3 Valuable Steps to Help You Develop the Mindset of a Millionaire - John Assaraf

Hey there. Good morning. Hope you're doing great Today. We're talking about three valuable steps you can take to help develop the mindset of a millionaire. Hopefully the lifestyle that goes with it. Let me just make sure you can hear me and see me. I did a little test yesterday. Since last week's achieve even more show wasn't happening, something was going on with Facebook. It seems like today it's working. As soon as you join, just say, hey, John, this is. Tell me your name, where you're from, what do you do? I've got some show notes for you that I want to make sure I get covered today. And I'll start off as soon as a bunch of people start joining us, we'll have a little bit fun. So tell me who you are, where you're from and why are you here? Let me just see Bodon. Hello there. We're all good, thank you. Is telling me that we are all good. Cheryl, good morning. Good morning. Hey there, Bohdan. Good video. It's beautiful here. Sunny San Diego. Just came from the gym. Working out, having a good time. So is it possible to develop the mindset of a millionaire before you're actually a millionaire? And a lot of people, you know, think that you've got to become a millionaire first in order to have the mindset of a millionaire? And I always like to suggest, well, you. Is it possible to develop the mindset of a millionaire first and then become a millionaire? So let me know, what do you think? I've got my reading sunglasses on so I could see here. Hey there, Abigail. Cheryl Bodin. Debbie. Hello there, Alaska. Deb checking in. All right. So you see, yeah, the. We've got a fog here. That's the marine layer that's always here early in the morning. Many years ago when I was, let me see, 20, 22 years old, I met a gentleman by the name of Walter Schneider. And Walter used to be, or still is actually the owner of ReMax franchises in the eastern part of Canada. And he was one of the first people to take ReMax outside of Denver. He started to franchise it in Canada and my office was upstairs in a real estate office building and his office was down below and he and I became friends. There's probably about a, I know, seven or eight year age difference between us and at the time, you know, he was around 30 years old or thereabouts and he was making a lot of money and he was already a millionaire. And I used to go downstairs to his office where he'd be doing his work and we just sit and chit chat. And I would ask him, I said, you know, what do you do to make all the money that you make and to live the lifestyle of your dreams? And he said, well, one of the things that I have in my mind is how can I become a millionaire? How can I live the lifestyle of a millionaire? And I asked him, and this going back 38 or so years, I asked him, you know, was your father a millionaire, your mother a millionaire, your family? He said, no. He says, but I always wanted to become a millionaire because I want to live the lifestyle of a millionaire. And I asked him, is it possible to help me become a millionaire? And he said, of course it's possible. He says, but you have to start thinking, thinking like a millionaire would start thinking. And I said to him, I said, there's nobody in my family that's a millionaire. The only millionaires that I'm aware of are the ones on TV on the Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. And he said, well, there's a certain way that millionaires think. He said, there's a certain way that millionaires behave. Said there's a certain group of things that millionaires do to make money, to manage their money, to invest their money that most people just don't follow, you know, their patterns for becoming and then maintaining being a millionaire. And so I asked him if he would teach me. And as many of you know, you know, my first mentor was Alan Brown and Allen Brown was, you know, a multimillionaire as well. But my second mentor that I haven't talked a lot about was Walter Schneider. And he used business as his way to become a millionaire. And so I've got a few notes that I want to share with you for us to be able to have a little bit of fun. All right, let me say hello to a few of you and then I'll. I'll continue. Does this make sense to you? By the way, for those of you who just joined, let me say hi to Laura. You can actually come back here, Laura, later and watch this because it'll be in the feed. Abigail and Jonathan Gibson. Ozzy. Hello. Fabian. Hello, Bess. I thought it was 9am PST. It is 9am PST. Beth, Susie. Hello there. Thank you so much. Valentino. Hello from New York. Ray. Hello. Marcus. Hello. Okay, so. So let's talk about a couple things. You know, I'm curious if somebody dropped a million dollars into your bank account this afternoon or today or tonight, depending where you live in the world. What's the first thing that you would do. Can you do me a favor? Type that in. What's the first thing that you would do if somebody just took $1 million? Put it into your bank account. Just tell me one thing that you would do. I'm more curious than anything else. All right, if you like this topic, hit the like and the love button as well. So I can see, I can see all those little love buttons filtering up on, on my screen. And I like those. And hi there, Vicki. Hi there, Valerie, Barbara. Hello from Italy. Hello, Mr. Kent. Davis, Mahesh, Hello. Good morning. So, so let me, let me take my show