How is your week going so far?
Are you attacking your goals or are you dealing with the same old issues?
Are you feeling like you are on track or do you feel stuck?
I am finding more often than not that most people are cycling through the same problems.
…and these problems are almost entirely struggles with the mind.
Sure there are challenges and obstacles in life, but most of them involve our mind or perspective.
So…I want to focus today a little on Hacks for the Mind…because I feel like the DAILY battle with your mind is the BATTLE you must win if you are going to live your best life.
Recently, I've had to deal with some super challenging situations and I’ve found myself looking to my mentors and lessons learned for advice, counsel and answers. So, I’d like to share some of those with you…
When I’m starting to struggle a bit there are certain mentors I go straight to based on what I know helps ME cope and get on top of the situations in my life…David Goggins is right on top of the list so let’s start with him today…
David Goggins is well known for his ability to push past the normal limits of his body and the average person.
David says that most people live 40% of their best life. In other words most people quit at 40%.
They quit their relationships, their businesses, their fitness goals, and everything else they do.
He says it's like a car with a governor which limits the speed you can drive. The car can certainly go faster…and if you are in my car, it definitely likes to go fast…lol
But, the governor is added to slow the car down. No matter how much you try it won’t go above a certain set speed.
This is what our brains are doing to us when we start to encounter difficulty in our lives.
Our brains are designed to keep us safe, comfortable, out of difficult situations, so it sends us signals that make us want to quit and slow down or walk away from a challenge.
The problem is that usually our minds quit at about 40% of our potential.
I find this really crazy because our minds really are our greatest tool…but you start to realize that they are also our greatest weakness.
And to make it worse, our minds know all of our dang weaknesses and have the language that it knows will make us slow down, doubt our abilities, create fear and basically make us quit.
Your mind knows you better than anyone or anything in your life….But guess what…
Believe it or not…YOU CONTROL YOUR MIND…You are the driver of this incredible tool.
You are not your mind. You are the driver of your mind. The key is to NOT let go of the steering wheel. That's what most of us do. We let our minds do what they want and shut us down.
And when you let go of the wheel and let your mind wander enough times, you form the habits of giving up, being lazy, “settling for less”, and ultimately a mediocre life…at 40%…you start to coast through life.
How many of you feel like you might be just “going through the motions right now?”…waiting for a break in the storm…waiting for something to change…waiting for answers?…Well you are the answer. You have the answers inside you...
So, why does this happen? Why do we settle and give up on our relationships, business, and all types of things in life?
Basically, it's because we crave comfort and many times don’t see solutions to fix the problems so we quit. But, this is when we need to look to give ourselves the most hope. Because you do have the answers. The solutions lie on the other side of quitting…on the other side of the 40% mark.
See the key is to do what prosperity Principle # 3 says…
ACT IN SPITE OF YOUR MOOD.
None of us wants to get up and go to the gym…
None of us want to set feelings and ego aside and work through challenging relationships
None of us want to get to work building our business after a long day at the J O B or dealing with life issues.
But the truth is it's only at the 40% level that David Goggins says we can truly create new habits and find real solutions. It's at that point that the brain learns to become creative…not before.
You see your best life lies inside the pain and past your comfort zone…past the 40% mark. Your solutions will only come to you WHEN you are “experiencing” the difficulties. The brain (your mind) is very resourceful, but it is also very tricky. It knows your weaknesses. It steers you toward comfort.
“Go back to bed. Start Monday instead of today. Give up and find a better opportunity, relationship, business, or gameplan.”
When you tell yourself you are going to quit at that 40% level…your brain shuts down. It wants to shut down. It wants the easy way out. But don't let it control you. You control your mind...
This is when you need to tell yourself that “I am never going to stop or give up”.
Tell yourself that you have no choice but to succeed and your brain will go to work finding a solution to what you are dealing with. It will look for the answers and help you be creative.
Eric Thomas says…when you want to succeed as much as you want to breathe…that’s when you will be successful.
Stop worrying about finding solutions to the problem and start focusing on never giving up.
This is going to be a daily battle with your mind. You can develop habits, but just accept the fact that you will be battling your mind throughout your life…make it a challenge. make it a game.
And this is where it will become productive…become fun…become fulfilling…become success.
You see we have been searching most of our lives for happiness and fulfilment in the wrong place. We spend our lives wanting happiness, but looking for it in places of comfort and easy paths. I know I have...
Goggins continually emphasizes that you won't find toughness, resilience and fulfilment in a comfortable environment. This is why he challenges himself every single day. He looks forward to being uncomfortable because that is where you will find your greatness and the greatest rewards in life…in the difficulties. Learn to love to challenge yourself.
