Ep 470: Activating The 3 pillars For Business Success

Transcript

I feel like you're about to be on a roll

huh I feel like you're about to be on a

roll yeah so check this out I've been

doing like this self-actualization

journey for probably 17 years 15 years

something like that but um I was in a

pretty bad place in my life right I was

drinking every single day like every

single day like literally drunk every

day and I was doing a bunch of drugs

smoking weed all the time popping pills

painkillers volumes you know all kinds

of but I knew that my life was G to

be something more right and and I I've

known this my whole entire life even

since I was in elementary school I would

be looking around at the other kids and

I'm like man I wish everybody in here

knew what I was going to become in my

life like I literally thought that as

like a three like a third grade kid and

I never felt like I was better than

anybody else right even though I had

this in my mind like something amazing

was going to happen in my life it's

something that I was always always

always so very sure of so I used to do

construction right I used to do General

Contracting when I was a kid like all

through my like you know late teens with

my dad's company and into my all through

my 20s and even into my 30s I was a

general contractor and I was working in

these big giant like multi-million

dollar homes and I remember always

thinking like as I'm I'm putting in tile

building these showers I'm killing

myself right for like two three grand a

week a grand a week sometimes and like

giving it a 100 hours a week giving it

everything I had working on through my

20s I worked 12 hours a day seven days a

week I didn't go to church I didn't do

anything all through my 20s like for 10

years straight I just worked drank

partied hung out with a bunch of women

just crazy all the time never gave

it a rest

and my 20s are kind of blurry now right

because because everything that I went

through everything that I did but when

I'm working in these big multi-million

dollar houses in these Mansions I'm like

man when I build my Mansion when I build

my big giant house I'm gonna do this and

I'm gonna have mine's gonna look like

this I definitely don't want that but in

my mind I'm already planning you know

building my own massive Castle right and

think about it right like a kid in his

20s drunk you know construction worker

tile Setter building these big intricate

marble showers I me doing doing amazing

work right so I'm like super super

Craftsman like everything's coming out

beautiful I feel like I'm one of the

best like remodeling guys that ever

lived I just really really always cared

about what I did and it was like I was

more of an artist more than a

construction worker but the the the

point of all that is I'm saying is that

you know when I'm working in these big

giant houses it never dawned on me even

as a kid that was like a wreck that I

wasn't going to be able to have these

things for myself right so again like

this this is a pattern in my life is

that I always knew that I was destined

for something greater and working in

these houses I'm like when I build my

house I'm going to have this and I'm

going to do mine this way and I'm going

to put the pool over here and like all I

already assumed that like there was

nothing in my mind that said that this

is not going to work out for me or or

you know hopefully someday my life looks

like this like I was literally already

like planning the I have like all the

designs in my head everything how I want

the roof the pinch the shape the colors

everything's already in my mind like I

already know I'm going to build this big

giant house but I think what leads a

person there is the ability first to

imagine and to know that you're going to

end up there right also with with no

without carrying or applying the

timelines because I think suffering

comes from desire matched up with

uncertainty right so that's where

suffering comes up from you desire

something and then you also have the

uncertainty if you're going to be able

to get it or not right and that could be

like a romantic relationship it could be

a friendship it could be a job it could

be a a status it could be a project

right even even us in this room like

trying to get SS or trying to get a new

contract on a new

property any sort of Desire that you

have I think desire is a good thing

right because you can desire to be a

better person you can desire to be

closer to God I think that's a good

thing but when you mi mix and match that

with the uncertainty that's what causes

suffering that causes depression it

causes anxiety so the all the suffering

you feel is your desires matched up with

uncertainty like not knowing what the

timeline is so if if you can train your

mind and you can train your body to have

those desires and also start to let go

of the uh the timeline like who cares

when when it really happens doesn't

matter if it happens today next month

next week next year but the certainty

you feel in your mind and in your body

that it's absolutely gonna happen I

think that's when you can start to move

