Dan Martell - Reprogram Your Mind to Be Rich in 47 Mins

00:00:00.000 How can you manifest success into your life?

00:00:03.580 You could be one decision away from achieving the dream of your life.

00:00:07.920 I believe that your mind is already expansive,

00:00:10.240 but you've been telling yourself stories that keeps it contracted.

00:00:13.640 Really, the question should be is,

00:00:15.240 how do I learn to let go and truly feel my potential?

00:00:19.860 Why can't I decide to be happy in this moment?

00:00:23.620 Why not me?

00:00:24.840 That question really helped me kind of get clean,

00:00:27.500 get on the right track, make new friends,

00:00:29.340 and really start putting the pieces in place

00:00:31.340 to be more successful.

00:00:32.440 You are literally more powerful

00:00:34.220 than you'll ever understand it.

00:00:35.460 For a lot of people,

00:00:36.540 that power scares them more than anything.

00:00:39.200 There's no future where you have a better life

00:00:42.400 than the one you're living at,

00:00:43.440 where you're acting the exact same way you are today.

00:00:45.820 You have two years to live.

00:00:46.800 What do you do with your life?

00:00:50.280 You talk a lot about being a belief collector.

00:00:52.960 What do you mean by that?

00:00:55.520 Belief collecting for me is the awareness

00:00:58.760 is, that my mind isn't programmed the way I need it to be for me to achieve my goals. It's that

00:01:04.500 simple. If it was, I'd already be achieving the things I want because if I was a person

00:01:08.820 who could create those dreams, I would have them. So what I do is I go through the world

00:01:14.520 and I interact. I read, I talk, I consume videos, content. And as I find sound bites,

00:01:23.640 quotes, beliefs that I'm like, ooh, like this morning, I heard a great one. It said miracles.

00:01:28.760 are a shift in perception and i wrote that down i'm like oh that's a belief i want to believe that

00:01:33.560 miracles are a shift in perception we got to change our perception of what is and we will find

00:01:39.320 miracles that's a that's just a simple example but everything in my life all the the language

00:01:46.360 or the questions that i use those are part of collecting beliefs and the more i reprogram my

00:01:52.760 mind the more i have really great achievements happen in my life like the more i reprogram my

00:01:59.000 mind the more happiness the more fulfillment i feel the more joy the more capacity i have for

00:02:05.000 other people so i just consider it like a first principle like a first place to look to be happier

00:02:12.280 be more successful collect beliefs because the beliefs drive my view on the world and my view

00:02:18.280 drives my actions and my actions drive my results that's why i do it how did you reprogram your mind

00:02:24.520 as a teenager the way i reprogram my mind as a teenager was first creating the space for me to

00:02:31.560 have the time to reprogram it for a long time my teenage years i was so busy staying busy getting

00:02:39.080 in trouble got in trouble with the law had issues with drugs you know crime and all that stuff

00:02:45.080 obviously eventually rehabbed that it was in that place where i then had time to even think

00:02:51.160 you know meditate reflect like what do i believe about life and what stories have i been telling

00:02:56.840 myself about where i was at and what this all means for the the greater aspect of the the years

00:03:03.400 ahead of me so that's the first step is just create some space sometimes it's no to people

00:03:09.320 know to opportunities know to things you make commitments to and then with that time i then just

00:03:15.880 started writing things down you know journaling talking about my emotions which sounds crazy

00:03:22.120 today i mean there was a time where i didn't want to tell anybody how i felt because honestly i

00:03:25.320 didn't feel like anybody cared then i realized the more i talked about my feelings the more i was

00:03:30.840 becoming aware of what drove those feelings and just even saying them out loud sometimes i would

00:03:37.080 see how ridiculous i was for feeling a certain way because many times i was upset for something

00:03:44.360 the other person didn't even know they did or i was worrying about something that never happened

00:03:49.720 and when i started talking about it and being able to hear myself say these words to then reflect on

00:03:55.320 it i was like oh i've been making up a whole lot of this pain these challenges this the the anger

00:04:01.800 of my life was all self-inflicted so that was the beginning and then the key thing was

00:04:07.800 finding great questions to ask myself like really great questions like what what would need to be

00:04:15.000 true for me to be happy you know why can't i decide to be happy in this moment where's the beauty in

00:04:25.400 this challenge what's my opportunity in this setback why did that person say that is there

00:04:35.000 a different version of what they said or a different reason for why they said what they

00:04:40.280 said that would actually make me feel good about what happened and it sounds crazy but

00:04:45.160 i just believe that questions really become the foundation of the programming language

00:04:49.320 to change your view on the world what was the most powerful question that you asked yourself

00:04:56.360 at that age at that age the most powerful question i would ask myself why not me why not me

00:05:09.080 i would see all these people and back then it was simple it's like the person that's you know

00:05:14.200 valedictorian or the captain of the football team or you know this high achieving person in my class

00:05:22.360 and i would just like start to go like why not me like i'm here so we're being exposed to the

00:05:28.440 same information i'm not lazy like i'm willing to do the work why not me why can't i be top in

00:05:37.880 my class why can't i graduate with honors why can't i overcome my addiction why can't i have

00:05:44.680 a great relationship with my parents why can't my brother be my best friend i don't know it was just

00:05:50.520 like this question like why not even where i grew up i grew up in a small town in eastern canada and

00:05:58.600 i used to like think like why not why not me somebody else has done it you know for a long

00:06:05.400 time i thought i was the only crazy entrepreneur in the city and then i would slowly see or meet

00:06:10.920 or read about other people and i was like oh there's actually three billionaires that came

