  In this lessons episode, explore how shifting mindset can break the cycle of scarcity and unlock
• 0:04
  long-term growth, discover how practicing daily gratitude builds momentum and reshapes perspective,
• 0:09
  understand why patience and persistence work together to overcome self-sabotage,
• 0:13
  and uncover how thinking beyond limits can accelerate success and expand potential.
• 0:18
  When you shifted this mindset, I'm also curious because now you teach so your vision is to help
• 0:31
  a billion people and that's a thousand times a thousand times a thousand and that makes sense
• 0:35
  and that's what your vision is right now. But for somebody who hasn't ever consumed your
• 0:40
  content or listened to you or even where your head was at when you were doing well, how do you
• 0:45
  break yourself out of the rat race so you can shift your mindset to be more in line with where
• 0:51
  you're at right now because I think that's the biggest issue. Once you're going down the rabbit hole,
• 0:55
  it's easy to pick up speed, it's easy to learn more, but it's hard to get paycheck to paycheck,
• 1:01
  trying to cover rent, you have kids, you have mortgage, I just need the better job, I need the
• 1:07
  raise, I need the promotion. So how do you get out of that mindset? With gratitude, most people take
• 1:12
  for granted what other people are wishing for. And so I use gratitude, the simple place to start
• 1:17
  is to say thank you before you wake up, say thank you before you go to bed. Most people think that
• 1:23
  they can do that. In fact, I tell you, anyone, if you want to change your life, the fastest, most
• 1:27
  proven way from the greatest thought leaders that I'm blessed to be around from Deepak Chopra to
• 1:32
  Oprah Winfrey to Sadguru to Jack Canfield and Bob Proctor, Brian Tracy, all teach gratitude.
• 1:40
  If you could say thank you for 30 straight days, it'll change your life. You will not have a
• 1:44
  different mindset. You won't have obstructions, void shortages, enough soons. You'll start to
• 1:49
  implement the ability to find the light, the love and the lessons and everything. You'll start
• 1:54
  manifesting what you want rapidly and accurately. You'll start increasing the momentum of faith in
• 1:59
  your life that the pain that you have, the setbacks, failures, the bills, all the different challenges
• 2:05
  that you have are simply pushing you to a better place instead of stopping you or punishing you.
• 2:10
  But it all starts with gratitude. But here's the saddest thing about gratitude Scott, is that it
• 2:14
  sounds so easy to say thank you for 30 straight days before you go to bed when you wake up. It took me,
• 2:20
  me, who teaches this, nine months. And so I always tell people who here thinks they can do that.
• 2:26
  Everyone raises their hand by tomorrow morning, half of the people will do it by the next three days
• 2:33
  from now, you know, nobody will be doing it. It's so difficult. And so you have to start practicing
• 2:39
  gratitude. You have to start shifting the mindset, the hard set, and what you consciously are doing
• 2:44
  to find the light, the love and the lessons. You have to start realizing the law of gravity applies
• 2:48
  to you. Even though the world's spinning, hurling and rotating at such a speed you should be thrown
• 2:53
  off of it, you're at the right place at the perfect time. You are happy, healthy, wealthy, and
• 2:59
  you need to shift your paradigm in perspective to what you're doing to interfere with it.
