00:00:00.000 If you're watching this and you feel like you're evolving,
00:00:01.960 you're expanding, you're growing,
00:00:02.980 next year, you should reintroduce yourself to your friends.
00:00:05.720 You're not gonna be the same person.
00:00:07.260 That's not how it works.
00:00:08.860 So I wanna share three specific points on how to do this,
00:00:14.600 that if even one of them you implemented into your life,
00:00:18.520 it would change the whole trajectory.
00:00:20.380 It would like skyrocket you.
00:00:22.440 The first one, the concept you need to understand
00:00:24.900 is you can't outperform your code.
00:00:27.580 there is a ceiling that has been set for you based on the mind your code that's running right now
00:00:34.680 and i don't care how much you want it how big your goals are how i meant for more if you don't learn
00:00:43.040 what i'm going to share with you you will not outperform your code most people run outdated
00:00:47.620 code written by fear and family write that down most people are running code in their mind that
00:00:55.720 was written from fear false evidence appearing real or family members the fear of judgment the
00:01:03.800 fear of being outcast the fear of disappointing the people we love and that's just not a healthy
00:01:11.460 first principles approach to winning in life when i go back into my 20s there was this like period
00:01:16.920 from pretty much 17 when i got out of rehab and i learned to code and i started business and i
00:01:22.380 fail first company second company it wasn't until i was 24 that i i got a mentor this coach named
00:01:28.700 bob no different than me for you and bob taught me a different way of operating the business side
00:01:35.720 of things and that's where i got really great at the concepts of marketing and sales and delivery
00:01:42.860 and like nerdy business things but the problem was is that i was running from a code that was
00:01:50.380 trying to escape the not enoughness. I was operating programs on top of an operating system
00:01:57.580 that was not worthy, trying to prove other people wrong, a very dark energy. And what shifted for me
00:02:04.880 was understanding that if I installed what I'm about to share with you, a more positive pull,
00:02:14.560 instead of like an anger, it was more of an expansion, what I call a light energy versus
00:02:19.500 of dark energy holy it was like a hundred times more powerful everything in my life shifted and
00:02:28.360 zeros got added to my net worth and relationships got so much better the trust the depth the
00:02:33.800 conversation finding my wife renee all of those things came on the back side of what i'm about
00:02:38.460 to share with you and i don't share those lightly like it is this powerful when i look back at my
00:02:44.220 first company, Spheric. And even though my mentor helped me go from two failed companies back to
00:02:49.600 back to doing almost a million in revenue in the first 12 months, what nobody knows is I got stuck
00:02:55.220 at a million for almost another year. So you understand I went from zero to 960,000 and then
00:03:01.480 stayed at like a million, million one. And it frustrated me because I'm like, well, how did I
00:03:06.300 learn how to do this and grow? And here I am. I don't know if you've ever felt like this, but it's
00:03:11.680 like I'm doing the work. I want to win. I'm showing up. And somehow I can't, the ceiling's
00:03:19.580 there. And the reason why is I can't outperform my coat. I had a belief of what I was worth. I had
00:03:26.620 a belief for what was a lot. And my mind at that point thought a million dollars was wild, was a
00:03:35.140 lot of money, was more than I ever thought possible. And the problem is, is that we have
00:03:40.560 these thermostats set in our mind and when they get low we heat them up right if our bank accounts
00:03:47.380 get too low we work really hard to fill them back up if they get too high we slow down and I didn't
00:03:54.000 know that my old high was causing me to not want to fight for more now it's not like I didn't want
00:04:00.160 it until you reprogram your mind and tell yourself and it's kind of wild because you actually like
00:04:05.420 literally have to ask yourself like how would I act if it was at a number that would make me change
00:04:09.360 my behaviors today how do you make the old high the new low do you see how that reprogramming has
00:04:14.240 to go it's got to flip you got to make the old high the new low you have to be like okay when i
00:04:20.960 get to 160 pounds i decide to go on a diet and right now i'm at 150 pounds and i feel really
00:04:28.760 good at myself because i'm not 160 but at 150 you start slacking off going to the gym you start
