Have you ever been your own worst enemy on the path to success? I'm laying it all bare, sharing those moments where I tripped over my two feet on my journey towards a 2.5 million dollar dream. This episode is packed with personal confessions and lessons learned from the trenches of entrepreneurship, including the birth and boom of my company, which revolutionized affordable shipping to Canada's remote communities. You'll hear about the trials, tribulations, and the triumphs that come from not only dreaming big but doing big, and how helping others tackle real-world problems has shaped my business philosophy.
Ever thought about how turning your thoughts into tangible assets isn't just spiritual fluff but a genuine path to financial bounty? I'm peeling back the layers on the Law of Attraction, and how it's more than just wishful thinking; it's about putting ideas into action and crafting the abundance we often feel is just out of reach. You'll get a dose of reality as I tackle the scarcity mindset, replacing it with a spirit of gratitude and the creation of win-win scenarios that have been pivotal in my growth. Get ready to challenge yourself to take accountability for prosperity, both in your bank account and in life.
Wrapping up, I delve into the transformational power of selecting an abundance mindset over the shackles of victimhood. With no guests joining us this time, it's just you and me, going deep into how the books and philosophies that have influenced me can spark a change in you too. And as always, I'm dishing out a huge thanks to you, our Life Changers community, for bringing your energy and stories to the table. So buckle up, subscribe, and let's continue to build a world that's all about success, happiness, and spreading those good vibes.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
Hello and welcome back to another episode of Life
Changers, and this is Mike.
Sorry, it's been a while.
I know I say that a lot.
I'm Canadian.
I apologize for everything,even if we don't mean it, but a
lot has been going on and, yeah,it's pretty crazy to a lot of
the things I've been learningand doing and experiencing.
(00:47):
So I'd like to start off byapologizing.
I've been lying to you thiswhole time about this stuff.
It is true, I'm so sorry.
Is this clickbait?
I don't know but no, I'velearned a lot.
There's actually a book outthere that, uh, my sister told
me I should read, so I did.
(01:08):
Well, you know me, I don't readit, but I listened to it on
audible.
We are not sponsored by audibleby any means, so please do not
think I am, and if audible islistening and wish to sponsor us
, please let me know.
You can reach me atlifechangersmike at gmailcom.
(01:28):
That's lifechangersmike atgmailcom, oh man.
But yeah, like I said, a lothas been going on and I've been
listening to this new book and Iwill tell you the title here in
a bit there, but I just wantedto say what's been going on and
stuff like that, because I thinkone of the last things we
talked about is how I'm going tomanifest 2.5 million.
(01:49):
Oh, you guys want to know whathappened, do you?
I don't have it yet.
But there's two reasons why,and I realize that, even though
I have all this knowledge andinformation and I'm trying my
best to live the law ofattraction and doing all this
amazing things and stuff, but Ijust realized by reading this
(02:13):
book that I've just been kickingmyself down.
So, first thing I realized iswith one of my companies that I
launched in 2019.
So before 2020, summer of 2019.
And I mentioned it many timesand you know, in 2020,
throughout 2022 and so on, it'sbeen crazy busy.
(02:37):
Okay, like we do a lot ofshipping and all that Because a
lot of communities in Canada,northern communities in Canada,
were like locked down, no one'sallowed in or out and stuff like
that.
And was this new adventure?
I started for non-commercialaccounts, so just for, like,
(02:57):
individuals to use our service.
So you know, just for anutshell, like if they live in a
far enough place, like atCalloway or Nunavut or something
, and they try to order diapersfrom Walmart, well, the shipping
I guess calculator minimum nowused to be 150, but now it's 250
(03:19):
to ship that way because itgoes by plane and all that stuff
, right.
So it has to go by courier tothe plane, to the plane to up
there, to from there to so on,and it's really expensive.
But the last 20 years of mylife I've been building networks
up there and communicationthing with people through all my
(03:40):
commercial accounts, so I wasable to have a network where I
can get stuff up there for verycheap.
So that same box of diapers,let's say, that would cost them
$250 to ship up there.
Well, it would cost me to shipto them, which would charge them
$50.
And stuff like that.
(04:00):
We ship it through the airlines, transportation companies and
so on and so forth.
So it's just a nutshell thatlike.
Like, it's a service that Ioffer people.
So I always say, oh, I want tohelp people, I want to help
people, right.
Well, this was my way of helpingpeople, in the sense of I
figured out a way to a lot ofthese areas that cannot get
cheap shipping.
Or a lot of these companies donot ship to that area, or a lot
(04:22):
of these companies do not shipto that area, so they would have
to, you know, buy it fromeither fly down and buy it
themselves and fly back, or flyor drive the ice roads are open,
or, if they have connectingroads, to like two days to get
the products and go back, orthey can get it shipped to this
(04:42):
third-party company, similar towhere we are.
But then they bring it up andthen it's like just crazy
expensive.
So I was like, well, this ishow I could.
I think it's a good company,right?
And so I did that and joined,like you know, from 2019, it was
slow going 2020, it startedpicking up and going crazy by
(05:03):
that summer.
And then you know, as you heardthe stories now that I moved
from, you know, doing it at onelocation into the trucks until
we got this location.
Now we have two locations uphere and in Ontario, canada, and
it's just been great, and youknow they can shop, they can go
on.
You know Amazon, walmart orwhatever, and normally they'll
(05:24):
say that, like when they puttheir address so we don't ship
there, or, oh, we do, but itdoesn't fall under prime, or it
doesn't fall under free shipping, so you have to pay.
Yeah, it's crazy, like there'sthis one company I've just been
fighting with a little bit.
So, like tires.
I have a commercial accountthat needs tires for some of
(05:45):
their fleets up there.
So I negotiated with thecompany, got tires and they said
oh yeah, we ship anywhere inthe province of Quebec for free,
cool.
So I give them the address andit went through.
I paid for everything and thenthey call me back two weeks
later yeah, we don't, uh, wedon't ship there for free, we
can't ship there at all, it'stoo expensive, it's like $100,
(06:05):
$200 a tire to ship up there.
I was like, okay, well then,how come you don't ship it to me
?
Like they're like oh yeah, okay, what's the address?
I give them the address andthen they're like oh no, it's
like $200 to ship.
So $50 a tire to ship that toyou.
I'm like but you offer freeshipping anywhere in the
(06:27):
province of Quebec.
I'm in Ontario, it's not thatfar.
I mean, you were going to payprobably about, you know, $25,
$30 a tire, and that's how muchit cost to ship it to me.
Anyway, I was like whatever.
So I said look, I'm going tosend you some labels.
You ship it, I pay for theshipping.
And it only costed me like $45a tire to ship it to the Arctic,
which they said it was going tocost like $150 to $200 a tire,
(06:50):
anyway.
So yeah, just where there's awill, there's a way.
But yeah, it's a great company,it's amazing.
And then when we got crazy busy,we were getting like 200, 100
packages a day plus all thecommercial stuff.
So then I was loading my truckevery two to three weeks and
trucking up there and it takestwo days to get there.
(07:12):
Two, three days of deliveriestwo days back.
So I'm gone for a week everytime.
So I'm gone for a week home fortwo, gone for a week home for
two.
And this is where I startedsabotaging myself and you guys
can relate, anybody who'slistening can relate to this.
But you, this is where Istarted sabotaging myself and
you guys can relate, anybodywho's listening can relate to
this.
But you know, anyways, I startedsabotaging myself in the sense
of going, like you know, gettingangry oh, it's so full the
truck.
Like, oh, don't peopleunderstand?
(07:33):
And like they should order morein advance if they want it on
this load.
People are getting like, oh, Iwant it on this load.
Well, hey, pay right away ifyou want it on this load.
And I got it all full, you gotto wait for the next load, and
sometimes I would do a trip,come home for two days, do a
trip, come home for two days, doa trip just to get rid of all
the backlog.
And then the warehouse was full.
I'm not even joking, it was sofull that my kids would run
(07:57):
around and go hide and play,hide and seek in it and you
couldn't find them for a longtime.
And I mean, it's only like a2000 square foot warehouse, um,
but yeah, like the kids werehiding and having a great time,
and I was like, oh, it's so fullin here and you know, just, you
know subconsciously gettingupset with certain situations,
and oh, it's so busy, and oh, wecan't do this.
And and by putting all that inthe universe right, it's stating
(08:26):
well, I don't want this.
So and I used to say a lot tooI'd be like, you know, this is
because of the pandemic,plandemic, whatever you want to
call it right, this is allbecause of that crap that's
going on in Canada and like allthe lockdowns, so they're not
allowed to leave, hence why myservice is becoming and we're
one of the only companies thatwere delivering we were in
delivering people's groceriesbecause the main companies have
(08:47):
been doing business with themfor the last 20 years,
delivering groceries to theirgrocery stores, and everything
said, no, we're not doing it.
This is the time people need you.
And they're like, oh, no,thanks for your business for the
last like 20, 30 years, butscrew you guys.
So then we picked up the slackand we started delivering
groceries to people's homes forthem, so they could have food,
water.
You know the necessities oflife because everybody's like no
(09:10):
, no, we're not going up there,I'm staying home like this crazy
, right, and I'm like peopleneed us now, so let's help them,
right?
So we stepped up.
(09:31):
And then what pisses me off,subconsciously, and whatever
pisses me off, is, after all,that they all go back to their
normal routines, and when theyneeded somebody, we stepped up.
Now they don't need us.
It's back to normal and to hellwith you guys, right, and I'm
like bastards.
And I'm like bastards, but Iknow this is by my design,
because I used to say, oh, it'sonly because of the pandemic and
all the lockdowns that peopleare using our services.
(09:52):
Later it will be slower andmore normal, right, but I don't
live normal.
I'm always amazing at what I doand I want extraordinary things
to happen.
Like I told you before, myaccountant says that's
impossible to invest and getthat kind of return in your
first year, or it's impossibleto do this with your business
right when I started that brandin 2019, everybody's telling me
(10:14):
it's impossible.
You're going to drain all yourassets, all your money, and then
boom, I'm very successful.
The only reason why I'mdraining my assets or losing
money is if I decide to, andthat's the way I live, and, yeah
, I have nobody to blame.
I can't blame anything sayingoh well, right now, it's the
recession in 2024.
(10:35):
No one's spending money.
They're spending money becausethey need food, they need things
.
Everybody's spending money.
I'm still spending money.
Everybody's spending money onstuff we need or think we need,
or things we want like bettercomputers, tvs, so on and so
forth.
So it's all BS.
You create what you create.
And here's one thing I learnedabout this book.
(10:56):
The main thing he dumbs it down.
This book was written in 1910,over 100 years ago, and I'm
telling you now.
I feel that everybody thattalks about all this law of
attraction and whatnot are allusing this book as their base or
some version of it.
