Okay, so let's talk about your thoughts and how they've controlled everything that's happened in your life up until now. Let me tell you a story about Joe Colum. Now, Joe Colum by all standards was fairly successful guy. Many years ago, he started a chain of small convenience stores and they were similar to like 7-11 type stores. But then one day he was thanking and he thought, there's gotta be a big opportunity out there. My convenience stores offer food, but it's usually a two-day-old hot dog, nothing that exciting. There's gotta be a better way to get good food to people. So he opened a market in Pasadena, California. He stocked it with good wines and liquors and really good foods. He hired great employees and he trained them really well so that his market would be better than any others. He worked long and hard hours and he always analyzed his business to figure out which ways he could improve on that particular business. He never, ever gave up. Eventually, the market grew and he opened up more and more locations. He would put them around professional hubs, around colleges until it just continued to grow. He added more healthy foods, organic foods. He had diversified foods in there. Unusual recipes and prepared foods that people could grab and go and heat up and just have a great dinner. Lo and behold, after a few years, that concept really took off and Joe named all of his stores Trader Joe's. Now, Joe's success story was not really that unusual because he did some pretty simple things that made a lot of sense. He really cared about his employees. He paid them better than every other store was paying their employees. He had diversified foods that he couldn't get any place else. He was offering organic foods long before it was a big fad and he wanted to have high quality foods in a really nice environment. All of his employees were taught to be polite and to help the customers out. And he even gave away samples at the back of the store every day. Some people, like myself, would actually get a Trader Joe's just to see what the sample was and end up buying things in the store. You see, here's the truth. All successful people think differently. They think differently and they get different results. If you're thinking like everybody else, you're not gonna get different results. They resist complacency. They say no to almost every single thing that does not take them to their goal. They will resist doing anything that does not take them to their goal. They make up for their lack of resources. And I hear this over and over again. I don't have enough money to start an online business. I don't have enough money to start a business. It's not the money. It's not that at all. It's your way of thinking. You see, these people are always open to opportunity. To new ways of doing things and the average person just isn't. Now, if you're thinking this is a genetically inherited trait that I just wasn't born with, you're wrong. You can learn to think differently. The first step is realizing that you're not thinking correctly now. Okay, here's where to start. Number one, think differently about time. Time is literally the most important thing you will ever possess. And right now we all have some time. We're alive. You're watching this video right now and I appreciate your time right now more than you know because you could be doing a million other things with your time other than watching this video. So I wanna make it of good value. Once you realize how valuable your time is, you may stop doing some of the things you're doing now. And I hear over and over again when my day's so full right now and all my time is used up and nothing could be further from the truth. The truth is that you use up your time. You make decisions on what you're gonna do with it. And if part of your decisions is, I'm gonna sit on the couch and sip coffee for the first hour of the day. That's an hour that you just blew. That's an hour that you could have done something with. If you're gonna sit there on the weekends and watch the football game and enjoy the game and not do anything else other than watch games all day, then that's a decision you made to use up your time. Now, I'm not saying you could never watch a game. I'm not ever saying that you can't sip coffee but if you're not satisfied with what your results are right now. In other words, you're not getting out of life what you want. Don't sit there and watch the game. Don't sit there and sip the coffee. Don't sit there and watch the TV shows. And then complain about what you don't have. Number two is think differently about preparation. Too many people will say, well, we'll see what happens. You know, I'll go there and I'll try this thing or I'll try to sell something online and I'll run an ad, but I'll just see what happens for right now. Nothing could be further from the truth because things don't just happen, they happen just. You have to prepare. Preparation is so, so very important. If you're gonna have one conversation with somebody and it pertains to your business, I would suggest that you sit down and plan out that conversation in advance. Why not do that? Why not put down all the bullet points of the things you wanna talk about? Why not plan out what you're gonna say and what they may say back so that you get the most out of that conversation? If you get off track, you can look at your outline and say, well, I'm off track. I'm wasting time right now. I should end this conversation. So bottom line is you need to think about preparation in every aspect of your life. No matter what you're gonna do, whether you're gonna run an ad, if you're gonna run an ad on Facebook, don't say, well, I'm gonna run an ad on Facebook and see how it does. The first thing I would do if I ran an ad is I would learn how to run ads. I would spend a lot of time figuring out, what kind of pictures do I do? What kind of text do I do? What is my audience? Where is it gonna go to? And if you don't know that, I've got a great Facebook ads course. You'll help put a link down below there. You can grab that course. It'll walk you through everything on Facebook. And you're gonna have to spend hours figuring out how to do a Facebook ad. But when you finally do a Facebook ad, you know you're gonna be doing it right and you're gonna know that you did it prepared. And here's the funny thing. If you start preparing for stuff in advance, you're gonna get a whole lot better results. I remember recently I had to go down to Florida and I had to give a talk down there and it was with a group of marketers and I thought to myself, what do I have that's valuable for those people? And I spent about a week and a half preparing for about a 30 minute speech. And you say, well, that's a lot of time. I said, well, yes