The Missing Secret Podcast

The day that Kelly Hatfield interviewed John on her podcast, she became intrigued in his 12 minute a day methodology. Implementing this she received transformative results that doubled her income in just a few short months. This is Kelly’s story about her transformation and how she and John partnered in their human performance company, Think It Be It.  Learn how together they teach fellow entrepreneurs how to work smarter, not harder all through the integration of science into their lives.

About the Hosts:

John Mitchell

John’s story is pretty amazing. After spending 20 years as an entrepreneur, John was 50 years old but wasn’t as successful as he thought he should be. To rectify that, he decided to find the “top book in the world” on SUCCESS and apply that book literally Word for Word to his life. That Book is Think & Grow Rich. The book says there’s a SECRET for success, but the author only gives you half the secret. John figured out the full secret and a 12 minute a day technique to apply it.

When John applied his 12 minute a day technique to his life, he saw his yearly income go to over $5 million a year, after 20 years of $200k - 300k per year. The 25 times increase happened because John LEVERAGED himself by applying science to his life.

His daily technique works because it focuses you ONLY on what moves the needle, triples your discipline, and consistently generates new business ideas every week. This happens because of 3 key aspects of the leveraging process.

John’s technique was profiled on the cover of Time Magazine. He teaches it at the University of Texas’ McCombs School of Business, which is one the TOP 5 business schools in the country. He is also the “mental coach” for the head athletic coaches at the University of Texas as well.

In this episode, John introduces the idea that you have to hear something seven times BEFORE it fully registers. This issue has come up because John relates to Kelly a situation with a couple of new clients for think it be it. John explains that the most significant thing ever learned in his life was that 95% of his daily actions and thoughts are unconscious. That was so significant because from reading think and grow Rich, he realized that his daily actions determine his success in each area of his life. Therefore if 95% of his daily actions are unconscious, if he’s not controlling his unconscious daily actions, he’s playing the game of life at 25% of his potential. John was mystified as to why people couldn’t repeat that back to him once he explained that to them. John’s assumption was that they have to hear it seven times before it really registers. Kelly gives some great insight into this. It may be that people just aren’t ready to hear the message. And some people never will hear the message because they don’t have a growth mindset. They’re not open to new ideas. Towards the end of the podcast John talks about a new client who after a few times of John saying it to her started repeating it back to him in emails. Mission accomplished.

In this episode John and Kelly talk about the importance of one’s morning routine. In fact, John says that a person’s morning routine will determine their success in life. That one thing more than anything else. And he talks about the think it be it 12 minute a day technique. John and Kelly’s morning routine is simply applying the 12 minute a day technique to their respective lives. Reading the succinct articulation of their life from the life GPS template each day. John talks about how simple the concept is. Step one is you create immense clarity about your life. Exactly the person you want to be, exactly what you want to accomplish, and precisely how you can achieve your clearly defined goals. Then step two is feed that clarity to yourself each day – using the think it be it template. That’s what makes everything succinct so it only takes 12 minutes a day to read. And then the third step. After 21 days of feeding that clarity to yourself each day, it then influences your daily thoughts and actions. And those upgraded daily actions then create the life you want. Powerfully simple. John and Kelly laugh about why people can’t get what seems to be so profoundly simple.

In this episode, John introduces a special guest - the legendary Jeffrey Gitomer. Jeffrey is in the speaker’s Hall of Fame and is the king of sales. Literally the king of sales. The most prolific and respected authority on selling in the United States today. John met Jeffrey when he was 41 years old. And Jeffrey gave John some great advice. Turn your car into a mobile University. Unfortunately, John didn’t immediately figure out how to do that. But a few years later, he did. By creating a system for personal growth. During this conversation between John and Jeffrey, they go over the things I wish I knew about success when I came out of college. John starts off the discussion saying the thing he wished he had known is how most people that you are competing against are not that sharp. Most people are not very organized, don’t grow intellectually, don’t set aside time to think on a weekly basis. Don’t impact their mindset – and live with a negative inner voice. And don’t control their daily actions, 95% of which are unconscious. These are all things that are taught in the think it be it methodology. John points out that when you do these things and other people don’t, you’re at a tremendous advantage in life over your competition. Later in the discussion John asked Jeffrey why he’s been successful. And then John articulates his observations about why Jeffrey has been successful. 