into this Flow State and this is all

biblical right so I'm not talking about

magic I'm not talking about manifesting

anything right so God says like he'll

give you the desires of your heart right

and then also let go and let God I'm

sure everybody's heard that before and

now it's just like a cliche saying that

nobody even pays attention to what it

means but what what does it mean you

know this is why I encourage you guys to

pray and meditate all the time if you're

not praying and meditating twice a day

you're always going to struggle at

everything in your relationships

financially everything everything

everything everything so that's why we

have the Ten Commandments for our group

and and it's the last one because I

think it's the most what do you call

that when it's not like practical

knowledge or advice like you can't read

it in a textbook like it's more abstract

right inspired fact there you go yeah

yeah yeah this comes from somewhere else

right you can't re really open a book

and find it but number 10 is that the

meditation and the prayer part that's

required for our group it you really

have to train your body train your mind

to let go and let God and that removes

the uncertainty because if you know for

a fact that you're collaborating with

God like it has to happen it absolutely

has to happen there's no way it's not

going to happen right because you're

like hey God has my back and I really do

believe that I really do that I'm doing

the Lord's work right now because

there's very very little that I desire

for myself Daniel knows this which I

this conversation a million times

there's nothing that I could purchase

right now that would make me happier

more fulfilled put me in a better mood

you know there's nothing that I could

buy that would enhance my the the way

that I feel about myself in my life and

the way things are going because I

really do feel like God has my back like

all the money that's about to come in I

don't even want it I don't even need it

there's nothing that I'm intending to

buy nothing that I plan to purchase

that's gonna be amazing like a yacht or

a boat or a helicopter and all that

stuff's coming right because I'm G need

all the tax write offs but that has zero

to do with with my self-fulfillment but

when you pray and you meditate you just

trust that God's going to bring the

things and the people into your life and

if you have that that certainty right

and you you have that belief in your

heart then what's going to stop it from

coming what could possibly stop it from

coming

right if if you say hey God's going to

deliver it I know it I feel it I pray

about it he already told me yes then

what could possibly what force on Earth

right can happen that could make you not

reach that that point of Desire or or

you know that goal that you're seeking

so that's why it's like if you don't

have that commune that with the spirit

with God higher power whatever you name

tag you want to put on it if you're

communicating with God on a regular

basis how can you follow that guidance

how can you follow that North Star how

can you get there if you're not ever

talking right to the to the Creator and

saying hey you know here's what I intend

to do and here's how I want to get it

done can you help me is this your plan I

was struggling financially you know with

construction it's always up and down

even in land it's been up and down a lot

but I was at a point in my life where it

was pretty low I was doing construction

this is probably like eight years ago

and I I finally just said to God I was

like man you know what I'm going to do

what whatever you want me to do like

literally I'm tired I'm burned out

business has gotten the best of me like

I'm just spiritually physically

emotionally just drained I'm just done

so the most thing that I started praying

the biggest prayer that I had every day

was telling God you lead the way like

literally let go and let God as a prayer

every day all day every day all day like

I'd meditate for hours like I was

tripping I was going through some stuff

I was medit I did like uh 23 days of a

juice fast 21 days of a juice fast 7

Days of a water fast a bunch of times

three days regularly I got down to like

16 pounds you know what I mean so like

I'm like frail my dad was kind of afraid

he thought I was going to die or

something because he's like man you're

getting too skinny but I was just really

having this profound spiritual

experience and I'm just telling God like

hey take it all away I'll be broke I'll

live in a hut and I'll be doing

missionary work in in Mexico or

something if that's what your desire is

for me I don't even want the money no

more like I'm just tired of chasing it

and when I when I went into that like

prayer for for just months on end that's

when my business started to take off

like a rocket that's when things started

to go really really good for me and all

the people showed up all the connection

ction showed up the the knowledge showed

up like everything just started falling

into place when I stopped worrying and

wondering like what was going to happen

and if I was going to be able to hit

those goals and I know that's scary

