:42.130
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, she was on one of the episodes.

09:42.610 --> 09:42.871
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

09:43.091 --> 09:44.332
[SPEAKER_01]: That was a good episode.

09:44.493 --> 09:54.405
[SPEAKER_01]: If you can go back on YouTube and find the episode where both of our wives are on, you're going to want to watch it, especially if you're in business with your spouse or your spouse is an anchor to what you're doing.

09:54.385 --> 09:59.354
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, because it affects them even if they're not in the business like it affects your wife, right?

10:00.035 --> 10:02.499
[SPEAKER_01]: But your wife like she's really good with you.

10:03.200 --> 10:03.320
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

10:03.340 --> 10:03.441
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

10:03.461 --> 10:04.102
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the support.

10:04.462 --> 10:04.562
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

10:04.582 --> 10:05.224
[SPEAKER_01]: How wife is too?

10:06.065 --> 10:08.449
[SPEAKER_01]: But sometimes I'm scared to go and be like, hey, we fell today.

10:08.649 --> 10:10.252
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, just tell me the ways.

10:10.292 --> 10:10.793
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

10:11.214 --> 10:11.314
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

10:11.294 --> 10:29.404
[SPEAKER_00]: I've had to learn that so like I kind of give a threshold on like is this somebody to say now or is it something like it's a later yeah and I'm not the kind of person that's going to push it under a rug and then she discovers what's under there or put it in closet and then she discovers what's in there but I might like

10:30.295 --> 10:38.727
[SPEAKER_00]: ponder it a little longer before actually talking, and sometimes that's a weakness too, because if we're in a talk, then I go silent.

10:38.927 --> 10:39.288
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

10:39.729 --> 10:41.691
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like, well, a little bit.

10:41.892 --> 10:49.062
[SPEAKER_00]: But really what's happening is I'm analyzing every single situation, back to a Marvel example, is like, Dr.

10:49.122 --> 10:54.089
[SPEAKER_00]: Strange, when he had the, was that the stone, the time stone?

10:54.190 --> 10:54.670
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

10:54.690 --> 10:55.932
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's like,

10:55.912 --> 11:11.490
[SPEAKER_00]: you're just scanning through and like he found like a million different ways and scenarios and there was only like one scenario that they actually came out in one and the only way to live that scenario out was actually to give up the timestone and give it to the enemy.

11:12.247 --> 11:13.208
[SPEAKER_00]: And then it like, I'll play up.

11:13.248 --> 11:15.191
[SPEAKER_00]: But that's me is like, I'm analyzing.

11:15.231 --> 11:19.818
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm so analytical, but I get so analytical that I'm like, oh, crap, now I stayed silent for so long.

11:20.199 --> 11:21.501
[SPEAKER_00]: And how do I break the silent?

11:21.521 --> 11:23.884
[SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, I think like, that's me.

11:23.904 --> 11:24.926
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's my weakness.

11:24.946 --> 11:25.927
[SPEAKER_01]: So rose.

11:26.268 --> 11:26.468
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

11:27.189 --> 11:33.619
[SPEAKER_01]: I think for me, if I put it under the rug and say, hey, I need to tell her later because of XYZ, I will literally forget it.

11:33.919 --> 11:36.383
[SPEAKER_01]: Because I have so many different things that come up.

11:36.403 --> 11:36.703
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

11:36.763 --> 11:39.267
[SPEAKER_01]: And then about a month later, I'm like, crap, I forgot to say something.

11:39.247 --> 11:40.148
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

11:40.509 --> 11:42.711
[SPEAKER_01]: And then it gets worse if it's something bad.

11:42.812 --> 11:53.665
[SPEAKER_01]: But again, so when you are the superhero and a lot of times you don't realize that you're doing this as an entrepreneur, you just naturally become the superhero because, well, it's your skill, it's your reputation on the line.

11:53.926 --> 11:54.707
[SPEAKER_01]: That's how you see it.

11:55.668 --> 11:59.112
[SPEAKER_01]: And maybe there's frustration around your team messing things up.

11:59.132 --> 12:00.534
[SPEAKER_01]: So you feel like, hey, you know what?

12:01.075 --> 12:02.416
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't have time to train you.

12:02.436 --> 12:03.618
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, time is money.

12:04.018 --> 12:04.880
[SPEAKER_01]: So let me just do it.

12:05.240 --> 12:07.583
[SPEAKER_01]: I then you have a team that just sits around and watches you.

12:07.698 --> 12:09.585
[SPEAKER_00]: and they watch you by texting on their phone.

12:09.605 --> 12:17.352
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I see people like, here, watch me, like, this wasn't my team, but I've seen this and they just completely ignore it.

12:17.392 --> 12:18.636
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, wait, hold on.

