This is Millionaire Case Study Episode 68
What's up crew today is Sunday July 23rd 2017 and just
wanted to pop in here and update you where things are at. I don't really have
an agenda for this episode just turning the camera on and we'll see where it
where it takes us. I think you might have gotten the sense if you've watched other
episodes previous to this that I've been an interesting rollercoaster for this
month of July just been a lot of ups and downs in my emotions.
Feeling a little bit overwhelmed honestly at times where probably because
I'm doing things that I haven't done like taking on more clients than I ever
have and there's just an interesting little bit of overwhelm and anxiety even
that comes with it like like worried and like what if this doesn't work out or
what if all these clients I have so much just a lot of pressures like I gotta
serve them or what if they all cancel and there's just just a lot. So I just
want to document that that that's real and that that's happening because that's
what Millionaire Case Study is all about is to kind of give a peek into the reality
of what's going on. So that's been happening I haven't completely pulled
out of it to just be honest and yeah it's been it's been interesting cuz a
lot of times I know that there's all these things that I need to just get
done and it's sometimes hard to get myself to just do it and I'm learning
that motivation is just not you can't just you got to have more than
motivation because there's some things that I must get done whether I feel like
it or not it needs to get done. Because this next week coming up starting
tomorrow is going to be a massive week for a number of reasons
so next this coming week I'm speaking in Las Vegas at an event and even though
I've spoken at other events this event is
big for me in the sense that it is the first really paid speaking engagement
that I've done. And so just to document the numbers and everything for for full
transparency I think so on this speaking engagement coming up I
made about two thousand nine hundred and fifty dollars on the fee which that
accomplished a major goal that I had which was I wanted to make more for a
speaking engagement than I did in my entire month's salary at my day job and
at my day job I made anywhere between like two and four
most the time so this is right there so I accomplished that goal which I'm
pumped about. So I've talked in a lot of other places so I have to keep telling
reminding myself that and I've talked in front of 2,200 people before and there's
only gonna be like 50 people at this one from what I understand but there's still
a new pressure of what I mean I have 75 minutes 75 minutes to talk I haven't
ever talked that long before in front of a crowd so there's some pressures there
and there's some other firsts that I'm doing at this event so I negotiated that
I get a booth for three days so I'm sponsoring the event too well it was
negotiated I'd have to pay to sponsor its part of the deal.
So I have a booth for the three days and I get to make an offering from stage and
I've never done that before and so yeah there's just a little bit of
pressure there and what's really interesting is for over this last week I
know that I've been needing to button up some things and like to create my
offering and put it in a PowerPoint so that I do it right and it's just been so
hard to be productive I don't know what it is and it's bugging me because I
I don't want to mess it up it's almost like it's I don't know if my if it's so
new my subconscious minds like what are you doing and it's trying to sabotage it
it's just weird and I'm coming up right to the edge and I've got to get it done
I'm gonna get it done and it's just it's just crazy. But anyway I'm leaving on
Thursday the event starts on Friday and I speak on Saturday that's the plan
anyway so that's coming up. But here's another thing that adds a little twist
to this the other twist is I think I mentioned it in last episode as of today
my wife and I have not had our baby girl yet and it's um it's a bit crazy she's a
little bit overdue right now and it's cutting it really close to the speaking
engagement because I want to be there for the birth of my daughter and it'd be
really awesome if it was today or tomorrow something like that I don't
know what's gonna happen or maybe my wife goes another week over who knows
and I have to hurry up and go down to Las Vegas and give the speech and I hear
she's in labor and I have to rush back I don't know. So there's still a lot of new
things unknowns up in the air that I'm trying to just work through I don't know
what my baby's gonna be born I don't know how the speaking engagements going
to go again especially with it being my first ever officially paid speaking gig
that I'm doing making the offer how's that gonna work,
with the booth, what's that gonna do. I'm like am I gonna make any sales all that stuff
I just don't know. Now another thing that happened that's related to speaking that
I want to document here that's really cool and at the same time adds again a
little bit more pressure and it's this so I have been one of my goals I have it
right here on my desk that I if you go back to the episode I did for the
beginning of 2017 one of my major goals for this year is to give a TED talk a
TEDx talk and I just got the email this week that I'm invited to a TEDx
preview event. Now what a TEDx that TEDx preview event is is it's like a foot in
the door so they invited me to give a five-minute talk and this is also in Las
Vegas this is happening August 4th and so not everyone was selected in this
they they announced that they were going to do that you you still might be able
to give a regular TEDx talk but they invited some people that applied to give
a preview talk and I said that'd be cool I'll do that and they selected me and
actually out of the seven of us that are doing that me and one of my friends got
