Now let's begin. How do we put you in a good mindset to have a fun and a joyful, a conscious, a thrilling and exciting and adventurous week. All these things your mindset are going to control. So we're excited to talk about that. Jamie, I have a pop question for you to start the day, but I was reading somebody who was commenting from Norway and she asked Brendan, what is it you and Jamie think you have in common?

Let's see. I'm curious about your answer for this. Me too. I think we both love the idea of bringing the joy in the morning and all day long. I think that we are both personal growth geeks, dorks. We geek out on like, let's see, every day I feel like I learn more things we have in common. I learned that even as kids and young adults we were into quotes and watching Dr. Martin Luther King speeches and watching the best, you know, most inspiring people in the world speak so much. I think that we are both really, really good friends to other people. I think that we both delight so much. Right. Well, what I was going to say, this is why in the personal growth world, right, I think there's so many people part of growth day that probably love so many of the growth day coaches, and also just so many people out there that have spent decades also in the personal growth space. I think why you're called Godfather of Growth by everyone else is because. And I think we have this in common. I think we both celebrate other people's talent, celebrate other people's wins, and say, how can I lift them even higher? And I think that's something we both have in common. I think we both get such joy out of that. Whether it's someone in the growth day community, we're celebrating something they're doing, or it's a friend or anyone else. So I think we have that in common. But what do you think?

I do want to emphasize what you just said, though, because I think it is a mindset that we share in common, which is very uncommon by nature, which is a lot of people see other people succeed and they get jealous. They. Or they want to copy them, or they, you know, they have a little bitterness inside about it. And I think you and I are just free of that. I don't know where that comes from, but I think it's big. When I came in the personal development space, and I was lucky to be you got. Most of you guys know, I was so early in the online space, like, so early in terms of, like, personal development. I think I was, if not the very first person in the personal development space to hit like a million on Facebook. Back in the day, maybe I was number two or three, but it was. It was so early. And at that time, when I came on in the personal development space, especially like 2000, I would say 5 and 6, it was so competitive. No one over here shared their marketing secrets with anybody over here. No one shared, like, how they're building their audience over there. No, it was like it was almost complete siloed. You had these gurus. Most of them didn't even know each other or talk to each other because their egos were so huge. They didn't. They felt like everything was competition. Every new that competition. And it was like, what I do love about social media is it created a new mindset for collaboration. And so now everyone does collabs Right? And it was, like, always pushing the industry forward to share what you learn, share what you learn. Like, all this stuff we should always share. Here's my strategy. Here's your copy. Here's the email. Email sequence. Here's the thing. Here's the ad. Like, just share, share, share, share, share. And I think you and I do that a lot. And it really differentiate us in our career, with our teams, really in the marketplace, because then everybody also loves and respects the person who's most giving. And I think I really. I think that is a big mindset. When we share, I think we share. Gosh. I think we both share joy in the little things. Like, we geek out a lot. Like, little things can really just make our day, or we can obsess about the little things as well. So it's just like a little things focus, I think, is big, matched with the ability to also hold space for great dreams. I don't think a lot of people can do both or have the intention or the discipline to make both to take in the joys and the pleasures of the little moments, but also have expansive ambition. Because I think the most important mindset people can have is expansive ambition for their lives, their family's lives, the impact they can have. Because I think the number one limiting mindset in the world is just thinking too small and thinking too poorly of yourself without realizing, like, people like, how.

Can you have such big dreams and visions?

Brendan, you're from this small town in Montana. You had no money coming up, and I was like, oh. Because I don't think my destiny or my vision has much to do with me or is limited by me. I have so much trust in God that I believe expansive things will happen just as the universe is expanding. I just really believe that things will expand if I keep showing up with a good attitude and working hard and taking care of people. Yeah, that's my mindset. Show up with a good attitude, work hard, take care of people. If I do that every day, that's a good mindset to have a good intention. And I think they'll be rewarded.

Hey, it's Brendan, and I want to jump in the middle of this episode here real quick and tell you about something I'm really excited about and something that answers a question that many of you have for me all the time, which is, Brendan, where do you get this crazy focus and energy in your life? And the truth is, I've developed a supplement line that really helps me do that. And frankly, I needed to. I don't know about you. But sometimes when you're trying to achieve big things, a lot of stress comes along. And as you're trying to achieve bigger things, you need to be on your A game more often. You need to be mentally sharp, you need to be mentally prepared, you need to be mentally energized and productive. And not once in a while, but like every day, you have to be on and sometimes guzzling more coffee isn't.

