know what's going on but they don't do much about it because they've kind of
they've gotten used to it I always tell people you get what you tolerate and if
you go to meeting and everybody's on their cell phone while you're talking
about something important and you just let that continue pretty soon the
meetings are a total waste of time so what I really believe is when you read
something gonna act on it you've got to do something you can't lead other people
if you're the one on your phone in the middle of eating either right so you got
to lead by example you've got to not tolerate with yourself or other people
things that don't support what you are and you guys when you see there's a
challenge you've seen or something that's not congruent they're saying one
thing and they're feeling another you got a Metacomet so tell me more what's
really going on if you get in the habit of doing that then you're never going to
be bored in a business meeting at first of all people get bored because people
are just saying the same things over and over again they're managing their
business they're managing their life they're not innovating they're not
creating they're not digging deep they're not pushing each other when you
get a culture of people it all it takes is one where our leader steps in and
they will not settle for a half-assed answer and they can be playful they can
be funny they can be warm they can be direct they can be crazy about it but
they keep probing you're going to get to what's real and when you get to what's
real that's when you start creating breakthroughs in business and in life
there is another level the only reason you keep sitting there isn't as you feel
so exhausted about where you are but life the universe or God is just testing
you because there is another level if this is good
giants them to excellence Giants start good poor to good to excellence there's
a level where all your dreams are realized there's a level that you've
always dreamed that it is real it has not gone away but it takes that extra
burst when you think there's nothing left there's no way you tried everything
ten million times and you keep going it's almost like God is saying if you
keep hitting this wall enough times I will see that you will not stop but you
will fill with that level of determination faith and courage and then
the door opens and you get to that next level but most people don't know is the
next level is just two millimeters above and it's called outstanding ladies and
gentlemen outstanding what's it called what's it called what's it called
outstanding magnificent unstoppable extraordinary not excellent it's a
different level it's a level where you are not one of the best you are the best
you know what's amazing you only have to be two millions more than everybody else
you get everything you get the joy the last thing upon the family the passion
the economics the freedom the spirit it's all there what Jerry Maguire called
the quad maybe all of it and it's just two million years above and most
excellent people give up because they're exhausted and there's some people go the
harder I hit it the more I hit it sooner or later it's going down I'm not
stopping and when you do that enough it pops open this could be the greatest
time you ever live if you control what you focus on if you find a more
empowering meaning and if you decide to model the actions of those who succeeded
before you it can be the best financial time the best emotional times of a
spiritual time of your life but you better take control of your state and if
you think you're going to do it just by today you're wrong you're going to need
to get yourself some rituals right now every one of you this room is
controlled by your rituals I don't just mean this one
I mean every morning you get up I know your body I can look at your body right
now and I can guess your rituals some of you your rituals to work out five times
a week I can see it clearly four to six times a week it's obvious because you
couldn't look like that if you didn't do that certain form of work I don't care
it's walking lifting whatever some of you is obviously lifting weights as part
of you can see about at man muscles I know I know what his rituals are because
your life comes from your rituals if you don't develop the ritual you're kidding
yourself how many degrees me on this region and say I and there are rituals
to put you in state and the rituals to take you out of state you have rituals
in your relationship you have rituals with your body you have rituals around
your finances and the rituals that works in the reaping time of fall and the
markets and in business and in real estate those rituals won't work now if
you do the right thing at the wrong time you get pain I'll say that again if you
do the right you go by talking I'm doing the right thing but I'm not being
rewarded if you do the right thing at the wrong time you don't get rewarded
you get paid so you better do the right thing at the right time and to do that
you better know what season you're in to do that you're going to learn how to
change your state how to take control of your own conditioning that's what I live
for does this make sense to you yes or no
come on guys yes or no so now it's time to train yourself to do that I'll show
you how fast it can change try this just for a second I want to show you what you
can do with just focus try this for a moment I'm going to give you a test sit
up in your chair with some energy make sure buddy next using a strong
state it will otherwise adjust their state come on change the physiology what
am I gonna do see if they're ticklish that might help now do this I want to
look around this room right now and find everything in this room that you can
find it is brown it's fast again with the brown look for brown look for brown
look around look around you look for brown look for round look for brown okay
close your eyes I'm gonna give you tests with your eyes closed now shout out loud
everything you saw that was red if you see a lot more Brown right now than red
say yes open your eyes look for red now I want you to really look for red look
for red look for red look for red anything exciting this red look for red
around ulica red baize your hand if you feeling more red
