What if this was the week that there were no more options, no alternative path for your life except for the one that brought you the joy, the happiness, the wealth, the abundance that you desired? With all the opportunities that exist today, why haven't you reached your next level of income, life and wealth? In most cases, we've been lied to. We've been told that if you find the right opportunity and you work hard, you can be successful. And that's simply not true. Millionaires, billionaires, and successful people have realized you need the foundation for wealth, the habits. And that's exactly what you'll be learning on the Millionaire Success Habits podcast. All success starts here. So if you're listening to me right now, or you listen to other podcasts or read other books about success, making more money, having that next level of life, tapping into your full potential, that means you're acquiring wisdom, you're acquiring knowledge. You want to learn from other people who have played the game or are playing the game at a higher level. And I commend you, I congratulate you. I But here's what I know. This past week has been unbelievable. Starting a week ago, I jumped on a plane and flew to Portland, Oregon and had a mastermind with my partner Brendan Burchard for a company that we own Growth. It was amazing. Our students are incredible. We had such a good time. Jumped on a plane, came back to San Diego where I had a two day mastermind with my organized Brilliance group that's taking real estate investors that are doing over 20 deals a year want to go into the real estate business. We crushed it, rocked the house, had two days of that. Then I jumped in a plane and I flew to Idaho to see Tony Robbins and I had an amazing day masterminding with him. We went and played some golf. I love the way him and I play golf. We, he, we played nine of our favorite holes out of 18. It was incredible. We had a great day. Mastermind came up with some great ideas, slept over, got up at 5:30 in the morning, jumped on the plane again, flew to Orange County, California where I went on stage for my buddy Roland Frazier and Perry and Ryan Dice, who owned Digital Marketer, who also owned War Room and Roundtable. It's a mastermind. I spoke there, knocked it out of the park. Amazing group, got a standing ovation. It was incredible. They lit me up, I lit them up. Hopefully that's why they said thanks and then I jumped on a plane, got home late last night. As I'm sharing this and now it's early I probably look like crap, but I'm at the gym. It's about 5:50 in the morning because at 8:00 clock this morning, my deal lab mastermind starts. And that's where I teach people how to get into their first real estate deal. Now was I bragging? Hell no. But I get to see and meet so many incredible people that are gaining knowledge, that are gaining the wisdom, that are smart enough to pay for speed. To know that learning through your own trial and error is the dumbest thing in the history of the world. But here's what makes me sad. Out of all the amazing people I get to meet, from high level in my hundred thousand dollar a year group, to people I'm going to meet today that want to do their first deal in the lower group, I know the people that are going to make it. I can literally see it in their eyes. I can feel it. And the other ones, I work so hard while we're together to see them that they have a formula that makes sense. First, for you to pay for speed, for you to listen to podcasts, for you to read books. You're ahead of 98% of the world who just want more. They want to make the money, they want to be the leader, they want to win the game, but they're not willing to practice when no one is watching. That's what I teach my kids. I've been telling you guys the same thing I teach my kids. You want to win at the games, Practice, work. What you win when no one's watching, right? No one's watching these people out of Mastermind. But when their business explode or their new company starts or they get the real estate deals like, oh, how'd they get so lucky? They didn't get lucky and they cut a check. But once you gain the wisdom, once you feel it, once you know a direction, there's a couple of things I'm just going to be completely transparent about. Stop searching for 6 million opinions. Sometimes we get great advice and we don't take action. So we look for more advice and we don't take action and we look for more advice. We read a new book, find a new podcast, find a new guru, find a new expert. Because we're, we either don't take action at all or we dabble or we go in half assed so it doesn't work. We go, that didn't work with Dean Said. So let me try. What, Bob and then Joe and then Tony and then Brendan and we just keep going and going and going. I watch it I see it sometimes another person, another variation, and this is knocking you in any way. This is all about me getting you to take action and live the life you want. Another person who hides inaction with, I need to learn everything. I need to know all the rules, I need to read everything about it. I need to study. I need to get five courses and listen to 50 podcasts. And they go and go and go. And their inaction is caused by needing more information. Like if I study more, if I have more wisdom. It's really just your subconscious finding a way to protect you by not taking action. Because when you take action on something new, on the opposite side of that could be a failure, could, could be something that didn't work, could be scary. So your subconscious says, no, no, let's just get more data, let's get more data, then we'll take action. No, you're just scared, you're just fearful. And that you have to acknowledge what is holding you back. Is it fear? Is it worry? Is it, is it you feel you've created a story in your head that says, you know, maybe it's not the right time, or maybe I should feel safer, maybe I should be happy with the life I got. Your subconscious is protecting you. So the formula that I wanted to share with you today, what's on my heart, because believe me, I wanted to get up this morning, I wanted to stay in bed this morning, but I needed to take action because I'll feel better, I'll serve my clients better, my team better, if I go to the gym, if I, if I get that momentum. So here's a little formula. Knowledge, Amazing. You need it. Following others who have conquered the game before you and are crushing it. You need it. You must get in a mastermind. Learn from people playing the game at the highest level possible. Masterminds and group training have literally moved the needle for me more than anything in the history of the world. Knowledge, when it's thought through, when it's practiced, when it's in play, becomes wisdom. You're learning wisdom from most. If you go to the right mastermind, the right group, the right mentor. So you got the knowledge, you got the wisdom. You're surrounding yourself with information that has been proven to work. So what's left? It's taking action. That's the formula. Knowledge plus action equals results. What I'd love for you to do today is an action audit. Are you really putting into play what you are learning? Are you just dabbling? Are you over preparing causing you to be crippled, that you're not taking action and start using whatever it takes to ethically bribe yourself to take action. Listen, today I didn't want to get up. Simple. Going to the gym at 5:30. My alarm went off at 5. I really didn't want to go. I'm tired. You hear my voice, you never hear my voice. Have a little tiredness. I've been on the move, I've been in a plane every day, I've been teaching every day, talking every day. But what I did is I hacked my own brain. I said, if I don't go work out today, how will that make you feel? I didn't work out yesterday morning because I had to get up at 5 o' clock and jump on a plane. I said, you didn't work out yesterday, you're not going to work out today. How that make you feel when you play with your kids later? What if you're tired when you, when you put your pants on, there's a little muffin top on your pants. It doesn't matter what it is. I just use whatever it takes to get me to take action. If it's you saying, hey, in five years from now, I'm still going to be at this job, I'm still going to be stressed, I'm still going to have these bills, I'm still not going to live the life I want. I still can't retire my parents or take care of my kids, or put money away in savings or buy the car I want or have the freedom I want. Whatever it takes, clean get disturbed. Because if you get disturbed, it'll cause action. Or if the opposite, be disturbed. Say if I do this, I get to dream, I get to get the house, I get the life, I get more freedom, I get more control in life. All I'm saying is use whatever it takes in your toolbox. Whether it's being disturbed or whether it's getting excited to take action. Because knowledge, listening to me, listening to books, going to masterminds without implementing it is just wasting your time. Knowledge plus action equals results.
