00:00:00.160 So look, whether you're a leader of a company, you're the CEO, you're the founder, you're
00:00:03.240 somebody that's running an organization, or you have a family, you got a wife, you got
00:00:07.780 a husband, you got kids, siblings, it is time for an emergency meeting to discuss three
00:00:13.460 different things with everybody involved.
00:00:16.080 Today's message is sponsored by BetterHelp.
00:00:17.680 I'm a big fan of what these folks do at BetterHelp for a couple reasons, so let me share it with
00:00:21.140 you.
00:00:21.280 Number one, when you're an entrepreneur, you're a salesperson, you're a doer, a lot
00:00:24.260 of times you're alone, you're by yourself, and you're coming home late at night, you
00:00:27.940 had a bad day, maybe you lost a sale, maybe you lost a deal, and you're frustrated, you
00:00:31.960 can't call your mom, you can't call your wife, you can't talk to anybody, and you're kind
00:00:35.460 of alone, but you got to talk to somebody.
00:00:38.100 When I was building my company for many, many years, I had therapists that I would go see
00:00:42.160 that was specific to entrepreneurship and business, and I would go on a weekly basis, it was the
00:00:47.560 best release I had to talk to somebody about what I was going through, because I couldn't
00:00:51.740 do it with my wife or my family.
00:00:52.840 So, at BetterHelp.com, you have 20,000 licensed therapists to choose from, you go in there,
00:00:59.440 you fill out your information, within 48 hours, they get back to you, you want a male, you

00:01:25.740 We're going to put the link below in the description.
00:01:27.660 By the way, if this gets you thinking, and you get value from it, give it a thumbs up
00:01:31.320 and subscribe to the channel.
00:01:32.360 So, let's get right into it.
00:01:33.960 These are uncertain times.
00:01:35.600 When times are uncertain, it doesn't mean it's bad, it doesn't mean it's good, it's just
00:01:40.140 uncertain.
00:01:40.880 People don't know what's going to be happening.
00:01:43.160 Uncertainty creates anxiety.
00:01:44.540 Uncertainty creates worry, creates stress, creates unnecessary concerns that people are
00:01:51.500 imagining.
00:01:52.540 We self-sabotage, and sometimes we are worried and we don't share our fears with other people,
00:01:57.860 but a leader comes out and says, listen, guys, here's what's going on.
00:02:01.500 This is what I think we need to be doing.
00:02:02.880 I'll never forget when the COVID situation happened.
00:02:05.480 I came back, stayed at the office, and we did a Zoom with a bunch of our executives to see
00:02:09.880 how they were feeling.
00:02:10.540 I'll never forget the Zoom.
00:02:11.460 Our ladies who would always wear makeup had no makeup on, and I've never seen no makeup 1.00
00:02:17.540 on, specifically on a Zoom, and I saw guys who were like this on the camera, not showing
00:02:23.160 their whole face, because everybody thought this pandemic was going to be like Contagion,
00:02:26.960 the movie.
00:02:27.460 It was the end of the world.
00:02:28.900 We were all afraid.
00:02:30.020 We were uncertain, and everybody needed somebody to bring that level of fear down instead
00:02:35.540 of just spike it up.
00:02:36.260 Because every time we turn down the news, this many people died.
00:02:38.980 Oh, my God.
00:02:39.600 This many people died.
00:02:40.420 Oh, my God.
00:02:40.980 So, we kind of needed more of this.
00:02:42.900 Your family today needs a little bit of this.
00:02:44.340 So, now, three things everybody's got to do.
00:02:47.160 Musk said this, but I'm going to explain it to you in a completely different way.
00:02:50.740 Our job as leaders is to constantly make predictions.
00:02:55.940 A visionary is predicting what the future is going to be looking like.
00:03:00.840 Now, a visionary doesn't have to be Steve Jobs.
00:03:03.180 I believe everybody in a family is a visionary.
00:03:05.900 So, for example, a bad parent who's insecure will say things like, you'll never amount to
00:03:10.620 anything.
00:03:11.200 You're a visionary.
00:03:12.620 But you just told your kid, you ain't never going to amount to anything.
