Where do you want to take your life to another level. Your income, your new company, the company you want to start, the course sitting on the shelf, the program you bought but you didn't do anything with your relationships, your passion, your weight, your health. 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, foundation for wealth, the habits. And that's exactly what you'll be learning on the Millionaire Success Habits podcast. All success starts here. What's up? What's up? Welcome to the Millionaire Success Habits podcast. Today I want to talk about the success triangle and how without it, you will never reach another level of life, success, abundance, joy or wealth. Hey, if you're here, it's a pleasure, it's an honor and a privilege to listen. This is where you come in less than 10 minutes, couple times a week to learn the strategies upstream to anchor the rules, the habits for success so it becomes sustainable, so it becomes long term. There's lots of places to go to get the so called magic money machines. That's not here. What I know, looking back in my 30 years of being successful, if I didn't adjust my habits, if I didn't gain new rules, new capabilities, I never would have accomplished anything. Listen, if you're trying to get a mile down the street and you're on a treadmill, doesn't matter. If you put the treadmill up to 20, you're still running in place. If you ever feel like you're running and gunning 100 miles an hour, but you're not gaining ground, maybe it's something as subtle as shifting your habits, shifting your strategies. Hey, it's so good to have you here today. I'm in my home office. Sorry if it's a little echoey, but it's more important to get you the message. And it's on my mind, it's on my heart. And I want to deliver it right now. Today I want to talk about the success triangle. I'll just tell you where it came from. I always think this, but it came with my team. In the last couple of weeks, we have done such a great job of getting millionaire success habits out to the world. We're past 500,000 copies. Heck, we might be at 600,000 copies right now. People are going Nuts over the book, spreading it like wildfire. And it's because our constant and never ending push, drive, energy, focus, hunger to get that book in people's hands. Because it's the only way we could change lives. So I want you to think about your hypothetical millionaire success habits book. What do you want to get in people's hands? Do you have a product? Do you have a course? Is it real estate? Is it a book you want to write? Is it a course you want to create? What is it that you want the world to have more of? Do you want someone to recognize you, where you work so you get the raise you deserve, the promotion you deserve? Well, I'm here to share with you today that without these three things in the success triangle, you will be the person running on the treadmill and keep putting it up every year to go faster, but you're still running in place. So let me get back to my team. Millionaire success habits. Sales started to die, especially on social media. And my team said, you know, we, we hit a half a million copies, Dean. Maybe we sold to everybody who wants it. And I started to believe that myself. And I'm working hard to get my new book done. So I said, man, let me just work really hard on my new book. But I said, you know what? My gut just said no. Millions of people need millionaire success habits. If you read it, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Everybody, everybody who reads it loses their. So anyway, so I started thinking all the different things and I had a meeting with my team the next day. I said, it's not saturated. It's us. They all looked at me like, what do you mean it's us? I said, it's us. There's three things that make something move. There's three things that equate to success. And the three are capabilities, focus, and hunger. Write those down. Write those down. Capabilities, focus and hunger. Now, you could practice the wrong golf swing every single day of your life. Practice it 10 hours a day. If it's the wrong golf swing, you are just practicing the wrong way. And you will always be bad at golf. So gaining the right capabilities is an absolute must. But it's only one part of the triangle. Because so many people go get obsessed with capabilities, obsessed with learning and talking and learning and talking and learning and talking and then dreaming and then learning, talking, dreaming. Without one word, nothing gets done. Action. So gain the capabilities. Yes, I'm all about cutting a check for speed. I hire consultants. I go to masterminds. You should too stupid to learn through your own trial and error, gain capabilities from somebody playing the game at the highest level possible, hands down. Well, our team has the capabilities, so I'm not worried about that. I wasn't worried about that, but that was part of the triangle. But the second part is focus. You see, focus isn't on a scale to one to a hundred. And if your focus is down to 50%, you're losing. No, if your focus is down to 90%, you're losing. We have a lot of things going on. We're about to launch our biggest, most passionate product, course, program, training, blueprint in history with my buddy Tony Robbins, we are going to release this to the world. Be on the lookout. You're going to lose your mind. What Tony and I have been working on for a year. So our team is so excited about the training we're going to be doing here soon. And I'll keep you posted on that. That we lost a little bit of focus. We were ignoring ads, we were ignoring the messaging, we were ignoring doing enough promotion on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube. Just a little bit. We were still doing it, but not with the intensity, not with the focus it deserved. If we really want to get that book in the hands of a million people so we change their life, Our focus was. And then the last part. So if you have the capabilities and you're focused, but one last thing, you could be focused to something, but if you're not hungry, if you don't have a hunger, if you don't have a desire, if you're not passionate, if you don't crave it, if you don't love it. I have the capabilities. I know how to do it. Yeah, I'm focused. I'm not working on anything else. But without hunger, it's useless. Hunger is the same thing. If your hunger's at 90%, it's not going to happen. So I want you to think about the success triangle in your life today. Where do you want to take your life to another level. Your income, your new company, the company you want to start the course sitting on the shelf, the program you bought but you didn't do anything with your relationships, your passion, your weight, your health, whatever it is. I guarantee you, if you look at the capability, focus and hunger triangle you're missing in one or two of those. Find a way to be hungry or throw it out. Find a way to focus or throw it out. And focus on the thing you can focus on. Be hungry about the thing you can be hungry on and then gain the capabilities from someone playing the Game at the highest level possible. Get all three pieces of that triangle working. Game over. That's what we do here at Millionaire Success habits in under 10 minutes give you the capabilities to go to the next level. Take this, use it, don't just talk about it. And here's something really cool. We just started. You have to go do this right now. Text Dean's List. My college Dean's List.
