• 2:26
  SPEAKER_02: J, welcome to the show.
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_00: Well, it's great to be here with you.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_00: I'm glad that you have to do all that bio stuff and I don't.
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_00: You did great.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm really excited to be here with you, Jacob.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_02: You know, so first of all, I I love your energy, which is so important for people to have.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_02: And what I would love for you to share is you, you know, you are talking about rapid growth, and we're talking about success.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_02: So how how do people have rapid growth?
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's as far as the energy.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_00: I I don't rarely meet people that top my energy, but you you've got that.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_00: You've got that going for you.
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, rapid growth is um it usually something with inside of us that stirs it, a bottoming, an upset, um, struggle for so too long and things like that.
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_00: And we just can't stand living that way anymore.
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_00: And that's I know how it happened for me as well.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_00: And and and and once once, so what I say is we become teachable at that point.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_00: Because up until then, we're laying out our pathways, our strategies, our to-do lists, and not, you know, if it's not working, we put more hours, more effort, more time into it and such.
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_00: But then we get to that place where it's like, man, it's just not working.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_00: And and and it's usually not long before the effort, I give up, I quit.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_00: And I go do something else.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, yes, or tab out.
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_00: But but yeah, that's but yeah, it's usually not before much before that.
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_00: And then when we and what happens in that process is so we're doing everything we can think to do, we're we're going about the way we think we're supposed to, right?
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_00: And and so we're investing in things that are telling us do A, B, and C to get D, and we do it, and we do it more, and we do it more, and we do it more, but we're not seeing the changes in the results, and so we just get to that point of frustration, fed up, and all that stuff.
• 4:19
  SPEAKER_00: And the moment we go, I don't know how to do this, we literally unlock a vault to be shown the pathway of how to do it.
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_02: So you just described the definition of insanity, correct?
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_02: It is right, it is doing the same thing over and over and over again, thinking that you're going to try to get the same results and you keep doing more and more results, yes.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_02: You're not gonna you think I'm gonna get different, I'm gonna get different results, and you don't, and you hit that point.
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_00: People with addiction, I mean it is so widespread, you know.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_00: People with addiction go through the same thing, you know, where they keep using and using, and there's that almost like with our with our trying to be successful in business or entrepreneurs, you know, and and and all in a lot of entrepreneurs don't even live as entrepreneurs, they try to figure out the systematic way of doing it.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_00: That's not an entrepreneur, an entrepreneur goes with the flows and they go with the stream, you know, and the the creativity and all that stuff in there.
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_00: When you start implementing too many systems into it, you take that away from it, and that's no longer what that's what I call old corporate, because that's what corporate America was like, you know?
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_00: And so when we're going through this and we just get it, but when we get into that flow, all of a sudden, you know, we all talk about coincidences, right?
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_00: Every, you know, we overhear something that we need to hear.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_00: I woke up at five o'clock this morning with a thought of on my mind, and I literally sprung out of bed, came in here, didn't even make my coffee or use the you know, bathroom or anything, came in here, fired up my computer and everything.
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_00: I'm sitting there for quite a minute going, okay, I gotta slow down a little bit and go get some coffee out, you know, and but it's so much stuff flows like that.
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_00: And so we'll overhear something or somebody will say, or read something or or see something on TV, whatever it is, and we hear this thing, and it answers exactly what we want.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_00: But when we're in that mode of pushing, pushing, pushing, trying to make it happen, we don't even notice those things are going on all around us.
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_00: And and and what I do, what I've experienced, what my clients experience, what's tied throughout the SMT method, is that we can utilize those so-called coincidences, which I don't really call them coincidences.
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_00: We can utilize those as the system to know they will show up, to know they will guide our pathway.
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_00: And so we can focus much more on what it is I want to achieve and expanding that.
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_00: You know, I'm really big into asking for the impossible.
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_00: You know, so many people are going through this process of life and they're trying to get there, and it's not their own fault, but they're trying to get there.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_00: And they end up living on minuscule scraps of what's available to them.
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_00: And they honestly, when I talk to people, they don't know why.
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_00: And so when you can help somebody open that up and understand that, now all of a sudden we can start, they can start shifting, and all of a sudden they'll start seeing things happening.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_00: And as things happen, then we start growing in our mind and the possibilities and all of that, you know, and you see it expand.
