WEBVTT
00:00:01.481 --> 00:00:03.625
Hello, hello, hello, welcome back.
00:00:03.625 --> 00:00:16.826
Happy Monday is another episode of Electric Printer Secrets, the Electricians podcast, episode 193, if you can believe that, joe, and today we're bringing an important message you have permission for abundance.
00:00:16.826 --> 00:00:27.980
We're going to get into that in so much more as we continue this journey of helping you, electricians, master your sales, simplify pricing and deliver premium level electrical service.
00:00:27.980 --> 00:00:33.000
Joseph, I already know, because you couldn't contain yourself, but how are you doing today, brother?
00:00:33.740 --> 00:00:43.573
Oh man, I want to take one from Ben and say fantabulous, because I feel so loved right now by one of my friends that I have to share.
00:00:43.573 --> 00:00:44.774
Is it cool if I just jump into it?
00:00:44.774 --> 00:00:46.100
Oh, yeah, okay.
00:00:46.100 --> 00:00:50.688
So I have certain conditions which cause me to be dairy-free.
00:00:50.688 --> 00:00:53.872
I have to have a diet that has absolutely no dairy whatsoever in it.
00:00:53.872 --> 00:00:59.003
Yeah, and unfortunately, though, that does make me a healthier individual.
00:00:59.003 --> 00:01:04.649
I've had to give up certain things, one of which is I am a huge Indian food connoisseur.
00:01:04.649 --> 00:01:06.990
I love it.
00:01:06.990 --> 00:01:09.132
It is my number one favorite meal.
00:01:09.132 --> 00:01:17.427
I will have Indian food anytime, any day, any place, but going dairy-free means that I had to give up my favorite dish, which is butter chicken.
00:01:17.427 --> 00:01:21.132
Obviously, it's lily, heavy cream and butter.
00:01:21.132 --> 00:01:22.254
It's in the name.
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:24.426
There's literally like dairy in that right.
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:26.382
Oh yeah, it's a smidge.
00:01:26.382 --> 00:01:30.227
It's a smidge, right, so I had to accept that.
00:01:30.227 --> 00:01:32.010
I just I can't have it.
00:01:32.010 --> 00:01:34.394
I can't have any more and it sucks, but it is what it is.
00:01:35.320 --> 00:02:03.000
Well, for my birthday, one of my closest friends, pete, decided that he was going to take a day off of work because he loves to cook and he made me like a drum of homemade dairy-free butter chicken and literally had been coordinating with my wife in the background to make sure that they had had all the ingredients the right way and was going over the way I like having it and all the different ingredients that could put in to just confirm that it could work with me.
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:12.693
And I literally came up, sterich, as Mel said, oh yeah, you have lunch ready for you and I come upstairs to just seeing an absolute drum of this and I am so happy.
00:02:12.693 --> 00:02:17.402
One because it was incredibly thoughtful, but two, just any.
00:02:17.402 --> 00:02:25.391
Every one of us wants to feel seen and appreciated and thought of, and it hit me right in the feels.
00:02:25.391 --> 00:02:29.716
It was the best meal I've had in a long time, not only because it was delicious, but because there was a lot of love behind it.
00:02:30.461 --> 00:02:31.542
It's a wicked gift man.
00:02:31.542 --> 00:02:36.330
I can't imagine a friend taking time off of work to make me butter chicken.
00:02:36.330 --> 00:02:38.954
So hell, I'll thank Pete on your behalf.
00:02:38.954 --> 00:02:41.312
Thank you, pete, he's a good dude.
00:02:41.312 --> 00:02:42.000
He really really is.
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:52.793
I'm so happy we started with butter chicken because what's coming today is kind of heavy and there's some passion behind it and there's some reasons for that, and you know what.
00:02:52.793 --> 00:02:55.836
Just suffice it to say there's reasons we're not at our best yet.
00:02:55.836 --> 00:03:14.852
Yeah, one of the craziest reasons that people are not at their best yet is they haven't given themselves permission to do that thing Like really give yourself permission, really enforce the thought that I am able to do this in ways that the surface is.
00:03:14.852 --> 00:03:17.274
What we're talking about is things like well, imposter syndrome.
00:03:17.274 --> 00:03:18.455
Ever had that?
