Closing the 18-Inch Gap - EP004- The Rolex Watch-A Father Teaches His Son An Important Lesson

On today's podcast episode I'll be sharing a powerful story that I've read and illustrates the power of self-worth. It involves a Rolex watch, a father and a son. The father uses the watch as he tells his son to sell it to illustrate a very valuable lesson about worth. I go into the whole story in this podcast episode. The premise of it is about going where you're valued and not sticking around too long where you are not. As I have written in my book, Closing the 18-Inch Gap, in life you're either celebrated or tolerated but never both. It's up to you which one you want to choose. Many times, people are celebrated for the wrong reasons as well.

As these things occur, it could lead to a lot of mindset challenges and limiting beliefs. You belief in yourself goes down, your career goes down, your family life goes down, and everything else goes down with it. You must have the right tools and the right mindset to be able to overcome this. You should never make the mistake that others determine what your value is. Only you can do that. But you will never reach that point if you have the same limiting beliefs that got you there. Your belief system is at the root of this. You can only be valuable to the degree that you believe in yourself.

I also dive in this episode into four areas that are greatly influenced when it comes to your mindset. They are the following: family, school, faith community and work. There are many people that influence you through your life and I speak of high school teachers and college professors that did this in my life. Who has impacted you?

I also explain that faith community is optional. Not everyone has faith. And that's okay, no judgment for me. The important thing is that no matter where you go, you are valued. We are still talking about the repercussions of the pandemic and how that affected a lot of where we are today and what that does to your
self-esteem. So, I invite you to listen to this episode and explore your true value as I provide you with a better outlook, a better life, and a better future.
