Aligning Yourself with the Right Truthful Group - Robert Syslo Jr

Aligning Yourself with the Right Truthful Group - Robert Syslo Jr

"The people who you align yourself with, will alter the trajectory of your entire life." - David Lee Jensen

My mentor and best friend David Lee Jensen said this quote to me and it literally changed my entire perspective of the people who I aligned myself with.  I thank him many for his time, his generosity, true friendship and most of all being the most ethical person I know. There is something to be said for taking control of your own life and developing your own ideas and concepts, in building your own dream and making it a reality.  Winning is extremely important and sometimes in order to win you must leave and disconnect from certain groups, people, and those who you looked up too.

This can happen because of time, changes, or an elevated awareness on your self.  As a multiple business owner and entrepreneur over the last six months I have discovered that in business it is important to see things aas they are.  If an individual says and acts a certain that is the person you are getting involved with, if they say something but do another, do not attempt to justify the action or the reason for that action.  My biggest blunders came from what I hoped the person would be versus what they actually are.

This resulted in loss of income for me, loss of integrity for myself.  Why is that important to notice this.  Because in the age of influencers, social media, marketing, it is very easy to appear larger than life, and I found that as I moved into a space of relating with billionaires their viewpoints are extremely different.

They focus on the growth, purpose and expansion of their company.  Getting lost in the trap of social media, hinders your growth and expansion.   The more I make calls, the more I focus on my future the more success it brings to me.  When I look at aligning myself with a group or individual here is what I look for - ethics, keeping their word, action, and trust.  If a group or individual does not posses these qualities I am not part of them.

I had to become strict in my life both in my personal and my life around.  Too many mistakes cost me time, effort and money. And when your mission is to help people to improve the marketplace, I realized I had to have rules.  These rules are life and they have allowed a huge abundance of prosperity in the last 6 months.


The Driving Factor for Building Your Own Dream - Robert Syslo Jr

The Driving Factor for Building Your Own Dream - Robert Syslo Jr

6 years ago if you would have said Robert you are going to be building three companies on your own with massive success and reaching millions of people I did not have the foresight to see it.  Now sitting here in the midst of multiple product launches, company launches, sales calls, reaching out into the marketplace, I have arrived here.

You have to be a bit of an oddball to do this, to willingly forego the luxury of a steady paycheck, to forego the certainty of routine and what will come your way in the 9-5 to set out on your own.  I always wondered what people went through at the beginning, most talk about the current state of affairs, you hear stories, oh it was tough, working out my house, did not know where the money was going to come to handle rent or living expenses, but until you take the leap you do not know what exactly is in store for you.

I can say that most of what is said is true the experiential side of entrepreneurship is liberating, horrifying and also extremely rewarding.  The reason I use the word “extremely” in this context is because it tests the very limits of who you are, what you are willing to endure, and forces you to confront the fear of death.  By death I mean failure.  Failure only comes when you give up, but the sheer volatility of it, tests the spirit.

I love it.  Is it glamorous no, is it worth it yes.  I look at what I have created in a short period of time and it indicates exactly what is to come in the future.  That is the driving factor.  To look at what I have created in this short period of time, you can see it here https://sysloventures.com and https://interviewblueprint.com and a third on the way.

You forego your comfort, your stability for the inevitable rewards of freedom and utmost pursuit of your passion.  Insane is the word that comes to mind if I was to think about this 6 years ago, today I call it the right move.   For me I spent to long being a follower, I spent to long being occupied with the development of something else that was not my own.  I was holding my own self back from creating and using what potential I knew existed.  The driving factor to do it, can only come from yourself, and if I don’t have that faith that I can do it, I would not do it.

The purpose of this is really to only talk about the one factor that propels you into entrepreneurship and into the life you want.  The key phrase here is what “you” want.  Not running on another’s idea of how you should be, how you should act, how you should live.  It is what I struggled with the most I was grasping at others viewpoints to adopt as my own, fearing my own viewpoint.

The biggest mistake I made was not following my viewpoint, was not honoring what my viewpoint truly was and how it could make a difference in the world and in the marketplace.  The moment I began to see that viewpoint and really understand that was me, this is where it changed, and that is the driving factor to building your dream.  The turning point of understanding who you really are, what you really can do, and achieving it.

Creating Something Unique - Robert Syslo Jr

Creating Something Unique - Robert Syslo Jr

Everyone wants to be unique, everyone wants to have a distinguishable identity in the marketplace and one of the questions I was recently asked was, how do you create something unique. I thought about this question very diligently, as I am in the middle of building my own sense of “unique”.

