Ladies and gentlemen, you once again welcome to the King James
1:20
Podcast and today I've got with me fighting out of South
1:26
Carolina, United States of America Mcwhacken, Dr Joey, the
1:32
rapid growth specialist George Hogan.
1:36
How are? You great to be here.
1:39
With her, Joey. Whoa.
1:42
You're a fighter now, Doctor Joey?
1:44
Yeah. I have been as needed.
1:48
All these wars, all those will be, you know, shortly before I
1:52
hit the record button, I said one thing that, you know,
1:55
fighters and entrepreneurs have in common is the fighting
1:59
spirit, you know, the fighting spirit.
2:02
And I did, I did confess to you that I was going to reschedule
2:06
this, you know, episode this session.
2:08
But when I saw the profile as that, OK, no, no thesis.
2:13
What's the Kingdom's podcast is about, right?
2:17
Growth mindset, leadership and business insight.
2:20
And this man ticks all of the boxes, right?
2:25
This man ticks all of the boxes. There is there is scheduling
2:28
this one. And guess what?
2:30
We are going to publish this right immediately after we're
2:34
done recording the curse. You are an epitome.
2:39
You are a paradigm of worth. This podcast represents, by the
2:44
way, this podcast is an education podcast and Apple
2:49
podcast categorises it under self improvement.
2:53
And if there is anybody who is self improvement in person in
2:59
human form, I think that has to be done.
3:01
And from me to you, it is love and respect to you.
3:06
Thank you very much for coming on the show today.
3:09
And I always say this gratitude is good attitude.
3:12
And when a person shares their time with you, they share their
3:16
life with you because the SI unit for measuring life, it's
3:20
time. So it's time to unlock the rapid
3:25
growth, subconscious mindset mastery and the scaling strategy
3:29
with Doc Joey, Joe Shogun. So we'll kick off with your
3:35
professional journey, SMT method and the mission behind helping
3:39
businesses and you know, business owners skill with
3:42
alignment and purpose. So how do you come about the SMT
3:46
method? It was yeah, man, it came about
3:51
because I thought I was broken. Really.
3:53
I grew up in a very low blue collar family, one of five
3:57
children in in a very struggling family.
4:00
I mean, struggling where people would have to bring groceries.
4:02
My dad worked his tail off to, you know, he operated heavy
4:05
equipment. He worked as many hours as he
4:07
could. And he ended up with knee
4:08
surgeries, hip surgeries, multiple back surgeries.
4:10
And if you just keep going and working as many hours as he
4:13
could to make ends meet. And, and, and that was what was
4:15
modelled for me. And when I was 22, I had an
4:21
opportunity to take over a construction company, an
4:23
existing multi $1,000,000 construction company.
4:26
I didn't have to even go get a loan.
4:27
We're going to cover it over A5 or seven-year revenue share to
4:30
do it. And, and that went from the most
4:32
exciting day of my life up to 22 years old to three days later me
4:36
telling him I, I can't do this. And the reason I couldn't do it
4:40
is because I felt so much guilt inside of myself that I didn't
4:43
work hard enough to deserve that opportunity.
4:46
That's I didn't know what it was, but I knew something was
4:50
broken within me. And from there I became a
4:52
student of the works I do today. I have a 28 year career in
4:56
corporate America, ground floor and sales driving for, you know,
5:00
years and years and years and not really getting any mark to
5:03
it to, to under as I understood the continuously looking at, you
5:08
know, continuously working on myself and trying to understand
5:10
this and what it was and do a culture programme after coaching
5:13
programme after coaching programme.
5:14
And I learned a lot, but it never changed my results to
5:17
understanding. And it wasn't, it wasn't guided
5:20
by me. It just happened.
5:21
It unfolded on to starting to understand the subconscious
5:24
mind. The subconscious mind is
5:26
responsible for 85% of the results we experience.
5:31
Not good or bad, just the results, whatever they are.
5:34
If there's struggle, 85% of that's coming from the
5:36
subconscious mind. The other is like hap chance or
5:39
things like that. If it's good things and growth
5:42
and things like that, it's coming from that programming.
5:44
So for me it was that programming causing my
5:47
limitation. There was never anything wrong
5:49
with me. You know, the God's child here
5:52
it was it was that when that programming in my subconscious
5:56
and that there's there's a motherboard in our subconscious
5:59
that hosts all of our programming.
6:01
Everything that we we have been told everything that we've
6:04
experienced, everything even experiences we don't have, but
6:07
somebody tells us about becomes embedded in that subconscious.
6:11
The importance of the subconscious towards our results
6:14
is the subconscious is responsible for triggering brain
6:18
waves to the actions we take or don't take.
