WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.800 The more you can become aware of how people say, 2 00:00:01.800 --> 00:00:04.320 I am, I do, I have, right? 3 00:00:04.320 --> 00:00:06.200 I must, I should, et cetera. 4 00:00:06.200 --> 00:00:08.560 People tell you their own limiting beliefs 5 00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:10.960 and the things that you say and the things that you speak 6 00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:13.240 over yourself become your reality. 7 00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:15.320 Welcome to the game where we talk about 8 00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:16.840 how to get more customers, how to make more 9 00:00:16.840 --> 00:00:18.240 per customer and how to keep them longer 10 00:00:18.240 --> 00:00:20.080 in the many failures and lessons we have learned 11 00:00:20.080 --> 00:00:20.920 along the way. 12 00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:22.720 I hope you enjoy and subscribe. 13 00:00:22.720 --> 00:00:26.760 What you don't know can kill you and ultimately will, 14 00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:28.720 because at the end of the day, all of us are going to die. 15 00:00:28.720 --> 00:00:32.480 And after having built two multi-figure companies, 16 00:00:32.480 --> 00:00:34.320 another eight-figure company, another eight-figure company, 17 00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:36.440 and then now we have a portfolio of companies 18 00:00:36.440 --> 00:00:38.600 that do just about a million a week, 19 00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:41.520 I've learned some things about financial education 20 00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:42.960 and things like that, and I realized 21 00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:45.400 I was wildly deficient in other areas. 22 00:00:45.400 --> 00:00:48.560 And so in this search for meaning and figuring out, 23 00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:51.360 you know, what I want to do when I grow up, 24 00:00:51.360 --> 00:00:54.240 I've kind of bucketed the different disciplines 25 00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:57.200 that I think all of us have to learn as entrepreneurs 26 00:00:57.280 --> 00:00:59.960 to fill the hole that we have in our souls. 27 00:00:59.960 --> 00:01:03.440 And I think a lot of us, you know, we pursue business 28 00:01:03.440 --> 00:01:06.680 because we feel like it is going to fill this hole, 29 00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:08.280 even on some level we know it won't, 30 00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:09.120 but we do it anyways, 31 00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:12.000 because we just don't have another best bet. 32 00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:16.520 And so after having enough money to question 33 00:01:16.520 --> 00:01:21.200 the meaning of life, I've kind of looked at these buckets 34 00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:23.320 at seven things, and so that's what I'm going to talk about. 35 00:01:23.320 --> 00:01:25.360 And I think it's useful because a lot of times 36 00:01:25.360 --> 00:01:26.760 we just don't know what we lack. 37 00:01:26.800 --> 00:01:30.040 And simply having an understanding of the breadth of topics 38 00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:32.320 and disciplines that we should have and understand 39 00:01:32.320 --> 00:01:33.680 will show us where our deficiencies are. 40 00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:35.560 And I believe that you need all seven 41 00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:37.880 in order to feel more complete. 42 00:01:37.880 --> 00:01:40.320 And I've made more progress in these things. 43 00:01:40.320 --> 00:01:43.320 I feel like I've been able to unearth my singular meaning 44 00:01:43.320 --> 00:01:44.320 which is not necessarily yours, 45 00:01:44.320 --> 00:01:45.880 but for me it's to learn. 46 00:01:45.880 --> 00:01:46.920 I love learning. 47 00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:50.200 And so for me, one of the best ways of learning is teaching. 48 00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:52.720 And so it questions all the time about why I make these 49 00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:56.080 like why would I care about doing this stuff for free? 50 00:01:57.240 --> 00:01:58.600 I do it for me, because I love learning 51 00:01:58.600 --> 00:02:01.240 and I learn best through teaching 52 00:02:01.240 --> 00:02:02.440 what I'm going through right now. 53 00:02:02.440 --> 00:02:04.480 And so these are the seven different disciplines 54 00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:06.640 that I think every human being has to learn. 55 00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:10.640 So the first is foundational education. 