Hey, my friends, it's Brendon Burchard and welcome to the Brendan Show. This is a podcast about helping you reach high performance in your life, in every area of your life. It's about staying more motivated, more confident, more disciplined and on purpose. You know, the high performance experience is really about feeling more vibrant, more connected, more excellent, more fulfilled in your life. But it's also challenging you because you and I both know it's difficult to reach those levels of high performance without support, without ongoing commitment and dedication to your own personal development. So welcome to our HPX community. Thank you for joining us here on the Brendon Show. I'm super pumped for today's episode. Before we begin, I want to let you know that we have specials right now on our HPX nutrition line. If you didn't know it, I rolled out three specific products to help you with your performance. These are three specific supplements that will really give you the edge. Now, don't worry, I'm not starting an MLM or a downline. I'm not asking you to promote any of my products. And frankly, just like you, there's a lot of different companies and a lot of different products that I love and I enjoy and I'm not trying to compete with. It was specifically, I could not find three world class supplements that specifically helped me in these areas. So we've got HPX Optimize, which is a mental focus and energy product for your brain health. Then we've got Essentials, which is a functional multivitamin which we've basically enhanced for longevity, for joint health and for vitality and digestion. But what we did, instead of like making a multivitamin where they sprinkled a million different things in there that actually have no effect, we put in dosages here that you'll be amazed by. And then finally we've got HPX Organic Boost, which is the energy drink mix that I take because it's 100% organic. Organic. It's actually delicious too, I have to tell you that. So go check it out. Hpxwellness.com, everything you need to know is right there. And if you've ever wanted to know how to reach the high performance experience in terms of your biology and physiology, these products can really support you. Go to hpxwellness.com and without further ado, onto today's episode.
Sometimes though, you go, what is it that I'm really after now? Because it changes, you know, sometimes the kids leave the house, you're like, what am I after now? Sometimes you have the kids, you're like, what am I after now? Sometimes the new business starts a new idea, new venture. You heard a lot about opportunities here, about how to grow and develop and start new things. And you have that rattling inside. And I was like, what is it that high performers so often want after? You know, they've got good or after the comfortable life, or they've learned the philosophies of the charged life. Like, what is that next thing that we can all aim for to really experience the overall high performance experience. And I've been working on this for literally about a year and a half, trying to beat this thing up in my own mind. I tested it out with some clients and friends. I'm like, what do you feel about this? So we're draw something out together. So make sure you have your journals. And what I'm going to draw out is a simple diagram that I think explains a lot about what we all kind of are after for the next level, right? Cause who's ready for the next level? Say that's me. That's me. Yeah. And you gotta go there, but it's on you. So turn the person left, right, shake them, say it's on you. So we talked a lot about yesterday. What I think lives in our heart and our soul. And I shared with you is I said, sometimes what's planned for you is bigger than you know now. Sometimes what's planned for you is bigger than you know now. And while we've been working on things that we might know and we might really care about, and at different stages of our life, we have different missions. And you've been here, you've been thinking about one type of mission while you've been here. Maybe that one dream, that one goal, those series of goals or projects, it's in your heart and you feel it. And almost most of our life kind of rotates around some types of missions that we ascribe to something that we believe in, something that we really want to do. That goal, that dream and the mission can change for people throughout their life, just like a purpose can. Because it's a good way to think about what we're aiming for, our purpose and most of us want to feel each day when we wake up, we have that sense of mission. Like, okay, I'm contributing, I know what I'm contributing. I know what I'm doing today. I know what I'm going to make happen today. I know I'm going to allow in today. I know my free time, I know my fun time, I Know my family time. I know what I'm going to get done. And we want that sense of mission in our heart. We wanna feel it each day. So that motivation is the problem. Cause when you're tapped into mission, motivation ain't a problem anymore. And sometimes though, you gotta find like what that is. You gotta be in experiences, what that gives you. You have to be in places. How many found a higher level of mission calling sense or goal being here at hpa, ladies and gentlemen. And so you've gotta find like, what's gonna drive you, what are you excited about? But it's not always easy to find. Sometimes you need to work with somebody one on one, a coach. You need somebody in your family or friends to talk you through, like this stage of your life. You need some kind of experience. Whether you come to Transformation Week with us or you do something where you just kind of think like, what is it about me now that will drive me? Sometimes your mission is at certain parts of your life, you're like, oh, I'm all about legacy now. Sometimes your mission at another part of your life. I'm all about money now. Sometimes it just changes. It just changes. I don't know yours, but you need to know yours. I also think what people want the next level of is they tend to want this next level up here of lifestyle. You know, lifestyle, you know, God, it's different now. You type in lifestyle goals on Instagram or something like that. It's like, you know, yachts and fancy clothes and champagne bottles, which are fun. Nothing against all that, but what happens is, like, what we really want is that different level of lifestyle where the day is a little better, where the things we interact with are a little better, where we feel we're at a higher level, where there's a lifestyle. We're like, wow, this is what must feel like to be rich or famous or fully on purpose or in my soul or connected or present or on high, like whatever it is for you. But we want that lifestyle where it's not something you get motivated once in a while. It's not that lifestyle. It's like up and down, up and down and up and down. You know what I'm saying? It's like lifestyle where it really is in you. That's why I keep calling it like the high performance experience. There's a high performance lifestyle. You know, I'd love for you to experience another level of lifestyle, not motivation on a Monday when you see that YouTube video, not when you just, you know, watch me or Dean or Trent or Lewis or Jen or Ra on Instagram and you get excited. But like every day you're just like in this high performance lifestyle where you feel it, you get up, you're doing the things that you're supposed to do to be your best. You know, when you're out in the world with people, you are doing the best of you and it's there all the time. Who's there in that game with me, ladies and gentlemen, like that kind of thing. Everyone wants the next level lifestyle and you gotta find what that means for you and get the tools, the resources, the conditioning, the coaches, whatever it is for you. Because one thing again I honored Louis for. He identified what he worked through and he found systematic ways to get better. I think the next level from that is you really architecting a new life for yourself. The life you know you were meant to live.

