As a little background, John does a weekly program for the 18 head coaches at the University of Texas. And this week he’s teaching them how to up their game on using chat GPT. So here are some of the ways to do it. First of all, today chat GPT is probably the best AI program to use. Because it’s more advanced than the other programs regarding having a back and forth oral conversation. But you have to have the paid version which cost $20 a month.</p><p>But the first step up for using AI beyond asking a question or two or improving emails is to have ongoing conversations with it. As an example, John oftentimes has a problem he’s thinking about and on his drive home will have a back-and-forth conversation with chat GPT. And it will go on as long as John wants to talk. Another significant use is using chat GPT during thinking sessions. Either to answer your question or to factually get more information. A third use is giving AI a set of eyes. Using your camera. So chat can see what you see. Then you can ask it questions regarding what it sees.</p><p>Another use is creating a morning briefing. It’s tied to your emails and calendar. Get a morning briefing just like the president of the United States does. Further you may want to adjust the settings in AI. You can make it so it’s not so agreeable with everything you ask it. You can also use chat GPT to have an alter ego AI agents to play a particular role. Maybe have one agent that really challenges you hard on things.</p><p>Another idea is regarding your health. There is an AI program called open evidence that is available to medical practitioners. It is tuned in to all the medical research. You can ask your doctor to ask it to research something and then you can give it follow-up questions. Your medical provider should be agreeable to doing that. Further, you can get your AI program to do tasks for you. As an example you might want to set up a Google ad words campaign. It can do the whole thing for you. So the bottom line is today you are under using AI. For John and Kelly, it’s evolved into being their personal coaches and personal mentors. And it’s only going to get better.</p><p>Buy John’s book, <em>THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it</em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/MISSING-SECRET-Legendary-Think-12-minute-ebook/dp/B0DPQPB55B" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> here</a>.</p><p><br></p><p><strong><u>About the Hosts:</u></strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

John discusses coming to grips with this when he was 50. Only then did he get it through his thick head that he had to figure out his life. Nobody else can figure it out for him. Because nobody else but him has all the information. And there’s not going to be some magical thing that happens to transform your life. Again it’s fully and completely on you to figure out how to be successful in each area of your life. It’s really being accountable for your life. Kelly particularly advocates for this idea.

In this episode John and Kelly really go deep into the importance of tuning into what reality is telling you. Regarding what you’re doing. Is it working or is it not working.

As defined by earning over $100,000 a year, having a great romantic relationship and also being on top of their health. The answer is about 2%. In the podcast, John poses the question to chat GPT. Which confirms this. It’s amazing that in the richest country in the world, only 2% of people are living the exceptional life. So why is that? It’s because most people are just winging life. They don’t have an actual way of doing life. Accordingly, they get the average life.

As defined by earning over $100,000 a year, having a great romantic relationship and also being on top of their health. The answer is about 2%. In the podcast, John poses the question to chat GPT. Which confirms this. It’s amazing that in the richest country in the world, only 2% of people are living the exceptional life. So why is that? It’s because most people are just winging life. They don’t have an actual way of doing life. Accordingly, they get the average life. The alternative to just winging life is the 12 minute day technique of think it be it.</p><p>Buy John’s book, <em>THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it</em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/MISSING-SECRET-Legendary-Think-12-minute-ebook/dp/B0DPQPB55B" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> here</a>.</p><p><strong><u>About the Hosts:</u></strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

But what does that really mean? In this episode John poses the question to chat GPT. The essence of what Chat says is it’s taking personal responsibility for your life and the results that show up in your life. Making sure your actions reflect steps to your well thought out goals. John talks about how there is this constant dance between the conscious mind and the subconscious mind. In the conscious mind you’re establishing the ideal you. Exactly the person you want to be, exactly what you want to accomplish, and precisely how you are going to achieve your clearly defined goals. So that’s again established in the conscious mind.</p><p>Then you feed that to the subconscious mind. It takes 12 minutes a day. And the effect is the ideal you is who you actually become. John and Kelly talk about how the subconscious mind is either your greatest asset or your greatest nemesis in life. And it’s your choice. It’s your greatest nemesis in life because you’re innately wired for survival. Which causes you to be fear-based and reactive. So if you don’t do anything to override being wired for survival, your subconscious mind is your greatest nemesis in life. But on the flipside of that, when you properly programm yourself in your morning routine, it becomes your greatest asset. The subconscious mind is like a garden. If you water it and fertilize it by giving it the proper input, flowers are produced. If you neglect it, weeds will show up.</p><p>Buy John’s book, <em>THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it</em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/MISSING-SECRET-Legendary-Think-12-minute-ebook/dp/B0DPQPB55B" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> here</a>.</p><p><strong><u>About the Hosts:</u></strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

It’s creating a moniker, a bumper sticker for essentially how the think it be it methodology works. And John calls it the bubble up effect. John gives an example in his marriage. So each day, off John and Ginger go. Then around dinner time they reconvene. Now keep in mind, John starts his day by reading his life GPS template. He reads two key things about his marriage. He articulates that he is flexible patient and thoughtful. And describes what those things mean relative to his relationship.</p><p>Then he also articulates that Ginger is different than he is. She does things slow and is people oriented. John does things fast and his task oriented. Around 6 PM Ginger starts to prepare dinner. In her world, everything has to be perfect. Napkins out, everything perfect. But in John’s world, he’s thinking, and keep in mind he’s only thinking this, let’s eat. Your boy is hungry. Put the food on the table. But what happens is at the first hint of impatience, an unconscious thought bubbles up to John’s conscious mind. John, here’s an opportunity to be patient. So what does he do? He’s patient. Because of reading his life GPS template each day is creating that bubble up effect at the first hint of impatience.</p><p>John gives another example in his career. One of the things the articulates to himself each morning is the three things that move the needle in his career. And the effect is at the first hint of feeling unproductive or off in the weeds, an unconscious thought bubbles up to his conscious mind to take control of what he’s doing and now intelligently focus on what moves the needle. Another example is health. He articulates in his life GPS template’s rules for eating healthy. And then at the first hint of hunger each day, an unconscious thought bubbles up to his conscious mind to make the healthy choice. Resisting the autopilot response of potentially eating unhealthy based on the stress of the moment. But the point of this entire podcast is to convey this concept, this moniker, this bumper sticker for how the think it be it methodology works. It’s called the bubble up effect.</p><p>Buy John’s book, <em>THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it</em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/MISSING-SECRET-Legendary-Think-12-minute-ebook/dp/B0DPQPB55B" target="_blank"> here</a>.</p><p><strong><u>About the Hosts:</u></strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

It’s creating a moniker, a bumper sticker for essentially how the think it be it methodology works. And John calls it the bubble up effect. John gives an example in his marriage. So each day, off John and Ginger go. Then around dinner time they reconvene. Now keep in mind, John starts his day by reading his life GPS template. He reads two key things about his marriage. He articulates that he is flexible patient and thoughtful. And describes what those things mean relative to his relationship.</p><p>Then he also articulates that Ginger is different than he is. She does things slow and is people oriented. John does things fast and his task oriented. Around 6 PM Ginger starts to prepare dinner. In her world, everything has to be perfect. Napkins out, everything perfect. But in John’s world, he’s thinking, and keep in mind he’s only thinking this, let’s eat. Your boy is hungry. Put the food on the table. But what happens is at the first hint of impatience, an unconscious thought bubbles up to John’s conscious mind. John, here’s an opportunity to be patient. So what does he do? He’s patient. Because of reading his life GPS template each day is creating that bubble up effect at the first hint of impatience.</p><p>John gives another example in his career. One of the things the articulates to himself each morning is the three things that move the needle in his career. And the effect is at the first hint of feeling unproductive or off in the weeds, an unconscious thought bubbles up to his conscious mind to take control of what he’s doing and now intelligently focus on what moves the needle. Another example is health. He articulates in his life GPS template’s rules for eating healthy. And then at the first hint of hunger each day, an unconscious thought bubbles up to his conscious mind to make the healthy choice. Resisting the autopilot response of potentially eating unhealthy based on the stress of the moment. But the point of this entire podcast is to convey this concept, this moniker, this bumper sticker for how the think it be it methodology works. It’s called the bubble up effect.</p><p>Buy John’s book, <em>THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it</em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/MISSING-SECRET-Legendary-Think-12-minute-ebook/dp/B0DPQPB55B" target="_blank"> here</a>.</p><p><strong><u>About the Hosts:</u></strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>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.

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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>Reach out to John at john@thinkitbeit.com</p><p>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-mitchell-76483654/" target="_blank"><u>https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-mitchell-76483654/</u></a></p><p>Kelly Hatfield</p><p>Kelly Hatfield is an entrepreneur at heart.

Essentially what this is is it determines which of four personality types you are. Based on whether you do things fast or do them slow. And whether you are people oriented or task oriented. And one of the key things that comes from understanding this is you realize that approximately 70% of people are different than you. 70% of people are processing the very same information you are processing and coming up with different conclusions.</p><p>Once you really grasp this, it makes your life much easier. They are not disagreeing with you in order to be obstinate. They’re just processing the same information differently than you are. But also here’s the key thing to appreciate. In most cases when people process information differently than you do, one person is right and one person is wrong. And the person that is right is one that has the opinion that is closest to what is actually true. What has been proven to be true in reality. So when people process information differently than you and it is contrary to what is proven to be true, they are processing information erroneously to their detriment.

Do you think your results in life match your potential. And level of intelligence? If not, consider this. You’re daily actions determine your success in each area of your life. But 95% of your daily actions are unconscious. They are reactionary, in the moment, and on autopilot. And since they are unconscious, your greatest asset, your intelligence and intellect, is not controlling and directing the very thing it that is determining your success.</p><p>That’s why you can only do your key intentions and actions sporadically. And doing them consistently is the difference between having the exceptional life in the average life. So you have to fix this problem if you want the exceptional life. You do that with a new morning routine. Where you feed the succinct articulation of your desired life yourself each day. Takes 12 minutes a day. That’s the repetition the subconscious mind needs to rewire your autopilot and make the right actions happen automatically and consistently. Rather than reactionary and sporadically. And you have a level of control over yourself beyond what you’ve ever experienced before. The impact of doing this? Your results will match your potential and your intelligence.</p><p>Buy John’s book, <em>THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it</em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/MISSING-SECRET-Legendary-Think-12-minute-ebook/dp/B0DPQPB55B" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> here</a>.</p><p><strong><u>About the Hosts:</u></strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

John says most people are fundamentally UNENLIGHTENED about their health. And admits that he was to, until about two years ago. Even though he was working out six times a week and eating well. But he was still unenlightened about medicine 3.0. Prevention and longevity.</p><p>In this episode John talks about some key things that people typically don’t know. As an example, with cancer there has been no decrease in cancer in the last 20 years. And once a cancer gets out of the organ it starts in, your life expectancy is two and half years. That’s why early detection is so important. Additionally, being overweight and having high A1c substantially increases your likelihood of getting cancer.</p><p>Then John talks about Alzheimer’s. If you have the Alzheimer’s gene, and 15% of people do, you have a substantially higher risk of getting Alzheimer’s. And if you have high A1c and are substantially overweight, you are at the same level of risk of getting Alzheimer’s that people that have the gene are.</p><p>Then John goes on to talk about longevity. The number one factor in longevity is your cardio fitness as measured by your VO2 max. Number two factor in longevity is strength. In talking about medicine 3.0, it’s all about prevention. The foundation is getting your blood tested each quarter, then it’s reviewed by Dr., who then prescribes peptides and supplements to rectify the things you are deficient in.</p><p>And the final thing that John points out is that according to Dr. Peter Attia, who just appeared on 60 minutes as the preeminent authority on health optimization in longevity, he says that when you turn 75, from a health standpoint, you literally fall off a cliff. You will see a 50% decline in the next 10 years or so in your cognition in your physical capabilities. If you do nothing. But if you’re properly enlightened and do the proper type of exercise that takes no longer than 30 minutes a day, you can add 10 to 15 years of healthy living to your life.</p><p>Buy John’s book, <em>THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it</em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/MISSING-SECRET-Legendary-Think-12-minute-ebook/dp/B0DPQPB55B" target="_blank"> here</a>.</p><p><strong><u>About the Hosts:</u></strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>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 &amp; 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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>Reach out to John at john@thinkitbeit.com</p><p>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-mitchell-76483654/" target="_blank"><u>https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-mitchell-76483654/</u></a></p><p>Kelly Hatfield</p><p>Kelly Hatfield is an entrepreneur at heart.

Where when you get up it each morning, you look forward to going to work. John talks about how with the think it be it methodology, it’s all about giving you control over your self. But what good is control if you’re doing a job that you hate. In studying success, John sees that doing what you love for a career comes down to three things being in alignment. Your values, your proclivities and unique talents, and then your interests that are economically viable. </p><p>And so in this episode, John and Kelly talk about values. John says that most people don’t really know what values are. And Susie Welch from NYU has a great book called becoming you. Where she describes 16 different values that are important to understand as you pursue your career. And during this podcast, John and Kelly talk about each value and where they personally rate on each value. It’s a fascinating discussion. That addresses values like how important is control. How important is recognition and celebrity. How important is work versus family.</p><p>Buy John’s book, <em>THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it</em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/MISSING-SECRET-Legendary-Think-12-minute-ebook/dp/B0DPQPB55B" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> here</a>.</p><p><strong><u>About the Hosts:</u></strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

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.</p><p>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.

John opens the discussion by saying that it’s a combination of two things. It gives a person immense control over themselves. But that is coupled with intelligent success strategies. John points out that when he was in his 50s and was blessed to make 25 times the 200 – $300,000 a year he was making the prior 20 years, it was happening because of the immense control he had over himself. But it also included being able to implement key strategies. Such as being highly organized. Planning his day the night before and time blocking his days. Also setting aside time each week to deep think two times a week. Also being a conduit of learning. Where he had a system where he would listen to great content an entrepreneur needed. Such as marketing, employee empowerment, time efficiency.</p><p>He also focused only on what moves the needle. Of course all that was reinforced in his life GPS template. So it was a combination of knowing the right strategies to apply coupled with having immense control over himself that caused his income to go up so much. During this discussion John and Kelly talk about how most people are disappointed that their intentions oftentimes don’t turn into reality. That’s because they are only setting their intentions with their conscious mind. The subconscious mind is responsible for the doing. And since 95% of your daily thoughts and actions are unconscious, you have to influence the subconscious mind. Otherwise you play the game of life at 5% of your potential. John also talks about how the life GPS template has the maturity of a 50-year-old built into it. At the end of the show John and Kelly talk about your thoughts going on in your head most the time determined not only your success but your enjoyment of life.</p><p>Buy John’s book, <em>THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it</em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/MISSING-SECRET-Legendary-Think-12-minute-ebook/dp/B0DPQPB55B" target="_blank"> here</a>.</p><p><strong><u>About the Hosts:</u></strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>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.

John opens the discussion by saying that it’s a combination of two things. It gives a person immense control over themselves. But that is coupled with intelligent success strategies. John points out that when he was in his 50s and was blessed to make 25 times the 200 – $300,000 a year he was making the prior 20 years, it was happening because of the immense control he had over himself. But it also included being able to implement key strategies. Such as being highly organized. Planning his day the night before and time blocking his days. Also setting aside time each week to deep think two times a week. Also being a conduit of learning. Where he had a system where he would listen to great content an entrepreneur needed. Such as marketing, employee empowerment, time efficiency.</p><p>He also focused only on what moves the needle. Of course all that was reinforced in his life GPS template. So it was a combination of knowing the right strategies to apply coupled with having immense control over himself that caused his income to go up so much. During this discussion John and Kelly talk about how most people are disappointed that their intentions oftentimes don’t turn into reality. That’s because they are only setting their intentions with their conscious mind. The subconscious mind is responsible for the doing. And since 95% of your daily thoughts and actions are unconscious, you have to influence the subconscious mind. Otherwise you play the game of life at 5% of your potential. John also talks about how the life GPS template has the maturity of a 50-year-old built into it. At the end of the show John and Kelly talk about your thoughts going on in your head most the time determined not only your success but your enjoyment of life.</p><p>Buy John’s book, <em>THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it</em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/MISSING-SECRET-Legendary-Think-12-minute-ebook/dp/B0DPQPB55B" target="_blank"> here</a>.</p><p><strong><u>About the Hosts:</u></strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

It was Steve who came up with a line that your subconscious mind is either your greatest asset or your greatest challenge in life. John and Steve bat that idea around. And John points out that the fact that a person is wired for survival is the biggest thing a person has to overcome. And he makes the analogy using higher forms of life coming to earth. If there was a higher life form that came to our planet and observed our planet, they would observed that human beings are wired for survival. And therefore they are fear-based and reactive.</p><p>But in looking at modern society today, it looks like humans have a pretty cushy life. There’s nothing threatening their survival on a daily basis. They all want to be successful and happy. But being fear-based and reactive is exactly the opposite of how they need to be in order to be productive and happy. These enlightened aliens would likely say -well let’s just fix that and let’s go into their DNA and reprogram them. We learned how to do that light years ago. The Takeaway from that story is that you can wait for enlightened beings to come to earth and reprogram you or you can take the responsibility for reprogramming yourself for success right now.</p><p>John then goes on to make a key point. The methodology that he has created is an ACTUAL WAY OF DOING LIFE. NOT ANOTHER STRATEGY. But an actual way of doing life. It takes 12 minutes a day. And from what John can see in the success and human achievement field, nobody else is providing that. And from that way of doing life, which takes 12 minutes a day, you override being wired for survival. And you turn your subconscious mind from being your greatest nemesis into being your greatest asset. Giving yourself immense control over yourself.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

John mentions that he started out as a CPA and became an entrepreneur when he was 30. Then he was in seven different businesses in his 30s and 40s. But in retrospect, he sees that he was not connected to any of them emotionally. Then when he turned 50, he got in the reverse mortgage business. A business he was, in fact, emotionally connected to. Because he had seen how investment advisors had tried to coerce his mom into various investments after is dad had died at John’s age of 24. He saw that those investment advisors didn’t have his mom’s best interest at heart. So when he got into the reverse mortgage business, he was committed to treating all his customers like his own parents. So that was the emotional connection.</p><p>And the big Takeaway is that whatever business or industry you are in, you need to be passionate about it. You need to be emotionally connected to it in order for you to thrive long-term. John then gets into more detail about what took his income, when he was in his mid-50s, to 25 times the $200,000 – $300,000 a year he making the prior 20 years.&nbsp;He saw that he was doing three high-performance skills he never was doing before. He was highly organized. Planning is day the night before and time blocking is days. He was deep thinking two times a week. Tuning into reality. Growing every week from experts in areas that he needed in order to be successful&nbsp;as an entrepreneur. Primarily in marketing.</p><p>Then John saw that through the think it be it methodology he was feeding himself six key things every day. His business plan, his strategy for success, the two or three things that move the needle, where he wanted the business to be three years from now, the 4-5 milestones to get there, and the linchpin issue to go to the next level. From feeding those six things to himself every day, he continually refined his understanding of those key components every day. So it was that combination of doing those three high-performance skills coupled with a continually evolving deeper understanding of his business that caused his income to go up by 25 times. And lastly, John talks about if you’re an employee, you are, in fact, really an entrepreneur. The same concepts apply. Your career is your business.&nbsp;</p><p>Buy John’s book, <em>THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it</em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/MISSING-SECRET-Legendary-Think-12-minute-ebook/dp/B0DPQPB55B" target="_blank"> here</a>.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

John mentions that he started out as a CPA and became an entrepreneur when he was 30. Then he was in seven different businesses in his 30s and 40s. But in retrospect, he sees that he was not connected to any of them emotionally. Then when he turned 50, he got in the reverse mortgage business. A business he was, in fact, emotionally connected to. Because he had seen how investment advisors had tried to coerce his mom into various investments after is dad had died at John’s age of 24. He saw that those investment advisors didn’t have his mom’s best interest at heart. So when he got into the reverse mortgage business, he was committed to treating all his customers like his own parents. So that was the emotional connection.</p><p>And the big Takeaway is that whatever business or industry you are in, you need to be passionate about it. You need to be emotionally connected to it in order for you to thrive long-term. John then gets into more detail about what took his income, when he was in his mid-50s, to 25 times the $200,000 – $300,000 a year he making the prior 20 years.&nbsp;He saw that he was doing three high-performance skills he never was doing before. He was highly organized. Planning is day the night before and time blocking is days. He was deep thinking two times a week. Tuning into reality. Growing every week from experts in areas that he needed in order to be successful&nbsp;as an entrepreneur. Primarily in marketing.</p><p>Then John saw that through the think it be it methodology he was feeding himself six key things every day. His business plan, his strategy for success, the two or three things that move the needle, where he wanted the business to be three years from now, the 4-5 milestones to get there, and the linchpin issue to go to the next level. From feeding those six things to himself every day, he continually refined his understanding of those key components every day. So it was that combination of doing those three high-performance skills coupled with a continually evolving deeper understanding of his business that caused his income to go up by 25 times. And lastly, John talks about if you’re an employee, you are, in fact, really an entrepreneur. The same concepts apply. Your career is your business.&nbsp;</p><p>Buy John’s book, <em>THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it</em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/MISSING-SECRET-Legendary-Think-12-minute-ebook/dp/B0DPQPB55B" target="_blank"> here</a>.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>John’s technique was profiled on the cover of Time Magazine.

In American society today, no one is taught an actual way to create success in life. And people have two problems. First they conceptually can’t articulate how they create success. And secondly, they don’t have an actual way to do it if they could articulate it. But of course the think it be it 12 minute day technique is how one creates success. </p><p>As John points out, when someone ask him how do you create success in your life he’s crystal-clear about it. My success comes down to my daily actions. 95% my daily actions are unconscious. And since they are unconscious, that means my conscious mind intelligence and intellect is not directing the vast majority of my daily actions. Yet those daily actions are the very thing that determines my success. So I fix that by gaining control over those unconscious daily actions. And making more of my daily actions conscious rather than unconscious.</p><p> John goes on to say that actually creating success is conceptually very simple. You create immense clarity about your life. Exactly the person you want to be, what you want to accomplish, and precisely how you’re going to achieve your clearly defined goals. You then feed that to yourself each day. Takes 12 Mensa day. Then after 21 days, the right actions happen automatically. Those upgraded daily actions then create the life you desire. Profoundly simple. This works whether you’re 16 or 60. The science behind this is compelling and the credibility is compelling. You’re applying the central concept of the top book in the world on success to your life. A book that’s been read by over 150 million people. </p><p>And this 12 minute a day methodology has been vetted at one the top five business schools in the country. But few are aware of this because there’s so much clutter in the world.&nbsp;</p><p>Buy John’s book, <em>THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it</em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/MISSING-SECRET-Legendary-Think-12-minute-ebook/dp/B0DPQPB55B" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> here</a>.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

You are two people in one. There is the do’er you and there is the observer you. John points out that this is a powerful way to look at your life from a 30,000 foot view. And it is particularly appropriate for someone doing the think it be it 12 minute a day methodology. That’s the case because the observer you took the life GPS template and with the conscious mind created your desired life. Exactly the person you want to be, exactly what you want to accomplish, and precisely how you’re going to achieve your clearly defined goals. Again, all conscious mind involving the observer you.</p><p>Then for 12 minutes a day, when you read your life GPS template, you got everybody on the team together at the same time. The life GPS template is instructing the doer side of you on exactly what you want done. Giving all the specifics.&nbsp;But while you are reading your life GPS template, the observer you is also evaluating it. Deciding if there’s any tweaks to it. And factoring in that the observer you actually created the life GPS template and customized it to your unique life. When you really think about this idea it really puts your life in perspective. And more than anything else, at the end of that you’re really an observer of your life.

