Starting point is 00:02:01 Kately is a mindset coach and long-time competitive cheer, coach who has spent over five years helping individuals unlock confidence, discipline, and believe through action. Together they work with the business owners across the U.S. and Canada
Starting point is 00:02:14 to break subconscious limitations, close the knowing... Doing gap. See, he's got me here. And lead with clarity and control. The combined approach fuses psychology, accountability, and energy. helping leaders build profitable businesses,
Starting point is 00:02:31 stronger teams, and lives they can actually enjoy. The husband and wife team here, listen, glad you guys made it. Yeah, thank you for having us, man. No, I'm really excited. It really is. We're excited too. Let's just get to know you guys a little bit.
Starting point is 00:02:45 How you guys started. What you're excited about, where you're going. The holes for bang. Yeah, so I actually started in the home improvement business. It was introduced when I was six years old on my stepdad. He was a siting installer, pulled up to pick up my mom for a day and he had a international with ladders and planks on it
Starting point is 00:03:03 and I'm like, what is she doing with this guy, right? But yeah, just spent most of my early life going down to the warehouse, unloading trucks, and part of my story is with mindset. We're kind of giving a program early in life. This is what you're supposed to do. Go to school, get a job, get married, raise some kids, have a beautiful life.
Starting point is 00:03:20 And I took that program, right? And my stepdad, he dropped out of college and I had to go to college. That was his rule. He's like, Sean, you can work. in the family business, you go do something else, you got to go to college, so I did it. And you know, at 42 years old, I'd been in the home improvement industry for 20 years. I'd had a lot of success. I'd built multiple beautiful homes, vacations, I had four amazing kids,
Starting point is 00:03:41 and I ran into some walls. I ran into some walls and the 08 recession hit. I had made really good decisions up to that point by my first house when I was 20, flipped it, flipped it, flipped it, I broke ground in May of 07. My builder talked to me into not selling the house at all the equity and hold it on to us. So I now had, you know, my existing house and this new house that are both backwards overnight. My stepdad started having strokes. My mom got diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's. And all the pressure and the financial, my almost 20-year marriage at that point started crumbling too.
Starting point is 00:04:16 So my story of how I got here is I had an interesting childhood. You know, my single mom raised me until my stepdad came into the life, did a really good job with the programs that I was given by, him and by society and then crashed and burned at like 42 years old and went to work for a national training organization CCN I'd been a long-time member they reached out say hey Sean you've had a lot of success you know your stuff wanting you come be a coach for us didn't have anything else to do at the time so I did that and again long story because I want to get to the meet for for listeners here I went to work for CCN I worked from for five years I had 70 companies I was working with I knew the information that
Starting point is 00:04:58 they knew the information. But best process, best practice without the best mindset limits the results. And so that's what started to me really looking for like, how can I find a tool that will close? And we talked about it. And Bob Proctor taught me this. So knowing doing gap, business owners know better. They know what they need to do. And yet, why don't they do it?
Starting point is 00:05:16 And so I found Bob Proctor's material. It was September of 2019. I went to my first seminar up in Toronto. Couldn't even really afford to go there. The time honestly paid him a bunch of money, signed up, and heard him talking on the stage about these concepts about you're only in control of 5% of your day. 95% of it is a subconscious mind. Your program from the way you put your pants on, the way you hold your hands, and the way you think. Your name is a program. It's a paradigm. You know, I got told I was shown over and over
Starting point is 00:05:44 and I accepted it. But I also got told a bunch of other bullshit that isn't true and isn't mine. So I believe Bob, you know, he's standing on the stage at 86 years old. He's saying, if I'm healthy, I'm We've got friends all over the world. If you want to live like I live, Sean, and there was 300 people in the room. I didn't think he was talking to anybody else. I heard Sean. And I listened to him, and so I dove into his material. He had 4,000 global consultants in the first six months.
Starting point is 00:06:07 I was in the top 20. I stayed there until he passed four years ago. And then met this beautiful woman, actually. And she started pushing me back then that you need to do your own program. Well, I'm a very loyal guy. I'm like, I'm not going to take what Bob's taught me. I have my own information I've added to our program. after he passed, we're like, let's do this.
Starting point is 00:06:27 It's time to create it. So we created the inner blueprint. And it helps anybody with Mindset, but because I've been in the home improvement and home services type business my entire life, I'm like, let's stick here. And so, yeah, today we've been coaching contractors on Mindset for six years.
Starting point is 00:06:44 Kail and her and I met at a personal development training in the fall of 2020 after I had just kicked off the business. And he started begging me to work with him. And I was like, I'm not doing that. I don't think you can handle me. Well, and she had some mindset to talk about it. I mean, like her... I had limited beliefs about it. I mean, my
Starting point is 00:07:01 dad, some people's parents have different hobbies. My dad's was getting married and divorced. So I, and he would bring women into his businesses and then he'd end up selling them and getting divorced and all the things. And so I was just like, I never want to do that, right? I'd worked for husband, wife, teams before and I was like, okay, I'm not doing that.
Starting point is 00:07:17 But I did take it on and before that I was in sales, marketing, I was a competitive tier coach for 17 years because I was a competitive gymnast and a competitive cheerleader prior, you know, growing up. And, you know, even, it was so funny. When we started dating, he had me take the disc. And his mentor said, stay away from this one. My mentor, and I'll just give a shout out to Graham Masmania. He taught me the disc profile. And so when I was single, it was a 40-year-old for five years. He's like, Sean, and he's telling me which dating apps have the best profiles. Like, this,
Starting point is 00:07:48 this dating app has this many questions you have to ask. You're going to get a thorough, but you have to let me screen them for you. And so I did. I had her, I kind of tricked her. So this is the work I do. And this is one of the surveys we take. And so she took it. And yeah, I kind of got a warning from Grant.
Starting point is 00:08:00 But it was great because I actually did love that because I'm certified in multiple different rate. Like that was something that is really, I'm passionate about behavior and human behavior and what drives us and all of that. So I, you know, left my sales job, came working with them full time. And I was like, if we're doing this, like, you've got this wealth of knowledge. Like, no, it's not Bob Proctor. You've also, you know, mentor with jazz.
Starting point is 00:08:22 can filled, you have someone with Wayne Dyer, and then industry-wise, you know, Charlie Gendell, like, just Richard Kaler, some of the greats in the home improvement business or industry. Yeah, legends of the home improvement. Yeah. So I'm like, you, it's time. It's time. We, well, if we're going to do this, let's do this. Well, and she came into my life. I mean, literally, how, how many years were you in chair? Like, as a coach, like 20 years? 17, yeah. Yeah. Well, with being a cheerleader way longer. So when we talk about limiting beliefs, you know, in about 2014 to 17, when I was going through it,
Starting point is 00:08:52 I believed I was a shitty dad. I believed that was a shitty husband. I believed I was a shitty business owner. And I had a lot of limiting beliefs, and they get created. We can talk more about it, but by hearing it over and over by emotional events. And I went through some challenging emotional events. And when I met her, I'd been affirming, I'm a great husband. I'm a great brother.
Starting point is 00:09:09 I'm a great dad. I'm a great business owner. And she has got such that cheerleader energy that, like, you know, a couple months in a day. And she's like, you know, you're a really big deal. And I wasn't comfortable with that. I'm like, no, I'm not. Like, yeah. Remember what I just told you all this shit I'm going through?
Starting point is 00:09:23 Like, that's not a really big deal guy that goes through that. But yeah, so we kind of combined when she came on board. I saw it in her. I'm like, you know, we need some of this energy. I've got good material. I'm a really good coach and really good at pushing people. But you're going to kick their ass. And, you know, as soon as you got on our calls, we run group calls for multiple different.
