The first three of five success principles: Clarity means defining exactly what you want. Calibration means repeatedly feeding that goal to your nervous system through affirmations, journaling, scripting, or hypnosis until it feels familiar. Confidence follows naturally once your subconscious accepts the idea.
We talk about this thing called the 5 C's. If you're new here, you might have never heard about the 5 C's. If you come here a lot, you're probably tired of hearing about the 5 C's, but I don't care because it's the success formula. I don't care what I'm working on. I don't care if it's quit smoking, nail biting. I want to be a better speaker. I want more confidence. I'm afraid of heights. I'm afraid— I don't care what the issues is. I'm running through the 5 C's. First is clarity. I can't get what I want until I know what I want. Most people know what they don't want, but they don't know what they would rather have. You got to know what you want. Like, going through life not knowing what you want, that's like getting in a taxi and saying, don't take me to the mall, I hate the mall, it's too crowded, it's too many people, it's too expensive, I don't like it, I'm not paying $300 for the one pair of shoes. Can you believe it's $75 for a pair? I'm not paying that, don't take me to them. Okay, cool, you don't like them all. Where do you want to go? Got to answer that. Where do you want to go? Clarity. After we get clarity, we got to calibrate. Calibration is about feeding it to your nervous system, feeding it to your nervous system. You can— that's where we talk about affirmations. That's what we talk about journaling, scripting. My favorite tool to use for calibration is hypnosis, but it's getting my nervous system to feel like it's familiar. Your subconscious mind pushes things away that are unfamiliar. If you saying, hey, I want more money, but more money is unfamiliar, every time you find yourself in a situation with more money, you're gonna shrink, you're gonna sabotage, you're gonna find a way to screw it up. You got to make the idea of more money familiar to your subconscious mind. That's what we call calibration— exposing yourself to it over and over and over again. Lady in here said a minute ago, just being in this room and hearing this conversation, I'm already starting to feel better. That's because you're being calibrated. We're calibrating you towards what you want. So we keep calibrating, keep calibrating, keep calibrating until we accidentally hit the third C, which is confidence. Confidence isn't something you force. Confidence is what happens if you just keep calibrating. You get clear about what you want, you start calibrating what you want, and you keep calibrating until you accidentally become confident. And when you're clear, calibrated, and confident, that's what I call the foundation of success.
