I 47 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:24,860 immigrated this country when I 48 00:01:24,860 --> 00:01:26,000 was six years old with my 49 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,080 brother Albert my mother's 50 00:01:27,140 --> 00:01:29,180 ranche. We didn't have much. I 51 00:01:29,180 --> 00:01:30,380 remember we shopped at an 52 00:01:30,380 --> 00:01:31,880 expired food store growing up, 53 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,140 believe it or not, they had them 54 00:01:33,140 --> 00:01:34,400 back then, and drank powdered 55 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:35,480 milk with our cereal in the 56 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:36,740 morning because was cheaper than 57 00:01:36,740 --> 00:01:38,360 real milk. And, trust me, sounds 58 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:39,860 better than it is. And you know, 59 00:01:39,860 --> 00:01:40,900 I wore clothes on the hand me 60 00:01:40,900 --> 00:01:42,040 down, close on the goodwill and 61 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:43,120 the Salvation Army all the way 62 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:44,380 through junior high school, till 63 00:01:44,740 --> 00:01:46,300 I finally got a job at Burger 64 00:01:46,300 --> 00:01:47,500 King, flipping burgers so I 65 00:01:47,500 --> 00:01:48,760 could buy my own clothes and 66 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,020 ultimately buy a car. And you 67 00:01:50,140 --> 00:01:51,160 know, you may have listeners, 68 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:52,480 had it harder than I did, maybe 69 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:53,800 even have it harder now with all 70 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:54,940 the craziness, but I knew I 71 00:01:54,940 --> 00:01:56,620 wanted more. And luckily, my mom 72 00:01:56,620 --> 00:01:58,180 had an incredible work ethic, so 73 00:01:58,180 --> 00:01:59,560 she babysat kids so we'd have 74 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:00,600 enough money to eat with her 75 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,040 babysitting money. She was a bit 76 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:03,540 of an entrepreneur. She invested 77 00:02:03,540 --> 00:02:04,320 in the stock market 78 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,420 successfully, and also in real 79 00:02:06,420 --> 00:02:08,040 estate. Her first real estate 80 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:09,300 buy was a house right across the 81 00:02:09,300 --> 00:02:10,620 street. She bought from us when 82 00:02:10,620 --> 00:02:12,660 I was 14 for about 30 grand. And 83 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,220 then when I was 17, she told me 84 00:02:14,220 --> 00:02:16,080 she'd made $20,000 in her sleep. 85 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,820 And this is when 20,000 was a 86 00:02:17,820 --> 00:02:19,860 lot of money. This 1977 and I 87 00:02:19,860 --> 00:02:21,200 was like, what you made 20,000 88 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:22,820 you didn't do anything. Forget 89 00:02:22,820 --> 00:02:23,960 College. I'm getting into real 90 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:25,100 estate. So I, I got into real 91 00:02:25,100 --> 00:02:26,300 estate. My first year in real 92 00:02:26,300 --> 00:02:27,200 estate, I made about eight 93 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:28,640 grand. My second year about 10 94 00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:29,840 grand. But my third year, I made 95 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,880 it over $100,000 which, back in 96 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,560 1980 was some pretty decent 97 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,000 change. So what happened between 98 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,080 year two and year three that 99 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:37,220 caused me to 10x my income? 100 00:02:37,220 --> 00:02:38,480 Well, what happened was I met a 101 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,220 guy. I was dating his daughter, 102 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:41,240 and he taught me about the 103 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:42,640 importance of mindset 104 00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:43,840 psychology, how really, 80 to 105 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,700 90% of your success in anything 106 00:02:45,700 --> 00:02:47,440 is just that your mindset. Only 107 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,420 10 to 20% is the mechanical 108 00:02:49,420 --> 00:02:50,440 stuff we talk about on our 109 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,060 podcast. And you know, fast 110 00:02:52,060 --> 00:02:53,260 forward to today. I've owned 111 00:02:53,260 --> 00:02:54,760 over 2000 houses that I've 112 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,260 rented long term. I own 1000s of 113 00:02:56,260 --> 00:02:59,020 apartment units now. In 2006 my 114 00:02:59,020 --> 00:03:00,900 net worth went up $17 million 115 00:03:00,900 --> 00:03:02,640 dollars while I slept. And you 116 00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:04,320 might say, wow. And I said, Wow. 117 00:03:04,380 --> 00:03:05,820 And I got a head so big I could 118 00:03:05,820 --> 00:03:07,140 barely fit it through a door. I 119 00:03:07,140 --> 00:03:08,280 thought I was a real estate God. 120 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:09,540 You know, when that happens, God 121 00:03:09,540 --> 00:03:10,800 of the universe will give you a 122 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,960 nice little Smackdown. As you 123 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,460 described in my intro. I lost 124 00:03:14,460 --> 00:03:16,500 $50 