Transcripts

Speaker:

When you write something down that is truly authentic and truly congruent with

Speaker:

your highest values, it's not in the future, it's almost like you've done it.

Speaker:

It's already destined. It's impossible for you not to fulfill.

Speaker:

It's already done in your mind.

Speaker:

Think and Grow Rich. A great book that I read many, many,

Speaker:

many years ago that has impacted millions of people across the world,

Speaker:

I believe it's sold like 15 million copies or something,

Speaker:

written by Napoleon Hill.

Speaker:

I think it was 1937 or so when that was written.

Speaker:

And what he did is he went around and interviewed some of the

Speaker:

great business leaders of the times

Speaker:

and political leaders at the time and find out what was the key to their

Speaker:

achievements.

Speaker:

And Andrew Carnegie was the one that's according to the story anyway,

Speaker:

commissioned him to do this. Wanted to find out what was the secrets to success.

Speaker:

He had a book prior to that called the Laws of Success,

Speaker:

which I also enjoyed reading many years ago. And yeah,

Speaker:

it was a great larger book that got condensed down into Think and Grow Rich.

Speaker:

And Think and Grow Rich has been a milestone in many people's lives for

Speaker:

achievement. And I would say that that had a significant impact on me.

Speaker:

Although today I would probably refine a few of the comments and principles in

Speaker:

there from my learning. But overall, it's been a great contribution.

Speaker:

And if you haven't read the book, I would certainly encourage you to get one,

Speaker:

because I think you'll find that that's definitely an impact. The movie,

Speaker:

The Secret had a lot to do with a spinoff from that.

Speaker:

And many other great enterprises were born from that book.

Speaker:

A friend of mine built the largest furniture place in Texas,

Speaker:

and he read that book every single day and followed the principles of the book.

Speaker:

But I'd like to elaborate on that and talk about the law of attraction and

Speaker:

its impact as a result of that. And what I did is I went through the book,

Speaker:

scanned it last night just to refresh myself on the

Speaker:

actual wording that the book had.

Speaker:

And I'm going to go through and go through each of the principles and some of

Speaker:

the laws that were discussed there and tie it together with what I've been

Speaker:

teaching all these years, and so there's a correlation.

Speaker:

Because if you're used to me speaking in a certain language,

Speaker:

I'm going to cross stretch and dovetail them so you can appreciate the roles

Speaker:

that each of these play. Now, there are some people,

Speaker:

I'd like to read some of the names that were impacted by this, this work;

Speaker:

Henry Ford, who started the Ford motor company,

Speaker:

William Wrigley were involved in some of the,

Speaker:

I think the gum that's people that choose Wrigley's gum, John Wanamaker,

Speaker:

James Hill, George Eastman, Theodore Roosevelt, Wilbur Wright,

Speaker:

the person that flew the first plane, William James Bryan, King Gillette,

Speaker:

John D Rockefeller, Woolworth's, Thomas Edison,

Speaker:

Woodrow Wilson, William Howard Taft, Dr. Alexander Graham Bell,

Speaker:

Clarence Darrow, Schwab.

Speaker:

There's a lot of people that have all been correlated in this development of

Speaker:

this book. So just know you're in good hands.

Speaker:

So if you're able to really appreciate the principles and apply these principles

Speaker:

you're in those type of categories of people you're associating with. Now,

Speaker:

first, I want to go through the 14 principles that are mentioned in the book,

Speaker:

and then elaborate on those and correlate those with what I teach.

Speaker:

The first principle is thoughts are things.

Speaker:

And developing a controlled thought is a very powerful principle.

Speaker:

Everything that's ever been achieved,

Speaker:

everybody that's ever accomplished anything really started with an idea.

Speaker:

It started with a thought. Now, you know,

Speaker:

that I mentioned in almost every talk that I do,

Speaker:

that every human being has a set of priorities,

Speaker:

a set of values that they live their life by.

Speaker:

And whatever's highest on their value,

Speaker:

they are spontaneously inspired to act on it.

Speaker:

But what also is important is that your inner most dominant thought,

Speaker:

which becomes your outermost tangible reality is an expression of what you value

Speaker:

most.

Speaker:

So if you wonder why I tell people to go to my website and go to determine your

Speaker:

values, is because I know that if you will follow,

Speaker:

find out what it is that's really, really, really, really important to you,

Speaker:

what your life demonstrates, not what you think it should be,

Speaker:

not what you think it ought to be or wished it would be,

Speaker:

but actually find out what your life demonstrates is truly valuable to you.

