1:56

Not that this matters, but I'm actually standing up

1:58

right now recording this episode like I usually

2:00

sit down, but you know, I'm getting

2:02

older when I care about my steps. When

2:06

I look at my watch, I'm like, how many steps I'm at today? All

2:09

right. I'm at 6,000. I got to get to

2:11

10. So I'm literally like

2:13

walking back and forth. We had a funny,

2:15

I'm against today's episode. I promise you, actually

2:18

I'm asked, I'm asked, ask green, ask green.

2:20

I'm asked, I'm asking. Oh

2:24

man. Come on brain. I'm answering.

2:28

Ask green. I'm answering a question that

2:30

I've been getting a lot in my inbox from

2:32

you guys. And so I'll tackle

2:34

that in a minute. And I think it's going

2:36

to be very valuable to you because it's something

2:39

that I kind of talked about maybe an episode

2:41

here at air, but I'm a really diving deep

2:43

on today's episode. But, um, yeah,

2:45

we were in Disneyland and like, I was winning

2:47

the step battle. Right. We were like, let's check

2:49

our steps. And I was winning the battle and

2:51

they caught me. They're like, dad, we're

2:53

like, trip, you're with the step out of it. You're

2:56

standing in line, just moving your feet from side to

2:58

side of today. That's stepping right.

3:01

And so I found a little trick. If you want to gain

3:03

some steps, you know, why you even stand and still kind of

3:05

move your feet around, even if you're

3:07

not moving anywhere. So that's what I'm doing

3:10

right now. Um, today's episode,

3:13

I believe is going to be very informative to you. So

3:16

I would say the energy, the passion might not be there,

3:18

but y'all know me as price still going to be there,

3:20

but I want to be very informative because I do

3:23

believe this episode can help change what you're

3:25

doing, right? If you are a business owner,

3:27

if you are a content creator, if you

3:29

have something that you are involved in, that

3:31

you want to increase the value of, if

3:34

you want to increase the value of you,

3:36

right? That's today's podcast, how to increase the

3:38

value of you in what

3:40

you're doing. I'm going to say the word

3:43

marketplace because it just sounds professional, but just

3:45

in what you're doing online, if you're at

3:47

work, whatever it is, like, I'm going to

3:49

break down three simple ways that you can

3:51

do it that I think about. But

3:54

before we get into that, when

3:56

I think about the value of

3:58

me, I think. About the need

4:00

of me. right? If you want

4:02

to increase the value of you, you have

4:05

to be needed more. A wouldn't

4:07

think Love always thought through him. a

4:09

process of war. Rehab Thomas I'm okay.

4:11

How can I increase the need? I.

4:14

Want to? People need to go watch my videos.

4:16

Why do people need to listen to the park?

4:18

Ask why do people need to come to the

4:20

That's why do they need it? A Most people

4:22

aren't clear that I asked about it's okay, why

4:24

did I need to come to you and they

4:26

give me some sellers because I care like I

4:28

do that at So I love it. You chair

4:30

right? But as to be deeper to that so

4:32

many people you. Know

4:34

chair back here boards read okay, that's

4:37

that's your perspective and I might be

4:39

true. But. Why do they really

4:41

need you right? What's different about you?

4:43

Write. What it would You understand That's when

4:46

you're value increases. So we're going to talk about

4:48

briefings today that all look at to increase the

4:50

value and I would share with you to help

4:52

increase the value of you so you can actually

4:54

take your thing to the next level because it's

4:56

about working harder. I want to be clear about

4:58

that. So you think that about where I'm at

5:00

illicit? For somebody you that might be the case.

5:03

Somebody might be late. Seventies

5:05

of my be lazy your do that we expect every week

5:07

on the. But. As

5:10

a listener, it's result park as as a rehab or.

5:13

I altogether moses I think you

5:15

are extremely hard workers. In.

5:17

For so you know you're thinking that the reason

5:19

I'm not where I want to be because I'm

5:21

not working hard enough and that's not always the

5:23

case. Other words: you to work harder than you

5:25

have to. On. That the.i don't want you

5:27

to sit here in exhaust yourself. He beat tiger

5:29

bags on the as you look like stress. I

5:31

know we got our seasons of that about my

5:33

see who they are. Go to Marcin The that

5:36

was. I don't want you to work harder than

5:38

you have to. That. Of his

5:40

see my both. A. Pleasurable life to

5:42

me. But. I.

