This week’s guest is John Mitchell. John spent 20 years as an entrepreneur earning in the low six figures when something drastic happened. He created what is today recognized as the “Top Practical Application in the World” of the legendary book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.

When John applied his technique to his own life, he saw his income skyrocket to over $5 million a year. The 20 times difference happened because his 12 minute daily process “Think It Be It” led to him simply operating every day at a higher level than he ever had before, and naturally that change showed up in his income. The science behind his technique was profiled in a Time Magazine cover story, and now he’s here to share it with us today.
