How to Accomplish ANY GOAL That You SET! | Brendon Burchard | Top 10 Rules for Massive Success

Brendon, you want to be a writer? You can't write. You have to actually take an action that moves you forward. Getting very clear on the mission. I think doubt is one of the greatest enemies of our lives. So if you're going to go to a meeting, sit down and say, "Guys, I have 45 minutes today for this meeting." The time to have the map is before you enter the woods. Get back in the game where you have a community of people who are giving you advanced feedback before you release it. We just start trying to live a life that's not even our own. I had— nobody had ever really told me I had any potential before.

I have to change myself He's an American author on motivation, high performance, and online marketing. He's the founder of the Experts Academy and High Performance Academy. He's the number one New York Times bestselling author of The Millionaire Messenger. He's Brendon Burchard, and here are his top 10 rules for success.

No matter where you are in accomplishing your dreams or moving towards the things that you really want in life, never let your small beginnings make you small-minded. It's easy to say, well, that's impossible. And I know lots of people are telling you that, that's impossible. You know how many people told me what I'm doing today is impossible? Brendon, you want to be a writer? You can't write. Brendon, you want to be a trainer? You want to be a speaker? You want to do YouTube videos? You're not good on video. You're not good at this. You're not good at this. It's impossible. Oh, you don't understand how hard it is to make it, Brendon. It's so hard these days. The stuff that people tell me, and I know have told you, is so nonsensical and based on so many of their own fears that have been unexplored that it's sad. And it can really cause great people to stop trying to do great things. So I wanna encourage you, no matter where you are, believe in yourself, keep at it, keep working, keep going, I mean, success and fulfillment are gonna come from your unflagging ability to believe in what other people call impossible. It's gonna come from your unflagging ability to get up each day and work towards things that maybe you don't know where they're going. Maybe they're not getting you what you want right away. Maybe it's not easy. Maybe it is a struggle, but it is through that struggle and that effort and that dream and the desire that you get there. You have to actually show up every day and inch yourself forward toward these dreams. And not only show up every day and once in a while inch yourself, I mean every day you have to actually take an action that moves you forward. Not just research, not just thinking. Look, the power of intention is great, but without any initiative, it's dead, right? A dream is great, but without any movement, it's dead. You have to be moving towards it every day. You can send an email every day. You can make a call every day. You can write something every day, you can create something every day, you can contribute something every day, but it has to be daily, otherwise it will never become actualized. The highest performers in the world didn't get there 'cause they were lucky. They worked at it longer than everyone else. They had a better work ethic, and it's not that they necessarily always worked harder, they worked smarter because they were doing the research. They were taking the time to visualize how they would be distinct, different, how they would survive the tough times. They really kept at it. Keep every single day momentum going, and if you don't do that, there's no chance. You must define your mission. You need to have a mission for what you're doing today. You need to have an intention for what your next task is going to be. What happens, most people just kind of show up and they go, okay, well, I guess I'll do some stuff, but they have no intention whatsoever, so they end up doing too many things that mean nothing towards their mission. You should figure out what is it you desire in life and figure out the steps to get there and start working a plan to get there and minimizing everything else. Getting very clear on the mission, very clear on the mission, and working the plan. Everything else, guess what it gets? A no. Until you reach that mission or until you're significantly on your way, that you have free resources to be able to focus elsewhere. And that's what people do. They take on too many projects because they're not clear about their mission. Because I'm guessing if you're watching this, you know, you're somebody who wants to add value and make a difference in the world. So anytime someone asks you to do something, you're like, "Yeah, let me help you." But that might not have anything to do with the quality of life or the objective or the thing that you're trying to achieve or the service you're really intending to offer. Right? And I know how hard it is because I'm so pulled myself towards causes and towards volunteerism, towards helping so many people. But guess what? If I help everybody in lots of different areas, I might not make my ultimate mission of serving the people I want to serve the most, of making my dreams come true so I can support more people, of running my business so I can support more people. Meaning it's easy to take your eye off the ball if you don't know what the ball is. And people often have never defined their mission. And if you don't have one right now for this day, if you didn't have a drive, a mission, a written-down statement about what you were gonna accomplish today, a checklist, a goal sheet, a time management tool that you filled out today and you're just showing up today and going, "Well, I