That’s the case because the observer you took the life GPS template and with the conscious mind created your desired life. Exactly the person you want to be, exactly what you want to accomplish, and precisely how you’re going to achieve your clearly defined goals. Again, all conscious mind involving the observer you.</p><p>Then for 12 minutes a day, when you read your life GPS template, you got everybody on the team together at the same time. The life GPS template is instructing the doer side of you on exactly what you want done. Giving all the specifics.&nbsp;But while you are reading your life GPS template, the observer you is also evaluating it. Deciding if there’s any tweaks to it. And factoring in that the observer you actually created the life GPS template and customized it to your unique life. When you really think about this idea it really puts your life in perspective. And more than anything else, at the end of that you’re really an observer of your life. When we talk about who YOU are, you’re really the observer of your life.&nbsp;</p><p>Buy John’s book, <em>THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it</em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/MISSING-SECRET-Legendary-Think-12-minute-ebook/dp/B0DPQPB55B" target="_blank"> here</a>.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

Do your results match your potential? John mentioned that when he was 50 years old, clearly his results did not match his potential. And seven years ago when John and Kelly met, Kelly’s results did not match her potential. For both of them there was more gas in the tank than was coming out. So why does that happen? Why don’t your results match your potential? The answer is obvious. It’s because 95% your daily thoughts and actions are unconscious. And since are unconscious, your conscious mind intelligence and intellect is not driving your actions. Yet those actions are the very thing that determine your success in life.</p><p>To drive this point home further, John gives an example of his daily life with Ginger. How he reacts one way from reading his life GPS template each day versus being reactive and playing the game of life at a lower level when he wasn’t reading his life GPS template. John and Kelly then discuss the ongoing dance between the conscious mind and the subconscious mind. Everything starts in the conscious mind. And that’s why it is critical that a person be highly organized. Where they are planning their day the night before and time blocking their day. That is all conscious mind. John mentioned that he is going to do a revision to his book. And is really going to tell people that if they don’t plan their day the night the night before and time block their days, the 12 minute day methodology is not for them. That’s how important being highly organized with an intelligent system is.&nbsp;</p><p>Buy John’s book, <em>THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it</em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/MISSING-SECRET-Legendary-Think-12-minute-ebook/dp/B0DPQPB55B" target="_blank"> here</a>.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

John had a student play the 20-year-old version of John Mitchell. And John played the current version. John then imparted lessons to the 20-year-old version of himself that would make his life way easier and way more successful earlier. And here’s the essence of what it came down to. WORK SMARTER. But most of us are ingrained to just work harder. Big mistake. But the natural question is how do you work smarter?</p><p>At the end of the day, it comes down to understanding HOW THE HUMAN MIND WORKS. And the linchpin issue is that 95% of a person’s daily thoughts and actions are unconscious. Once a person gets the PROFOUND RAMIFICATIONS of that, their life is never the same. The BIG DOMINO DROPS. And here’s why. Your success in life comes down to your DAILY ACTIONS. If 95% your daily actions are unconscious, if you are not gaining control over those unconscious daily actions you’re playing the game of life at 5% of your potential.</p><p>And here’s the other key thing that comes from that. YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND CONTROLS YOUR LIFE. It’s either your greatest asset or your greatest nemesis and challenge. Contemplate that for minute. Here’s why that’s the case. We are all innately WIRED FOR SURVIVAL. That causes 75% of our thoughts be fear-based and we’re reactive rather than proactive on our agenda. Therefore if you do nothing to override being wired for survival, you live life fear-based and reactive every day. It’s a horrible way to live. But if you take control of your subconscious mind, and feed the succinct articulation of your life yourself each day, it’s a whole new ballgame. You’ll now wired yourself for success, rather than being wired for survival.</p><p>So it’s your choice. Do you want your subconscious mind to be your biggest asset, or do you want it to be your greatest challenge that you have to fight every day. It’s up to you. Controlling your subconscious mind only takes 12 minutes a day.</p><p>Buy John’s book, <em>THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it</em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/MISSING-SECRET-Legendary-Think-12-minute-ebook/dp/B0DPQPB55B" target="_blank"> here</a>.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>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 &amp; 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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>Reach out to John at john@thinkitbeit.com</p><p>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-mitchell-76483654/" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-mitchell-76483654/</a></p><p>Kelly Hatfield</p><p>Kelly Hatfield is an entrepreneur at heart.

And that’s significant because your identity defines your long-term actions. And your actions ultimately determine your success in life. In this episode John and Kelly play clips from a video by Dr. Joe dispenza – the world acclaimed mind-body expert. So John plays for five minutes of a clip and then John and Kelly discuss what they’re learning.</p><p>The first clip talks about how your life is about to change from self talk. Then Joe talks about how people are living on autopilot. And the effect of that is they re-create their past. Also how the negative self talk adversely affects their biochemistry. Then John and Kelly discuss those topics then a clip is played of what actually happens in the body from self talk.The big Takeaway is your self talk determines your identity. And most people have no directed and focused self talk and therefore default to negative self talk.</p><p>Buy John’s book, <em>THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it</em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/MISSING-SECRET-Legendary-Think-12-minute-ebook/dp/B0DPQPB55B" target="_blank"> here</a>.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

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.</p><p>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.

More specifically using focused self talk to create your identity. There is some amazing new research out of Stanford and Dr. Andrew Huberman where he talks about the scientific discoveries regarding how self talk impacts a person’s neurochemistry and autopilot. The connection is pretty simple. Self talk impacts identity, identity effects a person’s long-term actions, and actions determine a person’s success and achievement in life.</p><p>So when you talk to yourself in the second person with empowering statements, it literally changes the chemical release of things like dopamine. And the expression of your genes. And it changes how your autopilot is wired. And that’s significant because 95% your daily thoughts and actions are unconscious. Meaning that 95% are on autopilot. During this interview it’s noted that when you say I, you’re more focused on your intentions. Where as when you say you, it’s your identity – which is more sticky then intentions.</p><p>During this podcast John and Kelly discuss the concept of negative thoughts. And Dr. Andrew Huberman suggests that when a negative thought comes in your head, you simply identify it. Identify it as a thought and label it as not true. When you have the presence of mind to do that, it changes how the brain processes that negative thought. This episode is a must listen to for anyone that is doing the think it be it methodology. The end result is you will be changing your life GPS template to say YOU instead of I based on the latest neurophysiology research out of Stanford.&nbsp;</p><p>In the show notes for providing an important video regarding self talk and its impact on you physically.

Kelly had the benefit of growing up with a father who was big into personal growth. Accordingly, ongoing personal growth is who Kelly is. John didn’t have the same good fortune. When he turned 50 and he wasn’t as successful as he thought he should be, he saw that in his 30s and 40s he was too busy for personal growth. Big mistake. And when he got into his 50s, he rectified that. By creating a system for personal growth. That made it both consistent and strategic relative to what he wanted to accomplish. It was foundational in causing his income to go up by 25 times over the $200,000 a year he was making the prior 20 years.</p><p>In this episode John acknowledges that many people don’t have an appreciation for personal growth because their life experience hasn’t shown them how valuable it is. But does everybody have to learn everything the hard way?. John makes the contention that nobody is smart enough to be highly successful on their own. Nobody. And you actually don’t have to be the smartest person in the world. Just be a conduit of learning. Continually learning from experts. At the end this podcast John explains that on March 28, which is a Friday at 11 AM central time, John is going to conduct the quarterly 2% mastermind. Helping people using the 12 minute a day methodology tweak up there life GPS template. And allows them to ask questions.&nbsp;</p><p>Buy John’s book, <em>THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it</em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/MISSING-SECRET-Legendary-Think-12-minute-ebook/dp/B0DPQPB55B" target="_blank"> here</a>.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

Kelly had the benefit of growing up with a father who was big into personal growth. Accordingly, ongoing personal growth is who Kelly is. John didn’t have the same good fortune. When he turned 50 and he wasn’t as successful as he thought he should be, he saw that in his 30s and 40s he was too busy for personal growth. Big mistake. And when he got into his 50s, he rectified that. By creating a system for personal growth. That made it both consistent and strategic relative to what he wanted to accomplish. It was foundational in causing his income to go up by 25 times over the $200,000 a year he was making the prior 20 years.</p><p>In this episode John acknowledges that many people don’t have an appreciation for personal growth because their life experience hasn’t shown them how valuable it is. But does everybody have to learn everything the hard way?. John makes the contention that nobody is smart enough to be highly successful on their own. Nobody. And you actually don’t have to be the smartest person in the world. Just be a conduit of learning. Continually learning from experts. At the end this podcast John explains that on March 28, which is a Friday at 11 AM central time, John is going to conduct the quarterly 2% mastermind. Helping people using the 12 minute a day methodology tweak up there life GPS template. And allows them to ask questions.&nbsp;</p><p>Buy John’s book, <em>THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it</em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/MISSING-SECRET-Legendary-Think-12-minute-ebook/dp/B0DPQPB55B" target="_blank"> here</a>.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>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 &amp; 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.</p><p>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.

This comes from a great book called Inner Excellence. And here’s the reality. Most people are creating themselves from the outside in. Driven by social media and what other people think. So who they are is primarily influenced by those factors. Exactly the opposite of how you want to be. You want to be created from the inside out. At the end the day, all we want is inner peace and to live our life confidently. And everything starts with gratitude. Which promotes inner strength, which then leads to mental toughness. Which then leads to achievement. And that all comes back to inner peace and gratitude.</p><p>During this podcast Kelly digs into the idea that your identity dictates your actions. Who you see yourself as determines the actions you take. And your morning routine is how you establish your identity and how you build yourself from the inside out.

The classic way we explain it is as follows. Your actions determine your success in each area of your life. It is well documented that 95% of your daily actions are unconscious. Accordingly just connect the dots. Your subconscious mind controls your life. And if you want a higher level of success, you have to gain control over those unconscious daily actions. But one thing that John finds interesting from appearing on various podcast is often times the host will acknowledge that they know that 95% of their daily actions are unconscious but do not do anything about it.</p><p>Kelly provides some great wisdom on this topic. First of all, she says that often times people didn’t know they could do anything about it. Well that’s exactly what the think it be it methodology is all about. The 12 minute a day technique. Taking control over those unconscious daily actions. The other thing Kelly astutely points out is that most people aren’t thinking about this anyway. They’re just gliding through life living life at a shallow level. Not getting much thought to the implications of 95% of their daily thoughts and actions being unconscious. Once you listen to this podcast, you will have a deeper and richer understanding of this fundamental concept that when you think about it, is life-changing.&nbsp;</p><p>Buy John’s book, <em>THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it</em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/MISSING-SECRET-Legendary-Think-12-minute-ebook/dp/B0DPQPB55B" target="_blank"> here</a>.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

Taking control over those unconscious daily actions. The other thing Kelly astutely points out is that most people aren’t thinking about this anyway. They’re just gliding through life living life at a shallow level. Not getting much thought to the implications of 95% of their daily thoughts and actions being unconscious. Once you listen to this podcast, you will have a deeper and richer understanding of this fundamental concept that when you think about it, is life-changing.&nbsp;</p><p>Buy John’s book, <em>THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it</em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/MISSING-SECRET-Legendary-Think-12-minute-ebook/dp/B0DPQPB55B" target="_blank"> here</a>.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>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 &amp; 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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>Reach out to John at john@thinkitbeit.com</p><p>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-mitchell-76483654/" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-mitchell-76483654/</a></p><p>Kelly Hatfield</p><p>Kelly Hatfield is an entrepreneur at heart.

There’s Power in Knowing It</itunes:title><description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode of <em>The Missing Secret Podcast</em>, John and Kelly talk about the power of knowing your own story. John talks about how he has a weekly personal growth program for the 18 head coaches at the University of Texas. As well as for the 75 people in the athletic department. And this week he provided the coaches with an interview of both Kobe Bryan and Michael Jordan’s mental coach. George Munford. He talks about how he was able to help them reach their full potential by understanding their unique story. A powerful lesson.</p><p>So in this episode, John explains in under two minutes his unique story. Then Kelly does the same thing. You will find that when you do this and define your story in under two minutes, it ends up being a source of power when things get tough and when you are dealing with the daily grind.</p><p>In this episode John also talks about the power of doing what you say you’re going to do. The research indicates that people do what they say they’re going to do about 40% of the time. Using the think it be it methodology will take it to close to 100%. At the end of the podcast John discusses getting to know Jerry Jones. And the opportunity to buy 12% of the Dallas Cowboys. That 12% is now worth over $1 billion. And the point of telling that story is the power of you getting smarter as you get older.&nbsp;</p><p>Buy John’s book, <em>THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it</em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/MISSING-SECRET-Legendary-Think-12-minute-ebook/dp/B0DPQPB55B" target="_blank"> here</a>.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

Exactly how it happens. They take a stroll down memory lane in each area of their lives and look at how they have become more enlightened. They start with career. John talks about launching into becoming an entrepreneur when he was 30. The lesson he got is always be in the control position. He then talks about learning in his 50s the six components of doing his best. John points out that in his 40s but he was delusional as to what doing his best was. In his 40s, he thought it was just getting up early. In his 50s he realized there were six components to doing his best. Including understanding how the human mind works.</p><p>Then John talks about the Epiphany he got at 50 from reading the book Think and Grow Rich. Discovering that 95% of a person’s daily thoughts and actions are unconscious. During this discussion of career John and Kelly talk about the four different types of people. And the importance of understanding how different people process the same information differently. Then John and Kelly talk about what they’ve learned in health. This is really interesting. John talks about reading the book younger next year when he was 48. Moving from exercising three days a week to six days a week. And John talks about how his enlightenment on health has been greatly increased by recently reading Peter Atia’s book Outlive. This is made him way more knowledgeable about health.

Rob Dube.&nbsp;Who is truly an enlightened soul. He wrote an amazing book called Shine. He co-authored this book with Gino Whitman, the founder of the wildly popular EOS operating system for businesses.&nbsp;</p><p>In this book he talks about how looking inward is the key to unlocking true&nbsp;entrepreneurial freedom.

In the conversation John charts Rob’s path to success from his early entrepreneur years. All the trials and tribulations. Then they discuss how Rob met Gino Whitman – the founder of EOS. And how that meeting played out in his life. In the interview John discusses the 10 disciplines noted in Rob’s book. And they delve into each one of them.

He talks about four powerful emotions that will instantly change your life. John then plays the clip. After the clip, John and Kelly talk about it. One of the emotions discussed is getting to the point where you say “I’ve had it”. John notes two times in his life when he had reached this point. Another one of the emotions is the attitude of get it done – rather than continuing to try to make a decision. This is so true. People will agonize over making a decision. It’s paralysis by analysis.</p><p>The other powerful emotion is desire. The “want to” to make a change in one’s life. And then the last one is resolve. Being determined to make the change. Then John and Kelly talk about something John is observing in a number of people he is close with. At around the age of 30, people are trying to really figure out what they’re going to do for career. That’s a natural time because it takes until you’re about 30 to figure out what your strength is and know what’s up in the real world.</p><p>John gives the advice to figure out your strength and play into it. And don’t be deluded by things you could do. You could probably do a lot of things. But you have to play into what your unique talent is. And factor in the future. Things are changing so quickly you have to figure out what career has longevity to it. You also have to understand what stage of life you’re in.

Kelly is a big believer in this. As an example, if you see yourself as being on top of your health then it’s reflected in your exercise routine and your plan for eating. You make sure that you exercise and eat in accordance with being someone who is on top of their health. Kelly points out that she is blessed to net seven figures a year. So she has that image of herself and tuned into what would a person netting seven figures a year do.</p><p>Then John comes in and talks about his identity. His foundational belief is that his life is precious. And he amplifies what Kelly says. I’m on top of my health. And from that identity it impacts my eating and exercising. John also says that he plays the game of life at his full potential. He does his best. That’s who he is. During this podcast John and Kelly also talk about three different levels of think it be it. The first level is just creating success. In your career, in your romantic relationship, and your health. Controlling your daily actions. Then those upgraded daily actions create success in each area of your life.</p><p>Then the second level. Impacting your identity. Using this methodology you’re either changing it or refining it. It’s really a spiritual experience to feed the succinct articulation of your desired life to yourself each day. Who you want to be, and what you want to accomplish, and how you are going to achieve your clearly defined goals. It’s impacting the creation of your thoughts. It’s impacting your love of self. Healing past wounds. Impacting your confidence level. Making life more enjoyable and creating more happiness. Giving you a sense of control over your life. And you can change the consciousness level at which you operate. Then the third component is the ripple effect. Once you learn this methodology, you want to share it with your friends and with your kids.&nbsp;</p><p>Buy John’s book, <em>THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it</em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/MISSING-SECRET-Legendary-Think-12-minute-ebook/dp/B0DPQPB55B" target="_blank"> here</a>.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>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 &amp; 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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>Reach out to John at john@thinkitbeit.com</p><p>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-mitchell-76483654/" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-mitchell-76483654/</a></p><p>Kelly Hatfield</p><p>Kelly Hatfield is an entrepreneur at heart.

So little back story on this topic. Recently John met a brilliant guy that is in the field of maximizing brain health. He read John’s book and had a candid suggestion for John on how to improve the book. He said there w was not enough explanation of the struggle that people go through in life. He said that before we give them the solution, we have to get them to buy in that I understand their struggle. That’s a very valid criticism.</p><p>So during this podcast Kelly talks about her struggles earlier in her career. The struggles really began for her in her mid-30s. As she was launching into being an entrepreneur. She felt like she wasn’t playing to her potential. There was more gas in the tank. And John experienced the same thing is 30s and 40s. He worked harder than all his friends. But why weren’t his results matching his efforts. John had the naïve perception that he deserved big success because he was working harder than his friends. How unenlightened is that.</p><p>Then for both John and Kelly, things shifted when they learned how the human mind works. From John discovering the secret of think and grow Rich. Which gave each of them immensely more control over their lives. John then goes on to talk about your subconscious mind is either your greatest asset or it is your greatest nemesis in life. It’s your choice. If you do nothing, your subconscious mind remains your greatest nemesis. Because it’s innately wired for survival. Causing you be fear-based and reactive. Alternatively, you can stop winging life and do the think it be it 12 minute a day methodology. That gives you control of your subconscious mind.&nbsp;</p><p>Buy John’s book, <em>THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it</em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/MISSING-SECRET-Legendary-Think-12-minute-ebook/dp/B0DPQPB55B" target="_blank"> here</a>.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

And so after a minute or two of stumbling around looking for the right answer, it becomes apparent to both John and the person that they don’t really have a way of creating success in their life.</p><p>Then John asks the killer second question. How’s that working for you? John then politely and respectfully gives them the answer. It’s not working out as well as you would like because you’re just winging life. You don’t actually have a way of doing life. When someone asked John how he creates success, he has a pretty clear answer. Your daily actions determine your success in each area of your life. 95% of your daily actions are unconscious. Therefore I gain control over my unconscious daily actions by feeding the succinct articulation of my life to myself each day. That rewires my autopilot. And causes the right actions happen automatically without thinking. And I have a powerful force pulling myself forward to my desired life. John gives another example. Oftentimes he will say that the most significant thing he ever learned in his life is that 95% of a person’s daily actions are unconscious. And so he will ask the question to someone as to whether they believe that or not. More often than not, they say they do believe it.</p><p>Then the second killer question. So what are you doing about that? Do you see the profound implications of that? The Takeaway is using questions are profound. In the last half of the episode John and Kelly talk about this idea of deep thinking two times a week. A powerful technique that is part of the think it be it methodology. It’s a three-step process. The first step is just sit down and write in your thinking tablet anything that comes up for the first 10 minutes or so. Then the second step. Figure out a question to ask yourself. Usually regarding what your biggest challenge at the moment is. Then the third step is to recap what you learned and defined the action steps. John and Kelly discuss in the think it be it methodology this ongoing dance between the conscious mind and the subconscious mind. The deep thinking technique two times a week is influencing the conscious mind. Then the daily reading of one’s visualization is impacting the subconscious mind.&nbsp;</p><p>Buy John’s book, <em>THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it</em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/MISSING-SECRET-Legendary-Think-12-minute-ebook/dp/B0DPQPB55B" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> here</a>.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

And it played a significant factor in her life. Approaching life from a curiosity standpoint and learning whatever she could. In seeking people with wisdom beyond her own wisdom.

During this episode John talks about the impact of the think it be it methodology has on one’s identity. He talks about how we are all created haphazardly.

But virtually none of it was intentional.</p><p>Even how our parents raised us was largely unintentional. They just did the best they could. And how we were raised was certainly unintentional from our standpoint. We had nothing to do with it. That’s why it’s so cool to be able to re-create yourself with intention and clarity.

This is a famous Mel Robbins quote. You have to save yourself. John talks about when he was 50 he fully embraced the idea that he had to figure out his life. To own creating the exceptional life rather than just, at some level, assuming it would just happen. At 50, John realized he had to make it happen by his actions. He also realize it what he was getting was exactly what he deserved. His actions were producing the average life.

This is a famous Mel Robbins quote. You have to save yourself. John talks about when he was 50 he fully embraced the idea that he had to figure out his life. To own creating the exceptional life rather than just, at some level, assuming it would just happen. At 50, John realized he had to make it happen by his actions. He also realize it what he was getting was exactly what he deserved. His actions were producing the average life.