• 3:03
  So utilizing the law of Goya, G-O-Y-A, you got to get off your ass and instead of trying to
• 3:09
  make it happen, attaching your emotions to an outcome, you have to attach all of that energy
• 3:15
  to clearing the interference, but recognizing the needs of the ego, the need to be right, offended,
• 3:21
  separate, inferior, superior, anxious, frustrated, angry, guilty, resentful, worried,
• 3:26
  worrying's wishing for what you don't want. You have much time of motion value and money's
• 3:29
  wasted on worrying. I used to sit in law school and say, God, I hope the rules of perpetuity
• 3:34
  aren't on this test. I would say to get it again, I guess we would show up first. We're actually
• 3:38
  wishing for what we don't want. So when I can have people institute the law of gravity,
• 3:43
  institute the law of Goya, now they start to realize with that momentum, with the awareness
• 3:49
  that the law of attraction works, the law of allowance works. And so when we start with gratitude,
• 3:54
  we move to forgiveness, which leaves us to accountability, which leads us to effective
• 4:00
  communicating, effectively communicating with the greatest source of light love and lessons,
• 4:04
  appreciating what we receive, acknowledging it by giving it away, in other words,
• 4:09
  allowing us to be inspired in spirit. Gratitude, forgiveness, accountability, and inspiration
• 4:16
  will allow things to come more rapidly and accurately, which creates that momentum,
• 4:20
  which then makes things easier and easier and easier, allowing it to aggregate and accelerate
• 4:25
  on itself. And you mentioned a really interesting point, how it's so simple to just take that first
• 4:32
  step and just speak gracious and have gratitude for everything. It's in our lives, but most people
• 4:36
  don't take that step. So follow a question of that is, why do you think we're so keen on self-sabotage?
• 4:43
  What's the reason? Well, number one, it's understanding time and how things aggregate upon themselves,
• 4:50
  how they compound an interest. Let me give you an example. When we do positive things,
• 4:55
  we expect an immediate result. When we do negative things, we never think there'll be any impact
• 5:01
  on us. So, and the reason is because of time. So if I was going to start a business, for example,
• 5:07
  and I said to myself, this is going to take 20 months in order to break even on my business,
• 5:13
  to get profitable. Well, the hardest part to understand is, if I do all the right things,
• 5:18
  it'll take about 90% of the time just to get to a point where we can be aware that we've even made
• 5:25
  progress. So what happens in 18 months of the 20 months? People tell you're wasting your time,
• 5:31
  you have doubts, self-sabotage, because we don't see the result. So 99% of the people get in their
• 5:39
  own way, create interference between them and what's actually going to happen, and they quit.
• 5:44
  Here's even sadder part. Everything doubles upon itself under the theory of 72, Einstein
• 5:50
  compound interest theory. So at 18 months, you finally see a minimum result. Now you're really
• 5:56
  doubting it because you're like, I've worked 18 months, I'm never going to get there in 20 months.
• 6:01
  Well, in month 19, you get to 50% of the way there. You've doubled the percentage, but yet in
• 6:07
  the human aspect, the perception and mental disability of self-sabotage, this is when we grab on
• 6:13
  to what's missing, what we don't want and what other people think. And another 99% of the 1%
• 6:19
  quit at 19 months, even though if they could see reverse, they'd realize they're almost there.
• 6:25
  And of course, those who have the enjoyment of the consistent persistent pursuit of their potential,
• 6:30
  that they've instituted faith as their currency, that know that they're happy, healthy,
• 6:34
  wealthy and worthy, they get there in 20 months, they get to profitability. Here's the best part.
• 6:39
  In month 21, you get 200%. In month 22, 400%. So the key to self-sabotage is to understand that
• 6:47
  I'm enjoying the pursuit. I am not attaching the pursuit to an end, which may or may not make me
• 6:55
  happy. And when we learn to be happy by finding the light, the love, and the lessons, by being
• 6:59
  consistent and persistent in the pursuit of our potential, not allowing time to aggregate and
• 7:04
  compel or to resist ourselves, instead realizing that sooner or later at the right place of the
• 7:09
  perfect time, if I utilize the law of Goia, the law of attraction and allowance will bring
• 7:14
  exactly what I want or even better at the right place at the perfect time.
• 7:20
  One thing that you also speak about often is, actually, no, I want to first touch on one thing
• 7:26
  in terms of faith. You mentioned faith a lot. And I actually thought this was an interesting
• 7:30
  question because I hear a lot of people speak about the most successful habits of high performers,
• 7:37
  entrepreneurs, individuals. But you mentioned faith as one of the things that is sort of like that
• 7:42
  North Star metric for success. Is faith the most important mindset habit thing that you have to
• 7:53
  adhere to if you want to be successful, or are there more tangible things like grit,
• 7:58
  perseverance, tenacity? What is your take on those habits that will actually get you to the
• 8:04
  finish line and then some? Yeah, I think there's a reconciliation about 50-50 between patience and
• 8:09
  persistence. And so faith will give you patience, persistence will make it happen. The problem is
• 8:16
  when you're persistent, you're going to make mistakes, failures, and setbacks are going to occur.