What I arrived at was something different.  I realized that in the marketplace everyone is attempting to do just this a unique value, or viewpoint that sets others apart.  I wanted to know where this came from, as lot of products are more or the less and can be the same with different variants.

I realized the only thing that makes something unique is the presentation and the person or people behind it.  What you are, who you believe in and how you create something is the unique that is being searched for.  It is not some magical answer or mystic deal, its way simpler than that.  IT is yourself and how you choose to approach situations and viewpoints.  Without understanding that element first the idea of unique cannot exist.

I struggled for a very long time attempting to identify myself, and find out who I really was.  And after many years I cannot say I fully know that, but I have 80% of it handled.  This for me was paramount to anything else. To any other business or creation it was about discovering what it was that I knew that I could offer.  I could not allow myself to get caught up in the minutia of what others were thinking, or talked about in relationship to me, it had to be me and be unapologetically me.

This is where uniqueness comes from, the ability to know you, be you and not hide behind a false identity.  That is where the end goal lies. Not a fabricated fake reality, but a real one, un hidden, and open.

This is the success of distinguishable identities, the ability to simply take the time know you and build on that.


My View on Employees - Robert Syslo Jr

As a new business owner and entrepreneur I have moved into the space of having to find employees. And I began to assess what that would entail, but not only that what my responsibility will be to them.

Employees are hard workers, they make the business push forward and succeed. The right employee does this. For myself I have always been the hardest working employee, now turned business owner. I respect the ability for an employee to want to grow more, to want to be ambition and create on his own. I admire it because that is the right and ethical thing for he or she to do for herself or himself.

No one should be stuck in one place, they should be advancing. My responsibility to them is to ensure that they are growing, and that I know about them, let them know that as I am the boss, I am always a friend and person they can communicate too.

I personally do not believe in detachment from my employees, they deserve respect and friendship. Unless they harm the business in some way, this is a different story.

But if someone is producing, showing up doing their job, eager to learn, eager to expand, eager to make his lot in life better, and earn more, who am I to suppress that. Its unthinkable to even consider doing this.

It is only out of fear or one’s personal ego that they would try to limit or undermine their employees. They are your team. I remember reading about Richard Branson and he said something so powerful that immediately resonated with me:

“Clients do not come first. Employees come first. If you take care of your employees, they will take care of the clients”.

What an impressive statement for a billionaire to make. Yet it is incredibly true. Employees represent you, they are a symbol for your brand, how they act, what they say, how they feel are your responsibility, their frustrations and success are your responsibility. You take care of that, you have a tight knit group, a well controlled group that works together towards a purpose.

When I look for someone I am looking for ethics, communication, ambition, and willingness to work hard and grow. That is how I operate. I remember seeing a massive business owner speak, and he said to the crowd that it is the owners responsibility to know and care for his employees. To not know, is a sign of lack of respect and understanding for how important they are.

Getting involved, being around your team, daily talking to them, coming out of the ivory tower, is the most important. Never think you are above them, even though you are in hierarchy, a well functioning unit respects authority, but also understands good leadership.

I personally respect the leader who can do this, anything else, can be destructive to a unit, loss of talent, loss of morale.

Be responsible for your group and help them win, we are all in this together trying to make it, respect authority, but also be willing to help others expand.

Why I Had to Undo My Thoughts — Robert Syslo Jr

Why I Had to Undo My Thoughts — Robert Syslo Jr

As a multiple business owner, CEO and expert in marketing and digital production, I have had a plethora of experiences. Recently I have moved into my own over the last 6 months. I became a business owner and entrepreneur and entered into a brand new realm of existence unlike what I have been used to. I was trained extremely heavily over the past 5 years, and the previous 25 years before that. Thoughts, ideas and ways of being that I thought were mine, that I thought were true, mentors and people who I looked up to for guidance I adopted beliefs from throughout my life, have turned out to be skewed perceptions of truth. I touched on this in my recent article regarding how I restarted my life.

When you get trained or conditioned in a certain way you adopt it wholeheartedly because for you in the time you adopted these beliefs was what you thought was right to get through. Mannerisms, communication, ways of conducting business etc. were now yours. Then when you get on your own and start developing businesses and aligning yourself with those that are more aligned with your beliefs, it challenges these thoughts.

For me I had serious beliefs about always working, non-stop and believe me I do work non-stop but I realized something was wrong when I lived on the ocean and only went to the beach twice. I realized that my relationship was suffering and not only with my girl, but with myself. Everything that I loved to do and experienced I stopped doing it. It was as if I was becoming inhuman. A robot that executed things perfectly. I would remember from time to time my experience as a surfer, as a rock climber, photographer etc, but those were pushed aside.