million in 2008 and nine. 125 00:03:16,500 --> 00:03:17,880 And so what I'm known for 126 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:19,440 talking about on my podcast, 127 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:20,840 and, you know, in my social 128 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,640 media and all that is the the 129 00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:24,080 mindset it took to have that to 130 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,220 lose in the first place. But 131 00:03:25,220 --> 00:03:26,600 probably as important, maybe 132 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:27,740 more importantly, was the 133 00:03:27,740 --> 00:03:29,240 mindset it took to recover from 134 00:03:29,660 --> 00:03:30,920 that. And so I'm happy to drill 135 00:03:30,920 --> 00:03:32,240 down on some of those strategies 136 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:33,380 with you, if you'd like, Robert, 137 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,000 because they, they're the same 138 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,380 strategies that someone would 139 00:03:36,380 --> 00:03:38,240 use to get started, frankly, to 140 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,200 actually, you know, to what I 141 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,480 used to recover from that was 142 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:44,260 the same is, are the same 143 00:03:44,260 --> 00:03:45,760 strategies used just to, you 144 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:46,720 know, get off your butt and 145 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:47,980 actually make something happen. 146 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:49,060 So yeah, and 147 00:03:49,540 --> 00:03:50,320 Robert Plank: it seems like we 148 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:51,460 always have to be in motion, 149 00:03:51,460 --> 00:03:52,420 right? Like, when you're young 150 00:03:52,420 --> 00:03:53,380 and you're a kid, you think, 151 00:03:53,380 --> 00:03:54,520 like, oh, maybe someday I'll do 152 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:55,780 this. But then when you're an 153 00:03:55,780 --> 00:03:57,400 adult, you have bills to pay, 154 00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:58,420 right? You have things to pay 155 00:03:58,420 --> 00:03:59,740 off. There's time is of the 156 00:03:59,740 --> 00:04:01,500 essence. And so it seems like 157 00:04:01,500 --> 00:04:03,240 there's some kind of, like, 158 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:04,800 magic factors in place, right? 159 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,300 There's people that maybe are 160 00:04:06,300 --> 00:04:07,920 lazy or unmotivated or 161 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:09,180 undisciplined or don't have a 162 00:04:09,180 --> 00:04:10,620 plan, versus those that do. So 163 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:11,760 like, what do you think the 164 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,440 difference is? Like, you're all 165 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:14,700 about mindset. Well, sure. What 166 00:04:14,700 --> 00:04:15,840 kind of mindset do we need? 167 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:17,220 Rod Khleif: Well, I'll tell you, 168 00:04:17,220 --> 00:04:18,420 if you come to one of my boot 169 00:04:18,420 --> 00:04:19,680 camps, for example, the first 170 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:20,820 thing we do is goal setting on 171 00:04:20,820 --> 00:04:22,520 steroids, because how do you get 172 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:23,720 anything if you don't know what 173 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:24,740 it is, okay, you've got to 174 00:04:24,740 --> 00:04:25,880 create that, that hunger, or 175 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,200 what Napoleon Hill, in his book, 176 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:28,400 Think and Grow Rich, calls a 177 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:29,780 burning desire. You got to want 178 00:04:29,780 --> 00:04:30,980 it, because that's how you're 179 00:04:30,980 --> 00:04:32,060 going to push through fear. 180 00:04:32,060 --> 00:04:33,140 That's how you're going to push 181 00:04:33,140 --> 00:04:34,280 through limiting beliefs, you 182 00:04:34,280 --> 00:04:35,120 know. And that's how you're 183 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:36,320 going to get back up when you 184 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:37,640 get knocked down. You know, 185 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,080 average ability with burning 186 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,440 desire equals success. So, you 187 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:42,520 know, it starts with goal 188 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,140 setting, and then, and then, you 189 00:04:44,140 --> 00:04:45,460 know, and then the next piece 190 00:04:45,460 --> 00:04:46,600 is, is you've got to make a 191 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,160 decision. And I don't mean dip 192 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:49,360 your toe in the water. I don't 193 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:50,500 mean one foot out, like when I 194 00:04:50,500 --> 00:04:51,820 lost everything. I decide, okay, 195 00:04:51,820 --> 00:04:53,260 get your butt back up quick, 196 00:04:53,260 --> 00:04:54,880 quit feeling sorry for yourself, 197 00:04:54,940 --> 00:04:56,320 and get started again. So first 198 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:57,640 thing I did was I reassociated 199 00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:58,900 with my goals, and that's the 200 00:04:58,900 --> 00:05:00,300 first thing you should do if.

