The Daily Mastermind

It's Never Too Late to Create Your Life How the Present Moment Will Define You   Quote of the Day Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go- William Feather   It's never too late to create the life you were meant to live.   Many of us carry around too much baggage from the past.   We judge ourselves, others and our circumstances   Only when we become AWARE of our thoughts, actions, and past experiences can we begin to move into a present and productive life.   Your Past Doesn't Define You Your past carries most of the negative thoughts and emotions you experience each day.

• Fear- past experience doesn't predict future results
• Doubt- create faith to overcome doubt
• Regret- only if you don't change and experience better
• Anger- take control of your life rather than letting anger control you
• Self Image #1
• • stop thinking about past mistakes and experiences
  • your best version is yet to come
  • enjoy the process and know the best version is always increasing

  The Present is Where You Will Create Your Future The present is yesterdays future that has finally arrived...George Wright III Our minds tend to drift between Pasts and Future without regard for the present. The present is the ONLY reality that truly exists. The present is a gift, so recognize the value... Why a gift?

• Fresh start to make life better
• Future uncertain and full of opportunity (choice)
• New Opportunities created in the present
• #1 Be grateful you are here and present

  How Can You Start to Create in the Present

1. Let Go of the Past- it's simply a decision to learn and move forward
2. Take Massive Action Today- don't put off till tomorrow
3. Have Clarity on Direction- what you focus on grows
4. Daily Rituals for Discipline- boundaries and preparation for growth
5. Focus Your Efforts- momentum is created with focus
6. Embrace Change- don't fear the unknown
7. Mastermind with The Right People- find strength in others

  Sometimes the Best Fresh Start is a Fresh Start... Be the Catalyst for Change in Your Life...Don't wait for change to happen.   Find Strength in

Key to Happiness...   Quote of the Day There is no limit on earnings...Earl Nightingale   Great article in Inc. Magazine The Secret to Happiness is 10 Specific Behaviors -despite happiness being a primary human motivation, only one in three Americans say they're happy.   Many people complain about their circumstances...why is that?   Bad stuff happens to everyone, but your quality of life isn't about what happens to you. The quality of your life and happiness depends on how you respond to what happens to you.   10 Behaviors, that if applied, will make you a happy person.   1-Let go of the need for specific outcomes. -fall in love with the process and the results will follow ...when I work to close deals, negotiate, or strategize, I will always do more when I focus on the race rather than the finish line.   2-Define your own success and happiness. -success and failure ebook by Stuberg is a great idea   3-Commit 100% to the things that make you happy. -quote by Mahatma Gandhi, "happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony." -committing 100% will make all future decisions for you.   4-Be grateful for what you already have. -happiness is as simple as gratitude. -Practice gratitude to live it: gratitude journal, daily reminders, acts of service, your language. ...I have have always had vision boards, but a gratitude journal has been incredible.   5-Say "I love you" more. - simple words that bring happiness to others.   6-Have hobbies directed toward your dreams. -daily rituals for happiness and focus on creating your best life. ...I have experienced this in my day to day and it grounds me.   7-Don't wait till tomorrow for what you can do today. -don't put your happiness off until tomorrow. experience in the present. ...I used to work for the future   8-Do something everyday that terrifies you. -status quo is a recipe for dull, boring and stale life. -your best life lies outside your comfort zone.   9-Put "the important" before "the urgent". -are you the driver or passenger. -client that feels job is "stuck" and passion is "free" is always stuck   10-Forgo the good to pursue the best. -many times in my life I have settled for a high level of success instead of pushing for greatness. -greatness is growth. happiness is growth.   Conclusion...Happy People Live in the Present.

Quote of the Day The Past Does not equal the Future- Anthony Robbins   Learn and move on. Your Future is not created in the past. Your future is also not created in the Future...It is created in the present...Listen to that again...   Now let's discuss the 7 Critical Questions for Focus and Direction...toward your path to success.   Review from Monday and really think through each question 1-The Opening Question- What's on your mind? -what are your dominant thoughts -why are you thinking them   2-The Expansion Question- What else is on your mind? -go deeper...remember, that your thoughts are driving your expectations and actions -you must seek to understand before you can direct   3-The Focusing Question- What's the most important thing you could be thinking about right now? -what is the big domino in your day, life, direction -key question is: are you focused on something "not" important to your direction and path   4-The Target Question- Exactly what do you want? -what emotions do you truly want in your life -how can you feel these emotions right now while continuing to make progress   5-The Guidance Question- How can you obtain help? -who is the best person to help you -how can you clarify and communicate your needs clearly   6-The Action Question- What is the best thing for you to do right now? -listen: you can only do one thing at a time, so what is the 1 thing you can do right now -how can you create daily rituals to drive the "correct" actions   7-The Growth Question- What are you learning by examining your thoughts and how can it help you grow? -what is the biggest take away (learning) you can have from examining your thoughts -how can you implement ways to create consistency   Final Thoughts Are your thoughts helping you to experience what you want in life?

