Speaker 11 Persistence is not just the grit.

Speaker 11 Persistence is something that gets inside of you

Speaker 11 where all of a sudden there's almost like a miracle mentality that's just not on you, but it's in you.

Speaker 11 Miracle mentality says, somehow, some way I'm going to get through. Somehow, some way I'm going to get through.

Speaker 11 So if there's a mountain in front of you today and talking to everybody watching, sometimes you drill through the mountain that's at persistence chest pounding but sometimes you're supposed to go around the mountain and sometimes you're supposed to climb the mountain so you got to say this mountain that i'm facing today do i drill through it damn it get the hell out of my way drill through it do i go around it or do i go over it

Speaker 2 What is up, the Entrepreneur DNA family? This is going to be a hell of an episode. I have a good friend of mine.

Speaker 2 This is a man who is known as the life coach to the stars, the people that we all want to be like, or do we? We don't know.

Speaker 2 Best-selling author, great friend, nationally recognized speaker. I mean, the resume goes on and on.
My good friend Tim Story is here. What is up, dude?

Speaker 11 Justin, good to be on. And I'm excited about your podcast.
How long have you been doing it now?

Speaker 2 So I've had this podcast for about a year and a half, but I've been podcasting for over a decade. So this specific one is about 16 months old.

Speaker 2 And then I have another one called The Science of Flipping that I've had for 11 years.

Speaker 11 I'm loving it. And you're getting like phenomenal guests.
So it's a privilege to be on. And I'm glad that we're going to talk about the miracle mentality as an entrepreneur because it is needed.

Speaker 2 It is really

Speaker 2 widely needed, right?

Speaker 2 I mean, the reason why I was so happy that you were able to find some time and I know we've been trying to kind of get it between your schedule and my schedule is because, you know, listen, there's a lot of pain right now in the world, of course, but even in business, in the financial sector, in the real estate sector.

Speaker 2 And I'm a firm believer of

Speaker 2 things don't happen to us, they happen for us. And it's a reframing of this.
This is why your book, The Miracle Mentality, is so brilliant. If you guys don't have it, go get it.

Speaker 2 Talk to us a little bit about that. Talk to us about the book, the ideology, where it came from, what it's really speaking to.

Speaker 11 yeah i think that anytime you decide to do something at a higher level you need to think in an extraordinary manner i've been very fortunate enough to do as justin said to be around people that really have done well uh to work with the john paul de joras who sold patron for five billion dollars to be around Lei Coca

Speaker 11 for 80, you know, who's done amazing things for all all these years, and to be around him for 35 years,

Speaker 11 to be around people like Aquincy Jones for over 37 years. And what you learn is that these were common men that thought uncommon thoughts.

Speaker 11 So in order to be an entrepreneur like you desire to be, you have to have a miracle mentality.

Speaker 2 Yeah, and that you say something that I want people to rehear, if you will. Common men that think uncommon thoughts.
And we were just talking offline a little bit ago about

Speaker 2 just the decision to be an entrepreneur is pretty uncommon. Now it is gaining traction, right? I mean, it is becoming much more,

Speaker 2 it's being received a lot more, right?

Speaker 2 But it is an uncommon strategy for the most part still, right? Relative to the nine to five. And so just just the simple fact of someone choosing to be an entrepreneur is uncommon.
And so,

Speaker 2 talk to us about the things that you saw, the common threads, whether it's the Quincy Jones, Lee Ico, what are some of these common threads with their thought process, their belief system,

Speaker 2 their actions?

Speaker 11 Yeah, so let's go into the common man thinking, uncommon thoughts for a second. Let's start even in kindergarten.
In kindergarten, in the average class, you have 20 to 25 students in each class.

Speaker 11 So it's like you're just in this cluster of kids that, you know, they think are common. But within that group of 20 to 25 kids, at one point was Jeff Bezos.
At one time, was

Speaker 11 someone like a Lei Coca. At one point was somebody like an Elon Musk or a Justin Colby.
So within that cluster was common kids, but they chose many of them to find uncommon way of thinking.

Speaker 11 So I call it a miracle mentality. A miracle is something extraordinary, uncommon, and not regular.
So let's go to your life, all you that are watching right now.

Speaker 11 At what point in your life did you realize that you were not normal?

