The Daily Mastermind

I came across a recent article by Leo Babauta on the Zen Habits website and I felt is was very applicable to our focus this week on Daily Rituals.  So, I wanted to share parts of it with you today.  I hope you enjoy the Value Bombs in this... ... From Leo Babauta… Before I started Zen Habits, I was in a place in my life where I had a beautiful family, but I was stuck and dissatisfied with myself. I knew I wanted to change things — my health, finances, job, way that I was approaching life — but I didn’t really know what I wanted to do about any of it. Most of the time, I just ignored all of this, and distracted myself. I didn’t have any clarity on what I wanted or what I needed to do. This lack of clarity is felt in all of us very deeply, so that it shows up in how we talk, how we hold ourselves, how other people feel us. It affects our relationships, our jobs, our health. Then I got very clear that I needed to change. And clear that I wanted to quit smoking, start running, become vegetarian, start waking earlier, and start writing more. I went on to do all those and more. Clarity helps us to focus, to take action, to feel energized. A lack of clarity causes stress, inaction, a scattered focus, relationship difficulties, confusion on teams. Some examples of areas to find clarity in:

• Your mission in life
• Your morning routine
• Your financial plan
• What you need to do to improve your relationship
• How you’ll get healthier
• What others expect of you; what you expect of them
• How a meeting will be run
• What your boundaries are in each relationship

As you can see, this is a pretty broad topic — it can apply to every part of our lives. And we don’t have to be perfect, and we don’t have to get clarity on everything this week. It’s something to bring awareness to, that we can improve over time. But the more we find clarity, the more we’ll have focus, calm, motivation. How to Get Clarity OK, great … we want to get clarity in our lives … how do we do that? I’ll share some things I’ve learned for finding clarity:

1. Create some space. When we’re unclear on something (how we should reach a goal, for example) … most often we put it off instead of getting any clarity. Instead, try creating some space to get clarity. Carve out an hour. Half a day. A weekend. (Depending on how big the thing is that you need clarity on.) Then do the things below. But carve out the space.
2. Journal, iterate. Write about what you need clarity on — it doesn’t have to be any solid answers, or any kind of coherent writing. Just let your thoughts pour out. Stream of consciousness. Just give yourself space to reflect.
3. Meditate & contemplate. Similarly, you can go out in nature and spend some time in solitude. Go for a walk. Sit on a rock. Meditate. See what comes up for you. Hold one question in your mind: “What do I want here?” Or something like that. See if anything emerges as you hold the question.
4. Talk to others. Share your thoughts with others. Share what you’re not sure about. What you’re afraid of. Hear their thoughts. Just the act of talking it out is valuable — you’re giving space for your thoughts and feelings, and having them heard. Often you can get clarity from a good conversation.
5. When you have a little clarity, write it down. If you have some kind of answer, any kind of clarity at all, write it down as simply as you can. Two sentences. Putting it down simply helps it become more clear. And then you can start to take action on it.
6. Take action to get clarity. Many people think they need to have clarity before they take action, but it often happens the other way around. Have the slightest bit of direction? Go in that direction, take the first steps, see what it’s like. You’ll learn more from doing than going back and forth on things. For example, as I started working on my mission, I got clearer and clearer that this is what was meaningful for me, but I also got clearer on how I’d go about doing it. Maybe in a couple years, I’ll have even more clarity, but I’m not going to wait for that in order to take action. Start moving, and learn from that.
7. Reflect after you take action & get clearer. As you set things in motion, it’s useful to step back every month or two to see how things are going. What have you learned? What’s getting in the way? Use what you’ve learned to get even more clarity. Write it down simply. Take action again.

And repeat.  What areas of your life need clarity? How is the lack of clarity affecting you and those around you? Are you ready to create the space to get the clarity? ... These are great questions to ask yourself.  I truly believe that clarity is a key to creating a Plan and a Path that will lead you to success.  I have struggled with clarity at times in my life. But every time I refocus and reclarify my goals and objectives, I have seen drastic increases in my productivity, happiness and results I was looking for.  Its my hope that this article and this discussion today will help you to become aware and help you clarify your vision for your life. After all…Its never too late to start living the life you were meant to live. Have an Amazing Day. George Wright III