00:06:15.560 from you know the province that i grew up in so like they did it they probably grew up in a time

00:06:21.560 where there was way less resources than i have why not me that question really helped me kind of

00:06:28.360 get clean get on the right track make new friends and really start putting the pieces in place

00:06:34.200 to be more successful what's the biggest mistake you see people make when trying to reprogram their

00:06:39.800 mind to reprogram your mind you have to disconnect from what you think people are going to think

00:06:47.160 about the new beliefs so it's kind of counterintuitive because you want to change

00:06:52.520 and you could probably ask yourself the questions to change the beliefs to reprogram your mind

00:06:58.280 but then while you're doing that it's really easy to go okay well if i believe this i'd act this way

00:07:03.240 in that scenario but then what are people are going to think about that what if all of a sudden

00:07:07.080 i become assertive are they going to call me a or too direct what if all of a sudden i

00:07:12.520 ask for what i want in life are they going to feel like i'm being selfish so it's interesting

00:07:17.320 when we're reprogramming our mind and our beliefs inherently we're going to change our actions and

00:07:23.720 your friends the co-workers or whatever other people have a perception of who you are right

00:07:30.040 they're like oh this is alice and alice is quiet or this is mark and mark is funny and if all of a

00:07:37.720 sudden you show up because you've worked on yourself and you're different they're gonna

00:07:41.720 say that like hey man you're different what they're not able to say which you should be proud of

00:07:46.760 yourself for is you've changed that's actually impressive or even better is you've grown you

00:07:53.880 you've grown like that's what they should say but they don't know this and you need to understand

00:07:57.560 if somebody says you're different or you've changed what they're really saying is you've grown

00:08:02.200 so when you're reprogramming your mind you got to be careful to not inadvertently use that filter

00:08:07.240 how are they going to perceive you because the whole point of you changing your life is you're

00:08:11.400 gonna have to change who you are there's no future where you have a better life than the one you're

00:08:17.240 living at where you're acting the exact same way you are today because if you did you'd have the

00:08:21.720 thing you want so it means that you've got some bad habits you've got some emotional situations

00:08:26.600 that you over respond to or whatever you've got some things about your character that have to

00:08:30.920 change for you to get the things you don't have and that will 100 require other people to think

00:08:35.880 you've changed you're different but again what they're really saying is congrats you've grown

00:08:41.880 what's the biggest difference between a high performing mindset and a low performing mindset

00:08:48.520 there's so many differences low performance mindset uh blame everybody else low performing

00:08:55.880 mindset gets easily frustrated angered slighted blames other people ruminate literally they worry

00:09:05.320 or ruminate and they and they keep talking about a negative situation to anybody that'll listen

00:09:11.160 that's why they say misery loves company it's because misery wants to get validation that where

00:09:16.720 they're upset is okay so they keep telling other people and if they find another person that's like

00:09:21.900 yeah you're right i can't believe that happened here's what happened to me then you just see

00:09:25.640 these groups of people forming that are just being super negative and pessimistic and frustrated

00:09:30.300 with their situation that's all low low energy low performing people they're not driven they

00:09:37.100 don't have goals they don't have a desire to improve things they feel like their situation

00:09:42.320 is fixed and everybody's out to get them and you know they feel prisoners to their situation

00:09:48.800 that they can't change.

00:09:52.740 That's low performing.

00:09:54.040 High performing is the complete opposite.

00:09:56.480 First off, they have a belief

00:09:57.860 that their future is brighter than their past.

00:10:00.200 Right off the bat, if you don't have a belief

00:10:01.840 that your future possibly could be way brighter

00:10:04.460 than your past, then it's hard for you

00:10:06.680 to make forward movement

00:10:07.380 because where are you making forward movement towards?

00:10:09.780 What is that goal, that vision that you're after?

00:10:13.680 Then it's just the understanding

00:10:15.840 that you have to have patience.

00:10:17.320 right because again being impatient is a low performing mindset high performers say hey i'm

00:10:23.460 willing to do the work and not see immediate responses for a while long periods of time you

00:10:29.040 might go to the gym for three four months until you finally see you got a little bit of a muscle

00:10:33.460 or you got a little bit of a you know a bicep vein or something's going on in your body where

00:10:37.580 you're like oh i'm seeing some results it's delayed gratification high performers are willing

00:10:41.900 to do things for long periods of time being misunderstood and also not see results they're

00:10:47.720 able to go to a rejection to another rejection without losing momentum with a smile on their

00:10:53.700 face they they look at it as opportunities to actually learn to improve their lives they go

00:10:59.320 look that's not a reason i'm going to fail that's another reason i can avoid to win right if somebody

00:11:04.440 shuts the door on me i'm not like oh the opportunity is gone i go cool now i know that path doesn't

00:11:09.880 work and i'm going to go find an open window i'm going to find a different route to be successful

00:11:14.280 they're able to high performers can literally communicate emotion and positivity in a way

00:11:21.680 that collects other people to support them right the top people in the world have the ability to

00:11:27.620 share about their future and their dreams and goals where other people want to support them

00:11:33.040 in achieving it it's kind of awesome to watch you see it all the time where you know and it doesn't

00:11:38.680 matter if they have like strong speaking skills or they're more quiet they just have an essence

00:11:44.040 about what they're saying their sentences their words the way they describe what they believe

00:11:50.480 that people just get behind they feel what they're saying less than they hear what they're saying

00:11:57.940 and that is a high performance trait that the best of the best do they're willing to to be

00:12:05.860 misunderstood. They're willing to grind, right? They look at the work as a reflection of their

00:12:11.500 gratitude. They're not scared to show up and put it all on the line. They're risk takers.