Wondering what I've been up to...Missed a couple episodes last week.   1-Launching a new health and wellness company in LA 2-Creating a brand new look and feel for PD Company. 3-Finalizing strategy for our Mastermind Launch.   Most importantly...spend weekend with son in Vegas.   High/Low- pool, food, and movies...masks. Bottom line is that CPR is critical to creating a life.   Quote of the Day "Your time is limited; so don't wast it living someone else's life." Steve Jobs   This week I want to talk with you about this thought...right out of the Life Handbook from my partner Robert Stuberg.   We grow into our expectations...but, your expectations originate from your most common thoughts...so what are you thinking about all the time??   Are your thoughts taking you toward your goals, or have your thoughts or other distractions drifted you off course??   Robert has created 7 critical questions that you can use to keep you focused, motivated and moving in the right direction. He has refined parts of these questions over time and I want to talk with you this week about these 7 questions specifically.   We are all different...talents, abilities, etc...   But we all have various opportunities and can leverage the power of our thoughts to capture our goals and dreams.   There is so much power in your thoughts...you must learn to believe and harness that...   More importantly, you must learn to direct your thoughts rather than drift through life.   I'm going to walk you through the 7 questions today and then dig into them much much deeper over the next couple days. Use these episodes to really get clear on where your thoughts are taking you in your everyday life. Let's really dig into what you want and why you want it.   Here are the 7 Critical Questions, and don't let the simplicity of these questions fool you into thinking there isn't significant strategy that needs to be put into each of them.   The Opening Question- What's on your mind?   The Expansion Question- What else is on your mind?   The Focusing Question- What's the most important thing you could be thinking about right now?   The Target Question- Exactly what do you want?   The Guidance Question- How can you obtain help?   The Action Question- What is the best thing for you to do right now?   The Growth Question- What are you learning by examining your thoughts and how can it help you grow?   Simple, but not Easy...don't be fooled.   The key is guidance and direction daily...the devil is in the detail.   After all, Your Thoughts Create Your Life. Are they helping or hurting you.? Focused or Distracted?

Quote of the Day Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success.   Happiness & Success come in the little things like...   Today I want to talk to you about Leadership   Somedays I just want to share with you thoughts I happen to be studying and review myself. This morning I was listening to John Maxwell talk about leadership, and I had a few thoughts I wrote down to share with you.   Leadership is a combination of 2 things... 1- Values 2- Competency   Values are a key factor and you cannot separate these two things.   John also talked about creating impact in your life through Round Tables...   The 3 main questions people within your influence are asking (leadership) are:   1- Do you care about me? 2- Can you help me? 3- Can I trust you?   Ask yourself these core questions about your life in business, personal, family, and relationships. All 3 of these questions are important and critical for leadership and also a fulfilling life of impact.   Are you Goal Oriented or Value Oriented?   Goals without values will allow you to hit benchmarks that are unfulfilling. Values will allow you to still hit your goals and exceed your growth in many ways.   I hope that you have an amazing day and thinking carefully on how you are showing up as a leader in your life and business right now.   Thanks for listening.   George Wright III

Welcome back to The Daily Mastermind Quote of the Day "You miss 100% of the shots you never take." Wayne Gretzky   Brand New eBook available at Stuberg.com FREE   Topics Covered in the book

• The Pursuit of Success
• Success vs. Happiness
• When Failure Leads to Happiness
• A Story of Success and Failure