In recent months I began to see a world of reality, of real people, people who work on the ground and build companies and businesses, and their families. I realized that I needed to fix up my own life. Why am I writing this? I am writing this because I began to wonder how many other people out there struggled with something similar.

The thoughts I had, the ideas that I had held me in a place of not being able to move, even though it gave the appearance that I was moving, and in a sense I was, just not in the direction I wanted to. When I took the entrepreneurial plunge, I was forced to confront every reality associated with that. I had to confront thoughts that were no longer working for me. I had to get rid of them.

Why would that happen? When you get on your own, build on your own, and align with like minded people, you have no choice but to change the way you operate. A good friend of mine David Lee Jensen, an amazing person and my mentor, helped me to see this and understand the importance of this. He says that the people you align with will change the trajectory of your entire life, and I took it one step further, its the thoughts and ways of the people you align with that will effect the trajectory of your entire life.

It is in this moment I realized, just like 10 years ago, I had to undo my beliefs and processes. I had to re-discover myself and the best thing I found was me. I had complete control now, I had no one else to direct, I was my own mentor, I keep my own counsel, as my mentor L. Ron Hubbard says and there is nothing more liberating than this fact:

I trust myself and trust my observations and decisions.

I write this with the sincerest hope that you understand this and can perceive what I am speaking about and hopefully give you the courage to change your thoughts, for the better.

How I Restarted My Life Again, and How to Do It — Robert Syslo Jr

How I Restarted My Life Again, and How to Do It — Robert Syslo Jr

My life is one of continuous changes, upgrades, shifts, moves and expansion. The common element that took place each time was my own sense of not being satisfied with my life, my direction and what I had. It was as if I had reached a plateau each time and felt I needed to move in a new direction. 10 years ago I found myself sleeping in the back seat of my Hyundai Sonata in Los Angeles, CA. Ironically, because we are creatures of habit, I parked on the street behind my old apartment that I lived in because I could not afford it. Rent was $800.00, that is now one of my car payments. I left everything I had because the four people that were closest to me in my life at that time were all druggies, drinkers, and lacking ambition. I had to disconnect and leave them all.

Fast forward 10 years later. I was making over $300k a year, I lived in a million dollar apartment on the ocean, have a sports car and a second car, found what I thought was stability. I remember when I was homeless saying, if I only had enough to have a roof over my head. Now it was the same feeling, the feeling of missing something, a feeling of unhappiness had overcome me. Once again the four people that were the closest to me I had to walk away from. They have been removed from my life yet again. Why did I do this?

As you come up in awareness, as you have begun to really see the world and understand what is taking place within it, the opportunities, the communication, you begin to see if you would like more. For me it happened again, I took the plunge, I left it all knowing the risk that I was taking and placing myself back into a huge risk. It was a complete system restart.

How do you do this? How do you remove yourself from your friends, your family, boyfriend, girlfriend, bosses, why would you do that? I will tell you why and I want you to truly understand this point.

It is ok for you to pursue your own thoughts, your own ideas, your own perceptions, your own desire, your own reality the way that you want it.

It is ok to do that.

I was brought up with a lot of misconceptions, even in the last 5 years as I see them as the most successful of my life so far, were full of misconceptions, and strewed data that has turned out to be false as I move through entrepreneurship. Ideas that I thought were real and made sense, were actually distorted versions of truth. It took a long time to figure that out.

This will be the fourth time I have done this and each time I have done this I have gone 100x bigger than the section of life before it. I view this as a momentary transition into the next phase. There is nothing wrong with it, there is nothing wrong with starting at zero, there is nothing wrong with having an idea jumping out into your own and not knowing how it will work. It is better to do it, than let it eat away at you.

The biggest mistakes that I made came from not following what I wanted to do and following the will or idea of another. It was as if I was being run by something else not of my own control, but in learning about myself and getting myself around the right people, as I have now today, it is truly remarkable the effort it takes to make it go right for yourself.

How do you do this? How do you restart from zero without fear, against all others perceptions of what they perceive to be right. Their view is theirs, yours is yours, honor yours.

This is my viewpoint of how I have done this.

