THE BELLWETHER FEATURES
in my partnership style, I’m hardest to those closest to me. I don’t give them the same “Rah-Rah” as I do people moving up and I’ve noticed that about myself. I know I can rely on them and they can rely on me but a weakness I have is sometimes not taking enough time for the people that were the real leaders and giving them the shirt off my back. I do it for everyone else, but I am just more aware of it now. I’ve been made aware of it and it’s a big area of improvement I can make. With people management, you really have to take stock and be flexible. Michael: Interesting, interesting, you know a lot of young people out in the world they define success by the amount of money that you’ve made or how well known you are or something like that. I think you have a much different definition for success. You know, could you say up to now, I know you’re not done, but with all your accomplishments and achievements to this point could you say you’re living the dream that you always imagined? Eric: I would say Yes, and that the dream just continues. Like for instance, meeting other elite like minded people. I’ve been around the block like you have, it's gonna be hard to fake me out and I got that eye, okay. You know, meeting
someone like the Viceroy. I think, of all the people I’ve made healthy, it's kind of a universal payback you know? When I meet someone like that who thrills me and excites me with his knowledge, that I can obviously learn from and the opportunity that someone like that has given me. I’m just starting to dream. This next 5-10 years will probably be a legacy. That’s what I’m excited about. Certainly, looking back at the letters that I received from the members whose lives we did change. That's success to me. Just thinking how many people we made healthy. THOUSANDS! We are more important than doctors. We are pre-disease. So I think the industry I chose was the right one for me. I have had great successes, ups and downs and I love to teach people that having passion, about how to juice it, how to go 110%, how to be so infectious that your team just wouldn’t change their job. Like I said, Paul McCartney couldn’t have had me join his group. If I can attain that I’m doing it right.
go for. I regret that much more than the ones I went for that didn’t work out the way I thought or hoped they would. Because when I went for them, I tried my best. I used all the info and data that I had and if it didn’t work out and there’s many reasons, right, then so be it. But the ones that I hesitated, I chickened out or ego wasn’t high enough or blah blah blah those are the ones that… arrgggghhhhh! Michael: You know, it’s funny. There’s no shortage of opportunities out here. You just laid it out, just like that, “I had this amount of success with what I have done but it’s the things that I haven’t done”, and people, especially younger people, they don’t recognize that the opportunities are out there if you just grab it and run with it and don’t be scared of failing. Eric: Yes and work on getting your own vibe, your own energy, your own body, your hair, your beard in your case [Michael], your clothes, your shoes, your watch, your dog, your bicycle, get whatever it is to its best, highest level. So when that opportunity does come, you jump! As soon as that crack opens you’re there, in like a warrior. Your sword is ready to cut, it’s sharp on both sides. You are totally prepared, because you can get dull, you can get weak and out of shape and that opportunity comes and then you're not ready. At that moment you have to go 100%. You have to get yourself back. I know mentally it’s not that easy when you don’t have something coming in to stay at your best, do that extra rep, do the extra 5 mins, stop the carbs, whatever it is. Yeah, I get it. But
Michael: Would you change anything?
Eric : You know we all say I wouldn’t because where I am now, but the truth is…HELL YEAH! (Laughter) Michael: Of course we would, but we would probably mess it all up. (Laughter) Eric: You don’t have enough days for me to go into all that. One of the common themes of that, are regrets of the things that I didn’t