right to think about that you have bills

right now if you're stressed about

financially stressed you're like dang I

something has to happen you know I can't

let go and let God right now because I

really need this money but that's like

that's the opposite right of what you

want to do because again if you're still

having that desire mixed with that

uncertainty that's where the suffering

is going come from and when you what's

happening is you have a a Perpetual

state of suffering like that because

you're worried and you're stressed about

where everything's going to come from

exactly what's holding you back in your

life that's exactly what's holding you

back from connecting with with with

buyers and sellers and capital and and

everything else in your life you're in

this room right if this audio is hitting

your ears you're already in the right

place you're already around the people

that are doing very very high level

things so it now it's like kind of that

again it's like a feeling how could you

have that feeling of worry and stress

inside of your body and then bam lock up

a deal where you're going to make a

million in cash you know how logical is

that if you just think about it just

think about it that you're worried sick

you're stomach hurts you're like damn

where am I gonna get the money from how

are you going to go from that feeling

walking into a room where you're signing

a contract where you're gonna have a

million dollars coming in right you you

at least have to start with the with the

feeling and the belief that I know

what's going to happen and not because

I'm going to manifested it's not of

myself but I know God already told me

he's going to give it we're going to do

this as as a team it's going to happen

right and when you start to have that

certainty that's when you can walk into

a room with a seller or you're on the

phone with a seller or a buyer and

there's now it's not really too much of

a game of you trying to close them or

sell them or anything it's those Divine

connections that start to happen when

you're like hey I can't believe this

just happen today and then you'll notice

it happens the next day again and then

it happens next week and you're like

okay wait a minute I'm on some kind of

roll right here you're in a flow state

but it's you training your body and it's

training your nervous system to stay in

this this state as much as possible

possible and you're always going to come

out of it right you're never going to

perpetually be in a in a flow State and

never come out of it professional

athletes come out actors come out

everybody comes out of it but the idea

goes I want to stay in this Flow State

as much as

possible so have saying like oh just

keep a positive mindset you know that's

not going to work reading a book that's

not going to work it's training your

nervous system to stay in this state for

a very long time and the only way I know

how to do it is through prayer and

meditation that's it I call it being in

a neutral state right so so think about

this think about a vehicle right driving

or and think about the timeline of your

life like you have the forward motion

and a backward motion right so if you go

in reverse your mind's in the past if

you're in the past that's where you have

depression because you're you're longing

and lingering about things that have

happened before in an old time and so

you feel sad about it because there's

nothing you can do to go back and

correct it right so you're lamenting the

past and that's how you feel depression

if you're thinking about the past too

much if you're if you're always thinking

about the future and the bills are

coming and this is coming and this might

happen and this might happen and you're

stressed you're worried about the future

that's that's how you become anxious and

stressed because you're worried about

the future too much but the Bible talks

about being in the present of God right

like The Power of Now like the ever

presence of God like he's never gone

he's always there but if you're if

you're letting your mind wander to the

past or into the future there's that's

where suffering is but if you're in the

present moment and you're praying and

you're meditating you're with you're in

that commune with God then you can't

feel stress and you can't feel suffering

and you can't feel depressed

because you're you're in the presence of

the Creator right so training your

nervous system to be there I call it

being in the neutral State I've never

heard anybody describe it like that I

say put your you put your nervous system

into a neutral state that means that

you're in the present moment and that's

when you can really really have Focus

you can really make emotional strides

you know strides in business uh learning

education even though you're not

thinking about education or any of those

things because you're in the moment it

all suddenly starts to come to you and

that's how everything progresses in life

in business

if you can just remain calm and stay in

the present moment right in the in

commune with God then everything starts

to come to you it's there's no effort

