So you can steal them from me if you want to. Today, we're going to be talking about how to become a master at something. And this right now is one of the most important things

Starting point is 00:00:45 that I think you can hear with all of the uncertainty, all of the things that are happening in the world right now. The one thing that you have to make sure of is that you're focusing on becoming a master at something. I have the belief that every single person that's on earth, one of the reasons why we're supposed to be here is to find one thing at least and become a master at it. And here's the thing, with the internet, with us being able to acquire skills, you could be a jack of all trades if you want to, but that means that you're going to be a master of none. Or you can find one thing and you can fall in love with it and you can put your heart and soul into it and your family can see you succeed at it. You can finally live up to your full potential and you can finally see what it feels like to literally be the master of something in your life. Whichever route you take, that's

Starting point is 00:01:33 completely your decision. And when you look at all the stuff that's happening in the world right now, all the uncertainty of like, hey, will we lock down again? You know, will we be able to travel? You know, what's going to happen? I have no idea. But with all the uncertainty, you want to be in a place where you can stand firm. The way I like to think of it is like a tree. You know, we just planted a ton of trees in our backyard. They've been out there for like six months and they have not grown at all. And the reason why is because they have to grow down before they can grow up. Otherwise, a big storm will come over and just knock all of the trees down. And so you have to think of it that way. We're kind of in the

Starting point is 00:02:10 middle of a possible storm. And the trees, people, that are going to last and not be toppled over are the ones that have been focusing on putting their roots deep, deep into their ground. That's what knowledge and mastery does for you is no matter what storm comes through, you're going to be good. Because there's one thing that I know is there's a lot of people out there that have, you know, they know many different things,

Starting point is 00:02:36 but they're a master of nothing. And that won't do much for you in life. I know a lot of people in life that are not the smartest people, but they've become massive successes. Do you want to know why? Because they're a master at one thing. The beautiful thing about life is you don't have to be good at almost anything. You just got to be really good at one thing. What is the one thing that you want to be really good at? What is the one thing that you

Starting point is 00:03:01 want to plant your roots down so that if any time, whether it's now, six months, five years, 10 years, 20 years down the road, a big storm blows through like it happened to do last year, you're going to be fine because you're one of those mature trees that has the roots so deep that the storm won't knock it over while all of the other trees fall. You have to plant your roots deep. So you have to figure out where you're going to be. And that's how business is a lot of times too. That's how almost any skill set is. Right now, for me, I'll give you an idea. Last year, if you've been listening to me for over a year now, when we went into full lockdown, you heard me say something similar to this as, hey, this is the time for you to focus on yourself. This is a time for you to focus on growing yourself, growing your business, figuring alternative ways to make money.

Starting point is 00:03:49 I sure hope that you listened to me at that point because that was the perfect time. We had weeks and weeks and weeks of being at home and being at home and being at home. And it could have been spent watching Netflix or it could have been spent developing a skill set to become a master at something. Even if you have no skills at something, but you have this calling of this is the thing I'm supposed to be doing. Now is the time to start focusing on it. Stop fucking around and actually go for it. Because here's what I know is that some people are going to use this advice and they're going to actually figure out what it is that they want. They're going to double down on it, or they're going to start learning, or they're going to get some coaches, or they're going to get some mentors,

Starting point is 00:04:31 whatever it is that they need, and they're going to develop their skills. And anytime a storm blows through the rest of their life, they're going to be okay. Because the world needs people who are masters at certain things. If you're a master at something, you'll almost never go broke. You'll almost never not have a job. Right now is the time to grow your roots deeper. For me, I'm focusing on growing myself massively in three places. Number one, mindset. Continue to work on mindset.

Starting point is 00:05:01 I have my own one-on-one coach that I just hired for the most money I've ever paid another human. But just because of the fact that he's at a point in his life, in himself, where he is where I want to be. So I hired him. In neurobiology, I've hired a neurobiologist to actually teach me more about how the human brain works so that I can get even better at giving you guys great podcasts and putting out great workshops and doing great events and doing great masterminds. Because I want to double down on my mindset. I want to double down on my neurobiology and my skills around the brain and knowing what it does. And then the last thing I'm doubling down on right

Starting point is 00:05:41 now is learning marketing. I have a pretty good idea of marketing, but I wouldn't call myself a master in any sort of way. So I've hired somebody to do marketing with me and to actually teach me exactly what it is they do. Why? Because they're a master at what they do. I want to learn from other masters. What are you doing?

