Step number one, whether it's with us or you or somebody, is you got to start studying wealth and start studying the mind so you understand the equipment that you were born with.
Most people are living in a reactive state to their environment. They see, they taste, touch, and smell, and they react.
My name's Rudy Moore, host of Living the Red Life podcast, and I'm here to change the way you see your life in your earpiece every single week.
If you're ready to start living the red life, ditch the blue pill, take the red pill, join me in Wonderland and change your life. Hey guys, what's up? Welcome
back to another episode of Living the Red Life here with my friend Brian, one of the top mindset
experts when it comes to the mindset behind money success. I turn to him. He's been around this
space for a very long time, built many successful businesses. I'm super excited to dive into this episode with you guys today and talk about the mindset
of money.
I'm often referencing it in our podcasts and all my solo casts as well.
So I'm finally glad to spend a whole session with an expert like yourself, really diving
into like, what is mindset around money?
So yeah, welcome to the show.
Thanks for showing up. Thanks for having me. It's a pleasure to be here. It's a pleasure to be sharing this with your
audience. Yeah. So let's talk about the mindset, right? I think back, you know, if I look back a
few years ago, I used to think it was like, I didn't appreciate it. I think I came to this
realization is I didn't appreciate it because it was almost natural to me. And then when I
worked more and more with businesses, I realized like, hey, for me to really help them, I can give
them the strategy, but if they don't have the mindset to execute, it doesn't matter. And then
eventually it clicks. I'm like, hey, that was the same for me in fitness, right? So it used to be
the same. You got really good at the nutrition and exercise science side.
But if you couldn't have them do the behavior change side, nothing mattered.
And then when I finally clicked that it's exactly the same here, because it took me
a long time to really resonate with that.
Then we now start helping our clients and supporting people more.
And I've realized the mindset has been so important for me.
And so now I'm like a big fan. I spend
more time on it. Obviously, I speak to you about it. And we talk about big picture things. And
then obviously, you help some of our members and do some trainings for them on how they can get
the right mindset for money. But going backwards in time, how did you get into this? Well, it's
interesting. And you're not alone, by the way. And when you and I first met, we started talking about that because,
you know, the way you think and act and operate to you is natural. You're an outlier, right? I
mean, you're an outlier, right? But what about everybody else, right? People that want to
succeed, entrepreneurs that want to succeed, and they're just, they're hitting walls. They don't
know why. So there's a level of unconscious confidence that you have that if somebody
else doesn't have it, we can teach that. And that's more the way I was. I didn't come out of the womb firing,
you know, all the entrepreneurial guns like you did. I had kind of a normal life up to like age
41, 42. I was an engineer, I was an architect, I was a builder, kind of traditional things.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then I met a mentor, you know, and I'm sure you have many mentor stories yourself. It usually
takes something outside of the traditional schooling system to learn how
billionaires think. There's no school at Harvard called, let's be a billionaire, right? So I was
very blessed to seek and meet a mentor. His name is Bob Proctor. Many of your audience probably
knows him, have studied his things. And I menteed with him for about 12 years before he passed and
really carrying the torch of what he's teaching, which is really how the world's most successful
people think and act and
operate, right? From a conscious to subconscious in the body. And it's funny when you talk about
mindset, a lot of people think it's like woo-woo in ethereal. It's like, oh, mindset. But 95% of
our success is going to be because of a strong mindset. And then the mind controls the body to
act. So my journey was very, probably like a lot of your audience. I wasn't an outlier in any way like that.
It was more traditional, but then I met somebody.
I always had drive and willpower and discipline,
but I just didn't have the roadmap to understand how an entrepreneur really thinks.
So it was programmed more traditionally.
Yeah, it's funny because one of the biggest, like I moved to America
and then I basically spent all my time with millionaires or successful people
because I didn't know anyone else. And then I think actually I started noticing the mindset
gap more when I hired a bunch of employees and I started expanding my coaching services because,
you know, I used to do more boutique agency where it was 10, 15, 20 grand a month. So
generally that set the bar at a certain level. And then we then expanded to like,
hey, we want to help the world.
