1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:03,559
Speaker 1: What if I told you there was more to the

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 1: story behind game changing events. Get ready for my new podcast,

3
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:12,719
Speaker 1: That Moment with Damon John will jump into the personal

4
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 1: stories of some of the most influential people on the planet,

5
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: from business moguls and celebrities to athletes and artists. I

6
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 1: love that moment because it gives me such an amazing

7
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: chance to connect people with some of the world's most

8
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: influential people and aspiring people and game changing people who

9
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: have stories and insights. And some of you know these people,

10
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: and some of you have never heard these people. But

11
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you something. When I talk to them,

12
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: they always take me back to a moment in my

13
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 1: life where I reflect on who I am today. And

14
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean it was a good moment, could be

15
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: a bad moment and mistakes I made, And it's always

16
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: that moment I share with them that make me a

17
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: better person. And I hope it does the same for

18
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: you because I'd be getting such great feedback. So what

19
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: did I do. I decided to take this moment to

20
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: share my knowledge of personal stories that I've had and

21
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: the way that I think about things. That doesn't mean

22
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: it's the right way, but hopefully you will take this

23
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: information that I will give by answering these amazing questions

24
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: and apply it to your life, or double check and

25
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: see if it's something you should apply, or maybe towss

26
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: it because you're already doing great. But no matter what,

27
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to spend this moment answering some amazing questions.

28
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: I posted that I was ready to answer some questions

29
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: on my Ambassador group recently, asking what do you want

30
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 1: to know about? What can I tell you about? And

31
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: I'm pulling some of these amazing questions and giving my

32
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: honest feedbacks and thoughts that you can reference during those

33
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: pivotal moments that you face. Let's get into it, Angela Gray,

34
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: What is the difference between being a business owner and

35
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: being an entrepreneur? Really great question. I think a business

36
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: owner is somebody who owns a business, a very specific business,

37
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: you know. Now, I don't know if there is the

38
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: right answers. I'm answering these the off my top of

39
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: my head. I am not cheating and pulling it up

40
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:18,119
Speaker 1: on Google. My understanding of business owner and an entrepreneur

41
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: is somebody, or my belief is somebody. A business owner

42
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: is like, Hey, I own a business and I specialize

43
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: in this business. The business could be I'm in the

44
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: business of selling cars, I am in the business of

45
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: a bakery. An entrepreneur is somebody who's a serial business person,

46
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: as far as I understand, because if you were to

47
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: talk to a baker who is an entrepreneur, they say, yeah,

48
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: I'm an entrepreneur, but they would say, and I have

49
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 1: a couple of businesses. You know, I have a great bakery.

50
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,519
Speaker 1: I think that money and then I go and put

51
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: it into one or two or three other investments real

52
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: estate over here, and I have a And an entrepreneur

53
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: really thinks about ways to kind of circle the castle

54
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: with a great moat, really putting that core business in

55
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: and trying a bunch of other ones that hopefully can

56
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: enhance that business or grow and diversify their portfolio. But

57
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: they're very, very close in reference, because a really smart

58
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: business owner may say, yeah, I have a bakery, but

59
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: guess what else I do. I bought the building that

60
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: my bakery's in, and I also decided to franchise my bakery.

61
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: And I decided that every place that I franchised in,

62
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: once they find the key or great building, I will

63
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: also tell them for the franchise fees. You, I don't know,

64
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: give me a portion of the building, and then I'm

65
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: going to take all that money. I'm going to look

66
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: at how to do a delivery of my baked goods

67
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: to stores. So it's kind of like a business person

68
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: who is taking advantage of all the opportunity within that lane.

69
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: So it's in between both. One is somebody who probably

70
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: specializes in one business and tries to expand it to

71
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,359
Speaker 1: the extent that it can go. And you may say, well,

72
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: that person's small minded. But I don't know if you

73
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: would call Bill Gates small minded he specialized in computers, right,

74
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 1: or Steve Jobs who specialized in computers, but also an entrepreneur,

75
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: somebody who may be in a whole lot of different

76
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: areas and everything is attractive to an entrepreneur. There you

77
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: have it. The next question is Tom Handy, how did

78
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 1: you reinvent yourself during post COVID after you released your

79
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,799
Speaker 1: last book? Really great question, How did I reinvent myself?

