Excuses Are the Enemy of Legacy!

[00:00:00] Kids won't remember what you meant to do because in your heart you know, you know what you feel and you're like well I know what I feel in my heart but they'll copy what we do consistently. They'll copy what we did consistently. Uh, no. Ooh, that's better right babe? Yeah! Yeah.

[00:00:28] She founded an architectural concrete company. He founded a hundred million dollar clothing company. She took the world by storm as a social media star. He took the world by storm as a famous serial entrepreneur. Together we started a business. And had babies. Now we're figuring out the best ways to do both. Join us as we learn from other entrepreneurs going through the same life struggles. As they share their life hacks about success, love, kids. And everything in between.

[00:00:57] Benjamin Franklin once said, He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else. Don't sit down and wait for the opportunities to come. Get up and make them! Called by Madam C.J. Walker. Welcome back to the Entrepreneur Parents Pretty and Punk Podcast. My name is Dan Caldwell. I'm your host today along with my beautiful wife. Ildiko Ferenci.

[00:01:27] So good to see you again. Thank you guys for joining us. I really appreciate it. And we got something important that we think is important for you to listen to that you need to hear. And we're talking about the victim mindset and how it sneaks into your life and your parenting and your marriage and your business. And how making those excuses can hurt your children. Because they hear it. They hear what you're talking about. And you can't blame, you can blame your past.

[00:01:57] Or you can build your future but you can't do both. But before we jump into that. Hey guys, we hope you're enjoying today's episode of the Pretty and Punk Podcast.

[00:02:55] And we're so proud and grateful to have you a part of this family. So don't forget all the links are below in the show notes. And thank you again. And let's get back to the show. Can we just talk about this right now? That excuses are the enemy of legacy. And your kids don't inherit your intentions. You may want to do certain things or say you're going to do certain things.

[00:03:24] But the truth is that they're going to inherit your actions. And that's the dangerous part is that you may have a golden heart. You may have golden intentions. But if you're not practicing that, it's going to run down. And it's going to be the chain that continues on. And that's what this episode is about. It's about breaking the chain. And I really want to speak to the person listening right now who feels behind. Who says, I wasn't raised right.

[00:03:54] I've been through too much. I'm doing my best. And I just want to let you know that I believe in you. We believe in you. And I believe that that may perhaps be the actual cause to the mindset of what's going on. But you need to break that thought. And of course, we've all been through a lot.

[00:04:21] And perhaps you're really dealing with the, what is it called? Like the aftermath of what you've gone through in your life. There's no doubt about that. But here's the truth. Excuses are going to become comfort. It's going to feel like comfort. And they create orphans out of your potential. And they make it a crutch. Yeah, exactly. And your children aren't asking for the perfect parents.

[00:04:48] So just erase that off the slate. Get that out of your head. They're begging to see someone brave enough to grow. They want to see you grow. And if you choose to rise, they won't have to recover from the wounds that you passed on. And this is how the chains are broken. This may be one of our most important episodes because we're confronting the giant in the room.

[00:05:16] And I love the simplicity too of making excuses because so many of us, I mean, I know, me included. I'm not going to take myself out of this. We all make excuses for things that we do. And sometimes we don't even mean to. You know, it's like, and I think we were just talking about this when we were talking about another podcast offline. We didn't actually, I didn't actually say it in the podcast. So I'll say it now. But, you know, men's men don't really have intrinsic values.

[00:05:46] So there's a there's something to men don't when when when something is going wrong in our life, even though we should be taking responsibility for anything that's happening in our family's lives. That's our job as men as leaders, even in a company, you know, supplies to business to even in a company or how you're dealing with your children.

[00:06:08] We have a problem with admitting that there's a problem because our only value is being a leader in the family. That's our that's our value as men. That's what we bring to the table. And if we're failing in that department, then we're basically saying that we're not worthy. We're not needed. We're not a necessity. And we're not doing our job.

[00:06:36] And so it's really hard for men to step up to that plate and say, I'm making a mistake. I'm not doing my job. I did. I made a choice and it wasn't the right choice. Because when we say that, we're we're basically discarding ourselves.

