I have got some really awesome information to share with you today. And I think you're really gonna like it. It's things that you can actually do and get real results from and literally change your life. So I'm gonna share those with you today. Richard Brown says, wow, wow, what's up, Richard? But these things I'm gonna share with you today is not my list. It's another guy who made this list. And this list is really phenomenal. It really kind of makes you think about what you're doing in life and what's going on in life and how you can improve your life. I think you're really, really gonna like it. But if you have any questions about starting, running and growing an online business, I want you to put them in that chat box right there. Anything you wanna know. I mean, I've got my agenda for today, but I can certainly deviate from that because this is all about you guys. This is really all about helping you guys start, run and grow online businesses. We're gonna see the results of some of Paul's stuff here because he's been working on it. And the other people out there, man, if you're working on businesses, you want some suggestions, some ideas, whatever opinions, help, whatever, put that in that chat box. Now you may not be watching this live. If you're not watching it live, no big deal. You can put everything you wanna put in the comment section. There will be a comment section down there. I also have a lot of links, more information to help you out. And that will be in the description of this video. Once it's no longer live, it'll be there. Doing a print on demand and these are our samples still reworking a little and we'll open our Shopify store. Hey, Paul, do you have a name for your Shopify store yet or an email or anything that people could get in touch with you? Because I think once they see this, they may have some interest in what you've got to sell. I'm gonna hold it up in just a second guys and show you what Paul sent me, but I do wanna get into the training too. Let me get a little sip here real quick. Let's see. I hope you guys are excited about today. You're all alive, you're all here. You got another day. A lot of people don't have the advantage you do. I know I was out with my wife having lunch yesterday. We went to Texas Roadhouse and we looked out there and there was this person in a wheelchair and they could use their right arm a little bit to use the electric part of the wheelchair, but it looked like the rest of their body was done. And I really felt for this person because they were out in the middle of this parking lot. It was not the best of neighborhoods. And I got to think into myself, anybody could attack this person. Anybody could. They couldn't fight back. There's nothing they could do. The assumption is probably they have some money on them. And that could be you. That could be me. That could be anybody. When you see people like that, certainly you wanna help them out. But more importantly, you wanna be grateful for what you've got. And today is a little bit about being grateful. Okay, I'll admit that. But it's really cool stuff that you can put in there. American Fighter Fire Gear. Is that the website, Paul? Is that the actual website? Or is there a website yet? I don't know if there is or not. Let me just take a look here real quick. And guys, if you're running a business and you wanna throw some of your information on this live call, you're welcome to do so. We'll see if he's got American Fire. And you used to be a firefighter. I think Paul did you? Firefighter Gear. Let me just see if I come up with anything on mine. There's a lot of people using that SEO. American Fire Gear, I do see that. So I don't see American Fire Fighter. Maybe you don't have that store up yet or you're getting that store up. But that's a really cool idea and I think you're gonna do really well. And I'm looking forward to watching you grow that business. Let's see here, Richard Brown, Digital Cash Academy. Have someone helping to do the heavy lifting and your support desk. Rehim having access to the FB group, not responding. Do me a favor, Richard, send me an email to support at jrfisher.com, support at jrfisher.com. Let me know what you need. If you're not getting a response, let me know what you need. I will certainly help you out, I apologize. We do get a lot of people, but that's no excuse. So if you're not getting help from someone, let me know. I'll certainly help you out. Let me see here. Well, I'll check that afterwards. I wanna get in the training, but if you need any help, I will certainly help you out. Wait till I have my own product for JV support. Okay, cool. Currently building out site, but Facebook is live. So guys, I guess you can go to what is it? American Fire Fighter Gear. American Fire Fighter Gear. Let me see if I can find that real quick. American Fire Fighter Gear. You can see if I can find a group for that. I do find a group for that, and it's got 334 likes. And Paul, I'll hold it up. Is that the group right there? Paul, just let me know if that's a group. And if so, everybody jump to that group. Go join that group. Get involved in that group. Only if you're interested, though. Don't subscribe to the group and never go there. Okay, same thing with the YouTube channel. Don't do that, cause it doesn't do anybody any good. But check it out. I know Paul, Paul's gonna be great with that. American Fire Fighter Gear. I've already liked it. So I've done my part right there. But you should go and like it too. I highly suggest you doing so. Paul's a good guy. Looks like it's got some cool stuff here. So you wanna check out that site definitely. All right, well, let's get into our list today. And I promised you there were four things that would change your life, but possibly five. Okay, so it is kind of four, but it's possibly five. And this was actually written by a gentleman by