S2 Ep 46 The Three Electricians. Mr. Fix it, Mr. Sell It, Mr. Service. Which are you?

S2 Ep 46 The Three Electricians. Mr. Fix it, Mr. Sell It, Mr. Service. Which are you?

Every electrician fits into one of three categories but only ONE of them builds a lasting, scalable business. In this episode of the Million Dollar Electrician Podcast, Clay and Zac breaks down the 3 core identities he sees in every electrical business owner:

Mr. Fix-It – Honest intentions, small paychecks, and no time
Mr. Sell-It – Pushy sales tactics that work… until they don’t
Mr. Service – Trusted advisor, high tickets, legacy business

You’ll also learn:
How one first-time owner hit $75K in his first 31 days
The real reason homeowners don’t buy (hint: it’s not price)
How to build lifetime clients from $300 calls without being pushy
The Service Loop Method that transforms your sales without pressure.

If you’ve ever said:
• “I need more leads”
• “My close rate is low”
• “I don’t know what to charge”
This episode will flip the switch in your mindset and your business!

Which one are you — Mr. Fix-It, Mr. Sell-It, or Mr. Service?

00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:05.884
The biggest price you pay in your life is not understanding how to create value, not having a framework for it.

00:00:05.884 --> 00:00:07.790
If you could create value, what would stop you then?

00:00:07.790 --> 00:00:19.792
Hello, hello, hello and welcome to the Million Dollar Electrician podcast, where we help home service pros like you supercharge your business and spark up those sales.

00:00:19.792 --> 00:00:21.082
I'm Joseph.

00:00:21.123 --> 00:00:28.050
Lucani, and together with my co-host, Clay Neumeier, we're here to share the secrets that have helped electricians sell over a million dollars from a single service van.

00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:38.375
Now it's time for sales, it's time for scale, it's time to become a million dollar electrician.

00:00:38.375 --> 00:00:43.209
Hey you guys, and welcome back to the show.

00:00:43.209 --> 00:00:47.164
We've got a really exciting podcast for you today and it's a bit different.

00:00:47.164 --> 00:00:59.965
Joe's on vacation, you've got me and you're getting me unedited being interviewed by Zach Garside, who became our email guy helping us out, just like you saw in the interview just a few weeks back with Zach.

00:00:59.965 --> 00:01:08.947
So hope you enjoy this unedited raw footage of just what we do, how we help electricians and how passionate we are to do those things.

00:01:08.947 --> 00:01:10.129
Let's do it together.

00:01:10.129 --> 00:01:11.093
Get this interview.

00:01:11.093 --> 00:01:12.504
Can't wait for you to enjoy it.

00:01:12.504 --> 00:01:13.227
Bye for now.

00:01:13.519 --> 00:01:16.180
You, Clay, are 100% unique from everyone else in your market.

00:01:16.180 --> 00:01:18.950
So together we're going to get to the root of what makes you different.

00:01:18.950 --> 00:01:23.745
I'm going to ask you a series of questions intentionally designed to uncover your unique, differentiating premise.

00:01:24.146 --> 00:01:27.557
Consider questions intentionally designed to uncover your unique differentiating premise.

00:01:27.596 --> 00:01:28.340
Consider me bought.

00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:32.522
All right, buying in.

00:01:32.522 --> 00:01:32.742
Here we go.

00:01:32.742 --> 00:01:33.325
Who is your target audience?

00:01:33.325 --> 00:01:34.207
Our target audience is the electrician.

00:01:34.207 --> 00:01:40.411
I don't say a electrician, I don't say any electrician, I say the electrician because there's a very specific type of electrician here.

00:01:40.632 --> 00:01:43.506
I'm going to big circle this one and say success loves speed.

00:01:43.506 --> 00:02:00.096
Right, and that's so important because the pains that me and my partner Joseph went through in not having support like we have today, which actually helps you understand the business and that leading characteristic of great business is service and it's positioning and it's innovation in that service.

00:02:00.096 --> 00:02:02.661
It's supporting people the way they want to be supported.

00:02:02.661 --> 00:02:37.162
But you first have to understand that I started with Success Loves Speed because I think one of the most undervalued pieces that we all need to know is like if my business and my process is resting on assumptions from something I learned from someone else, like an old journeyman or an old teacher in school that told me I'm supposed to do service a certain way or price a certain way, if you're that electrician, then you're an electrician that's not only using an antiquated process, but at a time where antiquation of process is happening faster than ever before.