• 7:17
  SPEAKER_00: And ultimately, what I do is I help people take the conscious mind, which is what we're focused on.
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_00: The words we use, thoughts we entertain, the words, the way we talk about ourselves, you know, who we hang out with, watch, all that stuff.
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_00: And but the knowing of what we want is in our conscious mind.
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_00: And one of my mentors, late um uh Bob Proctor, taught me this.
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_00: And and then, and then we have the subconscious mind.
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_00: And all the subconscious mind does is absorbs, but it's really important to understand there's this what I call a motherboard in our subconscious that hosts all of our programming, our patterns, our paradigms, our experiences, even experiences maybe we didn't have, Jacqueline, but somebody told us about, and it gets embedded into that network.
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_00: Well, the why that's important is because that subconscious is what triggers brain waves to the actions we take or don't take.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_00: So you have the knowing of what you want, and you can have all kinds of clarity on that.
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_00: But if your programming is working against you, and this is exactly how I went into adulthood experiencing, it doesn't trigger the brain waves to the actions that will help align those two.
• 8:20
  SPEAKER_00: So, what we do is we identify what those are, shift those things, and all of a sudden we start noticing we're more in alignment with what we want and the actions we're taking, and all of a sudden we start noticing the huge changes on our exterior.
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_02: You know, there's as you're talking, like, you know, I love what you're talking about because the mind is so flipping powerful, right?
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_02: And we forget that we, you know, it's you know, we all have all these lenses that we have developed from our experiences in life.
• 8:57
  SPEAKER_02: And we have to sometimes learn to shift the color of the lens and see what we're seeing so that we could see things differently.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_02: And it is truly amazing that when you can go from that point of of having everything turned off because you're so focused, because you're so almost like busy with whatever the busyness is, and you haven't slowed down.
• 9:22
  SPEAKER_02: But when you can slow down and you can sort of like almost like smell the roses, it's amazing what comes to you as you were saying.
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_02: It's like you can start hearing those things, the creativity comes back.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_02: You know, when you can take these lovely instruments and put them away, you know, and you just can sit there and be.
• 9:41
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, absolutely, absolutely.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_00: You know, I'm I'm fortunate I get to live in the in the mountains, South Carolina, all the way to the west side of the state.
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_00: And so I spend a lot of time just walking in nature, sitting in nature, trout fishing on beautiful trout streams or not even fishing, just sitting there and stuff.
• 9:57
  SPEAKER_00: And the more time I do that, the more it aligns.
• 9:59
  SPEAKER_00: And almost every business owner I work with, I have to get them to throttle back a little bit from what they're doing to get into alignment with this stuff, to even even just to notice what pro you know, what they're being triggered from their subconscious mind so they can be aware of it.
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_00: So in in in doing that, and you said something absolutely beautiful when you talked about that the color of the lens, you know, I call that perceptions.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_00: And if we want to change our results and what we're experiencing in life, we have to shift our perceptions.
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_00: The only way I know to do it, let alone quickly and and long term, is we have to identify and shift the programming that's leading to those perceptions that's then leading to our experience.
• 10:43
  SPEAKER_02: Yep.
• 10:43
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, so I I want to share about share something, but I but this is you know, when I keep thinking about lenses and changing our perception, it's so important.
• 10:53
  SPEAKER_02: So we the movie, um Oh my god, treasure, whatever.
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_02: Uh Indiana Jones.
• 11:01
  SPEAKER_02: No, um uh Nicolas Cage.
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_00: Um, oh I I remember the movie, not the name.
• 11:09
  SPEAKER_02: Oh my god, I love the movie, and I cannot think of the name.
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_02: Anyway, but he's like at, you know, he's in Philadelphia and they're they get Ben Franklin's glasses and they're looking at the Declaration of Independence, and it's like, oh, and they start to shift the lenses and they see the different patterns.
• 11:26
  SPEAKER_02: And that's what like I love that that you can help people see things through different lenses and taint change that perspective because it does all of a sudden the whole world, you know, opens up.
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, changes, it does absolutely it shifts, you know.
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_00: And and and an example of that, and our can our programming is unique to the individual.
