The house mindset mentor. My man, man, welcome. You ve got a book out called level up how to get focused, stop crossing greater life, yes, sir, and we ve been in this similar space for a decade together. Even doing your shove rain years overdue in my four ten and we both experience lie and also, Resource aloud and interviewed a lot in just dived into this content for a long time,

and one of the things that I see that a lot of people straw with is having the motivation to go for authentically what they want. They want to accomplish achieve a manifesto. and but they don't have the motivation or the desire to actually consistently show up for that work to attract and draw into them faster and I'm curious if people are looking to attract and manifest faster what they want. What are the three things that are going to need? let can go off in order to draw their desire to them the faster the good question. This great question I'm excited about this. So so, when I wrote the book, the original title was action because I looked around like art. I have thirteen hundred broadcasts, others It reminds her mentor like what do I teach? What is it that I actually teach- and I looked at- I was like the majority of it- is tips and tricks, neurological, psychological stuff- to actually take action, because we both know everyone. Listening knows people,

They want something in their life, but they won't. I should take action towards it, and so the entire book is was gonna, be Take action as like us are really sexy, relic level up son sexier. as I look at life, is like a video game which is you know when you to a video game, it be the most boring videogame if she played it and there was no chance. Is there were no bad guys any of that and everytime. You experience a challenge. You experience a bad guy even when you die or fail in a level that always makes you better and then it allows you to be and when you do get to the next level, and then next album. So it's it's just the idea of leveling up and seeing that every single challenge is brought to you for that. But there's there's three parts to it in the book. The first one is why you don't take action which, perfect that so we can talk about here. The second is how to take in the third- is how to actually turn it through narrow process, your action into habits, and so the two, I'll give you two things that are the main ones I'll give an easy one. That's that that will be the third people want to control everything. That's that's. One of the biggest things were like they wanted

troll, which I am a recovering control holick, that's for sure, but I've got to the point of my. For areas if I just take the right action and on heading from the right direction. If I'm taking the right action time will work itself up and so far like, I remember, being twenty one workin on ten hours a week and be like. Why am I not a millionaire yet and I realize now that I'm thirty seven, it was like time just has to catch up. You know it's like we think so much in the short term in it's more of like, if you think, over a decade or two decades, it all works itself out eventually- and I think controls a big piece, but that there's two parts in the book that are or two things that are in in part, one a number one is people's identity of themself and who they think they are, is a real big piece and then the second pieces, the fears that they have so when you look alike, identity, identities, big peace, because we're essential

We're like brought into this world and with these perfect beings that are just have no identity, we don't know a name, we don't know or supposed to do and what I always say is that people are not really. Children are not socialized, we're kind of domesticated, so we so we fit in, and we do exact we're supposed to do and in turn and the average child is reprimanded eight times more than their praised, which means the outer shall thinks. I know what I'm doing some consciously or I'm not good enough subconsciously eight times more than you think, good. I know what I'm doing. I think that turns into a lot of self love problems that we will have in some way. Energy over years we build up this identity of like this is who I am, and this is my personality- Well then, when you look at like the reward of personality in greek was persona, which is the mass that people would wear on stage when they were in place and are you and your personality important time you just have to get rid of the identity, for you think that you are in. So, if you look

identity. Like I see people who are saying like I want to lose thirty pounds and they can consciously want that, but then some consciously they have this identity my whole families, overweight. It runs in my genes, and this is the way that I am I've tried it so many times it has never worked before and we build it. Identity up and think. Well, I consciously want to lose the weight, but it's not going to happen because of this thing. This thing this thing and all of that could it is harder for some people to lose weight than others sure is an impossible for someone. wait, absolutely not enjoying business identity of like or in some was relationships and those identity of like I'm unlovable. It can come from their parents and then its roof didn't being cheated on and we start to build us. I'm I'm unlovable identity and then reflect all of our relationships from then on out, unless we decide to change it, and what am I fear, quotes around identity, as Alan watts says you're, under no obligation to be who you are five minutes ago, they can get us change, it just decided me some yesterday, if you really want to,

And then the second data holes we will back, I guess would be the third that holds people back is the fears that they create in dumb. And fears are real, big one that people we can. We can dive two. There really hold a lot of people back and in how to work through and overcome this year's as well. Why do people create fears that hold them back from a track? Your manifesting war? Yes, so when you look at fierce, it's really interesting, because so many people are held ak by AL tickets. To back to, when I look at the fears, I categorize them into different types of fears. Ah, there's primal fears in a primal fear. Is there is physical pain or death? That's attached to it, and so we should have primal fears of what kept our species alive is alive, but there's actually one to two years that people are born with? Ah, it's the fear of loud noises in the fear of falling are the two that are built into her human circuitry. Everything has learnt and so out of all the ones that are learned. Your primal fears, which is actually like physical pain or death attached to it, which we need to survive,

the other ones are intellectual fierce in an intellectual fear would be like Irina, a whether our last night with a few thousand people. We are talking of the book and- and- and I said, what's your number one fear everyone put in the chat thing- that's holding back the most ninety percent of them as a fear failure. So it's like the fear of failure, rejection of fear of not being loved the fear of running out of money. All of those are intellectual, fierce cause, they're not the existing in reality in this moment and there's a quota. The book that I really loved, which is fear an intellectual feel like we have in we're talking about, is a perception of a imagined future of it in the key part is imagined future that they may never often in its happening right now in so what's happening as we have these, we think and we feel, like intellectual few fears, feel like primal fears in our body, which is theirs danger. I shouldn't go and do this and so on.

