💛 Thank you for listening in! 😀
P.S. Don’t forget to leave a review! Much appreciated.
Robert Hunt: [00:00:00] If your business isn't what you want it to be, own it. My business wasn't wanted to be , back in 2019, because I never made sales calls.
We'll go figure. You don't call anybody. You get no new clients, right? Nobody cares if you can't sell, go figure out how to sell. So I took sales training. It's awesome. And I figured out I actually really am a great salesperson. we got to move away from the thought that accountability is a negative thing.
It's time to reinvent.
Priscilla Shumba: Welcome to the Lessons of Entrepreneurship, the Journey of Reinvention. I promised you only amazing guests and today is no different. Today, I have Robert J. Hunt with me. And for all the people who've been struggling with being accountable to themselves, to other people, and moving their lives in the right direction, this is the conversation for you.
[00:01:00] Please, Robert, let them know who are you and what's your mission.
Robert Hunt: I am married to the most beautiful woman in any room, and I have two wonderful adult children, 33, Lauren and James, 22, I, lead business groups here in the DFW area for the last 11 years. My mission, my focus, my quest, is to help people remove the obstacles that keep them from being their best.
That's my purpose in life, and I wrote the book, Nobody Cares, In hopes that I could get their attention and help them break free from the lies that keep them as a victim. And so my passion these days, trying to help people see that accountability is a good thing, not a bad thing.
Priscilla Shumba: I'm here for it and I think our audience is here for it too. You quickly rush through what the book is called. Robert is the author of the book, Nobody Cares Until You Do. Beyond the Blame, Excuses and Doubts That Hold You Back.
Robert Hunt: Yeah. Yeah.
Priscilla Shumba: Cheeky. Needed.
Robert Hunt: Was talking to someone and they said, why would it, do you say nobody cares? That seems [00:02:00]like a rude thing to say, but we tell you, you don't say it to people, you say it to yourself. Because a lot of times we don't recognize how many times we hold ourselves back from having the life we really want.
And it's our fault. We're doing it to ourselves. We're playing the role of a victim, but we're not even aware of it. And we do things that we've done our whole lives and we're just so comfortable with it because we've done it for so long that we've lost the awareness of where our lives have been stuck as a victim.
And that's why we say that When you blame or make excuses or say you can't or you wait and hope that you're just staying in that victim role and not moving forward, pursuing the life you really want. So you've got to get to that place in your life where you go, okay nobody cares.
Nobody cares if I'm happy in my marriage or unhappy with my job or miserable about my finances, unless I do. And when I do, and I care enough to do something about it, I gained the power to change my life.
Priscilla Shumba: That's it. You have the power to change your life. Wow. Our audience is [00:03:00] early entrepreneurs and I know from the work you've done, which maybe you can speak a little bit about that you are very familiar with this space and you speak to a lot of CEOs help us understand how this is working together accountability taking control of your life.
Running a business essentially.
Robert Hunt: The leaders that I've met over the years that do it really well, that are truly accountable to themselves. And remember you,, no one can hold anyone else accountable. So I can't hold you accountable. You can't hold me accountable, but we can create a world where we want to be accountable. The leaders who want to be accountable, they're vulnerable, they're transparent, they're honest about their struggles.
Then they can get help. If you want to look good, you don't ever tell anyone you have a problem. No one's ever going to help you. And so the leaders who I found that were really accountable to The requirements,, the effort, the guidelines that they established, when they owned all that, they had great results.
The ones who always wanted to look good or to not feel bad about their journey, they ended up self restricting themselves because they never moved [00:04:00] past hurdles that every entrepreneur is going to see. Cash flow, people problems, technology issues, understanding the market changes. Everyone has the same stuff.
But when you are real and honest about your struggles, other people are willing to help you because they've been in that same journey too, and they know what it's like.
Priscilla Shumba: It's our misperception of what is accountability? It's this bad thing and understanding that even owning the struggle is part of the process. Maybe you can just talk us through that because sometimes we just think, accountability is something that I do to someone or someone holds over me.
And like you said, no one can make you accountable. So maybe help us understand the concept. So we're, headed the right way.
