You have to decide to become a new person. And by the way, you have to recreate every day, which means you have to work on you from 18 to 39. I worked on my job harder than I believe. Everybody always says I'm the hardest worker in the room. Like you say it, you say it, I say it. Well, hard workers know that like, no one's going to outwork me. That was my deal. And by the way,
I was trained at 18, sacrifice for what you want or what you want becomes a sacrifice, okay? All the people that were my leaders, I looked back, they were all divorced. Their kids didn't know them. They were all fat and out of shape. They were all smokers. They all went out and drank. And by the way, you're not really aware of these things because I'm looking at their pay stubs.
I'm looking at how much money they're making. And by the way, I'm thinking, dude, if I could just make as much as they are, like all my problems. So we'll go away. So at 39, my wife's got a purse full of cash. I mean, I mean like we're good, right?
So, so I have an Oklahoma, you know, the average home is a nice home. You can buy for 125, 150 grand. We have a million dollar house in Oklahoma. Yeah. Nice, beautiful house. It's paid off. Um, we could buy what we wanted. I probably had a half a million in the bank for Oklahoma. That's a pretty good job. I'm being, being in Oklahoma. Um, we had our cars paid off.
I mean, we could get what we wanted. Yet, okay, I'm out of shape. Okay, I've lost my edge. Am I working my ass off? Yeah. When I'm home, I'm not home. What does that mean? I'm not present. I'm thinking about work tomorrow. Sunday? is I got to recover for Monday. So even if I was in a picture, I don't remember it. I just gave everyone leftovers. I was very selfish.
I never helped anyone change their life. Be crystal clear, there's a difference between helping people make a lot of money and helping someone change their life. I helped a lot of people make a lot of money. I never helped anyone change their life. I never had until I was 30. I never had someone come up to me and say, you changed my life.
They say, I'm making more money than ever, and that's changed my life, but only from an economical standpoint. I wasn't an example to anybody, an example to be the hardest worker in the room, how to be great at sales, how to influence, persuade, paint pictures, tell stories, sell ideas, sell situations. I was good at that stuff.
In my little dealership, that territory, that dealership, I was an animal. Outside of that, I was an introvert. I don't want to talk to anybody. I was too tired. I was burnt out. I was exhausted. And I thought this money from being broke was going to make me happy. So I'm doing better than everyone else thought I was going to do.
Yeah, married, three kids, and my wife. So she pulls this trick. By the way, just so everybody will understand, this is where a lot of people hate my wife. But they don't like to look in the mirror and own their shit. I always say all change starts with truth and honesty.
So my wife is one of these people that's like, look, do you want me to feed your ice cream like a 2, 3, 4, and 5-year-old and make you feel good? Is that what you want? You want to feel good? Do you want me to give you the little walk on eggshells, sugar-coated conversation where I can't tell you the truth because I'm going to upset you and offend you because you can't handle it?
Or do you want the cold, hard truth and do you want me to treat you like the badass you say you are?
Yeah, she's a hot-blooded Mexican, man. But by the way, I will tell you something. Leading up to this, I almost went to jail. I almost got in trouble. I almost had all kinds of problems happen. Do you know why? Because my wife used to be direct with me. And one day I told her, I'm like, babe, stop nagging me. Which it happens because, again, where do they train you how to be a great husband?
Where do they train you how to learn to take criticism? No one trains you. And by the way, all the people that I was working around, if I was to tell them, hey, my wife keeps swearing me out to do this and that, you know what they'd say? Dude, you don't have to put up with that shit, man. Dude, running with the wrong freaking people.
And so I get this, I get this ungrounded feeling where like, I'm the shit. Right. And by the way, I'm going to tell you this, like everybody, no matter where you are, I was in Oklahoma. This was, I was doing better than the most of the people that were around me. And, and this is where you felt good about yourself. Yeah. Like I was like, I'm, I'm independent. I'm bad-ass. I've lost everything.
God gave me all this. I'm taking credit for it. Right. And, and really I ain't even done nothing. That's how stupid I am because you know, I'm just ignorant. Right. But Jackie, one day I go through trouble and I realized my wife has always wanted to protect me. She's always been there for me. Everything that she said, like, hey, don't hire that guy. Hey, Andy, don't work for that guy.
I was making decisions based off money. And Jackie was saying, you make decisions based off your standards of what you stand for. And I'm like, yeah, babe, but, you know, like, if we could just, you know, two years, we could be in this new place and this new spot. And, you know, she's like, Andy, but that's not right. And I'm like, it's a gray area, babe. Why?
Because sometimes it's hard to take information from the person that's closest to you. Sometimes, like, it's like you guys don't show 20 years. You may be telling them something every damn day. And then one time, I have a conversation one time, and he's like, oh, dude, that makes sense. I'm going to change. And you're like, bro, I've been telling you for 20 damn years. And that's what my wife...
did on this day. So this day she decides, all right, this night before she heats up my food three times. I'm on my way, babe. I'll see you in 30 minutes. She heats up the food, has it ready. I don't show up. Hour later, are you coming or not? Yes, I'm on my way right now. I'm getting in the car. Heats up my food. I don't show up. There's always that one more deal. Always that one more deal.
You know what I mean? By the way, so you got to be careful who you're trying to please here. I took better care of my customers than I did my family. Now, listen, a lot of people can't say that. You know why? Because they don't own their shit. The truth of it is, honestly, if my wife told me something bothered her, I probably would ignore it and maybe try to fix it.
But if someone at work was having a real problem, I would step in like the hero. Totally screwed up, man. Again, leaderless. We're in a leaderless nation. I was leaderless. And I just, I needed an awakening, right? And so long story short, Jackie, come home one night, that heating up, heating up, heating up. She's like, fine. All right, tonight I'm gonna lay it out.