Speaker:

You can't get it of your mind, it's your dominant thought.

Speaker:

My inner most dominant thought is definitely teaching around the world.

Speaker:

That's been my thoughts since I was 17 years old, it hasn't left my,

Speaker:

it doesn't go a day without, all day long

Speaker:

it's in my thoughts. So,

Speaker:

finding out what you value most is the key to the first step.

Speaker:

The first principle of Think and Grow Rich is having a clear,

Speaker:

defined thought and making sure that your inner most dominant thought is what

Speaker:

you want to do. Clarifying what you want to think about and bring about.

Speaker:

I was in a movie recently by Doug Vermeeren, called

Speaker:

which is an offshoot of this book actually.

Speaker:

And you can go out and get that movie too.

Speaker:

But it's basically the significance of how clarity of thought

Speaker:

makes reality.

Speaker:

And so I'm a firm believer if you prioritize your life

Speaker:

he highest priority action, that is the number one thing, the numero uno,

Speaker:

that's the most important thing in your life and do that every day,

Speaker:

you will automatically think about how you want your life.

Speaker:

And that's number one, principle number one. Principle number two was desire.

Speaker:

Now, you're spontaneously inspired to act,

Speaker:

just like the video games that a boy does when he's doing something that's

Speaker:

highest on his values, he doesn't have to be reminded to do his video games.

Speaker:

He loves doing it. It's his desire. It's what he loves doing,

Speaker:

it's what he's inspired to do. I prefer inspiration than the term desire,

Speaker:

cause I think desire is a little bit weak compared to inspiration.

Speaker:

But you're automatically absolutely inspired to get up and do it.

Speaker:

Your inner most dominant thought becomes your outermost tangible reality and you

Speaker:

automatically can't wait to get up and do it.

Speaker:

When you can't wait to go out and give service to people,

Speaker:

people can't wait to get that service. So the second one is desire,

Speaker:

but I call it being inspired and spontaneously inspired action,

Speaker:

revolving around what you're thinking about most. That's the way I describe it,

Speaker:

but it's the same principle. The next one is faith.

Speaker:

The next principle is faith that he mentions in the book.

Speaker:

And faith has two forms.

Speaker:

You can have faith in something that's a fantasy that will not show up.

Speaker:

Faith that when you, when you, that you go out to your mailbox,

Speaker:

a billion dollar check is going to show up there,

Speaker:

and that's a fantasy because if you're not doing some sort of service or you're

Speaker:

not inherited some sort of money or whatever,

Speaker:

the probability of that is extremely low.

Speaker:

That kind of faith is not really faith. It's actually delusion and fantasy.

Speaker:

But faith in the idea that,

Speaker:

I know that if I go out and I bring service to people

Speaker:

my energy into it and I focus on it and I get feedback and I refine my skill and

Speaker:

I become more efficient in service, I have faith that if I stay with it,

Speaker:

I will overcome the obstacles and eventually achieve something.

Speaker:

That type of faith, even though it's unseen, I'm all for,

Speaker:

I have no problem with that.

Speaker:

Because that's just means that even though you don't see the outcome yet,

Speaker:

you know that if you keep applying the principles and action steps that get you

Speaker:

there, you're going to get there. You know,

Speaker:

I wanted to be financially independent one time. I didn't start out that way.

Speaker:

I started out with saving a dollar an hour or $10 a day, $200 a month,

Speaker:

$50 a week. And then I just kept expanding it.

Speaker:

And I knew that if I kept doing that,

Speaker:

just the numbers and mathematics is going to lead me eventually to that outcome.

Speaker:

So I didn't have the outcome yet.

Speaker:

I had faith that if I stayed with this principle, I would do that,

Speaker:

that kind of faith based on reason,

Speaker:

based on true metrics and true milestones and true strategies,

Speaker:

is brilliant. And that's what's being described here in the book.

Speaker:

The next one is autosuggestion.

Speaker:

That's another way of saying internal dialogue or maybe affirmation,

Speaker:

which means making something firm in one's mind.

Speaker:

Now I've got probably the largest collections of those types of internal

Speaker:

dialogues of anybody I've ever met in my life. I have thousands and thousands,

Speaker:

literally of pages of internal dialogues. And I'm a firm believer.

Speaker:

I started out with a little statement that Paul Bragg gave me when I was 18;

Speaker:

I'm a genius and I apply my wisdom. Didn't seem like it at the time.

Speaker:

I couldn't even read.

