00:02:07.542 --> 00:02:16.775
So Andy Robinson brings over 18 years of experience and resilience, growth and purpose driven achievement to LFG Mindset Consulting.

00:02:19.824 --> 00:02:30.515
After sustaining a life altering injury while serving as a Marine in Iraq, Andy committed to building a fulfilling and independent life.

00:02:30.515 --> 00:02:41.253
Through determination and a focus on personal development, he overcame significant challenges, including earning his college degree and cultivating a vision for a purpose-driven future.

00:02:41.253 --> 00:02:46.881
I love that purpose-driven future.

00:02:46.881 --> 00:02:53.622
I love that, With a track record of entrepreneur success, Andy built a 20 million annual revenue line for his employer from the ground up before founding LFG Mindset Consulting.

I love that, Andrew.

00:03:17.158 --> 00:03:18.645
You said it all in this bio.

00:03:18.645 --> 00:03:27.788
I love what you're doing because a lot of us don't know how to start, especially setting our goals, and I also do coaching myself.

00:03:27.788 --> 00:03:29.939
I have one of my clients.

00:03:29.939 --> 00:03:35.443
I'm teaching her how to set her goals and really, whatever your passion is, let's start with that.

00:03:35.443 --> 00:03:36.646
So you know.

00:03:36.646 --> 00:03:40.021
Thank you so much for coming on, so just tell us a little bit more about yourself.

00:03:40.021 --> 00:03:41.264
I'm going to ask you some questions.

00:03:41.704 --> 00:04:00.450
Right, yeah, absolutely Like you mentioned, Wanda, you know I started my adult life by joining the Marine Corps right out of high school and it was an amazing experience.

00:04:00.450 --> 00:04:09.405
It was truly an adventure and towards the I was in the Marine Corps for about six years and I went to Iraq twice and sustained injuries.

00:04:09.405 --> 00:04:17.125
My truck got blown up by a roadside bomb towards the end of my second deployment to Iraq and I sustained injuries that really impacted my life.

00:04:17.125 --> 00:04:33.410
Right, so for one minute, one day, I'm running around the world as a physically fit Marine, you know, doing a job with full of purpose, um, and the next day I'm not doing that anymore and I'm not going to do that anymore, ever again.

00:04:33.829 --> 00:04:44.552
And by my physical abilities, athleticism strengths, um, at the age of 23 was was, was no longer there.

00:04:44.552 --> 00:04:57.101
Now I could have allowed that to impact my mindset and that could have been, you know, the biggest thing that ever happened to me and I never could have recovered from it.

00:04:57.101 --> 00:04:58.884
You know I would.

00:04:58.884 --> 00:05:11.547
A lot, of, a lot of folks in even service members, of a lot of folks in even service members, have similar things happen to them.

00:05:11.547 --> 00:05:18.370
They move back in with their, with their families, with their parents, they, they accept disability for the rest of their lives and don't really find the next thing for themselves.

00:05:18.451 --> 00:05:34.976
And they, and that's just kind of how it goes I didn't want that to happen, right, and I, and, and, and it's been an amazing adventure since then of accomplishments and success and just a fulfilled life.

00:05:34.976 --> 00:05:51.269
Um, and I want to share the skills that I learned over those years, as well as more mindset ideas that I now um study with other people to help them right, use their minds to get to where they're going, where they want to go where you want to go.

00:05:51.269 --> 00:05:52.151
It's so important.

00:05:52.812 --> 00:05:58.088
That is awesome and I really, I really admire you for doing that, because you could have just sat back, just like.

00:05:58.088 --> 00:06:01.682
You know people just they give up, and you didn't give up.

00:06:01.682 --> 00:06:09.819
So you took your you know your disabilities to bring it into helping other people so you don't have to be stuck in that situation, right.

00:06:09.819 --> 00:06:18.848
So, and I admire that, and I actually have to say my brother and my nephew were in the Marines as well, so thank God they got out.

00:06:19.250 --> 00:06:26.351
You know, I mean you just never, know, you never know what can happen, so I'm just so happy to see you and to have you on my podcast to share your story.

