I received this email from somebody who

was stuck in a rut for 15 years and they

were finally inspired to make a change

based on something that I said I'm going

to talk about what I said in this video

and I'm going to give you a simple three

step solution to make sure you can also

do with successful people generally

always do let's get started hey everyone

I'm meet Kevin I'm a real estate broker

used to be a licensed A lender a

licensed contractor and now I'm a

financial advisor I run an actively

managed ETF I have a real estate startup

I got a plane we fly around and we do

work and there have been a lot of

lessons that I've learned in my career

starting out with no money and working

at Hollister and then Jamba Juice and

getting a 10 cent raise to deciding you

know what I'm gonna go become an

entrepreneur become a real estate agent

there are lessons that I learned

throughout everything and this email

really throws me back to some of those

lessons I'm going to share those with

you listen to this email first

quote Kevin

I have been an avid follower for some

time and something struck me a few

months back you mentioned making

yourself

more valuable to your employer

I can't remember exactly how you phrased

it but the concept stuck with me so with

that in mind I decided to teach myself

how to become a licensed

optician in the state of California I

probably butchered that word by the way

I had to look it up okay I'd look it up

and try to figure it out what it was but

anyway we'll talk about that in a moment

on my own time while still focusing on

my current career apparently it's

somebody who works with eyeglasses and

works for like an optometrist anywho

well fast forward five months later five

months just five months later I managed

to pass both tests and my current

employer gave me a substantial race and

created more job security in this

specialized field

so for that push I'd like to thank you

without your inspiring videos I'd be

stuck in the same rut I've been in for

15 plus years

first of all congratulations to this

person well what lessons can we take

away from this

first and this isn't part of the three

steps but the first is value we're

always trying to figure out how to

provide more there's an important lesson

a lot of people go through life and

point the finger and say man I can't do

something because of them I can't do

something because of that or somebody

hurt me and they're always pointing the

finger but the fact is every time you

point the finger three fingers point

right back at you in fact life in

certainly a capitalistic economy is the

more you give the more you tend to get

for example on YouTube I try to provide

value for free every single day and

people who like the value I provide

often sign up for my programs on

building your wealth link down below

sometimes people they want to get an

edge in investing in real estate so they

learn everything I know so they can add

that to their repertoire it's like

adding a tool to your belt they want to

be a better real estate agent they want

to be able to invest in stocks or at

least analyze stocks the way I do

because even if they learned one thing

that got them into a stock that they

didn't think could make them a lot of

money maybe then they could pay for

themselves or their own education by

investing in themselves and learning

something from somebody else which by

the way we're working on emails because

we've got coupons expiring tonight for

those programs on building your wealth

link down below still going through some

of those emails so I'm going to keep

that live for a little bit longer until

we get caught up with the emails if you

want to email us send us an email at

staff and meet kevin.com but we'll make

be making that pricing change very soon

but so the rule of thumb here is always

how can you make yourself more valuable

and that is a question all of us should

ask ourselves

sometimes it's not very clear though how

to figure out how to become more

valuable and this is where I'd like to

introduce the three things that

successful people always seem to do

the first is starting with what I like

to call the Tesla Factory line shutdown

you know how sometimes especially if

you're a Tesla investor Tesla's like hey

uh we're shutting down the factory for a

few weeks because we gotta redo the line

and then everybody's freaking out like

oh my gosh the company is going to stop

making cars it's going to be bad for

sales right

but it usually isn't bad for sales it's

actually usually fantastic for the

company because they make an existing

process more efficient they put in more

efficient Hardware or they improve and

train people in better processes

and this is the same thing that's

important to do as an individual whether

you're an employee or you're stuck in a

rut you're an entrepreneur you're

frustrated you feel like you're going to

the Grind every day and you're just not

getting ahead it's really important to

try to incorporate in your life

Factory shutdown and so that's what I

like to do

Step One is shut the factory down shut

yourself down and just clear your

schedule it could be a Friday Saturday

Monday it could be a Friday and Saturday

it could be uh Friday to Friday give

yourself at least two to seven days and

just clear the schedule take a break

from your ordinary routines and then

combine it with number two write down

various goals that you might have maybe

finally you want to try to start

becoming a real estate agent or you know

what you decide you want to become a

registered investment advisor I'm a

registered investment advisor I actually

decided to become a registered

investment advisor in one of these