Speaker 11 Well, I asked this to Oprah Winfrey in her backyard. She said, at 10 years of age, I knew I was supposed to do something great.
I asked it to Stevie Wonder.

Speaker 11 Stevie Wonder said, at about seven years of age, I knew I was called to do something great. I asked it to Robert Downey Jr., who became Iron Man.

Speaker 11 He said, Tim, probably about eight, I started making films with my dad. I knew I was not supposed to be regular.

Speaker 11 So the first thing that I would say to you is, at what point in your life did you realize you were not supposed to be regular?

Speaker 11 So let me ask you, gentlemen, at what point in your life did you realize you were not supposed to be just a regular guy?

Speaker 2 I don't know if I knew it then and there, but I realized looking back I wasn't because I always, so I've never had a W-2 job.

Speaker 2 I graduated UCLA, which would be a great diploma to have for your normal W-2 job. I've never had a W-2 job as an adult.

Speaker 2 And when I look back at my childhood, six, seven, eight years old, I was washing cars, right? I was collecting trash around the neighborhood.

Speaker 2 I was collecting the bottles and the cans to bring it to the recycling bin so I could get paid versus the trash can coming around. I would go buy baseball cards.

Speaker 2 We have a good friend, Dan Fleischman, right? He owns coffee and cards. Like I would go buy a box of cards.

Speaker 2 I would open it in front of the store owner and I would sell him back the individual cards that he would want to buy. And I would flip it right then and right there.
And looking back,

Speaker 2 I'm like, I've always been an entrepreneur. It's actually all I've ever known.

Speaker 11 Yeah, I like how you say that because I don't think it's always like an aha moment where you just go ding,

Speaker 11 but it's just

Speaker 11 you could see it by your actions, the fact that you were selling goods, selling things. I like to study people.
I've now been to 82 countries of the world. There's a guy named Ingvar Kamprat.

Speaker 11 He is from Sweden. He created something called IKEA.
Most of us have been there a key

Speaker 11 and the way he started was by selling things door to door when he was eight nine and ten years of age and when questioned in uh an interview did you ever think you'd be the guy that had a keya all over the world he said absolutely not i was just a young guy selling things door to door yeah

Speaker 2 in you know funny enough i had a you may or may not know him sam taggard he he literally runs a door-to-door con and he took me to switzerland last year did he really i love that

Speaker 2 yeah

Speaker 2 so funny we're talking door-to-door again i started in business i graduated ucla with a diploma that people would kill for and i was

Speaker 2 i ended up becoming a door-to-door salesman with that diploma my family literally is like just what is wrong with you right like

Speaker 2 but that is the difference I was willing. That didn't make me quit.
I told them what I wanted to be. Like I was like, I want to go down this path.

Speaker 2 I don't care if you think I'm crazy or silly or stupid.

Speaker 2 And they did. I mean, the reality is people get all caught up on

Speaker 2 what are people going to say about me? And they're already saying it. Your family, your close friends are saying it.
They're saying, oh, he's crazy for doing that. Oh, he's stupid for doing that.

Speaker 2 Oh, he doesn't know what he is. That's just silly, right? They are saying it because it makes themselves feel better, first of all.

Speaker 11 I like this, but let's go into the miracle mentality in business.

Speaker 2 As many of you know I'm constantly on the move juggling multiple businesses traveling and ensuring I get my morning workouts in staying fresh isn't just a preference.

Speaker 2 It's a necessity But let's face it after back-to-back meetings juggling two kids at home and the hustle and bustle of everyday life body odor can become an issue.

Speaker 2 But here's the deal Mando has revolutionized how I stay fresh. This isn't just another deodorant.

Speaker 3 A rich life isn't a straight line to a destination on the horizon. Sometimes it takes an unexpected turn with detours, new possibilities, and even another passenger or three.

Speaker 3 And with 100 years of navigating ups and downs, you can count on Edward Jones to help guide you through it all because life is a winding path made rich by the people you walk it with.

Speaker 3 Let's find your rich together, Edward Jones, member SIPC.

Speaker 11 So what I've been able to do is I've been able to walk stride for stride with a lot of people that other people know, but I got to know them from the inside. So let's say a Magic Johnson.

Speaker 11 I met Magic probably 1989. When I met him, he was still part of the Lakers.
He was doing well. Now he is a billionaire.

Speaker 11 He's a billionaire, not because of basketball, but because of business.

