[00:00:00] Kim Daly: Welcome to Create wealth through Franchising podcast and Kim Daly tv. I'm your host, Kim Daly. If you're ready to build wealth and the life of your dreams, this is the podcast for you. Each week, I talk to franchisees about their journey of leaving jobs, security, and their familiar life to pursue freedom and wealth on their own terms. We talk business ownership, wealth creation, legacy, success, principles, and so much more if you're building a life that you own and control.
Welcome to our community.
Now onto the show.
Welcome back to Create wealth through Franchising podcast and Kim Daly tv. In my studio today, he's a new friend of the Zee Suite. His name is Peter Carberry. He is Art of Drawers, Idaho. Peter. Welcome to the studio of Keith Kim Daily tv.
[00:00:55] Peter Carberry: Thank you, Kim. Thanks for having me.
[00:00:58] Kim Daly: This is gonna be a good one. I have hand selected Peter from my students in the C suite to tell his story of how he got into franchising. Because I have. Well, I have many goals, but I have one really big goal in mind. I love this man because he dreams as big as Kim Daly does. And when he told me the vision for what he wanted to build, I was like, ooh, Peter, will you join me on Kim Daily tv? And thank God he said, y.
Before we get to your grand vision, Peter, of what you're building, I want to go back to what was happening in your life when you decided you wanted to own and control cash flow and you wanted to invest in a franchise.
[00:01:40] Peter Carberry: Yeah. So, I mean, I've been in the tech world building mobility solutions for 25 years. Right. And even before that, I was building solutions as a machinist.
And that's relevant because I took my machinist stuff to woodworking and was doing those things in my own house. Right.
And that correlates with what our drawers is doing. So, you know, the cycle of tech world is higher and layoff, higher and layoff, and I'm not done working.
And so I started. I just opened my mind to everything, and I. Every job I get after a layoff has been better and improved my life. And so I'm like, let's just open this thing up to everything. And so the franchise thing popped up in my feeds as I was going through things. I'm like, okay, let me look at that. Right?
So that's kind of how it started. I was very suspicious about the ads that I saw because you never know what. What's out there these days.
And so I met up with, you know, probably someone, you know, and. And Annemarie's awesome. But I told her, I don't trust you. I don't. You know, I'm very suspicious about this whole thing.
And so we had a very honest conversation. She learned about me, presented a few options. Her of drawers just resonated, right, Because I'm creating spaces in my own home, which is tight for spaces. It's a 1929 brick tutor and I'm always creating new ways to organize things and, and using my, my machinist skills for woodworking.
So when she told me about art of drawers, it was just like, that's a no brainer. That's a no brainer. And then, you know, you meet the team, you meet Alan, who's awesome and his vision, the, the type of franchise owners he's looking for.
That was an eye opener for me. I realized that he was, he was looking for me and it really made me think differently about myself. So that was, that was the beginning of it.
[00:03:28] Kim Daly: Very good. I love it. Well, a little shout out to my friend and Peter's friend, Anne Marie Weaver, who she's a great friend of Kim Daly. I love that woman. So she did a great job matching you up. So let's go back. So how many layoffs had you gone through? Like how many years did you work in corporate America and how many layoffs during that period?
[00:03:49] Peter Carberry: So I'm nearly 60.
So I worked. I've been working since I was 12, but after I got out of school I was about 25. So I've been in corporate world for, you know, quite some time.
So I was doing project program management. I was electrical engineer. I worked for Boeing for a while. I worked for the Jet Propulsion Laboratory for a while.
And. And then with the iPhone coming out, I jumped into software and became a technical project program manager. So I've been building solutions in the software world for a long time. I did consulting over and over and over again with different companies in telecom. And then I landed at Zebra Technologies for 10 years and that was awesome. But all of those consulting jobs led me to be able to build solutions at Zebra.
And so I was building solutions for, you name the big company that you go shop at, and that's where I was working. So all the devices that you see out there, I had a big part in deploying those devices and making sure they're integrated with other back end systems, really taking the customer's information and desires and bringing it back to engineering and ensuring that those devices are ready for market.
So I did that for 10 years and then I did. And then there was a cycle of change.
But I loved helping people through. Through Covid. I mean, we. We changed the world with what we were doing, and I wanted to do that, continue to do that. And so while I was looking for work, the franchise things came up. So I've had a career of building solutions, and this is just building solutions for people in their homes face to face. I get to see their joy when we come up with a design that makes their lives better. Right. And then where we're heading with this questioning is my vision is to not. I can't do this alone.
