The Life of an Entrepreneur ~ How To Get More Time Out Of Each Day

I don't burn out because I know what success means to me. I love what I do. Oh, my God, I hate needles. I feel like there's not even enough time in a day. I want to keep going. Ready? So, like, I don't want to sleep. I don't want to not work. Still don't. Like, doesn't even hurt. It's just the thought of it. So I still pack my own vitamins. Look at these. Once a month, I pack up a month's worth. Here. Vitamins can be overwhelming, absolutely overwhelming, because you don't know what to take every time you read something awesome online. First of all, you don't know if it's an ad. You don't know if it's a fad. For the week. You get recommendations from 30 different people. So again, and it's because I'm fortunate to be in the space I am. I hired a great a doctor naturopath to understand my blood, my life. And then I get my little cheat sheet of what will make my life ideal. And for, you know, for me, I have a little bit of high cholesterol. That's hereditary. My sugar runs a little high. I have a tough time sleeping at night, shutting off my brain. My adrenals get fried really fast because I go. I live on adrenaline. I don't need more than four hours sleep. I never get tired. I don't take naps. Anyway, not that you care about all this, but I found a way to. Again, I'm always talking about paying for speed or learning from those who already know. I'd rather pay a doctor and great naturopath to give me the cheat sheet so I can fill these up once a month. And I know what to take in the morning, I know what to take at night. That's ideal for me. And how I justify paying a doctor and great naturopath to do it is if I can run harder, run stronger, be a better dad, be a better fiance, future husband, be a better leader for my team, have the stamina, have the energy to show the world at 50, I can keep up with anybody at any age, I think it's worth it, right? Because I equate everything. Even when I didn't have money, I equate everything to a return on investment. So if I get a doctor that allows me to run faster, just think about this. What if I could go one hour a day, stronger and harder? What if I could stay another hour a day and flow right? What if I can outrun my kids? They're only 10 and 12. But I told them I'll be 100 before they could outrun me. I. What does that mean as an example to my kids about health and fitness? Right. It's not just telling them to do it. I'm exemplifying it by living it, right? So in my head, and maybe it's justification, in my head, I justify the dollars that I spend for supplements, for getting cheat sheets and knowing what to take. And I do love packing them myself. My assistant always says, I'll pack those for you and even my fiance, Lisa. But I like it because then I get to pick and I see all these things, and then sometimes I'll be taking something for a while and I'll get my blood checked, and that's good cholesterol. I have high cholesterol. I was on a statin for a long time, and then I took the natural path for 10 years. And then in the last couple months, for some reason, my cholesterol has spiked like crazy. So my natural path's like, you know what? Do a statin for six months, get it under control, and then we'll go the natural route again. If you're watching, if you're a doctor, you might have another path. But this is the path I chose. And I don't mind cutting a check to be healthier, cutting a check to go faster. And I have zero doubts there's a return on investment. And then I do these once a week. I do a vitamin B shot. And this is a liver cleanse just to help detox. Yeah, this is my pile of supplements. So we're getting ready to go to Florida today. We're going to. We're going to. This is my superfoods. A little messy, my spirulina and cacao and maca and flaxseed and hemp seed, an organic beet powder, some shaved almonds. This is some stuff we just bought. Just got delivered. So, yeah, I mean, listen, I want to be able to impact the world. I want to keep going. I want to be able to hustle. And so my health is. I mean, what is that, ancient? It's an old Indian proverb. It says, a man who has his health has many wishes, and a man without his health has but one. So, yeah, I probably run too fast, too hard. I probably not really stress, but I got a lot on my mind all times. It's hard to shut my brain down. That's probably the biggest thing I gotta work on, is probably more meditation, more peaceful moments. But I love what I do so much. Like, literally, it's not just the saying. I love what I get to do. I love the impact I get to make. I love growing. Like, I'm 50. What do I got? 50, 30 more good years. Like, to leave more of a legacy, to make more of an impact, to show people they can go to another level, to give people an unfair advantage. I feel obligated. Not that I was blessed by God with this perfect trick, but I'm in a space where I get to impact people. I get to show them a better path. And I have a big audience. So I don't want to sleep. I don't want to not work. My life is staying healthy so I can work, work, work, work, work. Make an impact. Work smarter, not just harder. Be a great dad and be an example for my children. Kids don't do what you say. They become who you are. And