  • The Secret Revealed by Robert Stuberg Part 2

    Welcome back to the daily mastermind. I am having a great day and I hope you are as well Yesterday I shared something with you. I shared one of my mentors, Robert, Stuberg talking about the secret. And I just want to highlight a couple of things for you today because I'm going to play you the second part of this audio. 

    First, The secret is the creative power in your life. Your thoughts do create your life. Your thoughts are very powerful. Everything in the world has been created at first in thoughts. My favorite quote from Napoleon hill is what the mind of man can conceive and believe it can achieve through a positive mental attitude. 

    But I think that says something that's so important and, you know, Robert talks about why the secret is so powerful. And there's a little paragraph that I want to read you real quick. That I thought was pretty profound. A Buddhist philosopher once said that everyone has given the key to the gates of heaven. 

    But the very same key opens the gates of hell. And whether you choose to take it literally or figuratively, The implications for this message are obvious just as the minds of all humans have completely shaped the modern world. Your own mind gives you the ultimate control over the conditions of your life. 

    It's a power that can raise you up to the highest levels of success and joy and happiness, or you can use that power to create unhappiness, envy, loneliness, or depression. That's created by your mind. In other words, you can actively be a part of the solution or part of the problem. The great thing is you have the ability to choose. Remember that your thoughts create your life. You choose your thoughts. 

    And your thoughts are going to take you down either of those paths. So what I want to talk to you about today is I want to share with you the second part of this audio program that he put together and remind you that. This is some powerful stuff. Robert had thousands and thousands of students that he worked with over the years...Myself included when I was the CEO of a several hundred million dollar a year financial education company. And this basic fundamental principle, and this is why I love what he talks about so much as it is basics. It is fundamentals. But today, we're going to talk about applying the power of the secret. 

    We're going to talk about the creation equation. We're going to talk about the power of decision. And how taking action on your dreams will help you to create your life. And then most importantly, I think many of you will benefit from this small section he talks about on mastering your emotional power. 

    And remember most of us, our emotions get the best of us. We don't master our emotions as a power. So I hope you enjoy this audio today, and I hope that you will take notes and I'd love to get your feedback. Make sure you hit me up on the daily mastermind on Facebook or Instagram. And I will talk with you again tomorrow. Have a great day.

  • The Secret Revealed by Robert Stuberg Part 1

    Welcome back to the dealer mastermind GeorgeWright III with your daily dose of inspiration, motivation, and education. I am super excited to talk with you this week. We have so many things going on. We're launching our brand new weight loss product. We've got a new team that we have that we're going to be working with over in Texas. 

    But I'm excited to share with you a couple of things, because many of you have been talking to me about how frustrated you are in life how you want to make a change, how you want to be able to have new ideas and opportunities. And yet it's ironic to me that we are in probably the best time in my lifetime, that there is to create opportunities. And yet, so many people are struggling. 

    They're struggling. And I tell you this week, I want to start us off. With just a little bit of wisdom from one of my mentors, Robert Stuber now Robert passed away. A few years ago. And I will tell you that's been a difficult thing, but what I do at times is I will listen to some of the audios and teachings that he's had. 

    And it's just a great prime example of the fact that whether you believe you have mentors in your life or people that you surround yourself, that'll help you. You have access to so much information. All you need to do is apply your interest level, your passions. And find yourself, someone, something that continue to, that can continue to inspire you. 

    So I want to share with something with you, Robert and I, over the years have had so many discussions about what it's going to take for people to change their lives. And it always boils back down. To your mindset in your thoughts and things like that. And one of the things that I will go back to every once in a while that I just love is Robert did a program. 

     And it's called the secret. Now, many of you may have heard of the secret because you're familiar with the program and the video that kind of circulated a while back. But prior to that, Robert actually created a program called the secret. And it's an amazing program. It's two parts. And I'm going to share part one with you today, and then I'll share part two with you tomorrow. 

    But part one really talks about this idea of what is the secret and does, and discovering the secret in your life. And I want you to listen to this with two things in mind. Number one. That you can receive the motivation and inspiration you need. By simply finding mentors that you can have in your life. Like Robert. 

    Like individuals. Whether it's audio, his podcasts, videos, YouTube, whether it's live in person or in events. You can find people that can pull out of you. What I know. You have the ability to create, which is you have greatness inside of you. You have everything you need, you just need to push yourself outside your comfort zone. So today we're going to talk about discovering the secret. And second tomorrow, we're going to talk about in part two. 

