Rise and thrive! It is very early.
Welcome to FIRE Hour. We are very excited to be here today with you all. FIRE Hour is gonna be a little bit different this time around, and it's with the highest and greatest intention for the person who's on here today. For you, it's all about you today and moving forward for the rest of the FIRE Hour sessions. It's always gonna be about you. It's gonna be about achieving wealth in all aspects of your life, really going after your goals and dreams, dominating your path, and living life on your own terms, whatever that may be. This is gonna be a working session. I want you to take notes. I want you to participate if you want to. I want you to set your intentions to live your best life starting today. Today is your day one. Today is a new beginning. Forget about yesterday, forget about tomorrow. It's all about the now. It's about today. It's about your intentions, what you're focused on, what goals you want to accomplish, what life you want to live. Whatever the thing that you want to do, whatever ideas you have, whatever keeps you up at night, Whatever is in your mind, your dreams, your heart, the vision that you have for yourself, every day starting from today moving forward, you're going to be able to do it. You're going to be able to accomplish it. You're going to be able to live your best life, live life on your own terms. Now when it comes to setting intentions, right, we're going to just get right into this. It's 6:03. There's no time to waste. Something that Crystal and I learned about a month, 2 months ago, is from— it's billionaires, okay? It's billionaire advice. It's about time. I had our children look up how much does a billionaire make every minute and every second. It ranges between $2,000 per second to $10,000 a minute and more and more. And it just— it's, it's insane, okay? But the most important thing about that is the time, okay? Keep in mind Everyone has the same 24 hours no matter what. How come someone at that level is making that much money in the same amount of time as us, right? It's about opportunity. It's about building that business. It's about creating more impact. It's about providing as much value as possible to the market, to helping other people impact their lives, to make their lives easier, to make their lives better, to improve their environment. Their circumstances, their mindset, their philosophies. There's so many things out there that you can do, but it just depends on what you want to do, what you want to achieve, the level ambition that you have. And not only that, what is in your reality that you truly believe you can accomplish? And guess what? Here's a secret. This is what I learned from someone that's making that type of income, that's living a lifestyle that they have dreamed of, is that it's possible, is that it's just about your imagination. It's about being able to turn that dream machine back on to really visualize and write out with specificity that, or with specific details of how you want to live your life. It's possible, 100%. There's people out there who have done it. There's people that you may know who are living their life on their own terms. They're living their dream lifestyle. Guess what? Why not us? Why not you? Right? So when it comes to that side, right, that's finances. We're talking about wealth in all aspects of our life— health, right, relationships, your family life, work life, your— what— how do you balance everything, right? What about your relationship? If you are in a relationship right now, what about the relationship with yourself, right? There's so many things that we can talk about, but we are going to talk about that. We're going to be able to map out every single layer, every single element of your life, because your life is colorful. It's not black and white. You have so many things, passions, ideas, habits, things you just want to lay down and just rest for a little bit, right? There's so many things that we can do. But again, the step number 1 is what is your intention, right? What is your intentions for your life today? Again, I want to encourage you that it's just Day one. It's your now. It's your new beginning. No matter what happened yesterday, it doesn't matter. No matter what happened in your dreams, it doesn't matter. Start to be intentional now. Be present in the now and start to really go after what you really want. So, opportunity. Yes, opportunity, opportunity. There is, there's something called now. No opportunities wasted. That was on the very first business card that I ever had in 2013. Now, no opportunities wasted. I have a picture of it too, but we're gonna go over that when it comes to intentions. Okay? When it comes to your intentions, what do you want? Right? I, I really wanna encourage you all, wherever you're watching this from, take notes, right? Take notes and let your learning lead to action. It's only the actions that are gonna help you manifest your goals and dreams into your reality. It's up to you. It's gonna take work, okay? We're gonna talk about the hero's journey on today's call. The hero's journey. That's why I said it's all about you. It's about the person who is here now, present in the moment, fired up, willing, willing and able to take massive action to dominate your path, to live life on your terms. So when it comes to intentions, do you want to share anything?
When it comes to intentions, yeah. So, um, you know, when you have a goal, you always want to be intentional, right? But you have to think of what is my goal, what do I really want, and always have the intention that everything you do is just singularly focused on that goal. So being intentional throughout your everyday, as opposed to like just waking up and doing your normal routine, right? Like sometimes we wake up we just get into this routine that we just have like our habits that we do every single day. With intention, you really want to think about what your overall goal is. And every day wake up and you have to think like, this is my goal today, this is going to be my goal every day until I get it. And with everything that you do, always ask yourself, is this getting me closer to my goal or further from my goal? And when you start to wake up with intentions every single day and you have your goal at the forefront of your mind, you're always going to think, is this going to get me closer or further? So I'm going to challenge you guys to actually start asking yourself, what is it that I want? What is my goal? And how can I live intentionally every single day going towards that? And every day ask yourself, like, am I getting closer to that goal that I set? And everything you do really have the intention with that goal focused in mind.
100%. And let's actually map it out. If you're taking notes right now, which I encourage you to do, this is for you.
This is for you unless you're driving. If you're driving, don't take notes, just keep driving.
