00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.360
Everyone happy Tuesday. Hope you guys are having an awesome week so far.

2
00:00:03.360 --> 00:00:05.760
Clicked it off strong with a nice Monday.

3
00:00:05.760 --> 00:00:11.360
I have a short video that I wanted to make for you today or podcast depending on how you are

4
00:00:11.360 --> 00:00:16.080
consuming this content. So there are three topics that I jotted down in my notes that I wanted

5
00:00:16.080 --> 00:00:19.600
to cover today. One is the concept of the zero tolerance entrepreneur.

6
00:00:20.560 --> 00:00:27.040
The second topic is my definition of help. And the third is why focus is a lot.

7
00:00:27.360 --> 00:00:31.840
And I'm going to try and tie all these three things together and I think it will hopefully

8
00:00:31.840 --> 00:00:36.560
be guide before you. So one of the reasons I wanted to make this is because I'm hoping that

9
00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:41.840
some of you guys will tag your managers or some of your employees in this video so that they can

10
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:45.680
better understand you and how you work. The number one video I've ever made now of all time was

11
00:00:45.680 --> 00:00:49.600
the video on attention and the new entrepreneur of old. And so I kind of wanted to have this

12
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:54.000
work as a little bit of a sequel to that but within the context of other people and how they play

13
00:00:54.080 --> 00:01:00.480
a role. And so the first one I'll do this in reverse like middle order so it's two and then the

14
00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:05.200
third thing and then the first thing. But my definition of help. One of the hardest things

15
00:01:06.080 --> 00:01:10.080
for people to understand who aren't entrepreneurs is that most of the time they're not helping you.

16
00:01:10.080 --> 00:01:14.640
They're usually hurting you. And what I mean by that is that the definition of help as I understand

17
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:18.720
it you can google it or whatever but as I understand help is giving someone attention

18
00:01:19.440 --> 00:01:25.520
back. So if someone becomes more potent, more able, more powerful as a human being because they

19
00:01:25.520 --> 00:01:29.200
have more marbles in their marble. If you've watched the first video it's like everyone has

20
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:34.240
x amount of attention that they have at their disposal. And so if you can put marbles you can collect

21
00:01:34.240 --> 00:01:38.880
marbles for someone and put them back into that bowl they are now more able. They can do more

22
00:01:38.880 --> 00:01:42.080
things. They can be a better husband. They can be a better wife. They can be a better business owner

23
00:01:42.160 --> 00:01:49.680
etc. Now for us as gym owners we help people by giving them the attention that was taken by their

24
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:55.120
insecurities or their lack of confidence or their lack of energy and we give that back to them

25
00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:58.960
in the means of fitness. So when you get in better shape all of a sudden you're not consumed by

26
00:01:58.960 --> 00:02:02.720
these thoughts about am I not good enough do I look a certain way you walk through a

27
00:02:02.720 --> 00:02:06.080
border is this fitting weird. Whatever all those things are attention that are being trained

28
00:02:06.080 --> 00:02:10.800
from you from the task of hand. And so if we can give them back that attention we're providing

29
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:17.840
right now where this ties into the the people who play in your sphere is that a lot of people

30
00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:22.880
have what we would call inverted help which is they think they're helping but they're actually

31
00:02:22.880 --> 00:02:27.440
hurting you by taking their dreams. An example of that would be someone who's an employee

32
00:02:28.480 --> 00:02:34.240
who constantly comes in and blows stuff up. And what I mean by that doesn't mean they have to be

33
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:39.120
angry or they have to be whatever they just have huge emotional swings they're very emotionally

34
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:44.240
reactive right. And because they're very emotionally reactive that spreads on to you. So they walk

35
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:47.920
in the door and then you just get sprayed. And what I mean by that is they just take a whole

36
00:02:47.920 --> 00:02:51.520
bunch of attention from you because they have things going on in their life that they have not

37
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:56.800
handled yet. And you should know who those people are because you you feel it like it has not

38
00:02:56.800 --> 00:03:02.160
spread to you feel it. You're like ah ah it's noisy it's loud right. It's because they're taking

39
00:03:02.160 --> 00:03:07.520
attention from you they're not helping them. Okay another example of that would be like if you have

40
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:13.600
an executive assistant or an admin who continually pings you all day long to make decisions for them

41
00:03:14.720 --> 00:03:18.400
are they helping you or they hurting you. They're probably distracting you a lot of the time.

42
00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:23.280
And if that person is distracting you ultimately they're actually making things worse not better right.

43
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:26.880
And so you have like and how do you practice is how do you figure out if someone's actually helping

44
00:03:26.880 --> 00:03:32.240
you versus not helping you. Really it's just the general noise level you have in your world.

