This is so you know about what seven eight years ago – and I remember talking to him – he served in 1/2 or Duty. I pulled him aside and I’m just going to go back you going to do going to absolutely not, and I said why is why I went in there and want to be all I could be.

Take on this as well, so when you hire people, is it shocking to YouTube in an attorney for how long now and 7 months, 8 %? No, I think it it’s disappointing. Sometimes, when you lose someone, you really really like they’re doing a great business coach job, because those people are hard to replace, but I mean you have to bless and release you say thank you for all the good work. Thank you. Maybe you take a shot at. Can I convince you to stay if they’re doing a good job, lady that just moved to Minnesota to be closer to family and your tires out of work.?

You listen, listen to this! Do it on your time, do it on your because the business coach employees will do it every time on their time? It’S so true! I guess.

So what did you do with that? But for the kitchen there may be a Bible verse here and there about the tongue being a sword and being careful what you say, and so I have to be careful about that at the positivity reminds me my my words: can speak life or break people down And that applies to employees as well, especially coming in with a positive attitude and just helps a lot of things to do in my life, and I get to know no, I straight bring it on Pierson once told me that he said you do not spell words. Words cast a business coach spell on people, I thought so tell me what you’re doing man you are number two in my office. I have a big old TV on the wall. That he’s a second monitor. So when are you going to TV, not March Madness or the Masters? Usually the blank, unless I throw something on there for a client that is giant picture of a lion beautiful picture like it was during the day I just expressed as an attorney I’m about to make a call and Wrangle over a hundred million dollar deal. And I look up without lying and I’m like yeah, you know and positive motivational stuff that you can create emotions and confident as an example of what I watch on the TV there’s a scene from Step Brothers. Were the two brothers apply for a job while wearing tuxedos and one brother hides behind the other brother and he gets stuck? Where he’s they said he says: well, thank you. Pam Petty says it pan and if there is it, is it Pam and she says it’s Pam and he is it Pama. I should know it’s Pam.

I think it is a starting quarterback. They are I’m a patriot. I mean titans a pretty impressive mascot of me and learning how to block out negativity into your mind, because so many people get sick. They get Negative real fast because they allow people to steal their Joy. If you’re going to be successful, you have to find a way to ordain your own destiny and to determine your own outcome of each that you have to have shot yet to determine that today is going to be a great day to this is the day that The Lord has made, and you will rejoice in it and be good choice, because you said it’s profound, I’m above the ground, I’m going to make today awesome and then Here Comes business coach adversity, sneaking in trying to steal your joy cuz. I mean this is what you really think about this. When was the last time you let someone steal, your joy doesn’t have anymore. I know it doesn’t happen anymore. I asked when was the last time right before I knock down my brother to your year-and-a-half yeah, but you have to go around and they said the last word you can speak. You know I slept a great ceremony 405 and people are there and my brother said yeah I’ll take them. I got this. What is in Eau Claire is collar on. He gets up there deserres his Grievances and complaints about my dad as they’re putting him into the ground, and other people got up and left. You know I called him an a-hole which is code for an amazing person, and so I called and got up and left my own dad’s funeral. I went home to call my wife later tonight. I will attack him physically, so we’re about 5 hours of that day. Until later that night, in about 7 and knock them out and to please apologize, you say when was Paul’s. You wouldn’t feel like grabbing with left hand, hit him with the right-hand knock them out and then try to pull me off.

But I wanted to get more hits in, so you only got the one tire. So I’m just saying I mean that happened in the last time that I was mad all day and I told Vanessa I’m going to sit down here in a minute and then I’m going to attack him tonight at that win. The most horrible feelings you have is knowing that someone had the authority, the ability the can. I gave him the power of. I gave it to power to my parents to grab that from you to take him to steal the joy the funeral. Now, if I could have done it over again, I would have told him to shut the H up, which is the shut, the heaven his Heavenly yourself up. I would have told him to shut up and then I would have forced him to stop talking, but I would have punched him a hug. You would have shipped it shifted it taking the Michael Shawn Shank Redemption from him metaphorically and actually dropped like from him. So you have a good every listing out there right now, they’re driving or their cubicle, to truck stop to give me on it. I mean looking for a Pizza Hut themselves to tell if they’re asking when was the last time I let someone I gave them the power to take my car to his dad’s funeral and finish your that moment position a were trying to say right now. Is it position a is, never never ever ever letting your joy be dependent upon with somebody else does so John. I want to ask you this question: what visual do you put in your head on a daily basis to keep it to keep yourself positive? You manage a lot of people. How do you stay positive? What visual do you put into your mind? A little flip this a little bit because it just as important as a sing visuals everyday that you put in your head is, is not putting certain visuals in your head like if you get a text message.

If you get some Facebook review, if you get a Google review or whatever, and if you would like harp on that, you can really let that ruin your day or the flip side of that is. You can just choose to ignore that and say: hey, that’s actually not like look up to this day, and I don’t want to focus on that whenever I have to open my email during the day. You know that I honestly close my eyes cuz. I know we come back. I want Roofing what the 13th back Greg Garcia breakdown, how he stays positive visually.
