with us today. Meir welcome to the show. I'm so excited to

have you on. This has been a very long time coming, but

you're here and we're ready to go. So for founders who are

out there, and I would go so far as to say, like pre

founders, right? Folks who've had some version of success,

but it's not there. It's not checking the box, it's not

enough. So many of them are just buzzing with ideas,

right? You see these. You talk to them every day. They have

tons of ideas, but they don't know where to start. What's

the first thing that someone should do if they're thinking

about starting a business, to make sure that that business

aligns with the goals that they actually have, not just

for their business, but for life and relationships and

everything in between?

Okay, so be first of all, hi. Hi to you. And for

all the listeners, if I look at starting a business, you

need to understand that a doctor is in the business of

fixing bodies, and he study for 789, 10 years before he

can actually do an operation. A person, engineer, learn how

to be an engineer for many years, a driver, learn for

quite a while before he become a good driver. Somehow, people

think that a business is something different kind of

animal, that you can just start it and know what to do.

You need to learn. You need to learn now, most businesses

starting because someone is really good at something.

Let's say I'm a good dentist. So I will say, Well, you know,

I'm going to start a business being a dentist, but being a

dentist is just one area of the business. A business have

seven areas. Every business across the world have seven

divisions, seven areas, and the technical side is one

area. So even if you are extremely good technician or

extremely good dentist or extremely good doctor a

lawyer, you have 14% chances of success, and indeed, most

businesses don't make it because they not learn how to

be a lawyer for seven years, and they've learned how to

market for 27 seconds, if at all, yes. And they've learned

finance for even less, and they learn their relationship

for even less, and they learned about ethics for even

less, and they learned about how are you becoming a

founder? What does it mean to be a founder for even less? So

if you don't know what are the seven areas? That's number one

and number two. If you don't invest in yourself in learning

those areas, chances of success are zero, and indeed,

most companies close within the first five years. And

those that, even those that don't, they close, most owners

of businesses earn less than if they will work at that same

job for someone else. Yeah, so it's not such a good idea to

start a business if you don't know how to run a business,

much like it's not such a good idea to take an airplane if

you didn't learn how to flight. Yes, it's not. It's

just not such a good idea. The crash with an is very fast. In

a it's a matter of the minutes or seconds. The crash with the

business takes a bit longer and costs much more. Yeah,

it's so true. The first thing you need to learn, you need to

know that you don't know.

I love that I love that I love that.

Because I feel like most people just try to skip this

stage altogether, and they're like, there are real reasons

why. I mean, most folks don't start a business because

everything's wonderful, right? Usually, there's some kind of,

like, they're driven to, at at best, to solve a really big

problem in the world, right? At worst, to get rid of their

boss, you know, like they're just trying to, or because

their boss got rid of them. So, like, there are some real

factors that go on here. But. Uh, when you look at here's

the other part of the problem, I don't think most people who

are successful give this season its due, right? A lot

of folks won't say that, because they kind of want to

look like the overnight success, like that that plays

into the story and the mystique and the aura better

and and so one of the things you you don't hear when you

hear a lot of stories, is the season of learning ahead of

time. Yeah, and so, as someone who has done this many times,

as someone who has helped other people through this,

help us to redefine like short run success. How do you

succeed in that learning stage before you make the leap?

So the first thing that I will do, every person

that come to me, I guarantee the success. I say, if you

come to me, I'll teach you how to start your business, or

wherever you are, to fix your business, whatever. If you

don't succeed, we define the result. If you don't get the

result, you don't pay me. I pay you damages. So it's not

that I just give a guarantee that you will not pay me if,

if you don't make the money, I will pay you. But, but you

just need to do what we agree that you will do on time. Now,

prerequisite for doing anything. You have to

understand it. I know it's almost like, why do you need

to say it? You do. Prerequisite is not you don't

need to parrot it. This is different than parroting.

