  • Patience With Other People

    In this episode, John and Kelly talk about the idea that people can frustrate you. This episode John explains something that happened in the state of Texas recently that really frustrated him. The state legislature impeached the Atty. Gen. But in the trial, he was acquitted. Despite the evidence being overwhelming that he was corrupt. John talks about how the level of enlightenment of some people can be so frustrating. John mentions that everyone is a function of their genetics coupled with what has come into their consciousness. Those two factors determine one’s enlightenment. John also mentions that one’s enlightenment ultimately determines one’s success in life. Essentially that we get what we deserve. Kelly talks about how critical it is to seek to understand before trying to be understood. During the episode John and Kelly also talk about the importance of growing intellectually. Making sure that growth is strategic relative to what you want to accomplish.

    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.

  • There Is A Human Energy Crisis – Caused By Negative Self Talk And Self Inflicted Stress

    In this episode, John and Kelly talk about the idea that there is a human energy crisis. Created by negative self talk and self-inflicted stress. This topic comes from the best-selling author Jon Gordon. Who is the Godfather of positivity and has an organization called Positivity U. As the mental coach for the University of Texas 18 head coaches, John shared this content from Jon Gordon with them. And one of the things that Jon Gordon said that was powerful was that people need to evaluate their thoughts. And examine if their thoughts are true or not true. Often times negative thoughts are not true. And Gordon has a great line. You don’t hang out with liars, so don’t let lies hang out in your head. That’s powerful. But during the conversation, John pointed out something that in his opinion the entire mindset industry misses. So many people in the mindset field have this strategy or that strategy. Just like evaluating whether your thoughts are true or not three true. But they’re missing a very fundamental point. 95% of a person’s daily thoughts and actions are unconscious. And you can only influence the unconscious with repetition. It doesn’t care about logic. And the point of sharing this is that when you tell people to have this strategy or that strategy, inevitably it goes in one ear and out the other. All you’re affecting is his or her intention. The only thing that will actually work is rewiring one’s autopilot with repetition. So if you want to evaluate your thoughts as to whether they are true or not, you’ve got to feed that to your subconscious on a daily basis. Only that repetition will drive it home. Otherwise, in one ear and out the other. To finish up this episode John and Kelly point out that the life you experience and the success you have is determined by the ongoing thoughts going on in your head. And the irony of human nature is that only 2% of people do anything to impact their mindset. And that’s John and Kelly’s mission to overcome that dichotomy.

  • Find The Emotional Hook – The Key To Marketing (Encore)

    In this episode John and Kelly talk about how important it is in marketing to identify the emotional hook with your customers. This is absolutely the most important thing you must do in marketing. Everything flows from there. Kelly talks about recently getting a big client. She discusses the emotional hook that landed the whale. John then talks about the emotional hook with regards to Think it Be it. He first asked people if they are a high achiever. This positions the customer for what’s to follow. Then he explains that most people are playing the game of life at 10% – 20% of their potential. For someone that has self identified as a high achiever, that’s a big problem. That’s the emotional hook. And this illustrates something else is important. Really understanding your target customer. Kelly was able to influence her new client by being blunt and asking questions rather than doing a lot of talking. And from those questions, she fed the new client the emotional hook. As John and Kelly wrap up this episode, John talks about how to make this idea of focusing on the emotional hook with customers using the TIBI 12 minute day technique.

  • Life Is A State Of Mind

    In this episode, John and Kelly talk about the idea that life is a state of mind. Therefore it’s critical to influence one’s mindset in one’s morning routine. In this episode John walks us through the various aspects of life. Your health – and how that is a state of mind regarding exercise, eating right, and sleep. How your marriage is a state of mind. Being flexible, patient, and thoughtful to your spouse. And making them feel loved and appreciated. Then career is discussed. John and Kelly pointed out that the entrepreneur is the biggest factor in any business. The business is a reflection of what’s going on in the entrepreneur mind. More specifically the owner’s understanding what moves the needle. Also understanding their unique strategy for success. As well as the linchpin issue to go to the next level. During this podcast the question is posed as to whether people are thinking about their mindset. Kelly points out that the vast majority of people are just getting up and doing life. Not even thinking about their mindset. Only 2% of people do that. At the end of the podcast John points out the ideal morning routine to impact one’s success in life. It takes 12 minutes a day. Feeding the succinct articulation of your life to yourself each day.

  • Key Things To Know To Be An Entrepreneur

    In this episode, John and Kelly talk about the key things you must know in order to be a successful entrepreneur. John explained that the first thing you have to do is buckle up emotionally. Have the attitude that nobody screws me and I don’t screw anybody else. John learned this the hard way at 30 when he was launching as an entrepreneur. Some guys he was in partnership with took John’s idea and screwed him. Fortunately, John rebounded quickly and was better for learning that lesson. But the Takeaway is you have to be hard-nosed. Then Kelly talks about the traits required to be an entrepreneur. You have to be driven. Which only about 10% of people are. You also can’t take no for an answer.

