00:00:02.004 --> 00:00:09.026
Hello, hello, hello and welcome back to yet another episode of Electricpreneur Secrets, the Electricians podcast.
00:00:09.026 --> 00:00:10.544
I'm your host, Clay Neumeyer.
00:00:10.544 --> 00:00:22.966
With me, as always, my esteemed co-host, Joseph Lucani, and we are the Electricpreneurs A couple of master electricians with business addictions, here and ready to serve, Serve, who Serve you.
00:00:22.966 --> 00:00:31.390
If you're an electrician out there looking to master your sales, simplify your pricing or deliver premium level electrical service, then you, my friend, are in the right place.
00:00:31.390 --> 00:00:33.063
On this podcast.
00:00:33.063 --> 00:00:34.328
This is no exception.
00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:42.689
We got some boys here that we have an interviewer chatted with in a while, that are back from episode three with Edward Rivera and Eddie Cruz.
00:00:42.689 --> 00:00:44.162
Oh my gosh.
00:00:44.162 --> 00:00:48.472
That one was titled Get Fired Up and Fire Yourself.
00:00:48.472 --> 00:01:01.070
We talked so much about some of the fundamentals of business really getting this stuff right, but also building up an enterprise and a culture that's actually culturally significant that people want to work for, and some strategies to do that.
00:01:01.070 --> 00:01:13.248
Well, today it's been a while, but we're going to get back to this with some more forward thinking, some innovation niching down to tie perfectly into this week and everything that these guys have been up to, which is pretty exciting stuff.
00:01:13.248 --> 00:01:18.067
We just thought it'd be pretty entertaining, Joe, first and foremost, how are you doing today, brother?
00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:20.046
Man, I appreciate you asking.
00:01:20.046 --> 00:01:21.605
I feel absolutely blessed.
00:01:21.605 --> 00:01:22.703
It's been a great day.
00:01:22.703 --> 00:01:24.463
The class was amazing.
00:01:24.463 --> 00:01:29.012
This morning I had an absolutely great time when you told me that we had this conversation on lock.
00:01:29.012 --> 00:01:30.802
I was really looking forward to talking to the Yetis.
00:01:30.802 --> 00:01:37.043
It's just one of those things where I'm feeling very grateful to be where I am, and I'm even more grateful to be working with someone like yourself.
00:01:37.864 --> 00:01:39.186
Awesome brother, I'm feeling good too.
00:01:39.206 --> 00:01:39.668
How are you holding up?
00:01:39.688 --> 00:01:41.691
today, absolutely Nothing but greats, man.
00:01:41.691 --> 00:01:51.140
Some days actually, it's more like five days a week you just kind of wake up and realize, hey, we're back to serving electric printers again Again.
00:01:51.140 --> 00:02:02.947
All the different ways that we receive praise and get to see results and get to help people with their challenges every single moment of it makes me reflect on how grateful I am for this journey and these guys who are with us.
00:02:02.947 --> 00:02:03.990
Let's get them introduced.
00:02:03.990 --> 00:02:06.647
Ion Electrical Team Size right around 10.
00:02:06.647 --> 00:02:12.570
Nitching down I think last time we spoke these guys were kind of doing construction service.
00:02:12.570 --> 00:02:14.463
I'm going to let them speak to this.
00:02:14.463 --> 00:02:16.149
But really exciting stuff for you guys.
00:02:16.149 --> 00:02:17.562
Eddie, join us.
00:02:17.562 --> 00:02:19.004
Edward join us, say hello.
00:02:19.004 --> 00:02:20.889
Let's get this conversation started.
00:02:20.929 --> 00:02:21.610
Let's go.
00:02:21.610 --> 00:02:22.290
Let's go.
00:02:22.290 --> 00:02:23.193
This is awesome man.
00:02:23.193 --> 00:02:26.105
I love the introduction.
00:02:26.105 --> 00:02:28.191
This is awesome man.
00:02:28.191 --> 00:02:31.306
This is, like I said, from a year ago, from my last conversation.
00:02:31.306 --> 00:02:33.451
A lot has changed, a lot has happened.
