from the art of the deal to keeping it real live from the simply vegas studios it's the power move with john gafford back again back again back again boys welcome to the power move my name is john gafford i'm your host to my left as always with a little more attitude than you normally get today. It's the Bulgarian mongoose Colt Abedin. Colt. I think you're taking Chris's

attitude. No. And then already objecting to everything we say. Chris the Calcercano. We're coming in hot. Sitting on the. Yes.

This is why you know there's days we do the show when we probably shouldn't start talking before because we get all riled up just about the general sitting on the camera yes this is why you know there's days we do the show when we probably shouldn't start talking before because we get all riled up just about the general malaise of what's happening in the world it's not even the malaise it's the intentional behavior it's the intention but you know before i get started i do want to say something which is this which is i got a text over the weekend which i was a little disheartened about and And I sent it to you guys, and I think you saw it. Christy Alley? No, no, no.

71 years old. No, no, it wasn't Christy Alley. It was this one. It was this text right here. It said, morning, sir. Wanted to share with you that yesterday morning dropping my son off at school. And when we arrived, he says, dad, why didn't we listen to the power move like we always do every Wednesday? I thought it was pretty cool just him saying that.

And we tried to listen this morning to make up for yesterday. But we still didn't have a new episode. You know, I wish you could buy stock in people. That kid's going play. I wish I could buy early futures. He is. So, Alberto, to you and your son, this episode today is dedicated 100% to you. And honestly, if there's going to be – look, I'm a person that takes it right on the chin when I unperform.

And I'm going to tell you right now, if your son was upset last week with us not doing an episode, let's lay the blame 100% where it should be, and that's on Connell. That's me. Yeah, Connellnell who had a apparently someone's legal needs were more important than helping the kids well i thought you were in columbia no i was in columbia the week before that yeah yeah columbia but what'd you what'd you catch in columbia a black fin tuna okay sorry you have all the things there's apparently there's a lot you could catch in in my defense in my defense every time i go to a country because i like to travel alone yeah sure it's not a problem people that don't travel alone don't learn a lot about themselves and what they

want to do on their own and what they don't you know because you're not going to go to nightclubs this is when you go to museums and you enjoy your time there i went through you know old places and did a lot of stuff on my own it was in bed bed by 10, nine, you know, anyway, I didn't realize that that part of the world was as notorious or as, uh, I don't know, known for that certain thing. So me as a single dude, I feel like he's painting himself into a corner right now. And he's making it sound real nice come on you don't know that yeah i had no idea that it was it was anyway so so where i was staying i was 70 meters from this really cool bar where i watched american football like two days ago meters how far we don't speak your meter business 230 feet 230 230 feet. 230 feet. Anyways, right by there, I'd walk over there, have some beers, watch football.

It was amazing. Do my thing during the day. But you'd walk out into that square at night, and holy shakies. It was. Was it just throngs of prostitutes? It was go time. I was just like, oh, my God. Well, it's not something I want to be around.

Not because people have different experiences, and I feel bad for people that are maybe in that position that don't want to be. Well, here's the deal. I think as grown men, we all have a couple of friends. And we'll leave it at that. Yes. And based on countries that they like to visit, I can pretty much tell you what's going on in those countries. And I got a couple of friends that, uh, let me backtrack that statement. I've got a couple of acquaintances that, uh, frequent Columbia with regular, at least they seem to on Instagram. They're there all the time, uh, buried in

scantily clad women on their Instagram. And, uh, let's face it. Uh, there, there's no doubt in my mind that there's some financial, uh, there's, there in my mind that there's some financial, there's some help. Something is changing hands there. I'd like to go on the record. I am pro-legal prostitution as an attorney. I think that healthcare follows it. I think that it's, I don't know why it's a service that's precluded from people transacting.

I think that women are subject to problems when there's a black market for something. They're the ones that face the consequences. That's here. I am not sure that in colombia it's going to be uh ever uh terribly egalitarian uh profession even if legalized ever there well let's move from prostitution to what we're going to talk about today which is procrastination nothing to talk about that i don't know what you're talking about it's procrastination if we're going to talk if you are someone that always says it was prostitution procrastination it sounds close but if you are somebody that that you know constantly yeah yeah tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow can everything get things done we're going to talk about that today in detail and some give you

some tips and tricks on how you can stop procrastinating. But it's funny. I'm sure everybody's – I'm not just going to skip by it. People want to know what got us riled up on the way in here, which was. And so we are – I'll tell you what got me riled up. I started all this stuff. And if you live in Vegas, maybe it's everywhere. Maybe it's big cities, whatever it is. But there's an attitude that comes with the people that work at large nightclubs that wear suits bought for them by those nightclubs like that's pretty much

my dividing line if your suit was bought for you by the nightclub going kind of right in the asshole category pretty much it's a quantum leap into it and we're throwing our christmas party at a very large well-known well-known nightclub here in town, like we have every year. Like, I've done this, like, this is not my first rodeo with doing a buyout on a nightclub for all of our people.

Different one, though. Different one. Yeah, every time it's different. Every year it's different. I don't want to impugn the one we were at last year. And, dude, normally it's great. It's a wonderful experience. It's awesome.

Everybody's happy. Life is good. And this year, for some reason, I just, some things happened that we were getting nickel and dimed on the tail end of things that are assumed that you would have, or we've always had at other places.

And all of a sudden, they want to charge us for them. So I had to kind of call and voice my displeasure and explain why we weren't going to do that and why they were going to do it anyway. And I found myself talking to someone and it was very reminiscent of having a conversation that you would see outside of a nightclub at 1230 at night where there's a guy with a clipboard and some dude in a striped shirt that just left his room with three other guys from Iowa with his Bud Light in his hand trying to him that I was not that guy. He was not going to talk to me like that. And after I talked to his boss, I actually said, who's that guy? And he said,

well, he's the one in charge of your party. I said, no, no, he was the one in charge of my party. I do not want him at my party. So yeah, I mean, I think it just goes back and we talk about this a lot, which is from COVID, I think service or the willingness, you know, I preach this to our agents all the time, to our realtors. Since COVID, the level of expectation of good service is so low, it's so low that it's really easy if you are in a service-based industry as we are to exceed expectations. It's so easy to do because I just- Show up. Yeah, pretty much.