Speaker:

But I said that to myself and I later learned that a genius is one who had an

Speaker:

inner vision that followed it and had an inner voice that followed it and they

Speaker:

achieved it.

Speaker:

And I'm a firm believer of what you say to yourself impacts your life.

Speaker:

Paul Bragg taught me that when I was very young and I'm a firm believer in that.

Speaker:

I was applying that since I met him before I even read the book.

Speaker:

But the thing is,

Speaker:

is if you're saying something you want to make sure that it's truly aligned and

Speaker:

congruent with what you value most.

Speaker:

Make sure it's truly something obtainable, not a fantasy,

Speaker:

not something that's just completely delusional,

Speaker:

but something that you're willing to work towards and achieve.

Speaker:

You have control over your perceptions, decisions and actions.

Speaker:

You want to make sure that what it is that you internally dialogue with yourself

Speaker:

is something that's real. I've said to myself that I'm a master of persistence.

Speaker:

I do whatever it takes. I'll do whatever it takes, travel whatever distance,

Speaker:

pay whatever price, to give my service of love. And I've got internal dialogues.

Speaker:

I do what I love, I love what I do. Right? I'm a multimillionaire money magnet.

Speaker:

Whatever I touch turns to gold. I've got statements that I've said to myself,

Speaker:

millions of times, probably millions,

Speaker:

that I've said to myself and they are become reality in my life.

Speaker:

So autosuggestion is a very powerful thing,

Speaker:

but it must be congruent with what you value most or it's just,

Speaker:

your brain is going to go, 'delete'. It must not be a fantasy of one sidedness.

Speaker:

If I say, 'I'm always happy, never sad', it's a fantasy. If you say that,

Speaker:

'whether I feel happy or sad, no matter what I feel,

Speaker:

I know that it's honing me in on my most authentic self,

Speaker:

and 'no matter what is happening in my life,

Speaker:

I know that I can discover by asking quality questions,

Speaker:

how it's serving my mission'.

Speaker:

So you want to make sure you articulate exactly how you want your life to be

Speaker:

in written format and remind yourself,

Speaker:

a checkup from the neck up on a daily basis. That's auto suggestion.

Speaker:

The next one is specialized knowledge. And I'm a firm believer in that.

Speaker:

But the thing is, is if you're living by your highest values, your glucose,

Speaker:

your blood, your oxygen, all goes in the forebrain. And when it does,

Speaker:

it opens up also the diencephalon, which is just underneath it.

Speaker:

And it wakes up the gating and filtering center of the pulvinar nuclei and

Speaker:

allows you to filter out anything that's in line with your highest value and

Speaker:

allows you to absorb that information and delete out anything that's not.

Speaker:

Anything low on your values goes into attention deficit.

Speaker:

Anything high on the values, go into attention surplus.

Speaker:

And so we automatically absorb it and we gain specialized knowledge in it.

Speaker:

So that's why I keep emphasizing in my Breakthrough Experience program,

Speaker:

everything that I do,

Speaker:

how important it is to find out what's really highest on your value and

Speaker:

concentrate on that. You will automatically think about it.

Speaker:

You will automatically internally dialogue with yourself about it.

Speaker:

You'll automatically see it in your mind's eye,

Speaker:

which is one of the next steps here.

Speaker:

But you automatically want to gain specialized knowledge because you love

Speaker:

learning what's really most important to you.

Speaker:

I love learning about human behavior. I can read about it all day long.

Speaker:

That's something I love doing. Any derivative that might assist on that,

Speaker:

I'll read it, I'll study it. I'll learn it.

Speaker:

And so I'm a firm believer that specialized knowledge,

Speaker:

it gives you a competitive advantage. So gaining specialized knowledge,

Speaker:

doesn't mean it has to be so narrow that it's in, you know,

Speaker:

it's kinase enzyme on particular thing and it's only one thing.

Speaker:

It can be a large body of knowledge, but you want to gain specialized knowledge.

Speaker:

But at the same time,

Speaker:

you want to branch it and link it and broaden it to every area that could apply

Speaker:

to that, so you have a depth of knowledge that nobody can question.

Speaker:

That's very powerful as far as achieving things. The next one is imagination,

Speaker:

but I don't prefer to use the word imagination, I know he does.

Speaker:

I prefer to use the word imaging. Now he describes in his book,

Speaker:

when you imagine something you don't want to imagine it in the future,

Speaker:

you want to imagine as if you're in it now.

Speaker:

Like Michael Phelps does when he's already winning the gold.

Speaker:

That's the difference between imaging something and imagining.

Speaker:

Imagination is the future, but imaging is actually being present in it.

