The Missing Secret Podcast

In this episode John and Kelly talk about how important it is to be organized if you’re a high achiever. John and Kelly have developed an organizational system (daily to do form and weekly to do form) that they think is great. There’s three components to the system. You plan your day the night before, you time block your day, and you identify your top three priorities each day. The key is to have a great system. Using their daily to do form, the template lines out each day by every half hour. To do’s are scheduled at a specific time. Then a person identifies their top three priorities for the day and highlights those priorities on the form. John and Kelly also talk about the weekly form – which has six or seven categories that are customized to each person. During the podcast John and Kelly also talk about the importance of making the morning all about your agenda and the afternoon for being responsive to other people. The afternoon is when you return phone calls and as well as emails. And at the end of the podcast they talk about how their organizational system is reinforced in the think it be it 12 minute day technique.

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, let's revisit the episode, "The $5 Million Secret – How to Rewire Your Autopilot".

Do you think you can change your outcomes in life and success with just 12 minutes a day? John and Kelly are here to tell you that you can. Most people perceive that they control their daily actions, but they don’t. They only control their intentions. It is this conflict between conscious and sub-conscious thoughts that limit the ability to truly leverage yourself to success. Join Kelly and John as you learn the false beliefs many people have regarding success and how your daily actions are controlled by your “autopilot”.

Highlights:

• Everyone is innately wired for survival, which causes 90% of our thoughts to be fear-based and reactive. This is exactly the opposite of how we need to be if we want to be productive, creative, and happy.
• 95% of your daily actions are subconscious, so our daily actions are controlled by our autopilot.
• This is significant because the cumulative effect of your daily actions determines your success in each area of your life.
• To have a higher level of success, you have to rewire your autopilot and when you do, you play the game of life at your full potential.

In this episode John and Kelly talk about the impact of self talk. John recently got back from visiting in person with the mental coach for the USC football team. His name is Tim Kight. He’s probably the top sports psychologist in the country. In our last episode John explained one of Tim Kight’s concepts. That an event happens, then there’s a four step process. First you focus on the event, or a part of the event. Then self talk is generated. Then emotion is felt. And then an action is taken. John shares a recent situation where he saw the four components play out in his life. Then Kelly talks about when she turned 50. And how that event generated self talk, which then generated emotions which then generated action. Understanding this formula is so beneficial as things happen in life. It also shows the power of the proper self talk and how you can refine self talk. As this podcast winds up, John and Kelly both talked about how things work out for the best in life. Sometimes your disappointed with things. You want a certain outcome and it doesn’t happen. But both John and Kelly have discovered over time that things tend to work out for the best. You may not understand it at the moment, but there seems to be a guiding force in life that makes things work out for the best.

In this episode, John and Kelly talk about how the human mind works. John recently got back from visiting in person with the mental coach for the USC football team. His name is Tim Kight. He’s probably the top sports psychologist in the country. In his first year at USC he turned them around from four and eight the prior year to 11 and three. John talks about how the human mind works. And said that today there is a bifurcation in society. Between people that have control over themselves and those that don’t. And as proof of that, John outlines what the average life looks like in America today. 67% of people don’t have $400 to the name. Two thirds of people are either obese or seriously overweight. And only 35% of people, according to Gallup, are happy. And only one in 10 people has a great romantic relationship. If you really think about it, all that’s a function of control over oneself. In this podcast John and Kelly note that there are two things everyone has to overcome. First, everyone is innately wired for survival. And that causes the vast majority of your thoughts to be fear-based and you’re reactive. Second thing everyone must overcome is that 95% of a person’s daily actions are unconscious. And that’s significant because one’s daily actions determine your success in life. Additionally John explains how the human mind works. Conscious mind sets your intention and is influenced by logic. Subconscious mind controls your everyday actions and is influenced only by repetition. Here’s an example. Let’s say you want to lose weight. Conscious mind sets the intention to lose weight based on the logic of the health benefits. But the reason people don’t lose weight is not from lack of intention. Rather, it’s from not influencing the part of their brain that controls your daily actions. Your subconscious mind. And the subconscious mind is only influenced by repetition. And that’s why the think it be a 12 minute a day technique is so powerful. As you feed the succinct articulation of your life to yourself each day. That’s the repetition you need to create the desired consistent daily actions. During this podcast John then explains what he learned from Tim Kight, the USC mental coach. He says that once an event happens, some occurrence, the first thing a person does is focus on it. Become aware of it. That’s followed by self talk. Which then creates emotion. And then the emotion creates action. Tim has a powerful formula: E+R=O. Event plus response equals outcome. Your response to events in life determines your success in 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 talked about how to have a great marriage. The Einstein of marriage in the United States is John and Julie Gottman. Based on their extensive research, they truly are the top in their field of marriage and relationships. Based on their research, we all have unconscious tripwires from childhood wounds. It is critical that you know your spouse’s childhood wounds as well as your own. When you understand these, your relationship goes to a deeper level. John also mentions that you have to have deep conversations with your spouse. That’s the path to a better relationship. As John and discuss the matter further, they mentioned the idea of repair. When you have a disagreement or fight with your spouse, each spouse should be aware of the concept of repair. Which means after reflection, quickly coming back to your spouse so you can repair a problem. Get you back on track after tension. The people that understand this concept and practice it have good relationships. As this podcast wrapped up John mentioned that the Gottman’s have a new book around the idea of having eight dates to improve your relationship. Before each date, you prepare for a specific topic. Kelly and John are going to test this out with their respective spouses.

