The Why Not Today? Podcast - Season 2 - Episode 15 with Dr. Willie Jolley, Willie Jolley Productions. Inc. · Why Not Today? with Leslie Kane

• 0:00
  All right. Hello. My name is Leslie Cain. I'm the host of the Why Not Today podcast.
• 0:06
  This is a podcast to celebrate people who have been courageous and said, why not today?
• 0:10
  I started this podcast in honor of my father, Patrick Cain, who often did say, why not today?
• 0:15
  I'm based in Reston, Virginia, a planned community right outside of Washington, D.C. And I'm
• 0:20
  excited about my guests today. And thank you everybody for listening and joining and watching.
• 0:24
  My guest today is Willie Jolly. And I met Willie Jolly. I always talk about connections and how
• 0:30
  I met people. And years ago, one of my team members, I don't know, well, I guess she was a Mary Kay,
• 0:36
  worked for the Reston Chamber. And they were looking for a speaker and reached out to Willie.
• 0:41
  And he graciously came and spoke. And I heard him speak. And then you did several Mary Kay events
• 0:47
  and just kind of connected with you. I remember we went to a Zig Ziglar event years ago, right after
• 0:53
  September 11. And just have watched you, admired you, been inspired by you. And the other day,
• 1:00
  I'm just like, I'm going to have Willie Jolly on the podcast. So I'm super excited to have you.
• 1:04
  So for those people that don't know who you are, share a little bit about yourself and a fun
• 1:10
  fact, and then we'll get into the courage stuff. Well, I thank you for having me. And for those who
• 1:14
  know me, know I always start the same way. I have only just a minute, only 60 seconds in it.
• 1:21
  It's forced upon me, I can't refuse it. I did not seek it. I did not choose it. But it's up to me
• 1:26
  to use it. I must suffer if I lose it, give account. If I abuse it just a tiny little minute,
• 1:32
  but I will turn it to you to wrap it up. And it's I'm grateful for this minute, this moment,
• 1:36
  this opportunity to be on with you, Leslie, and to share some ideas with your listeners.
• 1:43
  Buddy, I used to be able to recite that with you, but I guess you're facing a while.
• 1:47
  I'll do that again. So that's taken from my book, It Only Takes a Minute to Change Your Life. It's
• 1:52
  called God's Minute written by Dr. Benjamin Mays, who was Martin Luther King Jr.'s mentor.
• 1:57
  And so I'm very grateful that I have become known for that one minute. I am a speaker who started
• 2:04
  as a singer. I was a nightclub singer who was doing really well in the nightclub business and the
• 2:10
  jingle business. And then I had a setback during the karaoke craze of the 1980s. I got caught up
• 2:19
  in a club I'd been performing at. They told me, we love you and your guys and your band, and we all
• 2:24
  won all the awards, but we still want to get something cheaper. That's what gives us a better
• 2:28
  return on investment. So we we're going to go with the karaoke concept. And I was devastated
• 2:34
  because I worked so hard to build their business, to build their clientele, but I still got fired,
• 2:38
  replaced, downsized, re-engineered, whatever you want to call it. It's still really the same thing.
• 2:43
  Fired. And so I didn't know what I was going to do. I took a job with the Washington DC
• 2:49
  public school system as a drug prevention coordinator talking to little kids about staying
• 2:53
  away from drugs. And it was during that year, I discovered an ability I did not know I had to
• 2:59
  use words to communicate. So the little kids, the teachers would say, can you kind of my teachers group?
• 3:04
  And someone there would say, can you kind of my church? And someone there would say, can you
• 3:07
  kind of my company? And they started growing. And Les Brown, who you just mentioned, heard me
• 3:13
  speak and sing and invited me to be on a tour he was creating called the Music and Motivation Dream
• 3:19
  Team, which featured Les Brown, Billy Preston, and S-Nite. And I was the opening act. They
• 3:26
  allowed me to meet some media people. I got a little radio show that got popular,
• 3:31
  got syndicated. You can now hear me across America every morning on Get Up Mornings with Erica Campbell
• 3:36
  and Praise Network. That led to SiriusXM, where I now have the number one self-help
• 3:41
  down in the country on SiriusXM, channel 141. And that led to a book publisher hearing me on the
• 3:47
  radio and saying, I like your ideas. I like you to consider writing a book. And I wrote a book
• 3:53
  called It Only Takes a Minute, Change Life, Came a National Best Seller. Then a setback as a setup
• 3:58
  for comeback became a global best seller, then turned setbacks into greenbacks and matted to
• 4:03
  the backslut. And the newest book is Make Love, Make Money, Make It Last, a book I wrote with my wife
• 4:09
  of almost 40 years. And we talk about 10 steps to create a great marriage. We haven't had an
• 4:14
  argument in over 35 years. And people wonder how. We give them the tips on how we have had this
• 4:21
  great marriage and how it was started off rocky, but we learned some valuable lessons from some
• 4:26
  wise mentors that we embraced and they worked and we put them in the book. And then in 1999,
• 4:32
  I was named one of the outstanding five speakers in the world by Toastmasters. Next year, I was
• 4:37
  named the motivational inspirational speaker of the year by Toastmasters International.
