Summary

I had a guy reach out to me on Sunday morning in the DMs at 7:30 am.

He wanted to talk business.

That's cool.

I'm a busy guy and love business, but this guy was once in the Apex network I created.

He was in for a few years.

Over that time, he had access to me, just like most poeple that come into our network.

I've helped him with multiple things in life and business over the years and this particular morning when he reached out, I fired back at him asking why he wasn't asking the person he currently has as a mentor.

As I was drawing boundaries and pushing back on him, I reminded him of a time I offered to help him build out his AI platform for a nominal $5K. Well, he backdoored me and went straight to the source.

He didn't like that much when I presented facts and further asked why he wasn't talking to the guy he hired to mentor him.

The truth is, there aren't many in this space I'm in that would take the time to entertain his questions on a Sunday morning.

Let's just say he didn't like the boundaries I layed down for him.

When people don't respect you, or value your time, they won't respect or value your boundaries, either.

It's a huge red flag.

Pay attention.

0:04.0	and I'm here to rewire your mind for success.
0:07.0	You were put on this planet for success.
0:09.0	You were created to succeed,
0:11.0	but the force of average is after you every single day,
0:14.0	my brothers and sisters,
0:16.0	and this podcast is the one thing that's designed
0:19.0	to help you fight the force of average and excel in every area of your life.
0:23.2	We're glad that you're here.
0:24.9	So I got to tell this story.
0:27.2	It's Sunday morning, 7.30 in the morning, I get a text from a person that used to be in Apex at the highest level for a couple of years.
0:35.8	But last year, they left Apex and went and hired
0:38.9	another mentor, very popular person on the internet, which is totally fine. Shit happens. But
0:43.6	when a person leaves Apex, they don't have the connection to me anymore, right? It's a business
0:50.0	network. If you're not a part of the network, then I can't give you the value and the assets of the
0:54.8	network anymore because you chose to leave it, right? And so I say that because this person is fortunate
0:59.8	enough to have my phone number and text me some business shit 730 on a Sunday in the morning.
1:04.4	And which is fine. I'm a worker like that. But here's the thing. The last three times I tried to help this person since they
1:12.1	left last year. I tried to help them three times and they went around me to the source. One time
1:16.3	person hit me up, said, hey, how do I do this AI stuff? I said for five grand, I'll show you. They
1:20.4	went to the source and had them build it themselves for them. Fine. But you left Apex and then you went around me for the deal that I was going to cut for you.
