Speaker 2:Good morning everybody. Hey, you notice the background's probably a little bit different. We are booted out of the office, we're redoing the flooring so we're not headed back till Sunday, so doing it from my house. It's a little chilly today, 69 degrees this morning, so if y'all see me shivering a little bit, that's what's up, so hope everyone's having an amazing day. It's freaking an awesome day here in Arizona.
Speaker 2:The call today is going to be, I don't know, relatively shorter, relatively quicker, because it's going to segment into what we're probably going to be covering over about the next month and that's time management, goal setting and mastery, just really dialing in our time and our goals so we could be the most productive that we could be Now. I want you to think about it this way, because I tell a lot of people this. A lot of people are like oh, I make six figures. Well, if you make a hundred grand a year, let's just say a hundred grand so you hit that six figure mark and you work 80 hours a week, you don't make six figures, you just got two $50,000 a year job. So get rid of my gum. When I talk about, you know, annual income, things like that, I do quick math and even though I don't agree with the 48, 40 hour work week, I just go to the 40 hour work week right Because don't agree with the 48, 40 hour work week, I just go to the 40 hour work week right Because if you want to work 40, 50, 60, 70 hours a week, that's totally fine. I think you should, especially if you're building. However, you've got to judge yourself off of the standard. You can't say, hey, I figured out how to make six figures, I'm doing well, and piss away 80 hours a week because it just doesn't make any sense. There's no point in making a bunch of money if you really can't enjoy it.
Speaker 2:So let's talk a little bit today and really, like I said, we're just gonna be set in the mind, but we're going to talk a little bit about, like, some time management stuff. So the first thing is is what is time? Time is where you are now and where you want to go, and all the bullshit that happens in the middle. At least that's my definition. There's probably some Webster nerd definition out there, but what I look as time is literally everything Every conversation you have, every step you take, every left, every right turn. You have, every new acquaintance. That's all within your timeline of time. So it's what happens between where you are now, where you're going. All that stuff in the middle is what happens in time, is what happens on your timeline.
Speaker 2:So we've got to really understand the psychology behind time management, because if you don't understand why you're doing something, then it's really hard to lock it in. It's really hard to actually dial it in and set goals based on your timeline if you really don't know what the hell that even means to you. So the psychology of actually coming up with a time management system is simply the fact you will be able to evaluate how much your time is worth. How many of you have ever taken your annual income and figured out your hourly rate? Meaning you go back to the 40 hour work week, 52 weeks in a year, roughly four weeks in a month, or, yeah, 52 weeks in a year, roughly 40 hours a week. You figure out what you're worth hourly. If you haven't done that, you can skip all that math I was just talking about and just go to Google and say you know, type in, if I make 225,000 a year, how much is that on an average and hourly rate? I then challenge you to divide that by 60 and get how much you're worth per minute.
Speaker 2:Because that one is going to tell you, hey, is this task worth doing, is this worth hiring someone out for? Am I just doing meaningless shit to keep myself busy because it makes myself feel good? We've all been there. How many people drop a one in the chat? How many times have you caught?
Speaker 2:Or if you've ever caught yourself just doing something because it makes you feel good, because you could tell yourself you're busy, it's not actually productive, it's just busy work, and then you feel good about it, you feel like you're contributing, but realistically you're just not doing nothing. Shit, it's my entire army career, right there, I'm just kidding. We did a lot of cool shit. But even in today's world there's times where I'll catch myself. I'm like what am I doing? Do I even need to do this? Could I hire someone to do this? Does anyone even need to do this? And I just feel good because I'm contributing to something, but realistically I'm not doing anything productive. So make sure you know, at minimum, what your hourly rate is. And also I recommend knowing what you're worth per minute, because if you know what you're worth per minute, you'll quickly be able to decide what tasks are worth doing, what tasks are worth putting off. And can you hire somebody?
Speaker 2:Because a lot of you who have figured out how to make $150,000, $200,000 a year. Your next step is probably another human being and it could be a virtual assistant. It could be an assistant, you know, an in-person assistant. It could be a million things. It could be some AI use. But you got to know what you're worth to decide if that's worth even bringing on. And then, for those of you that are still chasing that one 50 plus mark, you just need to become productive. You need to figure out throughout your day what do you do and is it worth it.
