00:00:01.866 --> 00:00:13.766
Hello and welcome back to another episode of Electricpreneurs Secrets, the Electricians podcast, where we help you master your sales, simplify your pricing and deliver premium level electrical service.
00:00:13.766 --> 00:00:16.103
I'm your host, clay Neumeier.
00:00:16.103 --> 00:00:20.571
With me, as always, my esteemed co-host, joseph the Salesbot, lucani.
00:00:20.571 --> 00:00:23.306
Joe, how the hell are you my brother?
00:00:24.368 --> 00:00:30.283
It's a great day Like it has been a really, really, really great day, even though it's cold as hell in New York.
00:00:30.283 --> 00:00:31.588
I am a happy man.
00:00:31.588 --> 00:00:32.970
I love what I do.
00:00:32.970 --> 00:00:36.265
I love my family, love my kids, love my wife, love my partner.
00:00:36.265 --> 00:00:37.929
I'm feeling it today.
00:00:37.929 --> 00:00:39.192
It's a good day for gratitude.
00:00:39.192 --> 00:00:39.612
What?
00:00:39.633 --> 00:00:39.853
about you.
00:00:39.853 --> 00:00:41.304
Love and the grace.
00:00:41.304 --> 00:00:44.167
Love and the grace yeah, doing pretty good, man doing really good.
00:00:44.167 --> 00:00:49.265
I'm still stuck on the expression you used earlier what do you say in New York when it's really cold?
00:00:49.265 --> 00:00:49.908
Oh my.
00:00:49.948 --> 00:00:50.701
God yeah.
00:00:50.701 --> 00:00:56.646
So for everyone who's listening, I apparently went a little too slang with Clay because I said, clay, it's mad brick out.
00:00:56.646 --> 00:00:58.326
And I was like wait what?
00:00:58.326 --> 00:01:01.024
And I was like it's brick, it's really brick out.
00:01:01.024 --> 00:01:06.243
And it was like you mean, you're playing basketball, it's like no, I'm not throwing bricks, it is brick.
00:01:06.243 --> 00:01:17.862
And I realized that anyone who's lived near New York City understands what I'm saying and I forget that that language doesn't translate to other parts of the country or out of the country per se.
00:01:19.340 --> 00:01:21.007
It's Bebo language, man Shooting bricks.
00:01:21.007 --> 00:01:22.700
You don't even get to rim.
00:01:22.700 --> 00:01:24.885
It's just too much weight you can't make it.
00:01:24.885 --> 00:01:27.180
Are you from New York?
00:01:27.180 --> 00:01:29.188
If you're with us right now, are you in New York State?
00:01:29.188 --> 00:01:31.346
Do you also say this, or is it just Joe?
00:01:31.346 --> 00:01:33.082
Is it actually a thing?
00:01:33.323 --> 00:01:33.865
It's brick out.
00:01:33.865 --> 00:01:35.189
It's actually a thing.
00:01:35.189 --> 00:01:41.900
In addition, going further, saying something is mad is the same way as saying something is very so.
00:01:41.900 --> 00:01:44.882
You say it is mad brick, it is very cold.
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:50.346
It's funny that you're having to translate this to me.
00:01:50.507 --> 00:01:50.888
I know.
00:01:51.420 --> 00:01:58.992
I'm the father of a teenage daughter and I'm hoping that she's not saying mad, brick a little bit.
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:06.629
I mean, I guess it's one of those things where everyone has their own slang, but you don't often realize it's slang until you say it to someone outside of your state.
00:02:06.629 --> 00:02:08.326
You're like why are you not following me?
00:02:08.326 --> 00:02:09.724
Am I saying the wrong?
00:02:09.724 --> 00:02:11.586
Oh, I am saying this is slang.
00:02:11.586 --> 00:02:14.144
I apologize, it's cold out, sir.
00:02:14.144 --> 00:02:15.662
So there you go.
00:02:16.384 --> 00:02:17.127
That's funny man.
00:02:17.127 --> 00:02:20.825
That's funny Moving on, because I got some mad brick news here.
00:02:20.825 --> 00:02:21.949
I need to apologize.
00:02:21.949 --> 00:02:25.367
I have to apologize to our listeners and our viewers.
00:02:25.367 --> 00:02:33.067
If you're catching us on Facebook on the Electroponers Secrets Group, you are in the right crowd and thank you for engaging justins with us today.