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_00: So that's why I'm not a big advocate of one size fit-all programs, do A, B, and C and get to B, because we're all unique individuals.
• 11:53
  SPEAKER_00: I have four siblings.
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_00: Whenever we've gotten together or get together and talk about like the camping trips and the different vacations we've been on together as a family, there's five different stories of that.
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_00: Because we all have our own unique programming, which leads to our own unique um, you know, the way we see it and start perceptions of how we see it.
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_02: It is so true.
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_02: It is so true.
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_02: It is so that is so true.
• 12:15
  SPEAKER_02: Because it's it's also like, you know, you could say, like, two bit two people grow up in the same household.
• 12:20
  SPEAKER_02: How can they be so different?
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_02: It's it's every you know, you're in the same household, but you're experiencing things things differently.
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_00: You're and you see things differently because we're processing them differently, because we're unique, yeah.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_00: So that's why like I've really been a huge advocate as I started learning and understanding the whole thing about the subconscious and things like that.
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_00: Is that whatever I do, I I want it to be because I used to take those one-size-fit-out programs like the ABC to get to D, and I'd walk away going, Man, there must be something the matter with me because I didn't get near what they talk about people getting out of it.
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_00: Well, then once I started understanding, I needed something that worked for me and my uniqueness.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_00: And I don't I had to quit caring what everybody else does and look at me and what do I need?
• 13:01
  SPEAKER_00: And as I start doing that, so I start for, and that's what I hope clients do today is is let's identify there is no one pathway that works for everybody, it's impossible for that to happen.
• 13:11
  SPEAKER_00: So let's find your unique pathway that just freaking rockets you into the results you want to get and beyond a lot of times.
• 13:19
  SPEAKER_02: That's awesome.
• 13:20
  SPEAKER_02: That's so what is the SMT because method?
• 13:27
  SPEAKER_00: Because I hate finish that, wasn't it?
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_02: Before Dr.
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_02: J and I were talking before show, and I I added a letter in there because you know, if you do any, you know, um email programming stuff, there's another letter in some of that stuff.
• 13:44
  SPEAKER_02: So I thought I was stopping.
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_00: Probably really, really wrong of me to just let you hang with that too, wasn't it?
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_00: But it was fun, Jack.
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_00: I had a good time there.
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_00: Thanks for the triples.
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_00: So SMT method stands for subconscious mindset training.
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_00: And it's all about identifying the programming that's going on under the surface within that subconscious motherboard.
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_00: And once we identify it now with the SMT method, we have tools to quickly shift that, which then quickly change perceptions and then open up avenues to achieve greater results for the same amount of efforts or less.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, that I okay, so I like that.
• 14:27
  SPEAKER_02: So for same amount of efforts or less, people like that.
• 14:30
  SPEAKER_02: So your new book, Reprogramming Your Subconscious Mind, the SMTP SMT, I just said it, the SMT method, sorry, SMT method, see what happens.
• 14:43
  SPEAKER_02: Um the you know, for rapid growth.
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_02: So will the if I we grab the book and people get the book, will they be able to walk themselves through the method so that they can they can sort of reprogram their subconscious themselves?
• 15:00
  SPEAKER_00: So so that I designed and wrote the book, it explains the method, but it's it's literally what I take my clients through.
• 15:09
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 15:18
  SPEAKER_00: So they can start noticing that and start bringing about changes.
• 15:21
  SPEAKER_00: And one of the things that is important for me to do in this book is I have it's not included in the book, but I have a link that's at the end of every almost every chapter that you can go to and there's exercises to practice so you can start seeing change happening in those areas.
• 15:36
  SPEAKER_00: You can start noticing it, you can start, you know, walking through some tools as far as shifting those perceptions and start noticing a change.
• 15:44
  SPEAKER_02: I like that.
• 15:45
  SPEAKER_02: So I like the fact that that you have that the book comes with exercises, because that I think is one of the things that happens with a lot of books that you will read something and they'll be able to, you know, it'll say, Okay, you know, get out a piece of paper, or there, you know, you need to do this, but people don't necessarily always do it because they have you know, but being able to give them the actual exercise to do it is really great.
