Transcript
- 0:05Speaker 1: I do not believe.
- 0:07Speaker 2: That any of us have dreams that were not given
- 0:11Speaker 2: to us for the purpose of accomplishing those particular dreams.
- 0:16Speaker 3: If you feel you have something to give, if you
- 0:19Speaker 3: feel that your particular talent is worth developing, is worth
- 0:24Speaker 3: caring for, then there's nothing you can't.
- 0:28Speaker 4: Achieve your success every day. Success is a daily thing,
- 0:34Speaker 4: not a destination thing. So many times people have a
- 0:40Speaker 4: tendency to devalue the moment today. What they do is
- 0:46Speaker 4: they greatly value the destination, and so they kind of
- 0:51Speaker 4: talk about, well, when I get there, or if I
- 0:53Speaker 4: arrive there, or when I do that, or when I
- 0:55Speaker 4: accomplish this, and they don't understand that success is a
- 1:00Speaker 4: daily thing. And I'm here to share with you that
- 1:03Speaker 4: the secret of success is determined by your daily agenda.
- 1:10Speaker 5: The actions that you take now affect your future.
- 1:14Speaker 2: The little decisions that you make, they matter.
- 1:18Speaker 1: They add up.
- 1:21Speaker 2: Whatever you really want once don't get met consistently, standards,
- 1:25Speaker 2: do whatever you identify, this is who I am.
- 1:28Speaker 1: And so it's not so much about changing.
- 1:30Speaker 2: Your identity as there's expanding it, you know, deciding that
- 1:34Speaker 2: you know instead of your goal is to lose ten pounds,
- 1:37Speaker 2: which is not compelling. What if your vision was to
- 1:40Speaker 2: get back to my fighting weight. You know this, this year,
- 1:43Speaker 2: this month, this next ninety days, I'm going to transform
- 1:45Speaker 2: my body. I'm going to take on a new challenge.
- 1:47Speaker 2: I'm going to find some technique or strategy. There's a
- 1:49Speaker 2: million of them that can reframe myself. Or I want
- 1:52Speaker 2: to feel younger, stronger, more vibrant than ever before.
- 1:54Speaker 1: Here's my reasons.
- 1:55Speaker 2: Because I want the energy to really make my life
- 1:58Speaker 2: work because it's tough out there, and to be stronger
- 2:00Speaker 2: than I've ever been before. I want to go in
- 2:02Speaker 2: front of the mirror and if I'm naked, not you.
- 2:04Speaker 1: Know, I want to laugh.
- 2:05Speaker 2: I will look there and take a good look and go, yeah,
- 2:08Speaker 2: I'm proud of whatever I see there. Whatever it takes,
- 2:11Speaker 2: something's gonna make you last smile. Sometime's gonna tease yourself,
- 2:14Speaker 2: but something's gonna move you to another level. If you
- 2:17Speaker 2: identify yourself in a new way and you own that
- 2:20Speaker 2: every day and that becomes to stare out how you live,
- 2:23Speaker 2: you'll find the way to make that standard real.
- 2:26Speaker 1: If you don't work out, you don't get you don't
- 2:27Speaker 1: get a muscle.
- 2:28Speaker 2: Right. So I always tell people this is there's a
- 2:30Speaker 2: daily practice like priming. If you don't do that, if
- 2:33Speaker 2: you get up and you just have no discipline whatsoever,
- 2:35Speaker 2: you get no value in anything.
- 2:36Speaker 1: And diets don't work when you don't do it. The
- 2:37Speaker 1: extise doesn't work when you don't do this.
- 2:39Speaker 2: But most of people have had some experiences that they
- 2:42Speaker 2: want to shift, and once you shift those things.
- 2:44Speaker 1: Your whole life changes. But life is constant growth.
- 2:46Speaker 2: My life isn't here because I went to one seminar
- 2:48Speaker 2: one time, and my life is fit for life. I
- 2:51Speaker 2: work out, I train my mind, I train my body,
- 2:53Speaker 2: and it becomes.
- 2:54Speaker 6: A lifestyle, basic fun and then tools being applied over
- 3:02Speaker 6: and over and over and over again. Getting up a
- 3:06Speaker 6: certain time, doing with certain things, cooking your meals, going
- 3:11Speaker 6: to you know, do your cardio, walking through the disciplines,
- 3:16Speaker 6: keeping the checklist, and staying on top of them. Those
- 3:20Speaker 6: are the things that you know, when you string them together,
- 3:25Speaker 6: start to create a day of efficient action. More likely
- 3:28Speaker 6: you are to string those days of efficient action together,
- 3:31Speaker 6: the more likely it will be that you can set
- 3:33Speaker 6: up your own success.
