the tougher you get, the bigger you’ll dream and the more fun you’ll have.
“Amateur performers operate from delusion, pros operate from objective reality.
most people delude themselves into thinking they are working harder then they are, and that they are more competent than they actually are.
my experience has been that performers at the middle-class levels of consciousness suffer the grandest delusions.
In other words, they want to live the life of the world class, but are unwilling to pay the price.
They err on the side of over-practicing and over-preparing.
Make a commitment to check delusion at the door. Be honest and ask this critical thinking question: “Are my habits, actions and behaviors congruent with the vision I have for my life?”
The Middle Class competes — the World Class creates.
The Middle Class has a lottery mentality — the World Class has an abundance mentality. 6. The Middle Class hungers for security — the World Class doesn’t believe that security exists.
The Middle Class sees themselves as victims — the World Class sees themselves as responsible.
11. The Middle Class slows down — the World Class calms down.
The Middle Class thinks they know enough — the World Class is eager to learn.
The Middle Class trades time for money — the World Class trades ideas for money.
The Middle Class seeks riches — the World Class seeks wealth.
the World Class knows they will see their vision when they believe it.
The Middle Class believes problem solving stems from knowledge — the Wold Class believes problem solving stems from will.
Albert Einstein once said, “a problem cannot be solved at the level of consciousness in which it occurs.”
The middle class trades time for money. The world class trades ideas that solve problems for money. Money flows like water from ideas.
The poverty class talks about and regurgitates the past; the middle class talks about other people; and the world class talks about ideas.
Give people operating at middle-class consciousness a million-dollar opportunity, and they will find a way to make it back to the middle class.
If you want to become wealthier, begin by raising your self-image by upgrading the self-talk you use regarding money and finances. If all you do is chase more money, you are simply attacking the effect. The cause is how you think, and if you improve the cause, the effect will take care of itself.
Read You Were Born Rich, by Bob Proctor. This man knows more about the mind/money connection than anyone alive. I study everything he produces like a scientist.
Developing a world-class vision is the secret to world-class motivation.”
The world class is motivated intrinsically, by their dreams, desires and passions.
External motivation is short lived, while internal motivation is nearly impossible to exhaust until the goal is achieved.
If I had thirty seconds left to live, what would I tell my children are the three most important things I learned about how to live a happy life? Your answers will tell you a lot about what drives you emotionally.
Champions use their critical thinking skills to make a clear distinction between truth and fact.
Fact is reality. Truth is our perception of reality, and perceptions are subjective.
The masses tend to operate from truth, which is often a distorted version of facts. Champions make decisions based on facts, not feelings. The world class also uses this understanding of truth and fact in their mental programming. The great ones know the conscious mind functions most effectively on fact, while the subconscious can be programmed with truth. Since the subconscious is unable to make the distinction between fact and truth, champions program their subconscious minds to believe their visions, dreams and ideas as truths.
The amateur wants instant results, but pros know
this rarely occurs. The payoff for the pro comes not only in the form of increased productivity, but also in the connection created between manager and employee. Once an emotional creature is convinced that you care about what she thinks and how she feels, it sets the stage for emotional bonding to occur.
Tell me what you really want out of life more than anything else?
1) What exactly do you mean by that? 2) What does that look like? 3) Why do you feel that way? 4) Tell me more about that. 5) Why is that important to you? 6) What does having that mean to you?
School is never out for champions.
