WEBVTT 00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:02.800 The speed in which change is happening, 00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:07.680 it's uncertain for everybody. Uh-huh. We've never had something move so exponential. 00:00:07.680 --> 00:01:03.410 Like, we've we've come in it was the printing press and then electricity and all the, you know, the Internet came and FedEx and fax machines and the evolution. But all of them kind of had this sweep and the way it's moving now just we're not used to it. How do we stay calm under all this uncertainty and chaos that's here and it seems like even more is going to be coming. I've never seen a time where nobody really has the answer. I think that's the space we're in. No one has the answer. No. No one has the answer. In my life whenever I'm like, how do I go to another level? How do I shift to change the economy? The real estate market's down. There's new technology. There's always somebody that's like, oh, I've been there. Let me just tell you. Where we're going is unchartered territory. We've never had anything that's smarter than us, faster than us, quicker than us. So I don't think anyone has that answer. So if you can't find the answer for your certainty, then you got to get the inside strong. I don't think there's been a better time in history to have to work on the inside. So you can handle this. 00:01:06.770 --> 00:01:23.145 When people want to learn AI, they might go on YouTube, might find somebody, you start watching videos. It's like, oh my god. Do I need to get a Mac mini and a claw bot? What's a claw bot? I think people are starting off on like step five and it's the same for anything. So AI, any change in your life. I think any change has to start 00:01:23.545 --> 00:01:30.890 with a compelling reason, like a purpose. Why do I want this in the first place? And then once you have a reason like, oh, what if I could use AI 00:01:30.970 --> 00:01:50.815 to just save me five hours a week? Just get rid of the stuff I don't want to do. Could it automate that? That's my purpose because I want that time Mhmm. To coach Little League for my son. He's Right. Six years old. I I want to coach Little League. So now you got a purpose. Mhmm. Right? That calms the nervous system. The next thing is, you got to overcome the fear. Because if your brain's thinking this is going end the world, robots someday, 00:01:50.975 --> 00:01:51.855 craziness, 00:01:51.855 --> 00:02:13.345 start world war three. If you do that, you don't move forward. So then you got to find a way to say, hey, humanity's going to find a way through this. And I'm just going to say AI is going help cure cancer, solve jobs that nobody wants, and we're to find a way to all flourish. Right? The first is you got to have a reason why you're doing it. The second thing is you got to overcome the fear. Then the third thing you got to embrace change. Mhmm. And got to say, hey, if I stay here, 00:02:13.665 --> 00:02:17.025 probably not going to work out for me. Right. Right? I'm on the side of the mountain. 00:02:17.345 --> 00:02:31.420 If I just stay here, can't hang in the side of the mountain forever, so I got to probably go up. I mean, you do business with anybody who didn't have the internet right No. In a year from now, will you do anybody will you hire anybody that doesn't know AI? Probably not. You won't. So then you got to say, I got to embrace this change. 00:02:32.140 --> 00:02:42.885 And then after change, you got to cut through the clutter. Meaning, there's a million apps, a million things. Pick one Yeah. Yeah. And go deep. I'm just going to learn chat cheap PT. I'm going learn how to get five hours a week back with this one thing. Yeah. 00:02:43.125 --> 00:02:57.120 Then, you start the education. Right? If you miss those first steps, then you're jumping right into the overwhelm. You have a little fear, you're afraid to change You stop. The clutter, stuck. You're So Yeah. What's the greatest skill someone can learn today then that's different than ten, 00:02:57.120 --> 00:02:58.160 twenty years ago? 00:02:58.480 --> 00:02:59.200 Communication. 00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:02.400 All the things that AI is doing, 00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:06.880 programmers and coders been doing for a long time, but they would sit in a room and code forever. 00:03:07.475 --> 00:03:12.035 We didn't know that language. If you wanted a cool app to keep everybody on your team organized, 00:03:12.195 --> 00:03:17.795 five years ago, four years ago, you'd pay 10 programmers, it'd be hundreds of dollars every hour per programmer, 00:03:17.795 --> 00:03:23.690 take you months, you'd adjust it and tweak it. Today, if you know how to communicate and give good context, 00:03:23.850 --> 00:03:33.370 you could go talk to a quad agent, communicate with the English language of what you want the outcome to be. And it can make it. And because of good communication, 00:03:33.850 --> 00:03:38.090 it'll build the same thing in twenty minutes, maybe a half hour, maybe it'll take you half a day 00:03:38.545 --> 00:03:45.265 because you know how to communicate. So I think communication skills, people to people is still one of the most important things in the world. Communication, 00:03:45.345 --> 00:03:46.945 influence, persuasion, 00:03:47.185 --> 00:04:06.670 and now context and communication with AI that's going to help us go faster. So learning communication skills. But it seems like it's hard for kids to learn that when they're glued to their phone constantly. Yeah. That's that's an absolute fact. The one