I guarantee it, that's myfeeling and that's my reality.
(11:19):
So I'm right, too bad, butseriously, check it out.
You could agree with me, okay,and I grew up, even like I grew
up in religion, as you know, andI was told this you know, mike,
if you think of doing badthings, therefore it's a thought
(11:40):
, and that thought willeventually turn to action, which
will turn into reality, becausethen you're going to want to do
that bad thing, right.
So you know, if I wanted towatch pornography, right, that's
a big no, no.
And when my religion growing up, and it's like, if you think
about it, then you're going todesire it and that's going to
become a want, and then you'regoing to become in reality and
(12:00):
you're going to end up watchinga pornography or whatever, right
, porno, stuff like that, right,and that's a big taboo in my
world.
Oh no, it's the end of theworld.
You're going to go to hell ifyou do that and stuff like that,
right, I'm not saying it's goodor bad or anything.
Like everybody, live your life,do your thing, I don't really
care.
But you know it makesmicrophone.
(12:29):
I'm talking into right now thedevice recording.
I'm using my laptop, soeverything I have.
I have my essential oil machinehere, misty, nice, beautiful,
right, all the led lights,everything, everything in this
world, everything around you,starts as a thought before it
brings it to reality.
So, therefore, if a thought canbecome reality, anything is
(12:55):
possible.
So I put the thought that Iwant the $2.5 million.
So I'm going to make that myreality.
And I know what you're saying.
Oh, you know, once again, I'mmaking it sound so easy.
Right, it's not that easy.
Once you have the thought ofdesigning a computer or a cell
phone or something, then you gotto figure out how to make it
work and then bring it toreality.
Okay, so you can't just be likeI'm going to wait for things to
(13:20):
happen.
Here's a joke again.
I said this many times on mypodcast.
I'm saying it again.
You know, everybody likes money, right?
So, um, there's this guy andI'm sure you're everybody's
heard this, but if you haven't,hey, it's a good laugh there's
this guy who's like I lost myjob, I need to win the lottery,
(13:40):
and he prays about it.
Lottery comes and goes and heprays about it.
Lottery comes and goes, doesn'twin.
My family's leaving me.
I need the lottery.
Thank you God, nothing happens.
My family left me.
I lost my house, live on thestreet, I need the lottery.
Nothing happens.
Why did you forsake me, god?
How come you're not allowing meto win the lottery?
(14:02):
And then God comes down andsays hey, man, at least meet me
halfway and buy a ticket.
It's true, we expect everythingjust to be done for us without
us doing things.
So by reading this book thatI've read, it kind of clarifies
everything and dubs it down insuch a way where it's like duh,
nothing is as complicated as itsounds, as complicated as it
(14:24):
sounds right.
Kiss, keep it simple, stupid.
That's a good motto.
Keep everything simple.
Things aren't as complicated,not as like oh crazy, as it
makes it sound right, it's aseasy.
As you have a thought of whatyou want to do, you have that
thought, this is what you want,this is how you want to execute
it, or you know, I'm puttingthat thought out there and this
(14:47):
is what I want, and asopportunity comes, I'm going to
start doing it.
So me sitting here in my officegoing I want my company to be
back to 200 packages a day, Iwant this, and I just sit here
doing nothing about it.
Well, no, I got to startadvertising, I got to start
picking up the phone.
I got to start doing this,doing that right, and do my part
(15:08):
.
And in this book I love thisguy.
So it's that I read theoriginal version, 1910 version.
They have an updated versionwhere it's like more our lingo,
our language, but this was likestraight the original wording,
everything our lingo, ourlanguage.
But this was like straight theoriginal wording, everything.
(15:28):
And one of the things he says isyou are like, not stupid, but
like I mean, this is our termyou are very stupid if you think
you do not need money or you donot want money.
And he talks about how, likeback then, like you will be
programmed to think money is bad.
Rich people are bad, sosubconsciously you're not going
(15:49):
to want money.
But that's foolish becauseeverybody wants money and you
deserve the money and youdeserve to do what you want to
do with the money Luxury food,luxury outings with your family,
whatever you want, and there'splenty of money, there's no lack
.
Outings with your family,whatever you want, and there's
plenty of money, there's no lack.
(16:10):
And he talks about business, howeasy it is to create lack and
then make more money as abusiness, right, and he talks
about how everything happens theway it needs to happen.
But there's one difference.
And he also states in his bookyou are guaranteed to get rich
by following his steps.
Okay, okay, only book.
He's like that guarantees to besuccessful and rich if you
(16:31):
follow his steps and that's allthere is to it.
He says like it's that easy,but if you don't follow it's
your problem.
And he talks a lot aboutbusiness.
He goes if you own a business,the mindset that they're going
to push you to do is competition.
Right, and you probably heardme talk many times about
competition in my business.
(16:51):
Oh, there's this other companydoing this and why they poor me,
right.
But he goes.
Doing business out ofcompetition and making as much
as you can and ripping peopleoff will make you money for a
while, but it'll not make youmoney forever and eventually
you'll drop.
Look at all these hugecompanies all over the world
that's dropped, that weresuccessful, like in Canada Sears
(17:14):
gone, zellers gone, right.
All because competition.
There's plenty of business andopportunity for everybody to
everybody to make money.
So in my case, with thetransportation thing and the
shipping thing, yeah, I havelike a competition up there, but
I should not wish them ill oranything.
(17:36):
There's plenty of money forthem to make, for me to make,
because I couldn't handle thewhole entire show.
They couldn't handle the wholeentire show because during the
pandemic they couldn't handlethe whole show.
So we started putting trucks onthe road because they weren't
keeping up.
They couldn't keep up, theywere crazy.
And then they're like we can'tdeliver this, we can't deliver
that, and they're months andmonths behind.
And then we're just boom, boom,boom, let's go knock it out,
(17:58):
get it done.
We need another truck.
Boom, get somebody in thattruck.
Let's go.
Like, these people need it,right.
And yeah, it used to be like oh,you know, everybody's
competition, be your owncompetition.
I just had a business meetingwith somebody and I'm like, yeah
, be your own competition.
Man, yeah, you have thiscompany on that end of the city.
(18:19):
Let's do something over here inone of my warehouses and be
your own competition.
You're going to be making money, no matter what, who cares?
But like, there is nocompetition.
You got to start your companyand whatever that you're doing,
if you want to start a companyor anything, but there's no
competition.
Here's an instance.
I know people in my life thatlive the competition in life and
(18:41):
they don't own their owncompany.
They work for people andthere's always something like,
oh well, everything'scompetition.
And then this person doesn'tlike me because I make them look
bad.
Right, and that's the realitythey're creating.
Before you know it, they'regoing from job to job to job.
They're never happy in the jobsthey have.
Look at me.
I had everything I wanted.
I was busy, money was flowing.
With this new brand I startedand it was going crazy busy and
(19:06):
I was grumpy.
I'm like, oh right, poor me.
I was grumpy and like, oh right, poor me.
Look how busy we are.
I've been working 16 hours.
Oh, poor me.
Now I got to go drive and for aweek and I got to do all the
unloading and it's minus 60 upthere and it's cold on the ice
roads Poor me.
Blah, blah, blah, right.
Well, now look, I have nothing.
I go up maybe once every othermonth.
Before I was going up like two,three times a month and you
(19:33):
know, packages coming throughused to be like 100, 200 a day.
It's a lot less than that nowand that's my fault.
I have nobody to blame.
You got to take responsibilityfor your actions.
You have nobody to blame, justlike people like today.
I was talking to one of myemployees today and he was
saying, like how he talks, liketo people and they're like, or
he was watching Family Feud.
(19:55):
And one of the questions is,like you know, on a scale of one
to 10, one, you know how manypeople hate going into work on
Monday?
You know one meaning low and 10meaning high.
And and, uh, he was like, well,you know one, two, right.
Like if you love your job, likewhatever, because you're
earning money to do whatever youwant, but most people are, like
(20:15):
you know, seven, eight, nine,like hate, hate it, hate it
right.
And it's amazing to me because Iwas just thinking like, okay,
if you didn't have a job, you'dbe crying that you need a job.
Now you have a job, you'recrying that you have to work to
make money.
Like, be happy, and that's whatI am learning.
I know I talk about it, but youtruly just got to be happy with
(20:37):
what you have.
You know, you hear me talking.
You could probably follow mything from the beginning to now.
You hear me saying like, well,like, give me all this money,
how come I'm not really makingmillions right now so I can help
people?
I can help people, reallymaking millions right now.
So I can help people, I canhelp people, I can help people
Right, and here's the thing thatthe book talks about.
(20:59):
He goes, you know, not to soundlike I'm a bad person or
something, but these peopleasking for money all the time
for this organization to helpthese people, this organization
to help this and this, theirwhole business thrives on lack
and they need these people tohave nothing for them to be
successful in their company.
So they are creating, with thelaw of attraction, lack in the
(21:21):
universe and all that to keeptheir business growing.
That's what they need.
They need lack, just like forthe police, their job is to keep
crime down and stuff, but ifthere is no crime, then there'll
be less police, less jobs.
So therefore, you know, theykind of subconsciously create
lack that, oh, there's a lot ofcrime, there's a lot of this
(21:42):
right, subconsciously, right.
It's not like they're out theredoing crime or creating, hey,
go shoot somebody, right, butlike, yeah, like with law of
attraction, they're thinkinglike there's a lot of crime.
I see the crime all the timeand that's all they're living is
crime, crime, crime, crime.
They could always see the badin the world, just like these
places, these companies, theseorganizations asking for money
for this and that, or help these, help this, help that?
(22:05):
Well, you're.
By you giving them money.
You're agreeing that there's alot of lack out there, but there
isn't.
There is no lack in this world.
There's plenty for everybody.
We've just been programmed tobelieve that there's lack.
How many years have you heardall the time these different
(22:27):
things over the years?
And you can Google whatever ifit's not censored in your
country, like things are inCanada, but you can Google
things like back in like the1950s, it was a, there was
another global warming thing orglobal cold or whatever.
Oh, we're fuel crisis and thisand that, but we have everything
(22:51):
we need in this earth.
We have so much renewableenergy, renewable, this,
renewable that, that if there'sany lack, it's artificial lack
Because there is.
I choose not to live in a worldof lack.
In my world, I choose abundance.
And in that book again, he'slike talking about like, if you
(23:16):
need something, and let's sayyou need for your business a
sewing machine and you need thebest of the best, Well, and he
put that in the universe, theuniverse will be like well,
there's this guy and he lives inJapan, he manufactures this and
it's the best of the best.
Then he will end up in yourarea for an event, a venue, and
you're going to end up meetingthis person.
You're going to be like, wow, Ineed that, so you buy it.
(23:38):
It helps him right.
It's a win-win.
So for business, in this bookit states like if you want to be
rich, you have to have awin-win for everybody.