6:21
So if for me with that construction company, lack was
6:25
one of my things, the other is deserving.
6:27
And so I couldn't get past that programming that I didn't
6:30
deserve that because I didn't work hard enough for it to
6:33
accept that. And that would have changed the
6:35
trajectory of my entire life in doing that.
6:37
And so it since that didn't happen, I went through years,
6:40
I've been the Guinea pig of this whole SMT method and change.
6:44
And so, so the whole thing happened.
6:46
And, and then as it started happening, I went from barely
6:48
getting by and afraid of losing my jobs to travelling 3000 to
6:51
5000 miles a week trying to develop territories and not
6:54
really making any mark at all. To within a year and a half of
6:58
understanding the subconscious and then getting help from
7:01
multiple sources and understanding how I can how I
7:04
can adjust that programming. And I didn't even know if it was
7:07
possible. I just believe the mustard seed
7:09
we talked about earlier. I just.
7:11
Believe the mustard seed. I'm just so happy you, you, your
7:16
mind that is loaded with a lot of value and nothing, nothing
7:22
excites me as in this life more than talking with people that
7:28
are people of value. I'm, I'm not trying to blow your
7:31
trumpet. And of course I'm not a hype
7:33
man. I'm a person who appreciates
7:36
people. You know, I give people the
7:39
flowers. I won't wait until you're dead
7:41
and but we're signing the condolence register or, or given
7:45
tributes. I love people getting their
7:47
tributes when they are alive, right.
7:50
And from me to you, it's, it's so much appreciation.
7:53
I, I don't think words are enough to express how much
7:57
appreciate you as a person because for, for me, everything
8:01
I have done in my life is actually towards achieving what
8:08
you stand for, right? And of course, my body of work
8:12
actually speaks to that effect. The King James forecasters
8:17
growth mindsets, business insights and leadership.
8:22
And that is what you represent. And of course, that's why I'm
8:24
speaking with you today. You know, you, you talked about
8:27
the subconscious mind and it's really, really, you know,
8:30
driving my curiosity, subconscious mind.
8:33
I'm a man of faith. You're a man of faith.
8:35
The Bible says as a man think it in his mind, so is he right?
8:41
And you talk about not deserving, you know, what was
8:45
handed over to you. And of course, in my mind, I was
8:48
thinking, is that a function of what's it called again, imposter
8:54
syndrome? Would you, would you say that
8:56
was imposter syndrome at the time?
8:59
And of course, you know, I'm very, very curious about the SMT
9:02
What does SMT even stand for? And you know, what was that a
9:06
hum moment right for you in your personal transformation?
9:11
Of course, at some point things changed for you.
9:14
Right, so the. SMT Yeah, that's.
9:15
What I was excited, the SMT method stands for subconscious
9:19
mindset training. So just to finish up what I was
9:22
saying before. So as I started getting help
9:24
with doing this and multiple people and you know, a lot of
9:27
years and doing so all of a sudden I started going from
9:30
barely getting by to landing $18 million contracts, $22 million
9:33
contracts, my higher. 1. Was $25 million year over year
9:37
contract and so I started doing that.
9:39
So then as I started going up in the leadership positions, I
9:42
started taking again, this SMT method wasn't even a thought or
9:45
nothing for me is I just started using some of those tools of
9:48
what I had learned over that two Dec 2 1/2 decades and started
9:52
applying it to my team. And I ended up in multiple
9:55
organisation corporations with the highest percentage of top
10:01
producers on sales teams that the companies had ever
10:04
experienced. And so as I started doing that
10:06
and then later on, I got into helping organisations in
10:08
bankruptcy to get back to profitability and, and at one
10:11
point my dad passed away of cancer and a year later my mom
10:15
passed away. Thank you.
10:17
She just didn't want to be alive without him.
10:19
And I found myself. In the Walker.
10:21
Now, and I'm still in corporate and now I have started getting
10:24
certifications and things like that.
10:26
And it's like, man, So I, once we found new owners for the last
10:29
company, I resigned and I moved down here to South Carolina up
10:32
in the mountains. And I've been, I started out
10:35
handing out five business cards a day because I didn't know
10:37
anybody down here, you know, and started building from there with
10:40
that, with that hope that mustard seeds though, and, and
10:42
it's just continued to grow and impact and, and it's just, and,
10:46
and the SMT method isn't something I sat down with a pen
10:49
and paper and wrote out. It came through me.
10:52
It was, it was God. It was God's work for me.
10:56
For the inspiration of the Holy Spirit it.
10:58
Was yeah, yeah. And so now I get to spend my
11:02
days helping people have like literally breakthroughs going
11:05
from $300,000 a year revenue to $3,000,000.
