advantage of their powerful AI tools like Magic

Desk to optimize audio levels and remove background

00:01:18.609 --> 00:01:23.819
noise with just a single click. And I also use

00:01:23.819 --> 00:01:27.420
Podcastle to automatically transcribe my episodes,

00:01:27.540 --> 00:01:30.400
which not only lets me share the final transcript

00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:34.900
with all of you, my listeners, on different channels,

00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:38.239
but it even allows me to use their text editor

00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:42.780
to clean up any of the episode content I don't

00:01:42.780 --> 00:01:47.040
like. And of course, randomly edit the audio

00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:51.159
accordingly. Podcastle is amazing. All -in -one

guide .com len uh what a great way you're to

00:04:32.149 --> 00:04:36.370
start the year with len uh because you know even

00:04:36.370 --> 00:04:41.730
though it's uh in february of 2024 i consider

00:04:41.730 --> 00:04:46.209
january february march still the beginning of

00:04:46.209 --> 00:04:49.529
the year versus it's not like it's not december

00:04:49.529 --> 00:04:56.259
so It still counts. My January is busy. I'm doing

00:04:56.259 --> 00:04:59.920
statistics. Come on. Give me some stocking. There

00:04:59.920 --> 00:05:05.769
you go. There you go. But so I felt like this

00:05:05.769 --> 00:05:08.490
would be a great time to have you back on because,

00:05:08.569 --> 00:05:14.569
you know, I enjoyed your book 1 % more. And I've

00:05:14.569 --> 00:05:19.769
also, I always enjoy talking to you and seeing

00:05:19.769 --> 00:05:23.649
what you've been up to. Yeah, Jimmy, I agree.

00:05:23.709 --> 00:05:26.370
I always enjoyed our conversation. I think we've

00:05:26.370 --> 00:05:28.610
known each other about three, four years now.

00:05:29.339 --> 00:05:33.019
meeting through, I think we met online. You reached

00:05:33.019 --> 00:05:36.459
out to me. You've been on my podcast called The

00:05:36.459 --> 00:05:39.220
Extraordinary Being Movement. We've interviewed

00:05:39.220 --> 00:05:43.819
you. We've kind of helped each other out in different

00:05:43.819 --> 00:05:46.660
ways. So I've enjoyed our friendship together.

00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:50.279
So I do appreciate you. So thank you very much,

00:05:50.379 --> 00:05:54.560
Jimmy. So I was wondering, how are you kicking

00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:59.649
off your 2024 year so far? Be in action. You

00:05:59.649 --> 00:06:03.810
know, you were saying about how we're already

00:06:03.810 --> 00:06:09.790
up to February. People, there's a lot of people

00:06:09.790 --> 00:06:12.790
out there who set goals January 1st who probably

00:06:12.790 --> 00:06:16.569
haven't even started them yet. And now it's four

00:06:16.569 --> 00:06:20.170
weeks in, already into a new month. And they're

00:06:20.170 --> 00:06:24.529
probably still thinking about getting them started

00:06:24.529 --> 00:06:29.540
and not putting them into action. And that's

00:06:29.540 --> 00:06:31.360
OK, because like you said, Jimmy, you still have

00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:33.300
February, you have March, you know, still the

00:06:33.300 --> 00:06:35.939
beginning of the year. But don't use that as

00:06:35.939 --> 00:06:39.040
procrastination. So what I like to do, I like

00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:43.740
to be in action. I like to write out what I'm

00:06:43.740 --> 00:06:46.220
looking to accomplish. And I don't make very

00:06:46.220 --> 00:06:52.019
big goals. I make goals that are meaningful and

00:06:52.019 --> 00:06:54.420
that things that I can accomplish. I can keep

00:06:54.420 --> 00:06:58.470
rewarding myself along the way. And it also builds

00:06:58.470 --> 00:07:02.910
up to my bigger goals. So every day I have something,

00:07:03.069 --> 00:07:07.170
a task list that I am working towards, which

00:07:07.170 --> 00:07:09.930
is working towards the big goal that I'm looking

00:07:09.930 --> 00:07:14.589
to achieve. So it's just taking those steps,

00:07:14.670 --> 00:07:17.310
doing that 1 % more. All right, I'm going to

00:07:17.310 --> 00:07:20.350
plug my book here. All right, Jimmy, you know

00:07:20.350 --> 00:07:24.350
the comment. It's all about doing that 1 % more.

00:07:24.610 --> 00:07:27.240
That's all you need to do. You know, a lot of

00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:29.899
people are out there trying to 10X things to,

00:07:29.939 --> 00:07:35.180
you know, go all in, go big, go home. That's

00:07:35.180 --> 00:07:39.060
great, but it burns you out. It's great to have

00:07:39.060 --> 00:07:43.000
those big, big goals. It's great to go for the

00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:46.259
moon. But a lot of people don't even know what

00:07:46.259 --> 00:07:49.120
that looks like or how to even get to the moon,

00:07:49.139 --> 00:07:52.720
so to speak. So you have to start off in small

00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:56.470
increments doing that. doing those little things

00:07:56.470 --> 00:08:01.209
that can build upon step by step to get you to

00:08:01.209 --> 00:08:03.670
the moon, to your big golden light. And that's

00:08:03.670 --> 00:08:06.589
really just doing 1 % more, just doing that little

00:08:06.589 --> 00:08:09.490
extra for yourself each and every day. And that

00:08:09.490 --> 00:08:11.949
can be going, for example, going to the gym,

00:08:12.089 --> 00:08:15.589
doing one extra rep, one extra set. It could

00:08:15.589 --> 00:08:22.089
be saving money, saving another 1 % more of your

00:08:22.089 --> 00:08:26.120
savings, putting that away. And it won't be necessarily

00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:29.300
very fast. If you're looking the fast, easy way,

00:08:29.459 --> 00:08:34.460
you're not going to find it. It takes time. It

00:08:34.460 --> 00:08:40.080
takes patience. It takes you to be resilient

00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:45.860
and motivated and focus on the big picture. And

00:08:45.860 --> 00:08:48.379
that's why it's so important to understand what

00:08:48.379 --> 00:08:50.679
your purpose is in life, where you want to go.

00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:53.419
And a lot of people struggle with that. They

00:08:53.419 --> 00:08:56.220
don't know where they want to go. They can't

00:08:56.220 --> 00:08:58.320
really see the big picture because they've never

00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:02.820
been there. So that's why I suggest and even

00:09:02.820 --> 00:09:07.779
do for myself, go for the smaller picture. You

00:09:07.779 --> 00:09:11.919
know, accomplish that first. Then expand upon

00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:14.879
it and expand upon it and expand upon it. And

00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:19.279
in no time, what you thought was going to take

00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:22.649
forever, you've already accomplished it. You've

00:09:22.649 --> 00:09:25.490
already accomplished it. So back to your question.

00:09:25.549 --> 00:09:28.190
I just like to be in action. Anything I can do,

00:09:28.269 --> 00:09:31.450
any little step I can take gets me closer and

00:09:31.450 --> 00:09:35.210
closer to my goal every day. I agree with that.

00:09:35.350 --> 00:09:40.950
And I'm actually trying to build some new habits

00:09:40.950 --> 00:09:47.840
into 2024. going to bed at the same time and

00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:51.840
waking up at the same time. And I think because

00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:57.639
like last year I was waking up at 7 o 'clock

00:09:57.639 --> 00:10:03.340
in the morning on Sundays and waking up like

00:10:03.340 --> 00:10:06.960
7 .30 in the morning Monday through Friday, Monday

00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:10.679
through Saturday. But one of the things that's

00:10:10.679 --> 00:10:13.879
kind of been bothering me a little bit was that

00:10:14.700 --> 00:10:17.139
that seven o 'clock in the morning on sundays

00:10:17.139 --> 00:10:20.419
because it's still dark out on the east coast

00:10:20.419 --> 00:10:24.259
and so i'm like okay this has been a little bit

00:10:24.259 --> 00:10:28.960
brutal on me and it's like it just because since

00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:31.000
i was changing my sleep schedule a little bit

00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:33.419
because i feel like that extra 30 minutes kind

00:10:33.419 --> 00:10:36.860
of helped me uh and you're probably like how

00:10:36.860 --> 00:10:39.580
does that extra 30 minutes really matter is that

00:10:39.580 --> 00:10:44.840
because like Forget everything that you know

00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:47.759
about a web browser because you will be blown

00:10:47.759 --> 00:10:54.419
away by psychic browser. It's no ordinary web

00:10:54.419 --> 00:10:58.580
browser like Firefox, Google Chrome, Microsoft

00:10:58.580 --> 00:11:01.700
Edge, and all the other web browsers out there.

00:11:01.940 --> 00:11:07.460
It's based on productivity. And let me just name

00:11:07.460 --> 00:11:10.460
a few other functionalities that it has. It's

00:11:10.460 --> 00:11:16.840
very fast. It blocks ads by default. You don't

00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:20.500
see that with Google Chrome, do you? Nope. And

00:11:20.500 --> 00:11:25.580
there's also a built -in sidebar so you can have

00:11:25.580 --> 00:11:31.299
all your tools and systems all in one place without

00:11:31.299 --> 00:11:36.419
having to go search and wait for the web page

00:11:36.419 --> 00:11:39.059
to load. It's just right there with a click of

00:11:39.059 --> 00:11:43.049
a button. Try Sidekick. out below with the link

00:11:50.610 --> 00:11:55.169

slash contest. When you wake up to still see

00:12:37.470 --> 00:12:41.149
it's dark outside, I'm asking Google, are you

00:12:41.149 --> 00:12:44.730
sure you got me in the right time zone? This

00:12:44.730 --> 00:12:49.429
is a little too dark for me. Is it 5 o 'clock

00:12:49.429 --> 00:12:53.009
or is it 7 o 'clock? I'm confused. No, no, I

00:12:53.009 --> 00:12:55.269
totally get it because I'm on the West Coast.

