The 5 Stages of Business Interview with Joshua Latimer & Keith Kalfas
I have really humble beginnings. I was once a guy who struggled to dream big. I used to doubt I deserved more than I thought I could achieve. But then, reminiscing my younger self, I realized how bad I was at trusting myself and my skills.
We all dream to reach our goals in life and live a life some people think only occurs in movies, but sometimes, we sabotage our success before it even manifests. Today, we’ll talk about knowing ourselves and aiming towards our targets.
Joshua Latimer once had a safe and secure job at JP Morgan Chase, but he left everything to start a local cleaning business. His first two years were a real struggle, but as soon as he figured it all out, he was able to triple his revenue in one year. From then on, he’s been doing a lot of businesses and has helped thousands of other entrepreneurs succeed in their fields.
“Who you believe you are, what you believe you’re capable of, and what you believe you deserve are going to take care of 90% of everything. If you don’t deserve more than what you have, you’re not going to have more than what you have if you don’t believe it in your heart.”

Why do you have to listen to today’s episode?
02:00 – Your reality is a mirror of your mindset. Guarantee yourself. Think and talk about your vision and the impact you can make.
05:45 – Four distinct value levels determine one’s potential to earn: implementation, unification, communication, and imagination. A balance between all these is the key to improvement.
12:50 – Everyone has a system of their own. Be shameless enough to see if yours is serving you well and aspire towards the future version of yourself.
17:24 – Know who you are and what you’re fighting for. Have a strong connection with people close to you as you aim towards achieving your goals.
19:37 – Teach your kids ancient – not old-fashioned – principles. Teach them to be responsible enough to create value in this world.
22:29 – We all have a choice to either become a victim or an entrepreneur who believes we deserve more than what we have. Be the latter.
Key Takeaways
“The older I get, the dumber I realize I am. When you think you know everything, it’s just evidence that you know almost nothing. If you know lots of stuff, you realize that you know almost nothing.”
“People that pretend like money doesn’t matter forget how important money actually is.”
“Good communicators have an unfair advantage in life. The good news is that it’s a learned skill. You just got to put in the work.”
“Everything that was created in the world by man was created twice; first, in your imagination, and then it manifests into reality. If you spend no time daydreaming about your future and what could be, you’re gonna have a hard time doing big things.”
“The main thing that has changed over the last 15 years for me is my brain, and the main reason my brain changed is because of the people I spend the most time with.”
