FUTURE FOCUSED!!! - What DEFINES YOU? The Future or Past Failures? - 001

[Music] I've built many startups most of them the fan so Bitcoin is exactly the place that I like to be we're gonna end it right there [Music] can you believe it this is the third time that I have restarted this this thing this episode this podcast this show this this whatever you want to call it we're rebirthing something here guys we're rebirthing something here again many of you guys know not many of you guys know some of you guys know especially those who have gone to come to our retreats our project retreats what we're doing with that yen and what we're doing in the crypto world not all of you know some of you know and you were there it is time to continue to experiment it is time to begin again as I be as I began to think about this first episode of

whatever this is going to be I have no idea guys what this is going to be well there's gonna be a podcast whether it's gonna show whether it's gonna be a stream whether it's gonna be a Sunday sermon type thing which I really want to do more of and some of you guys know what that's all about I really don't know what this is gonna be but I love moving forward I love doing I love helping like these are things that drive me these are things that keep me going these are the things that keep me wanting and desiring to pick up the mic and to continue to share and my voice isn't that important in the billions of voices that are out there that you could choose from my voice isn't that important but I will tell you this I'm willing to share and

I'm willing to help that's all I want to do in life these days I build stuff yes and I have a natural inclination to always build stuff because I know we are created to build and I did I think I did a Sunday sermon on that and I definitely want to come around and talk about that again I've always build building is just so much fun I was talking with a couple guys the other night and one of the conversations that we were talking about is how different individuals look at business strategy differently and in many ways the the reason that there might be different is its business strategy can merely come from the fact that the two individuals in leadership are just in two completely different stages of life and that is something that it is not irreconcilable this is something that is completely

reconcilable but it needs to be understood right that being in a different stage in life allows you to see things from different vantage points and sometimes it can be hardened your vantage point your viewpoint in your opinion can be so hard and because of that stage in life I don't even know where I was going with that guys see this is how crazy this is but I just want to help I just want to continue to give I'm in a stage in life where I always want to I will always build but there's something that Ike and built building for me building for me is like breathing I mean I need to revisit this topic of why we build kind of an inspirational idea of why we build I definitely want to talk about that I mean building for me is like breathing I don't

just want to help I just want to continue to give I'm in a stage in life where I always want to I will always build but there's something that Ike and built building for me building for me is like breathing I mean I need to revisit this topic of why we build kind of an inspirational idea of why we build I definitely want to talk about that I mean building for me is like breathing I don't have to think about it I wake up every day and I want to build something new I want to tinker with something I was talking with these guys about the the difference is right and I just like the process I like tinker and I like getting under the hood I don't want to pay you know yeah I do have to pay because I have limited experience sometimes

with these cars but man I put at least 60 hours under the hood of that radical that my new race car and I loved I loved all 60 hours learning about that this this new race car that I bought it's awesome some people don't want to do that they just want to pay then one just wants to hey I'm at a different stage of life I just want to pay pay someone else to do it not just enjoy the fun yeah that's never meet guys I like getting in the weeds I like understanding how it works I like understand how it ticks right and so I always build but there is something that I don't have to do there's something that I want to volunteer myself to the world I want to share I want to help people I want people to listen to what

I say not because it makes me bigger but I want people to listen to what I say because I'm offering it to you for [ __ ] free and that's all my I mean I will never have all the right answers and I will never certainly have all the solutions but for those who've been with me for two three plus years now of me being more online and engaging and present and active online you guys know this brother doesn't stop I don't quit I there is no quit in this game and so I'm starting again I'm starting again and I and I'm excited about it I don't know what this is gonna look like right now I feel like I've been rambling but I hope that I've given you guys some context for where my mind is that and I want to do more of

these I want to do more of just me talking into the mic about something that's on my heart today or has been on my heart for a while or on my heart whenever I just want to share it because I don't think people are given enough of this what's on their heart I mean you know what I was talking with the guy I talked with a lot of people you guys know I'm always out and about but I reconnected with with my friend will and well I'm gonna shoot you over there someone let you hear it let's talk when my boy will and one of the things that we were talking about is that I told him that so much of my job so much of my work as a consultant in the past helping other people helping other leaders and executives was less about

of people you guys know I'm always out and about but I reconnected with with my friend will and well I'm gonna shoot you over there someone let you hear it let's talk when my boy will and one of the things that we were talking about is that I told him that so much of my job so much of my work as a consultant in the past helping other people helping other leaders and executives was less about strategy in tactics product development and process improvement engineering improvement right and systems thinking and all that all the stuff that I know but more the deeper stuff that I worked with these executives in these leaders on or to really two things number one self care no no no I'll talk a lot about that in the future I spent more time as a counselor at the executive level

of companies than anything else guys but number one self care man and number two being a better communicator and that's what I was telling will I was told well I said I have spent decades mastering to the best of my ability the craft and the art of communication you may have a great idea my friends you may have a world-changing idea my friends but if you can't communicate it to the world that they aren't they ain't gonna be able to hear you and they certainly ain't gonna be it would understand you and so I've gained some knowledge guys throughout my limited years on this planet and I've honed my craft to be able to communicate what I've learned so guys I want to give more and I want to give consistently and I want to find a model that is sustainable for me and hopefully

