y'all know there's so many podcasts episodes going on different people cover different things 01:14.229 --> 01:21.712 [SPEAKER_01]: And I had to privilege of listening to the beginning of the diary of a CEO episode with Stephen Barley. 01:21.993 --> 01:22.513 [SPEAKER_01]: Shout out to him. 01:22.553 --> 01:23.473 [SPEAKER_01]: He's across the pond. 01:23.713 --> 01:28.816 [SPEAKER_01]: And he brought on the Avengers of entrepreneurship, right? 01:28.856 --> 01:30.376 [SPEAKER_01]: He brought on three different entrepreneurs. 01:30.397 --> 01:31.197 [SPEAKER_01]: And we're going to talk about 01:31.577 --> 01:40.309 [SPEAKER_01]: We're going to talk a little bit about that in just a second, but it was a phenomenal episode from what I've heard this far, right? 01:40.710 --> 01:45.216 [SPEAKER_01]: And the reason why we want to, I want to just tip it off and kick it off like that is because 01:47.039 --> 01:52.544 [SPEAKER_01]: Now is the time more than ever before that we need to just be ready with the skill set. 01:52.985 --> 01:57.129 [SPEAKER_01]: Ready to drill down and double down on our gift a little bit like I was talking about yesterday. 01:57.470 --> 01:57.650 [SPEAKER_01]: Right. 01:57.690 --> 02:05.959 [SPEAKER_01]: Got to learn the levers that gift got to improve that gift so that ultimately we can utilize that gift for the kingdom. 02:06.219 --> 02:06.439 [SPEAKER_01]: All right. 02:06.479 --> 02:07.941 [SPEAKER_01]: Got to make the kingdom look attractive. 02:08.581 --> 02:11.523 [SPEAKER_01]: because ultimately, that's what it's all about. 02:12.023 --> 02:12.844 [SPEAKER_01]: That's what it's all about. 02:13.124 --> 02:17.927 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so now, y'all today, we're gonna get ready to dive into straight from the source. 02:19.228 --> 02:29.094 [SPEAKER_01]: And for today's, for today's scripture, man, I wanted to go ahead and hit on the book of a giant. 02:29.594 --> 02:32.236 [SPEAKER_01]: All right, so we're gonna go ahead and get into straight from the source. 02:33.136 --> 02:35.738 [SPEAKER_01]: And go ahead, dive into giant right here. 02:37.278 --> 03:00.157 [SPEAKER_01]: All right, so john ten ten john john ten ten and i'm going to actually start i'm actually started at verse nine here but first the text is breaking down the the parable of of a good shepherd right and if we if we don't know what the definition of a shepherd is he like john what is the purpose of a shepherd right what what does a shepherd do 03:02.992 --> 03:05.513 [SPEAKER_01]: What does that even mean? 03:05.873 --> 03:06.154 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. 03:06.714 --> 03:09.215 [SPEAKER_01]: So a shepherd is somebody who tends to sheep, right? 03:09.315 --> 03:18.019 [SPEAKER_01]: And we typically see them in stories and in books and in psychopathias that they have like that long hook. 03:19.800 --> 03:21.001 [SPEAKER_01]: And I used to see it. 03:21.021 --> 03:22.782 [SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, what was that for? 03:24.102 --> 03:26.864 [SPEAKER_01]: Because the thing about sheep is sheep will wander off. 03:28.724 --> 03:29.765 [SPEAKER_01]: So they have the hook. 03:31.568 --> 03:35.251 [SPEAKER_01]: to where they can pull them back in, to where they can redirect them, they can straighten them out. 03:36.512 --> 03:46.340 [SPEAKER_01]: Because ultimately, the purpose of a shepherd is to protect their sheep, to protect their flock, because sheep aren't known to be the wisest of animals, right? 03:46.380 --> 03:48.682 [SPEAKER_01]: They're not known to have the highest level of intellect. 03:48.982 --> 03:49.382 [SPEAKER_01]: However, 03:50.485 --> 03:51.906 [SPEAKER_01]: That's where the shepherd comes into play. 03:52.666 --> 04:02.811 [SPEAKER_01]: Because if somebody is not that wise or that they don't have a level of insight, then they're going to need to constantly be redirected, so the shepherd just constantly hooks them. 04:03.071 --> 04:03.271 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. 04:03.551 --> 04:13.316 [SPEAKER_01]: So ultimately a shepherd is a person who tends to sheep, but it's also defined as a guide for to direct in particular. 04:14.356 --> 04:37.168 [SPEAKER_01]: direction right a shepherd so so shout out to the shepherds out there if they be pastors if they be leaders if they be parents shout out to y'all y'all to really MVP's but I'm I'm gonna read the text here and the the text that I'm gonna read like I said I'm gonna go ahead and read and attack a very first nine it says I am the door 04:40.425 --> 04:43.406 [SPEAKER_01]: If anyone enters through me, he will be saved. 04:43.926 --> 04:45.627 [SPEAKER_01]: Well, let me, let me go back, let me go back. 04:46.488 --> 04:48.949 [SPEAKER_01]: Let's, let's go back to let's go back to verse six here. 04:49.309 --> 04:56.912 [SPEAKER_01]: It says Jesus told them this figure speech, but they did not understand what the things which he was saying to them. 04:58.252 --> 05:04.255 [SPEAKER_01]: So Jesus said to them again, truly, truly I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. 05:06.152 --> 05:09.899 [SPEAKER_01]: all those who came before me are thieves and robbers. 05:10.660 --> 05:13.224 [SPEAKER_01]: But the sheep did not listen to them. 05:14.426 --> 05:18.032 [SPEAKER_01]: I am the door if anyone enters through me he will be saved. 05:19.082 --> 05:23.727 [SPEAKER_01]: and will go in and out and find pasture. 05:24.648 --> 05:29.454 [SPEAKER_01]: The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. 05:29.474 --> 05:35.580 [SPEAKER_01]: And I came so that they would have life and have it abundantly. 05:36.721 --> 05:49.825 [SPEAKER_01]: So here in the text, as Jesus is telling the parable up in the earlier verses where he's breaking down just a little bit about sheep and a little bit about thieves and robbers. 05:50.506 --> 05:53.907 [SPEAKER_01]: One thing that we must consider here is for one. 05:55.207 --> 06:00.689 [SPEAKER_01]: I am the door, Jesus saying, I'm the way, okay? 06:00.709 --> 06:01.669 [SPEAKER_01]: You gotta come through me. 06:02.609 --> 06:05.490 [SPEAKER_01]: If you don't come through me, you can't be saved. 06:05.570 --> 06:15.573 [SPEAKER_01]: And this is the part to where other conflicting religions, this is the part to where there is a clear differentiation. 06:16.453 --> 06:31.629 [SPEAKER_01]: Right, because Jesus saying through me, He's not saying through Buddha, He's not saying through nation that Islam, He's not saying through Catholicism, He's saying through me, which is through Christianity, right? 06:32.010 --> 06:35.133 [SPEAKER_01]: So He's saying through me, He will be saved. 06:36.572 --> 06:38.554 [SPEAKER_01]: And we'll go out and find the passion. 06:38.595 --> 06:45.262 [SPEAKER_01]: So then the other part where he's breaking down a little bit to where he's talking about the sheep. 06:46.003 --> 06:51.149 [SPEAKER_01]: So the comparison here is us as sheep because think about it. 06:51.210 --> 06:53.552 [SPEAKER_01]: How often have you wondered and strayed from the flock? 06:54.429 --> 06:54.649 [SPEAKER_01]: Right? 06:54.709 --> 07:01.633 [SPEAKER_01]: How often have you been doing something or going somewhere where you knew you shouldn't be there? 07:02.293 --> 07:02.473 [SPEAKER_01]: Right? 07:02.493 --> 07:08.997 [SPEAKER_01]: That's not where you should be where you desire to go, but it's not healthy for you. 07:09.017 --> 07:09.838 [SPEAKER_01]: It's not beneficial. 07:10.198 --> 07:11.579 [SPEAKER_01]: That's where the shepherd redirects. 07:12.239 --> 07:12.439 [SPEAKER_01]: Right? 07:12.519 --> 07:13.520 [SPEAKER_01]: Brings his back. 07:14.760 --> 07:15.761 [SPEAKER_01]: Really brings it to the foe. 07:15.821 --> 07:19.363 [SPEAKER_01]: And then it says, the thief comes only. 07:20.272 --> 07:25.516 [SPEAKER_01]: to steal and to kill and destroy, right? 07:27.257 --> 07:38.265 [SPEAKER_01]: When we think about, when we think about God, and we think about Jesus, and we think about just the goodness of what comes with being a Christian in this faith walk. 07:40.596 --> 07:43.018 [SPEAKER_01]: God seeks to add value. 07:44.479 --> 07:50.584 [SPEAKER_01]: God seeks to provide life in life more abundantly. 07:51.725 --> 07:58.791 [SPEAKER_01]: So that is adding as opposed to taking stealing, deterring from, right? 07:59.792 --> 08:06.757 [SPEAKER_01]: And the reason why I want to add that and I want to make that clear separation is because 08:08.258 --> 08:26.053 [SPEAKER_01]: If you ever begin to have thoughts, and then these thoughts are negative, these thoughts are seeking to have you do something negative or destructive to yourself, to someone else, to someone else's things, these are not the thoughts that God will put in your head. 08:27.294 --> 08:33.359 [SPEAKER_01]: These are not thoughts that are awesome, that are good, that are loving, that are gracious. 08:34.220 --> 08:34.980 [SPEAKER_01]: As the word says, 08:36.381 --> 08:37.682 [SPEAKER_01]: focus on these things. 08:40.003 --> 08:44.326 [SPEAKER_01]: These are, these are kingdom thoughts that operate in that way. 08:44.986 --> 08:48.248 [SPEAKER_01]: Abundance, abundance is kingdom, right? 