and welcome to another episode of crazy fitness guy healthy living podcast
0:57
slash week of motivation with Crazy Fitness Guy. Yes, it has been two weeks, and I was on vacation
1:03
And don't judge. The reason I've been on vacation for two weeks is because I wear seven different hats
1:11
and because I'm the only person behind my brand. And I do not – and I just need to have a – I had to take a two-week break
1:22
because I'm back to college. hmm well before i introduce you to my guest today uh he forgot to uh to invite me to uh disneyland
1:33
uh and uh yeah he forgot he forgot to uh invite me and because you know you would think because
1:43
he's going to be on my upcoming show today he would say hey i should go invite jimmy clare along
1:49
and that would be awesome, but nah, he decided to ditch me
1:53
I appreciate it. Yeah, trust me, I was giving him a buttload of crap on the back end
2:00
But you know me, I'd like to joke. Or was it a joke
2:05
We shall find out. But anyway, let me introduce the guest a little bit
2:11
He's the founder or co-founder of Extraordinary Bee Movement. He has a podcast called The Extraordinary Being Movement, and he just came out with his new book, 1% More
2:28
Let's welcome Len DeCarmine out. Hey, Len. Hey, Jimmy! Good to see you again, my friend
2:40
Same. It's only been like, what, just a minute and a half
2:44
I know it has been a minute and a half But I think it's been about a year now
2:49
Since you've been on my show when we interviewed you Yeah and you were on my
2:53
You were also on another Episode of mine but Correct In the works
2:59
Hey I promised I would publish it It was a Zoom interview Before
3:04
I even got to the live streaming I'm going down the list come on
3:10
It's only my Jimmy I'm going to give you forgiveness because, you know, I didn't invite you to Disney
3:18
So, you know, I'll give you forgiveness. You give me forgiveness. But, you know, maybe next time
3:25
Maybe next time. I'm just kidding. I'm going to hold you to it, though
3:31
All right, Jim. Sounds good. So what's going on? What are we going to be diving into today
3:38
Well, we're going to be discussing your new book. Awesome. So before we get started, I'd like to ask my guests this
3:45
Can you tell the people a little bit about who you are, what you do, how you got started, and why did you get started
3:54
That's a great question to get right into there, Jimmy. My name is, once again, Len DeCarmine
4:00
I am a coach. My three friends and I got into what we call now our movement called the Extraordinary Bean Movement
4:11
we started out just doing a podcast show on dating and relationships
4:18
And from there, we started, how else can we expand what we're doing
4:23
And we developed it into a global movement called the Extraordinary Being Movement
4:28
where we interview people all over the world to talk to them about their successes
4:32
their failures, and for them to offer tips and strategies that they can help people be able to elevate their lives
4:40
because we all believe at the Extraordinary Being Movement that everybody has a gift
4:45
But a lot of people don't know how to really develop their gifts. Some people have forgotten what their gift is
4:50
So we want to help you pull that back out of you so you can share it
4:55
not only with yourself but also with the world. And that's how my friends and I got started developing the Extraordinary Being Movement as a podcast
5:04
That's where we started first. And then we've kind of branched out into developing it into a full-service personal development company where all three of us are coaches
5:13
We specialize in NLP, which is neuro-linguistic programming. And we also have other backgrounds
5:21
For myself, personally, I'm also trained in mindfulness, cognitive behavior therapy. I've worked with the Napoleon Hill Foundation and gone through their programs
5:30
I've worked with another organization called Landmark. So I have a very diverse background in my coaching and my skill sets to help people elevate their lives
5:41
And currently I specialize in relationship coaching. I'm a men's coach, helping, empowering men to have a better relationship, not only with their partner, but also with themselves
5:51
Because it starts with you first. And you need to learn how to grow and develop yourself first so that you can help other people and serve the world
6:01
I like that. and it's amazing how many things you are well diverse in because I think you like literally
6:12
outdone yourself and you make me look bad. Jimmy, I'm an education freak. I like to
6:21
just call it that way. I probably have more trainings and certifications
6:25
that I even know what to do with. Some I use, some I don't use anymore
6:29
Or I'm just a person who is always in action. And I believe growth is essential for your personal development
6:38