Everybody needs to hear about Art of Drawers, otherwise they can't make a good decision to improve their lives. So my real job is hiring designers to go out and. And help spread the word.
[00:05:45] Kim Daly: Evangelists.
[00:05:47] Peter Carberry: Yeah, it is. You know, I don't want to go there, but that's really what I'm doing. Right. I want an army of designers to go out. And. And this isn't competition, as we've talked about in some of the things you've been teaching in the Z suite.
There's enough for everybody. And so it's not competition between designers. I just need more of them to get the word out. And I'm doing marketing and things like that. But that word of mouth is way more powerful. My. My experience in the family business that my dad ran, there was no marketing at all for his business. It was all word of mouth. And we can do that here.
[00:06:22] Kim Daly: 100%. You can do that. So I still want to. I want to, like, go back for the listener who. Who may be an engineer, who stays on the sideline because they think I'm an engineer. I don't know how to build a business. So I think there's a lesson in here somewhere. Peter, had you grown up. You mentioned you grew up in an entrepreneurial household with your dad, but had you grown up thinking, one day I'm going to own my own business? Or were you dialed into being an engineer and a contributor in somebody else's company? And if so, how do you make that leap? Or to say, no, I am qualified even as an engineer who's. Doesn't have an MBA or doesn't, you know, has never run a business before to go and do that?
[00:07:08] Peter Carberry: Yeah, it's a great one. It's a mindset I think I've always known, you know, learning from my dad. I think genetically I have that in me. Right. It's just kind of like being around it all the time. But that shouldn't stop people.
You, if you've been in business for a long time. You've seen leaders do things.
You've been with good teams, bad teams.
These people, engineers, they've all got good experiences. They can look at a franchise, find what. Find a good fit and, and can. They can do this. And they don't need, like you said, an mba. They need experience. And so that's why I wish I had done this at 40 years old, but I wasn't. Maybe I wasn't ready. Right? That door wasn't ready for me. That seed hadn't grown yet.
It just wasn't the right time. Right.
So here I am, and I'll tell you a story. I was down in. In training in. In Atlanta, and one of our franchise partners came into the room and I was talking about how I walk into the. To an appointment and I say, hey, I'm a new franchise owner and blah, blah, blah. And she's like, stop that. She's like, you're not a new franchise owner. You're the business owner of Art of Drawers. They don't need to know how long you've been a business owner. Own it. Be that business owner. I'm like, oh, that's a really good point.
So that was the beginning of this. Right. And then I heard your presentation. I jumped in to the Z Suite, started listening to you, and we've been talking, obviously, and.
And that's where the continuation of that shift kept going.
So I've always introduced myself and probably did it in when I talked to you, is I'm a project program manager.
Well, I realized that's the wrong way. I'm not a project program manager. I'm a business owner. I had a former life as a project program manager that I bring to this job, but I'm a business owner. Right.
[00:08:54] Kim Daly: And fundamentally, Peter, we call that an identity shift.
And when the identity shifts, the results of our lives dramatically shift. This is the work of the Z Suite. I freaking love that. Okay, so what you. I know you had a connection to the widget, so that was easy for you to make. The connection from your engineering life and building solutions to building solutions for people in their homes with of drawers. I get all of that.
Was there anything else to the franchising model that spoke to you even as an entrepreneur, like systems and tools and, you know, having things in place that you could see the structure for, how to build a business logically and feel confident in that. Was there more to that, like, buy into franchising than just, well, I found something that I connect with.
[00:09:46] Peter Carberry: Sure. You know, There's Discovery Day. You go down, you meet the team, you. You hear what they have to say. You're interviewing them, they're interviewing you.
You know, listening to the processes. And there's other franchise.
There's other people looking as well. So the six of us would ask questions and you're learning from each other and like, oh, that's a good point. I'm not, you know, I haven't been well versed in certain areas, so I'm learning.
Being open to learning is great, but in my world, I've been working with processes and programs for a long time. And so those things that come into play when you're talking to Adam, who's our finance guy, or, you know, Alan, who's done, you know, all this before, and starts talking about the processes and the tools that we're using and how we're continuing to evolve those tools, that all resonated with me. I'm like, okay, there's a good. Something good established here. This also has a legacy that goes back to 2016, 2006. So that was confident building. But there's just a lot of faith and trust in this team, so you have to go with your gut feeling.
