S3 E24 - Give vs. Greed Systems

What is the rule of rules? The takeaway of takeaways. The pro tips of pro tips to scaling your income, to scaling your heart. To magnifying your outreach and impact. We are going to share the rule of rules in this final episode of season three, Broke to woke with Brittany, Faith Turner, and myself.

Optimizing assets. That's what we discussed in the last episode. And we brought up an individual's most important asset, one of the most important assets. A way to skip levels, a way to truly walk in your calling, a way to be a force multiplier. Your network is your net worth.

Yeah.

And we all know that. How do you use your network to better the world?

Well, if you're speaking of my network, I have had to actually go create a network born and sponsored by frustration.

As usual, a lot of good things have come out of my frustration, and the top one was my irritation. As I'm trying to learn and grow up in the business world how to be successful. I was told by pretty much everybody, even the people I hunted down and asked to be my mentors, that I cared too much about people. I cared too much about the planet. And because of that, I would never be profitable. I make too many decisions thinking about others. And I was like, I feel like they're wrong. I feel like it can be done to where you can care and you can weave your purpose, just like we talked about in the last episode, into every part of what you do. And so they said, nope, you have to be a nonprofit. So after 10 years, maybe 11, of figuring this out on my own, insecure as all get out, that potentially I'm getting something wrong, really, the thought in my head was, I guess they teach you all this stuff in college. And so because I didn't go to college, I must have it so much harder because I don't know how to do this or this in real estate development or finance or flipping or managing contractors, and I'm like, gosh, you didn't go to college.

You can't be that smart.

They have to teach you all this in college because it can't be this hard for everybody.

I went through insecure that maybe I am wrong. Maybe I don't know how to make money in a normal business way. Now for 10 years and being able to generate tens to hundreds of millions of dollars, I was like, maybe I have figured out something. I do think a little different. But the difference is starting from at the absolute root of creation of everything that we've built. It starts with a give system.

And a Lot of the business owners that I wanted to that were successful, quote unquote and people I even looked to learn from which were good people, it was still a greed system and it was still having to take to make versus this abundance approach. And so yes, it was much harder. But this give system is like I think the secret formula to scaling like beyond your own wildest dreams because it's attached to all the good you want to do in the world. And so I started G force, which stands for force for good entrepreneurs to be able to learn together, go through hard times together. Meet. We meet every single week for two weeks. Jeremy Newsom speaks on what's going on in stocks and how can we again invest to be able to create different streams of income, to be able to fund our purpose. So it's been one of the most fulfilling things I've ever done because a lot of force for good people have these big hearts and again they get lost or stuck in things that I got lost or stuck in. And so if we can help remove those roadblocks mentally resource wise or sharing contacts, then the good humans of the world can get a lot farther. What's your thought been on the group? You've been with us since almost the very beginning. Yeah, very close to it, of course. Hugely influential in the group. We just adore you being a member.

Thank you. Thank you. So you're right. And it's a mastermind specifically. It's a masterful creation and group of individuals who know that the purpose is bigger than a collective individual. It's a combination of people who want to scale and live in that give system to determine ultimately how they can multiply their success, multiply their giving and do it in a way that is purely prosperous. I love being a part of GeForce. I love, I mean the people that I've met, the networks I've built, the friendships I've created and crafted, the benefits have come directly into my life in all forms. Both relationships, business, marketing ideas, real estate, business contacts. Just elevation of everything that I do has absolutely spurred massively from being a part of this group. And what I want to impart on our listeners is you did this out of frustration. Fun fact. Our listeners can do the exact same.

Yes.

You can also create your own group. It would be easier to join GeForce.

Only if they're aligned. You know, join the group that's aligned for you.

Yeah, join it or create it. Build one if you need to. Find out a way that you can create an aligned tribe of people that know and are Passionate about what you know and are passionate about.

Mm.

Get them together, get them to pour into and to expand and to generate. And the ideas that come from these group settings, the friendships that come and the creations that come. This is the magic that a lot of people skip out on because it takes time and money.

Well, we accidentally started the beginning of COVID and almost every member either doubled or quadrupled their income during 2020. One of the times in history that people were just getting knocked out of the game left and right. But being able to pool ideas of people that viewed such a catastrophic event as a potential opportunity to help more people found ways to take their businesses and help other people. For example, there was a catering company who obviously was knocked out of the game because events were shut down. Well, guess what's not shut down at the beginning of COVID The huge lines at hospitals and the need for more doctors and patients literally set up in parking lots. And the need for healthy food to be served. Immunity boosting food to be served in these huge long lines so people can start fighting the sickness and beating it on their own. Because we didn't have vaccines, we didn't even have a lot of information in the beginning. So people were dying right in line. So they were able to transform their skill sets, keep their employees and actually grow exponentially. Getting government contracts, free money, feeding hospitals. And that was an idea. Somebody's literally showed up to the call completely defeated, sat in the hot seat and got advice from all these amazing entrepreneurs, just brainstorming with them. More than advice, just like ideas. And one idea can change everything for you. And having somebody else be able to speak life into your business. But coming from that same heart that you have of I'm not here to take advantage of people, so you're not going to self sabotage. We're the same values, but I can see things you can't because you're scared. You know, whatever it is that you're scared of, it could be Covid, it could be an economic fallout, could be real estate's height, real estate's low. Like whatever the war is going on at the time, I guarantee you if I sat down and like looked at your business with you, I could find places you could be more effective and you could take or leave my advice if you wanted to. Or my idea, of course. Right.

