00:00:00.440 30 seconds. One time for the underdog. Ignition sequence start.
00:00:06.980 Let me see you put them up. Reach the sky, touch the stars up above.
00:00:11.100 Cause it's one time for the underdog. One time for the underdog.
00:00:17.280 I'm Patrick, I'm your host of Value Team. And today I'm going to talk to you about 10 laws on how to recreate yourself.
00:00:22.600 I wrote a book a few years ago called 25 Laws for Doing the Impossible.
00:00:26.680 And when I wrote this book, I mean it sold 150,000 copies right now. It's in five different languages.
00:00:32.600 Polish, Russian, Chinese, English, and I'm missing one. Romanian. That's right. Romanian, right?
00:00:39.720 And it did very well. We were not expecting it for it to do this well. It did very well.
00:00:44.420 You know, most readers are from the States. Then it's Russia. Then it's Australia.
00:00:47.780 It just started growing and growing and growing.
00:00:49.700 But I was having a conversation just the other day and somebody was asking me,
00:00:55.160 Pat, if everybody keeps saying when you were in high school, you grew up a regular kid from broken up family,
00:01:03.460 1.8 GPA, and you didn't have any money in your family, and your father was this, and your mother was here.
00:01:08.780 How did you become and how did you change yourself, right?
00:01:12.960 So when I wrote this book, 25 Laws for Doing the Impossible, it's broken down into three different steps, right?
00:01:19.260 First step is how to recreate yourself, how to identify your cause, then go make history.
00:01:25.180 So I want to focus and emphasize today mainly on the first step, which is how to recreate yourself.
00:01:30.760 Because everybody who all of a sudden goes from having a past that no one thought that person was going to be who they were going to be,
00:01:39.560 there's a point, there's an epiphany moment where they change.
00:01:43.400 And there's a very consistent formula on how to do that.
00:01:46.420 I'm going to share 10 of the laws on this video with you, and then from there, if you want to read the rest,
00:01:51.260 I'll send you where you can go get the book and read it for yourself.
00:01:53.540 Okay, so how do you recreate yourself?
00:01:55.660 How does one completely change their identity?
00:01:58.860 How does one go from being recognized as having this kind of a reputation to completely changing their reputation?
00:02:05.200 First steps first, very simple.
00:02:06.900 This is the first thing you've got to do.
00:02:08.860 First thing you've got to do is you've got to set a goal that seems very difficult to you.
00:02:14.520 It seems impossible to you.
00:02:16.620 It seems something that everybody was, there's no way in the world you could do this.
00:02:20.580 And you've got to go hit this goal, okay?
00:02:23.380 You've got to go do this thing that seems extremely impossible.
00:02:25.740 You've got to go actually make that thing become a reality.
00:02:27.920 It could be very small little things initially.
00:02:30.340 It could be, I want to go out there and make $50,000 in a year.
00:02:33.760 I want to make $100,000 in a year.
00:02:35.200 I want to make $50,000 in a month.
00:02:37.300 It could be, I want to go out there and, you know, become number one in the company.
00:02:40.900 I want to go out there and become a vice president with a company, marketing director.
00:02:44.360 The goal has to be a difficult goal.
00:02:46.700 I want to lose 30 pounds in the next 30 days.
00:02:49.020 I want to go out there and do, it's got to be extremely difficult.
00:02:51.520 So every time you go out there and do something that seems difficult to you, what ends up happening is your mind and your heart start believing in the words that's coming out of your mouth.
00:03:03.100 When your mind and your heart believes in the words that's coming out of your mouth and you continuously then set another goal that you do that seems impossible, then eventually whatever comes out of here, these two trust.
00:03:13.900 Because it's going to become a reality.
00:03:15.860 So your credibility on what comes out of here is very high here.
00:03:19.240 But you've got to start it first.
00:03:21.460 And that's when you start seeing yourself.
00:03:22.860 You don't recognize you anymore.
00:03:24.160 You don't recognize it anymore because you're changing you.
00:03:26.480 So the ten laws of a first side of recreating yourself.
00:03:30.860 Number one, invest into your identity.
00:03:32.900 I've been told so many times, I've sold stocks, I've sold mutual funds, I sell insurance, we do very well business-wise.