selected which is crazy and awesome at the same time. So that's cool it's a step
in the right direction I have that coming up on August 4th but here's where
the pressure comes in as of right now oh so I have to give an outline and
everything of what my five-minute talk is gonna be I need to give that on the
28th which is in five days I have this talk coming up, I have the baby coming
and the biggest kicker here's the thing I don't even know my TEDx talk is gonna
be about yet. I have some basic ideas I don't know if it should be around my
book fish-out-of-water if I should have some idea out there cuz I I can't be
about me it needs to be an idea that is substantial substantial enough that if
they like the preview talk they're like what can you do in 13 or 15 or 18
minutes of this talk and the thing is is I need to get that talk
outline done today and it's already like 3:00 let me see. It's a quarter after
3:00 right now this afternoon and I just haven't been able to get myself to do
anything productive all weekend which is frustrating. So I'm on this journey
figuring it out to see like what I what I need to do to like pick myself up do
things when I don't feel like it and it's weird because you would think that
these are lessons I would have learned already
and looking at earlier episodes even last year I went through similar things
where I did learn it and then I hit this product productivity mode and just kept
crushing and right now I'm going through a similar cycle and
it's so weird and what I have to think that it is is it's probably just because
I'm doing there's so many new things and unknowns and things like that happening
at once. I mean there's a lot of things going on right now and I think when the
dust settles I'll probably get a sense of more certainty but right now it's
just like what's gonna happen, I don't know when the baby's gonna be born, I
don't know how this speaking engagement is gonna be, I don't know if I'm gonna
make any sales from stage, I don't know if I'm gonna make any sales at the booth,
I don't know if if I got a lot of clients even if, I would be able to
handle it with with my small team that I have now I need to hire a new designer.
Just all this stuff. I don't know what I'm gonna be doing for the TEDx talk
and I need to decide like right after this and come out with an outline and
like send it to them so I don't squander the opportunity. So that's what what I'm
doing right now just to catch up I don't have any I guess parting wisdom that I'm
learning from this this is just the the crazy little uncertain life I'm on I
feel like I'm on this the sea on a little piece of ice and it's like
wobbling like I want to fall in that's kind of what the feeling feels like. Okay
one thing I do want to document is my hair though and why it's as long as it
isn't just kind of update it so another major goal for the year is to get down
to 140 pounds I have not been a hundred and forty for probably close to ten
years at least in a very healthy way well it's probably been closer to eight.
But I've made the commitment that I'm going to make it happen and I did a
similar goal like this last year to get down to another goal weight but this is
even more and anyway I'm not getting a
haircut until I do and this has also been a rollercoaster ride because I
think I started around at the beginning the year of 165 something like that it's
crazy how I even bounced back up to that I swear I was never gonna get that much
again after I got down to like 145 150 last year and I made the commitment and
I started exercising eating better and it was like after my trip in Thailand
when I got home I had noticed I dropped weight like I was like around 150 151
then I gained it all back and I was back in the 160s and I was like gosh come on
and then I lost some and then I went back and it was the end of May I stepped
on the scale after it worked for my face off and I was 149 I was like yes! 10-15
pounds down I'm gonna do this then in July I'm sorry then in June I don't know
what I did apparently nothing I just let it all go to hell I was traveling a lot
and I did not restrict my diet at all and I stepped on the scale at the end of
July early or keep saying July we're in July right now I stepped on the scale at
the end of June or in early July and I was back into the 160s again. So it's
like what am i doing ugh I wanted to have this done already
it's so frustrating it just makes me so angry at myself for for for giving in
for giving in to what I know is bad for me like yes that pizza looks awesome
it's gonna taste awesome but it's gonna fuck me over if I want to get to this
goal and there were so many times that even though I knew that intellectually I
was like well I just want to eat right now uh that offer some it was just
crazy and so for this whole month of July I really like I've never been as
dedicated as I am right now ever in my entire life when it comes to my eating
and my lifestyle. So just kind of update where things are out there what I've
decided to do is I have like zero cheating, room for cheating so what I've
done before is that I thought was helpful is I would say okay I'm gonna
eat healthy for this long but then like on the weekend or maybe even just Sunday
I can cheat and eat crap and I was like then I can tell myself that that that's
when I can have the junk and I'll be okay. But one bite of pizza
end up being like a lot and then I just fell out of the cycle so what I think
works better for my personality is to not even get myself a bite of junk and
just freakin stay on this until I hit my goal. Like no variation like my little
boy Archie was gonna give me a fish cracker and it was all cute and
everything and he was gonna put it in my mouth and I just even stopped that I
don't want one little bite. I'm grating grating cheese for my wife Becca for
cheese and to put on eggs. That's not part of my meal plan to have cheese or dairy.
