He's also personally branded. He's also his personal brand can be summarized as fuck average, be legendary. Now without further ado, let's get into this legendary realm with our guest, Frederick Carey. Frederick, Frederick, sorry. Thank you so much for being here. - Well, thank you, and yeah, Frederick scares me 'cause that's who my dad used to call me before he beat me with his belt. - So, but. - Fred, it is then. Fred, it is. - Oh, I'll take Fred. Hey, it's an honor to be here, and I hope I can provide some value for your audience. I think I can, and you guys hang in there and let's see what happens. - Oh, I'm very, very well aware. Just reading your bio, reading some of the stuff that I got before you came onto the show. I know you're gonna be able to provide us with more value than I think I ever received. 'Cause you got so much knowledge, especially with what you're doing with IdeaPros. So, before we jump into what is IdeaPros and all that is, I want to know, why did you become an entrepreneur? - Becoming an entrepreneur is a different thing for everybody. They do it for different reasons. Pent up desires, wanting to get out of corporate America. For me, I never thought corporate America would have any. I was always kind of the rebel kid in high school and thought differently, and when it was time to go out and face the world, adulting, I just really felt that I could do it a lot better on my own than try to succumb to somebody else's wishes, 'cause I was a stubborn little bastard. And I think I knew the way I wanted to go, and I proceeded doing that from the age of 21 onward. - So, when you started, when you were 21, which I'm gonna say is a few years ago, what was the venture that you jumped into? I know you were a successful lawyer. Was that the first venture you went into open your own law form? - No, being a lawyer was actually accidental. We'd have to do another show about that. But the first thing I did is I was living in South Florida, and I had this awesome girlfriend in San Diego where I lived now, and I would go back and forth to see her. And every time I came to San Diego, I saw these taco stands and burritos and on the East Coast, they didn't have any yet. And I convinced a guy, older guy that had inherited a bunch of money from his family to let you start building taco stands here in Florida. And within two or three years, Taco Bell is gonna come to the East Coast and acquire us. And surely, we had, in three years, we had 70 stores, and they came and the became a taco bell. That was a miracle. - So your first venture already shot off to a success in essence. You were already, you got 70 stores. You're just living life. And then a little company called Taco Bell hops over into Florida and says, "We want your stores." And just buys you out. - Exactly. - Yeah, I went from that, the music production to then becoming an attorney because two attorneys told me, "Hey, if you become an attorney, we'll make you our partner." And they got a great business. And so I said, "All right." And I had to go to law school and accomplish that. And I did that for about a decade, but then really missed entrepreneurship and went back and started to create 10 different companies before I started at your press. - Oh, wait, wait, you started, so not only did you start a taco business thought by Taco Bell. You did a music, then you're like, "Hey, let's change everything and become a lawyer," or attorney because why not? Look at all this entrepreneur thing is just too easy, apparently. And then after a decade of just kicking ass and taking names as a lawyer or an attorney, a partner on top of it, you decide, "Hey, let's do..." You created 10 other companies. - Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, I'm a little bit of a workaholic. I just say, it's like... - Who'd have thought? Who'd have thought? A lawyer becoming a workaholic would never have thought that. My lawyer. So it's been quite the career. And I started at your press about five years ago to really try to give back. They say you spent the first half of your work life creating your resume and the second half creating your legacy. And that's where I am now trying to help as many entrepreneurs that wanna start their own businesses as humanly possible without going completely insane. - As we know as entrepreneurs, you go and completely say it as a very thin lie. - So exactly. - And that you play on here. - You need to know. - You never know which side you're on in a given day. Now, I have to know that out of those 10 companies that you created, were they all like successes like your first, your topic up with me? Or were some of them unfortunate, quote unquote fails? What I like to say, it's a lesson in learning. You didn't fail, you're first attempt in learning or you're first attempt in living. - Yeah, you know, I fortunately had about a 80% success rate. Two of my companies I took public as the CEO. Two others were acquired by public companies. I have another one called Imagine Communications that's still private, but it's the billion dollar a year company now. And my biggest failure is something that everybody uses anytime you cut and paste anything on your computer or your phone. That was my original technology that I couldn't get funded and got taken by Microsoft for pennies on the dollar company called Azure. And we were just ahead of our time, which is gonna be one of the lessons we talk about today, being out of your time. - My God, I am so happy that we were here. That is amazing, 80% success rate. And now you are helping people with Idea Pro. How did Idea Pro's come about? Like, what was it that sparked this idea? - Sometimes I think about enormous stupidity, because I'm working harder than I ever have in my