7 Mins That Will Change How You See Yourself Forever...

who are you not what business are you in or really in or what business you need to be in not why are you in the business not what do you want from the business but who are you in your core and let me explain all of us in this room have different gifts that we can give regardless of our business I have found there are what I would call three gifts of Labor and when I say labor I believe other than my love and other than your love the greatest gift we can give someone other than our love is our labor and in my case my my labor is a source of love I'm trying to love you into the place you get what you want whether you know it or not it might sound corny to you but it's really what's true in my heart and so that gives me great joy but there are three gifts you can give through your labor you can first give the gift of being a great artist or Talent or a skilled producer now if this is your primary gift it means that what excites you is creating things that's what artists do when I say artists I don't just mean like someone who paints your art might be negotiation your art might be writing software code better than anybody else your art might be designing fashion better than anybody else these people live to produce some form of product or service or result and they love to see its impact on people's lives that is their primary drive and motivation that's what rewards them the artist wants to make money we all do but the artist will never sell out they don't really want to sell the business when I talk about selling a business all the artists look at me with this confused look like why don't I do that this is what I want to do the rest of my life life and there's nothing wrong with that but that limits to what you're going to build in the business if that's the only filter you use now the second gift that you could give someone is the gift of being a manager or leader if you're a manager or leader your labor your skill your ability is really to manage people and processes and people that are manager leaders they love to manage people artists usually get frustrated with too many people because they just want to create what they want but a manager leader loves it and they don't just love managing the people they love managing the process theying to make it better they're building a system which by the way a business is a system for adding value an organization is only a system cuz if you leave and there's no system there's no business but if there's a system it'll go on even when you're not there whether it's McDonald's or GE so you can replace the people and it still works that's a system manager leaders are outstanding at that the third person is what we call an entrepreneur or a better term would be a massive risk-taker because most of you in this room consider yourself to be an entrepreneur but I would argue to that maybe the language would be more accurate is your entrepreneurial meaning you enjoy creating things including lots of different companies but that's not an entrepreneur what makes them an entrepreneur is they're in it for the economics and they're in it for the juice of the ups and downs they actually love taking risks Ted Turner has been near bankruptcy six times once he went bankrupt can a man in your position lose all his money suddenly sure happens all the time but five other the times is near it and he just got up and did it again he jued about it's about fun that's a true entrepreneur and they're unlike the artist or the manager leader they're happy to sell the business you know they'll sell the business and they'll just buy another one or they'll start another one and they might like the product but the product can change it's not about the product for the entrepreneur it's about creating this business that they can make money out of and sell so it's a different mindset so I have a friend who said to me well I'm a medical doctor and I have three centers and I'm the best entrepreneur I know and I looked at him and go dude let me help you what if you had to choose between helping people in three locations versus selling the business and making a 10x profit he goes I'd never do that it would be wrong for my patients I want to be there for all of them he's just an overproductive artist and by the way he makes money but no in near as much as he could because he's not looking to maximize it he says he does but it's not his nature his nature is do more cool things for people which he enjoys and he's entrepreneu Yol he's more entrepreneurial than the people he knows but the people he knows are not true entrepreneurs so here's the truth if money wasn't a question what would I do would I want to trade things for people see light up would I want to run the organization manage people in processes do I want to take the risk be there sell it do something else again what is your nature now you might have all three skills they're not equal we all have one that we're better at than the others and the secret have fulfillment you can do do all three of these but if you're going to be fulfilled you got to spend the majority of time in your nature and by the way under stress you'll go back to your nature the artist goes back to working on the products the manager leader tries to change the organization the entrepreneur wants to sell it and do something else that's the nature of the person under stress and under excitement you tend to go back here and most people have stress and excitement in their business so the question becomes not what do you want but what's your nature so you're the most fulfilled see many of you came here wanting to be an entrepreneur and you might be better as a skilled artist without all the risks than taking your money and investing in entrepreneurs that are already the best in the world that you'll never be cuz it's not your nature and make 10 times your money 20 times your money 30 times your money off someone else who takes all the risk who stays up all night who never breathes who finds the way to do it well you party and do what you love and many of you have not considered that so the real question is what's your nature if you can align with your nature you'll eliminate so much stress if you align with your nature going to be 10 times more fulfilled if you align with your nature you're going to be 10 times more effective but most of us have got our egos involved because of the conditioning of society and we say I want to be that entrepreneur I want to be the guy that starts Google or Apple or whatever the case may be and chances are that's not what you're going to do you can still be a to great business but those things are usually not what most people experience so which of these is you at your core cuz the question we're going to answer is this who are you in your true nature now I have all three of these skills but they're not equal and I'm not fulfilled equal by all three of them but here's what I've done I've surrounded myself with people that have the other skills and I've gotten really good at being an entrepreneur but guess what I still love most this year so what do I do I've developed that skill I know how to do it and in those other businesses I've surrounded myself with great manager leaders and great entrepreneurs and I'm a great entrepreneur but I'm not as great as them because I'll never maximize The Profit the highest level because I want to do more for the customer it's my nature so I divorce myself from some of those businesses in that area I'm the strategist I bring the value there but I don't get in the of decisions like bottom line is I have different people as partners I play a different role in those places based on the goals of what I want to accomplish in those areas I'm the last person that would limit you and so you can only be this I hope you know that about me but I also want you to be fulfilled cuz in the end the money's not going to do it the Situation's not going to do it it's aligning with what fulfills you that will make you fully alive and if you do that really well you can also make more money than you can imagine but you got to know your true nature and you got to line with it so the question we're going to answer is this who are you you at your court what fulfills you most and who do you need
