Creating Opportunites and Synchronicity

Jim, it's so funny, you know, when we think about where we are right now, recording, and I'm just reflecting back on the week that we had. Like, so, so just kind of put it to context for people. Last week, we didn't record. And the reason why, because I was actually Madrid, and I was flying there. And I was actually going by myself. I was, I had to talk to that I had to go do. And I just gave myself a little bit of an opportunity really to spend a day because I've never been in Madrid. I wanted to kind of go and explore.

Yeah. Yeah. Yep.

And some find some time for myself and just reflect and walk around the city and just explore. I like I like doing that Right, I like it's been three years since I've done that. So I Wanted to kind of go and do that, but that's like, you know, I've kind of teased at you Jim I'm like, come on man. You're in Barcelona. You're not that far. Come on in Like this let's I tease that you to come and never respond and that on the day before the day before I left I was literally just about to send you message. I'm like, come on get on that flight Take a train whatever meet me in Madrid and

Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Well, this is the funny part, is because they, I don't know whether you will that I think you did Lawrence, I think I'm putting it down to you. You have the power to just create trajectories and tilt the the universe and tilt the globe and everything like that. So long story short, I was waiting, I had to actually come to Madrid because I had to get a piece of our visa approved or organized in Madrid. And when you'd said you're coming to Madrid,

What happened, Jim? I have the power, definitely. I definitely have the power to change my universe. Yeah, yeah.

to come but then the other part of me went look I'm probably going to be going there anyway so look I can't commit to you right now but I'll wait and see but I had this sneaking suspicion that it's actually going to line up to the same the same sort of time and the day before I you you were flying across I I was in my office it was about 10 o'clock at night I was just getting things organized I finished you off a few things for emails and Bettina came into my office and said And I went, what do you mean? She goes, look, here's the opportunity. There's an opening at the embassy tomorrow at like, oh, sorry, the day after I should say, this amount of time, 11 o'clock in the morning, it's the only one in three weeks. Can you go? And I quite literally had 30 seconds or 40 seconds to think about, I went, okay, I'll do it. I rearranged a few things and I was off to Madrid. And I am adamant that you created that Lawrence, so that you put it out there, you put it out there and said, I want to meet up in Madrid and it happened. So I organised and I got a train on the next morning and I was on to basically Madrid. Yeah, just flexing your Portuguese a little bit too there. It was good. It was good. It was good. It was good. It was good. It was good. It was good. It was good. It was good. It was good. It was good. It was good. It was good. It was good. It was good. It was good. It was good. It was good. It was good. It was good. It was good. It was good. It was good. It was good.

Well, it's anata, man. You're welcome. It was great time. It was great. Hey, there you go. There you go. That's only like two or three words I actually know. Yeah, so it's great to see you. It's great. Great to hang out. I love that we were able to hang out and had dinner. Thanks for indulging in my Japanese, you know, fetish for food and indulging in some good quality wagyu and Kobe beef. It was awesome. Hope that you enjoyed it too.

Hmm. It was great. It was great.

But what the funny thing is that, you know, in today's podcast, we're going to talk a lot about, you know, creating opportunities and synchronicity. And here's another one, right? So on the train ride from Barcelona to Madrid, you had an opportunity. And that opportunity was.

Yeah, I did. I did. Yeah, well, what was it? It's actually, if I'm just going to back up a little bit and say, actually, no, I'll spoil it. So I'll tell you this bit, then I'll go back. So while I'm on the train, I had an invitation. I had a message from someone we both know who is involved in conferences with the car branching profession, actually, in London. They said, hey, we had a last minute cancellation. Someone just can't be at a speaking event in London, is there any chance, any chance that you could, sorry this was Thursday, any chance you could fly to London and speak? Now you've spoken at this event in the past, Lawrence, and you know how awesome our event it is, and here I was on the train going, I can't believe this. This is, I'm on here, I'm on the train, I've got a split,

Yep, so, show of times.

second opportunity to make, do I go? Is it too difficult? And it wasn't that it was so easy that it was just a logical step. It was like, I don't even have enough to even consider that as a possibility. And I made the decision to go.

Yeah. Yeah, I think that so we can dive deeper into exactly what happened. But I mean, reality is that I think this is why we want to talk about this, because opportunities come up every once in a while in everybody's life, you know, whether it be an opportunity for an investment, whether it be a opportunity to take a job, whether it be an opportunity to meet someone or an opportunity to, I don't know, take advantage of something like an offer that was given to you. And we are given opportunities over and over again every single day of our lives. And we get to choose.

Hmm.

And oftentimes, like, sometimes some people are trained to say yes to everything. Some people are trained to say no to everything. And some people are trained to kind of, you know, 50-50. And these are really important things to kind of talk about because as an entrepreneur, there are, there's a cost to taking opportunities. And there's also a cost for not taking opportunities. And this is what we want to kind of really discuss. And that's why we're setting up with this. So, you know, what was some of the things that you were going through your head around this opportunity?

Yeah. Yeah.

What was the first, I love to actually know your first instinct, like would your first instinct was going, hell yes, I'm gonna figure this out? Or was it more like, man, that's just gonna be like logistically, gonna be a nightmare. Let me think about this. Like, so where do you go for you?

Yeah, it's actually, it's a brilliant question actually, because I've worked out that I've got to stay in, I, I, in Wanda. So I stayed in like, wow, this is awesome. And I, I have a capacity to go from where I am to endpoint in an instant. The problem that I have is if I've got to think about the steps, that's when it slows down the cogs. And that's when I talk. So to me, I was like, I've got to go. This is going to be a hell yes.

Hmm Yeah, interesting. Yep. Mmm.

a heck no, immediately. And if it's a hell yes, I'm going to work it out. That's pretty much how I, that's the avenue that I do it. And when I've realized that in myself, that when I don't do that and I go straight to logistics, it doesn't work out very well for me.

