Transcript

On today's episode of Gathering The Kings. When I first started, I was just helping people optimize every area of their life, but the thing was started realizing I could give someone the exact blueprint. I'm like, just follow The, and you will be the most powerful version of yourself, your energy, your mental alertness, your performance will just be on next level. But guess what? They wouldn't execute it. And then I started realizing like, okay. This is like a reoccurring theme.

People know exactly what they need to do to get to the next level. Chaz they fail to consistently do it. And so I I've had a lot of experience with this and learning how the human brain works. So started putting this in my program. And then the results from that section of the program were just exploding people's businesses. Like, not only that, but, like, their self belief in their confidence in themselves to get their business to the next level.

You are listening to Gathering the Kings with Chaz Wolfe featuring fellow 78 and even 9 figure business owners who have real battle scars from business and life. But have prevailed as the king that they are designed to be. We welcome high performing entrepreneurs to the stage in order to reveal the reel of the reel. On what it takes to build a successful business today. We dissect the good and bad decisions they've made along The and how you too can get there.

Through this dialogue, you will learn the value of growing your network and surrounding yourself with power players and Kings like today's guest. Grab your pen and notebook because we're about to dive in. What's up, everybody? Wolfe. Gathering the Kings. I'm your host. We're back at you. I got another king here on the stage. Adam Lucero, my brother. How are we doing? I'm doing fantastic. Excited to be here. Dude, it's freaking Monday. I love Mondays. You love Mondays?

Mhmm. I mean, every day is the same day for me. I mean, as entrepreneurs, it's like, I work weekdays. I work weekends. Time is whatever, you know, just every moments, there's disorientated. That's right. That's right. I was just The past week. I was float in the Colorado River with some of our Gavin Kings mastermind members.

And this is something that haven't brought up in any shows yet, but we were talking about how Collectively, all of us were like, our hobbies really are our business, our family, you know, all the things that you've just said, which is like, hey. Just every day, I Kings obsess about same things over and over. Adam, I gotta know. What kind of business do you have, my brother?

Basically, I help entrepreneurs kill procrastination so The see more consistency in their sales and revenue and obviously scale to new heights. They haven't been. That's it in plain plain simple terms, but I like to think of myself as total human optimization. Every aspect, mindset, habits, nutrition, fitness, boost your energy levels. And from a to z, I got you. I love it, man.

And when you say kill procrastination, it's almost as if you know that procrastination is a big deal or a potential pain point for some entrepreneurs. So, I mean, again, when I first started, I was just helping people optimize every area of their life. The thing was started realizing I could give someone the exact blueprint. I could just follow The, and you will be the most powerful version of yourself, your energy, your mental alertness, your performance will just be on next level.

But guess what? They wouldn't execute it. And then I started realizing like, okay, this is like a reoccurring theme. People know exactly what they need to do to get to the next level but they fail to consistently do it. And so I I've had a lot of experience with this and learning how the human brain works. So I started putting this in my program, and then The results from that section of the program are just exploding people's businesses.

Like, not only that, but, like, their self belief in their confidence in themselves to get their business to the next level. And so, really, that's kind of how it all stemmed from there. And, yeah, basically, it's transformed since then. Dude, we're gonna have a great conversation here because what we're talking about is the foundation for success in any area, right, which is why your client see so much result in all these areas because, yes, we need to build consistency.

Yes. We need to build habits. But underneath all those things, self image, confidence, beliefs in ourselves, all of those things really, really matter. So you've done some research here. You've become a pro in this area. So tell us why why does the belief or the the mind underneath it all. Why does it matter so much? Yeah. I mean, always say it's like your business is a direct reflection of you.

And so good example he uses, like, this is why you see some entrepreneurs just crush every single business time and time again on repeat. Elon Musk, perfect example. Not a perfect, because most people can't relate to him, but he's a good example nonetheless, because it's like his 3 separate multibillion dollar businesses, SpaceX, Tesla Nurlink, and he achieved this consistent results because of who he is, the way he thinks, the way he perceives the Wolfe, and the way he acts.