This is based on a book from David Hawkings. Truly life-changing book. It’s very similar to Mel Robbins' recent book called The let them theory. The essence of Mel Robbins' book is that you do you and you let other people do them. Don’t worry about the things you don’t control. In this book Mel Robbins says that the problem is the power you give other people. Two simple words – let them – will set you free. From the opinions, drama and judgment of others. Free from the exhausting cycle trying to manage everything and everyone around you. Again you do you, focus on what you control, and let other people do them. The fundamental problem is that people try to control things they don’t control. So people have to fix that.</p><p>Then John gets into a life-changing book he is reading called Letting Go. John says it’s taking him to the next level. And what letting go means is when things come up in your life that are frustrating, just let it go. Don’t hold onto the frustration. The more you give energy to a frustration, the more it negatively impacts you. John goes on to talk about how learning this methodology is so compatible with the think it be it 12 minute a day methodology. When you feed the concept of letting go to yourself each day, you rewire your autopilot. So that’s what you actually do. And you become a person that lets go.</p><p>Buy John’s book, <em>THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it</em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/MISSING-SECRET-Legendary-Think-12-minute-ebook/dp/B0DPQPB55B" target="_blank"> here</a>.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

John says that there is something magical about turning 50. Before you turn 50, your attitude is generally what don’t I know? I pretty much know everything. But when you turned 50, you understand life at a deeper and deeper level. And you also decide to do life on your terms rather than everybody else’s terms. John talks about the things he learned in his 50s that he didn’t know when he was in his 30s and 40s. As an example. How to work smarter not harder. By understanding how the human mind works. No clue about this in his 30s or 40s. He also didn’t understand how to play into one’s own strengths and understanding in detail one’s own strengths. That became apparent in his 50s. </p><p>John also learned the power of growing intellectually every week with a system that made that personal growth strategic. He wasn’t doing that in his 30s and 40s. Also he learned how to deep think two times a week his 50s. Clueless about that in his 30s and 40s. Then when John got into his 60s he started appreciate how people are different than he was. And that it’s okay. People are the product of their genetics coupled with what has come into their consciousness to this point in their life. John also learn the power of having a powerful and emotional mission statement. </p><p>During this discussion Kelly and John also discuss the limiting factor in one’s success regarding having false beliefs. John and Kelly both believed erroneously that they controlled their daily actions. Then they got enlightened to the fact that 95% of a person’s daily actions are unconscious. And that was significant because they understood that one’s success in life comes down to their daily actions. Once they got that, everything changed. Then in the podcast, John and Kelly talk about the immense power of improving one’s self-image. By digging deep into it.&nbsp;</p><p>Buy John’s book, <em>THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it</em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/MISSING-SECRET-Legendary-Think-12-minute-ebook/dp/B0DPQPB55B" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> here</a>.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

John says that there is something magical about turning 50. Before you turn 50, your attitude is generally what don’t I know? I pretty much know everything. But when you turned 50, you understand life at a deeper and deeper level. And you also decide to do life on your terms rather than everybody else’s terms. John talks about the things he learned in his 50s that he didn’t know when he was in his 30s and 40s. As an example. How to work smarter not harder. By understanding how the human mind works. No clue about this in his 30s or 40s. He also didn’t understand how to play into one’s own strengths and understanding in detail one’s own strengths. That became apparent in his 50s. </p><p>John also learned the power of growing intellectually every week with a system that made that personal growth strategic. He wasn’t doing that in his 30s and 40s. Also he learned how to deep think two times a week his 50s. Clueless about that in his 30s and 40s. Then when John got into his 60s he started appreciate how people are different than he was. And that it’s okay. People are the product of their genetics coupled with what has come into their consciousness to this point in their life. John also learn the power of having a powerful and emotional mission statement. </p><p>During this discussion Kelly and John also discuss the limiting factor in one’s success regarding having false beliefs. John and Kelly both believed erroneously that they controlled their daily actions. Then they got enlightened to the fact that 95% of a person’s daily actions are unconscious. And that was significant because they understood that one’s success in life comes down to their daily actions. Once they got that, everything changed. Then in the podcast, John and Kelly talk about the immense power of improving one’s self-image. By digging deep into it.&nbsp;</p><p>Buy John’s book, <em>THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it</em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/MISSING-SECRET-Legendary-Think-12-minute-ebook/dp/B0DPQPB55B" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> here</a>.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>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 &amp; 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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.

For Kelly, it was reaffirming her resilience. For John, it was learning the disc profile. Understanding that he is a D. He’s an action taker and does things fast and is focused on tasks. Whereas John’s precious wife Ginger is a C. She does things slow and is a perfectionist. Also focused on tasks. This has been powerful in John’s life to understand this because we all have a natural tendency to think that people who don’t see things the way that we see them are simply wrong or inferior. Not so. They’re just processing information differently. Appreciating this subtle difference is powerful.</p><p>And so the takeaway lesson is take the disc profile and understand the personality type you are and the personality type your spouse is. And understand your weaknesses so that you can compensate for them. During this podcast John also talks about the things he learned from his class at the University of Texas. So many interesting things. Most people didn’t realize they are WIRED FOR SURVIVAL. And the effect of that is that 75% of their thoughts are fear-based and they’re reactive rather than proactive on their important agenda.</p><p>The other big thing they learned is that 95% OF THEIR DAILY ACTIONS ARE UNCONSCIOUS.

The significance of that is your daily actions determine your success in each area of your life. So we will go deep on this topic today. And here’s what we see. Lots of people think that all of their daily actions are conscious. The reason they feel that way is they are aware of all their daily actions. Accordingly, they think they are consciously made. But they are NOT consciously made. What actually happens, and this is scientifically proven, is a vast majority of your actions happen unconsciously and then a split second later you become conscious of it.</p><p>As an example, if you’re feeling stressed you might unconsciously eat a snack. But once you’ve started eat the snack, only then do you become consciously aware of it. But the actual action of starting to eat the snack happened unconsciously. In this episode to prove this point that your actions happen unconsciously and then you become aware of them, John engages with chat GPT. Very interesting discussion.&nbsp;</p><p>Buy John’s book,&nbsp;<em>THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it</em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/MISSING-SECRET-Legendary-Think-12-minute-ebook/dp/B0DPQPB55B" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">&nbsp;here</a>.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

Lots of people think that all of their daily actions are conscious. The reason they feel that way is they are aware of all their daily actions. Accordingly, they think they are consciously made. But they are NOT consciously made. What actually happens, and this is scientifically proven, is a vast majority of your actions happen unconsciously and then a split second later you become conscious of it.</p><p>As an example, if you’re feeling stressed you might unconsciously eat a snack. But once you’ve started eat the snack, only then do you become consciously aware of it. But the actual action of starting to eat the snack happened unconsciously. In this episode to prove this point that your actions happen unconsciously and then you become aware of them, John engages with chat GPT. Very interesting discussion.&nbsp;</p><p>Buy John’s book,&nbsp;<em>THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it</em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/MISSING-SECRET-Legendary-Think-12-minute-ebook/dp/B0DPQPB55B" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">&nbsp;here</a>.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

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.</p><p>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.

During this podcast at the start John mentions that by using the TIBI methodology, you’re living your life quarter by quarter. Which means that you have a new goal for your career, a new goal for your romantic relationship, and a new goal for your health every quarter. Accordingly, you define the goal, define the why behind the goal, then list the three or four key behaviors associated with the goal. Then how are you going to measure achieving the goal and the timeframe. The timeframe is always the end of the quarter.&nbsp;</p><p>During this podcast John mentions that it’s critical to get the TIBI app from the Apple or Google app store. The primary purpose of the app is to measure your key behaviors every Sunday morning. And it’s very simple. You are allowed in the app to track seven key behaviors on your three different goals. And so the process begins by each Sunday morning recording your numbers for the most current week. Then once you’ve got the numbers in for the current week, the second step. You compare your current week’s numbers to your goal and also maybe your prior week performance. Then you see what you need to improve on. This takes all of about three minutes. But it’s incredibly powerful.</p><p>During this podcast John and Kelly also talk about the idea of challenging your subconscious mind with deadlines. John got this idea from a podcast done by Ed Mylett on the subconscious mind. He was saying that the subconscious mind responds to deadlines. Try that in your life. Something that you’re trying to figure out, give your subconscious mind a deadline for doing so.&nbsp;</p><p>Buy John’s book, <em>THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it</em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/MISSING-SECRET-Legendary-Think-12-minute-ebook/dp/B0DPQPB55B" target="_blank"> here</a>.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

The creation of your thoughts – you can influence it. And John presented an interesting concept. The thoughts that are going on in your head on an ongoing basis determine both your level of success as well as your enjoyment of life. No one denies that. But what’s interesting is you can influence your thoughts when they are created. Let me restate that. When they are created.</p><p>And here’s the opportunity. 95% of your daily thoughts and actions are unconscious. The fact that they are unconscious is actually the opportunity. Because if the opposite were true, and the majority of your thoughts were conscious, it be impossible to control your thoughts. But the key thing to appreciate is that since they are unconscious, that’s actually the opportunity. The vast majority of thoughts actually originate in the subconscious mind. And by properly programming the subconscious mind with the succinct articulation of your life each day, exactly what you want to accomplish and how you’re going to accomplish your goals, that’s the repetition that influences the subconscious mind. That’s what then causes the right thoughts to happen at their creation. Which then in turn causes the right actions to happen.</p><p>But the big take away from today’s episode is that you can influence the creation of your thoughts. The other big take away is that 98% of people don’t do anything to influence their subconscious mind. That’s exactly why so many people only use their conscious mind to set intentions. Then they are puzzled as to why those intentions never turn into reality. Well it’s because they’re not influencing the part of their brain that controls their actions. The subconscious mind. Therefore the needed actions don’t happen to turn those intentions into reality. All that is fixed with our 12 minute a day morning routine that influences your mindset. More specifically influences the creation of your thoughts in the mechanism that is generating your thoughts. The subconscious mind.</p><p>Buy John’s book, <em>THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it</em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/MISSING-SECRET-Legendary-Think-12-minute-ebook/dp/B0DPQPB55B" target="_blank"> here</a>.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

It’s not a linear process. In this episode John goes into eight moments in his life where something happened and he got materially more enlightened. The first time was when he read the book psycho cybernetics at 19. Then it 27 he discovered what his special talent was. The ability to make the complex simple. Then at 30 he saw the power of being an entrepreneur. Then when he was 48 he read the book younger next year. Changed his perspective on exercising and taking care of himself. Then at 50, figuring out the full secret of think and grow Rich. And how 95% of a person’s daily thoughts and actions are unconscious.</p><p>Then it is late 50s discovering the six components of doing his best – from observing specifically what took his income to $5 million a year. Then when John was in is 60s getting enlightened by Darren Hardy that only&nbsp;2% of people are driven. Where more success is a necessity, not be merely a preference. Then in the last couple years John got enlightened to the disc profile. That other people are not like him.

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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.

And to illustrate this idea, Kelly shares something interesting going on in her recruitment business. Her company wants to go to eight figures a year in revenues. But they can’t seem to get past seven figures a year in revenues. When you step back, Kelly is both the problem and the solution. Her company is a reflection of her. And while they are very successful, the company isn’t as successful as Kelly would like it to be.</p><p>And through self-awareness, and tuning into reality, Kelly realized that she needed to go to someone that was already playing the game at a higher level in the recruitment business. So she finds someone in Denver. She didn’t know what she didn’t know. But she knew there were things she didn’t know. And now from seeking the wisdom of someone playing the game at a higher level, she has transformed her business. And she saw in detail that she was the problem in terms of how she was hiring and compensating her people. Now she’s getting much higher quality people with a better comp plan. This is a perfect example of you’re both the problem and the solution.</p><p>During this podcast John and Kelly talk about the high-performance habit of deep thinking twice a week. This is the skill that allows you to tune into reality and also figure out your business. There is a constant dance between the conscious mind and the subconscious mind. So during these deep thinking sessions, that’s all conscious mind figuring out your business and your life. And then when you figure it out, the enlightenment is reflected on your life GPS template.

Coming to grips with that. John talks about when this really came home in his life. It was when his mom was dying of pancreatic cancer when he was 50 years old. At the same time John was engrossed in reading think and grow Rich probably 20 times to figure out the full secret of that legendary book. And as he would go to the hospital every night to see his mom, after he saw her he would cry his eyes out in the hospital parking lot for like 45 minutes every night. John had never experienced anything so gut wrenching. What he came to realize was that he felt like he was letting his mom down with his average life.</p><p>After his mom and dad had given him all the advantages. That’s when John really came to appreciate how precious his life as he saw the gift of life leaving his mom. And in the end, that feeling of letting his mom down with his life with like rocket fuel in causing John to go deeper than anyone on the planet ever had to figure out the full secret of think and grow Rich. And the essence of what John created with his 12 minute a day technique is a way of doing life. Most people are just winging life. They don’t have an actual way of doing life. But that’s what the think it be it 12 minute a day methodology is. An actual way of doing life. During this podcast John also brings up another concept. You’re the problem and you’re the solution. Whatever problem you have in your life you are the problem.</p><p>But here’s the good news. You’re also the solution. Once you grasp this, it’s tremendously empowering. And you use the TIBI methodology to implement the solution. And then finally John and Kelly talk about the process of enlightenment. It’s not linear. There are pivotal moments in your life where your level of enlightenment goes much higher. From learning one or two key things from someone more enlightening you are.</p><p>Buy John’s book, <em>THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it</em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/MISSING-SECRET-Legendary-Think-12-minute-ebook/dp/B0DPQPB55B" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> here</a>.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>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 &amp; 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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>John’s technique was profiled on the cover of Time Magazine.

John gives two examples. A few years ago he noticed that the only time he ever really lost his temper was at technology. And he would get angry out loud. Then he stepped back from that and realized – what good does that do. It only made him more stressed. So he decided to change that. And he put that enlightenment in his daily visualization. Well immediately, that stopped. Because he trained his subconscious mind to not get angry out loud.</p><p>Another example John had is this. It’s in driving. Not long ago John became aware of the disc profile. And how there’s four different distinct personality types. Which one you are is a function of do you do things fast or do you do them slow. And whether you’re people oriented or task oriented. John is a D. He does things fast and is task oriented. As an example, his wife Ginger is a C. She basically a perfectionist. Does things slow and is task oriented. As all this relates to driving, John noticed that in the past he would get frustrated at people that were going slow. Especially if he was on a 2 Lane Rd. and he couldn’t pass them. Then from becoming more enlightened he’s like okay that person that’s going slow is just a different personality type than he is. They have a right to go slow just like John feels like he has a right to go fast. And he learned with regards to patients to see who has control and when he doesn’t have control, just lean into patience. He then put that in his visualization. And immediately he became a much more patient driver.</p><p>Kelly then mentions a great Mel Robbins podcast on communication. The essence of the podcast is what you say is who you are. You compress your personality into what you say. And during the podcast they talk about some great communication tips. As an example, if someone ever insult you, make them repeat it. Go, what did you say? Would you repeat that? You are delaying their gratification. Flipping it back on them. You take the fun out of the insult for them.</p><p>Another tip is if you ever have to give bad news. You want to say what you need to say immediately. Jump right in. Whatever you’re trying to craft the exact right words when you’re giving someone bad news, it’s agonizing for the other person. Don’t inch by inch it. Get right into the bad news. And tell them you’re being straight with them because you know they can handle the truth. Another tip is to have a standard way of answering how are you. And maybe pause before you answer. This conveys to the other person that you really are giving them a thoughtful answer. And of course using the think it be it methodology, you can easily incorporate these communication tips into your visualization so they show up automatically without thinking.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

John points out that the fact that your partner has either estrogen or testosterone coursing through their veins. And that’s radically different than what you have coursing through your veins. John points out that people are who they are based on their genetics and what is come into their consciousness to this point. </p><p>But the third factor is do they have estrogen or testosterone coursing through their veins. The net effect is that other people don’t look at the world like you do. And this is particular true if they are of the other sex. So you have to dial that in as you interact with your partner. And let it be okay for them to not see the world just like you do. But it’s extremely valuable to do what Kelly suggests which is to convey to your partner what you need, so they are not guessing. </p><p>John goes on to say that lately he really has been contemplating this idea of the art of living.

John mentions that the first 15 days is just creating the habit of doing it consistently every day. And not worrying about doing all the things you say you’re going to do in the visualization. Rather, in the first 15 days, just create the habit of reading it every day. Then about 15 days in, the second phase kicks in. Now you’re embracing taking the actions you’re articulating in your life GPS template. Then the third phase kicks in about 21 days in. Right actions start happening automatically. </p><p>John goes on to say that then in the 30 to 60 day timeframe, you’ll experience some guilt. But that’s a good thing. Guilt is coming into your life because you’re not doing some the things you said you’re going to do. But that guilt gets you back on track. After about 30 days of guilt, it goes away. Because you simply find that it’s easier to actually do what you say you’re going to do than to suffer with the guilt. One of the other things that comes up is John talks about how the initial visualization is combination of his words and the clients words. Well that’s how it has to be to launch the visualization. But as quickly as possible, the client is instructed to make all the words their words. Change any words you don’t like or don’t resonate with you. But don’t change the structure of the template. </p><p>John also points out that sometimes people are being introduced to new concepts like intellectually how to deal with other people. John points out that in the visualization it’s noted that people are a combination of their genetics and what has come into their consciousness to this point in their life. And it’s important to acknowledge which of the four different personality types of person is according to the disc profile. Sometimes all this is a new concept for someone. And so they have to wrap their heads around new concepts as well. So that’s an overview of what you’ll experience in the first 30 to 60 days.&nbsp;</p><p>Buy John’s book, <em>THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it</em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/MISSING-SECRET-Legendary-Think-12-minute-ebook/dp/B0DPQPB55B" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> here</a>.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

Kelly is a great example of doing this. Recently she went to one of her competitors in the recruiting space. That is more successful than she is. Visited their offices with a couple of her team members. They learned so much. Now they’re in the process of implementing what they learned in their own business. Now that is working smarter not harder. </p><p>John then talks about the difference in his life of working smarter in his 50s versus working harder in his 30s and 40s. What a difference. In his 50s he was highly organized with a system where he planned his day the night before, time blocked his days, and identified his top three priorities. Then he was deep thinking two times a week. Thirdly he was growing and growing strategically every week relative to what you want to accomplish. And lastly he understood how the human mind works. And it gave him immense control over his life. None of that was happening in his 30s and 40s. And that’s why he was able to&nbsp; 25X his income in his 50s over what he had made in his 30s and 40s. </p><p>Today most people don’t really think that deeply about the concept of working smarter. And when people talk about it, they’re not really specific about it. Well it’s simple. Be highly organized, be deep thinking two times a week. Be growing with a system, and understand how the human mind works. And appreciate the profound ramifications of 95% of your daily thoughts and actions being unconscious. You have to gain control over those unconscious daily actions. Otherwise you’re playing the game of life at 5% your potential.</p><p>Buy John’s book, <em>THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it</em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/MISSING-SECRET-Legendary-Think-12-minute-ebook/dp/B0DPQPB55B" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> here</a>.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>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 &amp; 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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.

And you actually don’t have to be the smartest person in the world. Just be a conduit of learning. Continually learning from experts.

And they discuss what is the effect on both of us and them. During this podcast John points out that sometimes the difference of opinion has no real impact. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. And everybody processes information differently. That’s why there is a difference of opinion. But sometimes there is more at stake. It’s more than that a difference of opinion. It’s right or wrong. The opinion that is right is always the one that is closest to the truth, or what we would define as reality. The truth is reality.</p><p>John talks about Elon Musk sending an email to all 2 million federal employees telling them to respond to see if there are real people behind the emails. As John and Kelly discussed it, they had different opinions. Processing the same information but differently. But it’s just a matter of opinion. Then John talked about the Ukraine more. Trump saying Ukraine started the war. A clear falsehood. Now we’ve moved from something that is just an opinion to something with real consequences. Over 1 million people have been killed in this war. Biggest war in Europe since World War II. Clearly Trump is wrong. Ukraine clearly did not start the war. So Trump is clearly wrong. And the decisions he’s making for the United States are to our detriment. Because he’s ignoring the truth. And that’s the point. When people have a different opinion, sometimes it’s just a matter of opinion.</p><p>But sometimes there is way more at stake. Key is to tune into what is the truth. The position that is closest to the truth, which is reality, is the opinion that is correct. John talks about teaching his think it be it methodology to his class at the University of Texas. Most of them are fully on board. Excited about what they’re learning. But if a few are resisting it, then they are doing it at their own peril. Because their own successes is on the line. And to deny something that clearly is proven to be true and based on science, is to their detriment.

As you may know, this legendary book that has been read by 150 million people, says there’s a secret for success. But the author only reveals half the secret. John was blessed to figure out the full secret and a 12 minute a day technique to apply it. It caused his income to go up by 25 times over the $200,000 – $300,000 a year he was making the prior 20 years. Also met his wife from doing this. The bottom line is this 12 minute day methodology gives a person immense control over their lives. Beyond what they’ve ever experienced before.</p><p>And here’s what the full secret is. What you envision in detail, with emotion, on a daily basis is what shows up in your life. What that means is you create immense clarity about your life. Exactly the person you want to be, exactly what you want to accomplish, and precisely how you’re going to achieve your clearly defined goals. Then you put that clarity on a template. So that it succinct enough to read it or listen to it in 12 minutes a day. Also allows for the science of the subconscious mind to be properly applied. But once that clarity is on the template, you feed it to yourself every day. After approximately 21 days, the science kicks in and the magic happens. And what you’re feeding yourself starts to show up automatically without thinking in your thoughts and actions.</p><p>Once you begin doing this, three things happen. First, you feel immense CONTROL over your life. Of course you would, you’re feeding the succinct articulation of your life yourself each day. The second thing you feel is confidence. Which is a direct result of the control you feel. And the third thing you experience is the right actions and thoughts start happening automatically without thinking. In this podcast John goes on to say that a person’s way of doing life comes down to their morning routine. Everybody has a morning routine. But only 2% of people have a morning routine that impacts their mindset. And that’s significant because your success in life as well as your enjoyment in life comes down to the thoughts that are going on in your head on an ongoing basis.</p><p>So if you want to have a productive and happy life, you have to influence your mindset every morning in your morning routine. Otherwise you are innately wired for survival. Which causes you to live your life being fear-based and reactive.

As you may know, this legendary book that has been read by 150 million people, says there’s a secret for success. But the author only reveals half the secret. John was blessed to figure out the full secret and a 12 minute a day technique to apply it. It caused his income to go up by 25 times over the $200,000 – $300,000 a year he was making the prior 20 years. Also met his wife from doing this. The bottom line is this 12 minute day methodology gives a person immense control over their lives. Beyond what they’ve ever experienced before.</p><p>And here’s what the full secret is. What you envision in detail, with emotion, on a daily basis is what shows up in your life. What that means is you create immense clarity about your life. Exactly the person you want to be, exactly what you want to accomplish, and precisely how you’re going to achieve your clearly defined goals. Then you put that clarity on a template. So that it succinct enough to read it or listen to it in 12 minutes a day. Also allows for the science of the subconscious mind to be properly applied. But once that clarity is on the template, you feed it to yourself every day. After approximately 21 days, the science kicks in and the magic happens. And what you’re feeding yourself starts to show up automatically without thinking in your thoughts and actions.</p><p>Once you begin doing this, three things happen. First, you feel immense CONTROL over your life. Of course you would, you’re feeding the succinct articulation of your life yourself each day. The second thing you feel is confidence. Which is a direct result of the control you feel. And the third thing you experience is the right actions and thoughts start happening automatically without thinking. In this podcast John goes on to say that a person’s way of doing life comes down to their morning routine. Everybody has a morning routine. But only 2% of people have a morning routine that impacts their mindset. And that’s significant because your success in life as well as your enjoyment in life comes down to the thoughts that are going on in your head on an ongoing basis.</p><p>So if you want to have a productive and happy life, you have to influence your mindset every morning in your morning routine. Otherwise you are innately wired for survival. Which causes you to live your life being fear-based and reactive. As John and Kelly dig deeper into this they talk about how feeding the succinct articulation of your life yourself each day profoundly impacts your identity. Who you are. It also impacts the filter for the brain. Your reticular activating system. It gives the filter for your brain immense clarity to bring into your life the things that you want.