00:02:33.067 --> 00:02:36.990
But if you prefer to listen on the podcast streams, I can't blame you.
00:02:36.990 --> 00:02:43.669
That was the whole point of having a podcast and yesterday, between me and our team, we dropped the ball and didn't upload it.
00:02:43.669 --> 00:02:46.616
Oh my gosh, oh boy, that's crazy.
00:02:46.616 --> 00:02:47.819
We went through the work of doing it.
00:02:47.819 --> 00:02:52.687
We didn't put it on the servers, so we've just done it now.
00:02:52.687 --> 00:03:00.510
Guys, you can get caught up on that from yesterday's episode If you were with us or if not, you'll be able to listen to all the great advice we had.
00:03:00.510 --> 00:03:01.965
Yesterday it was a fire session.
00:03:01.965 --> 00:03:04.887
Wait, if brick's cold, what's fire?
00:03:05.829 --> 00:03:06.651
Fire is just good.
00:03:06.651 --> 00:03:08.966
Fire translates to that is very good.
00:03:09.407 --> 00:03:18.788
Okay, so mad fire session yesterday on Electric Burner Secrets, with us talking again through this concept, this topic of who do you hire first.
00:03:18.788 --> 00:03:21.306
And Joe mentioned something really important.
00:03:21.306 --> 00:03:31.025
We're going to dive a bit deeper into it today mental equity, and that's why this episode is called Mental Equity, millionaire Electrician, and I've got some great examples.
00:03:31.025 --> 00:03:36.865
But why don't you dive in and kind of reiterate for us Sure, what the hell is mental equity and why do I care?
00:03:36.885 --> 00:03:37.848
Okay.
00:03:37.848 --> 00:03:43.051
So I'm going to try and make an abstract concept a little bit more tangible.
00:03:43.051 --> 00:03:46.368
So forgive me if I go in a bit of a circle, but I'm going to try my best to make it clear.
00:03:46.368 --> 00:04:15.033
So all of us understand what financial equity is, where you say I have a surplus of a particular asset, therefore you have equity in that asset, right, but few of us acknowledge that we also have internal equity, whether that spiritual or emotional or mental or physical, you can store up good in you and then you can leverage that for further successes.
00:04:15.033 --> 00:04:21.391
Or you can let something drain that equity and then you end up running on fumes.
00:04:21.391 --> 00:04:24.492
So let's explain a little bit further what that means.
00:04:25.425 --> 00:04:36.055
If you have a strong amount of mental equity, that means that you're less likely to be shaken by the day-to-day things because you can give what you have.
00:04:36.055 --> 00:04:43.992
But if you have no mental equity, when situations come to face you you can't give away what you do not have.
00:04:43.992 --> 00:04:53.351
So if you don't have kindness stored in you, when situations happen you will respond angrily because you're living off fumes.
00:04:53.351 --> 00:05:03.593
Or if you go to try and handle a customer situation, maybe this customer rubs you the wrong way that day If you don't have a storehouse of patience.
00:05:03.593 --> 00:05:08.233
You snap with the client and now you end up going in the wrong direction.
00:05:08.233 --> 00:05:20.973
So what we should be doing as a whole, as business owners, isn't just stockpiling money, but equaling out that money with the mental equity required to properly manage it and our lives.
00:05:22.105 --> 00:05:25.071
Right man, valid, valid, valid.
00:05:25.071 --> 00:05:31.187
And I just can't help but say man, if you're snapping at your customers, that is mad brick, oh my.
00:05:31.206 --> 00:05:32.290
God, you're going to keep using that.
00:05:33.505 --> 00:05:35.593
We're going to play with this the entire episode.
00:05:36.547 --> 00:05:38.247
Oh God, what have I done you?
00:05:38.266 --> 00:05:39.653
don't snap at your customers.
00:05:39.653 --> 00:05:43.112
It's not good, it's not conducive, and I used this analogy yesterday.
00:05:43.112 --> 00:05:46.173
I want to help everyone listening out with this, if I can.
00:05:46.173 --> 00:05:50.634
I don't see your business as flat as a five-star review does.
00:05:50.634 --> 00:05:52.968
Here's what I mean by this.
00:05:52.968 --> 00:05:57.711
I would prefer to view your business as a stock in the stock market.
