00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.790
Stop worrying about what people think of you.

00:00:03.930 --> 00:00:05.519
'cause no one's really thinking of you.

00:00:08.490 --> 00:00:14.970
You know, most people are obsessed with themselves thinking about themselves, and they're really not thinking about you.

00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:19.350
So don't worry about what they think of you.

I'm your host Louis Hernandez, and today I'm excited to have Mike Weber on the show.

00:01:15.129 --> 00:01:18.909
Mike is the force behind slow burn entrepreneur.

00:01:19.478 --> 00:01:25.569

Please join me in welcoming Mike Weber.

00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:33.968
Mike, welcome to the show.

00:01:34.808 --> 00:01:35.679
Thanks for having me, Luis.

00:01:35.739 --> 00:01:36.248
Appreciate it.

00:01:36.728 --> 00:01:37.088
Yeah.

00:01:37.539 --> 00:01:41.049
So Michael, let's let's let everybody know a little bit more about yourself.

00:01:41.049 --> 00:01:42.129
What's your origin story?

00:01:42.129 --> 00:01:44.289
Where what, got you to where you are now?

00:01:45.308 --> 00:01:45.789
Yeah, sure.

00:01:47.078 --> 00:01:52.239
From Cincinnati, Ohio, went to the Ohio State University, current national champions.

00:01:52.243 --> 00:01:52.534
Yeah.

00:01:53.438 --> 00:01:54.938
You saw that beat Notre Dame pretty handily.

00:01:55.209 --> 00:01:55.418
Yeah.

00:01:56.888 --> 00:02:05.453
And kinda went back and forth between wanting to be a doctor and, wanting to get outta school as quick as possible.

00:02:06.293 --> 00:02:25.104
So I did, four years at Ohio State and then I, moved out to Hawaii to teach scuba diving and I was gonna finish my degree out there, but I made a good, responsible decision as a 23-year-old young man to drop out after another semester and a half.

00:02:25.104 --> 00:02:29.033
So I had five and a half years of school and no degree to show for it.

00:02:30.114 --> 00:02:31.764
Dropped out, became a beach bum.

00:02:32.604 --> 00:02:33.834
On the north shore of Oahu.

00:02:34.313 --> 00:02:38.033
Learned to surf a little bit, taught some surfing lessons with my buddies out there.

00:02:40.223 --> 00:02:46.044
Was actually working as a lunch lady at a preschool at one point in order to pay the bills.

00:02:46.524 --> 00:02:52.433
So I was working three jobs out there just to remain as of each bum on the island.

00:02:53.183 --> 00:02:56.424
And I was recruited, one of my buddies taught a surf lesson to.

00:02:57.264 --> 00:03:05.783
These guys that were recruiting out there at BYU Laier, they were recruiting return missionaries from the Mormon church to come sell door to door.

00:03:06.623 --> 00:03:11.183
And they decided it was a good idea to, to recruit me and my friend who were teaching the surf lesson.

00:03:11.843 --> 00:03:25.644
And so they, brought us to a dinner at the nicest resort out there at Turtle Bay Resort, which is in a bunch of movies, and recruited us to come out to Detroit, Michigan to sell door to door the summer of 2008.

00:03:27.489 --> 00:03:29.199
And I took, the bait.

00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:30.218
I thought it sounded great.

00:03:30.248 --> 00:03:35.528
And, my buddy actually stayed in Hawaii and still is there to, to this day.

00:03:35.528 --> 00:03:43.088
But I ended up starting my kind of jump into sales and entrepreneurship back then, 2008.

00:03:43.088 --> 00:03:55.209
So this will be my 18th year in sales and now it's it's my company and we train our guys to sell door to door roofing and solar.

00:03:56.949 --> 00:03:59.438
In California and in Colorado.

00:04:00.038 --> 00:04:00.818
Oh, wow.

00:04:01.359 --> 00:04:01.508
Yeah.

00:04:01.538 --> 00:04:04.838
Wait, so that, it's the same company you went out to Detroit for?

00:04:05.348 --> 00:04:05.889
Oh, no, sorry.

00:04:05.889 --> 00:04:09.549
So I sold, alarm systems around the country for five years.

00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:10.239
Oh.

00:04:10.868 --> 00:04:13.778
In 40 different cities in 13 different states.

00:04:14.979 --> 00:04:22.088
Sold in across the Midwest and then the East Coast and down across Florida, Texas.

00:04:22.088 --> 00:04:23.348
Wound up in Colorado.

00:04:24.218 --> 00:04:31.598
And built offices in, San Jose, California, Houston, Texas, and Denver for a DT security.

00:04:32.048 --> 00:04:40.629
And then one of my buddies started a roofing company in 2013 and I sold roofs for him for two years, 2013, 14.

00:04:40.629 --> 00:04:41.918
Kinda learned the roofing game.

00:04:42.939 --> 00:04:52.088
2015, got into solar, so basically realized out in Colorado the roofing game was getting a little crowded.

00:04:53.004 --> 00:04:55.163
And figured out how to get into solar.

00:04:55.403 --> 00:04:57.353
Me and a buddy moved out to California.

00:04:57.863 --> 00:05:00.144
We started a solar marketing business in 2015.

00:05:02.064 --> 00:05:08.274
Went through a couple business partners, but basically just all hardcore door to door sales, selling solar.

00:05:08.934 --> 00:05:12.084
And then in 2019 I partnered up with my current business partner.

00:05:12.923 --> 00:05:14.184
He brought the roofing knowledge.

00:05:14.184 --> 00:05:15.983
I brought the solar knowledge.

00:05:16.463 --> 00:05:21.774
We got our contractor's licenses, and we have a roofing and solar company now.

00:05:22.343 --> 00:05:24.653
Name, summit Solar and Roofing since 2019.

00:05:25.884 --> 00:05:29.843
And we have locations here in Southern California and in Denver, Colorado.

00:05:30.024 --> 00:05:30.473
Where you're at?

00:05:31.074 --> 00:05:31.463
Yeah.

