Mindset Over Skillset - Ep.2 - Your Order From the Universe

This is the Wealthy Contractor Podcast brought to you by G4 Marketing. Interviews with today's top home improvement entrepreneurs about marketing, sales, money, mindset, and lifestyle. Now here's your host, Brian Kaskavalciyan. Hello and welcome to another episode of the Wealthy Contractor Podcast. This is Brian Kaskavalciyan with G4 Marketing Group. And so what we're going to do here, a few months back, I did a podcast within a podcast, if you will, and I called it Mindset Over Skillset. And I really only did one episode, and I meant to do many more. And now I'm getting around finally to doing episode number 2. And episode number 2 of Mindset Over Skillset is actually based on an article that I wrote earlier this that got a lot of really great feedback. And recently I showed it to somebody and they said, man, you got to make this into a podcast episode. So I said, okay. And I thought, you know, I would do it under the Mindset Over Skillset banner. Now, I also kind of wanted to do something because we're right before Thanksgiving and I just wanted to do something, put something out there just to thank all of you for being such loyal supporters of the podcast. You know, we've got, I don't know, like 80+ 5-star reviews on iTunes. We've got hundreds of thousands of downloads. And everywhere I go, I get feedback from people about the podcast, which really helps me to keep going, if you will. The other thing that I wanted to mention here is if you haven't done so already, go and grab a copy of my new book called "The 7 Secrets to Becoming a Wealthy Contractor." And you can still get a free copy if you go to thewealthycontractor.com, thewealthycontractor.com. I just ask you to pay shipping and handling on the book, but I still have some free copies available. And so go and grab yourself a copy. I think you'll enjoy it. So to this episode, so the article, the title of the article was called Your Order from the Universe Is Ready for Pickup. Now a warning, and I said, and I put this warning actually in the article. So some of what you might hear is a little what some people might consider out there, quote unquote out there. And it contains a very personal story. So if you're not real open-minded, this may not be for you. However, it is a, you know, real life experience. And over and over, you know, what I try and bring you here are just real life experiences and things that I've gone through. And obviously the people that I interview, what they've gone through. To become successful in their business, whatever the business is. Okay. All right. So here we are coming up against the end of the year. We're going to pull out scorecards and we're going to see, you know, did we hit our goals? Did we not hit our goals? This is kind of likely to be what we're going to be talking about here through the end of the year. And for most, critically important piece of this puzzle might be missing. So I can't really believe that I can say this, but I've been at this game of business for nearly 30 years. Yes, that long. And one thing that I know for certain, every successful person I know including every wealthy contractor, works just as hard, in fact, actually probably even harder on their mindset as they do on their skill set. Now, you probably already know that the law of attraction is hard at work for you or against you every minute of every day. And just in case you're not familiar with the law of attraction, in its simplest form, it is We attract into our lives what we focus on and what we think about most. Now the big question here, as we kind of wrap up, uh, one year and we're gonna start a new one, is are you purposefully attracting into your life what you really want? Like, are you attracting the income that you want, the relationships that you want, the level of business success that you want, the key staff that you want, and we can go on and on. For most people, the answer would be no. Why? In most cases, it's probably because there's no focused, committed effort. Now, here's the problem with most of us humans. We live most of our lives by default. By default, we run pre-existing programs over and over and over and over and over again. I don't know if you know this, but most of the thoughts that we think every day are the same thoughts we thought yesterday, last week, last month, last year, heck, even 10 years ago. So most humans live by default rather than by proactive design. For anyone that is a real student of success, you know that we become what we think about most of the time. So to be, do, or have something different than we have now, we must think different. Now, just to— I didn't make this stuff up. Okay, the way that this works, think about how this works. Your thinking leads to your beliefs, your beliefs lead to your actions, your actions lead to your habits, and your habits will lead to your results. Now, of course, it's not always this simple because most of our thinking is done at our subconscious level. In other words, it's automatic. It's that default mechanism I was just talking about. And the majority of the thoughts, like I said, are the same as yesterday, last week, last month. Last year, 10 years ago. This is why so many people struggle to raise their income from one level to another, especially when that level is a big leap. Or if they do raise their income one year, it oftentimes will fall back to where it was before because they haven't shifted their mindset to that new level of income. So the mind will default back to what is safe. Now, in order to affect real change, real change, we