11:08
And it's as rewarding as that is the real gift in it is seeing
11:13
that person transform into the person being at that $3,000,000.
11:17
And I get to see that over and over and over again.
11:20
And it's just. $3,000,000 The The number 3 means a lot to me
11:23
right now because this broadcast was recently certified global
11:29
top 3%, right? And of course the goal is to
11:31
heat global top 1% before the end of this year 2025.
11:35
And of course I think I'm speaking with the right person.
11:38
I hope I'm gonna I'm I have you on recording now.
11:41
Are you committed to collaborate with us to achieve that
11:46
transformation into the comment of global top 1% our podcast are
11:51
are you committing to that? Nice, nice, yeah.
11:54
Thank you. OK, thank.
11:56
Thank you very much. And you?
11:57
Know how you talked about that with the scripture?
12:00
You know, as a man thinketh, shall we be think about that now
12:05
think about somebody who's going around with limiting thoughts,
12:07
with low self esteem, with worth issues, with things like that.
12:11
That's the same kind of things they're thinking.
12:13
That's the life they end up living.
12:15
So what the SMT method does better than anything else I've
12:19
ever come across, and there's reasons I say that is it helps
12:22
identify to bring awareness to those limitations and then holds
12:28
the tools to very quickly shift those, which then changes our
12:31
perception, which then changes our, the results that we
12:34
experience. So anybody who wants to change
12:36
their results, they have to change their perceptions.
12:39
The only way to do that on a permanent basis and quickly is,
12:43
is shifting that programming into subconscious level.
12:46
You know, I, I. I tell people something that the
12:48
brain is like a computer, right? And it's like a software.
12:52
And I feel like the subconscious mind is the OS, the operating
12:56
system, right, that the brain works with.
13:00
So people think, I think some people think that the mind is
13:04
here. But guys, the, the mind is here
13:08
because the brain is, you know what's controls the mind And you
13:15
say in 5% of the results we achieve in life, right?
13:20
Or the outcomes we have are a function of the subconscious
13:24
mind. So how about the conscious mind,
13:26
right? What role does it play?
13:30
So the conscious mind we have control over, the conscious mind
13:34
is the words we use, the thoughts that we entertain, the
13:38
people we hang out with. You know, all of that's in the
13:41
conscious mind, but also in the conscious mind is our knowing of
13:44
what we want. And then the subconscious mind,
13:49
all it does is absorbs. It doesn't determine right from
13:52
wrong, want from not want, whatever it is, it just absorbs.
13:55
And then that's what feeds into that motherboard of that
13:58
programming. And that's the voice we hear in
14:01
our head. It's the thoughts that come up
14:02
that go, ah, who do you think you are?
14:04
Man? This can't, this is going to be
14:06
a huge struggle to do this, but I'm willing to take it on.
14:08
And things like all of that stuff is coming from that, that
14:11
subconscious. And what we do is we live so
14:14
much of our life unconsciously, we're not even aware.
14:18
It's just that programme playing over and over and over and over
14:21
again. So it's playing and causing
14:24
limitation. And So what we do, we're, we're
14:26
programmed again to work harder, to put in more effort, more
14:30
hours, things like that. And so we try harder and harder
14:32
and harder to do it. And that's where you get the
14:34
mentality, like back in the day when it was like, you know, if
14:36
you want something, you got to put massive actions, exhaustive
14:39
efforts, and you got to be willing to trade off your life
14:41
in order to get it. But that was never true.
14:44
Back then, we just didn't know any different.
14:46
Today we do. It doesn't have to go like that.
14:49
You know, I help my clients. I help the client go work.
14:51
Smarts don't work hard. I hope the client go from $7.5
14:55
million in a 13 year high to topple over $22 million in 12
15:00
months and that in the year that that growth happened was the
15:03
only year of her adult life that she took five weeks of vacation
15:07
during that year that that and and the.
15:11
Now. Now you're making me jealous.
15:13
I love vacation. But the other thing, the other
15:15
thing that happened is, is it's specific to entrepreneurs here,
15:19
right? If you look at the definition of
15:21
an entrepreneur, they get into like a flow, right?
15:26
And that flow, as they continue to, you know, move as they're
15:30
going through it, they continue to adjust as they're going.
15:32
That's entrepreneurship. But so many people who claim to
15:35
be entrepreneurs are trying to find the ABC model that equals D
15:39
and follow that and call themselves an entrepreneur.
15:41
But that's not even what entrepreneurship is.
15:44
Entrepreneurship is, is where we live fully live alive and awake
15:50
and conscious of what's happening.
15:52
And we're shifting that path as we're going.