5:44

Would sue to. Understand

5:47

in your work. How

5:49

to make your worked worked for

5:51

you. Because. So it was. were working

5:53

extremely hard. some of you might be working hard

5:55

The Me: Which. Had our reach more people

5:57

are me. You're. not connected

6:00

more people than me and I'll tell you

6:02

why it's because I understand

6:04

how to increase the value of

6:07

me in an authentic and real

6:09

way. I might tell you to

6:11

be something that you're not, I might tell you to fake it

6:13

to your making, I might tell you to change unless you want

6:15

to right to each his own this is your

6:17

world baby girl baby boy you do what you

6:19

want but I would rather you be you

6:21

because I don't want you to lose yourself in

6:23

the process of trying to obtain success and all

6:25

that all that stuff but I want to read

6:27

this quote to you real quick it's by Tony

6:29

Robbins and I was like this

6:31

fits perfect the quote says find a

6:33

way to do more says the secret to wealth

6:36

is simple now I would even like you can

6:39

substitute the wealth word with anything else

6:41

the secret to success the

6:43

secret to growth the secret to more impact

6:45

is simple find a way

6:47

to do more for others than

6:49

anyone else does and I'm

6:51

gonna stop and I'm gonna break each sentence down

6:53

and it's find a way to do more for

6:55

others than anyone else does that

6:58

is so true and it's not

7:00

about competition it's not about oh Trent is doing

7:02

three podcasts a week I'm gonna do four right

7:05

it's not that but it's

7:08

saying you know what I'm gonna

7:10

serve I'm gonna care

7:12

I'm gonna really care more and I'm gonna prove

7:14

it right I'm gonna show up more

7:16

and I'm not really worried about other people are

7:18

doing but it's just a mindset that I'm gonna

7:20

give my all to this because some people in

7:22

this world and I know this is not you

7:25

because you're different but some people will give a

7:27

halfway effort and expect full-time results

7:30

and that's the problem right they barely doing

7:33

anything and they're expecting full-time

7:35

results and so for me

7:37

I've always said since

7:39

the beginning like even with this

7:41

podcast and we're gonna talk about this in a little bit but

7:44

you guys now know I'm doing three

7:46

episodes a week there are

7:48

some people who are inconsistent with podcasting and expect their

7:50

podcast to grow well Trent you know I have a

7:52

podcast but only do it once a month and if

7:55

that's what you want to do that's fine like I'm

7:57

not shaming you but even saying I want to grow

7:59

this podcast But you can't do it

8:01

was a month. There's some people that say okay, I'm

8:03

taking a break from social media for half a year

8:05

for your mental health. I get it if that's what

8:07

you want to do. But if you're trying to say

8:09

I'm trying to grow my social media, you kids like

8:11

a six month hiatus. Uk.

8:14

Maybe you can start cause every six months.

8:16

And. Have scheduled out seizure. Really take a break. That's

8:18

what I would do. That's what I do sometimes.

8:21

Before. A lot of was like we're not

8:23

really put not all intuit you have to

8:26

put your all into a whatever do that

8:28

you do swabbed like that for since find

8:30

a way to do more for others anyone

8:32

else. Become. More valuable.

8:35

Do. More Give more be more sir

8:38

More A you will have the opportunity.

8:41

To. Earn more. Who do more?

8:43

Give more, Be more, served more

8:45

and you will have the opportunity.

8:48

To earn more it when we say more.

8:51

I want to be clear about this. More.

8:54

Doesn't mean again, Just.

8:57

Kill yourself or work. I

9:01

think more mean strategic.

9:04

It means okay. I.

9:07

Understand how I'm gonna show up? In.

9:10

I'm going to dive deeper in how I show up.

9:13

That. The more it's not always

9:15

about. Quantity rise. All can

9:17

do all these things on what you

9:19

spread yourself. This. But.

9:21

The more to me and serve him

9:23

more thought about serving more people. Necessarily

9:25

It's about how can I serve more

9:27

to the people that are already have.

9:31

I thought about be more to. Other

9:33

people it's about how can I be more

9:35

to the people that already have because out

9:37

that you low elo secrets would you be

9:39

more and you serve more and you give

9:41

more to the people that you already have

9:44

the guess what your network expense. Because.

