I want to talk about how to become obsessed with your goals.

Why Should We Become Obsessed With Our Goals?

It might sound a little intense, but Grant Cardone puts it best: "I suggest that you become obsessed about the things you want. Otherwise, you're going to spend a lifetime making up excuses as to why you didn’t get the life that you wanted." Essentially, you either become obsessed with your goals and move forward in the life you want, or you'll dwell on excuses for why you didn't live the life you desire 

PROBLEM. You say you want something…but your actions…

According to Robert Kiyosaki, "For many people, the power of their excuse is more powerful than their dreams." Life is coming at you full speed, and the challenges, problems, and excuses we face can often seem bigger than our dreams.

Therefore, you must create reasons and goals that are bigger than your obstacles. Harv Eker summarizes it well: "You can have reasons, or you can have results. You can't have both."

Making Your Goals a Must

Robert Stuberg, a mentor of mine, often talks about how the real solution to creating an obsession with your goals is to make them a must. To live the life you dream of and achieve the goals you set, you must prioritize them above everything else.

So, how do we do this? How do we make our priorities non-negotiable?

Steps to Become Obsessed with Your Goals

1.     Be Specific The biggest challenge most of us face is not knowing exactly what we want. It's super important to be very specific about your desires. Do you want more money? A better life? Improved relationships? A nicer car? What exactly do you want? What type of freedom with your time do you desire? Be clear about the specifics of your goals; specificity is the first step to achieving them 

2.     Make Commitments Once you know exactly what you want, you gotta commit to achieving it. You have to be ready to sacrifice something in order to get it. If you're not specific about what you want or the sacrifices you're willing to make, you won't get any closer to becoming obsessed with your goals.

3.     Create Time in Your Day Allocate specific time every day to focus and concentrate on your goals. This daily focus is crucial because it helps you continually visualize your goals 

4.     Visualization The mind works in mysterious ways. The clearer and more real your goals become in your mind, the more doable they seem. Spend time every day visualizing your goals. The clearer you are about what you want, the more real it feels, and the more you want it. This visualization helps you become obsessed with your goals.

5.     Daily Rituals Establish daily rituals that remind you of your goals. This can be as simple as looking at your goals, writing them down every day, or repeating specific affirmations like "I am going to be successful." Consistency in these rituals reinforces your goals and helps your subconscious mind work towards achieving the 

6.     Be Relentless and Never Give Up Relentlessly pursue your goals. Never give up. The more you pursue your goals every day, the more obsessed and focused you become on achieving them. RESOLVE

7.     Don't Settle One of the biggest pitfalls is settling for less. As you encounter challenges and roadblocks, it's easy to think about settling. However, settling is the enemy of greatness. Don't settle for anything less than what you truly want in your life 

If you these steps, you will become obsessed with your goals, and as a result, you will get what you want. 

Thanks for listening

Welcome back to The Daily Mastermind. This Monday morning, I want to dive into a topic that aligns perfectly with the start of a new week: Mindset. As a firm believer in the power of mindset, I find Mondays the perfect time to recalibrate and set our intentions for the days ahead.   Today, we’re going to talk about how you can begin living your destiny right now. If you’ve been following along, you know that we've been discussing various lessons from one of my mentors, Robert Stuberg, and his program called "Creating Your Ultimate Destiny." This program outlines 12 specific steps or resources on how to create your ultimate destiny.   The Quote of the Day Before we get into the nitty-gritty, let’s start with the quote of the day. Denzel Washington said, "If you don't fail, you're not even trying."   I believe this quote is incredibly powerful because it inspires us to take action, regardless of the outcome. Often, we find ourselves overthinking our goals and desires without taking the necessary steps to achieve them. Failure is not the enemy; inaction is.   So, What Is Your Ultimate Destiny? Last Monday, we talked about the concept of destiny and how it’s essentially what you want it to be. Your destiny is shaped by your beliefs, and these beliefs are formed through your life experiences. While you can't always control the events in your life, you can control the meaning you assign to them. Ultimately your thoughts and beliefs shape your experiences.   Why You Shouldn't Pursue Happiness One key takeaway from last week is that you shouldn’t chase happiness directly. Instead, pursue your destiny by becoming the person you want to be, achieving the results you aspire to, and contributing to the well-being of others. True happiness comes as a byproduct of living your destiny.   Living Your Destiny Now Let’s move forward to today’s focus: How do you start living your destiny now? It all comes down to your decisions. St. Thomas Aquinas once said: Three things are necessary for the salvation of a man: To know what he ought to believe, to know what he ought to desire, and to know what he ought to do. This quote is a great Segway into our topic. Your decisions will enable you to live your destiny in the present moment. Here are four simple steps to help you define and act on your destiny:

Challenges While Living Your Destiny While the steps are straightforward, challenges will arise. Here are a few you might encounter:

Keep Moving Forward It’s important not to get complacent. Happiness and destiny are ongoing journeys, not destinations. Focus on doing what you love daily. Engage in activities aligned with your unique talents and passions.   Reflect and Plan Think about experiences in hindsight that you would have handled differently. Use these reflections to better align your daily actions with your ultimate destiny.

A Weekly Challenge for You This week, I challenge you to identify what you truly want in life and find ways to incorporate those desires into your daily routine. How can you add more fun and passion into your day to day activities? Whatever it is, take action now.   Thank you for joining me today. I hope this message inspires you to take steps towards living your destiny right now. Don’t forget to share this post with others to spread this critical message. Also, I’d love to hear your thoughts and what you're up to, so connect with me on The Daily Mastermind on Instagram, Facebook, or through my email in the show notes. Have an amazing day! George Wright III

Over the past 25 years, I have developed the 12 Prosperity Pillars, principles I believe are essential for achieving true success. One of the most challenging yet crucial pillars is "I take personal responsibility." Many people struggle with this concept, but it is fundamental to creating the life you truly desire.

Taking responsibility means recognizing that everything you've accomplished in life is a result of your actions. This realization is empowering because it puts you in control of your destiny. Taking responsibility does not involve assigning blame but rather positioning yourself as the architect of your life.

Today, I want to share an enlightening message from Darren Hardy. His perspective on personal responsibility is powerful and can provide you with the insight needed to take control of your life.

"You are the center of your universe. The rest of the world reacts and responds to you." This philosophy changed Darren's life when he encountered it at 18 during a seminar. The lecturer's lesson was clear: the shared percentage of making any relationship work is not 50-50 or even 80-20, but 100-0. Only by taking full responsibility for the betterment of relationships will they truly work.

This idea extends beyond relationships to every aspect of life. Darren emphasizes that we are responsible for everything in our lives, whether directly caused by our actions or by our reactions to external events. This understanding is liberating because it shifts our focus to what we can control – our responses and personal growth.

Darren illustrates that the various aspects of our lives are reflections of ourselves. Our relationships, bank accounts, and health mirror our internal state. For instance, people with fluctuating financial situations often lack the personal development needed to maintain wealth. The same applies to health – true and lasting change comes from within.

Jim Rohn once said, "Your income seldom exceeds one's level of personal development." This highlights the importance of focusing on personal growth to improve other areas of life. Money, health, and success will always revert to the level of your personal development.

One of the most inspiring messages Darren shares is that all external improvements come from internal growth. Whether it's achieving financial stability or better health, the focus should always be on improving oneself. Personal development is the key to unlocking and sustaining success in every area of life.

Using the example of lottery winners, Darren explains why many people who suddenly acquire immense wealth often lose it quickly. Our financial status is a reflection of our personal development. Money will always "meet you where you're at." To sustainably grow wealth, one must develop the stewardship, attitudes, behaviors, and habits to manage it effectively.

Similarly, health issues often stem from internal struggles rather than external conditions. Many people attempt to resolve health problems by focusing on symptoms rather than addressing the underlying causes. Personal development plays a significant role here as well, with health often being a visible manifestation of one's internal state.

Taking personal responsibility is a powerful concept that can drastically change your life. Realizing that you are the source of your outcomes provides a profound sense of empowerment. Focus on personal development, and watch as every aspect of your life improves. It's never too late to start living the life you were meant to live.

Remember, the power to choose your destiny lies within you. Share this message, embrace the journey of self-improvement, and you will see transformative results. Thank you for tuning in, and I look forward to connecting with you again tomorrow!

Embrace the Power of Mindset

I'm going to spend today (liek most mondays) talking about your mindset.  

Over the next 12 weeks (on mondays) I'm going to take you through a program called "Creating Your Ultimate Destiny," written by my mentor by Robert Stueberg. I found a lot of value in this program while building my education company, and I think you will get a lot too.

Setting Up for Success

On Mondays, we focus on mindset. A strong mindset is fundamental for prosperity throughout the week. We'll also explore topics such as money, body, finance, and business. Your mindset dictates your actions, thoughts, and feelings, making it crucial to your success.