Robert Hunt: we got to move away from the thought that accountability is a negative thing. It's not something you do to somebody else. It's something I do to myself. But the cool part about it is accountability is truly freedom and power and hope. My wife and I experienced this [00:05:00] firsthand in 2019. We owed 90, 000 in debt and it was killing us.
That didn't include the houses or the cars and the stress that it brought to our lives and our business was tremendous. And every year we kept thinking maybe next year things will turn around. How many times business owners say that? Maybe next year maybe, this employee I had, that's really horrible will be better next year somehow.
Maybe this client that's really rude and horrible to all of our employees somehow will become nice. It just doesn't happen. And so you keep kicking it down the road, thinking that things are going to get better
Priscilla Shumba: while you were talking, I was thinking about the idea that, you have to own where you are, but at the same time there's this sort of popular culture of just think positive things. Like you started by saying, Oh, you just think, Oh maybe next year will be better, or,
it's just going to automatically change or, optimism and, positive vibes, kind of culture that kind of takes you away from, Oh, this accountability thing is a bad thing.
So The core to accountability is the recognition that [00:06:00] your actions have consequences. And so if you're a business owner and you're supposed to be doing this, and this, but because you're the owner, you can get away with not doing it. You can hire people that don't actually meet the requirement that you had in your brain when you started the company, because you're desperate and you need somebody, you'll take an account or a client that you don't really think is a good client, but you need the money.
Robert Hunt: You do things that, you know, really. This is probably not the right way to do it, but it's all the time I have. And so we start to compromise bit by bit and we think we're getting away with it. And we think this is all working great, but eventually it catches up with us. We run out of cash. We have horrible clients.
We have horrible employees. And the ripple effect of doing all these things that are really not what you should do means you have to then. You eat it. You eat the consequences at some point. So one way or another, you're going to own the results. What I'd like to do is I'd like to choose my results. I don't want to get whatever I get.
I want to chase what I want and I want to get it that way. And a lot of times when you ignore what is [00:07:00]responsible activities and actions as a leader, as an entrepreneur, you end up getting something far less and you're stuck with it. And to me, I think accountability gives you the power and the freedom to create the world, the business that you really want.
Priscilla Shumba: so much you said there. I think for the person who will be listening, they'll probably have to listen to this all over again because there's so much that you said in that, that really taking responsibility for the things that you know you should be doing is part of accountability.
Robert Hunt: Yeah. Let me jump in on that. I had a podcast this morning. I talked to another guy. He says, I take responsibility for everything in my company. I said, that's not the point. I want you to be accountable to everything in your company. If someone does something wrong and you're responsible for it, , you fix it.
But accountable is saying, look, I know that's a bad employee. That person shouldn't be working here. I'm going to proactively fix it. I'm going to create the company that I want. I'm going to do the things that I know make sense. But when I don't do it, I can be responsible. But I had [00:08:00] never been accountable.
Responsible is doing something. Accountable is doing the right thing. And so showing up at work is responsible. Actually caring about the work you do is accountable. And so when you look at these problems as an owner and you say I'm responsible for everything. That's not what I'm looking for.
I want you to create proactively the world, the company, the life that you really want. Because you own that. So you own the process of going through something and building it and not just that if it blows up in my face, I'll eat it and I'll figure it out. , that's responsible. That's just taking whatever crap comes your way and deal with it.
I want you to create a life, a world, a relationship, a health, a faith, everything that you really want and you choose it and you proactively go get it. And you have the power to do that because you own it and you can do anything you want when you own it.
Priscilla Shumba: Now,, you see , I was thinking, okay, responsibility. I'm glad highlighted that because I think a lot of people think, oh I'm responsible for everything. So I must be accountable. It sounds like you're saying, [00:09:00]Accountability is owning the outcome proactively.
Robert Hunt: That's correct. That's correct. And I think as adults, we pretty much know what it's like to take care of life. I didn't plan responsibly and all of a sudden a bunch of bills came up. I put on my credit card. I'm responsible, right? But accountable was to not spend the money you didn't have in the first place.
