The Successful Mind Podcast – Inside Episode 387 – Know Thyself Jul 27, 2021

Show notes

Today BT and I are going deeper into what it means to “know thyself.”

Knowing yourself—and understanding why you want the things you want (i.e., your motives) is everything. By NOT having this understanding, you risk blindly going through life, reacting to everything without understanding why.

In today’s episode we discuss:

- Why it’s important to know yourself and understand how you’re perceiving things

- You’re the center of your own universe—and nobody else is observing things in the same way YOU’RE observing them

- You either see yourself as a victim life…or you don’t (and the difference between the two)

- Your perception is based on the meanings that were given to you about the things you’re perceiving

- What we can learn about truth versus falsehood from the movie, “The Silence of the Lambs”

- Why Vernon Howard was such a huge influence on my own personal growth—and how he helped me learn more about my behaviors, my ways of thinking, and my judgements (which I had no clue were there)

- Good books to read to understand stoic philosophy and how to keep things simple

There’s an old stoic saying: “Know the truth and the truth will set you free.” There’s a very different energy about the truth…versus a “story” you’re convinced is true.

Do you know yourself and why you do the things you do?

The Successful Mind Podcast – Episode 387 – Know Thyself Jul 26, 2021

Show notes

The early Greeks instructed us to “know thyself.” This maxim is the key to self-improvement and self-enlightenment.

Knowing yourself is about knowing who you are, what you do, your tendencies, your weaknesses, your strengths, and uncovering the hidden things about you that control you. When you know yourself, you know everyone else. You understand their motives, intentions, and what they’re doing.

Vernon Howard is one of the best authors and teachers I know of who can help you study yourself. In today’s episode I’m covering many of his ideas, along with Marcus Aurelius’s principle of simplicity.

You’ll learn:

- How to look at complex problems and break them down to each separate part

- Truth cannot and will not force itself on anyone who’s not ready to see it—we have to actually WANT to see the truth before we can see it

- The truth is simple; lies and falsehood are complicated

- To understand the truth, you have to know yourself

- What it means to “see the wrongness” (i.e., ignorance or misunderstanding) in what you’re doing

- Every obstacle exists within ourselves

- There’s only one “true gate” and a thousand false gates

- The higher the barrier, the greater opportunity is for advancement

- Why you should let your higher self think for you

When you see the truth in any situation, the suffering goes away. When you shine a light on the darkness, the darkness goes away. But you have to be willing to see the truth. You’ll see it when you’re ready to see it.

The Successful Mind Podcast – Episode 386 – David From The Stage: The Subconscious Shift Needed For Sales Mastery Jul 22, 2021

Show notes

Being in sales gives you a way to earn far more money than the average person, because it’s all based on YOU and how much you sell.

In the late 1980s I began working for Metropolitan Life Insurance. A guy named Rick started outselling everybody, even the rockstar salespeople at the company. I observed him, trying to understand what he was doing to sell so much.

In today’s episode I share:

- What it takes to become a master salesperson and the subconscious “shift” you need to make in order to sell more

- Why inserting your subconscious “financial issues” into a sales conversation is never a good idea (don’t ever assume other people are viewing money the exact same way you are)

- How I improved my sales overnight and went from making $50,000 a year to $50,000 a month—by doing two specific things

- Why confidence is so powerful in sales—because it gives you the ability to change someone’s energy

- You must not be afraid to ask really personal questions or go to “sensitive” topics during a sales conversation

- Why you must learn to “ask for more”

- Understanding what your sales prospect’s goals are (i.e., what they really want and why they want it) is the key to sales

Plus, I share how to identify your own internal “buying strategy” and your internal stories about money and sales, so that you can recognize when these show up with someone else.

If you want to change anything in your life—including your ability to sell—you must realize just how powerful your subconscious mind is at trying to stop you from changing it. You must become aware of what you’re currently unconscious of.

The Successful Mind Podcast – Inside Episode 385 – Study Where You’re Going Jul 20, 2021

Show notes

If you’re going through your life, experiencing the same problems over and over again, not getting the results you want —chances are, your parents and your grandparents also had those same problems. We’re all programmed to be a certain way, and unless you take the time to study a new way of being and doing things, you’ll stay stuck in the program.

If you want to advance your life , make it better, and become a success, you have to study. Specifically, you have to study where you’re going.

In this episode you’ll learn:

- Human beings are supposed to learn from their mistakes, get better, and move forward—and when we don’t do that, something else is driving our behavior

- If you keep repeating the same problems over and over again, you most likely have a core wound at play

- There’s something you can take away from every successful person’s story that will make your life better—and if you’re not interested in a particular lesson, you could be shutting yourself off and avoiding going to some place inside of yourself

- The idea of “life isn’t fair” comes from a cancerous sense of entitlement growing in our society

- We’re not entitled to anything—if you want something in this life, you have to work towards it to become it

- You must accept yourself for who you are, how you want to live, and what you want to believe in, regardless of what other people think

- Consciously, we always have a choice as to how we feel

If you don’t study, you’re never going to know any of this.

I’ve always had a process of studying. It always comes back to answering these two questions: “Where am I going in my career?” and “What is it that I’m doing?”

