Welcome to today's episode. This is Dr. John Oda, and I want to share a powerful story with you.
Yesterday, I had a conversation with a wildly successful business owner—someone who’s earned over $30 million. He proudly showed me his latest toy: a Brabus 900 GTS Rocket Edition—a $900,000 supercar. I congratulated him, but then I shifted the focus.
He had just finished reading my book, *Unlimited Business Growth*. He owns two companies: one new tech venture that needed a CEO, and one profitable business that was silently bleeding. I asked him to diagnose the symptoms: Leadership. Culture. Team building. Mental health.
And then, he said something that hit me hard: “Dr. Oda… I feel like Allan Private.” His company was suffering from toxic leadership, victimhood, weak performance, and burnout.
So I asked the question every leader avoids: “What has this cost you?” He admitted he was losing managers, losing respect, and missing revenue goals.
But then came the shocker: he refused to invest in fixing it. And here’s what I told him—
“You’re leasing a $900,000 Brabus Rocket GTS… but you won’t invest a fraction of that into your business? That’s not leadership. That’s low self-esteem masked as confidence. You’re acting like a teenager in business.”
Here’s the truth: ineffective leadership is expensive. It costs companies 29% in productivity, 23% in turnover, and the U.S. loses $500 billion every year to disengaged employees. That’s half a trillion dollars gone.
The Brabus won’t save his business. But leadership will. If he invests for the next five years—like he did in that car—he could build a $100M empire. But if he doesn’t, his business may not survive.
So here’s my challenge to you: Don’t act like a business teenager. Don’t wait until your empire crumbles. Invest in your leadership. Because nothing changes until you do.
This is Dr. John Oda. I’ll see you at the top!

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome to the doctor John Oden Method. We're narrow science
made business mastery. Hello everybody, my name is doctor John Odle.
I'm a best selling international author of three books. I'm
i am the ultimate business growth strategist. In each episode
I reveiled golden nuggets, frameworks and breaks us to help
(00:22):
you uncover hitting a million, decide your business. We focus
on leadership, we focus on breakthrough, we focus on mental barriers.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
So here you goes, guys, today's gonna be really a
special show. Today's show is.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
You can lease a nine hundred thousand dollars supercar, but
you won't invest in your business.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
So guys, listen to me. Thank you guys so much
for joining my show.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
If he gets this in the morning time, even time, nighttime,
thank you for spending some time. Most of the times
these shows with only me, it's gonna be less than
twenty minutes, but one I'll come to give you guys
some tools, some strategies again.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
To your business around. So a little bit history about myself.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
I'm at an honor in pledge of working with some
of the great business minds in the world, from Anthony Robbins,
from Chet Holmes to Jay Abraham and the whole business
mastery a team for about eight years and I've learned
so much. And of course my background is mental health.
For the past thirty eight years, I'm a master training
what they calls neural linguistic programming. I created my own
(01:23):
science called narrow Business conditioning, and that's how I grow
companies and that she explode them.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Right.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Everything is based on NLP though, so I just want
you to know. But the concept is I do a
couple of different things and a couple of different strategies
to work with. All my companies I worked with have
doubled them trip of the business and then his business
growth and including sales training as well. So what we
do is NLP for sales and the one goal and
outcome that is actually grow your business exponentially. So let
(01:50):
me explain you about about the clan right. So I
had a conversation with the clan right and he was
phenomenally successful.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
This guy was rocket and rolling.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
He's the owner of a business probably me between thirty
to fifty million dollars per year. And then he showed
me a photo of a Mercedes I think it's called
the Barbers nine hundred gts rocket addiction. He spent nine
hundred thousand dollars to release the supercar guys. I said,
(02:21):
nine hundred thousand dollars, So a million dollar car, all right?
And I told him, I said, hey man, I'm so
proud of you man. And I told him, amen, job
well done, you know. And then he said that, you know,
I finished within your book for limitsy business girls. He says, man,
that book's phenomenal. I said, really, I said, thank you,
you know. He said, then I own two companies, you know,
(02:42):
ones making about thirty plus. Then he says, I'm working
on one bright new venture for tech company.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
You know.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
He says, you know, I'm gonna probably need He says,
I want to get a I want to get a CEO.
And I said, how much is doing revenues? It's a
startup to Why don't you get a fractional CEO? I said,
you know, I said, I said that what we have
in our business, we have fractionals. They have thirteen different positions.