Starting point is 00:09:41 We've got men's groups, women's groups, sales reps, leaders in the home service, home improvement industry. And we always say at the end of every call, if you need a hug, text me. If you need a kick in the ass, text Kael. Yeah. So that's kind of all over the place. It's crazy. That's a little bit of a story of how we got to where we are today. It's so true, though.
Starting point is 00:09:59 Like you talk to people and you know what you're supposed to be doing, but I will say some people don't. Some people walk into their office. They were great at being a technician. Yeah. And they don't have a clue on how to read a balance sheet. They didn't have a clue on how to be a leader. They don't have a clue on how to give that a boy.
Starting point is 00:10:15 You're a good person. And I see myself, I don't have any kids. Yeah. But I'm a dad to a lot of people. Yes. Yes. And I just got to say I see the best in you. I don't call them out.
Starting point is 00:10:25 I call them up. And when I look at people, I'm like, I try to see the best in them. But I tell them all during orientation, I'm going to learn to love you. But the first thing you got to learn to love yourself. You've got to think you're worth it. Yes. And you're here for a reason. It took one out of a hundred people to find you.
Starting point is 00:10:44 You've made it. This is it. You don't need to look any further. You guys got an A plus. All you got to do is keep it. Yeah. And so, but it's hard to get through to people. So you guys are big into kind of learning.
Starting point is 00:10:55 I think the five language is the workplace. I've taken every freaking test out there. And I'm like, you know, I read all this stuff. The problem is with me is I'm, I will say, I don't think my ego is super strong, but I do think I deserve it. I do think everything coming. So I've never had a really big problem of believing in myself and saying, if they could do it, I could do it.
Starting point is 00:11:18 I look at Elon Musk. I'm like, wait a minute. but also I want to be happy in the process. So I don't want their life. You get out of balance, yeah. Yeah. Well, I will say I'm not balanced on purpose. I worked really hard because my parents divorced because of money.
Starting point is 00:11:30 Same at some level, yeah. So you learn there's some rejection. Tony Robbins is really good at this, but you got to reframe it. That's it. The framing is where the framing and looking. I work with Dan Martell for a long time. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:43 And he goes, I'll just tell you guys a story. I'm curious because I want to dive. Like, we let's go deep. He goes, well, you've made a lot of money. I'm like, I've done very well, Dan. I'm really proud. And he goes, well, let's start buying back time. Let's figure out how much you make per hour according to your next cell.
Starting point is 00:12:02 And we did the math. And I'm like, holy cow. He's like, well, you got a driver, right? And I'm like a driver. Why would I have a driver? How much of an idiot would I look like coming to work with a driver? He's like, but what could you do while they're driving? He's like, that's 11 hours a week.
Starting point is 00:12:17 Yes. He goes, what about a chef? What do you like to cook for yourself? I'm like, Uber eats. He's like, dude, you need your health. And so, like, he's walking me through this, but he got me to look out of a different lens. Yes.
Starting point is 00:12:30 And when you could do that with people, you could change their lives forever. It's the power of perspective. And what you're talking about is something I'm very passionate about. It's something I actually introduced to him is borrowed belief. I believe in people more than they believe in themselves, right? It's this borrowed belief. I'm going to believe in you.
Starting point is 00:12:47 You borrow my belief in you. in you until you believe it yourself. There's a challenge in that though and Caitlin experienced in her personal relationships and she always says now that you can't marry potential because no matter how much you believe in like well women do believe they could change people I will say there's an amazing thing that says I could I could work with this I could make yes but even even men and without you haven't taken our diss with the motivators I'm pretty sure you're pretty high individualistic means you're very competitive but I'm the most competitive son of a bitch you'll ever
Starting point is 00:13:17 me. There it is. I actually, I will say this. I hate to lose more than I like to win. Yes. And so, so you just, you explained it too. So you see that potential on everybody, but if they don't have that motivator, even when you're trying to transfer belief, if they don't believe it, like you say, you made it. I'm going to love you, but if they don't love themselves, if they're not motivated, like some people, some people are motivated by winning. Some people actually don't mind losing. And that's a hard. No, I'm like, you know what people tell me they're like, can't you just have fun to play? Like, I was, like, kicking my niece's
Starting point is 00:13:50 ass in Candy Land. I'm like, they're like, why don't you take it easy on her? I'm like, well, she's going to learn when she beats me to have some pride in it. Yes. But I'm like, dude, I practice two times a day in football, five days a week to play one game. Like, I want to win. I don't play the game, but I learn more from losing than winning. I will say that.
Starting point is 00:14:06 Yeah, no, it's true. That's funny. He always tells me, he's like, your favorite term is everything in the competition and like everything. Well, it's funny to go back. So my mentor had her take. The disc and the motivators and he told me she's 100D you like you gotta be careful here, right? But her number one motivator was that individualistic. So she's competitive.
Starting point is 00:14:25 So and not manipulatively, but guess what if I needed her to do something or I wanted to do something? I just told her she couldn't do it. Because if I tell you, you can't do something, you're going to prove 10 ways to Sunday how you can do her. Oh, yeah. And that's where like, and again, we're mindset coaches, but we use the disc and motivators because if I'm trying to build a team and I've got a leadership team and each one of them has this individual motivators, if I understand those, I can motivate them individually different with the deep, it's like, you know, to me, having the right disc and the right motivators, and it is a combination with those two. It's like looking under the hood. Like this person interviews well, and they sound
Starting point is 00:15:00 perfect. They sound like a salesperson. They sound like a technician. But what drives them? What motivates them? Yeah, you got to understand. Do you guys believe in Jesus? Yes. I think you guys came into my life at the right time. It always does. I don't ask for it. It's just weird. We're here in the house, and this is like the perfect timing because they've been thinking about this stuff, keep going. Yeah. No, well, let's go back because I want to talk about perspective a little bit
Starting point is 00:15:23 because... That's what you're talking about, perspective. We're talking about perspective because you have to reframe things. And reframing is psychology for changing perspective. And I learned about perspective from Mr. Wayne Dyer.
Starting point is 00:15:32 Yeah. Like I, you know, through all my challenges, I really leaned into a lot of spirituality and a lot of what people call New Age. And I say new age is a term people use for things they don't understand. And Wayne Dyer would always say
Starting point is 00:15:43 when you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. And people say, oh, that's so wooey. Well, I found out years later that Wayne got that from a quantum physicist, and there's a blind light envelope where they take two rays of light and they put it through an envelope,
Starting point is 00:15:58 and depending on where they observe it, it goes from an infinite ray to a single point. And when you take a person and you put them in a box, you take endless potential and make it a single point. And so when we're talking about perspective, it's literally science.
Starting point is 00:16:13 I mean, that's the thing. And Bob Proctor, Tom, me this at a high level. He said 50% of what you've learned from me, Sean, is how your mind works. At a level it's not taught anywhere. I mean, I have a business degree. I have, you know, 20 years of training and never said, Sean, 5% of you is conscious. 95% of you is programmed and patterned. Yeah. And how that works. And then the other 50% of it is how do you interact in the physical world? You know, I'm in home improvements with a lot of roofers. They all believe in gravity. It's one of the laws, right? But the law of attraction, vibration, we're 99.
