I went from broke teen dad, scrounging around for rent money, to running a six figure facebook business on autopilot in six months. Listen in as I give away all the secrets that got me to six figures, and join me as I uncover and conquer the roadblocks on the road to seven figures. This is Andrew Pabia and you're listening to the Game of Entrepreneurship Podcast.

What's the problem?...

 

All right guys, so today on the game of entrepreneurship, I want to talk about being self aware. This is something that Gary Vaynerchuk talks about a lot and I think it really just needs to be focused on more by the general public. 

 

Sbeing self aware, what is that? I think being self aware is being able to recognize your inefficiencies. A, is that a word or is it deficiencies? I Dunno, right there, right there. That's one for me...

Vocabulary, how can I, how can I better myself? So yeah, that's the next thing. So really it's just recognizing a problem and then being able to fix it.

 

Now how do you do that? There are a number of different ways and that's just all a part of it. You just need to figure it out. What do you need to do to get better in this way so that you can continue to evolve, grow and kill it in your game of entrepreneurship.

Right. So, I think Gary Vaynerchuk actually has a book and if anybody has read it, let me know. Be sure to email me or something. And let me know how it is, I'm actually thinking about getting it, but uh, but yeah, just being self aware nowhere you are lacking and then do whatever it takes to, to, because, you know, the thing is a lot of people have this like they think they can't get better in a certain thing.

 

Like I remember when I was younger and I was in high school, I had an extremely hard time learning math. But the simple fact was, it's not that I could not, I just didn't. It wasn't possible for me to get better at math.

 

I just didn't have the drive to learn it. And so, uh, and I lacked from that. And that's, that's just, you know, that's funny like that I'm saying that, but I think, you know, I think schools to, to, to, to drift off here for a second.

I think schools are a behind. I think, uh, our school system is not evolving like it should be. It's not up to date with the times. Like, um, I think we're teaching, uh, the way that we're, the way we are teaching students is the way that we will be teaching students in an 1800.

 

They fell into a classroom when there are so many more ways to learn. And I also think that schools are lacking because they're not letting the kids, they're not letting you find out what you're good at it.

 

They're teaching you a curriculum and they're asking people who are not necessarily designed to be good at math or who have zero desire to be good at math to go learn math and learned extensively. And I don't think that's necessary.

 

You know, I feel like if I were to be able to get a little bit more business training maybe a little bit more, I'm a little bit more, you know, maybe in high school if they had like a public speaking or something like that, I feel like those would have benefited me the best because then it all in all, I always knew that I was going to be a leader of some sort.

And I'm still on my journey of becoming a leader...

 

I think that those things, if it were more catered to me, if school were more catered to the individual, it would help a lot. But guys, that's where self kicks in. You just have to know what, where you're lacking where.

 

Well, first of all, it all boils down to dangle, right? What do you want to do? What are you passionate about and what is going to stop you from hitting that goal? Where are you lacking and how can you get better at that?

 

So you can reach that end goal, right? That's what it's about is having an end goal, like really just hitting the end goal and being successful and uh, in whatever you think a success is now successfully, I always say is different for different people. But yeah, just it guys really take a like, do me a favor, take a second out of your day, think about it.

Where do you want to be? Then think about, okay, what do I need to get there? What do I need to do to get there? And then think about the steps along the way. What do you need to get better at in order to become more efficient so that you can get there faster, right? That's what we want. And it gets all about guys just know.

 

And then also know your limits guys.

 

Because I'll do this. I'll, I will say this, I have a really bad issue with a. So I don't know how many of you guys know this about me, but I have adhd and so I've, I was taking adderall from like second grade to like the end of high school.

 

And I remember at the end of high school I was like, you know what, I don't want to take this stuff anymore. I don't want to live.

I don't want to be dependent on this. And so I remember quitting it and uh, and I tried lifelike that for a little while and I just remember like, and it still happens to me even if I do take adderall, but I, like I get off track, you'll notice in this podcast that I, that I wonder, right?

 

So, uh, and even in conversations like I'll just flat out forget what people are talking about because it's not because I'm just focused on a lot of different things. Uh, like my short term attention span, my long term attention span is a little bit. But when I, the thing about me is when I have a goal, I don't know.

 

I don't know, like whether I'm on adderall or whether I'm not on adderall is like I'm able to really dial in on something with singleness of purpose and that is like, it really, I don't know if it's an advantage or a disadvantage guys because the thing is I'm always now I'm not trying to sound braggy in no way, but I'm, I'm always really good at something that I want to be good at.