(03:09):
One of them are CEO COO. I says, it's more affordable.
You can, you know, get them more affordable. You have
to pay for the stocks and the turns of anything else.
The gent them have forty five years experience, you can
come on in and make a huge impact inside your business.
And he said, you know, Jow, that's something to think about.
And then asking him says what part of the book
(03:31):
did you like? And I was curious, Right, he says,
I like the symptoms because he said that really related
to me. I said, okay, So the symptoms of the
book is we focus on four areas of the symptoms leadership.
What's your leadership style because that affects your company most people.
If you don't have to have bad is leadership, you
have really bad business. Culture of the business. We use
(03:53):
the same philosophy as Salesforce called ohonaway right. And one
of the guys, he's a teacher named doctor Conway, author
of sixty five books Jesus sixty five books. He's a pastor,
he's a JD and he's a grand master in marsh
(04:16):
Arts Kempo couple of jujitsu and jiu jitsu. So he's
an interesting guy but really really congru into what he does.
We also focused on team building. If you don't have
a strong team, you're not gonna have a business. We're
also working on mental health. You know, we all are
my team. We have about one hundred fifty years of
mental health. We work on mentalths and we also work
(04:37):
on addictions, addictions.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Of food, alcohol and drugs. Right, So then the guy said,
you know, man, I feel like Alvin Private. So let
me explain you.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
In my book, I have a character called Alan Private.
He came from my first book, connecting What's your Team?
About twenty years ago. He didn't work on some issues.
Now and he's fifty years old and he's a billionaire.
But what Alan did in his book, he went from
a billionaire because he had bad toxic culture and he
became homeless.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Well then he went from homeless being a sex tillion.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
I know there's no such stands a sex tillion, but
that's one with twenty one zeros. Right, and then he
writes about his what he did to actually make that happen.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
You know.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
So he says, you know, I feel like I'm out
in prict I said, well, I said, you know why
is that? He said, man, I'm Struggling's the same team.
I got toxic leadership culture. You have like a victim
of hood mentality. We have weak team work, team as performance,
and we have a widespread, a burnout. He says, we
have people who doing addiction. He says, it's a hot
(05:41):
mess in my in my company. I said, well, you know,
I said, you know, for being a hot mess, he's
still doing extremely well. He said, yeah, we are. But
he said, we can do so much more. I said,
how much more do you think of that you can do?
If you had to write systems and place and everything else? Man,
he said, uh, worried about one hundred million? I said, okay,
all right, So and then I asked him some more questions.
So I said, what does this cost you, you know,
(06:04):
to have all these issues right? And and he says, well,
I go through managers like water. I said, what do
you mean? He says, man never threw. Every couple of
months after had a new manager, they blow out, or
they get mad, They get pissed at the leadership or
the environment of the coach.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
He says, I can't keep a I can't keep a
good manager. Okay.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
And then he says I lost respect of my original team.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I said okay.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
And then he says I should have doubled and tripled
my red moved by now. But I did it, you know,
And I said this I said this to me man,
I said, Man, stuff happens. Man, But the counciltens. I said,
at least you know about it. I said, at least
we can do something about it. He said yeah no.
But then guys, here was a shocker that came in.
(06:49):
So here's a shocker of that came in.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
And then he said it.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
You know, I don't think I want to invest any
money in my business.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
I can figure it out. And when he said that,
I'm like wow. I said it.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
So you're least in the car for nine hundred thousand dollars,
but you won't you but you won't invest in fraction
into the business.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
So you can double your business and triple your business,
I said it.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
And I said right now, And you're operating on a little
s selfles sing mass with confidence. It says, then you're
acting like a teenager. So in the book we have
U the uh uh the life cycles. Could you imagine
a sixteen year old kid with a million dollars, Well,
this is how this guy behavior is. I can do
it myself. I can figure out a way. But with
(07:41):
Alan and private he lost everything. Now you don't wanna
go through losing everything to be truly honest with you.
Mentally you can, but not physically right. And I and
I was, and I was completely shocked and really surprised,
you know. And then that says on your leadership style,
there's three types of leader. We have a effective, we
have neutral, and we have destructive. Effective leaders fuel the company.
(08:07):
Neutral leaders don't make it better, they're they don't make
it worse, and destructives are a little of bibblehead. I said,
at at this point, if you're an effective leader, you
would invest inside your team, invest inside yourself, and and
that you would be fine with spend money because it's
gonna be assets that of that's gonna appreciate your business.
