WEBVTT - Lessons Learned In April

0:00:10.520 --> 0:00:15.020
<v S1>Welcome back to Building Billions. This is what I learned

0:00:15.020 --> 0:00:17.960
<v S1>in April. I love doing these. It gives me a

0:00:17.960 --> 0:00:20.450
<v S1>moment to, like, look back and really think about the

0:00:20.450 --> 0:00:23.000
<v S1>lessons that I learned. And I did a cool thing

0:00:23.000 --> 0:00:25.939
<v S1>this month. I wrote down the lessons as I was

0:00:25.940 --> 0:00:28.040
<v S1>learning them in the past of like spent a little

0:00:28.040 --> 0:00:30.560
<v S1>time going back through my meetings and my days and

0:00:30.560 --> 0:00:34.520
<v S1>just things that made pivots for me. But this time

0:00:34.520 --> 0:00:37.159
<v S1>I'm like, I'm writing this down as it's happening. So

0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:41.570
<v S1>I got some good ones. April was a big, huge,

0:00:41.570 --> 0:00:44.839
<v S1>massive month for me. I turned 30 years old in

0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:49.580
<v S1>April and with that came a lot of reflection, a

0:00:49.580 --> 0:00:52.820
<v S1>lot of planning, a lot of reassessing. And so let's

0:00:52.820 --> 0:00:57.620
<v S1>just dive into this first lesson of April. This is

0:00:57.620 --> 0:01:00.080
<v S1>not in chronological order. This is also not an order

0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:02.720
<v S1>of importance. This is just what I wanted to start with.

0:01:05.100 --> 0:01:11.940
<v S1>Motivation is your responsibility. Nobody is responsible for your motivation

0:01:11.940 --> 0:01:14.370
<v S1>or for your lack of motivation. I was on a

0:01:14.370 --> 0:01:17.250
<v S1>call with a business owner a few days ago, like

0:01:17.250 --> 0:01:19.320
<v S1>at the tail end of April. A lot of epiphanies

0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:22.530
<v S1>happen at the tail end of April, and the business

0:01:22.530 --> 0:01:27.300
<v S1>owner was essentially telling me that it was my fault

0:01:27.300 --> 0:01:33.060
<v S1>that another business owner wasn't motivated due to their comp plan.

0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:37.500
<v S1>And I paused and I listened and it's like, wait

0:01:37.500 --> 0:01:42.810
<v S1>a second. That person's motivation is not my responsibility. That

0:01:42.810 --> 0:01:48.240
<v S1>person should be motivated for whatever reasons, drive them. And

0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:52.140
<v S1>there could be a plethora of reasons when your business owner,

0:01:52.140 --> 0:01:55.680
<v S1>when you're trying to achieve something. You you take what

0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:59.970
<v S1>you have and you use it to motivate you. If

0:01:59.970 --> 0:02:03.570
<v S1>you're frustrated, if you're insecure, if you're feeling self-doubt, if

0:02:03.570 --> 0:02:06.660
<v S1>you want to help a billion people and impact the world,

0:02:06.660 --> 0:02:09.930
<v S1>whatever it is that is important to you, you can

0:02:09.930 --> 0:02:13.709
<v S1>use that to create motivation. But it is not your

0:02:13.710 --> 0:02:18.870
<v S1>responsibility to create motivation for someone else. That has to

0:02:18.870 --> 0:02:22.139
<v S1>be an individualized choice. Sure. Can you be a great example?

0:02:22.169 --> 0:02:26.220
<v S1>Of course you can. But you can't motivate them. And

0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:33.340
<v S1>any structure, any creation that you might have that inspires them. Fantastic.

0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:35.130
<v S1>You're doing your part for the world. I know that

0:02:35.130 --> 0:02:39.210
<v S1>I oftentimes whenever I want to act in a way

0:02:39.210 --> 0:02:41.910
<v S1>that I know would not be inspirational and would be

0:02:41.910 --> 0:02:45.660
<v S1>petty and would be just like the not good decision,

0:02:45.660 --> 0:02:48.150
<v S1>but the decision that I feel like making, I think

0:02:48.150 --> 0:02:51.030
<v S1>to myself, man, what if 20 year old Natalie was

0:02:51.030 --> 0:02:53.340
<v S1>watching me? Like, would she be inspired by this? Or

0:02:53.340 --> 0:02:56.960
<v S1>would she think like, you, why are you acting like this?

