Thrive In 2025 – Day 3

The Day 3 live session of the Thrive In 2025 summit, hosted by Dean Graziosi and Tony Robbins, energizes a global audience to implement the Mastermind Business System. The speaker shares a personal transformation from Broadway actress to entrepreneur, celebrates community breakthroughs, and introduces the all‑in‑one platform powered by the AI assistant Gigi (versions 1.0 and 2.0). Detailed walkthroughs cover onboarding, the step‑by‑step business plan, integrated marketing tools, pricing, bonuses, and live support. A core teaching method, the “StoryTeach Tool,” is presented as a three‑part framework (Story → Teach → Tool) for creating compelling content. Metaphors about oak trees and personal habit reframing illustrate how to raise market value. Success snapshots from participants demonstrate rapid product launches. Lisa Nichols delivers a keynote on resilience, purpose, and playing big. The session repeatedly urges attendees to decide now, emphasizing urgency, the limited‑time pricing, and the mantra “quitters never win, winners never quit.”

Welcome, everyone, to day three of Thrive in 2025. Okay, raise your hand if you had an amazing breakthrough over these last two days.
Raise them.
Raise them up high so I can see. Yes, I see you, Joelle Dennis. I see you, Elizabeth.
John. Raise them up.
Be pro Diana in room one. I, too, have had an amazing breakthrough. And guess what? We still have one more day, my friends, to bring our full energy, like we talked about yesterday, to absorb everything that we're gonna be learning today. You're never too new or too advanced to have a needle mover moment. And we're not done. So let's take a moment to give it up for Dean Graziosi and Tony Robbins for making this all possible. And give yourself a round of applause for showing up for you and stepping outside your comfort zone. We're so proud of each and every one of you. I know some of you have already decided to go all in on thriving in 2025, and I want to sincerely congratulate those of you who decided to join us in the Mastermind business system. We're so honored to go on this journey with you. You know, watching you all in the Facebook group over these last three days reminded me just how powerful making these shifts can be. And it brought me back to when I was sitting exactly where you are today. After being a professional actress on Broadway and in film and TV for years, I knew that I was ready for a new chapter. But I didn't know exactly what that was or even where to begin. Then these two gentlemen, Tony Robbins and Dean Graziosi, popped up on my social media feed one day talking about how to start your own business. And after listening to every single thing they had to say, just like you all are here, I jumped both feet in imperfectly. Because when I say I knew nothing about business, I mean nothing. This was also at the height of one of the hardest points of my life. I was dealing with a lot of loss and unexpected changes. But each day, I showed up committed to learn how to be in control of my own future. Instead of having others call the shots for me as a performer, I was becoming the director of my own life. And now standing here with you today, I know a couple things I didn't know then. You can actually live your passion. I know it seems like it's impossible sometimes, like it's this foreign concept, but take it from me, I'm living proof of this. Fast forward five years, because I invested in myself just like you are. I showed up, and I did the work. I've not Only started my own business, but now I'm an international speaker, best selling author, and today I get to be here as your guide and running buddy on this journey. Talk about full circle. This is what's possible when you say yes to yourself. And the best part of it all, Getting paid to do what you love while making a huge impact on the world. So just a reminder, today is the last day of this event, but it doesn't have to be the end of your journey. This can be your new beginning. We have the privilege of not only being coached and trained by Dean Graziosi, but the legend himself, Tony Robbins. Plus, we have Lisa Nichols and Gary Brca. My friends, this is the day that can change your life forever. And that's not an exaggeration. So commit the time. Today is not the day to play small, take notes like crazy, and play full out like it's your life and your future. Because it is. Are you ready to do this together? Are you ready? All right, let's bring our full energy to kick off day three and help me welcome back to the stage Dean Graziosi.
Yes.
Everybody, welcome, welcome. Come on. We can have a little more energy than that on a Saturday. Let's get some music that really moves them. Come on. Let's get some higher energy music here. You ready? Can you do that for me? On a Saturday? I wore blue for God sakes. And let's put some people on the back wall. We got thousands, hundreds of thousands of people from all the world. What's up, everybody? I see Gavin. What's up, Christine?
What's up, Adrian?
And Robert and Roxanne and Cindy. I see Elizabeth Doble. Good to have you back, Joelle. Hey, Kendra, Stephen, Blair, Rihanna. Everybody, welcome, welcome. All right, welcome to day three, guys. Here's what I got to tell you. Yes. I stayed up way too late again last night reading all your posts. Oh, my God. So awesome. So proud of this group. You give so much back to us. It makes us fired up. Tony and I were going back and forth late last night. I was sending them texts. I'm like, look at this one. Look at this one. You guys have so many great ideas. I see you, Rachel. I see you, Frank. I see you, Cindy. So many great ideas. I want to bottle all this for all of you and say, take it. Don't let this be the end of three days. Let this be the beginning of a new you. Like, take it. Bottle it up. Don't let anything get you off track. Because here's the hard part. Sometimes you get excited you're around like minded people, you're like, I'm doing this. Who's ready to live into their full potential? Say yes or raise your hand, right? But you know what happens sometimes without even realizing it, like a week from now, a month from now, six months from now, you suddenly fall back into old patterns and you don't even know when you gave up on that next level version of you. Let's not do that this time. Who's committed to not let that happen? Right? And today, let's call today implementation day. Today's the day we make it real. We put it in play. Today's the day we crush those final limiting beliefs that were holding us back. Today's the day we anchor in your path to that first sale, that next sale to consistent sales to make impact. Let's get disturbed within action. Let's get ready to do this. You guys ready to make this go time if they could? Let's get ready to do this. All right, so yesterday, was that an amazing day or what? Yesterday we had the opportunity to see that sales can be something of service, right? Sales can be something that you fall in love with. Sales can be something that truly doesn't ever feel like selling ever again in your life. I paused because it's one of the things that I don't want you to get to at a certain area and go, God, I love this. I want to impact. I love what I've created. I could change lives. But no. Selling, no, no, no. Fall in love with it. Because every yes changes a life in this industry. It's not just selling a widget or a bottle or a glass of water. You're sell for a living. Does that make sense? So yesterday I was so excited to show you places like that. Isn't it cool that there's marketplaces? Isn't it cool that you could, you could work with friends and network and you're not bugging them, you're saying, hey, I got this cool thing. If you know someone and then having the opportunity to take social media to a whole nother level, how freaking cool is that in today's world, right? And remember this, this is the best state of mind to make the best decisions about your future. Does that make sense? Don't you feel another version of yourself who feels a little more confident, a little more in control, right? Feel a little better, like, I'm not crazy, I'm meant for more. So this is the time to anchor it in. This is the time to make a decision. And again, look at all these Beautiful people from all around the world tuning in. I love it, right? Because if you don't make a decision today, like I said, a month from now, a week from now, six months now, you look back. When did I give up on that? We can't have that happen. I loved on day one. Wasn't Jillian awesome? I know I said that yesterday, but how cool is it that Jillian was just like the rest of us, Big dreams and big fears. Then she just said, man, she found a common denominator. The people who don't live into their dreams are the ones that gave up. So I got to keep moving forward, even if I'm scared. Is that a great way to look at it like it is? That's what I love saying. It is uncomfortable action. And yesterday also loved Jay and Roddy. Weren't they just an awesome couple? Right? And weren't they cool? Just, what if they didn't give their gifts to the world? You know, we get to see people sometimes at the end and we feel so far away from them. But gosh, if we could enter the conversations going on in their head. If we could enter that when they first started or the first 20 videos that nobody watched or the conversations they had in the invisible. Right, Emmett, Like, I don't think this is for me. I was a monk, for gosh sakes. Like, who wants to listen to a monk, right? What if he didn't give that gift? But the fact of the matter is there's a gift inside of all of us that someone else is waiting for, right? They're waiting for that. And of course, I love the yes method because I just wanted to give you. If the science is where you find the people, the yes method is really the art. And when I talk about the art of selling, I think there's a lot of things out there that feel like the systematic hardcore closing. That's not the way I approach. I hope you feel my heart. I love what Tony and I do. I love all of you who became a part of Mastermind business system. Because I know your life is going to change. I can read the tea leaves. I see your future. So I love talking about it. I love sharing because I know it can change your life. I want you to love your product that much. You'll never feel like you sell again. You just know when someone says, yes, bing. I change another life. Bing, bing, bing. Right? And the yes method is just the art of meeting people where they are. It's like having a conversation at a coffee shop with someone you care about. You'd solve their problems, wouldn't you? You'd help them look into a better future, wouldn't you? And wouldn't you offer them something if you knew it could change their life? Well, that's not selling. I think that's more serving. Right? And then we had the opportunity to offer you the all new Mastermind business system. For those of you who's already in playing with it, raise your hand if you can see the people already in it. They've moved the heart so we could see them. Right? Is that fun or what? I was reading your comments all night last night. Oh, my gosh. Amazing. This truly is going to change the game. I said it yesterday. I wasn't trying to be like overly confident or cocky, but Tony and I helped. Tony, more than me, a decade, more than a decade before me, helped invent this industry. And I feel amazing that now we get to transform it because everybody else, they either got to step up to what we're doing or they're not going to make it right. And that's how we grow this industry. It's how we give you the tools. And then, of course, who had a blast with Matthew McConaughey yesterday? Isn't he just fun to watch? Oh, my goodness. He's just. He really is just a cool dude. And he's in our industry, for gosh sakes. How cool is that?
