Welcome Back to Another Men of Mindset Evening!

That’s right, this is Scott’s 4th Men of Mindset event at his home casa! Tonight we featured manly guests discussing various aspects of life, business, and personal growth. Scott introduced the theme, emphasizing the importance of mindset. Nick shared his transition from corporate to entrepreneurship, highlighting the need for male connections. Rob discussed the challenges of balancing work and family, while Andre focused on leadership and personal development. Brian emphasized the importance of time management and delegation. Dave recounted his journey from fitness to construction, underscoring the value of mentorship. The conversation concluded with reflections on success, happiness, and the significance of personal values. The discussion centered on the concept of financial freedom and its impact on personal and professional life. Scott shared his journey from corporate life to Wildland Firefighting, emphasizing the importance of time, location, and financial freedom. He highlighted his charity, Fuel Foundations, which he donates 5% of his income to. This was inspired by the book “Profit First” and the Cole Hatter events “Thrive Make Money Matter”. Brian also shared a story of donating $500 to a fellow Hurricane Helene volunteer, which led to significant impacts in North Carolina. The conversations also touched on the importance of resilience, problem-solving, and the value of entrepreneurial mindsets in achieving success. They also welcomed a new face, a lifelong entrepreneur, Dave Intini, who joined in on the fun with brisket, cigars, and manly growth conversations.

Timestamped Show Notes:

34:00 – Well, the gamble becomes, given your tolerance for risk, given your personality, like you said, the gamble became pretty clear. For one, my former career was mental health. So I was 20 years as a mental health therapist, master’s degree, and making $45,000 a year. That’s poverty, that’s a crime. Even if you make $250-500,000 a year, it doesn’t matter like when you’re in corporate and you have a title that goes along with it, at some point, you’re signing your soul away for you to make that money, you’re gonna have to work more. You have to do all those things. But as an entrepreneur, you can make infinite money without always having to work harder.

40:10 – Let me full serve that real quick. One thing I love about this is like you’ve given me a lot of props over the years since I met you over running chainsaws, volunteering, building mountain biking trails, and hearing those horror stories and just me telling you, like, bro, start easy. Just start listening to podcasts. Get into the audiobooks, start geeking out. That was just some of the earlier shit we discussed. But technically, what I loved full circle tonight was what you just said a few minutes ago, before the word vomit, is the fact that actually Dave’s one of your earlier mentors, before you met me.

64:50 – I’m the same person, but because I have more financial freedom, I can fix most problems and help build most dreams, most of which are for other people that I care about. Therefore, that’s when I say money matters.

73:00 – I worked for one person my whole life, my dad. I moved on, I went on, I kept going. I saw my own thing, but that’s the family, but again, the lightest, most laid back guy here. He taught me everything.

82:00 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

Congratulations to Arnoldo Moreno of Phoenix Crew 63, our newest Wildland Firefighter to receive a new pair of wildland firefighting boots. This is supported by Scott’s Boots Refuel Fund through his nonprofit, FUEL Foundations. Learn more and visit FUELFoundations.org/Boots

Final Words Timetamped:

01:04:30 – Rob’s Final Words: I said it before on your show, and it’s a rule I follow as well to help you stick to your goals or resolutions or whatever you want to title them for 2025 write them down, title it and then if you’re done writing it down, take the time to write a paragraph afterwards. Whatever the goal is, whatever you guys use, write it down, and then do something no one does after they write it down. If you wrote it down, you’re already 90% above everybody else. Take that last 10% and read it out loud. Then if you find yourself falling off or not sure why, just pull it back out. Don’t forget about it. The more you write, the more you can focus. People don’t write things out anymore. I’m not talking about typing it. Don’t type it and no, don’t put in your phone. Get a pen and a paper and write it down like you learned in elementary school.

