The Successful Mind Podcast – Episode 394 – Accelerate Your Income Series: The Key To Empowered Prosperity – Part I
https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/content.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/TSM_Episode_394-Accelerate_Your_Income_Series-The_Key_To_Empowered_Prosperity-Part_I.mp3
Want to avoid low-income months this summer? Listen to this 8-part series, so you can “Accelerate Your Income” as we head into Q4. To get the best results, please listen to and study all 8 episodes. This is part 3 of 8.
Over the last 25 years, I’ve asked thousands of people who’ve made a transformation (not people who haven’t, but people who actually have—one simple question: “What do you feel was the first key to becoming empowered, prosperous, and achieving your dreams?”
Without fail, nearly every one of them said, “personal responsibility.”
Personal responsibility is the absolute first key required to create what you want in your life and accelerate your income.
In today’s episode you’ll learn:
Many of us were taught to blame others for our feelings, our problems, and the situations we find ourselves in—but by blaming, we give our power away
No one is responsible for your thoughts, feelings, or circumstances—but you
With blame comes a kind of judgment that creates limitation
Nothing has any meaning until we give it one
Why we need to let go of our “story”—because it’s just another form of blaming
It’s easier to earn seven figures and above than it is to stay below that number
Everybody on the planet controls their own income
The only thing you can change is your experience of the situation
To take back your power, you must take responsibility for every thought you think, every emotion you feel, every action you take, and every result in your life.
By taking full responsibility, you’ll be able to create whatever you want and break free from all the limits you previously thought were holding you back.
Come back tomorrow for part 4 of this 8-part series

The Successful Mind Podcast – Episode 393 – The Universe Won’t Hold Your Past Against You
https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/content.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/TSM_Episode_393-TEM90A_MDM_7-28-20-The_Universe_Won_t_Hold_Your_Past_Against_You.mp3
If you want to change something in your life, you need to commit to building a 90-day foundation to change the habit.
My clients often ask me, “What do I do if I break my commitment?” The moment you break it, you have to start over again. Otherwise, you’re programming your mind to fail. You have to be honest with yourself. You can’t shortcut this. We want to get this right for ourselves, so that it’s no longer a problem in our life.
It doesn’t matter how much you screwed up yesterday—the universe does not hold your past against you. It immediately responds to whatever you’re putting out TODAY.
In today’s episode you’ll learn:
How to leverage the foundation you build, so you can maximize your potential
When you gain a higher level of awareness, you never lose it (and you can’t go back)
How we limit ourselves by choosing to work in a “vehicle” (e.g., a job) that has limits
Why you must act and behave like the person who’s already getting the results you want
What it means to “suspend disbelief” and act as if your success is certain
How I went from being miserable, making $20,000 a year, to changing my attitude and tripling my income in 30 days
What to do if you’re struggling to keep your commitment
It’s either win or die. We’re not here to be average. We’re here to do something really magnificent and play by a different set of rules.
Once you make a commitment, you can’t go back (not even for one day)—you must “burn the ships” and be in the mindset that you’ll win no matter what.

Want to avoid low-income months this summer? Listen to this 8-part series, so you can “Accelerate Your Income” as we head into Q4. To get the best results, please listen to and study all 8 episodes. This is part 2 of 8.
Many years ago, I wanted to transform my life and significantly increase my income. I wanted to be who I truly was—not the version of me who’d been created out of a dysfunctional family, with hard times and poor decision-making. (That wasn’t who I wanted to be.) So I decided to do 3 simple things for an entire year:
– Fall in love with what I was doing
– Change my poor work ethic from “hating what I did,” to giving my best in everything I did
– Treat every person with respect for the rest of my life
I put faith behind the idea that if I focused on these 3 things, my life would transform. This was me “claiming my results.” I changed who I was being, and my income tripled in 30 days.
In today’s episode you’ll learn:
What it means to put yourself in harmony with what you desire on an energetic level
How “loving what you’re doing” cause you to see things with a completely different eye of understanding
We get results when we claim them
You must train your mind to think the way you want to think
We need to stop talking about how bad things are—and start talking about the things we WANT
Your desire is the divine plan for your life, and your faith guides you through that plan (it’s like an invisible roadmap of “yeses”)
We get whatever we expect—so we need to have positive expectancy about what we want
Entrepreneurs need to master the concept of faith and get to the place where you know you can manifest whatever you need
Plus, I share an exercise to help you strengthen your faith. Whatever you want the universe to manifest in your life, it will come through the strength of your faith. This means you must say “yes” to what you desire—even when you don’t know how it will happen.
Your income will start to accelerate rapidly once you’re harmonizing with everything that is beautiful, good, and love in your life.
Stay tuned next week for part 3 of this 8-part series!

