| Well, years ago, there was a gentleman who personifies the American dream. | |
| His name's Kevin Thomas. | |
| Everyone can look him up. | |
| His company is called Multiclean. | |
| Everyone can look him up. | |
| I think it's multicleanok dot com. | |
| And Kevin made a profound statement. | |
| He said that if he could have just five employees, that would be success. | |
| You say, well, what does Kevin do? | |
| It's a janitorial service. | |
| You'd say, well, what does a janitorial service do? | |
| He cleans commercial buildings. | |
| And Kevin made that profound statement. | |
| If I could just have five employees, that would be success. | |
| Kevin came and spoke at my at my last conference. | |
| Somebody put their hand up and they said, Well, Kevin, you're having a lot of success. | |
| How many employees do you have now? | |
| He says, Just a hair over 350. | |
| Think about that for a second. | |
| So this guy, Kevin Thomas, had a goal to have just five employees. | |
| He thought entrepreneurship wasn't quite for him, that maybe he didn't have the education, he didn't have the marketing background, he didn't have the accounting, he didn't have the skills. | |
| But what he did is he went on over to thrivetimeshow dot com, that's where I live, thrivetimeshow dot com, and he went there and said, You know what? | |
| I'm going to fill out the form, and I'm going to schedule a call with this crazy guy, and we'll just see what happ happens. | |
| He has 350 employees. | |
| He's one of the most successful people in his town. | |
| And I share that story because everybody out there, you can become successful. | |
| And when you are, money is a magnifier, good and bad, by the way. | |
| So money allows you to be more of who you are. | |
| So if you're a generous person who loves to donate and celebrate and tith to your local church or community or your outreach, you can give more. | |
| Money allows you to be more, to give more, to be, it allows you to just magnify who you are. | |
| And so if you're watching this show and you're kind of in the the mind space where my 37 year old father was, where he was delivering pizzas at Domino's Pizza, which again, great company, we're appreciated for that opportunity. | |
| He was working at Quick Trip gas stations, and we appreciate that opportunity too. | |
| He's working the night shift, and I I don't have an ounce of resentment that my father was working the night shift during my years growing up. | |
| I respect him for doing it. | |
| But if you feel like, man, success has passed me by, Kevin was a guy in his early forties who was having these thoughts, and now he's profoundly successful. | |
| Clay Stairs, who is now an Oklahoma State Representative. | |
| He started his entrepreneurial path when he was 47 years old and now he's super successful. | |
| Bob Healy had terminal cancer and was in his early sixties and now Grillblazer is booming. |