Just be nice. Just be empathetic. Put yourself in their situations and make a genuine, honest attempt to understand the problems of your customers. And it just seems like anywhere you go anymore, they don't. They're doing you a favor by being there.

Yes? Absolutely. What were the stores you were highlighting, Chris, earlier with Vitriol? What were they? You can name them now. What were they? So I don't want to besmirch the lovely reputations of any, you know, of Parisian leather makers.

It's that time of year. It is. So my wife, thankfully, is one of those people that always needs a new purse or should not spendy. So at Christmas time, I usually go and get those people that always needs a new purse. She's not spendy. So at Christmas time, I usually go and get her a couple of nice things. Sure. It's usually more my idea than hers. I don't think she cares that much.

Well, it's easier. Let's be honest. It's easier. It's easier. Let's be honest. So you go into a store and you're just looking like, I bought here before. Now you have to make reservations with some of them. And they'll take you with a personal shopper, which I't like i don't like to be bothered i like to go

and make my own decisions independent yeah i don't want to have someone staring at me while i look at a price tag and like laugh to myself is that like is it when you go to a store do you have that like that you don't even think about it's a gut reaction if you're just waiting for them to get close enough to you so you can just say i'm just looking i'm just looking yeah absolutely yeah like they can walk up and say like it's's a fence. Sir, you're our millionth customer. Here's $10,000. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Well, you know what's funny about that?

Not to take you off your subject, but I tell people that all the time when they're making phone calls, when you're making outbound calls. When you ask, when you start a phone call, a sales call with this phrase, no, when you start with this phrase,

is this Bill? Hey, Bill, how are you doing today? Fuck off. People are so programmed for that to be a fucking sales call that they immediately tune you out. If you are starting any sales call with that stop, and it's the same way in stores when they walk up, they're just waiting to say, I'm just looking. How are you doing today? You're just going to get, I'm just looking for anybody ever called. Don't do that. I mean, sorry, back to you. A hundred percent. No, that is a great piece of advice. But you walk into these stores, these retail outlets, and when you're getting Bobby Big Wheel,

that nightclub in Las Vegas, you go, okay, well, on a Friday night, you do have that power. Yeah. You are the gatekeeper. You probably have people kissing your kneecaps, doing all that stuff. Sure. Because you're the gatekeeper to what men perceive

who are not from here to being Shangri-La of all this available opposite sex or same sex or whatever. They could just go to Columbia. Oh, my God. Same price. Same price. Cheaper in Columbia. But would you look in the mirror after and be proud of your efforts? No.

No. No. No. That's the camera changes. John and I have been in a bar one time in Dubai where we were unaware of John failed to look at TripAdvisor until after we left. Yes. Disco tech for prostitutes. And we both just like, you know, I don't mind traveling with John because I know he's not going to put me in a situation where I'm, you know, surrounded in that situation again. Well, I thought we were going to lose a kidney.

It's not something I want to be around anyway. So if, so if I'm in a retail store and I'm in front of a clerk, and bless you, whatever you do for a profession, I'm not diminishing it. I'm not besmirching it. Not everybody needs to be a rocket scientist or a doctor or whatever. But if I walk in there and you give me attitude and you're a retail clerk, I just wonder what makes you think. Because the people you're around coming to buy from you are wealthy or whatever and you can tell who's actually got money or whatever but do you ever after your shift go

home and look at your own bank account but no but i'm not on that person's team hang on a second i'm gonna defend for one second these people not that they should be defensive defensible but at one point my wife's aunt was the manager at chanel at the win right and the reason that aunt was the manager at Chanel at the Wynn. Right? And the reason that she was the manager is because none of the people that worked there wanted to be the manager. Right. Because they wanted to be in sales. Because they all made five times the money she made.

I mean, you got to remember, look at Joey when he used to work at Barney's and those Saudi princesses walk in and drop gazillions of dollars in the Herbie's bag. They make good money. You work in the right place. You make good money. They can make okay money. But first off, Joey did it smart by doing that himself. Yeah. Barney's is making the money.

Let's say you make a 5% rip on something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like there's an opportunity to make a bit more money, but you're not buying your own bags. Yeah, that's true. You're not walking in and buying out the store yourself. So don't look at others, especially if you're working as your representative. I want you to be completely understanding that maybe not everybody's comfortable buying a $5,000 purse. But you know what makes it worse?

Cult story actually makes it worse. Right? Your story. Because you were in a place that notoriously has treated us poorly. We won't name the name, but they have repeatedly treated us poorly. And then tell the story. You're in there with who yesterday? Uh, with some pretty big people around the, uh, around the world, around the banking world. And then when the GM finds out who they are, what happens? Really nice of him.

Then he turns and sees me and was like, Colt, how you been? Blah, blah, blah. I haven't seen you forever since another place. Anytime you need to come in, treat us good. I'm like, dude, really? Like, really? We've sat again. But it's ran by certain type of people, right?

And they just treat you like shit. Well, it sucked because it makes it worse because now you're with these guys that are super high dollar. All of a sudden, now you're somebody we need to know and take care of. That makes it worse. Like, if you're going to treat me like shit,

be consistent. Yeah, treat me like shit always. Just be Michael Jordan. Every time they treat us like shit, just be mad at everybody. Yeah, be the soup Nazi, right? Be the soup Nazii right like for example we were talking about the magic because my daughter marched in the henderson which don't

get me started the henderson downtown christmas parade city of henderson needs to let go of let's make downtown something just move your parades to green valley going right down say avert a water street move it down get off a water street forget let to Water Street. Move it down. Get off of Water Street. Let it go. Let it go. It is terrible. Like, you look at what they're doing in downtown Summerlin. It's amazing, right?

