Speaker:be able to build million dollar home inspection businesses.
Speaker:I would like to help you be able to do the same thing.
Speaker:Growing your spiritual side is not usually something a business owner
Speaker:thinks about, but if you ever hope to make it out of the 95%, you'll need it.
Speaker:Mike will touch on this in today's episode.
Speaker:As always if you have any questions or want help growing your business, email
Speaker:us at, hello at coach blueprint.com.
Speaker:great.
Speaker:Personalities always develop a characteristic of leadership.
Speaker:It just =happens.
Speaker:Here's one of the things you want to be charismatic.
Speaker:Here's one simple thing.
Speaker:You can do pick up a phone and write a note and curse somebody else.
Speaker:That's it.
Speaker:While you're at your thing tonight, write a note to somebody
Speaker:so pick up the phone and call somebody or write a note, encourage somebody,
Speaker:a man who has made a success has a responsibility to those who are
Speaker:striving to be successful as well.
Speaker:It's that simple.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:And by the way, I want you to understand everything I'm telling you applies
Speaker:to your relationships with the real estate agents or the mortgage company
Speaker:or the real estate attorneys as well.
Speaker:I want you to understand everything I'm telling you.
Speaker:The reason I grew one of the top three largest home inspection businesses
Speaker:across the nation was because I did all of this to the real estate agents.
Speaker:I helped them be successful.
Speaker:I wrote those notes of encouragement.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:A millionaire in money is nothing compared to being a millionaire and
Speaker:friends and everyone can be that.
Speaker:Okay, provided you.
Speaker:Keep those friends when you make them and thoughtfulness and little
Speaker:things is the best way to keep them.
Speaker:It's really pretty simple.
Speaker:So I dare you select five new people.
Speaker:I dare you to develop the fine art of finding, making, and keeping
Speaker:friends by giving genuinely giving of your time and personality to others.
Speaker:That's what this community is about.
Speaker:This community is an anomaly in the world.
Speaker:And I can not tell you the number of people that show up here and go, this is.
Speaker:And I go, yes, it is.
Speaker:Isn't it amazing.
Speaker:They go, I've never seen anything like this, anywhere speakers that come
Speaker:here and speak, Joe sat back there for a whole day and watched you guys.
Speaker:And one of the things he got up on stage, wasn't said, I have never,
Speaker:in my entire speaking career, seen anything like this, where people care
Speaker:about people at such a deep level, don't miss that it's being charismatic.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:So then build character and gang.
Speaker:You know, I love this Aiden, my grandson yesterday, uh, you know, we
Speaker:passed out that little form and it said, who's my favorite superhero.
Speaker:And I was joking a little bit when I put it up there and I was talking to you guys.
Speaker:And by the way, what you don't know was Aiden had already filled out his form.
Speaker:He wrote in there, who's my favorite super hero.
Speaker:And I have a new name.
Speaker:It's called Gramps.
Speaker:Yeah, just, it just, it just blew me away.
Speaker:And he reminded me of something that was in the book.
Speaker:So the, the grandfather is walking along with his grandson and they're
Speaker:walking up to the peak of the mountain.
Speaker:He says, are you tired?
Speaker:And he says, my feet are tired, but myself isn't, you are going to become physically
Speaker:exhausted at some points in becoming.
Speaker:That's where your brain, that's where your spirit has to come in
Speaker:to move you to the next level.
Speaker:Myself is your spirit.
Speaker:Many people try to do everything that we talk about without being faithful,
Speaker:without being true to their inner self.
Speaker:I want you to understand many people try to succeed without thinking of the spirit.
Speaker:And you're only going to get three quarters of the way there.
Speaker:You will never truly enjoy life if you miss that part.
Speaker:So don't, it's your strong a body.
Speaker:Brilliant.
Speaker:A mind magnetic personality.
Speaker:Now we want you to have an inspiration or a cause.
Speaker:And if it's about you, you're going to come up short.
Speaker:It's gotta be about others.
Speaker:It's the biggest secret.
Speaker:If the spiritual life has not developed, it dies and all the other
Speaker:three lives of your life suffer.
Speaker:You know, you have built character when others are willing to stand up for you.
Speaker:I was never so touched as when people started attacking me
Speaker:at one point for this or that.
Speaker:And other people went, you don't have a clue.
Speaker:What you're talking about, go away, you know, in every movie it's kind of fun
Speaker:and you see it in the super Spider-Man trailer, the amazing Spider-Man trailer
Speaker:where Spiderman at one point it's like knocked out and literally almost gets
Speaker:ready to fall possibly to his death.
