[00:01 – 12:00] Introducing Julio to the Show

  • Julio’s most embarrassing moment
  • Julio’s story and clutch moment

 

[12:01 – 24:42] How To Harness The Power Of Focus And Limit Distractions

  • Julio’s biggest lesson learned
  • Stay humble
  • Must have people around you that you trust…DO NOT DO IT SOLO
  • There’s two ways to learn things – MISTAKES and MENTORS
  • LEARN, be a student…don’t just take people’s advice
    • Can’t just be one-dimensional in life (all your eggs in your craft basket) – people who are 1-dimensional get hurt more often by their blindspots
    • Must be literate with money, faith, relationships, etc.
    • To know what you know, and to know what you don’t know is to KNOW – this is all about self-awareness

 

[24:43 – 34:56] The Four Disciplines Julio Employs To Manage Pressure

  • PRAYER – the man that stays on his knees (in prayer) will always be able to stand on his feet
  • GET YOUR MIND RIGHT – constantly feed your mind the RIGHT information, and the RIGHT self-talk (what goes in, must come out)
  • Wake up every day in GRATITUDE
  • SURRENDER
    • Solve problems
    • Lead with purpose
    • Serve people
    • Bring the energy

 

[34:57 – 43:00] How To Stay On Top Of Your Money With So Much Going On Around You

  • Get a financial advisor
  • Give – you can never go broke being generous
  • Have a budget
  • STUDY – You can never exhaust your capacity to grow and learn…it’s something you can take to the grave.
  • Talk to people who have way more money than you 
  • Everybody wants money, but most people don’t want to respect it. You’ll never have access to something you don’t respect. 
  • Julio’s Golden Rules
    • Don’t get involved in anything you don’t understand or control
    • Don’t get involved in something just because a bunch of your friends did – ALWAYS do your due diligence…1.) UNDERSTAND THE DEAL and 2.) look at the DOWNSIDE first, then the UPSIDE