  Today I want to just highlight a particular topic in the ebook.   The topic of Success vs. Happiness   Robert begins the second chapter with a statement that I have personally felt I could associate with. I want you to listen and determine if you can relate to (believe) this statement as well..."I had to learn the hard way that success does not lead to happiness. It never has and it never will."   Success can bring you some short term joy and comfort but not happiness.   In fact, even setting goals for achieving happiness don't always create happiness.   My personal Experience is a great example of that...(explain)   You see, happiness doesn't like to be chased...   Robert talks about how to create the right environment, activities and qualities of life that will attract happiness. When you do this, you will be surprised how "easily" happiness appears in your life.   PP #7 I choose to be happy can be difficult to do. But, creating a life that will attract happiness can be a simpler path at times.   Remember this important idea...Success "the way the world defines it" will not bring happiness.   Pleasing others does not bring happiness. Nice cars, clothes, travel or things does not bring hapiness. The perfect job doesn't bring happiness.   We all know people that have had everything that the world considers Success and yet suffered from Depression, Suicide, Anxiety, and basic Unhappiness.   This is because...Having what you want doesn't bring happiness. The Dahli Lama said in his book... Happiness doesn't come from having what you want, but Wanting what you have.   That is the path to true happiness. Gratitude and acceptance is a path to happiness.   The difficult also presents itself when you realize that just "reminding yourself daily" also isn't the solution. Especially for those of us that Robert says are "addicted to success". If you have spent your whole life chasing goals and success, it is sometime easy to forget that it won't bring you happiness directly.   So, how do you start to create that true and lasting happiness? Well you can start by reading the ebook and let Robert break down some ideas and things for you. lol   But, so you don't feel I opened the topic and left you hanging, here are a few ideas that I have implemented in my life you can also use to create an environment of success and happiness:

• daily rituals to create happiness habits and patterns
• gratitude practice to stay focused on appreciation for what you have
• commitment to relationships to remind yourself that it more than just about YOU

  It's my hope that you not only build a life that will attract and grow happiness, but also start to focus your efforts on Happiness and not just Success.   Thanks for listening today.

Quote of the Day People with goals succeed because they know where they are going. Earl Nightingale   Do you know where you are going in life, or are you just going?   So many of us are so caught up in life, expectations, responsibilities, or even goals we "think" we want to accomplish. What is the reason you are doing what you are doing each and every day? Is there a reason and is it a good reason?   I want to talk today about Learning.   Prosperity Pillar #9 I am committed to life-long learning, and I believe this is a worthy cause in your life.   But most of you are Experts at Learning. You study and read and listen to all types of new things.   But what is the reason you are learning and how are you applying what you learn.   I wanna talk today about, not just learning, but applying...   Learning is not just studying or acquire knowledge you Don't have Currently   Learning is as much Applying what you've learned as it is acquiring it….   Here is a suggestion:  I believe you MUST tie your learning to an objective in your life in order to benefit from it and maintain your motivation for learning….   KNOWLEDGE IS NOT POWER….APPLIED KNOWLEDGE IS POWER…GAINING EXPERIENCE with Learning is Key   Let me remind you…. The only way to grow and create your life is to change your Limiting Beliefs right? The only way to do this is to start creating new experiences by operating outside your comfort zone thru:

• applying new knowledge
• creating new experiences

This is what helps you learn, grow and develop because you create and grow and change your beliefs through NEW EXPERIENCES   So, back to this idea of tying your learning to an objective in your life…   Start to focus your learning on areas that will help you create your best life -your unique talent, your immediate and long term needs of your company or even your personal life and relationships   BUT don't DABBLE…get specific with your intent and start creating results in your business, personal life and relationships….Be intentional with your learning.   Neuroplasticity says YOU CAN LEARN AND DEVELOP NEW PATTERNS…any age. Remember that neurons that fire together, wire together   So, start to make learning a HABIT through your daily rituals.   Examples of what I do daily for learning include (and also help with motivation, inspiration, education):  

• podcasts
• books
• email newsletter
• people or interviews

  *I dedicate a specific amount of time to learning because I know that I can use it in my business, and it will motivate and inspire me at the same time. So, do whats best for you…learn what is best for you.  

• audio or written word
• what personalities resonate with you most…
• what time of day is best for you (morning or evening)
• block out time
• learn in areas you know you can apply asap

  A great example in my life of applying learning is this Podcast. When I started the Daily Mastermind I had to learn, apply that learning, create daily rituals, content, etc. Bottom line is that applying the learning has changed my life in many ways.   Remember, learning to develop an objective in your life is better than just learning to learn.
