What is. What is outside of just, you know, verbatim positive mental attitude. I seen you wear that shirt a few times. So what is positive mental attitude? From your lens, what does it mean? Because it's more than just a positive mental attitude. I'm assuming it's some sort of like life mantra that you live and you breathe and whatnot. So what is it?

Bobby (Guest/Entrepreneur)
It's a very sensitive topic. So if you go back to the day of Pasquale's my first job, every time I went to Pasquales, it was so bright. Beautiful. The most beautiful day on earth. Sorry, someone's calling here. The most beautiful day on earth. But then when I went home, you remember all that passion, all those personalities I talked about Beautiful people, beautiful people. But when I went home, all the misery, all the furniture being picked up, all the fleas, all the stuff that a lot of families are struggling with. It was so negative. I came crashing down so bad to the point where you become depressed. But then when you go to work you're so positive. I had to really start adapting. When I had to go back to home, I had to be extremely positive because if not dude, I was up and down all around and I was growing. This momentum I was building was becoming a big problem. Positive mental attitude means consistency. I am like this all day, every day. This is no exact. I am not a clown on social media pretending here I don't get paid for this. I don't do. I'm truly doing this out of my heart. I'm in a good spot in life. I know there's Bobby's out there, there's so many Bobby's out there. But they're not willing to surrender that PMA all day, every day. If you keep it, you stay with it, it will reward you. But you have to be really willing to surrender to say and I'm a big thing about law of attraction manifest. I love the book the secret I tell young people. Some of them get it, some of them are not ready to get it. The power of what you attract comes from your attitude. It comes from the way you think. That is what the inbound is. What you're expecting is what you're. It's like a no brainer because I'm so good at it now. But in the beginning it was hard. But I didn't have another Bobby. There was no social media. If I seen another dude like Bobby, I would recognize him. I'll say for sure. I will listen to him. I'm only giving reminders. This is no strategy. Strategies get when you're. Then you hit a level in business when you're ready to pivot and scale. Not pre pivot but ready truly to pivot. That's strategies. But right now I believe the core of any success starts within you, man. It's all you. You are the best investment. You got to get your crap right. You have to a lot of people. I don't care. Bobby, I got $5 million to invest and I love private equity. I invest in entrepreneurs. Remember I said I invest in entrepreneurs. I don't invest in companies. I understand the importance. I am looking for the other Bobby. I am looking for this duplication. I found a few on social media. Probably maybe put three, four million dollars to work already. And the power. It all starts with you. I don't care if you have $10 million, you are going to fail or chances are you will fail if you're mentally not prepared. Dude.

Interviewer
See, I actually you mentioned the Secret and Law of Attraction and it comes up again and again. And it's something that for a long time I had a lot of trouble wrapping my head around personally. You know, my girlfriend is a big proponent of it. She speaks about manifestation, Law of Attraction. For a long time I was like, oh, that's, you know, that doesn't make any sense. But then I started to understand it more because I'm the kind of person that needs to understand something. So I actually had Joe Vitali on here. If you've watched the Secret, you know him and I had him on a couple episodes back. And at this point when I spoke to him, I'd already sort of understood a little bit more about the Law of Attraction. I tried to put it in very practical terms, people to understand so that they could understand. If you're pragmatic or you, you know, you're a little bit unaware of how it works, then like somebody like me who does a little bit more of a due diligence when they try and adopt a new concept that, you know, so the way that I understand it and the way that I, it makes sense to me and I want to always speak about this when we speak. A Law of Attraction is when you think about something that you want and you always think about it and you're always saying that you're going to get it. Every single action you take during your day is going to be, is going to be focused on that thing, even subconsciously. So it's not magic. It's not just happenstance. It's not, you know, higher level beings just magically saying, you asked for it. Here it is. It's you always opening up your mind. Like you said, you're open to receive. And it's you always taking these small little actions, small little steps focused on the right thing because you know that you can do it. And you're not going to take those steps if you don't think you can do it, because why would you. That's insanity. If you don't think you can do something, why would you take an action towards it? But if you believe that you can actually do something, everything you do, as crazy as it is, you'll do it because you're like, you know what? I think I can get there. And that's, you know, that's, that's the best way. I've always found it described. And that makes sense to me. I don't think there's a better way to describe it that you said.
- [06:52]
Bobby (Guest/Entrepreneur)
You said it beyond perfectly. Beyond perfectly. And what you just explained, you outlined. If people at least try it, it's boring. It's like at times you'll question yourself. I mean, what is this? Is this a freaking cult? Is this a religion? What have they got me doing here? You will become very productive, very efficient, because it's all about what you're manifesting. You said it perfectly. I've been on a lot of podcasts. You said it better than I can say it.
- [07:18]
Interviewer
No, no, man, not at all. Not at all.
- [07:20]
Bobby (Guest/Entrepreneur)
It's just awesome. And it works for me. I can't. You know, a lot of people that have tremendous success. I belong to an organization. It's about 800 members. The global personal net worth is over 80 billion. These people are far more successful than me. And guess what, man, I'm hearing the same stories over and over from beautiful people. When I say beautiful global success beyond financial rewards, they feel really good. Can you imagine being financially free and feeling good? Not because of the money. You just have this Hawaiian wave to you, man, that you're just. You're riding it.