15:53
What works today may not work tomorrow.
15:56
AI, it could be, you know, it's one thing today, AI, yeah, I
16:01
know within within 18 months, AI is going to be doing so much
16:05
more. So if you're not, you know, as
16:07
entrepreneur, if you're not looking at those things now,
16:09
you're going to get behind on it.
16:11
So, and I'm just using that as example.
16:13
There's many other things, but entrepreneurship is really, you
16:17
know, one of the things I did during in COVID is I took up
16:19
Hang Gliding. So I jump off a 2000 foot
16:22
mountaintops with me and a glider, you know, and and and in
16:26
doing that, there's fear. But entrepreneurship is just
16:30
going to be fear. See if he is.
16:32
We, we can't do the same thing, expecting the same results over
16:35
and over and over again. We have to adjust and we have
16:37
to, you know, and, and, and it really is like taking a kayak
16:40
down the river. You know, we have to go with the
16:42
flow of it. As soon as we start paddling
16:44
upstream, we've stepped back into the unconscious living of
16:49
of massive actions. Exhaustive effort, you.
16:53
Know, and since you speak it, it, it makes me happy.
16:57
You know why growth mindset is the key theme of this podcast.
17:02
You know, people ask me how come you're talking about mindset and
17:05
you're talking about business insights on the same podcast.
17:08
I'm like, excuse me, do you know what drives business success?
17:15
It's basically your mindset, you know, and let us try to lean
17:18
kids, you know, directly to, to, to business success here, right?
17:23
What is it that most people get wrong about business growth and
17:27
business success? So one of the things is, you
17:31
know, I used to hear sayings all the time, if you want something,
17:34
find someone who has what you want and do what they did.
17:38
So we have a lot of coaching platforms, we have a lot of
17:41
teaching, we have books, all kinds of stuff built around that
17:43
philosophy. But it doesn't work because what
17:47
we don't understand is that person who put that model
17:49
together, that became hugely successful, they found their
17:52
pathway. And so when we follow a coaching
17:56
programme that's going to help us to grow and stuff, it's it's
17:59
a locked model. You do AB and C and you get to
18:01
D. And so we come in on it with
18:03
fury and excitement and all this stuff.
18:05
And then we find as we go through it without even
18:07
realising it, sometimes it's weak.
18:09
You have to. Contort the individual away from
18:12
who they authentically are in order to fit that model.
18:15
That's why with the SMT method, I there's a model, but the model
18:19
fluctuates to the individual. So, so it's based on their
18:23
unique desires of what they want to achieve, their unique
18:28
programming, their you, you know, all of their unique gifts
18:31
and skills and talents that that were placed within them when
18:35
they were brought to, you know, when they were born, all of
18:37
that. So it works off of that.
18:39
So it's in alignment with them. And I'll give you a quick
18:41
example, one of the. Things are different, folks one.
18:44
Of the things we do in the SMT method is we develop systems of
18:48
accelerating habits that are unique to that individual.
18:52
So I have over 700 clients I've worked with over the past 12
18:55
years. Now, one of them has the same
18:59
systems of habits as somebody else does.
19:01
They're unique to that individual.
19:04
We all have different handprints.
19:06
We do. We do.
19:08
We all have different desires. We all have different financial
19:12
goals, we all have different family goals.
19:13
We all have different programming within that
19:15
subconscious. Now, I was talking earlier about
19:18
the conscious and subconscious. So what happens is we know what
19:21
we want in our conscious mind, but we have this programming in
19:26
our subconscious that's the doing part of what we want.
19:30
And so it doesn't trigger the brain waves to take the actions
19:33
that will lead to that. So there's a gap between the
19:35
two. The way we close the gap, the
19:38
only way in 40 years of studies and everything else in my doctor
19:42
degree and being in philosophy, everything else is, is the only
19:45
way to close that gap is you have to go in there and
19:48
reprogram that subconscious motherboard.
19:51
In doing so, we start immediately opening up the door
19:55
for not only greater results, but achieving that with less
20:00
effort going into it. You know, Speaking of results,
20:04
right, the most important resort to business owners is profit,
20:09
profitability, right? But as a fractional CFO that I
20:15
am, you know, and of course, I'm a finance professional by
20:19
training chartered accountant, economist, masters in business
20:24
administration, global beak for, you know, consultants.
20:29
And I tell my clients something that people get often get things
20:35
wrong when it comes to business. Revenue is vanity, profit is
20:40
sanity or cash is reality, right?
20:44
When a business has consistent positive net cash flows,
20:51
especially net operating cash flows, you are able to operate
20:56
as a going concern. And being a going concern is
21:00
being able to operate for the foreseeable future without any,
21:06
you know, form of hindrances, right?