Because the mind thrives on order. The subject came up because John is now teaching his simple organizational system to his class at the University of Texas. Where you plan your day the night before, where you time block your day, and you identify your top three priorities each day. In John’s new book, he provides this to do system to purchasers of the book. John says that the starting point for being highly successful is being highly organized. Like a nine or 10 on a scale of 1 to 10.</p><p>John talks about how his system is pen and paper, rather than digital. John makes the point that you do not want a to do system that is digital. Because it promotes shallow thinking. With social media today, we live in a flip through culture. And by the nature of that, it causes us to be shallow thinking. John gives a great example of that. Where person can know that 95% of their daily thoughts and actions are unconscious but they’re not thinking deep enough to understand the profound ramifications of that. It’s because we live in a shallow thinking culture. And when your daily to do’s are tied to your computer in the form of being a digital system, it promotes shallow thinking.</p><p>To wrap up this episode John talks about the power of using chat GPT to refine emails. Or to even go deep on a particular subject. At the end of this podcast he explains how chat GPT took his understanding of the above-noted fact that 95% of your daily thoughts and actions are unconscious and saw how chat GPT went deeper into the ramifications than John had.&nbsp;</p><p>Buy John’s book, <em>THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it </em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/MISSING-SECRET-Legendary-Think-12-minute-ebook/dp/B0DPQPB55B" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

As some of you know, John is really into his health. And in addition to his regular doctor, he has a relationship with a health organization called humanaugt health. Where he pays $350 a month and gets his blood tested four times a year. Meets with his doctor once quarter. And the doctor prescribes different peptides or supplements as appropriate. As part of this, John took a mental dexterity test. It involved connecting a hodgepodge of letters and numbers on the screen. And the test was to see how quick he can do it.</p><p>John realized that while this is more mental dexterity than intelligence, mental dexterity really isn’t all that valuable unless you’re a professional gamer or a fighter pilot. John notes that his intelligence, or what is left of it, has evolved to him being really good at seeing the solutions to problems and getting at the essence of what creates success. Kelly then talks about emotional intelligence. And John and Kelly get into how most people are not very self aware. They embrace being victims but don’t even realize it. They focus on only talking about themselves and not realizing it. John mentioned that now that he goes on lots of podcasts to support his book, he often asked people a question at the start of the podcast. How do they create success? Most people don’t really have a way of creating success. Accordingly, there just winging life and re-creating their past.</p><p>In this podcast John explains how he creates success. Here’s what he says. My daily actions determine my success in each area of my life. 95% my daily actions are unconscious, are on autopilot. Accordingly, I take control those unconscious daily actions. By feeding the succinct articulation of my desired life to myself each day in my morning routine. Then right actions happen automatically, and I have a powerful force pulling me forward to my desired life.&nbsp;</p><p>Buy John’s book, <em>THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it </em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/MISSING-SECRET-Legendary-Think-12-minute-ebook/dp/B0DPQPB55B" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

As some of you know, John is really into his health. And in addition to his regular doctor, he has a relationship with a health organization called humanaugt health. Where he pays $350 a month and gets his blood tested four times a year. Meets with his doctor once quarter. And the doctor prescribes different peptides or supplements as appropriate. As part of this, John took a mental dexterity test. It involved connecting a hodgepodge of letters and numbers on the screen. And the test was to see how quick he can do it.</p><p>John realized that while this is more mental dexterity than intelligence, mental dexterity really isn’t all that valuable unless you’re a professional gamer or a fighter pilot. John notes that his intelligence, or what is left of it, has evolved to him being really good at seeing the solutions to problems and getting at the essence of what creates success. Kelly then talks about emotional intelligence. And John and Kelly get into how most people are not very self aware. They embrace being victims but don’t even realize it. They focus on only talking about themselves and not realizing it. John mentioned that now that he goes on lots of podcasts to support his book, he often asked people a question at the start of the podcast. How do they create success? Most people don’t really have a way of creating success. Accordingly, there just winging life and re-creating their past.</p><p>In this podcast John explains how he creates success. Here’s what he says. My daily actions determine my success in each area of my life. 95% my daily actions are unconscious, are on autopilot. Accordingly, I take control those unconscious daily actions. By feeding the succinct articulation of my desired life to myself each day in my morning routine. Then right actions happen automatically, and I have a powerful force pulling me forward to my desired life.&nbsp;</p><p>Buy John’s book, <em>THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it </em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/MISSING-SECRET-Legendary-Think-12-minute-ebook/dp/B0DPQPB55B" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>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 &amp; 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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>John’s technique was profiled on the cover of Time Magazine.

In discussing this, Kelly notes that she was a saver from a young age. Literally putting aside 20% a year. She was taught this by her dad who made her read the classic book Richest Man in Babylon. It truly is a fabulous book that really explains the concept of saving and compounding interest. John points out that he wasn’t that enlightened when he was younger. He didn’t really save in his 30s and 40s because he thought he would hit it big at some point in his entrepreneurial career. Fortunately he did. But it wasn’t a good strategy not to be embracing savings from a young age.</p><p>John talks about how when he sold his company he got a large amount of money. And his idea was he just had to get about 5% return on the money in order to pay all his living expenses. But he discovered something he wish he had been alerted to at a younger age. Investment planners and money managers always tell people to diversify as opposed to investing their money in the S&amp;P 500. With the idea of avoiding that 30% drop in the market that happens about every 10 years. But John found that not to be good strategy. Inevitably, that strategy of diversification would maybe cost John 10% a year of less returns than he would’ve gotten if he had invested in the S&amp;P 500.</p><p>So John is now at the point of embracing the idea of just putting his money in the S&amp;P 500 and not doing anything else. This is actually the strategy of Warren Buffett. He says that by investing in the S&amp;P 500, you’re investing in the United States. Which is the most powerful and innovative country in the world. And in the long run, that works out. Then John goes on to talk about the concept of never loaning money to anyone. Make that your golden rule. Kelly says she never learns money with the expectation of getting it back. And the last tidbit John talks about is never doing private investments or limited partnerships. Only invest in the S&amp;P 500 and publicly traded stocks.</p><p>The last thing John and Kelly talk about is clarity. Most people have about 40% clarity in their life. Watch what happens when you get it up to 100% clarity and you feed that clarity to yourself each day. Game changing.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

I thought I’d be further along by now. Both Kelly and John have experienced this. Kelly experienced it when she was about 35 and finally making the leap to entrepreneurship. She always envisioned that she would be an entrepreneur from a very young age. But at 35 she’d never made the leap. John experienced this when he was both 40 and 50.</p><p>One of the things to do to overcome this is you must establish a personal mission statement. Something that really drives your life. And it’s got to be&nbsp;emotional. And it’s got to be something beyond yourself the drives your life. That’s really the starting point for accelerating your success in life. John talks about then discovering a success formula. And giving up hope by the time he turned 50. Ironically, he discovered the success formula in the most logical place at 50. The top book in the world on success. But it wasn’t on the surface. It was buried deep inside Think and Grow Rich. And that’s the essence of this podcast.</p><p>The reason lots of people feel like they should be further along with their life is because they’re just winging life. They don’t have an actual way of doing life. And the effect is they keep on re-creating the past. During this podcast John and Kelly talk about the power of not only having a success formula, such as our 12 minute a day methodology, but also being self-aware. John and Kelly talk about their journey of becoming more enlightened.&nbsp;</p><p>Buy John’s book, <em>THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it </em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/MISSING-SECRET-Legendary-Think-12-minute-ebook/dp/B0DPQPB55B" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

I thought I’d be further along by now. Both Kelly and John have experienced this. Kelly experienced it when she was about 35 and finally making the leap to entrepreneurship. She always envisioned that she would be an entrepreneur from a very young age. But at 35 she’d never made the leap. John experienced this when he was both 40 and 50.</p><p>One of the things to do to overcome this is you must establish a personal mission statement. Something that really drives your life. And it’s got to be&nbsp;emotional. And it’s got to be something beyond yourself the drives your life. That’s really the starting point for accelerating your success in life. John talks about then discovering a success formula. And giving up hope by the time he turned 50. Ironically, he discovered the success formula in the most logical place at 50. The top book in the world on success. But it wasn’t on the surface. It was buried deep inside Think and Grow Rich. And that’s the essence of this podcast.</p><p>The reason lots of people feel like they should be further along with their life is because they’re just winging life. They don’t have an actual way of doing life. And the effect is they keep on re-creating the past. During this podcast John and Kelly talk about the power of not only having a success formula, such as our 12 minute a day methodology, but also being self-aware. John and Kelly talk about their journey of becoming more enlightened.&nbsp;</p><p>Buy John’s book, <em>THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it </em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/MISSING-SECRET-Legendary-Think-12-minute-ebook/dp/B0DPQPB55B" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>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 &amp; 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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>Reach out to John at john@thinkitbeit.com</p><p>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-mitchell-76483654/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-mitchell-76483654/</a></p><p>Kelly Hatfield</p><p>Kelly Hatfield is an entrepreneur at heart. She believes wholeheartedly in the power of the ripple effect and has built several successful companies aimed at helping others make a greater impact in their businesses and lives.</p><p>She has been in the recruiting, HR, and leadership development space for over 25 years and loves serving others.

A concept we hear a lot about today. But what is mindset. John and Kelly discuss this at length. And John has a very simple explanation of mindset. It’s controlling your thoughts. And here’s the significance of controlling your thoughts. Your daily actions determine your success in life. Every action must first be preceded by I thought. Accordingly, when you control your thoughts, you control your actions.</p><p>Then John points out the most significant thing he ever learned in his life. That 95% your daily thoughts and actions are unconscious. Accordingly, if they are unconscious then your subconscious mind therefore controls your life. And to gain control of your thoughts and actions, again 95% of which are unconscious, you must proactively manipulate the subconscious mind. So logical it hurts.</p><p>During this podcast John Kelly discuss the bifurcation of society. Only 2% of people today have control over themselves and 98% of people do not. We have all sorts of technological advances going on in society, but people’s ability to control themselves is decreasing. And John points out that the differentiator between the mega successful and the moderately successful is control of self and focus. Control of self is your daily actions. Focus is your thoughts. Mindset is all about controlling your thoughts. And that’s what our 12 minute day methodology is all about. Impacting the creation of your thoughts. So the right actions happen automatically without thinking.</p><p>Buy John’s book, <em>THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it </em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/MISSING-SECRET-Legendary-Think-12-minute-ebook/dp/B0DPQPB55B" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

That’s not a good thing. Because it causes 75% of our thoughts to be fear-based, we’re reactive rather than proactive on our important agenda, and we’re profoundly resistant to change. Now those things were actually what kept us alive 50,000 years ago, but it’s exactly the opposite of how we need to be in order to be productive, creative and happy in the modern world. So you have to overcome being wired for survival.</p><p>But there’s other aspects as well that come with being wired for survival. It causes us to be lazy, causes us to be self focused. An example of being self focused is what you experienced during the Christmas season. Seeing friends and family. How often did they ask about you? Probably not very often. Because most people are so totally self focused and they’re not even aware of it. But that’s the effect of being wired for survival. And you overcome being wired for survival using the 12 minute a day technique John and Kelly talk about.</p><p>And John brings up something else that’s interesting. There’s a fundamental problem with the success and human achievement business. The problem is it doesn’t materially impact people’s success. Because the industry by and large misses one fundamental fact. 95% of a person’s daily thoughts and actions are unconscious. In the success and human achievement field, everyone is pitching different strategies. Things like focus on what moves the needle, be highly organized, have a system for personal growth. And hundreds of more of strategies.</p><p>But you don’t need more strategies. You need to be able to take the great strategies you already know and make them happen automatically without thinking. So when the success and human achievement field pitches different strategies to your conscious mind, all it is doing is impacting your intentions. Since 95% your daily thoughts and actions are unconscious, your subconscious mind controls your life and your success. And therefore you have to have a methodology that impacts the subconscious mind. Which is what the think it be it 12 minute a day methodology actually does.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

Many students came up afterwards to discuss the feeling of not good enough. And John realizes that’s a feeling many people probably have. The source of this is that we are all wired for survival. It causes 75% of our thoughts to be fear-based. And we’re reactive rather than proactive on our important agenda. That’s exactly why people feel like they’re not enough.

Using the think it be it 12 minute a day methodology, from the conscious mind standpoint, it causes a person to have a deeper understanding of himself.

Your spirituality – you can re-create who you are. John talks about his class at the University of Texas that he is currently teaching. He’s re-creating 36 lies with intention. As he pointed out to his class, who you are today is a function of good influences and bad influences. That’s created good attributes in yourself and some negative characteristics that you would want to change. But all that happened by happenstance. Very little of who you are today was created with intention and clarity. As John points out to his class, let’s start with a blank sheet of paper. Let’s create the ideal you. And then once we do that with the conscious mind, let’s feed it to the subconscious mind. So that that’s who you actually become. As reflected in your thoughts and actions. As John pointed out in this podcast, the same process would apply whether you’re 20 years old, 40 years old or 60 years old. So the power of this 12 minute a day methodology as your new morning routine allows you to impact your spirituality and literally re-create who you are. Affirming all the good things and eliminating the bad things. As John points out, this methodology is like crisper for the soul. In the podcast John talks about how this is all about proactively manipulating the subconscious mind. That’s what the top book in the world on success, Think and Grow Rich, is all about. John gives examples of how one proactively manipulates the subconscious mind. In this episode John also updates our listeners on the AI algorithm that he has that is used to customize his life GPS template to our listeners unique life. The newest addition is incorporating chatGPT at the suggestion of Tony Esposito. Now chat GPT is becoming part of the algorithm itself. As an example, using the algorithm you have to answer a series of questions. And those questions have word limits. If you go over the word limit, you can now bring chatGPT into it to give three versions of your answer that fits within the space limitations. And you can pick the answer you like the best. Big time saver. You can also use chatGPT to literally answer some the questions and see if you like the response. The big take away from this episode is that you can re-create your identity using this 12 minute a day methodology.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>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.

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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.

Kelly has built her business career around asking great questions. It plays out throughout her life. John talks about using questions to influence people regarding embracing think it be it. As an example, sometimes he will ask a person how do you create success in your life. That’s a question they probably haven’t been asked before. And so after a minute or two of stumbling around looking for the right answer, it becomes apparent to both John and the person that they don’t really have a way of creating success in their life.</p><p>Then John asks the killer second question. How’s that working for you? John then politely and respectfully gives them the answer. It’s not working out as well as you would like because you’re just winging life. You don’t actually have a way of doing life. When someone asked John how he creates success, he has a pretty clear answer. Your daily actions determine your success in each area of your life. 95% of your daily actions are unconscious. Therefore I gain control over my unconscious daily actions by feeding the succinct articulation of my life to myself each day. That rewires my autopilot. And causes the right actions happen automatically without thinking. And I have a powerful force pulling myself forward to my desired life. John gives another example. Oftentimes he will say that the most significant thing he ever learned in his life is that 95% of a person’s daily actions are unconscious. And so he will ask the question to someone as to whether they believe that or not. More often than not, they say they do believe it.</p><p>Then the second killer question. So what are you doing about that? Do you see the profound implications of that? The Takeaway is using questions are profound. In the last half of the episode John and Kelly talk about this idea of deep thinking two times a week. A powerful technique that is part of the think it be it methodology. It’s a three-step process. The first step is just sit down and write in your thinking tablet anything that comes up for the first 10 minutes or so. Then the second step. Figure out a question to ask yourself. Usually regarding what your biggest challenge at the moment is. Then the third step is to recap what you learned and defined the action steps. John and Kelly discuss in the think it be it methodology this ongoing dance between the conscious mind and the subconscious mind. The deep thinking technique two times a week is influencing the conscious mind. Then the daily reading of one’s visualization is impacting the subconscious mind.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

For Kelly, it was reaffirming her resilience. For John, it was learning the disc profile. Understanding that he is a D. He’s an action taker and does things fast and is focused on tasks. Whereas John’s precious wife Ginger is a C. She does things slow and is a perfectionist. Also focused on tasks. This has been powerful in John’s life to understand this because we all have a natural tendency to think that people who don’t see things the way that we see them are simply wrong or inferior. Not so. They’re just processing information differently. Appreciating this subtle difference is powerful.</p><p>And so the takeaway lesson is take the disc profile and understand the personality type you are and the personality type your spouse is. And understand your weaknesses so that you can compensate for them. During this podcast John also talks about the things he learned from his class at the University of Texas. So many interesting things. Most people didn’t realize they are WIRED FOR SURVIVAL. And the effect of that is that 75% of their thoughts are fear-based and they’re reactive rather than proactive on their important agenda.</p><p>The other big thing they learned is that 95% OF THEIR DAILY ACTIONS ARE UNCONSCIOUS. And one’s daily actions determine your success in each area of your life. And as John points out to them, the think it be it 12 minute a day technique is an actual way of doing life. And what could be a better way of doing life than applying the central concept of the top book in the world on success to your life. The bottom line, it gives you an edge in life.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>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 &amp; 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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>John’s technique was profiled on the cover of Time Magazine.

John gives two examples. A few years ago he noticed that the only time he ever really lost his temper was at technology. And he would get angry out loud. Then he stepped back from that and realized – what good does that do. It only made him more stressed. So he decided to change that. And he put that enlightenment in his daily visualization. Well immediately, that stopped. Because he trained his subconscious mind to not get angry out loud.</p><p>Another example John had is this. It’s in driving. Not long ago John became aware of the disc profile. And how there’s four different distinct personality types. Which one you are is a function of do you do things fast or do you do them slow. And whether you’re people oriented or task oriented. John is a D. He does things fast and is task oriented. As an example, his wife Ginger is a C. She basically a perfectionist. Does things slow and is task oriented. As all this relates to driving, John noticed that in the past he would get frustrated at people that were going slow. Especially if he was on a 2 Lane Rd. and he couldn’t pass them. Then from becoming more enlightened he’s like okay that person that’s going slow is just a different personality type than he is. They have a right to go slow just like John feels like he has a right to go fast. And he learned with regards to patients to see who has control and when he doesn’t have control, just lean into patience. He then put that in his visualization. And immediately he became a much more patient driver.</p><p>Kelly then mentions a great Mel Robbins podcast on communication. The essence of the podcast is what you say is who you are. You compress your personality into what you say. And during the podcast they talk about some great communication tips. As an example, if someone ever insult you, make them repeat it. Go, what did you say? Would you repeat that? You are delaying their gratification. Flipping it back on them. You take the fun out of the insult for them.</p><p>Another tip is if you ever have to give bad news. You want to say what you need to say immediately. Jump right in. Whatever you’re trying to craft the exact right words when you’re giving someone bad news, it’s agonizing for the other person. Don’t inch by inch it. Get right into the bad news. And tell them you’re being straight with them because you know they can handle the truth. Another tip is to have a standard way of answering how are you. And maybe pause before you answer. This conveys to the other person that you really are giving them a thoughtful answer. And of course using the think it be it methodology, you can easily incorporate these communication tips into your visualization so they show up automatically without thinking.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

And when you feed the succinct articulation of your life to yourself each day you create immense order in the mind. And as Kelly points out, it makes you feel lighter. It causes all those half thoughts that are going on in your head to either go away or become full thoughts. To drive home this idea that the mind thrives on order, John points out that’s why you enjoy music. A few years back, John learned how to play blues guitar. And in the process of doing so, he learned the timing in music. So in this podcast, he plays the song Billie Jean by Michael Jackson. Explains the timing and then counts it. This is a vivid example of how the mind thrives on order. To wrap things up, John makes a point of how one’s success in life as well as one’s enjoyment of life comes down to the thoughts that are going on in your head on an ongoing basis. So simple but many people don’t get this. But for the few that do, it’s life-changing. The think it be it methodology influences the creation of your thoughts.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>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 &amp; 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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>John’s technique was profiled on the cover of Time Magazine.

They make the five core principles profoundly simple. It starts with what determines your success. It’s your daily actions. That’s it. The cumulative effect of your daily actions determine your success in each area of your life. Then the second principle. The significance of 95% of your daily actions being unconscious. If your daily actions determine your success, and 95% of your daily actions are unconscious, if you don’t gain control over those unconscious daily actions, you play the game life at 5% of your potential. It should be so obvious that your subconscious mind rules your life as well as how you feel about yourself.</p><p>Then the third principle. Conscious mind versus unconscious mind. Conscious mind sets the intention and is influenced by logic. Subconscious mind controls your everyday actions and ongoing thoughts. Influenced only by repetition. The classic example is losing weight. Conscious mind sets the intention to lose weight based on logic of the health benefits. But people often times fail to lose weight not from lack of intention. But rather from not influencing the part of them that controls their daily actions of exercising and controlling what they eat. The subconscious mind.&nbsp;The fourth principle is the impact of being wired for survival. It’s three things. 75% of your thoughts are fear-based, your reactive rather than proactive on your important agenda. And you're profoundly resistant to change. If you do nothing in your morning routine to override being wired for survival, you live your life fear-based and reactive.</p><p>The 12 minute a day morning routine overrides your innate programming. Instead of having an antiquated operating system gearing your life to be fear-based and reactive, let’s install the 21st century operating system the wires you to be productive, creative and happy. But you have to put in the software every day. Takes 12 minutes a day. Then the last concept. Your subconscious mind is either your greatest asset or your greatest nemesis. Since 95% of your daily thoughts and actions are unconscious, obviously if you gain control over that it’s your greatest asset. Alternatively, if you don’t and you allow yourself to continue being geared toward survival, meaning the vast majority of your thoughts are fear-based and your reactive rather than proactive on your important agenda. And you're highly resistant to change, it’s clearly your greatest nemesis.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

She starts out talking about the immense power of being a grower and a learner from a young age. Her dad turned her on to reading when she was 13 years old. And that’s where she got it. And it played a significant factor in her life. Approaching life from a curiosity standpoint and learning whatever she could. In seeking people with wisdom beyond her own wisdom. That has been the hallmark trait of Kelly Hatfield. The other advice she would give the 20-year-old version of herself is to understand how the human mind works. When John taught Kelly the think it be it methodology when she was 44 years old, it was life transforming.</p><p>The key thing she learned was that 95% of her daily thoughts and actions are unconscious. Once you really think about it and appreciate the profound implications, your life is never the same. John and Kelly talk about how lots of people understand this at a surface level. But do nothing about it. But those that really get it, and see its implications, are all about learning think it be it. During this episode John talks about the impact of the think it be it methodology has on one’s identity. He talks about how we are all created haphazardly. Things have happened in our life that were both good and bad that has created good traits and bad traits. And we were raised by our parents in a certain way. But virtually none of it was intentional.</p><p>Even how our parents raised us was largely unintentional. They just did the best they could. And how we were raised was certainly unintentional from our standpoint. We had nothing to do with it. That’s why it’s so cool to be able to re-create yourself with intention and clarity. Create the IDEAL YOU. Then when you create that in the CONSCIOUS MIND, you feed it every day to the subconscious mind through repetition. Then that identity is who you become.

