0
SPEAKER_00
Now, let s jump into this episode.
0
SPEAKER_01
We ve got to learn how to earn money.
0
SPEAKER_01
And most people don t know how to earn money.
0
SPEAKER_01
Most people think you go to work to earn money.
0
SPEAKER_01
You don t go to work for money.
0
SPEAKER_01
You go to work for satisfaction.
0
SPEAKER_01
So I think we have to get the money straight in our mind.
0
SPEAKER_01
And I don t think most people have it straight.
0
SPEAKER_01
We ve got to understand that money is easy to earn.
0
SPEAKER_01
You want to set up multiple sources of income.
0
SPEAKER_00
Welcome to the School of Greatness.
0
SPEAKER_00
My name is Lewis Howes, a former pro athlete turned lifestyle entrepreneur.
0
SPEAKER_00
And each week we bring you an inspiring person or message to help you discover how to unlock your inner greatness.
0
SPEAKER_00
Thanks for spending some time with me today.
0
SPEAKER_00
Now let the class begin.
0
SPEAKER_00
Welcome to this special masterclass.
0
SPEAKER_00
We ve brought some of the top experts in the world to help you unlock the power of your life through this specific theme today.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s going to be powerful, so let s go ahead and dive in.
0
SPEAKER_00
If someone came to you and
0
SPEAKER_00
has struggled with money their entire life, whether they re in their early twenties or they re in their forties or fifties.
0
SPEAKER_00
And they asked you, Bob, what do I need to do to make my first million dollars?
0
SPEAKER_00
What would you say are the most important things they should think and act on next?
0
SPEAKER_01
Well, first of all, they got to believe that they can run the million dollars.
0
SPEAKER_01
They got to develop a belief system.
0
SPEAKER_01
Our belief system is based upon our evaluation of something.
0
SPEAKER_01
And frequently, if we reevaluate the situation, our belief about it will change.
0
SPEAKER_01
We ve got to understand that money is easy to earn.
0
SPEAKER_01
I work with our sales staff all the time, helping them learn how to earn more money.
0
SPEAKER_01
I work with members of our staff, different members of our staff, helping them develop the desire to earn more money, and then I show them how they can do it.
0
SPEAKER_00
How do we believe if we ve never seen evidence before or gotten results before of earning it?
0
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, it s through the repetition of it, through the repetition of writing it and believing it.
0
SPEAKER_01
I had an affirmation that I used for years, still use it.
0
SPEAKER_01
I m so happy and grateful now that money comes to me in increasing quantities through multiple sources on a continuous basis.
0
SPEAKER_01
I am so happy and grateful now that money comes to me in increasing quantities through multiple sources on a continuous basis.
0
SPEAKER_01
And I just keep repeating that like a mantra.
0
SPEAKER_01
And you write out, you know, I m so happy and grateful now that I have my possession of a million dollars.
0
SPEAKER_01
And that s where you started out intellectually.
0
SPEAKER_01
Then you get emotionally involved.
0
SPEAKER_01
And if you keep doing that, ultimately you re going to attract the money.
0
SPEAKER_01
And you ve got to ask,
0
SPEAKER_01
How can money be earned?
0
SPEAKER_01
Money can be earned in all kinds of different ways.
0
SPEAKER_01
We have a company, MSI Connect.
0
SPEAKER_01
It s a pet of mine, not my partner s.
0
SPEAKER_01
I don t think she s too in love with it.
0
SPEAKER_01
But I think it s a neat company.
0
SPEAKER_01
MSI is Multiple Source of Income Connect.
0
SPEAKER_01
And there s a lot of people there and they connect with each other.
0
SPEAKER_01
And they set up joint ventures with each other.
0
SPEAKER_01
They set up affiliate things with each other.
0
SPEAKER_01
You can buy different things there.
0
SPEAKER_01
People sell stuff there.
0
SPEAKER_01
They study money there.
0
SPEAKER_01
You ve got to get into an environment where money is talked about, where it s understood.
0
SPEAKER_00
You know, it s interesting you say that because for years, I have studied money at different levels.
0
SPEAKER_00
And those levels of studying have gotten me to those results.
0
SPEAKER_00
But I ve never been able to really, you know, but there s always a cap and you ve got to learn something new in order to break through that cap into a new level.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I ve never really understood the stock market.
0
SPEAKER_00
I ve always just,
0
SPEAKER_00
invested in certain things and allowed them to just work on their own.
0
SPEAKER_00
But I ve never actually taken full ownership of learning it myself.
0
SPEAKER_00
I ve always had a financial advisor and things like that.
0
SPEAKER_00
And now I said, you know what?
0
SPEAKER_00
I just want to understand the stock market.
0
SPEAKER_00
I want to learn it because I don t know.
0
SPEAKER_00
I m still uneducated.
0
SPEAKER_00
I don t even know how to buy a stock.
0
SPEAKER_00
I bought my first stock like a few months ago myself.
0
SPEAKER_00
I ve invested in stocks and index funds, but I ve actually learned how to do it myself.
0
SPEAKER_00
I was like, I need to find the best people that are doing this and learn from them and have conversations with them.
0
SPEAKER_00
And it s been amazing in a short amount of time by surrounding myself with people that are doing at an astronomical level, just by having a couple conversations, taking the risk and doing it myself and trying it and learn and fumbling around having no clue what I m doing.
0
SPEAKER_00
I m already seeing growth in a couple of months.
0
SPEAKER_00
But if I didn t have the awareness to ask those questions and surround myself with that knowledge and then apply it and continue to learn from it, I d still be stuck to where I was before.
0
SPEAKER_00
And so I think that s what we need to, I love the way you talk about the environment, about constantly being curious, asking these questions and having the conversations because it doesn t matter how successful we are, we ll be stuck to a level of our past knowing until we break through and find a new knowing.
0
SPEAKER_00
I m curious, for those who,
0
SPEAKER_00
want to learn the millionaire morning routine.
0
SPEAKER_00
They want to master this.
0
SPEAKER_00
They want to learn what do those, uh, millionaires and billionaires do with their morning routine.
0
SPEAKER_00
You ve already shared a few things that you do.
0
SPEAKER_00
What would it look like if you had 90 minutes in the morning to set yourself up to reprogram your, uh, money mindset?
0
SPEAKER_01
Well, I don t think it would take you 90 minutes.
0
SPEAKER_01
Um, you could spend, um, Oh God, nine minutes.
0
SPEAKER_01
If you just write down, write it, write this down right now.
0
SPEAKER_01
I am so happy and grateful.
0
SPEAKER_01
I am so happy and grateful now that I have multiple sources of income.
0
SPEAKER_01
I am so happy and grateful now that I have multiple sources of income.
0
SPEAKER_01
You know, if you write that out every day for the next 30, 60 days, you re going to become very, very aware of having multiple sources of income.
0
SPEAKER_01
Wealthy people all have multiple sources.
0
SPEAKER_01
They don t have one or two.
0
SPEAKER_01
They have a whole bunch of them.
0
SPEAKER_01
I don t know how many sources of income I ve got.
0
SPEAKER_01
I m not even interested in figuring it out because somebody else looks after that.
0
SPEAKER_01
I don t look after it.
0
SPEAKER_01
But I do know that you can do that.
