00:00:00.580 --> 00:00:02.487
Welcome to Entrepreneur Secrets.

00:00:02.487 --> 00:00:06.426
I'm your host, clay Neumeier, with my beautiful partner as always, joseph Lucani.

00:00:06.426 --> 00:00:13.109
We're here to help you master sales, simplify pricing and deliver consistent, premium level service.

00:00:13.109 --> 00:00:15.628
And boy, do we have some topics to help you with that today.

00:00:15.628 --> 00:00:26.704
First, I wanna let you know if you're listening to this, you literally just missed out on about seven minutes of pre-show in our Facebook group, the Entrepreneur Success Club, and we were live there.

00:00:26.704 --> 00:00:27.789
But we're moving on now.

00:00:27.789 --> 00:00:29.426
We've got a few things to discuss.

00:00:30.542 --> 00:00:35.609
One little problem came in from the live wall that we're going to let Joseph run away with here for a minute.

00:00:35.609 --> 00:00:38.789
Jason Broggy, did I say that?

00:00:38.789 --> 00:00:39.329
Right, jason?

00:00:39.329 --> 00:00:42.063
I'm sorry if I messed that up, just a tough install.

00:00:42.063 --> 00:00:45.932
He says rescheduling appointments because of being chained to the job site.

00:00:45.932 --> 00:01:00.722
We're going to touch on this and then we're going to tell you more later in the show about why you need to suck before you ever get strong, and we're going to tie it to Joseph's story who, as we said already, definitely sucked at 1.2, even though now we call him the sale bot.

00:01:00.722 --> 00:01:04.150
Joseph, the sales bot Lucani, fire away, brother I love it.

00:01:04.331 --> 00:01:25.989
So, jason, I want to speak directly to you on this, because this is something that really hurts my soul, because I've been there where you recognize that I have to do large projects in order to pay my bills, but you're so chained to them that you actually can't ever take a break away to deliver the service to a wider multitude of people.

00:01:25.989 --> 00:01:29.885
So you're stuck between am I doing projects, am I doing service?

00:01:29.885 --> 00:01:39.250
So one thing that I found that really, really, really helped in this particular scenario was creating what's known as the first class membership pass.

00:01:39.250 --> 00:01:47.147
Now, if you're not familiar with what that is, I'm going to give you a quick little highlight and I'll describe exactly how you can use this to leverage where you're available.

00:01:47.147 --> 00:01:51.356
And where you're not familiar with what that is, I'm going to give you a quick little highlight and I'll describe exactly how you can use this to leverage where you're available and where you're not.

00:01:51.376 --> 00:01:51.798
Does that make sense?

00:01:51.817 --> 00:01:52.319
Oh yeah, let's go for it.

00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:52.700
Awesome, all right.

00:01:52.700 --> 00:02:03.072
So the first class membership is it's actually a concept I adopted from HVAC trainers, because have you noticed that electricians, we very rarely have club memberships?

00:02:03.072 --> 00:02:19.330
It's almost always an HVAC or a plumbing company that says hey, we're going to come every year and we're going to tune up your furnace and we're going to check your water softener or water heater and fill the anode rods, and there's always something that they're doing, but we can do the exact same thing.

00:02:19.852 --> 00:02:23.564
We're not sorcerers and we should 100%.

00:02:24.225 --> 00:02:36.312
So the first class membership creates a group of tangible things that every single client, regardless of their financial background or their demographic or where they live, would appreciate.

00:02:36.312 --> 00:02:41.692
The first is, when you're a first class member, you get what's known as the front of the line pass.

00:02:41.692 --> 00:02:51.045
For anyone who's been to Disneyland, a good way of describing it is hey, you have the option of either waiting on line behind everyone else to ride Space Mountain or you show your wristband.

00:02:51.045 --> 00:02:52.860
You go right to the front of the line, which we'd prefer.

00:02:52.860 --> 00:02:58.417
The second is letting people know that, believe it or not, you have.

00:02:58.417 --> 00:03:06.294
The only people that have access to after-hour service are our club members, so you can actually start your day.

00:03:06.294 --> 00:03:13.206
If you're normally you're nine to five or eight to five, you can do seven to seven, exclusively for those kinds of clientele.

00:03:13.206 --> 00:03:22.968
So the kind of person that wants to use you may be like you know what, I don't get out of work until five o'clock, but I make so much during the day that you know what.

00:03:22.968 --> 00:03:25.187
It's worth paying a little bit extra for you to come in the evening.

00:03:25.187 --> 00:03:27.377
It's worth you coming a little bit before I go to work.

00:03:27.377 --> 00:03:28.980
Yeah, okay, I'll take that pass.