If you can see the vision of the world you want, And you go chase that. That is creating it through accountability. But if all you do is keep living with whatever junk comes your way, you might be responsible, but you're not living the life you want. And accountability allows you to live the life you want. Isn't that beautiful? When you think about the freedom and power that the word accountability means, it's not a bad thing. It's not punishment. It's freedom. It's joy. It's power.
Priscilla Shumba: I like that. I like that contrast. I know, people say this is adulting. No, this is more than adulting. This is like you taking ownership for vision, for creation, for the direction in which your life is [00:10:00] going. And, accountability begins with yourself. I think for people who have teams, we'll get to that, but I'd love, to know what led to you writing this book because I think a lot of people will see themselves as, you speak.
Robert Hunt: My journey of running CEO peer groups for the last 11 years has allowed me to see leaders who really owned it and did a great job. And then when I got to that journey of my own life with my beautiful wife, Kathy, and we looked at where we weren't enjoying our life. We weren't living the life we wanted.. We applied the principles of accountability in that moment to really turn the page. And so I've seen it through my career. I've seen it in my own life and I've seen how it makes a huge difference. So my friend Salem Thine and I had been talking about these principles for quite a long time.
And he was always challenging me. You should write a book. You should write a book. And I said, no, I'm going to write a book, man. So we finally committed to, hire a ghostwriter and a publisher and let them do all the work great leaders delegate and we didn't need to have [00:11:00] the bragging rights that we wrote this book.
We just need to have the book to be written. So we coauthored this book. We created the structure, the outlines, the stories and someone put all the words in between it and we're very proud of it. More importantly is I want to get it in the hands of millions of people who will read this and go, Oh, okay.
I have a tool now to know when I'm playing a victim, to know how to stop it, and to create a plan that allows me to have the life I really want.
Priscilla Shumba: I'm thinking of the person who's sitting thinking, light bulbs have just gone off. Hearing you speak about accountability and about me owning. It's the outcome of my life proactively today and various situations in life. How can I approach it? Practical, like got the insight.
How do I apply the insight?
Robert Hunt: When you become aware of where you're being a victim, and we put a satisfaction assessment in the book, you can go online and [00:12:00] do it for free at nobodycaresbook. com. You can take the satisfaction assessment. You don't have to give us your information or anything. We just want to give it to you as a free tool.
And when you declare where you're satisfied or not in your personal, your professional life, then you can stop and look at it and go, okay now why, am I not happy with my marriage? Why am I not happy with my sales team? And you could put the answers down and then you can look and see, wait, that's blame.
That's excuse. Wait, that's just saying I can't. And when you, after you read the book, you'll see the tools that will help you see where you make excuses or blame or say you can't or wait and hope. And so when you become aware of this, then you go, okay, now wait, nobody cares. Where am I going to go? And then you create a plan.
And so the steps to create the plan are acknowledge the reality. Embrace the suck, find a solution and make it happen. And those are the last chapters of the book. It's really a workbook. And so when you get the skills of being aware, you're late to a meeting, you walk in the door, what do you say? Oh, the traffic was really [00:13:00] bad.
That's an excuse. didn't turn in the paperwork. The report you're supposed to do for your meeting. You blame Joe never gave me the information and you blame and make excuse and you'll start to see these things. Wait, I got to own this. I could have walked over to Joe's office and said, Hey man, I need that now.
But instead I just said Joe never got back to me. So these things that we do that we're just comfortable with and used to, and we're normal about, we'll start to see them now and they'll become, gross. I don't want to be that. I see that now. And then you'll know the tools to go and chase the result you really want.
Priscilla Shumba: We had a little talk yesterday and you were talking about how if your business isn't where it should be. And immediately I said, stop talking, Robert, the camera's got to be rolling, is too good, we have a lot of early entrepreneurs who listening in our audience and who may feel like you said, Oh I'm not getting the results I want to get.
This isn't happening for me. It's because I don't have a big name. It's because I don't have a big network. It's because I don't [00:14:00] you, know how it goes. It's because the economy that person.
Robert Hunt: Nobody cares.
Priscilla Shumba: like
Robert Hunt: don't misunderstand. Don't go around saying this to other people. When someone tells you their problems, don't go. Nobody cares. That's rude. You say it to yourself every time you're about to throw out an excuse or a blame or say, I can't or wait and hope.
