So I'm gonna say that one 56 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 3: more time for the folks in the back so they 57 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 3: understand where we are going with this conversation.

When you hear your 60 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 3: words reflected back to you, what comes up? 61 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 5: Damn right? Yes, that's right, that is right. You know 62 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 5: that is the truth. 63 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 2: And I've watched it happen, not just for myself, but 64 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 2: so many of my clients and members of my community. 65 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 2: So I think we just choose to believe things that 66 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 2: are not empowering. We have disempowering thoughts which lead to 67 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 2: disempowering actions and lead to disempowering results, you know. And 68 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 2: it makes sense because of the world that we live in. 69 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 2: But we are in charge of what's in here. We 70 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 2: have to change that first, and we shift that, then 71 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,840 Speaker 2: everything else shifts as well. So everything is available to us, 72 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 2: Everything is possible to us, and we just have to 73 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 2: choose to go get it and believe that it is possible. 74 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 5: That's part of it, a huge part of it, the belief. 75 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,919 Speaker 1: Yes, we start this conversation off with the gyms, Rachel, 76 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: we appreciate it.

I got to see examples. 86 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 2: Of you know, we go to Queen Center Mall every 87 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 2: Saturday and my mom lets us eat get one thing right, 88 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 2: like that was what the good times, you know.

And then my parents got laid off and 92 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 2: then it was rough, you know, and I was like 93 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 2: hiding from my friends at the grocery store because I 94 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 2: didn't want them to know I was paying with food stamps. 95 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 2: And you know, there was a lot of financial struggle 96 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 2: and that lasted much longer than the good times, did 97 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 2: you know. And I also had you know, family members 98 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,479 Speaker 2: who were really struggling financially, and I had family members 99 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 2: who are well off, like my aunts and uncles and things. 100 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 2: And so I got to really see both, right, financial 101 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 2: wellness and you know, financial stress and worry and basically 102 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,239 Speaker 2: being broke right the result of poverty that can happen 103 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 2: like that the moment you lose a good job, right, 104 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 2: And so seeing both, I think just made it so 105 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 2: clear to me, like, oh, money is very important, Nope, 106 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 2: to self get money right, You're like, that's how I was. 107 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 2: That's where I was as a kid, right, like as 108 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 2: a young person, and I remember as a teenager, I 109 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 2: used to always ask people like how do you make money. 110 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 5: Or how do your parents make money? 111 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 2: Like if I found a person who had money and 112 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 2: be like, tell me about that, right, how do you 113 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 2: get that money? 114 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 5: Right? 115 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 2: Because I just wanted to know, Like, I know my 116 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 2: parents are working hard, So what's the difference to you know, 117 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 2: my parents are doing what your parents are doing. 118 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 5: Let's figure that out, you know. 119 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 2: So I really wanted to know, even as a kid, 120 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 2: and then I continued to be a broke student. I 121 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 2: went to law school because I really I liked the 122 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 2: idea of advocating for people. I used to watch crime 123 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 2: dramas with my mom and I'd be like, I want 124 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 2: to be that guy who's like, you know, standing out 125 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 2: for the little guy, right, the one standing up for 126 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 2: like the underdog, Right, That's who I wanted to be. 127 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 2: So I decided I was going to go to law 128 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 2: school to do that. And I knew just from my research, 129 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 2: right that like, you know, that lawyer's made money. So 130 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 2: I'm like check check, you know, And that was my plans. 