life. As you said, I'm not that young anymore. But I was looking for, I just exited my last company and I was looking for something that could have lasting value, the financial value, but the last thing value in changing people's lives. And so I wanted to, by the way, my 80% success rate is not because I'm a genius or anything, it's because I find opportunities. And the same thing, when I started Idea Pro's, I wanted to find what is the market that's robust, that's growing, that has scattered competition, not doing anything well. It has a real opportunity with very fervent customers/clients. And entrepreneurship turned out to be the thing. I wasn't expecting it, I was doing my research and all of a sudden, when I was a kid, maybe not when you were a kid, but certainly when I was a kid and when you thought about the rich people, you thought about the doctors, the lawyers, everybody went, maybe I became a lawyer because my grandmother used to call me (speaks foreign language) which means the little attorney of the lost college is when I was three. So maybe that's why, but that's what they wanted you to be. Lawyers, doctors, local business owner, or movie stars or athletes, that's what we thought about when you thought about the wealthy and people who hadn't made it. But now with social media, it's all about entrepreneurship. Everybody wants to be an entrepreneur, everybody's bailing out of corporate America to start their own thing as you did, as was all these listeners hopefully are doing. And the reality is you have some 20 year old kid in front of a Lamborghini saying, "Hey, give me $500, I'll make you a millionaire in a week." And it's all bullshit. And so therefore, I saw this huge opportunity because 94% of the multi-millionaires and billionaires who classified themselves as entrepreneurs all went to prestigious schools. 60% of them have advanced degrees from those schools. They have professors that can make a couple of phone calls and get you $10 million for your raw idea. And the rest of us are outsiders and we don't know how to play the insider game. We don't know the infrastructure, the connections, the things that we need to build and how to build them in order to be successful. And so that's why I started IdeaPros. - I love it. I love how you're taking the, what's happening behind closed doors in essence of the high end and just opening the doors pretty much. You're opening it up and saying, "Hey, this is the secret to most success." While also, like you said, you're creating your legacy 'cause this is probably gonna continue going 'cause you're in a blue ocean. There's no one helping entrepreneurs build their business. There are people helping startups and SaaS businesses and all that, but no one who's specifically an entrepreneur and I love that, I love that you're doing this. - Yeah, the thing is the help there is for this solo person that's bailing out of corporate America is basically, if you needed brain surgery, the only thing you could find is good brain surgery equipment, not a surgeon. And so we actually become your co-founder. The best co-founder you could ever have because we've been there and done that. I have a complete team that actually builds everything for you, it's like a company in a box when people come and work with us. We train that, but we also build with them and we are the co-founder, the co-owner. And so, the chances that that entrepreneur has is a lot higher than they would otherwise have. - Plus, you have someone who has an 80% success rate in his own 10 businesses. Like, that's not a bad thing, a hat to hang on as well. - Yeah. - Plus, you got bought by Taco Bell. So like, for me, that's gonna be the story of this whole episode. I talk with someone whose business was bought by Taco Bell. Like, that for me is just a great little caveat to have, Fred. When you're providing advice to these entrepreneurs, 'cause these entrepreneurs, obviously, they're in different stages, what is a common piece of advice that you do provide to these entrepreneurs to help them through? - Yeah, don't listen to your mouth. That's the advice. You know, and I'm a little facetious, but not really, because the reality is we go into entrepreneurship completely blind. And the reason, as I said before, for my success rate, it doesn't have anything to do with my intellect. It has to do with understanding the game you're going into. You know, what is the size of that market? What's the growth? I don't recommend getting into a typewriter business, for example, you know? But you think, well, I love the noise, and this is great. And the reality is you find a good market that's growing, that you find competitors that have proven out the market for you. We're all terrified of competition, but they're the ones showing that there's a demand, and you study those competitors, and you see what's wrong with what they're doing, and what all the audience is saying, "Ah, one star review, these guys don't do this one thing for me." Do that one thing, and that's how you become successful. You know, find a market, find a market that's growing, find a market with opportunity, find customers that are hungry for what your solution is. You have a pretty good chance of succeeding, and yet we go in blind because mom says it's a great idea. So not listening to mom and listening to the market is probably, that's the best advice. And I have to say, sometimes, as much as moms love us, they probably err more on the side of caution than anything. And they just want their babies to be safe, and just like any mom. And we love them nonetheless, very great advice. When you're going through this, when a new client comes to you, a new entrepreneur/partner comes to you, what are some of the prerequisites that