And so if that interests you, hit that subscribe button so you never miss another episode. Today, I'm going to be teaching you how to completely change your life in the next six months.
0:43And I'm going to give you just a couple steps. I'm going to give you three steps of exactly how to do it. And the most important step will probably be something that you may have never thought of before. And so this is for anyone who doesn't have a job. This is for someone who does have a job, but you don't enjoy it. This is for someone who does have a job and it's okay, but you just want something different. I'm going to dive in and talk to you about how to massively overhaul your life in six months. Cool? Let's dive into it, okay? Number one, you have heard me say this if you've been listening for a long time, is you have to get very clear on exactly what it is that you want in this life.
1:26Most people have no freaking clue what they want. They have a little bit of an idea. They have a little bit of a vision, a little bit, but it's like looking at something through like one of those, the thing that I'm thinking of immediately is putting frosting, that frosting tape over a glass window, right? And like you could see shadows walk by, but you don't know who it is that's walking by. That's kind of like people when they're looking at their vision and looking at the life of what it is they want to create. Most people have a very vague shadow idea of what it is that they want to create.
2:05But if I said, say it to me in detail, they don't really know. And so what you have to do is you have to get very clear on exactly what it is. And when you think you know what it is, go deeper and go deeper and say, tell me more, tell me more. And the reason why is because the clearer that you are, the better that you can visualize it. And you're going to visualize it every single day. you have ultimately brainwashed yourself into believing that the life that you don't want or the life that you want is not possible right now and what you're going to do is you're going to brainwash and brainwash and brainwash yourself into believing it's possible visualization is great to be able to see what you want to believe it to manifest all of that stuff but ultimately what you're doing is you're trying to trick yourself into believing that this shit is actually possible because there's a point of view, there's a part of you that doesn't believe that it's possible for you to create the life that you want.
3:01And so when you visualize it every single day, every single day, every single day, your brain starts to be like, man, this is possible because I keep seeing it every single day. And then you become more excited to go for it. And here's what I want you to do in getting very clear of what exactly what it is that you want. I want you to learn one really high income skill. Maybe it's a skill that you already know and you've been doing it for 10 years and you need to just really master this skill. Maybe it's a skill that you know just a little bit and you're like, you know what, if I could get better at this thing, I could charge really high prices to do whatever it is.
3:42Or maybe it's something that you don't have an idea of this yet and you have to go out there and actually start to search for it. And you want to develop one high income skill. It could be running Facebook ads so that you can run Facebook ads for other people's Instagram and Facebook. It could be writing articles. It could be making YouTube videos. It could be coaching people and becoming a consultant. It could be Shopify stores. It could be Etsy stores. It could be Facebook ad revenue. It could be sponsorships on Instagram or Facebook or YouTube. It could be how to run a clothing brand online.
4:21It could be selling courses. It could be affiliate marketing. It could be podcasting. It could be writing emails for other people who have large lists. It could be selling supplements. It could be selling on Amazon. It could be freelancing on Upwork. It could be social media management. It could be YouTube. It could be writing Kindle books. It could be consulting. It It could be freelance writing. There's so many, there's a million ways to make a million dollars. You just have to decide which one you want to dedicate your time to. And so you just decide, you know what? I'm going to literally just flip my life on its head in the next six months.
4:57And I'm going to learn one high income skill and I'm going to become obsessed with it. I'm going to buy every book that I can from it. I'm going to watch every YouTube video that I can from it. I'm going to read every book that I possibly can. And you take six months to start learning and mastering one skill. And you start figuring out how to make money doing it. Because if you can master one high income skill, people will pay you for your services. And you are paid in the marketplace based off of your knowledge and what you know and what you can do and changes that you can make in the world or other people's businesses or lives, whatever it might be.
5:36and then what you're going to do is you're going to start a business with that skill. Okay, so that's number one. Number two is you're going to make a plan and you're going to make a business plan and you're going to get very clear on what it is that you need to do to grow that business to whatever it is that you want it to, right? Get really clear on what it is that you need to do to create the life that you want. The business that you want, the money that you want, the happiness that you want, the peace that you want deep down in your soul, the love that you want between you and your family, you're going to start to actually make a plan of how to not only like keep all of the plates spinning in your life, but how to make sure that every single one of them is running at a level 10.
