You are in for a treat today… At our last Asset & Wealth 3-Day Summit, we were able to hear from a former Sr Trial Attorney for the IRS, Scott Estill.  He is a Speaker, Author, Attorney and the leading expert when it comes to maximizing the deductions in your business and personal tax returns.   Scott is by far the best individual, mentor and speaker I know when it comes to saving thousands on your tax returns.  Plus, he is very knowledgable in how to combine tax planning with different structures that fit your business and investing needs.   I hope you enjoy what he has to offer.  Here are a few of the things he is going to cover in this 45 minute segment he did to over 500 investors and business owners:   -how to benefit from the CARES Stimulus Act -why tax planning is different from tax preparation -how to maximize tax deductions for individuals and businesses -how to identify the “loop holes” in the IRS code -how to identify the right tax planner for YOUR business or investing   Remember this…you spend way way more money on taxes than you do food, shelter, and basic needs combines…as a result, it is very very important to get on top of tax planning in your life.  Its is much easier to save thousands of dollars in taxes than make thousands of dollars in business or investing…so take notes, listen up and enjoy…   Also, I will post a link to the full video including the powerpoint presentation he does inside the Daily Mastermind Youtube page….     LINK to FULL Video Presentation and Powerpoint here:

Why do we do what we do? ...The 6 Core Human Needs from Tony Robbins   Have you ever wondered why we do the things we do?  Of course our thoughts and emotions shape our behaviors and results in life, but what truly influences our conscious and unconscious thoughts on a day to day basis?   I’ve put a lot of thought into this and we have discussed many different influencing factors that contribute to our lives, and we have even talked about ways to influence and change our behaviors and results.  But today I’d like to talk to you about identifying what is truly affecting your life on a deeper level. 6 Core Human Needs by Tony Robbins Abraham Maslow was an American psychologist who studied and documented human needs and behavior.  He developed a well know theory of basic human behavior called Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.  The most basic of needs (which influence our behavior) are food, shelter, safety, etc.  Then there are higher levels of needs like love, self-esteem, and personal growth in order to truly achieve “self actualization” and happiness in life.  These are the main influencing factors in our behavior; as a result, they are the influencing factors in the results we achieve in life.   Tony Robbins further developed this concept into what he calls the 6 core human needs.  He has become well know for this training because it has literally impacted thousands of people (throughout the world) during his career. He believes that all humans have the same 6 core needs and that if they are fulfilling these 6 needs they will experience the most happiness.  If not, they will feel dissatisfied with their life and also feel unfulfilled at times.  He added that most of us will prioritize a couple of these needs and (as a result) those needs will drive most of our conscious and unconscious thoughts and actions.    So you can see that if these needs are driving our behaviors and actions, then they will ultimately determine our results, our happiness, and even our levels of fulfillment.    Many people choose to meet their 6 core needs in a positive way, but it is also possible (and common) that people can meet these needs in a negative (destructive) way that leads them to problems and struggles in their lives.  Meeting our needs in a negative way never brings long term happiness and ultimately can cause serious pain, frustration, and even depression.    Are you aware of the Core Needs you prioritize in your life? Are they being met in a positive or a negative way?   I’d like to outline the 6 core needs so that you might become more aware of which ones you are prioritizing and which ones you need to continue to focus on fulfilling at a higher level.  Also, I feel it's important to truly understand if you are currently filling your needs in a positive or negative way.  This will help you to understand what drives your thoughts, behaviors and actions that are creating your life.   So, let’s start to go through these needs and feel free to take some notes and really dig into what you feel are your Main Influencing Factors in your Success or Lack of Success in your life right now.   No it’s interesting to note that the first four needs are ones that fulfill the needs of our Personality, and the last two needs are ones that fulfill the needs of our spirit.  True fulfillment comes from the last two needs, so really pay attention to those as we go through them.   Here are the 6 core needs:   Needs of the Personality 1-Certainty- the need for safety, stability, security, comfort, order, predictability, control, and consistency…Avoid Pain…   Obviously, we do our best to avoid pain in our lives by creating certainty.  However, a problem can arise for many of us when we create unrealistic expectations of what it take for certainty.  This can cause stress because we never seem to meet our needs for certainty.   This is when you need to start discovering what limiting beliefs and programming that you carry inside that is affecting your expectations and needs.   On the other hand, if we have too much Certainty we get bored, so this is why we need the second need.   2-Variety (uncertainty)- the need for variety, surprise, challenges, excitement, difference, chaos, adventure, change, and novelty.   