08:50.049 --> 09:00.034 [SPEAKER_01]: But when it talks about the thief coming to steal, kill, and destroy, that's where we know and also realize that this is really a battle and this is really a fight. 09:01.335 --> 09:05.018 [SPEAKER_01]: And the reason we know it's a battle on a fight is because there's two sides. 09:06.178 --> 09:06.358 [SPEAKER_01]: Right. 09:06.419 --> 09:21.289 [SPEAKER_01]: There's one to where I came so that you can have life and have it abundantly, have it fruitful, have it multiplied, but then there's another to where there's somebody who's coming to take that to steal your peace, to steal your joy, to kill. 09:22.389 --> 09:22.610 [SPEAKER_01]: Right. 09:23.890 --> 09:27.593 [SPEAKER_01]: So understanding this and looking at this and breaking down this text here today, 09:27.893 --> 09:39.805 [SPEAKER_01]: What I want you to take away from and what I want you to really get out of this is understanding that you, me, us, we're all sheep. 09:41.607 --> 09:46.112 [SPEAKER_01]: And the fact that a matter is as dope as we think we are on our best day. 09:47.597 --> 09:53.280 [SPEAKER_01]: or as terrible as we think we might feel on our worst day, we need some direction that we need some guidance. 09:54.841 --> 09:55.021 [SPEAKER_01]: Right. 09:55.081 --> 10:06.446 [SPEAKER_01]: If that be making a decision for what you're going to pursue in terms of do I make this breakup happen to a stay with this person? 10:07.407 --> 10:08.647 [SPEAKER_01]: Is it time for me to leave? 10:09.848 --> 10:10.668 [SPEAKER_01]: Should I be doing this? 10:10.708 --> 10:11.589 [SPEAKER_01]: Should I be doing that? 10:12.849 --> 10:14.510 [SPEAKER_01]: We need guidance. 10:14.530 --> 10:23.675 [SPEAKER_01]: That's why we pray and ask the Holy Spirit to guide us, to direct us, to provide insight, to give wisdom because he's the only one that can. 10:25.036 --> 10:28.578 [SPEAKER_01]: So understanding that, understanding that we need to be guided. 10:30.457 --> 10:37.418 [SPEAKER_01]: Today is the day to where we should all take a moment, and we should allow ourselves to be humble, just for a second. 10:38.318 --> 10:44.239 [SPEAKER_01]: Just for a second, allow ourselves to be humbled and to know that we're not as good as we think we are. 10:44.779 --> 10:59.282 [SPEAKER_01]: We're not as cold as we think we are, but ultimately humbling ourselves, submitting so that we can get what Jesus desires to give us, what God the Father decides to give us, which is what 11:00.773 --> 11:04.935 [SPEAKER_01]: Life and life more abundantly. 11:05.996 --> 11:09.958 [SPEAKER_01]: Abundance, abundance, abundance. 11:10.858 --> 11:13.219 [SPEAKER_01]: Just imagine, this is so random. 11:13.239 --> 11:18.042 [SPEAKER_01]: But as I'm thinking about abundance, I'm thinking of the old school Charlie and the chocolate factory. 11:18.482 --> 11:21.743 [SPEAKER_01]: And I'm thinking of how these kids, they walked in. 11:23.164 --> 11:41.647 [SPEAKER_01]: to the chocolate factory and all they see is every kind of candy they can even imagine some that they didn't even think of candies on the walls candies on the doors candy is in the chocolate river like candy is everywhere That's what a bun is looks like 11:43.117 --> 11:53.553 [SPEAKER_01]: And I'm not necessarily talking about money, but abundance is just being in a place and being in a space to where it's just plenty is it's full. 11:55.189 --> 11:56.630 [SPEAKER_01]: It's exciting, it's peaceful. 11:57.911 --> 12:06.058 [SPEAKER_01]: So family today, allow yourself, allow yourself the gift of submitting to God the Father. 12:06.778 --> 12:08.180 [SPEAKER_01]: Family, this has been straight from the source. 12:08.240 --> 12:11.202 [SPEAKER_01]: If you're

13:44.946 --> 13:45.847 [SPEAKER_01]: All right. 13:45.927 --> 13:46.247 [SPEAKER_01]: All right. 13:46.267 --> 13:46.787 [SPEAKER_01]: All right. 13:46.847 --> 13:47.208 [SPEAKER_01]: All right. 13:47.288 --> 13:47.588 [SPEAKER_01]: All right. 13:47.668 --> 13:47.948 [SPEAKER_01]: All right. 13:47.968 --> 13:48.148 [SPEAKER_01]: All right. 13:48.168 --> 13:48.368 [SPEAKER_01]: All right. 13:48.388 --> 13:48.609 [SPEAKER_01]: All right. 13:48.629 --> 13:48.949 [SPEAKER_01]: All right. 13:48.969 --> 13:49.149 [SPEAKER_01]: All right. 13:49.169 --> 13:49.429 [SPEAKER_01]: All right. 13:49.449 --> 13:49.729 [SPEAKER_01]: All right. 13:49.809 --> 13:50.090 [SPEAKER_01]: All right. 13:50.110 --> 13:50.310 [SPEAKER_01]: All right. 13:50.330 --> 13:50.510 [SPEAKER_01]: All right. 13:50.590 --> 13:50.770 [SPEAKER_01]: All right. 13:50.790 --> 13:50.990 [SPEAKER_01]: All right 13:52.271 --> 13:55.152 [SPEAKER_01]: All right, so look, today we're going to talk a little bit about entrepreneurship. 13:55.412 --> 14:10.797 [SPEAKER_01]: Like I was saying before, one of my favorite podcasts is diary of a CEO by the host, Steven Bartley, and he is our brother from across the pond and Steven gets some of the most phenomenal entrepreneurs and begins to have these conversations. 14:12.018 --> 14:19.180 [SPEAKER_01]: Some about money, some about business, some about life, but ultimately there's so beneficial, so fruitful. 14:20.618 --> 14:28.442 [SPEAKER_01]: And ultimately, one thing that I've always have taken away from his episodes outside of that, he is a phenomenal podcast host, right? 14:28.462 --> 14:32.424 [SPEAKER_01]: The host, the host skill set is there, the setup is there. 14:32.444 --> 14:37.047 [SPEAKER_01]: I just appreciate his show and what he's doing or what he's been done, what he's done. 14:38.955 --> 14:43.120 [SPEAKER_01]: But then I saw a clip yesterday, produce a great share to clip with me just the other day. 14:43.300 --> 14:49.928 [SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, hmm, this is something worth sharing. 14:50.508 --> 14:54.193 [SPEAKER_01]: So as we're talking about entrepreneurship, what I want to bring up. 14:55.695 --> 15:10.274 [SPEAKER_01]: is what first first first okay so Stephen Barley let me let me get there on this so Stephen Barley he brought on three entrepreneurs and these are the Avengers of entrepreneurship because they you know that they really are killing it in their respective industries 15:10.594 --> 15:11.815 [SPEAKER_01]: So there's Cody Sanchez. 15:12.276 --> 15:18.122 [SPEAKER_01]: She is one of the bosses in ultimately acquiring businesses. 15:18.562 --> 15:26.390 [SPEAKER_01]: Then there's Daniel Priestley and he is a guru when it comes to getting this data, getting analytics, making the best data driven decisions. 15:26.670 --> 15:28.292 [SPEAKER_01]: Then there's Alex Ramosi who is 15:29.673 --> 15:33.137 [SPEAKER_01]: One of the best marketers that I've ever seen in business. 15:33.717 --> 15:42.286 [SPEAKER_01]: And after seeing some of the interview and talking with producer Brit, then I was like, it makes sense to do an episode about entrepreneurship. 15:42.967 --> 15:44.969 [SPEAKER_01]: Like, do you really want to be an entrepreneur? 15:45.009 --> 15:47.192 [SPEAKER_01]: Like, do you say you want to be an entrepreneur? 15:47.232 --> 15:48.073 [SPEAKER_01]: But is that really? 15:48.853 --> 16:12.897 [SPEAKER_01]: What you want like for real for real so what we're about to do right here I'm about to roll a clip and We're gonna go back and forth through it and we're gonna break it down Talking a little bit about entrepreneurship okay So let's go and put clip and Let's go ahead and get into it 16:15.937 --> 16:26.716 [SPEAKER_00]: Let's get it going Okay, so there's part of me that can't really believe that I'm going to be making this video, but I'm gonna make it because 16:28.460 --> 16:32.465 [SPEAKER_00]: I think we have to understand this in the world. 16:32.785 --> 16:38.252 [SPEAKER_00]: And I think that we have to start to come. 16:38.953 --> 16:39.994 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, he's starting off slow. 16:40.274 --> 16:46.242 [SPEAKER_01]: But long story short, he is comparing the nine to five life to entrepreneurship. 16:46.522 --> 16:57.785 [SPEAKER_01]: And he's saying, well, is some people say that entrepreneurship is great and others don't, they feel to realize that there are a lot of stresses that come with entrepreneurship. 16:58.365 --> 16:58.605 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. 16:58.925 --> 17:00.986 [SPEAKER_01]: So that's where this, that's where this video goes. 17:01.066 --> 17:02.046 [SPEAKER_01]: Actually, it's a longer video. 17:02.066 --> 17:03.347 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to actually play the full video. 17:03.687 --> 17:08.068 [SPEAKER_01]: But what I am going to do is, I'm going to draw, I'm going to draw some comparisons. 17:08.308 --> 17:08.608 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. 17:08.888 --> 17:10.369 [SPEAKER_01]: I draw just a few comparisons. 17:10.829 --> 17:15.210 [SPEAKER_01]: So one thing that we don't account for at times is that being an entrepreneur, 17:16.610 --> 17:26.540 [SPEAKER_01]: Right, and this is this is going to be the episode to where if you desire to be entrepreneur, I am going to give you every reason why you shouldn't be an entrepreneur. 17:26.740 --> 17:32.967 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so I'm going to fight on this episode so that you won't want to pursue entrepreneurship. 