The Daily Mastermind

When was the last time you seriously thought about (Strategically) what daily rituals will move you closer to your goal...I mean "really" thought about it.

I mean, so many of us are committed to personal growth and we are working so hard to move forward in life, but we dont question the intentions behind our "daily rituals".  Today I want to talk to you about ways to reframe your daily rituals and use them to push you forward with discipline and results.

There are a ton of ways we can utilize the power of rituals to move us closer to our goals.  We simply need to define and execute on them with INTENTION.

Thanks for listening.

Cant wait to hear what rituals are working best for you each day...let me know at @thedailymastermind.

Certainty was something I heard from Ed Mylett.  Never thought much about it to be honest.  But if you think about it…

         Certainty will eliminate doubt and minimize fear

         Certainty is protection against negativity and outside influence

         Certainty will fuel your belief which compounds your efforts

Believe it or not, Certainty is something that you can create and somewhat control

People

         Believe transference.

         Belief in your ability

Environment

         Eliminate negativity, doubt and fear surrounding you

         Mastermind with others on similar journey

Discipline

         Control the elements you can control

         Routine, food, diet, activities, rituals

 

I Hope todays episode helps you to create CERTAINTY in your life so tha tyou can move forward and start crushing your goals.

Thanks for listening.

Yesterday we talked about creating awareness of the rut you may be in, recognizing the patterns and problems that you are dealing with, and finding a way to create urgency so you can make the decision to create a plan to attack.

 Today Creating a compelling vision of the future to inspire and motivate you

         Something that keeps your mind forward…keeps you from focusing on past

 Let me ask you…Do you have a vision of where you want to be in 2-5 years?

What is the path, purpose, your plan?

Without a vision…you will never create progress or happiness in life.

First Recognize the Seasons of Life

Where are you in life…

Vision can Change…time for a new vision

Vision doesn’t need to be crystal clear up front

Create a Powerful Vision with Purpose & Passion (Destroy the Rut)

Passion is about emotions, the motivation and what makes us feel good

         What do you love to do?  What’s your unique talent?

Purpose is the reason, or the why behind what we do, primarily for others

                  What drives you to do what you do?  Get clear on this?   

Today, let's really get clear on what will help you go to the next level.

Thanks for listening.

Are you feeling stuck…Are you unhappy with your present results in life?

Time to Recognize You’re in a Rut and Create a Strategy to Get Out…

First you must recognize the patterns, problems, and causes

Signs you are stuck (Recognizing)

1-lack of inspiration

2-negative thoughts

3-inability to complete tasks

4-resistance to change

 What Patterns you have slipped into?

Awareness of Patterns and Cause are important to creating solutions.

         Examples may be:  Social, Electronics, Mindset, Negativity, Fitness, etc.

If you want to change your life…You MUST make it Urgent…

Urgency and Commitment will be keys to getting you out of a Rut

         Stuberg…You have to make it a MUST…it’s the only way

Should vs Must (must is required for lasting change)

Finally, you’ve got to make a decision

Decision vs Commitment

Make decision 1 time only

Once you’ve recognized and become aware, it’s time to create clarity of vision for your plan so TOMORROW we will talk about creating a compelling vision of the future to motivate and inspire you along your journey.

Why should you Start with Fear?   What can we hope to gain from facing our fears and How do we actually start Crushing those fears?…   Here are just a few (of many) reasons to Face Your Fears:

• Gateway to Results- facing your fears can give you valuable experience that you can use to grow, build and learn strategies to execute at a higher level in the future.  Remember that even failure carries with it knowledge that will improve your skills moving forward.
• Personal Growth- the fastest way to grow is to stretch yourself.  This will most certainly happen when you face your fears.  You learn new ways to accomplish your goals, and you are forced to adapt to a new environment.
• Increased Fulfillment- personal growth is one of the most important ways to feel a greater amount of fulfillment and passion in your life.  Truly living only happens when we are growing personally and professionally.  Facing your fears is an amazing way to do this.
• Build Confidence & Belief- as we face our fears, we build confidence and belief in our own abilities to handle life and the amount of uncertainty we have in life.  The experience that comes from dealing with fear creates new beliefs that we can handle any situation in life, and this will create more confidence in our ability stop deal with even greater challenges in the future.