And that's why I constantly love to read books and take courses and do whatever I can to
6:44
continuing my growth so that I can also serve my clients. Because a lot of people don't have time to do what I do
6:51
And that's why they seek out coaching for somebody who has done the training, done the
6:55
work, has the experience in order to help them move forward in their lives and give them a path
7:01
to do it. Well, I definitely appreciate what you have gone through. I like to read a lot of books
7:12
Speaking of which, I actually just started reading your book just a few days ago. And if no one
7:19
believes me, I'll take a screenshot right after this just to prove to everyone I've been reading
7:23
it I haven gotten very far yet I mean I got to I almost finished the first chapter I mean I have really great impeccable timing with everything I wanted to start last week
7:40
but I was starting to read my other book on facial expressions
7:48
That's great. and so but then and then I took a look at the calendar
7:53
and it's like, Len's coming out next Friday crap, I gotta get his book and so that's what happened
7:59
No problem Did you get the Kindle version or a soft copy
8:04
I got the Kindle version only because I don't in my new house
8:10
my room is very small I can't even fit my big bookcase
8:14
it's all the way in the guest room next door to me Sure
8:17
So basically the only thing that fits in my room is my big L-shaped desk and my bed
8:26
That's it. That's it right now. Got it. Got it. And plus all my other books are in storage at the moment
8:34
Sure. I'm still trying to get that back too. Well, Jimmy, I appreciate you buying a copy
8:40
Thank you very much. And I'm excited to hear what you have to share about it
8:45
and what you've been learning through the book to see how you've been applying it to your life
8:50
Of course. So just out of curiosity, how did you come up with the concept of the 1% More book
9:02
And can you give a little brief introduction to what it is for the people who don't know what it is yet
9:10
Yeah, sure. Yeah, I'll do that first. This is the book. It's called 1% More, The Hidden Force to Creating Extraordinary Results in Life and Business
9:20
It is a collaboration book. So I have 20 plus authors, co-authors in the book with me who are coaches, business owners, and leaders who are experts in their industry sharing their stories and their strategies
9:37
And most of the guests, or actually most of the co-authors in the book have been guests on the podcast show
9:43
They took a chance with me and said, hey, Len, let's do this. Let's try this out
9:48
This is my first published book, so it's been very exciting. I've learned a lot of things along the way, some great things and some things I need to
9:56
improve for my next book. But it's all been a beautiful journey of learning and growing
10:01
And I'm very happy that those who participate in the book have gone along with me in that journey
10:07
And the way the book is set up is broken up into four pillars, four pillars that I've
10:13
I teach, which are awareness, growth, action, and impact. And I write the introduction to all four
10:20
of the sections, and then I fill it in with the authors. So each author that fits best with each
10:27
of those sections are placed there to give an expansion upon the concept of awareness
10:33
the concept of growth, how to take action, and the impact, combining all three of them together
10:39
the impact that it makes. And it's about just doing that little extra. There's a quote in my
10:45
book from Jimmy Johnson that says that the difference between ordinary and extraordinary
10:51
is that little extra. So that's kind of how I got the concept of 1% more. It's just that little
10:57
extra that you do that makes you stand out between somebody else who's not doing that
11:03
who's just, I like to say, ordinary or average. People who are extraordinary or above average
11:08
are doing the little things, the little extra things that are making a huge impact in their lives
11:15
And we hear a lot from other coaches and gurus and stuff like that saying that you need to
11:20
10x things. You need to go crazy. You need to do double what you're doing
11:25
I don't believe in that concept. I think it's overwhelming. I think it's very challenging
11:29
And I think people just give up too quickly. But if you do a little bit every single day, those are simple, easy steps to do
11:38
And so throughout the book, I have simple, easy strategies that you can apply each day to make a difference in your life
11:48
And not only do I have that, I also set the book up as a workbook
11:52
So at the end of each chapter, you have an opportunity to answer questions, to see how your progress is going, or to write down your thoughts, ways for you to move forward in taking action in your life
12:06