00:03:28.980 --> 00:03:44.991
The next is letting someone know I'm not going to nickel and dime you on any kind of dispatch or diagnostic fees for an entire year, no matter what happens, I'm going to make sure that as many times as you call me for this year it's carte blanche for me to show up.

00:03:44.991 --> 00:03:46.674
Don't even worry about it.

00:03:46.674 --> 00:03:50.344
We'll charge when it comes time to actually do some work, but for now I've got you.

00:03:50.344 --> 00:04:01.965
And then, lastly, is you're setting them up with a whole home electrical safety inspection every single year, whether that's in your winter season when you know it's slowest, or one year after they've purchased it.

00:04:02.825 --> 00:04:08.354
Now, I know I gave you a bunch of different things, but how can you use those to actually leverage your situation right now?

00:04:08.354 --> 00:04:16.380
Well, the first is saying if you're chained to a job, you're kind of stuck in the sack of saying you know what?

00:04:16.380 --> 00:04:17.403
I'm turning away calls.

00:04:17.403 --> 00:04:30.016
But what you could do is, if you're offering club memberships, you can say at this point, because of our services in such high demand, the only customers we're taking on right now are club members.

00:04:30.016 --> 00:04:31.300
Are you a club member?

00:04:31.300 --> 00:04:44.427
So any incoming call immediately becomes prioritized, as right now we are so busy, we are in such demand right now that the only people we're serving are those already in our club membership.

00:04:44.427 --> 00:04:45.988
Are you a club member?

00:04:47.290 --> 00:04:53.384
If they do want to be a club member, what you can do is you already have the enhanced services hours that you can provide them.

00:04:53.384 --> 00:05:03.802
You can say first-class visits, get the next available appointment, which means you're willing to bump any non-club member out of the way in order to service them.

00:05:03.802 --> 00:05:12.043
Now, once again, if you're physically chained to the job and you're like I cannot leave and they will literally fire me if I leave, then you know what.

00:05:12.043 --> 00:05:17.444
We can always do this in stages and we'll find a way to get you out of those situations in the future.

00:05:17.444 --> 00:05:22.060
But for now you can say not a problem, because our service is in such high demand.

00:05:22.060 --> 00:05:23.223
This is what we can do.

00:05:23.223 --> 00:05:32.543
I can either move you to the next available spot tomorrow morning at 8 am, or I can show up before our day starts, or I can show up after our day starts.

00:05:32.543 --> 00:05:34.750
These are only available to first-class members.

00:05:34.750 --> 00:05:37.704
Which would you prefer Now, jason?

00:05:38.206 --> 00:05:50.165
If you were to tell someone that you can come before or after your day and that because you're so busy, that's why you're only available in those hours, what does that say about your level of service.

00:05:50.165 --> 00:05:54.173
That's pretty damn high, right?

00:05:54.173 --> 00:06:01.213
Because very rarely does anyone ever say because I'm in such demand I can't cut to you.

00:06:01.213 --> 00:06:07.543
It's usually I'm stuck on a job, I'm doing a cut in, I'm in an attic, I don't know when I'll get out.

00:06:07.543 --> 00:06:09.274
That doesn't sound valuable.

00:06:09.274 --> 00:06:10.661
That sounds like you can't manage your time.

00:06:10.661 --> 00:06:16.913
But if it's because so many customers are banging down your door now there's a reason.

00:06:16.913 --> 00:06:21.093
There's a specific enhanced reason for why they want to call you.

00:06:21.093 --> 00:06:23.300
Man, he's got to be doing something right.

00:06:23.300 --> 00:06:24.362
People are banging on his door.

00:06:25.024 --> 00:06:26.608
So, yeah, what's your next available appointment?

00:06:26.608 --> 00:06:29.480
It doesn't have to be next day either.

00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:35.713
If your soonest appointment is Monday at 8 am, that's truly the soonest you have.

00:06:35.713 --> 00:06:46.375
You're allowed to offer that you could say right now the soonest first class appointment we have, because we are literally back to back from all the customers from the emergency service calls we're dealing with right now.

00:06:46.375 --> 00:06:48.781
The soonest we have is Monday at 7 am.

00:06:48.781 --> 00:06:51.428
If that doesn't work, I can also do Monday at 10 am.

00:06:51.428 --> 00:06:52.572
Which would you prefer?

00:06:52.572 --> 00:06:55.764
Get them on the calendar.

00:06:55.764 --> 00:06:58.932
When you get them on the calendar, you show up with your A game.

00:06:58.932 --> 00:07:01.423
It doesn't matter what the install is doing.