Science has shown us that you get small dopamine hits even with small accomplishments.
-overcoming a challenge
-losing a few pounds
-not giving up on that business or relationship
You don’t need to get to the end goal to actually experience the fulfilling emotions…the dopamine hit that you and your brain desire…
Victory lies inside the smallest of steps…the smallest of accomplishments…
You will truly experience your best life and emotions by simply choosing to place yourself inside the battle. Place yourself inside DISCOMFORT. Let yourself get past the 40% mark where most people quit, cause that is where your greatness lies.
Let me suggest some ways you can help yourself get to this point and beyond:
-visualize what lies inside or beyond the battle
-learn to disconnect from external needs for fulfilment…the fulfillment emotions are already inside you.
-know that the most fulfilment truly comes from the emotions you experience in the little moments of victory…THIS IS WHY WE SAY ITS THE “LITTLE THINGS IN LIFE that count"
-visualize with clear and specific EMOTIONS…try this
-learn and discover what motivates you (music, pictures, objects, emotions)
-find a person or thing that drives you with something to prove
-use past failures to DRIVE yourself
Just remember “one more rep”…that's a perfect example of being at the 40% mark and pushing through to your greatness. Ed Mylett…new book…the principle of “one more”
Also, you have to realize that you do not have to have a trainer, coach, or specific tools. You have all the tools inside you right now. Your mind creates most problems and has the power and tools to overcome those problems.
I’ve spent most of my life searching for fulfilment, happiness and joy in the rewards and successes. What I’ve learned is that ultimately we are all just seeking the emotions that these accomplishments or things will give us.
The secret is that we can experience those same emotions right now. In the moment. In overcoming small challenges…not just end goals…you’ve already experienced happiness in your life…visualization and small wins will bring those same emotions back into your life right now.
Learn to live beyond the 40%
Learn to live in the gaps most people avoid
Learn to never quit on your relationships, business, fitness goals and desires
Learn to value the daily battle with your mind
See it as an exercise in uncovering your greatness…
Look forward to the battle because it will bring you the happiness and fulfilment you desire.
Find ways to challenge yourself daily so that you can ultimately live the life you are capable of living…Push past the 40% mark.
Your Brain will find the tools to solve your problems
Yes, Your Thoughts Create Your Life…Yes, You are the One Who Steers the Ship…Your Mind.
Start Today to Challenge Yourself to become the Best Version of Yourself. Learn to love LIVING inside UNCOMFORTABLE SITUATIONS.
And as David Goggins Says….STAY HARD
Let’s talk about some business today…
Let’s talk about the most powerful asset in your business?
Your single most important business asset is your MIND ... more specifically, your mindset.
Your business only grows as quickly as you, your mind and your thinking do.
If you want to create a multi-milliondollar business, or go to the next level, you must think like a multi-million dollar business owner.
You must, in your mind’s eye, already BE that business owner.
I want to talk about 7 Mindset Principles that might help…
Devoting as little as 15-30 minutes per day to shifting your mindset is THE single best investment in building your business.
Great companies and great business leaders do great things that leave a lasting legacy and make this world a better place. Such leaders create CAUSES, not businesses. START WITH WHY. If you want to get to the 7 or 8 or 9-figure sales level in your business, you must have, at its core, a “transcendent” purpose for its existence - a purpose that is bigger than yourself and your own self-interests.
Whatever you focus on, that is what you will multiply in your business. If you focus on the problem, you will get more of the problem. If you focus on finding a solution, the door will open to more solutions. Wherever your attention is, will drive your most probable outcome. Where is your attention right now in your business - on the problem or on the solution?? Shift your attention in your business to get to the $1,000,000+ level?
Your business is always a mirror of your own inner thinking. Your thoughts create your business and your world. Inner world and Outer worlds exist for everyone. For example, if you are attracting low income-producing or difficult customers, your beliefs about your income worthiness or about the kind of clientele that want your products/services, are what’s attracting such marginal customers.
To go to the next level in your business, you must first get to the next level in your mind. You must know the value you offer and raise your mental sights on the kind of customers you want to attract. What challenges do you have in your business currently? How do they mirror back to you your thinking? Are these recurring problems? Are you seeing patterns? Start there to shift your thinking and create different outcomes. SAME WITH LIFE!
Having hopes, dreams and visions of becoming a successful enterprise is not enough to create it, although certainly it’s a first step. Deliberate creation comes from deliberate intention, from making a **decision**, that no matter what, you will take your business to the next level.