45
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:38.240
If things get quiet you can think more clearly. If things get quiet you become the person that you

46
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:44.880
like you you don't become the person you your circumstances allow you to exhibit the characters

47
00:03:44.880 --> 00:03:49.600
characteristics of yourself that you always want to have out there when you're stressed when you're

48
00:03:49.600 --> 00:03:53.040
spread then you don't have a lot of attention you don't have a lot of bandwidth you become more

49
00:03:53.040 --> 00:03:57.440
reactive and then you become more emotional. And so when you have lots of people who have explosions

50
00:03:57.440 --> 00:04:02.720
around you then little things become explosions for you too and then you get totally off task.

51
00:04:02.720 --> 00:04:07.840
So I'm going to lead I'm going to lead this into why focus is a lie. One of the number one things

52
00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:13.120
like there's there's this whole mantra around like the grind and whatnot and that's cool I get that

53
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:20.560
you have to hustle but focus is a lie as a concept because I don't think that people apply it the

54
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:26.560
way it's intended to be applied. You don't focus by thinking about something harder you don't focus

55
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:31.280
by like doing this and being like I'm just going to ignore everything else and go the only way

56
00:04:31.280 --> 00:04:38.000
you focus is by removing other things that's how you focus you have only X amount like your vision

57
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:42.320
is just your vision it's in front of you right but if you have other things there then that's how it

58
00:04:42.320 --> 00:04:49.440
gets split right and so you don't focus by doing less sorry you don't focus by doing more things are

59
00:04:49.440 --> 00:04:55.520
just like pushing yourself harder to do this one thing and trying to ignore surroundings you have

60
00:04:55.520 --> 00:05:00.720
to handle those surrounding things so that there's really nothing left and then that's when like

61
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:04.960
the whole thing about boring makes you money like boring but rich I want that to be our hashtag

62
00:05:04.960 --> 00:05:09.520
I was thinking about that this morning boring but rich is that like you shouldn't have explosions in

63
00:05:09.520 --> 00:05:14.320
your life and if you have people who create those explosions in your life you should either have

64
00:05:14.320 --> 00:05:20.320
conversations with them about what you expect from communication here's an example I really don't

65
00:05:20.320 --> 00:05:26.240
like getting voice messages it bothers me because I hate having to listen to someone for 30 seconds

66
00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:32.080
when I could have read that in about three seconds and I also think that people when they do voice

67
00:05:32.080 --> 00:05:36.400
messages tend to ramble right they don't they don't know what they were going to say to just start

68
00:05:36.400 --> 00:05:43.520
talking right it bothers me and so when someone texts it takes more time to text right because you

69
00:05:43.520 --> 00:05:46.800
get to think about what you're going to say and you usually try to make it as short as possible because

70
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:50.560
you don't want to move your thumb so much which works great for me as a receiver because then I

71
00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:55.520
can read it in a split second right and I can also read it at my own leisure right and for me I

72
00:05:55.520 --> 00:06:01.360
don't like to have the like literally the noise of like I like keeping this area quiet it's carpeted

73
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:07.360
for a reason I don't like the echo I like it quiet I put I used to put headphones when I was in

74
00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:12.080
college like don't try to have phones with your plugs in so I kind of absolute silence like I had

75
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:18.320
I just it for me it stresses me out maybe you're the same way maybe you're not but um anyways

76
00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:24.000
that's just an example like you know you better than I do right but if you if you if you have

77
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:29.040
these little pings these little twigs of like kind of annoys me communicate it and either

78
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:36.720
fix that communication cycle or end it that's it because it's not helping you it's hurting me

79
00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:41.120
and every little thing so like the reason that are closet I wish I could pull my computer with

80
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:47.440
me to show you I had everything labeled um so it's like daily t-shirts workout t-shirts work out

81
00:06:47.440 --> 00:06:52.320
shorts and I have them on hangers now instead of insurance because drawers because then I have to

82
00:06:52.320 --> 00:06:59.200
look for stuff now this might sound like ridiculous to you and I get that I'm not neat I'm not that

83
00:06:59.200 --> 00:07:04.640
organized of a person I really not but I had to do those things because they bothered me and I

84
00:07:04.640 --> 00:07:08.880
realized that they bothered me and so it was taking attention and I was like why need to handle

85
00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:15.280
this right and so it took me a morning and then from that point on I I feel good when I walk into

86
00:07:15.280 --> 00:07:19.200
my closet why is it when you clean out your garage you feel better because you have attention

87
00:07:19.200 --> 00:07:24.240
that sitting in your garage and still is sitting in your garage right now because it's just wrapped