17:33.287 --> 17:39.053 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, point black and period, but then at the end, I'm going to come back and I'm going to say why it could be beneficial for you. 17:39.273 --> 17:41.354 [SPEAKER_01]: So let's go ahead and get into it. 17:41.374 --> 17:42.234 [SPEAKER_01]: Let's go ahead and get into it. 17:42.254 --> 17:45.116 [SPEAKER_01]: Alright, so look, why entrepreneurship isn't for everyone. 17:45.156 --> 17:45.936 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, here's the deal. 17:46.336 --> 17:50.438 [SPEAKER_01]: Being an entrepreneur, one, you, it's unpredictable income. 17:51.719 --> 17:54.600 [SPEAKER_01]: You don't know where the next payment is coming from necessarily. 17:55.220 --> 17:57.161 [SPEAKER_01]: You're, you're not sure if you're going to get this client. 17:57.181 --> 17:58.702 [SPEAKER_01]: You're not sure if you're going to get that client. 17:59.302 --> 18:01.364 [SPEAKER_01]: And I've seen this through me. 18:01.444 --> 18:03.887 [SPEAKER_01]: Don't me having my business for about eight years. 18:03.967 --> 18:05.509 [SPEAKER_01]: We're going on almost ten years now. 18:05.529 --> 18:05.889 [SPEAKER_01]: Excuse me. 18:05.909 --> 18:07.711 [SPEAKER_01]: I almost ten years now. 18:07.731 --> 18:08.251 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. 18:09.032 --> 18:10.554 [SPEAKER_01]: The income is unpredictable. 18:10.574 --> 18:11.675 [SPEAKER_01]: I used to drive Uber. 18:13.166 --> 18:25.669 [SPEAKER_01]: before I became an entrepreneur and then I continued to drive Uber as I began to speak and as I began to sell books because there's no guarantee of a paycheck and there's no benefits, come on somebody. 18:26.289 --> 18:33.291 [SPEAKER_01]: And I didn't really understand the benefits of benefits until I had children and I got married. 18:33.431 --> 18:41.173 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, then the other side is like there's high risk and there's stress with that life of an entrepreneur. 18:41.953 --> 18:42.173 [SPEAKER_01]: Right? 18:42.393 --> 18:49.996 [SPEAKER_01]: So there's the financial, the legal, and the marketing risks that all at the end of the day follow you. 18:50.716 --> 19:01.379 [SPEAKER_01]: If you desire to be entrepreneur, these will follow you as opposed to if you work for a job or if you work for somebody else's business, then they all follow on the the top dog whoever that might be. 19:01.719 --> 19:02.319 [SPEAKER_01]: It's not you. 19:02.760 --> 19:06.761 [SPEAKER_01]: So everything rather than falls on you, the other part is the time commitment. 19:07.381 --> 19:09.203 [SPEAKER_01]: People say, oh man, I want to be entrepreneur. 19:09.223 --> 19:10.944 [SPEAKER_01]: They seem like they have all the time in the world. 19:11.364 --> 19:12.905 [SPEAKER_01]: They seem like they live in a best life. 19:13.166 --> 19:15.067 [SPEAKER_01]: They seem like they free all the time. 19:15.688 --> 19:24.815 [SPEAKER_01]: The fact that a matter is being an entrepreneur, you're going to work multiples of the hours that you would work for whatever job you work. 19:26.362 --> 19:28.063 [SPEAKER_01]: and you're not gonna get paid over time. 19:28.243 --> 19:29.263 [SPEAKER_01]: Let me take my glasses off. 19:30.363 --> 19:34.624 [SPEAKER_01]: And you're not going to get paid for over time, right? 19:34.704 --> 19:38.345 [SPEAKER_01]: Because it's longer than a traditional round of five, most of the time. 19:38.986 --> 19:52.610 [SPEAKER_01]: And especially on the front end, because people talk about passive income and people talk about, people talk about passive income and they also talk about, well, oh, I, you know, multiple streams income and all these different things. 19:52.890 --> 19:53.550 [SPEAKER_01]: But here's the deal. 19:54.490 --> 20:02.159 [SPEAKER_01]: You have to build to a certain point to where you can put systems in place and to where you then can generate that passive income. 20:02.619 --> 20:10.868 [SPEAKER_01]: But before then you are working and you're working longer hours than most I was watching 20:12.202 --> 20:22.790 [SPEAKER_01]: I was watching a Gary V interview the other day with Adam Brinniman, and he began to say that he feels that balance is working nine to seven, and that's light. 20:23.050 --> 20:26.032 [SPEAKER_01]: He said nine to seven, Monday to Thursday, and he was like, that's light. 20:27.474 --> 20:30.937 [SPEAKER_01]: because Adam said, well, I want to build a hundred million dollar media company. 20:31.278 --> 20:42.729 [SPEAKER_01]: Well, he was like, hey, bro, if that's what you want to do, basically, you're going to be working around the clock for some time until you get to a point to where you think and like level it out a little bit or you can make some other decisions. 20:43.289 --> 20:46.452 [SPEAKER_01]: But for now, nah, bro, that's not what it is. 20:46.732 --> 20:48.354 [SPEAKER_01]: And then, y'all, here's the deal. 20:49.867 --> 20:50.487 [SPEAKER_01]: You're the boss. 20:51.208 --> 20:52.008 [SPEAKER_01]: You're the marketer. 20:52.569 --> 20:53.529 [SPEAKER_01]: You're the accountant. 20:54.610 --> 20:55.691 [SPEAKER_01]: Let me speak to your manager. 20:55.771 --> 20:56.692 [SPEAKER_01]: You are the manager. 20:57.032 --> 20:58.072 [SPEAKER_01]: Let me speak customer service. 20:58.092 --> 20:59.433 [SPEAKER_01]: You are customer service. 20:59.934 --> 21:04.797 [SPEAKER_01]: You are the one who is fulfilling the areas to where there's complaints. 21:05.237 --> 21:08.159 [SPEAKER_01]: You're the ones who's feeling and covering the areas to where. 21:08.579 --> 21:09.820 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, you're your payroll. 21:10.401 --> 21:15.804 [SPEAKER_01]: If if you are providing insurance for your company, then you're the one incurring. 21:18.862 --> 21:21.683 [SPEAKER_01]: You're the one acquiring that cost as well. 21:22.984 --> 21:23.824 [SPEAKER_01]: So there's those things. 21:24.264 --> 21:25.724 [SPEAKER_01]: Then let's just talk about a little bit. 21:26.305 --> 21:30.086 [SPEAKER_01]: Loneliness and the pressure and loneliness of entrepreneurship, right? 21:30.966 --> 21:32.527 [SPEAKER_01]: Somebody got like, John, this is so depressing. 21:32.547 --> 21:33.887 [SPEAKER_01]: Why are you getting down on entrepreneurship? 21:34.328 --> 21:35.888 [SPEAKER_01]: We're going to get to the benefits and just a little bit. 21:35.908 --> 21:36.708 [SPEAKER_01]: We'll get to the benefits. 21:37.169 --> 21:43.331 [SPEAKER_01]: But there's no built-in team structure unless you create it, right? 21:43.731 --> 21:45.812 [SPEAKER_01]: There's no SOPs. 21:47.009 --> 21:52.253 [SPEAKER_01]: Right, we don't know the processes that that that that work for your business because you have to create them. 21:53.114 --> 21:59.479 [SPEAKER_01]: You going to a job or a corporation, they have it, you know, they got the handbook and, you know, they give you these nice pamphlets and get these papers. 21:59.819 --> 22:01.941 [SPEAKER_01]: They say, we got to do this, this, this, this. 22:03.023 --> 22:06.747 [SPEAKER_01]: And I'm telling y'all that because I'm like I said a year like ten of my business now. 22:07.507 --> 22:10.210 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm beginning to create SOPs now. 22:11.431 --> 22:21.321 [SPEAKER_01]: So that people, if I can't go to a job, if I can't do a job and somebody else gets brought on to do that or hire it or contract it to do that, well guess what? 22:21.781 --> 22:26.385 [SPEAKER_01]: then they can go and they can set up my podcast stuff. 22:26.785 --> 22:32.230 [SPEAKER_01]: They could even go and speak on my behalf because SOPs will be in place, right? 22:32.270 --> 22:39.936 [SPEAKER_01]: So there is structure in there is things that that really set that up to where there's no questions asked, right? 22:40.737 --> 22:42.698 [SPEAKER_01]: But like I said, man, all the costs 22:43.839 --> 22:46.860 [SPEAKER_01]: All the costs follow you cost to beat a boss. 22:46.980 --> 22:49.722 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so let's let's give a real-life example. 22:49.782 --> 22:58.365 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so there have been a few times in my business to where I brought on some people to work with me. 22:58.405 --> 23:00.326 [SPEAKER_01]: Like I contracted them to work with me for a little bit. 23:01.987 --> 23:10.110 [SPEAKER_01]: And the thing about people that you bring on is if they do a job, they want to get paid. 23:11.861 --> 23:15.284 [SPEAKER_01]: They desire to be paid, and also they should be paid. 23:16.265 --> 23:22.569 [SPEAKER_01]: However, as an entrepreneur, sometimes you're like, ooh, can we hold off? 23:23.230 --> 23:24.851 [SPEAKER_01]: Can I push this payment back? 23:25.411 --> 23:30.535 [SPEAKER_01]: And I have that experience when I work for a nonprofit, because if you ever have work for a nonprofit or maybe, 23:31.576 --> 23:32.937 [SPEAKER_01]: You might work for non-profit now. 23:33.317 --> 23:36.739 [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, there's grants and there's all kinds of funding that can be secured. 23:37.219 --> 23:42.342 [SPEAKER_01]: But at the same time, if that funding has not been secured, then you're bootstrapping. 