Have you ever wondered why we do the things we do? Of course our thoughts and emotions shape our behaviors and results in life, but what truly influences our conscious and unconscious thoughts on a day to day basis? I’ve put a lot of thought into this and we have discussed many different influencing factors that contribute to our lives, and we have even talked about ways to influence and change our behaviors and results. But today I’d like to talk to you about identifying what is truly affecting your life on a deeper level. 6 Core Human Needs by Tony Robbins Abraham Maslow was an American psychologist who studied and documented human needs and behavior. He developed a well know theory of basic human behavior called Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. The most basic of needs (which influence our behavior) are food, shelter, safety, etc. Then there are higher levels of needs like love, self-esteem, and personal growth in order to truly achieve “self actualization” and happiness in life. These are the main influencing factors in our behavior; as a result, they are the influencing factors in the results we achieve in life. Tony Robbins further developed this concept into what he calls the 6 core human needs. He has become well know for this training because it has literally impacted thousands of people (throughout the world) during his career. He believes that all humans have the same 6 core needs and that if they are fulfilling these 6 needs they will experience the most happiness. If not, they will feel dissatisfied with their life and also feel unfulfilled at times. He added that most of us will prioritize a couple of these needs and (as a result) those needs will drive most of our conscious and unconscious thoughts and actions. So you can see that if these needs are driving our behaviors and actions, then they will ultimately determine our results, our happiness, and even our levels of fulfillment. Many people choose to meet their 6 core needs in a positive way, but it is also possible (and common) that people can meet these needs in a negative (destructive) way that leads them to problems and struggles in their lives. Meeting our needs in a negative way never brings long term happiness and ultimately can cause serious pain, frustration, and even depression. Are you aware of the Core Needs you prioritize in your life? Are they being met in a positive or a negative way? I’d like to outline the 6 core needs so that you might become more aware of which ones you are prioritizing and which ones you need to continue to focus on fulfilling at a higher level. Also, I feel it's important to truly understand if you are currently filling your needs in a positive or negative way. This will help you to understand what drives your thoughts, behaviors and actions that are creating your life. So, let’s start to go through these needs and feel free to take some notes and really dig into what you feel are your Main Influencing Factors in your Success or Lack of Success in your life right now. No it’s interesting to note that the first four needs are ones that fulfill the needs of our Personality, and the last two needs are ones that fulfill the needs of our spirit. True fulfillment comes from the last two needs, so really pay attention to those as we go through them. Here are the 6 core needs: Needs of the Personality 1-Certainty- the need for safety, stability, security, comfort, order, predictability, control, and consistency…Avoid Pain… Obviously, we do our best to avoid pain in our lives by creating certainty. However, a problem can arise for many of us when we create unrealistic expectations of what it take for certainty. This can cause stress because we never seem to meet our needs for certainty. This is when you need to start discovering what limiting beliefs and programming that you carry inside that is affecting your expectations and needs. On the other hand, if we have too much Certainty we get bored, so this is why we need the second need. 2-Variety (uncertainty)- the need for variety, surprise, challenges, excitement, difference, chaos, adventure, change, and novelty. My partner and mentor Robert Stuberg would say that your true success as an Entrepreneur (and happiness in life) in in direct proportion to the amount of Uncertainty that you can handle in your life. I believe this is because we already know that success, growth and “uncertainty” lies outside your comfort zone. It is also interesting to note that these first two core needs work as a paradox and continually try to balance each other. Certainty vs Uncertainty. Which leads us to the 3rd Core Human Need. 3-Significance- the need to have meaning, special, pride, needed, wanted, sense of importance and worthy of love…we want to feel special. I read a very impactful quote from Adam Sincinski that I think explains the need for