Before I even decided to do the show, the first person I talked to was my wife.
To view this email as a web page, [click here]() {NAME}, Before I even decided to do the show, the first person I talked to was my wife. When I got the email from Netflix, my jaw dropped and I showed it to her. Should I do this? Am I ready? What if I look stupid? She was the first person to encourage me that I could do it. Then I found a lawyer. I wrote about how I found him in an earlier email. Heâs a seasoned entertainment lawyer and he functions as an advisor. He was extremely helpful in helping me understand how deal points work. At one point I joked with him, asking when I get the Oprah jet money. He didnât respond to my text. My CEO Council gave me some unexpected advice. I belong to a CEO Council of friends who are ~10 years older than me. They suggested some business stuff, but they really challenged me to think about deeper questions: Assuming the show was successful, how would it change my life? How would it change my relationship with my wife? They encouraged me to ask her how she wanted to be a part of this life-changing decision. Would she be OK if I traveled for months shooting it? What if I got recognized 20x a day? How could I make this something she was a part of instead of something that happened to her? This was profound advice from my group that Iâm so appreciative for getting. I met a friend for advice on my pitch. Before I made the pitch to Netflix, I worked with a talented group of creative people at [Studio Lambert]() to develop the show. I wanted to practice my pitch before we made it to Netflix, so I asked around. One of my friends introduced me to Wes, another showrunner whoâd developed and run game shows for major networks. He was so generous in giving me detailed feedback on my pitch. At one point, he said, âThis is a lot. Iâd recommend cutting it down by about 80%.â In life, if you want to be good, you crave honest feedback. He was so helpful, and helped me refine the pitch, along with Studio Lambert, so it was ready for pitching to Netflix. I hired a media training firm. Around 2009, I asked my publisher to send me to media training. They said, âWhy? We think youâre good.â I thought I was good, but before I went on a 13-city book tour, I wanted to be great. This time, more than a decade later, I wanted to fine-tune my skills before I went on an international show in front of 220 million people. Again, I hired [The Clarity Media Group](). They sent a trainer, John J., whoâs worked in Hollywood for many years, a great guy. We sat down and he pulled out his laptop and started walking through the lesson. I stopped him and said, âListen, Iâve trained with Clarity before and Iâm a pro. I have a list of 13 specific questions I want answered. Can we skip the presentation?â He looked at me, shut his laptop, and smiled. Any teacher knows the joy of working with a student who comes prepared. I wanted to know what to expect when I walk in someoneâs house, an incredibly intimate moment. What happens if someone cries? How do I handle a couple thatâs fighting in front of me? I wanted to respect the opportunity I was given and the people who were putting their trust in me. John at Clarity did an awesome job. I highly recommend the firm. I set a very specific fitness goal. I knew the kind of shape I wanted to be in for the show. I made a plan with my trainer, [Daniel Hammaecher](), based around the approximate date I was going to start shooting. The problem was, the shoot date kept slipping, which makes it hard to hit a specific fitness goal. But who cares? Life changes, you deal with it. We started training and I added on about mass (muscle + fat), then cut 15lbs to be ready for the show. We did this all slowly and steadily over many months. Danny, my trainer, programmed my macros, adjusted my training, and kept me focused on the goal. Iâve changed my diet to hit my wedding goals before, so I was used to this. The hard part was the changing dates and traveling to Europe for a month while eating croissants...but you gotta live life. The most hilarious part was getting fitted for clothes that I obviously couldnât fit into yet, but knowing I would in 2 months. More on this in a future email. My goal with this is showing how much preparation goes into a project like this. I was so lucky in so many parts of my career â including landing this show! â but excellence is also a habit. When I meet people who want to start a business, or begin investing, or even get into an amazing relationship, I love people who take it seriously! Your Rich Life is serious! Itâs important. I want you to put the work in to get amazing results. Itâs always been worth it for me, even when I failed.
