Jon Dwoskin:

What advice would you give college kids who have recently graduated? And what advice would you give somebody who has an idea and doesn't know what to do with it?

Brett Swarts:

Sure, for the first one, it’s learning to work harder on yourself than you do on your job we're taught to go to school and get a degree, and to graduate and to have that, but it's so focused on just education and or just sports or just getting that and then you attain that, but really, I think the value of education is teaching you how to learn and also help you to accomplish a goal. But more than that, focus your attention now on learning to work harder on yourself than you do on your job. Learn to work harder on yourself than you do on attaining this new job. Work harder on yourself. And then whatever this is for you? If you work hard at your job, you'll make a living, and that's totally fine. But if you work harder on yourself, you'll make a fortune. And this is not by me, this is by a gentleman named Jim Rohn, who's much, much wiser, and he passed away. But he's amazing, and so the idea is to work on your health, your finances, your personal development, your leadership, your spiritual law, your relationship with your friends and family. Also, your career, also your education, these are kind of the seven, eight major areas of your life. And so make sure you're spending major time on those major things. Don't just focus on just getting that job, the job will come to continue to add the value of growing yourself and buy out of that people, and the world's going to need you and make sure you're focused on your highest and best gifts too. You know, that's another thing I think I've learned along the years, like when you're in your sweet spot, and you're focused on your gifts, that's when you can be the biggest blessing to the world. So I believe we've all been given these God-given gifts and the top one or two are given to us to bless others. When we focus on developing those strengths, developing those gifts, and using that to bless others, that's where everything comes into play. So you won't have to worry about automation or you have to worry as much you know, worry about having a career because you're gonna be adding value beyond that, but you've got to focus on that.