[00:06:55] And you can't think that way because here's the problem with that line of thinking is that your family will respect the fact that you are putting it back together, that you realize you've made a mistake. You realized what you did didn't work. And now we're going to get it right. Yeah. You're you're stepping up to go. We it didn't work right. I said the wrong thing. I shouldn't have done that.

[00:07:24] This is what I should have did. And this is what we are going to do. They respect that. And we don't realize that in the moment. And we need to start realizing that we need to start taking responsibility for that and accountability for that. Right. Right. And a lot of people. Let's just identify the victim mindset. It's the belief that that you're a victim rather than believing that life is or you're believing that life is happening to you instead of for you.

[00:07:52] I think that that is a big mindset shift when you believe that it's happening for you because you can go through the hardest things. And I love it when people interview those those prisoners that were held in the Auschwitz. Auschwitz. Yeah. And the camp. A lot of the ones that came through and made it through all the the horrific things that they experienced. They have this this belief that they were going to make it through.

[00:08:22] They have this belief that the gratitude of the things that they could count. Maybe it's perhaps looking back on the past or that wishful thinking that they were going to be reunited with their family or just one more day. Just one more day. I can hang on for one more day. It was their mindset that kept them alive. And this is scientifically proven. So if you believe that it's happening for you or once you get out, you're going to be able to change the world in some way. And this is the worst case scenario.

[00:08:50] But you've got to understand that the mindset, there was something to it by the way that they were raised. We can't be blaming our parents, our partner, circumstances or or even economy right now. And in parenting, you know, a lot of people say, oh, the reason I'm a bad parent is because I didn't have a good example. This just becomes justification for repeating generational wounds. And that's not fair to the children.

[00:09:16] And in marriage, of course, what Dan was talking about, avoiding responsibility and deflecting your impact. Well, that's not going to do anything for marriage. So you need to understand how the excuse habit grows. And it starts with simple things like saying these things out loud. I'm tired or I wasn't taught this. That becomes an identity of I'm just not good at that.

[00:09:41] You want to just erase that stuff from your vocabulary because that identity creates your ceiling and your kids are going to absorb it. The one I'm working on right now is like, guys, and I'm sure you can relate to this, right? That's woman's work? The one I'm working on. That's a woman's job. Listen, no. What is it? What are you talking about? That's a chick thing? I never said that. I don't say that. Yes, you do. I'm joking. I'm joking. I hope so. Okay. I hope so.

[00:10:11] No, but like when you'll point out something. All chicks are the same. You know, who dropped this or how did this get on the ground? And I'm like, I didn't do it. Oh my gosh. And now the kids are. It wasn't me. But our kids are really amazing. And I know I did. I don't think I did it. I'm sure I'm not the one who did it. Our children are amazing because Dustin will be like, I did it, but I just don't feel like cleaning it up right now. At least she's honest. I said, well, I'll help you.

[00:10:40] No, but I mean, like when there's something in the, that happened that maybe any of us could have did, but none of us know if we did it or not. You know, it's like one of those things that could have happened accidentally, but I'm always, I find myself saying, you know, I had nothing to do with it. Why you blame me? Right. You know, instead of, Hey, I was here. Nobody else was here. You know, there's kids in the house. It's like, what am I going to do? Blame it on the kids?

[00:11:08] Like I need to not, I need to not. I know. Like you need, no, when I don't take responsibility, I'm essentially blaming it on the kids. Excuses kill momentum, right? Legacy requires action. I have a habit of doing that. I don't know why, where that comes from, but I don't want to be blamed. Like I didn't do it. I'm not the one who spilled it. You know, it's the kid in me. That's funny. It's got to be some kind of childhood wound. It's like my mom walked in the room and she's, and she's going, who made this mess?

[00:11:37] And I'm like, I didn't do it. And it's funny because when I noticed that even in our relationship, like it's a big deal, like you, and I'm like, I'm not trying to argue. I just want to talk this out. I want to understand why this is happening. And then that's when the stonewalling happens. Like I'm going to have to put my arm out there and my hands can get chopped off or something. But the truth is, but the truth is right.

[00:12:02] As I said, excuses kill momentum, momentum of, of your relationship getting better. You getting closer. Cause I feel like when their excuses come up, it's like, well, is this relationship even worth it? And I, as I said, legacy requires action, not the explanation. I don't care about the explanation, why you left it up, but left it out or, or whatever was done. We need to just resolve it. Every excuse is a delay.