00:07:01.423 --> 00:07:04.512
It matters that your customers see you as valuable.

00:07:04.512 --> 00:07:11.730
When they see you as valuable, they will become more accommodating of your schedule, because when you're scarce, you're valuable.

00:07:11.730 --> 00:07:16.021
When you're not scarce, you're a commodity which would you rather be Jason.

00:07:18.206 --> 00:07:21.793
Valuable Ba-ba-bam Love it.

00:07:21.793 --> 00:07:26.305
Okay, here's how I'm going to tie in our topic for today to that little Q&A.

00:07:26.305 --> 00:07:35.346
If you're going to start this, jason and I strongly suggest you do this first class thing it begins at the front door.

00:07:35.346 --> 00:07:36.732
It's what we call our front door.

00:07:36.732 --> 00:07:48.973
Actually, you guys, this is something we give away, this little script that your CSR can be running, or even yourself, if you're still on the phones and if you typed in front door, we can actually hook you up with that little bit.

00:07:48.973 --> 00:07:52.911
In fact, when you came into this group, someone was supposed to offer that to you.

00:07:52.911 --> 00:07:55.125
So if they haven't yet, please type it in.

00:07:55.125 --> 00:07:56.007
It's owed to you.

00:07:56.007 --> 00:07:57.290
Free value piece.

00:07:57.290 --> 00:07:58.473
Here's the thing.

00:07:58.473 --> 00:08:01.649
As always, we're trying to get people to take action.

00:08:01.649 --> 00:08:03.723
Why we talked about it?

00:08:03.723 --> 00:08:08.983
It yesterday just saying pretty big podcast yesterday on exactly that.

00:08:08.983 --> 00:08:13.894
And you're going to suck it first, and that's how this started.

00:08:13.894 --> 00:08:15.502
You are going to suck it first.

00:08:15.502 --> 00:08:18.329
I sucked it first, joseph sucked it first.

00:08:18.329 --> 00:08:20.261
You're not born good at anything.

00:08:20.261 --> 00:08:22.064
That's false.

00:08:23.086 --> 00:08:27.915
If you've been watching the Michael Jordan series, anyone watch that.

00:08:27.915 --> 00:08:31.670
Go ahead and put a one in the chat if you have guys, but I'm going to say it anyway.

00:08:31.670 --> 00:08:33.583
I can't remember the actual name of it.

00:08:33.583 --> 00:08:38.481
The Last Chance, maybe, but Michael Jordan, last Dance, last Dance.

00:08:38.481 --> 00:08:40.649
Yeah, have you watched this too?

00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:53.386
Can't say that I have, but that's mostly because I've got two kids under three and almost every hour is me desperately looking for sleep point is this michael jordan sucked at first too, man.

00:08:53.586 --> 00:08:54.349
Thank you, louise.

00:08:54.349 --> 00:08:56.595
Last dance he sucked.

00:08:56.595 --> 00:09:12.860
And the only reason he became the greatest is because, as he got better, his older brother used to kick his ass every time he won and I'm not kidding, not meaning like pushed him, I mean he beat the shit out of him.

00:09:12.860 --> 00:09:13.260
If you win, you lose.

00:09:13.260 --> 00:09:18.323
And in his young adolescent mind it spun and became I can't lose.

00:09:18.323 --> 00:09:21.905
He has to win this show.

00:09:21.905 --> 00:09:23.986
It's actually sad if you watch this.

00:09:23.986 --> 00:09:27.208
Good, jason, glad to see you reviewed that front door script the other day.

00:09:27.208 --> 00:09:29.250
Reviewing is part of the battle.

00:09:29.250 --> 00:09:30.191
That's what we're talking about.

00:09:30.191 --> 00:09:33.832
It's going to suck at first, but if you'll use it, you'll get better at it.

00:09:33.832 --> 00:09:40.917
So this guy, considered one of the greatest athletes on the planet, definitely sucked at first.

00:09:40.917 --> 00:09:48.485
Here's what made him great he was committed because of the stuff he went through with his brother and his dad.

00:09:48.485 --> 00:09:50.072
Losing was not okay.

00:09:50.072 --> 00:09:51.038
It was not an option.

00:09:51.038 --> 00:09:52.842
You ever had something like that, joseph.

00:09:54.587 --> 00:10:02.530
Man, when we talk a little bit more about it tomorrow, let me just say that I can entirely relate with the feeling of I can't lose.

00:10:02.530 --> 00:10:04.301
There's no other choice.

00:10:04.301 --> 00:10:05.345
It's do or die.

00:10:05.345 --> 00:10:06.500
I have to make this happen.

00:10:06.500 --> 00:10:09.067
So yeah, that hits close to home.