So all my companies I do is awin-win, meaning my commercial
company, I source products Ifind the best and the most
efficient and the best price andI'm the best price and for
(24:01):
transport and installation setup and I do my best, right.
Same with the other one Istarted in 2019.
For the individuals, they can'tget this stuff cheap.
A gallon or four liters of milkup there in the Arctic is like
(24:23):
15 to 20 bucks.
We're crying down here whenit's at, like you know, eight
bucks.
It's a lot more up there, butyet you know they could buy
cereal and all that from downhere, which is really cheap, and
we could ship it to them, whichis cheap and still cheaper than
buying it up there.
But it's a win-win foreverybody.
So there's no competition.
You've got to win-win.
(24:44):
When you have employees, youcan't be like oh, like you know.
And if you are an employee, youcan't be like this person owes
me I worked, so you know.
And if you are an employee, youcan't be like this person owes
me bad, bad, bad.
I worked so hard.
And if you're that person,you're the victim mentality and
all that no, I'm.
Chances are you're slacking andyou're not doing your way,
pulling your weight.
I'm sorry to say you're adouche If you're playing the
victim card on everything you dolike.
(25:05):
I don't understand thementality of like, oh, this
company is making millions andI'm going to rip them off or
they owe me more.
I would love to see you do whatthey do Like.
Yeah, you're probably thinkingyou're biased because you own
your own little company.
Just to keep this door open, Ineed over $10,000 a month.
(25:26):
That's just to break even, noteven with employees or nothing.
That's just rent and hydro andfuel and stuff Minimum $10,000,
which is nothing.
All these big companies you'retalking about are hundreds and
thousands $200,000, $300,000 amonth just to keep the doors
open.
So, yeah, they might be makingall this money in sales, but
(25:48):
after all expenses they haveenough to keep it afloat.
And when it's hard times, theyhave enough to keep it afloat.
And don't get me wrong, there'sa lot of companies out there
that are doing the whole.
Let's rip everybody off as muchas we can and make them work
for as little as we can, blah,blah, blah.
But you also have to understandthe whole economics of the
whole world.
Okay, I'm not going to get intothat right now.
(26:09):
I'm back with a lot of traction.
Okay, calm down.
But everything in the world hasabundance.
If there's a lack, it's yourfault, and I take blame for my
company if it's slowing down orif it's lack or if I feel like
I'm not going to.
You know, I got to work harder,I got to do this, I got a
(26:30):
budget better, blah, blah, blah.
It's my fault because when thetimes were good, I was bitching,
moaning, like oh, so busy, oh,poor me.
And I was playing the victim.
Like screw that, be happy withwhat you have.
Because where you are and whereyou're going to be is either
your choice if you're going tobe better off or if you're going
to be worse off.
(26:50):
So if you're the victimmentality, you're going to be
nowhere, if not less worse off.
I know so many people in my lifethat are just like poor me.
I could never be rich.
Oh, you're only rich because ofopportunity.
I came from nothing and Icreated my wealth because I
decided to.
That's all there is to it.
I chose to start beingsuccessful and, as you heard in
(27:15):
my podcast many times, that howbefore, like subconsciously, I
would sabotage myself with moneyand I'll never have money.
Blah, blah, blah.
Well, now I know the languageof money, the energy of money
and how it works and how itflows.
And it all comes down to youand what you believe in your
heart and what your energiesyou're putting out there.
(27:36):
So, if you're putting out lack,well, change it.
Well, how do I change it?
Mike, you know, if you werelistening to my podcast, you
would have started reading thesecertain books, like the one
book, how to Break the Habit ofbeing Yourself.
That was the main book that Istarted with by Dr Joe Dispenza.
Then, after that, I read a bookcalled the Surrender Experiment
(27:56):
by Michael A Singer, and I waslike that's true, just got to
learn to surrender when thingsare happening and go with it.
And things will happenamazingly If I did not surrender
.
When I met my wife back in theday, like 18 years ago now, I
probably would have sabotagedthat, but I realized and I was
(28:17):
like oh, and everything happenedin such a way where I was like,
wow, yeah, this is meant to be.
This is amazing, right?
Just with my new company Istarted in 2019, the new brand,
if I did not surrender.
And I listened to everybodytelling me no, no, no, you're
stupid.
This, that this, that I wouldnot be anywhere.
I could choose success and Icould choose failure, but I
(28:40):
choose to have success.
I choose that there's no lack,that there's abundance for
everybody around me.
And in this book it states thatyou cannot go around telling
people what they're not ready tohear.
And it's true because I wastalking to somebody like, hey,
you know somebody I know verywell.
I was explaining to them andyou know they, you know they
(29:01):
make good money, but they alwayshave no money and they always
say, oh, I'm poor, I can'tafford this.
Oh, I can't afford this.
Oh, I'm poor, I can't do this.
No-transcript.
And in the book it says like youcould go blue in the face
(29:22):
telling people what to do andhow to make money and how to get
out of the situation, how tobetter themselves and blah, blah
, blah.
But if they're not ready, toobad, so sad.
And it's true, like when I wasin religion, I was like, well,
my religion's the best,everybody else is wrong, poor
them, because my religion toldme I'm the rightest and I'm the
bestest right.
I know they're not real words,just but yeah, and I felt bad
(29:44):
for everybody else and I'm likeI know everything and they know
nothing.
Blah, blah, blah, right.
And I would like like try totell everybody come join me and
join our religion, ours is thebest, yours isn't good, yours is
of the devil, right, orwhatever.
But if they're not ready tohear, they were not ready to
hear and stuff.
And I realized like, yes, it'strue, there's people that are
(30:06):
victim mentality and there'llalways be.
There's people that are victimmentality and there'll always be
.
But in this book it's alsostates that just live these
simple rules right.
Rule number one live withinabundance, don't allow lack.
If you feel lack or negativity,push it out and say I live in
abundance.
(30:27):
I listened to this book often.
I listened to it four or fivetimes already.
It's like four hours long on anaudible Um, and I believe
listened to it four or fivetimes already.
It's like four hours long onAudible and I believe it was
free, like the one I got, andstuff like that.
But anyways, yeah, and when Igive you the name, you can look
it up.
I'm holding on so you listenlonger.
(30:47):
You're going to be like justtell me the name, mike, so I can
stop listening to your podcast.
Well, no, you need to listen tomy podcast because it's
uplifting and this will changeyour life, because these are my
experiences, these are myrealities, my truths.
This is what I'm going through,this is what I'm learning, and
I feel the lack every day tryingto push down on me, and I got
(31:09):
to ignore it and be like no,there's abundance.
The lack every day trying topush down on me, and I got to
ignore it and be like no,there's abundance, right,
there's slow times in mycompanies where I'm like, okay,
I got to keep up, I got to haveall this money to pay for
everything, even though we'renot bringing in as much, right,
and I'm thinking there's lack,there's lack, but no.
So here's a story in the book.
(31:35):
In the book, he uses someexamples, and one example is a
guy who's like I want to own myown house but he's barely making
ends meet.
He was working for like minimumwage or less, not, doesn't have
that much money and he wasrenting and the rent was really
like living paycheck to paycheck, barely breaking even like what
most people feels like.
Right, wow, we're poor, we justas soon as I pay rent and buy a
little bit of food, that's allwe have, we're done, right.
So he was living in lack andthen he met this guy and he's
(31:59):
listening to his, him and hisbook and stuff.
And then he was there talkingand then the guy's like, okay,
well, I want a new carpet.
So he says I want a new carpet.
There is abundance in the worldright, I want a new carpet.
And grace and happiness andlove, I want a carpet.
So that's what he lived and putin the world.
And you know law of attractionhe has this thought and then it
(32:21):
becoming action and then, beforeyou know it, there's ways where
he ended up getting more hoursat work.
He could afford the carpet nowand he worked, right.
Oh, you're saying I have towork, mike, to make millions and
make money.
Do I buy my carpet?
Yeah, but he had theopportunities and he went with
the flow.
He surrendered and listened andsaid, oh, I'm getting more
(32:42):
hours, Instead of bitching andmoaning oh, I got more hours.
I deserve not to work.
Well, if you're not making endsmeet, you got to work your butt
off to make ends meet.
And this guy's like, oh, I gotan extra two shifts.
Boom, now he made enough moneyfor the carpet.
And he's like, huh, well, if Icould do that with the carpet,
let's go bigger.
And then he fast forward to likehalf a year he owns the house
(33:06):
and now he's going through thehouse.
So he's managed to make enoughhours and he had side jobs and
other opportunities come his way.
Um, where he was making moremoney like he worked, but he
also had other opportunities,made him a lot of money that he
was able to buy the house in sixmonths.
Now he owns the house and nowhe's going through the house,
going I need a new stove, I needa new this, I need a new that.
(33:27):
And he was just manifesting itand opportunities came and he
grasped them and took them withlove and, you know, in grace and
happiness and in love and injoy.
He accepted it because theuniverse wants us to be happy.
And if you live the mindset that, like most people do or not
most people, but most people inthe spirituality world, as they
(33:49):
call it, or in the Hakuna Matataworld, or dirty hippies, as
people call us sometimes, but no, if you're living in that
mentality of I create my realityBecause think about it
Everything you believe,everything you come to know and
understand is from informationand knowledge that you are
gathering, either from books,listening to people and I'm not
(34:12):
saying if it's right or wrongbut that creates your reality,
your belief system.
So, therefore, you are you know, for lack of a better word the
god of your reality, the creatorof your reality, because
everything you believe, if youaccept it or not, if you're like
oh, I accept this, mike, whatyou're saying is crazy, you're
stupid, I don't accept it.
So this is my reality.
(34:32):
Good, like, we're on the samepage here.
I just want people tounderstand that you are the
creator of abundance or thecreator of lack or non-abundance
, or of emptiness.
You're the creator of love oryou're the creator of hate.
You could say well, no, thatperson's bad energy made me bad.
(34:52):
Or this person slapped me inthe face today and pissed me off
and now I'm mad.
Then I'm going to go slap thisperson in the face and just make
a big thing, right, yeah, youchose to make it a big thing too
.
Oh, wow, and then whatever.
Right, Like everything comesdown to a decision that you make
every second of every day, areyou going to wake up pissed off
or are you going to wake uphappy?
(35:13):
Do you wake up and say I need acup of joe, I need my coffee,
or I'm going to be unbearable tobe with.
Or I need my cigarette, or I'mgoing to be unbearable.
Or I need this and I need myroutine, or you're going to hate
me.
That's your reality and youcreated that.
It's the world.
They made me do this.
(35:33):
No, you chose.
Take responsibility.
And once you understand thatthe world is yours, you have the
cheat codes, you have the hack,you have the ability to create
anything you want.
So say it with me, everybody,just say it with me.