    Later in the podcast John talks about the skills and habits to be a successful entrepreneur. Starting with embracing the idea of being a marketing expert yourself. Most people that own businesses turn that side of the business over to 3rd party marketing company. Big mistake. While it makes sense to have someone that helps you execute the strategy, the entrepreneur absolutely positively has to be involved in the marketing in order for the company to be successful. Lots of entrepreneurs miss this. Kelly then goes on to say that a key part of being successful is constantly growing. Learning from the expertise of others. Bringing into your head the wisdom of marketing, of employee empowerment, of organization and other critical things required to be a successful entrepreneur. And John explains that you have a system of personal growth that makes it consistent every week.

  • How The Human Mind Works

    In this episode John and Kelly talk about how the human mind works. John mentioned that is surprising how many people saw their life around once they understood how the human mind works. As an example, Tom Billeau of impact theory attributes his massive success to learning how the human mind works. So does Tony Robbins. As does both John and Kelly. Interesting how many people say that. And in this episode John points out that he can explain how the human mind works in under three minutes. And then over an additional two minutes he can explain how to take that information and apply it so that you can create the exceptional life. During this podcast John and Kelly discussed the fact that only about 2% of people do anything to materially impact their mindset. And that 2% is also the 2% that is the most successful. There is a correlation.

  • Tuning Into Reality In Order To Be More Successful (Encore)

    In this episode John and Kelly talk about how success comes down to tuning into reality. What is reality telling you regarding your business, your romantic relationship, your health. What is the unvarnished results you’re getting in each area of your life. So often people want to ignore what’s really happening. John talks about listening to an episode of Impact Theory. Where the host Tom Bilyeu says that reality is the most efficient way things operate. John gives the example of this regarding marriage and also regarding marketing your business. In this episode John talks about how tuning into reality has changed Think it Be it over the last couple years. And Kelly talks about how tuning in reality has impacted her business Ingenuity Advantage. As John and Kelly wrapped things up, they show how to apply tuning into reality so it shows up in your thoughts and actions automatically. They give the full way using the Think it Be it 12 minute a day technique as well as the lite version.

  • What Does Doing Your Best Mean

    In this episode John and Kelly talk about the concept of doing your best. In this episode you learn that when John was 40 years old, he started focusing on doing his best because he saw that was the only thing he really controlled. But his understanding of doing his best was simply getting up early each day – 5:30 AM. But once he got into his 50s, his understanding of doing his best greatly expanded. To essentially five things. Effort (getting up early), continually growing and learning consistently each week in an area that was strategic relative to what he wanted to accomplish. Also defining the two or three things that move the needle. Also being self-aware. And the fifth one was tuning into reality – what is reality telling him. What a difference in results John saw by having that expanded understanding of what doing his best really meant. As Kelly dove into this topic, at about the age of 40 she became more focused on defining what doing her best meant. For her, it came down to establishing immense clarity. Exactly the person she wanted to be, exactly what you want to accomplish, and precisely how she was going to achieve your clearly defined goals. So clarity was the key to doing her best. At the end of the podcast John explains how to apply the concept of doing one’s best to the think it be a 12 minute day technique. In your template, you simply define what doing your best is. When you read that each day, it gets wired in your autopilot. 

    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.

  • This Won’t Work on Me (Encore)

    When people are introduced to a new strategy to up their success, oftentimes they think it won’t work on them, and for good reason. Nothing to that point has really worked. So why should they believe the new thing is going to work? The concepts behind the Think It Be It program and the 12 minutes a day methodology are based on science, and the fact is they can work on anyone!

    John and Kelly discuss the limiting beliefs people have when they are facing new strategies for success, why they fail, and how with the leveraging of science you can find the clarity in your life that you need to take yourself and your business to the next level.

  • How To Have A Great Romantic Relationship (Encore)

    In this episode John and Kelly talk about how to have a great romantic relationship by rewiring your autopilot. So the right actions happen automatically without thinking. During this podcast they talk about some key behaviors that create a great romantic relationship. Such as having a weekly relationship talk with your spouse. How to make yourself “flexible, patient, and thoughtful” automatically without thinking. During this podcast, John and Kelly revealed the one thing that once they learned it, their lives were never the same. That 95% of their daily actions are unconscious. Therefore you don’t control your daily actions. You only control your intentions. And as this relates to having a great romantic relationship, lots of people have the intention. But the only way to create the behaviors for having a great romantic relationship happens by rewiring your autopilot. During this podcast John explains how to rewire your autopilot relative to your marriage or romantic relationship using the full think it be it 12 minute a day method. And Kelly explains how to do the lite version of this.