And then you go down there, and it's like, as soon as we parked the car, there was a dude looking like he was methed out right next to me. I'm like, this is a disaster. Anyway, I digress. But the point being is, as I was down there, I was remembering the wonderment that was Hot Dog Heaven. Did you ever go to the hot dog heaven? No hot dog. Heaven was a stand that was there forever on the corner where that bank is. Now they got made the stand go because he sold the land, but it was just like

a little hut. Right. And the dude that worked there, there's two things you could count on. Number one, a delicious hot dog. And number two, this dude was angry to be alive. I mean, if you tried to pay, God help you, you didn't have exact change. If he had to make change and make a hot dog, you were going to hear about it. But it was consistency. He was, yeah. And him being kind of a dick kind of made the magic of the place. It's so funny because you say the consistency. That is so true.

Don't be nice to me certain times and an asshole. If you're an asshole, you're an asshole. Pick a language. That's the consistency. That is so true. Don't be nice to me certain times and then asshole. If you're an asshole, you're an asshole. Pickle ass. That's an authenticity issue. Pickle ass. No, it really is. You know who's authentic and happy all the time and sells the best food out of a cart but is happy?

Mr. Okra in New Orleans. Mr. Okra in New Orleans? There's a Mr. Okra chain you can buy where you hit the button and it sings the songs he sings. I don't even what you're talking about john i don't think you've been i spent so much time i don't know what this is i think all these mardi gras praise you've been in those years i don't think you've ever left burman no although i will i barely go to burman street thank you very much but you know what talking about being consistent segue in today's topic which is procrastination.

Bam! Finally got there. Yeah, dude, we finally got there. That's not bad. That was only 15 minutes in. We're going to talk about it. I'm shocked we didn't talk about Kanye. Last time we talked to him,

he was canceled, and then he's getting more canceled. John said soup Nazi, and I got really excited. I'm like, oh. Yeah, right? No, I mean, yeah, I don't think you can get any more canceled. Who gave him a platform talk the last week?

Dude, the guy. We did. No, no, no alex jones like if he made alex jones look like the voice of reason and phil donahue he's the voice of reason it made no it was it was crazy but i love talking about procrastination especially this time of year i get around to doing it i know this time exactly you know no you know why you know why i love doing it because i will say if i had to put a number on it in our industry in the real estate industry 85 of agents have already quit for the rest of the year is that number higher are you taking over under on that colt oh i would say over under on 85

i've already hung it up for the rest of the year. I would say you're right there. On December, what is it, the 5th of the day? Man. Hung it up. Done. Yeah, they hung it up. So what are they doing? Just hanging out? No, I'll tell you what they're doing.

They're getting ready for January 1st. It's the reason why the gym is dead on December 31st and packed on January 1st. Because it all boils down to the same thing. It's not waiting for a date to start your goals. It's all procrastination. It all is. All of it is just you screwing around and it's the lies you tell yourself

that are holding you back from being successful. You're throwing out 17% of your years out the window. I love the gym in December. Dude, it's great. It's quiet. So the first thing I want to talk in December. Dude, it's great. It's quiet. So the first, the first thing I want to talk about that I think leads to procrastination or leads to you, your lack of success. And I think there's a huge group of them out there that do this,

which is you need to be careful of the labels that you apply to yourself. And right now we have a whole generation of humans that use the phrase millennial is some kind of crutch for terrible non-motivated behavior well you know i'm a millennial so i don't need to know how much work this is going to take well i'm a millennial so this and that i have heard that talking to people so much it's crazy and it's like you don't have to be anything. You're choosing to put yourself, like the fact that you were born a certain year doesn't mean that you can't brokard. That is so Sagittarius of you to say.

It is, it is, it is. Well, my moon's rising, so there's that. No, but people, and again, I love that too. Let's look at horoscopes. Years and years. I'm so Libra. No, years and years and again, I love that too. Let's look at horoscopes. Years and years. I'm so Libra. Years, no, no, years and years and years ago, right? I used to, at Jumpstart, pre-shift at a restaurant that I used to work.

It was all women that were servers. And we would have, that was a game we'd play. Horoscope, not your horoscope. Because I would prove to them that horoscopes are bullshit. And I would say like, what's your horoscope? And they'd be like, I'm Aries. And I'd be like, okay. And I would just pick one randomly and read it.

Like, okay, here's your horoscope. Highly intuitive be like, I'm Aries. And I'd be like, okay. And I would just pick one randomly and read it. Like, okay, here's your horoscope. Highly intuitive. Exactly. Today. Yeah, exactly. Just read whatever. And they'd be like, oh my God, that's so me. No, not your horoscope.

Pisces, are you Pisces? Yes, not you. Because they all apply to you if you read them that way. That's the point. So be careful labeling yourself as an excuse for not to get shit done. Yeah, I actually have a hard time not labeling myself i try to work on it i try to stay conscious of it i'm not i'm not my job you know it is kind

of weird i got to be honest it is funny because as much as canada and america are very similar it's kind of weird i've been here 15 years right so when the national anthem's on i'm holding my hat by my heart you think we'd get some effort out of you by now oh no you get max effort metric system already once hey hey jesus i'm not gonna mention tax returns about this country but america should be happy to have me here that's a good point you're welcome that's a good thing you're welcome it's a good point i mean i haven't taken from it i've added to it you've added to it what do you mean you're labeling yourself as a lawyer journey no i don't know but just to look at everything like i was talking to a really good friend of mine last night we had every you know quarter

we have a long conversation brilliant brilliant guy um he doesn't watch this show wait wait so how smart could he be you have friends outside of me and Colt? I have acquaintances. Were you aware of this? I was not aware of this. The Colombian acquaintances. The people that you know that go to Colombia. I was not aware of this. I was talking to him last night. We were just talking about different businesses

because he's made huge pivots in his life because he was somebody that was so hyper successful and precocious about certain things that's not that big of a word and he last time you've heard somebody use it precocious but he was not i have not heard somebody use that prematurely advanced for it's not it's not an ostentatious oh i'm not saying it is but i'm saying just who throws that out. It's what he was.