Let's face it...one of our biggest obstacles to our success is our own minds. Do you ever feel like you are constantly having conversations with yourself (inside your head)?  I definitely do, and sometimes these thoughts and conversations  are pretty stressful.  But I’ve learned that the minute you realize that you are not your mind, then you become empowered to make some changes in your life.  You have to remember that you are NOT your mind. Your mind is simply a tool.  But, that tool (left unmanaged) can work against you as much as help you.   Research shows that most of us have up to 60,000 per day, and I can tell you from experience that most of those thoughts are unproductive and unmanaged.  That is the primary reason that I started to meditate.     Meditation is the #1 way I have learned to manage my thoughts and become more productive with my life.  Now full disclosure, I am definitely NOT an expert on meditation, but I would love to share some thoughts, tips and ideas with you that might help you to benefit from meditation like I have.   So, Why Should You and I Start Meditating? Meditation has been proven over time to create amazing to those that choose to practice it regularly.  It is not just an ambiguous or hyped up thing?   Here are just a few of the benefits you might receive from meditating:

• Less Stress & Anxiety
• Better Quality of Sleep
• Better Health & Vitality
• Increased Productivity
• Focused on Present Moment
• Increased Quality of Life

  Bottom line...there are so many benefits that high highly recommend you start some form of meditation.   What the Difference between Meditation and Mindfulness? When I first started meditating, I did a ton of research.  I started to realize that there were many different styles, techniques and trainings for meditation.  However, one of the main distinctions I found was there was a difference between Mindfulness and Meditation, and they both serve a purpose.   Mindfulness is the practice of learning to focus on the present moment.  You can do this by focusing on your breath or a stationary object or simple noticing your 5 senses.  Mindfulness is also something that you can practice throughout your day, and will definitely help you to enjoy life more.   Meditation is the process of “letting go”.  It involves learning to take your mind and body into a different state of consciousness where your and mind and body can get super creative and productive in healing, relaxing or producing results in many areas of your life.  It can be described as a 4th state of consciousness that is not waking, sleeping or dreaming.     Just knowing the difference in these two things helped me to get started, and I hope you will take the time to research a bit on your own as well.   Here are some Tips, Strategies and Techniques that might Help You…

• Start with Just a Couple Minutes- It might sound simple but staying consistent is important so just start with a few minutes and increase it over time.
• Do it First Thing in the Morning- If you start your day with meditation you will set yourself up for success and will always get your meditation in each day.
• Don’t Worry about How you Feel- You don’t have to be in the mood to meditate.  Like working out, you are meditating for the benefits and not because you need it in the moment.
• Find a Quiet Place- When you start I think its important to find a quiet place and minimize distractions to set yourself up for success.
• Start by Breathing or Counting Breath- You can start meditating by simply closing your eyes and focusing on or counting your breaths.  
• Do a Body Scan- Another relaxing technique is to simply close your eyes and notice, relax and focus on one specific body part at a time.  Start at your toes and slowly work your way up your body till you get to the top of your head. 
• Notice the Senses- Your mind cannot normally focus on too many things at once, so when I have been stressed I will sometimes close my eyes and notice all 5 senses to distract my mind.  Try this one for sure.
• Don’t Worry about Technique- Please don’t worry too much about what Style, Technique or Practice you start.  This will keep you from Starting a Practice.
• Notice Distractions and Simply Refocus- When you become distracting with random thoughts (and you will), simply notice the thoughts and bring your attention back to focus…no worries.
• Follow Guided Meditation if Needed- Sometimes it helps to use a guided meditation or one with music and sounds of nature.  We have many of these for free inside the Daily Mastermind Mobile app you can use.
• Take a Course- There are also a ton of free ebooks, courses, and mobile apps you can use for meditation.  Take the time to find resources that work for you.
• Make Upfront Commitment- Most importantly, I encourage you to make decision and a commitment UPFRONT to start and stay with a meditation practice.