00:05:32.124 --> 00:05:35.934
Oh, so you guys must have knocked on my door at least once, twice.

00:05:35.934 --> 00:05:36.649
Oh, I hear me.

00:05:37.134 --> 00:05:38.394
Yeah, it happens all the time.

00:05:38.454 --> 00:05:38.843
That's great.

00:05:38.848 --> 00:05:38.858
Yeah.

00:05:39.624 --> 00:05:39.923
Yeah.

00:05:40.014 --> 00:05:45.504
That's a great, I've done door-to-door sales in past lives as well.

00:05:46.103 --> 00:05:48.624
It, you really, it's a really good skillset.

00:05:48.653 --> 00:05:50.874
You really learn quite a bit.

00:05:51.473 --> 00:05:52.043
Absolutely.

00:05:52.793 --> 00:06:03.744
But I've never really thought about it in the sense like, like you have for, I guess this is a segue to be like a slow and steady business, right?

00:06:03.923 --> 00:06:07.343
You, knock on doors to get business for that day, right?

00:06:07.343 --> 00:06:07.584
Yeah.

00:06:08.934 --> 00:06:15.473
So, how did you start thinking about this as like a, a slow and steady type of business?

00:06:16.598 --> 00:06:18.548
Yeah, so I guess I talk about this in the book.

00:06:18.548 --> 00:06:21.939
I had two mentors over the last 10 years.

00:06:22.538 --> 00:06:30.519
One was a guy, he was my boss, one of my good friends at the roofing company that I worked at for two years in 2013 and 14.

00:06:31.209 --> 00:06:39.218
And his motto was the, speed method, the go as fast as you can, recruit, as fast as you can build it.

00:06:39.608 --> 00:06:42.038
And who cares if it collapses kind of thing.

00:06:42.939 --> 00:06:45.338
And then do it all again the next year, right?

00:06:45.338 --> 00:06:50.829
And so he would have this turn and burn mentality where it was just this constant revolving door.

00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:55.119
If the guys didn't stick around, he wouldn't pay'em.

00:06:55.119 --> 00:07:07.838
He would suck all the profits out of the business, basically just use people and spit'em out, and then have to do it all again the next year, which to me was just exhausting and didn't seem like a great business model.

00:07:08.963 --> 00:07:12.444
So I had another mentor that met out in Hawaii.

00:07:12.444 --> 00:07:15.983
I sold some pest control for him 12, 12, 13 years ago.

00:07:16.163 --> 00:07:18.504
And he's been mentoring me since 2020.

00:07:19.704 --> 00:07:35.814
He's now built the largest pest control business in Hawaii, and his method is more empower people, pay people well, and create kind of loyalty, create like a family almost amongst your employees, your staff.

00:07:37.178 --> 00:07:44.108
And me and my business partner Dave, have adopted that approach where we do empower people.

00:07:44.108 --> 00:07:45.728
We do pay people really well.

00:07:47.259 --> 00:07:48.459
We, do profit sharing.

00:07:48.459 --> 00:07:54.848
We save a lot of our profits to give back to our employees at the, end of the year, and also as quarterly bonuses.

00:07:55.389 --> 00:08:04.689
And so we've created a lot more loyalty and a lot more retention among our staff that is just much more sustainable, much less stressful.

00:08:06.699 --> 00:08:09.038
I think it's the right way to build a business these days.

00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:10.689
Yeah, I agree.

00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:18.069
That how what, so when you're doing a, business like that, though, initially it's hard, right?

00:08:18.848 --> 00:08:26.889
You, oftentimes when you're not giving, when you're giving the profits back to the team, it means that's less for you, right?

00:08:27.309 --> 00:08:31.358
And, at the beginning when there's just not as many profits to be had, you're building it right.

00:08:32.528 --> 00:08:34.958
How, did you go about getting through that phase?

00:08:38.229 --> 00:08:48.818
I think there, there were, I guess tight months in the first few months especially since most of what we do now is insurance restoration Roofing.

00:08:48.818 --> 00:08:50.798
So insurance is pretty slow pay at times.

00:08:52.359 --> 00:08:54.519
Sometimes you have to wait six months to a year to get paid.

00:08:56.469 --> 00:08:57.609
And I think we just.

00:08:59.693 --> 00:09:08.153
We had been in it for so long that we trusted in our ability to go print money essentially when we knock on doors.

00:09:08.754 --> 00:09:15.443
And the initial leadership team was me, my business partner, Dave, and a guy named Thomas.

00:09:16.043 --> 00:09:24.594
And we had all been in, I had been in door to door at that point for 11 years, Dave for six years, and Thomas for six or seven years.

00:09:24.594 --> 00:09:27.354
So we trusted in our ability to go out and just.

00:09:27.774 --> 00:09:29.604
Print money, knock a door and get a deal.

00:09:30.923 --> 00:09:38.543
And, we were able to feed ourselves while building the business and still saving in profits to, to build the business and to give back to the employees.

00:09:38.543 --> 00:09:40.403
So Excellent.

00:09:41.183 --> 00:09:45.984
You get to a point, you're so good at it, you can have the confidence to do it, yeah.

00:09:46.043 --> 00:09:47.004
And yeah.

00:09:47.813 --> 00:09:53.453
And then you go about getting others and teaching them how to become as good, if not better than yourself.

00:09:54.173 --> 00:09:54.384
Correct.

00:09:54.384 --> 00:09:55.764
So you can replicate that.

00:09:55.823 --> 00:09:56.303
Excellent.

00:09:56.903 --> 00:09:57.173
Huh?

00:09:57.173 --> 00:09:57.594
Absolutely.

00:09:58.764 --> 00:10:02.844
So what else do you mean by, by slow Burn Show.

00:10:02.933 --> 00:10:03.413
Tell me.

00:10:04.374 --> 00:10:12.563
Another, did it require, that, that requires a big mindset shift, right?

00:10:12.563 --> 00:10:25.418
So do you have like examples of some of those, like where you went from the traditional way, like the other mentor you had, always recreating the wheel to, the slow burn method.

