cool I don't know what it is it's like a giant beach towel or something and I so I got to change things you know when I look at a I blocked it to many many people's offices many times over and a person's office tells you the content of their character it they it really is it's a revelation so when you walk into an office you can see their entire soul laid out in front of you and they don't realize it because it's truly a reflection of their of their inner workings their inner mind their soul their spirit and mine always gets messy because I don't prioritize cleaning obviously I mean you can see that but there are some things that I mean the Warriors is the spirit of never give up when I say God bless and go get them it means means you do not let anything hold you back ever for any reason any weight any shape any form you persevere and you move on you keep going and you never stop the struggle that's what the Warriors mean to me but then you know we have other things of value so I'd love to see some of your guys' offices see what those look like um and your office is probably your truck if you're a working man your truck becomes every bit as much of your office as your actual office becomes your office and mine's also pretty old school I have my notes that are important on the walls and I have things that I want to remind myself every single day the values that I want to reinforce and that's one of the things goals one of the things I learned so long ago when I was just a young pup I mean starting out 19 years old I did I read this book about goals and the right way to do goals and there is a right way and a wrong way because I learned the hard way the right way and I learned the hard way the wrong way and at 19 I wrote down I want to make $100,000 a year and I wrote all these separate goals I wanted this sports car I wanted that I wanted this and in one year I hit every single goal I checked every goal off and it was just like whoa I felt indestructible I felt like I was on top of the world and that nothing could take me down and I did not write my goals the next year and I did the floppy crappy without a clear sense of direction and reinforcement on a daily basis I got misguided on my journey and by by the next year I realized how far I had fallen and I wrote more goals down the following year and I've never stopped writing down my goals and from that point I don't always hit my goals sometimes what I have learned about goals is you've got to have a timeline and they've got to be not quite realistic but within grasp they've got to give you hope you've got to look at that goal and go yes I can accomplish this I believe I can do this and the right goal will hit you in the stomach you will feel the goal and it's almost like it becomes a part of you right and setting these goals then when you it's not there yet but once you set that goal and it becomes a physical part of your your being it's just a matter of time before it comes to fruition but the but the real thing you've got to do is you've got to feel it you got to sense it you got to believe it it's got to just hit you that's the thing you guys if you want to succeed I promise you I make you this promise I don't know you maybe we've never met but I can tell you that if if you write these goals down and you feel them you will be able to accomplish anything on God's Earth that you put your mind too especially think of it this way if somebody else has done that thing at some point they are not better than you they have two eyes one mouth two arms one heart they are built just like you the difference may be in how they think how they react how they respond but you my friend are not rigid you're not cast in clay you're not built in stone you are not this structure that is not immovable you are flexible you can bend you can shape yourself you can become anything but here's the thing I really want to warn you against doing always focus on building upon your strengths do not focus on building up your weaknesses and this looks all contradictive no I want to become a well-balanced person negative negative negatory I want you to become a force of nature to be reckoned with meaning I want you to be the absolute best at whatever it is that drives you that turns you on that makes you go that makes you get up in the morning that makes you you because if you focus on just on building up your weaknesses the things you're not really good at you're putting your attention in the wrong spot for one and you will never become amazing at the things you're and don't really feel and don't really want to do you become mediocre you become like the herd the herd mentality break out of that freaking herd and become the Beast the leader and I don't care what that is it doesn't make a difference if it's one thing or another thing just optimize who you are find what you're good at and double triple quadruple down on it and become absolutely amazing at it whatever that may be that's when you activate and achieve your dreams and your goals and your your dreams your goals are not going to be the same as somebody else's and what's going to happen is as you build your Empire as you become everything that you were meant to become people will detract from you because you're leaving them behind now they may be your cheerleaders in the beginning but they may turn as you leave them behind as you start to accomplish these things because you've tapped into something that they haven't and jealousy is an ugly thing and so make sure you understand that the people that were your greatest cheerleaders in the beginning may not continue to be but that just means you're on the right path see when you step over somebody and step up to the next level and and leave them behind they're going to cling they're going to grab they're going to try to pull you back down to their level they don't want to be left behind people don't like being left behind it is what it is but you my friend have a destiny you my friend need to continue onward and upward and make the best out of what you can do but now I've got to hang this bad boy up somewhere so let's rearrange the office and get to it all right let's go down in the gym we got to hang some art and then I want to show you my absolute favorite move of all time that works every single body part at the same time so here's a quick gym T my house gets so messy it feels like soon as I clean one room I got to go to another room okay so I have a sun bed that I bought for 100 bucks off Craigslist don't judge me and so when I go on these trips I'm in Minnesota we get sun three times a year in the winter time and in July in January I got to go to World of Concrete and then all of a sudden I'm in the Las Vegas Sun and I fry like that so I hop in that thing once or twice before I go and I'm okay I've got my situp bench that I got free when the floods came through um this thing is actually pretty cool so the floods