00:03:15.340 That is a form of a vision you're casting to your son or your daughter.
00:03:19.180 That son or daughter is going to believe that.
00:03:20.980 It's going to say, man, mom told me I'll never amount to anything.
00:03:24.240 That's a prediction.
00:03:27.340 And we feel it here, right?
00:03:29.040 Versus, if you apply these habits, if you stay away from this, if you read this, if you
00:03:35.540 work like this, the future looks very bright for you.
00:03:37.980 Okay, so I have to do something, but the future looks bright.
00:03:40.500 Absolutely.
00:03:41.100 Great.
00:03:42.240 You as a family, I sat my family down, and I said, here's what I think is going to happen
00:03:46.820 in the marketplace.
00:03:47.800 And this is what we need to be ready for right now.
00:03:49.820 One, protection-wise.
00:03:51.200 We need to be ready on protection.
00:03:52.420 What does protection mean?
00:03:53.860 Where do you live?
00:03:54.840 How do you come home?
00:03:56.100 Security, driving.
00:03:57.540 The other day, we had one of our girls here. 0.99
00:04:00.960 She's driving.
00:04:01.620 A guy bumps into the car.
00:04:03.120 She gets out of the car.
00:04:04.620 The guy gets out, shoves her on the floor, takes the money, and runs off.
00:04:08.400 If you're driving by yourself today and somebody bumps into the car, don't get out of the car.
00:04:12.440 Stay in the car.
00:04:13.660 Call somebody on the phone that you're talking to while they're coming to the door so somebody
00:04:17.980 else is witnessing it because this is a weapon.
00:04:20.000 But you've got to be prepared for it.
00:04:21.040 Kids, when this happens, do this.
00:04:22.640 Hey, honey, when this happens, do this.
00:04:24.540 Dad, when you're going out there and do this, everybody has to be somewhat prepared for today.
00:04:29.140 Now, it's going to be all right, but this is what we need to be.
00:04:31.820 Financially, here's what we need to be thinking about.
00:04:34.300 Spending in this area.
00:04:35.640 Opportunity in this area.
00:04:36.740 Doing this, doing that.
00:04:37.480 You need to have that conversation.
00:04:39.180 But you need to make predictions today.
00:04:41.960 The prediction is, here's what I predict is going to happen to the economy.
00:04:45.620 Here's what I predict is going to happen to the marketplace.
00:04:47.880 Here's what I predict is going to happen to crime.
00:04:50.360 Here's what I predict is going to happen to this.
00:04:52.220 So, hey, my 17-year-old son.
00:04:53.900 I don't have a 17-year-old son.
00:04:55.120 I got a 10-year-old son right now.
00:04:56.700 But, hey, 17-year-old son, probably not a good time to be partying too late right now.
00:05:00.280 I'm just telling you right now.
00:05:01.080 People are desperate.
00:05:01.920 They're worried.
00:05:02.640 They're stressed out.
00:05:03.740 Be a little bit more cautious today.
00:05:05.760 Stay a little bit.
00:05:06.500 Come home a little bit earlier today than before.
00:05:08.700 Why?
00:05:10.020 It's bad times.
00:05:11.420 Okay?
00:05:12.240 When I'm saying when this thing gets a little bit even deeper and it's going to be a little bit more,
00:05:15.240 I'm going to probably say those are some of the predictions I'm saying.
00:05:18.100 Let's just be a little bit more careful on where we're going to be and surroundings we're going to be.
00:05:22.960 Financially, predictions.
00:05:24.420 Honey, here's what we're going to be doing.
00:05:25.760 Business-wise, prediction.
00:05:27.260 Here's where opportunities for our company.
00:05:29.320 Here's our threat.
00:05:30.080 You've got to do a SWOT analysis.
00:05:31.300 Here's our strength, weakness, opportunity, threat.
00:05:33.740 You've got to look at in this economy if the market really does take a hit, if real estate does really take a hit,
00:05:39.020 here's our strength.
00:05:40.040 Here's our weakness.
00:05:41.040 Here's our opportunity.
00:05:42.040 Here's our threat.
00:05:42.660 You've got to talk about that stuff today and make your bold prediction.
