The Entrepreneur DNA - The Miracle Mentality: How Successful Entrepreneurs Think Differently | Tim Storey | EP 64

Episode Date: March 24, 2025

In this episode, I sat down with my good friend and life coach to the stars, Tim Storey, to dive deep into the concept of The Miracle Mentality — the mindset shift that separates ordinary people from extraordinary entrepreneurs. We talked about what it really means to think big, create uncommon plans, and build the kind of resilience it takes to win in business and life. Tim shared powerful stories from working with legends like Magic Johnson, Oprah, and Robert Downey Jr., and we broke down how success isn’t about talent — it’s about your mindset, your partnerships, and your ability to persist through resistance. If you’ve ever felt called to something greater, this conversation will remind you that you’re not meant to be regular — you’re meant to think, act, and live at an extraordinary level. -- About Tim Storey: Tim Storey is an acclaimed author, speaker, and life coach to the stars.

Persistence is not just the grit. Persistence is something that gets inside of you, where all of a sudden there's almost like a miracle mentality that's just not on you, but it's in you. Miracle mentality says, somehow, some way I'm going to get through. Somehow, some way I'm going to get through. If there's a mountain in front of you today, I'm talking to get through. Somehow some way I'm going to get through. So if there's a mountain in front of you today and talking to everybody watching, sometimes

you drill through the mountain. That's that persistence chest pounding. But sometimes you're supposed to go around the mountain and sometimes you're supposed to climb the mountain. So you got to say this mountain that I'm facing today, do I drill through it? Damn it, get the hell out of my way. Drill through it, do I go around it or do I go over it? What is up the entrepreneur DNA family?

This is gonna be a hell of an episode. I have a good friend of mine. This is a man who is known as the life coach to the stars the people that we all want to be like Or do we we don't know? best-selling author great friend nationally a Recognized speaker. I mean the resume goes on and on my good friend Tim story is here. What is up, dude? Justin good to be on and I'm excited about your podcast. How long have you been doing it now? So I've had this podcast for about a year and a half Good to be on. And I'm excited about your podcast. How long have you been doing it now?

So I've had this podcast for about a year and a half, but I've been podcasting for over a decade. So this specific one is about 16 months old. And then I have another one called the science of flipping that I've had for 11 years. I'm loving it. And you're getting like phenomenal guests. So it's a privilege to be on.

And I'm glad that we're gonna talk about the miracle mentality as an entrepreneur because it is needed. It is really widely needed, right? I mean, the reason why I was so happy that you were able to find some time, and I know we've been trying to kind of get it between your schedule and my schedule,

is because, you know, listen, there's a lot of pain right now in the world of course but even in business in the financial sector and the real estate sector and I'm a firm believer of things don't happen to us that happen for us and it's a reframing of this. This is why your book The Miracle Mentality is so brilliant. If you guys don't have it go get it. Talk to us a little bit about that. Talk to us about the book, the ideology, where it came from, what it's really speaking to.

Yeah, I think that any time you decide to do something at a higher level, you need to think in an extraordinary manner. I've been very fortunate enough to do, as Justin said, to be around people that really have done well, to work with the John Paul DeGioras who sold Patron for $5 billion, to be around Lee Iacocca for 80,

who's done amazing things for all these years, and to be around him for 35 years, to be around people like a Quincy Jones for over 37 years. And what you learn is that these were common men that thought uncommon thoughts. So in order to be an entrepreneur like you desire to be, you have to have a miracle mentality. Yeah, and you say something that I want people

to re-hear, if you will, common men that think uncommon thoughts. We were just talking offline a little bit ago about just the decision to be an entrepreneur is pretty uncommon. Now it is gaining traction, right? I mean, it is becoming much more, it's being received a lot more, right? Yeah.

But it is an uncommon strategy for the most part still, right, relative to the nine to five. And so just the simple fact of someone choosing to be an entrepreneur is uncozum. And talk to us about the things that you saw, the common threads, whether it's the Quinchy Jones, Lee Iacocca, what are some of these common threads with their thought process, their belief system,

their actions? Yeah, so let's go into the common man thinking on common thoughts for a second. Let's start even in kindergarten. In kindergarten, in the average class, you have 20 to 25 students in each class. So it's like you're just in this cluster of kids that they think are common. But within that group of 20 to 25 kids, of 20 to 25 kids at one point was Jeff Bezos. At one time was someone like Eli Iacocca. At one point was somebody like an Elon Musk or a Justin Colby. So within that cluster was common kids, but they chose many of them to find uncommon way of thinking. So I call it a miracle mentality.