00:02:37.162 --> 00:02:39.508
Holy shit, right.

00:02:39.508 --> 00:03:05.207
Not only is that process completely expired, but the process we're teaching will expire in short time too, and so we need to be part of a community and a group that's working together to stay on the cutting edge and continue to take what works and what's been proven for thousands of years of buyer psychology and just what people want, and roll that up into a community and a program that serves people where they're at today.

00:03:05.669 --> 00:03:12.682
Our target audience is made up of three of those electricians the kind that are just getting started.

00:03:12.682 --> 00:03:15.876
They have a lot of those old assumptions in their mind.

00:03:15.876 --> 00:03:17.622
They likely were never taught business.

00:03:17.622 --> 00:03:19.945
They likely have never had a coach yet.

00:03:19.945 --> 00:03:31.671
They're very new to this and they have a great opportunity to just rocket launch, like our client Nathan, who, on March 30, march 1st 2025, started his company.

00:03:31.671 --> 00:03:40.271
On April 2nd, he became the fastest from launch to podcast interview ever in our history.

00:03:40.271 --> 00:03:50.870
At 31 days in business, he did $75,000 and $5 and change in residential service alone by following these principles.

00:03:51.221 --> 00:03:52.826
He said 75K in 31 days.

00:03:53.048 --> 00:04:01.507
Yes, one man show, one van, never been in business before, jumped in this with us before he officially launched.

00:04:01.507 --> 00:04:03.606
I personally did his onboarding call.

00:04:03.606 --> 00:04:07.709
It was an amazing experience and I always have the same thought when this happens.

00:04:07.709 --> 00:04:14.161
I hope this person really grabs the torch and sprints because the plan works if you work the plan.

00:04:14.161 --> 00:04:22.591
But not everyone will work with the same level of intention, with the same diligence to just do those simple things as consistent as possible.

00:04:22.591 --> 00:04:22.988
That's avatar one.

00:04:22.988 --> 00:04:23.264
That's the noob.

00:04:23.264 --> 00:04:23.548
The second is the hustler.

00:04:23.548 --> 00:04:24.141
This person's been in business likely two to five years already.

00:04:24.086 --> 00:04:25.036
Those simple things, as consistent as possible.

00:04:25.036 --> 00:04:25.211
That's avatar one.

00:04:25.211 --> 00:04:25.305
That's the new.

00:04:25.305 --> 00:04:25.958
The second is the hustler.

00:04:25.958 --> 00:04:29.836
This person's been in business likely two to five years already.

00:04:29.836 --> 00:04:35.577
They may have experienced revenue above 250 K in a year, sometimes upwards of seven, 50 K.

00:04:35.577 --> 00:04:38.887
They've got a couple of vans on the road, but still no process.

00:04:38.887 --> 00:04:43.843
No process to serve, no process to hire or train.

00:04:43.843 --> 00:04:54.908
It's just a number of people that they've attracted because they're great electricians, doing great things, but they don't actually have a consistent way of articulating it or executing it.

00:04:54.908 --> 00:04:58.322
As a result, they don't know what they don't know and they're just held back by that.

00:04:58.322 --> 00:05:03.713
These are our favorite electricians because favorite strong.

00:05:03.713 --> 00:05:13.019
These are some of our favorite electricians because a couple unlocks usually result in massive gains and seven figure unlock in a very short time.

00:05:13.019 --> 00:05:17.632
It doesn't take much when there's already momentum beyond 500, but they're just at a ceiling.

00:05:17.632 --> 00:05:19.786
It's like a T-bar ceiling.

00:05:19.786 --> 00:05:21.206
It's a light lift for us.

00:05:21.206 --> 00:05:23.466
We just move the tile out of the way and you're up to the next floor.

00:05:24.350 --> 00:05:24.571
Yeah.

00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:27.406
The third avatar is the all-star.

00:05:27.406 --> 00:05:31.170
The all-star can be in fact, the all-star is already unlocked.

00:05:31.170 --> 00:05:33.107
They're usually five years plus.

00:05:33.107 --> 00:05:35.228
They're a veteran in service and electrical.