9:47

Littler me, I'm I'm going ahead of myself. I'll

9:50

come back to this point in in in just a

9:52

second. So. For three days.

9:54

Really quick. That. Can

9:56

help increase the value of

9:58

you in reason. that I didn't finish

10:00

that statement because the third thing we're gonna jump into

10:03

our second thing. So number

10:05

one and these are simple things y'all like

10:07

I didn't I don't want to give you some

10:09

crazy thing like I want to make this simplistic

10:11

I want to make this common sense. So number

10:13

one I think one of

10:15

the main things that you have to I'm

10:18

gonna use the word master that

10:20

you have to understand

10:23

is your

10:25

personality will increase

10:27

the need of you and

10:30

this might sound very rude I'm not talking to you because

10:32

I know your personality is amazing but

10:34

some people's personality sucks. Their

10:38

talent is great what they're offering is great what they're

10:40

doing is great but

10:42

just that personality sucks. You ever been around a person like

10:44

they just have great stuff except their personality and you don't

10:46

want to be around we don't want to be a part

10:48

of what they're doing. And

10:51

personality is a wide

10:53

umbrella right and it's

10:55

a time for me it took a few

10:57

years for me to gain confidence in

11:00

my personality so I can feel comfortable in my skin

11:02

as a communicator as a speaker now like

11:05

my personality shines this is what people tell

11:07

me I'm not full of

11:09

myself these are what people are telling me it

11:11

shines because they can feel me being

11:13

all of me and not

11:15

being afraid to be all

11:18

of me and I

11:20

believe what happens when you embrace your personality

11:23

fully you increase the aura of

11:25

you we talk about the word aura it's

11:27

just like oh it's something about that person

11:30

it's because I believe they're

11:32

fully embracing who they

11:34

are so that personality umbrella is

11:36

wide right it's your character it's

11:39

how you carry yourself it's your

11:41

looks and I don't even want to

11:43

say that because I don't want the people thinking

11:45

some vain stuff but looks matter and I'm not

11:47

saying like you have to be pretty or handsome or

11:49

things like that but looks can

11:52

matter like just being honest it can and

11:54

I'm not telling you to overthink that but

11:57

you found a style you found a swag

11:59

you found and the personality about

12:01

yourself, like that helps

12:03

increase the value of who you are.