the name of Don Miguel Ruiz. Don Miguel Ruiz. And it's really everything in life we do is based on an agreement. Richard Brown says, well done, Paul. Wait till you see this stuff. I'm gonna open the box in just a second, Richard. So the agreements with the divine, okay? The people we interact with, agreements with our lives, but the most important agreements are the ones we make with ourselves, okay? And these are things that we do every single day. We've made these agreements with ourselves. It is through these agreements with ourselves that we determine, we determine the story of who we are, how we should behave, what's possible, and really what we can do in life. So what I wanna do is I wanna go through the five agreements. There are five some people use four, but it's good for you to include anything that you think would fit into this. Put that in the chat section right there. And so the first one, the first one, and I'm going to put this in the chat section. This is agreement number one. Agreement number one is the story of you, colon, be impeccable with your word. There you go. Now, on the surface, that may not sound like much. It means a ton, guys, and you can put in the chat section how you would interpret that, but be impeccable with your word. So say only the things you honestly mean. And I see couples do this a lot. They'll be arguing, and one of them will say, well, you never pick up your clothes, or you never cook dinner, or you never do this, or you always do this, and there's no such thing as always or never. And I doubt if that person has never, ever in their entire lives picked up their clothes. So we use these superlatives, and I'm just giving this as an example, because so often we say stuff we don't mean, or you'll say, I hate you and I don't like you, or all these things that just kind of pop out of your mouth and you don't really mean it, be impeccable with your word. Don't say anything that you don't mean. To really master being impeccable with your word, you will be required to heighten your awareness, not just the words you say, but also the emotions you express. It's so easy to say this person shouldn't do that or this person shouldn't do that, and you just put all of your emotions on top of them. This includes your attitude, your actions, and where you express the power of your beliefs. You will need to develop a discipline of mindfulness. This is not easy to do. This first one's not easy. To be impeccable in these expressions on a daily basis. Now, certainly we're gonna kid around every now and then and say stuff we don't mean trying to be funny. That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about when you're really communicating with people on a daily basis, you're being serious. You wanna be impeccable with your words. You only wanna say what you really, really feel, okay? And you may want to give that some thought. Maybe your feelings shouldn't be expressed at that moment. Maybe you need to calm down. Maybe your anger needs to subside or something before you say that to somebody, especially if it's a loved one or a friend. You wanna use, avoid using words to speak against yourself. Avoid using words to gossip about others. Use the power of your words in the direction of truth and love always. Can you do that? How would your life change if you did this just the first one right here, which is be impeccable with your words? If you can see yourself as an artist, okay? So let's say you're an artist with your words and you can see that your life is your own creation, which it is, then why not create the most beautiful story for yourself? Why not do that, okay? Why not create something that really means something, guys? And I know we're always talking about making money online and all this stuff. James says, integrity, so very true. Never email when you're angry. Man, that's a real truth, Richard. I sometimes will have a customer or somebody say something rude or bad to me and my wife does the same thing. We wait 24 hours. We wait 24 hours before we respond to anybody because we wanna think it through. Our mind is a very reactive organ, okay? It reacts to the second, you know? Whatever's going on right now is gonna react. It doesn't really work through all of our thoughts. It doesn't have time to. So we've gotta give it time to be impeccable with our words. We've gotta give it time to really think about this stuff. All right, the next one up here is I'm gonna also type this in. Every mind is a world, colon. Don't take anything personal. Another hard one to do. Another very hard one to do. We can get offended easily. You know, sometimes somebody may cut you off in traffic, okay? And personally you're like, that jerk just cut me off. That guy doesn't know who you are. That woman doesn't know who you are. They may not even have cut you off, you know? Maybe they just are bad drivers, okay? Possibly they just had something horrible happen in their life. Maybe they just had a loved one pass away. Maybe they just got some bad news about their life. Maybe they just lost their job. Try to stop and don't take things personally. You know, online I'll have people say to add things to me every now and then. Not very often. No, I mean, I'm fairly lucky in that respect. However, every now and then they do. I try to say what's going on in their life? What's causing them to do that? Why are they really doing that? I'm not perfect at this either. I gotta work at this every single day. But if you make it a habit of not taking anything personally, nothing, you will no longer need to place your trust in whether to say or do. And I think a lot of us stop and we're like, oh my gosh, if I don't do good at this, my friends are gonna make fun of me. My family is gonna think I'm a loser. So I just won't try it that way. I can't lose. You do lose. Every time you don't try. And I think the reason