21:08
But when it comes to business owners, I think they tend to
21:13
focus on the wrong metrics. And I'm sure you, you've seen
21:17
this a lot in the course of your, your coaching career.
21:21
A lot of people focus a lot on revenue, right?
21:26
And some people focus a lot on expansion, expanding revenue,
21:31
expanding the operation and they, they've run into issues,
21:36
right? So you are a rapid growth
21:39
specialist. And with rapid growth comes, you
21:43
know, challenges and growth, if not done the right way, will
21:48
lead to crashing. And I'm sure you've actually
21:51
seen this things. So I just want you to talk about
21:54
the transformations you've seen in business and how you turn
21:57
around like, you know, bankrupt entities into profitable ones.
22:01
Yeah, you. Know here's how I do that is you
22:03
can't look at one or the other. You can't look at profitability
22:07
alone. You can't look at revenue alone.
22:10
You know you could be doing 70% profits, but if you're only your
22:12
revenues are only $1000 a month, you're not really bringing it in
22:17
like you want to, right. So you have to look at your
22:20
revenues, but you have to make sure that they are profitable.
22:23
So when I say about the rapid growth specialist, it's all
22:26
about profitable revenue growth. So now when you put those you
22:32
got to look at I've never worked with somebody and not have
22:34
looked at both of those things. You know you don't what you
22:37
could sell $1,000,000 and if your revenue and if your margins
22:40
are negative, you have nothing. And that is why you, you are the
22:45
rapid growth specialist. Specialist for a reason.
22:48
There's a reason why you have specialist to your title.
22:51
Well, so, so if you think about it in, in, in every
22:54
organisation, every business owner I work with, we start out
22:57
with where's your margin? Where's your margin level at
22:59
right now and why is that? And we start looking at that and
23:01
what the possibilities are coming up and things like that.
23:04
But then we start looking at, once we get a margin in place,
23:08
that's that, you know, works, then we start ramping up the
23:12
revenue because now you've got your margin.
23:14
Now as you're adding revenue, you're increasing more dollars
23:17
for that organisation. And then we come up with the
23:20
prudent reserves. We come up with things like
23:22
that. You know, the companies that I
23:23
work, the companies that I have helped get out of bankruptcy,
23:26
you know, at one time they had like $80 million in cash and
23:31
they just blew it. They did all kinds of stuff with
23:33
it and blew it thinking the times are always going to be
23:35
great. And then when he when he when
23:37
the times went down for the foundry industry, they had
23:41
nothing to back them up anymore because they blew through it.
23:44
So that's I. Like what you said, I'm so sorry
23:46
to interrupt you. I'm so sorry to interrupt you.
23:48
I love what you said. Nothing to back them up.
23:51
It speaks to something that I always say, that profits says
23:55
you're winning in business, but cash determines how long you can
23:59
stay in the game. Yeah.
24:01
And even business owners who I helped like they're, they're
24:03
fresh starting out and things like that, you know, and they
24:05
go, oh, I'll pay myself down the line and things like that go,
24:08
no, no, no, you'll never be successful there because you're
24:11
going to run into things. You're stepping out into
24:13
entrepreneurship, you're going to run into things.
24:16
Build a prudent, you have to pay yourself.
24:18
You have to build a personal prudent reserve that you can
24:21
fall back on in case there are times when you can't or things
24:24
like that, when it's our hiring staff or whatever it is.
24:26
But you have to have that because without that, your
24:29
business is gone very quickly. You don't have the money to feed
24:33
yourself. You can't run a business.
24:36
It just doesn't work unless you go into deeper depth with, you
24:40
know, lines of credit. And I hear that a lot with
24:42
entrepreneurs in line. And those are great if used
24:45
properly. So, yeah, that whole side of
24:47
things. It's it's the mix of it all.
24:49
It's not. You can't say this is this is,
24:51
you know, Christian, this is Satan.
24:54
It has to be. It has to be profitable margins
24:58
that set any products and then scaling that revenue.
25:02
That's really both of those are in combination with each other.
25:07
You know, I love what you say in terms of achieving that balance,
25:10
but would I say the the ex auditor in me is curious about
25:16
OK, how do you achieve that equilibrium?
25:19
You know, when we look at the, would I say I don't what do you
25:23
guys call it in, in America, the income statements, we call it
25:26
the statement of OK, income statements, basically you guys,
25:29
that's what you you call it. And of course for the balance
25:32
sheet, right, we call it the statement of financial position.
25:35
So the nomenclature is, you know, a bit slightly off in the
25:39
US and in the international, international financial reports.