00:05:35.228 --> 00:05:38.439
Sometimes they're still charging by the hour, though.

00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:54.432
Sometimes there are just fundamental issues with the way that they execute in their value transactions every day, and at this point they usually have great branding and a team built around it and great morals, great values, great vision, great respect amongst the ranks.

00:05:54.432 --> 00:06:04.132
It's harder to move these guys because there's an existing culture and a team that's already built around that greatness that they already have.

00:06:04.132 --> 00:06:12.726
So we just aim to be the leverage in those groups, just to give them a couple things that can rise them up.

00:06:12.726 --> 00:06:17.411
And the good news for them is it doesn't take much when you have such a strong multiplier.

00:06:17.411 --> 00:06:23.903
A couple little areas just unlock massive gains for them, and usually in the form of profitability.

00:06:25.346 --> 00:06:29.798
Now, what do they want to accomplish in the area where you're an expert?

00:06:30.584 --> 00:06:40.620
From data standpoint, the most popular value piece lead magnet discussion, and it's the first thing we do at any level of person that comes to us is simple pricing.

00:06:40.620 --> 00:06:43.334
It's one of the biggest pains that contractors have.

00:06:43.334 --> 00:06:45.211
We're all in a race to the bottom.

00:06:45.211 --> 00:06:47.572
There's all these new entrants to the market.

00:06:47.572 --> 00:06:53.975
They don't understand value and so value to them is oh, I got this job potential in front of me.

00:06:53.975 --> 00:06:55.237
How do I price it?

00:06:55.237 --> 00:06:57.290
So I get the job for sure, cause I need it.

00:06:57.290 --> 00:07:01.447
I'll just charge a little bit less and I'll do a little bit more.

00:07:01.447 --> 00:07:02.610
That's value, right?

00:07:02.610 --> 00:07:06.418
Yeah, charge a little bit less, do a little bit more.

00:07:06.826 --> 00:07:18.372
As a result, the rest of us, who are never trained in value articulation or what it's like to create value for a customer, we lose confidence in the things because we don't actually have a clarity.

00:07:18.372 --> 00:07:27.156
We don't have the clarity of purpose in that to be able to confidently execute against that race to the bottom, going against the grain, so to speak.

00:07:27.156 --> 00:07:37.908
So what our pricing process does is shows them again, reminds them hey, these are your costs and this is the cost of growth for you and here's what your materials are in there.

00:07:37.908 --> 00:07:47.076
And here's a simple way to actually set up flat rate pricing and be able to execute with confidence against your own what we call price shock.

00:07:47.076 --> 00:07:58.511
So they want to accomplish pricing that's actually sustainable and they want to escape all the fear and scarcity that's inherent within that for the rejection they might face.

00:07:59.052 --> 00:08:00.336
Let's talk about your perspective.

00:08:00.336 --> 00:08:04.351
Get frustrated for a moment and rant about the problem.

00:08:04.351 --> 00:08:11.367
When they want to achieve the goals of more sales, more guys, and they feel challenged or run into barriers.

00:08:11.367 --> 00:08:13.716
What do you see happening?

00:08:14.685 --> 00:08:21.230
One of the biggest things it's the most cringeworthy expressions that I'm sure you and I can relate to is time management.

00:08:21.230 --> 00:08:32.831
In my journey, it's the last thing I ever wanted to pick up a book on and actually read about and learn, and yet it's the single most impactful piece of the entire journey.

00:08:32.831 --> 00:08:40.898
If I can do more of the things that support our growth and do less of the things that hinder it, what would happen then?

00:08:40.898 --> 00:08:43.606
There's a parallel I feel compelled to say.

00:08:43.606 --> 00:08:45.753
I'm sure it'll sit in an email somewhere one day.

00:08:45.753 --> 00:08:47.417
I had a mentor teach me.

00:08:47.417 --> 00:08:50.005
He said Clay, what's the biggest expense in your life?

00:08:50.005 --> 00:08:51.530
And I said a mortgage.

00:08:51.530 --> 00:08:52.654
Most people do.

00:08:52.654 --> 00:08:53.859
And he said tax.

00:08:53.859 --> 00:08:56.908
The next thing, the next question he asked me, blew me away.

00:08:56.908 --> 00:08:58.010
It was profound.

00:08:58.010 --> 00:09:00.557
He said and how much do you know about it?

