Think It Be It

In this episode, John and Kelly talk about the idea that there is a human energy crisis. Created by negative self talk and self-inflicted stress. This topic comes from the best-selling author Jon Gordon. Who is the Godfather of positivity and has an organization called Positivity U. As the mental coach for the University of Texas 18 head coaches, John shared this content from Jon Gordon with them. And one of the things that Jon Gordon said that was powerful was that people need to evaluate their thoughts. And examine if their thoughts are true or not true. Often times negative thoughts are not true. And Gordon has a great line. You don’t hang out with liars, so don’t let lies hang out in your head. That’s powerful. But during the conversation, John pointed out something that in his opinion the entire mindset industry misses. So many people in the mindset field have this strategy or that strategy. Just like evaluating whether your thoughts are true or not three true. But they’re missing a very fundamental point. 95% of a person’s daily thoughts and actions are unconscious. And you can only influence the unconscious with repetition. It doesn’t care about logic. And the point of sharing this is that when you tell people to have this strategy or that strategy, inevitably it goes in one ear and out the other. All you’re affecting is his or her intention. The only thing that will actually work is rewiring one’s autopilot with repetition. So if you want to evaluate your thoughts as to whether they are true or not, you’ve got to feed that to your subconscious on a daily basis. Only that repetition will drive it home. Otherwise, in one ear and out the other. To finish up this episode John and Kelly point out that the life you experience and the success you have is determined by the ongoing thoughts going on in your head. And the irony of human nature is that only 2% of people do anything to impact their mindset. And that’s John and Kelly’s mission to overcome that dichotomy.

About the Hosts:

John Mitchell

John’s story is pretty amazing. After spending 20 years as an entrepreneur, John was 50 years old but wasn’t as successful as he thought he should be. To rectify that, he decided to find the “top book in the world” on SUCCESS and apply that book literally Word for Word to his life. That Book is Think & Grow Rich. The book says there’s a SECRET for success, but the author only gives you half the secret. John figured out the full secret and a 12 minute a day technique to apply it.

When John applied his 12 minute a day technique to his life, he saw his yearly income go to over $5 million a year, after 20 years of $200k - 300k per year. The 25 times increase happened because John LEVERAGED himself by applying science to his life.

His daily technique works because it focuses you ONLY on what moves the needle, triples your discipline, and consistently generates new business ideas every week. This happens because of 3 key aspects of the leveraging process.

John’s technique was profiled on the cover of Time Magazine. He teaches it at the University of Texas’ McCombs School of Business, which is one the TOP 5 business schools in the country. He is also the “mental coach” for the head athletic coaches at the University of Texas as well.
