Meeting for M$LL$ONS

Yes Please !!!!!!

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!”
