  Hey everybody, good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  Oh, look at him like right on cue today there.
• 0:33
  Jeez, that cracks me up when he does that.
• 0:36
  So I have a question for you today because a lot of people
• 0:39
  recently have said they're endeavouring in new projects and
• 0:43
  people have given them feedback about how this project said
• 0:47
  project may not work. And I, I, I'm curious about who
• 0:54
  you're taking your feedback from.
• 0:55
  Now, I'm not suggesting that all of you have had this recently,
• 0:58
  but it seems to be when, whenever our economy starts to
• 1:01
  get weird and funky, people will start to look for alternatives.
• 1:06
  And a lot of them go into entrepreneurship, which is
• 1:09
  something that my family has been in absolutely forever.
• 1:12
  My dad's mom, my grandmother had opened her own remnant shop
• 1:18
  during the Depression, which is so impressive because she could
• 1:22
  do something. And my grand, my grandfather who
• 1:24
  owned a cabinet making business, obviously was not making
• 1:28
  cabinets in the middle of the Depression.
• 1:30
  So she figured out a business and she did it on her own.
• 1:34
  She was like, she's like my hero and my I was just brought up in
• 1:38
  the fact of listen, you always, you always go and have your own
• 1:42
  thing going, whether you do it full time or part time, you
• 1:44
  always have your own gig going. But hence back to feedback.
• 1:50
  So lots of people love to give feedback, don't they?
• 1:52
  Whether it's asked for it or not, people love to give you
• 1:56
  their opinion and, and feedback. And I always have to ask the
• 2:01
  question, what great achievement has been performed by this
• 2:06
  person that qualifies them to set up any limitations for you?
• 2:11
  What I mean honestly, what great, what great thing did they
• 2:15
  do? Unless they have done something
• 2:18
  that you admire so much and they have been the person that has
• 2:22
  run multiple businesses, they are qualified to sit there and
• 2:25
  give you the things that could potentially be a downfall.
• 2:29
  They have no business telling you anything that you should
• 2:32
  take in as a permanent opinion. So think of it this way, You can
• 2:38
  have somebody give you their opinion and their limitations
• 2:42
  and their reasons. However you want to look at it
• 2:45
  that you might maybe shouldn't do something.
• 2:48
  Sure, listen, because you never know what you're going to learn.
• 2:51
  And my opinion is there's always something to learn in every
• 2:54
  situation. There's always something to
• 2:55
  learn. That being said, what we do is
• 2:59
  not pay attention to it and take it in long term.
• 3:03
  We do not need to take something in long term.
• 3:06
  We just hear it and we let it go.
• 3:08
  We don't make it something that puts us in a position where it
• 3:12
  stops us from our dreams. I mean, hell, if I had let
• 3:15
  people stop me from my dreams or I would have never ever years
• 3:19
  ago gone to work for Tony Robbins.
• 3:21
  My mother thought it was the craziest thing in the whole
• 3:24
  world. She's like, well, you, you have
• 3:26
  your own business. Why would you do this?
• 3:29
  Because at the time I owned an advertising agency in a
• 3:31
  photography studio. And why would I go?
• 3:34
  Why would I do that? Well, there was just a part of
• 3:37
  me that always wanted as as great as I am at in my creative
• 3:42
  zone, there was a part of me from the time I was little that
• 3:46
  wanted to be a teacher, that wanted to be a writer, that
• 3:49
  wanted to do the things that I'm doing right this moment.
• 3:53
  And I just didn't do it because I was, you know, and believe me,
• 3:58
  my father was the one that told me I couldn't be a teacher
• 4:01
  because at the time in the world that when that was taking place,
• 4:04
  there was no technology to do what we did.
• 4:07
  There was no coaching. There was this this thing that I
• 4:10
  do didn't exist. So while his opinion was valid
• 4:15
  and I listened to him because he had achieved all the stuff that
• 4:19
  I wanted to. And I went down the road that
• 4:21
  opened up my world and created a business for me and everything
• 4:25
  else. The moment that I could do
• 4:27
  something else, the moment that I went down this road and had
• 4:30
  that exposure to self development, it changed
• 4:33
  everything. Now, that was after my father
• 4:36
  had passed away, I had other things open up, but I always
• 4:40
  kept it in the back of my head that I would look for that
• 4:42
  opportunity. Because when my father gave me
• 4:45
  the advice, he said something very important.
• 4:48
  He said if you can find a way to teach and you can find a way to
• 4:51
  teach and make really good money doing it, then then you should
• 4:57
  go into it. But you've got to always look at
• 4:59
  how much your time is worth. Ever since that man said that to
• 5:03
  me, I always look at how much my time is worth worth, and I value
• 5:07
  my time greatly. So I took in the advice, I held
• 5:11
  on to the information because I knew at some point something
• 5:15
  would have to come up. Something would have to come up.
• 5:18
  And once self-publishing got in the world and you didn't have to
• 5:21
  spend an inordinate amount of time and effort to get a
• 5:25
  publisher to pay attention to you because now you could have
• 5:28
  you commanded your own value, which is so important.
• 5:33
  So think about this, whatever you have going on, whatever you
• 5:38
  want to do, whatever you're thinking, you want to have
• 5:40
  happen in your world and you go out and you share it with
• 5:43
  people. Be careful who you share it
• 5:45
  with, because if you're looking for people to just be your
• 5:48
  cheerleaders, they don't. So, so choose carefully if
• 5:52
  you're looking for people to say, wow, you know, I'm so
• 5:56
  impressed by you. They don't because it's not
• 5:59
  about you when you're doing this.
• 6:00
  It's about them and where they are in their head.
• 6:02
  And if they're looking and they're comparing you to them,
• 6:05
  oh boy, that's even worse because by comparison, holy cow,
• 6:09
  they don't want to look at this and say you are where you are
• 6:13
  and I am where I am and I'm far lower than you and therefore I'm
• 6:17
  I suck. They don't want to be honest
• 6:19
  with what's happening in their world.
• 6:20
  They just want to put other people in their place.
• 6:23
  And I'm air quoting that as I say it so that they don't feel
• 6:26
  out of place. So be careful with who you share
• 6:29
  it with and be careful before you even ask the question and be
• 6:33
  careful about what you believe about it because you have to
• 6:37
  believe in your dreams more than anybody, otherwise they won't
• 6:40
  come true. I believed in this dream that I
• 6:42
  had of creating this magical world that I could share with
• 6:45
  everybody and use to show you how you can have anything.
• 6:49
  I have an amazing life I've created out here and I do.
• 6:52
  I do all that I do from a farm, I mean, think about that.
• 6:56
  I get to run this farm, create constant non-stop beautiful
• 7:01
  things out here and I get to do what I want to do.
• 7:04
  It's not an accident, it's a choice.
• 7:06
  So I hope you guys have a very blessed day and whatever you are
• 7:11
  doing and I will see you all tomorrow.
• 7:13
  Bye.