So that's a little bit about the concept of the book. That's also how I got the name of the book. It's based off our company, the Extraordinary Being Movement. And that's how the concept came about. And that's how I decided to go with 1% more
12:22
Yeah. I think, you know, when I started reading the book, I was, again, didn't get very far, but at the moment, because I started a little bit late, unfortunately
12:42
That's no problem. That's my life so far at the moment, at the beginning of my school semester. Hopefully evens out
12:51
of course but what I was going to say you know I've been
12:58
actually and this is going to mix into it but you know how
13:03
I was thinking what can I what have I been offering 1% more
13:09
and I feel like what I've been doing lately on the back end
13:14
because after it came back from my two weeks vacation I'm actually rebranding
13:21
some of my social media stuff. So I was like, how can I do a little bit 1% more
13:26
And I've been focusing on specifically the brain colors, how can I make it more appealing to everyone on social media
13:40
so it's not just bland, boring, saying gold and black and white colors
13:45
Sure. And what I did, I used a gradient that looks half black, half gold
13:53
Okay, that looks great. I know that's not like 1%. I'm actually helping someone more
14:01
But I was like, well, maybe it will eventually help someone more
14:05
because if it stands out, people are like, hey, I'm going to go check this out
14:09
Sure. No, Jimmy, it sounds like you are working on your logo
14:15
and taking time to work on that is doing 1% more. It's those little actions that you need to take to, of course
14:22
improve your business, improve your life. Because the more attention you can get with a great logo that's catchy
14:29
and colorful, the better off you are. So really grab the attention of the customers or the prospects
14:36
that you're looking for. and so what are some without uh going over like the stuff that's in the book but just in general
14:47
what are some of the things that people can one percent more improve uh for them just like some actionable tips not the ones in the book because no spoiler alerts No spoilers Sure sure You know I always tell people you need to really work on your awareness first
15:08
And that's where you need to start looking to understand how you show up in the world
15:14
You know, what patterns are you currently seeing? You know, if you feel that your life is in disarray and, you know, things are always negatively happening to you
15:24
That's a sign that the universe is telling you, hey, there's something you need to change
15:29
You need to wake up and be aware of it. So you need to start looking at patterns in your life and seeing where you show up
15:37
If you're constantly in an argument with your partner, is it really you or is it them
15:42
And what is your responsibility in it? you know where are you where do you need to take ownership in in that conflict or in that
15:51
relationship so that you can become a better person a better partner a better lover so you
15:57
can show up differently you know how are you showing up in work how are you showing up with
16:01
your kids and there and i've noticed that where you show up in one place you're also showing up
16:07
in another place at the same time so it's not you know if you're having a problem in your
16:12
relationship, chances are you're probably having problems somewhere at work and you're probably
16:16
having somewhere else, maybe even with your children. And the best way to figure out those
16:22
things is really asking people for feedback. In essence, say, hey, what do you really think about
16:29
me? What do you see as a strong point? What do you think is a weakness to me? And take that stuff
16:34
take the constructive criticism, don't get offended by it, and really look at your life
16:42
and see where these things are showing up and then start working on it
16:47
You know, start going out and buying books on awareness, self-development, self-discovery, hire a coach
16:55
You know, have them work with you so that you can uncover what we call blind spots
17:00
and figure out where are these things that you're not seeing. And it's something that could just be a habit
17:07
that you've been doing for years, but it may not be working for you anymore
17:11
or a belief that you have, you know, that just really isn't serving you, if I can speak
17:19
serving you that was useful for you maybe when you were a teenager or a young child
17:24
but not serving you as an adult now. So those are things that I suggest and ways that you can go about start to improving your self-awareness
17:34
And then once you learn how to, you know, once you start understanding yourself more
17:39
And then you can move to the next stage is growth, learning to grow, expanding your knowledge, reading books, taking courses, things of that nature
17:48
