Paul Finck:he courses, spent hundreds of:Paul Finck:

As I was saying, I graduated from college and spent 10 years in the medical field, another eight years in the dental field selling almost everything there is to sell in those two industries. I went on to delve into wealth building strategies like real estate and stocks built up millions of dollars in real estate, learning the ins and outs of every type of real estate deal there is even became a realtor and a mortgage broker for a few years to learn the game from all sides. And as my success became obvious, more people started asking me questions about how, how do I do it? How do I do this? And that? How do I pull this together and make it happen? Now important to this story. While I was in the medical dental industry, I had a life changing experience that set me on a different path. And it was the beginning of the journey that I'm on right now. The life changing experience was well, I got married and had six children. Yes, you heard right, six children, actually three sets of twins. And as you can imagine, this changed my world dramatically. I had six kids under six years old. My Financial makeup went completely upside down. I went from a family of four with my wife and two children to a family of eight in 14 months. It was time for me to get real to get busy. It was the one it was one thing to do things different. It was quite another to create magic consistently persistently to create not just six figures, but multi six figures and even seven figures to create a lifestyle I imagined for my family with a family of eight $100,000 will not cut it. The goal and direction became so much more.

Paul Finck:s of:Paul Finck:

How you ask, how do you make this happen? Great question. How do you do all of this? How do you think outside the box to create your dream life? Build your dream business? Welcome to the maverick do a different podcast. We're going to be answering this question and so much more through the whole process of this podcast through every topic of conversation. For now, let me delve into some of the basics. Let's start with how do you begin to think differently the process differently. A couple of places to begin, take a break. Take a break from the challenges and change your environment. Step away from the challenge at hand for just a bit so you can come back to it with a fresh start with a fresh perspective. Go do something different anything different to change your scenery as well to stimulate new synapses and create new creative thinking. Number two is collaborate. Discuss the challenge with others bounce ideas off of them as sounding boards brainstorming with them to create new perspectives from a different angle. Number three, I would suggest to ask what if questions What if you do this or that? Consider doing different approaches and possibilities. Imagine the worst and the best case scenarios. Imagine the extremes to get perspective on what is most likely. Number four, break it down divide the challenge in bite sized pieces. An elephant is one bite at a time and map it out use techniques like mind mapping in pro and con scenarios to get perspective. And number six embrace uncertainty as well as ultimate possibility.

Paul Finck:

In the maverick community there are core principles As we adhere to guide our world making life much more manageable to navigate, one is there is a solution to every challenge. Now, there also may be multiple solutions, but there is at least one. So keep searching for it, it will come to you. You want to be a maverick you want ultimate abundance, you want to be doing a different beware. This involves approaching tasks or situations and unconventional way, breaking with tradition or conventional wisdom and thinking creatively outside the box in order to come up with innovative solutions. Are you up to the task? You must use different methodologies, strategies approaches, taking risks, do something that has never been done before, by you or possibly by anyone to achieve your desired outcome. In order to achieve the results you want. You must do all this and more. Are you ready? Let me share with you a little bit about my early journey. I was 22 years old and an opportunity presented itself or at least I saw it as an opportunity. Others saw it as a challenge. I was a straight commissioned salesperson for a privately held company in the medical industry. And well they were being investigated. And within days, they were actually shut down by the Feds for Medicare Medicaid fraud. Overnight, every salesperson within the company had nobody to back them. Well, most of them were gossiping about what was going on. And still others were holding their head going, Oh my gosh. Now what am I going to do? I got together with another 20 year old and created a solution, a new business. Within two weeks, we had the company, business cards, stationery, storefront and seven salespeople. We got busy building a business building a company and creating a new destiny. It was the first time and certainly not the last I use these methodologies to create mastery in my external and internal world and create success, happiness, joy abundance. I built it for me and now I'm sharing it here with all of you.

Paul Finck:

Are you ready for the next step? Are you ready to jump in and make this happen for you? That's what this podcast is all about. Here's the next logical expanse into this discussion. If a fish does not know it is in water, how do you know you're thinking outside the box. While you're still working within it? It can be difficult to know if you're thinking outside the box while you're working within it because the box represents the set of assumptions, bias and preconceived notions that shape your perspective. These can be difficult to recognize and even more difficult to change, especially since they're deeply ingrained in our subconscious. To see beyond ourselves, if you will take some practice a couple of ways to do this to actively seek out diverse perspectives to challenge your own assumptions. This is where we want you to do and this is one of the major benefits that hanging out in communities like ours, we can provide that feedback loop necessary to create awareness and ultimate change. Overall, you'll want to seek out people with different backgrounds experiences, viewpoints and actively listen to and consider their ideas and perspectives. Additionally, intentionally expose yourself to new experiences, new scenarios, so that you can affect the link challenge your current way of thinking. This could involve reading books, articles, research, or possibly even listening to podcasts just like this one, expanding your influxes stimulus to include topics that are outside of your usual interests or expertise. Ultimately, the best way to know if you're thinking outside the box is to be aware of your own biasness assumptions, and your willingness to question and challenge those biases and assumptions. This can be difficult to an ongoing process, but it is an important part of fostering creativity and innovation. Are you ready to do it different? Are you excited to be a maverick? We are here for you and we're on this journey together.