And so, really, The is why you see some people just conquer all areas of life is because of who they are and really their beliefs in themselves. But usually The beliefs change as a result of how powerfully you're operating what level you operate at. Yeah. And I would agree with that in my own in my own history. It's it's like one begots The next, and it it almost, like, builds on a on itself. Right?

So you can have a little bit of confidence or even maybe not even confidence, and you're trying something brand new. I used to teach six people this all the time. Like, if I could just get you to just take a little bit of action Mhmm. Then you get a little bit of result. And then you're like, I can do it. So that confidence is just like, boom. It's like electric, baby. Mhmm. And now we start making more phone calls or or not knocking more doors, whatever it is.

Yeah. And it literally builds on itself. What what is that about the psyche that does this to us? Yeah. I mean, I think a lot of it just habits and and then there's probably chemical releases like dopamine and other factors like that. So it's a combination of all of The. But, yeah, I mean, it's just a good example. It's like most people play the short term game rather than the long term.

And so this is why, you know, most people feel that their nearest resolutions are failed to consistently work out because they don't The point where they see the results and get the release of chemicals in their brain, or they'll solidify the habits and then they quit before then. But it's like if you look at any of the most successful they all play the long term.

And so it's really just giving yourself to a point where you play the long game instead of the short term of letting your emotions dictate letting your circumstances dictate your actions or whatever it may be. Yeah. Yeah. That long term game, I think, I mean, we all know it. We delay gratification. You can you can categorize it in a couple of different ways. Yeah. But you're right. Not many people do it. In fact, a hot name right now, Alex from Ozi.

He just had a big weekend this past weekend with his book launch. But he talks about making decisions in a longer time horizon. Right? And if I can make decisions as opposed to a couple of days, a couple of weeks, a set of a couple of weeks, a couple of months, or set a couple of years, or set a couple of years, maybe a couple of decades. Mhmm. The impact of those decisions is typically bigger and better if I can like, hold out for that long. Would you agree with that?

Yeah. Absolutely. And so, I mean, that's that's true with any any entrepreneur I've ever seen ones that are 7, multi 7 figures, they all play the long term game. And so it's getting yourself to a state where you actually perform that way is the issue. Right? Everyone knows it consciously. Oh, I've heard instant gratification long term, but it's a matter of getting yourself to operate in that way. That's where the real power is.

Knowledge is only powerful when you actually implement it or use it in your life. Right. Well, I I I couldn't be more in alignment with you, and I wanna break this down a little bit because Really, the show's crux on good and bad decisions. I genuinely believe that we are where we are because of the decisions that we've made. Mhmm. And so what's the decision that you've made or maybe something that the listener can do today?

We're talking about this superhuman effect, and I'm I'm gonna go win in all areas. Mhmm. But it's based on belief, self confidence, self image, and then there's, like, this next level of action and the next level of all these things we gotta go do. Okay. Well, what's the first Gathering, or what's the best decision that you've made that we could go implement in this in this direction? Yep. All of the first and biggest impact in your life is literally boiled down to one thing.

Keep your promises to yourself. It's literally that simple. I mean, think about it this way. It's like, what would your body look like right now if you kept your word to work out and eat healthy from 2 years ago? How much further along in your business would you be? You kept your word to be productive and hammer out your tutor list every single day. And how would this change in your productivity and what you're accomplishing change how you feel about yourself.

And so it's like, we never tell ourselves we're gonna do something that doesn't benefit our life. No one wakes up and goes, oh, let me drink a alcohol and eat a bunch of bad food stays. Like, no. No. You don't do that. You only tell yourself Kings you Chaz are gonna improve your life. Being able to form the habit of keeping your promises to yourself is profound. It's literally what separates the most successful entrepreneurs.

Like, you won't find many multi 7 figure entrepreneurs and beyond, they break their promises and their commitments to themselves. They just don't. And yeah. So, I mean, when you look at some of the entrepreneurs that are the 5 or low 6 figures, and they tend to break The promises to themselves. And because of that, they lose confidence in themselves. They don't know if they're gonna be productive. They don't know gonna do these things they know they need to do.

