I’m still processing the incredible conversation I just had with Emma Churchman about Hurricane Helene’s impact on Western North Carolina. Living just outside Taylorsville myself, I witnessed the storm’s fury firsthand, but what Emma experienced in those mountains takes my breath away. When that unprecedented storm hit their community, no one could have predicted the 32-foot river surge that would cut them off from civilization for weeks.

Here’s what blows my mind: while 300 residents were completely isolated, without power or communication, Emma stepped up in an extraordinary way. With her background in trauma chaplaincy, she became the emotional anchor at their local fire station. What she discovered about how people process disaster-related trauma is going to change how we think about community recovery.

Emma walked me through the four distinct phases of trauma recovery she identified during this crisis – something nobody in disaster response has documented before. I’ve got to tell you, her insights are revolutionary. She’s now turned these observations into a comprehensive trauma recovery program that fills a massive gap in how we handle disasters.

With recovery costs hitting $53.6 billion, the road ahead is long. But Emma’s new book, The Deep End of Hope in the Wake of Hurricane Helene, isn’t just another disaster story – it’s a roadmap for any community facing overwhelming challenges. She proves that even in our darkest moments, transformation isn’t just possible – it’s inevitable if we choose to show up.

The post Finding Hope in Hurricane Helene: A Journey to Recovery appeared first on The Successful Mind Podcast.

In this episode, I dive deep into something that’s been on my mind since my recent Principia event – the fundamental relationship between money consciousness and truth-seeking. I’ll reveal how our understanding of wealth and poverty directly shapes our financial reality, and why this matters more than most people realize.

Let me be clear about something profound: there are only two types of people when it comes to money – those who are money conscious and those who aren’t. Through my own experiences and observations, I’ll show you why poverty requires no system while wealth demands strategic thinking. This isn’t just theory – I’ve lived both sides of this equation.

Here’s something that hit me recently: money only exists in human interactions. Think about that for a moment. This understanding completely challenges everything we think we know about wealth distribution and accessibility. I’ll explain why this revelation changes everything about how we approach financial success.

I share a powerful story about Trish Winkler’s remarkable success in the early 90s that opened my eyes to why loving your business model becomes crucial for sustainable wealth creation. I’ll walk you through how to recognize and break free from the programmed financial beliefs that have been limiting your potential.

Finally, I’ll explain why this isn’t just about making more money – it’s about becoming a beacon of light for others. Just as Bob Proctor passed the torch to me, I’m passing these truths to you, showing you how to maintain integrity while creating true wealth in an often-confused marketplace.

The post The Truth About Money That Nobody Tells You appeared first on The Successful Mind Podcast.

In this transformative episode of The Successful Mind Podcast, I’m revealing why learning how to ask for what you want in life is the fundamental key to achieving your dreams. Through my personal stories and practical wisdom, I’ll show you how the simple act of asking can open doors you never knew existed.

Most of us have been conditioned to believe we shouldn’t pursue something unless we know exactly how to achieve it. I’m here to challenge this limiting belief, because I’ve seen how this mindset keeps countless people trapped below their true potential. Through my own journey from bankruptcy to success, I’ll show you how asking the right questions—even without knowing the “how”—can transform your reality.

Drawing from both spiritual principles and universal laws, I explain why asking is more than just a communication tool—it’s a fundamental force for creating change. In this episode, I reveal:

• Why your imagination is receiving universal guidance

• How to identify the right people to ask

• When to shift from asking others to asking for divine guidance

• Why changing your internal perspective must precede external change

I’m sharing these actionable strategies for implementing the power of asking in your life:

• Start with a clear vision of your desired outcome

• Release the need to know “how” you’ll get there

• Ask specific questions to the right people

• Remain open to unexpected doors opening

• Continue asking as you progress to higher levels

Remember what I always say: everything you desire is already within reach. By mastering the art of asking, you activate the law of polarity and bring your dreams into reality. Start implementing these principles today to unlock your next level of success.

The post How to Ask For What You Want appeared first on The Successful Mind Podcast.

As women reach their fifties, the definition of success often undergoes a profound transformation. In this powerful episode of The Successful Mind Podcast, Amira Alvarez joins me to share her remarkable journey. Through this conversation, she reveals how successful women can reimagine their achievements and create an exquisite life in their next chapter.

Initially, Amira built a multimillion-dollar enterprise through sheer determination and hustle. However, her perspective on being unstoppable underwent a dramatic shift after turning 50. As a result, her story now challenges traditional notions of achievement while offering fresh insights into life’s second act.