00:05:57.711 --> 00:06:01.769
Okay, hear me out for a second.
00:06:01.944 --> 00:06:03.492
I must admit, you got me, got my attention.
00:06:03.584 --> 00:06:29.211
It's easy to say, okay, well, we got a four-star or a five-star review or anything in between and what that means for our business, but what it actually does is overlooks all the minor little mental equity pieces that go into each and every step, that go into that five-star review or go into why we got a one-star review, and so it doesn't properly acknowledge all the moving parts of the machine.
00:06:29.211 --> 00:06:32.672
Here's where I like about the stock analysis.
00:06:32.672 --> 00:06:39.452
Instead, if I don't answer the phone, does my stock go up a penny or down a penny?
00:06:40.324 --> 00:06:44.088
It goes down, and probably more than a penny, if you're not answering the phone.
00:06:44.824 --> 00:06:45.970
Just like the time coins.
00:06:45.970 --> 00:06:48.052
Let's play with pennies for a minute, though Makes sense.
00:06:48.273 --> 00:06:48.653
I'm following.
00:06:48.845 --> 00:07:05.567
If I'm so busy and I don't have an office administrator or manager or CSR to help us with that and we're missing calls and only answering a few, would it be fair to say that every call I miss adds to the annoyance that a homeowner is facing right now Exactly?
00:07:05.567 --> 00:07:15.211
And would they then be less likely to refer to us or call us for future endeavors if we didn't connect and make that right?
00:07:16.045 --> 00:07:19.709
Yeah, and a really good example of this is have you ever gotten a call?
00:07:19.709 --> 00:07:24.971
Go to voicemail or go to an answering service and say your call is very important to us?
00:07:24.971 --> 00:07:27.872
We're experiencing higher than normal call volume.
00:07:27.872 --> 00:07:33.052
You are second in line, like you just hear it, and you're like you are not answering more calls than normal.
00:07:33.052 --> 00:07:40.149
You are not already on the phone with someone else, so you already feel bad and we're less likely to refer them out of that frustration.
00:07:40.966 --> 00:07:46.951
That is brick Joe, that is solid brick, so brick You're killing me.
00:07:47.112 --> 00:07:47.935
You are killing me.
00:07:47.935 --> 00:07:49.230
I love you, but you're bringing it.
00:07:49.485 --> 00:07:50.149
It's east to west.
00:07:50.149 --> 00:07:53.286
Now Brick's coming to Vancouver too, oh God Listen.
00:07:53.286 --> 00:08:04.310
So, following this analogy, every time we pick up the phone, every time we answer with a smile, every time we have these little minor things adding up, it's adding a penny to your stock.
00:08:04.310 --> 00:08:08.855
It's another person that had a moment of good experience.
00:08:08.855 --> 00:08:16.413
So you made them feel something other than what Joe just described, right, which was like I did this, like nails on a chalkboard to me.
00:08:16.413 --> 00:08:21.593
God, don't give me an answering machine, please, don't answer the phone and say can you hold please?
00:08:21.593 --> 00:08:25.564
Oh my God, is there anything worth Like?
00:08:25.564 --> 00:08:28.735
Does anyone understand customer service?
00:08:28.735 --> 00:08:30.711
I think that every time it happens to me.
00:08:31.564 --> 00:08:39.318
So we can either go all year with this phone call problem and be lose a penny, lose a penny, lose a penny, lose a penny.
00:08:39.318 --> 00:08:44.716
Next thing, you know your entire market's kind of fed up with trying to call you.
00:08:44.716 --> 00:08:56.729
Your entire market's fed up with the patience of waiting for your communications, or we can go the other way and keep in mind at some point there's no basement here, people just stop.
00:08:56.729 --> 00:09:00.734
There's no more calls, guys, there's no more faith, there's no more market.
00:09:00.734 --> 00:09:05.297
You literally need a brand and a management change and a miracle to bring that back to life.
00:09:06.486 --> 00:09:14.753
Or we go the other way and we put in these systems and we put in the people in our business and this three-dimensional experience to continue to rise.
00:09:14.753 --> 00:09:28.768
A penny, rise, a penny rise, a penny, five-star reviews, another penny and over time you become the most valuable home service electrician in your market as a stock.
00:09:28.768 --> 00:09:41.374
And your people, your stakeholders, which include your clients and your staff and your managers and everyone, your family and the people that support your business All of them are stakeholders to a valuable stock.