We want to help anyone in entrepreneurship.
And you see these beginners, right?
Or people less experienced
and they have more mindset blockers.
And that's when I really got fascinated
in how can I help those people solve those, right?
Which is what you do too.
Because I always say you can Google everything
you need to know about ads, funnels, blah, blah, blah. In theory, i always say you can google everything you need to
know about ads funnels in theory right yeah but you can't really fix you if you don't fix your
mindset around spending money around failures around all these things it doesn't matter you're
never going to be successful so what are some of the biggest things you notice in the highly ultra
successful versus the people that aren't successful in entrepreneurship?
Yeah, that's a great question. I think one of the biggest things you learn from like really
successful people like yourself, even billionaires, is they don't care what everybody thinks.
Yes.
They don't care what the masses think.
I even had that in school. Like for some reason, I never cared what people think.
That's the unconscious competence part. But that's rare. Most kids, especially kids,
they're panic stricken about what everybody's thinking about us.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They have bad self-images.
So for whatever reason, you were born with a very positive outgoing self-image or a discipline.
So for some reason, you had that inner desire.
You weren't going to let this stop you, right?
Mm-hmm.
But most of the world, and I do mean like a high 90% of people, they let the environment control their thinking.
Yeah, yeah.
Instead of thinking to create their environment.
So billionaires don't do that.
Steve Jobs never gave a crap about anybody thought about him, right?
Elon Musk, he's not thinking, he's not reading the news.
He's creating the news.
Yeah, I always think it's like, that's how I am.
I'm like living in, you know, people used to, I remember my old friends and my old girlfriend back in England, even my parents, they'd always joke like it's
Rudy's world. We're just living in it. Right. And then that's a good thing. Yeah. Yeah. And even
now, and, but I think it's like some people almost like see it as arrogance, right? Cause I'm so like
self-obsessed in a way, but yeah, it's really focused. It's not arrogance. It's awareness
that it can be perceived as arrogance. So sure. Does it, right? Because it's like, I even, to talk about this,
and for you guys, like this idea of not caring
about what everyone else thinks is so important.
It's fundamental.
Yeah, it's so important.
I think to happiness in life, not even in entrepreneurship.
100%, 100%.
So the more you can separate yourself
from the emotion of whatever people think,
the better life becomes, the more fun it becomes,
and I think it unlocks creative freedom.
Oh, absolutely.
It's a lot of energy spent in the wrong direction.
You're always worried about what people are thinking, right?
Yeah, well, and you get this new free token to just do wild things
and to do things that might not work and things that might fail.
And that's how all billion-dollar brands are pretty much built.
They're like a crazy idea crazy big probably
gonna fail and you see the 0.001 that don't fail right but if that entrepreneur didn't have that
hey let's try it kind of attitude uh that billion dollar brand won't exist today and a lot of
innovation in our in our world we live in is because of that mindset right well correct me
if i'm wrong but you talk about somebody, again,
I use like Steve jobs, Elon Musk, Warren Buffett, those type of people.
But even with yourself,
you don't ever start an idea thinking it's not going to work.
No. Yeah. You always like have the, that sounds funny, doesn't it?
But you have this idea that if it doesn't work, so what? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
exactly. You're not going to. Yeah. And now I do like,
we just spent a week at my castle and we do a few, you've been right.
You spend a, we spend two or three days with our clients.
Right. And then we spend two or three days extended or before brainstorming.
And most of the brainstorming we do, I would, you know, a normal person sat in the room.
These guys are all crazy because they're all like crazy ideas, big ideas, big X, you know, how to expand beyond where we are. And, uh, and, you know,
I often reference, I'm like, so a lot of these ideas are lottery tickets. It's like, but if one
of these out of 10 works and we pull it off, it can add $20 million, $100 million. Uh, but you
have to have that, that attitude. Like it's okay that a lot of these won't work.
But it's knowing that the few things that do can change your life.
You discover things, right?
You learn so much during that process and you take the piece of that thing that didn't work and you apply it to the next thing and that thing works because you don't keep making the same mistakes.
