00:00:02.200 --> 00:00:04.440
I thank you very much for tuning into that two
2
00:00:04.519 --> 00:00:05.599
and overworld podcast.
3
00:00:06.519 --> 00:00:10.679
I have a guest who spent fifteen years failing at
4
00:00:10.720 --> 00:00:14.439
business after business, and then in January of twenty twenty one,
5
00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:19.280
working sixteen to twenty hours a day on three to
6
00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:22.760
four hours of sleep a night, he built a YouTube
7
00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:26.559
channel from zero that replaced his sixth figure income in
8
00:00:26.679 --> 00:00:30.120
just three months, with no startup capital, no investors, and
9
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:31.120
no safety net.
10
00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:34.719
Today is the founder of Faith Roar and CEO of
11
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:38.119
multiple companies. Scott is on a mission to help one
12
00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:41.679
million people achieve financial freedom, not because he had it easy,
13
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:45.159
but because he knows exactly what it costs to keep
14
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:49.560
going when every indicator tells you to stop. Let's talk
15
00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:50.600
about it right after.
16
00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:56.600
This educate and power enabl impact.
17
00:00:57.280 --> 00:00:58.039
Thank you for.
18
00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:01.240
Tuning in to That Will Never Work, an award winning
19
00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:07.319
podcast where we share inspiring information and personal experiences related
20
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:11.200

leaders in their respective field. Now here's your host, author
22
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:18.480
and business coach Maurice.
23
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:22.640
So, my guest, I'm not gonna read a bio.
24
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:25.959
I'm gonna give you some bullet points and hopefully you
25
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:27.480
can resonate with them.
26
00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:31.159
He's relentless, faith fuel, he's.
27
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:36.840
Real, resilient, purpose driven, family first, bold and unapologetic. Now,
28
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:41.120
if you could relate to those things, be sure to
29
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:43.120
follow Scott, and we'll have all that information at the
30
00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:44.760
end of the show, as you well know and in
31
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:47.120
the show notes. But Scott, first, I want to say
32
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:48.560
thank very much for coming on to the show.
33
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:51.519
Thank you so much, Murray's it's a pleasure to be
34
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:53.680
here and I can't wait to get it in this
35
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:57.400
and help your audience just understand what it takes to
36
00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:00.200
really start a business and all the benefits to it.
37
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:03.840
So and I appreciate that. And as I told you
38
00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:06.079
in the green room, I've done my homework.
39
00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:08.280
So let's get rocking and rolling.
40
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:12.199
So, Scott, you were fifteen years deep into failing at
41
00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:14.960
business when you decided to go all in at one time,
42
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:18.039
but this time with nothing but a camera and an
43
00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:20.800
idea and maybe three to four hours of sleep based
44
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:22.919
off of all the other things you had going on.
45
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:26.840
So most people would have quit, maybe even a decade later.
46
00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:29.479
Because I listened to a podcast they said they think
47
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:31.599
that you were overnight success, but you've been at this
48
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:34.680
for a little minute. So was that still what was
49
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:37.879
still burning inside you that wouldn't let you stop.
50
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:40.240
Yeah.
51
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:42.879
A lot of people think I'm an overnight success because
52
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:46.280
they saw those three months of work to find that success.
53
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:49.520
They didn't see the fifteen years of failure and the
54
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:54.159
multiple different businesses that I started and didn't work and
55
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:58.080
just put aside and kept working. And I had that
56
00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:03.000
tenacity for one reason, and it's because when my boys
57
00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:08.039
were about two years old, I was leaving for work
58
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:10.599
one morning and we had a baby gate at the
59
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:13.039
top of the stairs so they didn't fall down the stairs.
60
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:13.479
And kill themselves.
61
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:17.960
And I was climbing over that baby gate and going
62
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:21.000
down the stairs to head off to work, and I
63
00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:24.960
hear my two twin two year olds up at the
64
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:28.439
top of the stairs and they're grabbing onto the edge
65
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:32.039
of the baby gate and they're crying and they've got
66
00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:38.080
tears dripping down their faces, and they're begging me in unison, saying, Daddy,
67
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:41.520
please don't go, don't leave us, Daddy, don't go, daddy,
68
00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:46.199
And it absolutely broke my heart. I was definitely late
69
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:49.319
to work that day. I went upstairs to give the
70
00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:52.400
big old hugs, and as I'm walking out the door,
71
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:58.400
I said, I'm gonna find some way, somehow to make
72
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:02.639
away that I will never have to leave them ever again.
73
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:07.560
And that is what set within me that deep, deep
74
00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:10.439
desire to figure it out. And it was about five
75
00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:13.719
years after I being that decision that I ended up
76
00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:16.800
starting that YouTube channel that went on to have so
77
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:20.920
much success. And that was really the motivating factor. And
78
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:23.839
I think that's key number one. You've got to have
79
00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:30.759
an extremely deep and powerful why in order to be successful,
80
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:34.439
because without that why, you're never going to get through
81
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:36.759
all the difficulties and all the failures.
