Years beforeTartick proposed to Bristoweor even set foot on a reality television set, he worked in corporate banking.
And what made you say that this was a format you wanted to use to convey these messages?
This book is an eight-step roadmap to do just that.
It’s good to have a specific jumping off point from somebody who knows the inner workings of that.
You already mentioned it, but only 37% of people in their entire career negotiate for themselves.
Even small things like that, this book does it.
Additionally, I make it very entertaining with theory takeaways, but also some really good stories.
We did that and I did that by getting extremely vulnerable and raw.
There are stories that I’ve talked about in this book that I’ve never told anyone.
I think we pulled it off, especially with Chapter 1.
It gets right into the weeds.
That was probably the most challenging thing.
People I look up to take action from this book, and that has been amazing.
If we can make an impact on anyone that touches the book, it would be a big win.
That’s the goal.
Were there specific books that you found inspirational and formative to you when you were starting your career?
Those are two books that I love.
As much as you look up to books, you should look up to people too.
That was such a pinch-me moment, which was really, really exciting.
People that treat those as silos will inevitably realize they’re not silos, right?
How can I make an impact every single minute?
When I go to bed, did I move the chains forward significantly from when I woke up?"
That changes your whole energy, your whole dynamic and what you want to do on a day-to-day basis.
And they don’t have the tools necessary to make that change.
Like you were saying, to step away from that and do stuff that’s also personally fulfilling.
I think it’s hard to get there.
Chapter 2 in this book is “Break the Blueprint and Embrace Change.”
We need a hall pass to literally walk to the bathroom when we’re in high school.
What I talk about is, we’re all born into our own blueprint.
The blueprint is what shapes the direction for our lives, and one of two things happens.
One of the big things about this book is to think about breaking the current blueprint you’re in.
That’s the process, because a lot of people don’t make that change because of fear.
One of the only things that we have in life is time.
If we’re not taking advantage of this time to learn more about ourselves, we never will.
The more information you have, the better you might navigate and customize a solution for you.
Tartick discussed important lessons he learned from Alex Rodriguez
Yeah.
I think that’s essential to anything that you want to do in life.
I said to A-Rod, “Listen, there’s 8 billion people on this entire planet.
You are one of the best athletes to ever live.
You’re one of the only athletes that owns a professional team.
You’re one of the most relevant people in pop culture.
You’re the most followed baseball player in social media.
How are you achieving outrageous outlying success in every single one of these dimensions?
How are you one in 8 billion?”
The two things he said is, one, he said “luck.”
The second thing he said is he lives his life in the sixth gear.
He said, “As a result of that, I have fallen on my face.
I have been embarrassed.
I was also interested, you were talking a lot about your personal journey.
Or you were just playing it moment by moment?
I had no idea what that would lead to.
That’s not for him.”
You have a rocket on your back, going to the top in corporate America.
Why take this risk?"
It was a life opportunity that literally flipped my life upside down and changed everything about it.
Now, one thing I do think that’s important is I knew I was burnt out.
Not letting fear run your life, right?
Every single day, whether you know it or not, you have to negotiate.
You have to negotiate for what you’re earning.
You have to negotiate for what you’re spending.
One other one I’ll give, that I talk a lot about, is behavioral-based budgeting.
If you take three months of your credit card history, print out three months and go through it.
Go through it and look at it more than just the dollars and the transactions.
It’s like going into a therapist.
Maybe you’re forgetting about monthly renewals, and that shows a little bit of lack of organization.
Maybe you’re spending a lot in high luxury areas.
Negotiating and behavioral-based budgeting are my two big things.
Those little things add up.
Or maybe it’s that … there’s so many lessons in three months of credit card.
Maybe there’s consistency in impulse purchases.
If you’re starting to recognize that, start on subscribing to different email lists.
There’s so many things you could tell about your purchases, about who you are as a person.
And then… it’s tough.
It’s a lot of moving parts.
Negotiate, negotiate, negotiate.
Every day, you have to negotiate.
Because you do need that knowledge first.
We have been taught as humans, we negotiate every single day.
Every person that reads this, whether you know it or not, you are negotiating.
How has that been planning the wedding while she’s away?
It has been almost impossible.
[Both laugh].
The thing, is I refuse …
I am not picking the venue by myself.
Impossible, and I’m not doing a virtual walkthrough with Kaitlyn.
There’s some areas where I have to draw the line in the sand.
She’ll be back here.
March 19th or 20th, I’ll be back here.
I think that’s where it’s going to start.
We got to get the venue locked in.
The issue right now is dates.
My brother’s text said, “Thanks for the invite.”
I’m thinking to myself, “What the hell’s going on?
I don’t recall setting a date.”
As a result of that, Kaitlyn’s perception of October ‘22 will also be pushed back.
We’ll find out once we lock in that venue.
It will be here in Nashville, Tennessee.
So, it’ll be nice when you guys can actually go and do that instead.
There always is a lot of noise.
“Well, it’s been a while.
What’s going on?
There’s no date.”
That has also led to a little bit of the delay, but it’ll all be worth it.
At the end of the day, all that matters is that you guys are happy.
No doubt about it.
It’s a really unique group to be a part of.
or “Why is it that you go on this show and then people are dating right after?”
It’s a life-changing experience.
It gives you this unique experience that you bond over.
To be part of it is honestly such a reward.
It’s such an honor.
That’s the nature of it.
We all have, for the most part, a pretty underlying respect and understanding for one another.
It’s been a wild reward.
I’m glad that it’s been a positive experience.
Obviously, you’ve gotten so many incredible things.
You’re getting married.
You have a book.
You have all these great business opportunities that came from it.
It was a good gamble on your part.
It was a good gamble.