[00:12:30] I feel in building what, what could outlive you even like just something so small. It becomes this gestational. Well, that's, that's what I'm worried about. I'm worried about it affecting my kids. The kids, yes. The kids won't remember what you meant to do. Cause in your heart, you know, you know what you feel and you're like, well, I know what I feel in my heart, but they'll copy what we do consistently. They'll look, copy what we did consistently.

[00:12:58] Well, because I'm better at taking responsibility for big things, the bigger things. I have no problem with that. Like, you know, some failed. No, it's the small things that, that I, for whatever reason, the little things that I have a problem with that all something inside of me, just from my gut. See, and you got to fight it because it's, it's really not a, it's not a big deal. And I get so nervous.

[00:13:27] I realize when I do it, that it's not a good thing. But if you raise your kids right where I feel like Daniel, he listens to a lot of self-help and relationship and he's around our coaching and our community. He can identify things. I remember there was this one time he goes, is that, is that princess, princess treatment or something? I can't even, you're looking at me so funny. What are you talking about?

[00:13:55] But he'll identify like childhood wounds. He's like, oh, he just wants princess treatment. What? Oh my gosh. It's so funny. Oh dear. I do remember something like that. Yeah, I do remember that. He's so funny like that. He's like, and then that, and then I'm like, find myself defending myself against my son. Like, what are you talking about? Are you princess treatment? Talk to your dad like that. It's so funny. Like princess treatment. No, it's not. No, no, no.

[00:14:24] I'm going to defend myself. No, see. And it's like, I don't know where that comes from. It's not a big deal. It's easy to fix. The first part is awareness. Yes. You have to have that self-awareness. If you don't have that self-awareness that you're doing these things, you can't, you can't grow. Right, right. Get past it. Right. Because people with, and this isn't a bad thing, guys. If you have this, and we all have it in some way. It's not, we don't want to make it the villain or you the villain.

[00:14:52] It's just something to, hey, this is something that I do, and I should change this. Because people with fixed mindsets, they stay stuck in excuses. Oh, but there's bad food around, and I was just hungry, or whatever it may be. Growth mindset individuals, they take ownership, and they learn, and they expand, and they have self-discipline. And leaders who deflect blame cause team collapse.

[00:15:18] In families, this becomes emotional chaos, and we want to avoid that at all costs if we can. And Jocko's book, Extreme Ownership, is probably one of the best books I've ever read on that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And it really is a great book. It'll help kill the dumb mindset. I mean, for the guys. Oh, let's list that. Let's remember. Yeah, because it's such a good book, and the fact that he's a SEAL, and you get a couple SEAL stories out of it makes it even better. And he has a kid's book, so we'll relist that, too. Yeah, I don't know. He's a children's. Yes.

[00:15:48] No, I know he does, but I can't remember if there's an ownership piece in there, like Extreme Ownership piece. It's every, it's full mindset. I'm sure it does, because that's what he's known for, so I'm sure that's part of what his children's books are about, too. Yes. If you haven't read that book, it's a must-read. It's a must-read. It's probably one of the best books out there. So if you can, just put this in your notes if you're not driving, or write this down. So just really importantly, rather than why me, because maybe you don't say it out loud,

[00:16:18] but you're even just saying it in my head, like, why me, or why this, or ugh. It's what now? What can we do? How can we resolve this? Because you can go on and on and on about the problem, but what can you do to change the situation moving forward? Forgive your past, but stop using it as a permission slip to stay stuck. You know, don't, oh, it's my father's fault, or my mother's fault.

[00:16:44] Like, whatever it was that happened to you, and it could be devastating, you know, as we were talking about earlier. Some of those people, they went through a living hell, but they didn't give it, they didn't give themselves a permission slip to stay stuck, because once you start thinking ugly thoughts, it's really not good for your heart, for your body, for your cells. So take small daily actions, micro changes proves that you're no longer powerless, and

[00:17:13] you're giving yourself power through this. And that's the 30,000 foot view, you know, those things that you make excuses over your life, or, you know, this is the reason why I'm here, this is the reason why I got no money, it's the reason why, you know, my business failed or whatever, but there's also the smaller, the smaller choices that you make, the choices where, you know, I didn't, your wife comes

[00:17:37] home, or you're, or you get home from, and you forgot something at the, at the grocery store. I'm just making up something small. And you're like, well, I didn't have time, or I shouldn't, it's those little things. That's where it starts for me is, like I said, I don't have any problem with the big stuff. If something failed, I'm no problem with that. But this little things is where you start. Those are the things that I'm working on. Those are the things that we all do in our daily lives.

