Today’s Topic: Creation

We are all creators. As soon as we are put on this earth, we are meant to be creating. This is in contrast to a desire to acquire more. We have a negative perception of chasing more and more and more without ever being satisfied. The key difference is that we need to learn to be happy where we are at right now AND we need to have audacious goals. Both are possible, both are necessary, and we’re going to show you how to enjoy the journey.

In This Conversation We Cover: 

• [07:45] Reading “Ask and It Is Given”
• [09:07] Creation versus acquisition
• [11:39] Feeling inspiration and taking action
• [13:31] Making sure you can enjoy the journey
• [20:21] The contrast between what you want and what’s in front of you
• [28:28] Life is a mural, paint it.

David Bayer is an expert in mindset and business strategy, with Success Magazine calling him “the leading expert on the next evolution in mindset,” and I can see why. He has a very different approach to personal development, with a particular balance of hustle, fulfillment, and spirituality. This episode taught me how to step back and realize that things are aligning for me just the way they are supposed to — not how I think they are supposed to. We dig into what it was like living in Italy, how he spearheaded the online strategy for Ducati motorcycles, and how he developed his unique perspective towards personal growth.

In This Conversation We Cover: 

• [04:33] Growing up in Laguna Hills
• [09:13] How working for an Italian brand differs from American brands
• [14:03] Getting caught up in comparison with others

• [06:58] The point where change happens for people