Right?
And today, though, I just want to say it one more time. Today is about today. Let's just say this. We should bust all the old beliefs that have held you back. You know, yesterday I said something. I said, I'm going to ask you guys now, I did this during our VIP session last night. Raise your hand if you know this is a great industry that's growing. That's just a question. Raise your hand. Let's see. Right? Okay. That's everybody's hand, right? Raise your hand if you know you would love to impact people while you make a living, right? Everybody in front of me, everybody behind me raising their hand. Raise your hand if you think Tony Robbins and I not only care, but we kind of know what we're doing, right? Still every hand. And raise your hand if you think what we've created for you is the absolute best way to get there. Right? Well, if you raise your hand, if you all say it's the right industry, it's the right time, I'd love to do this. This is the right product. And the only thing that could really hold you back is what put it in the chat. What could hold you Back from living into who you're meant to be. I see a Maddie Lamb's got two hands going to her head. So is Joelle. Right? It's this. It's the thoughts. It's the. It's the. I'm too old, I'm too young, I'm not enough. Right? It's all those pieces. Myself, myself, only myself, right? Myself, myself, my own thoughts, right? So today, not only are we going to deliver capabilities, but I want to bust those thoughts. Listen, if you want to be in this industry, I want you to do it with Tony and I. This is our obsession. We've been doing it longer. And if you decide I don't like this industry, then I want you to leave this event on fire. Going, I'm doing something. I'm living into who I'm meant to be, not who I'm settling to be. And that's why we want to disturb you today. And we're bringing in some amazing guests. Lisa Nichols, going to rock your world today. Gary Brecke, going to rock your world today. Tony's back with an amazing training. But just know today's about. Let's get rid of that gray area of maybe I'll do something. Maybe I do want, Maybe I won't. Here's what I'd love. And you could put decide in the chat today. Decide. Decide that this is the day I am not settling anymore. And, you know, not deciding is a decision, too, right? Like, if you're ready to decide who's raise your hand. If you're ready to decide that you're meant for more and you're going to do something about it, that's the greatest gift you could give us. So why not decide, then? Commit to it, and then let's celebrate all day to the person we're becoming. How about that? I'm ready to celebrate on a Saturday here with my blue shirt on. You know, there's a story that if you're a part of the Mastermind family, the Tony and Dean family, you're going to know that I've told this story before, but I love it so much, and it's just a great reminder of who we could become. You know, I grew up in upstate New York on the East Coast. I grew up around oak trees. They were the most fun trees to climb when I was a kid. I don't know if anybody grew up. They were the prettiest leaves in the fall. They turned the most orange and the most red. They were the most solid. Oak tree is solid, right? If you could Pull up the slide, right? That's an oak tree. And then one day I was doing some research and I was just looking, I was trying to find an analogy in my life and I was like, wow, this mighty oak that people talk about, it could be made into toothpicks. And they're worth pennies each, right? That same mighty oak, I used to chop them down when people were building a house or a lot. That's my first business, was selling firewood. I used to chop fire oak trees. I'd let them sit for about six months, I'd split them, I'd sell them as cords of wood. That was my first business ever, by the way, right? And they were hundreds of dollars. So this same mighty oak could be pennies with toothpicks. It could be hundreds of dollars if you sold firewood. But then I googled an oak conference table and I found them anywhere from two to $10,000. So that same mighty oak could be chopped down and made into a several thousand dollar table. And then I was googling, what else? What else? And I found this violin. And this violin sold for $2.5 million. Made from the same oak. What's different? Still the same tree, but one had more value in the marketplace, right? Sometimes we don't realize we're rowing hard in our life, but we're. I get goosebumps sharing this, but we're rowing in the wrong boat, going in the wrong direction. I don't care how much you row against the current, you're not going to go. And some of you, some of you work as hard as I do, as hard as other people do, you're working hard. But maybe your value in the marketplace is not being represented at the level that you deserve. So some of the things we want to share with you is yes, work hard, but model proven practices in the right industry and raise your value in the marketplace. And here's the thing. An oak tree doesn't have choice. Whether I chopped it down because of a house coming to sell it for firewood, or somebody chopped it down to build a table or make it into a violin has no choice. We have choice. We are the greatest gift to this planet, whatever your beliefs. And I believe God gave us the greatest gift to be humans, to have choice, to make decisions, to be scared and do it anyway. That's who we get to be. So who is ready to raise their value in the marketplace to get in a different boat? Row hard, but go in a direction that allows you to live into who you're meant to be? Listen we know you want to change your life. That's why you're here. And that's okay. Me too. You know, and I know we're all meant for more. We got that voice that yells at us sometimes, you know, there's supposed to be more. You know, you have skills, you know, you have experiences and passions that are extremely valuable in this marketplace. And once you know how to package and deliver them, like I said, I could read the tea leaves. And if you're new or even part time or you want to add this to a current business, what a perfect time in history to do this. Now, this morning, I'm really stoked to share with you an exercise that I call storyteach Tool. And I'll go a little bit more on that in a moment. But storyteach Tool is. When I first started with dyslexia, my sister reminded me a lot that I wasn't Tony Robbins. I was 5 7. On a good day, he's 6 7. Right when I went to share, at first I was like, ah, what is? Do I have enough value in the marketplace to share this? And along this way? And I don't know when it happened, but there was a time that it happened that this framework came into play. And once I understood this framework, I never felt that way again because there was an easy formula to be able to deliver with confidence. Who wants that, that awesome formula to deliver whatever your teaching topics are? Well, I promise you, you're gonna freaking love that. But first, wow, did we have a lot of questions last night around the Mastermind business system? And if it's okay with you guys, we took the top questions, and if we had, you know, if we saw a hundred, that means there are a thousand. If there was a thousand, there's several thousand. And what I would hate, I would hate that if I went too fast or I jumped over something, or I wasn't so clear that we missed something and you didn't move forward. So is it okay with you guys if I take just a few minutes and solve those, Answer those questions for you guys, and then we'll dive right into storyteach Tool, you know, one of the biggest questions we got, and then I'll get to other ones. One of the biggest questions we got is now the right time. You know, we could talk about the product and all those things. I'll get to it. But is now the right time? And I just got to ask you, I get that feeling, like maybe now, maybe next year, maybe in five years. Let me ask you, if you're here, I would bet to say you're the busiest person other people know. And I bet you spent years supporting others. Isn't that true? Right? Wouldn't this be a great time for it to be your turn? Maybe you worry about how your spouse or your co workers or your family or friends