guess I'll see what my inbox tells me to do today," and you just respond to everybody else's desires and everyone else's emails and you're just always in reaction, always responding to everybody, no proactivity towards a mission that you defined yourself, you'll be lost. You'll find that because you never focused on that one thing or moving towards those several things that were your priority, that you're just lost. Because, and here's another thing, focus goes out the window when we don't have progress. Right? If we're not progressing towards something, our focus goes out the window. We just don't pay attention to anything. We don't feel good about ourselves. You want to get more focus in your life? Get more progress. As you progress more, you start to get excited. You start to pay attention to things that are working, that are moving you forward, and you start to find more focus in your life. First enemy we all have is doubt. You know, we doubt whether or not we're capable. We doubt whether or not we're worthy. We doubt whether or not we'll succeed. We doubt whether or not we even deserve it. And it's so unfortunate because I think doubt is one of the greatest enemies of our lives and it's so easy to overcome, but most people won't practice the discipline of overcoming it, which is weird, right? They say, "Oh, I'm so doubtful," and they stop. And it's like, if you have any negative recurring emotion in your life, doesn't maturity require you to face it and say, "Hey, how do I fix this?" You know, if you're always doubtful, you can't just wander around saying, "Oh, I'm so doubtful," like some kind of victim. That's not fair to the humanity you've been given, that real power of free will that says, "Hey, you can direct your consciousness." That's why you have this big prefrontal cortex. Other animals can't. We can. So handle it. If you've been plagued with doubt your whole life, then face it. Stop running from it. I know that sounds hard to say to people, but I was— I had the same story. I was so doubtful that people would want to care about what I say. I was so doubtful that people would want to read my books or listen to me at all. I was so doubtful that I could chase my own dreams and I realized, for what reason am I doubtful? Because of past failures in the space? No, I'm trying something new. Because people told me I might not be able to do it? So? What makes them an expert on my capabilities and my potentialities? I thought, well, why am I so doubtful? We're doubtful because the germ of fear spread in our body because somebody planted it there one time or we cultivated with our own thoughts. And at some point, maturity and consciousness says, "If doubt has been plaguing you, let's have a look at it and let's realize, well, how do you banish it?" Well, every single thing that we know from spirituality, from philosophy, from the great writers and the great of human culture has all revealed one thing: Where there is doubt, grant me faith. That we have to have faith. And faith does not mean the absence of doubt. Matter of fact, the very definition of faith relies that doubt is still there, right? You can't have faith unless there's some part of you that says, "Well, I'm gonna go anyway despite the doubt." So I'm not saying we have to get rid of doubt forever and handle it. I'm saying doubt should never prevent you from advancing when you feel like advancing, that in your own mind you must say, okay, I must trust in my abilities. I must trust that I will figure it out. I must trust that I can build it. I must trust that I can get some help and progress even though the doubt might be there. Look, the hero is a hero because the hero does it anyway, right? Even though the hero's terrified and risking it all, goes anyway. And we're all heroes in some way. We can all be courageous but I also think, you know what, society overblows courage. Society says, you know, courage has to be some big magnificent act but it's not. I mean courage in this world anymore is just having the belief in yourself and having the ability to genuinely express who you are. If you're doubting yourself, the only way through is to give yourself more faith and take more action. And with more faith and more action comes more competence. With more competence comes more confidence. In psychology, they call it the competence-confidence loop, right? The more you learn and try, the more you master and develop. So go out there even with that— yes, let the doubt be there, but do it anyway. Be more explicit in communicating your boundaries. Be more explicit in communicating your time. So if you're gonna go to a meeting, Sit down and say, guys, I have 45 minutes today for this meeting. Can't go a second over. And they're like, oh, okay. And stop going over on your times. If you said you were gonna work out for an hour, work out for an hour, stop, go. A lot of the, what I call bleed time, ends up taking away from our balance. Bleed time is those things where you go over on things that you didn't need to go over on. You know, that one cocktail with your friend ended up being on 16, you know, and you lost the entire night now, or that one, you know, lunch meeting you were gonna have turned into 4 hours and now you lost the day of work, or that one show you were gonna watch before getting back to work turned into a whole season and you're like, oh no, the day, the night is gone. That's called bleed time. It's where so much time just dissipates because you didn't stick to your mark. So set your boundary, Communicate it clearly with people and don't go over on things anymore. A lot of people, if they just started with the intention, said, "We're only gonna do this for this much time and then we gotta go." If they