I mean, he's just like, you know, kind of a bit of a doogie house or kind of guy. And he was smart enough to pivot off it because he saw through some of the things and it wasn't going the way that it would go if he was a different person. You know, I see a lot of people that have certain businesses that are successful. It's because either they're too dumb to realize they shouldn't be in that business and they just survive or they lie to people. When you talk about certain kinds of industries, there's financial, there's real estate, there are industries where people that are unscrupulous

can actually do a lot of damage by being persuasive or being so bullish that they'll kind of take weaker personalities over and run over people. So that doesn't mean you should be doing the job or that you're good at it. It just means that no one stopped you yet. Well, I think a lot of that too has to do with familiarity. You just get stuck in what you do. I mean, case in point, I, uh, my tax, my tax bill came back for this year and it was egregious. I mean, and, um, God bless my CPA is a nice guy, but he's, you know, one step away. There's no aggressive plan being laid out from this. You and me both. So I put out to my network of very, very high net worth people that I know.

And I said, I need an aggressive guy. That's going to put me on a better plan. And not just Me I don't want to do no no no no There's things I'm not doing I want to take advantage of the tax code every way that I want to take I want to I want To play by the rules that I want to know the rules to play 100% I want a Bella check 100% and I and I talked to this guy on Saturday for probably an hour I had a conversation with this guy He's a CPA in Memphis who is now my newpa and we just walk through so much stuff that i'm

just doing completely wrong he's like you are literally like the way he looked at my tax insurance he's like bro you might as well just go into h&r block like you're not taking advantage of anything like oh my god it's like anything and he was like he's like i think he said that he took in he took in like mid set like like a decent seven figure number net and he paid i think 35 000 in tax and it's all because he's just he's he's an expert at working the tax code within the the fair rules of which can he takes advantage of everything that he can and i don't take advantage of anything that i could and the reality is talking about familiarity when everything's running great, and you're like, oh, that sucks, but I've got to write this check,

but here you go. But then you run into what's happened to our business right now, which is a little bit of a slowdown, and all of a sudden you start looking at every line. You start looking at everything. Now you're like, whoa. AIO? Yeah, well, no, you look at everything,

and you're like, wait a second. Like, okay, we've got to make cuts here. We've got to do this. We've got to adjust this. We've got to make sure, because anybody can run a good business in a bull market. Right. That's kind of what I'm, you know, that's what you're saying. That's what I mean. Yeah. When you go scarce is when you got to start taking a hard look at what you do and what you say.

That's why that's when the knives get sharper, you know? Yeah. Without a doubt. If you're somebody that procrastinates, I've never met anybody that has a written plan for the day that procrastinates a lot for me you know i i've got to have a to-do list do you use to do this i think that people this is this is a hard opinion maybe that's fine no no i think that people that sit there and write to-do lists usually spend more time working on their to-do list than they do doing the things on the to-do list that's been my personal experience i think no i do a to-do list. That's been my personal experience. I think. No, I do a to-do list. I knock it out in 90 seconds. Yeah, my to-do list, I don't sit down for three hours

and talk about what I have to do, but as tasks pop up, they go in the to-do list. Oh yeah, okay. Yes, I have scheduling. I have, yeah, I schedule, it's all on my phone, but I do have my schedule. Yeah, I have to have that. And like I preach with my my coaching students it's like

look find the worst thing on your to-do list and do it first oh yeah yeah like ski downhill don't walk uphill you know what i mean so if you do the worst thing first and the rest of your day gets easier if you do wait if you put off that hardest thing then you're you're slowing down to dread it that's the worst thing to do i I mean, we've talked about it. If you get a phone call, you don't want to answer. Answer a damn phone call. Let's do it now. Instead of just watching that voicemail button look all day long like,

oh, I want to deal with it. Now you've ruined your whole day. Once you get through the hardest things, you notice the sound gets turned down on your day. Yeah. Well, that's the point. Yeah. Like, honestly, i think it's physical

i truly once i've look i the last two last tuesday i had a case settle that was three years in the mix three years and all said and done it's going to be a successful case good leave it at that um but it's one that's been causing me a lot of consternation, a lot of stress over that period of three years for multiple reasons. The minute that thing settled. You're going to Columbia. No, no, no, no. Back to Columbia, man.

I was already back in. The volume in the world just got turned down a little bit. It was the first time I felt like that weight off the shoulders. Well, I think we can talk about that too because if you're a procrastinator it seems like the more things you have to do or the more things that run at you the easier it is to put put more of it off like me and my wife were talking yesterday we've had literally guests for three weeks straight you know we had my sister then we had my other sister her family then we had her best friend was just here and it's just been nonstop.

And then there's that. And then the kids, it's like, we have to be in six different places at once. And there's just all this stuff. And I just told my wife to this morning, I'm so looking forward to next week after this, after our Christmas party, when I really kind of don't have to be anywhere for a minute. I mean, you know, cause I'm going to this mastermind tomorrow in San Diego and I get back and it's just, it's nonstop for the rest of this week. But then I'll be happy to kind of have a minute to decompress.

And I think you need that. And I think the way that you can get that is most people probably say yes to too much shit. They do. They're constantly just saying yes. Yeah. It's not even constantly yes. I'm filling up pages not realizing what an effect that has on me when it's time to actually perform all of them.