00:02:33.451 --> 00:02:35.507
It's a lot of exciting stuff.
00:02:35.507 --> 00:02:39.326
Me and Eddie are really excited to talk about all that.
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:45.122
The last time we didn't even have an intro right, it was just a conversation.
00:02:45.122 --> 00:02:50.906
We literally, I think we were having a discovery call and we're like at the end wait, I think I saw an Edwards wall.
00:02:50.906 --> 00:02:54.560
You had foam on the back and I was like, wait, you got acoustic.
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:56.566
What do you call those things?
00:02:56.606 --> 00:02:57.008
Backing.
00:02:57.860 --> 00:02:59.407
Yeah, acoustic backing behind you.
00:02:59.407 --> 00:03:01.843
You guys are like, yeah, we want to do a podcast someday.
00:03:01.843 --> 00:03:04.109
Here we are the second time, Edward.
00:03:04.109 --> 00:03:04.789
How about you, brother?
00:03:04.789 --> 00:03:05.411
How are you doing today?
00:03:06.212 --> 00:03:08.205
Doing great, like we were talking about before we got on.
00:03:08.205 --> 00:03:20.788
I couldn't be happier with everything, for many different reasons, but mainly because since then, with the foam and everything it's all kind of, there's a method to the madness and we're still working on that.
00:03:20.900 --> 00:03:26.390
We were literally just talking about that, okay, like we're nicheing down and you asked this question earlier, clay like how are we doing that?
00:03:26.390 --> 00:03:28.286
It kind of comes back to the video thing.
00:03:28.286 --> 00:03:38.552
The reason why we got the mics and stuff is we're going to be pumping out crazy amount of content that's just going to drive leads back to us for those specific things only.
00:03:39.484 --> 00:03:43.644
I mean, and then I was just telling Eddie, my brain's changing because we talk about this so much.
00:03:43.644 --> 00:03:43.865
Now.
00:03:43.865 --> 00:03:47.770
When I get up to speak it just comes just right away.
00:03:47.770 --> 00:03:52.252
It's like a word track that like I just just off the tongue now, but sound like an expert.
00:03:52.252 --> 00:03:52.914
You know what I mean.
00:03:52.914 --> 00:03:53.837
I guess I could say it.
00:03:54.882 --> 00:04:05.550
Joe, I see you going after that I got a time out right there, because we know so many people struggle with that exact thing Like when is it just going to feel natural than a word track for me?
00:04:05.550 --> 00:04:07.302
Can we just take a moment and give it?
00:04:07.302 --> 00:04:11.472
Give Joe, actually I'll let you run this one, but I see you pumped up.
00:04:11.472 --> 00:04:12.092
We're parallel.
00:04:12.340 --> 00:04:16.771
I mean literally like it was one of those things that I was going to ask an extremely similar question.
00:04:16.771 --> 00:04:24.283
I think it's really interesting that you are on the same page with that, but please tell us a little bit more about what made you want to do that the five things you.
00:04:24.283 --> 00:04:26.430
Originally what we talked about was the areas you want to niche in.
00:04:26.430 --> 00:04:30.971
I like that they're narrowing the focus but also generating more leads for it.
00:04:30.971 --> 00:04:32.244
Can you tell us a little more about that?
00:04:33.007 --> 00:04:33.267
Yeah.
00:04:33.267 --> 00:04:50.286
So you know, me and Eddie, like, the reason why we drive so much and I can tell you and Claire the same way is like we're just on the same wavelength where, no matter what we do, we're always trying to run it lean, efficient, high level, high quality, everything, everybody's premium, is our standard.
00:04:50.286 --> 00:05:00.012
So, with that being said, like same thing with the business and everything else, we're noticing like, oh man, like we're making the most money on these very particular ones.
00:05:00.012 --> 00:05:04.531
Oh, and it just so happens that we love talking about it on end, like in and out of work.
00:05:04.531 --> 00:05:14.290
We'll be over the weekend chatting about AI and technology and all this stuff and then it just, you know, just naturally threads into our business.
00:05:14.290 --> 00:05:16.367
And so that's what kind of motivated this whole thing.