Rewatch it and boom, let your learning lead to action. Okay, so this is your intentions, right? Everyone will have intentions. Whatever your intentions is, You don't have to share it publicly. What I've found is that if you really want to manifest something into your reality, you want to store up all that energy. And then from that— so I learned from Crystal— and then from there, take action, do it. And then once it's out there into your reality, then you may share it. The reason for that though, it's on the— there's so many other things, but on the energetic side, you know, I have personally found that when I speak less I do more. And so really holding in that energy, putting it in and focusing on the thing that I want to accomplish, on the thing that I want to achieve, on the thing that I want to bring into my reality, I just channel all that energy into that. Boom, it happens. Okay, so it's real. And I know for a fact that if you just remember any times where you really put your focus and your intention and your energy towards something that you truly wanted it became your reality. True or not true, right? So with your intentions, I really want you and encourage you to ensure that first get crystal clear on what you want to focus on, on what you want to achieve. Like what Crystal was saying, get your intentions right, because when you put that out there, when you put that into the forefront of your mind, when your eye is on the prize, when you are seeing it, guess what? It's happening. It's happening. You're bringing it. You're pulling it into your reality, into your existence. And then from there, being able to channel all that focus and energy towards that one thing, right? We're gonna be talking about this right now, but I want you to put this on your notes if you want to. Starting point, right? A, this is where you are currently and this is where you want to go, right? Just A to B. Super simple. What is the fastest way, right? What is the fast way to get from A to B? It's just this right here, this dash right here. What is this dash for you? This is your path. Okay, we're going to talk about the hero's journey today. It's so— the— I don't know if you guys know about the hero's journey, but the hero's journey— I, I did a training on this like 2 years ago, actually, a private training on the hero's journey. It was the first time I ever learned about the hero's journey, and then speaking on it, it brought a whole different feeling to me, a whole different understanding as I was going through the motions of the hero's journey, specifically with everyone that I was talking to. And guess what? Every single person here is on that hero's journey, and we're gonna talk about that in a few minutes. So A, this is where you're at today. Where do you want to go in the future? What future do you want to pull into your, your reality this year, right? In the next 90 days, in the next 18 months, whatever that may be for you. What— don't— you don't have to limit that timeline. Just say, I want this. This is what is for me. I desire this. I can pull this into my reality. This is something that I can live. This is the life I'm living already. Act as if you are there. We're going to talk about the 3 frameworks, and I'm so excited. I'm fired up right now. Very excited.
He woke up very early this morning.
A, B. All right, this right here, this is where you really want to put your intentions. Okay, have this as the crystal clear clarity, right? Get that crystal clear vision for yourself. Get that 100% to the detail. Okay, the more— this is like one of, one of, uh, what one of my wise friends once told me. Okay, he's my— he's one of my guides, he's one of my mentors. He said this, he said The person who can visualize the end in mind and work their way backwards, each step, okay, each step of the way, a clear path will be shown to you. And now all of you, all you have to do is go like this: one foot in front of the other, one foot in front of the other on that path. Being able to have this clear, okay, crystal clear, having your vision You can literally see it as if you're looking out the window. This right here is everything. You want to work with the end in mind. Start with the end in mind. What is that life that you want to live? Again, Fire Hour, right? Achieving wealth in all aspects of your life, living life on your own terms, dominating your path. That's what Fire Hour is all about, okay? It's transformation. Your life change. This is for you 100%. And it's up to you. What is your mission? Yes, guess what? This right here, make this your mission. Make the end in mind your mission. This is your purpose. This is the reason why you're here. This is why you exist. What is that for you? Okay, get crystal clear on this. Write it out. Maybe not right now, maybe right now, who knows? Okay, whatever you're feeling, let it, let it flow. Once you get crystal clear right here, the path, the path is going to start to show itself. Okay, the path will start to show itself, and this is what the path looks like. It is like this. It's an uphill battle. It is something that will challenge you, like what Crystal was saying. You have to push back to it. What goals and dreams do you really want to accomplish? You have to fight for it. You have to fight for it. The things that you want to pull into your reality is not— it's, it's— oh my gosh, we gotta get into that. Okay, guess what? This right here is the steps. It's an uphill battle. No matter what you do, never quit. No matter what you do, never quit. Okay, this right here, whatever you're imagining, whatever you're visualizing, whatever your goal or dream is, because you imagined it, it's real. Okay, because you can imagine it, it's real. Just know that. Don't let any of the naysayers say otherwise. Don't let anyone who's a closet hater say otherwise. Don't let any of the negative energy say otherwise. Don't let any opposition say otherwise. You can do it. If you imagined it, you can pull it into your reality 100%. Okay, this right here, reverse engineer the steps. The, the path will show you the way, and then from there, this is where you're at. Who, okay, who are you today? I'm going to share with you something that I taught my children, okay? It's 3— I call it the 3 steps to manifest your reality, all right? I just made that up right now.
I know, like, when did you teach them that? Where was I?
But yeah, you weren't here. I actually taught them this and I did the whiteboard and everything because I was teaching— because we had a family meeting, right? For us, we have, we have 3 children. We want to work as a unit. Together with our family. We just like fire hour, we actually have fire hours for our children, okay? I know it sounds maybe different, but guess what? I care about my future. I care about my children's future. I care about their well-being. I care about their lifestyle. I care about their mindset. I care about their health. I care about putting into perspective for them what is possible, okay? So that's why I I provide trainings for our children. I want to ensure that they know that they can lean on us. I want to ensure that they have role models like us that they can look up to. I want to ensure that and inspire them that whatever they want to dream and imagine, they can pull it into their reality. Okay, they can do it. It's possible. It is possible. I love the comments. It's not strange at all. We do this for our family too. There's so many. I love that.