And so that's really the one key I'd really boil into anyone that's trying to level up their themselves their business and their life. Yeah. I love that. We were in that same group just this past week in Colorado. We were talking about, you know, diff differentiators between, entrepreneurs. Of course, I've interviewed 100 at this point, successful entrepreneurs like yourself, and we were talking about differentiators.

And one of the things I said is, like, you know, I know based on my experience with the 5 guys that I was with, as well as all the ones that's interviewed that have been, you know, super successful. And it's like, I know that in whatever situation, even though they may have the answer initially figure it out, but eventually Chaz they Wolfe. Mhmm. Because they've already proven it in history. Like, I can look back at my history, and I can go, okay.

There's been moments where I didn't what to do, or I was in a sticky situation, and I still figured it out. It's and so this history that we can look back on, right? David Goggins calls up the cookie you look back and you can go, I freaking crushed it then. I now have even more belief that even though maybe I don't know what to do now or I'm gonna it's in that moment where you're like, oh, do I keep my promise to myself?

I'm gonna read up and go, well, of course, I am because I've done it before. I know that I can do it, and this is how I went. Mhmm. Is that like is that what you're saying in that moment? You're able to look back on the The? And if so, what if somebody's listening right now and they don't have that history yet? What do they do? Of having to look back. Yeah. That can give you some reassurance, but it's all about what you do in the present moment. Your passes are relevant.

Yeah. I mean, you can look at the past and say, oh, I haven't been able to do this in the past where I have. Chaz might make you more prone to either take action or not take action because you form the habit, but you don't need to be looking at the past in my opinion. It's like just a matter of making the decision that's gonna benefit your long term in that moment.

So that's another thing is, like, a lot of these entrepreneurs, especially the ones I work with, they view, like, each day as a loss or a win. So If they make one bad mistake, they're like, oh, today's ruined tomorrow. I'll get back on track and they they make a series of more poor decisions. But I'm like, you can only ever make decisions in the present moment.

And so it's like this fallacy that The just saying, oh, I lost today, but it it's about conquering as many of the small battles in your day as possible. It's not binary. Did I win today or lose dates? How many of the battles did I win today? How many did I lose today? And then reflect, like, okay, maybe you made some poor choices that you regret and you aren't happy with and you beat yourself up, well, okay, analyze it.

What caused you to be in The situation where you were more prone to say, no to the decisions. Were you so exhausted, or were you in a bad mental state? Okay. What are you gonna do in the future? Because the thing is you're gonna have more times in the future where you are retired, where you are in a bad mental space, but are you just gonna give up every single time you're in that situation, or do you wanna find a solution so that next time you don't keep the same mistakes.

Yeah. Do you find Adam that that that moment right there where it's like Hush comes to shove and I'm really faced with that specific decision. Is it the pain of I don't want this to keep going the same direction that makes me go, you know what? Enough is enough, or is it confident in myself that something can be different? Like, what different about that moment when you make that decision because both you and I are using this a similar language.

Mhmm. But for you, for your clients, what what happens in that moment for them to, like, really solidify actually make that decision? Yes. I wouldn't say I know exactly what happens solidify that decision in that exact moment because I'm not in not with them when they make that decision. But I would just have to talk about a little bit of the the change that happens beforehand to cause them to make better decisions.

And, yeah, a lot of it's just kind of realizing what their life's gonna look like in 2, 5, 10 years if they continue on this trajectory, And again, just really giving them Chaz perspective shift that motivates them or inspires them to create the change in their life. So that's really what our program does is it kinda walks them through this process Chaz opens up their level of awareness and shows them what's gonna be their life if they don't change anything.

Again, why this is so important to them. And usually, as they walk through this process, it gets easier, it's easier to make the change. And then guess what happens? Week 2, week 3, things start to become habits And now this momentum is now lifting you up rather than pulling you back. The same force that was pulling you back and calling you causing you to self sabotage and procrastinate Now it's lifting you up. Then when you get to that point, you pretty much win because then it's, like, easy.