There's one thing to parrot something and there's another

thing to understand something. So the first thing that I do

with any person that I start to work with, I teach him how

to learn, and you say what you need to write, yeah, and you

need to learn how to learn. Why? Because everyone being in

school, no one remember 1% of what they've studied at

school, and every single person that I worked with

don't understand fully what they read or what this they

don't actually understand like the simplest thing. Everyone

wants to be successful. What does it mean? Success? They

can give me examples of success, right? Or successful

people, but they cannot define what is the definition of the

word success. Now, if you don't know what does it mean?

How can you become successful? Sure, yeah, okay, you want a

tomato, but you don't know what is a tomato? How can you

find a tomato between all the vegetables? You have to have a

definition of what is success, and this not example of

successful people. And this is just one, one word, what is

money? Everyone know well money. They know what currency

is, but what is money? What is marketing? What is a

salesperson? A salesperson is a person that sell no not even

close. A salesperson is a person that helped the

prospect to help himself with my product or services, which

mean I never tell myself, people sell more. I tell them,

help more. Yeah, because helping the prospect. Now, if

you understand that you actually a salesperson, is a

person that help the prospect, your viewpoint change totally.

Because, okay, so how do I help him? Well, I need to

understand him if I want to help him, etc, etc. So the

main The first thing I do, I teach people how to

understand, yeah, like how to learn. How do you can

understand it? How do you get an understanding of anything?

So nothing is complex. If you need to learn Excel, and I

need you to learn how to do X lookup, how do you learn it in

such a way that it's easy? You do it while you, while you're

sleeping. How nothing phase you? Yeah, if you can learn

anything, nothing will faze you. You know, most of the

people know the story about the if you give a person a

fish, you will have a meal, but if you give him a fishing

rod, he will have a job. Yes, no. If you give him a fish,

you will have a meal. If you give him a fishing rod, he is

now your slave, but if you teach him how to learn, he can

do anything he want. He can he can learn any profession, and

he can improve. Otherwise, he's just a fisherman forever

and ever and ever. So the first thing, the first thing

you need to learn. How to Learn. It sounds almost

unbelievable, but that's what's missing for most

people. They cannot learn. So they don't learn, even if the

past, even if they are doctors and the past exams, they

didn't actually learn. They can do the job. They mimic

like children, mimic the parents, and they can parrot a

lot of words, but they. And actually learn, yeah, and this

is amazing, amazing. Amazing because I said that the only

reason people are having problem in life is because

they're operating on what I term fake reality. What is a

fake reality? Fake reality is a piece of information you are

100% sure it's correct, but when you use it, it doesn't

bring the expected result. You're 100% sure it's correct

to drink to solve your problem, but you drink and it

doesn't bring the expected result, your problem grows and

it didn't become smaller. Yes, so anything that you do that

don't bring the expected result is a fake reality. You

cannot see that you have fake reality, but you can see that

you don't have the expected results. So you need to know

that when you don't have the expected result, you're

operating on a fake reality. And it is time start working

and start looking and start digging and finding out. Okay,

what don't I know? What don't I know? Always I don't know

how to learn if you have fake reality, means you

misunderstood something because you don't know how to

learn.

Yeah, wait, I love that so much, because

what it highlights is the humility that's necessary to

succeed, right? And if you don't get this now, you will

be force vetted, you know, multiple times throughout the

rest of the journey. So I love that. I couldn't agree more. I

think it's the perfect opportunity. I it to so to the

extent that I agree with you, that it's a superpower, once

you have it right. And when you look at founders who who

get there, either, you know, consciously, or just by like

life, handing it to them for long enough and them staying

upright long enough. You know, it's profound, what founders

can do and how they can adapt and what they can learn at

later stages because of this. Now, the question that I have

for you, because we've talked a lot about people jumping too

soon, but there's this equal but opposite problem where

folks don't jump at all, right? It's just, it's, it's,

wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, and we never really make the

leap. So for someone who has the idea that they but they're

lacking the confidence that they need to bet in

themselves, what's a tool that you have or that you've seen

that is helpful in helping build that confidence to

actually make the leap and bet on themselves?