[00:18:07] And that's a great place to start. Yeah. Start there. That's right. Take responsibility. Everything on your shift, especially men, I'm talking to men, everything that happens in your life is your responsibility. Everything that happens in your family's life is your responsibility. You're the leader of the house. It's your job to make sure that everything is running right. And if something happens on that shift, it's your responsibility. Yeah. Listen up friends. You don't want to miss this one.

[00:19:58] Spots are limited. If you feel that tug on your heart, don't wait. Message us right now at contact at prettyandpunk.com. That's contact at prettyandpunk.com. And definitely take inventory of how you react to things. It could be a small things. And if you're exploding or you find yourself, you know, getting somewhat into a violent

[00:20:24] lane, you just have to really, really be careful because your children will mimic exactly how we handle failure or something that we don't agree with or pressure or responsibility. They're going to mimic that, and they're going to replicate that. And that's childhood trauma, and it's going to come. So you need to let them hear something along the lines of that didn't go, that didn't do well, but, or sorry, that I didn't do that well. I didn't handle that well.

[00:20:54] But this is how I should have done it, and I'm going to really put all efforts into to do it better because I'm not saying I'm perfect. Sometimes I get emotional, like, oh, I get frustrated. And then right away, I'll talk to the kids. And it might be my own thing, but my kids are around. I know they're not. I know they can see and hear from the top of the house or the bottom of the house, wherever

[00:21:23] we are, and I will go to them because I'm a mother. This is my responsibility. Yes, I have to deal with whatever just happened, but I go to them. And if it's my actions, or perhaps it's even your actions, and you're not ready, I feel like you have a harder time to do this action than me. I'll say, Daddy didn't handle that very well, or Mommy didn't handle this very well, but this is how it should have been.

[00:21:49] And I really hope that you can learn from this and take the things that you love and use that in your own family. But sometimes you're going to notice things that you don't love or don't like. And I learned this from my mom. She would say, if I'd ever start complaining about something, because there was times when I was young, and I was like, oh, but Dad's not around. Everybody else has a dad. And you have to work so hard. And it's just not fair.

[00:22:18] And she says, listen, learn from this. Take what you love and avoid what you don't love. Avoid what you hate. Do it differently. Let's figure out a way where you can do it differently. And it would really just shut my complaining up rather than, yeah, I can't believe that your dad did this. Like, she would never do that. She would never say, oh, it's because I don't have money from your dad, because it doesn't matter. Truly.

[00:22:46] It doesn't matter if he was or wasn't paying child support. If he was paying child support, then she would say, oh, great. That's awesome. This is wonderful. I don't have to work so hard. But he wasn't paying child support. Well, then she figured out a way. There was a way. There was always a solution. And she was so good with that. And I want to remind you guys, this is the mindset of how we grew up. I remember this one time driving home. It was my brother and I and my mom, the three of us in the car.

[00:23:14] It was beautiful, sunny day. Everything was wonderful. And my mom just broke out. Her eyes were getting watery. My mom doesn't really cry. She's a strong European woman. So I knew something was wrong. I could see her in the rearview mirror. Her eyes were getting a little bit flooded. David was sitting in the front. And she goes, I'm so sorry. I only made $5 today. And her voice was getting a little cracky. And I looked at my brother.

[00:23:43] Because obviously, as a child, a little girl, just a tiny little thing. I'm trying to see, is this safe? What's going on? Oh, my gosh. This is this bad. Is this good? I could see this big smile crack out of David's face. And he laughs. He goes, that's perfect. That's wonderful. You did such a good job. Can't remember the exact words anymore. But I'll never forget the feeling. So happy. We have money for milk and bread. And then all of a sudden, her, she just cracks up. She's saying, you're right.