Speaker 11 He was really trained a lot under the tutelage of the owner of the Lakers,

Speaker 11 who is Jerry Buss, who has now passed on. And now his daughter, Jeannie Buss, has taken over.
And they have a special about her on Netflix right now.

Speaker 2 Yep.

Speaker 11 Magic did something very interesting where he learned from Mr. Buss and he

Speaker 11 ventured out. He got into

Speaker 11 part ownership of Fat Burgers, which is kind of like an In-N-Out Burgers. Then he got into Friday's restaurants, only took some of them.

Speaker 11 then he talked to mr schultz at starbucks said we need some inner city starbucks then he got magic johnson theaters then he began to take part of the dodgers the lakers now the washington commanders now a billion dollars now

Speaker 11 how did he do that he had uncommon thinking people that have a miracle mentality they have uncommon thinking.

Speaker 11 All right, so I got to go back to you, Justin, because you know I'm a life coach, so I got to go there. So when did you start thinking uncommon thoughts?

Speaker 11 Was it a nine-year-old little Justin, a 12-year-old little Justin?

Speaker 2 I think it's as young as I could have possibly have been is because I just, again, the reason why, like, I'll give you a great story for me.

Speaker 2 You know, Saturday, friends, me and my buddies were riding a bike. I don't know, call it nine years old, right? Riding a bike around the neighborhoods.

Speaker 2 This is when that was like safe and like easy to do, right?

Speaker 2 So riding a bike, there's these group of girls i remember very clearly we're at a safeway intersect like a safeway strip mall right

Speaker 2 um and they were at the corner and my friends were like oh there's

Speaker 2 and i just jumped on my bike and rode over to them and introduced myself had a normal little conversation i don't remember all their names i believe one was julie but i i say that because they said they were going to go to the park and so i said cool and i went back to my friends my friends were blown away.

Speaker 11 What did you say? How did you say it? Why did you, what did they say?

Speaker 2 And I just kind of shrugged my shoulders. I was like,

Speaker 2 I just said hi and told them my name. I didn't do anything.
Right. And I've always had this like, nothing is actually that big of a deal.
Nothing. Right.

Speaker 2 And now as a business owner, I realize the same thing about. the great times, the high highs, the pinnacles, the peak, the zenith.

Speaker 2 It's not always as big or as great as you think think it is while you're there, because the same perspective, the bottoms, the valleys, the basements, they're not always as low as you think they are, right?

Speaker 11 Love what you're saying,

Speaker 11 because that does show that you are willing to think outside the box by approaching this group. So uncommon thinking comes two ways.
Number one, it's innate.

Speaker 11 So a lot of people that I work with, it could be the greatest soccer players in the world, the greatest cricket players in the world, NBA players, actors, singers.

Speaker 11 Some of them say, hey, I feel like my

Speaker 11 miracle lifestyle was innate. Others say part of it was innate, but most of it was learned behavior.

Speaker 11 That's the beauty of this thing. So if you're not a person

Speaker 11 where you think, man, I don't always think as Justin just said, I don't always think the utmost, the pinnacle, the zenith, the highest. Well, we can train you in this.

Speaker 11 And that's one reason that I love your podcast because you're bringing on amazing guests that we can train you in this miracle mentality. So number one,

Speaker 11 great people who have a miracle mentality, they have uncommon thoughts. Secondly,

Speaker 11 make uncommon plans.

Speaker 11 Now, This is a challenge because a lot of you that are watching, you were raised in a family that if you thought uncommon and made uncommon plans there was a pushback

Speaker 2 some would say oh watch out for your ego uh watch out this doesn't seem like a stable plan but people that do well they make uncommon plans when i say that what does it mean to you justin it's exactly what i kind of went through when i started going door to door my entire family right now my i didn't talk about it with my friends per se because we're all in that weird weird flux of we just graduated college, no one really knows what we're doing.

Speaker 2 So friends were kind of whatever.

Speaker 2 Family, right? They're like, just what are you doing? This is not, you should not be doing this. You should be going for higher education.