(35:54):
Say I choose the reality andthe beliefs I have based on the
information I receive.
If you want to say it that way,say it that way.
Say I am responsible foreverything in my life.
Take responsibility.
I say your name, so I'm Mike,take responsibility for all my
actions and for everything Ihave in my life, and I choose
(36:15):
abundance in my life and Ichoose wealth, I choose success
and I choose happiness, and Ichoose joy and shun I'm using
big words today Shun, push away.
Don't listen to the people thatare, all you know, bringing you
down as you say, like, oh, it'sthese people that I hang out
with.
Well, you chose to hang outwith those people, so it's your
fault, right?
(36:36):
So choose abundance, choose joy, choose love, choose happiness,
right, and just know that.
(36:59):
Well, see, here's one thingthat just hit me Everybody says
you have to go through the hardtimes for the good times.
I don't believe you have to.
I'm telling you you do not haveto go through hard times and
life-threatening trials orwhatever.
You might appreciate what youhave more if you have a
near-death experience.
You might appreciate morethings that you lost.
(37:23):
And then you're like oh no,I'll never get it back, so you
never will.
I'm tired of hearing peopletalking about how, oh, I know
people that are making like $30,$40 an hour, that are like
we're so poor, poor me.
Please, mike, give me stuff forfree, and I'm like wow, on
(37:52):
paper, on your tax returns, youhave a lot more money than I do
Like disposable cash.
I have all this stuff.
I got to keep going.
I got other people.
I got my employees' lives,their families, in my hands.
I got to make money to supportmultiple families, not just my
(38:12):
family, but my family, myemployees' families.
Right, contractors that I hirethat depend on my company.
Right, suppliers that are like,wow, you're our biggest
customer.
Like we need you, without you,we would be bankrupt.
Like I have all thisresponsibility but you're
(38:33):
sitting here crying, poor you,when you have guaranteed income
and you work for whatever.
Like I know people that workfor the government that make a
crap ton of money and they'restill like the victim.
Oh, poor me.
And I understand it.
Okay, I've been there where Iwas like making $20 to $25 an
(38:53):
hour 20 years ago before Istarted going with my own thing,
and that was a lot of moneyback then.
Nowadays that's probably like$50, $60 an hour, but yet I had
no money.
Okay, and one of my friends,she was making minimum wage and
back then it was $7.25 an hour.
She had her own apartment, shehad a car, I lived at home and I
(39:18):
paid a little bit of rent.
You know $300, $400 of rent tomy parents.
Just, you know, hey, I'm makinga lot of money.
Here you go, because you knowthat's the rule.
If I'm not going to university,not saving for a house or
whatnot, then, you know, pay alittle bit to stay in the house.
It helps the family.
So it's like I choose to helpthe family instead of moving out
on my own, because it's helpingme too.
(39:39):
It's a win-win.
I save money, they make money,and it's a win-win.
But yet I had an attitude oflack of poor me, I'm poor, I'm
always going to be poor becausethe rich get rich and the poor
get poor.
I'm poor, I'm always going tobe poor because the rich get
rich and the poor get poor.
That's the way it is right,that's the way we're taught,
that's the way we're programmed,that's the way we see it in
movies, social media, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, right,
(40:01):
everywhere.
Even my own parents weretelling me that because that's
the way it was.
But it's not true.
If that's your reality, then itis.
But I chose not to let that bemy reality.
I was making a crap ton of moneywhen I was younger, as a young
adult.
When I first started my company, I was making tons of money,
(40:22):
but I always put myself insituations where there's lack.
So then there's opportunity forme to lose a lot of money.
So I take responsibility.
I'm testifying right now frommy podcast studio, but I am
responsible for my actions, formy life, for my wealth, for my
(40:45):
abundance and all that.
I choose abundance, I chooselove, I choose happiness, I
choose an amazing experience.
In this reality.
There is no lack in my reality.
There's only abundance and joyand happiness.
And I know you're thinkingthat's so hard, mike, you don't
(41:05):
understand me.
It's hard for me.
I blah, blah, blah.
Well, with that attitude,attitude, yeah, it is hard for
you because you choose to makeit hard for yourself by thinking
that it is so.
Therefore, you're creatingbecause, as we discussed at the
beginning of this podcast, andwe all agree on it everything in
(41:27):
this world starts as a thoughtbefore it becomes an action.
Even if I'm like I going to gobeat the crap out of this guy
because he ripped me off, well,it started as a thought, and
then, if I turned it into anaction, well, I got to live by
the consequences of my actions,and that's what people do not
take responsibility for.
Okay, stop listening to themainstream media, stop listening
(41:54):
to all the stuff.
Everything is programmed tokeep you Dumb, keep you down,
keep you poor In the way ofthinking, because that is the
reality Of our world.
Everything is a thought beforeit becomes reality or an action.
So therefore, if you're saying,well, poor me, I'm always going
(42:15):
to be poor, no matter how hardI work, fine, you'll be poor.
You're going to live paycheckto paycheck.
You're going to choose yourstruggles.
Right, you see it in allmainstream, everything,
mainstream celebrities.
Oh, I was poor, I came fromnothing, and then I worked and
worked and tried and I didn'tbelieve and then I became
something right.
But it doesn't have to be hardif you don't want it to be hard.
(42:39):
Life is what you make it.
You are the creator.
I cannot say that as much asoften enough you need to look at
yourself and say I am creator,I am responsible for my actions,
I create my reality and chooseabundance.
You can sit there and do listento I ams if you want, and if
(43:00):
you don't know what I ams are, Iams are positive affirmations
that program you to believe andunderstand that.
Yes, and I've seen in manymovies where you see like these
people down and they're likepoor and those I ams to make
them look stupid and all that.
But it's true, it does help ifyou want it to.
And I ams are amazing, justlike nice music, soft voice and
(43:22):
goes.
You know I am successful, I amabundant, you deserve wealth,
and you know it goes on and onand on but I digress of wealth
and it goes on and on and on butI digress.
The book that I've been talkingabout this whole time is written
by Wallace D Wattler, wattlers,wattler, anyways, it's called
(43:46):
the Science of Getting Rich.
Okay, look it up on Audible.
It's called the Science ofgetting rich and I downloaded it
for free.
I didn't even use a credit toget the original, but you can
like.
I said there's other versionsbecause he also has one called
the trilogy and it was like 12bucks or one credit or whatever.
(44:06):
It's called the science ofgetting rich and his other book
called the science of being welland the science of being great,
and I just love how simple.
And this was written in 1910,the first book anyways, I didn't
listen to the other ones yet.
That's in an original form andit could do you wonders.
(44:26):
And there's another book I waslistening to which it has a lot
in it I'll talk more about.
It Is the game of life and howto play it.
There's some things I don'tagree in the book.
I listened to almost all of it.
Actually, there's only 46minutes left.
No, build his body or rebuildhis affairs.
(44:48):
I listened to it at 1.5 speed.
Oh no, there's lots of timeleft.
I've got like two hours left.
Anyway, sorry about that, butyeah, that book is good too the
Game of Life and how to Play it.
It's very interesting.
And you've got to understand,like when I read books or listen
to things, I only listen andunderstand the things that like
(45:08):
vibe with my soul, that I feelit like yes, this is what vibes
with me.
And there's things that I'mlike, nah, at this moment it's
probably not right for me tolisten to.
And I can listen to a book likefive, 10 times, or read a book
multiple times, and then I'llhave things that I was like, eh,
are now like, oh, I understandnow.
So you have to listen to thesebooks and more than once can't
(45:32):
just be like okay, I listened toit, mike.
Now I'm a rich man.
Listen to it more than once.
It even says listen to it often, daily, if you can, and it will
change your life.
Because he's simple form and I'mgoing to talk more about these
books, both of them as um, weget into it.
I'm also bringing in a friend.
I talked about him many times,how he was with me at the
(45:55):
casinos when I did my firstexperiment, called the real
experiment was using the law ofattraction, and he saw me start
using the law of attraction andstuff like that to get what I
want, and he still thinks it'sluck.
So I'm going to bring him instudio and see if he wants to
talk on our next episode.

There's, there's, no, there'sonly one god.
I'm not a god, but like, justunderstand what I'm saying.
I'm not saying you're the godof the universe and he could
whatever.
You are the gatekeeper of yourreality.
(47:48):
You are the god of your reality.
You are the.
You choose what's real andwhat's not to you.
There's people that choose that.
You know there's God and Satan,and there's some people that
choose not to.
It doesn't matter.
What matters is what youbelieve to be real is real to
you, and everything starts as athought before it becomes
(48:10):
reality.
So are you going to live in lack?
Are you going to choose to livein abundance?
Say it again with me I chooseto live in abundance.
I choose to live in happiness.
I choose to have love or beloved because I deserve it.
Everybody deserves wealth,everybody deserves success.
Everybody deserves happinessand joy and love.

Are you going to take it?
It's free or are you just goingto be like, no, it's impossible
?
Moving on to the next bookThanks, mike, I can't wait for
your next episode.
I mean, yeah, thanks forlistening, but if you're not
going to actually try toexperience or experiment or with
things that I'm talking about,cool, like it's cool.
(48:56):
But I mean thanks for listening, but I wish you would try an
experiment, like try something,look at something that you want.
Keep it simple if you want, andsay that's what I want to see
or that's what I want to happen,or this is what I want to have.
Start it with a thought Now,believe it, that's going to
(49:17):
happen and as the opportunitiescome, before you know it, you'll
have it.
There's many, many stories wherepeople are like I choose, okay,
I got my business, my businessis doing great.
I choose, I want my business tomake $2.5 million in grace and
happiness and love and enjoy.
And it happens.
(49:38):
Where contracts come,unexplainable things happen and
these people are grateful.
You have to Okay, this is a bigthing.
You have to be grateful, livein gratitude, joy and happiness.
You can't be like oh yeah, 2.5million, and be a pompous
butthole after and not begrateful for the universe.
(50:02):
Well, I made this money, Iworked hard, I did this Me, me,
me.
Easy come, easy go, but live inhappiness and joy and
everything will be yours.
Live in happiness and joy.
You deserve it.
You deserve to be rich.
You deserve to have everythingyou want.
(50:23):
That's good for you and for theworld.
Make it a win-win situation foreverybody.
Nothing has to be competition.
Your company, if you'restarting a company, doesn't have
to be competition.
If you have a company andyou're like well, why are we so
like oh, I realize why I'm notnumber one for the reshipping or
company or whatever, or forwhat I'm doing, because I put so
(50:47):
much lack in there.
I'm always like, well, poor me,I'm a victim.
There's so many corruptionseverywhere.
There's people that will likebuy contracts and that's illegal
.
So I'm not going to buycontracts.
But that's the way it's goingto be.
I'm always going to be less onthe totem pole.
No, I choose to be number one.
My company is amazing.