So a lot of the times an entrepreneur, we're going down paths discovering and learning what not to do.
And how much are you going to learn?
Because you're not going to learn that in school.
So there's literally nobody else that can teach you unless you get a mentor like I did.
I know you've had some.
Yeah.
And I come back to, I reference a lot about trying things like Richard Branson.
I was speaking to him.
Yeah, perfect example.
Yeah, I was on his island and we were talking about this.
One of the biggest things I saw when i was talking to
him about it is someone next to me asked what are your biggest failures and he couldn't really
answer the question and his immediate reply was well and he's very casual yeah you know he's like
the most casual billion yeah and he's like well i don't really have any failures i just you know i
see i've tried things that didn't maybe work as well yeah and that's exactly how my mindset is and i was thinking about it in the car driving home the other day
that i don't actually perceive them as failures until someone uses that keyword and i sit and
think about it and i go well in theory if if a business analyst or someone was looking at it
yes all these initiatives failed and all these were um and i think that's such an important
mindset thing right is like seeing the world that way of hey i tried these they didn't work but this
did work what how do you get your mindset to that level because there's a lot of people that great
question yeah how do they get there well i mean the only way i got there was was from studying
like that type of curriculum from somebody who had studied the mind for 60 years right just like anything else how do you how do you become a good forex trader
i got a mentor i started training i studied it how do you learn chinese right so most people
just aren't studying wealth okay like quite literally they just that there's nothing that
they're studying that's that's from a billionaire or or a curriculum is designed to figure out how
the mind works the mind body connection so step number one, whether it's with us or you or somebody,
is you've got to start studying wealth and start studying the mind
so you understand the equipment that you were born with.
Most people are living in a reactive state to their environment.
They see, they taste, touch, and smell, and they react.
Like COVID is a good example.
The whole world froze up, right?
You and I, we just kept building businesses.
I kept traveling.
Yeah, it's an opportunity too, right? Yeah, yeah. You see opportunity. You're like, wow, now everybody's, we just kept building businesses. I kept traveling. It's an opportunity
too, right? You see opportunity like, wow, now everybody's going to be working from home.
Well, we work with people that work from home. We work with solo entrepreneurs, right? So that
was a massive opportunity. Same thing with the Great Depression, right? Last time I had checked,
there was more millionaires and billionaires came out of the Great Depression than any other time
in history. So what's the difference? We see things differently. That's all it is. It's the same stuff.
It's the same world, same environment.
We just look for what's good.
And so part of it is just deciding to start studying your mind a little bit
in the direction of like whatever you want.
If it's a million, 10 million, 100 million, a billion,
there's no such thing as big or small.
And where do you think that positivity or optimistic outlook comes from in entrepreneurs?
Because one of my staff said this to me three days ago because he got in a bit of a debate with another staff member about a project.
And who was, you know, it was like a sales initiative and who had ownership of it.
And I just said, you know, and and he kind of said we need a better system
and it was like a newish thing and i'm like i just said yeah i mean we'll figure it out it's
just part of our ever-growing system right and then i said you know look at it this way that a
year ago we didn't even have all of these projects and issues to even argue about like having this
problem was a pipe dream a year ago because of the certain
project it was um and he said really that's why i work here is i love your optimism and yeah the
optimistic and positive look on us on things right but i didn't sit there and go let me plan
no just a natural conditioning yeah fly to him yeah yeah yeah for sure well i mean you you probably
won't succeed at a high level if we don't have that optimistic.
And people look at it like unicorns and rainbows, but there's only two ways to look at something, optimistic or pessimistic.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Positive or negative.
There's no neutral, like a neutral way to look at something.
So given that we have the choice and I know your goal is multiple billions, if you're going to get there, you can't have a pessimistic look on things.
You have to have a positive look.
You have to always be looking for what's the lesson or what's the good.
And if you don't, you just won't make it.
So people listening now that are more, because I think society makes you pessimistic.
I used to be.
It's environmental conditioning.
I used to be a bit like way more negative.
