You Will Never Out-Earn Your Self-Identity with Randy Gage

[00:00:00] Welcome back to Business Finance and Soul. Today's guest is Randy Gage. He is a prosperity expert, a speaker, an entrepreneur, and the author of 16 books, including Radical Rebirth and Wealth Without Apology. He spent decades helping people challenge their personal beliefs, your patterns, your own internal operating system that can keep you stuck, especially around money, success, self-worth and prosperity.

[00:00:30] This is a huge conversation because we get into a life-changing moment where one person showed up and told him something that he had never believed about himself. You don't belong here. You're capable of great things. This is after a really, really bad event that you're going to get into and hear in this conversation. We're going to challenge self-worth, victimhood, poverty consciousness, and why people stay loyal to beliefs that hurt them.

[00:00:58] This is a big, wide-ranging conversation that you can immediately take value from and apply it in your own life. And finally, we're going to talk about his four quadrants of prosperity. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did sitting down with Randy Gage. Randy, welcome to Business, Finance and Soul. Thanks for sitting down with me. Hey, thanks for bringing me in. Absolutely. Well, you know, I've watched some of your speeches. I've read about your work.

[00:01:28] And when you look at someone who's authored 16 books, you've built a global speaking career. You spent decades teaching about prosperity and mindset. And I think what it's easy to assume for the audience that you've always been wired this way, you know, focused, disciplined, goal-oriented, you know, maybe clear about what you wanted from a young age. But your life really started in a very different place.

[00:01:58] You've talked about being arrested at 15 and being on a path that could have taken you in a completely different direction. And I want to begin there because I think it's great to create some context. Can you take us back to that younger version of you? What was happening in your life at that time and what eventually led you to change that trajectory?

[00:02:19] Yeah, because anyone who thought, wow, the young Randy had such a clear vision and knew where he wanted to go and everything, that done work. That dog don't hunt. I was in jail for burglary and armed robbery at 15 as I was already an addict, drugs and alcohol. And it made a lot of poor choices.

[00:02:43] And some of that was the result of being autistic and not knowing, nobody knowing, not my mom, not the world, nobody knowing what autism even was because that wasn't even a thing, a diagnosis at that point. And so I had this alienation, loneliness, just felt all the time like, how did I get here?

[00:03:11] Why am I so different than everyone else? Because that was a really good wake up call for me because that, although at 15 and then 16 years old, you're not, you don't have great discernment with making changes.

[00:03:32] At least when you're facing such severe consequences, you do, even though you may not be as discernible or intelligent or understand the nuances, you can recognize like, hey, the way I'm thinking, the way I'm living, this isn't working out very well for me. I probably need to rethink my life. And I did.

[00:03:59] Did you have anyone at a younger age to model? Did you know an uncle or your parents? I don't know your familial background, but was there anyone that you saw and put them on a pedestal and were allowed to kind of deconstruct their success? Or did you start from scratch and you had to really create a new belief system on your own? I had to create a new belief system.

[00:04:29] It would have been really helpful if I had that scenario to model. My mom was a single mom who raised three kids by herself, knocking on doors, selling Ava. So she was asleep when we left for school. So we got up. She left the Cheerios and the Frosted Flakes and the whatever and the big sugar bowl on the table so we could eat our cereal and then go to school.

[00:04:59] And then we came home from school and played outside till it was dark or dinnertime and then went outside. And parents today would just froth at the mouth of the way all kids were raised in those days, right? We didn't have cell phones. Nobody tracked us. We just, a Saturday, you might leave the house at 830 in the morning and come back at five at night.

[00:05:27] And your parents had no idea except you were playing outside. But so then, you know, when I came home from school, that's when she was always working. So, again, it was get a snack and then hang out with my friends and watch Star Trek reruns and whatever else kind of trouble we could get into. And I didn't really have, there weren't people in my family who were wealthy or successful or happy. I wouldn't even say necessarily happy.