A miracle is something extraordinary, uncommon, and not regular. So let's go to your life, all you that are watching right now. At what point in your life did you realize that you were not normal? Well, I asked this to Oprah Winfrey in her backyard. She said, at 10 years of age,

I knew I was supposed to do something great. I asked it to Stevie Wonder. Stevie Wonder said, at about seven years of age, I knew I was called to do something great. I asked it to Robert Downey Jr. who became Iron Man. He said, Tim, probably about eight. I started making films with my dad. I knew I was not supposed to be regular.

So the first thing that I would say to you is at what point in your life did you realize you were not supposed to be regular? So let me ask you, Joe. At what point in your life did you realize you were not supposed to be just a regular guy? I don't know if I knew it then and there, but I realized looking back, I wasn't because I always, so I've never had a W-2 job. I graduated UCLA, which would be a great diploma to have for your

normal W-2 job. I've never had a W-2 job as an adult. And when I look back at my childhood, six, seven, eight years old, I was washing cars, right? I was collecting trash around the neighborhood. I was collecting the bottles and the cans to bring it to the recycling bin so I could get paid versus the trash can coming around. I would go buy baseball cards. We have a good friend, Dan Fleischman, right?

He owns coffee and cards. Like I would go buy a box of cards. I would open it in front of the store owner and I would sell him back the individual cards that he would want to buy. And I would flip it right then and right there. And in looking back, I'm like, I've always been an entrepreneur. It's actually all I've ever known. Yeah.

I like how you say that because I don't think it's always like an aha moment where you just go ding, but it's just, you could see it by your actions. The fact that you were selling goods, selling things. I like to study people. I've now been to 82 countries of the world. There's a guy named Ingvar Kamprad. He is from Sweden. He created something called IKEA. Most of us have been there, IKEA. And the way he started was by selling things

door to door when he was eight, nine, and 10 years of age. And when questioned in an interview, did you ever think you'd be the guy that had you may or may not know him, Sam Taggart. He literally runs a door to door con. And he took me to Switzerland last year. Did he really? I love that. I love that. Yeah.

So funny. We're talking door to door again. I started in business. I graduated from the University of New York. I graduated from the University of New York. I graduated from the University of New York. I graduated he really? I love that. I love it. Yeah. So funny we're talking door to door again. I started in business.

I graduated UCLA with a diploma that people would kill for and I ended up becoming a door to door salesman with that diploma. My family literally is like, Justin, what is wrong with you? Right? But that is the difference. I was willing.

That didn't make me quit. I told them what I wanted to be. Like I was like, I want to go down this path. I don't care if you think I'm crazy or silly or stupid. And they did. I mean, the reality is people get all caught up on what are people gonna say about me? And they're already saying it.

Your family, your close friends are saying it. They're saying, oh, he's crazy for doing that. Oh, he's stupid for doing that. Oh, he doesn't know what he's doing. That's just silly, right? They are saying it because it makes themselves feel better, first of all. I like this. But let's go into the miracle mentality in business. As many of you know, I'm constantly on the move, juggling multiple businesses, traveling, and ensuring I get my morning workouts in. Staying fresh isn't just a preference, it's a necessity.

But let's face it, after back to back meetings, juggling two kids at home and the hustle and bustle of everyday life, body odor can become an issue. But here's the deal, Mando has revolutionized how I stay fresh. This isn't just another deodorant, it's clinically proven to control odor better than a shower alone with soap.

So what I've been able to do is I've been able to walk stride for stride with a lot of people that other people know but I got to know them from the

inside. So let's say a Magic Johnson. I met Magic probably 1989. When I met him he was still part of the Lakers. He was doing well. Now he is a billionaire. He's a billionaire, not because of basketball, but because of business. He was really trained a lot under the tutelage of the owner of the Lakers, who is Jerry Bus, who is now passed on.

And now his daughter, Jeannie Bus, who is now passed on. Now his daughter Jeannie Bus has taken over and they have a special about her on Netflix right now. Magic did something very interesting where he learned from Mr. Bus and he ventured out. He got into part ownership of Fat Burgers, which is kind of like an in and out burgers. Then he got into Friday's restaurants, only took some of them. Then he talked to Mr.