  Those are just a few ideas and lessons I’ve learned over the years, so I hope they help you.  Now let me give you a few of my favorite resources and people I feel you can look into for more information and help with meditation.   Resources for Meditation Success   The Daily Mastermind Mobile App- the mobile app has many different FREE meditations that you can use on the go.  There are tabs for guided, unguided, affirmations, sounds of nature and 10 min or 30 minute sessions.   Calm or Headspace Mobile Apps- these two mobile apps are the most popular and they both have free or lite versions.  They also have short 7 days introductory courses on how to meditate you can use to get started.   Wayne Dyer- I love Wayne’s approach to meditation and he has tons of audios, books and stuff online I encourage you to research and use.   ZenHabits.net- this website blog is a very simple, practical source that I read from time to time on subjects of Meditation, Lifestyle and Simplifying my life.   Zivameditation.com- Emily Fletcher is an expert on Meditation and really simplifies that concept of Mindfulness, Meditation, and Manifestation.  I have benefited from your courses a bunch.   Transcendental Meditation- This is probably the most popular form of meditation and many experts, celebrities and people I know have benefited from this type of meditation.  It is a type of meditation that offers courses locally around the country and involves the use of a mantra that you repeat while meditating to stay focused on clearing your mind.  Check it out.   Anyway, that is my basic thoughts, ideas and tips for you with meditation.  Overall, I feel like you can really talk your Daily Rituals and Your Life to a whole new level if you start a DAILY practice of meditation, and its my hope that you will Try this or expand your current knowledge of meditation to increase your Quality of Life.   Until tomorrow, thanks for reading and have an amazing day.   George Wright III

Daily Rituals for Success Last week I gave you some of my recommendations for daily rituals like books, podcasts, and mobile app.  But this week I’d like to dig a bit deeper into daily rituals and give you some ideas and thoughts that might help you to create a winning formula for success on a daily basis.  I hope you will take these tips and ideas and make them your own.  Find a way to spend time planning out your daily rituals, because you can really level up with the right plan for your day.   Setup Yourself Up for Success The most important thing you need to realize with daily rituals is that you must set yourself up for success, or your rituals will become a source of frustration and disappointment.  We have all had big aspirations when we set a new goal or new years resolution.  We have also experienced the disappointment when we dont follow through due to circumstances outside our control of due to a lack of motivation or will power.  So, its critically important that you set yourself up “in advance of each day” to make it easy to follow through on your rituals.   Alexander Graham Bell Said, “Before anything else, Preparation is the key to success.” You can set yourself up for success by preparing the night before, scheduling your rituals into your day, and even making sure the time of day is the most likely time to eliminate distractions.  Also, keep in mind that starting your day with rituals is preferred in order to get you moving on the right path, but you should schedule time for your rituals when you are at your “best” in order to be most effective.  Many times you will have routines and ritual that you do throughout the day.   I personally begin my day with morning rituals and end my day with a different set of evening rituals.  This helps me to start my day out right and also end my day by winding down.  The I do this, it allows me to create more energy in the morning and relax for better sleep in the evening.   Choose the Right Rituals The next thing you will want to do is choose the rituals that are best for you.  Each of us struggle with different things in our lives, and I always try to create daily rituals that will help me to overcome challenges I have, as well as build up my strengths and motivation in key areas of my life.  You can create daily rituals in all areas of your life, including but not limited to your Mind, Body, Spirit, Relationships, Finances, Business, Investing, or Lifestyle.  Create rituals in areas of your life you feel you might need the most help in or will help benefit you the most.  Ultimately I feel your Daily Rituals should Motivate, Inspire or Educate you so that you can Create a Better Life.   Here are just a few example of Daily Rituals you could choose that I have personally benefited from over the years….

• Prayer
• Meditation
• Affirmations
• Workouts
• Reading eBooks 
• Listening to Audiobooks
• Listening to Podcasts
• Nutrition & Supplements
• Family Time
• Gratitude Practice
• Journaling
• Studying or Education
• Date Night
• Music
• Sleep

