Welcome to the Cisco Chronicles
with your host,
Cisco.
Hey, everyone. Welcome back to the Sysco Chronicle.
Today, we're diving into
a concept that could shift how you approach
your goals
(00:24):
and opportunities.
You've probably experienced this phenomenon without realizing it
and understanding
it could change everything.
It's called the red car concept.
I'd like to ask a quick favor before
we get started.
Make sure you subscribe
so you don't miss an episode, leave a
(00:45):
rating, or review. It would mean a lot.
Alright.
Let me ask you a question.
Did you see any red cars today while
driving to work,
home,
the grocery store maybe?
What's your answer? Yes?
No?
Maybe?
(01:07):
Or
I don't remember.
You probably did, but didn't notice.
Why am I asking you this?
Well, you're gonna find out.
Here's the deal. Right? So when you go
out, you buy a red car,
and, suddenly,
red cars are everywhere.
(01:29):
It's not like they magically appeared overnight.
They've always been there.
But now you're attuned to them.
Your mind is focused,
and so you notice
what aligns with that focus.
This concept doesn't just apply to cars.
It applies to your passions,
(01:51):
your goals,
and the opportunities
that you think are just out of reach,
but they're not.
They're right there
waiting for you
to tune in.
Let me share how this played out in
my life.
Before I started the Sysco Chronicles,
(02:12):
I've always been interested in wealth, health,
and relationships.
But these interests were
just
they were just that
personal passions I thought about privately.
When I started the podcast,
something changed.
It was like
(02:33):
flipping a switch.
Suddenly,
I'm meeting more fitness coaches,
mental health professionals,
and relationship therapists.
Those encounters
weren't random.
They were
perfectly aligned
with what I was thinking about.
(02:54):
Also,
meeting people in my daily life
that are willing to talk about their story,
good or
bad, in order to help others,
which I will be having
them
as guests in the future up in future
episodes.
So
(03:14):
here's the truth.
They were always there.
I just wasn't paying attention.
But now,
because I'm
consistently
thinking about these things, these topics,
I've been hyper aware
of the people,
the conversations,
(03:34):
and opportunities
connected to them.
And you know what?
I'm sure these topics came up before.
I probably even
brushed them off as nonrelevant to me at
the time.
But now
I'm actively listening,
seeking,
and finding them.
(03:56):
It's not magic.
It's a mindset.
Let's talk about
why these matter.
How often have you caught yourself saying,
why don't those opportunities happen to me?
Or
why does everything seem to work out for
(04:17):
everyone else?
Here's the hard truth, and I had to
learn this myself.
If you're not tuned in,
you'll miss the signs.
Worse,
if you're telling yourself,
this isn't for me
or that'll never happen,
guess what?
Then it won't.
(04:38):
The red car concept is all about focus.
What you focus on grows.
When you direct your attention and energy towards
a goal,
you naturally start to see pathways to achieve
it.
And here's where
it gets interesting.
(05:01):
The opportunities
don't magically appear.
They've been there all along.
It's about tuning into the right frequency,
like adjusting the radio.
When you
focus on what you want,
you're telling your mind,
this is important,
(05:22):
and your brain starts filtering the world
to show you more of it.
This isn't just a
feel good concept. It's practical.
When you focus,
whether it's starting a business,
pursuing personal growth,
(05:43):
or
creating a podcast.
You're training your brain to notice what's relevant,
but you need to act.
A perfect example
of this took place the other day.
I made a post on Facebook,
how
(06:04):
you push others to do better
because you know and you want them to
do better.
And I also said
how I help people make money on the
side
without taking too much of their time.
Someone replied.
He asked me how.
(06:25):
And I told him straight up that
it will take some time.
I also told them that the catch
is it may not happen on the 1st
or second or third time.
It could,
but
being realistic,
it probably wouldn't.
(06:45):
I told them that it would probably take
on his 15th,
20th, or 30th time.