But I. I felt like the.
The foundation was there. Anne Marie was really helpful educating me as well as well as Skip or. Sorry.
Oh, I just blanked on his name.
[00:11:02] Kim Daly: Anyway, I, I love what you said about the faith and trust in the team, because Kim Daly is. Has been quoted, you know, multiple times saying that franchising is who, not what.
So I love that you're. You're speaking that in your own words, that you got to know the team and trust the team and trust what they had done because they had a track record, because they had systems, and all of those things started to check boxes for you that maybe when you were out on the sideline before, you really explored a franchise that I don't trust you. Comment to Anne Marie might have been more based in that. Like, it's just a sales pitch. We didn't. You didn't know what you didn't know at the time, right?
[00:11:47] Peter Carberry: Yeah. And, yeah, there's a lot of trust and faith in making this jump. And I talked to a lot of franchise partners about that same thing. Like, did you have it all figured out when you went in? How did you know this was the right one?
[00:12:00] Kim Daly: Does anybody say yes to that? No, you figure it out in. Right. You have. You take it, and then the how reveals itself along the way.
[00:12:09] Peter Carberry: But these are all really intelligent people. They've all come from, like, industry, like me, right? And I'm like, okay, this is. You just.
It's almost. It's like, do you follow all the lemmings off the cliff? Right, right. And it's like, I don't think I'm following the lemmings here, you know, so. Good.
[00:12:28] Kim Daly: Okay, let's get to this massive vision. So when you invested in Art of Drawers, did you come in with this grand vision for. For building wealth, or was it more like, if I can just replace my income, I'll be happy? But then once you got in, you saw what you had, and you built a bigger vision. How did that go?
[00:12:48] Peter Carberry: I think it was a combination of both. It was like, I want to make sure I can support my lifestyle and maintain that wealth that I currently have.
But I was like, there's more here. And. And that was one of the things when I was talking to Alan, he encouraged. He wants empire builders, and I had a vision for expansion here, so I've got to start off with my territories. But he was like, you can build as much as you want. Right? And that freedom really was cool because I've been doing things like this.
When people tell me I can't do something, I go do it.
And that goes back to your vision type of thing.
So I have that vision. I know how to do it. I just have to execute on it. Right. And.
And I learned that right from the beginning. Alan and I talked about that. He said, you've got to hire designers, right? Got to get those people out there. That's how you scale the business. That's how you're working on the business, not in the business.
And so from day one, I knew that. Right. The reality of. Of doing that is what I've been getting from the Z suite.
And I had some time in there to figure out what I wanted to do, but the Z suite and you.
And. And a few other things that have gone on in the past couple of months has, like, gone. Yeah, I'm not crazy. This is exactly what I need to do.
[00:14:05] Kim Daly: Okay, let's. Let's talk a little bit about those details. So you get in. You start out as. As the designer, of course. I'm sure that that's how everybody's trained, right? Because you got to learn it. You got to learn your product, you got to learn your customer, you got to learn the sales, you got to learn the nose. You got to learn all the things. Right? But the vision is not to stay there. The vision is to then replace yourself and to scale this team of designers. So how do you go from I'm the designer to maybe like, the average franchisee at out of jurors? I have no idea what average is. I'm going to make it up. Let's say they're dreaming of having five designers. And you say to Kim Daly one day, I want to have. May I say the number?
[00:14:42] Peter Carberry: Yeah.
[00:14:43] Kim Daly: 100 designers. And I was like, peter, I don't. I don't have the story.
[00:14:47] Peter Carberry: Like, I don't even.
[00:14:48] Kim Daly: How do you go there?
[00:14:50] Peter Carberry: I don't even have a number. It's just. I want an army. Right. So
[00:14:56] Kim Daly: based on a certain number, amount of revenue, or is it based on a certain amount of influence, how do you arrive at this grand vision? Or did it just like. It's just a feeling or knowing inside of you?
[00:15:10] Peter Carberry: Yeah, it's. It's just. It's math. Right. If I want.
If I want to reach more people, then it's. It's like I need to hire five designers so they can reach five people and. And they can get five more people there and just keep growing out that way. So if I start with five designers, why not do more? And part of that comes from the way I want to grow.
So in my area, and I am unique in this franchise, my territories are six hours apart.
So the state of Idaho.
[00:15:41] Kim Daly: Not in Dallas.