significance really well… "You can feel more significant by achieving something, by building something, by learning something or even by tearing other people down. They are all legitimate ways to fulfill the need for significance. The need for significance can help you achieve more, do more, and become the person you desire to be. All professional athletes would probably admit that the need for significance is a big part of their careers. In fact, it’s probably one of the most important influential factors that go into every decision they make. On the other hand, the need for significance can be used for evil purposes. For instance, it can be used to hurt people or gain an unfair advantage. Take for example a bully. A bully bullies other people to feel important, significant, and worthy. Therefore the need for significance can actually lead to violence." - An In-Depth Exploration Of The Six Human Needs Shaping Your Life, Adam Sicinski Tony Robbins talks about how VIOLENCE can also fulfill the need people have for significance in a destructive way. Understanding the need for significance is very important so that we can better understand how to deal with this need in a positive and productive way in society and in our personal lives. 4-Love & Connection- the need for communication, approval and attachment, connection with, loved and intimate with another person. Ultimately we are all searching for connection. Love is one of the most powerful emotions and can bring with it both “true happiness” as well as our “deepest fear” due to rejection, loneliness and regret. The key is to understand that love can be influenced by our beliefs in a big way. Low self-worth, past relationship failures and good or bad business experiences can all affect our ways of fulfilling this need for love and connection. A great example of this is why many of us settle for “Connection” rather than “Deep Commitment and Relationships” with others. We dont want to get hurt in a relationship but we still need to fill our need for Love and Connection. The problem with his is that we never truly fill this need long term by only satisfying it at a surface level. The same can be said in business if we are untrusting or unwilling to risk moving forward with our goals due to past failures. Needs of the Spirit 5-Growth- the need for constant emotional, intellectual and spiritual development. You’ve heard the saying, “if you are not growing, you are dying”. This comes from the fact that we all have a need to Grow. The best way to do this is through personal development. Without personal growth, you can feel “stuck in life”. The negative side of Growth is that many of us apply filters of perfectionism so we don’t recognize that we are growing because we are either 1)comparing ourselves to everyone else or 2) we set the bar so high we will never meet this need. The KEY is to always play the game of life against the past version of yourself and not others. And, to always remember that you need to look forward and not back when you are growing. 6-Contribution- the need to give beyond ourselves, give, care, protect and serve others. Another great saying is, “The Secret to Living is Giving”. The meet will ultimately only get filled when you feel you are impacting and contributing to those around you: in community, in your family, in your relationships, in your business. I really like what my partner Robert Stuberg says when he talks about his life mission and use of Unique Talents. The key to life is identifying your Unique Talent (excellent and passion about) and applying it in the service to others. This is an Amazing way to Create Success while living a Happy and Fulfilled live, but it also satisfies this need at an extremely high level. So...How are you meeting your 6 Core Human Needs? We strive daily to meet these needs, but remember that our needs can ultimately be met in both constructive and destructive ways…positive and negative ways that will influence and affect our lives. I believe that most all stress, anxiety, depression, and dysfunctional behavior comes from not filling these needs or filing these needs in a negative way. The key is to understand yourself and your limiting beliefs that are affecting these core needs. Find out how your inner beliefs are creating the filter you use to fill these needs on a daily basis. In other words, how are your daily routines being influenced in a positive or negative way because of the programming you’ve adopted throughout your life. So, I Encourage You to Ask Yourself these Key Questions: -What are my Top Core Needs? -How am I filling those needs now? (positive or negative) -What are the beliefs that are driving my needs? -Are these beliefs serving me and my life’s mission? -How are these needs impacting my relationships, business and communication? -How can I redefine the parameters needed