But your name is way better for it. And why not make a name, right? Like when you're having talks with your kids, why not make a name for that family meeting? Something that maybe you guys all agree to, or you guys can all come together and be like, this is fire hour time, or this is whatever your family wants to call it. But also be super intentional with what are we teaching our kids, right? And if you have a partner in your life, great. You know, you guys have to come together. You guys have to have your values established before you could actually, you know, bring it to your children. So you guys are usually on the same page. If you're single, great. Then everything that you do is like what you decide you want to do, right?
So yeah, especially if you don't have children right now. One thing that— one lesson I really learned, it goes back, it goes back to time, okay? Self-mastery, self-management. Time management, right? Time management is just self-mastery. That's really what it is. So when it came to children, have— like, I really did not know the value of time until I had children. It's— I'm like, every parent knows, all right? I had no idea.
Especially mothers.
Especially mothers. Yeah, I have so much respect for mothers because, again, there's this one video on YouTube for Mother's Day. It was like a commercial but it was all about like, they were basically interviewing a bunch of different people for a position. And when they sat down in front of other people, they would ask them, the interviewers, they would ask them like, hey, like, so are you able to not sleep for 24 hours? Are you able to multitask on many different tasks? Are you able to feed yourself last? Are you like all these things, right?
No vacations, no sick days, no paid time off.
Yeah. And then the reaction and responses of the people that were being interviewed they were like, is that even real? Is that, is that legal? Can people actually do it? Like what, how much does this pay? Right? All these things. And guess what the answers were? It's free. There's zero pay. There's zero reward for it. There's all these things. And why? It was because that's what a mother does. That's what a mother does. So if you're a mother, right? If you're a mother, like take, take this moment right now. Just for yourself. Take this moment for yourself to pat yourself on the back, to give yourself love, to provide that value that you always provide for your children. Like, that's something special. That is something to be grateful for. That is something— if you're a mother, like, there's no words, you know? Like, love yourself. Love yourself. Pour that love into yourself. You deserve it. 100%.
Yep. Hardest and best job ever. Hardest job ever, for sure.
Absolutely. Okay, so let's go into the 3. Did you, did you pour into yourself? All right, good. Okay, let's go into the 3 steps to manifest your reality. All right, this right here is vital. This is vital to getting to this. Okay, I'm going to share with you what we, we— well, I shared with the kids.
Yeah, did you, did you record that? Did you document it? Because I missed it.
I did. Be, do, have. Be, do, have. The secret to manifesting anything that you want. This is what I found to be true. Be, do, have. Let me ask you a question. Whatever this is for you, the B, okay, whatever this is for you, keep it in your mind right now. What is that goal, that dream, that vision? What do you want to pull into your reality? What do you want your life to be like right now? What lifestyle do you want to live? Where do you want to live? What clothes do you want to wear? How do you want to feel? Who do you want to be surrounded by? What's the next vacation you want to take?
I was just thinking that.
I know, I felt it, I felt it.
And you guys could pop it in the chat, um, if you want to.
How much money do you want to make? What food do you want to eat?
Everything.
There's so many things, okay? We can, we can go on and on and on. Whatever this is for you, keep this in your mind right now. I'm gonna ask you a question because this right here is something you don't have right now, right? Ask yourself this: who are you today? Who are you right now? How do you identify yourself as Now I'm going to ask you the next question. Who do you need to be? Who do you need to be in order to get to here? Who do you need to be in order to get to here? It requires a different version of yourself. Yep. Because if you were here already, who you are today Who you are today is not who you're going to be in the future. That person that you're gonna be to pull this into your reality, to manifest your goals and dreams, to dominate your path, to live life on your own terms— who do you need to be to be here now? Focused, disciplined. Dig deep, dig deep. Who do you need to be So I'm going to talk to you the next thing, right? Be, do, have. This is in sequential order. This is a sequential order. Number 1 is be, number 2 is do, and number 3 is have. I'm going to share with you a secret. When you step into this, when you step into who you need to be, automatically and simultaneously and instantly you will have it automatically. That's what I've learned. That's what I've experienced. It's literally a state change. It's literally— you just step into that person. I'm telling you right now, it happens. It happens like that. In 2013, I'm going to share with you this, and then we're going to go into the hero's journey. In 2013, I had— it's either 2013 or 2012, forget, because I was working 2 jobs and 3 side hustles. I was so exhausted, tired. I just was sick and tired of being sick and tired. I wanted something different. I had goals and dreams and visions of becoming the best version of myself, stepping into that reality, not having to clock in to a job. I saw every single day from 4:00 AM to 4:00 PM San Diego Airport, all the people lining up, lining up in front of the store that I was working at, delivering them food, servicing food, being of service, making sure that they have their coffee, make sure they have their breakfast, making sure that they're fed, making sure that they're happy. Because most people are not happy at 2:30 AM in the morning. Guess what? My goal was to make sure that they left, left my position, left the cash register happy with a smile. Okay? That's what my goal was every single day, 7 days a week. Okay? Guess what? All I was thinking in the back of my mind as I was working from 4:00 AM or 2:30 AM, 4:00 AM to 4:00 PM is I just wanna go on whatever plane they're taking and go to the trip that they're going on. I don't wanna be behind this counter serving all this stuff. I don't wanna wake up and have to take the attitudes and the energies and all this nonsense of the world. What about me? How come I'm not on the plane? How come I can't afford that plane ride? How come they can wake up and I can't and they can go on the train, like on, on the plane ride and and go to wherever they're going all happy and joyful. And I'm here just exhausted, sick and tired of being sick and tired, working for $8 per hour at the time, right? Guess what? I had a vision and a goal and a dream of not being there anymore. Opportunity came my way. I said yes. I immediately stepped into that opportunity because I had a different vision for myself. I had a different path that unfolded. I had something different that came my way, and I said yes to it. I encourage you to say yes to your opportunities. I encourage you to say yes to your visions, to your goals, to your dreams, whatever that may be. Say yes now. Automatically, you're one step closer to being here. Okay, when I said yes, the hero's journey, the call to adventure opened up for me. I started to meet different people at different levels. I started to experience support and guidance. I started to see a different journey for myself. I started to have hope again. I started to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I started to understand that life— I can have the life I want. I can live the life I want. I can be the person I want to be. Guess what? That was the challenging part. It was who did I need to be after that? Once I understood that I can have this, once I said this is what I want, I truly want it, I made my decision, my intentions was set on it. Guess what? That's when the work began. That's when the work began. That's when everything started to push against me. That's when I lost all my friends. I lost all the support. I lost, you know, I, I be— it's the— gosh, I got NFL.