You got the momentum carrying you forward and boom. That's right. That's right. Even if you do make the wrong choice in that in that moment. It's easy to just pick right back up and keep going. Mhmm. It's good to know that, you know, that it it takes a process. That can also be scary though, you know, for somebody listening right now that's like, oh, man, you're I mean, it's good to hear that I don't have to be perfect right away.

Mhmm. But what you just said was like, I gotta, like, work this thing out. Mhmm. I mean, are is this a is this a a couple of days, a couple of weeks, a couple of years? What do you find? In your history? So it can literally happen in an instant. And I know even Chaz I say that people will not believe me, but that's the simple truth. We've had people come in here and they start watching the lessons.

And, literally, it resonates so deeply with them that there's, like, holy shit, and they embody that person they need to be, or they they embody the person they want to become, that entrepreneur that can achieve their goals. And it will literally just like boom, instant, and they just take off 9 months later, their business valuation is shoot up by over half a 1,000,000. They're adding 100 of 1000 in additional profits.

However, For most people, it usually takes somewhere in that 30 to 60 day range, but it obviously depends on each person and then also the age of each person. I find that The younger people are the easier it is to get them to change because they're less solidified in their old habits. Right? If you give me a fifty five year old and a twenty year old the twenty year olds more likely to get that transformation sooner.

But in the grand scheme of it, it's like, we'll still get the fifty year old there, but usually takes, like, 30 to 60 days Yeah. Yeah. In inside of that time frame, I can relate to that just because, obviously, I've done major major work on me and my mind and The types of things you're talking about as far as building confidence, habits, like all the stack here that we're talking about. Mhmm. And I can tell you even in the last couple of 2, 3, 4, 5 months.

There's been a couple of things that I've talked about doing, but I had that moment where it just I knew it would be different going forward. Mhmm. And I don't know if I can explain necessarily in that moment what it was either except for Chaz. I had been priming my subconscious before that that This is who I am. This is what I believe. These are the things that I know that I can do. And so whatever happened in that moment, it was just it happened. So seamlessly, because I'm just grateful.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And so The you brought up a good point to subconscious. And so this is why most people procrastinate is because The consciously know what they need to do. Like, every New Year's resolution is a perfect example of this. You know what you need to do and you declare you're gonna do something. But we all know what happens within 3 weeks, 95% of people fail to maintain their news resolutions.

The reason why you consciously know what you need to do, but fail to consistently do it is again, 95% of your actions have derived from your subconscious mind. This is why you've likely had times where you're driving and you zone out only for you to magically appear at your destination with no conscious recall of how you got there. Your subconscious mind took over. Now The only way to escape this vicious cycle self sabotage is by linking your 2 minds together so that they work Gathering.

So that when you tell yourself tomorrow, I'm gonna get up and build this business and hammer out my to do list and hit the gym. You Wolfe actually do it and you feel excited to do it. So that's really the process that we do to take our students from self sabotage. To Super Human CEO. I love it. I love it. Alright. Well, let's flip the coin here. We talked about you slash our listeners making a good decision by, you know, being able to change the trajectory really of what they're deciding on.

What about a bad decision? What have you made maybe even tactically in your business that we can maybe stay away from? Yeah. I guess some bad decision. Well, who didn't even say they're like bad decisions because they they've led to where I'm at right now. But I guess, like, one of the bad decisions was just choosing the wrong niche Like, when I first started this whole procrastination of her, I was working for men in general Gathering than entrepreneurs.

And so it's just a different in mindset and The, obviously, what I could get paid as well. So I would say that was a bad decision, but, I mean, ultimately, it's part of the journey. So I don't really consider it a bad decision. But, yeah, I would just say that's one of the one of the mistakes I I took on personally. Yeah. And so we we hear a lot of times, you know, nitching down is important, and I and I agree, but you did niche down.