00:12:18.440 They'd rather risk it all betting on themselves than to play safe and follow somebody else's

00:12:24.940 path. And that to me is what makes the game changers, the world changers, the innovators,

00:12:30.860 the people that create opportunities for others, some of the most important people around because

00:12:35.480 make the world a better place how important is routine when it comes to being a high performer

00:12:41.560 here's why routine has to be present because without routine you don't have a process that

00:12:49.080 you can tweak if every day you wake up and you decide based on how i feel i'm going to do this

00:12:54.200 or if in the afternoon i feel different so i'm going to do this and you just decide how you feel

00:12:59.000 what you're going to do then if somebody gives you a new strategy or new idea or new habit for

00:13:04.200 you to play with because there's no foundation there's no baseline it's hard for you to install

00:13:09.400 that into your life to see if it worked so a routine is required so that you have a foundation

00:13:17.160 to add and develop and try on new strategies to make your life better because if not it kind of

00:13:24.920 doesn't have any it's got no gripping it's got no no no hook it's just it's in your life but it's

00:13:30.440 kind of like well i don't know if that really worked well it's because you didn't have a baseline

00:13:34.120 for what was working right so it's kind of like whatever you're doing now that's working lock

00:13:39.320 those in write them down build those habits build that routine cool do that for ideally three months

00:13:47.400 now you know this is what i get doing this let me change one thing how did that impact my whoa

00:13:53.960 completely different better results cool let's add that one remove this other one cool let's do

00:13:58.360 do another one without that you don't have that process for growth and improvement what's the

00:14:04.000 best way to learn how to expand your mind the best way to learn how to expand your mind

00:14:11.860 it's interesting because i believe that your mind is already expansive but you've been telling

00:14:21.960 yourself stories that keeps it contracted. So really the question should be is how do I learn

00:14:28.500 to let go and truly feel my potential? Because every person comes into this world with their

00:14:35.680 greatness. I think that most babies have it figured out. When they come in, they just see

00:14:40.600 everything as beautiful and wonder and opportunity. And then they go through life and they get

00:14:47.300 exposed to negative situations and the world kind of creates friction and kind of develops

00:14:53.320 their character if they're lucky later in their adult life they go on a journey of personal

00:14:59.420 discovery and expansion and they come back to what they believed when they came in this world

00:15:04.720 as a baby so in many ways it's already there the expansive belief is there if we remove the cloud

00:15:12.920 the judgment, the concern. See, we all know in our heart what we want to achieve. It wouldn't

00:15:20.440 even be placed there. The desire for you to want more, the belief in those moments where you feel

00:15:27.700 certain to do more, but then quickly kind of fades, or you kind of sleep on it, you wake up,

00:15:34.380 and you kind of lose that initial spark. That's the cloud. That's the mist. That's the fog.

00:15:40.740 that's the glue that's the stickiness and what we want to do is we want to figure out how do we

00:15:46.100 remove that the best way for me is to continue to feed your mind continue to expose yourself

00:15:53.060 to world-class information content words conversations people energy and the more you

00:16:00.400 do that it's kind of like the sun coming up in the morning even though there's been like fog all

00:16:05.420 through the night because of the the mist of the the moisture in the air the sun slowly burns off

00:16:12.960 all the fog and everything just feels rejuvenated and that's what happens when you get around people

00:16:18.720 you read incredible books or literature or works of art or you know you you listen to some really

00:16:24.520 powerful messages it kind of removes all of that noise it removes the cloud it removes the

00:16:31.380 uncertainty and it allows you to just tap into who you really are and that is pure potentiality

00:16:36.840 you are literally more powerful than you'll ever understand it for a lot of people that power

00:16:42.400 scares them more than anything it's not that you're not capable it's that you're way more

00:16:47.580 capable you give yourself credit to and if you actually knew how capable you were you'd probably

00:16:51.140 freak yourself out and you're also a lot closer than what you think you think it's 15 years out

00:16:57.840 it is three years out you think it's a lifetime it's a decade it's right there it could be you

00:17:03.840 could be one decision away from achieving the dream of your life and you just have to believe

00:17:09.920 it you just have to be around people that also believe that people that want to see you win and

00:17:13.520 support you that's that's what's required it's not how do i discover it it's how do i remember it

00:17:20.480 because you already had it when you were a baby you just forgot so it's really about remembering

00:17:27.200 who you truly are why do most people never level up their lives i think most people don't level up

00:17:36.000 their lives because they're worried that they're gonna have to hold a new standard

00:17:42.160 see if i'm not rich but i know how to deal with what i've got it feels safe feels easy there's

00:17:49.120 nothing on the line if i go out there and i level up be more successful get that promotion make more

00:17:55.840 money become a millionaire now i have something to lose and it's a lot safer to tell ourselves

00:18:03.040 a story of i keep trying and showing up and i do the work and i'm a hard worker and all these things

00:18:07.600 and not have those come then to actually do the strategy a lot of people i always ask this

00:18:12.640 question what are you pretending not to know see i think most people actually know what they got

00:18:16.720 to go do but they don't actually want to do it because if they do it and they win now they got

00:18:21.040 got something to lose now they've got this this new high water mark that everybody will know if

00:18:26.940 you fall from that point you fall from grace your words literally this is what i hear and that's why

00:18:33.360 a lot of people when they have nothing backs against the wall and they got to fight their

00:18:38.000 way out of it they will do anything it takes to be successful and they oftentimes find that path