00:10:25.839 --> 00:10:30.038
And, what were tips to develop those mindset shifts?

00:10:35.318 --> 00:10:43.418
One of the biggest ones was my, first mentor was he thought he could do everything on his own.

00:10:43.899 --> 00:10:45.759
Very, he ego driven.

00:10:46.719 --> 00:10:48.219
It's all on my shoulders.

00:10:48.849 --> 00:10:51.938
I gotta stay constantly on the phone, constant meetings.

00:10:51.938 --> 00:10:57.578
I gotta micromanage everything because everybody,'cause I'm smarter than everyone and I can't trust anybody to do it.

00:10:59.708 --> 00:11:03.938
And I think part of that is just learning to let go.

00:11:04.629 --> 00:11:11.769
'cause I'm very type A myself and I, can at times be micromanaging and be tough on people and.

00:11:13.104 --> 00:11:14.484
Learning to let go.

00:11:14.543 --> 00:11:16.614
Number one is, the big thing.

00:11:17.573 --> 00:11:28.374
Not be ego driven and always be searching out other like coaches and mentors who can help you with your decision making and your strategy and all that stuff.

00:11:31.073 --> 00:11:34.793
Yeah, one of it is just I hired a coach.

00:11:35.004 --> 00:11:39.173
I sought out a coach, and this is something that he never did.

00:11:39.744 --> 00:11:49.104
My current mentor always does is looking for new coaches, looking for new people to get advice from, whether it be Vistage groups or EO groups.

00:11:51.144 --> 00:11:55.494
And I, sought out a coach from John Maxwell Group.

00:11:56.994 --> 00:12:02.844
2018 they partnered me with this guy that had a big accounting background and it just wasn't, it wasn't a good fit.

00:12:03.293 --> 00:12:05.933
So I told him like, okay let's try to find somebody else.

00:12:06.864 --> 00:12:13.494
I found a guy that he had built and sold a business, and now he's just a coach.

00:12:13.974 --> 00:12:16.014
And he's, been great.

00:12:16.073 --> 00:12:23.214
His name's Mark based outta Orange County here in Southern California, and I've had him since, 2000, I think.

00:12:23.214 --> 00:12:26.813
End of 2018, so going on seven or eight years now.

00:12:27.683 --> 00:12:27.984
Wow.

00:12:28.884 --> 00:12:29.214
Yeah.

00:12:29.214 --> 00:12:34.884
And so having a coach, we, he brought us to EOS.

00:12:35.649 --> 00:12:36.783
Dunno if you're familiar with e os.

00:12:38.009 --> 00:12:38.168
Yeah.

00:12:38.168 --> 00:12:42.609
We've had a, I forget what it's called, when somebody who installs a program.

00:12:44.318 --> 00:12:44.828
Implementer.

00:12:44.979 --> 00:12:45.908
Implementer, yeah.

00:12:46.239 --> 00:12:47.798
On the show in the past.

00:12:47.798 --> 00:12:49.568
It was one of our best episodes actually.

00:12:50.259 --> 00:12:50.318
Yeah.

00:12:50.318 --> 00:12:50.798
Okay, cool.

00:12:50.798 --> 00:12:52.803
So we had an implementer for all of 2019.

00:12:55.058 --> 00:13:01.359
You pay him the equivalent of an admin salary,$25,000 basically to be an A fractional CEO.

00:13:01.808 --> 00:13:02.078
Yeah.

00:13:02.769 --> 00:13:03.698
Is how I describe it.

00:13:04.808 --> 00:13:09.609
And we, have stuck with that since 2020.

00:13:10.538 --> 00:13:12.308
We've self-implemented EOS.

00:13:14.408 --> 00:13:22.208
We attribute EOS to a lot of our success on keeping the processes and keeping the rhythm of the meetings and the business going.

00:13:23.469 --> 00:13:23.979
Oh, neat.

00:13:24.698 --> 00:13:25.208
Yeah, that's good.

00:13:25.208 --> 00:13:26.889
So you've been able to keep it going.

00:13:26.889 --> 00:13:34.869
Do you check back in with them every once in a while, like once a year or something like that to, or is it totally self-managing that process now?

00:13:35.288 --> 00:13:52.644
We actually brought in another implementer this summer and we weren't very impressed because he he did a lot of the beginner stuff and we were we're six years into it, using us and he was trying to bring us back to the beginning, the beginner stuff.

00:13:52.644 --> 00:13:57.923
And we've already done all that, so we kinda decided to keep self implementing.

00:13:58.464 --> 00:13:58.974
Interesting.

00:13:59.183 --> 00:13:59.693
Oh wow.

00:13:59.813 --> 00:14:00.203
Okay.

00:14:00.504 --> 00:14:05.328
Sounds like you guys can start an EOS implementation business you sell, right?

00:14:05.798 --> 00:14:06.089
Yeah.

00:14:06.678 --> 00:14:06.969
Okay.

00:14:07.999 --> 00:14:08.288
Yeah.

00:14:08.964 --> 00:14:09.474
Very good.

00:14:13.433 --> 00:14:20.063
Yeah you've learned some of that process meant learning to let go getting coaches.

00:14:21.653 --> 00:14:40.313
Any other big mindset shifts you've had to, take on to, to reach this level of success or, I think, I, would say.

00:14:41.754 --> 00:14:47.994
Slowing down and I, meditate now and I, I try to meditate twice a day as much as possible.

00:14:47.994 --> 00:14:54.653
And I think that's a big part of,'cause I'm very a DD I'm very distractible.

00:14:54.984 --> 00:14:55.283
Yeah.

00:14:55.614 --> 00:15:02.663
And I would always try to start side businesses and try to, chase squirrels, I guess you'd say.

00:15:03.114 --> 00:15:10.344
And the meditation has allowed me to be able to focus on things for longer periods of time and be able to think more long term.