0:02:56.970 --> 0:02:59.940
<v S1>And that in of itself is motivation for me to

0:02:59.940 --> 0:03:03.119
<v S1>change my behavior. So I use 20 year old Natalie.

0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:06.810
<v S1>Or if my employees saw me make this decision or

0:03:06.810 --> 0:03:09.510
<v S1>if I was on Instagram live making this decision, how

0:03:09.510 --> 0:03:12.150
<v S1>would I make the decision? And it always grounds me

0:03:12.150 --> 0:03:13.740
<v S1>and centers me to say, okay, I'm going to I'm

0:03:13.740 --> 0:03:16.200
<v S1>going to make it in this direction. So if you

0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:18.720
<v S1>feel like there are people, maybe it's your sales team,

0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:22.350
<v S1>maybe it's a business partner, maybe it's your significant other

0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:27.060
<v S1>and you are bearing the weight of their motivation that

0:03:27.060 --> 0:03:30.570
<v S1>is not on you, that is on them. And you

0:03:30.570 --> 0:03:34.260
<v S1>can help them find those things. You can do what

0:03:34.260 --> 0:03:37.440
<v S1>what it might take to to guide them along the

0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:39.840
<v S1>path to be a source of inspiration. But ultimately, it

0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:46.200
<v S1>is not on you to motivate anybody but yourself. Number two.

0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:51.589
<v S1>The week of my birthday. I won't talk about this

0:03:51.590 --> 0:03:55.820
<v S1>too much right now. Might be fun to share in

0:03:55.820 --> 0:03:58.340
<v S1>the future. Accrued some content during it so that I

0:03:58.340 --> 0:04:01.070
<v S1>could share the future. But the week of my birthday

0:04:01.070 --> 0:04:04.740
<v S1>from a business standpoint was really a shit show. There

0:04:04.740 --> 0:04:08.270
<v S1>was just a lot of different moving parts, a lot

0:04:08.270 --> 0:04:13.610
<v S1>of bad news. And one of the mornings I remember

0:04:13.610 --> 0:04:16.760
<v S1>I said, I don't cry, especially like in public. One

0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:19.219
<v S1>of the mornings I think it was the morning of

0:04:19.430 --> 0:04:22.520
<v S1>Noah's morning, my birthday morning before my birthday. It was

0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:26.960
<v S1>some really bad news. I started bawling just like it

0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:31.850
<v S1>was just a shit week and we were flying up

0:04:31.850 --> 0:04:35.510
<v S1>to New York for the Vogue event and meeting Sarah

0:04:35.510 --> 0:04:38.270
<v S1>Jessica Parker and Gigi Hadid, which, if you haven't checked

0:04:38.270 --> 0:04:44.089
<v S1>out that episode, you totally should. But I was on

0:04:44.089 --> 0:04:48.260
<v S1>the flight and just like, irritated. Like, why does this

0:04:48.260 --> 0:04:50.630
<v S1>shit have to happen on this milestone that has been

0:04:50.630 --> 0:04:54.369
<v S1>really important to me. And I. I don't get in

0:04:54.370 --> 0:04:58.630
<v S1>bad moods very often. I really don't. But in that moment,

0:04:58.630 --> 0:05:00.640
<v S1>I could feel like I was getting myself in a

0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:03.640
<v S1>bad mood. I was very negative. And then it dawned

0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:05.920
<v S1>on me. I was like, Wait a second, this is

0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:12.950
<v S1>a moment versus my life. A moment versus my life

0:05:12.950 --> 0:05:16.669
<v S1>When I assess the moment. The moment fucking sucks, the

0:05:16.670 --> 0:05:19.729
<v S1>moment shitty, the moment there's uncertainty and there's doubt and

0:05:19.730 --> 0:05:22.850
<v S1>there's frustration and there's anger. The moment is filled with

0:05:22.850 --> 0:05:26.670
<v S1>all of these emotions. But. Where's that hit? Like, let's

