In this live coaching session, clinically trained hypnotherapist and entrepreneur coach Jay Shaw delivers a high‑energy, motivational monologue about the power of imagination, mindset, and manifesting for entrepreneurs. He repeatedly asserts that the only real limitation is one’s own imagination: if you can think it, you can do it. Jay explains that thoughts generate feelings, which then drive actions and ultimately shape reality, urging listeners to create the desired feeling first rather than waiting for external results. He stresses the importance of crystal‑clear desire—moving beyond merely identifying what one dislikes to articulating exactly what one wants—and offers a simple method: examine what you don’t like and ask what the opposite would look like. Jay frames leadership as “going first” internally, urging entrepreneurs to lead their inner reality before the outer world catches up. He also discusses the problem‑solution dynamic, claiming that big problems hide big solutions that become visible when attention shifts from the problem to the solution. Throughout, he intersperses calls to action (subscribe, comment, hire his coaching) and outlines the specific entrepreneurial challenges he helps with (confidence, pricing, burnout, work‑life balance, speaking anxiety). The talk blends motivational rhetoric, practical mental‑reprogramming tips, and promotional messaging, concluding with an invitation for further engagement.
Chapters
Jay, we headed to the office and we gonna talk mindset. We gonna talk entrepreneurship. We gonna talk manifesting. Yeah, we gonna talk entrepreneurship, manifesting, the mindset. We gonna start with the fact that you could be doing, have anything you desire. Your only limit in life is your own imagination. If you could think it, you could do it. Can't think it, you gonna have a hard time doing it. But if you could think it, you could do it. If you can hold it in your mind, you can hold it in your hands. If you can't hold it in your mind, you can let it go. That business that you want, that life that you want, that car that you want to drive, that house that you want to live in, you got to learn how to hold it in your mind. You got to learn how to feel worthy. You got to learn how to feel like you moving in that direction before the results out there change. You got to understand that the results follow your feelings. You got to stop letting your feelings follow the result. That's not what being a leader is. When we look at being a leader, being a leader literally means to go first. If you want to change your life, if you want to have something you never had before, if you want to sit in a reality that you never sat in before, you got to go first. You got to go internally and go there. You can't wait on reality to catch up. You'll never get it if you waiting on reality. Stop letting reality bully you. Stop letting what has been bully you. Stop letting the current bank account bully you. Stop letting the economy bully you. Stop letting the news bully you. You got to get clear about what you want so that you can start moving in that direction. Your only limit in life is your own imagination. I'm gonna say that over and over and over again because you got to let that sink in. You gotta get that in your mind. My only limit is my own imagination. If I can think it, I can do it. Can't think it, can't do it. But because I can think it, I can do it. And when I learn how to think it to the point of feeling it, I'm gonna start doing it on accident. I just gave you a whole bunch of sauce right there. If you learn how to think it to the point of feeling it, you're gonna start moving in that direction on accident. Think about it. When you feel sad, you don't gotta try to do sad. When you feel sad, you'll do sad on accident. When you feel angry, you don't gotta try to do angry. You'll do angry on accident. I want you to get to a place where you feel wealthy so that you can start doing wealthy on accident. I want you to get to a place where you feel creative so you can start doing creative things on accident. I want you to get to the point where you feel like an entrepreneur so When you feel like entrepreneur, you'll come up with some really good ideas on accident. You'll find some really cool opportunities on accident. You'll start networking with some real dope people on accident, but you gotta sit in the feeling. You can't wait on the result outside of you to create the feeling. You will never create the feeling. You gotta create things from the inside out. Everything is built from the inside out. Nothing is built from the outside in. It would collapse if it was built from the outside in. So that business that you wanna have, that relationship that you wanna have, that body that you gotta have, you gotta get clear about what it is that you desire. Your only limit in life is your own imagination. If you can imagine it, you can do it. Okay? All this energy that you wasting trying to convince other people, sit it down. You don't got to convince your mom. You don't got to convince your dad. You don't got to convince your partner. If you convince yourself, everybody else will buy in. But if you never convince you, they'll never buy in. If you can think it, you can do it. Your only limit in life is your own imagination. If you can't think it, you're gonna have an impossible time doing it. What do you want? Most people, when they come