Yeah, well, I'm going to give you maybe three that have to do with the mind and maybe one about marketing because you're the marketing genius. So first with the mind is today, Margarita, today I value time more than money. The Margarita that washed cars value money more than time. So I would waste like a whole day doing some... dumb errand to say 50 bucks.
Today I will pay somebody 50 bucks and spend those six hours doing something that's going to bring me a client, a sale, or grow my brand. The second one is I have a solution mindset. You're always going to have challenges. Always. Some people, they're just like complaining and put themselves in the victim role. Being a victim is complaining about something you cannot change. The news.
the quality, the neighbor, whatever, that's putting yourself in a victim role. Putting yourself in a victorious, I call it a victor, a victor role is when you say, this is my life and I'm responsible. My life started changing when I stopped. I wanted somebody to come and fix my taxes, my business, my life. When I said, no, no, no, this is my life and I'm responsible. I don't care.
You know, I only focus in what I can control. So if somebody in my team comes and say, we have a big challenge, I'm like, okay, describe the challenge in five minutes. In the next 55 minutes, we're going to focus on solutions, right? And what we can control. And the third one is there's no scarcity of people and there's no scarcity of money.
Because a lot of people come out, I mean, crises are in your mind. So there's always opportunities. If you solve a problem, wherever there's a problem, there's a business, right?
Well, the first one was my mental health because people don't understand that it's a priority. Being in peace and ruling over yourself, like Cyrus the Stoic, you said many thousand years ago, said if you want an empire, you need to rule over yourself. So my biggest challenge was not having mental health, being stressed out, anxious, nervous, not believing in myself.
So that's the first thing you have to learn. to speak to yourself in the proper way, to use the right language because your focus and your language are everything. I can go to a party with you and we come back and Ray says, okay, how was the party? And you're super positive and you're like, oh my God, look, they had this amazing band and we had so much fun and look at the sunset.
Okay, and then you come to me and I'm like, it was awful. Look at this drunk guy. He vomited all over the carpet and these couple were fighting, right? And it's the same party. but where are you focusing your camera, right? So your focus and your language are the first things that are gonna give you mental peace. I never say problem, I say challenge.
Like people come to me during COVID, a lot of people think I'm a psychologist, I'm not. So they were like, oh my God, I'm stuck in my house. I would tell them, oh, that's a word, you're stuck, but you can also say I'm protected in my house. So once you change the words, the emotion changes, the focus changes. So you have to be very mindful of that.
That's in clear water?
There's two amazing things that you just said. And that's why I love talking to people that are high performance like you. The first one is you focus on what you can control. Mm-hmm. You have money and money gives you options because not everybody could do that. And that's why I keep telling people money is not the root of all evil. Money is very important because money gives you options.
Imagine you're stuck.
But think about it. If you're stuck in this place and you have no money, you don't have that option. So that's why I tell people money has got to be a priority in your life. It's not the most important thing, but it's top three, top five. So you had options and then you ask the right questions. Because a lot of people, I always say the quality of your life depends on the quality of your questions.
So people say, oh, why does everything happen to me? Because you're stupid, because a poor question, you get a poor answer. But you ask the guy, what do I need to do in order to move in tomorrow? Right. That's a good question. Yeah. Whatever it takes. So I'm always also thinking about my child. He's 19 and now kids want thousand dollar sneakers.
When I was young, they were like one hundred dollar sneakers and they were luxury. So he comes to me, mom, I like the sneakers and I don't ask him why is it so expensive? Because I don't want to put like a mental burden.
So I said, okay, so what can you do to buy?
What are you going to do? Of course you can have them. What are you going to do to buy them?
And then he starts thinking, well, if I take care of the cat of the neighbor and I walk the dog of the so-and-so, can you match what I make? Okay, that's fair, you know. But I teach him to ask questions.
That's not for people like us.
Totally. My father bless his heart. He's in heaven. But he would tell me, you know, when people are very, very rich, like filthy rich, it's because they did something bad. Right? Think what that does to the mind of a little girl.