Speaker:Probably not, but, but they grabbed him and they pull him inside and
Speaker:they lay him down and they take care of him when he needs a breather.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:On the train.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:And in the Superman movie, same thing happens.
Speaker:I want you to know the coolest thing I see about movies is that they, they resemble
Speaker:reality and they resemble truth sometimes at such a level that unless you're, you're
Speaker:looking for it, unless you actually know what you're looking for, you'll miss it.
Speaker:When you have built real character, when others are willing to stand up for you,
Speaker:you know, you've succeeded when your employees stand up for you, you know,
Speaker:When your spouse is willing to stand up for you, you know, you succeeded.
Speaker:Susan's one of Susan's favorite movies is avatar.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:How many of you seen the movie?
Speaker:Avatar?
Speaker:All loved that movie.
Speaker:But one of Susan's favorite scenes is at one point is where the Marine falls
Speaker:down because he's, he's moved out of his body, back to the other, other body.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:And he's laying there helpless.
Speaker:And one guy comes over and he's getting ready to end that guy's
Speaker:life because , he is creating too many problems in their community.
Speaker:And that, that female crouches over him and looks up at him and snarls
Speaker:that Susan, for me, she protects me when I'm not looking.
Speaker:When I can't be looking sometimes when I'm sleeping, you need somebody in
Speaker:your life that will do that for you.
Speaker:And I will tell you one of the ways that happens is that you're
Speaker:willing to do it for somebody else.
Speaker:So all spiritual adventure had Ford's foundation first, the giving of
Speaker:one's loyalty to a living leader, and then expressing it into nightly.
Speaker:If you consider religion something to be put up with, it becomes drudgery,
Speaker:exercise and study, or drudgery to one in the wrong mental attitude.
Speaker:When you consider the building of character or ethics or moral or
Speaker:religion, whatever you choose to call it as an opportunity to grow
Speaker:than the unseen things of life.
Speaker:Take on a whole new significance.
Speaker:The people here at the 1%, these people are significant.
Speaker:See, you don't get to this 1% just because you have more money than everybody else.
Speaker:the one presenters don't necessarily have more money than the 95%.
Speaker:There are a lot of people here that are significant, that
Speaker:will never become millionaires.
Speaker:But I will tell you that when you combine those two up here, the whole
Speaker:world changes into a whole new things.
Speaker:So you want to build character builds, drink, build strength, demands, exercise,
Speaker:mental alertness, demand, study winsome personality, thrives on service and
Speaker:religious growth requires action.
Speaker:What is that one constructive step you're going to take in your
Speaker:life to reach your next part.
Speaker:So we advance only by doing, we advance only by taking action.
Speaker:What's the number one thing you're going to do this year.
Speaker:That's going to change everything.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:. But here's the thing is I dare you to share you're enjoying something today
Speaker:because of other people's sacrifices.
Speaker:I'm here today because of my dad and my mom's sacrifices.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Doesn't that kind of dare you to make good as well.
Speaker:You know, there's the sea of Galilee and the dead sea.
Speaker:And I, and since I've been able to travel to Israel and see them, I have a much,
Speaker:much greater appreciation for them.
Speaker:The sea of Galilee, which by the way, is really a lake.
Speaker:I just, just telling you, but the sea of Galilee basically flows clear and cool.
Speaker:And me and Susan were on a boat and we went across the sea of Galilee we
Speaker:took photos and it was an amazing life-changing experience for us.
Speaker:And then we went to the dead sea and the dead sea is, is brutal and vicious.
Speaker:And I had my favorite Mickey watch, which I wore into the dead sea and it killed it.
Speaker:And I still haven't given the dead sea forgiven them for that.
Speaker:It was really my fault of course, cause I wore it, but I thought, oh, come on.
Speaker:It's waterproof.
Speaker:But the dead sea is 30 plus percent salt.
Speaker:People are walking around.
Speaker:I want you to know people are walking around with 35% salt in them.
Speaker:It's pain it's because they aren't willing to help other people.
Speaker:They aren't willing to go uphill.
Speaker:And all of it stops right here.
Speaker:And this is where all the garbage ends up.
Speaker:The garbage ends up on the radio and the garbage ends up on TV and the garbage
Speaker:ends up in movies and the garbage ends up.
Speaker:And if you're not careful in your life, you have to be going this way.
Speaker:Otherwise you end up in the trash bin.
