85% of the result is determined in the first 15 of the process. In this episode, I'm going to teach you
how to use a predictable system to transform your wealth. Get ready, you're going to be blown away.
So, I'm Doug Andrew and I've been a financial strategist and helping people plan and prepare
for a comfortable retirement now for just about five decades. I've been doing this more than 48
years. I started in 1974, I'm currently in my 70th year and I'm going to share with you
a very powerful concept that I learned from one of my mentors marshall thurber who learned this
from one of his mentors Dr. Edwards Deming and it's how to create predictability in your life and it's
been a game-changer for me and I hope it will be for you also. So, here we go. Now, even though I've
helped many many thousands of individuals from all walks of life prepare for a comfortable retirement
and not outlive their money due to the negative impact of taxes, inflation, market volatility, and
so forth, and I've been blessed in my life to have written 11 books. I've got my 12th one I'm working
on right now and my fourth one actually became a New York times and wall street journal number one
bestseller. We were so blown away and grateful for the receptivity of that book. But all of them
have been best sellers and at the end of this episode, I want to gift you a copy of one of my
most recent best-selling books. okay. Now, I've also taught a lot of entrepreneurs business owners how
to create predictable systems in their business like I learned to do in my own business educating
people on how to have a brighter future. So, in this book, it's called the 10 keys transformation.
I teach that highly successful entrepreneurs develop unique and profitable processes almost every
successful orthodontist, doctor, anesthesiologist, realtor, cpa, attorney, real estate. It doesn't matter
who they are, they usually develop a predictable system. They don't even know it till I point it out.
So, you're going to see here that system is an acronym that I used, I'm not going to tell you what
it means yet. But effective management of anything in life in one word according to Dr. Edwards Deming
is predictability. Now, who is Dr. Deming? He is the total quality management engineer that transformed
japan to the quality they put out today compared to when I was a kid. Anything made in Japan was
junk or cheap. Meaning, when I was young we used to make fun of things made in japan and Deming he
was telling the big three automobile manufacturers here in America, Ford, GM, and Chrysler. If you don't
shape up on predictable quality at your factories you will not be the big three someday and they
laughed at him and that's why you know they regret it because in the 1970s the consumer reports came
out and said, "If you want the best chance of not having a lemon for a car make sure it's built on
a Wednesday", well, why was that? Well, because people would come to the factories on Monday and they
would have hangovers and they weren't folks they would make a lot of mistakes on the assembly line.
They didn't have a predictable system of for quality because they weren't focused and
then Tuesdays they were in the flow and cars were built better on Tuesdays. But Wednesdays were the
best cars. It was like a bell curve the best cars came off the assembly lines on wednesday because
people were focused it was the middle of the week they were in the flow. But then when Thursday came
around they started getting chunky for the weekend Friday was all over and so the best cars were
built on Wednesdays. Well, you can probably imagine the havoc that created people go to buy a car and
they'd ask the dealer when was this car built and if it was built on a Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday,
or Friday, they wanted a substantial discount or they wanted the mechanic to go through it and
because of that consumer report well, Deming predicted that. But in the meantime, he went over
to Japan and he met with Toyota, Honda, and Nissan, and said, "You're the laughing stock of the world",
I spent two years in Korea from 71 to 73 and the worst automobile in the world was Xinjiang.
I mean wealthy people in Korea they bought Chevys and Cadillac's now they laugh at them because the
Deming award is the most coveted award to this day in Japan, in Korea, because he created a predictable
systems and now, unfortunately, the big three are Toyota, Honda, Nissan, and Hyundai, built in South
Korea is the number one selling automobile in the world for the money and that's all Deming, okay.
So, the concept is to create predictability. Now, to illustrate this I'm going to use a fun exercise
that you can use to get an audience to come up 85-90% of them will come up with the same
three words. Are you ready? Okay. I want to see how good you are with simple math. You can use
a cheat sheet if you want but listen very close. I want you to pick a number right now in your head.
Any whole number between 1 and 10. Are you ready to do the simple math? Okay, you got your number
between 1 and 10. Okay, now, double that number. Now you have a new number in your head. Now, add 8 to
that number. So, so far, you had a number between 1 and 10 and I ask you to double it and then
add 8 to that number. Now you have another new number in your head. Now, divide that number in half.
That last number take half of that number now you have another new number in your head. Now subtract
the original number you started out with from that last number, okay. You should have a final number
in your head. I ask you to pick a number between 1 and 10 double it add 8 divide by 2 and subtract
the original number from that last number. So, you've got a final number in your head.
