So, I walked in my boss's office I had next to me in my BMW top down
convertible and empty box. I got in my car, I grabbed the box, I looked at the
building. I'm like, "This freaking feels weird."
I left the box. I should probably get myself fired and then get my box. So, I
was nervous. They had this massive sales floor and then the executive
offices and I was like avoiding all of my friends. Because I felt like I was
naked and everyone knew something that I didn't. And I walked in my boss office
his name's Aaron Peter. Says, "Hey, Aaron. Can he talk to you?" He said, "Hey, Kris. We
got meetings coming up. I can't talk right now."
And I'm like as nervous as feeling. It's like, dude, I cannot delay this for an
hour or two. I'll freaking eat myself up inside. So, I said, "Aaron, it'll only take a
couple minutes." He said, "Okay." And I shut the door and I locked it he's like, "What's
going on?" I said, "Aaron. I need a raise." He's like, "We just gave you one of those." I was like,
"I need a bigger one." Like, "How big?" I said... And then I started thinking, "Oh, this is
weird. I'm supposed to fire myself but now I feel like I have to give him a
number. This isn't going well. Just make up a number that you know he's going to say
no to but if he gave to you, you might stay a little longer."
Like, "Aaron, I need a $70,000 raise." And he just busted up laughing. And that's like,
"What was I even tries. I got..." Hey, "I said thanks for the ride. It's my time.
I got to go." And he's like, "Kris, we hate to lose you but I get it man." And I didn't... I
walked to my office I grabbed my nameplate. I can't even remember why. I
left everything and I walked. Didn't even clean my desk. I worked it... Wasn't so much
of a two-week environment notice of leave kind of thing. It was a, when you're
done, you're done. So, I was there... After four and a half years. And friends, I got
to tell you something. I was nervous and then I was relieved
but when I stepped out of that office building, I breathed
something I didn't know existed. What was it?
The oxygen changes. When you become financially free. Your perception is
altered. Your life will never be the same again. I'd probably rather find myself at
the end of a news then go back words to where I had been because I don't know
how. We weren't meant to be caged. Were meant to be free. And for those of you
that have jobs that you love you're doing, intrapreneurship and that's
meaningful. But I'm talking about those of you that are that you know you're
wasting life. You know that you're just there as a whore getting yourself a page
that doing something you don't like. So, that was strong again. The passion
just comes up, okay? But I want you to connect with this. I
want I want to invite you to really connect with this. Harley-Davidson. When
you pull up to Harley-Davidson, they've got parking for all the bikes
and then everyone else has to park in an area they call what? The cage. All the... All
the 4-wheel drivers --cars, there call them cages. Because for them it's about
freedom. And for me, I got to tell you man, I've been living free now for the last...
Oh, my gosh... Dude, 13 years. Dude, just 13 years. 13 years of freedom.
Dude, my wife and I we've traveled to 40 countries all over the world. We just
moved out of one dream house we built. We just moved into our other dream house.
This year I'm going to visit New Zealand and Australia. I'm going to be in multiple
other continents and we traveling the world I'm going to be driving bigger big
impact. I'm going to be training my children how to be anything but mediocre. I'm
going to be giving each to one of them a custom education that even though I
acted like it started when my daughter turned 13, I already know it was option B
dad because I've been training her for the last decade. I've been preparing my
children to be leaders in a world that it's lacking leadership mostly with
people having guidance and direction in their lives to live life on their terms.
How many of you want that freedom? So, I'm going to tell you right now, it's going
come at a cost. It's going to have the cost of some time. It's going to have the cost of
discipline. But my job is real simple. It's called shortcut. What's it call?
Which is where you at. And how do we get you where you want to go faster? This is
not about get-rich-quick but technically you can put any of these principles on
steroids and some of you in this room we're gonna get there faster than I did.
And I hope you do because I look back and like four and a half frickin years
was way too much time in the cage. How many of feeling me on that? So, this is
what my game plan looked like and then we don't have to say what happened after
because it was just like copy paste, copy paste, copy paste. Because when you find
something that works, what do you do? You duplicate it. Friends, I'm here to give
you my duplicatable system. Is it possible you could find a different
duplicatable system? Absolutely. My way is not the only way. I'm just going to show
you a way that is guaranteed to work if you work the system, deal?
