Thrive After Trauma
Ray Higdon: Let’s carry out our subsequent sufferer, I imply, pal, Lyle. So speak to me. So the place are you at proper now? What’s happening?
Lyle: That’s the million greenback query. I’m simply caught. I discovered all these nice issues from all of your coaches. I’m within the inside circle now and coach Jenny Hendrickson is my coach and.
Ray Higdon: Superior.
Lyle: And I really feel like I do know what I must do, however I simply can’t pull myself to get it executed. I imply, I’ve the time, I really feel like I do know, however I simply don’t get the every day stuff executed and I don’t transfer ahead. I don’t really feel like I’m impacting sufficient folks the way in which wish to.
Ray Higdon: What’s it that you really want? What are you hoping for? Who do you wish to change into? What does it that you just truly need?
Lyle: I’m 55 years previous now and I actually didn’t know what I needed to do actually up till only recently. However what I’d actually love to do is simply be at some extent in my life the place I can do issues for those that they might not be capable of do for themselves, as a result of I grew up in a great dwelling, however we didn’t have some huge cash. So we didn’t have a number of issues. So we have been all the time appeared like we have been struggling and that’s form of simply melded over into my complete life.
And so I wish to be at some extent the place if folks need assistance, whether or not it’s, we have now a number of issues [inaudible] do with mission, completely different missions with One Youngster Issues and issues like that in Haiti and completely different stuff like that. However on a scale like that or greater to do just like what you and Jess do, however within the completely different venues, as a result of we have now various things that really feel are vital to us clearly.
Ray Higdon: And why don’t you assume you’re doing the work?
Lyle: I actually don’t have a solution to that as a result of I’ve the time and I do know I must do it. I’m simply not getting it. I’m spending an excessive amount of time doing different issues with… I’m making an attempt to get in each membership home room with the ladies and all of the various things. I’m form of like that individual that you really want one thing then you definately see one thing a bit shinier and also you attempt to go test it out. After which for example, once I first acquired into community advertising once more, I did it, like Julie, I did it once I was youthful and did horrible at it. Acquired out of it for some time. Then I acquired in once more and I used to be doing okay and I acquired lots of people to take a position some huge cash after which the corporate folded and that didn’t really feel excellent to me. So I only for the final 20 years to place it out off my head till just lately once I had success with what I used to be doing personally, and other people began asking me questions and the way can they do what I’m doing. And so.
Ray Higdon: What do you imply you had success personally.
Lyle: Yeah. Personally with my journey as a result of I’m in well being and wellness. So from the place I used to be at to the place I acquired folks have been asking how I did that, folks round me and my household and associates and other people from the bagel store and stuff like that. So I had lots of people asking [crosstalk]
Ray Higdon: So that you misplaced weight, is that what you imply?
Lyle: Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Ray Higdon: Okay.
Lyle: Misplaced week and simply modified my entire physiology. I imply 180 from what I used to be personality-wise and every part.
Ray Higdon: So I simply wish to level one thing out. I imply, I can inform that it wasn’t your fault they misplaced their cash.
Lyle: I do know, however I really feel that manner.
Ray Higdon: Yeah. It wasn’t your fault. I had the precise scenario occur to me. I had an actual property meetup membership and we’d meet up and speak actual property and a man got here in and he was very charismatic, very easy. I invested with him, advised a number of different folks to take a position with him. I didn’t inform them make investments with him, however I stated, “Hey, I’m doing it, test it out if you need.” And plenty of of them invested and he was a criminal.
He took all of our cash. And for me, I used to be capable of bounce again. A number of of these folks actually, actually struggled. Now, it definitely made me gun shy. And I don’t assume I’ve ever raised cash once more, however I used to be capable of perceive the distinction between that state of affairs and enterprise itself. You serving to folks get began in a community advertising firm, which I assume that’s what you’re desirous to do proper now.
Lyle: Mm-hmm (affirmative). Yep.
Ray Higdon: Has nothing to do with them dropping their life financial savings. I imply, it’s actually tough in most firms so that you can put greater than 10 grand in merchandise in your storage anymore.
Lyle: Proper. Yeah.