(08:29):
You're more of like a destructive slash neutral leader.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
What's in the long run. Your company's on the film
and it's gonna fail a bit, you know.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
And then I said, you know, I said, my biggest
thing about it is this, right, if you invest in
in your business, if in the next five years, just
like you do in that car, that's gonna depreciate like hell,
you're gonna make about a hundred plus million dollars.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
And now you you're gonna create.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
A a legacy culture freedom. But you may not have
your business in five years. So I got a question
for you guys, right, for the business owners.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
You wanna grow your business.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
You talking to a coach and you feel like the
coach can grow your business, but then you say you
can do it yourself. This reminds me of this remind
me of the story. Right, I guess have you guys
ever read a book called Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon?
Now I know you have, you're a business owner, and
if not read it.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
So and Thinking Grow Rich?
Speaker 1 (09:42):
They had this guy named Darby, right, and Darby was
trying to find gold. He talked to his family member
and friends. He got gold man, he got money, he
got borrowed money from people, and he went out on
I think it was Denver, but I'm not mistaken, right,
and went there and he started digging, and man, this
guy was finding gold e reware man, and he was
pumped up and excited, paying back his family and friends
(10:04):
a whole nine yards. But one day what happened was
the the gold vein went dry and he couldn't find it.
And he was digging, dig and digging, wasting more money, digging,
dig and digging.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
He got frustrated and pissed off us.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
All some of us do, right, and when we're in business, right,
we get frustrated, we get pissed off, and we don't want.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
To do anything.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
So what happened was he sort it to a junk man,
but five hundred bucks. But I don't consider this being
a drunk man. What I considered this guy's being an expert.
What he did was he bought it for five hundred
dollars back in the day. That's that's huge money. But
five hundred bucks he got it for, right. And then
what he did, guys, he got an expert. And I
(10:48):
think the expert was for you know, minings and everything else,
and just said, I give you smart enough, you get
an expert like doctor John Oda.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Right.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
But he got an expert, and he was three feet
from gold. And when they found the gold, it was
the richest gold ever, the richest line ever. And the
guy said, man, it was three feet But the the
the the challenges to U was he didn't get expert advice.
And I and I really believe that a lot of
people right when they're in business, they don't get expert advice.
(11:16):
They got a passion, uh and a conviction for their business.
But they don't know how to run the business. It's
what they think about. They think that they can do it.
And and but here's then about it. I told this
one guy says, yeah, you putting all this money in it.
If your business do don't fulfill your the destiny, who's
(11:38):
that gonna affect your wife, your kids?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
This isn't worth it. I said, just get expert advice.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
When you get expert advice everything when I should change.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
But Derby didn't stop there. I'm'a tell you another story
about Derby.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Derby didn't. He didn't stop there. Right, Derby starts telling
insurance right, and he was kicking but an insurance. He said,
he's not gonna stop three feet from gold. But then
when Darby said it of me, you know, it was
back in slavery days, seventeen hundred, R read around slavery
days and stuff, right, And this little black girl said.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
My mama went fifty cents. And he looked at her.
My mama went fifty cents. He said, go inside that
the house girl, Go in the house girl.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
And then you know, and this and this, and his
nephew was watching him, said that Derby had a really
bad temper, terrible temper, right, And he said, my mama
want fifty cents, and and he'd move she and and
she stayed there, defying, and he would start doing the
hey doing the hay look back, and she was.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
There standing there just defying. See I'm not leaving, and
the and what she was saying.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
And then he said go back in that house before
I whip you.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
And she said all yes, sir, yes sir, and didn't move,
defian sea again. Then what happened.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Derby looked at her, reached in his pockets and as
much you said, he sells, and then it thought he's
gonna beat her up, and gave her the fifty cents.