She starts out talking about the immense power of being a grower and a learner from a young age. Her dad turned her on to reading when she was 13 years old. And that’s where she got it. And it played a significant factor in her life. Approaching life from a curiosity standpoint and learning whatever she could. In seeking people with wisdom beyond her own wisdom. That has been the hallmark trait of Kelly Hatfield. The other advice she would give the 20-year-old version of herself is to understand how the human mind works. When John taught Kelly the think it be it methodology when she was 44 years old, it was life transforming.</p><p>The key thing she learned was that 95% of her daily thoughts and actions are unconscious. Once you really think about it and appreciate the profound implications, your life is never the same. John and Kelly talk about how lots of people understand this at a surface level. But do nothing about it. But those that really get it, and see its implications, are all about learning think it be it. During this episode John talks about the impact of the think it be it methodology has on one’s identity. He talks about how we are all created haphazardly. Things have happened in our life that were both good and bad that has created good traits and bad traits. And we were raised by our parents in a certain way. But virtually none of it was intentional.</p><p>Even how our parents raised us was largely unintentional. They just did the best they could. And how we were raised was certainly unintentional from our standpoint. We had nothing to do with it. That’s why it’s so cool to be able to re-create yourself with intention and clarity. Create the IDEAL YOU. Then when you create that in the CONSCIOUS MIND, you feed it every day to the subconscious mind through repetition. Then that identity is who you become. Because that’s when it impacts your thoughts and actions automatically without thinking.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

It was Steve who came up with a line that your subconscious mind is either your greatest asset or your greatest challenge in life. John and Steve bat that idea around. And John points out that the fact that a person is wired for survival is the biggest thing a person has to overcome. And he makes the analogy using higher forms of life coming to earth. If there was a higher life form that came to our planet and observed our planet, they would observed that human beings are wired for survival. And therefore they are fear-based and reactive.</p><p>But in looking at modern society today, it looks like humans have a pretty cushy life. There’s nothing threatening their survival on a daily basis. They all want to be successful and happy. But being fear-based and reactive is exactly the opposite of how they need to be in order to be productive and happy. These enlightened aliens would likely say -well let’s just fix that and let’s go into their DNA and reprogram them. We learned how to do that light years ago. The Takeaway from that story is that you can wait for enlightened beings to come to earth and reprogram you or you can take the responsibility for reprogramming yourself for success right now.</p><p>John then goes on to make a key point. The methodology that he has created is an ACTUAL WAY OF DOING LIFE. NOT ANOTHER STRATEGY. But an actual way of doing life. It takes 12 minutes a day. And from what John can see in the success and human&nbsp;achievement field, nobody else is providing that. And from that way of doing life, which takes 12 minutes a day, you override being wired for survival. And you turn your subconscious mind from being your greatest nemesis into being your greatest asset. Giving yourself immense control over yourself.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

John had a student play the 20-year-old version of John Mitchell. And John played the current version. John then imparted lessons to the 20-year-old version of himself that would make his life way easier and way more successful earlier. And here’s the essence of what it came down to. WORK SMARTER. But most of us are ingrained to just work harder. Big mistake. But the natural question is how do you work smarter?</p><p>At the end of the day, it comes down to understanding HOW THE HUMAN MIND WORKS. And the linchpin issue is that 95% of a person’s daily thoughts and actions are unconscious. Once a person gets the PROFOUND RAMIFICATIONS of that, their life is never the same. The BIG DOMINO DROPS. And here’s why. Your success in life comes down to your DAILY ACTIONS. If 95% your daily actions are unconscious, if you are not gaining control over those unconscious daily actions you’re playing the game of life at 5% of your potential.</p><p>And here’s the other key thing that comes from that. YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND CONTROLS YOUR LIFE. It’s either your greatest asset or your greatest nemesis and challenge. Contemplate that for minute. Here’s why that’s the case. We are all innately WIRED FOR SURVIVAL. That causes 75% of our thoughts be fear-based and we’re reactive rather than proactive on our agenda. Therefore if you do nothing to override being wired for survival, you live life fear-based and reactive every day. It’s a horrible way to live. But if you take control of your subconscious mind, and feed the succinct articulation of your life yourself each day, it’s a whole new ballgame. You’ll now wired yourself for success, rather than being wired for survival.</p><p>So it’s your choice. Do you want your subconscious mind to be your biggest asset, or do you want it to be your greatest challenge that you have to fight every day. It’s up to you. Controlling your subconscious mind only takes 12 minutes a day.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

John had a student play the 20-year-old version of John Mitchell. And John played the current version. John then imparted lessons to the 20-year-old version of himself that would make his life way easier and way more successful earlier. And here’s the essence of what it came down to. WORK SMARTER. But most of us are ingrained to just work harder. Big mistake. But the natural question is how do you work smarter?</p><p>At the end of the day, it comes down to understanding HOW THE HUMAN MIND WORKS. And the linchpin issue is that 95% of a person’s daily thoughts and actions are unconscious. Once a person gets the PROFOUND RAMIFICATIONS of that, their life is never the same. The BIG DOMINO DROPS. And here’s why. Your success in life comes down to your DAILY ACTIONS. If 95% your daily actions are unconscious, if you are not gaining control over those unconscious daily actions you’re playing the game of life at 5% of your potential.</p><p>And here’s the other key thing that comes from that. YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND CONTROLS YOUR LIFE. It’s either your greatest asset or your greatest nemesis and challenge. Contemplate that for minute. Here’s why that’s the case. We are all innately WIRED FOR SURVIVAL. That causes 75% of our thoughts be fear-based and we’re reactive rather than proactive on our agenda. Therefore if you do nothing to override being wired for survival, you live life fear-based and reactive every day. It’s a horrible way to live. But if you take control of your subconscious mind, and feed the succinct articulation of your life yourself each day, it’s a whole new ballgame. You’ll now wired yourself for success, rather than being wired for survival.</p><p>So it’s your choice. Do you want your subconscious mind to be your biggest asset, or do you want it to be your greatest challenge that you have to fight every day. It’s up to you. Controlling your subconscious mind only takes 12 minutes a day.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>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 &amp; 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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>Reach out to John at john@thinkitbeit.com</p><p>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-mitchell-76483654/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-mitchell-76483654/</a></p><p>Kelly Hatfield</p><p>Kelly Hatfield is an entrepreneur at heart.

John opens the discussion by saying that it’s a combination of two things. It gives a person immense control over themselves. But that is coupled with intelligent success strategies. John points out that when he was in his 50s and was blessed to make 25 times the 200 – $300,000 a year he was making the prior 20 years, it was happening because of the immense control he had over himself. But it also included being able to implement key strategies. Such as being highly organized. Planning his day the night before and time blocking his days. Also setting aside time each week to deep think two times a week. Also being a conduit of learning. Where he had a system where he would listen to great content an entrepreneur needed. Such as marketing, employee empowerment, time efficiency.</p><p>He also focused only on what moves the needle. Of course all that was reinforced in his life GPS template. So it was a combination of knowing the right strategies to apply coupled with having immense control over himself that caused his income to go up so much. During this discussion John and Kelly talk about how most people are disappointed that their intentions oftentimes don’t turn into reality. That’s because they are only setting their intentions with their conscious mind. The subconscious mind is responsible for the doing. And since 95% of your daily thoughts and actions are unconscious, you have to influence the subconscious mind. Otherwise you play the game of life at 5% of your potential. John also talks about how the life GPS template has the maturity of a 50-year-old built into it. At the end of the show John and Kelly talk about your thoughts going on in your head most the time determined not only your success but your enjoyment of life.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

Do you ever have the feeling that you’re “not good enough”? This question comes up from a speaker that presented to John’s class at the University of Texas. Many students came up afterwards to discuss the feeling of not good enough. And John realizes that’s a feeling many people probably have. The source of this is that we are all wired for survival. It causes 75% of our thoughts to be fear-based. And we’re reactive rather than proactive on our important agenda. That’s exactly why people feel like they’re not enough. You’re hardwired to feel like you’re not enough. Why would you feel any other way.</p><p>John and Kelly going to talk about how your morning routine has the potential to override&nbsp;being wired for survival. And wires you for success. Your morning routine has to do something to take control of your mindset. One of the big problems today is we live in a shallow culture. Driven by social media and the flip through nature of social media. Using the think it be it 12 minute a day methodology, from the conscious mind standpoint, it causes a person to have a deeper understanding of himself. From that conscious mind understanding a person logically sees that they are good enough. But the real key is the subconscious mind programming. When you feed every day that you are good enough and the reasons why, it overrides being wired for survival.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>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.

Your spirituality – you can re-create who you are. John talks about his class at the University of Texas that he is currently teaching. He’s re-creating 36 lies with intention. As he pointed out to his class, who you are today is a function of good influences and bad influences. That’s created good attributes in yourself and some negative characteristics that you would want to change. But all that happened by happenstance. Very little of who you are today was created with intention and clarity. As John points out to his class, let’s start with a blank sheet of paper. Let’s create the ideal you. And then once we do that with the conscious mind, let’s feed it to the subconscious mind. So that that’s who you actually become. As reflected in your thoughts and actions. As John pointed out in this podcast, the same process would apply whether you’re 20 years old, 40 years old or 60 years old. So the power of this 12 minute a day methodology as your new morning routine allows you to impact your spirituality and literally re-create who you are. Affirming all the good things and eliminating the bad things. As John points out, this methodology is like crisper for the soul. In the podcast John talks about how this is all about proactively manipulating the subconscious mind. That’s what the top book in the world on success, Think and Grow Rich, is all about. John gives examples of how one proactively manipulates the subconscious mind. In this episode John also updates our listeners on the AI algorithm that he has that is used to customize his life GPS template to our listeners unique life. The newest addition is incorporating chatGPT at the suggestion of Tony Esposito. Now chat GPT is becoming part of the algorithm itself. As an example, using the algorithm you have to answer a series of questions. And those questions have word limits. If you go over the word limit, you can now bring chatGPT into it to give three versions of your answer that fits within the space limitations. And you can pick the answer you like the best. Big time saver. You can also use chatGPT to literally answer some the questions and see if you like the response. The big take away from this episode is that you can re-create your identity using this 12 minute a day methodology.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

The creation of your thoughts – you can influence it. And John presented an interesting concept. The thoughts that are going on in your head on an ongoing basis determine both your level of success as well as your enjoyment of life. No one denies that. But what’s interesting is you can influence your thoughts when they are created. Let me restate that. When they are created.</p><p>And here’s the opportunity. 95% of your daily thoughts and actions are unconscious. The fact that they are unconscious is actually the opportunity. Because if the opposite were true, and the majority of your thoughts were conscious, it be impossible to control your thoughts. But the key thing to appreciate is that since they are unconscious, that’s actually the opportunity. The vast majority of thoughts actually originate in the subconscious mind. And by properly programming the subconscious mind with the succinct articulation of your life each day, exactly what you want to accomplish and how you’re going to accomplish your goals, that’s the repetition that influences the subconscious mind. That’s what then causes the right thoughts to happen at their creation. Which then in turn causes the right actions to happen.</p><p>But the big take away from today’s episode is that you can influence the creation of your thoughts. The other big take away is that 98% of people don’t do anything to influence their subconscious mind. That’s exactly why so many people only use their conscious mind to set intentions. Then they are puzzled as to why those intentions never turn into reality. Well it’s because they’re not influencing the part of their brain that controls their actions. The subconscious mind. Therefore the needed actions don’t happen to turn those intentions into reality. All that is fixed with our 12 minute a day morning routine that influences your mindset. More specifically influences the creation of your thoughts in the mechanism that is generating your thoughts. The subconscious mind.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>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 &amp; 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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>Reach out to John at john@thinkitbeit.com</p><p>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-mitchell-76483654/" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-mitchell-76483654/</a></p><p>Kelly Hatfield</p><p>Kelly Hatfield is an entrepreneur at heart.

As you may know, this legendary book that has been read by 150 million people, says there’s a secret for success. But the author only reveals half the secret. John was blessed to figure out the full secret and a 12 minute a day technique to apply it. It caused his income to go up by 25 times over the $200,000 – $300,000 a year he was making the prior 20 years. Also met his wife from doing this. The bottom line is this 12 minute day methodology gives a person immense control over their lives. Beyond what they’ve ever experienced before. </p><p>And here’s what the full secret is. What you envision in detail, with emotion, on a daily basis is what shows up in your life. What that means is you create immense clarity about your life. Exactly the person you want to be, exactly what you want to accomplish, and precisely how you’re going to achieve your clearly defined goals. Then you put that clarity on a template. So that it succinct enough to read it or listen to it in 12 minutes a day. Also allows for the science of the subconscious mind to be properly applied. But once that clarity is on the template, you feed it to yourself every day. After approximately 21 days, the science kicks in and the magic happens. And what you’re feeding yourself starts to show up automatically without thinking in your thoughts and actions. </p><p>Once you begin doing this, three things happen. First, you feel immense CONTROL over your life. Of course you would, you’re feeding the succinct articulation of your life yourself each day. The second thing you feel is confidence. Which is a direct result of the control you feel. And the third thing you experience is the right actions and thoughts start happening automatically without thinking.  In this podcast John goes on to say that a person’s way of doing life comes down to their morning routine. Everybody has a morning routine. But only 2% of people have a morning routine that impacts their mindset. And that’s significant because your success in life as well as your enjoyment in life comes down to the thoughts that are going on in your head on an ongoing basis. </p><p>So if you want to have a productive and happy life, you have to influence your mindset every morning in your morning routine. Otherwise you are innately wired for survival. Which causes you to live your life being fear-based and reactive.  As John and Kelly dig deeper into this they talk about how feeding the succinct articulation of your life yourself each day profoundly impacts your identity. Who you are. It also impacts the filter for the brain. Your reticular activating system. It gives the filter for your brain immense clarity to bring into your life the things that you want. Essentially the law of attraction.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

And more specifically the science of leveraging yourself. As you’ll learned in the episode, at 50 John Mitchell wasn’t as successful as he thought he should be. He had been an entrepreneur for 20 years, consistently earning $200,000 – $300,000 a year. But as materialistic as this sounds, John realized that to have The Exceptional Life he always dreamed of, he had to start netting over $1 million a year.</p><p>Additionally, he realized he needed a partner in life and had to find the woman of his dreams. But at 50, how to change things? Then a pearl of wisdom came to John. Find the top book in the world on SUCCESS and apply that book literally Word for Word to his life. John then discovered that there is one book that has been read by 150 million people. It’s the top book in the world on success by a factor of 10. That book is Think and Grow Rich.</p><p>So John rushes out to buy the book and then reads the book. Then he discovered the problem. The book says there’s a SECRET for success, but the author only reveals half of the secret. Ultimately John buckled down, read the book 20 times over a two month period of time, and figured out the full secret, the missing secret, and a 12 minute a day technique to apply it. Then he started applying it to a new business he started in the reverse mortgage business.</p><p>Suddenly his income started doubling and doubling and doubling. To the point where he was making 25 times the 200,000 – $300,000 a year he was making the prior 20 years. John had leveraged himself through science. He was playing the game of life at a higher level. He could do things he couldn’t do before. And he had a level of control over his life beyond what he’d ever experienced before. He became fascinated by the fact that you can take two key scientific principles and so materially impact one’s success and achievement in life.</p><p>John ultimately had enough money so he didn’t have to work. He was then asked by the former Chancellor and president at the University of Texas to teach this methodology at the school’s TOP 5 in the country business school. John then taught his 12 minute a day methodology to the athletic director at the University of Texas. Which led to becoming the mental coach for the 18 head coaches at the University of Texas. Along this journey John also taught his 12 minute a day methodology to Kelly Hatfield. Transformed her life as well. Doubled her income and impacted her quality of life big time. Reduced stress, impacted her health, and impacted her marriage.</p><p>John talks about how most people are just winging life. They don’t have an actual way of doing life. And therefore they can’t overcome the inherent problem we all face when we open our eyes each morning. We are innately wired for survival. Which causes 70% of our thoughts to be fear-based and we’re reactive rather than proactive on our important agenda. Consider your own morning routine. Are you doing anything to impact your mindset? If you are not, you’re just winging life. Because at the end of the day, the thoughts going on in your head on an ongoing basis to determine both your level of achievement as well as enjoyment of life.</p><p>John and Kelly talk about how this 12 minute a day methodology, which is applying the central concept of the top book the world on success to one’s life, gives a person a true superpower. A level of control over yourself beyond what you’ve ever experienced. Because the methodology involves feeding the succinct articulation of your life yourself each day. Exactly the person you want to be, exactly what you want to accomplish, and precisely how you’re can achieve your clearly defined goals. Once you establish that clarity, you put it on&nbsp;the Think It Be It Life GPS template developed by John over 20 years. It allows a person to apply science to their lives to leverage themselves.</p><p>Additionally, John has developed an AI algorithm that makes it super simple to customize this methodology to a person’s life. One just has to answer about 50 questions, press a button, and the template is customized to a person’s unique life.</p><p>At the end of this podcast, John and Kelly talk about who this podcast is for. It’s for the 2%. John talks about taking his methodology to the top expert in the world on success to see if there was anything similar to it or if there were any flaws to it. This is about five years ago. Darren Hardy said that the dirty little secret of the success and human achievement field is that most people won’t do anything to impact their success. Because more success is merely a preference. That’s 98% of people. This podcast and the methodology is clearly for the 2%. The bottom line is this. Your life is precious. You have one shot at this thing.</p><p>If you’re a person who is driven and who you are is playing at your full potential, this podcast and the methodology we will teach you will be life altering. And you’ll have a lot of fun along the way listening to John and Kelly. We make it a point to have fun as we explain how to leverage yourself through science.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.

Where after you answer about 50 questions, you press a button and our template is customized to your unique life. In this week’s episode, we explain actually how to use the life GPS template. Kelly mentions that she reads her visualization every morning and also listens to it. John explains that each morning he just listens to it. Right after he wakes up, he puts on his headphones and listens to his visualization in his own voice. Using a cool app called speechify. John talks about how powerful this is to just close his eyes and listen to his visualization. One day a week though, he reads his visualization. In order to stay connected to that. In this episode John and Kelly both talk about the huge impact it has to feed the succinct articulation of your life to yourself each day. John talks about how it allows him to have a great marriage. If his wife Ginger ever says something irritating, John focuses on just noticing his irritation. Before he speaks. What a game changer. During this podcast John and Kelly talk about the big picture of how success works. Your success is already in your head. You have to just mine the gold. And John shares a profound idea. Are you happy with the life you have created? At the end of the day, other people are not thinking about you. So all that matters is what you think about your own life.

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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.

They start out by recapping the science we learned last week. Kelly explains the reticular activating system. How it’s the filter for the brain. And how important it is to give clarity to that filter regarding what you want and how you going to get it. John then explains the human mind. The conscious mind versus the subconscious mind. The conscious mind sets your intentions and is influenced by logic. The subconscious mind controls your daily actions. It’s only influenced by repetition. John goes on to say that 95% of your daily actions are unconscious. The significance of that is that your daily actions determine your success in each area of your life. So if 95% of them are unconscious, if you’re not influencing those unconscious daily actions you’re playing the game of life it 5% of your potential. So after John and Kelly get us back up to speed on the science, then they explained the life GPS template. We are creating immense intention and clarity about your life. The secret of think and grow Rich is what you envision in detail, with emotion, on a daily basis is what shows up in your life. What that means is you define exactly the person you want to be, exactly what you want to accomplish, and precisely how you can achieve your clearly defined goals. You put all that on a template. That’s what allows you to feed it to yourself and only take 12 minutes a day. The template also applies the science of the human mind. And then once you feed the succinct articulation of your life yourself each day, after 21 days the right actions start happening automatically without thinking. John goes on to say that the life GPS template is 20 years in development. Has included some of the wisdom of the top experts in the world of sport psychology. Then John and Kelly get into how to use the AI algorithm. All you have to do is answer 50 questions and then with the press of a button, your customized template is generated and downloaded to your computer. But keep in mind, you probably won’t knock out the 50 questions in one sitting. Take a few days to do that. John goes on to say that as an example, one of the things you are ask is what is your strategy for success in your career. Take 75 words to answer that. But it takes some thinking about it. Next week, once everyone has generated their template, we will show you how to use the template to change your life.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

How to leverage yourself through science. And we have a special opportunity for magic 36 over the next three weeks. We’re going to teach you exactly how to do our 12 minute day methodology and give you access to our life GPS template. So here’s how it’s going to work. This week, we’re going to teach you the science behind our methodology. How to leverage yourself through science and why it works. Then next week, our AI algorithm is going to be made available to you so that you can customize the template to your unique life. All you have to do is answer about 40 questions, punch a button, and our life GPS template is in customize to your life. Then three weeks from now, we will explain exactly how to use our life GPS template and implement our methodology in your life. We want the magic 36 to be the beta testers for the new AI algorithm. Which really is a game changer for us here at think it be it. So as to the science, in this episode Kelly explains the reticular activating system. The filter for the brain. And the law of attraction. John then explains that your success is determined by your daily actions. And 95% your daily actions are unconscious. Therefore if you’re not gaining control over those unconscious daily actions, meaning taking control of your subconscious mind, you’re playing the game of life at 5% of your potential. John then goes on to explain how the human mind works. Conscious mind versus subconscious mind. Then John and Kelly give examples of the effect of reprogramming the subconscious mind. Connecting the dots on the science.</p><p><strong><u>About the Hosts:</u></strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>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.

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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.

More specifically your success comes down to the relationship you have with yourself in your moments of solitude. When your head is on the pillow at night. John says that the most significant thing he ever learned in his life is this. That 95% of your daily actions are unconscious. Here’s why that’s significant. If your daily actions determine your success and 95% of them on are unconscious, then clearly your subconscious mind determines both your success in life as well as your enjoyment of life. So you have to gain control over your subconscious mind to have a better life for yourself. And the subconscious mind only response to repetition and that’s the power of feeding the succinct articulation of your life yourself each day. The thing that amazes John and Kelly is that so few people in the mindset and success business get this. That everything comes down to reprogramming the subconscious mind. Because when you don’t, your intentions never turn into actions. And to go even deeper on this John restates the topic today. Your success comes down to the relationship you have with yourself in your moments of solitude. And here’s why. Your actions determine your success. Your actions emanate from your thoughts. Your thoughts emanate from beliefs. So here’s the Takeaway. You’ve got the impact beliefs and thoughts because they determine your actions. That’s why you have to influence the subconscious mind and here’s how you do that. It’s a two-step process. First you create clarity about what you believe, what you want to accomplish and how you’re going to accomplish your specific goals. You’ve also got to determine any false beliefs you have and core wounds. All that is conscious mind. Then the critical second step. Rewire your subconscious by feeding the succinct articulation of your desired life to yourself each day. Takes 12 minutes a day. Then the right actions happen automatically and you have a powerful force pulling your life forward to your desired life. The new AI algorithm that John is creating to create that clarity and to customize our template is projected to be ready for testing in a couple weeks.

