This lesson is a real-life coaching call I have with a young soon-to-be father named James Metcalf Jr. In episode 37, I spoke with James about starting his own business and he recently reached out to me with some struggles he's been having. We often hear people say "Just take action" but just taking action won't get you the results you want unless it's the right kind of action. In this episode, you'll hear me shoot it on what James needs to do if he wants to succeed with his business. It's one thing to hear me or anyone say "Take effective action" but hearing this coaching call with James might be just the thing to help you better understand what that means and identify where you might need to change something up in your own business. So let's get to it!

For those of you who have been following the podcast, know that we're getting ready to sell our house. It's been pretty busy around here, so we're trying to get as many people as we can over here to help. Tara's brother, Tyson, my brother-in-law, who I interviewed on the last podcast has been staying with us in our guest house, and he's been really helping us get things ready. And just a few days ago we said to him, Hey Tyson, we need more help. And he's like, okay, I know some people. So he's been bringing over his good friend Will who is also a recovering alcoholic/drug addict, and he's been helping us out for the last few days. So that's been awesome. Now I've only talked to Will for a brief second one time and yesterday he came up to me right before he was leaving and just said, "Hey, I just wanna thank you for the podcast. It's really been helping me out."  And so then I was talking to Tyson a little bit more about his situation after Will left, which is kind of similar to Tyson's, I said, Hey, tell him if he listens to all the podcasts, that I'll mentor him if he wants. So last night, as I was laying there in bed and knowing that I needed to record a podcast today, I had all these ideas of different things that I could talk about on the podcast today, but none of them were really pulling out my heart. And I was thinking "What is on my mind right now? Will is on my mind. The people who represent Will are on my mind" Those of you who are struggling in life, but you know, there's something more. And you're just not totally sure how to get there. You just need someone telling you that you can get there and maybe helping, giving you a little bit of groundwork or things to think about.  So that's what we're gonna do today. I am basically going to begin to mentor Will and let him know what he should do to get the success in his life that he's looking for.  (Original Air Date - 5/29/23) What Justin discusses on today's episode: + Introduction and Memorial Day Acknowledgement + Moving House and Preparations + Help from Friends and Family + The Importance of Self-Motivation + Podcast Inspiration and Audience Engagement + The Simplicity of Success + The California Dream: Clarity, Accountability, and Action + Steps to Achieve Your Ideal Life + Determining Your Financial Goals + Choosing Your Vehicle to Success + Creating Your Plan and Non-Negotiables + Starting Your To-Do List + Embracing Change and Overcoming Failure + The Power of Feedback and Adaptation + Balancing Business and Personal Life + The Importance of Taking Action + The Five-Step Process to Success + The Role of Accountability and Execution + The Importance of Time Management and Accountability + Understanding Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) + The Journey to Living Your Dream + Closing Remarks and Encouragement For more information go to MillionaireUniversity.com To get access to our FREE Business Training course go to MillionaireUniversity.com/training.