might think of you doing this thing. Maybe a little imposter syndrome, but at the end of your life when you look back and realize you played small because you were worried about what other people think, deciding to live into your full potential can, of course, be a little scary. But it takes away the pounds of regret you'll hide at the end of your life. Because I guess what's scarier, Taking action now with the right guide, the right plan, the right tools, the right family, or missing out on living into who you were meant to be? It's not just a decision to invest in the Mastermind business system. It's a decision to invest in you. I know this because I know you. I've been you. Tony's been you. That's why we're so dedicated to getting you this guide, this plan, this obsession to help you thrive. Because we know what's waiting for you on the other side. I told you I could read the tea leaves. And if not this now, then what? When? That's what I have to say. And you know, I shared this yesterday, so I won't go in deep. But I believe the worst thing that could ever happen to us is to get to the end of our lives and see a video of the woman or the man we could have been. Think the only wish you would have would be to go back. Right? Let me go back. Let me do it different. Well, I love to say wish granted. You're here. Wish could start fresh today. Doesn't matter if you're 30, 50, 70 or 80. We could start fresh today. Who's ready to start fresh today? You see, now is the time. Plant the tree today. So in five years from now, you're not looking back. So. Oh, I should have done it then. Okay, that's one that was kind of a big, higher arching one. Is now the time? But there was lots of questions about the Mastermind business system, and I'll read some of them for you. Right, I'll. Thank you guys. Deborah, thank you all for the beautiful comments. All right, I'm going to go through the top five or six questions. Can you explain the three parts of the business system? How does Jiji work compared to ChatGPT? How does when. When you say a Proven plan. What does that really mean? Does the business have really have 12 other products in it? Is that all I really need? Do you share your actual marketing plans? Does Gigi really build some things for me? I took the $VIP on the way in. What is different between that and. I just want to say this before we go any further. I'm sorry if there was a little confusion for some of you. We had some extra questions. I'm going to raise my hand and say it's my fault. You know, I had a desire you to see Gigi on the way in. I wanted you to see how she could help you with conversation. She could help you go faster. And I made that decision. Right. Sometimes we just wait and we bund it all in. And who's had fun with Gigi, raise your hand or put it in the chat. If you've had fun with Gigi, right? She amazing or what? If you like her, put a heart or something in the chat. Right? But what I want to tell you is just hopefully this helps with the confusion. The Gigi you have is 1.0. She's amazing. Great conversation with her and she'll help you extract work and go faster. But it's not what you get in the mastermind business system. In the mastermind business System, it's Gigi 2.0 who's actually your partner. She works with you. She's integrated through the whole program. She actually builds some of your course and some of your pages with you. Did that clear it up a little bit? They're both great, but one is your partner and a builder, like an employee. One is, you know, somebody put chatgpt was a game changer, but this chat thinks like Tony and I. So it's different. I hope that makes sense. And then I thought to myself, let me just go to the whiteboard. I think in three or five minutes I can really clear up all those questions. Cool. All right, so follow me over. When you first log into the mastermind businesses system, I'm hopefully going to be able to paint this picture. You say, yes, those of you already in, you get this. But the first thing you do is you get a welcome from Gigi and you start a conversation with her. The reason we do this is because we want Gigi and our system to get to know you, to know where you're starting. Are you brand new? Have you been in this? You're looking to go to the next level? Because when you interact with Gigi and you'll start communicating with it, it's the first thing It's a big red button, says, get started. Started. Welcome to. Welcome to Mastermind. Let's get started. Right, you'll interact with Gigi, and while you interact with her, she'll actually build your business plan based on the feedback that you have back and forth. I mean, when we say custom, it's like we want to make it so you understand. Yeah, that's. That's the first slide that comes up. It's. That's how you get started, is she wants to get to know you. Right. And you could talk about things like, I want to do a coaching program. And of course, you could pull that down. You can pull that down. But not only will you start building your business plan, then the next thing is you'll schedule a live onboarding call with our team to make sure you don't miss anything, to make sure you know how to use the software, the program, and the whole system make sense. So that's the first thing. So you go in and go, hey, I had a great conversation with Gigi. You'll start making friends with her immediately. That's pretty cool, right? So once you do that, then the next thing, thing. And I hope I explain this, and I'm sorry for the sloppy whiteboard, I thought after all the questions I saw last night. I came in early this morning and I wrote all this out. I'm like, dean, you confused some people. You got to make it clear. So once Gigi knows who you are and where you are and you get her business plan, it comes over into our proven business plan that is step by step. It's methodical. When you start off, not only do you get. Tony and I 76 years of experience in this industry, we taught our hearts out, but so you get the right education, but also the team wanted to make it so you just didn't have a hundred videos to go through and go, oh, I hope, I hope. No, it is step one. Step two. This is what you do first. This is what you do next, right? You have videos, hot seats with Gigi exercises, and action steps all strategically aligned by the team just to keep you moving forward. We don't want you to go, what do I do next? I'm gonna go play pickleball. No, we want you to have this step by step plan. It's gonna freak you out when you see the steps. So you got our experience. You get hot seats, videos, exercises, and action steps, and then you know where to start, what to do next, how to create your product, how to market and attract the right people, how to Sell with elegance and service and how to scale. And remember, now that you're in this, this GG 2.0, she's not just there to answer your questions. She's not just there to ask you questions, which she will. We call it a hot seat. She will ask you questions. Come on, Aubrey, tell me this. Come on, Randall, tell me this. Come on, Rachel, tell me this. I need to know this. And then she'll actually build some of your product for you. She'll build your landing pages. She'll build the pieces that you need. In fact, working with Gigi, if you could pull this up, I asked the team to just grab me four or five randoms if you're on today. Awesome. Great work. But this was. This is a page that Taylor built with Gigi inside our system. This is another one that Beth built in our system. This is another one. This isn't the whole page. A snapshot of the page on joining a growing community of everyday people planning their own weddings. This site was beautiful. I looked at the whole thing this morning. This is the kind of stuff you can pull that down. This is the kind of stuff that happens. But instead of you going, where do I build? How do I build? You have everything you need, and Gigi does it with you. Is that making sense? Listen, I still know I'm not going to answer every question for you, and I don't want to take all morning to do it. We got too much to learn today. But if I didn't explain this and you're like, I'm not sure that actually does everything I need, then you might not say yes, and you