Dean Graziosi argues that even 5% negative influence can make you play small and avoid risks. Audit who influences you, set boundaries with anyone undermining your goals, and stop accepting sideline criticism from people not in the arena.

Who in your life right now comes up with a problem when you try to think through a solution? 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 Success Habits podcast. All success starts here. What's up? What's up? Thanks for joining me in my car for this podcast, if you're listening. You don't even know I'm in a car. If you're watching, it's obvious and there's sun coming through the windshield. Can't do anything about it because I have a message for you today. I love Albert Einstein's quote, don't hang around with negative people because they have a problem for every solution. Now, listen, if you're listening to me, you maybe have listened to me before lots of times. Other personal growth, other success coaches or trainers or people that you know that are successful and everybody will tell you, don't hang around negative people. You are the sum total, the people you hang around. I get all that and you've heard it, but this is the first time, and I say this a lot, I want you to really hear it. Successful people, billionaires, happy people, people that feel fulfilled, people feel joy when they tell you that it's not just something tell you and you go, oh, yeah, that's an ingredient. But what's the real secret? You see, I think the biggest problem we have is people are looking for the big secret, not the real strategies. When Albert Einstein, which is probably one of the smartest people that ever lived smart, is relevant, you could use that in any phrase. There's people that are smart, they never graduated high school. There's people that are smart, that never even went to grade school. All that's relevant. But someone is more admired for as much as Albert Einstein is for the theory of relativity, for all the other breakthroughs that he had. For him to have a quote that says, don't hang around with negative people, they have a problem for every solution. Think about that. For him to say that, how important is it? So that's why this podcast today, the Millionaire Success Habits podcast, is dedicated to that quote and how it is applied in your life list. Listen, if this is the first time you're Joining me on the podcast, you know that I go upstream. Yeah. There's ways to. Tactical ways to make money, but without the strategies, without the habits, without the rules, without living life a certain way, it doesn't matter. Success will elude you, success will avoid you, success will run from you because you're not following the principles of success. You're not following the millionaire success habits or happiness success habits or abundance success habits, whatever it is that you would like to think through or however you want to frame it. So let's get back to that. Don't hang around with negative people because they will come up with a problem for every solution. Who in your life right now comes up with a problem when you try to think through a solution? So when you say, I want to start my own business, I want to do shopify, I want to do real estate, I want to do. I want to create an information product, I want to start my own pizza place, I want to start renting cars, I want to be an Uber driver. Whatever it is that you want to do. Who in your life tells you you're nuts, tells you you're crazy, tells you that you should think through it more to stop being a dreamer, and you're ignoring it. You're saying, you hear that negative people, you're the sum total of people you hang around, but you still let that influence infect you like a disease. And here's the thing. Here's the thing. I want you to know right now, most time you go, I can handle that negative person. My negative parent or boyfriend or girlfriend or friend or relative. I'm not saying get rid of them. We'll talk about them in a minute. But you're saying to yourself, no, I can handle it. No, you really can't. No, I'm being honest with you. You can't. Because I had it my whole life. Even though you fight through it, you know they're wrong. If just 5% of their shit story, their own insecurities, their lack of confidence to go for what they really want in Life. If just 5% of that sticks in your life, it will create you playing small. Small enough that you don't take action. Small enough that you don't go through it. Small enough that you stay in a job you don't like because it's safe. Small enough that you will look back at the end of your life and say, what the frick? I'm gonna try to stop swearing as much. You will say, what the freak? No, I'm just gonna say. You'll say, what the. What did I do? Why did I waste time? Why did I let those influences in my life? Now, again, I could talk about this over and over because you need it. Because as much as you hear it, as much as you hear me say it, as much as you know it, you're still allowing their influence into your life. How many times have I said it? Maybe you're sick of hearing me say it. They've never built a statue of a critic. I don't want advice from someone sitting in the sidelines pointing out my failures, pointing out how I did it wrong. You want to give me advice? Jump in the arena with me. Grab the ball. Play the game. Get bloody, get beat up. And when you're alongside of me, after you have some experience, then I'll give you the opportunity to give me some advice. But if you're gonna stand on the sidelines, if you're gonna play sideline quarterback and tell me what I could have done or should have done, then shut your mouth, because I'm not taking your shit, your crap advice. So what, I could take your advice and then end up being just like you? Live a life like you? Be miserable, like you. Be broke, like you. Be unhappy, like you. Mess up relationships like you? No. Hell no. Those days are over. And that's why I want to share with you guys today. I'll share with you guys today one thing. Take an audit of who is influencing you in your life today. Take an audit of what speech patterns, what words are making you play small or making you feel insecure are making you. I just pulled into my office and I'm so excited about this because you need this. What words, what things are stopping you without even realizing. And it's not stopping you dead in your tracks. It's giving you a 5% adjustment so you play it safe. So you stand back. No. Today's the day you break through. Today's the day you say, enough. Today on this podcast, you declare it is over. No one else will say, steal your. Steer your ship. You take control. And here's what I want to share. If it's a parent, if it's a loved one, you have to find a way to get them to stop it or you have to not listen. You say, hey, I can't talk to you about it, or don't ask questions that they're going to give you shit ass answers to. That's my message for today. Let that sink in. Declare it today.