Speaker:

And when you're living by your highest values, you actually see it.

Speaker:

When you activate the visual cortex from the medial prefrontal cortex,

Speaker:

that area automatically sees it in your mind's eye and clarifies it.

Speaker:

And even though he says imagination,

Speaker:

I prefer to call it being present in the image, as if it's already done.

Speaker:

I tell people in the Breakthrough Experience when

Speaker:

which is defining how they want their life to look like in all areas of their

Speaker:

life,

Speaker:

that when you write something down that is truly authentic and truly congruent

Speaker:

with your highest values, it's not in the future,

Speaker:

it's almost like you've done it. It's already destined.

Speaker:

It's impossible for you not to fulfill. It's already done in your mind.

Speaker:

That's the image that he's talking about. The next one is organized planning.

Speaker:

Whenever you're living by your highest values,

Speaker:

you automatically strategically plan.

Speaker:

It's a normal thing to strategically plan and to think out in advance and live

Speaker:

with foresight and anticipate what's happening in the

Speaker:

the risks. And once the risks are done, you become present.

Speaker:

And then you can see it in your mind's eye if it's now.

Speaker:

So the planning is basically planning ahead to mitigate the risk,

Speaker:

to take out the emotion, to get you objective. And then all of a sudden,

Speaker:

instead of it being in the future it now becomes present.

Speaker:

And there's a powerful thing.

Speaker:

And I've demonstrated that in the Breakthrough Experience,

Speaker:

teaching people how to do this. Cause once it's done,

Speaker:

it's almost like it's already in motion.

Speaker:

It's a magical thing that happens there. The next one is decision.

Speaker:

When you're living by your highest values, you gather the most data,

Speaker:

you spontaneously want to act,

Speaker:

and you have the most data to make a quick decision.

Speaker:

And people who make persistence on a decision they've made quickly,

Speaker:

those are the people that are achieving the most.

Speaker:

This is what's been proven in all those lists of people's names that I gave you.

Speaker:

So making decisions, you automatically make a decision.

Speaker:

And once the decisions there, it's not wishy-washy, it's not wavering.

Speaker:

There's a story in the book Think and Grow Rich where men were going,

Speaker:

I think it was one of the Kings or whatever coming

Speaker:

Spain to conquer the Maya culture in Mexico.

Speaker:

When they did they realized they were outnumbered when they got there,

Speaker:

the Spanish. And so the person who was the general or whatever,

Speaker:

burned the boats so they had no way of retreating, they had to go forward.

Speaker:

So when you have a no option to go back, there's no backup,

Speaker:

there's no wishy washiness, it's a clear decision and you're committed to it,

Speaker:

that's when you have divine providence and human sovereignty,

Speaker:

make to work together. The other one is perseverance.

Speaker:

The next principle is perseverance.

Speaker:

People who are doing what they love doing that's highest on their value.,

Speaker:

they automatically spontaneously act and they're perseverant on it,

Speaker:

they don't want to stop. I think I've got a good track record,

Speaker:

48 plus years of teaching and researching and speaking. And I love doing that.

Speaker:

And nobody has to remind me to do that.

Speaker:

And that's the perseverance that I'm talking about.

Speaker:

You automatically are perseverance in the area that's highest on your value.

Speaker:

You'll see the same pattern is showing up,

Speaker:

that's why I put so much emphasis on highest value

Speaker:

because that's where your identity is. The next one's the power of a mastermind.

Speaker:

Now I've been involved in many masterminds over the years, and without doubt,

Speaker:

each of them had contribution to my life.

Speaker:

But a mastermind is surrounding yourself with people that are expanded,

Speaker:

individuals that are clear about their mission,

Speaker:

that are inspired by what they're doing,

Speaker:

and they want to see you achieve because they want to achieve

Speaker:

and they know if they help other people achieve, they achieve.

Speaker:

And it's basically a practicing of putting great minds together,

Speaker:

concentrating on an objective and becoming a super single mind.

Speaker:

And that's something that happens.

Speaker:

You can either be following a culture or you can be leading a culture,

Speaker:

and people that are inspired by what they do,

Speaker:

build a culture of people around them that synchronize towards the objective and

Speaker:

a mastermind of other great minds with different specialties come in to catalyze

Speaker:

the outcome that your inner most dominant thought has to create.

Speaker:

The next one is the mystery of sex transmutation. Well what's interesting is,

Speaker:

the sexual responses have two forms. The sexual responses has an impulse form,

Speaker:

that's a procreative necessity for survival.