Starting point is 00:16:42 9.9% energy. We vibrate. What makes us vibrate? Our emotions. What creates our emotions? The thought we're thinking 95% of which are programmed. So if a guy is feeling depressed and you consciously say be happy 5% of him says I'm happy 95% of him goes back to his trauma and says I can't be happy. Does that make sense? Yeah, so when we're working with the law of attraction and vibration, it's like okay, you can say you want this, but now you have to feel it. How do you feel it? That's where affirmation work, some visualization to create the program thought to create a better you're feeling, you know, law of polarity, a lot of contrast. There's no inside at your house right now without outside. There's no up without down.
Starting point is 00:17:19 There's no heaven without hell, right? So not to go too deep there, but that's really, when we're talking about the mind, it's not new age, it's not woo, it's like the science. How does the mind actually work? It's in every cell of your body. It's not the brain. We have a little visual that we do in our trainings to teach people. I mean it's not the brain.
Starting point is 00:17:34 Yeah, so the brain is the part of the physical body that sends neural pathways and controls. but the mind, there's no definitive answer where the mind is. Some people say it's your heart, you've got. Yes, yes, yeah. Some people say it resides in every cell of your body. Some people say it's external. When you get hurt, like playing football, when you got hurt, did your body remember where it got hurt?
Starting point is 00:17:57 Yeah. Does it still? Yeah. Yeah, well, I will tell. And people say that's the brain and the physical part, but the mind itself is in every cell. The mind is the mind could heal in almost anything. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:09 You know what I've learned to over time is, I used to take people that you guys probably deal with and think I could change them and you can over time. But then I realized, what if you took A-minus players and turn them into A-plus? It's easier for me to make good to great than okay to good. 100%.
Starting point is 00:18:28 Well, there's another statistic. I actually work with a mindset coach. He's head mindset coach for the University of Texas. Every coach, and he's the one that shared this statistic with me. but he said, Sean, your ritual takes 30 minutes a day for somebody to change their life. 95% of the population won't even do that. Won't do it.
Starting point is 00:18:49 Not even 30 minutes tonight. And that's the challenge of our work. I can help anybody. But only 5%, and again, our ritual to help anybody change their life is 30 minutes a day. It's 2% everything. 15 minutes of good material that opens your mind, five minutes of a goal that stretches it,
Starting point is 00:19:04 five minutes of IMS that make you remember how powerful you are, not create anything new, and five minutes of gratitude. and I've been doing that for six years and everything I lost, I've doubled in happiness and this woman in my new beautiful bonus daughters and the people that we surround ourselves
Starting point is 00:19:19 in the money that's coming, in the house I live in, and it's 30 minutes a day. And so, you know, take this to a business owner who wants to grow his business and he starts hiring a bunch of people and the people get in his way. And then he gets in his way
Starting point is 00:19:32 and every single person I described only 5% of them is trying to do anything and 95% of them is doing the same thing they've always done at some level. It's, yeah, it's... Well, it's pretty chaotic. I think about my dad.
Starting point is 00:19:47 He's an amazing guy, super funny. But things always went wrong. And I'm like, but he always found somebody worse off, which is weird how people do that. Yeah. And I always say success leaves clues and you can find people. And if you want to change your life,
Starting point is 00:20:05 I'll show you how good of a golf for you are. Show me your five golf buddies, four golf buddies. Yes. you how good of anything you are. Show you how good of a dad you are. Let me see the guys you hang out with. Or women. But the fact is that if you're going to the strip club all the time,
Starting point is 00:20:17 you're probably not the best dad. You're probably not the most loyal partner. Yes. And there's certain characteristics, but it's very hard because the first thing, and I didn't go through a 12-step process, I know a lot of people that did, but admit you have a problem.
Starting point is 00:20:29 Yes. And that's called self-awareness and emotional intelligence. And very few people have that. It's weird that I don't, like, you watch people and you're like, do you even realize? like which you're not even smile you never smile you never make eye contact you never believe in yourself you like when I go to the doctor if they didn't look at me and they didn't have confidence they said well you know I well I think uh you know they they look at me and they say here's what we're
Starting point is 00:20:54 going to do yes what's closer Walgreens or CVS right I'm going to write you a prescription you're going to go fill this up today okay yeah and that's what I want to treat people like because I'm the doctor when I enter the garage door yes whatever I do yeah when I talk to the people and it's taking time to get this confidence level, but I know my shit. And that's the deal is like, but I realize there's certain people that are super smart, their IQ gets in the way their yes, their success. Very true. Logic, you know, logic is the thing that gets in the way a lot is they never want to get started. Yep. And again, I don't know, this is like, our program is, is four months, weekly calls going to the material, but every pillar of belief you have,
Starting point is 00:21:33 there's a set point. And when I talk about mindset, it's two words for us. Where's your mindset and logic? Let's talk about logic, right? Because if we have the belief of logic, there's freaking crazy up here and there's logical, practical, won't do anything right here. And you have to change that
Starting point is 00:21:50 if you want to get different results. You know, I always use Sir Richard Branson and his story of Necker Island. Yeah. I got a bunch of his books over there. That guy's crazy, right? His step point on logic. To me, he's brilliant,
Starting point is 00:22:02 but it's like, where's your belief? And then you think about money. It's one of the biggest things we work with business owners on and sales professionals. Everybody has a step point on two areas of money. First, what it is, if you were told it was the root of all evil, it's hard to come by, it doesn't grow on trees, Sean, and your 95% is filled with that. So now 5% of you saying, I'm going to build this $10 million company.
Starting point is 00:22:22 You're not even comfortable with what money is. So I, quick reframe for listeners, it's energy. It's currency. We call it currency. I got a fun tickets. Fun tickets. And do you feel better with more fun tickets? And can you do more good for people? Absolutely. Yeah. So then the second side on the belief of money is what's your set point?
Starting point is 00:22:41 Everybody in mathematics gets programmed over and over and over again. Zero is a set point. Zero is a set point. Well, in zero is a set point, 500 bucks feels like a lot. A thousand dollars feels like a lot. So I work with people on raising their set point. See, I'm like, wait a minute. A billion? That's nothing. See, you're in a conscious confidence some level, which is somebody who has really good mindset through life experience. But most people don't get that. I'd love, I haven't heard your full story yet. But, you know, Bob Proctor used to say, make your annual income your monthly. And he didn't mean physically do it. He meant create an affirmation. You know, if the most you've ever made is $100,000, and you want to make $100,000 a month, you just start saying, you know, for me,
Starting point is 00:23:19 my first goal when I started my consulting agency was I wanted to be a million-dollar, PGI inner circle mindset consult and making $83,33,000 every single month as I help people remove self-loatun beliefs and live their best life possible. I said that every day until that seems small and our business surpassed. And some people
Starting point is 00:23:36 surpassed without the mindset work. Obviously, we've got people all over the industry. Those are outliers, yeah. They're outliers. I mean, how many business owners you know that have done $3 million a year for 20 years and they tell you they've been a business
Starting point is 00:23:46 for 20 years? No, they haven't. Richard Kaler, the founder of CCN, would say someone like that has done one year of business and repeated it 20 times. Yeah. But he didn't understand
Starting point is 00:23:54 what I now understand. They're just running their program. They're just running their paradigm. It's 95% of what they're doing. You're telling me, If you're okay, do a hand exercise with me to show. And for listeners, if you're, if you're driving, don't do this. But if you're somewhere where you're just sitting down, just take your two hands,
Starting point is 00:24:10 don't think about it and clasphom together. Okay, your subconscious mind just did that. You didn't have to think to do that. No. And you look down and tell me which thumbs on top, right or your left. The right thumb is on top. Okay, so just move one finger over till the opposite and squeeze and see what that feels like. It's different.