I have this fear. Failure. There is danger. I shouldn't go and tried to create the life that I want. I shouldn't tried to manifest life that I want, and so we have these fears and then so people, and so get like louis I've got this fear. Failure. Tell me how to overcome it and then here's the craziest part is when you look at a fear that is an intellectual, fearing say, ok, nodded have identified. It, however, come at the key to it. As you can't overcome some, it doesn't exist. So how do you like dull? But then you you write, so that's that's it. That's the key right, so so at first off that people need to like really get into their heads first off, as you cannot overcome something doesn't exist. You are creating in your mind the bogeyman and all day you. fighting the bohemian, but it They look at me and doesn't exist in the first place and at your fear, failure to fear rejection, the fear of not being good enough, not smart enough, not pretty enough to have the success it. You want the impostors syndrome, all of those are just figments of our imagination and were fighting all day long and they don't. I should truly exist, and so

what it comes down to is okay, I can overcome it, but it's still kind of lives. Inside of me from my childhood right, and so what I've been teaching people as it's not about overcoming the parts of you that exists. It's about integrating the parts of you that exist, and so it's like you can either fear failure like, I am afraid of failing all the time and I screw up at the time right and that's just the way that it goes, but it drives me to create better content. It drives me to crave better stuff, and so the way I like to look at the fears that you do out that are intellectual fierce is they are tools for your tool belt where it's like? Okay, I, steer failure. I feel it inside of my body which is usually you feel at first, you don't notice the fear in your brain, usually like I feel kind of anxious right now and say you notice the fear if your body, it's like what am I afraid of right now, I'm afraid of feeling. Okay, I notice it I'm not trying to get rid of it cause you can't get rid of parts of you. You know. If you look at like internal family systems, it's a a version of therapy, it's the different parts of you inside can say: okay,

It's part of me is afraid of failing. I can listen to that part of me. I could say how can I use this fear to actually help me create better content or helped me create write a better book. You know, if I'm afraid of like putting this book on it. Just completely flopping couldn't do that right or I can say I remember I was writing it out like I really want to be good. It may do more rounds of edits, which in turn hopefully made it a better book, then give more feedback from people and make sure your more prepare. and things like that, and there can be a how can we make, that we pursue the things we want and knock paralyzed by deemed to be perfect due to our fear of failure, not yet so that I think, is perfectly which is the third, the third part of of chapter one, which is what holds people. Access identity, there's heard part one which is identity, which is fears, and then the purpose of people have- and there comes a point-

life. We have to realise that failure and in six or not different there, there are two sides of the same coin. You know only look at the creator of honda said. Success is ninety nine percent failure, like you view, and I we put out over a thousand pod chasm separating emily thirteen, Thirteen hundred, I think, you're fed fifteen hundred right whose leave dragged her point without some flop. right. We are, we ve done some things which are not the best we put out content. That is not done really well, but what is really it is like you stop looking at numbers- and you say, what's my purpose actually behind this thing, my one of my very first mentors used to always say to me and you've got to get off yourself and you've got to get on purpose of yourself is thinking about all of your intellectual fears. You know if, if we're talking about creating podcast episodes right because we're both podcasters, if I don't want to start a pod casket, I'm afraid of my. I work at a job and I'm afraid of Nancy and hr making fun of me for it right. I could it's a fear of a failure to fear of judgments, a fear of not being accepted, kicked out of the tribe, whatever might be

and so we can look at it that way and say well, I'm not going to start some afraid of people judging me or we and that's being on self and thinking about myself. But if my purposes like for me my purpose is, I remember what it feels like. I was nine years old, my dad was an alcoholic. I remember him passing away when I was fifteen from being o'clock. I remember the trauma that came from it and I remember what it felt like to be an absolute suffering in my mind, and it was hell I I Don'T- would never want to go back there. You couldn't pay me to go back to their moment, but, sir, you working on myself and in trying to become in coaching myself in reading books and going to courses and doing therapy, I know that I've gotten myself to a place rife. I can overcome things that become hard and I feel obligated to teach out to other people. That is my purpose, and my purpose is to have people not be and suffering that I was in at one point time, because I know what it feels like and I I hate that other people in there and

I don't care what anyone else thinks about me, because my purpose is so strong that it doesn't matter. If somebody says this, odd sucks if it doesn't matter when I get a one star review that people are like. I love is content, but I hate the causes that might but that's authentically meet right in some it sounds like when, when people get in alignment with their purpose,. it doesn't matter what fears they might have or doesn't matter what people but they're afraid of people saying them, because when you are truly on purpose, if you're willing to risk making a fool of yourself being judged for failing, because you care more about the purpose, then that fear for sure one hundred percent. I care I care more about what in what's interesting about the fear that we have of oh I'm gonna be judged. If I put this out there. If I do this thing, there's some small amount of people that judge you or that will be there such a small. A haters in the world and are such a huge amount. People who will ass. She said this is amazing. This is great, and so we we think