23:43.703 --> 23:51.127 [SPEAKER_01]: In their returns to where I was a director of the after school program, and then I was not able to give people their checks. 23:52.287 --> 23:56.269 [SPEAKER_01]: And imagine going into a weekend, my God, and having yikes. 23:57.430 --> 23:58.871 [SPEAKER_01]: Imagine going into a weekend, 24:00.325 --> 24:14.351 [SPEAKER_01]: And then you have teenagers that were planning on going to the movies, planning on going and hanging out, maybe going and working out, paying for their gym membership, buying new shoes, buying some clothes, and you gotta let them know. 24:16.813 --> 24:18.473 [SPEAKER_01]: I know you might have had a date this weekend, bro. 24:20.694 --> 24:21.795 [SPEAKER_01]: But I don't got no check for you. 24:23.288 --> 24:27.050 [SPEAKER_01]: I know you might have to pay the bill this weekend, but I don't got no check for you. 24:27.570 --> 24:28.491 [SPEAKER_01]: Like that sucks. 24:29.291 --> 24:30.672 [SPEAKER_01]: That sucks a lot, okay? 24:31.092 --> 24:32.413 [SPEAKER_01]: That sucks very, very bad. 24:32.973 --> 24:40.296 [SPEAKER_01]: So being in that position and being able to are having to tell people that in those things, that's what comes with entrepreneurship, right? 24:40.356 --> 24:45.459 [SPEAKER_01]: Because you literally building something and let me go, let me look, look, look, look. 24:45.839 --> 24:47.200 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, cause we talk about entrepreneurship. 24:48.260 --> 24:49.200 [SPEAKER_01]: This is what it looks like. 24:49.220 --> 24:55.742 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, it looks like you building something from the ground up. 24:56.883 --> 24:58.323 [SPEAKER_01]: Literally, you're building something. 24:58.583 --> 25:02.724 [SPEAKER_01]: So if for entrepreneurship, you're either selling something. 25:04.465 --> 25:05.705 [SPEAKER_01]: Right, you're selling something. 25:06.626 --> 25:11.027 [SPEAKER_01]: You're saying something, right, speaking, talking, consulting. 25:12.563 --> 25:18.427 [SPEAKER_01]: Creating something, so selling something could be you pushing other products for other people. 25:20.989 --> 25:24.451 [SPEAKER_01]: It also could be you pushing your own products. 25:25.732 --> 25:28.694 [SPEAKER_01]: Could be you selling ideas, right? 25:29.374 --> 25:35.859 [SPEAKER_01]: So you, you know, getting with somebody telling them you can consult them, but you're selling like a skill set. 25:35.899 --> 25:39.101 [SPEAKER_01]: You're selling to where it's exchange of time for dollars. 25:40.636 --> 25:48.118 [SPEAKER_01]: or excuse me, transaction for dollars versus time for dollars because the transaction ultimately is whatever you say that you're gonna do. 25:48.658 --> 26:04.842 [SPEAKER_01]: Prime example, when I was doing my podcast community, people would pay me and then they would sign up for the program to where I was telling them, I'm gonna give them all the tools, all the information that they need to get their podcasts up and running, but get this. 26:05.862 --> 26:10.323 [SPEAKER_01]: There were certain times to where I was doing, I was doing my marketing, 26:11.765 --> 26:16.650 [SPEAKER_01]: And from me doing my marketing, certain people wouldn't show up. 26:16.771 --> 26:18.633 [SPEAKER_01]: So look, let me let me let me break it down the I'll let me break it down. 26:18.673 --> 26:22.938 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so This is what entrepreneurship looks like in real time. 26:23.058 --> 26:29.166 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, in real time So I started selling a podcast program for twenty five hundred dollars. 26:29.586 --> 26:29.806 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay 26:30.752 --> 26:33.773 [SPEAKER_01]: I have people coming through the doors, twenty five hundred dollars. 26:33.833 --> 26:36.614 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm selling the program, boom, boom, boom, getting them in. 26:36.674 --> 26:37.794 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, this is great. 26:37.834 --> 26:38.534 [SPEAKER_01]: This is awesome. 26:39.134 --> 26:42.495 [SPEAKER_01]: And mind you, I was doing this through the process of a webinar, right? 26:42.895 --> 26:46.636 [SPEAKER_01]: If you don't know the process of a webinar, let me go ahead and just break it down for you at a high level. 26:47.156 --> 26:51.658 [SPEAKER_01]: So ultimately, I say, hey, y'all, I'm doing this training for people that want to start podcast. 26:51.738 --> 26:52.838 [SPEAKER_01]: If you're entrepreneur business owner, 26:53.258 --> 26:54.440 [SPEAKER_01]: Sign up, you should go. 26:54.460 --> 26:55.021 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. 26:55.501 --> 26:59.547 [SPEAKER_01]: So then some people were signing up, signing up, signing up, signing up. 26:59.647 --> 27:01.029 [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, yes, yes, yes. 27:01.690 --> 27:03.933 [SPEAKER_01]: It was great because people were signing up for the training. 27:05.034 --> 27:09.220 [SPEAKER_01]: And then after they signed up for the training, then I would call them one by one. 27:10.027 --> 27:11.127 [SPEAKER_01]: Hey, what's going on Bob? 27:11.807 --> 27:13.068 [SPEAKER_01]: I saw you sign up for the training. 27:13.088 --> 27:14.568 [SPEAKER_01]: She's going to give you a quick college. 27:14.608 --> 27:15.869 [SPEAKER_01]: No, I'm looking forward to seeing you there. 27:16.209 --> 27:17.669 [SPEAKER_01]: They're like, yeah, that's awesome. 27:17.709 --> 27:18.749 [SPEAKER_01]: John, thanks for calling me. 27:19.249 --> 27:22.710 [SPEAKER_01]: So, right, I'm, I'm advertising the training. 27:23.391 --> 27:26.772 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm calling the people to make sure that they show up for the training. 27:27.272 --> 27:27.632 [SPEAKER_01]: Why? 27:27.992 --> 27:30.933 [SPEAKER_01]: Because I'm spending dollars to advertise. 27:32.473 --> 27:56.023 [SPEAKER_01]: and market this upcoming training okay stay with me stay with me so then as we keep going down this then a couple of days later than I would do the training there were sometimes I would have a hundred plus people sign up and I'm like oh this is great and then I would call these people and they would say they're gonna show up for the training 27:57.142 --> 27:59.344 [SPEAKER_01]: And then they did not show up for the training. 28:00.165 --> 28:01.246 [SPEAKER_01]: Why is that matter, John? 28:01.306 --> 28:02.207 [SPEAKER_01]: Why is one important? 28:02.407 --> 28:02.987 [SPEAKER_01]: This is why. 28:03.007 --> 28:03.608 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. 28:04.489 --> 28:23.206 [SPEAKER_01]: And y'all were talking about entrepreneurship and right now I'm breaking down the process of a webinar because this is entrepreneurial in the entrepreneurial mind of me right now because if they didn't show up for the training that I'm paying dollars to advertise and get them to now is like me doing like this into the win. 28:25.681 --> 28:33.164 [SPEAKER_01]: Because the people that show up on the training, these were the people that I can pitch my product, my program and or service to. 28:33.184 --> 28:34.505 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. 28:36.325 --> 28:42.088 [SPEAKER_01]: And then the goal, the goal was always to generate more money on the training. 28:43.688 --> 28:47.070 [SPEAKER_01]: Then I did spend advertising. 28:47.810 --> 28:48.130 [SPEAKER_01]: All right. 28:50.273 --> 28:55.377 [SPEAKER_01]: And like Russell Brunton always says, you want to at least get two dollars back for your one. 28:56.378 --> 28:57.959 [SPEAKER_01]: At least that's on the low level. 28:59.200 --> 29:03.724 [SPEAKER_01]: And the reason why I'm breaking this down is showing this with Charles, we've got to get ready to take quick and martial break. 29:04.524 --> 29:12.971 [SPEAKER_01]: It's because if you're not making more than you're spending, then you will begin to accrue debt. 29:16.334 --> 29:18.295 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it got to the point to where 29:19.569 --> 29:29.696 [SPEAKER_01]: not only did the program that I was selling it was still get it was still beneficial people getting results I was helping people get their podcast up I was helping people generate money from their podcast 29:30.782 --> 29:35.467 [SPEAKER_01]: However, then there was other people that started doing podcast programs. 29:35.767 --> 29:36.148 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. 29:36.889 --> 29:42.835 [SPEAKER_01]: And then the other people that are doing podcast programs, their followings were significantly larger than mine. 29:43.296 --> 29:51.585 [SPEAKER_01]: So now in this world of entrepreneurship, may the odds ever be in your favor because now you have to go head to head. 29:53.323 --> 30:05.250 [SPEAKER_01]: With other people who are selling a product, that could be the same as yours, but either way people gonna take a step back and look at it and they're gonna say, well, hmm, they're gonna begin to compare price. 30:06.231 --> 30:10.694 [SPEAKER_01]: And they're gonna say, hmm, John selling this for twenty five hundred dollars. 