What what you're saying is that you just niche down in the wrong niche for you. And so what can the listener take away from that? How do they know if they're in the wrong niche or how how how can they make the change like you did it? They do realize right now that they're in the wrong niche. Yeah. So two few different factors here is one, the way I like to perceive it is, look, I'm gonna put in this amount of time and energy for one person that I serve regardless because my program is 1 to 1.

So, okay, with that being said, do I wanna make less money or more money? Obviously, I wanna make more money if you if your answer is less money, then you probably shouldn't be an entrepreneur. Right? Right. But anyways, with that being said, I just you Kings have to ask yourself, like, is the person I'm serving right now gonna be able to pay me more or the most possible, or is there a different demographic that'd be able to pay me more.

Go going back to my my reflection was like, look, I was working with 9 to fivers, but it's like, even if I improve them and get them to this place where they're in one of the 1% top performers in the entire Wolfe, well, guess what?

They're not their income isn't gonna increase that much unless they go find a new job, which actually has happened, but Whereas if I get this transformation in an entrepreneur, well, they're gonna their business is literally gonna make 1,000,000 of dollars more in the long run. And so, thus, they can pay way more. And the second part to that is I actually enjoy working with these entrepreneurs a lot more because it's just like a different mindset they have.

The 9 to fivers, they're not as, like, fully committed because it's like, again, They're like, oh, it's okay. My business, my revenue isn't gonna change too much, whereas an entrepreneur, their business is their livelihood. And if the if they're the biggest bottleneck in their business, because of procrastination or they feel like they can't get out of their own way, well, guess what? They're gonna be more motivated to change it. Yep. Yeah. I agree with that completely.

The value that you bring Mhmm. To the result of that individual is creator. So of course, they're willing to pay for it. Mhmm. I I think that that's an important thing for the listener to a breakdown. It's not yes. It from a from a selfish perspective, you as the person, Adam, or the listener Chaz the business owner, the service provider is you wanna get paid the most.

Okay. Fine. But really what that means is that you're adding so much more value to The specific person as opposed to the same service. Mhmm. Same deck, same remodel, same Gathering campaign. So let's let's transition here. Let's let's let's make this just an easy transition. We've got this superhuman place that I believe all entrepreneurs want to be. Right?

Like, there's no I mean, like you said earlier, there's no entrepreneur that says I wanna be at or I wanna just be like right here, you know. But there is a difference between this person here Mhmm. And the person that operates in the 1%. You're helping them get there, but what's what's one more piece? One more factor that we can maybe wrestle around with that's the biggest difference that you see between this person that says that they want awesome life or the exceptional life is all I'd say.

Mhmm. And the person that actually is living the exceptional life. Yeah. And so I'm a little hesitant to even say this because everyone's heard it. But, again, it's one of those The, like, Do you understand it, or do you know it on a deep level and actually apply it? And so one of them is just gonna be victim mentality. In making excuses for why you can achieve the things or finding solutions and stepping into your power by being 100% responsible for all the results in your life.

And again, I know people are saying, oh, here's another person talking about victim. Oh, I know this. Okay. Well, then answer me this. How many times in your day do you make excuses for why you can hit the gym? Oh, I didn't have enough time. I didn't have the energy. Okay. Good one. Elon Musk has running 3 separate multibillion dollar businesses. Right. Somehow he has time to go train to fight Mark Zuckerberg, but somehow you don't have time in your day. Like, that's a victim mentality. Right?

So it's one of those things. There's knowing and there's there's understanding, which doesn't grant you much power. You it makes sense consciously, but knowing comes from a deep place of experience and actually applying it because then you gain the power. And so that's gonna be one of the biggest things I I see the difference in. Okay. And so what's what's an action step that the listener can take today to from understanding because they're hearing you.

Mhmm. They have an understanding consciously of like, okay. I gotta go do this thing that Adam's telling me. Mhmm. But what's the what's, like, what's the actual thing in there to get it deep down? Yeah. So, again, a lot of it's just gonna be reflecting on your life because it all comes down to, like, awareness. And so every single day, you should be reflecting back on your day. Okay. Where did I not achieve what I set out to? Where did I feel bad about Kings cave in into my emotions.