00:03:19.581 --> 00:03:20.986
I mean, I've lived in that land for a little bit.
00:03:20.986 --> 00:03:21.949
Yeah, I am with you there.
00:03:22.701 --> 00:03:29.960
And what are some examples where you've seen electricians maybe not want to go and put their best selves out there, best foot forward or take this action yet.
00:03:30.661 --> 00:03:32.304
Okay, I'll take one on my own book, I guess.
00:03:32.304 --> 00:03:41.000
Right, it's a lot of times you hear people will say well, I want to be a premium service provider, but I'm showing up without a uniform.
00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:48.348
Or but I'm showing up without a rap fan, but I'm showing up without a robust website.
00:03:48.348 --> 00:03:51.353
Or but I don't have this tool yet.
00:03:51.353 --> 00:03:57.000
And the problem is, is that word but is actually one of the best negators of all time.
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:07.694
If you take any statement, no matter how positive, no matter how uplifted, and you say but anything, you've completely erased the beginning sentence.
00:04:07.694 --> 00:04:15.493
So what people are saying is I want to be premium, but and now all you're left with is the excuse.
00:04:15.493 --> 00:04:29.269
And that holds back so many people because if you're only acting as if, when you're already looking at it in the rearview mirror, you've passed so much opportunity sign funny.
00:04:29.269 --> 00:04:32.709
You've passed the years and years of potential opportunity.
00:04:33.781 --> 00:04:37.932
That butts a dirty word, man, but you try, I find myself doing this.
00:04:37.932 --> 00:04:40.786
I'm delayed starting the 75 e hard.
00:04:40.786 --> 00:04:41.148
Why?
00:04:41.148 --> 00:04:47.708
Because I've been having exercise excuses, ultimately Something we call avoidance behavior.
00:04:47.708 --> 00:04:55.120
And, for the record, I finally got on the train today, but it took me taking time yesterday and saying, okay, what's in my way?
00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:57.345
Why am I not able to get this started?
00:04:57.985 --> 00:05:11.733
And to be fair, guys, if you're listening to this, if you've come to know us and me, then you might also already have an understanding that, like, consistent activity is something we talk about being the hardest thing in the world, and my busy brain hates it.
00:05:11.733 --> 00:05:13.185
Hate, hate, hate.
00:05:13.185 --> 00:05:14.288
I love mixing it up.
00:05:14.288 --> 00:05:16.879
Listen to the intro and the outro and every episode.
00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:29.939
I love a little new flair, but that gets in the way of health sometimes and wellness, and so, being a hundred percent honest here, I had to Restrategize on the weekend and go okay, exercise keeps getting in the way.
00:05:29.939 --> 00:05:31.043
So what do I got to do?
00:05:31.043 --> 00:05:32.569
I got to create options for myself.
00:05:32.569 --> 00:05:38.860
So no, or any excuse, otherwise the but the tries are completely out of the way.
00:05:39.444 --> 00:05:42.180
And what's in the way is I've woken up on time.
00:05:42.180 --> 00:05:59.608
I made sure to be here at this place my clothes, my gym bag, everything's there, with three different Types of outfits for my three different types of options, whether I'm gonna take the dogs for a walk, go to the gym or actually go for a swim Full circle back this avoidance behavior.
00:05:59.608 --> 00:06:01.673
Let me explain what this means.
00:06:01.673 --> 00:06:08.754
We all look at our goal in this a to b and we think linear, I'm at a, I want to get to be.
00:06:08.754 --> 00:06:12.526
It's a little climb, but a straight shot up and across will do just fine.
00:06:12.526 --> 00:06:15.072
I'll get there and I'll be at this new height, this new place.
00:06:15.072 --> 00:06:18.189
Mmm, that's not the way things work.
00:06:18.189 --> 00:06:30.899
It's actually more of a valley of despair as you build these new foundations and build new habits, because it actually takes Bandwidth to reinforce this stuff and actually make that choice every time, mmm.
00:06:30.899 --> 00:06:41.949
And then what happens is we come to a pivotal point of excuse, blame denial or Accountability and rising to the occasion.
