Ep 253: What Makes You Matter?

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.

Start Your Transformation Now Ever wondered why you’re not getting the results you want in the gym, in your business and perhaps all the areas of your life? There could be many reasons but a huge reason is talked about in this episode, self-integrity. Are you being 100% integral with your word to yourself relative to your desired outcomes? Do you eat the way you say you’ll eat? Do you go to the gym when you say you will go? Do you lead generate for your business like you say you will? Do you do what you say you’ll do when you say you’ll do it? If you just said no to the above questions you’re going to love this episode because it’s all about self-integrity! It’s all about doing what you say you’re going to do when you say you’re going to do it. In this episode I discuss: [2:46] How you can have a 100-500% increase in your productivity when you keep your word to yourself. [7:08] How I used to lie to myself about integrity (and you probably do too). [22:44] How we speak our lives into existence. [23:12] Why not keeping your word affects your self-esteem. And, of course, much much more. Self-Integrity is VITAL to your success in any activity and according to a Harvard business professor who studies it, it’s one of the most over-looked concepts in business and life. When we’re out of self-integrity, nothing works, we keep failing over and over in many areas of life that we think are important to us. Let me rephrase the last paragraph, things work in life but they rarely work the way we want when we’re out of integrity. Transformational Takeaway: Be 100% impeccable with your word to yourself.