00:10:09.668 --> 00:10:10.229
Absolutely.

00:10:10.229 --> 00:10:27.225
And that's a little nugget, guys, a little breadcrumb to let you know that again, tomorrow we're going to go through Joseph's story and let you guys in a bit behind the scenes on what happened and what caused him to learn and develop the sales process to that level, because it's actually quite incredible.

00:10:27.225 --> 00:10:29.991
If you've seen him stumped, then you've got one up on me.

00:10:29.991 --> 00:10:31.062
I haven't seen it yet.

00:10:31.062 --> 00:10:33.686
All right, no, thank you.

00:10:33.686 --> 00:10:35.509
Yeah, exactly.

00:10:35.509 --> 00:10:40.023
So what it takes to be strong at something is what we're talking about here.

00:10:40.023 --> 00:10:52.264
It takes a process, it takes repetition, it takes a process, it takes repetition and it takes refinement.

00:10:52.264 --> 00:10:53.368
If you have those three, you will win.

00:10:53.368 --> 00:10:54.753
In fact, it's the law of success.

00:10:54.753 --> 00:10:58.903
You will succeed faster than anyone just through that trial and error.

00:10:58.903 --> 00:11:03.493
It's actually the first thing they taught us in school.

00:11:03.493 --> 00:11:07.168
Did you ever have a kindergarten teacher, joseph?

00:11:08.250 --> 00:11:10.014
Yeah, I did, me too I remember this is.

00:11:10.014 --> 00:11:10.474
Coral.

00:11:10.474 --> 00:11:12.116
I remember her back to this day.

00:11:12.457 --> 00:11:13.058
You got her name.

00:11:13.058 --> 00:11:21.496
I don't remember mine, but it's nice to know that all the way from Vancouver, canada, to New York, united States, kindergartners are learning this lesson.

00:11:21.496 --> 00:11:24.327
I'm sure you'll agree Mistakes are how we learn.

00:11:26.414 --> 00:11:28.020
I'm sure you'll agree, mistakes are how we learn.

00:11:28.020 --> 00:11:32.230
I didn't have as nice of a kindergarten teacher, but you know what You're right.

00:11:32.230 --> 00:11:33.375
It's one of those things that is a hundred percent true.

00:11:33.375 --> 00:11:35.985
The only way you're ever going to learn is by failing.

00:11:35.985 --> 00:11:42.005
There was an expression that I was taught when I was younger and that really has carried me through a lot of things.

00:11:42.005 --> 00:11:52.779
I considered mistakes in my life, and that's this good judgment comes from experience, but experience itself comes from bad judgment.

00:11:52.779 --> 00:12:03.736
Sometimes you need to learn what not to do from firsthand experience so that you can say in the future oh, I recognize the situation and I'm going to make better calls the next time.

00:12:03.736 --> 00:12:11.951
So anyone who knows what they're doing very likely has a very big track record of failure, and that's totally okay.

00:12:13.073 --> 00:12:13.274
I do.

00:12:13.274 --> 00:12:29.562
Just like most, though, I was held back not by what our kindergarten teacher taught us that mistakes are how we learn but what our education system then showed us and trained out of us, which was not that mistakes are how we learn, but what our education system then showed us and trained out of us, which was not that.

00:12:29.562 --> 00:12:30.104
Mistakes are how we learn.

00:12:30.104 --> 00:12:35.201
There was several pivotal moments in my education, coming up through the teens and as a young adult.

00:12:35.341 --> 00:12:38.870
I'm sure you guys can agree where marks were on the line.

00:12:38.870 --> 00:12:47.249
If you were an honor roll student, you needed that for a scholarship not a lot of us in the electrical world, but some of us for sure.

00:12:47.249 --> 00:12:50.114
Great, awesome, right.

00:12:50.114 --> 00:12:53.259
Uh, the subpar mark was not okay, was it?

00:12:53.259 --> 00:13:03.592
If you were on the line of failing, the subpar mark was not okay, was it in fact, that marking system may have been the very thing that pushed you to drop out.

00:13:03.592 --> 00:13:06.248
If you're like me, that marking system may have been the very thing that pushed you to drop out.

00:13:06.248 --> 00:13:16.692
If you're like me, grade 11 education went to work right, still, by the way, not to toot my own horn here too much but by the way, later got accepted to a master's degree in business.

00:13:16.692 --> 00:13:19.376
So what's wrong here?

00:13:19.376 --> 00:13:20.846
It doesn't mean we're stupid.

00:13:20.846 --> 00:13:32.715
What does mean is that an education system gave us an example of something that is in contrary is contrary to what they taught us in the first place.