00:15:11.364 --> 00:15:25.673
I think when you're not thinking long term, you make a lot of wrong moves that are based on short term trying to capitalize on the profit as fast as possible which is what my buddy unfortunately tried to do all the time.

00:15:26.423 --> 00:15:36.624
So it's, more thinking, long term thinking okay, can I sustain this for five years and if I can, great.

00:15:36.683 --> 00:15:38.813
That's, it's a good routine and.

00:15:40.644 --> 00:15:43.823
It's a way that I can build a business for five years now.

00:15:44.333 --> 00:15:48.833
So instead of thinking out just for a season or a year out, yeah.

00:15:49.553 --> 00:15:50.094
That's great.

00:15:52.734 --> 00:15:57.803
Going into, when you mentioned meditation, that's a, like a personal development tool, right?

00:15:57.984 --> 00:16:07.943
And before the show we were talking about running a little bit and clearly these are both things that I think go well with slow burn entrepreneur.

00:16:09.234 --> 00:16:09.833
Mindset.

00:16:10.433 --> 00:16:15.774
It's absolutely, especially running it's your classic slow and steady as a race.

00:16:15.774 --> 00:16:17.844
I know you're a, long distance runner.

00:16:19.494 --> 00:16:28.974
Are there other regular practices like that or can you talk a little bit just about how running has helped you with, slow running entrepreneurship?

00:16:29.903 --> 00:16:30.024
Yeah.

00:16:30.024 --> 00:16:31.313
I talk about this in the book a little bit.

00:16:32.453 --> 00:16:36.264
And I always, when I'm running, I carry a voice recorder with me.

00:16:36.369 --> 00:16:56.859
Nice voice recorder, and I'm, constantly reflecting on the, previous two or three days mostly thinking about the business, thinking about how to, move people around or what, where could we go next with this person?

00:16:56.859 --> 00:17:00.908
What are the resources that we have in order to take on this project, et cetera, et cetera.

00:17:00.908 --> 00:17:03.788
So constantly just reflecting.

00:17:04.523 --> 00:17:09.413
On the business while running, and a lot of times I'll re-listen to my coaching calls.

00:17:10.703 --> 00:17:23.034
I'll record our, level 10 meetings that we do through with EOS and listen to those calls during my long my long run on the Sunday, on that Sunday.

00:17:24.144 --> 00:17:26.963
I get to reflect on a lot of things.

00:17:26.963 --> 00:17:31.523
So it's just a lot of, it's like a snowball effect of.

00:17:32.334 --> 00:17:47.483
Wisdom and experience that builds up a lot faster if you're constantly reflecting on, what you're doing throughout the week versus just trying to put out fires throughout the week and not digesting and reflecting on what's happened that week.

00:17:48.894 --> 00:17:58.523
So I think it's, it sounds cheesy, but it's kinda like a superpower that I've already thought out a lot of the interactions that I'm gonna have.

00:18:00.413 --> 00:18:07.193
The coming week through my reflections, through my voice recordings that I do on my Sunday long runs.

00:18:07.824 --> 00:18:08.903
So yeah.

00:18:08.903 --> 00:18:10.193
That's a great tip, man.

00:18:10.253 --> 00:18:16.358
Just keeping it, is it's I've tried to do that with my phone, but it feels, it's so big and bulky and I don't like to carry a Oh, yeah.

00:18:17.034 --> 00:18:18.084
A phone when I'm running.

00:18:18.084 --> 00:18:19.314
So is that just.

00:18:20.509 --> 00:18:24.729
You showed it to us, is that it's really small digital voice recorder.

00:18:24.788 --> 00:18:25.419
Yeah, it's pretty small.

00:18:25.588 --> 00:18:30.729
I, actually carry two of'em, so I carry one for last quarter's ideas and recordings.

00:18:30.729 --> 00:18:34.419
And then I carry this new one for new, recordings.

00:18:37.808 --> 00:18:38.709
I'm sorry, say that part.

00:18:38.769 --> 00:18:42.969
So you, you carry two, one for last years and one for the new.

00:18:44.034 --> 00:18:45.173
One each quarter.

00:18:45.324 --> 00:18:46.493
One new one each quarter.

00:18:46.884 --> 00:18:47.243
Oh, okay.

00:18:47.453 --> 00:18:50.124
And the one is from the previous quarter.

00:18:50.544 --> 00:18:56.064
And I'm listening to recordings, ideas, thoughts, reflections that I had the previous quarter.

00:18:57.324 --> 00:18:57.413
I see.

00:18:57.834 --> 00:19:00.294
Or coaching calls seminars, everything.

00:19:00.294 --> 00:19:00.894
I record everything.

00:19:01.733 --> 00:19:10.644
And then, I have the other one, which is the new one for new ideas, new thoughts, new to-dos, et cetera.

00:19:11.243 --> 00:19:11.903
In my other hand.

00:19:12.788 --> 00:19:18.759
If I don't have anything to reflect on and record, I'm gonna jog my memory by listening to old recordings.

00:19:19.838 --> 00:19:20.318
I see.

00:19:20.469 --> 00:19:21.038
Interesting.

00:19:21.519 --> 00:19:31.328
So they don't have a, it's a technical question, but those don't have an op something where you can just download'em into something else and save'em for the future?

00:19:32.348 --> 00:19:33.038
Yeah, you do.

00:19:33.038 --> 00:19:38.318
But the process of transcribing them is powerful as well.

00:19:38.318 --> 00:19:42.009
So take either 10 minutes each day, or.

00:19:42.743 --> 00:19:49.493
30 minutes twice a week to just go through'em and transcribe'em and decide does this go on the issues list?

00:19:49.493 --> 00:19:55.703
Does this go into my Asana for long-term projects that I need to remember?

00:19:56.124 --> 00:19:57.534
Do I need to shoot an email off for this idea?

00:19:58.104 --> 00:20:01.493
You know what, and it's for each thing.

00:20:01.493 --> 00:20:02.453
What do I need to do?