01:06:20 – Final Words from Brian: I just bought a really good new journal. I’m a big journal guy and value writing things down. I was talking to my wife the other day because I got some lofty goals again for ’25, trying to get my life in check, as I always am doing. I need to come up with a journal that really encompasses. I don’t want a weight loss journal. I don’t want a diet journal. I don’t want a weightlifting journal. I don’t want a Business Journal. I want a journal that’s a lifestyle journal that really has bits and pieces. I’m not trying to lose weight. I’m not trying to build the mega business. I’m trying to do all of it. I want to create the total package and and I started doing some Googling and dicking around on Amazon and stuff, and found, I don’t remember the name of the damn company, but I found a very good journal that kind of does that for me. So I’ve already been sitting there writing down doing exactly what you’re talking about those things. Yeah, I got it. It’s all down.

01:10:20 – Final Words from Chris: All words are wise. Something that really resonated with me tonight was Brian mentioned it earlier. You know, driving your kids to school, spending that 15 minutes with them, that’s something that, I’ll be honest, it fucking annoys the shit out of me. Driving the kids to school sometimes, because it’s, I have enough going on and driving the kids to school, there’s five of them. It’s two different trips back and forth. But, you know, I kind of take that for granted, and those are times where you’re right, I’m never gonna fucking get them back.

Book: The Buddha And The Badass by Vishen Lakhiani

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

05:00 – I got a couple of buddies of mine that just get shit done. I move hard and fast. These guys are like 10x. That’s one of the things I look forward to and look for when I’m interacting with people. Looking at people, asking what are they doing, how are they operating, how are they getting it done? And what can I steal from them and implement into my life so I can make some of that reality for me.

15:30 – It also helps improve the positivity that comes into your own world. We all have a choice as far as what we can input into our brains, right? We choose what we can read, we choose what we watch on TV, if we watch TV at all. One of the big shifts for me, was actually making the conscious decision to turn things off like the news. Turn things off like the news and all of a sudden, my mindset is better. I’m not a grumpy fuck all the time.

24:00 – I’m reading this book right now, The Buddha And The Badass by Vishen Lakhiani, this guy owns a really successful company called Mind Body.

32:45 – 100% So I did it backwards. And I was just in the gym and didn’t hear anything else. Right? Sometimes not the smartest dude in the room. So I was 283 pounds. Got to work on me was 75 hard work. By the time I wrapped it up and was done. I was like, 250 pounds in like, looking lean.

44:45 – I have two wellness doctors that I deal with, one’s a chiro and one’s an actual MD. The MD is like I don’t really give a shit what those of my colleagues here think in the US. He actually trained a lot in Europe and everything that he’s told me, Europe is 10 years advanced of where we are at with most things. So I got both of these guys doing a bunch of things and they’re both high performance, former athletes who have become doctors and are hard charging very successful entrepreneurs. They are not just in medical practices, but a lot of other ventures that they’ve gone on with. They understand the game, they understand how entrepreneurs move and operate.

58:30 – Final Words Shown Below…

Our Final Words of the Show:

Every one of our social media posts that we finish on that small steps forward daily, like literally, that’s how I live my life. You know, a lot of people want to go back to baseball, for instance, right? So do people want to come to the plate and they want to smash that home run? Or get the Grand Slam and knock it out of the park? In reality, it happens every so often, but not so much. I’d rather go there and hit base base hits, right, hit a ground ball, and get on base every time.

Any of the big wins that I’ve had in my life have been a very gradual build up of small wins over a long period of time that then transition over. So yeah, this whole theory of oh wow, he’s an overnight success. Yeah, 22 – 23 years of hard work to become an overnight success.

00:30 – Introduction

10:00 – I do think this is different than several other countries right now and we are used to a standard of living probably above what we can actually afford. The tough part, Scott, as we know, is that since it’s been 10 years since we’ve had a recession, I think we have all gotten kind of complacent. As a society, we’ve gotten a little arrogant. It’s been pretty easy and we had a very smooth run.

20:00 – Even if you’re going in the wrong direction, maybe even some leadership in the wrong direction, at least we get some momentum and get people moving which is better than just sitting still and waiting.

31:00 – They’d send me an Excel spreadsheet, $35,000 worth of equipment, and I’d be like, look, I can get you $1,000. The guy would be like, let me call you back. He’d come back an hour later and be like, if you overnight a cashier’s check, it’s yours.