00:12:56.090 --> 00:12:58.970
And for myself, knowing that we're kind of in

00:12:58.970 --> 00:13:00.990
our winter, even though it's a little bit warmer

00:13:00.990 --> 00:13:03.610
than what you have on the East Coast, it's a

00:13:03.610 --> 00:13:07.460
little... Yeah, it just seems like once the seasons

00:13:07.460 --> 00:13:10.759
change, for some reason, I've been struggling

00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:14.379
getting up early too. And I can relate with you

00:13:14.379 --> 00:13:17.840
100%. It's dark out. I'm in my bed, nice and

00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:20.360
warm and cozy. You know, why would I want to

00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:23.460
leave? All right. But I know what my purpose

00:13:23.460 --> 00:13:26.220
is and I know where I want to go. And that pushes

00:13:26.220 --> 00:13:30.100
me to get out of bed, to go to the gym, even

00:13:30.100 --> 00:13:33.649
when it's cold outside. to get in my workout

00:13:33.649 --> 00:13:39.629
for the day. Because I know if I don't, I don't

00:13:39.629 --> 00:13:44.070
feel good about myself. I don't feel complete.

00:13:44.110 --> 00:13:48.090
I don't feel as if I'm aligned with my values,

00:13:48.309 --> 00:13:52.370
with my beliefs, and even where I want to go

00:13:52.370 --> 00:13:58.409
with my purpose. So when you're stuck like that,

00:13:58.570 --> 00:14:02.279
when you're stuck like that, You just have to

00:14:02.279 --> 00:14:05.960
remind yourself why you're getting up and how

00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:08.000
important it is for you to get up to start that

00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:10.519
day because you have big dreams and big goals

00:14:10.519 --> 00:14:13.100
that you want to accomplish. And that's how I

00:14:13.100 --> 00:14:17.440
teach myself. And, like, I'm also, like, for

00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:21.200
me, I'm also learning. I'm going to reach my

00:14:21.200 --> 00:14:25.340
reading goal this year. For last year, I was.

00:14:26.410 --> 00:14:29.529
five books shy of my goal just because i got

00:14:29.529 --> 00:14:33.549
caught up in a lot of tests that i forgot about

00:14:33.549 --> 00:14:37.230
that i started and stopped i wouldn't say a lot

00:14:37.230 --> 00:14:41.570
it was like just a few like maybe three or four

00:14:41.570 --> 00:14:46.070
big tests and i got like a over 100 plus tests

00:14:46.070 --> 00:14:51.730
done last year and but it was just a few that

00:14:51.730 --> 00:14:54.419
just kind of like left my mind. And then when

00:14:54.419 --> 00:14:57.460
I came across them again, I was like, I forgot

00:14:57.460 --> 00:15:01.500
about this one. I was like, this thing just went

00:15:01.500 --> 00:15:04.320
sideways. Like, I guess because I wasn't using

00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:07.159
this tool for a while. I forget what tool it

00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:11.159
was, but it was like, oh, well, it wasn't really

00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:13.700
that important, but maybe I should have updated

00:15:13.700 --> 00:15:20.980
just because. And then my couple other goals.

00:15:22.059 --> 00:15:28.940
It's not all about goals and whatnot. I'm learning

00:15:28.940 --> 00:15:34.519
to... I'm putting more money... trying to save

00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:38.779
more money this year. Because last year, let's

00:15:38.779 --> 00:15:41.919
just say it was a few extra expenses that I wasn't

00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:46.799
really expecting, but some companies gave me

00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:53.320
some amazing savings on some... So I kind of

00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:56.080
locked myself into my website hosting provider

00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:59.139
because they gave me such a great deal. And I

00:15:59.139 --> 00:16:02.259
was like, oh, well, I'm not going to leave anymore.

00:16:02.500 --> 00:16:05.100
So I was like, well, I could always leave. And

00:16:05.100 --> 00:16:08.720
it's like, no, I'm done. I was like, I'm not

00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:10.279
leaving. I was like, I jumped three different

00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:12.940
platforms. I'm done. There you go. There you

00:16:12.940 --> 00:16:15.139
go. So, Jimmy, what are your goals for this year?

00:16:18.649 --> 00:16:27.269
My personal goals, I'm going to learn to have

00:16:27.269 --> 00:16:33.850
a consistent sleep schedule, working out and

00:16:33.850 --> 00:16:38.710
stretching more on getting my yoga in on Saturday

00:16:38.710 --> 00:16:43.710
mornings because I'm not a person who really

00:16:43.710 --> 00:16:46.879
likes to... do yoga on sunday just because i

00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:49.460
go to church in the morning either online or

00:16:49.460 --> 00:16:52.700
in person depending on the weather because like

00:16:52.700 --> 00:16:55.539
sometimes when it's like really when it snows

00:16:55.539 --> 00:16:57.720
outside i was like it's really really cold and

00:16:57.720 --> 00:17:01.179
it's like okay it might be very icy don't really

00:17:01.179 --> 00:17:03.399
want to go out and it's like well i can live

00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:07.079
stream it on youtube so i was like why not i

00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:12.480
was like well and then i'm also hoping to I'm

00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:15.619
planning on to take more breaks throughout my

00:17:15.619 --> 00:17:20.339
workday, just so I'm not... About a 15 -minute

00:17:20.339 --> 00:17:25.579
break so I can read some fun stuff, or self -help

00:17:25.579 --> 00:17:30.700
books or fiction books, just so I don't get all

00:17:30.700 --> 00:17:33.819
stressed out. All I do is, when I get up in the

00:17:33.819 --> 00:17:37.849
morning, I go from... whatever time i start to

00:17:37.849 --> 00:17:40.609
whenever i stop and then go to karate and say

00:17:40.609 --> 00:17:46.029
i feel like a giant robot yeah yeah well those

00:17:46.029 --> 00:17:48.250
are those are fantastic goals and how do you

00:17:48.250 --> 00:17:51.529
feel you feel you're on track to stay focused

00:17:51.529 --> 00:17:55.869
on them and get them completed here yeah i think

00:17:55.869 --> 00:17:59.829
i think i feel like my i'm still working to get

00:17:59.829 --> 00:18:03.589
my breaks consistently i i i've done like maybe

00:18:04.250 --> 00:18:07.789
one or two here and there but then i was like

00:18:07.789 --> 00:18:10.130
okay i really could get back on track on this

00:18:10.130 --> 00:18:12.549
and it's like but then sometimes like i'm not

00:18:12.549 --> 00:18:14.849
continuing because something else came up and

00:18:14.849 --> 00:18:19.309
then i'm like oh this is gonna be a longer thing

00:18:19.309 --> 00:18:21.910
and then i really wanted to be like if i was

00:18:21.910 --> 00:18:24.329
talking on the phone with the company because

00:18:24.329 --> 00:18:27.150
of i don't know something happened and then i

00:18:27.150 --> 00:18:31.240
was And then I'm trying to figure, and I'm on

00:18:31.240 --> 00:18:33.319
hold with them. It's like, I can't take a break,

00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:40.099
can I? Just because my brain can't transition.

00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:42.539
Like, if I'm reading something, I'm waiting on

00:18:42.539 --> 00:18:45.000
hold for somebody. It's like, my brain can't

00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:47.460
transition quickly from the book to somebody

00:18:47.460 --> 00:18:50.359
else telling me. It's like, hi, I'm working at

00:18:50.359 --> 00:18:52.380
the customer service. How can I help you? I'm

00:18:52.380 --> 00:18:55.960
like, where's my transition break? I can't get

00:18:55.960 --> 00:18:59.549
this. I get it. I need that transition break

00:18:59.549 --> 00:19:01.609
as well sometimes when I'm going from one thing

00:19:01.609 --> 00:19:05.470
to the next. Even though people always tell you

00:19:05.470 --> 00:19:08.869
to multitask, you really can't multitask. Our

00:19:08.869 --> 00:19:11.809
brain does have to focus on one thing at a time.