00:04:34.860 making worse decisions about what you eat you don't follow your meal prep you start having
00:04:38.700 desserts and then you balloon back up to 160 and then you're at like 160 and you're like okay I
00:04:42.780 gotta gotta get a bit more consistent and then you go down to 150 and you just oscillate see you
00:04:49.300 have to make it where you act the way you would if you didn't have it and that's where you gotta
00:04:55.820 reprogram the mind you gotta you gotta challenge yourself it's wild to see the mind do this okay
00:05:02.240 but that's what happened when I made the old high the new low my revenue skyrocketed and then I've
00:05:08.160 just learn to reprogram that every level so now it's not about the level i'm at it's about the
00:05:12.780 potential of the for me the universe like when you want to talk about mindset like i look i'm here in
00:05:16.860 dubai i look at like potential not my past potential of all of it that's number one number
00:05:25.260 two this is going to be a challenge for you to hear but awareness breaks automation
00:05:31.380 see most people they call them npcs okay non-player characters most people go through
00:05:40.060 the world and don't even see the pattern that they're running they're acting like ants they
00:05:46.280 just do and do and they think they have autonomy they think that they're being creative they think
00:05:51.380 but the truth is is 98 of their thoughts and actions are the same day over day see the moment
00:05:56.160 you can see your pattern you stop being the pattern write that down the moment you can see
00:06:04.400 the pattern you stop being the pattern and if you're not aware of where you're just settled
00:06:11.500 into this automation of not asking for more expecting more desiring more you're just like
00:06:18.180 kind of settled in that's that's the challenge right so one of my core rules i'm going to invite
00:06:24.880 you to consider is always ask for feedback. Feedback, feedback, feedback. Feedback is your
00:06:29.580 fuel. Write that down. Feedback is your fuel. The way we reprogram our mind is through getting
00:06:34.080 feedback from other people. That's a feedback loop. That's like analytics in software. The
00:06:38.980 analytics tells us where the software isn't performing as good or where users aren't using
00:06:42.340 it right. That feedback is how we make the product better. You rewrite the code. I do this in every
00:06:49.320 aspect of my life, at my family life, every week with my wife Renee. How have I been showing up
00:06:54.140 for you as a husband. Every week with my kids. I've never been a dad of boys your age. I don't
00:07:00.060 know what I'm doing. I could really use some feedback on how I can be better. With my team.
00:07:04.740 Hey, we just shot that YouTube video. What do you got from me for feedback? What do you think
00:07:08.820 worked? What do you think are opportunities to improve? I need that. It's my oxygen. That's how
00:07:14.160 I rewrite the code. See, if I don't have that, then I can't get better. Even yesterday, I was
00:07:19.400 on this couch shooting a pod with Renee, her pod. He said, she said on into the wild. After we were
00:07:26.100 done right over there, I said, Hey babes, awesome podcast. Really appreciate it. I'm just curious.
00:07:31.880 Do you have any feedback for me? She gave me the feedback. Now here's the cool part. Just as like
00:07:36.760 an aside, when you ask somebody for feedback, you know, it's a natural tendency for them to do after
00:07:42.120 is for them to ask you for feedback. So if you ever feel inclined to want to tell somebody
00:07:48.120 something where they can get better. Start by asking them what you can do to get better. And
00:07:53.120 if they're socially aware, they'll probably ask like my wife did yesterday. And then that's just
00:07:58.060 an easier way to add that conversation. But for me, the feedback is how I create the awareness
00:08:04.000 of removing the automation so that I can improve the activity, the actions. Okay. See how that
00:08:11.740 works. Another thing I do, if you read my book, the last chapter is a bonus chapter, seven pillars.
00:08:17.520 I have these seven pillars every Friday.
00:08:19.120 I rate myself, okay, out of 10,
00:08:21.040 and I take two of the lowest scores of those seven pillars
00:08:24.340 and I make a commitment to action,
00:08:27.440 to reprogram my mind, my behavior, my calendar
00:08:30.280 on the two lowest scores so that the following week,
00:08:33.880 they'll at least not be the lowest score.
00:08:36.660 See how that creates a rhythm of rewriting the code?
00:08:41.780 You guys can go read that chapter.
00:08:43.360 It's in my book.
00:08:44.060 It's a bonus chapter.
00:08:45.700 Final thing I wanna share with you.
