1:12What conversations should we be having around money to make sure that the partner we're in business or life with is going to support us as opposed to be a kind of thorn in the side of energy, if you will. I think money plays a very, very big role in our life. We should control the money. We should never let money control us. I love earning it. I love giving it away too. If you're in a relationship, understanding money in the relationship plays a very big role. You can't have one person with a, let's say, a poverty consciousness and another one with a prosperity consciousness and expect to have harmony in that relationship.

1:53It's just not going to be there because there's too many things where money comes involved in decision-making and conversations. And if you're not on the same page, there's trouble in River City, you know, and that's just the way it is. So I think it's very important. The truth is not many people understand money. Very few. You know, I was mentioning my business partner, Sandy Gallagher. She was a securities attorney when I first met her. She came to a seminar and she ended up being my business partner. She owns 50 % of the company and she's the CEO of the company. She runs it. But she's a damn genius when it comes to money.

2:35I have a pad here where I write things I'm grateful for. The very top thing, Sandy's financial genius. That's number one. in my gratitude list every day. I've earned millions and millions of dollars, but it wasn't until she became a business partner that everything in my life changed with money because she knew how to manage it. And if you don't know how to manage it, you're not going to do very well. How do we first manage it in our minds and not let ourselves become afraid of it or hoard it or be in scarcity? It's got to start. Everything starts in the mind. U.S. Anderson said, thought is the preamble to everything.

3:20You see, when we fully realize that thought causes all, we'll know there's never any limits that we ourselves don't impose. Everything starts in thought. So if you want order with money, it starts here. Relationship starts here. And your business starts here. It always starts in your mind. And the problem is hardly anybody understands the mind. And it's something that can be understood. I teach it to psychiatrists and I'm very good at it. That's my strength. I really understand the mind. Mind is movement. Mind's not a thing. Your brain isn't your mind anymore. Your toenail is. Your brain is electronic switching stations.

4:01Mind is movement. Body is a manifestation of that movement. So if you just stand and just observe a person, you'll get a hell of a good idea of what's going on in their mind. So whatever benefit or any good that you want, that's where it starts. You've got to start to understand it. Study it. And I think the best thing to do there is go to somebody that really understands it. Ask for help. Go for the best. When I was doing a seminar in Chicago, I had 450 different district agents in the room. The number one agent, he was the number one of all of their agents in the world. And when I found out he was in the room, I got him standing up and I asked him a few questions.

4:45I said, Ron, how many people in the past year have asked you if they could take you to breakfast or lunch and had a list of half a dozen well-prepared questions to ask you? Not one. This is the best in the company. He won the president's trophy. He was the number one agent. But that's not unusual. I wasn't even surprised. The truth is most people don't think. Earl Nightgale, marvelous man, I loved working with him. He one time said if the average person said what they were thinking, they would be speechless. And I'm inclined to agree with him. If you listen to most people what they're saying, it's fairly obvious they're not thinking or they'd never say what they're saying.

5:28Or stand back and watch what they're doing. They'd never do what they were doing if they're thinking.
