Transcript
- 0:03Speaker 1: This is Mike Kitco and I'm a small business owner just like you.
- 0:06Speaker 1: I'll never be a hustle, horror, grind guru, but I do believe in having it all health, wealth and a life full of love.
- 0:12Speaker 1: Struggle is not the goal and sacrifice is not glamorous.
- 0:15Speaker 1: I like the path of least resistance.
- 0:18Speaker 1: It just takes a shift in mindset and the beliefs you hold.
- 0:21Speaker 1: You believe that you need to sacrifice now to have what you want later, or do you believe that you can have it all all the time?
- 0:27Speaker 1: Does your beliefs create your outcomes?
- 0:29Speaker 1: I choose to feel wealthy, successful and happy every day, and you get to choose for yourself.
- 0:35Speaker 1: Welcome to lead love, profit play, where small business owners learn and choose to have it all and choose to create success without distress.
- 0:48Speaker 1: If you've listened to this podcast long enough and listened to enough episodes, you'll hear me talk about the creation process.
- 0:55Speaker 1: Now, the creation process is, in my opinion, the baseline for why we exist as human beings.
- 1:08Speaker 1: If you've followed me at all, or if you've listened to any of the podcast, or maybe read my blogs on the website innerwealthglobalcom, or maybe you've read my book or anything but follow me on social media, you'll know that I'm a very spiritual human being, very spiritual person.
- 1:30Speaker 1: Now when I say that, what I mean is I don't believe that we're humans having a spiritual experience.
- 1:39Speaker 1: I do believe that we are spiritual beings having a human experience.
- 1:44Speaker 1: Now, the reason I'm saying this is because I don't believe that there's a coincidence or a mistake in life, in the universe.
- 1:56Speaker 1: I don't believe that life or God or the universe or whatever source energy, I don't care what the I'm a non-denominational and spiritualist.
- 2:07Speaker 1: I don't believe there are any coincidences or any mistakes in the world.
- 2:13Speaker 1: I do believe that people are their own heroes, their own villains and their own victims, and we have chosen.
- 2:27Speaker 1: We're living a life that is purposeful and meaningful.
- 2:32Speaker 1: Even the negative things, the things that we demand as negative, I believe they serve a higher purpose to help us evolve and help us grow.
- 2:40Speaker 1: Although that may sound like and I'm just painting everything with butterflies and roses and unicorns and shit, but I was sitting in a group every once a month.
- 2:53Speaker 1: There's a group of us that get together and just talk about philosophy and life and manifestation or I hate that word but we talk about deep spiritual philosophy and what we talk about is that there are no negative manifestations and I don't love that word.
- 3:15Speaker 1: I don't.
- 3:15Speaker 1: I think it's overused, but there are no negative manifestations.
- 3:20Speaker 1: Everything serves a higher purpose and everything serves to elevate and evolve and to increase your capacity to recognize that you are a divine, spiritual, blessed, infinite, eternal, powerful, abundant soul having a human experience.
- 3:43Speaker 1: And that's why I say it's spiritual being living a human experience instead of a human having a spiritual experience.
- 3:50Speaker 1: So, anyway, when… when I think about the creation process, I think that's what we're here to learn, as you know, in this human form.
- 4:06Speaker 1: So we have a mind, we have a body, but we are in a soul.
- 4:11Speaker 1: We are the consciousness, we are the awareness that is looking through these eyes and we are the awareness that's experiencing sensory input.
- 4:22Speaker 1: You know taste, touch, feel, smell.
- 4:25Speaker 1: We are the awareness, we are the consciousness within that's experiencing everything that's going on in the world.
- 4:36Speaker 1: But we are the awareness.
- 4:38Speaker 1: We are not the mind and the body.
- 4:40Speaker 1: And this is an important like.
- 4:43Speaker 1: This is why you know your stories and your beliefs are so impactful in your life is because you're making up through your stories and through your beliefs.
- 4:54Speaker 1: You're making up what you will experience in the world and you can experience whatever you want in the world, and you experience that through your beliefs and your stories.