82
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:42.800
So, Scott, I'm gonna ask a real question that as
83
00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:48.759
I'm listening to you speak, even though your children said, Daddy,
84
00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:50.240
why are you leaving?
85
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:54.519
I'm missing you? Whatever, those emotional ties can be.
86
00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:59.079
Well, a lot of times those golden handcuffs keep us
87
00:04:59.120 --> 00:04:59.639
locked up.
88
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:03.120
Why didn't they keep you, you know there.
89
00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:05.199
Where you're like, hey, you know what, babies, I'm making
90
00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:06.680
this money, Like don't you like.
91
00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:10.040
You know, bebop or you know whatever got you.
92
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:13.040
Know the commentory might be at that time, or you know,
93
00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:15.680
we're trying to go to Disney World, whatever the situation is.
94
00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:20.160
Because again, that business side may not be working as much,
95
00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:24.000
but this is steady. So so why were you able
96
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:28.000
to not allow those golden handcuffs keep you tied up
97
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:28.720
to that job?
98
00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:34.439
Because I had been laid off before, and I realized
99
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:39.639
very quickly that a job is not secure. A lot
100
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:44.399
of people look at jobs they feel like it's job security. Oh,
101
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:47.199
it's safe. I'm getting a paycheck every month. But what
102
00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:50.040
happens when you're not What happens when you get laid off.
103
00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:52.959
I mean, I went through the two thousand and financial crisis.
104
00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:57.680
I experienced it. It was painful, and a lot of
105
00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:01.079
people aren't thinking in those terms. And yeah, there's some
106
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:04.279
really good advice out there from financial planners about having
107
00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:07.399
six months worth of savings, But the reality is that
108
00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:10.199
job is not secure. If I have a business, I
109
00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:14.120
have one hundred clients and one client drops me, I've
110
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:16.639
still got ninety nine clients, I'm fine.
111
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:18.360
But if I have a.
112
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:21.600
Job and that one job drops me, I've just lost
113
00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:23.040
all of my income.
114
00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:25.600
And so I actually feel.
115
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:29.600
Like a job is the least secure way to make money,
116
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:32.680
and that a business is actually far more secure than
117
00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:33.279
a job is.
118
00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:39.040
So we're talking about as we're building our job.
119
00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:42.839
I'm sorry our business, and we jump into YouTube because
120
00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:47.240
we hear and see these influencers. You know, we've seen
121
00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:50.560
them actually mature, right, you know, we've seen them on YouTube. Now,
122
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:53.040
we're seeing them in movies. We've seen them in TV shows,
123
00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:55.560
like we've seen them on Netflix, all these type of things,
124
00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:59.560
and so we see the gliss and glamour, but not
125
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:01.879
under Danny was one of the things that you're missing, Like, hey,
126
00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:03.759
you still had your nine to five, but you also
127
00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:06.759
had to put in a whole nother nine to five afterwards,
128
00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:09.279
you know, So how did you build up that even
129
00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:11.680
that to nasty or that work ethic, because a lot
130
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:13.720
of times we don't see those things behind the scenes.
131
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:18.319
A lot of the other businesses that I had started
132
00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:20.680
that did not work out were.
133
00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:21.800
In the exact same boat.
134
00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:25.079
I would go to my job nine to five, well
135
00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:26.319
you know, really eight to five.
136
00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:28.519
And then with commune times seven six and you.
137
00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:31.399
Know, right, and then I would get home and I
138
00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:33.959
would immediately start working on the business all evening long.
139
00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:37.480
And I did that with every single business. There was
140
00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:41.000
nothing new or special about this one. It's just this
141
00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:45.040
one actually works. And for me, I had to keep
142
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:47.399
trying things over and over and over again until I
143
00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:51.160
found the one thing that actually worked for me. And
144
00:07:52.079 --> 00:07:54.519
a lot of people maybe they would have given up
145
00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:57.160
after the first one, maybe they would have given up
146
00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:01.560
after three or four. But I kept going because I said,
147
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:04.000
I have to find some way, somehow to stay home
148
00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:06.360
with my kids, and I don't care how many times
149
00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:08.680
I have to try. I'm going to keep going until
150
00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:12.240
I figure it out. And so that is really what
151
00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:14.199
it was for me. There was nothing special about the
152
00:08:14.199 --> 00:08:17.480
work ethic of this one. Okay, I went all in
153
00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:21.240
on every business because I was told something a long
154
00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:24.959
time ago that every single person in the world is
155
00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:27.600
going to work forty years of their life. The question
156
00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:29.439
is are you going to do it in twenty or
157
00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:33.320
are you going to do it in sixty? And I said,
158
00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:36.279
if I'm going to build a business, why not build
159
00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:39.600
it as quickly as possible and get to that dream
160
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:42.200
of staying home with my kids as quickly as possible.
161
00:08:42.519 --> 00:08:44.639
Why delay it? Why drag it out? Why not go
162
00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:45.080
all in?