0
SPEAKER_01
That s what Keith did down in New Orleans.
0
SPEAKER_01
God, he just, his life changed so dramatically.
0
SPEAKER_01
And I ll show you different things you can do because anyone can.
0
SPEAKER_01
You want to set up multiple sources of income.
0
SPEAKER_01
Do you know, I was flying on a plane to KL.
0
SPEAKER_01
I used to fly from Toronto to KL once a month and back.
0
SPEAKER_01
It s 25 hours near one way.
0
SPEAKER_00
Wow.
0
SPEAKER_01
When I m in the air, I either work with names, words, or numbers.
0
SPEAKER_01
And I wrote down one with six zeros.
0
SPEAKER_01
And I thought, what is the big deal about a million?
0
SPEAKER_01
You know, you often hear people say, what would you do if you had a million, if you won a million?
0
SPEAKER_01
And I get thinking about it.
0
SPEAKER_01
And I played with that on the plane for quite a while, and it dawned on me they do not have one source of income.
0
SPEAKER_01
They don t have a job.
0
SPEAKER_01
Now, some people have a job, earn a million dollars, but that s the unusual one.
0
SPEAKER_01
And then I got playing with it further, and I broke it down.
0
SPEAKER_01
They d have more than one, and then I got it multiple, and then MSI.
0
SPEAKER_01
Well, then I got thinking.
0
SPEAKER_01
we should run a seminar, teach people, turn a million dollars for setting up multiple sources of income.
0
SPEAKER_01
And when I got off the plane, I phoned Mark Victor Hansen down in Newport Beach.
0
SPEAKER_01
I was in KL.
1
SPEAKER_00
I woke him up in the middle of the night, and I got talking, he says, great idea.
1
SPEAKER_00
So we started the Million Dollar Forum, and he got involved, and Bernie Dorman, who just passed away, and Jack Canfield, Lee Poulos.
1
SPEAKER_00
In fact, that s where the Chicken Soup for the Soul books came from, from that particular seminar.
1
SPEAKER_00
And we were teaching people to set up multiple sources of income.
1
SPEAKER_00
Well, they earned many millions from that, but that s where that started.
1
SPEAKER_00
You are in a beautiful position to set up all kinds of sources of income.
1
SPEAKER_00
So when you think of wealth, you might only earn $10,000 or $15,000 from one source.
1
SPEAKER_00
You might earn $200,000 or $300,000 from another.
1
SPEAKER_00
But you have a lot of them.
1
SPEAKER_00
And that s where you ll earn wealth.
1
SPEAKER_00
Like, I don t invest in the stock market.
1
SPEAKER_00
My wife s have bought stocks.
1
SPEAKER_00
Sandy buys stocks, I think.
1
SPEAKER_00
I just don t pay attention to it.
1
SPEAKER_00
It doesn t interest me.
1
SPEAKER_00
I d rather earn it by thinking, putting an idea to work, than let the stock market do for me.
1
SPEAKER_00
That doesn t excite me.
1
SPEAKER_00
I d rather sit here and think.
1
SPEAKER_00
If I sat here for another hour after we get off, I could think of a way of creating a source of income.
1
SPEAKER_00
And it would be a good one because they re all good, very creative.
1
SPEAKER_00
My mind is, you know, conditional on that level.
1
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_01
What do you think are three skills everyone should learn in order to generate more wealth and generate more income for themselves or just to improve the quality of their life in general?
1
SPEAKER_01
What are those three skills you wish everyone could master?
1
SPEAKER_00
You ve got to be fairly creative.
1
SPEAKER_00
You ve got to have a free flow of energy.
1
SPEAKER_00
Energy has to flow through.
1
SPEAKER_00
You can t be stubborn.
1
SPEAKER_00
You can t lock in on something and not want to let go of it.
1
SPEAKER_00
You ve got to have a free flow.
1
SPEAKER_00
You ve got to be interested in ideas, new ideas.
1
SPEAKER_00
You were talking about not wanting to watch television.
1
SPEAKER_00
I don t watch much.
1
SPEAKER_00
I love watching Shark Tank, though.
1
SPEAKER_01
Yes, great.
1
SPEAKER_01
And I like watching Kevin O Leary yesterday.
1
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, he s great.
1
SPEAKER_00
Well, well, they were you worked with him yesterday, did you say?
1
SPEAKER_01
I just had Kevin O Leary on yesterday.
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_00
Well, you see now that guy s mind, it s amazing the way it works.
1
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_00
But you watch all of them, all those sharks, their mind.
1
SPEAKER_00
works like a rocket, you know?
1
SPEAKER_00
And they break things down.
1
SPEAKER_00
Somebody will say something, they break all kinds of things down from what the one thing the person will say.
1
SPEAKER_00
They are very, very sharp, every one of them.
1
SPEAKER_00
And Kevin is certainly one of the sharp ones on there, but they all are, you know.
1
SPEAKER_00
I don t know if there s one any sharper than the other, but they ve got a very free flow of ideas.
1
SPEAKER_01
So flow of energy, free flow, interested in new ideas.
1
SPEAKER_00
What s another, I think you have to be service oriented.
1
SPEAKER_00
You really have to be thinking of how to do things for people, how to help people because money is a reward received for service rendered.
1
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_01
It s hard to, uh, it s hard to help others when you re always consumed with the negativity in your own life mentality.
1
SPEAKER_00
That s why poor people remain poor.
1
SPEAKER_00
They re so locked into their problems.
1
SPEAKER_00
But if you, listen, if a person is like that, let s suppose they re really locked in on problems, but they hear what I ve just said.
1
SPEAKER_00
They really got to think of serving others.
1
SPEAKER_00
How can I serve others?
1
SPEAKER_00
How can I be of greater service?
1
SPEAKER_00
You re going to figure it out.
1
SPEAKER_00
Discipline yourself for let s say 30, 60, 90 minutes a day sitting down and thinking of writing down 10 ideas that could be of service to other people.
1
SPEAKER_00
And you probably won t get very good ones for the first little while, but if you keep doing it, they ll keep coming.
1
SPEAKER_01
What s the thing that you wish you would have started doing sooner?
1
SPEAKER_01
That habitual habit, you know, 10 years ago, 30 years ago, 40 years ago that you just started doing in the last five years that you re like, man, I wish I would have done this as my routine 10, 20, 30 years ago.
1
SPEAKER_00
I wished I had got really good
1
SPEAKER_00
financial guidance and listened to it when I first started.
1
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_01
Did you make some bad choices?
1
SPEAKER_00
I didn t do that.
1
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_00
You see, there s no sin in not knowing how to do something.
1
SPEAKER_00
The sin is in keep doing it wrong.
1
SPEAKER_00
Don t follow people s advice.
1
SPEAKER_00
I think the trick is to go to people that have demonstrated by results, they really know what they re doing.
1
SPEAKER_00
Then do exactly what they tell you.
1
SPEAKER_00
I think I was guilty of that for a long time.
1
SPEAKER_00
I was really guilty because I kept losing.
1
SPEAKER_00
I did nothing right.
1
SPEAKER_00
I couldn t go anywhere, do anything.
1
SPEAKER_00
Then I met a man who gave me Think and Grow Rich, Ray Stanford.
1
SPEAKER_00
He always, I didn t know him well, but he always had money, a lot of money on him.