00:03:39.300 But I've been told to buy so many different things.
00:03:41.800 Invest into real estate, invest into this.
00:03:43.960 Nothing in the world has given me better returns than me investing into one thing.
00:03:49.920 And that's been my identity.
00:03:51.060 Nothing.
00:03:51.520 Nothing ever has.
00:03:52.400 All these books that are here, all the books on my house, all the seminars I've been to, all the places I've traveled to, all the places I want to just meet one person to have a one-hour meeting or have breakfast with this person to learn one thing about them.
00:04:06.080 Investing in my identity is by far the most important law you've got to keep in mind.
00:04:10.760 So law number one is invest into your identity.
00:04:12.960 Number two, let the right ones in. 0.88
00:04:15.140 It's very important to let the right ones in.
00:04:17.480 What do I mean by that?
00:04:19.360 Association.
00:04:19.720 You've got to let people in.
00:04:22.540 Some people don't let anybody in.
00:04:23.980 If you don't let anybody in, nobody can direct you because nobody really knows where you're at with your life.
00:04:29.640 You have to have a handful of people that you let in who can give you feedback.
00:04:34.100 But you've got to let the right mentors, the right influence, get in that have influence over you.
00:04:38.540 Number three, protect your credibility score.
00:04:40.980 Let me explain to you what that means, your credibility score.
00:04:42.700 You know we all, when you're buying a house or you're buying a car or whatever you're doing, they're going to check your FICA score to see how good it is and they give you a loan.
00:04:49.320 Here's $50,000 on, $100,000 on, $1,000,000 on.
00:04:53.320 Your credibility score is just as important, if not more important than anything else.
00:04:58.800 Here's why.
00:04:59.900 If you say what you're going to do and you actually do what you say you're going to do, your credibility score goes higher.
00:05:08.020 Who does that improve and who does that help?
00:05:09.720 One, it helps you because you trust you.
00:05:12.200 When you say you're going to do something, you actually do it.
00:05:14.220 Second, who does it help?
00:05:15.760 Your friends, your family, they like you.
00:05:17.540 Three, who does it help?
00:05:19.160 The people that do business with you.
00:05:21.140 When your credibility score goes high because what you say is what you do, more people want to be in business with you.
00:05:26.420 Because it's very important for business, for a business partner, for somebody you're doing business with, to keep their word.
00:05:32.780 If you keep saying what you're going to do and you don't do it, your credibility score is low.
00:05:36.660 Not only do you not like yourself, not only does your friends and family not trust you, nobody wants to do business with you.
00:05:41.700 You've got to increase your credibility score in order to get the right help around you as well.
00:05:45.460 Four, strengthen your greatest weapon.
00:05:47.780 The mind is the greatest weapon.
00:05:49.000 You've got to feed this thing regularly.
00:05:51.060 So often I meet people, spoke to one of the guys, I think he's one of the most talented guys I've ever met in my life.
00:05:55.660 I said, what a waste of a mind it is you've been given that your mind is that smart but you refuse to read books.
00:06:02.700 What a waste.
00:06:03.520 Can you imagine that brain, that computer, it's like having the most incredible computer that you never ever use or do anything with the software that's in this computer.
00:06:12.400 What a waste to have such a platform to not do anything with.
00:06:16.900 That's your mind.
00:06:17.460 You've got to strengthen your greatest weapon which is this.
00:06:21.940 Law number five, challenge your way of thinking.
00:06:24.100 You've got to constantly challenge your way of thinking.
00:06:25.620 Here's a question I always ask myself and I ask other people as well.
00:06:29.200 If your way of thinking worked, would you be in the position you're in today?
00:06:37.600 So if your way of thinking doesn't work, you need to find a new way of thinking to get the results that you want because there is a problem with your way of thinking in any specific area of your life.
00:06:49.320 If your way of thinking doesn't work, you've got to challenge your way of thinking.
00:06:52.780 Most of us have a challenge with that because we don't like to be wrong.
00:06:56.300 We don't like to say it's our fault.
00:06:57.720 We don't like to say we're mediocre or not there yet or average.
00:07:01.120 But you've got to challenge your way of thinking.
00:07:02.840 If you're willing to challenge your way of thinking, you're putting yourself in a position to get into new heights.