56 00:02:10.640 --> 00:02:12.960 Now the good thing is the system is pretty decent 57 00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:14.880 at teaching this one. 58 00:02:14.880 --> 00:02:17.920 So this is like reading, writing, and math. 59 00:02:17.920 --> 00:02:18.720 Like that's how I see it. 60 00:02:18.720 --> 00:02:21.360 It's like if you can read, write, and math, and do math, 61 00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:23.800 you'll learn that from school. 62 00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:26.360 And specifically just like reading, writing, and math 63 00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:28.440 are kind of what I would consider foundational principles. 64 00:02:28.440 --> 00:02:31.520 Because from there, you can use reading and writing 65 00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:35.160 and math to learn the rest of the principles, right? 66 00:02:35.160 --> 00:02:36.400 And so this one's foundational. 67 00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:37.720 And this is pretty much the only one 68 00:02:37.720 --> 00:02:39.720 that we get taught in school, which is why everyone 69 00:02:39.720 --> 00:02:41.960 or at least for me, I felt wildly deficient 70 00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:45.080 to do it the real world because there's so many other things, 71 00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:48.040 which is crazy to me that like what we cover are not, 72 00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:50.640 I think we should just get foundations. 73 00:02:50.640 --> 00:02:52.280 If I were to redesign our education system, 74 00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:54.480 I would just teach reading, writing, and math. 75 00:02:54.480 --> 00:02:56.880 And then the rest of it would be around these disciplines. 76 00:02:56.880 --> 00:03:00.480 All right, so the next thing is physical, all right? 77 00:03:00.480 --> 00:03:02.800 And the thing is, is if you're living in this world, 78 00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:04.120 you live in the physical plane. 79 00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:06.080 And so you have to understand what you need to eat 80 00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:08.440 and how do you need to move in order to increase 81 00:03:08.440 --> 00:03:09.960 your energy, longevity, et cetera. 82 00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:11.240 And so all the things underneath it, 83 00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:14.320 this is bucket energy man, I'm sorry, 84 00:03:14.320 --> 00:03:18.320 would be like sleep, like your own sleep routines. 85 00:03:18.320 --> 00:03:20.760 If you have them, but not to be religious about them, 86 00:03:20.760 --> 00:03:22.000 or superstitious about them, 87 00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:23.560 because those end up becoming handicaps more 88 00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:25.720 than they actually end up helping you. 89 00:03:25.720 --> 00:03:28.200 But how to actually train to look the way you wanna look, 90 00:03:28.200 --> 00:03:30.120 how to eat the way you wanna look, how to eat, 91 00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:32.680 and train the way so you know how you wanna feel. 92 00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:34.680 All of this stuff, because you exist in this plane 93 00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:36.640 and we have these bodies for our whole lives. 94 00:03:36.640 --> 00:03:39.240 And so it would be who of us to learn how to do these things, 95 00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:41.200 because all the rest of these disciplines 96 00:03:41.200 --> 00:03:43.840 are no longer a priority if your physical health 97 00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:46.880 is waning, right? 98 00:03:46.880 --> 00:03:49.440 It's like, there's a saying about that, 99 00:03:49.440 --> 00:03:51.520 everybody can have every wish in the world, 100 00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:53.520 except for when you're sick, you only have one, 101 00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:54.880 which is to not be sick, right? 102 00:03:54.880 --> 00:03:56.880 And so learning this is what I would consider 103 00:03:56.880 --> 00:03:58.960 the second level of education. 104 00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:01.400 The third level of education that I've outlined 105 00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:03.480 for myself is professional, right? 106 00:04:03.480 --> 00:04:08.480 And this is one where depending on what your skill set is, 107 00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:12.480 or what, sorry, what career path you wanna go down, 108 00:04:12.480 --> 00:04:14.400 some schools, if you wanna be in a count, 109 00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:16.840 there's pretty decent career path there 110 00:04:16.840 --> 00:04:17.920 for you to learn that skill. 111 00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:19.400 Now, most accountants would say, 112 00:04:19.400 --> 00:04:20.760 yeah, when I had my, you know, 113 00:04:20.760 --> 00:04:23.280 once I graduated with my Mac or my Masters in Accounting, 114 00:04:23.280 --> 00:04:25.520 that's when really my real education began, right? 