Factory line shutdowns I decided to take

a two-week break and in that time I

decided you know what I'm going to

become a registered investment advisor

myself and so within 20 minutes I was

able to go to Kaplan or one of the other

websites download all the study material

Thrill of the practice quizzes and I was

on my way within 20 minutes

for studying to be a registered

investment advisor you can do that as

well and then of course I studied for

the rest of the two weeks and started

and took the action steps like

scheduling the test and even if you're

not going to be 100 ready for the test

take the test if you fail retake it in

30 days but the point is step one take a

break step two make a list of things you

think you want to accomplish maybe you

want to accomplish a licensing test

that's going to make you more valuable

to yourself or to your employer maybe

you want to take some kind of moment to

just

destroy everything in your office or in

your bedroom or in your closet throw it

all in a pile and set it up all brand

new and then when you set it up all

brand new

now it's put together even better

it's kind of like if you disassemble the

factory and you rebuild it you're always

going to rebuild it better and in a way

that is more efficient

I did this once before with accounting

for example just to give you another

example I found I was working with uh

well I was more of a bookkeeper but I

was working with a bookkeeper who just

as much as I tried to motivate them and

work with them and train them and and

have my license CPA train them

things just weren't working out so

unfortunately we helped them move on and

I decided I'm going to recreate the

books for all of my businesses

and I took I gave myself a two day break

a Friday and a Saturday

and I only got about 80 done by the end

of those two days

but I got the books on 16 hour days 80

done in two days so all of a sudden I

took a break

I set a goal to recreate the books and

even though I didn't achieve the goal I

had so much done within a very short

period of time because I boxed myself

into I'm gonna get done what I can in

this break and my goal is to make a take

a break

Factory line shutdown creates some kind

of upgrade we're gonna make a plan okay

we're gonna do the books we're gonna

find a licensing test to take we're

gonna find a way to provide more value

we're going to find a way to make

ourselves more productive in our day and

then we are going to implement and

execute actually use that break that

you're taking to get done your

objectives because obviously if you take

a one week workation to sort of fix up

your factory line but then you just

drink my ties every day and you don't

actually get anything done well then you

fail by default and that defeats the

purpose so

going back to what this original email

inspired me to talk about how can you

provide more value how can you get out

of a rut well sometimes the best way to

get out of a rut is just to shut it all

down

and as a result I'm personally going to

take a brief shutdown period for my

morning live streams ordinarily I like

to do Market open live streams at around

you know 420 to 5 20 in the morning and

we'll do those for an hour to two hours

then I go into the course member live

streams

I'm going to keep doing the course

member live streams because that is a

very important commitment that I'm

always providing more value to my course

members but I need to take a short break

from the live streams just to update the

factory lines so to speak so I as well

am now going to take a brief break we're

going to shut down the factory lines for

a bit I'm going to process my list and

start executing on my list to make sure

I can provide more value to all of the

things that I'm doing whether it's this

YouTube channel or my

ETF that I manage or my real estate

startup or the other things that I have

in the works these are all very exciting

but for you I really want you to also be

able to get excited about a break and

again it's not like you're taking a

break to go on vacation and do nothing

it is an active break shut the factory

down and then get to work to make it an

even better Factory so you can provide

more value to either your boss or the

those around you and don't let that you

owe me attitude take over the yomi

attitude as we like to say is that

attitude where you say well you know

I'll work harder when I get paid more

no that's backwards work harder first

provide more Value First and you'll find

that the more you give the more you end

up getting so if you're stuck in a rut

consider doing what successful people do

shut the factory line down make a plan

and execute on that plan and even if you

only get half of the things done you're

trying to execute at least you got more

done than you would have had you not

shut the factory down for an improvement

period and then you can always look

forward to the next shutdown so that way

you're constantly thinking what's next

and how am I going to elevate to the

next level

thanks for watching if you found this

helpful consider sharing this with

somebody that would be super receptive

or needs to hear this information so

consider hey who could use this who

needs a factory shutdown in their life

and send it over to them thanks so much

for watching we'll see in the next one

we'll see you again soonish once we

finish the shutdown for the live streams

thanks so much check out those coupons

linked down below as well goodbye now I

want you to know this when it comes to

AI

time is what's going to make you money

and if you can prove that value to an

employer you'll always be able to be

employed so this is another way of

making sure that you don't get replaced

but