Because I like them all. I look forward to them all. Yeah. It does fuel me. I'm an extrovert, despite my name. I like people. I like being out. But then you get to a point where you go, oh, my God,

we have something this week. Like, please, something happen that takes it off schedule. Because you want to see people. I got to tell you, selling my Raiders tickets has been one of the best things because it's just one thing off my list I don't have to deal with you sold them all off for the year so they're gone all of them sold them all psl no not the psl i'll keep the psl because i'm killing i'm doing good on the tickets yeah so i mean i mean but honestly it's just it's one less thing i have to worry about having to go do yeah i get it so and right now we have so much going on i needed

to limit my stuff so if you feel like you're not getting anything done eliminate the things that aren't necessarily that important that's something i like to do though i don't sell my raiders because i like them yeah i look forward to it so the wife and i both enjoy it we have a kind of a routine on game day we do this it's ready we go out you know we have breakfast first it's a nice day for us because we always know that on a game day we can go hang out we walk over to a restaurant after get get some wings and a beer, watch the part of the five o'clock game. And then when it's all settled down, we Uber home. We only live a mile and a half from the stadium.

But for me, I felt like we were having to go. I got to get the kids ready. We got to go. We got to do this. It just became kind of a pushup. But that may change because it seems like every other single day, I got something to do. And Colt walked in today and said, what'd you do this weekend? I'm like, dude, I was at a lacrosse field at 7 a pushup. And that may change as, because it seems like every other single day, I got something to do. And Colt walked in today and said,

what'd you do this weekend? I'm like, dude, I was at a lacrosse field at 7 a.m. every day. You know, just because I had to be there, you know, and just going and going and going and going, which was crazy. And when you have kids that start, so my daughter's now a two-sport athlete,

she's playing basketball and volleyball. And we talked about that last time. Who takes her to practice? So she's at school, They bus to the game. So I got to go to her game after this. Okay. And then they won't let us take our own children back from the game. I have to then drive back to her school.

To pick her up. To pick her up. Who takes her to practice? Just right after school? It's right after school. So I pick her up after practice. Yeah. So I dropped her off today at 7.30.

I was in my jujitsu gym by 7 50 so i did jujitsu 7 50 in the morning that gives me enough time so we leave we have that kind of a perfect schedule so it works so then i can do my stuff that i need to do because as you know every morning i either have the weights or i have jujitsu or something i do that because i need to kind of get my day started like that you know when you get to work you start your you start right off like with your task because i i don't schedule anything for like the first hour and a half yeah i i was i was just going to mention that it's something that i'm actually it's a change that i'm going to make for the new year which is i have a lot of zooms that normally take place almost every day i've got a zoom sometimes starting between eight

or eight or eight or nine every day. I've got something and I'm going to move all of that to afternoon because I like to get up in the morning. I like to get that done. But when nobody's at my house, like, cause the kids are going to school and it's just me, I get so much done. I start, I've started not coming into the office here till afternoon till like around noon every day because i just get so much more done at home that's that's how i do but as an attorney you gotta remember i have court anywhere from eight oh yeah yeah so nobody expects me to be available yeah at nine in the morning that's true so that's kind of one of those benefits about morning court court's always in the morning if you have a if you have an afternoon it's usually either trial

or there's something weird i or it's bankruptcy or some other business matter yeah rarely or it's a settlement conference or whatever rarely will i have something in the afternoon that's court related yeah i start my day i start my day really early but i do not take appointments till after 9 30 10 o'clock. 10, 11 is good. Like tomorrow I'm moving everything after afternoon. I think that's really great. I want that first four hours to me. If you get your stuff done, I find that I'm actually most productive.

If I start cooking on something, 4, 5, 6, 7 p.m., that's when I am in flow state. See, the problem with me is when I get home, I'm here all day. And then I get home and then the kids home, and then it's super dad time till 9, 30, 10 o'clock, and then start over again. I do the work before then. I'm saying that me personally, when I was on Law Review, when I was my entire time, now is the time of day where I would start cooking the most.

Start two, three, four, now I'm getting that. So if if i get everything going so if i'm at work till eight at night my wife knows it's because i'm cooking yeah and there's something i can't start cooking at nine in the morning it starts yeah i'm drafting briefs and it's like no i want to kind of get my day i want to sort out what i need to do so it's not procrastinating to me i just have an optimal optimal well okay okay well let's talk about that because that that's good that's not about procrastinating. To me, I just have an optimal brain time. Okay, well, let's talk about that because that's good. That's not about procrastinating because she'll do it within the course of a day. Of a day, yeah. You just understand when you work at your best. And I think running your schedule around those times will prohibit you from procrastinating things.

So if your person works better at night, then work at night. If your person works more at night. I mean, dude, everybody's different. Find what works for you is the point. work out so if i work out at night screws up my sleep so i work out at night i work out in the morning seven seven in the morning or eight if it's jiu-jitsu i'm working out nine i do this stuff i start answering emails i start doing customer service early because that doesn't take me having to sit down and do a singular task that's when i can do the breadth.

See, I don't even open my email until probably minimum 10 o'clock. I don't know. Just because as soon as I open my email, I'm now responding to other people. Now other people are controlling what I'm doing right now. I want to knock out everything I need to knock out, and then I'll start worrying about other people's problems. I do the total opposite. I'm always available by email.

After this show is done, I'll have 10 emails, and I will respond to each one in kind. And I will have that done throughout the day until 10 at night. Well, but see, here's the thing. I don't get a lot of emails that need right now type responses. Right, okay. Because that's, you know, anywhere where a fire could burn,

I have a fireman somewhere between me and that fire. Yeah, but I don't task my staff um my my main um case manager she's available she makes herself available kind of whenever so i don't even ask her but it'll be 7 p.m yeah i'll notice but you have a fireman too though she's she's helping put stuff out yeah yeah but oh and if something's absolutely on fire it's a phone call and it's a phone call after a's a phone call that's a phone call right so it's like thankfully i'm else though thankfully i'm in a business where your average case is going to take two years so very rarely is anything on fire if it's on fire it's it's like what do they say you're either coaching it or allowing it to happen yeah and that's like in

our industry right like if you're you're you will have fires if it needs to be taken care of in a two or three hour period then you have you've screwed up you've screwed up and waited way too you procrastinated on something yeah this is a long it's a long sales process there's no reason so talk to me about that nine months right like from start to beginning like mine are way longer but that's why car people have a tough time in the real estate game because they want to come. They're so used to bam, bam, bam. One day, six hours where yours, even yours to me is short, but yours is still 28 days, 30 days. 95% of your fires happen to the day of close though.