for you guys so that that that I that I will never feel like it's number one not sustainable but I don't want to feel like I'm we moving close to burnout I want this thing to be absolutely an enjoyable experience every time I turn on the mic and I want you guys to be able to hear that in my voice I want you guys to be able to feel that through my voice and be able to say man Peter's energies on point like this is right this is real and so I just want to share and I want to help and I want to engage with you guys in small ways I want to give of my time because if I can help you guys level up if I can help you guys grow if oh if I can help you guys crush it then

my life is even more fulfilled as I was thinking about this new system this new show this new podcast this new medium whatever it's thinking about a theme topic and idea and one of the things that I was thinking about is them is what defines you and so in this first episode let's just call them that for now in this first episode guys after out that long-winded ten-minute context now you've caught up I want to talk about what defines you I'm gonna be speaking in generalities and it's gonna be applicable to everyone out there and so if you're taking notes now's the time there's many ways that you can define yourself but I'm gonna look at the higher level Netta of your life and I'll just pick to make it black or white yes or no you're in you're out we'll make it very simple

ten-minute context now you've caught up I want to talk about what defines you I'm gonna be speaking in generalities and it's gonna be applicable to everyone out there and so if you're taking notes now's the time there's many ways that you can define yourself but I'm gonna look at the higher level Netta of your life and I'll just pick to make it black or white yes or no you're in you're out we'll make it very simple here guys you can either number one be defined by a vision of your future or number two you can be defined by the failures of your past let me say that again you can be defined by visions of your future or you can be defined by the failures of your past you see the reason why this particular topic was so close to heart in my mind is

because I have just completed or let's just say gotten to an endpoint of a project that I did for 73 days we we we we hit terminal velocity and then we hit terminus we're done and I believe the world can look at that and say wow that's a failure but you guys know I never looked at it that way these things are never failures man the things that I have learned my brother and asked me he asked me a very pointed question he said what did you learn from this experiment from this project and it was easy I responded so quickly in text I responded right back and I said I once again proved to myself what I am capable of what I what I am but I am able to do in 73 days I am able to create a machine a social media

machine I am able to create influenced expansion I am able to create apps android apps iPhone apps I am able to create web sites and platforms and architecture for the future I am able to create crowd I am able to create interest demand and intrigue these are things that I've been able to do not on my own but with everyone else's help because I asked for it because whenever I start a new project I ask I say guys I'm starting something new help a brother out and you know what it's great people come in they help and so this isn't anything that I've done I guess the only thing that you could give me credit for is that I asked and I work my ass off but I will never be defined by the failures of my past I will only be defined by my

vision of the future the past is gone my friends the past has passed it is vapor it is the mist it is the smoke that is barely visible to the eye it is gone never to return only if you conjure it up in your mind at moments when you are weak because in the moments when you're a weak that is when the moments of failure spring to life and they say Jim you remember this sue Susie remember when Peter I can't believe it's past it's gone the vision of the future that I have is so so much more than anything that is past it is almost irrational to ever consider to ever consider the past now you guys have heard me say and I had spent a lot of time and we did this in our last project retrospective I loved it I loved looking

life and they say Jim you remember this sue Susie remember when Peter I can't believe it's past it's gone the vision of the future that I have is so so much more than anything that is past it is almost irrational to ever consider to ever consider the past now you guys have heard me say and I had spent a lot of time and we did this in our last project retrospective I loved it I loved looking back I loved looking back and saying what have I done how can I improve how could I remind myself of good practices good behaviors good things that I've done so I can continue to persevere in these good practices behaviors and things that I've done because these are things that will help me succeed but what I mean by looking back is allowing the past to control my future

irrational ridiculous is how I say why would you ever allow for a vapor a mist in femural nothing why would you allow your future to be held a prisoner by a nothing let me say that again why would you ever let your future be held prisoner of nothing nothing there until you march forward you continue forward you start again you create again one step in front of the other 1% every day the vision of your future will be the driver for your success you have to remember it every day you have to preach it to yourself every day because guess what ain't nobody ever gonna remind you of your own dreams ain't nobody ever gonna tap you on the shoulder say brah do you remember that dream you got ain't nobody gonna do that cuz you ain't got anybody like that in your life and

if you do bless ya and I'm so happy you do but most people don't and so it's up to you to remind yourself of what defines you whether it's going to be some nothing from the past that hurts it scarred you yeah it changed you excellent deal with it what else do you want from the world because no one will ever be able to experience that which you have experienced in the past and so for you to have any expectations of deep understanding empathy and sympathy of others so that you're gonna swage the guilt of this nothing that happened its guards you but was ten years ago five years ago two years ago two weeks ago I don't care the faster the faster you wake up and you realize that your future is all you got well some people have told me that we do

have what time travel technology it just hasn't been released to us plebs yet so considering that considering that I haven't had any privilege of being given access to said technology I will say at this current point in time that you can't ever go back you're only facing future and so be defined by that vision that you have for your life now we have spent so much time guys talking about how to craft a vision and if you don't know I do that you didn't find your way over to the Bitcoin dot pub be 90 X section and there's a whole section on creating vision you can do that but guys that's what I wanted to talk about with you guys in today's first episode is that if you'll continue to listen to me I promise I will continue to share as much as I can

guys talking about how to craft a vision and if you don't know I do that you didn't find your way over to the Bitcoin dot pub be 90 X section and there's a whole section on creating vision you can do that but guys that's what I wanted to talk about with you guys in today's first episode is that if you'll continue to listen to me I promise I will continue to share as much as I can and as best as I can share this episode with anyone that you think needs it just mash the like button subscribe guys I haven't created any ceremonies yet so I don't even know how to close this signing out guys tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music]