Speaker 2 You should be going for that six-figure job in San Francisco or whatever the case is. And that led into even when I would move, right? I moved a lot in my adult life intentionally.
And

Speaker 2 family and friends, like, well, do you know anyone out there? Do you know anyone in Phoenix? Do you have friends out there? Like, what are you going to do? Like, everyone would question

Speaker 2 because everyone was safe in their bubble. They were safe in the, I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Speaker 2 Yes. And, and they loved their bubble.
I mean, to this day, trying to get my family out of Marin County, which is beautiful. It is God's country.
Do not get me wrong. But me,

Speaker 2 it's like,

Speaker 2 it's like pulling teeth. They're like, oh, I don't really want to go anywhere.
I'm like, it's just a bubble.

Speaker 2 Like, I'm all about the bigger bigger experiences the more experiences i want to try every food i want to go to every like i want that because i know life is finite you want this is that more innate or was that more learned behavior totally innate completely innate i i grew up with alcoholic parents you know raising myself essentially like none of that was learned that was all innately me

Speaker 11 Yes, okay. So watch what happens.

Speaker 11 So

Speaker 11 number one, you have uncommon thoughts. Number two, you make uncommon plans.

Speaker 11 So, the pushback from your family, et cetera, is that as Carol Dweck from Stanford University says, people get caught up in a fixed mindset rather than in a growth mindset.

Speaker 11 So, this is what we have to be careful of as entrepreneurs, is that people in a fixed mindset say,

Speaker 11 people from our neighborhood, we don't do that.

Speaker 2 That's right. That's right.

Speaker 11 Is, come on, Justin, get realistic.

Speaker 11 So a lot of people that are watching right now, you're facing that.

Speaker 11 And your mentors

Speaker 11 and many times religion or friends or people you date or people that you marry have a fixed mindset,

Speaker 11 but innately, and also what you're learning. has given you a growth mindset.
So you're going to get frustrated.

Speaker 11 you gotta find a way man

Speaker 2 that's it so so as a life coach what would you advise those people to find that way right how do they how do they break through that forest how do they get through the trees how do they do that uh based around the experience that you've seen okay the the way you do that is you have to partner with the right people

Speaker 11 So you, it's called the power of partnership. This is super, super, super powerful.
There's actually a scripture in the Bible that says, it's Proverbs 13, 20.

Speaker 11 It says, when you walk with the wise, you will stack up more wisdom. But if you spend time with people with no understanding, your life will begin to unravel.

Speaker 2 Ooh, think about this.

Speaker 11 Man, you spend time with the right people, you'll stack up more wisdom. As you know, Justin, with the people that me and you get to hang around with,

Speaker 11 man, we're like stacking up wisdom. If I get around Grant Cardone, I was with him on a cruise for like seven days straight.

Speaker 2 We just go

Speaker 11 every day. When I get around Glenn Stearns, Mr.
Undercover Billionaire, worth right about a billion dollars, we are mixing it up on the same cruise for seven days. The other day I was with Ed Milette.

Speaker 11 You learn. Now I'm with Justin.
I learned from Justin. Justin learns from me.
So you've got to partner with the right people.

Speaker 11 Now, that doesn't mean you'll get to know them, but watch, you go watch their watch their podcast you could read their books

Speaker 11 you could take their courses you could partner with right people so when i say that what goes to your mind

Speaker 2 so i believe in the the you know common four and i say common because i feel like most people should know this but some might not your mind body connections in business right so the connections part is what you're talking about now there are people that will take that to the god and faith side which is great great.

Speaker 2 There's people that take that to the marriage and family and wife and husband and kids. And then there's people that take that into the business.
It's not or. It is an and.

Speaker 2 You need to have all that within your connections. I come from a place of always knowing I will do more, I will be more, I will make more with people than alone.
Yes.

Speaker 2 In fact, it is why the entrepreneur DNA exists him, right? A year ago, a little, a year and a half ago, I've had a decade worth of podcasting. It's been going great.

Speaker 2 And I said, dude, my Rolodex is pretty deep. I know some pretty amazing individuals that I know, but the world should be knowing.

Speaker 2 Why don't I start a podcast called Del Entrepreneur DNA and feature the likes of Tim Story? I just had Dean Graciosi on. I've had Grant Cardone on twice.
I've had name the name, right?

Speaker 2 And it's because.

Speaker 2 I know the opportunities that will come from Tim and I. We talked about it just before we started recording.
There's collaborative stuff that we can be doing today.

Speaker 2 Like tomorrow, we can have a conversation. Like that type of connection with intentionality, I think the missing link to me, and I love your perspective on this,

Speaker 2 people aren't intentional with their connections. They aren't intentional with reaching out and being a part of a master.
Tim, you run an incredible, what I'll call mastermind, an incredible group.