00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:22.833
And I think what really was putting the final decision maker on there was two major things were happening.
00:05:22.833 --> 00:05:29.473
Eddie went out to a conference on behalf of ION, you know, just to level up again, you know, learn more.
00:05:29.473 --> 00:05:34.190
And at the same time, I entered this program called the Golden Sets 10,000 Small Businesses.
00:05:34.190 --> 00:05:42.324
The major theme of that is to identify a major opportunity that could elevate your business to the next level, you know.
00:05:42.324 --> 00:05:48.185
And so they run you through the ringer with coaches and mentors and long story short, me and Eddie.
00:05:48.185 --> 00:05:51.701
You know he calls me at the airport, he's heading back and we're on the phone.
00:05:51.701 --> 00:05:52.584
We're both excited.
00:05:53.040 --> 00:06:04.112
I talk, I go first and I'm like dude, I got this idea for like this, all this stuff smart home packages like it's going to help people save money, get off the grid, it's going to make them homeowners again, and we go to the Eddie goes dude.
00:06:04.112 --> 00:06:04.620
I love this.
00:06:04.620 --> 00:06:08.641
I literally have notes here saying almost the same thing, like I was.
00:06:08.641 --> 00:06:22.610
Like we got to put together like these packages, like custom made towards people's needs you know, meeting where they're at and so it was just wild and so we've been kind of just writing that way since then and we've just been trying to fine tune it and correcting course, you know to be brand ourselves.
00:06:22.649 --> 00:06:23.651
That was so crazy.
00:06:23.651 --> 00:06:31.019
I called them at the airport and my dude, I got, I got all his ideas, but I got these top three out of all the ideas are written down.
00:06:31.019 --> 00:06:36.992
I got these top three that we could implement realistically in the next month and dates and everything.
00:06:36.992 --> 00:06:41.860
And those top three were the exact same top three he had and it was just like insane.
00:06:41.860 --> 00:06:48.807
They was just like damn, okay, cool, like this is follows energy, this follows this wavelength and you know and the results are.
00:06:48.807 --> 00:06:50.692
You know, are the results now.
00:06:50.692 --> 00:06:53.105
So no, that's pretty awesome.
00:06:54.040 --> 00:07:00.709
And you know, it's also really cool how, like some people say and it's a frequently made quote at the fastest sinking ship as a partnership.
00:07:00.709 --> 00:07:10.853
But both Clay and I and you two eddies are exact opposite scenarios where you find the right person and it just elevates everything that you do.
00:07:10.853 --> 00:07:12.264
Like I wake up every day.
00:07:12.264 --> 00:07:13.745
I love what we do.
00:07:13.745 --> 00:07:20.607
It's hard work, but like I'm working with one of my closest friends in the world, we're genuinely helping lives.
00:07:20.607 --> 00:07:22.425
We're passionate about the things we do.
00:07:22.425 --> 00:07:28.339
I love I mean, you guys see, whenever someone talked about generators or options, I'm like so you know what?
00:07:28.339 --> 00:07:31.769
I'm happy that you guys get to experience that same kind of love and joy.
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:46.117
I can truly be happy we have to touch on this for a moment longer, because I literally had this thought the other day I was driving down the road to pick up my daughter from the airport and I'm thinking about, like that expression, fastest sinking ship as a partnership.
00:07:46.117 --> 00:07:47.783
But that hasn't been our experience.
00:07:47.783 --> 00:07:53.925
It's probably why we're all here again, because you guys seem to have this too, and me and Joe, I mean, we met online.
00:07:53.925 --> 00:07:55.704
Man, you're the best thing I ever found online, brother.
00:07:56.307 --> 00:07:57.762
Yeah, I mean normally.
00:07:57.762 --> 00:08:00.230
I would say the same, but I did meet my wife online too.
00:08:00.230 --> 00:08:02.483
So like hey, you know it was.
00:08:02.524 --> 00:08:02.644
so.
00:08:02.644 --> 00:08:20.564
You know, the cool thing about that is, like, clay, the last year, when me and Eddie were on the episode three of your podcast that you were talking about finding, like finding your best friend partner, that's saying that shares the same way with you, like we talked about that the last time we were hopped on together.
