Your Backup Plan Is Your Downfall...

So is having a plan B a good thing or not so good thing? Let's find out. Welcome to the Dean Graziosi Show. All success starts right here. Okay, so a plan B, that's nothing more than having a backup plan, right? If it doesn't work out, I always have this. And I would bet to say that is really good in some safety mechanisms for maybe some of your retirement accounts or, you know, some places where you need to feel safe, insurance. But I want to tell you how a plan B could literally be your downfall. A plan B could be the reason why things haven't gone in the direction you want, why the new company has started, the next level of income hasn't started. The bonuses, the raises, the finally getting your company going, or even in your personal life, fixing your relationship or whatever Plan Bs might be screwing you up. And let me tell you why. You see, to go on to your next level of life, let me back up even a little more. Most of the time in our life, and I hate to say this, and maybe you've heard this before, maybe you know it to be true. And if it's the first time you're here, I'm sorry to be the one to share it with you. Most of the time, our next level of life lives on the other side of our biggest obstacle. The thing we worry about, the thing we stress about, usually, is the little wall that once we get past it, through it, break a hole, and on the other side is our next level. So with that in mind, think about that. Think of your next level of life. Your income, your business, your success. Right? You're on the Millionaire Success Habits podcast. That means you want another level of income. Life, wealth, abundance, joy, Right? That's why you're here. You could be doing a million other things. You're with me, and I don't take it lightly. That's why I want to deliver value. But if you're here, that means what you want. You want that next level. Well, if it lives on the other side of the wall that's in front of you, the obstacle that's in front of you. If you have a plan B, in some cases, that means you didn't burn the boats. You want to take the island, burn the boats. So there's no other choice but for ta, but for taking the island. If you want to accomplish that, conquer or accomplish that next level of life, goal, abundance. Start that business. Take your new, your current business, next level. Finally, stop listening to all the naysayers. Tell your parents they're Crazy. Your friends, they're crazy. All this, the BS that we have in life. If you want to do it, a plan B will screw you up because you. Well, if it doesn't work, I can go back. When you get to the wall and you start trying to climb it, I'm saying this wall is the obstacle between you and your next level of life. Obviously, it's a metaphor, but if you get to the wall and you get a little scratch on your hand, you can go. I can go to plan B. The boats are still in the harbor. Maybe they've taken this island's a little too much. No. What I want to shock you into thinking about today is if you've been dabbling for so long, any area of your life, that you're not having the breakthroughs, you're not having the success you want the next level you want, that means most likely you have a comfortable plan B. That's good enough. But let me ask you something. If life was good for the rest of your life, would you accept it? Even if, I mean, okay is one thing. Right? I mean, you wouldn't want to go through a life with everything being okay. Yeah. How's your income? It's okay. How's your job? It's okay. How's your relationship? It's okay. You don't want that. But do you even want. How's your relationship? Good. How's your income? Good. How do you, like, you know, how do you feel when you wake up in the morning and the money you make? It's good. To hell with good. You're not watching me because you want good. You could do good on your own. You want excellent. You want. You want outstanding. You want something that makes you vibrate, that pops you out of bed in the morning. You have to force yourself to get up. You can't wait to get up. Right. So if you want that, then we gotta do the Habits of Millionaires. I say millionaires, just successful people, people who accomplish more. And one of them is the hell with plan B. Yes. In certain circumstances, I don't want to say, if it's medical, you want to go get as many opinions as you can. I'm not dabbling there. What I'm talking about is when you want to accomplish something big, something out of your comfort zone, that next level that you've been craving, then screw plan B. Make everything, all of your energy. Plan A, burn the boats, knock the wall down, go through the pain, go through whatever it takes and put all the focus is like, no, there's no, plan B. This is my life. You see, I've watched people for years desire another level of life. And I'll get. People come and they go, oh, I'm not crazy like you, or I'm not brave like you, man, I get scared to death about every next level of my life. If, if I ever portray that I got all this figured out, that I never worry, that I don't have any stress, that I'm not afraid things could go sideways, that I'm not afraid, that my high level investments could, could take all my money away, that maybe someday they'd figure out I'm not that smart. Like I have all those fears. Maybe you don't. If you don't, good for you. But I do. And to think they don't go away is one thing. So when people come up to me and go, oh, you're braver, you're. No, I, I just decided that I want more and I'm raising my standards. I'm not gonna settle for the life that my parents had. I'm not gonna settle. Even if your parents had a great job, but they were miserable or they were stuck in a routine that you wouldn't like, it's still not good for you. So what we have to do, what we do, share on these podcasts or other people you can learn from that have accomplished this. I just wanna share with you the stuff that gets you there. Right? We all want the vehicle, the way to make money, and I share that and I talk about that too. But if you come to an obstacle and you go, wow, that's a pretty tall wall. Well, I'm going to try to climb it, but if not, then I'll just go sit over there and I'll spend the rest of my life being okay over there. If you do that, then you have an exit plan. You give yourself an excuse. It's like saying, I'm going to go to the gym, I'm going to try to lose weight, but if not, I can live with being overweight. It's okay. No, screw that. You want to get in good shape, make no other options except for being in shape. You want to start the business, do it. I'm not saying go, quit your job tomorrow. I mean, listen, I want to be as open and transparent and even more personal on these podcasts than any other place is. When I wanted to go in the real estate business, let me start. I was cutting firewood in high school. That made me money. And then I started working on cars. I started a car business that I Started fixing wrecked cars. Had a collision shop that started doing great and making me enough money to live okay while I was making. While I was making money with my car shop. Then at nights I worked on real estate. Then when the real estate made me more money in the cars, I quit the car business and I was full blown into the. Into the real estate world. Then I was in the real estate world. I decided I want to teach other people how I do this. And I started writing books and doing courses and doing infomercials on real estate. And I never quit real estate, but I quit it as my full time job when my education and training went to a whole nother level. And then when I was selling books, I decided I wanted to go in the live event business. But the book business fueled the live event business and boom. Another level. Now you see how that was. I didn't quit the one thing, but I didn't. I knew I wasn't staying there. I said, this is just going to pay the bills until this new company explodes, until it takes, until it replaces that income. Then I'm burning that boat. No plan B. I wasn't saying I'm going to try real estate. If it doesn't work, I'll go back to cars. No. I knew in my head mentally the car business for me was done. That bridge was burnt. It wasn't a plan B. I was actually fading it out. So that's my personal story. What's yours? Where have you wanted to go? To another level. But your plan B might be holding you back. Because it's okay and it's good. You wouldn't be watching me if okay and good was good enough for you. It's time to burn the boats. It's time to decide where you want to go. It's time to mentally make the decision. You are getting over that wall no matter what it takes. If you got to dig under it, go around it, climb over it, get dynamite and blow it up, your next level lives on the other side of that. What's up? What's up?