this time and say I why did you find more red this time cuz seek and you
shall that's right whenever you focus on you're going to find it in fact let me
tell you something you'll even find it when it's not there how many saw
burgundy called it red just so you can have more things you counted raise your
hand say aye come on see whatever you're looking for
you're gonna find so if you want to change your life my friends you got to
change your physiology and you got to change your focus by the way how fast
can you change that stuff how fast my fur is how fast how fast come on in a
heartbeat once you reach Ange your conditioning it's all you got to do eat
it a fast you do it a question or two try this right now answer this question
in your mind and be honest what in your life today if you wanted to be could you
feel proud about right now if you want to feel proud if you didn't feel like I
shouldn't be proud if you want me so proud what could you be proud of in your
life today your children your health your body is there a problem you faced
instead of running from it you finally stepped up and handled it what could you
feel proud of in your life today if you want to feel proud how many could think
of something and when you think about this thing you're proud of what about
that makes you feel proud what do you focus on that makes you feel proud how
do you breathe when you really start to feel proud what kind of look on your
face starts to happen when you let yourself feel proud yeah how's it feel
hmmm think of another area lighting even in your life that you're grateful for or
oh I'm not grateful if you wanted to be grateful what's an area you could feel
grateful for look like you feel grateful for if you really wanted to feel
grateful
how many can think of something you can feel grateful for because your hands and
what about that are you grateful for what do you focus on that makes you feel
grateful how does it feel when you're really truly feeling filled with
gratitude here's one if you wanted to be excited about your life right now and
you're willing to be excited you wrote a book everybody else's trend what cuz you
feel excited about in your life if you wanted to feel excited what could you
get excited about if you really focused on it and you really took it in and you
were in a negative place what could you get excited about if you wanted to be
excited in your life what could you get excited about
how many of you can think of something you feel excited about right now raise
your hand if use your head say aye well you're really excited about it what
about that excite you or when you're really excited how do you feel how do
you speak what's your life like by the way when you're excited does it tend to
touch other people yes or no absolutely by the way two people have a
tendency but who feels different right now they're just even a couple moments
ago raise your hand say aye why because focus is controlled by
questions if you ask a different question continuously not once
continuously you will get a different answer if you ask a lousy question you
get allow the answer in a lousy state sometimes why does this always happen to
me it doesn't always happen to you but the brains like a computer asking a
question it'll have to come up with an answer because you deserve it you idiot
someone will say how come I can never lose weight you can't lose weight but if
you keep saying how come I can never lose weight then we've gotta come an
answer goes you're a pig lousy questions great what lousy answers ask a better
question get a better answer now here's what I want you to get I want you to get
that you can change your state how fast guys how fast how fast and if you get
the habit of doing it you have a different life
so what we've got to do is make that change in those standards that's what
this shifts happen doesn't happen any other place and I get a very simple
example if you want to know the difference in people's lives it all
comes down to what are the things that are must view versus shifts so let me
tell you this we said to have an extraordinary life you got to have an
extraordinary psychology right extraordinary psychology means you got
to live in an extraordinary state to be an extraordinary state you got to
condition your nervous system your body your physiology and focus to be at their
best do you agree with this yes or no then to do that though you can do that
why doesn't everybody not because you can't all have the ability it's because
of our standards I remember a time earlier my career is about 24 I went to
do a seminar in Boston and in those days a big seminar for me is like 120 5
people there was a three-day seminar and we worked around the clock and people
made such extraordinary changes in their lives and at the end of it I was feeling
so fulfilled I was thinking my god I'm 24 maybe 25 at the time I am so happy
because I have found my mission in life I'm doing what I love it's making a
difference in people's lives this is extraordinary so he finished about
midnight on the Sunday night and around midnight you know I'm still wound up so
I don't feel like going to bed so I decided okay you know let me take a walk
here and I decided going through Copley Square if you've been through Copley
Square you know it's pretty neat place to then comple squares you can look up
and you can see buildings that were here before we were known as the United
States and besides I'm you see skyscrapers that are neato it's a pretty
cool place so I'm walking around midnight on Sunday night there's nobody
in Copley Square midnight as 39 and I'm walking along and I see this guy in the
distance he's kind of stumbling back and forth between the gutter and the
sidewalk the long trench coming on his head's down like this he's holding a
brown bag and I can start to smell him even before I get there and I'm thinking
you know this guy's obviously drunk and if I started get closer I thought I bet
he's going to beg me for some money and sure enough whatever you focus on
life tends to happen doesn't it so sure enough he gets real close to me and I
thought also he wasn't going to do it all so they pop his head up was really
good mister if this really bizarre-looking sounding voice