might go with someone else that doesn't care, doesn't have as good a product. And I would hate that. Okay, you'll hate it, too, someday when you build something great. And next. Next piece is the cutting edge tool. So just think, you start by building a relationship with Gigi. You have the business plan with everything you need, the education to start building. Now you have the tool that literally replaces 12 other tools. I asked my team to make a list and make me this slide this morning. This is just some of the things it replaces. Builds courses, builds funnels, manage contacts, texts your clients, uploads videos, builds websites, email marketing communities, memberships, call prospects, social media integrations. That's all true. That's all in one spot. Two years ago, year and a half ago, you'd have to go buy all of these, which we did. Anybody been in this business a while, put it in the chat. You know, this is all the Stuff you need and that's not even zapier. And all the other things you had to do. And if you go price Those well over $4,000 a year, I want to say this because people asked, there is not one other thing you need to buy to design, build, launch, and scale. Does that make sense? This is what our goal was. This took us 7 million bucks and 7 years to get here. You wonder why I'm excited. But this is your entire business in one spot. Now, not only is Gigi assist you again through all of this, you don't have to feel alone. We've done something I don't think anybody does in today's world. We have 24 hour, seven day a week live human support. I'm being really transparent when I say it's $100,000 a month it costs us to keep this team, that their whole job is there to go. Oh, Chad's stuck. Ravi, you're stuck. No worries. Call us. I thought if Gigi can't handle it, call us. And it does something magical to have that, right? So you have 24 hours for you, and then now you have the opportunity when you're done with it, one click and it goes on our global marketplace. Pretty cool. You guys tracking along? You see why I get excited? See why I had to take just a few minutes to explain this? Then you have proven marketing plans. This is something that those of you that are in this industry already know its value. You should pay. If you're in this industry, you should buy all of this just for this. Because when it builds, it builds on the back of our proven marketing plan. I think we're pretty good at marketing. We got 800,000 people to register for this event, right? And we've done it over and over again. I've spent 30 years of my life trying to figure out the marketing plan. Well, you don't have to figure out all that stuff because when you work with Gigi, she's going to model your marketing plan off of what Tony and I do. I know that's hard for new people. You newbies, you might not realize the value of that, but please know that's exactly what it does. Make sense. I hope this is clearing up a little bit more. And then lastly, lastly, is the bonuses. Now, the bonuses are real simple. You get the Tony Robbins collection. Why? Because it's Tony Robbins and he's been filming great stuff for seven years. Wanted you to have it in one spot. We all need a little hit of Tony once in a while, don't we? Raise your hand if sometimes you just need a little Tony Robbins in your life. Right? I still do. The VIP World Summit. Don't take this lightly just because we're giving you a ticket. If you like this event, and this event's amazing. This is very inspirational. And we give you as much as we can in three hours a day. That's eight hours a day. That's transformational. And let me give you the dates that. It's July 24th through the 26th live. Right. Amazing guests coming, and we'll do the work. And then last, there was a lot of questions on the social media copilot. Sometimes you do something so cool and people say, well, when is it and how do I partner and all. Couple of things I want to share. We partnered with a great company after looking at about 30 others. Right. That's number one. Number two, we paid for it. You don't have to pay a dime. You don't have to pay anything extra. It immediately. Right now works with Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram within two months. They said a month. I'm saying two. It'll be YouTube and TikTok. You'll have every social media platform, and you don't have to pay any extra. It's not a trial. You get it for the entire year baked into what we do. Cool. And yes, you have access to it right away. And of course, such a cool bonus was Matthew McConaughey's road trip. That is a $500 course, and it is killer. And it is on mindset. It's not teaching you how to do this. That's another one where you. You could make. You could look at this one and this one as Christmas presents, and you can open them anytime you want. You could jump in and start building, start doing. Getting a little lost. Get in your head. I'm not sure. Go hang out with McConaughey for a few road trip sessions. You'll get right back if you raise your hand or put it in the chat. If you ever went through road Trip, Randall, I know you did, because I remember you going through it and putting it all over the place. You're going to have a little piece of McConaughey to get in your head. So this is what we put together. Raise your hand if this makes more sense now. Well, I hope so. I hope so. Here, let me put that down. Here's the thing. I could go deeper. I could go on forever. But I want to get to the education. But here's what I want you to know. Every year, we make this better because we're hyper devoted to creating the first ever, the best ever comprehensive building and scaling system all in one place. That's not complicated. Where everything lives right there. Aim to do in one thing, help you succeed. Every single aspect is infused with our guided business development philosophy. Meaning never allowing you to be alone. Make it efficient and make it the most affordable system in the world. Go price anybody else in the system. Nobody's at this price zero. And it's all backed by a 30 day money back guarantee. Just to make sure if you go, hey, it's not the greatest thing in the world. No worries. Click a button. In fact, take a look at some of the students anybody in the Facebook group last night. Oh my gosh. Take a look at some of these. I think these are worth reading. And then we'll get into storyteach Tool. Michelle Walton. In just the past 36 hours, I've teamed up with Gigi to craft my mission statement, Brainstorm catching name for my new Facebook page and dive into designing. Plus been busy outlining creating content for my 90 minute workshop. Amazing. Michelle, great work. Way to freaking jump on it. I've been playing around with the Mastermind business hub and the AI is so effective that it scared me. I created a whole seven module program in 10 minutes by answering five questions. I told you, Gigi's fun to work with. I'm not just making this stuff up. Look at this one. You ready? I'm happy to share that I launched my first digital product on Mastermind and I got my first sale in a few hours. Now, I'm not saying that's going to happen to you, but can we say that's pretty darn cool for Newton? I hope I said you're right on Newtown. Let's give it up for Newton for taking immediate uncomfortable action.
Right.
What did Dano say? Okay. The hub is amazing. Did anyone else check out the membership section? It makes it so smooth to add your course in there for the students. Way to go, Dano. Way to take action. I just made my first sale, my online course through Mastermind. Amazing. Can we Bernice, Is it Bernice? I think it's Bernice. Let's give it up for Bernice for taking action. And then my team sent me this video that was in the Facebook group. Watch this. It's like 60 seconds long. Oh my goodness. I just had to show you what.
I created in like an hour and.
A half while I was eating dinner.
And getting interrupted and everything. This is what I created. It's.
It's amazing.
It's so easy to pull this together.
I have used clickfunnels, I have used Go high level.
I have used Kajabi, I have used WordPress.
I have used just about everything between me and my clients. And this, I mean, it's a game changer.
The game has changed.