I like those tips and I like how you make it seem very attainable and make it seem easy to do
18:05
Because there's this one test that I was literally putting off for many, many months
18:12
I got, and I'm going to admit, and I'm on this live stream, in July, I did not show up very well as myself because I had so many mixed emotions
18:26
So I took a step back. And what I've been focusing on, and I figured out where my emotions were coming from
18:36
I have too many different places where I store stuff and so many different places that is a disarray
18:45
So I had to spend over my two-week break. I didn't consider this work because it's just organization
18:55
If I was a professional organizer, I'll consider that as a job
18:59
but since the title, I was sprucing up where I'm storing my stuff
19:05
where I can find it, and that's what occurred to me. It's like I was unhappy in July because I can't find important stuff
19:17
and then when I'm late to send somebody my headshot or social media links and whatnot, it wasn't happening
19:27
and I was like, this is me, this is where I need to change
19:32
And that's where I decided, okay, I'm going to change. But it didn't come until August only because, I mean
19:42
it was starting to come near the end of July, but the changes didn't come until the end of August
19:48
just because I needed to get back to work again. And then I had the two weeks vacation
19:54
And so I was like, oh, since that's coming up, I'm going to use that time to fully get back to where I want to be
20:03
And finally I got to back where I was wanting to be. And it's like, I don't want to go back to July
20:08
I mean, and sure, in the summertime I do, but not the whole depressed
20:13
And I was just like, I hate this. And I was like, I like what I do
20:17
but I mentally was hating everything I was doing because it was like
20:22
oh, if it's not this test I'm not doing, Now I'm not doing good at, let's try this task
20:28
And I was just going from one thing to another thing. And I'm doing everything kind of half-ass
20:34
Yeah, I've been there where you just spread yourself too thin. You don't have yourself organized correctly
20:40
And then you're right. You do everything half-ass. And that's not a great way to work
20:45
But at least you're aware of it. So then you can start to put a new system in place and maybe a new time management system
20:53
or be able to block out time for yourself to be focused on your studies or on work or getting things organized and completed
21:02
Because when you're not having things completed, you feel chaos in your life
21:06
You feel upset. You feel aggravated. You feel on edge. And I've been there. I know what it's like
21:11
But once you get it done and resolve and make time to do it, it's like a huge relief
21:16
And you feel such a sense of freedom once you start organizing your life a little bit
21:22
And I keep a schedule, but I also leave space for flexibility because life is unpredictable
21:29
You know, sometimes things start on time and other times you have technical difficulties that set you back 15 minutes
21:37
So I like to always give myself a little wiggle room ahead of time and after whenever I do something so that I can set myself up for those unknowns in life that we all face
21:50
but taking advantage and managing your time is essential a lot of people don't do that
21:55
everyone acts like they don't have enough time in the world but we all have the same amount
22:00
of 24 hours and there's a difference between those who are successful and who aren't
22:06
because those who are successful are time managing their lives and those who
22:12
aren't successful are just flying by the seat of their pants and have no direction
22:16
or purpose in life so you want to always make sure that you're managing
22:20
things that have a purpose. Yeah. And, you know, speaking of time management one of the other things I actually also revamped a little bit I mean I wouldn say revamped but I replaced
22:36
I was using Google Calendar. I mean, I still use it, but I'm using a third-party tool
22:42
And you're probably wondering, like, well, why are you using a third-party tool? Well, I also have this time management app on my phone that just got that going
22:51
and the notification content going on and on and on. Not consistent, but just like what it's supposed to do at a certain time
23:00
it goes off every single time on the same exact day. And so I thought, is there another tool that I could do this with
23:10
besides Google Calendar and this other tool? And I found this one that just happened to be in my newsletter reading tool
23:19
I've been using. And it just came up, and it's like this new app called Daybook
23:27
And I was like, I like this thing. And what it's supposed to do is supposed to, you know
23:34
one thing I like what it said on their homepage, and it said
23:40
you know, normal calendars should try to help you fit more stuff