00:20:02.753 --> 00:20:18.489
So I, the act of listening to'em and transcribing'em is powerful in itself instead of just filing them away, oh, this is fa So you, you've got some interesting routines here, all right.

00:20:18.489 --> 00:20:20.798
We got those at the, I gotta know, I gotta know more.

00:20:20.798 --> 00:20:30.939
Like what else what, are that what else do you do in your day besides meditating and running, recording, transcribing, what goes on?

00:20:31.868 --> 00:20:35.019
These are, yeah, great routines.

00:20:36.009 --> 00:20:50.574
Those are the, ones that I do constantly, I have to do, or else I feel like I'm not, in my success routine is the running, the meditation, and the recording of ideas.

00:20:52.284 --> 00:21:08.034
I guess listening to audio books constantly is one thing that when I'm driving around, if driving to appointments or whatever else, I have, kinda a routine that I stick to, which is Jim Rohn, Earl Nightingale, and Wayne Dyer.

00:21:08.963 --> 00:21:11.034
So those are my three fallbacks.

00:21:12.203 --> 00:21:12.354
Okay.

00:21:12.354 --> 00:21:12.864
The Legends.

00:21:13.614 --> 00:21:14.753
The Legends and Wayne Dyer.

00:21:14.753 --> 00:21:16.403
So yeah, classics.

00:21:17.844 --> 00:21:25.074
And each of'em are like 10 hours long, so 30 hours of just classic personal development stuff that I fall back on.

00:21:26.064 --> 00:21:27.653
And if I have a new book I wanna listen to.

00:21:27.653 --> 00:21:27.864
Great.

00:21:28.134 --> 00:21:31.163
I'll, jump to that, but then I'll come back to those three.

00:21:32.483 --> 00:21:32.844
Just to have.

00:21:36.913 --> 00:21:45.564
A fallback when you have tough conversations with trouble employees or trouble difficult customers.

00:21:46.733 --> 00:21:52.253
Those are the fallback principles that can guide you, huh.

00:21:52.614 --> 00:21:52.854
Okay.

00:21:54.953 --> 00:21:55.433
Wow.

00:21:57.594 --> 00:22:00.743
So I'm guessing you've heard a millions of times by now, huh?

00:22:01.884 --> 00:22:02.273
Yeah.

00:22:03.398 --> 00:22:07.598
Probably listen to each one twice a year at least, okay.

00:22:09.098 --> 00:22:09.669
Interesting.

00:22:12.038 --> 00:22:12.519
Great.

00:22:14.828 --> 00:22:28.778
Is, there anything else that we should from the book, that we should get be aware of that are there like quizzes or, actionable steps in there to become more of a slow burn entrepreneur?

00:22:30.608 --> 00:22:39.848
Yeah, I guess I, I do talk about affirmations, one of the things is, staying away from the news.

00:22:39.848 --> 00:22:41.558
'cause there's a lot of negative news out there.

00:22:41.798 --> 00:22:41.979
Yeah.

00:22:42.578 --> 00:22:46.269
It's just constant bombarding us with negative news right now.

00:22:47.108 --> 00:22:49.209
And that's, a big one.

00:22:49.209 --> 00:22:55.358
And then the other one is I dealt a lot, I dealt with anxiety in high school and college a little bit.

00:22:57.023 --> 00:22:58.584
Or not a lot, a little bit, a lot.

00:22:58.854 --> 00:23:00.834
It was paralyzing for me at times.

00:23:01.403 --> 00:23:08.874
And I think doing the affirmations, which I think I, I got from a book what to say when you talk to yourself.

00:23:10.733 --> 00:23:14.364
Way back in the day, I created affirmations and I would read'em to myself every day.

00:23:14.963 --> 00:23:17.334
I think it was twice, a day when I started.

00:23:18.413 --> 00:23:23.304
And just, pumping yourself up and creating that confidence.

00:23:23.814 --> 00:23:27.653
Even when you're feeling down is a big way.

00:23:27.653 --> 00:23:41.273
You can kinda conquer your demons and practice gratitude and pump yourself up versus succumbing to the negativity that is all around us all the time, and which causes I think, a lot of the anxiety that a lot of people are experiencing right now.

00:23:41.784 --> 00:23:42.084
Yeah.

00:23:43.044 --> 00:23:43.703
Yeah, for sure.

00:23:44.963 --> 00:23:46.979
Yeah, the I think taking off the news.

00:23:47.903 --> 00:23:51.773
Is a great heck, I gotta say I'm guilty.

00:23:52.108 --> 00:24:03.743
I, shut off the TV many years ago and now I, I, watch a little bit more like shows with my wife at night before we go to bed.

00:24:04.253 --> 00:24:06.953
But, news and all of that stuff, I just shut it off.

00:24:07.314 --> 00:24:09.203
I don't, maybe 15, 20 years ago.

00:24:09.203 --> 00:24:10.763
And it immediately made a big difference.

00:24:10.763 --> 00:24:19.013
But what I've noticed over time is as the, phone became more, prevalent in my life.

00:24:19.673 --> 00:24:23.364
Like now I've, just been, become, been becoming conscious of this.

00:24:23.993 --> 00:24:29.394
The, feed, the news feeds that come in through the phone are, I guess I never thought of it.

00:24:29.394 --> 00:24:32.784
'cause I wouldn't sit and watch tv to, get news.

00:24:32.784 --> 00:24:36.653
But it, yeah it's, in my life all the time.

00:24:36.653 --> 00:24:38.453
Probably more worse than before.

00:24:38.483 --> 00:24:42.338
And, just hadn't realized it till, recently.

00:24:42.338 --> 00:24:45.999
And it is creating a greater level of anxiety and less productivity too.

00:24:46.538 --> 00:24:46.628
Yep.

00:24:46.628 --> 00:24:50.108
And it's something I'm trying to get back to.

00:24:50.108 --> 00:24:54.128
It's not as easy to cut off as it was when it was just on tv.

00:24:54.368 --> 00:24:55.898
You could just walk away and it was good.

00:24:55.929 --> 00:24:58.298
Now it's, you have to have your phone.