80
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,119
Speaker 1: I took inventory like I always do every three months,

81
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: six months, one year, five years, ten years. I reflect

82
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: and turn back and say what am I doing today

83
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 1: that I wasn't doing yesterday? And what am I doing

84
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: today that I can't stand to do? And what would

85
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: I like to do tomorrow? And who do I have

86
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: around me that's going to help me accomplish those goals?

87
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: And who do I have around me that is holding

88
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 1: me back from those goals? What am I not doing

89
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 1: for myself personally? Before I start pointing the fingers at

90
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: everybody else? What have I done lately for myself? Not

91
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: of what you've done lately for me? What have I

92
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 1: done lately for myself? Am I reading enough? Am I

93
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: calling the people that matter? Enough? Am I saying thank you? Enough?

94
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: Am I highlighting my mistakes and being honest about my shortcomings?

95
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: And after I do that, am I improving on those showcomings?

96
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: Or am I saying to people which is no problem? Hey,

97
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: this one's never going to change. Sorry, I just know myself.

98
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: So it's I think that what have I done after that? Is?

99
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: This is something that I've always done. You know, my

100
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: buddy Shambola says, build a umbrella when it's sunny outside.

101
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 1: And I've always invested in knowledge, and invested in looking

102
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: at my shortcomings and invested in being really brutally honest

103
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: with myself and other people around me every I would

104
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: say every year to three years. And that's what I've done.

105
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: So let's talk about after COVID to give you an

106
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 1: exact answer. I realized that throughout the setting up my

107
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: goals that with COVID, we're all home, and I increased

108
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: my drinking. I increased my drinking because I'm home. It's

109
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: being done socially normally, but now it's just straight drinking

110
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 1: at home. Am I? Am? I? Am I realizing that?

111
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: Am I saying that I had a problem. No, But

112
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: I'm a very strong willed person, and one thing is

113
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: a habit. But when I turn around and be like,

114
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: wait a minute, I have been drinking and saying that

115
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: I'm going to slow it down for two years, but

116
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: I haven't. So the habit is becoming a stronger habit.

117
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: Oh something that there's no advantage. I saw to say,

118
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: what is the inventory of drinking? Wait a minute, every

119
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: seventy every every every every seventy five or every shot

120
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: at around seventy five calories and that also shuts down

121
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: your metabolism for about an hour. So now they're empty

122
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: calories going into my body. If I'm drinking, you know,

123
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: two or three doubles that's a that's five hundred calories

124
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: going into my body. Okay, well, why am I doing well?

125
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: I want to relax right because I have a long day.

126
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: But what if I spent that same time working out,

127
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: I would get the same relaxation. But it was strengthening

128
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: my muscles, which my muscles attached to my bone. If

129
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: you have more muscle, it will eat more fat, it

130
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: will eat more of the bad things in your body.

131
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: So why don't I just switch that? Wait a minute,

132
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: I'm going to sleep later and I'm waking up later.

133
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: Oh and when I wake up in the morning, I

134
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: want me an egg and cheese with ham on it

135
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: and bacon. Right. Well, now I'm increasing my calorie intake

136
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 1: right all because And by the way, I'm not going

137
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: to the gym because I'm tired and I'm a really

138
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: busy person. So if I'm more already waking up, and

139
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 1: I have nine hundred thousand emails and I'm going to

140
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: go right to those. So if I stop drinking, here's

141
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 1: what happens. Five hundred calories are not no longer an

142
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: empty calories no longer in my body. I go to

143
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: bed sooner I probably work out, So that makes me tired.

144
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: I wake up earlier in the morning. My adrenaline is running,

145
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: so I don't take in a bacon and egg and

146
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: cheese sand I get to work earlier. My mind starts

147
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: to think and function better. I have more energy. I

148
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: become more proficient immediately after I start stopped drinking. Now,

149
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: a lot of you will say, well, why don't you

150
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: drink every other day? I was drinking every day. I tried.