The journey of redefining success after 50 begins with acknowledging both physical and emotional changes. While hormonal shifts influence women’s approach to business, simultaneously, their priorities often evolve. Consequently, traditional “hustle culture” may no longer align with their highest good.

In order to create a more fulfilling path, Amira revolutionized her business model. She transformed her approach by:

• First, shifting from an “always-on” mindset to a boutique practice

   

• Then, creating space for personal fulfillment while maintaining profitability

   

• Subsequently, designing a business model that honors evolving energy levels

   

• Finally, embracing a new definition of being “unstoppable”

Beyond traditional metrics of achievement, creating an exquisite life becomes the ultimate goal for women over 50. To achieve this, they must focus on:

• Initially, letting go of outdated success metrics

   

• Additionally, embracing wisdom as a competitive advantage

   

• Furthermore, aligning business practices with personal values

   

• Ultimately, finding deeper satisfaction in their achievements

Discovering sales influence without manipulation is the cornerstone of authentic business success. Throughout this powerful episode, we challenge traditional sales approaches that rely on pressure tactics. As a result, we reveal why true influence emerges from personal transformation rather than manipulation.

Most sales training programs teach manipulation-based techniques. However, achieving sales influence without manipulation requires a fundamentally different approach. Moreover, when salespeople unconsciously share the same limiting beliefs as their prospects, they lack the authentic influence needed to create transformation. Consequently, this episode explores how to break free from this common trap and develop genuine sales influence.

In this transformative discussion, we explore several critical elements of authentic influence:

• Why parallel belief systems between seller and prospect block authentic influence

• How being stuck in survival mode prevents transformational sales

• The critical difference between making a purchase and committing to change

• Breaking conventional rules for sales breakthrough

• Speaking to the unconscious mind of ideal clients

• The direct connection between personal growth and sales influence

• Why chasing recognition blocks authentic influence

• Attracting ideal clients through genuine transformation

Furthermore, we examine a compelling case study: From a group of 200+ salespeople who underwent the same high-level training in 1999, only one person built lasting success. Through this example, you’ll discover the crucial mindset difference that made it possible – specifically, a commitment to authentic influence rather than manipulation.

Therefore, the key to influential selling isn’t about pressure tactics or manipulation. Instead, it’s about becoming someone who has done the inner work, embraced transformation, and can authentically guide others toward their desired future outcomes.

The post Sales Influence Without Manipulation appeared first on The Successful Mind Podcast.

What “mind” are you speaking to during your sales calls?—the conscious mind or the unconscious mind? If you want to be great at sales, you have to learn to speak to someone’s unconscious mind—the emotional mind. That is where all buying decisions are made.

A sales conversation is completely different than a typical, everyday conversation. In a normal conversation, you’re talking from one person’s conscious mind to the other person’s conscious mind. But sales is different. You have to speak directly to someone’s unconscious mind and ask the person one of the most intimate questions—“What do you want?” Doing this with the right tone, in the right context, can completely transform your sales results.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• Why talking to someone’s conscious mind leads to pushback and rejection

• The 4 questions to ask during sales calls in order to speak to a person’s unconscious mind (this goes far beyond conscious resistance and taps into their emotional mind)

• How the coaching industry exploded, and now everybody wants to be a coach—and people with low self-esteem want recognition from being a coach

• How many entrepreneurs are selling in order to be seen, heard, validated, and to get their basic needs met (not to influence, or because they really feel called to do it)

• Nobody buys anything because YOU think it’s a good idea—people do things for their own reasons

• Why you must be SILENT after asking a question on a sales call, and allow the other person to experience free flow from their unconscious mind while they answer

• When your ego gets involved, you get rejected and you feel hurt by the rejection—but if you were truly there to help someone, rejection wouldn’t matter

Amazing salespeople study sales like a doctor studies medicine their whole life—they’re constantly getting better at it. If you want to get great at sales, stop speaking to someone’s conscious mind, and start speaking to their unconscious mind.

The post The Hidden Language of Sales appeared first on The Successful Mind Podcast.

Recently I taught my clients who are in The Elite Mind Program a lesson about “greatness.” I taught that every person has greatness in them, and we all have a purpose for being here. Each of us must own our greatness and train ourselves to internalize the idea that we’re a great person. Why? Because this is the starting point for everything—including starting a business, growing a business, or reaching any big goal.

I told my clients, “Tell yourself, ‘I’m a great person.’ Ask yourself, ‘What would a great person do in their life?’”