can be way more haters than there actually are there such a small meta, haters and there's so much there's a large amount of lovers that are out there in the world and a lot of people. Just don't start the thing that they really truly want to, because they're afraid of just that one person that could possibly say something to us true and something something I think about a lot- and this has helped me he overcome any insecurity about putting something out or watching something or the fear of failure is really thinking about. My future self and sang with my future self be proud that I didn't take the shot or more proud that I actually did take the shot. I failed. I learned something from it in and lead to something even better after that failure or that loss, and I don't think our future selves will ever say I'm proud of you for not taken a chance now approach to you for having a dream and not going for it. explore for playing small and for shying away, because you are afraid of what a few people might think or say about you. I'm proud of you way to go. I don't think we'll our future self would ever say that I don't think are you,

how a mentor whatever say you not is a good thing that you didn't go for it you to give it a try as it it doesn't matter. If we succeed your win everything we do, but it's the effort of doing it, I think, is where we gain glide and ourselves well, I think, that's really cool, as also our confidence comes from, like a lot of people will ask like how do I let it be less? How do I get confident right? How do I build confidence in myself and they think I have to go? Do something I have to succeed

that's not necessarily the truth. Sometimes I think a lot of our confidence comes from feeling fear doing it. Anyways, maybe not having the results that we actually wanted to, but in turn, looked at it and said been really proud that I showed up for myself, yes and that built confidence into huge tot young shop. For you, that's big, but a lot of people don't know what their purposes or they feel like. They have too many ideas too many passions and the dunno which direction to go. So what have you discovered about how to discover or find your purpose at this stage of life and Is there a formula you teach people yet so there's that there's a couple of things d, the the thing I am waiting else's and most people don't know what their passions are. They don't know what the purposes more than I hear that I have too many of them. I heard a couple that last night, when I was when I was lives, and some people said the day they did have too many things are they could do, but like I dont know what my passion is. I don't know my purposes and then I ask em.

like will. How often do you do something new and they like not very often- and I was like so so- here's that the key to it is it's. Ok, right now for someone's listening, not to know what their purposes It's ok to not do at their passion is, but it is not ok to not wake up, every single day, and not being constant pursuit to find what tat passion is. If you don't know what it is and so, if in that takes try new things. Of course you have to try a ton of new things like, for instance, Really out things. You don't like death, Zactly, an intra things like that, we're? Gonna, like that at all, like you know, for in in any other things, that's important. About passion and in purpose, is that your passion doesn't have to be your paycheck, like you can look at people and seal I'm lucky enough you're lucky enough, it were so passionate us and we happened to be paid from it. That's amazing gets by the grace of god the best thing that ever happened to me right, but there other things where it's like some people, like, I really enjoy riding horses in. How do I make money off of horses how to make them my passion? I was like you don't necessarily

to make money off vapor. Maybe you start going well, you know that I do I like to take my horses and I like to teach people that are in the inner city. How to ride horses, or I like to teach people who have. I have a maybe psychological symptoms. of anxiety or by poland, and I've learned at horses calming them down in some sort of way. And you too, How did you want to help them? It doesn't mean you have to make money off of it, but I would say if you found something that you love so much, why don't you try to spend as much of your time doing it in so? If it is this horses thing in may, make a fine brain a year of horses or maybe a costume more money. Can you have a job that you release somewhat enjoy, not hate but you somewhat enjoy, but it gives you enough free time to do the thing that you actually makes you feel alive and so people I say like war. How do I find those things I think my personal lives? I think that that god, the universe speaks to you through energy of the energy that we

you're doing something like what I can do is podcast. I am going to one hundred percent more energy than when we first are the podcast, because this is what actually makes me feel alive like I feel the most alive doing this, and so I think a lot of people need to think like where's, the most energy. For me, where do I have the most curiosity try to learn something? What would I will I do, even if it did it make me any money like I would still by me for years. to make money, often upon catherine handwriting right, new caledonia says you loved and hundreds of pod. Guess it missus provided a dollar off right just because, I love learning about people. I'm obsessive neurology, I'm obsessive learning about like sitting so when we like wise louis waned? He is. Know about mano knows, but that is data wanna, make connection and put this puzzle pieced together of this person, and so it's like it gives me energy to meet people find out what's going on and where they come from and how they became. That yeah I was interviewing, am someone yesterday. My name is generosity and she had a curiosity, and a love for this thing called human design damage is about

your shaming ton of you're you're, not personality tied by your energy type, this awful when you're bored and exaggerate I and she was she had another business her. She was working in the food industry, craning something around food and it wasn't really succeed, but she loved during this other thing, on the side for years like reading people's charts and like really helping them identify their energy and making sure are you in alignment with what you should be doing and to supporting them in that the creation of life. and she did that for years and you now anyone who, for a long time than she made a little bit of money, but she enjoyed it so much that eventually she's like when I try doing more of this and see if I can make money after five six seven years and eventually started making money, then said ok, now more to go off on this, that doesn't We all win right away or you don't have to monetize something you're in right away, mainly at the timing will come later like a day with you in some ways as well.

