By the way, what a incredible experience to go to a completely different cultured country as a blonde-haired white woman and be able to pour in entrepreneurship and visions. Really, really profound on multiple cultural levels. So you define it, then you declare it. My friends, you gotta talk about this stuff. Don't keep big visions in your heart. Now you say, my friends will make fun of me.
Listen, find people that will support you. Find people that will say, hey, you got what it takes. Find encouragers, right? You declare it. Visions that you hold into your mind, you won't hold yourself accountable to go chase those down. But when you hire a coach, When you tell a friend, you don't want to see them next week. And they're like, how's it going?
You're like, oh my gosh, I've made no progress. You want to be like, dude, I'm moving forward, right? And then third is you dedicate, you dedicate your life to it. You know, you go make this stuff happen. I tell people, you want to be a finisher. You know, Heather, I feel like we have a lot of big talkers and not very many finishers.
You know, you want to, Thomas Monson said, stick to a task until it sticks to you. Beginners are many, finishers are few. Be one of the few, be a finisher. And be the kind of person that if you say you're going to do it, you go make it happen. You know what I'm saying? You find a vision, you cast it out there, you define it, you declare it, and then you go dedicate yourself to go make it happen.
Those patterns create hope. That hope and vision answers the question, will it always be this way? And you can be the kind of person that people will follow because they say, listen, you've got vision. People want to follow you with vision. They want to follow you that says, hey, you can help me get to where I want to go.
Great question. I want to encourage all of us to press against all the personal development advice you get. Press against it. Like, how does that hit you, right? How does that hit your soul? Press against it. Because the goal is not to be taught what to think. The goal is to be taught to think.
James Bernard Shaw said that 2% of people think, 3% of people think they think, and 95% of people would rather die than think. So my friends, you want to be a thinker. You want to think through stuff, right? So I like questions like that. I think those are good questions. So here's my thoughts. A couple of quick thoughts off the top of my head as far as declaring your vision. First thing is this.
We have a tendency to have cognitive dissonance. We actually talked about it earlier. It's basically like I know what to do. I'm not doing it. I mean, I think all of us are like, I'm guilty of that, right? Sometimes when you put yourself out there, you kind of like put your credibility out there. You put your reputation out there.
It allows you to do things not because you know what you should do, but because you know others are watching you. And so you kind of step up because of that pull. That's one thing. I tell a story in my book and I'll make this quick. I did a men's physique show in 2017. This would have been, what is that now? Seven years ago.
My business was, you know, at that point we're doing about $120 million a year in revenue. We were like, you know, business thriving. Family was doing great. Kids were healthy. Life was great. But my health, my fitness, I remember looking in the mirror. I was like, what? No, what happened? You know, it was like, just, it was just below my standard. Right. And my body fat was higher than I wanted.
I just, I would just below the standard that I want to live at. So I set up a 17 week goal, hired a coach, hired nutritionist, the whole thing, 17 week goal. And I thought I'd made the decision I'm in let's go. I'm like, Mr. Personal development. I missed her decision. If I do it, I'm going to make it happen. Well, I did a, at the time, a live video on social media.
I was like, yo, I'm making a big change in my life. Here's what I'm gonna do. And I told this thing and I had to have her many hundreds of people on and that took, you know, thousands of views and whatever. And I just did it because I documented the whole thing. So I was doing it more honestly, build the brand and tell a story and the whole thing. That's the authentic reason why. Check this out.
Sunday night, my little girls after dinner made cookies, made chocolate chip cookies. My little girls at the time, seven years ago, would have been seven and five. These two cute little girls, right? They make these chocolate chip cookies. Remember that night, 1130, 1145 at night, I'm locking up the house. Everyone's in bed, lights off.
And I see the plate of cookies, you know, like the leftover cookies. And I remember just looking, I was like, oh my gosh, I could smell, I could smell, you know, the chocolate chips. And I was so proud of my little girls. And plus your daughter's made it. So you got to eat those. Those cowards don't even count because you don't, your kids made it.
And I remember thinking to myself, I could eat those and like wash the dish, put it in the dish. No one would even know. No one would even ask. No one would even care. But do you want to know why I didn't eat the cookies? It wasn't because my willpower is so strong. I didn't eat the cookies. And it's a simplistic example. I understand, but follow me through it.
The reason I didn't eat the cookies was because I told the thousands of other people, yo, I'm not going to mess up on this diet. I'm going to do exactly what I'm telling you I'm going to go do. So that declaration kept me in the game. It kept me true to myself and true to my words. So that's one thing.
A friend of mine sent this to former President Ronald Reagan at a National Charity Awards dinner in D.C. They're up on the stand next to the podium. Everyone else is in the rounds and the charity. And my friend turns to President Reagan. He says, President Reagan, how did you become the two-term president of the United States? And Reagan says, you know, it's interesting.
He said, when I was a young boy, I wanted to play football. And he said, I told some friends, I want to be a football player. And they go, Ron, you're going to get crunched out there. You're just a little guy. You're going to get killed. He goes, no. He goes, I ultimately played high school football. He said, I listened to those who believed in me. And I listened to those who told me that I could.
When he played high school football, he told some friends, he said, I want to become an actor. Like, I want to become like a famous actor, move to Hollywood, do the thing, you know? And his friends were like, Ron, you're a football player. Like, what do you know about Hollywood and becoming a famous actor? He ultimately became a famous actor. He said, I listened to those who believed in me.
And I listened to those who told me that I could. He said, when I was a famous actor, I told some friends, I want to become the governor of the state of California. They're like, Ron. You're an actor. Like, what do you know about becoming a governor and politics and the whole thing? He ultimately became a governor of the state of California.