00:09:00.557 --> 00:09:02.626
Time management's kind of like that.

00:09:02.626 --> 00:09:04.789
We all want a 25th hour.

00:09:04.789 --> 00:09:06.413
We could all agree, right?

00:09:06.413 --> 00:09:08.777
If I asked a room of 10, of 10 000 people.

00:09:08.777 --> 00:09:17.798
Hey guys, you ever think how much more productive you would be with one more hour a day, like if we could just get a 25 hour day?

00:09:17.798 --> 00:09:19.248
Things would be a lot better, right?

00:09:19.248 --> 00:09:24.289
That honey do list would come down, that extra work that's waiting for tomorrow morning would drop off.

00:09:24.289 --> 00:09:29.307
Yep, time management's the last thing we want to talk about, because it starts with us and accountability.

00:09:29.307 --> 00:09:31.089
So that's a massive piece.

00:09:31.730 --> 00:09:37.754
Competition the race to the bottom is a figment of our imagination.

00:09:37.754 --> 00:09:40.256
There is no competition, there's only creation.

00:09:40.256 --> 00:09:47.292
I never understood that and it used to piss me off when my mentors would say it, but it's the truth and we talked about this, ninja cooler earlier.

00:09:47.292 --> 00:09:48.254
That's the example.

00:09:48.254 --> 00:09:56.995
When everyone else is just playing by the social norm rules, the things we accept as truth, usually all we are is just a pivot away like go golfing.

00:09:56.995 --> 00:10:00.130
Think to yourself for a minute, really evaluate this.

00:10:00.130 --> 00:10:09.652
With a community like we have, we're challenging those social norms all the time to just say what do our customers actually want and why aren't we giving that to them?

00:10:11.666 --> 00:10:17.129
Most people see the limits in that, as if how can I compete when everyone's out here charging 80 bucks an hour?

00:10:17.129 --> 00:10:18.274
Well, guess what?

00:10:18.274 --> 00:10:23.033
10 years ago the guy said, how can I compete when they're charging $40 an hour?

00:10:23.033 --> 00:10:31.753
But in every market along the way people have emerged and in every market along the way, those little guys have turned to big guys and said how do you charge 300 an hour.

00:10:31.753 --> 00:10:34.378
How do you charge five 600 an hour?

00:10:34.378 --> 00:10:37.772
People say I get too many price objections.

00:10:37.772 --> 00:10:40.238
I say why don't you believe in your pricing?

00:10:40.238 --> 00:10:42.791
Right, the objection you get is the one you brought with you.

00:10:42.791 --> 00:10:47.370
People don't get selected, right, so email it over.

00:10:48.251 --> 00:10:54.812
There's so many contractors that go out there and they just spray and pray, spray and pray, spray and pray, spray and pray.

00:10:54.812 --> 00:10:56.155
What does that mean?

00:10:56.155 --> 00:10:58.469
That means all my hard-earned leads.

00:10:58.469 --> 00:11:05.092
We talked about this in the podcast, right, I've hard-earned leads, these chicks that I'm supposed to be supporting and turning into plump chickens.

00:11:05.092 --> 00:11:09.499
What I actually did was give them a very short piece of me.

00:11:09.499 --> 00:11:12.352
Even if you had an office person, they talked to the office person.

00:11:12.352 --> 00:11:13.798
They scheduled the appointment.

00:11:13.798 --> 00:11:15.768
No one communicated in between.

00:11:15.768 --> 00:11:17.173
This is the common case, right?

00:11:17.173 --> 00:11:22.691
I went there and in as short a timeframe as possible, because it's a little uncomfortable to linger.

00:11:22.691 --> 00:11:24.897
In as short a timeframe as possible.

00:11:24.897 --> 00:11:31.538
I aimed to estimate present and leave, and a lot of times that leads to me not being done there.

00:11:31.538 --> 00:11:33.010
So I just say I'll email it over.

00:11:33.010 --> 00:11:35.552
I'd hate to impose on your schedule, right?

00:11:35.552 --> 00:11:41.017
Let me ask you a question Like how many of your friends have met the love of their lives through speed dating?

00:11:44.649 --> 00:11:46.014
I literally know a single person.

00:11:47.086 --> 00:11:48.451
Like it didn't work, guys.