00:07:07.380 Next, law number six, know your why.
00:07:09.720 Your why is very simple but the why, generally a lot of people say things like, oh, I want to be financially free.
00:07:15.880 I want to have a big house.
00:07:16.800 I want to have a nice car.
00:07:17.720 I want to do, believe it or not, that's all a byproduct.
00:07:20.760 Yes, I have nice cars.
00:07:22.220 I live in a nice home.
00:07:23.620 I have black cars and all this stuff and I travel.
00:07:26.200 I go all over the world.
00:07:26.920 I'm in Dubai.
00:07:27.440 I'm in Paris last couple weeks and I go to New Orleans and we're all, we're this way.
00:07:30.880 Yes, all that stuff is great.
00:07:31.980 But that's purely a byproduct of the real why of my life, which was many years ago when I remember seeing my father who had a heart attack and he went to the hospital, UCLA Medical Center, and I saw this man lose 40 pounds within a week.
00:07:48.720 And I'm sitting there at the hospital fighting every single nurse.
00:07:51.700 I go downstairs.
00:07:53.140 I'm in my Ford Focus.
00:07:54.420 I've lost everything I have.
00:07:56.080 And I sit there and I say, this is it for me.
00:07:58.480 I'm making a decision tonight.
00:07:59.940 I am making a decision tonight.
00:08:02.120 I'm crying for 30 minutes.
00:08:03.380 This is never, my dad's not going to die from stress caused by financial issues.
00:08:07.760 If my dad's going to pass away, it's going to be because of natural costs.
00:08:11.020 Came back, made a list of what I wanted to do.
00:08:13.920 Boom.
00:08:14.440 Went.
00:08:14.920 The rest was history.
00:08:16.040 But it wasn't, I want to have nice cars.
00:08:18.740 The cars, the money, the financial freedom came of a byproduct of real strong whys that
00:08:23.860 are in here.
00:08:24.640 For the person that doesn't believe you could do it, for you to look at that person in the
00:08:28.040 eye and say, wow, you really did it.
00:08:29.680 For your family, your mom and dad to tell you they're proud of you.
00:08:33.020 For you to do something that no one thought was ever possible.
00:08:35.520 It's got to be the real deep why that you write down.
00:08:38.360 Next.
00:08:39.700 Work like it's 1880.
00:08:41.500 Quite frankly, that's a very controversial message today because, you know, you got books
00:08:47.380 like 4-Hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss who became a multi-millionaire by writing a book called
00:08:51.440 4-Hour Workweek because, great, it's like these commercials late at night.
00:08:55.540 He's very smart, by the way, to write a book like that because everybody wants to work less.
00:08:59.240 So it's like saying how to lose 50 pounds in two weeks.
00:09:01.500 Everybody would read the book, oh, this is so great.
00:09:03.660 And there is no such thing as how to lose 50 pounds.
00:09:06.020 Those drinks, you drink this drink, you lose 15 pounds in one night.
00:09:08.780 But it's not good for you.
00:09:10.420 The 4-Hour Workweek is a myth.
00:09:12.760 It doesn't exist.
00:09:14.480 It doesn't happen for those that want to play in the big leagues.
00:09:19.180 I don't know anybody that has a 4-Hour Workweek that's the top achiever.
00:09:23.120 I don't know any single person in Hollywood and business, I don't know them, who compete
00:09:27.320 at a very high level.
00:09:28.660 4-Hour Workweek is for somebody who wants to be on a low radar, nobody paying attention
00:09:32.860 to you.
00:09:33.620 You're just getting by, making enough money to pay your bills, and you're traveling.
00:09:36.460 That's what the book is about, okay, if you read it.
00:09:39.180 I'm talking about working, the way we worked in 1880.
00:09:42.720 The average American today works on a late 30 hours a week, 35, 36, to high 36, 37 hours
00:09:48.120 a week.
00:09:48.900 Back in the 1880s, we used to work 69 hours a week, 50, 69, 67 hours a week.
00:09:53.540 This is according to the Department of Labor.
00:09:55.420 It's going back to real work ethic.
00:09:58.740 It's really working.
00:10:00.240 People are frightened of working.
00:10:02.360 I love what Gary Vaynerchuk says when he's hustling.
