The only thing that works is work, there's no secret formula
There's no magic pill. There's no do this and you have overnight success
No, the only thing that works is work. I am Andrew Hales. Welcome to another edition of chatting with I'm here with Caleb
Thank you so much for being here. Hey, thanks for having me on I appreciate it. Yeah, a millionaire millionaire. That's right
And you just turned 17 yesterday? Yes. My birthday was yesterday from books selling books. Mm-hmm
Well a couple different things so that was one of them. I've written nine books. Yeah, how's that? That was one Avenue?
I can't even get one done. Yeah. Yeah for sure. Well, I mean it wasn't that I made money through books actually
That's the myth that people have about books. I think you make a lot of money from selling books
Would you make the money on is leveraging the book that you wrote?
Hmm, so I haven't actually made over a million dollars just from the books
I've sold, but it's been able to say that I've written nine books
it's been using that to to get on stages to propel my other companies and you roll your first book at a
fourteen
Thirteen thirteen run at thirteen. Did you promote it at all like there Facebookers? Yeah
I'm sure well, it'd be fun to say it magically popped. Right? Cuz yeah, yeah, that's that's what we expect you
See someone like, you know, Justin Bieber blog. Just imagine with one day both
Yeah, but you don't see this stuff before that
You know, it's like the whole cliche quote you you always see the glory but you don't see the story
I'm like I think about it. So
Constantly like so much
I'm just so obsessed with seeing people win and having a hunter a degree transformation that there's no other option
Then for me to put in the work then for me to show up a day in and day out
Why do you think that is?
Like why do you think you got into being a motivational speaker? I
Think it's because I've seen the
What these principles have done for me? Mmm-hmm?
seeing how like being able to travel the world doing what I love doing, you know have the
becoming financially free
Living with a passion. I've seen how much better that is then floating through life
Like a lot of people they're like a plastic bag in the middle of a parking lot. They're in hurricane
they're just blown all around like like this happens that they're like
I've just seen the like what life is like when you are focused when you have a mission when what you know what you want
Out of life and I see the alternative of other kids who were, you know, average normal and it's not that they're bad
But just I know this fulfillment that comes with impacting people
Yeah, and to me, I don't know exactly why it could be
You know my dad took mine over 53 mission strips, and I was younger and I remember
You know going into a lot of homeless shelters. I remember one time specifically
my dad
And I gave these two kids a pillow
for Christmas because they didn't have any like any pillow to sleep on and I remember they cry I
Don't know how to avoid gratitude at a gradual home
and I first whenever they cried I thought they were crying out of like all I got was a pillow for Christmas gobble it I
Was like maybe nine or ten at this mom and they were crying out of gratitude
I remember thinking wow, there's some kids who cry because they get the wrong colored iPhone and they're mad
yeah, and there's other kids who cry because they get a pillow and they're grateful and your dad kind of um,
Got you into what did he what's he do?
So he does some similar things. She's been doing speaking. He was actually a preacher for about 17 years. I think it was
Okay, so from like 20 to almost like 40, he doesn't do as much preaching now. He doesn't more speaking as well
He's been an entreprenuer he's owned a lot of different businesses. He's worked for himself since he was 20
so he's we actually co-owned the coach and speak comm that's the one thing that we kind of do together and
Coaches be calm is a place for other
Coaches to learn how to speak not just learn how to speak and learn how to get paid to speak
Okay, you know because a lot of people have a message but it's also how do you make money doing it?
And what's the bigot? What's most money? You've made it in a gig? Um
My dad at what we didn't mean you don't have to answer that
No for sure Oh answer we did it in our speech one time, too
It was about I think was like a hundred people
It would made like 60 grand in like an hour Wow from one at one. Speech. Damn
I gotta do that
And we can teach you Braille
We we know someone we know someone who can help you then see there's somebody that if a year ago
They would have started YouTube channel or something like that started pushing out content today
They would have millions of subscribers be impacting millions of people and be making tens of millions of dollars a year
There's somebody in this room with a million dollar idea, but the problem is they're putting in a minimum wage
execution
So the first way that I made
$100,000 by 14 years old as I stopped saying that I'm gonna do something and I actually took action Your Enthusiasm is
unparalleled it's like
totally
Infectious too. Like I was watching one and I was like cool, you know
we're
Like how do you have so much energy, huh?