John just got back from a seven day vacation to Sedona. Went to a retreat on marriage and took his whole family. His wife Ginger, and the two kids Will and Hannah who are in the 30s. Along with Hannah’s husband Charlie. It was life-changing for all. One of the key things addressed was core childhood wounds. We all have them. And they play out in our life and particularly in our marriages. So it’s important to understand what your core wound is. John’s core wound is not feeling heard and the fear of loneliness. Kelly’s core wound is having to be a people pleaser. John and Kelly discuss how using the think it be it methodology will cure the core wound. You figure out what it is and figure out what the affirmation is to eliminate it. May also give a reason why it doesn’t affect one’s life today. You put that in the persons visualization. Then you feed it to yourself each day. After 21 days, believe it or not, the core wound is neutralized and doesn’t affect your life. In the new AI algorithm being developed by John to customize the think it be it template to each person’s unique life, John is building into the algorithm the ability to address core wounds as well as false beliefs John and Kelly go on to talk about the concept of false beliefs.

John just got back from a seven day vacation to Sedona. Went to a retreat on marriage and took his whole family. His wife Ginger, and the two kids Will and Hannah who are in the 30s. Along with Hannah’s husband Charlie. It was life-changing for all. One of the key things addressed was core childhood wounds. We all have them. And they play out in our life and particularly in our marriages. So it’s important to understand what your core wound is. John’s core wound is not feeling heard and the fear of loneliness. Kelly’s core wound is having to be a people pleaser. John and Kelly discuss how using the think it be it methodology will cure the core wound. You figure out what it is and figure out what the affirmation is to eliminate it. May also give a reason why it doesn’t affect one’s life today. You put that in the persons visualization. Then you feed it to yourself each day. After 21 days, believe it or not, the core wound is neutralized and doesn’t affect your life. In the new AI algorithm being developed by John to customize the think it be it template to each person’s unique life, John is building into the algorithm the ability to address core wounds as well as false beliefs John and Kelly go on to talk about the concept of false beliefs. The typical person has approximately 12 false beliefs that they live their life with. So it’s important to understand what those core false beliefs are and eliminate them.

That is coming out in October of this year. John tells a story about finding a big time editor who edited the wildly successful entrepreneur roller coaster book by Darren Hardy. John met her 10 years ago. But what he didn’t know until recently was that the editor, Amy Anderson, has been using the think it be it methodology for 10 years. Funny how life works. John also talks about the podcast. And how the book and podcast are so closely tied together. With the think it be it methodology, you have to give people the ability to do the 12 minute a day methodology. That’s the purpose of the book. Then once they learn it, you need to support them. And that’s done with the weekly podcast. Now everything is coming together. And in this podcast John reveals that the company that hosts our podcast tells us that we have 36 people listen to our podcast each week. John and Kelly talk about how cool it is to have this as our SECRET CLUB. Because we never promoted the podcast. Then John and Kelly get into the topic for the day. The search for a success formula. Kelly talks about her journey. Then John talks about his journey. Throughout his 30s and 40s he was always looking for that one thing that if you did it consistently would assure success. By 50 he decided such a success formula didn’t exist. Then he discovers that it did exist in the most likely place. The top book the world on success. But it wasn’t clearly stated in the book. It was buried deep inside the book. John had to figure out the secret. Then during the podcast John compares other so-called success formulas. Like the hugely successful morning miracle that encompasses six things and takes one hour to do. Also the comparison to meditation. And finally John talks about the comparison to Kelly. Who is great at meeting people where they are. But John says that’s not him. He finds it very hard to do. It’s like Kelly is the good cop and John is the bad cop. John influences people by being blunt and shaking them up.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>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 &amp; 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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>John’s technique was profiled on the cover of Time Magazine.

Spirituality starts by having a compelling mission statement the drives you forward. Typically this mission statement will be about 50 words long. It will also be emotional. John reads what his empowering purpose mission statement is. He says the top book the world on success is think and grow Rich. God chose me to reveal it’s full secret to the world. What I’ve created is life-changing. And only I can give this to the world. I teach people the practical way to create the exceptional life rather than the average life. If I had learned at 20 what I learned at 50, what a difference that would’ve made. I’m giving people a true advantage in life. Changing the world one person at a time and one class at a time. Getting gratification internally. From seeing the specific lives I’m dramatically impacting. Plus I’m self-actualizing to level beyond what I’ve ever experienced before. Kelly then mentions how one’s purpose needs to be other people driven. Helping other people. John and Kelly talk about meeting the well-known sports psychologist Michael Gervais. He works with the Seattle Seahawks. A few years ago John and Kelly met with him in Seattle. And he explained this concept of having each player have a powerful mission statement . As John and Kelly discuss this topic further, John talks about what he reads to himself each day regarding dealing with the frustrations with people. That everyone is a combination of their genetics coupled with what has come into their consciousness to this point in their life. Of course they don’t see things the same way John does. John also talks about something that gives him great comfort from a spiritual standpoint. How he is providing personal growth to his three grandchildren once they reach adulthood. To wrap up this discussion, John and Kelly talk about how the think it be it template is a combination of specific actions as well as giving oneself perspective on one’s life.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

John starts the podcast by succinctly explaining what our methodology is. You create immense clarity about your life. Exactly the person you want to be, exactly what you want to accomplish, and precisely how you’re going to achieve your clearly defined goals. Then you feed that clarity to yourself every day. After 21 days, the science kicks in and it starts influencing your daily actions, 95% of which are unconscious. Then those upgraded daily actions create the life you want. As this relates to creating the person you want to be, the template and algorithm for think it be it gives a person a deep understanding of having clarity regarding the person you want to be. To demonstrate this, John covers what he reads each morning about himself. He describes his top three values. He affirms that he can accomplish anything he sets his mind to. He defines the personal qualities he wants an himself. In discussing this, both John and Kelly talk about how most people don’t know off the top of their head what their top three values are. But when you feed that to yourself each day, you live them more. John tells a story about how this has played out in his life. Towards the end the podcast John talks about how 98% of people are misguided. Just winging life. Don’t really have a way of doing life. Just re-creating their existing life. Don’t have anything pulling them forward to their desired life. John points out that is not how the 2% do life. The 2% feed the succinct articulation of their life to themselves each day. That then causes the right actions happen automatically without thinking. And they have a powerful force pulling their life forward to their desired life.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>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 &amp; 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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>John’s technique was profiled on the cover of Time Magazine.

Kelly leads off the discussion regarding how is has impacted her health. Then John gets into the difference between one’s intentions and actually taking the actions to make one’s intentions come into reality. John explains how the human mind works. The conscious mind sets your intention and is influenced by logic. The subconscious mind controls your everyday actions, and it’s influenced only by repetition. Here’s the example. Say you want to lose weight. The conscious mind sets the intention to lose weight based on the logic of the health benefits. But the reason people don’t lose weight is not from lack of intention. They have all the intention in the world. They don’t lose weight because they are not influencing the part of their brain that controls their daily actions – the subconscious mind. That’s what controls what they eat and exercising on a daily basis. Because 95% of a person’s daily actions are unconscious. See the connection to the subconscious mind. So the methodology makes the right actions happen automatically without thinking because it’s influencing the subconscious mind. John also talks about doing a health program last year called fountainlife. It’s owned by Tony Robbins. The program’s goal is early detection of cancer, heart disease, or anything else that could be life-threatening. The take away John got from this is that being healthy is all about detecting problems early. Accordingly, you need to get your blood analyzed every six months. You also need to get your gut analyzed. This is done via a stool sample. Also determine if you’re deficient in any micronutrients which can be improved through supplements. The bottom line of our discussion today is that the methodology of think it be it as it relates to health is that it causes the right actions to happen automatically without thinking.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

To start this off, Kelly discusses how the methodology has affected her marriage. John then explains the think it be it methodology in a nutshell. You create immense clarity. Exactly the person you want to be, exactly what you want to accomplish, and precisely how you can achieve your clearly defined goals. Then you feed that to yourself each day. After 21 days, the subconscious mind (which controls your daily actions) accept the programming and makes the right actions show up automatically without thinking. In this podcast John explains in detail some of the things that he affirms in his visualization regarding his marriage. He affirms to be flexible, patient and thoughtful. And what that means. He also affirms to make his wife Ginger feel appreciated. He affirms 2 complements a day. He also affirms their Sunday relationship talk at 8 PM each Sunday. He also affirms passion and sensuality. And what he does in those regards. He also focuses on the 20 or so great attributes of Ginger. He also affirms letting go of frustration quickly. Further, in his visualization each quarter he has a new goal for his relationship. Along with the three or four key behaviors associated with that goal. He also affirms continually making Ginger laugh – and their ongoing humorous vibe. He affirms that when she has been out and comes home, he makes it a point to come greet her. He also tells her she’s a great dresser. And he honors her requests quickly. Those are just examples of some of the things in John’s visualization.

To start this off, Kelly discusses how the methodology has affected her marriage. John then explains the think it be it methodology in a nutshell. You create immense clarity. Exactly the person you want to be, exactly what you want to accomplish, and precisely how you can achieve your clearly defined goals. Then you feed that to yourself each day. After 21 days, the subconscious mind (which controls your daily actions) accept the programming and makes the right actions show up automatically without thinking. In this podcast John explains in detail some of the things that he affirms in his visualization regarding his marriage. He affirms to be flexible, patient and thoughtful. And what that means. He also affirms to make his wife Ginger feel appreciated. He affirms 2 complements a day. He also affirms their Sunday relationship talk at 8 PM each Sunday. He also affirms passion and sensuality. And what he does in those regards. He also focuses on the 20 or so great attributes of Ginger. He also affirms letting go of frustration quickly. Further, in his visualization each quarter he has a new goal for his relationship. Along with the three or four key behaviors associated with that goal. He also affirms continually making Ginger laugh – and their ongoing humorous vibe. He affirms that when she has been out and comes home, he makes it a point to come greet her. He also tells her she’s a great dresser. And he honors her requests quickly. Those are just examples of some of the things in John’s visualization. After John explains all this, he gives a sample of now listening to his visualization. Using the speechify app. And he uses the example of where he can listen to his visualization using his own voice or a celebrity voice. Like Snoop Dogg. It’s pretty enlightening.

Which only one third of 1% of people are able to do. John talks about when he was first able to do this in his early 50s. It happened because he had immensely more control over himself. He could do now five high-performance skills he couldn’t do before. He was highly organized. Planned this day the night before and time blocked his day. He was deep thinking two times a week. He was growing intellectually, in areas that were strategic relative to what he wanted to accomplish. He was focused only on what moves the needle. And he had control over his daily actions, 95% which are unconscious. Kelly goes on to say that when she crossed over to netting over million dollars a year, it allowed her to just have more impact. Those same five high-performance skills were things she could now do consistently. John goes on to talk about how important it is that you choose a business that is leveraged. As an example, he talks about how in the reverse mortgage business he would make $30,000 a reverse mortgage versus when he sold his time by the hour as a CPA he make $200 an hour.

She said she felt like there was more in the tank. She couldn’t understand the disconnect between her efforts and your results. Why weren’t the results better. Again, there was more in the tank that she couldn’t get out. Then as John started to teach her the methodology, he explained to her why she felt that way. Your daily actions determine your success in each area of your life. 95% of your daily actions are unconscious. Therefore if you’re not gaining control over those unconscious daily actions, you’re playing the game of life at 5% of your potential. That’s why you feel like there’s more in the tank. John went on to explain that he felt there was more in the tank when he turned 50. But he also realized he just wasn’t taking the right actions. The actions he was taking was netting him $200,000 a year. But when he started taking the right actions, he made 25 times that. John talks about the five high performance skills that he learned in his 50s that are reaffirmed in his daily visualization. He had to be a 10 on organization. So he created a very simple powerful system. Another high-performance skills was setting aside time to just think two times a week. The third one was using a system to bring in the wisdom of experts into his head each and every week. In strategic areas he needed. The fourth high-performance skill was focusing on what moves the needle. And really understanding what that is. And then the fifth high-performance skill was leveraging himself by understanding how the human mind works. Kelly points out that virtually every client of think it be it says that they feel like there is more in the tank when they start the process. John talks about how when he tries to influence people, he now asked them five questions. First, how driven are you? They need to be a nine or 10. Second question is how do you create success in your life? Most people won’t have a way. Third question is do you feel like there is more in the tank? Then the fourth question is how important is it to play at your full potential? And then the fifth question is what is your morning routine. The lesson John has learned is that you influence people more with questions than by telling them.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

She said she felt like there was more in the tank. She couldn’t understand the disconnect between her efforts and your results. Why weren’t the results better. Again, there was more in the tank that she couldn’t get out. Then as John started to teach her the methodology, he explained to her why she felt that way. Your daily actions determine your success in each area of your life. 95% of your daily actions are unconscious. Therefore if you’re not gaining control over those unconscious daily actions, you’re playing the game of life at 5% of your potential. That’s why you feel like there’s more in the tank. John went on to explain that he felt there was more in the tank when he turned 50. But he also realized he just wasn’t taking the right actions. The actions he was taking was netting him $200,000 a year. But when he started taking the right actions, he made 25 times that. John talks about the five high performance skills that he learned in his 50s that are reaffirmed in his daily visualization. He had to be a 10 on organization. So he created a very simple powerful system. Another high-performance skills was setting aside time to just think two times a week. The third one was using a system to bring in the wisdom of experts into his head each and every week. In strategic areas he needed. The fourth high-performance skill was focusing on what moves the needle. And really understanding what that is. And then the fifth high-performance skill was leveraging himself by understanding how the human mind works. Kelly points out that virtually every client of think it be it says that they feel like there is more in the tank when they start the process. John talks about how when he tries to influence people, he now asked them five questions. First, how driven are you? They need to be a nine or 10. Second question is how do you create success in your life? Most people won’t have a way. Third question is do you feel like there is more in the tank? Then the fourth question is how important is it to play at your full potential? And then the fifth question is what is your morning routine. The lesson John has learned is that you influence people more with questions than by telling them.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>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 &amp; 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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.

John talks about coming to grips with this when he was 50 years old. And not only did he have to accept full responsibility, he also saw that he had to figure out the specific actions he had to take to create the life he wanted. A big challenge. But then the answer appeared. It came from think and grow Rich. Create&nbsp;immense clarity about your life. Exactly the person you want to be, exactly what you want to accomplish, and precisely how you’re going to achieve your clearly defined goals. Feed that to yourself every day. Then the right actions happen automatically without thinking. But what’s significant here is that when you start with the end in mind and work backwards, the right actions to take become apparent. During this podcast John and Kelly talk about how most people are just winging life, re-creating the past. To some degree this is happening because people are shallow thinking. They’re not deep thinking. That’s a result of the flip through culture we live in. But here’s the bottom line of what we learned today. Accept the fact that you have to accept full responsibility for your life. Not looking for anyone else or looking for external factors to change. Then you need to figure out the right actions to take. That happens from starting with the end in mind and working backwards. See you what you want to achieve and the right actions will become obvious. Then feed that to yourself every day. That’s what makes the right actions then happen automatically without thinking.

John discusses that when he was 40 years old, he adopted the strategy for success of just doing his best. That’s all he controlled. So that’s what he focused on. Doing his best. But that didn’t produce big results. Then he got enlightened in his 50s. He understood fundamentally how success works. It comes down to your daily actions. And if you don’t know the proper daily actions to take, even though you might be doing your best, you won’t have big success. What John learned is that the key to being successful is creating immense clarity about your life. Defining exactly the person you want to be, exactly what you want to accomplish, and precisely how you’re going to achieve your clearly defined goals. By defining that, then you see the right actions you take. It becomes obvious. And then you feed that clarity to yourself every day. That impacts your daily actions. And your upgraded daily actions then creates the life you want.</p><p>The point of all that is that just doing your best may not have you doing the right actions, despite your best intentions. John also talks about in his 30s and 40s he was only playing at 5% of his potential. He didn’t have a high level of control over himself. In his 50s he did from figuring out the full secret of think and grow Rich. And lastly John talks about how in his 50s doing his best came down to five things. Effort, focusing on what moves the needle, tuning into reality, consistently growing every week, and understanding how the human mind works. In John’s 30s and 40s, he only knew to give effort.

And influence has two components to it. First, influencing yourself. That means getting yourself to do the key habits required to be successful. Having discipline. John talks about how this is leadership of self. Which means having the mindset of I can achieve anything I set my mind to. I own my results and am never a victim. Being able to summon up grit and perseverance when things don’t go well. Kelly then talked about how she influences other people like her team. By being authentic and doing what she says she’s going to do. John talks about the book how to win friends and influence people. This classic book. The power of seeing people’s first name in conversations. The power of seeing things from the other person’s point of view. Smiling. The wrap-up to this podcast explains how you can make influencing both yourself and other people happen automatically without thinking using our 12 minute day technique.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>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.

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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>John’s technique was profiled on the cover of Time Magazine.

John talks about a statue that sits in his den. It has three men that are climbing. The lowest guy is struggling, the middle guy is going sideways, and the third guy is going straight up. When John looks at that statue each morning, he thinks about his own life. The guy at the lowest level was was John in his 30s. The guy going sideways was John in his 40s. And the guy going straight up John in his 50s. John sees that when he started going straight up in his 50s, he saw and understood things he never understood before. He gained wisdom from the book Think and Grow Rich. He was just operating on a higher level. He understood how the human mind worked, and that was the difference Kelly talks about how she has learned from other people as well. But so often people in their 30s and 40s don’t think they have that much to learn. So they’re not receptive to the wisdom of others. But John points out that oftentimes the wisdom is something profoundly simple. It’s not like you’re learning to split the atom. Like for John learning that 95% of his daily actions was unconscious was critical. Learning how the human mind works.

Picking up the book <em>Think and Grow Rich, </em>John was intrigued by the advocation of applying science to up your success however the book only gave half the secret to make this happen. Listen as John shares his story as he figured out the full secret and how with the development and application of a 12 minute a day technique, he saw his income rise to $5 million net a year.</p><p><strong><em><u>About the Hosts:</u></em></strong></p><p><strong>John Mitchell</strong></p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

He says that when we wake up each morning, we are oriented to our recent past. To our familiar past. So when our eyes open each morning, three things are going on. First we’re innately wired for survival. Which causes us to be fear-based and reactive. Secondly, 95% of our daily thoughts and actions are unconscious. And third, and this is what Joe Dispenza adds to the equation, we are oriented to the recent past. So the effect is when you open your eyes each morning, you’re fear-based and reactive. With the vast majority of your thoughts being fear-based, with 95% of them being unconscious. And you’re thinking about the recent past. Your problems and may be little things that hurt you over the last few days. That then produces feelings. And those feelings create more negative thoughts. It’s a spiraling negative loop that causes you to continually re-create the past. Thoughts are the language of the mind and feelings are the language of the body. So when you get in this negative loop to continually re-create the past, nothing is pulling you forward. That’s why the think it be it 12 minute a day methodology is so powerful. Where you articulate the succinct articulation of your desired life.

By being the type of person that does attract success. As Kelly points out, BE then DO. John makes the analogy of someone trying to catch a butterfly. It’s very elusive. Just like success. But if you become the person that you need to be in order to be successful, you will attract success. Kelly talked about the idea of envisioning the best version of yourself 10 years from now. And envisioning what you would have accomplished. Then seeing the type of person you would need to be in order to attain that level of success. It’s a great analogy. Putting yourself in a third-party position to see the person you need to be in order to attract the success you want is a fundamental concept. In this podcast John also points out the power of the think it be it method. Your defining exactly the person you want to be, exactly what you want to accomplish, and precisely how you can achieve your clearly defined goals. Then you feed that to yourself every day using the think it be it template. Since 95% of a person’s daily thoughts and actions are unconscious, when you feed that to your subconscious mind that’s who you actually become.

We are all innately wired for survival, not success. And here’s the impact of being wired for survival. It causes 70% of our thoughts to be fear-based. We’re reactive rather than proactive on our important agenda. So think about that. If you’re innately wired to be fear-based and reactive, that’s exactly the opposite of how you need to be in order to be productive creative and happy. And to say that another way, you’re wired for failure. During the discussion Kelly talks about social media. And how it puts being wired for survival on steroids. Social media is driven on comparison and fear. During the discussion Kelly and John talk about the fact that the input you have coming in your head determines the quality of your life. So if you’re spending too much time on social media, that has a negative impact on your life. John also points out that in working with people he often sees that people say they feel like they are playing the game of life that 10% to 20% of their potential. And John connects the dots. Your daily actions determine your success in each area of your life. And John says that 95% of a person’s thoughts and actions are unconscious.&nbsp;So if you’re not controlling your unconscious daily thoughts and actions, of course you’re playing the game of life it 10% – 20% of your potential. And you fix all this by influencing those unconscious daily thoughts and actions. By feeding the succinct articulation of your life yourself each day. Exactly the person you want to be, exactly what you want to accomplish, and precisely how you’re can achieve your clearly defined goals. Then the right actions happen automatically without thinking.</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>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 &amp; 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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.

John explains that he first discovered this about five years ago. He decided to go to the top expert in the world on success and share think it be it with him or her. As it turns out, John decided that Darren Hardy was the top expert in the world on success. So after he writes a big check and goes out to California, John meets with Darren. Shows him the think it be it template and explains the methodology. And after Darren looked at it very closely he says “this is good”. But Darren says that people are not going to spend 12 minutes a day on this. John couldn’t believe it. John goes how can that be? It 25X my income, Time Magazine did a cover story on the science behind this, and you’re applying the central concept of the top book in the world on success to your life. What you mean that they won’t spend 12 minutes a day on this? Darren says John, you’re new to the success business. The dirty little secret is that most people won’t do anything to impact their success. Because more success is merely a preference. Merely a preference. Darren said you have to only show this to the 2% of people where more success is a necessity. The people that are truly driven. John said that was so eye-opening. And over the subsequent years, what Darren said has proven to be so true. Kelly mentioned that the fact that only 2% of people are driven has a lot to do with self-worth. She’s reading a new book and if people don’t have a strong self-worth, they won’t be driven. John also talks about how his friend and recent student of think it be it Steve Pendergrast is now teaching a group of his own the methodology of think it be it. And he related the story to John that one of the students told him that the reason he didn’t have his homework assignment done is because he was too busy. Steve confronts his student on that. What would be more important than taking your own life to a new level. To improving your life. What’s more important than that. Well the Takeaway is this person he was talking to is not driven.