We all sometimes get tired and sometimes we're worried about our overall health. And So I created three specific products to help you with that. Go to hpxwellness.com, check out our nutrition line, and let's get you to high performance baby. HPX wellness.com.
Now the other thing I recognize people want is, and this is gonna be sensitive, right? This is gonna be sensitive for some people. And you might, this might not be your thing. I understand that not everyone wants these things equally, but I really do believe that people want something down here called financial abundance. But here's the deal. Everyone knows that. And I think there's a specific thing that we actually want. And my belief about this could be wrong or right for you on Sunday. And lots of people don't like talking about money, but I really feel like if you don't make the money, you can't sustain the message. If you don't make the money, you can't make the lifestyle. If you don't make the money, you can't serve the mission deeper. Like some part of you knows that with more resources, you can serve better, you can live better, you can experience something better. So it's okay to want money. It's okay, like as I made more money, I could give out better tools, I could get better lights, I could make the sound better. I could bring in my friends and fly them places. I could take care of my family. I could buy my mom a house. Like, I believe that you wanting this is okay, but I actually believe that what most people don't understand, that they really want, they want automated. Okay. Another way of saying they want recurring revenue that is happening. And they don't have to worry if they're awesome on Monday, that they have set up kind of systems or automations or teams in ways this is handling itself so that you can focus even more on these types of things. How many follow? It's just a different. It's a different approach. And I honestly think too many of you in the room haven't thought strategically or systematically about doing this for your life. And I'm saying that with respect. Cause that was me. I mean, when I had struggled financially, I was even embarrassed to talk about money because I didn't have any. And then when I started making some and I was in the comfortable life which most of you guys were in, I was like, I had enough. And now, because I didn't have a lot of now, when I started getting just enough to be comfortable, I kind of hoarded it. And for a series of years I kind of plateaued. And I didn't like invest for the next level. I just didn't. I didn't, you know, like, there's financial comfort and then there's the investment required to have financial abundance. How many understand, it's like whether that is investing in your team, that is investing in a new process, a new tool, a new system, something. When you do that, does it change your life? Yes or no? Yeah. So you have to just know, just be cautious of like, what happens is we just get comfortable, we just want to hoard. And we don't think always, especially when we're really comfortable. We don't think enough about that next level of investment. It takes to get the next level. And I failed with that. I didn't think about hiring the next level of coach. I didn't think about going to magical experiences. I didn't think about like arranging trips. I didn't think about investing in courses, investing in all the things we talk about here as part of the high performance lifestyle. I had about six, seven years. I didn't do that. And it was like this. And then I was like, you know what? I have to start thinking more abundantly. I have to start not just believing in myself more, but investing in myself more. And that's why I honor everyone in this room. Cause you made the choice to invest in yourself. And how many of you are damn thankful that you did it because you're.
Here, ladies and gentlemen. Yeah.
So follow that. If something opened up for you here, stay in that. Something said, there's a better, abundant world for me. Stay in that. What everybody wants is this. They want more feeling and depth in life. They want to, like, feel their soul and their spirit and their body again. Right. They want to feel the day, everyone say, even just see how good the phrase feels to say. Everyone say feel the day. Put your hands on your heart and say, I want to feel the day again. How many of you felt the days? Day one, two, three, and four at hpa, ladies and gentlemen. Oh, I felt you. Look at me. I'm this fired up after four days of not sitting down in suit shoes. I'm this annoying right now because of the energy and the joy that you've got and you've given me. So I celebrate all of you guys. You bring feeling into my life, and I hope I brought some into you over the last four days, too, my friends. Yeah. And I'm like, listen, there is a greater feeling. There is a greater depth, and at the top of this circle, if we could name what is going around here, you know, what we all want? We want a greater sense and to be proud of our character. When people talk about legacy, what they usually mean is this one plus that one character. Who I was in life. I want to be proud of who I was in life. I want to like the person I became. I want my kids to look up to me. I want the people in my industry to go, yeah, that person was a good person. They followed their values. They had integrity. They lived in full. You know, that's the stuff. The people that you admire, whether it was your family or other leaders, you admired them because they're characters. It's true. Something about them, something about them. And I think this is what we're all after. All right.