00:18:45.960 and they start climbing that mountain of success yet half a million dollars a million dollars five

00:18:53.500 it doesn't matter what number at some point their brain goes hey if we keep going there's a chance

00:19:00.260 we could lose it all how about we just chill out and set up shop and then they stop figuring out

00:19:07.360 who they could become their next level and it's fascinating to watch and i see all the time i

00:19:13.860 ask people are you the most successful person in your peer group the answer is yes you stopped

00:19:19.700 climbing you got scared you stopped leveling up and what's funny is that you know how to do this

00:19:25.700 you've done it before and the thing that actually protects what you've got is not stopping the

00:19:31.940 journey upwards it's the desire to become more the person who keeps growing every day is reducing the

00:19:39.940 risk they'll lose it all because they'll be prepared the person that sets up shop that now

00:19:45.280 becomes the big dog amongst their peer group their friends you know they got all the nice stuff i got

00:19:49.960 all the stuff people want no your the stuff you your friends want you know there's more out there

00:19:56.040 but it's going to require you to keep developing to keep growing to keep expanding and that's why

00:20:02.760 people are more scared of that than doing the work or anything they're just like

00:20:10.540 i remember one time my ex-girlfriend's parents they lived in this cool little house and i was

00:20:18.160 in my early 20s when i dated her and i used to go to their house and have dinner and they would

00:20:24.000 ask me about what i do and i would tell them about my businesses and stuff and they were always in

00:20:27.300 awe like wow that's so crazy yeah we've always thought i think one was a teacher when the other

00:20:32.280 worked for the government and and i could tell there was like a light inside of them that

00:20:37.720 if somebody in their family could really convince them to go for it they would probably do it

00:20:44.040 but they didn't years later 25 years later i'm on my road bike and i'm biking by their

00:20:49.640 house and i see them in the same house 25 years older doing yard work and i just think to myself

00:20:55.800 hmm here's an interesting thought they didn't go for it because i bet they were worried if they

00:21:02.940 went for it and they lost it all that people would think that they were failures but they

00:21:07.260 were living the same life that they were living today that they would go back to if they actually

00:21:11.300 tried and failed so technically because they didn't try they didn't even find out what they

00:21:17.120 potentially could become and they ended up living the life that they would end it up back to anyway

00:21:22.420 it's kind of interesting idea to think about it's like would you rather just never be rich

00:21:29.640 or be rich and lose it all and be the same of where you're at today because that's the truth

00:21:34.180 like that wherever you're at today is what you know how to do is probably what you could do

00:21:38.440 even if you went forward and lost it all you'd be back to where you're at

00:21:43.240 why not swing why not try why not stretch why not why not grow why not find out

00:21:52.040 well i wouldn't want to do this to my family i wouldn't want to do this to

00:21:55.840 you know whatever what about you here's an this is one of my favorite questions you have two years

00:22:04.080 to live what do you do with your life what do you do who do you spend time with what do you try

00:22:10.080 what do you want to leave the world most people when asked that question what they're doing today

00:22:14.900 is not what they would do tomorrow if you literally knew you had two years to the day

00:22:18.660 you can tell another soul what would you want to do your time what would you want to share with

00:22:24.820 people what would you want to create what would you want to leave the world that is what you

00:22:31.660 should be doing that is actually what's on your soul and you've never been given something on your

00:22:37.060 heart that wasn't meant for you trust me the things that i get on my heart other people go

00:22:42.900 that's silly i would never want to do that and then some of the stuff they tell me they want to

00:22:45.760 i'm like wow i have no desire to do that you know somebody tells me like oh i would go on a fishing

00:22:51.040 trip to alaska i'm like cool i would go backcountry snowboarding in alaska i wouldn't go on a fishing

00:22:56.720 trip and they're like cool that's your thing that's my thing so think about that what is on

00:23:00.640 your heart is actually uniquely gifted to you for you to go do or you wouldn't have been gifted it

00:23:07.520 you would have never been brought that idea because here's a crazy idea the thoughts you have the

00:23:14.400 The first thought, you didn't ask for.

00:23:17.860 That first thought you just had while you're driving, in the shower, at the gym, you didn't ask for.

00:23:25.840 It came to you.

00:23:27.420 Your response to that thought is yours.

00:23:29.820 But the initial thought is not.

00:23:32.160 I think you're being guided.

00:23:34.800 So I think most people don't want to try because they're worried that maybe it's not going to work out.

00:23:41.560 And I say, cool.

00:23:43.520 That's okay.

00:23:44.400 At least you try, at least you know, at least you're not going to, if today was your last

00:23:49.000 breath, you're not going to have regrets.

00:23:51.900 How important is belief in becoming rich?

00:23:56.640 You will not achieve anything that you don't believe you can do, period, full stop.

00:24:03.180 The cool part about that is belief comes from seeing what's possible and most possibility

00:24:09.520 comes from other people.

00:24:10.800 So in many ways, our role to other people that are not where we're at or to find in other people is the possibility of achievement.

00:24:21.360 And that creates the belief.

00:24:24.620 And the belief also gives us clarity, right?

00:24:27.820 We need to understand what we want to go do and have the belief that we can do it or we won't take the action.

00:24:32.880 I mean, if I don't believe I have a chance of winning a race, I'm not even going to train for the race.

00:24:37.660 Or maybe my goal is like I just want to finish the race.

00:24:40.200 But if I don't believe that I can even finish the race, again, I won't even sign up for the race.

00:24:45.380 Belief is required.

00:24:46.340 And look, I understand most people are like, I have these moments of belief.