00:10:05.280 He talks about hustling, waking up early in the morning, going this, going that.
00:10:08.100 You see a video like Grant Cardone, who is obsessed with working.
00:10:10.940 You see Jordan's work ethic, Kobe's work ethic, you know, these guys that wake up in
00:10:15.820 the morning and go at night, dark, dark, not up, you know, sun, sun, let me come home.
00:10:19.980 No.
00:10:20.680 So if you want to do the impossible, then you want to recreate yourself, and you want to
00:10:24.240 work nine to five.
00:10:25.080 I had a friend that said, you know, I made a plan that by 30 years old, I wanted to take
00:10:28.480 Fridays off and Saturdays off and Sundays off.
00:10:31.160 That's not my goal.
00:10:32.040 I don't have a desire to do that.
00:10:33.480 Why do I want to take Friday, Saturdays, and Sundays off and only work four days a week?
00:10:36.480 I don't want to do that.
00:10:37.460 I have no desire to do that.
00:10:40.420 And those who do the impossible typically work.
00:10:43.240 Edison was known with his wife.
00:10:44.780 It's a very interesting story.
00:10:45.980 When you talk about Edison, Edison's wife would say he would come to the house.
00:10:49.640 I would make him some food.
00:10:50.760 He would go back to work.
00:10:51.740 We'd come back, take 20 minute naps, go back to work, come back 20 minute naps, 15
00:10:55.320 minute nap, 20 minutes.
00:10:56.140 He was just constantly working.
00:10:57.500 Well, let's see what Edison did.
00:10:59.340 We have a light.
00:11:00.100 We have all the take Edison out.
00:11:01.540 What if you only work 15 hours a week?
00:11:03.460 What if you only work 30 hours a week?
00:11:05.020 I'm sitting here with a candle right now if you only work 15 hours a week.
00:11:08.780 This dude works 70, 80 hours a week.
00:11:10.600 Thank God he had strong work ethic and he wasn't living in an economic time like this
00:11:15.120 where the PC police is going around saying that's not politically correct.
00:11:19.440 You can't listen to any of the media that tells you about work and Huffington Post article.
00:11:25.160 It's not healthy to work more than 40 hours a week written because viewers are going to
00:11:28.780 read that article.
00:11:29.500 It's a bunch of nonsense.
00:11:30.620 You go get advice from performers who are playing in that game, not the other guys that
00:11:35.300 want to make sure you read a four-hour work week book or all this other crap.
00:11:38.760 Anyways, I get upset when I read that stuff because it's a bunch of gibberish that fools
00:11:42.060 people and then they wonder how come they don't get the results.
00:11:44.880 Law number eight is elevate your imagination to a whole new level.
00:11:47.600 Let me explain to you what I mean by elevate your imagination to a whole new level.
00:11:50.360 It's a weapon that's been given to everybody.
00:11:52.760 Everybody.
00:11:53.040 When you go to sleep, how do you go to sleep?
00:11:56.280 How do you go to sleep?
00:11:56.820 Think about it.
00:11:57.240 We all have a story, right?
00:11:58.220 How do you go to sleep?
00:11:59.200 Who creates that story?
00:12:00.520 You do.
00:12:00.980 It's your imagination.
00:12:01.880 You're in charge of your imagination just so you know that.
00:12:04.340 So if I'm going to sleep at night with the thought of, oh my God, my bills, promotion,
00:12:08.780 that guy, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear.
00:12:11.020 I wake up with fear.
00:12:12.360 But what if you go to imagination and sleep like this?
00:12:14.780 Man, what if that one day I'm giving a talk in front of 50,000 people and there's an audience
00:12:18.920 there and my wife's and kids are sitting in my house, my mom's, I'm giving this talk
00:12:23.460 and it's on the Time Magazine cover.
00:12:24.980 What if this one day, oh, this is so great.
00:12:29.480 That's the stuff that you got to take control of your imagination.
00:12:33.860 If you let it loose, it'll really mess with you.
00:12:37.440 That's law number eight.
00:12:38.380 Elevate your imagination to a whole new level.
00:12:39.920 When you read the book, all these things are obviously more specific.
00:12:43.680 Law number nine is to be curious as Alice.
