Fri-Date

About 10 years ago, Chris Ducker publicly committed to getting free from his brick and mortar business and becoming a virtual CEO. And just one year later, he did it.

Chris now owns one of the most effective outsourcing companies in the world, Virtual Staff Finder, and is the Founder of the leading personal brand business education company, Youpreneur.com.

Following his journey really motivated me because I want to get free of my brick and mortar business, and I know a lot of you do, too – so this is the perfect opportunity for us all to learn more about getting levarge, together.

In This Conversation We Cover:

[3:35] The quote on Chris’s door: “The way to being nothing is doing thing”

[8:30] Telemarketing & bartending

[11:20] Working in the Hong Kong film industry & meeting Jet Li

[16:00] Launching Virtual Staff Finder

[17:00] Who should & shouldn’t use outsourcing

[18:55] The biggest mistakes people make when outsourcing

[20:55] What Chris does NOT outsource

[26:45] Living in the Philippines

[36:00] Starting the Virtual CEO vlog

[37:55] What got Chris out of his brick and mortar business

[44:30] How Chris overcame the darkest periods of his life

[49:10] Being a Youpreneur & building your authentic, no BS brand online

[51:40] Playing hard with the family

[56:30] The last time Chris cried tears of joy

[1:02:10] Rapid fire questions

The Cardinal Rule of Outsourcing

Chris is the king of outsourcing at this point – but there are still some things that he doesn’t outsource: anything that ONLY Chris can do.

Chris writes his content, creates his videos, and guests on podcasts because no one else can do those things.

But if it’s possible for someone else to do a task, Chris systemetizes it by creating a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), writing it down in granular detail, and assigning it to someone else.

When you master this simple system of prioritization and outsourcing, it guarantees that your time is only spent on the things that have the greatest return on investment for your business and life.

Healing Back Pain by John E. Sarno

Today’s Topic: How we messed up & succeeded in parenting... all at the same time!

Parenting is so worthwhile, but this shit ain’t easy. These little humans don’t come with a manual, and you WILL mess up.

For today’s Fri-Date, Kim and I chat about the most important key to parenting, the importance of the first 5-7 years, and how to avoid letting your past insecurities leak into your parenting. Full disclosure: we are not specialists, we’re just parents. But we’ve learned a lot over the past 15 years, and we’d like to share it with you.

What’s the most important thing we learned?

You’re going to clash with your significant other, at some point, about how to raise your kids. Kim and I came from wildly different backgrounds, and as a result, we do things in wildly different ways.

But you can’t let that division manifest in your parenting – you have to present a united front. You have to teach your child that, when a decision is made by either parent, that is THE decision.

One tool we have is a safe word – Silver Squirrell – for any time a situation might come up when our child tries to ask both of us the same thing, looking for different results. So if the kid comes in and asks one of us for ice cream for breakfast, we’ll pull the other aside or a send a text with the safe word, even if we don’t have time to fully explain.

We all want to maximize our business and put more play into our lives – but today’s guest, Tommy Baker, really lives his life this way.

Tommy made the decision to leave NYC and head to Phoenix, AZ, where his heart called him to be, and now he’s living his passion by growing the Resist Average Coaching Academy.

We dig deep into the nuts and bolts of how anyone can create measurable change in their life – I took a ton of notes, and I think you will too.

In This Conversation We Cover:

[3:15] What it was like growing up in Colombia VS the U.S

[8:35] The #1 self-development tool

[9:30] Tactics you can use to make 2018 the best year of your life

[14:15] The three C’s of massive success

[15:45] Experiencing breakthrough & acting on your revelations

[18:00] Insight & integration

[20:00] Key ingredients to executing your vision

[23:40] Emotional intelligence & awareness

[30:45] The Daily 6 (six daily habits that all entrepreneurs should have)

[31:45] Choosing where you live & designing an environment that supports you

[36:10] How you can find more space in your life

[40:10] UnResolutions & goal setting

[42:50] Getting 1% better every day

[45:00] What you can do if you know you want to do something new, but don’t know where to begin

[56:00] The behavior that Tommy is currently trying to change

[1:01:20] What’s currently on Tommy’s vision board

[1:03:15] The one indulgence that Tommy allows himself

[1:06:30] Challenges with growing a business & relationship, simultaneously

[1:07:30] Nerves & public speaking

The #1 Self-Development Tool

People often ask Tommy what the #1 self-development tool is, and he always has the same answer:

“Go travel, and if you can, travel alone to a cultural that is unfamiliar to you – because you learn real quick how to be humble, you learn real quick how to have perspective, you learn real quick how to harness communication skills that are going to help you for the rest of your life.”

The Three C’s of Massive Success

Clarity. If you ask someone, “Where will you be in five years,” most people don’t have an answer for you; they won’t be able to tell you exactly what they want to create. If you don’t know what it is, how can you achieve or create it?

Consistency. Clarity is a daily practice, and you have to be consistent with that practice to maintain clarity.

Certainty. If you are consistent with your clarity long enough, you will develop certainty, which is just self-trust; “a self-reliance in who you are, what’s important to you, and where you’re headed.”

If you combine these three things, it’s just a matter of time before your dreams start coming to life.

The Insight Integration Process

After we have insight, we need to change our behaviors for it to have any impact on our lives, meaning we have to integrate that insight into our lives.

“We integrate by taking inventory of our patterns, routines, habits, mindsets, the media we consume, our relationships, what we eat, what we drink – all of that stuff.” Then, we begin to make changes.

There are three steps to the integration process:

Knowing

Doing

Being

After we make those changes, and that original insights seeds a new habit, we become the principles that we learned by living it every single day.

Tommy gamifies good habits for himself and his clients, tracking them on Wufoo.

Every single day, Tommy practices…

Gratitude

Meditation

Encouragement

One purposeful action for his business

“I think tracking is massive, even with simple things like our habits and routines.”

UnResolutions: Setting Better Goals

92% of resolutions go nowhere, for two reasons: a change in the calendar does nothing to create change in your behavior or life, and people tend to set half-hearted goals; “people are interested in things, but they’re not actually committed.”

People expect their resolution to be at level 10 – something that creates massive...
