On Todays episode of Mindset Hackers I'll be sharing with you 2 questions you can ask yourself before you make any crucial decision that can affect your health, your finances, your relationships, your career. 

A decision can have 2 vastly different outcomes, they can put you into a place of abundance and happiness, or a place of scarcity. 

Take for example the Great Recession of 2008 when the housing and stock market bubbles burst and so many people got completely wiped out, while a very select few made lifetime fortunes. 

There were so many that were near retirement, with a sizeable nest egg, that made the WRONG decision when it came to protecting their wealth. They sold at the bottoms or near the bottoms and missed out on capturing the opportunity of a life.

At the same time, there were those who kept their emotions in check and doubled down and purchased assets at the best time, during a 50% off sale. 

1 decision, 2 vastly different results that had ripple effects that lasted decades.

So how do you stay on point with making better decisions?

Tune into this episode and I'll share with you the 'compass' question that I use that helps me to make much better decisions that I did when I was younger. 

Here are a few quotes from Warren Buffett, one of the people that I look up to for being in check with his emotions and purchasing assets instead of selling them at the wrong time, but working from a place of courage and having an incredible strong mindset: 

"Be fearful when others are greedy. Be greedy when others are fearful."

“The best chance to deploy capital is when things are going down.”

Start making better decisions today but asking yourself questions that will align with courage and your core values of your highest self. 

Today on the Mindset Hackers Podcast it's time to drop some major heat with one of the most impressive entrepreneurs that I know, Ammar Assad. 

Ammar owns 2 rental car franchises and learned how to 'detach' from his businesses and hire the right managers to allow those to function independently, they started business coaching to help others do the same. 

Ammar is a leader within a top sales and coaching organization who helps other coaches go from average to elite. He has also been a pivotal colleague in my own entrepreneurial journey and a great friend as well. 

Before we started recording, I asked Ammar what was one topic that he was excited to jam about and he said 'Taking Action', which was EXACTLY what I was wanting to talk about. 

As you know, I often talk about the formula for success being this equation "Knowledge + Action - Overthink = Massive Results". 

When you dissect any journey, and you use this formula, you can find out where the breakdown is: you are lacking the skills and knowledge, or you've gotten past that part and you aren't taking action. 

Ammar and I have a powerful discussion on ways to know when you are in 'knowledge collecting mode' and also taking 'covert action' meaning you are taking action in ways that are avoiding the type of action that gets results. 

In this episode of Mindset Hackers, we discuss the power of having an unwavering faith, belief and absolute confidence in what it is that you want to accomplish! 

Belief is the seed of action. This means the stronger your belief system, the stronger the actions you will take towards creating that life that you want!

The other night I was watching "Spiderman: No Way Home" with my son, and MJ mentioned to Peter Parker after suffering a devastating let down: "If you expect disappointment, then you wont be disappointed".

Would you agree that if you are fearing being disappointed, you will hold back? You won't go 'all in', and in some cases, you will be paralyzed and unable to take action.

The formula for success is as follows: Knowledge + Action - Overthink = Massive Results.

What is overthink? It's caused by negative self talk, doubt, lack of confidence or debating in your head if you took the right actions or not.

What if you could use that time and energy that you are spending in overthink and direct that right into your goals? It will turn the headwind into a tailwind!

The 4 levels of belief: 

In this episode I'll also drop 5 things you can do to 10x your belief in yourself because the actions that come from it will be so much stronger and more powerful than being in a state of overthinking and doubt. 

Mindset Hackers: Start your incredible week off with these 10 principles of Wealth and Success. Listen to each principle and ask yourself at what level are you playing at? Where can you improve? 

To be the highest version of yourself, become aware of where you are and where you could be and then work towards closing that gap.

Rule #1 - Take ownership of your life.  

Rule #2 - If you want to change the fruits, you've got to change the roots.

Hello Mindset Hackers, on this episode my Mindset Twinner Hallie Avolio joins me as we talk about the importance of elevated emotions and having a high frequency makes it incredibly easy to create the life that you desire. 

Last week I talked about the Law of Attraction and how most people miss out on the 'taking action' component. But there is more to that, and it has to do with you emotional frequency and staying as much as possible in what is called an 'elevated emotion'.

Your emotional frequency has ranges depending on what kind of state you are in. 

At the lowest part of the spectrum: fear, shame, resentment, victim mentality, unworthiness. 

At the highest part of the spectrum: joy, happiness, enlightenment, freedom, gratitude. 

By having an intent (of where you want to go) combined with a true elevated state, will allow more of what you want to come into your life. 

In this episode we also talk about Abraham Hicks and the Emotional Guidance Scale, as well as the Emotional Frequency Scale. 

We talk about how to move up the scale as well to create momentum to propel you to your life of success, and how to avoid a downward spiral. 

Make sure to grab our Badass Activation Essentials:

Here is the list of emotions from high vibe to lowest, according to the Emotional Guidance Scale from Abraham Hicks. Work your way up from low frequency to high, and you don't need to go from low to high in an instant but work your way up if you need to.

Think about this: Your entire life, you've been told that you need to 'work hard to succeed'. This is a lie. 

You CAN make it hard, you CAN make it a struggle, but that is completely optional. 

