Listen, do you know how tough it is to come up with the money for your taxes and those huge expenses in your company?
For years I've even maybe decades I didn't have a good system for that. Well about a year and a half ago I was introduced to Profit First, Mike Michalowicz and I want to tell you just to be totally honest, don't tell Mike I said this, but I thought it was some kind of hoax or scam or something you know. I've like I'm skeptical about that kind of stuff until I start really digging in. Well we read the book in the mastermind group together, it's called Profit First and I'm going to tell you, even after reading the book I thought now I'm not sure if how much merit I'm gonna put into this thing. How much validity is really there till a lot of the guys started saying, "Now we're gonna do this." And I'll tell you, I can't even begin to tell you how many guys in the mastermind has implemented that strategy into their business.

Credit card's good as long as that cash flow is good. As long as the money's coming in. There's not a problem you've got a job you making those payments. The point of the story today is, it's not a sin. It's not like terrible but it's best not to have those credit cards in your life. You'll be able to sleep better at night and I promise you, the confusion in your life when you do lose your job or you don't have the money will be minimal compared to what it is with those high balances.

Hey, there's a few good men out there. I want to tell you a reason I'm saying that. My family gets onto me a lot of times, they'll say, "Man you hammer these guys you're always saying what they don't do. You need to reach out sometimes and say the good things that they do." And it made me feel about that tall. I said, "Man, you're right you know." I do these guys pretty hot and heavy sometimes but I want to tell you something we've got some of the most outstanding men on the planet in Iron Sharpens Iron Mastermind Group. Now I got to confess a couple of things to you though in regards to telling you how happy I am and excited about the good job that they do. I planned an event coming up pretty soon and there was a number of guys that I invited to this event and one of the guys that I knew were going to be there. I mean it was no question he needed to be there and I needed him to be there. He turned me down bigger than Dallas! He's like, "I can't make it." And I'm like, "Well what is the deal? Where are you gonna be?" And he said, "Well my 17 year old daughter graduates from high school this year. She's gonna be going off to college and she's got an event at school and parents are asked to be there. And I don't want to miss it." And I'm like, "Are you kidding me? I mean this is a big deal event!" And he's like, "Hey, let me tell you something. This is a big deal. This is my daughter." And then I started thinking about I said. You know, he's doing exactly what I've been teaching all these years. He's excited me after I got mad! It excited me to think that he would stand up and honor his daughter more so than a business transaction!

Hey, do you realise that you own something that can't be bought? Let me tell you what it is....... It's your reputation. Do you realize fully how important your reputation is? Man, it follows you everywhere. You're building a reputation each and every day. With each and every transaction you're building your reputation. Your reputation follows you. It's something that you can't get rid of and many times in life we'll make decisions in the gray and eventually that catches up to you because it's your reputation. It's something that follows you how hard. Do you work on your character? What are you doing today to be above reproach? Are you honest? Are you doing deals every day that you wouldn't be embarrassed someday?