25:42
Yeah, yes. So some people focus on assets,
25:47
right? Some people leverage that is the
25:52
equity is probably less than the, the, the liabilities,
25:57
right? They, they, they bring in a lot
25:58
of, you know, excel capital like you, you, you, you talked about
26:04
or when come to the income statement revenue top line.
26:09
But in the process of scaling, you discovered that your
26:13
operating expenses tend to, you know, rise up very, very fast.
26:19
And sometimes it erodes the bottom line, right?
26:21
But Someone Like You, you are a specialist.
26:24
You, you know, how to, you know, peg certain things and ensure
26:29
that, you know, certain, you know, operating expenses are
26:32
kept under check in order to scale effectively and
26:38
efficiently, right? So I'll, I'll like for you to
26:41
touch on that because, you know, a large population of our
26:43
listeners are, you know, entrepreneurs, finance people.
26:47
At some point, every client I work with, they have to start
26:51
building a team, right? You build up the revenue until
26:55
too much and I'm not an advocate and let's hire the team and then
26:58
go out and get the revenue. I've got entrepreneurships about
27:01
that flow. So as things are growing, at
27:04
some point before it gets to be like overwhelming as we start
27:08
bringing people in and things like that.
27:09
When we do that, we got to go back to the margins and look
27:11
because they impact margin. And so we got to look at what
27:14
that margin is. Now sometimes starting out
27:16
hiring a couple people, we may be able to weigh out that margin
27:20
with the revenue gain and things, especially if they're
27:22
hiring sales people and things like that because they're
27:24
bringing in. So they're still bringing more
27:26
dollars in with it. But at some point we got to
27:28
start adjusting that margin each time we got to adjust the margin
27:31
to see what that impact is going to be on growth.
27:35
And and then we make adjustments in that.
27:37
Sometimes it's, it's going through and figuring out where
27:39
we can save costs, what we can cut out in doing that and stuff
27:42
to keep that margin. Ideally, I would love to see
27:45
every one of my clients at 100% margin, you know.
27:49
Depending on the industry though.
27:52
Well, it's not possible. I haven't found an industry yet
27:55
where that's possible to do. But what I'm saying by that
27:58
though is we want to constantly monitor and we want to shift
28:01
that upwardly and at the same time simultaneously grow those
28:06
revenues and then the margin continues to go.
28:09
Now I have companies who they have scaled from a couple $1000
28:13
a month when I met him a couple years ago, who is currently
28:15
doing right around $55,000 a week in revenue.
28:21
So now he's got his team in place.
28:22
We've gone through the margins, we've gone through all that
28:24
stuff. Now what he's doing is he's
28:26
looking at acquiring companies. So now that we've built up the
28:31
Peruvian reserve, he has money to rely on with it.
28:34
He has, you know, you know, things like that set up.
28:36
Now he's got a line of lines of credit, things like that and
28:39
stuff that he has available to him.
28:40
Now he can go out and buy a company and double his size,
28:42
triple his size with purchasing one company.
28:46
You know, now when we, when we bring that in and we start going
28:49
through the same thing, what are, what are their margins
28:52
based on their revenues and where do we adjust that?
28:54
Where do we, you know, where do we, how do, how do we tweak that
28:58
to get that as high as we can, but then now between both
29:02
companies continue increasing that revenue.
29:06
You know, I, I have a serious issue with, you know, business
29:09
combinations a lot of times if you just look at the numbers,
29:12
but they don't look at the, what I say, qualitative factors like
29:16
the cultural clash, right? You know, the, the integration
29:20
of the people because the people make the company, right.
29:24
But I'd like for you to speak on efficiencies that are achieved
29:30
by way of AI. Because for my own company, for
29:34
example, we leverage a lot on AI tools.
29:37
But the truth is this, AI tools are also not free.
29:39
So sometimes you need to weigh that balance between, you know,
29:44
would I say getting certain activities or certain tasks done
29:47
by a human or, you know, by way of getting that efficiency
29:53
through IT tools. So in your experience, how have
29:58
companies been able to leverage on AI to would I say, achieve
30:03
efficiency and of course scale faster?
30:06
Well, as as far as AI mean there's so many uses for it and
30:09
things like that and stuff as far as even marketing, it can
30:12
help with marketing plans. It can help with your, your, you
30:15
know, your pitches that you give as far as sales pitches and
30:18
things like that can help with presence out, like all of that
30:20
stuff. It can help across the board.
30:22
It can help you can help with motivating, you know, the, the
30:25
individuals within the, you know, within the organisation
30:27
and things like that. But one thing to kind of back up
30:29
a little bit when you talked about that with like a quite
30:32
what I call acquiring companies and stuff like that.