Starting point is 00:24:26 And do you want to kind of go back at some level? Yeah, we go like this. If we told you to clathom again, would you automatically go back to how, he did it oh yeah always it's like uh you know who uh chris voss did this he goes oh yeah now go like this bang bang no no no no keep your thumb like this oh big bang like this bang like bang bang bang bang bang bang bang and he he's like i got to practice this i'm keeping my thumbs without going like this it's like so he says you got to practice it's one of those things where you got to uncondition yourself.
Starting point is 00:25:03 So here we're talking about just moving our fingers and we're so programmed that's hard to move our fingers. And yet you're telling me you're going to get up 5 a.m. eat only chicken and rice, drink a gallon of water today. Your mind is programmed to do the same thing. So in order to do different things, that's where, I mean, affirmations,
Starting point is 00:25:19 I literally have had people make fun of me. Sean, you're the guy that teaches guys to chant affirmations. I'm like, it's the only way to reprogram the mind. And the mind does reprogram the brain. I will separate that. But literally, you know, if I have somebody that's never worked out and they want to start working out, I will tell them for 30 days before you go to a gym.
Starting point is 00:25:33 You say every day, I'm so happy and grateful. I exercise for 15 minutes a day. Because the mind will accept anything you give. I always say I'm a long distance walker now. Yeah. Like I've got to put that, this is who I am. I am this person. Yes.
Starting point is 00:25:50 I am. The I am statement is the most powerful statement on. Yeah. And it's not a fate. Like I've got to actually believe that this is my DNA. And another thing that I got to do, is, you know, right now a bunch of, I've got accountability partners. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:05 And I said, we're going to read, um, atomic habits. Oh, great. And so we're reading that again. And I read it several times, but I'm, I'm like, what habit? How do you create a habit? Well, the real deal to create a habit is, it's very interesting for me because, like, you've got to make the time for it. This is what I'm the king at of, like, putting the schedule.
Starting point is 00:26:30 and then I need to make, what does this say? Read this out loud, the black one. Keep your commitment? Yeah. So if I make a commitment to you guys versus myself, I'm going to be more committed. So if I commit to you, I'm going to do something and you're going to check on me and I'm going to say, hey, you're, you guys are people of your word, aren't you? Yes. So when you make a commitment to me, you're going to keep it, right?
Starting point is 00:26:52 Absolutely. We're going to make sure that we keep each other honest. Yes. And we're going to keep our commitment. So what are we? So then I need you to sign off. and I need you to tell me that we're committed. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:02 And when I say you're a person of your word, that just added so much more. Yes. And that's why I like accountability partners. Because I could lie to myself. Listen, I'm the best liar to myself you guys have ever seen. Night Tommy is not the same as morning time. Night Tommy sets his alarm at 4.30 a.m. Things are going to go to laps in the freaking, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:27:22 Oh, I do. Well, again, I love we're going all the place. But think about accountability. because in our mastermind groups, and we can talk more about how we do them because I do them very specifically to create the power, the true power that Napoleon Hill used to talk about
Starting point is 00:27:35 of a mastermind, but we create accountability and business owners especially, they're the least accountable. They change the rules. You just said it, taught me. They don't. And so in our groups,
Starting point is 00:27:48 you know, if you work with us, you get an accountability buddy in the group, and then Ms. Kalen are kicking the ass, every call, because we do the same time every week, we haven't missed that same time that for six years, we're consistent. She's lighting your ass up. Like, we literally provide accountability for a lot of owners that aren't very good at accountability when they start with us.
Starting point is 00:28:08 So that's, to me, that's a huge thing, is who are you being accountable to? And, you know, for most people, they don't have the willpower to be accountable to their self, but we do, I mean, it could be this simple. I'm accountable. I am accountable. And I say that every day. And going back, I mean, I really want to get this information to listeners. your mind will accept anything.
Starting point is 00:28:28 Have you ever known a beautiful person that thought they were ugly? That was not possible. They had emotional events or were told they were ugly. If a beautiful person can believe they're ugly, we'll believe anything. And that's the thing that...
Starting point is 00:28:39 Even a skinny person could believe. Body dysmorphia. Yeah. It's real. So everybody could agree that the mind will believe anything. So if it'll believe anything, why aren't you telling...
Starting point is 00:28:49 Let's feed it what we want. I want to be assertive. Like, I'm not 100D like her. I was a low D. My dad was a 95D. He was my business owner originally, and he was a better salesman to me. And when I was having my original talks with my mentor,
Starting point is 00:29:02 I was like, Grant, I wanna be a 90D like my dad. I wanna be, and he doesn't understand mindset and doesn't do this type of work. And you know what he said, he said, Sean, you were born this way and programmed by the time you're eight years old, you'll never change it. Just accept you are, hire good people to do the things you can't do.
Starting point is 00:29:16 Well, since finding Bob, and I say, I'm assertive, I'm direct every single day, I've retaken the disc a few times. She still thinks I'm cute when I think I'm being assertive, because she's a hundred. And if I get to a 60, I'm still not assertive compared to her.
Starting point is 00:29:31 But I'm way more assertive and direct today from saying every single day, I am assertive. I am direct. And because the mind will believe anything, guess what? It believes me. And once it believes you,
Starting point is 00:29:43 instead of you fighting your 95%, now your 95% is pushing you. Hey, Sean, you've been saying you're assertive. This guy's trying to mow you over right now. You better push back. Like, to me, that's the, you know, Bob Proctor used to call it upside down, mind to heart.
Starting point is 00:29:55 inside out to the outside. We don't create from the outside in. And most of those are programmed, especially in, sorry, I'm talking too much. No, go right ahead. In the construction world, we are taught to build it, to do it on the outside. But like right now, in our masterminds, we create the power trifecta, better finances, better health and wellness, better relationships. And everybody tries to build relationships with the other person, the money in the bank account, by doing the work, the healthy body by doing the gym, are now taking the pillar of the shot, right?
Starting point is 00:30:25 But that's a reflection of what's inside of you. And the analogy I used for this is, you know, this morning, if I was brushed my teeth and I got toothpaste on my shirt and I saw it in the mirror, would you rub the mirror, Tommy? No. You wouldn't rub the mirror. You would change the shirt. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:39 And yet all of us, all day, every day, see a reflection of our belief about ourselves in our bank account. See the reflection of ourself and our relationships. See the reflection in what we look like and how we act. And we don't change the shirt. We try and fix it on the outside. outside, an inner blueprint and the way that Bob taught me to approach the mind is you have to build the program and you do it through the rituals of saying the big goal every day
Starting point is 00:31:04 out loud, saying the affirmations, we won't talk about today, but the power of writing it down. Oh yeah. Writing affirmations. There's science. Really writing, not typing in a Google doc. Now, not type on your phone, like pen to paper, old school, get, because your mind can't focus on anything else but the pen and paper. You can't write a sentence and think about everything else you have to do.
Starting point is 00:31:22 It creates extreme focus, right? Yeah, it does. Well, and it's, if we go back to that where you said, I'm, where you said, I'm a long, well, the walker, right? You said, you're a walker. And that repetition, repetition, repetition. So our mind is programmed only one of two ways. There's only two ways that our mind is programmed through traumatic event or an emotional event.