John explains that he first discovered this about five years ago. He decided to go to the top expert in the world on success and share think it be it with him or her. As it turns out, John decided that Darren Hardy was the top expert in the world on success. So after he writes a big check and goes out to California, John meets with Darren. Shows him the think it be it template and explains the methodology. And after Darren looked at it very closely he says “this is good”. But Darren says that people are not going to spend 12 minutes a day on this. John couldn’t believe it. John goes how can that be? It 25X my income, Time Magazine did a cover story on the science behind this, and you’re applying the central concept of the top book in the world on success to your life.

There are no facts today. Everything is opinions. And the effect of that is it is hard to move forward in resolving important issues. John gives the example of rising crime. So how do we solve the problem. When you dig into the facts, you discover that the vast majority of crime is committed by just a few repeat offenders. Well logically, if that is true, the solution is essentially to lock ‘em up and throw away the key. But in this country with the progressive left, there is this belief that incarcerating people is racist because more people of color are incarcerated. Therefore they let repeat offenders out with no bail. And that’s what striving crime in many places today. Well that type of boneheaded thinking reflects lack of understanding the facts. Another example is the covid vaccine. In the United States we lost about 1 million people from Covid. In looking at the facts, millions of people were saved from the vaccine. In fact the two developers of the covid vaccine won the Nobel Prize last year for it. How do we move forward regarding vaccines in the future if we can’t acknowledge the truth about the Covid vaccine. Then the third example. John’s favorite. The big lie that Trump promotes that the last presidential election was stolen from him. Yet there’s not a scintilla of evidence to support that. And John sees that when he gets in discussions with his friends that believe the election was stolen, which is what 60% of Republicans believe, nothing can get resolved because they ignore the facts. Then we switch to a lighter topic. John talks about five keywords or phrases that are often said in a good romantic relationship. Here are the five phrases. Thank you, I’m sorry and I apologize, I like you, I’m committed to you, help me understand. If you say these phrases often in your relationship, you’ve got a great romantic relationship.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p><strong>John Mitchell</strong></p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

But what drives the creative process? It’s what we expect. Expectations manifest themselves. So let’s think about this a little deeper. If expectations manifest themselves, what drives our expectations? It’s our thoughts. And our thoughts are dictated by the input we have coming in. Garbage in, garbage out. Good in, good out. John plays a two minute presentation by Darren Hardy about this.</p><p>After the presentation, John and Kelly relate it to the think it be it methodology. Your expectations manifest themselves. So it’s important to have clarity about your expectations. And that’s what the think it be it 12 minute day methodology does. By feeding the succinct articulation of your life, exactly the person you want to be, exactly what you want to accomplish, and precisely how you’re going to achieve your clearly defined goals, that’s the ultimate in defining your expectations. And what you expect is what ends up showing up in your life.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p><strong>John Mitchell</strong></p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

But what drives the creative process? It’s what we expect. Expectations manifest themselves. So let’s think about this a little deeper. If expectations manifest themselves, what drives our expectations? It’s our thoughts. And our thoughts are dictated by the input we have coming in. Garbage in, garbage out. Good in, good out. John plays a two minute presentation by Darren Hardy about this.</p><p>After the presentation, John and Kelly relate it to the think it be it methodology. Your expectations manifest themselves. So it’s important to have clarity about your expectations. And that’s what the think it be it 12 minute day methodology does. By feeding the succinct articulation of your life, exactly the person you want to be, exactly what you want to accomplish, and precisely how you’re going to achieve your clearly defined goals, that’s the ultimate in defining your expectations. And what you expect is what ends up showing up in your life.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p><strong>John Mitchell</strong></p><p>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 &amp; 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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>Reach out to John at john@thinkitbeit.com</p><p>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-mitchell-76483654/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-mitchell-76483654/</a></p><p><strong>Kelly Hatfield</strong></p><p>Kelly Hatfield is an entrepreneur at heart.

John mentions that this is one of the seven habits of highly successful people. He recently read that book again and this was the habit that really caught his attention. Kelly and John talk about how innately we don’t like people who think differently than we do. That happens at a subconscious level. But of course people don’t think like we do. Everyone is simply a reflection of three things. Their genetics, what has come into their consciousness to this point in their life, and whether they have estrogen or testosterone flowing through their veins. Everyone is unique. To expect that people will think like you do doesn’t make sense. And that’s why it makes so much sense to apply this idea of seeking to understand before trying to be understood. Kelly talks about how she applies this to her team in her business. John talks about how he’s been trying to improve his skills in this regard with his wife Ginger.

And it’s always strategic relative to what you want to accomplish. As an example, she wanted to get government contracts for her recruitment business. So she listened to content on government contracts. Very strategic. John talks about when he was 50 years old he realized that he wasn’t growing intellectually. He was too busy for personal growth. Big mistake. He fixed it with the system he created. And it made him a conduit of learning. With the wisdom of experts coming into his head every week.

And there’s power in knowing what it is and playing into it. Kelly’s superpower is being a people person. Being able to make people feel heard and recognized. Having empathy. John goes on to say that his superpower is being able to take the complex and make it simple. John discovered this when he was 27 years old working as a CPA. And he saw that talent playing out throughout his life. When he launched into being an entrepreneur at 30, he was able to prepare the investment brochure in a way that made the complex simple. So investors would ride a check to fund his real estate development. Then when he got into the reverse mortgage business at 50, he made reverse mortgages simple. And now in the success business, John makes success simple. John then talks about how so often people don’t understand how profound it is that 95% of a person’s daily thoughts and actions are unconscious. John and Kelly discuss the ramifications. During this podcast John also talks about eight different superpowers that people can choose from, in order to give them some perspective as to what the potential superpowers are.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>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.

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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.

You can listen to your daily visualization rather than read it. John explains that he’s been reading his visualization for like 20 years. But he is so enamored now with being able to listen to it instead. Every way after he wakes up , John puts on his headphones and then presses a button in the think it be it app. He then closes his eyes and listens to his visualization. John and Kelly discuss how listening influences the subconscious mind slightly different than reading. But it’s still repetition, which is the only stimulus that influences the subconscious mind. In this episode John and Kelly talk about what we say at the start of this podcast. Once we learned one thing, our lives were never the same. That one thing is that 95% of our daily thoughts and actions are unconscious. The more you think about this, the more profound you see that it is. Essentially your subconscious mind controls your life. Because your daily actions determine your success. So let’s connect the dots. Your thoughts determine your actions and your actions determine your success in each area of your life. The fact that 95% of your thoughts are unconscious is the opportunity. If your thoughts were conscious, there would be no way you could control your thoughts. But by virtue of them being unconscious, all you have to do is get into the mechanism that is generating your thoughts. The subconscious mind. And once you influence the subconscious mind, proactively, your life is never the same.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>About the Hosts:</strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

(Encore)</itunes:title><description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode, John and Kelly talk about how you answer the daily question “how are you doing “. It has a huge impact on how you influence others as well as how you influence yourself. Kelly says that when she is asked that question, her standard response is “EXCELLENT”. For John, he answers “living the dream”. Regarding influencing yourself with your answer, John says it sets the tone for your inner world and how you view your life. John also points out that life is a state of mind. So his reply to this daily question is really important. And it’s way better to have a unique reply other than “FINE” as most people answer. Kelly then explains the powerful impact your answer has on other people. It’s truly an exchange of energy. And when you answer in a nontraditional way with energy, it has a very positive effect on other people. John also points out that what you say out loud has 10 times the impact of what you think. And this is based on a Harvard study.</p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent">About the Hosts:</strong></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">John Mitchell</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">John’s story is pretty amazing.

It has a huge impact on how you influence others as well as how you influence yourself. Kelly says that when she is asked that question, her standard response is “EXCELLENT”. For John, he answers “living the dream”. Regarding influencing yourself with your answer, John says it sets the tone for your inner world and how you view your life. John also points out that life is a state of mind. So his reply to this daily question is really important. And it’s way better to have a unique reply other than “FINE” as most people answer. Kelly then explains the powerful impact your answer has on other people. It’s truly an exchange of energy. And when you answer in a nontraditional way with energy, it has a very positive effect on other people. John also points out that what you say out loud has 10 times the impact of what you think. And this is based on a Harvard study.</p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent">About the Hosts:</strong></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">John Mitchell</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">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 &amp; 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.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">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.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">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.

And that is actually a huge opportunity. Your success in life as well as your enjoyment of life comes down to the thoughts that are going on in your head most the time. But why is that. Why do your thoughts determine your success. It’s because your thoughts determine each action. And your actions create success in your career, in your marriage, and in controlling your health. But here’s the opportunity. 95% of your daily thoughts are unconscious. And that’s actually a good thing. Because if they were conscious, you’d have to spend all your time consciously trying to control your thoughts. You wouldn’t have time for anything else. But the fact that they are UNCONSCIOUS is the opportunity. To control your thoughts you simply have to influence the mechanism that is generating your thoughts. Your subconscious mind, and your autopilot. You do that by repetition. Feeding to yourself each morning the succinct articulation of your life. Exactly the person you want to be, exactly what you want to accomplish, and precisely how you’re going to achieve your clearly defined goals. Takes 12 minutes a day. If you do that, you gain control of your thoughts and your success in life. As to credibility, you’re applying the central concept of the top book in the world on success to your life. Think and grow Rich.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>After John and Kelly cover all this, then they get into showing the audience examples of the different thoughts one has control of. Relative to their career, to their romantic relationship, to controlling their health. The take away is the fact that 95% your thoughts are unconscious is truly the opportunity for controlling your thoughts. By simply influencing the mechanism that is generating your thoughts, your subconscious mind. And you do that through repetition&nbsp;.</p><p><strong><em><u>About the Hosts:</u></em></strong></p><p>John Mitchell</p><p>John’s story is pretty amazing.

In John’s opinion, 98% of people are sheep. They follow the crowd. And that’s what creates the average life. Which isn’t pretty today in the United States. John gives the example of think it be it being only for the 2%. Because only 2% of people consider more success a necessity rather than merely a preference. Most people want to be more successful but it’s merely a preference. They won’t do the things required to actually be more successful. It also comes down to embracing playing the game life at your full potential. Something only 2% of people aspire to do. Kelly explains that so much of it comes down to your identity. Who you see yourself being. Appreciating that success is something you attract by the attributes you create in yourself. And John points out that that is the essence of the think it be it methodology. By getting clarity on the attributes that you want and feeding those attributes to yourself each day, that’s who you actually become.

John and Kelly both talked about the value of getting perspective. Doing so by setting aside time to think two times a week. Deep think using the technique they’ve developed. They also explain the one thing that once they learned it, both their lives were changed. Realizing that their daily actions determine their success yet they don’t control their daily actions. Only their intentions. But you can control your daily actions by rewiring your autopilot. That’s what their 12 minute day technique is all about.

Kelly talks about when she first became an entrepreneur in the employment field. What drove her to make the leap. And Kelly talks about the lessons she learned. John talks about when he launched into being an entrepreneur in the real estate development field when he was 30 years old. After starting out as a CPA. How he learned that not everyone has the same sense of fairness and the desire to be fair with everyone. Kelly then talks about the life-changing moment when she met John and he taught her the 12 minute a day technique that applies the full secret of the book think and grow Rich. How that gave her control over her life. It took an outsider to enlighten Kelly. John also talks about when he was frustrated with his life at 50. Not as successful as he thought he should be. So he decides go find the top book the world on success and apply that book literally Word for Word to his life. That book is think and grow Rich. It’s been read by over 100 million people. In the book it says there’s a secret for success. But the author only gives us half the secret. John figures out the full secret and a 12 minute a day technique to apply it. It causes his income to go up by 25 times over what he was making the prior 20 years. John talks about looking for a true success formula throughout his life. He knew if you ever found one, it had to be simple. And sure enough, it was simple. Create immense clarity about your life, feed it to yourself every day, it then impacts your daily actions and those upgraded daily actions then creates life you want. Powerfully simple. The big take away is when you feel stuck in your life, getting unstuck will require the input of someone else. For Kelly it was meeting John. For John, it was reading the book think and grow Rich at the exact right time.</p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent">About the Hosts:</strong></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">John Mitchell</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">John’s story is pretty amazing.

As Kelly is about to turn 50 in a couple months, she has spent a lot of time thinking about aging. And she really likes the wisdom that comes from aging. The increase confidence. Caring less what other people think. Then John discusses the fact that aging gives you perspective. He says that the older you get, the more you realize that most things don’t matter. Only a few things matter. John shared the observation in his own life that he sees cases of where he is evolving. He mentioned that when he was in his early 50s and met his wife Ginger, she commented on the fact that every once while he would throw F bombs around. John didn’t like that part of himself because that’s now how he was raised. Wasn’t very classy. So he immediately fixed it because it didn’t serve him. He also a few years later observed that sometimes he would get mad out loud. Oftentimes it was around technology. But he realized that what you say out loud is 10 times more powerful than what you think. He was only feeding the anger by venting out loud. So he stopped it. The lesson is that as you get older, you see ways to improve yourself and often times you do. John also mentioned that as he gets older, he gets more and more grateful. He also said that one of the latest things he’s begun doing is each evening after getting on the treadmill, he takes about 30 minutes and just writes down what he’s observing in life. He says it’s powerful when you can articulate what your observing rather than just thinking what you’re observing.</p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent">About the Hosts:</strong></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">John Mitchell</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">John’s story is pretty amazing.

He says it’s powerful when you can articulate what your observing rather than just thinking what you’re observing.</p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent">About the Hosts:</strong></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">John Mitchell</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">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 &amp; 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.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">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.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">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.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">John’s technique was profiled on the cover of Time Magazine.

There really is an art to living this precious life we’re all blessed with. In this podcast John talks about the four components of the art of living. First is dealing with problems. Unenlightened people, incompetent people, and difficult people. The second component is savoring the good. There’s so much good in life but we oftentimes don’t savor it as much as we should. We need to savor our friendships, savor the impact we’re having on other people in the world. Even savoring the pleasures of life like food. Then the third component is evolving mentally. Over one’s life, you will continually evolve mentally. That should never stop. There’s always got to be something you’re striving for, to evolve mentally. That’s what keeps you alive. Then the fourth component of the art of living. Having a great marriage. There sure is an art to that. John talks about the idea of appreciating that your partner has different genetics and life experience than you do. Inevitably they see things differently. Have a great marriage, you have to navigate that. As John and Kelly wrap this episode up, they point out that because 95% of the person’s daily actions are unconscious, the art of living comes down to influencing the subconscious mind. Using the think it be it methodology.</p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent">About the Hosts:</strong></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">John Mitchell</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">John’s story is pretty amazing.

This issue has come up because John relates to Kelly a situation with a couple of new clients for think it be it. John explains that the most significant thing ever learned in his life was that 95% of his daily actions and thoughts are unconscious. That was so significant because from reading think and grow Rich, he realized that his daily actions determine his success in each area of his life. Therefore if 95% of his daily actions are unconscious, if he’s not controlling his unconscious daily actions, he’s playing the game of life at 25% of his potential. John was mystified as to why people couldn’t repeat that back to him once he explained that to them. John’s assumption was that they have to hear it seven times before it really registers. Kelly gives some great insight into this. It may be that people just aren’t ready to hear the message. And some people never will hear the message because they don’t have a growth mindset. They’re not open to new ideas. Towards the end of the podcast John talks about a new client who after a few times of John saying it to her started repeating it back to him in emails. Mission accomplished.</p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent">About the Hosts:</strong></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">John Mitchell</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">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 &amp; 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.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">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.

Jeffrey is in the speaker’s Hall of Fame and is the king of sales. Literally the king of sales. The most prolific and respected authority on selling in the United States today. John met Jeffrey when he was 41 years old. And Jeffrey gave John some great advice. Turn your car into a mobile University. Unfortunately, John didn’t immediately figure out how to do that. But a few years later, he did. By creating a system for personal growth. During this conversation between John and Jeffrey, they go over the things I wish I knew about success when I came out of college. John starts off the discussion saying the thing he wished he had known is how most people that you are competing against are not that sharp. Most people are not very organized, don’t grow intellectually, don’t set aside time to think on a weekly basis. Don’t impact their mindset – and live with a negative inner voice. And don’t control their daily actions, 95% of which are unconscious. These are all things that are taught in the think it be it methodology. John points out that when you do these things and other people don’t, you’re at a tremendous advantage in life over your competition. Later in the discussion John asked Jeffrey why he’s been successful. And then John articulates his observations about why Jeffrey has been successful.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>About the Guest:</strong></p><p>Jeffrey Gitomer is known as the King of Sales.

Do you have a way of doing life? And John points out that if you don’t, as most people don’t, you’re just winging life. And the effect of that is that you live your life fear-based and reactive in light of the fact that we are all innately wired for survival.

This topic was inspired by John listening to Tony Robbins on the impact theory podcast. In this episode John mentions that you live up or down to your identity. Most people create their identity by default. And one’s identity is determined by the stories you tell yourself. Kelly mentions that this is so closely aligned to what think it be it is all about. Which is you create your identity first on paper. Exactly the person you want to be, exactly what you want to accomplish, and precisely how you achieve your clearly defined goals. Then you feed that identity to yourself 12 minutes a day, using the think it be it template. After approximate 30 days, your subconscious mind accepts that identity and then your subconscious mind begins influencing your unconscious daily thoughts and actions automatically without thinking. Then those upgraded daily actions create the life you want. Powerfully simple. It relates back to exactly what Tony Robbins was talking about. You either live up or down to your identity. Way better to create the identity you want rather than having it created by default. John also talks about how in your identity you need a compelling future. You gotta be telling yourself a story that is a compelling future. To wrap up this episode John explains that today with AI it is projected that lots of people in the 2030s will have a chip implanted in their head to access the Internet solely from the thoughts. But it’s noted that today, there is a bifurcation in society. Between the people that have control over themselves, and the people that don’t. And most people don’t have control over themselves. But what advantage for those that do. Think it be it is the methodology by which a person gains control over themselves.</p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent">About the Hosts:</strong></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">John Mitchell</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">John’s story is pretty amazing.

John explains that when he looks back on his life, he sees that enlightenment came from learning things from other people. As an example, one of the first things he learned about life was from his dad. His dad was very hard-working. So John embraced the idea of being hard-working. Then when John was 19, he read the book psycho Cybernetics. Had a big impact on his self-image. Then when John was 27, he discovered his unique talent. He could take the complex and make it simple. He learned this from one of his CPA clients. Then John goes on to tell a story about when he was 41. Met with a gentleman by the name of Jeffrey Gittomer. Jeffrey taught John the power of learning from other people. And turning his car into a mobile university. Then at 50, John’s life was transformed by reading the book think and grow Rich. And appreciating that 95% of a person’s daily actions are unconscious. Understanding that one thing transformed his life. Then Kelly went through her life thinking about incidences where her life was changed from learning from other people. The take away from all this is that your level of enlightenment has progressed from learning from other people. But to really do that effectively, you can’t just have the intention to do that. Rather, you have to create an actual SYSTEM. And when you create such a system, then you articulate that system in your 12 minute a day visualization.&nbsp;</p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent">About the Hosts:</strong></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">John Mitchell</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">John’s story is pretty amazing.

And when you create such a system, then you articulate that system in your 12 minute a day visualization.&nbsp;</p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent">About the Hosts:</strong></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">John Mitchell</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">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 &amp; Grow Rich.

John figured out the full secret and a 12 minute a day technique to apply it.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">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.

John is teaching one of the stars of the University of Texas basketball team think it be it. And he is creating the athlete’s perfect mindset. But this applies to anyone as well. And here are the components of the perfect mindset. First, do your best. And defined in detail what that is. Secondly embrace and enjoy the process. You become great from repetition and hard work. Third, be your biggest supporter. With the attitude that you can accomplish anything you set your mind to. Fourth, learn from your mistakes and setbacks and treat everything as feedback. Fifth when you’re playing your sport, be in the moment, trust your training. Six, have a higher gear. In crunch time, you need to go to a higher level mentally. And seventh, understand how the human mind works. And appreciate that 95% your daily actions and thoughts are unconscious. Therefore if you’re not controlling those unconscious daily actions, you’re playing the game of life at 10% – 20% of your potential. As the conversation went on, Kelly had some great additions. You always want to be a grower, who is constantly evolving. You want to also define what moves the needle and focus on that. And you want to be someone who emits a positive energy. And as you can see, this perfect mindset would apply to anyone as well as an athlete.&nbsp;</p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent">About the Hosts:</strong></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">John Mitchell</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">John’s story is pretty amazing.

By being the type of person that does attract success. As Kelly points out, BE then DO. John makes the analogy of someone trying to catch a butterfly. It’s very elusive. Just like success. But if you become the person that you need to be in order to be successful, you will attract success. Kelly talked about the idea of envisioning the best version of yourself 10 years from now. And envisioning what you would have accomplished. Then seeing the type of person you would need to be in order to attain that level of success. It’s a great analogy. Putting yourself in a third-party position to see the person you need to be in order to attract the success you want is a fundamental concept. In this podcast John also points out the power of the think it be it method. Your defining exactly the person you want to be, exactly what you want to accomplish, and precisely how you can achieve your clearly defined goals. Then you feed that to yourself every day using the think it be it template. Since 95% of a person’s daily thoughts and actions are unconscious, when you feed that to your subconscious mind that’s who you actually become. Your subconscious mind makes you into what you’re feeding it. Powerfully simple.

The art of understanding before making the effort to be understood. Recently John interviewed the athletic director at the University of Texas for his weekly program for the 18 head coaches in the athletic department. The athletic director’s big message was that he was refining the art of really listening. It’s interesting because as the athletic director, usually he’s in the position of telling people what to do. But he has realized that to get his message across, he’s got to convey to his audience that he listens to them. And that they feel heard. Then John posed the question to Kelly. She in a similar position to the athletic director. As the CEO of her company, she’s got a message to convey. But she also has to listen. Kelly had some great insights on this. She says it’s so important to make people feel seen and understood. Once that happens, they listen to her message. And to conclude the episode John and Kelly talk about how the think it be it 12 minute day methodology causes them to be better listeners.

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.</p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent">About the Hosts:</strong></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">John Mitchell</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">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 &amp; 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.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">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.

This positions the customer for what’s to follow. Then he explains that most people are playing the game of life at 10% – 20% of their potential. For someone that has self identified as a high achiever, that’s a big problem. That’s the emotional hook. And this illustrates something else is important. Really understanding your target customer.

Therefore it’s critical to influence one’s mindset in one’s morning routine. In this episode John walks us through the various aspects of life. Your health – and how that is a state of mind regarding exercise, eating right, and sleep. How your marriage is a state of mind. Being flexible, patient, and thoughtful to your spouse. And making them feel loved and appreciated. Then career is discussed. John and Kelly pointed out that the entrepreneur is the biggest factor in any business. The business is a reflection of what’s going on in the entrepreneur mind. More specifically the owner’s understanding what moves the needle. Also understanding their unique strategy for success. As well as the linchpin issue to go to the next level. During this podcast the question is posed as to whether people are thinking about their mindset. Kelly points out that the vast majority of people are just getting up and doing life. Not even thinking about their mindset. Only 2% of people do that. At the end of the podcast John points out the ideal morning routine to impact one’s success in life. It takes 12 minutes a day. Feeding the succinct articulation of your life to yourself each day.</p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent">About the Hosts:</strong></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">John Mitchell</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">John’s story is pretty amazing.