No, not necessarily. Not necessarily. Because if you've done your job right with competent people, there shouldn't be a lot of surprises day of close. There shouldn't. I mean, the prelim comes in. There's no crazy. I mean, it can happen that a crazy lien can come in the day of closing. That could happen at title.

But if your loan is solid and your buyer is solid, the lender has done a good job. They know everything is fine. Yeah, but it used to be worse. Getting this. But again, that's all part of the process going forward. And like what we do and what we're really good with is we understand that when we're getting a deal, even if the, the agent on the other side of the transaction is not the greatest, we have already had a discussion about getting those keys, getting that before closing. Like, how are we

doing this work? We pick them up. Are you leaving the lock box? Can we get them from your office? How are we doing this? You know, and a lot of, lockbox we get them from your office how are we doing this yeah you know and a lot of and there you go a lot of people a lot of people in this business don't do don't do that it closes and they're like sweet it closed hey how are we getting the keys well i'm in cancun bro i don't know what to tell you yeah that's that's what i'm saying i noticed that happens so much yeah because on my deals too i mean my personal deals yeah i mean deals i'll do because i'll do what my wife does in this business in this business unfortunately you have got to assume the worst about everybody you're working with you've got to like cover every single basic can you gotta yeah you gotta you

gotta just so true you gotta lay everything out you can't assume anything you cannot procrastinate about that you cannot you just can't it's when a fire comes, right? Like, how are we getting keys? But you have, I always tell people, just assume you're dealing with a dumbass, which is bad to say, but most of the time you are like, oh, well, I don't know. I'm in Cancun. I couldn't tell you how many times that is. Assume everyone's a moron and have them prove you wrong. Right. Well, if you're doing right by your client, that's what you have to do.

You have to. You know, I'm a big fan, too. I tell people all the time, if you want to break out of a cycle, if you're in a cycle of not getting stuff done, dress for the day and prepare for the day you want, not the day you have. I've seen this so many times when, you know, people will come in to a real estate office to prospect. I'm going to make calls.

And they're wearing sweatpants and a hoodie. And you're like, well, what happens if they say, can you come right now? Well, I'll run home and I'll change. Why would you not just be prepared for that right now? I know. Like, because for me anyway, on days when I have to like really, and I know that I'm going to be out there and I need to be my best, I love wearing suits. I love that.

I know Colt wears suits almost every day. It's like the change. You change from, if I walked around here in sweats all day, I would never get anything done because when I go home and I put sweats on, that's my home outfit. I need to get in my uniform.

Superman has an outfit for a reason he doesn't go no he doesn't yes he does superman puts on an outfit no but he puts on an outfit so he could stop being clark kent who's a puss no no no no no no no no no no this is where you're wrong oh jesus this kill bill quentin tarantino. Dude, Kill Bill is overrated. Clark Kent is Superman's reflection on humanity. What? Superman is who he is. Okay.

Right? So that's... His cape is his blanket. He's wearing the Clark Kent costume is what you're saying. That's right. Okay. Clark Kent, as you said, weak, frail. That's a whole... He's got a whole soliloquy.

There's a whole thing. It's brilliant. It's true. It's brilliant. It's true. Because Peter Parker has to turn into Spider-Man, right? These guys all have to turn into who they are. Superman is Superman. He has to hide who he is by being Clark Kent, which is the dorky glasses. That's his reflection on humanity.

You've lost Colt. Colt's really confused now. Don't tell me you don't like Superman. He's confused now. No, do you know how many people say, oh, you look like Clark Kent when I have long hair, and now you're saying he's a nerd and he's a dork with glasses? No, no.

No, you're good. No, you look good. You look good in the glasses. You look good in Superman. That's the symbol of what he was found with in the field. Superman is Superman. He pretends to be clerk can't i don't know i don't watch that stuff so i'm not saying i got you quick tarantino i got you bill that's a horrible movie jesus christ that wait you're no dude what do you mean i literally have a hattori hanzo sword in my office

oh my god dude speaking of speaking of which speaking of i don't know if we talked about this didn't like kill bill i don't know if we've turned it off i don't know if we talked about this but my your wife said something to my wife yesterday which was hilarious because my wife watches that 90 day fiance show right yeah she watches or 90 day whatever show, right? Yeah. She watches or 90 day, whatever it is. I'd say she watched that. And at one point, it's some random thing. This guy said he made a comment. If he sells rare guns like the Castro Troy guns. And I was like, wait a second.

So Gidget finally asked your wife, did you get the gun from this guy? And this dude, I'm going to see if I get this on camera. So this dude, she says, yeah, here's a picture that the guy says. It's like a side picture. Side picture of himself. I'm like, bro, I get this on camera. So this dude, she says, yeah, here's a picture that the guy says. It's like a signed picture of himself. Signed picture of himself. Of himself. I'm like, bro, I don't give a shit about you. I want the gun. I know.

That's your picture? No, he sent him like a whole like signed thing. Thank you for buying the Caster Droids venue. And he like signed it. He's a gun maker, but I don't know. Yeah, I thought that was so funny. I was going to say something, but I'm not. Real quick, Alberto just texted me back.

So, Jacob, we hope you're listening to this. My first bit of advice for you, Jacob, directly, would be grow a mustache like your father's, because that thing is just magical. Don't watch Star Wars. Is it the mustache realtor? Yeah, the mustache realtor. This is his son, yeah.