Speaker 2:So, with figuring out what your hourly and minutely rate is, the next thing you're going to do on that to figure out like just really an overall 30,000 foot picture of how much you're worth and how much you cost yourself is you need to write out in 15 minute segments what you do throughout the day. Now I would recommend putting about a. You know it's going to take. You're probably going to want to do it over three or four random days. Don't do it like the same week, but just three or four random days, so you can kind of average this stuff. But I would put like a three hour you know little alarm in my phone. That way I could quickly just jot down what I did each hour, you know, each 30 minutes, each 15 minutes, depending on how far you could break it down. That way you could really dial in.
Speaker 2:When you go home, sit down, write out your calendar long form, you could really dial in you know, the times that you were productive, the times that you completely just wasted time, things that you could get back, like if you look at your entire day. So let's just say you work 12 hours a day and you take, you know, 15 minutes to fuck off and do nothing for five or six times throughout the day. That's an hour and a half that you could potentially get back. That you may not even realize that you're wasting. That's an hour and a half. That when you go home and you bitch that you don't have time with your wife and kids, or you don't have enough time in the day to do this, or you can't do social media or whatever the excuse is, I guarantee you, if all you need is an hour, you have it in your day. Most of you and that includes myself. I'm no better than anyone on this call. I'm just implementing the same shit that I'm talking to you guys about.
Speaker 2:So once you kind of figure out your hourly, your minutely worth, go through and dial back like what you actually do. And then the cool thing is is, once you figure out your, you know how much you're worth per minute you'll be like shit. I'm worth a dollar 50 a minute. If I times a dollar 50 by, let's say, the 20 minutes I wasted, you know, on drinking a coffee, whatever it is, you know, spent 20 minutes at Starbucks. I stopped at Starbucks, spent 20 minutes there. You know, I do the math there and I'm like 20 bucks Okay, 30 bucks, so that drink, that Starbucks drink, cause it was a 20 minute detour for my full day. Ordering the coffee, getting it not only costed $8, but I also wasted 20 minutes. Therefore, that was a $38 coffee. How many of you would go order a $38 coffee at Starbucks right now? How many of you just realized that you might've ordered a $38 Starbucks coffee this morning?
Speaker 2:It's how you value your time. It's how you see things. It's how you perceive. Perceive things. And then I also want you to put a number Once you get this far, I want you to put a number on your family's time or your personal time.
Speaker 2:I typically, you know, rule of thumb. What I say or what I use in my life is my time with my family. When I put out something on my calendar that I'm going to go do with them is usually about three times what I make per minute. So I've got to be able to justify that three. Also, that's income. I look at that as income coming in. When I get to spend time with them, when I get to do things that I want, that's income coming in. So that's 3x what I typically average for a year.
Speaker 2:Therefore, for those of you that have asked for my time on Sundays, you guys know that's my Sunday time. Your ass is going to pay a lot of fucking money if you want my Sunday time and it's nothing against you, it's nothing against anyone on this call it's that my wife and my kids come before you because I've got to have that structure to my life too. Now will I take a small call here or there? Absolutely. But if, for some reason, you want me to, you know, take my whole Sunday off and go do some shit that I really probably don't want to do. I'm going to make you pay for it because guess what Y'all think I get all that money. No, they get fucking two thirds of it. My family's the worst government. They tax my ass every day. So that's why I do. That is because I know my, I know my time and I know what like my family is. I know what my activities are worth to me. And then, because I'm an analytical nerd, I could just judge whether or not I do shit based on numbers, based on monopoly bucks, and it makes judging what you're going to do with your life and if it's worth it a lot easier. Plus, when you're in the grind mode, when you're in the struggle, you're going to look at things and you go. Holy shit. Going to the bar for two hours is actually going to cost me $560 for three drinks. Fuck that.
Speaker 2:The next thing everybody needs to do is figure out a time block method. I'm going to go deeper into this one on another call. But you know there's creating the many days create. You know four, six hour segments throughout the day and lock your days into that. There's just simply, you know, while you're at work, eight to five, eight to nine, eight to whatever the hell you work at, simply writing out your day in 30 minutes to an hour.
Speaker 2:For those of you that sell things, where you don't always know what the client's going to show up, you have to create loose time blocks. You have to create some sort of like overtime in your calendar, like if you take a customer for three hours and it killed your phone call time, that way you don't have any appointments set up for the next day. You need to have some OT in there to set appointments so your calendar doesn't die. For those of you who are maybe in like an insurance game where you can, you know, really, dial in your calendar to the minute, dial in your calendar to the minute, set some reminders on your phone to click off and, oh, next task, next task, everyone on this call. You know yourself better than anybody else. So when it comes to time block sessions, like cold calls or warm calls or whatever it is, if you can't go four hours, if you can't go two hours, don't put a four hour time block in there. If you can't go two hours, maybe bring it down to an hour, get used to that hour and then give yourself a 15 minute reset segment.