00:08:47.520 really important, because I need you to learn how to do this, is rewrite or repeat, rewrite or
00:08:53.380 repeat, rewrite or repeat. It's your choice. If you execute the same loop, even over different
00:09:00.760 decades, it'll be the same unless you change the code. If who you were today was who you needed to
00:09:08.220 become, then you'd already have what you want. The whole idea of asking yourself, what is that
00:09:14.680 future desired reality I want to live in and how would that person at that stage act today
00:09:21.820 and then try to emulate the kind of person that would live in that world today that is the go-to
00:09:29.900 move you know a long time ago one of my mentors taught me that everybody you me everybody you see
00:09:37.860 even the NPCs the non-player characters they're all running a primary question they're answering
00:09:44.120 a question always that kind of guides their day, right? And that question is what drives the
00:09:51.440 values, the beliefs, the actions. And if you can rewrite that question for you, that primary
00:09:57.780 question, you can shift the code that is executing on the operating system, which is your mind,
00:10:06.460 to get what you want to achieve. My question that I rewrote, that I've shared dozens of times,
00:10:13.520 is how can I appreciate even more
00:10:16.180 God's grace and guidance in this moment?
00:10:20.220 Here in Dubai with you.
00:10:23.060 Just you and I.
00:10:25.180 Me, writing down things that were on my heart,
00:10:28.080 sharing from a place of contribution and service
00:10:30.720 and being of help.
00:10:32.760 No distractions, no nothing else.
00:10:36.440 Just knowing that you're listening and you're watching
00:10:39.000 and you're leaning in
00:10:41.180 and you're trusting me to serve you
00:10:44.920 in a way that'll inspire and push
00:10:47.960 and be an example for you to do things
00:10:50.320 that are way outside your comfort zone.
00:10:53.000 When I ask myself that question,
00:10:54.940 no matter what's going on in my life,
00:10:56.560 how can I appreciate even more God's grace and guidance
00:10:58.420 in this moment?
00:10:59.380 For me, that always aligns me to my highest self,
00:11:02.580 to my best self, to my best code,
00:11:05.380 to the best operating system.
00:11:08.160 It is the most powerful thing.
00:11:10.360 So every person is walking around like an optimization routine.
00:11:14.920 They're like optimizing for certain things.
00:11:16.960 That thing is their question.
00:11:18.660 If you don't know what your question is, if you don't write it down, if you don't ask yourself, then you're just always getting derailed.
00:11:25.240 It's a massive idea.
00:11:27.240 We have to rewrite our underperforming code.
00:11:30.540 We have to be aware of where we're just in an automated loop so we can break out of it.
00:11:35.720 And we have to rewrite it or we'll just repeat it.
00:11:40.180 That life, you know, a lot of people live 25 years experience,
00:11:43.820 but they're just reliving that same year 25 times.
00:11:47.120 They don't have 25 years of experience.
00:11:50.520 This is what I want you to know.
00:11:52.820 You can, can, all caps, bolded, highlighted,
00:11:56.780 you can rewrite, reprogram your mind.
00:12:02.340 I don't know who convinced you that your IQ is fixed,
00:12:06.440 your character is fixed.
00:12:07.920 I'm an introvert.
00:12:08.860 No, you're not. I have ADHD. Maybe you don't. Maybe you can reprogram it. Maybe you can get
00:12:14.420 free of it. Maybe you can break the cycle. Maybe you are the person in your family lineage,
00:12:20.300 even though you have proof that everybody before you was a certain way. So you must be that way. 0.53
00:12:26.920 I'm telling you, you can reprogram your mind. You can decide to become and act and do whatever way
00:12:35.940 you want if you understand what I just shared with you. Here's the big idea. Every mind can
00:12:42.180 be reprogrammed. The programming language of the mind are questions. And when we ask ourselves
00:12:47.580 powerful questions, it redirects our focus and we get what we focus on. Your existence, the reality,
00:12:55.640 what you feel is the byproduct of your most dominant thoughts, actions, and feelings.
00:13:01.360 and if we learn how to reprogram our mind through questions to give us the focus to take the actions
00:13:07.240 to rebuild the beliefs so we can take that with us in that new version of us to the next challenge
00:13:12.880 or interaction or opportunity that person will get that desired reality that's what i want for
00:13:20.140 you more than anything so leave a comment below and let me know what did you need to hear most
00:13:25.360 today what did you resonate with what did you believe that you thought was fixed that now is
00:13:31.340 different i want to hear what was the most important part for you today below in the
00:13:36.540 comments and with that i appreciate the opportunity to support you your dreams the trust you have in
00:13:42.000 me to guide you through my experiences through my stories it means the world to me peace