30:11.474 --> 30:13.716 [SPEAKER_01]: This person is selling this for nine, ninety seven. 30:14.516 --> 30:18.579 [SPEAKER_01]: This person has shown that they have a little bit more success than John. 30:19.419 --> 30:21.841 [SPEAKER_01]: Hmm, do I like John? 30:22.853 --> 30:26.638 [SPEAKER_01]: more than this person or do I like to access that John is offering. 30:26.938 --> 30:29.822 [SPEAKER_01]: So now the other part of entrepreneurship you have to create an offer. 30:30.984 --> 30:44.610 [SPEAKER_01]: And if you don't create an offer and if you don't understand the language that the people that are starving for what you have to offer, connect the dot between all the offer and where I am, this is what I need. 30:45.010 --> 30:47.411 [SPEAKER_01]: And that's another struggle that comes with entrepreneurship. 30:47.631 --> 30:54.914 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it is a straight up struggle when you're trying to get to a place and get to a space to where. 30:56.515 --> 31:03.121 [SPEAKER_01]: you are self-sustained on the business that you've created and the work that you're doing. 31:03.921 --> 31:05.363 [SPEAKER_01]: So understand in that. 31:06.624 --> 31:08.966 [SPEAKER_01]: Are you sure that you want to be entrepreneur? 31:09.066 --> 31:10.927 [SPEAKER_01]: Like, are you really, really sure? 31:10.947 --> 31:12.749 [SPEAKER_01]: Because we're going to take quick commercial break. 31:12.929 --> 31:15.311 [SPEAKER_01]: Never going to come back and I'm going to see where you're at. 31:16.732 --> 31:18.614 [SPEAKER_01]: We'll be right back when we're speaking to you just in the morning. 31:18.634 --> 31:22.317 [SPEAKER_01]: If you have

right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right 32:57.908 --> 33:06.712 [SPEAKER_01]: The crazy part about entrepreneurship is that you actually don't need to sell as much as you think you need to. 33:07.812 --> 33:11.154 [SPEAKER_01]: As an entrepreneur because you only have to win some of those days, right? 33:11.954 --> 33:13.155 [SPEAKER_01]: Only only some of those days. 33:13.615 --> 33:15.376 [SPEAKER_01]: But let's see, like, what are? 33:16.670 --> 33:20.392 [SPEAKER_01]: Let's see, what are the benefits of entrepreneurship, right? 33:20.932 --> 33:23.213 [SPEAKER_01]: What are those benefits? 33:23.573 --> 33:32.477 [SPEAKER_01]: Because at the end of the day, yeah, well, okay, so I'm gonna hit on Ray, I'm gonna take quick calls and I'm gonna talk about why, why, 33:35.705 --> 33:43.613 [SPEAKER_01]: Corporate jobs can be better than entrepreneurship, and then I'm around at the episode talking about the benefits of entrepreneurship, right? 33:44.033 --> 33:45.234 [SPEAKER_01]: That's how we're going to do this right here. 33:45.555 --> 33:51.961 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so look, now you say, well, John, there has to be a better way. 33:52.642 --> 33:54.523 [SPEAKER_01]: So let's talk about it. 33:54.744 --> 33:56.986 [SPEAKER_01]: So look, why is a corporate job? 33:57.566 --> 33:59.468 [SPEAKER_01]: Why is a corporate job better than entrepreneurship? 33:59.508 --> 33:59.708 [SPEAKER_01]: Well, 34:00.575 --> 34:03.798 [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, for one, uh, that that check is coming every week. 34:04.098 --> 34:04.438 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. 34:04.739 --> 34:11.425 [SPEAKER_01]: Mar every two weeks, whatever you agree upon, whatever the standard is, every two weeks, that check is coming in. 34:11.445 --> 34:12.125 [SPEAKER_01]: They'll have you. 34:12.686 --> 34:13.827 [SPEAKER_01]: Actually, have you looking like this? 34:14.067 --> 34:14.407 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. 34:14.968 --> 34:15.788 [SPEAKER_01]: You're happy looking like this. 34:15.808 --> 34:16.369 [SPEAKER_01]: You're not way. 34:16.629 --> 34:17.830 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah, that check. 34:18.050 --> 34:19.351 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, that direct deposit hit. 34:19.652 --> 34:20.893 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, no paper checks. 34:21.173 --> 34:21.854 [SPEAKER_01]: Ooh, we're good. 34:21.874 --> 34:22.574 [SPEAKER_01]: All right. 34:22.795 --> 34:28.480 [SPEAKER_01]: So that's one thing because, you know, in full transparency, I've said it many times to show me and produce a bit of talk to body. 34:29.421 --> 34:31.743 [SPEAKER_01]: So I am doing both right now. 34:31.843 --> 34:35.567 [SPEAKER_01]: So I am doing my business in the morning before I go to work. 34:36.027 --> 34:41.072 [SPEAKER_01]: And then at night when I get off work or anytime in between, I'm working on my business, but also. 34:42.776 --> 34:46.160 [SPEAKER_01]: I work a job work at a church and I work in media. 34:46.200 --> 34:55.151 [SPEAKER_01]: So the skills that crosses over and it's beneficial both sides, but I just want to show you all my position because I for the longest was like, No, man, I want to work no job. 34:55.211 --> 34:55.971 [SPEAKER_01]: I want to work no job. 34:56.607 --> 35:00.069 [SPEAKER_01]: But it does suck when you work and work and work and work and in your business. 35:00.669 --> 35:03.190 [SPEAKER_01]: And you're accruing all these charges all this debt. 35:03.730 --> 35:09.333 [SPEAKER_01]: And then when you finally get a big check, now that check has to go to the debt, and it's like you're starting over from ground zero. 35:09.973 --> 35:10.673 [SPEAKER_01]: That's not fun. 35:11.053 --> 35:11.774 [SPEAKER_01]: It's not fun at all. 35:12.094 --> 35:19.457 [SPEAKER_01]: And also at the end of the show, I'm gonna give my take on how we can really leverage both to really win. 35:19.757 --> 35:24.119 [SPEAKER_01]: But corporate job, you got this, they won't come because Laura knows I love when I direct the positive hit. 35:25.977 --> 35:26.917 [SPEAKER_01]: Love to direct the positive. 35:26.997 --> 35:28.898 [SPEAKER_01]: No being able to put something to the house. 35:29.678 --> 35:30.539 [SPEAKER_01]: Put it towards a family. 35:30.579 --> 35:31.079 [SPEAKER_01]: So that's great. 35:31.099 --> 35:32.219 [SPEAKER_01]: They got the benefits package. 35:32.479 --> 35:32.639 [SPEAKER_01]: Right. 35:32.679 --> 35:35.980 [SPEAKER_01]: So you got health insurance, retirement for a one K if they match it. 35:36.040 --> 35:37.261 [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe maybe not. 35:37.321 --> 35:38.681 [SPEAKER_01]: It just depends on where you're at. 35:39.261 --> 35:41.742 [SPEAKER_01]: But you got some sick leave. 35:41.762 --> 35:43.362 [SPEAKER_01]: You got that PTO. 35:44.343 --> 35:46.724 [SPEAKER_01]: When you can get paid to be on vacation. 35:46.764 --> 35:47.464 [SPEAKER_01]: Do you hear me? 35:48.004 --> 35:49.044 [SPEAKER_01]: Pay to be on vacation? 35:49.484 --> 35:49.704 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. 35:49.724 --> 35:50.225 [SPEAKER_01]: That's a win. 35:50.245 --> 35:50.625 [SPEAKER_01]: That's a win. 35:50.645 --> 35:50.925 [SPEAKER_01]: That's a win. 35:52.150 --> 36:13.239 [SPEAKER_01]: Also, they're there there there there's what you got promotion you can get raises there's the opportunity for you to advance and elevate in the company if you so desire Right so there there's structure there there there there's a structure that you're coming into first the structure that you're having to create right this is why corporate job can be better potentially than entrepreneurship lower financial risk 36:15.127 --> 36:19.890 [SPEAKER_01]: You're not the one pulling out for your four or one K. You're not the one pulling out from your savings. 36:20.751 --> 36:23.912 [SPEAKER_01]: You're not taking out business loans to further the work that you're doing. 36:25.268 --> 36:29.151 [SPEAKER_01]: You're the one pulling out of the parking lot and going home, right? 36:29.231 --> 36:36.976 [SPEAKER_01]: That's where you're pulling out and you don't have to worry because all those financial responsibilities falls on the J.O.B. 36:37.376 --> 36:37.576 [SPEAKER_01]: Right? 36:38.557 --> 36:45.702 [SPEAKER_01]: There might be a little bit of work live balance there, but corporate but at the end of the day, you know the hours that you're working and once you clock out, you can be done. 36:46.322 --> 36:46.762 [SPEAKER_01]: You can be done. 36:47.843 --> 36:48.904 [SPEAKER_01]: So I work with the gentleman's names. 36:49.184 --> 36:52.406 [SPEAKER_01]: His name's Pastor Myron, but they're elder Myron, but I got the most respect for him. 36:52.706 --> 36:55.889 [SPEAKER_01]: He's probably one of the dopest leaders that I've ever worked under. 36:56.689 --> 37:01.853 [SPEAKER_01]: And he says, John, when I'm here at the church, I give it a hundred and ten percent. 37:01.913 --> 37:02.934 [SPEAKER_01]: I give it my all. 37:03.994 --> 37:06.576 [SPEAKER_01]: But when I, but when I leave here, I'm leaving here. 37:07.577 --> 37:10.619 [SPEAKER_01]: So when he's out for the days out for the day, like, don't reach out to me by work. 37:10.739 --> 37:13.161 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm good because I put in what I had at work. 37:13.881 --> 37:19.588 [SPEAKER_01]: So you have those level of boundaries typically on entrepreneurship, nah, that ain't there. 