12:19.240 --> 12:29.600
[SPEAKER_00]: What, like, oh yeah, I can't even articulate right now on this podcast and I'm like, what it was like because it's like, are you here to learn something?

12:30.101 --> 12:30.682
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

12:30.702 --> 12:33.809
[SPEAKER_00]: Are you here to do you want to improve yourself?

12:33.829 --> 12:39.139
[SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of like Jesus when he's healing people and he's like, do you want to get well?

12:39.119 --> 12:40.943
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's such a deep question.

12:40.963 --> 12:43.689
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, do you actually want to do you really want to?

12:43.729 --> 12:46.575
[SPEAKER_00]: Or did you put your identity so much in your pain?

12:47.457 --> 12:49.220
[SPEAKER_00]: And then you're, oh, that's a good one.

12:49.281 --> 12:50.623
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, in you're just sulking.

12:50.884 --> 12:54.732
[SPEAKER_01]: I know so many people with their identity is in the trauma that they dealt with.

12:54.712 --> 12:59.544
[SPEAKER_01]: that they'll give excuses on to as to why they have unhealthy habits because of the trauma.

12:59.644 --> 13:05.579
[SPEAKER_01]: Have you ever done with something like that, you know, and we're all guilty of because they have a way of explaining it.

13:05.739 --> 13:06.922
[SPEAKER_00]: But then it's like, okay, but cool.

13:07.544 --> 13:08.586
[SPEAKER_00]: What are you doing about it?

13:08.606 --> 13:08.967
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

13:09.769 --> 13:11.353
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like up to a certain age.

13:12.262 --> 13:14.765
[SPEAKER_01]: And this is a young age, okay, cool.

13:14.785 --> 13:18.149
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, you know, your parents are there to help you, you have to kind of figure things out.

13:18.209 --> 13:28.162
[SPEAKER_01]: But you come to a certain point where it's like, you know what, I think you kind of know if you're over analyzing or over doing a certain situation.

13:28.202 --> 13:31.446
[SPEAKER_01]: Also the word trauma is popped up so much now.

13:31.726 --> 13:36.312
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, what is real trauma versus, or what are the different levels of trauma?

13:36.528 --> 13:37.290
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, true.

13:37.350 --> 13:37.490
[SPEAKER_01]: No.

13:37.831 --> 13:41.439
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, um, because in business, let me tell you something you're going to experience a lot of trauma.

13:41.960 --> 13:42.842
[SPEAKER_01]: Somebody's not going to pay you.

13:43.062 --> 13:44.466
[SPEAKER_01]: Just, right?

13:45.047 --> 13:47.953
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, somebody's going to call back and not be happy with your services.

13:48.294 --> 13:48.555
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

13:48.575 --> 13:52.042
[SPEAKER_01]: Somebody might quit on you or not like the way you say something.

13:52.062 --> 13:55.971
[SPEAKER_01]: So they just, they quit and they're going to lean in and mess up your name.

13:55.951 --> 13:57.755
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, right?

13:57.895 --> 13:59.979
[SPEAKER_01]: We both personally dealt with that.

14:00.500 --> 14:07.254
[SPEAKER_01]: But there's there's a lot of opportunity for your business to create some trauma and you have to Mentally prepare yourself to overcome that.

14:07.555 --> 14:08.937
[SPEAKER_01]: So back to your point of burnout.

14:09.078 --> 14:13.707
[SPEAKER_01]: I do believe a lot of it at least 98 or 98% of it is a mental

14:14.648 --> 14:16.110
[SPEAKER_01]: place, right?

14:17.172 --> 14:19.835
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not that you're not, the feelings are not valid.

14:20.036 --> 14:21.257
[SPEAKER_00]: You're going to a lot of stress.

14:21.277 --> 14:21.538
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

14:21.638 --> 14:24.141
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's very real stuff that it causes it.

14:24.502 --> 14:24.982
[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.

14:25.003 --> 14:25.103
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

14:26.004 --> 14:33.214
[SPEAKER_01]: But even in those moments of stress and burnout and trauma, you still possess the choice to do something about it.

14:33.481 --> 14:35.104
[SPEAKER_00]: Hmm, always.

14:35.504 --> 14:40.453
[SPEAKER_00]: See, and then some people may feel convicted about that, but for me, that encourages me.

14:40.633 --> 14:42.556
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, I feel so lifted up by that.

14:43.197 --> 14:46.563
[SPEAKER_00]: To learn that it could be 99% is mindset.

14:46.943 --> 14:54.696
[SPEAKER_00]: And that means I don't have to go do this impossible physical labor task to overcome it.

14:54.676 --> 15:02.726
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I just need to learn from a mentor or from the right source or seek out the Bible, the truth, you know, God pray.