- 5:04Speaker 1: And now, over the course of 51 years, as my stories and my beliefs have shifted, so has the entire quality of my life and quality of my consciousness and quality of everything around me.
- 5:16Speaker 1: Because whatever you believe is true is true for you, and whatever story you're telling yourself is true for you.
- 5:23Speaker 1: And whatever you're expecting you will get, whether it be positive or negative, even though there are no negatives.
- 5:31Speaker 1: You're just always in the act of creating through your beliefs, through your stories, through your thoughts, through your emotions.
- 5:38Speaker 1: You're just always in creation mode, and some people are creating what they want and some people are creating what they don't want.
- 5:45Speaker 1: When someone's creating what they don't want, I call that survival mode.
- 5:48Speaker 1: So there's survival mode and there's creation mode.
- 5:52Speaker 1: But when someone continues to create what they don't want, it's survival mode.
- 5:56Speaker 1: And it's only when you learn the creation process and learn how to harness it and utilize it that you actually start to create what you want in the world instead of what you don't want.
- 6:08Speaker 1: And what you see is there's probably 5% or less of people that are creating what they want, and we call those people the haves, and there's 95% of people who are creating what they don't want.
- 6:20Speaker 1: We call those people the have nots, and the have nots have demonized the haves.
- 6:25Speaker 1: But what the haves have done is learned how to utilize and harness the creation process and it's a very it's a simple but not easy process and there's three steps.
- 6:39Speaker 1: There's getting really, really clear about what you want.
- 6:42Speaker 1: It's becoming certain that you can have it.
- 6:45Speaker 1: And there's remaining committed to the process and receiving when it shows up, taking inspired action and receiving when it shows up.
- 6:53Speaker 1: And if you utilize that process and if you get really in tune with that process, you are always creating whether it's what you want or what you don't want Clarity, certainty and commitment.
- 7:05Speaker 1: And I've done multiple episodes on this simple but not easy process and it's easy when you start to trust it, but it's not easy when you don't trust the process.
- 7:18Speaker 1: I've done multiple episodes.
- 7:21Speaker 1: Today I want to dive just another level deeper Now.
- 7:25Speaker 1: This is going to use the same exact process clarity, certainty and commitment but I want to dive one layer deeper and start to help you understand, like especially that certainty portion, because I run into a lot of in the entrepreneur space.
- 7:45Speaker 1: There are entrepreneurs who understand the woo-woo and the woo the mystical, and there are entrepreneurs who don't.
- 7:54Speaker 1: Now, here's the difference.
- 7:57Speaker 1: Here's this strange phenomenon is there are entrepreneurs who don't believe in the woo and the mystical, but they just call that mindset.
- 8:11Speaker 1: They don't believe in the woo and the mystical, but they do believe in mindset and what they don't realize.
- 8:20Speaker 1: It's the same fucking thing.
- 8:21Speaker 1: It's the same thing.
- 8:24Speaker 1: Mindset is woo, but it sounds tougher and it sounds more.
- 8:31Speaker 1: You know more, I don't know physical world.
- 8:35Speaker 1: To call it mindset Instead of what it really is, it's like a form of mysticism.
- 8:41Speaker 1: Your thoughts are creating your reality.
- 8:44Speaker 1: Your thoughts and your beliefs and your stories are literally creating the experience that you have in life and in your thoughts and your beliefs and your stories and your emotions and what's going on inside of your body is either creating what you want or what you don't want, and you can either call it like mysticism or mindset, it doesn't matter, it's the same fucking thing and it's just the creation process.
- 9:13Speaker 1: And I want to dive a little deeper and talk about clarity, certainty and commitment.
- 9:18Speaker 1: I want to give you a little more depth of understanding, especially the certain part, the certainty part.
- 9:25Speaker 1: So listen, five things that I want to dive into here and I want you to.
- 9:32Speaker 1: Here's my experience.
- 9:33Speaker 1: Let me back up for a second.
- 9:34Speaker 1: Here's my experience.