[00:05:58] So I didn't have like stuff like that to model. That came later in life. How long were you incarcerated for? I was there for about six months, five, six months, I think, waiting on the trial and finalizing everything. What age for you did, if you look back, did your first set of beliefs start to erode, right?

[00:06:26] The belief that I'm, you know, growing up in a household where I don't have two parents readily available to help mentor me. A belief that I'm, you know, my actions aren't going to put me on a path where there's consequences long term. When did you notice that erode?

[00:06:50] And what happened if there was an actual moment that you can think back to where you started to believe life could be different? Well, the seminal first really seminal moment was when I was in jail. I got visited by the father of a girl I went to school with and she dated my best friend, David. And she her father was a teacher and she kept telling me, you got to go help Randy.

[00:07:19] He's in jail. He's rotting away. Go save him. So one day that the keys are jangling out in the hallway, my cell door opens and this guy walks in who I have no idea who he is. His name was Baxter Richardson. And he introduced himself and told me he was a teacher and that he was Joy's father. And she had asked for him to come in and check on me. And he told me, you don't belong here. You're capable of great things.

[00:07:49] Yeah. Well, I told him he was full of you know what. And he's going to slap me into the next week. But he didn't. And he didn't. No, I interviewed all your teachers before I came here. They tell me you skip school for three, four weeks straight and you'll show up and there'll be a test that day. And you can ace the test. Do you realize your reading comprehension skill are higher than college level? And no, I didn't realize that. Right.

[00:08:19] And I mean, I knew it was different. I thought the world was pretty stupid. It seemed to me, I thought like these teachers were pretty clueless. This stuff they were talking about seemed pretty simplistic to me. That was, you know, when you're on the spectrum, there's all kind of. That's why they call it the spectrum. Right. It is a rainbow of many, many hues.

[00:08:45] And I was on the high IQ, but completely hopeless, helpless social skills band bandwidth, I guess. And so, you know, I was like, is this test supposed to be hard? Is this doesn't everybody know this shit? You know what? I don't understand here. What's going on? But I just couldn't figure the world out. It just didn't make sense to me.

[00:09:13] And this guy telling me that I was capable of great things, that was so mind blowing to me. And of course, I so desperately wanted to believe it that I believed it. And if you believe it, it's true. That's right. Everything was self-identity. If you believe it, it's true. So I believed like, okay. And I was very fortunate.

[00:09:42] I had people like Baxter who believed in me. I had a public defender who believed in me. And then a judge who said, you know, let's give this kid a chance. We'll give him probation. And if he keeps his nose clean till he's an adult, we'll wipe away his record and he can have a fresh chance at life.

[00:10:03] So that was a real turning point for me having somebody tell me that I was worth something. Yeah.

[00:10:14] I find that to be extremely substantial when we look back at our lives and we can kind of reconcile moments that were super uncomfortable or humiliating, painful.

[00:10:35] You know, being arrested had to happen for you to be able to be put in a position where someone was able to challenge your self-worth and give you another perspective.

[00:10:47] Had you just continued on that path, you could just be in this very mediocre life, bumping along, questioning, angry, but not getting enough of a pattern disrupt to where you actually substantially make a change. Or where you say, wow, maybe I am worth more. I'm curious for your life.

[00:11:13] What belief of your old life from the way you saw yourself had to die for the new belief system to emerge? Oh, wow. I wrote an entire book on that. And I didn't know I was writing a book on that. The book is called Radical Rebirth.

[00:11:32] And the premise of the book is you can kill off the parts of your life that you don't like and replace them with characteristics, traits, behaviors that you do like. You can be reborn. You can rebirth yourself into a better life. And I wrote it just looking at the belief structures we create.

[00:12:01] We all run on an operating system, whether we know it or not. Most people operate on pretty unconscious, subliminal one. They don't even know it was there. And in that particular book, I break down the six main areas of belief that we get that create the operating system. We create beliefs on all the important things in life, right?

[00:12:25] Money and success, health and wellness, God and religion, marriage and relationships, things like that, right? And so you develop, most of us, they're all the core beliefs are developed by the time we're eight years old. So if your parents are fighting all the time, they divorce, their one's abusive, one cheats, whatever. That's your core foundational belief about marriage.