115 00:04:25.520 --> 00:04:27.320 And so many of these are like that, 116 00:04:27.320 --> 00:04:29.880 especially from the formal education standpoint. 117 00:04:29.880 --> 00:04:31.240 But hopefully as I'm going through these, 118 00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:33.200 you can think to yourself like, okay, where am I lacking? 119 00:04:33.200 --> 00:04:35.280 And as I get higher and higher up, I will tell you, 120 00:04:35.280 --> 00:04:37.400 I think the fulfillment and the meaning 121 00:04:37.400 --> 00:04:38.800 that you can drive for them, 122 00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:40.640 these kind of work like a pyramid, right? 123 00:04:40.640 --> 00:04:43.520 Like this is the base and then you build up, all right? 124 00:04:43.520 --> 00:04:46.040 The next level of this, 125 00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:49.480 what I would consider is emotional, all right? 126 00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:53.880 And this one, you have to continue to grow over time 127 00:04:53.880 --> 00:04:56.000 because this is just like understanding your own, 128 00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:57.640 your own feelings and thoughts. 129 00:04:57.640 --> 00:04:59.200 And as you grow as an entrepreneur, 130 00:04:59.200 --> 00:05:00.160 you have to know these things 131 00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:02.320 because you'll figure out where your deficiencies are, 132 00:05:02.320 --> 00:05:03.440 all of us have them. 133 00:05:03.440 --> 00:05:05.280 And if you can't think to yourself, 134 00:05:05.280 --> 00:05:07.560 what your deficiencies are, and name them, 135 00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:10.240 and be okay with yourself while still having them, 136 00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:12.000 I think that you get stuck there 137 00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:14.240 because you just don't know how to fix yourself, right? 138 00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:16.440 I'm not that you need to be fixed, but how to grow, right? 139 00:05:16.440 --> 00:05:19.080 And so this is the kind of the fourth level 140 00:05:19.080 --> 00:05:20.160 of education, now note, 141 00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:22.640 this one we don't get taught anything about at all, 142 00:05:22.640 --> 00:05:23.800 anywhere, right? 143 00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:25.080 And you have to learn all this stuff on your own 144 00:05:25.080 --> 00:05:26.920 and most of us have no education on this. 145 00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:28.840 So think about how much time you've devoted 146 00:05:28.840 --> 00:05:29.680 to like this one now, 147 00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:32.120 because now we're really departing from formal education. 148 00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:34.600 Obviously there's not much formal education around physical, 149 00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:37.000 recess doesn't really count, right? 150 00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:41.880 The next level that I have here is relational, all right? 151 00:05:41.880 --> 00:05:45.960 So this is how to communicate, influence, and deal with others. 152 00:05:45.960 --> 00:05:47.680 And this is wildly important, 153 00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:50.200 because first you have to master yourself, right? 154 00:05:50.200 --> 00:05:52.320 And then the next step there is being able to relate 155 00:05:52.320 --> 00:05:55.000 to others in a way that is meaningful. 156 00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:56.920 And so by doing that, you're able to influence others, 157 00:05:56.920 --> 00:05:59.040 you're able to build groups, build tribes, 158 00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:01.680 build companies, all of this is gonna be predicated 159 00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:03.160 on your ability to deal with other humans. 160 00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:05.920 Again, this isn't taught anywhere, right? 161 00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:08.200 That's why, you know, some of the books 162 00:06:08.200 --> 00:06:11.560 that were most transformational for me, 163 00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:15.280 in my life, were books that talked about how to deal with other people, 164 00:06:15.280 --> 00:06:16.600 how to communicate, right? 165 00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:18.600 How to have people like you, right? 166 00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:19.840 How to have people trust you. 167 00:06:19.840 --> 00:06:22.360 And really the flip side of that is how to be like a bull 168 00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:24.080 and how to be trustworthy, 169 00:06:24.080 --> 00:06:25.640 rather than some like hacks or tricks. 