Does success need for you to take action? Yes.

Does success take time? Yes.

Does success need for you to gain new skills, use new tools, learn new things? Yes.

But why does it need to be hard? Why does it need to be a struggle?

The answer is because when you were a child, your elders, your parents, your mentors gave you the advice that you need to work hard for success. It's been engrained in your mind, and it has trained you to that it WILL be hard, so therefore your subconscious has a tendency to want to avoid success. 

Just like the movie 'Inception', this priming of our mind that it will be hard, is what makes it hard. Our mind wants to avoid success because it THINKS it will be hard and is looking for the shortest possible path, which moves us further from the mark. 

In this episode of Mindset Hackers, I will dive into 5 steps that you can take to erase the programming that is making it so hard to succeed.

There is a 6th tip that I did not mention on the podcast and that is to stop labeling work as 'hard'. Your mind does not want to do things that are hard, but most of us who are driven are excited by a challenge. 

Reframe: challenge > hard. 

Get rid of these words as well: hustle, grind, struggle. 

Time to start reprogramming your mindset to 'let it be easy'. 

Mindset Hackers Presents: Passion and Thriving Guided Affirmations and Visualization (3 minutes).

Start your week off right with my weekly affirmation episode on Mondays, then on Tuesday I'll be dropping a solo episode followed by a rockstar guest on my Thursday episode. Mindset Hackers is now 3 days per week!

My body is healthy, my mind is brilliant and my soul is tranquil.

I believe that I can do anything.

Everything that is happening now is happening for my ultimate good.

I am the architect of my life. I built its foundation and I will choose its contents.

My ability to conquer challenges is limitless. My potential to succeed is infinite.

Today I abandon my old habits and take up new, positive ones.

I can achieve greatness.

Today I am brimming with energy and overflowing with joy.

My service is a gift to this world and I feel compelled to share it.

I create daily opportunities for myself and others.

I am driven by my passion and my purpose.

There are no limits to what I can achieve.

My work leaves me stronger and happier at the end of the day.

My success or failures do not define me, they grow me.

Success and growth are inevitable outcomes of my work. 

Today on Mindset Hackers I bring you one of the top professional mindset coaches that I know. She has a podcast that ranks in the top 1.5% in the world, she has also been voted as one of the top Mompreneurs by Yahoo Finance and today she sits down with me to talk about the journey and the mindset of a true entrepreneur that makes a living doing what she loves to do. 

Jamie is also a member of the Elite Mastermind group, the top mindset and personal development mastermind in the world and part of my Elite series of interviews with some of the members. 

Jamie Kullman was born to be an entrepreneur, slinging car parts out of her garage right after high school. Then she became an Amazon affiliate, a model, then she became a Podcaster inspiring and empowering moms to create sources of revenue. 

Then she became a professional mindset and business coach and that is how our paths have crossed. 

The path of entrepreneur is no surprise: sometimes it looks all glossy and badass but what you don't see is the defeat, the starting over, the self doubt, the questioning. 

But what is created from that is a forged mindset of finding a way to make it happen. For those who are willing to take this journey, if you stay on this path and learn the lessons that you need to, a very good life awaits you. 

Oh that mysterious Law of Attraction thing, so easy for some, so elusive for others. On this episode of Mindset Hackers, I'll be breaking down the secret that wasn't mentioned in the book "The Secret" and why the book through so many people for a loop. 

In the mid-2000's the Law of Attraction theory really started taking off because of the book "The Secret" which changed so many peoples lives. 

I still hear people talking about how the Law of Attraction was the inspiration to so many to live a life that is so great. 

But I've also seen people miserably fail at the Law of Attraction, saying the book was 'snake oil' and pseudo science. 

The truth is most people who fail at the LOA are not using it in the right way because they are not taking the appropriate actions that correspond with truly attracting the dream outcome they desire.

They do what I call 'Wishful thinking' and hope and pray that things start to come together.

The 'secret' isn't much of a secret and it isn't necessarily magical or mystical (unless you want it to be) but it lies in the embodiment

Add this to a playlist!

On this episode of the Mindset Hackers podcast I have another short affirmation episode for you. This one has the 10 Scrolls from the classic personal development book from Og Mandino called the Greatest Salesman In The World.   

This book is a great resource for aspiring entrepreneurs who want to manifest abundance in life and are willing to commit to some simple and timeless principles. 

This book tells the story of a boy named Hamel and his journey on finding out the secrets to creating wealth and finds them through the 10 scrolls that are mentioned in this video.   

I love to take timeless books like the Greatest Salesman In The World and turn them into affirmations that you can repeat over and over until they start changing your belief systems to be in congruence with some of the most successful people in the world.   

Scroll 1: Today I begin a new life 

Scroll 2: I will greet this day with love in my heart 

Scroll 3: I will persist until I succeed 

Scroll 4: I am nature’s greatest miracle 

Scroll 5: I will live this day as if it is my last 

Scroll 6: Today I will be master of my emotions 

Scroll 7: I will laugh at the world 

Scroll 8: Today I will multiply my value a hundredfold 

Scroll 9: I will act now 

Scroll 10: I will pray for guidance  

Listen to this guided affirmation and visualization movie until they become memorized. 

Embody these, don't just say them, but live them!