• 16:15
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 16:16
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 16:16
  SPEAKER_00: I actually thought about writing in the book in like the beginning of chapter three, like before you read this, please show me your works in chapter two.
• 16:24
  SPEAKER_02: Accountability, right?
• 16:26
  SPEAKER_02: It's it's the accountability part, right?
• 16:27
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, prove it.
• 16:29
  SPEAKER_00: But yeah, it is, and it's a way of doing it, and it's not really exhaustive and and but it really pointed to help focus in this find that item and then focus on the item.
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_00: What's going on in your thinking about that item?
• 16:42
  SPEAKER_00: And that right away, and then I help them to see to point out how how is it working for you or against you?
• 16:48
  SPEAKER_00: The ones that are working against you is programming, you don't need any more.
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 16:52
  SPEAKER_02: So you and that's true.
• 16:55
  SPEAKER_02: Like once you've gotten some when you've moved to one place, you it you can keep moving on, but you don't have to go back.
• 17:01
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, you know, yeah.
• 17:02
  SPEAKER_02: So you have had amazing success.
• 17:07
  SPEAKER_02: You know, you started in sales, you were so how did you how did you become the success and drive your growth?
• 17:19
  SPEAKER_00: It's this is the whole thing with anybody's pathway.
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_00: It's not a it's not really a logical process.
• 17:27
  SPEAKER_00: Like honestly, Jacqueline, I I shouldn't be here talking with you today.
• 17:30
  SPEAKER_00: I shouldn't be doing the things I've done.
• 17:32
  SPEAKER_00: I shouldn't have been on magazines, I shouldn't have wrote a book, I shouldn't impact people's lives.
• 17:35
  SPEAKER_00: I shouldn't know, because when I grew up in a in a very low-income family in Detroit, Michigan, watching struggle in everything, uh I didn't I was told growing up numerous times from numerous people, there's people meant to work with their head and people meant to work with their hands, and you're gonna work with your hands.
• 17:53
  SPEAKER_00: So I never really applied myself in school.
• 17:55
  SPEAKER_00: As soon as I graduated high school, I went to a factory and got a job cleaning out old mucky oil from machines and things like that and stuff, you know.
• 18:03
  SPEAKER_00: And I thought that was my lot in life, and I was just gonna do that.
• 18:06
  SPEAKER_00: And then and when I was 22 years old, I had a gentleman approach me, he was kind of a mentor.
• 18:12
  SPEAKER_00: I saw much, much higher than I would ever go and stuff.
• 18:15
  SPEAKER_00: But he was getting ready to uh retire and he owned a multi-million dollar construction company, and and he wanted me to take over the business.
• 18:22
  SPEAKER_00: He wasn't gonna sell it to me, so I didn't have to come up with a loan and stuff like that.
• 18:25
  SPEAKER_00: He knew me well and in my situation, so I was gonna take it over and over a seven-year period, share residual revenues as they come in with them for seven years.
• 18:33
  SPEAKER_00: And um, that was the most exciting day in my life.
• 18:36
  SPEAKER_00: Like I felt like somebody believed in me beyond what I ever thought possible.
• 18:42
  SPEAKER_00: Three days later, I told him I can't do that.
• 18:45
  SPEAKER_00: And I probably should have explained it because he could help me see it differently.
• 18:48
  SPEAKER_00: But the reason I said that is because I felt so much guilt going through my whole being that I didn't work hard enough to earn that, so I don't deserve it.
• 18:58
  SPEAKER_00: And that's at the point when I said that and a couple other things happening is when I said, Man, there's something really wrong with me, and I don't know what it is, but I so badly want to find it out.
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_00: And it's been a four-decade journey into leading to all this stuff.
• 19:14
  SPEAKER_02: So, did you so what happened after that?
• 19:16
  SPEAKER_02: Did you decide I'm gonna go to school?
• 19:19
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going to No, no, I was lost, completely lost.
• 19:24
  SPEAKER_00: And then I started out getting counseling, trying to figure out what it was, and they didn't hit on that core of things like that and stuff.
• 19:30
  SPEAKER_00: And and I did that for a few years, and and then from there I I ended up meeting a guy who was a very wealthy person, and he grew up around where I did, um, you know, same kind of neighborhood and stuff, and um, and similar to how I did, and he was a multimillionaire in the pharmaceutical industry, a very high level, I won't say his name, a very high-level person in in Pfizer and places like that and stuff.
