Hello , friends , welcome . I

0:09

hope everybody is doing great . My

0:12

name is Dr Jason Wiggins and

0:14

I am your motivational Gen Z and

0:16

Millennial expert . Well , first

0:18

and foremost , it is great to be

0:20

here . I hope everybody is doing well , especially

0:22

after the holiday break . Hopefully

0:26

you were able to get some rest

0:28

and relaxation over maybe a three

0:30

or four , maybe five-day holiday

0:32

that you might have had . So , again , it's

0:34

great to be here , and

0:37

when it comes to this weekend , I just like to share a

0:39

little bit . I had a great time spending

0:42

time with my family over

0:44

in Yuma and my wife

0:46

and my son and my

0:48

mother-in-law . It was a great

0:51

time overall just to see

0:53

family and friends and be really thankful

0:56

for just

0:58

having a lifestyle

1:01

where you can call people

1:03

and call them your friends , call them your

1:05

family , and I'm really blessed

1:07

for that . I hope you were blessed as well

1:10

. Today we have an exciting

1:12

podcast . I mean this one

1:14

really resonated with me because

1:17

it's really the core , what

1:20

I'd like to talk about , how I

1:22

like to get people excited about new things

1:24

and really venturing outside

1:27

the scope of what you are normally

1:30

used to . And

1:32

the holidays are

1:34

not a time to stop

1:37

. The holidays are

1:39

not a time to go . I'm

1:41

on break for the next month . I'm

1:43

gonna coast through the holidays and

1:46

then I'm gonna start doing

1:48

what I want to do , starting January

1:50

1st with the New Year's

1:52

resolution . Well

1:54

, what is a New Year's resolution ? Simply

1:57

put , it is a resolution

1:59

. It is something you hope that will

2:01

happen , but the majority of

2:03

individuals that rely

2:06

on a New Year's resolution it

2:08

never comes to fruition

2:10

. Why ? Because

2:13

you don't give the max

2:15

amount of effort over

2:18

the amount of time needed to

2:20

complete what you want . Holidays

2:24

are a time when

2:27

it gives you an advantage , because

2:29

when sleeping dogs are lying , you're

2:32

working , you're making an impact

2:34

, you're developing and

2:37

repositioning your

2:39

current tools and foundation

2:42

. If you stop

2:44

during the holidays , the only

2:46

thing you're doing is

2:49

making sure the inevitable

2:51

happens . And what

2:53

is the inevitable Failure

2:56

? Failure is

2:58

when you don't put the effort

3:01

that Gen Z and Millennials need

3:03

to get ahead . And

3:05

if you want to get ahead , it's your opportunity

3:08

to strive and

3:10

open up that box that

3:12

allows you to flourish

3:14

. Holidays are a

3:16

simple time , when

3:18

it allows you to take one step

3:21

above your competition . What is

3:23

your competition ? It could be a business , it

3:25

could be a career , it could be repositioning

3:28

yourself . Whatever the effort

3:30

you're going to put in

3:32

. It's going to prepare

3:35

you for the opportunities

3:38

ahead . The opportunities

3:41

are what's going

3:43

to give you from

3:45

what you put into it for your

3:47

maximum amount of effort

3:50

. I can tell you from experience

3:52

. I've seen and

3:55

experienced so many different

3:57

individuals stating I want

4:00

to do this , I wish

4:02

I could do this . I

4:04

hope that one

4:06

day I can do this . Hopes

4:09

and dreams never

4:13

come to fruition without

4:16

the effort

4:18

, the perseverance

4:21

, the maximizing

4:25

your tools , your

4:27

resources . And

4:30

that lends me to

4:32

my second important

4:35

part of ensuring

4:37

that you're successful during

4:40

the holidays . One , the holiday

4:42

is not the time to stop . Two

4:45

, what you

4:47

do now will help

4:49

you reap the rewards in

4:52

the future . And what does that mean

4:54

? It means

4:56

that whatever

4:58

you're doing today , if you're

5:01

researching about the opportunity or

5:03

you're planning over the opportunity or

5:06

you're actually implementing phases

5:08

of the opportunity , then

5:11

you can see

5:13

the full circle of

5:16

what you desire through

5:18

the effort that you put in each