stuck to that, they would get better balance. If you're really going to get ahead, you have to study your craft. You have to deeply study it. You know, I decided, what was it now, 18 years ago that I wanted to help inspire and motivate people and I wanted to coach people one-on-one on motivation and on high performance. I wanted to write books on the topics. So 18 years ago, I started reading a book a week on psychology, leadership, communication, marketing, anything I could get out of my hand about human behavior and high performance. I was studying everything I could in psychology every single week. Now, it's like people are like, "Wait, you read a book a week for 17 years?" I don't brag about it. I'm not like, "Oh yeah, look at me." That was for my passion. I knew if I really wanted success succeed at something, I had to study it and I had to study it deeply. And I couldn't, you know, spend all this time doing all the other things. So I had to study my craft. The great artists of our past history, that's what they did. They did one thing. They had a true level of depth of study in that area. Now maybe they dabbled in some other areas too, but they became famous because they studied one area. And so what's your area? What's the thing you need to study on to develop a deep level of competence into how to do it and how that world works. Because, you know, we have the saying in Montana that the time to have the map is before you enter the woods. But a lot of people have a dream and they run out into the woods and they just start trying stuff and they take this path and this path and this path and this path, and because they didn't study best practices, they someday, you know, they wake up and they're lost. They're confused about who they are and where they're at, and they're in this dark forest of the unknown with no plan to get out. They had no idea. They just jumped into something. They didn't study before taking that leap. And I will say, you know what, study, pay attention, learn from the best, model the most intelligent, smart, successful people you can in any given area that you want to succeed in, in your life before you get into it. Then develop competency by doing it over and over over and over and over again. Don't do it once in a while here and there, over and over and over. That's how you get competence. You need to get in a community where you can get feedback. You need either a coach who can give you some direct one-to-one feedback or community of friends who you just go out with. Maybe you go to lunch with them once a month, you share everything you're doing, they give you some feedback, or you shoot a video, you send that video out to everybody, get some feedback on it. You create a PowerPoint, practice it with 5 people before the big meeting. Like, get back in the game where you have a community of people who are giving you advanced feedback before you release it. Feedback before you do it so that you get smarter at all of this because you know what? Nothing makes a dream come more into life than when you start getting feedback from other people about your movement toward the dreams. You know, before I shoot a big sales video for one of my online courses, I'll send it out to 15, 20 people and get feedback and then I'll often go reshoot it again, you know, or I'll put it out into my community and I'll see the clicks, the conversions and say, it's not, let's do it again. And it's that willingness to get feedback that will keep your dream alive. 'Cause look, if it's just in your mind and you're just doing it by yourself, but you never actually get a positive community giving you constructive feedback towards it, it will never be that, It will never be in the social realm. And when it is in the social realm, it feels more real. You know, when people actually comment, I mean, it's one thing to be an artist and in your studio painting for yourself all day. That's great. But once you get some feedback on it and constructive feedback, you become, you get that self-awareness and that social awareness to contribute and create at another level. What is it you're really after? And is it after what you are? You after enough for yourself? Are you, are you limiting yourself based on your current competencies? A lot of people do that. They narrow their vision or their ambition for tomorrow based on what they can do today or who they are today without realizing they can develop their mastery, their skills, their competency, their knowledge, their experience, without realizing they can become a better person. They can live into their highest self. They can live into into the type of person who could accomplish those goals, who could have those things. So never limit your ambitions based on your current competencies. Never limit yourself today based on your current inadequacies because those can be irrelevant tomorrow. The main thing is to have aim in life, to have your own aim, to have your own ambitions, not the ambitions somebody told you you should have or someone told you you're supposed to be be after, because that's how we all get on sort of, you know, sometimes a corporate treadmill, or we get on those things where we just start trying to live a life that's not even our own because we're just going with everybody. But ambition liberates that. Your individual ambition, who you want to become, what you want to do, what you want to contribute, and the highest forms of all ambition usually come down to your creative expression, creative expression, your contribution, and your connection with others. That creative expression— what is it you want to create in this world? And I mean, get your hands dirty doing, you know, not just create some PowerPoint once in a while for