One more important thing I want to mention.  Try to create a short list of rituals that align with your goals and objectives in your life.  If you need to acquire a new skill maybe add that to your day.  Or, if you are like me and don't enjoy getting up in the morning, then an early morning workout is exactly what you need to get your body moving each day.   Quality and Consistency over Quantity Remember the goal is to create rituals that help you in your life to stay on track and create healthy habits.  Its more important to have just a few key rituals that you do consistently, than to have big list of rituals that you never seem to get done.  I used to make a list to accomplish a ton of items each day.  I wanted to make sure I crossed off the boxes in every single area of my life.  But, I found that having a short list of 3-5 rituals in the morning and 3-5 rituals in the evening is the best for me. I have stayed far more consistent with a couple of core things to focus on and stay consistent with.     I like what Tim Ferris say when he said that he has 3-5 rituals on his list, but considers it a “win” if he just a few of them done.  Don’t overwhelm yourself with a long list of items.     Remember, Consist Effort is the Key to Success in Life… So many people start out trying to do anything and everything they can do to make change in their lives.  But, they dont stay consistent.  They don't stay consistent because they burn out and they don't find a way to make their goals and desires a part of their everyday life.  You need to create ritual that are part of your lifestyle and then you will be far more consistent for the long term.   Make it a Routine If you make your rituals part of your daily routine, you will create strong habits that will last a lifetime.  Plus, you will also have a structure to guide you through your day.  Let me give you some examples of what I mean…   I always workout first in the morning in order to get the blood flowing and get my mind awake.  I’ve tried to study or meditate first in the morning, but I just think better (therefore more productive) when I meditate after a workout.  Also, I always find that I can get far more accomplished (in less time) if I get my blood flowing first and then move on to other items on my list.   Another example is that I like to journal and read at night, because it helps me to wind down my mind for better sleep.  Now this doesnt always work cause my mind almost never shuts off.  But, when I journal at night, I can recognize my accomplishment or reflect on what I am grateful for and it helps me to acknowledge that I am moving forward and I can relax more.  So, find ways to place your rituals in your “daily routine” so that you accomplish more and it also helps guide you through your day better.   Create Accountability I want to talk with you about creating more accountability in your daily rituals for a few different reasons.  First, having some accountability will help you maintain your consistent until it becomes a habit.  Second, having accountability will help to motivate you when you are not “feeling it”.  Finally, having accountability is a way for you to openly commit to yoru rituals rather than keep them to yourself.  You see, many of us don’t want people to know that we are committed to our goals and dreams of creating success, losing weight, learning a new skill, because we are afraid of what people will say if we fail.    Guess what?  Who cares what other people think.  Having daily rituals if for YOUR benefit, so find a way to hold yourself accountable so that you WILL follow through and you WILL have more success in your life.  Rituals are not a contest and there is no such thing as Success or Failure with your rituals.  Its only about creating habits for success while Living Your Best Life…Period   Track Your Rituals With that said, I do feel it can be important to track your daily rituals.  You’ve heard it before and I’ll continue to say it…   What you focus on Grows.  And what you Track you will Focus On.   So, grab yourself a planner or a notebook, and start to record your rituals.  You can even use your Mobile Device by just keeping track in your NOTES app.  There are also plenty of mobile apps you can use like the Strides App for setting goals and lists each day.  Most of the mobile apps I use for rituals also send me reminders and track my progress or “streaks” for how many days in a row I’ve been consistent.  Apps like I mentioned last week are great for that.  (Calm meditation, Day One journal, Daily Mastermind, Audible, etc.)   Make Adjustments Also, do your best to create a routine but not get to a point where you are on autopilot.  Take time once per week to identify if you are making progress toward your goals or if maybe you are hitting a plateau with your workouts and learning.  Always make sure to create adjustments in your rituals, your routine, and your daily activities if you are not making the progress you desire.  It's great to create, track and maintain daily rituals, but you want to make sure that they are helping you to accomplish your goals and desires.   Create a Win I have one last thing that I want to talk to you about with this topic of daily rituals, and that is this…   Have patience with yourself.  It's not a contest.  Don’t let your rituals become a source of frustration or disappointment.  I used to really get down on myself when I didn't make it to the gym or forgot to write in my journal.  Rituals are there to help you to become the best version of yourself, not to help you become more critical of yourself.  This is HUGE.   Ultimately, if you are able to do even a couple of your rituals each day I encourage you to Mark it a Win in the Win Column of Your life.  Your Goal each day is to Create a Win for yourself.  The more wins you create the better you will feel, The more confidence and self esteem you will have, and The more you will Develop into the BEST VERSION of YOU.   George Wright III

If you are a passion-driven Entrepreneur like me, you probably deal with stress, anxiety or even depression at times. These are really difficult periods in your life and can ultimately affect you and the people around you. So, one of the best way I’ve found to deal with this is by creating structure and routine in your life. 

Sometimes we need that structure to "Power Us" through the times that our discipline fades...and everyone has times their motivation and discipline fades…trust me when i say Everyone. :)

I learned a long time ago that Your Routine will keep you moving forward towards your goals and help you to navigate these rough times. 

This is why I CREATE DAILY RITUALS.

(Hopefully u noticed the all caps of that statement which is prosperity pillar #10).

I want to encourage you to maintain a schedule and routine long enough that it will become automatic and more of a habit for you, so you won’t need to rely as much on motivation. Creating positive HABITS is an important benefit of long term application of your Daily Rituals. 