[00:12:52] And until you, if you don't ever go at some point and question the premise and say, wow, am I repeating the pattern of my parents? Wow, am I blowing up my marriage at 38 years old because of something I learned when I was eight years old? If you don't do that work, that's what happens.

[00:13:14] You just repeat the process and you keep on that negative operating system, a poverty consciousness operating system. And so what that book is about, what, let me turn that bell off. I didn't realize I had that still on.

[00:13:31] And what my, just my work in general is about is, okay, how do we challenge, look back, analyze those beliefs, challenge them, get rid of the ones that don't serve us, and then replace them with beliefs that empower us. And when you do that, then you can create a prosperity conscious operating system, right?

[00:13:57] So like your listeners or viewers, they're, you know, they're conscious entrepreneurs, conscious executives. So they will really get this part that, hey, this is a mindful process that we have to choose. And most people, and I'm sad to say most people, and I hope to change that. That's why I've written 16 books. That's why I have my Breakthrough You program.

[00:14:26] That's why I do my blog and my podcast and be on shows like yours. This is, I'm, that's my mission is, hey, we need to raise the prosperity consciousness level of the world. And we do that by empowering people and educating people. We're not going to do it with charity alone. We're not going to do it with entitlement programs. We have to change consciousness. Yeah.

[00:14:50] And you get that opportunity to really dive deep into individuals' lives and explore more of why they hold on to beliefs. Like you said, a lot of these can be established when they were not participating in an active way, so to speak, of where they were like, hey, this is the belief system I want to have.

[00:15:18] It's just happening in an unconscious way. And I'm curious if it, if there's anything that you can point to of why people stay loyal to a belief system that they can clearly see as hurting them. You know, why do people struggle for so long until they start to reprogram or let parts of them die? Yeah. Great, great question, Shaun.

[00:15:46] That was kind of the impetus for my latest book, which is called Wealth Without Apology. How we break out of that programming and do it in a world that guilts us, you know, that makes you feel guilty for being healthy, happy, or wealthy. And we do that ourselves. We self-sabotage. We limit ourselves because we have those beliefs and we don't know.

[00:16:14] And it's a question of, you know, we have to recognize those beliefs and then we have to blow them up and we have to replace them with beliefs that serve us. Like, and so getting to you specifics of your question, what I did for 30 years was I was a professional victim. So I needed drama and trauma in my life because that's how I felt worthy.

[00:16:42] I was the lone little guy fighting the forces of evil and all of the bad things that were keeping me sick and broke and ignorant. And that was how I grew up with such a dysfunctional personality, the inability to accept love, to have intimate relationships.

[00:17:09] Uh, so I hated myself. So I certainly wasn't going to let anyone love me because I didn't love myself. Right. So I desperately craved love as all humans do. I believe, I think all animals, all conscious beings. Um, but I couldn't accept love. So I substituted sympathy.

[00:17:33] So I, you know, if I keep getting my business seized by the IRS or I keep manifesting another health challenge or another dysfunctional relationship, and I can blame it on the economy or the president or my ex-wife or my ex-husband or my ex-whatever. Um, then people can feel sorry for me. And then I can, I can feel needed and wanted and loved because that's how dysfunctional I was.

[00:18:03] And, uh, I, one of the things I say in the wealth without apology book is if you were an alien and you came to earth to study the human species. And you just kind of tapped in, saw what people were posting on the internet and eavesdropped in on the conversations at Starbucks or whatever.

[00:18:25] You'd probably say there must be a worldwide victim Olympics taking place on this planet. Um, so that's why they hang on.

[00:18:41] It's the question you have to ask to break out of it is, okay, you say that you don't want this, but what is the payoff that you're getting that's causing you to keep manifesting it? Mm-hmm. I think vision goes a long way, right?

[00:19:03] And that's where I asked you about the modeling because many people lack vision and even successful people. And I, I've experienced it myself over time, you know, of not dreaming big enough.