The NFL. You taught me that.
Yeah. There's so many things. Okay. It was a very trying time for me, but guess what? Within the, the, the challenges, the trials and tribulations, that's where your success is going to lie. You have to go through that path, okay? This path right here. So be— once you become this, who— whoever that is, automatically start to do what that person does, okay? Let's say for example you want to make a million dollars. You are a millionaire now. What does a millionaire do? What does a millionaire do? Right? If you're a millionaire right now, you're being— what does a millionaire do automatically? It's automatic, it's instinct. That's why I said once you understand who you need to be from here, who you need to be for that, you automatically do it. And then because you're automatically doing those actions, now you have it. It's that simple. Okay, that's what I taught to our children. Be, do, have. So one of our children, they want to be a model. And then guess what? They stepped it up to saying, I want to be a K-pop star. Okay, guess what? I asked them this question. Okay, if you want to be a K-pop star, what does a K-pop star do? What do they do? So guess what? She went to research, she went on YouTube, she started to self-study, self-educate, learn from the best of the best. One of the frameworks is to learn from the top, right? If you're going to learn from anybody, in whatever field that may be. Who is the top of the top of that game? Learn from them. And if you can get in proximity with that person, then guess what? Your learning curve is going to get cut instantly just because they already have been there. They can show you every single step of the way. 2015, 2015, I was already on my entrepreneurial path. I was already having my goals and my visions. I didn't know at the time about Lamborghinis. I didn't know at the time about Rolls-Royces. I didn't know at that time about private jets. All I knew was that I didn't have to trade my time for money. I didn't have to work 8 hours or 12 hours a day for $8 an hour, right? I, I, I didn't have to be the bottom of the food chain anymore because I already knew that there was a better way. 2015. Okay, this is me 2 years into my entrepreneurial journey now. I learn about someone that is considered now a marketing legend, okay? That's, that's just from like my network that I've heard that them say. But 2015, one of my best friends, he is at a conference. I see it on Instagram, and at the time I don't, I don't have like an iPhone. I have a freaking flip phone that like you, I don't know, you close it and yes, flip. Anyways, I see on my Instagram, hashtag mentor, hashtag conference, hashtag and a name. I look, it's my best friend at a conference, a mentorship conference, a business conference. And on the stage there is my former mentor, Tai Lopez. He's speaking. My best friend at the time never told me who his mentor was. He was always saying, my mentor this, my mentor that. I am learning from this mentor. He never even met this person, this guy in person. He just kept on saying, my mentor this, my mentor that. I finally find out about it. And then 4 months later, cuz that was January, in April of 2015, the last thing that my friend says to me, because he was going to medical school, is no matter what you do, if you can learn from this guy, then just say yes and do it. 2 months later, I get the opportunity to work for that guy. All right, 2015.
June.