• 8:20
  Pain is going to be the indicator that you're learning and growing and expanding and propelling
• 8:25
  yourself to a better place. Faith is what allows you to see that pain setbacks, failures,
• 8:31
  as progress, not punishment. And therefore, pain and persistence and patience are so closely tied
• 8:39
  together that without the law of Goya, without persistence, you'll never get there. And without faith,
• 8:45
  you'll never get there because if you stick into the learning curve or the learning zone,
• 8:50
  and without faith, you'll quickly enter the anxiety zone which you'll feel like you're being
• 8:55
  punished and you'll go back down to your comfort zone. And if you do have faith when you're
• 9:00
  persistent and you're out in the learning zone and you get to the anxiety zone, you'll continue
• 9:05
  to tread forward and just get better at what you do. And things get easier and easier. They accelerate,
• 9:11
  they grow and compound on themselves. So keep doing the right things. Being kind is one of them.
• 9:16
  So faith and persistence are the 50-50 combination necessary to make it.
• 9:24
  And one other concept that you speak about, which I thought was interesting, which I've never
• 9:27
  heard of before, is the world of infinity plus one. So explain to me what that is because I've
• 9:35
  this, you know, enough interviews. You start to hear threads of similarities between, you know,
• 9:39
  different people and how they teach over success, but I've never heard this before. So explain
• 9:44
  what this is, how you came to the conclusion this was something that should be practiced and
• 9:48
  how to actually practice it. Well, you know, as I moved into the world of abundance,
• 9:51
  I realized what infinity was and what unlimited, unlimited, like more than enough of everything
• 9:57
  for everyone. And I started challenging my own perspectives, the world that I lived in.
• 10:03
  If I truly was in an abundant world that had no limits, it reminded me when I was five years old
• 10:08
  and I got into arguments with my siblings and they would, you know, well, you know, 10, oh,
• 10:14
  really, 12, oh, 20, 100, oh, infinity, oh yeah, infinity plus one, whoa, infinity plus two.
• 10:23
  And so I started realizing I was asking for crumbs that as big as my dream and my mission of
• 10:29
  empowering over a billion people to be happy, I meet Saad Guru, who by the way is going to be on
• 10:34
  the first episode with Cameron Diaz of office hours, you know, on Bloomberg television and Amazon,
• 10:39
  but he's an infinite, he truly gets it because he almost mocked me for thinking too small when I
• 10:45
  said I'm going to empower over a billion people to be happy. He's like, well, I'm empowering the
• 10:49
  whole world. It may take me multiple lifetimes, but I'm glad you're going to take at least a
• 10:53
  billion people for me, Dave. I only got 6.4 billion others. Well, I started thinking Saad Guru's
• 11:00
  in infinity plus one. He lives in limitlessness in infinity. And I had to do that with respect of
• 11:05
  all man-made constructs, time, money, all the things that we have built to be a reality in the man-made
• 11:11
  construct of light, meaning the time that it takes a particle of light to get from the sun to the
• 11:16
  earth, 186,000 miles per second. This cannot create the construct of what, my imagination. It can
• 11:23
  create a construct for my reality, but I like my reality to surpass other people's imagination.
• 11:28
  I see it as a key indicator that I'm thinking in infinity plus one when people laugh at me,
• 11:34
  scoff at me, make fun of me, tell me that that's crazy or impossible. The same way I would have
• 11:38
  if Jeff Bezos 25 years ago would have told me selling books out of his garage that he was going
• 11:43
  to be the richest man on earth and make a trillion bucks. I would have thought crazy, but no,
• 11:49
  he's living in infinity plus one. He understands abundance, limitlessness. And that's what I try to
• 11:55
  teach people to look at what you think is big right now and tell yourself plus one, I'm asking for
• 12:01
  crumbs. Thanks for tuning in. If you found this valuable, don't forget to hit that subscribe button so