I think not like negative in a bad, bad bad way but i used to be more look at the
downsides the problems well it could fail yeah and i think when i moved to america i became much
more optimistic so how does someone get more optimistic well think about what you did what
i know you've you've hung on with a few billionaires now yeah yeah so you stopped
taking advice from millionaires now you're taking from billionaires yeah you keep going up right
that's the deal right most people listen to like next-door neighbor about advice who's got a horrible marriage, broke.
We're listening to our brother-in-law, our parents who might never have succeeded at a high level.
So right from birth, we're conditioned and we're being taught or mentored by people that are ignorant.
So I think that's a good – here's how I would summarize that.
Qualify who you listen and take advice to.
Yes, absolutely.
No one really teaches that, but I've learned that.
Like I sometimes sit there and I'm like, I probably, they probably think I'm being really rude right now.
It's like I have this like self-defense mechanism where I switch off and I just go, yeah, or I'll do like, because it's like I'm creating this barrier between when I know they're talking about a bunch of crap.
Yeah.
It's something that doesn't matter so so you're saying one way to be more optimistic and have a better mindset is
like the filtration system basically right field filtering what's coming in and out absolutely good
and the bad and finding better people to listen to yeah it's purposely doing things like instead
of you know watching movies before night or tv it's like educate yourself even and i hate to go back to like books and stuff, but it's true. It's like,
well, how are you spending your time? Are you letting media come at you with TV and social
media? Or are you shutting all that out? Because none of it's really going to do anything for you.
And like studying, like you said, if it's marketing, if it's Forex, if it's your mind,
that's one thing that's that costs pennies, right?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait wait a second before we go into the

it very, very much so we can keep growing this show and make it awesome. So let's get back into
the episode. I appreciate you guys and let's dive back
in do you think tv and what people absorb if they're watching like i just started watching
this like uh drama this uh reality show sure and the only reason i'm watching is where big
goal of mine this year is to produce three or four tv shows right so we're already filming two
and we're filming three more this what you're doing is market research yeah you're literally looking to swipe copy stuff yeah yeah i'm looking at how they
but but anyway and my wife loves it but the whole show is negativity it's these girls arguing with
each other yeah yeah yeah so but and i'm like watching it like this and i'm like there's a
bunch of i don't believe it or i'm like who watches this and like it's so bad and they're
all so dramatic which makes the show good i get it because part of you is addicted to like what's going to happen next.
But normal people, maybe without my mindset, does that negative energy rub off on them?
Of course, it's the same thing as if when you're born and if you're born in China, you're going to pick up Chinese.
Yeah, it's identical. Right. Whatever whatever is going on around you with your sight sight sound
taste touch and smell you you build mental programs right so um in the truth of the matter
is most people you know they're not doing well so they're in a depressed state so then they resonate
with the shows that have similar content and then their colleague at work's complaint they want it
yeah time so they spend eight hours with a bunch of itchy people in a cubicle, in a work space they don't like.
And then they probably go and watch drama or TV.
A million percent.
Yeah.
Most of the times they're trying to escape, unfortunately.
Yeah.
I mean, I think if I had 12 hours of a day like that, I'd be negative too, right?
It's like eight hours of people complaining at work and then four hours of...
Yeah.
So, I mean, if that's you or you know someone close to you that you got to get them out that state, would you say that's the first thing you have to do or one of the first?
Well, I mean, leaving your job might not be an option.
I think you should have a plan, 6, 12, 18 month plan.
If you have a negative work environment, if you're not creating.
I just mean getting out of that bad state.
Oh, absolutely.
Even if you try and move within your workplace to a different department or area or change desk.
Or you can just change your perception.
You don't have to change it.
Just the way you look at it, right?
A lot of people, I hate my job.
It's like, well, what if you were living in a third world country, right?
You literally take the same situation.
You change your perspective.
Like, thank God for my job, right?
It does this, this, this.
So that's an internal thing.
Well, I do that too.
So even when we have a big problem in business, I always go, well, at least I'm not getting a $700 million lawsuit
like Mark Zuckerberg from the government.
And then I quickly go from, oh, this sucks to, yeah, this isn't too bad.