right there there's no you don't have to

effort to to have these experiences or

for things to come into your life

because that's the way God designed you

right but taking yourself out of the

worry and fear step one right so

physically what can we do one you can

plant your butt on the ground right so

you and first thing in the morning

before everybody wakes up you get up a

little bit earlier than everybody else

before the chaos starts and pray and

meditate for 10 to 50 minutes right 10

to 40 minutes every single morning even

one day a week is better than zero and

then the same thing before you go to bed

once everybody's getting ready for bed

heading the bed you're you're hiding

away somewhere you're in a closet you're

in the bathroom you're in the living

room on the front porch back porch where

there's nobody's going to distract you

there's no possibility of anybody

distracting you you don't need

meditation music you don't need anything

right you're just you and God and that's

it lights off preferably so you don't

have those mental distractions and

visual distractions and that's all you

really really need to do that's that's

stage one step one for training your

nervous system to remain in that flow

State and in that neutral state so that

you can be open to receiving what's

coming next and then another thing you

could do is the the physical right so

that's what this is why I hate like keep

a positive mindset keep a positive

mindset that's never going to work

you're never going to have a positive

mindset without having a positive body

set right so I like to start from the

mechanical side if you're going to work

on your spiritual or or emotional state

start mechanically first because it's

the actual what you can actually do like

you could make yourself sit there and

don't move for 40 minutes you can make

yourself do that so if you can start

with that first mechanical step you put

yourself into neutral that's St that's

stage one in step one before you can

ever get to a positive mindset number

two is Diet nutrition and exercise what

are you putting into your mouth every

day that's something that you have

control over as well right so if you're

eating processed foods and all this crap

and hey look I love hamburgers more than

everybody I'd eat them seven days a week

if I could and I still eat them all the

time me and my c one last week but you

don't have to eat that every single day

we have to actually

yeah we sure did right and and and I'm

all for it you know what I mean I I love

a Diet Coke with or even a regular Coke

with my food absolutely and with my

burger you know I absolutely love it so

I'm not saying you can never have that

stuff again but I'm saying if you want

to make strides in your life pay

attention to what you're putting into

your mouth and and Sugar's not the enemy

carbs are not the enemy I know you hear

that all the time it's straight BS your

body needs a certain amount of

carbohydrate to to do certain functions

so if once you demonize a certain type

of food or food group that's when you're

going to start to struggle again because

you're like well what do I eat right

start with live Whole Foods start with

lots of greens lots of fruits vegetables

all that kind of stuff make that the

base of every meal every single meal

breakfast lunch dinner even if you have

a a big giant hamburger with cheese and

everything try to find something on if

you're at a certain restaurant order

those side salad order order a bowl of

fruit with that that's something that

you can control right so that's

mechanical step number two is

controlling what you're putting into

your mouth I tell you the worst thing

you could possibly eat is stuff that's

like fried like burned oil is terrible

for you right and thenn burned oil with

sugar right so like fried donuts that

kind of stuff any kind of burned oil

seed oils with sugar that's where you

kind when you start to combine certain

foods that's kind of a recipe for a

disaster because your body's trying to

do two things it's trying to clear out

the fat and it's trying to clear out the

sugar at the same time so I wouldn't

demonize anything if you're going to

start to fast you don't want to do

calorie restriction women are famous for

calorie restriction when they're trying

to lose weight hey I'm only eating three

salads a day right now you're on 800

calories a day for a month or two before

you crash and gain it all back right so

it's about consistent see time and

distance but food is a second thing that

you can control I like green juice like

green juice watermelon juice those foods

are alive with electricity like you can

see the electricity coming out of the

juice for like certain type of scope I

can find a a link online and I'll drop

it in there it's pretty fascinating you

can see like broccoli like it's glowing

like electricity like the life force is

shooting off of it right so think about

eating life Foods uh juice when you can

you can buy a whole watermelon stick it

in a juicer and and just have watermelon

juice for one whole day but life Foods

uh that's that's mechanical step number

two right um and you can start there if