to meet these needs. Let me give you an example of how Tony Robbins talks about using these 6 core human needs to redefine or increase the quality of your relationships… Tony Robins says “If you’re in a relationship with somebody and you meet one of their needs, you’re going to have an acquaintance. If you meet two of their needs, you’re going to have a friend. If you meet three of their needs, you’re going to have a deep friendship or love. If you meet four of their needs, it’s going to be a deep love. If you meet five or six of their needs, you’re going to have a love slave. … They ain’t going anywhere. But it’s got to be you meeting their needs, not the other way around.” - Tony Robbins On How To Master Relationships, J.D. Meier You get the point. Ultimately, you can seriously impact the quality of “your life” and "others lives" if you will be INTENTIONAL with how you meet the 6 Core Human Needs of Yourself and Others. I know that if you will take the time to “unpack” what is driving your life, then you will be far more effective in creating change, and you will completely transform your life and business. But its gonna take a little work. You must be willing to sit down and go through the motions to understand, identify, redefine and execute on your Core Needs in your life. If you do this…I promise you will see massive changes in your life. I appreciate you listening today. I hope you’ve found some value in this information. If you have, I encourage you to share this podcast episode with at least one person in your life. Have an amazing day. George Wright III
My grandson Lawson Cole turned 1 years old this past week, and before I get started can we all just address the elephant in the room...."Grandson?"...I know, right?! It doesn't really make sense for me to have a grandson considering how young I look and feel. But somehow it happened and I love it!! Anyway...now that I've gotten that off my chest...let's talk about some serious and important life lessons. As I watch and observe this little Rockstar Lawson...I have literally learned some valuable and insanely helpful lessons about life and I want to share 3 of these lessons with you in a quick post. 1-STOP WORRYING ABOUT WHAT EVERYONE THINKS ABOUT YOU As you can tell Lawson doesn't give it a second thought. I mean who doesn't love that hair. lol I know you are thinking, but George, he is 1 years old. I hear you, but think about it.... ...all of our programming that has shaped our beliefs, philosophies in life and our behaviors are all caused at a young age and continue to work against us as we get older. So it doesn't really make the lesson any less important. JUST STOP IT! Stop worrying about how you look, how you appear, and what people think about you. Here's a crazy thought you have to eventually accept...Nobody cares how you look. They are too worried about how they look and how they are perceived. Just stop spending energy on stupid stuff. Focus on spending your time and attention on what really matters, like Your Family, Your Business, Your Present Moment Memories you are creating. Life is too short to get caught up in what other people think...PERIOD!! 2- JUST CHILL!! Lawson is a pretty chill little kids. His brothers on the other hand are like little tornadoes that tear up the surrounding l12 foot radius of everything their path). Well, not literally, but sort, definitely, some of the time. lol Lawson will sit on the floor in the middle of the chaos and just take it all in and when he sees something he wants he just goes and gets it. It's that simple for him. I think in life sometime we let our ENVIRONMENT, PEOPLE AROUND US, and OUR CIRCUMSTANCES completely affect and shape how we Behave, React, or even Deal with events in our lives. Learn to just sit back and take in the craziness and not let it AFFECT you so much or CHANGE how you live your life. March to the beat of your own drum. Do what you want. Find ways to create peace of mind so that you don't get thrown off course. You cannot control the bat shit crazy people around you (and there are a ton), but you can certainly choose how you are going to react to them. 3- LEARN TO HAVE FUN & ENJOY LIFE!! My daughter Megan does an awesome job of making sure her boys are enjoying life, loved unconditionally, and given the time and attention they need. Throwing a World Tour Rock Star birthday party is just one example. Megan had all kinds of stuff she was dealing with and all kinds of problems, circumstances and things that she had to "deal with" to make sure he had an awesome birthday. And guess what, Lawson wasn't caught up in all the events, stress, and circumstances. he just enjoyed his little party...smashing cake, eating candy, opening gifts and enjoying the crazy and wild people surrounding him. Believe me...I know that most 1 year olds are "oblivious" to the real world, but how