And Darby said, after that, when I saw that fifty cents,
when I gave it to her, he said, I was
whipped by this black girl. But she made me realize
(13:18):
that I can't when I hear a no or when
I don't wanna do anything. I see her as defiancy,
he says. And after that he said, he sold ten more,
ten times more life insurance.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
The reason why I'm.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Telling you guys the stories, and you guys are in
business and a lot of you guys, you know, going
to purchase of a big old house, a big old car,
or the big X.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Y and G. He got the fancy stuff.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
But the fancy stuff is not gonna last if you
don't have a business to sustain it and make it grow.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
So let me get down poor leadership expensiens.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Right, Companies with ineffective leaderships suffered twenty nine percent drop
and productivity. Wow, there also see a twenty three spike
of employee turnover. Like he said, he's switching managers all
the time. And the US businesses lose over five hundred
(14:14):
billion annually do to employ the disengagement. Now, that's with
poor leadership. And of course you know this guy had
poor leadership something first. Right, But here's what I told him, right,
And here's what I tell you guys to us said,
there's my moral obligation to help you grow. But if not,
(14:37):
I'm not. If I'm not the right fit, find someone
those who's gonna help you and your family live a
phenomenal life. But I said, but just don't stay stuck.
Don't act like a business teenager. Don't wait for your
empire to crumble before you invest inside yourself. No, the
(15:01):
Mercedes is nice, but it won't save your business, but
becoming a stronger leader.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Well, here goes guys.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
As you guys realize, I I do this for a
little but been doing this for years. And what I'm
doing right now and is what we call is a
six hour assessment. And let me explain you that this
six hour assessment is phenomenal. It's based on the BSSM model.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Right.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
I used to work mental health, of course, and we
had the DSM four when I was working. I think
now it's maybe DSM five, but that would diagnose pretty
much some of the mental health issues. My thing is
the BSSM is really to scale and and to grow
your business. That's how I've grown companies from you know,
three thousand, fifteen hundred percent, three thousand percent and five years.
(15:45):
I mean, so I've I've grown businesses. And of course
when I say grow business, that means sales, marketing, the
whole nine nine so literally everything and what we focus
on is profit stations to grow your companies.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
So what we have is we have two different pro is.
I is assessments one sales and marketing.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
And we can try you how to make between hack
a half million to a couple of million dollars, you know,
from a half million to about four million.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
And then we have another one.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
That's have an assessment with the symptoms on it, and
we will look at a lot of symptoms inside your
business from the life cycle of your business. Where are
you at, where you at mentally, where you at and
with your business. We have some guy talked to a
couple of days ago. He was he was a maturity level.
He's actually just two years old and nice guy, but
his business just started off and he was more than
(16:31):
terrible twos so he had hey, he had an identity issue,
so we had to work with them accordingly to.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Make him grow his business. Right.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
No, So my biggest goal that I have is so
we focus in the life cycle of a business. Then
we focus on the symptoms of your business. Right the
symptoms we talk about the earlier I do it again leadership.
What type of leadership if it is, are you effective,
of you neutral or you destructive? And we'll work on
the show which type of leaders are you so we
can actually, you know, help you get to that next level.
(17:02):
Not only twenty percent of people are effective leaders. Just
want your hedge up on that one. And we focus
on the culture of your business. We focus on ohanaway
and then from there we focus on team building and
mental health, what's going on with the burnout and we
go from stress to success or we'll focus on the
addiction part. Right, so we focus on other different strategies.
(17:25):
And then the last but not least, we talk about
cost optimization. A lot of people are losing a lot
of money because they don't optimize their costs. They have
the same venud for ten thousand years and they're raking them.
So we renegotiate everything for you get more of a
discount price and you gottas save crazy is is on
your net profit right.
Speaker 2 (17:44):

special show. Today's show is.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
You can lease a nine hundred thousand dollars supercar, but
you won't invest in your business.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
So guys, listen to me. Thank you guys so much
for joining my show.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
If he gets this in the morning time, even time, nighttime,
thank you for spending some time. Most of the times
these shows with only me, it's gonna be less than
twenty minutes, but one I'll come to give you guys
some tools, some strategies again.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
To your business around. So a little bit history about myself.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
I'm at an honor in pledge of working with some
of the great business minds in the world, from Anthony Robbins,
from Chet Holmes to Jay Abraham and the whole business
mastery a team for about eight years and I've learned
so much. And of course my background is mental health.