00:06:26.351 --> 00:06:32.752
So so, the role of collaboration and achieving your goals, your personal professional goals.

00:06:32.752 --> 00:06:34.887
How did you collaborate to get to where you are now?

00:06:36.321 --> 00:06:38.250
Well, one you have to be open to help.

00:06:38.250 --> 00:06:54.821
No one gets there by themselves, no one, I don't care how I mean the more successful, no one, I don't care how I mean the more successful.

00:06:54.821 --> 00:07:00.307
In fact, the more successful person you find, if you have the opportunity to speak to them and ask them about collaboration and help, you'll find that they've had more people help them Right.

00:07:00.307 --> 00:07:02.370
The more successful you become, the more people you have to thank.

00:07:02.370 --> 00:07:11.389
And you know, and the same thing happens, though, when you collaborate and help others too, right, so you get what you give, and it just happens that way.

00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:22.182
Karma is not this, you know, it's not this fantasical thing, it's real, like it's just logical, right, right.

00:07:22.182 --> 00:07:27.163
So, as far as collaboration, you know, it's, it's been.

00:07:27.163 --> 00:08:03.639
There's been several people in my life as I've come through whether it was people that I served with in the military, to people that I knew in high school that that years later were able to, you know, encourage me to try different things or introduce me to different people, and just introducing right collaboration, just opening your network to someone, is amazing and is very important, and networking is very important, but, yeah, collaboration has been.

00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:08.625
Of course, I have a great partner and my wife that I've been married to for 20 years.

00:08:08.726 --> 00:08:15.630
So having that collaboration at home that helps in both your personal and your professional life is very important as well.

00:08:15.630 --> 00:08:39.346
And just finding, you know, along the way, finding people and believing that, having faith, having the attitude of expectancy that the right people will be put in place for the right time, for the right purpose, right, it's going to happen, it's going to happen for me not, oh, I don't know anybody.

00:08:39.727 --> 00:08:43.682
And if you say that statement, too, that will be true.

00:08:43.682 --> 00:08:58.870
If you say the statement of, oh, I don't know anyone who can help me get there, oh, no one wants to help me, or oh, I just don't have access to fill in the blanks, that will be true for you as well.

00:08:58.870 --> 00:09:02.664
But if you wake up and say, hey, you know what, today's going to be a great day.

00:09:02.664 --> 00:09:04.648
I'm going to meet the people that I can serve.

00:09:04.648 --> 00:09:08.575
I'm going to meet people that can help serve me and my purpose.

00:09:08.575 --> 00:09:12.711
I'm going to make the right connections right.

00:09:12.711 --> 00:09:23.024
I go to networking multiple times a week the drive over there and other times, but especially the drive there Before I go into that space.

00:09:23.024 --> 00:09:31.493
I'm going to meet people that I can help and serve, and I'm also going to meet people that will help me achieve my goals.

00:09:32.054 --> 00:09:35.163
I'm going to leave everyone I meet with the feeling of increase.

00:09:37.168 --> 00:09:38.190
That's how I go into it.

00:09:38.509 --> 00:09:41.943
That's how I go into it and you know what it happens.

00:09:41.943 --> 00:09:45.491
You meet the people and you just have to have the right attitude about it.

00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:48.745
Absolutely, and God puts those people in your space.

00:09:48.745 --> 00:09:58.650
You know to know that that is the right partnership collaboration and that's why I always that's why I named my podcast Ready Set Collaborate, because I've always been.

00:09:58.650 --> 00:10:05.773
When COVID happened, I got on Zoom and just started doing webinars with people and having entrepreneurs on.

00:10:05.899 --> 00:10:16.475
So I was told to do this podcast, and that's why I named it Ready Set Collaborate, because I like to collaborate with other entrepreneurs and I always say collaboration is the key to success.

00:10:16.475 --> 00:10:17.100
It is.

00:10:17.100 --> 00:10:22.931
It really is, because you're helping each other out and that success comes from each one working with each other.