0:05:26.670 --> 0:05:30.330
<v S1>take a step back and assess the life. I'm so

0:05:30.330 --> 0:05:33.270
<v S1>proud of the work that I've put in to build

0:05:33.270 --> 0:05:37.470
<v S1>the life that I have with Brandon, with our businesses,

0:05:37.470 --> 0:05:42.120
<v S1>with our partners, with our team. Like, I'm I can't

0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:45.630
<v S1>even believe the life that I have today. Funny enough,

0:05:45.630 --> 0:05:48.570
<v S1>I'm back in New York. I have a really cool

0:05:48.570 --> 0:05:54.000
<v S1>event that I'm here for and I remember so vividly

0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:58.590
<v S1>it was 2017 and we were here in New York

0:05:58.589 --> 0:06:04.140
<v S1>with some previous business partners and it was for a meeting,

0:06:04.140 --> 0:06:06.270
<v S1>but I wasn't really involved in the meeting. I wasn't

0:06:06.270 --> 0:06:09.510
<v S1>invited to the meeting. I wasn't a participant. Like I

0:06:09.510 --> 0:06:13.530
<v S1>didn't actively work in that business at that time, and

0:06:13.529 --> 0:06:15.750
<v S1>I just felt shitty about myself. I remember being in

0:06:15.750 --> 0:06:18.090
<v S1>my hotel room the majority of the time because I

0:06:18.089 --> 0:06:22.260
<v S1>didn't have any appointments there. There's so many big things

0:06:22.260 --> 0:06:25.290
<v S1>and exciting events and stuff going on in New York

0:06:25.380 --> 0:06:30.179
<v S1>City and I. So clearly. Remember telling Brandon, I want

0:06:30.180 --> 0:06:32.640
<v S1>to build a life where we have things to do

0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:38.880
<v S1>here that are meaningful and are important and where we're needed.

0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:43.950
<v S1>And I it was a turning point moment for me.

0:06:44.190 --> 0:06:47.339
<v S1>And so now to be here, I have an interview

0:06:47.339 --> 0:06:49.200
<v S1>and just like I probably got to leave actually in

0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:51.479
<v S1>like the next ten minutes, I have an interview today.

0:06:52.460 --> 0:06:58.550
<v S1>A dream friggin bucket list item of my life with Chanel.

0:06:58.550 --> 0:07:02.510
<v S1>There's an event tonight and a couple of meetings throughout

0:07:02.510 --> 0:07:04.760
<v S1>the day here, and I'm just I took a shower

0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:07.550
<v S1>this morning and I was like, Holy shit, this is

0:07:07.550 --> 0:07:09.710
<v S1>my life. This is a life that I dreamed of.

0:07:09.710 --> 0:07:12.770
<v S1>This is the life that I've always wanted. This is

0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:16.010
<v S1>and it's it's going to get even better because there's

0:07:16.010 --> 0:07:18.320
<v S1>now new levels to this life that I want. But.

0:07:18.980 --> 0:07:21.350
<v S1>In the moment when I was so frustrated a few

0:07:21.350 --> 0:07:24.590
<v S1>weeks ago to change the mood, I just really had

0:07:24.590 --> 0:07:27.500
<v S1>to remind myself, Natalie, you love your life. This moment

0:07:27.500 --> 0:07:29.300
<v S1>is going to pass. You're going to be able to

0:07:29.300 --> 0:07:31.370
<v S1>tell the story in three years from now or five

0:07:31.370 --> 0:07:34.460
<v S1>years from now about all of the change. Because right

0:07:34.460 --> 0:07:36.320
<v S1>now I'm in a season where it just doesn't feel

0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:38.540
<v S1>like there's progress. It just feels hard and it feels

0:07:38.540 --> 0:07:41.810
<v S1>tough and it just it feels kind of icky. And

0:07:41.810 --> 0:07:45.530
<v S1>I know that it's going to pop to another level,

0:07:45.530 --> 0:07:47.810
<v S1>but the pop hasn't happened, and it's probably going to

0:07:47.810 --> 0:07:49.640
<v S1>be a deferred pop. It's probably going to pop in

0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:52.610
<v S1>like a year and a half like this. It's it's

0:07:52.610 --> 0:07:56.750
<v S1>going to take time. It's not an overnight thing. But recognizing, man,

0:07:56.750 --> 0:08:01.910
<v S1>when you're having a moment that feels shitty. Maybe your

0:08:01.910 --> 0:08:04.130
<v S1>life doesn't feel great right now and maybe you need

0:08:04.130 --> 0:08:06.620
<v S1>that moment to reset. My life did not feel great

0:08:06.620 --> 0:08:10.850
<v S1>when I was in the hotel room almost seven years ago.