we don't try is because we put so much credence in everybody else's opinion. And you shouldn't do so. It doesn't matter. Don't take things personally. Ruez suggests that we are not responsible for the actions of others. And what they think, we're not responsible for that. We are only responsible for our own actions and decisions. That's the only thing we can really be responsible for. If we can strengthen our ability to not take things personally, hard thing to do, we can no longer be hurt by words or actions of others. Because that's all they are, is the words and actions of other people. They have nothing to do with us whatsoever. It's just an opinion that somebody else has. Let's see here. Paul says, far too many people use words like I can't or it's meant for others, but not me. Having a healthy self-esteem is so important. Yeah, and you know Paul, I think a lot of times we're so affected by our childhood and what happened in junior high school or what happened in high school or what happened in elementary school or what other kids said to us. And it sticks with us. It sticks with us our entire lives. And we take all this stuff personal and if somebody says, you know, you're not good at sports, you're terrible at sports or whole life, we think we're bad at it. You know, as a kid, I didn't really play sports. I didn't do much because I had this bad mindset where I couldn't beat every single person out there. I just wouldn't do it. And that's an impossible thing to do. So a lot of times I wouldn't participate. Now as an adult, I do a lot more sports. I do a lot more physical things. And I realize, I don't have to beat everybody. I don't have to, I don't have to do that. I try to compete with myself. You know, right now I'm on this push-up kick and you know, I'm doing all these exercises. And last night, I'll tell you pretty sure about last night, but you know, my whole thing is how many, I do three sets of 40 seconds. And I have a timer and I can generally, when I first started doing it a year ago, I was around 100 push-ups. Now I'm like 123, 124, which I think is a decent gain. You know, what is that? It's 25% gain, something like that to do, you know, I probably exaggerate. It was probably below 100 at the beginning. But now I can do, you know, 123, 124 push-ups. And I think I'm kind of maxing out because you can only do so many push-ups a second. But I'm in this competition with myself. Last night, I got on our bike, our mixed fitness bike and I set it for one hour. I set my watch for one hour and about 20 minutes into it, I was watching TV as I did this. I dropped the TV control, no problem. I stopped the mixed bike. I reached down and got the TV control, went back to pedaling. After about 12 minutes, I realized I forgot to turn the mixed bike back on as far as the timer. So now my watch would go to an hour, but the bike wouldn't in one of mixed bikes, you don't maybe understand this if you don't have one. If you don't complete that workout, you get no credit for any of it. And I was like, ah! So I had to do an hour and 12 minutes of the bike, right? To get the complete workout because I'm in competition with myself. You know, nothing other people do is because of you. It's not, right? It's because of themselves. That's why they're doing this. All people live in their own dream. That's what all of us are doing right now. It's in their own mind that they're living in. They are in a completely different world from the one we live in, okay? Completely different. They see things different. They look at things different. When we take something personally, we make the assumption that they know what is in our world. They don't, okay? And we try to impose our world onto their world, which you can't because they're never gonna understand your world. You're never gonna understand their world. So don't take anything personally, guys. Imagine how you would feel, how comfortable you would feel, how awesome you would feel if the things that other people said and imposed upon you didn't bother you anymore. How would you feel? Would you feel like kind of relieved? Would you feel kind of good about that? I know I do that now. I do that a whole lot more now. I'm not 100%, okay? I'm not 100%. But I try to understand that you've got a different world and you've got different things that are affecting what you say and what you see and what you do. And I do take that into account now. And I think, gee, I wonder what happened to that person to cause it to be mean to me. I wonder what happened to that person to make them be rude to me. I wonder how their day was at the restaurant that they gave me really terrible service. Maybe they had four really horrible customers before me. Do you do that? Or do you just assume that your world is their world too? What if you could change that? And here's the cool thing. You can, you can change that. Let's see here. Let me look here. I'm gonna read some. We got some good stuff in here. Paul and Richard, everybody. Far too many used words like I can. Okay, I read that one. This is great and many thanks, Richard says. Sure, Richard. This is not for you. You're not good enough. Yes, we think that a lot, don't we? We do think that a lot. It's so much easier to not care what other people think after the age of 40. And you know, Paul, there's a lot of truth to that. You know, I'm over 40, obviously. But you kind of understand life a little bit better. You kind of chill out a little bit better. It's much easier to not, okay, I did that one. See the logic of Mike Mincer refitness. Mike, just blow your mind. Okay, guys, check out Mike Mincer. That's why I get all these good suggestions. This is from you guys. I really appreciate that. Getting over the mind blocks of the past is an ongoing thing, especially around ideas of making money. Yeah, because we think we have a certain value. We