Speaker:

And there's another one for thrival because you love somebody.

Speaker:

When you're doing what you love and loving what you're doing,

Speaker:

you're generating a creative energy to solve problems,

Speaker:

and you're taking the normal impulse towards sexuality,

Speaker:

which is a survival mechanism and sticking again into a thrival mechanism.

Speaker:

You probably have had moments in your life where you're so engaged,

Speaker:

so inspired like it, your sexual creative energy,

Speaker:

instead of going into procreation, goes into creation.

Speaker:

And that's the energy that he's talking about.

Speaker:

When you're doing what you love and loving what you're doing,

Speaker:

you love solving problems that serves other people,

Speaker:

creating a business that serves people,

Speaker:

there's a creative energy there and you can put your focus on that,

Speaker:

when maybe at the end of the day you can stop and then all of a sudden

Speaker:

procreate, but at the same time, your creative energy,

Speaker:

sexual energy is going into something inspiring that's creative.

Speaker:

And it's another way of expressing your love for life.

Speaker:

The next one is what we call the subconscious mind.

Speaker:

I prefer to call it the superconscious mind. When you're inspired,

Speaker:

when you're grateful, when you're doing what you love, when you're enthused,

Speaker:

and you've got a burning fire and desire to do something,

Speaker:

and you're basically present and you're confident and certain about what you're

Speaker:

doing, you get the superconscious mind.

Speaker:

The subconscious mind stores all the emotional baggage,

Speaker:

but the superconscious mind gives you feelings that transcend the polarized

Speaker:

emotions. And Napoleon Hill in the book,

Speaker:

I don't believe discerns that very clearly.

Speaker:

And I want to take that to the next level,

Speaker:

because most people think of when they think of emotions,

Speaker:

they think of polarized emotions, avoid pain, seek pleasure,

Speaker:

but there's also feelings that are synthesized and the synthesized feelings;

Speaker:

gratitude, love, inspiration, enthusiasm, certainty,

Speaker:

and presence are the ones that lead to the most outcome,

Speaker:

the greatest achievements.

Speaker:

So I call it the superconscious mind more so than the subconscious mind.

Speaker:

So I would differ on that.

Speaker:

But the point is that you want to get feelings behind thoughts that are

Speaker:

inspiring, that you want to take actions on. Next one he talks about the brain.

Speaker:

Well, I just calling the medial prefrontal cortex, the executive center.

Speaker:

If you want to have the executive function and end up paid like an executive and

Speaker:

lead like an executive, it starts there. Again, back to the highest priority,

Speaker:

the highest value. The next one is the sixth sense.

Speaker:

The sixth sense is what I call intuition. And intuition,

Speaker:

see when you're infatuated with somebody and you're conscious of the upsides and

Speaker:

unconscious of the downsides, or resentful,

Speaker:

when you're conscious of the downsides, unconscious of the upsides,

Speaker:

you're basically polarized and your intuition is trying to reveal to you the

Speaker:

side you're ignoring and unconscious of,

Speaker:

to bring them into balance so you can be fully conscious.

Speaker:

And so the intuition is what's leading you to objectivity,

Speaker:

it's leading you back to your highest value.

Speaker:

Because when you're living in lower values and trying to please everybody else

Speaker:

around you and losing track of your own purpose and mission in life,

Speaker:

you get into a volatile impulse and instinct and get distracted.

Speaker:

And in that case, you need the intuition to recenter you,

Speaker:

to make you fully conscious, see both sides, so you make decisions wisely.

Speaker:

So I'm agreeing with that, full, much promoter of that sixth sense,

Speaker:

which I just call true intuition.

Speaker:

And don't confuse that with gut instinct and gut impulse.

Speaker:

Those are animal behaviors.

Speaker:

Intuition is something that distinguishes us from the animals. And meaning,

Speaker:

brings meaning to our lives. Now he also talks about,

Speaker:

those are the 14 principles, but these are some of the laws that he describes.

Speaker:

One of them is the law of having a definite chief aim. Well,

Speaker:

that's what I call the highest value, the purpose.

Speaker:

In my Breakthrough Experience and all my programs,

Speaker:

when you're living congruently with your highest value,

Speaker:

your identity revolves around it and your purpose revolves around it.

Speaker:

Your teleological purpose, which is the most meaningful thing you can do,

Speaker:

revolves around your highest value.

Speaker:

That's why I spend so much time and ask people to go to my website for that,

Speaker:

to do the value determination until they're clear,

Speaker:

until they get tears of gratitude, knowing that's what you're committed to.