About the Guest:

Jeffrey Gitomer is known as the King of Sales. For the past 25 years, he helped shape the concept, the voice, and the implementation of the new sale.

Jeffrey is the author of 17 best selling books. Most of his books have also been number one best sellers on NY Times and Wall Street Journal along with Amazon.com. Jeffrey's books have appeared on major best-seller lists more than 500 times and have sold millions of copies worldwide.

Jeffrey has delivered more than 2,500 customized and personalized seminars and keynotes all over the world. What are the goals for your next conference? Jeffery will exceed your expected outcome.

From Fortune 500 companies, to companies trying to earn a fortune, Jeffrey have traveled the globe helping sales teams get better at discovering buying motives. Why customers buy is one billion times more powerful than how to sell.

In this episode, John and Kelly talk about the concept of having a defined way of doing life. John opens the podcast with two questions for the audience. First, what percentage of your potential do you think you’re playing the game a life at today? Then the second question. Do you have a way of doing life? And John points out that if you don’t, as most people don’t, you’re just winging life. And the effect of that is that you live your life fear-based and reactive in light of the fact that we are all innately wired for survival. The way better way of doing life is to wire yourself for success. By rewiring your autopilot. This is based on the concept that 95% your daily thoughts and actions are unconscious, which is the foundation of think it be it. During this podcast John and Kelly also talk about the power of having a system. Think it be it is a system for doing life. And within that system, there are other systems like for being organized and for personal growth. The end result of the think it be it system, which is truly a success formula, is it gives a person and an edge in life. An advantage. And you need an edge in life otherwise you get the average life.

In this episode, John and Kelly talk about how a person’s inner world determines their outer world. This topic was inspired by John listening to Tony Robbins on the impact theory podcast. In this episode John mentions that you live up or down to your identity. Most people create their identity by default. And one’s identity is determined by the stories you tell yourself. Kelly mentions that this is so closely aligned to what think it be it is all about. Which is you create your identity first on paper. Exactly the person you want to be, exactly what you want to accomplish, and precisely how you achieve your clearly defined goals. Then you feed that identity to yourself 12 minutes a day, using the think it be it template. After approximate 30 days, your subconscious mind accepts that identity and then your subconscious mind begins influencing your unconscious daily thoughts and actions automatically without thinking. Then those upgraded daily actions create the life you want. Powerfully simple. It relates back to exactly what Tony Robbins was talking about. You either live up or down to your identity. Way better to create the identity you want rather than having it created by default. John also talks about how in your identity you need a compelling future. You gotta be telling yourself a story that is a compelling future. To wrap up this episode John explains that today with AI it is projected that lots of people in the 2030s will have a chip implanted in their head to access the Internet solely from the thoughts. But it’s noted that today, there is a bifurcation in society. Between the people that have control over themselves, and the people that don’t. And most people don’t have control over themselves. But what advantage for those that do. Think it be it is the methodology by which a person gains control over themselves.

In this episode, John and Kelly talk about the concept of becoming more enlightened intellectually. John explains that when he looks back on his life, he sees that enlightenment came from learning things from other people. As an example, one of the first things he learned about life was from his dad. His dad was very hard-working. So John embraced the idea of being hard-working. Then when John was 19, he read the book psycho Cybernetics. Had a big impact on his self-image. Then when John was 27, he discovered his unique talent. He could take the complex and make it simple. He learned this from one of his CPA clients. Then John goes on to tell a story about when he was 41. Met with a gentleman by the name of Jeffrey Gittomer. Jeffrey taught John the power of learning from other people. And turning his car into a mobile university. Then at 50, John’s life was transformed by reading the book think and grow Rich. And appreciating that 95% of a person’s daily actions are unconscious. Understanding that one thing transformed his life. Then Kelly went through her life thinking about incidences where her life was changed from learning from other people. The take away from all this is that your level of enlightenment has progressed from learning from other people. But to really do that effectively, you can’t just have the intention to do that. Rather, you have to create an actual SYSTEM. And when you create such a system, then you articulate that system in your 12 minute a day visualization.

