#216 - Why Today Is the Day to Ask For a Raise

**Shaan Patel** (0:00)
All right, there's this amazing book called Getting Everything You Can Out of All You've Got. I read it a few years ago and it changed my life.
And the reason I loved it was because it basically talks about how to get and make more money using things that you already have.
Coincidentally, today's podcast is brought to you by Business Made Simple. It's a podcast by Donald Miller, who I'm gonna tell you about in a second, but he has this amazing episode that's all related to this book and the things that I learned in this book. It's called How To Make Money With What You Already Have. It's an incredible episode. It talks about all the stuff that I learned in this book. The host is Donald Miller. I didn't know who Donald Miller was up until recently, but over the last 12 months, this is totally by coincidence. It was all separate people. They said, you have to check out Donald Miller. He's amazing. So I'm happy that he's part of HubSpot's Podcast Network. You can check it out, Business Made Simple Podcast. It's where he coaches you on how to build your business like an airplane, where the cockpit is your leadership, the body is your overhead, the right engine is your marketing, the left engine is your sales. You have to check it out. This guy's amazing. It's called Business Made Simple with Donald Miller.
Would you rather own a small piece of something huge or a big piece or everything of something much smaller?
Let's travel. Never looking back.

Sam, where are you, dude? This looks awesome. You're at a pool or backyard. You're in the Hamptons. What's going on?

**Shaan Patel** (1:28)
I spent the weekend at my in-laws house in the Hamptons and I felt pretty sick yesterday. So I just stayed the night here. I didn't feel well, but I'm feeling fine now. But I'm in the Hamptons. It looks good, right?

**Sam Parr** (1:38)
I mean, it looks amazing. Yeah, it looks like what I've never been to the Hamptons.
Not even close. Never got an invite. I don't even know anyone that lives in the Hamptons.

**Shaan Patel** (1:48)
So let me tell you my way. OK, my opinion of the Hamptons.
Incredibly overrated. You want to know another thing that's incredibly overrated? Central Park. Central Park. So overrated.
Central Park and the Hamptons, both overrated. The Hamptons, it's not that pretty. It's not that pretty at all. So very overrated.

**Sam Parr** (2:09)
So what's the appeal? What is good about it?

**Shaan Patel** (2:11)
If you're in New York, it's only an hour and a half away without traffic. So you can go to the beach there.

**Sam Parr** (2:17)
So it's a little bit like Sonoma or Napa. I think those places are nice.
They're not the best. They're kind of boring.

**Shaan Patel** (2:25)
Napa and Sonoma are prettier than the Hamptons, without a doubt, in my opinion.

**Sam Parr** (2:32)
And do you feel different? You walk around, every car is like a Bentley or better.

**Shaan Patel** (2:38)
You have to have a Range Rover to fit in. It's crazy, man. It's not my style at all. It's not even remotely my style.
Did you see the Jake Paul and Tyrone Woodley fight last night?

**Sam Parr** (2:52)
Did I tell my wife I can't help with the kids' bedtime routine because I'm watching the Jake Paul fight? Yeah, I did that.
And I watched that fight and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. It was an amazing fight.

**Shaan Patel** (3:02)
I thought it was a good fight. I thought Jake Paul, I had higher expectations.

**Sam Parr** (3:06)
The drama was there. I'm not saying the technical boxing was great. I'm saying the drama was there. I didn't know what was going to happen beforehand.
And then every round, it still felt like anything could happen, which is what you want.

**Shaan Patel** (3:18)
The drama was so high. My anxiety level was equal to the best UFC fight, like the best grudge UFC fight. My anxiety level was equal to it. I thought it was amazing. We had Jake Paul on the podcast.
He was way different on the podcast than he was for this whole boxing thing. But anyway, it was a good fight.

**Sam Parr** (3:42)
I was like, hey, congrats to guest of episode 170 on your victory tonight.

**Shaan Patel** (3:49)
Yeah, it was a fun fight. I'm happy I got to watch it. It was more intense than any, as intense as any UFC fight I've ever seen. It was pretty badass. They've done an amazing job.