00:11:48.451 --> 00:11:50.761
Speed dating gives attraction only you.

00:11:50.761 --> 00:11:50.828
It didn't work, guys.

00:11:50.828 --> 00:11:51.678
Speed dating gives attraction only you.

00:11:51.678 --> 00:11:53.400
Don't build relationships and speed dating.

00:11:53.400 --> 00:11:54.902
Why would you treat clients that way?

00:11:54.902 --> 00:12:01.999
If you want to have more sales and treat each lead better, you have to spend more time with them.

00:12:03.027 --> 00:12:05.572
I got one more example for you that ties perfectly into this.

00:12:05.572 --> 00:12:12.772
We teach something called a two-call close, and if someone's listening to this someday, I hope that they pull this out of the rubble.

00:12:12.772 --> 00:12:21.553
I hope this falls like Rome and one day they're going to find my journal that's in cursive and they won't be able to read it because it's not a writing style they recognize.

00:12:21.553 --> 00:12:25.326
I hope they find this recording and I hope they listen to this man.

00:12:25.326 --> 00:12:30.418
Not only do we go there twice, sometimes we'll go three times and guess what?

00:12:30.418 --> 00:12:34.615
We'll do it for free and I'll say something like this on that third visit.

00:12:34.615 --> 00:12:36.967
Second visit actually is where you'll hear this the first time.

00:12:36.967 --> 00:12:53.813
If we're not clearly the best choice for you and your requirements on this project, I'm going to ball my presentation up, throw it against the wall and help you choose from the other quotes that you receive to make sure that you do get the best fit for your project.

00:12:54.515 --> 00:12:55.357
Electricians always go.

00:12:55.357 --> 00:12:56.167
Why would you do that?

00:12:56.167 --> 00:13:05.258
And I go, because I'm not here to sell electrical, I'm here to build a relationship, a relationship that we earned through our hard-earned efforts and time and money.

00:13:05.258 --> 00:13:06.466
Right.

00:13:06.466 --> 00:13:09.072
Time and money, those are the biggest expenses we have.

00:13:09.072 --> 00:13:11.457
That's where these prospects come from.

00:13:11.457 --> 00:13:25.496
And if that contractor that they select or I help them select, even if they go that route messes up, guess who they're going to call, even if they choose the cheap one, are they going to get the same level of experience?

00:13:25.496 --> 00:13:28.749
No fucking way, not a chance.

00:13:28.749 --> 00:13:36.015
Right, in fact, in our objection handles hey, I'll match their price when they match our level of quality, safety and communication.

00:13:36.015 --> 00:13:37.485
There's no chance.

00:13:37.485 --> 00:13:40.274
So even if they did that job with them, isn't there still a chance?

00:13:40.274 --> 00:13:45.034
They call you for the next one when they match our level of quality, safety and communication.

00:13:45.034 --> 00:13:46.337
Right, service loop.

00:13:46.445 --> 00:13:49.693
Electrical service loop literally means it's actually a double entendre.

00:13:49.693 --> 00:13:54.527
A service loop is a little extra bit of wire you leave in the box for future serviceability.

00:13:54.527 --> 00:13:57.053
But it's a double entendre, as we say in Canada, at least.

00:13:57.053 --> 00:13:58.768
That's French means it has a double meaning.

00:13:58.768 --> 00:14:05.091
It also means hey, in service, we're going to do that little bit extra for future serviceability.

00:14:05.491 --> 00:14:08.881
I don't want today's transaction, I want the long game with you.

00:14:08.881 --> 00:14:11.610
I want to nurture you like a member of my own family.

00:14:11.610 --> 00:14:15.022
As a result, I will go there three times free.

00:14:15.022 --> 00:14:17.207
I will go there four times if need be.

00:14:17.207 --> 00:14:19.374
Guy says when should I stop going for free?

00:14:19.374 --> 00:14:21.645
When they say no, I'd rather part as friends.

00:14:21.645 --> 00:14:32.321
Right until then, I'm supporting them because some of these lifetime client relationships end up being worth six figures, not five, not four, not three.

00:14:33.765 --> 00:14:39.918
Guy in DMs yesterday says to one of my setters industrial background this resi is kind of shitty man.

00:14:39.918 --> 00:14:41.548
You know those small tickets.