    Applying. The secret and applying the principles that will help you to not only create in your life, but make key decisions, take your dreams to the next level and then master your emotions. And so I hope you'll enjoy this. I'm not going to talk anymore. I'm going to go ahead and turn it over to Robert. And i will talk with you again tomorrow morning

    Thanks for Listening.

  • Should You Focus or Diversify and How?

    All right. Welcome back to the Daily Mastermind, George Wright III here with your daily dose of inspiration, motivation, and education. We got the middle of the week, so I hope you're having a good week and things are off to a good start. Today I wanna talk to you a little bit about this concept of focus.

    And as entrepreneurs, I know a lot of us struggle between finding new opportunities and pursuing new business and ideas. That shiny object syndrome and finding focus to drive success and results in your life. So before I get started with that, I want to go through the quote of the day, the quote of the day in the Daily Mastermind mobile app is by Napoleon, and it says, A leader is a dealer in hope.

    A leader is a dealer in Hope. I love that idea because I think there's a key differentiation between leadership and management. Management. You are, you're driving priorities and managing tasks and people, but leadership really is about hope. It's about driving a vision for people. And so that's a great quote.

    Now let's get to this concept of focus or diversification. This is something my whole life I've both struggled with and found solutions to because if you think about it you really get the greatest success when you focus. But at the same token, you wanna be able to drive new business and new ideas.

    Most projects and companies that people have started, they didn't know what it was gonna be. And if they were closed-minded to opportunities that were coming along the way, they wouldn't be open to the true potential that they could have. So my answer to whether you should diversify or create focus, Is both, it's one of our prosperity pillars.

    I think win-win and that's why you need to think about it from a different paradigm. See, focus means follow one course until successful. That's an acronym. F O C U S follow one course and until successful. And so I guess the question boils down to what course are you following? The key, in my opinion, is to have a real clear vision and have real clarity on that vision at a high level.

    In other words, not specifically to the task or the business, but what are you trying to create in your life? What do you want your life to be like? Because if you have a clear vision of what you want your life to be like, you don't need to be wrapped up in the details that get you there. To a certain degree when you're looking at your vision, see, when you have a great vision of what you want your life to be like, then you can create some diversification and yet still focus.

    So how do you do that? One of the tricks that's really helped me a lot. Because I've had multiple companies for coaching and mentoring and marketing and financial education. Everything from apparel to mobile app a mobile app developer for Android, and and for goo I'm sorry for iTunes, apple.

    When you diversify, the key is this, and listen to me carefully, the key to diversification in the things you're doing. Is to make sure that they have synergy, that they align together. In other words, if your goal is to create a certain life and have a certain income, and for example, my focus has always been personal development and financial education.

    Then when I do financial education events, I can still work with. Personal development ideas. We still have lead generation. We still work with partners that go in all these different areas. When I created an apparel company, we created motivational messages and things that help to synergize and build a community for various direct selling companies.

    So you can create diversification and yet still be focused on your ultimate goal. So diversification with synergy, with synergistic things. In other words, you can't be out. Doing door-to-door sales for some product. And then over here trying to do online marketing for something completely different.

    You've got to find synergy in the things that you're working on so that they feed together to get you to your goal. And then what you can do is you can drive depth in the areas that you focus on. It's always okay to be looking for opportunities. And to, in certain periods of time.

    I'll talk about that in a second. Look and explore new opportunities that might take you to your ultimate goal, your ultimate vision. But don't drive depth and put a lot of time and effort into those until you know that they will contribute to your total vision until they contribute to what you want.

    Once you have that idea or that area, or you see a, a little bit of success in a certain area that might be diversified, then you can drive depth into it. Then you can go really deep into that area because it aligns with what you're looking for, and it's a good use of your time. So what I wanna do is I'm gonna give you just a, a handful of.

    Keys that I feel are gonna help you create success in diversifying, but staying focused. The key is focused. These are keys to success that I've used. There's probably a lot of other ones. These are just ones that have worked for me. I. The first is to make sure that you drive clarity in your vision. And I know we talk about this.

    What do you want your life to be like and what's your vision? A lot. But that's because so many of you haven't done anything about clarifying it. You've gotta sit down and you have to be super clear. If someone asks you what you want your life to be like and you can't answer that immediately. Number one, you don't know what it is.