00:24:53.020 I have these moments where I'm like, I could do this.

00:24:55.540 I could become this person.

00:24:58.020 And then I share them with other people and they all, they kind of shoot it down or they say, you're not that kind of person.

00:25:07.000 or that's not for you

00:25:09.120 or you don't have what those other people have.

00:25:11.620 And then it kind of takes away

00:25:13.300 from the belief you had in yourself.

00:25:15.860 And this is where I go back to faith.

00:25:18.840 I would never be given the idea

00:25:21.840 to achieve a certain thing that I desire

00:25:24.040 if my creator didn't believe that I could do it.

00:25:27.620 So the belief that I have,

00:25:29.560 not necessarily Dan's belief,

00:25:31.360 it's the belief in where I came from

00:25:33.700 and who created me.

00:25:35.060 And having that faith is more powerful by a factor of a bazillion than the need for me to believe in myself.

00:25:43.400 Because oftentimes I have no proof that I know how, and most of the time I don't know how, I'm going to achieve the thing I want to do.

00:25:51.300 I just have the belief that if I show up every day and I have clarity, and I have a belief that I can do it, that somebody's going to do it, why not me?

00:26:00.180 And I do the work that over time, it may happen.

00:26:04.760 And even if it doesn't, this is a cool part, two things.

00:26:08.680 One, I get to become better.

00:26:11.440 That's awesome.

00:26:12.320 I would probably do it for that fact alone.

00:26:14.300 And two, there's probably really cool things that are going to happen along the way.

00:26:18.780 So maybe I don't achieve the goal, but along the way of trying to achieve it, I get to

00:26:25.140 experience some really cool moments or have really cool things or meet really cool people.

00:26:31.940 and that to me if if i'm okay with those two things even if i never get to the finish line

00:26:37.040 then i should move forward i should do the thing and i should have the belief that i can do it

00:26:41.800 because it's worth it what's the difference between a limiting belief and a negative belief

00:26:50.000 the difference between a limiting belief and a negative belief is both of those are subconscious

00:26:55.140 in our mind as it pertains to the achievement of a goal and if we don't address them what will

00:27:02.260 happen is we will self-sabotage ourselves not knowingly and cause us to overreact or not make

00:27:10.180 decisions or make decisions too quick because in those activities we will fail at the achievement

00:27:18.360 so it gives us a reason not to win for example a limiting belief is i don't i'm not rich so i can't

00:27:24.900 this or i'm not that smart so i can't do this or i'm not that skilled so i can't do this those are

00:27:28.740 limiting beliefs about our abilities limiting beliefs around abilities the other one is negative

00:27:34.340 beliefs negative beliefs are actually quite fascinating for example i like to ask people

00:27:38.900 the question what do you fear most about being rich see most people's goals is to have something

00:27:44.340 a bigger business uh you know be financially independent or whatever so call it rich or

00:27:49.380 whatever even being healthy what negative beliefs or what fears do you have around being healthy

00:27:56.020 well i worried my life wouldn't be much fun because i'm eating you know meal prep all the

00:27:59.540 time or it's like what about being rich well i'd be worried that people would try to fraud me or

00:28:04.180 i'd be worried that my cousins would ask me for money and i'd feel guilty and i'd say no and then

00:28:08.980 they'd be mad at me or i'd be worried that people think i'm selfish or greedy or whatever it is you

00:28:13.060 have fears around being rich those are negative beliefs and what's crazy is sometimes when i

00:28:18.740 coach people you know i'll ask them these questions to figure out what's the real underlying thing

00:28:23.540 that's stopping them from having breakthroughs from achieving the outcomes that's kind of like

00:28:29.220 acts like a an anchor right around their forward motion one time asked a guy because he was he was

00:28:36.900 really dead set on getting his health in check he was like 50 pounds overweight and he was really

00:28:41.780 successful and we kind of kept going at it and asking him different questions eventually

00:28:46.980 he admitted that one of his fears was getting in such shape that when he travels and he's speaking

00:28:54.100 at an event that women may make passes at him that he wouldn't be able to say no to and he wouldn't

00:28:59.740 want to do that to his wife. Interesting. See, he had a fear around being fit that unexpressed

00:29:09.840 would always be the reasons that he reached for the dessert when he hit a new goal or decided to

00:29:16.700 go binge eat at a buffet while he was traveling or skip the gym for a week in a row, right? Or go

00:29:23.640 on vacation and lose all his gains. Those all over the years, these were the patterns that kept

00:29:28.160 repeating themselves because he had a belief that he would inadvertently make a bad decision or get

00:29:34.660 a compromising situation that would potentially ruin his marriage so we just addressed that and

00:29:39.780 said is it true well no what would not what would need to be true for that to never happen well

00:29:45.380 i guess these scenarios would never have to okay perfect so if you never reply to a female on

00:29:50.260 social media and you never find yourself alone with another woman when you're traveling and and

00:29:54.980 and could those things happen that would probably never happen perfect can you agree never do that

00:29:59.380 yeah awesome so this belief is now shattered this belief is now dissolved this is no longer going

00:30:05.300 to be the reason you sell such there might be other stuff that comes up but that one's gone

00:30:09.620 and that's the whole idea between limiting and negative beliefs if we can address them

00:30:15.540 on the path to achievement then we have a chance of getting there faster with less pain because we

00:30:24.340 self-inflict a lot of the pain uh in our in our lives how do high performers look at time and

00:30:31.680 money high performers look at time and money through two different lens one they realize

00:30:36.600 that their hour creates value you know if they look at their their life on an annual basis

