Problems never go away. Problems will always be there. In fact, you want bigger problems. 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 Millionaires Millionaire Success Habits podcast. All success starts here. What's up? What's up? Welcome to the one place where I believe you can come week after week to get it like it's supposed to be told to get it for real. That there's no such thing as overnight riches. There's no such thing as magical money machines. But what there is, there's an accumulation of habits, of rules, of strategies that can create and have a result of sustainable wealth, happiness, abundance, joy. Hey, it's Dean Graziosi. Such an honor, such a privilege to have you here. And I hope every single week, in under 10 minutes, I deliver you something you can insert in your life to go faster, to go quicker, to hit that next level, to tap into your full potential each week, accumulating these rules. I've just watched so many and listen to so many podcasts that take so long to get to the message. Others I love. Others take too long. So that's my goal, give you something powerful every time you're here. So I hope that you're sharing this. I hope you're leaving me a comment. I hope you're following along so we can continue to make an impact on the world today. I want to talk about the world being too damn soft. I think we've gotten too soft. I think we're looking for success too fast. I think we're looking for the easy button. And I just want to tell you that the struggle is worth the result. And when I say we've become a society that's too soft, I mean we're all looking for the easy button without problems. I can't tell you how many people ask me, dean, now that you're successful, how do you avoid problems? How do you eliminate problems? And I guess I'm not trying to say people are naive. I bet you I thought about that in my 20s and 30s. I can't wait till problems don't exist. Here's a little something for you. Problems never go away. Problems will always be there. In fact, you want bigger Problems. Yeah, I know you heard me. You want bigger problems. I'm going to start off here and then we'll get into it. Because I've had so many of these questions of how do you avoid or eliminate problems? Is the bigger your problems, the bigger your success. Simple as that. Solve bigger problems, make more money, solve bigger problems, have better intimacy and passion and connection in your relationship. Solve bigger problems, get in better shape, solve bigger problems, get a bigger company. That's just the way life works. It's not about trying. And maybe that's what you've been fighting for, to get rid of the problems in your life. It's no, it's gaining the capabilities to learn how to navigate the territory, how to appreciate those issues, those problems, those failures as they come. Because you know it's the fuel to your next level. You're paying your success tax. You're going through the process that you need to learn to grow, to stretch your mind, to stretch your opportunities, to stretch your capabilities. You see, if I see someone driving down the road and they cut me off or I cut them off by accident and they flip me off, in my heart, what I believe is, wow, that person needs bigger problems. If I see someone at a restaurant and they're rude to the waitress or waiter because the food came out wrong, they ordered, you know, chicken or steak well done and it came down medium rare and they freak out, you need bigger problems. I'm at this phase in my life right now as I sit here and talk to you, that if I order chicken and they bring me well done steak, I'm eating the steak because at the end of my life, it won't freaking matter. What are you worried about right now in your life won't mean a thing. At the end of your life, what you're going to care about is that I make an impact. Do I live to my fullest? Did I not settle for okay? Did I not settle for good? All this little shit is just robbing you from where you really need to go. Where you really need to go in a lot of cases is you need to slay those problems that are bigger that you're frickin avoiding, that you're afraid to face. There are problems right now in your life you're dealing with, and I'm sorry. And there are certain things in my life, when they come up, I want to avoid them, I want to run the other way. But here's what I know and I've trained myself. If I don't face them, I will stay where I'M at I will plateau. I've grown, grown, grown, grown, grown. Don't want to face that one problem. Flat, flat line. So this is a wake up call for you in a lot of different ways. 1. Stop with all the nonsense. Stop complaining about the crap that doesn't mean anything. Get over it. Focus on solutions. Get over the little shit. Start focusing on bigger problems. Solve bigger problems. Get bigger checks. And then the granddaddy of them all is, I'd bet to say there's one thing in your life that you're avoiding. It's a conversation you have to have, It's a relationship you have to fix. It's a job you have to quit. It's a partner that you have to separate from or it's having the nerve to freaking go. Register that URL. Start the business. Register the mastermind. Start the workshop. Start teaching others real estate. Whatever it is, there's something in your life that you want. It lives on the other side of something you're worried about. It lives on the other side of a problem and somehow you're finding a way to not have the time to address it. Not having the people to address it, not having the energy to address it. You're finding some bullshit excuse to avoid this problem that's holding you back. So today I'm going to encourage you, like I do over and over, to face your problem. To know with absolute certainty that your next level of success, happiness, abundance, joy, lives on the other side of that. You see, my first or second real estate deal, real estate is what transformed my life. I've been cars and then firewood, then cars, then real estate, then writing books and real estate and then doing live events and always, I've always done real estate and writing books and doing live events, creating courses. And now I get the so blessed to write multiple New York Times best selling books. I'm just getting done with my book right now. I have the knowledge Business blueprint, the greatest course in the history of the world. The gold standard course where Tony Robbins and I teach people how to be in the knowledge industry. An industry heading towards a billion dollars a day. How to extract something, you know, get paid for. I've been blessed to do all these great things, but I have to tell you, back when I first started, I remember the stress and the worry and the problems it took to get my first second real estate deal done. Oh my God. Slow sleepless nights, stress, worry to make Thousands say it's 2000, 5000. Whatever it was, the stress level on a 1 to 10 was a 9.2. Well, about a year and a half ago, I did a deal where I went to the closing table and I think I got a check for 13 million, 14 million bucks. I didn't get to. That wasn't all mine. I'm not saying it was all mine, but it was a big deal and there was a lot of complexity went into that deal. But if I look at the worry, the problems, it was no more problems, no more worry, no more stress than that deal. I worried about when I made a couple thousand bucks. You can elevate your problems and get bigger checks. I mean, the worry and problems I deal with to launch the knowledge business blueprint or to write my next book or to create a course or to lay out this video. I got my paperwork laying out this video, this training, this audio for you right now. It's a problem. I had to face it. That's only one thing. But I would bet to say that a friend not inviting you to the movies or somebody talking behind your back or somebody not doing what they were supposed to do, it could spin you up and cause you as much problem and worry as it does for me to write an entire book. Now, I'm not saying look at you, you're screwed up and Dean, you're perfect. No, what I'm saying is take that energy, stop worrying about the nonsense, stop worrying about things that you won't give a shit about, and put all that energy, all of it, towards solving the bigger problems in your life that you're freaking avoiding. This is your wake up call. You deserve another level. You can achieve another level. Stop letting your inner demons, stop letting outside forces outside people tell you you can't. You can. If I can do it, if so many people I met can do it, you can. Can it happen overnight? No. In most cases, never. But will it happen with consistent, never ending change and improvement? Yes. And it all starts by you realizing that you not only got to face your problems, you got to slay bigger ones. And gain the capabilities is my last part. Gain the capabilities to solve problems easier with less stress, not try to find the capabilities to make problems go away. That's my message for you today.