12:06

It increases what we're gonna talk about in a moment,

12:08

okay? The visibility of who you are, we'll talk about

12:10

it in a moment. But also when

12:12

it comes to like personality, the

12:16

words you use, the tone you use, how

12:18

you communicate, how you

12:20

engage, how you listen, how

12:23

you carry yourself, these things

12:25

matter. If you take

12:27

time to think about

12:30

people you consider valuable or people

12:32

you feel like you need, right, think about your

12:34

favorite podcaster, meh. No, think

12:36

about your favorite podcaster or whoever it

12:38

may be. Somebody you follow online, I

12:42

can pretty much guarantee you, you enjoy their

12:44

personality. It's

12:46

something about them that you enjoy. And

12:49

that's why you're there, that's why

12:51

you listen to them, that's why you buy from

12:53

them, is because you

12:55

enjoy something about them. And

13:00

that makes them more valuable to you. So

13:02

if I'm you, I'm thinking about my personality. I'm thinking

13:05

about, man, how can I bring more of me? How

13:07

can I bring my true me? You know,

13:09

people, I had this, I

13:12

was just at an event two

13:14

weeks ago, and I got off stage and people were like,

13:16

man, I didn't know you was that funny. And

13:18

I was like, yeah, man, like people that know

13:20

me know me, they know I'm funny. Like they know I

13:22

like to joke around, I like to crack jokes all the

13:25

time. That's just who I am. He's like,

13:27

man, I didn't know that. He was like, man, I just,

13:29

I've seen you speak so many times, but I

13:31

haven't seen you speak in a while. It's like, you're getting more comfortable in

13:33

who you are. Yeah, it's a journey, I am. Truth

13:35

is, I am. The older I've gotten, the more I've

13:38

gotten more comfortable in who I am, the more

13:40

I start really giving a damn, excuse my French

13:43

about like, what people think about

13:45

me. And that's a part of like owning

13:47

your personality. That's a part of having that

13:49

it factor, right? The belief in yourself is

13:52

that it factor. So number one, personality,

13:55

cause I've been getting this question a lot, y'all, like

13:57

in my inbox, like Trent, I've

13:59

been. working so hard to podcast and I've

14:02

been content and I'm doing all I just

14:04

can't break through personality

14:06

okay number

14:08

two if you

14:10

want to increase the need of you you

14:13

have to be dependable right

14:15

people know that they can come to you and

14:17

they can get something from you if

14:20

I'm you I'm just obsessing

14:22

on my availability on my

14:25

dependability that's one of the things that I

14:27

felt was separating me when I

14:29

first started in this journey is that

14:31

I'm gonna be the most dependable person when

14:33

it comes to self-worth that was my that

14:35

was my my mantra when

14:38

I first started out with rehab time so I'm

14:40

gonna be the most dependable person so when people

14:42

come to my page they know what they're going

14:44

to get right they know that I mean

14:46

I need some self-worth Trent I could depend

14:49

on Trent my podcast I'm

14:51

not saying again that you have to do more quantity

14:53

wise but my podcast

14:55

I started out with once a week

14:57

every Wednesday you knew that there

14:59

was going to be an episode of straight up for the

15:01

most part right I might have dropped the ball a few

15:03

times here and there but for the most part you

15:06

could depend on a new episode of straight

15:08

up from Trent Shelton now fast forward almost

15:10

what four years later Monday

15:13

Wednesday and Friday I

15:16

increase my visibility I

15:19

increase my availability I

15:22

increase my dependability because

15:24

here's a little side note when

15:26

you become more dependent you

15:29

become more visible you

15:31

become more visible because you're seeing

15:33

more right people can

15:35

count on you more they know

15:37

you're gonna be there and

15:40

so if I'm you right now I'm checking on that

15:42

like how dependable am I you

15:44

know I say I want to be these things I want to

15:46

do these things and listen a lot of people say it's enough

15:48

room for everybody it is but it's crowded it's

15:50

crowded you have a lot of competition in this

15:52

space and the truth is you're in your own competition but there's a lot

15:55

of people trying to do what you do there's

15:57

a lot of people in your field what's gonna separate

15:59

you And

16:01

a big part of separation, yes, is personality,

16:03

but it's also dependability. It's

16:06

being able to show up and deliver and execute. You

16:09

got to be able to do that. You have to. If

16:12

you want to become more valuable, you got to know how to

16:14

execute on what you do. That

16:17

means working on your craft, mastering your craft, becoming

16:19

the best you at what you do. You

16:22

got to do that. And if you ain't doing that, then

16:24

you're playing games. If

16:27

you ain't doing it, don't complain about what you're getting. I'm just being

16:29

real with you right now. I love you

16:31

to death, but I got

16:33

to be real with you because somebody

16:35

like me, I work extremely hard.

16:38

I work extremely hard in a healthy way. Again,

16:40

I'm not working harder than I have to, but

16:42

when I'm working, I'm working extremely hard. And

16:46

making sure I'm dependable, making

16:49

sure I'm available for people that need

16:51

a message of self worth, that need

16:53

a message of encouragement. And the list

16:55

goes on. Somebody struggling

16:58

with protecting their peace. Who do they think about? Trent

17:00

Shelton, for sure. Because

17:03

I positioned myself through my

17:05

consistency and messages. How

17:09

I showed up with that day in and day

17:11

out. I wasn't

17:13

doing the hokey pokey. Put one foot in, put

17:15

one foot out. I wasn't doing it. Some of

17:17

y'all play hokey pokey with yourself, with

17:20

your dreams, with what you're doing. Okay, I'm going to

17:22

try one foot in. You can't do one foot out

17:24

and expect to be legendary at something. You can't. I'm

17:27

not going to try that right now. Here y'all got

17:29

me fired up. You cannot be legendary playing hokey pokey.

17:32

Right? You can't. You can't be legendary with

17:34

one foot in and one foot out. You playing games. And

17:38

then you want to complain about, well, nobody's paying me attention. You

17:42

got to really dive in and be more

17:44

available so you can be more visible, so

17:46

you can be more dependable, so you can

17:48

be needed more. And number

17:50

three, last but not least, and I hope

17:53

this is answering your question because if I'm

17:55

going to write these three things down, personality

17:57

matters, dependability matters, and last but

17:59

not least, shareability matters.