00:30:43.440 they're able to create value and so and so can you like every person listening this knows what

00:30:49.100 their year is worth just look at how much money you're making whatever you make that is your

00:30:54.300 belief okay not the market it's actually your belief on what you think you're worth

00:31:00.060 if you thought you were worth five times more you would probably change the conversation

00:31:05.980 around compensation or the type of worker you might say hey i gotta go get some new skills so

00:31:10.380 i can become more value so you decide what you think your time is worth and most people don't

00:31:15.020 think they're worth a lot and that's why they give it up so freely they respond got a second

00:31:18.780 yeah no problem hey could you help me out yeah no problem like they don't protect their time

00:31:23.900 high performers believe their time is worth a lot and then they adjust their calendar through that

00:31:29.420 lens the other part is they use money to buy back more time how did they do that well instead of

00:31:36.300 spending time to save money they spend money to save time so they understand where they could

00:31:42.540 spend the least amount of money to buy back the largest swath of time so that they can then

00:31:48.220 reinvest in themselves skills character traits beliefs that will make them more valuable increase

00:31:55.740 their value per hour per year so that they get paid more and that's what high performers do that

00:32:02.540 is the equation they're always saying like what projects can i say yes to that's going to expand

00:32:07.420 my capabilities right what goals can i set up for me that are going to grow me goals should be

00:32:14.060 designed to grow you you should decide what projects you take on next best on the opportunity

00:32:20.700 for you to expand for you to grow for you to learn new things if you just keep saying yes to stuff

00:32:25.900 that you know how to do then you're not going to become more valuable you're not going to solve

00:32:29.580 bigger problems and people will pay a lot of money to solve very big problems the size of the problem

00:32:35.420 that you can solve it's the size of your compensation if you can install a window that is

00:32:41.500 a problem but it's not worth a whole lot if you can build an apartment building that's a really

00:32:47.580 big problem that people pay a lot of money to go solve if you can develop a city and take raw land

00:32:55.020 and turn it into a neighborhood that's an even bigger problem that people pay a lot of money to

00:32:59.660 go solve and each one of those are in the same kind of area of expertise but solving different

00:33:04.860 size problems and that's why high performers look at their time through that lens and their money

00:33:11.260 through that lens so that they become more valuable what's your mindset around spending money

00:33:18.220 versus saving money the the mindset i have now is completely different than the mindset i had

00:33:25.580 growing up you know i grew up with a dad that was always very frugal he never wasted a penny

00:33:32.700 he'd always say you know it's not what you make it's what you save so i spent a good part of my

00:33:37.660 life trying to protect every dollar of profit because i was worried that if i wasted spent it

00:33:44.940 on things that were inappropriate that i was taking from me or my future then when i was

00:33:49.740 in my 30s after i sold my first company through just brute force like literally hard work and

00:33:55.820 effort and built this company and eventually exited and i became a millionaire multi-millionaire

00:34:01.340 i had to go and look at my my life and say okay well what did i learn from that what was easy what

00:34:06.540 was hard and what i discovered is that i needed to get better so that i could create the future

00:34:14.060 easier like at the end of the day there's people that are able to create more than me

00:34:19.420 and could do it with less you know friction with less effort i mean some people can literally

00:34:27.340 create companies from the speed of thought because they've built the relationships communication

00:34:31.980 skills knowledge etc they have the resources so that was like the second part of my life

00:34:36.300 where my relationship with money was less about saving and became more about investing not only

00:34:42.300 investing in my companies but investing in myself and that's where i i kind of brute force it the

00:34:47.980 first time by just reading books and eventually i hired a coach but then it was really about like

00:34:53.820 where do i invest in my soft skills my communication skills the people build the management bandwidth

00:35:00.060 to the degree that i have talent around me how quick can i identify and hire great people can i

00:35:06.940 put them into an organization to have a system that that really helps them develop and grow and

00:35:12.060 leverage their expertise and then can i design the system so that i can retain that talent

00:35:18.060 and create a scenario which is truly win-win that to me was what shifted my relationship with money

00:35:24.540 where i used to think save it and now i'm like invest it i don't want money saved on the sidelines

00:35:29.900 not working either it's in an active investment it's making me money or i'm investing myself

00:35:34.860 because i know what to do with that or i'm investing in my people so they become more so

00:35:39.100 they can do more involved in my companies and it's really that simple i think money should

00:35:44.540 be used to make investments to generate massive roi return on investment and that's what shifted

00:35:50.220 i used to be like so scared to spend money now it's like where can i spend the money to get a

00:35:58.620 a return let's have these conversations how important is gratitude in a high performer

00:36:05.960 gratitude for me is the idea that i'm thankful for what i have because if you can't be grateful

00:36:15.200 and thankful for what you have then you won't be given more i look at my resources my companies

00:36:20.640 my teams my environment my community my family like all these people are there and they're part

00:36:27.960 of my experience of life, to feel fulfilled, to feel happy. And if I can't be grateful for those

00:36:35.740 people, even when they do things I don't agree with, then I won't be given more people, more

00:36:42.400 resources, more opportunities, a richer life. It's really that simple. If all you do is complain

00:36:47.160 about what you got, then nobody's going to give you more because they don't think you can handle

00:36:49.960 what you got because all you do is complain about what you have. And nobody sees that.