- 3:36Speaker 4: So I have a challenge for every one of you
- 3:38Speaker 4: this weekend.
- 3:38Speaker 1: The challenge is simple.
- 3:40Speaker 4: As you go through your weekend and sometimes it's kind
- 3:43Speaker 4: of a hopefully an easier time of your week. Ask yourself,
- 3:49Speaker 4: am I practicing self discipline in my life? Am I
- 3:52Speaker 4: doing the things that I should do because I need
- 3:55Speaker 4: to do them? Or am I kind of waiting to
- 3:57Speaker 4: feel the moment like our friends Nike.
- 4:01Speaker 1: Say, just do it.
- 4:07Speaker 7: Here's the key to a better memory. Information combined with
- 4:11Speaker 7: emotion becomes a long term memory. Information combined with emotion
- 4:15Speaker 7: becomes a long term memory.
- 4:16Speaker 5: What do I mean by that?
- 4:18Speaker 7: Is there a song or a fragrance or food that
- 4:20Speaker 7: could take you back to when you're a child. Of course,
- 4:22Speaker 7: because information combined with that emotion becomes a long term memory.
- 4:26Speaker 7: The challenge back in school is what was the driving
- 4:29Speaker 7: emotion you had back in school? For most people that
- 4:31Speaker 7: are bored, right, and a few times anything by zero,
- 4:34Speaker 7: what do you get? You get zero? So most people
- 4:36Speaker 7: don't remember what they learn back in school because of
- 4:38Speaker 7: the state. Remember this, all learning is state dependent. All
- 4:43Speaker 7: learning is state dependent. That if you want to learn more,
- 4:46Speaker 7: control your state. Now who's in control of your state?
- 4:49Speaker 7: You are because you are a thermostat, You're not a thermometer.
- 4:52Speaker 7: What do I mean by that? What does a thermometer do.
- 4:54Speaker 7: A thermometer reacts to the environment. It reflects what the
- 4:57Speaker 7: environment is giving it. And so we are all at
- 5:00Speaker 7: some point and that affects our state.
- 5:02Speaker 1: Right.
- 5:02Speaker 7: We react to the weather, we react to the economy,
- 5:04Speaker 7: react how people treat us. But in reality, where's a
- 5:07Speaker 7: locus of focus? Who has a control?
- 5:10Speaker 2: You do?
- 5:10Speaker 7: Because you're a thermostat. A thermostat is different, right. A
- 5:13Speaker 7: thermostat says a vision, it sets a goal, it sets
- 5:15Speaker 7: the standard, and what happens is in the environment. The
- 5:17Speaker 7: environment raises to meet that thermostat. And for you, you
- 5:21Speaker 7: want to identify with the thermostat. And the most important
- 5:24Speaker 7: thing that you want to have control over is how
- 5:26Speaker 7: you feel.
- 5:27Speaker 1: Here's what I've created for my life, and anyone I
- 5:29Speaker 1: know is succeeded.
- 5:31Speaker 2: I'm a seventeen year old kid from AZEUSA, California, with
- 5:35Speaker 2: no real education other than self education, with no background,
- 5:39Speaker 2: with parents that did their best, all of them.
- 5:44Speaker 1: With no money. But I did one thing.
- 5:47Speaker 2: I love people, and I had an enormous demand I
- 5:50Speaker 2: made upon myself and I sculpted my mind and my
- 5:53Speaker 2: emotions to get me to do whatever it would take
- 5:55Speaker 2: to achieve and to contribute. But to do that, I
- 5:59Speaker 2: did it by using my body and changing my focus.
- 6:02Speaker 2: I did it by putting myself in a peak physiology
- 6:05Speaker 2: and using what I call incantations.
- 6:07Speaker 1: Can you train yourself to believe something? Yes or no? Absolutely?
- 6:12Speaker 2: How many have you ever made the fatal mistake of
- 6:14Speaker 2: going to Disneyland or Disney World, and while you're there,
- 6:17Speaker 2: made the fatal mistake of going to a ride called
- 6:19Speaker 2: It's a Small World. After all? What happens for about
- 6:23Speaker 2: a week after you're out of that damn place, you're
- 6:26Speaker 2: still singing this thing in your head in twenty four languages.