37:20.469 --> 37:21.731 [SPEAKER_01]: You got training and development. 37:22.071 --> 37:26.396 [SPEAKER_01]: So you have the opportunity to be able to learn on the company's dime in a corporate job, right? 37:26.416 --> 37:29.340 [SPEAKER_01]: So you can ask your boss, ask your CEO. 37:29.720 --> 37:30.961 [SPEAKER_01]: Hey, can I go to this conference? 37:30.981 --> 37:31.902 [SPEAKER_01]: Can I go to this thing? 37:32.303 --> 37:43.875 [SPEAKER_01]: And they often pay for those professional development opportunities, certification, skill building, or even if they don't, then they may also bring in speakers and different things like that. 37:43.915 --> 37:46.197 [SPEAKER_01]: So there's the opportunity for you to grow in that respect. 37:46.958 --> 37:48.800 [SPEAKER_01]: But then you got the team and the resources. 37:48.840 --> 37:49.901 [SPEAKER_01]: So you got colleagues. 37:50.682 --> 37:57.646 [SPEAKER_01]: And y'all know some of the people that become like friends that you work with because you'll see each other every day like you get to build those relationships. 37:58.307 --> 38:00.548 [SPEAKER_01]: Those are beneficial and those are pretty cool. 38:01.309 --> 38:04.010 [SPEAKER_01]: So there's that and then this was my favorite. 38:05.231 --> 38:06.432 [SPEAKER_01]: You don't have to chase clients. 38:08.193 --> 38:09.874 [SPEAKER_01]: Your work is tied to the company's goals. 38:10.501 --> 38:19.307 [SPEAKER_01]: Your work isn't tied necessarily to, you know, you making sales or our lead generation, unless you work for, you work in that role for that company. 38:19.867 --> 38:24.190 [SPEAKER_01]: And more than likely, you would be getting paid commission, which is entrepreneurship in itself. 38:25.791 --> 38:37.598 [SPEAKER_01]: But then, yeah, you know, with with with with with the company taken out the taxes, the legal compliance stuff, you have that point of contact to where you can learn more. 38:39.207 --> 38:49.570 [SPEAKER_01]: All because, are you gonna lean in more, all because you're working for a corporation and not necessarily looking at, you know, you working for your, yourself, are you building an entity? 38:50.670 --> 38:53.451 [SPEAKER_01]: But, you know, there's those things, those areas. 38:53.511 --> 38:58.472 [SPEAKER_01]: And this makes it beneficial to have a corporate job, right? 38:58.932 --> 39:03.954 [SPEAKER_01]: Even though sometimes we, sometimes people here, jobs, and I was, I was people. 39:04.474 --> 39:05.034 [SPEAKER_01]: I was people. 39:05.094 --> 39:07.175 [SPEAKER_01]: I was like, oh, no, I ain't working for nobody. 39:07.195 --> 39:08.075 [SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to work for nobody. 39:08.554 --> 39:09.675 [SPEAKER_01]: Nah, I want my time back. 39:09.715 --> 39:10.495 [SPEAKER_01]: I want my time back. 39:10.535 --> 39:11.616 [SPEAKER_01]: We hear that so often. 39:12.937 --> 39:17.300 [SPEAKER_01]: But what are you sacrificing to get that time back? 39:18.781 --> 39:20.663 [SPEAKER_01]: Like, what are you really sacrificing? 39:21.803 --> 39:25.106 [SPEAKER_01]: Just to say that you're an entrepreneur, to say that you're a business owner. 39:25.626 --> 39:26.367 [SPEAKER_01]: What does that look like? 39:27.027 --> 39:28.428 [SPEAKER_01]: So I wanted to share those with you all. 39:28.808 --> 39:33.712 [SPEAKER_01]: So that's the benefits of working at a job versus entrepreneurship. 39:35.122 --> 39:36.222 [SPEAKER_01]: But we're going to come right back. 39:36.242 --> 39:43.044 [SPEAKER_01]: And when we come back then, I'm going to give you the benefits of entrepreneurship, okay?

41:05.866 --> 41:10.947 [SPEAKER_01]: Right, earlier I was, I was hitting on some of the benefits of being an entrepreneur as well as what I was hitting on. 41:11.927 --> 41:19.069 [SPEAKER_01]: Why you don't want to be an entrepreneur and then I just addressed and talked about the benefits of working for a corporation, okay? 41:19.789 --> 41:21.069 [SPEAKER_01]: The benefits of work for a corporation. 41:21.690 --> 41:28.111 [SPEAKER_01]: Now what I want to do is I want to talk a little bit about the benefits of being an entrepreneur. 41:28.891 --> 41:32.032 [SPEAKER_01]: John, are there really benefits for being an entrepreneur? 41:33.100 --> 41:35.722 [SPEAKER_01]: Are you sure about that? 41:36.282 --> 41:37.263 [SPEAKER_01]: Are you sure about that? 41:37.323 --> 41:39.344 [SPEAKER_01]: Well, I guess we're gonna see together. 41:39.865 --> 42:01.260 [SPEAKER_01]: If there are benefits of being entrepreneur and what the benefits are in, like I said last year, I'm gonna give my recommendation here because I think this is one of those things to where it's most beneficial because one way we shortchange people online and with social media as we say, you should do this and you should do that, but we don't give people 42:02.160 --> 42:05.462 [SPEAKER_01]: the full picture nor do we give people both sides of the equation. 42:05.862 --> 42:09.544 [SPEAKER_01]: So what I'm about to do, I'm about to get the other side of the equation. 42:09.564 --> 42:19.670 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm about to get the other side of this entrepreneurship equation so that you can make the best decision for yourself. 42:19.950 --> 42:22.011 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, let's let's go and get to it. 42:22.051 --> 42:22.832 [SPEAKER_01]: Let's go and get to it. 42:23.252 --> 42:24.493 [SPEAKER_01]: All right, so first and foremost, 42:26.134 --> 42:34.581 [SPEAKER_01]: being an entrepreneur, one of the great benefits of being an entrepreneur is the fact that you, you have flexibility, right? 42:35.041 --> 42:38.584 [SPEAKER_01]: So you get to control your schedule, your location, your work style. 42:38.924 --> 42:39.985 [SPEAKER_01]: Like, where do I want to work today? 42:40.025 --> 42:41.266 [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe I want to work from Starbucks today? 42:41.326 --> 42:42.467 [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe I want to work from the coffee shop? 42:42.987 --> 42:44.589 [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe I want to work from my kids play room. 42:44.749 --> 42:45.910 [SPEAKER_01]: It don't matter, okay? 42:46.390 --> 42:49.232 [SPEAKER_01]: You get the flexibility and the freedom to control that. 42:50.213 --> 42:52.954 [SPEAKER_01]: Let's say that your significant other gets sick. 42:53.334 --> 43:00.456 [SPEAKER_01]: For me, there have been times to where my wife got sick and I probably was on like leave or something like that. 43:01.097 --> 43:05.058 [SPEAKER_01]: I had the ability to take her to the appointment, right? 43:05.518 --> 43:07.719 [SPEAKER_01]: Not asking nobody, not checking with nobody. 43:08.539 --> 43:09.740 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, you go to the doctor. 43:10.300 --> 43:10.660 [SPEAKER_01]: Let's go. 43:11.040 --> 43:23.902 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so that there's that freedom there and that really matters, especially considering the fact that, you know, you might need to, to, to, to, to doctor visits, but even your kids might have a play. 43:24.563 --> 43:26.283 [SPEAKER_01]: Your kids might have something going on in school. 43:26.823 --> 43:33.984 [SPEAKER_01]: You want to be able to go and attend those things without having to answer any questions, without having to check any boxes. 43:34.384 --> 43:35.465 [SPEAKER_01]: That's the freedom right there. 43:35.765 --> 43:37.885 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, that, that, that, that's that freedom right there. 43:38.315 --> 43:45.240 [SPEAKER_01]: Number two is unlimited, unlimited, income potential. 43:45.260 --> 44:03.292 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so if you're one of those people who's like me, like I try not to be like one of those toxic positive people because I've begun to learn at one point I was extremely like no matter what people were going through, I would always try to give them the positive and people don't always want that. 44:05.154 --> 44:06.735 [SPEAKER_01]: But in this world of entrepreneurship, 44:08.023 --> 44:10.385 [SPEAKER_01]: I operate in abundance. 44:10.465 --> 44:16.151 [SPEAKER_01]: I always see the opportunity bigger than what it potentially is, but I always see it at its highest level. 44:16.691 --> 44:19.894 [SPEAKER_01]: And you're income potential. 44:20.995 --> 44:22.256 [SPEAKER_01]: There's no cap to it. 44:23.217 --> 44:24.818 [SPEAKER_01]: No salary cap, right? 44:25.378 --> 44:28.519 [SPEAKER_01]: You have the ability to wear your income as time to your results. 44:29.139 --> 44:32.640 [SPEAKER_01]: So whatever work you put in, you can go get them results right there. 44:32.980 --> 44:34.180 [SPEAKER_01]: Then you got credit control. 44:34.240 --> 44:38.002 [SPEAKER_01]: So you can like you can build something the way that you desire to build it. 44:38.782 --> 44:41.883 [SPEAKER_01]: Not the way that somebody else wants to build. 44:42.263 --> 44:43.663 [SPEAKER_01]: Not the way that they want to tweak it. 44:45.124 --> 44:47.004 [SPEAKER_01]: You build it the way you want to. 44:47.785 --> 44:48.145 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. 