last is be a good fiance and future husband. Get married in a couple months. So my focus, really, like 90% of my focus in my life is my children, my fiance, my business, and my health and a lot of other things outside that. Just, there's no time for it. And that's okay because it makes me happy, it makes my family happy. And I think that's what we all have to do, is we all have to find what success means to us. And sometimes it took me to my 40s to figure that out. So that's my message on health. How do you avoid burnout? So you're going, going, going. My experience is that's it's kind of unsustainable if I don't 100% love what I do. But explain that to me. So how do you avoid burnout? I would think when I see burnout, I think, and this is a really hard one to say because there's so many of you that might watch this and say, I'm in something I don't like. It's temporary. But I would find a way to trick your brain to say whatever it is that you're currently working on or anything that you're doing is just part of the path to get to what you're really supposed to do. And then you can trick yourself to say, this isn't waste. This isn't a waste of my time. This isn't a waste of my energy. I'm working in this job because it's building the grit. It's building the muscle. I'm learning what I shouldn't do, or I'm learning what I should do. I'm failing forward, and it's all part of the design for me to have a better life. I didn't feel this way in my 20s. I worked hard in my 20s. I got burned out a lot in my 20s and 30s. But I think having a big enough purpose, a big enough why, a big enough passion. I know all those words have been kind of played out, but I truly do love what I do. I don't want anybody to ever tell me how I can parent. Like, I want to be the dad I want to be. I want to. Like, literally right now, I'm flying to Florida to speak at Wealth Mastery. We're going to go on a trip together. The camera here for one of the first times, we're going to go to Wealth Mastery and I chartered Flying Private. One of the main reasons I'm flying private is because my kids are the number one priority in my life. That's my success. That fills my heart. It keeps me driving. So I'm giving Telnet for a reason. I will jump on a plane now. I'll fly to Florida. I'll speak on stage tomorrow, rock the house, get up early the next day, and I'm going to fly from Florida all the way to California. Not all the way. I'll fly from Florida to California. I'll land, I'll see my daughter because the next day she goes to summer camp for a week, and there's no way I'm going to not see her before she goes to camp for a week. So I'm flying to Florida, going to land, going to get in a car, drive an hour and a half, take her to her camp, spend time with her, eat a little lunch at camp, leave, get back in the car, fly back here, and I'll do all those things without losing one bit of energy, one bit of stamina, one bit of drive. Because there's no way, like, my motivation is what success means to me is when my daughter waves by to me when she's going off to camp. That's worth sleepless nights. That's worth pushing through. How do I get to send her to that camp? How do I get to fly private to get there so I don't miss her? And again, I don't want to because some of you watching might be years away from this, right? But I will continue to work, continue to motivate. I'm writing my new book, I'm presenting on stage Tony Robbins, and I have the new trainings. I mean, I've 15, 12 different companies right now. I don't burn out because I know what success means to me. I love what I do. And I feel like there's not even enough time in a day. I want to keep going. Now, again, did that happen in my 20s and 30s? No. It was over time. I learned what to say no to. I learned not to surround myself with people who drained my life. I learned not to focus on projects that don't light up my soul. But I had to do a lot of shitty stuff in my life. I had to do the wrong things. I had to work with partners I didn't like. I had to accept bullshit, for lack of a better word. I had. I had to work on cars. I drove tow trucks. I worked until 4 o' clock in the morning on houses. And I'd get up and work on cars during the day. I did the things I didn't like so I could do the things someday I would. But here's the thing. I didn't necessarily know it when I was in it that someday I'd be at this place. Now that I look back, I realize that God, the universe, whatever you believe in. I had to do all that. I had to suffer, I had to struggle. But what I did have is I had focused, I had vision that someday I would have that life. And that made all the difference. Is like, now that I look back, thank God I was a mechanic. Thank God I fixed cars. Thank God I drove tow trucks. Thank God I had partners screw me over. Thank God I went through bad relationships. Thank God my parents were married and divorced nine times. I'm a better dad. I have more values, I have more structure. I've become a better human being because of all of those experiences. I guess that's the best way. That's a long answer to a short question. Hi, guys. I am lisa palacios, dean's fiance. My love, will you please turn the AC on? No, honey, we need you really hot back there. Okay, Perfect.
