The Daily Mastermind

I'm really excite to share this topic with you today.  So many of us worry about failing in life.  As a result we don't take chances and we continue to work at job we don't enjoy, doing things that we are tired of doing, and maintaining a mediocre life.

Jim Carrey gave a commencement address back in 2011 where he made a statement that I absolutely loved.  He said, "you can fail at what you don't want, so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love."

I really think we can learn a ton from that statement.  Take a chance on pursuig your dreams. Take a chance on doing what you love.  Bet on yourself, and you will reap the rewards.

Thanks for listening.

Every one of us struggles with our emotions at times.  We allow outside influences to hijak our senses, our control and our happiness.  

What if I told you that there was a way to shift your emotions from being a weakness or vulnerability to a true super power?  What if there was a way to take control of your emotions and use them to experience the best life possible and create lasting happiness in the process?

Well, Robert Stuberg has certainly creating a strategy to do it.  Today we are going through the 8th Strategy in Robert's Program, Creating Your Ultimate Destiny.  In this strategy, Robert helps us to find a way to learn to move from "Achieving to be Happy" to "Happily Achieving".  He helps us understand that emotions are something we can truly learn to master.

I hope you enjoy this special edition podcast today with the Master Mentor himself...Robert Stuberg.

Thanks for listening.

The key to progressing in life is just that...progress.   But the key to progress is consistency...   This only happens when we learn to create healthy habits and set those habits or activities in our lives in a way that truly becomes consistent and creates change over time.   Then why do so many people struggle to create good habits and also struggle with consistency.   I believe it boils down to a combination of  

1. Expectations
2. Discipline
3. Alignment

  First, we have to learn to manage our expectations in life and with the habits we create.  One of my many mentors had a great way to put this concept that I think will bring this point home...   He Says...Perfectionism Stops us from Creating New Habits...   When we decide to create a new habit — exercise, healthy eating, meditation, writing — we can get excited and optimistic, and have an idea of how it will go perfectly.   This is such a hopeful time! Unfortunately, reality has other plans.   Our perfect idea of how our new habit will go is pretty much never how it actually goes. We might do really well for a few days or even a couple of weeks, but inevitably we’ll miss a day or two because of tiredness, busyness, sickness, visitors, forgetting, etc. And then things get derailed, because of our perfect idea of how we hoped the habit would go.   This is one of the main obstacles to forming habits. Our hopeful idea of how it will go, and then our disappointment and frustration with ourselves when it doesn’t go that way.   The idea that we should be super consistent and perfect in our habit attempts … it derails us.   Here’s what typically happens:  

1. We think, “I’m going to start doing X everyday!” Then our minds get excited and we start imagining how it will go, and how it’s going to make our lives better and make us a better person.
2. We start trying to doing X every day.
3. The reality doesn’t match the imagination in some way: doing X is not as fun as we thought it would be, or we miss a couple of days, or we repeatedly miss a couple of days.
4. We get frustrated by the way things are going. We are disappointed in ourselves. We’re discouraged. We eventually quit and our self-image gets hurt.

You can see from this sequence that the problem isn’t missing a couple of days — it’s the expectation or fantasy that we had about how it will go, and the resulting disappointment, frustration and discouragement that has us quit and feel bad about ourselves.   The problem isn’t the reality, it’s the expectation that things will go a certain way.   How could we find a different way?   Reality-Based Habit Change What if we simply said, “Let me try to bring a daily ritual of doing X into my life, and be curious about what it will be like”?   So there doesn’t have to be a fantasy that it will go perfectly or brilliantly. We don’t know how it will be. But we can bring an intention to do it, and a curiosity about what that will be like.   Then we start doing it. We miss a day, but this is not a cause for discouragement. It’s a cause for curiosity — what got in the way? What would it be like to start again today?   Each day becomes a lovely place of learning.   Then “successful” days and “failure” days are not really binary results of success/failure, but instead a rich place of curiosity and learning.   What would that be like for you?   So one of the obvious things we need to do is manage our expectations and perfectionist nature...   Then, we need to find ways to create Discipline and Alignment for ourselves in order for the positive, healthy and productive habits to take shape.   This can be done many different ways.  