Speaker 2:Create the habits. Also, common sense dictates If nobody picks up their phone from like noon to five because your typical client is a business owner, like you sell a home services product, but your typical client is someone who works, don't call them while they're at work. It may work a little bit and you know, in the auto game sometimes it was but if you're going to have a true time block session, why not go from six to eight? I know some of you are W2 and can't really get away with it, but my favorite time to call people is after about six, six, 30. Why? Because they're done with dinner, the stress is over and they're a little bit more relaxed and their guard is down. A lot of times when I try calling people from like 10 to two, they're just busy realizing they haven't done shit all day at work and they're trying to find something to do. So I don't have as much, you know, greatest conversation. So the way I look at it, if I'm going to take any time off and I'm going to go do something, maybe I'll take my wife out to lunch or some shit, cause it's not going to cost me as much, because my 10 to two hours aren't nearly as valuable as my evening hours, so make sure your time blocks written out, make sure you have an idea of what everything looks like. And there's like a lot of technology We'll cover this later but there's like a lot of technology, things like that that you could really use to dial this. I mean hell, there's AI technologies now that will completely dial in your schedule for you. I haven't worked with one yet, so I'm not going to recommend any, but I know I've been getting a bunch of ads for him, so I'll probably screw with one here pretty soon.
Speaker 2:But dealing with procrastination and minimizing distractions procrastination is all about doing shit that you don't want to do. Like when we simplify what procrastination is it's doing the things that you don't want to do now because you know they need to get done. So really and I know a lot of people hate hearing this here's how you like get over procrastinating, procrastinating. Go to the fucking gym every single morning. You know you need to do it. It's good for you, it's going to wake your ass up. Go every single freaking morning. Get yourself to the gym. Um, eat healthy. That's going to break the procrastination, because when you can control your mind to get over those things that you really don't want to do, like eat healthy instead of a burger, go to the gym, wake up at five am. It's not even about going to the gym, it's just about getting your ass out of bed at 5 am when you don't want to do it, so you can get your day going, so you're not slow playing till noon.
Speaker 2:When you're able to do those things, the little itty bitty thing at work like uh, hey, get this project done real quick. Oh, shoot, I need to do this PowerPoint for a speech. May not have forgotten to do it, but got to do a little PowerPoint tomorrow. I don't really want to do it. It's not the funnest thing on my schedule. Uh, my assistant doesn't do things like that, so I'm stuck doing it. So I got to do it right after this call, otherwise I'll never get it done. They're going to be pissed off at me.
Speaker 2:So whatever little things you got to do in your mind day, you got to consistently kick your own butt and say, hey, I'm worth doing this. I'm going to kick my own ass and fuck you. It needs to get done now, not tomorrow, because the thing is, if you procrastinate it for tomorrow, it's probably not that big of a deal or you're not that big of a deal. Pick which one you want. If you don't value yourself to get shit done, then go ahead and procrastinate. If the task isn't that big of a deal, I don't really call it procrastinating. It's um, it's uh, fucking managing your tasks. There's a better word for it. But you get what I'm saying. If you think you're a big deal, if you think you're going to have a big life, quit procrastinating the big, uh, big decisions you need to make.
Speaker 2:The next part is minimize distractions. So the reason I came out outside on this call today other than it's you know, I think we're about 75 degrees now and my computer's overheating I heard the fan kick in a second ago is there's a bunch of people in my house right now because we don't well, we're getting the floors we've done so we're all booted from the office on Sunday. If I was in there it's like you've heard me while I do these calls from the office you'll see me pull my attention away real quick, cause I'll hear some noise in the background. If you've ever been to one of our live events and you've come in a day or two early, you know how our office runs. It's distracting as fuck.
Speaker 2:Sometimes you've got to eliminate distractions. Have you? Have you guys seen and this is stay away from going political, but people are fucking poor for a reason? Have you guys seen those new like, um, the iPhone or the fucking Apple, whatever it's called, the Apple fricking? Uh ear over the head earphones the other day? Yeah, so everybody's wearing. I'm seeing them at the gym, I'm seeing them on the street, I'm seeing them, you know, at the office. Now I live in North Scottsdale so it's a semi fluent area like right, but like I'm literally seeing them everywhere.
Speaker 2:So I'm like I go into Best Buy the other day and I'm like, oh, I'll buy my, my wife and I a pair. They're pretty dope. Like you know, they'd probably cancel it. No, I hate the little earbuds Cause they don't really fit in my ears. Well, I'm like I like those. They look slim, they look good.