Interesting how many people say that. And in this episode John points out that he can explain how the human mind works in under three minutes. And then over an additional two minutes he can explain how to take that information and apply it so that you can create the exceptional life. During this podcast John and Kelly discussed the fact that only about 2% of people do anything to materially impact their mindset. And that 2% is also the 2% that is the most successful.

In this episode you learn that when John was 40 years old, he started focusing on doing his best because he saw that was the only thing he really controlled. But his understanding of doing his best was simply getting up early each day – 5:30 AM. But once he got into his 50s, his understanding of doing his best greatly expanded. To essentially five things. Effort (getting up early), continually growing and learning consistently each week in an area that was strategic relative to what he wanted to accomplish. Also defining the two or three things that move the needle. Also being self-aware. And the fifth one was tuning into reality – what is reality telling him. What a difference in results John saw by having that expanded understanding of what doing his best really meant. As Kelly dove into this topic, at about the age of 40 she became more focused on defining what doing her best meant. For her, it came down to establishing immense clarity. Exactly the person she wanted to be, exactly what you want to accomplish, and precisely how she was going to achieve your clearly defined goals. So clarity was the key to doing her best. At the end of the podcast John explains how to apply the concept of doing one’s best to the think it be a 12 minute day technique. In your template, you simply define what doing your best is. When you read that each day, it gets wired in your autopilot.&nbsp;</p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent">About the Hosts:</strong></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">John Mitchell</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">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 &amp; 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.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">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.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">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.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">John’s technique was profiled on the cover of Time Magazine.

So the right actions happen automatically without thinking. During this podcast they talk about some key behaviors that create a great romantic relationship. Such as having a weekly relationship talk with your spouse. How to make yourself “flexible, patient, and thoughtful” automatically without thinking. During this podcast, John and Kelly revealed the one thing that once they learned it, their lives were never the same. That 95% of their daily actions are unconscious. Therefore you don’t control your daily actions. You only control your intentions. And as this relates to having a great romantic relationship, lots of people have the intention. But the only way to create the behaviors for having a great romantic relationship happens by rewiring your autopilot. During this podcast John explains how to rewire your autopilot relative to your marriage or romantic relationship using the full think it be it 12 minute a day method. And Kelly explains how to do the lite version of this.</p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent">About the Hosts:</strong></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">John Mitchell</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">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.

Sometimes your disappointed with things. You want a certain outcome and it doesn’t happen. But both John and Kelly have discovered over time that things tend to work out for the best.

John recently got back from visiting in person with the mental coach for the USC football team. His name is Tim Kight. He’s probably the top sports psychologist in the country. In his first year at USC he turned them around from four and eight the prior year to 11 and three. John talks about how the human mind works. And said that today there is a bifurcation in society. Between people that have control over themselves and those that don’t. And as proof of that, John outlines what the average life looks like in America today. 67% of people don’t have $400 to the name. Two thirds of people are either obese or seriously overweight. And only 35% of people, according to Gallup, are happy. And only one in 10 people has a great romantic relationship. If you really think about it, all that’s a function of control over oneself. In this podcast John and Kelly note that there are two things everyone has to overcome. First, everyone is innately wired for survival. And that causes the vast majority of your thoughts to be fear-based and you’re reactive. Second thing everyone must overcome is that 95% of a person’s daily actions are unconscious. And that’s significant because one’s daily actions determine your success in life. Additionally John explains how the human mind works. Conscious mind sets your intention and is influenced by logic. Subconscious mind controls your everyday actions and is influenced only by repetition. Here’s an example. Let’s say you want to lose weight. Conscious mind sets the intention to lose weight based on the logic of the health benefits. But the reason people don’t lose weight is not from lack of intention. Rather, it’s from not influencing the part of their brain that controls your daily actions. Your subconscious mind. And the subconscious mind is only&nbsp;influenced by repetition. And that’s why the think it be a 12 minute a day technique is so powerful. As you feed the succinct articulation of your life to yourself each day. That’s the repetition you need to create the desired consistent daily actions. During this podcast John then explains what he learned from Tim Kight, the USC mental coach. He says that once an event happens, some occurrence, the first thing a person does is focus on it. Become aware of it. That’s followed by self talk. Which then creates emotion. And then the emotion creates action. Tim has a powerful formula: E+R=O. Event plus response equals outcome. Your response to events in life determines your success in life.&nbsp;</p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent">About the Hosts:</strong></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">John Mitchell</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">John’s story is pretty amazing.

This topic was inspired by John listening to Tony Robbins on the impact theory podcast. In this episode John mentions that you live up or down to your identity. Most people create their identity by default. And one’s identity is determined by the stories you tell yourself. Kelly mentions that this is so closely aligned to what think it be it is all about. Which is you create your identity first on paper. Exactly the person you want to be, exactly what you want to accomplish, and precisely how you achieve your clearly defined goals. Then you feed that identity to yourself 12 minutes a day, using the think it be it template. After approximate 30 days, your subconscious mind accepts that identity and then your subconscious mind begins influencing your unconscious daily thoughts and actions automatically without thinking. Then those upgraded daily actions create the life you want. Powerfully simple. It relates back to exactly what Tony Robbins was talking about. You either live up or down to your identity. Way better to create the identity you want rather than having it created by default. John also talks about how in your identity you need a compelling future. You gotta be telling yourself a story that is a compelling future. To wrap up this episode John explains that today with AI it is projected that lots of people in the 2030s will have a chip implanted in their head to access the Internet solely from the thoughts. But it’s noted that today, there is a bifurcation in society. Between the people that have control over themselves, and the people that don’t. And most people don’t have control over themselves. But what advantage for those that do. Think it be it is the methodology by which a person gains control over themselves.</p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent">About the Hosts:</strong></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">John Mitchell</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">John’s story is pretty amazing.

The Einstein of marriage in the United States is John and Julie Gottman. Based on their extensive research, they truly are the top in their field of marriage and relationships. Based on their research, we all have unconscious tripwires from childhood wounds. It is critical that you know your spouse’s childhood wounds as well as your own. When you understand these, your relationship goes to a deeper level. John also mentions that you have to have deep conversations with your spouse. That’s the path to a better relationship. As John and discuss the matter further, they mentioned the idea of repair. When you have a disagreement or fight with your spouse, each spouse should be aware of the concept of repair. Which means after reflection, quickly coming back to your spouse so you can repair a problem. Get you back on track after tension. The people that understand this concept and practice it have good relationships. As this&nbsp;podcast wrapped up John mentioned that the Gottman’s have a new book around the idea of having eight dates to improve your relationship. Before each date, you prepare for a specific topic. Kelly and John are going to test this out with their respective spouses.</p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent">About the Hosts:</strong></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">John Mitchell</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">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 &amp; 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.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">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.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">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.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">John’s technique was profiled on the cover of Time Magazine.

It stars Jane Fonda, Candace Bergen, Diane Keaton and Mary Steembergen. It’s about four women who are in their 60s and 70s. The romantic and sexual side of their life has dried up. But then they read the book 50 shades of gray. It re-energizes the sensual side of each one of them. When John watched this movie, he watched it through the lens of Think It Be It. The reason each of the women have lost the romantic/intimacy side of their life is because they have nothing in their life that pulled their lives forward. Like a daily visualization. They were letting themselves be innately wired for survival and doing nothing about it. The effect was as each got older, their lives were contracting. Getting smaller. They become more fear-based. More focused on the limitations than the possibilities. The net effect is it made both John and Kelly appreciate the profound value of having a daily visualization where you articulate exactly the person you want to be, exactly what you want to accomplish, and precisely how you can achieve your clearly defined goals. That’s how you create the desired life you want in the future. And that daily visualization pulls your thoughts forward. Which then creates the actions which creates the life you want. Powerfully simple.</p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent">About the Hosts:</strong></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">John Mitchell</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">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 &amp; 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.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">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.

And how humans are wired for survival not for success. And that plays out regarding the negatives in human nature. We tend to be self focused, we tend to be reactive. As humans, we tend to be lazy. We tend to be unfocused. Easily distracted. That’s human nature. But there is some good to human nature. We have an innate desire to help other people. And John made an interesting point. That all the negatives regarding human nature are all related to being wired for survival. By being wired for survival, that’s what kept us alive 5000 years ago when there was a danger around every corner. It causes us to be fear-based and reactive. Which is exactly the opposite of how we want to be if we want to be productive creative and happy. During this podcast John and Kelly point out that you have to intentionally and proactively override human nature if you want to be successful. And you do that through the think it be it 12 minute day morning routine.</itunes:summary><podcast:transcript url="https://transcripts.captivate.fm/transcript/f6a42f4c-3e7a-45db-807d-d8a9684ce98b/transcript.srt" type="application/srt" rel="captions"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcripts.captivate.fm/transcript/f6a42f4c-3e7a-45db-807d-d8a9684ce98b/index.html" type="text/html"/></item><item><title>You Must Have An “Intelligent Plan” For Your Life</title><itunes:title>You Must Have An &quot;Intelligent Plan&quot; For Your Life</itunes:title><description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode John and Kelly talk the importance of having an intelligent plan for your life. John talked about going out to LA to see his stepson who is a musician. He is struggling to have an intelligent plan for his life regarding paying his bills. Kelly mentioned that there were times in her life where she didn’t have an intelligent plan. John said the same thing. Then John told about going to waffle house and giving the waitress at $300 tip. Along with a note that told her that he admired her. That she was hard-working and not a victim. That he bet she had an intelligent plan for her life. And at the end of the note John then went on to say “your life is going to work out. This is a message from God”. The advice to listeners was to evaluate whether you have an intelligent plan for your life. And in using our 12 minute a day methodology, you feed that intelligent plan to yourself every day. And if it doesn’t seem intelligent to you after dialing in what reality is telling you, then you change your plan.</p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent">About the Hosts:</strong></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">John Mitchell</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">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 &amp; 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.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">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.

As Kelly is about to turn 50 in a couple months, she has spent a lot of time thinking about aging. And she really likes the wisdom that comes from aging. The increase confidence. Caring less what other people think. Then John discusses the fact that aging gives you perspective. He says that the older you get, the more you realize that most things don’t matter. Only a few things matter. John shared the observation in his own life that he sees cases of where he is evolving. He mentioned that when he was in his early 50s and met his wife Ginger, she commented on the fact that every once while he would throw F bombs around. John didn’t like that part of himself because that’s now how he was raised. Wasn’t very classy. So he immediately fixed it because it didn’t serve him. He also a few years later observed that sometimes he would get mad out loud. Oftentimes it was around technology. But he realized that what you say out loud is 10 times more powerful than what you think. He was only feeding the anger by venting out loud. So he stopped it. The lesson is that as you get older, you see ways to improve yourself and often times you do. John also mentioned that as he gets older, he gets more and more grateful. He also said that one of the latest things he’s begun doing is each evening after getting on the treadmill, he takes about 30 minutes and just writes down what he’s observing in life.

As Kelly is about to turn 50 in a couple months, she has spent a lot of time thinking about aging. And she really likes the wisdom that comes from aging. The increase confidence. Caring less what other people think. Then John discusses the fact that aging gives you perspective. He says that the older you get, the more you realize that most things don’t matter. Only a few things matter. John shared the observation in his own life that he sees cases of where he is evolving. He mentioned that when he was in his early 50s and met his wife Ginger, she commented on the fact that every once while he would throw F bombs around. John didn’t like that part of himself because that’s now how he was raised. Wasn’t very classy. So he immediately fixed it because it didn’t serve him. He also a few years later observed that sometimes he would get mad out loud. Oftentimes it was around technology. But he realized that what you say out loud is 10 times more powerful than what you think. He was only feeding the anger by venting out loud. So he stopped it. The lesson is that as you get older, you see ways to improve yourself and often times you do. John also mentioned that as he gets older, he gets more and more grateful. He also said that one of the latest things he’s begun doing is each evening after getting on the treadmill, he takes about 30 minutes and just writes down what he’s observing in life. He says it’s powerful when you can articulate what your observing rather than just thinking what you’re observing.</itunes:summary><podcast:transcript url="https://transcripts.captivate.fm/transcript/225dc8c6-4949-4385-ba2e-7bb39cd8782f/transcript.srt" type="application/srt" rel="captions"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcripts.captivate.fm/transcript/225dc8c6-4949-4385-ba2e-7bb39cd8782f/index.html" type="text/html"/></item><item><title>Being A Conduit Of Learning – A System</title><itunes:title>Being A Conduit Of Learning - A System</itunes:title><description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode John and Kelly talk about the importance of having a “system” for growing. A weekly system that is both consistent as well as strategic relative to what you want to accomplish. When you have such a system, you become what they call a “conduit of learning”. Kelly talks about how every Sunday she figures out what she’s going to listen to during the coming week. And then sets it up so she can listen to the content. John then explains his system. He sources three different podcast hosts. And every Monday morning he looks at the latest podcast from those three hosts. He then decides the two specific episodes he wants to listen to during the coming week and downloads them. And then he listens to them why he is exercising or driving. So it takes no additional time out of his busy schedule. John also notes that he takes notes on what he learns. And then at the start of each new quarter, he reviews his notes from the prior quarter. John mentions that the two biggest things he learned last quarter is the critical importance regarding tuning into reality. What is reality telling him regarding what he’s doing. He also talks about learning the power of doing what you say you’re going to do.</p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent">About the Hosts:</strong></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">John Mitchell</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">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 &amp; 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.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">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.

For John, he answers “living the dream”. Regarding influencing yourself with your answer, John says it sets the tone for your inner world and how you view your life. John also points out that life is a state of mind. So his reply to this daily question is really important. And it’s way better to have a unique reply other than “FINE” as most people answer. Kelly then explains the powerful impact your answer has on other people. It’s truly an exchange of energy.

In fact, John says that a person’s morning routine will determine their success in life. That one thing more than anything else. And he talks about the think it be it 12 minute a day technique. John and Kelly’s morning routine is simply applying the 12 minute a day technique to their respective lives. Reading the succinct articulation of their life from the life GPS template each day. John talks about how simple the concept is. Step one is you create immense clarity about your life. Exactly the person you want to be, exactly what you want to accomplish, and precisely how you can achieve your clearly defined goals. Then step two is feed that clarity to yourself each day – using the think it be it template. That’s what makes everything succinct so it only takes 12 minutes a day to read. And then the third step. After 21 days of feeding that clarity to yourself each day, it then influences your daily thoughts and actions. And those upgraded daily actions then create the life you want. Powerfully simple. John and Kelly laugh about why people can’t get what seems to be so profoundly simple.</p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent">About the Hosts:</strong></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">John Mitchell</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">John’s story is pretty amazing.

In fact, John says that a person’s morning routine will determine their success in life. That one thing more than anything else. And he talks about the think it be it 12 minute a day technique. John and Kelly’s morning routine is simply applying the 12 minute a day technique to their respective lives. Reading the succinct articulation of their life from the life GPS template each day. John talks about how simple the concept is. Step one is you create immense clarity about your life. Exactly the person you want to be, exactly what you want to accomplish, and precisely how you can achieve your clearly defined goals. Then step two is feed that clarity to yourself each day – using the think it be it template. That’s what makes everything succinct so it only takes 12 minutes a day to read. And then the third step. After 21 days of feeding that clarity to yourself each day, it then influences your daily thoughts and actions. And those upgraded daily actions then create the life you want. Powerfully simple. John and Kelly laugh about why people can’t get what seems to be so profoundly simple.</p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent">About the Hosts:</strong></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">John Mitchell</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">John’s story is pretty amazing.

So he decides go find the top book the world on success and apply that book literally Word for Word to his life. That book is think and grow Rich. It’s been read by over 100 million people. In the book it says there’s a secret for success. But the author only gives us half the secret. John figures out the full secret and a 12 minute a day technique to apply it. It causes his income to go up by 25 times over what he was making the prior 20 years. John talks about looking for a true success formula throughout his life.

Kelly talks about when she first became an entrepreneur in the employment field. What drove her to make the leap. And Kelly talks about the lessons she learned. John talks about when he launched into being an entrepreneur in the real estate development field when he was 30 years old. After starting out as a CPA. How he learned that not everyone has the same sense of fairness and the desire to be fair with everyone. Kelly then talks about the life-changing moment when she met John and he taught her the 12 minute a day technique that applies the full secret of the book think and grow Rich. How that gave her control over her life. It took an outsider to enlighten Kelly. John also talks about when he was frustrated with his life at 50. Not as successful as he thought he should be. So he decides go find the top book the world on success and apply that book literally Word for Word to his life. That book is think and grow Rich. It’s been read by over 100 million people. In the book it says there’s a secret for success. But the author only gives us half the secret. John figures out the full secret and a 12 minute a day technique to apply it. It causes his income to go up by 25 times over what he was making the prior 20 years. John talks about looking for a true success formula throughout his life. He knew if you ever found one, it had to be simple. And sure enough, it was simple. Create immense clarity about your life, feed it to yourself every day, it then impacts your daily actions and those upgraded daily actions then creates life you want. Powerfully simple. The big take away is when you feel stuck in your life, getting unstuck will require the input of someone else. For Kelly it was meeting John. For John, it was reading the book think and grow Rich at the exact right time.</p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent">About the Hosts:</strong></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">John Mitchell</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">John’s story is pretty amazing.

John and Kelly have developed an organizational system (daily to do form and weekly to do form) that they think is great. There’s three components to the system. You plan your day the night before, you time block your day, and you identify your top three priorities each day. The key is to have a great system. Using their daily to do form, the template lines out each day by every half hour. To do’s are scheduled at a specific time. Then a person identifies their top three priorities for the day and highlights those priorities on the form. John and Kelly also talk about the weekly form – which has six or seven categories that are customized to each person. During the podcast John and Kelly also talk about the importance of making the morning all about your agenda and the afternoon for being responsive to other people. The afternoon is when you return phone calls and as well as emails. And at the end of the podcast they talk about how their organizational system is reinforced in the think it be it 12 minute day technique.</p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent">About the Hosts:</strong></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">John Mitchell</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">John’s story is pretty amazing.

John and Kelly have developed an organizational system (daily to do form and weekly to do form) that they think is great. There’s three components to the system. You plan your day the night before, you time block your day, and you identify your top three priorities each day. The key is to have a great system. Using their daily to do form, the template lines out each day by every half hour. To do’s are scheduled at a specific time. Then a person identifies their top three priorities for the day and highlights those priorities on the form. John and Kelly also talk about the weekly form – which has six or seven categories that are customized to each person. During the podcast John and Kelly also talk about the importance of making the morning all about your agenda and the afternoon for being responsive to other people. The afternoon is when you return phone calls and as well as emails. And at the end of the podcast they talk about how their organizational system is reinforced in the think it be it 12 minute day technique.</p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent">About the Hosts:</strong></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">John Mitchell</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent">John’s story is pretty amazing.

This positions the customer for what’s to follow. Then he explains that most people are playing the game of life at 10% – 20% of their potential. For someone that has self identified as a high achiever, that’s a big problem. That’s the emotional hook. And this illustrates something else is important. Really understanding your target customer. Kelly was able to influence her new client by being blunt and asking questions rather than doing a lot of talking. And from those questions, she fed the new client the emotional hook.

John mentions that this is one of the seven habits of highly successful people. He recently read that book again and this was the habit that really caught his attention. Kelly and John talk about how innately we don’t like people who think differently than we do. That happens at a subconscious level. But of course people don’t think like we do. Everyone is simply a reflection of three things. Their genetics, what has come into their consciousness to this point in their life, and whether they have estrogen or testosterone flowing through their veins. Everyone is unique. To expect that people will think like you do doesn’t make sense. And that’s why it makes so much sense to apply this idea of seeking to understand before trying to be understood.

John mentions that this is one of the seven habits of highly successful people. He recently read that book again and this was the habit that really caught his attention. Kelly and John talk about how innately we don’t like people who think differently than we do. That happens at a subconscious level. But of course people don’t think like we do. Everyone is simply a reflection of three things. Their genetics, what has come into their consciousness to this point in their life, and whether they have estrogen or testosterone flowing through their veins. Everyone is unique. To expect that people will think like you do doesn’t make sense. And that’s why it makes so much sense to apply this idea of seeking to understand before trying to be understood.

Second, focus on what moves the needle. And then third, personal growth. With a system.

John then mentioned that in the last year or so he’s added two more things to his prior list of three things regarding doing his best. The adds were tuning into reality and being self-aware. John and Kelly both talked about the value of getting perspective. Doing so by setting aside time to think two times a week. Deep think using the technique they’ve developed. They also explain the one thing that once they learned it, both their lives were changed. Realizing that their daily actions determine their success yet they don’t control their daily actions. Only their intentions. But you can control your daily actions by rewiring your autopilot. That’s what their 12 minute day technique is all about. To wrap up, John and Kelly gave listeners how to do their best using their 12 minute day technique or the lite version of how to influence the subconscious mind.

Only their intentions. But you can control your daily actions by rewiring your autopilot. That’s what their 12 minute day technique is all about. To wrap up, John and Kelly gave listeners how to do their best using their 12 minute day technique or the lite version of how to influence the subconscious mind. Using reminders.</itunes:summary><podcast:transcript url="https://transcripts.captivate.fm/transcript/bc16bbed-cab9-4971-80e5-658fae49da46/transcript.srt" type="application/srt" rel="captions"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcripts.captivate.fm/transcript/bc16bbed-cab9-4971-80e5-658fae49da46/index.html" type="text/html"/></item><item><title>Tuning Into Reality In Order To Be More Successful</title><itunes:title>Tuning Into Reality In Order To Be More Successful</itunes:title><description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode John and Kelly talk about how success comes down to tuning into reality.

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 &amp; Grow Rich.

Therefore you don’t control your daily actions. You only control your intentions. And as this relates to having a great romantic relationship, lots of people have the intention. But the only way to create the behaviors for having a great romantic relationship happens by rewiring your autopilot. During this podcast John explains how to rewire your autopilot relative to your marriage or romantic relationship using the full think it be it 12 minute a day method. And Kelly explains how to do the lite version of this.</itunes:summary><podcast:transcript url="https://transcripts.captivate.fm/transcript/03d88d53-3fce-45d2-a296-0131f547cb77/transcript.srt" type="application/srt" rel="captions"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcripts.captivate.fm/transcript/03d88d53-3fce-45d2-a296-0131f547cb77/index.html" type="text/html"/></item><item><title>I Don’t Have the Time | TIBI005</title><itunes:title>I Don’t Have the Time</itunes:title><description><![CDATA[<p>Too often Up Your Success programs require a couple of hours a day to start.