00:09:41.374 --> 00:09:43.889
Does that make sense, joe?
00:09:44.485 --> 00:09:45.206
It really does.
00:09:45.206 --> 00:09:54.774
And I love the fact that we're also highlighting how your staff and your clients, and even their connected families, share as stockholders.
00:09:54.774 --> 00:10:01.972
Because, if you think about it, let's say you have a family member who you know not everyone has the closest family but they want to refer you.
00:10:01.972 --> 00:10:07.296
They're not going to refer you if they're like oh yeah, you should go with service electrical.
00:10:07.296 --> 00:10:09.130
Oh, I don't know about those guys.
00:10:09.130 --> 00:10:10.028
I tried calling them before.
00:10:10.028 --> 00:10:10.931
I heard they just don't answer.
00:10:10.931 --> 00:10:14.032
I mean, if they hear that more than once, are they going to keep referring you?
00:10:14.032 --> 00:10:18.013
No, so it reduces their equity too.
00:10:18.013 --> 00:10:21.774
So I want to keep our net strong and our platform even better.
00:10:22.666 --> 00:10:23.249
Absolutely.
00:10:23.249 --> 00:10:26.571
And now, to adopt that language, stockholder to stakeholder.
00:10:26.571 --> 00:10:31.128
I can tell you from a brief MBA experience that I once upon a time had.
00:10:31.128 --> 00:10:40.416
The ultimate goal of every business is this simple one liner increase value to shareholders.
00:10:40.416 --> 00:10:49.514
Or in other words, in this case, let's call it stakeholders, stockholders, let's generalize that term and look at it in this way.
00:10:49.514 --> 00:11:00.913
Your prerogative, the objective of your business is to increase value to every stakeholder within that range of your immediate network.
00:11:00.913 --> 00:11:04.754
To me, that includes all those users, like you just highlighted, joe.
00:11:04.754 --> 00:11:17.557
It includes everyone who contributes to that revenue at the end of every year, and that's why we have to say goodbye, wish farewell, to all the companies that are this one and done, getting ghetto.
00:11:17.557 --> 00:11:29.538
No one answer the phones or help or follow up or do club memberships or any of this stuff, because we're just letting people down, turn after turn, and eventually the stock just falls out.
00:11:29.538 --> 00:11:31.090
How could it be anything more?
00:11:31.090 --> 00:11:35.956
How could your staff care so much about a company that didn't care so much about their clients?
00:11:37.826 --> 00:11:45.452
Adding to that, there's another thing that we need to touch on, which is you're actually more likely to retain staff when your stock is strong.
00:11:45.452 --> 00:12:03.775
Because if you have to put like I remember I'm not going to say any names because people might know them, but I worked for a company that I truly hated, because, when I was working with them, I constantly felt like I was taking advantage of our clients, and this was the same company that I charged the $3,000 light fixtures to.
00:12:03.775 --> 00:12:07.212
I remember their stock was low.
00:12:07.212 --> 00:12:13.636
I would constantly hear that people didn't like them, that they charged a lot, that they weren't really great.
00:12:13.636 --> 00:12:22.014
So, even though I was being paid very, very well, I didn't believe in them because I was constantly exposed to the negativity from our clients.
00:12:23.004 --> 00:12:38.595
So, as a result, if, on the other hand, I was constantly told how good they were and how fair they were and how honorable they were and how good their customers were feeling afterwards, I wouldn't have a negative experience, because I would have been like you know what?
00:12:38.595 --> 00:12:39.690
There's a reason for it.
00:12:39.690 --> 00:12:41.289
These guys are good people.
00:12:41.289 --> 00:12:46.815
So when your equity is up, so is the faith of your staff.
00:12:46.815 --> 00:12:51.835
When your equity is down, so is the faith of your staff.
00:12:51.835 --> 00:13:08.249
So not only does it help your mental equity grow in the fact that you can be more sustainable, but it makes your overall business sustainable, because now everyone connected to you can either rise or fall, based on the perception of your company 100% man.
00:13:08.470 --> 00:13:09.232
I couldn't agree more.
00:13:09.232 --> 00:13:10.951
That's really valuable insights.
00:13:10.951 --> 00:13:14.234
It reminds me, too, of the leadership challenge, right?
