Coach Willie Blake shares his journey from struggling with dyslexia as a child to becoming an author, speaker, and coach who helps others transform their limitations into advantages. He explores how dyslexia can be viewed as a different way of processing information rather than a disability, with unique strengths in pattern recognition, big-picture thinking, and empathy.

• Overcoming childhood challenges with reading, writing, and speaking due to dyslexia
• Transforming the limiting belief that dyslexics are "behind" into seeing dyslexia as a superpower
• Understanding dyslexia as a different processing system rather than a deficiency
• Breaking down the myths about dyslexia, including that all dyslexics read backwards
• Helping dyslexic children by focusing on their strengths to build confidence
• Using the 2% Rule - taking small daily actions toward goals
• Implementing the GPS Goal Method: Get clear, Plan it, Start now
• Recognizing perfectionism as the biggest mindset trap, especially for dyslexics
• Embracing "messy" progress over perfect planning

Speaker 1:

welcome back to one-on-one with mr you. Of course, I'm your host, mr you, in studio with us. Author, speaker and the host of light beyond limits coach, willie blake, is in the house. What's up? What's?

Speaker 2:

up coach.

Speaker 1:

Oh, everything's going great love thank you, thank you for letting me be on uh, nice, glad to have you here, brother, as customary for all of our guests that are coming through. The very first question we asked is about your upbringing and childhood. Does it matter if it's clean or messy, just bring it on, brother. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so childhood was had great parents, great support, but when it came to like so I'm dyslexic and throughout my entire childhood, reading, writing and speaking die hard the hardest things for me I'd stand up in class and I wouldn't want to read because I'd stutter and everyone would laugh at me whenever it came to reading books, like it took me forever to be able to finish a page while other kids were finishing uh, chapters and such. So, just like just throughout my entire entire yeah, there's dyslexia for you entire childhood. It was, yeah, it was just messy and sometimes I was lonely, other times I was just trying to catch up to the version that everyone expected of me, and it was about probably halfway through college to where I came across this statistic. It was like 95% of CEOs read 50 or more books a year.

Speaker 2:

And I got really inspired by it because for someone who read maybe an average of one book a year, reading 50 felt impossible. But I wanted it. So I started small, went from 12, one book a month to then 40, to then 50, and now I go through 60 books a month and from there, I've been able to Wait, wait, wait.

Speaker 1:

60 books a month. Yeah, 60 books a month. And from there, from there, 60 books a month, yeah, 60 books a month. That's astounding.

Speaker 2:

I thought you were going to say a year. Oh sorry, Sorry. 60 books a year. You are absolutely right.

Speaker 1:

But for a month I'm like you are incredible.

Speaker 2:

How many is that a year 60 times 12. That's 720 around there. That's nuts. How many is that a year 60?

Speaker 1:

times 12? That's 720 around there. That's nuts. How are you doing that? I'm off the ledge now. Keep going. Sorry about that.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, A year, 60 books a year. So after reading that then just kept on going to then being an author of my own book and co-author of bestselling books, to then start my own coaching business specifically for dyslexics Not only just dyslexics, but entrepreneurs and professionals who want to get clear and actually get results with their wiring. And then, yeah, then this whole whole last year I've lost a lot of weight. I was at two, 95, nice chubby cheeks, and now I'm down to two, 65 pounds. Thank you, man. And yeah, just just like from that that little shy kid who wanted just to feel like he fit in, it's just. It's just. It's just been a whole process of emotions and loneliness to figuring things out, to finally being like I'm just me, I do things messy and that's okay.

Speaker 1:

Man. You're an inspiration brother. Trust me on this one. You're an inspiration man. I've been talking to more folks on this topic and they've been our guests on the show. You probably can find them on listening platforms or social media and everything, and you got the the most massive amount of energy. And even in our pre-interview I saw insights and I heard things that's like okay, this is a, this is a deep thinker, but he's also a feeler and he and he, he gets what's going on and he's trying to be in tune. I'm like this. It just goes so counter to what I thought dyslexia was really all about and that that has touched my household and took my home in significant ways. But, in your assessment, what is dyslexia?