6:25No more like running at level six or level seven anymore or a four, but like how, what does it look like for everything in your life to be a home run? And you might be sitting there and thinking like, well, I don't know if that's possible. It is, but who do you need to become in order to make that possible? Some people say like, I can't be a great father and I can't be a great business owner at the same time. And that none of those things are true. That's just a mindset, a fake mindset that you have around something. It's a scarcity mindset because scarcity means it's either this or it's this.
7:01Abundance is it is this and it is this. And so it is possible for you to be an incredible parent and an incredible business owner, but maybe you just need to expand yourself and you need to learn and you need to grow yourself in order to make both of those realities possible in your reality. And so what you're going to do is you're going to get very clear on what it is that you want. And then you're going to get very clear on what it is that you need to do to get it right. You can figure it out. Stop acting like you don't know. We all know or have a pretty good idea of what it is that we need to do to create the life that we want.
7:37We just don't do it. And so you have to know, know exactly what it is that you want. And then what you have to do is you have to make a plan to in order to get it and understand that your plan is not set in stone. Your plan will change and change and change along the way. Things are going to come up that were unforeseen circumstances, and you're going to need to make a little bit of a change. No big deal. Change your plan a little bit. And once you change it, start going with that plan. It will be okay to take detours along the way as long as the destination stays the same. And ultimately that is your North star that you're always trying to head towards is, is the life that you're trying to create, the business you're trying to trying to create, the happiness you're trying to create, all of those things.
8:21And then what you do is you get so obsessed with this life you want to create, whatever this life is, because it's different for everybody listening. You get so obsessed and it becomes what I like to call your magnificent obsession. You're just so obsessed with this thing that what you do is you put every ounce of energy, besides the fact of like, you know, feeding your children and taking them to school and all that, but you put every ounce of energy into that thing that you're trying to create. You become obsessed with it. And it's really wild. I, um, I got a voice message this morning from, from one of my teammates, uh, team members that works in my company has been here for, for three years.
9:02And he told me this awesome story. And I always say, uh, to people, you know, like if I always say stuff like, um, I used to say this a lot when I, when I used to speak at events, I would sit in front of a group of people and I would say, Hey, everybody in the room, what's the percentage chance that you make a million dollars this year and I'd be like you tell me and they would say zero percent and zero percent and one percent and zero percent and two percent then some crazy person which would usually be the highest number almost always was five percent oh I could do a five percent and I say okay what's the percentage chance of you making a million dollars this year legally and if you don't everyone that you love dies and everyone's like because it's the most extreme example I could give you, right?
9:43Everyone's like a hundred percent, a hundred percent, a hundred percent, a hundred percent, a thousand percent. And I said, that's interesting. The goal didn't change. The timeframe didn't change. What changed your why, your motivation for doing it. And so I got a voice message this morning from one of my team members and it was great because he, he's like, Hey, I got to tell you a story that goes exactly what you're talking about, about having a strong why and having motivation towards something. He goes, I got a, I got a call from one of my friends from college. And he said, Hey, do you remember?
10:14I'm just, let's just say his name is Chris, right? His name is not Chris, but his friend goes, Hey, do you remember Chris from college? And he goes, yeah. And he goes like, Chris was kind of like, uh, not motivated guy. He didn't do much of his life. And he's, he's explaining it to me. He goes, Chris was in debt,$40 ,000, uh, in gambling debt to some bookies who are pretty like hardcore people, like the stuff you see in movies, right? And at the beginning of February, they said, you have to pay us the$40 ,000 by the end of this month or else, you know, things are going to happen. And there's extreme things that would have happened had he done, had he not paid them, right?
10:55And so this guy goes, oh my God, I've got like 20 something days, 28, 29 days to be able to pay these people $40 ,000. I don't have it. And so what did he do? He started thinking outside of the box. and not being the same version of himself, but going, holy shit, if I've never done it before, I've got to do something different. So he started thinking outside the box. And so what he started doing, no joke, was dumpster diving to find things. He would find things and then he would sell them to pawn shops. And then he's like, I need to make more money to figure out what else I can do. And so he started going to junkyards and finding things that he could sell.