00:36:54.960 they have a beautiful home and they complain it's small they have a beautiful car and it's not good

00:37:01.120 enough they have they have literally beautiful people in their lives and they complain about

00:37:05.040 those people well guess what you'll never be given more as a as a custodian as a steward of that

00:37:11.920 that thing because you're demonstrating to the world you can't handle it whereas to me gratitude

00:37:18.880 is the acknowledgement of the appreciation but also the desire for more so my whole thing is

00:37:27.760 that my work ethic is a reflection of my gratitude i wake up every day ridiculously grateful there's

00:37:35.600 moments where i'm driving by myself if a certain song comes on a certain scenario or the sun hits

00:37:39.760 the the windshield on the right moment and the right angle that it'll bring me to tears where

00:37:45.120 where I'm just like flooded with appreciation

00:37:47.860 for what I'm doing, the work I get to do,

00:37:50.700 the people I get to do it with.

00:37:52.860 And in that moment, I just feel like

00:37:55.680 I'm giving more new and bigger opportunities.

00:37:59.540 And the more grateful I am,

00:38:01.260 the bigger those opportunities seem to get

00:38:03.040 and the harder I decide to work

00:38:05.160 because I wanna reflect and honor

00:38:07.700 that I'm getting those opportunities.

00:38:10.700 So gratitude is part of the equation.

00:38:15.120 Where do you see the biggest opportunity for most people to do more with their lives?

00:38:20.900 Most people, the biggest opportunity for them sits on the other side of the thing that scares them the most.

00:38:29.680 It's really simple.

00:38:31.040 I look at life as like the yin and the yang, right?

00:38:34.060 The black and the white, the yes and the no, the breath in, the breath out.

00:38:38.080 It's kind of crazy, but that's just the way I think of it, right?

00:38:41.400 And who you are today, if it was who you needed to become to achieve your dreams and goals,

00:38:48.360 then you would have those things.

00:38:49.920 It's not time.

00:38:50.660 It's who you are.

00:38:51.560 You attract success.

00:38:52.820 You don't create success.

00:38:54.520 So the exercise, if you're willing to consider it, is to write down all the characteristics

00:39:00.000 of who you are.

00:39:01.240 You can ask your friends to give you that.

00:39:02.780 Here's who Dan is.

00:39:04.740 Dan is this.

00:39:05.480 Dan is this.

00:39:06.000 Dan is this.

00:39:06.500 Dan is this.

00:39:06.820 For example, Dan talks a lot.

00:39:08.560 I just love people.

00:39:09.500 I love asking questions.

00:39:10.240 I'm very curious.

00:39:11.520 And then you draw a line and you say on the other side of that, what is the opposite of

00:39:14.900 who you are, right?

00:39:16.480 This is why I say like the thing that will give you the biggest opportunity to move forward

00:39:20.100 is the thing you're scared the most of, what you don't want to do, the work you're avoiding.

00:39:24.840 That's where the results lie.

00:39:27.920 So whoever you are as your default, you have to go explore the opposite.

00:39:33.060 And it's going to be crazy.

00:39:33.940 So I talk a lot.

00:39:34.980 I would go on a silent retreat.

00:39:37.520 I don't exercise.

00:39:39.040 I would exercise.

00:39:39.760 I've never run a marathon.

00:39:40.820 I run a marathon I'm a vegan go eat a freaking burger I'm that's how serious I am what people

00:39:47.400 say absolutely not to I see it all day I'm talking to somebody this morning and they say I would

00:39:52.540 absolutely not oh the other day one of my co-workers I brought my dog in and I said hey

00:39:57.760 could you take care of my dog nope I don't do dogs that language I don't do x was fascinating to me

00:40:04.620 because all I hear is oh there's a part of my character that I'm not willing to budge on that

00:40:10.140 not going to move and oftentimes it's whatever piece of story you told yourself about that

00:40:16.380 i'm not saying it's that you become polar opposite i'm saying that you go explore the opportunity in

00:40:21.740 the opposite and figure out what lesson do you need to learn what is it about dogs i just don't

00:40:27.100 do dogs fascinating why what is it could you do it for an hour or is it like a hard no hard no

00:40:34.540 interesting i've learned that all my biggest opportunities were really reflecting or spending

00:40:41.100 time in the complete opposite of who i am today and then figuring out it's like oh i don't want

00:40:46.940 to be mr braggadocious what does that even mean like i don't want to do videos because i don't

00:40:53.500 want to come off as one of those guys what does one of those guys mean well i don't want to be

00:40:58.700 like that guy that says like here my garage you know on youtube it's like but what if i don't

00:41:05.820 what does shooting a video have anything to do with being that are there people that create

00:41:09.580 videos that also produce great content and teach awesome stuff and everybody really admires and

00:41:16.860 help a lot of people like then just go shoot video and figure out what part of it you like

00:41:22.060 and just you don't have to do the stuff you don't like it's just fascinating where people draw hard

00:41:26.300 lines in the sand so i think oftentimes the biggest opportunity for people to become high level

00:41:33.260 is really confronting the stuff they say that's not for me says who who who are you like the mind

00:41:40.540 can expand you can become more to say that's not for me who's me me is not this container

00:41:47.180 of constraints of like this is me and this is only ever going to be me no no no you can be

00:41:52.220 me and in 10 years you could be me so that's that that's where i think people should look

00:42:00.860 is the thing that scares them the most the the part that gets their their chest heavy

00:42:05.740 they're they're they get warm they're like oh they get nervous speaking video talking to a camera

00:42:13.500 fascinates me hey pull out your phone shoot a video oh what do i say i don't know you're talking

00:42:18.860 to me why don't you talk to the camera yeah but what do i say what are you saying to me right now

00:42:24.380 yeah but it's easy i'm just talking to you now talk to the camera just pretend it's i can't do