into my office or they jump on a Zoom call with me, the problem is never skill. The problem isn't they can't do it. The problem is they don't know what they want. They know what they don't want, but you gotta understand, knowing what you don't want is not the same thing as knowing what you would like to have. Knowing what you don't want is not the same thing as knowing what you would like to have. Knowing that you don't like your job, knowing that you don't like your boss, knowing that you don't like your circumstances and they overwork you and underpay you, it's not the same thing as saying, hey, I want to get paid to play. I don't want to work, I want to play. I want to get paid to do things that I would do for absolutely free. I'm really big into psychology. I'm really big into NLP. I'm really big into mindset and influence. I want to coach entrepreneurs. I want to teach entrepreneurs how to think. I want to empower entrepreneurs and let them know that their only limit is their own imagination. As I started thinking about what I want, I'm gonna accidentally start creating that life that I want. When I first started getting clear about what I want, I accidentally started reading books that helped me move in that direction. I accidentally started listening to podcasts that helped me move in that direction. I accidentally started networking and meeting other people who were headed in a similar direction, and we started motivating each other. We started pouring life into each other. But guess what? When I was talking about what I didn't want, when I was complaining about what I didn't want, I accidentally was meeting people who were joining me in complaining. I accidentally was meeting people that was like, bro, I get it, man. It ain't enough money out there. It's the government's fault. It's this. When I was talking about what I didn't want, my friend circle was full of people who didn't— who was also focused on what they didn't want. But when I started focusing on what I want, I I accidentally started to change my reality. I accidentally started meeting new people. I accidentally went back to school. I accidentally got out of the military when I started focusing on what I want. Do yourself a favor, get crystal clear about what it is that you want. Figure out what it is that you want. And after you do yourself that favor, I want you to do me this favor. If you haven't already, you got to hit that subscribe button. I'm Coach Jay. I coach bosses. I'm a clinically trained hypnotherapist. I've been doing hypnosis for about 20 years, and I work primarily with entrepreneurs. I help entrepreneurs with entrepreneur problems. I help people with, I'm afraid to charge what I'm worth. I help people with work-life balance. I'm making all of this money, but my wife hates me. My marriage is falling apart. I help people with confidence. I help people with self-esteem. I help people with speaking anxieties and social anxieties. I help people with performance burnout. All the things that we deal with as entrepreneurs and executives and athletes and performers, I work with these guys. I coach bosses. If you a boss or you aspire to be a boss, you're gonna love it here. If you're not a boss, you don't ever aspire to be a boss, you're gonna hate it here. I'm gonna push you Harder than you want to be pushed. I'm gonna motivate you and I'm gonna force you to jump. If you're not ready to jump, you might want to get out of here because you're gonna jump on accident if you hang around here. If you can think it, you can do it. If you can think it, you can do it. But the crazy thing is it works at both ends of the spectrum. If you can think anxiety, guess what? You better get ready to do anxiety. If you're thinking depression, you better get ready to do depression. If you're thinking fear, you better get ready to live in fear. But the opposite end of that stick, if you thinking motivation, if you thinking inspired, if you thinking entrepreneur, you're gonna do all of that stuff. accident. Your thought— your feelings follow your thoughts, and your body follows your feelings. Change your thoughts so that you can change your feelings so that you can change your life. You got to change your thoughts so that you can change your feelings so that you can change your life. Thoughts without feelings not going to do anything for you. You got to change the way you think. But if you change the way you think, you'll accidentally change the way you feel. And once you change the way you feel, you're going to accidentally change your life. Your life is always responding to how you feel. If you ever notice, how you feel has a funny way of becoming your sense of I am. When you feel tired, what do you say? I am tired. When you feel angry, I am angry. When you feel happy, when you feel confident, I am confident. You see how your life is shaping around how you feel? Your life is literally shaping around how you feel. I see somebody, um, dropped a comment, but, uh, my focus is, is here, so I can't look over there long enough to read it. But if I do come to a stop, I will check it out. If you can think it, you can do it. If you can't think it, you can't do it. But if you can think it. If you could think it, you'll do it. You got to learn how to think about what you want. You got to put your attention on what you want. You got to put your focus on what you want. If you could think it, you can do it. But