88
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:29.840
up and stuff that you know you should do and so doing these little things allows you to aggregate

89
00:07:29.840 --> 00:07:34.160
this stuff bring those marbles back into your bowl so that you can handle even bigger and bigger

90
00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:41.440
things right so folks is alive because it's not about focusing harder or ignoring things it's

91
00:07:41.440 --> 00:07:46.800
about handling those things that are taking from you no matter how small they are because each one

92
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:51.600
of those things can get added back to the bowl and make you better right I'm telling you how many

93
00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:54.880
times have you fixed something and then the next day you look at a problem that you thought was

94
00:07:54.880 --> 00:07:58.400
insurmountable and then all of a sudden you're like oh that's really obvious it's because you have

95
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:04.640
more attention literally you become better I'm like I'm not I talk about this stuff because I'm telling

96
00:08:04.640 --> 00:08:08.400
you when I talk to guys who are doing eight figures and they're like dude I'm stuck or talking

97
00:08:08.400 --> 00:08:12.000
about they're like how are you growing it's such a crazy rate and they ask us all these questions

98
00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:17.920
I can usually tell within a couple seconds that they're super split and so like the advice that I

99
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:22.640
give most people is I'm like do less like there's no way you can handle all that stuff do less

100
00:08:23.440 --> 00:08:28.480
born and barrage do less and all of a sudden they're like dude I went from three businesses to one

101
00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:33.680
and now we're making three times as much money I'm like awesome it's amazing what happens when

102
00:08:33.680 --> 00:08:39.760
you only have one thing you have to do right becomes really easy real quick guys you guys

103
00:08:39.760 --> 00:08:44.160
already know that I don't run any ads on this and I don't sell anything and so the only

104
00:08:44.160 --> 00:08:48.080
ask that I can ever have if you guys that you help me spread the words we cannot more entrepreneurs

105
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:52.240
make more money feed their families make better products and have better experiences for

106
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:57.360
their employees and customers and the only way we do that is if you can rate and review and share

107
00:08:57.360 --> 00:09:01.120
this podcast so the single thing that I have to do is you can just leave a review let's take

108
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:05.360
10 seconds or one type of thumb it means the absolute world to me and more importantly it may

109
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:12.640
change the world for someone else okay and so zero tolerance entrepreneurial so I covered my

110
00:09:12.640 --> 00:09:16.160
definition of help so hopefully if you have people around you and you're like you're not helping

111
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:20.080
me you're actually distracting you're taking my attention you're stealing attention from me

112
00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:24.480
and if people communicate to you in ways like they text you all the time whenever things happen

113
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:28.080
they face a message all the time or they send you voice messages and that bothers you whatever

114
00:09:28.640 --> 00:09:34.880
then handle that so that it stops pulling from you and making you weaker right so that's the

115
00:09:34.880 --> 00:09:38.720
help thing and that should be for your staff or anybody who we have to communicate with on

116
00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:42.880
regular basis you can even do that with your spouse well you and I define communication

117
00:09:42.880 --> 00:09:47.600
cycles we really do because it makes our life easier that way we know exactly what our expectations

118
00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:51.200
are and what we're going to be bringing to the table like I'm I'm not kidding this stuff sounds

119
00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:57.200
crazy but like like the higher people the the louder everything will get the bigger your

120
00:09:57.200 --> 00:10:01.360
organization will get the more of an impact like I can't tell you how many gym owners I've had

121
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:06.480
who are like my vision for my life is I want to have 10 million people like awesome the habits

122
00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:11.680
that it will take in order to create the infrastructure to actually impact 10 million people

123
00:10:11.680 --> 00:10:16.560
is that you're going to need to morph 10 times over and to become someone much bigger and much

124
00:10:16.560 --> 00:10:21.920
clearer than you are right now if you feel like you are stuck right now it's because you have

125
00:10:21.920 --> 00:10:26.400
not enough attention to acquire the next skill set that you need to acquire in order to move

126
00:10:26.400 --> 00:10:34.240
up the ladder that's it straight up that's it like if you're like man I'm so busy I'm so tired

127
00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:39.280
whatever the marketplace does not matter like that does not care your business does not care

128
00:10:39.280 --> 00:10:44.320
your clients don't care honestly most people don't care right and so you have all this noise

129
00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:48.560
that you're giving yourself so there's only one solution you have which is to gather your attention

130
00:10:48.560 --> 00:10:54.720
back cat out all of the things that bother you and then go focus now because you can focus because

131
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:58.800
there's nothing else distracting you and then things that used to be complicated get really easy