30:34
I'm not an advocate when I'm working with CEO or board or
30:37
president, you know somebody who owns your own business.
30:40
I am not an advocate of you buy this company and you let them
30:44
continue to operate the way they have been.
30:47
I am an advocate for you go in there and you set the structure
30:52
that's working for you in this company in that and then
30:56
eventually you find somebody that manages that that's, you
30:59
know, could be from your own organisation.
31:01
So it's not, you miss a lot of that struggle that comes up when
31:05
it's like 2 different organisations, 2 completely
31:08
different philosophies and, and all that stuff is you're
31:11
bringing that under your umbrella of what worked for you
31:14
to build what you have here. Because the cultural clashes a
31:19
lot of times tend to lead to inefficiencies and a lot of
31:23
friction. And it's not what you want as an
31:26
entrepreneur, you know, but as far as AI goes, right is really
31:31
changing the landscape or of business, right?
31:35
I look at my. Landscape my life, really.
31:38
It's changed the landscape absolutely.
31:40
Because I think about it, people ask me, how were you able to
31:43
achieve global top 3% in less than two years?
31:47
A very, very big shout out to AI.
31:50
And of course, I am AI myself. You know, like it's crazy how a
31:55
lot of the people I used to look up to in the world of
31:57
podcasting, I look at them, I look at my show and we have
32:01
similar following similar streams and download numbers.
32:05
This is what AI can do. And of course, big shout out to
32:08
Gamma app. They are our affiliate partners.
32:12
Gamma actually helps you to create fantastic presentations,
32:16
you know, fantastic images, fantastic websites, you know
32:20
Peaches like you talked about, you know, the great and gamma.
32:24
So guys, check out our gamma affiliate link and of course,
32:28
you know, go sign up and of course promote the show, support
32:32
us. We make something, we make a
32:35
sweet Commission from the Gamma app sign ups.
32:40
So we have just 9 minutes left because Doctor Joey is a very,
32:45
very busy man. Of course, I'll try to milk what
32:48
we can actually get out of the last, you know, 9.
32:52
Now it's 8 minutes right on the podcast.
32:54
So a lot of entrepreneurs struggle with the knowing, doing
32:58
gap and how can they overcome it.
33:01
The surest way I've found to do that, and this is what a lot of
33:04
people do, is you lower your expectations of what you want
33:09
that, without knowing it matched the programming.
33:12
That's one way of doing it, and a lot of people do that.
33:14
Whenever I hear people talk about a plan A and Plan B, we
33:17
have a plan A. This is what we want right here.
33:20
This is what we want, but I'd be willing to settle for this
33:25
whenever that happens. We arrive somewhere around this.
33:29
So, so we, we, we settle for scraps of what's really
33:33
possible. And so with the SMT method in
33:36
the dynamic visioning, we set up that a plan and that's what we
33:39
go for. And that's all that there is
33:40
possible. Is that a plan?
33:42
So we shift everything to fit into that.
33:44
And the other way I know to do it is shift your perceptions,
33:48
which means you have to go back in, identify and shift that
33:51
programming to match what it is you truly want.
33:56
There are two ways it can happen.
33:58
You either settle for less than or you do the work of
34:01
programming. And because here's one of the
34:03
things with all this stuff is you cannot go out and get to
34:08
your vision. You can't go anywhere and get to
34:10
your vision. You can't go to church, can't
34:12
hang out with the right people. You can't, you know, none of
34:15
that. You have to come from within,
34:17
from that within you. And if we have the desire, that
34:21
means the way is already planted in us.
34:24
We just don't see it. So we in becoming of that
34:29
person, in shifting, identifying and shifting that programming is
34:33
how we get to becoming of that person, living that life.
34:36
And for the guy that was the $3,000,000 with the wholesale
34:39
company from 300,000, what in a year you know, to three million
34:44
and now we're going to 5 million.
34:46
He brought me down to up to Ohio last week to celebrate because
34:50
he was planning on doubling his warehouse facility next year.
34:54
Instead, January things just came together.
34:58
He ended up quadrupling his warehouse and he was doing the
35:01
open house on it last week. And so I got to go up there and
35:04
be a part of that and stuff and meet his family and just like,
35:08
it's just so amazing seeing the impact this has and getting to
35:12
be a part of it in. People's lives.
35:15
That's a jury. We want available to us.
35:20
Absolutely. We can.
35:22
Achieve the power of the mind. But we got to do something about
35:26
the programming in order for that to happen.
35:28
I I, I love that. And of course you'd notice that
35:31
I've been smiling, right? You, you, you mentioned
35:34
something about entrepreneurs settling for scrap.
