Dean Graziosi argues your gut instinct, built from lived experience, is more reliable than limiting beliefs you inherited from others. He offers ways to spot the difference: question whether a thought is a belief or gut feeling, replace "who" questions with "how," and test your assumptions.
Your gut instinct, right? Verse your belief. Your gut instinct. Verse your belief. You see, our gut to me is probably not just to me. Maybe it's. Maybe I've read this someplace. But your gut instinct to me is your subconscious mind that you know the number better, probably better than I. What do they say? It's 80 times more powerful than your conscious mind. I think that's the number. But your subconscious mind is like a computer taking in data. This worked, this didn't. This is good, this is bad. This person's shady. This person isn't. This person loves you. This person pretends to love you. And your subconscious is feeding. And if you're 20, 30, 50, 70, 90, 100 years old, you have more time of this database filling up from actual events in your life. So when you get that gut, you meet someone, you're like, I don't know, your gut is just comparing all your instinct is comparing all this data that says people like this usually aren't trustworthy. This opportunity doesn't feel good. But then there's other times where your gut is like, hell, yes, this is the person, this is the opportunity, this is my time. This is the moment in history, this is when I start the business. This is now. And then your mind starts going, well, no, it's not the right president. And your parents said you shouldn't try your own deal. And all of a sudden you get your mind to out talk your gut. Here's what I know. When I followed my gut in my life, the majority of the times I'm right. And what I feel like my gut is part of my heart. It's part of this whole area of me. What can screw you up is gut versus belief beliefs a lot of times are things that other people gave us. If your parents tried a business and went into foreclosure or lost the company or went into bankruptcy, you might have had the belief starting your own business is dangerous. It's horrible, you'll go broke. Maybe a college professor taught you that, maybe a friend, maybe you were taught that if a Republican is in office, it's not a good time, or if a Democrat is in office, it's not a good time. Or maybe you're taught Democrats are bad or liberals are bad or conservatives are bad, or you know, if you're Muslim, you're bad, all these things, or if you're Christian, you're bad. You know, all these different beliefs that we're. That the outside world has given us and then we are subconscious, you know, then our subconscious has given us Our gut feeling. But then we got our belief. And to me, if you guys can, like, I look for simple little hacks because you've heard all this stuff before. In most cases, you've heard it. But I like to attach easier ways. For me, gut instinct versus beliefs is like my soul and my heart versus my head. Now, have thoughts ever lied to us? Heck, yeah. They lie to us all the time. They get us worried about something. Oh, my God, what if this happens? Then? And what, 80, 90% of the time it never happens. And if it does, it's not as bad as we thought. Right? So your head's always getting you in trouble. The thinking process. So I'm just going to give you those two little things. The whole replace who with how and gut versus belief. When you feel like you want to move forward, you want to start the business, ask for the promotion, get the girl, get the guy, go to the next level. And something is just telling you to go, I feel it. I can do it. You feel inspired, you feel motivated. But then you start thinking. It's like, no, it's not the right time. Or I'm not smart enough, I'm not rich enough. I didn't go to school enough. I don't have the right family, I don't have the right connections. It's not the right area. Real estate doesn't work where I live. My own business doesn't work. The Internet's used up. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. That is old limiting beliefs haunting you and holding you back just enough. You're still inspired, but it's holding you back just enough that you don't take action. And I think if you can start thinking, whoa, whoa, what is this right now? What is this feeling? Is this a belief? Is it a belief someone else gave me? Is it a limiting belief? And what is my gut and my instinct saying? And is there a way to prove that belief and flip it upside down? Google it. You know, I need money to make money. Richard Branson, John Paul DiGiorio, Tony Robbins, myself. I mean, we all started with nothing. We all started with no education. Not one of those guys I listed went past high school. What's up? What's up? Hey, before you go, you need to watch these next few videos. They're absolute game changers.
