Personal Development is Not Enough… Quote of the Day Napoleon Hill- Anything the human mind can believe, the human mind can achieve. Let's talk about why this is true rather than just accept it as true. G3 Story As a Driven Entrepreneur I’ve cycled through (evolved) my focus over time... -chasing success for happiness and fulfillment... -shifted priorities to living a life of happiness... -major life challenges brought awareness from outside to inside… Personal Development became my focus…but I have always had ability to push past obstacles in my life -through inspiration, motivation and education. But I wanted to make an impact so I created Mastermind, Mobile, and Podcast. Through out this journey of motivating, inspiring, and educating I have become more and more AWARE of a major issue with the personal development space…that is that awareness is not enough…personal development is not enough….identifying your limiting beliefs is not enough. I like many of you have pursued these things my whole life (with success) but without lasting change in many areas…example of courses, events, teaching, etc… What we really need is as David Bayer puts it, a PD 2.0 where we truly understand the science and processes needed in our minds to create the lasting change. Let me explain… We all have heard the process of the Belief cycle. As a review and for those of you that have not, let me walk you through it… Thoughts…Feelings…Actions…Results…Beliefs -we are always in this cycle. -this is why our thoughts create our life. -this is also why our “limiting beliefs” will hurt our ability to create and grow. -you can tell yourself you believe or want something but your subconscious works against you. So, we identify our limiting beliefs and traditional PD tells us to be aware and change them…breakthrough! But its not that simple…which brings me to the point of this podcast and what I want to help provide you and i with over the next couple weeks. After 20 years in the personal development, financial education and entreprenuer space I heard some topics that really changed the way I think you should approach your life. Maybe it was something new or maybe it was just the timing and way it was said, but listening to a gentleman named David Bayer… I have had many puzzle pieces in my learning and development fall into place. Let me explain a bit more… You’ve heard me talk about the concept of neuroplasticity, so let me walk you through it again and I really want you to listen and sit on this thought for a while. Neuroplasticity is the ability of our brains to form and reorganize synaptic connections, especially in response to learning or EXPERIENCES we have. -this is important because everything we Believe is created from our Experiences -everything we store in our minds/brains is based on these Experiences we have that create beliefs. -so, herons that fire together, wire together…so we over our life Create these patterns/beleifs that guide our thinking and the more and more we travel the path, the more automatic it gets. (example) this is why when we are in a state of believing we are not worthy, or depressed, or not enough, or people take advantage of us, or bad things happen to us, or we can never catch a break, etc…we hardwire these thoughts and beliefs literally into our brains/minds. The challenge is that is we don’t effectively work to ReProgram or ReWire our minds, then our brains/subconscious/limiting beliefs (or whatever you want to call it) will work against us. Now, do I believe you can Motivate, Inspire, Educate with Strategies and push through circumstances and create new Experiences and Beliefs…YES. I’ve been doing it my whole life. BUT… Wouldn’t it be nice to have a clear Understanding, Strategy and Process by which you can learn to REWIRE and REPROGRAM your thinking so that you can effectively (intentionally) Create NEW Belief Patterns, New Experiences, and New Empowering Thoughts? And at the same time eliminate and stop Negative Patterns, Beliefs and Paths your neurons travel….I KNOW that would impact many of us. And I am going to walk you through what I’ve learned over the next few days and weeks so you and I together can start using this unbelievable process to actually change our thoughts and change our lives. You see the key is to find a way to interrupt the pattern, create new patterns, and slowly allow your mind to move a new direction Automatically and that take Practice, Repitition, but more importantly it takes an understanding of the process. And, truth be told, it takes a foundation of yes, Personal Development understandings as well. So here is what I propose over the next few weeks… I am going to take what I have learned over the 25 years I’ve been in this space. I have worked closely with and learned from the best. I want to take the most important KEY lessons I’ve learned