00:19:12.130 --> 00:19:15.309
We are breaking from one item to the next item

00:19:15.309 --> 00:19:20.710
to focus on it. It's very hard for us to do things

00:19:20.710 --> 00:19:25.210
simultaneously. The only time I can literally

00:19:25.829 --> 00:19:29.230
do something uh at the same time is like listen

00:19:29.230 --> 00:19:34.569
to a podcast that i'm youtube on my tv but that's

00:19:34.569 --> 00:19:37.670
it and it's like it's either music or podcast

00:19:37.670 --> 00:19:44.309
okay there's only an occasion um if i'm doing

00:19:44.309 --> 00:19:47.549
some work very small light work in the morning

00:19:47.549 --> 00:19:51.210
i can watch a show on netflix but it has to be

00:19:51.210 --> 00:19:54.390
something very i don't think dull and boring

00:19:54.390 --> 00:20:01.490
but Very mindless. It can't be something I would

00:20:01.490 --> 00:20:05.750
think of because I was telling some of my friends

00:20:05.750 --> 00:20:10.269
today, I'm setting up an auto -poster to some

00:20:10.269 --> 00:20:13.269
of my social media networks, and I had to tailor

00:20:13.269 --> 00:20:15.769
it to a certain way so that it doesn't get hit

00:20:15.769 --> 00:20:20.220
by the spam filters and whatnot. And I was already

00:20:20.220 --> 00:20:22.480
screwing up on it. I wouldn't say screwing up,

00:20:22.539 --> 00:20:25.059
but I was already messing up because, like, okay,

00:20:25.099 --> 00:20:29.079
I can start putting on my own profiles now. I

00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:31.259
was like, oh, no, I forgot tumor for crazy fitness

00:20:31.259 --> 00:20:34.720
guy. I was like, see, this is why I had to pay

00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:38.079
attention. I wasn't watching anything, but my

00:20:38.079 --> 00:20:41.980
brain just wandering. It's like, sure. Yeah,

00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:45.039
and that happens. Our brain just kind of wanders

00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:48.250
away on things, especially. for not paying attention

00:20:48.250 --> 00:20:52.089
or really focused. It kind of has this mind of

00:20:52.089 --> 00:20:56.109
its own, practically. Yeah. It's like, come on,

00:20:56.130 --> 00:20:58.390
brain, dial it back in. And my brain's like,

00:20:58.569 --> 00:21:00.450
you can't tell me what to do. It's like, sure

00:21:00.450 --> 00:21:09.069
I can. Get the hell away. Shape up, brain. So

00:21:09.069 --> 00:21:13.089
my question for you is, why do you think people

00:21:13.089 --> 00:21:16.000
get... Why do you think people get off track

00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:20.180
from their goals and go on those hamster wheels

00:21:20.180 --> 00:21:24.339
or if they hit a plateau, then they're just like,

00:21:24.539 --> 00:21:31.819
I'm done? No, that's a great question. People

00:21:31.819 --> 00:21:34.240
always have, they start off with good intention,

00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:38.140
with wanting it. But the thing is that they don't

00:21:38.140 --> 00:21:41.279
want it bad enough. If you want something bad

00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:46.599
enough, you'll get it done. And a lot of people

00:21:46.599 --> 00:21:49.140
just kind of die out and they plateau because

00:21:49.140 --> 00:21:53.640
they don't have that accountability. They don't

00:21:53.640 --> 00:21:55.660
have a coach. They don't have a friend supporting

00:21:55.660 --> 00:21:59.759
them and working out with them or touching base

00:21:59.759 --> 00:22:02.980
with them to see if they are holding themselves

00:22:02.980 --> 00:22:07.440
accountable. And it's easy to not hold yourself

00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:09.640
accountable if nobody's there to hold you accountable.

00:22:10.299 --> 00:22:13.779
And people just kind of, fizzle out on their

00:22:13.779 --> 00:22:17.000
news resolutions or fizzle out on their goals

00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:20.380
because they get stuck with a barrier of some

00:22:20.380 --> 00:22:24.059
sort, a challenge. They don't know how to overcome

00:22:24.059 --> 00:22:27.619
that challenge. And instead of trying to figure

00:22:27.619 --> 00:22:30.240
out or ask questions or get the help that they

00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:34.220
need, they just hit that wall and stop. And they

00:22:34.220 --> 00:22:39.259
just get stuck there. And sometimes growth and

00:22:39.259 --> 00:22:43.240
growing is scary. And it's easy to stay in our

00:22:43.240 --> 00:22:47.000
comfort zone. And a lot of people don't want

00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:49.740
to push themselves to grow. It's easier to stay

00:22:49.740 --> 00:22:54.579
comfortable and stay the pleasure than push yourself

00:22:54.579 --> 00:22:58.579
into that zone of unknown, that zone of fear

00:22:58.579 --> 00:23:02.380
of what would happen if I did accomplish this.

00:23:02.599 --> 00:23:04.900
And that's scary. Success is scary to people.

00:23:05.279 --> 00:23:09.200
So is failure to people. And they just sometimes

00:23:09.200 --> 00:23:13.059
just... Certain individuals just stop there and

00:23:13.059 --> 00:23:16.240
they just settle and they're fine with that.

00:23:16.980 --> 00:23:20.119
And you can be okay with that. I mean, nothing

00:23:20.119 --> 00:23:23.680
in your life is going to change because you've

00:23:23.680 --> 00:23:25.759
been dealing with it for that long and you're

00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:29.079
already okay with that. But if you want to make

00:23:29.079 --> 00:23:31.759
that change, if you want to reach your goals,

00:23:31.839 --> 00:23:35.539
if you want to push yourself beyond that wall,

00:23:35.839 --> 00:23:39.720
then you need to become more resourceful. You

00:23:39.720 --> 00:23:41.640
need to reach out for help. You need to get a

00:23:41.640 --> 00:23:45.240
coach of some sort to hold you accountable. Or

00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:46.960
a really good friend that's going to tell you

00:23:46.960 --> 00:23:50.859
how it is. Hey, Jimmy, you said you were going

00:23:50.859 --> 00:23:54.180
to accomplish this this week. What happened?

00:23:55.279 --> 00:24:00.259
Why didn't you do it? You know, as your friend,

00:24:00.299 --> 00:24:03.200
I would say that to you. And then I would hear

00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:06.609
the story you would tell me. But you just didn't

00:24:06.609 --> 00:24:08.910
prioritize it. You just didn't make it to be

00:24:08.910 --> 00:24:13.190
important. And things that we make important

00:24:13.190 --> 00:24:19.349
in our lives, we get done. So that's where I

00:24:19.349 --> 00:24:21.910
feel, in my opinion, is where people get stuck.

00:24:22.269 --> 00:24:24.329
And to get off that hamster wheel, you just got

00:24:24.329 --> 00:24:27.529
to push through it. And you just got to keep

00:24:27.529 --> 00:24:29.430
showing up. There's some days that I don't want

00:24:29.430 --> 00:24:32.289
to show up at the gym at all. I'd rather just

00:24:32.289 --> 00:24:34.960
stay in bed like we just discussed. But I go.

00:24:35.420 --> 00:24:42.140
And even though I may not be 100 % in it mentally,

00:24:42.380 --> 00:24:46.319
at least I'm there. And I know if I'm there and

00:24:46.319 --> 00:24:49.980
I walk through the doors of the gym, I'll do

00:24:49.980 --> 00:24:52.779
something. It may not be the greatest workout,

00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:55.119
but at least I'm there. At least I showed up.

00:24:55.160 --> 00:24:59.240
At least I'm in the game. And if it's not the

00:24:59.240 --> 00:25:01.079
greatest of workouts, that's okay. I have other

00:25:01.079 --> 00:25:04.670
days to have amazing workouts. But this one is

00:25:04.670 --> 00:25:07.849
just going to be me maybe spending 30 minutes

00:25:07.849 --> 00:25:12.170
on the treadmill. You know, maybe just me doing

00:25:12.170 --> 00:25:15.769
a lighter workout and not a heavy workout. Maybe

00:25:15.769 --> 00:25:18.549
just maybe doing stretching of some sort. I don't

00:25:18.549 --> 00:25:20.450
know, but at least I'm there. At least I showed

00:25:20.450 --> 00:25:23.670
up. And a lot of people just don't show up. They

00:25:23.670 --> 00:25:26.170
just go, nope, I'm good. I'm staying in bed.

00:25:26.390 --> 00:25:28.269
Keep hitting the snooze button, snooze button.

00:25:28.410 --> 00:25:30.309
And then they wonder why their life hasn't changed.

00:25:31.420 --> 00:25:35.200
But they made that choice. They're making that

00:25:35.200 --> 00:25:37.099
choice. Every time I hit the snooze button to

00:25:37.099 --> 00:25:41.740
not get out of bed is a choice that I'm okay

00:25:41.740 --> 00:25:44.859
where I'm at and I don't need to change and this

00:25:44.859 --> 00:25:53.500
is where I want to stay. One of the tricks that

00:25:53.500 --> 00:25:58.519
I make sure that I can't hit the snooze button,

00:25:58.720 --> 00:26:02.519
I put my eyes in. I use the alarm on my phone

00:26:02.519 --> 00:26:06.140
because it connects to Spotify, so I don't have

00:26:06.140 --> 00:26:09.619
to hear beep, beep, beep, beep, because that's

00:26:09.619 --> 00:26:13.039
just annoying as heck. And, I mean, honestly,

00:26:13.279 --> 00:26:16.240
maybe if you can see, I have an alarm clock on

00:26:16.240 --> 00:26:19.440
my... Hydro Flask is the best water bottle, in

00:26:19.440 --> 00:26:23.220
my opinion, because it keeps my water nice, cold,

00:26:23.380 --> 00:26:26.059
and refreshing throughout the day. And, yes,

00:26:26.059 --> 00:26:27.839
I do drink a lot of water throughout the day,

00:26:27.980 --> 00:26:31.230
so even though it stays long... colder for longer,

00:26:31.390 --> 00:26:37.549
I still like having a reusable water bottle like

00:26:37.549 --> 00:26:42.490
Hydroflex because it just sits on my desk and

00:26:42.490 --> 00:26:46.849
it just sits on my desk and reminds me, hey,

00:26:46.990 --> 00:26:51.529
you got to drink water. And Hydroflex, it keeps

00:26:51.529 --> 00:26:54.910
it cold longer, which makes me want to drink

00:26:54.910 --> 00:26:57.410
more water throughout the day because, you know.

00:26:58.180 --> 00:27:00.740
There's nothing worse than drinking warm water.

00:27:01.519 --> 00:27:06.380
Go to Hydroflask .com and use the link in the

00:27:06.380 --> 00:27:09.819
show notes. And yes, I do get a small commission

00:27:09.819 --> 00:27:15.380
from Hydroflask, which also helps support the

00:27:15.380 --> 00:27:18.680
show. So tell them I sent you. Use the link below.