131 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 2: I went to law school, graduated in the midst of 132 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 2: the two thousand and eight recession. Great timing, and it 133 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 2: was a blessing for me because otherwise I would have been, 134 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 2: you know, I would have gotten a job at a. 135 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 5: Firm, and I would have hated it because I'm. 136 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 2: Just not I'm not employable, you know. But I didn't 137 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 2: know this about myself yet, you know. So so I 138 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 2: graduated during the recession. 139 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 5: I had a clerkship with a judge. Was amazing. 140 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 2: He taught me so much about practicing law and just 141 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 2: I don't know, like how to good be good people, 142 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 2: you know what I mean, how to do good work. 143 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 4: Like. 144 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 2: He was just a good guy and I'm literally still 145 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 2: in touch with him today. So I did that clerkship 146 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 2: for a year, and the clerkship ends and they kick 147 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 2: you out because the next CLOrk is coming in. And 148 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 2: I was like, I don't have a job. I had 149 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 2: job offers, but I didn't want any of them. And 150 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 2: so I just decided, you know what, I'm going to 151 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 2: become an entrepreneur. So I started my own law practice. 152 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 2: I practiced law for about seven years, and then I 153 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 2: realized what I really wanted to do was work with entrepreneurs. 154 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 2: I discovered through running my business that I was good 155 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 2: at business. I was better at running the business that 156 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 2: I was at practicing law. 157 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 5: I was good at it. 158 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 2: Like I was. I did excellent work, but it was 159 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 2: not zone of genius. It was taxing to do that work, 160 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 2: whereas the work I do now is energizing, you know, 161 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 2: and that is just such a game changer when you're 162 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 2: energized by your work versus depleted. And so I started, 163 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 2: you know, my coaching practice, which is what Hello seven 164 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,119 Speaker 2: is today. So when I started, I had no idea 165 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 2: it was going to become this massive eight figure business. 166 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 2: I just kept going and it just kept growing. So 167 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 2: and it's still growing today. So blessings. 168 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 3: Oh yes, okay, there were so okay, so many questions 169 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 3: came up as you were sharing your origin story. So okay, 170 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 3: there's two things that I think would be helpful for 171 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 3: us to touch on.

So okay, you shared a store in 667 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 1: your book that I think many people can relate to, 668 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 1: and when I read this, I was just like, wow, 669 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 1: this is so deep. So you shared that you had 670 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 1: three hundred thirty thousand dollars in student loan debt while 671 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 1: you were earning forty one thousand dollars a year after 672 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 1: law school. And so instead of shrinking because of this debt, 673 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,040 Speaker 1: right you faced it head on. And I want to 674 00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 1: know what gave you the courage to do that. But 675 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,080 Speaker 1: also you have an activity in your book that was 676 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 1: like mind blowing to me where you talked about identifying 677 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 1: positive aspects that your debt brought you and not having shame. 678 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,720 Speaker 1: You can talk about debt, Can we talk about how 679 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 1: to pay it off? And just reframing the debt that 680 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 1: we have? Yes, well, because I. 681 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 2: Think it can be debilitating, right, And I feel like 682 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:47,080 Speaker 2: society wants us to believe that, like where the devil 683 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 2: because we have debt? Right, Like we're the worst person 684 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,600 Speaker 2: in the world, were terrible with money, all of these things. 685 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:53,160 Speaker 5: And I'm like, everybody has debt. 686 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 2: America has debt, great countries have debt, towns have debt, right, 687 00:32:58,120 --> 00:32:59,680 Speaker 2: businesses have debt. 688 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 5: Rich people have debt, right, And so like debt is 689 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 5: a part of life. 690 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,560 Speaker 2: So this idea that like debt is the worst thing 691 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 2: in the world, and if you have debt, it's over 692 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 2: for you. 693 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:11,680 Speaker 5: You know, it's like the drama of it. It's like 694 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 5: can we stop? Can we cut that out? Right? That 695 00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:15,080 Speaker 5: is not the truth of it. 696 00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,520 Speaker 2: And if you think about debt, right, like my three 697 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 2: hundred and thirty thousand dollars in student loans, that that 698 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 2: money was money that represents me investing in myself, which 699 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:24,800 Speaker 2: is a good thing. 