The First Step: Beliefs

Let's kick off this 12-week journey with the foundational element: Beliefs. One pivotal belief you need to embrace is that you are powerful. Each of us has unique talents and strengths, but the real challenge lies in accessing and harnessing this power within. Believing in your innate power is critical for creating and shaping your life.

As Napoleon Hill once said, "What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve." Your beliefs shape your experiences and perception of life. Ask yourself: Do you believe that life happens to you or for you? The meaning you assign to events shapes your reality. By adopting the belief that you can influence and control the meaning of events in your life, you empower yourself to manifest your dreams.

Beliefs Shape Happiness

Happiness, too, stems from your beliefs. As T. Harv Eker highlighted, people often chase fruits (material success) instead of nurturing roots (core beliefs). Happiness is about appreciating what you have rather than having what you want. It is a decision, and when you choose happiness, you pivot your focus towards gratitude and fulfillment.

The Journey of Happiness

Happiness isn't a destination; it's a journey. By focusing on gratitude and recognizing your unique talents, you create a fulfilling life. The key to ultimate destiny is not in pursuing happiness but rather pursuing your destiny. Happiness follows when you become the person you want to be, achieve your personal goals, and contribute to others' well-being.

Define Your Destiny

Reflect on your concept of destiny and write a new definition for it. What do you want to create for yourself? What conditions are required for you to be happy? Understand that you have the power to choose and control these conditions.

Conclusion

Beliefs are the cornerstone of creating your ultimate destiny. They shape your experience and happiness. As we continue this journey, aim to redefine your destiny, focusing on your beliefs and the actions that align with your goals.

Next week, we'll explore how to refine your decisions to further shape your ultimate destiny. Do me a favor and share this episode with someone who could benefit from it, and let’s spread the message of empowerment.

Thank you for joining me today. I look forward to our continued journey together. Until next time, remember, you are powerful, and your beliefs shape your destiny.

George Wright III, The Daily Mastermind

JointheEvolution.com

Welcome back to The Daily Mastermind! I'm George Wright III, bringing you your daily dose of inspiration, motivation, and education. It's been a little while since our last chat, and I apologize for the brief hiatus. I had a few things going on, but I’m excited to reconnect and share some powerful insights that I believe will genuinely impact your life.

Today, I want to delve into a topic that is essential for anyone aspiring to maximize their potential and overcome obstacles in their personal and professional lives. It's time to evaluate whether you're getting the results you truly desire. And if not, let's figure out why that might be and how you can change it.

Let's start by asking a fundamental question: Are you getting the results that you want in your life? If not, why not? What are you looking for, and how are you going about achieving it? Where are you spending your time? These questions are pivotal because there are certainly times in life when you may feel stuck or like you're making progress, but not moving toward your ultimate destination.

When you find yourself in these cycles, it’s crucial to step back and self-reflect. Ask yourself more profound questions to understand the root cause of your feelings of stagnation. Based on my experience and teachings from some of my mentors, if you’re not making the progress you're capable of, it often boils down to one of five areas in your life.

One of my mentors, Robert Stuberg, developed a concept known as the PEARL Constellation, an acronym for five core areas of life that you should evaluate:

1. Philosophy: How You Think
2. Emotions: How You Feel
3. Activity: How You Work
4. Results: How You Measure
5. Lifestyle: How You Live

Let's break down each of these areas.

Your philosophy is essentially the set of beliefs and thought patterns that guide your actions. It’s like the sail on a sailboat; it determines your direction regardless of the wind's direction. Align your philosophy correctly, and external circumstances will have minimal negative impact on your path.

Emotions play a significant role in your daily life and overall satisfaction. They stem from your core values and needs, such as certainty, significance, connection, growth, and contribution. Assessing whether your values are aligning with your actions can help you better manage your emotional state.

Evaluate whether you are working hard enough and, more importantly, if you are focusing on the right tasks. This is where the concept of working in your zone of excellence and passion comes into play. Are you aligning your efforts with your unique talents and what you're enthusiastic about?

It's essential to measure your progress to ensure you're moving in the right direction. Measurement can be as simple as tracking your progress in various areas like mind, body, finances, business, lifestyle, and relationships. Identifying metrics for these areas will give you a clearer sense of achievement.

Finally, your lifestyle reflects your quality of life while you’re pursuing your goals and dreams. It’s possible to be content with your current resources and circumstances while striving for more. Happiness and satisfaction are often more about perspective than possessions.