• 4:41
  Then in 2005, inducted in the Speaker Hall of Fame, 2013, named one of the outstanding five
• 4:47
  leadership speakers in the world. Then in 2016, and named the legend of the speaking industry.
• 4:53
  And this year, earlier this year, I was given the Joseph R. Biden Lifetime Achievement Award,
• 4:59
  the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award. And earlier this summer, I was honored to be the
• 5:05
  recipient of the Kavett Award, which is the Oscar of the speaking industry, the highest award in
• 5:11
  the speaking industry. And so I'm very grateful that I get to do what I do and go around the world
• 5:17
  and share with companies and organizations how to win more. I want people to win more in their
• 5:23
  personal life and professional life and their finances and their families. I want them to win
• 5:27
  more. And that's what I help people to do to win more when they are tired of losing, tired of maybe
• 5:33
  not reaching, achieving the goals that they've set. I want them to win more. So that's what we do.
• 5:39
  You've got amazing accolades.
• 5:43
  Yeah, well, tell us a fun fact. And kind of that was your acolyte, your history.
• 5:47
  Tell us who Willie Jolly is. You mentioned Zigg Ziggler. And us meeting and going to his
• 5:55
  Zigg Ziggler event, it was at the it was the Get Motivated tour. And it was at the Verizon Center
• 6:02
  in Washington. There was another name at that point, but there was the Verizon Center.
• 6:07
  And we sat in there, we took notes. Well, here's a fun fact that that was prior to
• 6:15
  2010, I believe, in 2012, Zigg died. And in 2013, and I was honored to get the call from the Get
• 6:24
  Motivated tour replaced the Ziggler. So, before then, I was sitting there taking notes from Zigg Ziggler.
• 6:30
  And a few years later, I'm standing in his spot. That's pretty cool. That's a fun fact.
• 6:37
  Did the COVID, COVID disrupted everything. And I went virtual and I've been doing a lot of work
• 6:44
  virtually as well as now starting to get back on the road speaking. Yeah, we're going to talk about
• 6:49
  that in a minute. So, and I love the full circle. Zigg Ziggler. And cool fact too is, you know,
• 6:56
  my career for the last 29 years is a sales director with Mary Kay and Zigg Ziggler, Mary Kay,
• 7:01
  we're very good friends. Absolutely. Kind of good friends. They're both out of Dallas. That's
• 7:06
  right. Yep. Exactly. So, share with us. What does courage mean to you? Courage to me is a great word
• 7:13
  that I use often. Courage is first, be willing to go full without worrying about fear. Not the
• 7:24
  absence of fear, because you're going to have fear. But courage is going full in spite of the fear.
