So if you would go give a rating review, it helps tremendously. And the crazy thing is I can see how many tens of thousands of people who listen to every single episode that I put up. But if you go to look, I only have like 600 reviews.

And 600 reviews is great, but there's tens of thousands of people that have never given a review to the podcast, but they listen every single day. So if you would do me a favor out of the kindness of your own heart, take 10 seconds today, give a rating review to the podcast. It definitely absolutely helps with the organic growth and being found by other people because it shows iTunes that this is a popular podcast and that more people should listen to it. So if you would do that, I would greatly, greatly appreciate it. Okay. So today we're going to be diving into is I'm going to talk about the one thing that we all want. So I've coached tens of thousands of people over the years and, you know, people want success, people want money, people want happiness. But ultimately what I've really found is there's one thing that people are really working towards all of the time.

all of the time. This is what it is. People want freedom. You want freedom. If there's a point in your life where you feel like you're not where you want to be, usually that destination has to do some sort, has some sort of freedom based in it. Freedom to do what you want when you want, where you want, with who you want, right? When, when you say, oh yeah, I want to be rich and successful. That's cool. That's great. And I don't think that that's a bad thing, but we all know deep down inside that money and success will not bring you the happiness that you want. It won't, you know it, you know it deep down inside, but you know that if you didn't have to wake up today and go to your job, you'd probably be happier. If you could stay home and play with

your dog, you'd probably be happier. If you could travel the world with your spouse, you'd probably be happier. If you could take your kids on that vacation you've always wanted to take them on, If you could take your kids on that vacation you've always wanted to take them on, you'd probably be happier, right? What you want is you want the freedom. That's what you really want. You want the freedom to do what you want when you want with who you want. That's really what you want. And that's the thing about it is we all know that with money, we all want to make money.

We all want to make more of it. In most cases, we want to make more of it. We know that once you get over $70,000, and you may not have known this, but once you make over $70,000 per year, they found that people, you know, they make, as they make more, they make 30 to 40 to $50,000, $60,000, their happiness raises just a little bit. But then when they get to $70,000, the average person's happiness does not raise once they get over $70,000. And for each amount, like, you know, for $10,000 that they make over 70,000, their happiness actually lowers. Now, this is not saying, and I don't want you to think that when you make money, you make a lot of money,

you become less happy. There's nothing further from the truth because I know, I know that I've gotten happier as I've made more money. I know a lot of very, very wealthy people that are extremely happy as well. So I'm not trying to say that if you make a lot of money, you're going to be unhappy. Completely false. But what I'm saying to you is that most people think that as they make money, they're going to be, they're going to finally be fulfilled. And I want you to know that money will never fill a hole inside of your soul that you feel is there. What I will tell you is this, is that the reason why we want to make the money is because we want the freedom that we perceive the money will give us, right? If you had $10 million right now, if you're listening to me and you're on the way to work, if you had $10 million in your bank account

right now, you probably wouldn't be heading to work if it's a job that you hate. What would you do? You probably instead would be driving your children to baseball. Instead of driving them to work, maybe you'd be driving them to school, right? I have a coaching client and I remember when we first started working together, he's a one-on-one coaching client. And when we first started working together a couple years ago, he wasn't real connected with his kids. He wasn't taking his kids to school or anything. And now what brings him the most joy, the thing that he's most proud of, is that he takes his children to school every single day. Right?

children to school every single day, right? When you get to a certain amount of financial freedom or if you have your own business and you have the freedom to be able to take your children to school every single day or to be a chaperone every once in a while at some other events, you realize that it makes you happier to be able to do that because you don't have to be restricted by wanting or not even wanting, needing to make money, or needing to show up to your office because things are not going the way that you want them to, or you're not where you want to be. What we want is freedom.

Now, your freedom is different than my freedom, right? My goal of freedom is different than yours, and yours is different than every other listener's. So the question I have for you, and I have a few questions for you, and I want you to jot them down and ponder them, think about them, journal through them. So if you're driving, don't jot these down. Put it on pause. Maybe when you get to your destination, do it. But I have some questions I want you to jot down.

I want you to start thinking about these. First question I have for you is what is your freedom? What's the freedom that you want? Is it freedom from your job to be able to spend more time with your family, your significant other, to travel, to sleep in? I don't know. Whatever it is for you. It's different for everybody, right? Is it freedom to go to all of your children's plays or sporting events and not have to be staying at work late? What is freedom to you? Okay. What is freedom to you? Second question I have for you is what is the number one thing in the way of your

freedom? One thing I talk about with my Mindset University, my group coaching program, but then also my one-on-one clients is I always say, what is the number one thing? I don't want you to give me a list of 74 things that are in the way. I want to know the number one thing. I want to make this as simple as possible for my mindset university and for my one-on-one coach clients. I want to make success as simple as possible. If you can knock over the biggest domino, usually everything is much easier after that. So the question I have for you is what is the number one thing that is in the way of your freedom? This freedom that you put for question for, you know, answer number one thing that is in the way of your freedom? This freedom that you put for question for, you know, answer number one. What's the number one thing that's in the way of your freedom?

And number two, I'm sorry, number three, what do you need to do to get closer to the freedom from answer number one within the next week? What's the number one thing that you need to do in order to get closer to that freedom that you answered in number one? So that's what I got for you. Clarity here is power though, okay? One thing I always talk about with all of my coaching clients is clarity. You need to be extremely clear. Don't just say, oh, I want, you know, I think making more money

would be my freedom. No. If that's the truth for you, how much money? How much money do you need in your bank account? How much money do you spend every single week? How much money do you need to be making from, you know, from passive income, from your career, from your job, all of these things. The more clear that you can get in your answers, the more that it will be easier for you to find them in your everyday life, right? If you set your GPS, don't put in Houston, Texas. Put in the actual address in Houston, Texas, and you'll arrive there. The more clear you get, the more likely that you are to actually hit that goal. So that's what I got for you today.