- 6:28Speaker 1: Right, Well, let me tell you something. How many of
- 6:31Speaker 1: you have things when you.
- 6:32Speaker 2: Want to go achieve him and this part of you
- 6:34Speaker 2: voice goes, oh, it's not going to happen, or forget it.
- 6:36Speaker 2: How many go to voice that sometimes interrupts that good pattern?
- 6:39Speaker 1: Say aye? And what you want to do is train
- 6:42Speaker 1: a new one.
- 6:43Speaker 2: So, starting when I was seventeen, I started doing incantations,
- 6:47Speaker 2: not affirmations affirmation You go, I'm ampium.
- 6:50Speaker 1: Happy, I'm ampiam hampy, I'm happy.
- 6:53Speaker 2: What's the problem. You haven't changed your what? Your what physiology?
- 6:58Speaker 2: If you don't change your physiology. You will get anything
- 7:00Speaker 2: so in incantatious and only you speak it, but you
- 7:03Speaker 2: embody what you're saying with all the intensity you can,
- 7:06Speaker 2: and you do it with enough repetitions that it sticks
- 7:08Speaker 2: in your head.
- 7:09Speaker 1: Like it's a small world.
- 7:10Speaker 2: Now, the conversation in your head is always the same
- 7:12Speaker 2: and it gives you what you want. So use your
- 7:14Speaker 2: body and your voice. So seventeen years ago I started
- 7:18Speaker 2: doing things. I was working for Jim Rome, this speaker,
- 7:21Speaker 2: and I was seventeen years old. I had long hair,
- 7:24Speaker 2: MINISTRANTI soup act me on my face, and I was
- 7:27Speaker 2: trying to call on bear Sterns type of people and
- 7:29Speaker 2: convince them why they should go to this man's seminar
- 7:31Speaker 2: and be more successful. I was driving nineteen sixty eight
- 7:34Speaker 2: Volkswagon that I had earned it forty dollars a week
- 7:36Speaker 2: as a janitor. The only way I did it was
- 7:39Speaker 2: park far from the building and then go in. And
- 7:42Speaker 2: I love people and I believe, but I put myself
- 7:44Speaker 2: in state and I was able to influence people that
- 7:46Speaker 2: were far more successful.
- 7:47Speaker 1: Than I was at the time.
- 7:48Speaker 2: I would do something that I still do backstage and
- 7:50Speaker 2: have done for twenty three years because I don't hope
- 7:54Speaker 2: I'm going to be in a good state.
- 7:55Speaker 1: I demand it. So I do an incantation using my
- 7:58Speaker 1: whole body.
- 7:58Speaker 2: I'd say, I now command my subconscious mind to direct
- 8:02Speaker 2: me in helping as many people's postile life today to
- 8:04Speaker 2: better their lives by giving me the strength, the emotion,
- 8:07Speaker 2: the persuasion, the humor, the brevity, whatever.
- 8:09Speaker 1: It ta is to show these people and get these
- 8:11Speaker 1: people to change their lives now.
- 8:13Speaker 2: And I would do that literally, driving in my Volkswagen
- 8:15Speaker 2: to a meeting in LA on the freeway for forty minutes,
- 8:18Speaker 2: people are looking at I'm screaming the top of my lungs.
- 8:21Speaker 2: They're going, I know he's a serial killer.
- 8:22Speaker 1: I know he is. But by the time I entered
- 8:26Speaker 1: that room, when two people.
- 8:27Speaker 2: Meet, if there is rapport, the person who's most certain
- 8:32Speaker 2: will always influence the other person.
- 8:35Speaker 1: And I was totally certain, and they were trying to
- 8:37Speaker 1: get reved up to certainty. Do you agree with this?
- 8:39Speaker 2: Yes or no? I do another one. Because I was poor,
- 8:42Speaker 2: I changed my mindset. I kept doing things, but I
- 8:45Speaker 2: never got beyond it. I'd say God's wealth is circulating
- 8:48Speaker 2: in my life as wealth flows to me in avalanches
- 8:50Speaker 2: of abundance. All my needs, desires, and goals are met
- 8:54Speaker 2: instantaneously by infinite intelligence. For I'm one with God and
- 8:58Speaker 2: God's everything, and I would imagine the abundance of my
- 9:01Speaker 2: life and I would feel so grateful. Kind of you
- 9:03Speaker 2: learning I went from making thirty eight thousand dollars a
- 9:05Speaker 2: year to make a million dollars a year in one year.
