The Higher Self with Danny Morel

Jessie Rodriguez is an entrepreneur since the age of 19, and he has gone from losing everything in the crash, to bouncing back with an HGTV show. What are the success lessons we can learn from him? Why is it so important for an entrepreneur to stay fluid and nimble? How should we be gearing up for a market correction? On this episode, we talk to Jessie about his lessons on entrepreneurship. Takeaways Sometimes we spend time on how to make money instead of fine-tuning our businesses to save money. Order materials for contractors: if someone isn’t checking they could be taking it to another job. You either survive on fear of loss or on motivation to gain. At the start of the show, Jessie shared the characteristics of an entrepreneur and why success has so much to do with constant learning. Next, we talked about how he got through the recession and actually found success during that time, and how he parlayed his success into a TV show. Towards the end, we talked about the right time to start a new business venture. We also discussed; Why there are more opportunities when the market crashes Where Jessie finds his flips How to discover your next big business Entrepreneurship is a game of constantly learning, and not being too proud to do so. Ultimately, the ones that keep learning are the ones that keep growing. A lot of us often give up on things before we’ve really put in the work, but you can’t start something else if you aren’t kicking ass at what you’re already doing. Remember in the case of market corrections, there are many opportunities for people who position themselves correctly, so anticipate, embrace and get ready to grow from that change. Jessie is a powerful example of how you can find ways to win during tough times.

People don’t understand the tenacity and hard work it takes to build momentum and long-term success. What do most people get wrong about what it takes to maintain success and wealth? What is wrong with the current conversation we are having about entrepreneurship? On this episode, I have a chat with Gary Vaynerchuk, who shares some powerful insights we all need to hear. Takeaways You’re either investing in your business or you’re not. The thought of passive income that you need to rely on in any shape or form is ludicrous. Real estate is attractive to a lot of people because it’s easy when the market is good. Self-awareness is the key to everything. At the start of the show, we talked about how Gary runs his company, and why there’s no such thing as passive income. Next, we talked about why real estate is such an attractive industry for a lot of people. We also talked about why self-awareness and truth are so important. We also discussed; Why there’s no shortcut to wealth and success Facebook ads The problem with the current entrepreneurship conversation The current conversation around entrepreneurship is all about champagne bottles, private jets and other trappings of wealth. The problem with this is people get the wrong idea about the level of work they have to do to get and maintain those things. People want the objects but they don’t want to put in the hard work that goes along with it continuously and forever. We need more conversations about the right way to do things, and that is, to be honest, work hard and be patient.

Most of us get to a victory and celebrate it so much we lose momentum. What causes this kind of behavior? What makes it impossible for us to grow? How do you rise above your comfort zone? Why is it so necessary to get honest about where you are right now? On this episode, we talk about how to expand your victory threshold. Takeaways The only way you’re ever going to make a million dollars a year, is once you realize that it’s not a big deal. The subconscious mind has a small victory threshold. Identify what your normal is because that’s a comfort zone for you. At the start of the show, we talked about why getting to a victory is just part of the process, and how our pasts and upbringing affect the levels we’re able to reach. Next, we talked about why people are always looking for inspiration. We also discussed how to start expanding your victory threshold. We also talked about; What keeps people from doing more How to rise above your normal Why the subconscious mind has a small victory threshold If you’re ever going to make it, meet your full potential and get to the full capacity of your abilities, you really have to take a hard look at your victory threshold. If it’s too low, you’ll never be able to make your dreams come true. It’s your job to succeed and to grow, so there’s no need to make such a big deal when you achieve it. Identify what your normal is because that’s a comfort zone, and then create a new target and go for it.

Most of us are held back by the negative stories we tell ourselves when things happen. How do our negative stories keep us from growing? How does our ego drive this behavior? On this episode, I’m going to share a powerful lesson I learned from my own experience with my car. Takeaways When circumstances and situations happen, our egos will immediately go into defense mode, because its job is to keep us safe. There are two kinds of entrepreneurs, the one who accepts responsibility when something goes wrong, and the one who places blame on external factors. The way you do anything is the way you do everything. At the start of the show, I shared a story about how I built up a huge negative story when my car kept annoying me with rattling sounds, and how it was solved so easily. Next, I shared the lesson I learned from that about a common mistake we make. Towards the end, I talked about the steps you can take to start overcoming your own negative stories. I also shared on; How the ego is responsible for the stories we tell The two types of entrepreneurs The two states human beings are usually in There are only two states you can be in. You can be in a loving state where you’re happy, joyful and grateful. You can also be in the hell of your own negative thoughts and the stories you’ve built around them. If you’re not performing where you want to perform at, it’s because you’re living in hell in your mind. I challenge you to really examine how often you tell negative stories informed by your perception and not reality.