Yeah. Yeah. That's very interesting, because I'm exactly the same way. And not everybody's like that. My wife is a complete opposite. Okay, so this is why it's good to discuss this. Because, oh, the hell yes, hell no. I'm not sure where you heard it, but I heard that from Derek Sivers. He wrote a brilliant book. I can't remember. I think you can have anything you want or something to that effect. Really great short read, beautiful book. Go get it. Yeah, very beautiful. And he talks about how he makes decisions. And one of the decisions he makes is either as a hell yeah or hell no. And that's a really great way

Yeah. Yep. Yep. Yeah, it's a show parade. It's a beautiful game. Yeah. Yeah.

that I I make that decision that way Jim you seem like you make that decision that's awesome so that's good like for our process now I mean it's not for everybody but I'm just going through our process I can only talk about ourselves so you went from a hell yeah and then you just it's like you I would imagine because I'll tell you how I think about this I would have been yes I'm gonna yes for sure hell yes now I gotta figure out like I just gonna go I'm it's not like I'll figure out I'm not gonna I don't go to like all the things that are bad I also go like how do I move this

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 100%. So to me, it's like, I've got to get the excitement. If it's big enough that I'm inspired by it, then I will move heaven and earth to do it. If I've got to convince myself that it's a good thing to do, then there's not the emotion. That's kind of like a reference for me that I know that I'm on something. Because if I get clarity of thought and an emotional charge in it, I know something like that instinctively, I've learned over time that there's something in this for me.

Make it happen like that's where I go. I go is that how your brain works, too? Yeah.

to pay attention because this is the universe going, hey, pay attention here. I'm giving you a chance and opportunity. Don't ignore it. So that to me is a really big clue and a cue to pay attention.

Yeah. Yeah. interesting. I hope my wife doesn't listen to this, but you know, one of the most, the first thing that usually pops in my mind, like, how do I convince Karen to allow me to do, to whatever I'm just about to do. That's usually the first instinct.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, but it's also like, it's about, so that's the first start. And then the next is a logical start. Okay, how do I sell these ideas? That's a great idea. It's just not me just going off on a tangent. And the ability to be able to communicate the reason and the logic to somebody else is a critical step in entrepreneurship, right? Because you gotta sell your vision to you and then you gotta sell it to your significant people first. move on.

Okay, so that that's really critical, right? Because if you like that's thing you have to learn to I want to repeat what you said, you got to learn to sell the vision to yourself first before you can learn to sell it to anybody else. This is very critical. You kind of I don't want to brush across that because too quickly because it is so important that you sit down being wonder and actually to sell to yourself because if you don't, your communication is never going to really come off perfectly. And here's an example.

Yeah. Yeah. Good. Yeah.

Uh, let's see go a year and a half ago, I would say I was in the decision making of like should we go to Portugal? Should we not and remember bringing this up? I always thought it was just my I'm gonna leave it my wife She can decide I've already made up my mind like I think we should move and she was holding on to that thought not sure we've been talking about it I'm like, you know, I can move like this right? That's what I told myself I brought it out to one of my mastermind group, you know Surrounded by you know friends and and then we I brought this up to a mastermind I'm like I don't know rat with this. And it was brilliant. One of the, she's a psychologist and by trade. And she, she asked me a question. He goes, are you sold on it? And I'm like, and my first instinct was like, of course, right? But then I'm like, I held back and I'm like, really thought that through. I'm like, and she asked me again, she goes, are you sure that's what you want to do? Like, are you convinced? And she said, it goes, at the end of the day, because your wife, your family,

Hmm. Yeah.

If you believe this is the best move for your family, they're going to follow you. They're going to believe in you. They're going to trust in you because you've never guided them wrong. So until you are very clear, this is never going to happen. And I went, oh, I started bawling. I started crying. I was like, oh, crap. You know, like that was like that was so true. It hit me really hard, swear to the heart and like, you know what? Yeah, it was easier for me to redirect the decision.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yep. Yeah.

And be like, oh, I'm not responsible for this. You know, it's Karen's responsibility and not taking ownership that I had to think that through. And I really reflect. I didn't change anything. I didn't read. I didn't restate anything. All I did was spent the next week just really going through my mind. Like, is this the right move? And then I started believing, oh, no, this is it. I didn't say anything else. And then sure enough, I would say about a week or two weeks later, Karen just says, we're going.

Yeah. Yep. Yeah.

I was like, okay, selling your vision to yourself first, and then how you act and everybody else will kind of follow us. I think it's such an important thing, so I wanted to kind of make sure we don't brush across that too quickly.

Yeah, that's a really good distinction to make actually. So just to break it down even further. So how I did that, like, because in sales, what they say is people buy emotionally and justify logically, right? So to me, what I did, I became fully associated with the decision. So effectively I went from opportunity to, wow, this is great, this is a great opportunity to speak. I didn't worry about the fear of it at that point. What I did straight away is I went

Yep.

And I visualized myself on stage, talking, dressed up in a suit, not having to worry at that time, but I didn't have a suit, right? But I just, I went to end point straight away and visualized that and visualized delivering from a powerful message and a powerful presentation. And that excited me. That gave me enough references to go, this is on point. This is purposeful. This is kind of what you're doing. This is why you want to do it. So I had to get emotionally connected. to do that. From then on, I did what's called in the military and in project management, they call it a pert chart, where you go right to the end, you have end point organised, then you start working backwards. So for me, it was like, if everything's aligned at the end, and I'll go congruent with it, now, what do I need to get done in a day, in half a day, in three hours, in the next 20 minutes, to make it happen? And that's pretty much what I did.

Hmm. Yeah, that's awesome. Yeah. And I think that that's the thing. Like oftentimes people forget, um, that, you know, not everybody's like this, right? So that's why I want to be very clear. And I really like, because you know, I obviously very similar, we make decisions this way, but it's not like we don't, we don't make those decisions as if we don't have any consequences, right? We, we, we go, this is where we want to be. And we try to work through the logistics. And sometimes let's not, let's face it. Like sometimes the opportunity is, yes, this will be the great opportunity we can make, but sometimes it just doesn't work out. Maybe the timing

Yeah. Yeah. Yep, yep.

work out, the logistics wouldn't work out. Certain things just may not have happened even though you can see yourself in the future. But it's like letting your future dictate first and then seeing if the pieces kind of fit in to make it work, right? I think that's important. So what do you say, though, to say someone who's the un-exact opposite? Because there are people out there. I think my

Yeah. Yep. Yeah.

the things of why it can't be done.