Ray Higdon: And also you wouldn’t counsel that anyway.
Lyle: No.
Ray Higdon: And so so that you can attain, if we’re so frightened about inflicting doable hurt that we let that have an effect on every part else in our life. So we simply play so small, we are able to by no means trigger hurt then we simply don’t get to do the issues which are significant for us. However the factor is, you don’t ever must, I’m not saying return and lift that cash or one thing. You don’t ever have to do this for those who don’t wish to. I’ve a number of associates that come to me and, “Hey, man, assist me elevate some cash.” I simply form of select not to do this.
Lyle: Proper.
Ray Higdon: However that doesn’t imply I draw the identical conclusion to soak up any amount of cash or promoting somebody a product or suggesting a restaurant or something like that. They’re very completely different worlds to me. And however the large factor that you need to personal is that it’s not your fault. Did you’ve gotten cash with it?
Lyle: Not as a lot as they did. That’s the [crosstalk]
Ray Higdon: However you had cash with it…
Lyle: Yeah.
Ray Higdon: And it’s all relative, proper? It’s all relative. So I bear in mind… That is an odd story, however I’ll break it up somewhat bit, as a result of I discovered it humorous. So I bear in mind studying, earlier than it was a film, I learn Jordan Belfort’s books, the Wolf of Wall Road and Catching the Wolf of Wall Road. And he talked about how he was such a druggie that when he was within the UK, I believe it was within the UK. He had Quaaludes flown over and it was $20,000, however he was making 50 million a 12 months. So mathematically, that was like what Individuals spent on a pizza. And so cash is relative. There could have been folks that you just helped or folks that invested that had extra money than you.
Proper? However the factor is, you additionally believed in it, you additionally invested in it. And so that you didn’t hoodwink them, you didn’t rob them, you didn’t steal from them. Now, perhaps they accused you of that, which is unlucky. However I can inform simply by speaking to you, I can simply inform out of your coronary heart that you just didn’t imply that. That wasn’t you, that’s not your fault. And you actually need to personal that. As a result of if we don’t personal that, then you definately’re not going to have the ability to influence as many children as you wish to. You’re not going to have the ability to influence the vital issues for you, since you’re simply going to maintain so frightened about inflicting hurt that we simply by no means play to our potential. Does that make sense?
Lyle: Yep, it does.
Ray Higdon: It wasn’t your fault, man.
Lyle: I acquired to determine keep away from that, that’s the factor. Sorry for.
Ray Higdon: It’s all proper. However you simply acquired to study, you bought to forgive your self, man. And are you continue to involved with any of these guys that invested or are they mad at you, are they…
Lyle: Nope. I haven’t heard a phrase because it occurred from any of them. There’s in all probability two or three guys.
Ray Higdon: Have you ever reached out to them?
Lyle: No. No, I’ve not.
Ray Higdon: Okay. So I might attain out to them. And don’t be hooked on their response as a result of I don’t know your relationship or something, however I might attain out to them and simply say, “Hey, I’ve been…” Individually, proper? “Hey, I’ve been fascinated with you and I really feel so unhealthy over what occurred. All of us believed in that factor. It didn’t work out and I’ve simply felt actually unhealthy about it. And I apologize, I haven’t reached out sooner.” And also you say that, anybody with any form of compassion goes to let you know, “It’s okay, man.” And if somebody comes out but and so they’re imply to you, simply know that they’re going by some damage that isn’t your fault.
Lyle: I’ll attempt to discover them. It’s been a number of years. A variety of years. [inaudible] yeah.
Ray Higdon: And for those who can’t, in a silent meditation or prayer or no matter you wish to name it, simply form of take into consideration them and in your head, inform them you’re sorry. I might attempt to attain out to them, however I wouldn’t rent a detective or one thing. If those that I can’t discover or get ahold of, then I’m simply going to in my head I’m going to ship them an apology and ship them loving vitality. I favor, for instance, proper now I’ve a pal going by a most cancers therapy and it’s very completely different than this state of affairs, but it surely’s an instance of what I’m speaking about.