00:42:28.620 that cool can't do that won't do that let's go look at that area that's that's the easiest i

00:42:33.740 believe the world will show you where you're not free so anywhere is that i feel emotion around

00:42:37.980 something i'm like oh there's an opportunity for me oh there's another opportunity for me

00:42:41.820 this is good okay i can work with this write that down what is it about that scenario that

00:42:45.820 makes me feel that way and the more i expand the more i grow the more tools i have to be able to

00:42:51.100 create what role does the subconscious mind play in becoming successful cool thing about

00:42:59.660 the subconscious mind is we have the super conscious the conscious and the subconscious

00:43:05.500 the subconscious is literally designed to keep all systems go you didn't ask your heart to beat

00:43:12.460 you didn't ask your lungs to breathe you didn't ask your whole biology to regulate itself based

00:43:18.620 on the fact that you ate some food an hour ago to drink a glass of water is quite fascinating

00:43:23.580 and all part of that is part of this beautiful subconscious energetic exchange of of what

00:43:29.740 happens and it in many ways it's what creates our future the key is is we got to connect with

00:43:36.540 the super conscious or the universal consciousness or god whatever word you want to use to

00:43:42.460 bring in the downloads the opportunities the resources into your conscious awareness

00:43:48.060 to then program your subconscious to go to work to help you find and create the opportunities

00:43:53.260 all around you and it's very simple this is backed by science this isn't woo stuff although it is

00:43:58.380 spiritual and a lot of people call it woo when it's just pure spirit but science shows that if

00:44:04.620 you have a desire and you have a focus that you your brain will start to filter out all the

00:44:10.540 information around you to find opportunities to solve problems most people don't ask themselves

00:44:15.980 questions in a way that your brain can actually go to work to find the solution and and in a way

00:44:20.700 is with the constraints how do i create more success without working more it's either without

00:44:25.100 working more now i've created constraint then my mind can figure out and go to work while i'm

00:44:30.220 sleeping the subconscious can go and say hey i need to get more done i got to create more content i

00:44:35.260 I got to create more money.

00:44:36.260 I got to create more opportunities for my friends

00:44:39.060 without working more.

00:44:40.680 Okay.

00:44:42.100 What if I call that guy I talked to last week?

00:44:44.120 I totally forgot about that conversation.

00:44:45.840 Boom, subconscious mind.

00:44:47.340 Brought you opportunities.

00:44:48.560 Brought you opportunities.

00:44:49.560 And it's happening all the time.

00:44:51.440 You just got to give it instruction.

00:44:52.700 It's like a heat-seeking missile

00:44:54.100 without a guidance system

00:44:55.820 if you don't program the subconscious.

00:44:57.980 But it's not in the conscious mind.

00:44:59.300 The conscious mind is the person

00:45:00.360 that sits down to write a book

00:45:01.260 and they're writing with the words.

00:45:02.240 the subconscious is the the the the crazy cool ideas that come to you out of the blue that just

00:45:11.220 make the whole story make sense or the model that just brings the whole book together or the person

00:45:17.340 that you meet that you didn't expect to meet that could write a blurb that makes the book feel a lot

00:45:21.740 more legitimate it's just fascinating to watch how can you manifest success into your life

00:45:27.640 how do you manifest success into your life

00:45:33.880 manifestation requires you to have a vision for what you want to create so step one is have a

00:45:40.900 hundred percent clarity you need to have a clear target of what you want your life to look like

00:45:46.040 most people don't here's how you know if you have it can you describe me your future to the same

00:45:50.980 specificities you can explain me your current situation because if you do you have a clear

00:45:56.100 vision if you don't you just have ideas i like more money more wealth more success more relationships

00:46:02.500 that doesn't give a clear vision then you need to have the belief the belief that it's possible

00:46:09.780 and think about it out of a hundred a hundred percent clarity can you describe your future

00:46:13.700 the same level of specificity as your current situation can you believe it 100 of the time

00:46:18.660 or sorry 100 belief 100 belief is never doubting when you communicate you don't use words like

00:46:24.340 should, would be, could be, it would, you know what I mean? Like you literally can hear somebody's

00:46:29.020 language that defines if they have a hundred percent belief. And then the third part is

00:46:33.200 a hundred percent of the time. Can you believe and have clarity around the achievement you want

00:46:38.980 to get after a hundred percent of the time and to the degree that you can do all three of those

00:46:43.240 a hundred percent clarity, a hundred percent belief, a hundred percent of the time, all three

00:46:47.260 of those are required. If you can do that, that's how you pull the future into you. See, people

00:46:53.520 think manifesting is like creating objects out of the blue. It's not. It's about pulling the future

00:47:00.640 that's potentially there for you. All future potentials are there. Nothing's ever happened

00:47:05.960 without somebody believing first in the mind. Think about that. Everything around you, your

00:47:10.000 t-shirt, your clothes, your city, the building you're in, all of those things first existed in

00:47:14.760 the mind of people from the past. That's a crazy idea. So you can do that. And then what you do is

00:47:20.980 you pull those realities into your current life.

00:47:23.940 And that is manifestation.

00:47:25.260 That's how you do it.

00:47:26.380 A lot of people talk about vision boards, yes.

00:47:28.880 Mantras, yes.

00:47:30.440 You know, energy work, yes.

00:47:33.800 Working through your own personal stories, yes.

00:47:35.460 All that stuff's required,

00:47:36.720 but it's really as simple as,

00:47:38.120 can I have 100% clarity, 100% believe 100% of the time?

00:47:40.800 And that's how we pull and manifest into our lives.