But here is one additional Secret I have also found that has helped me the most.....

You Must Create Structure, Tools, and Resources that make it easier to stay consistent with your daily rituals, otherwise your routine goes out the window when your motivation does. 

I’ve been asked many times about my daily routine and rituals, and I will cover that in more detail next week. But, I’d like to just share with you just a few recommendations of Books, Mobile Apps, and Podcasts I currently use as a foundation (for me) on a daily basis. Then, next week I will dig in deeper to my routine and ideas I have for you to Power Through your difficult days. 

Here are just a few of the key resources I use on a Daily basis:

Books

Successful people are constantly reading.  I like to listen to audio books when I work out or want to unwind for the day.  But, I highly recommend you actually take time to sit in a quiet place and read physical books as well.  It helps you to stay grounded in the present moment and you retain much more information when you do read a book.  Here are just a few of my recent favorites:

 

• Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill- this book will always have hidden secrets and treasures and you can never read it too often.

• The Happiness Equation by Neil Pasricha- this book really has opened my eyes to ways you can really increase your happiness levels.
• High Performance Habits by Brendon Burchard- this book has a very simple and effective way to increase your productivity and focus.

Mobile Apps

Let's face it, we are on our mobile devices all the time.  So, you might as well make sure this tool is a force for positive influence in your life right? Her are a couple of key apps I use right on my home screen, and they have both Free and Versions:

• Calm Meditation App- this app has amazing for reminding me to take a minute and relax, focus, and breath when I am grinding the the long days of building a business.  I have really started to use the Sleep Meditations and Stories when I (like I’m sure you have) nights I cannot get my brain to shut down and allow me to sleep.  Works every time.

• Day One Journal App- writing in my journal has been a key daily ritual for me.  I can track my moods, memories and accomplishments. After all, “A life worth living is a life worth recording”, says my partner Robert Stuberg.  This app will even send me reminders to enter a quick thought throughout my day.
• Audible Audiobook App- I love audible because I find it helpful to also listen to fiction and or current event books while I workout or exercise.  I used to always just read business, investing, and success books.  But, I’ve found over time that my mind is much healthier when I shift it to the creative, right-side on occasions, and it allows me to be much more relevant and personable when having conversations with friends, family and partners.

Podcast

If you open up the Podcast app on my mobile phone you will see quite a diversity of podcasts because I listen to various experts depending on my mood or learning needs at the time.  I highly recommend occasionally searching new podcasts so you dont get too routine or isolated in the type of people you listen too.  But, here are a few of the core podcasts I consistently listen too:

• The Gary Vee Audio Experience with Gary Vaynerchuk- this give me motivation, business nuggets and a kick in the butt when I need it.  Plus, I really enjoy the variety of this podcast with speaking events, meetings, interviews or community questions Gary uses.
• The Mike Dillard Podcast with Mike Dillard- Mike will consistently deliver solid business and personal content that I use in my business and he is always interviewing Proven, Successful People on practical things you can use in business.
• The Ed Mylett Show with Ed Mylett- this podcast also give em constant motivation and inspiration while delivering a massive amount of content and value.  Plus, Ed interviews a wide variety of speakers, athletes, and experts in business, health, and happiness.  I relate to a lot of the experiences and business that are discussed on this show.
• Joel Osteen Podcast- a week doesn't go by that I don't tune into the inspirational and  important messages that Joel and Victoria offer their listening audience.  I met Joel one time at an Exclusive Resort I was staying at, and I cannot tell you how genuine, happy, and selfless this guy is in real life.  He truly made me feel like he cared and didn't even know me at the time. 
• The Brain Warrior’s Way with Dr Daniel & Tana Amen- this is a very short and sweet podcast that literally explains the science about why your Brain is the most important tool that affect your health, wealth and happiness.  I needed to really learn that my BRAIN is not my MIND but it definitely is a tool for me to use in achieving success.  Dr Amen constantly gives strategies, tips, nutrition, and many many other golden nuggets for success in winning the “Battle of Your Mind”.

And Finally…(shameless plus)…I highly recommend the Free Daily Mastermind Mobile app on iTunes and Google Play.

I literally created this app for myself and the people i care about.  It is totally free and has more resources on it than anything in the entire industry of Personal Development and Financial Education.