23:44
into your today, like in your workday, where this calendar tool is trying to bring your social calendar
23:53
and your work calendar together so you know it's like, okay, here's your free time block coming up
24:01
Make sure you take it so you're not feeling like, oh, all I do is work all day until I have to go somewhere else
24:08
and then I come home, cook dinner, blah, blah, blah for this
24:12
and then go out somewhere else again. And I was like, got to look forward to the fun things
24:18
Or you're just going to like, all I do is wake up, go to work, come home, go to bed
24:24
and do the same exact thing over and over and over again. And, you know, I used to have, and in the schedule, I used to have, I had to like set
24:38
times, like try to read my book. And I like to read a lot on the weekends
24:43
And so what I decided to do is, okay, I'm going to, during the week, I'm going to make sure I read my book Monday through Friday
24:51
And if I read my book on Saturday and Sunday, or if my parents want to watch a movie or go to the movies, I can have the option of, oh, let's do this
25:02
And so I call it free time. So it can be like, oh, hanging with friends or going to the movies or doing this
25:09
so just like what you said have that flexibility so it's not like i am set i'm this is my set
25:17
schedule i'm like a robot i'm going to do the same thing over and over and over again sure yeah and
25:22
nobody wants to be a robot you know you know we do get in those habits and those patterns that we
25:27
just go on autopilot and our brain is just like all right this is our routine and this is what we
25:33
do every day and sometimes you have to break it up a little bit just to you know get the brain to
25:38
start thinking differently. So you can start seeing things differently. Because once you get
25:42
into autopilot, you get blinders on and you don't see other things around you. You're not aware of
25:48
other things happening around you, to you and so forth. And you want to just keep expanding and
25:55
growing. And like I said, always be in action. For myself, what I try to do now so that I don't
26:02
have that mundaneness is that I schedule a new experience for myself every month. So whatever
26:09
that experience, new experiences like going to travel or going to a concert, exploring a new
26:16
restaurant, going on a random just road trip somewhere for the day and just exploring and
26:22
seeing what I can find. I add those in so I have a more fulfilling life for myself, more culture
26:30
more educated so I'm not in that mundane thingy, mundane way all the time so I can expand my life
26:38
and be more educated and experience more things and talk to new people. So I create monthly
26:43
experiences for myself. And it don't have to be expensive. They don't have to be big. It's just
26:48
something that's out of your normal routine. And that has been working well for me and I've been
26:53
enjoying it. So who would this book be beneficial for? Would it be for entrepreneurs or dads or
27:06
moms or brothers and sisters? Yeah. Jimmy, that's a great question. Yeah. This book is just laying
27:13
the foundation of personal development. This book is suitable for really anybody, for a teenager on
27:20
up for them to start, you know, for anyone to start learning how to be more socially aware of
27:26
themselves, be more, start developing their awareness. And I walk you through along with
27:32
the co-authors. I have over 20 different co-authors in this book and each of them are sharing a
27:37
different way and a different perspective. I have people that have been, have suffered from
27:41
depression and got themselves out. I've had people in the book who are, have been overweight
27:46
have been able to lose that weight and now live a healthier lifestyle
27:51
I have people that talk about, what else do I have in that book
27:56
About leadership, how to become a better leader, how to step up and live your life in integrity and leadership
28:04
So this book is very, very diverse, and it gives enough for anybody who could pick it up
28:12
something to inspire them by, something that they can easily follow, and have strategies and systems that they can implement today
28:20
So I put a lot of work into this book to make sure that it is simple and easy to use
28:25
I don't add a lot of big fluff. I have some personal stories about myself in the book and growing up and my family
28:31
but nothing that overshadows the true essence of the book and that strategies and systems that you can implement today
28:38
because I wanted to give everybody the opportunity to find their gifts
28:42
to become successful, to do the things necessary so they can rise above and do that 1% more to set
28:49
them apart from everybody else who are choosing not to, who want to just stay home and play video
28:55