After the lesson was over, I got 10-15 text messages from them, all asking me: “How do I know I’m great?” I realized they were asking this question because it didn’t feel true to them—they didn’t have an emotional feeling inside of themselves that they could connect this statement to.

In today’s episode you’ll learn:

• How most people’s emotional state regulates their reality

• How as children, almost everyone else has authority over us until we’re a certain age

• As adults, subconsciously we’re looking for a “transition of power” so that we know once we’ve accomplished something

• At some point, you must become the authority of yourself

• How historically many cultures had rites of passage indicating substantial transitions in life—but in the West, we’ve largely gotten rid of those things

• How most people look to their past wins, losses, rights, wrongs, ups, and downs to determine how they feel RIGHT NOW—and why that’s dangerous, (because what if you don’t have a great past?)

• How our desire gives us direction in life, and how we must BECOME the person who fulfills our purpose

The truth is, we can decide at any moment that we’re great. Like God said in the Bible, “I am because I am.” This statement has tremendous power—“I am great.” It’s your responsibility and your choice as to what you’ll do with it.

You’re great because you’re great. You don’t need to justify it. You don’t need anyone else’s approval or confirmation of it.

The post Unlocking Your Inner Greatness appeared first on The Successful Mind Podcast.

Abagail Pumphrey is the owner of Boss Project, a woman-owned education company & award-winning design agency that helps you design your business around your life (not the other way around.) She started as a freelancer, built an agency, and has since created a community of entrepreneurs worldwide who are building their own online businesses. Abagail educates people on how to create more sustainability, build more revenue, and save more time behind the scenes.

In 2016, a year and a half into her business, Abagail was involved in a five-car collision that changed her life instantly. With a traumatic brain injury, she had a long five-year recovery. Forced to continue working in her business while she was recovering, she says, “I became incredibly aware of just how reliant the business I had built was on me.” Rebuilding from the ground up, Abagail designed a business that gave her more flexibility, that was less reliant on her, and could continue to thrive when life inevitably happens.

In this episode we discuss:

• How business challenges you in every possible way, especially in the beginning—and it entails personal growth

• How there are very few things we can do in business that are unchangeable—we can always pivot, change direction, make adjustments, and even potentially remove decisions we previously made

• How Abagail found herself burning out, giving every ounce of energy she had to running her business—and realizing how important it was to make her business less reliant on herself

• How making money lets you deal with problems without being consumed by the problem

• Abagail’s passion for helping people create more financial freedom, while building businesses that support the life they want—and how she helps entrepreneurs develop an “offer ecosystem” so they don’t have to compete against themselves for the same client with too many different offerings

• How business owners are look for “proof” that they can succeed—whether that’s through testimonials, sales, or their clients getting value or exceeding the goals they set

• The biggest mindset hurdle Abagail thinks people need to get past in order to create ease and flow in their business

Plus, we talk about the idea of “time freedom”—and why you don’t always have to be growing BIGGER in business (it’s all about what season you’re in).

The post Abagail Pumphrey – Boss Project appeared first on The Successful Mind Podcast.

Every decision you make represents a step forward—and every step you take is a cause set in motion. When you make a decision, this causes God or the universe to respond and meet you where you are. But if you don’t take any steps forward because you don’t know all the steps—then you’ll stay stuck where you are.

For example, if you’re looking out your living room window, the view is pretty much always the same. But if you take one step out your front door, your view changes. Every time you take a step forward, you gain a completely new view of what’s in front of you. That view is totally different, and you can see things at different angles.

Success is the same way. You must take a step forward in order for new opportunities to reveal themselves.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• Why going slower pays bigger results (e.g., when you’re hunting, if you move too fast, you’ll scare the game off)

• People often miss opportunities because they’re either making decisions to AVOID mistakes—or they’re rushing ahead, trying to get to the end result as fast as possible, while missing everything in between

• Why many entrepreneurs quit school because they realize the rules they’re given at school don’t work for their dream—they’ve got to follow a different set of rules

• The biggest rule entrepreneurs follow is that it’s okay (and actually desirable) to make mistakes

• Life isn’t about avoiding mistakes—it’s about making as many mistakes as possible and learning from them

No matter what your dream or vision is, you’ll always get what you need in order to say yes for the completion of your vision. But to do that, you must take the next step that’s in front of you.

When God moves toward you, He’s giving you the how. Your job is to take the next step. If you don’t—because you don’t know the “how”—your life won’t change. You’ll become much like the person looking out the living room window and never changing the view.