00:06:42.028 --> 00:06:53.612
Go ahead, joe, jump in brother didn't want to interrupt, but I can think of a very practical example of what you're describing so people can understand, because we're talking about, like reprogramming and the neurosciences behind it.
00:06:53.612 --> 00:06:59.307
There was a very practical example that I found worked for me so right, which was what you're doing.
00:06:59.307 --> 00:07:12.471
What you're describing is Recreating a neurological pathway and saying, like my brain is changing what it normally does and saying there is a Secondary path, that we are making that secondary path the more preferred path.
00:07:12.471 --> 00:07:16.845
Yeah right, but People don't know what neuroscience is.
00:07:16.845 --> 00:07:35.699
So the way that I was taught was imagine you're in the woods and you see a well beaten path, but the problem is that well beaten path Goes through hills, goes over a river, goes through a swamp, some sort of obstacle in the way, but that is the familiar path.
00:07:35.699 --> 00:07:43.252
You know there could be better paths that don't go through a swamp, but you take this path consistently because you can see yesterday's footprints in yeah.
00:07:43.781 --> 00:07:48.220
What we're doing is we're saying, well, there's a better path that we can create.
00:07:48.220 --> 00:07:55.634
If I walk around this area here now, I can bypass the swamp and it can make a better long term.
00:07:55.634 --> 00:08:00.851
The concern is is that you're talking about that mental lift.
00:08:00.851 --> 00:08:05.247
Creating the new path is a mental lift.
00:08:05.247 --> 00:08:14.293
You're chopping branches, you're moving new things, you're creating routine and it causes stress because the old path starts to have weeds grow through it.
00:08:14.293 --> 00:08:19.853
So, long term, what ends up happening is the other path still exists.
00:08:19.853 --> 00:08:40.453
With the more you walk this new path, that old path becomes overgrown and the new path becomes the default and normal, because this is now the more worn path and you can't go back to the old one, because now it takes more emotional and mental energy to do it the wrong way, and the right way is the normal, natural action.
00:08:42.043 --> 00:08:42.785
Great metaphor, man.
00:08:42.785 --> 00:08:43.326
I love it.
00:08:43.326 --> 00:08:45.192
Let me ask you have you ever heard this?
00:08:45.192 --> 00:08:48.686
The second million is easier to earn.
00:08:48.686 --> 00:08:51.532
Yes, first million is the hardest.
00:08:51.852 --> 00:08:52.052
Mm-hmm.
00:08:52.601 --> 00:08:58.850
It's the same reasons and those are things that happen to me as well and sure happened to you as well.
00:08:58.850 --> 00:09:00.614
Like I needed permission.
00:09:00.614 --> 00:09:07.807
I needed to develop these neural pathways, leverage neuroplasticity, without going too nerdy on this.
00:09:07.807 --> 00:09:09.572
I needed to create new habits.
00:09:09.572 --> 00:09:11.325
I needed to reprogram my brain.
00:09:11.706 --> 00:09:13.652
I wasn't born with a fucking silver spoon.
00:09:13.652 --> 00:09:23.850
I was either at my dad's, at a table where we didn't get to talk about money like literally, if I brought up money it was met with none of your business, none of your business.
00:09:23.850 --> 00:09:38.940
None of your business because it wasn't a proud conversation at the table or at my mom's, the only time we talked about money was when she was talking about who she could ask for more money, right like who is going to feed, who's going to pay the rent this month, who's going to put dinner on the table?
00:09:38.940 --> 00:09:46.580
I literally recall a week of being in high school eating crackers with peanut butter, because that's all we fucking had.
00:09:46.580 --> 00:09:52.859
So how do you take that person and then set them in an environment and say it's okay, you're free from this.
00:09:52.859 --> 00:09:53.946
Now you have all the opportunity.
00:09:53.946 --> 00:09:56.470
You're no longer a child, you're a grown person.
00:09:56.470 --> 00:10:03.860
You can just make the decision to go out there and be everything you want and have everything that you feel you deserve.
00:10:03.860 --> 00:10:05.879
Does that work?
00:10:07.427 --> 00:10:19.797
I mean I can almost cringe just hearing about it, because your thought is like all right, you have someone who is a preconditioning to an environment and then releasing them in the wild and wondering why they keep going back to their handler.