• 19:54
  SPEAKER_00: And we just got to know each other, and he's not somebody I would have picked to hung around with because I thought they were so high above me and such.
• 20:00
  SPEAKER_00: But we hung out and stuff, and over a matter of about five months or six months, he he saw again somebody, he saw something in me.
• 20:07
  SPEAKER_00: And so he would just start talking about man, you could have any job, or if you had, you know, a job, you know, and and he wanted me to go on sales, and it's the last thing I ever wanted to do was go into sales because I had that view of the you know, reception of a used car salesman and stuff.
• 20:19
  SPEAKER_00: And so, so anyway, so he ended up talking me into interviewing and stuff like that.
• 20:23
  SPEAKER_00: And what hooked me is when he got me to say, if I ever got into white-collar America, I would love to have a company car and a laptop computer.
• 20:33
  SPEAKER_00: My first corporate job had a company car and a laptop computer.
• 20:37
  SPEAKER_00: And then that got me started.
• 20:39
  SPEAKER_00: Then I went into sales and I never expected to do even struggled in that for a long time.
• 20:43
  SPEAKER_00: And then I started diving deeper and deeper and deeper.
• 20:45
  SPEAKER_00: And at some point I came across the subconscious mind in all the studies I was doing.
• 20:50
  SPEAKER_00: You know, we talked about with books.
• 20:52
  SPEAKER_00: I used to read a book all the way through, and then I would go back and create experiments to do with that book.
• 20:57
  SPEAKER_00: But all of it was trying to figure out why, what was the matter with me, you know.
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_00: So that added another level of complexity to it.
• 21:04
  SPEAKER_00: So then as I started doing sales and I went from barely getting by, traveling 3,000 to 5,000 miles a week, building the territories, to understanding this, to identifying it, and then going out and finding somebody who could help, which was very difficult to find somebody who had the understanding of.
• 21:19
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, you had to the Velgaders and you know, Bob Proctors and things like that stuff, but they there wasn't many of them.
• 21:25
  SPEAKER_00: And so then as I started learning that within a year, I went from barely getting by to landing 18, 22, 25 million dollar year-over-year contracts for companies and doubling company sizes and things like that with what I was doing.
• 21:38
  SPEAKER_00: So that moved me, that ended up elevating me up into a vice into director, you know, sales manager in the vice vice president positions and stuff.
• 21:46
  SPEAKER_00: And then later on, I would help organizations and bankruptcy get back to profitability.
• 21:50
  SPEAKER_00: And that was a 28 year period that that happened.
• 21:52
  SPEAKER_00: And I've always had this desire in my heart to help up.
• 21:56
  SPEAKER_02: Thank you, because it you don't really look like you're that old.
• 21:59
  SPEAKER_00: Thank you.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_00: started when i was two that's what i thought okay yeah thought you were alive yeah so thank you for saying that so but but then i then so as i as i did that and stuff and then um in the corporate job the last organization that was in bankruptcy and i was part of the team to bring back profitability and and and and such my dad had passed away of cancer and then a year later 56 years of marriage my mom passed away she just natural causes she just didn't want to be alive without him and I found myself an orphan with this big desire on my heart to help people and I knew I was in that way but it wasn't it wasn't it didn't match the size of you know what I felt what my purpose was and and I just said you know I I don't know exactly how I've already now at that point I had two certifications into what I do today and I was going through the education stuff and things like that.
• 22:54
  SPEAKER_00: And um I just I said when we get new owners in this organization I'm done and so we got new owners a week later I resigned moved down here to South Carolina and I started going out giving out five business cards a day with introducing myself to people that's how I started this build that's awesome.
• 23:16
  SPEAKER_02: I shouldn't be here but if you look at statistics but you should be there because you the when you say you shouldn't that's in your brain you're so you should be because you know if you remember what I said a few minutes ago Jacqueline that it it it it doesn't make logical sense right that's the shouldn't be here part of it because logically if you look at only logic it doesn't make sense.
• 23:45
  SPEAKER_00: And so we have to step outside of logic to achieve what we really want to achieve what we truly desire in our heart to achieve and the level we desire to achieve it.