some corporate thing, but something real and meaningful that you consider art for yourself, whatever that is. Even if it is a PowerPoint presentation, right? But to do something that you find artistic and meaningful, that's our human drive for creative expression. Then what about contribution? What's your ambition to give and to serve greatly for others? What do you really want to give back or give to others? What is it? And what about connection? You know, the ultimate ambition and aim to have, I think, for a lot of people is their relationships. To operate and have a love that knows no bounds. I mean, a love that that is extraordinary, that is amazing. You can't improve your relationship with your family or your spouse or those that you serve unless you have in some sense about you that desire to love or give or connect more. So today, get clear. What is it you want? And is it big enough for yourself? Not limiting yourself based off your inadequacies or your competencies, but based on what you truly desire. Last challenge, take whatever that is that you come up with and 10x it. Take it by 10 times. What would be 10 times that ambition? Not just because it's silly, I know, I know it's kind of silly, but to take that ambition that you initially have, which is usually— what we usually want is an impulse based on who we are today. And I just challenge people, no, think bigger for yourself because you are immense, you are magnificent, you are powerful beyond your current understandings. So break through that another level. Challenge your brain to think even bigger for yourself, even if it's just as an activity to break the bounds of your current beliefs and behaviors. You deserve something extraordinary in your life, but at first you have to want it. What makes a great person these days? What really makes someone extraordinary? What makes somebody stand out? What's going to make you feel like you're contributing your best, like like you're making your difference and that you're always aspiring to be a better human, but you're also achieving along the way. I would argue that that thing that makes us great is generosity. You know, the ability to be generous to others with your time, your attention, your mentorship, your care, your love, your patience, your forgiveness, your understanding, your spirit, your energy. When you are generous with who you are, people vibrate with that. They feel it, they sense it, and they're surprised by it. In a world today where no one will even take time to say hello or to call somebody or to show a measure of appreciation, when you do that, you stand out, but you also light up in your soul. You know, it changes everything when you're willing to be different, when you're willing to be generous with people. Because really, you know, it's a very biblical thing. Ask and you shall receive. I also think that in terms of in terms of chasing your dreams, give and you shall receive. Give as much of your heart and your spirit and your life and your voice to this world, this time, this day, this person in front of you because we only get one shot at this life. And today it never happens, you don't see it. I'm blessed to be here and shooting this video at my writer's villa where I come to write and now shoot these episodes. And I can share with you, you know, all this, when I got here and when I think about this space, it came from a place, position of generosity. And it came from a position of generosity in my life so long ago when I had a high school mentor, Mrs. Baloo, who believed in me. She saw me take some pictures and she said, "You know, those pictures are pretty good." Even though honestly looking back, they were kind of crap. But she cheered me on anyway because I was putting effort and she could see I was kind of passionate about it. And she said, you know, 'You could probably write and you could probably shoot these photographs.' And I had— nobody had ever really told me I had any potential before. And here's this person for no reason saying, 'You could probably do this.' And I started doing it and she'd cheer me on and cheer me on. And her generosity of her time, her effort, her mentorship, she wasn't— there was no reason she did it. She just believed in me. But you know what? She believed in everybody around her. She was always cheering people on, always rewarding effort, always telling people to pursue their passions and believe in themselves. And I'm here today, I get to do this work with you, and millions of people see these videos and hear me online or watch my posts online or read my emails every single week because this woman, who was a teacher at a simple high school in a simple town with a simple, beautiful, generous spirit, said, "I believe in you, kid." I remember when I was going to start my business and I really wanted to be good at it. You know, I was trying to become an author and a speaker and do these types of videos and do some online training for people on the topics of motivation and marketing. And you know, some— all these people are saying, "Well, Brendon, you know, you may or may not be successful at that. You're, you know, blah blah blah." And I thought, "It's a weird thing." It's not like there's a trait of successful people. You look across history and successful people, it's It's not— they're not from a given background. They don't come from a specific economic stature. They're not in a position where, you know, they're one demographic or another demographic. I mean, it's all over. I mean, we've got thousands of collective years of history. People succeed. Some people do, some people don't. And I think it more comes down to how do we manage our mind and how do we manage our days. And I think that there's a difference