I want to have more flexibility. I Hate my current job and I want to be a full-time coach and you know when I started I Hated what I was doing like and I hated while I was doing enough to where it pushed me To start something different than what I was doing because I hated my job I hated driving to work. I mean I hate being in a car in the first place, but I hated commuting going 30 45 minutes to to my job Sitting in traffic being told When to eat lunch when I can go to the bathroom when I can drink water like I mean it was Amazing how like I felt like I was trapped in a prison and I Hated that enough though. I had a high sense of urgency to stop doing that and I needed to change my life so like if you are in a position and you are wanting to Start well, no one's going to give you the green light to do that Like I'm not gonna do that. So if you text me. Hey, should I start a business? I'll always if you always ask me. Hey, should I start a business? I will tell you no I will say no, don't do it. Like you shouldn't be asking me that you should just go do it And if you're asking someone for permission to do something You are not fit to be a business owner and I can I can promise you that if you are trying to get started and you don't Think you can start I don't know what to tell you you shouldn't be doing this All right, and the other thing is like I know when when coaches start their business They think and I have this funny clip pulled up here If you look at this guy and I don't know if it's his wife or his girlfriend I don't know what they are But most people think when they start a business, it's going to be like this that you get to sleep in on Monday you get to Get on their laptop have a little latte and chill out and Have a very relaxed day now when you have a business, right? It is not like that It is not like how a lot of these people who show you ads probably on my videos Talk about it is not like that And this is why like one of the reasons why I bought this Lion off of Amazon. It's like when I get in here. I know I have to go hunt Like this room is specific for work Hey, I don't come up here and play play around on Instagram and Twitter all day, right? I'm not up here with my wife sipping on a latte and you know tucked away and under the covers Right, but this is the the fantasy and the illusion that a lot of people have when they think about starting business They're like, well, I don't like what I'm doing right now So if I start something my life will be easier. I can assure you 1,000% your life will be harder when you have a business than when you don't Right because guess what? No one's gonna tell you what time to wake up. No one's just gonna go give you clients No one's going to make you successful. All right other than you All right, and this is why I know so many times When coaches reach out and they're like, you know, should I do this? You know, should I get started? What are the best ways to get started? Like I have plans and in guides and detailed Resources that you can use that will help you get started in the next day All right, you can legally set your business up over the next day Go check out my website bill my sports biz calm You can check it out there But what you need to know is you know if you're considering getting started It is going to be the hardest thing you've ever done in your life period Right, and I say that so bluntly because I know it's true. I've been self-employed For over a decade Right, and I will tell you it's absolutely hard and can you have freedom and flexibility? Absolutely. Yes Like a hundred percent you can but it will take you time. All right, that does not happen in year one It's probably not gonna happen in year five right as you as you're going I mean some of the most successful coach I'm working with right now. I can promise you they're working way harder than you would think right and You know, they might not be up till 10 or midnight every single day working but like they work very very hard during the time, you know during their work time during the day, right and That's gonna be the difference is your focus your discipline that you have when you start a business That is all in your hands right Right. No one's tapping me on the shoulder at six o'clock in the morning Monday through Friday saying hey Ben You need to wake up today. No one does that to me. I do that. Right. I do that. So That's it for today's message. I hope this helps you It's it's you know, you need to know the truth. It's being being successful is hard. It's not for everybody and starting your business with the illusion thinking that you're gonna make it rain in the first year and You're gonna be able to sleep in on Monday or Tuesday with your significant other and and relax Promise you. All right. It's not how it works. That's not how it works around here. So that's it and catch you later