Right? Or that I'm passionate about. I remember at one point in my life it was soccer. I was extremely good at soccer at when I cared about soccer and then, you know, and it was in this, I'm always one track. Like if I, if I'm in a lot of different places, like if I've got a lot of different things going on, like if I'm involved in several activities, a lot of times I'm not as good as where I'm not as efficient.

 

Right. So I'm not as good a. like for instance, there was a point where I was doing mma because I was passionate about both. Right. But I really, I have singleness of purpose in one thing and I think it's just the way my brain is designed, I seem to focus on getting better at something else while, because I'm really just dialed in, uh, on the, on the one thing.

 Right. So there was a time in high school when I was in MMA and in soccer,... and I continued to like that, but that season was just bad.

 

I was horrible that season, even though I had been really good in the past. Uh, I just wasn't focused on that. And that's just one thing about me. I really, really dial in things and that's what helped me scale my income in this past seven, eight months is because I committed to something I wanted this, I want to create a life for my family and the future.

 

But I will say this, I know I need to improve on maybe systems or improve on schedule and just uh, and just making sure I stick to that because sadly enough I get so addicted to what I do. I, I literally work for like 20 hours guys.

I don't sleep that much. I mean, uh, yes, I will get nights where I get a full eight hours, but for the most part I don't at all. And then I literally am on this laptop and I just get carried away because I really, I'm passionate about. I love the fact of like, I like being able to change people's lives. That's what I'm kind of doing right now. And so I got a business running a lead.

 

I'm doing lead generation for local business, uh, doing facebook ads and funnels...

 

And then I have a business teaching other entrepreneurs how they can create a life for themselves by doing the same thing. And so I'm really passionate about that right now. I'm passionate about being able to change people's lives.

 

It's really motivating to me. I was able to help a girl in New Zealand land a car dealer, client her first paid client and and that's extra, that's her first step on her journey.

 Like right? That's just the beginning. I was able to help a guy land a car client in, in Costa Rica and all over the US. There wasn't, there wasn't anybody who had a. So in the clickfunnels community that was absolutely killing it with a car dealership funnel. Not In the way that I had at least I had talked to some other guys who are supposedly experts in this space and they I saw flaws is that I'm going to say.

 

And so when I was able to create a funnel that destroyed it, like there was no question about it. These were hyper qualified leads for car dealers. I was able to give that back. I gave it to thousands of people for free and people started lending car dealer clients off of that and so to know that I'm literally changing people's lives from what I do.

Like I just get so hung up in that. And so I forget sometimes what's really important to me. Obviously what gets me motivated as creating a better and better life for my family, my son be able to give my son and my fiance amazing experiences.

 

And so I get so caught up in that that sometimes I'd neglect other things like I have, I have a bad thing about balance. I really need to. I need some mentorship on, on just finding balance in life, in everything. Right. Um, but again, that then will I be, would I be where I was at if I had balance in, you know, like was that, would I be able, would I have been able to scale if I didn't take on entrepreneurship with the intensity that I have for the past several months?

 

I don't know, but I'm still learning guys...

I'm still on my journey as well. Uh, but yeah. Yeah. So that's, I, I know that balance needs to be put in place because the simple fact is sometimes I get caught up on my laptop and then my fiance ends up going to bed alone and I feel so bad about it, but I've just so addicted to it and I think that's just the, that's it.

 

If you really boils down to if you really, really want to be successful, but you have that end goal in mind, keep in mind, that's my end goal is I want to make her happy. I want to make my son happy. But in the meantime I'm making sacrifice.

 

It's about sacrifice and how much are you willing to do, how hard are you willing to go? Uh, and so like I feel bad whenever she goes to sleep, but then again, I also see us on the beach and Ken Kuhn, sipping, drink out of drinks out of a coconut.

I'm just kidding. But no, really, like, I, I do have an end goal here. So just being able to, uh, upfront the sacrifice for back end gain is, uh, is very, very worth it. I try to tell people that all the time, don't get greedy, uh, just, just make the sacrifice now, uh, and it will pay off.

 

He's actually in the future, but yeah, guys, if you can figure out somehow, I'm not saying that I'm great, but if you could figure out how, what is it that you're passionate about, like very passionate about, then you'll be able to dial in like I was just talking about and you'll be able to focus on this with singleness of purpose, with purpose, and then it will continue to make you happy. You'll be addicted is there'll be something that you just look forward to doing all the time.

 

You're gonna continue to gain, gain, gain...

 

But just remember just to figure out how you can balance as well, but stay motivated...