00:13:14.234 --> 00:13:16.393
And that's something we talked about in class this morning.
00:13:16.393 --> 00:13:18.211
We're that consistency.
00:13:18.211 --> 00:13:21.852
It's really difficult to be consistent when you're overwhelmed.
00:13:21.852 --> 00:13:24.368
Right, deal with that.
00:13:24.368 --> 00:13:26.191
You know, we're business owners too.
00:13:26.191 --> 00:13:34.854
We deal with this too and we have each other to kind of bounce back and forth on this, so we can not only relate but also help as we help ourselves through it too.
00:13:35.644 --> 00:14:07.575
It's a constant balance and, if I haven't said this enough on this podcast show, balance, I don't feel, is an achievement, it's an action, it's something we're working towards and so, constantly as we wear hats and prepare hats and get them right and try to build SOPs around them and hand them off and delegate, or, as these three outcomes we talked about yesterday, I'm going to do it and do it well, I'm going to delegate it and delegate it well, or I'm going to eat crow and cut it off because it doesn't need to be here.
00:14:07.575 --> 00:14:13.231
Every time we do that and take one of those actions, doesn't that affect our balance?
00:14:14.139 --> 00:14:14.701
It really would.
00:14:14.701 --> 00:14:16.543
It truly honestly does.
00:14:16.543 --> 00:14:28.086
And in addition, when people think about balance, they always think about like an internal state of flow, but they often visualize it as someone standing on one foot, going back and forth.
00:14:28.086 --> 00:14:30.609
It could be the same thing.
00:14:30.609 --> 00:14:43.572
Imagine your own internal well-being sitting on a fulcrum and if you're not in a state of balance, everything you perceive is going to be skewed based on what you're surrounded by.
00:14:43.572 --> 00:14:50.386
So if you're the business owner who feels that everything is going against you, that may honestly be the case.
00:14:50.386 --> 00:14:57.095
I'm not trying to invalidate you, but the high likelihood is that it's a misperception because you yourself are out of balance.
00:14:59.542 --> 00:15:01.764
Yes, strong point, strong point.
00:15:02.264 --> 00:15:18.988
And when we're out of balance, in other words, again when this action, when we're losing sight of aiming for that balance, constantly readjusting and the mental equities taken up, it can become very, very difficult to lead a team.
00:15:19.548 --> 00:15:28.366
Because here's what happens the chaos spreads, and that chaos spreads quickly to anyone in your wake.
00:15:29.068 --> 00:15:30.110
That's what leading is.
00:15:30.171 --> 00:15:55.100
There's people following, literally, if you look at it, like you're cutting through the air in a certain direction and making a streamline, people follow in that streamline, they follow in those footsteps, they follow in the path that you've led with, and so if that path is chaos, then you better be prepared for staff in chaos, bottom line right.
00:15:55.100 --> 00:16:12.625
So this is again why, full circle back, we're suggesting at such a discipline level that we really have to look at relieving ourselves and our mental equity of the office components of our business and being able to delegate this stuff as soon as possible.
00:16:12.625 --> 00:16:20.621
And that's why it should be the first tire, because it's not your strength, it's not where you should focus and spin your tires, it's not where you should get stuck.
00:16:20.621 --> 00:16:39.195
In fact, you should really focus on the things that you're already great at, no matter how big the pull is to be the business owner and to get out of that you have to start with your strengths and honor that and build systems around those so that you can train your strengths to others in the best possible way.
00:16:40.059 --> 00:16:41.804
Joe, what are your thoughts, brother?
00:16:41.804 --> 00:16:44.511
Boom and boom.
00:16:44.511 --> 00:16:46.366
I love that.
00:16:46.366 --> 00:16:47.441
And guess what?
00:16:47.441 --> 00:16:49.023
It's 17 minutes in.
00:16:49.023 --> 00:16:56.934
Why don't we come up with some action items and call this just a smoke and boom Thursday Cold as bricks Brick, can it be plural?
00:16:58.423 --> 00:16:58.543
No.
00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:01.345
I'm doing my best, I'm trying.
00:17:01.365 --> 00:17:02.561
I know you are, you know what this is.
00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:03.602
I'm not making fun of you.
00:17:03.602 --> 00:17:09.472
I'm actually trying to elevate to your level because of how cool you are, and that is fire.