18:02

Okay, what I mean by shareability

18:04

is that people are sharing what

18:07

you do. I just asked

18:09

you at the beginning of this podcast, hey,

18:11

can you share this episode? And if

18:13

you believe this episode is a

18:15

value, you're going to share this

18:17

episode because I'm bringing

18:20

more value to you. Rehabtime

18:22

Groove, I'm gonna tell you right now. So let

18:24

me break this down. I might even talk about

18:26

rehab time. When I was a trainer, okay,

18:29

when I was a trainer, you know, I became

18:31

more valuable as a trainer. I became more needed

18:34

because I became more visible and I became more

18:36

visible. Oh

18:38

man, this is good. So

18:42

let me start here. Well,

18:45

let me, I'm gonna go here with it. I

18:47

became more visible when people

18:49

started to share me more. So

18:52

people came to my class, I

18:54

made sure that I brought enough value to them. When

18:57

number one, they felt they needed to come to my

18:59

class every week, even though they hated it because it

19:01

was torture in a positive way. We

19:03

would work out like it was the club, like

19:05

it was it was club fitness in that joint.

19:07

People loved it and they hated at the same

19:09

time. But they always showed

19:12

up because they felt that they needed it because

19:14

I brought so much value. I brought more value

19:16

than anybody in that company of how

19:18

I showed it with my personality or how

19:20

I connected with them, the language that I use, all

19:23

the things, my communication skills, my caring

19:25

skills, all the things. And

19:27

so what did they do? When they

19:29

left that class, it was so

19:31

valuable to them, they felt the honor

19:33

to be a part of it. And so

19:35

what did they do? They shared their experience. They

19:38

shared their experience. They said, man, listen, like

19:41

I took this class with this dude, just

19:44

a class. They felt, they felt

19:47

it was a privilege to be a

19:49

part of the environment that I created

19:51

for them. And so I

19:53

understood that like they went to go get my

19:55

cold market. We talk about marketing terms. You got

19:57

a warm market. That's the people that know you.

20:00

around you, the cold markets people you don't

20:02

know. They got my cold market for

20:04

me. I started seeing people drive from

20:06

Dallas to footwork to my class 45 minutes. Where you

20:08

from? I'm from Dallas. You drove all the way here?

20:10

Yeah. I saw such as this post it so I

20:12

had to show up. So

20:16

I became more shareable based upon my

20:19

personality, based upon my

20:21

dependability, how I was gonna show them they

20:23

knew what they were gonna get for me and it's the same

20:25

thing with even this podcast.