Speaker 2:

yeah, dyslexia, I gotta break things down to the simplest of its form. So dyslexia, yeah, we, we process things differently. So it's the way of when things come in with our senses, to how inside of our heads, how we interpret it as well as how we communicate it out. So that whole like kind of three step process dyslexia is. We just process it differently. So the way our brain is wired makes it so.

Speaker 2:

If you and I were both at the same house and we're both wanting to go to Walmart to grab some groceries, you'd be able to just go straight to Walmart, be able to take the direct route A to B. For me, there is construction and there's traffic on the route, so I got to take a different route, the pretty much usually a longer route around, but I eventually get there. So when it comes to dyslexia, the way we process is different. That's why it affects writing, reading, spelling and speaking. That's why sometimes it affects math. That's why people see things backward. It's just the way that we take in information, interpret it and then communicate it out, that sometimes it just takes us longer, but then we always are able to get the result we want.

Speaker 1:

That makes sense. So that scenario wasn't a real life scenario. Right With the Walmart thing, that's not really what actually happens when you go to the grocery store right?

Speaker 2:

No, no, Usually it's the same route.

Speaker 1:

So tell me what a and I think this is a good insight to share with our audience. What does a fully functioning dyslexic person look like?

Speaker 2:

Looks just like your average Joe. Like it's just it's the people around you. You don't know, there's so many different studies. You don't know there's so many different studies. But, on average, about 10% of people around the world have some form of dyslexia, and so think about it If you are in a room of like 100 people on average, 10 of those people are dyslexic, and you just don't know.

Speaker 2:

You just don't know Because it's one of those taboo topics. It's not something you bring up per se, right? I know my wife and I have gone through a miscarriage before. You don't talk about miscarriages, and that you also don't talk about dyslexia. It's just not something. You're just like in a casual conversation with, hanging out with your buddy and you're just like yo, I'm dyslexic. They're like oh, I didn't know that about you, right? It just doesn't. It just doesn't happen. So what it looks like is just just the average person trying to, trying to find their own way to function in society. And aren't we all just trying to find that own way? The truth.

Speaker 1:

brother, this is a strange question. I didn't plan for this, but you sparked something. Stay you in a room full of people networking? Are you able to spot a fellow dyslexic, or do you have a question that you ask that you know? The answer is going to prove that they are.

Speaker 2:

I don't have a question that just comes off. Usually it's because I'm so forefront with it that because it's it's what I do as a business.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

I'm dyslexic and I teach other dyslexics and then that usually is the time where they're just like that is really cool. I'm also dyslexic and so there's not like like a, like a radar, you could say, when you walk in a room and just like you're you, not you, but you are dyslexic. It's more of like as you're talking about it and just sharing, sharing just what you know, and for me that's dyslexia as a superpower, as an advantage. People are like that's really cool, they come in close and they're just like, secretly. I'm also dyslexic and I'm like you got to say it proud You're dyslexic, you have this superpower that many people don't, so it's not a question. But as you talk, you find the people and you instantly connect.

Speaker 1:

What is that superpower? What does that mean? Why do you think it's a superpower?

Speaker 2:

Oh, my goodness, there are so many things that go into it. Like when we talk about problem solving and solving something, so many people if you think of it like a puzzle, they're looking for that one piece to put here and to put there. But dyslexics we have this ability to see things at a greater perspective, see the whole picture, ability to see things at a greater perspective, see the whole picture. So we're coming out and looking at that whole puzzle, thinking, okay, this piece goes over here, because this is where those pieces are, and then we're able to narrow it down and narrow it down and find where it goes, where other people might just like be looking.

Speaker 2:

Patterns is also great. When things are patternized and we just, it becomes repetition and a habit. It is difficult to take that away. So me and my brother are dyslexic. We can't. We can't read piano music for the life of us. But if we play the piano and we memorize a song a song for me there I think it's called green sleeves, but like a song that I learned when I was 12, I can still play today, just from the muscle memory and the pattern.

Speaker 1:

Wow, that's good.

Speaker 2:

And then also probably the biggest one, the empathy side. Just like we're able to be empathetic just because we've been through so much, so there's so many great things that go into it. Sadly, society the way that it teaches talks about the negative side because that's what needs to be fixed. But when you focus on the good side too and be like, yeah, there's those things that you are weak at and can help with, but man, you got some superpower stuff that you're able to do too, I love that.

