Episode Highlights:
- Jerry just hit his first goal of the year when he finished Jocko Willink’s book Extreme Ownership.
- Though Jerry usually listens to his books, he made it a point to both read and listen to Jocko’s book.
- Just like anything else, reading is a skill that takes time to get really good at, but the more you do it, the better you will be.
- Extreme Ownership taught Jerry how to take complete and total responsibility for every situation that he is in.
- Jacobe respects Ray Dalio because he has been able to grow one of the world’s largest hedge funds starting from nothing.
- Ray Dalio attributes his success to staying open-minded and learning from his mistakes by taking calculated risks.
- In the last year, Jacobe has realized that caring what others think of him has been holding him back.
- Looking back, Jerry has found himself playing small to make others comfortable, thus hindering his growth.
- Though in his head Jacobe questions what his clients think of his results, Jacobe knows that there isn’t much truth to it.
- Chasing perfection causes Jacobe to procrastinate, knowing that perfection doesn’t exist.
- Recently, Jacobe has been posting more on social media as he goes down his laundry list of topics that he wants to talk about.
- Having won 2 world championships in jiu jitsu as a blue belt, Jacobe has the mindset that his knowledge on the subject is very helpful.
- In his last tournament, Jacobe got put to sleep, and he felt comfortable enough to post the video online.
- If you want to make a video go viral, all you need to do is authentically provide value to your viewers.
- Being authentic doesn’t mean you have to be open about your demons, just remain honest about what is going on.
- Gary V and Grant Cardone do the exact same thing but in their own unique ways.
- J.D. Greer’s 90-day challenge in his book Gospel is helping Jerry deal with people and problems in his life.
- Successful people have a morning routine, so Jerry has decided to establish one of his own, starting at 6:30 am.
- Rather than just saying what he’s going to do, Jerry has made the choice to change his daily habits.
- Jerry does his best to stay realistic as to what it takes to be successful in his own life.
- Rather than using his planner as a driving force, Jerry uses it as a tool to help propel him forward.
- Jacobe is focusing more on setting goals with substance behind them rather than just aiming for some number.

- This year, Jerry hopes to balance out his busy life by bringing hobbies back into it, such as RC cars and fish tanks.
- Tax-delinquent properties are going to go through the roof this year because of the delay of tax payments allowed by the IRS.
- When marketing to tax-delinquent property owners, Jerry makes sure to present 3-4 options as to what they can do with their property.
3 Key Points:
- In Jocko Willink’s book, Extreme Ownership, Jerry learned to take ownership over everything in front of him via 4 methods: cover and move, keep things simple, prioritize and execute, and decentralized command.
- Jacobe has noticed that even though he tells himself that he doesn’t care what others think, he really does. Going forward, he looks to meet this head-on by remaining vulnerable and confident in his wisdom and experience.
- It’s incredibly important to have a “why” or reason behind what you are doing. Just aiming for numbers makes it difficult to pull yourself to do more work.
