Weekly Wisdom #280 - (MASSIVE MOMENTUM) delivered...

Hey, everybody. Dean Graziosi, welcome to the Weekly Wisdom. I'm really stoked today. This is a month or two of just intense learning for me. If I don't continue to grow, how can I teach you how to grow and get rid of the plaque between your ears and give you the real estate skills? And I just got back from Strategic Coach, if you'd ever heard of Strategic Coach, it's where I go to school. It's to help me be a better educator, a better entrepreneur, a better leader, a better company owner, and a better human being. I've been in it for about five years. Dan Sullivan is the head teacher, owner of the company with his wife, Babs. They're an amazing couple, and they just transform lives. And I just got back from there, so I'm super psyched. I got Strategic Coach rules and techniques on the brain. So one of them really hit me that I thought would be really powerful for you guys. So I'm going to do a condensed version of what Dan calls the moving future. So what I'd love for you to do is get a piece of paper. If you have to pause this video right now, grab a piece of paper, and I want you to write morale, momentum, and motivation in three columns on that piece of paper. So go ahead and pause that or just come back and do it. And what we're going to do here now is so many times in life, and we talk about this a lot, but we get stuck on focusing what's not working, or we look ahead to thinking, what if it doesn't work? And those two things paralyze us because what we think about is what we get. At one time, I taught you guys what it's like to fall into the gap. Falling into the gap means you're chasing the horizon. You're chasing this big future. You want to be an investor like Matt Larson or so many of the students@deengraziosi.com overnight. And when you don't, you fall in this, like, funk of I can't do it now. You just fall into a gap because you're looking at things in the future that haven't happened yet or you're looking at the past that failed. So what I want to do, what this little exercise does is get you right in to focus on what's going right in your life, what. What's gone right in the past and what's going to go right in the future. And it tricks your brain to making you realize that you are accomplishing things, you are in the right place. And you have an amazing future. And it all happens in a couple minutes, so I want to share it with you. So morale. Morale comes from what you've done. So this is the past, let's say the past 90 days. I'd love for you to write down what happened that you've accomplished. What are you proud of? What goals did you reach? What did you do in the past 90 days that's put you on the path to real estate profits, real estate investing, being a real estate investor, whatever it is. What have you done? Have you talked to an agent? Have you read my book, Red Book? Have you been to this blog? Have you been to a live event? Have you made an offer on a property? Have you talked to a rehabber, a bank? Excuse me, I'm just going on and on. What have you done in the last 90 days? So many times in life we look at what we didn't do or what we did wrong, but I know for an absolute fact you've done some incredible things over the last 90 days. So if you want, pause the video and write down everything you've done in the last 90 days that you should be proud of. If you're not, okay. And when you're done with that, let's get to momentum. The momentum means, okay, let's look back. Yeah, we did accomplish more than I thought. I did talk to that realtor. I did make that offer. I do have two buyers on my list. Or maybe I just started and I'm just starting to read Dean's book. I've been to this blog. I grabbed the Malcolm Gladwell book and I've been reading that. I don't know what you've done, but you've done stuff. So now let's carry that to momentum. What are you doing right now? What could you look at right this very moment that can build your confidence? Remember we said courage in last week's video? Courage to confidence. What are you doing that's courageous? That's building your confidence right this very minute. You're watching this video, right? Watching video. You're maybe reading a book. You are exploring. You're talking to people. I'm sorry, I write sloppy and I'm in a hurry. I just got off a plane and I gotta go jump on another one here soon. And I want to do this for you guys because it's important. It's in my mind because I did this exercise and it gets you crystal clear. If you really live it, when you do this, I ask you to be present. Don't do it. When you're stressed out at work, don't do it. The kids are running around, you're trying to juggle a million things. Be extremely present in your thoughts. What is going on right now that should be building your confidence because you are actually doing something. You're not talking about real estate. You're not just thinking it's for other people. You are doing something. So write it down to build momentum. Now, here's the part that I want you to project and I really want you to think about is what are you going to do in the next 90 days? Now, here's what I really want you to visualize. What. What would excite the heck out of you if it happened in the next 90 days? What would be bigger and better? What steps would you take to see? Like, literally, like I say, be present and start thinking, wow, I'm going to make that first offer. Or I've already made offers. I got buyers on the list. Or I'm going to go to a foreclosure auction and I'm going to walk up to everybody who buys and I'm going to say, hey, great deal, Good job. If I can find a deal like that. But better price, with my unique ability to find deals other people can't, can I send it to you? Boom. Put some buyers on the list. I don't know if it's going to a real estate club and going around and talking to people and say, I'm a hard worker. I find deals that other people can't. I don't know if it's putting your bandit signs out. I don't know what it is. Over the next 90 days, maybe you're going to have the courage to call banks so you can refi a piece of property you own. Or maybe you're going to. I don't know what it is. Maybe you're going to get the courage to step up and finally talk to your spouse and say, I'm doing this. This is what I'm doing. I don't know what it is, but start listening. Who. All the things that you could just visualize right now that would empower you, make you bigger and better and build excitement in your life, because you are visualizing it and you know it's going to happen. Guys, what this exercise does, and the genius of Dan Sullivan, as simple as it sounds. And you're like, Dean, you do these exercises. Yes, and a whole book full of other ones. Because, listen, life hits us all no matter where you are in life, economically, emotionally, mentally, married, not married, divorced, Somebody sick in your family, you going through something tough. We all have stuff. And it's so easy to get sucked in to thinking, what went wrong in the last 90 days? What's going wrong in my life right now? And what could go wrong over the next 90 days? When you live there, your shoulders go down, your head goes down, you're fearful. Everything sounds like a good idea, but it's not reachable. Everybody looks like they're doing better but you. And you start building envy and you start building, you know, you lose your gratitude and you just think, well, this is as life good as life gets. No, it's your brain is so damn powerful, if you feed it that food, that's what it's going to deliver you. So let's just feed it new food. Let's talk about the great stuff you did, the stuff you're doing right now and the stuff you're going to do. Do this exercise. It will transform you if you live the moment.