151
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: Every other drink is water? Every other drink? Is this?

152
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: Every other drink? Is that? Maybe on saturdays, maybe on weekends. No,

153
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: just didn't work. So I stopped. And what happened? I

154
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: dropped forty pounds naturally six months no trainer. There you

155
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: have it. That's what I did after call. All right,

156
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I cone when you we have no support,

157
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:08,839
Speaker 1: how do you take yourself to the next level in business?

158
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: I don't know who does have support. Support is something

159
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: that comes to you because you've attracted it to you.

160
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: I know that sounds really weird. You're like, well, there's

161
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: a lot of wealthy kids that have grown up in

162
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: great families and they have support. Yeah, there's a lot

163
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: of wealthy kids also that were given everything in life

164
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: and it made them the poorest person in the world,

165
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: and they thought that everything was going to be given

166
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: to them. And maybe they're trust fund kids and they're

167
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,559
Speaker 1: you know, not living the life that their parents and

168
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: grandparents hope they would because they got it given to

169
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: them too easily. Maybe there are kids who grew up

170
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: in a household with hard, hard working adults who came

171
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 1: over here on I don't know, both planes and whatever

172
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 1: and busted their butt and was the first generation to

173
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: ever go to college. And these kids are running around

174
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: the streets thinking everybody owes them and dancing and singing

175
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: on social media and thinking that that's what they're going

176
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: to be. And guess what, maybe they become a star.

177
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: Maybe they're not. So you know, support really happens. It's

178
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: like it's support is something that's infectious. Almost Support is

179
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 1: support is it's a wall. It's a wall that won't

180
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: break down until it knows you not going away. Support

181
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 1: is a wall of people going. Your teachers going yeah,

182
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: it's a great kid. He's cool, she's cool, and then

183
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: they're like, no, this kid is showing some real talent.

184
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 1: This kid is a superstar. You know. So support is people,

185
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: And I think the question you want to ask is

186
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: how do you and how to attract the support you

187
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: need if you're not getting it at home. Because whatever

188
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,719
Speaker 1: the case is, your parents love you to death, but

189
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: they truly grew up believing that you will only be

190
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: successful if you are a lawyer and a doctor and

191
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: you went to school. That they love your death, but

192
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: that's the generation they grew up in, and they will

193
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: not support your dream of being an entrepreneur or being

194
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: a dancer on TikTok. Well, then you got to go

195
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: find somebody who's gonna support that dream. Now, it doesn't

196
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: mean that your parents are wrong, and it doesn't mean

197
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: that you're wrong. It means that you need to find

198
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: some way to support that dream. And where you're going

199
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: to find the dancers on TikTok Probably on TikTok, right,

200
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: where you're going to find the business owners that you need. Well,

201
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: maybe you need to intern for a business owner, or

202
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: you need to work a minimum wage for a business owner,

203
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: or maybe you need to volunteer at an organization that

204
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: is the chamber of commerce that supports business. But you

205
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,199
Speaker 1: need to find out where can you attract people to say, goddamn,

206
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: that's a superstar and I want to support that person

207
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 1: because somehow you supported them first. Jennifer Brown, where do

208
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: you focus your budget and your effort in the first

209
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 1: six months of being in a business? Really excellent question.

210
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: So focusing on budget on being in a business is

211
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: really really great. Right. So your budget is your time,

212
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: your energy, your effort, your friends. That is your budget.

213
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: You see, money can be one thousand dollars, right that

214
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: you have to start a business. But if you have

215
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars, Oh wait a minute, you have ten

216
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: thousand people that follow you on social media? Now is

217
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: which what is worth more? The one thousand dollars of

218
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: the ten thousand people that you can ask for a

219
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: dollar or ask to share your business. So inventory of

220
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: what you're assets are. Remember what OPM is my amazing

221
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: mentor told me OPM with other people's mind power, manufacturing, marketing, mentorship, mistakes,

222
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 1: whatever the case is. So what you do when you

223
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 1: have a business's you take inventory. You see, business owners

224
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: do the best they can do for their customer every

225
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: single day. Now, what was my first inventory? The fact

226
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: that I had a phone available to me and I

227
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: can make fifty calls a day. That's what I focused

228
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: on and when I focus on the fifty calls a day.