Interviewer
Yeah, well, it's not. Money makes you. Money doesn't make you happy. Money just gives you opportunity.
- [10:15]
Bobby (Guest/Entrepreneur)
That's right.
- [10:15]
Interviewer
Now you can choose to whatever you want and if you have the opportunity, you can make the decisions to make you happy. Right? You can go on vacation whenever you want. You can live wherever you want. You can send your kids to whatever school you want. Those are options and opportunities. Money is just a facilitator. So I think that that's where people, you know, money's not, I always, I hate when people. Money is evil. Money. No, it's not. Money is, money is a tool. Money is a transaction. That's all it is. So you know, it's, it's very easy to get more if you, you don't already have it. You just got to open up yourself to try new things. I think the, the barrier to entry for, you know, you spoke about social media, about putting yourself out there, about side hustles. Like it's very easy to make extra money. I know people that now make like 6 figures plus easily on fiverr and all these things doing like freelance work. And that just started as okay, I have a couple extra hours on the weekend and then, you know, you do anything for five or 10 years, you're gonna see some results. If you keep it up for five or 10 years and that's a fraction of your life. Imagine just, you know, every, every, every business that I've seen successful, you see all these like small little family owned businesses now. Like, you know, they're all driving the Porsches and the Ferraris and Lamborghinis. They all have the $5 million home. They just hustled for 10 years. They didn't have business, you know, they didn't have, they didn't have a crazy business strategy. They didn't have all these resources. They probably started. They're probably, you know, not living in the best, most beautiful house. When they started the town, home, condo, apartment, whatever, and they just hustled. And then you did that for 10 years. And after 10 years, you're gonna get somewhere. You're gonna. There's no way you aren't, you know.

Bobby (Guest/Entrepreneur)
So, you know, the power of small wins. The compound effect is I like to use 120 months because young people don't like to hear 10 years. So just 120 months. It's like around the block. It's not that long.
- [12:03]
Interviewer
No, no. And now, and now even 10 years is a long time for somebody who puts in the effort. Like if, you know, I think that 10 years, I think you can, I think you can. I don't say fast track, but you can get some. I've been doing this. I've been doing this podcast. I don't even want to talk about me that much, but I'm just, It's all sort of like, I draw my own personal examples. I've been doing this podcast for about a year and a half and I've had yourself, I've had Guy Kawasaki, Anthony Scaramucci, Joe Vitale, Jack Canfield, Grant Cardone. I have about 10,000 downloads per podcast. That's been about a year and a bit of me just figuring out how to podcast. So that's it? Yeah. Maybe I took a couple extra hours on the weekend to learn how to set up a camera or to do this or that or whatever. But it's like, I'm not a podcast expert. Like I've never done this before. I just didn't stop. I think that's the attitude that, you know, you took with your, with your businesses. You just didn't stop. And then you found success eventually. It wasn't like you did it in the, like. Well, actually when you scaled, it was pretty quick. But the first part of your life was tough. And then once you started to figure out and once you started to make money, you realize now it's not so hard. Right?
- [13:13]
Bobby (Guest/Entrepreneur)
And that's where the non refundable minutes came into play.
- [13:16]
Interviewer
Let's talk about that.
- [13:17]
Bobby (Guest/Entrepreneur)
I want to know that, you know, I look back so many years because I'm 53, so I look back so many years, did I burn and invest my non refundable minutes the wrong way? It's like, oh my gosh, I Can never get them back. That's why I tell young people, if you can just pick up on this earlier instead of later, you know, forget about whatever my net worth is. It probably could have been a hundred times more if. But that's a power of social media. That's the power of good people with good hearts. By blowing up their heart to people with good intentions. No motives. I don't want no money from nobody, man. I don't get investors, I don't sell packages. I'm just this whack dude that's saying, Bobby, you could do this, man. You're all over the place. You could do this. You're burning your non refundable minutes. You're never gonna get them back.
- [14:09]
Interviewer
So what? So the concept of non refundable minutes, it's just as simple as it sounds. It's just if you, is there anything else outside of like, just like the fact that if you, if you waste your time, that's it, it's gone. Is there any other like, you know, ways to optimize or. Max.
- [14:23]
Bobby (Guest/Entrepreneur)
I mean there is a. There's a little sauce to it and pretty much anybody can see it, including a second grader. If you really invest your non refundable minutes, you have 24 hours. Imagine getting three days out of one day, but not work. I'm not talking about working all 24 hours. And people think, oh my God, you're just gonna be exhausted. No, no, you're not being efficient, you're not being productive. That is the power of non refundable minutes. So your minutes worth maybe 10 cents today. Imagine it one day worth $70. Or the Walmart family worth $70,000aminute. Every minute that goes by the Walmart family makes $70,000. Imagine the compound effect of paying attention to your non refundable minutes. Well, Bobby, it's not all about money. I agree, but money allows you resources. I am one that gives back. I love helping people. Especially they have very limited resources. We are so fortunate. We have so many resources. It's so easy to be successful in America. Well, that's easy for you, Bobby. No, no, if you're prepared. This was saying I didn't make it up. When preparation meets opportunity, magic happens. That's why it goes back to being self improved. You got to be prepared for opportunities. And the reason you're not seeing it, Bobby Castros, you're not prepared. They're everywhere. I see them all over.

I'm doing well financially, but I have this constant low level financial anxiety that I was missing something because I have crypto on all these different exchanges. I have multiple Investment accounts, old 401ks, savings scattered everywhere. See, I knew the pieces were fine, but I had no idea if the whole picture made sense. I finally got Monarch Money to pull everything into one view and the first thing I noticed, I had $10,000 sitting in a temporary savings account from eight months ago when I sold some stock. That's eight months, $10,000. It could have been working instead of just waiting for me to remember it existed. Also, it showed me that I was spending tons monthly on all these subscription services that I couldn't even remember I signed up for. Every Sunday morning it takes me five minutes to check everything. All my financial stuff in one place. No more wondering, no more anxiety. The Wall Street Journal just named it the best budgeting app of 2025. But honestly, it's more about finally having control. So don't let financial opportunity slip through the cracks.
