You have to get out of your comfort zone when you’re dealing with anybody. Those people are no more special or different than you.

And let me give you a little tip, those people want you to approach them. Who would they be without you? They would be nothing without your fanfare. They would be nothing without you buying their products. Those people would be absolutely nothing. And I want to encourage you to get outside of your comfort zone. Go up and meet those people!

I've been an Eagle now for two decades! 20 years I've been meeting with my Mastermind group with Dan Miller. What an unbelievable experience it's been. And I want to ask you today. How are you excelling in life? What are you doing? What are the people that you're around that help you? 

I want to encourage some of you today. Listen to me. You're not going to like this.

You need to get rid of some of the friends that you've got. These guys are not helping you. They're not taking you to heights that you want to go. If you want to soar with the Eagles, you can't run around with the turkeys! You have got to get around people that absolutely take you to the places that you want to go.

While I was working on the new personal assessment that I'm putting together for our community. When I was reading through the family section, it kind of touched me, my own heart. I started thinking about my own family, and my daughters and my grandkids.

Guys, listen, I want you to lean in. Family is the most important dynamic of what we deal with each and everyday. I am all fired up about making money. I love to make money. I never want to take away from making more money today. Don't hear me wrong. I'm not saying making money's wrong. I want you to go make all the money that you can. Absolutely. What I don't want you to do is do it at the expense of your family.
And what's difficult for some of you guys to hear right now is you're young, you've got a lot of financial obligations and responsibilities ahead of you. I know you're torn. I get it man. Listen, believe me, for 40 years I've been getting that. I understand it. But some of you guys are doing this success thing at the expense of your children.

Anybody can be a father but it takes a real man to be a daddy.

I want you to build those boundaries. And be careful. When you come home at night and your little Billy or Susie says, "Daddy can we play?" Man shut those electronics off and go out in the yard and play with those kids. They never ever will ask you "Hey Daddy, how much money did you make today?" They don't care. What they want is your time and listen. Spend the time with them. Don't cheat them out of the most important part of your day.

Don't come home exhausted. Man up and go out there an play with those kids. And I promise you the returns on that time invested will be invaluable.

Don't waste your whole life coming home one day with a pocketful of money to a house full of strangers. 

When you get old like me, fat and bald headed, you can look back and not have regrets.
Again, make all the money you can but man when those kids come up to you and say:

"Daddy can we go out and play?"

Just answer "Yes, I'm on my way!"

I have a tough thing for you to do that I'm about to challenge you with.

But I want to encourage each and everyone of you to just try this. Bear in mind for you newcomers I've got 38 years of experience in business and I've been an entrepreneur since I was 18 years old. So I am going to give you a task to do and just trust me on it. I promise you it will pay big dividends.

When you have a mindset of scarcity, that's exactly what you get. But when you have an abundance mindset, I am telling you it changes your whole world! And I want to encourage you guys today to go out there and help people. Give them the connections, the introductions, walk alongside them.

There is one tip that I always talk about and I don't want you to overlook.

In your marketing plan, do something for people that they won't expect. In your networking efforts, carve out some time for people!