and maybe, if you lean into curiosity and just keep doing that on the side or the weekends, with your forces, eventually, you could make money. Maybe you can? Maybe you can, but finding the time to to dive into the things that you love war. I think, there's always going to help. You know what I have found. That kind of goes with. That too, that's important is that people want to start something, and I think they should be like making a bunch of money in three months. I found that for jordan people I met that have become like something like big and they ve been able to do something very successful. It takes at least five years. Five to seven is pretty average before, like really starts to take off, I don't know if it's like The universe testing us to be like do you actually want rider? I better keep on this path, but I think the path of mastery something that I really love like. I have my first at. Is a roman numeral for ten thousand cause, I loved the ten thousand our rule. It's on my wrist re yours, I see the single day, and I just love the idea of mastering something, and I think that if we just we find something that were kind of interested in that seems,

trusting. That seems fine. It we start putting energy into it. We start getting better at it, so tiny robins. I says progress, equals happiness when you feel like you're, progressing towards something not making money, but just progressing towards I think it makes you feel good and you want to keep doing it pride and he fast forward five years or seven years and you've become one of the masters of that thing. That's huge and people can write Let's make a start on podcast they can grow following on it and not use you where they can start to monitor. Here. You gotta have some type of skill set. Are some type of mastery, maybe not the master, but you have mastered a part of it and start to attract more financial opportunities. That way, but one of the things I feel like hold tribal back from discovering or purpose tapping into their purpose, taking action on their purpose is the old character they ve been playing for so long.

I see you talked about this in your identity, chap

now, they ve been holding onto an identity that has been developed for them that isn't in their highest best way. That right has been the way society ones. Parents, kids, whatever might be. How can we get the courage to eventually kill off the parts of ourselves that are no longer serving us for our highest sense of purpose? Nea have you ever seen the documentary, Jim and andy on Jim carry yes, so incredible, it isn't alright, so everyone should watch it. So Jim carrey is amazing. He did the movie the man on the moon, like in nineteen eighty nine indoors in a coffin right. He was playing Andy Kaufman right says he was playing Andy Kaufman and he's a method actor, which means that he had to literally become him and he had to play. I'm all day, long for three or four months straight, they were even driver said when he would pick him up in hollywood and drive him home. He would still be into kaufman in the car on the way

it can be any kaufman the way home or on the way, to go and shoot every single day. The crazy part about those at any kaufman also played other characters. So Andy Kaufman's also tony Clifton, which is a whole other character, and so he would if, if they stopped shooting- and he was tony Clifton, he would go home and be tony clifton, and so he was Andy Kaufman some days he was tony Clifton some days he was never Jim carrey in those three or four months, and it's really interesting when you watch it because the people who are like they were in taxi with him in day they were on the show or like he was almost indistinguishable like he was the closest thing to any coffin. I've seen since any kaufman to the boy were even his Otto eighty coffins daughter went ended sessions like almost like me, therapy sessions sitting with Jim, carry as Andy Kaufman as being her dad. That's crazy, crazy right in so what's crazy about those that would have ended. He said he forgot who Jim carry was like. He Lurie forgot his there's, a point where he, the

there was that song and I think it was oriented the song man on the moon new. Like can you be? You know we're going to shoot that the the the video the music for it can be any coffin in his eye. I dont think I can his cause. I lost my sight, so much, not role that when it ended? I forgot what I light of reality did alike. I forgot my belief systems I forgot everything about who Jim carrey was in the quote that he says, and it's actually in the book is I realize if I could lose Jim carrey so easily, then with Jim free and you realize it was just another character that he was playing in his life, he was waking up and unconsciously every morning deciding to be Jim carry and he was being that person and if you see like the spiritual- reckoning he's gone on the past twenty years. That was the beginning of its cause. He lost his identity. You forgot who he was and it shows you that it's like are our identity is something were choosing to be every single day and we can look at ports of ourselves and we can say: do I like this aspect of myself, do I not like this aspect to myself so like there's aspects, myself tat, I like those aspects myself that I thought I d

like and I've changed over years like where things that was the hardest for me was you know my father now being around my mom working a lot is, I don't feel like. I really felt a safe space of love when I was a kid I didn't feel like it was just there and I'm your present. Like my wife, you know her mom and dad are still together. She's got her two sisters or really close. We we were never really close. I never really had that in so we ve enough for ten years in the first couple years, She was way more loving and I couldn't open up to the love like those hard for me to, because I felt uncomforted My nervous system was like, what's going on this person's too close to me, and I didn't feel safer year because it was unfamiliar if a hunt,

percent, even though it should be the safest, derided ride right, you're, like also afraid of their right. You want a budget. You know why india, and so I can me mean, noticing different aspects myself like I'm, not as loving as I think I probably truly am, or what I couldn't be. So let me down upon me, I didn't like it sounds like how do I open myself up to be a little bit more loving, which is hard because you know open yours, but for vulnerable, allows you to meet it before, especially when you love somebody allows you to be really hurt, especially when you ve gone through heartbreaking, you been shooting, broken cheated on divorces. All these things, if you could have, I think, every comes down to work out how we try to have the courage to do it is that twenty cause I've. I would have to tattoos arresting both of the tattoos So the only added to that I have is a tattoo on my arm. When I was first during the podcast, I was really nervous and

When I was, I left, my job was making like a quarter million dollars a year, and I was like I'm going to do this thing. I don't know why it just feels right like the feeling stellt right and I was really fearful and I was like I might go back to work for someone else and my sister comes out. I went home and I was back for thanksgiving two thousand and fifteen the year I started the podcast and she goes hey. Have you ever seen these boxes box from dad of dad stuff- and I was like no and my dad had passed away, you know fourteen years ago at that point- and there were these- you know it's like a t shirt of his his glasses It was as if these letters, my dad, was in jail for a little while, and he wrote letters to us and he wrote a letter, my sister or twentieth birthday, which was a year before he passed when the very end of the letter? It says I hope you live your life with courage, Levin laughter and I will read it and I was like this is actually speaking to me- cause I'm in so much fear right now that I'm gonna go back to work for someone else in literally throw my passion away and I