thing I've helped my kids always do is create a compelling future that they're fighting for and if they spend five hours a day on their phone, they're never going to reach that compelling future. You know, 00:04:07.445 --> 00:04:08.485 I don't expect 00:04:08.645 --> 00:04:19.285 my kids to have the drive I have. You know, went to school without lunch money. I have that still inside. That broke kid still lives inside of me. I still work like I'm broke. You can't inherit that, 00:04:19.605 --> 00:04:21.045 but you have to find other ways 00:04:21.650 --> 00:04:42.985 to motivate a next generation. Your kids won't be motivated because they didn't have lunch money, but they can be motivated not to live into their full potential. They could see people who've coasted their whole lives and they don't find happiness and joy, and I don't care if my daughter, my son wants to be the best teacher in entire school. I will support them. They don't have to be crazy entrepreneurs, but they need a compelling future. If not, you just drift. 00:04:43.305 --> 00:04:44.425 But how does someone 00:04:44.825 --> 00:04:48.265 develop a compelling future if they're always stuck in uncertainty? 00:04:48.590 --> 00:05:02.830 Wars are happening. AI is just confusing to learn even the basic. Isn't it easy Yeah. To stack all the things that could go wrong? Yeah. But there's also moments that you're like, I don't care about any of that. I'm just not quitting. I don't care if they don't hear me now. They'll hear me someday. Like, 00:05:03.515 --> 00:05:32.405 we have both of those people live inside of us. The first thing is you have to realize you could stack all the things that go wrong to where your psyche is like, why should I do anything? And right alongside of it, you could also stack all that could go right. Wow. What if I could use this innovation? What if I could use AI to not have to raise money, to not have to hire employees? What if I could finally unlock the creativity? It's been living inside of me. What if humans actually put guardrails up and it doesn't go wrong? What if the war stop? 00:05:32.565 --> 00:06:01.265 What if there is peace? Because whatever you focus on is what you're gonna feel. I would just say at 57, now that I look at things, the negative side still comes up every day. It's not like it just goes away and dies. You can just acknowledge it and say, I'm not going to stack the bad today. Mhmm. I'm going to stack that I'm blessed to be here. I can live another day. I could fight another fight. That's the start of a compelling future. There's there's more things to it, but I think that's with the news and the speed of which it's coming to us, if you're stacking the bad you can't handle it all. 00:06:03.665 --> 00:06:08.385 Let's talk about that compelling future for a second. What drives you? It is 00:06:08.910 --> 00:06:09.630 purpose. 00:06:10.350 --> 00:06:29.425 Let's picture you have a toolbox and you start getting momentum. I'll reach in that toolbox for whatever I need to keep me moving forward. So it's not just a compelling future, it's not just if things go wrong Mhmm. Whatever it takes to move you. Sometimes I'm motivated by what could be, other times I'm motivated not to go backwards. So for example Mhmm. In this toolbox, 00:06:29.585 --> 00:07:09.260 sometimes I might look at get to the end of my life and have my creator play me a video of the man I could have been. And I feel it though. I don't just say it. It's not just something I'm doing for like I literally feel of saying, yeah, you you were inspiration to your kids. They move forward. They saw their dad struggled, failed, got back up and kept going. And maybe I'm like, no and I played small. Like, I'll visualize that and I visualize things like, if I see who I could have been, the lives I could have impacted, the things I could have done, the relationships I could have built and I missed it. I always think to myself, the only wish I would have is to go back and then I say, Dean wish granted you're here. Let's Wow. Let's freaking go. That's cool. Right? But there's other times 00:07:09.900 --> 00:07:15.020 that that might not even be enough. Now, gotta tell you my dad was married five times and 00:07:15.715 --> 00:07:23.955 and it's okay for me to share this. He was physically abused and sexually abused as a child. He just had built in anger. Mhmm. Right? So 10 brothers and sisters 00:07:24.675 --> 00:07:34.940 when he didn't talk to any of them. He didn't talk to his mother or a father when they passed away. My sister hasn't talked to him in twenty two years. His only other sibling. I watch my dad work hard, struggle, 00:07:35.260 --> 00:07:37.660 try to be a good dad, try to figure it out. 00:07:38.140 --> 00:07:41.980 This is gonna sound horrible, but you know what's in my toolbox when I really won't move? 00:07:42.380 --> 00:07:54.195 I'll say, if you don't do this you're gonna end up like your father. Oh, man. But it's not easy. You need this toolbox full of things that drive you. So you I don't wanna be complacent. I don't wanna get to my life and end of life and feel like I coasted. 00:07:55.050 --> 00:08:20.945 Personally and I think all of it what keeps us alive is we feel alive when we grow. It doesn't mean millions and billions of dollars. Just a better version today than I was yesterday. When you do that, you feel alive. Nobody like I don't care what anybody says. No one wants to coast. And why do you think it's so hard for even some of the most successful people to separate their self worth from their net worth or their bank account? It all is merged together. We live in a time where significance, 00:08:20.945 --> 00:08:22.305 it's just prominent. 