Starting point is 00:31:43 Could be trauma, could be great, you know, just an emotional event. Or spaced repetition of thought. Doing the same thing over and over and over and over. And that's why affirmation. are so powerful, right? That's how you see change is when people do the things over and over and over, and then all of a sudden they're a new person, but not a new person,
Starting point is 00:32:00 they've just reprogrammed their mind. They've reprogrammed neural pathways. And that's, it's simple, right? But most people don't do it. Most people don't do it. And it's funny, like, especially with men, I'll say, you know what? You need to work on yourself image. You need to say some positive affirmations in the mirror. I'm not going to look in the mirror and say, I'm beautiful. Well, all day, you're negatively
Starting point is 00:32:19 of vermining yourself that you're ugly, you're a piece of shit. Like, people negatively do off. information automatically and yet they're not willing to take five minutes to say some positive ones it's it's it's the potential of my work and it's the most frustrating thing in the world you have somebody sitting across from you at a table telling you how broke there telling you how their wife won't touch them and it's like bro you can fix this from the inside out and I'm saying no I can't that sounds too hard I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing you know it's interesting I just when you said assertive and direct yeah I got this thought because I had a couple of
Starting point is 00:32:52 I've got a couple guys I work with in the private equity and they're like, let's face it, Tommy Mellow, you're non-confrontational. And I looked at them and I said, if you're confrontational, I never want to be like that. Because I don't have to be. No. I said, number one is I want feedback. But I watch these people and it's, I see the opposite spectrum. Now, could I be more in this? But I'm not, I don't, I don't ever get moat over. Yeah. Like I have ways to confront. Like listen, you have no idea the wrath of my confrontation, but only three to five people will hear it. Because if I was that way with the 1,300 people that I work with and every single time. Nobody would work for it. No, no. I don't look up to that. I don't look up to the, it's almost like a egomaniac psychopath. Yeah. Yeah. And I'm like, you're a narcissist.
Starting point is 00:33:44 And not about the people I was with, but I look at those people. Then they go, that you only give constructive feedback, but you never give yourself any. I'm, my own worst enemy. I'm always like, I could be better at this. I need to work on this. And who do what do I do? I hire people. And I hire the best. I'm good buddies with Robert Chuddy and he wrote the book, Influence. Yeah. And the dude's a wizard. I mean, he's 80 years old. He's beat a lot of things. He's beating cancer right now. And I don't know why, but everybody says yes to me, but they say, I just know that if I teach you this stuff, you're going to use it and you're going to do it. Well, again, people that are used to trying to teach people stuff and they want to implement it,
Starting point is 00:34:20 it's really refreshing to get in the room with people that'll actually do it. That's, well, you know, what I've always learned is, I want your legacy to live. I'll always give you credit on every stage. This is not my own. Like, I'm never going to say this is, and you gave credit to so many people just not. Proctor, Jack, like, everybody that's ever taught me, you know, in personal development, they say none of it's original. Like Napoleon Hill and Thinking Grow Rich is kind of the original source for a lot of material,
Starting point is 00:34:44 but I still give it. Like, I'm the same way. It's like, you know, if somebody gives you. Dale Carnegie. Yeah. I go back to him all the time. Yes. No, it's so much fun.
Starting point is 00:34:52 And I love, like, I really want to work with you guys and learn how to personally profile a little bit. And not because I only need to hire winners, but because what if I could pull the best on a people? That's that. I mean, I did a call yesterday with a young sales rep who's got a good profile, a DC. D.C.s are tough. They can be great. They can be. They can be.
Starting point is 00:35:13 D.I. are what most people lean towards, but if you get a higher D. and a mid-C, one, they're going to be better with paperwork. But they have that assertiveness. But that doesn't matter. And this kid has like an 80 out of 100 social, some mother Teresa. And before he started this job for this roofing company, he was working in ministry work and do a non-profit. So I'm not giving up on him. And his owner's not.
Starting point is 00:35:37 His owner paid to having my program. And we looked at his money that's called the utilitarian. It's like a 40 out of 100, which means he doesn't value time and it doesn't value money. But what does that really means? He doesn't value himself. and within her blueprint, I can take somebody who has good behavior. I mean, Kaelin is a perfect example actually. She is a hundred D.
Starting point is 00:35:56 She's like, what, an ADI? Perfect salesperson. Her utilitarian was like, was it 30? It was low. When I met her, she was going through a divorce. She was a single mom working five jobs. And in Salt Lake City, she was driving all over hell's half acre. And I'm like 80 utilitarian.
Starting point is 00:36:16 I do value time and money. even when I beat myself up, I still valued. And I'm like, babe, like, can we, like, create some order to this day? Instead of you going from Bountiful to Draper to out here, so I had her start working on her belief about money and a belief about herself. And she is very utilitarian now. Like, she's a walking testimonial in her blueprint of, here's somebody who was powerful but didn't value themselves and didn't value their time.
Starting point is 00:36:40 And now she does. Do you, you know, I talk about my success. Like, this is my next book's going to be all about, like, family. family and friends, faith, fitness, finance, future self, and fun. And I might have missed one, but most billioners I meet are not happy people. They're crying in their Ferraris. They're literally never fulfilled. And my mom has asked me before, but I'm always, like, the reason I have this house
Starting point is 00:37:06 is this me and my fiancee, never been married before, no kids. She's never been married. She's a lot younger. Is this full tonight? There was a lot of good people here, yeah. It's filled tomorrow. It's filled Saturday and Sunday. And it's filled most of the days of the week. And I like to be around people.
Starting point is 00:37:23 I was alone a lot as a kid. And I don't, we didn't buy this house to say, look at us. We bought this house because we wanted to share memories and moments. Yeah. And then build relationships. And I think that's the most important thing. Oh, 100%. And I do appreciate the fun tickets.
Starting point is 00:37:38 Yeah. And time is the most important thing on the planet. And I can't wait to be a father. And I can wait for her to be a mother. And it's the best journey, man. I just know. Yeah, it is. Like, I don't want.
Starting point is 00:37:48 You're already a good man. And the second you hold that baby, you want to be a better man. It's like, oh my gosh. The days are long, the years are short. Yes. I'm ready to go, man. The nights are even longer.
Starting point is 00:37:59 This is a good one that's hidden, though, because you do meet a lot of wealthy people that have a lot on the outside. And because they didn't have it on the inside, they worked really hard to try to self-validate on the outside. It's a little bit my story. My rags to riches was not working on my paradigms from my,
Starting point is 00:38:16 I mean, my dad left me twice by the time I was five. And we left the second time he left my mom pregnant. It was like literally she was in the hospital, I had my little sister. And so that gave me emotional event. There must be something wrong with me. I'm not lovable. My dad leave.
Starting point is 00:38:28 And then my mom's single scarcity. You know, my mom actually would always tell me, Sean, you have wine taste on a beer budget kid. And I'm like, okay, I just want a pair of Nike's mom. But through life, even the best of us, you're always told you could do better. You're always told you could do better. In school, even if you got A's,
Starting point is 00:38:44 now they want kids to get like A, pluses and shit and get college credit. 4.3. Like, I'm like, they broke the scale. But what the subconscious mind hears is I'm not enough. And so when you meet somebody that's wealthy, they've tried to build wealth
Starting point is 00:38:59 to prove to themselves that they're enough and you can't build it on the outside. I'm a first-hand example of that. And so, and these are three affirmations if a listener takes and it sounds cheesy, but I say it every day and I encourage people to say it, I'm enough.