700 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:25,360 Speaker 5: Right. 701 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 2: I invested in my education and I was willing to 702 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 2: take a risk and you know, go spend a lot 703 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,440 Speaker 2: of money right that I would owe later to be 704 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,520 Speaker 2: able to get an education and create a career that 705 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 2: I was successful with. And that career got me here 706 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,720 Speaker 2: where my company makes eight figures a year. 707 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:45,080 Speaker 5: I think it was a good investment. 708 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 2: Okay, So that three hundred and thirty thousand dollars and 709 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,040 Speaker 2: debt has earned me literally tens of millions of dollars, 710 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 2: right because I learned how to write well in law school, 711 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:56,360 Speaker 2: I learned how to speak well in law school. 712 00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 5: I learned how to think strategically in law school. 713 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:02,960 Speaker 2: That was money well spent, right, And and I basically 714 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:03,360 Speaker 2: what you. 715 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:04,440 Speaker 5: Have to do is just confront it. 716 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 2: Like, So what I did was I literally created a 717 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,800 Speaker 2: spreadsheet and I just put every single debt that I had. 718 00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,920 Speaker 2: I put you know, what's the monthly payment, what it 719 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:14,840 Speaker 2: would take to pay it off, who was it owed to? 720 00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,319 Speaker 2: All the dates, right, I just put everything in there, 721 00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:19,120 Speaker 2: and then I just looked at it and I said, 722 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,239 Speaker 2: you know, I know there's multiple ways to pay off debt, 723 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,440 Speaker 2: but I did the version to just get some momentum, 724 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:25,319 Speaker 2: and I took the smallest ones and I paid them off, 725 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,319 Speaker 2: and it just gave me that satisfaction like, Okay, I 726 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 2: paid the smallest one off, it's gone next one, right, 727 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,879 Speaker 2: and so slowly but surely, you know, I started paying 728 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,800 Speaker 2: off my debt, and my earnings from running my business 729 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,520 Speaker 2: allowed me to pay all of that debt off actually 730 00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 2: relatively quickly. So if I would have been down in 731 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:45,719 Speaker 2: the dumps about it, you know, I might have taken 732 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,520 Speaker 2: whatever job and just been still sitting there with that debt. 733 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:50,920 Speaker 5: Or I can have an energy of that was a 734 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:52,759 Speaker 5: good investment now and what are we gonna do. 735 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:54,640 Speaker 2: We're gonna what are we gonna do to earn more 736 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,279 Speaker 2: so that we can then pay that off. But yes, 737 00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,919 Speaker 2: I think it's so important that people recognize, like when 738 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,319 Speaker 2: you take on debt sometimes it's like, Okay, I bought 739 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,480 Speaker 2: a cute outfit to go to a party with my friends, 740 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,600 Speaker 2: and I have amazing memories from that time. 741 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,120 Speaker 5: Awesome, right, like fantastic. 742 00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,440 Speaker 2: Now, you know, you don't want to pay all this 743 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,600 Speaker 2: interest or whatever on you know, your cat suit. 744 00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,359 Speaker 5: Rights in your rights party, you know what I mean. 745 00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,720 Speaker 2: So in the future, maybe you're going to do that differently, 746 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,400 Speaker 2: but like, hey, you have great memories from it, now, 747 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:24,759 Speaker 2: what do we need to do to pay it off? 748 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 5: Right? 749 00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,360 Speaker 2: Or you help somebody out right? Or you took a risk, 750 00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:32,279 Speaker 2: you bet on yourself, right. So debt often represents the 751 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:33,920 Speaker 2: things that we can, we spend money on, what we 752 00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,919 Speaker 2: care about, you know. And so I just I don't 753 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,919 Speaker 2: think there's any value in beating ourselves up and making 754 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:41,960 Speaker 2: ourselves feel terrible about it. I think we need to 755 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,759 Speaker 2: forgive ourselves recognize that we are capable of making good decisions. 