Listen up, this is something for you. Talk to you soon. Hi everyone is Paul Finck the Maverick Miillionaire of the Maverick Universe and you're listening to Mavericks Do It Different podcast. Today I want to discuss with you how how the maverick universe and I specifically are different than most coaches were different than most speakers and thought leaders in the marketplace and how this difference will serve you. I'm going to be sharing core Maverick principles that will help you be different so that you can really stand out be noticed and succeed in today's marketplace. I know you have a ton of options in the world as to who to listen to who to get advice from. And I'm honored you have stopped on this podcast to listen to me. My whole career has been based on the mantra do it different. My success in the success of most of the elite is centered on doing things different to create a different result, a different result than the norm to create a different outcome. As I mentioned in the previous podcast, and will certainly mention many times over. To be a maverick means to do it different every day to create a different future a different life, a different life than you've ever dared dream. When you want to create even more in your business even more in your life, this podcast is for you. So go ahead and grab a coffee, grab your notebook and let's get busy. I am Paul Fink, the Maverick Millionaire and I am different. Yes, I am different in my approach, my background, the business and my life. This difference is rooted in my unique journey on how I got here and the core of my experiences to what I have learned along the way. I went to school to be a clinical psychologist I had taken a couple of classes in high school and got really thrilled with the idea of understanding the human condition. However, as I went through college, I realized that maybe this wasn't the career path for me and I started studying business and business concepts. By the time I graduated and was focused on going into business and right out of college, I went into straight commission sales. I've never looked back. Within six months, I had my best friend working for me and within one year I had my first distribution company with seven salespeople working for me was off and running. Over the next decade plus I founded multiple companies in diverse industries using multiple business models as the foundation. I was in the medical field, the dental field capital equipment, surgical supplies, multilevel marketing, direct sales, as well as manufacturing, wholesaling. All of this served to give me great experience and knowledge. However, it never quite added up for me. When I was in college, I thought the ultimate goal the ultimate dream was to make 100,000 our six fingers. I thought that was the definition of making it. With six figures, you could have your abundant lifestyle. I did that I achieved about 80,000 to 120,000 every single year for years. For most this would have been great in the end of the story. This was good enough to go on vacation once a year go on dinner once a week, decent lifestyle, and they probably would have stayed at that level for the rest of my life. Never knowing my fullest potential. And never knowing all life could really have been for me never touching the millions of people's lives that my journey has connected me with. You see, I lived with self imposed limiting beliefs as to who I was what I could be I thought $100,000 producer was me, which meant if I was on track to make only $80,000 I kick myself in gear and get busy and create more. However it also meant when I was on track to make $120,000 for the year I pat myself on the back and relax a little bit sitting back, saying I deserve a little break. I had already achieved my goals. See, this is what we call the thermostat syndrome. I had my thermostat set for $100,000. My guess is you have yours set at some number. Also, were a vision of who you are. You say to yourself, I'm a company worker, I'm 65,000 hour employee, I drive a certain car, I live in a certain house. I even live in a certain state or geographic area, I belong in a certain social economic group of people once decided, we stay in that space for the rest of our lives, unless, unless we decide to adjust our thermostat. If you have made the same amount of money year after year, if you have been in the same job for years, if your standard of living has reached those specific level and has not changed over the last, I don't know 357 10 years, chances are you have reached the level you set on your thermostat. Do you want to stay there? Or do you want to step back in the life and decide you want to live your fullest potential? For almost 40 years now I have worked for myself, never having had a nine to five job, I've always mean my own way and earn my value. Unfortunately, I didn't use to value who I was or what I had to offer. Sound familiar? Those I got paid only based on what I believe my value was, which at the time was significantly less than what I deserved, or what I thought shouldn't be. I have learned since then how to adjust my thermostat to attract my value based on my fullest potential versus my worst possibility. And learning to adjust your internal thermostat is one of the first strategies I'll work with you on as one of my clients to enable you to get in the game and even higher level. What changed what caused me to adjust my thermostat life experiences. Somewhere in this journey, I got married and a short time later, I had six children, three sets of twins were the last set were born I had six children under six years old. This changed everything. My Financial makeup went completely upside down. With a family of $800,000 in poverty level or close to it, I had to figure out how to do things dramatically different to create dramatically different results. And I started looking into how to build wealth, how to create more, how to accomplish more in less time, how to hit the market and create the results and keep it balanced so I could still enjoy my life with my wife and my children. How do you do all that? I started looking into what it meant to create wealth. What were the major wealth building strategies out there in the marketplace? What I found is the number one, without a doubt that consistently showed up was real estate. I began to study real estate investing, understanding how it worked, I got busy reading book after book, taking course after course studying with some of the top mentors in the industry. And over the next two and a half years, I built up a $5 million portfolio of real estate. I was often running. This was getting exciting. As this success started building up, people started to take notice. And as they did, they began to ask me How How did you build this up? How did you create this? How did this all happen? And I began the process of engaging with people and advising them coaching consulting, consulting about what I had done how I got here. First one, then another one by what I began sharing what I had done and how I scaled so quickly, how I created exponential results from what I would appear to be from nothing. I continue to study my craft. Very important. I found a mentor. I found a mentor I connected with knew the industry and was playing at a very high level. I put in my time working with his mentor for the next two to three years to learn the industry. I learned the industry the details I spent the time necessary. One of the key components that I teach is that you need to put in your time you need to pay your dues. There is no get rich quick scheme here. There's no overnight success. There's a step by step process that works. Yes, you can go faster than the next guy you can create exponential results.

And number five, your quotient factors. To be a leader and business person you want to be in you must take charge of your quotient factors one of the most popular is intelligent quotient. However, scientific study of successful people has shown that it's the least of all the quotient factors for you to master, the others emotional quotient, social quotient, spiritual quotient, and one of the big ones that adversity quotient. Each plays an important part in your financial future, and your future success. Sharpen your quotient factors and watch your success flow in. So your takeaways from today. Remember to focus on the internal game of businesses is highly important to win the external game and overall game if you will, and begin the strategic process of sharpening your ax in the five factors to success. crystal clear clarity and laser focus on your destiny, the art and science of leverage daily action steps communication process and the cushion factors.