41:00 – The worst part Scott is that it wasn’t even all at once. It was a series of 12 loans for about $20,000 each. That’s how much I needed to make payroll every two weeks.

50:00 – For me, for my spouse, we have already spent a lot of time talking about what’s truly important to us. So we can go back to that, and we get some psychological safety from it. I’m not saying it’s perfect, you know, we still have our issues.

01:10:00 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

I think people are, are focusing more on this now. And are starting pay attention. I think people understand that we’re going to have an economic downturn. And so it’s time to start to figure out how you’re going to rock it, instead of getting rocked by it. Don’t be Don’t be like me, man. Don’t be like me and have to borrow a quarter of a million bucks from your mother in law.

From Bankruptcy to becoming the FAIL Coach

Scott Mulvaney — Thu, 30 Apr 2020 11:00:00 +0000

Have Your Learned To Succeed Through Failure? Today We Chat With The FAIL Coach Himself, Miha Matlievski:

One business coach has forged his approach to helping entrepreneurs and business executives by using a monumental personal failure and eventual redemption to help get others where they need to go to find their personal success and fulfillment.

At just 18 years old, Miha Matlievski, a Slovenian high school dropout, dreamed of becoming a successful entrepreneur. And he pursued it with a passion, putting in 12 years of hard work that resulted in four successful businesses and a personal net worth of $15M.

But in December 2009, an unexpected call from his bank, which had decided to foreclose on his real estate investments, brought his world crashing down around him. That one negative event instigated an avalanche of ruin for him and his businesses, resulting in his four, once-successful companies going bankrupt.

QUOTE: Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value. ~ Albert Einstein

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

10:00 – What you’re building is a cascading effect of negative results because you can only go so long that way and then you’re going to burn out. You’re going to reach a point where referring to your website, “I was literally ready to throw myself over the balcony”. I mean, that’s a pretty strong statement!

20:00 – The thing was, why all that happened to me, I was that crazy, winging it type of entrepreneur and not laying down any foundations. When I talk about those times, I always reference the Three Little Pigs story, and all my businesses were that first house made out of straws. When the first wind of crisis blew in, bam, it was a domino effect. Because of that, I went through depression, anxiety, darkness, suicide attempts, and so on. Until I had the aha moment and I was able to figure out that I had to take ownership of every mistake that I did in the past that led me to that failure. Then, I could start working on my personal goals and business development.

30:00 – What I see with my clients is often, I see bigger things for them than what they can see. But that’s because I was there where they weren’t yet. So it’s much easier to see and to set big goals, because, for me, eight figures, nine figures, etc, I was there. I know how to do that, I can do it again. That’s the difference.

40:00 – I was actually very stupid with my money, spending it like crazy because I could just keep making more at the time.

50:00 – You are that momentum builder and you must create a system that can then move forward. If it relies on you 24-7, 365 days a year, then that’s not scalable. You can’t create the momentum to create a movement that can go around the world. You can’t, you simply and physically can’t. So I’m not expecting me to be the one who saves the world from failure. I just want to help. More people are talking about failure, yes, but they’re still brushing it off too casually. This subject is very important.

53:00 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

I’m guessing a majority of your audience is entrepreneurs or future entrepreneurs. So I’ll say this, the number one thing that you need as an entrepreneur is a healthy relationship with failure. That’s one thing that you will be faced with a lot and you need to know how to deal with it. The second thing that’s super, super important, is that you must build a foundation, and always go back to the foundation when you want to go to the next step. It’s just like building a house. You start with a foundation, you don’t start with the second floor. Then when you say, oh, now I want to make my house larger, you can always go back and make sure that your foundation(s) are in place for that bigger house. This same point goes for your business. I know it’s boring, I know. It feels like oh, I don’t need this. It’s so, so, so important, especially if you want to have a sustainable, long-term, and profitable business.

Okay, if you just go from a seven to a nine, chances are, you are going to go from 50 grand to something approaching 100 grand, at least now you’re in a job, and you’re phoning it in, and your bosses like, Imagine if you’re nine out of 10, and all of a sudden, you come in, you go, Hey, I got this great idea for this thing.