Speaker 2 of movers, of shakers. Let's talk about it for a little bit because if you aren't, if you're trying to find a space, yours might be the space people are looking for.

Speaker 2 Let's talk about your group for a second.

Speaker 11 I, I, I created something called the World Shaker Society. And the reason is, so Justin, maybe me and you would meet and then I would put on my instant story, hey, I was just with Justin Colby.

Speaker 11 And then some other people would say, oh my God, I love him. I follow him, I watch his podcast.

Speaker 11 Or I would be in Germany and I would say who I was with and people would say, oh, I really like that guy.

Speaker 11 So I thought it's interesting that I know so many men and so many women that do well, so many men, so many women that are on their way up. Why not create a group?

Speaker 11 So, we created a group called the World Shaker Society. It is a community of people that have a growth mindset.
It's not good, it's phenomenal.

Speaker 11 It started off where there were over a thousand people trying to get into a hundred spots. Now, I am opening up more spots, and so I mentor you.

Speaker 11 So three times a month on Zoom, you will get together with several hundred people.

Speaker 11 And I mentor you on the eight areas of your life, the physical, the mental, the spiritual, the job, the career, the finances. You guys, come on.
It's phenomenal for only $270 a month.

Speaker 11 Invest in yourself. So to learn more about it, and thank you, Justin, for letting me talk about it.
So Tim and then S-T-O-R-E-Y.com, World Shaker Society. It's a must-do.

Speaker 11 And I bring on the best of the best to help educate us, even on sleep, on breathing, on anxiety, depression. You'll love it.

Speaker 2 Well, and this is where people need to be intentional. I mean, for $300 a month, let's call it.
And you can be around Tim and the other thought leaders and shakers and movers.

Speaker 2 There are people that won't do it. And they're the same people that will be stuck in where they're at and not know why they can't get out from under whatever the thing is.

Speaker 2 They can't get further forward. They're stuck under this financial whatever.
It's because you're not being intentional with creating the connections, right?

Speaker 2 I went around speaking for the better part of seven to eight years on kind of a speaking world tour, so to speak. And sometimes there was five people there and sometimes there was 5,000.

Speaker 2 And it was because I was intentional with

Speaker 2 connecting with the people that I can make a difference with. Right.

Speaker 2 And I mean, even you and I speaking at a Clever Summit together, right? And coming up backstage and being intentional about saying hi. And that's what people are missing.

Speaker 11 I totally agree. And I think that it's almost like you stepped up.
As we started the podcast and talked to some of the girls and you stepped out of your comfort zone.

Speaker 11 This is what I had to do to get close to Ayacoka, to get close to Quincy Jones, to get close to Vidal Sassoon. I mean, these guys were like the masters of their day in what they did.

Speaker 11 But, you know, they invited me around once or twice, but I wasn't shy about calling their assistants and saying, hey, it's Tim Story. I was young.
I was in my 20s. I got an idea.
And they say, oh, Mr.

Speaker 11 Iacoca was just talking about you the other day. Come by the Bel Air house.
I was intentional.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 11 Because I want to be around these kinds of people because I wanted to learn.

Speaker 2 Well, and people need to reframe all of it, right? Meaning, what is the worst someone can say if you do reach out? Yeah. No,

Speaker 2 that's the worst they can say. No, I don't want to do business with you or no, I don't want to date you if you're trying to get a girl.
Like, no.

Speaker 2 Okay. So what? Who cares? Irrelevant in your life.

Speaker 1 You move on.

Speaker 11 yeah see i i was looking up i was looking up a picture while we were talking because i i want to show this this is this is me uh the other day yeah at

Speaker 11 this is in detroit and the motown house is right behind me so at motown watch this barry gordy

Speaker 11 created motown Out of Motown, Justin, came Stevie Wonder,

Speaker 11 Okie Robinson, Marvin Gaye, Temptations, The Jackson Vee, and Diana Ross and Supremes, okay? All out of that little house.

Speaker 11 So, Justin, intentionally, I went and visited there the other day, just three days ago, but I want to tell you something that's awesome because we're talking about the power partnership.

Speaker 11 Smokey Robinson said, I would never be Smokey Robinson if it wasn't for Stevie Wonder.