163
00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:49.759
And I could I could say why, I mean, I
164
00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:55.679
go all in, Scott because if I have this six
165
00:08:55.799 --> 00:08:59.279
figure income, I've started one or two businesses already.
166
00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:01.360
I've heard know more than once.
167
00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:05.159
Right, you know, hey, you know what I want to
168
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:07.639
won't you become my client? No? You know I'm not
169
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:09.720
ready for all that type of stuff. You know, I'm
170
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:12.039
trying to go get a vendor and they told me no.
171
00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:17.200
And now I've also invested way more money than I anticipated,
172
00:09:17.399 --> 00:09:19.519
because now, Scott, you're trying to tell me another way,
173
00:09:19.799 --> 00:09:21.919
I don't need to invest any money. So I'm now
174
00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:24.440
I'm a little nervous, I'm a little gun shoy.
175
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:28.360
So how do how should I get over that? Especially
176
00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:29.559
if I heard these nos?
177
00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:34.440
I heard these you know, opportunities that sound great on
178
00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:36.320
paperty look great, but.
179
00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:37.679
I've been turned down.
180
00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:40.840
So how do I get over that place of being
181
00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:43.879
gun shy and moving forward? Especially if I feel like
182
00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:48.000
I've invested a whole lot more emotionally and financially.
183
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:53.240
It's a couple of things. So it's a big question.
184
00:09:53.399 --> 00:09:56.639
And I think for starters it goes back to your why.
185
00:09:57.279 --> 00:10:00.039
For me, every time I went into the office, it
186
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:03.559
felt like I was in jail because I had to
187
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:05.720
go in at a certain time, I had to be
188
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:07.559
there at a certain time, I had to stay until
189
00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:09.759
a certain time, I had to go in a certain.
190
00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:11.080
Number of days per week.
191
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:14.440
I had a limited amount of time for vacation or PTO,
192
00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:15.519
and it.
193
00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:18.360
Felt like I was a slave. And in a lot
194
00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:19.039
of ways, I was.
195
00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:21.080
A slave to my boss and to the company I
196
00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:24.960
was working for, and I wanted out of that so badly.
197
00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:28.120
I was willing to do whatever it took in order
198
00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:31.360
to make it happen for me. It wasn't a question
199
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:34.879
of well, you know, I'll try it hopefully it works out. No,
200
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:40.120
it was this has to work no matter what. And
201
00:10:40.200 --> 00:10:43.200
so that was the first thing. The second thing I
202
00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:47.320
would say is in the beginning, there's gonna be a
203
00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:49.720
lot of downturn, a lot.
204
00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:51.399
Of difficulties, a lot of struggle.
205
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:56.360
And there's an old term in sales that every single
206
00:10:56.440 --> 00:10:59.159
no gets you one step closer to yes. I have
207
00:10:59.240 --> 00:11:02.080
a couple of life mottos that I live by. One
208
00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:05.120
of those is the answers always know until you ask.
209
00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:07.639
And so if you have somebody you.
210
00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:10.440
Want to work with and you're too scared to ask them,
211
00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:13.039
the answer is guaranteed to be no because you didn't.
212
00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:15.279
Even ask them. But if you do ask them, there's
213
00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:16.679
a chance they might say yes.
214
00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:20.120
And the other life model that I live by is
215
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:24.879
you're guaranteed to fail until you try. And so if
216
00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:26.799
you want to go into business and you want to
217
00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:31.320
get it started, and you just think you're starting your business,
218
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:33.679
but you're actually just preparing to start your business, And
219
00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:35.120
what I mean by that is you spend a bunch
220
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:38.399
of time listening to podcasts, you watch YouTube videos, you
221
00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:41.080
read booked, but you never actually go out and try
222
00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:42.399
to sell a product or service.
223
00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:46.279
Then all you're doing is learning about a business.
224
00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:49.200
You're not actually starting it, and so you're not actually trying,
225
00:11:49.720 --> 00:11:53.000
and in that way, you're guaranteed to fail. If you're
226
00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:55.279
actually going out there and talking to people and trying
227
00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:58.000
to make those sales is sooner or later you're going
228
00:11:58.039 --> 00:11:58.840
to find success.
229
00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:00.480
It's just a number, is game.
230
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:04.840
And most people have about a one percent success rate,
231
00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:07.360
which means you got to talk to ninety nine people
232
00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:10.440
that all tell you no, that I'll tell you're stupid,
233
00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:12.559
I'll tell you it's never gonna work to find that
234
00:12:12.759 --> 00:12:16.039
one that's gonna say yes, let's do this. And then
235
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:18.639
you're off to the races because now your confidence is
236
00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:22.200
built and so getting through those moments, and I'm going
237
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:25.919
to tell you right now that that moment getting started
238
00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:29.240
is hard, but it's nothing compared to what you're going
239
00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:31.879
to go through at some point a few years down
240
00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:35.399
the road, because I have never met a single successful
241
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:40.159
person ever that did not go through some exceptional difficulty
242
00:12:40.559 --> 00:12:44.480
and trial that they had to overcome to find success,
243
00:12:44.919 --> 00:12:50.360
because it's usually that extremely difficult trial that stops most
244
00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:54.399
people on their tracks and turns those people into the
245
00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:57.399
kind of people that later tell their children, oh, that'll
246
00:12:57.440 --> 00:13:02.240
never work. And it's not because they're wanting to hurt
247
00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:03.960
their kids or don't want their kids to go try
248
00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:06.879
new things. It's because they got hurt trying something in
249
00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:09.080
the past and they don't want to see their kids
250
00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:11.559
get hurt, and so they're trying to protect their kids.