between successful people and unsuccessful people in the way they particularly think about approaching something new. You know, I think unsuccessful people, when they have a big dream and they start thinking about what's going to be required to accomplish that dream, they get very limiting in their beliefs about themselves and what's possible. And specifically, they say 3 types of things. You know, the first thing they often say is, well, you know, I don't know how to do that. So they stop. They say, you know, I don't have those things. So they stop. Or they say, "I don't know, you know, I'm not like those people. I'm not like that." And so they stop. But successful people have a different way. They have the same thing. Everybody dreams. You dream. I dream. Successful people dream. People just starting out, everybody dreams. Everyone has a vision. Everyone, if they could just take 5 minutes today and think about their lives, we could all come up with ways to improve our lives and reach reach another level of success, joy, happiness, achievement, contribution, fulfillment, soul. You know, we can all elevate. But the challenge is that unsuccessful people, they keep stopping when they think of what they currently know, have, or are. But successful people say, "Well, I want to do that, but I don't know how to do that." But instead of stopping, they say, "Well then, my job is to go learn that." They take their current limitation and they put it on their agenda as a job to do, as a thing to figure out, a thing to make happen. Instead of saying, "Well, I don't have that," they say, "Well, then my job is to go build that." Or, "I'm not like that." Then they say, "Well, then my job is to go become more of that, become that person who could accomplish those things." When I was starting to do online marketing for the first time, and I don't know how much of my story you know, but when I started doing online marketing, I was literally bankrupt. And I went from a place of bankruptcy to the point where I really committed to becoming successful at it. And in 18 months, I made $4.8 million, $4.6 million collected. I mean, it was a huge leap, right, in difference from bankrupt to multimillionaire in in a span of 18 months. But what made that breakthrough wasn't that I had new opportunities. It wasn't that I had new technologies. It wasn't like, wow, there's the internet now. Those things were already there. It went— I went from this level of thinking to this level of thinking. I used to say, well, I don't know how to build a web page. So I said, agenda: figure out how to build a web page. And I spent hours and hours and hours at nights, on weekends, from from my job figuring out how to do that. And I said, well, I don't have one of those lists, you know, I don't have any subscribers, nobody knows who I am. So I said, job, go build a list, go get subscribers, go add value and content out in the marketplace and they'll come. I mean, just keep putting stuff out there. And I also didn't say, oh my gosh, well, I have that dream, I can't have that because I'm not like that. Because I wasn't a public speaker, I didn't know how to do video, I wasn't like, Well, I'm not one of those video people. Well, I'm not a public speaker. So I said, you know what? I have to go learn that art. I have to go become a better speaker, a better communicator. I have to go become more confident. I have to go become a person capable of doing these things. I have to change myself to get there. I can't wait for circumstances to change so I can have my dream. Then our dreams would never happen. We have to get to the point of maturity in our lives where we say, okay, 2 things are gonna change my life. Something new is gonna come into my life and make me lucky and blessed, and maybe I can't count on that forever. And maybe now instead I have to consciously design my life and say, "Okay, now if I want to change, if I want my dream, something new has to come from me. I'm going to become a better person. I'm going to become a person who is more optimistic, who is more confident, who is more driven." Not because I am that now, but because we can grow. That you can become the type of person who needs to— who you need to be to achieve your ideal life. You can start today living from your highest ideals, your highest sense of self, your strongest sense of self. You don't need permission. You don't need a guy like me to look at the video camera and say, "You have now permission." But if you've been waiting for it, you have permission. It's like at some point in your life you just say, "Okay, I have permission to become my best self. And by becoming your best self, you start to achieve your best things. You start to contribute better things. You start to become a better human being. You can do that now, today. So next time you're thinking about a big dream, don't think about the things that— well, I don't know how to do that— and stop. Think, I don't know how, so set it up on your calendar to go learn those things. I don't have that, then set it up step by step to go build that. I'm not like that, then set it up step by step to go develop those skill sets and those competencies so you can become that, and ultimately you can achieve that dream. It's there, it's waiting for you. Don't stop.

Thank you so much for watching. I made this video because Priscilla asked me to. So if there's a famous entrepreneur that you want me to profile next, leave it in the comments below and I'll see what I can do. I'd also love to know which of Brendon Burchard's top 10 rules meant the most to you had the biggest impact? Leave it in the comments and I'll join in the discussion. Thank you so much for watching. Continue to believe, and I'll see you soon.