• 7:31
  Being willing to face the fear is still move forward. That's courage. And it takes courage
• 7:36
  to be kind. Maya Angelou said, courage to be kind, courage to be loving, courage to be fair,
• 7:44
  to be courage to be just. It takes courage to do right. And so, I think courage is the
• 7:54
  ability to do what is right, to move forward on your goals and dreams in spite of your fears
• 8:03
  and your anxieties and your questions and doubts. Totally agree. Yeah. So, you've done lots of things
• 8:12
  in your life. And I love all your stories and all your history going from like a nightclub singer to
• 8:20
  being on stage, replacing Zigg Ziggler. So, talk about some of the things that you've done that
• 8:25
  took courage and what you had to do to, you know, the podcast is Why Not Today? And some of those
• 8:33
  things we just have to like say, I'm going to do it right now. And I'm, you know, so share some of
• 8:39
  your Why Not Today stories of your career and history. That's a great question. One of the
• 8:46
  things to courage to do is quit my job. So, I can live my dreams. I was working for the DC
• 8:55
  Public School System. As I said, when I got fired from my job at the nightclub, I took a job at the
• 9:00
  school system. That's where I started speaking. And at that point, I didn't know there was such
• 9:10
  thing as a professional speaking business for a long time. And I made a decision one day,
• 9:22
  but this is not where I'm supposed to be. I need to, I really need to live my dream. And I
• 9:28
  set my goals and wrote some dreams down. But still to be willing to quit that job because
• 9:35
  all the income sales I had at that point, with the wife and two children at home,
• 9:41
  it was frightening. It was scary. But I did it. I quit my job and I went forward. And
• 9:52
  I never looked back. So, is there something that happened in that job that you're like,
• 9:58
  all right, today is or? Actually, it was. And I think back to that day. So,
• 10:10
  I had a boss when I got hired by the job, who was just a great guy. Great guy. He was very
• 10:18
  supportive, very encouraging. And he kept saying, I'm going to give you a raise and help you get
• 10:28
  more money. I know you got a family. One day, I went away on a Wednesday to a men's conference at my
• 10:37
  church. And I left on Tuesday evening. I was gone Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Monday. And I
• 10:46
  came back Tuesday to find out that my boss had been killed in a motorcycle accident. Wow. And was
• 10:53
  already buried. It was over. So, what? Wow. So, the new boss who came was a woman who was the
• 11:03
  complete opposite of this guy. She was not supportive. She was not encouraging. And when I
• 11:11
  told her that he had said he was going to position me for a raise, he said, I didn't say that.
• 11:18
  Well, I couldn't care what he said. And so, every March, May, every year, my wife and I,
• 11:29
  years ago, had bought a time share in St. Martin. And we would take a week to go on vacation.
• 11:38
  And so, this time comes up, it's time for me to prepare for the vacation. I went in and said,
• 11:47
  I need to take some leave, but I'm going on my vacation. And she said, no, you're not.
• 11:54
  Because you don't have, in your position, your position doesn't come with annual leave.
• 11:59
  You got sick leave, but you don't have annual leave. You're not going anywhere.
• 12:04
  And so, I was like, she shut it down. And so, we had a lady who was taking, who was like a nanny
• 12:14
  for our kids. And she was my wife's best friend. She needed a place to live while she had gone
• 12:21
  through a divorce. So, she helped us. We helped her. So, we didn't have much money. She needed a
• 12:25
  place, I don't know. So, I had to have her every day call, every morning, say, Willie's too sick
• 12:32
  to get through the cold. So, that week. And so, when I got back, here's what happened.
• 12:44
  When I got back, a couple of weeks into getting back, the Washington Post came out and did an
• 12:49
  article about me speaking to kids and how I was so entertaining and engaging. And kids were really,
• 12:58
  there was a lot of buzz about me. And it was the front page on the Washington Post. When this
• 13:04
  boss, who did not like me, saw it, she said, oh, so you're famous now, huh? Well, we're going to
• 13:11
  shut you down. How are you like that? You're not speaking anymore to kids. You're going to do a
• 13:15
  job. Wow. You're going to do a desk job. How are you like that? That was the day I said, nah,
• 13:22
  I'm not supposed to be here. So, sometimes your courage is amped up by an experience,
• 13:31
  a life changing experience that gives you the impetus to say, I'm going to do what I know I
• 13:39
  should do. And I'm telling you, it was that day I said, I'm out. I walked in and I said, I'm out.
• 13:46
  Goodbye. Good for you. And aren't you glad you did because look at the lifestyle you've
• 13:52
  created because of that. Oh my God. Oh my God. I'm so grateful. Yeah. I mean, I had a similar
• 13:58
  thing leaving my job. I mean, I found Mary Kay and I thought, okay, this is better and
• 14:02
  much more positive environment, but I had not replaced an income. And it was one of those,
• 14:08
  like, you know what, the games that were played in the corporate arena were awful. And it was
• 14:15
  dispute about a commission check. They were changing their rules every time. And I worked
• 14:20
  with a coach and kind of resolved that. And as soon as I did, I just slid my resignation in front
• 14:25
  of my boss and like, done, I cannot work for you. And the same, and that would be gone for 25 years
• 14:31
  and the same stuff is going on. So I really use this platform and this podcast to encourage people
• 14:39
  to do those things, to stand up for themselves. And because you just never know what's on the other
• 14:43
  side when you say yes to yourself. Absolutely. Absolutely. Yeah. So any other courageous things
• 14:51
  that I mean, I know you've had plenty years. I've had courageous things. I didn't know what
• 14:56
  courageous at that point. Right. They turned out to be courageous. Talking about wife and to marrying
• 15:02
  me was courageous. She's amazing. I love your wife. Tell her I said hello. She is amazing.
