The School of Greatness - 585 Think Like a Billionaire with Dean Graziosi

Starting point is 00:00:00 This is 5-Minute Friday! Welcome everyone back to another inspirational interview on the School of Greatness podcast. We've got Dean Graziosi in the house. And most of you know of him as someone who has been on TV almost every single day for the last 15 years. He did a number of educational interviews and infomercials teaching real estate for over 15 years on TV and it's been amazing to hear about his results. Amazing to hear about his results. How'd you get to be a billionaire?

Starting point is 00:00:52 I think that's the wrong question when you see somebody successful. I think it's more of like asking them either what their why was or how they overcame obstacles or how they persevered. So I think, and I don't think it's about our it's about the story it's just i think so many people give up on the five yard line i think i think so many of you are just there and you think it's so much heavier when you start playing at a higher level there's not a lot of competition and it's not doing i'm not doing much different i'm just being honest i'm not doing much different now than i did to start my collision shop and start my auto sales i'm doing the same thing just on a bigger scale i still have to overcome. I still have to get out of bed.

Starting point is 00:01:28 I still am stressed some days. And there's some days I question myself. There's some days I make bad decisions and it's just how you get over them, how you handle it and how you go forward is, is everything. How do you be the observer of your thoughts? And that's something. So how do you? Yeah, and that's something I would, I would, the only reason I say this is because I've been obsessed with it for the last three years because I want to be the observer of thoughts immediately. And I'm not there yet.

Starting point is 00:01:56 I want it to trigger because when you're having a bad day, an angst day, a stressful day, you feel off or overwhelmed. Most of the time, it's just the thoughts we're having in that particular day. And when you can look back and view those thoughts, you can make a decision to throw them out or not let that spin you up or feel it for 10 minutes and then throw it out. But when you leave them there, they just linger. And the more I've become aware of my

Starting point is 00:02:21 thoughts, you know, what thoughts are clouding your judgment in a marriage or in a relationship or in your partnership or trying to get a raise or taking your life to another level, whatever it is in your life. Most of the time, it's those thoughts that are messing with us. And if you can, you can observe them, you can adjust them. It's not the objects. It's the things that we get to experience. So you can't buy your way. I had a lot of pain as a kid, which we all did. And I, I know I thought for a time in my life that money would fix that. And there's nothing more than the experience. My daughter's on her first trip with me as a business trip. This will last, this is worth millions to me. I'd give up all my books to have that. So it's the,

Starting point is 00:02:58 it's the moments and the experience, not the things. Success is easier than people think. Like I, I think I, like there's a lot of days I'm like, man, when's everybody going to figure out I'm not that smart. I'm just being honest. I literally, for years I would say, people are going to figure I'm not that smart. I'm just enthusiastic. And, and, you know, and I have the momentum. And, and so I would say that that truth is don't be over-prepared, be overly enthusiastic and committed. And I would say last is that I found a way to let thoughts be things, not who I am. If thoughts can be automatically a thing but not who I am in my soul, then I lived a good life.
