How to Reach Your Potential as an Entrepreneur

this is probably gonna be a very emotional video for you to watch let me explain to you why that is listen anytime you and I go to two different places in our lives everybody you have a lot of people that I've lived with you mom dad brother sister friends wife boy all this stuff you've had but there's only one person that's lived with you every second of your life and that's you right we get emotional thinking about our kids or mom dad but there's a whole different emotional aspect when you go back and you think about the 6-year over of you and where you were thinking about memory you know how you take a picture and you look at the picture when you were six and it has a fear in their eyes or you were afraid you like man what were you thinking about you know what was this kid thinking about a picture of myself I look at it it's turmoil Iran I'm like kid what are you thinking about and I get emotional and on the flip side of it you're gonna think about the 40 row version of you 60 70 that gets you emotional because what is life going to be like am I going to reach my full potential that is a scary thought by the way you know why because no one else matters in this world when it comes down to that it's only you versus you nobody does not your competitors nothing and so think about life as a video game you ever played a video game before say Mario say you play an RPG role-playing game the whole idea the video game is to do what is to move up another level another level and as the levels go higher the game gets tougher but you also become tougher right as you're leveling up can you imagine playing a video again with 20 levels and never getting past level 5 can you imagine that you know what's crazy most people play life like that they never get past level 5 so I told you could be emotional here today my goal today with this video I only have 20 minutes with you I wish I had a whole day with you two days with you my idea with this video today so to get you to start thinking about what your potential is what is your true capacity why not someone like you wake up today and say you know what it's about time I go seek my capacity rather than just live in a regular life [Music] so you know a lot of times people tell you and say well you got to reach your full potential and people say what is potential I don't know what that even means you got to reach your capacity I'm gonna explain to you three different things today and then I'll give you my points at the end one is your capacity may be different than somebody else's capacity that's number one - what happens why we're afraid to reach our capacity we'll talk a little bit about that in a very simple way 3 what are the areas of capacity that I really have I don't even know what that really means I'll break down for you and I'll give you some tips I could put 60 points you but I'm gonna simplify and just give you some of the points that maybe I haven't heard of before so let's get right into a look you have to accept a couple things here this is an example of three different human beings each with a different level of capacity this person's capacity the person number 3 this person's capacity makes him right here he doesn't have where she doesn't have his capacity okay this person can reach at their maximum capacity and give everything in life and above it beyond everybody else in a certain industry and they can never compete with this person's capacity and then you have these guys who have more talents than other people who have more access to resources than other people their capacity is higher and that's okay you're watching us right now saying Pat I kind of don't like that what I mean you don't like that well I feel I can be anything in life because my mom told me I can be anything in life your mom lied you can't be anything in life you can't be LeBron James you cannot be Usain Bolt you can't that has to do with the body let me explain what I mean by this in a sports example and then you can understand it for yourself red means somebody who is an underachiever say this is you you stay here you're an underachiever blue means you're an achiever you did good you want to achieved at the level that you should have Green is what you were supposed to do you did but you took it to a whole different level and you became an overachiever where no one expected you to reach you reached that's a whole different idea let me explain again here we can talk about a guy named Mugsy Bogues he gets drafted in the NBA he is five three a hundred and thirty five pounds let me say this one more time he's five three 135 pounds he plays fourteen seasons in the NBA at 5-3 135 pounds average and eight assists a game he is an overachiever because no one in the history of the NBA has ever been five three shortest player ever that guy goes right up here as an achiever he's an overachiever let's put it over here Shaq most people would say is an overachiever I don't put Shaq as an overachiever I put Shaq as an achiever why you're seven one okay you got big hands size 24 feet massive strong powerful you can push every body around Shaq could have been the greatest basketball player of all time not one of the greatest now top ten greatest he could have been the greatest we've never seen a human being like that before no history of sports comes in 71 320 340 pounds and he's got hops and he's fast he could have been the greatest offseason he put on weight never practiced his free throws as much as he could have been what if Shaq practice is free-throw and started shooting 73% instead of 59% what if Shaq you know added another footwork during the time he was playing he was playing against Hakeem Olajuwon what if he went and got a couple other footwork so what if he did better conditioning during offseason what if they took care of himself maybe Shaq could have been averaging 38 points a game maybe shot could have been known 16 rebounds he may be shot could