My company is saving peoplehundreds of thousands.
(51:09):
We probably over the last fouryears, saved people millions of
dollars that they would havespent, like, out of all our
customers combined commercial,non-commercial, like residents
and all that and what we, theproducts we offer and the
services we offer saved peoplemillions and I'm happy to do
that.
And we created lots of jobsthroughout the pandemic or the
(51:31):
plandemic in Canada andinadvertently, lots of jobs
throughout the pandemic or thepandemic in Canada.
Inadvertently, in the sense oflike.
We started shipping thousandsof packages, hundreds a day, and
they needed more transporttrucks on the road to handle
these.
They need more employees toprocess these in our areas.
I'm grateful that I was able todo all that and I'm grateful to

(53:19):
Later Bye.
Hello and welcome back to another episode of Life
Changers, and this is Mike.
Sorry, it's been a while.
I know I say that a lot.
I'm Canadian.
I apologize for everything,even if we don't mean it, but a
lot has been going on and, yeah,it's pretty crazy to a lot of
the things I've been learningand doing and experiencing.
(00:47):
So I'd like to start off byapologizing.
I've been lying to you thiswhole time about this stuff.
It is true, I'm so sorry.
Is this clickbait?
I don't know but no, I'velearned a lot.
There's actually a book outthere that, uh, my sister told
me I should read, so I did.
(01:08):
Well, you know me, I don't readit, but I listened to it on
audible.
We are not sponsored by audibleby any means, so please do not
think I am, and if audible islistening and wish to sponsor us
, please let me know.
You can reach me atlifechangersmike at gmailcom.
(01:28):
That's lifechangersmike atgmailcom, oh man.
But yeah, like I said, a lothas been going on and I've been
listening to this new book and Iwill tell you the title here in
a bit there, but I just wantedto say what's been going on and
stuff like that, because I thinkone of the last things we
talked about is how I'm going tomanifest 2.5 million.
(01:49):
Oh, you guys want to know whathappened, do you?
I don't have it yet.
But there's two reasons why,and I realize that, even though
I have all this knowledge andinformation and I'm trying my
best to live the law ofattraction and doing all this
amazing things and stuff, but Ijust realized by reading this
(02:13):
book that I've just been kickingmyself down.
So, first thing I realized iswith one of my companies that I
launched in 2019.
So before 2020, summer of 2019.
And I mentioned it many timesand you know, in 2020,
throughout 2022 and so on, it'sbeen crazy busy.
(02:37):
Okay, like we do a lot ofshipping and all that Because a
lot of communities in Canada,northern communities in Canada,
were like locked down, no one'sallowed in or out and stuff like
that.
And was this new adventure?
I started for non-commercialaccounts, so just for, like,
(02:57):
individuals to use our service.
So you know, just for anutshell, like if they live in a
far enough place, like atCalloway or Nunavut or something
, and they try to order diapersfrom Walmart, well, the shipping
I guess calculator minimum nowused to be 150, but now it's 250
(03:19):
to ship that way because itgoes by plane and all that stuff
, right.
So it has to go by courier tothe plane, to the plane to up
there, to from there to so on,and it's really expensive.
But the last 20 years of mylife I've been building networks
up there and communicationthing with people through all my
(03:40):
commercial accounts, so I wasable to have a network where I
can get stuff up there for verycheap.
So that same box of diapers,let's say, that would cost them
$250 to ship up there.
Well, it would cost me to shipto them, which would charge them
$50.
And stuff like that.
(04:00):
We ship it through the airlines, transportation companies and
so on and so forth.
So it's just a nutshell thatlike.
Like, it's a service that Ioffer people.
So I always say, oh, I want tohelp people, I want to help
people, right.
Well, this was my way of helpingpeople, in the sense of I
figured out a way to a lot ofthese areas that cannot get
cheap shipping.
Or a lot of these companies donot ship to that area, or a lot
(04:22):
of these companies do not shipto that area, so they would have
to, you know, buy it fromeither fly down and buy it
themselves and fly back, or flyor drive the ice roads are open,
or, if they have connectingroads, to like two days to get
the products and go back, orthey can get it shipped to this
(04:42):
third-party company, similar towhere we are.
But then they bring it up andthen it's like just crazy
expensive.
So I was like, well, this ishow I could.
I think it's a good company,right?
And so I did that and joined,like you know, from 2019, it was
slow going 2020, it startedpicking up and going crazy by
(05:03):
that summer.
And then you know, as you heardthe stories now that I moved
from, you know, doing it at onelocation into the trucks until
we got this location.
Now we have two locations uphere and in Ontario, canada, and
it's just been great, and youknow they can shop, they can go
on.
You know Amazon, walmart orwhatever, and normally they'll
(05:24):
say that, like when they puttheir address so we don't ship
there, or, oh, we do, but itdoesn't fall under prime, or it
doesn't fall under free shipping, so you have to pay.
Yeah, it's crazy, like there'sthis one company I've just been
fighting with a little bit.
So, like tires.
I have a commercial accountthat needs tires for some of
(05:45):
their fleets up there.
So I negotiated with thecompany, got tires and they said
oh yeah, we ship anywhere inthe province of Quebec for free,
cool.
So I give them the address andit went through.
I paid for everything and thenthey call me back two weeks
later yeah, we don't, uh, wedon't ship there for free, we
can't ship there at all, it'stoo expensive, it's like $100,
(06:05):
$200 a tire to ship up there.
I was like, okay, well then,how come you don't ship it to me
?
Like they're like oh yeah, okay, what's the address?
I give them the address andthen they're like oh no, it's
like $200 to ship.
So $50 a tire to ship that toyou.
I'm like but you offer freeshipping anywhere in the
(06:27):
province of Quebec.
I'm in Ontario, it's not thatfar.
I mean, you were going to payprobably about, you know, $25,
$30 a tire, and that's how muchit cost to ship it to me.
Anyway, I was like whatever.
So I said look, I'm going tosend you some labels.
You ship it, I pay for theshipping.
And it only costed me like $45a tire to ship it to the Arctic,
which they said it was going tocost like $150 to $200 a tire,
(06:50):
anyway.
So yeah, just where there's awill, there's a way.
But yeah, it's a great company,it's amazing.
And then when we got crazy busy,we were getting like 200, 100
packages a day plus all thecommercial stuff.
So then I was loading my truckevery two to three weeks and
trucking up there and it takestwo days to get there.
(07:12):
Two, three days of deliveriestwo days back.
So I'm gone for a week everytime.
So I'm gone for a week home fortwo, gone for a week home for
two.
And this is where I startedsabotaging myself and you guys
can relate, anybody who'slistening can relate to this.
But you, this is where Istarted sabotaging myself and
you guys can relate, anybodywho's listening can relate to
this.
But you know, anyways, I startedsabotaging myself in the sense
of going, like you know, gettingangry oh, it's so full the
truck.
Like, oh, don't peopleunderstand?
(07:33):
And like they should order morein advance if they want it on
this load.
People are getting like, oh, Iwant it on this load.
Well, hey, pay right away ifyou want it on this load.
And I got it all full, you gotto wait for the next load, and
sometimes I would do a trip,come home for two days, do a
trip, come home for two days, doa trip just to get rid of all
the backlog.
And then the warehouse was full.
I'm not even joking, it was sofull that my kids would run
(07:57):
around and go hide and play,hide and seek in it and you
couldn't find them for a longtime.
And I mean, it's only like a2000 square foot warehouse, um,
but yeah, like the kids werehiding and having a great time,
and I was like, oh, it's so fullin here and you know, just, you
know subconsciously gettingupset with certain situations,
and oh, it's so busy, and oh, wecan't do this.
And and by putting all that inthe universe right, it's stating
(08:26):
well, I don't want this.
So and I used to say a lot tooI'd be like, you know, this is
because of the pandemic,plandemic, whatever you want to
call it right, this is allbecause of that crap that's
going on in Canada and like allthe lockdowns, so they're not
allowed to leave, hence why myservice is becoming and we're
one of the only companies thatwere delivering we were in
delivering people's groceriesbecause the main companies have
(08:47):
been doing business with themfor the last 20 years,
delivering groceries to theirgrocery stores, and everything
said, no, we're not doing it.
This is the time people need you.
And they're like, oh, no,thanks for your business for the
last like 20, 30 years, butscrew you guys.
So then we picked up the slackand we started delivering
groceries to people's homes forthem, so they could have food,
water.
You know the necessities oflife because everybody's like no
(09:10):
, no, we're not going up there,I'm staying home like this crazy
, right, and I'm like peopleneed us now, so let's help them,
right?
So we stepped up.
(09:31):
And then what pisses me off,subconsciously, and whatever
pisses me off, is, after all,that they all go back to their
normal routines, and when theyneeded somebody, we stepped up.
Now they don't need us.
It's back to normal and to hellwith you guys, right, and I'm
like bastards.
And I'm like bastards, but Iknow this is by my design,
because I used to say, oh, it'sonly because of the pandemic and
all the lockdowns that peopleare using our services.
(09:52):
Later it will be slower andmore normal, right, but I don't
live normal.
I'm always amazing at what I doand I want extraordinary things
to happen.
Like I told you before, myaccountant says that's
impossible to invest and getthat kind of return in your
first year, or it's impossibleto do this with your business
right when I started that brandin 2019, everybody's telling me
(10:14):
it's impossible.
You're going to drain all yourassets, all your money, and then
boom, I'm very successful.
The only reason why I'mdraining my assets or losing
money is if I decide to, andthat's the way I live, and, yeah
, I have nobody to blame.
I can't blame anything sayingoh well, right now, it's the
recession in 2024.
(10:35):
No one's spending money.
They're spending money becausethey need food, they need things
.
Everybody's spending money.
I'm still spending money.
Everybody's spending money onstuff we need or think we need,
or things we want like bettercomputers, tvs, so on and so
forth.
So it's all BS.
You create what you create.
And here's one thing I learnedabout this book.
(10:56):
The main thing he dumbs it down.
This book was written in 1910,over 100 years ago, and I'm
telling you now.
I feel that everybody thattalks about all this law of
attraction and whatnot are allusing this book as their base or
some version of it.
I guarantee it, that's myfeeling and that's my reality.
(11:19):
So I'm right, too bad, butseriously, check it out.
You could agree with me, okay,and I grew up, even like I grew
up in religion, as you know, andI was told this you know, mike,
if you think of doing badthings, therefore it's a thought
(11:40):
, and that thought willeventually turn to action, which
will turn into reality, becausethen you're going to want to do
that bad thing, right.
So you know, if I wanted towatch pornography, right, that's
a big no, no.
And when my religion growing up, and it's like, if you think
about it, then you're going todesire it and that's going to
become a want, and then you'regoing to become in reality and
(12:00):
you're going to end up watchinga pornography or whatever, right
, porno, stuff like that, right,and that's a big taboo in my
world.