Schultz at Starbucks, said we need some inner city Starbucks. Then he got Magic Johnson theaters. Then he began to take part of the Dodgers, the Lakers, now the Washington commanders, now a billion dollars. Now, how did he do that? He had uncommon thinking People that have a miracle mentality. They have Uncommon thinking all right, so I got to go back to you Justin because you know, I'm a life coach

So I got to go there. So when did you start thinking? Uncommon thoughts where it was it a nine-year-old little Justin, a 12-year-old little Justin? I think it's as young as I could have possibly have been. Again, the reason why, I'll give you a great story for me. Saturday, friends, me and my buddies were riding a bike, I don't know, I'll call it nine years old, right? Riding a bike around the neighborhood. This is when that was safe and easy to do, right? So, riding a bike, there don't know, call it nine years old, right? Riding a bike around the neighborhood. This is when that was like safe and like easy to do, right? So riding a bike, there's these group of girls I remember very clearly were at a Safeway intersection, like a Safeway

strip mall, right? And they were at the corner and my friends were like, oh, there's blah, blah, blah. And I just jumped on my bike and rode over to them and introduced myself. Had a normal little conversation. I don't remember all their names. I believe one was Julie, but I say that because they said they were going to go to the park. And so I said, cool. And I went back to my friends. My friends were blown away. What did you say? How did you say? Why did you do? What did they say? And I just kind of shrugged my shoulders. I was like, I just said hi and told them my name. I didn't do anything. Right. And I've always had this like, nothing is actually that big of a deal. Nothing. Right. And now as a business owner, I realized the same thing about the great times,

the high highs, the pinnacles, the peak, the zeniths. It's not always as big or as great as you think it is while you're there because the same perspective, the bottoms, the valleys, the basements, they're not always as low as you think they are, right? Love what you're saying because that does show that you are willing to think outside the box by approaching this group. So uncommon thinking comes two ways. Number one, it's innate. So

a lot of people that I work with, it could be the greatest soccer players in the world, the greatest cricket players in the world, NBA players, actors, singers, some of them say, hey, I feel like my, you know, miracle lifestyle was innate. Others say part of it was innate, but most of it was learned behavior. That's the beauty of this thing. So if you're not a person where you think, man, I don't always think as Justin just said, I don't always think the utmost,

the pinnacle, the zenith, the highest. Well, we can train you in this. And that's one reason that I love your podcast because you're bringing on amazing guests, that we can train you in this miracle mentality. So number one, great people who have a miracle mentality, they have uncommon thoughts. Secondly, they make uncommon plans. Now, this is a challenge because a lot of you that are watching, you were raised in a family that if you thought

uncommon and made uncommon plans, there was a pushback. Some would say, oh, watch out for your ego. Watch out. This doesn't seem like a stable plan. But people that do well, they make uncommon plans. When I say that, what does it mean to you, Justin? It's exactly what I kind of went through when I started going door to door. My entire family, right? I didn't talk about it with my friends per se because we're all in that weird flux of we just graduated college, no one really knows what we're doing.

So friends were kind of whatever. But family, right? They're like, Justin, what are you doing? You should not be doing this. You should be going for higher education. You should be going for that six figure job in San Francisco or whatever the case is. And that led into even when I would move, right? I moved a lot in my adult life intentionally.

And yes, family and friends like, well, do you know anyone out there? Do you know anyone in Phoenix? Do you have friends out there? Like, what are you going to do? Like everyone would question because everyone was safe in their bubble. They were safe in the, I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay area. Yes. And they loved their bubble.

I mean to this day, trying to get my family out of Marin County, which is beautiful. It is God's country. Do not get me wrong. But man, it's like pulling teeth. They're like, oh, I don't really want to go anywhere. I'm like, it's just a bubble. Like I'm all about the bigger experiences, the more experiences. I want to try every food. I want to go to every, like, I want that

because I know life is finite. You all this, is that more innate or was that more learned behavior? Totally innate, completely innate. I grew up with alcoholic parents, raising myself essentially, none of that was learned. That was all innately me. Yes, okay, so watch what happens.