    Number two, you don't obsess and focus on it all the time, and you just don't have clarity. So you've gotta get clear on your vision because once you do, the vision is your litmus test. It's your filter for all the opportunities and things that come your way. You can say, if someone says, Hey man, I got this amazing opportunity.

    You could say, does that align with where I'm going? Could it in any way even diversified, help me get there, if not, And it's a no. You're not gonna spend time on it, but you're constantly looking at new ideas and you don't know what, where you're going. You're not gonna know whether or not to say yes or no.

    You're just constantly chasing shiny objects. The second thing is, once you clarify what your vision is, you've gotta have some really specific and just a couple of key performance indicators, KPIs. Most successful businesses have KPIs as a CEO of multiple companies. I always have KPIs. This might be your lead acquisition cost, your revenue, your numbers of new customers, or enrollment.

    It might be your metrics of whatever it is, whether it's sales, marketing, operations, your turn time, your customer, wait time, your KPIs or critical to knowing whether or not you're on track. With your vision, it's your compass to get you where you're going. And a true, successful leader and ceo, if they have a couple of really strong KPIs, they know whether they're going and they don't have to be in the weeds to figure it out.

    They don't have to be down in the detail. So know what your KPIs are, and that might be even just in a general sense for your life, your overall income, your overall net worth, your overall debt, your amount of time. And your dollars per hour you're getting for your time, because we can talk about that a whole nother time.

    But what you're gonna find is if you track your income per hour, you're gonna find what you focus on grows. What you focus on grows. So clarity of vision, KPIs, the next thing is you've gotta have priorities. Once you've set priorities, things won't get you away from your focus. And I always recommend setting your priorities on a weekly basis so that you're not thinking about what your priorities are during the week.

    Set those priorities. Another suggestion would be time blocking Tony Robbins and Robert Stu Berg, and a lot of my good mentors. Have always talked about time blocking. You've gotta have time. My partner Robert St. Bergs, talks about a CPR process. Concentration time, preparation time and recovery time.

    You've gotta have time that you have for each of these areas. But also more importantly, if you're gonna do a task block time out for it. Multitasking is not a good, efficient use of your time. It's a terrible way to stay focused, have time blocking. If you have four things you gotta do today, block out. I recommend between 60 to 90 minutes for each of those tasks.

    Limit the number of priorities you have, but block out time for those priorities and make sure that you have those on a weekly basis already set. Don't wake up in the morning and wonder what you're gonna work on today. Don't wake up in the morning and have a whole list of things without having your schedule already set, or you are set up to fail from the beginning, because if your schedule's not set, people will set it for you.

    So that's a key time blocking. So we got clarity of vision, KPIs, priorities, time blocking, which will really help you create focus. Then you've gotta have accountability. You've gotta have accountability. Now, this might be in the terms of making a commitment to someone that you're gonna get 'em something.

    It might be a deadline. A lot of times we work on projects, but we're afraid to set a deadline. Set a deadline. It's better to work towards a deadline. It's like training for a marathon or a competition or whatever it is. You gotta have a deadline because it'll push you, rather than most of us that procrastinate to the very last minute without a deadline.

    Things don't get done. So accountability is key. And then you've gotta track your progress. You gotta keep a scorecard, and I recommend doing a real evaluation once a week to find out, have you made any progress? How much progress? The whole goal in your life should be to make progress, not to get to a destination, but to make progress as long as you're making progress, which accountability helps you to do.

    Then that'll really make a difference in your life. And you'll feel more accomplished. You'll feel fulfilled. You'll feel productive because progress is the key no matter how little or small like Steve Jobs says, a lot of us underestimate the power of what can happen over five years, but we overestimate what we can do in a short period of time.

    So that's what I would recommend on progress. And then the last one is really work to create some simplicity in your life. If you're going into your day with a list of 30 things, Number one, you're not gonna be focused. Number two, you're probably not gonna accomplish as much as you want or you've got a list of things that are super easy to do and you're just driven by being able to check the boxes, and that's not productive either.

    So these are all keys to success on being focused and creating results. I really believe that you can create focus and still diversify as long as that diversification of areas and opportunities are synergistic. To help you focus on getting the life that you wanna live. So create some clarity, use key performance indicators, KPIs.

    Set your priorities time block to create real focus, create accountability, check your progress weekly, and then really simplify the thing you want to do each and every day. If you'll do that, I think you're gonna create focus. You're gonna create more opportunity, and you're gonna create more progress in your life.