came through and somebody threw that bad boy away not sure why they would do that cuz there was nothing wrong with that thing I got my inversion table cuzz my back hurts like crazy and that thing doesn't really do Jack didly squat for some people I guess it works for me not so much this thing is a cheat way to do abs here's another extra workout bench that's something for my kids all right so here's the real gym here's where we get into the gym gym and I got some more artwork I got to hang up but let's go through what I've got set up of all the gym equipment I have this is by far my favorite and I'm going to show you why in a moment punching bag I got a stack of plates treadmill I hate that freaking thing but you got to use it you got to use it here's a leg extension bench pullup bar dip bench pretty cool here's a leg extension bench that's actually not a leg extension that's a whatever for abs I've got my motivation on the wall uh I've got my primary motivation right there God before anything then we got Ronnie Coleman we got Arnold Schwarzenegger classic Arnold Schwarzenegger classic J color I think his name is then we've got my squat rack bench rack pullup rack this machine is pretty awesome if you guys don't have a machine like this and if you can get one I bought it off of uh Craigslist for like 3 400 bucks I would buy these all day and night get yourself one of these cuz when your arms and your joints hurt this takes the slam out it's huge and then we've got my wall of weights and my wall of art I love this wall of art this has been my lifelong collection so I want to share it with you guys we got to hang some more and I promise you I'm going to show you my absolute favorite move of all all all time but we've got Goku we've got Deadpool and Wolverine just take that in for a moment I buy these at comiccons and then I go to Etsy and pick these up I bought this one at Comic Con that's freaking amazing I don't know about you guys but I love that we got some Spider-Man Batman wolvie Propet who knows this guy any of you guys probably not I had to actually print that off from myself from a cover of a comic book cuz you couldn't you can't find that art Deadpool Spidey Vegeta you guys should know that's not Goku that's Vegeta if you know are you know Vegeta of course we got Snake Eyes we've got God of War we've got Goku in the gym spar on we've got an angel which kind of doesn't fit but I needed to balance out the the light and the dark Batman my boy likes that one which is cool I've got to hang that we've got to hang the Spartan and then we've got Broly over here let we got some old of my photos and in the backdrop we've got God of War overlooking everything back there um then here's where it gets interesting my buddy Sean makes this art so he drew when he was like 16 17 18 20 and that so that's cool this is all his artwork he makes hyper realistic art it's unreal how well his art this is all Shan McCarthy Irish I Studios he does tattoos now that look just like that that's pin dot so that Arnold right there he did with the tip of a pin and he just went ding ding ding ding ding ding dink I could never do that you got to have the patience of a saint but we've got to hang some art got to find some room and I'm going to show you that cool move I promise you now I made you a promise that I was going to show you of all the machines and equipment I have in here one move that works every single part of your body at the same time and this is a move that no matter what I do I try to incorporate in as often as I can to my normal workout routine move all right yeah that's how you start and this is what you do that works a a sweat really fast because to do this means every single muscle in your body is tight it's working together so you're not eating the floor it's not just a chest workout it's an ab workout it's a leg workout it's a you name a body part workout and it gets it all right we got to hang some art we got to find some well yeah that does look cool up there not quite right though not quite right oh well we can tweak some of that stuff later anyway hope you guys enjoyed today's video I've been trying to incorporate a lot more of the lessons that I learned in life as I was a young contractor and learned everything the hard way made the mistakes I try to bring you guys into that ride into that Journey because I know personally that I have grown more from making mistakes than from my triumphs and success and it happens to each and every single one of us and so I figure if when you can share in a mistake you know we're one of the few species of animals that actually can learn observe and learn from somebody else's errors and Not Duplicate them well in theory I mean how true is that actually I mean how many times have you seen someone make a mistake and then you went ahead and made the exact same mistake seems like we should learn but you know what a rising tide raises All Ships so when we work together we all get better that's what I try to uh bring to this Channel and I hope it comes through in the videos that I make I try to make them entertaining educational I also try I put myself back into the day when I was young and didn't have any money and every decision purchase decision I made was the the decision between do I get to eat or do I get to buy this truck do I get to eat or do I buy the skid loader and when I buy the skid loader if I buy it right it'll help me to eat but if I buy it wrong I'm not eating I'm getting a part-time job to support my business and so a lot of the equipment reviews and things I do like that are also aimed with that mind frame in mind because the companies that I work with I I work with a a number of different companies um they they do do do not get a chance to control me in any way shape or form they don't get to control my opinion my voice what I say I walk away and I I have these some of these companies that want to work with me but then they give me a script and I'm like nope and I've had companies that I'm I'm currently right now fighting uh with because they wanted to control and manipulate the words that I said about their product and if it's not true and genuine and in my own voice in my own opinion I don't do it in any way shape or form because I'm not going to do it to the Past me that was struggling that may be where you're at right right now and I'm not going to do it to you or any of you guys no matter where you are in your journey because it's not fair it's not right and so I've lost a lot of business because of that a lot I mean a lot and that's okay because it's the right thing to do and I hope whatever you're doing turns out to be the right thing for you as well God bless go get him you guys we will see you on another way it's time to pump you up yeah listen to me now hear me later and think about it another time you must get physically fit and then you'll get mentally fit yeah see you in the next one