5:20

step . And then

5:22

it's like any business

5:24

or any change organization

5:27

once you plan

5:29

, implement and

5:32

then see it through tradition

5:34

, then you monitor . How

5:36

is it going ? Are you

5:38

maximizing your

5:41

overall well-being

5:43

and career-oriented

5:45

goals ? And

5:48

that is why you

5:50

have to put in the

5:52

work . Nobody

5:55

. Nobody

5:58

is going to hand you something

6:00

, and that's the thing about being Gen

6:02

Z or Millennials we

6:04

understand that nobody's

6:07

going to offer you , but what people

6:09

can do is set

6:11

you up for success . They

6:14

can help you with the tools

6:16

that you need brushing up on

6:18

the skills , being mentors

6:20

, being part of

6:23

your foundation for success and

6:25

what is that really called ? That's

6:28

the number three networking . Networking

6:32

is one , if not

6:34

the strongest

6:37

tool that

6:39

can help you align

6:41

your goals , your

6:43

opportunities , with

6:45

what others can

6:47

provide in those

6:49

opportunities , and that is networking

6:52

. You can network at local

6:54

events , network at charities

6:57

, business , commerce , meetings

6:59

within your local area . Linkedin

7:02

LinkedIn is a huge

7:04

network and what you want

7:06

to do on LinkedIn is build your network , build

7:09

your followers , continue

7:11

to invite people to connect with you

7:13

. There was a point in time where all

7:15

I would do was invite , invite . I'd be on

7:17

my walks and I would just continue

7:20

to connect , connect , connect with

7:22

many people as I knew . Did I know

7:24

them ? No , but they all

7:26

offer a history

7:29

, a foundation At

7:31

some point in time . We

7:33

never know how . Maybe

7:36

they could share a thought that we had , or

7:38

share something that we're interested in , or

7:41

if we need others to

7:43

network with , then they

7:45

may provide that opportunity when

7:48

we just don't know about it . And

7:51

that's why the networking

7:53

is so vital

7:55

for our success , for

7:58

your success , to build

8:00

on moving forward . Remember

8:04

, only

8:07

you has

8:10

the ultimate power to

8:13

appreciate , to

8:16

facilitate , to

8:18

implement your

8:21

tools , your experiences

8:23

and your career goals

8:26

. To ensure that

8:29

you are networking , you're

8:31

getting your name out , whatever

8:33

that may be . If you're into

8:36

something that is really you're passionate

8:38

about and there is somebody else that

8:40

shares that same passion

8:42

, then

8:44

they are able to

8:46

provide the opportunity

8:49

, the connection

8:51

and really bridge

8:53

the gap where you may

8:56

not have that knowledge

8:59

or you may not have that direct connection

9:01

, but they can align your goals

9:03

, your passion with somebody

9:06

that can help and in return

9:08

, you may be helping them . And

9:11

that's why networking is

9:13

one of the core ways to

9:16

find new career opportunities

9:18

, because people want

9:21

to know that you've

9:24

done something and by

9:26

you connecting with somebody else that they know , they're

9:28

able to get the feedback and obtain that

9:31

feedback and

9:33

say they did a great job at this , they were vital

9:35

in turning this around , they were

9:38

a great component of what

9:40

we did here at XYZ company

9:42

. Therefore , the opportunities

9:45

through networking are

9:47

abundant . So

9:50

I want to recap what we've talked about thus

9:52

far . Holidays are

9:55

not the time to stop . Holidays

9:57

are the time to pick up the momentum . Pick

10:00

up your working

10:02

towards what you want and

10:04

really maximizing your

10:07

results . It's the preparation

10:10

that you do today

10:12

will reap the rewards

10:14

for tomorrow . Number

10:17

two is review

10:20

others' work

10:22

, meaning through networking

10:24

. Networking allows

10:26

you to see

10:29

what others are doing . How are

10:31

they successful ? How are they failing ? What

10:33

are some of the gaps that

10:35

they're providing ? What looks good

10:37

to you ? What doesn't ? Utilize

10:40