I'll just check into that later. Hey, my marriage is bad. I'll worry about that next year. Hey, my health is not good. I'll go to the doctor next year. That's waiting and hoping. And then you finally go there when you pass out with a heart attack. I guess I should go see the doctor. And so you can delay things as long as you want.
Nobody cares. It's totally your choice. If your business isn't what you want it to be, own it. My business wasn't wanted to be , back in 2019, because I never made sales calls. I didn't like making sales calls because I thought people might be mean to me. I don't like rejection. So I just wouldn't call anybody.
We'll go figure. You don't call anybody. You get no new clients, right? And because I was so scared of it I said, look, nobody cares if you can't sell, go figure out how to sell. So I took sales training. I [00:15:00] went to Sandler and I learned how to , do sales through Sandler. It's awesome. And I figured out I actually really am a great salesperson.
I just needed to know the tools and the steps to do it well. whatever excuse you have as a business owner for why you're not getting the results you want, you've got to own it and you got to be the one who says, I'm going to change it. That's when you have accountability.
Priscilla Shumba: Thank you for sharing that because I think even your example of sales a lot of people feel really nervous about the idea of sales and speaking to someone to make an ask.
Robert Hunt: Think about your marriage too. Let's say you don't like your marriage and maybe your spouse really bothers you. Can't talk to him about that. That'd be awkward. It'd be uncomfortable. Okay. Why don't you wait till you're getting divorce papers and then see how awkward that is because it's going to be awkward either way.
But again, proactively choosing the life you want. I'm going to say, listen, let's go to counseling, which we did. We went to counseling and we talked about all the challenges and frustrations we had that had really been a lot of what drove our spending habits in the past. And if we're going to change something, we got to own it.
We got to go [00:16:00] talk about it. So you're going to deal with this one way or another. It's going to be a knee jerk reaction of responsibility to handle what comes your way. Or you're going to proactively say, I don't have the kids I want. I don't have the finances I want. What do I need to do? So we, live in this house that we rent.
We sold our other home. We use that money to pay off our debt. And we started over and we're still in this home four years later. And we have one car still imagine in America with one car. And, so when I have to go somewhere and she has a car, I take an Uber or I don't go and that's okay.
Because we are committed to rebuilding the money that we sucked out all those years, draining our retirement fund and, trying to get by. And so we've got work to do, but we're going to live modestly and , we're just fine. Every night when I go to bed, the whole world that I need is lying right next to me in my bed.
, whether it's a giant house or a tiny house, it's a six foot bed and she's right next to me. I have everything I need. And so when I had a big old house with a movie theater upstairs, That woman was in the same bed with me [00:17:00] that's in bed with me now. And so my life is good. This is where you create your own destiny.
This is where you make the decision of what you want in your life.
Priscilla Shumba: you look at all the things that are important in life it's not just radical ownership of like your finances and your business, but radical ownership of the things that matter to You Your family, your relationships, you mentioned even your children. What can you do? What can you do to improve all those areas of your life?
, you're living by Design.
Robert Hunt: Isn't that what you want?
Priscilla Shumba: You don't get great results
Robert Hunt: on accident. And what part of your life do you not care about? My dentist used to say only brush the teeth you want to keep. I thought that was a great attitude to say, but it's true. Only deal with the parts of your life you want to keep someday.
So , there's no part of my life I don't care about. It's just that we're lazy and we've just got comfortable self restricting ourselves with the own lies that say things like, I can't do this, or, it's [00:18:00] not my fault. Or I had parents who didn't love me I get it. But have chosen to chase aggressively the life I want.
It's more fun that way.
Priscilla Shumba: Thank you. It's inspiring to speak to you, Robert, and to hear your story. A lot of times we're on autopilot, and we're complaining about the whole world, but we're essentially neglecting the power we have to take ownership. of the life that we're creating and I hear a lot of times people speak of being bored with life or unhappy with this and that.
And I see the connection in this radical ownership of your outcome. But of course, it's going to require you work, like you said, to show up, I'm interested in How this impacts your wellbeing because I can see that really impacting a person's wellbeing
Priscilla Shumba: Your, world's falling apart because you're not .
engaging.