When did I feel weak and powerless? And you can realize every single time you're in one of those states that I mentioned, you were being a victim and didn't find a solution. You fed into making excuses for why you can achieve something. And so going back and reflecting on your day allows you to be like, okay, Wolfe, what can I have done differently?

What where could I've where could have I found a solution to that problem Gathering than feeding into the excuses and the thoughts coming up in my mind. And then without analyzing, well, guess what? Now tomorrow, you're gonna be able to actually fix it and step into your power. By finding that solution and applying it. So, for example, we can keep going with that, like, weight lifting 1, for example. It's like, maybe you're, oh, I didn't have time to work out or us too tired after work.

Okay. That's you being a victim. You stepping into your power saying, you know what? I'm gonna work out tomorrow right away before I even start my day. So that it gets done no matter what. It's like so simple, but literally so powerful. And so that's one of the ways to really just recognize it is you have to be aware of the problem and thus reflecting is probably one of the best things you could do.

Yeah. I wanna share just a a a personal history on this because what you're what you're sharing is really powerful. And and then it feeds on itself. Like, we talked about a little bit ago. Once you hit the gym in the morning tomorrow, just to make sure that it gets done. The next day, you're more likely to hit gym because you did it yesterday or you did it today, whatever The example is. And so there was something I used to write or that started writing. I have a morning visualization.

I'm sure your teacher your student something similar. But I put in there, I don't know, maybe 6 or 8 weeks ago, that I only eat things that serve me that don't steal from me. So subconsciously, I'm, you know, I'm training myself to make good decisions in the moment of what I eat And I'm a pretty good eater, but I like I got a sweet tooth. Let's just say or I used to have a sweet tooth. Let's just say like that. Right? Mhmm. And so even just this weekend, it's my grandmother's 80th birthday.

We're here celebrating on the lake. It's a fantastic weekend. And my favorite some of my favorite desserts got made. Mhmm. And my grandma's like, are you gonna have a piece? I'm like, I I only eat things that serve me, grandma. Mhmm. And Wonderful. Right? Because for the last However, many days, I've been saying this out loud and to myself training the subconscious like you've been saying. So that way in the moment, it's like, I I'm not Yeah. Like, I how Chaz I go back on myself?

Because to your point earlier, it's something that I've now put out a steak for me, and I'm not gonna why would I treat myself badly? Mhmm. Mhmm. Yeah. That's The other thing too is, like, getting yourself to a state where you're truly committed to what you want. When you're truly committed, The it's no longer a possibility. Like, when they pull out that dessert or whatever it was, it's not even an of I'm gonna eat that because in your mind, you already accepted. I'm committed.

And I don't care if every place was to just deliver this favorite dessert to me. You're not gonna eat because you're actually committed. The option isn't even in your mind. It doesn't even exist in your mind. Yeah. Yeah. And I think that the important thing that I think both you and I Chaz give to the listener right now is knowing that, like, not only is it possible to get to that place where Mhmm. I've made the decision. It's no longer even a a a thing. Option. Yeah. It's not even an option.

But that even in that moment, as I've been building that or like, where you're talking about going to the gym, you still have to consciously make that choice. Mhmm. Even though the subconscious is getting stronger and stronger and stronger, sometimes you have to help it along the way. Like, I'm we all still have those moments where you're like, Oh, you still have The resistance of internal blood cells.

Yeah. Yeah. You're gonna wake up tomorrow, and and I I bet you, even though you've been going to the gym ever single day for a hour many years, there's there's at least one voice in there somewhere that says, it'll be better in your bed. You know? Yeah. Yeah. 100%. But we just have a better, a better, ability to play in that. Yeah. Yeah. To to slap that guy in the face and and save shit out of the way. Yeah. You know?