see our parents with a certain value. We see our friends with a certain value. And we kind of fall into that value. That's not us. That doesn't have to be us, okay? We can change all that. Agree, Paul, and now I'm post 60 and don't give two hoots on the same way, Richard. I just don't anymore. But you know what? It kind of releases a lot of pressure when you're so not worried about what everybody thinks. I mean, it releases a lot of pressure. Let's see, socialization is a lot to answer for. Sounds like a good blog post. Yes, definitely, definitely. So that was number two, okay? We got through two. We only got four. It's not gonna take us long. So relax, jump in. Number three is, here we go. Truth or fiction, colon. Don't make assumptions. Okay, so this one here, don't make assumptions, is us imposing our world on somebody else, okay? We're assuming things. This agreement speaks of having the courage to ask questions and to express what it is that we really want, okay? If we can learn to communicate with others as clearly as possible, we will inevitably avoid misunderstandings, hurt and drama. With just this one agreement, you're as says we can completely transform our lives. Assume nothing. Don't make assumptions, assume nothing. Like some people I've talked to who are really wise have said, when you assume, you make an ass out of you and me. You can't assume anything, guys. If others tell us something, we make assumptions, okay? And if they don't tell us something, we make assumptions. To fulfill our need to know and to replace the need to communicate. Even if we hear something, we don't understand, we make assumptions about what it means and then believe the assumptions. Understand, we made these assumptions. We make all sorts of assumptions because we don't have the courage to ask questions. So when you're communicating with people and you don't understand and you think you know what they're talking about it, I would suggest you saying, well, what I hear from you is that you're upset because I didn't get that paperwork done on time. Is that correct? And ask them that question. What I hear from you is you're upset because I haven't taken the trash out in a week, honey. Is that what I'm hearing from you? And she may say, no, no, I'm just agorated over all the clothes everywhere, the trash was just something that set me off. So don't make these assumptions. If you don't make these assumptions and you actually ask people questions, you could actually work through stuff and get so many things, solve guys. It can make your life so much easier if you just do these things. And put your comments in the suggestions or in the chat section, what do you think? Truth or fiction, okay? Truth or fiction, it doesn't matter. We make assumptions. We make these assumptions. We need to stop doing that to get another sip. Gosh, number three, we're already at a number four. And then I'm gonna open this box. If you haven't been here, Paul sent me this box. Right here, it's got some goodies in it. I wanna show it to you guys. So hang in here, I'm gonna open this box in just a second and show it to you guys. And yeah, Paul, I'm covering your address with my finger. So don't worry about that. Nobody's gonna see your address. Number four, number four, and I wanna put this in here. Practice makes the master. Colin, always do your best. This is huge, guys. Richard Brown says, open questions for the who, what, why, when. Yes, open questions. And you know, we've got a mature audience in case you haven't noticed it on these trainings I'm doing. Bunch of older guys who really have learned a lot about life. And you know what, guys? It's our job to teach other people. I got a phone call from my daughter yesterday who is 30, she's going, oh my God, she's 30. Ooh, that makes me so old. And she's gonna be 31 this year. And she was having a problem in life. And she says, Dad, I wanna ask you because you know just about everything. And I felt so, I was so complimented that you would say that. And yet I also knew that I didn't know very much at all. But it was so cool that she thought I knew so much that she wanted to ask advice. And I gave her the advice and she said she felt so much better after hearing it. And it was so cool to be able to do that and not know that I would even have a decent answer for her. But I gave her my answer. I gave her just my opinion. But I understand my opinion was based on all these years I've lived. If she had asked me that question when I was 30, I probably would have given her the wrong answer. And I don't know if the answer I gave her was right or wrong, but I know that it made her feel better. And that's what really counted to me is making her feel better. Because she's a really wonderful woman. She's a great mom. And she just needed to hear something from her dad and that made me feel really good. So number four, I said practice makes the master always do your best. Now, this is an agreement. This agreement relates to realizing that your best is going to change from moment to moment. Now, I know this, right? Logically I know this, but I tell you when I'm doing the pushups and I don't do as many as I did the day before and I do less and I can't get any further. I'm like, oh my God, it's horrible. But the fact is your best is going to change. Your best will be different when we're tired as opposed to when we're well rested. Yet, despite any circumstance that we may encounter if we strive to do our best, okay? So I try to do as many pushups as I can. We can let go of our self judgment which leads to self abuse and regret. You beat yourself up more than anybody ever will. And let me say that one more time. You will beat yourself up more than anybody ever will, okay? And I think it's funny when we become adults, whenever that is, 18, 21, I don't know, 25, you pick the number. We think we're supposed to know