[00:19:18] I have, you know, great respect for people who can dream so much bigger and you're like trying to say, well, you know, yes, I live in this space and I believe you, but also let's be realistic. Right. And I, I wonder, you know, when we, when we think about someone that is trying to think bigger and trying to create a future that they have not seen, they have not experienced it.

[00:19:48] They're not sure if that's even something attainable for them. Um, how do you work with people on creating a vision that's maybe bigger than they could ever imagine? Uh, I have to whatever stage. I have to shock their sensibilities. Right.

[00:20:09] So my books, like my books are, um, very, I'm not afraid to be controversial, thought provoking, dropping F bombs, get in your grill, grab you metaphorically by the collar and shake you. Right. Right. And even, I mean, I have people come to my breakthrough you, which is kind of like an entrepreneurial mastermind coaching accelerator program.

[00:20:36] And they're, uh, they're high levels of success. Right. They've got all the toys, all the houses, all the, everything there. They're there. They've done their eight figure exits or their nine figure exits. And they come because they destroyed their health doing it. They've destroyed their relationships doing it, or they've destroyed both doing it.

[00:20:57] And so I've got to re, I got to help them rewire their operating system to show them you can create wealth without destroying your health and your relationships and your soul. And then have other people that, uh, they, they are the bottleneck.

[00:21:20] They're the, you know, they've created a self identity and whatever that self identity is, you will never out earn it. So if your self identity is, you know, you were one day going to grow up and make $200,000 a year, you're never going to out earn that 200,000 a year. If that's your self identity. And if somebody comes along and says, I recognize your genius. I know you're only working for 200,000, but I will hire you right now.

[00:21:50] And I'll give you a job for 300,000. Cause I see the greatness in you that you don't even see for yourself. If you don't change your self identity, you will blow up that $300,000 job. All right. Or if the New York Yankees give you a $400 million contract, you're going to do a PED suspension. And blow it up. If you find the absolute perfect soulmate, you're going to cheat on them and blow up the marriage.

[00:22:16] All because it's going to come back to worthiness issues of your, what is the worthiness you see of yourself, your self identity. So I'm, you know, I'm a high school dropout. So I don't claim to be a therapist or psychologist, psychiatrist or anything. But of course my entire work is related to the study of human psychology. Why people do the things they do.

[00:22:42] And I have some pretty brilliant insights on it because I'm an entrepreneur, operator, founder out in the space, making things happen. And I've reached some pretty extraordinary levels of wealth and success and happiness and health. So, uh, like I just did a YouTube show. It hasn't even recorded. It isn't out yet, but it'll be out like by the time your guys see this. Right.

[00:23:10] So the, this show, which I just recorded yesterday, the premise that I'm trying to get across to people in this show is it is easier to run a $1 million a year business than it is to run a $100,000 a year business. And next level, it is easier to run a $100 million business than it is to run a $1 million business.

[00:23:38] And going even one level further. And I know this shocks, there's people that are grinding their molars right now thinking I'm crazy. Right. Uh, but it is easier to scale your business 30 times, 50 times, even a hundred times. It's easier to take a $2 million business and ramp it up to a $200 million business than it is to try to maintain it at $2 million.

[00:24:10] Because everything in, in nature is growth centered. Cells that don't duplicate get killed off. They get identified. They get killed off. Right. Like everything in nature, stasis equals death. Same thing with businesses. When you're trying to maintain your business, play it safe, you know, protect the brand, play not to lose.

[00:24:36] Of course, you have all these competitors nipping at your heels and they're willing to take chances. They're doing innovations. They're questioning the premise. They're taking the constraints you have, which is, okay, in the real estate industry, this is the constraint. Everybody knows it. Or in the manufacturing industry, these are the constraints. Everybody knows what they are.

[00:24:59] We all have to, well, there's some 24 year old founder who says, well, I don't think that constraint is real anymore because I think AI blows it up. Or I think compute power blows it up. Or I think the new economic situation blows it up. Or this new scientific development. Right. And all of a sudden, this 24 year old founder makes your complete industry obsolete.