[00:15:42] Peter Carberry: No.
And, you know, the state of Idaho is six hours. It's longer than six hours long. But that's from Coeur d' Alene to Boise, it's six hours.
And, you know, California is a very long state. Idaho is a very long state.
But I want to cut. There's no reason why I shouldn't be helping Eastern Washington or Montana, but all of those towns are three hours apart. So that's where my vision is. Like, I need a team of designer installer everywhere. So I need maybe two designers and one installer in every town.
And then you start to just kind of go along. You're like, okay, pick of all the towns. I need all these pairs, and that's what I've got to do. That's my job.
[00:16:21] Kim Daly: I love that vision. I love that vision. Okay, so you were.
How long were you in your franchise before you joined the Z Suite? You've been in the Z Suite. We're recording this In June of 2026, I believe you joined in April. Is that correct?
[00:16:38] Peter Carberry: That's probably right, yeah.
[00:16:39] Kim Daly: Okay, and how. When did you become a franchisee?
[00:16:42] Peter Carberry: So I became a franchisee. This is kind of the common story. We all buy in and then it takes a little, there's a ramp up. Right, right. So I bought in August of last year and I also got a job at the same time. So that was insane.
And you know, it rains for growth
[00:17:01] Kim Daly: and it comes in all the many forms.
[00:17:04] Peter Carberry: So I said, okay, I'll take that job. And and so I was, I was living in Seattle. I was driving over to Spokane, Coeur d' Alene every weekend, sometimes in a 24 hour cycle, just drive over, accept things in the warehouse, start to build the home show display, whatever it was. I was just working my, my butt off. And, and then I had a show in October and then I was doing designs kind of through December in, into January a little bit. And then I quit my job in January and we moved the family over in February.
And in February I can say I, I probably started in earnest. Right. I've, I use that first few months is kind of like get my feet wet, learn, be a designer, be an installer, go to training, you know, and I think that's the right way. Right. I think we all want to move faster. I definitely want to move faster, but I think you need to do that. So with my moving situation, it kind of forced me to slow a little bit. If I'd already been here, then maybe I could have, you know, started faster. But that's where I'm at today. And I think again, timing is working in my favor because this is how it's meant to be. I don't like it.
[00:18:15] Kim Daly: Yeah, everything's working in your favor. Everything.
[00:18:18] Peter Carberry: So February, February, I had a home show, a four day home show. I got us moved over into the rental house in 20 days.
I got set up for the home show. I did that for four days and man, I've been off and running. So February, March was kind of like, I just got to get to March. And then the team has been very supportive of all this chaos in my life. Jake and Alan and everybody in the home office, which is super cool.
And then I met you, you did a presentation to the team. And I did not want to be, you know, struggling in 18 months. I said, let's, let's go. Right.
[00:18:57] Kim Daly: So many people were wait until they're at a low moment in their business to raise their hand and say something isn't right. I'm working too hard. I'm not making money. There's no money in my bank account. I'm feeling desperate and I, I want to meet you in the Z suite before you get there. I mean, I'll meet you There.
But I want to meet you before you get there because why wait until you. It's like when I was a trainer, why wait until you get the diabetes diagnosis or have the heart attack to join the gym and change your fitness and get in shape, right? Like, do it before. Learn the fundamentals of how our results actually come and where success comes from. Because the world teaches us that it's the effort and the grind and the harder you work, the more successful you're going to be. But in reality, when you really study success, the most successful people in the world are not working that way. And this is what I teach. And I'm going to teach you to think from possibility instead of from limitation. And the limitation is just the lie of the human mind. It's the way we've all lived most of our lives, even if we're glasses, half full kind of people. Which, Peter, would you say you pretty much were your whole life?
[00:20:14] Peter Carberry: I'm a very positive person.
[00:20:16] Kim Daly: So, yeah, it feels that way and myself included. But when we learn how everything actually works, how everything that is created is actually created, we can become a deliberate creator of that experience. And then that aligns us to that. What we've sort of intuitively been guided to by the good feeling of believing that life will work out and the timing is right and. But when we understand the natural laws that actually govern that, it allows us to be deliberate, in fact, feeling that way. And then everything compounds. And that's how the results of our business and our lives start to change dramatically and very quickly. Can you speak a little bit to that, Peter?
[00:21:03] Peter Carberry: Absolutely. And I love that word because you and I talked about that beforehand. It's the word I found because I want to make sure that we use it deliberate, right?
