Get into flow state and watch the needle move with your accomplishments. Stop running on a treadmill. Be a ladder entrepreneur. Climbing to your next level. 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. What's up? What's up? Welcome to the Millionaire Success Habits podcast. I want to ask you, what does it mean to be in flow state? I want to get back to that. It's so important that it could be the difference between you breaking through, starting the company, expanding the company you have, getting the promotion, living a life full of abundance, and compared to living a life of always feeling that you're one inch away, you're one step away. Have you ever felt months, years actually, that you were so close but you couldn't get there? One of the things that you might not recognize is getting into flow state. And listen, I know what it's like not to be there. Believe me, I've lost all my money more than once. I've worked way too many hours on busy work rather than accomplishing work. I know what it feels like, know you're working harder than other people, but why are they getting ahead and you're not? I know all those feelings, but I also know what it feels like to be on the other side. So it's a privilege and an honor that you are here with me spending this time. I know there's a million things you could do, there's a million podcasts out there, but you're with me and I don't take it lightly.

So flow state, what does that mean? Okay, so I was in Flow state yesterday and in a four hour period, I would bet to say I got more done in those four hours than I did in the previous four or five days. And what Flow state does to me is compress time. It's, it's, you can get hours and hours. You can get 15 hours worth of work done in literally an hour. It seems impossible, but it's not. And every successful person I know gets into flow state. So what is flow state to me? That's a time when you're living harmonious with the universe, with God, with your bigger future, and your talents are flowing through you. It's when you look at the clock and four hours go by and it seems like four minutes. It's not. When you're looking and going, oh, another hour to lunch, you look and go, holy shit, there's only an hour left until lunch. I'm not quitting and I'm going to eat it and I'm going to call and have food delivered. It's when you know you're making an impact that's moving the needle in your life. Rather than just busy work that's making you continue to run on a treadmill. You could put the treadmill on one or you could put the treadmill on 12. It doesn't matter how fast your legs are moving, you still are in the same place. So if you feel like you're in the same place, even though you're going faster, then I want you to think about flow state. Now flow state for me is first off, it's working on the things that move the needle. You really need to differentiate that in your life. You might be busy as hell. If you're listening to me, I bet you're a baller, you are a mover, you're a shaker, you're a hustler, you got grit, all the common new buzzwords that people are using, that's great. But if you have grit and you're a hustler and you're working on the wrong things, then you're kind of white knuckling. You're forcing yourself and you're not moving the needle, you're not going anywh. Or sometimes you might have had a busy day and you come home and want to work on your own business. And you white knuckle go, I need to do this. I feel bad I'm not working more on my own business or my own dreams or the promotion I want. And you kind of force it and then the needle doesn't move and you're like, it's like self fulfilling. Like it's really not helping. Maybe I should stick in this life that I really don't like. No, you shouldn't. You need to switch everything up a little bit. That's why you're here, that's why you're gaining the millionaire success habits again. I didn't invent this stuff. I've just been through it all and I get to share from the other side of success and failure. So here's what I want to share. I want you to think about creating, first off, the atmosphere for the perfect working environment. Now, I don't know if you like working in a busy coffee shop where people are coming in, you got your earbuds on, you like the energy. I like that kind of stuff. I like going to the hotels in Phoenix. I just drove by the Royal Palms. That's a place I go and work all the time. And it's got the right music. The sound is, the atmosphere is great, the temperature is always perfect. There's a waitress that comes and brings me my green tea and brings me snacks and I'll sit there with earbuds and work for hours. I can get in flow state there. I can also get in flow state when I'm literally in the busiest place possible, like a coffee shop with lots of busy people. I like the energy. My buddy Joe Polish likes to go to libraries where there's no one and it's quiet, but that helps them get the flow state. So for me, atmosphere I love when there's kind of like spa music playing. I love making sure I got a kombucha and a green tea and a water and healthy snacks that I don't have to move. I love physically looking at something. I like looking at Camelback Mountain that I'm driving by right now. I like looking at a pool or the mountains or just something that stimulates. If I get in those, that helps the atmosphere. Secondly, other things I do, if I'm. If I feel I'm getting in the flow state to work on something that's going to move the needle, I will also, I will shut off my phone. I will tell everybody I'm checking out. I won't answer emails, I won't answer. I won't go on social media. I won't record a video for you guys if that's not what the part of my flow state is. I eliminate all other distractions. I write down the one to three things that I want to accomplish while I'm in this flow state. And I set myself up for fail or for success. Because in most days the complete opposite is. We set ourselves up for failure. We want to get more done. We want to accomplish. We want to start the new business, write the business plan, get the marketing done, get the real estate deal done, make the offer. But we set up so many distractions. We're trying to do it while we're juggling kids or we're trying to get homework done or busy work done for our regular 9 to 5 job. And we set ourselves up for failure. So this is a little call to action. I stopped so now I can look at the camera. This is a little call to action for you guys. Do you remember a time in your life that you got so much done in a short period of time? Could have been yesterday, last month, last year. You got so much done and you felt amazing when you're done. You felt that sense of accomplishment. Those are flow states. I didn't name it. I think there's a book flow state, or I got it from somebody else, but I know when I'm in it. And yesterday I literally compressed time and I accomplished so much. I got done. I was like, holy crap, look what I got done. So I'm gonna encourage you guys to decide what's busy work and what moves the needle. Make a list of needle movers, then pick one or two only. And then find the place that satisfies you. Yesterday I was at my house. There was no one home. I put the music all through the house, like spa music. I got all my drinks. I got my stuff, snacks. I put on the most comfortable clothes. I sat facing the mountain where I live. I just lined up everything and I sat there and whoa, Magic happened. What's your atmosphere then? What are your thoughts? Shut off your phone. Tell everybody you can't, even if it's for an hour. And then immerse yourself in your goals. Start thinking about what your life is going to be like when you get to your next level. Get yourself in a space of abundance. Get yourself in a space of gratitude. And then attack the one or two things that move the needle. And. And don't focus on anything else. Don't be distracted. Don't check email. Don't check Facebook. Don't check Instagram. Don't check how many likes you got. Stay in that space. Get into flow state and watch the needle move with your accomplishments. Stop running on a treadmill. Be a ladder entrepreneur climbing to your next level. That's my message for today. You guys are so awesome. I appreciate you.