0:08:11.930 --> 0:08:14.270
<v S1>Really low on myself. So then you have to take

0:08:14.270 --> 0:08:16.610
<v S1>the steps in order to make the changes, to create

0:08:16.610 --> 0:08:19.070
<v S1>the life that you want. But if you can separate

0:08:19.070 --> 0:08:21.380
<v S1>the life and the moment, it's not a resting on

0:08:21.380 --> 0:08:23.270
<v S1>your laurels thing, it's not like, Oh, I'm just going

0:08:23.270 --> 0:08:27.020
<v S1>to be happy. However, sometimes it's just the moment sucks

0:08:27.020 --> 0:08:28.910
<v S1>and it's okay at the moment sucks and it's okay

0:08:28.910 --> 0:08:32.480
<v S1>that it's hard. Okay. Can you handle hard? Totally. I

0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:36.859
<v S1>can handle hard. I know you can handle hard. So compartmentalize.

0:08:36.860 --> 0:08:39.320
<v S1>It's the moment versus this is the life you're building.

0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:41.120
<v S1>And as long as you're proud of the life that

0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:44.210
<v S1>you're building, who you're spending your time with, where you're going,

0:08:44.210 --> 0:08:51.290
<v S1>where your energy is spent, you good? You good. This

0:08:51.290 --> 0:08:57.320
<v S1>next one came from the one, the only Alana Cardon.

0:08:57.530 --> 0:09:01.520
<v S1>I was talking with her about a handful of things

0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:05.780
<v S1>that are going on and really seeking advice in communication.

0:09:05.780 --> 0:09:09.020
<v S1>And she said to me, one of the greatest things

0:09:09.020 --> 0:09:12.950
<v S1>that she's learned to do that's really transformed her communication

0:09:12.950 --> 0:09:19.939
<v S1>is not handling the situation or the problems that somebody's

0:09:19.940 --> 0:09:21.679
<v S1>saying or like the tax that you feel like you

0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:24.500
<v S1>have to be then like defensive of because of the

0:09:24.500 --> 0:09:29.180
<v S1>very particular situation. Instead of handling something in that way,

0:09:29.179 --> 0:09:36.560
<v S1>you handle the origination. So in any communication cycle, that's difficult.

0:09:37.070 --> 0:09:40.880
<v S1>Somebody might be complaining that, you know, Oh, you didn't

0:09:41.270 --> 0:09:45.949
<v S1>hold my hand. And it's been the third time this

0:09:45.950 --> 0:09:48.469
<v S1>week that you weren't interested in holding my hand. Why

0:09:48.470 --> 0:09:50.719
<v S1>are you not holding my hand? You. You don't love

0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:54.980
<v S1>me anymore. Is it about the hand? Of course not.

0:09:55.100 --> 0:09:58.100
<v S1>It's not about the hand, the origination. The person doesn't

0:09:58.100 --> 0:10:03.559
<v S1>feel loved. So don't even talk about the hand. Just

0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:08.540
<v S1>say I'm sorry that you're feeling not loved. I didn't

0:10:08.540 --> 0:10:15.270
<v S1>realize that. My reaction. My. Lapse of judgment and holding

0:10:15.270 --> 0:10:17.430
<v S1>your hand was going to hand or was going to

0:10:17.429 --> 0:10:21.810
<v S1>create this feeling because that sounds like a really shitty feeling,

0:10:21.809 --> 0:10:24.449
<v S1>you know, I love you. And granted, Elaine was not

0:10:24.450 --> 0:10:28.110
<v S1>giving me marriage advice. It wasn't about Brandon or holding hands,

0:10:28.110 --> 0:10:33.689
<v S1>and it was about something business related. But handling the origination,

0:10:33.690 --> 0:10:38.790
<v S1>somebody doesn't feel seen, somebody doesn't feel appreciated, someone is

0:10:39.270 --> 0:10:44.370
<v S1>just frustrated. Most people and oftentimes you'll handle the very

0:10:44.370 --> 0:10:48.720
<v S1>specific situation, but that's not the right thing to do.