00:10:21.701 --> 00:10:23.501
Yeah, you get stuck.
00:10:23.501 --> 00:10:24.942
It's the path you're talking about.
00:10:24.942 --> 00:10:44.836
There's a beaten path and when we find ourselves in uncomfortable alone territory because now we have to network and be around new types of people who are building that path with us where we can kind of see, oh, they're over there, but they're not quite with us, they're kind of through the weeds a bit, so you're kind of learning where that path is.
00:10:44.836 --> 00:10:49.779
You don't even have it at your feet to continue this metaphor and if there's a lot of trust in that, you can get stuck.
00:10:49.779 --> 00:10:52.623
But trust in that, what's going to bite me?
00:10:52.623 --> 00:10:55.764
What's around the next corner, what's behind this tree, this obstacle?
00:10:55.764 --> 00:11:08.197
And so we're continually pushing forward and in reflection, I just came to this this weekend, like I said, with a friendly chat with my mentor and he's like look, you had my permission the whole fucking time.
00:11:08.197 --> 00:11:12.322
I knew you were a millionaire, I knew you could do this.
00:11:12.322 --> 00:11:21.672
I know you're destined for things bigger than what you're doing right now, but you yourself did not have the confidence to do it a year ago, two years ago.
00:11:21.672 --> 00:11:23.453
So what was in the way?
00:11:23.453 --> 00:11:25.916
It's permission and it's the pathway.
00:11:25.916 --> 00:11:30.729
The path takes a bit of work, but this is all just successes.
00:11:30.808 --> 00:11:33.883
Math where you just show the work, that's it.
00:11:33.883 --> 00:11:35.046
Anyone like algebra?
00:11:35.046 --> 00:11:37.273
No, not really.
00:11:37.273 --> 00:11:39.759
I love physics, hate algebra, love physics.
00:11:40.181 --> 00:11:53.990
But a lot of these problems, a lot of these math equations, would take half a page of demonstrating the formula, working it all out, to come to the answer that could then be proven, just like we say, hey, if you can manage it, you can measure it, you can manage it.
00:11:54.030 --> 00:12:01.927
Right, that to me is the exact same thing, and not to go too far off topic with that analogy.
00:12:01.927 --> 00:12:12.885
But ultimately we can look back and see how the different steps added up to this day, just like I know the reason we're here on this podcast.
00:12:12.885 --> 00:12:45.182
We developed a podcast and came five days a week at about this length, which sometimes we go long, but we wanted to be 15, 20, 25 minutes so that we're with you behind the windshield of the van on the way to your next course, on the way to your next call, giving you actionable advice and permission to take that advice and do something a little bit better than you did yesterday, to do something that's proven for others to already create massive abundance in their business and in their personal life, and not just the abundance of like money?
00:12:45.182 --> 00:12:52.754
What about the person you're serving and the abundance of their feeling that, oh my God, I was actually just served for once?
00:12:53.820 --> 00:12:55.201
Anyone ever getting a hug on a call.
00:12:55.201 --> 00:13:08.779
I mean like, literally, I've had situations where clients will approach you after you've sold them an option and they'll literally hug you because they're like I've always wanted this or I never thought I was going to have this, or thank you so much for helping me.
00:13:08.779 --> 00:13:10.703
I don't know what I would have done without you.
00:13:10.703 --> 00:13:29.163
And those are the moments that really define and shape your path, because if you're walking a path that seems unfamiliar, you're in the woods, you're cutting down bush, you're getting it as you go, and then someone behind you was wow, joe Clay, thank you so much for all that help, thank you for clearing this path.
00:13:29.163 --> 00:13:31.607
And you see, behind you there's more people following.
00:13:31.607 --> 00:13:34.714
Now you've got more motivation to keep pushing.
00:13:35.681 --> 00:13:39.827
That's the amazing part, right, and someone's with us.
00:13:39.827 --> 00:13:46.779
I can't quite see it yet, but they've had cries and hugs and I don't blame you, zach, absolutely, brother, thanks for joining us.
00:13:46.779 --> 00:13:56.475
And we've had that a couple with a couple of the clients in our program where they're literally weeping at the table over premium service and just having someone that actually cares.