What I do when someone lack confidence, the

only reason he's there is because he had the step that

he used he needed to move from here to here, and the step was

too big, and he failed. And after you failed, you will

have a doubt that is the result of too many failures. I

go to a lady, and I said, you want to go out? And she said,

No, I got to another lady. And she said, No, I got to another

lady. She said, No, I have failure after failure after

failure. When the next lady show up, I go to my friend, I

say, why don't you go? I will not ask her anymore, because I

had so many failures. Why do you have a failure? Because

you step too fast, too high, always assuming that you've

learned the next thing that you need to understand, that

you need to do steps at the gradient, at the size that you

can chew. So what I'll do? I will see, okay, finding he

wants to start a business, and he cannot start a business at

the moment, he's stuck in doubt. So I go back and ask

him, okay, good. What can you do that regards to the

business? Let's define the product. Okay, like 100% you

know what you're going to sell. Now I want you to just

draw for me, or doing different demos of how this

thing going to work. And I sit with him, and I get him to

just imagine it and draw it and imagine it and draw it. I

mean, imagine it. Android can draw the business and all the

possible problems and all the possible solutions. And

sometimes it takes few weeks or few months until he's

really, really can do all of that. And how do I know that

he actually can do because he's starting the business,

yeah, yeah. Because the law is, if you can look at

something, really look at something, you will control

it, and control equals income. Control equals income. If I

control how I get the income from the car, in that case,

the income of the car is arriving safely and fast and

comfortably. If I control my children, I have children that

contribute to society and not becoming drug addict, if I

control my wife, then I'm a magician, but that's a

different thing.

Oh, my goodness. All right, there's

been so much in here to unpack already, especially for folks

that are that are in this stage. But. Good my ear. I

want to before I let you go. I've got one more question for

you, and then I want to make sure folks know how they can

get in touch with you and learn more about what you guys

do at guaranteed prosperity. But the question is this, what

is the biggest secret that you wish wasn't a secret at all.

What's that one thing you wish everybody watching or

listening today knew?

That people are actually good. People are

actually so good, and every bad action they do is because

they just don't know and they try to solve the problem

incorrectly. But then I say that I define a sin as a

action that create damage in an effort to help, in an

effort to resolve a problem, every single person that I

worked with, regardless of how bad the action that he did

was, because he was good, and the only thing that saved that

person is because I could see that he's Good, and I was not

impressed by his bad actions. Try to impress me by his bad

action, because this is really sitting very heavy on him. But

I still did not find one person that's really bad.

Every bad every person that doing bad action. I've seen a

lot of bad actions, every person that doing bad actions,

if you will check, you will see his good if you check

anything that you did that you are not 100% a proud of, you

will see that you did it in an effort to resolve a problem.

You just didn't know how, so you did something that created

the damage. But if you knew exactly how you wouldn't. So

because people cannot learn, they cannot actually solve

problems, and because they cannot solve problems, they

commit sins, and then they convince themselves that they

are bad, and because they are bad, they're cutting the

power, and because they're cutting the power, they don't

try, and they're going into this dwindling spiral

deterioration. And really what, the only thing that you

have to work with with people is that they're actually good

despite all the bad well, and if you understand that, if, if

you know that it is no situation that you cannot fix,

because if you just insist that the person is good,

things will be magical. And I say that people are a little

bit confused, because machines you fix by finding what's

wrong with them, people you fix by finding what's right

with them. Wow. And if you know that, you really help,

you really bring an improvement, and you need to

know about yourself and about others.

Yeah, Meir there's folks listening, and

it's just the right word for the right moment. It's exactly

what they needed. And they'd like to find out where they

can find more, where can they find more about you and the

work that you do?

unique name. Fantastic. You will see me and ton and ton

and really a lot of free content, but valuable, and

really valuable, you just need to it's not just hype. So for

people that try the hype and are ready for results, if you

look at what I'm doing, it requires understanding. You

cannot just look at the at what I'm saying and say, Oh,

that sounds nice. It's not. You really need to confront

what you read to really understand each and every

word, and then your life will change 100% no question asked,

and next to the ton of content that we have, I think we have,

if I'm not mistaken, at least 50,000 success Stories on on