251
00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:17.039
And interestingly enough, it's the parents that encourage their kids
252
00:13:17.039 --> 00:13:20.120
to be risk takers, encourage their kids to try new things.
253
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:22.440
Those are the kids that ended up starting businesses at
254
00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:24.200
the age of sixteen and become.
255
00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:25.279
Millionaires by twenty five.
256
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:31.600
And so as parents, we have to kind of relinquish
257
00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:34.840
some of that fear and just let our kids try things,
258
00:13:34.919 --> 00:13:36.519
and let our kids go for it and let our
259
00:13:36.600 --> 00:13:39.759
kids learn, because that's ultimately how they're going to be successful.
260
00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:43.840
And yeah, my dad told me over and over again
261
00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:44.879
it was never gonna work.
262
00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:48.080
And even after I was successful in making two hundred
263
00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:50.320
three hundred thousand dollars a year, he still told me
264
00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:51.039
it wasn't gonna work.
265
00:13:51.039 --> 00:13:55.120
I was like, Dad, wake up, and it's just because
266
00:13:55.840 --> 00:13:56.759
I don't know what it was.
267
00:13:56.840 --> 00:13:58.440
But I'm sure at some point in his life he
268
00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:00.360
tried and took a risk and it didn't work out,
269
00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:02.840
and he's just trying to protect me. But you know,
270
00:14:02.919 --> 00:14:06.759
that's just how it goes. And so we have to
271
00:14:06.799 --> 00:14:09.519
overcome those things. The only way, the only way you're
272
00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:12.080
ever gonna overcome it, is to have a y that
273
00:14:12.200 --> 00:14:15.679
is so deep and so powerful that you have determined
274
00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:18.799
in your mind you have to make this work. There
275
00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:21.879
is no plan B, there is no planc. You make
276
00:14:21.919 --> 00:14:25.399
it work or you die trying. And you have to
277
00:14:25.399 --> 00:14:30.559
give to that point where everything everything goes into this
278
00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:35.600
and failure is not an option. And I got to
279
00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:38.679
that point in every single business that quote unquote failed.
280
00:14:38.840 --> 00:14:40.519
I don't see those as a failure. I see those
281
00:14:40.559 --> 00:14:43.519
as a learning experience that got me one step closer
282
00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:45.159
to my successful business.
283
00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:48.919
Scott, I don't have that many chips I don't have
284
00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:51.399
that many chips to push all in. You know, I'm
285
00:14:51.399 --> 00:14:53.559
too fearful because I want to hold onto this one, right.
286
00:14:53.639 --> 00:14:57.240
I'm used to try and turn this nickel into a dime.
287
00:14:57.879 --> 00:15:00.279
You know, I'm living check the check all ready.
288
00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:03.360
You know, all these things that kind of buries inside
289
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:05.919
of us, you know, because we're not used to that,
290
00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:10.080
you know. And or there's another thought process as well.
291
00:15:10.840 --> 00:15:13.000
You want me to think outside the box also, Scott,
292
00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:15.480
That's not what I've been learning. That's not what I
293
00:15:15.559 --> 00:15:19.399
was taught in school, primary school, high school, middle school.
294
00:15:19.639 --> 00:15:21.360
You know, even if I go to college, I'm not
295
00:15:21.399 --> 00:15:25.480
always taught to think outside of the box, let alone
296
00:15:25.799 --> 00:15:30.480
someone else's box, you know. And so if I've been
297
00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:34.440
so confined in this space, Yes, I understand what my wife.
298
00:15:34.559 --> 00:15:36.320
My wife is saying to me. I might be dreaming
299
00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:40.240
about it, I might be fantasizing about it. But unfortunately
300
00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:41.440
sometimes that's self doubt.
301
00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:45.639
Bro, Like he's beating me up. To be honest.
302
00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:48.720
I let you know my third life motto. I've only
303
00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:49.200
got three.
304
00:15:49.320 --> 00:15:52.360
This is the third one, and it's don't let school
305
00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:53.200
get in the way.
306
00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:56.480
Of your education. Think about that.
307
00:15:56.960 --> 00:15:57.080
Hm.
308
00:15:58.000 --> 00:15:58.519
There was a.