- 9:36Speaker 1: Everything that's ever showed up in my life has been when these five things have been in alignment.
- 9:44Speaker 1: Okay, let me throw it through that frame and maybe you'll see how true this is for you too.
- 9:51Speaker 1: Okay, but this is what's been true for me for 51 years, when I've gotten what I wanted and when I've gotten what I didn't want, it was the same thing.
- 10:04Speaker 1: But whenever I've gotten what I wanted, these five things were true.
- 10:08Speaker 1: Number one is I got really, really clear about what I actually wanted to experience in the world.
- 10:18Speaker 1: Okay, one time my wife, angie and I we were in Maryland in our town home, in our first house.
- 10:24Speaker 1: We've owned three homes together, three private residences, and we were in our first our town home shortly after we got together and we were.
- 10:35Speaker 1: I remember having a discussion and we were.
- 10:37Speaker 1: I was sitting on the edge of the bed and she was laying in bed and she said you know what, mike, it would be really really neat if, if we like took our little family and we went, like got away from the East Coast and we just focused on our little family for a little while, because it was like holiday time and you know, she lived in Alexandria, or she was from Alexandria, virginia, and I was from Baltimore and so we were driving back and forth and we went through one holiday season like that and she was like this is crap and like wouldn't it be really cool if we just moved like somewhere else and just focused on our little family and the very?
- 11:13Speaker 1: And I said, hey, that would be cool, I would love that, I love moving and that would be a lot of fun.
- 11:17Speaker 1: And literally like the next week and I'm I mean literally, I am not exaggerating literally the next week we got called into a conference room at at my work office and they told us that they were shutting down that field office and they were moving.
- 11:32Speaker 1: They were moving the field office to Beaverton Oregon home base, beaverton Oregon and a few of us were going to be invited to to move out there, and I was one of them.
- 11:42Speaker 1: And a couple months later we were living in Portland Oregon and there was.
- 11:49Speaker 1: We just got really clear that we were ready to move.
- 11:52Speaker 1: It was, it was pretty simple process.
- 11:55Speaker 1: And I also remember when, when I was a plant manager in a Fortune 500 company and one of the plants in a Fortune 500 company.
- 12:05Speaker 1: And I remember when, when my wife said this is like something similar, she said hey, the girls are getting ready to go in the middle school and we don't want to live in Portland for the rest of our life.
- 12:13Speaker 1: No, no, disrespect, portland, it's just it's.
- 12:15Speaker 1: It's a beautiful place to visit.
- 12:17Speaker 1: We lived there for 10 years and the range has got a little tired for us.
- 12:21Speaker 1: And a beautiful place, beautiful place to visit, great place to raise a family, but the range just literally just didn't like, didn't like do well for our, our overall quality of life.
- 12:34Speaker 1: Anyway, she said, if we're going to move, we got to move before, we should move before the girls go in the middle school.
- 12:40Speaker 1: And then the very next year the girls are going to be going in the middle school.
- 12:44Speaker 1: And I mean, almost like magic, my phone, my office phone, started ringing with recruiters wanting me to come and manage their operation, or you know.
- 12:57Speaker 1: And and I went and interviewed in in New Hampshire and I went and interviewed in Southern California and I went and interviewed in Chicago and here in St Louis, I interviewed all over the United States and we had the the pick of where we wanted to go, but it just came from like a simple thought that hey, let's, let's move, we are ready to move, we were prepared to move and, almost like clockwork, the phone started ringing and you you may maybe you've heard of these things before where you know you wanted to hear a song and suddenly you turn on the radio or whatever, and then there it is.
- 13:34Speaker 1: It's the same thing.
- 13:36Speaker 1: You just you got clear about what you wanted and and then you didn't hold any resistance internal resistance to actually getting what you want.
- 13:45Speaker 1: And that's what we're going to talk about in the certainty part.
- 13:49Speaker 1: So that's step one, right?
- 13:50Speaker 1: That's the.
- 13:51Speaker 1: The clarity part is getting really clear about what you want, and you'll see, if you look back at the history of your life, whatever you've gotten really clear about whether you wanted it or not.