all the answers and we don't. The all you can do is your best. Now, there's two sides to this do your best then. The first side is, oh my God, I gotta try so hard. The other side is, hey, I know I'm doing my best so I can not beat up myself anymore. I did my best, that's the best I could do. And it kind of relieves a lot of the pressure you have too. So depending on how you take this, if you just do your best at things, you're gonna feel really good about yourself because you did your best. Not what you achieved, not what you gained, not how much money you have in the bank or any of these things. And I know I've improved in that area as far as money in the bank than when I was a younger person. But I gotta tell you, I do my best more now. You know, when I was a younger person, I didn't always do my best. I didn't think anything really mattered so much. I would only do the important things. And then there's the question. What are the important things? What are the important things you're supposed to work on? Hmm, right? I think they're all important. You say, well, I mean, keeping my desk cluttered, that's not that important if it's cluttered or not. Yeah, it is, everything's important. 100%, everything's important. Does that mean you need to do everything perfectly? Absolutely not, absolutely not. What it means is always do your best. Just do your best the best you can. It doesn't have to be better than somebody else. It doesn't have to be better than what you did yesterday. It's just your best right now. In any circumstance in your life, no matter what it is, your family, your friends, you know, cleanliness, health, whatever it is, just do your best. And nobody knows better than you if you're doing your best. Nobody knows that better. If it doesn't matter if you're sick or tired, just do your best. If you always do your best, there is no way you can judge yourself because you can go back and go, hey, I did my best. And it takes a lot of pressure off you. If you don't judge yourself, there is no way you're going to suffer from guilt. You're not gonna suffer from blame. You're not gonna suffer from self punishment. By always doing your best, you will break a big spell that you've been under for years. And a lot of us go through our whole lives beating ourselves up, and we say we should have done this, we could have done this, and blah, blah, blah. And here's the other thing I wanna add to this one here. You can't change the past. You can't. You may have done some things that weren't admirable in your past. I know I have, you know? I think most people have. It was a learning process for me in life, you know, to change from doing these bad things to doing good things. And as soon as I realized I couldn't change the past, it takes a big weight off you. You're like, it's behind me now. Now, I've seen a lot of people trying to change the past, right? They say, oh my God, I wanna change the past. They aren't able to do it. I haven't seen a one person be able to change the past, not one. So what makes you think you can? You can't, is the answer. Let's see here. How true, I'm so black and blue from my beatings. Yeah, we all are, Richard, but you know what, buddy? It's okay, it's okay. It's okay to go ahead and stop now and go, hey, I've done my best. I screwed up some stuff in the past. So what? So what? I'm here now. That's what really matters. James Breen says, serenity is S-C-O-T. I can't even pronounce that, James. You've gotta have a simpler word for me. S-C-O-T, are you? Wait a second. He's got a word here. He's just thrown me. And here, my ignorance is rearing its ugly head here. D-C-C-E-O-T-I-Y. I don't doubt that he has a really cool word here. No, serenity, maybe you mean acceptance. I can't find that word, James. That word does not exist when I Google it. Maybe my vocabulary is okay. Paul says, was told that we're like an hourglass with limited sand or time, and we are. Never waste that time on things not moving forward. Yes, true. I will add one thing though, take time to rest. Take time to rest, it's okay. Don't feel guilty about rest. Don't feel guilty about that. Your body, your mind, you need that, okay? So you don't have to work all the time. You don't have to be achieving all the time. Now, I like to achieve things. I enjoy that, but you know what? Every now and then I take time for rest. Yesterday we went out to Texas Roadhouse, had a nice lunch. I didn't work, I just enjoyed spending time with my wife. Take time for rest, okay? Always do your best to take time for rest. Let's see here. You need to try the DDP yoga, 10 second push-ups. 10 seconds up, and 10 seconds down. Check it out on YouTube. Okay, I'll do that. Do you do that, Paul? Is that something you're doing? Have you tried it? Let me know about it, and how long do you do that? I'm curious. That's something my wife may enjoy too. She's actually doing push-ups with me. James Brain says, serenity is accepting every person, thing or situation, exactly as it is at the present moment, and counts your blessings every day. Man, that's well put, James. It really is. Buddy, people want to hear from you. Start that channel. You got all this stuff, you got all this knowledge. You got to start that channel. 