• 15:10
  And talking to her into to marry me on a lunch date and going off and eloping right there where
• 15:17
  she wasn't even planning to marry. In fact, she told me no or no. Oh, wow. That was courageous.
• 15:25
  Being willing to to change from the youth market to the corporate market, because I was very popular
• 15:35
  in the youth market and I could have stayed there forever, but I wanted bigger. I wanted more. So
• 15:41
  that was courageous. Being willing to start my own publishing company, being willing to start our own
• 15:50
  media business. All of those took some level of courage and you wonder what happens if it doesn't
• 15:57
  work. Well, I want to give you four questions you must ask yourself to help you with your courage
• 16:04
  when you have to take a risk. Number one, what's the best that could happen if you do this?
• 16:14
  Number two, what's the worst that could happen if you do this?
• 16:19
  Number three, what's the most likely thing to happen if you do this? Number four,
• 16:27
  are you willing to live with the worst to get to the best? What's the best that could happen if I
• 16:34
  quit my job? I can live my dreams. What's the worst that could happen if I quit my job? I can
• 16:40
  lose my house. What's the most likely thing to happen if I work hard enough? I could somehow
• 16:47
  keep my head above one. Are you willing to live with the worst? Lose your house. Get to the best.
• 16:55
  Live your dreams. And mom's death was not one of the options, I can get another house.
• 17:06
  And so the answer was, yeah, I'm willing to take that chance. I'm willing to be courageous on it
• 17:12
  because I've calculated the risk. So sometimes you ask yourself those four questions,
• 17:18
  it will help you calculate the risk. So true. And the same thing I kind of did with when I
• 17:25
  quit my job was like the worst thing that happened is I'm eating, going to my mom's
• 17:30
  to eat dinner, I'm not eating Starbucks and I'll get another job. And six months after I did put
• 17:36
  my job, my dad had a major stroke, you know, I was able to be there and I'm so grateful and so many
• 17:41
  things in life I've been able to do because I made that courageous decision. And I always thought,
• 17:47
  you know, if it doesn't work out, I'll get another job or I was going to bartend at night,
• 17:50
  but 25 years later, I have not done yet. Wow, that's good. That's good. Yep. So I've listened to you
• 17:58
  speak and you've taught me so many things and motivated and inspired me. So always ask in the
• 18:02
  podcast, you know, what would you say to encourage somebody else? And I love the questions you just
• 18:07
  ask, but other things. And I love your, it just takes a minute book, your setup is a set of
• 18:14
  a clip coming up. And I see that book behind you. I have it on my shelf. Yes. So share some of your
• 18:22
  Willy Jolly wisdom. And I love you do your minute one minute thing on the radio and every once
• 18:26
  while I hear you, I'm like, I know him and I'll text you. I'm like, just heard you. So I encourage,
• 18:32
  first of all, everybody to go to winwithwilly.com, win with Willy, W-I-L-L-L-I-E.com. On there are a
• 18:41
  suite of sites. I got my motivational site for business, motivation site for personal. I got a
• 18:46
  faith based site, motivation for young people, our marriage site, our music site, our speaking,
• 18:53
  if you want to become a speaker site, we got a bunch of sites on that one place where you can
• 18:57
  kind of have access to all my world, the world of Willy, right? They winwithwilly.com. The second
• 19:04
  thing I would encourage everybody to do when you go to winwithwilly.com. Sign up for my newsletters.