00:10:22.931 --> 00:10:31.894
So let me ask you another question you probably already answered it, though um, what's the most significant mindset, mindset shift that you've?

00:10:39.787 --> 00:10:57.767
been seeing in yourself and others or others what you want and believing that you can have it, making the decision Like first off.

00:10:57.767 --> 00:11:04.043
For a lot of people, they shy away from what they want, they don't want to go too big.

00:11:04.043 --> 00:11:07.288
Right, there's this.

00:11:07.288 --> 00:11:11.043
You know, we were raised with certain ideas about things.

00:11:11.043 --> 00:11:19.724
We're raised with certain ideas of what a relationship is supposed to look like, what your income is supposed to look like, what your life is supposed to look like, what kind of houses that?

00:11:19.724 --> 00:11:20.726
Maybe that's too much.

00:11:20.726 --> 00:11:21.208
Or what kind?

00:11:21.208 --> 00:11:23.243
Why would you drive a Lamborghini like that?

00:11:23.423 --> 00:11:28.062
Oh, people that drive Lamborghinis are horrible, money grabbing, just horribly unethical people.

00:11:28.062 --> 00:11:28.884
No, they're not.

00:11:28.884 --> 00:11:30.326
No, they're not.

00:11:30.326 --> 00:11:33.293
It's a car, it's a thing.

00:11:33.293 --> 00:11:37.426
It's not a moral statement about who they are as a person.

00:11:37.426 --> 00:11:52.145
Yeah, and if they have a good heart and if they provide a good service to people, then that level of success is attributed to the number of people that they could help, the amount of service that they could provide.

00:11:52.145 --> 00:11:53.523
Right, like it's not.

00:11:53.523 --> 00:11:54.346
We're not stealing.

00:11:54.346 --> 00:11:55.705
We're not stealing money from banks.

00:11:55.705 --> 00:11:56.980
We're not robbing banks, we're not.

00:11:56.980 --> 00:11:57.600
We're not stealing.

00:11:57.600 --> 00:11:58.702
We're not stealing money from banks.

00:11:58.702 --> 00:11:59.804
We're not robbing banks, we're not.

00:11:59.804 --> 00:12:00.746
We're not stealing from people.

00:12:00.746 --> 00:12:15.421
So the biggest mindset shift, I see, is when people truly identify what it is that they want and what that future version of themselves looks like when they attain that goal I love it, so say what you want.

00:12:15.561 --> 00:12:18.522
And then what does that version of you look like?

00:12:18.522 --> 00:12:20.842
What do they tolerate, what do they not tolerate?

00:12:20.842 --> 00:12:23.384
Right, what do they do with their time?

00:12:23.384 --> 00:12:24.184
How do they dress?

00:12:24.184 --> 00:12:26.046
Where do they live Like?

00:12:26.046 --> 00:12:27.886
What is their circle look like?

00:12:27.886 --> 00:12:29.287
Who are their clients?

00:12:29.287 --> 00:12:35.610
Then you can place everything else in order.

00:12:35.610 --> 00:12:46.595
But until you know that, until you have the courage to speak it right, Even if it's just to yourself, you're not gonna figure out.

00:12:46.595 --> 00:12:51.017
You're gonna have marginal growth forever, that's all.

00:12:51.496 --> 00:13:00.166
But if you really wanna grow and have a real adventure, figure out what it is that you want, and when I see people that click for people, then then things start to change.

00:13:01.070 --> 00:13:07.894
And that's that was my next question, because you probably already how do you help people break free from limiting beliefs and paradigms?

00:13:08.176 --> 00:13:08.957
Right.

00:13:08.957 --> 00:13:11.443
So breaking free from limiting beliefs and paradigms.

00:13:11.443 --> 00:13:22.342
So our paradigm is formed over time, right, and it is a set of habitual, like beliefs and thoughts that really controls most of our behavior.

00:13:22.342 --> 00:13:23.124
Right.

00:13:23.124 --> 00:13:26.980
This is why in your mind you can say oh, it's a great idea to go to the gym.