Isn't that so cool? Like you understand after seven million bucks in seven years, believe me, when we see that, we're like, yes, right, Listen, our whole goal was to take away the complexity, make it simple so you actually use it, so you actually build, so you actually launch your product and then you can learn how to do this even if it's at a dinner table while you're feeding other people. Right? We're so excited to be at this point place for you. So three more quick questions and we're going to get to Storyteach Tool. Many of you asked, if I buy it at this rate, am I grandfathered in? And the answer is absolutely. We're not raising the price that you are grandfathered in. This is the all year long rate. It comes out to $2.70 a day and you can choose to either do three pay or one pay of 9.97 and you're all in. It includes everything here and includes the bonuses. It includes GG 2.0 and all the other cool stuff. And yes, it's all grandfathered in. So the other thing is if you already purchased last year at 997. I know I said this yesterday, but I want to be clear and I want you to see what it's like to be a part of our family. We're going to automatically upload everything to your back office. We're going to unlock it so everything's unlocked so you don't have to do anything. If you paid 9.97 for this last year, right now you don't have to do nothing. When you log in tomorrow or tonight, it'll all be there. Does that make sense? So this is the all year long price. Now, some of you are part of our Mastermind monthly. Thanks for being a part of our family. You're freaking awesome. Here's what I'll say to you. You know, we do something crazy once a year. This is the best price with the greatest program with the best bonuses. It's a perfect time to save some money up, upgrade and go all in, right? And of course, your other payments stop immediately once you hit the button. And like I said, if you did the VIP upgrade, you got some amazing stuff. Gigi's there for You. But it's not this. I'd say to you, if you're ready to build, ready to launch, ready to scale, then today's the day to upgrade. And yes, the last question was, when do I have to decide? And the fact of the matter is this. Offers created once a year for this event. Yes, we do something, like I said, over the top. So if you're thinking I can wait, I'll come back in a week or two, a week from now, if you come to the page, it'll say, this offer is closed. And by the way, we start off a live kickoff together next Friday. So you're not going to want to miss that. So there's no better time to get started than right now. So a day doesn't become a week, a week doesn't become a year. And then you forget when you were even excited about doing something. So that's, that's the questions I wanted to answer for you. I wanted to get those out of the way. I hope I answered them all. Like I said, I probably did not explain everything perfectly, but I did my absolute best. Now I'm excited to get to the storyteach tool framework. Who's ready for storyteach tool? All right, so when you teach something, let's switch gears here for a minute. When you teach something, if you break it down in these three components that you tell a story or a scene in your life, that's entertaining and also sets up the training. It sets up how, you know, I'm going to give you some examples. So I'm just giving you a high level here. And then if you tell that story, story, then what did that experience teach you so you could teach them? Right? I went through this journey and along this journey of weight loss, divorce, building my business, starting my accounting firm, whatever it is, learning how to fly fish. I learned these three things, these five things. And then you teach that. And the last part of that concept is a tool or an exercise that can help them anchor it in, to take action in the. In the moment. So. So they build momentum. Does that make sense on a high level? Tell a story, teach what you learned. Get them to take an action. I lost a lot of weight, right? Oh, thanks for the cheers. But I'm just making this up. I lost a lot of weight because I went through something during that. I learned five easy steps on how to do it without being hungry, without doing it. And here's the action. Go into your pantry right now and throw out these five things, right? Story, teach, tool, and let me Tell you, I just want to back up a little bit. Some of you might be thinking, I'm not sure I'm qualified or I have the confidence to teach or share my experience. I totally get that. I don't want to keep beating up my past. But when I started, believe me, I was massively insecure about coaching or teaching anyone. I watched Tony. He just made it. I mean, he's just got the voice, the height, the size, the clap. When he hits his chest, the whole room vibrates. It's like I'm like, this is like I'm thinking of all these things. I struggled with dyslexia. I didn't barely graduate high school. I didn't go to college. So I felt a little bit like that imposter. But this one thing, this one shift when I started thinking through this lens, I'm like, oh, I have a story. Oh, I could teach on what I learned. Oh, I could give them an exercise. I can give them a tool. So that's what we're going to do. So as I'm teaching you about something I've done, I want you to think in the back of your mind is, oh, where can I grab a story to set this teaching point up? Making sense. Okay, so I wrote a book called Millionaire Success. Habits is my best selling book, over a million copies. I Feel Blessed is a great book, but what I wanted to teach on habits, right? If I just talked about habits immediately, like, you need to change your habits to have a successful life. How does that feel? If I immediately say that, Frank, it's like, okay, habits, right? But if I don't jump right in and I can give a little context and I can give a little story behind it, I can make it a little entertaining, a little intriguing, right? I can get people captivated. So I'm going to tell you a story that shows true. And when I say a story, I want you to remember again. I'm just. I'm just teaching this. I don't have slides today. I have a whiteboard for this one. But what I want you to think is you don't want to tell the whole story of your life sometimes. You know that saying, Sometimes you ask somebody what time it is and they tell you how the watch is built, right? Jane, I see you shaking your head, right? Like long talkers, like, hey, I just asked where the grocery store was. It's like, you didn't have to tell me what's on aisle five and what's on aisle seven and that your grandparents still go there. Like, Just where's the grocery store? Could I just get the address? So what I want you to think about is not the whole story of your life. I want you to think about the scene of your life that sets up the thing you want to teach making sense. Okay? So I want to tell you a little story. So I told you a little bit about my past. I grew up and my parents did work really hard. Hard working people. My dad worked his tail off. My mom worked three jobs but never had anything. Probably why I built those slides on raise your value in the marketplace. My parents were just in the wrong boat their whole life. That's just the true story. I love them dearly and I feel blessed that I retired both of them in my mid-20s, still send them both a check every two weeks. They're live the cars they drive, the houses they live in. It's the greatest honor in my life to do that for my amazing parents. Right? But they were in the wrong boat. I was lucky enough to notice this at a young age. Now, I want to say I was articulate, but I realized that the habits of my mother and father, they were married nine times between them five and four. We moved 20 times. By the time I was 19, we didn't have money. There was dysfunction. So everybody has habits. Isn't that true? Do we all have habits? Right. But the habits my parents have didn't serve them. And I recognized that. And then I started noticing just a couple other people in my town that seemed like they had things going on. They were investing in real estate, they drove nice cars, lived in good houses. I saw them walking with their wives and holding hands. And I got to know Joey Noto and Dominic afuso. They're probably 45 years older than me. And I made friends with them. And they weren't everyday mentors. I didn't see them on Christmas and their birthdays, but I saw them at least three times a month. And I would talk and ask questions. And what I recognized is that they had habits too. But they had habits to allow them to be a little happier. They had habits to make them successful. They had habits that made them see, in an optimistic kind of way, not a pessimistic kind of way, they had habits where they were still married to their wives and their kids all went to their houses on the weekends. I had never had that. So I'm like, I get it, everybody's got habits. You could have a habit to get up in the morning, eat two bagels, a donut and smoke a cigarette. Or you could have a bagel or you could have a habit of get up in the morning, drink a green drink, and work out both habits. One serves you, one doesn't. True. So what I realized at a young age is, hey, if I replace my habits or my parents habits with habits that they have, damn, I could change my life. And I'm blessed to say that I truly was a millionaire in my 20s. Between cars and real estate, I made it. So that's my story. Wasn't saying it's a brag or share, but that's my story about habits. Who is a little intrigued on what those habits are now, Right? So now do you see how that set up? That was the story. Storyteach tool. That was the story. You have a story around one of the teaching points you want to do, correct? You can think of one if you don't have it right at the front of your mind right now, I want you to think about what's the story that made me want to help people through this or get them the results of this? The story makes people go, okay, I'm ready, like folded arms to okay, tell me. So that was a story. Here's the teach part. During that journey of switching habits, I. I realized a few things. I realized my actions could dictate my emotions rather than letting my emotions dictate my actions. I realized that at a young age, my dad's emotions were so stirred up from the trauma he went through as a child that his emotions made him do dumb stuff. And what I realized with these other gentlemen is they got bad news sometimes. They took a breath and they made certain calls. They gave people grace, they made some moves, they took some action and they left. Their actions dictate their emotions. Wow. Right? Another one I learned is I always used to think someday I could give myself permission to be happy. I could feel joy when I finally get