often do we allow ourselves to get caught in the the drama of the past or the stress of the future only to MISS OUT ON THE PRESENT MOMENT. I am not saying that we can be as innocent or "oblivious" as a little child, but we can certainly find times that we can just SET ASIDE our problems and ENJOY A LITTLE BIT OF LIFE in the PRESENT MOMENT. And when you learn to enjoy life a little, it helps you deal with life even better. Learn to get grounded in the moment and CREATE A FEW MEMORIES. Enjoy the life that you are living at times because there is plenty of time for stress, work and priorities. Oh and one more thing I like to say a lot on my Podcast... DON'T LET YOUR VISION OF THE FUTURE ROB YOU OF THE JOY IN THE PRESENT. Too many of us have listened to that stupid phrase..."grind now so you don't have to tomorrow"...I've done that most of my life and its a bunch of crap. I believe you can have BOTH. Work Hard, Play Hard and Learn to Have a little Fun! Anyway, I hope you learn a few lessons from Lawson like I did and I'll post a few pics of the crazy birthday party so check out my next post. Have a great day. G
You were born to Win, But you are being Programmed to Lose. Think about that for a minute... Couple keys... 1-You WERE born to win 2-You are being Programmed to Lose What does that mean? How is that happening? Lets discuss for a minute. Back up...Were does our programming come from? -Parents -Environment -People *EXPERIENCE But also there is certainly both Conscious & SubConscious Programming...Wouldn't you agree? Ultimately, your programming determines How You Think...Just like Your PHILOSOPHY. ROBERT STUBERG liked to explain your philosphy like the set of the sail in a sailboat. -it doesnt control the wind or outside circumstances but it DOES control your direction -Do you realize that regarless of circumstances you can Determine Your Direction? But Your Programing can work for you against you...The Secret is Awareness!! Once you are aware you can CREATE YOUR LIFE...CREATE YOUR IDENTITY...SHAPE YOUR PHILOSOPHY... Here are some Suggestion of how I believe you can RECAPTURE YOUR GREATNESS AND "PROGRAM YOUR OWN MIND" 1-SHAPE YOUR IDENTITY (3 levels) Background Beliefs Conscious Self-definition 2-RECOGNIZE & CONTROL Outside influences -screen time -people in your life -environment 3-CREATE DAILY RITUALS & FOCUS -clarity -vision -physical -mental -WORK...a Productive mind doesn't have time for distractions or Others Opinions. Remember...YOU WERE BORN TO WIN. YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES. YOU MUST BE THE DRIVER...
I want to talk to you today about creating more results in your life and business by turning your focus to activity rather than productivity. Sometimes I find that the biggest reason people are not getting the results they desire is that there is not enough Activity in their dialy routine. However, we need to discuss several critical elements to this like:
-Finding the RIGHT activity
-Creating MOTIVATION and Incentives
-TRACKING the right activity
-MEASURING the GAIN and not the GAP
I hope you will learn and become inspired by the message today.
Remember to share this episode and I look forward to hearing your comments.
Thanks

Welcome back to the daily mastermind. I am having a great day and I hope you are as well Yesterday I shared something with you. I shared one of my mentors, Robert, Stuberg talking about the secret. And I just want to highlight a couple of things for you today because I'm going to play you the second part of this audio.
First, The secret is the creative power in your life. Your thoughts do create your life. Your thoughts are very powerful. Everything in the world has been created at first in thoughts. My favorite quote from Napoleon hill is what the mind of man can conceive and believe it can achieve through a positive mental attitude.
But I think that says something that's so important and, you know, Robert talks about why the secret is so powerful. And there's a little paragraph that I want to read you real quick. That I thought was pretty profound. A Buddhist philosopher once said that everyone has given the key to the gates of heaven.
But the very same key opens the gates of hell. And whether you choose to take it literally or figuratively, The implications for this message are obvious just as the minds of all humans have completely shaped the modern world. Your own mind gives you the ultimate control over the conditions of your life.
It's a power that can raise you up to the highest levels of success and joy and happiness, or you can use that power to create unhappiness, envy, loneliness, or depression. That's created by your mind. In other words, you can actively be a part of the solution or part of the problem. The great thing is you have the ability to choose. Remember that your thoughts create your life. You choose your thoughts.