Speaker 1:

Is there a myth that you would like to dispel about dyslexia, because I know that there's so many in the interviews I've been having recently about it? There's just so many things that people just get wrong all the way back into post-World War II era that the mindset about it is just totally not what's actually happening Is there anything that you think is a myth about it that you want to bust open today?

Speaker 2:

There's several that come to mind there's several that come to mind, which is like all dyslexics, don't read backwards. That's just one part of it.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

All dyslexics. They also don't all show it with reading, because someone can read something out loud very well, but then it takes them ages to read quietly, like just the ability to do that. But probably like the biggest one is we're not a problem, right. Say that again we're not a problem. Dyslexics aren't a problem in society. We have not failed our families, our education system, this earth.

Speaker 1:

We have not failed it because we are dyslexic.

Speaker 2:

That is probably one of the biggest myths I am fighting to break, because the truth of it is we are simply human beings that think differently. And if that's something to be disgraced and to feel lonely about and to feel like we got to catch up with everybody else, I want to break that open so wide and help them see the good side of it. Because, oh my goodness, if someone were to see the value that if they are freaking dyslexic and struggle with, yeah, this one thing, but have this list of everything else, I want them to see that worth. You're not the problem, You're the solution.

Speaker 1:

I love it, man, I love it. So, when it comes to the rearing of children, is there anything that you teach that helps children learn, who maybe perhaps don't learn like other people do?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah, biggest thing when I talk with kids, I have them focus on the things they do well with the interaction. When it comes to confidence and ability to believe in yourself, there's a correlation between how much it affects your brain when it comes to whatever you struggle with, whether it's the reading side of it or the speaking or seeing letters backwards. There's a correlation between the confidence that you have versus the mind power that you can put to it. So whenever I talk with kids, I talk about what they're great at, I talk about things that they like, because then they get these smiles, they get this confidence.

Speaker 2:

And then they go back and they're like open a book and read it and all of a sudden they can read a little bit faster.

Speaker 2:

All of a sudden they're stumbling over words a little bit less. And so a great quick example is a mom was actually asking me kind of the same question. She said how do I help my kid so that he can read better? And as we talked I said he loves soccer. So I'm just like have him play a little bit more soccer, have him play and practice outside.

Speaker 2:

Maybe get him into some games out there with kids playing soccer with him, have him actually do the thing that he's strong at, do the thing that he absolutely loves, because there's that correlation of being able to be confident in doing what you love and the mind power. And so she did that. She started having her kid plays a little bit soccer more and the crazy thing happened the kids started to be able to read the flashcards a little bit better and started to be able to learn. And I think there's science that goes into it. But I think the bigger part is when kids are happy and when kids love what they're doing when it comes to even the hard stuff that happens afterwards the energy carries through.

Speaker 2:

So when it comes to those when and then, man, that can, that can happen to teens, that can happen to you, that can happen to adults. So, yeah, just just with kids. I always on like what do they like the most? Because when they focus that energy on things they love, it trickles down into everything else.

Speaker 1:

No, that's beautiful man. I want to get more into the work you're doing with dyslexic professionals in your coaching. But talk to me about the podcast, man. What got you started with that? What was the impetus for launching this thing, man?

Speaker 2:

talk about that a little bit, yeah, yeah, the impetus for it, like the energy to drive into it. It's. It was more of a selfish. Two parts there's a selfish and then the selfless part, the selfish part was me wanting to just get better at communicating. If you listen to my first episode, man, I was so bad.

Speaker 1:

That's self-help.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I was cringing when listening to that first episode again. But, I wanted to learn how to communicate better, so I started it. But I also wanted to teach people how to break through their limits, because my podcast is Light Beyond Limits.

Speaker 1:

Love the name, man Fantastic.

Speaker 2:

It's that talk of like the breakthroughs and stories that people have had with their limitations, and then the lessons that they learned from it. So I have people on, I share my own stories and it's just there to be able to give people more of that light.

Speaker 1:

Okay, let's get into some of the things that you're doing from a coaching standpoint. Yeah, with all the challenges you had, you decided to go into high performance coaching, which is kind of where in the genre I'm into. That's why we can't do so much. I'm doing the same thing, exactly just for a different audience. I guess you could say but why did you get started doing that and what have you been seeing?