Yeah.

They're not that that's bad, right? It's just, you know, they just have a different perspective and how they make choices. What would you say to that? And how would you navigate it?

That's a great question because what I realized about myself is because I, and don't get me wrong, there are areas in my life where that doesn't always happen, right? And so I'm not as clear-cut. I go in and we're buying stuff for the home and I'm indecisive because I can't, I don't know, because I'm in overwhelm. It's a different scenario. But for me, if I'm super clear, there's that certainty you were talking about that your psychologist was talking about. I'm super clear. There is no deviation of what I'm saying. for me is like that's the path. That's, I guess, something that happens for me. The other thing is that I learnt that, and Edward De Bono explained this really well with these six hats, where he basically outlined and says, in decision making, at any one time, you need to have different hats, and different hats represent the visionary, the critic, the person who thinks about the logistics, all that kind of thing, but it's important, that you don't bring in someone too quick who has the, the hate what could go wrong thing, because you haven't had the right chance to let the idea run. And so what I realized, I used to get really frustrated with people who I'd try and share a vision and they go, yeah, but how about ever? And I'm like, and then I'd lose steam and I'd get this heart and then I'd go, I don't know about it. Until I realized that I need those people, they're super valuable because they see the blind spots, they see the things that

Yeah.

who are visionary don't see. But what I learned is that I've got to bring them in at the right time, not too early in the cycle, that you're actually going to take that, not so much a dream away. I don't want to call it a dream stealing process, but for people who just get excited by enthusiasm of vision, you have to let it run out all the way. And the moment you have, then you can go back and start making logic or critique it, challenge the assumptions, whatever. But if you run, go

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

the full gamut of what's possible.

Yeah, you're absolutely right. I think that, you know, the one main thing is having awareness of your natural tendency to make decisions and recognizing whether it's a strength or weakness or whether or not it has. What are the consequences of that particular hat that you do wear? So for example, like just Jim and I shared like our way of processing, but there is a consequences to it. The consequences that we say yes to too many things sometimes. Or we sacrifice

Yeah. Yeah. I'm sick.

things like maybe family or sacrifice, you know, things that are also important to us or, you know, that is part of our role to in order to chase these things, right? So and we're blindspotted by the opportunity versus about the thing that we may be supposed to be need to be doing. So like, I know I get caught up in that a lot. So or don't see the knock on effects sometimes because we're so tunnel focused to get that opportunity. So I think that's, you know, that would be weakness. But having that awareness about yourself.

Yeah. Yeah.

is to kind of go, okay, I want this, but then put that in at some point through the decision process to check in and go, like, can I make this happen? You know, and I think that's important. These are the small decisions and also bigger decisions, right? That's not just in big decision we talk about. Whereas versus someone who always says, yeah, but type of mentality, you got to have the awareness that, okay, your awareness that that's what you typically do. Okay, that's good. It has its pros, but you also need to know the consequences.

Yep.

because the consequences of those types of people is that you will tend to knock, you never actually allow yourself to dream about the opportunity because you've already put roadblocks before you even got started. And so it becomes almost a quick no. And you don't really know whether or not that could have been a great thing. And that could be choosing a partner. It's like, oh yeah, you know, this person is great. Oh yeah, but he's too short. He's too tall. He's too fat to whatever, like, you know, in that type of like mentality, rather than

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

going through that process and going like, well, what if, like, what are some of the qualities and then put those filters in later? So I think being aware of how you make decisions, being aware and how you take or reject opportunities is such an important process because it allows you to know when I have I have in the past, when I have made those opportunities and decisions or take up those opportunities and what has stopped me in the past and course correct them and maybe retweak the path rather than just thinking that opportunities don't come to you.

Yeah, and I think you highlighted it really well, where you basically said identifying your strengths because when you're inspired by something, you're a very good starter, exceptionally good starter, and you'll use momentum and get started, and you quite often have a higher tolerance of risk, I should say, where you can go, yeah, I'm going in, I have enough certainty myself to go. You get to about 80%, and you're traditionally not as great a closer. You're not great, and just once that's there, it's like, oh, this is boring now,

Yep.

So you need someone along the journey who will actually close it out and finish it and bring it to fruition and Have steps along the way that ensure systems otherwise because when you talk about the cost of it It's all well and good to get excited and why this is awesome and great But if you love that scenario is where things have expanded so rapidly and quickly I didn't have a system in place that was efficient enough So things basically Exploded really quickly But then actually led to disappointment because you just

That's right. That's right.

couldn't maintain the service level, you couldn't maintain the product offer etc etc because you built beyond your current frame and capacity. Yeah.

Well, entrepreneurs are very typical for that. Like most entrepreneurs I have ever met when you ask them, where if you're, you know, this is using the Kobe index, KOLBE. I think it's Kobe index B from memory. But, you know, most people are a quick start. Like most entrepreneurs I meet are always called quick starts. And they are, you know, that's what we do. Like this podcast, I was just thinking about this podcast is no different, right? We're quick start. We started this podcast, we've been recording by the time you, you know, by time you viewers and listeners actually, you know,

Yep, yep. Yep. Yep.

watch this or listen to this, it's been months since this has been recorded because we got started and now we're going through the logistics and the systems to make it and edit it and actually produce it and put it out there. That took time because we weren't necessary, we didn't work all that out. What do you want to say?

We didn't have a name, we didn't have a name, we didn't have nothing. It was like for me, especially it was like, that's okay, we'll work it out as we're going along, but I need momentum, I need movement because that stimulates my brain to, you know, okay, I'll work it out as I'm going along. If I have stagnation, I just find that doesn't work for me. So. So.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so what about, what do you think about luck? You know, I love to talk about opportunities. Do we create it? Is it luck by chance for certain people or do we create our own luck? Or is it because we're mentally prepared to love that Chinese thing? So I love for your thoughts on that. Sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

you Yeah, me too, me too. I love and I think I think there's luck is when opportunity meant preparation So that that is always the case see here's how I see this right you could be spending your whole life preparing and An opportunity presents it and I can't discount the role of luck. I feel you create your own opportunities But there is an element of that that an intangible that comes into play, right? So the key is though

Mm-hmm.

being in the right place and the right time and knowing it and taking action. Because you can have all the luck in the world, but if you don't execute, if you don't step into that unknown, that fear, you can have all the luck in the world that's going to come and go. So to me it's like, you know, they usually say knowledge is power, but it's actually been redefined, it's a potential power. Because unless you act on that, unless you act on that luck, to me it's basically something that can come and go. How do you see it?