15:02.946 --> 15:07.611
[SPEAKER_00]: That's absolutely, all comes into play and making your mindset.

15:07.652 --> 15:16.943
[SPEAKER_00]: And in fact, like, if you are a believer, then you know that the Scripture says that we are transformed by the renewing of your mind.

15:17.063 --> 15:18.164
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.

15:18.184 --> 15:19.806
[SPEAKER_00]: And so that's what happens.

15:20.731 --> 15:21.532
[SPEAKER_00]: through salvation.

15:21.653 --> 15:25.539
[SPEAKER_00]: It'll a lot of it comes from renewing and how you think and in your mindset.

15:25.559 --> 15:27.583
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the answer right there, the renewing of your mind.

15:28.164 --> 15:33.193
[SPEAKER_01]: As you renew your mind, it's a combination of God giving you grace and you making decisions.

15:33.674 --> 15:40.005
[SPEAKER_01]: Because God, I mean, if we know God so well from the Bible, he doesn't just hand you something and say, okay, you're perfect now.

15:40.606 --> 15:44.072
[SPEAKER_01]: He gives us the opportunity to develop into what he wants us to be.

15:44.626 --> 15:45.307
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you know.

15:45.728 --> 15:54.780
[SPEAKER_01]: So when it comes to renewing of your mind, it is an equal choice, God willing to give you the grace, you have to choose to take the right actions for it, right?

15:55.121 --> 15:56.783
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, this is reminding me of some things.

15:56.803 --> 16:02.611
[SPEAKER_00]: And I just did like a little Bible study with a group of people the other day and we were talking about David.

16:03.352 --> 16:06.276
[SPEAKER_00]: So there's two things are realized in this.

16:06.757 --> 16:07.999
[SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of a deep cut.

16:08.459 --> 16:11.123
[SPEAKER_00]: Like if you're familiar with the story of David and Goliath,

16:12.233 --> 16:17.738
[SPEAKER_00]: then stay tuned and if you're not familiar, I'll say it in a way that should help.

16:18.815 --> 16:31.672
[SPEAKER_00]: And so in the business world and really anything that you set your mind to, there is a process of transformation that happens in that's character development.

16:32.152 --> 16:32.253
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

16:32.273 --> 16:39.082
[SPEAKER_00]: And this is why I'm always team snowball and not team avalanche unless like I know how to handle the avalanche both.

16:39.502 --> 16:43.287
[SPEAKER_00]: I know in some ways the avalanche also creates the avalanche

16:43.267 --> 16:45.852
[SPEAKER_00]: or surf the avalanche as it goes down.

16:46.113 --> 16:48.117
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I play some old video games that did that.

16:48.517 --> 16:55.411
[SPEAKER_00]: But anyways, so character development's great and sometimes you gotta be faithful and the little things before the big things comes.

16:55.852 --> 16:57.595
[SPEAKER_00]: This is exactly David.

16:58.116 --> 16:59.419
[SPEAKER_00]: Here's a shepherd.

16:59.888 --> 17:07.060
[SPEAKER_01]: And anointed, so much, anointed years before he actually became king and had to endure issues with the current king.

17:07.381 --> 17:08.623
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so that was one of the points.

17:08.783 --> 17:10.065
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that like cool.

17:10.225 --> 17:10.806
[SPEAKER_00]: I jumped ahead.

17:11.127 --> 17:11.588
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it was.

17:11.968 --> 17:22.065
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's a lowly shepherd boy, he's the youngest, he's pretty scrawny and like, but he's learned to take care of his flock.

17:22.771 --> 17:25.756
[SPEAKER_00]: to the sheep, to truly care for them and be a leader.

17:25.856 --> 17:32.847
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was thinking, some of the other brothers had to have like had some leadership system where they were like, hey, go with your other brother.

17:33.287 --> 17:40.899
[SPEAKER_00]: And then they never experienced the character development of being a leader because they were following someone the whole time and never went on their own.

17:41.500 --> 17:42.602
[SPEAKER_00]: David didn't.

17:42.582 --> 17:49.395
[SPEAKER_00]: David was a shepherd boy in charge of this flock to the level where he's fighting bears and lions.

17:49.756 --> 17:50.277
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

17:50.297 --> 18:05.586
[SPEAKER_00]: Another thing I realized was that while he's doing the slingshot, he's developing his skill that later God takes from this moment, he's practicing the same skill but in a different environment accomplish such a bigger task.

18:05.566 --> 18:18.806
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think in entrepreneurship, sometimes we are dealing with things that are small right now, but it develops that skill that when leverage correctly can defeat Goliaths.

18:19.387 --> 18:22.973
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh yeah, so that was like mind blowing and then the other part.

18:23.273 --> 18:24.175
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, let me jump in real quick.