My dad's handwriting exact handwriting on the inside of my arm right here, yeah it's on the inside of a call and was do anybody anybody's on youtube. So it says: live your life which curs leather laughter, it's exactly Read it, and if the end of that that letter, it's as kurds, love and laughter right, which, if you think, it! I was in so much fear, as in so much fear that I was about to give up my entire passionate everything that I felt like. I was born to do because I just wanted to go back to what was safe and I think everybody feels it and it's like when you feel fear. We're always like. What's a hack, though only hack is you're, gonna have to get yourself to appoint point like I have to do this, or else I'm not going to be able to create the life that I really truly. What right in my biggest fear like I have. I have fears, of course, I'm just a normal person, but my biggest fear like I remember. Louis, I remember sitting the first person who irony that the bass where's my dad nobody,

ever known that a pathway before I remember flying up. We had we had flown up to go, see him and he was still in the hospital. The time, though, he was unconscious were flying, go see him and by the time we got to the airport, we got the news that he had already passed away. So I went up there to go, see somebody being going there for a funeral, and so we re tiny little room in, we were viewing it the casket and he was in the casket, and we were honest this So for that was right. There knows my myself, my grandmother, which was his mom, my mom, my sister, the former surges sitting and I was looking at him and my dad a dreamer- and he was an amazing person, be it a lotta demons that that that he had in his life, his father killed himself. He walked in the room and saw it read after it happened. So he a demon said he judged and overcome he was a dreamer his amazing person, but I remember looking at him

fifteen and being like this guy had so much potential and he didn't follow is potentially didn't. We did. I know that he didn't create the life did he probably would have wanted to and as I can see, that will not become my life. That will never become my life in any sort of way, and so can I feel- here. Of course, I can feel fear, but at some point you ve gotta decide am I gonna live a life, it's full of fear or my gonna start being work regional and life, that's courageous, because we all have a choice, We could go one where we could go the other, but really what it comes down to is like I I I know I'll be ridiculed for putting set out. I know that people are gonna bash, different things that I put out there, but it's more for me if I could feels right in my heart is what I'm going to follow and I think that's what people should think of his work why have energy? What some people like I've, unfair? five years old, I've been in this job. I went to college for this. Unlike you can live too. You know Ninety years old, your halfway through your life, you deliver the rest of the forty five years, doing something that you dont want. Simply because you want

on the wrong path for a little while now, and so I think you get just got to get to a point where you realize there's going to be fear that is Omni president's, always going to be there. It's just the way that we are as humans. You've just gotta, be courageous at some point in time yeah and you talk about- your life, won't change. A lesser identity. Changes still has a great quote from my doctor dispenser. They says you're Personality is your personal reality and somebody people don't like the here that they don't want to change their personality, and it doesn't mean you're, bad or wrong or good are right. It just means. What do you want to create your life? If you want to have a better feeling. sperience and better life. If you want a manifesto track war, you gotta think about identity in your personality. Is that creating the reality around four circuits. It's either driving. into you in a positive way or a negative way. You're there magnetizing more bad things or your enticing more good. Things are based on the choices you make.

Round this. So how do we hideaway identify what our identity is? What's working and what now working for us and how do we start to change our identity to manifest yeah, it's interesting. So I I love talking about manifestation. First off sir oliver sabrina backup- because I I didn't talk about manifestation- the first part when he asked it but as far as manifestation goes, I worry about the law of attraction, light two dozen seventy down to dump seventy thousand eight. When the secret came out and and I remember sitting there and being like alright You're telling me that if I just say monies coming into me, money just gonna comments meal I got sounds I'd, be s, and I was u s off in college, I'm an old like there's no parking, it yourself, you know I'm inducement to manifest a parking spot and so the whole way, as I got twenty five may to drive out like coming at a parks. Finally get a parts permitted apart spots, we write up front and a little in in someone's point out of the very frightened, like that's a fluke, there's no way right

at that point there's no way yeah. It's definitely a coincidence right and and in what I've come to find is like people has accused the stubs to manifestation. The way that I think of of an and I'll give you an example manifestation I've told you the story is, I was in I was in rome in september a more in my wife was were sitting there and she's like so. The podcast become this big thing like its blown up. What are you gonna do like? What's he gonna become an outside, you know what I think I want to sign with. I got a bigger company and like. So what? What do you want to do? Do you want to go like spotify and, as it will, spotify is great, but the problem is that after the spotify exclusive she's like so what do you? What an as like I'll, tell you what I what I want to sign with sirius Xm? and that's a company? I think I'm going to- and I know louis just sign with serious acts, and I know I know that there are

kind of going into a little bit of perceval space. I want to sign with Sarah saxon and she's like cool. What would that look like as a I dunno, but I trust it's going to happen and I didn't talk to you. But we not not like happy birthday. Whatever, whatever was text messages, new text me twelve hours later Louis twelve hours later after said, I want to get answers, accomplish resource exxon and you like Hey? Are you in a contract? By now, sirius Xm wants to have a conversation, and I was like Lauren look at my phone while, but I think the the keep the key part of manifestation is not like Sit around and money is going to fly from all layers of the universe or any of that stuff. It's about alignment like so many people are out of alignment with what they truly want to do. The way that I see, life is pretty simple. Is I think if we are to put it's like an analogy, we basically have this life path. This this river register matches was a river and- and it's going to take us from one place to another and that's the journey of life in some sort of

