Ep 259: What Are You Worth?

Start Your Transformation Now How many times have you set goals for yourself only to find that you’re right back into your old patterns and you never achieve what you think that you want? If you’re like most people, that is your exact pattern: Wanting a goal but not achieving it because you can’t shake loose of your old patterns and habits. In the first sentence I said, “What you think that you want.” What you think that you want is not what you get because you get your habits and they don’t come from the “thinking” part of your brain. In this episode I talk about: [2:44] The three largest parts of your brain and how they function [10:38] How your reptilian brain sabotages your goals [12:19] Why your reptilian brain operates from survival and predictability [13:09] Why what you think you want is usually not what you get [15:09] And how to dissociate from the reptilian brain habits I have created episodes on habits but this one dives deeper into the exact way the reptilian brain sabotages your goals and what you think that you want. Transformational Takeaway: Your goals come from your prefrontal cortex “thinking” brain and your habits come from your reptilian brain. They battle each other and you have to disassociate from your reptilian brain habits. Let's Connect:  Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?

Start Your Transformation Now It’s one of your greatest abilities, yet it’s one of the most under used abilities we have. What is it? Your sense and intuition. We’re not limited to the five senses, yet this is the extent of our senses that most of us use. As a cosmic being you have a higher sense, a sixth sense. This is your inborn ability to access higher wisdom that pertains to your life. In this episode I talk about: [8:00] Higher mind and lower mind [9:33] Why almost no animals were found dead in the 2004 Indonesian tsunami [11:29] Why silence of mind is the only way to access your higher intuition [12:30] Why everything is about your awareness [27:36] How spending time in complete silence can help you And, I offer 4 different ways to develop your higher sense and intuition. I cannot stress enough how important it is to your well-being that you start to develop your higher senses. Sense has many times kept people alive and safe when they’ve listened to their higher wisdom and knowing. Using your sense is one of your greatest abilities. Listen and start developing yours. Transformational Takeaway: Silence is the heart of transformation. Let's Connect:  Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?

When Lisa started working with me, she’s acknowledged that her life was a “hot mess.” She was not maximizing her business growth, her marriage was very troubled and she was working through many of her own issues.

In this episode we talk about: [7:43] Some of the challenges in her relationship with her husband [8:07] How she stopped being an “enabler” [10:50] How her stories about herself kept her “crying all the time” [16:13] The power of choice in life [22:10] Self-Care and self responsibility [39:57] Inner Alignment [42:23] Victim mentality And, of course, a lot more, and you know that.

Start Your Transformation Now You’ve heard me talk about the power of dreamtime and using your subconscious mind to problem solve and in this episode I go further and talk about how to make dreamtime work even better for you. Relative to “who you need to be,” I’m often asked….“Jim, if I’ve never been a millionaire before, what ways would I need to be in my mind to make it happen?” Even when I give people ideas, they many times struggle finding the right way of being to help them create the life they want. So….in this episode I talk about: [1:57] Of course, about dreamtime [7:39] A recapitulation of the fact that your identity drives you [15:19] Who you have to be to have the exact experience of life that you want [15:40] Your primary and secondary identity [26:04] Why I trust dreamtime guidance more than my analytical mind And, the specific question you can ask your unconscious mind for deeper understanding. As well, I talk about “setting your intention” to maximize your mind’s direction during dreamtime. Not only do I talk about asking your subconscious mind for assistance, I go deeper and share how to ensure your answers come to you: Transformational Takeaway: Set your intentions for dreamtime answers.

Start Your Transformation Now How many times have you earnestly tried to change your behavior to get better results in your life yet you find that you gain little? If you can relate to what you just read, you’re not alone, this is the pattern of most people’s lives. Everyone wants more and they try to do more to have more and it just does not work. In this episode I dispel the thought that doing more will bring you a better life. Actually, for many people, doing more actually just wears them out. In this episode I introduce the “BE-DO-HAVE Formula.” That is, you first have to BE what you want in your mind because that is what you create, no matter what you do. In this episode I talk about: [2:14] Why the HAVE-DO-BE model is a universal broken model [3:44] Who you have to be to get what you want in life [14:32] How the Have Do Be broken model is drilled into us as kids [15:11] Why we think we have to do things to be successful [17:00] How we feel bad when we don’t think we do enough [36:39] Loss Aversion and why we’re afraid to be bigger in life And as usual, much, much more… I also talk about how to start becoming a Conscious Transformer and how to start creating your life from the inside out. This episode can be life-changing if you embrace the BE-DO-HAVE Formula for success! Transformational Takeaway: Everything is just you in the mirror. Life is your mirror.

Start Your Transformation Now Ever felt like you weren’t good enough? No matter what you did, how many awards, how many titles or how high you climbed you just haven’t felt good enough? If you’ve ever felt that way you’re going to love this podcast. Well, meet Jason, an Olympic silver medalist. Despite winning a silver medal at the Olympics Jason didn’t believe he was worthy of the medal because someone his wife worked with told him “that he didn’t deserve the medal.” As you’ll hear, Jason did deserve the medal he won yet he let one person derail him for years. Hear his story of how he got beyond the opinion of others. In this episode we talk about: [9:32] What we deserve in life [11:26] The stories we tell ourselves [26:46] Contribution in life over achievement [38:41] Why it doesn’t matter how good we are [39:31] Letting go of judgement [40:57] Persistence without exception And much, much more. This was a fun interview and it will resonate with most people. Jason is an Olympic medalist and until we met he still didn’t feel like he was “good enough” in the eyes of many people. He is no longer that person. Listen to how he put all the low self-worth behind him. Transformational Takeaway: There are two of them: One, Stop worrying what other people think, no matter what you do, people are going to judge you and two…life is all a story.