Here is just a few of the Free Resources available on the Daily Mastermind App:

• Daily Rituals Tracker and Accountability Tab
• Daily Mastermind Podcast Tab
• Daily G Blog and Articles Tab
• Daily Quotes with Pics and Sharable Thoughts Tab
• Meditation Audios
• Affirmations Poster with Prosperity Pillars
• eBooks
• Audiobooks
• Journal Notes
• Videos, Gallery for Dream Building, and more to come...

I hope some of these resources help you and tune in with me next week as I uncover some of the learning curve I’ve gone through to find the right routine and right success factors with my rituals each week. 

Have a great weekend.

Quote of the Day… Failure is Success if We learn from it…Malcom Forbes   Most of my life I have heard the phrase, “Success is a journey not a destination”.   This has always been difficult for a passionate and driven entrepreneur like myself to understand.   Sure, I have adopted and heard all the statements and thoughts that are continuously kicked around.  Thoughts like:  

• learn to enjoy the ride
• find joy in the process not just the end goal
• focus on the little things because one day they will become the big things in life

  But, I have also found that the the end GOAL is what motivates me the most.  The reward, recognition and personal satisfaction of achieving more has been the best driver of actions and results in my life.   So, its been difficult to reconcile how to continue to Dreambuild and Create a Vision of the future, while finding a way to create Passion for the Present Moment and the “Process” in the meantime.   Maybe you struggle with this as well.  After all, I have even promoted the statement...   Don’t let Your Vision of the Future Rob you of the Joys of the Present Moment.   But just the other day I heard a Thought on another Podcast that really rang home for me on this topic, and I wanted to share it with you today.   The thought was this….BECOME OBSESSED WITH THE PATH.   It was just a slight variation of the idea that we should enjoy the process but it got me thinking about a way to truly become Obsessed, Passionate, and Focused on the PATH as much as the End Goal.   Rather than just becoming grateful for the process or finding ways to motivate myself to enjoy the road to new levels of success…   I think a real key for you and I is to actually “build a process” that we can become Obsessed with.  This requires us to be intentional with our focus and focused with our intent.     Looking back I believe there have been many times I have unconsciously created a Path that I could become obsessed with in my life and business, and that has almost always lead me to massive levels fo success.     What I am focused on doing now, and I recommend you do as well, is to “Consciously” build a path that you can become passionate about while achieving your end goals.     There are always many ways to create a result.  What I am suggesting is that you personally craft a Path that you CAN BECOME PASSIONATE AND OBSESSED WITH to get to your goal.   So, How do you do this.  Well, my experience has show me that it requires several key ingredients and then structure and discipline along with it. After all, Creating your best life is going to require a Game plan.   Here are a few suggestions that I have for you:   1-Make sure your path is aligned with your Unique Talent.  This is focusing your activities around what you are "Excellent at" and "Passionate about.”   Too many of us are working a job or running a business we simply dont enjoy or we are not excellent at…just to make a check.   2-Make sure your end goal or vision is in alignment with your actual talents.     It doesn't make sense to create success or opportunity in an area that you ultimately don't want to end up doing long term.  If you do, despite the money and opportunity, your subconcious mind and your heart will constantly be working against you.     I had this happen in several businesses that I made an incredible income with but ultimately was not happy running or being a part of.  Not because they weren’t legitimately helping other people, but because i was not ultimately passionate about the business itself.   Also, I think it is important to also mention a few critical factors you need to add to your Path in order to truly become Obsessed and Successful along the way.  

• create extreme structure and discipline in your daily schedule
• create firm accountability and feedback from mentors
• create detailed tracking and reporting of key performance indicators
• create periodic evaluations of your results
• create a community, mastermind, or inner circle that aligns with your vision
• create incentives and rewards for yourself along the way to success

  When you include these disciplines in your path and daily processes, it helps you to relax and focus more on the present moment because you have a plan and you are tracking all the key areas of your business.   Most of us are constantly trying to stay on top of too much in our life and business.  Put processes, indicators and structure in place you that you can remove the pressure of your entire life and focus more on the tasks at hand or the people you are with in the moment.   It is my wish for you that you can begin to start creating and living the life you were meant to live by helping you to consciously create a PATH that you can become Obsessed and Passionate about.   I hope my thoughts will help you to do that.  They are definitely helping me.   Check out the Daily Mastermind FREE Mobile app on itunes and android.  Download it today.

Happy Monday.  Thanks for tuning in.

Today I want to talk with you about Prosperity Pillar #9 which is, I Am Committed to Life-Long Learning.