and I think, most people what what they're doing is they're putting boulders and not water and boulders, or are limiting beliefs, its fears, it's going a life and deciding to stay somewhere where they don't want to be staying with someone I didn't want to be with, and if you seen a river, a river flows beautifully, and usually little drowned and rivers that are just flowing, usually where people is when there in rivers, where there's a ton of white water in there's all of these borders, in your water and that's when it really starts to move faster, you you can drowned in the white water, and so I think, is when you start to fight like this place of alignment. Like the gentle flowing water and then things start coming too, and so it's like for me the amount of things they just I kind of happen. You probably have this happen to like opera Is it come to their like? I've been wanting this for a while in a came to me better and faster than I thought it was going to, and I think it comes down to like our people actually in alignment

I truly want to do because I I believe personally that that all humans are here to create in some sort of way doesn't mean they have to create a podcast or create a social media can be in or create art. It could be that they just create music and it flows out of them, but so many people are creatively constipated where they just hold it all in because they might have been ridiculed at some point. I was a child, they might have their afraid of being judged. Some sort of way- and I think that every person is a kind of fine like what's your river, what's what's the one thing that you can do? That's that you cause you don't want to be everybody else, but like what's the one thing you can do, that is completely you that feels the most authentic to you, and I think that when you find that- and you start actually speaking, for what it is it you want. It becomes really powerful in so there's a and like. I really believe- and I love that one when I was at your event, you had a huge thing. That said, I am, and I I love I because if you look at like I'm, not I'm not religious any sort of way. I believe I read the bible and I read you know

bog about visa J got me to read the bhagavad gita a guitar I can and seventeen seventeen siren. And there's a lot of things that I associate with it, and why The thing is, though, when you look at the bible, like the only time when, when God actually comes in says god's name is says, I am that I am and then you look at it, and it's like I am, is the only time that somebody that god comes in and speaks god's name and think that when we say I am we're tapping into like that, infinite potential that that is inside of us, but two often what we're not saying rustling, I am we're saying I am not or saying I can't and were literally closing the door of all of you. To that we could attract into our life in so as they like I am going to be one of the best x Y Z in the world. I m going to be the best possible father. I can be. I m, you know, if someone's afraid I'm gonna screw my children up. I am going to be one of one of the most success for business, women and one of the best mothers that I could possibly and it literally I think that the point of attracting things can seem corny

I think that what happens when you start to say I am, and I should pull it in any fully believe like I, when I believe, thing I try to imagine all forty trillion of myself saying: yes, we're on board we're gonna go get this thing, and so when you look like the potential of a human being, that should that you have right I think that if I'm remembering the math correctly there sporty trillion cells in your body ever cell has about one point four volts inside of it. Would you if you do that, that seventy trillion cells are seventy trillion volts inside of a human body, the most power of energy of energy, and shall energy is a key part. Right is potential energy so that wendy trillion volts inside of a human body, and I did I looked it up. What's most powerful lightning, its ever been recorded its three hundred million votes, and when you do the math seventy truly, I'd, buy three hundred million. That means that potential energy inside of the human body, two hundred thirty three thousand three hundred thirty three times more powerful than the lightning bolt. So if we could take

mind if I can take all the potential g me and say I'm going to get this thing and there is no other reality where it exists. Right, don't get this thing, that's where I got getting universe starts to get anyone say: ok, here's what you re right, but I think I think you got a star with ie. The command as I am the up this and the command you need to make a decision, because your identity has and allow you to attract what you want and so far or may be taken. our time and you wanted so you got. Say I am this you're gonna make that commands. Then you have to make a decision which actions are gonna start taking differently to support this new committee. it really, this new commitment of identity, of personality that you want to step in yet and in how often do will say. I am and then the next thing that follows it is not powerful right words like I am. I

I am more, not less martin. I got an idea lovable in that that's the majority of people are always say. I am usually falls what they dont worry us, and so I think what the witch their identity, as I am in switching to the thing that you want in there might be like a bs meter of like, but I am I and you ve gotta, start to actually physically believe in yourself. I was not confident before it started in sales years ago. Very shy, I'm still really an introvert, but as you started, is hard things. You start overcoming things doing things you didn't want to do you start becoming more confident yourself and, as you become more confidence of, you can start to speak into reality. That you want more of- and I think that's important part of it If the station is people can say, oh there's all these different things that you can do to manifest, but I really think it comes down to like. Can you get your brain and your body on board to say this is what I'm gonna be doing, and

it's on alignment into life path you're supposed to be on and what feels right inside of you. I think that's where people to snatch restart attracting things. What if someone has a story from their past from their history from their families from their own lack that keeps them playing small They changed the story, a southerner line to themselves, but they're empowering themselves with their story yet. Well then it comes down to like information right affirmations, ice thinker, super corneas, well, my eye and I myself and I'm gonna believe this cause as we were like. Ok, I'm bro. I don't have any money. I want to attract money. I want to to be someone who has money and so they're, like I'm gonna, create an average ram money. They sit during the like money, is flow from all areas of the universe into my bank account immediately right and then

then you get you get done and you're like your bs meters. Like not dude you're broke, you got negative twelve dollars in your account right and there's the bs meter inside. When I take affirmations, I say: there's three parses someone else at the boys I gotta be true, number two, it's gotta be present tense. With three it's gotta be in power at J, p, morgan chase. We see the potential and people I kelly, twitching o founder, Access tracks, innovative product design, company, making the outdoors more accessible. When you need something that other people find invaluable, it fuels you to keep making a better impact with your business. That's why we're here to help make it happen. J p morgan chase real customers, compensated J, p, morgan chase bank morality. I see. In so doing, to be an example of someone broke and they want more money. Yet how can they create a story?