Yeah, you're changing relativity and perspective.
That's exactly what you're doing.
So that's a skill everyone should have.
Yeah, you should be able to look at it.
How would Rudy look at it?
How would Mark Zuckerberg look at it?
I like Richard Branson, by the way.
He's awesome.
He's somebody that I model because he's not like a narcissistic billionaire.
No.
He got where he got.
He's a humanist.
He's spiritually connected.
He's super chilled out.
To me, he's done all things in a balanced way, right?
There's other ones that got to the top by stepping on everybody.
I always use Steve Jobs as the example because he created a lot and he had like seven or eight billion when he passed
but his life was horrible well richard even i mean he kept people during covid he's funny because he
said this to me and i didn't realize until he said it but he goes rudy i think i was the biggest
uh like one of the biggest billionaires or people in the world impacted by covid because he has virgin atlantic travel flights yeah he just launched four cruises right so
virgin rail he has health clubs in the uk right for a year so in theory literally every business
he had but and he kept you know they went into you know probably more debt in the red to keep
jobs and keep people in jobs than most companies would because of how he cares, right?
Absolutely.
Like I said, he's a humanist.
If you remove all the people from a company, you just have a building.
Yeah.
I think one of his famous quotes is, take care of your employees and they'll take care
of the business.
Yeah.
Right.
Of course.
Of course.
I mean, look around.
That's what you guys are doing, you know?
Yep.
What you're doing here.
I saw some dude buzz by on a scooter, right?
It's like having fun, big smile on his face. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean what you're doing here i see you saw some dude buzz by on a scooter right it's like having fun big smile on his face i mean that's you're creating a culture and i think
companies especially young ones like you gotta you gotta realize you want to build it from the
human side up not from the building back right you don't drive people into cubicles yeah you
create a life where they don't need to escape they come to work with even if it's a medial job
they can still be part of a team right so for those of you that have businesses even if they're small ones you know that culture that humanism and
um especially when you're starting out like small companies you might not have the highest salaries
sure but you can you can provide a quality of life that people will they'll claw to stay in
there though it's like the google the google effect right uh so what else have you you've
worked with a lot of entrepreneurs super successful. What else do you see around like key attributes of the mindset of success?
Yeah.
So one is that, right?
It's not really caring what people think.
I would say two is a certain level of either willpower or desire.
Desire is something I don't know how to teach.
You can inspire people by action.
I can do that too.
Maybe they'll spark up. But it goes, goes right that's the part i feel with motivation and motivation is
impossible and that's why people get wound up about it because you can't motivate somebody
it's like time if i tied a string to you and tried to push you but i can inspire you i can
pull right so i can go there like you're doing and anybody watching like maybe i can do that too
yeah that's why it's so important to tell our stories of back when we,
nobody knew us and we weren't successful. Right.
It's like I've had three divorce.
I'm very transparent about my entire life, the ups and the downs,
all of it, because you know,
my journey is probably more similar to a lot of people. I wouldn't,
like I said, I wasn't 12 years old or the tech company launch, you know?
But it doesn't matter because anybody can learn the mindset of that person.
That's, that's what I want to come here to say.
And that's what we do.
Right.
Yeah.
So the, my, and what about, um, getting mentorship or like books, how can someone start if they're
sad at home, listening to this, you know, we're fortunate now we spend a lot of our
time with successful people.
So it almost starts to compound, right?
Cause you ping pong between all these successful people. Are there any books that changed your life or people should start
reading? Oh, a million percent. I mean, you've probably heard the Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon
Hill. And that's the lineage of what we teach. It's way back in the 1800s, Andrew Carnegie,
the world's first billionaire. He's like, he actually got together with other billionaires
around the world. He's like, we can't go to our graves with this information. Yeah, yeah. And that's how the book Think and Grow Rich came around with Napoleon Hill.
And he mentored Earl Nightingale.
Earl mentored Bob.
And Bob mentored me.
So we're literally carrying that tour.
So if there was only one book, at least for wealth mindset, if it's a love language thing
for between a man and a woman, maybe it's like the five love languages.