When we come from a place of 100% committed intention, synchronicity and magic happen. Finding the right people and resources to support your vision unfolds effortlessly. Momentum pulls you in the direction of your dreams. Are you in a wishful state or have you committed 100% to creating your visions and dreams? What will it take to be 100% committed?
Marketing is not a battle of products. It’s a battle of PERCEPTIONS. It all starts in the customer’s mind. Perceived value, first and foremost, is what attracts customers to your business. Real value is what retains them. What are you doing to create perceived value in your customer’s mind?
Some examples of tactics to use:
With every action, there is a consequence or outcome. While you cannot control the outcome, you can control, and are responsible for, your actions. This principle tells us that if you want a different consequence or outcome in your business, you must take different actions. Don’t focus on the outcome, focus on the cause… to GET those results.
No matter what your current level of success, a multi-million dollar enterprise requires higher level strategies and higher level performance actions than your past efforts. Where are you getting inferior outcomes or results in your business? What different actions can you take to create a different outcome?
Find a Mentor that has done it. Find Strategies that are Proven.
All riches are of the mind first. It is your MENTAL ATTITUDE that determines the difference between a floundering $10,000/month business and a booming $1,000,000+/month empire.
“As you believe, so shall you receive.” If you were to picture a multi-million dollar business, how would that business be different from what you are operating now?? How differently would YOU need to be to run a business that large?

A FINAL NOTE: Mindset changes do not happen overnight. It takes persistent focus, effort and attention to shifting deeply embedded thinking to a new level. The scientific principle of neuroplasticity does prove that we can rewire our brain. We can reprogram our thinking…but it takes some effort. It takes repetition, frequency and consistency.

Winston Churchill said, “Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.” Boy, isn't that true?
Let me ask you some critical questions…
Do you want more abundance in your life?
Do you want more prosperity in your life?
Do you feel that you have abundance in your life?
Do you believe there is abundance all around you?
The reason I ask you these questions is because many of us operate from a place of scarcity.
And you cannot create success from scarcity.
Are You Living Your Life from a Place of Scarcity?I want you to analyze your thoughts.
When you go into any given situation, are you operating from a place of scarcity?
Or abundance?
Do you feel there are solutions?
Do you feel that there is enough to go around?
Scarcity is a manipulator...trust me.
Scarcity makes you feel like:
You can’t create success and prosperity without an attitude of abundance.
And you definitely can't do it from a place of scarcity!
What you need to do is break that scarcity cycle. You've got to try to stop thinking from a place of scarcity.
Today is a New Day...I know you’ve heard that before, and I also know many of you are struggling with various things in your life MAYBE YOU FEEL... -anxiety about some upcoming event -maybe your struggling to pay your bills -maybe your dealing with some tough emotional feelings in a relationship or partnership. -maybe you feel trapped in a business or career that you are good at but not satisfied with...you simply want more in your life. -or sometimes things may be going great but you simply just have a really hard day, or week or month for that matter. Haha Well I want you to know that you’re not alone. We all go through seasons and cycles in our lives. And sometimes we simply don’t want to hear that it’s for our good or we will grow through it, even if it's true... Sometimes we are just looking for a little support and inspiration... So let me share some thoughts with you today that might help... Thanks for listening today. I look forward to talking again tomorrow. George Wright III

I recently reread an amazing book by Ryan Holiday called, the Obstacle is the Way. I want you to pick up a copy when you get a chance. Ryan is a multiple times best-selling author and someone that has a unique perspective on life and business based on the idea of Stoicism which you’ve probably heard about if you listen to Tim Ferris or any current Entrepreneur Crushing it now days.
I want to share with you an important principle today that I feel will set you up for success over the coming weeks. It is the principle of Perspective, Action, and Determination.
The Key to Overcoming Obstacles lies in a message from Marcus Aurelius:
Objective judgement, now at this very moment.
Unselfish action, now at this very moment.
Willing acceptance-now at this very moment-of all external events.
That’s all you need.
Thanks for listening today. I look forward to talking again tomorrow.

Begin to look at how you perceive the problems and situations in your life. Then start to focus on the solutions…That’s what todays podcast is all about.
The mind that's overcome with all the obstacles is not the mind that can help you create solutions. It's a mind that's focused on solutions that will take you far in life.
Here’s your strategy to implement this today:
It might be overwhelming to find 10 possible solutions, even if they're crazy ideas. But see what happens with your mind as you start to focus on solutions. You’ll find that simple things will come up that you may say to yourself, “Why didn’t I think of that already?”
You have greatness inside of you. I want you to remember that it's never too late for you to begin living the life that you were meant to live. So, start by focusing on solutions.