Speaker 11 Stevie Wonder says, I will never be Stevie Wonder if it wasn't for Smokey Robinson. Marvin Gaye said the same.
The Temptation said the same, because they all collaborated with each other.

Speaker 11 That is the power of partnership.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 11 So I like to say this, and it's an old saying, probably been around 30 years. You need to go where you're celebrated, not where you're tolerated.

Speaker 11 Go where you're celebrating, not where you're tolerated.

Speaker 2 I don't go where I'm tolerated.

Speaker 11 I'll go to Justin where I'm celebrated.

Speaker 2 Amen. Amen.
That's right. And

Speaker 2 again, kind of leaning into this connections, I want you to realize like, so I don't think you've heard me say this.

Speaker 2 I don't think, but I became very intentional in 2025 to say I'm more about collaboration than anything else. Like collaboration over competition, when you get to a certain level of life,

Speaker 2 there are still those guys out there. And

Speaker 2 Tim, you know what I'm talking about. Like.
I'm going to kill everybody. I'm out and take everybody's food.
I'm out.

Speaker 2 Fine. Let's see how far that takes you, right?

Speaker 2 Like you might do well you might but what what about the other four components of your life like how are your connections how's your your family how are your kids like if that's your mentality like i don't get me wrong in business i am in business to win yeah but it doesn't mean the other side has to lose either yeah make sense i i listen I love this about you because I'm all about the collaboration and I collaborate with a lot of people that do extremely well, but I do collaboration with people that are on the come up.

Speaker 11 Man, you don't know

Speaker 11 who is like working on brilliance. I remember the first time I met Pharrell Williams, I was in the studio with another very well-known rapper.

Speaker 11 And Pharrell was there. He just looked like some quiet kid from Virginia.
We didn't know he was going to be Pharrell Williams and create all these songs. And now he's doing Louis Vuitton

Speaker 11 men's collection.

Speaker 2 So

Speaker 11 you never know who's in the room, right?

Speaker 2 Yeah, never.

Speaker 2 And don't ever end. One of my favorite people on the planet, one of my closest friends, Kent Clovier, taught me this.
He has a story regarding

Speaker 2 his first like really big investor in the real estate space. And it was this old farmer, off shucks, like overalls, cowboy hat, literally looked like he came out of the field.

Speaker 2 And Kent tells a story, but it's just so true. So I tell it as well, but like

Speaker 2 he treated him like everyone else good conversation intrigue you know wanted to be interested in him etc etc everyone else was like uh here's some old farmer who cares right everyone else in the room and and kent had the same conversation with him that he would with tim story a known name best-selling author and that farmer was worth millions and millions and became a great business relationship to Kent.

Speaker 2 And I tell that story because it's a little bit more extreme

Speaker 2 but the idea is right like just you never know who you're talking to you never know whose hand you're shaking and if you go in with the right intention

Speaker 11 you never know where that connection leads you i like the intention side because i think that that shows character

Speaker 11 and i think we've we've lost a lot of that in the pursuit of success. You got to keep character.
So let's go back to miracle mentality. So number one is you have to have uncommon thoughts.

Speaker 11 Number two, you have uncommon plans. Number three, you have to have uncommon partners, the power partnership.
And then this is a very interesting one.

Speaker 11 Out of uncommon partners, you have to have uncommon resilience. Let's talk about that.
Because what's going to happen, you guys, there's going to be an opposition to your mission.

Speaker 11 It's going to be like being in football at the 10-yard line. That's when they call that the red zone.
They're going to throw blitzes at you, certain schemes you've never seen. Some of you are so close

Speaker 11 to doing something huge and you almost want to back off.

Speaker 11 But Justin and I are going to help you today.

Speaker 2 We're going to fire you up.

Speaker 11 We're going to give you some strategy to get you over the goal line because you will face resistance if it's not from your spouse or your girlfriend, it might be from other investors.

Speaker 11 It might be from a pandemic would hit, but there will be resistance.

Speaker 11 Persistence breaks resistance. When I say persistence breaks resistance, Justin, teach him on that.

Speaker 2 Let's go. Listen, I was going to make you repeat it, by the way, so I'm glad you repeated it.

Speaker 2 Because there's no way, you know, the age-old analogy, there's no way to beat a man man who keeps getting up.

Speaker 2 He's unbeatable.