So I said yes. I'm in San Diego. I say yes to an opportunity that I cannot refuse, right? This is already part of my path. Guess what? I take the next step and I move. I moved to San Diego— to Los Angeles, and I start to work for this guy named Tai Lopez. Guess what happens? I was already at the time, from 2013 to 2015, up until that point, I was learning from 7-figure earners. People who already made $1 million. Okay, I was only learning from people who made $1 million, but they never made 10, right? Guess what? When I started to learn from my former mentor, I started to see a completely different vision. I started to see how big you can actually dream. I started to understand what entrepreneurship is really all about. I started to see like what lifestyle you can actually live because I was living it there. I was living it there because I had a guide, I had a mentor, I had someone that was already living that life, and I was helping them execute that lifestyle, sustain it, and scale it. That's what I was doing for 2 years. So guess what? I say this for a reason. It's because no matter what you do in your life, when you decide to have a bigger vision for yourself, you're gonna— it's gonna require assistance, it's gonna require guidance, it's gonna require support.. It's gonna require proximity. It's gonna require different level of associations. It's gonna require for you to do the work to change and be that next person, that next level person for yourself, whatever that may be, whatever this is for you. Okay? So when I start to work for him, I start to see the celebrity lifestyle. I started to see the come up even before he became an influencer. I started to see what it required to make 8 figures. I started to see what happened every single day in between, behind the scenes, all how, how people talk to each other, how operations worked, how all the departments needed to work together in unison to make things happen. I started to see everything. I started to see how much refunds, how much the amount of refunds. Okay, imagine right now that you had to refund $300,000. Today, in this instant, in 10 seconds, what would that do for you right now? $300,000, right? There is levels to this game when it comes to the financial aspect of it. That's just the finance though, right? There's so many other things that we're going to talk about too. But again, if someone can refund $300,000, right, if someone can refund that then someone can gain it as well. Okay, I'm just showing you that as one of the examples. There's so many things out there. When we acquired the auto shop, right, I'm not gonna say numbers, but it was over— I don't know, I don't know if you want to say it or not. Anyways, that right there, like, there's, there's levels to it. There's people in the audience that have spent more than that, probably. There's people in the audience that have never made that kind of money. There's people in the audience that, that's their dream. For me, I wanted to dream about making 6 figures when I was making $8 an hour, and then it became a reality in the future. Okay, so there's so many things that you can do. It's just, it's possible. That's what I'm just saying. Okay, be, do, have. Once you understand, once you understand who you need to be here, this automatically happens. And I'm going to tell you the time frame: 90 days to 18 months. It's possible, 90 days to 18 months. If you guys take out your phone or use your laptop and you go to resurrectionmedia.com/firehour, I'm going to show you guys something. So this is what it is I'm showing you right here. It's on the website.
11—
so November 1st, 2018 to April 26, 2020. This is Crystal's, uh, back office for one team sales for one of the businesses. $1,419,620. Okay, that was about 17 months. That was a 17-month run right there, from zero to $1.4 million. 17 months. Like I said before, the time frame, 18 months. Life change can happen that fast. It just depends on who you are, what you do, to get what you want, to get what you have. Okay, guess what? I, I come into her life 4/28/2020, right? April 28, 2020, the very first Fire Hour session happened. 18 months after that training, from $1.4 million to $10.9 million. Okay, 18-month time frame. What happened in those 18 months? What happened in that time frame? Guess what? April 28th, 2020 to— what was it, August? No, July, something July, something, something like July 27th or something like that, or August 13th, something like that. It was 84 days and we together added $900,000 in 90 days. Yeah, what took from zero to $1.4 million, 17 months. In 90 days we did $900,000. Focus, intentions, set your intentions on the goals. You can do it, it's possible. 18 months, 18-month time frame. After 18 months, 9— so from $1.4 million to $10.9 million, right? And we had— we didn't even do the year-to-date, but it's over $16 million. Okay, it's over. I don't know what it is now.
Team Sales.
Team Sales. So guess what? It's revenue, right? It's revenue. That's, that's cool. There are businesses out there that never cross the million-dollar mark revenue. There's business out there that never crossed the $10 million mark revenue. Guess what? It is possible. 100%. 90 days, 18 months.
Intentional. Very, very intentional.
It's possible. You are in the right room. Fire Hour is this. It's transformation. It's life change. From that, these 18 months, uh, what was it? Your— the dreams, like all the dreams came true. Like G-Wagon came true. I forget the, the term for it, but people were buying their houses, their dream homes. People were buying their dream cars. People were going on vacation. People were living their life of their dreams. Lifestyle change happened. Transformation happened. Guess what? If you know, you know. All right, so that's what Fire Hour is all about. This is for anyone who wants to accomplish something different, who wants to live life on their own terms, who wants to dominate their path. Again, it's possible. Look around, there's living proof you can do it. I came from freaking the ghetto, the hood, $8 per hour. Like, now I don't have to clock in. I don't have to clock in anymore. That's because that's for me, that's my path. Your path might be different. Maybe you enjoy clocking in at a job. You work full-time on your job and part-time on your fortune, right? Jim Rohn, that is one of the quotes that helped give me hope in life. Work full-time on your job and then part-time on your fortune, because one day that fortune might become your full-time thing. It's possible, okay? So I encourage you, for those of you who don't know who Jim Rohn is, I encourage you to listen to Jim Rohn. I encourage you, he's one of the guides, one of your supports, one of the mentors, one of the people that can help you get from point A to point B. Okay, so we do have— we're gonna move on to the hero's journey because this is all about you. Yes, it was Tony Robbins' mentor, right? It is possible. This fire hour is intentional. The mission is to change one life. Exactly, your life. That's all it takes. And that person is definitely you. Jim Rohn scaled my business and so did you. Oh, thank you. Thank you. That's fire. It's all you though. It was all you. Okay. You got it. So let's move on to the hero's journey. The hero's journey. If you don't know, I really encourage you to, to learn about this. There's an audiobook, there's a book, it's called The Hero's Journey by Joseph Campbell. This is for every single person here. Okay, is there any questions? Do we have any questions about the Be, Do, Have framework? Who you need to become, your intentions. And one thing too that I want to encourage you guys, because we're going to talk about, uh, net worth, right? Crystal was going to talk about net worth. I don't know if you want to go into it right now actually, because it's the B.
It's the B. Yeah, what's the B?
To be a billionaire.
So, um, well, I mean, I was gonna do it kind of towards the end of the call as an action item if you guys have your notes. Okay, so if you want to finish up your story, then, um, I'll leave it as an action item if you guys want to do it. Um, yeah, yeah, I just need about 5, 5, under 10 minutes.