Here's how I think of it and this the problem most people write, you know, they charge their phone constantly. Think about this, right?
They're constantly plugging on the phone if their phone's about to die, they start getting some sort of anxiety
They immediately plug it in why because it's a priority to them that their phone is charged yet their ownselves
They don't charge meaning
They're their own
Personal energy and battery gets drained because they keep doing things that are dream the better they're around people that drained their energy
They're around, you know, they eat things that drain their energy they watch things that drain their energy
They constantly doing things that are draining them. But then you find the success of people or constituent things that charge them
That's why to me
It's practical to be around good people to be around people that fuel you rather than train you so for me
I realize like hey, my Energy's getting lower and it's not just enthusiasm this route. I like about you
You have good energy or names you're not massively enthusiastic that you know, like I watched your interview
I was like man, it's kind of interesting. You got all these people watch you and you're not enthusiastic
Which I respect but you got you got good energy thing, you know
there's a different student dudes Yasim and energy and I think if you can start to
On a daily basis do more things that charge you than geranium
Hmm little like you think of it like you're like you're charging your phone
Because people put their phones more priority than they do the most their ownselves
Hmm start doing things that charge you get around people that charge you right down
I have 35 friends, which ones charge me which ones Jaime and you're not gonna cut the ones the dream out
What are they ever bleep? What if everyone drains me if everyone's reins you what then okay right here
You're clearly an extrovert and the parent, you know the difference
I know. I'm an answer for who learn to be actuated. You sure positive. Yes, I mind. Yeah, I guess that's
pseudoscience it too I guess but I've always uh
Yeah, I mean well introverts, you know, they they lose energy from talking to people in extroverts get energy from talking to people I
Actually, like even yesterday I was at an event the entire day. We were taking pictures doing videos interviews all stuff. It does dream me
But the thing is even though it drains me
It fuels my mission and it's something that's required of me to do. So I have learned to become that
That's why I still make time to be by myself
To relax to recharge - you know like I'd say on the day out of the week. It's probably three or four days
I'm doing meetings interviews and the other three or four days. I'm trying to recharge get focused and execute
I'm someone who and that's that's the problem
Most people you want to know one of the the observations I made
What would change their life is if you stopped sitting down and thinking this is Who I am and you start asking
How can I become who I need to be I?
Know I know that sounds really low today
I'm like like, you know, rah rah type stuff
but it's actually practical because people live a life and they say I'm not confident but then my actual question you is like
What DNA molecule defines that you're not confident?
You don't mean like what like there is nothing in your DNA
It's a straight up mindset that you're not comedy because I grew up thinking
I'm not confident the first change my dad made to give me confidence was to tell me killed
You need to stop saying you don't have confidence just that says this is step one
Like I thought I couldn't speak on stage
Imagine if I sat down and said to myself, I can't speak on stage and I made that a part of who I am
I made that a part of my belief system everything then I would not be able to speak on stage in front of three thousand
Five thousand people and impact people at the rate. I do there would be people
I have people come up to me in events in town me then after I gave a speech they decided not to commit suicide
Wrong, those people would be dead right now
If I would have chose to believe who I was rather than to sit down and say who do I need to become and what?
I did is this I imagined life was a movie and I wrote out the end plot to my movie
I thought like I was watching The Pursuit of Happyness by Will Smith
And I was thinking when will Smith was recording this she wasn't homeless
Like, you know, like he you know, he plays a homeless character and he wasn't actually homeless
But in that moment
He became homeless in his mind so he could portray this to a screen and we all believed him
I was like what if I could do that in life. What if I say here's my movie
Here's how I want it to play out. Here's the character
I need to become to get there and I did this I listened how I became a millionaire people ask me
How'd you come Millionaire? It's it's it's very stuff. I literally wrote out who do I need to become to become a millionaire?
How does a millionaire act how do they talk what other day-to-day look like?