Want to avoid low-income months this summer? Listen to this 8-part series, so you can “Accelerate Your Income” as we head into Q4. To get the best results, please listen to and study all 8 episodes. This is part 1 of 8.
Most of us were raised with the idea that we can’t do something until we have everything we need—the resources, the money, etc.—in order to do it. But that’s not how spirit or the laws of the universe work.
The laws of the universe work in such a way that when you say “yes” to your desire—and you make a decision to act on it—you’ll be met with the next thing you have to do.
In Napoleon Hill’s great book, Think and Grow Rich, he called this “opportunity.” He wrote about the “sly disguise of opportunity”—and how we’re usually blind to something that’s right in front of us, due to our belief system.
In today’s episode you’ll learn:
If you have a desire, the way to fulfill it is already here—otherwise, you wouldn’t be conscious of that desire
There’s a difference between “change” and “transformation”—and if you want to accelerate your income, you have to transform who you are on some level
We struggle, because we’re tied to the person we think we are
Why we need to stop looking at our past (where our memory and experiences are stored)—and instead, let our desire lead us into our future
Transformation is about becoming something new and bringing in something new
Desire is spiritual in nature; it has a magical element to it
God doesn’t speak to us through fear
To manifest your desire, you need to make a decision
If you want to accelerate your income, you need to be willing to step into a transformation (not just a change) and allow EVERYTHING in your life to radically transform itself.
You can begin to say to yourself, “What if this was true? What if I actually allowed this possibility to come into my life?”

The Successful Mind Podcast – Episode 390 – Lessons From The Vault: Overwhelm & Bright Shiny Object Syndrome
https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/content.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/TSM_Episode_390-Lessons_From_The_Vault-Overwhelm_Bright_Shiny_Object_Syndrome.mp3
In order to bring wealth into our life, we need to focus on the end result. It’s often said that if we focus on something, we’ll either attract it to us—or we’ll manifest an opportunity to get it.
While that’s true, we also need to have a “vehicle” (such as a business) through which to bring in wealth. Without some kind of vehicle in place, wealth can’t come in.
In today’s episode you’ll learn:
Why you can’t count on random money to consistently show up “out of the blue”
You have to have a vehicle (e.g., a business) in order to create wealth—and you have to be entirely focused on growing that vehicle
Why the feeling of overwhelm shows up, and what it’s an indication of
How to prioritize what needs to be done and remove the drama and emotion from whatever you’re dealing with
Why a so-called “easier path” is often bright, shiny object syndrome in disguise—and a distraction that creates more problems
One question to ask yourself whenever you’re getting distracted
To reach a specific end result, you need to move forward within the “vehicle” you’ve chosen to grow. Bright, shiny object syndrome attacks you where you’re weak. It’s often your subconscious mind trying to get you to go a different way, when you already have a sound plan in place.
The distraction protects you, so that you don’t have to grow. It promises to be easier—when really, you’ll be headed for disaster if you go in a different direction. All it means is, it’s showing you where you need to grow in your current place.

The Successful Mind Podcast – Inside Episode 389 – We Live In Truth
https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/content.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/Inside_Episode_389-We_Live_In_Truth.mp3
Growth is a moving target that we never fully reach, and this makes a lot of people uncomfortable. Most people would rather avoid growth than go through it. Change and growth are threatening for many people. But if we’re not growing, we’re dying.
If you want to set yourself free (from an awareness perspective) in this lifetime… then you have to WANT to change, and you have to WANT to know the truth. We need to face the truth of why we’re here, and what we were created to be.
Today BT and I are going deeper into what it means to “live in truth.” We discuss:
How I discovered the work of Sterling Sill (he wrote the book, The Laws of Success and comes from the LDS community)
Thurman Fleet’s background as a chiropractor (he was involved in the healing arts and taught his students about how the mind works)
Fleet’s philosophy on how higher consciousness can heal the body, and how we can stay in the right vibration
Why you should “test” all information for yourself to see if it’s accurate (and this strengthens your belief in it)
Why it takes so long to get out of negative programming and replace it with accurate thinking
How to strengthen your focus—and not be distracted by outside influences or be reactive to circumstances that pop up
Plus, I share a story I’ve never shared before about an old friend whose wife was threatened by the possibility of him changing his life for the better.