For the past thirty eight years, I'm a master training
what they calls neural linguistic programming. I created my own
(01:23):
science called narrow Business conditioning, and that's how I grow
companies and that she explode them.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Right.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Everything is based on NLP though, so I just want
you to know. But the concept is I do a
couple of different things and a couple of different strategies
to work with. All my companies I worked with have
doubled them trip of the business and then his business
growth and including sales training as well. So what we
do is NLP for sales and the one goal and
outcome that is actually grow your business exponentially. So let
(01:50):
me explain you about about the clan right. So I
had a conversation with the clan right and he was
phenomenally successful.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
This guy was rocket and rolling.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
He's the owner of a business probably me between thirty
to fifty million dollars per year. And then he showed
me a photo of a Mercedes I think it's called
the Barbers nine hundred gts rocket addiction. He spent nine
hundred thousand dollars to release the supercar guys. I said,
(02:21):
nine hundred thousand dollars, So a million dollar car, all right?
And I told him, I said, hey man, I'm so
proud of you man. And I told him, amen, job
well done, you know. And then he said that, you know,
I finished within your book for limitsy business girls. He says, man,
that book's phenomenal. I said, really, I said, thank you,
you know. He said, then I own two companies, you know,
(02:42):
ones making about thirty plus. Then he says, I'm working
on one bright new venture for tech company.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
You know.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
He says, you know, I'm gonna probably need He says,
I want to get a I want to get a CEO.
And I said, how much is doing revenues? It's a
startup to Why don't you get a fractional CEO? I said,
you know, I said, I said that what we have
in our business, we have fractionals. They have thirteen different positions.
(03:09):
One of them are CEO COO. I says, it's more affordable.
You can, you know, get them more affordable. You have
to pay for the stocks and the turns of anything else.
The gent them have forty five years experience, you can
come on in and make a huge impact inside your business.
And he said, you know, Jow, that's something to think about.
And then asking him says what part of the book
(03:31):
did you like? And I was curious, Right, he says,
I like the symptoms because he said that really related
to me. I said, okay, So the symptoms of the
book is we focus on four areas of the symptoms leadership.
What's your leadership style because that affects your company most people.
If you don't have to have bad is leadership, you
have really bad business. Culture of the business. We use
(03:53):
the same philosophy as Salesforce called ohonaway right. And one
of the guys, he's a teacher named doctor Conway, author
of sixty five books Jesus sixty five books. He's a pastor,
he's a JD and he's a grand master in marsh
(04:16):
Arts Kempo couple of jujitsu and jiu jitsu. So he's
an interesting guy but really really congru into what he does.
We also focused on team building. If you don't have
a strong team, you're not gonna have a business. We're
also working on mental health. You know, we all are
my team. We have about one hundred fifty years of
mental health. We work on mentalths and we also work
(04:37):
on addictions, addictions.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Of food, alcohol and drugs. Right, So then the guy said,
you know, man, I feel like Alvin Private. So let
me explain you.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
In my book, I have a character called Alan Private.
He came from my first book, connecting What's your Team?
About twenty years ago. He didn't work on some issues.
Now and he's fifty years old and he's a billionaire.
But what Alan did in his book, he went from
a billionaire because he had bad toxic culture and he
became homeless.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Well then he went from homeless being a sex tillion.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
I know there's no such stands a sex tillion, but
that's one with twenty one zeros. Right, and then he
writes about his what he did to actually make that happen.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
You know.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
So he says, you know, I feel like I'm out
in prict I said, well, I said, you know why
is that? He said, man, I'm Struggling's the same team.
I got toxic leadership culture. You have like a victim
of hood mentality. We have weak team work, team as performance,
and we have a widespread, a burnout. He says, we
have people who doing addiction. He says, it's a hot
(05:41):
mess in my in my company. I said, well, you know,
I said, you know, for being a hot mess, he's
still doing extremely well. He said, yeah, we are. But
he said, we can do so much more. I said,
how much more do you think of that you can do?
If you had to write systems and place and everything else? Man,
he said, uh, worried about one hundred million? I said, okay,
all right, So and then I asked him some more questions.
So I said, what does this cost you, you know,
(06:04):
to have all these issues right? And and he says, well,
I go through managers like water. I said, what do
you mean? He says, man never threw. Every couple of
months after had a new manager, they blow out, or
they get mad, They get pissed at the leadership or
the environment of the coach.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
He says, I can't keep a I can't keep a
good manager. Okay.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
And then he says I lost respect of my original team.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I said okay.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
And then he says I should have doubled and tripled
my red moved by now. But I did it, you know,
And I said this I said this to me man,
I said, Man, stuff happens. Man, But the counciltens. I said,
at least you know about it. I said, at least
we can do something about it. He said yeah no.
But then guys, here was a shocker that came in.