Mm-hmm. Thank you. Thank you. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, I saw this little quick YouTube short yesterday and I showed it to my kids and it was a photograph. I'm sure we've all kind of seen it. Photograph of Lee Harvey Arzold when he got assassinated, when he got killed, right? When he was, and it was a photograph of him getting shot, like the person getting shot and the reaction, the emotion of the cop that the policeman that was holding him and the gunman

Yeah. Yeah.

Uh, could be getting wrong. Lee Harvey Oswald was the one who got killed, right? I could be wrong. Yeah, okay Sorry my history American Yeah, okay. Okay. That's right, right? So Lee Harvey got get shot and this is a picture is we all seen it right that black and white photo him getting shot in the Policeman right what I didn't know and what the the short was was really interesting was that there was another photographer Who took the same shot, but he took the shot one sixteenth of a second prior to that moment which was a moment of

Yeah, he did because he chip shot JFK and then a few days later. Yeah. Yep. That's right.

where the gunman was just about to approach Lee Harvey Oswald, but it was the moment that had no reaction from anybody because it was just half a split second sooner before he was shot, but the picture did show gunman showed him Lee Harvey Oswald, but everybody, the background of Lee Harvey Oswald was just normal. The gun hasn't gone off yet. And two pictures, the same moment,

Hmm.

The one that we all know, one Pulitzer surprise, Pulitzer a prize for the photographer and became a famous artist, the other one went into obscurity. So we're talking same, same moment, same shot, just slightly different. And to me, it's like, you know, first of all, we just talked about taking the opportunity. You might have a camera, a bunch of people would have a camera, but did you take the shot? Right? Did you take that shot?

Thank you. Hmm Hmm.

And that moment, we have like the camera will be in preparation. We all have a camera to give them up, but did you press the button? Did you actually take that opportunity that you know, that in that moment of time, did you take that opportunity? Luck I find every, if you ask every entrepreneur, what has made you successful? Most people often say luck came, was a part of their role.

Hmm.

I kind of somewhat agree to that, but I also feel that when you go through the moments of preparation and mastery and getting better at your craft, you tend to create the luck.

Yep, totally agree. Yes.

That's about to happen. Like you put yourself in situations that allow you to have that luck come to you. Right.

Yeah, I can see that. I can see that.

Yeah, it's like so for if there's any speaking opportunities, for example, or there is, let's just say you're speaking opportunity. Like it's not just like, like, you know, the person called you out of the blue, right? Like you've been having multiple conversations on another topic on a couple of other things throughout the months that led to that moment. I'm saying, I'm not saying that that was the influence or, but because there was like that relationship that was built there over time and also recognizing that, you know, in,

Yeah.

Her psyche to go oh Jim may be available, right? And then that opportunity so like I think it's like a bit of both and it you can't it's not like you can't just all put it To luck it's like put into to the moment, right? And I think it's like, you know, so let's go back to the photographer because I want to make sure clean up that story because to me Yeah, the photographer You know didn't take that opportune shot but Like you can kind of beat yourself up

Hmm. Yeah, no, totally, totally. No, turn it. Yeah.

over that one moment that you were one and a half, one 16th of a second too late, or you can and become a victim of that, or you could have just continued to just keep taking shots, right? And that's the choice that we all have to make. We not gonna get every opportunity we're gonna get. Sometimes we're just slightly missed that opportunity, but doesn't mean that that defined your life. Doesn't mean that there's no other opportunities because you can, and that's comes from, I think it's comes from an attitude,

Hmm. Yep.

of going, am I going to be a victim of bad luck or am I going to go out and create luck? And I think that's why I think it's important that we are constantly striving to create the life that we want versus feeling a victim of like life happens to us. I know I have a choice at any given day to think of those opportunities like either I live a life that I can control or create the luck that I want or opportunities that I want or I can live a life that.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

just happening to me and I have no control. I know which one I rather live and I don't know what's actually true, cause I know I can't really prove it, but I'd rather be on the side of going, I get to choose and the life I'm creating is the one, it's actually creating based on what I do, Ron happening to me. I'm not sure if I'm doing it right, but I'm not sure if I'm doing it right. I'm not sure if I'm doing it right. I'm not sure if I'm doing it right. I'm not sure if I'm doing it right. I'm not sure if I'm doing it right.

Yeah, I like that. I like that. And I circle back to something you said, which really resonated was the role of luck and preparation, because how many times you hear someone saying, I worked 20 years to become an overnought success. And so that shows that you've put skin in the deal. You've been plying your craft you're working on it. And in that scenario, look, you're right. To me, I look at that and go, okay, there's factors outside of me that had an influence. But it was like

Yeah.

showing up, doing what I do, being able to basically talk and communicate at will anyway, having the podcast saying yes to life so that you're putting yourself in the arena, you're putting yourself and giving yourself a chance and when opportunities come you take them. Because in that scenario, when I was on the train, when I had an invitation, when I checked it on my message, I think I sent you a message probably about 10 minutes earlier and said, Less hassle, remember, and less hassle is pretty cool, man. I'll see you in a few hours, and then I get this other message. But I could just as easily have gone, here's the same chance, I'm not gonna take it. It's too hard, because for me to do this, I'm gonna have to go and change my flights. I'm gonna do this, there's costs involved, there's, I haven't got a suit, and I could have talked myself out of that scenario. Very easily, very easily. And I think I could have been justified

Yes. Yep. Mm-hmm.

if I allowed that to happen. It was just that like you said I just decided no actually this is too important to me and I'm actually not going to go oh it's a shame because it would have been really convenient if you'd told me three weeks ago. Well it doesn't always work that way. Yeah yeah.