Speaker:

The one thing that's most important to you. When you do,

Speaker:

you automatically found your chief aim. What Napoleon Hill called the chief aim,

Speaker:

Aristotle called the Telos. I call it the purpose. But whatever it's the metier,

Speaker:

it's the magnificent obsession as Tulllison called it.

Speaker:

But it's the number one thing that you can't wait to get up in the morning and

Speaker:

do that is so inspiring to you, you won't let yourself down on it.

Speaker:

When you got a big enough why, the how's take care of themselves,

Speaker:

is an old proverb. Mine is teaching. So that's my mission. That's what I do.

Speaker:

It's what I do every day. The next one is confidence.

Speaker:

The moment you have living by your highest value,

Speaker:

you have the most self worth and the most certainty.

Speaker:

When you're in your emotions, and you're seeking and avoiding,

Speaker:

and you're sitting with infatuation resentments and having all emotions,

Speaker:

you live in uncertainty.

Speaker:

But when you have a clear objective and a clear plan of action,

Speaker:

and you've completely strategized your process, focus,

Speaker:

you automatically have certainty and you have this confidence that he's talking

Speaker:

about.

Speaker:

And when it comes to specialized knowledge and being clear about what I do,

Speaker:

I have that when it comes to human behavior, I'm not that in other areas,

Speaker:

I don't have certainty when it comes to cooking or driving.

Speaker:

Things low on your values, you're not going to have certainty on,

Speaker:

but the one that's the number one value is where you're going to maximize your

Speaker:

certainty. The other one is a habit of savings.

Speaker:

Whenever you have self-worth that goes up and you're doing something that serves

Speaker:

people and you're enthused about doing it, you love doing it,

Speaker:

you're automatically going to increase the probability of having equanimity and

Speaker:

equity between people and maximize service, rewards, economics, and profits.

Speaker:

When you do, you have a habit of savings. If you don't value yourself,

Speaker:

don't expect the world to. It's so important to have an automated,

Speaker:

electronically done, debited process,

Speaker:

that automatically puts money into savings, buying assets,

Speaker:

so money's working for you instead of you having to work for it.

Speaker:

By automatically having the wealth coming in by doing that, secondary income,

Speaker:

you're getting to work because you love to, not because you have to.

Speaker:

The habit of savings.

Speaker:

If you don't value yourself and you don't have an automatic savings and

Speaker:

investment system in place, you're holding back your achievements,

Speaker:

I promise you.

Speaker:

Every time I put people on those automatic systems and made a debit right from

Speaker:

their bank account into an investment account and forced it into buying quality

Speaker:

index funds or some sort of asset,

Speaker:

properties or whatever that give capital returns and capital gains and dividends

Speaker:

and rental income, then all of a sudden the money's coming in passively.

Speaker:

And when the passive income exceeds the active income,

Speaker:

you got financial independence. The next one is initiative and leadership.

Speaker:

When you're living by your highest value you automatically wake up your natural

Speaker:

born leader, you're automatically spontaneously initiated to do it.

Speaker:

It just spontaneously occurs. My area.

Speaker:

I'm a leader in the area of personal development and human development,

Speaker:

you know, human behavior. That's my area.

Speaker:

I'm a leader in that because that's my highest value.

Speaker:

You want to be a leader in something,

Speaker:

you automatically stick to the thing that's most important in your life and

Speaker:

delegate lower priority things, stick to the highest priority things.

Speaker:

The next one is imagination, which I've sort of addressed.

Speaker:

The difference between imaging and imagination.

Speaker:

When you're clear on your highest values, yesterday I was doing a program,

Speaker:

the Breakthrough Experience and I had a gentleman there that was kind of writing

Speaker:

his mission statement down, it was a little bit waffley,

Speaker:

and I asked him some questions and got it a little bit more concise.

Speaker:

And all of a sudden he could feel more energy coming in.

Speaker:

He could see more clarity of his vision. Start with what you know,

Speaker:

let what you know grow and concentrate on what it is that you're really inspired

Speaker:

to do that your life demonstrates that's committed to,

Speaker:

and you will automatically see it in your minds eye.

Speaker:

And the next one is enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is the God within, the spirit within.

Speaker:

And it's not excitement. It's not standing up on chairs and going rah, rah.

Speaker:

I have no interest in that. I'm interested in true enthusiasm.

Speaker:

True enthusiasm is poised and present and purposeful and patient and productive

Speaker:

and prioritized and empowered.