Wow. So, hey hey real quick if you had to give a colt i don't think i could let's get let's i'm gonna bring this shout out to him by the way um with that gift basket he sent you yeah it was strong it's super strong so he was full of rocky patel cigar stuff that was good he impressed colt with that that's hard to do yeah it was the colt colt wasn't even impressed by Kill Bill. Let's pretend you got to give Jacob some advice. Give Jacob some advice.

What advice would you give him? Advice? Oh, man. Well, first off. Young Jacob who's listening to us in the car right now. School's important. Yep. Movie selection is important.

Don't watch Star Wars. Don't watch Kill Bill. Don't watch Superman. Be a man. Watch Man on Fire. Watch Casino. Watch Godfather. What about Columbia?

Should he go to Columbia? He should go to Columbia. Here's one for the youth. Go there from 18 to 22. Learn Spanish. Stay in school. And any of your friends that tell you bros before hoes is not being a real bro. You think it's hoes before bros?

I think it's always hoes before bros, if I'm being honest. And a good bro is not going to put you in that position. That's a good bro. That's a bad bro. That's a bad bro that puts you in the bros' hands. Chris is a good bro. I will give Chris that. You're a good bro.

I got you, man. Good bro. Gotcha. Gotcha. Name Chad. Yeah, you gotcha. You gotcha gotcha name chad yeah you gotcha chad you gotcha well i think you know hopefully some of those tips helped you today with procrastination hopefully some of that did um get it out of the way but i'll tell you but you know what i do want to talk about two more things though

with it comes to procrastination in fact that me number one the language you use with yourself is very important replace the word have with get like i get to do this instead i have to do this because a lot of the stuff especially if you're in sales or you're in a prospecting type business those tasks that you have to do there's somebody out there standing on a construction, an assembly line in China. It's putting the same component in an iPhone all day long for 18 hours a day that would give anything to have that work to be able to get to do what you do every day. So next time you have to do something,

tell yourself, I get to go do something. There's a dude without legs right now. I'm not trying to go that far. I am'm always no i'm serious we just talk about the iphone i mean we're just supporting sure i have an iphone cool i got some bad news for you vegans are supporting the death of multiple ground squirrels and birds off of the iphone we're talking about the iphone every single thing you know creates death and destruction at some level cool your existence just like you're just blowing over slavery

like it's not because you think the android you think what you think that you think that those precious minerals are what the equality diamond is that android made with only yeah there's no blood on your hands when 90 of the world uses android yeah thank you yep more of that those lithium ion batteries aren't just in uh iphones stuff made out of canada for now people care people that have iphones at least care enough to to do research you android people knowingly turn he's an iphone user now uh begrudgingly is that what he's there yeah i'm not i know he's like if i drink starbucks he's like what's with a client i'm not a starbucks you know he is he's he's like he's like he's like that the actor he's like that actress that's trying to blow

up scientology that's that's who he is she's janine yeah she's on the inside whatever her name was yeah exactly that's who you are leah's Janine Grobbler. Yeah, she's on the inside, whatever her name was. Rima. Yeah, exactly. That's who you are, Leah Remedy. You're Leah Remedy of the, you're the Leah Remedy of Apple. You use it, but you're still trying to blow it up from the inside. Thanks a lot, Colt. You know, Colt, I lost a lot of respect for you when you went over to the iPhone.

Oh, wow. You used to have conviction and morals, and you just threw them in because we bullshitted you about a blue bubble. I had nothing to do with you guys. I'm just kidding. No, I know. It's funny. I'm actually very proud of you. People are like, oh, you gave me into it. No, there was one or two specific reasons.

I get it. That's it. You can just say that. As soon as I get retirement, my retirement party is just going to be breaking. You know what? You know what? No, no. Okay. We didn't talk about this.

I'll tell you something else. It made me angry. Angry on Saturday night. Herschel Walker? No, not Herschel Walker. The Cowboys? No, no. Saturday night we were chasing the party a little bit.

So we went to my wife because my wife's friend, Jenea, was in town from New Orleans and she wanted to watch the Saints. So they went to the Saints bar, my wife's friend was janae was in town from new orleans and she wanted to watch the saints they went to the saints bar which is i'm sorry she wanted to watch lsu in the in the in the in their game on saturday so they went to some pts over off durango so i went and met them there go tigers and then from there it was like scott's like scott came in medicine he's like oh well let's go to uh this uh chandel some bar whatever it was and we walked in there and it was like we're fun goes to die and i'm like well this sucks so where are we now we're close to scott's house let's just go south

point so we go south point and there's 8 000 cowboys there which i love the cowboys don't be wrong cowboys are great and i almost wore my cowboy hat tonight no but it was it was just a matter of there was nowhere to sit that was there was nowhere to like hang out it was so busy it was crazy henderson executive airport what's? You want to talk about money? Oh, watching the money fly in there? Talk about cowboys. Oh, flying the cowboys and flying the jets? I got into a- Hang on, let me finish my story.

I go to an auction. Sorry. Let me finish my story. I didn't mean to do that, but I just- Look, because I want to know your opinion. I do want to know your opinion on this. So I go, and we end up going to Giuseppe's, which is a little nice restaurant up here at the corner of Horizon and Eastern.