successful. Want to know something crazy? I realized you could have a habit of finding joy first. And I believe success comes quicker when you could say, hey, I'm not where I want to be yet, but I am happy because I am on the right path. And I just realized these guys were just happy even though they were dealing with a lot of stuff. And I was thinking, oh, I can't be happy yet. I'm going to wait till I'm successful. Make sense now. I'm not really teaching this, but I kind of am because it's fun. I also realized three other quick things. The voice inside my head was a liar and it could be rewritten. It Would lie to me and say, you're too small, you're not that much money. You have dyslexia. You can't do this. Bs. These two guys that were doing well, families were Italian immigrants. They came from nothing. I was like, they could do it. I could do it. One of them went to seventh grade, by the way, right? So it was the perfect person for me. And then the last two things, and these are just my earliest memories of habits. I shifted. Listening to the wrong people means that the only thing you can get is their outcome. Like, oh, my broke friend, tell me how to get rich. My dad give me advice on marriages. I love them. I take advice on a lot of stuff, but not marriage. Right? And I also realized if I did what successful people do, I can get the same results. Okay? So I told you the story about why habits are important to me. Everybody get that? And these are some of the things I learned. I just taught story and teach. I hope this is landing with you. Like I said, I'm just kind of winging this because this is a part of who I am. But I promise you, you guys have a story. Dan, you got a story you could think of. Roxanne, you got a story you could think of? Doug Ryan. Right? Rachel. And then just think of the lessons you learned through that story. And then the last part is, what actions can you give them? Right? What actions could you give them? Meaning. A tool just to keep the momentum. Right? So I told you, I shared with you the story about habits. I gave you some of the lessons I learned. So if I was capping this little training off with you with the tool part, you know what I'd say? All right, here's what I want you to do. I want you to make a short list on a piece of paper, do it on your phone, and write down three of the habits that take you away from the man or the woman that you're meant to be. I guarantee all three of you have three habits that can take you away. I spend two hours a day on my damn phone that's not taking me towards. And here's what I'd say. No gray area. It either takes you towards the woman you want to be, or it takes you away from the woman you want to be, takes you towards the man you want to be or away from men. No gray area. Could we all list three things? Three habits we have that don't serve us. Raise your hand if that's true. Right? And then I'd say circle the one that hurts you the most. And try to conquer it this week. That's it. That's. That's a tool. So I just gave you a story. Then I shared some things I learned during that journey, during that experience. If you read Matthew McConaughey's book, if you go through Road Trip, if you're going to be a part of MBS and you get road Trip, you'll see everything he does tells the story of going to Africa and what he learned there. He tells this fun story. And then when he learned when he was there, here's the three, four lessons he learned to always say all this stuff. And then he gives you a little tool at the end. It's all through Road Trip. You'll see the whole and you'll go, oh, that's it. Watch Tony. Next time you see Tony, you're going to go, oh, there's a story. Oh, that's what he's teaching. Oh, look, he's getting us to do an exercise. And once you understand this cadence, the stress goes away on teaching your teaching points, right? You could create this tool. And here's the best part. You can build all of this with Jiji. If you put your story in to Jiji. If you just. All you gotta do is click the button and tell your story to Gigi and say, do me a favor. Could you create three things I learned during this story and a tool for them? I promise you, I did it last night. I was in Jiji last night. I did it five or six times with different topics. It laid them out and built the tool. Pretty cool. Who likes storyteach tool? And you like that? Andrea? I see it. I see you, Denise. I see you. Dennis. Listen, you didn't just do an exercise just now. You saw a framework. And once you have a framework to something, it never is scary ever again, right? The only time you ever scare is like, how do I approach it? Once you get it and you get to use a real life story, a real life scene in your life so you can inspire them with a story, teach them with what you learned, give them the tool. That's how you make your pain or your experience your power. That's how you become your business. Pretty cool. I hope I slayed that dragon for you. All right. This morning I wanted to couple of things. I wanted to get those questions out of the way. I don't want anybody holding back because I wasn't so clear. I get excited. I can't wait to share. Sometimes I miss some stuff. I probably did for some of you. But here's the thing. That's why we have an entire team. Once you're a part of this, there's no question that goes unanswered between Gigi and our team. You're never left alone. And I just want you to know that. Right. And I wanted to give you storyteach tools so you could start building that confidence. Like, whoa. I mean, here's what I hoped. By the end of day one, you go, damn, I do have something to share and there is people that need it. And this is how I deliver it. I can get some cool help by day two. I hope you're realizing, hey, here's three spots where I could sell it. Here's how I could talk to people and others are doing it.
Great.
And I can have this service by the end of today. I want you to realize I could deliver this. No problem with storyteach tool. I'm not alone. I can do this. Today's the day I can kill all old beliefs and decide to be that vest version of me. So that's our goal today. It's a big one. And this next presenter, this next speaker. Oh, it's going to feel like church a little bit. I'm just going to say, I hope you're ready for this. She's an unparalleled force in the world of coaching and speaking and empowerment. She empowers others to unlock their true potential. She is hands down one of the most requested global speakers. She's a best selling author. She's touched the lives of 110 million people worldwide. Crazy. Her journey is one that shows the power of resilience, the power of purpose, the power of perseverance. I love when she says, choose commitment over convenience. Man, that stuck with me for years when she said that. What I love about Lisa Nichols is her reach truly goes beyond the stage and screen. She runs a nonprofit. She helps teenagers. I help support that this year. All helps prevent suicide. Encouraging dropouts to return to school, families to reunite. She's an amazing person. She's become a dear friend. Her mission is to ignite the human spirit. And we can't wait for you to hear from her today. So everyone, can we please give a huge welcome to Lisa Nichols. There you go. I see you, Rachel.
Thank you. Thank you so, so much. Thank you so much, Dean. I'm so excited to be here with you. I'm so excited for all the time that we get to have together and for this conversation, how to thrive in 2025. That's the conversation that I want to be a Part of. So thank you so much for inviting me. I'm excited to stop by. Now listen, I got to tell you, in the last seven days I've been in three countries delivering four keynotes and about four or five states. So I just stopped by. And when I say I just stopped by, I mean I really just stopped by. I stopped by to stir your soul. I stopped by to challenge any form of mediocrity that might still be lingering in your spirit, knowing that your champion wants to jump out and make a big difference. I stopped by to celebrate. To celebrate the person that you are and to help be the midwife, ideally to the person, the genius, the brilliant mind of contribution that you are becoming. I stopped by to align with you, that you're in the right place at the right time with the right people, a doing the right thing. And I stopped by to remind you that you can't sit down, that you can't slow down, that there are people counting on you to rise up one more time, to stand up two more times, to use your voice, to share your strength, to step into your greatness, to find reasons, more reasons to get up and run than to sit down who you're becoming. I stopped by to do all of that. I look at my life and it's unrecognizable. I look at my history and it's unrecognizable. Like I'm blown away. I'm constantly blown away at my story. When I see the videos on me or look on social media. I'm blown away that that's who I am. The woman who has built a multimillion dollar business, who has over eight bestsellers, who has traveled the globe and set with kings and queens. I'm blown away at her because I remember the entire journey. I remember when I was sitting there wondering, should I? Could I? Can I? If I did it, will it work? Will it work for me? I remember every moment, every chapter of the story. And so I'm blown away when I get to come and stand here from this position, from a life that's barely recognizable, from a life that I couldn't even. People say you must be doing things on your bucket list. I said, my bucket list wasn't even this good. I didn't even write this stuff down. I'm excited. Excited because I remember what it felt like to be inside the dream from the beginning or the middle. I'm now what I feel like in my legacy years. So. So I stopped by to encourage you to play big and play tall and Play big and play strong and just play big that it's okay to have your knees knocking and your teeth chattering, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't be playing big anyway. You know, I often looked at reasons why I could keep going, and they're counter with the reasons and the times when I wanted to quit. You know, when I started swimming. I love swimming. Some of you guys know I've been an athlete for many, many years. And I swam competition. See, swimming was my childcare. I was a latchkey kid. And we can get into the pool for a quarter and stay in the pool for a quarter for like seven hours. So my brother and I had to get to the pool by 9am and we could not leave the pool until 5pm ish. And so I started swimming competition. And I loved swimming competition. And I just believe this story might be for you and your own journey. I love swimming competition. But I had one small problem. I would always. Somebody type in chat always. I would always come in dead last.
