and i wanted to quit and walk away but
00:01
if i did i could throw in jail so i was
00:02
like this is the worst point ever
00:08
paid to sell your product i love this
00:11
guy
00:11
i honestly the entrepreneurs are the
00:12
only people that can actually change
00:14
this planet
00:16
when people think of team building a lot
00:18
of times you probably think of the
00:19
classic trust fall
00:20
or maybe even this what are you doing
00:25
are these activities really that
00:26
effective in today’s episode i’m gonna
00:28
show you guys my number one team
00:29
building
00:30
activity it’s something that’s super
00:31
powerful and helps you get to know
00:32
everybody on your team
00:33
at a deep level in just minutes or maybe
00:35
an hour i guess it depends on how big
00:37
your team is
00:37
but it works trust me recently i was
00:40
inspired we had a chance to go to
00:41
fiji with tony robbins on an affiliate
00:43
retreat and what i didn’t know at the
00:44
time is there’s a lot of companies that
00:45
actually bring their entire teams to
00:47
to fiji to do something that tony calls
00:51
the log jump no the pull down
00:55
we did that by literally climbing up
00:57
this huge pole which was scary enough as
00:59
it is
01:00
after you’re on the pole you literally
01:01
look out and you see the like trap piece
01:03
and you have to
01:04
jump and grab it the whole time trusting
01:06
that your team is actually going to hold
01:07
it on the other end
01:08
if they let go of it you pretty much are
01:10
dead so it’s a good way to
01:12
build trust with the team who’s
01:13
literally going to save your life as you
01:15
take
01:15
the lead
01:16
[Music]
01:21
it was a fascinating team building
01:22
activity but unfortunately when i got
01:24
back to boise they wouldn’t let me build
01:26
a pole
01:26
so uh there’s other activities you can
01:28
use as well including the one i’m gonna
01:29
show you guys today now before we get
01:30
too deep can you take a second and
01:32
please like this video down below and
01:33
make sure you subscribe to the channel
01:34
that way i can keep making amazing
01:36
videos for you walking you through the
01:37
stuff that’s gonna help change your
01:38
business and change your life
01:41
the activity i’m going to teach you guys
01:43
today is something i learned a couple of
01:44
years ago when i had a chance to join an
01:45
organization called
01:47
eo there’s a whole bunch of
01:48
entrepreneurs and business people and a
01:50
chance to get to know each other in a
01:51
very short period of time when they try
01:52
to figure out what’s the best way for us
01:54
to get to know everybody they introduced
01:55
me to
01:56
this activity which shows you guys the
01:58
lifeline of your life
02:00
this is how it works you get a white
02:01
board and you draw a line across the
02:02
middle
02:03
and the left-hand side is your birthday
02:05
the day you were born and then the
02:06
right-hand side is today
02:08
you start at the very beginning you
02:09
start your birth and you go and you get
02:11
the top and you draw a dot
02:12
at the very first peak of your life
02:14
right and and then you explain what
02:15
happened to you at that point
02:17
you keep going you draw down and then
02:19
you talk about what happened there and
02:20
then you’re ups and you’re down
02:21
sometimes they’re little ups and downs
02:22
sometimes they’re big ups
02:24
or really big downs and each point at
02:26
the peak in the valley
02:28
you draw a dot and you explain that part
02:30
of your life
02:31
what happened why it results in
02:33
something that’s either really good or
02:34
really bad
02:35
and why it meant so much to you now when
02:36
we did at the ey event it was really
02:38
cool
02:38
and i had a chance to watch everybody do
02:41
theirs and because i was the new guy i
02:42
did mine at the very end
02:43
and a lot of these people become
02:44
lifetime friends ever since then and so
02:46
because of that
02:47
that’s why i wanted to bring it to the
02:48
clickfunnels marketing team in our team
02:49
retreat
02:51
[Music]
02:58
now at our employee retreat we brought
03:00
the entire marketing team to an airbnb
03:02
here in boise
03:03
and we spent the first days kind of
03:04
working and getting to you know working
03:05
on the projects and talking about
03:07
everything
03:07
and then about dinner time and said look
03:09
i want to do something with everybody
03:10
that i promise you is going to be very
03:11
uncomfortable
03:12
but by the end of tonight we’re going to
03:14
work better as a team we’re going to
03:16
understand each other
03:16
we’ll be able to get to our goals way
03:18
faster and when i announced to everybody
03:19
that we were gonna do this activity
03:20
almost everybody was like wait i don’t
03:23
know if i’m willing to share those
03:24
things in this group
03:25
anyway so that’s kind of context so
03:26
everyone’s gonna actually be doing this
03:27
and so
03:28
i’m gonna do it once and then everyone’s
03:30
gonna have five minutes to do it
03:32
in front of everybody um so i’m gonna do
03:35
it
03:42
all right so the first step in the
03:43
process i need to show them how it
03:45
actually worked now most of my team
03:46
knew my highlights right they’d seen the
03:48
highlight reel and so i got there very
03:50
first and i said okay this is how it
03:51
works everyone’s got five minutes to do
03:52
this you have to be careful because if
03:53
you’re not careful
03:54
people will spend three hours telling
03:56
their life stories so then i started i
03:58
drew
03:58
my birth i drew today and i started in
04:00
real time going through my very first up
04:02
that i can remember and my very first
04:03
down am i up am i down
04:04
and over the next five minutes i
04:06
explained to them all the things that
04:08