18:24.195 --> 18:25.517
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me hit this real quick.

18:25.537 --> 18:25.937
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

18:25.957 --> 18:27.760
[SPEAKER_00]: So, I'll sink in.

18:28.702 --> 18:32.147
[SPEAKER_00]: Goliath wasn't the only Goliath that David faced.

18:32.648 --> 18:33.389
[SPEAKER_00]: He faced his brothers.

18:34.190 --> 18:47.048
[SPEAKER_00]: And all of the adversities were so crazy and think about this, if God showed you and told you what you were gonna do in your business and told you the outcome before it happened,

18:48.192 --> 18:50.435
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, it's scared of that.

18:50.695 --> 18:51.697
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'd be scared.

18:51.717 --> 18:53.299
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, you tell me that I have to do that.

18:53.659 --> 18:55.562
[SPEAKER_00]: But this is exactly what happened to David.

18:55.582 --> 18:57.585
[SPEAKER_00]: He was anointed and told you he was going to be king.

18:58.185 --> 18:58.386
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

18:58.766 --> 19:01.970
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, before he actually fit the shoes to be king.

19:02.111 --> 19:03.252
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, that's like entrepreneurship.

19:03.553 --> 19:04.434
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I was like business coach.

19:04.594 --> 19:07.358
[SPEAKER_01]: I pushed people to give me their vision five to 10 years from now.

19:07.658 --> 19:09.240
[SPEAKER_01]: Saying that that's going to be your outcome.

19:09.501 --> 19:09.981
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

19:10.001 --> 19:11.824
[SPEAKER_01]: So what do we have to do start going that direction?

19:11.884 --> 19:15.769
[SPEAKER_01]: And we meet the galious and the giants as long as the way because a lot,

19:15.749 --> 19:21.439
[SPEAKER_01]: You're not where you're supposed to be or you're not where you want to be because you don't know how to get there.

19:22.111 --> 19:29.364
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, right David did not know how to be king until obviously some of the things in the beginning was he learned how to take it Flock gently.

19:29.524 --> 19:32.389
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he protected it from the the bear in the lion.

19:32.890 --> 19:46.093
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, then he grew You know confidence in fighting the lion's then he was attacked by his own king that he loved as a father and who's married to his daughter Yeah, to just be outcasted as a dog given to another man to me

19:46.073 --> 19:54.785
[SPEAKER_01]: And he became the bigger man and he didn't kill someone and allowed God to do it the way he wanted to And that's why I believe God bless David now.

19:55.286 --> 20:10.067
[SPEAKER_01]: David still dealt with issues as a king as well for a lot of Constantly you come through Disobedience and very big sins of adultery and murder and all that which helps me to feel encouraged because sometimes I'm thinking like David was a perfect man.

20:10.087 --> 20:13.532
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, no, he wasn't he wasn't

20:13.512 --> 20:15.375
[SPEAKER_01]: He screwed things up Royoli.

20:15.555 --> 20:15.795
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

20:16.256 --> 20:17.418
[SPEAKER_01]: Royoli no pun intended with King.

20:18.419 --> 20:19.801
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, there's that.

20:19.821 --> 20:37.648
[SPEAKER_01]: So back to entrepreneurship, you are supposed to look for a destination to accomplish, because if not, you're going to be wandering around and then start taking on the challenges that takes one of the challenges that's stopping the superhero back to the original thing is understanding that you can't do it on your own.

20:38.709 --> 20:41.393
[SPEAKER_01]: David had a core people that followed him into the caves.

20:41.997 --> 20:47.765
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's not a core people that were loyal to him as he was the king when his son took over to kick them out.

20:48.406 --> 20:48.666
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

20:49.448 --> 20:53.233
[SPEAKER_01]: And then there was all these opportunities for David just to like, whether but yeah.

20:53.273 --> 21:01.284
[SPEAKER_01]: And then he became a king of kings because he, he was team United and then checking out the actual king of kings came from his lineage bro.

21:01.384 --> 21:01.785
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

21:02.366 --> 21:02.907
[SPEAKER_01]: Come on.

21:03.147 --> 21:03.407
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

21:03.768 --> 21:05.951
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's like he thought differently to did.

21:06.171 --> 21:10.958
[SPEAKER_00]: So like he in a way, like in this story he is also

21:11.157 --> 21:21.030
[SPEAKER_00]: a superhero, but he leveraged his team in a good way, let when I say leverage, you know, I mean, actually in a bad way, too.

21:21.070 --> 21:22.552
[SPEAKER_00]: He told someone to go murder someone, so.

21:22.692 --> 21:26.317
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, he said, hey, put him up there and everybody fall back and boo, right?

21:26.377 --> 21:28.861
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, imagine being the team like, what was David trying to do?