you look for in before someone can come and join ID pros? - Yeah, the most important thing is something I never even looked for in the beginning. And that is the character of the person that's coming to us. Do they have, and you know, starting your own deal, you have to have perseverance, you have to look at a failure as an opportunity towards your path to success. You have to be resilient, you have to be able to pivot when you see that what you're doing is maybe you're in the right place, but you're not doing the right thing. And so you have to be really, really flexible. You can't be a person that blames everybody else for everything that happens because shit happens when you're starting a business. And so you look for that person first, and then, you know, is this a good idea? Because even if it's a pretty good idea, if you have somebody like that working on it with you, you can turn it into a great idea. You could have a great idea with somebody who, a couch potato, and it's never gonna go anywhere. So the very first thing we look for is the person. - I love that, all right. I wanna talk about when you do have those failures, 'cause it does put us into a dark place, and some of our listeners, when they do start, they're gonna fail 'cause failure's part of entrepreneurship 'cause that's where you get those lessons. I wanna know when you're facing those difficult times, you probably don't have as many as you do today as you did when you first started, but when you're facing those difficult days, what do you do to kind of like ease the hardships? - Yeah, I wanna correct you in two places. Number one, it's not gonna be some of the audience. Every one of you that are gonna start a entrepreneurial journey are gonna have some failures. And number two, this is the hardest it's been for me with this company, even with all my experience, 'cause if you stop and think about it, 400 startups is what we have now, 400, and I'm jaddying to everybody. And so every little problem that every single startup has, they come to me to try to fix. So it's really, really hard. And the only way I've been able to handle it, because of 400, you're gonna have 10, 20 that hate your guts because they went into the launch and be successful right away. And you didn't do enough for them when they didn't, when the reality is 90% of all venture capital startups fail. So you got that stress to deal with on a continual basis. And the way that I handle it and the way I suggest for everybody else is become immune to it, to literally understand that that's part of the process. And there are things you can control and things that you can't. And the things you can't control, you just have to say, all right, what's the worst thing that could happen? And accept that worst thing and own it. This is the very worst thing that can happen. Okay, it's all uphill from here. I can make things work. What we do is we dwell on things that many times we can't even control. Like one of the interest rates is going to change. When is the economy going to be better? You know, are we going to go to war with Russia? Like all these outside things that we think affect our business, that we have no control whatsoever over. Get rid of all those things, embrace the worst thing you could possibly happen. And then your stress level is going to go way down because you have just put that off into a little container on the side and you go about your business. Kind of, I love that. Making the, quote unquote, "possible" or the potential, something that's real and then just putting it off the side because if it happens, okay, I know it's going to happen. It's going to happen. I'm going to do everything in my power to look at what's the positive aspect of it. 'Cause if you deal with the shit, if you will, you won't become legendary. And that's why I love your, quote, a fuck average, be legendary. 'Cause it's a powerful mantra. And in the context of entrepreneurship, how do you define and pursue legendary success? Like how did you decide like, this is the legendary success I want to go to and not the average other people are aiming for? - Yeah, and by the way, a fuck average, be legendary. Now a registered trademark office gave that to me. But I'll make sure to put a GM on it in the-- - I put a R on it, we post the S, so. - Yeah, like pirate and I go to a jar. So in any of that, you can tell I raised two girls but myself, I have all the bad, dead jokes. - So, yeah, the reason is anybody can be average, you know, but nobody wants an average life, right? Everybody, average, yeah, but you know, I want a mozzarella, I want a Lamborghini, I want a big, huge house. I want a pool, I want to buy a home for my parents. I want to never have to worry about money, I want to be able to travel everywhere. What extraordinary thing did you do today to make your way towards that path? But one little thing that's different from average today that's going to help you go down that journey. And so that is what I try to give people to look at. If you want to change the world, if you even want to change your world, you have to change your behaviors, you have to change the things that you do. And by the way, it's like eating an elephant, you know, one bite at a time. Find one little extraordinary thing you do every day. It could be reading a book on business that you never even picked up on. It could be doing deep research into one of the competitors that you think, once you finally get the balls to start your own business, that you think that you're going to go head to head against, learn something that's different. Sign up for Blinkist, for God's sake, since if you guys haven't signed up for it, and I am not a promoter of it, I just have an account there. You can get 15 second versions of almost every single book in the world. Many times spoken by the authors and learn, just learn, just do the things that are going to take you outside your comfort zone and do one little extraordinary thing every day. Get a journal, write it down. Today, a little extraordinary thing I did was listen to this show and start here and go every day and find something. Wow, that's some powerful advice, and I love it. 