This week, I encourage you to step back and take a hard look at these five core areas. Ask yourself where you need to focus more and which changes might help you improve. Consider this your PEARL constellation—a guideline for understanding and optimizing the different facets of your life.

4 Ways to Expand Your Energy Levels

Welcome back to The Daily Mastermind! Today, we're diving into how you can expand your energy levels to live your best life. My mission is to bring you daily doses of inspiration, motivation, and education. Let's start with our Quote of the Day: "Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." Remember, it's crucial not to give up.

In this episode, we're focusing on the importance of energy and how you can generate and manage it. Our thoughts create our lives, and as conscious creators, it’s essential to dig deep into how we can expand our knowledge, skills, and productivity. Drawing insights from experts like Brendan Burchard and Tony Schwartz, we’ll explore four areas to boost your energy: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.

Physical Energy Enhance Your Sleep

Engage in Cardiovascular Exercise

Smaller Meals and Lighter Snacks

Your physical energy is a significant asset. By making small changes to your sleep and diet, and incorporating exercise, you can substantially boost your energy levels.

Emotional Energy Diffuse Negative Situations

Fuel Positive Emotions

Look at Situations through a New Lens

Your emotions can either drain or boost your energy. By managing your emotional response and focusing on positivity, you create a reservoir of energy that can sustain you through challenging times.

Mental Energy Reduce Interruptions

Prioritize Challenges

Spiritual Energy Work in Your Sweet Spot

Live by Your Core Values

Spiritual energy fuels your passion and purpose. By aligning your activities with your core values and focusing on what you love, you can increase your overall energy.

By focusing on your mind, body, emotions, and spirit, you can fuel your impact and results. Share this post on social media and connect with our community. Let’s make sure we're surrounding ourselves with positive influences. Thank you for being part of The Daily Mastermind. I look forward to talking with you more tomorrow.

Welcome back to The Daily Mastermind. I'm George Wright III, here with your daily dose of inspiration, motivation, and education. I hope you're having a great day today, and I appreciate you joining me. For those of you here for the first time, I'd love for you to hit the like and subscribe button so you don't ever miss an episode.

The reason I do The Daily Mastermind is to provide you with a consistent presence that can help you create mental discipline and consistency. This consistency helps you stay focused on what's important and what can help you create your best life ever. I constantly say, and truly believe, that it's never too late to start living the life you're meant to live.

You may be feeling like you're getting older, or perhaps you're young and crushing it in business or struggling. No matter where you are in life, you can always make a decision to start going in the direction you'd like to go. I believe the biggest challenge that sets people back in their life, mindset, attitude, emotions, relationships, and communication is traveling a path they don't want to be on.

It's crucial to be intentional with your choices and your life. One of my favorite quotes is by Jim Rohn, and I’ll probably paraphrase it a bit here: "We all have two choices. We can make a living or we can design a life." How many of you feel like you're just making a living, getting by, going through the motions based on responsibilities, and reacting to daily circumstances?

How many of you are actually living a path that you’ve set in motion? Maybe you don't have all the answers or the exact blueprint, but you're moving toward a vision of where you want your life to be. Which path are you on?

We've been told our whole lives that if you do certain things, you'll eventually get to live the life you want, right? I have found over time and through my experience working with some of the greatest thought leaders and experts in the world, that you have to start that path and enjoy the process. Happiness is about the journey, not about reaching a destination.

Creating balance in life is not about distributing time equally to all areas but being focused on all aspects. You can't let certain areas drop completely and think the rest will go well. Your mental and physical fitness, for example, impact your business, relationships, and communication. It boils down to your daily rituals, like mindset, movement, and eating the right foods, which can significantly increase your productivity.

I often talk to my personal trainer about mental and physical balance. Your mental game empowers you in the gym and vice versa. Setting balance in your goals across mental, physical, spiritual, business, money, family, and relationships is key. That's why The Daily Mastermind touches on mind, money, body, motivation, business, and lifestyle throughout the week.

Many of you ask, "What can I do to start creating my life?" I believe the first step is to get out from under your circumstances and make a decision. Identify your unique talent, the thing you love doing, and find ways to integrate that into your life for both opportunity and fulfillment. Remember, you get paid for the value you bring to the marketplace, not your hours.