[00:25:29] Right. And if we look at whether it's, you know, Chesky and what's his name with the Airbnb and Travis and Uber and pick any one of these disruptive companies that blew up their spaces. They all were Amazons, another example. They just, there were people who looked at that and said, well, that constraint that everybody agrees on and everybody in the industry knows what that constraint is.

[00:25:57] I don't, I don't, I don't accept that premise. And they blow it up. Right. And so when you're running your $2 million a year company and you're protecting the moat, everyone else is trying to out earn you, outgrow you, take your market share. And the people who try to scale, they just disrupt your market totally.

[00:26:22] And where we are today with AI, AI commoditizes optimization. Right. Right. Like, here's what you're doing if you're playing it safe. You say, okay, we got a $2 million company. So how do we lessen the friction on this thing? Because if we can reduce the friction on this process, that will give us an incremental 2% annual savings down to the bottom line.

[00:26:51] Or it'll give us an incremental 2% increase in sale. Well, AI does that for everyone, right? It levels the plan. So now optimization is just table stakes to get at the poker table. Everybody's there. So now we're going to get at the top of the game. The people where the guy who says, okay, I got a $2 million business. How do I turn it into a $200 million business?

[00:27:19] And he or she go commits to scaling that. Now they say, okay, now I don't have time for any of the bullshit. I have to delegate. Now we don't have time for any of this confusion. We have to have project accountability. Now we don't have time for keeping things. We have to put innovation in place. We've got to question the premise. And it's actually easier.

[00:27:49] And I know this because this is what I do. I work with entrepreneurs all day, every day. I'm an entrepreneur myself. And I can tell you, those founders who get it, who scale, they have a better quality of life, an easier time running their companies, a more enjoyable time running their companies.

[00:28:07] They're doing more good, helping more people, creating more jobs, creating more profits, and making the world a better place than the people who think they're optimizing for mediocrity. So I like that. And I think that if you and I are sitting down and we go, all right, here's the mission.

[00:28:32] You helped me break through a self-limiting belief where I had capped out at whatever it is. We could use your example previously, 200,000 or a business owner at 2 million. But that's the belief system. And I'm going to play it safe up until I sit down with you. And you say, we're going to break you out of that self-limiting belief.

[00:28:59] What has to happen beyond that moment where I'm inspired and caffeinated at the same time and now tomorrow comes? And there's turnover that happens. There's a setback from a client that leaves. There's financial strain.

[00:29:20] What do you work with in terms of the mindset to keep a sustainable and repeatable mindset or behavior once the excitement has worn off? And you're in the trenches getting the work done, establishing the reality of this new focus. Well, like a part of my coaching program, I do what we call Monday Mojo.

[00:29:48] Every Monday, I send them an email to plan their week, set their strategy, get their mind focused. This week, I talked about this passing the test, right? So you make this commitment. I'm going to scale my company. The universe says, oh, so, you know, Sean's talking a big game. Let's see how serious he is.

[00:30:13] So he said he's going to stop doing telephone consultations for $500 a client for an hour. And he's going to raise them to $3,000 because he's going to see the bigger picture. He's going to go after premium level clients. He's going to create more market gravity. He wants to work with a bigger sandbox, have bigger effect.

[00:30:37] So let's send them the next candidate prospect who's going to give him price resistance. And let's see how quick he can fold or if he's serious about this. Right? So and then suppose you pass the test. Now you say, oh, I passed the test. Now the universe is going to let me coast for a while.

[00:31:01] No, that's not what's and I'm telling them that this is what the lesson was this week, that your reward for passing the test is a bigger test. And if you pass the bigger test, the reward for that is a bigger test. Right. I used to start consulting contracts with a $5,000 initiation fee. Went to 10. It went to 20. It went to 25. It went to 50. It went to 75.

