It’s OK Occasionally For Your Children To Be Disappointed

Posted by Aaron Walker and the VFTT Team on Jul 1, 2022 9:00:00 AM

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.

It Could Be Time To Get Over It

Posted by Aaron Walker on Jun 27, 2022 9:00:00 AM

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!

Patience Is A Virtue, However, It’s Also Required For Success

There is no silver bullet to success. It takes time. It takes patience. You have to invest in people, in relationships before you can even expect for anything in return.

Where Do You Do your Critical Thinking?

Posted by Aaron Walker on Jun 3, 2022 10:05:12 AM

I wanted to encourage you guys to do some things a little bit differently and I thought I would just share with you what I do. What I do is that I come over to this place, a park near Old Hickory Lake, periodically and there's these benches that are around the lake and sit and think and get away from the computer, get away from the phone and I write. I make notes. I just come over here kind of relax meditate for a little while and just think how am I going to accomplish a certain task that I'm setting out to do. So maybe it's crazy. Maybe you do all your thinking at the office but for me going to these parks the greenways hanging out looking at nature just thinking. But I’d like to ask you guys, where do you go to do your critical thinking?

You Don’t Need All The Answers To Get Started

Posted by Aaron Walker on Jun 1, 2022 9:00:00 AM

You don't have to know every single answer to get started. A Lot of you guys ask me all the time, “Big A! Tell me about your master play and tell me about all the things that you're accomplishing and how its laid out for you and how you had it playing?” And I'm like slow down a minute, man. Take a breath. I didn't have any of this stuff playing five years ago! When I started View From The Top. Many of you say, “Hey, I don't have the big picture. I can't see it and so therefore I'm not going to get started.” Listen, you're not going to know what it's gonna look like in its entirety. You just need to start. You need to get out of the gate! You need to launch! You need to go for it and then pivot and turn and you will figure it out as you go. Now, don't be reckless. Don’t get out there and do something crazy. Don’t do something with no plan whatsoever. In whatever it is that you're trying I just want to give you the courage today to launch! Just to get out there and then pivot and turn make the the adjustments that you need to in order to be successful. The scary part though is getting out of the gate. You’re like, “Oh man, I can't do this unless I have every “T" crossed and every I dotted.” I just want to tell you that's not true. You can figure this out as you go. Get trusted advisors around you. Get people that are smarter than you are. When you have the Council of the wisdom of the multitudes the people around you that meet with you on a regular basis that can guide you direct you, you too can launch.