So number one, you have uncommon thoughts. Number two, you make uncommon plans. So the pushback from your family, et cetera, is that as Carol Dweck from Stanford University says, people get caught up in a fixed mindset rather than in a growth mindset. So this is what we have to be careful of as entrepreneurs, is that people in a fixed mindset say,

people from our neighborhood, we don't do that. That's right, that's right. Is come on, Justin, get realistic. So a lot of people that are watching right now, you're facing that and your mentors and many times religion or friends or people you date or people that you marry have a fixed mindset, but innately and also what you're learning has given you a growth mindset so you're going to get frustrated.

You got to find a way, man. That's it. So as a life coach, what would you advise those people to find that way? Right? How do they break through that forest? How do they get through the trees? How do they do that based around the experience that you've seen? Okay. The way you do that is you have to partner with the right people. So it's called the power of partnership. It's super, super, super powerful. There's actually a scripture in the Bible that says, it's Proverbs 13, 20. It says, when you walk with the wise, you will stack up more wisdom. But if you spend time with people with no

understanding, your life will begin to unravel. Ooh, think about this. Man, you spend time with the right people, you'll stack up more wisdom. As you know, Justin, with the people that me and you get to hang around with, man, we're like stacking up wisdom. If I get around Grant Cardone, I was with him on a cruise for like seven days straight,

we just go every day. When I get around Glenn Sterns, Mr. Undercover Billionaire, worth right about a billion dollars, we were mixing it up on the same cruise for seven days. The other day I was with Ed Mylett. You learn, now I'm with Justin. I learned from Justin, Justin learned from me. So you got to partner with the right people.

Now, that doesn't mean you'll get to know them, but watch, you can watch their podcast, you could read their books, you could take their courses, you could partner with the right people. So when I say that, what goes through your mind? So I believe in the common four, and I say common because I feel like most people should know this, but some might not.

Your mind, body connections and business, right? So the connections part is what you're talking about. Now there are people that will take that to the God and faith side, which is great. There's people that take that to the marriage and family and wife and husband and kids. And then there's people that take that into the business. It's not or, it is an and. You need to have all that within your connections. I come from a place of always knowing I will do more,

I will be more, I will make more with people than alone. Yes. In fact, it is why the entrepreneur DNA exists, Tim, right? A year ago, a little, a year and a half ago, I've had a decade worth of podcasting. It's been going great. And I said, dude, my Rolodex is pretty deep. I know some pretty amazing individuals that I know,

but the world should be knowing. Why don't I start a podcast called The Entrepreneur DNA and feature the likes of Tim Story? I just had Dean Graciosi on. I've had Grant Cardone on twice, I've had name the name right and it's because I know the opportunities that will come from Tim and I. We talked about it just before we started recording. There's collaborative stuff that we can be doing today like tomorrow we can have a conversation like that type of connection with intentionality.

I think the missing link to me and I love your perspective on this. People aren't intentional with their connections. They aren't intentional with reaching out and being a part of a match. Tim, you run an incredible what I'll call mastermind incredible group group of movers, of shakers. Let's talk about it for a little bit, because if you aren't, if you're trying to find a space, yours might be the space people are looking for. Let's talk about your group for a second.

I created something called the World Shakers Society. And the reason is, so Justin, maybe me and you would meet and then I would put on my Insta story, hey, I was just with Justin Colby. And then some other people would say, oh my God, I love him, I follow him, I watch his podcast. Or I would be in Germany and I would say who I was with and people would say, oh, I really like that guy.

So I thought it's interesting that I know so many men and so many women that do well, so many men, so many women that are well, so many men, so many women that are on their way up. Why not create a group? So we created a group called the World Shaker Society. It is a community of people that have a growth mindset. It's not good, it's phenomenal.

Well, it started off where there was over a thousand people trying to get into a hundred spots. Now I am opening up more spots and so I mentor you. So three times a month on Zoom, you will get together with several hundred people and I mentor you on the eight areas of your life. The physical, the mental, the spiritual, the job, the career, the finances. You guys, come on. It's phenomenal for only $270 a month. Invest in yourself. To learn more about it, and thank you, Justin, for letting me talk about it. Tim and then s-t-o-r-e-y dot com, World Shaker Society. It's a do, and I bring on the best of the best to help educate us even on sleep, on breathing, on anxiety, depression, you'll love it.

Well, and this is where people need to be intentional. For $300 a month, let's call it, and you can be around Tim and the other thought leaders and shakers and movers, there are people that won't do it. And they're the same people that will be stuck in where they're at and not know why they can't get out from under whatever the thing is, they can't get further forward, they're stuck under this financial whatever it's because you're not being intentional with creating the. Connections, right?

