[00:00:00] CORY: Welcome to the impactors podcast. I'm Cory Carter
[00:00:04] RON: and I'm Ron. Cool.
[00:00:05] CORY: And we are the owners and founders of hindsight hacking media agency, podcast, funnels, graphics, and more head on over to get hhm.com
[00:00:15] RON: guys, we created this podcast to help you go create an impact today. Not tomorrow, not yesterday. Today. We're taking all the fluff, all the BS out so you can go create.
[00:00:32] CORY: And today's topic is
[00:00:34] RON: who you need to be.
[00:00:35] CORY: That's right. We all need to understand who we need to be to have the business and the life that we want. So welcome back to another episode of impactors. And today we're talking about who you need to be. And, and Ron, I got to tell you. If those are the people that listened to yesterday's episode, they heard us talking about being in our, heard you [00:01:00] talking about being an Einstein's. When people are telling us to figure out who we're going to serve. And we're like, well, how do we do that? Like, we were not the people we needed to be.
[00:01:09] RON: No. Oh my gosh. Like Einstein's, there's zero chance. I would have it's ironic. Cause we talk about hindsight all the time on our other show, but like in hindsight, there's no way we were ready for what we needed. Who we needed to be the skills we kind of had. We weren't plan until we practice them. Right. But every challenge in your life, you were the person that got you into that next challenge. Then you have to become the next person to not only get through the current challenge, but. Take you to your next challenge.
[00:01:49] CORY: Yeah. Right. And so I hope people understand that, like if they don't, if they have a business that is brand new and does $0 a month, they can't expect to be the person that [00:02:00] can do a million dollars a month. Like there's different stairs steps. They need to take and become a different person and be able to grow each time.
[00:02:09] Right. And so for you and I, a few years back, our step was we needed to become people that could trust that we could leave actual jobs, W2 jobs,
[00:02:21] RON: right. And it's more about the wives,
[00:02:26] CORY: but we had to believe it before they could believe it. They had to see the belief from us. We had to become the people. That we needed to become to actually get to that point. And then, then it's the next step, right? Like being able to pay ourselves consistently and regularly. Right. And then, you know, what, 500,001 million, 2 million, right? Like there's steps that each one that we all had to become or take the part of that is the process of being able to truly make sure you're trying to better yourself.
[00:02:57] RON: Yeah,
[00:02:58] CORY: right.
[00:02:59] RON: If you, if you [00:03:00] are not trying to gosh I'm just going to open up a little can of worms, a little bit of fresh second. All right. I go through a lot of stuff and I'm stubborn. I'm stubborn and I don't let shit go. I just don't right. And in order to be who I strive to be and have the life I want to have that person can't come along anymore. Can't or guess what? I don't get to have that other side. So you have to grow, you have to put the right things in front of you to grow, to be the who that you need to be more. I mean, the personal father, business, husband, whatever, whatever it is, you're in the situation that you created, period, period, like Corey, you and I created. Our business life.
[00:03:51] CORY: Yes,
[00:03:52] RON: we were the who that created our business life and we will learn. Because that's who we are [00:04:00] and we learn. And, and we'll talk about this, I'm sure later in the week from who it is, but we learn and we want to continue to grow and push ourselves. Cause we know the end game is where we want to be and we are not ready for the end game because we haven't got to be the who we need to be. Just like we weren't an Einstein's for today.
[00:04:23] CORY: Right, right. Yeah. And it's pretty crazy how, you know, I think about business fails, failing, and I mean, our business could fail if, if we did it, but I feel like businesses will only fail if the person doesn't actually. Change themselves through the process because they have to become right.