Starting point is 00:06:00 What do you want to master? What could your life look like if you mastered one thing? Not everything, just one thing. It could completely change your life. Now, here's why it's hard. Because it's easier not to do something than it is to do something. So it's easier to watch Netflix. It's easier to get on social media. It's hard to go and figure out what it is that you want. Find a mentor possibly. Pay them if they're going to require payment. And to learn from them. What a mentor does, and the reason why I'm so big on mentors, you guys have been listening for a while, you know I hired my very first mentor when I was 19 years old and I paid him 500 bucks a month.

Starting point is 00:06:41 More than I paid in rent just to have a mentor, but he changed my life. So I'm really big on mentors. What mentors do is they collapse time. You know, if you're trying to develop a skillset, you can go and you can watch YouTube videos and try to get better at it and try to figure it out. Or if you really want to, you can just hire somebody that's five or 10 years past you and have them give you their knowledge. You know, it's like if I were wanting to learn to play the guitar, I've been playing the guitar for 18 years now, but if I were brand new at wanting to learn to play the guitar, I can go on to YouTube and I can learn how to play guitar and how the, you know, how to hold it and how to

Starting point is 00:07:21 make sure I'm in the right place of the frets and make sure I'm in the right place of the strings. And I can learn how to play a G chord and then a C chord. I can learn those things. But if I hire somebody that is a guitar coach, they're going to be there with me one-on-one to be able to make sure that they collapse time, collapsing time. So I don't have to spend five or 10 years trying to master this. I can take all of their knowledge of five, 10, 15, 20 years and make my knowledge shortened to a year maybe before I'm at a skill set that could be decently close to them if I'm really focusing on it.

You're here on this earth to become a master of something. Once again, in order to be successful, you don't have to know everything. You just got to be really good at one thing. There's a lot of people out there, like I said, that I know that didn't graduate college, that didn't get a GED, that didn't go through. I know people that dropped out of middle school. They're not the most intelligent people, but they are really damn good at one thing. And because they're really damn good at that one thing, they have made a massive success of their life. And what they've done is they planted deep roots. They've planted those roots so deep into the ground that no matter what happens,

Starting point is 00:10:52 they're always going to be needed. They're always going to be wanted. People are always going to need their skillset because they are light years above everybody else. Now is the time for you to figure out what it is that you want to do. You can wait another three, four, five years, but I promise you this, it might be too late. And I don't say that to try to scare people. I'm just being honest with you. The world is changing at a rate that we can, it has never changed before at this rate. And if you wait a year, two years, three years before it's the quote unquote right time, because things are really busy right now, I don't know where the world's going to be in two years, three years before it's the quote unquote right time because things are really

Starting point is 00:11:25 busy right now. I don't know where the world's going to be in three years, but I do know this, the people who are doubling down on their skillset, the people who are putting, investing the most time, money, energy into themselves, into their mindset, into their businesses, into their whatever it is that they want to master, their painting skills, those are the people that are going to survive and thrive in whatever the new world becomes, right? I don't know what's going to happen. It's not going to be massively different, I don't think. I don't think we're going to Armageddon or anything like that. I definitely don't think that. I'm more of an optimistic than a pessimistic person. But I do know that it's not going to be

Starting point is 00:12:03 the same way that it was a couple years ago. And I do know that if we're being honest, there's a lot of jobs that are going to be taken by robots pretty soon, just because of the fact that that's the way the world is progressing. There's a lot of jobs that they can literally get rid of. We've already seen it. If you walked into some of the fast food stores, not even just fast food stores, some stores literally don't even have people that you can order from anymore. You just walk in and there's just a screen and you just type your order. Well, that's hundreds of thousands of people who lost jobs across the world because that thing was invented. What's the next thing that could possibly be invented? What is a skill set that you can master that no robot could ever replace? Think about that one for a second.