170 00:06:25.640 --> 00:06:27.160 It's so much more about the character traits, 171 00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:28.280 which is the ugly answer, 172 00:06:28.280 --> 00:06:30.400 but it's also probably the truth. 173 00:06:30.400 --> 00:06:31.680 So these are the five loves. 174 00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:32.800 And if you're looking at yourself right now, 175 00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:33.800 hopefully you should be like, 176 00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:36.360 well, how much time am I spending learning this discipline 177 00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:37.400 from my own emotions? 178 00:06:37.400 --> 00:06:39.920 How much time am I spending learning this discipline 179 00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:41.520 in learning how to relate to others? 180 00:06:43.840 --> 00:06:45.040 Well, quick guys, you guys already know 181 00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:47.000 that I don't run any ads on this 182 00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:48.320 and I don't sell anything. 183 00:06:48.320 --> 00:06:50.160 And so the only ask that I can ever have 184 00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:51.520 are you guys that you help me spread the word 185 00:06:51.520 --> 00:06:53.040 so we can have more entrepreneurs, 186 00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:54.760 make more money, feed their families, 187 00:06:54.760 --> 00:06:55.720 make better products, 188 00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:58.760 and have better experiences for their employees and customers. 189 00:06:58.760 --> 00:07:01.760 And the only way we do that is if you can rate and review 190 00:07:01.760 --> 00:07:03.200 and share this podcast. 191 00:07:03.200 --> 00:07:04.560 So the single thing that I have to do, 192 00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:05.800 is you can just leave a review, 193 00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:07.760 let's take 10 seconds or one type of the thumb, 194 00:07:07.760 --> 00:07:09.840 it means the absolute will to me and more importantly, 195 00:07:09.840 --> 00:07:11.720 it may change the world to someone else. 196 00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:17.440 The next one that I have here is financial. 197 00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:21.120 All right, financial literacy. 198 00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:22.600 And I would say this first, 199 00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:24.120 in the beginning is personal finance, 200 00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:27.000 which is basically learning how to spend less than you make 201 00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:29.040 and then ideally significantly less than you make 202 00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:30.400 if you listen to any of my stuff, 203 00:07:30.400 --> 00:07:32.600 because wealth is a ratio. 204 00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:33.600 It is not a number. 205 00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:36.320 It is a ratio between how much you earn 206 00:07:36.320 --> 00:07:37.160 versus how much you spend. 207 00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:38.440 So if you want to increase your wealth, 208 00:07:38.440 --> 00:07:39.760 you can decrease your expenses. 209 00:07:39.760 --> 00:07:41.800 And in so doing, become more wealthy. 210 00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:43.400 Think about that for a second. 211 00:07:43.400 --> 00:07:44.680 And while you process that, 212 00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:48.720 I will tell you the second iteration of financial, 213 00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:50.440 which is then how to multiply. 214 00:07:50.440 --> 00:07:52.200 So the beginning, it's about the getting, 215 00:07:52.200 --> 00:07:53.280 getting of the money, 216 00:07:53.280 --> 00:07:55.080 and then the next level to how to multiply the money 217 00:07:55.080 --> 00:07:57.080 that you have, right, and have the money work for you. 218 00:07:57.080 --> 00:07:59.080 And that's, I would say currently, 219 00:07:59.080 --> 00:08:01.520 this is where I'm focusing a lot of my time and attention 220 00:08:01.520 --> 00:08:03.480 because I want you to learn that game. 221 00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:06.920 That being said, a lot of these things combine together, right? 222 00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:08.000 Like if you want to have a business, 223 00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:09.600 you need to know how to manage your own emotions. 224 00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:10.800 You need to know how to relate to others. 225 00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:11.960 You need to know how to manage finances. 