What Success Takes

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
All right. It is nine toeleven PM on a Saturday night, and
I am in well, heading backto my apartment that I haven't been to
in about a month except for maybeone day I think I spent there.
I've been blitzing, you know,knocking doors and hotels and airbnbs, and

(00:24):
even before that it was the samething. But you know, just left
this house going back home. Myplan was actually to get there a little
earlier, but I wanted to getsome deals pushed forward and moving forward.
And you know, this is whatit takes to make you know, multiple
multiple six figures in solar really inanything is this kind of work ethic?

(00:52):
And to me, it's not reallylike work ethic. It's very rarely do
I look back, like right nowand I say, wow, I worked
a lot, Like it's just kindof it's a kind of a lifestyle.
It really is. And I'm surelike if you're someone who's listening to this
and it's like that's doesn't sound likeany lifestyle I want, I get it.
I hear you. I understand.But the thing is like I wouldn't

(01:14):
have either if you told me,hey, just work this hard and when
you're twenty four and you'll be successful. I'd be like, oh, that
sounds terrible, But the thing is, to me, it's completely normal because
every day is like a game.To me, I get to living.
Growing up, I played video gamesand then I got into the real world.

(01:36):
It's like, oh, this sucks. I have to do things I
don't want to do that really don'tyield any any result that I really want,
Like go to college, you canget this degree, Like okay for
what, so you can get thisjob. It's like, I don't want
that job. So the traditional liketrack is, you know, it's filled
with things that aren't exciting, aren'tfun. But when you go into go

(02:00):
in entrepreneurship, every day can bea video game that you want to be
playing. And yes, it sucks, Like we've all played the video game
where you just keep losing over andover and over again and you're like,
god, dang, You're like thissucks, but it's fun. It's so
much better than just sitting at yourhouse staring at the wall. And that's

(02:20):
what a lot of people do withtheir life. They're on autopilot. They
wake up at eight am, eattheir breakfast, and commute to their nine
to five sit there do a littlebit of work and go home and on
the weekends they drink beer with theirfriends and the same thing over and over
again until they start growing gray beardand hair, and then they retire and
then they die. I don't wantmy life to be like that. I
want every day to be something different. I want every day to bring excitement,

(02:46):
which means failure. Like right now, I just got out of a
house that I was in for threehours on a Saturday night, six to
nine pm that I got nothing outof. It was a cancel, like
I canceled the deal. I wastrying to save it for three hours and
I ended up walking away. Iwill make zero money off of this person.

(03:08):
But it all has to do withthe result. All those inputs are
the equal to the output. Becauseearlier today I sold a deal and I
pushed two deals to move towards installlike so I made a lot of money
in the beginning of the day.But without those setbacks, those failures,

(03:29):
you're not going to have those successes. So yeah, the lifestyle I'm living
now, a lot of people wouldn'twant to do it. It can be
hard to maintain, you know,relationship with friends, family, girlfriends,
et cetera. But it's fun tome. It's what I like doing,

(03:53):
and I know that I'm building tosomething that will put me into extreme balance
over time, to where I canwork only when I want to and on
things that I want to and notbecause I have to, which is ninety
nine percent of people they were workingbecause they literally have to to keep up
with bills. So that's not alife I want. I don't think humans

(04:19):
are supposed to live that way.I think we're supposed to be able to
be free, creative creatures and youknow, mingle with each other and you
know, use the inventions that eachother have created. I mean, I've
always said this, This was anoriginal thought that I had when I was
younger. It's like, as soonas I found out that you can buy

(04:39):
a helicopter and you can buy ajet, you can actually purchase those as
a just a regular consumer. Theymake those for consumers, not just companies.
I said, Oh, so thoseare for somebody. Why can't that
somebody be me? They making those. There's a market of people that those
are for, or they wouldn't makethem. Why can't that person be me?

(05:04):
I want to, you know,have everything that this life offers all
the cool you know, the newestthings. I want to be able to
experience everything, even if I don'tever do it. I want to be
in a position where I can't,not in a position where it's like I
can't do that. I'm gonna diewithout ever doing that. Som mhm