Speaker 2:You know everyone that has them fucking headphones and everyone's wearing them. And most people aren't using them to eliminate distractions. Most people are using them to create distractions. And then everyone and their mom wants to bitch about how they don't have money, how incomes haven't gone up, how inflation is through the roof. You want to know why? Because you're buying $530 fucking headphones. Now, if you can afford it, by all means go buy it.
Speaker 2:Once I get over them being $530 headphones, I'll probably go buy a pair. But you ever been like kicked in the ass? Maybe I should have just to do it. But like, when you're expecting it to be about two 300 bucks like which I think is a lot for fucking headphones, it's like gosh dang, y'all really jacking the price up. I love it.
Speaker 2:But now I got to think about it, cause I'm a little bitch, apparently, but realistically, like you've got to eliminate distractions, so I'll throw like my uh, my iPad earbuds and if I just in 30 minutes, if I know I'm going to be dialing for an hour and I want a true dial session, I'll set a timer on my phone where I can see it. You know, countdown from 60 and I don't do shit. I won't like the minute it goes. Hang up, I'm dialing the next number. If you are one of the rare people that actually pick up when I'm, you know, on a little dial session nowadays and you're like, hey, give me just a second. I got to leave a notes. It's because I'm dialing the next number before I've even called your ass.
Speaker 2:Now, that being said, depending on what industry you're in, I don't recommend you doing that, um, and I don't say I got to leave, because how many of you dial insurance agents, stuff like that, and like, out of 10 people you dial, if you're buying a cold list, two of them might pick up right. How many of you people in the CRM type no answer or client did not answer? You know what. I type NA, because I know what NA, what NA means. Or I type NAVM, that means NA. I sent a voicemail.
Speaker 2:I have all these little itty bitty shorts in my life so I get every second back Because if I'm using a dialer I'm moving fucking fast. Now, if I'm using the right dialer, it'll log notes like that and shit for me, but I've got to move fast. I've got to eliminate those little itty bitty things in my life that slow me down. I've got to eliminate the amount of time my phone's not ringing. I've got to eliminate the amount of time I'm leaving notes, but I still have to leave great fricking notes.
Speaker 2:So a lot of times I talk to people it's like is it really worth it that you type NA over no answer? Absolutely, it saves me about three seconds and if I dial 300 times a day, I'm probably going to get about 70 NAs. So if I get 70 times three seconds someone who's smart, do the math. It's a little bit of time back. And then, if I know my minutely rate, if I know my minutely rate and I figure, okay, if I'm going to be dialing for the next 20 years of my life, if I'm going to be doing this, if I'm going to be doing that, I could figure out how much that minute's worth, and I guarantee you it's probably a hundred thousand plus dollars in 20 years of me. Just simply saying you know what? Let's teach myself to type NA. Know what NA means? And not not available or not not applicable means no answer NA space, vm. No answer. Voicemail NA space NO space, vm no answer. No. Voicemail NAT no answer text.
Speaker 2:All these little itty bitty things are buying me a second here, a second there, and I'm getting rid of all the distractions that waste those seconds, because I'm not going to say that I may or not occasionally put you on mute. If I have to uh, you know, if I've drank in a lot of water that day, I try to. Uh, you know, get a, get a gallon in. So occasionally, if y'all telling me a story, I'm just saying got to save some time. So, that being said, eliminate distractions.
Speaker 2:Remember, we're going to go deeper into these. I've got about 25 segments. We're going to go be going deeper and I'm actually building a professional level course on time management goal setting. So this is a little bit of kind of a combination. You guys are getting a little sneak preview. So we're going to eliminate distractions for those of you that are in a management position, or really just yourself.
Speaker 2:Because here's the thing like you're a car salesperson right, let's just say that. And you're a W2 employee, you're working for someone else. Like, I'm not saying this and I'm not saying not to do this, I'm not saying try to get your ass fired, but I'm also saying your employer will never, never know if you hire a VA to help you with your social media. My VA costs me a thousand dollars a month. You guys don't even know what she does, but she makes me well over a thousand dollars a month and she interacts with a lot of you. By the way. Just saying not saying a VA is for everybody, but I'm saying if you're to the point where you truly don't have time and you figured it out. You're not wasting a bunch of stuff. You need to start effectively delegating things that you can delegate Social media posts. Just, you know social media is huge. Social media is huge. You can have anyone do that. Teach them a little bit here, teach them a little bit there. Just get them to engage with you If you're in a position where you know we had the rest flips whips guy.