00:27:19.039 --> 00:27:23.519
And yeah, check out Hydroflask .com for more

00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:26.460
information. But I don't use it because that

00:27:26.460 --> 00:27:28.799
one's the one that beep, beep, beeps and everything.

00:27:29.500 --> 00:27:32.900
So what I do, I set the alarm on my phone. I

00:27:32.900 --> 00:27:36.200
put my phone on my desk so when I get up, I have

00:27:36.200 --> 00:27:41.759
to literally get up and click stop. And so after

00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:45.079
I hear the music, it's like, okay, I'm up. I

00:27:45.079 --> 00:27:48.259
was like, beep, beep, beep, beep. Yeah. Get this

00:27:48.259 --> 00:27:52.380
thing out of the freaking wall. That's a great

00:27:52.380 --> 00:27:56.680
technique. And I'm glad that you brought that

00:27:56.680 --> 00:27:59.799
up. That is a wonderful thing to do. Move your

00:27:59.799 --> 00:28:03.500
alarm clock across the room. Don't put it by

00:28:03.500 --> 00:28:06.220
your bedside. Don't put your phone by your bedside.

00:28:06.920 --> 00:28:09.819
Charge it across the room so that you literally

00:28:09.819 --> 00:28:14.359
have to get up out of bed. to go and turn off

00:28:14.359 --> 00:28:18.700
that alarm clock because now you're up now you

00:28:18.700 --> 00:28:22.440
can start your day and start moving and waking

00:28:22.440 --> 00:28:25.700
the body up so that you can continue moving forward

00:28:25.700 --> 00:28:31.259
yeah and if that doesn't work i have headphones

00:28:31.259 --> 00:28:36.509
in my on my bottom nightstand of my near my bed,

00:28:36.750 --> 00:28:41.130
and basically what I do is when I make my bed,

00:28:41.390 --> 00:28:47.670
in case my dad's not up yet, I put my headphones

00:28:47.670 --> 00:28:50.589
on just to listen to music so I don't wake up

00:28:50.589 --> 00:28:56.829
anybody else in the house. And I'm still with

00:28:56.829 --> 00:29:00.009
my parents at the moment due to my college right

00:29:00.009 --> 00:29:04.490
around the corner. I'm still planning to move

00:29:04.490 --> 00:29:08.950
out. If they're not throwing you out, don't rush.

00:29:09.250 --> 00:29:11.829
You're doing a great job already. Being in college,

00:29:12.029 --> 00:29:16.630
starting a podcast show, giving weekly motivation,

00:29:17.109 --> 00:29:20.230
starting a crazy fitness guide business that

00:29:20.230 --> 00:29:25.250
you have, being an advocate for autism. You're

00:29:25.250 --> 00:29:30.150
an amazing individual. Thank you. just keep working

00:29:30.150 --> 00:29:32.130
on your pathway don't worry about those other

00:29:32.130 --> 00:29:35.130
things just yet focus on your schooling focus

00:29:35.130 --> 00:29:38.269
on building your business and just just keep

00:29:38.269 --> 00:29:41.930
doing what you're doing my friends you know i

00:29:41.930 --> 00:29:46.849
i also want to bring attention that my uh so

00:29:46.849 --> 00:29:53.869
you know when people get uh like i know for myself

00:29:53.869 --> 00:29:58.960
when i uh get off track from like my let's say,

00:29:59.000 --> 00:30:02.039
losing motivation, I also have a vision board.

00:30:02.720 --> 00:30:08.400
And I started updating it here and there. Maybe

00:30:08.400 --> 00:30:12.500
not every single day, probably not every single

00:30:12.500 --> 00:30:17.000
week, but I did some here and there. And I was

00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:21.359
like, what I've done, you might have maybe heard

00:30:21.359 --> 00:30:25.079
of the tool called Notion. I made a vision board

00:30:25.079 --> 00:30:29.470
in it because I have a shortcut on my phone,

00:30:29.589 --> 00:30:32.029
so every time when I need some motivation, I

00:30:32.029 --> 00:30:36.289
just tap my phone screen and it pops up. And

00:30:36.289 --> 00:30:41.710
same thing on my computer when I open Notion

00:30:41.710 --> 00:30:45.460
up because I put all my... templates for my live

00:30:45.460 --> 00:30:48.660
stream on there just so I don't have to redo

00:30:48.660 --> 00:30:51.279
the whole thing over and over and over again.

00:30:52.160 --> 00:30:55.339
I sound very, very lazy, but when you can, you

00:30:55.339 --> 00:30:57.579
might as well save some time as an entrepreneur.

00:30:58.299 --> 00:31:01.440
I agree. If you can find some ways to save time,

00:31:01.599 --> 00:31:03.140
there's nothing lazy about that. You're just

00:31:03.140 --> 00:31:09.880
being efficient. Exactly. And what else I do

00:31:09.880 --> 00:31:13.339
when I open it on Notion, it's like the very

00:31:13.339 --> 00:31:16.140
first page that I see is my vision board. So

00:31:16.140 --> 00:31:18.700
I was like, I purposely did this. And it's like,

00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:23.579
I know at least once or twice, I think at least

00:31:23.579 --> 00:31:26.960
maybe like five or six times a week, I'm in Notion,

00:31:27.079 --> 00:31:31.039
literally. Really, that helps you stay focused

00:31:31.039 --> 00:31:35.150
and motivated. That is great. Do that. Having

00:31:35.150 --> 00:31:39.029
a vision board is powerful for people to have

00:31:39.029 --> 00:31:41.750
so you can have an idea of where you want to

00:31:41.750 --> 00:31:44.170
go and the things that you're looking to acquire

00:31:44.170 --> 00:31:47.990
or to accomplish. And it gives you that motivation,

00:31:48.130 --> 00:31:52.349
which is great. Other things that people can

00:31:52.349 --> 00:31:57.269
do to stay focused is to visualize their success,

00:31:57.630 --> 00:32:02.000
meditate. on what their goals and vision is,

00:32:02.059 --> 00:32:05.420
is a great way. Journaling is a powerful tool

00:32:05.420 --> 00:32:09.259
to see how you're progressing and maybe what

00:32:09.259 --> 00:32:11.740
thoughts are coming up and reflecting on that

00:32:11.740 --> 00:32:16.240
as well to help you stay focused on your goals

00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:18.839
and where you want to go and writing down your

00:32:18.839 --> 00:32:22.099
wins. And of course, celebrating all the little

00:32:22.099 --> 00:32:24.759
victories that you have. You don't need to have

00:32:24.759 --> 00:32:29.130
a big victory. To say, I've accomplished something.

00:32:29.910 --> 00:32:33.309
Every little step along the way is a celebration.

00:32:33.809 --> 00:32:37.009
Me just coming on to your podcast is a celebration

00:32:37.009 --> 00:32:39.890
for me. You know, I got honored to be here today.

00:32:40.210 --> 00:32:42.269
And I take a look at that as an accomplishment.

00:32:43.650 --> 00:32:47.009
So you have to reward yourself in order to stay

00:32:47.009 --> 00:32:49.890
focused and motivated for your goals. No matter

00:32:49.890 --> 00:32:52.150
how big or small. They don't have to be expensive.

00:32:53.420 --> 00:32:56.039
You know, maybe just you taking a walk in the

00:32:56.039 --> 00:32:59.079
park or spending time reading a chapter in your

00:32:59.079 --> 00:33:02.339
book or, you know, getting on a phone call with

00:33:02.339 --> 00:33:03.980
a friend that you haven't spoken to in a long

00:33:03.980 --> 00:33:06.000
time. You're just reconnecting. All those can

00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:10.400
be rewards for you to stay focused on what you

00:33:10.400 --> 00:33:15.900
want to do. I agree. Especially, you know, there's

00:33:15.900 --> 00:33:22.099
this company called FitOn for fitness. It's a

00:33:22.099 --> 00:33:26.559
free fitness platform. I've been using it. I

00:33:26.559 --> 00:33:29.859
use it six days a week, sometimes seven, just

00:33:29.859 --> 00:33:32.920
to keep my body stretched. I mean, there's more

00:33:32.920 --> 00:33:34.680
than stretching on there. There's weightlifting,

00:33:35.059 --> 00:33:40.240
kickboxing. I had a very annoying headache the

00:33:40.240 --> 00:33:45.480
other day. And even though I do karate three

00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:49.559
times a week, But I was like, you know, I just

00:33:49.559 --> 00:33:51.940
need to just, even if I'm not punching anything,

00:33:52.160 --> 00:33:54.319
I just need to punch air at the moment. I'm like,

00:33:54.339 --> 00:33:58.500
I'm very frustrated. And I forget what I was

00:33:58.500 --> 00:34:00.700
frustrated about, but my headache was just like,

00:34:00.819 --> 00:34:03.720
I need something to get this rid of this thing.

00:34:04.140 --> 00:34:07.859
And so I just, I mean, I wasn't like going heavy

00:34:07.859 --> 00:34:09.719
at the air because I know I'm just punching air

00:34:09.719 --> 00:34:13.000
and I don't want to hyperact my muscles or anything.

00:34:13.340 --> 00:34:16.539
But so I'm just like punching, punching. And

00:34:16.539 --> 00:34:19.019
at the end of it, it's like, oh, my headache

00:34:19.019 --> 00:34:20.880
finally went away. And it's like, that's just

00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:23.579
annoying. It was like just slobbing for like

00:34:23.579 --> 00:34:27.639
three days straight. It's like eight hours statistics

00:34:27.639 --> 00:34:29.539
homework. It's like, this is getting annoying.

