Chiseled Ep 124 - Creating Power in Everything We Say - Thomas Blackwell
If you're a lover of words, you're going to love listening to Thomas Blackwell. Like the water whose molecules change based on how you talk to it, Thomas has a way of making you change the way you think, and more importantly, how you convey it.
Thomas is the author of The Liberty of Our Language Revealed, We Bring About What We Talk About. Now a highly successful entrepreneur and public speaker, Thomas went — in the space of five years — from earning $87 per month in commissions to running an insurance company earning seven figures per year — largely and simply by picking his words carefully.
He learned during that time that by paying attention to the way he spoke to others, he changed the way he talked to himself about himself. Rather than thinking he was in a "losing" situation, he flipped the script and chose to say he was on his way to winning. It started to work. And people started to connect with him.
"Sometimes the universe is conspiring for things we don't want to happen but oftentimes we're unconsciously making those decisions," he said.
Thomas explains that our success depends not only on how well we connect with others, but how we perceive ourselves — because how we perceive ourselves is how others will be trained to see us.
For instance, a salesperson afraid to ask for a referral conveys disbelief about the value of what he or she offers. Likewise, if we view others in our industry as competitors, we miss out seeing them as partners.
These redirects in our thought and speech can be applied to our personal and spiritual lives as well.
"In order to reach the next level of achievement ... my value has to be congruent with that," he said.
It may sound at first like Thomas is talking about the power of "positive thinking," and that's part of it. But Thomas is a master of language, and he coaches on turning thought into speech, which then stimulates action. The law of attraction works better when we give our words the power we seek.
These insights on how to use language successfully started working for me immediately. Here's an example for you: instead of saying, there's nothing wrong with putting out some positivity, instead I will tell you that everything right can come from it.
When you listen to Thomas speak and then try it yourself, you too can create maximum opportunity to be of service and success. I hope you enjoy putting into practice this week's episode of Chiseled.