But the book that sparked it all for me was Think and Grow Rich.
And so you could do that.
You can get that book.
But I mean, you guys have $97 programs.
We have a $37 mind.
Like there's things out there where people connect and just get those capfuls of information
to start switching some core level things, you know.
And then from there it all compounds.
That plus getting in the environment.
Of course, yeah.
Sounds like such a big thing.
Right.
Absolutely.
Like I guess that's almost a hack.
If you can't do all these little things,
if you can just go work for an entrepreneur or change jobs or relocate
or somehow spend most of your day in the right environment,
would you kind of say that's just like, I see that almost like,
hey, you've got a bunch of diseases and problems with your joints
and your bad energy.
Well, one hack is
just eat super healthy of course that will like fix changing your food environment is what that
is right a million percent same here it's like hey you got exactly the same one hack is just
change your environment and it will fix all these random things of course just because you're born
somewhere doesn't mean you're meant to stay there yeah that's a fascinating concept right i could
have a whole podcast people stab
and i was i was in massachusetts for 50 years but mostly because i built some companies there not
because i didn't know i could move um but just people don't because it's like no it's like the
parents is the biggest excuse right but i think that's like a an excuse because they have fear
right i see my parents more now than when i lived in the same state yeah it's crazy
because you're pretty you do it with purpose and intention too it's the quality of time right is
more we zoom every friday nice and then we meet i had them down there for a couple of months next
year to probably be six months but yeah it's it's changing your environment meant there's a mental
environment there's a physical environment there's relationship environments well they they're the
wrong person that'll mess you up like all the way around who said it i mean grant cardone was saying the other day like the
person your spouse is going to make or break your or someone a few people i mean a few people said
that now the number one thing is is is that partner if especially if they're negative or toxic and
you don't really even know it it's like spend a lot of time with these people well i actually
tell my wife i told her one time i said sometimes you're toxic to me it's like a wake-up call i tell people honest i'm like hey you can't
be like this with me it doesn't work yeah yeah and it's not your fault it's because of who like
how you were brought up exactly you have to be aware of it to fix it right it's like it's just
like having a conversation hey you're leaving dishes dirty every night. Yeah, right, right. It's a bad habit.
We've got to fix that, right?
And this is impacting me and this is what I need.
But I don't think many people would have conversations like that.
Not for long.
But I'm lucky because I purposely chose a life partner
where I could have that conversation without her walking out the door
and saying I'm a dick, right?
Because I couldn't be with someone like
that if you're not open to change and openness and telling it how it is. And you might not like
it, but like sometimes staff or someone in business will tell me something I don't like.
And it's my job now to self-reflect, see where I could be better and then see if they were,
you know, if I think they were correct. Exactly.
Well, it's a difference between reacting and responding.
Now you're more conditioned to respond.
Maybe when you're younger, maybe not so much, right?
And that generally happens as we gain wisdom.
We don't let somebody else's energy or sound cause us to feel anyway, right? You have to give up your power and your control for that.
But super important with spouses is that communication and being able to be transparent. And expectations, staff members, clients,
and I mean spouse too, certain expectations. Absolutely. Yeah. A hundred percent.
So, so how can, you know, we're wrapping up today. I love that one thing that we were talking about,
right? Where people can go and actually look at all aspects of life, not just money.
Oh yeah, yeah. So tell us more about that.
Yeah. We have something called the wheel of life. It's a, it's like a lifestyle audit. It's a hundred
questions. It's super fast. It's like on a scale of one to 10, 10 categories. And what it does is
it goes around like health, wealth, love, family and friends, spirituality, philanthropy, finances,
all these areas. And you take a snapshot of kind of where you're at and it's, it's colorful and
you print it out and you put it on your wall, but it gives you a good starting point. Right? Cause if you want to get to somewhere, you have to know where you are. It it's it's colorful you print it out you put it on your wall but it gives you a good starting point yeah right because if you want to get to somewhere you have to know
where you are it's like getting in a car i've always found one of my challenges is like so i'll
go do that assessment after this but i've not quite yet mastered and i don't know if i if people ever
will or maybe i will in time i generally like have a few of those aspects really good and then always
a couple drop like throughout my life.