Speaker 2 And I've done, you know, now, so 2003 to 2025, so it's 22 years as an entrepreneur. 18 of those specifically have been in the real estate space, right?

Speaker 2 I can't tell you how much, like it is, I couldn't tell you how many days I see resistance.

Speaker 2 You know, one, sometimes bigger than the others, right? Like right now, just in transparency, I'm dealing with a crooked contractor who has financially genuinely hurt my real estate business.

Speaker 2 And I tell people in transparency that because I want them to realize, even though where they view me and where I'm at in life and the money I've made and all the cool shit that you see on social media,

Speaker 2 I still have to deal with resistance, with getting punched in the face. And by the way, going back to connections and tying it all in, guess who I get to call when I'm on the mat?

Speaker 2 Tim, come pick me up, bro. Get me off this mat.
Like, I need help right now. Yeah.
And that goes back to your connections. Who are your connections?

Speaker 2 I made a post the other day, kind of something like: hey, if they're not there to, if your friends or your people, your connections are not there to pick you up off the mat when you're down, do not answer the phone when you won the World Series.

Speaker 2 Wow. Okay.
This is so good.

Speaker 11 Justin, sometimes as an entrepreneur, you feel like Jackie Chan in Rush Hour One.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 11 He's minding his own business with Mr.

Speaker 2 Tucker, right?

Speaker 11 And so

Speaker 11 they're doing rush hour one. And then remember, like the opposition would come and then bow, he'd get that bow, bow, bow.

Speaker 11 And like different people were coming from different spots, coming from the back.

Speaker 2 He'd flip.

Speaker 11 That's how you feel as an entrepreneur.

Speaker 11 So right now, Jeff dealing with a contractor, but the same time, you might have something else hit, or you're working on a property and a snowstorm hits Cleveland and you didn't expect it.

Speaker 2 That's right.

Speaker 11 And then you know, you might have a health scare. So, but there is a way of dealing with those Jackie Chan things coming at you all at once.
And it is that book by Mr. Keller from Keller Williams.

Speaker 11 You have to

Speaker 11 one thing at a time.

Speaker 11 That's how you deal with an opponent. One, watch, at a

Speaker 11 time.

Speaker 2 that's right and and the thing

Speaker 2 most people try to swallow the elephant they see

Speaker 2 and listen the problem i have right now this isn't some like oh i lost a couple bucks on a flip like this guy got me right totally criminal fraudulent the whole thing right

Speaker 2 and you could look at it to in the totality of it

Speaker 2 or you could go into bite-sized chunks And one bite at a time, one thing at a time, and over the runway, runway. I call it a runway.
You need a runway to take down the elephant, right?

Speaker 2 You need to get through it all, and you will if you persist.

Speaker 2 If you decide to say, it, I quit, yep, you're going to go right back to wherever you are, and everywhere you go, there you are.

Speaker 11 And what happens as you know that if you learn how to deal with the resistance at this stage of your life, you'll be better at in five years, 10 years, 20 years. It's like the goats in basketball.

Speaker 11 A LeBron James could have a bad quarter, but in his mind, he's like, dude, look,

Speaker 11 I'm going to turn this around. You agree?

Speaker 2 I agree. I mean, I'm a Warrior fan, right? So I'm diehard Warriors.
So Steph Curry's like,

Speaker 11 let's take it to one of the Warriors then. Which one?

Speaker 2 Steph Curry, look at his first five years, right? People thought he was never going to make it. He had ankle problems.

Speaker 2 Like, why did they, you know, know, draft such a skinny, small little point guard, blah, blah, blah.

Speaker 2 He is arguably one of the top five great, in my opinion, top five greatest players to ever live.

Speaker 2 Not to mention the best three-point shooter of all time history. And he's doing at a level that most little young Thundercats, the 22-year-olds, wish they could still do.
Same thing with LeBron.

Speaker 2 He's still performing at such a high level at 40 years old. Like, it's insane.
Right. And so, again,

Speaker 2 there's always that. And then that brings me into a sports analogy.

Speaker 2 You can't win the championship with the clean jersey. Yes.
It doesn't happen. No one does it.
Right. Look at the people that you work with, Tim.
I mean, you just.

Speaker 11 And that is so good.

Speaker 11 It's true.

Speaker 2 You can't win the championship with a clean jersey. You can't.