Speaker 2:If you guys have ever seen his IG channel, he was down with us this weekend Great, great guy. Um, I recommend following him on IgE. He's got some very, very funny sales content out there. Uh, it's Russ flips whips, but you know he has Sundays off. By Pennsylvania law they have Sundays off at the dealership. That's when he shoots his content. His brother helps him shoot content and who also works at the dealership? His wife is sometimes around shooting content with him. He's just using other areas to go ahead and get it. The guy's got over 400,000 people on Instagram, a ton on TikTok. I mean he makes more money on TikTok and Instagram than most of you make in a month selling shit and he still sells shit and gets paid for that and his life's a lot easier because he did the damn work and then he started to delegate the work when he got busy.
Speaker 2:So do that. Create routines in your life. We'll go into that more. That's going to be a lot about time blocking. That's going to be a lot about doing the same thing every day waking up at the gym 5.00 AM, getting your butt to the gym, things like that. Uh, stress management. I think stress management comes a lot into coming up with a drive for yourself. If you're doing things to live day by day and you really don't have a master plan of your life, if you don't have your goals and your long-term plan written out, it's going to be a lot more stressful when the little things go wrong and it slows you down a lot more. It kicks you in the butt. If you're planning every week, if you're planning every month I'm not against weekly, monthly, you know annual plans but at the same time, you need to have the drive of what your five, 10 year perfect life looks like. So you could push. So on a shitty day, a shitty week, you know when you don't hit your goal, you haven't failed your plan. Energy management energy management is huge. Energy management is huge.
Speaker 2:This one was huge for me when I was drinking still, because you know I like I've I've told you on these calls a lot, like I'd outperform 90% of you fuckers and I don't mean by you fuckers, but I mean by you fuckers I'd outperform 90% of fuckers on earth with a fricking hangover until noon, like no shit. So I thought I was better than everyone. I thought I was a badass, but realistically I was pissed off at myself because I was wasting energy and I knew it. I would get to the office before everybody at seven and I really wouldn't wake up till noon. So I don't even know what I was doing there other than just breathing their air and wasting wasting air for everybody else. Like I was robbing people. I was bad, um, so I relate energy management to me.
Speaker 2:One struggle I had was, um, you know, the use of alcohol Cause you'd start drinking at six, seven, whenever you went off and then, even if I only had three or four, like you know, I could probably work. I actually dial pretty well with a good little buzz. I'll screw some people up if I have to break some objections down. It's freaking fun. But I usually didn't do it. I usually would have a couple drinks bullshit with someone for a little bit, and then I'd go sit, you know, maybe play some call of duty. Basically, go be Worthless, go relax because I earned it.
Speaker 2:Um, and then I'd wake up the next morning and just be a little bit slower, you know, go into the gym. It would take me an extra 10 minutes. I'd half-ass the fucking gym, I'd get to work and then I would just be a little bit sluggish till about noon hit. The noon would hit and I'd fricking take off for two, three hours. I literally three hours. I would work and I would get a full day in and then about three or four, you kind of get the cravings. Ooh, what am I doing after work? Yeah, going to go have a drink.
Speaker 2:So, from like three to five, three to six, you just think about what you're going to drink when you're going to drink and all that stupid shit. And it was just a constant waste of energy. So it's the same thing with other little habits or other little distractions we have. Do you scroll on Instagram reels wasting your energy? If it's just negative bullshit going into your mind, if it's not giving you value, it's just energy you don't have, are you going out of your way.
Speaker 2:Are you going into the office and then going 30, 40 minutes down the street to get the best lunch in town? They got the best fricking hot dog or whatever and you waste two hours of your day, not only two hours a day. You get there, you slam the hot dog. Now you got the meat sluts for the next hour. Now you're at three freaking hours and you've just slow played your entire day. So really conserve your energy. Are you and here's the tough one Are you putting around people, are you putting yourself around people that absorb all your energy? Are you having to hear all the negative bullshit in the back of the office about how the world's burning interest rates are up? Everyone's dying? Are they just sucking the energy out of you so you don't have it for yourself and your clients and your family? This, this energy subject, this energy management, is probably going to be a mini course on its own when I put this together, just because there's so many fricking topics that we got to cover with it.
