good morning believe nation today’s
message is ah right you see it’s been a
while it’s my turn right good morning
believe nation today’s message is
examine where you are over to you tom
hanks awake TV go in the beginning I was
just thrilled to know that someone was
asking me to be in a movie and I thought
that was all that was required and as
long as they keep asking everything
everything will fall fall into place
mm-hmm and I think I had to become
dissatisfied with my own process you
know five or six movies in where I was
feeling that that I was not I was not
bringing was not bringing to the work
anything other than that anything other
than that instinct and that’s when I
realized that you know okay I’m part of
me got older and I think even if you’re
as old as 29 you you have a different
set of Hopsin and perspective you have a
different believe it or not wisdom that
you did when you were 24 and I think
about every five years I went through
some sort of process of reexamining
where I was in life you know as a man as
well as an actor and thinking like guess
what I’m 36 now and there’s a whole
world of movies that I can’t make it
anymore because I can no longer I don’t
want to play the young man who’s trying
to figure out life I want to play a man
of bitter compromise I want to play
somebody who’s who’s been through
something so it’s a never-ending process
I think of examining where you are in
life as a human being and then
transposing that so it’s going to be
reflected in your work somehow so what
do you think the only thing I could give
example is my own life I was looking to
be a wait how old are you 29 I’m 29 he
talked about 29 that’s a good choice and
it’s my career change came at about two
about a year and a half no two years ago
or so I wanted to be a cop so I was
working as a security guard to gain some
experience and I did it for about a year
and a half
just a nightlife working on the weekends
missing out on all the salsa parties out
me not being able to see my friends
always in jet lag so I did the swing
shift which meant that I would do two
days in two overnights constantly so
every day was jet lag for me I’d only
get like four hours sleeping and I wake
up anxious or uncomfortable gain a lot
of weight and just it was not a great
experience for me so I had to
re-evaluate my priority which was hard
because I was working two years to be a
cop already at that point a lot of
investing into that doing tests and
physicals and all that kind of stuff my
resume getting everything ready I looked
at where I wanted to be in five or ten
years and i wanted i knew i wanted a
family I you that I wanted to have kids
to be there for them on the weekends and
make sure it was just a regular schedule
nine to five just some extent right so I
did a whole career change their started
from scratch went into sales and then
reevaluating myself an opportunity came
with tds and then I looked at myself and
what really makes me happy and and then
took another plunge so um I honestly
don’t know where he’ll be in five years
I knew in all these jobs I knew what was
important to me so it was sort of my
compass there is always room to change
direction and you know the the fear of
I’ve invested this amount of money or
this amount of studying or whatever it
is right into this I can’t quit that’s
not true if you feel that is really not
right for you that it’s not going to
make you happy in the long term then
reevaluate and look for your passions I
like it so for context I hired Alex like
I had hunted him away from a job that he
had to run TDs so the hardcore fans know
who he is a new people I go who’s this
guy so you know there you go I think for
me people make the mistake of not
continuing to change the things that
they’re working on as they grow as a
human being and you see it a lot with
entrepreneurs will though start a
business and to be really excited by it
and then their own interests and
passions will change but their business
doesn’t change with them and then going
to work becomes work it becomes a job
becomes less interesting the thing that
you were all excited about leaving
you’re working for the man to start your
own company by now now you’re working
for the man again you booked yourself in
and
burners hate being boxed in it’s one of
the biggest mistakes it as you grow as a
human being because you’re going to grow
like you know Alex is 29 Tom Hanks talks
about being 29 you compare yourself to
where you were five years ago or 10
years ago your interests have change
you’ve grown you’ve matured you’ve
learned new things maybe you don’t want
to be out partying as much or like
whatever like your interests have
changed and so that has to be reflected
in the work that you do otherwise you’ll
stop being creative and you’ll start
hating your job or hating your business
and so I think instead of only waiting
until you’re super frustrated and
waiting to like I can’t stand this thing
anymore five years later you’ve been
doing it already doing it for two or
three years that like it’s absolute hell
and then only to the point where like I
can’t take anymore I’m going to quit
where a lot of people get that with
their jobs or business constantly
evaluating constantly trying new things
constantly trying to evolve the work
that you’re doing to be reflection of
you where my business is always in a
reflection of what I’m interested in
even the YouTube channel it’s only been
around for five or six years and
forgiving go back the content that I’ve
talked about has changed over the years
a message is still the same about
believe and trying to help inspire
entrepreneurs but how I executed it has
chained like the top 10 series is a
relatively new thing that didn’t exist
on the channel multiple years ago I
still like it i’m still learning from it
if i stop liking the top tens and doing
the work then i’ll stop putting them out
there we won’t have them anymore on the
channel but i’ll be evolving into
something new and that’s part of the
drive is I like being creative and you
guys like being creative as well and if
you can’t be creative anymore because
you know the the success you’ve had is
now changed to prevent you from going
forward then that’s where you start to
struggle you have to get bored here look
for other things and so I would just
encourage you to do that constantly the