00:14:41.548 --> 00:14:42.530
Two 300 bucks.

00:14:42.530 --> 00:14:46.010
You know what I do, know that pain.

00:14:46.010 --> 00:14:56.971
What we do is we don't service the GFI, we service the customer and, as a result, it always takes 45 to 60 minutes.

00:14:56.971 --> 00:15:02.147
As a result, we always identify all of their needs, desires and problems.

00:15:02.147 --> 00:15:15.756
As a result, we always create six options that speak to those with because frames to each and, as a result, our average ticket on those small calls is north of $2,000, not under 500.

00:15:15.756 --> 00:15:18.673
But it comes from consistent service.

00:15:18.673 --> 00:15:24.527
So there's a challenge we know very well there's.

00:15:24.527 --> 00:15:27.533
There's three types of service providers.

00:15:27.533 --> 00:15:32.768
This actually transcends electrical, mr fix it, mr sales and mr service.

00:15:32.768 --> 00:15:33.830
Two are wrong.

00:15:33.830 --> 00:15:37.903
Mr fix it, mr sales, mr service, which two?

00:15:37.903 --> 00:15:38.884
Which two are wrong?

00:15:39.505 --> 00:15:51.024
fix it and sales yeah, mr fix, it actually has the best intentions for that person, but he approaches them with his own buyer mentality and, as a result, they're vastly underserved.

00:15:51.024 --> 00:15:54.767
He values rush in, rush out, charge as little as possible.

00:15:54.767 --> 00:15:57.308
That should be his flaw, not the customer's.

00:15:57.308 --> 00:16:05.894
The way that we present gives customers the choice to be the kind of buyer they want to be and experience exceptional service, no matter what they choose.

00:16:05.894 --> 00:16:09.716
As a result, we always say that's a great choice.

00:16:09.716 --> 00:16:11.238
We don't swing for the fences.

00:16:11.238 --> 00:16:12.623
I don't want people to push platinums.

00:16:12.623 --> 00:16:23.203
I want you to draw up platinums so they know what you can do in the future and you can follow them up and send wonderful email marketing messages about those choices in the future.

00:16:23.203 --> 00:16:28.985
But I'm happy with a basic sale today because either way, that's a great choice.

00:16:28.985 --> 00:16:32.860
Mr Sales, of course that's the guy that's just in for the objection game.

00:16:32.860 --> 00:16:36.533
He wants as big a sale in the shortest timeframe possible.

00:16:37.015 --> 00:17:01.874
What people don't understand is all of us every single one of us open our eyes in the morning and close our eyes at night, and between night and morning we dream of all the things we could have in our lives the things we could touch, we could hold, we could buy we could experience, and in all the hours of the day, we all rest with unspoken, subconscious objections.

00:17:01.874 --> 00:17:03.706
And I've got proof of this.

00:17:03.706 --> 00:17:16.806
The ratio of ads to organic content on social media, which all of us peruse in 2025, unless you're 90, the ratio is between two and four to one ads to organic content.

00:17:16.806 --> 00:17:23.586
What that means is you're exposed to hundreds, if not thousands, of on target, mind you ads every single day.

00:17:23.586 --> 00:17:25.349
This is the crazy part.

00:17:25.349 --> 00:17:37.290
If you've ever said to a friend I think my phone is listening to me because I just talked about this the other day and now I'm seeing Kias everywhere oh my God, it's showing you what you want.

00:17:37.290 --> 00:17:38.921
How are you not buying it?

00:17:38.921 --> 00:17:46.674
It's because you woke up today with the objections already in your mind and you don't even recognize this.

00:17:46.674 --> 00:17:55.306
You're living your days perusing past ads, deciding what to listen to, what not to listen to, and you're starting with an objection.

00:17:55.306 --> 00:17:56.971
Why is that important?

00:17:56.971 --> 00:17:59.387
Because your customers have it too.

00:17:59.387 --> 00:18:00.781
It's not.

00:18:00.781 --> 00:18:01.685
Will they object?

00:18:01.685 --> 00:18:03.606
They're fucking objecting.

00:18:03.606 --> 00:18:05.487
There is an objection.

00:18:05.619 --> 00:18:12.342
Your job is to build a relationship adequate enough to learn what their objection is specifically, so that you can actually help this person.