I can go on and on about the positive benefits that come with facing your fears.  I also know that there can be difficult, emotional and negative experiences that come with facing our fears.  Rejection, Failure, and Set Backs can also come with facing your fears, but remember this…   Anything that you can Learn from a Situation can be turned into a Positive if you will just Make the Decision that it will help you Grow and do better in the Future.   How to Start Crushing Your Fear. Now let’s talk about how you can start Crushing Your Fears and some ideas I have for Taking Action…   I’ve learned all kinds of ways to deal with fear, challenges and struggles in my life.  I wrote down a few of the Empowering Thoughts, Techniques and Disciplines that I have learned and used over the years, and here are a few of the best ideas I can give you:

• Say Yes, then Figure it Out- most every 7-Figure mentor that I know has adopted the idea that they will act on opportunity and figure it out along the way.  You don’t need to know everything to take action.
• Good is Good Enough- taking action on your dreams, desires and opportunities is good enough.  Don’t wait for confidence to tackle your fears.  Confidence comes after you push through your fears.
• Focus Your Energy- when you are leaning into fear, you must create space to focus your time, energy and talent so you can develop the skills needed to handle the challenge.  Don’t multi task when facing your fears.
• Surround Yourself with Positive- facing fears can be scary, but you can build up your confidence, belief and abilities by surrounding yourself with others that have already faced similar fears.  They can help you benefit from belief transference, positive influence and support along the way.
• Eliminate Distractions- the best way to deal with your fears to to block out some time and hit them head on.  Don’t allow distractions, easy ways out and others to distract you from your objective and focus on conquering your fears.
• Do Less Not More- the key to handling your fears is not to take everything on all at once.  Don’t feel you need to do it all.  Just simply take the first step.  Most times, the answers, details and solutions come along the way.  The path to dealing with your fears will most time reveal the solutions you are looking for along the way.

  Ultimately, there is not magic pill or easy way to get through facing yours fears. You are the only one equipped to handle your fears.  You are the only that can face them.  But, if you will remember and adopt the idea that “Everything happens for a reason and that reason is there to Benefit me”, then your perspective will drive your experience.  True or not, that will empower you to create an experience of growth and learning rather than failure, disappointment and struggle.   WARNING:  Don’t Let This Happen! I have a thought that came to me, and it is a simple (but serious) word of caution or warning.  Sometimes we fail to recognize that the opportunity or situation “already present in our life” is what we fear dealing with the most.  As a result, we (as entrepreneurs, investors, or just humans) use new opportunities as excuses to “Not deal with Fear we currently have”.  Let me give you an example.  So many times I have seen entrepreneurs or individuals chase shinny objects (new opportunites) in order to find a “way out” of working hard and dealing with the struggles they may be currently facing.  You cannot move from opportunity to opportunity thinking you are “operating outside your comfort zone” or facing new challenges, when you are truthful just avoiding finding solutions to your current situation.  Learn to face your fears regardless of where they are present in your life.   You Can Do It!! I know we all have greatness inside of us.  I know that we are given challenges for a reason and that reason is to grow and develop the best versions of ourselves.  This is not a destination driven objective.  It is a path based journey.   We learn, grow, develop along the way for our entire lives.  When you fall in love with the process…the path…then you release your need for the end result.  When you stop fixating on the end result, you can start to really enjoy the process more.     You are on a path that rewards the person willing to Lean into their Fears with the Benefit of Prosperity, Personal Growth and Happiness.  By avoiding your fears you are left with disappointment, regret and failure.  After all, you will miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.  You will Benefit from 100% of the shots you do take (regardless of scoring points) if you Learn something from every shot.   Wayne Dyer said that as we all look back on the Tapestry of our Lives we will gain a better perspective and the Meaning and Purpose of our Challenges become more clear. It is my hope that when you look back on your are Happy and Confident that you Leaned into your Fear…that you took the risks…that you embraced change…that you learned to love the process of Growth.  I am working on that every day, and I believe you can to.  You can do it.  You have the abilities to handle anything if you will simply put your mind, effort and resolve to doing it.  What the mind can conceive and believe it CAN achieve.  So, Start Creating Your Best Life Today.  