70% of something done, imperfect, is better than 100% of trying to be perfect and accomplish nothing. Very true. James Brain, my clumsy fingers hit the sin button. Thank God I didn't know that word. Not that I know all words, because I certainly don't. But I was like, man, this is out of my realm. My rest is days fishing. And that's awesome. That's an awesome thing. It's so cool that you have that for yourself, and you should really enjoy it when you're doing that. You should say, you know what? This is for me. This is what I like. This is what I love. Okay, number five? Number five is kind of the red herring here. I'm gonna throw this out. It's not for everybody. Paul says, I think it starts by forgiving your past and realize every day is a fresh canvas to start. It 100% is, Paul. It 100% is. And keep in mind, just because you wanna forget your past and things that happens, it doesn't mean your friends and family and enemies are gonna wanna forget it, right? They may wanna still bring that stuff up. That doesn't mean they have to pull you into it. It doesn't mean that. Now, number five, and then I'm gonna open the box. This is the box that Paul sent, guys. I wanna open this box and show you what he sent me. And I have an address in our about section there or on our webpage. If you ever wanna send me stuff, you can certainly go there and do that. Somebody was asking me for our address. This is getting very deep into Zen. It won't give it so deep because I'm not that deep, Richard, so it won't give it so deep. All right, number five, let me put it in here. The power of doubt, colon, be skeptical, comma, but learn to listen. Okay, this is a big one, guys. I think this is really big right now because of our political climate. It's like we've got the left and the right and you can't be anywhere in between. Well, I'm here to tell you, you can be. You can be anywhere on that spectrum you want or you can choose not to even participate in the spectrum. But you don't have to be a certain way because you affiliate with a certain group. It's not necessary. And I think it's actually hurtful because people who I have disagreed with wholeheartedly, once I heard their side, I was like, wow, now I get where you're coming from. But if I hadn't have been willing to listen to what they had to say, I would have never learned those lessons. It's really important to listen to your friends and your enemies. Listen to your enemies, okay? Really important. I'm not saying try to go convince them of anything because it's almost impossible to do. But listen to them. See where they're coming from. Don't believe yourself or anybody else. Be skeptical, right? Every time I hear something and it could be politically oriented, I was like, well, why are they doing this? Why are they saying this? Use the power of doubt to question everything you hear. You should question everything. Is it really the truth? Listen to the intent behind the actual words. Why are they saying these things? And you'll understand the real message. Now, when you listen, you know exactly what other people want. Once you know what they want, what will you do with that information is up to you. So whatever you do with that information is up to you at that point. You can react or not react. That's your choice. You could agree or disagree if you want. That's your choice. With what they say and it depends on what you want is how you're going to react to it, too, if you think about that. Nothing has been truer than that in our climate today. And I say in our climate today, but since the beginning of man, I'm sure there has been a climate of mistrust and argument and two different sides. It just always has, right? But we can choose to accept it or go against it or try to change it, whatever we want to do. Now, all of these arguments will help you reconnect with your authentic and awakened self. I'm not trying to get too touchy-feely here. But with the fifth agreement, this Ruaz guy who wrote all of this guides us to have complete acceptance of ourselves just as who we are. In addition, he also teaches us the complete acceptance of everybody in our lives. Just accept them for who they are. Just as they are. He suggests that the reward of living with these agreements is eternal happiness. Perhaps, try them out, see what happens. Let me know what you thought of these things. I'm getting ready to open Paul's Boxer, by the way. But let me know what you thought of these things. I think it starts by, forgive me, I read that one. This is getting very, I read that one. The power of doubt, be skeptical, but be willing to listen, guys. And that's what I put in there. Be willing to listen. Don't shut somebody out because you disagree with them. Now, you may listen to them and still disagree and there's nothing wrong with that. But at least listen to them. Listen, okay? You can never take in any new information. You can never grow, you never become better or anything. And it may actually, when you listen to them, it may enforce what you already believe. You may go, well, I know that person's an idiot now. Before they spoke, I just thought they were an idiot. Now that they spoke, I know they're an idiot. So it may enforce what you're already thinking. But the point is, listen, listen, that way you'll know. Tried it and was only able to do a set of eight. So I guess you go up for 10 seconds, hold it. Down for 10 seconds, hold it up for 10 seconds. Is that what it is Paul? I think you'll enjoy the success stories from DDP Yoga, mainly core building. And it was similar to my rehab after injury on the job. Had to learn to walk. Wow, so that was pretty bad. Would you prefer to be right or serene? Oh man, James, you gotta talk, man. We gotta hear you talk more, buddy. You get some cool stuff. It's the Entrepreneur's Manual. Yes, okay, so you guys ready for this box? You wanna see what Paul said to me? Okay, now I gotta change my screen here because I wanna see the camera angle and I can't see it the way I gotta set it right now. It's like I got some notes in front of me. All right, so here's the big box. Paul said it to me. My address right here in San Diego, where is it, right here in San Diego, he sent me this nice box. He spent a whopping $21.90 to send me this. Very kind of you, Paul, very, very kind of you. So I'm gonna open up the box. We're gonna see what we got here. I got this nice letter here from Paul. Let's see, let's see here. It says, hey JR, just wanted to show you some of the progress we are making. Man, I