So this last week I've been pretty MIA because we do our annual leadership retreat with the company.
00:00:28.160
I've been doing this now for five years and I rent out a crazy place and this time around, I rented out the BCBG founders place.
00:00:48.160
One of the rooms here, it's 17 bedrooms, 30 plus thousand square feet.
00:00:53.660
But we come here every year and it's three and a half days of me speaking and strategizing with these guys for 12 straight hours.
00:01:07.660
Probably spoken, I don't know, 40 hours in the last three and a half days with these guys.
00:01:13.660
And there's something I did very different this time around, okay, when we had this session.
00:01:22.660
We spent about five hours, six hours going through data.
00:01:26.660
Not just regular kind of data that we're talking about.
00:01:29.660
But the one thing I did this year is I changed it up.
00:01:53.660
250 people are in the room at Beverly Hills Hilton.
00:01:59.660
And I started off by asking 29 questions that we went through.
00:02:06.660
Question after question after question after question after question.
00:02:09.660
I think by the time it was done, at least 30% of the room had been in tears at one point or another.
00:02:15.660
Because in order to recreate yourself, we're too often liking way too many quotes on Instagram.
00:02:27.660
Where for me, a question makes you move more than a quote makes you move.
00:02:35.660
It's the season where you got a lot of people wanting to change.
00:02:37.660
A lot of people want next to you to be a big year for them.
00:02:40.660
You got a lot of people that want to make some big decisions for themselves.
00:02:43.660
And they want to go out there and do something they've never done before.
00:02:46.660
The beginning stages of all of that, it's with you, is with you asking the right questions of yourself.
00:02:53.660
So, after four hours of us going through these questions with everybody.
00:03:01.660
You know, I never thought about it this way before.
00:03:05.660
And the last time when we have a party here with two, three hundred people.
00:03:07.660
We're catering, we got food, we got all this other stuff that's hanging out, having a conversation.
00:03:15.660
We're having all these conversations with all these folks.
00:03:20.660
When I asked the question, I said, so tell me, what's the biggest takeaway from the event?
00:03:27.660
He says, because the questions got me to get into a state that I hadn't been in before.
00:03:42.660
Whatever you got your goals for 2020 right now.
00:03:47.660
If you really want things to change for you in 2020.
00:04:00.660
When I tell you anybody's, I mean anybody's life.
00:04:04.660
If a guy can live in a $78 million house in Beverly Hills.
00:04:12.660
It tells you at one point, he dreamt about the possibilities of him building a big business for himself.
00:04:23.660
If a guy, you go look him up, the founder of BCBG.
00:04:30.660
And it started off with him having a vision, a dream.
00:04:35.660
It probably started off with him asking questions.
00:04:41.660
Why can't my last name experience something like this?
00:05:11.660
All of these guys that do something big by themselves.
00:05:19.660
Asking themselves defining moment type of questions.
00:05:29.660
Maybe it's time for you to kind of step away from everybody.
00:05:36.660
In order for you to give birth to a new identity.
00:05:43.660
But it will start with you asking the right questions.
00:05:48.660
And by the way, if you haven't already subscribed to Valuetainment on iTunes.
00:05:55.660
And if you have any questions for me that you may have.
00:05:57.660
You can always find me on Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube.
00:06:03.660
And I actually do respond back when you snap me or send me a message on Instagram.