constant think about how you can make
things better if you have a creative
idea find a small way to get started on
it and not get to the point where you
hate your life and you hate your
business and you hate your job and then
you’re forced to make a change I we
don’t normally do this I’m gonna throw
out something different I want to ask
you something maybe the viewers will be
interested in too I like when you say
that you know you
I need to constant value it yourself are
there certain things you can pay
attention to in your life that you think
are sort of signs that you should be
evaluating it would be hard for me to
every morning to wake up and and every
morning reassess because then you’re not
really giving opportunity for the things
you were trying that are new to really
grow to fruition rightly so did they say
about fitness right you should give it a
certain amount of time to do a certain
for this program see if it’s actually
working so is there any advice you can
give or something that they can that
people can work like a sort of a
lighthouse right in that and mist and
fog what do you look for like the
lighthouse in the fog yeah two things
one is on the negative side was on the
positive side the negative is if I find
myself doing something that I hate doing
constantly I need to find a way to
change it either I need to stop doing it
completely or I need to give it to
somebody else to do like is it important
enough to my business that it has to
happen if so low and bring on somebody
who likes that work and I’m gonna stop
doing it so for tds booking the meetings
you know managing my calendar I was I
was bad at it wasn’t happening I wasn’t
going to the classes I wasn’t meeting
with as many people as I needed to and
and it was important for the business
that happened and so I gave it to my
assistant who manages all of my Evan
Carmichael stuff I also gave her now my
Toronto dance also stuff and it’s great
like it’s in my calendar I get said
heard the rules it’s happening now but I
didn’t want to do it myself and every
time I looked at it it just I just
didn’t want to do it but it had to get
done sometimes I’ll just drop projects
because I look at the work like I don’t
want to do that work that sucks I don’t
want to do that and so I drop it and I
it may be something that is profitable
that you can give to somebody else to
run or maybe it’s not profitable and
then you just drop and move on to
something else like the sunk cost idea
of hey I’ve invested all this time and
money into becoming a cop and as you
know what I don’t like this anymore I’m
going to drop and move on every time I’m
feeling like I hate this work that I’m
doing even if it’s even if it’s a like a
10 minutes pain in the day that’s
consistently happening then I I will
find ways to eliminate that the other
side is a positive where I want to do
something I’m excited by something I
have this idea to test something and you
know I try
he gets to live with it I have crazy
ideas and I want to go and try and
sometimes they work and sometimes they
don’t and more often than not it’s
usually pretty good but sometimes they
don’t work but I when I get an idea that
I want to try I go out and I just start
doing it I find a way to make it happen
even on a small scale to see if I like
it if I’m excited by it but if it makes
me come alive if I want to keep doing it
I would default to taking the risk and
trying versus taking the safe path in
example tds we just changed our floors
and we brought in these new floors that
I would I would never have picked these
floors or way brighter than I thought I
wanted a dark wood and these are way
brighter than I ever would have thought
I ever would have picked I look this
Tampa but i can’t i can’t pick this this
is this is ugly like I would never
picked it and then I walked into a store
and I saw it on the floor like whoa man
that’s a nice-looking floor I gotta get
that floor and then we went and I
brought Alex and and who else am I was
nina my sister and another instructor
and we had them dance on the floor and
is all of the all the rest cause really
different than what we have and I was
gonna work and all of it and seemed the
same thing is going through my head to
like it’s very different than what we
have it may not work but I remember the
feeling of loving it when I walked in
that’s the only floor that I walked in
up any of the places that we visited and
I loved it and so you know what I have
to do it even if it’s a fail even if we
hit believe the RIP of the floor and
that’s like a you know five six thousand
dollar mistake that I made I’ve got to
do it I have to do it I have to do it
and so when I get those creative ideas I
just start taking immediate action on
even though it may not make sense for
the people around me as sometimes you
witness and experience so both of those
like that’s the constant evaluation
there’s something you’re doing that you
don’t like then find a way to stop doing
it whether delegating it or just
stopping it and if there’s something
that you want to start doing then find
the way to start doing it consistently
even like taking you away from your job
was a risk right like there were safer
options that I could have gone with for
the skill set that we needed for the
like admin work to run the school which
wasn’t something
you’re like the best at yeah but I
didn’t want just an admin person I
wanted somebody who would grow and build
the company so Alex was a risk like we
had a lot of conversations till late at
night and and I needed to least know
that I gave my best effort to make it
work and if you said no whatever awesome
move on to someone else but you said yes
it might have sunk the company it didn’t
it didn’t what we’re doing it but like
that wrist like that knowing I don’t
want to take always a safe path that is
something that I’m curious about I have
to figure out a way to at least try to
make it happen at the risk of losing
something because I don’t want to always
just play the safe path and then wonder
what if like what if I talked to Alex
and what if i gave him this or what if
right and i’m stuck with somebody who’s
just doing an okay job so that’s it no
awesome thank you so the question today
today is are you find that you need to
revalue self and if so where you add
right now leave in the comments below we
will join in the discussion finally want
