 All right, welcome back to the YouTube channel now in today's video. I'm gonna be Going very deep into something that I wish I would have heard 12 years ago when I started my business and I Don't think this is going to apply to everyone who watches this video But my goal here is I know if this can help one person. It's worth it for me to spend the time to go deep into this issue that I see with a lot of coaches and I'm going to be answering the number one most popular question that I get on Instagram Coaches send me this question every day on email Coaches who text me often ask me this question. I see this question three four times per day right and I wanted to create this video because In the future if you ask me this question, I'm gonna send you back and watch this. All right, very simple but the question I get is Am I able to do this as a full-time business, right? So let's say you have nine and five right now and You've been thinking Over the last couple months. Maybe you want to my videos or someone else's videos and you're like, you know What I want to do something more meaningful of my life. I want to coach I want to be a trainer. I want to start a business. I want to do my own thing I don't want to be paid by by a boss anymore. I want to be the boss Now if that's you pay close attention if you thought to yourself, you know, can I do this as a full-time thing now? The answer obviously is yes right Yes, you can But will you do it? and I would say that the number one of the number one factors of why people don't start it's because they don't believe that they can do it and Oftentimes they're surrounding themselves With others who don't have a business and so how are you supposed to? Feel motivated and encouraged when you talk to people who don't have a clue about what they're talking about, right? And this is facts Okay, I've talked about this on my podcast years ago, and I'll repeat it here when I started Like none of my friends had a business. They were all working for for Not a night if I got Getting paid a little safety check every month, right? So it was impossible for me To talk to them about the stuff I was going through. I didn't have anyone I could talk to other than I had a mentor Kind of at the beginning, but if he wasn't really give me a bunch of business advice, but during that time I felt very isolated and What happened was like I started to tell more people that I would say Did that didn't have a business? I was telling what I was doing and they're like, yeah, that's just not gonna work or Oh, like you should just go get a job and here's the thing And this is a very blunt statement But like let's say I want to go get jacked right I want to get ripped I'm not gonna go get advice from an overweight human being Right, and this is happening with business. You might want to start a business and you're talking to uncle Billy Bob Who hasn't started a business who has no idea what it takes? To start one. He has no idea how to get paid. He has zero Confidence and starting something like that. So what happens is those people you talk to project themselves on you and How they feel how they think that starts to creep into your psyche And this is why When I answer this question, can you do this full-time? Absolutely, yes, but you need to cut out people in your life who tell you that you can't and That sounds radical, right? It's exactly what I did Every single person that knew me in 2012 has not spoken to me since then Right the only way they can get to me. They're gonna have to find out where I live Period Right outside of my family any of those people I talked to about advice or friends who say you can't do it How to move on All right, so this all comes down to Surrounding yourself with those who do think you can do it and not just that strong yourself with those who are doing it That's why I created our master on program Right right now. We have close to 90 coaches From eight different countries that are part of two different groups And all of those people think Like my day, right? They all want to succeed. They all want to help more kids. They want to train more clients They want to provide more for their families. They want to have more freedom in their personal life They want to spend more time with their family and their loved ones. They don't want to be You know grinding away 50 hour a week's training when they could be running a better leverage business right and oftentimes when You think about starting a business and you're getting bad advice It's going to Slow you down from starting and it's gonna slow you down from taking action because you think Other people know what they're talking about and this is the thing Right. I'll be the first to admit. I've gotten a lot of bad advice from people who didn't know what the F They were talking about right Those are people who I don't seek out anymore Right Like when I meet with my business coach She has walked the path that I'm on right now. She's walked that path for over 20 years So why do I respect your bike because you've done it? It's the same way when I help coaches start their business grow their business scale Get more clients get better at sales. Like I've already walked that path. That's why I feel very confident Create so much content here on YouTube All right in Five years from now this YouTube channel will probably have two thousand videos Our mastermind program in five years from now will have anywhere between two to ten thousand coaches Why? Well, it's because we've created a community That coaches can come to and ask questions and actually get advice get real rolled advice From others who already accomplish the things that they want to do That's why it works Now if you're watching this and they're like, you know, I just I've been asking the wrong people questions Like you know what I'm talking about you can probably think The last two weeks you probably had one conversation with someone who shut down your idea They're like now that's not gonna work. I had so many people who told me at the beginning like I would never be able to do this Like now me and cowboy are freaking laughing in their faces, right? and Here's the thing You're going to start thinking differently when you're around those who Have done the thing that you want to do because now you know it's possible Right and I'll tell you a story. I've said this on my podcast. So if you heard this This would be a good reminder if you haven't heard it like I think this will really open your mind But I remember the first conference I went to This is a long time ago, and I was sitting there and I was watching this speaker who He's talking about sales And he had this our presentation about sales and And I remember just watching him and I was like man like I've never been around anyone like this in my life who talks this confident and Who's making it sound this simple and Like I could tell this guy really carried a lot of confidence It wasn't hanging out hanging around with a bunch of people who carry that much confidence I wasn't hanging out with people who dressed like he did who talked like he did who talked about money like he did and I remember looking over to next to me one of the people that was Also attending the conference After this guy got on the speech the guy next to me was like hey Like what's your name and we start talking like his third question was how much money are you making per month? And I remember how uncomfortable I felt I Was like what? like I No one had ever asked me that and Then I told him and it was a very low about back then and And then I was like oh if he asked me I'm gonna ask him So I asked him and he's like yeah right now. I do around 20,000 per month When I asked him that question It was like the floodgates opened. I was like this is a normal dude. I'm talking to he's not Superman Like he has just figured out how to do something that I have not done yet So next couple days when I saw him the hallway I kept asking him questions Right that would have never happened though if I would have stayed home that weekend and didn't go to this conference So when you spend time with people who are doing the thing that you want to do you can fast track your success period All right, it's the same thing if you look at kids who play sports and when they play up in each group They get better so much faster Why they're playing with kids that are more experienced more developed and it forces them to play better It forces them to try hard forces them to train more It's the same with business when you hang out with those who are accomplishing things at a higher level than you you play up to their level And I've seen that happen like clockwork Right, and this is an extreme example, right? So this is not a typical Result of coaches that we work with but in November, there's a guy that signed up for our program If you follow me on Twitter, you would see this it's like the first tweet I have that's pinned he joined our program November and He was really frustrated without things were set up within his business. He had a lot of clients, but he did not have a lot of systems and Within it was within a 30-day period He generated $30,000 of sales and one month of Being in our program and then two months later. He generated an extra $40,000 per month All right That is almost half a million dollars per year So when you look at that, it's like he was around other people who are doing that sort of stuff So it made him believe that that's possible and then he took action Right, so I asked you the question here if you feel like you can't do it my question is Who you hang out with? Hey, are you just in your own head? Are you just searching on YouTube? Are you talking to the wrong people? Are you getting bad advice? And that's why I'll tell you never get advice from someone who's not in the arena Like I could not create these YouTube videos unless I was in this arena still I am still train kids Not some some freaking guru Right Normal guy still train kids. Yeah, we have a lot of coaches. Yes But I'm in the arena That's why for you when you seek out information When you ask questions and when you're thinking about making changes Get advice from someone who has already walked the path They're in the arena that you want to play and you can fast-track what you do And if you've watched this video all the way through, I know you're serious.