But those 30 times
will only take up, let's say,
around 4 to 5 hours.
In those 4 to 5 hours, they could
make almost $1,000
(07:06):
plus.
Now 4 hours
for a $1,000,
that that's not bad.
I asked them to get on the call
with me and, you know, I told them
it's not a sales call.
I just wanted to explain
(07:26):
what it would need
for them to do.
And guess what happened?
I'll give you a second to answer.
If you guess, they'd say no.
You're right. They replied with,
I have to go take a nap or
(07:47):
go sleep. We'll talk later.
The opportunity was there.
They didn't take it.
Opportunity show up to us like this every
day.
Will you take it?
For me, starting this podcast was the signal
(08:11):
I needed
to put out to the universe.
I told the universe,
this is who I am
and what I'm about.
And the universe responded not by giving me
new things,
but by helping me see
what was already there.
(08:34):
The connections,
the resources,
they've always been right in front of me.
It just took focus to realize it.
Let me give you an example. Remember the
movie
field of dreams?
For those of you who have seen it,
if you build it, they will come.
(08:58):
That's the essence of this concept.
It's not about waiting for the universe to
deliver your dream.
It's about starting,
taking that first step,
building something,
and then watching
as the right people and opportunities begin to
(09:19):
show up.
Here's the best part.
It's not about podcast.
This concept
applies to anything you're passionate about.
Thinking of starting a fitness journey,
a blog,
(09:39):
a business.
The moment you start,
you'll see the tools,
connections,
and resources you need.
You also need to keep a positive attitude,
and this doesn't happen by accident.
When you start building something,
(10:00):
the right people and opportunities
naturally gravitate towards you.
You'll find inspiration where you least expect it,
and you'll notice that what you've been searching
for has been there all along,
just waiting for you to look.
Just like when you're searching for your glasses.
(10:23):
You've been holding them the whole time.
Now if this is hitting home for you,
make sure to subscribe
and leave a rating or review.
Share this episode with someone who needs a
little reminder
to focus on their goals.
A simple share
can change someone's mindset.
(10:45):
And who knows?
Maybe even their life.
Let me tell you something funny.
While preparing this episode,
the red car concept hit me again.
It sparked an idea for another podcast.
I won't spoil it, but
(11:07):
it's exciting and speaks to the power of
momentum.
One idea leads to another,
creating this incredible ripple effect.
It's like
opening
one door
and finding a hallway
full of possibilities.
(11:27):
The energy you put into focusing
on your goals
truly multiplies.
Now let's get practical.
How can you use this red card concept
in your life?
You ready?
When you get a moment,
write these down.
(11:48):
Write it down. Number 1,
what's your red car?
Fitness goal,
a career change.
Write it down.
Be
specific.
Number 2.
Set your intention.
Tell yourself, this is what I'm focusing on,
(12:09):
and say it out loud.
Number 3.
Start small.
Take one small action today.
Send an email,
research a class,
research what it's gonna take for you to
get
to what your goal is,
(12:29):
or call someone who inspires you
to hopefully
inspire you.
Number 4,
build your vision board.
Put visual reminders of your goal
where you'll see them daily.
It'll keep you focused.
(12:49):
Number 5,
track your
wins.
Each time you notice something aligning
with your goal, write it down.
It reinforces your focus
and builds momentum.
Remember,
the key
is to start.
(13:11):
Focus
leads to action,
and action
leads to results.
So
what's your red car?
What's that thing you've been dreaming about but
haven't taken action on?
Because
here's the truth.
The opportunities,
(13:33):
the connections,
the ideas,
they're already out there.
The universe is ready.
The question is,
are you?
Whatever you focus on grows,
so why not focus on what you truly
want?
(13:55):
Alright, everyone.

whether it's wealth, health,
and relationships,
we're all just trying to get it one

step at a time.
Vinny,
vidi,
vichi.
I came.
I saw.
I conquered.

day.

I'll catch you next time.