have been doing 71 a percent free-throw showing what happened there see to me he's an achiever but Mugsy Bogues is an overachiever but even though Mugsy Bogues is an overachiever he'll never be a Shaq cuz shack at achiever is still better than Mugsy Bogues however when Mugsy Bogues goes to sleep at night he needs to know that he reached he's an overachiever in life in every body in his industry respects him that's the part so now for you watching it's like what path how do I know what my that he is what is my potential you generally know if you're more talented than most people around you you do you generally know about you know it you know it if you are you generally know if you're just a simple person in your entire life you've just been a simple person maybe your level is gonna be not that crazy you generally know but regardless where you're at you have your capacity okay and you get to choose what you want to be so now you may say Pat it explained to me capacity what is capacity let me explain to you capacity is your day how do you maximize your day what is your capacity for today did you maximize your capacity today do you maximize on a daily basis or do you wink half the time with your days your capacities your network do you really take advantage your network your context you have the people you know do you maximize it do you have your capacity where you know who to call favors give them favors connect get these two that would work it together do you maximize your network your money that you have or does it just kind of sit there do you maximize the tools that you have around you social media you know this this thing is purely a tool this is nothing more than a tool do you maximize this tool do you maximize this social media stuff that's out there are you using it or not I don't know you know it do you maximize your talents your talents the abilities that you have if you were to ask the top five people that know you very well and that you would ask what are my most talented and a top five talents that I have people will say you're an amazing communicator let me take your so intuitive you can always reach somebody you know if that person is a good person or not you always know if somebody someone else you trust or not your intuition is amazing man you are so good when it comes on to making people feel good you're so good with math you're so good with science you're so good with this people will tell you what you're good at you know it you've heard it multiple times in your life before are you maximizing your talents are you really doing that last one your advisors you have advisors you have Mentors I run a company with 8500 agents right now we're in 40 United States I have a sixth Chairman's counsel eleven senior vice president's a few hundred marketing directors right but not everybody's using each other's advice we'll do a conference call on a weekly cases and one not everybody will ask questions the conference call with 12 people not everybody asked questions why are they not leveraging their advisers why they're not asking questions why is that is it ego I can ask anything why they're not using their capacity so capacity and life isn't just your talent that you have in your life it's everybody around you everything you have access to that's capacity so now let's answer the question why don't people reach their capacity it's very simple remember earlier I told you life is like a video game and you got to go to the next level this this part's gonna make a lot of sense to you and it's gonna be difficult for you to embrace this but let me explain it to you here's what it is everybody in life if these are levels at some level you're in the top 20% let me explain everybody is in the top 20% of some level here what here's what I mean say you play basketball you could be the best basketball player if you play against seventh graders and your senior well you're the best basketball player no one can push you around but you're not getting better but you're in the top 1% of basketball players amongst 13 year olds you're 18 but most people treat their careers that way just so you know that most people are 18 euros playing basketball against 13 year olds you ever hear is senior in high school that got into a fight with a freshman what do you call that senior a bully most people treat their careers that way most people would hire potential they're lazy they don't put a lot of work believe me I mentor a lot of people that I've seen here their capacity is here but they're secretly so lazy they don't put the work in because they can wing it and they're still beating this guy so they think they're doing so well but they're not they're just bullying somebody below them they're not good they can't compete with somebody at their own level no way they'll get smashed by somebody that's really wanting to reach their capacity at their level so they like to be around guys like this because it validates how good they are very interesting place to be that's a person that never goes to the next level because every time you go to the next level you're in the bottom 80% and it sucks every time every single time you go to a new levels like oh my gosh I don't even know what to do with this one you know how you play video game you get to the new level you lose loose loose but the level prior to that you I can do this with my eyes closed Papa Papa Papa Papa boom next level you lose takes you 30 times before you go to the next level so you don't like that lever you like to go to the level behind you that's life every single time you level up to get your capacity you suck at the next level we hate sucking at any level you and I we hate sucking we had a visit this last week I was in LA for poker tournament we had Kevin Hart I was hosting a charity tournament and we gave away twenty five thousand dollars to charity at Kevin Hart there invited Phil Hellmuth and I had Michael Franzese and twenty other friends we had some of our executives