from Tony Robbins, Ed Mylett, Bob Proctor, David Bayer, T Harv Eker, Les Brown, Noah St John, Gary Lee, Lou Holtz and many many other 7 Figure Entrepreneurs (and I’m talking about the Biggest Key Lesson from each of them), and I am going to cover those over the next 2 weeks or so in order to accomplish One MAIN Objective… To help give you and I a foundation to REWIRE our Brains and Develop Personal Habits for Success. As a result, it is my hope and goal to bring you new awareness of specific strategies and processes by which you can Actually Create Change in Your Minds/Brains so that you can Change Your Thoughts will affect your feelings, actions and results. This process will help you to begin creating the life you were meant to live and take you on the next step or evolution in your process as an entrepreneur. I know that if we can help you to build a foundation, understand the scientific facts surrounding the process and REWIRE your thought patterns, you will create significant impact, amazing results and more happiness and fulfillment in your lives. Its going to be a lot of stuff and a fast ride over the next couple weeks so I hope you will join me for this information. And please share this information with anyone you can so we can get them listening to the podcast and gain this valuable information we are learning together. Have a great week. George Wright III
I’m back…Excited to talk with you today about Your Time Your Time is a Choice… Quote of the day: He who knows he has enough is rich….Loa-tzu I have always had mixed emotions about this quote because I felt it meant to settle… But the more I contemplate this quote, the more I understand it… It's been said that the secret to Happiness is not “having what you want” but “wanting what you have”. I believe that if we enter a constant state (as ed mylett would say) of Blissful Dissatisfaction, then we are not content with our current state…we are happy and grateful for what we have while simultaneously pursuing a better version of our selves and a better life. I dont mean better as in more money, fame, recognition, etc (although you may have as much of tha you as desire in life too). I mean having a better life of happiness, fulfillment, helping others, and yes success and prosperity. Anyway…more to these quotes than lies on the surface if you will think about them each day. So, Today’s topic is on Time…. We talk a lot about wealth, but sometime we forget that our Time is the Greatest Asset we have. We forget that regardless of how much money, talent or opportunity you have, we all have 24 hours in a day. It is how you spend your asset of time that matters the most. How are you spending your TIME? Are you investing your time or are you spending it on dumb stuff? Are you taking your “free time” and wasting it on “rest, netflix, catching up on sleep, and other thing that rob you of the dreams you have in life?” Remember the quote a few days ago..”laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired”…I think we convince ourselves (program ourselves) to think we need rest when what we really need is to achieve Growth, our Dreams, and Fulfill our Purpose... Time is the great equalizer in the world of Success, Prosperity and Happiness. We all have the same 24 hours in a day. But, George…. -I have job or two or three that take my whole day -I have kids, family and responsibilities others dont have -I wasn’t given the same environment, opportunities, and things others have -I am not as skilled or talented as the next person Excuse, Excuse, Excuse….Yes, there are some people and situations that are different or have a bit of an advantage, but how You view your circumstances determines your outcome. Wayne Dyer says, “when you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change” I believe this no doubt… So, you can either choose to believe that you are overwhelmed, overloaded, stressed and under the gun or you can choose to accept your situation and level up… I listen to Lisa Nichols give a great speech last week about time and she stated some numbers that I think you might benefit from thinking about… We all have 24 hours in a day 7 days a week to start each week with… That is 168 hours…168 hours…think about that. Start from solution not the problem. Don’t start with, “I have a couple hours after I get home from work or only time on the weekend”. Start from the source of your assets… If you work a 40 hour job and you sleep 8 hours a night (56), that is 96 hours total… What are you doing with the other 72 hours per week? think about that…. What are you doing with the other 8-10 hours per day?? Sure there are kids, second jobs, and many other true priorities in life… so lets deduct 4 hours a day for family and 4 hours a day for your side hustle and/or 2nd job… That still leaves a couple hours a day… Do your realize how much