how many of you like not so clear be
honest I'm gonna so what's in it between
something I didn't put your hand what's
in between some of your like kind of
clear I'm not so clear okay I'm sure how
many a crystal clear crystal clear okay
okay how many I'm not so clear need some
work on that okay good good so write
this now business a team sport business
a what team sport this is not one-man
show one-woman show business is a team
sport because business is competitive
what is it it's competitive you want two
smartest people you want two strongest
people on your team there's a great
saying if you're the smartest person
your team your business in trouble and
it's very very true if you're the
smartest person on your team your
business in trouble I know that's a
limitation because probably what he
tells me is you're not comfortable
hiring people that are smarter than you
now what does that come from tell me
y'all the answer what is you go
insecurity yes hell yeah high five man
that's awesome insecurity is actually a
sign of low self-esteem because you're
not comfortable surrounding yourself
this self-esteem is not hide enough to
throw yourself with people smarter
because you always want to be the
smartest you always want to have the
right answer you always want to be the
one that they come to for advice instead
of developing leaders and finding
leaders around you and say you know what
you guys do your thing Michael Michael
is just I'm the guy who has the vision
and I don't have all the answers but I'm
very compelling I know that's division I
want to accomplish it any help that I
can get I'm open till we see you does
that make sense yes okay so many years
ago I used to have a - how many of you
have a to-do list that you have okay how
many you don't have to do this then what
the [ __ ] do you have
Susan what do you have nothing okay
that's interesting
we got do a class on Tiffany you know or
something like that okay
many years ago about to Dooley's have a
what and it's long because I'm this
control freak and I'm perfectionist my
to-do list at a time was probably five
seven pages worth documenting and kind
of items and it was you good and I would
have a to do thing and then cross it out
cross it out how many of you feel good
when you're crossing our Adamsville
to-do list okay and that's what I have
now let's begin decent money by
six-figure you browser that's the
problem
then I evolved then I learned that I
don't just want to have my to-do list I
want to have and other people's to-do
list
what is it other people's to-do list so
I would have another peoples to do this
and started developing that and that
thing gets thicker and thicker and
thicker and thicker and actually my
to-do list gets shorter and shorter and
shorter shorter so every day now the way
operate is if you actually if I invite
you to my office I work from home and
you see on my on my wall I would have
what I call the the big five every day
I'm five big things unless accomplish
every day big stuff every day and I
would usually in the morning okay today
I got to call this partner or I got to
set up this oh I got to come map all the
strategy for that company but whatever
it might be I got a reveal so five
things very simple not a ton of stuff
and every day I want to make sure I
don't get off work until I finish these
five things now what's interesting is
sometimes it would take me hours to do
these it would take me a good day to do
it sometimes only takes me an hour to
finish the whole thing
now if let me ask you a question if I've
got five things on my list the big five
in the morning and I finish it I cross
it let's say I get it I get it I got it
done by 12:00 noon noon time what do I
do for the rest of the day celebrate
good yes everybody say celebrate yeah
but what else dying you plan for
tomorrow do this which takes about five
minutes or so
what else god you read maybe learn yes
not but not the right answer yeah what
what do I do with the rest of the time
self develop maybe maybe I don't go off
by the way help other people but it's
too big too big if you were me what
would you do have lunch
relax alright okay would you do you're
done for that day what would you do how
many of you continue working find more
stuff to do okay that's the [ __ ]
problem not the answer not the answer
but that's a that's a habit right now
right not the answer
what else you what do you do spend time
with family maybe maybe sleep I seem a
lot oh they're ready to that's not quiet
he is what it is I would think think
most entrepreneurs you're not taking
enough time to think because when you're
running like this can you think no you
can only when you get off the hamster
will then you think yeah now with me I
usually sing with a notepad like this
right and then a pen I just sit there
and I think it's almost like I'm if you
if you observe it's almost like I'm like
daydreaming a little bit but I just
think yes Oh awesome so every morning if
for those you know I do my when I get in
the morning brush you know shower and
then I do my crowd into exercise every
morning which you know somebody how many
of heard of that mic recording right
yeah I do that first 10-15 minutes oh
it's good to me meditation doesn't quite
work for me like sitting there still and
just that doesn't quite work for me but
the the attitude the grounded exercise
that works for me so I go through that
after I'm done then I would have my
breakfast and everything else that's
just what I do
okay now the meditation doesn't equal
thinking though there are two different
things
I'm just talking about thinking about
your business it's almost let
your mind go blank because how many of
you had this experience when you maybe
you're showering you're driving or you
do whatever or you you're walking down
on the street and suddenly come up with
a brilliant idea
I don't even under four yeah those ideas
don't come when you are like that those
ideas only come when you're told you
will acts and you're not thinking about
it and bam suddenly that one thing that
one idea transforming your business yes
that's what I'm talking about taking
time to think
I'm thinking about all my companies that
kind of think through it and paced back
and forth you actually if you actually
up serve again in my office that's Jenny
I'm always pacing back and forth and
talking to myself
surely how many talk to yourself yeah I
do that I talk to myself and I draw on
the whiteboard and cause on the
whiteboard and just thinking about stuff
think I do that a lot I take about an
hour at least an hour day just thinking
a lot of you haven't sit down and be
still and think about business for a
long time because it's so much easier to
just be busy it's so much easier Henry
Ford said it best thinking is the
hardest work there is that's why Sophie
people engage in it it's tough work it
feels like you're not doing any work
it's way easy to just go [ __ ] around on
Facebook how we spent way too much time
on Facebook David you doesn't count as
David managed my social media you don't
count you should be on Facebook but how
many spent way too much time social
media I stuff like that right yeah I
spend about ten minutes a day on
Facebook even I think that's bit too
much for me okay and that's why people
sometimes Facebook me and this and then
I'm not there I'm not [ __ ] there yes
like you mean in your business like you
some challenges and stuff like that well
it's not I know I don't I'm not a guy
that believes in positive thinking I
don't believe in that if anything I
believe in negative thinking because I
know that motivation is good but for
most entrepreneurs desperation is even
better so sometimes it's kind of nuts to
think about this because I'm so
comfortable with my life I would
sometimes purposely and I don't I don't
advise this to everybody but I would
purposely throw myself in situation
where I'm back in the corner
I gotta make [ __ ] happen make myself
uncomfortable don't want to be too
comfortable so I would challenge myself
that way that's just a crazy in me not
the best thing positive but with me I
don't focus so much on mistake just
again personal I just focus on a
solution so when I think about stuff
maybe this business is struggling got to
turn it around what is not working well
what could work come up with five things
that will can make it work follow-up ten
things I can make it work ten times your
finances ten times your business ten
times your marketing ten times your life