Yeah, or we're convenient if you told me like last night I could have brought my suit and you know and you know all that That stuff and no instead Jim did the most amazing thing went into a store bought a whole entire outfit suit shirt belts pants You know socks shoes in like 30 minutes. It was incredible to watch. I was like this is a man on a mission, you know and

Accessories, socks, everything. Get. Yeah, well, there's decisive it helped two things that helped with that was number one, because I said to you, how long it's I may need some help with helping out ideas and it was with the shoes. I go, what do you reckon about those shoes? But you know what it was? It was like I had 30 minutes. I literally had 30 minutes because we had dinner and we're like, how's this going to work? And I walked into the store and I said to this guy, I'm about to make you an exceptionally happy person. If you can just help me find a whole outfit and I have 30 minutes. Go.

Yep. Yep. Mm-hmm.

And this guy was an absolutely rock star. He delivered it, he did exceptionally well.

Yeah, that's great. And I think sometimes, you know, we can talk about decision, because since we're talking about creating opportunities, like sometimes when you give yourself too much time to think too much time to, I know I've got trapped in this is like, oh, deciding like the longer you wait, the, the more, like you, the more time you kind of like waiting for things to decide. Whereas if you got a time constraint and it's got to be done and by external time, like you just make the decision, you know, and I get sometimes get stuck on like, oh,

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

this or versus this or should I get this phone? And it's like this overwhelm where like, I'm also been the person who bought two homes without actually seeing them in my life. The last two houses I've purchased, I haven't even seen them. Like literally I've been on the other side of the world buying those homes. And I've done that because the constraint was, okay, well the pictures and the video was good enough. I just trust the people and you know, and it's just like, it's kind of weird. Like I could, you know, for such a high value purpose.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. That would freak the daylights out of a lot of people. A lot.

Right, exactly. And it's like, I thought they'd only one time. I did it freaking twice now. It's kind of an incredible story. We can probably dive into that maybe in another podcast.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I let no I want to know is I think it's quite relevant because it's like so you mentioned before a lot of times you go This is you've got this crazy. Any idea how come I'm gonna convince Karen? How did you do that? Not once but twice? How did you do that?

Hey. I think, listen, so we sold, so the story is that I was actually, actually I was in Barcelona. I was in Barcelona. This is going back about eight, nine years ago. And I was, we were in, actually, it's a funny story tying it all in. I was about to speak at York, that conference, that conference, all right, that conference you spoke at, I was supposed to speaking, it was more like later in the year, so they have two conferences a year.

Synchronicity. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

the later conference. And I decided since I was speaking there, I'm going to take my whole entire family and we're going to go to Europe for a month. And we started in Barcelona, we took a cruise and from Barcelona, you know, and then we did that whole Mediterranean thing and then end up, you know, so we went to Barcelona, Dubai, Amsterdam and London and all that stuff for a whole month. But we sold our house. Like, while we were traveling within the first day, I think we're

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

And we're like, oh crap, like, you know, so this is like, so what do we do? This is when I was in Perth and we're like, do we move to Sydney? Like, do you want to think about this? And then so that's how we all kind of started. And in a lot of houses in Australia, they were sold by auction. And I'm like, I didn't want to go through that auction process. And so we found this house. I got a friend and he looked at it and my wife gave certain stipulations. Like, it's got to have flow. It's got to have this. It's got to have that. And he's like, I don't even know what flow means, but here goes.

Yeah. What?

just like film a 10 minute video, uploaded in the Dropbox and sent it to me. I still have that video, um, my good friend, Taki, and he just like, you know, just that's how we bought the house. We just bought the house like sight unseen and based on a 10 minute video, my friend took of it. Um, I'd actually done another friend went through the house at the same time as well, just to kind of get, you know, double reassurance and yeah. And we just spent the whole trip for a month, basically went from selling her house to end up buying the house on our last stop. Every country.

That's awesome. Yeah. Hmm.

to had something significant, lawyers, all that stuff and let's just dig in. And in hindsight, going back to that, I flew back. And if I was in Australia, I would have flown all the way to Sydney and I would have seen the house. And if I saw the house, I would have seen all these little tiny little flaws. And those tiny little flaws might have been, every house has, and it would have been one of those little, it could have been a breaker to like, oh, what I should buy this and not, you can start questioning yourself.

Yep. which every house does, every house has. Yes. Yep. Yeah.

didn't do that. You kind of have to go with the bigger overview. And that's what happened. And I learned a lot from that. So sometimes we can be nitpicky on opportunities and decisions on like the smallest little details, because you can see it. Or you can look at the over opportunities and go like, are those details actually, does it actually matter? And that's like a lesson to learn when I make decisions sometimes like, don't get caught up in the small details. Because sometimes small details really don't matter. Like, sure, aesthetically,

Thank you. Thank you. Yeah.

blah blah blah, but really does the 90% of it is good enough? Like it's, you know, and it was an opportunity. And that's how we made those decisions. And the same thing happened. We promised I would never do that again. And somehow we did the same thing for Portugal. But that again, it was opportunity and it was the right house, the right time and the right price and all that stuff kind of came in. And people here struggle to find houses because it's Portugal is booming, right? And so it's

Thank you. Bye. Yeah. you did it again uh... yeah Yeah. Yep.

We were very fortunate to kind of so I think Coming back to answering your question. I think it's it's about Understanding what our purpose is Understanding what our values are Like we want we need a home. We don't need a home, but we really want a home We thrive in a home like right now. I'm sorry for anybody's watching like all these podcasts so far It's like I'm sitting in a bed. I get the crappy little Views and whatever it's not ideal Exactly, it's not ideal, but hey it is what it is and hopefully in the next, you know few months that

Yep. Yep. Yep. You're in the air base. Yeah, yeah.

You have a better background and stuff, but you know, we want to make it polish and make it better But we'll do that sooner or later. But the reality is that sometimes like you just got to take that opportunity and And we just jumped on it. I go, what's the worst thing we can do lose and You know money it's it's it is I mean we could do that but I mean at the end of the day, it's like we are so fortunate for certain things and And these opportunities only come out once in a while and you got to know when to action I think the lesson here is

Держи. Thank you.