Speaker:

It's a state where you feel is so inspired you get tears in your eyes and you

Speaker:

can't even imagine not doing what you're here to do. That's enthusiasm.

Speaker:

That's something that's not stoppable. That's contagious.

Speaker:

That lights a fire and causes a convocation throughout

Speaker:

can't wait to watch you burn. And when you're in there,

Speaker:

you automatically attract opportunity to do things. The next one's self control.

Speaker:

When you're living by your highest values,

Speaker:

the executive center sends fibers down into the amygdala,

Speaker:

automatically mitigates the impulses and instincts,

Speaker:

the infatuation resentments that distract you and automatically overrules some

Speaker:

of the injected expectations by the people outside that are opportunists to take

Speaker:

up your time and you keep focused. And that's where self control is,

Speaker:

not letting outside influences interfere with your longterm vision.

Speaker:

Doing more than paid for is the next one.

Speaker:

And making sure that you go out and do something,

Speaker:

when you can't wait to get out and do what your service is, you love it.

Speaker:

You feel like I'm getting paid to do what I love,

Speaker:

that's can't get better than that. And when you do,

Speaker:

you tend to give more value than somebody who's just doing a job.

Speaker:

So you want to make sure you're sticking to the thing that you love doing.

Speaker:

I ask people in the Breakthrough Experience, you know,

Speaker:

what is it you'd absolutely love to do and how do you get handsomely paid to do

Speaker:

it? When you get paid for doing what you love to do,

Speaker:

there's a special enthusiasm and inspiration behind

Speaker:

feel it and they want a part of it.

Speaker:

And they automatically feel they're getting more value out of it.

Speaker:

And doing that is the key to making sure that more people want to do business

Speaker:

with you. The other one's a pleasing personality.

Speaker:

When you're living by your highest values, you're most objective,

Speaker:

you tend to have the most reasonable communication.

Speaker:

You tend to not expect something for nothing or give something for nothing.

Speaker:

You tend to make sure a fair exchange of things.

Speaker:

People want to do business with you. People feel they're magnetized to you,

Speaker:

because when you're authentic,

Speaker:

see if you're exaggerating yourself and puffing yourself up, it's not you,

Speaker:

when you're minimizing yourself, it's not you, but when you are you,

Speaker:

you're magnetic because every human being wants to be that.

Speaker:

And when you're able to do that and exemplify that and demonstrate that,

Speaker:

they're drawn to you and magnetized, and it magnetizes people, places, things,

Speaker:

ideas, and events that synchronize with your inner most dominant thought.

Speaker:

The other one is accurate thinking. When you're living by your highest values,

Speaker:

you're most objective,

Speaker:

you're not subjectively biased and distorting things

Speaker:

and unfairnesses. You're the most objective.

Speaker:

And so accurate thinking comes from that.

Speaker:

Everything that Napoleon Hill was saying in his book ultimately goes down to

Speaker:

living congruently by the highest value. And I can't emphasize that.

Speaker:

You've heard me say that now over and over again, in this little presentation,

Speaker:

but finding out what your highest value is and sticking to that and delegating

Speaker:

lower priority things and finding a way of being remunerated for the highest

Speaker:

value,

Speaker:

the purpose that you love doing that serves people is the key to this thing

Speaker:

called think and grow rich. The next one is concentrating. Well,

Speaker:

you automatically concentrate on what it is that's highest on your value,

Speaker:

you don't need to be reminded to think about it.

Speaker:

If you need motivation to think about it, it ain't it.

Speaker:

I don't need motivation to do what I'm doing as far as teaching,

Speaker:

but I would need a motivation for something low on my values,

Speaker:

cooking and driving. I don't want to live by motivation.

Speaker:

Motivation's an extrinsic force that you get put reward if you do it and

Speaker:

punishment if you don't.

Speaker:

If you depend on outside influences you haven't found your mission,

Speaker:

I'm not interested in that, I'm not going to teach you that.

Speaker:

In the Breakthrough Experience,

Speaker:

I basically show that that's a secondary thing for people that are not engaged,

Speaker:

not inspired,

Speaker:

and imagine if you had to motivate people at work all day long and push them

Speaker:

uphill.

Speaker:

Finding people that are inspired to do it that can't wait to do the job that

Speaker:

because it inspires them and fulfills what they value,

Speaker:

that's what you want to surround yourself with.

Speaker:

And you automatically concentrate on whatever's highest on your value.

Speaker:

The other one is cooperation. When you're living by your highest value,

Speaker:

when you do the highest priority things in a day,

Speaker:

you feel more on top of the world, you come home, you can handle anything,

Speaker:

you're resilient, adaptable, you cooperate with people a lot easier.