00:13:26.980 --> 00:13:31.729
You never do right Because your paradigm is like I'm okay, not going.

00:13:31.729 --> 00:13:34.801
So how do we change that?

00:13:34.801 --> 00:13:41.254
We get in tune with what our mind is telling ourselves.

00:13:41.254 --> 00:13:45.677
Isn't it crazy that you can have a conversation, an argument in your mind with yourself.

00:13:45.677 --> 00:13:46.460
That's just wild.

00:13:46.460 --> 00:13:59.523
But we take those statements of Andy never gets in, I never get my stuff done, like I don't see things through to completion, I don't spend the time doing what I'm supposed to be doing Right.

00:13:59.523 --> 00:14:05.567
We take those statements and we flip them around and we drill them into our subconscious.

00:14:05.567 --> 00:14:14.552
We say all the time I am a very effective taskmaster, I'm very productive.

00:14:15.354 --> 00:14:16.294
I'm very productive, absolutely.

00:14:16.754 --> 00:14:20.618
Yeah, you say it all the time I am very productive, I am a very productive person.

00:14:20.618 --> 00:14:22.702
I am a productive person.

00:14:22.702 --> 00:14:25.490
I go around my house and I'm talking to myself most of the time.

00:14:25.490 --> 00:14:33.573
If you were to hack into my little home security cameras, you would see Andy going around his house talking to himself.

00:14:33.573 --> 00:14:42.687
Because I am, because it changes things when you start to tell yourself that different thing and then you start aligning those actions with that.

00:14:42.687 --> 00:14:52.640
That's, that is how you stop the self-limiting beliefs and you also really build a picture around the person that you are becoming Right.

00:14:52.640 --> 00:14:59.111
So let's say that my goal is to make $10 million a year, to have 200 clients.

00:14:59.111 --> 00:15:07.270
Whatever my goal is, how does that version of Andy handle sales or marketing or networking or tasks?

00:15:07.270 --> 00:15:13.067
That guy, oh, he gets it done with ease, right?

00:15:13.067 --> 00:15:17.777
Well, if I'm becoming that okay, then I need to relax into that too.

00:15:17.777 --> 00:15:19.100
I need to relax into that too.

00:15:19.100 --> 00:15:23.471
I need to relax into that version of myself and feel it every day, every day.

00:15:24.400 --> 00:15:26.565
I love that and I want to ask you this question.

00:15:26.565 --> 00:15:31.354
So what advice do you have for someone struggling to set or achieve their goals.

00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:35.322
Call me no, just kidding, but no.

00:15:35.842 --> 00:15:36.803
And that's what you want to do.

00:15:36.803 --> 00:15:37.705
You want to call him.

00:15:38.025 --> 00:15:38.785
No, absolutely.

00:15:38.785 --> 00:15:53.091
But no, if you're, if you're struggling to set or achieve goals, understand this that a goal is made to For you to grow, it's not necessarily made for you to achieve.

00:15:53.091 --> 00:16:04.130
I've set goals that I haven't achieved by the time I said I was going to, and that's OK, because I still grow a lot.

00:16:04.130 --> 00:16:10.232
Now I look back and I say, ok, well, what, what obstacles came in there that may be stopped?

00:16:10.232 --> 00:16:11.302
Where do I need to be?

00:16:11.302 --> 00:16:14.871
How can I adjust so I can achieve that goal next time?

00:16:14.871 --> 00:16:15.341
So that's all right.

00:16:15.341 --> 00:16:17.331
So if you're, if you're not achieving your goals, then let's, let's look at what your goal next time?

00:16:17.331 --> 00:16:17.754
So that's all right.

00:16:17.754 --> 00:16:25.260
So if you're, if you're not achieving your goals, then let's, let's look at what your goal is like and and make sure we're we're setting it up correctly.

00:16:26.664 --> 00:16:31.318
Um, but yeah, if you're having a hard time, honestly, it is all in your mind.

00:16:31.318 --> 00:16:32.860
You haven't made the decision to yet.

00:16:32.860 --> 00:16:35.381
You haven't made the decision to yet.