00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:16.788
You know I feel interesting here because I've never been referred to as cool, both internally or externally.
00:17:16.788 --> 00:17:20.673
So I'll just take a moment to be like wow, that was an unusual expression.
00:17:20.673 --> 00:17:22.483
I appreciate that Because I was the first for me.
00:17:23.099 --> 00:17:23.821
You're cool man.
00:17:23.821 --> 00:17:26.651
Everyone listening thinks you're cool and watching they think you're cool.
00:17:26.651 --> 00:17:28.788
You're getting hearts and likes and blue hearts.
00:17:28.788 --> 00:17:35.111
Right now, dorian Ben Justin's with us, a few other people who are going unannounced just watching or just listening.
00:17:35.111 --> 00:17:38.470
But hey, why don't we throw some actions together?
00:17:38.470 --> 00:17:41.989
They get those people on fire and moving forward on this.
00:17:44.463 --> 00:17:44.924
I like that.
00:17:44.924 --> 00:17:47.150
I'm feeling really good now because I actually touched my heart.
00:17:47.150 --> 00:17:47.991
I appreciate that, brother.
00:17:47.991 --> 00:17:54.857
Alright let's get some action items, so I like this particular topic.
00:17:54.857 --> 00:18:00.619
So, as far as mental equity goes, I can talk about specific examples that help with personal balance.
00:18:00.619 --> 00:18:03.108
Is it okay if I just start touching them, if that's all right?
00:18:03.641 --> 00:18:04.663
Yeah, I gotta.
00:18:04.663 --> 00:18:09.773
I have to interrupt for a second because there's been an emergency announcement in the chat.
00:18:09.773 --> 00:18:11.265
Whoa, okay, what's up?
00:18:11.265 --> 00:18:17.450
Yeah, dorian said bro, you're a real-life Jedi, and I think WIM stands for what do you mean?
00:18:17.450 --> 00:18:21.632
But again, the acronyms, the teenage dad syndrome?
00:18:21.632 --> 00:18:22.375
I need to know.
00:18:22.375 --> 00:18:25.164
I google this stuff and Ben Ben followed up with it.
00:18:25.164 --> 00:18:27.866
Definitely, so Hats off to you.
00:18:27.866 --> 00:18:29.093
You're a real Jedi.
00:18:29.856 --> 00:18:36.801
I appreciate that I was gonna say I mean, granted, I am covered in Sith tattoos, but I'll take being a Jedi for now, so that's cool, I appreciate that.
00:18:36.801 --> 00:18:42.813
So, as far as the action assignments, mental equity can be practiced in two different ways.
00:18:42.813 --> 00:18:49.779
Right, one is internal and the other is where you can apply it on a physical realm.
00:18:49.779 --> 00:18:55.173
So the first thing is you need to be able to be in a place of calm and quiet.
00:18:55.173 --> 00:19:01.460
The reason why I say this is because I have you ever felt like there's too many thoughts going on in your head.
00:19:01.460 --> 00:19:09.823
I mean, grant your business owner, your father, you get it where there's so many thoughts that you can't even figure out which one to pull right.
00:19:11.020 --> 00:19:25.849
So I've learned that by sitting in silence, in conscious and intentional silence, and Not trying to answer any of the thoughts, just being with them, is the healthiest possible thing you can do during overwhelm.
00:19:25.849 --> 00:19:35.011
The reason being is that if you can't become comfortable in silence, you will, by definition, try to find more noise.
00:19:35.011 --> 00:19:41.512
It's like the kind of person needs to sleep with the TV on right because you're uncomfortable with silence.
00:19:41.512 --> 00:19:44.740
You start to appreciate all the background noise.
00:19:44.740 --> 00:19:59.211
If you instead shift your focus to appreciating silence, you'll recognize all that constant feedback as something that needs to go, and if you're less plagued with constant thoughts, you can operate singularly with a singular focus.
00:19:59.211 --> 00:20:01.903
Does that make sense so far?
00:20:02.403 --> 00:20:03.204
It does, yep.
00:20:03.826 --> 00:20:07.673
Okay now, as far as the all-star action, how do you take this?
00:20:07.673 --> 00:20:17.251
Well, you can actually apply mental equity to certain actual lists and you can say where am I strong and where am I not, so you can actually figure out how to take it.
