George:  Alright, everybody. Welcome back to another episode of the money. The George show a free for all Friday and the mind of Georgie belongs in a straight jacket, but luckily podcasting lets me share it with you. And speaking of straight jackets on the mind, I have to give a proper intro to my friend who was on the podcast today.I am super stoked to have Michael Bernoff wrote a book called average sucks and basically helps businesses and people. Optimize their life move from where they are to where they want to go and helps people like me that have struggled with self sabotage and mind blocks and past traumas, get through them and realize that we don't have to be a victim of our past.And that in every moment we get to choose where we go with all the tools, situations, and some of the best energy without the creepy hand clapping that I've ever seen when it comes to personal development. So without further ado, I'd like to welcome my friend, Michael, to the show. Michael. Good to see you, man.Michael: I appreciate it, brother. You'll be zero hound. Like that's all you get is handclap clap, like right there. That's the creepiest creepy as we get George. So it's exciting to be here. I appreciate the invite. Let's change some wine. George:  I'm stoked. And we were, we were overdue for a catchup, everybody. So I just said, get on the podcast and we'll just catch up there and we'll tell it a day.And so Michael, the first question. This kind of kicks everything off for everybody on my show. But when you think back, you've been in this game for a long time, you've been doing personal vellum. You've been doing business, you've been doing high level coaching. You just been helping people transform their lives. But when you look back and reflect on yours and Debra's journey, what was the biggest mistake that you ever made? And what did you learn from it? Michael: Interesting. Biggest mistake overall, or the one that I keep on making that I'm looking to get out of. I mean, which one I'll go, I'll go either direction, Number one is hiring myself. That's it? That's the biggest mistake I made in business is looking for me has been the biggest mistake I've made over the years. I kept on. I kept on bringing on people. I like, I enjoy, I want to hang out with their might buddies. They're my peers. And it was probably the biggest mistake I ever made.And I caught onto this after watching the, the men who built America that show. And I watched that Carnegie had brought on again in Frick, who was the absolute opposite of him. It took me eight years. And probably cost me half a million dollars in salaries and different things over the years, bringing on high level people that are identical to me that were not the opposite of me.And that's been my biggest mistake. I'd say in business, one of the hardest things that I've had to work on getting over is finding the missing link instead of finding a companion as crazy as it sounds.George: I'd say a really good one. And so what's the one you keep making over and over.Michael: You know, what's interesting is every time and we do really, really well, which is all the time, right?We get to this point where we've got this little chunk of this little chunk of space and time and meaning like we've got extra time, we've got extra money, we're in a good spot, which is predominantly my life where we can get this little bit of extra. I get this feeling every once in a while, but I could buy my problem away, meaning that I can hire a person.I can get it thing and do it. Instead of, I realize that I've got to do that myself. So I'm not saying you can't grow, you can't scale, you can't hire. But I'm just saying a lot of times when I get comfortable, have found that I looked four and I'm way beyond the normal comfort of people. But yeah, I find that I want to get to the next level and I think of it as throw money at it or throw something at it.I can make it go away. Instead of realizing that I got to put a little pi