00:13:34.298 --> 00:13:34.740
Mistakes.

00:13:34.740 --> 00:13:37.547
It's contrary to human psychology.

00:13:37.547 --> 00:13:39.471
It's contrary to so many things.

00:13:39.471 --> 00:13:45.393
You need to be able to fail, because in order to fail, that means that you had to try something.

00:13:45.393 --> 00:13:51.336
And can you ever fail, can you ever succeed without also trying no?

00:13:51.336 --> 00:13:55.653
And who tries everything and succeeds 100% every time?

00:13:55.653 --> 00:13:58.519
First try no one.

00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:02.816
So you would think that it would make more sense to say we learn through our mistakes.

00:14:02.816 --> 00:14:10.147
There's really a concept I found, which is there's only two outcomes to every situation You're either going to win or you're going to learn.

00:14:10.147 --> 00:14:18.874
There is no win and lose, because in losing you learn better and more concrete lessons than you ever would if all you did was win.

00:14:19.434 --> 00:14:23.687
Yeah, totally, and this kind of ties into yesterday a bit, guys.

00:14:23.687 --> 00:14:32.878
But again, you need a process, you need repetition and you need refinement of that process to make it work for you to become an all-star.

00:14:32.878 --> 00:14:47.405
So here's what we kind of see often adopt a process.

00:14:47.405 --> 00:14:48.227
I'm going to learn from others.

00:14:48.227 --> 00:14:48.668
They see the process.

00:14:48.668 --> 00:14:49.912
It scares them a little bit because it's got to be new.

00:14:49.912 --> 00:14:50.413
You have to suck at it.

00:14:50.413 --> 00:14:58.436
You have to be willing to go in front of the mirror and read this script to yourself to make it work for real with a client.

00:14:58.436 --> 00:15:01.866
And if you'll do that that counts as repetition.

00:15:01.866 --> 00:15:05.631
And if you'll do that you'll learn a thing or two, even just in the mirror, won't?

00:15:05.653 --> 00:15:12.167
you can I touch on that you'll refine it and you'll become great at it and it will work.

00:15:12.167 --> 00:15:16.256
And something I think we may have said this yesterday right, don't tell us it won't work.

00:15:16.256 --> 00:15:17.047
Show us.

00:15:17.047 --> 00:15:23.230
And something amazing happens when you try to show someone something doesn't work, it starts working.

00:15:23.250 --> 00:15:25.294
Run the play, run the play and then tell me it doesn't work.

00:15:25.294 --> 00:15:25.655
It starts working.

00:15:25.655 --> 00:15:26.136
Run the play.

00:15:26.136 --> 00:15:28.427
Run the play and then tell me it doesn't work.

00:15:29.350 --> 00:15:31.115
All right, you ready to talk a bit about?

00:15:31.115 --> 00:15:33.926
Give a little teaser how bad you sucked in the beginning.

00:15:35.208 --> 00:15:41.509
Yeah, I was going to say now you guys will learn that I have my reasons why I sucked so much, and that'll be more tomorrow.

00:15:41.509 --> 00:15:48.745
But let me just tell you that I couldn't close a door, and that'll be more tomorrow, but let me just tell you that I couldn't close a door.

00:15:48.745 --> 00:15:56.986
It was pathetic on the most personal level.

00:15:56.986 --> 00:15:59.874
And the thing was is that it wasn't just on opportunity calls, it wasn't like oh Joe, just can't sell a generator.

00:15:59.874 --> 00:16:04.389
No, I couldn't close a service call Like I.

00:16:04.389 --> 00:16:09.975
Literally you could have no power and I would leave and you'd still have no power.

00:16:09.975 --> 00:16:11.990
That's how bad I was.

00:16:12.110 --> 00:16:16.832
I shouldn't laugh the only reason you laugh is because that's a drastic difference from today.

00:16:18.167 --> 00:16:18.850
But that's the thing.

00:16:18.850 --> 00:16:21.634
It's not that I am anything special.

00:16:21.634 --> 00:16:24.052
There is nothing special about me.

00:16:24.052 --> 00:16:25.927
All it is is commitment to process and the ability of saying I am anything special.

00:16:25.927 --> 00:16:26.155
There is nothing special about me.

00:16:26.155 --> 00:16:29.631
All it is is commitment to process and the ability of saying I refuse to die.

00:16:29.631 --> 00:16:43.158
And maybe that's giving too much away, but the thought is that I will not allow myself to fail and if I do fail, I'm going to learn a lesson from it that I wouldn't have been able to learn if I had succeeded.

00:16:43.158 --> 00:16:49.837
And it's sometimes having that grace of saying that's okay, as long as you're learning a lesson, you can grow from it.