and merited a script or a story that will empower them to attract why I am committed to day to working time to make more money I am committed to taking, Actions necessary to make more money in my bank account to the future. I am committed to losing forty pounds over the next twelve months. even though I've never done it before I'm going to change the person who I am to make sure that I do that, and so it about like sitting there and you know meditate. Just imagine the money? Commend your bank account it's. How can make a true present tense and empowering today I am committed to taking the action I need to. In order to make more money. My back dammit, I am committed to making the ash they need to to make my children feel like I love them to make I feel more loved that I may be having be giving them over the past couple years, because I've been so busy where I write, and so it's it's literally about. How can you make it true, empowering and present tense, because when it's when it's true like you might not have money in your bank account right now, but I will take the action today.

who eventually bring more money into my bank, account because usually It doesn't immediately come to you, usually it's like a lagging indicator of how of the actions you've taken in the past. So today, I'm going to take actually that night. I need to knowing that the money will be coming to me at some point in time when you think causes people to stay in procrastination mode for long periods of time. What is that? The reason they stay in power? destination yeah. So when I look at procrastinating, I remember I was toggled on my one of my salespeople in, and we are talking about this lady and he's like well as xo. What was her problem when you had to when he had the sales call and she he the problem. Is that what she she procrastinates too much- and I said that's not the problem and what's the problem and he's like we meet- and I was like the problem is not procrastination. Problem is a symptom of a cause, but it's in so it's like it's it's like, for instance, it's a downstream effect of something else, procrastination is, is always almost always the downstream effect of identity or

In that's really what it comes down to is the reason why a procrastinating is because you either don't think you can do it or you progressing, because you are you're afraid of something else. It's coming, future if I were to be able to like if we had a light switch on the side like a little switch on the side of our head, and we could turn off like our medulla of like in the thing that creates fears in our brain and we're to say. Okay, I have no fear. I can just take action everybody would have the life, so they want they want to be, nobody would procrastinate right. Is it really comes out of that does. The first thing is: is that the fears of identity? and the other thing is the reason why somebody's doing something, and so like one of my things that I used to give a lot of talks. I used to love doing this. As I would say, you know you, don't a company, and everyone makes like forty fifty seven. five thousand rs a year one hundred thousand dollars a year, and I would sit in front of people and say everybody here. What is the percent is is very sick. I know everybody has led. This is very drastic for able to hear right. I would say: hey: what's the percentage Have you making a million dollars than in the next twelve months? And everybody likes

percent zero percent. I would I'd, say legally too. the rye rye rye million dollars legally. Why not go sell drugs, but a million dollars legally in the next twelve months and people will be like zero percent. Zero upset, one percent, two percent- that always be like one person who really believes in something like five percent- and I said okay, let me change it up. Just a little bit What's the percentage chance of you making a million dollars a year, and if you don't rwanda to love dies knew everybody goes a thousand percent a hundred percent a hundred I'm sorry I said hold on and the timeframe did and change the gold didn't change. What changed as it you actually tear. You actually have a why behind it in and I would say, would you ever proof if you're, if your children's life. If your wife's life, your mother's life, depended on it, would you procrastinate know you you would just do what needs to be done, because the fear of losing them is greater than the few.

of being judged or the ira of right, and so I think that procrastination, never the problem. It's always the downstream effect of something else which is either. They don't have a wider, stronger, their identity. is holding them back from thing and they can't be a person that can achieve it or they have too many fears. Energy calling the doctrine tat, I think, can get out of the wider strong enough. His them is the main thing, because you know Some nine eyes or a hundred thousand or whenever the number is you know, do first I'll. Do you want that? bad enough, and why do you want it? the million dollars, as example. Why do you need that? And why can't you be Where was where your ads or whatever might be, and do you need that to impress people or is it because you have a greater purpose? We want to use that money for writing because you want a company, you want to empower people you want to donated, so you have to understand why you want something and be clear that is not just serving ego, but it's serving something greater than you. I think that's when the river opens up there and it widens,

The borders go away when you say I want this thing for me, but also so I can serve or empower others for then it's like the mississippi in our sights. Why this is the biggest there is an and though it's only for you filling later down the line you get a hidden down, coarser, you might attract what you want, but then eventually get blocked up. Could it's all about me was opposed about. Others include well yeah and you can you can make money when it's all about you? Yes, many people, do it doesn't mean you'll, be happy right, that's usually the problem right, because you get to a point. I mean how many this is what what I really think about all the time is that how many successful people and it's so sad, get to being ridiculous. His successful and then commit suicide like there's, there's many that have done it and so there could be mental health issues to that, but I think a lot of them think when I get to the top of the mountain, then I'll finally be happy, but it's it's always about like it's, not the top of the amounts at the the the destinations can make you happy