• Set yourself up for success with your habits
• Align your habits with what works for YOU
• Create the best time of day for your habits
• Pick the habits that most likely will create change for YOU
• Don't overwhelm yourself...just start simple
• Find ways to create small wins each day
• Never negotiate with your habits...expect discipline...no excuses
• Gain accountability partners, mentors, coaches, trainers, etc.

  Most importantly...be patient.  Everything in good time. Take one bite at a time and don't overwhelm your mind, life or abilities with your expectations, ambition, or needs of others.   Thanks for listening today.   Please share this podcast with at least one person in your life. Help us to create change in the world.   See you tomorrow. George Wright III

Last week I posted a quote from Denzel Washington that said, "if you don't fail, you are not even trying".   I love that quote and I want to talk with you today about how you can really benefit from changing your perspective on failure.   You see it's not enough to just be willing to fail your way forward.   You have to be willing to try...fail...tray again.    Take risks.  Dream Big.  Be willing to be made fun of.   But most of all...if you don't try, then you will be guaranteed 100% to fail.   Have a great week.  Talk tomorrow.

This week we are on the 7th Key Strategy to CYUD...Discovering Your Life's Purpose   When was the last time you thought about that topic...Your Purpose? These are important topics and discussion you should be having with yourself... ...What's My Life's Purpose ...What should I really be doing with my Purpose in Life & Business I've found in my life that it's super Important to Organize Your Life Around a Purpose ...without purpose life is out of control ...with purpose you can steer the right direction There are so many benefits of purpose ...life purpose brings peace of mind ...gives you inspiration to make your individual goals cohesive ...creates structure for your goals and daily activities   Does everyone have a purpose inside them?...Yes Can you have more than one purpose?...Absolutely Can your purpose change over time?...Yes   I believe it is important to learn and develop your purpose, so you do not just blindly adopted others purpose (people or companies)   So, what is your purpose and how to do identify it? Well, purpose can feel like a calling inside you. ...might be difficult to pin point, but you recognize it when you see it. ...most likely you do have a feeling or direction already.   The Key is learning to organize your life (align it) around your purpose That's when you see some changes start to happen with your fulfillment and results   Don't chase the PERFECT Life Purpose...there isn't one.   Some part of you already know the direction of your purpose. But, if your purpose still feels hidden in your subconscious... ...its time to start being proactive and take action around your feelings ...otherwise your conscious mind will just stay busy and distracted.   A Life's Purpose is simple: 1- a short phrase or sentence at the most 2- life's purpose is not an action plan.  it is the "reason" behind plan   Examples to become a world-class violinist to help people in need to bring joy and happiness artist might have a purpose to challenge the way people think business leaders might be to create a profitable business to impact the world   Each of these purposes' can be accomplished through creating and aligning a strategy, goal setting and consistent action in your everyday life.  The details of your plan are ultimately driven by the "reason."   Couple things to keep in mind.. -purpose is a merely a guide for living your life -you can align your life around it -it doesn't have to be your full time obsession -your purpose can change as you live life and change yourself and your circumstances   Ultimately, everyone's purpose is extremely unique because none of us has the same talents, skills, needs, concerns and ambitions and interests.   The best way to integrate your Life's Purpose into your Destiny Planning is to Create a Personal Mission Statement. ...it can be just a couple sentences you create around your purpose. ...it will help drive your thoughts, actions, and life overall.   Personal Mission Statement Exercise ...I'll post a pdf you can download in the show notes.   Questions to set you up... ...what is the purpose of your life? ...why are you here? ...what do you want to experience in life? ...how do you want to feel on a daily basis?   Personal Mission Statement Worksheet to help you guide your thoughts, create your plan, and see your Mission from several angles and perspectives...   Answer each of these questions with some careful thought.  

• My Life's Purpose is?....
• (become the best version of myself)
• My Empowering Self-Definition is?...
• (whatever my mind can conceive and believe it can achieve with focus and discipline)
• I Want My Life to be an Answer to What Question?...
• (how can i share my talents with the world and create change and impact in the world)
• My Mission in Life is?...
• (to inspire and motivate others to create and live their ultimate destiny)
• The Sort of Influence on Others I'd Like to be is?...
• (I want to inspire, influence and support the people I love and those around me)

  I hope these thoughts on Life's Purpose, Destiny and a Personal Mission Statement will help give you some direction, confidence and assistance in creating a better blueprint for your life.   Ultimately, as I said before, My goal is to help inspire you to CREATE and LIVE your ultimate destiny.   Thanks for listening today.  I'll see you again tomorrow.