I really want to dig into helping you to start focusing your learning into areas that you can apply in your business, relationships and personal life.  You must learn to tie your learning to a measurable objective that will help create the life you want or you are just learning for learning sake.  And this is not something I recommend.  :)

Plus, I want to share with you my best methods of learning and development that I do each and everyday.

Thanks for listening and share this episode with someone you feel might benefit from it.

George Wright III

Good Morning...

I hope you had an amazing weekend.  Today we are going to be talking about Prosperity Pillar #8...I Always Think Win Win.

Many people think that creating a win win is some form of sales, negotiating or business strategy.  Maybe it is to a degree, but I am talking about something a little different today.  I would like to share with you some of my thoughts on how to shift your thinking and how to create an abundant mindset.  

In order to truly create a win win in your life, business and relationships, you must first come from a place of abundance.  You will never create positive from focusing on the problem or coming from a place of scarcity.

I hope you enjoy todays episode and I appreciate you listening.

Today I'd like to share some thoughts and ideas from Joel Osteen and his book, "Every Day a Friday...How to be happier 7 days a week".  

I had the privilege of meeting Joel Osteen a couple of times, and I truly believe he is a great example of Happiness and focus on creating a great life.  His message in his books and podcasts are consistently about overcoming obstacles and challenges in your life.  However, they are always laced with the understanding and commitment to happiness, gratitude and creating an amazing life of fulfillment and purpose.

I hope you enjoy these thoughts today.  Have an amazing weekend.  Thanks for listening and for sharing this podcast.

Yesterday we talked about The Happiness Equation (book) -we talked about 7 ways to be happy right now   But I want to get super practical with you right now…. This is episode where you want to take notes…   See, often times we get in a place where we sorta feel STUCK…WHERE DO WE START -we might be working on all the right things, but we really just need a “hard reset"   So today I want to give you a very tangible strategy for SELF ASSESSMENT and PRACTICAL RESULTS   There have been many times in my life when I have been overwhelmed or even STUCK   Its in these times that my mentor, and now partner, Robert Stuberg would sit me down and refer me back to something he calls the PEARL constellation. -I’ve mentioned this on an episode about a year ago, but I feel its time to revisit it for you.   First let me give you a little context….   Robert talks about how for many years he was trying to develop a formula for “navigating through life”…following the path for success… -this is something we need when we are maybe not making the “process we’d like to make” -we need something to “guide us”, like Milestones or a Compass so to speak   Well Robert came up with 5 words that I believe really encompass the essence of the life we are hoping to experience and he has proven through mentoring thousands of people to be a huge benefit when we are needing direction or focus in life….leading us to ultimate happiness….   The words form an acronym called PEARL.  P…E…A…R…L… P…Philosophy E…Emotions A…Activity R…Results L…Lifestyle   If you are not getting the Results, Happiness, or Progress you want in life I know that going through these 5 times, like Robert did with me, will help you to RECALIBRATE your life and get back on track.     I am going to go through these 5 areas and I recommend you do a self assessment of the areas by rating yourself, now and in the future on a scale from 1-10 in each area.  This will help you to determine where you need to adjust your course, priorities and focus.   What I’m going to do is read from something that Robert Put together called the LIFEHANDBOOK…I’ll give you more on this later but for now, I want to go through these areas in “his words not my own” so you will get the REAL and AUTHENTIC Message behind each area...   Ask Yourself the following Questions… 1-What do I believe about myself or about life that isn’t true? (Philosophy) reference life handbook  2-What am I feeling that I don’t want to feel? (Emotions) reference life handbook  3-What am I doing that I don’t want to do? (Activity) reference life handbook  4-What am I getting or not getting in my life compared to what I want to get? (Results) reference life handbook  5-How am I living my life on a daily basis compared to how I want to live? (Lifestyle) reference life handbook    These are the 5 areas that I believe you can continuously work on, track and progress in to create happiness in your life.  Once again they are the The PEARL Constellation, by Robert Stuberg…   I encourage you to take a moment and go back through this podcast to really dig deep into these 5 areas. I promise that if you do, you will find areas to adjust and refocus in your life and you will ultimately get back on track,  unstuck and create a better version of yourself…   Life I always say…It’s never to late to start living the life you were meant to live and create the best version of yourself on a day to do basis.   That’s my message for today and I look forward to talking with you more tomorrow….