    So that's my message for today. I want you to do me a favor, and if you got some value outta this, share it with a friend. Share it with someone that you know. We don't have sponsors. We don't take money on this show. I just do it to create value. And if you'll help us to share that message, that would be great, and I look forward to talking with you a little bit more.

     So that's my message for today. I hope you have a great day. Once again, this has been The Daily Mastermind and my name is George Wright III.

    We'll talk with you soon.

  • 13 Habits from Wayne Dyer Part 2 TB
    I am so excited about the next 12 weeks and the Launch of the Mastermind Academy and I know that it will help many of you really level up over the next 3 months. So don't forget to go over to the website and optin to receive updates on the launch.   JoinTheEvolution.com   Today I want to share with you the second (of 2 parts) of an episode I did on 13 Habits to Create Your best life from Wayne Dyer...one of my all time favorite Mentors. What an Amazing Human he was. I hope you enjoy. Thanks for listening and PLEASE SHARE THIS SHOW. George   13 Habits to Create a Life You Love…Your BEST LIFE (part 2 of 2)   Habit 7: Reconstruct Your I Ams -In order to attract abundance into your life, you need to think abundantly. The problem is that too many of us are focused on what we lack or don’t have. We need to very carefully identify what we want in our lives and shift into a state where we can visualize that it has already happened. Its simply a process and habit to teach yourself. Shift from “I want” or “I will” to “I AM”. There is massive power in your ability to act as if and visualize (in your mind) the events as already happening in your life.   Habit 8: Be Patient & Banish Doubt -I know it can be difficult to condition your mind in a new way like Dr Dyer suggests. This is why it is so important for you to be patient and to allow yourself time, patience and understanding when changing your life. It will take work and also take much focus for you to get where you want to be…but all things that are worth it will take time and sacrifice. Be patient with yourself not just in growth but in adopting a long term focus for creating your best life…its a process.   Note- one thing that has helped me is that it can sometimes be difficult to have faith and belief in yourself or the fact that you can accomplish big things. But, if you adopt faith and confidence that you are “committed” and will “never give up” then you will still accomplish your goals and dreams.   Habit 9: Align Yourself with the Feeling of the Wish Fulfilled -Visualizing yourself accomplishing your goals is one step. Creating present day affirmations is another, but Dyer talks about something in this habit I really like. He says that you also need to “FEEL” what’s its like so that you can clearly align with what you are trying to accomplish. You can do this by attaching yourself to the emotions you might feel when you are where you want to be personally or professionally. He notes that Einstein made the observation: “logic will get you from A to B. Imagination ill take you everywhere”. Your logic has gotten you where you are now. It’s time to develop your imagination and see where that takes you...   Habit 10: Take Stock of How Natural Your Dream Feels to You -Quote "The time it takes your desire to become reality is directly proportional to the naturalness of being it. The more natural an experience your wish feels for you, the faster you will create it in your life. Conversely, the more unnatural a state of being feels to you, the longer it will take to achieve.”  The key word is “feels”. This directly ties to the concept we speak of called Defining Your Unique Talent.   Habit 11: Phrase Your Intentions as Given Statements -There is a power in writing out your Intentions and reading them daily. Sometimes we think that spending time thinking about our goals and dreams is enough but writing them down…studying them daily…and repeating them aloud is very powerful as well. Spend time placing Your Statement into your daily rituals and practices.   Habit 12: Choose Your Reality with Love -I like how Dyer talks about this habit. He talks about how our goals and desires can become driven but our need to win, create status, gain recognition, or basically over power those around us. This is because EGO starts to take over. When you come from a place of Love and Understanding you can adopt much more power and influence in your life. Its counterintuitive, but Love is a very powerful emotion and driver if you adopt it in your life.   Habit 13: Know that What You Already Have is Enough -Learn to practice gratitude for what you already have. Until you practice gratitude for you what you have, it is highly unlikely you will continue to gain more in your life. I love the quote I’ve given in the past: "Happiness is wanting what you have…rather than having what you want.” This is a philosophy that will truly help you to accomplish and have more in your life, if you will adopt it.   Ultimately, you are an Amazing Person. You have Unlimited untapped potential. You have everything inside you to become the best version of yourself and create an Amazing life. The key then becomes the process of “uncovering” the new, best version of yourself.   It's like when Michelangelo was creating the statue of David and said that he wasn’t carving out the human form. He was simply removing (chipping away) the stone from the sculpture that was not needed. You must view the same process for yourself and your life. Just become more of the greatness you have inside you each day and your life will unfold in an amazing way. Uncover and Unleash Your True potential.   I hope that this message and these habits will help you to create your best life. Thanks for listening today.