must have what Napoleon Hill in the book Think and Grow Rich called burning desire. We must have a burning desire for the outcome we want. We have to really, really want it, then ask for it, then live and act with expectancy and gratitude that it is on its way. Just passively wanting a thing and thinking about it once or twice does not cut it. Now I want to tell you a personal story, okay? About a year ago, a little more than a year ago now, me and Addie, my wife and my business partner, made a decision that we needed a new fun couple to hang out with in Miami. Over the years, we've gotten much better at this whole Law of Attraction thing. So we put our order into the universe, our order being, this is what we want. And we put our order into the universe with intention, and we fully expected the universe to deliver. By the way, I use the word universe because it's a neutral term. You can substitute that with anything that you feel most comfortable with. Now, there were certain conditions about these friends that were important to us, and we made those very clear as a part of our quote-unquote order. Now, to give you an idea, one of my conditions was that the man in the couple would be Armenian. Okay, so I'm Armenian, and we tend to like, you know, being around each other. Okay, so Funny enough, about a year ago, you know, but relatively short time after we put the order in, by the way, we went to dinner with a couple and we immediately hit it off. In fact, we had one of the best nights out we had had in a very long time. Then we hung out with them again, and you know what? We've hung out with them just about every week, if not once, twice a week. We even went to Europe with them over the summer for like 3 weeks. The universe delivered our order, and even better than we had originally imagined. And oh, by the way, in case you're wondering, the universe is so awesome that yes, the husband is Armenian. Pretty cool, right? Now let me introduce you to something called the Law of Polarity. The Law of Polarity. Okay, this is gonna put a new wrinkle into this whole thing. Years ago, I learned about the Law of Polarity and how it applies to the Law of Attraction from a guy named David Nagle. Basically, the Law of Polarity states that if you have the desire to be, do, or have something, then the means to acquire that desire must be around you right now. Now, here's how I want you to think about the Law of Polarity. Here's this. It's a law of nature. If there's an up, there's a down. If there's a left, there's a right. If there's dark, there is light. So if you have a desire to have a successful business, whatever that means for you specifically, a certain level of income, drive a certain type of car, live in a certain type of house, well, guess what? The means for you to have that or be that, or do that, is right around you right now. The problem is you're just not aware of it because you haven't properly placed your order to the universe. Remember, when you place your order to the universe, you have to place that order as if you are all— it's already happened, it's on its way. You have to have expectancy and gratitude. If you don't have those, then it's a, it's a long road. Now you want to hear how crazy all of this is? So this quote-unquote new couple is not new at all. They had been around us for years. In fact, my daughter, my older daughter, and their daughter have been friends for years. They were on the cheerleading team together. In fact, my daughter took their daughter to school for a year. Then their daughter returned the favor by taking my younger daughter to school the following year. But guess what? We never really hung out with the parents. We saw them, we met them once or twice, but until we had the intention, until we placed the order until we were clear about what it was that we really, really wanted, they didn't show up. And so there they were for 5 years or whatever it was, right around us. In fact, the craziest thing about the whole thing, even it gets even crazier, is they practically like live down the street, like 3 or 4 minutes away from us. And there they were the whole time, right? So if you have a dream or a desire for your business or your life, place your order to the universe right now, but be very, very clear about what you want delivered to you. See, the minute you place your order with intention, with expectancy, and with gratitude, the universe will immediately get to work on your order. Again, it gets to work immediately. Now, you got to work at this, because if you get tomorrow— if you place the order today and tomorrow you get unclear, confused, or fearful that the outcome will never come to be, then you can be certain it will never show up. The universe can only respond to exacting instructions. From my experience, the universe wants to deliver to us everything that we want, whether it be business success, money, the perfect employee, the perfect spouse, anything, even new friends to hang out with. It's ready to fulfill for you. You just have to take a step and place your order. And remember, if you have a desire to have, again, a successful business that you've defined, whatever success means for you, the means by which to bring that about are already around you, because you can't have the desire without the means for its fulfillment already there. It's just not possible. So think about what might be missing today and place your order. Place it with clarity and with confidence, with expectancy and gratitude, and it will be ready for pickup soon. This is Brian Kaskavalciyan with G4 Marketing Group and The Wealthy Contractor.
