Gary and James Jones are two individuals who have faced many challenges on their path to success. Despite the obstacles they have faced, they have emerged as better and more resilient individuals. Gary and James are both coaches who have shifted into finance and real estate. They have used their struggles to fuel their growth and have found success in their respective careers. Gary and James both believe that pain is temporary and that if they quit, it will last forever. They also coach at lower levels and have the same dream as many other people. Gary has realized that he doesn't accept the norm of the profession and believes in himself more than what is allowed in that field. Their stories are a testament to the idea that adversity can be a powerful catalyst for change. The speaker had a revelation that he was more valuable than what others said he was when he was waiting for a call from Cliff Kingsbury that never came. This experience led him to pursue a career in real estate, where he has completed over 34 million in sell side, buy side, and loan side transactions. It was difficult for him to switch his mindset to something that 97% of people don't think about, but it has ultimately set him free. He still loves football, but was able to reinvent his dream by creating something for himself. The speaker discussed how he changed from playing football to pursuing real estate. He believes that it is important to embrace being in the 3%, as that is what it takes to be successful. He emphasizes how important it is to be able to set trends and not follow the herd. He believes that God has a plan for everyone's life, and that it is important to take the steps forward, even if that plan may not be immediately clear. In this conversation, the speaker shares how getting fired was the catalyst for his shift in mindset. He was used to feeling rejected in his career field, and this allowed him to develop a sense of resilience and confidence in himself. He explains how the rejection he experienced while trying to pursue a career in football gave him the skill set to be successful in other arenas, such as sales and mortgage brokering. He shares how although rejection can be difficult to experience in the moment, it can actually be a form of protection that helps to push and cultivate us.