have made me me
04:09
it was interesting because i think a lot
04:10
of people heard some of the stories up
04:11
here
04:12
but most stories down here people didn’t
04:13
know as i shared those things they got
04:14
emotional it let people see a side of me
04:16
they didn’t understand before
04:18
then we found out the person was in our
04:19
books didn’t pay taxes for
04:21
a year and i found out that i owed like
04:23
250 000 payroll taxes and if i didn’t
04:25
pay it as soon as i go to jail so that
04:27
like really sucked too and i wanted to
04:29
quit and walk away but if i did i get
04:30
thrown in jail so i was like this is the
04:32
worst point ever
04:33
i got in this business i want to sell
04:34
stuff and now it’s like we have a team
04:35
like 2167 people
04:38
and it’s heavy on me like because of
04:40
this whole thing here i have a lot of
04:42
uh stress about times of just like man
04:44
if i screw up my job then there’s 260
04:46
people whose families go hungry like
04:48
that weighs heavy on me so i have a lot
04:49
of pressure
04:50
but same time like things are so good
04:51
it’s just it’s been awesome so i’d say
04:53
like right now i think it really helped
04:54
people understand where i’m coming from
04:56
why i do what i do and uh help people to
04:58
respect me and trust me at a different
04:59
level now after i was done they’d seen
05:01
the process and what they were supposed
05:02
to be doing
05:03
i gave everybody three minutes to get
05:04
their pad of paper out and to dry out
05:06
their timeline and to try to think
05:08
through all the core things
05:09
the ups and downs of their life not just
05:11
their business but their personal life
05:12
their relationships their family
05:14
and then after they’re finished we’d
05:15
everybody come up one at a time and do
05:17
their five-minute presentation
05:19
and it was interesting because again
05:20
some people were really excited to share
05:22
and some
05:22
i think i could have asked them to do
05:24
anything on this planet and they would
05:25
have been more happy than having to go
05:27
up and share in front of everybody but
05:28
it was cool because as people got up
05:29
there people who who i had been working
05:31
with for years people always had a
05:32
strong shield and always seemed
05:33
so invincible when they told their
05:35
stories as a group i cried and they
05:37
cried and
05:38
other people who who i always assumed
05:40
believed one thing or thought one thing
05:41
or whatever
05:42
i realized how much more diverse and how
05:43
much more exciting as a person that they
05:45
actually were and just
05:46
it opened my eyes to what our team was
05:48
you know i think we thought we were
05:48
gonna go for an hour and a half two
05:49
hours we ended up going most of the
05:51
night doing this
05:52
and nobody budged typically when you
05:54
meet somebody what they’ll do is they’ll
05:55
tell you their highlight reel right
05:57
their resume
05:57
i accomplish this and this and this and
05:59
this and so you have a chance to see
06:00
them at all the peaks of their life now
06:02
their peaks don’t really give you a good
06:03
view of who they actually are as a
06:04
person it just shows you what they’ve
06:06
accomplished
06:06
every human is so much more than that
06:09
typically these ups and downs aren’t
06:10
just
06:10
business right it’s what happened in
06:12
your family what happened in your
06:13
relationships a lot of people like to
06:14
share the highlight real but no one
06:15
likes to share
06:16
the valleys and when you share the
06:18
values and you become vulnerable it
06:19
gives people access to
06:21
things that made you who you are today
06:23
and by doing that
06:24
all of a sudden you start realizing that
06:26
this person ahead of you the person
06:27
that’s that’s presenting the person
06:28
you’re getting to know
06:29
you get a very uh holistic view of their
06:31
life and it helps you to have connection
06:33
with them at a level that i’ve never
06:34
experienced any time before
06:36
that wasn’t comfortable for anybody
06:37
right second thing i just want to um
06:40
let you guys know how grateful i am that
06:42
you all went through a whole bunch of
06:43
crap
06:43
all the crap down here is what made each
06:46
of you who you are today which made it
06:47
possible for you to be on this team and
06:48
like
06:49
after this event was done and people
06:50
flew back to their individual homes
06:52
and got back to work just the level of
06:54
compassion of understanding
06:56
of friendship had changed had shifted it
06:58
was like they had grown up with this
06:59
person their entire life and they knew
07:00
you know everything they’d gone through
07:01
and i think ever had more respect for
07:02
each other we watched
07:03
as the team grew closer together and
07:05
because of that the company started to
07:06
grow faster
07:18
so for any of you out there who are
07:19
trying to grow a team especially if
07:20
you’re the entrepreneur and you’re
07:21
pulling your hair out because you don’t
07:22
understand your team and why they’re
07:24
making decisions the way they are
07:25
i highly recommend taking a pause and
07:28
doing this activity with them now that
07:29
could mean
07:30
going renting an airbnb and flying
07:31
everyone together getting together and
07:33
actually doing it in person
07:34
or maybe just do it on zoom and get
07:35
everybody to zoom in and share their
07:37
timeline as well
07:37
either way it’s going to give you guys
07:39
understanding compassion and it’s going
07:40
to build you closer as a team
07:42
there’s no more powerful tool that i’ve
07:44
ever found than this to get to the heart
07:46
of exactly what your people care about
07:48
and when you understand that it changes
07:49
the entire dynamic of the team
07:51