00:34:31.039 --> 00:34:37.699
This is math class. Yeah, all that thinking was

00:34:37.699 --> 00:34:42.050
probably giving you a headache. Yeah, it's funny.

00:34:42.369 --> 00:34:46.409
My friend is actually tutoring me online, and

00:34:46.409 --> 00:34:52.570
if any company that I've been using for marketing,

00:34:52.730 --> 00:34:56.389
et cetera, gave me a graph that I couldn't read

00:34:56.389 --> 00:35:01.170
because they're just doing it just for the heck

00:35:01.170 --> 00:35:03.550
of it because of statistics or anything, I was

00:35:03.550 --> 00:35:06.190
like, I would fire it. I would just throw them

00:35:06.190 --> 00:35:08.369
out and never use it until again because, like,

00:35:09.099 --> 00:35:11.699
what kind of chart is this? And it's like, I

00:35:11.699 --> 00:35:15.920
had to do basically one of the things I was looking

00:35:15.920 --> 00:35:19.500
at when I was getting confused that picture this

00:35:19.500 --> 00:35:23.519
is a, is a rectangle on a number line, so to

00:35:23.519 --> 00:35:27.280
speak. And apparently each end of the rectangle

00:35:27.280 --> 00:35:32.239
was part of the problem. And it's like, can they

00:35:32.239 --> 00:35:35.699
make it less obvious? I was like, because it

00:35:35.699 --> 00:35:39.079
just blended in with everything. Can't they put

00:35:39.079 --> 00:35:41.480
a dot, say, hey, this is what I'm looking for?

00:35:41.920 --> 00:35:45.840
If somebody gave this to me in an analytics point

00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:48.980
of view for my data, if Google Analytics changed

00:35:48.980 --> 00:35:52.940
into that, I was like, I'm done. If I can read

00:35:52.940 --> 00:35:56.599
something that obvious, whoever creates statistics

00:35:56.599 --> 00:36:04.199
is a total idiot. No offense to anybody who loves

00:36:04.199 --> 00:36:10.739
math and whatnot, but I hate math. No, I'm not

00:36:10.739 --> 00:36:13.320
a big fan of math either. So I'm right there

00:36:13.320 --> 00:36:16.559
with you, my friend. Okay, good. Because I'm

00:36:16.559 --> 00:36:19.099
like, my friend loves math. And he's like, isn't

00:36:19.099 --> 00:36:23.639
math the best? He's like... I am what you call

00:36:23.639 --> 00:36:27.119
an indie podcaster. If I run out of money, there's

looking forward to continue making content just

00:39:03.820 --> 00:39:08.760
for you. Podcast subscriber, click the links

00:39:08.760 --> 00:39:12.440
in the show notes and see which plan is right

00:39:12.440 --> 00:39:15.980
for you. Yeah, yeah, because you already know

00:39:15.980 --> 00:39:20.900
how to do it. That's right, that's right. So

00:39:20.900 --> 00:39:26.940
what do you do when you see yourself slipping

00:39:26.940 --> 00:39:29.820
away from your goals a little bit? Like, okay,

00:39:29.840 --> 00:39:32.320
maybe not like totally slipping, but like, oh,

00:39:32.340 --> 00:39:34.239
I'm getting off track a little bit. How do I

00:39:34.239 --> 00:39:38.559
recover, so to speak? No, that's great, that's

00:39:38.559 --> 00:39:41.179
great. I like to do a little self -reflection.

00:39:42.779 --> 00:39:45.559
And if I see that I'm slipping, I start to ask

00:39:45.559 --> 00:39:51.960
myself, I'm trying to make sure I have the wording

00:39:51.960 --> 00:39:55.420
right from how would I normally do. I usually

00:39:55.420 --> 00:39:57.900
ask myself, one, what's going on? Why do you

00:39:57.900 --> 00:40:00.500
feel that you're not, why do you feel that this,

00:40:00.619 --> 00:40:05.300
I'm sorry, I'm going to get a couple things in

00:40:05.300 --> 00:40:08.619
my head for this one. Because I want to give

00:40:08.619 --> 00:40:15.030
some good tools here for this. When I'm slipping

00:40:15.030 --> 00:40:18.429
away from my goals, it's usually because I'm

00:40:18.429 --> 00:40:23.030
overwhelmed in my life or I don't feel like I

00:40:23.030 --> 00:40:27.050
have the resources to move forward. So I ask

00:40:27.050 --> 00:40:29.489
myself, what resources do you need to accomplish

00:40:29.489 --> 00:40:34.510
this goal? Why do you feel that you are unable

00:40:34.510 --> 00:40:39.789
to move forward? Is this something from your

00:40:39.789 --> 00:40:44.119
past that's holding you back? Because sometimes

00:40:44.119 --> 00:40:50.480
our childhood trauma or maybe somebody said to

00:40:50.480 --> 00:40:53.860
us that we're not good enough. Maybe fear's coming

00:40:53.860 --> 00:40:57.739
up. That maybe we tried this once before and

00:40:57.739 --> 00:41:02.219
it didn't work. So I like to go through some

00:41:02.219 --> 00:41:05.739
reflective questioning to ask myself once I get

00:41:05.739 --> 00:41:08.880
there. So I pause and I ask these questions.

00:41:09.630 --> 00:41:12.769
And I take some time to meditate and self -reflect

00:41:12.769 --> 00:41:15.809
and journal about it. So I can come out and figure

00:41:15.809 --> 00:41:18.090
out what the root cause is so I can attack that

00:41:18.090 --> 00:41:21.630
and figure out what I need to do to resolve that

00:41:21.630 --> 00:41:25.409
piece so then I can continue moving forward so

00:41:25.409 --> 00:41:30.269
it no longer hinders my progress. So that's what

00:41:30.269 --> 00:41:35.090
I do. I kind of... When you were saying that,

00:41:35.170 --> 00:41:44.769
I started to... I had a similar kind of, I wouldn't

00:41:44.769 --> 00:41:47.130
say issue, but I was having this same reflection

00:41:47.130 --> 00:41:53.329
the other day, and I was reverting back to some

00:41:53.329 --> 00:41:57.269
old, annoying, bad habits. No drugs, no alcohol,

00:41:57.469 --> 00:42:03.250
nothing like that. It was more basically mentally,

00:42:03.610 --> 00:42:09.090
and I think that's maybe... where the headache

00:42:09.090 --> 00:42:13.670
started from. And my thoughts just been going

00:42:13.670 --> 00:42:18.170
boom, boom, boom, boom. And I'm like, okay, this

00:42:18.170 --> 00:42:21.269
is getting annoying. Why is this doing this?

00:42:21.610 --> 00:42:28.250
And so I was reflecting and I said, okay, it's

00:42:28.250 --> 00:42:32.010
probably because of, well, I mean, I'll give

00:42:32.010 --> 00:42:36.710
you two reasons. One reason I was I'm working

00:42:36.710 --> 00:42:42.690
with a colleague of mine, and I can't give away

00:42:42.690 --> 00:42:44.269
the whole thing, but let's just say I'm working

00:42:44.269 --> 00:42:47.230
with a colleague of mine because I'm leaving

00:42:47.230 --> 00:42:51.630
a little bit of surprise. And he's helping me

00:42:51.630 --> 00:42:54.550
on this thing, and he made this promise to me.

00:42:54.630 --> 00:42:57.050
He's like, I'll help you as long as you show

00:42:57.050 --> 00:43:01.170
up and bring stuff to the table. And it's like,

00:43:01.230 --> 00:43:04.889
but if you start slacking, we're done. And I

00:43:04.889 --> 00:43:09.920
was like, No pressure. And of course, he started

00:43:09.920 --> 00:43:14.300
helping me sometime a little bit last year into

00:43:14.300 --> 00:43:22.139
this year. And so I was kind of clutched towards

00:43:22.139 --> 00:43:26.920
my deadline meeting with him on Wednesday. And

00:43:26.920 --> 00:43:31.500
I didn't feel like I had enough to bring to the

00:43:31.500 --> 00:43:37.000
table. But when I told him that, hey, I'm still

00:43:37.000 --> 00:43:41.019
looking for these statistics for such and such

00:43:41.019 --> 00:43:47.239
a slide, he didn't say anything bad about it

00:43:47.239 --> 00:43:51.119
because I got the three out of the four slides

00:43:51.119 --> 00:43:54.940
that I needed to complete. And so I kind of felt

00:43:54.940 --> 00:44:01.860
like, okay, I didn't screw this up. I think if

00:44:01.860 --> 00:44:04.139
I did say something, I would tell them, say,

00:44:04.260 --> 00:44:07.579
I'm balancing this eight hours of statistics.

00:44:08.019 --> 00:44:10.579
We're trying to learn all of that. Plus everything

00:44:10.579 --> 00:44:12.940
else I'm doing with my business along with this.

00:44:13.119 --> 00:44:16.099
So it's like, I'm really doing my best here.