Speaker 2:

yeah, got it. Got into it because I've always wanted to be a teacher when I was a kid, um, but didn't want to go that traditional route because teachers that weren't nothing against my teachers. I'm sure they were doing the best that they could, but they weren't really my bestest friends growing up sure so I'm like I want to.

Speaker 2:

I want some teaching side, and as I got into learning more about what coaching was and I said this is pretty cool, I want to do that and so I got into it started, um, started just offering like free advice, trying to figure things out, learned what things worked for me and can hopefully work for other people, and so over the years just built it to now helping dyslexic entrepreneurs and professionals to build that clarity, get the plan and that blueprint they need and then actually do it. Because we usually get stuck in that it's either the stuck side of we don't know what we want or the stuck side of I don't know how to get there, or the last part of I know those two but I don't get the results. I actually don't take the action to move forward, and so I break down my stuff to fit into those three, because that's really what most of it comes down to is one struggles in those areas.

Speaker 1:

What's one of the biggest challenges you had where you just didn't feel like you could help somebody break through. In that regard, whether it's a professional, maybe they without disclosing any personal details, of course what's? What's an example of a situation where, as a coach, you just couldn't help them break free.

Speaker 2:

That I could or could not. Could, not, could not yeah.

Speaker 1:

Unless you've got got 100% success rate, then my question doesn't mean anything.

Speaker 2:

No, no, I do not, definitely don't have 100% success, all right.

Speaker 1:

I should have asked that first. Sorry, go ahead.

Speaker 2:

No, no, no, you know, they're either success or they're lessons, right, fair, fair.

Speaker 1:

I like that. So yeah, they're either success or they're lessons right, Fear, Fear.

Speaker 2:

I like that. So yeah, the one I'm thinking about love them to death. I won't say their name.

Speaker 2:

No please don't. They wanted to reach 50K, making it over 90 days, because they had some things going up with family they had a lot of kids, and so they were trying to make 50K in a day. So we broke it down. Going up with family they had a lot of kids, and so they were trying to make 50K in a day. So we broke it down, came up with a plan for them to do and it was pretty simple because they had four different revenues. If they were just to focus on one, they would be able to get that in 90 days. They started strong. First 30 days they did great and then, after the 30 days, they slowed down.

Speaker 2:

After the 30 days, they, they slowed down and it man it was just hard to see, because the excuses that were stopping them before started to come back and and it's just, it's just the habits, the mindset and everything. And despite the calls, I don't know, I don't know where they sat, but they started to ghost me, they started to push, push me away, and then they just weren't able to achieve their goal. And so it's just like I think back to that story, I'm like what could I have done different? Like what is it that could have helped me? And so I've tweaked it and changed it since then. But despite everything that we do, sometimes it's just not our fault. And even if it is our fault, sometimes that's just what happens.

Speaker 1:

No, that makes a lot of sense. That person was kind of in a place where they were stuck. What's the 2% rule that you talk about?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah, 2% rule. So the 2% rule is doing 2% daily action every single day to get to the goal. So if your goal, if you think of like a video game bar or like a progress bar, going through like a survey, 100% that's completion, that's the end of your goal. 2% is breaking that down to such a way that you are doing your basically daily, consistent actions, building discipline. So doing 2% a day to then get you there. And it's big enough to where. Because a lot of people focus on one percent or the hundred percent. I always come back with what I've seen with my clients if you focus on one percent it does get a fire within you to actually do anything and it keeps you in your comfort zone. But then if you focus on a hundred percent, there's just so much on your plate you hit analysis, paralysis and then it's less like you don't even take the first step. So 2% every single day to get you to your goal.

Speaker 1:

Do the math, man. You talk about a 2% rule. How much is that in a 24-hour day? What are we talking about in terms of time? Have you already broken that down and done the math For somebody who is stuck? Say, for instance, I'm stuck and I'm playing employee 2% rule, how much time do I need practically to be applying? Is it like 12 minutes? What's the math?