With yours, I might solely do it one time, however for me each morning I ship him therapeutic vitality. I simply take into consideration him and see him in higher form and see him feeling good and in good well being. And so I simply form of, I could not name him on a regular basis. I imply, I textual content them on a regular basis, however each morning I’m sending him vitality, ship him love and simply fascinated with him and blessing him, seeing him in excellent well being. And so it’s a highly effective course of so that you can begin feeling higher to do this. And so I might undoubtedly try this and simply know what you’re doing proper now has zero to do with that. And Hey, what if? As a result of right here’s the factor, proper? Do we all know when an organization goes to go down? By no means.
Lyle: No.
Ray Higdon: We by no means know. And so if we all the time run so timidly that it received’t damage if it goes down, then what are we doing? That is only a large waste of time. And so, I imply, I’ve seen a number of firms shut and that form of factor. The most effective factor you are able to do is be the perfect model of your self and lead folks in the perfect manner you could. And God forbid one thing occurs, then you definately’re going to steer them into the subsequent factor. You’re going to assist them out with the subsequent factor. And no matter that appears like, it might be one thing completely completely different who is aware of. However for you to not faucet into your greatness and your potential due to previous hurt, it’s similar to, we’re simply counting the times of this lifetime, “I’ll solely be round for a couple of extra many years after which no worries. I can’t damage anyone.”
Lyle: Good level.
Ray Higdon: Does that resonate with you? I really feel like that resonates with you.
Lyle: It does and it’s one hundred percent true. I simply must spend a while in prayer and thought and simply forgive myself and for that, you’re proper.
Ray Higdon: Yeah.
Lyle: Simply it’s a therapeutic course of and I’ve all the time simply form of, I’m a tough employee. You place me in a room with somebody and I’ll work and outwork anybody, however once I’m on my own, it’s a complete completely different story. I simply form of… I’m form of like Julie, I’m an over-thinker and I let too many issues spray my ideas out to no matter. And so yeah, it’s [crosstalk]
Ray Higdon: These are, I didn’t carry it up with Julie as a result of I wish to get her to a spot, however overthinking is simply bullshit distractions. Overthinking is how do I distract myself from turning into who I’m afraid of and who I’m afraid of is the larger model who has rather more energy, rather more affect, rather more influence, rather more energy. Proper? And I’ll look it up actual fast. As a result of I actually like this quote and I don’t wish to butcher it, which I are likely to do.
So Marianne Williamson, “Our deepest concern isn’t that we’re insufficient. Our deepest concern is that we’re highly effective past measure. It’s our mild, not our darkness that almost all frightens us.” I do know you understand that you’ve got superb potential inside you. You’ve gotten greatness inside you. You possibly can simply be impacting much more folks. And, but when we’re so frightened about previous hurt and presumably inflicting hurt, we’re simply not going to get there. And also you deserve that, man.
Lyle: I admire that. You’re proper. I do know you’re proper. I simply must, such as you stated, get proper with myself and…
Ray Higdon: Yeah.
Lyle: Then make it occur.
Ray Higdon: Yeah.
Lyle: I acquired all of the instruments.
Ray Higdon: Yeah. And so that you forgiving your self is de facto step certainly one of this. You forgiving your self after which for those who work higher in a bunch, which is what you’re speaking about to maneuver to that subsequent degree, proper? Then do what, I imply, we’ve taught this earlier than, do 15 minute recruiting blitzes with buddies, even when they’re cross-lined.
Lyle: Proper.
Ray Higdon: Even when they’re not even in your crew, simply get in there and hustle. And I needed to study, it took me some time to adapt of I’m used to being the toughest employee. After which once I left company America and I’m right here on my own, it took me some time to form of like faucet into that work ethic once more.
Lyle: Proper.
Ray Higdon: And so there have been a number of occasions the place I might combine, be part of a mastermind, be part of a bunch and get some manufacturing that manner. However, however I imply, I can simply inform, man, you’re a great dude. You might be.
Lyle: I prefer to assume so.
Ray Higdon: The world wants extra good dudes such as you. And so so that you can restrict your self whereas there’s blood pumping by your veins and you could possibly be impacting extra folks and serving to extra folks be good dudes, it’s simply, we don’t wish to see that, man. I wish to see you thriving.