Oh no, it's the end of theworld.
You're going to go to hell ifyou do that and stuff like that,
right, I'm not saying it's goodor bad or anything.
Like everybody, live your life,do your thing, I don't really
care.
But you know it makesmicrophone.
(12:29):
I'm talking into right now thedevice recording.
I'm using my laptop, soeverything I have.
I have my essential oil machinehere, misty, nice, beautiful,
right, all the led lights,everything, everything in this
world, everything around you,starts as a thought before it
brings it to reality.
So, therefore, if a thought canbecome reality, anything is
(12:55):
possible.
So I put the thought that Iwant the $2.5 million.
So I'm going to make that myreality.
And I know what you're saying.
Oh, you know, once again, I'mmaking it sound so easy.
Right, it's not that easy.
Once you have the thought ofdesigning a computer or a cell
phone or something, then you gotto figure out how to make it
work and then bring it toreality.
Okay, so you can't just be likeI'm going to wait for things to
(13:20):
happen.
Here's a joke again.
I said this many times on mypodcast.
I'm saying it again.
You know, everybody likes money, right?
So, um, there's this guy andI'm sure you're everybody's
heard this, but if you haven't,hey, it's a good laugh there's
this guy who's like I lost myjob, I need to win the lottery,
(13:40):
and he prays about it.
Lottery comes and goes and heprays about it.
Lottery comes and goes, doesn'twin.
My family's leaving me.
I need the lottery.
Thank you God, nothing happens.
My family left me.
I lost my house, live on thestreet, I need the lottery.
Nothing happens.
Why did you forsake me, god?
How come you're not allowing meto win the lottery?
(14:02):
And then God comes down andsays hey, man, at least meet me
halfway and buy a ticket.
It's true, we expect everythingjust to be done for us without
us doing things.
So by reading this book thatI've read, it kind of clarifies
everything and dubs it down insuch a way where it's like duh,
nothing is as complicated as itsounds, as complicated as it
(14:24):
sounds right.
Kiss, keep it simple, stupid.
That's a good motto.
Keep everything simple.
Things aren't as complicated,not as like oh crazy, as it
makes it sound right, it's aseasy.
As you have a thought of whatyou want to do, you have that
thought, this is what you want,this is how you want to execute
it, or you know, I'm puttingthat thought out there and this
(14:47):
is what I want, and asopportunity comes, I'm going to
start doing it.
So me sitting here in my officegoing I want my company to be
back to 200 packages a day, Iwant this, and I just sit here
doing nothing about it.
Well, no, I got to startadvertising, I got to start
picking up the phone.
I got to start doing this,doing that right, and do my part
(15:08):
.
And in this book I love thisguy.
So it's that I read theoriginal version, 1910 version.
They have an updated versionwhere it's like more our lingo,
our language, but this was likestraight the original wording,
everything our lingo, ourlanguage.
But this was like straight theoriginal wording, everything.
(15:28):
And one of the things he says isyou are like, not stupid, but
like I mean, this is our termyou are very stupid if you think
you do not need money or you donot want money.
And he talks about how, likeback then, like you will be
programmed to think money is bad.
Rich people are bad, sosubconsciously you're not going
(15:49):
to want money.
But that's foolish becauseeverybody wants money and you
deserve the money and youdeserve to do what you want to
do with the money Luxury food,luxury outings with your family,
whatever you want, and there'splenty of money, there's no lack
.
Outings with your family,whatever you want, and there's
plenty of money, there's no lack.
(16:10):
And he talks about business, howeasy it is to create lack and
then make more money as abusiness, right, and he talks
about how everything happens theway it needs to happen.
But there's one difference.
And he also states in his bookyou are guaranteed to get rich
by following his steps.
Okay, okay, only book.
He's like that guarantees to besuccessful and rich if you
(16:31):
follow his steps and that's allthere is to it.
He says like it's that easy,but if you don't follow it's
your problem.
And he talks a lot aboutbusiness.
He goes if you own a business,the mindset that they're going
to push you to do is competition.
Right, and you probably heardme talk many times about
competition in my business.
(16:51):
Oh, there's this other companydoing this and why they poor me,
right.
But he goes.
Doing business out ofcompetition and making as much
as you can and ripping peopleoff will make you money for a
while, but it'll not make youmoney forever and eventually
you'll drop.
Look at all these hugecompanies all over the world
that's dropped, that weresuccessful, like in Canada Sears
(17:14):
gone, zellers gone, right.
All because competition.
There's plenty of business andopportunity for everybody to
everybody to make money.
So in my case, with thetransportation thing and the
shipping thing, yeah, I havelike a competition up there, but
I should not wish them ill oranything.
(17:36):
There's plenty of money forthem to make, for me to make,
because I couldn't handle thewhole entire show.
They couldn't handle the wholeentire show because during the
pandemic they couldn't handlethe whole show.
So we started putting trucks onthe road because they weren't
keeping up.
They couldn't keep up, theywere crazy.
And then they're like we can'tdeliver this, we can't deliver
that, and they're months andmonths behind.
And then we're just boom, boom,boom, let's go knock it out,
(17:58):
get it done.
We need another truck.
Boom, get somebody in thattruck.
Let's go.
Like, these people need it,right.
And yeah, it used to be like oh,you know, everybody's
competition, be your owncompetition.
I just had a business meetingwith somebody and I'm like, yeah
, be your own competition.
Man, yeah, you have thiscompany on that end of the city.
(18:19):
Let's do something over here inone of my warehouses and be
your own competition.
You're going to be making money, no matter what, who cares?
But like, there is nocompetition.
You got to start your companyand whatever that you're doing,
if you want to start a companyor anything, but there's no
competition.
Here's an instance.
I know people in my life thatlive the competition in life and
(18:41):
they don't own their owncompany.
They work for people andthere's always something like,
oh well, everything'scompetition.
And then this person doesn'tlike me because I make them look
bad.
Right, and that's the realitythey're creating.
Before you know it, they'regoing from job to job to job.
They're never happy in the jobsthey have.
Look at me.
I had everything I wanted.
I was busy, money was flowing.
With this new brand I startedand it was going crazy busy and
(19:06):
I was grumpy.
I'm like, oh right, poor me.
I was grumpy and like, oh right, poor me.
Look how busy we are.
I've been working 16 hours.
Oh, poor me.
Now I got to go drive and for aweek and I got to do all the
unloading and it's minus 60 upthere and it's cold on the ice
roads Poor me.
Blah, blah, blah, right.
Well, now look, I have nothing.
I go up maybe once every othermonth.
Before I was going up like two,three times a month and you
(19:33):
know, packages coming throughused to be like 100, 200 a day.
It's a lot less than that nowand that's my fault.
I have nobody to blame.
You got to take responsibilityfor your actions.
You have nobody to blame, justlike people like today.
I was talking to one of myemployees today and he was
saying, like how he talks, liketo people and they're like, or
he was watching Family Feud.
(19:55):
And one of the questions is,like you know, on a scale of one
to 10, one, you know how manypeople hate going into work on
Monday?
You know one meaning low and 10meaning high.
And and, uh, he was like, well,you know one, two, right.
Like if you love your job, likewhatever, because you're
earning money to do whatever youwant, but most people are, like
(20:15):
you know, seven, eight, nine,like hate, hate it, hate it
right.
And it's amazing to me because Iwas just thinking like, okay,
if you didn't have a job, you'dbe crying that you need a job.
Now you have a job, you'recrying that you have to work to
make money.
Like, be happy, and that's whatI am learning.
I know I talk about it, but youtruly just got to be happy with
(20:37):
what you have.
You know, you hear me talking.
You could probably follow mything from the beginning to now.
You hear me saying like, well,like, give me all this money,
how come I'm not really makingmillions right now so I can help
people?
I can help people, reallymaking millions right now.
So I can help people, I canhelp people, I can help people
Right, and here's the thing thatthe book talks about.
(20:59):
He goes, you know, not to soundlike I'm a bad person or
something, but these peopleasking for money all the time
for this organization to helpthese people, this organization
to help this and this, theirwhole business thrives on lack
and they need these people tohave nothing for them to be
successful in their company.
So they are creating, with thelaw of attraction, lack in the
(21:21):
universe and all that to keeptheir business growing.
That's what they need.
They need lack, just like forthe police, their job is to keep
crime down and stuff, but ifthere is no crime, then there'll
be less police, less jobs.
So therefore, you know, theykind of subconsciously create
lack that, oh, there's a lot ofcrime, there's a lot of this
(21:42):
right, subconsciously, right.
It's not like they're out theredoing crime or creating, hey,
go shoot somebody, right, butlike, yeah, like with law of
attraction, they're thinkinglike there's a lot of crime.
I see the crime all the timeand that's all they're living is
crime, crime, crime, crime.
They could always see the badin the world, just like these
places, these companies, theseorganizations asking for money
for this and that, or help these, help this, help that?
(22:05):
Well, you're.
By you giving them money.
You're agreeing that there's alot of lack out there, but there
isn't.
There is no lack in this world.
There's plenty for everybody.
We've just been programmed tobelieve that there's lack.
How many years have you heardall the time these different
(22:27):
things over the years?
And you can Google whatever ifit's not censored in your
country, like things are inCanada, but you can Google
things like back in like the1950s, it was a, there was
another global warming thing orglobal cold or whatever.
Oh, we're fuel crisis and thisand that, but we have everything
(22:51):
we need in this earth.
We have so much renewableenergy, renewable, this,
renewable that, that if there'sany lack, it's artificial lack
Because there is.
I choose not to live in a worldof lack.
In my world, I choose abundance.
And in that book again, he'slike talking about like, if you
(23:16):
need something, and let's sayyou need for your business a
sewing machine and you need thebest of the best, Well, and he
put that in the universe, theuniverse will be like well,
there's this guy and he lives inJapan, he manufactures this and
it's the best of the best.
Then he will end up in yourarea for an event, a venue, and
you're going to end up meetingthis person.
You're going to be like, wow, Ineed that, so you buy it.
(23:38):
It helps him right.
It's a win-win.
So for business, in this bookit states like if you want to be
rich, you have to have awin-win for everybody.
So all my companies I do is awin-win, meaning my commercial
company, I source products Ifind the best and the most
efficient and the best price andI'm the best price and for
(24:01):
transport and installation setup and I do my best, right.
Same with the other one Istarted in 2019.
For the individuals, they can'tget this stuff cheap.
A gallon or four liters of milkup there in the Arctic is like
(24:23):
15 to 20 bucks.
We're crying down here whenit's at, like you know, eight
bucks.
It's a lot more up there, butyet you know they could buy
cereal and all that from downhere, which is really cheap, and
we could ship it to them, whichis cheap and still cheaper than
buying it up there.
But it's a win-win foreverybody.