that in your day-to-day

10:42

observations to help you

10:44

get better . Remember

10:46

, we are all flawed . Why

10:48

? Because we're humans . Humans are

10:51

a flawed species and that's

10:53

okay , because , as

10:55

long as you learn from

10:58

your mishaps , your

11:00

mistakes , I

11:02

cannot begin to tell you

11:04

all the mistakes

11:06

that I've made , all the flawed

11:09

observations that I've made , the

11:11

connections that I've made in

11:13

my past may not have always been the best

11:16

, but I always tried

11:18

to surround myself with

11:21

people that share

11:24

the same passion as me . That

11:26

made me a better person , and

11:29

that's what leads me to the next step

11:31

is surrounding

11:34

yourself with great

11:37

people , people that are going

11:39

to push your agenda , exploit

11:41

your passions and make

11:44

you an all-around

11:47

better person . I

11:50

talked about it just a second ago . We are

11:52

all flawed , we

11:55

are all failures

11:58

throughout our lives , but

12:00

the only true failure

12:02

is the one

12:05

that stops trying . And

12:07

when you stop trying , then

12:10

, and only then , do

12:12

you start surrounding yourself with

12:15

people that will feed off

12:17

your failing . Why ? Because

12:19

they continue to fail and want nothing

12:22

more than you to fail

12:24

with them , to make them feel good

12:26

, because they feel

12:28

good when you fail

12:31

. And that's not a

12:33

true friend , that is not

12:35

a somebody you want in

12:38

your corner and that's not

12:40

somebody you want pushing you . And

12:42

you see it a lot . When people

12:45

have people that

12:47

follow them on tarajas that

12:49

all they are is blood

12:51

sucking . All they want is

12:53

the resources that that person has . And

12:56

when those resources dry up , those

12:58

people all disappear . They're

13:00

like leeches . They gravitate

13:03

on you , they position themselves

13:05

and they take the

13:07

life out of you . If you

13:09

have people that are doing that in

13:12

your life , they're stopping

13:14

you from gaining the

13:16

tools , the resources , the

13:18

traction that's going to provide

13:21

you the success that

13:23

you desire . Then it's time

13:25

to find those people and say

13:28

thank you for

13:30

nothing I'm going to

13:32

have to move on without

13:35

you . Why ? Because you're not

13:37

doing anything good for

13:39

me , for my career , for

13:42

my passion and for what I

13:44

strive for . Don't let

13:47

those people take you

13:50

down . They will

13:52

. They will take you down

13:54

and they will laugh as

13:56

they do it . Therefore

13:59

, remember

14:01

to review

14:03

other people's work , review their

14:06

failures , review what they've done

14:08

well , and then

14:10

ensure that you surround

14:12

yourself with

14:14

the people that are going to raise you

14:17

up . They're going to make you great

14:19

, because greatness

14:22

is in the eyes of

14:24

the beholder , and that beholder

14:26

is you , and

14:28

so the one thing I like to talk

14:31

about is , besides developing a good network

14:33

, is Do

14:35

not be afraid to

14:37

promote yourself . Promote

14:40

is not the same as bragging

14:42

. Bragging is where you

14:45

want people to be envious of you . Promoting

14:48

is not about making people

14:50

envious . Promoting is about

14:53

demonstrating some

14:56

of the career , accolades

14:58

or things that you're

15:00

currently doing to promote your

15:02

business , to promote your brand

15:05

, to market what

15:07

you strive for . Are you developing

15:09

a new business ? Are you developing a trade

15:11

? Are you promoting yourself

15:14

? Are you doing the things that

15:16

are going to improve

15:19

certain aspects of your

15:21

life ? And promotion

15:23

, self-promotion , organization

15:26

promotion . Everywhere

15:29

you look , everybody

15:32

, every organization

15:34

, is promoting their brand , promoting

15:36

their business , promoting how

15:39

they do things for the environment

15:41

, how they help others . I

15:44

worked for an organization that I

15:47

