-We don't talk about faith and religion too much on my channel but let's dive into it. -So, you
find that some of the business sounds like most if not all the business decisions that you make
there's that. -And I got an answer and the answer was
I've blessed you with this success not for the recognition bro...
-So, you seem like a pretty... You seem like a pretty grounded person.
You've talked about how family is key to your happiness. You believe in God clearly and
you're a religious person as well. What... Does that have anything to do with all of this? -Yeah,
so it's kind of fun. I don't talk about faith and religion too much on my channel but let's
dive into it. I totally believe in God. I consider myself very religious. I think today
people look at religion as different than faith or spirituality and I kind of look
at them. I combine them because the way that I look at my religion is an individual thing. Like
I really believe that I'm following like I get promptings that are promptings from God.
You know that I'm following what he wants me to do not just following the directions of a
a leader be you know for the sake of it and the last couple of years I've had some
small but miraculous to me experiences that have really... shaped my life in a way that...
Let me just give you some details. I've shared a story when I was mountain biking
I broke my clavicle. I've made a video on my channel about what I call the hiccup miracle.
I had cracked ribs. I had surgery to replace this clavicle so waking up from anesthesia for the next
couple days I had hiccups. Hiccuping with cracked ribs and stuff is really painful. -Yeah, you bet.
-It's really precious to me. I'll leave the details, you could watch that video that I
referenced my journal like the... But long story short, I knew at that moment that God heard me,
praying about my pain from my hiccups. I knew, I really knew that he heard me
and from then for the last couple of years I've been journaling and taking
notes of every time I get a prompting from God and it's filled with a lot of joy. Like
I've been afraid because I do feel that my business is purpose-driven. I feel like I'm
doing this for a reason a good purpose. Like I believe that the entrepreneurship is noble. Well,
at the same time, I've also been scared to pray and ask God specific things about my business
for fear that he would have me do something different or he would have me. -Afraid of the
answer. -Exactly, and um you know like when I chose to buy this house and film it was kind of
a big thing getting a. -Sure. -This is a million dollar house and like taking that step and stuff
iI was excited about it. But like what if I pray and I get an answer that I shouldn't do it
and in the last couple of years this is still a journey for me. But in the last couple of years
I've put more trust and the thing that I've learned about my father in heaven
is the things that he guides me to do are the things that I'm excited about.
The cases where I've been the most worried there's been no cause for worry like, well, what if God
doesn't want me to do that? Because what I've also found is that the passions and the things
that drive me from within he gave those to me. I don't believe that God controls my life. I believe
that he's given me this wonderful gift of agency and choice but there's so many things that are
presented to me. Of course, he's going to inspire me with good ideas because I believe
there's an adversary that's going to inspire me with different ideas or ideas that are going to
make me miserable and when I have these different ideas in front of me I get to choose the ones
that I want, that I believe in, and now that I've learned that God's helping me even with those like
putting some of these good ideas in front of me. It's given me even a lot more confidence like wow,
I live a really exciting life. I get to do some amazing exciting things and this was inspired by
God, it's really cool. -Yeah, I appreciate that thank you for sharing that. So, you find that
some of the business well sounds like most if not all the business decisions that you make
there's that faith involved in making those decisions. -Yeah, you know I make mistakes
all the time. I'm far from perfect and I look at life as a journey and I look at
a big reason why I love entrepreneurship so much is it's like a path of personal development.
Because there are so many challenges and obstacles and learning experiences along the way it just
causes so much growth and just like being part of a church or just like growing up and
you know being in a scouting program or the experiences we have through schooling
like entrepreneurship is wow it's like major acceleration and I feel that I
am who I am today through a lot of experiences, through entrepreneurship, and looking back I
can see like, wow, a lot of these were where you know heaven-inspired
directions for me to go. -Yeah...
Well, I always figure if you're doing something that's good for other people it's got to be
inspired in one way or another. Whether it's overt you know whispered to you in a dream or whatever
or just a nice thing for society. You know good is from God, bad is not essentially and that's...
Do your family they share all the same beliefs and faith? So, that's not a big sell
really. I mean. if you say I feel impressed to start this business or to buy this house
and I really feel good about it. You don't really meet a lot of opposition at home? -Yeah, my wife
Christina is very supportive we're in this journey together. I've learned a lot as well
like I have a tendency to have pride like in the scriptures we'll talk about the natural man.
I have a lot of weaknesses and one of the as I've become successful I have a tendency to think that,
look how great I am, look what I've accomplished. You know in praying
about it and sometimes recognizing mistakes that I've made I've been given answers like
we've talked about the power of influence and I work with a lot of influencers and one time
I was kind of discouraged because I wanted more recognition than I was getting and I prayed about
it because I was feeling some emotions and I got an answer and the answer was, "I've blessed you
with this success not for the recognition but for what you're going to be able to do with it",
and I can accept that because I love you know using scriptural words. I love being
an instrument in God's hands. I love the idea that I am doing a work to further his work.
So, while I am a flawed man and I make a lot of mistakes and sometimes I slip into pride.
I'm trying... and my intention my heart is to do the right thing.
-There are three different ways that I work with people,
my course, my done for you service, and my inner circle brand new this year. Okay,
my course is DIY do it yourself but it's my complete strategy.
You go through 10 weeks, 10 modules, that will help you get the ball rolling and
generate momentum with the exact strategy that I use on all 27 channels that I produce.
My done-for-you service is what clients like Noelle Randall use. Where we do all the
filming. We do all the editing. The thumbnail design, the launch, we monitor the analytics,
and help these channels improve month after month after month. Now, my inner circle
is for six-figure business owners. They want to take their business to seven figures
and really want to scale their YouTube channel as well. You get a taste of our
done for you service where we just launched one episode per week. You're also part of a
community with other business owners that want to learn and implement the same strategy and we
have four quarterly retreats. Now, the studio houses where you'll be filmed either here in Utah
or in Orlando, Florida are also big enough that that's where
we're going to have our quarterly retreats. If you're ready for a strategy session with me
to discuss whether my course the inner circle or my done for your service is a fit for you
then go to my website betheherostudios.com.
I'll link to it below and anywhere on that page click learn more and I'll chat with you then.
The first question people might ask is like, well, that's not fair you're hurting USA jobs
and you're taking advantage of people in the Philippines. -Right, so, what's the big
deal about uh about hiring a virtual assistant? -To hire someone in the Philippines you can hire
a video editor for 450. But there's other things that I can't outsource. I hire...