Most entrepreneurs aren’t able to fully commit and really work at their businesses because they have too many options. How do options affect your actions? What is the one thing all successful entrepreneurs do? On this episode, I talk about options and how they affect your success. Takeaways 80% of humans don’t know how to handle change. Employees are more likely to show up than independent contractors because they don’t have as many options. It’s so important to always learn, adjust and innovate. The one thing that makes it hard for a lot of entrepreneurs to show up, get to work on time and really put their all into their work is having too many options. If you can commit like you have nothing else, you will change everything and make your business grow. Learn to take control of the things you have influence over so you are not distracted from doing what you need to do for your family. tter.com/dannymorel

One of the best ways to reach your goals is to get exposed to people who are working at a high level. What are the most dangerous things in business? Why is tracking in business such a necessity? How do you adjust if you’re not getting the results you want? On this episode, we are joined by former Wall Street banker and successful businessman Michael Margolies, who shares the mindsets and practices that have been instrumental in his success. Takeaways Machine learning is putting unbelievable stress on people to become fast learners. You have to create a repeatable process to replicate your success. Assess what you’re doing periodically and make sure you’re working off of 60-day or 90-day plans. At the start of the show, Michael shared how he got started, and why it’s so important to be a lifelong learner. We also talked about the strategy all successful business organizations have, and why it’s so important to always be in action mode. At the start of the show, Michael shared how he got started, and why it’s so important to be a lifelong learner.

We also discussed; The importance of tracking and knowing your numbers The quickest thing to adjust if you’re not getting results In business, you’re either walking towards the light or walking towards the dark. It’s so crucial to arm yourself with as much education as possible, and to know your business in and out. In today’s world, there’s no hiding, the cycles are fast and it quickly becomes evident who is BSing and who isn’t. Stay in an action-oriented state of mind, and always organize and prepare so you’re ahead of the curve.

As human beings, our nature is not to push, strive, or go all in. How do we work against our human nature so we can make our dreams come true? Why is it so critical to make fast business decisions? How do you use numbers and data to formulate your goals? On this episode, I call audience members who have questions about growing their businesses. Takeaways The way you do anything is the way you do everything. The faster you can move people through the year, the more money your business is going to make. Our ego tries to keep us safe and protected, and that makes it hard for us to really push. At the start of the show, I talked about the importance of going after your goals with passion and intensity, and why your brain needs to move faster when you want to do well in business. Next, we talked about the importance of having specific and deliberate goals. We also talked to a businessman who wanted to go from third in his market to number one. We also discussed; How are ego keeps us from growing The importance of having a data-driven business The greatest way to impact your kids If you want to do business at a really high level, your mind has to function faster and you have to make business decisions fast. If you take a long time to make business decisions, how long will it take you to lead other people to make decisions? If you had a client that was also full doubt and fear, and that felt normal to you, you would do a lot less business and you would never meet your goals. Remember, your result will always be a direct reflection of what you’re feeling inside.

Getting onto television is something most people can only dream of, but Kelli Ells has done it. What are her secrets to success? Why is it so important to be authentically you? Why should you knock down your walls? On this episode, I talk to HGTV host, interior decorator, and marketing expert Kelli Ellis. Takeaways If you’re a conduit of other people’s success, you have to be open. Make sure every social media platform and online presence is consistent. Don’t let people start accounts for you and forget your password. At the start of the show, Kelli shared on her journey from law school student to getting a show on HGTV. Next, she shared on the challenges of building her business as a single mom. We also talked about the importance of not having walls, how Kelli branded herself with her look and a marketing tip. We also discussed; Why humility is so huge The importance of consistency Why you shouldn’t be attached to the outcome There are three kinds of people in this world, no people, maybe people and yes people. Yes people get to their goals much faster because they don’t have barriers and limiting beliefs. It’s so important to put out a message that is consistently you, and for you to always be who you are so that you actually stand out. Be honest and cut ego out because it won’t move you forward.

We hold ourselves back from achieving when we don’t give ourselves more immediate goals to chase. Why is it so important to have both little goals and big goals? How can you take action on the things you don’t like about your life? Why is showing up a crucial component of success? On this special episode of the Danny Morel show, I share an exclusive internal message for our team members. Takeaways Showing up: when you miss one day of your routine, it doesn’t just cost you that one day, because it’s hard to get back to the routine. Just showing up to the office will double your results. People start changing when they no longer accept things and start striving. At the start of the show, I talked about the importance of having the right skills and habits as an entrepreneur. Next, I talked about why giving back is a big part of growing. I also spoke about the importance of having “now goals” to chase, and why you have the power to influence change in your life. We also discussed; The power of plugging in and getting into the office Why you need to get an accountability partner How to stop accepting and start thriving You have the power to impact and influence the future, but it starts with you taking inventory of your life and deciding that you’ve had enough of where you are right now. Whatever you learn, remember to grab the lesson and challenge yourself to change in the way that needs to change. If you really want to put rocket fuel into everything you do, make sure you’re always working towards a goal for now. Fix what you aren’t satisfied with, and impact and influence the things in your life that you don’t like.