I would.
If they had 12 lanes, I come in 12. If they had eight lanes, I come in eight. If they had six lanes, I come in six. One time they had 11 lanes. And the judge put on it that I came in on the back of my ribbon that I came in 12th place. I said, Judge, I didn't come in 12, I came in 11th. He said, Honey, you came in dead last. Now you got to know I would come in dead last. Say dead last. Type and chat. Dead last. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, but wait, I want you to type it the way you would say it. Dead last. Put some more ease on that. Like, you know, if you was talking to somebody like, yeah, girl, she came in dead last. I would always come up. Yep, exactly. Just like that. Yep.
Mm.
And so I would always get this thing called an honorable mention. I see some of y' all laughing already. You know what this means? An honorable mention is a ribbon that basically says, thank you for showing up. You didn't do. You didn't do diddly squat, but we didn't want you to leave here empty handed. Y' all come. Y' all come back now, you hear? Like, I would always go home with honorable mention. And because my mother didn't know what an honorable mention meant, she actually would hang all the honorable mentions up on the wall right outside the kitchen. My brother nicknamed it Lisa's loser shrine. So I decided one day, I just can't do this anymore. I can't do anymore. So I go to my grandmother's house because she's the safest person I know on the planet to make any major decision that everybody else might disagree with. I go to my grandmother's house. I said, grandma, I came over to tell you that I'm tired of coming in dead last. Now, just type your name in chat, if you can relate to this. I'm tired of giving my all and feeling like I'm getting nothing back in return. I'm tired of showing up day after day after day and feeling like there's no results worth showing up for anymore. Like, I'm just tired. I'm tired of people not appreciating me. Come on, I see your name. I'm tired of not even hearing the word thank you. I know I came in dead last, but I did my best, Grandma. I decided that I wanted to come over here and tell you, be the first to know. I quit. And my grandmother looked up at me like, I just start talking a whole nother language. No hablo espanol. I was like, I quit, ma'.
Am.
Like, I didn't know what she needed to hear. And she looked at me in the face and she said, sweetheart, come here and sit down. She says, I know you're young, so you don't know everything, so maybe I need to remind you. She said, you're built from a long. And I just got to say, somebody came here for this. So as you hear the rest of this story, if this is for you, I just want to type your name in chat. Just let me know who I came for. She said, I know that you think you got the option. She said, but you come from a long, long line of winners. She said, and quitters never win and winners never quit. She said, your great, great ancestors, they had a hard time. They really had it rough. Much rougher than you. She said, a lot of people during that time, that era, they died, but not your ancestors. Not your great, great ancestors. Because they knew quitters never win and winners never quit. She said, your great great grandparents, they picked cotton from sun up to sundown, blistering toes and blistering fingers. And a lot of people died during that time, but not yours. Because they mustered up something in them knowing that quitters never win and winners never quit. She said, in your mama and your daddy, they don't have the luxuries that you have, baby. And I know you think they're crazy sometimes. I say, yes, yes, I do. She said, but you have to know something. You don't even know about their hardest days because they'll never Let you know, because quitters never win and winners never quit. She looked at me and said, so I know you think you have the option of quitting. Who am I talking to right now? She said, I know you think you got the option of quitting, baby. She said, but quitting ain't even in your blood. She said, so you go on back out there and you do your best, and I'll go ahead and I'll just say the prayer. I always say, thank you for giving my daughter the victory. Before she ever starts the race. I'll do my prayer and you do your part. But quitting ain't an option. I looked at my grandmother, I said, hold up, Grandma. I know you think I won, and I know God say I won, but the judge keeps giving me the honorable mention. Somebody needs to tell the judge that I'm a winner. She said, go on out there and swim when I tell you guys. I walked away saying, I'm not ever coming over here again to come quit anything. I show up the next day to the swim meet. Now, mind you, I was scared at this swim meet because this team was mean in the pool. They were fast in the pool, and they were mean out of the pool. They'll beat you in swimming, then they'll beat you up out the pool. So I'm nervous. I walk into the gym and I enter the pool area stadium, and I see the worst sight ever. I mean, the worst sight ever. My entire family in the bleachers. Lisa, Lisa, we love you, girl. We see you. I'm like, what? How did they get here?
How?
What? What? How did they get. There's only one thing worse, y' all than coming in dead last. Say dead last type the way you know dead last, it's having your family witness you come in dead last. I said, oh, my God. They gonna be at the next Fourth of July in the corner saying, yeah, girl. She was splashing water everywhere. She was. She came in dead last. Everybody out the pool. I'm like, oh, my God. What are you doing here? See, my family had never come to see me swim because it's the middle of the day and everyone was at work. Why are you here? They're like, lisa, we got your back, girl. I'm like, I don't want you to have my back. I want you to leave. I said, how did you find out about the swim meet? Grandmama called us. Y' all go help that baby. Go support that baby. I'm like, oh, Lord, I don't need the support. I don't need the support. I don't want any witnesses for what's about to happen. So I walk over to the judge. Hi, judge, My name is Lisa. I'm here for the 15, 16 freestyle. Can I just get my honorable mention now? And we just skipped the whole coming in dead last part. I mean, I'm cool. And the judge says something I didn't expect. He said, lisa, I'm sorry, sweetheart, you missed your heat. Oh, I did? Oh, I shouldn't look so happy. I mean, I did. That's okay. It's okay. I was so excited. And then he said the words I didn't see coming. He yells out, coach, would you like to have her swim with the 17, 18 year olds? We have one lane left. What? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I don't want to swim with the 17, 18 year olds. The 15 year olds have me for lunch. The 17, 18 year olds. I'm going to be an appetizer too. No, I don't want to swim with them. Ix nae one blew me into a whole other language. He talks to my coach. My coach looks at me and says, lisa, go ahead and swim. You need the practice. No, I don't. I don't need the practice. I have mastered losing. I have a loser shrine named after me. Lisa, you need the practice. So I go, I get on deck, and I gotta tell you, the one lane that's available is the center lane. This is getting worse every moment. I get in the center lane, I look to my right, there's a bunch of really big girls. I'm 15, they're like 17, 18, like, they're like big girls. I look to my left, they're there too. And there's a big difference between a 15 year old and a 17 year old or 18 year old. At 15, I had on my bathing suit, blue bathing suit with blue lace. At 18, Speedo. At 15, I had my hair going back in cornrows with matching blue barrettes. At 18, Speedo cap. I was like, oh, you're intense. At 15, don't judge me. I had on waterproof mascara at 18, goggles. I was like, oh, my God, I think I'm in trouble. So I get on deck. This is me, real time.