So there's no competition.
You've got to win-win.
(24:44):
When you have employees, youcan't be like oh, like you know.
And if you are an employee, youcan't be like this person owes
me I worked, so you know.
And if you are an employee, youcan't be like this person owes
me bad, bad, bad.
I worked so hard.
And if you're that person,you're the victim mentality and
all that no, I'm.
Chances are you're slacking andyou're not doing your way,
pulling your weight.
I'm sorry to say you're adouche If you're playing the
victim card on everything you dolike.
(25:05):
I don't understand thementality of like, oh, this
company is making millions andI'm going to rip them off or
they owe me more.
I would love to see you do whatthey do Like.
Yeah, you're probably thinkingyou're biased because you own
your own little company.
Just to keep this door open, Ineed over $10,000 a month.
(25:26):
That's just to break even, noteven with employees or nothing.
That's just rent and hydro andfuel and stuff Minimum $10,000,
which is nothing.
All these big companies you'retalking about are hundreds and
thousands $200,000, $300,000 amonth just to keep the doors
open.
So, yeah, they might be makingall this money in sales, but
(25:48):
after all expenses they haveenough to keep it afloat.
And when it's hard times, theyhave enough to keep it afloat.
And don't get me wrong, there'sa lot of companies out there
that are doing the whole.
Let's rip everybody off as muchas we can and make them work
for as little as we can, blah,blah, blah.
But you also have to understandthe whole economics of the
whole world.
Okay, I'm not going to get intothat right now.
(26:09):
I'm back with a lot of traction.
Okay, calm down.
But everything in the world hasabundance.
If there's a lack, it's yourfault, and I take blame for my
company if it's slowing down orif it's lack or if I feel like
I'm not going to.
You know, I got to work harder,I got to do this, I got a
(26:30):
budget better, blah, blah, blah.
It's my fault because when thetimes were good, I was bitching,
moaning, like oh, so busy, oh,poor me.
And I was playing the victim.
Like screw that, be happy withwhat you have.
Because where you are and whereyou're going to be is either
your choice if you're going tobe better off or if you're going
to be worse off.
(26:50):
So if you're the victimmentality, you're going to be
nowhere, if not less worse off.
I know so many people in my lifethat are just like poor me.
I could never be rich.
Oh, you're only rich because ofopportunity.
I came from nothing and Icreated my wealth because I
decided to.
That's all there is to it.
I chose to start beingsuccessful and, as you heard in
(27:15):
my podcast many times, that howbefore, like subconsciously, I
would sabotage myself with moneyand I'll never have money.
Blah, blah, blah.
Well, now I know the languageof money, the energy of money
and how it works and how itflows.
And it all comes down to youand what you believe in your
heart and what your energiesyou're putting out there.
(27:36):
So, if you're putting out lack,well, change it.
Well, how do I change it?
Mike, you know, if you werelistening to my podcast, you
would have started reading thesecertain books, like the one
book, how to Break the Habit ofbeing Yourself.
That was the main book that Istarted with by Dr Joe Dispenza.
Then, after that, I read a bookcalled the Surrender Experiment
(27:56):
by Michael A Singer, and I waslike that's true, just got to
learn to surrender when thingsare happening and go with it.
And things will happenamazingly If I did not surrender
.
When I met my wife back in theday, like 18 years ago now, I
probably would have sabotagedthat, but I realized and I was
(28:17):
like oh, and everything happenedin such a way where I was like,
wow, yeah, this is meant to be.
This is amazing, right?
Just with my new company Istarted in 2019, the new brand,
if I did not surrender.
And I listened to everybodytelling me no, no, no, you're
stupid.
This, that this, that I wouldnot be anywhere.
I could choose success and Icould choose failure, but I
(28:40):
choose to have success.
I choose that there's no lack,that there's abundance for
everybody around me.
And in this book it states thatyou cannot go around telling
people what they're not ready tohear.
And it's true because I wastalking to somebody like, hey,
you know somebody I know verywell.
I was explaining to them andyou know they, you know they
(29:01):
make good money, but they alwayshave no money and they always
say, oh, I'm poor, I can'tafford this.
Oh, I can't afford this.
Oh, I'm poor, I can't do this.
No-transcript.
And in the book it says like youcould go blue in the face
(29:22):
telling people what to do andhow to make money and how to get
out of the situation, how tobetter themselves and blah, blah
, blah.
But if they're not ready, toobad, so sad.
And it's true, like when I wasin religion, I was like, well,
my religion's the best,everybody else is wrong, poor
them, because my religion toldme I'm the rightest and I'm the
bestest right.
I know they're not real words,just but yeah, and I felt bad
(29:44):
for everybody else and I'm likeI know everything and they know
nothing.
Blah, blah, blah, right.
And I would like like try totell everybody come join me and
join our religion, ours is thebest, yours isn't good, yours is
of the devil, right, orwhatever.
But if they're not ready tohear, they were not ready to
hear and stuff.
And I realized like, yes, it'strue, there's people that are
(30:06):
victim mentality and there'llalways be.
There's people that are victimmentality and there'll always be
.
But in this book it's alsostates that just live these
simple rules right.
Rule number one live withinabundance, don't allow lack.
If you feel lack or negativity,push it out and say I live in
abundance.
(30:27):
I listened to this book often.
I listened to it four or fivetimes already.
It's like four hours long on anaudible Um, and I believe
listened to it four or fivetimes already.
It's like four hours long onAudible and I believe it was
free, like the one I got, andstuff like that.
But anyways, yeah, and when Igive you the name, you can look
it up.
I'm holding on so you listenlonger.
(30:47):
You're going to be like justtell me the name, mike, so I can
stop listening to your podcast.
Well, no, you need to listen tomy podcast because it's
uplifting and this will changeyour life, because these are my
experiences, these are myrealities, my truths.
This is what I'm going through,this is what I'm learning, and
I feel the lack every day tryingto push down on me, and I got
(31:09):
to ignore it and be like no,there's abundance.
The lack every day trying topush down on me, and I got to
ignore it and be like no,there's abundance, right,
there's slow times in mycompanies where I'm like, okay,
I got to keep up, I got to haveall this money to pay for
everything, even though we'renot bringing in as much, right,
and I'm thinking there's lack,there's lack, but no.
So here's a story in the book.
(31:35):
In the book, he uses someexamples, and one example is a
guy who's like I want to own myown house but he's barely making
ends meet.
He was working for like minimumwage or less, not, doesn't have
that much money and he wasrenting and the rent was really
like living paycheck to paycheck, barely breaking even like what
most people feels like.
Right, wow, we're poor, we justas soon as I pay rent and buy a
little bit of food, that's allwe have, we're done, right.
So he was living in lack andthen he met this guy and he's
(31:59):
listening to his, him and hisbook and stuff.
And then he was there talkingand then the guy's like, okay,
well, I want a new carpet.
So he says I want a new carpet.
There is abundance in the worldright, I want a new carpet.
And grace and happiness andlove, I want a carpet.
So that's what he lived and putin the world.
And you know law of attractionhe has this thought and then it
(32:21):
becoming action and then, beforeyou know it, there's ways where
he ended up getting more hoursat work.
He could afford the carpet nowand he worked, right.
Oh, you're saying I have towork, mike, to make millions and
make money.
Do I buy my carpet?
Yeah, but he had theopportunities and he went with
the flow.
He surrendered and listened andsaid, oh, I'm getting more
(32:42):
hours, Instead of bitching andmoaning oh, I got more hours.
I deserve not to work.
Well, if you're not making endsmeet, you got to work your butt
off to make ends meet.
And this guy's like, oh, I gotan extra two shifts.
Boom, now he made enough moneyfor the carpet.
And he's like, huh, well, if Icould do that with the carpet,
let's go bigger.
And then he fast forward to likehalf a year he owns the house
(33:06):
and now he's going through thehouse.
So he's managed to make enoughhours and he had side jobs and
other opportunities come his way.
Um, where he was making moremoney like he worked, but he
also had other opportunities,made him a lot of money that he
was able to buy the house in sixmonths.
Now he owns the house and nowhe's going through the house,
going I need a new stove, I needa new this, I need a new that.
(33:27):
And he was just manifesting itand opportunities came and he
grasped them and took them withlove and, you know, in grace and
happiness and in love and injoy.
He accepted it because theuniverse wants us to be happy.
And if you live the mindset that, like most people do or not
most people, but most people inthe spirituality world, as they
(33:49):
call it, or in the Hakuna Matataworld, or dirty hippies, as
people call us sometimes, but no, if you're living in that
mentality of I create my realityBecause think about it
Everything you believe,everything you come to know and
understand is from informationand knowledge that you are
gathering, either from books,listening to people and I'm not
(34:12):
saying if it's right or wrongbut that creates your reality,
your belief system.
So, therefore, you are you know, for lack of a better word the
god of your reality, the creatorof your reality, because
everything you believe, if youaccept it or not, if you're like
oh, I accept this, mike, whatyou're saying is crazy, you're
stupid, I don't accept it.
So this is my reality.
(34:32):
Good, like, we're on the samepage here.
I just want people tounderstand that you are the
creator of abundance or thecreator of lack or non-abundance
, or of emptiness.
You're the creator of love oryou're the creator of hate.
You could say well, no, thatperson's bad energy made me bad.
(34:52):
Or this person slapped me inthe face today and pissed me off
and now I'm mad.
Then I'm going to go slap thisperson in the face and just make
a big thing, right, yeah, youchose to make it a big thing too
.
Oh, wow, and then whatever.
Right, Like everything comesdown to a decision that you make
every second of every day, areyou going to wake up pissed off
or are you going to wake uphappy?
(35:13):
Do you wake up and say I need acup of joe, I need my coffee,
or I'm going to be unbearable tobe with.
Or I need my cigarette, or I'mgoing to be unbearable.
Or I need this and I need myroutine, or you're going to hate
me.
That's your reality and youcreated that.
It's the world.
They made me do this.
(35:33):
No, you chose.
Take responsibility.
And once you understand thatthe world is yours, you have the
cheat codes, you have the hack,you have the ability to create
anything you want.
So say it with me, everybody,just say it with me.
(35:54):
Say I choose the reality andthe beliefs I have based on the
information I receive.
If you want to say it that way,say it that way.
Say I am responsible foreverything in my life.
Take responsibility.
I say your name, so I'm Mike,take responsibility for all my
actions and for everything Ihave in my life, and I choose
(36:15):
abundance in my life and Ichoose wealth, I choose success
and I choose happiness, and Ichoose joy and shun I'm using
big words today Shun, push away.
Don't listen to the people thatare, all you know, bringing you
down as you say, like, oh, it'sthese people that I hang out
with.
Well, you chose to hang outwith those people, so it's your
fault, right?
(36:36):
So choose abundance, choose joy, choose love, choose happiness,
right, and just know that.