21:28.921 --> 21:32.185
[SPEAKER_01]: Then when they find out about she was pregnant, like, oh, but then I like don't say anything.

21:32.205 --> 21:33.367
[SPEAKER_01]: He's a king, he killed us, right?

21:33.547 --> 21:34.348
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, shoot.

21:34.368 --> 21:34.729
[SPEAKER_00]: He could hurt.

21:34.769 --> 21:36.431
[SPEAKER_01]: It wasn't firing, it was life or death.

21:36.531 --> 21:41.097
[SPEAKER_01]: But I went to a Branson and they had that live show,

21:41.077 --> 21:44.062
[SPEAKER_00]: Watched it was a it was a me it's a sight and sound theater.

21:44.483 --> 21:54.580
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, one of the things that I got from it was when David focused on being the king he thrived When he got distracted by doing other things That's when the kingdom had issues.

21:54.741 --> 21:57.786
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, wow, that's good point as a business sort of the same thing

21:57.918 --> 22:06.671
[SPEAKER_01]: When you focus on what you know you're supposed to focus on and delegate and fund the team and systemize and lead the way you're supposed to, things scale better.

22:06.911 --> 22:12.680
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, it takes time and practice, but you are forced to let go of everything you want to be the superhero about.

22:12.860 --> 22:15.184
[SPEAKER_01]: And only focus on what you're actually good at.

22:16.586 --> 22:17.247
[SPEAKER_00]: That's such a good, man.

22:17.888 --> 22:22.915
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so we're at this thing called Growth Club, which always check in the school.

22:23.055 --> 22:27.722
[SPEAKER_00]: The school classroom or the school calendar should say

22:27.922 --> 22:28.423
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

22:29.545 --> 22:34.815
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no camera on her, but she's well, we've shown some recordings on this podcast as well from Growth Club.

22:35.115 --> 22:35.215
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

22:35.235 --> 22:40.044
[SPEAKER_00]: So we went to a growth club where it was like the whole point of it was called halftime.

22:41.026 --> 22:41.767
[SPEAKER_00]: What are you going to do?

22:41.827 --> 22:43.230
[SPEAKER_00]: This is the halftime huddle.

22:44.432 --> 22:48.259
[SPEAKER_00]: You have the other halft to play of the year.

22:48.779 --> 22:50.222
[SPEAKER_00]: Are you ready to hit your goals?

22:50.242 --> 22:50.844
[SPEAKER_00]: What do you need to do?

22:50.864 --> 22:52.207
[SPEAKER_00]: Are you, are you, are you wet in?

22:52.347 --> 22:53.029
[SPEAKER_00]: Are you behind?

22:53.530 --> 23:01.468
[SPEAKER_00]: And then basically it's like that halftime talk in that motivation, but also workshop and networking, which I love about that, and planning.

23:01.849 --> 23:02.330
[SPEAKER_01]: Planning.

23:02.350 --> 23:05.758
[SPEAKER_00]: So like, there's many times I wouldn't plan on my business if I didn't like.

23:05.738 --> 23:09.042
[SPEAKER_00]: pay to a lot the time for it.

23:09.062 --> 23:10.885
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, which I love that part about growth club.

23:10.925 --> 23:12.346
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the best value of all.

23:12.987 --> 23:15.150
[SPEAKER_00]: But I'm not here to like sell you guys growth club or anything.

23:15.170 --> 23:15.911
[SPEAKER_01]: The food is good too.

23:15.991 --> 23:16.972
[SPEAKER_01]: The food is really good too.

23:17.373 --> 23:17.593
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

23:18.474 --> 23:26.965
[SPEAKER_00]: But anyways, that's when I was like, oh, when I focus on what matters, let go of the rest, I love that quote.

23:26.985 --> 23:27.946
[SPEAKER_00]: That's when I win.

23:28.007 --> 23:34.615
[SPEAKER_00]: And so that was when I decided, I am going to focus on these three goals.

23:34.595 --> 23:41.886
[SPEAKER_00]: which really became one goal because my intentions need to go like one at a time and I really start winning.

23:42.587 --> 23:50.219
[SPEAKER_00]: And then now we've got to the point in the business and it got us a client that we really needed by doing that.

23:50.820 --> 23:51.261
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

23:51.281 --> 23:54.666
[SPEAKER_00]: So you're quote, like when at what matters and let go of the rest is so true.

23:54.927 --> 23:57.090
[SPEAKER_00]: What you focus on grows is so true.

23:57.411 --> 23:58.272
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

23:58.292 --> 24:02.779
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, the problem with being the

24:02.759 --> 24:09.373
[SPEAKER_01]: So everything is diluted right and you're supposed to force to think about it I remember when I was a superhero.

