I lost my shit the other day on my 13-year-old son.

We were fishing and I told him to grab a tool from the toolbox.

A fish had a hook stuck in his gills.

I don't like killing fish.

I love catch and release.

30 minutes before, he was looking for it and never put it back.

I laid into him and tore him a new asshole.

An hour after he was done being mad at me, we had a talk about "Man Law."

If I give you a knife closed, hand it back to me closed.

Same with any other item.

If you spend the night at someone's house, make sure everything was as you found it.

Same applies for the toilet seat.

When we go camping, people leave their trash.

Not our family. We pick up every little piece of trash and paper.

The law of man is to leave things as they were or better.

Give it back as you found it, or put in back in the place you found it, but no matter what, leave it better than you found it.

This applies to everything in your life.

I've got many rules in life and only a couple in business.

1. Number 1: Don't do business with family.
2. Number 2: Don't do business with friends.

Don't work with them.

Don't do them a favor.

Don't try to help them out.

Sure, give them a discount, but make sure before you make a committment to your family or friends, it doesn't end up coming to bite you in your ass.

The reason people lose friends when doing business is the emotional connection they have to money.

The emotional connection to the entitlement and lack of gratitude when hard decisions have to be made.

I've done business with a lot of people who were ONCE friends.

If you want friends, or family, don't do business with them.

Lean in, Listen, and learn.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news.

The way sales used to work doesn't work the same.

We live in a time where the consumer is more educated.

They have access to more information now more than ever thanks to the advent of the internet.

Your hardcore closing techniques will not work against all the information in the world.

The best approach will be to lead with service.

You have to have a service attitude.

It starts with caring what people need.

What they want.

And then, being resourceful and finding exactly what they want.

ChatGPT is slated to be the next big sales disruptor.

Care about people.

Show them.

Help them.

And you'll never have to sell another day in your life.

I don't mean to be an alarmist, but if you are an employee for a company, you will be replace in the not to distant future.

A.I. is more cost-effective.

It doesn't complain, need a salary.

Take vacations.

Ask for raises.

Need sick days.

401K and retirement.

The best thing you can do is to become an entrepreneur.

If you don't own or control the tech, it's going to own you.

Get on the front side of this before it is completely here.

You have maybe 5 good years doing whatever it is you're doing and don't think for a moment we won't figure out how to do some amazing things and replace 90% of the jobs in the world these days.

The best advice I can give you is to find something that's not sexy.

Something that's going to be needed.

Start a company around that.

Build the tech.

Be the best at it.

You've got 5 months!

Procrastination is a disease there is no cure or pill for.

No magic phrase.

It's all about having the right mindset.

My brain and my body are programmed to protect myself and my family.

I do some dangerous things to put my body in pain.

Going to the gym.

Staying focused at work.

I have to kick out that little bitch voice out of my head and replace it with the real Ryan Stewman voice.

Let me remind you.......

God rewards the action takers.

The hustlers.

Many people like to wait on God, on other people........on themselves.

If you do what the 99% do, you'll continue to wait.

As soon as an idea comes into your mind, do it.

God gives you the idea, and it's up to you to take action.

The way you get rid of procrastination is to kill that little voice that tells you to wait.......the bitch voice.

If you think it, do it.

Do it now!

Do it!

I got out of federal prison over 20 years ago.

I was married.

Had my wife leave me while I was in.

I was a millionaire when I went in and came out broke.

She took everything.

I was fueled by rage, hurt, anger, and I made it my mission to prove everyone wrong who fucked me over.

I was cut so deep, I was turned into a monster.

I had to convert all that into reading books, learning, growing, and earning.

Around 2018, I wasn't mad anymore at those people.

I had worked my way into millions.

Driving my favorite cars.

Life got good.

I had attracted a woman I love and who loves me.

Added onto my family.

The thing that fueled me wasn't there anymore once I got everything I wanted.

I had to find a new source of fuel.

Anger and rage are good motivators in the beginning, but it burns fast and hot.

When I refueled, I had to do it from a place of abundance.

I did it with my core values:

Responsibility

Integrity

Service

Excellence

In order to do this, I had to shed the anger and rage and replace them with abundance and gratitude.

If you want to keep rolling down the highway, you need a Rolls or Cadillac to do it smoothly.

Hot Rods burn out.

Slow and steady wins the race.

In life, you need the 3 Cs.

The first one is connection.

In business, if you're the go-to guy for anything from attorneys, to doctors, or other service providers, you'll never have to go make new friends. They'll come to you as long as you're doing the right things.

The second C is Capital. You need money to run your business. And yes, those who are worth $50 million dollars sometimes need capital. In order to keep things rolling, you have to have capital.

The last and most powerful C is Coaching. I don't coach anyone, but you need to have a mentor to help you navigate where you want to go.

I suggest finding someone who is above you in business. If you are grossing $5M a year, find someone who is doing $20-$25M to help you.

Pay them for their time and save yours in the process by expediting your learning curve.

Stick to the 3 Cs and you'll have everything you need.

My ranch hand is a guy who I did a little federal time with in prison.

He's got a tattoo on his neck that says "1%er."

This comes from a phrase citing it's not others you have to look out for....it's the one percent that will cause the most damage. You have to look out for them.

This got me thinking so I aske Grok what it meant for a human being to be the elite 1%.

It started identifying my strengths.

I work out and can press 250 pounds. I'm just below the one percent for my age.

My weight, and body fat.......sitting in the 1% at 45 years of age.

I asked about my business and shared my assets, income, and it shot back that I'm in the 1% of business owners.

What does 1% mean to you?

Get clear on that and focus on what has to happen for you to be the 1% you want to be.

Everyone should strive for this.