I rented this seventy five million dollar penthouse 26 thousand square feet and we had a good time everybody showed up were playing a game afterwards we go to dinner I think we went to Fleming's one of the conversations came up and one of the guys said you know it's crazy in life you make the money and then once you make it look oh man I made it what do I do now the journey is what's exciting I said I disagree says what I mean you disagree I said you only feel you got there if you stop there if you keep going to the next level you suck at the next level you're not doing anything at the next level so here's what that example is here's a human being they've reached here they're beating most people they think they've reached it they have no idea that there's that level there because there's fear and every time you and I believe me I know this for my experience every time people that tell you oh my gosh is so amazing you're so dis you're so great Wow Patrick Wow Johnny Wow Steve Wow Bobby boom you believe it but you're not there yet because you haven't reached your capacity yet are you really maximizing these things are you really fully yes huh I don't know about that we were talking earlier and for me when I was putting this content to get on and I were talking I said you know a lot of people may think I'm an overachiever in my eyes I'm an achiever still I am still an achiever but Pat you run a business you didn't have a degree you come from a divorced family you lived in Iran with a war you live in a refugee camp you want to high school 1.8 GPA you know what mean you run a YouTube channel what a million subs insurance companies growing nobody expected you to do any of this stuff yes but in my mind I don't care what the world is saying in my mind I don't want to believe I'm an overachiever because if I'm an overachiever I've reached it I don't want to think that I've reached it I want to know there's ten more levels to the game what am I gonna play a game that I'm almost finished a game I want a new level I want two more levels I want to know there's twenty more levels above me you want to know there's twenty more levels above you what if you meet the best version of you remember how earlier I told you this is an emotional video because you go back and look at that six-year-old picture and you remember that kid had dreams remember that kid had dreams remember what that kid thought he could do she could do do you remember that day you remembered that I remember that day fear there's a walk I remember every single time people tell me what's the earliest memory of your childhood that was six years old I was going down the street we lived in a wonderful jazz Street or jet I was walking to the left to pick up milk from the side when I went over there I walked by myself I was so afraid I was so afraid I remember exactly the street I was on I was so afraid so afraid I was just like oh my god I don't know why one day I don't know why one day I just want to God one day please I don't but I'm afraid like this whole emotion you know exactly what I'm talking about and this isn't something you can act you know it I know it but can you imagine living your whole I've never experiencing that drink that potential that capacity what our life what a waste you know that already you know wake up every single they wanted to contribute to another TV commercial or another ad on YouTube or Facebook or any of this other stuff no you wake up every day suck man what if what if I give it never be afraid of sucking at the next level so let me give you some pointers this is how I process capacity for myself and hopefully this think this can help you out by the way I have a bunch of points you're okay let me read you some of the points yet but I'm not gonna cover with you here okay write down your goals avoid the realistic and seek the potential take massive action stop being poor stay persistent you know visualize imagination stop apologizing hundred percent responsibility focus on a bigger picture these are all right they're all right but you can watch them read all these other books I've written about of myself in other videos and other books I've written but I'm gonna give you stuff maybe you haven't heard of before number one it must matter to you it has to matter to you let me put it to you this way this whatever mine is like this tears I can immediately I can start crying thinking about it okay because it matters to me yesterday we're at Thanksgiving dinner we're all asked a question because she was trying to announce something to us she says how what are you most grateful for everybody gives her great gratitude my turns coming up what do you want to say family that's this death I said honestly for me the first sum of my life were I feel better some stability I said what do you mean I said I've never had stable it in my life what do you mean over had stability in your life in Iran never Germany refugee camp never living in a u.s. parents divorced back and forth see my dad live on my mom there was no stability there joining the army no stability there coming out of the Army trying to figure out what it is to be a civilian getting a job trying to pay off my forty nine thousand dollars there's no stability they're getting into financial services trying to figure out how to sell all this stuff and running a lease changing the offices money that there's no stability there starting an insurance company at thirty years old where the average insurance agent is fifty nine and the average CEO is 65 years old there's no stability there there is no middle-eastern CEO there everybody's white with nice degrease and I'm not one of those guys that connects with everybody and I don't like to be a victim I feel sorry for myself and say what Patrick it's because you're Iranian this is why if I was white I don't like those kinds of alibis and excuses I don't have any stability I don't have money backing me up yes we erased ten million dollars last