So I'm not even gonna have one little piece of cheese. People offer me drinks,
chips and salsa all that I'm just saying no I'm not having a freaking bite of
that until I get to the goal. In fact what I want to document here is what
I've decided is even when I get to 140 cuz I'm going to freakin do it when I do
I'm not just gonna go cheat that day or that night and celebrate with crap. I've
done that and it made me fall off the wagon so what my commitment to myself is
is I'm gonna stay this strict as I am for thirty days after I hit the goal so
I'm gonna stay this strict until I hit it and it's just gonna happen
and I'm gonna keep working out every day and I'm gonna be strict. Now there's a
couple other things I've added to this to be even more strict so my diet is
just a pretty easy to follow diet honestly it's following kind of like the
whole 30 eating plan where I just eat real food and instead of doing it for 30
days I'm doing it until I hit my weight goal so I'm just eating real foods, real
fruits, real vegetables, meat and trying to not have anything processed like I
can have bacon as long as it's regular you're like good bacon stuff that
doesn't have add it is so I'm trying to not get anything with like night
nitrates in it and stuff like that and then the other thing I'm adding to this
is fasting and this I think is helping me helping my metabolism and helping me
feel more in control of myself so what I'm doing with fasting is first of all
I'm doing a intermittent fasting where I go 14 to 16 hours without eating and
kind of how I do that is whatever my last meal was like if it was 7 p.m. the
next day when I wake up I just do not eat until between 9 and 11
some people like to think of the eight-hour window that they can eat that
doesn't work with my brain what I usually do is just eat whenever however
much I want to eat without worrying about the window but then the next day I
think of when did I eat last yesterday so if it was even 8 p.m. that I'm like
okay then I cannot eat until that would be 10 to noon I need to eat wait you
were between 10:00 and noon and it's actually been easier than I thought I've
been doing this for the whole month of July doing that intermittent fasting and
I'm gonna continue to do that and then the other thing I'm adding into this is
a full two day fast every week so right now I've been doing it on from like the
middle of the day Wednesday to the middle of the day Friday is where
I do not eat anything except I can have like coffee tea and broth. So other than
that that's what I'm doing. And as of this week I got down to I was up in the
160s at the beginning of the month and I'm down to 151.6 is when I
got down to. So I just wanted to update you there cuz I'm not getting a haircut
until I do until I hit the 140 and as you know this is Millionaire Case Study I'm
you might have heard it before if you've watched other episodes but I'm not
shaving until I hit the million and the million is 1 million dollars within a
12-month period and if you watch the very beginning episode of
this year you might have noticed I flipped them at first it was the hair
was for the million this was for the 140 and I decided to that it made more sense
for me to do it the other way around. So when I hit 140 I get to get a haircut
and I don't get to shave my beard off but I get a shape it so when I ever I go
to the barber I'm gonna have them shape it to look a little bit nicer because it
gets bushy this is actually the most shaped it's ever been it's usually a lot
bushier but I'm gonna have them shape it to look more like Dan Bilzerian's beard
there's something like that. So that's where I'm at guys again just wanted to
update I don't want to continue on this much longer so they're just gonna end it
here I hope this gives you a sense of where I'm at on this millionaire journey
and I think what it does if nothing else at the very end I hope you can see that
there's nothing special about me that you and other human beings don't already
have. I'm a human being, I've been going through a rollercoaster ride, I'm doing
stuff I've never done before it feels overwhelming, I feel the pressure, I
wonder if I can do it. I self-doubt and I'm just looking to do
it anyway - look fear in the eye just give fear the finger yeah yeah I said it
fear I'm giving you the finger fear take it. And yeah so I hope people can
see that and realize that this is just a very human experience and hopefully
through that you can see that if a regular dude like me can do it then if
there's something you want to go after, you can do it too. So keep
following the journey I'm gonna keep staying strict to this eating and doing
the cardio that I just started this week and pushing and pushing not even having
a single fish cracker or anything like that until I hit 140. So thank you so
much for watching. The next time I will have given my talk in Vegas, hopefully
the baby's born and I will have had to have submitted my talk for this TEDx
preview thing. It's gonna be crazy that's a lot that needs to happen between now
and the next time you see me in the next episode. So I'll update you and see how
those things went. I'm Calvin Wayman, your Millionaire Case Study the first story
showing how I went from zero to my first million right here live as it's
happening. Thank you so much for watching.