Speaker 2:

It's. The answer of it depends on your goal. Let me give two quick examples that will help out with that. 2% of trying to get a million dollars is different than 2% of trying to read a book in a year, right? So if someone's trying to make a million dollars and they're in the blueprint that they come out with is that they are taking the speaking route of making money on stages Well then they're 2%. Daily stuff might look like they need to reach out to 10 event planners a day. And so reaching out to 10 event planners a day and not just like saying like, oh, I'm happy to connect with you on LinkedIn, no, actually like start a conversation with them and get them going, that might be their 2%.

Speaker 2:

But if you are trying to read, let's say, 12 books in a year, doing the math on that, if you want to read 12 books in a year, that's a book a month. The average self-help book is about 300 pages. So you take 300 pages divided by about 30 days a month, 10 pages a day. So if you want to read 12 books in a year, that breaks down to just simply reading 10 pages a day. Books in a year that breaks down to just simply reading 10 pages a day and that's their 2%. So it depends on your goal of what you want. But it comes down to what is that daily action you need to take that is kind of uncomfortable, gets you out into your growth zone, but then not so big that you don't take it.

Speaker 1:

No, that's good stuff, man. What's the GPS goal method? What is that get? No, that's good stuff, man. What's the GPS goal method?

Speaker 2:

What is that? Yeah, gps goal method. We kind of touched on it, just not in the format. Gps is the algorithm, acronym, acronym. So G is get clear, p is plan it, not like Mercury or Mars, but plan it.

Speaker 1:

And then Mercury or Mars, but like plan it.

Speaker 2:

And then the S is start now. So get clear. You got to know, just like if you were. If you open like Google Maps or Apple Maps on your phone, it asks you for two things. You got to know where you're going. You also need to know where you're at. So you get clear on where you're going and where you're at, to get that clarity the planet is. Then you break it down. Start with if you've ever been to like IHOP or a chain that has like the kids menu.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

And you got like the little mazes on there, I always go backwards, like I see it going backwards. So when I finally put crayons yeah, that's not cheating, no, you do it flawlessly Right, but you got it. That's what you got to do with your goal.

Speaker 1:

You start with the end in mind and then work your way backwards and then Mystery book that's going to be, that's going to be, this is going to be awful. You can't do that with a mystery book. You can't start at the end and kind of go backwards. That's not good.

Speaker 2:

Well, yeah but starting with the mystery book, that's the action part. We're coming up with the plan, we're coming up with the blueprint before we even start it. So if you want to write a mystery book, you know you got to break it down from like. In the end you want to be in stores and have the bestseller. Well, first you actually got to actually write the chapters. Okay, how many chapters are you going to have in there? 24? Cool. You got to write two chapters a month in order to reach that and you can break it down.

Speaker 1:

I've been reading it. I didn't even write it, I mean just reading it.

Speaker 2:

Oh I, thought you were talking about writing it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, trying to come to the mystery before you even go through the whole book. I don't know, that's good, that's good.

Speaker 2:

But like with reading it too, like what we just talked about, like 10 pages a day, like that's the planning part. Now you get to the start now part, which incorporates that 2% action of actually reading the 10 pages, actually reaching out to 10 event planners or whatever that looks like. So, gts, get clear, plan it, start now.

Speaker 1:

As a coach man, you're meeting a lot of people and you're having calls and FaceTime a lot of people and you're seeing a lot of things that hold people back. We hear about it all the time. We see it in our regular lives. What's the biggest mindset traps that you've been noticing in your spirit of influence? If you will, I don't have any Jeopardy music, so you're on your own.

Speaker 2:

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do. No copyright, copyright, it's the perfectionism. Wow, really. Yeah, because that's where a lot of people get stuck at is that they think things need to be done before they actually put it out. And especially for dyslexics, who their entire life have been told that they are behind, we are trying to catch up, and in that catching up, it's trying to make it good so that when we finally hand it to the teacher, they praise us for it.

Speaker 1:

Wow, professionalism, that's not what I would have thought. That's interesting. I like that. All right, just two more questions. I'm going to have you speak to our people and let everybody know where you can be located. But for you, just because of what you deal with and the challenges therein, what are some built-ins, if you will, for your self-esteem and for your self-confidence? What are the things that you kind of go to to make sure you keep those storages full, if you will? Yeah, it does make sense.