048: Paying Yourself Profit First with Mike Michalowicz

Scott Mulvaney — Fri, 10 Feb 2017 17:45:00 +0000

Profit First Accounting and Paying Yourself:

This episode is about stepping out of your comfort zone and flipping your finances and accounting on its head. In business we have been following the same formula for generations, Sales-Expenses=Profit. This means profit comes last, which ultimately means you come last. It is time to flip that formula and enjoy your profit now with today’s co-host. Mike Michalowicz is the author of the book Profit First, a book that I have mentioned many times on LIVETHEFUEL. Mike has launched three multi-million dollar businesses and sold the second to a Fortune 500 company. Mike is also the author of three other great books, The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur, The Pumpkin Plan and the most resent Surge. This is a great episode for anyone who wants to have a little more financial freedom in their life/business.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

[spp-timestamp time=”03:45″] What book should I be reading now? The answer, what is your biggest challenge right now? You will then find the right book to read.
[spp-timestamp time=”05:23″] Where the book, Profit First came from. Mike had start a lot of different businesses and lost a lot of money. Building those companies was not profitable, he was surviving check by check. He sold two companies and one to a fortune 500 company. He thought this was the way to make money and became an angel investor to try and repeat the process but he lost money fast. This was the necessary wake up call he needed. The mentality of being profitable one day in the future is wrong. The classic accounting formula of Sales – Expenses = Profit, which means your profit comes last, is archaic.
[spp-timestamp time=”11:46″] Afraid of change. Mike has literally flipped the accounting formula and put Profit First. It’s the pay yourself first system for your business.
[spp-timestamp time=”15:07″] Parkinson’s Law: As the supply of the availability increases, our demand for it increases, but as it decreases we become more frugal, innovative and use less of it. Mike uses a cookie to describe Parkinson’s Law. When we force ourselves to use less money in our business our behavior changes.
[spp-timestamp time=”21:35″] “Money to brains ratio” and “Keeping up with the Jones’s”. The 401K. When you first adapt to Profit First, it can be painful to begin with. Very quickly, when you see those profits stacking up, it makes it all worth while.
[spp-timestamp time=”25:24″] Dividing up your income into different accounts.
[spp-timestamp time=”32:46″] If you don’t know what you are doing, get help. There is no shame in asking. Scott is visiting Profit First HQ.
[spp-timestamp time=”35:38″] Profit First Professionals: Experts that maximize companies profits permanently.
[spp-timestamp time=”37:01″] Profit First Professionals launched 2 years ago. Profit First Professionals came from people who had read the book but wanted help implementing it and someone to hold them accountable for it. Now they have 160+ bookkeepers and accountants supporting it.
[spp-timestamp time=”38:11″] 99% of Accountants that have come across Profit First have converted to the philosophy. The ones that don’t are the ones that are not willing to change the way they do things. Profit First accountants apply logic and overlay that with behaviors. A lot of accountants just can not make that leap.
[spp-timestamp time=”40:08″] Some people want to go all in when they read Profit First and set aside huge percentages but that’s like putting a frozen mug into a hot oven, eventually it will shatter. One of the important steps of Profit First is to take small steps.
[spp-timestamp time=”42:42″] Taking small incremental steps and relating accounting to the fitness world. Profit First is a Dial not a Switch.
[spp-timestamp time=”45:18″] Quarterly Distributions.
[spp-timestamp time=”47:02″] When the profit comes out, it is for you to experience financial freedom. This is not to be used to reinvest in your business, that’s a whole different envelope aka account. If you are putting it back into the business you are defeating the system. If you cannot pay your expenses, you cannot afford your expenses, so you have to find a better way.

Final Words

Mike’s life purpose is to eradicate Entrepreneurial poverty, that’s why he does what he does. It’s about stepping into the un-comfort zone. Progress is made when people do something new when something has impeded their progress, what impedes progress is doing what is familiar. Get comfortable with being uncomfortable. That is where growth is. That is where the opportunity is.
