So if you want to join in, go to habits30.com. All right, let's go ahead and dive into today's episode. All right, let's talk about how to make a million dollars. Now we're talking about how to make a

Starting point is 00:03:01 million dollars. What I really want you to know is I don't care if you make a million dollars. I don't care if you make 10 million. This actually has nothing to do with money, but I'm going to talk about money to give you an example of what I mean. You can take a million dollars and you can replace it with happiness. You can replace it with the perfect relationship. You can replace it with love. You can replace it with joy.

Starting point is 00:03:21 You can replace it with whatever it is that you want to peace. You can replace it with friendships, with building a charity. But I'm going to use one million dollars as an example. And this is one of my favorite exercises to take a group full of like a little 200, 300, 400 people group through. And I'll sit in front of a group of a couple hundred people and I'll ask them this question. I'll say, everybody raise your hand if you want to and tell me, be completely honest. What's the chance of you making a million dollars legally in the next 12 months? Be honest with yourself. Write that number down on a piece of paper. So I have them write it down on a piece of paper. I've done this through live events. I've done it through webinars. I've done it a bunch of different times. And I say, who wants to, you know, raise their hand and tell me,

Starting point is 00:04:09 actually, let's do this. Raise your hand if you said 0% chance and 99% of people's hands will go up because 99% of them think that within the next 12 months, they're not going to be making a million dollars. But, you know, maybe in a couple years, they can make a million dollars in a year. So I say, if you had a 0% chance, raise your hand. Most people's hands, 98, 99% of people's hands go, yeah, it's a 0% chance that I'm going to go from making $50,000 a year to making a million dollars a year right now. And I say, OK, put your hands down. All right, raise your hand if you put 1% chance.

Starting point is 00:04:44 And then a whole bunch of other hand if you put 1% chance. And then a whole bunch of other people, the next like 1% of people's hands go up. I say, okay, cool. Put it down. All right. Now raise your hand if it was between two and 5%. And then, you know, usually the rest of the people's hands go up, which means that most people less than, you know, most people believe there's less than a 5% chance of them making a million dollars in the next year. Most people think there's a 0% chance of them making a million dollars in the next year. Most people think there's a 0% chance of them making a million dollars in the next year. And then I say this, okay, the goal was, can you make a million dollars legally in the next 12 months? Now I'm going to ask you this question. What's the percentage chance of you making a million dollars in the next 12 months. And if you don't, everybody

Starting point is 00:05:27 that you love dies. And now write down that number on a piece of paper. And then what I say is this, raise your hand if that number is above 90%. Every single person's hand goes up. Every single person's hand goes up. Raise your, keep your hand up if it's 91%, 92%, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100. Most people's hands, 99% of people's hands say that in the next 12 months, they will make $1 million legally if everybody that they love's life is on the line. Now, what's the difference between those two situations? The goal is exactly the same. The timeframe is exactly the line. Now, what's the difference between those two situations? The goal is exactly the same. The timeframe is exactly the same. The only thing that has changed is the why behind the goal. Now, most people say, Rob, how do I stop procrastinating towards my goals? I want to be

Starting point is 00:06:21 successful. How do I stop procrastinating? How do you stop procrastinating? Is you give a damn about your actual goal. Because if you had your entire family's life on the line, you wouldn't procrastinate. You wouldn't sleep in. You wouldn't second guess yourself. You wouldn't give a damn if you don't believe in yourself. You wouldn't care. You would take action anyways because the why behind the goal is stronger than anything else. So what I want you to think about is this. In a group of 200 people, let's say, they all went from 0% chance to 100% chance. The only thing that changed is why they want to hit that goal. So what is your goal that you have over the next year? Whenever you make your New Year's resolutions, what's your goal going to be for your New Year's resolution? It's great to have

Starting point is 00:07:11 your goals and be very clear on your goals, but actually as important as writing your goals down is knowing the why behind the goal. It's the strong emotional attachment to your goal. You have to know the why because if the why is, as my first mentor used to always tell me, if the why behind your goal is strong enough, the how will reveal itself. Which means if your why is strong enough, it doesn't matter. You'll figure out how to make it happen. If your why is strong enough, you'll get rid of all of the things that are holding yourself back. What's crazy about it is everybody went from 0% chance to 100% chance by literally just one tiny

Starting point is 00:07:51 exercise, which shows you that the only thing that's holding them back from making a million dollars is themselves. They are placing a glass ceiling on themselves and saying, no, I can't get above this. No, I can't get above. No, I can't get above this. But when it actually matters and comes down to it, they would get it done. They would stop procrastinating. They would stop sleeping in. They wouldn't care if they don't believe in themselves. They would do what needs to be done because they care enough about it. So as I said, when I first started this episode, you know, it could be used to make a million dollars, but this could also be used to create the perfect relationship. This could be used to create the perfect family, to be the perfect parent, to find the most joy in your life, to find this inner peace that you've been searching for

Starting point is 00:08:36 forever. Because if you care enough, there's no such thing as excuses that will hold you back anymore. The limits that we have are only limits that we place on ourselves. You have to realize that there's no external force that's putting limits on you. It doesn't matter where you grew up. It doesn't matter what color your skin is. It doesn't matter what your sexual preference is. It doesn't matter what your parents used to say to you. It doesn't matter who the freaking president is. It doesn't matter what the government's doing. If your why is strong enough, you will figure out a way to hit whatever goal it is that you want to hit. So that's what I got for you for today's episode. If you love this episode, please share it with someone that you know and love. And if you are interested in