The first thing you have to do in order to improve your mind is take total control of your attention and notice where are your thoughts right now. Uh, at a very continual basis, you have to think, where are my thoughts right now? Are they supporting me or are they automatically coming up negative and self-protective in ways that are not advancing my life? Just to be aware, to be conscious of what's going on in your body, in your sense of feeling and emotion, and the sense of the thoughts you're actually having. Just start paying attention. You know, for a lot of people, because they've never done this before and it's hard to remind them to do it, it's like simple. Here's what I want you to do. Just start paying attention to your thoughts anytime you're in line. Anytime you're in line from now on. If you're in line at Starbucks, just say, "I'm in line at Starbucks. Brendon said think about my thoughts. What are my thoughts saying right now?" Just checking in. You're in line in traffic waiting for the next car, just sit and think, "What are my thoughts right now?" And just notice what you've been thinking about. The more we notice what we've been thinking about, the more we can interrupt what we've been thinking about. See, if we just allow that feeling to keep coming up and you don't pay attention to it, our life can be very frazzled and very highly anxious. But once we say, what's my mind on right now, and we redirect it, that is where personal power comes from. First, awareness, right? An understanding and the consciousness of what's going on. But then the ability now to be self-directive, to choose what we want to focus on. So first, we're attentive to to it and then redirect it. If it's negative, it's not supporting you, redirect it. How do you redirect it? First and foremost, you just say, "What would be the opposite of this negative thing?" Then you think about the positive thing and you focus on that and you repeat it to yourself. For many people, that might include closing their eyes, just visualizing a more positive outcome, thinking about the more positive outcome, thinking about more positive outcome, thinking about the more positive outcome, focusing on with their eyes closed. And that visualization of a more positive outcome of how things could turn out well or how the situation could be better or even just what are the next steps I should take. Visualizing that and assigning a high amount of importance and duration to it, meaning making that thing important to us by making it— how do you make something important? You give it a sensation. You feel that thing. You sense it. Sense what your next step would be. You sense how it would feel if the outcome would be better, how it would feel emotionally, psychologically, spiritually for that thing to be up. Allow it to have a lot of emotion to it. Pay attention to it. Your eyes closed, you see that thing, you feel it, you sense a different step, you know what you're going to do, you pay attention to it, and you keep focusing on that just over a period of minutes. Keep focusing and keep focusing, focusing. When your mind automatically wants to go back to the easy, which might be negative, you, you go, no, no, no, no, I don't want to— I'm not into easy right now. I'm into conditioning my mind. Focus, focus, focus, focus. Give attention, duration, and sensation to it. Attention, duration, sensation. Attention, duration, sensation. Visualization, visualization, visualization. It's repetition of that positive alternative to a negative impulse that comes up that gives us personal power. You know, so many people say to me, "Well, Brendon, I'm wiped out. I'm tired. I wish I had your energy," or whatever. I know a lot of people don't want to have my energy, it's too annoying, I get it. But what if we had you tap back into your aliveness again? You know, what if you just chose, not for any reason, not for what emotions come up in your human body, because emotions just come up, right? Your nervous system sometimes, you don't even know why you feel what you feel. Like something can trigger you, a sound, a movement, something someone says, or just your physical body of what you ate a couple hours ago. Or how much you slept 3 days ago can catch up to you, and your body and your emotions can kind of go, "Pshew." But we have the saying, "The power plant doesn't have energy, it generates energy." What if your dominant frame said, "You know what, I'm gonna focus on my aliveness," and you started cultivating an aliveness in your body and in your mind for no other reason than I said so, no other reason than you decided to. You said, "You know what, today," I'm going to focus on what's great about me, but I'm also going to focus on being fully alive and engaged and present. And how do you do that? Just, what if you just felt more grateful for the life that you had? You know, look, you're breathing, you're alive. We have this incredible gift that we're all here right now, you know? It's like, I'm here, you're here. What if we took that seriously and we started to realize what a gift it is to be alive and we allowed ourselves to feel that? Feel alive, not for any reason. No one made us happy. No one did anything for us. We just felt alive again. And we started asking ourselves on a daily basis, "What level of aliveness do I feel in my body right now? Do I feel at a level 0, like dead, or do I feel like a level 10? I'm fully alive, fully engaged, fully present." And we willed ourself into feeling more alive every day. It's the number 1 question I get from all of my work. It's like, "Wow, you have a lot of energy on what you do. How do you get it?" I don't get it, I don't find it, I generate it. The power plant doesn't have energy, it generates it. If you want to feel better about your life, generate more aliveness for no other reason than you choose to. Life should be incredibly valuable to you. If you really value your days, like, the day becomes valuable. So because your day is valuable, you get stuff done. You know why a lot of people end up feeling really broke is because they're not valuing their day. They're broke because they added no value to their day. They were reading celebrity gossip magazines. They were screwing around online. They were doing nothing that actually moved the needle in terms of their personal progress and their professional progress. So value this day. You want to make more money? Get serious about tomorrow. Value that day. Ask how you can add more more value into the day. Really work the day. And as you do that over and over and over again, you ask, how can I serve? How can I contribute? How can I take it to the next level? You do that long enough, the breakthrough happens, the magic happens, and the money takes care of itself.