Starting point is 00:39:15 I'm all. enough and I've always been enough and if you build the self-love and the confidence and the wealth on the inside it's still cool to have cool shit but it matters less because you know you know we have another saying I'm not a human doing I'm a human being I'm not from mr. Jack Canfield the author of Chicken Soup for the Soul right he's like your program to do do do do and you look in the home services we got a bunch of people that are action takers, but if you're just action taken and you build a business and you have all this cool shit, they have a hard time retiring because they don't know what to do. And so the process of inner blueprint
Starting point is 00:39:53 is learning to be more and then to learn it to be enough without the stuff. You're still going to work hard. Like Tommy, you're never going to stop being. No, yeah, that's interesting because you talk, like I met Gina Wickman. I've ever been on the podcast twice. And he goes, we're in a U.S. company. He goes, Tommy, I sold EOS. I own 13 and a half percent. And he goes, I've got more money than most people I know. Yet I woke up with this emptiness and this void. Isn't that where Sean came from? His book? Shine is all about this. Shine is like kind of his story of inner blueprint, man. That's exactly it. And I know so many people that tie their ideas. identity up to see me I'm like I'm gonna stay busy but I never want to lose like the minute you reach a
Starting point is 00:40:44 certain age and AI is gonna fix this in the next 10 years but you reach a certain age and you're like it starts to go like if you don't exercise yes and you hit 72 and you get hurt and you don't get back into it right yeah like you're never going to be the same no so I'm like use your brain but a man starts for meaning right Victor frankl is like I want to have meaning yes and a lot of that meaning is provided through work and help and accomplishment. Yes. And I get accomplished a lot by shooting the better score on the golf course and by being a good dad.
Starting point is 00:41:14 But I like, and money is the byproduct of doing good stuff. It's a way to keep score. Yes. And I'm a scorekeeper. Yeah. I'm like a half. No, you are a process. Scorekeeper.
Starting point is 00:41:21 Yeah. No. It's interesting. It's just interesting to think, though, the people, they sell their company. There's a guy that sold this company for $3 billion that I know. And I met him three years after and he said, I'd give it all. back to have my company back. But I'm like, I got plans for the money, dude.
Starting point is 00:41:40 I'm going to be, and I'm going to be changing lives. You know what I mean? Like that was his whole purpose, right? Yeah. And once he sold that and he didn't have purpose. That's the deal. This is what scares me about AI, by the way. It's like, my, the founder of service study and I were talking in his office and he goes,
Starting point is 00:41:56 I just feel bad for my kids. He goes, because I got to come up. I got to make it. I'm like, I came up from nothing. I'm, you know, he's from Armenia. And he goes, my kids, he's like, number one, they're going to be, I'm going to help them. But, you know, that's always the question. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:14 And the second thing is, AI is going to change everything. We're not going to have to work. Work is going to be an option. There will be universal income. I mean, it's happening. Well, I'm trying to take out of word this because, like, and we have a diagram and obviously on a podcast that's hard to go into the diagram. But it's basically, AI is a really good thinker, right?
Starting point is 00:42:32 It's good of putting things together. It does think. But you know what it lacks? Emotion. And the way our minds work is thought creates emotion, emotion creates action, and action creates result. And most... Well, it does, but the thing is it could replicate
Starting point is 00:42:49 its machine learning. So if it could hear everything, it doesn't know the inner side, but it could actually analyze a billion conversations at once. But it can't create emotion. But what it could do is it could have empathy, because it could sound like empathy, because all is doing is repeating what it heard.
Starting point is 00:43:06 So we're going to go really deep on here. But so law of attraction. It will not be really empathetic. It's not going to know that. But it could say, oh my gosh, I'm sorry your garage door broke. We're the right company that you call today. Because it's learned that through exact. It's mocking human behavior.
Starting point is 00:43:22 When an AI says that, that's the thought. Yeah. There's no human heart and there's no vibration. There's no meaning. There's no vibration. It's science. There's no vibration. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:32 Like the human heart can be measured farther. than the human thought. A hundred percent agreed. That's why the best hotels hire people that actually say, I'm so glad you're here today. Because I can feel that. Yes. And you can't feel AI.
Starting point is 00:43:45 It's analytical. AI is all based. Sorry, I don't want to go to wrap home on this. No, I know, no, no, no. It's interesting. I like these conversations because this is the real thing we're talking about in real life today. Like Tony Robbins has an AI coach and he can say all the words, but he doesn't get the energy.
Starting point is 00:43:59 Have you listened to the Alex Hermal see Tony Robbins podcast? I listen to parts of it where here's what I love, the parts that I listened to is when he said, Alex, he's like, you're not living. You're beating yourself up. He's being analytical Alex, which is logical, practical suffering. And the fact is, like, I looked and I listened to that and I go, man, you know what's crazy people like, do you know how to turn it off? And I'm like, you have no idea I'm going to turn off.
Starting point is 00:44:28 Like, I'm with my dogs, like my doggies. Yeah. I'm like Huckleberry and Finn. And I'm like, I'm literally like people are like, do you sleep? I'm like eight hours a night minimum. They're like, what? I'm like, yeah, that's a priority. I'm like, dude, I'm going to get now it's like the top priority.
Starting point is 00:44:45 Yes, with longevity and yeah. Yeah. Well, also like I used to lie to myself because everybody did. I could do good on five and a half hours. It was like it was almost like this narcissist. It was like, I could do great. That was me literally to a team. Now I like my sleep is I am.
Starting point is 00:45:02 It's sacred. Yes, and I protect her sleep more, because we'll get into the male-female, but yeah, I'm an early riser. She's not, and she used to try to be an early riser. Like, stop it. Like, stop it. Just sleep. I was like, I'll only do you want.
Starting point is 00:45:13 Well, Brie is a early go to sleep and a late riser. Women do need more sleep than that. She looked it up. She showed it to. She tries to keep me awake, and I'm like at 5 or 6 a.m. sleeping in, and she's like at 11 or midnight. So when I first met her, I was like,
Starting point is 00:45:30 I was single, I was going to bed at 9 o'clock, waking about 4.30. and her and the girls get home from cheer practice at 10.30 a night, and I'm waiting up for it. I'm like, how's this going to work? But I've shifted. One thing to, just think about this, because we talk about the set points. The program we're all given is 65 is a retirement age. Statistically, insurance companies track this.
Starting point is 00:45:50 When somebody retires, they end up retiring with a few years after that. So Bob Proctor. They die. They die. Yeah. Retire to the ground. They retire. They retire life.
Starting point is 00:45:59 Yeah. And I don't know this. This is like hearsay, but I've heard of that. heard that the original 65 retirement age was said because that's when a worker is going to die and done being served of you that's that's retirement it's like you work until you die Bob Proctor was 86 when I met him and he taught me this concept and I adapted it and anybody that works with me I want you to stay every single day you're a happy healthy 100 years old some people have such a paradigm because they I mean I lost my mom at 63 to early onset Alzheimer's
Starting point is 00:46:25 I last my last my dad just a few years older than that neither one of them ever drank ever smoke it was lack of purpose and some of the mindset things going on. They missed out. No, I'm kidding. You're right? They did not enjoy the ride. They did not.
Starting point is 00:46:40 I don't know if you know that's my mantra Tommy, but I came up with them and I went, I really enjoyed this. Enjoy the rides. That's the thing. Like, literally, I will say, this is like Wolf of Wall Street. I've been rich.
Starting point is 00:46:49 I've been poor, I should be rich. It's not. Every time. But it's like, for me, it's like there's so much more because Jim Carrey, and I say this a lot, Jim Carrey said, I wish everybody was rich,
Starting point is 00:47:00 and everybody was famous. they realize that's not the answer. But here's the difference between me. I didn't do this overnight. I didn't play Bitcoin. I didn't win the lottery. No, you. I came up one year after one year.
Starting point is 00:47:10 Worked your ass. I'm 20 years in. And there was trials and losses. It was like this. But, you know, now it's like, I know. Like, when you know, you know, it's like, I don't gamble. I don't get. I don't take huge risk.