Taking action is more important than sitting on the sidelines waiting. And if you're a type of personality who constantly wait for things, just watching opportunities go by, opportunities go by over and over again, you need to start questioning like, how is that working for you? Like in your life? Like, is it, is it helping you progress forward to the, the place where you actually want to go? If you constantly missed the train, not sharing, like, I don't know, sure there's the perfect train for me to go. I'm not sure if there's the person trying to go. Like sometimes you just need to get on that train. And just,

Yep. Yep. Yep.

And you're going to learn something because you go through that door and you realize like, this is not where I want to go. Well, at least you found that out. Right? At least you found that out so you can come off, get off that train and find a different direction. And you know, at least you eliminated that direction. I think that's important.

Yep, yep. Yeah. Yeah, I think it's a great distinction you make there about people's reluctance to make decisions sometimes because of the fear that it may not be right. And let's be honest, no one likes making mistakes or no one likes going down the path only to realize that this isn't the path. But it's a case of I did it, I realized it wasn't the right path, I got off as you said the train had gone on the right one. But if you're staying stagnant and not ever taking a shot because you're paralyzed

Thank you. Thank you.

by fear, then you'll never have to take any action. You'll never go out there and be vulnerable and introduce yourself to someone potentially a life partner. You'll never take that opportunity in life to start a business, except there's so many situations where that's it, you've got to act greater than your fear at that time and see that. And you talked about that, I've had the advantage, pretty much every home that we've ever bought, interestingly, investment properties and stuff, I've never looked at them. I've actually bought them sight unseen, because to me it's a mathematical decision. I've had bias agents look at them, not an emotional one, I couldn't care less. But when it's been our own home, I've walked in and literally the moment I've walked into the house before I've even gone there, I always go, this is it. And pretty much everything else is going to be 70% right or 80% right, but that doesn't matter. I get this like a visceral reaction and I really positive on to go, yeah, this is it. And even if it doesn't

not an emotional one.

match exactly what I'm looking for. I just know that I know that I know that that's the place where we need to be right now. Hmm. Yeah.

Yeah, my Karen's very much like that. You know, this podcast is a lot of Karen, she should actually be here. Uh, like she, she won one time in one of our homes, uh, that we, um, that we lived in in Perth. I remember walking in and, uh, and she just is so secretly walked in and I'm like, okay, it's a nice house. And then she grabbed my arm at the end of like, honestly, within five minutes, she goes, she's just whispering. Mike goes, I want this house. And I was like, and it's pretty much like figured out basically. And you're like, like,

Yeah, brother.

I'm in trouble now. Um, and the same thing with this one, this, this, the house that we have in Portugal, um, she basically, you know, saw it and it was the first house we saw. And we saw like probably 30 or 40 homes after that, just to kind of get test market. And we all came back to the first one we saw and she goes, this is the one. And then she talked to the real estate agent here and we were on zoom and she goes, okay, we're buying this house. You two sort out the logistics and she just walked out the room. I'm like, uh, okay, Mark, I guess we're buying this.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

You know, so, you know, like, so she has that same instinct. She just knows and she follows her gut and she takes actions, which I love. And, and, you know, even though I said previously, how she sometimes put roadblocks, like, when she knows she's no when she's on point, she's on point. And that's, that's her strength. And I think that's the, the key element is to what we're saying is don't be an observer and bystander in your life. You know, be the star, don't be a, you know, don't be that's a the extra in your own movie, right. And I think you know, the analogy I always use, you know, the analogy I always use, you know, the analogy I always use, you know, the analogy I always use, you know, the analogy I always use, you know, the analogy I always use, you know, the analogy I always use, you know, the analogy I always use, you know, the analogy

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

like especially with students when they're younger, trying to decide what careers they want to have. I'm like, if you don't know what you want to do, just choose a door. Like there's three doors in front of you, just choose one. Remember the price is right, just choose one freaking one. And walk in that door and guess what? When you walk in that door, there's gonna be three other freaking doors that you're gonna have to figure to choose. And then you're gonna walk through it. And you might walk through door number two and you walk in and you go, oh my God, this is a horror. Like this is not what I want. Okay, then come out of that door and choose a different door, right? And I think that's life. The thing is though, you're never gonna know

There. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

that you didn't know what opportunities or what things you despise in the third door because you never even took the chance to open the first door. I think this is, but these are small, like this is not just all the big stuff. Yeah, sure. For big decisions, you might want to take your time to opening that door. But for small decisions, sometimes I think you just need to get in, go in, get out, go in, look around and go, I really like this. Just keep going. And I think when you start to do that, I don't know about you.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

gain more confidence and trust. And the thing is what you learn, which I never actually talked about before. It's like, you start to learn about yourself. You start to learn a where, who and where do you listen to? Like in terms of wearing your body, you know, like, you know, some people are doing too. If I know now, like when my intuition and my intuition speaks to me, I better listen because when I doesn't, I don't listen to it. I'm always, I always get screwed. Right. And I think it's

Yeah. Thank you. Yeah.

But you don't know that until you take a chance to like start figuring out how do you operate in the universe? how do you operate in this world and making decisions Does that for you? You know when you make a wrong decision and what happened and you if you analyze it and when you make a good decision What happened and if you'd make enough of them it will average out to go like there are certain things that you did or didn't do That helps you navigate through the decision In decisions in the future

Yeah. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you.

I think that's what's helpful. And if you think about the word decide, right? Decide, side, the ending of C-I-D-E, if you end up, anything with side is to kill off, right? Insecticide, pesticide, like it's to kill, homicide, it's to kill. So when you decide is you're killing off all options. And that's what you're supposed to do. It's like, when you have options in front of you, it is hard to decide because you have to kill off the option, the other options.

Hmm. Thank you. Thank you.

But that's what if you don't have to decide, you can't move forward. And when you can't move forward, you can't, you can't succeed because you're just waiting and hoping that someone will just make a decision for you. And that some is again, going back to life. Do I want to create my life or don't want life to happen to me?