226 00:08:11.960 --> 00:08:14.520 You need to have some skills that you have professionally 227 00:08:14.520 --> 00:08:16.160 to provide value to the marketplace in. 228 00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:18.080 And remember, with this professional skill 229 00:08:18.080 --> 00:08:19.000 that I was saying earlier, 230 00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:21.240 only if you have a formal career path 231 00:08:21.240 --> 00:08:24.200 that you're going to learn this in the formal education system, 232 00:08:24.200 --> 00:08:27.600 which is failing even more every day. 233 00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:30.440 But most professions, right? 234 00:08:30.440 --> 00:08:31.960 You learn by doing, 235 00:08:31.960 --> 00:08:34.800 you learn by getting into that industry, right? 236 00:08:34.800 --> 00:08:36.800 And so that's why there's no school for entrepreneurship. 237 00:08:36.800 --> 00:08:38.360 Not really, you know what? 238 00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:39.360 There's entrepreneurship schools, 239 00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:41.800 but like let's be honest, like they're not legit. 240 00:08:41.800 --> 00:08:43.800 The real school for entrepreneurship 241 00:08:43.800 --> 00:08:46.440 is just getting into the game and starting to apply. 242 00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:47.280 And so right now as we're thinking 243 00:08:47.280 --> 00:08:48.360 you're going through this, right? 244 00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:51.720 I've named six and I'll tell you the last one in a second. 245 00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:53.840 But think about where you rate on these. 246 00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:55.520 Like how much time am I spending learning 247 00:08:55.520 --> 00:08:56.440 about financial education? 248 00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:59.200 How much time can I read a balance sheet, right? 249 00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:01.000 Can I read a cash flow statement? 250 00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:01.840 Relational, right? 251 00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:03.320 Like how much time am I spending learning 252 00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:04.080 how to relate to others? 253 00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:05.160 Do you say things like, 254 00:09:05.160 --> 00:09:07.400 and this is important for everyone who has an identity, 255 00:09:07.400 --> 00:09:08.760 which is everyone, right? 256 00:09:08.760 --> 00:09:11.560 Do you say things like, like I don't play well with others? 257 00:09:11.560 --> 00:09:12.720 I don't even like saying that me personally 258 00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:13.560 as I'm telling you this. 259 00:09:13.560 --> 00:09:14.400 I don't like saying this. 260 00:09:14.400 --> 00:09:15.920 I don't like speaking that over myself. 261 00:09:15.920 --> 00:09:17.960 But I can tell you the more you can become aware 262 00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:21.120 of how people say, I am, I do, I have, right? 263 00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:23.000 I must, I should, et cetera. 264 00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:25.360 People tell you their own limiting beliefs 265 00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:26.880 and the things that you say and the things 266 00:09:26.880 --> 00:09:30.000 that you speak over yourself become your reality. 267 00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:31.760 And like this is very true. 268 00:09:31.760 --> 00:09:33.640 Like I'm, I don't even want to say this. 269 00:09:33.640 --> 00:09:36.680 Like people will say, I'm not good with money, right? 270 00:09:36.680 --> 00:09:38.040 I don't even like saying it, right? 271 00:09:38.040 --> 00:09:39.840 Because you speak this belief into yourself 272 00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:41.200 and that becomes your reality. 273 00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:42.360 And so the first thing you have to do 274 00:09:42.360 --> 00:09:43.840 is start correcting your language so that you know, 275 00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:46.200 it's like, I have a weakness here. 276 00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:48.400 I have a deficiency in terms of my learning, right? 277 00:09:48.400 --> 00:09:50.440 Because then it becomes an opportunity that you can fix 278 00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:52.720 rather than I am this way, it is certain. 279 00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:55.200 I speak this way and therefore will never grow, right? 280 00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:58.000 And so as you're looking through these pillars of disciplines 281 00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:00.920 that come inevitably on the entrepreneurial journey, 282 00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:03.760 you have to, you have to see what your deficiencies are 283 00:10:03.760 --> 00:10:04.600 and learn them, right? 