Now, take the final number you arrived at and pick the corresponding letter of the alphabet that that
number represents. So, if your last number ended up being one that would be the letter A. So I want you
to pick the letter of the alphabet that number represents. If your number was two that would be B.
Three would be C. Four would be the letter D. Five would be E, okay. Have you got the letter of
the alphabet your number represents? So, take that letter and pick a country whose name starts with
that letter and I want you to use the American name for that country not the foreign name
and let's use a country in Europe or the Baltics that starts with that letter. There will be one
there. It'll be towards the beginning of the alphabet. So, A might be austria, B Belgium,
C Czech republic, D Denmark, E England or Estonia, F France, G Germany, H Hungary, I Ireland
or Italy. Okay, have you got a country? Take the last letter in the name of the country
you came up with and pick an animal a zoo animal that starts with that letter. An animal that's not
indigenous to the United States but you'd probably find in a zoo here. So now you've got a country and
a zoo animal that starts with the last letter in the name of that country. Now, take the last
letter in the name of that zoo animal and pick a common fruit whose name starts with that letter.
You got a country, a zoo animal, and a fruit. I know what 85 to 90 percent of you came up with.
Denmark, Kangaroo, Orange, is that what you thought of? How many of you came up with
Denmark, Koala, Apple? That means you're unique. Now, I just created predictability.
Now, let me just say something. If you didn't get four for your final number you need to brush up
on your math. But I just created predictability. So, when I say Denmark, Kangaroo, Orange, after doing
this exercise it is synonymous with predictability not a hundred percent will come up with that.
Because sometimes people think Denmark, Kiwi, you know they think Denmark, Koala, Kiwi or Apple
or something else. But 90% come up with this it's very predictable. So, what does this mean?
System is an acronym that I use that stands for save yourself time energy and money by creating a
predictable system. So, here's the system that I've used for years to make a meaningful transformation
for my clients. When they come through Dr. Deming taught that 85 of any successful result you want
in life is determined in the first 15 of the process. It took me three years to get this.
I do not want this to take you any more than maybe three hours. Now, before I explain and show you this
process. If this is resonating with you, I would strongly recommend you subscribe to this channel.
Why? Because I have over 500 educational videos like this when they're free and I post a new
one almost on a daily basis. So click the little bell when you subscribe, but share, post a comment,
click like. These are game-changing principles and this is about you not about me. So, let me
connect the dots and show you what you can do and I want to gift you a copy of one of my books here.
When it took me three years to learn this I was helping my clients go through an eight-step
process that I brand-educated called the true wealth transformer. I wanted to transform people
because people appreciate a meaningful transformation not just financially
but in all three dimensions of authentic wealth that you can learn about on this channel.
And so, this is an eight-step process it begins with the enlightenment experience. It's getting it.
It's learning, reading, watching. People like to learn all kinds of different ways that's why I
write books and have this Youtube channel and so forth and I have a national radio show. But then
we would bring them in and talk about their true wealth discovery. Where are they at and where is it
they're wanting to go and then I would show them a strategic design on how to get to their desired
destination. The quickest fastest safest way possible and then we would tweak it and arrive at
their success formula and then we would go through a refinement process and make it flexible so that
life being full of curveballs that they can make adjustments all the way through
and we would arrive at an action blueprint. This may take six months it may take nine
months but the entire eight-step process would usually take at least five years.
Because we would implement all of the changes. We would set up an equal opportunity trust.
We'd set up their financial family bank and make sure that they had some laser funds so they
wouldn't outlive their money and then we would get together for an accountability meeting once a year
where we felt like we needed to answer what have we done to create value for you and your family
during the last year and what do we intend to do during the next year to create value for you
and your family and what makes us unique and why should you continue to do business with us?
But we wanted our clients to be accountable to themselves. Are you on track to continue to
do things the way you were going to do it and fund it the way you're going to do? Has anything changed
that we need to make adjustments because we need to be flexible and make those fine-tune
adjustments. So you stay on course have any changes happen so that we have to make those
adjustments so that you are on track. That's the accountability factor. Now this eight-step process
has been so successful Denmark, Kangaroo, Orange, for 90% of our people who engage with us. The other 10%
they never follow through but what was Dr. Deming's concept 85 percent of this result was determined
in the first 15 of the process. What is that? It's the enlightenment experience. It's getting it.
If you don't get it then the rest will not have them but this is just like dominoes, okay. They all fall
into place when you get educated. So, I'm big on education that's why I have this channel. That's