Yeah. Thank you. Yeah. You know, in that scenario that you were talking about, I think there's a distinction between sometimes you just don't know, right? And you don't know how it will turn out. And I agree with you that the process is just about try, start something, get a feedback. So, and that in and of itself will build up self belief, self esteem, confidence, because you're basically making decisions, analyzing them and going again. So that as a process is empowering because you're relying on your own sense of power. As opposed to abdicating to others so what earning time you make decisions whether it's a good bad or otherwise and you learn from it And then you go again. You've actually gained wisdom and experience. So that's that's invaluable I guess the subs the subgroup of people that I'd really want to draw attention to would be the people who probably had that same reaction You and I have I'm gonna go but for some reason stop themselves Right there. I just yeah

Hmm. I've done that many times. I've done that many times. Yeah.

yourself and you go, okay, so what happened in that moment? You know, what was it that, because you got the hit, you got the instinct, you got that, and the same, same. When I, one of the story, and I'll probably share this on some stage, Lawrence, that I shared on stage, shows why intuition is just a really powerful story for me. I never, ever, ever, ever not listened to it. Okay, it's quite literally saved my life, and my life would have gone in a totally different direction So, I plus a really high priority on it, but that's the scenarios to me where you talk about how you gain confidence and trust is by getting and taking action, but then the situations where everything's a screaming yes and you don't, you've got to look at what happened in that moment. Where did I talk myself out of that and why did I do that? That to me is a really important consideration as well.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. And, you know, like the, the, the, when we talk about opportunities, there is another side of it. I think we should probably discuss just the balance out the conversation, which is the opportunity cost, right? So I think that it's important to recognize that every decision you make and every opportunities you take, there's a cost to that too. Do you want to kind of maybe talk a little bit about that? No, add, add some thoughts around that.

Yeah. Yep. Thank you. Yeah, so any opportunities, there's going to be costs in terms of energy, time, money, for those of you who are the most good factors. And effectively, you could start, you can make a regret, you know, so there's also the pain of regret of not making it, taking up an opportunity. So anytime you make decisions, you don't always know how they're going to turn out. And that may, you may work on a great idea and follow it along and to the point where you go, I've done my due diligence, this tells me that it's not a deal that I should proceed with, I've got to pull shoot now and leave it and I just have to accept that because that's the opportunity. He was the opportunity, I ran it out, it's telling me that it's not the right one. I'm talking particularly from a financial perspective here. But sometimes just because you put the effort into it and follow it along, doesn't mean it will work out. But it's having the awareness to go, okay.

Mm-hmm.

about face and let this go? When do I basically delegate? Where do I basically turn around and go, no that's it? Where do I double down and go harder? It's a really important opportunity cost in itself and aside from the energy, time and money that would come in in making those decisions.

Yeah. Yeah, I mean, every opportunity you take is like you said, energy, money and time, all those things, you can't, you know, you can't use, once you dedicate yourself to that opportunity, all of a sudden, like you can't deviate that up somewhere else. So for example, if I have $50,000 to invest somewhere, if I decide to invest in this fund or this stock or whatever, I can't use that $50,000 to or any of that to invest in another opportunity. So like everything has a cost. I mean, using money as an example, but that's no different

Yeah.

and then it was time or energy, it's the same thing. Like if you're gonna dedicate yourself to a podcast, that means I'm dedicating certain amount of hours on this, which means I can now use that hour to do something else. And so we have to factor that in. And that's why it's important to recognize opportunities over the hell yes, hell no. Right, whereas we talked about it earlier, because if you don't, if you just say yes to everything, like, I know some people talk about like, you just gotta say yes to everything. Yeah, well, when you say yes to everything, there's a cost to that.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

cost is that opportunity is what we're going to discuss. And I think it depending on how old you are, I think if you're younger, yeah, I think you should say yes to more things than no. Right? As you get older, I find it's probably saying no to more things than you should say yes to. And it's a it's a it's that balance because now as you get older, I find that you're actually looking for opportunities that it's going to move the needle and actually move you towards because you have very selective time and selective energy that you should really be very selective on

Thank you.

with that investment towards in terms of energy and time and money. Whereas younger, you don't know enough yet. I think, I know, I wasn't wise enough. I don't know, I didn't have the wisdom or the experience behind me. So therefore I said yes to most things because I wanted the experience. I needed to learn and going back to what I said about decision, same thing, like by you taking, saying yes to those opportunities when you're younger in your 20s, it allows you to find out more about yourself. It's nothing to do with the opportunities. It's everything to do.

Yeah.

with who you are and finding about who you are, like how you operate, what's the operating system within you, how you make decisions, and then, you know, creating that confidence to know and analyze how you make decision moving forward.

Yeah, that's great. That's a very good distinction there too, because I'll give you an example where I think this is really relevant. And I always, whenever I heard about the process of making really, saying no to more things than yes, was particularly as it came to family. And so I remember it being explained, for me to say yes to this, I've got to say no to something else. And sometimes those no's are family, the big rocks in life, important. So I think I agree with you totally. I was probably more, yes, to more things early on, just for the same experience. It's like, hey, I want to get out and do that. I've become a lot more discerning over time. And it has to be even projects that I get involved in, even ventures and businesses. For me, the metric is it's got to be meaningful money. It's not just a case of just following it for that sake. It's got to be, it's got to nourish something. That's the opportunity

Thank you. Thank you.

left on this earth, I want to dedicate it to causes and areas and time with people that I appreciate, love, and not that I don't care about a lot of people, but I have to be a lot more selective. And that means saying yes to less things and, you know, to basically shelter and look after the things that are most important to me and to ensure that I don't spread myself too thin.

Thank you. Yeah, and just, you know, to add to that, I think that when you, when you make that decision, I think it's a lot to do with your values and what's important to you. And don't get caught or trapped into making someone else's priority that your priority. So, and this happens a lot with charities, for example, there are literally thousands of charities that you can support. There are so many things that we.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yep.

you know, that need our help. But just because one person values it and that's they dedicate their life, doesn't mean that that should be your focus. And don't, you know, be careful with that. Cause I think, I feel like sometimes there's so much obligation to like fulfill like, oh, you know, it's in the environment. And so therefore we all have to do our part. And then we got hooked into like, this is what we have to do. Even though you have no interest in it. Like I think just be careful about aligning like who you are and listening to yourself.

Yeah.