24:09.393 --> 24:10.455
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like I was a technician.

24:10.535 --> 24:12.640
[SPEAKER_01]: I answered the calls I said it was a job.

24:13.020 --> 24:13.842
[SPEAKER_01]: I did the marketing.

24:13.862 --> 24:14.604
[SPEAKER_01]: I did this.

24:14.684 --> 24:15.065
[SPEAKER_01]: I did that.

24:15.105 --> 24:15.466
[SPEAKER_01]: I did this.

24:15.526 --> 24:15.866
[SPEAKER_01]: I did that.

24:15.947 --> 24:18.512
[SPEAKER_01]: Eventually Nothing was genius.

24:18.853 --> 24:19.895
[SPEAKER_01]: It was just slapped together.

24:20.276 --> 24:20.937
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow

24:21.406 --> 24:22.908
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, I stopped.

24:22.928 --> 24:28.836
[SPEAKER_01]: I couldn't even do $500 to $700,000 in a year or by myself, like I was capped.

24:29.217 --> 24:30.919
[SPEAKER_01]: I kept increasing my prices, but I was capped.

24:31.760 --> 24:40.372
[SPEAKER_00]: What I've really seen in your newest coaching business is that you have a particular scope of work and you stick to it.

24:41.213 --> 24:45.138
[SPEAKER_00]: Your teaching stuff, but you actually exercise what you're teaching to.

24:46.280 --> 24:48.763
[SPEAKER_00]: And I see that, and that's cool.

24:49.722 --> 24:55.230
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, I think a lot of people, because when you first start out, you got to figure out like what do people actually want.

24:55.270 --> 25:03.541
[SPEAKER_00]: And so you're kind of like, niching-wide first, and then there's a point to niche down, but the niche down doesn't always have to be a particular group of people.

25:03.581 --> 25:06.164
[SPEAKER_00]: It can be a particular scope of work and what you do.

25:06.204 --> 25:06.625
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, right.

25:06.825 --> 25:08.828
[SPEAKER_00]: And I feel like a lot of people,

25:08.808 --> 25:14.856
[SPEAKER_00]: with businesses are so idea-focused that they get paralysis from analysis.

25:14.896 --> 25:17.840
[SPEAKER_00]: This is me, I'm speaking to my past self here.

25:17.860 --> 25:18.021
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

25:18.161 --> 25:26.072
[SPEAKER_00]: And some current self is that when I can focus on one thing, the operation can be so streamlined.

25:26.593 --> 25:26.733
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh-huh.

25:26.753 --> 25:29.376
[SPEAKER_00]: Like you don't have to build new operations for it.

25:29.797 --> 25:33.482
[SPEAKER_00]: Like we secretly have two businesses.

25:33.462 --> 25:34.464
[SPEAKER_00]: under one right now.

25:34.624 --> 25:36.769
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's so streamlined.

25:36.809 --> 25:50.416
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't feel like it, but it's still like, man, we had to take the time to develop this fully, which was our school community and how we help other businesses be able to do their school community as well.

25:50.476 --> 25:53.041
[SPEAKER_00]: So they don't have to learn all the ins and outs and we can run it for them.

25:53.462 --> 25:55.386
[SPEAKER_00]: The video portions all there.

25:55.366 --> 26:00.953
[SPEAKER_00]: But it turns out, when you dive into courses in school, the marketing for that is different.

26:01.074 --> 26:01.514
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah.

26:01.534 --> 26:04.118
[SPEAKER_00]: The set-up process is different, absolutely.

26:04.418 --> 26:06.180
[SPEAKER_00]: The admin, SOPs are different.

26:06.221 --> 26:16.294
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, oh, we technically have a whole other operation going on here, and I feel like us entrepreneurs.

26:16.898 --> 26:20.465
[SPEAKER_00]: when you're, especially when you're doing it yourself, you can easily figure it out.

26:20.705 --> 26:31.245
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's when you want to delegate to the team and let it run without you, that that small or large idea could become detrimental in really,

26:31.546 --> 26:40.444
[SPEAKER_00]: Deer and headlights to your team for a little bit if you don't roll it out properly and that's that's part of I have clients that love to like just okay.

26:40.464 --> 26:41.226
[SPEAKER_01]: We're changing everything.

26:41.266 --> 26:47.378
[SPEAKER_01]: Here's the new SOP read it and do it And that's their version of delegation like guys look

26:48.725 --> 26:52.610
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not just about throwing a manual at them, expecting them to read it and memorize it.

26:53.230 --> 26:58.076
[SPEAKER_01]: It's trained them and power them, coach them, pull back a little bit a little, right?

26:58.156 --> 27:01.781
[SPEAKER_01]: Like leading delegating management is not just a one-day thing.