- 14:03Speaker 1: If you got clear that you didn't want it, it was just like getting clear that you did want it.
- 14:08Speaker 1: Your mind knows no difference.
- 14:10Speaker 1: Like life, universe, god, whatever you want to call it, doesn't matter it knows no difference between getting clear about what you want and getting clear about what you don't want.
- 14:24Speaker 1: It's going to bring it to you and you get clear about what you don't want.
- 14:30Speaker 1: So get clear about what you want, and this is why harnessing the creation process is so critical.
- 14:42Speaker 1: This is how you become a have instead of a have.
- 14:44Speaker 1: Not is get clear about what you want, and most people don't have what they want because they don't know what they want.
- 14:51Speaker 1: But they do know what they don't want and that's why I keep showing up over and over and over and over, because they're clear about what they want or don't want instead of what they want.
- 15:02Speaker 1: And it keeps showing up.
- 15:04Speaker 1: That's the clarity portion, and this is simple but not easy.
- 15:13Speaker 1: When we have our workshops choose your destiny workshops we spend a full day just reigniting people's dream, the ability to dream and their imagination and their ability to see beyond their current circumstances into something more powerful and to something more inspirational and to something that's more like aligned with what they want instead of what they don't want.
- 15:34Speaker 1: And you'd be surprised how many people struggle to actually dream or imagine that they could have something better than they have today, because they're used to surviving, they're used to waking up, to avoid what they don't want, and probably at a young age they were convinced by somebody, or told or taught, to stop dreaming and be realistic and practical.
- 16:00Speaker 1: And being realistic and practical is just another way to say stay in survival mode.
- 16:05Speaker 1: It's the dreamers who accomplish big things and shift from have nots to haves.
- 16:13Speaker 1: The dreamers, not the practical people or the realistic people.
- 16:17Speaker 1: Now we get into the certainty portion.
- 16:21Speaker 1: That's the clarity portion.
- 16:23Speaker 1: Now we're getting into the certainty portion.
- 16:26Speaker 1: The second piece that falls into a line that is an alignment.
- 16:30Speaker 1: Whenever I've gotten anything that I've wanted, whatever I've wanted.
- 16:34Speaker 1: The second is that I believed I could have it.
- 16:36Speaker 1: There was not a shred of doubt left in me that I could have it.
- 16:43Speaker 1: I had built belief by letting go of doubt and whenever I believe that I can have something without any shred of doubt, it'll show up.
- 16:57Speaker 1: Believe, understand what you want, believe that you can have it and you knock this shit out of the park, unless and now we're moving on to the third one Unless you feel like you need it.
- 17:20Speaker 1: Let me dive into this one a little deeper.
- 17:21Speaker 1: You need oxygen, water, nutrition, some exercise, some rest, maybe an environmentally controlled area, maybe at 70 degrees Fahrenheit, something to sustain your basic needs and your basic functions.
- 17:45Speaker 1: Oxygen, water, nutrition, exercise, rest that the acronym is.
- 17:48Speaker 1: Owner.
- 17:49Speaker 1: It's a wonderful acronym Oxygen, water, nutrition, exercise and rest, owner, and maybe some environmental control around you so that you actually, like you're safe, physically safe.
- 18:02Speaker 1: That's what you need to survive.
- 18:04Speaker 1: Those are the primary elements.
- 18:06Speaker 1: Those are what you need.
- 18:08Speaker 1: Everything else is a want.
- 18:13Speaker 1: But so often on this entrepreneurial adventure, on this creation adventure, we want something and we make it a need and now we obsess over it and it's like our life depends on it and it puts us into survival mode.
- 18:34Speaker 1: And when you go into survival mode and you obsess over a want, it's like it just moves farther away from you.
- 18:46Speaker 1: Have you ever noticed that when you make a want, a need, and start to obsess over it now every waking second is spent obsessing about it it moves farther away from you.
- 19:02Speaker 1: Because I don't know if you've ever been to sales training before, but there's a thing called commission breath and people can smell commission breath.