(06:49):
So here's a shocker of that came in.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
And then he said it.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
You know, I don't think I want to invest any
money in my business.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
I can figure it out. And when he said that,
I'm like wow. I said it.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
So you're least in the car for nine hundred thousand dollars,
but you won't you but you won't invest in fraction
into the business.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
So you can double your business and triple your business,
I said it.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
And I said right now, And you're operating on a little
s selfles sing mass with confidence. It says, then you're
acting like a teenager. So in the book we have
U the uh uh the life cycles. Could you imagine
a sixteen year old kid with a million dollars, Well,
this is how this guy behavior is. I can do
it myself. I can figure out a way. But with
(07:41):
Alan and private he lost everything. Now you don't wanna
go through losing everything to be truly honest with you.
Mentally you can, but not physically right. And I and
I was, and I was completely shocked and really surprised,
you know. And then that says on your leadership style,
there's three types of leader. We have a effective, we
have neutral, and we have destructive. Effective leaders fuel the company.
(08:07):
Neutral leaders don't make it better, they're they don't make
it worse, and destructives are a little of bibblehead. I said,
at at this point, if you're an effective leader, you
would invest inside your team, invest inside yourself, and and
that you would be fine with spend money because it's
gonna be assets that of that's gonna appreciate your business.
(08:29):
You're more of like a destructive slash neutral leader.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
What's in the long run. Your company's on the film
and it's gonna fail a bit, you know.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
And then I said, you know, I said, my biggest
thing about it is this, right, if you invest in
in your business, if in the next five years, just
like you do in that car, that's gonna depreciate like hell,
you're gonna make about a hundred plus million dollars.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
And now you you're gonna create.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
A a legacy culture freedom. But you may not have
your business in five years. So I got a question
for you guys, right, for the business owners.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
You wanna grow your business.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
You talking to a coach and you feel like the
coach can grow your business, but then you say you
can do it yourself. This reminds me of this remind
me of the story. Right, I guess have you guys
ever read a book called Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon?
Now I know you have, you're a business owner, and
if not read it.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
So and Thinking Grow Rich?
Speaker 1 (09:42):
They had this guy named Darby, right, and Darby was
trying to find gold. He talked to his family member
and friends. He got gold man, he got money, he
got borrowed money from people, and he went out on
I think it was Denver, but I'm not mistaken, right,
and went there and he started digging, and man, this
guy was finding gold e reware man, and he was
pumped up and excited, paying back his family and friends
(10:04):
a whole nine yards. But one day what happened was
the the gold vein went dry and he couldn't find it.
And he was digging, dig and digging, wasting more money, digging,
dig and digging.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
He got frustrated and pissed off us.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
All some of us do, right, and when we're in business, right,
we get frustrated, we get pissed off, and we don't want.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
To do anything.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
So what happened was he sort it to a junk man,
but five hundred bucks. But I don't consider this being
a drunk man. What I considered this guy's being an expert.
What he did was he bought it for five hundred
dollars back in the day. That's that's huge money. But
five hundred bucks he got it for, right. And then
what he did, guys, he got an expert. And I
(10:48):
think the expert was for you know, minings and everything else,
and just said, I give you smart enough, you get
an expert like doctor John Oda.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Right.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
But he got an expert, and he was three feet
from gold. And when they found the gold, it was
the richest gold ever, the richest line ever. And the
guy said, man, it was three feet But the the
the the challenges to U was he didn't get expert advice.
And I and I really believe that a lot of
people right when they're in business, they don't get expert advice.
(11:16):
They got a passion, uh and a conviction for their business.
But they don't know how to run the business. It's
what they think about. They think that they can do it.
And and but here's then about it. I told this
one guy says, yeah, you putting all this money in it.
If your business do don't fulfill your the destiny, who's
(11:38):
that gonna affect your wife, your kids?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
This isn't worth it. I said, just get expert advice.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
When you get expert advice everything when I should change.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
But Derby didn't stop there. I'm'a tell you another story
about Derby.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Derby didn't. He didn't stop there. Right, Derby starts telling
insurance right, and he was kicking but an insurance. He said,
he's not gonna stop three feet from gold. But then
when Darby said it of me, you know, it was
back in slavery days, seventeen hundred, R read around slavery
days and stuff, right, And this little black girl said.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
My mama went fifty cents. And he looked at her.