Starting point is 00:47:22 I'm not like, man, we're going to go. And one of my buddies said, I said, dude, I like to put my eggs in a lot of baskets. Like most entrepreneurs doing 80 things. and he goes, what if you put all your eggs in one basket? It would overflow. The one thing by Gary Keller. And I said, I'm going to do that. I'm going to put all my eggs in one basket.
Starting point is 00:47:39 Let's see what happens. And so I came up with this phrase, the hustler had to die for the leader to be born. I can't hustle. That is 100%. I need to focus. And I've got ADHD like the most, I'm not this lexit, but the fact is.
Starting point is 00:47:53 Almost every successful entrepreneur has ADHD of someone. It's a superpower, not a liability. Well, if you got Ashley and Breeze my fiance, it's just my EA, super organized. My calendar has, look at the big ass calendar that pre-filled out right there. Everything is dialed. There's a file for everything. I love people like that. I know. So now it's all contained. Now I have everything's in a special drawer. Now me without them, but now I can do 20, I go way faster. Yeah. And I think that people miss that piece. And that's the problem that you guys deal with as entrepreneurs is I delegate.
Starting point is 00:48:31 If I could delegate going to the bathroom, I would. So when you tell me, hey, I need you to do this work, I'm looking like, hey, can actually do my information? Like, you know, but these are things. Jimberl said you can't hire somebody to do your push-ups for you. That's true. The mind is a muscle. And what you need to do is you need to say the first, if this is just my take on one thing
Starting point is 00:48:50 I'll tell you guys. Yeah. Yeah. Is the first thing we're going to do is get you guys a great person to delegate to and teach you to delegate and we're going to own these hours of your calendar. Yeah. Because there's going to be distractions. You're going to get sidetracked and you're going to say there's no time.
Starting point is 00:49:03 Yes. So here's what we're going to do. We're going to give you the power back to you by giving you some time. But you can't fill that time up. Like Dan Martel's like, dude, here's your problem, Tommy. I buy back so much time for you. I guess what happens is. Do you feel.
Starting point is 00:49:15 So, yeah. No, I'm going to, I'm going to really, I think we got to do some more. We should do another podcast. Okay. Love that. And we'll go through some personality profiles. We'll go through, we'll actually do it in the office. Okay.
Starting point is 00:49:28 You can stay here if you want. That's why we have this place. And we'll go into the office and we'll go through a lot of the learnings because I think people that are listening need to really think about, you know, how would you have more success? Because my whole life now is who, not how. That's how to get the right people on the bus. Greatest book.
Starting point is 00:49:45 Right now that is such a hot book about client. Ben Hardy's a good buddy of mine. If you ever want to meet you. Oh, I love to. Yeah. Well, and you said you're reading at Topic Havix and I want to go to that time building thing. Sean, the way he does. does his 30 minutes a day is, he's an early riser.
Starting point is 00:49:58 Like he said, he goes down in the sauna. He does his whole routine. 22 minutes, 170 degrees, cold plunge for three minutes. By the time that's done, I've done my meditation, my affirmation. And then one thing for listeners, so I, six years ago when I met her, I was still broken. And I'd learned through Bob Proctor's organization about this five-minute gratitude meditation by an Austrian monk. It's called a Grateful Day. And there's now one by Sean Foyer called A Grateful Day, because I love Brother David,
Starting point is 00:50:24 but I've been sending people to his. But a grateful day, Tommy, he talks about drinkable water. He talks about the sun coming up. He talks about there's millions of people that don't have some of the things and we're... Eight billion people. All of them would change place to be where I'm at.
Starting point is 00:50:41 Right? And yet we worry about the stupid shit. So five minutes of gratitude and that's part of our 30 minutes today. And if you're listening to this and you don't do anything else, listen to a grateful day every day for 30 days. Now, I did it for five years.
Starting point is 00:50:53 And my life got so... much better and obviously I was doing some of this other stuff but I was using AI and I was like how did five minutes of daily gratitude make my life so good and this is the science behind it five minutes of gratitude every day tells your central nervous system you're safe and I was born in struggle I had a delivery my dad left most people you meet their chest breathing and they're ready to fight something or run from something and to call fighter flight flight and five that's a gratitude, you can't be grateful and thinking about drinkable water
Starting point is 00:51:28 and think about your problems. So gratitude does make you more grateful. And it's funny, Tommy, because I had to dive on this because I'm like, Sean, you speak, like last year I spoke, the James Hardy Summit, I dropped his bombs, and it just didn't land. And I was thinking about the gratitude. Anybody I talked to tells me they're grateful, but 5% of them is grateful.
Starting point is 00:51:45 95% of them is filled with scarcity, not enoughness. If you're in scarcity, you're not grateful. You think there's more available, or you think you're like, you know what I mean? And so that's why I went to travel on, it's like, it's your central nervous system. Like five minutes of gratitude. And now I've taken it on the next level.
Starting point is 00:52:01 Anybody that works with me, they're challenging their subconscious mind. So you get that uneasiness. So we have, I created my own grateful day, five minutes in the morning. And then I've got a grateful night, six minutes that tells your mind to let it go, to be a human being while you sleep, to let your subconscious mind repair. And you believe in sleep, right? This is designed to help people get better sleep. So as you're stretching your mind and thinking bigger and remember,
Starting point is 00:52:26 you create 11 minutes a day of this. Yeah. Well, you've heard the sky's the limit. Oh. Well, there's footprints on the moon. Allegedly. Allegedly. She's a conspiracy theory.
Starting point is 00:52:42 Hey, listen, I get it. I'm a truth finder. She's a fact finder, we call it. You know, this is amazing. I really, really enjoy you. You know, I don't normally call it energy. You guys call it the waves and all that. It's energy.
Starting point is 00:52:53 It's just like I'm really into it and like there's 40 people outside waiting for us. Yeah. Yeah. So we're better. No, well, I was just thinking, um, give me one book for each of you guys that changed your life, minus the Bible. Oh. And Napoleon Hill.
Starting point is 00:53:10 I was going to say, I can't not think thinking of rich. It's not, I'm just going to say this. If you haven't read it and Bob Proctor would always say it's not a book to be read, it's kind of like the Bible. You keep rereading it. You study it. Auto suggestion. Napoleon wrote that.
Starting point is 00:53:23 1938 without the science to back it. Yeah. We now have science to back it. So that's number one. Let me think of number two. Mine, it's a very small book. It's very easy read, the four agreements. The four agreements.
Starting point is 00:53:35 Yep. By Don McGill-Ruiz, I believe. What's that about? It's about the four agreements your life. It is a small, it's like, it's a small book. It's a small read, but it gives you, I know, now that I'm on the spot, God. You say it all right. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:53:51 Be impeccable with your word. Don't take anything personal. And I'm on the spot, so I can't think of the other two. Help me. I'm throwing a blank too. I have it on my desk. No, we should say the four agreements are amazing. I can't think of them right now because I'm on the spot.
Starting point is 00:54:06 But the second I'm off the spot, I'll say it. We're authentic coaches. Sometimes we forget the shit. Four agreements. Be impactful with your word. Take nothing personal. There's something about accountability. And that's my phone not working.
Starting point is 00:54:20 Thinking of which is my number one. Psycho- Cybernetics. by Maxwell Maltz, plastic surgeon who would do literally plastic surgery and fix people on the outside and it only worked some of the time because he's the first to figure out there's two self-images. And this goes along with inner blueprint, right?