Okay, let's do it. So I'm going to talk about the hero's journey. The hero's journey is— so there's this guy named Joseph Campbell, okay? Joseph Campbell, if you don't know who he is, he is He's basically the guy that, that helped shape a lot of stories, how stories are told today. And so when it comes to his framework of the hero's journey, it's a circle. It's a circle. And there's like 12 different parts to the hero's journey. And each part of the hero's journey is someone's chapter in their life. And it's pivotal. It's pivotal chapters. Okay. It's vital chapters in their life that helps them get from point A to point B that helps them change their status quo, that helps, helps them change their ordinary into extraordinary. Okay? So when it comes to the hero's journey, I'm gonna, I'm gonna lay out the steps right now. It's 12 steps. So number 1 is status quo, and I'm gonna, I'm gonna do it in a circle actually, how they, they have it. But status, actually here, let, let's do this. Let's pull it up. So can you actually use, can we use your phone please? The Hero's Journey. It's going to be an image, and if you— I encourage you to look this up on your own as well. You can even do it right now, there's no rush, okay? I want to encourage you guys that this is— we're going to do sprints at times, 90-day run, 18 months, but also just know that it's a marathon, all right? It's a marathon as well. Fire Hour is going to be here where our intention is to continue to do Fire Hour as much as we possibly can because it's about the transformation for you. This is for you. The hero's journey. Okay, so I'm just going to show you guys an example. It's a circle. I, I really, I have an affinity to one of the, one of the images. It's this one in particular. Okay, I encourage you to look for this one. So at the very top it says status quo. So zero is status quo. That means it's your life right now, your normal life currently. Call to action is number 1. Number 2 is supernatural aid, which is the guide, the mentor. Number 3, crossing the threshold. It means that you said yes. It means that you said yes to the new call to action, the new opportunity, and you stepped forward, you stepped into it. Number 4, the road of trials. Like I said before, once you say yes, once you say yes to your new opportunity, to your new life change, to your new path, there is going to be pushback. Right? That's why I said to have the clear vision for yourself, to visualize every single step of the way, because you're gonna have that clear path you can walk on, and it's gonna be a lot easier for you to accomplish your goals. Step number 5, the approach. Okay, we're gonna go through all this stuff. Thank you. Ordinary world is number 1, your status quo. Your status quo is your life currently.
I—
if you're here on Fire Hour, you are not satisfied, okay? You have ambition, you have hunger, you have desire for more. You have desire for the next level of life. It could be spiritual, it could be in your wealth, in your finances, it could be in your health, it could be in your family. Again, all aspects of wealth, that's all aspects of your life. That's what wealth is all about. It's about that abundance. Continue to pull that in. So ordinary world, status quo. Number 2, call to adventure, right? It's a new opportunity. And if you're writing this down, um, I encourage you to take notes, like take notes on where you are, right? Notice, notice how this happened to you. Notice where these things happened to you, where these, uh, these coincidences occurred, okay? Notice that. Because those are, those are lessons and patterns and signals from the universe for you. Number 3, refusal of the call. So let me, let me have the other one too. I really want to get this correct.
Same photo.
Yeah, same photo. Yes. So crossing the threshold. I, I really like this one better. Just so much, so much better. This is, this is saying yes. Okay, I'm just gonna put yes. Right here. Number 4, trials. So all the challenges, all the, the haters, all the naysayers, all whatever that is. Number 5, the approach.
Yeah, the trials could also be yourself, you guys. Sometimes we get so into our heads and we are literally our worst critic, our worst critic.
That's right. Number 6, the ordeal. Okay, uh, the ordeal is basically like, it's, it's one of the most— it's like your biggest challenge, okay? It's like the biggest mountain, it's like the biggest monster. It's just the thing that once you overcome, you now step into your new reality, you now step into like having what you want, okay? It's like that. It's like at the, the climax, the, the top, the peak. That's when it— after you accomplish that, you go over it, boom, now you have achieved something new, okay? Number 7, the reward, whatever it is that you wanted, right, that you desire. Number 8, magical flight, okay? Magic Flight. I need to go through this. See, for me, like, something that I'm studying right now is the hero's journey, is Joseph Campbell's teachings, the, the power of myth. Like, all these things I'm learning that as we go, and I— what I've found is that it's relevant. Every single time I visit it, I learned something new. There are certain books, there are certain mentors, there are certain lessons that you will revisit over and over And because you changed who you are, because you became someone different, your perspective has now shifted, has now changed. You see it in a different lens. And that's really good because you're always a student. You wanna be growth. You wanna have that growth mindset. Always be committed to being a student of life because life is so rewarding. There's endless things to learn. Number 9, the return, right? The return is after you have accomplished, you, you went over that, that challenge. Right? You, you got your reward. You now have what you wanted, right? Because you became who you needed to be. Then from there, now you're coming back to your regular life. You're coming back because now it's becoming your reality. It's becoming normal for you, right? Number 10, resurrection. I'm going to share with you something about this, this word right here. The resurrection is very powerful. This is kind of like, for us, Crystal and I actually This is kind of like our resurrection. The reason why I say that, it's because it's about the, it's about the unification. It's about transformation. We have now accomplished and completed a cycle for us. And now that's why we're coming back onto Fire Hour. It's because now that we have, we, we went through all these trials, these, these tribulations. We went through the call to action, the, the guidance, the mentors, right? Saying yes to new opportunity. We went through all the challenges, right? Those challenges that was for us in our path. We went through like the number 5 approach, like the ordeals, like we overcame the biggest challenges. We went through all that, we got the reward, right? The magical flight of return, right? There's so