756 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:47,279 Speaker 2: And if we don't like a decision we made in 757 00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,640 Speaker 2: the past, great, when you know better, you do better, right, 758 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:56,160 Speaker 2: And that's that. I love that refrain, right, I love 759 00:35:56,280 --> 00:36:00,799 Speaker 2: that Let's look at how we are approaching these things 760 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:05,120 Speaker 2: from a more positive standpoint. So let's not step into 761 00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,160 Speaker 2: it with Shane. Let's not step into it with negativity, 762 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,680 Speaker 2: because then when you take that positive reframe, it does 763 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:12,880 Speaker 2: help you feel more. 764 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:17,000 Speaker 3: Motivated to do something about it. Yes, one of the 765 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:21,040 Speaker 3: things that I appreciate about your book is that it's 766 00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:25,480 Speaker 3: what I would call easily that digestible. Right, So you 767 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:31,000 Speaker 3: have you're providing tips, you're providing real life stories, and 768 00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:35,120 Speaker 3: examples and then you have activities. 769 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:40,480 Speaker 5: So tell us, tell us, how did you decide to 770 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:42,760 Speaker 5: come up with this format? 771 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:47,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I'm a teacher, right, Like that's really who 772 00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:47,640 Speaker 2: I am. 773 00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:49,160 Speaker 5: I teach people how to do things. 774 00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,359 Speaker 2: You know, I take and it's kind of like it's 775 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:53,760 Speaker 2: something that I learned in law school. You take complex 776 00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,360 Speaker 2: information and how do I distill it down? Make it 777 00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,960 Speaker 2: simple to communicate so people can understand and use it. 778 00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:01,640 Speaker 2: You know that essentially what you're doing as part of 779 00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:02,560 Speaker 2: your job as a lawyer. 780 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:04,960 Speaker 5: And so that's what I do as a teacher. 781 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,000 Speaker 2: And so if I have a book, you best believe 782 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:09,400 Speaker 2: I'm a teacher that gives homework. 783 00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:11,240 Speaker 5: Ok, I get a homework. 784 00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,479 Speaker 2: I expect you to do your homework, all right, because 785 00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,680 Speaker 2: I want you to have the actual transformation. So learning 786 00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:20,080 Speaker 2: these things, taking in these stories, all of that is valuable, 787 00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,239 Speaker 2: and right, it's not going to be as valuable if 788 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,520 Speaker 2: you don't take it and apply it to your own life. 789 00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,000 Speaker 2: So instead of just having you think about how you 790 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:29,520 Speaker 2: can apply it to your own life, I like to 791 00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:32,960 Speaker 2: give specific instructions so that you can apply it to 792 00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:36,000 Speaker 2: your own life and actually, you know, take the action. 793 00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,640 Speaker 2: So I almost treat my books like a course. You know, 794 00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:40,520 Speaker 2: I'm going to give you some fun stories. I'm going 795 00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:42,840 Speaker 2: to give you some examples. I'm going to tell you 796 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,080 Speaker 2: funny stories about my own life. I'm going to teach 797 00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,960 Speaker 2: you some concepts, and then I'm going to ask you 798 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:49,880 Speaker 2: to do the work right and apply it to your 799 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,279 Speaker 2: own life, because that's that's how we get anything, is 800 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,040 Speaker 2: by putting in some effort, you. 801 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,919 Speaker 1: Know, in speaking of homework, and you know, we talked 802 00:37:57,920 --> 00:37:59,840 Speaker 1: a bit about making decisions. Can you tell us about 803 00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:04,520 Speaker 1: making million dollar decisions and maybe give the listeners like 804 00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,680 Speaker 1: a million dollar decision they can make today if they 805 00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:11,520 Speaker 1: want to improve their financial future or their abundance in 806 00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:12,440 Speaker 1: generational wealth. 807 00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:16,359 Speaker 2: Yes, yes, So million dollar decisions are decisions that get 808 00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:18,520 Speaker 2: you closer to you know, that. 809 00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,799 Speaker 5: Wealth that you want that you want to get to right. 810 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:22,759 Speaker 2: So like that's the kind of decisions you make when 811 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,520 Speaker 2: you pre rich right rather than broke gas decisions. 