games, who don't want to pick up that book to learn something new. You know, we all have our
29:00
own passions and we all have our own purpose in life. And this book is going to help you find that
29:05
figure out what your purpose is so you can start developing it so you can become
29:08
a higher level human being, somebody that you can have other people be inspired by you in life
29:16
So that's what the book is about. I'm definitely looking forward to reading more of this book because, you know
29:23
I'm always looking ways to better myself. But I'm still always, I think, in my opinion, and I said this to one of my friends and maybe
29:35
my parents that I think I'm always still gonna always play video games in my life
29:40
but only on like, if I'm not doing anything on the weekend, particularly
29:47
like if I have a planned event or whatnot, because, you know
29:51
it's just kind of an escape for me. Not like I'm escaping from real life
29:55
but just like, okay, it's either that or I'm working on something
29:59
I need to take a break. And that's one of my breaks I like to do
30:06
Sure. It's fun for me still. Yeah, Jimmy, I have no problem with anybody taking a break to go play video games or binge watch Netflix or something
30:15
Hey, I need that break two at times. It's just when that's all your life is about
30:21
Unless you're making money with it. Unless it's a business and you're making money with it
30:26
Hey, more power to you. But if you're just consuming your life with just escaping all the time, that's not always very healthy to do
30:34
You need to be driven in life. You need to have a passion and a purpose because there's much more to life
30:41
And some people, again, get those blinders on and don't explore what's outside their house or outside their bedroom
30:49
And to see what's out there in the world, the world is beautiful
30:52
And there's so much out there that it has to offer and give
30:56
and I'm just the type of person that likes a new adventure and likes to know more
31:02
What else is out there? How else can I improve my life? How else can I do more
31:07
How else can I serve the world? And that's what my passion and my purpose is in life
31:11
is to serve others. I think my passion is educating people, continuing education
31:20
educating people about autism awareness. Great. And that's from an autism point of view, not just so-called experts who think that they know everybody will be neck and cranny
31:34
Not bashing any experts or anything. Sure. But an expert isn't living in your shoes
31:41
Yeah. Where you're dealing with autism every single day and you're the one who has to understand how to cope in the world with it, you know, where they're not
31:50
Yeah. So coming from you, you are an expert in your way
31:54
Yeah. So what are some other steps that people could apply for being 1% better
32:07
Yeah, no, that's great. I mean, we've kind of touched on a few things right now in our conversation
32:12
You know, definitely set up a time schedule for yourself. Start learning how to time block so that you can really see how much you're getting done in your life
32:20
and how else you can make some improvements. because you'd be surprised all of a sudden you're on Instagram or watching reels
32:29
The next thing you know, an hour has gone by. You're like, oh, what the heck just happened
32:33
You know, so you want to be able to either time block that. I'm like, all right, I'm going to spend five minutes on social media
32:38
10 minutes on social media. That's it. Turn it off. Go back to doing your work
32:43
Take a break. Turn it back on and move forward again. You also want to be able to create, you know, a goal, create a goal plan
32:51
a system in your life. You know, what type of goals do you want to create? And really start looking at that. You know, where do you want to be in a year from now, two years from now, five, 10, 20 years, and start planning out that far. And you'll be surprised what you really accomplish once you have these goals written out and say, hey, this is what I want to do by this particular timeframe. And these are the steps I need to take to get there
33:18
you'll start working on it and you might get there you know you might have it for a five-year
33:22
plan you might be able to achieve it in two to three years you never know unless you start taking
33:28
and being in action and that's something I try to do every day is learning something new or you know
33:34
putting myself out there coming on to a podcast show or finding other shows to go on or what's my
33:40
next book I'm going to write who can I team up with how can I collaborate so I like to constantly
33:45
be in action, meet new people. And that has helped me accelerate my growth and helped me reach my
33:52
goals a lot faster. So that's what you want to do. And with that aspect of it, set your goals
34:00