00:20:17.251 --> 00:20:33.284
So it would be physical, emotional, spiritual and mental Right, we have those particular categories and you can say, if I were to judge this aspect of my life From zero to five, where do I end up?
00:20:33.284 --> 00:20:38.585
And most times very fairly is everyone always a five or is everyone always a one?
00:20:38.585 --> 00:20:40.613
There's always these variables in between.
00:20:41.665 --> 00:20:51.198
But if you can recognize as each individually being separate, what you'll do is you'll say okay, I'm doing really good spiritually, I'm doing really good mentally.
00:20:51.198 --> 00:20:55.236
Oh, I haven't worked out in about four months.
00:20:55.236 --> 00:21:04.070
Okay, well, that might explain why my blood sugar is high, that might explain why I'm irritable, that might explain why I'm not getting as much sleep.
00:21:04.070 --> 00:21:09.834
And you can realize that if I fix that, everything else should proportionally raise as well.
00:21:09.834 --> 00:21:10.905
Mm-hmm.
00:21:10.905 --> 00:21:14.496
So until you know where you're lacking, you won't know where to strengthen.
00:00:01.866 --> 00:00:13.766
00:00:13.766 --> 00:00:16.103
00:00:16.103 --> 00:00:20.571
00:00:20.571 --> 00:00:23.306
00:00:24.368 --> 00:00:30.283
00:00:30.283 --> 00:00:31.588
00:00:31.588 --> 00:00:32.970
00:00:32.970 --> 00:00:36.265
00:00:36.265 --> 00:00:37.929
00:00:37.929 --> 00:00:39.192
00:00:39.192 --> 00:00:39.612
00:00:39.633 --> 00:00:39.853
00:00:39.853 --> 00:00:41.304
00:00:41.304 --> 00:00:44.167
00:00:44.167 --> 00:00:49.265
00:00:49.265 --> 00:00:49.908
00:00:49.948 --> 00:00:50.701
00:00:50.701 --> 00:00:56.646
00:00:56.646 --> 00:00:58.326
00:00:58.326 --> 00:01:01.024
00:01:01.024 --> 00:01:06.243
00:01:06.243 --> 00:01:17.862
00:01:19.340 --> 00:01:21.007
00:01:21.007 --> 00:01:22.700
00:01:22.700 --> 00:01:24.885
00:01:24.885 --> 00:01:27.180
00:01:27.180 --> 00:01:29.188
00:01:29.188 --> 00:01:31.346
00:01:31.346 --> 00:01:33.082
00:01:33.323 --> 00:01:33.865
00:01:33.865 --> 00:01:35.189
00:01:35.189 --> 00:01:41.900
00:01:41.900 --> 00:01:44.882
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:50.346
00:01:50.507 --> 00:01:50.888
00:01:51.420 --> 00:01:58.992
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:06.629
00:02:06.629 --> 00:02:08.326
00:02:08.326 --> 00:02:09.724
00:02:09.724 --> 00:02:11.586
00:02:11.586 --> 00:02:14.144
00:02:14.144 --> 00:02:15.662
00:02:16.384 --> 00:02:17.127
00:02:17.127 --> 00:02:20.825
00:02:20.825 --> 00:02:21.949
00:02:21.949 --> 00:02:25.367
00:02:25.367 --> 00:02:33.067
00:02:33.067 --> 00:02:36.990
00:02:36.990 --> 00:02:43.669
00:02:43.669 --> 00:02:46.616
00:02:46.616 --> 00:02:47.819
00:02:47.819 --> 00:02:52.687
00:02:52.687 --> 00:03:00.510
00:03:00.510 --> 00:03:01.965
00:03:01.965 --> 00:03:04.887
00:03:05.829 --> 00:03:06.651
00:03:06.651 --> 00:03:08.966
00:03:09.407 --> 00:03:18.788
00:03:18.788 --> 00:03:21.306
00:03:21.306 --> 00:03:31.025
00:03:31.025 --> 00:03:36.865
00:03:36.885 --> 00:03:37.848
00:03:37.848 --> 00:03:43.051
00:03:43.051 --> 00:03:46.368
00:03:46.368 --> 00:04:15.033
00:04:15.033 --> 00:04:21.391
00:04:21.391 --> 00:04:24.492
00:04:25.425 --> 00:04:36.055
00:04:36.055 --> 00:04:43.992
00:04:43.992 --> 00:04:53.351
