It's okay sometimes for your kids to be disappointed. I’m talking about this morning is that when the kids get older and they get out there's gonna be an an area of disappointment that they're going to experience and if they don't experience some level of disappointment today they're not going to be able handle it as adults.
I just want to tell you parents don't beat yourself up today. If there's things that you can't do for your kids and I really see this a lot in in guys that our coach today that have done very very well financially and they think well because I've done well financially I've got to give my kid everything that they want. That is not true! I can just tell you right now that is not true! I want you to give your kids the things that you think that they need and things that they don't need, don't give it to them. I don't care how much money you've got because you're not doing yourself or the kid any favor whatsoever and giving them everything that they want, that's just not reality. That's not what life is going to do for them long term. If you don't teach them to deal with disappointment today, they won't be able to deal with
disappointment as an adult.

I am conservative in nature because I choose to live that way. But when it comes to my tools to do my trade, to produce the best quality and get to the next level or the conference that I need to attend to hone my skills, I AM ALL IN!
How about you? Are you too frugal for your own good?

If you have lost someone, there’s a time we need to grieve but there’s a time to pick yourself up and move move on. There are people around us - - - our spouse, children (and grand children, if you have any) who are being cheated as a result of you not moving on do the things that you regularly do - things that you enjoy and love doing.
My encouragement to you today is, or my question to you is, don't you think it's time to move on? I mean isn't it time whatever that is, whether it's a business loss, I don't know maybe it's a relationship that went bad, maybe it was a divorce, maybe it was a financial crisis, maybe you were bankrupt or you keep kicking yourself and blaming yourself. Well guys listen, primarily I'm talking to you men, we have people counting on us and depending on us and we have responsibilities to our family first of all. Your family may be tired of you wallowing in your sorrows - pick yourself up and MOVE ON!

Are you too tight for your own good? Let me tell you what I mean by that man. We need to be generous people! What I’m saying is this from a percentage-wise. We all can be very generous and I want to talk about specifically people that take care of you because they deserve it first and foremost. The second reason is, it's good for you. We need to show a sense of generosity. We need to be grateful for the people that are taking care of us. I know when I travel around and speak and go to conferences, if I'm going to stay somewhere like three or four nights, the first night there after they've cleaned my room, I'll write a note and say “Thank you for doing an outstanding job! You guys killed it and I want you to know how much I appreciate it!” And I'll put five ten or fifteen or twenty dollars depending on how long I’m gonna be there for. Then, my room looks like a museum the rest of the week. They're very nice! they're hospitable to me and everything that I do throughout the week any requests they honor it and they feel it. Listen a few dollars goes a long way but just to say thank you to people that take care of you is a big thing! Guys we've got to have a switch our mindset it can’t be "how little can I give”, "It is their responsibility”, 'they're getting paid”…...we can't do that and expect to have great service. So I want to encourage you today to change your mindset just a little bit show your gratefulness be a little bit generous with those people that are serving you and take care of you and you watch how things change for you long term.

As an entrepreneur for 41 years now, I have faced making difficult decision. Do you make the honorable choice the right decision even when it doesn't fit your plan? How do we expect our children to have a manner that we're proud of them if we as adults are doing these go arounds …… we're finding these loopholes in order to meet our needs? I’d like to encourage you to do the right thing! It is hard! But I want to tell you something. You’ll sleep better at night. There'll be better repercussions as a result of you making great decisions from an integrity standpoint.