So don't forget to go over to the website and optin to receive updates on the launch.   JoinTheEvolution.com   Today and tomorrow I want to share with you an episode I did on 13 Habits to Create Your best life from Wayne Dyer...one of my all time favorite Mentors. What an Amazing Human he was. I hope you enjoy. Thanks for listening and PLEASE SHARE THIS SHOW. George   13 Habits to Create a Life You Love…Your BEST LIFE (part 1 of 2)   Dr Dyer talks about a “realm” or place thats outside your normal level of consciousness that allows you the opportunity to visualize and create what you want in your life. He talks about how when you get to the “realization” of this place and your innate ability to access this level of consciousness in your life, you truly become empowered.   Maybe you’ve experienced this in your life or maybe you haven't, but I have certainly learned and come to the conclusion in my life that you can access energy, influence and the power greater than yourself to truly impact and shape your life.   And, whether you believe in yourself (and your abilities) or believe in powers greater than yourself, it doesn't change whether they are true or not. They are and there are ways to truly tap into greatness inside of you that you haven’t discovered yet. I can say this because no matter where you are in life, you are always capable of more…we all are.    You simply have the decision to believe that you are not alone and that you have greatness inside you. Plus, you have to come to a point in your life that you realize that faith in something outside just yourself will help you to achieve greatness if you will simply exercise some faith and become consistent in your daily rituals that will lead you to a greater version of yourself and the life your were meant to live…an amazing life.   So, I want to run through the 13 Habits that Wayne Dyer outlines that can assist you in Your Perspective, Your Thoughts, and Your Daily Practices…and Ultimately help you Manifest and Create a Life you Love.   Habit 1: Believe You Are an Infinite Spiritual Being Having a Temporary Human Experience -This is a concept that I truly love. Rather than thinking we are Human Beings that are having a Human Experience, Dyer suggests that we are much much more. He suggests that we are Spiritual Beings (more than we can imagine) that are having a temporary Human Experience. The key here is to understand and belief that you are not your situation. You are not just limited to the ego, life and struggles that you experience every day. This is a truly empowering concept when you can do this.   Habit 2: Become the Observer of Your Thoughts -You’ve heard me (and others) say over and over again that you become what you think about the most. That is why I like this Habit so much. You have to become a Master at monitoring your thoughts and feelings. You must do this so you can quickly adapt and deal with negative or disempowering thoughts, but also so you can stay on track with what you truly desire. Staying laser focused is a key to getting with you want…this happens when you Observe and Direct Your Thoughts.   Habit 3: Release Your Imagination from Current Limiting Circumstances -It is so important that you disconnect your circumstances from your identity. You are not your story. You are not limited to the resources and experience that you currently have. You need to accept your situation in life is exactly that…”a temporary situation in life”. You are the one that is capable of overcoming where you are and growing past it. When you believe that 1)you are not your story, and 2)that you are determined to overcome whatever it is you are facing…then, you have already won. Open up your mind and your imagination to the possibilities.   Habit 4: See Your Wish as Already Accomplished -You must learn to visualize yourself as already accomplishing your goals. This isn’t easy but the subconscious mind doesn’t really separate the difference in what is real and not real like your conscious mind does. When you can learn to image that your goals and dreams (wishes) are already done…then your mind will go to work finding ways to make it happen. RAS   Habit 5: Believe in Your Own Divine Power -Dyer would something I really appreciate and try to recognize in my daily life…"It is my belief that you are never given the power to dream without the equivalent power to manifest that dream and make it your physical reality.” He reflected that teachings of many great spiritual leaders that would encourage us to see ourselves at unlimited and know that we are capable of great things.   Habit 6: Remain Independent of the Good Opinion of Other People   -It is so important in today’s world to clarify what you want and picture the version of yourself you wish to attain. But it is equally important to have faith in yourself and your intentions and not get caught up in the opinions of others. Allows these distractions will only keep you from moving forward in life and creating the best version of yourself because you will constantly be doing things for the wrong reasons.   Thanks for listening today.  Please share this episode and also TAG me in your post so I can comment and see how you are doing.