44:48.185 --> 44:48.965 [SPEAKER_01]: No questions asked. 44:50.512 --> 44:51.893 [SPEAKER_01]: So that creative control is major. 44:52.993 --> 44:54.734 [SPEAKER_01]: Creative control is major. 44:54.794 --> 44:59.695 [SPEAKER_01]: Then there is just the aspect of, you get a level of personal fulfillment. 45:01.236 --> 45:12.720 [SPEAKER_01]: Working for somebody, the majority of people, and put like this, the majority of people who work for other people, they are just, not the majority. 45:12.980 --> 45:18.762 [SPEAKER_01]: But a large handful of people that work for other people, different jobs, et cetera, they're showing up just getting a check. 45:19.977 --> 45:28.006 [SPEAKER_01]: When I was a teacher, there were some people that were showing up just to get a check, which is why to say. 45:28.867 --> 45:32.831 [SPEAKER_01]: But at its core level, teaching is also a job like everything else. 45:33.953 --> 45:39.859 [SPEAKER_01]: But when you're on entrepreneurship, you get level of personal fulfillment because you're working on your passion. 45:40.780 --> 45:46.582 [SPEAKER_01]: And it can turn into your livelihood and this is going to give you a deep level of reward because you're going to be excited about this. 45:47.023 --> 45:47.543 [SPEAKER_01]: You're going to love it. 45:47.763 --> 45:54.085 [SPEAKER_01]: You got a level of direct impact right you get to see the immediate results of what comes from what you built what you've done. 45:56.326 --> 45:57.887 [SPEAKER_01]: Ownership and equity. 45:59.272 --> 45:59.772 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah. 46:00.553 --> 46:01.113 [SPEAKER_01]: Ownership. 46:01.893 --> 46:08.397 [SPEAKER_01]: This is an asset that you build that you can sell or you can pass down and you can leverage Byron Allen. 46:08.817 --> 46:15.400 [SPEAKER_01]: I saw I saw a meme the other day saying that he is getting ready to sell or he just sold. 46:18.061 --> 46:22.964 [SPEAKER_01]: double digits of some companies and people are mad. 46:23.044 --> 46:29.466 [SPEAKER_01]: Like is he right that he builds up these shows and builds up these companies and then sells it to the other people? 46:31.187 --> 46:31.667 [SPEAKER_01]: Is he right? 46:31.887 --> 46:32.328 [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know. 46:32.488 --> 46:32.988 [SPEAKER_01]: Is he wrong? 46:33.188 --> 46:37.510 [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, but he has the ability to do it because he built them up and he's an opposition to sell them. 46:37.850 --> 46:38.150 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. 46:39.311 --> 46:44.533 [SPEAKER_01]: But you know, with with also this land of entrepreneurship, 46:46.629 --> 46:56.719 [SPEAKER_01]: you get to connect with other entrepreneurs, get to connect with investors, get to connect with leaders because it's just a level of networking, right? 46:56.739 --> 47:01.203 [SPEAKER_01]: For you to be able to talk to speak about your business and even pitch your business, right? 47:01.223 --> 47:08.870 [SPEAKER_01]: To where you could get invested if you desire, but with investors comes some strings attached because there are some requirements and expectations there. 47:09.751 --> 47:18.634 [SPEAKER_01]: But then get this, legacy building, legacy building one more time, legacy building. 47:19.334 --> 47:29.438 [SPEAKER_01]: You get to create something that gets to outlast you, make an impact on not only your community, not only your industry, but your family and the world at large. 47:30.058 --> 47:33.019 [SPEAKER_01]: My son, every time he sees me, 47:34.698 --> 47:37.039 [SPEAKER_01]: Sit down at this chair, sit in front of this microphone. 47:37.759 --> 47:39.400 [SPEAKER_01]: He wants to sit in front of the microphone. 47:40.000 --> 47:41.921 [SPEAKER_01]: He sees me starting to work with the camera. 47:43.501 --> 47:44.662 [SPEAKER_01]: He wants to work with the camera. 47:46.102 --> 47:47.203 [SPEAKER_01]: It's pretty dope to see. 47:47.303 --> 47:50.444 [SPEAKER_01]: And I'm going to be excited to see what he decides to do in the future. 47:50.964 --> 47:53.025 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to make him be a speaker. 47:53.045 --> 47:56.066 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to make him be a podcast or nothing like that. 47:56.466 --> 48:01.748 [SPEAKER_01]: But he is going to be influenced because if he's around me often, he's going to see me podcasting. 48:02.287 --> 48:04.428 [SPEAKER_01]: He's gonna see me speaking and he will be around me often. 48:04.508 --> 48:07.969 [SPEAKER_01]: So, what my oldest son, we're gonna see what my youngest son decides to do. 48:08.709 --> 48:09.689 [SPEAKER_01]: He's not walking just yet. 48:10.409 --> 48:13.450 [SPEAKER_01]: But you get the opportunity to build that legacy and then pass this thing down. 48:14.170 --> 48:19.872 [SPEAKER_01]: Or I can build it, I can sell it and then give my sons, or my family, that money. 48:21.052 --> 48:22.753 [SPEAKER_01]: So these are just some of the benefits 48:24.696 --> 48:27.097 [SPEAKER_01]: of what being an entrepreneur looks like. 48:27.937 --> 48:31.579 [SPEAKER_01]: Benefits of what entrepreneurship can give to you, right? 48:31.899 --> 48:37.761 [SPEAKER_01]: And then somebody says, well, John, well, what, what do you say that I should do? 48:39.001 --> 48:40.782 [SPEAKER_01]: John, John, what's the best result? 48:40.802 --> 48:45.024 [SPEAKER_01]: And y'all let me know down in the chat if you're entrepreneur or if you work for a company, let me know down in the chat. 48:45.184 --> 48:53.047 [SPEAKER_01]: I want to know, because I always like to know and see who we're talking to, who our audience is and where you at, like checking with me one time. 48:53.931 --> 49:01.620 [SPEAKER_01]: But now the question becomes, what's the best benefit for me? 49:02.602 --> 49:05.785 [SPEAKER_01]: Well, if it was my turn, 49:09.149 --> 49:12.631 [SPEAKER_01]: to go back and do entrepreneurship all over again. 49:13.011 --> 49:14.392 [SPEAKER_01]: Start a business all over again. 49:15.092 --> 49:24.858 [SPEAKER_01]: Number one, I would get really, really, really clear on a low cost model of entrepreneurship. 49:26.593 --> 49:28.074 [SPEAKER_01]: at first, right? 49:28.594 --> 49:31.035 [SPEAKER_01]: So what I did was I was speaking. 49:32.296 --> 49:38.098 [SPEAKER_01]: So this was low costs, but when I would say is, you know, you start to get that money. 49:39.339 --> 49:40.299 [SPEAKER_01]: Put some of that bread back. 49:41.680 --> 49:43.160 [SPEAKER_01]: Always put some of that bread back. 49:43.620 --> 49:45.781 [SPEAKER_01]: Live off the lease that you can live off of. 49:45.921 --> 49:48.322 [SPEAKER_01]: If you're working a job, why you, okay, here's the blueprint. 49:48.362 --> 49:49.123 [SPEAKER_01]: Here's let's just do it. 49:49.183 --> 49:49.843 [SPEAKER_01]: Let's just do it. 49:50.363 --> 49:51.044 [SPEAKER_01]: Let's just do it. 49:51.144 --> 49:51.824 [SPEAKER_01]: Here's the blueprint. 49:54.428 --> 50:07.694 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so I would say you start speaking, okay, and you can start volunteering speaking anywhere and then you know to get some reps in and get that under your belt, but start speaking. 50:11.860 --> 50:15.761 [SPEAKER_01]: Start speaking or find a way you can generate revenue on the front end, okay? 50:16.541 --> 50:19.861 [SPEAKER_01]: Then we're gonna start putting some of that money back. 50:20.602 --> 50:25.802 [SPEAKER_01]: I would say at least put back fifty percent if you could because you would thank me later, trust me on this. 50:26.263 --> 50:28.763 [SPEAKER_01]: So you're speaking, you're getting paid, you're putting that money back. 50:29.223 --> 50:34.084 [SPEAKER_01]: But then the next thing that you want to do is that you want to still be working a job. 50:35.264 --> 50:36.864 [SPEAKER_01]: John, what still work a job? 50:37.164 --> 50:37.424 [SPEAKER_01]: Yes. 50:38.205 --> 50:40.505 [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, hear me hear me hear me and good on this one. 50:41.874 --> 50:55.901 [SPEAKER_01]: You now have a steady income coming in to where now the passion or the dream or the desire or the business that you want to create will and can create income. 50:56.782 --> 50:59.143 [SPEAKER_01]: But starting out, it's not always going to create income. 51:00.345 --> 51:03.248 [SPEAKER_01]: So now you have the job to offset the rest of the expenses. 51:03.728 --> 51:10.414 [SPEAKER_01]: So now you can hustle and be in a position of hustle without true, true, true stress on you like that. 51:10.434 --> 51:14.658 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so there's that then the other party is why you're working the job. 51:15.807 --> 51:17.087 [SPEAKER_01]: There may be some off days. 51:17.768 --> 51:19.408 [SPEAKER_01]: You may have PTO days. 51:19.908 --> 51:27.710 [SPEAKER_01]: So then as you get speaking opportunities, you can put in a day for PTO, get paid to take that day off from work. 51:28.711 --> 51:30.671 [SPEAKER_01]: But then go and speak on that day. 51:30.711 --> 51:34.112 [SPEAKER_01]: So now you're getting two incomes on that one day. 51:34.952 --> 51:36.933 [SPEAKER_01]: And let's just say you get five hundred dollars. 