00:13:56.475 --> 00:14:00.423
Is that even that strange, if you think about it?
00:14:00.423 --> 00:14:08.674
Think about the anxiety that goes into phoning someone you don't know to come into your house and try to help you with a situation that you don't quite understand.
00:14:08.674 --> 00:14:11.825
That's kind of a nerving, isn't it?
00:14:11.825 --> 00:14:14.171
Doesn't that make you emotional?
00:14:14.230 --> 00:14:31.176
at times I can I mean and speaking as someone who does not like change or surprise change imagine something going wrong in the home and now I need to cancel my day and rearrange my plans and meet with the stranger and fix something and impromptu bills.
00:14:31.176 --> 00:14:38.011
I just want to know that I'm going to be served, I'm not going to be taken advantage over and this person has my best interest in minds.
00:14:38.011 --> 00:14:51.274
If they did and I felt those feelings, I likely would shed a tear, because I would already have been so overwhelmed that knowing someone else is going to have my back is enough to be like.
00:14:51.274 --> 00:14:53.135
You know what this is worth.
00:14:53.135 --> 00:14:54.381
The money, this is worth it.
00:14:55.980 --> 00:14:57.062
Yeah, really good man.
00:14:57.062 --> 00:15:01.152
I want to bring in another concept, if I can, by all means.
00:15:01.152 --> 00:15:05.087
I think it's important and we got to fit it into this episode specifically.
00:15:05.629 --> 00:15:05.909
Okay.
00:15:07.341 --> 00:15:13.511
At every one of these sort of forks in the road that represents an action place.
00:15:13.511 --> 00:15:14.453
Would you agree with that?
00:15:15.100 --> 00:15:17.890
I can see that the action you take either leads you left or right.
00:15:17.971 --> 00:15:25.125
Yeah, or sometimes we take no action and kind of revert back to an old path.
00:15:25.125 --> 00:15:26.548
Let's say Okay.
00:15:26.548 --> 00:15:43.926
So let's suppose there's actually just three possibilities at every place, at every fork in the road, every decision to take action no action, weak action or strong action.
00:15:43.926 --> 00:15:52.173
Okay, the difference between the three is, I mean, obviously no action is likely.
00:15:52.173 --> 00:15:55.923
It's either no action or a reaction back to the old ways.
00:15:55.923 --> 00:16:02.586
Yep, A weak action might even be towards the old ways or going in kind of bashful.
00:16:02.586 --> 00:16:06.260
I'm not sure about this, I'm not quite confident.
00:16:06.260 --> 00:16:08.799
I'm just going to feel it out and see what happens.
00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:10.943
Would you agree with that?
00:16:11.625 --> 00:16:12.326
I could see that yeah.
00:16:13.315 --> 00:16:14.138
Strong action is.
00:16:14.138 --> 00:16:15.744
This is where I am.
00:16:15.744 --> 00:16:17.562
I'm putting my full efforts ahead.
00:16:17.562 --> 00:16:19.261
I have permission to do this.
00:16:19.261 --> 00:16:26.782
I need to just represent myself wholly in my intention, fully, and so I'm committed to this and I'm taking action right now.
00:16:26.782 --> 00:16:42.264
Now that you know that and this is just short, this is the challenge Now that you know that and that's programmed into your mind at every fork in the road, I'm either taking no action, weak action, or strong action.
00:16:42.264 --> 00:16:44.820
You're not going to be able to let that go.
00:16:44.820 --> 00:16:57.548
The next time you make a decision, the next time you go to get out of a van and serve a client, the next time you go into a potential role play or listening to material situation, you have that choice to make.
00:16:57.548 --> 00:16:59.980
It's not just what you do, it's how you do it.
00:16:59.980 --> 00:17:01.043
Joe, please jump in.
00:17:01.443 --> 00:17:02.927
Thank you, and I do mean to interrupt what you were saying.
00:17:02.927 --> 00:17:06.537
I think we both had a moment where we were in reflection and we're like all right, let's go with it.
00:17:06.537 --> 00:17:16.042
So I like, when you're dropping here, when you're saying no action, weak action, strong action, and I wanted to add my own little spin to what weak action could look like and what it serves.
00:17:16.042 --> 00:17:16.624
Is that okay?