- 19:13Speaker 1: And when the salesman is pushy and the salesman is trying to like needs the sale to take care of their bank account, people can smell that shit and run away from it.
- 19:23Speaker 1: It's commission breath.
- 19:24Speaker 1: They need the sale.
- 19:26Speaker 1: But when you want the sale and you just show up to serve, you typically get the sale.
- 19:33Speaker 1: But when you need the sale, the prospects always run away because they can smell that obsession.
- 19:38Speaker 1: So when your want becomes a need, you're going to struggle.
- 19:44Speaker 1: So you get clear about what you want, what you want to experience.
- 19:51Speaker 1: Number two is you can believe that you can have it.
- 19:53Speaker 1: Make sure that your want is not a need and this one sounds similar but it's a little different.
- 20:01Speaker 1: Number four is that you know that you can live without it.
- 20:06Speaker 1: It's like there's certainty in you that you're okay without it.
- 20:12Speaker 1: Not just that it's not a need, but if it doesn't show up you're okay.
- 20:18Speaker 1: You're not attached to it.
- 20:20Speaker 1: Your life doesn't depend on it.
- 20:25Speaker 1: You'll be okay with it or without it.
- 20:28Speaker 1: You're survival.
- 20:34Speaker 1: If you feel like you're not going to be okay without it, you're in survival mode.
- 20:39Speaker 1: You're not in creation mode, you're in survival mode.
- 20:42Speaker 1: You've put yourself there artificially because you only need oxygen, water, nutrition, exercise, rest and some shelter.
- 20:49Speaker 1: So if you get clear about what you want, you believe you can have it and you like the obsession isn't there and you recognize it's a want, not a need, but you feel like you can't live without it and the quality of your life goes down.
- 21:10Speaker 1: It's called lack.
- 21:12Speaker 1: You're living from lack.
- 21:15Speaker 1: You're living from something that where your life isn't okay now and you're trying to fix an internal conflict through this thing.
- 21:24Speaker 1: And if any part of your creation is about filling an internal gap, it comes from lack and it means that you feel like you won't be okay without it, and that's just another form of survival mode.
- 21:40Speaker 1: The whole point of all of this is the shift from survival mode into creation mode, because that's the only place that you're going to show up as a have and not a have not.
- 21:56Speaker 1: Please understand, get clear about what you want, what you want to experience, believe that you can have it.
- 22:04Speaker 1: Make sure you honor it as a want and not a need.
- 22:09Speaker 1: Let go of your identification and your quality of life as being dependent on this thing and like let go and be okay without it and, from there, be ready to receive it, because it's just a matter of time and you would be surprised how many people get exactly what they want but they just won't take delivery.
- 22:43Speaker 1: It's like you go in, you want a car and you tell us, a salesperson, that you want a specific car and the salesperson says you know well, that's impossible, that's a special order, and say, well, but I'm not going to order it, I'm just going to wait for it to show up.
- 23:05Speaker 1: A friend of mine has an awesome story.
- 23:07Speaker 1: He bought a $150,000 race car and he went and contacted a bunch of dealerships and said here's the car I want, like the exact specs, but I'm not going to order it.
- 23:23Speaker 1: I want to drive it.
- 23:24Speaker 1: I want to test drive it first to make sure I actually like, want the car, but here's the car that I want to test drive.
- 23:33Speaker 1: And they all told him that he was a lunatic, that the only way to test drive that car or the only way to drive that car was to test drive it or I'm sorry, to order it, and then you could drive it, but it was yours as soon as you ordered it.
- 23:47Speaker 1: And he said, no, I'll test drive it first.
- 23:49Speaker 1: And he said here's the car I want, when it comes in, let me know.
- 23:54Speaker 1: And they thought he was a lunatic.
- 23:58Speaker 1: And a couple months later he got a call on a Saturday morning and they said, hey, somebody bought this car and there's like 20 miles on it and they had it in their garage and they turned it back in.
- 24:10Speaker 1: It wasn't what they wanted.