About the opportunities you want to do rather than what you think society wants you to do or what you should be doing I think it's really be introspective enough and be discerning enough to go This is the opportunities that's in front of me These are the things I should want to do because I want to do it this way And here's why I want to do and having that thought process and journey about that. I think it's going to be critically important

So where I want to circle back to, you had one more point you said? I was going to say I want to link in the synchronicity part of it because you know when you say no to certain things and you're really clear on what you say yes to and you're congruent on your follow path, it's amazing how things quite often then will line up. It doesn't mean that they're all going to go to plan, but in that example when I made the decision to

Yeah, go ahead. No, go for it.

When I got on the, on basically the flights to organize it, I got the last plane out of Madrid to London that would make it in time. You know, I got the last plane out of London at the time that I needed to. I happened to have a 30 minute, like it's just, it's basically, you know, when you make a decision, that's where the saying goes about Providence, things line up and things start working out. plan. There's a direction. And when you've got that, it's almost as if the world and the universe will conspire to help you fulfill that because you're putting out an intention saying, that's where I'm going. And to me, that's where the synchronicity works out, where you have situations and you want it to go to this restaurant and then they needed two people to go. You might want to explain that. You might need two people, but you really want to go there and you think you will gym come, I don't know, and then suddenly gyms there and we can go to this restaurant.

Yeah.

That to me is just, you know, sometimes that's where my universe just basically pulling the strings and just basically assisting things along once you make a clear direction that that's where I want to go.

Yeah. Yeah, and so that's the power of intention and putting things out there. It is a power of like putting your goals down on a piece of paper. These are, you know, so power to be able to voice some of those things to other people, to share them with others and, you know, the vision that you want to share and people start to gravitate, right? But if you can buy, like going back full circle here, if you can buy and sell yourself on that vision, then all of a sudden, like people will want the desire to want to help you. But if you keep it to yourself, don't say anything.

Yeah.

are too shy to action on any any small little thing. How does anybody ever know? Like you know and and that's the the power is that you actually have to take action. It's just not just like dreaming up in your head and I think it's really important to kind of really put things down on paper and actually voice it out and you kind of think what I remember I know this is kind of all boo-boo talk here, but I mean at the end of the day when I was in Carpenter College and I was in second year, I was you know, I had my friend Jamie and Scott, we just sit down in the cafeteria and write out our dreams and we

Thank you.

our dream practice and dream careers. And I wrote down the number I wanted to see, amount of money I wanted to make, and the practice that I wanted to have. And I live in Toronto, right? So I'm from Toronto. And I clearly remember writing down, it goes, I'm gonna have a home by the ocean. And if anybody knows geography, like Canada's not surrounded, well, it is surrounded by ocean, but Toronto is not. It's Toronto surrounded by lakes, not oceans. And

likes

And I had, this is like, this is the second year. I got two years later. It wasn't until two years later where I decided to move to Australia. And it wasn't until much later that I realized, I'm like, oh my God, here's the house. Here's the house by the ocean. And I was like, wow, you know, and that's just like, probably, you know, maybe six or seven years later. And I got to my goal of my practice, those numbers within three years that I thought it was going to take my whole lifetime to achieve. But it took two and a half years, three years to get there. And I was like, man, now what? You know?

Okay.

But these, and people would say that luck, is that what you created? Is this opportunity? Is it because, you know, I don't know, I think it's a combination of all those things. I think it's a combination of dreaming, having the right intention, and then working towards it. You know, knowing that, and knowing with faith and hope that I will get there someday. I don't need it now, but I am, that's the direction I wanna go. And that's the, that's the conspiring thing what you're talking about, Jim, it's like the universal conspires, but you have to dream at first.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

have to be able to go, this is why I want it. This is the intention. It may or may not happen, but I guarantee you it will happen more, the probability will happen more if you actually thought it through first.

Yeah, I think having a really clear, you're right, but in that, in that I'm super clear on what my objective and legacy and what I'm seeking to create are. So I'm clear on the vision, at least as clear as I can be up until the point where I expand the vision. But when situations come along, I guess what I probably didn't mention is that I've got a reference and a checklist that says, is this getting me closer or further away from that? And that is kind of like if you get, you've got your true north and you go, that's where I want to go.

Hmm.

Decisions and opportunities along the way will either get you closer or further away from it. And I've had that, it's like a decision making model, a matrix that goes through a minus. It says, okay, helping subtracting plus or minus. What is it? Is it worthwhile? So you've got values, but you also got that matrix along the way, which helps move the needle closer to where ultimately your vision and objectives are. So that's probably something that might be of help to someone as well too. If you ask along the overarching perspective of, okay, that's the vision, that's the dream

Yeah.

have and want is this action, is it behaviourist, is decision, if this energy time or money helping me move closer to that and if it's not you might want to think about it. If it is as terrified as you may be in that moment, it's a case of just going basically seven seconds of courage and step into it and get going.

I think that's a great perfect ending to summary of exactly what we're talking about here. And I love for people to kind of evaluate, have you always had a goal and a dream and intention to wait? I think I believe that everybody has certain goals and certain intentions that they want to have in their life. The question really is, are you moving closer or are you moving away from it? And if you are moving closer, the question is, or if you're stuck in some way, are you actually taking action every day or every week, every month?

Mm.

Are you consciously taking action to try to achieve it? And the answer is no. Okay. What do you know ask yourself? What do you need to do? Like what is you what is one small thing? You know, you need to do that you can do this week to go and action it now some people will also say well I am doing it But if you're not moving in a closer I would really kind of question whether the action you're say you're gonna is doing is actually moving you closer or not because If you've been stuck in that one place for a long time, you just think you're taking action Then maybe you're in a cul-de-sac what Seth Golden talks about You may be in a dead end that you need to leave and try a different path because the action you're doing isn't really helping. So I think it's so important to know when to quit, to move and change tactic or change strategies. Otherwise, you're just gonna be living that cul-de-sac, beating your head and going, why can't I get across the other side? Well, because it's a cul-de-sac. It ends. And so I think it's so important to kind of look at that. So it's not the dream. It's not about dreaming. I think it's always about taking action and creating those opportunities around you so that you can succeed.

Yeah, nice. Yeah. Yeah.

It's not all, like I said, it's luck will conspire to help you over time, but you need to take the right actions at the right appropriate time. So Jim, that was a great conversation, man.