812 00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:27,440 Speaker 5: So quise is the kind of decisions that think you 813 00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:28,439 Speaker 5: broke right. 814 00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:30,480 Speaker 2: And the way, you know the difference is like brow 815 00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:35,080 Speaker 2: gas decisions feel restricting, they take away opportunities, they make 816 00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:38,400 Speaker 2: you feel smaller, they require you to contract right, whereas 817 00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:43,000 Speaker 2: million dollar decisions are expansive there, you know there's opportunity there. 818 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,800 Speaker 2: You feel energized, right, and you feel like you're moving 819 00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:47,000 Speaker 2: towards something exciting. 820 00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:47,480 Speaker 5: Right. 821 00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:51,040 Speaker 2: So that's what a million dollar decision is. And I think, unfortunately, 822 00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,520 Speaker 2: and a lot of personal finance, financial literacy, it's like 823 00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,520 Speaker 2: we're always learning never spend money on yourself, never take on. 824 00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:58,239 Speaker 5: Dad, never do this, never do that. 825 00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,759 Speaker 2: And I'm like, I don't think that's one hundred percent true, right, 826 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,799 Speaker 2: Like I think we have to bet on ourselves. When 827 00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:07,520 Speaker 2: I think about what builds wealth, it is risk taking. 828 00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:11,000 Speaker 2: We all know very hard working people who are not wealthy, 829 00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,440 Speaker 2: right because they're not being paid well for their work. 830 00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:15,880 Speaker 5: So hard work alone is not going to do it. 831 00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:16,319 Speaker 4: Right. 832 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 2: Hard work is a part of the formula, but you 833 00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:20,920 Speaker 2: also have to add a willingness to bet on yourself, 834 00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:23,919 Speaker 2: a willingness to invest, a willingness to take a risk, right, 835 00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,319 Speaker 2: And so million dollar decisions are going to be like 836 00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,200 Speaker 2: you know, I'll give you an example if you're like, well, 837 00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:32,000 Speaker 2: I really want to learn how to invest in real estate, 838 00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:34,000 Speaker 2: and I want to become a real estate investor and 839 00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,799 Speaker 2: like become like, you know, a real estate mobile and 840 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:40,000 Speaker 2: have multiple you know, multi family houses or whatever that 841 00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,799 Speaker 2: are generating money for me. Right, So that might be 842 00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,440 Speaker 2: a dream that you have. Okay, cool, Now how do 843 00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:46,400 Speaker 2: you learn how to do that? 844 00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:47,640 Speaker 5: Well? I don't know how to do it. 845 00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:50,200 Speaker 2: But there's you know, this person that I know that 846 00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,480 Speaker 2: is holding this seminar and they're going to teach everybody 847 00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:53,000 Speaker 2: how to do it. 848 00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:55,000 Speaker 5: And the seminar is twenty. 849 00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,120 Speaker 2: Five hundred dollars and I'm you know, I can't spend 850 00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:00,680 Speaker 2: that money, right, It's like, okay, can you not? Like, 851 00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,360 Speaker 2: let's actually evaluate that. Is it a brokeass decision to 852 00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:07,319 Speaker 2: make that investment in this this learning this skill that 853 00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:10,759 Speaker 2: you want to have or you know, is. 854 00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:12,080 Speaker 5: It a million dollar decision? 855 00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,200 Speaker 2: Right? And so the formula that I use is W, 856 00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:17,719 Speaker 2: Like it's ws APM, which is we should all be millionaires? 857 00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:17,920 Speaker 6: Right? 858 00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,239 Speaker 5: So W stands for want? What do you really want 859 00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:21,360 Speaker 5: to do? Okay? 860 00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:23,080 Speaker 2: What I really want to do is become a real 861 00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,440 Speaker 2: estate mobile. That's my dream. Okay, So that's your vision, 862 00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,600 Speaker 2: but we immediately shrink from it and don't stay true 863 00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:31,840 Speaker 2: to our vision. That's the vision, right that you have 864 00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:35,160 Speaker 2: on your heart for a reason, you know, So trust 865 00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:36,440 Speaker 2: that vision S is for. 866 00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,719 Speaker 5: Should What do you feel like you should do? What 867 00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:39,960 Speaker 5: are the shoulds that are operating? 