00:17:16.624 --> 00:17:18.977
If we touch onto that, yeah, absolutely All right.
00:17:18.977 --> 00:17:21.500
So obviously you have my vote.
00:17:21.500 --> 00:17:27.944
When it comes to no action, there is no worse thing to do than to either do nothing or to revert.
00:17:27.944 --> 00:17:30.941
I agree with you 100% on that.
00:17:31.315 --> 00:17:31.797
No argument.
00:17:32.994 --> 00:17:56.178
When we go into weak action, my first thought is weak action is better than no action, because if weak action is in the direction of the goal I can imagine putting in this perspective, I would rather wake up and walk for 10 minutes than not do it because I wanted to work out for an hour.
00:17:56.178 --> 00:18:04.577
Consistent weak action would always be better than no action, even if the goal is strong action.
00:18:04.577 --> 00:18:20.578
So for someone who wants to take weak action, obviously that's not going to have the greatest impact, but if you could consistently do something anything better than what you were previously doing, I can only see that benefiting someone's life 100%.
00:18:20.880 --> 00:18:30.355
I agree with you, Fully, fully, fully, and I don't think it's necessarily something that's static, it's dynamic, meaning like it's changing over time and sometimes progressively elaborate.
00:18:30.355 --> 00:18:34.384
I mean, it has for us even the amount of organic marketing we do.
00:18:34.384 --> 00:18:39.306
Would you say that your first actions were strong actions when you were posting on Facebook?
00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:47.064
No, no, clay had to pretty much put a crowbar underneath me and like wedge me away from my dark corner and like no, you have to talk to people.
00:18:47.064 --> 00:18:50.424
Like no, I don't want to talk to anyone, it's like all right, yeah.
00:18:50.424 --> 00:18:51.558
So yeah, I agree with you completely.
00:18:52.474 --> 00:19:01.724
But it was in contextually at the time it was still a strong action because at that time you were doing everything you were capable of doing which was showing up.
00:19:01.724 --> 00:19:04.338
So I can see that as well.
00:19:04.338 --> 00:19:25.842
There's something else that ties into this and it's about the last thing we'll have time for, ultimately but it's this competitive versus creative mindset and recognizing that tying this into competition and worrying like we have a podcast so we give so much away.
00:19:25.842 --> 00:19:27.602
I mean it's called electricpreneur secrets.
00:19:27.602 --> 00:19:29.500
Again, that was the entire intent.
00:19:29.500 --> 00:19:37.009
So there's a certain train of thought that feels like, well, I would do this, but everyone else is doing this now and that's old news.
00:19:37.009 --> 00:19:45.548
I would take action on this strategy that gave away for free, but I saw 90 other people put their hand up, so it's probably played out by now.
00:19:45.548 --> 00:19:56.107
There's a deep realization that those action takers listening right now you guys need to know we've had this discussion insider group as well.
00:19:56.888 --> 00:19:58.330
Your exceptional.
00:19:58.330 --> 00:20:07.943
If you listen to an action item or put your hand up for a value piece, get it, take action on it and improve your business with it.
00:20:07.943 --> 00:20:11.748
I mean literally all of these are at use for our clients in our group.
00:20:11.748 --> 00:20:12.208
They work.
00:20:12.208 --> 00:20:15.791
We're not making it like, literally, there's proof that this stuff works.
00:20:15.791 --> 00:20:22.887
If you take action, even despite me saying there's proof, 99% will do nothing.
00:20:22.887 --> 00:20:25.460
They will do nothing.
00:20:25.460 --> 00:20:29.728
So you action takers, weak or strong, are exceptional already.
00:20:29.728 --> 00:20:51.160
There is no competition, because the real competition lies in just being able to see a positive mindset and work towards your goals, instead of being stuck on that path that's beaten in, that takes you to the same old places you've already been and keep going Again.
00:20:51.160 --> 00:20:55.888
If you're taking these actions and exercising them, you are exceptional.
00:20:57.215 --> 00:20:59.260
The challenge is not knowing what to do.
00:20:59.260 --> 00:21:00.685
It's being able to do it.
00:21:00.685 --> 00:21:04.943
Like I came clean and starting the 75 e hard a week later than you.