you could do with an extra 1 hour per day put toward your Goal and Dreams…??? But where do most of us spend our time: -facebook and instagram -tick tock -surfing the web -online shopping *when was the last time you looked at your screen time? look at it….Let’s discuss this How about TV? How much do you watch Netflix or On Demand TV….? -we even convince ourselves that we are being more productive by now watching commercials.. -seriously…do you realize that you are putting your Dreams, Goals, Talents on hold for nothing but short term relaxation…? I want to draw something to your attention that you may have not considered… In addition to wasting time, you are also allowing your subconscious mind to be Programmed.. That’s right, you think you are not spending time working on YOU, but you actually ARE. The problem is that you are Programming YOU to move further from your goals and dreams.. You are Programming YOU to become more fearful, more dependent, more anxious, more stressed… MORE Bought into the Story that is being told around you…Think about that for a moment… Our thoughts create our life. Our thoughts drive the feelings and emotions and actions that we do. Our thoughts and feelings and actions create our experience which engrains our beliefs… You are ALLOWING your spare time to Involuntarily be Programmed to work against you… …or should I say you are Voluntarily allowing yourself to Give up on Your Goals and Dreams (sub). I believe this… We all have TIME to spend. We all have the CHOICE to spend our time wisely and in the pursuit of a worthwhile goal of some kind… I encourage you to use your time for productive endeavors. I encourage you to use your time to experience life. I encourage you to use your time to create the BEST versions of yourself. Stop being selfish with your time and spending it on yourself. Give it in service to others. The beautiful thing about this concept is that you can share your time and talents in the service to others and get PAID along the way (in money or other things). You can create an amazing life if you will just spend your time wisely… Last thought…learn to understand the power of compounding your time just like your money.
Time to Get in the Game Today I am traveling the road and stopped in Scottsdale, Arizona. I’d like to share a thought I have with you from Theodore Roosevelt… “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of hight achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” I hope you choose to enter the arena of life and play at 100%. You deserve the thrill of victory and I know you have the skills and power to work through the lows of defeat. It’s time to start creating your Ultimate Life. George Wright III
Quote of the Day Skill and confidence are an unconquered army. George Herbert Today’s Prosperity Report Interview is with Don Pendleton, co-owner of Protect Wealth Academy. They conduct 3 Day Summits for their high net worth investors around the country. It is the longest running event of its kind. Let me tell you a little bit about Don. I’ve know Don for close to 20 years now. Don is an expert in the areas of lawsuit protection, tax reduction and estate planning for over 20 years. He is a contributing author to the best selling books, “7 Legal Tools Made Easy,” “America’s Greatest Tax Secrets Revealed,” “The Asset Protection Handbook” and a few others… He has personally coaching and assisting thousands of professionals in implementing an asset protection strategy. Helping thousands of professionals save millions of dollars. I’ve know Don for 20+ years. Don, thanks for taking time to talk with us today… I want to cover a couple key questions with the time we have today if that’s ok? 1-Do you need to have “wealth” to benefit from Asset, Tax and Estate Planning? 2-Why do you start with Estate Planning when creating a Blueprint for wealth? 3-Can you help us identify a couple key Estate Planning Points to consider? 4-How about the biggest Key Areas to consider with Tax Planning? 5-What is the biggest mistakes you feel people make with wealth planning? Don, thank you so much for your time today. I know we are all interested in creating wealth, but sometimes we don’t spend the time to truly identify and outline the most important things…like structure and planning. I hope by listening to this episode people will begin to truly apply these principles. Also, we have a special gift for people that listen to this episode. It is the Asset protection eBook that covers this topic from a different angle. The Asset Protection eBook covers these concepts by looking at your Assets rather than from the categories of planning...Personal Residence, Brokerage Account, Small Business, etc. Click here for Instant Download… dailymastermind.com/asset-ebook I hope you will take a minute and get this valuable and amazing resource for FREE.