Hi.
Hi.
Hi.
I'm in the center lane. Hi, my name is Lisa.
Hi.
Would you wait for me after we finish, please? No matter how long I take, would you wait for me? I'm trying to be friendly, but this is all I got. I was like, whoa, they are intense. Okay, okay, I can do that. And then it happened. Suma said, a mark. God. You said that all I need to do is have faith. To have the faith of a mustard seed. I think I need the faith more like a watermelon seed for this one. But you said if I just believe. If I believe that I could do it. If I believe in me, if I believe in a thousand second chances, if I can believe that the miraculous can be done, if I believe that I can grow, then maybe things will change. Set. I'm ready to believe. I'm ready to believe that I could do something amazing. I'm ready to believe that my past does not equal my future. I'm ready to believe. Pow. The gun goes off. I hit the water. Quitters never win. Winners never quit. Quitters never win. Winners. I start chanting what my grandmother said. Quitters never win. Winners never quit. Quitters never win. Come on, chant with me. Quitters never win. Winners never quit. Quitters never win. Winners never quit. I pulled my right arm back. There was one girl equal to me. I said, oh, today she coming in, what, Dead last? Yes. Type that in chat. She coming in dead last. I'm not coming in dead last. Come on, y', all, chant with me nice and loud. Quitters never win. Winners never quit. Quitters never win. I did the flip turn. I turned around. Quitters never win. Winners never quit.
Quite.
Quitters never win. Winners never quit. I hit the wall. I looked to my left, there was no one there. I looked to my right, there was no one there. I said, dang, I'm so slow. They got out the pool already. Like, they already out the pool. I'm getting slower by the day. And then I look up and I see something I never thought I'd ever see. My coach is screaming, lisa, Lisa, look behind you. Look behind you, Lisa, look behind you. I'm like, what? I look behind me. The first person had just hit the halfway mark. But you know your mindset. Sometimes you gotta be willing to really pull your mindset out of its old stinking thinking. I looked at my coach. I said, coach, was I supposed to swim three laps? I could go and swim them right now. She said, no, Lisa, what did you do differently? What did you do differently? I was like mascara. I put my barrettes on. Oh. I chanted something that my grandmother said. She said, what did your grandmother say? I said, quitters never win and winners never quit. I said, coach, what happened? Why are these people just getting to the edge of the wall right now? What is going on? She leaned down to me. She said, Sweetheart, at age 15, you just broke the national record for 17, 18 year old freestyle. Oh, my God. Are you kidding me? Oh, my God. Are you kidding me? Oh my God. Are you kidding me? Never done that. I've never done that. Yes. Oh, that day I didn't take home an honorable mention, I took home a huge trophy. The only thing that changed, the only variable that changed was a conversation going on in my head. So I invite you, I invite you to transform your conversation. If it's getting in the way of the man, the woman you're becoming. I invite you to become radical for your future's behalf. I invite you to evict the stinking thinking that says it won't work. It can't work. I invite you to introduce to yourself it has to work. See, you can't wait for it to become convenient to do this because your conviction and your convenience don't live on the same block. Are you convicted? Are you, Are you called for such a time as this? You are the solution that we've been looking for. You know that. You know that to be so. And it's going to require you to get mildly to moderately to significantly uncomfortable in some form of stretch, expand in radical action. Because what my grandmother says is that when you're sitting in your rocking chair and you've lived a full life and you're looking back at your story.
You.
Want to be able to tell your story to anybody that's listening. But right now, in this moment, the decision that you get to make in this moment, this decision makes sure that the story is gonna be good to tell. Here's what I know. You are the author of your own autobiography and you are the designer of your destiny. And nobody can write your story but you. So in this chapter, your life, what kind of story will you write? I jumped in. I jumped in the water and I got wet. And I realized that quitters never win and winners never quit. Or I sat on the sidelines, stayed dry, but I never saw who I could become. I just stopped by to stir your soul. I just stopped by to make it mildly to moderately to significantly uncomfortable for you to sit down in any form of mediocrity. I stopped by to remind you that your greatest day and your greatest experience is on the other side of your next yes, yes and yes. And as you do that, as you jump in, as your sister friend, I'll always be beside you, cheering you on, saying, you were right. Quitters never win and winners never quit. Go be a winner. Thank you so much.
Light up the Chats. Wow. Wow. I see you, Steven. Wow, Lisa. So good. You're right, Lorna, you're like Rachel, Sarah, Denise, Carrie. Yeah, I see it. Tell me that doesn't fire you up. Raise your hand. If you just feel that emotion, who's gonna think of that? Quitters never win. Winners never quit. Next time you think of quitting, recap that search. Well, I love her so much. I'm so grateful. Light up the chat. So she sees it, you know, as I was. I've heard that story before. I love it. I love that story. It gives me goosebumps, makes me excited. I would hear. I'd like to hear it once a month for the rest of my life. Right? But you got to remember something. The foundation that story was belief, wasn't it? She wasn't a different athlete. She didn't grow overnight. She didn't get stronger overnight. The only difference of the dead last Lisa and setting national record was the belief that she could. That incantation of her saint just said, I can. I could do. I see you, Caleb. Right? And how many times in life have we said we can't, we can't. We change our story. And we do. And we don't just do little, we do big. So today's that day. Let's shift these beliefs. Because I wrote down the only difference is the belief that she had. And that might be what you need today. The only thing you might need today is the belief. We have the resources. If you have the belief, you'll be resourceful enough to make it happen. Is that true? We need both. We need resources and resourcefulness. I love what she said. No stinking thinking. It's time for conviction. I love when she. I said conviction and convenience. Don't live on the same side of the street. Maybe live a little bit harder for the next six months or the next year so you can live decades into who you're meant to be. I'm up for that. Always up for that, you guys. Now, I want to take just a minute here and I want to. I want to tie it to an exercise. If you're a part of our family, you know, I love. This is another one of those exercises like storyteach tool that has completely shifted my life. But I want to remind you on how this process works. So follow me over to the whiteboard. If any of you ever seen this, I'm going to do it. Usually I do it in a half hour. I'm going to do it in five minutes. But you're all here for a reason. And all change starts with being honest. This is your starting point. You showed up to this event because something is calling you. Maybe you're disturbed with things in your life. That's okay. Be honest with yourself. Life's okay, but I know I'm meant for more or life's good, but there's another level for me. It's like gps. Don't we need a starting point before we find a destination? Right. So where are you right now? If you want to put it in the chat, put in the chat where you are not liking your career. Ready to impact more lives. Want to grow a business. Finally ready to do the whole thing. Do your own thing. You want to unlock your creativity, Right? I'm ready to start a new chapter in my life. I'm ready to impact others. I'm frustrated. I'm good. But I want more. Not enjoying my current job. I'm ready for purpose. Right? I just need to know what to do. I'm ready to rock and roll. I'm ready to impact others. So I'm going to rewrite my story. This is amazing because we all need the starting point. And again, I'm just going to. I'm going through this quick. Remember, all change starts with being honest. Are we blessed? Of course we are. All of us are here. 170,000 people die a day. We didn't. You might be going through something, but you're here to fight another day. Of course we're blessed. But it doesn't mean we have to settle. Right? So where are you with complete honesty?
