Hey everybody. Welcome back to another episode of the mind George show. And really, uh, today's episode is really going to make sense as to why this podcast is named the mind of George show. Probably one of the biggest hidden. Secrets to my success. Most of my friends success and for whatever reason is not talked about enough.Um, and so I have a very special guest today, probably the world's most interesting man that I know. And I've talked to recently, which I'm excited to bring into and we're going to be unpacking a lot of fun stuff. Probably around mindset, stress, relief, anxiety, changing habits, setting yourself up to win as an entrepreneur and your business and your life and whatever else that we can get into.So without further ado, I'd love to introduce my dear friend and I'm going to let him pronounce his name, but his name is Alp. And how do I say your last name?  I always feel, I always feel like I want to say it in, like, it's a one word, like it's a one name, like,  your name? And that sounds like so Royal. Um, but I'm super excited to have you my friend.So good morning. Welcome to the show. Good morning. Nice to be here. Thank you very much for the invitation. Of course, I'm going to kick it off. Like I do everybody and everywhere and you've had an interesting life, but I want to go right to that, that relating point. So when you think back, uh, cause you've been in business for a while, you've been playing this game for a long time.When you think back, what is the biggest mistake that you have ever made in business and what did you learn from it? I think the biggest mistake is that I have listened to so called experts rather than my own opinion and voice, you know, I probably spent, I don't know how many thousands and thousands to, uh, experts and coaches who all knew better or at least seem to know better.And in the end things didn't work out the way. They should have been, not because they were not qualified necessarily, not because they didn't know what they are talking about, because I think at the end of the day, it's us living our lives also in business. Right. So, and somehow we don't know why something might make sense, but we, we feel it.And if we do not go after this, we are not in our own power. So if we, if we give away the power just to experts, because we believe somebody else has the wisdom for our next step, basically this might or might not be true depending on where we are coming from. That's um, that's a powerful lesson. I've learned that one too.Uh, it's probably like one of the number one things that I bump into a lot with like people I coach and students, and even, even a lot of the industry in which we're in, right? Like experts selling the answers for you. When I, when I think what really is, and we're going to get into this, but, but really what it is is that.You know, you know, there's all these wise quotes that like when the student is ready, the teacher appears. And I, I think there's this consumption, um, like this dopamine hit of like advocating our own responsibility and our own wisdom thinking. That somebody else will give it or have it, and the analogy.And I'm going to ask for your thoughts on this, but the analogy that I always use, and I believe my buddy, Jeff Spencer, was the owner, said this to me or something in context. And it always stuck with me. And it's like, Olympic athletes are Olympians with, or without a coach. The coach's job is to help navigate blind spots and keep them on track.But they're the ones running the race. And when I, us as human beings, Like we innately when we spend time alone or connecting to our breath or feeling our emotions, what we're tapping into is wisdom. And that wisdom is like a barometer, right? Like I wrote an email about this the other day. You can either be a thermostat or you can be a thermometer, right.And thermometer, just react all you can do. Like I can freeze you in a block of ice and all you can do is tell me, you can. It's colder