year but I was last year at 39 years old I don't use anybody's money I save my own money I sound like you're my own money if you're gonna pull this off you gotta be able to pull it off I don't like that I don't like owing people money you can be a pull-off no stability for some of my career I'm 40 years old I'm experiencing a bit of stability and different aspects of my life I'm trusting my decision-making process better you consume I Contin do you think I know everything I don't know everything I'm still learning because I'm seeking this this is what I'm after and it matters to me I'm breathing heart cuz this this hurts me this excites me this is life to me this is my heartbeat I don't know any other way of doing this it's entire day I had to make this content in my mind I'm like god this is too emotional for me to make this content but it matters to me it has to matter to you meaning that 59 year old person that's reached a capacitor you have 59 that's got a matter to you if it matters to you you just subtly need a few strategies that benefits your number two there's a difference between initiating and reacting listen there are leaders in life and there are chasers in life chasers chase the leader okay at some point in your life you are chasing don't get me wrong at some point in your life you are chasing you could be chasing your dad it could be chasing your mom you could be chasing your older brother you go to chasing your older sister your older friends in school but it comes to a moment in your life where you got to take initiative you gotta initiate you can't wait for everybody to read if something happens then you react to it you gotta initiate you got a lead you gotta be the lion at one point of your life you got to see all this time I've been a cat all this time I've been at all this time I've been exact it's time I'm a lion now boom and when you decide to become one your wiring has to change you can't wait for everybody else to do something then you react to them you don't go hit the weights because somebody else is hitting the weight you hit the weights because you're trying to increase your energy you don't get to work because somebody else is working you get into work because you're leading everybody because you lead or not a chaser to reach your capacity you can't be a chaser all the time eventually you have to graduate being a chaser and some total sum tells me most of you guys are chasers most of you guys are people that are you know waiting to react to something happening capacity requires you to lead and to initiate you can't chase and react all the time number three I talk systems a lot I'm gonna talk a lot about systems at our first vitamin conference here will soon it announced it's gonna be three-day conference I'm gonna spend a lot of time with systems with you but you got to have systems let me spend what systems do in the book the power of habit the author talks about the fact that our brain is naturally lazy and our brain likes to come up with systems because it doesn't want to think it just wants to do right there are a lot of things you do you don't think about like you don't have a to do list brush my teeth in the morning it's a system and you have a system on how you brush or do you think about it you put the toothpaste on first maybe you do a long one small one maybe I don't know how you do it maybe you go like this maybe you start off like this I don't know what you do we have a system do what you brush your teeth right now you have a system down how you do it think about it right so you're no longer think about how to brush your teeth you're showering I don't know if you go like this first or you go like his first I don't know if you go here I don't know what you do you have a system if you think about how you shower it's a system you don't think about the way you do it washing your hands how do you wash your hand do you go soap boom-boom-boom or do you go water soap water boom-boom-boom do you go water you know boom boom boom soap boom boom what do you do you have a system you don't think about you've done a million times in business you have to take this stuff that you're thinking about doing come up with systems so you don't think about it anymore and it just happens everything in life you got to create systems for the more systems you have leads me to the next point you can serve energy when you conserve energy that energy is put into the bigger things that gets you to what your capacity but you got to conserve your energy let me see one more time when you create systems on things that happen you're not wasting your energy on small stuff you're investing your energy into big stuff because you're conserving it because you have systems and then when you put it into the big stuff boom growth happens I don't know what I would be busy I'm like oh my god what do I create a video called how to strategize as an entrepreneur my favorite video of all time doesn't have that many views by far my favorite video of all time because when I was coming up as a sales gonna become sales in like what do I do right now I don't feel like I have anything to do energy pick up the phone call clients pick up the phone you meet with clients pick up the phone meet with agents pick up the phone get off the internet stop doing the paperwork stop doing all this stuff pick up the phone go meet with somebody most productive thing I could do is sit right in front somebody touch sell them something teach them something get some referrals connect next what's my productive that requires energy to be in the conversation in the moment when they're telling me I'm listening so I can remember Sky's birthday's coming up in two weeks this guy's wife's birthday he said he likes us make him know - but you're gonna send him a card you gonna send him that brochure from the Jaguar dealership because he lacks the Jaguar you're making notes you're making notes conserving energy so I'm staying in a moment make sense I