Let's talk about let's talk about this obsession of superhuman, but there's a section of life that we haven't hit yet. And it's family or marriage or the things that are maybe close to us that aren't business or fitness. Mhmm. How do I as a business owner obsess over those things at the same time as the business and the fitness. And, like, all these things, it feels like a little overwhelming. Like, I gotta all these things at the same time, but I know it's possible. You know it's possible.

How does the listener do it? Yeah. So, again, a lot of it's just gonna come down to prioritizing and time manage it. Right. And so everyone's a little bit different, in terms of their schedule. I mean, I have clients that The big, one of their biggest core values is their family. So what they do is they're Adam, I know of sometimes I get just get too distracted with work.

So they work for a few hours in the morning, then they have the set time in their schedule where they spend an hour a half with their with his wife and with his children. Look, sometimes Chaz an entrepreneur, sometimes we get so focused and narrow focused on our business that we regard other aspects of our lives. So we have to make the conscious effort. And personally, I find The just simply time blocking time into your schedule.

And especially it's Double will weigh me if you can make it so, like, you can use that time as breaks because, like, obviously, if you're staring at a computer screen for 3 hours, your efficiency starts to go down. Your brain's not thinking Kings clearly. So it's like, okay. Maybe you schedule a 30 minute walk in with your girlfriend and you go for a walk, come back. You're productive at work, and then you take another lunch break and spend time with her.

But, obviously, it depends on your girlfriend or wife and your family schedule, but it it's really just about putting the conscious effort into it and then planning it so that you're actually successful in the execution. Yeah. Yeah. I think that you're spot on. The time management is the is the baseline place to start.

And then and then the commitment of what you've been talking about this entire podcast, the decision, is then to stick with it because I think for a long time, I I said those things were important to me. Mhmm. But but they weren't on the calendar. Yeah. Yeah. The you put them on the calendar, but then you know, maybe there's a listener that was like me. It was like, even though it was on the calendar, then it was like, get to that. You know?

Mhmm. And so I think it's just at this level of awareness that you're talking about. You make the decision that's like, no, no, this this is important to me. Mhmm. And I'm I've already done made the decision. Now it's just sticking to it because I'm not gonna rob myself or my family or fill in the blank or whatever the the like, you almost have to think.

It's like, if you're, like, most of the entrepreneurs I work with, like, you're trying to grow your business for your family, so you have the freedom of time and money spend with them and to travel with them and take your wife to nice dinners. But it's like, if you spend your 6 hour or 6 years of building your business and you disregard your family, The may not be there for you at the end of it. Right?

And so it's really just getting the perspective to realize if it's more important to you, you have to set your priorities like, in order with your core values. And otherwise, you're gonna get to a point where you kinda start self sabotaging yourself in that regard too. You're gonna start hating your life feeling like things aren't right internally. It's because you're out of alignment with your core values. Yeah. Love that.

We could spend probably a whole podcast just on that, but for the sake of time here, Adam, I gotta ask you one last question. I wanna know if you The the opportunity to whisper in the younger Adam's ear. What would you tell him? I would tell him to start his business sooner. And, focus all of his energy and time into personal development. Because, again, like, my business only started growing when I became a a more powerful version of myself.

And so I think for anyone that's listening to this, look at how you're spending your time because you go to where your attention is. So if you spend your time playing video games and watching TV, it's like, that's time and energy Kings away from your personal growth. That's gonna lead you to the success in the business that you want. Yeah. Yeah. Love that. I wanna give the opportunity for the listeners to find you.

Adam, how can the listener find you if they're an entrepreneur listening right now and they wanna become super human? Mhmm. How can they find you, or if they're just wanting to to network with you, get to know you a little bit better, find some of your content at work, and they find that. Yes. Two different places. So the first place is you can go to superhuman ceo.com.

And then you'll see our training have a chance to book a time to speak with me or my team, The the second place is you can find me on Instagram. It's Adam Lucero, l u c e r o, then the number 1. So Adam Lucero, 1. Awesome. Well, we'll put all that in the show notes as well.