it is, but I got a lot of good results out of it. I made a lot of relationships out of it. I made money out of it because people did business with me. So had I have not prepared, had I just walked up and just started talking about stuff, it wouldn't have been near as good. Number three, think differently about connections. A person who doesn't perform well, a person who is not that successful will say, well, let me get a hold of this famous person. Let me get a hold of this successful person. And I just wanna go pick their brain and I'm gonna go find out what they know so I can apply all the things they know. Now, a successful person thinks, I'm gonna add value to everybody I talk to. It doesn't matter if they're successful or not successful. I'm gonna do something to help them. And I see this a lot in meetup groups and meetings and conventions where people will say, well, I just wanna go there and maybe meet some people that can help me out. Instead of saying, I wanna go there and see how many people I can actually help out. How many people can I give value to? How many people can I assist? And so many people will say, well, I'm not gonna give my time up for free. I'm not gonna do that. Sometimes you need to give your time up for free because people appreciate that you gave your time up for free and they will talk to other people about it. Now, certainly, yes, you're gonna say, well, some people just rob you of your time and constantly want favors. Yes, they will. And you can just cut those people out once you figure out what that is. But that shouldn't stop you from helping the average person get ahead. Number four, think differently about referrals. Now, referrals are a great thing for business. They're a great thing for Facebook groups. They're a great thing for YouTube channels, whatever. You wanna give enough value to where people do wanna refer you first. That's step number one on referrals is if you're not giving value, people aren't gonna refer you. If you give a lot of value, if you give more than what these people expect, whether it's in a product, whether it's in training, whether it's in coaching, whatever it is you're doing, if you give more than what people expect, that's unusual, that's very unusual. And people will go talk about that. That's something, that's a story that they're gonna share with other people. I know there's a little Mexican restaurant I've been going to for years and years, and the prices are so low, and the portions are so big, and the product is so great that I think everybody I've ever talked to and my wife would agree with this, I've told them about this Mexican restaurant. It's Los Cuantos Milpas. If you ever get to San Diego, check it out. It's been there since 1935. But you see, right now I'm doing a referral. And I'm doing a referral because of how they treat you. They're pleasant when you go in there. They're friendly. You get a lot of food. You got a great price. It's fun. And that's a way to get a referral, guys. If you wanna get referrals instead of saying my people should give me referrals, that's just something they should do. They won't if you don't treat them right. And the last part to getting referrals is you gotta ask for them, okay? Do you know anybody else that would be interested in my product? Do you know anybody else that could use my services? Do you know anybody else that needs help in this area that I could assist? And those people will come forward if you've helped them out. Number five, think differently about motivation. Motivation's a funny thing. And I've heard about it for years and they say, well, you know, somebody will just come along and motivate me. They'll do really good. But what if they don't show up? What if somebody doesn't come along to motivate you? Are you gonna give up at that point? The point is with motivation, motivation is really doing things when you don't feel like doing things. And if you continue to do things when you don't feel like doing them, you'll start to get results. Now, people think that motivation, getting that first will equal success and nothing could be further from the truth. Actually, it's just the opposite. If you aren't motivated to do something and you force yourself to do things and the more you force yourself, the more results you get, more success you get, the more success you get, the more motivated you become because you're successful. And success is one of the biggest motivators in the world. If you're successful at something and you know you're gonna be successful at it, you'll be more motivated to do it. So the way it works is you do stuff that you're not motivated to do, you finally get some results and you get some success and then success gets you more motivated and you go back and get more results. So understand success is motivation. Motivation isn't success. Number six, think differently about leadership. Now, you may have an idea. You may have an idea for a course and you may say to yourself, well, what right do I have to tell other people how to do things? I mean, I'm not a leader right now. I don't know how to do anything. I can't do anything. And bottom line is with the internet nowadays, you can learn how to do anything you want pretty much for free. And once you learn how to do stuff, you do most certainly have a right to help other people out. You do most certainly have a right to be a leader and you are a leader right now. If you haven't done it yet, that just means you haven't done it yet. Everybody has the right to lead and as soon as you can get that in your head and say, you know what? I do have value and you start thinking that way and I can help people out. You'll find out you'll become a leader quicker than you think. Just like Joe Cullum started that convenience store and grew it and made it better than any other convenience store and treated his employees better and paid them more and worked harder and analyzed, you can do the same thing. You can't coast to the top. It doesn't work that way. You've got to really work your way to the top. But the cool thing is changing the way you think and doing different actions will get you different results on a daily basis, but you've actually got to do these things. It's super, super important. You know, my coaching that I do now, I didn't have a right to do in 2009 because I didn't know anything, but now I've earned that right. I've sold things online. I've done courses, I've written books and all these things give me the right. But the thing is, you won't earn that right until you go out and do these things, until you put into action. Remember that motivation thing. That motivation thing is I do stuff I don't want to do to gain some successes so I'm motivated to do more things. You've got to think of it that way.