229
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: Out of the fifty calls, ten were focused on finding

230
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: a manufacturer that can help me either get shirts quicker

231
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: or at a cheaper price, or whatever it is right,

232
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: calling up also stores that were interested in taking Intually,

233
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: those are two separate focuses. The next one was calling

234
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: up wrappers record labels to find out where video sets

235
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: were happening so I can go to the video set right.

236
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: The next one was whatever it was I forgot. I

237
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: think it was a I think it was calling up

238
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: people who will in the volunteer or work with me,

239
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: or designers. So it's really about what you have. If

240
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: you are selling a new book, you may say, what

241
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: is my budget? Well, if you get paid? An argument say,

242
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: if you get paid two hundred day dollars a day

243
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: for work and you work five days a week, or

244
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: what is your budget? Can you work on the two

245
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: days of you're off? Are you taking a day off

246
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: a week that you're working, Because at that point, if

247
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: you're taking a day off of a week that you're working,

248
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: you make five you make two hundred dollars a day,

249
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: Well times that by four fridays that you took off,

250
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: you just spent eight hundred dollars in a month, So

251
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: you have to really look at everything. Money is not

252
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: just clearly what you lay out is money is what

253
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: it costs you time, energy calls? Are you going to

254
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: DM two hundred people a day? That's what you have

255
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: to focus on. What do you have and what do

256
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: you have to spend and what length of time? As

257
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: we call it. If you're looking about little literally money

258
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: cash to death, how much time can you invest in

259
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: this company two months, six months a year? And what

260
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: will you do if you get someplace, maybe double that time?

261
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: What will you do if you don't anywhere? Will you

262
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: reduce that time? It is what you have the power

263
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: of doing it, doing it with. And when I realized

264
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: that I can make fifty calls a day, it was

265
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: that moment in my life that I realized I was

266
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: willing to put that in for six months. And after

267
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: that six months, when those fifty calls a day got

268
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: me someplace, it was that moment I turned it up

269
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: to seventy five, and so on and so on and

270
00:16:42,040 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: so on so on. Niko let Brown, how did you

271
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: build structure in your team in the very beginning when

272
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: it was time to scale up. Really great question. I'm

273
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: redoing it now. I think we all are because of

274
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 1: the working remotely AI, new talent, old talent, all of

275
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: us are facing it right, what's going on with distribution

276
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: and shipping and finance, you know. So when I think

277
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 1: it was time for me to scale, I was fortunate

278
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: enough to. I think all of us are fortunate enough

279
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: to have mentors sometime in our lives. And when I

280
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: decided it was time to scale, it was when I

281
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 1: first had done my deal and I started to work

282
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 1: with the people who became my partners, Norman and Bruce

283
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: weis Felt who became the partners of me, Keith Carlin

284
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: j and we looked at scaling and we said, well,

285
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: first of all, let's have goals. Right, we want to ship.

286
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: We were at seven hun hundred and fifty thousand, let's say,

287
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: dollars worth of shipping a month. Well, the goal was

288
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 1: to get to a million a month. How are we

289
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: going to get to that goal of a million a month? Well,

290
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: remember the formation of business, there's only two ways you

291
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,239
Speaker 1: increase sales that you reduce costs. So how can we

292
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 1: get to that million dollars a month? Well, we're already

293
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 1: spending let's say thirty thousand dollars a month. Well, if

294
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 1: you look at thirty thousand dollars a month time twelve,

295
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: that's three hundred and sixty thousand dollars. Can we hire

296
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 1: internally a public relations person at seventy thousand dollars? Now

297
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: we have two hundred and ninety to spend on advertising

298
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:42,479
Speaker 1: and marketing, but the public relations person at seventy thousand

299
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,919
Speaker 1: a month can get us into ten or twenty or

300
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: fifty magazines and videos. Well, what did we do? We

301
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: reduced our costs of advertising and marketing because we ended

302
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: up now having to spend half of it, and we

303
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: got twice as much. And what happened with twice as

304
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: much it converted into more sales and took us to

305
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 1: a million dollars. So the basic way to do it

306
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: is you start to silo the people that you need. Normally,

307
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:16,640
Speaker 1: people say the first two department heads you need are

308
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 1: number one sales and number two more of a COO

309
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 1: a finance person, because see, the salespeople will hopefully go

310
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: out there. Hopefully many of them are more commission based,

311
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: so they're not as much of a layout of cash.