And once you 204 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,180 make a decision, you're 100% 205 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,580 committed, you're not going to 206 00:05:08,580 --> 00:05:09,840 get knocked off track, if you're 207 00:05:09,840 --> 00:05:11,460 just interested, quote, unquote, 208 00:05:11,460 --> 00:05:12,540 you're going to get knocked off 209 00:05:12,540 --> 00:05:13,620 track. Once you're committed, 210 00:05:13,620 --> 00:05:14,880 you're like a train on a track. 211 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,260 So your motivation will get you 212 00:05:16,260 --> 00:05:17,640 started, but that decision and 213 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:18,960 commitment will bring you home. 214 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,160 And so you know. And then once 215 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:23,900 you've made that commitment and 216 00:05:23,900 --> 00:05:25,040 that decision, you've got to 217 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:26,960 take the first step. And you 218 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,820 know, Dr Martin Luther King 219 00:05:28,820 --> 00:05:30,140 said, You take that first step 220 00:05:30,140 --> 00:05:31,700 in faith, then the next step 221 00:05:31,700 --> 00:05:32,960 will be revealed. You don't have 222 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:34,400 to see the whole staircase. And 223 00:05:34,580 --> 00:05:35,600 you know, I get a lot of 224 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,520 analytical people, you know, 225 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,680 that listen to my podcast or 226 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,020 come to one of my boot camps, 227 00:05:41,020 --> 00:05:42,160 and that, you know, and I love 228 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:43,360 you, if that's you.

You 232 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,780 know. You've got to recognize 233 00:05:49,780 --> 00:05:50,800 that you can drive all the way 234 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,000 across the United States at 235 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,200 night with your headlights only 236 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:54,640 seeing 50 feet in front of you. 237 00:05:54,820 --> 00:05:56,200 And you know you can make it. 238 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:57,280 You know other people have made 239 00:05:57,280 --> 00:05:58,480 it before you. Yes, you may have 240 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,140 some obstacles, but you know, 241 00:06:01,140 --> 00:06:03,060 you know, you can make it. And I 242 00:06:03,060 --> 00:06:04,560 see it with real estate, with my 243 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,000 students a lot. You know, my 244 00:06:06,180 --> 00:06:07,560 it's like the law of the first 245 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,360 deal. It's the scariest. It 246 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:10,560 takes the longest. It might be 247 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:11,760 six months in, eight months in, 248 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:12,900 and I'm kicking him in the butt. 249 00:06:12,900 --> 00:06:13,980 Come on. You got this, you can 250 00:06:13,980 --> 00:06:15,120 do it. And then they get one, 251 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:16,080 and they say, you know, they 252 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:17,220 have three. I'm like, what just 253 00:06:17,220 --> 00:06:18,240 happened? You know, it's that 254 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,160 they take that first step. But 255 00:06:20,340 --> 00:06:22,040 here's the thing, don't fear 256 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,360 failure. So especially you 257 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:24,560 analytical ones, you know how 258 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,240 you fear failure, fear regret, 259 00:06:26,300 --> 00:06:27,920 fear being in the same place you 260 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:29,060 are right now a year from now, 261 00:06:29,060 --> 00:06:30,200 or two years from now, unless 262 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:31,400 you absolutely freaking love 263 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:32,540 where you are right now. And 264 00:06:32,540 --> 00:06:33,560 here, you know, there was this 265 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,300 nurse in Australia, Robert, a 266 00:06:35,300 --> 00:06:37,220 hospice nurse. So she was taking 267 00:06:37,220 --> 00:06:38,420 care of patients when they were 268 00:06:38,420 --> 00:06:39,380 about to die. Her name is 269 00:06:39,380 --> 00:06:41,680 Bronnie Ware, and she asked him 270 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,180 a question. And the question 271 00:06:43,180 --> 00:06:44,500 was, Do you have any regrets? 272 00:06:44,620 --> 00:06:45,700 And she wrote a book about it's 273 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:46,840 like a best seller, something 274 00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:48,460 like the Five Regrets of Dying. 