27:02.281 --> 27:11.553
[SPEAKER_01]: And I feel like sometimes people, when they're finally done being the superhero and they want to jump right into being a business owner, it's not going to happen overnight either, right?

27:11.573 --> 27:15.137
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a process to do it, but

27:15.117 --> 27:18.742
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, the first part is realizing that you are the bottleneck.

27:18.763 --> 27:19.123
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

27:19.143 --> 27:22.929
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, understanding that burnout is real and around the corner, if you don't fix that.

27:23.510 --> 27:25.573
[SPEAKER_01]: And if you actually want to scale, there's a proper way to do it.

27:26.674 --> 27:28.938
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a proper way, and many people are doing it.

27:28.958 --> 27:30.180
[SPEAKER_01]: Many, many people are doing it.

27:30.500 --> 27:36.750
[SPEAKER_01]: When it comes to just being that superhero, it's really about you humbling yourself and understanding, you don't want to be the best.

27:37.611 --> 27:42.238
[SPEAKER_01]: If you're the best, you are the one that they call all the time.

27:42.573 --> 27:43.354
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

27:43.434 --> 27:44.075
[SPEAKER_01]: We talked about this.

27:44.116 --> 27:46.640
[SPEAKER_01]: You don't want to be the best videoographer anymore in within your team.

27:47.301 --> 27:47.421
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

27:47.822 --> 27:55.955
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, even though you love doing it, you talked about how I can help more people if I'm not behind that camera because there's other areas I want to help people with.

27:56.476 --> 28:01.664
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and there's other people that this is their fulfillment in life is to do what they're gifted at.

28:02.185 --> 28:03.467
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you help people?

28:03.903 --> 28:10.270
[SPEAKER_00]: And I've had that side of fulfillment that I would love to be able to give that to someone else.

28:10.611 --> 28:12.213
[SPEAKER_00]: And so now it's actually really cool.

28:13.114 --> 28:23.146
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I learned that, oh, if I help other people, including those I hire, then that's rewarding to see them accomplish that.

28:23.926 --> 28:33.758
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, there's just so much to delegation and there's so much to changing the perspective because I was kind of someone,

28:34.058 --> 28:37.806
[SPEAKER_00]: the superhero, but that was because I had to be at first.

28:38.127 --> 28:41.594
[SPEAKER_01]: In the beginning, you have to understand that there's a lot that you will have to take on your plate.

28:42.756 --> 28:45.502
[SPEAKER_01]: But I read this book called Who Not How Very Really On.

28:46.223 --> 28:52.617
[SPEAKER_01]: And the question that you have to ask yourself is eventually, when I get to this level, who should this task be delegated to?

28:53.278 --> 28:55.122
[SPEAKER_01]: Not how can I do it better?

28:55.726 --> 29:01.655
[SPEAKER_01]: Because the how question is a superhero question, the who is the leader in power question, right?

29:02.517 --> 29:06.883
[SPEAKER_01]: Some superheroes always had a sidekick, Batman and Robin, right?

29:07.104 --> 29:07.304
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

29:09.287 --> 29:11.651
[SPEAKER_01]: Who's your sidekick?

29:11.811 --> 29:13.554
[SPEAKER_01]: Who's Superman?

29:13.574 --> 29:14.295
[SPEAKER_01]: Who's Superman?

29:14.395 --> 29:15.557
[SPEAKER_01]: He didn't have a sidekick, huh?

29:16.803 --> 29:20.129
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, well, he had his dog and he had a dog.

29:20.349 --> 29:21.892
[SPEAKER_01]: Did you watch in his cousin sometimes?

29:22.293 --> 29:25.258
[SPEAKER_01]: Did you watch his new, the new movie, the Superman movie?

29:25.278 --> 29:28.364
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the dog is like, yeah, so anyways.

29:29.405 --> 29:32.631
[SPEAKER_01]: Look, as an entrepreneur, it is easy to fall into these traps.

29:33.272 --> 29:37.680
[SPEAKER_01]: And if you fall into this trap, or you're actually there, look.

29:37.660 --> 29:44.167
[SPEAKER_01]: It's fine to feel a little down about it because there needs to be some level of dissatisfaction if you want to change.

29:44.667 --> 29:48.571
[SPEAKER_01]: But now that you understand that you cannot be the superhero, what's the first thing?

29:48.611 --> 29:53.957
[SPEAKER_01]: The first low level thing that you insist on doing, that you can hire a VA for maybe.

29:55.398 --> 30:02.065
[SPEAKER_01]: You can hire a VA's now at $8.10 an hour and they could take so much off your plate.

30:02.365 --> 30:08.718
[SPEAKER_00]: And there's time to filter the right ones, and but that's an investment back into your time.

30:09.039 --> 30:09.480
[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.