35:38
But when people ask me about what's the plan, what's the
35:41
plan? You know, you, I hope you have a
35:43
plan BI hope you have a plan C, right?
35:47
Ask you a quick question. How many alphabets does the
35:51
English language have? 26. 26 right?
35:54
And guess what, Doctor Joey, I have a plan A, but I have plan
36:00
BCDEFTH up to plan XYZ, right, And guess what?
36:08
Guess what, Plan B to plan C is actually to make plan A work.
36:15
So I guess so if that's the case, at least this, at least
36:19
this you should learn that, you know, never settle for less.
36:23
If that's the. Case.
36:24
You actually have a Plan A is what you have, because if plan
36:27
B&C are to meet plan A, then you have a plan A.
36:31
Absolutely. The other thing, the last thing
36:33
I want to add in here is so many entrepreneurs have an idea and
36:38
they'll sit down and they'll get a pad of paper and they'll get a
36:41
pen. And they'll spend hours and
36:44
hours and hours writing out a strategy for how they're going
36:47
to get there and everything they're going to do and the
36:49
exhaustive To Do List and all of that stuff.
36:52
And they write it down. How many things have you ever
36:54
achieved that went exactly as your plan was?
36:59
Nothing. So many hours doing that.
37:04
So with my clients, when I get that to throttle back a little
37:08
bit, when we develop that vision, what happens when we're
37:12
going 150 miles an hour is there's opportunities, insights,
37:15
directions, whatever it is just flying by us and we're not even
37:18
noticing. The only way we notice them is
37:20
we have to start backing up a little bit, going slower,
37:23
throttling down and be more and be more conscious of how we're
37:28
living, get out of that unconscious living.
37:31
And as we do, all of a sudden something comes out of the blue
37:33
and we overhear something or we put on the radio and, and, and
37:37
we're hearing somebody talk or a podcast and and we're hearing it
37:40
speak exactly into what we're trying to figure out.
37:43
And that can happen. So often people call that a
37:45
coincidence To me, I believe that I know that that's God work
37:49
in my life, but people will call it a coincidence.
37:51
But we really there's a design that you can live by those
37:56
things continually flowing and happening, but you can't do that
38:01
and be be chucking along at 150 miles an hour at the same time.
38:05
Absolutely not. So we we've got 4 minutes left
38:08
on the clock and of course I see it takes 4 minutes to save a
38:11
life. So let's save lives with a quick
38:13
fire round. I just ask you a quick question
38:16
and of course you you keep the rapid answers being the rapid
38:20
growth specialist that that you are let's.
38:23
Go. Let us go, let's go.
38:27
So #1 what's one or two accelerator habits you think
38:32
every entrepreneur should have to improve their leadership?
38:37
You know what, find things that you enjoy doing.
38:39
That would be the one. I don't know.
38:40
I can't tell you this exact habit because I don't know the
38:43
every individual and and that's why it's unique.
38:46
So find things that you enjoy doing towards your business and
38:49
do that more often. I love that.
38:51
So what's 1 belief about success?
38:53
You had to unlearn yourself. That I wasn't worthy.
38:58
OK, what's the most impactful book you've ever read?
39:01
I think it would be the God. There's so many of them.
39:05
Joseph Murphy, The Subconscious Mind.
39:07
Why is jury inclined towards Joseph?
39:10
Is it a jury party? It opened up a gateway in my
39:15
life when I start understanding the subconscious mind, how
39:18
powerful it is. Okay, I think that would be
39:21
recommended. Many other ones.
39:23
I hope the book is on Amazon. I'll try to add that to the the
39:26
links in the description. What?
39:28
Any of the ones you're going to be able to add to?
39:30
Well, no, because you're I have a book coming out August 4th and
39:34
it's reprogramming your subconscious mind, the SMT
39:37
method for rapid growth and that'll be coming out so but
39:41
it's not yet. So you have the pre-order link.
39:43
Let's add that to the. No, that's not waiting to put
39:45
together right now. So within the next 48 hours I'll
39:49
have it, but I don't have it tonight.
39:50
Oh, fantastic. Definitely.
39:51
We we are always in communication.
39:53
So we we can always have that and add that to the description.
39:57
OK, So what is a 15 minute ritual that shifts your energy?
40:01
What's like a practise or vitro you something you do every day
40:05
that shifts your energy. That is like an energy.
40:07
One thing I would say to people is start being more conscious.
40:11
Start paying attention to the words you're using, the thoughts
40:14
you're entertaining, what you watch on television, things like
40:17
that. Start being aware of that
40:18
because whatever those settings are is what you're feeding into
40:22
the subconscious, and that's what you're going to experience