1
SPEAKER_00
I never had any.
1
SPEAKER_00
I mean, I was always broke.
1
SPEAKER_00
I was unhappy.
1
SPEAKER_00
I had dumb jobs.
1
SPEAKER_00
I was going nowhere.
1
SPEAKER_00
Left school, two months high school.
1
SPEAKER_00
And he said, if you do exactly what I m telling you, is you can have anything you want.
1
SPEAKER_00
Of course, I didn t believe that.
1
SPEAKER_00
I m in debt, you know, nothing was going right.
1
SPEAKER_00
And you could have anything you want.
1
SPEAKER_00
I don t know why, but I listened to him.
1
SPEAKER_00
I think the key was, he said, listen, your way s not working, why don t you try mine?
1
SPEAKER_00
I think that s what got me.
1
SPEAKER_00
I started to do exactly what he said.
1
SPEAKER_00
My income went from 4,000 a year to 14,500 a month in a year.
1
SPEAKER_00
I ve earned millions of dollars.
1
SPEAKER_00
I found earning money is one of the simplest things in the world to do.
1
SPEAKER_01
But if you don t know that, you won t believe that.
1
SPEAKER_01
It s the hardest thing to do, yeah.
1
SPEAKER_00
Most people think it s the hardest.
1
SPEAKER_00
That is because we ve never been taught how to earn money.
1
SPEAKER_00
I was doing a broadcast here a couple of weeks ago, and I just did Q&A, just open Q&A.
1
SPEAKER_00
People anywhere could ask me anything.
1
SPEAKER_00
We had thousands of people in.
1
SPEAKER_00
And there was one person said, I m really stuck, I don t know what to do.
1
SPEAKER_00
What should I do?
1
SPEAKER_00
I said, figure out how to go and help somebody.
1
SPEAKER_00
Stop and think of what you re pretty good at.
1
SPEAKER_00
Go help somebody.
1
SPEAKER_00
Quit looking for somebody to help you.
1
SPEAKER_00
Figure out how to help somebody else.
1
SPEAKER_00
Now I said, that s probably gonna be a difficult thing for you to do because you re probably dominated with the fact that you re stuck right now.
1
SPEAKER_00
Forget that for a moment.
1
SPEAKER_00
Stop and think, how can you go and help somebody?
1
SPEAKER_00
Because, of course, that s the secret to success.
1
SPEAKER_01
It is.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s a secret of earning money.
1
SPEAKER_00
I like the way Ziegler used to put that.
1
SPEAKER_00
Help other people get what they want, they ll always give you what you want.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s so true.
1
SPEAKER_01
How can everyone watching and listening right now get more mentorship from you?
1
SPEAKER_01
What s the program they can be a part of?
1
SPEAKER_01
Where can they listen, follow?
1
SPEAKER_00
Because people need to listen to you more.
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, we ve got all kinds of programs, Louis.
1
SPEAKER_00
First of all, if they go on our site, go to proctorgallagher.com, they can download the book, You Were Born Rich.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s free, we ll give it away.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I wrote that in 1984.
1
SPEAKER_00
What I did, I sat down and I broke down into parts how I d got to where I was then.
1
SPEAKER_00
I was doing very well in 1984 and had been for a number of years.
1
SPEAKER_00
And so I broke it all down and I put it in a book.
1
SPEAKER_00
And the book s in many different languages now and there s millions of them out there.
1
SPEAKER_00
We give it away.
1
SPEAKER_00
We have...
1
SPEAKER_00
Six minutes to success.
1
SPEAKER_00
I think it costs about $25 a month or something like that.
1
SPEAKER_00
I ll send you a video every morning, every morning.
1
SPEAKER_00
We have coaching programs.
1
SPEAKER_00
We ve got all kinds of people in our company.
1
SPEAKER_00
We ll do a half hour coaching program for nothing.
1
SPEAKER_00
All a person does is go to proctorgallagher.com and just leave your name and say, I d like to be coached for an hour, half hour.
1
SPEAKER_00
We ll do it for nothing.
1
SPEAKER_00
What people
2
SPEAKER_00
need to realize that there is a simple way out of their dilemma.
2
SPEAKER_00
They don t have to look at a black wall, that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and it s not a train coming at them.
2
SPEAKER_00
They ve got to get the idea that there is a better way, and there s places where you can get help.
2
SPEAKER_00
We give help.
2
SPEAKER_00
That s what our company is all about.
2
SPEAKER_00
We have thousands of people, as I say, in 88 countries.
2
SPEAKER_00
So it doesn t matter where a person is in the world, we can help them.
2
SPEAKER_00
And that s what we re all about.
2
SPEAKER_00
That s all we want to do.
2
SPEAKER_00
That s what my whole life is about.
2
SPEAKER_00
And that s what the people in our company is all about.
2
SPEAKER_01
I think everyone needs to be mentored by you.
2
SPEAKER_01
I want to, I want to find a way where I can call you once a month and once every couple of months, Bob, and just chat on the phone.
2
SPEAKER_00
I will have my phone number.
2
SPEAKER_00
You call me anytime you want.
2
SPEAKER_00
I appreciate it.
2
SPEAKER_00
I will see you get my phone.
2
SPEAKER_00
I ll give you my cell number and you can call me anytime you want.
2
SPEAKER_00
Listen, I ve got a lot of respect for what you re doing.
2
SPEAKER_00
Thank you.
2
SPEAKER_00
And, um,
2
SPEAKER_00
I think the audience should know you re one of the biggest in the game.
2
SPEAKER_00
You re one of the biggest names out there.
2
SPEAKER_00
And to be on your program is quite an honor.
2
SPEAKER_00
I was humbled that you even wanted me to be on in the first place.
2
SPEAKER_00
But you do really good work.
2
SPEAKER_00
And I would encourage everybody that comes into your show, they get other people to come on.
2
SPEAKER_00
You ve got to lead more people to this kind of information.
2
SPEAKER_00
Because you re not hearing it every day.
2
SPEAKER_00
And you re not hearing it at all on television anymore.
2
SPEAKER_00
And you re not getting it in a newspaper.
2
SPEAKER_00
But this good news is out there.
2
SPEAKER_00
And there is a better way.
2
SPEAKER_00
I don t care how desperate things look, it can get better.
2
SPEAKER_00
Ralph Waldo Trine wrote a great book, In Tune with the Infinite.
2
SPEAKER_00
And in that book, he said, nothing is good or bad, except our thinking makes it so.
2
SPEAKER_00
Everything just is.
2
SPEAKER_00
We make it good or bad through our thinking.
2
SPEAKER_00
I don t care what it is.
2
SPEAKER_00
We make it good or bad through our thinking.
2
SPEAKER_00
Michael Beckwith, who s a dear friend and very wise individual, he said something interesting that we could apply to this, what s going on in our world today.
2
SPEAKER_00
He said, when anything happens, there s a three-step approach to it.
2
SPEAKER_00
Number one,
2
SPEAKER_00
I don t care what happens to you.
2
SPEAKER_00
It is what it is, accept it.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s either gonna control you or you re gonna control it.
2
SPEAKER_00
Number two, harvest the good.
2
SPEAKER_00
There s good in everything.
2
SPEAKER_00
I love the term harvest the good.