And your thoughts are going to take you down either of those paths. So what I want to talk to you about today is I want to share with you the second part of this audio program that he put together and remind you that. This is some powerful stuff. Robert had thousands and thousands of students that he worked with over the years...Myself included when I was the CEO of a several hundred million dollar a year financial education company. And this basic fundamental principle, and this is why I love what he talks about so much as it is basics. It is fundamentals. But today, we're going to talk about applying the power of the secret.
We're going to talk about the creation equation. We're going to talk about the power of decision. And how taking action on your dreams will help you to create your life. And then most importantly, I think many of you will benefit from this small section he talks about on mastering your emotional power.
And remember most of us, our emotions get the best of us. We don't master our emotions as a power. So I hope you enjoy this audio today, and I hope that you will take notes and I'd love to get your feedback. Make sure you hit me up on the daily mastermind on Facebook or Instagram. And I will talk with you again tomorrow. Have a great day.
Welcome back to the dealer mastermind GeorgeWright III with your daily dose of inspiration, motivation, and education. I am super excited to talk with you this week. We have so many things going on. We're launching our brand new weight loss product. We've got a new team that we have that we're going to be working with over in Texas.
But I'm excited to share with you a couple of things, because many of you have been talking to me about how frustrated you are in life how you want to make a change, how you want to be able to have new ideas and opportunities. And yet it's ironic to me that we are in probably the best time in my lifetime, that there is to create opportunities. And yet, so many people are struggling.
They're struggling. And I tell you this week, I want to start us off. With just a little bit of wisdom from one of my mentors, Robert Stuber now Robert passed away. A few years ago. And I will tell you that's been a difficult thing, but what I do at times is I will listen to some of the audios and teachings that he's had.
And it's just a great prime example of the fact that whether you believe you have mentors in your life or people that you surround yourself, that'll help you. You have access to so much information. All you need to do is apply your interest level, your passions. And find yourself, someone, something that continue to, that can continue to inspire you.
So I want to share with something with you, Robert and I, over the years have had so many discussions about what it's going to take for people to change their lives. And it always boils back down. To your mindset in your thoughts and things like that. And one of the things that I will go back to every once in a while that I just love is Robert did a program.
And it's called the secret. Now, many of you may have heard of the secret because you're familiar with the program and the video that kind of circulated a while back. But prior to that, Robert actually created a program called the secret. And it's an amazing program. It's two parts. And I'm going to share part one with you today, and then I'll share part two with you tomorrow.
But part one really talks about this idea of what is the secret and does, and discovering the secret in your life. And I want you to listen to this with two things in mind. Number one. That you can receive the motivation and inspiration you need. By simply finding mentors that you can have in your life. Like Robert.
Like individuals. Whether it's audio, his podcasts, videos, YouTube, whether it's live in person or in events. You can find people that can pull out of you. What I know. You have the ability to create, which is you have greatness inside of you. You have everything you need, you just need to push yourself outside your comfort zone. So today we're going to talk about discovering the secret. And second tomorrow, we're going to talk about in part two.
Applying. The secret and applying the principles that will help you to not only create in your life, but make key decisions, take your dreams to the next level and then master your emotions. And so I hope you'll enjoy this. I'm not going to talk anymore. I'm going to go ahead and turn it over to Robert. And i will talk with you again tomorrow morning
Thanks for Listening.

I consider Eric Thomas one of my "go to" mentors when I am getting my morning and day going. I encourage you to listen to many of his training, programs and inspiring words. Sometimes it helps to just add some mentors in your life that you can grab and listen to "on demand". So many people complain that they don't have the right environment, resources or even people in their lives. Guys...you can access some of the all time GREATS at the click of a button. Take advantage of this. Consume inspiring and motivating content continuously...and I promise you will begin to see the benefits in your life. I hope you enjoy this inspiring message this morning. Thanks for listening. George Wright III Original Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fsm-QbN9r8