Starting point is 00:12:43 What's a skill set that intrigues you that you can master that no robot could ever replace? Think about that one for a second. What's a skill set that intrigues you that you can master that no robot could ever replace? That's what you want to double down on. That's where your opportunity is. That's where your growth is. And this should be fun. It shouldn't be scary. I'm not trying to be doom and gloom at all. I'm just trying to tell you the world is changing. What's something that you could just have so much fun learning and mastering and put your heart and soul into? Is it painting? Is it playing guitar? Is it marketing? Is it learning how to make money online? Is it starting an Amazon store? Is it starting a Walmart online business? There's so many different ways. There's a million ways to make a million dollars. There's a million different

Starting point is 00:13:18 things that you could try to master. What is it that you need? What is it that you want? Warren Buffett has a great, great quote that I go by all the time. And I went by it last year. I'm glad that I did just because there was a lot of fear last year and the locking down and everybody really kind of, I would say, instead of feeling expansion, it was more of a contracted feeling. Everybody was real contracted, protective, me, me, me. Be very fearful. And Warren Buffett says, when other people are greedy, be fearful. But when others are fearful, be greedy. And I said this last year during the lockdown, but now's the time for you to figure out who you are, what it is that you want, and double down on everything. When the lockdown

Starting point is 00:14:03 happened, a lot of people got fired, a lot of people lost jobs. And I got with my business partner and I said, we're not going to slow down. In fact, what we need to do is we need to hire more people right now because there's opportunity that's now popping up. We need to hire more people. If you slow down now, you could be left behind. And these are uncertain times, but uncertain times can be a blessing if you let them be a blessing. Obviously, you know, a lot of the stuff that's happening in the world right now, most people are playing the wait and see game. I like to do what everybody else is not doing. I've just found that that tends to work. I just do what other people are not doing. So if they're playing the wait and see game, I'm doubling down. If they're doubling down, I'm going to play the wait and see game. Something that I've learned

Starting point is 00:14:48 is do the opposite of what everybody else in society does. If you do that, you're probably going to be pretty good. So think about that. What is everybody doing right now? They're getting fearful and fearful and fearful and fearful. Oh, that's a sign for me to double down. You know, for me, we're putting a studio in my backyard. So a video podcast, audio studio, putting in my backyard, doubling down on it because I want to set myself apart from everybody else right now. I want to have a video production that's light years above everybody else. Audio production is light years above everybody else. But I can't be fearful right now if that's what I want to do. If everybody else is being fearful

Starting point is 00:15:25 and they're going, oh, maybe I shouldn't invest in myself. Maybe I should see what happens in the economy and what happens with the president and what happens with all the things that are happening in the world. Maybe I should just wait and see. Wait and see for everybody else means double down for me. Double down for everybody else means wait and see for me. I do the exact opposite of everybody else. Once again, when others are greedy, be fearful. When others are fearful, be greedy. Now's the time when people are being fearful. Double down on everything in your life. Double down on the skillset that you want to learn. Double down on your business. Double down on your family. Double down on your relationships. Double down on everything. Now's the time for you to step up your life and finally

Starting point is 00:16:03 get it going. It's this opportunity that I see in front of us that's so special. And I don't want to, you know, I don't want to, to, to downgrade the fact that there's a lot that's happening. A lot of people are going through suffering. So I'm not trying to say that in any sort of way. So I hope that's not coming off this way. But what I'm saying is for all of you guys that are out there and you're trying to make something great of your life and you've been waiting for the right time, you've been like, oh, I'm really busy. I'll wait and see, you know, maybe another time I'll wait and see. Now is the right time. Now's the right time to become a master at something. What is it that you want to become a master at? People in this world need you to step up. Two reasons why. Number one, they can learn from you. And number two, they can see you

Starting point is 00:16:46 and they could go, I love that. Me too. I want to be like him. I want to be like her. You know, seeing her go out and go from, you know, working for a company to running this massive business on her own. I want to be like that. Or it could even be to see her working from a full-time job, then becoming a mother and now starting a successful Etsy shop. I want to be like her. You will inspire the people around you when you finally step up. The question is, are you ready to step up your life? Because the world's waiting for you.

Starting point is 00:17:18 It's happening right now. Now's the time to become a master. There's uncertain times. What you need to do is you need to grow your roots deeper, your knowledge deeper, your skillset deeper in whatever it is. You need to grow those roots deeper because a storm could possibly come. Maybe some storm comes soon. Maybe another storm doesn't come for another two years or three years or five years. There will be another storm. There will be economic ups, economic downs. There will be a bunch of jobs lost, a bunch of jobs gained. That's going to happen.

Starting point is 00:17:48 But whenever the storm blows through, if you take this moment and realize the importance of it and grow your roots deeper and deeper and deeper, you will never be out of a job. You will never be struggling for money and you will never feel like you're not fully living up to your purpose. So that's what I got for you for today's episode.