2
SPEAKER_00
You see a farmer out there harvesting the good.
2
SPEAKER_00
And number three, forgive all the rest.
2
SPEAKER_00
It is what it is, accept it.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s gonna control you or you ll control it.
2
SPEAKER_00
Harvest the good and forgive all the rest.
2
SPEAKER_00
And I think that s what we gotta start doing.
2
SPEAKER_00
We gotta get more into this.
2
SPEAKER_00
We gotta lead other people into it, help other people understand it.
2
SPEAKER_00
There is a way.
2
SPEAKER_00
I always say when a guy that was losing as badly as I was, and I was really losing, when they can turn out and win.
2
SPEAKER_00
And at 86, I ve got as much energy as most people at 36.
2
SPEAKER_00
And no intentions of slowing down.
2
SPEAKER_00
I mean, why would I want to do that?
2
SPEAKER_00
And if I can win, anybody can win.
2
SPEAKER_00
I think that s why I m effective at what I do, because I came from such a horrible place and started winning.
2
SPEAKER_00
Life is good.
2
SPEAKER_00
And I think it s a great trip, and we should enjoy every step of it.
2
SPEAKER_00
But we only do that when we learn to use our higher faculties.
2
SPEAKER_00
I m going to run through them once more.
2
SPEAKER_00
Yes, please.
2
SPEAKER_00
Perception, the will, reason, imagination, memory, and intuition.
2
SPEAKER_00
Your perception is how you see things.
2
SPEAKER_00
I love the way, I m drawing a blank in his name now, a good friend, he used to say, when you change the way you look at something,
2
SPEAKER_00
what you look at changes.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s true.
2
SPEAKER_00
The will, it s the ability to hold one idea on the screen of the mind to the exclusion of all outside distractions.
2
SPEAKER_00
Memory, there s no such thing as a bad memory.
2
SPEAKER_00
Everybody s got a perfect memory.
2
SPEAKER_00
Reason, it s what gives you the ability to think.
2
SPEAKER_00
That enables you to just pluck stuff out of the ether, spirit, and turn it into a thought.
2
SPEAKER_00
Imagination.
2
SPEAKER_00
Anything you can hold in your head, you can hold in your hand.
2
SPEAKER_00
If you can see it in here, you can turn it into results.
2
SPEAKER_00
What we re doing right now is nothing but the expression of somebody s imagination.
2
SPEAKER_00
The fact we re communicating with the thousands of people right now, the way we are, it s a manifestation of somebody s imagination.
2
SPEAKER_00
And the intuition, intuition is that higher faculty that picks up energy and reads it.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s a psychic ability, it s phenomenal.
2
SPEAKER_00
I have a very highly tuned in intuitive factor, not by accident, by design, I developed it.
2
SPEAKER_00
Anybody can.
2
SPEAKER_00
You pick up the vibration, get your intuition.
2
SPEAKER_00
Intuition never lies, it s spirit talking to you.
2
SPEAKER_00
Although you cannot change conditions or circumstance, you don t have to let them control you.
2
SPEAKER_00
We can t control what s going on outside, but we can control what s going on inside.
2
SPEAKER_00
You know, and unfortunately, I don t think many of us have been raised to really understand that.
2
SPEAKER_00
And it s a lack of understanding that s causing all our problems.
2
SPEAKER_01
You know?
2
SPEAKER_01
But how, I mean, how can you say that to someone who s like, well, I don t feel like I have control on the inside when it seems like everything has power over me.
2
SPEAKER_01
What s something that could start to shift?
2
SPEAKER_00
You see, the truth is for that person, that would be true, that they re being controlled by outside.
2
SPEAKER_00
We, look at it this way.
2
SPEAKER_00
We are the only creature on the planet that s totally disoriented in our environment.
2
SPEAKER_00
All the little squirrels, the birds, all the animals are completely at home in their environment.
2
SPEAKER_00
They blend in.
2
SPEAKER_00
You and I are totally disoriented in our environment.
2
SPEAKER_00
We ve been given the mental faculties to create our own environment.
2
SPEAKER_00
However, we go right through school and we ve never learned that.
2
SPEAKER_00
We have higher faculties and the average person has no knowledge of how to operate with them, how to develop them.
2
SPEAKER_00
We have perception, the will, reason, imagination, memory, and intuition.
2
SPEAKER_00
Now, those mental faculties, they re not just words, they re actually mental faculties that we can use to take control over our world and to create the environment that we want.
2
SPEAKER_00
But unfortunately, we grow up, we don t know that.
2
SPEAKER_00
We ve been raised to live through by what we see, hear, smell, taste, and touch, our physical senses.
2
SPEAKER_00
And we ve been raised to be controlled by what s going on outside.
2
SPEAKER_00
As little kids, will you listen to what I m telling you?
2
SPEAKER_00
Will you look at this?
2
SPEAKER_00
And so it s all outside.
2
SPEAKER_00
We get our report card and that tells us what kind of student we are.
2
SPEAKER_00
but it really tells us where our mind was at for a few minutes three weeks ago.
2
SPEAKER_00
Got nothing to do with who we are.
2
SPEAKER_00
So I think we re raised in ignorance, actually.
2
SPEAKER_00
There s a very small percentage of the population that have a reasonably clear understanding of who they are and what they re capable of doing, but the ones that do are in the minority.
2
SPEAKER_00
Our whole company has been dedicated to teaching that to people for the last 50-some years.
2
SPEAKER_01
Powerful.
2
SPEAKER_01
You talked about the five faculty, the five mental faculties, and I even touched on this briefly in our previous interview, but I m curious.
2
SPEAKER_01
I have a new question for you.
2
SPEAKER_01
Which of the faculties typically is the hardest to, I guess, master or become efficient in, to use to your advantage in a positive way, and which is the one that you feel like hurts us the most when we don t master?
2
SPEAKER_00
I think reason is probably, it s the one that s spoken about by almost all the great leaders.
2
SPEAKER_00
They ve all been completely unanimous agreement that we become what we think about.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s our reasoning factor that enables us to think.
2
SPEAKER_00
Ford says thinking s the hardest work there is, which is a probable reason so few people engage in it.
2
SPEAKER_00
Dr. Ken McFarland,
2
SPEAKER_00
who s gone for a long time now, but he was a great educator down in Kentucky.
2
SPEAKER_00
He one time said 2% of the people think, 3% think they think, and 95% would actually rather die than think.
2
SPEAKER_00
Now, you know, that sounds cute, but it s true.
3
SPEAKER_00
If you stop and listen to what most people are saying, it s going to be fairly obvious they re not thinking.
3
SPEAKER_00
If you stand back and watch what most people are doing, it s fairly obvious they re not thinking.
3
SPEAKER_00
But they would never say or do what they re doing.
3
SPEAKER_00
Most people today have their television on the news and they re just soaking up all the stuff
3
SPEAKER_00
that s going on that s dominating the media right now.
3
SPEAKER_00
So they ve become a play thing for what s going on outside.
3
SPEAKER_00
And that s why they re living in such fear.
3
SPEAKER_01
By consuming the media of whether it s true or accurate or not true, you re being manipulated in a sense.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s not a matter of whether it s true or not.
3
SPEAKER_00
Is this how you want to spend your life, just listening to that?