My mama went fifty cents. He said, go inside that
the house girl, Go in the house girl.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
And then you know, and this and this, and his
nephew was watching him, said that Derby had a really
bad temper, terrible temper, right, And he said, my mama
want fifty cents, and and he'd move she and and
she stayed there, defying, and he would start doing the
hey doing the hay look back, and she was.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
There standing there just defying. See I'm not leaving, and
the and what she was saying.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
And then he said go back in that house before
I whip you.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
And she said all yes, sir, yes sir, and didn't move,
defian sea again. Then what happened.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Derby looked at her, reached in his pockets and as
much you said, he sells, and then it thought he's
gonna beat her up, and gave her the fifty cents.
And Darby said, after that, when I saw that fifty cents,
when I gave it to her, he said, I was
whipped by this black girl. But she made me realize
(13:18):
that I can't when I hear a no or when
I don't wanna do anything. I see her as defiancy,
he says. And after that he said, he sold ten more,
ten times more life insurance.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
The reason why I'm.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Telling you guys the stories, and you guys are in
business and a lot of you guys, you know, going
to purchase of a big old house, a big old car,
or the big X.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Y and G. He got the fancy stuff.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
But the fancy stuff is not gonna last if you
don't have a business to sustain it and make it grow.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
So let me get down poor leadership expensiens.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Right, Companies with ineffective leaderships suffered twenty nine percent drop
and productivity. Wow, there also see a twenty three spike
of employee turnover. Like he said, he's switching managers all
the time. And the US businesses lose over five hundred
(14:14):
billion annually do to employ the disengagement. Now, that's with
poor leadership. And of course you know this guy had
poor leadership something first. Right, But here's what I told him, right,
And here's what I tell you guys to us said,
there's my moral obligation to help you grow. But if not,
(14:37):
I'm not. If I'm not the right fit, find someone
those who's gonna help you and your family live a
phenomenal life. But I said, but just don't stay stuck.
Don't act like a business teenager. Don't wait for your
empire to crumble before you invest inside yourself. No, the
(15:01):
Mercedes is nice, but it won't save your business, but
becoming a stronger leader.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Well, here goes guys.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
As you guys realize, I I do this for a
little but been doing this for years. And what I'm
doing right now and is what we call is a
six hour assessment. And let me explain you that this
six hour assessment is phenomenal. It's based on the BSSM model.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Right.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
I used to work mental health, of course, and we
had the DSM four when I was working. I think
now it's maybe DSM five, but that would diagnose pretty
much some of the mental health issues. My thing is
the BSSM is really to scale and and to grow
your business. That's how I've grown companies from you know,
three thousand, fifteen hundred percent, three thousand percent and five years.
(15:45):
I mean, so I've I've grown businesses. And of course
when I say grow business, that means sales, marketing, the
whole nine nine so literally everything and what we focus
on is profit stations to grow your companies.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
So what we have is we have two different pro is.
I is assessments one sales and marketing.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
And we can try you how to make between hack
a half million to a couple of million dollars, you know,
from a half million to about four million.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
And then we have another one.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
That's have an assessment with the symptoms on it, and
we will look at a lot of symptoms inside your
business from the life cycle of your business. Where are
you at, where you at mentally, where you at and
with your business. We have some guy talked to a
couple of days ago. He was he was a maturity level.
He's actually just two years old and nice guy, but
his business just started off and he was more than
(16:31):
terrible twos so he had hey, he had an identity issue,
so we had to work with them accordingly to.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Make him grow his business. Right.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
No, So my biggest goal that I have is so
we focus in the life cycle of a business. Then
we focus on the symptoms of your business. Right the
symptoms we talk about the earlier I do it again leadership.
What type of leadership if it is, are you effective,
of you neutral or you destructive? And we'll work on
the show which type of leaders are you so we
can actually, you know, help you get to that next level.
(17:02):
Not only twenty percent of people are effective leaders. Just
want your hedge up on that one. And we focus
on the culture of your business. We focus on ohanaway
and then from there we focus on team building and
mental health, what's going on with the burnout and we
go from stress to success or we'll focus on the
addiction part. Right, so we focus on other different strategies.
(17:25):
And then the last but not least, we talk about
cost optimization. A lot of people are losing a lot
of money because they don't optimize their costs. They have
the same venud for ten thousand years and they're raking them.
So we renegotiate everything for you get more of a
discount price and you gottas save crazy is is on
your net profit right.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