00:16:35.381 --> 00:16:37.764
Um, you haven't made the decision to yet.

00:16:37.764 --> 00:16:40.265
You haven't made the decision that you're that person.

00:16:40.265 --> 00:16:42.846
But that's not where the change is.

00:16:42.846 --> 00:17:08.231
The change is in take 15, 30 minutes a day and sit in the wish fulfilled.

00:17:08.231 --> 00:17:26.374
Tell me what it feels like, tastes like, smells like, looks like, sounds like in your wish fulfilled when you're sounds like in your wish fulfilled when you're sailing your boat in the in the Florida Keys, because you are that successful or whatever it is that you want to be doing with your success.

00:17:26.374 --> 00:17:30.327
That's how you change is in your mind first.

00:17:30.327 --> 00:17:33.401
The last place you'll experience your goals is in your five senses.

00:17:33.401 --> 00:17:37.247
If you're not experiencing it in your mind first, you'll never have it in the real life.

00:17:37.426 --> 00:17:38.067
You won't.

00:17:38.067 --> 00:17:40.411
I love that Wish fulfilled.

00:17:40.411 --> 00:17:42.835
That's a good way of putting that there.

00:17:42.835 --> 00:17:49.630
So, and we're winding down here, how do you incorporate habits and visualization into your coaching strategies?

00:17:50.352 --> 00:17:52.039
OK, yeah, absolutely so.

00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:59.106
Visualizations in our coaching and my coaching strategy is, like I said, an everyday thing, so we're doing it every day.

00:17:59.106 --> 00:18:06.480
We're right where you are writing for 15 minutes at least every day about an aspect of our future selves.

00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:12.684
Tell me about a vacation, tell me about an interaction with a client, tell me about a professional event that you hosted or attended.

00:18:12.684 --> 00:18:16.201
Tell me about a restaurant that you went to to celebrate a win.

00:18:16.201 --> 00:18:20.412
Tell me about the win, like all of about the win, like all of it, like all the details, all of it.

00:18:20.412 --> 00:18:22.446
So we're doing that right.

00:18:22.446 --> 00:18:25.589
And then we're also identifying the habits of your future self.

00:18:25.589 --> 00:18:34.440
What habits does that future version of you have that you need to learn and adapt and create for yourself?

00:18:34.440 --> 00:18:38.731
What habits do you have right now that your future version doesn't have?

00:18:38.731 --> 00:18:42.589
And let's get rid of those, let's kill those, let's get, let's get them out of here.

00:18:42.589 --> 00:18:47.500
So let's change things Right and let's write them down, let's keep ourselves accountable, right.

00:18:47.761 --> 00:18:58.772
That's the only way we're yeah, that's the only way we're going to grow um is to set it in our mind that we make a firm decision that we want more, and then we go for it.

00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:04.280
I love that.

00:19:04.280 --> 00:19:08.439
I love that and I want you to explain to what's the most valuable lessons from your military service that you apply to your work today.

00:19:09.560 --> 00:19:15.673
You know, the most valuable lesson I would say is you know, your attitude is everything.

00:19:15.673 --> 00:19:18.144
Your attitude is everything.

00:19:18.144 --> 00:19:33.133
There's so many times in the military where whether it's training or just day-to-day life or combat or whatever that there's just a lot of opportunity where you're doing things that you might not necessarily enjoy.

00:19:33.133 --> 00:19:43.548
Right, you get to choose what attitude you respond with, and the same thing happens now in life and everyone's life.

00:19:43.548 --> 00:19:47.844
Your attitude is what you can control, Absolutely Right.

00:19:47.864 --> 00:19:53.182
Takes a little bit, takes some work, but, but your attitude is what you can control, so do that.

00:19:53.182 --> 00:19:56.550
And and you can, you can change a lot of things.

00:19:57.513 --> 00:19:59.258
And you can change a lot of things.

00:19:59.258 --> 00:20:18.372
I love that because I think about you when you didn't give up, you know and you actually strive to be what you are today and also helping people and, like I said before, there's a lot of people that get stuck in that mindset that I can't do anything, but you got to turn it around.