I went around speaking for the better part of seven to eight years on kind of a speaking world tour, so to speak. And sometimes there was five people there and sometimes there was 5,000. Yeah. And it was because I was intentional with connecting with the people that I could make a difference with. Right. And I mean, even you and I speaking make a difference with. Right? And I mean, even you and I speaking at a Clever Summit together, right?

And coming up backstage and being intentional about saying hi, and that's what people are missing. I totally agree. And I think that it's almost like you stepped up as we started the podcast and talked to some of the girls and you stepped out of your comfort zone, this is what I had to do to get close to Iacocca, to get close to Quincy Jones, to get close to Vidal Sassoon. I mean, these guys were like the masters of their day in what they did. But they invited me around once or twice, but I wasn't shy about

calling your assistance and saying, Hey, it's Tim story. I was young. I was in my twenties. I got an idea and they say, Oh, Mr. I, Coco was just talking about you the other day. Come by the bell air house. I was intentional around these kinds of people. Cause I wanted to learn.

Well, and people need to reframe all of it, right meaning what is the worst someone can say if you do reach out? Yeah, no That's the worst they can say no I don't want to do business with you or no, I don't want to date you if you're trying to get a girl with like no Okay, so what? Who cares? Irrelevant in your life, you move on. Yeah, see, I was looking up a picture while we were talking, because I wanna show this. This is me the other day at, this is in Detroit,

and the Motown house is right behind me. So at Motown, watch this, Barry Gordy created Motown. Out of Motown, Justin came Stevie Wonder, Stokie Robinson, Marvin Gaye, Temptations, the Jackson Vive and Diana Ross and The Supremes, okay? All out of that little house. So Justin, intentionally I went and visited there the other day, just three days ago, but I wanna tell you something that's awesome, because we're talking about the power partnership.

Smokey Robinson said, "'I would never be Smokey Robinson "'if it wasn't for Stevie Wonder.'" Stevie Wonder says, "'I will never be Stevie Wonder "'if it wasn't for Stevie Wonder. Stevie Wonder says, I will never be Stevie Wonder if it wasn't for Smokey Robinson. Marvin Gaye said the same. The Temptations said the same because they all collaborated with each other. That is the power of partnership. So I like to say this and it's it's an old saying probably been around 30 years You need to go where you're celebrated not where you're tolerated

Go you celebrate not where you're tolerated. I don't go where I'm tolerated. I'll go to Justin where I'm celebrated. Amen Amen, that's right. And in Again kind of leaning into this connections. I want you to realize like, so I don't think you've heard me say this, I don't think, but I became very intentional in 2025 to say I'm more about collaboration than anything else. Like collaboration over competition. When you get to a certain level of life, there are still those guys out there. And Tim, you know what I'm talking about.

Like, I'm gonna kill everybody. I'm out to take everybody's food. I'm out. Fine. Let's see how far that takes you, right? Like you might do well, you might, but what about the other four components of your life? Like how are your connections? How is your family?

How are your kids? Like if that's your mentality, like don't get me wrong, in business, I am in business to win. Yeah. But it doesn't mean the other side has to lose either. Yeah. Make sense? I, listen, I love this about you because I'm all about the collaboration

and I collaborate with a lot of people that do extremely well, but I do collaboration with people that are on the come-up. Man, you know who is like working on brilliance. I remember the first time I met Pharrell Williams, I was in the studio with another very well known rapper. And Pharrell was there. He just looked like some quiet kid from Virginia.

We didn't know he was gonna be Pharrell Williams and create all these songs. And now he's doing Louis Vuitton men's collection. So you never know who's in the room, right? Yeah, never. And don't ever end at one of my favorite people on the planet, one of my closest friends, Kent Clover taught me this.

He has a story regarding his first like really big investor in the real estate space. And it was this old farmer. Aw shucks. Like overalls, cowboy hat, literally looked like he came out of the field and can't tell us a story, but it's just so true. So I tell it as well, but he treated him like everyone else. Good conversation, wanted to be interested in him, et cetera, et cetera. Everyone else was like, here's some old farmer who cares, right? Everyone else in the room.

And Kent had the same conversation with him that he would with Tim Story. A know the name, bestselling author. And that farmer was worth millions and millions and became a great business relationship to Kent. And I tell that story because it's a little bit more extreme, but the idea is, right, like just, you never know who you're talking to.