mr. could you loan me quarter I thought do I want to reward this behavior and I
thought I don't want it to suffer you have this dilemma sometimes like you
know I'm not here to judge so usually when I finally decide about we just give
even the person's calling a scam that's for them to deal with if I have the
ability then they get and so I thought what could I teach him something so I
asked him a question back I said if value1 is a quarter you go yeah just one
quarter one quarter change my whole life
and sit really secure I reached in my pocket
and I pull out my money clip then those days are you know very young just
starting to succeed and my original mentor was a man named Jim Rohn and
we've heard of generally yeah it's a great guy and Jim told me said Tony look
you've come from for background you got a poor psychology you got to change it
he said you don't know any money some pretend you do he said start training
your brain conditioning is it go save all your money get three hundred dollar
bills and put them in the outside of your money clip even though you only
have five bucks in between them so every time you put out you'll see
that you'll feel inspired you'll feel better he said you'll feel better you'll
do better sounds like okay so I did so I put my
money clip and sure enough I got trailer bills though I made sure he saw the
bills so I'm tearing through that right look in between there see if I can find
some change but I made sure he saw sure not he's looking at the how-to dollar
bills check it out I find a quarter I pull it out take him money put in my
pocket I noticed he's watching my hand going into the pocket I took the cord
and I looked at him and I said sir life won't pay any price you ask of it I
gave the corner him something really interesting happened he took the quarter
he looked at the quarter he looked at me he looked in my pocket he was back of
the quarter looked at me look to my pocket look at me again look to the
corner look to my pocket look back at me and said you were weird
and when he shuffled on off like this right and I thought to myself wow what's
the difference teen hitting me I mean I was 24 25 at the time doing what I love
most have my mission in life and he's in his early 60s drunk on the street
begging for quarters what's the difference and I thought well maybe
God's bless me because I'm such a good person enough and he's such a bad person
in such a bull and I thought wow maybe the answer to that question is what I
just told him life will pay whatever price you ask of it you know what's
interesting he got to ask intelligently and the Bible says ask and you shall lie
yeah pretty good formula gotta look into it but you know what this is asking you
shall receive but I'm sure it meant ask intelligently I'm sure that's what God
meant I'm sure you didn't mean bitch and you will receive wine and you will
receive I don't think that was the instruction now if you can ask
intelligently there might be five elements about number one you'd have to
have specifically wouldn't you moon asked in a general way people do all
something I want more money fine here's a dollar get out of here very often
you're getting what you're asking for you just not aware of how general you're
asking clarity is power the more clear you are about exactly what it is you
want the more your brain knows how to get there your brain is a servomechanism
it's like a bomb those bombs those missiles they have a servomechanism so
the target moves it knows what the target is it follows it your brain when
you condition it knows exactly what to go for it will find a way to get there
keep it by a certain outfit or a certain car and suddenly see that car outside
everywhere I don't even have that experience ai how come that car outfit
everywhere it always was everywhere but now you notice it your leaves because
there's a part of your brain called the reticular activating system the RAS that
part of your brain determines what you notice and what you don't notice your
brains with most of its time try to make sure you don't notice because you'll go
crazy if you knows everything but when you decide what's most important to you
your brain goes after it everyone I know successful have builds
what I call an RPM plan and RPM is the on the metaphor that the way to get from
where you are to where do you want to go to the fastest is you got to build power
like in a car RPMs and the R stands for they know the result they're after they
know what they want precisely if you don't know exactly what you want or you
let yourself get beyond that into something general you're not going to
achieve it clarity is power you've got to know the
specific result you have sure what do you want you can answer that question
right now in your personal life in your body and your relationships and your
finances and your spirituality and you're not going to be as fulfilled as
you want to be today we're gonna have you answer one of those questions at
least the second part of that you got a nokie why you're doing it because you
know what you may get a big goals because I want to make a billion dollars
I want to bring peace to the earth why because soon as you come over the
goal all the obstacles show up unless you got enough emotional drive to break
through that you're never going to discover what it really takes so you got
to get yourself past that when you get past that it's having up reasons reasons
come first answers come second this man does not know what he wanted inaudible
of reasons to ask intelligently you're gonna have specifically to ask
intelligence you gotta know why you want to have enough drive to make it happen
enough juice to make it happen if you don't have enough reasons you will not
make it happen and the M is what is your massive action plan what is going to get
you to actually fall through because the first plan is not going to work in the
second one's going to work so you didn't have enough plan that the first two
don't work you still got something else otherwise you're going to be having
excuses where I didn't work so asking intelligently requires that so if we're
going to be extraordinary in our results we've got them in an extraordinary state
we're going to know what we want we got to go use it