00:18:12.342 --> 00:18:23.394
Take something off the honey-do list and put it onto your list so they can be served, and I promise you, if you do that, they will feel lighter, their relationship will improve.

00:18:23.394 --> 00:18:29.566
It will be handled in a professional manner where you can actually now have an impact on their life.

00:18:29.566 --> 00:18:35.603
We all have a preconceived notion about what value is.

00:18:35.603 --> 00:18:37.547
This is the tax thing, though.

00:18:37.547 --> 00:18:39.992
Right Like what's the biggest price you pay in your life?

00:18:39.992 --> 00:18:41.142
He said tax.

00:18:41.142 --> 00:18:43.326
I actually challenged that.

00:18:43.326 --> 00:18:44.489
My mentor said that to me.

00:18:44.489 --> 00:18:51.915
I would say the biggest price you pay in your life is not understanding how to create value, not having a framework for it.

00:18:52.698 --> 00:18:56.692
Not knowing if you could create value, what would stop you then?

00:18:56.692 --> 00:18:58.258
I don't know if you're like this.

00:18:58.258 --> 00:18:59.962
Anyone ever listens to this again.

00:18:59.962 --> 00:19:09.121
I hope you find this and you question this thing Every aha moment in my life, I've noticed gave me a framework to actually see through, a lens to look through to.

00:19:09.121 --> 00:19:09.865
All of a sudden go.

00:19:09.865 --> 00:19:13.006
Oh okay, those are the things that make up this great recipe.

00:19:13.006 --> 00:19:19.150
Our ideology around what makes value is flawed because there's no framework for it.

00:19:19.150 --> 00:19:23.846
Again, we just think I'll charge a little bit less and do a little bit more.

00:19:23.846 --> 00:19:26.626
How long till you're out of money?

00:19:26.626 --> 00:19:28.884
And just a big, long to-do list.

00:19:29.526 --> 00:19:32.411
I always liken it to holes in the boat.

00:19:32.411 --> 00:19:36.022
You're at the marina, your boat's on the dock.

00:19:36.022 --> 00:19:38.086
You know there's holes in it.

00:19:38.086 --> 00:19:38.949
You know.

00:19:38.949 --> 00:19:46.361
You know you don't know things right, like when you go off on this mission, when you start a company, you know you don't know it all.

00:19:46.361 --> 00:19:49.768
Everyone knows there's stuff to learn.

00:19:51.551 --> 00:20:00.300
I'm telling you this exact thing is a boat that should not be out in the bay, but we see all those other boats out there and we think we understand what they're doing.

00:20:00.300 --> 00:20:06.507
So we go out anyway with holes in the boat, but what you see is you end up, metaphorically, spending more time bailing water trying to figure out what's holes in the boat.

00:20:06.507 --> 00:20:10.191
But what you see is you end up, metaphorically, spending more time bailing water trying to figure out what's wrong with the boat.

00:20:10.191 --> 00:20:30.387
It's all the things you don't know, you don't understand, you have no framework for developing the value to actually be able to create a consistent transaction and, unfortunately, the further we go out in the bay, the more pride interferes with our ability to get help and understand this thing.

00:20:31.090 --> 00:20:41.074
So, as my mentor, jim Rohn said, we're going to suffer one of two disciplines, one of two pains the pain of discipline or the pain of regret.

00:20:41.074 --> 00:20:44.349
The discipline side fixes the holes in the boat first.

00:20:44.349 --> 00:20:51.320
Yeah, we go learn some stuff, even if we're going to go out there, let's stay close to the dock, let's figure out the holes, let's fix this stuff.

00:20:51.320 --> 00:21:05.933
Now, yeah, our education system doesn't promote this kind of learning yet it's changing because, as you see now, the, the z gens and beyond don't even know what they're calling them now, like ZYX maybe.

00:21:05.933 --> 00:21:11.813
Whatever we're at, you're seeing more and more kids become millionaires by 20, 21 years old.

00:21:11.813 --> 00:21:19.792
That's because of influencers and non-academic education from people like Hormozy.

00:21:19.792 --> 00:21:24.660
That's because you don't have to go to university to understand what value is and solve a problem.

00:21:24.660 --> 00:21:29.259
And that's a wrap for today's episode of the Million Dollar Electrician Podcast.

00:21:29.621 --> 00:21:34.071