132
00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:08.000
how it works all right um and so my my my ask for you is just to become a zero tolerance entrepreneur

133
00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:14.720
right don't tolerate stuff like all of the little little little net bites they add up

134
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:20.400
the the messy sink that you walk past right and it doesn't need to be you you can have other people

135
00:11:20.400 --> 00:11:24.080
handle that stuff for you like it doesn't mean if you're like man I hate cleaning that would be

136
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:29.440
something that is loud for you then pay someone get that attention back and then you can apply it

137
00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:36.160
in other areas like right now we built the home like you're like well this isn't like I can't do

138
00:11:36.160 --> 00:11:40.560
that that's okay because this is just like I'm just showing you where this path goes I'm not saying

139
00:11:40.560 --> 00:11:44.160
that you have to do all of this now I'm just giving you examples and hopefully you find a valuable

140
00:11:44.880 --> 00:11:50.080
so we have a home gym because I don't like the I don't like traffic I don't like leaving in

141
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:54.320
morning I don't like having to wait for Layla or coordinate or having her wait for me because then

142
00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:58.160
I feel guilty and I get this little swing of guilt as she's sitting by the door like I don't like

143
00:11:58.160 --> 00:12:01.840
that right and so we have a home gym we have a home gym so that we can go on our own schedules and

144
00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:07.040
doing it whenever it's convenient for us and I save the time right that that's like a little

145
00:12:07.040 --> 00:12:13.120
thing that we do I don't like grocery shopping so we have Instacart which by the way is 150 bucks

146
00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:18.720
a year and you get groceries delivered to your door in an hour a hundred and fifty dollars a year

147
00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:25.120
so you're talking 12 bucks a month for me to every single week be out of the grocery shopping two

148
00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:29.920
times a week which is probably a two hour round trip like by the time you figure out what you want

149
00:12:29.920 --> 00:12:35.200
to get in the car go there find it all in the stores waiting in line have some kid going that's next

150
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:39.440
to you right then you check out get back in the park all the way back home if I could avoid all of

151
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:46.000
that for 150 bucks a year are you kidding me yes right we buy everything on Amazon so it comes

152
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:51.680
the next day there's like so what does my life look like right calendar wise I have my daily

153
00:12:51.680 --> 00:12:56.720
huddle in the morning and then I have my huddle with my team bar and D team and then that's it

154
00:12:57.360 --> 00:13:02.080
that's my whole day right and then I have some things that I want to get done and that's all

155
00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:07.200
and so look at your schedule look at the things that are on there look at how necessary they are

156
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:12.640
necessary for you to actually be the one doing right and then see all of the things in your

157
00:13:12.640 --> 00:13:15.920
personal life because it's still draining from the same bowl which is why when someone comes to

158
00:13:15.920 --> 00:13:21.520
work or that you have an employee who has a parent who's sick or they're having trouble at home

159
00:13:21.520 --> 00:13:26.080
right they don't they don't do as well with work because you have one bowl of attention and so

160
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:30.720
if you think that the issue with your parents or your child or whatever doesn't affect your work

161
00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:34.800
of course it does you have to handle those things you have to handle everything and people might be

162
00:13:34.800 --> 00:13:39.520
like wow that's really hard and it's like yes it is hard and that's why most people don't do it

163
00:13:39.520 --> 00:13:43.680
that's why most people don't grow that's why most people don't succeed or at least to the extent that

164
00:13:43.680 --> 00:13:49.120
they want to so anyways sorry this felt like it's just a little bit more ranty than I did say

165
00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:54.240
but anyways guys um if you can throw a like for all the for all the homies poor little

166
00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:59.440
poor little fun tap out for all the homies um and if you have any um staff who you're like man

167
00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:03.040
like I want you to understand that if you communicate with me it has to be deliberate has to be

168
00:14:03.040 --> 00:14:08.160
with attention and we can't just do it half-hazardly because you hurt like you doing that pulls

169
00:14:08.160 --> 00:14:12.880
for me which hurts the entire business right like if I can't do what I can do then we can't grow

170
00:14:12.880 --> 00:14:18.160
this thing and so I need you guys to be organized and not splatter on me whenever you don't know

171
00:14:18.160 --> 00:14:22.240
what to do and a lot of times what happens is that if you can cut those things out most people figure

172
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:26.960
those things out on their own and then they actually learn and grow themselves because they don't

173
00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:31.120
need you as much anymore and you shouldn't want people to need you because if they need you it means

174
00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:36.720
you always have to be a slave to your business something to consider anyways guys um shoot a like

175
00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:43.280

176
00:14:43.280 --> 00:14:48.640