00:20:18.372 --> 00:20:22.951
You know, and like you said, I actually say every day, something good is going to happen to me today.

00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:24.061
Absolutely.

00:20:24.301 --> 00:20:25.605
And you have to believe it.

00:20:25.826 --> 00:20:40.672
Say, as you go to sleep, as you're going to sleep, as you're like your eyelids are getting heavy, Tell yourself tomorrow I'm going to wake up with gratitude and I'm going to wake up expecting that good things are going to happen.

00:20:40.672 --> 00:20:44.589
Right, and always choose the higher vibrating attitude.

00:20:44.589 --> 00:20:49.840
There's always there's a there's a lower vibrating point of view and a higher vibrating point of view Right.

00:20:49.941 --> 00:20:55.334
Lower vibrating point of view is oh, there's obstacles that I'm not going to be able to overcome.

00:20:55.334 --> 00:21:00.692
This sucks, it's going to, it's going to, it's going to be painful to go through it and it's probably not going to work out.

00:21:00.692 --> 00:21:11.961
Or, oh, yeah, there's obstacles that I can overcome and in overcoming those obstacles, I'm going to learn new skills, I'm going to make new relationships, I'm going to feel new, new success.

00:21:11.961 --> 00:21:13.226
It's going to be an adventure.

00:21:13.226 --> 00:21:16.114
Which is higher and which is lower?

00:21:16.114 --> 00:21:18.220
Choose this which is higher and which is lower.

00:21:18.220 --> 00:21:21.693
Choose this every time right, because it's going to get you a better life.

00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:27.528
And that's the affirmations that we talk about Having those positive affirmations to write down.

00:21:27.528 --> 00:21:35.871
So I'm winding down and I want you the last question how do you define success and how has that definition evolved over time for you?

00:21:38.344 --> 00:21:53.404
So originally I would say I was more online with the definition of success we find in the dictionary, right Like the accomplishment of an aim, right Like yay, we did it.

00:21:53.404 --> 00:21:55.886
I have a better.

00:21:55.886 --> 00:22:05.737
I have a definition that I prefer more now, and that is success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal.

00:22:05.737 --> 00:22:13.267
Just doing the work, just the steps forward, is success in itself.

00:22:13.267 --> 00:22:21.236
Progressive realization of a worthy ideal, if what you're doing is worth your time.

00:22:21.236 --> 00:22:24.849
Just taking steps forward is success in itself.

00:22:24.849 --> 00:22:26.086
You're becoming better.

00:22:26.086 --> 00:22:28.166
You're becoming better every day.

00:22:28.166 --> 00:22:31.368
Yesterday can be the worst you've ever been.

00:22:31.368 --> 00:22:32.945
Today can be the worst I'll ever be.

00:22:32.945 --> 00:22:35.886
Tomorrow I'm gonna be better at it every day.

00:22:36.387 --> 00:22:37.991
Yeah, yeah, I agree.

00:22:37.991 --> 00:22:39.846
This is my last question because I want to get into it.

00:22:39.846 --> 00:22:44.607
Can you give an example of a collaboration that transformed your perspective or business?

00:22:46.352 --> 00:22:48.416
I mean, oh yeah, a bunch of them.

00:22:48.436 --> 00:22:49.559
Give us the most important one.

00:22:51.470 --> 00:23:30.756
Well, I think the most you know, the most important one was really you know that called me to become a mindset coach and that was through, you know, going through coaching myself with some of my colleagues and it's just you know, getting in a room with other people and talking about what's important to you and and hearing other people's you know accounts of how them changing their mindset helped them achieve better right, live a better life, and just that collaboration.

00:23:30.756 --> 00:23:51.180
It was a small group of like less than 20 people and you know just high vibrating I would say high vibrating communities and environments right, having the people around you that are doing well and thinking well is really important.

00:23:51.180 --> 00:23:54.678
You get around more people like that, the better you'll be.

00:23:55.800 --> 00:24:08.196