[00:31:30] Now it's 150. I might go to 250. Right. This is over the course of years where I just as my division that I see the world through and I know the value I bring. And each step of that, my belief has been strengthened. Right. By small wins along the way. Yes. So that's the other thing I'm doing with people is I'm getting them some wins. And then I'm putting them in a room with other people who are getting wins.

[00:32:01] And now let me, I have to, I have to word this really delicate because I don't want to throw anybody under the bus. Let me think how I say this. So I get invited to speak to a very high level successful group, which has a youth group in it.

[00:32:24] So you have all these members and so they might sponsor their nephew as into the group member, you know, the, the youth membership. Right. So they have this. So they asked me, Hey, would you speak to the youth group? And they're like, there's a couple of teenagers, but they're mostly like 20, 22, 24 year old ish.

[00:32:52] And they're like, Hey, would you be willing to speak to the youth group? Because I was speaking to the big group, the older group. I said, of course, I'd love to. I'm always looking for working with young people, especially because I'm, that's part of my mission. You know, the Gen X, Y, Z people. They're so screwed in the current financial system if they buy into it. Right. So.

[00:33:16] Well, I rocked their world because the whole vibe in this group is, hey, we're all the old rich white people for the most part. Right. We're the old rich generational wealth people. We fly private and we do have a businesses that do 300 million and 500 million, whatever.

[00:33:41] And you young kids, we're here to, you know, drop the worms into the beaks of the babies, birds. And, you know, give the crumbs to the young people and inspire them. So I go in and I talk to both groups and I tell them, you know, if you guys would see my entrepreneur accelerator,

[00:34:05] you would see that the most sought after people in the group are the kids. Because I've got a kid who has built an app that has a valuation of 200 million dollars and he's 22 years old. So I've got a kid who does something in social media working in the, I don't want to give away any trade secrets.

[00:34:35] So, you know, let's just say he's in the music business and he's doing social media for people in the music business. And he's got, he did more than 3 billion views on social media last year. Wow. Like his problem, like when I'm doing the one-on-one coaching with him, he's like, I'm like, okay, are you paying your taxes? How, what's your cash flow like?

[00:34:58] And he's like, well, I have $850,000 in the bank, but I don't know how much is mine because we're growing so fast. I haven't hired a CFO yet. So I don't, we haven't even done the taxes. I don't, maybe that's all, you know, this is. So, but I'm telling this to the other group, like you, all you old people who think you're what, and all you young people who think, oh, I have to learn the secrets from these old rich people.

[00:35:26] You need to suck it up and say, hey, Gage is saying he believes it's probably easier to become a billionaire today than it is to become a millionaire. And with the world we're living in and how we float IPOs and go public and value of assets and what AI does to leverage and, you know, level the playing field and create leverage.

[00:35:54] And now we don't need companies of 500 people to be worth $200 million. We can do that with a company of three people. I'm telling this group, listen, all you old people, you need to be talking to these kids and learning from them. So you can, you know, that's my take on all that, right? Is the, you know, I'm attracting those kids who are.

[00:36:22] And so, you know, we've got a contest for the kids in my program. Who's going to be the first billionaire? You know, that's how they're thinking. So what I was telling the kids in this other group is that's how you have to be thinking. And then you can come to old people like them and me and say, hey, I got 850,000 in the bank, but I don't know, you know, how do I hire a CFO? Should I get a fractional one?

[00:36:51] Do I have the volume to generate a full-time one? You know, how do I create an HR process or department in my company? How do we manage cash flow?

[00:37:03] What, right, that's where the elder statesman can be helpful, but they can't do that if you give up your dreams and you buy into the bullshit of the incremental growth, you know, put down that society enacts on everybody.

[00:37:23] Well, you make a point that we all know in theory and need to apply it in practice, which is to continue to expand and sustain that mindset. It is about surrounding yourself with others that challenge the way you see the world on a regular basis. You mentioned, you know, you have, you just had a Monday meeting of where you had to challenge the group.

