THE MINDSET SHIFT:
You donāt HAVE to; You GET to.
I arrived early to my meeting.
As I sat there at a local coffee shop on that beautiful Monday morning, I thought to myselfā¦.
Damn, I LOVE what I do.
Working with local small businesses, bringing value through payroll processing. š www.JOURNEYPAYROLLHR.com
Developing resources, and building community, to recognize more opportunity. š www.OPPOFLOW.com
Making an impact on others striving for growth, with a mindset shift towards success. š THE JUMP
I donāt HAVE to do any of it, but I GET to do all of it.
And to think back, none of this would be possible without being a sponge to learn more of whatās possible.
If I bailed on all the things I HAD to do, I wouldnāt be anywhere near where I am today without the PIVOTAL MOMENTS that I experienced, and the people Iāve met along the way, by doing all the things I GOT to do.
As a kid growing up, whenever there was something I had to do and really didnāt want to, just like any other kid, I would sayā¦
āBut, do I HAVE to?ā
My dad would then promptly respond withā¦
āNope, you GET to.ā
And there would be no way out of the thing my parents wanted me to do.
It would sometimes be so frustrating.
Especially if I REALLLLY didnāt want to do the thing. š
It wasnāt until I became an adult, did I realize the mindset my dad hadā¦
ā¦how he looked at every situation.
Heās a retired entrepreneur now, and put in A LOT of work over the years.
If I had to guess, my assumption would be thatā¦
ā¦there were many things that he didnāt really want to do either, but he got to do them, so he could continue building his own LEGACY.
He always looked at every situation as an opportunity toā¦
Remain positive.
Learn something new.
Get better at something.
Put a smile on someoneās face.
Take action and challenge yourself.
āBe a good human being.ā
āBe an asset to society.ā
Many times, we have to do things we donāt want to in order to achieve what we actually want.
To become a better version of ourselves to make a positive impact on others.
Switching your MINDSET from having to do something to looking at it as getting to do somethingā¦
ā¦is such a simple and underrated way of remaining positive.
Thereās power in keeping your perspective positive in all things, especially in the things you donāt always want to do, but know that you have get to. š
Let me give you a day in the life exampleā¦
You have to get up early.
Noā¦ You GET toā¦
For the opportunity to set the tone for your day.
š
You have to get a workout in.
Noā¦ You GET toā¦

The picture above will go into my LEGACY BOX.
This is from one of my first talksā¦
ā¦when the confidence really started to kick in.
These OPPO FLOW talks and workshops have become an identity for me and itās become my way of making a BIGGER IMPACT on others.
And I really donāt HAVE to do themā¦
I already have a successful payroll franchise in PHX. šµ
I could be good with thatā¦
But I GET to do them for the OPPORTUNITY to share stories and INSPIRE MILLIONS with a MINDSET SHIFT towards their own SUCCESS. š¤©
Thatās my PURPOSE.
To widen my reach and make an IMPACT on as many people as I can.
ONE ROOMā¦
ONE COMPANYā¦
ONE PERSONā¦
ā¦AT A TIME.
As my dad always saidā¦
āBe an asset to Society.ā
My ask for youā¦
Leverage this message to try looking at every situation in your life as a positive.
You donāt have to, but you GET to. š
This is the MINDSET SHIFT. š¤Æ
āThe only thing you sometimes have control over is perspective. You donāt have control over your situation. But you have a choice about your view it.ā
