Welcome, everyone to the Smash system podcast. I’m your host, Nino Prodan. A while back, I had somebody come to me and asked me if they could work with me. They wanted to start a business. And they told me that they were really, really motivated. And so I inquired, what made you become so motivated? And what they told me was that they were desperate. They needed to make $10,000 to stop from losing their house. And so I asked them, Do you have any capital to start? And they told me No. I said, Do you have a list of potential customers? And they told me No. I said, Do you even know what you want to sell what you want to create a business around? And once again, the answer was no. And so I asked them, you knew you were losing your house, you need you weren’t paying your bills. Why did you wait so long? to basically the point where you can do nothing. Until basically you can’t do Anything to save your home to start creating your business? I had to tell them this isn’t a get rich quick scheme. This is something that you build over time. And so they asked me, Well, what can you do to help me? How can I help myself? How can I do this now? And I said, Well, if your expectations are to get that money in the next two weeks to save your house from foreclosing, you’re going to need to look somewhere else. Now had you started taking action? months, even years ago, when you saw this coming, then there were probably something you can do. But now that you’ve waited to the last minute, now that you have avoided the problem this long, try to deny yourself that it was happening. There’s nothing you can do possibly get a loan from somebody but since you weren’t even able to pay your house payment. I’m not sure that’s going to be possible. Now I live in Vegas, and there might be some guys that you might be able to get a hold of they can help you out there, but there’s a good chance they’re going to break your knees. So I want to ask, would you have waited this long, there’s something that has been weighing down on you over time that you’ve avoided to acknowledge, avoided that it was real, maybe even have been overwhelmed by it. So you didn’t take action? What is preventing you from taking action? Is it the fear of the unknown? Well, it could be. And the reason you haven’t taken action is because the fear of the unknown is still not bigger than in this case, this person losing their home. I don’t know what your fear is. But don’t let it hold you back. And the way to do that is to change your perspective. Start looking at your life where it’s going to be in a year, three years, five years, 10 years. understand where your current path is going to take you. That we can make the consequences bigger than the fear of the unknown. Once you understand the ramifications of not doing something, you won’t be as afraid to take action. I’m Nino Prodan. And this is the Smash the system podcast until tomorrow.