In this episode, John and Kelly talk about the concept of the perfect mindset. John is teaching one of the stars of the University of Texas basketball team think it be it. And he is creating the athlete’s perfect mindset. But this applies to anyone as well. And here are the components of the perfect mindset. First, do your best. And defined in detail what that is. Secondly embrace and enjoy the process. You become great from repetition and hard work. Third, be your biggest supporter. With the attitude that you can accomplish anything you set your mind to. Fourth, learn from your mistakes and setbacks and treat everything as feedback. Fifth when you’re playing your sport, be in the moment, trust your training. Six, have a higher gear. In crunch time, you need to go to a higher level mentally. And seventh, understand how the human mind works. And appreciate that 95% your daily actions and thoughts are unconscious. Therefore if you’re not controlling those unconscious daily actions, you’re playing the game of life at 10% – 20% of your potential. As the conversation went on, Kelly had some great additions. You always want to be a grower, who is constantly evolving. You want to also define what moves the needle and focus on that. And you want to be someone who emits a positive energy. And as you can see, this perfect mindset would apply to anyone as well as an athlete. 

About the Hosts:

John Mitchell

John’s story is pretty amazing. After spending 20 years as an entrepreneur, John was 50 years old but wasn’t as successful as he thought he should be. To rectify that, he decided to find the “top book in the world” on SUCCESS and apply that book literally Word for Word to his life. That Book is Think & Grow Rich. The book says there’s a SECRET for success, but the author only gives you half the secret. John figured out the full secret and a 12 minute a day technique to apply it.

When John applied his 12 minute a day technique to his life, he saw his yearly income go to over $5 million a year, after 20 years of $200k - 300k per year. The 25 times increase happened because John LEVERAGED himself by applying science to his life.

His daily technique works because it focuses you ONLY on what moves the needle, triples your discipline, and consistently generates new business ideas every week. This happens because of 3 key aspects of the leveraging process.

John’s technique was profiled on the cover of Time Magazine. He teaches it at the University of Texas’ McCombs School of Business, which is one the TOP 5 business schools in the country. He is also the “mental coach” for the head athletic coaches at the University of Texas as well.

In this episode, John and Kelly talk about the concept that success is something you attract, rather than something you chase. By being the type of person that does attract success. As Kelly points out, BE then DO. John makes the analogy of someone trying to catch a butterfly. It’s very elusive. Just like success. But if you become the person that you need to be in order to be successful, you will attract success. Kelly talked about the idea of envisioning the best version of yourself 10 years from now. And envisioning what you would have accomplished. Then seeing the type of person you would need to be in order to attain that level of success. It’s a great analogy. Putting yourself in a third-party position to see the person you need to be in order to attract the success you want is a fundamental concept. In this podcast John also points out the power of the think it be it method. Your defining exactly the person you want to be, exactly what you want to accomplish, and precisely how you can achieve your clearly defined goals. Then you feed that to yourself every day using the think it be it template. Since 95% of a person’s daily thoughts and actions are unconscious, when you feed that to your subconscious mind that’s who you actually become. Your subconscious mind makes you into what you’re feeding it. Powerfully simple. The science of leveraging yourself.

In this episode, John and Kelly talk about the concept of listening. The art of understanding before making the effort to be understood. Recently John interviewed the athletic director at the University of Texas for his weekly program for the 18 head coaches in the athletic department. The athletic director’s big message was that he was refining the art of really listening. It’s interesting because as the athletic director, usually he’s in the position of telling people what to do. But he has realized that to get his message across, he’s got to convey to his audience that he listens to them. And that they feel heard. Then John posed the question to Kelly. She in a similar position to the athletic director. As the CEO of her company, she’s got a message to convey. But she also has to listen. Kelly had some great insights on this. She says it’s so important to make people feel seen and understood. Once that happens, they listen to her message. And to conclude the episode John and Kelly talk about how the think it be it 12 minute day methodology causes them to be better listeners. To try to understand before we try to be understood.