30:10.202 --> 30:10.562
[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.

30:10.602 --> 30:12.246
[SPEAKER_01]: So there's so many things that you could do.

30:12.326 --> 30:15.092
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that would be the first part that I go to.

30:15.112 --> 30:19.461
[SPEAKER_01]: There's another book called buying your time back by Dan Martell and talks about a generalist.

30:19.802 --> 30:21.285
[SPEAKER_01]: There's so many things that you're doing.

30:22.852 --> 30:26.718
[SPEAKER_01]: that you can hire somebody who you do much better for than you because they're focused on it and you're not.

30:27.419 --> 30:28.821
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not that your skill level sucks.

30:28.861 --> 30:32.947
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just that your attention is not there, which shows in your skill level.

30:34.329 --> 30:37.634
[SPEAKER_01]: So the superhero I this thing is real.

30:38.495 --> 30:40.017
[SPEAKER_00]: Man, so like,

30:40.351 --> 30:43.876
[SPEAKER_00]: It's, and it's not always bad to be the superhero, right?

30:44.417 --> 30:48.603
[SPEAKER_00]: No, not always, it's just, but if that's your mindset, yeah, all the time.

30:48.623 --> 30:53.190
[SPEAKER_00]: To always like jump in and take it over and not allow the other, you gotta like allow the failure, right?

30:54.392 --> 30:57.597
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, there's a client that built his business to where he doesn't need to be there anymore.

30:58.097 --> 30:59.539
[SPEAKER_01]: And then he's like, I want to get back in on board.

30:59.560 --> 31:02.404
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, good, if it's board, it's working, go create cash with another business.

31:02.444 --> 31:04.627
[SPEAKER_01]: I can start another business, don't touch this thing.

31:04.787 --> 31:05.108
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

31:05.408 --> 31:06.630
[SPEAKER_01]: And now he's building it up.

31:06.650 --> 31:08.653
[SPEAKER_01]: Actually, he should be one of our,

31:08.633 --> 31:10.059
[SPEAKER_01]: podcast guest pretty soon.

31:10.120 --> 31:10.903
[SPEAKER_01]: I won't say his name.

31:11.626 --> 31:12.751
[SPEAKER_01]: He's a real sin investor.

31:12.792 --> 31:15.423
[SPEAKER_01]: He's really good text him.

31:15.444 --> 31:16.669
[SPEAKER_00]: Say hey, there's a link

31:17.560 --> 31:22.285
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a link you left hanging, I'll do that, I'll do that.

31:22.305 --> 31:30.033
[SPEAKER_00]: And while you do that, there's something I was related to when you bring up the superhero thing, and that's more of like how your approach towards it.

31:30.634 --> 31:36.640
[SPEAKER_00]: And my approach at first, and I don't have like some crazy large team of a thousand employees or anything like that.

31:37.741 --> 31:43.247
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm not speaking from that level, but I'm speaking from, it was, it was, it was, do it all myself.

31:43.666 --> 31:45.953
[SPEAKER_00]: always jump in, always save the day.

31:46.696 --> 31:51.972
[SPEAKER_00]: But now it's like, that's not a bad thing.

31:52.981 --> 31:56.526
[SPEAKER_00]: because it shows that I'm gifted at certain things.

31:57.327 --> 32:07.262
[SPEAKER_00]: And if I am, maybe I just take a step back and see if I can apply that gift differently in a different angle in a different way.

32:07.583 --> 32:08.164
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

32:08.184 --> 32:10.868
[SPEAKER_00]: Because if you really reverse engineer it, it could be something else.

32:10.888 --> 32:16.416
[SPEAKER_00]: So in the ride environment, you could continue to exercise those things that you do.

32:16.436 --> 32:17.097
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd like to do.

32:17.397 --> 32:22.465
[SPEAKER_00]: I just add the spiritual gift of exhortation.

32:23.491 --> 32:28.080
[SPEAKER_00]: to at a deep level help someone when they communicate a problem.

32:29.423 --> 32:35.214
[SPEAKER_00]: And the boundaries there are hard, but I've been learning it, but it's a gift.

32:36.436 --> 32:39.823
[SPEAKER_00]: And so what if I can apply that though to the right area?

32:40.264 --> 32:42.428
[SPEAKER_00]: Because if I apply it to the right area,

32:43.100 --> 32:48.048
[SPEAKER_00]: it can make a bigger impact than if I do it and I become a people pleaser.

32:48.388 --> 32:48.929
[SPEAKER_01]: Being a go.

32:48.969 --> 32:49.270
[SPEAKER_00]: You know?

32:49.510 --> 32:50.552
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yep, yep, yep.

32:50.572 --> 32:52.956
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's what you make yourself available to everybody.