What's their habits and I started to become that person and I became a million the day I become a million
I was in San Diego
I
Was this February actually so almost a year ago and I became a millionaire and my team messed me and they said you know
You're officially a millionaire. Congratulations their team. Yeah. Yeah
I have a team I have like I don't know maybe 20 to 30 people on my team and I was with my friend
I was like, I looked at him. I'm I'm thinking because it was kind of a gold mine for a little bit
It was never my obsession
My obsession was impact people and becoming a millionaire was the byproduct of that
But I came in I was like no told I told his guy was like dude
I just became a millionaire and he was like no way bro. He started cheering for me. How do you feel?
Yeah, and I looked at him. I was like, you know, it's funny. I feel the exact same way. I did two years ago
Mm-hmm. I said have the money yet
Meaning I was a millionaire two years ago
I just didn't have a million dollars
but everything a millionaire does the way they act the way like I said the way they talk the way they think the people they're
Around I was already there and it made me realize in that moment
You become the person it takes to get to the goal and then you'll get to the goal
Then you're gonna go to think it's so far bro
It's also the most intriguing interviews I've ever been in it's kind of kind of interesting. I like it
What do you do for fun?
Like when I was your age, I was just wanting to have fun
I mean, I still just want to have fun mostly but never sure I get the whole time
You know, first of all, what I do is so much fun. It's like it's like asking a flea
What do you do for fun? They're yours. You can answer whatever their sport is. Mmm to me. This is like my sport. I
like there's no more fun to me than being unsaved and someone coming up and saying I change their life like that to me is
My fun then also like I play sports. I you know, I
Like just brought the scooters in LA. You know, let's get that's fun. Oh, yeah
That's like came out love those. No, but but to me, like, you know people I said, okay marching missed out on your childhood
I'm answer is always like okay, what's that mean? Well, like you're not having fun
well, first of all, I have more fun than all my friends do guarantee you that like I get to travel meet people I I
Literally and like have so much fun
But if you're telling me that I'm not having fun because I miss out on my childhood
Then aren't you missing out on your adulthood like?
What to say just when you become an adult the fun should stop for me
I know that I'm setting myself up to where my entire life is gonna be filled with fun
it's gonna be filled with enjoyment with fulfillment with impact and people with doing what I love that to me is more powerful than
You know go and spray painting some building somewhere
What's uh, what are you gonna do have to get a billion dollars st. You do speeches keep what I enjoy Frank you
I mean to me money doesn't change anything. Yeah, like people said like what do you do when you become a millionaire, right?
that's like saying like what are you gonna do after you eat that, you know this thing it's like well like, you know
I mean like I'm gonna go right back to living my life. Like it's to me it's the same difference
I mean, I don't by the way
I don't wanna become a billionaire just because the money to me like dude you have a hundred million dollars
It's not much different than a billion dollars right fifteen million dollars, whatever but for me
I want to become a billionaire because the person you have to become to become a billionaire
Look, if you know if you're around billionaires like the the problems they saw as we were with two people this week
And they're literally solving world problems
Like creating products that literally is gonna revolutionize like stop like poverty energy like this
the craziest solutions are solving
I want to become a billionaire because the love of you play out
once you have a million dollars and the resources and the people you can impact any Bill Gates has given over sixty billion dollars to
Charities he saved countries. Yeah, that's power
Yeah
And and that's that's influence more than just power and that to me is why I want to become a billionaire
But my life is not gonna change once I do and I'll still be doing everything I do now
just on a way higher scale and
My you know, I might get one private jet that might be my fun thing what other aspirations you plan on executing in the future
So this whole 180 movement that we just actually launched yesterday my birth today lots of movement mean
What's that mean a movement? So like a lot of creators, they they create content, right? Mmm. I I'm not trying to create content
I don't want to just put out
You know videos that someone's like oh they like it or whatever
I want to create a movement and a tribe of people who were having 108 your transformation
So a movement to me is somebody who's moving. It's it's a it's a group of humans, aren't we all moving?