00:16:50.705 --> 00:16:55.826
In fact, to illustrate that, I want you to repeat what you said to one of our clients in RSS earlier.

00:16:55.826 --> 00:16:59.917
I think it was something to the dune of like there's just monkeys and percussion in here.

00:17:06.825 --> 00:17:07.407
Yeah, I was going to say so.

00:17:07.407 --> 00:17:14.354
When people people may look at me, I mean I have the title of the sales bot and it's funny because I've actually been called that ever since I was in the trades Like it's actually something that's stuck with me on almost every industry.

00:17:14.354 --> 00:17:20.807
It's the robot, the sales bot, the machine, and you know that's for a lot of different reasons which we're going to talk about.

00:17:20.807 --> 00:17:28.977
But if you look at me, you may think that it's like some encyclopedia that you could just pull out sales scripts, but really my head is empty.

00:17:28.977 --> 00:17:36.438
It's like, really the closest comparison is there's a monkey doing jumping jacks and banging a cymbal and that's really all it is.

00:17:36.438 --> 00:17:41.336
If anyone ever seen the Simpsons episode of what's going on in Homer's brain, that's literally it.

00:17:41.336 --> 00:17:47.425
And it's okay, you know what?

00:17:47.425 --> 00:17:48.868
Because I don't want to come across that I'm better than any of you.

00:17:48.868 --> 00:17:55.448
I want you to see how weak I am, because if someone like me can do it, why the fuck can't you guys?

00:17:55.448 --> 00:18:00.075
I know you can do it superpower man.

00:18:00.615 --> 00:18:03.746
So again, that leads us right back to what we're talking about.

00:18:03.746 --> 00:18:11.180
There's a process that process that Joseph spent a lot of years dialing in, decoding HVAC and plumbing training.

00:18:11.180 --> 00:18:24.058
Seven years of coaching yourself right With your former mentor, yep, decoding that information, recoding it in a way that was useful for electrical right.

00:18:24.224 --> 00:18:43.353
Stop trying to sell capacitors and contactors, contactor coils even I've never I've never sold a water softener in my life, but I can tell you exactly when you're supposed to be changing the anode rods right it's like great, like I'm so glad to know about this information right and in the whole time you're.

00:18:43.933 --> 00:18:45.496
Why is this not being done?

00:18:45.496 --> 00:18:48.626
Why is no one have this training for me specific?

00:18:50.151 --> 00:18:57.527
Maybe the electricians are the redheaded self-child I mean, for anyone listening, do you ever feel like that, that like people just don't want to work with you because you're a sparky?

00:18:57.527 --> 00:19:03.212
It's like what you can't sell an air conditioning system, therefore we're not going to make enough money to make it worthwhile to invest in us.

00:19:03.212 --> 00:19:06.285
Like why is that a thing system, therefore we're not going to make enough money to make it worthwhile to invest in us.

00:19:10.325 --> 00:19:14.250
Why is that a thing which, by the way, is just inflated revenue numbers because of distribution and markup, distributorship.

00:19:14.250 --> 00:19:17.719
Right, james says yes, mr bliss, thank you.

00:19:17.719 --> 00:19:19.703
Right, you're not alone, brother.

00:19:19.703 --> 00:19:32.108
We are with you two master electricians with business addictions, fed up with an industry not having training available to you guys to help you with a process that actually speaks to what you're trying to install and service.

00:19:32.108 --> 00:19:36.729
It speaks to the needs of the clients that you're trying to build relationships with.

00:19:36.729 --> 00:19:43.688
Why has it been this hard?

00:19:43.688 --> 00:19:44.690
I do not know, but we stand against it.

00:19:44.690 --> 00:19:46.413
That's why we're here five days a week trying to help you guys.

00:19:46.413 --> 00:19:49.886
Here's the thing, though you got to take the process, you got to repeat it.

00:19:49.886 --> 00:19:53.376
That's what's created this wealth of knowledge right in front of us.

00:19:53.376 --> 00:19:55.690
He developed the process, he repeated it.

00:19:55.690 --> 00:20:00.362
As you said on the RSS earlier, the only thing driving those monkeys and these symbols.

00:20:00.362 --> 00:20:06.954
The reason it's successful is because of the process and the repetition, also known as muscle memory.

00:20:08.076 --> 00:20:15.298
The brain is no different to muscle than a bicep or a calf or a quad or your back, anything you think about it.

00:20:15.298 --> 00:20:17.151
You say how do I get a six pack?

00:20:17.151 --> 00:20:30.056
You train right, you put the right material into your body, you diet the right way, your mindset is about it, you read books on dieting, you have a routine to stretch and work and stretch.