My partner and mentor Robert Stuberg would say that your true success as an Entrepreneur (and happiness in life) in in direct proportion to the amount of Uncertainty that you can handle in your life. I believe this is because we already know that success, growth and “uncertainty” lies outside your comfort zone.     It is also interesting to note that these first two core needs work as a paradox and continually try to balance each other.  Certainty vs Uncertainty.  Which leads us to the 3rd Core Human Need.   3-Significance- the need to have meaning, special, pride, needed, wanted, sense of importance and worthy of love…we want to feel special.   I read a very impactful quote from Adam Sincinski that I think explains the need for significance really well…   "You can feel more significant by achieving something, by building something, by learning something or even by tearing other people down. They are all legitimate ways to fulfill the need for significance. The need for significance can help you achieve more, do more, and become the person you desire to be. All professional athletes would probably admit that the need for significance is a big part of their careers. In fact, it’s probably one of the most important influential factors that go into every decision they make. On the other hand, the need for significance can be used for evil purposes. For instance, it can be used to hurt people or gain an unfair advantage. Take for example a bully. A bully bullies other people to feel important, significant, and worthy. Therefore the need for significance can actually lead to violence." - An In-Depth Exploration Of The Six Human Needs Shaping Your Life, Adam Sicinski   Tony Robbins talks about how VIOLENCE can also fulfill the need people have for significance in a destructive way.  Understanding the need for significance is very important so that we can better understand how to deal with this need in a positive and productive way in society and in our personal lives.   4-Love & Connection- the need for communication, approval and attachment, connection with, loved and intimate with another person.   Ultimately we are all searching for connection.  Love is one of the most powerful emotions and can bring with it both “true happiness” as well as our “deepest fear” due to rejection, loneliness and regret.  The key is to understand that love can be influenced by our beliefs in a big way.  Low self-worth, past relationship failures and good or bad business experiences can all affect our ways of fulfilling this need for love and connection.   A great example of this is why many of us settle for “Connection” rather than “Deep Commitment and Relationships” with others.  We dont want to get hurt in a relationship but we still need to fill our need for Love and Connection.  The problem with his is that we never truly fill this need long term by only satisfying it at a surface level.  The same can be said in business if we are untrusting or unwilling to risk moving forward with our goals due to past failures.   Needs of the Spirit 5-Growth- the need for constant emotional, intellectual and spiritual development.   You’ve hard the saying, “if you are not growing, you are dying”.  This comes from the fact that we all have a need to Grow.  The best way to do this is through personal development.  Without personal growth, you can feel “stuck in life”.     The negative side of Growth is that many of us apply filters of perfectionism so we don’t recognize that we are growing because we are either 1)comparing ourselves to everyone else or 2) we set the bar so high we will never meet this need.  The KEY is to always play the game of life against the past version of yourself and not others. And, to always remember that you need to look forward and not back when you are growing.   6-Contribution- the need to give beyond ourselves, give, care, protect and serve others.   Another great saying is, “The Secret to Living is Giving”.  The meet will ultimately only get filled when you feel you are impacting and contributing to those around you:  in community, in your family, in your relationships, in your business.     I really like what my partner Robert Stuberg says when he talks about his life mission and use of Unique Talents.  The key to life is identifying your Unique Talent (excellent and passion about) and applying it in the service to others.  This is an Amazing way to Create Success while living a Happy and Fulfilled live, but it also satisfies this need at an extremely high level.   So...How are you meeting your 6 Core Human Needs?   We strive daily to meet these needs, but remember that our needs can ultimately be met in both constructive and destructive ways…positive and negative ways that will influence and affect our lives.   I believe that most all stress, anxiety, depression, and dysfunctional behavior comes from not filling these needs or filing these needs in a negative way.  The key is to understand yourself and your limiting beliefs that are affecting these core needs.  Find out how your inner beliefs are creating the filter you use to fill these needs on a daily basis.  In other words, how are your daily routines being influenced in a positive or negative way because of the programming you’ve adopted throughout your life.   So, I Encourage You to Ask Yourself these Key Questions: -What are my Top Core Needs? -How am I filling those needs now?  (positive or negative) -What are the beliefs that are driving my needs? -Are these beliefs serving me and my life’s mission? -How are these needs impacting my relationships, business and communication?  -How can I redefine the parameters needed to meet these needs.   Let me give you an example of how Tony Robbins talks about using these 6 core human needs to redefine or increase the quality of your relationships…   Tony Robins says “If you’re in a relationship with somebody and you meet one of their needs, you’re going to have an acquaintance. If you meet two of their needs, you’re going to have a friend. If you meet three of their needs, you’re going to have a deep friendship or love. If you meet four of their needs, it’s going to be a deep love. If you meet five or six of their needs, you’re going to have a love slave. … They ain’t going anywhere. But it’s got to be you meeting their needs, not the other way around.” - Tony Robbins On How To Master Relationships, J.D. Meier   You get the point.  Ultimately, you can seriously impact the quality of “your life” and "others lives" if you will be INTENTIONAL with how you meet the 6 Core Human Needs of Yourself and Others.   I know that if you will take the time to “unpack” what is driving your life, then you will be far more effective in creating change, and you will completely transform your life and business.  But its gonna take a little work.  You must be willing to sit down and go through the motions to understand, identify, redefine and execute on your Core Needs in your life.  If you do this…I promise you will see massive changes in your life.   I appreciate you listening today.  I hope you’ve found some value in this information.  If you have, I encourage you to share this podcast episode with at least one person in your life.  Have an amazing day.   George Wright III

Today I want to finish up our series of Harv Ekers 17 Wealth Files from the Secrets of the Millionaire Mind NYT Best Seller.   I’ll start again (in case you didn't listen to the first 3 in this series) reminding you that we are talking about changing the way you think about things in your life in order to create a new, more abundant, mindset to lead you to success…in every area of your life.   Yes, we are talking in extremes…rich/poor…no, we are not judging rich vs poor…we are simply contrasting things that help you create more success, happiness and wealth into your life.  And just to clear it up for you right now, I 100% believe that you are better off with more money and success in your life.  Money is not good or bad.  Your relationship and view of money can be good or bad, but money itself is a good thing, and you can do much more good with than without it…believe that.   So, let's review how Rich and Successful people think and act and we can dig into the last 6 Wealth Files here today. Review from last 3 episodes: Wealth File #1 Rich people believe “I create my life.” Poor people believe “Life happens to me.”   Wealth File #2 Rich people play the money game to win.  Poor people play the money game to not lose.   Wealth File #3 Rich people are committed to being rich.  Poor people want to be rich.   Wealth File #4 Rich people think big.  Poor people think small.   Wealth File #5 Rich people focus on opportunities.  Poor people focus on obstacles.   Wealth File #6 Rich people admire other rich and successful people.  Poor people resent rich and successful people.   Wealth File #7 Rich people associate with positive, successful people.  Poor people associate with negative or unsuccessful people.   Wealth File #8 Rich people are willing to promote themselves and their value.  Poor people think negatively about selling and promotion.   Wealth File #9 Rich people are bigger than their problems.  Poor people are smaller than their problems.   Wealth File #10 Rich people are excellent receivers.   Poor people are poor receivers.   Wealth File #11 Rich people choose to get paid based on results.  Poor people choose to get paid based on time.   This brings us to the final 6 Wealth Files to cover...   Wealth File #12 Rich people think “both.” Poor people think “either/or.”   I believe this principle is all about Abundant thinking… Do you believe there is abundance in the universe?  Are you willing to choose to believe there is abundance? The reason this is so important is that “abundant thinkers” have opened the world of possibilities and believe that there is a win win available in each situation. They been with solutions rather than focus on the problem.  Therefore they have more opportunity to create solutions, win at the game of life and their filter on life allows this. If you are acting out of scarcity mindset, you believe that for every winner there is a loser.  You believe that there are limited time, resources and opportunities in life.  This is why you might resent others success.  This is why you may blame others for failure and even blame your life, business, and relationships on being a victim of circumstance.   Ultimately, if you will choose to have an abundant mindset, I know that you will create much more success in your life.  You absolutely can have your cake and eat it too.  :)   Wealth File #13 Rich people focus on their net worth. Poor people focus on their working income.   This distinction has been wired into us from birth.  What do you want to do rather than what do you want your life to be like.  What do you make for a living rather than what is your net worth.  We talk about budgets and expenses, but we don’t talk about, track or grow the other “key areas” of true success and net worth.   These other areas, as Harv puts it, are things like Income, Savings, Investments, Simplification…and I would add active and passive income streams.  I would highly encourage you to always be increasing your active income (raising ceiling) while actively growing your passive income through business, investments and residuals.   