00:08:20.564 --> 00:08:24.117
The next year, you know, when you're later, there's Joe I thought that's so sick.
00:08:24.137 --> 00:08:24.759
I just manifested it.
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:28.930
You gotta tell me about this, because I was actually going to do this conversation to share with me.
00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:33.287
At that time it was like a month later, though that's how close that actually was.
00:08:33.923 --> 00:08:35.732
So I got this quote written on my board.
00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:41.063
I got this quote written on my board and it says if you're a great manifestor, you have to be careful what you think.
00:08:41.063 --> 00:08:46.890
And I, sirs, am a great manifestor Guilty as charged.
00:08:46.890 --> 00:08:50.289
But let me say one more thing here that I kind of left off.
00:08:50.289 --> 00:09:12.730
The reason, joe, that our I know for us especially, that our partnership works so good, is because we share a passion for this purpose, and so what that means is, every day, I'm not driven by guilt or a shadow of what you're expecting me to do, or, likewise, I trust you to do the things because you're passionate about this too.
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:33.667
So there's never this moment of like well, a cross accountability that's in a negative or a shadow, if that makes sense like we hold each other accountable to do our best, but I would never, ever put it across you or think about you in a way that that you didn't do your best for our mission.
00:09:33.667 --> 00:09:39.086
If that makes sense and I think a lot of partnerships don't have that- and that it's a very mutual feeling.
00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:47.945
You know, it's one of those things where, like, we live on opposite sides, we live in two different countries, but I know every single hour of the day you're probably noses the same way.
00:09:47.945 --> 00:09:49.371
I think against the keyboard is mine.
00:09:49.371 --> 00:09:51.782
We were like we're going to grow this at every.
00:09:51.782 --> 00:10:07.070
In fact, literally this morning, when we had our morning meeting, I was like gushing over all the things that we're doing with our program, like we're implementing new lessons and we're having better recordings and we've got the app design, like all that great stuff, and I'm literally like high five and I'm over the screen because I feel so passionate about it.
00:10:07.070 --> 00:10:09.080
And I know you were the exact same way.
00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:12.703
So, if anything, the four of us seem like peas in a pod 100% man.
00:10:12.724 --> 00:10:17.485
Can I say anything better myself, In fact, you know where we hold each other accountable most.
00:10:17.525 --> 00:10:18.629
This is actually laughable.
00:10:18.629 --> 00:10:20.111
It's like lunchtime.
00:10:20.833 --> 00:10:22.236
Oh my God, hey bro, do you take your break?
00:10:22.256 --> 00:10:22.918
Hey bro take a break.
00:10:22.918 --> 00:10:25.620
You need a break, bro, like slow down brother.
00:10:25.620 --> 00:10:27.307
Hey, take some time right.
00:10:27.307 --> 00:10:28.363
You guys find that too.
00:10:29.225 --> 00:10:33.408
Yeah, oh yeah, because me personally I don't take lunch.
00:10:33.408 --> 00:10:43.385
Me personally, because I always find myself kind of, if I do take lunch I kind of slow down, I become kind of productive and that kind of gained that kind of.
00:10:43.385 --> 00:10:52.941
I kind of started not taking lunch for my last career when I was traveling a lot and working on industrial machinery where it's like everything's heavy and they're tight spaces.
00:10:52.941 --> 00:10:57.621
So if I had a heavy lunch, I'm not yeah, I'm not lifting that crazy heavy motor Like I'm not doing that.
00:10:57.621 --> 00:11:01.259
So I just naturally became not taking lunch.
00:11:01.259 --> 00:11:04.236
It's kind of easy for me to not, you know stop that time.
00:11:04.256 --> 00:11:04.979
intentional fasting.
00:11:05.539 --> 00:11:09.139
Yeah, basically, well, just like that's.
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:09.942
That's a fun.