don't think they really . I

15:50

don't want to say they didn't care , but

15:52

I think they did things just because

15:54

they wanted to promote the organization

15:57

but not what the organization

15:59

was doing for the

16:01

outside charitable groups . And

16:04

so you want to make sure that

16:07

when you promote yourself or your organization

16:10

, you are genuine in

16:12

promoting your organization , you

16:14

really want what

16:16

you've done to be promoted

16:18

because of the good things you have

16:21

done and how they circulated

16:23

around that charitable donation

16:25

or organization , but not

16:27

seem like you're just doing

16:29

it to self-promote . Hey

16:31

, look what I did

16:33

to help this organization

16:36

. Because to be

16:38

quite serious about that

16:40

is people know , people know

16:43

if you really are trying

16:45

to help another organization or

16:48

you're just trying to brag

16:50

and promote

16:52

the organization that you

16:54

oversee . Don't be

16:56

afraid to self-promote . If

16:59

you're promoting a book , you're promoting a podcast

17:01

, you're promoting a YouTube , you're promoting

17:03

your business , you're promoting your brand

17:05

. Whatever you may be doing

17:07

, do it with the best intentions

17:10

that really speak

17:13

to others . And how

17:15

do you speak to others ? You

17:17

speak to them by how can I help

17:19

you , how can

17:22

I be a resource

17:25

to better your life , to

17:27

better your network , to

17:29

better your organization , your

17:32

business , because so many businesses

17:34

, so many individuals want to promote

17:36

just about what I want

17:39

. This is what I want . I

17:41

want your business , I want

17:43

your money , I want the sale

17:45

from your company . I can help

17:47

you if you give me this . I

17:50

understand that is capitalism

17:52

. Capitalism is

17:54

about always striving

17:56

to gain from others . I

17:59

completely understand that and

18:01

I have been guilty of that as well

18:03

. But the way you

18:05

can circumvent that is

18:07

by demonstrating the value

18:10

that you promote is

18:12

going to help somebody . It's

18:15

going to help an organization . How

18:17

are you going to do that ? What kind of

18:19

free tools can you provide in

18:21

advance that maybe , if

18:23

they like what they see , they

18:26

may come and

18:28

subscribe to your business , subscribe

18:30

to what you're selling , and that

18:33

promotion will then be

18:35

working to your advantage . But

18:37

don't be self-serving first

18:39

. When you're self-serving , what

18:41

that means is you don't

18:44

care about somebody

18:47

else . All you care about I

18:49

want your business . The most successful

18:52

salespeople out there are

18:54

those that are striving to help

18:56

. And how do you do that ? They

18:59

educate the customer . They

19:02

talk about the benefits , the

19:04

analysis , what this can do

19:06

, but they don't push the sale . They

19:08

say when or if you are

19:10

ready , I am here

19:13

to help . Sure , do they

19:15

want to sell ? Absolutely A lot

19:17

of time . It's based on commission , it's

19:19

based on quotas

19:22

and it's usually

19:24

based on their job

19:26

. If they don't produce what

19:29

is needed , then they typically lose their job

19:31

. But if you're in desperation mode

19:33

, if you're promotion , if you're promoting , then

19:36

it will come out at the end

19:38

. That is why be

19:40

directive of helping others

19:42

, and that's my goal this podcast

19:45

is does not generate any revenue

19:47

unless you want

19:49

to donate and help out , which is always

19:51

appreciated to help further

19:54

the content . But right

19:56

now , as it stands now , I

19:58

do not generate any sort

20:00

of money from this

20:02

podcast . And that is OK

20:04

, because why my sole

20:07

purpose of this podcast is

20:09

to educate is to help

20:11

. It is to motivate . If I

20:13

can motivate one Gen

20:16

Z and millennial to

20:18

get up , get out there

20:20

and do what

20:23

you can strive for , because of

20:25

giving you just a slight little push