00:24:59.019 --> 00:24:59.378
Yeah.

00:24:59.648 --> 00:25:00.068
Almost.

00:25:00.638 --> 00:25:04.778
It's a necessary tool, but I allow myself.

00:25:05.318 --> 00:25:06.189
A little bit of time.

00:25:06.189 --> 00:25:09.878
I read the Wall Street Journal in, during lunchtime a little bit.

00:25:10.449 --> 00:25:17.979
And then, I'll get my news from like the Daily Show, John Stewart which is com common yeah.

00:25:18.038 --> 00:25:18.578
Yeah.

00:25:19.479 --> 00:25:21.219
But other than, that, I avoid it.

00:25:21.608 --> 00:25:22.058
That's good.

00:25:22.719 --> 00:25:23.229
That's good.

00:25:24.159 --> 00:25:25.058
Yeah, it's been hard.

00:25:25.269 --> 00:25:25.749
I know.

00:25:27.219 --> 00:25:30.548
It's crazy how that just creeped back up in my life.

00:25:30.759 --> 00:25:34.179
And only now I becoming so conscious of it, I gotta.

00:25:35.528 --> 00:25:38.199
Do things like, yeah, just maybe set a time limit or something.

00:25:39.038 --> 00:25:39.249
Done.

00:25:40.179 --> 00:25:40.449
Good.

00:25:43.989 --> 00:25:44.588
Yeah, I don't know.

00:25:44.648 --> 00:25:52.058
Was there anything else you wanna leave the listeners with about slow burn entrepreneurship or at this point?

00:25:56.288 --> 00:26:02.558
I think there's, a lot to be said about empowering people and just giving people.

00:26:04.374 --> 00:26:06.354
This is what you gotta do, you decide how to do it.

00:26:06.953 --> 00:26:23.243
And then also allowing people to create their own jobs, almost give'em the guidelines, but then, having them build out, this is your, this is my job and this is my bonus structure.

00:26:23.663 --> 00:26:28.973
And I think giving people the power to build their own job description and bonus structures.

00:26:29.874 --> 00:26:31.763
We've done a lot more often.

00:26:33.894 --> 00:26:45.534
Is a powerful way to build that, loyalty and create a, company where people like to work there instead of dreading to come to work, yeah.

00:26:46.644 --> 00:26:47.663
Something we've been doing lately.

00:26:49.854 --> 00:26:50.574
Trying to think what else.

00:26:50.874 --> 00:26:54.144
If you're not using an operating system, EOS is great.

00:26:54.503 --> 00:26:57.953
I'm sure there's ones, but I've heard so many success stories with the os.

00:26:58.344 --> 00:26:58.913
Yeah, same.

00:26:59.423 --> 00:27:01.463
That's, something we were missing before for sure.

00:27:03.608 --> 00:27:03.969
Yeah.

00:27:06.249 --> 00:27:06.818
Yeah, I agree.

00:27:06.818 --> 00:27:12.548
EOSI think what was it, Gino Wickman, who was it came up with Traction Yeah.

00:27:12.548 --> 00:27:13.148
Attraction.

00:27:13.209 --> 00:27:17.348
It's, and then it led to, it's, a very good program.

00:27:17.409 --> 00:27:17.919
Absolutely.

00:27:20.769 --> 00:27:24.578
On that note, maybe we should switch over to our world famous Wayfinder four.

00:27:25.509 --> 00:27:30.759
So you've already given us quite a few, but I'm going to ask you for one more, and that is a hack.

00:27:31.614 --> 00:27:33.503
You use like just a life hack.

00:27:34.163 --> 00:27:34.584
Yeah.

00:27:34.733 --> 00:27:35.544
Kinda gave it away.

00:27:35.903 --> 00:27:36.354
I know.

00:27:37.223 --> 00:27:38.334
Now you gotta come up with a new one.

00:27:41.394 --> 00:27:43.973
Hire, hire an assistant.

00:27:44.784 --> 00:27:45.473
Get an assistant.

00:27:45.983 --> 00:27:47.844
I read, the book by Dan Martel.

00:27:47.874 --> 00:27:50.273
I think it was buy Back Your Time.

00:27:51.084 --> 00:27:51.233
Oh.

00:27:51.233 --> 00:27:52.074
Never Break Down.

00:27:53.304 --> 00:27:54.179
And we.

00:27:56.334 --> 00:28:01.253
I had an assistant in Nicaragua for a while that I actually found my wife's from Nicaragua, so we go down there quite a bit.

00:28:01.733 --> 00:28:07.794
I found her and her husband in person actually went down there and, she's still with us today.

00:28:10.374 --> 00:28:15.534
And a very cheap salary for first world standards is very, is great money for them.

00:28:15.909 --> 00:28:16.239
Yeah.

00:28:17.769 --> 00:28:23.558
And she's transitioned to be a an assistant, an admin assistant for the whole company.

00:28:23.558 --> 00:28:26.858
So now I, hired my own personal assistant in the Dominican Republic.

00:28:27.669 --> 00:28:27.909
Wow.

00:28:27.939 --> 00:28:29.679
And she is great.

00:28:30.278 --> 00:28:36.098
She speaks four languages and maybe five languages, and she's just very technology savvy.

00:28:36.578 --> 00:28:46.838
And so she helps me with technology and helps me do a lot of things like create trainings, create training manuals, go through my email.

00:28:46.838 --> 00:28:50.558
She sorts, my email, makes phone calls for me plan.

00:28:50.588 --> 00:29:06.013
She's, right now she's planning our company trip for Jamaica this year and, so there's just a lot of stuff, and by the way, it looks like she's gonna save us like$15,000 because she's booking it from the Dominican Republic instead of booking it from the United States.

00:29:06.394 --> 00:29:08.094
So that's a huge Oh, interesting.

00:29:08.094 --> 00:29:08.814
Huge deal right there.

00:29:09.203 --> 00:29:09.493
Yeah.

00:29:10.084 --> 00:29:10.374
Yeah.

