I've been through a lot in my life.

Adoption.

Prison.

Divorce.

As an entrepreneur, you're going to go through some stress.

Everything that happened to me prepared me to be an entrepreneur.

I've had slow months.

Been audited by the IRS.

And have been hit with things I didn't plan on.

Entrepreneurs are often overweight, out of shape, and have health issues.

The amount of cortisol created from the stress would kill most people.

Remember, it's just business.

This may help........don't take it personal.

Find solutions.

Get focused on those.

Take action and watch your stress levels decrease and your ability to manage it much easier.

One of the biggest truths about life is we're emotional beings.

We have hormones.

We get emotional.

For men, our testosterone is at the highest levels when we're 18 and start declining after that.

In women, menopause and perimenopause is a real thing.

Many relationships take a beating because of the communication challenges.

I've been on TRT for awhile and it's a game changer beyond the benefits of having more sex and it's not just for men.

Lean in and listen!!!!!

Gather round for another parenting storytime.

This one is something that's happened to most parents at one point or another with at least one of their children.

I usually keep a little cash on hand in the event we need something.

I went to dig into the stash cause there's something Amy wanted and I noticed there was some money missing.

We have maids, nannies, and people at the house but didn't want to go accusing anyone, so we started asking the boys.

I called all 3 of my boys outside and told them there was some money missing.

Did any of you take money from my room?

Asher: "No."

Jax: "Yes."

I told them that money was theirs. They worked for it, but all they had to do was ask.

I told them, "If you want something, don't just take it."

I continued by telling them "Guys, your word is your bond and if I can't trust you and you can't trust me, then what are we doing here?"

They aplogized and understood, but let that be a lesson.

I was talking to my eldest son Jax the other day, and he said, "Dad, I got an idea of something you can talk about on your podcast."

I said, "Okay, whatcha got?"

He said, "What's the true key to success? I know it's staying focused and fighting the force of average, but what is the true key to success?"

I told him he had it all figured out and I had a proud dad moment, but he said he didn't quite understand what that meant, so I broke it down like this:

Focus + Don't Quit = Win.

Thomas Edison blew himself up 10,000 times before he got it right.

He was out trying to figure things out.

Blew things up.

Burned his barn.

Can you imagine your 10,000 attempts at something and you're still not right?

He finally figured it out.

Imagine the railroads.

People from other countries who didn't quit building the railroads. (Now we have transportation)

The railroad wasn't built in a day.

People today think they need some sort of instant success.

Solve a problem or objective.

Work to solve the problem.

Don't quit.

That's the true secret to success.

That one attempt made by Thomas Edison set their family up forever.

Start thinking like that and you'll never have to worry a day in your life.

I was talking with one of my employees Monico the other day and something amazing happened.

I won't share the details, but it was something you would call a miracle.

It was a miracle.

Unexplained circumstances that worked out better than I could've planned.

And the only thing I can reconcile as what happened was something called Godfidence.

That confidence to act as if it's already been granted by God.

He made you and me.

Every single idea we get is from God, so I feel it as my obligation to put action to every single idea I get. (Well, most of the good ones).

Our creator made us in HIS image.

He doesn't want me to fail.

Most people rely on themselves saying things that aren't true like, "I'm not good enough, I can't do it, blah, blah, blah."

If I still relied on myself, I'd still be in jail.

Divorced.

Broke.

So, I ask God how I can do things.

And I trust him because I know he GODs my back.

He's got yours, too!

Most people fail at the game of life because they choose not to protect their inner peace.

This is not a hokey podcast episode about the Law of Attraction, even though I believe in that stuff.

What I am talking about it people allowing their validation from external forces or people.

I used to be insecure about the outside world.

I thought if I had a Lambo or Jet lease, I would finally be validated.

I don't have those things anymore, but I'm doing alright.

I have plenty of money and realized I don't need most of the shit this world has to offer.

Just my family, my life, and the ability ot protect my inner peace.

When you can control that, you can be in your true power.

I've been a father for 13 years at this point.

And beyond learning how to be a better person, came the challenge of becoming a better father, but there's a simple fact you have to remember as a parent.....

We don't stop growing when we become parents.

And we don't stop growing when the kids leave the house at 18.

This is a lifelong journey we take with our children.

Year 8 is going to be different from year 13.

Year 13 is going to be different from year 17.

Experiences, challenges, and lessons are all products of the parent-child relationship.

And guess what, you'll never completely master it as long as you are continuing to build upon the solid foundation you established.

If the foundation is wobbly right now, assess where you can make changes.

Be better.

Be patient.

Invest the time to teach with compassion.

Show them the right way and the best way to do things.

If you don't know what is the right way, think about the parents you respect the most.

They'll share their secrets.

Whatever you do, don't quit.

Do you know why most people are scattered?

Because they don't schedule shit.

When I was a kid, we didn't have cell phones, gps, or anything beyond a clock and our personal commitment to being responsible for getting to where we needed to be and on time.

Why?

Because if we were late, we got our asses whipped.

So I always made sure I was always 15 minutes early.

If you're not 15 minutes early, you're late.

When I started my business, I had to have a more organized way to get things done on time and on schedule.

When I got married and started having kids, I needed to make sure I made time with my children, my wife, and family obligations.

As I was juggling everything, I had to be more protective and strategic with my time.

And I made a new rule.....

If it wasn't on my calendar, it wasn't real and didn't get done.

I urge you to take this on as a policy in your life.

Schedule things.

Schedule time.

And if it doesn't fit into the box on your calendar, it's not getting done that day.

If you want to get more done and be more productive you have to be more strategic with your time.

Time in does not equate to produced results.

Here's what most people do.

They start working in their profession for 6 months and 10 years later, the only thing they have is repeating the same thing they learned in the first 6 months of their career.

They stop growing.

I go to the gym with people who have been going to the gym for 8 years and are still fat and out of shape.

Sure, they still make it to the gym, but they have not ascended to learning more, eating better, and getting in better shape 8 years later.

That's what most people do.

I have a young lady that works on my finance team and she's been working in her field for 2 years, but has done more for me in the last 6 months than those I've hired in the past with 20 years experience.

It's because she is learning and growing herself in her profession every single day.

So, before you work with someone who claims to have 10, 15, 20 years experience, have them take you through every element of their journey in their profession and ask for the receipts.

One of the toughest things human beings have to do is battle their fight or flight mechanisms.

I've run through bad programming in my head.

It was the reason I stayed broke.

It was the reason people came for me.

It was the reason I had issues with my businesses.

But when I got clear about the way I speak to myself, about myself, and my circumstances, things started to change.

I say positive things.

Listen to positive music.

Walk when I hear negativity.

Try it for yourself this week and watch how what you say breaks you from the loops that keep playing in your head and playing out in your life.

What does it take to build the right team in your business?

It's a question most business owners don't ask.

Most operate from a place of finding bodies, outlining job titles, and negotiating wages and putting them to work.

This frees up your time and headaches and gets you out of doing the menial tasks you hate doing or ones that are not a good use of your time.......but.........

This is sloppy.

Without strategic intention in who you hire, you're going to experience drama, high turn over rates, and an overall chaos.

I've had 50 people on my team at any time.

I've had middle management and no matter what happens, my message and vision always gets muddled in the process.

In most cases, it's not even close to what I said to begin with.

What I've learned is I am great at managing smaller teams.

I've had to hire and fire 20 people to find 5 good ones.

My process to hiring and building teams involves getting everyone on The G Code.

Reading a new book every single month.

These days you don't need hundreds of employees to make millions of dollars per year.

You just need the right people with the right skill set and the ability to execute on a singular vision.