you only did those two things if you

only upped your prayer and meditation

and you upu uh and started paying more

attention to what you're eating and

drinking those two things right there

will start to make your body feel

amazing you'll start to feel a complete

change you'll be a different person if

you can do those two things consistently

and then three is the exercise right I

don't care what kind of exercise you do

I literally do not care as long as

you're making your body huff and puff so

if you just go in and you just lift real

heavy weights and you do some squats and

you do some bench press fantastic I

think you need to lift heavy things to

have an amazing cardiovascular system

but I think it's more about getting your

body to to start huffing and puffing

you're you're intaking tons of oxygen

and you're exhaling lots of waste

product from inside of the body right so

that's that's exercise that's primary

exercise is so that sounds like like

biking jumping on a trampoline

fast-paced walking is is amazing I walk

a lot especially when I'm stressed or

when I need to think I'm just walking

around the block like a h hundred times

so anything that that makes your body

like you're taking deep breaths in and

out in and out and if you can't get

yourself to do it on your own and you

know it in your heart you can't like I

hate going to the gym by myself I used

to be able to just go to the I was a

like bodybuilder right so I go to the

gym and I'm just walking around lifting

heavy weights I'm getting super

swo and uh zero cardio I hated cardio

right so I'd rather see you do like some

kind of like a a fitness class like

where there's a group of people there if

you know you have problem getting

yourself to the gym stop working out by

yourself get into any kind of group

class because it makes you do it like

hey right when the clock starts it goes

off everybody in the room is doing all

the same thing all at the same time and

that's where the magic happens Because

by the time the the clock hits 30

minutes or 45 minutes class is over all

right your sweaty mess sweating right

that's that's a way to get a lot of

toxins out of your body so sauna steam

room that kind of stuff but if you just

did those three pillars right there the

the prayer work on your nutrition and

just start ex any kind of exercise at

all that gets you huffing and puffing

that's pretty much it those three things

on a consistent basis over time and

distance that would make make it 10

times easier for you to have a positive

mindset but if you start with positive

mindset only you're not going anywhere I

promise you it's going to be like you're

trying to pull a 18wheeler with a rope

you know I mean it's not going anywhere

but but the momentum starts mechanically

and physically and then it's easier to

put yourself into an emotional good

State into a mentally good state where

like like me myself like right now I'm

high as a kite I haven't had any coffee

I had some green juice this morning with

some beet juice and whatever else I got

from Whole Foods pineapple juice I just

threw it all in the same container

I started driving and then randomly on

YouTube that Joseph Rodriguez video

popped up and I was going to start

listening to it but I said you know what

let me drop this in the chat real quick

that way everybody else can kind of

catch the vibe but if if you just listen

to that right he's talking about being

able to have the feeling and match that

with your desire and all that stuff none

of that works without the physical so

that's why I wanted to have this phone

call real quick to say hey look there's

a step one two two and three to having a

positive mindset before you ever try to

get yourself into a positive mindset

there's a lot of other things that you

can do and I think you can pull anybody

out of this state right if it's

depression whatever it is if you start

with those three pillars you can move

mountains and you can move it for other

people but you can't give that to

somebody else until you've done it for

yourself first right like we wouldn't be

having this conversation right now if I

didn't already do this for myself and

practice it for the last you know 15 or

17 years to get to where I am today and

now like I said like now I'm just

driving around no no stimulants at all I

didn't have any marijuana today I didn't

smoke any cigar

I didn't drink any coffee I haven't had

any alcohol and I'm high as a kite right

now I didn't exercise this morning you

know I didn't get up at 5 a.m to

meditate it's just a regular day and I'm

feeling amazing and I'm not like this

seven days a week but probably four four

and a half five days a week for sure so

that's what I wanted to share with you

guys is uh if if you oh yeah yeah how

does so how does all this pertain to

business right well first things first

you have to be able to put yourself into

that state of belief right like I just

know damn well well I don't have any

proof that says that we're going to buy

you know five more hundred acres or

thousand more Acres this year I have no

proof of it right the contracts aren't