00:11:09.942 --> 00:11:40.255
I like to talk more about that a little bit, just because I was saying earlier about, you know, starting a Tommy Mello's book, and one thing I was took away from the podcast was, you know, he's like I did this major switch right, like you know, of, you know, health first, you know, and then Eddie has been helping me with that over the last couple of years and it's funny because I've been having a couple of my trade partners who have been going with me to the gym now, you know, and again Eddie takes that super serious and so they're asking me hey, I want to look like any cruise, like what is the workout he does?
00:11:40.730 --> 00:11:43.933
I'm like well, luckily enough he taught me the whole workout and and again.
00:11:43.933 --> 00:11:53.034
It's cool because I find myself and all of our other professional friends and, like you guys, you know we're all kind of sync, synchronizing, you know we're all coming together and and I love it.
00:11:53.034 --> 00:11:53.736
You know what I mean.
00:11:53.736 --> 00:12:02.750
It's it's very contagious and you know seeing you guys crushing it, it's the same way, man, we're watching you guys and we talk about you guys all the time like damn, they're out there just driving.
00:12:03.351 --> 00:12:04.456
You guys are just crushing it.
00:12:04.456 --> 00:12:05.139
You know what I mean.
00:12:05.139 --> 00:12:05.831
Like Vegeta.
00:12:05.831 --> 00:12:11.363
Goku, you see that picture where there's they're just fist pumping it, man, it's like you guys, man, Like exactly.
00:12:11.730 --> 00:12:12.494
I appreciate that.
00:12:12.494 --> 00:12:14.576
You know there's an expression for this.
00:12:14.576 --> 00:12:21.201
It's called invisible leadership and we use this phrase all the time of like, don't listen to what we say, watch what we do.
00:12:21.201 --> 00:12:23.373
It's one of our most important values.
00:12:23.373 --> 00:12:24.414
That's not even listed.
00:12:24.414 --> 00:12:30.360
Really is congruent speech and action, but it is one of our superpowers is like man.
00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:32.429
We don't wait long to take action on something.
00:12:32.429 --> 00:12:36.456
If we know it's the right thing to do, we just fucking move right.
00:12:36.456 --> 00:12:37.413
It's just time to go.
00:12:37.413 --> 00:12:48.162
And on, your health is where it matters most in invisible leadership, because no workforce wants to be preached about eating the fucking chips or going to the fucking gym.
00:12:48.162 --> 00:12:51.514
Excuse my F-bombs, but this is important, no no, this is super important.
00:12:52.070 --> 00:12:54.256
Doing the thing, leading by example.
00:12:54.256 --> 00:13:00.902
That's that invisible leadership piece that will impact your culture huge, just by leading.
00:13:01.470 --> 00:13:14.418
I mean, just just just go about just basic needs, like if your body is that healthy, how, and if you're in a position of leadership as a business owner, how do you expect to make good, healthy decisions for your business if you're not making healthy, good decisions for yourself?
00:13:14.418 --> 00:13:19.301
You know we only have this, this meat sack that we're in.
00:13:19.301 --> 00:13:20.756
We want to get one shot at it.
00:13:20.756 --> 00:13:23.350
Yep, take care of it.
00:13:24.374 --> 00:13:39.356
And I feel like there's a lot on the line too, like about, like the, with the team growing and people coming on, and it's like man, I'm not just doing it for myself and the kids and the wife, my friends, like all of our other employees and stuff too, like they all depend on us to show up every day right, like a hundred percent and give it our all.
00:13:39.356 --> 00:13:45.359
And I feel like it's my responsibility to you know, kind of like to put what, put the oxygen demands on first before you can help the person next to you.
00:13:45.359 --> 00:14:00.097
Like I gotta take care of myself, be healthy, make those decisions and be there for my team, you know, and so that's why I'm glad Eddie helps with me every day, like that he takes health so serious and and I take it for granted, and so the last year has just been taken a lot more serious.
00:14:01.149 --> 00:14:05.368
You know, I want to jump into a couple of things you guys said, which was first.
00:14:05.368 --> 00:14:10.893
It's like I've heard about the meat suit, but I've always believed that we're literally not even a meat suit.
00:14:11.450 --> 00:14:17.101
We are a bone mech piloted by a meat outside guy piloted by some goo in the top of your head.
