The Hardcore Closer Podcast

I'm going to share something with you and I'm not trying to brag, but lean in and listen carefully......

The audience......you know the one you thought you could fool and manipulate?

Well, they got smarter in the last year and a half.

And it's all thanks to tech and the advancements of A.I.

Your everyday consumer is on ChatGPT, watches tons of media daily and is woke to your cleverly concocted offers.

But here's the bad news for you......

You're going to have to work differently to keep their attention.

Engage them better.

And provide an irresistable offer no one else (including A.I.) has thought about........

We're doing things a bit differently at Closer Cap and stacking our tech like Godzilla and King Kong.

If you're not sure where to go, you've got to start with what you're offering to help people with.

Bring your notepad for this one.

And get ready to put in some work!

If you're a speaker or coach and that's all you do for a living, your industry is about to be over.

It's not just your industry, but many others.

No one is going to continue paying $50K-$100K per year to be in a mastermind.

Everyone has had to drop their prices, including me.

All of this has to do with A.I.

Demand versus access.

Right now, you have maybe 5 years to really catch traction in something else.

Universal Basic Income is going to be a thing. If you're not sure what that is, it's where everyone who is not running a business or working in a needed position that A.I. hasn't replaced will be given a universal basic income. (Think of it as socialism).

Heed the warnings.

The signs of the time are amongst us and your next pivot is going to determine where you come out in everything.

Research.

Grow and develop your skills.

Change is coming and will not wait for you to catch up!

Let's flash forward into the future 3 years.

You're applying for a job and you're going up against someone with an MBA. That person is well-qualified and is probably the more attractive candidate for the job.

Let's say you have an Associates degree, but you happened to learn A.I. along the way.

You've implemented it in every single job you've had over the last 3 years.

When it comes time to getting an offer letter, if the person with the MBA hasn't mastered A.I., they're not going to land that job over you.

That's the good news.

Keep in mind, companies like Sony are not going to come here and invest tons of money and ignore cheap labor.

Sure, they'll be here for a season, but the United States is not going to pay the high wages commanded by the American workforce, especially when there are ways to scale a company by simply using A.I.

There will be no unions to pay, 401K, retirement, etc.

It's not a viable proposition.

I say that to say this............

A couple of years ago, I had close to 100 employees.

Today, I have 30, thanks to A.I.

Each one of them knows how to leverage A.I.

They are agents of A.I. and this is what future employers will be in search of.

So, if you're thinking about what you should be focused on now..............it's becoming an agent of A.I.

I was in a Facebook group with mortgage professionals a few days ago and I noticed one person was asking about getting a printed copy of marketing materials I was sharing.

Instead of clowning on the loan officer, the group turned their attention to Real Estate agents citing how important it was to share their marketing materials with real estate agents and hard selling them on selling you as a loan officer.

None of the suggestions were the right answer and it boils all down to one thing.

That one thing requires you to ask certain questions, like, "What does this person need more than anything in their business?"

"How can I best help this person with their marketing efforts?"

Simply, it starts with not making it about you.

The truth is, it begins with becoming a person of value.

So, how do you become a true person of value?

It's not fancy marketing materials, or flashy websites, or co-sponsorships........

It's something more.......

Lean in and listen to find out.....

I am not a person who likes to do things the easy way.

My whole life, I've done nothing but do shit the hard way.

And let me tell you..........

The hard way is expensive.

It's painful.

People steal from you.

They run your name down.

They try and snuff out your business, your family, and even take your soul.

Here's what I know about being a hard head.

I'm grateful because of the experiences that gave me the lessons.

I learned how to be a better judge of character.

I learned how to be a good steward of my resources.

I've learned how to be a better father, husband, and businessman.

If I were to do everything I've done in my life, even as painful as it was, I would do it all over again, and not change a thing.

You can go the easy way, but it's a shortcut and you'll do yourself a disservice and miss out on the wisdom you need to truly elevate you in your life.

Success really isn't that difficult.

We waste so much time worrying about what other people have and what they do.

Then we invest our time copycatting what others have portrayed in real life and social media only to find out it's not entirely true.

Success is subjective and the experience is different for each and every person on this planet.

Some value having more time with their family and creating a life that supports this.

Others value having big cars, fancy clothes, and other luxury items.

While others simply see success as building a business that funds a bigger mission like a charity.

But what does it take to be successful?

There's no secret.

But you'll be amazed the one thing you have to do to create it.

It's amazing what you can accomplish in a year that seems like nothing day by day.

I used to see Realtors do this.

"How are things going for you?"

Realtor: "I'm so busy. I had 3 closings last month."

Most people waste time hurrying up and waiting.

Instead of doing daily, consistent actions, they wait on something to happen instead of making it happen.

It's a vicsious cycle.

The work has to be done daily and it's not sexy, but it's those little unsexy actions done over time consistently that make the world go around and push things forward in life.

I don't wait to get fat before I have to go to the gym.

I go now because I know it'll take me longer to battle health challenges if my body is out of shape.

I don't eat like a 20-year old.

I eat things that fuel my body.

Same goes for everything we do, but things aren't going to change if you're not taking massive action and simply waiting for things to fall in your lap.

It's not how the universe works.

Get to work.

And you'll see the fruits of your labor manifest.

Research has cited the average person spends 4 hours a day minimum scrolling on their phone on social media.

That doesn't include checking emails, playing games, etc........

That's just social media.

I'm sure I spend more than that on there before noon, but there's intention behind it.

I'm looking for something with intention.

Someone I can offer a product or service to.

A solution that no one has thought of.

A little humor to sprinkle into someone's day.

But, most people don't think about social media like that.

If you're tired of scrolling aimlessly without getting that dopamine hit or validation.........

I'm going to to give you the game here......

It's known that an average life exists in the comfort zone.

And it is known that when you live in discomfort, your body will do everything it can to avoid this space.

The truth is, discomfort is where the growth aoccurs for most human beings.

Think about the last tie you lost love.

Lost money.

Lost friends.

Think about your childhood.

Was it good, or was it uncomfortable.

I've lived many lives of discomfort.

At 18, I got my first apartment.

Ten months later, the cops kicked open the door and took me to jail.

Jail was uncomfortable.

I had no furniture in my apartment and really had none when I got locked up.

When I was married 3 times before and got divorced, I felt the discomfort.

In each and every one of those situations, I used the discomfort of discomfort to make new way.

I worked harder.

Worked longer than everyone else.

And guess what?

I won.

Last weekend, my 2nd oldest and I mowed 10 acres.

Sure, I can afford to hire soemone, but Im teaching my kids about life and how it woks by staying in the discomfort zone.

It's the only way growth happens.

I still got to the gym and work my body daily.

I still do yardwork.

I do chores around the house.

I work later and longer at work.

Why?

In my experience, discomfort keeps me sharp and continuously evolving.

Figure out what you want.

It's waiting for you in the discomfort zone.

This is a lesson I taught back in 2012.

What I've learned is if you want to have great friends, you have to be a good friend.

You have to make it all about the good friends.

I've watched Ed Mylett and he skillfully makes every conversation about the people even if they're complimenting him.

He gets it.

If you want people to like you, make it about them.

Make sure you like people's posts.

If I'm going to have a big social circle, I have to be engaged with a lot of people.

I have a lot of people jockeying for their attention.

But I still vie for their attention because I still want to be their friend.

I'm not talking about paying their bills.

They're the ones asking how the kids and wife are doing.

They're the ones checking in to see how things are going.

That's what makes a good friend.

Be a great friend if you want to have good friends both online and off!