I've had visions for things.
Like, I have ideas in my head. Like, that's what, that's what I need to do.
And I can go back and say a few of those things. One, building a house. We started to build a house three years ago. Doing the design, having the vision where we wanted to go, right? We're 60 days away from that. That coming to reality. We're 60 days away from the key, right? And that's been a fun process. But this has been a five year journey of like, where are we going to go next? What are we going to do?
Jump back. I have stories throughout my whole life and it's like, this is what I want to do, right? The solutions that I built at Zebra that people said, you can't do that, you know, the customer will never do that. And I'm like, watch me. Nobody's tried it with. I haven't tried it. Let's try it. Right? And just being deliberate and. And really working to make that happen. And it happens.
And, you know, I'm not surprised. Right. It's just. It's just work and vision. So, you know, what you've made me realize is this stuff didn't happen by luck. Right.
Whether I know it or not. Right. And I was. I grew up in. In a faith as well.
But, like, okay, I just have to be deliberate about this. Right. Write it down, repeat it, stay focused on it.
Don't let the.
The noise in the world or, you know, with whatever's going on affect that vision. Stay true to.
[00:22:40] Kim Daly: Doesn't happen by luck. It happens by law.
[00:22:43] Peter Carberry: Yeah.
[00:22:44] Kim Daly: And these are natural laws that we're learning in the Z Suite. And I just love that you came early because you didn't want to end up in a place where so many of. Of the members, students in the Z Suite actually are when they find me.
But thankfully, if they start doing the work that I teach them to do, their results can change and have changed very, very quickly.
I love this. Okay, so what have you learned about wealth and success that you didn't understand before you joined the Z Suite?
[00:23:18] Peter Carberry: That it's unlimited and it's available for everyone. It's real simple.
[00:23:23] Kim Daly: I mean, I didn't coach him to say that. People. That was amazing. Okay, can you expand on that a little bit? That. So you've learned through the Z Suite that wealth is unlimited. People are like, yeah, that's not rocket science, Peter. But like, how do you get that level of belief and certainty that comes in the tone of your voice?
[00:23:40] Peter Carberry: Yeah. I love you say that. Rocket science, because I work for NASA for a while.
[00:23:43] Kim Daly: But it's not rocket science only it is.
[00:23:46] Peter Carberry: Right?
[00:23:46] Kim Daly: Because if. Because I always say this like, it is rocket science because it's quantum physics. We're actually studying quantum physics when we study the laws that govern our success. So while it's simple, when you hear that success is unlimited living, that is not easy.
Because the world doesn't teach us experience doesn't teach us there's something deliberate happening. In order for him to say success is unlimited with such certainty and conviction in his tone. Back to you.
[00:24:16] Peter Carberry: So really? Yeah. So you might have an idea, right. But you have to really internalize that idea and make it part of your core, your. Your fiber, your nervous system. Right.
Not just like, oh, this is what I want to do. And then, and then as an engineer or anybody who has any process or any, you know, math skills or any, anything that you can start from a place and build something, well, then start from the goal and, and decompose it back to how do you get there? Right? And so that's what we're doing in the Z Suite, is learning how to do that and be deliberate about, okay, if I want that goal right, how do I get there? Right? And if it's that I want to make, you know, $5 million, how do I get $5 million? Well, then I need 100 designers that all need to make a hundred thousand dollars that's going to help them. And then you start to go, oh, what I'm really trying to do, I'm trying to help a hundred people get jobs and make money that'll help more people in their homes. And all this other stuff is going to happen naturally. Right? That's kind of a summary of, of what we're talking about. And yeah, it's just building. It's building blocks.
[00:25:24] Kim Daly: It's making the big things small.
But the one thing I want to stress is that I, as I was thinking about talking to you today, I had this, like, download, and I was like, I wonder if Peter has thought about this or if this is just an inspired idea that I am meant to pass on to you today.
So talking about the how. The how is never our job, right? The what is our job in the quantum field? The what with clarity. So what do you want? That's the number one question I ask everybody who comes to me to say, what is the C suite? And I'm gonna toss it back to you. Well, what do you want?
Answering the question, what do I want with clarity is the hardest question to answer.
Why? Because in our lives, we're not really allowed to want what we want, especially as we get older and we have responsibilities and families and obligations, financial obligations. We do what we have to do. I'll put it in air quotes, right? Because we have to be responsible. But what if that's all a lie? That's not actually the way we have to live. What if we get to want what we want? And we get to get it.