One of my mentors, T. Harv Eker, always said, "You can have reasons or you can have results, but you can't have both." If you want results in your life, stop making excuses. No matter your current situation, there are people in worse positions. Be grateful for what you have, even if it's not what you want yet, because that gratitude will help you get more of what you want.

If your actions don’t reflect what you say you believe or want, then you probably don’t truly believe it or want it. Sometimes, the best motivation is avoiding pain rather than chasing a reward. The pain of discipline is far less than the pain of regret. Don’t live your life looking back with regret because of a lack of discipline.

Focus on thoughts that motivate you to act and make a difference. That's the whole reason behind The Daily Mastermind. Ensure you're consciously and intentionally designing a life, not just making a living. Enjoy the process to stay focused on the moment, which will help you reach the next level.

If you enjoyed this, please share the show and tag me, The Daily Mastermind, on Facebook or Instagram. I’d love to interact and see what you're working on. Always feel free to reach out, and I look forward to talking with you more tomorrow. Have an amazing day!

Welcome back to The Daily Mastermind with George Wright III, your source for daily inspiration, motivation, and education. Today, we delve deep into the fascinating world of branding and licensing with none other than Kathy Ireland. From her early days as a supermodel to her current status as a business mogul, Kathy offers invaluable lessons on overcoming obstacles, building relationships, and creating a brand that stands the test of time.

In recent episodes, we’ve explored various ways to grow your business using authority marketing. Whether through magazines, podcasts, or mobile video technology, establishing your authority can significantly boost your revenue and personal brand. Today, we focus on an exemplary case: Kathy Ireland. As a supermodel turned business mogul, her journey offers profound lessons on branding and licensing.

Kathy Ireland's transformation from an international supermodel to a successful businesswoman is nothing short of inspiring. I had the privilege of interviewing her for our magazine, Valiant CEO. With over 100,000 monthly readers and peaks reaching up to 700,000, we’ve featured many celebrities, but Kathy's approach to branding and licensing stands out as particularly impactful.

One of the first questions we asked Kathy was about the challenges she faced in transitioning from a supermodel to a business mogul. She emphasized the importance of forming strategic partnerships. According to her, finding the right people is crucial—it's all about people. She has worked with notable figures like Marcus Lemonis from CNBC’s "The Profit," who stresses putting people before profits, a principle she strongly believes in.

"Finding the right people is crucial. It's all about people," Kathy says.

The ability to reach a broader audience through licensing has been monumental in her growth. The process involved collaborating with others, leveraging mutual relationships, and fostering loyalty and recognition.

Kathy faced numerous rejections in her modeling career, which developed her resilience. She explains that obstacles and rejections fueled her determination rather than defeating her. One of her notable quotes from the interview is,

"Anytime you embark on something new, facing opposition is inevitable. Reflecting on my modeling career, one of the greatest gifts was the resilience developed through numerous rejections."

This mindset has been crucial in her entrepreneurial journey. She advises that instead of merely trying to overcome obstacles, use them as opportunities to build resilience.

We also discussed how Kathy's mindset evolved from the early stages of her entrepreneurial journey to her current endeavors with Kathy Ireland Worldwide. She points out the importance of not letting others' opinions define or destroy you.

"Not letting someone else's opinion define or destroy you is critical to not limiting yourself," she says.

Setting clear goals and understanding your audience are essential to navigating negative opinions and remaining focused on your objectives.

Licensing played a pivotal role in Kathy’s brand expansion. She highlights the importance of establishing strong relationships with potential partners, noting that it’s as much about partnerships as it is about the licensing model itself.

In discussing her initial licensing deals, Kathy shares a humble beginning with just a pair of socks. Her partnership with John and Marilyn Moritz has been fundamental to their success. Quality products, simplicity, and practical vision were the cornerstones that guided their initial endeavors.

Maintaining brand integrity has been one of Kathy’s priorities. She stresses the significance of conducting a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis to evaluate risks comprehensively. Financial circumstances should never be an excuse to overlook risk management.

"In the world of licensing, just because we can doesn't mean we should," she points out.

Kathy’s example underscores the importance of aligning deals with your brand values and long-term vision.

When asked about sectors she is passionate about today, Kathy mentioned her continued interest in fashion, home, and FinTech. However, what excites her most is the privilege of making a difference through her business endeavors.

"Success for me is making a difference," she concludes.

In wrapping up, I emphasize the importance of building your personal brand and creating authority in the market. Standing out is more challenging than ever, but featuring yourself in magazines, podcasts, and social media can help you build trust and create a lasting impact.