  1. Save as much money as you can before you decide to make a serious change. Give yourself at least 6–8 months of breathing room.
  2. Prepare yourself for the rollercoaster of emotions that will come with this — “did I do the right thing?, was I better off before?, other people look like they are doing better”- when you have this come up remember why you did this in the first place, remember you are now much more awakened then anyone else around you, so no one will understand what you are doing.
  3. Remember you are much more enlightened then your peers. It will seem that you are the oddball, the freak, the guy who is stupid for leaving everything, remember that is ok, and that is what is supposed to happen. No one remembers the people who stay beneath others, no one remembers the people who do mediocre
  4. Get as clear as you can on your intention to change your life. What will it look like, how will you build it, where do you want it to be in 90 days from now.
  5. Be willing to disconnect from family, friends, bosses, mentors, anyone who no longer aligns with your view. And be ok with it.
  6. Stay off of social media. The biggest trap of the world is Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, Linked In. I personally view this device as hypnotism, it is really bad. When you do this, stay off, and if you want to use it, hire a VA or get someone else to post for you. Protect your viewpoints, protect your mind.
  7. Start producing and creating with what you have. You may not have a million dollars, you may not have an influx of cash, but you have ideas, you have skills, and you have tools that you can use to make this work.

I write this because I have done this many times to get to the next level, and it is scary. I really want you just to have another viewpoint, a friendly viewpoint that does not come with antagonism, but one that is simply offering a viewpoint to help his fellow man.

I hope this helps and hope you can muster the courage to do what you know you have to do.

Why I Do Not Violate My Ethics for Money - Robert Syslo Jr

Why I Do Not Violate My Ethics for Money - Robert Syslo Jr

There is something that I have been observing and learning as a new found business owner and entrepreneur.  That in some situations, there are business owners who would violate their own integrity for money, connections.  Some are very respected some are not.  However it is an interesting phenomena that I have observed.

I wouldn’t say that I believe in karma, I do believe in creating situations that can spiral out of control if not handled appropriately.  With that said, I will never forget this amazing quote from L. Ron Hubbard - “Clean hands make a happy life”. Now no one is perfect, we are not angels, we are people and we make our mistakes.  With that being said, sacrificing one’s integrity viewpoint for a better position or for alignment, is violation to yourself.

Now you can do it and I would recommend the opposite of not doing it, but if you do, remember you are the cause for whatever happens after that point.

With my income and my position in life now, which is much higher than what it has ever been before, the idea of violating that disgusts me and it should for you too.    Those who surround me are ethical, they are clean, and they live a good life.  If they are not around, there is a reason for it and it rides on the ethic line for me.  I made too many mistakes and was hurt too many times to allow the continuation of those who violated their own integrity to exist in my world.

I work with powerhouses, I work with those who truly are the definition of ethics and those who never abandon their friends, because that is true loyalty and that is how businesses are built.   That is how great money is made, it is made with integrity and ethics.

When I have to Make Decisions - Robert Syslo Jr

When I Have to Make Decisions

Huge. That is all I can say. Every decision comes with its own set of consequences and as I write this I think about all the decisions I had to make in my life to get me to where I am today. Everyone has opinions, everyone has a viewpoint they think their own thoughts. It is what it is, I know for me what was extremely difficult when I was beginning my life out in the real world was needing approval from others. I had this very strange phenomena of almost having to ask permission to do what I wanted to do, it made no sense to me.

It blocked me from making my own choices, and my own moves in life. It was quite debilitating. For years I would be extremely hesitant and worried about making a decision. Sometimes now I feel that way, however the difference is I make a choice based on facts and what is the best for everything and everyone involved. My mentor L. Ron Hubbard spoke of this, of making decisions based on that information.

Decisions can be hard, they can be difficult because you cannot forsee the future, however your gut instinct usually tells you so. I have adopted and stand by this rule for myself when making a choice.

“Never allow another’s opinion to define what direction you want to take or what moves you want to make. Your decisions are yours, your understanding is yours, honor it.”

What I perceive is mine, what I know is mine, what I want to do is mine, and as long as I am acting ethically, then there is no issues connected with making a decision. It could be starting a new business, ending a relationship, moving across the country, whatever it might be I always come back to that choice.

I remember when I decided to move from New York City to New Mexico. It was such a radical change a lot of my closest friends couldn’t understand it. I even remember being told that I was selfish and was a horrible friend. As I did not expect that I realized then that not everything I do will be liked. But everything I do will be my decision and it will be made with very high understanding of all possible outcomes involved.

I never jump, unless I feel I have grasped a situation or analyzed something very intently. It is a habit of mine, even spending money, I do not spend unless I truly believe it will help me in the future.

I am not saying that I am an expert you are reading my blog, so I am assuming you are interested. This is my viewpoint and nothing more.

How I Found My Real Purpose in Life - Robert Syslo Jr

How I Found My Real Purpose in Life

by Robert Syslo Jr

Purpose, what a thing.  When you do not have one it drives you nuts, you feel lost confused and have no clue where to go.  I suffered from this from about 14 years old till about 24, then everything changed for me.  I realized that I had a great talent for communication through video and then what was even more exciting, was the opportunity I was given to run and create something extraordinary.  Upon this I began to discover the natural power I had to create and build something from scratch.  It surprised me!  But it gave me a huge adrenaline rush.