0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:51.470
<v S1>And so I've applied this over the last few weeks,

0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:53.190
<v S1>and she and I talked about this, and it's really

0:10:53.190 --> 0:10:57.630
<v S1>been masterful. You don't have to agree with everything that

0:10:57.630 --> 0:11:01.140
<v S1>somebody says. You don't have to be right. You just

0:11:01.140 --> 0:11:04.890
<v S1>have to handle and really look at what is the origination.

0:11:04.890 --> 0:11:06.750
<v S1>If you can go to the root and go to

0:11:06.750 --> 0:11:10.350
<v S1>the origination man, it's like it's a game changer. This

0:11:10.350 --> 0:11:16.679
<v S1>is really helped me in communication. And I would suggest

0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:20.190
<v S1>if you were having difficulty in relationships and communication right now,

0:11:20.610 --> 0:11:23.429
<v S1>look at and try to uncover like what is the

0:11:23.429 --> 0:11:28.110
<v S1>origination on the other person's side of the issue and

0:11:28.110 --> 0:11:31.770
<v S1>maybe what is the origination on your own side. You're

0:11:31.770 --> 0:11:34.140
<v S1>talking about the fact that the person isn't holding your hand,

0:11:34.140 --> 0:11:36.480
<v S1>but is it actually that you don't feel loved? How

0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:40.590
<v S1>could you communicate that that's the origination instead of you

0:11:40.590 --> 0:11:42.840
<v S1>never hold my hand and having it be some sort

0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:49.559
<v S1>of explosion. Okay. My final April epiphany and I got

0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:53.400
<v S1>to get rolling here because this interview, it's going to happen.

0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:58.709
<v S1>And ideally it happens with me, not without me. So, uh,

0:11:58.710 --> 0:12:02.700
<v S1>the last other than so many things, but for the

0:12:02.700 --> 0:12:09.780
<v S1>purposes of this podcast, I was driving with my brother

0:12:09.780 --> 0:12:15.179
<v S1>from Orlando to Miami just three days ago. We were

0:12:15.179 --> 0:12:17.309
<v S1>on the cusp. It might even technically be a lesson

0:12:17.309 --> 0:12:19.619
<v S1>in May, but I'm gonna give it to April. I

0:12:19.620 --> 0:12:23.040
<v S1>think it goes on May 1st. And we were talking

0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:29.069
<v S1>about our muscle building goals. Both of us work out

0:12:29.070 --> 0:12:31.800
<v S1>in the gym five days a week, 5 to 6

0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:36.550
<v S1>days a week, lifting weights to gain muscle. We. Eat

0:12:36.550 --> 0:12:39.910
<v S1>a ridiculous amount of protein. And these changes have been

0:12:39.910 --> 0:12:44.230
<v S1>like slow over the last, I would say, year. But

0:12:44.230 --> 0:12:46.960
<v S1>we've really gotten more intense and more serious about it

0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:50.530
<v S1>in the last six months. And so we're kind of

0:12:50.530 --> 0:12:52.900
<v S1>buddies on this. We hold each other accountable. We go

0:12:52.900 --> 0:12:55.510
<v S1>to the gym together, we talk about what food we're

0:12:55.510 --> 0:12:58.600
<v S1>eating and what's helping us, what's not helping us, etcetera.

0:12:59.020 --> 0:13:01.929
<v S1>And so I asked him this question. I said, how

0:13:01.929 --> 0:13:03.910
<v S1>long do you think it's going to take you to

0:13:03.910 --> 0:13:08.620
<v S1>get to your ideal body? And his response blew my

0:13:08.620 --> 0:13:12.819
<v S1>freaking mind. He said, If I'm consistent with what I'm

0:13:12.820 --> 0:13:14.679
<v S1>doing right now, I think it's going to take me

0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:23.829
<v S1>five years. And like, I gasped. It's like, what, five years?

0:13:23.830 --> 0:13:26.200
<v S1>Why do you think it's going to take you five years?