The Successful Mind Podcast – Episode 385 – Study Where You’re Going Jul 19, 2021

Show notes

Successful people have put in thousands, tens of thousands of hours, in mastering what they do. Our brain often wants to find a “hack” so we can reach our end result faster. But there’s no secret hack. It’s all based on cause and effect. You must BECOME the person who does it by studying where you’re going. That involves experiencing constant change, growth, and making adjustments.

Many people can’t change, won’t change, or get tired of changing, so they drop out of whatever they’re doing. They look for a magical transformation that never happens. If you want to achieve anything in life, you need to make a lifelong study out of that thing.

In today’s episode you’ll learn:

- Understanding someone’s journey—what they had to overcome, how they overcame it, and what they learned—can help you reach your desired end result

- Why looking only at the end result of success can be an “illusion” that doesn’t show the process it took to get there—or the mistakes successful people made along the way

- Why getting the end result won’t solve all of your problems—and the idea of “short-cutting” your way to success is often based on unconscious programming and core wounds

- How your subconscious mind gets you to avoid doing the things necessary to get you where you want to go (so you can avoid experiencing your core wound)

- Why so many people adapted poorly to COVID

- My own process of studying everything that stands out to me, including biographies of people who are in completely different fields

By making a study out of where you’re going—you’ll get to see, understand, and hear about the work, the transformations, the hard times, the failures, the mistakes, and the adjustments successful people made along the way.

The Successful Mind Podcast – Episode 384 – Lessons From The Vault: Raising the Bar Jul 15, 2021

Show notes

Increasing your income is largely a matter of changing your mindset around how much money you’ll tolerate earning (as part of your “bottom line”). My specialty is in helping people make that mental shift, so that they can increase their wealth consciousness.

In all my years of coaching, I’ve found that most people engage in a similar pattern: when they try to have a quantum leap in earning more money, they struggle.

They navigate between two invisible “lines” that were literally programmed into them.

In today’s episode you’ll learn:

- Why most people who were raised middle class, working class or below, spend a lot of time bouncing back and forth between their “need line” and their “bottom line”

- Everyone’s “bottom line” is different—and it’s based on the amount of income they’ll tolerate earning

- What you’re comfortable with tells the whole story

- What “survival” and “toleration” have to do with your income

- What it takes to “raise the bar” in your income and create a new set point (or a “new normal”) for yourself

- How to permanently increase your income

Plus, I’ll walk you through an exercise to show you how you’re programmed around money.]

Until you learn how to raise your bottom line, you’ll never raise the top one (i.e., the amount of money you dream of earning). Our programming is geared towards what we “need” and what our bottom line is—so if you want to increase your income, you have to increase your bottom line. This is the greatest abundance lesson I could ever give you.

The Successful Mind Podcast – Inside Episode 383 – The Proper Use of the Will Jul 13, 2021

Show notes

Nobody’s ever really taught how to make a decision—and yet decisions are what shape our life and give us direction. Each day, do you consciously decide what to focus on? Or do you let your mind get pulled by whatever distraction pops up?

If you want to be successful in life, you must engage in the proper use of the will. This basically means learning how to focus and be “single of mind” in whatever you’re doing.

In today’s episode, you’ll learn:

- How to take out the negative connotation associated with using your “will” (which is really just your ability to focus)

- Why people who get distracted aren’t efficient in what they’re doing

- Why you must guard yourself against other people’s problems and fears

- 2 ways to program your subconscious mind

- 4 questions to help you make the right decisions

- My advice for what to do if fear starts creeping into your thinking (hint: starve the fear by not engaging in it)

- A simple mindset tweak to help you believe the results you want are possible for you (hint: in involves breaking your goal “down to the ridiculous”

Plus, I’ll share the internal shift I made last year during Covid that helped my company move forward without missing a beat.

Most people are constantly trying to change their outside circumstances—but the only thing you ever need to focus on is changing yourself.

The Successful Mind Podcast – Episode 383 – The Proper Use of the Will Jul 12, 2021

Show notes

The ability to focus is what allows you to make changes in your life. In order to focus, you have to be able to use your “will” in the correct way.

The will is an intellectual factor. It’s what separates us from all other living things. We have the conscious ability to focus, make choices, and ignore distractions (whereas animals can’t choose what they focus on). In fact, we can strengthen our ability to focus and use it to get rich on the creative plane.

In this episode I’m drawing from Wallace Wattles’ book, The Science of Getting Rich, in which he teaches “How to Use the Will.”

You’ll learn:

- The energy or motive behind what you’re doing is what matters most

- To get rich, you only need to use your willpower upon yourself—you never have to apply it to anything outside of yourself (nor do you have the right to do so anyway)

- It’s blatantly wrong to mentally coerce people to do anything

- If you want to become rich, you must not study poverty—nothing comes into being by thinking about its opposite

- “The thinking substance is friendly to you and is more anxious to give you what you want than you are to get it.”

- You’re not here to solve every problem on the planet; you’re here to solve the problem that speaks to your heart the most

- Why you should give your attention wholly to riches and ignore poverty

Aiming to become rich is the noblest aim you could possibly have in life, because it includes everything else. The best thing you could ever do for the entire world is to make the most of yourself. You can serve God and your fellow human beings in no greater way than by getting rich—and by being an example of someone who is rich.