'Cause if you want to be extraordinary, you want to be legendary, you need to do the legendary things. You can't just assume, hey, if I just live my life like everybody else, I'll do that extraordinary things. And you are, Fred, if anything, you are proof in the pudding that if you do one legendary thing, you can end up helping 400 startups just now. And by the way, we've had 100,000 applications to work with us here in the last three years. So it's been crazy. Geez. That's a, that's a, that's like a, what, a 1%. I'm not good at math, but I'm guessing that's like a very small percentage of people transferring over. One percent, I think, would be what, a thousand? So you know, I'm never a percent. Yeah, I'm working. Yeah, well, let's have this. But I've spent the last year of not taking any new partners and coming up with a whole new model so we could help almost everybody starting at three. You know, we can talk about that at the end. But literally, if you didn't have the capital necessary to work with me as a full-on co-founder, we had nothing for you, but that's all about the change. Ooh, I love that. Nice little tease for when you come back on the episode, Fred. I would want to know, you've obviously had a very long life in the entrepreneurial world. You know, you talked about when you were very young, starting that taco business, and then taking a decade off just to relax, you know, to become a partner at a law firm, and then, you know, 10 companies and now ID pros. You've invested in yourself a lot, 'cause obviously, to get to where you are today, what is one habit of investing in yourself that you think more and more people need to do? You know, I've been on a lot of podcasts and nobody's asked me that damn question, and it's a great question. I'm very happy now, 'cause I always love hearing, at least one of my questions being, I've never been asked this question. Yeah, so here's the thing, and I do this religiously. By the way, I'm 73, but I read it at an 80-year-old level, and I take care of myself before I take care of my business, and so you've heard people talk about the five A and a club, and things of that nature. I get up, not because of that stupid thing, but I happen to get up at five o'clock. I have a trainer that comes here five days a week, spends 90 minutes kicking my ass. I have employees that are guys in their 20s to come work out with me. Five have, four of them have thrown up halfway through the workout, and the other one just left and quick. So it's not like, "Oh, man, workout." I'm working my ass off, and then when I finish that, I'll meditate. I will do positive affirmations, and I will express something I'm grateful for. And it doesn't have to be, you can better take it for 30 seconds to get started. You're instead of 90-minute workout, and you can start out with 10 or 15. But the point is, if you start every day working on you, then the you that goes to work is gonna be a lot brighter, upbeat, focused on positivity, and starting every single day like that is gonna get you a lot further along, because you're taking care of the instrument that takes care of the band. - I love that, and it's really funny. I read a quote from that Tim Ferriss re-blogged about how what's running this very technical biomechanical suit is a three-pound piece of bacon, pretty much, that's just saltin' and water, pretty much. And like, yeah, you're right. If you take care of the machine, take care of the brain, the body, everything else is gonna work forward, because you're already coming in, your energy is positive, you're already thankful for the day, you already accomplished something, a 90-minute workout that puts 20-year-olds over the edge, thinking they've probably drank too much. - Wow. - And just makes everything better, and it shows like, hey, a small thing will improve your life. I love that, and I think that's a great thing. Did you always do that, or was that something when you finally reached a level of success where you were comfortable, you were able to start implementing it more? - I did it more and more, as I realized, yeah, if I knew I was gonna live this long, then take better care of myself. And when those moments hit, like 50 or so centuries ago, that's when I started being religious about it. But I always tried to really take care of myself, and lately, you have been mostly vegan for the last year and a half, only not because of all the baby lambs that are being killed, although, no, I'm sensitive to that. Because there's a show called The Ganey Changers, and if you guys love bacon, don't watch it. It's about athletes. The biggest, best athletes in the world. I'm Brady Messy. Bernaldo, the Williams sister, Hussein Bold, the best of the best, the strongest man in the world, all switched to vegan diets, and got a lot better, a lot healthier, a lot faster, a lot more stamina. I have two young of a girlfriend who can't keep up with me. - And I do that. - This whole vegan lifestyle that I had, but again, different things for different people, but I'm focused on making sure that I'm up and around and alert and able to go kicking and screaming to my grave at about 120. - I love that. I love that, your goal is 120. So where do you see idea pros in the next 10 years? Where do you see it going? What do you think of, what are you doing when you're