So with that introduction, welcome to the show, Mario.

Mario 00:00:58 Josh, thank you so much for having me on the show. I'm really excited, and I think you and I were going to have a powerful conversation filled with lots of value for your listeners.

Josh 00:01:07 One of those inner thoughts in my mind, when I'm having to make either a difficult decision or I have to slow down in order to like create an SOP or to hire a team member because, you know, that's that's the next step. That's what needs to happen. My frustration is I think that those should what are the things I know I should be doing? And it's more along the lines of, I should have a $100 million business. I look at all the other successful e-commerce businesses. I feel like I'm just as capable as they are, but I'm doing something wrong. I'm spending too much time on these little tasks and I'm making this a little decision, like, why am I not at that $100 million already? And what what would you say to that? Like, I feel like that's what's kind of like deep down. Like I have this vision of I love my potential, but I'm not there yet, right? And so I beat myself up.

Mario 00:02:07 Yeah. This is a classical one.

Mario 00:02:09 And again, I want to honor you for stepping one step further out. And I think a lot of your listeners will be will resonate with that because they look at where they are and then they tell themselves, I'm not where I'm supposed to be. There's so much inside of me that can be brought up. And, you know, it's true. There is so much more inside of you that can be brought out. But the reason it's not already out is because actually, you do not want the 100 million. Because if you have the 100 million, you know that there's something that's going to increase. Often in a mental perspective, the amount of problems will increase, right? That's why they say biggie made the song. More money, more problems, more responsibility, more, more being on your own because, you know, you climb the mountain even higher and so. Less people to relate to. If you're the 100 million guy, maybe in your family, you're the only one. And so nobody really, truly knows how Josh feels when Josh is by himself.

Mario 00:03:09 And so all of that is what I call a self-sabotaging mechanism, where you tell yourself consciously, yep, I want the $100 million business. But unconsciously you are scared of that. Because here's the thing what a self-sabotaging mechanism is. It's your conscious mind working against your unconscious mind. And if you've ever seen the picture of the iceberg where you know, you see the tiny peak above the water and the huge body underneath, your unconscious mind makes up about 95% of everything. So if you are like, yes, I want that $100 million business, your unconscious mind. No bro no no no no no, not gonna happen. That's way too much. So first of all, I would have you look at the reality of the way that you're showing up and divorce this idea that what you want is the $100 billion business. Because if your behavior shows the opposite, what you really want is you want to stay safe. You want to stay in control. You want to stay in your comfort zone. And there's nothing wrong with that.

Mario 00:04:12 That's the first realization that I would bring in. And then second is to look at what is it that's missing for you if you truly want to get to that $100 million level, there are certain needs that you have that are currently not being fulfilled. It might be more of a support system. It might be someone like a coach or a...