309
00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:02.799
Study done year ago that try to figure out how
310
00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:06.200
many kids were geniuses. And so they gave this age
311
00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:10.600
appropriate test for a genius level test to a wide
312
00:16:10.679 --> 00:16:15.000
variety of students, and they started with people in pre K,
313
00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:19.399
so people that were basically in daycare pre k. And
314
00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:24.399
they found that giving them the genius test, sixty percent
315
00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:28.960
of kids registered as genius. They did the test again
316
00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:32.039
in kindergarten and that number had dropped to fifty five percent.
317
00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:35.440
They did the number again in second grade. That number
318
00:16:35.480 --> 00:16:38.480
had dropped to about forty percent. They did the test
319
00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:40.679
again in middle school. The number had dropped to about
320
00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:44.240
thirty percent. They did it again in high school. As freshmen,
321
00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:46.879
the number was all the way down to about twenty percent.
322
00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:49.039
They did it again as a senior in high school,
323
00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:50.399
the number was around ten percent.
324
00:16:50.679 --> 00:16:52.600
They did it again for college graduates.
325
00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:55.679
The number was down to two percent. Now what happened?
326
00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:59.600
Did kids get stupider? No, they got molded. They got
327
00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:03.200
mold did to think and act like everybody else?
328
00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:04.039
Why?
329
00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:07.559
Because in school, if you don't put in the correct answers,
330
00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:12.720
you get low grades, and you're taught that you have
331
00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:14.960
to do exactly what you're told the exact same way.
332
00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:16.920
You're told you have to think in a certain way
333
00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:21.000
in order to get good grades. And it's not shocking
334
00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:25.480
that the most successful business owners are C students because
335
00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:27.519
the kids that are like, Okay, yeah, I'm going to
336
00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:30.240
obey all the rules and go get my AA's, those
337
00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:35.079
people generally make really good people for the military or
338
00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:38.880
any other job where obeying rules and obeying orders is
339
00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:43.119
really important. The kids they get C grades are the
340
00:17:43.160 --> 00:17:46.000
ones that think outside of the box. They're thinking differently,
341
00:17:46.079 --> 00:17:48.720
they're creative, and those are the ones that end up being.
342
00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:51.599
Really successful in business. And that was me.
343
00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:55.160
You know, I graduated college, but my college required a
344
00:17:55.160 --> 00:17:59.240
two point five GPA to graduate, and I graduated with a.
345
00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:03.680
Two point five three. I mean, I literally had one class.
346
00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:05.079
I wasn't sure if I was going to get a
347
00:18:05.160 --> 00:18:08.599
deer and CN and I wasn't sure if I was
348
00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:12.319
going to graduate. I literally had to grab the graduation
349
00:18:12.519 --> 00:18:15.400
pamphlet on the day of graduation and flip through it
350
00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:17.640
to try to find my name because I wasn't sure
351
00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:18.880
if I was going to graduate or not.
352
00:18:20.079 --> 00:18:21.319
And that's the thing.
353
00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:23.440
You can't let school get in the way of your education,
354
00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:26.599
because school is going to muld you into being a
355
00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:31.079
good employee. A four year college degree does one thing
356
00:18:31.119 --> 00:18:33.039
and one thing only. It is designed to get you
357
00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:36.559
your first job if you want to be successful in business.
358
00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:40.640
Why are so many successful business owners college dropouts.
359
00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:43.119
It's because college teaches.
360
00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:44.839
You to get a job, and if you want to
361
00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:46.960
be in business, you got to learn something brand new.
362
00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:49.599
You got to learn something completely different from what you
363
00:18:49.640 --> 00:18:51.920
were taught in school. That's the whole reason I started
364
00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:55.839
Faith Roar was to help people learn a different way
365
00:18:56.279 --> 00:18:58.240
and how they have to think in order to be
366
00:18:58.279 --> 00:19:01.119
successful in business, because no school is going to teach
367
00:19:01.119 --> 00:19:01.599
it to you.
368
00:19:02.359 --> 00:19:05.599
So you were talking about being molded. We're talking about
369
00:19:05.640 --> 00:19:08.599
thinking outside the box. We're thinking about viewing things a
370
00:19:08.599 --> 00:19:11.839
little differently. So Scott, unfortunately, I feel like I need
371
00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:15.000
to invest five thousand dollars.
372
00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:16.640
I need to invest twenty.
373
00:19:16.319 --> 00:19:18.720
Five thousand dollars in order for me to have a
374
00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:23.720
profitable business. Right, But you're telling us again, thinking outside
375
00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:26.640
the box, I could do it for nothing pretty much.
376
00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:30.400
So how does that look and feel to know that, hey,
377
00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:33.039
you know what I can offer. I can have something
378
00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:38.400
that that's not gonna cost financial responsibility or investment, but
379
00:19:38.440 --> 00:19:39.599
I can still be profitable.
380
00:19:39.640 --> 00:19:41.160
So what does that look like and feel like for you.
381
00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:45.039
I'm gonna give you two examples of ways that I didn't.