00:44:17.300 --> 00:44:19.539
It's like, I'm not playing video games during

00:44:19.539 --> 00:44:23.199
the week. Okay, I'll admit, I play them on the

00:44:23.199 --> 00:44:27.400
weekend, but my head is just like, I need a break

00:44:27.400 --> 00:44:33.239
by the end of the week. I was like, I can't do

00:44:33.239 --> 00:44:38.019
all of that seven days a week because I get to

00:44:38.019 --> 00:44:41.880
move away. So that was one of the reasons. And

00:44:41.880 --> 00:44:45.219
the second reason, I was like, do I have enough

00:44:45.219 --> 00:44:49.619
time to do all of this? And I said to myself,

00:44:49.699 --> 00:44:52.780
yes, you do. And it's like, all you have to do

00:44:52.780 --> 00:44:58.090
is just be on top of my game, publishing. scheduling

00:44:58.090 --> 00:45:00.150
content that I had ahead of time and waiting

00:45:00.150 --> 00:45:04.150
for the week of and I was like now why can't

00:45:04.150 --> 00:45:07.070
I just do that every single time and it's like

00:45:07.070 --> 00:45:10.170
I said to myself well you can if you stop being

00:45:10.170 --> 00:45:16.210
a lazy fart and then I was like okay so you know

00:45:16.210 --> 00:45:20.670
and so and then my last reason why I came up

00:45:20.670 --> 00:45:27.400
with was that I'm I have a virtual speaking engagement

00:45:27.400 --> 00:45:35.619
coming up in February. And I'm looking forward

00:45:35.619 --> 00:45:39.179
to it. And that's another accomplishment for

00:45:39.179 --> 00:45:45.219
me. But I just felt like everybody was asking

00:45:45.219 --> 00:45:50.199
me. for something. Like one company is asking

00:45:50.199 --> 00:45:52.980
me for something from there. And then these guys

00:45:52.980 --> 00:45:55.360
are like, Hey, can you redo the video for us?

00:45:55.420 --> 00:45:58.820
And it's like, I know it wasn't like a long video,

00:45:58.840 --> 00:46:03.280
just like an intro video, but it was like a lighting,

00:46:03.539 --> 00:46:06.820
something like this. And it's like, okay, it's

00:46:06.820 --> 00:46:09.679
not like it was bad lighting. And it's like,

00:46:09.739 --> 00:46:12.360
I consider bad lighting if it was like nighttime

00:46:12.360 --> 00:46:17.489
and I had to, my, my light on behind me and and

00:46:17.489 --> 00:46:20.070
it's like maybe i could use the overhead lights

00:46:20.070 --> 00:46:23.789
but it's like okay it's promotional content don't

00:46:23.789 --> 00:46:26.269
you want it to look like promotional kind of

00:46:26.269 --> 00:46:30.550
content versus oh yes i'm in a well i know i'm

00:46:30.550 --> 00:46:33.070
not in a studio but and it's like but it's like

00:46:33.070 --> 00:46:36.469
do you really want the overhead lights on and

00:46:36.469 --> 00:46:40.329
then like look very professional or do you want

00:46:40.329 --> 00:46:44.309
to say hey look yes i am here in my own house

00:46:44.309 --> 00:46:46.489
and i'm looking forward to this virtual event

00:46:46.489 --> 00:46:51.289
here we come versus hey i'm gonna i'm gonna show

00:46:51.289 --> 00:46:54.409
the real kind of me so i was like i'm just gonna

00:46:54.409 --> 00:46:56.489
give her this and i was like if she doesn't like

00:46:56.489 --> 00:47:00.570
it whatever and and i'm not saying that to be

00:47:00.570 --> 00:47:05.199
rude or anything because like I love what I do,

00:47:05.400 --> 00:47:08.320
but so many people were just asking me everything

00:47:08.320 --> 00:47:11.280
on the day when I was overwhelmed. It's like,

00:47:11.360 --> 00:47:16.320
here's the video. I'm done. I was like, there's

00:47:16.320 --> 00:47:20.460
nothing else I can do anymore. So I was like,

00:47:20.539 --> 00:47:23.420
if she doesn't like it, just tell me don't come.

00:47:24.019 --> 00:47:33.219
So that was kind of my week. ah i'm feeling overwhelmed

00:47:33.219 --> 00:47:39.579
and and my last thing was my uh this person reached

00:47:39.579 --> 00:47:41.659
out to me this company reached out to me it's

00:47:41.659 --> 00:47:44.719
like hey you want to do an interview series written

00:47:44.719 --> 00:47:48.320
interview series and i was like yes sure and

00:47:48.320 --> 00:47:52.710
they were looking from it from it in like a couple

00:47:52.710 --> 00:47:57.610
of like a week or two and i kept i said sorry

00:47:57.610 --> 00:48:01.150
i'm my brain is all over statistics and everything

00:48:01.150 --> 00:48:04.650
and there's like no worries take your time what

00:48:04.650 --> 00:48:07.550
you need i still haven't finished it yet but

00:48:07.550 --> 00:48:10.789
i was like okay today i am sitting down i'm finishing

00:48:10.789 --> 00:48:13.630
this thing and it's like if i had to move my

00:48:13.630 --> 00:48:18.119
podcast editing time to monday fine. And I was

00:48:18.119 --> 00:48:20.179
like, I'm still ahead of the game. And I was

00:48:20.179 --> 00:48:22.719
like, I would push something away versus, um,

00:48:22.800 --> 00:48:25.519
to, uh, not like I'm procrastinating on it or

00:48:25.519 --> 00:48:28.760
anything, but I'd rather just like, okay, you

00:48:28.760 --> 00:48:30.940
know, I want to finish up these few things and

00:48:30.940 --> 00:48:35.019
the podcast editing for February or March, that

00:48:35.019 --> 00:48:37.639
that's ahead of the schedule. And so it's like,

00:48:37.639 --> 00:48:41.059
that's a bonus, but you know, I was like, as

00:48:41.059 --> 00:48:43.760
I ever got the podcast on the schedule for next

00:48:43.760 --> 00:48:46.400
week. So I was like, I still have a week ahead

00:48:46.400 --> 00:48:50.519
of time to get everything done. Perfect. Perfect.

00:48:50.940 --> 00:48:53.659
Yeah. I know that was a little bit wordy, but

00:48:53.659 --> 00:48:56.980
I'm going for it. It's good. It's your show.

00:48:57.019 --> 00:49:00.679
You can do what you want, right? Yeah. I put

00:49:00.679 --> 00:49:04.920
my own rules. That's right. I guess I have to

00:49:04.920 --> 00:49:12.340
fire myself later on. So my last few questions

00:49:12.340 --> 00:49:17.639
for you is, Why do you think people are so hard

00:49:17.639 --> 00:49:19.900
on themselves if they don't reach all their goals

00:49:19.900 --> 00:49:25.980
in, let's say, in a few months? People usually

00:49:25.980 --> 00:49:30.579
feel very shameful. It's shame that comes up

00:49:30.579 --> 00:49:34.099
for people that they feel embarrassed and judge

00:49:34.099 --> 00:49:39.440
themselves harshly. And then the voices in the

00:49:39.440 --> 00:49:42.320
head start coming up, saying, I'm not good enough

00:49:42.320 --> 00:49:45.630
and you're not good enough. Why can't you ever

00:49:45.630 --> 00:49:47.789
follow through on things? All that negative self

00:49:47.789 --> 00:49:52.969
-talk starts to pop up. And some people will

00:49:52.969 --> 00:49:56.269
fight through it and shut it down. And other

00:49:56.269 --> 00:50:00.289
people will just cater to it and be like, hey,

00:50:00.289 --> 00:50:02.590
you're right. I'm not good enough. Why do I even

00:50:02.590 --> 00:50:04.710
want to continue doing this? Why do I want to,

00:50:04.710 --> 00:50:09.869
you know, get that? body or be able to grow my

00:50:09.869 --> 00:50:12.829
business or be able to save or become financially

00:50:12.829 --> 00:50:15.889
free you know i've never done it before nobody

00:50:15.889 --> 00:50:18.949
else my my family has done before so i'm never

00:50:18.949 --> 00:50:20.389
going to be able to get there and they fall into

00:50:20.389 --> 00:50:25.090
that victim mentality and that takes over and

00:50:25.090 --> 00:50:27.190
then they end up not being able to move forward

00:50:27.190 --> 00:50:33.809
i definitely agree on that and and trust me people

00:50:33.809 --> 00:50:38.179
i have Failed many, many times running Crazy

00:50:38.179 --> 00:50:41.280
Fitness Guy. It looks perfect on the front end,

00:50:41.380 --> 00:50:44.880
but on the back end, it's one big spider web

00:50:44.880 --> 00:50:49.179
of what the hell did I put together? You haven't

00:50:49.179 --> 00:50:51.119
failed at anything. It's all learning. There's

00:50:51.119 --> 00:50:54.079
really no failure in life. Everything is a learning

00:50:54.079 --> 00:50:59.960
experience. So you learn by messing a couple

00:50:59.960 --> 00:51:02.800
things up. Now you're more educated and knowledgeable.

00:51:03.639 --> 00:51:06.219
You have better experience with it now. So now

00:51:06.219 --> 00:51:12.119
you know what to do the next time. Now, trouble

00:51:12.119 --> 00:51:15.960
comes when you make the same mistake over and

00:51:15.960 --> 00:51:19.480
over and over again. Then you've got to start

00:51:19.480 --> 00:51:22.260
reevaluating your life and saying, why am I doing

00:51:22.260 --> 00:51:25.340
this over and over and over again? Maybe you

00:51:25.340 --> 00:51:27.679
just need more time to learn from all those experiences

00:51:27.679 --> 00:51:30.000
until you get it right. Maybe you just take some

00:51:30.000 --> 00:51:34.440
people a little bit longer. to get there. But

00:51:34.440 --> 00:51:38.239
I view failure as just learning experiences one

00:51:38.239 --> 00:51:42.579
after another. And I wouldn't be here today if

00:51:42.579 --> 00:51:46.400
I didn't fail a hundred different times. Okay,

00:51:46.519 --> 00:51:49.460
let me rephrase that. I had an epic fail, though.