• 19:10
  Every day, Monday through Friday, I send out a one minute video. So if you can hear it on the
• 19:13
  radio, great. But if you don't, it'll be in your email box and you can listen to or see a video
• 19:21
  of the same message that's on the radio every day, Monday through Friday. Okay, next thing I would
• 19:26
  encourage people to do is I would encourage people to, if you can get a copy of my book,
• 19:34
  a setback, and a set up for comeback, do so. Because I believe that book, as I told you,
• 19:40
  grouped this today. It didn't come from me, it came from me. And I believe that book really had
• 19:47
  an anointing on it because so many people had news that turned their setbacks into these great
• 19:54
  comeback stories, like the stories I've shared in the book and outside the people who turned their
• 19:59
  setbacks into great, amazing comeback. What I want to say to everybody is this, that life is a fight
• 20:09
  for terracot. It's a fight for terracot. And when you stop fighting for what you want,
• 20:16
  what you don't want automatically takes over. It creeps up on you. So what is it you want? You're
• 20:21
  gonna have to fight for what you want. You're gonna have to fight for your health. I encourage
• 20:25
  everybody to work hard. Number one goal, you can have goals. And I hope everybody has goals. And if
• 20:32
  you don't have goals, go to winwithwilly.com. There's a goal setting class. Because we encourage
• 20:37
  people to set goals. But that's what turned my life around from a both-plus and nightclub
• 20:41
  signature to becoming a world-class and your own new-round speaker. But when you write your goals,
• 20:50
  you gotta make a decision that this goal is important. And so if you're gonna live your dream
• 20:58
  and make you, you gotta set big, bold goals. And then you gotta be willing to fight for those goals.
• 21:04
  Life is a fight for territory. So write your goals. Then after you write your goals, I give you four
• 21:12
  steps. First, you work on your vision. Your goal. What is it you want to do? What did you want to
• 21:18
  achieve? What did you want to accomplish? What is it that you want? You ask most people what they
• 21:22
  want. They'll tell you what they don't want, but they can't tell you what they do or what do you
• 21:25
  want. That number one. Number two, what are you presently doing to get what you want? Okay,
• 21:34
  so you want to get, make more money. Okay, what are you doing to get what you want? And make a note
• 21:42
  of that. You want to lose weight. Okay, well, what are you doing? I'm exercising two days a week.
• 21:49
  Okay. Number three, after you've just, you've determined what you want and what are you doing
• 21:56
  to get what you want. Number three is what more courage you be doing to get what you want. What
• 22:03
  you say you want. I want to lose weight. I'm working out today. Maybe I can work out for
• 22:09
  a year. Maybe I could change my diet. So what do you want? What are you presently doing to get
• 22:16
  what you want to answer that before you answer number three? What more could you be doing to
• 22:20
  get what you want? And here's the outs question. What must you stop doing in order to get what
• 22:28
  you want? So you say you want to lose weight. You were presently working out two days a week.
• 22:34
  Could you work out more? Yes. So you didn't modify your diet yet. What else, what must you stop doing?
• 22:39
  I got to stop eating ice cream every night before I go to bed. So I said, these are questions I've
• 22:47
  had to have my, I've had to deal with myself, but I want to lose weight. And so what, what
• 22:52
  would I do? I was working out. But what more could I have been doing? I could have been modifying my
• 22:58
  diet. What more could I have done? I could have eaten more vegetables and fruits and vegetables,
• 23:04
  nuts, grains, fruits and vegetables. What must I stop doing? I loved, I loved pretzels and cranberry
• 23:13
  every night before I got those, those, those, those, those, those nibblets. I love those nibblets with cranberries. But I had to stop. I had to stop
• 23:24
  riding them. I had to stop eating them because that, that dough was just making me gain weight.
• 23:31
  And much of my life, well, I had to say no, I can't do that. I had to stop eating desserts. There are all these fancy places I go to speak. You always have a dessert.
• 23:39
  When you're sitting up on the, on the rostrum and, and there's all the dignitary they bring you your meal, then they bring you dessert. I have to say no dessert. I only eat desserts on Sunday. That's my only dessert thing.
• 23:53
  And that's, that's it. I had to, I had to say no to things. So I think those important things that will help you to achieve your goals and dreams, help you have greater success.
• 24:07
  Yeah, I love that. And wrote those questions down. I'm going to have to revaluate some things in my world. So thank you for that. So what, since the life is world has changed the last three years, what are you doing now? I know you told us how to find you, but
• 24:23
  Yeah, first of all, yeah, what are you doing different? How can we support you?
• 24:29
  A lot of new stuff. One is we're focusing on helping people win.
• 24:39
  That's our number one goal now that we pandemic help people to have greater anxiety. You know, the surgeon general recently said that there was a new crisis in America of loneliness, depression, anxiety as a result of pandemic.
• 24:55
  So we want to help you wherever you are in your life to win more personal, publicly, professionally, relationship wise, financially, family. That's number one.
• 25:06
  Number two, I started a one man show that I launched in June and did it through mid July. And then I had a bunch of speaking events. So I couldn't get to the month of August.