382
00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:47.480
Now we've talked a lot about the YouTube channel, we'll
383
00:19:47.519 --> 00:19:50.839
start with that one. That's a service based business. And
384
00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:52.799
I think for most people when they're first starting out
385
00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:55.880
of business, they're going to be self employed. They're going
386
00:19:55.960 --> 00:19:58.160
to do something where they get paid based upon the
387
00:19:58.200 --> 00:20:00.319
amount of work that they put in. Right, and for
388
00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:03.000
a lot of people that means being a consultant in
389
00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:04.680
whatever industry you're already doing.
390
00:20:05.359 --> 00:20:05.920
You may not.
391
00:20:05.839 --> 00:20:10.160
Realize this, but you ever feel like as an employee
392
00:20:10.160 --> 00:20:12.599
you're not getting paid what you're worth, Well, guess what,
393
00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:16.720
you're absolutely right, because if your boss paid you what
394
00:20:16.759 --> 00:20:18.000
you were worth, they.
395
00:20:17.880 --> 00:20:19.680
Wouldn't be able to make any money.
396
00:20:19.720 --> 00:20:22.160
And the company that hired you is in business to
397
00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:25.720
make money, So you are an investment for.
398
00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:27.000
The company that hired you.
399
00:20:27.400 --> 00:20:29.720
The company has to pay you less than what you're
400
00:20:29.759 --> 00:20:33.119
worth so that they can make a profit based upon
401
00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:34.279
the input that you put in.
402
00:20:34.960 --> 00:20:38.480
And if you go out and you start.
403
00:20:38.200 --> 00:20:41.160
Doing contract work, the same thing you're doing now, but
404
00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:45.839
you start contracting to these small businesses that can't afford
405
00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:49.079
to hire a full time employee, but they still need
406
00:20:49.079 --> 00:20:52.559
the services you provide. You can actually charge you anywhere
407
00:20:52.599 --> 00:20:55.880
from three to five times as much as you make
408
00:20:56.000 --> 00:21:00.200
at your job, because those small companies, One, they don't
409
00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:02.279
have to pay all the benefits, they don't have to
410
00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:04.599
pay the health insurance, the time off and all that.
411
00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:08.480
And two, the smaller company is willing to pay a
412
00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:11.640
higher premium since they're only hiring you part time.
413
00:21:12.359 --> 00:21:14.839
And if you go out and you get.
414
00:21:14.880 --> 00:21:18.519
Ten people that are willing to pay you three to
415
00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:21.480
five times as much money as you're currently making your
416
00:21:21.599 --> 00:21:23.160
current job, you.
417
00:21:23.039 --> 00:21:25.599
Could immediately increase your income three to five x.
418
00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:28.319
And so if you're currently making one hundred thousand a year,
419
00:21:28.319 --> 00:21:30.279
you can make three hundred thousand a year by doing
420
00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:32.960
the exact same thing you're doing now, but doing it
421
00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:35.559
as a consultant instead of as a job. And so
422
00:21:35.640 --> 00:21:38.079
that's the first way that a lot of people get started.
423
00:21:38.400 --> 00:21:42.000
From there, you want to expand, of course and grow bigger.
424
00:21:42.440 --> 00:21:46.799
But there's other ways to actually start businesses without money
425
00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:52.640
that don't involve being a consultant. For example, as a YouTuber,
426
00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:55.279
all I did was grab my cell phone that already
427
00:21:55.319 --> 00:21:57.279
had that already has a camera on it already has
428
00:21:57.279 --> 00:21:59.680
a microphone. I put it up on a tripod and
429
00:21:59.680 --> 00:22:02.119
I start to recording. And nowadays, if you look at
430
00:22:02.119 --> 00:22:04.279
a lot of these shorts, they don't even use a tripod.
431
00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:05.519
They just hold it up with their arm.
432
00:22:05.880 --> 00:22:09.960
And so you literally can get started with the device
433
00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:13.200
in your hand. If you don't want to get on
434
00:22:13.279 --> 00:22:16.359
video and make videos, fine, use it to make phone calls.
435
00:22:16.880 --> 00:22:18.880
I mean, it's shocking, but that phone is for more
436
00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:22.480
than just playing games and scrolling figure. You can actually
437
00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:25.680
make phone calls on it and just start calling businesses
438
00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:30.279
and trying to get some clients. And the other thing is,
439
00:22:30.359 --> 00:22:32.359
let's say you have a product business. I'm going to
440
00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:34.880
show you what I did with my company, Leadership Uniforms,
441
00:22:35.079 --> 00:22:39.319
which has now grown to the largest school uniform company
442
00:22:39.319 --> 00:22:42.480
here in Colorado. And here's the most amazing thing about that.
443
00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:45.839
It's one of my failed businesses. But it didn't fail
444
00:22:46.559 --> 00:22:49.960
because it didn't work. It failed because it produced a
445
00:22:50.240 --> 00:22:53.039
lot of money one month out of the year, and
446
00:22:53.240 --> 00:22:56.720
it didn't provide me that year long income that I needed.
