Most people believe success comes from working harder.
John Mitchell believed that too.
After spending decades building businesses and making a good living, he still felt like his results never matched his potential. That frustration led him back to one of the most influential books ever written, Think and Grow Rich.
But he became obsessed with one question.
What was the secret Napoleon Hill kept referring to but never fully explained?
That search led John to develop a simple daily system that transformed every area of his life. His income increased 25 times. He met his wife. He sold his company. Today he teaches his methodology at the University of Texas as Advanced Leadership of Self.
In this conversation with Sean and Caitlyn Foyer, John explains why 95% of your daily actions happen unconsciously, why most people stay stuck despite working incredibly hard, and how a simple daily practice can begin rewiring the thoughts that shape your future.
If you've ever felt like your effort isn't producing the life you know you're capable of, this episode offers a different way to think about success.