3
SPEAKER_00
And that doesn t mean you should deny it.
3
SPEAKER_00
It doesn t mean that you should say, well, that s all false.
3
SPEAKER_00
I don t know whether it s true or false.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s just bad news.
3
SPEAKER_00
I don t want to be involved in it.
3
SPEAKER_00
Am I aware that it s there?
3
SPEAKER_00
Well, you d almost have to be dead not to be aware that it s there.
3
SPEAKER_00
But that doesn t mean you have to spend your time thinking on that.
3
SPEAKER_00
I would much rather activate some of my creative faculties and do something that s constructive.
3
SPEAKER_01
In a time under crisis and worry and fear for a lot of people, what should we be thinking about?
3
SPEAKER_01
How should we be using our imagination in different ways as opposed to fixating on the bad news?
3
SPEAKER_00
Well, I think a good idea right now would be spend some time thinking about how are we going to adapt when this is gone?
3
SPEAKER_00
Because we re going to live in a different world.
3
SPEAKER_00
We re not going to be in the same world when this is all blown over than we re in right now.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s going to be quite different.
3
SPEAKER_00
People are not going to be rushing out to big events where there s a lot of people.
3
SPEAKER_00
They re not going to be rushing to restaurants.
3
SPEAKER_00
I think they re going to be very careful about what they do, where they think, and where they re going.
3
SPEAKER_00
I was listening to Sinek and he said, if you re a public speaker, don t look for a stage for a little while because you re not gonna have one.
3
SPEAKER_00
Now, this also presents great opportunities.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s for us, for my company, we re going online, you know, full speed ahead.
3
SPEAKER_00
Now, fortunately we built the studio four or five years ago, so.
3
SPEAKER_00
You re prepared.
3
SPEAKER_00
We re equipped and we re ready.
3
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_00
We can, we can broadcast.
3
SPEAKER_00
We were, we had a training class going in here just last week with about 300 of our consultants from all over the world.
3
SPEAKER_00
We had a three-day training program for them, and it was very effective.
3
SPEAKER_00
You didn t have to come together.
3
SPEAKER_00
We did it from right here.
3
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_01
I mean, you re known for doing these powerful transformational workshops in person.
3
SPEAKER_01
So for someone, I mean, it s very inspiring for me, for someone at your age, where it would be the excuse of most people your age to say, well, I don t understand this technology thing.
3
SPEAKER_01
And I ve been doing this way of business for so long.
3
SPEAKER_01
It s always worked this way.
3
SPEAKER_01
And I m not going to try to reinvent or evolve and pivot and grow in this way.
3
SPEAKER_01
So it s really inspiring to see someone your age with your
3
SPEAKER_01
your level of experience to say, you know what?
3
SPEAKER_01
I m embracing it.
3
SPEAKER_01
Maybe I don t like it.
3
SPEAKER_01
Maybe you do like it, but you re embracing it and making the most of it as opposed to resisting.
3
SPEAKER_01
Because what happens when we start to resist in our life?
3
SPEAKER_01
What truly happens?
3
SPEAKER_00
Well, we resist it.
3
SPEAKER_00
We create it in our mind.
3
SPEAKER_00
That s all we think about.
3
SPEAKER_00
You see, I guess my age really has nothing to do with it, but I formed that attitude a long time ago.
3
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_00
I didn t like the idea that when you ve lived for so long, you ve got to cut out, you ve got to stop.
3
SPEAKER_00
I thought, I don t like that idea at all.
3
SPEAKER_00
First of all, I think we re, I believe we re here to do God s work.
3
SPEAKER_00
God s work is creation, expansion, fuller expression, greater goodness.
3
SPEAKER_00
And if we re going to do that, we re going to be working at it
3
SPEAKER_00
All the time we re here on this planet.
3
SPEAKER_00
We never stop.
3
SPEAKER_00
So age should have no bearing on it.
3
SPEAKER_00
I had a couple of people ask me when we started to build this place, we put a couple of million dollars into this and somebody said, how old are you?
3
SPEAKER_00
And I think I was probably 83 when they started to break ground.
3
SPEAKER_00
They said, you re 83 and you re gonna spend $2 million building a studio?
3
SPEAKER_00
And I said, yeah, like, why not?
3
SPEAKER_00
I mean, you see, we let things that really have no concern, we let them bother us, we let them control us.
3
SPEAKER_00
Age is a dumb thing to let control you.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s our thinking that controls everything.
3
SPEAKER_00
That s the one point every great leader of the read on.
3
SPEAKER_00
We become what we think about.
3
SPEAKER_00
Well, what s a person thinking?
3
SPEAKER_00
I m thinking if I get old, I got to stop.
3
SPEAKER_00
Well, then you ll stop.
3
SPEAKER_00
Or I m thinking, well,
3
SPEAKER_00
If I ve been here a long time, I ve got a lot of experience.
3
SPEAKER_00
I want to utilize that experience to keep me going as long as I am here.
3
SPEAKER_00
I mean, anybody had their head screwed on right a few years ago would know that this thing is going to take over.
3
SPEAKER_00
And if we don t learn how to use it, we re toast.
3
SPEAKER_00
So, you know, I was doing seminars on my iPad because I can run it right onto a,
3
SPEAKER_00
monitor and out through to the universe.
3
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_01
What should we be thinking about the most right now, in your mind?
3
SPEAKER_00
I think we should be thinking about our future.
3
SPEAKER_00
I think we should be thinking about the greatness, like it s the school of greatness.
3
SPEAKER_00
I think we ought to be thinking about the greatness that we ve locked up within us and bring it to the surface.
3
SPEAKER_00
Everyone has deep reservoirs of talent and ability within them.
3
SPEAKER_00
And they can bring it to the surface to accomplish anything they want.
3
SPEAKER_00
Now to sit in fear and wonder what s going to happen, that is a dumb waste of your talent and your time.
3
SPEAKER_00
And unfortunately, that s what most of the media is promoting right now.
3
SPEAKER_00
To believe in fear is to believe in something you can t see.
3
SPEAKER_00
To believe in faith is to believe in something you can t see.
3
SPEAKER_00
Well, if you have a choice, I think I d choose faith over fear.
3
SPEAKER_00
Absolutely.
3
SPEAKER_00
I think I believe where I can really see something happen.
3
SPEAKER_00
I believe we re going to have a phenomenal year in our company.
3
SPEAKER_00
Wow.
3
SPEAKER_00
In fact, I have a business partner, Sandy Gallagher, and a very bright lady, was a securities attorney prior to joining us.
3
SPEAKER_00
She ran a program this morning for our entire company.
3
SPEAKER_00
We have about 70 people in the company.
3
SPEAKER_00
She was teaching masterminding to them all and saying how this is important, that every one of us get involved in this, that we learn the basics of masterminding, that Napoleon Hill,
3
SPEAKER_00
brought to the world, let s say, way back in the 30s.
3
SPEAKER_00
Now, I think that s what we should be teaching people.
3
SPEAKER_00
Sandy was on the right track there.
3
SPEAKER_00
So I think we ought to be thinking about what we re going to build.
3
SPEAKER_00
How big are we going to do it?
3
SPEAKER_00
Where are we going to do it?
3
SPEAKER_00
When are we going to start?
3
SPEAKER_00
Our goals have not changed.