51:37.313 --> 51:42.354 [SPEAKER_01]: So now that's the extra five hundred dollars that you can go ahead and stash back. 51:42.754 --> 51:43.015 [SPEAKER_01]: And then 51:45.266 --> 51:48.388 [SPEAKER_01]: After you do that, now you're going to begin to develop a system. 51:49.168 --> 51:57.353 [SPEAKER_01]: Because depending on what business you work in, or work for, and what area you're working in, they're not going to work the twenty four seven year around. 51:57.814 --> 52:01.876 [SPEAKER_01]: So then you can begin to strategically start to identify the days that you have off. 52:02.456 --> 52:10.862 [SPEAKER_01]: And then those days that you have off, if you coordinate with, you know, some places, you can begin to speak on those days. 52:11.422 --> 52:12.723 [SPEAKER_01]: And that's if you become a speaker, 52:13.610 --> 52:23.035 [SPEAKER_01]: Right, there are other low cost business models because you can also begin to sell consulting and you can sell consulting on your lunch break. 52:23.415 --> 52:25.296 [SPEAKER_01]: So now you don't have to take days off. 52:25.797 --> 52:33.781 [SPEAKER_01]: You can just be sitting there on your lunch break, schedule a business call, handle that business call, get that bread and then move on about your day. 52:35.621 --> 52:49.456 [SPEAKER_01]: So now you're beginning to maximize the leisure time to where when you used to watch a show on Netflix or you used to read a book or you used to gossip during lunch. 52:49.817 --> 52:57.045 [SPEAKER_01]: Now you have the opportunity and you have the time to where you can sit there and you can be being constructive with that time. 52:57.565 --> 53:13.721 [SPEAKER_01]: right so so doing that right so now you're scheduling so let's say consulting because anybody can do the anybody who has an level of experience and a skillset to be able to help somebody get from point A to point B that's all consulting is helping somebody get from point A to point B remember that 53:14.982 --> 53:21.984 [SPEAKER_01]: So now, not only are you scheduling consulting calls in your lunch break, you also can schedule calls right after you get off. 53:22.505 --> 53:25.666 [SPEAKER_01]: Or if you get off early, then you can coordinate calls at that same time. 53:26.286 --> 53:27.446 [SPEAKER_01]: John, why am I going to do this? 53:27.786 --> 53:37.650 [SPEAKER_01]: Because now what you're going to do is you're going to begin to see the time that you actually are utilizing for your business in real time. 53:38.390 --> 53:45.453 [SPEAKER_01]: because if you just say, I'm being entrepreneur, I'm gonna start a business and then you get a office and you're sitting in that office. 53:46.294 --> 53:51.096 [SPEAKER_01]: You're not going to be as productive with that time as you think you initially would be. 53:52.348 --> 53:54.729 [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, like, these guys have to be honest about it. 53:56.350 --> 53:57.391 [SPEAKER_01]: And I'm not telling you what I think. 53:57.431 --> 53:58.552 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm telling you from experience. 53:58.892 --> 53:59.072 [SPEAKER_01]: Right. 53:59.172 --> 54:12.820 [SPEAKER_01]: So understanding that we need to really begin to hone in on where those gaps, to where maybe we work a job and to where when we're done doing the work they let us leave early, or we're done doing the work, then we can do our own thing. 54:12.840 --> 54:14.081 [SPEAKER_01]: They just got to keep us on campus. 54:14.181 --> 54:21.225 [SPEAKER_01]: Well, hey, you now can stay on campus at your job and you can begin to feel that time with consulting calls. 54:22.690 --> 54:32.940 [SPEAKER_01]: So now as you're beginning to build clients you're beginning to bring in more people as you're beginning to as you're beginning to do this now you're seeing in real time. 54:34.722 --> 54:51.250 [SPEAKER_01]: how you can begin to leverage the time that you have, and it's gonna get to the point to where you'll be so busy to where you either have to leave your job, or you'll be so busy to where your entrepreneurship endeavor has overtaken the job. 54:51.870 --> 54:53.771 [SPEAKER_01]: But let me also give this caveat, okay? 54:54.171 --> 54:58.293 [SPEAKER_01]: Let me give this caveat, because I can give you that blueprint all day, because I almost go do that right now. 54:59.788 --> 55:06.570 [SPEAKER_01]: There's a level of just focus and persistence that has to come with it. 55:08.007 --> 55:20.540 [SPEAKER_01]: There's a level of you being able to be extremely determined, you allowing yourself to commit to learning other skill sets. 55:20.980 --> 55:25.965 [SPEAKER_01]: Because as money comes in, you're going to have to start determining, okay, I need to put this to the advertisers. 55:26.986 --> 55:28.968 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I need to put this to the side in case I need something. 55:29.929 --> 55:33.850 [SPEAKER_01]: But going back to what I said initially, I said try to put fifty percent back. 55:34.230 --> 55:43.512 [SPEAKER_01]: Because if you can put fifty percent back, not only can you buy things in cash, but you can begin to leverage credit. 55:43.532 --> 55:45.312 [SPEAKER_01]: So you can pay for some on a credit card. 55:46.173 --> 55:48.993 [SPEAKER_01]: And then you can then pay it off on a credit card because you already had the money. 55:49.053 --> 55:50.614 [SPEAKER_01]: And now you're building your credit as well. 55:50.894 --> 55:53.414 [SPEAKER_01]: That's a whole another conversation, whole another situation. 55:53.834 --> 55:56.175 [SPEAKER_01]: But y'all at the end of the day, I'm an advocate. 55:56.835 --> 55:57.616 [SPEAKER_01]: Front's partnership. 55:57.776 --> 55:58.096 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. 55:58.657 --> 56:03.201 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to advocate for it all day through and through. 56:03.401 --> 56:04.102 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm an entrepreneur. 56:04.302 --> 56:04.743 [SPEAKER_01]: I believe it. 56:04.843 --> 56:05.263 [SPEAKER_01]: I know it. 56:07.605 --> 56:17.254 [SPEAKER_01]: However, if you have a family that you're providing for or you're contributing to and they need money right now. 56:18.938 --> 56:25.520 [SPEAKER_01]: You gotta take a second, and you gotta assess, is entrepreneurship best for you right now. 56:25.560 --> 56:28.080 [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe, maybe, maybe not. 56:28.740 --> 56:44.244 [SPEAKER_01]: Or, or you can continue to work a job, or find a job, and then as you begin to get some breathing room, then you can see what you could potentially pursue as an entrepreneur, but at the end of it, do it all. 56:49.303 --> 56:51.024 [SPEAKER_01]: We just have to make a decision for our lives. 56:52.925 --> 56:57.007 [SPEAKER_01]: Because your corporate job is never going to have an unlimited salary. 56:57.867 --> 57:01.009 [SPEAKER_01]: They will have benefits, but never unlimited salary. 57:01.589 --> 57:03.070 [SPEAKER_01]: And then your entrepreneurship endeavors. 57:04.541 --> 57:07.682 [SPEAKER_01]: are never going to lead to being stressed free. 57:08.642 --> 57:11.563 [SPEAKER_01]: There's always going to be some form of stress coming through entrepreneurship. 57:12.323 --> 57:13.924 [SPEAKER_01]: So make the best decision for you, family. 57:14.004 --> 57:15.084 [SPEAKER_01]: Make the best decision for you. 57:16.204 --> 57:17.104 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to push. 57:17.144 --> 57:17.965 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to pull. 57:18.085 --> 57:19.445 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to tell you what to do. 57:19.945 --> 57:21.326 [SPEAKER_01]: You had to determine what's best for you. 57:21.566 --> 57:23.046 [SPEAKER_01]: You know, drop something down in the chat. 57:23.106 --> 57:24.787 [SPEAKER_01]: Let me know what you thought about this episode. 57:24.827 --> 57:25.927 [SPEAKER_01]: Let me know if there's been a fish. 57:26.207 --> 57:27.167 [SPEAKER_01]: Let me know what you learned. 57:27.207 --> 57:28.007 [SPEAKER_01]: Drop something in the chat. 57:28.088 --> 57:29.468 [SPEAKER_01]: I just want to know what you're learning today. 57:30.008 --> 57:57.135 [SPEAKER_01]: from this teaching me Tuesday on are you sure that you want to be honest with nor okay are you sure you'll be honest with so yeah family at the end of the day choose what makes the most sense for you in this season that you're in right now in mind you it's not permanent it's not permanent but you make a decision do you need to do so you can move on and say you win all right family hit that subscribe button if you have not hit it already and make sure to smash that thumbs up button 57:58.075 --> 58:00.056 [SPEAKER_01]: And family, I'm Jonathan Jones. 58:00.536 --> 58:02.357 [SPEAKER_01]: This is Speaker Success in the morning. 58:02.377 --> 58:04.338 [SPEAKER_01]: Remember, remember, remember, remember, all right. 58:04.978 --> 58:06.339 [SPEAKER_01]: Speak your success. 58:06.999 --> 58:14.003 [SPEAKER_01]: Believe in your greatness and continue to create the life and business of your dream. 58:14.863 --> 58:15.443 [SPEAKER_01]: Why would you?