[00:37:52] The group gets around each other. They've got one set of beliefs. Someone else brings in a whole nother set of beliefs that helps you reshape. You know, someone like myself where I see a 22-year-old with a $200 million valuation on an app. That's not even my world. So to see it, then you go, my God, that's amazing. And then he's thinking, wait a second, you've got a wife and a house and two great kids and I want that, you know.

[00:38:20] And so everyone kind of has their own vision of what success means and how to sustain that really is getting outside of your world and expanding that network, being part of a group of high achievers, showing up, being vulnerable, talking about what your dreams are, and then challenging yourself to go bigger, which I am a huge fan of.

[00:38:48] And I'm curious what success means to you, you know, right now, when you look at everything that you've done, how do you define success now? Great, great question. So first of all, free gift for everybody watching or listening. Go to randygage.com, my website.

[00:39:14] Right on the homepage, you'll see a download, a free PDF, The Seven Elements of an Abundant Life. Click on that and download. That will show you the holistic picture. So that's the long answer to your question. The short answer is I believe there's four quadrants of prosperity. Money and material things are important to that, right? But they're part of one quadrant, which I call resources.

[00:39:42] There's another quadrant, wellness. The third quadrant I call harmony. You're comfortable in your own skin. You're at peace. You're kind toward yourself, your other humans, animals, and solar systems. And then the fourth quadrant is what I call significance. Knowing that you'll reach a point at some point that, okay, I got all the toys.

[00:40:11] Okay, I'm worth $300 million. What's next? Okay, I just had my exit. I just floated my IPO. Money is never going to be an issue for me for the rest of my life again. I have the money thing out of the way. What is going to give me meaning? That I'm going to still want to throw the covers off the bed and jump out of bed every morning. That's the significance part.

[00:40:37] And those four quadrants together, that's what creates a prosperous life. I love that. I think that that is something where most people put a focus on the one area that they don't have a lot of times. Money or resources dominates the information zeitgeist.

[00:41:04] It's part of what everyone talks about, not having enough of that. And so living in that scarcity mindset. But you really need to have a quadrant system in your own life to make sure that all are balanced. Because if they show up with you and, yeah, they're worth a substantial amount of net worth, but their health is failing, their marriages are failing, that isn't something that is healthy either. And nobody aspires to that. So if you're doing well in a couple areas, that's great.

[00:41:34] You should really, really build yourself up on that. That's great. Keep that going. And then look for individuals like you where they can help strengthen the other areas where they're not maybe at that expectation. I really appreciate it. I know, Randy, you've got other meetings today too. And I'm going to include your link in the show notes so others can download and see your map for success.

[00:41:59] And I'm curious if there's anything else that you'd like to add for the listeners today. Yeah, just I think the biggest lie out there is one quadrant success. So you get all these Instagram and TikTok accounts and you got these lamb broke YouTubers who, you know, go and rent a Lambo for a day in a house and they're, you know, looks maxing their thing.

[00:42:27] And people think that's the answer. Oh, yeah, I could get rid. And then you have the other thing and the people who actually have their health and relationships and things, but they don't have money to pay the rent. Right. That's not prosperity either. We need all four quadrants. So download the PDF. Look for my YouTube channel.

[00:42:52] You'll see a lot of shows like this on these topics, but particularly for you entrepreneurs, there's the one about how it's easier to run a hundred million dollar business than a million dollar one. And check out my it's called breakthrough you, which is my entrepreneur accelerator program right on my website. Just click that link. And I have three different levels for wherever somebody's at and get yourself on that path.

[00:43:19] Because again, stasis equals death, whether it's personal or business. If we're not in a state of growth, we're in a state of decay and you don't want to be there. Yeah, that's well said. And I appreciate you, Randy. It's really inspiring when I meet with people who have found their gift.

[00:43:43] You know, they've been able to harness, you know, what was part of your journey and you happen to find it and, you know, exploit it, really grow it and help others and create impact. So I absolutely want to, you know, tell you, thank you. I'm grateful for you for finding that, helping others out in the world and raising consciousness along the way. And to everyone else, appreciate you tuning in.

[00:44:12] And as always, stay curious.