0:13:27.309 --> 0:13:30.010
<v S1>And he proceeded to explain, you know, the science behind

0:13:30.010 --> 0:13:32.949
<v S1>it and looking at other people's results and what their

0:13:32.950 --> 0:13:35.770
<v S1>trajectory has been. And in order to build the amount

0:13:35.860 --> 0:13:38.740
<v S1>of muscle, it's not something that happens in six months.

0:13:38.740 --> 0:13:42.880
<v S1>It happens over years of being really consistent doing the

0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:46.380
<v S1>work that he's doing. And all of a sudden, as

0:13:46.380 --> 0:13:49.920
<v S1>soon as he said five years, it blew this thing

0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:53.430
<v S1>for me. That I've held on to since I was

0:13:53.550 --> 0:13:57.870
<v S1>ten years old that I've believed in, which is if

0:13:57.870 --> 0:14:00.600
<v S1>I just go on some crash diet, I can have

0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:04.949
<v S1>whatever body I want in 30 days. Like it's always

0:14:04.950 --> 0:14:08.340
<v S1>a 30 day target. And the reality is I've never

0:14:08.340 --> 0:14:13.170
<v S1>successfully gotten to where I've wanted in 30 days. But still,

0:14:13.170 --> 0:14:16.679
<v S1>in my mind, it's a 30 day thing. And what

0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:22.740
<v S1>he said, five years, it actually just like settled me into, okay,

0:14:22.740 --> 0:14:25.530
<v S1>I could be consistent with this for five years. Like

0:14:25.530 --> 0:14:30.960
<v S1>it just like a mindset shift from months to years.

0:14:31.110 --> 0:14:36.240
<v S1>And now what? I'm making choices. Granted, it's been five days,

0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:39.420
<v S1>but like, stick with me on this. It just doesn't

0:14:39.420 --> 0:14:43.320
<v S1>feel like I'm depriving myself for a short period of

0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:46.620
<v S1>time to get some short term goal. It it's changed

0:14:46.620 --> 0:14:50.130
<v S1>my mindset to a lifestyle, and I couldn't have thought

0:14:50.130 --> 0:14:53.310
<v S1>with five years, six months ago, a year ago, because

0:14:53.310 --> 0:14:56.670
<v S1>it sounds daunting and it feels really hard and like

0:14:56.670 --> 0:14:58.590
<v S1>you want a quick fix and a solution, so then

0:14:58.590 --> 0:15:01.260
<v S1>you get some wins. But now I'm at a place

0:15:01.260 --> 0:15:03.479
<v S1>where this behavior has been consistent enough, and so I

0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:05.310
<v S1>can look at five years and say, okay, when I'm

0:15:05.310 --> 0:15:08.130
<v S1>35 years old, I can see that it the result

0:15:08.130 --> 0:15:14.160
<v S1>is going to be this. And it just like in everything.

0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:15.600
<v S1>What if you knew was going to take five years?

0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:17.640
<v S1>What would you be willing to put the work in?

0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:20.910
<v S1>I apply that so much to business, to public speaking,

0:15:20.910 --> 0:15:25.920
<v S1>to operating our organizations, to leading teams. Like it's not

0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:28.890
<v S1>something that just happens. You can't just show up every

0:15:28.890 --> 0:15:31.470
<v S1>day for a week and expect that your business is

0:15:31.470 --> 0:15:34.590
<v S1>going to grow like it is. Consistency over a long

0:15:34.590 --> 0:15:37.260
<v S1>period of time with your clients, with your team members,

0:15:37.260 --> 0:15:41.190
<v S1>growing social platforms, that creates the growth. But I'd never

0:15:41.190 --> 0:15:45.510
<v S1>applied that principle to another area of my life and

0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:48.390
<v S1>now that I've applied it, I'm like, Wow, this is

0:15:48.630 --> 0:15:51.660
<v S1>it's actually inspiring to know that it's five years because

0:15:51.660 --> 0:15:54.390
<v S1>then you're not upset that it hasn't happened right now,

0:15:54.390 --> 0:15:56.670
<v S1>but you're still putting the work in right now. So

0:15:56.670 --> 0:15:59.010
<v S1>if any of you are frustrated that you're putting the

0:15:59.010 --> 0:16:02.550
<v S1>work in right now and it's not leading to where

0:16:02.550 --> 0:16:06.479
<v S1>you want, it's okay. It will eventually. If you don't

0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:08.610
<v S1>give up, it will eventually get you to where you

0:16:08.610 --> 0:16:13.200
<v S1>want to go. You just can't give up. And I

0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:15.600
<v S1>think about this with the team that I'm leading right now.