Speaker 2:But think about who's using your energy. Think about when you get home, if you ever say this to your wife and kids, and for those of you that don't have a wife and kids, or husband and kids, or you know you're single right now. All the power to you, but try to put it in perspective in your, in your life, in some way or another. When you get home and your wife and kids want to do something and you say, ah, fucking tired, let me just relax for a minute, I'm tired. I want you, the next time those words or thoughts come into your head, out of your mouth, I want you to go back and I want you to go find one hour in the day that you wasted your energy and I want you to ask yourself was that wasted energy more valuable than the hour I could have given my wife and kids? So treat your energy, because your energy is your time. Your energy is going to produce everything that happens inside your timeline. So treat your energy as it's sacred, because you only have so freaking much. We all got to eventually go night night time someday reset, rebuild.
Speaker 2:We'll cover a little bit on the course and as we go deeper into this segment about, you know, throwing in breaks a little bit. It's okay to take a break, it's okay to take a little vacation here and there. It's okay to celebrate your wins, but you've got to do them at the right time for the right reasons. Uh, we're going to talk about, you know, overcoming setbacks. Setbacks are actually one of the best things that are going to happen to you. We're going to talk about, you know, overcoming setbacks. Setbacks are actually one of the best things that are going to happen to you.
Speaker 2:I had two texts in the last 48 hours, some people that were training with us and if you're on this call, I love you, just take this as personal training. But it was like, hey, man, I need to cancel this. You know, I've had a lot of stuff happen. I can't find any time with my kids and I go. You're, you're. You're training with us for more than just money. You're training with us for mindset. You're training with us to become productive. Right, everything we do is going to dictate where we get.
Speaker 2:It's not just about the money. The money's going to help, trust me, if you're broke and have all these problems, personal problems everyone says they have, don't have enough time for the kids, this and that. Trust me, being broke isn't going to help that one fucking bit. It's only going to make it harder, because then, when you're supposed to be doing X with the kids or this and that what's on your mind? Oh fuck, how am I going to pay the bills when you look over at your time, sometimes doing some shit you don't want to do? Like, trust me, your kids don't want to see you for three hours a night.
Speaker 2:I just want to be real, like go back to you being a child and I know most of us we may have not had a great childhood. I mean I grew up with a single parent and she worked. She was eventually the vice president of general electricity telecom. My mom was never fricking home. We ran I mean we, we were that cool house. You know where you went over and there was no like parental supervision. So that's where we hung out, blew shit up in the yard, like we had that house but like we had no parent. It was fricking sweet, but like I could bitch about that, I could cry about that, but realistically, she taught me like that you got to occasionally put in the work and she also taught me, seeing her be single and work her off like that that, hey, I should probably treat Brittany pretty good Cause she does a lot. That's my wife, by the way. I should probably treat Brittany pretty well Cause she does a lot for our lives and, at the same time, like I need to be able to provide all the way around, because I've been broke growing up and I've had decent money growing up and I promise you this, the love doesn't really change. None of that shit changes, but I guarantee you life's a lot fucking easier.
Speaker 2:So the first thing is we take the handcuffs off of you know, barely getting by, barely having money, barely this, barely that. Then we're going to tear fitness up, we're going to tear relationships up with your family, like, but we've got to get you to the point where you know how to get off the golden handcuffs of societies like, just excuse me, holding you there based on the dollar, cause the dollar is fake. If anybody needs more, let me know I'll send you some monopoly money. It's basically the same fucking valuation, just how you perceive it. That's it so. Or hit up my, my buddy, ken Ken, can help you out a little bit too, reviewing and adjusting plans. We're going to hit. We're going to hit that a little bit of just far, just as far as like, hey, we set a goal, we need to reevaluate we're. We're behind, we're forward. We'll tear that up, the role of your habits into your time management. So we're just going to combine those two.
Speaker 2:We will hit some stuff on time management for teams. So that's going to be leaders. That's going to be leaders helping your team create time blocks. Leaders helping yourself create time blocks when you have, you know, other variables, which would be your team members, because you know team members are some of the hardest people to manage. Why? Because team members? Because you know team members are some of the hardest people to manage. Why? Because it's super easy to manage a computer. It's super easy to manage a machine. It just does what you want and when it breaks, you know who to call to fix the motherfucker people. They make their own damn decisions. So how do you manage, how do you help them manage their time so you can manage your time and be an effective leader? Um, we'll do some advanced stuff as far as team strategy goes in this and yeah, then we'll just kind of recap everything. So that is really a overall view over the next probably 30 days of what we're going to cover on these calls.