(36:59):
Well, see, here's one thingthat just hit me Everybody says
you have to go through the hardtimes for the good times.
I don't believe you have to.
I'm telling you you do not haveto go through hard times and
life-threatening trials orwhatever.
You might appreciate what youhave more if you have a
near-death experience.
You might appreciate morethings that you lost.
(37:23):
And then you're like oh no,I'll never get it back, so you
never will.
I'm tired of hearing peopletalking about how, oh, I know
people that are making like $30,$40 an hour, that are like
we're so poor, poor me.
Please, mike, give me stuff forfree, and I'm like wow, on
(37:52):
paper, on your tax returns, youhave a lot more money than I do
Like disposable cash.
I have all this stuff.
I got to keep going.
I got other people.
I got my employees' lives,their families, in my hands.
I got to make money to supportmultiple families, not just my
(38:12):
family, but my family, myemployees' families.
Right, contractors that I hirethat depend on my company.
Right, suppliers that are like,wow, you're our biggest
customer.
Like we need you, without you,we would be bankrupt.
Like I have all thisresponsibility but you're
(38:33):
sitting here crying, poor you,when you have guaranteed income
and you work for whatever.
Like I know people that workfor the government that make a
crap ton of money and they'restill like the victim.
Oh, poor me.
And I understand it.
Okay, I've been there where Iwas like making $20 to $25 an
(38:53):
hour 20 years ago before Istarted going with my own thing,
and that was a lot of moneyback then.
Nowadays that's probably like$50, $60 an hour, but yet I had
no money.
Okay, and one of my friends,she was making minimum wage and
back then it was $7.25 an hour.
She had her own apartment, shehad a car, I lived at home and I
(39:18):
paid a little bit of rent.
You know $300, $400 of rent tomy parents.
Just, you know, hey, I'm makinga lot of money.
Here you go, because you knowthat's the rule.
If I'm not going to university,not saving for a house or
whatnot, then, you know, pay alittle bit to stay in the house.
It helps the family.
So it's like I choose to helpthe family instead of moving out
on my own, because it's helpingme too.
(39:39):
It's a win-win.
I save money, they make money,and it's a win-win.
But yet I had an attitude oflack of poor me, I'm poor, I'm
always going to be poor becausethe rich get rich and the poor
get poor.
I'm poor, I'm always going tobe poor because the rich get
rich and the poor get poor.
That's the way it is right,that's the way we're taught,
that's the way we're programmed,that's the way we see it in
movies, social media, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, right,
(40:01):
everywhere.
Even my own parents weretelling me that because that's
the way it was.
But it's not true.
If that's your reality, then itis.
But I chose not to let that bemy reality.
I was making a crap ton of moneywhen I was younger, as a young
adult.
When I first started my company, I was making tons of money,
(40:22):
but I always put myself insituations where there's lack.
So then there's opportunity forme to lose a lot of money.
So I take responsibility.
I'm testifying right now frommy podcast studio, but I am
responsible for my actions, formy life, for my wealth, for my
(40:45):
abundance and all that.
I choose abundance, I chooselove, I choose happiness, I
choose an amazing experience.
In this reality.
There is no lack in my reality.
There's only abundance and joyand happiness.
And I know you're thinkingthat's so hard, mike, you don't
(41:05):
understand me.
It's hard for me.
I blah, blah, blah.
Well, with that attitude,attitude, yeah, it is hard for
you because you choose to makeit hard for yourself by thinking
that it is so.
Therefore, you're creatingbecause, as we discussed at the
beginning of this podcast, andwe all agree on it everything in
(41:27):
this world starts as a thoughtbefore it becomes an action.
Even if I'm like I going to gobeat the crap out of this guy
because he ripped me off, well,it started as a thought, and
then, if I turned it into anaction, well, I got to live by
the consequences of my actions,and that's what people do not
take responsibility for.
Okay, stop listening to themainstream media, stop listening
(41:54):
to all the stuff.
Everything is programmed tokeep you Dumb, keep you down,
keep you poor In the way ofthinking, because that is the
reality Of our world.
Everything is a thought beforeit becomes reality or an action.
So therefore, if you're saying,well, poor me, I'm always going
(42:15):
to be poor, no matter how hardI work, fine, you'll be poor.
You're going to live paycheckto paycheck.
You're going to choose yourstruggles.
Right, you see it in allmainstream, everything,
mainstream celebrities.
Oh, I was poor, I came fromnothing, and then I worked and
worked and tried and I didn'tbelieve and then I became
something right.
But it doesn't have to be hardif you don't want it to be hard.
(42:39):
Life is what you make it.
You are the creator.
I cannot say that as much asoften enough you need to look at
yourself and say I am creator,I am responsible for my actions,
I create my reality and chooseabundance.
You can sit there and do listento I ams if you want, and if
(43:00):
you don't know what I ams are, Iams are positive affirmations
that program you to believe andunderstand that.
Yes, and I've seen in manymovies where you see like these
people down and they're likepoor and those I ams to make
them look stupid and all that.
But it's true, it does help ifyou want it to.
And I ams are amazing, justlike nice music, soft voice and
(43:22):
goes.
You know I am successful, I amabundant, you deserve wealth,
and you know it goes on and onand on but I digress of wealth
and it goes on and on and on butI digress.
The book that I've been talkingabout this whole time is written
by Wallace D Wattler, wattlers,wattler, anyways, it's called
(43:46):
the Science of Getting Rich.
Okay, look it up on Audible.
It's called the Science ofgetting rich and I downloaded it
for free.
I didn't even use a credit toget the original, but you can
like.
I said there's other versionsbecause he also has one called
the trilogy and it was like 12bucks or one credit or whatever.
(44:06):
It's called the science ofgetting rich and his other book
called the science of being welland the science of being great,
and I just love how simple.
And this was written in 1910,the first book anyways, I didn't
listen to the other ones yet.
That's in an original form andit could do you wonders.
(44:26):
And there's another book I waslistening to which it has a lot
in it I'll talk more about.
It Is the game of life and howto play it.
There's some things I don'tagree in the book.
I listened to almost all of it.
Actually, there's only 46minutes left.
No, build his body or rebuildhis affairs.
(44:48):
I listened to it at 1.5 speed.
Oh no, there's lots of timeleft.
I've got like two hours left.
Anyway, sorry about that, butyeah, that book is good too the
Game of Life and how to Play it.
It's very interesting.
And you've got to understand,like when I read books or listen
to things, I only listen andunderstand the things that like
(45:08):
vibe with my soul, that I feelit like yes, this is what vibes
with me.
And there's things that I'mlike, nah, at this moment it's
probably not right for me tolisten to.
And I can listen to a book likefive, 10 times, or read a book
multiple times, and then I'llhave things that I was like, eh,
are now like, oh, I understandnow.
So you have to listen to thesebooks and more than once can't
(45:32):
just be like okay, I listened toit, mike.
Now I'm a rich man.
Listen to it more than once.
It even says listen to it often, daily, if you can, and it will
change your life.
Because he's simple form and I'mgoing to talk more about these
books, both of them as um, weget into it.
I'm also bringing in a friend.
I talked about him many times,how he was with me at the
(45:55):
casinos when I did my firstexperiment, called the real
experiment was using the law ofattraction, and he saw me start
using the law of attraction andstuff like that to get what I
want, and he still thinks it'sluck.
So I'm going to bring him instudio and see if he wants to
talk on our next episode.
So a lot of fun things arecoming.
I'm going to do my best.

There's, there's, no, there'sonly one god.
I'm not a god, but like, justunderstand what I'm saying.
I'm not saying you're the godof the universe and he could
whatever.
You are the gatekeeper of yourreality.
(47:48):
You are the god of your reality.
You are the.
You choose what's real andwhat's not to you.
There's people that choose that.
You know there's God and Satan,and there's some people that
choose not to.
It doesn't matter.
What matters is what youbelieve to be real is real to
you, and everything starts as athought before it becomes
(48:10):
reality.
So are you going to live in lack?
Are you going to choose to livein abundance?
Say it again with me I chooseto live in abundance.
I choose to live in happiness.
I choose to have love or beloved because I deserve it.
Everybody deserves wealth,everybody deserves success.
Everybody deserves happinessand joy and love.

Are you going to reach for it?
Are you going to take it?
It's free or are you just goingto be like, no, it's impossible
?
Moving on to the next bookThanks, mike, I can't wait for
your next episode.
I mean, yeah, thanks forlistening, but if you're not
going to actually try toexperience or experiment or with
things that I'm talking about,cool, like it's cool.
(48:56):
But I mean thanks for listening, but I wish you would try an
experiment, like try something,look at something that you want.
Keep it simple if you want, andsay that's what I want to see
or that's what I want to happen,or this is what I want to have.
Start it with a thought Now,believe it, that's going to
(49:17):
happen and as the opportunitiescome, before you know it, you'll
have it.
There's many, many stories wherepeople are like I choose, okay,
I got my business, my businessis doing great.
I choose, I want my business tomake $2.5 million in grace and
happiness and love and enjoy.
And it happens.
(49:38):
Where contracts come,unexplainable things happen and
these people are grateful.
You have to Okay, this is a bigthing.
You have to be grateful, livein gratitude, joy and happiness.
You can't be like oh yeah, 2.5million, and be a pompous
butthole after and not begrateful for the universe.
(50:02):
Well, I made this money, Iworked hard, I did this Me, me,
me.
Easy come, easy go, but live inhappiness and joy and
everything will be yours.
Live in happiness and joy.
You deserve it.
You deserve to be rich.
You deserve to have everythingyou want.
(50:23):
That's good for you and for theworld.
Make it a win-win situation foreverybody.
Nothing has to be competition.
Your company, if you'restarting a company, doesn't have
to be competition.
If you have a company andyou're like well, why are we so
like oh, I realize why I'm notnumber one for the reshipping or
company or whatever, or forwhat I'm doing, because I put so
(50:47):
much lack in there.
I'm always like, well, poor me,I'm a victim.
There's so many corruptionseverywhere.
There's people that will likebuy contracts and that's illegal
.
So I'm not going to buycontracts.
But that's the way it's goingto be.
I'm always going to be less onthe totem pole.
No, I choose to be number one.
My company is amazing.
My company is saving peoplehundreds of thousands.
(51:09):
We probably over the last fouryears, saved people millions of
dollars that they would havespent, like, out of all our
customers combined commercial,non-commercial, like residents
and all that and what we, theproducts we offer and the
services we offer saved peoplemillions and I'm happy to do
that.
And we created lots of jobsthroughout the pandemic or the
(51:31):
plandemic in Canada andinadvertently, lots of jobs
throughout the pandemic or thepandemic in Canada.
Inadvertently, in the sense oflike.
We started shipping thousandsof packages, hundreds a day, and