notes, right? Pros always prepare. And so the first thing we want to talk about, or I like to talk about when we talk about, you know, becoming a millionaire, having either, you know, a million dollars in cash or a million dollars in assets, whether it's in real estate or the stock market or your business valuation, you can become a millionaire in either. Either way is first, you know, if we think about or we go to your beliefs about is it possible to become a millionaire? And the reason I start off with do you believe that it's possible to become a millionaire? The second question, question for you is, do you think and feel that it's possible for you? See, the way that our brain works, right, Is if you believe that it's possible and you believe it's possible for you, then that actually opens up the neural networks of possibilities. Now, when you think it's possible and you believe it's possible for you, and you ask yourself this question, how can I make becoming a millionaire my new reality? So instead of the reality that you have right now, if you're not a millionaire, most people are not. And that's okay. If you start to ask yourself better questions of how can I become a millionaire in the next year or three years or five years, how can I? And you set out on a quest to answer that. I always like to use questions as a form to get the bio computer to work really, really well. And so if you ask of how can I become a millionaire? And you write down the answers to, well, I can become a millionaire by building a business. I can become a millionaire by investing in real estate or in, in the stock market or in gold or in coins or in baseball cards, I can become a millionaire by finding a product or a service that I love and helping 10 or 100 or a million people know about this product or service and help them buy it. I. I can become a millionaire, okay, by writing a book. I can't become A millionaire by traveling and writing about my travels. Oops, just had a little wind blowing. Almost blew my notes away. So as soon as we ask ourself a question of how can we. And we write down all of the options of here's how I could, if I chose to or wanted to, we're actually activating the left prefrontal cortex in the brain, which is what I call the Einstein part of the brain, which can also help you understand, well, what would I need to do in order to achieve that? To do that, what knowledge would I need? What skills would I need? Whose help would I need? What would I need to learn? What would I need to believe? What habits would I need to give up? What habits would I need to start? You see, the idea of becoming a millionaire is actually not a foreign idea. As soon as you start thinking about, you know, becoming a millionaire and then asking yourself all of those questions that I just posed, then you can start to open up. Like I said, that left prefrontal cortex. When you take those answers and you say, okay, here's what I need to learn, here's the coaching I need, the guidance I need, the books I need, here's the path to achieving that. You're opening up your brain's neural networks and patterns. And many of you know who have watched my achieve even more show here Every Tuesday at 9:00am Pacific, 12:00 New York. Not sure what time that is in Italy or Norway or Alaska or Shanghai, but it is 9:00am Pacific Time. You'll know that everything that I teach my students, my clients, is about how do I use the most powerful bio computer in the known universe, your brain, to help you build constructive, empowering beliefs, habits, perspectives and behaviors. And how do you let go of the disempowering ones? Like I'm not enough. I'm not skilled enough. I'm too young, I'm too old, I'm too Asian or I'm too Caucasian. It's not the right time. I live in the wrong city, My city's too big, my city's too small. There's too much competition. I don't know how to do it. When you understand that everything that you do in here, your self talk, the emotions, the neurochemicals that are activated, the circuits that are activated, and the neurochemicals that are released in your brain that match your belief system, that match your set point points and expectation points in your brain. That's what drives behavior and results. So the first part of becoming a millionaire, developing the mindset of a Millionaire is learning how to think like a millionaire. Before you behave like a millionaire, you have to start thinking like a millionaire. And in this, you know, amazing world that we live in, this beautiful blue planet, planet Earth, with 7 and a half billion inhabitants, with about 103 billion people who have walked on Earth before us, all of the how to is the easiest part of your equation. All the how to is the easiest part of your equation. And my team is just wanting me to. To remind you I'm doing this. Hold on, let me get this right. Don't forget to remind them about the all new three Keys to Ultimate Freedom on Demand masterclass that I just filmed here in San Diego in order to create the lifestyle of freedom. If you want that access, let me share with you what I did and I'll come back to my other bullet points. I did a full masterclass to really understand the requirements to have ultimate freedom. There's three ultimate freedoms I talk about, and one is financial freedom, emotional freedom, and choice freedom. And how working on those three things gives you everything else you want. My team's going to put up a link for you. You can watch it on Demand. And the other thing I will share with you is I'm going to be choosing small group of people that I am going to mentor for 100 days, and it's by application only. And I'm going to teach them everything I have learned about making money, managing, investing, and having an abundance. So it's not for everybody, but if you want to watch the training and then apply to qualify, it might be for you. So that's a little sidebar, but let me come back to the notes. So when we talk about, you know, an abundance, you have to start with what is money? Right? Like, what is money? If we don't start with the fundamental understanding of what is money, then we miss the whole point because a lot of people think that money is hard to earn. Money is for, you know, the wealthy people, not the average people. And you know what? Wealthy people think that money is not hard to earn, that it is in abundance, but they also understand one of the laws or a few of the laws of money. And so let me share something with you that will give you the right framework. If you go back in time to, you know, before we had money, you know, people lived in small little tribes and, you know, they. They went out and they hunted, they gathered, they fished, they ate, they took care of themselves. They. They created whatever they needed to sustain themselves. And then as tribes separated, all right, and one tribe went you know, 10 miles downstream, and one tribe went, you know, five miles inland. Each tribe got really good at doing different things. So, you know, some foundation herbs, some were good fishermen, some were good hunters, some were good gatherers to pick berries or fruits. And they exchanged a little bit of this for a little bit of that. So in the earliest forms of money, okay, it was actually shells, chocolates, livestock, and work. And so we exchanged this for that. So money only came later, when tribes started to move further and further away into little villages. That's when a monetary system started to be created. And before we knew it, we had coins that represented money and then bills and then electronic means. So I'm giving you the shortcut to what money is. So what if you, for just a moment said, okay, forget this, you know, elusive idea around money. What if money is just a means of exchange? What if, you know, you need this little cord to connect your headphones to your computer, and what if somebody else needs, you know, a different set of shades? Which ones do you prefer, by the way? This one or the Rahu one? These are my, like, gold frames for very, very slightly it is, but I can't see really well the screen. I'm going to put this one back on. So the case for the glasses, you know, the brain that's over here, the desk that I'm standing at, all of these products or services that people have, they trade for money, right? So money is nothing more than a means of exchange. So what if your job to develop the mindset of a millionaire is first to believe that there's more than enough money for you in your local town, regionally, nationally and internationally? What if that was the first belief that you developed, there's more than enough. And then the very next thing that you do is you think about, how can I trade my value, my product, my. My service, my knowledge, my skill, my time with enough people to generate the amount of income that would help me become a millionaire or to have at least a million dollars? What if you invested some time to figure out, how do I become more valuable in the marketplace? Because if it's the marketplace, that is where we exchange, okay, money for products, services, etc. Then the marketplace is what determines the value of things. Would you agree with that? The marketplace what? The marketplace is what determines the value of things. And so I learned back, you know, from, you know, my. My second mentor, right, is that if you have a problem, product or service, knowledge that people want and need, and your product or service or knowledge or whatever it is, had value in the marketplace, the more rare you are, the more people are prepared to pay for that product or services. You know, you can buy, you know, a pen for a dollar, but somebody would pay $500 for a pen if they are dying and they need a pen for their last will and testament, right? So the point that I want to make is, number one, there's an abundance of money out there. And your job is to figure out, how do I get really good at whether it's real estate, buying it, renovating it, selling it, or keeping it, and investing, how do I get really good, good at any type of product or service so that I can exchange it with enough people in the marketplace. Now, if you're in business, you have to get good at marketing and at selling. You know, if you have a product or service and you're not good at marketing and selling, you have to get good at finding people who are that can help you. So when you understand that there's more than enough and your job is to offer value in the marketplace that the marketplace wants to exchange with you, it doesn't matter, you know, if you're investing in stocks and you get good at that or you have somebody else invest for you, it doesn't matter. If you want to build a business, it doesn't matter, you know, if, you know, you have a job and you want to have a side business to earn extra money. When you start thinking outside of your proverbial box and you start thinking, how can I earn 2 or 3 or 4x, you know, the income that I'm earning right now, that's when you start to open up the world of possibilities. And I want you to be aware of this. The way that yours and my brain works, right, is there's a part of our brain that we can choose what it is that we want to do. We can choose, you know, how much income we want to make. We can choose the lifestyle that we want to live. But that's not the part of your brain that's working 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It's your subconscious part of your brain, which many of you have heard me talk about for, you know, for 20, 30 years. That is the power center of the brain. And that's what I, you know, become, you know, I think pretty proficient at. When there's a disconnect between your self image and your income that you want to earn, your self image overrides your conscious desires to earn more money. So that leads me to the second point that I want to share with you today is you have to change, augment, modify, tweak your current self image, which has you earning and living a certain, certain lifestyle right now. You have to tweak that which is nothing more than creating new neural networks in your subconscious mind. You have to create coherence between becoming a millionaire and your subconscious patterns right now, which is not wired, programmed, conditioned to you being a millionaire. And we know that 90, 98%, 97%, 95% way, way up there of your thoughts, emotions, feelings and behaviors are percolating as a result of your subconscious self image, your subconscious beliefs, your subconscious set points. And so in order to become a millionaire, you have to create a subconscious pattern that matches the conscious goals and desires that you want to have. And when you do that, that's when you start to create brain or neural coherence. That's when you start to think more like a millionaire. That's when you start to ask better questions. That's when you start to behave more like a millionaire. So before I continue, let me just see some of your comments. Does this make sense? All right, so understanding money is key number one. But understanding your self image and how that's driving your behaviors and the beliefs that support your self image and your identity, that's where most of the work. Okay. Needs to go. It's not in the setting of the goal, which is a conscious exercise anybody can do. It's in creating the same subconscious alignment to match the goal. So everybody's heard you have a conscious brain, a subconscious brain, but very few people take the time, okay, to focus on creating subconscious and conscious coherence and integration. If this makes sense, tell me in a couple of notes. All right? And then I'm going to get into, you know, key number three for today. And again, for those of you who want to watch a little video training that I just did on Three Keys to Ultimate Freedom. It's an on demand masterclass. My team has set up a link there. You're going to go a little bit deeper into some thinking that I have and some, some strategies and tactics. And if you'd like to be considered for my upcoming web 100 days to financial Success mentoring, then apply and we'll see if it's right for you. I'd like to make sure that what I have to offer, there's a direct match for the right students at the right time. All right, so let me just see your comments. I'm going to lean in because my computer is a little bit far. I want you to have a nice, nice view of a little bit of this beautiful ocean is there, but today the ocean is covered by a little, a little fog this morning, a little early morning fog. So let's see, does that make sense? So, Susie, Debbie, Adam. Okay, awesome. So the link will be put up again, but you can also scroll up and see the link. CHERYL okay, Aaron, a great question. How do you get your conscious and subconscious to align? So there's a variety of different ways to access the subconscious mind in a brain wave state of beta, which is what most people's brain waves are at right now. This is a good alert awake state. And there is a hypnogogic state, which is just when you wake up in the morning and just before you go to sleep. That's a hypnagogic state where you're kind of half asleep and half awake, where you're not just totally, you know, running all the cylinders and the circuits of your brain, but also when you go into a light meditative state and you start to visualize or use mental contrasting or use affirmations or declarations, or use subliminal messages, that is where you can actually bypass the conscious mind and activate the subconscious mind, or not activate, but access the subconscious mind. So through a series of inner sizes, and many of you already have my best selling book, New Science, to unlock your brain's hidden power. Through a series of daily inner sizes, you can create a new self image, you can create new beliefs, you can develop new habits, you can develop new identity, you can develop a new story. Now, the thing that I want to just make all of you aware of, and many of you that are my students, you know, understand this, I want you to imagine that you're out of shape. Okay, let's say you're out of shape and your, your legs are out of shape and your abdomen's out of shape and your biceps or shoulders or back or your buttocks are out of shape. Okay? And you just really haven't paid much attention to exercising, strengthening