• 23:54
  SPEAKER_00: It's not going to come from logic it's not going to come from strategy alone.
• 23:58
  SPEAKER_00: It's not going to come from to-do lists it's not gonna come from following what Pete down the street did or anybody else it's not gonna be a logical pathway you know the word logic is kind of an interesting word too right because I when I hear when I hear like you think it's it's it's true.
• 24:18
  SPEAKER_02: It's like it doesn't take a lot it's not a logical pathway to because a pathway is never a straight up it doesn't just go we don't always you know you don't you still don't start here and go from point A to point B as an upline.
• 24:35
  SPEAKER_02: It is you're zigging and zagging and it's up and it's the intermoving of of your journey that happens to take you you know up and down mountains up and down stairs zigging and zagging and I was listening to a book this morning you know it's the book you know Impossible and one of the things that the author was saying was also is that you know successful people you know have not don't have a linear and logical journey and it is that they have to explore and kind of come to where they are um they find what they truly love and and are passionate about where they can then go and take the direction.
• 25:28
  SPEAKER_02: But it's never but you don't think about it like as a it's true it's not it's not the path where we think oh he's gonna go from point A to point B.
• 25:38
  SPEAKER_00: Logical he he became a doctor so he's going to obviously practice medicine and see patients logically thinking but maybe they don't you know if you look at the fact of going like and this is one of the things I work with my clients on and anybody listening to this this is this like has had a huge profound impact in my life and I know people I work with is is you know when we look at something and and we go that's oh that's good man am I excited that happened yeah oh that's terrible God I can't believe that happened if I lived by the judgment of that within myself I wouldn't be here because that judgment when I say that's bad everything stops.
• 26:22
  SPEAKER_00: It can't go any further but when I look at giving up that construction company and years later I looked at that construction company and I went man that was a good thing because that helped build the desire and the passion in my gut to break whatever that was to fix that thing.
• 26:39
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 26:40
  SPEAKER_00: And so so what I tell people is you don't this you you don't know where this is going to end.
• 26:46
  SPEAKER_00: But I believe based on my life and my walk in this world is everything ends up leading to something bigger and better for me even if it's just a life lesson.
• 26:56
  SPEAKER_00: And that's with relationships, finances, uh you know what we do business wise like across the board you know when we put that judgment on there I wrote another book called Life's lessons.
• 27:07
  SPEAKER_00: And in there I state very clearly before it was popular is when I took the judgment out of what was happening in my life like it's not good or bad, right, wrong fair or unfair or anything else.
• 27:16
  SPEAKER_00: And if I take on the belief that life happens for me and not to me then I could start seeing what the lessons were in that.
• 27:23
  SPEAKER_00: But as long as I had judgment I could never get through that.
• 27:26
  SPEAKER_00: Because if something happened bad to me that means I'm a victim of something and if I'm a victim I got nowhere to go.
• 27:32
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 27:33
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah you know it's and what you just said is is that is and I think this is a listeners I think this is something that is really really important for you to have unstoppable success.
• 27:44
  SPEAKER_02: You have to make your life happen life doesn't happen to you and it's really important to be able to know that distinction you don't you want to you don't want to just exist but you want to live with purpose and you want to understand that things you know happen things are not happening you you can make your life happen.
• 28:11
  SPEAKER_02: They don't happen to you I mean if something happens that you don't like find the good in it find the lesson find the learning it's um and I I'll share this story which is you know one of the things that made a huge change in my life was I was taking my kids to school one morning and I was on the east coast and I'm driving and I I it was amazing that I got to where I was going because it was the car thing you know it was not a self-driving car.
• 28:48
  SPEAKER_02: But it almost was that day because I was like something is not right.
• 28:53
  SPEAKER_02: Something is missing like I literally said to myself Jackton you have started a point in your life where you are just existing you're not living you're not living with purpose.
• 29:03
  SPEAKER_02: And I remember coming home that day and it was made a huge shift in my life I remember coming home that day and writing out like rewriting my purpose and rewriting out my mission and what do I want and not just not just the need but what do I want in my life and telling my husband I'm like we're gonna move and he's like what I go I'm done with this like I'm done like we're gonna move and we're not gonna stay where we are because this is not we are we are existing and life is not about existing.