You never know whose hand you're shaking. And if you go in with the right intention, you never know where that connection leads you. I like the intention side because I think that that shows character. And I think we've lost a lot of that in the pursuit of success. You've got to keep character. Let's go back to miracle mentality. So number one is you have to have uncommon thoughts.

Number two, you have uncommon plans. Number three, you have to have uncommon partners, the power of partnership. And then this is a very interesting one. Out of uncommon partners, you have to have uncommon resilience. Let's talk about that. Because what's gonna happen, you guys,

there's gonna be an opposition to your mission. It's gonna be like being in football at the 10 yard line. That's when they call that the red zone. They're gonna throw blitzes at you, certain schemes you've never seen. Some of you are so close to doing something huge and you almost want to back off, but Justin and I are going to help you today. We're going to fire you up.

We're going to give you some strategy to get you over the goal line because you will face resistance. If it's not from your spouse or your girlfriend, it might be from other investors, it might be from a pandemic would hit, there will be resistance. Persistence breaks resistance. When I say persistence breaks resistance, Justin, teach him on that.

Let's go. Listen, I was gonna make you repeat it by the way, so I'm glad you repeated it. Because there's no way, you know, the age-old analogy, there's no way to beat a man who keeps getting up. He's unbeatable. And I've done, you know, now, so 2003 to 2025, so that's 22 years as an entrepreneur. 18 of those specifically have been in the real estate space, right? I can't tell you how much, like it is, I couldn't tell you how many days I see resistance.

One, sometimes bigger than the others, right? Like right now, just in transparency, I'm dealing with a crooked contractor who has financially genuinely hurt my real estate business. And I tell people in transparency that because I want them to realize, even though where they view me and where I'm at in life and the money I've made, all the cool shit that you

I see on social media, I still have to deal with resistance with getting punched in the face. And by the way, going back to connections and tying it all in. Guess who I get to call when I'm on the mat? Tim, come pick me bro, get me off this mat. Like I need help right now. Yeah. And then goes back to your connections. Who are your connections?

I made a post the other day, kind of something like, hey, if they're not there to, if your friends or your people, your connections, are not there to pick you up off the mat when you're down, do not answer the phone when you won the World Series. Wow, okay, this is so good. up off the mat when you're down, do not answer the phone when you won the World Series. Wow. Okay.

This is so good. Justin, sometimes as a entrepreneur, you feel like Jackie Chan in Rush Hour One. Okay. He's just minding his own business with Mr. Tucker, right? And so they're doing Rush Hour One. And then remember like the opposition would come and then pow, he'd get that. And like different people will come from different spots, come from the back,

he'd flip. That's how you feel as an entrepreneur. So right now, just dealing with a contractor, but at the same time you might have something else hit or you're working on a property in a snowstorm hits Cleveland and you didn't expect it. That's right. And then, you know, you might have a health scare. So, but there is a way of dealing with those Jackie Chan things coming at you all at once.

And it is that book by Mr. Keller from Keller Williams. You have to one thing at a time. A book that's that's how you deal with an opponent. One watch at a time. That's right. In the thing. Most people try to swallow the elephant. They see and listen, the problem I have right now, this isn't

something like, oh, I lost a couple bucks on a flip. Like this guy got me, right? Totally criminal, fraudulent, the whole thing, right? And you could look at it in the totality of it. Or you could go into bite size chunks and one bite at a time, one thing at a time, and over the runway, I call it a runway, you need a runway to take down the elephant, right? You need to get through it all. And you will if you persist.

If you decide to say, fuck it, I quit, you're going to go right back to wherever you are and everywhere you go. There you are. And what happens as you know, that if you learn how to deal with the resistance at this stage of your life, you'll be better at in five years, 10 years, 20 years. It's like the goats in basketball. 10 years, 20 years, it's like the goats in basketball. A LeBron James could have a bad quarter, but in his mind he's like, dude, look,

I'm gonna turn this around, you agree? I agree, I mean, I'm a warrior fan, right? So I'm diehard warriors, so Steph Curry's my guy. Let's take it to one of the warriors then, which one? Steph Curry, look at his first five years, right? People thought he was never gonna make it. He had ankle problems like why did they draft such a skinny, small little point guard, blah, blah, blah.