3
SPEAKER_00
They re very big.
3
SPEAKER_00
They re very ambitious.
3
SPEAKER_00
In The Science of Getting Rich, in Chapter 7, Wallace D. Wattles wrote the chapter on gratitude, and then he said, the entire process of mental adjustment and atonement can be summed up in one word, gratitude.
3
SPEAKER_00
The entire process of mental adjustment, if you re troubled,
3
SPEAKER_00
And it could go wrong, but you re troubled.
3
SPEAKER_00
You ve got a big problem you re just not quite sure how to solve and it s bothering you.
3
SPEAKER_00
Might be something personal or it could be business.
3
SPEAKER_00
Whenever you feel yourself troubled, that s a mental problem.
3
SPEAKER_00
The entire process of mental adjustment, you need a mental adjustment.
3
SPEAKER_00
Sit down, write out what you re grateful for.
3
SPEAKER_00
You d be amazed what it does to you.
3
SPEAKER_00
The entire process of mental adjustment and atonement can be summed up in one word, gratitude.
3
SPEAKER_00
Gratitude hooks you up to your source of supply.
3
SPEAKER_00
It opens a channel for good to come into your life.
3
SPEAKER_00
You cannot feel bad when you re thinking of what you re grateful for.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s funny, problems just sort of melt, go away.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s like some kind of mental magic.
4
SPEAKER_00
better than magic.
4
SPEAKER_00
There was a creative writer, I got a mental block on the guy s name and I should remember it because it s such a great thing he said.
4
SPEAKER_00
I ve worked around magicians.
4
SPEAKER_00
If I work conventions periodically, they ll have, if there s a magician working at the convention too, they ll get me to work some kind of a trick with them.
4
SPEAKER_00
He s got to tell a trick to somebody.
4
SPEAKER_00
So I m the guy, I ve learned all kinds of how these magnificent tricks work.
4
SPEAKER_00
And he said, when you learn how magic works, it s not magic anymore.
4
SPEAKER_00
And he said, when you learn how your mind works, it s real magic.
4
SPEAKER_00
Ooh.
4
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, that s what I said.
4
SPEAKER_01
So what s the what s another thing that you do to help reprogram your subconscious mind?
4
SPEAKER_00
I consciously think of how I can help people.
4
SPEAKER_00
If I m in between particular tasks that I m working on, I ll think of somebody I can do something for.
4
SPEAKER_00
I m always thinking on how to help somebody else.
4
SPEAKER_00
Emerson said that the law of cause and effect is the law of laws.
4
SPEAKER_00
Whatever you put out comes back.
4
SPEAKER_00
Well, if you go around doing enough good, you don t have to worry about what s going to happen to you.
4
SPEAKER_00
It s going to be good.
4
SPEAKER_00
And that s really pretty well how I spend my life.
4
SPEAKER_01
you know, missteps or challenges, or your mind goes back into a place of, you know, a negative way of thinking.
4
SPEAKER_01
What is the biggest challenge you face with today, even though you ve studied this, even though you put these things into practice, even though you re successful, what is that big challenge that you face, Bob?
4
SPEAKER_00
I get caught up in the minutiae and the noise that s going on around us, you know?
4
SPEAKER_00
The negative news that we hear.
4
SPEAKER_00
I ll get caught up in it every now and then.
4
SPEAKER_00
And I know it s stupid and I shouldn t.
4
SPEAKER_00
And so when I realize what I m doing, I ll get away from it.
4
SPEAKER_00
And I do it.
4
SPEAKER_00
I ve often mentioned if we just work at getting rid of our bad habits, some of our bad habits, we don t want to get rid of, we enjoy them.
4
SPEAKER_00
But that s really the secret is replace a bad habit with something that s essentially the opposite.
4
SPEAKER_00
And you take a double jump ahead.
4
SPEAKER_00
because you re not going to get rid of the bad one.
4
SPEAKER_00
You re bad at a good one.
4
SPEAKER_00
So, you know.
4
SPEAKER_01
Right, right.
4
SPEAKER_01
I had the chance to interview Rhonda Byrne on the show a few months ago, and I was doing some research beforehand and I hadn t seen an interview of her in over a decade online.
4
SPEAKER_01
And either I was bad at researching or I just she hasn t put herself out there.
4
SPEAKER_01
So I was really excited to have her on.
4
SPEAKER_01
And some of the stuff she was sharing was
4
SPEAKER_01
was amazing and we were talking about you offline and how much she appreciates your message and your work and your contribution to The Secret.
4
SPEAKER_01
I m curious, if you could sum up the law of attraction in one phrase, what is that idea of the law of attraction for people if they re still not sure on it?
4
SPEAKER_00
Well, oddly enough, The Secret, I think, led some people down the wrong path with the law of attraction.
4
SPEAKER_00
in that we didn t take the time or never got into it in depth.
4
SPEAKER_00
The law of attraction is a secondary law.
4
SPEAKER_00
And most people talk about it as the law of attraction.
4
SPEAKER_00
It s a law.
4
SPEAKER_00
Well, it is, but it s a secondary law.
4
SPEAKER_00
And a lot of people are left with the idea, you just think about it, you ll attract it.
4
SPEAKER_00
Well, that is a bunch of nonsense.
4
SPEAKER_00
That s not true at all.
4
SPEAKER_00
You do attract what you think about,
4
SPEAKER_00
Your thought patterns control the vibration you re in.
4
SPEAKER_00
Vibration is a basic law of the universe.
4
SPEAKER_00
The law of vibration decrees everything moves, nothing rests.
4
SPEAKER_00
The walls around you are moving.
4
SPEAKER_00
If you go and look at them through a microscope, you ll see them moving.
4
SPEAKER_00
The body in a coffin is moving.
4
SPEAKER_00
If it wasn t moving, how would it ever change to dust?
4
SPEAKER_00
The law of vibration decrees that everything moves.
4
SPEAKER_00
We literally live in an ocean of motion.
4
SPEAKER_00
Well, your mind and body is in a vibration and that s controlled by your thoughts.
4
SPEAKER_00
You activate cells in your brain, your mind activates cells that sets up a vibration in the mind and body.
4
SPEAKER_00
And the vibration you set up is going to dictate what you attract.
4
SPEAKER_00
If you re troubled and you re in a bad mood, you re going to attract bad stuff too.
4
SPEAKER_00
You re on a negative frequency.
4
SPEAKER_00
So as long as you stay in that bad vibration, you re going to attract some more bad stuff.
4
SPEAKER_00
It s just going to keep coming.
4
SPEAKER_00
And you see it happening all the time to people.
4
SPEAKER_00
Um, it s in the Bible.
4
SPEAKER_01
It s probably like when it s probably like when you re, you know, you re not feeling good and you just want more ice cream or pizza.
4
SPEAKER_01
You want bad things to make you feel good as opposed to, let me have a healthy salad when I m down.
4
SPEAKER_01
You know, it s not what we re thinking.
4
SPEAKER_00
Well, you see, the trick is really to keep yourself feeling good.
4
SPEAKER_00
Feeling is conscious awareness of vibration.
4
SPEAKER_00
The vibration is the basic law.
4
SPEAKER_00
And if you stay feeling good and a good vibration, you re going to attract good stuff.