20:27

It's the same thing with my online

20:29

content. It was my shares

20:32

that changed my life. It was

20:35

people engaging with my content and saying

20:37

man this is so valuable. I want

20:40

to share it. I want to be the person that shares

20:42

it. I'll give you all a quick story real quick. Crazy

20:46

and I've told this before. I haven't

20:49

told it a long time. So this is

20:51

probably like 20 I don't know 19 17 20 17

20:53

something like that. When I was making

20:56

like those those videos where I was talking to people

20:58

was really my my niece. I mean I'm my niece

21:00

my sister-in-law. People thought yeah it was my sister-in-law. So

21:03

you know I was talking to a person across from the

21:05

table. One of them was Brenda who works for me. So

21:07

it's all people that I knew. But

21:10

those videos I think wrapped up like close

21:12

to a billion views in total right. Collectively

21:16

and people always ask like like

21:18

how did you do that and I told people it was people who

21:20

shared it. I don't know a billion people. It

21:23

was people who shared it. And I'm gonna

21:26

tell you what was wild. So I was

21:29

obsessing over like why are people sharing this

21:31

right. Or like how

21:34

quick are people sharing this. So I'll

21:36

never forget I created a video was

21:38

probably like say five minutes long. When

21:40

in the first 30 seconds it

21:42

had thousands of shares. So

21:45

at first I was kind of like I was kind of feeling like

21:47

hey bro you ain't watched the whole video you sharing it. And

21:50

what I did was I found a person that

21:52

shared it. And I hit him up I say

21:54

hey I appreciate the share but like watch

21:56

the whole story before you share it. And

21:59

that person would be back and say. Like

22:01

I'm gonna watch it but I already

22:04

know it's gonna be a value

22:07

and I want to be one of the first people to share your video

22:09

selfishly I want to be one of

22:11

the first people to share it and

22:14

it changed everything for me so

22:17

I said man I've been so

22:19

consistent with value I've been so

22:21

dependable that

22:23

people are sharing my stuff before

22:27

they even finish watching it and

22:31

so I realized like oh

22:33

so when you become

22:36

more dependable when people can really

22:38

count on you like they're

22:41

gonna go hard for you and they're gonna share it to the world

22:43

and what happened was I

22:45

grew that's probably my biggest year like

22:47

I grew millions of people to change everything

22:49

for me because what I

22:52

was doing was was

22:54

creating shareability I mean

22:57

people meaning that people wanted to tell the people about

22:59

me and so

23:01

in your

23:03

business and your content creation

23:06

in your training fitness whatever you're doing you

23:09

gotta ask yourself man like how can I

23:12

and this is questions you got to answer like I'm about to say an answer

23:14

this cuz you got to figure it out I want

23:16

you to dive deep I want you to take my word okay

23:18

Trent said do this I'm gonna do this now I want you

23:20

to figure it out I want you to really dive deep and

23:22

spend time on answering these questions because these can change your life

23:24

this is exact formula that I use to have

23:26

16 million people follow me on social media to this

23:29

day and

23:32

I'll just give you even another like

23:35

point about visibility and

23:39

when you're on something and people share you

23:41

become more visible and people think you know

23:43

people now see you as more

23:46

valuable and it's

23:48

just how the world works right you become more

23:50

visible oftentimes you become more valuable if

23:52

you're doing something of value right

23:56

and so I'll never

23:58

forget when I first got on the local news I

24:00

got on the local news, it

24:02

was like CW $33 for worth, and

24:05

I'll never forget that

24:07

once I did my interview and I got

24:09

on my Facebook, I've seen everybody's

24:12

like, man, Trent is really doing it. Man,

24:14

Trent is making a difference and making a change. You

24:16

know what's crazy? I was like, I'm not doing

24:18

nothing different. I've been doing

24:21

the same things. I'm just on TV. And

24:23

I'm not telling you to go get on TV. Like, that's

24:25

not the message. But it's

24:27

just the perception. People's

24:29

perception was, oh, Trent's really doing it. I've been doing

24:31

it. I kind of got offended. I'm like, I've been

24:33

doing this. I've been doing it. That's why I

24:35

actually got on the news because I've been doing it. Same

24:38

thing when I was just on The

24:41

Today Show. Right? People are like, oh

24:43

my gosh, Trent, you're really doing it. I'm so proud of you. And

24:46

I understand what they're saying, but the same, it was

24:48

just the visibility of me. On national TV, it's like,

24:51

oh, Trent's really doing it now. When

24:53

the truth is, I've been doing it. I'm

24:55

just on TV. Right? And

24:58

so I share that because I don't

25:01

want you to overthink. I don't want you to start going

25:03

to seek media outlets just

25:05

for that. Like earn it. I'm

25:07

going to tell you to earn it. Become so

25:10

valuable that they want you. You know what I mean?

25:12

Because that's when everything changes. Because if you're not valuable

25:14

and you just go on, and I'm not saying don't,

25:16

but I've seen it happen a lot. Somebody will just

25:18

go pay their way onto something and nothing changes in

25:20

their business and life because it's not real. They

25:23

pay their way onto it. Or they, you

25:25

know, whatever. But earn it.

25:28

Make them come to you. And

25:31

when you start doing things like that

25:34

and you start becoming more visible

25:36

to people, when you start

25:38

becoming more shareable, when you start becoming more

25:40

likable, and again, everybody's

25:42

not going to like you, but don't take it out

25:44

of context. When you start becoming more likable, when your

25:46

personality is great, you got a good aura and

25:49

you're starting to be more needed by

25:51

people. And people are

25:53

like, oh man, I need to listen to that

25:55

podcast. But I need to train with this person.