love it. I love seeing people make progress, guys. And any of you can send me some of your progress. It can be a note, it can be an email, whatever. While it seems to be taking forever, we are at least moving forward. I love that thought. I love that, okay? I wanna thank you and Jessica for all your help along the way. And if you don't know Jessica, guys, that's my wife. She has a great channel, Jessica Elfischer, the furry family coach on YouTube. She has Facebook groups. She has a DIY channel. It's called the Homesweet Farmhouse. You can check that out too. I hope you enjoy the shirts and books. I really think the Vince Flynn book hits home today. Wishing you guys good luck on the move and having moved a few times in the past few years. I realized what a pain in the ass he could be. You're the Goods brother, Paul Shabab. There it is, guys. There's that nice note he sent me right there. I'm gonna set that aside and I'm gonna pull out the first article here. I'm gonna move this box over here just because I don't have room to show his merch. I wanna be able to show his merch here. So what do we got? Check this out, guys. You know you want this. You know you want this. Check out that shirt. It says Fire Department. He's made this really cool design. The design is on the front side. But look at that, man. You know you want that. And I think that was, what was that, gosh, American Firefighter's Gear. American Firefighter's Gear. You can actually, you know, hold it up a little closer. You can actually go to Facebook and see his Facebook group page. Nice shirt there, guys. You can get that from Paul. All right, and he's got more. There's more. Hang on, hang on. Don't go anywhere. He's got this style. And this one here is really cool, too. Can you see this, guys? This is American Firefighter's Gear. Look at this. He made up all this stuff, guys. He created this. This did not exist until Paul came along, okay? Check that out. Really nice shirt. It's printed on the front, okay? It's got a nice emblem on there. It's got some flames on there. Really cool stuff. American Firefighter's Gear. Go to his Facebook page. Check it out. And then the last one he's got here. And this, oh, this is front and back, guys. This is front and back. So the front says American Firefighter's Gear on the front. And then on the back, it's got this. It says, what does it say? I'm trying to hold this shirt and look at the reflection. You can't train hard enough to do a job that can kill you. Wow, check that out, guys. Check that out. Pretty cool stuff. So he was nice enough to send me those. And that's not all he sent me. He's a generous guy. He sent me a couple of books, right? The first one is called Vince Flynn Total Power right here. He sent me that book, very nice of him. Very nice book he sent me. Gotta check that out. And what else? He sent me another one. And it's Michelle Malkin. Who built that? All inspiring stories of American tankpreneurs. Tankpreneurs. I think I'm saying that right, okay? And then there she is on the back, right there. Pretty cool stuff. All this came from Paul, Paul my man, Paul. So let me read you these comments. Superb, Richard Brown says. Paul says, thanks gang for all the feedback. Hey guys, put some comments in there for Paul. Look at his cool merchandise. Let him know how cool this stuff is. Paul says, looking forward to Jessica's next video on dog foods. Yeah, she's got, well, she's got a live on Sunday, Paul. You really should attend. And that may be the one that you're talking about. I'm not sure. And I don't have that up right now, so I will look it up. But check out her live on Sundays. They're always good. They always have a nice crowd always answering cool questions. Richard G. Brown, great group. Thank you so much, Richard. And Paul's group, he probably means Paul's group too, right? Probably does. Make sure you go and like Paul's page. American firefighter gear, American firefighter gear, American firefighter gear. I'm gonna get it right. Okay guys, I went a little bit over today. I hope you don't mind. We were just having a good time. Paul says he's using POD and no inventory. So he didn't have to buy inventory guys. The stuff that I'm teaching on this channel, this stuff works. You can go do this yourself, okay? You don't have to spend any money for inventory. These things he has, he can put them up on sale online and not by any inventory. And then when somebody buys it, then he pays for it. But he's already collected the money so he's not out of anything. Anybody can do this stuff. Anybody, right? But here's the thing, Paul did something. Paul came up with a design. Paul actually did something. Knowing you can do it and actually doing it, well, those are two different things. Those are two different things. Hey, it's been a great session today. I think so. If you think so, you know, put a comment in that chat section. If you're watching this afterwards, put it in the comment section. Don't forget to subscribe. I keep looking at my bell here. I don't forget. Don't forget to subscribe. Hit that subscribe button down there. Turn it from red to gray. If it's red, that means it's a warning. You need to hit the subscribe button, okay? And then click the bell. Turn on all bell notifications so you're notified every time I go live or what? I upload a video and I just finished editing 12 of them today. Now I gotta write scripts for next week and start all over again. That's just, that's what you gotta do as an entrepreneur, man. It never stops. It just never does. I love having you guys here, man. It's really been awesome. If you like this session, put a comment in that chat section there. Let me know how you feel about it. If you have an idea for more training and somebody was saying stuff about YouTube, I'm gonna be doing some more YouTube training because somebody gave that suggestion the