275 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:49,480 You know what? The number one 276 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,220 regret was, not living the life 277 00:06:51,220 --> 00:06:52,240 I could have lived, living 278 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:53,560 someone else's life, not doing 279 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,000 what I know I'm capable of. I 280 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,140 can't think of anything worse 281 00:06:56,140 --> 00:06:57,280 than that. You know. So fear 282 00:06:57,280 --> 00:06:59,560 that don't fear failure. And 283 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,340 speaking of fear, you know, even 284 00:07:02,340 --> 00:07:03,720 the most successful people on 285 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,100 the planet have fear, you know. 286 00:07:05,100 --> 00:07:06,060 So what is fear? After 287 00:07:06,060 --> 00:07:07,560 everything and run? You know, 288 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:08,640 that's what a lot of people 289 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:09,900 think it is. I like to think 290 00:07:09,900 --> 00:07:11,580 it's, you know, false evidence 291 00:07:11,580 --> 00:07:14,160 appearing real for sure. And, 292 00:07:14,220 --> 00:07:15,360 and I like to think it's face 293 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:16,440 everything and rise. Because, 294 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:17,760 again, even the most successful 295 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:18,960 people on the planet have fear. 296 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:19,860 They call it stress. We 297 00:07:19,860 --> 00:07:21,140 entrepreneurs, we call it 298 00:07:21,140 --> 00:07:23,360 stress, but it's fear and the 299 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:24,860 other thing, but they move 300 00:07:24,860 --> 00:07:26,240 through in spite of it. And so, 301 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:27,200 you know, you're going to have 302 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:28,220 fear. You just got to move 303 00:07:28,220 --> 00:07:29,360 through in spite of it. Action 304 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,520 mitigates fear. But the other 305 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,260 thing is limiting beliefs. So 306 00:07:33,380 --> 00:07:35,060 when I immigrated this country, 307 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:36,380 I got thrown into school. I 308 00:07:36,380 --> 00:07:37,640 found out what bullies were for 309 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:38,780 the first time. So I got my butt 310 00:07:38,780 --> 00:07:40,040 kicked occasionally, and then my 311 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:41,060 mom, in fact, I've got them 312 00:07:41,060 --> 00:07:42,220 right here. I got to show this 313 00:07:42,220 --> 00:07:45,040 to you. It's fun. Okay, sent me 314 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,260 to school in these wooden shoes. 315 00:07:47,260 --> 00:07:48,520 These are the actual ones we 316 00:07:48,580 --> 00:07:50,080 found them, and these leather 317 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:51,340 shorts the Germans wear for 318 00:07:51,340 --> 00:07:53,200 Oktoberfest. So of course, that 319 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:54,220 was crack cocaine for the 320 00:07:54,220 --> 00:07:55,420 bullies. I got my ass kicked 321 00:07:55,420 --> 00:07:57,700 again, and, you know, and then 322 00:07:57,700 --> 00:07:58,960 the bullies would chase me home, 323 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:00,240 and she chased them off with a 324 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:01,740 fly swatter true story, and then 325 00:08:01,740 --> 00:08:03,060 I'd get my butt kicked the next 326 00:08:03,060 --> 00:08:04,440 day. And I came up with this 327 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:05,880 belief system that I wasn't good 328 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,580 enough. So I used to ask myself, 329 00:08:08,580 --> 00:08:09,780 How can I show them I'm good 330 00:08:09,780 --> 00:08:11,340 enough? And a lot of people have 331 00:08:11,340 --> 00:08:12,720 these limiting beliefs, these 332 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,100 negative limiting beliefs, like 333 00:08:14,100 --> 00:08:15,120 I'm not good enough, I'm not 334 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:16,560 smart enough, I'm not young 335 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:17,700 enough, I'm not old enough, I 336 00:08:17,700 --> 00:08:18,720 don't, you know, I'm not 337 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:19,920 analytical enough. That was 338 00:08:20,100 --> 00:08:21,680 another one, right? And here's 339 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,120 the thing to remember, there's a 340 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:24,620 reason the acronym for belief 341 00:08:24,620 --> 00:08:27,140 systems is BS, because 99% of 342 00:08:27,140 --> 00:08:28,460 them are BS, but we believe 343 00:08:28,460 --> 00:08:29,480 they're real, you know, and they 344 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,580 can impact our entire lives. So 345 00:08:31,580 --> 00:08:32,720 I would caution you, if you're 346 