284 00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:06.040 And that's, and if you're like looking at this 285 00:10:06.040 --> 00:10:07.400 and this seems overwhelming, 286 00:10:07.400 --> 00:10:08.720 well, you have your whole life to learn them, 287 00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:10.920 which is what I think is inspiring. 288 00:10:10.920 --> 00:10:14.520 And I honestly think for me looking at these disciplines 289 00:10:14.520 --> 00:10:16.920 has given me a lot of meaning in my own life 290 00:10:16.920 --> 00:10:19.240 because I just see this as so much stuff that I want to do. 291 00:10:19.240 --> 00:10:20.480 I want to learn all this stuff. 292 00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:23.920 And then it makes living more interesting for me. 293 00:10:23.920 --> 00:10:28.120 And then finally, the last one is philosophical. 294 00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:29.960 All right. 295 00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:33.480 And this is, this is the values that you choose to live by. 296 00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:35.760 These are the things that you believe to be true, 297 00:10:35.760 --> 00:10:37.000 that are eternal. 298 00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:41.680 And so for me, this has been incredibly, incredibly useful. 299 00:10:41.680 --> 00:10:44.000 And I can tell you guys for anybody who's watching this, 300 00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:46.680 like when you have enough money to spend millions of dollars 301 00:10:46.680 --> 00:10:48.600 a year, every single year for the rest of your life 302 00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:49.880 just on the money that you have, 303 00:10:49.880 --> 00:10:51.880 assuming it doesn't even grow, 304 00:10:51.880 --> 00:10:55.640 like you ask different and weird, like life gets weird, right? 305 00:10:55.640 --> 00:10:57.040 You have weirder questions that you ask 306 00:10:57.040 --> 00:10:58.480 and then you realize that there's really, 307 00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:01.040 so hopefully I can jump to the end of that for for anybody 308 00:11:01.040 --> 00:11:03.120 who's curious, you won't get more fulfillment 309 00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:05.560 from all of these things or any one of these things. 310 00:11:05.560 --> 00:11:08.680 But it's really feeling how you can balance all of these things. 311 00:11:08.680 --> 00:11:10.920 But I think that philosophical, 312 00:11:10.920 --> 00:11:13.240 despite the fact that I said it's the seventh bucket, 313 00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:15.840 I actually think that it's the most important bucket. 314 00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:18.800 And all of the changes in my own subjective wellbeing 315 00:11:18.800 --> 00:11:20.960 and how much I enjoy living have come 316 00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:23.560 from fundamental shifts in my philosophy 317 00:11:23.560 --> 00:11:27.240 about what I believe it means to be human 318 00:11:27.240 --> 00:11:29.640 and the time that we spend here on earth. 319 00:11:29.640 --> 00:11:32.720 And so anyways, if you're looking at yourself 320 00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:34.640 and you're looking at your own deficits, 321 00:11:34.640 --> 00:11:37.560 A, and that's okay is one of my favorite things 322 00:11:37.560 --> 00:11:40.360 that I tell myself, my own self talk, right? 323 00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:43.120 I'm not good at this and that's okay, right? 324 00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:46.000 I'm not good at this yet and that's okay. 325 00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:48.440 I'm not good at the relational side with other people 326 00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:50.520 yet and that's okay, right? 327 00:11:50.520 --> 00:11:52.120 Because I'm going to learn, right? 328 00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:55.600 I'm not as good at the finances as I would like to be yet 329 00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:57.360 and that's okay, right? 330 00:11:57.360 --> 00:12:00.360 And so it becomes, it gets you out of this defeatist talk, 331 00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:02.760 this absolutism of being deficient 332 00:12:02.760 --> 00:12:04.800 and making it as something that's an opportunity 333 00:12:04.800 --> 00:12:05.640 for you to grow it. 334 00:12:05.640 --> 00:12:07.280 And I know this sounds minor, but I'm telling you, 335 00:12:07.280 --> 00:12:09.120 when I look at the employees that I have, 336 00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:10.440 I look at the people that are in our company, 337 00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:12.640 I look at the businesses that we work with, 338 00:12:12.640 --> 00:12:14.760 I can tell immediately by someone's language patterns, 339 00:12:14.760 --> 00:12:17.320 how likely they are to grow, right?