[00:04:45] Like we did everything. We met, we, the way we did everything, we needed to leave the job. We did everything we needed to grow a business. And then we max out on time because it was just us right. So then we had to become different [00:05:00] people to learn how to delegate from our business. Now that part was easier for us than others might be because when we were in jobs, we had big teams of people and knew how to delegate, right? Like we just had to figure out how to delegate it for our own. Company right. And how to hire for our own company for, for the needs that we needed. Right. And so who you need to be think about, understand, I mean, you know, the, the why you need to find a who understanding the journey and then before you go to the next step, like people just have to understand that they're not growing and they're not trying to become who they need to be. Like, there's never going to be a goal. Like there's never going to be an ending right. You're talking about, I, it just gives me a bright back to say smart goals, right. Or a goal. Right, right. Yeah, I have a specific result. I want to achieve by a specific date. Well, that got, that has to go. Everybody has to understand that goes with just looking in the mirror
[00:05:53] RON: and you got to measure it. Right? So I think it's, I think it's important that people self examine and understand you [00:06:00] need to be a different who, and just because you want to be a different who isn't enough, I've wanted to be a different person on many levels on many things. It's not enough.
[00:06:10] CORY: It takes time.
[00:06:11] RON: It takes time and sometimes it takes reality, right? To force you to look at something and you don't want to.
[00:06:19] CORY: Yeah.
[00:06:20] RON: Right. So my encouragement to anyone that's listening is be real with yourself and who you are. So you can be real with who you need to be. Don't lie to yourself. It doesn't work. People see through it.
[00:06:36] CORY: No. Yeah, I'm going to tell one more story on, on this. And it's you, you mentioned reality 15 years ago. My son was born. My wife was home at, uh, after like two days I was back to work. I didn't even take a week. I didn't even take a week. She had a complication. That her brother, [00:07:00] uh, was able to be there and get her to the hospital. I was at work. I couldn't help. I didn't even leave work right a way
[00:07:09] RON: I didn't know that part.
[00:07:10] CORY: To closing the restaurant.
[00:07:12] RON: Oh, I did know that yea.
[00:07:13] CORY: Just closing this restaurant I was working at before I went to the hospital and that picture, that image of Jackie when I was at the hospital. Well is forever in my ingrained in my head.
[00:07:27] RON: Right, right.
[00:07:29] CORY: That was the day that I decided I need to understand how to be more balanced. I need to be a different person that can prioritize family. Now I work too much. Sometimes I, you know, like it's not all perfect, but overall, by the time you met me, you knew. I would balance family as much as possible. I would work as hard as I needed to be, but like the balancing was always there.
[00:07:54] RON: Yeah. You can do a really good job of that,
[00:07:56] CORY: but it still took like 10 years
[00:07:59] RON: and [00:08:00] some things had to happen.
[00:08:01] CORY: Well, it started with the bad to happen and it still took 10 years.
[00:08:05] RON: Oh my gosh. Okay.
[00:08:06] CORY: Right. Like Jackie. Being in the hospital and me having that image of what four pints of blood being transfused turns into. Right. And then it was like, okay, how do I make this happen? I want it to happen. Like, that was the point of, that was the first time I was like, I want to be a different who within this work world to battle. Right, but it still took me like 10 years to, you know, there was ebbs and flows of it. Right. And it was, I ended up traveling all over the place and that took me away.
[00:08:37] That took me away from the person I was trying to be. Right. Like that's why I had to end up jumping ship where I was. So I didn't travel anymore, which led me to meeting you. Right? Like that was all part of that, that process and that journey of trying to be the right, who for the family and then the right who for the business. Right. And so it's an ever evolving thing. [00:09:00] So I just, I want to tell the story because I hope people understand, like it doesn't happen overnight.
[00:09:04] RON: No,
[00:09:05] CORY: if you want it to happen, then you got to search for ways to make it happen. And sometimes a job, a business or things pull you away. From the direction you wanted to go. And if you're re evaluating your situation on a regular basis, then most likely you can get back to where you needed.
[00:09:24] RON: Yep. True. So true.
[00:09:27] CORY: That is all my friends. That is all we got. I know that's a kind of a glum story. Be the who you need to be. All right. Be the who you need to be and know it's a journey and it's a long process and it takes re evaluating on a regular basis to make sure you're going in the path that you want to go.
[00:09:43] RON: Yeah, absolutely. And like always no fluff, no BS. Just impact. Go make some.