00:05:47.740 And here's where we're going to win.
00:05:49.600 And here's where we're going to advance as a family.
00:05:51.960 And here's what we're going to do.
00:05:53.380 Your prediction.
00:05:54.640 To your girlfriend if you've got a girlfriend.
00:05:56.380 To your family if you've got a wife and kids.
00:05:58.080 And to your company if you're leading an organization yourself.
00:06:00.600 You make the prediction.
00:06:02.020 After you make the prediction, then you say, here's how we're going to be prepared for it.
00:06:06.320 So this is my prediction.
00:06:07.480 I think this is what's going to happen.
00:06:08.900 Here's how we're going to be prepared for it.
00:06:10.320 We're going to be ready for this in this area.
00:06:11.720 We're going to be ready for that in that area.
00:06:13.540 If this happens to the market, we're going to move this.
00:06:15.920 If that happens to the market, we're going to use this technology.
00:06:17.880 We're going to use this sale.
00:06:18.960 We're going to sell this product.
00:06:20.180 We're going to create this protection.
00:06:21.980 You know, if clients start doing a lot of fraudulent stuff nowadays, you've got to be careful.
00:06:25.480 Because when people are desperate, in sales specifically, when market takes a hit and people are desperate, fraudulency, you know, fraudulent activities goes up.
00:06:33.620 So you need better cyber.
00:06:34.840 You need better compliance.
00:06:36.160 Again, predict, prepare.
00:06:38.400 And then the next part is what?
00:06:39.460 But you've got to make it through.
00:06:40.960 Persevere.
00:06:42.120 You know, it's just survival of the fittest.
00:06:43.820 The best people making in business, those that are prepared for it, those that are sitting there saying, I'm the most prepared.
00:06:49.100 I kind of saw this coming and I was okay with it.
00:06:51.500 What is not the right thing to do is if you're like, ah, come on, give me a break.
00:06:56.520 No problem.
00:06:57.340 But that's a form of a prediction.
00:06:59.420 You're saying it's not that big of a deal.
00:07:00.820 It's going to be all right.
00:07:01.580 You are predicting.
00:07:02.960 Yeah, we're going to be okay.
00:07:04.460 Your preparation is, let's not do anything different.
00:07:06.440 We're going to be all right.
00:07:08.200 Okay.
00:07:08.800 You're going to persevere.
00:07:09.620 By the way, there's a 10% chance you're right, but there's a 90% chance you're wrong.
00:07:14.540 Okay.
00:07:15.000 And I don't like those chances.
00:07:16.660 I like it to be, there's a 90% chance you're right, but there's a 10% chance you're wrong.
00:07:21.220 I like those odds.
00:07:22.160 So if you're somebody that's kind of like, yeah, whatever, maybe take a little time out,
00:07:28.320 call an emergency meeting with yourself, map it out, then go talk to your family, your kids,
00:07:33.720 your dad, your mom, everybody, and then go talk to your organization as well with your
00:07:38.060 predictions, not imposing fear, not imposing like scary times, end of the world, because
00:07:42.620 everything's going to be fine if you are fully prepared and you're able to persevere as a family.
00:07:48.560 Having said that, give it a thumbs up if you got a lot of value out of this video and subscribe
00:07:51.780 to the channel and everything's about next moves right now.
00:07:55.240 I'm going to give you two crazy things to do.
00:07:57.180 Number one, go watch the video Grandmaster.
00:07:59.600 I shot this video, got a few million views.
00:08:01.720 I gave the message to like a thousand people in LA.
00:08:03.720 I think it was Long Beach, or this is actually a perfect time to go buy the book.
00:08:07.500 I've never done this before.
00:08:08.740 Go buy the book, Your Next Five Moves, because today it's all about what your next five moves
00:08:13.940 are going to be.
00:08:14.680 If you haven't read it yet, or if you haven't listened to the Audible yet, go buy the book,
00:08:19.420 read it, listen to it.
00:08:20.900 There's never been a more important time for you to be clear about your next five, ten,
00:08:24.940 fifteen moves.
00:08:25.740 Take care, everybody.
00:08:26.540 Bye-bye.