In this episode John and Kelly talk about the stories we tell ourselves impact our behaviors. These stories are always playing in the background in the subconscious mind. And they drive our behaviors as well as our fears. Oftentimes we need to take a hard look at these stories and see if they are serving us. Often they are not. So you need to go back and look at what actually happened in each story and then may be reinterpret the Takeaway. When you do that, the story changes and it affects your behaviors. John talks about the power of the think it be it methodology. Where you are thinking two times a week, deep thinking. But also doing it in conjunction with another habit. Reading your daily visualization. The combination is powerful. The thinking allows you to identify your stories and maybe reinterpret your stories. Then once they are reinterpreted, you can reprogram yourself with your daily visualization. It’s a powerful combination.

In this episode John talked about recently watching the movie “The Book Club”. It stars Jane Fonda, Candace Bergen, Diane Keaton and Mary Steembergen. It’s about four women who are in their 60s and 70s. The romantic and sexual side of their life has dried up. But then they read the book 50 shades of gray. It re-energizes the sensual side of each one of them. When John watched this movie, he watched it through the lens of Think It Be It. The reason each of the women have lost the romantic/intimacy side of their life is because they have nothing in their life that pulled their lives forward. Like a daily visualization. They were letting themselves be innately wired for survival and doing nothing about it. The effect was as each got older, their lives were contracting. Getting smaller. They become more fear-based. More focused on the limitations than the possibilities. The net effect is it made both John and Kelly appreciate the profound value of having a daily visualization where you articulate exactly the person you want to be, exactly what you want to accomplish, and precisely how you can achieve your clearly defined goals. That’s how you create the desired life you want in the future. And that daily visualization pulls your thoughts forward. Which then creates the actions which creates the life you want. Powerfully simple.

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 human nature. How humans are wired for survival, not for success. And that plays out regarding the negatives in human nature. We tend to be self focused, we tend to be reactive. As humans, we tend to be lazy. We tend to be unfocused. Easily distracted. That’s human nature. But there is some good to human nature. We have an innate desire to help other people. And John made an interesting point. That all the negatives regarding human nature are all related to being wired for survival. By being wired for survival, that’s what kept us alive 5000 years ago when there was a danger around every corner. It causes us to be fear-based and reactive. Which is exactly the opposite of how we want to be if we want to be productive creative and happy. During this podcast John and Kelly point out that you have to intentionally and proactively override human nature if you want to be successful. And you do that through the think it be it 12 minute day morning routine.

In this episode John and Kelly talk the importance of having an intelligent plan for your life. John talked about going out to LA to see his stepson who is a musician. He is struggling to have an intelligent plan for his life regarding paying his bills. Kelly mentioned that there were times in her life where she didn’t have an intelligent plan. John said the same thing. Then John told about going to waffle house and giving the waitress at $300 tip. Along with a note that told her that he admired her. That she was hard-working and not a victim. That he bet she had an intelligent plan for her life. And at the end of the note John then went on to say “your life is going to work out. This is a message from God”. The advice to listeners was to evaluate whether you have an intelligent plan for your life. And in using our 12 minute a day methodology, you feed that intelligent plan to yourself every day. And if it doesn’t seem intelligent to you after dialing in what reality is telling you, then you change your plan.