Quote of The Day An ounce of action is worth a ton of good intentions. Michael Josephson The Power of the Mastermind revisit my second ever episode of the Daily Mastermind... Exciting because its the reason that I Created the Podcast and Mobile App… The concept of the Mastermind and the term has been used a lot lately... Today my GOAL is to briefly help you to understand: -What the mastermind is and How it works -How it can be Applied in Your Life. I First learned about a mastermind from reading Think and Grow Rich? How many of you have read Think & Grow Rich, by Napoleon Hill? It has sold over 100M copies sold and 80 years since it was written, and it is STILL on the best seller list…that really says something... I personally read and continue to study and apply principles all the time…. Let me tell you a quick story... About 5 years ago….when I was really struggling to find direction in personal/business life… I found myself one night listening to an audiobook by Napoleon Hill and it changed everything. -he was at a similar point in his life…struggling…questioning…wondering -he had written Laws of Success and achieved massive success…then the depression -lost everything…600 acre estate, bank, -lost confidence, drive, determination... He was questioning himself (just like you and i do when we struggle)…He asked himself...
Quote of the Day Failure is the opportunity to begin again, more intelligently. Henry Ford The month of May is going to be your best Month ever… Do you believe this statement? Why wouldn’t it be? There is no better time to start Creating, Building and Living Your Best Life than right now. Let’s make this month your best month ever. Let’s find a way to get you some Massive Momentum and start Crushing Your goals for 2020. In order to do this, you need to recognize and identify the biggest things that may be influencing your success. The current environment (due to Covid-19), your change in schedule (due to more isolation), and even your habits and patterns may have all changed over the last couple of months. But the Good news is that all of that can change on a dime if you simply make the decision to start creating some Momentum. Momentum will be the key ingredient in helping you to start fueling your success. Momentum will help you to stay motivated and inspire to do what it takes to press forward in a Huge way. I’ve thought about key steps I’ve taken over the years to create momentum and have listed them here. If you will follow these steps and concentrate your efforts for the next 30 days, you will create some amazing momentum and that will carry you into the second half of 2020. But, it will take some heavy lifting to start so let’s get right into it. 1-Start with Your Vision You’ve heard me talk a lot about identifying and clarifying your vision. This is critically important because your “dreams and goals” will be the fuel to inspire and motivate you during the extended time needed to create momentum. Don’t be too concerned with having it all “figured out”. Simply decide What you want your life to be like, and write it down. A vision not written down is just a dream…a pipe dream as we say in sales. :) 2-Align with Your Passion It’s important for me to mention that working or building a Vision that aligns with your Unique Talents (purpose and passion) will definitely help you to create momentum quicker and simpler. Now if you are not doing what you ultimately want to be doing because of a job or short term requirement, then you may consider identifying what things you can do in your current position to focus on your strengths. Set aside the things you are not passionate and good at, and double down on applying your strengths to your current activities and goals. 3-Set a BIG HUGE Goal Jim Collins talked about setting a BHAG Big Hairy Audacious Goals in his book Built to Last. I love this concept because I think sometime we set goals too small in order to feel like we can “reach them”. The problem is that these goals lead to “thinking small” and “inside the box”. In order to create serious momentum, you need to Stop Thinking Small and Force Yourself to get Creating and Tap into the Amazing Potential that you have inside you. Each and everyone of us has abilities and talents that we will never uncover unless we get outside our comfort zone and push the limits of our Beliefs. Plus, I think we almost always underestimate our abilities and potential. I’ve seen this over and over in my life. Bill Gates said, "Most people overestimate that they can do in one year and underestimate what they can do in 10 years." 