He is arguably one of the top five, in my opinion, top five greatest players to ever live. Agreed. Not to mention the best three point shooter of all time history. And he is doing at a level that most little young thundercats the 22 year olds wish they could still do same thing with the brawn he's still performing at such a high level at 40 years old like it's insane right and so again there's always

that and then that brings me into a sports analogy. You can't win the championship with the clean jersey. Yes. It doesn't happen. No one does it. Right? Look at the people that you work with, Tim. I mean, you just... And that is so good.

It's true. You can't win the championship with a clean jersey. You can't look at it, but I bring this into your world, right? You're the life coach to the stars. You talked about Robert Downey Jr. At least I'm aware. bring this into your world, right? You're, you're the life coach to the stars. You talked about Robert Downey Jr. At least I'm aware. Most people are aware of the drug battles he went through and going to jail and all this.

Yeah. He's fucking Ironman. He's, he's Ironman and he's worth about 400 million now. Persistence, right? Growth things. Yeah. You might make some silly decisions. Granted.

Got it. Fine. Okay. But that doesn't define you. Okay, so let me- He made a choice to not be defined by the silly decisions he made. Start working with Tim Story, and now he's worth 400 million. I like how you are verbalizing this.

So let me just tell the people though that persistence is not just grit. Because a lot of people think persistence is just, I beat the sun up. Okay. That they're just like, dude, I'm in the gym. I'm in the 10X health with Gary Brecker. And Gary Brecker, I love you. Okay, but persistence is not just the grit. Persistence is something that gets inside of you where all of a sudden there's almost like a miracle mentality that's just not on you, but it's in you. Miracle mentality says somehow, some way,

I'm gonna get through. Somehow, some way, I'm going to get through. So if there's a mountain in front of you today and talking to everybody watching, sometimes you drill through the mountain. That's that persistence chest pounding. But sometimes you're supposed to go around the mountain and sometimes you're supposed to climb the mountain. So you got to say this mountain that I'm facing today, do I drill through it? Damn it, get the hell out of my way. Drill through it, do I go around it or do I go over it?

And by the way, don't make that decision your own four walls. Yeah. Call someone. Call someone who's been there. This is the power of Tim's mastermind. Be around people who've been there before. So you have someone to call to say, hey, I have a mountain sitting in front of me today.

What do I do? Do I go through? Do I go around? Do I go over like, and then use the path of proven model. If Tim says, Justin, you've done this, go around today because watch this, watch what happens rather than going over. Then I know it's a proven model.

Tim's done it. Tim's been through it. I can just go replicate the proven model. This is why you need to be a part of it. And that's what we do with this mastermind. It's called world shaker society. Thank you, Justin, for mentioning it. And it's group of men and women, men and women.

So I bring on the best entrepreneurs. So you will hear from the best speakers we have in the world, sleep coaches, but you also bring on people from the IRS, how to deal with taxes. I'm gonna deal with, we deal with everything. So that is true within this group, this private group, that costs only $270 a month, that it's three sessions every month on Zoom,

and I coach you, you have the chance to ask somebody who is the best of the best in dealing with the IRS and taxes, like, what do I do? Yeah. In this dilemma in the area of alone, what do I do? So there's no doubt about it. We need help. You need help.

I need help. I constantly go to my friends for advice. Of course. And this is such a powerful episode. And I think that the thing that I would tell you guys, make sure you get into Tim's mastermind, but also understand Tim's story, Justin Kolbe, name the name. We deal with the same shit you guys deal with.

And we too need to make some phone calls. And I want that to be a big takeaway from the episode, right? Now yes, there are some levels to who we get to call when you're around certain circles, but you got to start somewhere. You need a circle, right? And that's where Tim's mastermind. Dude, I appreciate you so much. I appreciate all you do for the community,

for people, for performers, for entrepreneurs. Tim, you're a blessing to the world, my friend, and people need to know more about Tim's story. Thank you. Justin, keep on changing lives the way you do, and you have a real servant spirit. And I think that's one reason life is just picking you up and just taking you out there.

So the guys that have gone before you like myself, we honor you, we're proud of you, and it's your time to shine. I, brother, I appreciate you. Thank you for those kind words. Again, check out Tim's story. Go to all the social media. It says millions and millions and millions of followers. His book, right?

The the miracle mentality. He has his mastermind, right? I just make sure you're in his world. He's a blessing. We'll see if this helped you in any level. Make sure you share this with at least two of your friends. Peace.