Speaker 2:So for the next four weeks, these are going to be time management and goal setting. These are really, really going to dial in. We've set up your why, we've set up your perfect day. We've we've given you the power to create that perfect image, that like that, that future that you can smell, taste, see, like. If you can't fucking smell your future, you need to figure it out. And what I mean by that is I really mean that I'm not talking in some analogy or some um, something like that. I'm literally like, if you can't smell the smell of like, let's just hypothetically say Greg is like I want to move to fucking Hawaii, and Greg has never been to Hawaii in his life. Greg needs to go, take his ass to Hawaii so he can smell what Hawaii smells like. So when he envisions Hawaii with his future, he knows what it looks like and what it smells like.
Speaker 2:That's the level of these goals is, you need to know everything about them. If you want to have some 10,000 square foot house someday, you need to figure out a way to put yourself in a 10,000 square foot house. If you want to have a million dollars in the bank, you need to go find a buddy who's got a million in the bank and ask to see, um, a printout of their bank statement or some stupid shit like that. Or go to one of those stupid things where someone pulls out a million dollar cash and $20 bills. You can usually Google it and find it. There's some moron doing some public marketing scheme with a million milli Like go look what a million looks like so you can visually see what all of these things look like and start putting yourself around people that have done what you want to do and have out done what you want to be.
Speaker 2:I know a lot of people are like ah, but no one in my small town, oregon, cool, cool, there's some big players in a small town. There's also airplanes. It's fucking cheap to fly nowadays. You just got to fly Southwest. It's better in Alaska, though the, the, the doors stay on Southwest, so you know, good for them.
Speaker 2:But what I'm saying is, if you want the big life, if you want time management, if you want abundance, if you want that, you've got to be able to smell it, you've got to be able to see it, you've got to be able to taste it. And then, when you get that fricking delusional about your time, your goals, everything, you'll be able to achieve them. Because if you don't have emotion behind what you want to do, if you don't actually know what it kind of feels like, kind of looks like, kind of tastes like, kind of smells like. Like you ain't going to freaking, do it Like I'm 99% sure I hate carrots. I can't remember the last time I've tried a fucking carrot. Now, it's not one of the goals that I'm like I need to eat fucking carrots. I don't give a shit about carrots, but it's like one of those things that I'm saying like I don't actually know what it tastes like, I just assumed I hate it. So what if you actually hate your goal? What if you go three, four years down the road and you realize like, oh man, I don't even give a shit about that? What if you've never had a taste of it? And then go to the go to the opposite of that. It's like a who was it? Steve Harvey, I think it was said if you've never, if you want a big life and you want to do big things and I'm paraphrasing the hell out of this, and it might not even be Steve Harvey, I think it is but if you want to kind of get a taste of what it's like luxury life, right?
Speaker 2:How many people have worn some cheap ass shit from Walmart and then worn some designer shit. That was a designer shit worth a hundred times more I don't know, maybe nine times out of 10, it's a hell of a lot more comfortable. How many of you have worn like a Lulu lemon shirt versus a regular t-shirt that's branded? These shirts fit way better. I look way better. They're more form fitting, they're more comfortable. They're also about a hundred dollars a piece.
Speaker 2:How many people have flown first fucking class? I'm six foot three. I don't fucking fly. I don't fly economy. If you're going to book my ass somewhere, you're also booking a freaking first class ticket, because it sucks ass. You know how nice it is to get a drink and a little snack before you take off and then while you're in the air, it's freaking dope.
Speaker 2:How many people have flown private? Holy shit, there's a whole nother level and if you've never actually done it, I promise you this Spend the money and do it sometime. Even if you just fly, let's just say, phoenix to LA, I could go fly JSX, which is like right in between first class and private. It's semi-chartered, no TSA, none of that. You can arrive at the airport for 20 minutes prior to your flight, get on and take off. It's fricking easy If you've never done something like that, go do it and don't make it a big like.
Speaker 2:If you were in Phoenix right now and I'm just saying this because I know this, because it's where I live and I'm like you know what, I've never experienced a first-class, experienced private you know what I would do. I would go to jsxcom or I would go to um I don't think Southwest has first class I would go to United or American airwayscom and I would fly into first class ticket somewhere like two hours away. It's going to cost you 500 bucks around trip and I would go fricking experience it. Even if it's a day trip, even if you go fly to Cleveland and I don't even know what the hell is in Cleveland, you go fly to Cleveland. You spend 24 hours, maybe you get yourself a little four-star, five-star hotel room. You go down, have a drink, have a great fricking dinner, do all of that stuff. Like that's what I would do. I would get that fricking experience under my belt so I taste it, smell it, see it, feel it and I would realize, holy shit, that's the life I want.