312
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: They take the business up and they increase the sales. Now,

313
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,679
Speaker 1: there's many companies that run on a negative. They have

314
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: a bunch of sales, but they're not looking at the numbers.

315
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 1: Their customer acquisition costs is more than needed. Their goods

316
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: are costing more than needed. In my business, well, if

317
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: you design this stuff in time and you ship it

318
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: in ninety days, you get this stuff. But all of

319
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 1: a sudden, And if you are designing late and you

320
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 1: need to get it in because back to school, you

321
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 1: need the goods in the stores August first, and you

322
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 1: are not ninety days ahead of time, you got to

323
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: air it in. Well, let's say you had a million pieces,

324
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 1: and to air it in of course an extra dollar.

325
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: That's an extra million dollars, extra million dollars. Let's say

326
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: you're running on a twenty percent margin. Well, you have

327
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 1: to do five million dollars in sales just to break

328
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: even on the extra million dollars that you just spent.

329
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: But if you have a COO slash finance person, they

330
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 1: go wait a minute. Salespeople, either you slow down because

331
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: we can't get the goods in time, or hey design,

332
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: hey manufacturing, hay shipping, you better hurry up. You got

333
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: to understand when you're thinking about business, it's not always

334
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: how much sales, it's how much can we say because

335
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,199
Speaker 1: sometimes people are just treading water. So that's what you do.

336
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: To scale. You make sure you put people in very

337
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 1: specific department that overlook what they do. Because remember, there

338
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 1: is only two ways to operate a business. You increase sales,

339
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: you reduce costs. John Wurs, reflecting on the challenges you

340
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: overcame at the beginning of your journey, what would you

341
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: advise an upcoming entrepreneur to do differently? Study finance, Understand

342
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: how money works, and understand that there is no one

343
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: answer to it. What the tax codes are that will

344
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: allow you to do today will change tomorrow. The interest

345
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 1: rates today will change tomorrow. The cost of goods in

346
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 1: one country if we happen to either go to war

347
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 1: or there's a shortage, that will change tomorrow. Employment contracts

348
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 1: and the type of people you can employ or softwares

349
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: will change. And what has to happen is the numbers

350
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: always changed. You will get tax incentives, you will get

351
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 1: penalized for it. So it is extremely important to understand finances.

352
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: And the good thing about this is your business may fail,

353
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: but your financial intelligence or wellness will keep running. So

354
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 1: if you are just balancing the let's say I'm dating

355
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: myself the check book at home, or you're deciding, I'm

356
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: going to go get a regular job, and guess what

357
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 1: this understanding of finance. I'm going to invest in these

358
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: public companies, put in one hundred dollars two hundred and

359
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 1: seven hundred, five thousand dollars a month, and I'm going

360
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: to do my regular job, but what I like to do,

361
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 1: and I'm going to turn around in thirty years and

362
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: I'm going to have enough money because I understand finance

363
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: and wellness. And I'm also going to have an estate

364
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,400
Speaker 1: planning person to make sure that one I passed, that

365
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: my family gets everything they need and the government is

366
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: taken care of. Oh wait a minute, Wait a minute.

367
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: What if I had two million dollars in the bank

368
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: and my beautiful mother and dad they're not doing really well.

369
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: But I need to get an insurance policy now where

370
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: it's two hundred dollars a month, and that by the

371
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: time if they do end up needing to be put

372
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: in a place where they need care, it's gonna be

373
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: twenty thousand dollars a month. And I had two million

374
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: dollars in the bank and that all got eaten up

375
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 1: in three years. Oh, I have financial wellness, and now

376
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: at forty years old, I bought a policy for them

377
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: that protected them and me. It's all about financial wellness.