Starting point is 00:54:35 Like if somebody looks in the mirror and has body dysphorphymia doesn't matter what they look like. You can get... Yeah, now they're going to keep wanting more surgery. I can get hair plugs and still not love myself, right? Yeah. Like you have to do the inside. And that's a hard book to read. Anyone who's... That's another book to be studied.
Starting point is 00:54:49 Simple books, Price Pritchett, U.S. Squared. Price Pritchett? Price Pritchett. You squared. It's another like pamphal about. It's about quantum leaps in the mind. Just real quick. If you don't read it. Oh, you squared.
Starting point is 00:55:01 Oh no, I got the book on my shelf. The fly story? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. How many contractors are like the fly? I got to get out the window. I got out of the window. That's a quick, that's a little book.
Starting point is 00:55:10 Yeah, the silver. It's a pamphlet. If you get the audio, it's less than 45 minutes. And that's, and the one other one, I'm going to show this one because a lot of people think you grow rich is a lot. Earl Nightingale. Yep.
Starting point is 00:55:21 Has the condensed thinking grow rich. Bob Proctor listened to that every day while he's building this flooring business, floor cleaning businesses, on a portable record player in his car. Bouncing along, skipping. But that's one to listen on repeat. And again, if you find good material,
Starting point is 00:55:38 and this is not logical, you listen to it on repeat. Scripting. You don't need a lot of books. You need the same books a lot of times. Yeah, and that is, you know, I say this humbly and confidently, in her blueprint is specifically designed
Starting point is 00:55:51 every module is 15 minutes or less that when listened on repeat it interrupts your pattern thinking and you know our titles of our modules what do you want what hold you back where's your mindset how does your mind work what are your superpowers who are you these are all questions that interrupt
Starting point is 00:56:07 and if you listen to them on repeat I have sales reps to listen to my module and track their closing rate and just listen to the module increases their closing rate I mean it's good material but anyway about the four agreements what are the four Being impeccable with your word. There it is.
Starting point is 00:56:21 Don't take anything personally. Don't make assumptions. Oh, you make an ass out of you and me. And always do your best. Do your best. Yeah. Oh, I was just talking about this with Rob Anderson. Okay.
Starting point is 00:56:33 So if people want to get a whole of you guys, what's the best way to do that? Oh, what is the best way to do that? We have a website, Sean Foyer.com. And by the way, Foyer is not like it's spelled or like it sounds. It's F-E-U-R-E-R. We're on social media. He's the only Sean Foyer. I'm the only Kate.
Starting point is 00:56:49 I haven't asked the question. Right. That is actually when I met him, I was like, please tell me how to say your name, because I don't want to say it the way I think it's as he said. It doesn't mean later, it means fire. It means fire.
Starting point is 00:57:01 Like that person from Switzerland and Foyer has got like some kind of French. It's a German Swiss name. It means fire. But there's only one Sean Foyer, so that's really cool when people go to look for us. And if you're listening to this and you're outside of the, so up till now, we've serviced only home improvement, home services type companies.
Starting point is 00:57:16 I'm now licensing and certifying coaches. I've got a 30-year therapist that likes in her blueprint better than some of the therapy practice and so he's getting trained right now and so we're actually opening up where we can help people outside of the home improvement business.
Starting point is 00:57:30 I've got my other coach, my good friend Matt Blanchard, who if you ever meet him, Tommy, this guy got paralyzed at 2006. Wasn't wearing a seatbelt and rolled his truck going from southern Utah up north. Jeez.
Starting point is 00:57:41 15 years later, he got to the point where he could take a few steps and was going to walk his only daughter down the aisle. And he's driving from St. George, Utah to Nevada, and a drunk driver comes across the median.
Starting point is 00:57:50 Sage versus knocks his headlights out. Hits him head on. He has a dash camera cord in this. He loses his legs for a second time. Most positive, happiest. I mean, Maddie B is just a ball at sunshine. And he's now, he's been speaking for years. And he could light people up for 15 minutes or an hour,
Starting point is 00:58:06 but he didn't have the tools to help him. He's been studying their blueprint with me, and so he's now starting to coach us. So just a plug, if you're listening to this, you're thinking, well, these guys only work with contractors. Yeah, me and Kaelin are dedicated to contractors, but we're starting to license as really good materials for outside the space. So reach out to us for a conversation anyway. We love it.
Starting point is 00:58:23 Yeah. And finally, we talk about a lot of stuff. I'll let each of you give us some final words that close us out. Oh, wow. We talked about AI and how it could take over, right? But AI is all about the strive for perfection, and humans don't need perfection. They need connection. And that it will be our saving grace. And that is actually what we all need. And so that would be. That would be my final word. I like that. Whenever we're about any of that. It's great. I'm drawing a blank.
Starting point is 00:58:56 I always have one more thing to say. What could be a lasting thing? What did we miss that I want? We didn't dive into the knowing. What about being painfully positive? You know, it's funny. The gentleman that called me that is outside in your yard right now, Kyle Erdman, Kyle and Beckett.
Starting point is 00:59:11 They're a longtime friends of mine and clients of mine. And he worked with me when I was working for CCN and I was a sales trainer and I hadn't dove deep. And he called me a couple years after I started this mindset work. And he was asked me sales questions. And I'm a sales trainer, actually. I know process really well. And so he's asked me questions and we're talking.
Starting point is 00:59:27 And he literally stopped me, Tommy. And he goes, wait a second. He goes, what do you mean what's different? He said, dude, he goes, you've always been positive. But God, he goes, you're like painfully positive right now. It's like coming at me. So painfully positive is just what happens when you remove the limiting beliefs, the bullshit that isn't true and isn't yours.
Starting point is 00:59:45 And you find who you truly are and you're actually brave enough to show up authentically that way, that's painfully positive. And the other thing too is life's not filled with positivity. You know, I go back, you know, I have a mantra, enjoy the ride, which is about enjoying the ups and the downs, and I developed it as I became painfully positive, as I was losing my forever young mom at 63 years old. Early onset, Alzheimer's is one of the most dementia in general, is one of those challenging things. I mean, her body was perfectly healthy. Not a thing wrong with her, and she just started losing her mind and I was divorced, broke and living in her and my dad's basement. And every morning I'd wake up and go work in my office. And I'd hear her fight with my dad
Starting point is 01:00:22 because she didn't know who he was. She wouldn't remember. And thank God she always remembered me. But it was in those moments, I was like, I just wanted to cry. I just wanted to give up, right? And I was tough. And I was like, okay. Some of those days I went to freaking McDonald's and got to McFurray to find a piece of joy. But it was like, I got to learn. And so I went to gratitude. I was like, you know what? If I was still in my past life, married, run the company, I won't be here right now. And I was there for the whole six months until she left and I could get off a call.
Starting point is 01:00:50 I could run upstairs. I could reintroduce her to my dad. So to me, painfully positive, enjoy the ride is we're gonna go through good times. We're gonna go through challenging. And happiness is a choice. A happy life is just a string of happy moments. And I can choose to be happier,
Starting point is 01:01:04 even in the most difficult ones. And again, I've been, you're, what do they call me, a spiritual bypasser who's got toxic positivity? I'm like, fuck you. Sorry, Fuck you. No, I've felt some of the hardest pains a human being,
Starting point is 01:01:18 but I'm not going to let it define me. I'm going to let it, you know, I always say my heart's been shredded and it gets stronger like my biceps do. Yeah. So now it's just really strong. That's it. I like it.
Starting point is 01:01:26 Last words. That was great. Thank you guys for coming on. Hey, thanks for having it. It's so cool to be here in your space doing this, man. That's great. All right, guys, listen, go check them out. I'm going to get a podcast part two.