in order to think it, you got to know what you want. A lot of people have no idea what they want. They know what they don't want. They know what they don't like, but they don't know what they'd rather have. You got to figure out what you want. You got to figure that out today. If you don't know what you want, I need you to fit— well, you need you to figure that out today. Don't go to bed without knowing what you want. You got to start getting clear on what you want. And if you don't know how to get get started on figuring out what you want, let me tell you how. Look at what you don't like and ask yourself, what would you rather have? Like what? Look at what you don't like and say, well, what's the opposite of that? I don't like my job. Okay, well, what do I want? What do I want my days to look like? I don't like my relationship. What do I want my relationship to look like? Figure out what you want. You owe that to yourself. Nobody else not gonna do it for you. Stop waiting on other people outside of you to tell you what you want. You got to decide what you want. You got to figure out what you want, and you got to start focusing on it. And when you do that, oh man, you're gonna surprise yourself. You're gonna end up discovering things about yourself that you never knew. You're gonna end up creating some really cool things on accident, and that's when the true magic happens. You already manifested, okay? People ask me, well, how do I start manifesting? You couldn't stop manifesting. Look around. Love it or hate it, you manifested that. What you got to control is your focus, because you manifest on accident, but you manifest in the direction of what you focus on. When you look up the word manifest, the word manifest means to make obvious to the eye or the mind. That's all manifest mean. Manifest doesn't mean to hope for it. The manifest doesn't mean to wish for it. It means to make obvious to the mind. When you say things never work out for me, that's what you're making obvious to your mind. When you say, hey, I'm the type of person that's good at figuring things out, you're making something obvious to your mind. What are you constantly making obvious to your mind? That's what you manifest. If you're making it obvious to your mind that the eggs cost too much and the government is screwing everything up and it's just hard out here for entrepreneurs, if that's what you're making obvious to your mind, That's what you manifest. But if you're making it obvious to your mind, bro, I'm a boss, I'm good at figuring things out, if anybody can figure this shit out, it's me, I'm the type of person that always land on my feet, I'm creative, I'm an entrepreneur at heart, I figure stuff out, I can't be stopped, I'm unstoppable. If that's what's obvious to your mind, that's what you manifest. Your reality is always going to follow what's obvious to your mind. I suggest you get intentional with what you allow to become obvious to your mind. Stop letting things accidentally become obvious to your mind. Get intentional. Start thinking on purpose. Start feeling on purpose. Oh, you thought you had to just let your thoughts and feelings come as they came? Absolutely not. You better get in the habit of thinking and feeling on purpose. Get in the habit of telling your thoughts what to think and telling your feelings what to feel. And when you start living like that, oh man, you really are shaping your reality. Well, you're already shaping your reality, but that's when you start shaping your reality on purpose. Hold on, let me text my girl. Baby smiling face with heart eyes sunflower says Do I know where Farmers Branch at? Yeah, I know where Farmers Branch at. All right, is everything we talking about making sense? Is everything we talking about making sense? If you can think it, you can do it. If you can't think it, you can't do it. If you can put your mind on it, if you can put your attention on it to the point of stirring up a feeling in your body You will start to do it on accident. Okay, let me tell you something: problems create solutions. Small problems have small solutions; big problems have big solutions. If you got a big problem, it's a big solution with your name on it. The bigger the problem, the bigger the solution. Let me ask you something: if you misplace something in your house and it's teeny tiny tiny, it's probably gonna be real hard to find that teeny tiny thing, right? Well, let's suppose you misplaced something like a TV in your house. If you just start walking around your house, you'll probably be able to find that TV, right? You ain't got to look too hard to find that big TV. If it's a big problem in your life, it's a big solution out there with your name on it. And the bigger the solution, the easier it should be to find. But what's stopping you from finding that big-ass solution is you won't quit focusing on the big-ass problem. You are literally hypnotized by the problem. You're so hypnotized by the problem that you can't see this big-ass solution with your name on it. Take your attention off of the problem so that you can lock in on the solution. Start thinking about the solution. Start dreaming about the solution. Start talking about the solution. Start fantasizing about the solution and watch how the details start to fill in. Watch how the details start to fill in. Same way you discovered the problem on accident just by living and being aware, as