E35 The Success Habit of Cooperation – Working in Harmony with Ourselves & Others


Listen Later

Have you ever wondered why your best intentions stall, even when your mind is set? Discover the hidden role that cooperation—not just with others, but within yourself—plays in moving past procrastination and creating your most successful habits.

Every goal isn’t just about willpower or motivation. True success happens when your body, mind, and spirit are working together—when your desires, intellect, and actions are in sync.

Understanding this internal cooperation can change not only how you view procrastination but how you overcome it, build new habits, and work powerfully with others.

What You Need to Know

  • Procrastination often starts below the surface. It’s not just you lacking discipline; it’s your subconscious mind reacting to underlying fears, not something your conscious willpower can simply override.
  • We are layered beings: spiritual, intellectual, and physical. Harmony between these layers is key before any action takes shape in the real world.
  • Success habits, including cooperation, are built in the subconscious. The more you practice, the more automatic and effortless your actions become.
  • Cooperation begins internally. Only when your inner world is in agreement can you effectively join forces and thrive alongside others—whether in teams or mastermind groups.
  • The law of the mastermind isn’t just for groups of people. If you’re flying solo, you can create an imaginary mastermind by drawing inspiration from the minds and characteristics of those you admire.

What You Need to Do

  1. Practice self-awareness. Notice your thoughts and where you’re feeling resistance—especially when you label yourself as a “procrastinator.”
  2. Create intentional habits. Pick which habits you want to ingrain and consciously practice them until they become second nature.
  3. Seek internal harmony. Make sure your desires (spirit), plans (intellect), and actions (body) are aligned and not working against each other.
  4. Foster meaningful cooperation—first with yourself, then with others. Build teams and alliances based on shared values and a clear, common mission.
  5. Try the mastermind principle: Form a group (real or imagined) focused on your goals. Surround yourself (physically or mentally) with those who reflect who you wish to become.

Your Next Step

Ask yourself today: Where am I out of sync—with myself or with my team? Take five minutes to reflect on an area you’ve been procrastinating and look for the fear or misalignment at its root.

Then, start a conversation—with a trusted friend, colleague, or even with your imaginary mastermind—about a small step forward you can take together. Cooperation is your success multiplier.