This is the deliberate, intentional life is unlimited spiel that, that Peter is speaking about that we study inside the Z Suite. This is where we. We start to think, Think from a different level of mind than maybe we've ever thought in our lives before. And it literally changes everything. So you've. You came here and you had a vision and now you see possibilities. So when we start to think from the inspired idea, we make the big things small. We think about the how, but the reality is, the how it will actually come is not our job.
The how works itself out because we dare to take the first step and we take the next step, and we follow the intuitive ideas, which I call the breadcrumbs. Right? In the Bible, it says, God is a lamp unto our feet. He doesn't light the whole tunnel.
It's one step at a time. So right now, Peter has a vision for how. It's a hundred designers, right, who are all doing a hundred thousand or whatever his. His vision is. But the how those 100 people come is not known.
So where my mind went this morning, thinking about, talking to you and thinking about, how does one attract 100 designers?
I had a vision that you went and you spoke to a real estate brokerage community, and in one sales presentation, 100 realtors raised their hand and said, I want to do that. He's laughing now. So tell me why. Why are you laughing when I say that? Because it's like the how can be 1, 1, 1, 1. And it might be. You might attract one person at a time and another person. Or you may enter a room and I say, the table is set, the feedback feast is prepared for you without you doing it, and you unknowingly walk into an opportunity where 100 people raise their hand on the same day.
[00:28:51] Peter Carberry: I love it.
[00:28:52] Kim Daly: How's that for unlimited thinking?
[00:28:53] Peter Carberry: That's awesome. And that's on my list, right? To have those kinds of meetings with groups of people.
And. And that's. That's on my plan.
[00:29:01] Kim Daly: And even if it's 30 realtors at one and you do another one and you get another 10, and you do another one and you get another five, like, the how doesn't really matter, right? Because it's taking the action in. Letting the universe bring to you what's equal to what you're asking for. And that's where wanting what the want becomes the most important part of the conversation. The human mind wants to be stuck behind. Yeah, but that's not reality. Yeah, but, Kim, you don't know my territory. Yeah, but that's not how it's going to happen.
But what if it could?
What if the only thing preventing it from happening in a magical all. Like, what if it doesn't take you 10 years to get 100 designers, it takes you one workshop, and then the problem becomes, how do I implement and train 100 people at one time? Instead of the problem being, how do I find 100 people? Peter, that's what we call a champagne problem.
[00:30:12] Peter Carberry: That's right.
[00:30:13] Kim Daly: These are the ways in which our problems shift once we start thinking from possibility. And it's so freaking fun, isn't it?
[00:30:23] Peter Carberry: It's awesome. That's exactly what you taught me when I was saying I need designers.
Your. Your direction was be specific about that design you're looking for. And that changed how I looked at things. I wasn't just being desperate and hiring designers. I want a hunter. I want someone like me who wants to go talk to people and spread this word and help people and put out that good energy to attract people to them, because that's what I'm doing. And like, I. I had mentioned you that one time after you're going through a session, I'm standing at a counter, and a truck driver walks in, and he looks straight at me as he walks in, and he says, the pilot doesn't have showers that are working.
And I'm looking around going, why did he just walk in and look at me and talk to me? And I realized that I have an energy, and he was attracted to me, and so it was kind of cool. I was aware of that in the moment.
Um, so anyway, kind of. We had talked about it, so I ended up paying for a shower. He was behind me a line, and I just said, hey, cover this guy's shower. But it was just one of those opportunities where it was like he walked in the door. I glanced over to see who was walking in the door, and he just started talking to me.
[00:31:34] Kim Daly: In every single day in every human's life, the universe is giving us opportunities to serve other people.
And when we serve other people, we always receive, because that's a fundamental law of the universe. I love that. And what I love is that your awareness was up. Right. We talk in the Z suite about being the one, about turning your magnet on you. I want you to attract the people, opportunities, and events to you, not chase.
[00:32:06] Peter Carberry: That's right.