447
00:22:56.920 --> 00:23:00.039
So I still run it today on the side. And
448
00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:03.160
the way I got that started was this when my
449
00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:07.519
boys were getting ready to go into school, into kindergarten.
450
00:23:07.880 --> 00:23:09.559
We were looking for a school for them and there
451
00:23:09.599 --> 00:23:10.480
was a new charter.
452
00:23:10.279 --> 00:23:12.880
School starting up, and we're like, hey, we can kind
453
00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:14.400
of like the school, kind of like what they're doing,
454
00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:15.519
kind of like where they're teaching.
455
00:23:15.799 --> 00:23:16.960
Let's go ahead and roll them.
456
00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:18.599
Well, they were trying to figure out what they were
457
00:23:18.599 --> 00:23:22.240
going to do for school uniforms, and my little brain
458
00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:26.079
saw an opportunity and I called up the principal and
459
00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:28.599
I said, hey, I can provide school uniforms for you guys,
460
00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:30.920
And they said great, can you send us some samples?
461
00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:33.640
They said absolutely, And that was on a Thursday.
462
00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:34.839
I hung up the phone.
463
00:23:35.039 --> 00:23:37.960
I immediately got to work, calling around trying to find
464
00:23:37.960 --> 00:23:38.799
a manufacturer.
465
00:23:39.160 --> 00:23:43.119
Found one on Friday. The entire weekend I spent putting together.
466
00:23:42.839 --> 00:23:45.960
A quick and dirty website. I then went back to
467
00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:49.240
the school on Monday. I said, all right, here's photos
468
00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:51.640
of all my uniforms, here's all the pricing. Would you
469
00:23:51.680 --> 00:23:53.599
like to work with us? They said yeah, absolutely. I
470
00:23:53.599 --> 00:23:56.119
said great, here's what we're going to do. And I
471
00:23:56.119 --> 00:23:59.039
didn't have money to buy inventory, so I said, we're
472
00:23:59.039 --> 00:24:02.039
going to do pre sale and from now until about
473
00:24:02.079 --> 00:24:04.640
a month before school starts, all the parents are going
474
00:24:04.680 --> 00:24:06.680
to go on the website. They're going to order the uniforms,
475
00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:09.000
and the right before school starts, we're going to place
476
00:24:09.079 --> 00:24:11.759
a big bulk order with the manufacturer and then we're
477
00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:14.400
gonna give the parents all the uniforms. And this way,
478
00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:16.720
the parents are able to save a ton of money.
479
00:24:16.759 --> 00:24:18.279
And that's why we're gonna do it this way.
480
00:24:18.759 --> 00:24:19.480
And it worked.
481
00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:22.000
And I had about ten thousand dollars in sales that summer.
482
00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:25.279
Actually it was about fifteen thousand dollars in sales. I
483
00:24:25.440 --> 00:24:28.680
used it. I spent about ten thousand dollars to buy inventory.
484
00:24:28.920 --> 00:24:30.839
I then shipped out all those uniforms. I took the
485
00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:33.519
five thousand dollars in profit and used to buy more inventory.
486
00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:37.480
And that's how I got that business started. So you
487
00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:39.680
don't need money. But there is one thing that is
488
00:24:39.759 --> 00:24:43.359
true about any of those. I gave you three examples.
489
00:24:43.640 --> 00:24:47.640
There's one common denominator between all three of those, and
490
00:24:47.720 --> 00:24:52.359
that is you have to make sales first. So you
491
00:24:52.359 --> 00:24:54.640
don't go quit your job and become a consultant. No,
492
00:24:54.839 --> 00:24:57.480
you pick up the phone, you start making calls. You
493
00:24:57.640 --> 00:25:02.279
get those sales first. You get those clients. Then you
494
00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:04.119
build up your in come and quit your job. I
495
00:25:04.119 --> 00:25:06.240
didn't go jump on YouTube and just quit my job
496
00:25:06.279 --> 00:25:09.440
and go after it. No. I spent three months making videos,
497
00:25:09.480 --> 00:25:12.079
building up my income, getting it up to twelve thousand
498
00:25:12.079 --> 00:25:12.720
dollars a month.
499
00:25:12.880 --> 00:25:13.920
Then I quit my job.
500
00:25:14.359 --> 00:25:16.759
I didn't just go out and spend ten grand on
501
00:25:16.759 --> 00:25:19.559
an inventory in my uniform business. I went out and
502
00:25:19.599 --> 00:25:22.799
made pre sales. So there's an old rule in business
503
00:25:22.839 --> 00:25:27.759
that sales solve all problems, and you have to make
504
00:25:27.759 --> 00:25:30.200
sales first. If you don't have the money, fine, go
505
00:25:30.279 --> 00:25:33.960
make sales, get that money coming in, then deliver the product.
506
00:25:34.240 --> 00:25:36.000
That's how you get started with no money.
507
00:25:36.400 --> 00:25:39.920
Wow, Scott, I mean you you did see a mouthful.
