My meetings with a Business Guru who I call rain man because
he can make it rain if you know what I mean. If you don’t know what that term
means click on the link-> http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=make%20it%20rain
While the first football season in my history was passing by
with me not playing in a single football game for 17 years, it was time to feel
out the real world.
Working hard at http://conditioningforoptimumresults.com
every day and playing with my family for the remainder of the day is a dream
come true, however that dream had an hour glass and time was ticking.
When I moved into a quiet neighborhood in a city called
Layton, a long seen acquaintance had showed up at our doorstep on the day we
were moving in. We hit it off as neighbors and he later introduced me to his
multi-millionaire, successful business guru friend who, had a job for me, and
in return the guru would help me with his experience.
I’ve heard of and seen people pay thousands of dollars to
attend seminars, workshops, to inherit: Keys to success, tips of high trades,
routes to glory, highly effective habits...etc.
I have received my
own set of exclusive “millionaire seminars” from an elite business man that I
wanted to share with my followers for free, in purpose to promote greatness and
to help my peepers out. Ha-ha
Let’s go! Session # 1
Our meetings took place in a pimped out office that measured
out to be 50 sq. ft. The walls were lined with authentic signed football
jerseys that were framed to perfection; a 50+ inch hi-def. flat screen mounted
on the wall, and one set of windows facing the east that gave a great spectacular
view of the Wasatch Mountains. Rain Man sat behind a U-shaped desk and I facing
him, with the east window to my back.
Sitting in his office, prepared with a notepad and a pen to
record any gems on paper, I was ready to receive any form of success he had to
offer. After some small talk, rain man engaged me and the quest for success was
in progress:
Rain Man: So what do you want out of
business?
Me: I want to make good money.
Rain Man: Let me tell you a story. 2
business guys vacationing on an island wanted to fish one day. They saw a
native relaxing under a Palm tree and asked if he knew of any good spots to
fish. The native’s eyes lit up in joy as he laughed and said, “Are you ready to
catch the more fish than you ever have.” The two business men laughed in skepticism
and said “yes.” So they all went out
fishing and the two business men came back with more fish then they imagined
catching. So impressed with the Native’s fishing skills, the two business men
went home and returned to the island with a group of investors. They located
the Native, who was relaxing under the same tree and proposed to him that they
would make him rich if he could command ten boats to catch as much fish as he
did with the two business men. The Native said, “I don’t need to be rich to
relax under a tree, and to fish when I want to, so…no I won’t do it.”
Rain Man: (continuing): I’ll
tell you myself, I won’t be able
to spend all my millions before I die. Is that what you want to spend your time
chasing; Money you won’t spend? Or do you need 21 million to relax as a coach,
teacher, strength coach…etc.?
Me: Those are really good
questions. (Thinking to myself, “My plan was to get rich playing football, then
be a high school football coach. Do I really need to be rich to coach high
school football?”) I realized needed to figure out what I would be happiest
doing in life and how much money I needed to support that.
Rain Man: So how much money are you eyeing
to make?
Me: 21 million will do.
Rain Man: Never put a number it, in
football that’s like worrying about catching the touchdown pass when you should
be worried about the snap count, and you’re first and 2nd steps and
the progression from there. Don’t put a number on it because you will set
yourself up to trip and fall many times. Start by deciding if you are going to
do what it takes and begin from there. It all starts with the simple things.
Don’t be the guy that walks by a piece of trash lying around in the office,
because that where it begins kid, with the small things. I myself leave
opportunities in forms of trash to see what kind of people I’ve got working for
me. The person that picks up that piece of trash is usually successful in life
and in my company. It’s a simple test and it tells me every time.
Me: Wow that makes so much
sense. My wife would pass every single one of these tests, especially if it
were clothes that were lying on the ground. Ha-ha (I interpreted it to myself
as: “Don’t let the ‘WHAT’ as in the end
result come before the ‘WHY’. Similar to the saying ‘don’t put the cart in
front of the horse.’
I realized that this one great
tip is valuable to all aspects of life such as: football and….and…hmmm. That’s
all I can think of right now besides business.
The meeting continues, but I
don’t want to give you a brain cramp so I’ll pick up where we left off, in a
few days.
So just like Ice cube says to
Smokey in the movie “FRIDAY” which I am now saying to you, “Aye...come baack!”