We're all moving but not as fast as the 180 movements gonna be moving. I'll tell you that much
But it's it I want it. I want a group Eve. It's it's a group people at the same mission
And the thing is I used to call my audience than that ecstatics. They came up with the maddox act actually revoked it
We're not calling mat acting books. I don't want people to become an addict of me. Like obviously, you know me
That's not my vision. Like it's a great name and you know laughed and thought it was cool. But Hales, I mean it's hellraisers
Trying to call what's his name? He put it below we might come up with your tribe name, but for me
So the 180 movements the concept is, you know, the majority of the human race Avenue zero-degree transformation, you know
They're just an exact same place. They're just you know, they're just stagnant in their life
Kinda just floating. Then. There's some people who have a 360 transformation
I mean it though New Year's comes around and they go to the gym though, just and they
They change but then they change back
Yeah
I want to kind of move into people who have a hundred and a degree
Transformation and then once they have that on any of your transformation, they're done
They're locked in when they change who they are whenever they change their habits all that
It becomes a part of who they are
And it really is that true transformation and I want to move into people who are helping others have
180-degree transformation like where that's their focus. It's not Lambos. It's not cars. It's not you know money
Watches Rolexes all the stuff it lets get posted that stuff. So
It's just a watch. Yeah. Yeah, it's just
What's my slogan is that it really is?
Yeah, it's just what like I actually bought it's just a watch calm and I I still need to link it
But yeah, that's my I promote it whenever it comes in. Yeah, you want one?
Can I why do you think some people are more ambitious than others?
Well Kay so it's just kind of horizontal personality
I feel like I don't think it is personal I think cuz I've met a lot of people who
Who were not ambitious at all who had no mission?
Drugs go down the list and then something switched in them and then they got that ambition
They found that obsession and the next thing you know, they you know, they don't have a lot of success some random miracle
It's not a random miracle. It's it could be literally someone watching this right now
Yeah, but the keys this like it comes back to that word possession. It's what they found what their ambition is
Everyone has ambition
This is being human
but a lot of people know what their ambition is because they don't have any ambition to find their ambition life's has its ups and
downs
No question
um
Are you always when you're down do you try to get happy or do you just let or do you roll?
with it, or do you like let it I mean
Do you have like some sexy handsome mindset that snaps you out of it or whatever?
Yeah, I don't try you happy I try to get perspective. Okay. Happy is a weird word
I still think it's possible to be happy right literally actually, it's it's actually a hundred percent impossible
Hmm because the word happy comes from the word happenings. So it means what your what's happening right now
You're cool with hmm in life. What's happening right now is not always gonna be good
I've had times where I've literally looked in a mirror thought
Is this really the price? I have to pay to get to my mission?
Do I really have to make this sacrifice is this thing really going on Elon Musk?
I've won season all his success right, but he said he would literally rather eat glass
Then go through his journey again of how hard it's been Wow. It's a hard
It's it's hard. But the thing is I don't get happy. I mean, I'm not always gonna get super enthusiastic
There's time to take l's and feel the pain. Sometimes it's healthy, but I do try to get perspective
Well, there's been great it yet. Any last words? Yeah for sure, right?
First of all, I won't say I appreciate % wants time and attention, you know
Yeah, like I'm 17
And I do have a lot of confidence night and I do know that what I say is is valuable people at the same time
It's always crazy that I get to sit down share my message do and then people like spend time on it
So appreciate you guys doing this right on the watch and some Netflix
But the final thing I would say is this, you know
What a my main beliefs on life is the gun that kills the most people is the gonna
Meaning people say they're gonna write a book more gonna start a business and that gun
Called gonna ends up killing their dreams go I gotta say is this it's once again one of these courts that you see on Instagram
But they're seven days a week and some day isn't one of them
Like I look at me like I could
said I'm gonna write a book and I actually did I write out my goals every morning one of my goals was I'm gonna write
a book when I'm 20 and one day I was like
Why do I have to wait Tom 20 like why not? Just do it now?
I I
Literally pull out the notes my phone and started typing and I look at the life
I get to live that the you know traveling I get to do the kids who have read my book want a kid read my
Book and you know started his own business and has a lot of success. He's got any proof ever
Ryan seacrest like I look at all these things that's happened
Right and it's like man if I wouldn't have done it, then think that would have happened for those people
So my message is don't be selfish like show up in the way
You need to know how and it's time to show up now stop
wait
If you're a young person and there's a lot of young people the watches your young person you say I'm going to become a singer
Stop saying you're going to that's what's stopping you that gun is killing your singing dreams
You look at all the top singers. They went out on some they were on the streets
They made it happen somebody that's my final message. The gun that kills the most people is the gun
Whatever your gun is get rid of that gun take action now and it'll shock you where you end up