you calibrate to the solution, you're gonna start to discover the solution the same way you discovered the problem. You got a problem that you didn't ask for. Guess what? It's a solution out there that you didn't ask for. But in order to become aware of it, you got to stop focusing on that problem. If you can think it, you can do it. If you think it hard enough to the point of feeling it, you'll start doing it on accident. You have no limits except the limits you place upon yourself. If you stop putting limits on you, you, you will soon discover that you have none. Just because somebody offer you a limitation don't mean that you got to accept it. They not talking about your reality, they talking about their reality. Stop letting other people shape your circumstances based off what they experience. I hate that for you. I hope you figure that out. But as for me and my household, we don't go to recessions. We're not going to a pandemic. I'm not buying into this notion that gas is too high and this is too— I can afford everything that I need and everything I desire. Money flows to me easily and effortlessly. I'm an abundant soul. You gotta stop letting people hypnotize you. You got to stop letting people copy and their reality on you. That's your reality. Those are your thoughts. Those are your feelings that created that life. I don't want that life, so I'm not gonna think like you. I'm not gonna talk like you. I'm not gonna feel like you. Because thinking, talking, and hanging out and sitting in that energy is gonna make my reality look the same. And you're gonna say, see, I told you. And I'm gonna go, you were right. But it's not the government that did that to me. It's me being sloppy with my thoughts and feelings that did that to me. You better take some ownership of your life. You better take ownership for getting your goals. It ain't nobody responsibility to save you. It ain't nobody responsibility to make you happy. It ain't nobody responsibility to make you confident and competent except for your own. Take ownership of your life. Everybody self-made. It's a quote that they used to say. Everybody love it or hate it, you created their life. You want to create something else, create something else. But in order to create So that's going to require you to quit complaining about what you are. Air in your lungs, it's not too late. If it's air in your lungs, it's not too late. If you can hear my voice, it's not too late. If you can watch a TV show and get angry, if you can watch a TV show and get sad, if you can watch a TV show and cry, you can start focusing on what you want and get motivated. You can start focusing on what you want and get inspired, but you're gonna have to uncross your arms, fix your face, and start focusing on what you want. You can't wait on the circumstance to change to feel better. You gotta feel better so that you can think better and you can create a new circumstance. The circumstance is following you. If you're a leader, give me something in the comments. If you identify as a leader, put a comment, put the letter A, put something in the comment if you identify as a leader. If I were to ask you, were you a leader, if you would say yes, I need to see something in the chat. How you really doing? I'm gonna give y'all time to do that. I'm gonna give you guys time to do that, because if you're a leader, that means you go first, okay? And you're gonna have to lead this new reality into existence. You're gonna have to go first. You're gonna have to send your thinking there first. You're gonna have to send your feelings there first. You're gonna have to send your emotions there first. And if you never do that, you will never have that reality. So if it's indeed important to you to have this reality, you got— you gotta start changing what you think about. You gotta start changing how you feel. You gotta stop waiting on things out there to change, and you gotta start changing stuff in here. When you waiting on things out there to change, that's the equivalent of me being here on the live and y'all say, hey, Coach Jay, you got something on your face. And instead of me wiping my face, I start wiping my phone. Think about that. If you say, hey, Coach Jay, you got something on your face, and I look at the phone, I say, oh, I sure do. I'm gonna And be honest, I'm not a big fan of the instead of wiping my face, I started wiping the phone. You would think I was crazy. But when you try to change your boss instead of changing your mind, that's what you're doing. When you're trying to change your bank account instead of changing your mind, that's what you're doing. When you're trying to change your body instead of changing your mind, that's what you're doing. Better stop doing that. Work on the cause, not the effect. The bank account is the effect of your thinking. The cause— the cause is the thinking. I'm gonna The be honest, I'm not a big fan of the way you're talking. cause is the feeling. That thing that you witness out there is the effect of what already happened in here and in here. I'm talking about in your mind. I'm talking about in your heart. In that brain and in that heart. That's where the change got to start. You got to create neural pathways around what you want. You got to start— get your endocrine system to start firing as if you moving in the direction of what you want. You got to uncross your arms and you got to make it crystal