I used to have great relationship health,
but business wasn't as good.
And now my,
I've stopped caring about the health side as much in relationship side,
but business and other things are going great.
Right.
So it's like,
how'd you balance all of those?
One is to have that reminder,
right?
Because if you,
if it's not in front of you,
we tend to focus on what's in front of us.
But I mean, you obviously are a visual guy. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, having that printed out every because if you if it's not in front of you we tend to focus on what's in front of us but i mean you obviously are a visual guy yeah yeah so yeah having that printed
out every morning when you're going through your morning routine maybe you're studying maybe you're
getting your mind right meditating you look at that you say wow this you know this romance area
is really dipped and it's like how long do you want to let that go because it's the easiest way
to go to to half of everything yeah yeah. It's from a divorce, right?
But if you don't see it, how do you know?
Yeah.
So taking this survey like once a quarter. Just weighing yourself on the scale every day.
A million percent.
Yeah.
Financially, you guys check weekly probably, right?
You don't let a week go by.
Yeah, yeah.
So it's the same type of thing.
You don't have to obsess about it like at that level on all 10 areas.
But certainly once a quarter, you know, take a look at at that because you can get to a billion dollars have one foot
in the grave and i mean steve jobs ready yeah attracted cancer and died in his late 50s great
okay well yeah guys go do that assessment i'm gonna go do it now i think it's a great starting
point to see where you're at and then creating that intention focus and i'm a strategy tactics
guy so i'm like okay this is
weakness i think you fix things by creating systems yeah right it's how my mind works
it's like oh well my health's bad okay well simple system is i need to now go to the gym three times
or whatever yeah it's like that yeah okay well it's no good just saying i'm gonna make it better
it's like okay well we need to do a date night here when you sit down set expectations what's
good what's bad we need to then do this and this you need to read you know you need to then analyze
hey two weeks let's meet every month and do a recap exactly and that's how i approach most
problems in life and things i want to improve yeah absolutely cool well i appreciate you coming on and
any final mindset hacks tips or tricks to the oh Well, first, if you guys go to Matrix Success International, I think that link should pop right up with the Wheel of Life.
In the show notes too.
Yeah, cool. Perfect.
But yeah, I think it's, I would get the book Think and Grow Rich, start studying and realize that you become what you think.
And that's not just a cute phrase.
Most people, they're just not thinking.
They just kind of drone on day after day
and they're waiting for something out here to change.
You literally have to change from the inside out.
Whether it's health, whether it's finances,
take one or two things at a time,
focus on them, get around like-minded people,
you know, change your environment.
Yeah, and I mean-
Those are all free things.
Yeah, I love that.
And I would just finish with my side of it is
I didn't appreciate it until I could look back, right?
It's like being
at the top of the mountain and I've still got many other big mountains to climb but I would say I'm on
a decent mountain by now right and then I look back down and I look at the route I took to get
there and you were part of this is helping me see hey that mindset that I have even though some of
it was subconscious was so key to getting me here. So now I,
I value it more and I work on it more and I stay aligned to it more. So also appreciating that it is really important in success and it's not just
this woo woo thing or it's not watching a YouTube video.
It's critical.
Yeah.
And like,
it's critical.
Yeah.
Protect it.
Like I see it like a mindset.
Yes.
My bank account I'm going gonna protect and my mindset and energy
i'm gonna protect now i actually trade my bank account for mindset and energy which i wouldn't
have done two years ago no that makes a lot of sense yeah and it's funny what you said about
climbing the mountain because your path if you look back it's kind of like this yeah yeah and
you're here well if somebody hires you as a mentor you get to go straight yeah that's when you're not
going to do all those things you cut the path pack. You're compressing time. So sure. Good stuff. Well, I appreciate you coming
on guys. Show notes. You can find those links, uh, until next time, keep living the red life and,
uh, apply the mindset tactics you need so you can build that dream life,
which is what the red life's all about. I'll see you guys soon. Take care.
