THE PROBLEM
John Assaraf failed English. He failed maths. He earned $1.65 an hour packing boxes.
Then one question changed everything.
ONE QUESTION CHANGED EVERYTHING
Alan Brown asked: "Are you interested or are you committed?"
When John asked what the difference was, the answer was simple.
Interested people do what is easy. They make excuses. They let circumstances control their thinking.
Committed people upgrade their identity to match their destiny. They upgrade their beliefs, knowledge, skills and habits.
That one question changed John's life.
Five weeks later, he moved 500km, got his real estate licence and went commission only.
Within six months, he had made $30,000, which was $5,000 more than his father had made in an entire year.

INNER SIZING
Exercise strengthens physical muscles. Inner Sizing strengthens neuromuscles.
Your self-image is a neuromuscle. Your beliefs are neuromuscles. Your habits are neuromuscles.
A Hollywood actor gets a script, memorises it, rehearses it and becomes it.
So why not script your own life?
THE 800-POUND GORILLA
John explains that we have two minds:
The conscious mind chooses, imagines and applies willpower. The subconscious mind controls 95 to 97 per cent of thoughts, emotions and behaviours.
That means the gorilla controls most of the show.
Train it, or it trains you.
A simple test: Can you give yourself a command and follow through?
ONE SIMPLE EXAMPLE
John gave up one hour a day of social media and one hour a day of news.
That gave him back 60 hours a month. That equals 720 hours a year.
That is an extra week and a half every single month.
THE DEAD PERSON PERSPECTIVE
If you were dead, what would you tell the living version of you?
John shares a striking perspective: God chose you out of 250 million candidates. Do what you are here to do.
Stop asking whether you are worthy of the vision. Ask whether the vision is worthy of your life.
