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...
All right guys, super. Got a super awesome talking to you guys. I can't wait to see you guys on the next one. Let's go!

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 is up guys? In the podcast, I want to talk about success and whatever you want. Success is I just mean general success, right? What I want to talk about, some of the advantages that helped me in my journey, uh, some of my disadvantages, some of what I think made the greatest people great and what made some people fail?
Right? So first of all, I don't want to. I don't want to say that I'm successful. I don't necessarily consider myself successful...
I do consider myself successful in some ways, but I'm not successful in everything. Like for instance, yes, my income in the past several months have, has made an insane jump more than like literally 10 next itself. Right?
But that all stemmed from something that, that came from me continuing to evolve and, and wanting to, to grow my knowledge and just being self aware of what my problems are and being able to fix them. Guys, I still have problems. I'm not successful in every aspect of the word.
Like I still have problems that I don't talk about just because not everybody, like not everybody wants to go first of all, spill out their problems, but not everybody needs to know my problems. That spills more.
Just negative energy on people. And why be negative when you can talk about your successes and tell people how they can get the same thing by sharing what worked for you.
So I really just like, I want you guys to know that I'm not perfect. I still have problems just like anybody else have my problems changed. Yes. Now I'm not as worried about, uh, being able to pay my bills and stuff like that. But more problems arise, I promise you that.
And, uh, as much as you know, your favorite guru or a whoever your fanboying or fangirling over, uh, as much as you really want to think that they are perfect and their life is perfect, I promise you they're not.
They're normal people just like me and you and they have issues just like me and you, uh, well, I mean they may not be the same issues given, but they are issues, right?
So I want to talk about what I think made me successful in being able to grow my income. So first of all, I want to go ahead and say that I know for a fact that it already starts with a mentality and I'm so glad that I was self aware enough to know that I needed to make a mentality switch.
And so what happened was I was interested in conor mcgregor. Conor mcgregor used to always talk about the law of attraction and stuff like that. So I got interested in the law of attraction. And then I came across this guy named Bob proctor.
Bob proctor a, broke it down a little further and you know, the law of attraction kind of sounds mystical, but Bob proctor broke it down in such a way that it made sense. He explained that the law of attraction works because the desire is there and the desire, if the desire, if you really want it, if you really want to achieve it, you can, if you can tell your mind that you can achieve it.
So basically we're all born with a, a pre, well not born. We're all born at a clean slate, right? And everything that were. Because in the, in our child age, like while we're, while we're, while we're babies and toddlers, our brain is like a sponge.
It's like, it's almost like plato, like it can be molded any kind of way. And so everything that we're around and everything that's in our environment is being soaked into our subconscious, uh, as, as children.
And so we, we develop this and it and we start, it starts to harden over time. And so like, um, so we start to be set in our ways, right? So like if we were surrounded by lack and limitation, you are going to continue to live a life of lack and limitation if you don't actively pursue a different mindset.
So if you don't actually try to change your mindset. And for me, I knew, well I didn't know obviously back then that it was mainly the mindset, but I knew something needed to change and my mindset was a part of it, right? So what I started to do was I remember sitting down after watching that video and that video really became part of me.
I watched that video over and over and over again. And even in the video he says, because the one way to get something into your subconscious is you just listened to it over and over and over until it becomes a part of you.
And so he says that in the video. He's like, listen to this video over and over again.
That's Bob proctor. I think, uh, I think it's like proctor gallagher or something on youtube. Uh, he's kind of an old. He's an old guy. He's got glasses, white hair. Oh, he's a, I don't know that God changed my life and he probably will never know it, but, um, I still see his ads and stuffies still, I mean, he's an entrepreneur like anybody else.
Obviously he gave that insane value to me probably to up sell me. But, uh, at the time I didn't have any money for the upsell, but I continued to.
I remember it was just that one video. I just watched it over and over and over again. It became part of me and then I realized I needed. He explained how to change your subconscious.
You need to, you need to, um, make something, a part of you and you do that by repeating something to yourself over and over and over again. If you have a goal, think about it in the present term, write it down in the present time, write it down and then put it into, well, my thing is to put it in front of me, right?
But really, you just write a goal down and you repeat to yourself over and over and over again. And we'll keep them on and like, like I just, the way my mind works, I, like right now I'm sitting in front of a board with my goals and my quarterly goal was 30 K in August, 60 k by the next inner circle mastermind and then build a 50 k audience.