And we go in and we eat. And we eat there sometimes. Let's just get something to eat here on the way home and there's a there's a private event space at giuseppe's and someone is having their 60th birthday party i know that because there's the big six zero balloons and all of these people are dressed all of the all of the party goers are dressed like super old like people with like walk walkers and rollers in their hair and support hoes and all the guys trying to look like super old people. If that was my birthday party at 60,

now keep in mind, I'm 50. This ain't that far away from me. If that was my birthday party, I'd have been pissed. I'm like, look, if you guys want to act like you're, no, I'm doing like raging 80s when I'm like 60. I'm like, I got life to live. I don't want somebody acting like I didn't know i'm doing like raging 80s when i'm like 60. i'm like i got life to live i don't want somebody to act like i'm hanging this shit up breaking your chops about how old you are yeah i don't know but like dude i'm not trying to hang it up i mean dude with my

high level of income in science i don't see reasons i can't live to be 135 145 years old that's bad news for you john that's the bad news where i do know the size. It doesn't have us in its highest graces. But the point is, I'm like, dude, you're 60. You're not 90. Don't you think that's just people breaking chops? And by the way, maybe the six was hung upside down. Maybe the air conditioning was going. No, no, it was not 90.

No, but I mean, here's my thing. I kind of agree with you. I'd rather do things in a classy way, or I'd rather go, I'd rather do the finer things. Yeah. Like your birthday, all these things. Or fun. Or like your birthday should be a celebration

of the life that you've lived, but and the life you're still going to live. But every single, I grew up in a family where, you know, it was the 40th birthday. Every card was, you're over the hill now, and it's all this bullshit. That is kind of insidious though, isn't it it or people kind of start believing that they're old yes you stuff yes i've stopped saying that to myself yes because i'm like oh i'm 42 i say it as a deflection thing yeah i said it in jujitsu today this morning yeah we're talking

about um we're talking about doing birambola rolls it's this really kind of inverted you know i think i've said i'm gonna put kung fu fighting on the board and every time you slide jujitsu into conversation it just happened because give me on that give me on a monday tuesday wednesday friday so you're doing this beer and bolo rule and it's this thing where you go inverted and you flip blah blah blah and they're like uh you big guys can do it too i want i taught a nine-year-old to do i taught this other guy to do and i go that guy's 27 the kid you're talking about's nine his spine is fucking spongy like for a 42 year old spine you know you see tom brady on the field he's obviously not trying to get hit like he was when he's 25 yeah because it's putting his head down and going putting his head down and burying it in so there are things you have to be

cognizant of but in no way is a death sentence but see i would say in my head like right now people ask me like how much five no no not 25 that's how i feel i'm perpetually like 32 that's the that's the number i have in my head that's like where i'm at 32 shock and i think definitely and i think definitely being in the gym every day and working out has helped that tremendously since my since my 50th birthday i feel better than i did when i was 40 sure i know i do but yeah i just to me i just i kept watching that and i was like bro don't stick me in the ground don't don't don't tell me that it's over you know because it's not uh i mean they were just friends breaking balls or what no i don't think about there was maliciously trying to hurt the

but the overall theme of the party let's all dress like we're 100. I thought I'd have been like, no, no, no, no, no. You've gone back and looked at some of your parents' old photo albums? No. Huh? Oh, yeah. Ever go look back at your parents' old photo album? They were smoking over the birthday cake? They were smoking over the birthday cake.

And it was dad's 40th birthday or whatever. And everybody there is 75 years old. And you look and it goes, Todd was 36. Yeah, that's true. They did look old. They're golden 60. Now girls were like 60. This is they weren't 50. Yeah, no, they're in their 50. This is the

thing that screws. This is the thing that screws me up all the time. I remember being a little kid right and that show 30 something would come on at like 10 o'clock and I'm like, oh, not this old person. Jesus. And that was 30 something the guy just got his first mortgage oh my god look at these 30 something it was crazy so age is different though age is different all

right okay not to that point though it is nice when people can kind of acknowledge their age and don't shoot their faces up and look like you know blown out lizards too yeah no there's also something to be said about age a bit gracefully graceful look how beautiful i look at the silver hair dude what's funny is people accuse me of dyeing my hair for years which i never have and now all of a sudden it's like gone i mean like even in this room it just if you're watching us on the two on youtube it just glistens in somebody with the greatness strawberry blonde yeah i don't care about the great yeah i tell blonde. Yeah, I don't care about the gray. I tell you, I don't care about the gray. I care

about the unruliness because the gray hairs just have a mind of their own. They're like, I'm just going this way and that's what I'm doing. People think I stick my hair up because I want to, you know, still look like this. It's just actually doing this pretty much on its own. I want to get to the age where I just start doing everything efficiently. Like John Donahue and start wearing like your workout clothes

under your suit, shave your head, save time. Just to be done. Just to be totally efficient. Just to be done. We'll be efficient. Hopefully,

I don't know how much we helped you with procrastination today. I don't know. We procrastinated. We showed up and we did it. We showed up and we did it. This is what happens when we don't do a show for three weeks and we just want to pitch about random things. So Colt, unless you have anything else you'd like to talk to the folks about said i think birthdays are overrated would it be i mean would it be

here's what here's what i am curious about that we haven't had a colt top five in a while colt top five five holidays no not for top five holidays top five because we're in the middle of the holidays right now it's christmas top five christmas holiday thing christmas things to eat what do you got number one yes christmasy things we eat pasta for christmas eat pasta okay but i'm talking about like things that are only out for christmas pasta's out all year round so uh chick-fil-a has an amazing peppermint milkshake Yes I heard an ad on the way here I haven't had that I thought about that

It's got like some chunks in it It's amazing So Chick-fil-A is number one That's what You're going straight to Number one with a bullet Straight number one Because I don't know

Where I'm going with Number two or three Eggnog Eggnog I love eggnog Eggnog is good I have eggnog in my fridge right now I haven't had any yet

I have it in my fridge right now. I might stop on the way. We actually got a light one, and it's good. And it's good. It's delicious. They made improvements. But you can only have like maybe an ounce, ounce and a half. Oh, I can drink a glass of eggnog.

Oh, no. I can drink a quart. But I don't. No. I don't. I have a glass. When my, they were talking about my grandmother. So my grandfather used to make eggnog from scratch,

and he put liquor in it. He put bourbon in it. But my grandmother never touched a drink in her life, and he never told her there was booze in it.