Be Careful Who You Surround Yourself With   We have all heard the phrase "Your network is your net worth" You've also heard me talk about the Prosperity Principle, "Surround Yourself with Positive People".   Why do I say Positive People vs Successful People? Positive People will influence your life and provide you with far more benefits than just successful people... ...in my opinion.   In addition to positivity, inspiration, success and happiness, positive people will help you to develop more self esteem and a positive self image.   Your Self Image is also a very important ingredient to success we will cover even more in a future podcast.   Today I want to share a short audio from a mentor of mine that spoke for me several times. Always a master at motivation and positive attitude...Zig Ziglar.   Zig Ziglar always talked about being a winner... To be a winner you need to 1) Get around the right People, and 2) Develop a positive self image. I believe these things go hand in hand and I want to share a short audio of Zig Talking about these things. I hope that you find it inspirational and entertaining.  He truly is one of the greats.   Have a great day and without any further a do...here is Zig Ziglar form a speech he made at a great event.   George Wright III   Here is a link to full audio speech of Zig Ziglar.....CLICK HERE

I had a powerful thought while working out today   i was listening to a david goggins video   goggins is literally the toughest guy I’ve ever heard of   …retired navy seal…only member of US Armed forces to complete …Seal Training…US Army Ranger School…Air Force Tactical Controller Training …ultra marathons….best selling author…on and on and on…   I was listening to get a little more motivation and a kick in the butt… …been sleeping in a bit too much lately…benefits and downsides to being an entrepreneur :)   I’ve learned over the years we all have cycles of motivation in our life…ups and downs   times when you need motivation times when you need “something more”   we cycle through life our liv with different moods, circumstances, careers…   the key is to recognize exactly where you are right now and what you need...   cause there is a distinct different in types of fuel from PD and fuel from Motivation   so, where are you right now?  what do you need to get you moving right now?   let’s discuss this and clarify a couple things when it comes to fuel…   we ALL need different types of fuel at different stages of our life and biz…   and there is a difference between motivation, drive and purpose…but, we need all 3   but its also IMPORTANT to know the difference and when you need each type…   it’s sorta like a rocket…3 stages of fuel to create lift off -explain...initial, boost, cruising…   So lets start with Motivation... 1-Motivation- 1st type of fuel that usually will come from "Outside You" Goggins calls this the kindling…1 hour burn cause it doesnt last long but gets you started comes from outside you most of the time but all you need is a spark…music, video, coach, friend, external validation what motivates you the best? examples Now a word of CAUTION…stop trying change your entire life or business with motivation too many of us try to reinvent ourselves with constant motivation thats not the point of motivation…its to start the fire…its just to create a spark…   Thats why you sometimes hear thought leaders say motivation is CRAP its not sustainable….its short term…BUT it does serve a purpose …the purpose is to get you unstuck…to get you moving…to break your patterns…got it? but remember, it wont last and it will go away and leave you feeling empty and tired thats why you need to use that motivation (that Kindling) to fuel a much bigger log… …a log that is sustainable…a fuel that creates long term results... …which brings us to the topic of developing Your DRIVE...   2-Drive- 2nd type of fuel that usually comes from "Inside You" Goggins calls this the big log…10,000 hour burn this is the log you cannot start with or you would choke out the fire... this is the fuel that takes your motivation and turns it into obsession this is where you need to go from outside to inside yourself to find your “Drive” you need the spark to light the BIG log, but then you need to nurture ur Drive… …nurture and big a strong Desire and Commitment to Drive your life & biz forward. this is what will help you create more consistent energy each day this is what will help you keep your MIND in check on a constant basis this is what will keep you moving forward when your motivation goes away   to do this you need to create a vision bigger than your ability to feel comfortable this DRIVE and this OBSESSION needs to come from outside your comfort zone this is where your VISION and DREAMS come into play One of my mentors would say, When the Dream is Big Enough the Facts don't count. if you can visualize and manifest your life, this is where your DRIVE starts to take you places this is where your faith and endurance get tested, but where your biggest successes come ..this is where you start living the life you were truly meant to live...   so, get super clear on what you want your life to be like… what do you want your life to be like? what do you want your relationships, finances, health, fitness, nutrition, lifestyle to be like? get specific…get detailed…get CLEAR stop waiting till you have a plan to develop the end goal stop waiting till you can see the end of your journey to decide what the end will look like and REMEMBER, you dont need to be totally clear on the path to start moving forward you just need to be decisive and say yes and figure it out…but develop your VISION then….   