[00:24:13] Thank you, God. We have enough money for milk and bread. This isn't an everyday thing. We knew that this was going to change. But that just lifted up the spirit in the car. Where she could have gone on, I can't believe what your dad did to us. And my brother, yeah, he sucks. Like, no, it was never, ever woe is me. Yeah, that's a victim mentality. Never. Never. No. It doesn't matter what happens. Because you guys just end up piling it on top of each other. And you're giving yourself an excuse to not do anything. To not be in a good mood.

[00:24:43] You're making yourself not in a good mood. Or we have to go on welfare now. Oh, terrible. No, you don't. There's things. It's going to be a harder ride. But let me tell you this. Guess where I went when I graduated? I went to Paris. I went to London. I went to Hungary. Like, we worked our buns off together as a family. And we did more than the rich community in our neighborhood because we worked so hard together. We created a legacy. That's where I went.

[00:25:13] My principal was I graduated with honors. And he didn't write this on everybody's report card because we were kind of just comparing. And W.J. Perry. Perry was his last name. If he's ever listening, I love you. And I can't believe that he wrote this. He said, if you ever need a personal letter or like any, I can't remember the exact words,

[00:25:42] but he said, a personal reference. Here's my personal phone number. I will give you a reference. And I'm going to tell you, honestly, I hated school, but I will never forget that moment when I was eight years old and I came home with a bad report card and my mom was in tears. And she told me that I risked everything to come to Canada, to come here, to give you a good life.

[00:26:12] I went through so much. This means so much to you and your life and your future. And I really didn't believe like I got so much more value working in the store. But for everything she sacrificed, all of a sudden my mindset changed. And I knew I had to be very serious about school, even though I hated it. I felt like I wasn't getting value. I would never, mommy, I'm never going to use this stuff, but I'm going to do it for you.

[00:26:41] And I'll never forget that the principal wrote that for me. And then together as a family, we went to go celebrate. Sadly, David wasn't there. And we did a lot of memory and stuff in his memory, but we went to Europe every year. We went to the Okanagan also. We went to Harrison Hot Springs. We went to the best places because our mindset was different. So as I'm saying this, not to brag or not to, because it's not.

[00:27:10] It wasn't easy. It was very hard. But you don't have to become the chains. You can break them. And in my family, I'll remember the things that I didn't like growing up. It was harder for us. If we would have had a male figure there permanently, it just would have been easier and more, what do you say, like, just more enjoyable with another person. We didn't notice it, that it wasn't there.

[00:27:38] You didn't know what you were missing, but you were missing something. You were missing something. And luckily, your mom was strong enough for both of them. I don't want to be that strong. I don't ever want to be that strong. I don't wish it on her. She shouldn't have had to have been that strong. Right. But she was. And in this world, sometimes you have to be. The world isn't easy. Life isn't easy. And it's not going to treat you with gloves on. No.

[00:28:03] We should mention that, you know, social media doesn't make this any easier, right? Because it's always giving us excuses. It's they have this and they have that. And why can't we do this too? You know, we're comparing ourselves. I just saw a great little video that somebody made. And it's showing this parent holding two kids, you know, one on each side and trying to run. And this and the other parent is running as fast as they can.

[00:28:31] And it says the caption is stop comparing yourself to single people because you're going through. You know, we're comparing ourselves. People are making and not that we should use it as an excuse either that we have kids. That's not the point. No, it's almost more fire. Don't make the excuse. Just don't make the excuse. Right. I agree.

[00:28:56] And we shouldn't be comparing ourselves to people that are single. We should be comparing ourselves to ourselves. Yeah. Are we doing better every year? Or find someone in your lane that you can relate to and inspire each other. But don't, yeah, don't look at the person. Yeah, it's about inspiring, I guess. Don't look at the person that you were 15 years ago. And we had an episode, and maybe we'll link it about that, is falling into the purpose,

[00:29:22] letting go of who you were to become who you are, which is a bigger blessing. Because as a parent, we have, yes, more responsibility. And of course, I guess we're structuring. It's a legacy. We're building a legacy. We are. What is more amazing than that? What is more powerful than that? We're building a legacy. We're breaking our family gestational curses. We're breaking chains. We're doing so much amazing stuff.

