This new episode of Mindset Hackers talks on how to get up from a dark place and transfrom yourself into a confident person.

When you get hurt, you close up, you defend, you protect, you put your walls up, you close the blinds, you shut the doors, you close the gates.

Losing someone you love. A divorce. A failed business. Getting fired.

These are things that can cause anyone to shut down and go into Zombie mode.

Confidence Coach Claudia Wyatt understands, she has been there, to the depths and back.

Claudia had spiraled down after a brutal divorce and several deaths in her family including her father, sister and dog.

Blow after blow, this took its toll on her until she could barely function except on auto pilot.

Retreated from her life, retreated from herself, she went inward in the wrong way.

Getting by, day to day, autopilot and lost.

Eventually she reached a point where something that had to give.

Claudia details her 4 step process of healing, mindset and self love that pulled her...

Visualization is an exceptionally powerful tool that you can use to create any dream that you wish. This is why so many high performing athletes use visualization as part of their routines, it is a way to rehearse the outcome that you want.

Athletes that use visualization include:

Michael Phelps
Bianca Andreescu
Phil Mickelson
Jack Nicklaus
Reggie
Jackson

My question is if these athletes swear by visualization, and this is a tool that anyone can use, are you taking advantage of visualization to create the life that you desire?

I first read about visualization nearly 30 years ago when I was given a book called "Psycho Cybernetics".

In the book it talked about a study that was done over 20 days to improve 'free throw' accuracy with a basket ball.

Group 1 - no practicing through 20 days.

Group 2 - 20 minutes per day throwing free throws.

Group 3 - 20 minutes per day visualizing free throws.

The results?

Group 1 - no changes at the end of the study.

Group 2 - 24% improvement in accuracy.

...

How do you embrace the suck when you feel...

Beat down.

Exhausted.

Depleted.

Like an imposter.

Full of self doubt.

Like you cannot take one more step.

Go to your Cookie Jar

David Goggins, former Navy Seal and Ultra-Athlete has a mindset tool that he uses for such scenarios to get him through.

He calls it "The Cookie Jar."

What is the Cookie Jar?

Imagine a large jar into which you place all of your past accomplishments—the things you did which you once believed would be too terrifying, too difficult, or too impossible.

But you did them anyway.

You transcended your own self-limiting belief.

You conquered in the face of adversity!

Those are the "cookies" you place in the jar.

When you are confronted by obstacles in life that feel too overwhelming, remember to go into your cookie jar and remove cookies of past accomplishments and draw from your past victories.

They are placed there to remind you that you can do it.

Have you made yourself a cookie jar to call upon when it gets...

Daylight savings time changed the course of my life.

I know that's a bold statement but it's true, here's what happened:

For my entire life, Fall DST was the day when you get an extra hour to sleep in!

After a few days you start to normalize to the new schedule.

In my days as a club promoter and DJ, it even meant an extra hour of partying, not to mention it often fell on Halloween night (the best clubbing night of the year).

But in 2018 on DST, for just one day out of my life, I decided to keep that hour for my personal development instead of sleeping in.

That extra hour was pure 'me' time, and put even in front of my workouts.

This is how I pay myself first with time.

I've now had 1000+ hours of meditation, reading books, listening to podcasts, journaling and visualization.

My stress level is virtually non-existent, my happiness and joy are through the roof and my income is extremely abundant because of the opportunities that have unfolded.

I only made the switch once and that hour...

On this episode of Mindset Hackers we talk about the only 2 things that you need to succeed in sales, business, entrepreneurship or any other professional pursuit.

Before we start, I'd like to share my 4 mindset mantras that I say to myself every single day:

Affirmation #1 - If they can do it, so can I.

Affirmation #2 - I can figure this out.

Affirmation #3 - I can go harder.

Affirmation #4 - I will do whatever it takes.

Those four mindset mantras are painted above my shower so that every morning, above my cold shower, I see those as I embrace the cold. I thump my chest and I say those out loud and I prime my day to crush it with the momentum of a freight train. Then I start my day.