Speaker 2:

Two things One thing that I like and one thing that I love. The thing that I love is the people around me, my inner circle. I love my wife and I love my kids. They recharge my battery every single time. As well as my great friends that are in my inner circle, they also help me keep charged. So those are a big thing. And then the thing that I like I got to take time for myself. I got to do things that I love. One of my friends just told me about this thing called Elden Ring. It's a video game and he's just like dude, you got to play it and I'm like cool. So I got it and I think I've taken the time to do it. And then I have other stuff that I like doing too, but it's like, it's like the thing. It's the two things you gotta. You gotta find it, you gotta be around the people that you love and you gotta do some things that you like. If your job isn't something that you like, you gotta find it somewhere else to charge for, absolutely.

Speaker 1:

All right, you'll kind of hold down on the other thing that you like. I know it's held out on me, but it's okay, you can keep them secret.

Speaker 2:

I can share it. The only game I have on my phone is Pokemon Go. I love throwing Pokeballs and playing Pokemon Go. When I'm out walking my dog, literally that's my time to recharge. I'm walking the dog and throwing Pokeballs. There's so many things that I do that I like. I also just love reading before I lay down to bed.

Speaker 1:

I never would have guessed that.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, you don't know until you ask. You don't know until you share.

Speaker 1:

You didn't mention any sport. I'm kind of shocked. I'm like, wow, I just figured that you would say something about sports, but you didn't mention it at all. It's interesting.

Speaker 2:

Dude, don't hate on me, but I'm not a huge sports guy. I'm not a huge sports guy, I'm not.

Speaker 1:

I'm surprised and I'm awestruck and I'm in full amazement. But I'm not. There's no judging, I'm in full amazement. Oh, 100%, 100. I'm like I'm shocked by that one. Okay, but this is our last question. We asked all of our guests to come in. It's called the cmd question career, mission and vocation. You know it already. It's not to diminish all the work you've done. You've done fantastic work, helping people change their lives for the better. Temporarily erase all the work you've done career-wise, mission-wise, vocation-wise, what do you think? Well, can I say coaching, I'm taking off the too. What do you think Willie is most likely doing today, outside of all those things he's already done? What do you think he's doing today?

Speaker 2:

If I, if I take everything away, man, I want to. I want to write a really cool fiction series, one that's, one that pumps love magic, um books, like um books. Harry, harry potter is always up there, but like candy shop, war, fable haven and dragon watch, like michael vay, like I just love, like these weird superpower, um kind of not really like anime type stuff, but like suit, but like, uh, just like these powers and magic, I just love it it.

Speaker 1:

Dungeons and Dragons kind of deal, that kind of thing.

Speaker 2:

Say that one more time.

Speaker 1:

Dungeons and Dragons kind of deal along that line.

Speaker 2:

I do like Dungeons and Dragons, I do like watching it. Haven't played it yet. I got some dice from a friend that whenever it happens I'd love to jump in. But yeah, kind of that stuff.

Speaker 1:

Dungeons and Dragons dice. That's way over my head, but it's okay. I'm good with being not good, but, Willie, it's been great to have you on here. Man, Fantastic work by you. What you're doing. Man, Take a moment to let everybody know where they can find your work and, if you don't mind, take about 120 seconds to talk to the people about whatever's on your heart you want to share with them. Go for it.

Speaker 2:

I love it. You guys can find me at coachwillieblakecom and there you'll be able to find a link to all my socials and the podcast. You'll be able to find a link to be able to work with me or at least jump on a call to find a plan. I offer it free for people who listen to me to be able to just come up with that plan, and the thing I'd share is like perfectionism is dead. It's dead in this world. We don't need it. We need, we need to do things a little bit more messier. Things that are things that are too pristine. We don't believe anymore we.

Speaker 2:

There's a thing in the back of our head that just takes at it but, like, do things more messy. If it's 80% complete, start taking action on it. If the thought is 80% complete, start taking action, because it's the people who are out there doing it that aren't as smart as you. They're getting results and you're still sitting on the plan. So, my friends, like perfectionism is dead, don't think about it. Messy is what's out there now, still clean. You can be messy and clean, but worry about progress more than this perfection thing.

Speaker 1:
