Think Like Elon Musk: The Mind Hacks That Build Billion-Dollar Empires

So you say that the minds of Sir Richard Branson, Elon Musk and Steve Jobs work differently from ours?

Yeah, absolutely. Stop to think about it. Their minds are always springing forth with all these creative ideas. Just boom, boom, boom, boom. Right? Go on their Wikipedia page, take a look. You'll be blown away. I mean, I so admire these guys. You look at what these guys have accomplished, creative projects after creative projects, and it's never ending. They're always coming up with something new. So these guys minds work creatively. Now our minds, generally speaking, work a different way. We are presented with things and we process it and react to it. You know, at work, you're given job responsibilities, you react and you perform your job responsibilities. We're not really springing forth all these creative ideas all day long, all month long, our whole lives. That really doesn't happen to most people. So this is something I've studied and gotten into. And I want to free everyone's mind. I want to liberate everyone's mind. I want them to all have a mind like Sir Richard Branson.

So you're saying that our minds can work like Steve Jobs or Elon Musk?

Absolutely. Let me give you a little background, Wallace. So when we're born, let's start at the beginning. When we are born, we enter into the world of consciousness. This way we mimic, we mimic our parents, we mimic our older siblings. Then we start mimicking the world around us. Right? That's what we do. And then as we grow up, we continue this following modality. See, we start off in this following modality, but then we continue it. When we're toddlers, our parents tell us what to do and we do it. When we go to school, our teachers tell us what to do and we do it. When we get into a religion, the religion tells us what to do, we do it. So this sort of following modality follows us as we grow up. When you get a job, your boss tells you what to do and you do it. If you serve in the military, your superiors tell you what to do and you do it. So there is this following modality where you have external authorities in your lives telling you what to do. And you're a good person, so you oblige. You want to do good, you want to behave, you want to do what's right, so you follow. And that's the mentality that we grow up with. And we tend never to break from that. You know, it's just like everything in life, you tend to continue what you learn young in life, you Tend to carry that forth throughout your whole life. That's what happens to our minds. We're stuck in this following modality all our lives now. Sir Richard Branson, Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Henry Ford, all the super achievers in life, they broke out of that following modality. They became creative. They developed a self leader modality, a creative modality. And this is what I teach you. I've studied this all my life. And now I teach you how to break free of the following modality and break into this other mindset, this liberating creative mindset.

So tell us some of those mind liberating techniques.

Absolutely, I'd love to. In studying the many, many superachievers in our world, I noticed five strong characteristics of their mind. One, they are incredible with time management. Think about it, you look at their Wikipedia page and see how much they have achieved and how much they are achieving. Imagine their time management skills. Two, they all have the ability to have these amazing visions. They can see out there into the future and then they can turn those into reality. Three, they all have unending curiosity. They turn up so much more in their lives to present in front of them through curiosity than our minds, the ordinary minds, will ever do in our lifetime. But they, with their curiosity, turn up all these options on a regular basis. Four, they're all driven by purpose. They all have a strong purpose in their life. Remember the late great Steve Jobs used to say, I want to put a dent in the universe. They're driven. They have something underneath driving them, motivating them, and it's having a purpose in life. And number five, perhaps most importantly, and perhaps the root cause of all of this is they all really love what they are doing, plain and simple.

So let's go through the five.

All right, let's start with time management. Over the years I've developed what many people consider the greatest time management tool of all time. Simply what I did was I took the powerful advancement of humankind, of humanity, which was the division of labor that caused the Industrial revolution, that rapidly raised the standard of living of humankind. The division of labor simply, that means instead of like one person, one family, living out on the prairie.

Farming their own food, making their own tools, sewing their own clothes, the division of labor started breaking that down into individual jobs. The garment maker, the blacksmith, the farmer. And that really increased the standard of living of humankind. Then when you brought that into say, manufacturing. Let's go to a specific example. On December 1, 1913, the Ford Motor Company started the first moving assembly line in their plant. Now, up until then, they built the car sort of like the House on the Prairie. They'd do everything. They'd carry over, lock in the seat, and they, all of them would gather around and put in the steering wheel and put that. And then they put the windshield on, and then they would, you know, put the chassis in and then the wheels. And then they'd tighten up the bolts on the wheels. And that's how they made a car. Henry Ford changed that car building process to a moving assembly line where each person handled one physical movement. You know, the guy just driving in the. Or tightening the bolts or driving the. Tightening the bolts on the wheels. One guy just doing the steering wheel as when they first started. Horses pulled the car along as each man did his. His physical movement. So he broke car manufacturing down the physical movements. On that first day, they increased the productivity of creating cars or making cars, manufacturing cars.

Eightfold. Eightfold. So I took this whole process, the division of labor, and I said, well, these guys, me, I'm manufacturing success, right? Just like Ford Motor company is manufacturing cars. I'm manufacturing my company, I'm manufacturing my success. So I said, let me do the same thing myself. And I did this, you know, decades ago, and I said, let's break everything I do down into physical movements and see what happens. Just like December 1, 1913. The first day I did that, my productivity went Eightfold. Just like Ford Motor company. It was. It was uncanny.

Now, up until then, I'd been reading all sorts of time management books, and I'd be exerting extreme disciplines to get one extra hour a day in my job at work. And it just wasn't worth the discipline. It just wasn't worth it. Suddenly I had 64 hours a day. I could do in one day what I used to do in eight days. In fact, every Tuesday afternoon, I was all done with my week's worth of work. And usually it was a Monday afternoon when I was done. So what happened there? It left my mind completely open to creative thought. You see, being busy is what blocks us from the mind. We're supposed to have this creative mind that Sir Richard Branson has or Elon Musk has. Being busy all day blocks that I named it the many day system. The many days. I broke that my day down in these physical movements. And I called each one a mini m I n I a mini day. And the deadline pressures just upped my. Everything just up. The speed and efficiency of getting things done. You know, it's like you go all semester and it's that last night before final test where you really learn everything because you have that deadline pressure. So you have these deadline pressures, you have these physical movements. Making a phone call back in the day when I do this, writing a letter back in the day, now it's emails, doing accounting, whatever it was. I, I would put that into its own mini day, physical movements. I would be done with my work the latest by Tuesday afternoon, usually by Monday, Monday afternoon or evening. Then I had the rest of the week for my mind to just start becoming creative. That was my baby step, my first step into getting a mind like Sir Richard Branson, a creative mind. And for the first time, instead of just having that following mind we grew up with, I started to have a creative mind. So that was time management. Now visions, remember there's five. Number two is visions. When I had four days, three to four days left over.

What happened? I started having visions of things I wanted to do. Like a big vision I had in the publishing company I worked for was I wanted to mail.

A lot of our literature from the UK into the United States. There's a particular reason why I wanted this program to come from the UK into the United States. Now remember, up until then, I'm just basically a writer, secretary. I'm just trying to keep up with my work. Now I started thinking creatively. I had a vision. So these great thinkers, these super achievers, they have visions like this. I had 23 visions. Before I knew it. I'm just going to cover one for time's sake here. But one of them was this project which could make our company a lot of money by mailing our literature from the UK into the United States. So I thought, all right, I have this vision. Now what do I do with it? Now remember over here I have this incredible mini day system. Now I would look at my vision and I would start at the very end of the vision. A container of our literature being loaded into a ship to sail across the ocean to come to America. So I'm looking at this and I say, okay, what are the steps to get there? I started at the step at the end because that's what my vision is of that container being loaded into the ship. So then I started thinking from that end and going back to the present. So I started out in the future. I'm reaching out into the future here. And I say, well, I need to meet with the Postmaster General or his equivalent of the on post. That's the Irish Post Office. So I had that as a step that I needed to Do. Then I started thinking of the printers and the book printers that I needed to meet with in the uk, particularly in England. So that was a step. Then I started thinking of the shipping from the, from the book printers to the destination point where it's going to be loaded onto containers. So that was a step and I just continued to do that, working my steps backwards all the way to the beginning of what I needed to do. The first step. Then I went further. I looked at those steps and I said, let me break them all down to tasks. What kind of tasks?

Physical movement.

Physical task. Physical. Physical movements. Phone calls, the letter writing. Today be emails.

Meetings.

Yeah, the meetings. These are physical movements. These are physical tasks. So I broke everything down, all those steps down into these physical tasks. And then what I have sitting on here, on the back end, your many days. My many day system. And I just start putting those tasks into my physical movements. My many days. Now remember, I moved through with eight times the efficiency. So suddenly I'm over in Ireland meeting with the on post because I've got this whole thing done. This is something I would probably never even have achieved or reached or even thought of because I was too busy to think creatively. I was too damn busy being a writer secretary to actually think creatively. So here I am meeting with John Fitzpatrick. Back in the day, he was like the Postmaster General of the Irish on post, working out a deal with him. So that very quickly became a reality. Imagine what I did to this publishing company. Imagine what that meant to me. I quickly got a promotion and started rising up in this publishing company to the top. Now that's just one example. I had 23 projects of this sort and that was through what I call power thinking. Power thinking is basically visions. You think out into the future, then you work backwards through steps, then you break them down into physical tasks and you just plug them in. You just yank the future down the quick action reality right here, right now and get those things done. Now I'm entering the territory of Sir Richard Branson. You see how this works? That's two. We got three more to go here.

So is that 23 projects at once?

Yes, in one week all of them were in motion. 23 projects. These are projects, Wallace, I wouldn't even thought about before. They may have never entered my job. I was just too busy, remember, I was too busy to think creatively, number one. And number two.

Now I'm entering in the world of building wealth for the company. Can you imagine what that means? That opens up doors all over the place. Not only in the company I'm in, but other companies wanting to bird dog me out of that company because I'm so, you know, one of the top copywriters of all time. Gary Halbert tried to bird dog me out of my company because I had become so effective and so powerful in building rapidly the company I was working for at the time. So, yes, imagine the doors that opens for you. So, so far I've only covered time management and visions. Got three more to go.

So that kind of sounds like you're just. It's almost like you're creating wealth out of thin air.

That's really what it comes across. And you won't believe how quickly you'll take over a company following my techniques.

I'm starting to feel a difference here.

Are you feeling it?

Yeah.

Are you feeling it? Some people get goosebumps at this point. And we're just beginning here.

We covered a lot, but we are only 2/5 of the way done. So time management, visions, and then what's the third one? Third.

Third one is curiosity. Right, Curiosity. Now let's explore curiosity. These guys, these super achievers, all of them. I mean, I'm not just talking about these three, I'm talking about all. I studied hundreds of them. Wallace. The curiosity in these guys minds is just different than ours. It's just a big distinguishing factor. It is the dichotomy. It's the separation between them and us. Curiosity. These guys are curious like the child. Stop to think about it. A child learns how to talk. How in the world does a blank mind begin to learn and conceptualize and.

Achieve this momentous event of learning language and how to talk and concepts and putting those together in their little tiny heads? How do they do that? It's curiosity drives them. These guys never lost that curiosity. I look at all of these superachievers and I get a very emotional feeling. I say I am looking at the child of the past. And these people, the child of the past, they never lost that. Just look at Sir Richard Branson's face, how happy he is. Just always smiling, beaming. He's living like we did in our youths. We all lost that. We aren't beaming and happy and glowing. We're just not. We're stressed out. We have our stagnant routine. Ruts we have to deal with every day. We're bored, right? I'm speaking about millions of people who I help break out of that. But these super achievers, they're glowing, they're smiling. They have the child of the past and they're very, very curious, and they upend things that we don't. Curiosity is perhaps their greatest asset.

You said these guys never lost it. What about the people who did lose it? Can they get it back?

Yes, they can. And I'm gonna. Let me tell you right now how to get it back, okay? What I do, when people come to me and they want to go through this process, by the way, that's my brand. That is my brand. You hear a lot of things that you should be doing out there, but. But not always the process of how to go about and do all these things. I give you the process. Now, here's what I tell you to do with curiosity. I say go to your place of work, wherever that is, and I want you to do something I call Project Curiosity. Now, how that works is when you go to work now, you just. So many people, millions of people, just sort of begrudgingly do their tasks that they're given. The boss gives me, I have to do this. And then they wake up and they hit silent on their alarm clock six times before they finally get out of bed, right? Or snooze. I guess it is snooze, right? I never use an alarm clock, so I don't know. I guess it's snooze, right? You hit snooze, and you don't want to get out of. You don't want to go to work, right? So you go to work and everything's just monotonous, boring, stagnant, doing the same stagnant routine rut every day, all right? Now, what I want you to do, I want you to change that. I want you to go to work, and I want you to get the child of the past back in you, and I want you to do what I call Project Curiosity. Even if at first this is not easy to do, you'll be surprised how that will change as you go through Project Curiosity. I want you to go to work, and I want you to start learning everything you can about this company. I want you to get curious about what everyone does, about what your co workers do. I want you to ask them questions. And once you ask them questions, show an interest. They're going to love that because no one takes an interest in them. And suddenly you do. Suddenly you're building your leadership role, too.

You show them your gratitude for the great work they do and thank them for teaching you that you never knew everything that they did and admire them for what they do. And any way you can study your company, if it's a Multi generational company. Find out the people and what they did. And you know, my father worked for dupont and he would learn everyone's role in dupont, the history of dupont, a major family business and how it grew. And that's what started me understanding about Project Curiosity because I just became extremely curious about DuPont and the history of DuPont. So that's a big company. If you're in a small company, learn everything about it. Find out how the owner or why he started, what he did, what he went through. You talk to him. People are flattered. They love to talk about themselves and about their accomplishments. So let them talk about it. Project Curiosity. Now the most amazing thing happens when you're in Project Curiosity for the first time. You begin to really learn everything about the business and some things will start showing themselves to you that you never knew existed. And that's going to move us into.

Purpose.

These great super achievers have powerful purpose. And I'm taking the ordinary person into the realm of gaining purpose in their lives. Now here is how this and curiosity will play a big role in this, as you'll see. Here's how I.

Bring purpose to the ordinary Joe's life. I want to explain something here that you get your purpose through business. And here's why.

Your essence as a human being, different than all other animals on the planet. Essence comes down to your survival mechanism. And the way human beings have survived is through value creation, where the only, only thing in the known universe that can actually create values. No one else can create a table. No other animal. Human beings can create a table. Human beings can create electronics. Human beings can create value. That's our essence. That's our essence. And when you get in harmony with your essence, when you begin creating values, your life goes to a whole new level. Remember these guys, these Sir Richard Branson's, these Elon Musk? They are value creators. They're excited, they're curious, they're having fun, they're doing what they love, which we'll get into in a moment. So they're value create. So this is how you get purpose in your life. You don't get purpose in your life until you're on your essence. So your job offers you the opportunity to get purpose in your life. Let me just step back for a moment. We talk about purpose. I said, Steve Jobs famously said, I want to put a dent in the universe. He was driven by that purpose of making a difference.

Elon Musk wants to populate Mars. That drives that man with SpaceX and it drives him.

Sir Richard Branson lives on Necker island and he's figured out how to make the whole thing work with planetary conservation.

He's learning techniques to reduce our carbon footprint. That's one. And people have more than one. These guys have more than one purpose. But these are purpose purposes that I just mentioned. And they're driven and motivated by purpose. They have a purpose to their life. They're not just doing life, they're performing life. They're performing their purpose in life. Now, one of the highest, if not the highest.

Number of jobs in America are retail clerks and fast food clerks. So Wallace, if you go up to a.

Counter clerk at McDonald's and say.

Joe, what's your purpose in life? Well, his answer is going to be very different than Sir Richard Branson's answer. Right? You just know, because we have two different minds, two different mentalities. This is what I'm bringing to this is what I'm bringing to people out there, that there are two different mentalities. And I'm going to bring you into this other mentality, which by the way, I've named the Neo Think mentality. All these guys, all the super achievers, all are in the Noo think mentality versus the following modality, the following mentality. Okay? So they're going to have two different answers, very different answers. In fact, the guy at McDonald's might say, huh, what? You know, he's a 50 year old counter clerk to me. What, what do you mean? What's my purpose? You know, that could be an answer like that. I'm not knocking the job, you know, it's fine. But do they have purpose which they're driving forward with, motivating them? Not necessarily. Definitely not like Steve Jobs had. Now let me tell our listeners how to get purpose at work. Most jobs, millions and millions of jobs, they're broken down.

In a way that you don't go to work, you're going to work to a stagnant rut. You're not going to a job that has purpose. The reason for that identify that. The reason for that is the way the companies are structured. They're structured largely through massive delegation over the years. You handle this. I don't want to do this. You handle this. Okay, you guys handle. And they try to get some organization to it, like this department and that department. You have all these specialized jobs. When you do Project Curiosity, back to Project Curiosity, you begin to see areas in the business that can build wealth. That's the essence of business. Build wealth, build value and build wealth. That's the essence of business. Your essence is create values. Create values will build wealth. So you see how they marry up. So you look at most jobs today, and the way they were formed is actually wrong. They were not formed correctly. The structure of the company is weak. Even in your biggest companies, it's weak. I've developed a whole new structure of business called the division of Essence. Basically, the essence of business is to build value and wealth. And I divide business down. When I meet with people I can break their businesses down into. Every single job will have a piece of the company's essence. And what happens when you do that is your company is going to soar. I demonstrate how this will happen, because what you're doing now, you're tapping into the greatest superpower of the human mind, creativity. You are turning these people from followers into. Into Sir Richard Branson's in your company, that's what you're doing. When you break your company, you're structured down by what I call the division of essence. And I show you how to do this. And I have a Neo Think University where we show you how to do this. Your business will soar because you tap so much power and value that you never get any other way just by these delegated responsibilities and these stagnant job and these disgruntled employees. Right, yeah, these excited, enthusiastic employees with purpose.

Now, so you're saying basically every single employee in your company will build wealth and grow the company as opposed to just maintaining it?

Every single one. And do we have time to get into that? I don't think so on this podcast, but I teach this in the Neo Think University. But what I will tell you is this. When you are working for a company and you're in your stagnant rut, you go through Project Curiosity, as I explained, and you start seeing these areas that, hey, that could build. Just like I did. I said, well, if we mail from UK and think what that would do to this company. And I got 23 of those projects that I was working on that one week. So when you are in your company, you go through Project Curiosity. You'll start seeing those areas and. And then you'll say, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I want to take over a project or even an entire area, which I call an area of purpose. I also call it a mini company. Mini company. Why? Because you're running your own little company, in a sense, because you have all of the responsibilities together, which I'll get into in a moment, so you can think and be creative, just like the CEO of the company you work for. So here's how you do it. You see these areas and you say, okay, I want that, I want that. How do I get that? Well, the way you get it is you pull together the responsibilities that will make that happen. Now, remember the way I told you, businesses are improperly structured today. So when they just delegate as the company grows and they think they're doing the right thing, they think they're running really being organized by saying this department and that department, really, when you understand a division of essence, you see that and you kind of say, hmm, what a joke. But you go in and you say, okay, these responsibilities to do this money making project or this money making area of purpose, this mini company, those responsibilities have been split among 10, 20 different people.

That's what I call split responsibilities. And in the end, split responsibilities will kill a company because it makes it so inefficient with all of these responsibilities that information needs to come together at some point to make a move forward. So it will. It just becomes a bureaucratic, bureaucratic mess. In these big companies, you know, sometimes I'll have these hatchet men come in and chop a company from whatever 3,000 jobs down to 400 jobs. Those, that's what they're doing. They're doing what I'm describing here. They're restructuring them, they're getting rid of. And they don't know the terminology or necessarily why. But the reason is these responsibilities that need to come together to make this area of purpose function properly are split up between 10, 15 different people. So what I teach you to do is put a thread on a needle and you go, and you just tuck that needle around and all of those response split responsibilities, then you just yank it in and they all come together into what I call mentally integrating responsibilities. Those are the responsibilities that must be integrated in one mind, one head, to really work efficiently. And I give you all the techniques and tools how to do this. When you pull together area of purpose by pulling together the mentally integrating responsibilities of that purpose. Once you do that, and I show you how once you do that, suddenly you have purpose. Because suddenly you can activate your creative mind. You can begin to create values. And that's the essence of human beings creating values. Now you have purpose to life. Now you have. Now you are at the starting point where Sir Richard Branson might have been 30 years ago or 40 years ago. But you're there, baby, you're there. You're at the starting point. And then you can go from there. I give you how to go from there. That moves us into number five, right? Yeah, that moves us into number five.

So that's basically allowing you, no matter where you work, to be able to, I guess, live in harmony with your essence as a human being and, and create and build wealth and value.

That opens up your creative mind. It breaks you out of the following mode modality that really holds everyone back today. And I do get into that in the Neo Think University and in my literature. I get into in depth how that's occurred and how that links back thousands of years in human civilization. And I move us into this that these rare super achievers have enjoyed all their lives. Why shouldn't you enjoy that, Wallace? Why shouldn't everyone listening to us enjoy that too? Why does it just have to be these few people out there? Why can't everyone enjoy that? Look, I bypass all the government BS and I get into the real, true way of making the poor wealthy. It's all in the Neo Think University and my books. And now back to the naysayers that say, oh, yeah, right. How can I pull all these responses, 15 responsibilities together to do something like you did, to go out there and start this huge program out of Ireland? How could we do that? Well, listen, it's very simple. What's underneath every responsibility that we have? What's underneath every responsibility?

Details.

Absolutely. Nitty gritty, bitchy details. Right? You've got to go in and do these damn details. And that's what everyone hates. I'm telling you right now. I've seen it for decades. People I've taught to do this. They'll go in and they'll go up to after Project Curiosity. And now they know all the responsibilities in the company because they've gone through Project Curiosity and they can target and see the responsibilities they need to start their area of purpose. And they go up to these people and say, hey.

Look, I'll do this. They won't tell the responsibility necessarily. They'll tell you the nitty gritty, gritty detail. And every time people say, yeah, sure, take it because they're bitchy. They're not easy. Nitty gritty details are not fun. But once you start pulling them together into mentally integrating responsibilities, and it opens up your creative mind, breaks you away from that following mind. Wow. They're no longer a chore. They change, they metamorphize into the most glorious, enjoyable, exhilarating thing in your life. You can't wait to get to work now. Why? Because you're driven by purpose. You're driven by purpose. And that takes me to the final Characteristic that all super achievers throughout all history have and share. And that is number five here. Number five, doing what they truly love. Now, I want to talk about that for a minute. Remember what I told you my brand is earlier. You show the process, I show the process. So many success gurus tell you, find what you love, pursue what you love, but what happens, it goes into the impractical section in your brain, right? I can't do that. You know, it's impractical. And so three weeks after getting fired up at an event, a seminar, or what have you, you go back to your old stagnant routine rut. Nothing changes. But I give you the process now. I'm going to give you the process. I'm going to give the listeners the process right now to actually pull yourself out of what you're doing now into something you really love doing.

First, in the Neo Think University and in my literature, I show you how to truly find what you love. People can have infatuations, they can have fantasies, but to truly know what they love, sometimes they don't know, sometimes it's hidden. Maybe the child of the past has died within them. Maybe it's still alive. But what I call falling leaves of resignation have buried that child of the past and you don't even see it anymore. You can't recognize it.

So I have techniques in the Neo Think University and in my literature on how to resurrect the child of the past within you. That being said.

Once you see and know what you truly love and should pursue in life.

The key, the trick, is to be able to actually do it. Now, let's say you're the counter clerk at McDonald's and you don't want to rise up in McDonald's, you can, with my techniques, you can rise up, become a regional manager and even more, maybe even break out and start your own fast food at some point or start your own franchise, McDonald's, whatever. I do give you all the techniques to do that, but sometimes you just want to leave the income. Mini day, I call it that you're on your stagnant routine rut that you've been trapped in for a long time.

So you must identify, find what you truly love, which I teach you how to do that. Then here is the process. And I use a little story of one of my favorite authors, Jack London, who lived over 100 years ago. He wrote the Call of the Wild, the Sea Wolf, one of my favorite books. He wrote Martin Eden for a while. That was my favorite book.

A great action Author. So he grew up in a rough area of Oakland, California. He dropped out of school and he worked as a child in a grueling cannery 12 to 16 hours a day. This child, this kid working in a cannery.

He had this dream.

This is the child of the past had this dream of he wanted to be someday a professional writer. Now. So what are the odds of a poor boy in a rough neighborhood, dropped out of school, working in a cannery 12 to 16 hours a day to ever publish a piece of writing? I mean, millions to one, right? Millions to one. But Jack London became the highest paid author of all time during his day.

So how did he do this?

Jack had his dream.

And he had the insight, or I should say the foresight to realize basically the many day system. He broke his dream into four physical movements. Now I write about this, that most things that you go down to their fundamental. There's only three, four, five or six at the most fundamentals. Color is three primary colors and all the hues come from those mixture of those three colors. Shapes, same thing. I think there's just a few basic shapes. Many days are your physical movements. There's only a handful of fundamental physical movements. Jack London identified four to achieve his dream. Four fundamental movements to his dream. And those four were. Number one, an intense grammar study, tense grammar study. Number two was an immense reading program. Immense reading program. Number three was a self education program at the public library. Remember he had dropped out of school and number four was a robust writing program.

So he dedicated himself around his cannery and on his days off he dedicated himself to those four physical movements, those four many days. And lo and behold, his writing continued to improve. To improve, to improve. And then he published his first short story.

This pulled him out of the abyss. He was in the abyss in Oakland, California. And this process of this physical movements the many days placed around his income. Many day, I call it his stagnant routine. Ruth pulled him out of the abyss and he went on to become wildly popular writer, a celebrity and the highest paid writer of all time during his life. That's the process. So Wallace, I've given you a brief overview of the five main characteristics of the super achievers in life. We are taking you out of the following mode and we're moving you into the neo think mentality which by the way is a self leader mode. You're in a self leader modality. You're leading your life. You're in total control. My first solo book, Self Written Book Without Co Authors in 1984 was called Rapid power and wealth through iron grip control over everything that moves. And that was the many day power thinking system. That was 40 years ago my friend, 40 years ago and that works today. It's timeless. And that's the beginning of moving you up into a different mentality, the Neo Think mentality. And from there we go through the other three techniques here and I lift you from your stagnant routine rut into the mind of Sir Richard Branson.

So just to recap, the first one was time management.

Not just time management, the greatest time.

Management of all time, time management, which basically you can get your entire week's worth of work done in a day. Yes, in one or two days. From there you have number two, which was vision. Yes. And so you need to have that time to be able to look into the future, look at future wealth and bring it into reality today.

That's right. That time management frees your mind, liberates.

Your mind to allow you to have these visions of the future.

Without that, when you're too busy, you don't have visions.

And then the third characteristic is curiosity. All the super achievers throughout history have been very, very curious people. And it seems like there's also a correlation with the time management giving you time to think and have visions of future wealth and then also time to be curious more about that.

That's right. And curiosity, that's Project Curiosity, Wallace. It opens your mind to what you're working within your business so you can discover. We discover purpose.

Good. And then so number four is.

And so number four is the areas of purpose. Areas of purpose.

And you can't figure those out. You're forever blind. Your whole life, 10, 20, 30, 40 working years, you never knew what the purpose was. And your areas of purpose, the areas that can become their own mini companies, you never know what they are because you didn't go through Project Curiosity. Project Curiosity lets you understand your business, see all the responsibilities in the business. And once you see all that the then you begin to see, ah, there are those areas of purpose. And when you come into the Neo Think University, we work with you to break down, even if you're just working at some company, we break it down and allow you to go after your area of purpose. And how do they go after it?

Well you figure out what the nitty gritty details are and that, well first.

You figure out what the responsibilities are that make up that area of purpose. Then you run your needle through all of those and you yank them together and you do it by going after the Nitty gritty details that all of these people out there will say, fine, take it, I don't care.

And then, so doing that by creating purpose, which you identified was.

Purpose is related to action, is related to value creation. Because the essence of man, of human consciousness, is to create. And so creating and building values and wealth through an area of purpose in your business will give you purpose in life, right?

Because before you, you acquire an area of purpose, you have nowhere to create values. You have nowhere to get in harmony with your essence. That's why I pull it back to business, because that enables you to step over the threshold into the world of creativity. Once you pull together your area of purpose.

And then, so number five, then is.

Is what every success guru will ever.

Tell you to do, is to find.

What you love, right? But then how do you actually go through that and make that happen?

And so you kind of just outlined that with the previous ones, the many days.

Visions, curiosity and finding your areas of purpose.

And then you can pursue your area of purpose because you fall in love with it, or you can say, I'm done with this company. I don't like the politics I'm dealing with. I don't like the people. I don't like the backstabbing. Look, when you're in a company where there's not a lot of excitement, that's what fills the time, the void is a lot of business, politics, gossip, backstabbing and that. If you want to get away from all of that, then you go through my process of learning what it is you love, resurrecting the child of the past within you. And then you go through the very practical process to pull yourself away or out. I call it the abyss, right? That's what a lot of people feel about their job. They think it's a deep, dark abyss, right? Pull them. I use that term because Jack London used that a lot. So I'm working off that story of Jack London. So it pulls you out of that dark abyss into what you really love doing. Then you're happy, you're cheerful. You have that beaming Sir Richard Branson smile, right? That Tony Robbins smile, that Steve Jobs excitement and enthusiasm, right? That you have all of that going for you because you're actually doing what you love. It's not just some pipe dream or in the impractical section in your brain, you're actually living it.
