The Home Service Expert Podcast · Achieving 500% Productivity Through Flow States · 10 Jan 2025 podcast

I find people just, I think, let me just ask you one question here. A lot of it has to do with trust and getting burned along the way. Because like, if you can't trust people to get things done, I know a lot of people think if they don't do it, it won't be done right. There's no delegation skills. There's no ability. And people let you down. And no one will do it as good as you.

And a lot of people are closed. Most people in business tend to rely on themselves. They become the worker. I mean, this is Michael Gerber. Like you come in as the worker and you stay in that worker mode versus entrepreneur mode. Have you noticed any of that is like the power of delegation?

Perfect is the enemy of... Good is the enemy of the great.

The idea about it is no one knows how to get started for the most part. It's got to be perfect. We're not ready for that. We're just not ready. And I'm like the type of guys we are. We jump out of a plane, we build a parachute on the way down. I'm like, shoot, ready, aim.

They said his ability, most people take two weeks to make a decision, like a big, big decision. These big decisions, he makes in 30 minutes. He walked into the Twitter like location and they said, you can't move. You can't move out of this building and all these restrictions. And he said, we just unplug here. We'll see if Twitter goes down. He unplugged all the servers. It stayed up.

He just, this idea of making decisions quickly. And what I find is when I'm stressed and I have anxiety, it's because I'm lacking the ability to make decisions quickly. Like there's something festering. So the more I listen to that good voice, that hard voice that says, no drinking, get your sleep, go on the cold plunge, do your long walk. The easier it is to do harder things that day.

It's like it starts to compound and it starts to get easier.

My problem with that, just thinking about that, It's like, I do not really get a hold. I get satisfaction when I get out of the cold plunge, but I don't love the feeling when I first get in. And I don't love the feeling of sitting in that sauna past 17 minutes. I don't love the feeling, a lot of the feelings. 17 minutes. Yeah, 17 minutes.

It's at about 130.

Well, you know, cold plunging is three to five minutes.

So, you know, NVIDIA, the CEO says, if I would have known business from the start, there's no way I'd do it again.

So I go to this question, who, not how, When somebody says it's impossible, I say, if I gave you $100 million and I gave you access to 100 of the most, the best specialists in this, I would not say, like, I called you all the time, like, who's the best at this? And I pay for access. I mean, literally, like if you take money out of the equation, it's like, why would you not go?

If you want to learn how to surf, why not go with the best that knows how to get you from zero to hero the quickest? I think a lot of people that go, they want to say no because they say it's just not possible. And if you get the right people around you, like if you got the best marketer in the world that's known for doing books, they only work with three clients a year.

You can probably get that time from four years down to three. Oh yeah.

And if we wanted to, tell me a little bit about Zero to Dangerous. So you actually trained this and-

I love this. Well, listen, I really appreciate you guys coming in today. This was a great podcast. And we went about two hours and 10 minutes, according to Giuseppe.

I love it. No, it's genius. And like I could sum it all up. I mean, literally remove the distractions, do the hard things first, set small goals that compounded a massive goals that, you know, change your life. And when you reflect back, it's the big things that you got done. And there's so much more and so many details to some of this two hours, but I really appreciate both of you.

It was really fun.