- 24:11Speaker 1: So this car, the exact car that you wanted, and it sounds freaking crazy.
- 24:16Speaker 1: It does.
- 24:17Speaker 1: It sounds like you can't believe, you can't make this shit up, but the exact car you wanted is sitting in our dealership.
- 24:26Speaker 1: Do you want to come and test drive it?
- 24:28Speaker 1: And he said I'll be there in an hour.
- 24:30Speaker 1: And he got in his car and he went to the dealership.
- 24:33Speaker 1: He test drove the car and he bought it and it was the exact car that he wanted, and I am not exaggerating this.
- 24:43Speaker 1: But he let go of the need for this car to show up.
- 24:51Speaker 1: He didn't obsess about it.
- 24:53Speaker 1: He knew what he wanted, he believed he could have it, he honored it as a want, but he didn't feel a sense of lack.
- 25:01Speaker 1: And then, when the phone rang, he just said yes and he took receipt.
- 25:05Speaker 1: Did you have another friend that went through kind of the same ordeal?
- 25:11Speaker 1: But when the car came available, he wouldn't take delivery.
- 25:16Speaker 1: He stopped just short and you would be surprised at how many people like when.
- 25:25Speaker 1: It would have been the same as if Angie and I my wife Angie and I said we wanted to move and then an opportunity came available and we said no, and you're going to get what you want.
- 25:38Speaker 1: The question is are you ready to receive it?
- 25:40Speaker 1: And look, of course there's some action involved in this.
- 25:46Speaker 1: You've got to do something.
- 25:47Speaker 1: You've got to make a call.
- 25:48Speaker 1: You've got to pick up the phone.
- 25:51Speaker 1: You've got.
- 25:51Speaker 1: Whatever, there's some action.
- 25:53Speaker 1: Maybe you've got to make a podcast to fill up your mastermind or maybe you have to have a Choose your Destiny workshop.
- 25:59Speaker 1: You have to do something.
- 26:01Speaker 1: You've got to take some action in this world.
- 26:03Speaker 1: But it's not obsessive, lack-based, struggle-ish, frustrated, angry, obsessive action.
- 26:16Speaker 1: It's just inspired action that feels good, that moves you towards and the direction of what you're actually looking to create in your life.
- 26:25Speaker 1: But the last step is to receive, because if you don't receive, all that work that you did is for nothing.
- 26:33Speaker 1: Now, this sounds woo-woo as shit, but it's just mindset, that's all.
- 26:39Speaker 1: It is Easy mindset.
- 26:43Speaker 1: If you decide that you want something, but then you go into fricking hyperdrive and Like you're, you're working obsessively and now you're, you're there's a lot of emotion involved in angry and you're getting frustrated, it's because you don't believe that it's possible.
- 27:01Speaker 1: But if you get clear about what you want and then the quality of your life goes down Because now there's, there's a missing piece in your life that's coming at this thing from lack, that's not creation mode, that's survival mode.
- 27:15Speaker 1: You've literally just put yourself into in the artificial premature survival mode because the only thing you need Oxygen, water, nutrition, exercise, rest and maybe a little shelter.
- 27:25Speaker 1: And we put ourselves in the survival mode for no reason.
- 27:30Speaker 1: And then we look at the people that aren't in survival mode and we call them haves and we think they're the people that are destroying the world Because they know how to create what they want, and the 95 percent who know how to create what they don't want blame the people who know how to create what they want and Demonize and villainize those people, instead of just learning the creation process and learning that, as soon as you get clear about what you want, believe you can have it, make sure you honor it as a want and not a need, make sure it's not coming from a place of lack and you're gonna be okay with with it or without it, and then, when it shows up, just be willing to receive.
- 28:07Speaker 1: When you honor this process, you'll see that every circumstance in your life will change and Then you'll become a half and you'll see that it was always within your power to shift every circumstance in your life.
- 28:21Speaker 1: Listen, this creation process is very, very simple.
- 28:24Speaker 1: It's not easy because it requires a lot of trust.
