How To Accelerate Your Personal Growth
24 Jan 2020 · 10 min
Dean Graziosi argues that sustainable wealth, joy, and long-term success require ongoing personal growth and mindset work in addition to tactics. He explains that people who only obtain money without developing emotional intelligence often lose it or remain unfulfilled. Using his collaboration with Tony Robbins on the Knowledge Broker Blueprint (KBB) as an example, he describes a course structure that leads with mindset training then provides tactics and systems; he recommends committing 2–4 hours per month (or week) to personal development and points listeners to his books and courses.

So is personal growth annoying? Is it a must? Or is it just an added bonus? Welcome to the Dean Graziosi show. All success starts right here. Hey, I want to address this topic straight on about personal growth, personal development, gaining new capabilities, success strategies, whatever the heck you want to call it. Because so many people will say to me, dean, I love all you do. You inspire me. But just, just show me how to make the money. Like, give me your biggest tip on marketing. Give me your biggest tip on how to raise money. Give me your biggest tip on how to get a partner who believes in me or someone to loan me money. And here's what I got to say. Why is it that so many people that hit lotto have the resources, right? They get the money, but they lose it all. Why is that? Because they might have a million dollars, but they don't have a million dollar mindset. You see, people who create sustainable wealth, in so many cases, they had a start at the bottom. And as their income grew, so did their emotional intelligence. So did the failures that they had that they had to overcome. If they didn't work on their personal growth, they never would have gotten over them, right? So as they had a failure, success, failure success, their emotional intelligence grew, their mindset grew, their. They're working on their personal growth whether they know it or not. And those that obsess on personal growth are the ones that go to the next level of abundance, joy and success. And whatever success means to you. It could be the growth of a connection with your family, being a better mom, dad, husband, wife, father, brother, sister. You see, there's a great debate that everyone says is, is it mindset or the tactics? Half the world will say, just give me the tool, man, I'm a hustler, I'll get it done. The other half of the world says, I can't even get off the couch to start. I need the mindset. So what's the answer? The answer is a magical mix of both. Now, if you know anything about what I've done in the last year with my partner, Tony Robbins, creating the knowledge broker blueprint, the KBB course. So this isn't about selling the course. This is about breaking something down and why it works so well and why today, maybe for the first time ever, or reminding you, I want to share with you that there is no sustainable wealth. There is no way to get rich and create the freedom and the joy and the happiness you want in your life without working on your personal growth. That's just the way it goes. Sorry to tell you if you think it's annoying, I'm sorry. But this is the journey for true abundance, true joy in your life. Let me get back to the course. So Tony and I have a passion to release a course, a training to teach the world how to enter the knowledge industry. An industry that he, he's been in for 40 plus years, I've been in for 20 plus years. An industry that transformed our lives. We gained self education and we were able to do amazing things. But then we deliver self education back to the world and we get to be in an industry that's one of the fastest growing in the world right now, that impacts people's lives and we get paid to do it. It's so incredible that we wanted to create a process, a system, a gold standard for the world to extract what they know, share it with other people, have a methodical process, have the standing operating procedures, have the marketing, have the software, all those pieces. Right? So again, I'm not selling you the course right now, I'm just telling you what I've been up to and why this course has gone on to become a movement. Why this course is in over 80 countries, why over 2,112 niches have been identified, like every niche you can possibly imagine, from cutting wood to building houses, to doing hair, to fly fishing, to marketing, sales, health, relationships, childbearing, everything you could imagine, I mean it's happening. But why? Why do some courses or some trainings maybe inspire you but nothing gets done? Or you get the tacticals but you don't take action? And I want to tell you why, because there's a magical combo. And I want you to take this example from what I believe is the best course ever created, that's making the biggest impact with the most success of anything I've ever seen in my 20 something years, Tony in his 40 something years. Why? What makes it so great? There's a lot of courses and trainings that sell great, but they don't make the impact. Here's why. Because the first part of the course is complete mindset. And who better in the world to train that than Tony Robbins, right? We know that if you don't break through those fears, if you don't shift your limiting beliefs, if you