0:16:16.290 --> 0:16:20.460
<v S1>There's some new team members, there's some new dynamics, there's

0:16:20.460 --> 0:16:23.880
<v S1>new things going on that I don't operate the same

0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:28.170
<v S1>way that I used to, and they don't know. How

0:16:28.170 --> 0:16:30.690
<v S1>I run things. Yet they're just getting used to me

0:16:30.690 --> 0:16:35.160
<v S1>as well. The whole. Whole division's whole department's whole companies.

0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:37.500
<v S1>And what I know is I'm in this for the

0:16:37.500 --> 0:16:41.190
<v S1>long haul. It's not some short thing. And when the

0:16:41.190 --> 0:16:45.450
<v S1>long haul happens and they see the consistency of the

0:16:45.450 --> 0:16:49.950
<v S1>daily team meetings and the personal professional financial goal conversations

0:16:49.950 --> 0:16:53.280
<v S1>and the one on ones and the metrics and how

0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:55.739
<v S1>we on board, like when all those pieces that we

0:16:55.740 --> 0:17:00.210
<v S1>go through are tied together and I'm consistent with it,

0:17:00.210 --> 0:17:03.740
<v S1>I know we'll win. I have full confidence that we

0:17:03.740 --> 0:17:05.930
<v S1>will win because we will continue to attract the right

0:17:05.930 --> 0:17:09.649
<v S1>people who are interested in the long run of changing

0:17:09.650 --> 0:17:12.080
<v S1>their lives. It's not like somebody comes into our environment

0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:15.679
<v S1>and gets ten Xed overnight and within two weeks their

0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:19.920
<v S1>whole lives changed and it was just such a magical experience.

0:17:19.940 --> 0:17:24.830
<v S1>It takes time to build the confidence and the consistency

0:17:24.830 --> 0:17:29.510
<v S1>is actually what creates the confidence. And speaking of, you know,

0:17:29.510 --> 0:17:33.320
<v S1>one on one onboarding, all of that fun stuff, I

0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:37.850
<v S1>know I have a People Essentials workshop coming up here

0:17:37.850 --> 0:17:43.460
<v S1>in June. It's it's our most popular course. It sells

0:17:43.460 --> 0:17:47.150
<v S1>out the fastest. Last time we had standing room only

0:17:47.150 --> 0:17:51.080
<v S1>and actually had to move venues because the event was

0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:55.130
<v S1>so oversold. So if you are trying to figure out

0:17:55.130 --> 0:17:58.040
<v S1>this whole team thing, this team engagement thing, how you

0:17:58.040 --> 0:18:02.200
<v S1>build a sustainable culture and a business that. The team

0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:06.730
<v S1>runs when the organization runs with a high performing team

0:18:06.730 --> 0:18:09.939
<v S1>when you're not even there. Highly recommend you check out

0:18:09.940 --> 0:18:16.120
<v S1>People essentials. You can go to coronavirus.com/people to get your

0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:18.640
<v S1>tickets and sign up and I do it real fast

0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:21.190
<v S1>because it's not going to be available for too long

0:18:21.700 --> 0:18:25.810
<v S1>with that appreciate you making a fantastic may or whatever

0:18:25.810 --> 0:18:28.840
<v S1>month it is that you are listening to this and

0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:33.220
<v S1>looking forward to hanging with you next time on Building Billions.

0:18:33.220 --> 0:18:37.899
<v S1>Don't forget to share this episode. If this helped you

0:18:37.900 --> 0:18:40.660
<v S1>in any way, it would mean the world to me.

0:18:40.660 --> 0:18:43.630
<v S1>If you share this so that the show can grow

0:18:43.630 --> 0:18:45.909
<v S1>and so that other people can be impacted and learn

0:18:45.910 --> 0:18:49.450
<v S1>these lessons from what we're learning as we're building this

0:18:49.450 --> 0:18:50.560
<v S1>billion dollar business.