 

Today I want to talk with you about How to start facing your fears to create massive results in your life.   All of us have challenges and fears in our life that we are faced with from time to time.  Sometimes these fears are minor and sometimes they can become extremely debilitating.  Either way, we only truly grow and succeed when we face our fears.  Most of us have heard the phrase:   True Success and Growth is created outside your comfort zone.     I love this statement because it reminds me to focus on the opportunities that are presented to me whenever a challenge or fear is put in my path.  I have experienced time and time again the success and fulfillment that as come into my life by facing my fears and “leaning into what I fear most”.   There has never been a better time to learn and act on this principle than now.  Our business, social, and economic environment is placing many fears in our path and I believe we can use this as an opportunity to Learn more about Ourselves, Grow our Success, and Create an Amazing Life of Fulfillment and Prosperity.  But it will require some Bold, Courageous and Intentional Actions on our part.  I hope this message might inspire you to do just that…   The Time I Walked Away from $250k. There have been many times that I have had to face my fears in difficult situations and life events.  However, I can think of one in particular that really pushed me to a new level.     I was twenty-nine years old and had built a successful sales team for leading online stock education company.  I was doing very well financially and had built a team consistently generating me over $250k per year.  More importantly, I was married and had 5 kids at the time.   I had built a relationship with an individual that owned a small events company doing about $20M per year in revenue with about 20 employees.  This individual had presented me with the opportunity to walk away from my “cush” “job” and become the CEO of his company.  I’m not sure what he saw in me, and I certainly did not feel qualified for the position.  But, I was faced with the challenge/opportunity to walk away from a already built $250k per year to earn a commission (on on profit) of helping him to grow his company.     I certainly saw the potential, but it was a thought that literally terrified me.  I had worked very hard to create the level of success I had created (from the ground up) and knew that it would require some serious “heavy lifting” to jump ship and move to the next level with this offer.  I spent many long, stressful and thoughtful days considering the offer.   I knew that I wanted to go to the next level.  The opportunity appeared to be sound but I would give up a solid (bird in the hand) income for an upside that was not guaranteed in any way.  To say I was scared to make the move would be an understatement.  But ultimately, I chose to make the move and I have never looked back.  In hindsight, that move is what gave me an incredible amount of experience, success, relationships and life skills.  It was a bumpy ride (which we can cover at another time), but we were able to grow the company to over $200M in net collected revenue with over 300 employees in 5 short years.  This was a perfect example of leaning into my Fear in order to Grow and Create Success.   What do you Fear Most? So the question I have for you is, “What is it that you fear right now in your professional life?”  Is there an opportunity that you have been considering or presented with?  Is there a skill that you have put off learning or developing?  Is there a personal passion that you have wanted to start building a business around?  Are there investing opportunities that you don’t feel qualified to start learning and doing?  Maybe you have some current challenges or problems in your life or business that you simply don’t feel qualified to deal with.  Maybe you have a relationship or a family matter that you can’t seem to get up the courage to start working on.  Regardless of what the fear is that is present in your life, I can promise you that your “Greatest Accomplishments”…Your Best Life…is waiting just beyond that challenge or fear.   See, I believe that your Fear is there for a reason that will benefit you.  Maybe it’s your gut telling you that you need to address it.  Maybe its your subconscious mind identifying to you an area that you can learn and grow from.  Don’t get me wrong, I believe that fears can be real (in life and especially in our minds), but I also believe most FEAR is something we create to avoid problems in our lives…simply put it is "false events appearing real."  Maybe another way to look at FEAR is to see it as an opportunity, or a Highlighted area for Growth rather than a red flag to run away from.   Either way, you were meant to do great things and can only accomplish your best life by addressing the road blocks holding you back from Greatness.

I want to share a thought with you this morning that I heard on a recent podcast with Lewis Howes.  It was an idea that Dr Joe Dispenza shares when he talks about growing into the best versions of ourselves.  I felt it really was a new found way of looking at a success principle that I really love and talk about often.