Robert Hunt: Yeah. Look, nobody says I don't want to show up. , nobody says that. This is where there's a big disconnect between those people who think they have [00:19:00] it and the other people who aren't aware that they don't. Okay. So I'm just like, Priscilla, just show up. Just get it done. And you're like, I am, I'm here every day.
And they're responsible, but they're not showing up with accountability. For me, the mental health side of things lately in the last few years has been terrible. It's been getting worse for years and years. In America, Little kids going into schools and shooting a bunch of kids. We don't need to take away all the guns.
We need to tell these little kids they're loved. And we need to have parents who are spending time with their children to know that they're going through really dark waters and to love and care for them so they don't feel like they're rejected and they have no other hope
we have the opportunity to pour into these children and to raise them to be good citizens. And so as you look at the effort that it takes to do things, you're, not going to make it any easier by avoiding it. You're going to make it a lot worse. And the longer that we hope that things would get better and kicked it [00:20:00] down another year and another year, it just ended up being so much worse.
So I think my mental health has been restored through this process. I remember after we paid off all of our debt and it was April. So we sold the house in March. Paid all the money in April and I remember one morning in April sitting on my couch having my time with the Lord and I had this weird feeling I hadn't had in a long time.
It was peace and I'd forgotten what it felt like to have peace because I've lived so many years stressed out, worried, frustrated. angry that I forgot what the opposite looked like and it wasn't till I removed it that I could contrast it and I think most people in our world have got bit by bit worse but it's been so slow and since we're not recognizing that we're blaming and making excuses and holding ourselves back we just figure well this is how it is I just get crapped on and I just get angry and I just bitter at the world and it just keeps going.
And then you see social media, which is also negative and everybody complains. And it's just this whole world [00:21:00] of whiners that it's just where we are. And I think we need a break mentally. And I think accountability gives you the opportunity to gain the power to go do something with your life. So you have hope again.
And I felt hopeful when I paid off my debt. I felt Hey, maybe I could run my business better. Hey, maybe I could have a better marriage. Hey, maybe I could drop 40 pounds. All these things that I just thought I'll never get to them. Cause I felt so hopeless when I conquered one thing, the ripple effect was everywhere.
And to me, that's a great way to build your mental health.
Priscilla Shumba: Thank you for sharing that. That's not just living, but really engaging with life. I like that. I Think of myself sometimes recently was school holidays over here in Australia. And you think, Oh, what am I going to do with these kids?
, let me just let them watch screens for a couple hours I'm going to sell myself
out here. And me and my husband will go, Oh if we take away the screens, because we all know that we should do, we know the screens are no good [00:22:00] for them, and it's not good for their mental health.
We know it's not good for the development of their brains, but we go through any mall. All the kids are holding parents devices because we're just looking for that easy way. Oh, let me just get through the day.
Robert Hunt: Yeah,
Priscilla Shumba: we were like if we take away the screens, what are we going to do?
Engaging. Engaging. Engaging. It's gonna take that effort and funny enough you take them away and you engage them on a high level Of course, it takes a little effort on your side
Robert Hunt: it does.
Priscilla Shumba: you realize how much more you can control because this is something as simple as that,
Robert Hunt: comes back to being lazy. We think it's too much work to have to invest in the children we gave birth to and decided to have. And so we give them a screen. And I'm not saying this is everyone. My kid had a phone, my kid has a phone now, but my kid had a phone when he was young. Watched TV. I'm not opposed to digital and influences like that, but if it's not the vision of the life you want and you're giving in, cause it's effort, that's lazy.
And if you really call it lazy, Don't say I'm lazy. What [00:23:00] word would you use? You know what's right to do and you're not doing it. That's lazy. And so I think if you are lazy now, you will pay for it later. And so if, you are trying to make life easier for you, think longterm, it's like spending all your money now cause it's too hard to save.
It's too much work to save. It's too much work to have a budget. Let's just spend it as we go and we'll figure it out. And then at some point, we'll You're out of money. And so it is a lot of effort to be diligent with your money. But at some point you will have to be diligent because there is no money.