00:29:11.858 --> 00:29:13.898
And so she's just, she's awesome.

00:29:13.959 --> 00:29:19.239
I would recommend finding, I had to interview a few people before finding someone I was happy with.

00:29:20.229 --> 00:29:25.479
But definitely hiring an assistant in order to take some of the low value tasks off your plate.

00:29:26.348 --> 00:29:33.489
Did you, did you use a service to find her or did you, like you said the first one, you went down to Nicaragua.

00:29:34.058 --> 00:29:35.108
Yeah, the other one.

00:29:35.108 --> 00:29:40.388
When you went to Dominican Republic did you do the same thing or, did you use a service?

00:29:41.094 --> 00:29:42.054
I did use a service.

00:29:43.403 --> 00:29:43.703
Okay.

00:29:44.094 --> 00:29:46.493
For, to find her I think called Go Live.

00:29:46.554 --> 00:29:49.673
I wanna say I met him at Irie International Roofing Expo.

00:29:50.213 --> 00:29:50.334
Okay.

00:29:50.334 --> 00:29:52.584
He was called Go Live Virtual Assistance.

00:29:52.913 --> 00:29:52.943
Okay.

00:29:52.943 --> 00:29:58.163
And they have Columbia, Dominican Republic, and maybe, yeah.

00:29:58.163 --> 00:29:58.913
One other place.

00:29:59.519 --> 00:29:59.719
Excellent.

00:29:59.989 --> 00:30:00.953
Philippines, maybe.

00:30:00.953 --> 00:30:01.134
Yeah.

00:30:01.463 --> 00:30:04.374
When you found the one on your own I'm interested in that.

00:30:06.294 --> 00:30:18.443
How did I know plenty of great services and, we've actually had a couple of owners of, va placement companies and global talent companies they'll, correct me.

00:30:20.423 --> 00:30:28.044
But the, but I've also worked on a, with a couple of companies that had VAs from other companies they found on their own.

00:30:29.183 --> 00:30:34.614
I happen to be Colombian, a lot of friends go and go to Columbia and just find people.

00:30:34.614 --> 00:30:36.354
I'm curious how you, went about that.

00:30:36.354 --> 00:30:42.624
How do you set up the arrangement to pay them and the, do you do any kind of contract?

00:30:42.624 --> 00:30:45.054
Is it all on a handshake or how does that work?

00:30:48.473 --> 00:30:58.284
So to find them first, there is, there's a place by a hotel that we always stay at down there that is a big call center.

00:30:58.284 --> 00:30:59.124
It's called Tel.

00:31:00.084 --> 00:31:00.834
And I was just.

00:31:01.538 --> 00:31:09.999
Cold calling people, talking to people on the sidewalk coming outta the building like, Hey, do you guys, do you wanna take on a little more work?

00:31:09.999 --> 00:31:11.709
Do you wanna work part-time on the side?

00:31:11.709 --> 00:31:28.598
Doing some admin stuff on the computer, taking some calls and didn't, I actually struck out doing it that way and I was, running on a trail that like goes up to the top of a volcano down there and I met this guy that was mountain biking.

00:31:28.973 --> 00:31:35.423
I kinda just we were at the top of the volcano, like looking at the view and stuff and I was like, Hey man we're actually, we got to talking.

00:31:35.423 --> 00:31:46.913
And I was like, do you know anybody that's looking for, or anybody that has call center experience that's looking for some side work as an assistant, as a va?

00:31:47.784 --> 00:31:54.983
And he was like my wife has worked at call centers and we got a baby on the way, so we're looking for something she can do from home.

00:31:56.003 --> 00:32:24.653
And and she turned out to be perfect and so it was, I kinda, I set up an interview with her a couple days later'cause I think I was flying out and she turned out to be, it was, she could speak really good English and good Spanish obviously, and, had all the necessary, like she had a computer set up in her house and she had all the technology she needed the wifi.

00:32:25.479 --> 00:32:29.409
She was able to start right away, I think at 30 or 40 hours a week.

00:32:31.449 --> 00:32:32.288
And it just worked out.

00:32:32.288 --> 00:32:42.699
So I think I maybe got lucky there, but I did, try a few different ways before I ran into her husband and then found her, that's cool.

00:32:43.449 --> 00:32:43.659
Yeah.

00:32:44.409 --> 00:32:51.098
How about a, favorite, this could be book activity show, whatever.

00:32:51.159 --> 00:32:56.288
You've already mentioned a few here as well, that would make you think about it again, huh?

00:32:57.009 --> 00:32:57.338
Yeah.

00:32:58.419 --> 00:33:11.679
So the one that we always point our sales guys to as like the first one that you need to read if, you haven't read any of these type of books, is the magic of Thinking Big.

00:33:12.098 --> 00:33:13.749
Oh, yeah.

00:33:14.259 --> 00:33:19.959
I think that's just a great mind opener to the whole personal development world or kind of.

00:33:20.483 --> 00:33:22.884
Introducing you how to think a little bit better.

00:33:22.884 --> 00:33:23.634
How to think bigger.

00:33:24.503 --> 00:33:24.834
Yep.

00:33:26.423 --> 00:33:27.653
Yeah, that's a classic too.

00:33:28.013 --> 00:33:28.193
Yeah.

00:33:28.314 --> 00:33:35.153
It's How about, a piece of advice for your younger self?

00:33:39.203 --> 00:33:39.443
Yeah.

00:33:39.443 --> 00:33:44.604
I would say stop worrying about what people think of you.

00:33:45.713 --> 00:33:47.334
'cause no one's really thinking of you.

00:33:50.604 --> 00:34:01.134
Most people are obsessed with themselves thinking about themselves, and they're really not thinking about you, so don't worry about what they think of you.

00:34:02.003 --> 00:34:09.983
That's a good mental health advice for people under four years old, yeah.

00:34:11.213 --> 00:34:11.844
That's really good.

00:34:11.934 --> 00:34:18.384
And it I think especially when we're young, we think all we do is think about whys, think about us, right?