Now back to the 2 things you need for success:

Knowledge & Action.

Simple right? Not so much. It takes a strong person to seek out knowledge because as soon as you do, then the excuses start showing up in your mindset.

We allow ourselves to believe that these are real limitations, but they are not,...

Want to know all the ways you can create income with your knowledge?

Confused about how to start and create income sources?

Well,
If you know 20% or more than the average person on a specific topic, you have the ability to create streams of income from that knowledge.

What are you waiting for? Grab a pen and paper! Start listing down all your abilities.

Some Ideas Include:

Workshops
A mastermind group
Membership group (paid community)

Here are some other cool things about 'Knowledge Brokering' : 

- You can run it from anywhere in the world.

- Doesn't require a physical product (storage, shipping).

- Can be set up with minimal costs (email, zoom & a FB group is all I used for my first course).

- Doesn't need to be a race to the bottom with margins that can happen with physical...

"Well it's because....." you say defensively when someone asks you about it.

The job.
The relationship.
The behavior.
The parents.
The friend.

The story about why you aren't enough that keeps you from thinking and playing bigger.

To justify is to act from a place of fear rather than a place of power.

To justify is to give a discount for already damaged goods.

If you can't let go, you don't have your hands open to receive something better.

You could say:

I deserve better.
I am capable of more.
It no longer serves me.
What if I succeed?
What if I can make more?
I can have higher standards.
I will not let my life be average.
I can figure this out.
I can learn how.

What if you let go of everything you have to justify?

You will tap into your higher power and become the badass that you're meant to be!

Take ownership of everything.

No excuses. No justifications.

In this episode of Mindset Hackers we will talk about the quote “You are the average of the 5 people that you spend the most time with” by the great mindset mentor and personal development guru, Jim Rohn.

Jim is known as the godfather of personal development and was a mentor to Tony Robbins and so many other greats.

As much as I love and respect the legend Jim Rohn, I completely disagree, but not in a bad way. Jim was right that spending time around the right people, or the wrong people, can massively impact how your success follows.

The way I say it, you are actually the sum of EVERYONE that enters your sphere (your mindset, your environment), and this isn’t just people, but you are also the average of everything that you consume, such as the media, the music, the podcasts, the books, the shows, the news, the food and even your personal space.

You are so valuable and your sphere is so worthy of being protected from people who will suck your energy or bring drama...

1 - Because it costs money and it will take away from what I have earned or saved up, I'll be going backwards instead of forwards.

2 - Because it takes up time and with as busy as I am right now, I just can't put anything more on my plate.

3 - Because now isn't the right time. The timing will be much better down the road when I am less busy.

Now, I know you are thinking those sound like a bunch of excuses that people say, 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙢𝙮 𝙤𝙬𝙣 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙙𝙨.

But it really doesn't matter if it's and excuse or legit because the result is the exact same ...... nothing happens or changes.

Last fall I was asked to join what seemed to be a very expensive mastermind group and I said those 3 things, I don't have the time, it costs too much and now isn't the right time.

I felt good about the decision and had no regrets.

But this May I was approached again to join, but the price had increased another $5k from 8 months before and would exceed my mortgage.

Success to a lot of people means:

High paying job.

The career that parents wanted them to have.

A certain amount of money or net worth.

Nice car and house.

Title or status.

Beach body.

We have all been condition from when we were young, perhaps not always intentionally, but in some cases extremely targeted (advertising, media, social media and culture) on who to 'be'.

The other problem is all those things listed above are not permanent and can be taken away quickly.

We either feel like we are lacking if we aren’t there,

Or we get there and fear losing it,

Or we keep chasing after we get there.

Don’t get me wrong, those are fine things to aspire to if that is truly what you want at your core.

But start by asking what it is that you truly want aside from the influence of everything we've been told to want in life.

For me, it’s freedom, and having lots of money doesn’t...