not finding your happiness in the journey to get you to where you want to be, and if someone's like, I want to make money for me, you can deftly. Do others. There's deftly people in this world the do that, but what I said and that was really surprising to me- is that some of the most successful people I know, are the most giving people I know, and it's almost as if god or the universe has been like hey. I I asked you because I've seen that you're, a good steward of this money or a good steward of of what I've been giving to you, I'm if you more of it like let lent. Let's all my money, real quick as I do that I think is important- is noted This is where I could give it as an analogy right. Let's say you have a toy and you have to, shelter right. You have child a We give them like a red toy truck and he's like red. I hate red. This is blue, like this is my favorite. Color is blue and it's like trucks. I don't even like trucks. I like cars and you're like well. I don't have any other twenties like fine and he goes and plays with it and he mess with it any lambs it into other toys, and in complains about

it's, not the one that he wanted and it was time to go eat he lives as toys. All over the place might see that's child it child be. Might be the exact blue might be the favorite color red rum sample number the favorite color and they might like cars more than they like trucks right, but you give it to him and he says thank you and he goes. Places in place. It nicely any in one another kid comes up. He shares How can I play their toy yeah here you go and the other kid was. I could can't comes. I was like now. This is my truck right he's like yeah. You can play with it when it becomes time to go to dinner, they take their toys, they put him away. If you had the option the next time, you have a toy. Who would you give it to? Where give it to the kid who took care of it right with our april appreciative shared it took care of. It was a good steward of it. Now. Imagine we flip that, and god is the one who has the toy. The toy is money and it's either your person a or person b, most people when they get their paycheck. I was as person for years I give my patient like

it's still, not enough. It's not it's! Not enough. Literally from the moment I see my paycheck bringing negative energy towards money and I'll make it still not enough. It's not as much as I want. I don't think I could pay my built with this. This is crap and what do I do I share with anybody. I don't know anybody in money, and I heard it do I take care of it. No, I ve complain about. I don't have enough, I don't enjoy it, I don't surely steady wasted by stupid, stuff, and you see on the other side, someone who gets their paycheck. Mrs, a big thing that I change myself like seven years ago, any time that I would get a pain because we go about building a salon. As you can get, payments are random times. I would get a payment and I lies that I was for the longest time. Child a out complain about not have enough money, I made them, seismic. My bank account was over drafted over like even if I didn't get out. dollars. I had negative dollars in my bank account many times in my life. You know- and I switched it too Tom. I started seeing a payment come in. I would go close my eyes and I would say, see the person

and I would say John thank you so much god. Thank you so much for bringing us into my life. I hope that I can make some sort of trance. Creation and I just wanted to bring that energy to it and then I started and to try to be more child be were then I started, sharing it more in irene, is that the more that I share it, the more that I'm grateful for the more they take care of it, the more they learn about how to be smart. With my money, the more I've been trusted with more, and I think that's the difference is that most people do when the path of child a and I was there for a very long time and I went to chubby witches, I'm going to be grateful for whatever comes in. If I see a penny on the floor, I'm going to pick it up, because if, if, if I can't be trusted with a little, I can't be trusted a lot, I'm going to pick it up, I'm going to put in my pocket and say thank you for giving me this universe. I appreciate it. I appreciate the small amounts. I appreciate the big amounts because I'm and appreciate the small amounts, the big amounts michel. Whenever I can shirt and I'm going to try to be a steward of my money that I can in which crazy is it? Just like you said is like that the river, just widened didn't because there was now more space. For me to be able to be a good steward for

You have accomplished and achieve everything you want, but it's time for you to go, yet the live as long as you want, but it's the last day and for whatever reason you gotta take all of your work with you.

and we don't have any other content of yours suffer these three choice. What were you share with the world? had the firstly comes into my mind. Is love? Is all the matters? That's all that really matters its how it works but said the older. I get them start to learn it. I think, as I see within the matters I sitting today with success in money and all that stuff may be happy, but I've I've realise there I was really searching for when I thought I wanted to be stable in financial table was emotional, stable stability, which I think my wife is has helped me feel and bring me ngo artist is one of them. For my whole life right like I've. I've wanted this, Think adding love is all the matters. I think that that goes law that, as well as on behind every one and she meat, because I think, there's are there. So many people go into so many things you know, if you think about the guy that you are talking about the committed suicide like, because what You have no idea than yours pass me.

Like yours, okay and stuff and mississippi robin Williams or like one of the lights of the world, quit suicide. It's like you, never asked we truly know what someone's going through and there's a lot of people that that look like they have it together. But inside did it really need somebody else inciting that's really big piece to it and and I think the last one- that's that's important is in itself, cliche and I didn't get it like. I get it until probably two years ago, is the destination this matter, it's all about the jury and I've heard it so many times they never actually fully hit me is you know in this this journey of personal I've always wanted to be done, like I've always wanted to be done with. fear and done with my my issues in my traumas Come to realise that I don't think I'll ever get there, but I think that I'll just have tools to be able to work for them if it comes back up again, and so I think that would have come to realize that

when I want to get their every causes more cause more conflict internally inside of me, and say you know what you fell off the path. Again, I got your the pie, of being a human is losing herself in finding herself again and losing herself in finding herself and hopefully, get lost, you get better funding yourself, quicker, the more that you do it. and so I have come to realise that its it's there is no destination to get too, and if I just learned to go, eat me screwed up again hey, listen, ass, the love you for fur for doing what you ve done. I love you for the awareness that you are that you now have understood that this is this. You ve gone yourself out of this thing quicker than used to. Used to be a week. The urine misery.
