A motivational YouTube talk guiding listeners through discovering their personal core values and defining the legacy they want. The speaker emphasizes introspection (including a 'write your eulogy' exercise), recognizing how inherited values affect choices, and aligning personal life-purpose with business leadership to create long-term impact.
I would highly recommend him. He's kind of a no BS guy. The systems we put in place with him, we're looking at doing 400 transactions this year. To systematically increase your net worth is something that we never talk about. And then the fourth section is your core values. So now just dive in and find out who you are at your course. This is personal core values. So we're not translating this to the business yet. So as you go through this exercise, everything else today and tomorrow will be about your business. This time is about you personally. So you can kind of get on the fringes of business and how that feels in your life, but keep this to personal. So now we're going to dive deeper and find out who you are at your core. Some aspects of the value system that was given to you by whatever certain situations in your life or your parents or whatever, they've supported you in good and bad ways. Some have held you back. Your unique set of values, principles or standards define what is important to you in life. But some are affecting our choices in ways that we don't intend or want them to. And so as a business leader, you have to figure out how these might be negatively impacting your business, especially when you're leading others. And that's the tougher work. That is a little bit. It's just not easy looking at yourself when you're thinking about how you may be impacting others negatively. And this session and the fourth session are kind of looking at some of your weaknesses. And it's not a getting down on yourself, but more just an awareness on how you can kind of put a light on some of your shadows. So don't get, don't get, you know, feel like you have to be perfect or you know, kind of self blame kind of thing. And this, this is the time where, you know, you can really dream in a way that you probably have never dreamed before. So don't let those things that seem crazy or deeply held desires, you know, don't keep those off the table because they seem outlandish. This is the deepest thing you will do this next session. So hang on for this one. So there's an exercise in here called writing your eulogy. Who has done that before? About 10 people. It's really cool. It's not cool to think of death, right? But to think of how this might be another time where I cry. So my father passed away, you know, and having like nobody, like there's no reason for service, you know, my mom was there, she'd been divorced from him for 37 years. But she was there with us, me and my sister. And it's like, that's it. And, like, maybe two friends that we had to call, you know, and that is not how you want to end your life. So this is a cool thing. You get to, like, think of, like, man, when I'm, you know, mine is 92, I'm going to die. When I'm 92, I've already. It's a goal of mine, which is a good number, but then by then they'll probably live to 150. So at the time where you think. And we did an exercise, a version of this a year ago where we thought of it, and then, what if we could live an extra 25 years? And this is kind of like that. This is writing your eulogy. So to. I wouldn't know what I could write about my dad if I had to write a eulogy for him. But if you had the chance to write it now and then work toward it, that's just a cool thing to be able to do. But it's pretty freaking deep, right? It's not many times we slow down. I mean, maybe when you're buying life insurance, that's the only time you're like, well, honey, if I die, I want you to. But besides that, I don't think we think about what it's going to be like when we die. And so this is deep stuff. You're going to come back from this, and you're going to feel exhausted. Then we're going to eat some food and get out in the sunshine, and then we'll do some really good stuff in the afternoon. So think about what it's like the day that your loved ones are speaking about you, what truly mattered to you, and what would they say about you? If your business is truly inside of your life, then thinking about what your life was about will help you make some connection, connections into the drivers of your business. So for me, this process was about, like, how cool would it be if I had, you know, hundreds of coaching clients come to my funeral, like, 30 years after I coached them, or 40 or 50 years after I coached them, their children come be like, man, I remember your dad talking about you. And, you know, like, that's way different. And just thinking of that, it just helps me serve in a different way. And. And in my team, it'd be like, man, it'd be so cool that 10 people that came through my team went on to blow it out in other industries or compete with me in my market. So it really helps you view your life differently, and it comes right back into your business. So this exercise will help you start making changes to live more in alignment with the person you truly want to be. I mean, it's so easy to say, like when you're on your deathbed, you're not going to be worried about if you sold another home or whatnot, but did you deeply serve your children and those sorts of things? So don't hold back. This will give you a better understanding of the hero's journey you're on. The clearer the end goal, the easier to chart the course to get there. By writing your eulogy and defining the life you want to be remembered for, you'll have a new compass as you move through every challenge.
