Today We Talk Empowerment To Help You, The Listener, Re-tool and Change Your Life:

After working to support his family as a struggling artist, Derek Stone chose to reevaluate his life and his way of thinking, and in three short years grew a small one-man show into a million-dollar company. This amazing transformation came about through a decision to forgive his father. Derek left

the path of blame and began traveling down a path of forgiveness which led him to start living his best life. He is now on a mission to help empower others to make the same transformation by helping them take charge of their own lives.

Quote: When you avoid conflict to keep the peace you start a war within. ~ Cheryl Richardson

For years Derek Stone had dreams of becoming a musician. This road didn’t lead him to success, however, it led him to Nashville, TN. Struggling to live as a starving artist with a family to feed, it was then he thought “there’s got to be a better way.” He went through an early life crisis, changing careers with the help of mentors and watching YouTube. He took his God-given talent of Creativity and transferred it from being something you hear to something that you can see. As it turned out, the construction industry was his road to success, the “better way” he had longed for. In three short years, he grew a small one-man show into a company with $1.2 million in gross revenue.

He credits his success to one decision as a senior in high school. He started looking back at his life to figure out what made him so different from his three siblings. The difference. . . he chose to forgive his dad and to take a different path than his parents. He blamed his dad for every bad thing he went through as a child: from being sexually abused and going hungry, to taking cold showers because the power got cut off. He was a bitter teenager and wanted a better life, so when the opportunity presented itself, he took it and chose forgiveness.

36 years since the beginning of his story and he is currently living his best life. He enjoys hunting, fishing, knife making, and hanging out with his family. He loves empowering people to re-tool and change their lives. He loves God, loves his family, and loves people.

Top 3 Hot Point Takeaways:

1. Understanding Resentment, Bitterness, and Anger.
2. Self-Realization on Family and Life Balance.
3. For whatever is your why choose to forgive.

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

10:45 – I would say the anger, which is derived from the bitterness, and once the anger matures, it becomes in bitterness, and then once those two mature, they become resentment.

20:45 – So we were at this conference and this dude, Dave Park, was talking about bitterness versus forgiveness. He said, some of you need to forgive a parent or a sibling or aunt or uncle or grandparent and my blood pressure started going and all of a sudden, all these memories started flooding back through my head, like a time-lapse video, and I started getting angry. Then this voice came to me man and said, Derek, I want to use you, but I can’t. Because you have this bitterness towards your dad.

31:00 – I had a conversation with my wife that was very, very humbling for me because my pride is always kind of my pride it always just like she really just doesn’t know. But she in fact did. I don’t know how she did. It’s like your parents when you’re a teenager, they always know you’re running around screwing around doing something. How do they know that?

42:00 – That is a valid point, you know, not to look down on it now. But I’m just saying, it wasn’t a necessity. I hated doing it. But I had to do what I had to do to get myself to a better place while I retooled, you know that’s what was going on. Then the moment I stopped, the unemployment went right into a job doing construction, grunt work stuff, and bad stuff.

50:00 – I guess where we are is where we are in life. You know, people do that look at us and say some of those things sometimes. I missed the whole first year and my first month of my second child’s life.

59:00 – Final Words Shown Below…

Our Final Words of the Show:

My wife wrote the last sentence in the book and it says “for whatever is your why choose to forgive.” I think that sometimes you have to search in your heart for your why, what it is that you do, or maybe it’s the why that you don’t want to pass on something to your kids, or you don’t want to pass stuff through to your wife. The people you love the most are next, they are the ones that are going to be hurt the most by your bitterness and your resentment. Yeah, for whatever is your why choose to forgive.

As a collective, the world is starting to raise its level of consciousness and become more aware of our egoic mind.

You have probably noticed your ego when you believe achieving a successful online business will help you reach more joy, freedom, or at some level, feel ‘enough’.

Tyson’s mission is to channel this heightened consciousness into the world of business. Tyson has coached hundreds of online business owners helping them transcend their patterns of fear, doubt, and frustration so they can build a more conscious business as an extension of their personal awakening.

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

10:45 – I grew up on a farm in Ohio and that’s where 50% of the time my mom taught me work ethic. It was working for my uncle, picking up, and clearing off his farmland. I cleared off the land for him and I gave him my invoice for 20 hours and he gave me $100. I’m like no he’s not very scalable out here, I’m never working for anybody else again including the wealthy you know entrepreneurial uncle I’m not doing it. I want profits which are way better than wages.

20:00 – I think if younger generations are hearing this right now, and they will be, and watching this, we’re not trying to criticize the parents here, the damage is already done. So if anything, there’s a statement I learned from a company years ago was one of our missions or value statements, “We’re all personally and collectively accountable for our results.” So the keyword there is accountability. How are we going to take accountability for what we’re going to do moving forward? Stop blaming the past, what are we moving forward?

30:00 – We live with turnkey technology, within 18 months things are obsolete, if not 12 months. Especially if you just talk about computer hardware in general. I just spent $1200 dollars on an iPhone 11 Pro. What’s up with that? $1200 dollars for a phone?! I just found that out at Christmas because I have a nine-year-old who told me that mine’s obsolete now.

45:00 – In reality we’ve taken all the costly mistakes, absorb them ourselves so that we’re shielding the investor, the end investor from those times of costly mistakes they get to buy when they buy into our system. They’re buying into all the knowledge and all the experience and all the mistakes that we’ve made over the last four years in this company. This is so they can buy a product that is third-party-inspected, twice, it’s gone through multiple checkpoints to ensure quality.

50:00 – There’s is still a risk. I mean, there are still tenants in these places, and they’re still human beings. There’s no way you can accurately predict all human behavior. So really what we’re doing is we’re in the business of minimizing, not eliminating but minimizing the amount of risk that an investor would have, no matter where they live.

57:00 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

Part 1: I’m just gonna use my, one of my favorite quotes is from Wayne Gretzky, a famous hockey player. You miss 100% of the shots that you don’t take. I’ve learned this from my business partner who’s very much probably more of a go-getter than I am. Just get out there and take your shot.

Part 2: My last 23 years in business have been defined with failing forward So all of the young demographics out there, you guys better be listening. You’re going to make big mistakes, you’re going to fail, you’re gonna up come up against things like you can’t figure out. Statements like I don’t know how to. You’re gonna just get resourceful you’re gonna figure it out, but be okay with failure, it’s only permanent if you accept it. So I don’t ever really accept it. You want to just make sure that the mistakes that you do make, don’t let them knock you out of the game. If they knock you out of the game, then it’s Game Over, right? If you can withstand it, it’s just gonna make you that much stronger.
