72-Starting Over ~ Life Edition

•   My advice, the only advice I can give is what worked for me. Now, maybe that doesn't work for the next person. Maybe, you know, one of the people who came to me, maybe they don't have that kind of faith in God, maybe they don't have that kind of relationship. Maybe they don't have that kind of trust. Maybe, I don't know. All I can do is say, This is what worked for me. I handed it over, I've had people say, How do you even hand it over? What does that even mean? I can tell you what it means to me, and I can tell you how I told my kids how I taught them how to hand it over in situations that was too much for them.  (4:18)•    What is your definition of giving up? Because you still have to go on... You still have to wake up every day. You still have to put one foot in front of the other, is it rolling over and letting whatever happen take over and beat you, or is it to rise above it and create a plan and recreate something more than you had before? So what would you choose? We've talked about the 90-day plan and we've gone into detail with it, I've provided a download for it on my website as well, this isn't just for building a business plan, it can be for anything, any goal you have, it is a road map to a goal, now, there are a lot of people, especially entrepreneurs. When you think goals, you think of business goals... Well, that's how we operate. However, guess what? There's more to life than business. (6:45)•   And there is life after divorce, so to be able to tell someone, don't waste time dwelling on the past. Embrace your memories. Embrace the good times. Here's another thing that I feel is really, really important, when I say, don't dwell on the negative things of the past, learn from them, make sure that you don't repeat any behaviors or repeat things fall into traps.  (13:44)•    I knew that I was worth it. I knew that I was the example for my kids, and I knew that they watched me and our kids become a product of their environment, and we've got to create that environment wisely, so start recognizing the things that make you happy. And you'll be surprised what you find out. It most likely is not gonna be necessarily something that you want, it may be something that you already have for me, it's my deck, it's my backyard, it's my sanctuary outside where I'm able to get in touch with myself, I'm able to sit in that quiet.

71-Encore: Don’t Live DOWN to a Label, Live UP TO Your POTENTIAL

KEYNOTES DISCUSSED:•  We go through our lives and we have these dreams, we've got these expectations of our lives, and we sit here and we wonder, how do we get there? How do we reach this goal? Now, believe it or not, there are some people who don't have those kind of visions, those kind of dreams, but most likely those people aren't listening to this podcast. Because they just, they don't have visions like you do. You have visions of something that you want to happen in your life, you've got a place, you've got somewhere that you want to go...a goal to get to. (02:16)•  That's the kind of world that we live in now, everybody labels and the world of social media is vicious. Social media, it has helped a lot of people. It's helped me. If I didn't have social media, I wouldn't have been able to reach the people that I've been able to reach to build my business and create the connections that I've had that have moved me forward in my life. But I'll tell you this, that social media can be just as vicious, and what I want you to do is break the chains of that, I don't want you living in the chains of the labels. And I don't care who it is, I don't care if it is your family, your friends, your spouse or your kids. (04:11)•  If you're listening to this, I hope that you are a believer. I am a believer, I have faith, I know that God is real, I know that. I will tell you something, we have been blessed beyond measure in my family, and I know why, I know why, I don't live by somebody else's labels, I don't live by somebody else's judgment, I'm only judged by one, and that's not even me. Even though sometimes I sit here, and I might make judgments about my pictures and stuff like that, but that's not truth. (5:28)•  I'll never forget that. I am mad that I did believe it, but also it drove me to be more... It drove me to be more than that. It drove me to be something that I was told that I couldn't be successful. But whose idea of success are we living up to? Is it our idea of success, is it somebody else's idea of success? Because let me also tell you this, that once you reach a level of success, you're then criticized by a lot of the same people who told you that you couldn't do something, who told you that you couldn't do just that, and then you did. (8:09)•  It doesn't even take money, your faith is free, your faith and your belief in yourself is free. It doesn't cost you anything to move forward, you've got to take action though, if you want to be successful in any way. If you want to be able to pay your bills. Okay, that to me, there's a success right there. If you can pay your bills with comfort and still be able to breathe and enjoy your family later on, that to me, my friends, is success, winning. Continue winning. I love winning.

70-What Would You Do If You Lost Everything?