She threw her on the G word, by the way, folks. Guaranteed.

Guaranteed.

And there's also times not to really belabor this point, but even in certain real estate deals, you've thrown around that word and You've showed up and said this is a guarantee and if this doesn't happen, this will occur. Right. This is the.

And if this doesn't, then this precisely right, Precisely.

So the reason I was bringing that up is because that is the power you can guarantee in circles like this. When you get enough aligned, heart centered, integrity filled, passionate, incredible individual souls who want to prosper in all times, good or bad. When you get people like that together, that's what creates change. Those small communities, that was a quote that Margaret Thatcher mentioned. Don't ever assume that a small community can ever change the world because in fact, that's all whoever has. So when you're talking about these masterminds, I can absolutely without question.

Know the character of somebody by how many groups they're in and what type of groups they're in.

Absolutely.

And how often they are there and how much time they pour into. Could be once a month, it can be once a quarter. But really, when I'm gonna use the word self audit, I love that term. Go through and ask yourself, what kind of meetings can you be in? What kind of networks can you be a part of? Find a skill that you need to boost. What skill can be better? You have to have one.

The Real Estate Investors association of Nashville hates when I tell this story. But I was so broke when I first started that I literally like scouted the place and I didn't have $20 to come to a meeting. So I scouted the place and snuck in in between meetings and like pretended, you know, which is terrible. But I was so desp to be around other people that do the things I want to do, think the way I want to think, are growing and living what my future dream state. And at that time it was real estate investors. And I just needed so badly to be in a frame of mind of seeing it done. So I know you've got your trading room which is telling you. Tell the listeners more about that. What is the benefit of being in a group like that for people who are looking at getting into stocks?

Absolutely. Thank you. So real life trading, we developed a community, a very close knit community of very philanthropic giving. I use the word heart centered individuals who want to trade the markets actively. So imagine you are trading an ira, you're trading an account, you are an individual who either wants to retire, you are retired, you're a human being. If you're a human being listening to this, you can trade the stock market. So imagine you're a human for a second and you have some money and you're like, I would like to grow this money actively, but I don't know how. I haven't really done it before. I haven't spent tons of time learning. I don't really know what to do. I have developed a community of people that truly and literally hold your hand, guide you through the steps of this is where I'm buying. This is why I'm selling. This is why I'm doing what I'm doing. It's not, watch me make money and oh, how exciting is this? It's let me show you what I'm doing. Let me show you why I'm doing it.

Yeah.

That educational process is a immersive experience. So smart when you need to really, really accelerate what you're doing. If it's learning a new language, one of my goals in life is to learn French to a relatively decent degree. I know Spanish to a lesser degree than I should, but it's better than zero. I know nine words in Russian, and I need to continue to beef up certain language skills, but I love especially that one. Yeah, I really need.

You have somebody in your household that only speaks Russian.

I need to get it to at.

Least 12 Russian speakers.

12 words. I need to beef it up to 12 words.

Do it.

That is an immersive opportunity for me, knowing when I need to do this. I'm gonna go and live in places that speak Russian, places that speak French, places that speak Spanish.

That's the fastest way to do it. Of course you can Rosetta Stone it. And you can do one class a month for the rest of your life. But if you really want to grow rapidly, that's what we say is immersive experiences.

And we've mentioned it before. It's been mentioned a million times. This is probably the rule of rules, the pro tip of pro tips. Who you spend time with is who you become like. I mean, hello, everyone. Every book all the time sounds so.

Repetitive, but it's because.

Everybody says the same thing.

Yeah.

You don't understand your subconscious. You don't understand how the survival brain works. You understand all the ins and outs. Just know that that is a truth. And that is how. Show me your friends, I'll show you your destiny. Pitbull.

No, show me your friends, I'll show you your future. That's it.

Is that also Mr. 305?

Mr. 305. Yes.

Mr. Worldwide.

We'll see you here, Pitbull. But if we could wrap up everything we have ever shared with you, seasons one, two, three, it's. If you want to Go from broke to woke. If you want to transcend into becoming the person that you are called to be, to live your gift, to have fulfillment, to experience joy, then you've got to pick your village so that you can normalize that which you're seeking to grow into. So find the communities that most resonate with what you're looking to become. Reach out to us. We'd love to help you. We'd love to continue to grow in life with you and help you go from broke to woke.

Hope you enjoyed season three. We've loved having you. It's been an amazing journey. It's been an immersive experience. It's been a growing experience for Brittany and myself. One of our favorite things to do is go back and actually listen to these because when we are creating them, and this is maybe just me, but I feel like I didn't really get to soak up everything Brittany said, and I have no idea what I'm saying. Most of the time, it just comes out. So I got to go back and we got. I got to listen to retake notes because it's really, really good regardless of who it's from.

Hey, how many times have we read certain books?

Yes.

Over and over again.

Yes.