  • 10 Tips to Optimize Your Brain & Eliminate Frustration & Overwhelming Thoughts
    This week we are starting a 12 week Super Deep Dive into Evolving Your Life We are talking about evolving your mind, body, money, business, and lifestyle. 20 years of mentors, contacts, connections....sharing with you the success secrets... ...the success clues that create the greatest change.   Topic Today:  10 Brain Tips to Keep You from Getting Frustrated or Fed Up from the Amen clinic and Doctor Daniel Amen...best selling author.   Problem:  So many people are dealing with Depression & Anxiety or Health Issues that are caused by the brain and not optimizing this amazing tool. Today I want to talk to you about ways you can optimize your brain/mind on a daily basis.   Here is the Challenge & Questions to Ask Yourself? Are you taking care of your mind...your brain...your body? What specifically are you doing and what can you do better? What types of problems or symptoms are you having that might improve your overall life with a little focus and attention to your brain?   Solution:   10 Brain Tips to Keep You (and your kids) From Getting Frazzled, Frustrated, or Fed Up 1. Look for the positive. The human brain is hardwired for negativity. Tip:  Train your brain to look for successes. 2. Fuel your brain. Feed your brain high-quality foods and start the day with some protein for better focus and energy. Amen- Brain is comprised of 80% water, and being even mildly dehydrated can negatively impact your moods—making you feel more anxious, tense, depressed, or angry—in addition to sapping your energy levels and lowering your ability to concentrate. Tip:  Drinking a gallon of water daily will change your life. 3. Exercise to boost blood flow to the brain. Brain uses 20% of the oxygen and blood flow in your body. Anything that impairs blood flow hurts your brain and impairs function.  Exercise enhances moods, reduces stress and anxiety, and increases focus and energy. Tip:  Daily Rituals in morning of exercise help you win the day. 4. Create a physical space for work and school. Train your brain by setting up physical boundaries. Tip: Do not take work into the bedroom at night or it will impact your rest. 5. Give your brain a break. The ideal amount of time to work on a single task is 75-90 minutes, Learn to Time Block Critical Tasks around these 90 min blocks. Take mini breaks. Tip:  This does not mean TV or Social Media Break... 6. Share the load. Community, Mentoring, Personal Trainers, Friends, and Family all help to lower stress, anxiety and overwhelm. Tip:  Join a small masterminds, groups or attend networking events... 7. Practice mental hygiene. In a pandemic, mental hygiene is just as important as washing your hands. Amen Clinics calls these  ANTs (automatic negative thoughts) that steal your happiness. Sometimes naming items helps to identify and eliminate negative thoughts. Tip: This week try to Recognize your negative patterns or thoughts immediately when they happen. 8. Encourage active listening at home (and work). Learn to listen first and then repeat back what you heard. It helps others feel "heard" and also helps to clarify and eliminate any miscommunications. Tip:  In business this is a great way to help others feel you are listening and respect and loyalty and performance... 9. Tell your brain it’s time to relax. At the end of the day, learn to shut down your mind...super super difficult I know...I've been there. Find activities, boundaries and even rituals that help you shut down your mind...like journaling, meditation, music, etc. I find it really helpful to list what is on my mind for tomorrow so it helps you to let it go easier. Tip:  I’ve spoken about the idea of the Corporate Athlete…meaning the growth is in the recovery not the stress... 10. Stick to a sleep schedule. Amen Clinics suggests- While you’re sleeping, your brain is hard at work performing some very critical functions necessary to keep it operating at optimal levels. For example, during sleep, your brain cleans or washes itself by eliminating cellular debris and toxins that build up during the day (basically taking out the neural trash), consolidates learning and memory, and prepares for the following day. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommends that children ages 6-12 get 9-12 hours and teenagers 13-18 years old get 8-10 hours of sleep each night. Adults should aim for 7-8 hours of sleep each night. Adequate sleep improves attention, behavior, learning, memory, emotional regulation, quality of life, moods, and mental health. Tip:  Create a sleep routine for yourself and your children and stick to it.   Anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD, and other mental health conditions are real and it does not help to just avoid or sweep them under the rug. Find ways to take your #1 Asset (your brain) and turn it into a super power and ultimate tool for growth...practice self care.   I think it is so important for us to remember that we are not our minds.  Our brain is a tool and like anything else, you MUST keep it sharp, clean and focused.  I highly recommend any of Dr Amens books on Mental Health and Brain health and he also has an incredible podcast that he and his wife do which gives you small nuggets of health and nutrition information as well as activities for the brain and life in general.   I’ll leave the link to this article and his podcast in my show notes….