378
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: Abdullah Naim. How do you keep balance between growing business

379
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:27,439
Speaker 1: and not over hiring for a startup? Excellent? You read

380
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: the book call Power Broke and that is very important,

381
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 1: or the lean Startup. I forgot who wrote that, because

382
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: you always have to look at your numbers and act

383
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: like you are broke. You see, money will often highlight

384
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 1: your weaknesses. And yes, I don't want to say to

385
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 1: be the cheapest person in history, and sometimes you do

386
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: want to spur and say, instead of hodgepodging this, I

387
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 1: need an expert to look at this well. Try to date,

388
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: Try to get people who will work for three months.

389
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: Try to get fractional CFOs, fractional CEOs, fractional, this fractional that.

390
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 1: Don't jump into anything. Keep testing, kissing a lot of frogs.

391
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 1: You will find your prince or princess. All right, let

392
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 1: me close out with some fun ones. Kevin, Oh, Kevin Cocaine,

393
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: that's my man from Texas. Really amazing, amazing ambassador for

394
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: the Shark Group. And damon John, you're at Golden Corral?

395
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 1: What three foods are you putting on your plate? First,

396
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: that's a tough one when you navigate a buffet. I

397
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: want to tell you the secrets of navigating a buffet.

398
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 1: Number One, cruise the buffet. You hit all the You

399
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: negotiate all the corners. You make sure the chocolate fountain

400
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: is great. You understand the desserts. You see the special

401
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: of the day, because it could be steak, it could

402
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 1: be fishy, it could be chicken. You then look at

403
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 1: all the foods and the meats and see how old

404
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: they are. Do they got that nasty layer that you

405
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: gotta scrape off to get into them? The sweet part

406
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: of the mashed potato. There's a lot of fries, a

407
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: lot of flies around it. The chicken look really dirty

408
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: and burns in the edges. And then you start to

409
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: time yourself because you got to hit the salad bar fers.

410
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: You want to fill up full of you know, greens. Now,

411
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 1: what are you gonna put on the salad? Do you

412
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: go over to the bourbon chicken that's just a little

413
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:42,919
Speaker 1: bit and you put that just on top and just

414
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,199
Speaker 1: sizzle it. So what happens you time yourself because all

415
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: of a sudden, what if you were gonna hit the

416
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: salad but the chicken just dropped. Well, you know, the

417
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 1: chicken's not gonna turn it. What depends on what time

418
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:58,160
Speaker 1: it is. So bottom line is it's all about timing

419
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 1: in a buffet. In a buffet, don't ask any more

420
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:08,360
Speaker 1: stupid questions. All right, we're going to rowe LEVI are

421
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:12,360
Speaker 1: you a car person. If so, what's your favorite car

422
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 1: that you have? Glad you asked. I just happened to

423
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: buy something for the end of the world. It's called

424
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: a Resvanni tank. You can take a three eighty bullet.

425
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: It also has a pepper spray right by the right

426
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: by the rear view mirror. So if I'm just pulling

427
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: up to the shark tank set and Barbara and Kevin

428
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: run out to the car and just try to just

429
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 1: you know, kiss me and just you know, just just

430
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 1: just touch my clothing like Theyugh, so just I got

431
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 1: electric doors to shock people as well. Uh, in case

432
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:49,199
Speaker 1: you try to go up and grab the handle. That

433
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 1: is my favorite car. It's a Resvanni tank. There, Yeah,

434

Speaker 1: thank you so much. All of the listeners and all

435
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 1: of the people who have submitted questions, these are actually

436
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: really tough questions. A lot one of those questions I

437
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 1: don't really necessarily have the answer for them because I

438
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 1: can only tell you what I have experienced in my life. Remember,

439
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: I've always learned that that moment is the moment that

440
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,199
Speaker 1: you do your homework on what anybody or everybody tells you.

441
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 1: The only thing that is more important than the information

442
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,640
Speaker 1: you're getting it from is the person the source you're

443
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: getting it from, and make sure you check two and three,

444
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: and four and five sources. I want to definitely give

445