00:21:04.943 --> 00:21:08.318
It's not that I didn't try, but tries a dirty word.
00:21:08.318 --> 00:21:11.446
I had to decide and then I had to take action.
00:21:11.446 --> 00:21:17.650
It's hard, I get it, but that's the barrier to entry.
00:21:17.650 --> 00:21:18.714
Does that make sense, joe?
00:21:19.696 --> 00:21:20.799
It really, really does.
00:21:20.799 --> 00:21:27.286
I feel like we're being extra profound today because what you're saying is applicable not just in your business.
00:21:27.286 --> 00:21:31.727
What's applicable in every single relationship you ever encounter.
00:21:31.727 --> 00:21:38.795
There's those who are told, hey, I need more of this to be happy, and then try or do nothing.
00:21:38.795 --> 00:21:44.714
But any single person who tries will always be exponentially further than the one.
00:21:44.714 --> 00:21:49.006
I don't care if you just crawled to the goal.
00:21:49.006 --> 00:21:52.194
You would still be far better off if you just simply looked behind.
00:21:52.194 --> 00:22:04.104
And so everyone who is still like, well, I can't move an inch because of compared to you, who was like, yeah, I'm going to physically crawl there if I have to 100%, man, 100%.
00:22:04.724 --> 00:22:07.450
This competition mentality will sink you.
00:22:07.450 --> 00:22:10.295
And just to really solidify this, it is a scarcity mindset.
00:22:10.295 --> 00:22:12.106
Let's work through it for a second.
00:22:12.106 --> 00:22:19.934
Why do people want to hoard their strategies from competitors in their market competitors?
00:22:23.204 --> 00:22:31.146
The reason I can think of is that they believe that the strategy is what's making them successful, and not their ability to take action on it.
00:22:32.375 --> 00:22:33.836
So they're not the hero in the story.
00:22:33.836 --> 00:22:35.577
The strategy is correct.
00:22:35.577 --> 00:22:37.500
Okay, so the story is wrong.
00:22:37.500 --> 00:22:49.271
And so, by hoarding that strategy, not telling their other people, the proponents in that market, those strategies, those electric for their secrets, what are they effectively trying to do then?
00:22:49.955 --> 00:23:04.826
They're trying to almost lower the bar, in a way, because if you had a path to do good customer service and you don't share that with anyone else and no one else knows about it, you find that you're always competing against those who don't offer customer service.
00:23:04.826 --> 00:23:16.920
The downside is that you're actually fighting against all those people who are trying to be the same and you're the only outlier Compared to if you taught those techniques.
00:23:16.920 --> 00:23:22.246
They all tried to do better customer service and then you need to consistently get better.
00:23:22.246 --> 00:23:37.467
Now the minimum price of your competitor just went up and therefore, instead of you fighting the eighty nine dollar charge, you're fighting a hundred eighty nine dollar charge, meaning you become better and better as you go just by making others better, rising the tide effectively.
00:23:39.397 --> 00:23:44.867
So what they're effectively trying to do, then the question back to what I was asking is play a game of keep away.
00:23:44.867 --> 00:23:45.628
Would you agree with that?
00:23:46.454 --> 00:23:47.579
Yeah, I can give you on that.
