sick I can’t work I don’t feel good I
don’t go to the office lost have a loved
one your diet it’s chaotic as the way
you handle yourself your energy is low
you’re injuring you broke something your
voice my voice how long ago was it when
my voice what happened to this was your
your and a half ago two years ago all of
a sudden my voice was gone so I go to
the doctor we’re going ever I just can’t
do videos if you go back and watch some
of my old videos you’ll hear my voice is
completely gone so I couldn’t project
and my business’s voice right and we
went to the doctor multiple doctors and
they say this could be cancer this could
be cancer this could be cancer and then
all of a sudden had to do surgery my
voice was gone purely for a month one
month they had no voice and we found out
the good news was it was benign and it’s
right before Thanksgiving when the
surgery was done this is the first time
ever in my life and Thanksgiving we’re
having dinner I can’t say anything to
anybody I mean maybe it was God’s we
have seen you to be quiet for about a
month but the point being it was chaotic
so that’s hell then you have business
your your chaos could be what vendor you
don’t hit a deadline it’s chaotic you
have a deadline it’s coming up this
Friday we have to deliver a client
doesn’t like you there was a
confrontation one of your agents or rep
or an employee didn’t treat a client
well staff confrontation some staff
wants a raise you can’t give it to him
you don’t want to give it to them you
know there’s problems there too
staff members and work it together a
business partner doesn’t do as much as
you want them to do you feel like you do
more than they do technology is not
going well your IT guys are not doing
their part behind the scenes they’re
working slow it keeps giving you too
many glitches there’s complaints you
launch it’s not good launch
that’s chaotic then you have your sales
guys are not hitting their numbers goals
are not being hit your investor is doing
too many conference call on you’re
hitting your number so what’s going on
with this too much pressure and it’s not
from a different point of view you’re
financing the market conditions are bad
economic conditions are bad you having a
lot of problems with that you have
competition is giving you a hard time
your reputation online reputation
you got your regulations new laws you
have a lawsuit all that stuff’s taking
place that is all chaotic this is going
to happen when you’re running the
business it’s all chaotic so what can we
do about this by the way most of the
time the way you handle these three will
automatically affect this if you don’t
know how to handle these three this is
always going to take a hit because one
of these things are always going to
happen our lives no matter what we do so
how do we make sure we handle this to
make sure we’re leading this can it
really be done of course it can many
have done it so let’s talk about three
types of ways people handle chaos hang
on let’s talk about three types of ways
people handle chaos so first one is
first one is amateurs amateurs tend to
overlap all day long cut the video all
day freakin long we asked you to do one
thing right you can’t even move nothing
it doesn’t matter we’re doing a damn
video over here man what the cut the
damn video all day long he does this
that’s called overreacting that’s what
you don’t do right so we wanted to get
your intention you get the idea there
are people Mario we love you Mario come
back your buddy okay amateurs tend to
overreact amateurs tend to over react um
back to me got your attention they
overreact some like that happens in
their business all day long they’re
overreacting to the issue they panic
they quit
that’s what amateurs do amateurs do that
right that was just the behavior of an
amateur next intermediate they give the
chaos too much attention it doesn’t need
that much attention meaning it’s not as
big as they think it is they slow down
they use it as an alibi to get in the
way of getting to the next level let me
explain to what I mean by this
intermediate so a lot of times believe
it or not people like to create chaos in
their lives here’s why if they create
chaos in their lives they can always use
that as an alibi why this is why I could
never make it as an entrepreneur it
gives them an out it gives them a reason
to talk amongst their peers and say the
reason why didn’t make it as a real
estate agent is because of X Y Z the
reason why to make it as an insurance is
because if expert the reason why could
make it as an entrepreneur is this the
reason why they they love this alibi
then the highest one is expert what
experts do is they anticipate it what
experts do is they’re not afraid to ask
for help what experts do is they process
issues quickly they process issues
quickly anticipate there’s nothing like
knowing there’s going to be problems
there’s nothing like knowing I’m going
to ask for help to see if somebody else
knows how to help me get this thing done
and last but not least process issues
quickly so if there’s an issue let’s
address it quickly let’s solve it and
let’s move on so now seven tips seven