- 9:08Speaker 5: Here's how you develop a passion. It starts as a
- 9:10Speaker 5: minor area of interest. You gain areas of interest by
- 9:13Speaker 5: encountering a lot of stuff. So if you haven't countered
- 9:15Speaker 5: a lot of things in your life, go out there
- 9:17Speaker 5: and encounter stuff. Go sailing, Go take a dance class,
- 9:21Speaker 5: go study neuroscience like whatever it is. Just encounter a
- 9:25Speaker 5: whole bunch of very broad, diverse things. From that, you're
- 9:28Speaker 5: going to get sparks of interest, like, oh, I actually
- 9:30Speaker 5: found that interesting. I want to learn more. Dive deep
- 9:33Speaker 5: through engagement, not through pondering. Through engagement, you're going to
- 9:38Speaker 5: realize whether something is going to turn into an area
- 9:41Speaker 5: of fascination. So as you go deeper into it, you're
- 9:44Speaker 5: gonna either become fascinated or you're not. If you're not fascinated,
- 9:47Speaker 5: move on. If you are fascinated. Then that's an area
- 9:50Speaker 5: where you're going to ask yourself one very simple question,
- 9:52Speaker 5: Do I want to become the best in the world.
- 9:55Speaker 1: At that thing?
- 9:55Speaker 5: If you do, if you want to become truly extraordinary
- 9:58Speaker 5: in that thing, then go down the path of gaining mastery. Now,
- 10:01Speaker 5: the reason I think that it's wise to ask that
- 10:03Speaker 5: question going in is when you frame it of I'm
- 10:06Speaker 5: going to become the best in the world at this
- 10:08Speaker 5: immediately people understand the amount of time, energy, and weight
- 10:11Speaker 5: that it would take to become truly great at that thing.
- 10:14Speaker 5: And I don't think that passion can happen unless you're
- 10:17Speaker 5: becoming truly great at that thing. That's part of passion.
- 10:22Speaker 5: I don't think people are deeply passionate about something that
- 10:24Speaker 5: they really suck at. And I'll give you an example.
- 10:27Speaker 5: I love video games. I absolutely love playing first person shooters.
- 10:31Speaker 5: I learn a lot from them, I get a lot
- 10:32Speaker 5: out of them. I really just intrinsically enjoy the time.
- 10:36Speaker 5: It has both that sense of eating a cake because
- 10:38Speaker 5: it's just fun in the moment, and I pull from
- 10:43Speaker 5: it life lessons, business lessons. I practice getting out of
- 10:46Speaker 5: the sympathetic nervousystem into the parasympathetic nervousism. It's literally gamified.
- 10:49Speaker 5: So I'm getting better. I have points, I can, you know,
- 10:52Speaker 5: have my improvement turned into metrics. It's all of it.
- 10:56Speaker 5: I really really enjoy, but I won't say that I'm
- 10:58Speaker 5: deeply passionate about it because I'm just not that good
- 11:00Speaker 5: at it. So it's one of those things. If I
- 11:02Speaker 5: really wanted to develop a deep passion for video games
- 11:05Speaker 5: and put it at the center of my life, that
- 11:07Speaker 5: then I would set down that path really practicing. Now
- 11:10Speaker 5: this is like, this is the most important thing that
- 11:13Speaker 5: passion will do for you, which is it's going to
- 11:15Speaker 5: pull you through boredom. It's going to pull you through
- 11:18Speaker 5: the hard times. And that's why it's really got to
- 11:21Speaker 5: be something that you just are prepared to become great at,
- 11:24Speaker 5: because when you're prepared to become great, there's just these
- 11:27Speaker 5: insane moments of boredom, repetition and all of that, and
- 11:31Speaker 5: if you have this burgeoning passion coming out of that,
- 11:33Speaker 5: that's what's going to give you the energy to get
- 11:34Speaker 5: through it. So it's this symbiotic relationship between a developing
- 11:38Speaker 5: passion and how hard it is to actually really get
- 11:40Speaker 5: great at something. So the things you get great at
- 11:42Speaker 5: need to be something that is this developing passion. So
- 11:45Speaker 5: there you have it. That's how you do it and
- 11:46Speaker 5: that's why you do it.