11:30And so he went to junkyards and he was getting bumpers in junkyards and then selling them for more money and other places and eBay and all of this stuff. He got super creative. And guess what? He made over$40 ,000 and was able to pay the bookies that he owed. Why? Because he owed them$40 ,000 or he could possibly die. And I said to my team member who's on the team, I said, what's crazy about that is he could do that every single month and he would make over$480 ,000 for the year. He would make over almost a half a million dollars a year if he just decided to be creative, and hustle as hard as he hustled because he didn't have time.
12:08He had to hustle. He didn't think about his worries. He didn't think about his fears. He didn't think about his limiting beliefs. It's like, hey, I need to do this because I want to live. And he was able to luckily pay them back and be able to do it. But it just shows you like he decided he's going to have to do something different. He's going to have to be somebody different. And his why behind the goal was so strong, he figured it out. And it's like one of my first mentors, my first coach used to tell me all the time, When your why is strong enough, your how will reveal itself. This guy wanted to live.
12:41That is the strongest why you could come up with. How is going to reveal itself. And so that's what you have to figure out. Number two is to make a plan and to get to have a strong why as to why you want to create that. And then number three, which is the one that you probably haven't heard too many times. I want you to disappear for six months. Tell everyone that you know that you're going to disappear for six months. Tell your friends, I'm gone. I can't watch football with you. I don't care about March Madness. I've got to disappear for six months because I'm going to change my life. If they get mad about it, they were never a true fan anyways.
13:17Your true friends, they should be like, fuck yeah, man. I want you to go do it. Go disappear. Become something different. I can't wait to see you in six months. You can go back to your normal scheduled hanging out once you finish. finish but here's what you're going to do you're going to disappear you're not going to exist anymore you're going to stop going to parties you're going to stop hanging out with friends stop doing anything that does not get you closer to the goal that you wrote down on your piece of paper now obviously once again as i said a few minutes ago if you have children you have things that you have to take care of right you do have children that you have to tend to you have to make sure they have everything they need you have your family you have to pay the mortgage you have to do all those things anything outside of the absolute necessary you're going to dedicate yourself to over the next six months outside of that in the free time to learning that skill to getting better at it and to figuring out how to grow a business to completely change your life and change yourself and I promise you everything that once was the way that it was will be exactly the same in six months I went in in 2017 I travel with my girlfriend at the time now my wife for six months and we left the country we were gone for six months when we came back everything was exactly the same.
14:32Every person was exactly the same. Nothing was different. You can do anything for six months. We're talking about a complete rewiring of yourself and who you are. And you will improve as you go. You won't be good at these things when you first start, but you keep going. That's why you have six months. And what you're trying to do is you're trying to take these six months to make a complete reset of who you are, of who you thought you were. These six months, if taken seriously, will completely change your life. Now, I know I'm just being flat out honest. Most people listening to this podcast aren't going to do it.
15:11That's just the truth. I wish that everybody would just fully reset and just dedicate six months to themselves, to growing themselves, becoming better business person, better in your mindset, better as a parent, better as a human being. Most people won't. But some people listen to this podcast are like, I'm all in. I don't want to do this anymore. I'm going to change my life. And now's the time that I'm going to change my life. When you bring your head up in six months, you will be a different person. And then you fast forward five years, your life is vastly different than if you just decided to stay on the same path that you've been on this entire time.
15:49It's only six months. You can do anything for six months. And I promise you, if you dedicate the next six months to you learning, growing, disappearing, and just focus on that thing and taking care of the most important things with your family and with your bills and with your job and all those things. But every free moment is going towards you trying to become the new version of yourself. It's game over. You're a different person. It's a different life. And I promise you, you're going to look back and be like, damn, I'm so glad that I did that. I don't see any person deciding to dedicate the next six months themselves, their self-development, their business development, their personal development, their spiritual development, their emotional development, and being like, oh, that was a waste of time.
16:32So if you're up for the challenge, do it. And then send me an email in six months and let me know how different your life is. So that's what I got for you for today's episode.