  • Living the 12 Prosperity Pillars

     

    Welcome back to the Daily Mastermind, George Wright III with your daily dose of inspiration, motivation, and education. Welcome back to the Mastermind. I want to talk to you today a little bit about a foundation for the next 12 weeks. Now, because I've said this a million times, it's never too late to start living your best life, but you must get the mental discipline, the consistency.

    The support. That's why the Daily Mastermind is here. Now, we've had a little bit of holidays going on and maybe sometimes I post it morning and sometimes in the afternoon. But I promise you, I'm going to be here to help support and guide you through this process over the next 12 weeks. So, we're going to deep, we're going to deep dive into evolving your life.

    Last week we talked about your mind, your body, your money, your business. I want to talk to you this week about your lifestyle as well. But I want to start you with a foundation now. You may or may not have seen the Prosperity Pillars poster that I designed a while back. It's been, I don't know how many years now.

    But I want to give you a little bit of background on that because I think it's important to have a foundation in your life, not just for daily rituals, not just a cool little poster. But the bottom line is this look a about, oh, maybe. Eight years ago, 10 years ago, I was having a real tough time. I had gone through a recent divorce, I had a business failure in my mind as it was a failure, right?

    Because I've I know that I'm very difficult on myself and on business and life. But I was really struggling. I was dealing with some depression. I was having a hard time trying to find where I wanted to go and what I wanted to do. And the reason for this is because as I had grown up, I had been focused on creating my, my dreams, right?

    And living today like most won't, so you can live tomorrow, like most can't, which is just a bunch of crap. I wish it hadn't taken me so long to realize that you can create your best life at any given time and that. You must disconnect happiness and success. They don't have to necessarily go hand in hand.

    And plus, my definition of success completely redefined. But the bottom line is this. I was really struggling and yet over the last 20, 25 years, I had all these opportunities to learn from mentors and bestselling authors, and. Thought leaders and experts, people like Tony Robbins, Robert Kiyosaki, Donald Trump Brian Tracy, Harv, Ecker, Les Brown, all these types of individuals I either did marketing for or they spoke for me, or I had events.

    I got to get real, I close and personal and I learned a lot of things. And I got to tell you a lot of the true success principles. Are around and they stand the test of time, they just get repackaged, right? You've heard different things come up and about, and yet books like Think and Grow Rich from Napoleon Hill have been time tested and even to this day, I reread that book and so many people have done the same.

    So, I started to just put on paper everything I could think of that I felt were principles, things that I wanted to take into my life to build a foundation, and I was trying to find a way to crawl out of this little rut that I was in. And so, I started putting down my thoughts, daily rituals, working on your mindset.

    And as many of you have heard the story of my mentor Robert Berg, helping me to redefine success and redefine, what my version of success was. And through that process, I started to list out. Some principles, some prosperity principles, and it turns out that those basically have developed into the 12 prosperity pillars that you see today.

    What I did is I designed them up on a poster just for my benefit. This most of what I do, and most of what you do should be for your benefit because it will then help others. I started the podcast, I started the daily Mastermind. I started the community. And to this day, I haven't really sold anything from it at all.

    I do it for my benefit. I do it to help others. But these principles that, that I picked up and I learned these 12 prosperity pillars, they were designed to basically help me remind myself of what was most important if I wanted to create my best life. And in order to create your best life, you've got to focus on.

    Doing the things that you know you need to do. And so I want to just walk you through these 12 pillars and I'm going to do it because anything else, I have people every once in a while say, man you talk about those same things all the time and it's be, and it's just like professional basketball players that have to learn to shoot free throws.

    The fundamentals are what drive your game and what drive your life. It's what drives your philosophy. And your philosophy is what's going to take you. Where you want to go, your beliefs. And so unless you're consciously creating those beliefs, you are not going to change your life. Let's be honest, you've gotten where you are now because of what you've been doing.

    So, if you can take these, not just on surface value, but learn to adopt them, ingrain them, dig deep into them, I think you're going to find that these 12 prosperity principles are not as simple. As they sound, they are, and I don't just mean in difficulty, right? The depth that you can go into these 12 principles are beyond anything you can imagine.

    So I'm going to go through 'em relatively quickly because we'll spend time over the next, 12 weeks and dig deep into 'em. But I want you to think about these now. I want you to keep an open mind as to what it is you are trying to create in your life and how these principles might help you to do that.