4
SPEAKER_00
You just magnetize yourself to stuff.
4
SPEAKER_00
That s good.
4
SPEAKER_00
There s a very few people really understand the law of vibration.
4
SPEAKER_00
Everybody is utilizing it every day, all day.
4
SPEAKER_00
You are attracting what you re in harmony with.
4
SPEAKER_00
You always have.
4
SPEAKER_00
Pardon?
4
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
4
SPEAKER_01
And how do we put ourselves in a state of feeling good when there s nothing to feel good about?
4
SPEAKER_01
Well, there s always some people maybe listen there, you know, they re stressed about the world.
4
SPEAKER_01
They re stressed about their job.
4
SPEAKER_01
They re stressed about their health, their family, relationship breakups.
4
SPEAKER_01
How did they change the feeling to feel good when they re in an environment of stress?
4
SPEAKER_00
There s a law called polarity.
4
SPEAKER_00
The law of polarity decrees everything as an opposite.
4
SPEAKER_00
You couldn t have an up without a down, a hot without a cold.
4
SPEAKER_00
You can t have a bad without a good.
4
SPEAKER_00
If you re looking at bad, that tells you there s got to be good.
4
SPEAKER_00
You cannot have bad without good.
4
SPEAKER_00
And if you want to feel good, start looking for what s good.
4
SPEAKER_00
And if you start looking for what s good, you re going to find it.
4
SPEAKER_00
You re going to find whatever you re looking for.
4
SPEAKER_00
And the idea to say, well, you really can t, there s so much bad going on.
4
SPEAKER_00
That attitude is not going to reward you at all.
4
SPEAKER_00
It s going to give you a bad stuff.
4
SPEAKER_00
You ve got to know that there s always something good.
4
SPEAKER_00
You ve got to find it.
4
SPEAKER_01
Why is it so hard for people to see the good when there s so much chaos around them?
4
SPEAKER_00
Because they re so programmed the wrong way.
4
SPEAKER_00
They re really programmed the wrong way.
4
SPEAKER_00
We re programmed for bad news.
4
SPEAKER_00
You don t find a good news news station.
4
SPEAKER_00
You don t have good news.
4
SPEAKER_00
People wouldn t advertise.
4
SPEAKER_00
They wouldn t go there.
4
SPEAKER_00
People are attracted to bad news because they re in a bad vibration themselves.
4
SPEAKER_00
And when they start to understand that and then realize they can control it,
4
SPEAKER_00
and change it, that s when they ll start winning.
4
SPEAKER_00
See, that s where I was.
4
SPEAKER_00
I was in a bad vibration.
4
SPEAKER_00
Everything was bad.
4
SPEAKER_00
There was nothing good.
4
SPEAKER_00
I mean, I just had one hell of a life up till I was 26.
4
SPEAKER_00
There was nothing good about it at all.
4
SPEAKER_00
And when I was 26, I met a guy that got me on this book and he started to give me some effective education and my whole life changed.
4
SPEAKER_00
My income went from 4,000 a year to 175,000 a year in a year.
4
SPEAKER_00
Washing floors.
4
SPEAKER_00
First thing he wanted to know, he wanted me to write my goal on a card.
4
SPEAKER_00
He said, what do you really want?
4
SPEAKER_00
I said, all I want is some money.
4
SPEAKER_00
I figured if I had some money, all my problems would go away.
4
SPEAKER_00
I owed everybody and his brother money.
4
SPEAKER_00
And they re always phoning me, where s the money, where s the money?
4
SPEAKER_00
And I said, God, if I knew where the money was, you wouldn t have to phone me anymore.
4
SPEAKER_00
I d get upset with them for phoning me.
4
SPEAKER_00
And so I said, I want $25,000.
4
SPEAKER_00
If we had taken all the money in the neighborhood where I lived, you wouldn t have found $25,000.
4
SPEAKER_00
I mean, it was an absurd goal.
4
SPEAKER_00
And he said, write it on the card and read it often.
4
SPEAKER_00
And what happened, it s only in retrospect that I became aware of what happened.
4
SPEAKER_00
Because I kept reading it, like he said to me, your way s not working, try mine.
4
SPEAKER_00
Mine way is working.
4
SPEAKER_00
He was happy, healthy, wealthy, this guy.
4
SPEAKER_00
So I kept reading this, and what happened is it got me thinking.
5
SPEAKER_01
thinking of earning money.
5
SPEAKER_01
Now, prior to that, I wasn t.
5
SPEAKER_01
I was thinking of debt.
5
SPEAKER_01
All I was thinking about is debt.
5
SPEAKER_01
I owe this money, I owe that money.
5
SPEAKER_01
They were all phoning me.
5
SPEAKER_01
And since I was thinking about it, I started to hear people talking about it.
5
SPEAKER_01
And I remember this guy saying, there s good money cleaning floors.
5
SPEAKER_01
I said, I m not proud of cleaning floors.
5
SPEAKER_01
In five years, I was cleaning floors in Toronto, Montreal, Boston, Cleveland, London, England.
5
SPEAKER_01
I mean, I was having a hell of a time.
5
SPEAKER_01
got to change the program.
5
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, one of the things that I stopped doing many years ago, when I had no money, I stopped, I got rid of my TV for a few years.
5
SPEAKER_00
Because I found myself
5
SPEAKER_00
being caught and just consuming a lot of news or just shows that weren t really supporting me because I was sitting there as opposed to creating in action, doing something to help me earn more, to generate what I was looking for and to work on my health and wellness, my relationships, everything, not just money.
5
SPEAKER_00
And after a few years,
5
SPEAKER_00
I didn t miss the TV and I started making more money than ever and I was in great shape and all these different things happened.
5
SPEAKER_00
And today, I have TV now and I watch Netflix, I watch sports mostly but I don t watch the news.
5
SPEAKER_00
It s very rare if I watch the news and I get criticized for this sometimes from people.
5
SPEAKER_00
because they re like, well, you should be aware of what s happening in the world, you should be educated, you should be mindful, all these things.
5
SPEAKER_00
And I live in a building here in Los Angeles, and they have a big TV in kind of the, in a general room where people can walk in.
5
SPEAKER_00
And I went in there the other day, and I sat down and sipped some coffee, and literally on this massive TV screen, they had four different news channels up at once, kind of splitting the screen in four parts.
5
SPEAKER_00
And for 20 minutes, all they were showing on the news screens, all four channels, was just this bombing, and this is happening here in India, and this is happening in the US, and the rioting, and all of it just was chaos.
5
SPEAKER_00
And I was just like, man, if I sat here and watched this every single day, my mind would be chaotic, because I m consuming chaos.
5
SPEAKER_00
And like you talk about, it s changing the frequency.
5
SPEAKER_00
It s turning the channel off and getting into a different frequency is what we need to do and not consume that.
5
SPEAKER_00
We can still be aware of it.
5
SPEAKER_00
You know, I don t want to live in a world where I don t know what s happening, but I don t need to watch it all day to still be aware of it.
5
SPEAKER_00
Isn t that right?
5
SPEAKER_01
You know, I think anything that that s, I don t know, very important that, you know, you ll overhear it in conversation.
5
SPEAKER_01
You don t have to watch the news to get it.
5
SPEAKER_01
You re going to get it.