[00:32:07] Kim Daly: And I always give the example of. Remember that guy or girl, like when you were in junior high or high school that you really wanted to date, and the more you chased them, the more you repel them. And then the minute you stop chasing, you're like, oh, forget it. I'm. You know, this is. I'm over this. What happens? They come right in. Well, there's. That's an energy that There's. There's physics behind how that works. That's how we push away money. That's how we push away love, that's how we push away clients. It's how we push away every single thing in our lives that we say we want, but energetically, we're repelling it instead of attracting it. So that's another very. I just love it. I love that you are aware and I love that now everywhere you go, your awareness is up. And the more you study this, the more you come back. The reason we come to the Z Suite every two weeks we come together to tune up our mindsets, to learn new things, to work with our nuances, is because through awareness and repetition of that awareness, the awareness will become the new normal. It will become the new way in which you see the world, in which you serve the world, in which you greet the world. And when you live from that level, that's when life becomes absolutely magical and you don't have to be perfect at it. Right? That's the best part. Like, you could have a down day. We're not talking about fake positivity. We're talking about just living from a whole new level of understanding of what's happening in the world, actually, and being in vibe with that on the frequency of that. And when you're in the frequency of that flow, that's where all of your goodness comes. That's where the clients come. That's where the 100 people come in. So it doesn't have to be linear time where it's, okay, this year I'm going to add 10 designers, and next year I'm going to add 10 designers. There may be from some franchisors out there thinking about how to grow their franchise. And that's what they're doing. They're trying to, quote, control that growth. And there's some magic to controlling growth in a franchise because you can. You can grow too fast and implode in any business.
However, there's also allowing the universe to bring to you what you're calling, what you're saying you're ready for and what you're repeating through your affirmation what you're ready for. That then allows the universe to then deliver that. And the how to handle the new problems that will be created will be the next challenge that the universe will then deliver to you. The universe is never going to deliver more than you can handle and is never going to give you a problem that it doesn't have a solution for. That's the beautiful thing of the whole thing. So I just love it. I just had to give the little teaching moment. Peter, I love what you're building. And I don't care if you build your 100 designer future, 10 designers at a time, or one epic conference at a time.
I want this to be the journey that you're on, to be just the. The. The sheer fun and magic and wonder of watching it all unfold. You do not have to effort to make that happen. You have to be the one who holds the vision, who dares to want what he wants despite the noise of the world, as you said. And the noise of the world will become very loud, especially right before your goodness is going to come to you. It's the darkest part of the night is right before the dawn. The final push in childbirth is the hardest push. Why? Because that's. That's life's greatest creative moment.
And you gotta want what you want, despite how hard it may seem to hold the vision. And when you do, that's when heaven and earth breaks loose and all of your goodness comes in. It's what I've experienced in my business over and over and over. And it all goes back to the way that you naturally and organically started this conversation, by talking about the identity you used to define yourself as this person.
And now you say, no, I'm a business owner.
[00:36:23] Peter Carberry: That's right.
[00:36:24] Kim Daly: So beautiful. So I appreciate you coming and sharing your story. I cannot wait to watch this whole thing unfold for you. I know it's going to happen. I know it's going to happen in record time. I know you're going to be a top performer at Art of Drawers. There's just no doubt in my mind, because you're you. You have a vision. You understand how this works. And now you're. You're doing it confidently and boldly or with that deliberate intention. And there's no stop in that.
[00:36:52] Peter Carberry: Yeah, it's been great working with you, Kim. I look forward to, you know, continue to do that. But thanks for inviting me on. This has been fun.
[00:36:58] Kim Daly: It's so good. So before we end this show, Peter, for those people who may be on the sideline, the engineers who may be on the sideline, thinking, oh, yeah, but Peter doesn't know me. He's an engineer who did it, but I don't know if I can do it. And, and even for those business owners who may be.
What your identity, your. Your magnet. What is she talking about? Give these listeners some, like, epic advice. Just summarizing what franchising and building wealth on your own terms means to you and how the Z Suite is solidifying the path to your success.
[00:37:37] Peter Carberry: So any Doubts that I might have had.
Even though I have vision, there might be a little doubt in my mind.
[00:37:45] Kim Daly: Of course we're human, right?
[00:37:48] Peter Carberry: But the Z Suite is helping me understand how that operates and to focus on the vision, work the problem, right? Put those doubts aside because they're only getting in my way.
And. And let's go execute, right? So if you're out there and I've done this with, with people who've been laid off, I. I've said, hey, have you thought about franchising? Right? And this is what I did. And I tell them my story.
And there some of them are younger, quite younger than I am, and I'm like, do it now, don't wait.
[00:38:20] Kim Daly: Such great advice. Do it now, don't wait. Ready is a choice.
I love it. I love it.