00:20:30.056 --> 00:20:35.814
There's things you do and through that process, eventually you're ripped right.

00:20:35.814 --> 00:20:39.400
But why can't we take that same concept to the brain?

00:20:39.400 --> 00:20:41.607
I remember looking at it.

00:20:41.607 --> 00:20:43.172
My body was always in great shape.

00:20:43.172 --> 00:20:46.046
I did bodybuilding ever since I was a kid.

00:20:46.046 --> 00:20:49.135
This muscle wasn't okay in my mind.

00:20:49.135 --> 00:20:56.093
This was the muscle I needed to fix and if I didn't fix this muscle, there was a real, real problem heading into my future.

00:20:56.093 --> 00:20:58.498
So that's why I want to do this.

00:20:59.204 --> 00:20:59.487
That's why I?

00:20:59.507 --> 00:21:02.826
want to share this message with so many of you, because I don't want you going down my path.

00:21:04.028 --> 00:21:05.391
Yeah, yeah, me as well.

00:21:05.391 --> 00:21:06.211
I love that.

00:21:06.211 --> 00:21:06.792
I love that.

00:21:06.792 --> 00:21:07.835
Share Bragger.

00:21:07.835 --> 00:21:10.164
Yeah, hey, here's the thing.

00:21:10.164 --> 00:21:15.756
You guys seen, the matrix, you remember when Neo gets plugged in and he learns jujitsu.

00:21:15.756 --> 00:21:17.878
Next thing, you know he's a fourth degree black belt.

00:21:17.878 --> 00:21:21.089
I love that scene.

00:21:21.184 --> 00:21:27.893
The only piece of that that's untrue is that it was done like a pill, just like the red or the blue pill they started with.

00:21:27.893 --> 00:21:31.836
So immediate gratification and muscle memory.

00:21:31.836 --> 00:21:35.993
There's no physical way to do it without physically doing it.

00:21:35.993 --> 00:21:48.998
And the very things that we fear about adapting to a new process and failing in it, making mistakes so that we grow, the very things we fear are what drive us later to be so successful at it.

00:21:48.998 --> 00:21:53.212
You need that experience of wow I sucked at this.

00:21:53.212 --> 00:21:54.234
That was embarrassing.

00:21:54.234 --> 00:21:56.675
So that later, that's what drives you to the gym to work out.

00:21:56.675 --> 00:21:57.885
Later, that's what drives you to the gym to work out.

00:21:57.885 --> 00:22:00.656
That's what drives you to the mirror to run the script.

00:22:00.656 --> 00:22:05.151
That's what drives you to keep going on this thing and become so proficient, please.

00:22:06.153 --> 00:22:08.646
I want to just add something to it because that's along the lines.

00:22:08.646 --> 00:22:11.494
Is anyone I want?

00:22:11.494 --> 00:22:24.023
I'm speaking to everyone out there that ever felt like they weren't good enough, like I know what the feeling feels like to say, yeah, they're going to call us back, sorry, yeah, I had to email over the options.

00:22:24.044 --> 00:22:28.923
They're going to get back to us this is a good one, or being able to say, yeah, I didn't get the job.

00:22:28.923 --> 00:22:30.007
They're going with someone cheaper.

00:22:30.007 --> 00:22:40.429
I know what it's like to go to your boss over and over and over and tell them that, guys, you know it doesn't feel good, but you can actually take those feelings.

00:22:40.429 --> 00:22:44.298
Feelings are only manifestations of what you have in your mind.

00:22:44.298 --> 00:22:58.426
You have control over what your thoughts think, based on what thoughts you surround yourself with, and if you're in a place of always talking down to yourself, unfortunately, what's going to end up happening is either you're going to grow or you're going to die.

00:22:59.608 --> 00:23:11.948
So the thing I want to leave you with is never doubt yourself based on previous failures, but instead, every time you fail, assume that that's one jar into saying you know what?

00:23:11.948 --> 00:23:13.492
This is one opportunity.

00:23:13.492 --> 00:23:16.948
I figured out what doesn't work and now I'm that much closer to figuring out what will work.

00:23:16.948 --> 00:23:23.826
Every day, every failure is a step forward, it is a step closer, it is not a step backwards.

00:23:25.288 --> 00:23:26.590
Definitely, definitely.

00:23:26.590 --> 00:23:31.268
So I can tell you that I also sucked in the beginning and my story will come out again.

00:23:31.268 --> 00:23:32.330
Many of you know it already.

00:23:32.330 --> 00:23:33.212
Many of you don't.