many things. Resurrection. Resurrection is death and life, right? Rebirth. The phoenix rising from the ashes. It's the rebirth. That right there is also the unification, right? It's new life. New beginning, new vision, so many things. Number 11, number 11, resolution. Okay, resolution, and then it goes back to status quo. Okay, thank you. Yeah, boom. All right, so I know it's kind of messy here, but life is messy and that's okay too. So when it comes to these steps, right, again, you— the, the— what I really love about the hero's journey is that every single person is the hero of their own journey. You are the hero of your own journey. So whatever journey, whatever path you're on, whatever your life looks like today, it's uniquely to you, right? It's unique to yourself, and everyone's path is going to look differently. But guess what? I'm gonna share with you something because again, with community, community is unity right there. It's everyone going toward, towards one destination, one location. And when that happens, when you surround yourself with a community of like-minded individuals who are fired up, who are inspired, who are committed to becoming the best version of themselves, you run a lot faster and you feel not alone. You feel supported. You feel like there's no fear because fear is a bondage, right? There is no fear whatsoever. You already know where you're going. One thing that I feel, this is just my feeling, whenever I look at social media, cuz I'm always looking for trends. I truly believe that we're, there's gonna be a big shift in the world where it's gonna, it's gonna be very black and white where one side of the world is really gonna be on just like you know what, like very negative, in the low, like, energy, low states, like all that stuff. And then there's going to be the other crowd. There's going to be the other side where they're fired up. There's no more fear left. There's— you're, you're just on your journey, on your path, and you are in love. I'm telling you right now, that's what I'm seeing. I'm seeing the patterns. And you get to decide which side you want to be on. I'm going to share with you that you get to decide how you wake up every day, how you feel every day, how you share your messages every day, how you walk your path. That's what's going to happen. I'm seeing a shift right now in social media where literally people are very positive and they're fired up and excited for their life. And then there's people out there who just haven't made that, that transition yet, you know. I don't know, but that's what I'm seeing, okay? So I'm just sharing with you guys what I see.
We're missing one. Yeah, supernatural aid number 2.
No, yeah.
Oh, there's 12.
Oh yeah, there's 12.
I was like counting and I was like 1, 2, 3. So in between status quo and adventure is number 2, and that's the supernatural aid. And the supernatural aid you said was the mentor, right? Like the mentor and the guide.
It's your guide. Mentor guide.
Any of you guys are OCD like me, you were counting, you were like, where's the 12?
I'm so sorry.
That's That's why you have me right here.
Exactly. My blind spots, right? Fill in my blind spots. There's a really good book by Peter Drucker. He's an executive management consultant. He is someone who is like considered a business guru. He has a book called Managing Oneself. He talks about blind spots. Every single person here has their strengths and their weaknesses and their blind spot. She just covered one of my blind spots right now. There's so many other ways too, but Yeah, you're right. Dang it. This is so—
That's okay. That's okay. We can, we can put it in correctly and we can, we can, we can share.
Yeah. I'll, I'll write an article on my own, like takes on this too.
Okay.
Uh, and put it on the website. But yeah, for those of you who are looking for a book, like we have a book list as well. I'm gonna keep on adding to that book list. They have, I have The Compound Effect on it, The Four Agreements, The Power of Now. Like there's so many books out there. Okay. The 12-Week Year, which is a 90-day run. I recommend highly. Talk about this happened during the pandemic, the same shift but different. Exactly. Yeah, and it's very true. It's happening again. It's happening again, but this time even more accelerated because the world is getting more into social media, more access to everyone, right? It's only going to continue to do that. So let's, let's wrap this up. Um, status quo. Okay, I— again, let's just do some homework now. So homework assignment: watch the Hero's Journey. Just go on YouTube, YouTube, the Hero's Journey. I guarantee that if your eyes are open, right, and you have the sight and the vision— you have the sight and the vision, you are intentionally set, you want to just be conscious about what you are looking, focus on— it's okay, okay, it's okay to not understand everything, but as you continue to seek knowledge, you're going to receive it. Yes, you don't have to be perfect to be a leader. You just have to take action and accept when you make mistakes and correct it. Absolutely.
All the time.
All the time. All the time. Yeah, we have to— again, like I said before, we have to remain a student, right? A student of life. And so yeah, with this, one, status quo. Number two, your guide. Number three, the call to action. Right? Uh, the call to adventure. There's, whenever you say yes to your opportunity, I guarantee that, and I encourage that you want to seek out a mentor, a guide, a support, someone who has been there or can show you the way. Okay? There's all the greats, all the greats in the world, all the people who have changed history. They all had mentors. They all had guides. They all had support systems. They all had somebody. Okay, who are we to not have the same? Who are we to not be humble and, and, you know, practice humility to get what we want? If we— if all it takes is just being humble to get what you want, would you say yes? Right? Okay, crossing the, the chasm, which is, uh, crossing the threshold, right? Stepping into that opportunity, stepping into your new life, whatever that may be. You can do it today, I'm telling you right now. Once you say yes to your new opportunity, to that new vision, whatever lifestyle you want, dominating that path, living life on your own terms. Once you say yes, don't— okay, let me know. Okay, let me know, or let us know all the trials and tribulations. Let us know when you start to notice the pushback. Let us know, or take note for yourself, right? Maybe we don't want to like receive all that. Maybe take notes for yourself. Just be, just notice, be aware of it. And then from there, those trials are going to happen. Push back, okay? Fight for what you want. Believe in your purpose. Believe in your mission. Fight for it because you can do it. All right, the approach. I need to get clarity on the approach because there's so many different— there's different things. I need to— I need to learn more.