So you want to do time management, you want to set your goals. We talked about blind spots
34:04
how to uncover blind spots in your life where you ask for feedback. Take the risks and say
34:10
hey, what do you like and don't like about me? What do you see that I constantly do wrong
34:15
What do you like about me? And then figure out ways of improving what already is your strength
34:22
and how you can provide that more to people. Something else I like to do is talk to people
34:31
about what working and what not working in their life For example if your health isn working why isn it working And write out all the things that with your health that not working right And that will open up more awareness to your life so you can take action on making improvements to those
34:50
And be in action and making, you know, living a healthier lifestyle, going to the gym, figuring out what you need to do to, you know, get yourself into a better state of mind
35:03
in a better state of healthy condition. Well, that's what I've also been focusing on as well
35:10
I've been writing down, kind of like taking note of what my feelings are as to a journal
35:20
I've been even making a vision board for myself, a virtual one because if I make a big mess
35:27
and a new house, I'm toast. yeah those those virtual vision boards are great just as long as you have them up on your computer
35:36
and you're looking at it daily even writing affirmations you know and so forth uh you know
35:43
about who you are who you want to become and what you want to do in life but make them specific make
35:48
them detailed things of that nature um so yeah so you're on the right track and and something else
35:54
i was going to add in there since you were talking about vision boards what came to my mind is living your life with intention. See, we all have good intentions to go do things. I have the good
36:04
intention to start a business or audition for this part in a play or get on stage. Those are
36:11
good intentions. But when you start living intentionally and say, I am going to get on
36:18
stage to be a TEDx speaker or I am going to develop my podcast show by next month, that's you now
36:27
living in intention. That's you putting it out there in the universe to hold your stuff
36:32
accountable and responsible and taking ownership of making it happen. So you want to live life
36:39
intentionally. That's the only way you can really make your life successful is having that intent
36:45
and moving forward on taking action. I like that. I like living my life intentionally
36:53
especially because for a long time I was wondering if I was a good enough writer
37:02
to actually submit an article to Forbes. And I finally got the courage enough to submit it
37:11
And I use this PR kind of tool to be featured in companies like that. Yeah
37:19
And so I submitted a piece. Of course, there's a tracking kind of feature to see where you ďż˝
37:27
I mean, it just tells us it's being reviewed and whatnot. And it's like I might faint if I see it says published
37:35
and I'd be like, holy crap. Yeah, that would be an awesome experience and opportunity
37:43
Yeah, Jimmy, there's a lot of opportunities out there. You just have to start looking for them
37:47
Even starting off in a local publication or your school publication and getting started there because they might have more flexibility to allow you to submit an article just to give you the start
38:00
And then when you submit something to Inc. or Forbes or Men's Health or something like that, you can say, hey, I've also been featured on these podcast shows
38:09
I've also been featured in these other articles, these other magazines, newspapers, and so forth
38:17
They may not be big ones yet, but hey, at least you start building up that track record to say, hey, this guy is serious about writing
38:24
He is serious about what he wants to be doing in his life, and that does weigh a lot to these – it helps you out a great deal
38:33
that's why i have uh that's why i still have my uh on my home page of my website i still
38:42
on crazyfitnessguy.com i had uh my uh i still have my uh times square new york city uh billboard
38:53
photo i also have my autism parenting magazine uh yeah i mean not the specific issue because uh i
39:02
I got that free issue and that would be mean for me to share that publicly
39:09
because they want you to pay for it, for people to pay for it
39:13
So I was like I not going to do that But still I have it there to show I been there I even linked to the digital online copy of my name on the list of other authors listed in the magazine
39:31
So there's proof. Got it. Yeah. Yeah. And that's fantastic. And that's what you want to keep doing is just keep showing your authority in what you do and your position
39:45
So all that adds up over time. So what should people take away from your book when they're finished reading it
40:02