•   So it's something that you're going to have to keep going back to, it's the map. It's what you do. It's kind of like throwing spaghetti against the wall, you can just kind of go with things any way, but you're going to really want to have this foundation and do this every time with every business that you build. (4:38)•  What type of business is it, and why does it exist? So your mission statement, or your mission statement is your business's reason for existing, and what it represents. So if you think about Tesla, Tesla, their mission statement is to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy. Tesla and Elon Musk, they've got their vision and they're working towards it every single day. The dude doesn't stop...he literally does not stop. (7:39)•  You have to set boundaries. So I won't sacrifice my important time with my kids, all time with my kids is important. Right? But I remember there was our 20-year class reunion, and I was supposed to go... I hadn't been... I think I missed my 10 year, and I was supposed to go to the 20-year. I was really looking forward to it, but my daughter had a race, she raced quarter midgets, and I was like, Man, I really don't want to miss this race because she gets really excited about it and everything. Okay, so I did not go to the reunion, and thank God I didn't, because that was her first race that she won that day, had I gone, I would have missed that. (12:32)•  So, you're going to use social media, messenger, posts, groups, wherever you're going to have your contacts, share posts and whatnot. You can use phone. Now these, these are just five ideas, these are not set in stone, if you've got other ways to be able to do it, write those down. Whatever it is that you're going to be launching. These are just ideas. Alright, so phone, where you're going to use your phone for texting, person-to-person voice calls, communication apps such as Marco Polo, that's like a video texting service, voice texting, but your best way is to have an actual live conversation. (17:51)•  While you're building that up and dripping in and the social media design, map out your messages. So I had in the beginning, I had eight podcast subjects, eight subjects that I wanted to speak on, and then I just started mapping those out, I started creating the message for each of those, and then go ahead and work on strengthening your business plan because the stronger your foundation, the better. And the stronger and longer it's going to be around. Don't feel the need for it to be perfect, you just need it to be there. You've got to just have that vision to start with, and remember why you're doing it.

69-Staff Pick: Encore of Indicators for Business and Life with Kelly Cardenas

•  And it really started with my mom, my mom wrapped us up with love, we didn't have the most traditional upbringing, but she wrapped us in love, so it almost gave us the rose colored glasses to our whole entire life, and the things that they constantly said, I've paraphrased now, but it's a phrase that I use with my kids, which is, I'm perfectly wonderful, made in the image of God. (02:43)•  I don't believe that my parents believe that I could do anything, they believed in who I was as an individual, and I think that this was probably the most instrumental thing, that for me, because they didn't ask me to be my brother, they didn't ask me to be in those things, and my daughter said it to me the other day, which is awesome. I said, Be yourself, always. (04:48)•  It was desperation, it wasn't like an entrepreneurial spirit, it was like, we got free lunch at school, so we are got five tickets for free because we didn't have enough money to be able to get lunch, and then me and my brother would sell them and then we would buy the kind of lunch that we wanted. (8:24)•  I want to write it like I talk... When you read the book, and my take on this, I like when you read a book, it's like we're having a conversation like and I may not win a A in  how to write a book, but that was me, it came from my voice, and so I had wanted to do it for so long, and then my wife literally said, Why don't you shut up and go do it. (11:49)•  It's like when they're out of sync makes things a little bit difficult and you have little challenges, and it's about adaptability, and when things start changing what we're in now, we need to adapt to the world. I don't like the whole new normal thing, it makes me a little bit crazy, but we do have to roll with it.

They've always had money, or they've always been in that top percent, and I want you to share where you came from, where your situation when you decided, I'm not going to stay in this place.(03:27)•   Because I feel like it's similar to where I grew up, I never really knew anything outside of go to school, get a job, work your way up, do everything you can to impress your family, make them proud of you serve, serve, serve. I was raised in the church, and I just tried to always follow the rules, so I think the turning point for me was when I followed all the rules, and life still tanked that I knew something had to be wrong with the rules. It's kind of like what's going on in the world right now. Everybody's just wondering and following a set of rules that they stood by for so long and they don't realize that sometimes they need to find their own. (05:11)•   It was everything I knew and believed in, so I was determined to make it work. So, I got involved with network marketing, and I was officially the worst human they'd ever seen, I was so afraid and so broken down, and I sucked at sales. I knew nothing about sales, I was doing phone TV, internet as electricity, I was disconnecting people's phones, I was screwing it up, royally. People are like, we've had this phone over in our family for generations, I'm like, Well, isn't it nice to bring in the new year with new, and they're like, No, it's not. And I was like, I'm really sorry. So I was really, really bad. Even my mentors who were some of the top 10 in the world, I think it was just a gift they were given to me, were like, Honey, you're not great at this, like maybe you should seek other avenues and work on this on the side for the next decade and see if it'll work. (09:20)•   I really think I build their bravery enough to where they're brave enough, and we can have this conversation, the pin drop. And I'm like, I can build a business around that. So it's really helping someone be confident enough in that inner idea for a moment, and if they give me a moment, I can lay out a plan and a strategy for almost everything. Because my life was like three kids on my own having to do everything school, sports, house, everything, and I had to be so strategic in my every move that I can see someone's strategy from a mile away. They're like, it's the how I've got, it's the what that I need your help with.  (16:17)•   You've got the ripple effect. But a big one, and I feel like there are... How do I phrase this? So now I watch your Friday night lives and your posts and everybody, and all of the comments, and I think because I know you, and that it's not that I take it for granted, but I know how special you are, and not just me but to me and my girls, and I see all of those people who see you and you're such an inspiration to them, and I know that you inspire them so much and they just want to be in your presence.