your muscles. So let's say that's you. What would you do to get back in shape? Well, first you'd say, okay, you know, what's my goal? Well, my goal is to get in shape. In order to get in shape, I need to lose 20 or 30 pounds. I need to, to, you know, walk a little bit, I need to do a little bit of weights and I need to, you know, eat better and eliminate some foods and start eating other foods. Let's say that was as simple as that. Now how long would it take you to develop a new pattern so that that becomes your new normal. Would you be in shape in 1 week, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks? And the answer is it depends. However, when we're talking about the brain, when we're talking about letting go of an old self image, letting go of beliefs that you've had for 20, 30, 40, 50 years, letting go of an old money story, letting go of an old identity. And by old I just mean the one that you've been carrying around for so long. It takes at least 100 days of inner work or inner size to re pattern the subconscious mind so that it creates the new neural networks that override the old networks. Your neural networks around your beliefs, your habits, your perspectives, your identity and your behaviors. So what I've discovered is most people don't want to invest 100 days or 200 days or 300 days. They want to take some pill or potion to do it as quickly as possible. Well, you can do things quickly, but not quicker than it takes your brain to create the new neural networks. Not any quicker than it takes to atrophy the networks that run your life every single moment of every day. So in order to achieve the success that you want, then I recommend that you at least commit to 100 days. But more preferably, you know, 180 days, 365 days as your baseline to develop the neuro muscles required in order to achieve your goals and dreams. See once you develop them, they become part of something known as the default mode network. And when it's part of your default mode network, that's the default way for you to be alright. So before it's too late, does this make sense? And again, if you want to go a little bit deeper and get some additional training in my masterclass, my team just put up a link I just saw. I'm going to share with you some of the questions I asked you earlier. If you ask yourself this question. In order for me to become a millionaire, write this down. In order for me to become a millionaire, if you like this, hit the like or the love button. Please share this. In order for me to become a millionaire, write this question down. What must I learn? That's number one. In order for me to become a millionaire, what skills must I upgrade? In order for me me to become a millionaire, what beliefs and habits must I develop? And what beliefs and habits must I let go of? Then here is a critical question and this is, I think, what helped me more than anything else. When I was 19, I had my first mentor. When I was 23. I had my second two mentors and I've had mentors ever since. And now I get the privilege of mentoring many, many people who can help me do this faster. Who can help me do this faster. And if you can start with those questions, all right, then guess what? You'll be on your way on a path to becoming a millionaire. Now why do I like to teach people how to become a millionaire? Well, number one, because of who you will become as that person who you can help by having that financial and choice freedom. How you will feel will affect your spouse, significant other, your children, your neighborhood, the stores you shop at. When you have financial freedom and financial abilities, there's so much more you could do. Money is just a tool. Now here's what I've discovered. If you're an asshole, you become a bigger asshole when you are a millionaire. And if you're kind and caring and compassionate, empathetic, you become more kind, more caring, more empathetic and you do more good in the world. So I only want to help, you know, the ones who want to earn more money so that they can do more good for their families, their neighborhoods, their communities and the world. If you're an a hole, I don't want to teach you how to earn more money. I'm sorry, but nobody here is so. But I want to let you know that a lot of times people say, you know, money is the root of all evil because they heard that sometime when they were growing up. Well, that's a quote from the Bible, but it doesn't say that in the Bible says the love of money is the root of all evil. I want you to love money. I want you to love people and use money for greater good. Okay, if you enjoyed this, hit the share button. If you want to go deeper with the three keys to ultimate freedom and on demand training that I did, that'll also give you the ability to see if you qualify to have me mentor you. I'm going to take a group of people over a hundred days to give them a quick start an accelerator program to go deeper with me. Let me know. That'll be great. Have an awesome day. Thank you for sharing this. Thank you, Cheryl. Thank you, Aaron. We this on a shirt? Yes. All right. Hey, Bob, Donald, how you doing, buddy? Hey there. Rick Callahan. All righty. And my wife is waving to me right now. Have an awesome day, everyone. I appreciate you. Thank you for sharing my work. Thanks for being my orbit and for giving the opportunity to serve you. Bye now from San Diego. See you next Tuesday. And check out that on demand training also.