Speaker 2 But I bring this into your world, right? You're the life coach to the stars. You talked about Robert Downey Jr., at least I'm aware.

Speaker 2 Most people are aware of the drug battles he went through and going to jail and all this.

Speaker 2 He's fucking Iron Man.

Speaker 11 He's Iron Man is worth about 400 million now.

Speaker 2 Persistence, right? Growth.

Speaker 11 Things.

Speaker 2 Yeah, you might make some silly decisions. Granted, got it.
Fine. Okay.

Speaker 2 But that doesn't define you. Okay, so he made a choice to not be defined by the silly decisions he made, start working with Tim Story, and now he's worth 400 million.

Speaker 2 I like how you are, are uh

Speaker 11 verbalizing this. So, let me just tell the people, though, that persistence is not just grit.

Speaker 11 Because a lot of people think persistence is just, I beat the sun up, okay?

Speaker 11 That they're just like, dude, I'm in the gym.

Speaker 2 I'm in the 10x health with Gary Brecka.

Speaker 11 And Gary Brecker, I love you. Okay, but persistence is not just the grit.

Speaker 11 Persistence is something that gets inside of you

Speaker 11 where all of a sudden there's almost like a miracle mentality that's just not on you, but it's in you.

Speaker 11 Miracle mentality says, somehow, some way I'm going to get through. Somehow, some way I'm going to get through.

Speaker 11 So if there's a mountain in front of you today and talking to everybody watching, sometimes you drill through the mountain. That's that persistence chest pounding.

Speaker 11 But sometimes you're supposed to go around around the mountain and sometimes you're supposed to climb the mountain. So you got to say, this mountain that I'm facing today, do I drill through it?

Speaker 11 Damn it, get the hell out of my way. Drill through it.

Speaker 2 Do I go around it or do I go over it? And by the way, don't make that decision your own four walls. Yeah, haul someone.
Call someone who's been there. This is the power of Tim's mastermind.

Speaker 2 Be around people who have been there before. So you have someone a call to say, hey, I have a mountain sitting in front of me today.
What do I do? Do I go through? Do I go around? Do I go over?

Speaker 2 Like, and then use the path of proven model, right? If Tim says, Justin, you've done this, go around today because watch this, watch what happens rather than going over.

Speaker 2 Then I know it's a proven model. Tim's done it.
Tim's been through it. I can just go replicate the proven model.

Speaker 2 This is why you need to be a part of it.

Speaker 11 And that's what we do with this mastermind. It's called World Shaker Society.
Thank you, Justin, for mentioning it.

Speaker 11 And it's a group of men and women, men and women. So I bring on the best entrepreneurs.

Speaker 11 So you will hear from the best speakers we have in the world, sleep coaches, but you also bring on people from the IRS, how to deal with taxes. I'm going to deal with, we deal with everything.

Speaker 11 So that is true. Within this group, this private group.

Speaker 11 that costs only $270 a month, that it's three sessions every month on on zoom and i coach you you have the chance to ask somebody who is the best and of the best in dealing with the irs and taxes like what do i do yeah i'm in this dilemma in the area of a loan what do i do so there's no doubt about it we need help you need help i need help I constantly go to my friends for advice.

Speaker 2 Of course. And, you know, this is such a powerful episode.

Speaker 2 And I think that the thing that I would tell you guys, make sure you get into Tim's mastermind, but also understand Tim's story, Justin Colby, name the name.

Speaker 2 We deal with the same shit you guys deal with. And we too need to make some phone calls.
And I want that to be a big takeaway from the episode, right?

Speaker 2 Now, yes, there are some levels to who we get to call when you're around certain circles, but you got to start somewhere. You need a circle, right? And that's where Tim's mastermind.

Speaker 2 Dude, I appreciate you so much. I appreciate all you do for the community, for people, for performers, for entrepreneurs.
Tim, you're a blessing to the world, my friend.

Speaker 2 And people need to know more about Tim Story.

Speaker 11 Thank you. Justin, keep on changing lives the way you do.
And

Speaker 11 you have a real servant spirit. And I think that's one reason life is just picking you up and just taking you out there.
So

Speaker 11 the guys that have gone before you, like myself,

Speaker 11 we honor you. We're proud of you.
And it's your time to shine.

Speaker 2 Hi, brother. I appreciate you.
Thank you for those kind words. Again, check out Tim's story.