00:08:22.385 --> 00:08:33.720 You know, especially with everything that's online and you get to see and everybody seems like they have the perfect life and they're making more money and it was easier for them. But I find myself falling into that trap still Really? To this day. What's 00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:52.160 the trap fall into the most? When I surround myself with people who are doing better than me, I think I'm doing good, then I get in a room and I'm like, I'm broke. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like, and and it's still in there and that insecure broke kid from seventh grade without lunch money goes, see, because you're not that smart, you can't get where they are. When you feel that way, 00:08:52.640 --> 00:09:12.975 the immediate thing you should do is look in your rearview mirror because we forget where we came from. Yes. We're looking to the horizon. We're trying to trace the horizon. You can't get there. Yeah. So you got to turn around and go look where I was a year ago, six years ago, sixteen years ago. Number two, I said count your blessings. I said that for a reason. Is when I feel that way, I'll immediately say, 00:09:13.375 --> 00:09:15.055 maybe I could have been a little more successful. 00:09:16.230 --> 00:09:43.300 But I have an amazing relationship with all four of my kids. Mhmm. I love my wife more than anything. I have an amazing relationship. My 19 year old daughter's with me traveling right now. Right? Yeah. And soon as I put my brain in that in that mode of looking in the rearview mirror, look how far I've come, look what's in front of me, my nervous system calms down and all of sudden I'm back and it's gone. But I'm telling you the reason I'm sharing that because you say it and I'd love to be the person that says, no, that doesn't affect me anymore. I'd be lying to you. 00:09:45.620 --> 00:10:00.235 What are the three most powerful ways you're using AI to either save time, accelerate growth, or help you build financial wealth. One of the biggest patterns, it's one of the things that Tony and I teach is get your AI to know you 00:10:00.715 --> 00:10:01.595 deeply. 00:10:01.915 --> 00:10:12.870 Most people are using it as one offs. You want it to help you write a marketing email. You want it to do something that attorney would typically do and and people are kind of using it as a one off like Google and it'll give you a good answer, 00:10:13.510 --> 00:10:35.915 but the more context it has, the deeper it knows you. So what does that mean? You could literally go on your phone, say you have a chat GPT account and just talk to it for twenty minutes and tell it your ideas, your goals, your constraints, your worries, where you hope the company's gonna go, how much you love your wife, how many kids you have and people say, yeah, you're telling it a lot aren't you? I'm like, if you have social media they already know. The 00:10:36.155 --> 00:10:45.810 world already knows, right? Then And you start telling what your daily tasks are, your weekly tasks, your weekly goals, the things that usually hold you back. Most people aren't doing that yet with AI. Teach 00:10:45.810 --> 00:10:52.615 it. Tell it what you need. Tell it what you want. Let it get to know you. It will be a completely different answer. 00:10:53.015 --> 00:11:03.735 A second one, you know, in business they call it an SOP, standing operating procedure. It just means the process. Yeah. Some people call it a playbook. In AI terms, they call it a workflow. It's all the same thing. 00:11:04.560 --> 00:11:10.720 So I would take once once you get AI to know you a little more, the next question you can ask after it gets to know you 00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:24.865 is tell it everything you have going on that week and then say, how can you help me with what's on my plate to save five hours this week? Because this is why I say can make you more human. If you get five hours back, you can actually do the stuff that makes you more human. Yeah. Right? The next thing is 00:11:25.105 --> 00:11:28.625 pick one thing that you do and document all the steps. 00:11:29.185 --> 00:11:39.130 Like this is how I book an appointment, so I get someone on the phone, then once I call them I I this is what I say, this is how I follow-up, this is what I send them as an email and just document one 00:11:39.370 --> 00:11:42.730 standing operating procedure, one playbook, one workflow 00:11:43.210 --> 00:11:59.655 and then load that into the same AI and say, where in this workflow can you help me go faster? And it'll blow your mind. It'll say, hey, I could do this thing. I could send out the daily reminder email on my own. I could do this thing. I could do that thing. And it just gives you a different it's like having a really smart 00:11:59.975 --> 00:12:01.015 personal assistant 00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:06.760 that's there to work for you twenty four hours, seven days a And what do you feel like is missing most 00:12:07.400 --> 00:12:08.200 in 00:12:09.160 --> 00:12:13.000 humanity right now? I hate to fall back on something that might sound so simple, 00:12:13.735 --> 00:12:24.775 but we've had such a good life for so long even though we think things are tough. Would you rather would you would you want to be alive at any other time in history? No. We don't realize that we take it for granted. Mhmm. So what is the thing missing? Gratitude. 00:12:25.305 --> 00:12:29.065 You can see a land of opportunity or a land of the lost. It's your decision.