00:51:50.300 --> 00:51:54.940
What was an epic fail? Just something that was

00:51:54.940 --> 00:52:00.210
just... I have this one tool that I like. Because

00:52:00.210 --> 00:52:02.030
I have a business phone number that basically

00:52:02.030 --> 00:52:06.610
I use as an autoresponder for people who text

00:52:06.610 --> 00:52:11.570
it to it. Just because I use my contact form

00:52:11.570 --> 00:52:15.150
on my website more than I do because I don't

00:52:15.150 --> 00:52:21.429
allow calls, et cetera. And I was wondering why

00:52:21.429 --> 00:52:27.030
this audit tool wasn't responding. And so I was

00:52:27.030 --> 00:52:28.889
just looking at it. I was like, why is this not

00:52:28.889 --> 00:52:33.489
working? And I went to the settings. It wasn't

00:52:33.489 --> 00:52:36.869
turned on. I was like, I turned it off for some

00:52:36.869 --> 00:52:42.630
reason last year. And I was like, huh, no wonder.

00:52:42.789 --> 00:52:44.829
I was like, I got so busy wrapped up in everything

00:52:44.829 --> 00:52:47.230
else. I was like, why did I turn it off? And

00:52:47.230 --> 00:52:49.690
I couldn't figure out why I turned it off. And

00:52:49.690 --> 00:52:52.130
I was like, well, gee, it doesn't work because

00:52:52.130 --> 00:52:57.329
it's not turned on. I've been in there. I was

00:52:57.329 --> 00:53:00.050
telling people to go to this one Zoom link, and

00:53:00.050 --> 00:53:02.789
I was showing up for a different one. And I totally

00:53:02.789 --> 00:53:07.429
forgot that I had a different one set up, and

00:53:07.429 --> 00:53:10.309
I kept wondering, why is nobody showing up? And

00:53:10.309 --> 00:53:13.190
it took me forever to really figure it out, and

00:53:13.190 --> 00:53:15.909
I lost a lot of business opportunities from it

00:53:15.909 --> 00:53:19.829
because I just didn't have it right. I just forgot

00:53:19.829 --> 00:53:23.280
that I had two set up. So I understand. I understand

00:53:23.280 --> 00:53:25.219
where you're coming from there. And it just happens.

00:53:25.480 --> 00:53:28.420
But now I know better. Now I know to either not

00:53:28.420 --> 00:53:31.579
have a Zoom link that's reoccurring and just

00:53:31.579 --> 00:53:34.360
have it automatically populate something or,

00:53:34.440 --> 00:53:37.340
you know, change the way I do things. So I'll

00:53:37.340 --> 00:53:39.719
pay more attention at least to the way I do things.

00:53:39.980 --> 00:53:43.739
So I get it. I get it. That's why, like I said,

00:53:43.780 --> 00:53:46.460
I've been dialing down it too. Like even if I'm

00:53:46.460 --> 00:53:50.559
not getting to. starting new projects at the

00:53:50.559 --> 00:53:53.480
end of the week to schedule everything out, I

00:53:53.480 --> 00:53:56.619
decided, you know what, the smaller tasks will

00:53:56.619 --> 00:54:00.059
add up to the bigger tasks. Because it's like,

00:54:00.159 --> 00:54:02.980
okay, if I dial into this, I'll dial into that.

00:54:03.480 --> 00:54:08.119
And if I clean up all the overwhelming mess,

00:54:08.340 --> 00:54:11.420
I'll be more likely to say, hey, you know what,

00:54:11.440 --> 00:54:16.639
I can continue going into more content creation.

00:54:17.739 --> 00:54:22.519
fresh with fresh new ideas versus huh do you

00:54:22.519 --> 00:54:24.139
think should i keep this should i get rid of

00:54:24.139 --> 00:54:26.559
this should i when should i get into this interview

00:54:26.559 --> 00:54:33.539
and i'm looking forward to writing the interview

00:54:33.539 --> 00:54:36.340
but it's like i never had like a few minutes

00:54:36.340 --> 00:54:38.159
to myself because somebody always wants something

00:54:38.159 --> 00:54:43.059
else from me i'm like that's like yeah well that's

00:54:43.059 --> 00:54:45.139
what you need to carve in time for yourself and

00:54:45.139 --> 00:54:49.420
schedule it Exactly. High time and be turning

00:54:49.420 --> 00:54:53.219
up the phone, not responding to emails, and make

00:54:53.219 --> 00:54:55.059
that time for yourself because you need it. You

00:54:55.059 --> 00:54:58.820
need that downtime and that self -care for you

00:54:58.820 --> 00:55:01.679
in order for you to be more productive, in order

00:55:01.679 --> 00:55:04.679
for you to continue on staying motivated so that

00:55:04.679 --> 00:55:07.360
you can reach your goals. And building that habit

00:55:07.360 --> 00:55:09.960
is one part of that and having that, setting

00:55:09.960 --> 00:55:16.519
those boundaries. I'll give you a quick example.

00:55:16.760 --> 00:55:19.760
Like one of the companies I've been following

00:55:19.760 --> 00:55:22.039
up with because I have a Google News publication

00:55:22.039 --> 00:55:26.659
for Crazy Fitness Guy. 2 .6K followers finally.

00:55:27.440 --> 00:55:31.659
Wow, awesome. Congratulations. Thank you. And

00:55:31.659 --> 00:55:34.980
one of the things that I've been noticing that's

00:55:34.980 --> 00:55:38.739
been an annoying trend. I'm not sure why it's

00:55:38.739 --> 00:55:43.920
becoming a trend. single month it seems like

00:55:43.920 --> 00:55:46.820
google's always like one article or two articles

00:55:46.820 --> 00:55:51.340
behind and then it updates and i was like all

00:55:51.340 --> 00:55:54.059
these other publications higher up ones are like

00:55:54.059 --> 00:55:57.900
and i'm like not comparing myself to higher publications

00:55:57.900 --> 00:56:02.969
but it's like If my new content is published,

00:56:03.409 --> 00:56:05.869
it should automatically publish to this platform,

00:56:06.010 --> 00:56:11.489
correct? And so I finally, I kind of created

00:56:11.489 --> 00:56:14.809
a kind of a snarky kind of post with tongue -in

00:56:14.809 --> 00:56:18.849
-cheek kind of, but I tweeted to Google, I was

00:56:18.849 --> 00:56:21.690
like, hey, you know, Google, you know, every

00:56:21.690 --> 00:56:25.739
month I have to keep... I tweet to you, and then

00:56:25.739 --> 00:56:28.380
my content is magically updated on your platform,

00:56:28.679 --> 00:56:33.380
but I shouldn't have to do it. It seems to me

00:56:33.380 --> 00:56:35.500
all the other publications don't have to do that.

00:56:35.679 --> 00:56:40.500
Why do I have to do that? But how it became snarky

00:56:40.500 --> 00:56:44.099
a little bit, I put in my PayPal link from Crazy

00:56:44.099 --> 00:56:47.659
Fitness Guys. If you want me to babysit your

00:56:47.659 --> 00:56:52.079
Google bots, I charge $100 an hour for you. There

00:56:52.079 --> 00:56:55.000
you go. There you go. I was like, I must be the...

00:56:55.000 --> 00:56:56.900
Somebody's probably on the Google's end. It's

00:56:56.900 --> 00:56:59.820
like, who is this person who thinks he is? That's

00:56:59.820 --> 00:57:03.760
right. Like, the only person who's willing to

00:57:03.760 --> 00:57:08.139
go against the top tech company in the world.

00:57:08.340 --> 00:57:11.079
There you go. Here's my PayPal link and your

00:57:11.079 --> 00:57:15.719
invoice. Sure. Sure. Perfect. I'm not going to

00:57:15.719 --> 00:57:18.269
do those things. I was like, they're probably

00:57:18.269 --> 00:57:22.309
going to sue me later on. I get that. Yeah, probably.

00:57:23.889 --> 00:57:27.409
So before we wrap up, three questions for you.

00:57:27.989 --> 00:57:31.110
Who's your favorite podcaster and why? And feel

00:57:31.110 --> 00:57:36.389
free to not say me. Jimmy, you took away my whole

00:57:36.389 --> 00:57:42.590
thing. I was going to say you. Oh, my goodness.

00:57:43.590 --> 00:57:47.449
Oh, wow. Let me think. Who else? Who could be

00:57:47.449 --> 00:57:53.289
second to you, Jimmy? No, I like listening to

00:57:53.289 --> 00:57:57.230
Joe Rogan to give him some credit there. He has

00:57:57.230 --> 00:57:59.789
some great interviews and asks some interesting

00:57:59.789 --> 00:58:03.989
questions to people on his show. So I like listening

00:58:03.989 --> 00:58:09.159
to his as well. I listen to Lewis Howes. He's

00:58:09.159 --> 00:58:16.539
from the School of Greatness podcast. I feel

00:58:16.539 --> 00:58:22.739
like I resonate more with his story. Those who

00:58:22.739 --> 00:58:25.960
don't know his story, he used to be an athlete,

00:58:26.119 --> 00:58:29.820
and then he got injured. I mean, I don't resonate

00:58:29.820 --> 00:58:34.449
with that part, but how I resonate is that After

00:58:34.449 --> 00:58:36.469
high school, I didn't know what I wanted to do.

00:58:36.690 --> 00:58:39.969
And so I sat around for a year. Then I started

00:58:39.969 --> 00:58:44.929
doing different odd jobs. And then I decided

00:58:44.929 --> 00:58:47.150
to go to college and enrolled in college until

00:58:47.150 --> 00:58:51.190
fall of 2015. So I resonated with him because

00:58:51.190 --> 00:58:54.329
he was like, well, after my injury, I didn't

00:58:54.329 --> 00:58:56.170
know what to do with myself. My career is over.