other day on training on YouTube. YouTube is a funny animal. It took me a while to figure out some of this stuff, but I'm slowly figuring it out. I really would like to hit that 5,000 this weekend, guys. If you would share this video, get your friends and family to subscribe to my channel if they have interest in this. If they don't, don't have them do it. Only people who will actually come back and watch the videos. Let me get another sip before I get out of here. You guys have been awesome. Tomorrow I rest. I rest at least on YouTube. I'm probably gonna still be some work. But tomorrow I will not be live, but Monday I will be. If you have ideas for subjects, I pick all my subjects normally on Sunday and then I schedule them throughout the week. So if you have some ideas for subjects that you'd like to see me cover next week, feel free to put it in there. I'm live on Monday through Friday, Saturday. Monday through Saturday. Monday through Friday at 9 a.m. Pacific time. And Saturday at 10 a.m. Pacific time. That will probably change when I hit Texas. So just giving you guys a warning, it's gonna be a two-hour difference. So I'll probably be doing it two hours earlier, I would imagine. I think it's two hours. Pretty sure it is, yeah. So I'll be doing that. James Breen, hi JR. How about making a decision to grow your beard for six months? Oh my God James, you have no idea how fast my beard grows. In time the itching will go away and you won't be aware of your whiskers. I've had a beard for 44 years. Wow, 44 years. Man, you're tough. I don't know if I'm that tough. It just gets, you know what bugs me a lot? James is when I eat and food gets in it. And I feel like I gotta wash my whole face after I eat, that's, maybe I'm stabbing the whole thing. I'm not getting it quite right. I'm getting the fork in my chin and stuff. I don't know. But if I'm eating like ribs or something like that, it gets all in it, drives me crazy. For first small group, LOL. Thank you Richard, I appreciate that. And yeah, there's something to be said for a smaller group of people as opposed to a whole bunch of random people in there. But we've got a pretty tight knit group here. Okay, we're kind of guys that are alike. And I'm just kind of sharing with you same stuff I'm doing. You know, we're just guys that are alike. Peace and blessing always everyone. When you write script, do you use a template? Yeah, kinda, yeah, kinda. Not necessarily a template. I like to say certain things in the beginning of my video. I like to say certain things in the end of my video. I like to tell people upfront what the video is about and what they're gonna learn when they come out the end of the video. That way they can make a decision if they wanna watch it or not. And I pretty much do that with my lives too. I tell you what I'm gonna talk about that day in advance, that way you know. Do you wanna waste your time or not? Do you wanna spend your time and get something out of it? Your time is super valuable, super valuable. And let me explain something to you about your time. Nobody's time is more important than yours. Nobody's. I don't care if they're a president. I don't care if they run some corporation. That is their time in their life and your time in your life is equally as important. So don't ever think that somebody else's time is more important. And I will tell you, I'm brilliant. Before I get off of this, I'm kind of on a tangent now. When I select a new doctor, you know, and I have to do that soon, I'm going to Texas. I will interview two or three doctors, okay? I don't know how many of you guys do this. And I'll sit down with them. I'll say, hey, look, I know you're an important person. Okay, what you do is really important. You take care of people's health. And I have this talk, I really do. And I say, but I wanna explain to you, my time is really super important too. And I just wanna know upfront, when I come in for a 10 a.m. appointment, do I have to sit around for a half hour, 45 minutes, or will you be ready at 10 a.m.? If you're not, it's one of two things. You don't care about my time, okay? You've over scheduled your schedule or you had an emergency. Now, every now and then you can have an emergency. But if I come in here, and it's like every time I come in, it's a half hour, 45 minute wait, I won't remain your patient. And it's better that you tell me upfront, if you always run behind, and that way I can move on to a different doctor. Is that fair enough? And I actually have that conversation, okay? And then I follow up on that. If I go to that doctor and they get me in on time, like they say they're gonna do it, when I sit in there, I say, hey, I appreciate you respecting my time and get me in on time. Now, what this does to them, it sets up this thing about, oh, Mr. Fisher's here, he is really serious about his time, I really gotta get to see him. So, it gives me a little bit of an edge in dealing with doctors. And you know what, I mean it. If I go to a doctor and I've gotta wait 30 or 45 minutes each time, I drop that doctor and I move on. Because he's over scheduled himself, okay? Or he doesn't know how to handle his own time. And that doctor is no more important than me. And certainly, their time is no more important. And if you're calculating value, I make more than most doctors do by far. So yeah, if you're just saying money-wise, my time's just as important if not more. So, your time is important, guys. No matter how much money you make, no matter what you do, your time is important. Remember that, don't dwell in the past anymore. Look at these five things that I've given you today, okay, and put them into practice. I put them all into the chat section. 44 years, nine months. Wow, long time. Thanks, everyone. Paul says, same thing here. Thanks, everybody. You guys have a great day. I appreciate you being here. I will see.
