• 01:00 - 01:30 GT4 how are you supposed to know what somebody wants if they don't tell you how is anybody supposed to help you if you don't tell them everybody knows Gary vaynerchuk wants to buy the New York Jets why cuz he tells everybody he's got Clarity around it Elon mus wants to colonize Mars he says it every time he's in front of a mic every time there's a camera on him he says it our mission is our mission is our mission is and you get a bunch of people doing that I'm on a mission to build a billion dollar software company that is is my mission
• 01:30 - 02:00 it's what I've always said it's what I've always wanted to do I just keep telling people I tell my team and when you activate it by being clear other people can support you we don't create our future we Attract it see most people think I got to do all this stuff to eventually get something no you have to become the person to attract into your life those results so how do you find Clarity number one dream big if I could go back to talk to my 20-year-old self I'm telling you I would just say bigger
• 02:00 - 02:30 bigger bigger you underestimate what's possible when you focus and you compound over one year 5 years 10 years 25 years so start with one-year goal but then build the five and the 55 I've got a business plan for 55 years into the future the reason why is because I know that I'm going to wake up every day and create so make sure you're dreaming big number two is shop your dreams I'm a big fan of encouraging people to go stay in a dream house go rent a super if you
• 02:30 - 03:00 can't afford it go sit in the lobby at the Ritz Carlton go shop your dreams get around the energy the smell see most people just don't allow themselves to touch their dream and the truth is is that's the only way that you're going to make it normal you're going to create a sense of this is normal a few months ago I was talking to one of my sales guy his dream was to drive a Porsche I said dude have you visited the Porsche dealership have you sat in your dream car have you asked the sales guy to run the numbers to let you know even what it would cost he's like no get in my car so we drove
• 03:00 - 03:30 to the dealership not only did he send it I told the sales guys send him the numbers how much is it down payment what it's going to cost per month why get familiar with it when I decided to start flying private I got familiar with it I got surrounded with people I wanted to understand it I wanted to figure out the numbers I wanted to see what would need to be true for it to make sense in my life most people don't allow themselves to even shop their dreams three is write them down if you don't write it down you won't remember it if you don't write it
• 03:30 - 04:00 down you won't commit to it if you don't write it down you're not being specific enough you're more likely to achieve goals that are written down this is scientifically backed by all the research around goal setting write it down I have a notes file on my phone okay it's called 12 power goals on that I have my 12 goals for the year I review that three to four times a day why I want to keep it front and center think about it for yourself if you just review your dreams your goals every day especially the ones for the next 12 months it'll make it inevitable that
• 04:00 - 04:30 you'll achieve that most people will never do it be the person that's willing to do the thing that nobody else is doing to achieve the goals number four is create a vision board I'm a big fan of visualizing what you want to achieve why your brain doesn't think in words it thinks in pictures we have this thing called the reticular activating system and when we give it a picture to scan the world it will literally ignore all other information and just find the thing that's going to help you achieve your goal if you get clear on what you want to achieve you will make success
• 04:30 - 05:00 inevitable which brings us to 100% belief this one is the hard one your beliefs either hold up your vision but sometimes beliefs can actually hold you back from what you want to achieve so for example number one limiting beliefs limiting beliefs are around you about your skills maybe you might think I'm not smart enough I don't have the right Network or connections or it takes money to make money all of these things are limiting beliefs about your possibility here's what's crazy about limiting beliefs you'll never hold on to what you
• 05:00 - 05:30 don't think you deserve you will quickly get rid of it even if you accidentally get it number two is negative beliefs these are beliefs about the world about how everybody else is if you think the world is bad you will always find bad if you think the world is positive you'll find positive most people talk crap about other people that are successful so that they don't have to become successful if I think that the person driving the Supercar is an a-hole then why would I want to have a car because then everybody's going to think I'm an a-hole but the truth is your negative belief around the world is it's causing
• 05:30 - 06:00 you to play small if you love people and you want to help them the number one thing you can do is Inspire them to dream bigger and playing small never helped anybody number three is positive beliefs positive beliefs as in you've already been there you done it it's accomplished you got the T-shirt you want to get into the heads space of beliefs where what you're trying to achieve is very familiar to you talk as if it's already happened I remember watching on Tik Tok recently a real about Conor McGregor talking on a mic about his achievements and he pretty

• 06:30 - 07:00 whole life your whole existence is essentially living in the dreams of people from the past because nothing's ever got created existed ever before somebody saw it in their mind that is how it's always been what I need you to do is believe that it's possible for you sure it's going to take work sure it's going to take effort sure it's going to take resources it may not happen overnight it won't happen overnight but I need you to believe that it's yours to have you wouldn't have it on your heart you wouldn't desire it if you couldn't achieve it that I believe if you can
• 07:00 - 07:30 hold a belief true you will make success inevitable which brings us to 100% of the time see when a plane takes off most people don't realize it but most of the fuel required to fly from point A to point B over an hour is used in that first takeoff that is momentum if you don't believe 100% of the time if you don't keep that Clarity and that belief there you're not going to build the momentum the person that writes the business plan that opens it up in 6 months or review it that's not not a winner people that win in line not only
• 07:30 - 08:00 hold the belief have Clarity but they do that as frequently as possible I think about somebody that's had a big weight loss Journey they have looked at their weight thought about their meals shared their preferences with their friends talk about it non-stop 100% of the time they have a vision for what's possible I'm losing the weight I'm going to look like this and they don't waver from it momentum isn't about perfect days it's about showing up on imperfect ones so the rule of 300 how can you keep 100% clarity on your goals 100% belief that
• 08:00 - 08:30 you can achieve it 100% of the time so you don't waver the way I do it is a few steps the first one is I design my environment see I want to default the design of my space of my decisions to be already made to win putting my clothes out so that I work out in the morning making sure my peer group of people are folks closer to my goals not closer to me making sure that I curate the space to win that's number one number two you have to manage your energy see we don't manage our time time comes and goes you
• 08:30 - 09:00 can't stop that can you manage your energy can somebody that's high energy and positive achieve more than somebody's low energy and negative just think about that feeling if I said hey man show me what a negative energy person looks like he'd be like you know head down shoulders forward low energy nobody wants to help that person if I say high energy you go ooh all of a sudden just what you eat your exercise these are things that manage your energy is going to help you get there faster the third is build your achievement list when you feel down when you feel feel defeated when you feel like a setback or