508
00:25:39.960 --> 00:25:42.839
I'm gonna be honest with you because a lot of
509
00:25:42.880 --> 00:25:45.559
times we don't understand what that looks like and feels like.
510
00:25:45.880 --> 00:25:48.640
We're also kind of a little gun shy. You know,
511
00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:52.839
there's some moments I can hear people being spoken or
512
00:25:52.920 --> 00:25:56.799
talk to out of an opportunity. You know, I don't
513
00:25:56.839 --> 00:25:59.920
trust you to give you X amount of money before,
514
00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:01.920
especially if you don't have a product in hand.
515
00:26:02.960 --> 00:26:03.720
I hear.
516
00:26:05.039 --> 00:26:09.279
The opportunity for that product to even be in shipped,
517
00:26:09.599 --> 00:26:13.799
Is there a delay, are there other inconsistencies with the product?
518
00:26:13.839 --> 00:26:15.880
You know, all those type of things. So I can
519
00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:19.319
hear where people can kind of come at them, make
520
00:26:19.359 --> 00:26:22.559
them feel little and all that type of stuff. And
521
00:26:24.519 --> 00:26:27.319
what I'm getting at is is that as you're saying that,
522
00:26:27.440 --> 00:26:31.880
you know, people have problems, people have challenges. So with that, Scott,
523
00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:34.400
where as people are dealing with these things and they
524
00:26:34.440 --> 00:26:38.440
need more inspiration for someone to talk them through the process,
525
00:26:38.920 --> 00:26:41.079
where can they talk to you? Because Scott, I have
526
00:26:41.119 --> 00:26:43.640
a problem. I need to talk to someone who knows
527
00:26:43.680 --> 00:26:46.519
what the business is like. I know, someone who has
528
00:26:46.920 --> 00:26:49.559
some answers, may not be every answer, but may also
529
00:26:49.559 --> 00:26:50.839
be able to point me into the.
530
00:26:50.880 --> 00:26:53.319
Right direction for an answer. So Scott, where can they
531
00:26:53.359 --> 00:26:54.319
find you and talk to you?
532
00:26:55.400 --> 00:26:56.000
Absolutely?
533
00:26:56.079 --> 00:26:59.640

547
00:27:50.640 --> 00:27:52.960

575
00:29:13.640 --> 00:29:16.119
Scott, I thank you very much for the end show commercial, bro,
576
00:29:17.720 --> 00:29:19.759
But I do have one more question. I got to
577
00:29:19.799 --> 00:29:20.839
ask you the main question.
578
00:29:21.880 --> 00:29:22.799
All right, go ahead.
579
00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:25.720
Would you rather choose three doors or a fork in
580
00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:26.480
the road.
581
00:29:27.599 --> 00:29:28.680
Yeah, that's a great question.
582
00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:34.480
And the super adventurous side of me would say pick
583
00:29:34.559 --> 00:29:36.640
one of the doors because you don't know what's mind
584
00:29:36.680 --> 00:29:39.559
it and it's super exciting. But the more rational side
585
00:29:39.559 --> 00:29:40.920
of me has got to pick the fork in the
586
00:29:40.960 --> 00:29:44.920
road because I think it's a lot like life or business,
587
00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:48.000
every single time is a fork in the road.
588
00:29:48.319 --> 00:29:50.480
Every decision you make is a fork in the road.
589
00:29:51.119 --> 00:29:53.599
Am I going to get this business started and take
590
00:29:53.640 --> 00:29:58.119
that narrow path that can lead to tremendous success and
591
00:29:58.240 --> 00:30:00.920
enjoy in the future, Or Am I going to take
592
00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:03.880
this wide path that most people take that seems safe
593
00:30:04.240 --> 00:30:05.960
until I get laid off from my job and life
594
00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:10.720
is miserable, and so for me, I think I would
595
00:30:10.839 --> 00:30:13.720
rather take the fork in the road. Just like Jesus said,
596
00:30:14.200 --> 00:30:18.559
the road to heaven is narrow, the path to hell
597
00:30:18.680 --> 00:30:23.440
is wide, and it seem is true in life and business.
598
00:30:23.680 --> 00:30:26.880
If you take that wide path, it can very often
599
00:30:27.000 --> 00:30:28.960
lead to a lot of hell in your life, especially
600
00:30:29.000 --> 00:30:31.480
if you get laid off or somebody gets sick and
601
00:30:31.519 --> 00:30:33.440
you don't have enough time to take off work to
602
00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:34.400
go take care of them.
603
00:30:34.759 --> 00:30:36.000
That narrow path.
604
00:30:35.839 --> 00:30:39.920
Is always, in my mind the way to go, because
605
00:30:40.200 --> 00:30:42.720
it might be a lot more difficult, it might be rockier,
606
00:30:42.759 --> 00:30:45.680
it might be a lot more hilly, but man, at
607
00:30:45.720 --> 00:30:47.759
the other side, it is all worth it.
608
00:30:48.759 --> 00:30:52.960
Most definitely, most definitely, Scott Man, I appreciate the words
609
00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:56.359