clear that if I could think it, I can do it. If I can think it, I can do it. If I can feel it, I'll do it on accident. If I can think it, I can do it. If I can feel it, I'll do it on accident. Your only limit in life is you. Your only limit in life is you. That's your only limit in life. Fix it. Fix your focus so you can fix your life. If you fix your focus, you'll accidentally fix your face. If you fix your focus, you'll accidentally shift your energy. If you shift your focus, you'll accidentally start attracting a higher quality of people that want to hang out with you. They want to be around you. They want to date you, they want to do business with you, they want to partner with you, they want to be friends with you. But when you focused on what you don't like, you continue to attract things that align with what you don't like. I get it, you don't like it. Stop studying it. Why are you studying it so much if you don't like it? Why are you talking about it so much if you don't like it? If you don't like the movie, turn it off. What do you want? It's time to put a new movie on. Watch this. When you watch a sad movie, do you got to try to get sad, or do you just got to watch the movie? When you watch a funny movie, do you got to try to laugh or do you just got to watch the movie? Figure out what you want and start focusing on it. As you start to focus on what you want, watch how you accidentally change your body language. Watch how you accidentally change your facial expression. Watch how you accidentally change your tone. I got on this live to talk to you guys. I didn't have a speech prepared. I didn't have nothing to talk. I got an image of what I want to do. I want. Remind entrepreneurs they can be, do, and have anything that they desire. I want to remind entrepreneurs that they only live it if they— that their only limit in life is their own imagination. I want to remind entrepreneurs that if they can think it, they can do it. And as I calibrate to that, and as I focus on that, the words find me. The metaphors, the stories that I tell, they find me. The right hand gestures, the right facial expressions, everything that I need is going to find me as I align and calibrate to where I'm supposed to be calibrated. You got to stop waiting Waiting on the perfect idea to feel creative. Start feeling creative so you can get the the perfect idea. You got to stop waiting on the mind-blowing idea to feel like entrepreneurs. Start feeling like entrepreneurs so that you accidentally start coming up with mind-blowing ideas. I come up with several mind-blowing ideas a year on accident, driving through traffic. Oh man, how did I never think of that? Taking a shower. Oh man, how did I never think of that? Out hanging out. Oh man. You start— when you start feeling like an entrepreneur, you'll start accidentally starting businesses. You'll start accidentally seeing solutions to other people's problems when you start feeling like an entrepreneur. You got to get out of this mindset of one day out. No, right now, right here, right now. And you got to sit in that right now until reality catches up. It's only delusion until reality catches up. When reality catches up, it's not delusion, it's your life. But you got to be willing to sit in that delusion independent of reality. Stop needing things out there to look a certain way before you give yourself permission to feel good. Stop doing that to yourself. Stop, stop letting reality bully you. You create reality. Reality doesn't create you. Reality requires your consciousness to exist. Stop lending your consciousness to things that don't serve you. Reality is dependent on you. You in charge, and it's time to start living like It's time for you to reclaim it. Take back control of your life. Stop letting life bully you. Stop letting life push you around. Stop being a victim of your circumstances. You can think it, you can do it. If you can think it, you can do it. And you can think it. You got to start controlling your mind. You got to start controlling your focus. You got to start controlling your mind. You got to start controlling your focus. And when you start doing that, you're going to amaze yourself. You're going to amaze yourself. You're going to wow yourself. If you can think it, you can do it. If you can think it, you can do it. Anybody got any questions about anything we've talked about so far, man? Now, for those of you who just tuning in, man, I'm Coach Jay. I'm a clinically trained hypnotherapist. I work primarily with entrepreneurs. I help entrepreneurs with entrepreneur problems. I help entrepreneurs with things like burnout, work-life balance. I'm making all this money, but my wife hates me. I've achieved all this stuff. I don't know what to do next. I'm afraid to charge what I'm worth. Limiting beliefs, confidence. I want to be a better speaker. I want to be a better orator. All those entrepreneurial problems, I get them. I'm an entrepreneur, and I teach people how to reprogram their mind so that they can step into their desired reality. So if you need some help with that, information is down there. Reach out. Don't be sitting there needing help when there's people who got the information you need. But I'm going to get ready to jump off. I love you guys. Ain't nothing you can do about Thank y'all for kicking it with me, man, and we're gonna do a lot more of these. A lot, lot more of these. I'll see y'all later.