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,280 aware of one of these, you know, 347 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:35,480 I used to be afraid to raise my 348 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:36,920 hand in front of Ted kids in a 349 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,420 classroom, and I speak in 1000s 350 00:08:38,420 --> 00:08:39,800 in front of 1000s of people a 351 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,740 year at events, Keynote events, 352 00:08:41,740 --> 00:08:43,240 and I'm usually in flip flops, 353 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:44,800 you know. But here's the thing, 354 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,000 if you've got one of these, 355 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:47,920 bring it out into the daylight. 356 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,240 Look at it with your adult, 357 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:50,800 adult, rational mind, and you'll 358 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,360 recognize that it's BS and it'll 359 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:53,620 dissipate. It takes time, but 360 00:08:53,620 --> 00:08:54,880 you got to consciously do it. I 361 00:08:55,540 --> 00:08:56,680 could keep going here, Robert, I 362 00:08:56,680 --> 00:08:58,120 just don't want to monopolize 363 00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,920 the whole conversation. This is 364 00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:00,700 Robert Plank: great. Taking it 365 00:09:00,700 --> 00:09:01,920 all in. You're speaking my 366 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,360 language, and it has me thinking 367 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,040 about, well, there's like the 368 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,440 person that you are now and the 369 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:08,580 person that you want to be in 370 00:09:08,580 --> 00:09:10,320 six months. And we all we hope 371 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:11,760 that we're always evolving, 372 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:12,960 right? Even where you're at, you 373 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:14,100 still want to be better, right? 374 00:09:14,100 --> 00:09:16,020 And so as far as someone may be 375 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,780 going from average, mediocre to 376 00:09:18,780 --> 00:09:19,980 they say, all right. Rod is 377 00:09:19,980 --> 00:09:21,080 saying all these great things, I 378 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,780 want to have more of the success 379 00:09:23,780 --> 00:09:25,700 mindset, less limiting beliefs, 380 00:09:25,700 --> 00:09:27,500 more imperfect action, all that 381 00:09:27,500 --> 00:09:29,120 good stuff, like, what are your 382 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,040 thoughts about the price to be 383 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:32,180 paid?

So 405 00:10:06,660 --> 00:10:07,980 you're what you focus on is 406 00:10:07,980 --> 00:10:09,960 super important and and whatever 407 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,280 you focus on is going to get 408 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:12,660 larger, positive, positive or 409 00:10:12,660 --> 00:10:13,800 negative. You know that people 410 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:14,820 call me and say, How do I get 411 00:10:14,820 --> 00:10:15,960 out of student loan debt?

She said, No, 419 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,680 I'm pro peace.

So he called 815 00:20:26,120 --> 00:20:27,080 his church. He found five 816 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:28,220 families that really needed 817 00:20:28,220 --> 00:20:29,360 help.

It wasn't even a one 821 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,260 bedroom, small little shack. And 822 00:20:36,260 --> 00:20:37,700 there was a Hispanic woman there 823 00:20:37,700 --> 00:20:38,900 with five kids, and she comes 824 00:20:38,900 --> 00:20:39,980 out. We bought toys for the 825 00:20:39,980 --> 00:20:41,200 kids. We had frozen turkey. We 826 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:42,520 had a lot of fun buying stuff. 827 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:43,600 She sees all the stuff on the 828 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,040 porch. She starts crying. Her 829 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:46,420 kids come out to the older ones 830 00:20:46,420 --> 00:20:47,740 start crying. I start crying, 831 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:49,720 and I'm and I'm hooked.

I've 841 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:06,600 done 1000s, 10s of 1000s, 842 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:07,860 actually, of backpacks filled 843 00:21:07,860 --> 00:21:09,120 with school supplies to local 844 00:21:09,120 --> 00:21:10,440 kids that don't even have the 845 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,120 basic supplies for school. Don't 846 00:21:12,120 --> 00:21:13,560 get me started on that greatest 847 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:14,700 country on Earth and no school 848 00:21:14,700 --> 00:21:16,080 supplies.