let the people around you bring you down, if you don't realize that success leaves clues, all the things you've heard, if you don't set the right intention, if you don't know how to overcome obstacles and focus on sol, all the things that you think are the little things are Actually, the big things, in fact, they're bigger than the big things. They're everything. And it just is so apparent at this phase of my life. Now, if you told me this, I'll be honest with you. If you told me this in my 20s, I'd be like, dude, whatever. I'm a freaking hustler. I can outwork you, outrun you. I could stay up all night, I don't need sleep. Just give me the way to make the money. Give me the tool. I got this. That's what I would have thought. And that's why so many people get a taste of wealth and it goes away. It's why people who are trust fund kids, if they're not taught personal growth, they have a unhappy life. They might have the money, but they don't have true fulfillment. That's why people with lotto again win it but lose it. In fact, if it was up to me, I would make it that every lotto member had to take a year of personal growth lessons. And I would say from Jim Rohn and Dale Carnegie and Earl Nightingale and Tony Robbins and Wayne Dyer and Eckhart Tolle and Brendon Burchard and myself and others, they'd have to gain Capab. Gain personal growth. You like how I slipped myself into that mix? They'd have to gain personal growth and then they'd get the money. Get their emotional intelligence up to the million dollar standards, get their mindset up to the million dollar standards. That's why I wrote Millionaire Success Habits. It's the habits. It's not telling you how to get rich. It's how you have the foundation for long term wealth. And that's why the KBB course has gone on to become a movement. Because people don't realize they're coming for the tactics and the capability maybe to impact lives or make money, but they're actually getting what they need in the the mindset to become unstoppable. To chew through a brick wall if you have to. To not give up the first sight of negativity or something going wrong. And once you have the right mindset, then of course we give them the tactics and the process and the system. Extract what they know, share it with the world, find the ideal clients, the best marketing in the world, of course that's there. But they'd never use it. They'd never implement it. They'd never use the Mind Mint software if they didn't have the mindset. So today I'd really love for you to consider taking two to four hours A month. I'd love for you to do two to four hours a week, but maybe start slow. And if you're already somebody doing it, then congratulations, you're already on your way. If you build the mindset, the rest will follow. But I'm going to challenge you to take two to four hours a month that is completely dedicated to working on your personal development, on your personal growth. Find someone that speaks to you. I just named off some oldies but goodies. Find someone that when they talk, you get it. Is it Jay Shetty in today's world? Is it Tony Robbins? Is it old school? Dale Carnegie speaks into my heart like you wouldn't believe. Jim Rohn, I feel like he's my uncle giving me the greatest advice in the world. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck. What a great book. Excuse the language, but that's the title. Like, there's so many different Eckhart Tolle, the Power of Now. Like follow a blog, follow someone on ig. I know you're listening to me. So you're already into personal growth. You already want to next level of success and you're probably already doing this. But I'm talking to those of you who don't understand its power, who don't understand how powerful is that. Don't realize there is no way in your life you can create sustainable abundance, success and joy without it. Maybe you'll find the money, but you'll be lonely, sad on the inside. Maybe you can find happiness and joy in your relationship, but you'll think finding the money is too hard. Until you master your mindset, you don't realize that you could have abundance, joy and happiness in all areas of your life. Now does that mean that you'll never have failure again? Hell no. It just means you can handle failure bigger and better, right? Winston Churchill said the definition of success is going from failure to failure. Without losing your enthusiasm, you only cannot lose your enthusiasm. If you work on your personal growth, you can only handle when people pull the curtain out or the carpet out from underneath you. If you work on your personal growth, you can only hand the massive problems and obstacles in your way. If you work on your personal growth, I promise you this. Behind one of your biggest fears, behind one of the big obstacles, behind one of the challenges, behind the friends who tell you you're crazy. Behind the inner self doubt that says you should just chill your next level of success lives. Work on your personal growth, work on your mindset. Gain capabilities and tactics from those who have already been there and implement the shit out of it. Don't be afraid to fail. Don't listen to others and keep pushing forward. There's no way you can't go to another level of life. Hey, it's Dean Graziosi. Thanks so much for being here. Love you guys. Appreciate you guys.