20:28

, then if

20:30

you become successful or you reach

20:32

the pinnacle of what you want and you've

20:35

listened to my podcast and

20:37

that helps you then that

20:39

right there is

20:42

what I consider a success . If

20:44

it's one person , one

20:46

person that I'm able to reach

20:48

out there , then

20:50

I couldn't be happier and

20:53

that means this podcast

20:55

was a complete success

20:57

. Today's podcast

21:00

is about unleashing the

21:03

new you , and

21:05

part of the process and steps that we've talked

21:07

about today was don't

21:09

stop during the holidays . This

21:12

is a time to maximize your resources

21:14

and continue to strive

21:16

for excellence . And

21:19

the second part of that is the

21:22

work that you do today will

21:24

provide and pay you the dividends

21:27

in the near future because

21:29

of all your hard work . No good

21:31

deed goes unpunished . What does that mean

21:33

? The unpunished can also

21:35

mean rewarded and

21:38

review the works

21:40

of others and see their failures

21:43

. Surround people that

21:46

you know are going to be good for you

21:48

. Remove

21:50

and disregard the leeches

21:52

that are taking

21:54

away your lifeline . To be successful

21:56

, don't

21:58

be afraid to network . Networking

22:01

will help Well , not hinder

22:03

. It will help push . Whatever

22:06

you're selling , your business

22:08

, your branding , your promotion , whatever

22:10

it may be , your network , if

22:12

it comes across the right way , can

22:15

help advance that . And

22:17

then don't be afraid

22:19

to promote yourself . You

22:21

are your biggest champion , your biggest

22:23

fan , and that

22:26

right there alone will help

22:28

you if you really have good intentions

22:30

to get the best out of yourself

22:32

, to get the best out of others and you

22:34

really are looking towards helping

22:37

others . And finally , today

22:40

I want to talk about embracing

22:42

those opportunities . What does embracing

22:45

those opportunities mean . It

22:48

means exploiting

22:51

. When you have

22:53

a chance to get what

22:55

you desire through maximum

22:57

effort , people will provide

22:59

you those opportunities . The doors

23:02

will open , but be cognitive

23:04

. Not every door that opens is

23:06

a great door . You may have people

23:09

come to you about certain jobs , certain

23:11

investments . It doesn't

23:13

mean it's the right opportunity

23:16

today , but nobody

23:19

will just hand you anything

23:21

. You need to do the legwork

23:23

, and when you do the legwork

23:25

, doors will begin to

23:28

open . And when they open

23:30

, it's important to review

23:32

the opportunity , see how

23:34

it's going to help you as

23:37

a business , as a self-promoter

23:40

, as a way of

23:42

helping you maximize

23:45

your potential . We

23:47

are our biggest fan . We should be our

23:49

biggest fan , not in a boasting

23:51

, bragging type of way , but in a promotional

23:54

way that says , hey , this

23:57

is what I've done , these are the resources

24:00

that I have , these are the tools that I've

24:02

maximized , this is how I continue

24:04

to improve myself and this is

24:06

what I can do for your organization

24:08

, for your company , for

24:12

you as an individual . This is how

24:14

I can help and this is what we're going to

24:16

do to maximize your strengths

24:18

as an organization and

24:20

do the things that we need to do . So

24:22

today , I really am

24:25

excited about today's podcast because

24:28

it really it really talked about a lot

24:30

of different things , but it talked

24:32

about exploiting the opportunities

24:35

that you can unleash

24:37

in the new you . The

24:39

power of an individual

24:41

cannot go unnoticed

24:43

when you are willing

24:45

to sacrifice for

24:48

those career opportunities

24:50

, for those ability to really

24:53

, you know , make the most of something

24:55

that's spectacular . I mean

24:57

, I'm still learning , I'm still trying

24:59

to maximize the resources , but

25:02

maximizing those resources starts

25:04

with you

25:06

, you and you only

25:08

25:11

25:13