00:12:46.700 Alice was curious, obviously.
00:12:49.340 Alice in Wonderland, right?
00:12:50.960 You got to be curious.
00:12:52.440 You got to be curious to read books.
00:12:54.360 You got to be curious to watch videos.
00:12:56.140 I was speaking to somebody named Bobby the other day.
00:12:58.700 He says, my Saturday mornings and early in the morning when I wake up, I watch four hours
00:13:04.400 of YouTube and audio is what I do.
00:13:06.720 On Sundays, I watch this many hours of YouTube videos on how to do this and I listen to audio.
00:13:11.800 Every week, I finish three audio tapes.
00:13:13.620 Every single week.
00:13:14.440 You know, my English isn't that good, but I like listening to audios because I understand
00:13:17.920 when I listen to audios.
00:13:18.820 It doesn't matter.
00:13:19.360 He's curious for information because it's out there accessible to everybody, especially
00:13:24.000 today more than ever before.
00:13:26.500 No one could say, I don't know how this thing works.
00:13:28.520 It's a lame excuse.
00:13:30.200 All our staff that I have here working with us, right?
00:13:32.880 We had a guy that came and started working with us.
00:13:34.820 He's never had any experience.
00:13:35.920 Mario, how much experience have you had in the past with social media?
00:13:38.240 When you got started with us, how much Twitter experience did you have?
00:13:41.180 Really?
00:13:41.620 Zero followers.
00:13:42.520 How many followers?
00:13:43.620 Zero followers.
00:13:44.820 Social media, nothing.
00:13:46.420 Mario is curious.
00:13:47.880 He would sit here, listen and watch things on how it would work and go research and now
00:13:51.800 Mario is one of the best.
00:13:52.760 You should follow Mario.
00:13:54.080 What's your tag on?
00:13:54.840 Aguilar Social.
00:13:55.580 Aguilar Social on Twitter.
00:13:57.300 Aguilar Social.
00:13:58.720 And go befriend him on Facebook.
00:14:00.220 And your Instagram is what?
00:14:01.320 What's your Instagram?
00:14:02.460 Aguilar Social.
00:14:03.380 Really interesting.
00:14:04.840 He's learned how social media, right?
00:14:06.360 He's now learned how social media works, but he was curious to learn.
00:14:10.660 You got to tap into that curious side of you.
00:14:13.340 Number 10 is break away from the old you.
00:14:16.700 It goes back to the first thing I said when I opened up the video, which is write down something
00:14:21.160 you want to do that seems impossible and go hit it and break away from the old you.
00:14:25.100 Just because your friends, family, or your cousins have created a reputation about you
00:14:29.340 that all your friends say, that doesn't mean that's true.
00:14:32.660 Just because in high school you were a knucklehead kid or you hung around with people so everybody
00:14:36.720 called you the chump or the loser or the smarty, this guy didn't get good grades or whatever,
00:14:41.180 that's their identity they're creating for you.
00:14:43.340 You don't need to buy that identity.
00:14:45.800 Does that make sense?
00:14:46.360 You choose the identity that's going to be with you, for you.
00:14:50.140 You are determining that.
00:14:51.420 It's not on anybody else.
00:14:53.180 Most people allow other people to create their identity.
00:14:55.640 You've got to take responsibility of it and let the right ones in who can elevate and
00:15:00.300 challenge you and push you and say, you're too cocky, you're too arrogant. 0.86
00:15:03.820 It's all about you.
00:15:04.680 Change yourself.
00:15:05.280 People don't want to work with you.
00:15:06.580 You've got to get better.
00:15:07.840 You've got to read this book.
00:15:08.740 Finish that book.
00:15:09.360 Why aren't you reading that book?
00:15:10.260 Did you get to that?
00:15:10.860 Why do you tell me you want to win and you still don't go out there and read?
00:15:12.840 Then don't tell me you need people like that in your life.
00:15:16.120 And the next thing you know is saying, this person believes in me.
00:15:19.060 New identity.
00:15:20.320 Once you have the new identity, then you've got to go identify your cause and you've got to go make history.
00:15:23.760 But ultimately, make a decision to recreate yourself and get after your dreams and leave a legacy for the people that love you and for the people that matter the most to you.