I feel like with the approach comes, okay, now you're ready for it and you're on the way to it, and then there's trials and tribulations and you kind of have to like readjust the approach of how you're going through things like you have to evaluate the approach that you're going to take to continue to move forward after those trials come up.
That is actually— yeah, it's true. It's because it's the self-work, it's the self-transformation. It's really like going inward. Yeah, that's what happened to me in 2020. I went inward for the very first time in a long time.
I welcome that.
And guess what? Like, that's when— oh my God, I was going to go into like the different states of personality. 'Cause, and like, yeah, I saw it in the chats. So anyways, the approach is really the inner work. It's that, it's that transformation, that self-transformation for yourself. Because once you, once you, once you face yourself in the mirror, once you look at yourself in the mirror and you accept what you see, and then you say, you know what, I wanna change it. That's when that happens. That's when that transition happens. It's, it's like very interesting. Anyways, the ordeal, the biggest challenge, you overcome it, and then from there you get your reward. And then after that, it's the return. It's coming back into your reality, your new— stepping into your new reality. Crystal and I, we're stepping into our new reality. We're going back out there in the public. We're showcasing everything now. Like, Fire Hour before was private. Now we're doing it publicly. Now we're not holding back. We want to impact more lives more than ever before. We want to make noise in industries. We want to make noise and ensure that we, we leave a lasting impact on those who see this, right? So all these things, it's intentional. Everything we do is intentional. It's for a reason. This is the return. The next, right? Resurreccion, the unification. For us, for us, people have said that we are a power couple, okay? I wanna own that. I wanna own that we are a power couple. Why? It's because if we own it, we said yes, we can step into this new reality. And then there's couples out there who are on that journey too. They're the next power couples. They are power couples. Guess what? Why can't we have more power couples out there, right? Why not? That for us is resurrection. We have now solidified our foundation and now it's time for us to scale. It's time for us to go out there. To unify and use these energies and become a different version of ourselves, to share that version, to not hold back, to face fear head on and do it anyways, right? There are so many things that are gonna happen, whatever your journey is, right? Whether you are a couple or whether you're not, right? Whether if you're on your own journey by yourself, guess what? You're gonna go through every single one of these things. And I just, again, encourage you to not quit. I encourage you to go after your goals and dreams because you can achieve it. It's possible. Don't limit yourself to dreaming big. Don't limit yourself to saying you can't do it. Don't limit yourself to other people, what they say. It doesn't matter. Okay, again, there's going to be a shift. There's a shift happening already. Which side do you want to be on? You can be on the side of positivity. You can be on the side of living your best life. You can be on the side of living your lifestyle dreams. You can do that. Okay. So we're going to end it with the action items, okay? The, the homework. Homework number 1 is for sure learn about the hero's journey. I'm going to do myself a favor and learn again and continue to learn until I master it and then learn some more. Number 2, net worth. We're going to talk about it on the next, the next fire hour. Yeah, net worth, finances, because again, this is day 1. This is day 1. Map out what you want for your life. Day 1, revisit your goals and dreams. Map out— do you want to expand on them? Maybe you, you have a new vision for yourself. Now you— maybe you want to do something completely different now, right? You— it's okay to change. It's okay to change, but do it fast, okay? Do it fast. Make decisions quickly and then stick with it. Do it fast. Be intentional. Make sure that you map it out for yourself. This is for you. If you don't let this learning lead to action, nothing will change. Okay? Nothing will change. And the only person you could blame is yourself. So be accountable to your goals and dreams. And I'm gonna share with you and encourage you that if you have friends who are like-minded individuals for yourself, if you have a community of people that you can talk to about your goals and dreams, then do it, right? Really get intentional. Hold yourself accountable to the goals and dreams that you want to accomplish. Make sure that you are accountable. I'm, I'm accountable to a few different people in my life for certain different things, okay? There are a lot of cool goals that I have, but in order for me to accomplish them, I am committed to being a different version of myself. I am committed to doing different level things. I'm committed to being able to accomplish that and attract it by always working on myself no matter what. And Crystal is doing the same. We are always sharpening each other no matter what. We are accountable to each other. We are accountable to our children. We are accountable to our nonprofit. We're accountable to our, our businesses. We are accountable to Fire Hour. We are accountable to helping people transform their wealth in all aspects of their life to become and create abundance. So guess what? This was the first session of Fire Hour. On the next one, the next session, we're gonna go over finances in detail. We're talking about net worth, revenue. We're talking about how can you increase your income. We're talking about the action items that you can take. We're talking about, again, accountability. What does that look like for you? We need to really define all that so that way you can actually put it into practical action items and then take action on it and then manifest it and then let us know when it happens. All right? So I hope this was helpful. On the next Fire Hour session, uh, we're gonna, there's gonna be an announcement or an email sent out. And again, I encourage you to take this seriously. Set your intentions, manifest your goals and dreams because you can dominate your path and live life on your own terms. You deserve it, you've got what it takes, and you just got to give it all that you've got. All right, we love you, sending you love.
Love you guys.
Crush it, dominate your path, and let's get it. All right, peace out.