Speaker:

When you're doing low priority things and you're not doing what's really

Speaker:

meaningful to you and you needing motivation and you're frustrated,

Speaker:

you're banging your head against the wall, you see things in the way,

Speaker:

not on the way, what happens you come home, you're a bear.

Speaker:

You're not cooperative. You're not, you're not interacting with people.

Speaker:

You're a mess.

Speaker:

That's why those are symptoms that are giving you feedback to let you know

Speaker:

you're not being authentic and how important it is to live by priority.

Speaker:

You know, Gary Keller talks about in The One Thing, the one thing,

Speaker:

find the one thing that you're inspired to do,

Speaker:

and then set sail on that as captain of your ship and master of your fate and

Speaker:

basically go after that which is really important to you. In my case,

Speaker:

I love teaching as you probably guessed. I'm pretty inspired by that,

Speaker:

but those are some of the highlights of Think and Grow Rich.

Speaker:

And it's important to know that, you know when the movie,

Speaker:

The Secret came out and talked about the law of attraction,

Speaker:

those are the principles of the law of attraction.

Speaker:

So if you're in any way interested in the law of attraction,

Speaker:

just reiterate and listen to this program over again,

Speaker:

or come to the Breakthrough Experience where I actually go through it and

Speaker:

explain it more depth and not the way over esoteric side,

Speaker:

but the real balanced side that allows you to really take actions to achieve.

Speaker:

I'm a firm believer you're here to go and empower all areas of your life.

Speaker:

You're here to create something original with thought,

Speaker:

you're here to create a business somewhere,

Speaker:

whether it's raising a family as a business and creating

Speaker:

some sort of business that's a service to people.

Speaker:

You're here to build your wealth and to have the money working for you instead

Speaker:

of you working for it. You're here to have a loving,

Speaker:

intimate relationship in life and something that's deeply meaningful there.

Speaker:

You're here to also do some sort of social contribution,

Speaker:

to be physically fit and be inspired.

Speaker:

I'm interested in helping people master that,

Speaker:

because you're not going to master your life if you're only focused on one

Speaker:

little area and the rest of them are falling apart.

Speaker:

You want to master all those areas.

Speaker:

That's why I teach that in the Breakthrough Experience.

Speaker:

Think and Grow Rich was about.

Speaker:

So if you enjoyed what I just said about Think and Grow Rich, go buy the book.

Speaker:

Also come to the Breakthrough Experience and listen to some more of the programs

Speaker:

we're doing on a weekly basis. I just want to make as I close here,

Speaker:

I just want to make a statement. I want to make a little offer for you.

Speaker:

There's a coming up masterclass coming up that I'll be doing that you don't want

Speaker:

to, you want to make sure you're there.

Speaker:

It's called Increasing Your Deserve Level.

Speaker:

How to increase and magnetize what you want when it comes to even economics,

Speaker:

by raising your deserve level and it's a masterclass on raising deserve level so

Speaker:

you feel worthy enough to have exactly what you want.

Speaker:

Because a lot of people are holding themselves back because they don't feel

Speaker:

worthy of having the dreams they have and how to clear dreams of why do we self

Speaker:

depreciate.

Speaker:

This program will be why do we self depreciate and beat

Speaker:

instead of why not be grateful for our lives and be inspired.

Speaker:

And if you sign up today for it,

Speaker:

you'll get a special gift which I love which is Awakening Your Astronomical

Speaker:

Vision,

Speaker:

which is a program on how to expand your contribution on the life and have a

Speaker:

bigger vision. If you don't have a bigger vision, don't expect a bigger life.

Speaker:

So that comes with it. Sign up now for the deserve level,

Speaker:

Increasing Your Deserve Level. My upcoming masterclass.

Speaker:

I hope you enjoyed today. Go out and get the book.

Speaker:

Take advantage of the Breakthrough Experience.

Speaker:

Go online and do the Value Determination process,

Speaker:

and try to watch as many of the YouTube videos we have to just to get a little

Speaker:

spark in the data to start your day off with high priorities.

Speaker:

If you fill your day with high priority actions,

Speaker:

it doesn't fill up low priority distractions.

Speaker:

And if you put your hand into the pot of glue, the glue sticks.

Speaker:

So hopefully today I've made a little sticky for you with some of the ideas from

Speaker:

a great book, 15 million copies, Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich.

Speaker:

I'll see you next time. See you at the masterclass. Thank you.