00:14:17.929 --> 00:14:18.940
Like it's not even just a meat suit.
00:14:19.029 --> 00:14:36.059
You are literally a mech machine, that is being piloted by a pilot goo, which is really cool to think about and I love, eddie, that you're really into physical I always feel like, in addition, there's three pillars that we need to talk about, which is the physical health, the mental health and emotional health, and the spiritual health.
00:14:36.870 --> 00:14:55.395
Like, literally, when I start my day, yeah, there's a workout in the morning, but it's also intentional prayer time and it's also making sure that I'm grounded in what I want to do for the day, because, I mean, I don't know if you guys are fathers, but when your kids wake you up early in the morning and you're not already mentally and emotionally and spiritually prepared for it, you react differently.
00:14:55.395 --> 00:15:06.155
But even if you're not parents think about you have that ADM meeting or that seven, a meeting with your texts, and the one never cleaned out their van or they went through and they didn't order the material and pull it right.
00:15:06.155 --> 00:15:11.640
How you're going to react to that is going to send waves throughout your entire company culture.
00:15:11.640 --> 00:15:14.236
Did the boss yell at that guy in front of someone else?
00:15:14.236 --> 00:15:18.313
Well, was it because he didn't have a good breakfast and he was stuck in traffic because he didn't wake up on time?
00:15:18.313 --> 00:15:27.582
That's on you and we have to take ownership of that, because that's the invisible levers that people don't talk about, but it's the things that sink the most ships.
00:15:27.602 --> 00:15:28.587
Absolutely.
00:15:28.587 --> 00:15:47.022
And I think that knowing I think knowing where to draw that line to, and knowing your own self, like you can ask Eddie and the other team, like sometimes I'll wake up and I'm a lot of this in a bad mood and I'm like my team doesn't deserve this side of me, and so I'll literally send a text out group chat hey guys, I'm not sure what's going on, I'm in a bad mood, I'm not really in the right mindset to really kind of talk.
00:15:47.022 --> 00:15:50.111
Give me an hour and I'll be back and I'll go on a walk.
00:15:50.111 --> 00:15:54.783
You know, do some reflection, drink some coffee and it's like, all right, I'm ready.
00:15:54.783 --> 00:15:56.696
I'm ready to like be there for my team now.
00:15:56.696 --> 00:15:59.836
Like I'm there and I was trying to save them from that.
00:15:59.836 --> 00:16:00.298
You know what I mean.
00:16:00.298 --> 00:16:07.456
So I think, being aware of like, like, kind of what mood you're in and kind of being able to manage that and protect others from that.
00:16:07.475 --> 00:16:08.177
They don't deserve that.
00:16:08.177 --> 00:16:08.619
You know what I mean.
00:16:08.619 --> 00:16:09.581
They deserve the best view.
00:16:10.649 --> 00:16:20.339
I have to tie in the importance of what you just said to a philosophy that we kind of use and speak to sometimes, and it's this idea of like what it takes to get to the next level.
00:16:20.339 --> 00:16:40.394
And it's a ladder and there's three pieces to the ladder the first side rail is your personal development, the second side rail being your process and then the rungs being the people you add to it to help you up to that next level, and then you've got a big run to learn and get through all the challenges again before you're ready to climb right.
00:16:40.394 --> 00:16:50.634
But what you just said was so important to that first side rail that I don't think people have gotten this at the same depth from our podcast before, so I need to go into it for a minute.
00:16:51.115 --> 00:16:52.158
Let's do it, let's do it.
00:16:52.158 --> 00:17:00.826
I need to have the awareness to say I'm not in a good mood right now and my people don't deserve that Bingo.
00:17:00.826 --> 00:17:10.173
Most people that experience this, edward, are like I'm this person, I'm grumpy, I am negative all the time, I am a martyr.
00:17:10.173 --> 00:17:14.498
I am and they have all these identifier statements that are in their fucking heads.
00:17:14.498 --> 00:17:22.998
And what you just said is and that may have been you at times, you may have had those identifiers, but you're doing the work.