00:00:01.481 --> 00:00:03.625
00:00:03.625 --> 00:00:16.826
00:00:16.826 --> 00:00:27.980
00:00:27.980 --> 00:00:33.000
00:00:33.740 --> 00:00:43.573
00:00:43.573 --> 00:00:44.774
00:00:44.774 --> 00:00:46.100
00:00:46.100 --> 00:00:50.688
00:00:50.688 --> 00:00:53.872
00:00:53.872 --> 00:00:59.003
00:00:59.003 --> 00:01:04.649
00:01:04.649 --> 00:01:06.990
00:01:06.990 --> 00:01:09.132
00:01:09.132 --> 00:01:17.427
00:01:17.427 --> 00:01:21.132
00:01:21.132 --> 00:01:22.254
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:24.426
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:26.382
00:01:26.382 --> 00:01:30.227
00:01:30.227 --> 00:01:32.010
00:01:32.010 --> 00:01:34.394
00:01:35.320 --> 00:02:03.000
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:12.693
00:02:12.693 --> 00:02:17.402
00:02:17.402 --> 00:02:25.391
00:02:25.391 --> 00:02:29.716
00:02:30.461 --> 00:02:31.542
00:02:31.542 --> 00:02:36.330
00:02:36.330 --> 00:02:38.954
00:02:38.954 --> 00:02:41.312
00:02:41.312 --> 00:02:42.000
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:52.793
00:02:52.793 --> 00:02:55.836
00:02:55.836 --> 00:03:14.852
00:03:14.852 --> 00:03:17.274
00:03:17.274 --> 00:03:18.455
00:03:19.581 --> 00:03:20.986
00:03:20.986 --> 00:03:21.949
00:03:22.701 --> 00:03:29.960
00:03:30.661 --> 00:03:32.304
00:03:32.304 --> 00:03:41.000
00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:48.348
00:03:48.348 --> 00:03:51.353
00:03:51.353 --> 00:03:57.000
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:07.694
00:04:07.694 --> 00:04:15.493
00:04:15.493 --> 00:04:29.269
00:04:29.269 --> 00:04:32.709
00:04:33.781 --> 00:04:37.932
00:04:37.932 --> 00:04:40.786
00:04:40.786 --> 00:04:41.148
00:04:41.148 --> 00:04:47.708
00:04:47.708 --> 00:04:55.120
00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:57.345
00:04:57.985 --> 00:05:11.733
00:05:11.733 --> 00:05:13.185
00:05:13.185 --> 00:05:14.288
00:05:14.288 --> 00:05:16.879
00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:29.939
00:05:29.939 --> 00:05:31.043
00:05:31.043 --> 00:05:32.569
00:05:32.569 --> 00:05:38.860
00:05:39.444 --> 00:05:42.180
00:05:42.180 --> 00:05:59.608
00:05:59.608 --> 00:06:01.673
00:06:01.673 --> 00:06:08.754
00:06:08.754 --> 00:06:12.526
00:06:12.526 --> 00:06:15.072
00:06:15.072 --> 00:06:18.189
00:06:18.189 --> 00:06:30.899
00:06:30.899 --> 00:06:41.949
00:06:42.028 --> 00:06:53.612
00:06:53.612 --> 00:06:59.307
00:06:59.307 --> 00:07:12.471
00:07:12.471 --> 00:07:16.845
00:07:16.845 --> 00:07:35.699
00:07:35.699 --> 00:07:43.252
00:07:43.781 --> 00:07:48.220
00:07:48.220 --> 00:07:55.634
00:07:55.634 --> 00:08:00.851
00:08:00.851 --> 00:08:05.247
00:08:05.247 --> 00:08:14.293
00:08:14.293 --> 00:08:19.853
00:08:19.853 --> 00:08:40.453
00:08:42.043 --> 00:08:42.785
00:08:42.785 --> 00:08:43.326
00:08:43.326 --> 00:08:45.192
00:08:45.192 --> 00:08:48.686
00:08:48.686 --> 00:08:51.532
00:08:51.852 --> 00:08:52.052
00:08:52.601 --> 00:08:58.850
00:08:58.850 --> 00:09:00.614
00:09:00.614 --> 00:09:07.807
00:09:07.807 --> 00:09:09.572
00:09:09.572 --> 00:09:11.325
00:09:11.706 --> 00:09:13.652
00:09:13.652 --> 00:09:23.850
00:09:23.850 --> 00:09:38.940
00:09:38.940 --> 00:09:46.580
00:09:46.580 --> 00:09:52.859
00:09:52.859 --> 00:09:53.946
00:09:53.946 --> 00:09:56.470
00:09:56.470 --> 00:10:03.860
00:10:03.860 --> 00:10:05.879
00:10:07.427 --> 00:10:19.797
00:10:21.701 --> 00:10:23.501
00:10:23.501 --> 00:10:24.942
00:10:24.942 --> 00:10:44.836
00:10:44.836 --> 00:10:49.779
00:10:49.779 --> 00:10:52.623
00:10:52.623 --> 00:10:55.764
00:10:55.764 --> 00:11:08.197
00:11:08.197 --> 00:11:12.322
00:11:12.322 --> 00:11:21.672