[00:29:49] Just really sit in where you are and what you have and how this can really not only change your life, but the people around you, you know, you're going to become the five people that you surround yourself with. So if you're one of the good ones, you know that the people that you surround yourself with, you're going to bring them up. You're going to pull them up on the ladder. You're not going to let them just sit there and slip down unless they're pulling you down. Then you just have to cut that string. That's for sure. Just let them go.

[00:30:18] Just let them go. You have to. You have to because there's toxicity. There's a lot of chains I had to break in the last few years. And it's like, you can love people. Listen, really, truly in the Bible, even you can love people from far. You can pray for them, but you absolutely do not have to sit at the table with them and you do not invite them to eat with you. Love them from far, pray for them, but you don't have to hang out with them. You don't have to have them at your table.

[00:30:49] So here's, okay, call to action. Choose one excuse that you've been living with. Identify it and own it. Then take one action to show yourself and your family. Don't do this in private. That you're done being led by that excuse that you just identified. And you may not even realize it, but this is so important.

[00:31:15] You need to tell your kids, your spouse, and let them witness your shift. So really think about that because... And as a we're, I like when we do it as a we're. We're not going to let this hold us back anymore. Yes. I encourage you all do it together because legacy isn't about what you meant to do. Okay. We all have great intentions inside of us, but we can't let that die with us.

[00:31:40] It's about what you choose to do even when it was hard because life isn't easy. And it might take a second to think about what that excuse was that you used last time. So you might have to sit there for a few minutes and think about like, what is that? And there's definitely more than one, but it's like we block these things out of our brain, you know, like sometimes because we don't want to think about them. It's hard. We don't want to be thinking about excuses. It's not a good thought.

[00:32:08] And so you might have to sit there for a few minutes, but think about what's the last excuse that I used. Pray about it too. And when you think, and when it finally comes to you. Release it. Get it out of your system. It's like, I'm never going to use that as a crutch again. No, I'm not going to use that in my life. It doesn't make me better. What makes me better is that I plan on defeating that, whatever that is, that I'm going to stand up against it. Break the chain.

[00:32:35] Before you reach for that coffee, consider this. What if the energy boost you're looking for isn't in your cup, but in your cells? I challenge you to swap your morning coffee for Shilajit by Symbiotica. And here's what can happen. No crash, no jitters, just clean, sustained energy, plus mental clarity and trace minerals that our

[00:33:03] bodies actually need. That are actually starving for, to be honest. This isn't just a supplement. It's an ancient adaptogen sourced from the Himalayas that supports mycochondrial function, stamina, and overall vitality. Your coffee never did that. Okay. Let's just be honest. Try it for a week and tell me your body doesn't thank you. Symbiotica's Shilajit is next level wellness.

[00:33:33] And honestly, you may never go back to drinking coffee. Click the link below down in the bio and get your Shilajit today. Yes. So I think we're going to wrap it up now because I heard your alarm go off. So if this episode spoke to you today, if you've been stuck in cycles that your kids don't deserve to inherit because they don't deserve it, if you're ready to stop making excuses

[00:34:00] and start making legacy moves and join this movement that we're just preaching so hard on, and if you're ready to stop making those excuses, as I just said, as if you're stopped, I'm fired. That's it. Do co-host. You need to just not keep this message to yourself. Don't keep this message to yourself. Sorry, guys. I was looking at the time and it just took me. We went a little bit over.

[00:34:29] You need to share this episode with a friend. Send it to another parent, a couple, or someone who needs to remember that they were born to lead, that they're not meant to stay stuck in whatever they're dealing with. We're building something bigger than businesses here with our community. We're building families who break chains. We talk about it all the time, who take radical ownership and who show the next generation what

[00:34:57] healing and leadership really looks like. It's not talk. We're doing the work. And we can't do it alone. So tag us. Message us in the reviews. Let us know what you're going to break and leave your Instagram handle so we can hold you accountable and share your beautiful message of what you're going to let go of today and

[00:35:21] what excuses you are leaving behind after today's episode because your breakthrough could be the spark for someone else's legacy too, not just yours and your family's. Remember, your kids are watching you guys and you can't build legacy through pushing it under the table, through making excuses, through pushing it on to other people. Legacy is built through discipline and you need to take responsibility for this stuff.