00:17:22.998 --> 00:17:28.958
That is personal development, the self awareness to say, hey, my team doesn't deserve this.
00:17:28.958 --> 00:17:30.394
Right now, I have a duty.
00:17:30.394 --> 00:17:31.473
I need to improve.
00:17:31.473 --> 00:17:39.792
I'm going to take a breath, I'm going to take a walk, I'm going to eat my fucking Wheaties, whatever that is, your team deserves that and it's a better you.
00:17:39.792 --> 00:17:41.955
And that's personal development.
00:17:41.955 --> 00:17:43.836
Most don't recognize.
00:17:43.836 --> 00:17:46.465
That's actually a skill, not an identity.
00:17:46.988 --> 00:17:51.019
No, absolutely, I totally agree and just not even beyond like your team doesn't deserve that.
00:17:51.019 --> 00:17:55.770
If you're in a bad mindset and you have a consultation, you have a consultation call coming up.
00:17:55.770 --> 00:18:07.298
That customer, that homeowner that's reaching out to, doesn't deserve that grumpy attitude either, cause guess what, you're not going to land that sale, you're not going to be in a position to show empathy of why they're calling you.
00:18:07.298 --> 00:18:08.413
How are you gonna help them?
00:18:08.413 --> 00:18:25.056
It just stems so much deeper when you had that self-awareness of your mindset and where you were at and you're kind of your process or your day-to-day how you wake up and go from, and you're kind of the task that you decided to set you up for the day.
00:18:25.670 --> 00:18:29.654
And how are you gonna lead a team to help them Exactly If you don't get that in check?
00:18:30.230 --> 00:18:37.134
Exactly exactly, you know what I mean, the beautiful part about it is it kind of spreads out in all directions, right?
00:18:37.134 --> 00:18:40.913
I, my conversations with my wife and even my kids are better.
00:18:40.913 --> 00:18:46.317
You know what I mean, like me and Eddie doing like role plays and just being better communicators, like just all around.
00:18:46.317 --> 00:18:48.696
That's why, again, going back to this, I'm so happy.
00:18:48.696 --> 00:18:49.973
Just, things are just in this.
00:18:49.973 --> 00:18:51.037
You know just good.
00:18:51.037 --> 00:18:52.573
It's good, it's all love, man.
00:18:52.573 --> 00:18:56.596
You know me becoming a better person and just better listener and all these things.
00:18:56.596 --> 00:18:59.535
It's like wow, who would have thought everything else around me gets better?
00:18:59.535 --> 00:18:59.875
Yeah.
00:18:59.895 --> 00:19:12.231
You know, there's something that I feel like we need to call into attention here that I think is a real deciding factor of why so many people choose to use you, and it's that the average man has the emotional capacity of a teaspoon.
00:19:12.231 --> 00:19:14.616
Like that's really all we have.
00:19:14.710 --> 00:19:27.994
It's like it's just this little tiny emotional awareness, that's it bro, and that is like 90% of men, even more so in the trades, and yet we're trying to appeal to homeowners on an emotional basis.
00:19:27.994 --> 00:19:37.813
So you see where the gap is, where it's like I'm trying to solve an emotional problem but I have such little grasp of my own emotions and what triggers them.
00:19:37.813 --> 00:19:43.516
How could you possibly solve their issues if you can't even comprehend your own?
00:19:43.516 --> 00:19:56.114
So the fact that you're able to say I recognize that I'm feeling this way right now they touched on saying, like you didn't drop an I am statement, but I'm feeling this way right now and my team doesn't deserve it.
00:19:57.369 --> 00:20:05.934
The reason why I'm good at what I do I mean other than my own inner gifts is the fact that I did years and years and years of therapy to learn who I am.
00:20:05.934 --> 00:20:09.915
Like I've been, I did therapy since like 2017, and on every day, every week.
00:20:09.915 --> 00:20:13.618
So the thought of saying do you understand yourself?
00:20:13.618 --> 00:20:17.960
You cannot control or influence anyone.
00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:25.657
Not that we want to control anyone, but the quote goes you cannot influence the feelings of others until you've learned to master your own.
