00:00 [Music] hello folks thank you for tuning in or for tuning in again and this is episode number 281 the future do you really want to know yours I've been asked this question well over God I I I don't even know it's it's got to been you know over a hundred times in the last couple of years and uh yeah so I decided what the hell I i' try to you know to give an answer to this number one question concerning knowing about a person's future you see this is a very tricky thing and most people have only really

01:05 scratched the surface if they think it's simple and straightforward allow me to explain the truth is that most people don't really want you to tell them their future they actually want something else most people for example do not want to be told with they will die which I totally understand and I wouldn't want to be told when I was going to die either it's it kind of rains on the parade of a person's life don't you think so fortunately death is not something I can or want to predict but there are many other things

01:57 that I can and with about 80 to 90% accuracy which I believe is actually pretty good and though I don't predict damn winning lottery numbers that is the silliness of futurism something I have nothing to do with it is a swindler game I don't play but if you are interested in something real then keep listening what I'm talking about here is being able to give very Sound Advice it is intended to be completely positive in nature and as I just said it has an 80 to 90% accuracy rate still that's not

02:46 100% but I'm telling you that any Sound Advice proposing 100% accuracy is somehow crooked it's with two exceptions death and taxes but I'm predicting that you already knew that so am I going to tell you what exactly it is that I do or what the methodology is no of course not but I can tell you a bit about what it's not and then an analogy that should hopefully help you to better understand where I'm coming from what it is not is what I refer to as new AG woo woo pseudo scientific it has nothing to do with

03:47 energy Fields chakras numerology astrology Reiki reflexology Shadow People the Grays Bigfoot Zoro astonis alternative Dimensions the Thin Man astro Projection tarot cards remote viewing Ouija boards or any form of spirituality or religion what so ever so here's the analogy please stick with me to the end a lot of people don't know this the process for collecting new professional basketball players begins at the high school and college levels and by the time it has reached the college level there are two primary

04:43 analyzing metrics that are used to determine which players are actually going to go to the pros the two analyzing metrics are not only the physical makeup of the player but the psychological as well that is to say how well and quickly the mind and body work together for that particular sport to put it simply there are plenty of young men that are tall enough and they are they even you know possess the proper body mass let's say okay but if they are too ungainly if they are simply just a bit too awkward or you know

05:30 clumsy the researchers know that that is something they are most likely not going to grow out of and they know that's because they have a great deal of analytical tools to measure this as well as a great deal of historical data I hope that so far you've been able to follow this now I'm going to tell you how unfortunately all this research and analytics being applied to our future potential professional basketball player can completely fly off the rails you'll remember what I said earlier about offering very Sound Advice

06:20 that is 80 or 90% accurate well let me just briefly go back to the potentially professional basketball ball player to illustrate now once players have gotten to a certain level in college ball and uh you know the powers that be they start doing all this analyzing and scrutinizing they're making a major investment in time and money and like any other business investors don't like to see their Investments fail so let's say our guy does make it to the pros and he's fantastic doing everything they hoped he

07:08 would do and then some his future looks really great then after just one or two seasons disaster strikes because he is so young he can have a tendency to do what we all have done when we were young and stupid make really bad decisions in this case he went out on the town partying he got very intoxicated lost control of his vehicle while driving at very excessive speed hit another vehicle and killed three people not to mention serious bodily career ending injury to himself so this is what I meant by the very Sound Advice

08:00 being 80 or 90% accurate there are things in life that are simply beyond our control you can give the best advice in the world but if that advice goes unheated or if they wait it too long it can fail and then there is also the possibility that absolutely by no fault of their own just simple bad luck such as being in the wrong place at the wrong time things can still go wrong now I'm not in any way trying to be pessimistic I am simply saying that for example a person with very valuable information doesn't want things thrown back at them

08:49 if unknown and unpredictable bad things happen they wouldn't want to hear well you told me this or you told me that now look what's happened to give Just One Last example let's say I was a stock broker which I'm not and I wanted to give some very good advice to a client concerning a particular stock I don't work in stocks or Investments either I could say to them this is a very stable and Rock Solid investment the overwhelming odds are that you're you know you're going to do really

09:33 well but there is also a 20% chance that you will lose your entire investment with no recourse even the you know if the investor is incapable of understanding this and they ended up losing their entire investment and became angry at the stock broker I believe most people would consider that investor to be an idiot I know I would so to wrap things up at this point you're probably wondering what the hell does this have to do with taking and talking about a person's you know future the whole point of this was to

10:18 illustrate that just because some person for example May believe that their future is to own a restaurant that because they may have had some rudimentary experience working in a restaurant have the money for the project and feel that it is their calling in life to own a restaurant doesn't make it so and the statistics for new business failures particularly restaurants within the first two years seem to back up what I'm saying now had any of those people who were hellbent on opening a restaurant had sound advice and with that Sound

11:09 Advice they would have been told that there was a huge conflict between their personality and their skill set and a restaurant is the absolute worst business for them they should open and they actually took that advice all that time time and money that ended up in Failure could have been avoided this of course is just a small example and your desires for what you want to see in your future are as individual as you are I am just the 300 lb gorilla in the in the room here waiting to offer some sound advice please do hit the Subscribe and