And then you were like us where you owe a stupid amount of debt and you're just trying to service it to keep ahead of it. And you'll be stuck. Most Americans, spend way more than they earn. The amount of personal debt is ridiculous in this world. And we're just setting ourselves up for more and more stress.
How about just not spending money? That's hard. Huh. Don't say you can't say you won't. And if you won't figure out why [00:24:00] and create a vision of the life you really want. That's worth changing because someday I don't want my kids to have to feed me and give me a place to live. I want to not be a burden for them.
If I'm an old dude and I can't work anymore and I don't have any money, I'm a burden to them. So at the very least, you got to figure it out. I was amazed by the statistic. I'll stop right after this. The IRS says if you take a hundred people, one person will, Retire rich and then three will retire well.
And then something like 30 will do okay, but they'll need some help. And 50 cannot survive on their own. And you have your whole life to plan for your retirement. You have literally 66 years. To plan , let's say you started at 16, let's say 50 years. You got 50 years to plan for retirement and half of America , will not be ready to retire.
They'll have to count on the government to take care of them or their family or someone else. complete irresponsibility. That's laziness. And then the bummer of that is [00:25:00] you have to then eat that world you're going to inherit that you created probably be angry then too.
Priscilla Shumba: This is the challenge because like you said, it is being lazy and it's hard to call yourself lazy, but sometimes you got call a spade so that you can have that change that you want to create in your life. Like these words. I like engaging with life. I like being diligent.
I like stewarding and how all that comes together with really being accountable, knowing that you have the power to. Take ownership of your life and to take ownership of the direction of your life. I'm so glad we had this talk, Robert. Everybody should go out and get this book. Nobody cares.
rude to yourself, not to other people. Nobody cares until you do. Robert, please, if there's something I should have asked that I didn't ask, or some last words that you'd like to give us,
Robert Hunt: It comes down to the simplest thing. If you're not living the life you want, why? And the real [00:26:00]answer is it's you. You, have the power to do something about it. When we take accountability for everything in our life, we gain the power to change anything in our life. I've modeled this in my own life.
I've watched my clients do it. It works. It's not hard to become aware, but it is hard to own it. But when the vision of where you want to be is out there and you see it and where the pain of where you are is worse than the pain of , what you'll have to go through to get where you want to be.
You will change. And so I want people to make changes before their life is miserable, before it's in the toilet and they're trying to get out of it. I want them to see the dream that they once had when they got married or when they first started their business or when they graduated college and they thought their career would look like this or that.
I want them to go back to that moment and say, I want to have that dream again and proactively chase the life you really want. Cause it's there for you.
Priscilla Shumba: Life is going to be hard. Choose your hard. She's the hard that gives [00:27:00] you what you wanted the end. And for our audience that's of Christian entrepreneurs, when you were talking about How you had that time when you sat down and you felt peace,
You, took dominion, you took control.
Robert Hunt: I believe obedience I'll tell you that year when the whole world was shutting down, my business doubled and the next year it doubled again, completely. I went from nine clients in 2019 to 21 in 2020 and 43 in 2021. And God was just saying, look, now that you're not being mad at me for not giving you everything you want, like a spoiled child, and now that you're owning your life, I feel like you're responsible enough.
Let me give you more. So where we're proven to be responsible with the little things, we have the opportunity to have the bigger things. But when my head was in a place of anger and blame and excuses, God was not going to give more for me to throw away. It would be foolish on his part. And since he's a loving father and looks at me and says, you are a spoiled [00:28:00] brat.
I will not give you more until you get your life together. And he gave me plenty of years to work it out. I'll tell you that. But until I got to that place of humility and owning it, I wasn't freed up to be able to be used by God. I am today. Because I maintain a life where he can interrupt me and direct me where he wants to go.
And I don't have stress that keeps me from being available to help other people or to be used by God. So I think he brings blessings when we're obedient.
Priscilla Shumba: Thank you so much, Robert. It's been a pleasure. I would love to keep talking to you. I, this is an amazing message that I think all of us can really sit down, get the book. Nobody cares until you do living beyond the blame excuses and doubts that hold you back.