become obsessed with that life…with that goal…with that vision what does obsessed mean?…it means focus on it every day…prioritize it be consistent…be relentless…be DRIVEN….DEVELOP YOUR “DRIVE” ACT IN SPITE OF YOUR MOOD   that 10,000 hour log will burn and burn…and consistency will ultimately make it a Habit and Habits take you much further than the motivation alone… Habits will take over when motivation fades away…you do this by... developing daily rituals that you Decide and Commit to doing and over time they will Drive you and you WILL become Driven   now talking about Motivation & Drive would not be complete without a discussion about… PURPOSE…I’ve seen too many people get far in their life and business only to question life   this leads us to the topic of Purpose...   3-Purpose- 3rd type of fuel that comes from focus on Others ya see, you must have a Purpose to serving others or you will not find true fulfillment Happiness, Fulfillment and true success will only come when you feel you are helping mankind …this is why when i talk about UT we say in the service of others   With this type of fuel you will find the ability to create fulfillment which fuels your soul and ultimately will create true and lasting happiness levels with this type of fuel you will feed your motivation, your drive and best of all results in your life… i encourage you to define your talents and then find the best way to serve others with them… …put a different way, you can find the needs in the market place that need to be met and meet them   Purpose will give you something to lose yourself in…its something you can truly devote your life to… …its something that other people will be inspired to to assist you with and devote their time and energy to …its something that you will lose track of time when you are doing it...   so what does all this discussion about fuel and purpose mean to you… …only you can determine where you are in your life and what you need... ..ask yourself where you are in this stage of your life… do you need motivation? do you need more drive and obsession? do you need purpose?   are you even thinking about these things or are you on Autopilot…if so, STOP… …get clear on what you need and what you are going to do TODAY to fuel yourself   find a way to wrap Motivation, Drive, Purpose and Desire all together and keep them all in check …be aware…that is the real key …be relentless…be obsessed…be great Do Hard Stuff every single day… Challenge Yourself daily… Don’t Give up… Don’t Settle…   In closing today…a good friend of mine Bill Danko (who wrote Millionaire Next door) would say… You know what’s better than being a Millionaire…Being a Happy Millionaire… …and he went on to write a second book called “Richer than a Millionaire” which i highly recommend   Stephen Covey would say...Begin with the end in Mind….I think is good advice... …start with Purpose and back it into Drive and then feed it with the spark of Motivation…   I think i you will do this, you will find much more sustained progress toward your goals….   you will be like the rocket that pushes through the atmosphere with motivation… then pushing into the space of your dreams with drive and consistency… then you will accomplish Amazing things with Purpose and Passion.   You are unbelievable…You are talented…You are Unique   Its never too late to Start Living the Life You were Meant to Live…Start today.   Thanks for listening   George Wright III   PS- Please share this message with anyone you know…it would mean a lot to me personally

Welcome back to the Daily Mastermind   Today I want to talk to you about a concept I came across the other day from Dan Sullivan and Benjamin Hardy called The Gap and The Gain...a great book on Amazon Books.   Here is the problem most High Achievers face... ...they constantly improve and achieve, but they are never satisfied.   Have you ever set a goal...worked hard for it...reached your goal, and yet wasn't totally satisfied. In fact, you just ended up setting an even higher goal..or another higher bench mark.   I'll add link in the show notes. Summary Ideas from Book

1. We all have an “ideal,” a moving target that is always out of reach.
2. When we measure ourselves against that ideal, we’re in the GAP.
3. When we measure ourselves against our previous selves, we’re in the GAIN.
4. Being in the GAIN has enormous psychological effects, including bolstering motivation, confidence, and future success.
5. Always measure backward.