00:23:33.212 --> 00:23:39.271
My first business I started as a teenager and I was failed within three years after taking on a massive contract.

00:23:39.271 --> 00:23:44.637
I had no business education, no project management education, and it lit a fire in my belly.

00:23:44.637 --> 00:23:53.184
In fact, there was two things that happened that failure, which was followed by shame, and running around with cash in my pocket after doing a bunch of cash deals.

00:23:53.184 --> 00:23:59.718
I still remember that day crying at the bank, withdrawing my last $6,336.36.

00:23:59.718 --> 00:24:04.855
You don't forget a number like that when you're robbing yourself.

00:24:04.855 --> 00:24:11.256
But then I had my daughter and I realized something's got to change here.

00:24:11.256 --> 00:24:13.847
I can't just live in the shadows.

00:24:13.847 --> 00:24:18.238
I can't run from that forever, had to come forward and change everything.

00:24:18.238 --> 00:24:21.074
If you will change, everything will change for you.

00:24:21.074 --> 00:24:25.971
So let's give these guys some action items and get the hell off here so they can get back to work.

00:24:25.971 --> 00:24:32.431
I've got a couple of things that I want to suggest today, and these are life-changing, momentous actions.

00:24:34.653 --> 00:24:47.539
Ask yourself this question from my mentor, late and great Jim Rohn who are you surrounding yourself with, and what are they doing to you?

00:24:47.539 --> 00:24:59.704
Let me rephrase this question for you so you can ask yourself who are the five people I'm around most and what are they doing to me?

00:24:59.704 --> 00:25:05.133
That's first, just an assessment.

00:25:05.133 --> 00:25:06.295
Again an evaluation.

00:25:06.295 --> 00:25:17.578
Second is who do I need to be around so that I can be uncomfortable and start learning some new stuff that forces me to grow?

00:25:17.578 --> 00:25:22.451
And if it's us, I'm flattered.

00:25:22.451 --> 00:25:24.633
We're here five days a week, so keep joining us.

00:25:24.633 --> 00:25:26.750
Did you have anything to add to that one?

00:25:29.066 --> 00:25:34.111
There's a lot that I want to say and I'm wondering how appropriate it is to say but you know what.

00:25:34.111 --> 00:25:38.506
To put it in perspective, I want to let you know that no one is off the table for this.

00:25:38.506 --> 00:25:46.056
It doesn't matter if it's your spouse, it doesn't matter if it's your close family, it doesn't matter if it's your father, it doesn't matter who it is.

00:25:46.056 --> 00:25:55.449
If this person that you're surrounding yourself with does not make you a better version of yourself, they no longer serve your higher purpose.

00:25:55.449 --> 00:26:08.657
And I want you to understand and I'm speaking to you because it's not an easy decision to make and nor would I ever want to make light of this but it's important to remember that you're going to be alive a lot longer than you think you will.

00:26:09.305 --> 00:26:11.871
I did not think I was going to make it to this age.

00:26:11.871 --> 00:26:15.266
I'm already 12 years longer than I thought I was going to be.

00:26:15.266 --> 00:26:23.771
The thing is, is that those people I cut out when I realized I've got to live and I'm not going to be surrounded by these people anymore?

00:26:23.771 --> 00:26:30.979
You want to be around people that not only believe in you but see you at the best version of yourself, and you know what?

00:26:30.979 --> 00:26:34.053
If you don't have anyone like that, then get rid of them all.

00:26:34.053 --> 00:26:35.616
Start from scratch.

00:26:35.616 --> 00:26:38.111
You believe you're too valuable.

00:26:38.111 --> 00:26:45.448
You are too valuable to not believe in yourself, so I just want to leave you with that Definitely that's huge.

00:26:45.788 --> 00:26:46.351
That is huge.

00:26:46.351 --> 00:26:52.473
And just so you guys know, I can say this because I know my mom would never watch my video in this far.

00:26:52.473 --> 00:27:04.326
She's not the same as me, but my mom and some of my mom's side of the family were those people To me.

00:27:04.326 --> 00:27:18.660
I realized at some point what that maternal side was doing for me and what they weren't doing for me, and there was literally a point in my life where it's like, hey, it's not that I don't love my family, but I had to insert a wedge, we had to take space, because being around that kind of stuff too much drags you down.

00:27:18.660 --> 00:27:20.851
So that's a huge piece.

00:27:20.851 --> 00:27:25.594
The other piece is yeah, eagles, don't roost with turkeys.

00:27:25.594 --> 00:27:27.739
That's right, james Profound.

00:27:28.685 --> 00:27:29.671
James, I like you.

00:27:29.671 --> 00:27:34.737