4-Focus & Remove any Distractions Have you ever seen how you can use a magnifying glass to focus the sun on one particular spot and it could literally start a fire or burn that spot? This is because like you and I the sun becomes extremely powerful when it is focused in one area. The key to momentum is Concentrated, Focused and Massive Effort on a Single Area until it catches FIRE. So, my advice here is to FOCUS (follow one course until successful), and eliminate all distractions that will keep you from your focus. It’s ok to be able to say NO to everything else for a season…a period of time is all. This means extracurricular activities, tv, hobbies, sleep, sports, or anything else you can eliminate to give you focus. Identify your distractions and deal with them. 5-Identify & Reframe Your Fears The other thing that can seriously impact and slow your progress in life is obviously your FEARS. Your lack fo belief or your fears when it comes to certain activities will consistently keep you from getting outside your confront zone which is where almost 100% of your BEST LIFE will be located. So, I recommend you sit down and seriously identify what fears you have that keep you from reaching your goals. Are you afraid of talking to people? Are you afraid of what people will think? Are you afraid of failure? Then write these things down and REFRAME them so that you will lessen your fears and be more willing to ACT when it’s needed. For example: If you are afraid of what people will think, then tell yourself (or write it down in front of you) that those people are not going to help you create your best life and you will not let their thoughts keep you from reaching your goals. There is power in writing it down and telling yourself how you will act in advance of when it’s needed. 6-Identify Sources of Energy We all have times when we are run down, tired, or just “down and out”. However, we all have also had times in our life when we get “energized” and “re motivated” or catch our “second wind”. Identify what things give you energy when you need it and have those resources readily available. For example, you may get pumped up and motivated when you play certain music or see certain pictures or think about family or friends you are trying to help. You might also be someone who gets super excited about proving someone wrong when they doubt you. Sylvester Stallone always talked about having an enemy or competitor that drove him. We know that Arnold Swartzenegar was that guy for him that drove him to huge levels fo success. They are great friends but he needed someone to drive and push him because he knew that he wouldn’t be able to live with losing to him because he was so competitive. Find out what drives you and USE IT for motivation. 7-Make a Decision & Commitment It’s important that I remind you that there is a distinct difference between Making a Decision and a Commitment to Create this Momentum. You need to make a firm decision that you will do whatever it takes to Create Momentum and Crush Your goals this month. As Yoda Said, “There is no TRY…Only DO”. Make the decision. Also, you need to “upfront” Decide that you are going to Commit to the Path you’ve laid out and “see it through”. Don’t waiver if you are not seeing progress toward your goal at first. Successful people Decide and Commit to Stay the course. Your goals and dreams will usually appear long after you wanted to quit. The difference between winners and losers is that winners Don’t Quit. They don’t give up and they stay Committed to their plan long after their motivation fades. 8-Create a Mastermind I’m sign to talk about Masterminds a bit more on Wednesday on the Daily Mastermind Podcast, but I want you to keep this in mind. There is a massive Power and Energy that can come from being part of a Mastermind. I know this word is thrown around a lot lately in the marketplace, but here is what Napoleon Hill said about Masterminds in the best seller Think and Grow Rich:
Quote of the Day
Proverbs 23:7 As he thinketh in his heart, so is he.
Book about US more than OTHERS…influence comes from within...
Final Thoughts on How to Win Friends and Influence People
-timeless classic
-review often
-seasons of our lives
Couple specific thoughts from book overall...
Criticism
-Today environment makes -A slippery slope
-Do good but be authentic
-Be YOU
Dealing with People
-Communication is #1 skill
-book about YOU not others
-persuasion not manipulation
Influence
-great leaders influence not manage
-have a cause...
-bring out best in others
Overall, I feel this book is one of the best ones I have read on how to Deal with People, Create Influence and Become a Better Leader. As Carnegie points out in the book, we are constantly dealing with people in business and it is a key skill that must be developed in order to deal with day to day problems that we face. It is amazing to me that communication, influence and people skills is not taught to everyone in school. If it was, i believe we would be much better equipped to deal with life and much better at communicating with those around us. Nevertheless, I believe that if you will read and apply the teaching in How to Win Friends and Influence People you will definitely Create a Life of greater Happiness, Fulfillment and Prosperity.
Welcome back to this 5 Day series on How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. We are on Day 4 and we are covering a high level review of the Amazing Principles and Strategies taught in this book and I want to remind you to pick up a copy and dive into all the stories and case studies he gives in this All-Time Best seller.