868 00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:41,839 Speaker 2: Like what's the what's the thing that you hear your 869 00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,839 Speaker 2: mama saying or society is saying, or your neighbors are 870 00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:46,360 Speaker 2: going to say, or you know, what are they going 871 00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:46,640 Speaker 2: to do? 872 00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:48,600 Speaker 5: What are they they're going to talk about me? Right? 873 00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:49,760 Speaker 5: So it's like what is the should? 874 00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,759 Speaker 2: Well, the should is I shouldn't spend money, right, I 875 00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:54,000 Speaker 2: shouldn't invest in myself. 876 00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:56,440 Speaker 5: I should save every dollar that I can. Right. So 877 00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,040 Speaker 5: A is for action What actual will you take to 878 00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:02,719 Speaker 5: get what you want? Right? So that's very important as 879 00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:04,000 Speaker 5: for a million dollars decisions. 880 00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:07,040 Speaker 2: So the action, So the action is not just buy 881 00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:10,360 Speaker 2: the seminar, right, it's attending the seminar, it's taking notes, 882 00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:12,280 Speaker 2: and then it's going home and doing the work. 883 00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:15,760 Speaker 5: So can you trust yourself to show up and follow 884 00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:17,320 Speaker 5: through on this investment? 885 00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:19,759 Speaker 2: Right? And so that's the action. And then BE is 886 00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:21,360 Speaker 2: for body, which is like how does it feel in 887 00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,799 Speaker 2: your body? Because our body is a compass and it 888 00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:27,120 Speaker 2: is telling us like where we need to go, you know, 889 00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,399 Speaker 2: and we ignore it all the time. So like get 890 00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:32,120 Speaker 2: quiet with yourself, you know you can sit and close 891 00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,560 Speaker 2: your eyes, but just like walk out the noise and 892 00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:35,600 Speaker 2: ask yourself. 893 00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:36,480 Speaker 5: Like what do I actually want? 894 00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:38,239 Speaker 2: And when you think about doing the thing, do you 895 00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:41,200 Speaker 2: feel out excited? Your herb starts beating fast, like you 896 00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:44,440 Speaker 2: start sweating a little bit because you're hype or is 897 00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:46,879 Speaker 2: it like it makes you feel sick to your stomach? Right, 898 00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:48,680 Speaker 2: which is like, okay, I really don't want to do that, 899 00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:50,799 Speaker 2: you know. So that's a way to check in for 900 00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,399 Speaker 2: yourself and M is for more, which is what will 901 00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:55,320 Speaker 2: you have more of if you make this decision? 902 00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:58,040 Speaker 5: So will there be more opportunity? Will there be more 903 00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,919 Speaker 5: of a network? Will there be more to make, more 904 00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:01,720 Speaker 5: things to try? 905 00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:02,000 Speaker 4: Right? 906 00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:04,920 Speaker 2: More knowledge to be had? So think about that. So 907 00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,400 Speaker 2: like that that's some of the ways that can evaluate 908 00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:10,040 Speaker 2: our decisions and say, because what's right for me for 909 00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,480 Speaker 2: self person, for someone making that investment is going to 910 00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:15,400 Speaker 2: be a broadcast decision for them because the truth is 911 00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:16,759 Speaker 2: they an going to do that work and they don't 912 00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,000 Speaker 2: really want it anyway, and they're just trying to do 913 00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:20,600 Speaker 2: it because their friends said they should and they don't 914 00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,040 Speaker 2: really want it, right, brocast decision for them. But for 915 00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:25,319 Speaker 2: the person who's like this is my dream, this is 916 00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:28,120 Speaker 2: my vision, this is where I see myself. That's a 917 00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,799 Speaker 2: million dollar decision for them. So it's not about the 918 00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:33,440 Speaker 2: decision itself, whether it's good or bad. It's about how 919 00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:35,960 Speaker 2: does it apply to you? Right, and thinking about does 920 00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:38,360 Speaker 2: it make sense for me? And so that's how we 921 00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:42,560 Speaker 2: make those decisions and be leading ourselves towards that rich life, 922 00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:44,760 Speaker 2: right towards our wealth by making. 923 00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:46,960 Speaker 5: Million dollar decisions instead of brod gas decisions. 924 00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:53,120 Speaker 3: Oh all right, I mean you you laid it out, 925 00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:56,239 Speaker 3: and you laid it out, and I think that we 926 00:42:56,320 --> 00:43:05,720 Speaker 3: all need to rewind and hear one more time.