Going to do it.

I love this message. I talk about a lot and believe it actually. How I had to overcome some of the things like I remember when I was working as a Denny's waitress, right. And like to really adopt this mindset of where I come from does not determine where I'm going or where I'm even at right now in this moment in time doesn't limit the ability to have like God sized dreams and to have experience. Expansive, expansive vision. And one of my closest friends, Leah Key, always says, you know, she grew up in a homeless shelter and she saw people all around her that did not dream, that let fear rule their life. And I'm talking about her immediate family and you know, her mother, though her mother said something to her as a little girl that stuck with her. She said, your predicament doesn't determine your destiny. And she'd always say to Leah, you have a light inside of you, right? And Leah held onto that even during all the years growing up in the projects in Philadelphia when she was able to get out of a homeless shelter. And you know, she, she was like, where I come from doesn't determine where I'm going. And slowly over the years she started making friends that had, you know, expansive vision like she does. And, you know, you fast forward now and she has created her own company, launched it on QVC. So she went from homeless to 100 million homes with her jewelry line. And, you know, it's all about mindset, Right. For her, it wasn't, oh, did you come from the right family? Do you have any connections? Do you have any money? No, it was. For her, it was what made all the difference was adopting this mindset of believing in the possibility of her own dreams and her own self, even if she couldn't figure out how it was going to happen or how to get there one day. And I love that we're focusing on mindset this week on growth day morning show because I think that it's like. It's like the thing. It's like the most important thing, more important than where you're at right now. Where's the traction happening or not happening in your business right now? What's going on with all the setbacks and the hard times in this hard season, we've come out of the mindset getting that right life changing.

That's truth. That's truth. I think that is just a huge, huge miss for most people is that simple. You know, what's true is what I love about this growth day community is all of you. When I say mindset, you automatically know the insane value of that. People who love personal development know like, oh, that's foundational and. But when most people come into personal growth, they've had years of bad mindset. They've had years of a bad attitude or they've suffered, you know, doubt, depression, discouragement for so long that it's like, oh, wow, this is the right mindset. And the ability to generate that right mindset on a consistent basis is a revolution for your life. It's not like an incremental change. It's like every. It's night and day. It's light and dark. It's joy or suffering. It is such a huge topic that I just believe most people take advantage of or take for granted. But I know that our growth day community knows that.

You know, and also one thing I want to share just that's coming to mind right now. Yeah. With the topic of mindset, Brendon is something that you brought up earlier. Right. Which is this idea and I love these words. I write all about this and believe it. I talk about how this big realization I came through that we are not here on this earth to compete with anyone else. Right. We are just here to compete with who we know we are born capable of. And I want to share a real life story that happened to me recently in real time, actually. And I found it fascinating as it pertains to mindset because I think so many people are tuning in. They are part of our morning show right now. And maybe it's good to just do a self check on. Are you comparing yourself to anyone else and are you thinking someone else is your competition and getting distracted by it versus thinking, oh, I am on my own journey. Who am I capable of becoming? And what if you actually just celebrate that other person's achievements? And here is a quick story that just happened to me that I was kind of like, huh. Because, you know, when it comes to women in particular, this is super antiquated way of thinking. But there's still amongst a lot of women this idea of like, oh, because they're so used to just seeing one woman at the table in a boardroom or what? And so they. There's a kind of a limited way of thinking that we're overcoming that if someone else. If another woman wins, it means it takes away from your chances of winning. Right. There's just this competitiveness that just isn't true. Right? It's just not true. And Abby wambach says, you know, her victory is your victory. And it's so true. Anyways, I'm like thinking, wow, this antiquated mindset of people thinking that someone else is a threat to our own, like, our own success, it's so antiquated and it's so not true. And in my own journey of building it, cosmetics, from this tiny company to now, the large. It's the largest luxury makeup company in the US now. Which is wild, right? It passed all the department store brands. I used to save my day.

I remember you texting us when that happened. It was like, crazy, right?

But, like, if I, on that journey of building this huge company had, like, got distracted thinking these other brands were my competition, I would never have been able to build something different or special. I would have limited myself to thinking, oh, this is my competition. It's like, oh, no, no, no. Our potential is our competition. The potential we have inside of us is our only competition.