We all have a spiritual energy that’s moving to and through us—and it becomes an exact replica of our outside world. Whatever is going on inside of us, is also what we see outside of us—whether we’re conscious of it or not.
Just like a computer can only do what it’s been programmed to do—your mind operates based on however it was programmed to operate. That’s why we must pay close attention to what we’re feeding our minds,, what we’re “ingesting” on a regular basis, and what we’re being programmed by.
Today I’m teaching on the idea of “living in truth.” I’m drawing upon the wisdom of Sterling Sill and Thurman Fleet (from manuscripts that are unavailable to the general public).
You’ll learn:
Our eyes see whatever our perception tells our eyes to see
We’re constantly being inundated with a verification of whatever we’re programmed to believe
How the mind becomes susceptible to the ridiculous
What it means to create a “split of consciousness”—separating your mind’s reactions from universal consciousness, Christ consciousness, Krishna consciousness, etc.
How many people are “molding themselves into a deformity and shifting away from the divine” by focusing on criticism and hate
We model our mind into whatever we’re focusing on (even if it’s the crazy political situation)
Our judgment about what we’re observing unconsciously carries over into our business
Plus I’ll share some gems and quotes that can help you deepen your understanding of the truth…like Fleet’s idea that “When one acts as though he wants to be a nobody, nature assumes he is in earnest and grants his wish.” Or Confucius’s line, “Jest not over holy matters.” Or what it means to “Love your enemies” (as Christ said).
The truth is… if you want to change your opportunities and results, you must first change how you SEE things—so you can make different choices, to create the life you want.

The Successful Mind Podcast – Episode 388 – The Common Denominator of Success
https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/content.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/TSM_Episode_388-TEM90A_MDM_7-26-20-Part_II-Common_Denominator_of_Success.mp3
In 1940, Albert E.N. Gray gave an incredible speech to life insurance salesmen at the National Association of Life Underwriters (NALU), in which he spoke on “the common denominator of success.” The common denominator of success is a belief that eliminates chaos, brings order, guides you on what to do, and shows you what to focus on.
In today’s episode, I’m reading Gray’s speech and highlighting some of his biggest gems…which include:
The secret of success isn’t hard work alone—many people work hard without ever succeeding, and many people succeed without working hard
Successful people are influenced by the desire for “pleasing results”—while failures are influenced by the desire for “pleasing methods”
Successful people form the habit of doing things that failures don’t like to do
Success is “unnatural” and isn’t achieved by following our natural likes and dislikes—nor by being guided by our natural preferences and prejudices
Supporting your family isn’t a sufficiently strong purpose to make you form the habit of doing things you don’t like to do—because it’s easier to adjust ourselves to the hardships of poor living than it is to adjust ourselves to the hardships to make a better one
Gray says every business person must get good at 4 habits to be successful—prospecting, calling, selling, and working. If you master the first three, the fourth one (working) will take care of itself.
Ask yourself: “How can I embrace the things I don’t like doing, do them with enthusiasm, and make them fun?”

The Successful Mind Podcast – Inside Episode 387 – Know Thyself
https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/content.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/Inside_Episode_387-Know_Thyself.mp3
Today BT and I are going deeper into what it means to “know thyself.”
Knowing yourself—and understanding why you want the things you want (i.e., your motives) is everything. By NOT having this understanding, you risk blindly going through life, reacting to everything without understanding why.
In today’s episode we discuss:
Why it’s important to know yourself and understand how you’re perceiving things
You’re the center of your own universe—and nobody else is observing things in the same way YOU’RE observing them
You either see yourself as a victim life…or you don’t (and the difference between the two)
Your perception is based on the meanings that were given to you about the things you’re perceiving
What we can learn about truth versus falsehood from the movie, “The Silence of the Lambs”
Why Vernon Howard was such a huge influence on my own personal growth—and how he helped me learn more about my behaviors, my ways of thinking, and my judgements (which I had no clue were there)
Good books to read to understand stoic philosophy and how to keep things simple
There’s an old stoic saying: “Know the truth and the truth will set you free.” There’s a very different energy about the truth…versus a “story” you’re convinced is true.
Do you know yourself and why you do the things you do?

The Successful Mind Podcast – Episode 387 – Know Thyself
https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/content.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/TSM_Episode_387-TEM90A_MDM_9-27-20-Know_Thyself.mp3
The early Greeks instructed us to “know thyself.” This maxim is the key to self-improvement and self-enlightenment.
Knowing yourself is about knowing who you are, what you do, your tendencies, your weaknesses, your strengths, and uncovering the hidden things about you that control you. When you know yourself, you know everyone else. You understand their motives, intentions, and what they’re doing.
Vernon Howard is one of the best authors and teachers I know of who can help you study yourself. In today’s episode I’m covering many of his ideas, along with Marcus Aurelius’s principle of simplicity.
You’ll learn:
How to look at complex problems and break them down to each separate part
Truth cannot and will not force itself on anyone who’s not ready to see it—we have to actually WANT to see the truth before we can see it
The truth is simple; lies and falsehood are complicated
To understand the truth, you have to know yourself
What it means to “see the wrongness” (i.e., ignorance or misunderstanding) in what you’re doing
Every obstacle exists within ourselves
There’s only one “true gate” and a thousand false gates
The higher the barrier, the greater opportunity is for advancement
Why you should let your higher self think for you
When you see the truth in any situation, the suffering goes away. When you shine a light on the darkness, the darkness goes away. But you have to be willing to see the truth. You’ll see it when you’re ready to see it.