25:57

I mean, I need to go to that person's

25:59

retreat. may not need to be around them, may

26:01

not need to go get their book because

26:03

you have provided so much value day

26:06

in and day out. That's

26:08

how you become more valuable. It's

26:11

not rocket science, I promise you. But

26:14

you really have to work on

26:16

those things. For some of you, you

26:18

have tremendous value but your personality isn't

26:21

where it should be. You

26:23

don't know how to communicate. I'm gonna

26:25

tell you right now, come to my speaker retreat. We gonna change all

26:27

of that. You're not gonna communicate.

26:29

You don't know how to fully embrace who

26:31

you are. Maybe

26:33

that's the issue. Maybe

26:35

you're inconsistent, you're not dependable because

26:38

this is the thing, somebody told me this and it hit me

26:40

in my heart. He said, Trent, if you're not there, it's

26:43

like somebody coming to sell something at your house. They

26:45

gonna knock at your door. Just because you don't answer don't mean they go

26:47

home. They gonna go to the neighbors. He

26:50

said, when the opportunity knocks, I've said this,

26:52

when the opportunity knocks, if you don't answer, it don't

26:54

die. Just go to the next house. And

26:56

I realized, I'm like, oh snap. So if

26:59

I'm not available, and this

27:01

is some pressure in a sense, but I

27:03

love it. To me, it's healthy. It keeps

27:05

me consistent. But the reason I'm always

27:07

consistent is that, like of course I want you to

27:09

listen to other podcasts and go indulge in other people.

27:11

I'm like, I'm not that selfish. Like I'm not that

27:13

naive that you're not listening to other podcasts. But I

27:17

don't want you to go somewhere else because I'm not available.

27:20

You know what I mean? I don't want you

27:22

to go somewhere else. You're coming to something on my

27:24

page or my podcast. Oh,

27:27

trending to record nothing. So let me just go into somebody else. I

27:30

want to make sure I'm available for you. And so

27:32

for some of you, that's the issue.

27:34

Your personality is great, but you have

27:36

no availability. You have no dependability.

27:39

And so you're not visible. And

27:42

then last but not least, as

27:44

we recap, right? Some of you

27:46

might be dependable. You might have a good personality,

27:48

but what

27:50

you're doing is not shareable. Meaning that

27:53

you're not bringing enough value to the

27:55

experience of

27:57

your consumer or your client.

28:00

You're whatever you want to call the person your

28:02

mentee, you know, you're not bringing enough experience to

28:04

them to where they want to tell people about

28:06

it And i've always lived

28:08

by this if you get around me if

28:10

you Engage with anything

28:13

like i'm gonna i'm gonna make sure i bring enough

28:15

value that you tell people like man trend was dope

28:17

in real life You know trend

28:19

is dope trend is great and sometimes i'll

28:22

fall short because you know, you can't please

28:24

everybody but that's my mindset I

28:26

want to be so darn good that

28:28

you got to open your mouth and tell people about it Like

28:31

that's the value that I want to bring and

28:33

so I hope this answered

28:35

a lot of y'all's question If

28:38

i'm you i'm replaying this episode i'm writing down

28:40

notes and again i'm taking time to think about

28:43

those three things how can

28:45

I Increase

28:49

And embrace just who I really

28:51

am right? How can I be more in myself?

28:53

How can I level up my personality? Now

28:56

what is it about me? that can In

28:59

my personality that can help me be more valuable. Am I

29:01

funny and am I being funny? Am I

29:04

bringing that side out of me? Right? Do I

29:06

have style and swag swag is such an outdated

29:08

word Well, have I have do I have style

29:10

about not really being stylish because I

29:13

just don't want to but I really got that in me You know

29:15

me like Bring out that if factor

29:17

about you. I think we all got it in this we should

29:19

all pull it out in

29:23

Number two It's like just

29:25

to recap It's like, okay. Well, how

29:28

can I be? More

29:30

dependable more valuable. What does that look like? You

29:32

know what I mean? And stick to something stick

29:34

to a stick to a program stick to a routine

29:36

stick to something And commit

29:38

to it commit to it for at least five years Five

29:41

years. Yeah People tell me about

29:43

the time man. This is this is a long haul. This ain't

29:45

no short thing I tried it

29:48

for too much. It didn't work five

29:50

years Okay, at

29:52

least a year but five years is what it takes To

29:55

really break through in something And

29:57

then last but not least is just become more shareable

30:00

All right. I hope this episode helped a

30:02