    And take a self-assessment. How are you? Playing when it comes. How are you showing up when it comes to these principles? So, the first one is, I create my life. I create my life. I felt like it all stemmed around the ability for you to acknowledge and believe that you are the orchestrator of your life.

    Your inner world will create your outer world, but you are the one who controls and creates that. You may not control everything else around you, but if you can adopt that philosophy, it'll take you far. The second one is I take personal responsibility. See, it's one thing to believe you can create your life.

    It's another thing to take personal responsibility for everything that happens. There's no other way to say this, but that everything in your life is exactly the way it is because of you, your decisions, your beliefs, your actions, and so it's so important to take personal responsibility. The third one is probably my favorite.

    I act in spite of my mood. Because no one wants to get up early. Nobody wants to work late. Nobody wants to work a side hustle. Nobody wants to do the difficult things because it's not fun. It's difficult, but successful people act in spite of their mood. You don't allow your mood to determine whether your actions are going to continue to push you forward in your life.

    The next one is, I surround myself with positive people. Now, I thought about this a little bit and I thought maybe it should be I surround myself with successful people or happy people, but I felt. There's a universal principle around positivity, and as I talk to most of the people that I felt were successful in their life, their personal, their financial, their business life I found that the positive attitude is one that really drives you forward.

    You can always get around successful people. You can always find, people that are happy, but having that positive verb that, that, that energy is huge, then it moves on to, I focus on solutions. Think about that for a second. I focus on solutions, not just. I focus on trying to come up with answers, but I constantly focus on solutions as a baseline because you've got to come from a place of abundance, not scarcity.

    If you're focused on the problem trying to solve it, you're coming from a place of scarcity. So, focus on solutions. The next one is I create an attitude of abundance. It goes hand in hand, but you notice it doesn't just say, I live in abundance. It says I create an attitude of abundance. You can control your attitude.

    You may not control your environment, but you can create that attitude of abundance. Then I choose to be happy. Happiness by far in a way, is absolutely a choice because when you choose happiness, you've set yourself on a path and you're going in motion towards your best life. The next prosperity pillar is, I always think win-win.

    Now, I learned this lesson in business because I used to get overwhelmed with trying to think of things, but if you think about it now in the. Business world, the personal world with the power of AI and the internet and things. There are so many answers, but the key fundamental difference is that you want to make sure that you always believe that everyone can win in any situation.

    That you don't have to have someone else lose for you to get ahead. The next principle is I am committed. To lifelong learning. I am committed to lifelong learning. See, when you think about how you can create your life and your learning, and you try to find a way to be able to grow it's not just about learning.

    It's not just about finding ways to grow; it's about applying the learning. And this is why lifelong learning for me is an application. You must apply it throughout your whole life. And lifelong learning keeps you young. It keeps you open, it keeps you fresh, and I think that's something that we all need to adopt.

    The next principle is I create daily rituals. Now this is the one that I believe will I. Push you forward when motivation is gone, it will lead you on a path, steps at a time towards your best life. But if you don't have daily rituals, that also revolve around who you are and what helps you and influences you the best.

    If you're just checking boxes, those aren't going to work for you. So, you've got to create daily rituals. The next principle is I attract success. I think that's a belief, a fundamental belief. You've got to ingrain in your DNA. I attract success, money, happiness communication, relationships, friendships, community.

    I attract it because you've got to learn to take action. But Harv Becker's always talked about, you've got to allow space for attraction. And the final principle is I visualize and manifest my life. Now, I put that on the bottom last because I wanted to leave you with that thought whenever you thought about these principles.

    Because I believe that's a, I know a lot of people think it's a woowoo type of thing, energetic type thing, but I believe if you're going to create your life, you've got to first visualize in order to manifest your life, and we don't spend enough time doing that. You've got to learn to visualize and then manifest the life that you want to have.

    It's never too late. To start living your best life. That's my message for today. I want you to keep these 12 principles as something you feel you can carry you through the next 12 weeks. We'll dig deep into these and give you some strategies and tactics, but for now that's the message. I would like you to do me a favor.

    If you wouldn't mind, please share this show. Share the show so that everyone can benefit, we can grow the community, we can make a positive difference and impact in the lives of those around us. That's my message for today. I hope you have an amazing day, and I look forward to talking with you more tomorrow.