I appreciate the question, Jimmy. I want people to take away is that you have the power to make a difference in your life
40:12
And it doesn't have to be hard. It's simple. You just have to be in action. You have to learn more about yourself. You have to
40:21
spend a little time reading, growing, and developing yourself. And because when you go
40:26
through those stages of awareness, growth, and action, it causes an impact. And that impact is
40:33
one, you're making a huge impact on yourself. You're going to develop and change, and people
40:37
are going to see you quite differently in time. Then the impact is also going to affect people
40:42
around you, you know, because you're going to be a catalyst to help other people, either
40:47
intentionally or non-intentionally, to start developing themselves. And then that starts a ripple effect that can affect the world
40:57
So you as one person can make a big change by just doing little things, that 1% more
41:05
every single day in your life, that can cause a ripple effect of success, not only for you
41:11
but for everybody else around you as well because they're going to see how well you're doing
41:15
and this book lays the foundation for you to start that and you can develop from there
41:22
So where can people read your book, find your book, purchase your book
41:28
And is the book in any of libraries around the world? Yeah, my book currently is on Amazon
41:36
You can get it on Amazon. You can get it at Barnes & Noble and Walmart online
41:41
and Goodreads. So you can get it at those locations. A lot of people pick it up at Amazon
41:47
which is great. And I do have the Kindle version, and I do have it as a soft cover book
41:54
And I'll be excited if you get a copy. I would appreciate it
41:59
I don't believe I have it in libraries yet. I know that's something I'm working on
42:03
getting it more distributed out there. But that is on the list to do as well
42:09
And I have no problem, you know, If a library will like a copy of it, sending them a copy as well to have it hosted, have it there
42:17
But yeah, check out on Amazon. You know, go there on Amazon and pick up a copy today
42:24
Awesome. And where can people find you, follow you, and learn more about who you are, what you do, and whatnot
42:34
Yeah. Yeah, they can go over to my website. It's called The Extraordinary Being Movement
42:40
dot com and there they can start seeing more information about what the company is about
42:47
what we do, some of the guests that have been on our show, some of our podcast shows, your podcast
42:53
show, and also be able to get some more information about the book as well. So again, it's called
43:00
The Extraordinary Being Movement and they can go there and learn a little bit more about me and
43:05
my coaching and, and what my partners and I are up to
43:10
And there's the exact website. There you go. I'm multitasking. Yeah. You're multitasking, doing a great job. So I appreciate it. So yeah
43:20
so that's the website. You can go there and click, um, or you can go to that link as well
43:25
That takes you right to Amazon or you can go to the website and click there and that will take you to, uh, the opportunity to order the book as well
43:33
Awesome. And, uh, I'm, I'll keep you posted when this episode goes live
43:38
I'm going to make sure it goes live by the end of this month
43:43
Great. Yeah. And by the way, if you come into Pennsylvania, you and me got to get
43:52
meet up. Yeah, no problem. Yeah we would definitely meet up Jimmy Like I said I used to live in Pennsylvania in State College Pennsylvania for a long time until I moved out to Arizona So yes I will definitely look you up when I back out back in the area
44:08
Definitely. And thank you for joining us. And I appreciate your time
44:15
And you're always welcome on the show. Great, Jimmy. Same to you
44:19
Thank you so much. I appreciate it. You're welcome. Thank you. So that's all the time that we have today because I got a meeting with a
44:30
company at three. Hopefully they show up. And in the meantime, make sure you check out Len's website
44:41
extraordinarybeamovement.com. And then make sure you get his book at Get Book at 1% More. and
44:52
would that be a dot com? I hope so but make sure go check it out
44:58
and definitely purchase this book, I got it I'm still reading it, like I said
45:05
I'm going to write a whole written review on my website once I
45:11
finish it and process the information because I do not believe in
45:16
just writing a review and just leaving it as that. I had to process the whole thing before I can write a nice review
45:26
And I'm not going to just write the whole review on Amazon because then it's just Amazon's work and whatnot
45:33
Not that I have a problem with Amazon. But, oh, and so if you also, real quick
45:41
and I forgot to do this in the beginning, way to go after two weeks vacation