Now out on my own, I get to act on the purpose that I found.  The ability to create long last effect in the economy through any means necessary.   What does that look like, for me it can be as simple as helping someone express a message through video, or like my new company Interview Blueprint where we help college kids identify and attain a career of their dreams.  This is my mission and purpose, the underlying information is to help as always to help.

How did I find that out, well simply because no one helped me really growing up.  I was not given great direction, there was so much about life that I did not know about nor did I understand.  It was just never explained to me.  Business, money, investing, marketing, all of those things I found out about around the age of 24.  I felt that I had missed a huge part of data that I could have utilized to grow something.  The great thing is, I was able to find out about it and understand it.

The missing link in my world was this idea, this concept of how to create something from scratch.  Make money at it and grow.  Now I am not the all star entrepreneur, by entrepreneur by definition is the process of designing, launching and running a new business.  I am in the process right now.  IT is some process I must say.  But I will tell you, it doesn’t work without understanding what the purpose was.  I really had to identify it.  I’m not saying anything new here, you have heard other big boys say the same thing, I just starting out am validating that.  Without the purpose it doesn’t work.  Mine is to help.

I know what it is.

What I Struggled With Being on My Own - Robert Syslo Jr

It is very early in the entrepreneurial business development stage for me and I know that.  I did a couple of videos recently saying what inspires me and one of those things was overcoming adversity and building something amazing.  Creating an idea, running with that idea and building it into a multi million dollar empire I have huge respect for this.

What I have struggled with is starting where I am and seeing what has been accomplished and its very hard not to compare yourself to your present situation and introvert on that idea.  What have I done wrong, what am I not doing correctly to succeed?  These are just some of the questions that randomly come through my mind.

1. How I handle negative thoughts

In these moments I find it beneficial to remember that I am working towards an end goal and I hold onto that goal.  I become interested and focused on this always and never let the struggle weigh in.  For me it becomes more about what am I doing currently to make this happen, and what am I doing that is not benefiting that movement forward.  If there is something that I find is distracting me or causing too much upset I will disconnect from it and move on.  Only after I have attempted to work with it and see if it is doable.

2. How I stay focused

In my journey so far there are a lot of “shiny objects” to get lost in.  One of those is my phone.  I placed a huge discipline in on staying off of Facebook Instagram and deleted those apps off of my phone.  The reason being is that to me it is a huge trap of nothingness.  If you ever found yourself just picking up your phone and looking at it, and then realizing an hour just passed, you understand what I mean.  I stay focused on the tasks at hand and move forward.  Nothing else, no one else comes in between me and that.

3. Handling People Who Attack or Criticize Me

This one is interesting because it comes from the most random of places.   Some of them I do not know and some of them were people who I thought were worthy of my trust.  While I find this extremely disappointing from time to time I remind myself that when you are trying to go build something different and new, not everyone will like it.  I remember one of my mentors say, Cardone, that when you start pushing out into the marketplace you will be subjected to criticism, you will be attacked, but that is merely because people are being reminded of what they are not doing. Which in turn causes a massive reaction.  The way I deal with this is I remain calm, get back to work, and then if someone is making false claims about me I will do a video about the truth on social media.  This is just to stay in communication and show the world I am not afraid to confront evil.  Because it does exist.

4. How I deal with failure

Sometimes along the path so far, I will push at an idea extremely hard, like when I tried to register my RSS ventures company, I found out that it was taken by a pharmaceutical company.  I had developed the logo, started promotion, started talking about it because I got super excited, the next thing I know I was told that it was already owned.  While I was discouraged, I wasn’t attached to the name so I turned around and changed everything in a day and was fine.  The failure hit and I moved on.  Another example I had a potential partner who I spent a long time with, and it just did not work out, so what I did was I had to leave it.  This created a huge loss for me because I liked the guy, I enjoyed his company, and I really believed what we were trying to create would go farther and be ultra successful.  This did not happen.  It was a huge setback for me because by that time I was out of money.  The only thing I could do was pick up and move forward.  And that is what I have done.

No matter what happens in this road, I am always ready to go through it.  Good, bad, ugly, amazing, I am ready and I believe that is how you have to be as an entrepreneur, this is my viewpoint.  You just have to be ready for anything, and be wary of who you get involved with.  I do not know everything, but I certainly do my best to understand the world and marketplace around me so I know how to navigate it.  Am I perfect no I am not, however I do my best to be the best.  That is all anyone could ask for.