00:58:56.349 --> 00:58:58.969
What am I going to do? And then he reinvented

00:58:58.969 --> 00:59:02.159
himself. Of course. And that's a great way to

00:59:02.159 --> 00:59:04.920
go, being able to reinvent yourself. And you

00:59:04.920 --> 00:59:07.260
can reinvent yourself, you know, a hundred different

00:59:07.260 --> 00:59:11.360
times over and over again. Exactly. New ideas

00:59:11.360 --> 00:59:13.420
and purpose and direction you want to go in life.

00:59:13.559 --> 00:59:17.059
And you can do it at any age. I've spoken to

00:59:17.059 --> 00:59:19.619
people that reinvent themselves in their 60s,

00:59:19.679 --> 00:59:22.360
70s, 80s. As long as you've got the motivation,

00:59:22.619 --> 00:59:25.139
the willpower, and a direction you want to go,

00:59:25.340 --> 00:59:30.760
anything is possible. My next question for you

00:59:30.760 --> 00:59:36.099
is what are some of your fun favorite things

00:59:36.099 --> 00:59:38.719
to do in your free time if you're not learning

00:59:38.719 --> 00:59:42.800
something new or listening to a podcast? Sure.

00:59:42.840 --> 00:59:45.539
I love going off -roading. I have a Jeep, so

00:59:45.539 --> 00:59:49.539
I love finding some back trails and pushing my

00:59:49.539 --> 00:59:52.599
Jeep to the limit to see how far I can go and

00:59:52.599 --> 00:59:56.639
rock climb. I love hiking. going out in nature,

00:59:56.800 --> 00:59:59.800
testing my skill set and my endurance on various

00:59:59.800 --> 01:00:02.659
hiking trails. I'm going to be getting into doing

01:00:02.659 --> 01:00:06.159
some kayaking this coming year. I got some new

01:00:06.159 --> 01:00:09.380
kayaks, so I'm going to be testing out my skills

01:00:09.380 --> 01:00:12.500
on the water and see how that goes. And I always

01:00:12.500 --> 01:00:14.079
love going to the gym. I mentioned that a few

01:00:14.079 --> 01:00:17.360
times in our show. I consider myself a gym rat,

01:00:17.500 --> 01:00:20.599
and I'm there at least five days a week. So those

01:00:20.599 --> 01:00:22.239
are the things I like to do when I'm not learning

01:00:22.239 --> 01:00:25.360
or educating or being on. podcast shows like

01:00:25.360 --> 01:00:30.460
yours? I definitely, for me, I like to play a

01:00:30.460 --> 01:00:32.199
little bit of some video games on the weekend.

01:00:33.119 --> 01:00:35.139
I mean, it's not the only thing I do on the weekend.

01:00:35.340 --> 01:00:37.900
Sometimes I'm hanging out with friends, family

01:00:37.900 --> 01:00:44.960
members. I'm also reading books. I've got more

01:00:44.960 --> 01:00:49.239
reading apps. I started to read the free books

01:00:49.239 --> 01:00:54.949
in the Nook app for my Android phone. Because,

01:00:55.070 --> 01:00:56.949
like I said, I'm trying to cut back on some of

01:00:56.949 --> 01:01:00.710
my expenses. I'm going to have to buy a book

01:01:00.710 --> 01:01:03.869
here and there. If it's in a series that I've

01:01:03.869 --> 01:01:07.309
been reading or a colleague of mine who just

01:01:07.309 --> 01:01:10.630
published a book that I'm waiting on to get some

01:01:10.630 --> 01:01:15.230
more money coming in before I buy it, I have

01:01:15.230 --> 01:01:18.550
to replace an email signature tool first because

01:01:18.550 --> 01:01:22.289
that one just went. Bye -bye after a couple of

01:01:22.289 --> 01:01:25.030
years. I was like, I can't even update this thing

01:01:25.030 --> 01:01:29.010
anymore. I was like, it's broke. It's like, I

01:01:29.010 --> 01:01:31.389
can't update it on their website, so time to

01:01:31.389 --> 01:01:39.469
throw it out before the ship sinks. And my last

01:01:39.469 --> 01:01:41.730
question for you is, where can people find you,

01:01:41.789 --> 01:01:44.230
follow you, and learn more about who you are

01:01:44.230 --> 01:01:47.829
and what you do? That's a great question. Yeah,

01:01:47.909 --> 01:01:52.630
people can reach out to me. I do have a new company

01:01:52.630 --> 01:01:56.269
called the Mindful Man Method where I'm focusing

01:01:56.269 --> 01:01:59.369
on empowering men on how to live more empowered

01:01:59.369 --> 01:02:03.070
lives and build stronger relationships. And if

01:02:03.070 --> 01:02:05.050
you're interested and you're a guy who feels

01:02:05.050 --> 01:02:06.969
that that's something that you need in life or

01:02:06.969 --> 01:02:09.670
maybe you know a guy that needs this in their

01:02:09.670 --> 01:02:12.610
life, you can just simply go to the mindfulmanmethod

01:02:12.610 --> 01:02:16.300
.com where you can... read more about myself,

01:02:16.559 --> 01:02:20.880
what I do, the coaching that I provide, and see

01:02:20.880 --> 01:02:23.000
what else I have to offer. You can feel free

01:02:23.000 --> 01:02:24.820

01:02:24.820 --> 01:02:28.380
through the website or reach me at Len, L -E

01:02:28.380 --> 01:02:33.300
-N, at the, excuse me, Len, L -E -N, at MindfulMan.

01:02:33.840 --> 01:02:37.199
Ooh, I'm getting tongue -tied. Look at that.

01:02:37.280 --> 01:02:39.800
I'm still screwing it up. I'm just speaking.

01:02:39.980 --> 01:02:41.900
This is very challenging sometimes, speaking.

01:02:43.210 --> 01:02:47.289
Simply, you can email me at len, L -E -N, at

01:02:47.289 --> 01:02:56.070
mindfulmanmethod .com. Say that five times fast.

01:02:56.469 --> 01:02:59.190
I know, but that's the power of doing these podcast

01:02:59.190 --> 01:03:00.949
shows. This is what it's about, being human.

01:03:01.269 --> 01:03:04.889
We screw up, you know? Technically, I failed

01:03:04.889 --> 01:03:09.010
to save my own website, my own email, but it's

01:03:09.010 --> 01:03:11.050
a learning experience. Now I know what to do.

01:03:11.550 --> 01:03:14.750
slow myself down a little bit, take my time to

01:03:14.750 --> 01:03:18.070
think it through, and say, correct me the first

01:03:18.070 --> 01:03:23.969
time around. See? Very simple. So, just out of

01:03:23.969 --> 01:03:27.369
curiosity, I know, extra question, but just out

01:03:27.369 --> 01:03:30.809
of curiosity, how do you manage to do all these

01:03:30.809 --> 01:03:33.710
businesses? Are they all up and running still,

01:03:33.909 --> 01:03:37.179
or are you just focusing on the new one? Right

01:03:37.179 --> 01:03:39.800
now, I'm just focusing on the mindful man method.

01:03:39.940 --> 01:03:43.099
That's kind of my passion right now and empowering

01:03:43.099 --> 01:03:46.900
men. So that's where I'm going. I still have

01:03:46.900 --> 01:03:49.599
my book out there, 1 % More, The Hidden Force

01:03:49.599 --> 01:03:52.179
to Create Extraordinary Results in Life and Business.

01:03:52.460 --> 01:03:55.820
Beautiful book. It's a co -authored book. I have

01:03:55.820 --> 01:03:58.780
about 25 other co -authors in there in this book

01:03:58.780 --> 01:04:02.889
along with my four pillars of success. And it's

01:04:02.889 --> 01:04:06.250
an amazing book. I've got a lot of great reviews

01:04:06.250 --> 01:04:08.610
on it. I'm contemplating a second one here soon.

01:04:09.239 --> 01:04:12.719
So I'm excited about working on that and just

01:04:12.719 --> 01:04:47.579
putting myself out there. Hydroflask is the best

01:04:47.579 --> 01:04:50.980
water bottle in my opinion because it keeps my

01:04:50.980 --> 01:04:53.719
water nice and cold and refreshing throughout

01:04:53.719 --> 01:04:56.559
the day. And yes, I do drink a lot of water throughout

01:04:56.559 --> 01:05:00.340
the day, so even though it stays colder for longer,

01:05:00.519 --> 01:05:06.659
I still like having a reusable water bottle like

01:05:06.659 --> 01:05:10.780
Hydroflask. because it just sits on my desk,

01:05:10.860 --> 01:05:15.920
and it just sits on my desk and reminds me, hey,

01:05:16.139 --> 01:05:20.320
you've got to drink water. And Hydro Flask, it

01:05:20.320 --> 01:05:23.840
keeps it cold longer, which makes me want to

01:05:23.840 --> 01:05:25.900
drink more water throughout the day, because,

01:05:25.920 --> 01:05:29.159
you know, there's nothing worse than drinking

01:05:29.159 --> 01:05:35.059
warm water. Go to hydroflask .com. And use the

01:05:35.059 --> 01:05:38.619
link in the show notes. And yes, I do get a small

01:05:38.619 --> 01:05:44.099
commission from Hydro Flask, which also helps

01:05:44.099 --> 01:05:47.159
support the show. So tell them I sent you. Use

01:05:47.159 --> 01:05:51.500