Its the idea of learning to Remember the Future Version of Ourselves.

I hope this episode brings you value and appreciate you listening.

Have an amazing day.

Destiny is ultimately shaped by our deepest intentions and desires.   So what are you intentions...and how can they help you create your best life?   Wayne Dyer talks of the power of intention as more of the meaning behind the Law of Attraction.   He says that Intention explains how the Law of attraction is more about attracting what you ARE rather than what you WANT.   He says most people are too busy trying to "apply" the law of attraction rather than allow things to be...   “You are what your deepest desire is. As your desire is, so is your intention. As your intention is, so is your will. As your will is, so is your deed. As your deed is, so is your destiny.”   So how to you go about harnessing INTENTION?...   Deepak Chopra talks about intention like this: An intention is a directed impulse of consciousness that contains the seed form of that which you aim to create. Like real seeds, intentions can’t grow if you hold on to them.   5 Steps to harness the power of intention   1. Slip into the gap.   Most of the time our mind is caught up in thoughts, emotions, and memories. Beyond this noisy internal dialogue is a state of pure awareness that is sometimes referred to as “the gap.” One of the most effective tools we have for entering the gap is meditation. Meditation takes you beyond the ego-mind into the silence and stillness of pure consciousness. This is the ideal state in which to plant your seeds of intention   2. Release your intentions and desires
   Once you’re established in a state of restful awareness, release your intentions and desires. The best time to plant your intentions is during the period after meditation, while your awareness remains centered in the quiet field of all possibilities. After you set an intention, let it go — simply stop thinking about it. Continue this process for a few minutes after your meditation period each day.   3. Remain centered in a state of restful awareness
.   Intention is much more powerful when it comes from a place of contentment than if it arises from a sense of lack or need. Stay centered and refuse to be influenced by other people’s doubts or criticisms. Your higher self knows that everything is all right and will be all right, even without knowing the timing or the details of what will happen.   4. Detach from the outcome
.   Relinquish your rigid attachment to a specific result and live in the wisdom of uncertainty. Attachment is based on fear and insecurity, while detachment is based on the unquestioning belief in the power of your true Self. Intend for everything to work out as it should, then let go and allow opportunities and openings to come your way.   5. Let the universe handle the details
.   Your focused intentions set the infinite organizing power of the universe in motion. Trust that infinite organizing power to orchestrate the complete fulfillment of your desires. Don’t listen to the voice that says that you have to be in charge, that obsessive vigilance is the only way to get anything done. The outcome that you try so hard to force may not be as good for you as the one that comes naturally. You have released your intentions into the fertile ground of pure potentiality, and they will bloom when the season is right.   I hope these thoughts bring you some inspiration and move you closer to living your life with intention.  Thanks for listening.

I know that many of us struggle with cirucumstances in our lives in silence.  I know that the inner turmoil that you feel might feel unbearable at times.  Sometimes we dont feel like we can catch a break or maybe we just feel overwhelmed.

Learning to calm your mind and provide peace and serentiy in your life is not just a goal we hoep to achieve.  Ironically, it is actually the strategy to get there.  We need to learn to clear our minds in order to handle the challenges in life.  But when we teach ourselves to calm our minds, we also achieve much more productivity, success and happiness.  Serenity literally becomes the strategy, process, and objective we desire in our lives.

I'll explain a little more on this today in this episode.  Thank you for listening, and please do what you can to work silence, serenity and peace into your daily rituals.

And...please let me know what you are struggling with so that we can continue to bring value to yoru day through the Mastermind.

"Thoughts of doubt and fear can never accomplish anything.  They always lead to failure." As a Man Thinketh

I believe that fear and doubt are the true enemies to your peace of mind and success and happiness in life.  In order to really and truly get rid of fear and doubt, you have to be committed to working on your thoughts, actions and awareness of what you believe and filter in your life.

Today I want to talk with you about 3 (probably 4) ways you can truly eliminate fear and doubt in your life or circumstances. I hope you find value in this topic.

Thanks for listening.  Please share this show.
