I Got Engaged!

What we focus on always gets results. If you focus on working out, you have a great body, you're healthy. If you focus on your business only, you may be making money, but other areas of your life are slacking. So what gets your attention grows. 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 real realize 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. Welcome to the Millionaire Success Habits podcast. It's Dean Graziosi and it's a privilege, an honor and a pleasure to have you here. If it's your first time, welcome. If you're coming back week after week, it's great to have you here. Love the support, love the shares. Today I want to talk about second chances. Heck, third, fourth, fifth, six, sixth, seventh chances. You see so many times in life we feel like at a certain age, at a certain time, we had our shot and if we didn't capitalize on it, or worse yet, we screwed it up, then maybe that's all that's left. And I want to tell you that's simply not true. Whether this is business, love, life, it doesn't matter. Those second chances, third, fifth, seventh chances are there and designed for you. Those failures prior were nothing more than your research and development. And what if today was the day you realized it? Listen, I want to share something. I'm getting back from a five day vacation in Cabo with my kids and with my now fiance. I got engaged just a few days prior to recording this and I have to tell you, I've been in relationships. I was married before and I wasn't perfect. I made mistakes. I didn't listen enough. I wasn't emotionally invested enough. I took things for granted. My ex, she did probably the same thing. It doesn't matter. But I screwed up. She screwed up, we screwed up. But guess what? We're here. And I have to tell you that right now, I'm in the greatest relationship of my life. Nothing has ever even been close. I found my other half. I found my soulmate. So if this is your wake up call for relationships, for business, whatever it is in your life, I want to tell you that it's out there as long as you keep following, fighting for you see, when I met Lisa, the girl I'm engaged to now that I can't wait to marry, truly my other half, I knew it. But here's what I did different this time. I reflected back on past relationships. I reflected back on the mistakes other people have made. I reflected back on interviewing people and sitting with people who had incredible, passionate, intimate, long lasting friendships and relationships in their marriage. And I adopted what they did. I also look back at how my parents messed up. They've been married nine times between them. I look back at friends whose relationships went sideways. And I looked back at my own personal mistakes. And this time I'm not screwing it up. This time I'm taking all that knowledge of what not to do, all that knowledge of what to do, and I'm implementing it every single day. You see, what we focus on always gets results. If you focus on working out, you have a great body, you're healthy. If you focus on your business only, you may be making money. But other areas, your life are slacking. So what gets your attention grows. For me, my relationship is going to get attention every single day. We are over a year in. I know that's the beginning for most people, but I have zero doubts that we are going to have an amazing, connected, high friendship, high, passionate, intimate relationship forever. Why? Because it's getting my attention now. Because I screwed it up in the past. I. When I dropped to one knee this weekend and looked Lisa in the eyes and said, marry me, spend the rest of my life with me, it was different than anything I've ever done before. I'm more mature, I'm more of a man. I'm more ready to make a commitment to honor this relationship, to cherish this relationship, to do what it takes to get counseling once a week before there's ever an issue because it's that important to me. But I've felt that way about my business since I was 19 years old. I didn't like being broke. I didn't like being told what to do. I didn't like following someone else's rules. I didn't like the way that, you know, my teachers treated me because I wasn't that book smart. I didn't like any of that. And I decided at that age that I was going to put my attention and intention and my focus on being self employed, on running my own business. Did I fail miserably? Hell yeah. Did I go broke more than once? Hell yeah. Yep. Did I have sleepless nights, envy of other people, getting ahead, stressed out of my mind? Yes. But But I had a second, a third, a fifth, a seventh chance because my intention was there, my attention was there, my focus was there, and I got my second, my third, my fifth chance in business. This year should be the most successful year of my life with multiple different companies, with partners like Tony Robbins and Brendon Bouchard and Ethan Willis and Brandon Lewis. I have people that I partnered with that are just incredible and we're impacting the world. We're selling books, we're getting information to help people go faster and quicker. I have real estate partners. I have hundreds of properties all around the country. My message today is if you feel like you had your chance and you blew it, that's just a story. If you feel like you had your chance and someone else screwed it up, I'm sorry, but it doesn't matter. All of that was designed for you and you deserve a second chance. You deserve to give yourself the opportunity for a second chance at love. Listen, at 50 years old, I found the deepest love of my life. I can't tell you what it's like to wake up every day knowing I have another human being that I'm going to spend every minute with forever that I love at a level I didn't know existed. I want to tell you at 50 to love, to go into my office to see my team because we hired on values and I love being around them. It wasn't always that way. To love and cherish my partners, that they're dear friends, they're people I want to spend, I want to see at my last breath when I'm a hundred years old to be in the best shape of my life at 50. I'm not saying all this to brag. If this is the first time you're joining me, then you'll realize I'm here to inspire. I was blessed on this earth in so many ways. I could still be a mechanic working on cars and that would be fine. Doesn't make it bad to be a mechanic, but I was blessed. And I truly feel at this phase of my life, it's my job to impact. It's my job to inspire. It's my job to show you that there's another level. But more than that, it's my job to give you the capabilities. It's great to inspire and brag. Look at my house. Look at my life. Look at my girlfriend. Look at my kids. Wow. I'm in great shape. All good yet. That's cool. It's fun to watch, but it doesn't do anything for your life. If you're here listening to me, you're here to gain the capabilities, the foundation, the habits of so you can achieve more. That's all we really want. We all want to achieve more. We all want another level and we all deserve it. And we're all capable of doing it. I don't care where you live, your background, your education, what struggles you're going through, people that don't support you, the money issues you're having, I promise you there's another level for you. If you anchor in the foundation, if you give yourself a break and know that you may have screwed up, who cares? So have I. You deserve a second chance at love. You deserve a fifth chance at your own business. You deserve another chance of getting in the best shape of your life and having dear true friends. That is my wish for you. That is my guide.