• 29:33
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah God you just motivated me.
• 29:35
  SPEAKER_02: Right right well and and which yeah I'm glad I motivated you but the point is like what you're doing too like Dr.
• 29:43
  SPEAKER_02: J what you're doing is so important to help people because so many of us do go through life existing and we need to live knowing that even whatever you know if you've had baggage baggage is yeah you'll see some lenses through there but you know guys go get the book and rewrite rewrite the lenses that you're seeing and reprogram your mind because you have to be able to say you know draw the line in the sand say uncle whatever do the taps you know and say today's the day yes and we're making a shift I'm going to live with purpose and you know that you're gonna wake up every single day living with purpose and being unstoppable and having you don't have to have you don't have to have the full roadmap or plan or or action plan or all that to do that.
• 30:32
  SPEAKER_00: You just got to make the choice and those things will start showing up for you.
• 30:36
  SPEAKER_00: And that's how I help companies organizations rapidly scale.
• 30:40
  SPEAKER_00: It's it's I don't have every answer for them as far as you're going to do A B and then you're gonna do this and then you're gonna do that and you're gonna do this this long and that that long and I don't but what we do is we open up that possibility of that and as we do all of a sudden things start showing up and things start flowing and everything else.
• 30:53
  SPEAKER_00: I I I love that story you shared because that's the unconscious that day you were driving we live unconsciously and as we live unconsciously that pattern that that programming in our subconscious displays over and over and over almost like an autopilot and we're just following it.
• 31:08
  SPEAKER_00: I had a guy one time that said to me I don't have any patterns I don't have those things and I go really okay because I want you to do tomorrow when you and I just thought my head when you shower tomorrow I want you to lather 12 times and be done and then rinse he called me back the next day and called me an MF but he used the real word and he goes you know I did it 12 times and I stopped and he said I I couldn't do it.
• 31:32
  SPEAKER_00: I had to go back and finish my pattern and so even in things that small it helps us to identify we have patterns and then when I can see one of them then I become more attuned to well what else am I saying?
• 31:47
  SPEAKER_00: What else am I doing?
• 31:48
  SPEAKER_00: How what other things am I doing without even fully realizing like driving realizing and I'm doing it fully conscious of it and we can start noticing those things.
• 31:58
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 31:58
  SPEAKER_02: You know it's so true that you just said it because I'm thinking when you're talking about the the washing of the hair you know so many times people are like I have you know you know you you subconsciously do a pattern in the shower because you've been doing it for so long right it's like crushing our teeth same thing.
• 32:14
  SPEAKER_02: Right?
• 32:15
  SPEAKER_02: You you do it you you just do it and and it's the days that something goes maybe a little awry where you're like you know you don't have the same amount of time or something happens or as and as you said there's a there's an instance that somebody experiences something.
• 32:33
  unknown: Yeah.
• 32:35
  SPEAKER_02: Right like and embrace it and you're like oh I and then maybe you might even feel weird you're like I didn't get to do the whole thing and I you don't feel right you feel like a little funny because something shifted in the yes but if you really track that Jacqueline if you track that throughout that day there's other things that will follow that once we open that door depending on how unconsciously somebody's living they may not even notice that stuff but there'll be other things like that where it's like okay you know the we'll start noticing changes in those patterns and the way that shows up is is discomfort.
• 33:10
  SPEAKER_00: It feels uneasy it feels like well that's not right.
• 33:14
  SPEAKER_00: But that's exactly how to get to that other side right so yeah I like I told you as far as like uh throttling back business owners when I work on them and they have such a hard time of people going I don't even know if you're the right guy for me.
• 33:25
  SPEAKER_00: I go just try it.
• 33:26
  SPEAKER_00: If I'm not then you can leave and I you know whatever and and stuff like that.
• 33:29
  SPEAKER_00: But everybody who does it in a very short period of time sees the benefit of doing that.
• 33:34
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah you know and it's and it's it's fascinating and I think that I think more listeners you take the steps to get outside what you do on a day-to-day and get and take what you do unconsciously and break the habit and break the pattern so that you can start being open to new things coming in and flowing so I I you know I think it's so important.
• 34:04