don't want to waste it because I have systems next point you got to move on faster you can't stay in the moment of a loss or a setback for too long I have this one person that's been trying to get ahold of me all day today you know why I haven't called this person back here's what haven't called this person back they had they're dealing with a crisis today last two years two and a half years do you realize every six months they've had a massive crisis why why because every time a crisis happened I did they lagged fixing the issue so it became bigger okay they lack or they kept doing the same thing and not realizing it's been that's the mistake not the other people how are you having the same issue with five different people I promise you that the people it's you so I want to fix this truck and move on faster if I'm constantly trying to fix everybody I'm the problem for the rest of my life I had a loss they rejected they cancel they change their mind so what what can I do right now to conserve it can I keep this client a medium on call Mary is there anything I can do what happened did I say something to upset you did I first at you was it and misunderstand typically some happens please tell me you know what Patrick I don't know to someone you said I don't like it when he said it's my apologist that's not what I meant that's what I was trying to say I am so sorry about the fact that you felt that way was that really the only thing yes is there anything I can do to earn your business again yes just the fact that you called I feel a lot better because I thought my wife was a little bit Oh Mary I would never say something like that to offend you never have so much respect for you and your family on what you've done you know I'm simply trying to assist you and helping you get you in a better direction oh well thank you so much so based on what we're talking do I still have I still earned your business yes great let's move forward so that's like okay if I can't great I'm moving on you've got to be able to do it because if you don't want you won't reach you you're always gonna be here you're always gonna be here always here that's capacity next six define hard work okay a lot of it's hard work I'm working 100 hours a week 80 hours a week social media doing what what are you doing 100 hours a week what are you doing 100 dollars what are you doing 60 hours what are you doing 80 hours a week define hard work so we need to find hard works and you put hours towards every activity when I do this is 30 minutes it should take me 30 minutes if it takes you two hours you wasted an hour and a half when I make this phone call average phone call is six minutes if they pick up 38 minutes what happened there why are you over selling what happened there when I go and do a drop I do this this one I do this takes this when I'm doing as it takes this define hard work and put hours and time to every single activity that you do whatever that activity is define it with minutes with seconds with hours number capacity do you want to meet your capacity you got to put it there right and last but not least compete up don't be afraid I said earlier don't be afraid to suck at the next level do not be afraid to suck at the next level because the reality part of life is if you're able to do this if you're not afraid of any of this stuff one day you'll be able to say I reached it and even when you get in that moment and everybody tells you that mindset of being an overachiever the experiences you experience are priceless it's priceless and that a habit of you wanting to seek this you know who also it rubs off of that everybody that's around you your co-workers your kids your family or spouse your peers you're gonna rub some people the wrong way and you have to understand why that is I have a lot of friends that don't like me anymore they still love me at one point because I was stuck at this level and they were here so they were glad I was making 36 can they were making 59 K they liked it the moment I made quarter million didn't like me anymore I had people that were making a half a million I was making a quarter me and they loved me the moment I started making three million years they didn't like me anymore I had people that were making three million I wouldn't make I was week and a half and really they loved me their life great then also I go 200 million they don't like me anymore this is like and then you have some people like oh my gosh dude what are you doing I want to learn let's go hey I just want to be around man let's go hang out what can we do cut then it's like da da da da that's exciting right that's because you're seeking this and that wiring if you get this wiring and you start thinking that way like I said this is emotional you may need to watch this whole thing again - actually could you watch this video came on your phone like oh great - a parrot or Barry Taylor sick oh my gosh this is an emotional video you can't just watch this video and drive the car you got to rewind take the notes you got to experience the moment and by the way if you watched it while you're taking notes turn everything off look at your notes internalize this feeling right now don't let this feeling go go with it think about it how are you feeling right now are you afraid what makes feelings do you have right now is it excitement joy anxiety happiness fear all combined sometimes the best food you eat that recipes technical sometimes reaching your capacity that's a technical recipe that doesn't make any sense that includes fear and anxiety and that's okay it's like the hot sauce in life use it don't let it go so now you watched it you take notes now you get to a place you feel good about it you're in a good state second video I want you to watch this it's how to build a life plan it's a one-page business plan click on this it's that time of the year one-page business plan write your one-page business plan the goal is capacity and once you experience this I