here the capital is not exactly in our

bank account yet it's not in the fund

yet but in my mind in my heart and in my

body I already know we already did it I

already know and then you're thinking

like well how that that's exactly how it

has to start first with that level of

certainty and belief so if you know in

your heart I'm going to get a deal today

I'm going to get a contract today I'm

going to find a buyer

today first things first did you start

with the three pillars right did you get

in that exercise are you making the

great food choices are you getting in

the sauna are you getting out in the sun

making yourself sweat are you doing the

three pillars are you praying you know

maybe you don't pray seven days a week

but you know can you start with two four

six right and you'll notice the more

that you do those consistent three

things you feel like you know what I

just have better luck now I feel like I

have more grace now I feel like things

are starting to work out for me a little

bit easier now with less effort and

that's kind of where where I think

Daniel and myself are right now like now

we're having like tremendous success and

even though we're still working 80 hours

a week only I can tell you is that I

know in my body and my mind and in my

spirit that I feel like the pressure is

less now like I'm still working this

similar amount of hours but we're able

to move a lot bigger what's the word for

it Daniel we're we're more comfortable

in our current state because we've grown

to this

position yeah yeah so we can we can move

larger amounts of capital larger amounts

of deals with less and less effort over

time and distance so it's like you're

you're starting to get more Roi from

your effort as what's happening now but

how did it happen again like three

pillars starting to move more like

Daniel myself been having a lot of

Health conversations we want to start

searing the the podcast to to more

Health conversations for this reason

because somebody can try to sell you the

guru course they can tell you hey our

strategies and our contracts and the way

we do things but if you start with the

three pillars all that other stuff

becomes easy it's effortless you kind of

almost don't even need a course right

because it's like the way to hack life

like to have like the the grace of of

God helping you on your side and then a

body a vessel that can that can put in

those 80 or 90 hours a week to make it

happen and when I used to put in the 80

or 90 hours a week I thought I was going

to die because it was just too much like

it's wearing out my nervous system

wearing out my brain but the healthier I

get my body the more I exercise the more

that I move the better food that I eat

now working 80 hours a week is like

nothing it's like this this is

absolutely nothing because when you

exercise you're forcing your body to go

through like these really traumatic

experiences over and over and over again

which makes a 80 hour work week feel

like nothing right so that was it man

that was the call that's what I wanted

to tell you you cannot shift yourself

into a positive mindset or into a state

of belief until you work on your your

your physical your spiritual if you

start there business becomes a lot lot

easier and what you think was a big deal

like man if I could just get my first

contract where I make a 100 Grand and

that's going to be the world those deals

come more often and frequently and all

the time when you're when your body's

ready to receive it so that was the call

man that that was the whole point of the

call if you guys have any questions I'll

hang out and talk about it I'll go

deeper into something so I'll just open

it up real quick if anybody wants to

chat or share a similar experience or or

ask any questions real fast DNE says she

took notes hope everybody's listening

today Daniel heard it in my voice

something about to happen better record

it you got something Israel You're muted

no everything is fine okay all right I

think we're good an yeah that's it guys

that's what I wanted to share with yall

if you feel like you're hitting a wall

if you feel like you're living in a

groundhog day and you're having the same

thing over and over and over again and

getting very little progress It's

because you haven't activated the three

pillars I promise you I promise you if

you're struggling right now in your

business you're not doing the three

pillars which is a prayer working on

your nutrition and then getting tons of

oxygen into your bloodstream that's all

you really need to do and then business

becomes super easy you start to feel I

call it luck I like to use the word luck

because it's like very relatable but I

mean grace right I mean the grace of God

like things just start to go easier for

you well like I said you get more Roi

for your investment of time and energy

but that's a call guys get out there

destroy it if y'all want to go any

deeper on this or have any questions

about it text me hit me up on messenger

or something and I'll get back with you

try to help you uh take it to the next

level all right everybody have a blessed

day man see You' soon

thank

[Music]