  PART 1 The GAP is an attachment to something outside yourself. Its never being satisfied until you get what you WANT... ...but its never enough...leaving you always WANTING more.   The GAIN is based on knowing what you want, but knowing you don't need it to be happy. The GAIN means enjoying the journey. Create Ability to Be FREE from WANTS. Q What are your goals right now...are they all externally focused...why? Q What are some internal GAINS you can add to the list of milestones?   PART 2 Wanting external things means you are never truly in "control" because the goal posts are always moving.   By creating an INTERNAL focus, you are taking back control of your life and perspective. Internal focus and "success" means you get to set the parameters and live more present. Q How often do you compare yourself to others? Q How much time do you spend on social media? focus external   PART 3 How to get out of the GAP and get into the GAIN...practice the Stoic Philosophy... ...imagine losing something allows you to put more value on it.   Stoic imagine losing everything Stoic reflect on their mortality   Getting into the GAIN has a compound effect on your life.   PART 4 Always measure backwards. Journaling will allow you to do this effectively. KPIS should measure both forward but value backward results and progress Measuring Progress is key to enjoying the moment.   You are not the same person you were years back. Recognize the progress and it will motivate you. It will also build your confidence, self esteem and resilience rather than future taking it away.   Q What have you accomplished lately? Q What are 3 wins you can acknowledge and celebrate? Q Find ways to celebrate short term (in the present).   PART 5 Measure your wins daily. Best time is right before bed. If you are scrolling your phone or social, you are training your mind to be REACTIVE. If you are recognizing wins, you are training your mind to Proactively focus on success. Journal right before bed 3 wins daily. Pearson's Law states: When performance is measured, performance improves. When performance is measured and reported, the rate of improvement accelerates.   Journaling and accountability partners will help accelerate your success.   PART 6 Make every lesson and every experience a GAIN. Being in the GAIN is not about always being positive. Being in the GAIN is about finding ways to take every situation and make it SERVE YOU... Victim mindset vs Creator Mindset.   Are you taking responsibility and EMPOWERING Yourself... ...or are you playing the Victim and DisEmpowering Yourself?   I hope this topic has given you some fresh perspective and also given you a few strategies to work on in your own life. I truly believe that learning to measure backwards while motivating yourself to go forward is a very productive strategy for you to start implementing right away.   Thanks for listening and please like and subscribe the podcast if you haven't already.

We begin most of what we learn and study in personal development with the understanding that Your Thoughts Create Your Life, right?   Well where do your thoughts come from? ...let's really consider where they are coming from   the way i was raised people I am around environment where and how I live problems that I deal with in life   These are all sources of your thoughts, but there is much more to it than that... Most thoughts are preceded by a question... ...question about parents, life, circumstances, environment, or even problems we are facing.   Regardless, most thoughts are coming from question we are asking ourselves. ....most of the time its an internal dialogue.   The real question you need to ask yourself is... ...Are the questions you are asking Empowering or Disempowering?   First, you need to discover the types of questions you are asking yourself all day, and then you need to uncover the Primary Question you are asking yourself in life...this is KEY.   Let me give you a few examples...and how each can be positive or negative influences on your life.   What are they thinking about me? positive:  You want to create a good impression negative: You are focused on what other people think of you   How can I protect myself? positive:  You are alert to the threat of danger negative: You are focused on looking for danger all the time rather than opportunity   How can I make the company safe and profitable? positive:  You want the company to do well negative: You are playing "not to lose" rather than "to win"   How can I make it better? positive:  You want to make things better negative: Nothing is ever good enough   What is the purpose of my life? positive:  You want to know why you are here negative: You are focused on you and not others and assume you don't create purpose   The Objective of today is to compel you to... ASK A BETTER QUESTION   Great questions empower you and your life.   First remember that the construct of the question will determine whether it is empowering or disempowering...   Steps to create Great Questions:   1    Ask Empowering Questions 2    Internalize Your Questions into your subconscious mind daily live life as if an answer to a profoundly cosmic question 3    Use a Strong Imagination when asking questions Visualize solutions to problems Create inspiration for discover and self motivation 4    Don't let the limiting Opinions of others limit your imagination or questions   The Questions you ask will determine the direction of your life and the filter you use to live it.   Exercise for you to consider: What are some questions you can begin to ask about your life and world around you? What questions can you ask to improve your life, daily routine, home life, community, business? What questions are you asking yourself every day and how can reword them to be empowering? What is your primary question and is it serving YOU?   Thanks for listening today.    Please share this episode and tag me in your Stories on FB and IG.   George Wright III