No you might be saying, “George, I don’t have those other areas and don't know where to start with investing or expanding my business from a “job” to a “passive” income stream.”  Well, it doesn’t matter whether you are currently pursuing a course of action or don’t know where to start…the bottom line is “where focus goes, energy flows”.  I didn’t have these either until I prioritized finding the right ones and learning, growing, networking, and developing them.  That’s why i surround myself with successful people.  That is why you are listening to this podcast.     The point I am trying to make is that you need to prioritize, focus and spend time on your NET WORTH and you will see it grown.  This leads perfectly into the next wealth file.   Wealth File #14 Rich people manage their money well. Poor people mismanage their money well.   If you don’t learn to manage your money well, then your money will always run your life.  Period. Obviously, this means you need to learn to properly budget your money…even if it seems like an overwhelming, boring or tedious task. And, you need to learn to be “frugal” with your money.  I know most people view frugality in a bad way, but I’m saying you need to learn the difference between things that are expenses vs investments.  You need to start “really and sincerely” thinking about if you NEED that new car, watch, lifestyle or you just WANT IT.  When you start to plan an amazing life and start to follow that plan through a filter of frugality, you can create peace of mind, happiness, and amazing levels of success.  This is because we stop “wasting money” to impress people that don’t really care about your lifestyle and wealth in the first place.   A good friend of mine, Bill Danko…who wrote The NYT Best Selling Book The Millionaire Next Door, discussed and showed clearly that it doesn’t take a exorbitant amount of money to create true wealth.  He later went on to write another best seller, called Richer Than a Millionaire, that adds the idea that you can have Wealth and Happiness (which is better than just having wealth).  But, it takes a PLAN.  It takes FRUGALITY.  It takes DISCIPLINE. It takes the CONSCIOUS DECISION to Manage your Money WELL.’   In fact, Bill spoke at a recent High Net Worth Investor Conference we did and he taught me something I hadn’t heard before that leads right into the next wealth file.   Wealth File #15 Rich people have their money work hard for them.  Poor people work hard for their money.   Bill talked about a gentleman named Franco Modigliani, who won the 1985 Noble Prize in Economics.  He won the Noble Prize for his money life-cycle hypothesis.  Basically, he said that through your working years and being Frugal…saving money is important so that you can build wealth…so that you can live comfortably in your non-working years when you are older.  In other words:  wen you are young, you WORK FOR MONEY…when you are old, MONEY WORKS FOR YOU.   The problem is that NO ONE is saving money anymore.  People spend money on dumb stuff that doesnt build wealth just to impress people that dont matter.  Worse yet, they spend money on things to make themselves feel good only to later realize that these things only bring temporary satisfaction and not long term happiness.   I know exactly how that feels and many of us can relate….can you?   Thank you Bill for listening and reminding me of these important principles.   Now, I know this is a long episode so hang in there with me while we approach the finish line cause this stuff is super important.     Wealth File #16 Rich people act in spite of fear. Poor people let fear stop them.   I have adopted and combined a few different mentor teachings on this topic because I feel its important.  Prosperity Pillar # 3 is ACT IN SPITE OF MY MOOD.  Let’s really discuss this for a second because this involves motivation, discipline and most importantly FEAR.  Are you letting fear stop you or is it motivation, discipline or confidence.   Identify WHY and WHAT holds you back.  Without doing this you cannot overcome this mindset.  But, I will highly recommend one particular solution for you to consider….   You will be the average of the 5 people you surround yourself with the most…Belief Transference, Confidence, Motivation, etc.  Got it?   Wealth File #17 Rich people constantly learn and grow. Poor people think they already know.   This one is self explanatory, but let me give you some examples…go through the last couple months of this podcast….   I am constantly learning, growing and developing.  It’s what drives me, creates fulfillment for me and impact.   There is a reason for this…Its one of our 6 CORE HUMAN NEEDS, like Tony Robbins talks about.  I am going to be covering the 6 Core Human Needs from Robbins next week so don’t miss it, but the key to understand here is that if you are not “growing” you are “dying”.  If you are not learning (and think you know it all), you will NEVER BE RICH and SUCCESSFUL…at least not long term. 🙂   I hope you have learned a few things or recommitted yourself to a few areas in your life.   I’d like to ask you a couple favors…. 1-sit down and review these wealth files and commit to implementing them in your life. 2-get a copy of Harv Ekers book and read it.  If you cannot afford a copy then you really need to apply them but call me and I’ll get you one. 3-Please, Please subscribe to this podcast and share it with your friends.  I don’t charge for my time and it takes a ton of time.  I only ask that (if you have received any value) would you please share and get this message out past our thousands of current subscribers.   Thank again for listening today.  Have an Amazing Weekend.   George Wright III