Those are my goals. Um, and I think that last goal was more, well obviously for the quarter, but uh, but yeah, so like for me, it's having my goals in front of me.
You may not be the same way, but still you need to make something, a part of you, whether it be like you saying it into a, seeing it to, into the recording recorder on your phone and you listening to it over and over and over and again, and they're repeating it to yourself.
Because the thing is, when you repeat it to yourself, what kind of happens there is you kind of brainwash yourself. So like, like, like anything else, if you just continue hear something over and over and over again, even if you're the one telling yourself, you'll start to believe it.
And so that's what happened to me...
Uh, what I did was I wrote down a list of goals that I had a I had and one of them was actually one of the affirmations that I took was stolen from Bob Proctor.
And Bob proctor was a. Bob proctor was saying that, um, this is one that he uses and it's like I am so happy and grateful that money comes to me in increasing quantities through multiple sources on a continuous basis.
And so that was one of them. And then obviously I had more concrete money goals. But I remember continuing to say that and continuing to say that and continuing to say that. And before I even realized that I was actually starting to believe it, my income was going up.
And so, uh, that was like crazy to me. And it was just like, like literally, like, like the law, which like I was attracting money at that point in my life. And so, like the moments and just continued to build and continue to build.
And I can just continue to learn and evolve and adjust and do everything I possibly could to create a life for myself, create a life for my child and for my fiance.
And so that's just Kinda what I've built right now. Now things aren't perfect. Like I said, uh, that's just one aspect that I'm successful and I'm still, I mean, and people would actually consider that like a successful business, but nobody ever knows what's going to happen in the future.
But I do know this now with the knowledge, all the knowledge that I've accumulated in the past six, seven months, I am extremely, extremely confident that if my business were to fail tomorrow, I would be able to build a, another, another six figure business from the ground up in six months or less.
And I do believe that simply because of the mindset that I've taken on by being able to convince myself by being able to, uh, to, uh, to hack my subconscious, right, to really mold, really mold myself. You can, you can make yourself, whoever you want to be.
Guys, you just have to try. And there are so many people that, uh, that don't take action on things just because they have limiting beliefs and God's once you can get over those insecurities. And one way to do that is to simply write out your goals. And then again, repeat them over and over to yourself.
Then you'll, you'll start to notice the success is coming towards you now. Now Taylor, you're like actually, look, look inside of you. Think about what you really want to be, what you really want to do, who like, who do you want to be 10 years from now?
Write those goals down in present time and repeat them to yourself.
And I promise you, if you do it over and over and over again, your life will change. I remember my girl used to think I was so cheesy because I wrote my goals down and I taped them to over the radio in my car because at the time of my car or my car radio was broken.
So I take them over the radio in my car. So it'd be like the first thing I see, like you cannot miss it. And so, uh, and so she thought, I, I know she thought it was cheesy, she never said anything, but I honestly, at first I even felt weird doing it, but a, the simple fact is I know that my life started to change and it stemmed from that. It stemmed from taking that small action. It's nothing, nothing big.
But, uh, I think what happens is your brain, your subconscious mind, once you brainwash it, it really, it starts to actually desire those things.
Then there are, our brain is automatically designed to start solving problems to reach our end result, right?
So, like that's just how we're wired.
Humans are wired, we're always noticing imperfections, uh, and, and deficiencies in everything. And we're in like, the way we're designed is to solve problems.
And so, uh, when we tell ourselves, hey, this is our end goal, and then our brains get to start thinking, okay, how do we get there? We're not on track right now. This is what we need to do. And so if the desire is there and you can see it, you can see it in your mind and you have the courage enough to speak it to yourself, then it will become.
Guys, I hope that really encourages you guys. I'm telling you guys that really, really, really helped me. That is the main thing, aside from staying true to God and just having faith, I'm just just really convincing myself.
That was a great way to get over mental barriers...
Uh, you are blocked by some kind of mental barrier. Whether you believe it or not, something in your mind is holding you from your goal. Let it go.
Let it go. I'm telling you right now, take imperfect action. Do whatever you need to do whatever means necessary. Just go out there and reach your goals. I'm telling you guys, it's a lot easier than you think. Just just really write your goals down and, uh, and have desire. It's all it takes.
You guys have a good one...