Speaker 2:Now you may be five foot two in a first class ticket Doesn't mean shit to you. I totally get it. You may be a fucking car guy. If you're a car guy and you've got dreams of Ferraris and Lamborghinis and you've never driven one, go fucking rent one Now. Don't post it on Instagram and tell everyone you own it and shit, but post it on Instagram and tell everyone your story. Holy shit, I've always wanted an F12 my entire life. I've never actually driven one, I've never actually smelt one, I've never actually tasted one. I don't even know if they're different than a BMW. Go rent that Ferrari F12, drive it your 150 miles, because it's like fucking $5 a mile. After that, be careful, um, build the story off of it. Go taste it, smell it, fill it.
Speaker 2:So when you go to work every day, when you have the decision to save $20 or go buy you a Big Mac, you have actual emotion attached to it that you can lock in. That's the level that we have got to get with our goals and with our time is where everything is so intentional, everything is so dialed that we know what we're doing. So, that being said, I'm going to open it up to questions for a little bit of time and keep the questions relevant. Keep them very, very simple. I don't want to go into like some crazy, crazy subjects on this today because, like I said, I'm going to break it down over the next four weeks. But if you want to ask something while I'm here, I always like to open it up to questions. So someone raise your little yellow clicky hand and we'll handle a few of them. There we go, becky.
Speaker 1:I just wanted to. I don't have a question, oh thanks, yeah, I don't have a question. I just wanted to say thanks for the reminder. You know, we really invest in ourselves in not just with accountability, but also mindset coaching, and it's really you get whatever you put into it. Right, and I just wanted to. I just wanted to say thanks, as I was listening to you. I just went out and ran a seven minute mile, which I've never done before, let alone three months after kicking cancer's ass. So it really is all about that mindset and I'm I'm grateful that you shared that message today. Thank you.
Speaker 2:Awesome, thank you. I saw another hand pop up. They're like I'm not talking after Becky. Fuck that, she's a bad-ass. That was me, jonathan, but I tried. I figured my own question out, good job. Hey, y'all have an amazing, freaking day. I'm going to let everyone go. Um, go do something great today, like we always say. And here's one thing I want you to do Go out. And actually I'm going to take three minutes to ramble.
Speaker 2:You've seen on YouTube TikTok, like the Mr Beast type stuff, the hundred dollar dinners, the thousand dollar dinners, where everyone you know puts on a hundred bucks and tips the waitresses, and then you always see the fucking haters. You always see the haters. Why can't you just do nice shit? So fucking, you don't have to expect anything out of it. And here's what I want to say. Like that used to be me, I would never say anything because I don't have time to fucking hate on people, but I always used to be the person in the back of my mind going why do you have to fucking tell everyone the shit is? Because if you don't, we don't realize no one's doing anything. So I want you to, I want you to challenge, I want to challenge you on this today. I really want to challenge you on this today. I know how to fix the world's hate problem. I know how to fix 99% of problems we have in America and are on earth.
Speaker 2:Pick up some fucking trash and here's the thing. Here's the thing. When you're out in public, when you're out at the mall, when you're out in the Safeway parking lot, you see a piece of trash. You're going to pick it up and you're going to lift it and you're going to walk it to a trash receptacle and you're going to put it away. You're going to walk by a shopping cart that's not in the little shopping cart thing and you're going to put it away. And you're not. Those type of little itty bitty things. Those little itty bitty things aren't going to matter, those you're not going to go right out and put on Facebook and Instagram, but you're letting another man and woman see you.
Speaker 2:And I promise you this if we can create this flow of just so much, if we can start creating a standard of grabbing the shopping cart and putting it away, it will eventually catch on. But we need more people to do those little things every single day, because if you don't, you just always assume ah, someone else is going to do it. Someone else is going to do it, just like your fucking business. If you assume someone else is going to save you, someone else is going to come in and make you money. Some other marketer knows the scheme. It's the exact same thing.
Speaker 2:So I challenge you on this Go out and contribute to society in a small way every single day. If you walk by a piece of trash, start making it a habit in your life to pick it up. It'll make you view the world in a better place, as a better place, and it will also show others the way to live. Because we cannot, as humans men, women, humans we cannot bitch, cry, complain about society If we're not trying to do a damn thing to fix it. So I challenge you this today this isn't about going out and shaking someone's hand and making someone feel good. This is just about picking up a little piece of trash. And I know it's nasty, sturdy, you really give a shit Carry, fucking hand sanitizer Me. I'm just trying to get immune to fucking everything. You know why COVID didn't fuck with me? Because I've done had that shit way worse. So I've had COVID.