00:34:18.744 --> 00:34:26.483
And as we get older we shed that a little bit and we're like, God, how foolish are we to give a rat's ass what others were thinking?

00:34:27.563 --> 00:34:27.744
Yeah.

00:34:28.313 --> 00:34:28.583
Yeah.

00:34:30.114 --> 00:34:40.614
How about a big opportunity that you see out there that maybe you're pursuing big opportunity or, I think the question was big opportunity or limiting belief, right?

00:34:41.123 --> 00:34:41.514
It is.

00:34:41.514 --> 00:34:42.353
You're absolutely right.

00:34:42.353 --> 00:34:42.534
Yeah.

00:34:42.534 --> 00:34:43.134
You caught me.

00:34:43.208 --> 00:34:43.239
Okay.

00:34:43.989 --> 00:34:52.778
If you wanna focus on a limiting belief or a, big opportunity, I think this is just another, maxim or another quote Yeah.

00:34:52.778 --> 00:35:01.869
Would be in the beginning when you're younger, what you make up in, in skill or what you, lack in skill.

00:35:02.469 --> 00:35:06.728
You make up with extra effort and extra energy.

00:35:09.039 --> 00:35:16.059
And so don't be willing or don't be afraid to work a little bit harder to turn the cream into butter when you're younger.

00:35:17.469 --> 00:35:29.559
And then as you get older, you know what you lack in the ability to expend extra effort and energy you should have, gained in the extra knowledge and experience.

00:35:30.039 --> 00:35:30.668
Yeah, totally.

00:35:31.329 --> 00:35:33.608
So that's really good.

00:35:34.373 --> 00:35:34.614
Yeah.

00:35:35.123 --> 00:35:41.844
For all the young people out there who don't wanna work more than 30 or 40 hours a week, step up and work.

00:35:42.324 --> 00:35:50.753
You put in your time work the 50 or 60 hours a week that some of us have all have put in, still do, Yeah.

00:35:50.963 --> 00:35:52.224
Can't really imagine that.

00:35:52.914 --> 00:35:53.423
I don't know.

00:35:56.228 --> 00:35:59.858
Before we move on, I wanna go back to your hack about an assistant.

00:35:59.889 --> 00:36:06.818
I'm wondering if you guys are using AI and how that affects the work with an assistant.

00:36:11.079 --> 00:36:13.358
So we're not using it as much as we should be.

00:36:14.139 --> 00:36:22.568
I know that we're, helping an industry friend build a new CRM.

00:36:23.063 --> 00:36:25.434
Where it's gonna have some AI built into it.

00:36:26.123 --> 00:36:37.614
Which is gonna help with like chat box and ta talking to customers, and also figuring out how to deal with certain insurance companies a certain way.

00:36:38.184 --> 00:36:40.914
Different communications that are just repeatable.

00:36:42.114 --> 00:36:50.304
So I think some of that stuff is, yeah, we're definitely not using it enough, but I think we're trying to build it into our, a new CRM that's gonna be ready in about six months.

00:36:51.023 --> 00:36:51.353
Got it.

00:36:51.983 --> 00:37:00.173
So any of that, low dollar tasks that you hand off to a, va, are you seeing that?

00:37:02.063 --> 00:37:04.494
Is any of that going to AI at all yet?

00:37:05.594 --> 00:37:08.664
She's, definitely using AI and I encourage her to use ai.

00:37:08.724 --> 00:37:09.143
Oh, okay.

00:37:09.324 --> 00:37:09.534
Okay.

00:37:11.844 --> 00:37:13.764
To help her build out these trainings that I have her do.

00:37:13.764 --> 00:37:18.864
And, oh, what else did I have her do, like communications with?

00:37:22.239 --> 00:37:28.059
Just emails, that she responds to people that are asking for a response from me.

00:37:29.829 --> 00:37:32.528
She'll definitely use AI to spruce up the response.

00:37:32.829 --> 00:37:36.039
And I can tell when she uses AI and it's fine.

00:37:36.248 --> 00:37:37.809
It, makes it look more professional a lot of times.

00:37:38.018 --> 00:37:38.438
Totally.

00:37:38.918 --> 00:37:42.068
And I know Google, Google has a new feature, that I've just started trying called Gemini.

00:37:42.728 --> 00:37:42.998
Yeah.

00:37:43.028 --> 00:37:44.528
Where it can help you write emails.

00:37:44.978 --> 00:37:45.248
Yeah.

00:37:45.518 --> 00:37:46.059
That's pretty cool.

00:37:46.059 --> 00:37:47.079
I've used that a few times.

00:37:48.204 --> 00:37:50.094
But we're not using it as much as we should.

00:37:50.244 --> 00:37:51.233
There's, yeah.

00:37:51.744 --> 00:37:58.164
I've joked about, buying robots to do our roofing work.

00:37:59.603 --> 00:38:03.518
'cause the workman's comp and the insurance is pretty expensive for people.

00:38:04.853 --> 00:38:05.244
Yeah.

00:38:05.724 --> 00:38:06.293
Doing work.

00:38:06.293 --> 00:38:09.264
So it would be cool to get, robots doing it eventually.

00:38:09.849 --> 00:38:10.539
That day.

00:38:10.539 --> 00:38:10.809
It's coming.

00:38:11.438 --> 00:38:12.188
It's gonna come.

00:38:12.219 --> 00:38:12.998
It is coming.

00:38:13.059 --> 00:38:13.478
I know.

00:38:13.778 --> 00:38:15.548
It's, really crazy when you see what's out there.

00:38:16.568 --> 00:38:16.989
Yeah.

00:38:18.248 --> 00:38:18.878
That's wild.

00:38:19.329 --> 00:38:21.188
All right, cool.

00:38:22.298 --> 00:38:28.628
If people wanna know a little bit more about you, you know how they can pick up the book or maybe even Yeah.

00:38:28.719 --> 00:38:29.289
Pick up the book.

00:38:29.739 --> 00:38:33.099