hitting that next decade? - Yeah. You know, like everything else when I said in the beginning, but being persistent and embrace your mistakes, we had a ton of them with idea pros when we started, as I said, when I was first looking at people, I was looking more, you have an idea and you have enough money, I wasn't really looking at the people. So there's a big learning curve in what I did it. And the kind of end of that first learning curve was, I'm not servicing enough people. And you know, what can I do to make things better? And so the idea pros of the future is gonna, God please forgive me for saying this, I'm trying to get to be like an Amazon for entrepreneurs. And I hate when people are like, "I'm gonna be the Uber of this" or, you know, the Google of that is I hate that expression, but only for illustrative purposes that I wanna be the place where, anywhere on your entrepreneurial journey, if you need help, if you want advice, if you want to learn things, idea pros is gonna be the first thing you think about. I'm in the middle of a roll-up right now, I'm rolling up six other companies into idea pros, which is gonna get us really, really well on our way of being that entity, but solutions for everybody, starting it free. In fact, idea pros.com, let me give a tiny little plug. If you go there, the very first thing you see is free membership. If you're thinking about being an entrepreneur, go on there, we'll give you all sorts of advice every single week for free. Twice a month, I have three hour workshops, free. You go in there and you learn deep dive into different subjects. And I think for any entrepreneur you go, you should start there. Well, you just sold me, even though I'm already well established on my entrepreneurial journey, I'm still gonna take more knowledge that I can use to help me grow into a better entrepreneur so I can avoid some of the pitfalls. Pardon me, Fred, we're coming to the end, which I hate because I know you have a, we already know you have 10 companies worth, just in the last little bit of advice to show, plus the 400 that you're working with, I'm definitely gonna invite you back because I would love to have you on the podcast again. However, I have 10 year old Fred here. He's not worried about dad, so he's good. He's looking to you for advice. What's a piece of advice you wanna give your 10 year old self? And I don't know if this is on, the advice is gonna be entrepreneurship or not. But the biggest advice I've given to myself is find something that you're passionate about and then make it that your life's journeyed. Regardless of what it is, whether it's working for somebody else, whether it's becoming that doctor or lawyer, whether it's being an entrepreneur, find something that really turns you on as a human being. And if you can find that and connect that to what you do for a living, then you're not gonna be working. And a lot of us, we chase the wrong thing. We're chasing after the dollar. How do I become really successful? How am I gonna be the alpha male in my game or alpha female in my game? Instead, find a thing that really, here's my test. You wake up in the morning and you put your feet down on the side of the bed. Are you smiling? And if you're smiling, you're doing what you should be doing. Find that thing that makes you smile. I'm say that to my 10 year old self, my 15 year old self, my 50 year old self. Find what's gonna make you smile and make that your life journey. - I think that's the best advice, my God. Fred, I'm gonna jump off stage here. I'm gonna take in that information again, that you just let us have. I want you to let my audience know where they can connect with you, how they can work with you and all that fun stuff. The floor is your sir. - Okay. And I'm gonna also give you guys a $500 thing for free. - If you go and follow me on Instagram, it's official Fred Kerry, C-A-R-Y.

It's a master class, all about entrepreneurship and all the different elements of entrepreneurship and what you need to know when you wanna go on your own and start your own business. It's normally around 500 bucks. Go big, use that code, go big, you know, or go home. Use go big as your code and it's free. 100% free, I've spent hours and hours creating that. It's 15 modules again on every single element of what we need as an entrepreneur. Go there, study it, do that. It's gonna give you an unfair advantage to get started. And again, ideapros.com, you're gonna give my free membership stuff if you sign up. And finally, you have a kick ass idea and you're ready to think about finding a co-founder. You can just write to me at Fred@ideapros.com. My executive assistant hates this, but so don't write unless you really got something that you wanna take it to the moon and you need a partner to help you get there. That's it. - My God, Fred, not only did you give us great amazing advice, you're also giving away the house and the store and everything else with the master class and the idea of pro's free membership and the go big. You really did go big in this episode and I can't thank you enough. I'm gonna put those, all that in the show notes down below. So thank you, Fred, for being on the show. - Well, I really appreciate it and guides. It's a long journey. Stick with it and you'll be successful. There's ups and downs and there's millions of failures. All you need is one more success in the failures. - I love it. - Fred, thank you again for being on the show. To my audience, make sure you check out the show notes. That's where all the good links are with the code to go big so that you guys can start that and take the course to become an entrepreneur. And remember, make today the day that you invest in yourself. (upbeat music) (upbeat music) (upbeat music)