5
SPEAKER_01
Somebody is going to tell you.
5
SPEAKER_01
So I agree, you know, it s a waste of time sitting there soaking all that up because it does you no good and it does you a lot of harm.
5
SPEAKER_00
It does a lot of harm.
5
SPEAKER_01
When I was saying before, it makes you feel bad.
5
SPEAKER_01
If you feel bad, feeling is a word we invented to describe our conscious awareness of the vibration we re in.
5
SPEAKER_01
When you are feeling bad, you re in a negative vibration.
5
SPEAKER_01
When you re feeling good, you re in a positive vibration.
5
SPEAKER_01
That s just a basic thing that we could go by.
5
SPEAKER_01
So how do you feel good?
5
SPEAKER_01
Well, there s all kinds of ways to feel good.
5
SPEAKER_01
Think of something really pleasant.
5
SPEAKER_01
You ll start feeling good.
5
SPEAKER_01
Do something kind for somebody.
5
SPEAKER_01
You ll start to feel better.
5
SPEAKER_01
Help somebody out somewhere.
5
SPEAKER_01
You ll start to feel good.
5
SPEAKER_01
Share a good idea.
5
SPEAKER_01
You ll start to feel good.
5
SPEAKER_01
When you re feeling good, you re in a good vibration.
5
SPEAKER_01
You re going to attract good stuff to you.
5
SPEAKER_01
Most people don t understand that feeling is conscious awareness of vibration, and the vibration you re in is dictating what you re going to attract.
5
SPEAKER_01
It s a basic thing.
5
SPEAKER_01
It s so basic, but it s not understood.
5
SPEAKER_00
It s hard for people to change the way they feel because they get, I feel like they get trapped in it.
5
SPEAKER_00
They re like, no, this is how I m feeling.
5
SPEAKER_00
It takes them days to get out of it until they go to sleep, wake up.
5
SPEAKER_00
And maybe that resets the programming because they got some sleep.
5
SPEAKER_00
I don t know.
5
SPEAKER_00
But I feel like and I ve been there many times in my past where I would hold on to things for weeks, months and hold on to the negative feelings.
5
SPEAKER_00
So I get it.
5
SPEAKER_00
I ve been there, but it s so much better.
5
SPEAKER_00
when you can shift it faster or just be aware of it.
5
SPEAKER_00
And I m not saying don t feel grief and sadness and anger and frustration.
5
SPEAKER_00
These are all feelings.
5
SPEAKER_00
We probably should have a balance of feeling, but don t hold on to them.
5
SPEAKER_00
I feel like that s what hurts us in the long run when we hold it on to those feelings.
5
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
5
SPEAKER_00
Because I m sure you still feel angry and upset and let down and sad at times, right?
5
SPEAKER_00
You know.
5
SPEAKER_01
I don t get angry.
5
SPEAKER_00
That s good.
5
SPEAKER_01
I can t remember the last time I got angry.
5
SPEAKER_01
I may be not very pleased with people sometimes, but I don t get angry.
5
SPEAKER_01
You might be disappointed.
5
SPEAKER_01
I used to get angry.
5
SPEAKER_01
I used to have a hell of a temper.
5
SPEAKER_01
I had red hair too.
5
SPEAKER_01
I think red haired have bad tempers.
5
SPEAKER_01
That s what they say.
5
SPEAKER_01
Well, it was true with me.
5
SPEAKER_01
I can t remember the last time I was angry.
5
SPEAKER_01
I just decided it was a really silly waste of energy.
5
SPEAKER_00
What do you think shifted for you in deciding that?
5
SPEAKER_01
Oh, there s no question about what shifted.
5
SPEAKER_01
It s the studying.
5
SPEAKER_01
If you study the right material, you re raising your level of awareness.
5
SPEAKER_01
And people that are angry all the time are on a pretty low vibration.
5
SPEAKER_01
They re not really very with it.
5
SPEAKER_00
So how long were you angry for in your life?
5
SPEAKER_00
How many, how many years did it take to finally said 40, 50, 60?
5
SPEAKER_00
How old are you?
5
SPEAKER_01
I was probably, I d probably be 60 60.
5
SPEAKER_00
And how, how young are you now, Bob?
5
SPEAKER_01
I m 86.
5
SPEAKER_00
You look great, man.
5
SPEAKER_00
I hope I look as healthy and young as you at 86.
5
SPEAKER_01
I m still going strong.
5
SPEAKER_01
I have no intentions of slowing down.
5
SPEAKER_00
That s amazing.
5
SPEAKER_01
So when I say I haven t been angry for a long time, probably, you know, it was probably up around 60 when I, I think I eliminated it, you know, as I was going along and I realized, I think I got to the point where I realized just how silly it is to get angry.
5
SPEAKER_01
And you start to see other people getting angry.
5
SPEAKER_01
You think, why are you doing that?
5
You know,
5
SPEAKER_01
They feel justified in that sense.
5
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, where do you think you d be if you let go of anger at 40?
5
SPEAKER_00
Where do you think you d be in your life now?
5
SPEAKER_01
Further ahead than I am.
5
SPEAKER_00
Really?
5
SPEAKER_01
I don t really know where, but oh yes.
5
SPEAKER_01
There s a tremendous amount of energy that s wasted in anger.
5
SPEAKER_01
It s a dumb waste of energy.
5
SPEAKER_00
Why do you think we get angry?
5
SPEAKER_01
We don t learn to, what is it?
5
SPEAKER_00
What is in our mind?
5
SPEAKER_01
You know, if a person would take, do you have a little book as a man thinketh?
5
SPEAKER_00
I ve had it before, but I, I think you actually sent me one, but I might ve given you another way.
5
SPEAKER_01
I m going to send you another.
5
SPEAKER_00
I might have it, but yeah.
5
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
5
SPEAKER_01
Um, if you take the last chapter and as a man thinketh it s on serenity,
5
SPEAKER_01
And you start reading that and you read it every day.
5
SPEAKER_01
If you wrote it out every day, I often have people write it every day for 90 days.
5
SPEAKER_01
It changes your life.
5
SPEAKER_00
I want to ask you about money and relationships.
5
SPEAKER_00
You ve been around the block a long time.
5
SPEAKER_00
You ve seen a lot.
5
SPEAKER_00
You ve met a lot of people.
5
SPEAKER_00
You ve had many different relationships in your life.
5
SPEAKER_00
How important is it to have
5
SPEAKER_00
alignment around money mindset when you re in an intimate relationship with your intimate partner or a business partner.
5
SPEAKER_00
What conversations should we be having around money to make sure that the partner we re in business or life with is going to support us as opposed to be a, you know, kind of thorn in the side of energy, if you will?
5
SPEAKER_00
Well,
5
SPEAKER_01
I think money plays a very, very big role in our life.
5
SPEAKER_01
We should control the money.
5
SPEAKER_01
We should never let money control us.
5
SPEAKER_01
I love earning it.
5
SPEAKER_01
I love giving it away too.
5
SPEAKER_01
If you re in a relationship
5
SPEAKER_01
Understanding money and the relationship plays a very big role.
5
SPEAKER_01
You can t have one person with a, let s say, a poverty consciousness and another one with a prosperity consciousness and expect to have harmony, and that relationship s just not gonna be there.
5
SPEAKER_01
Because there s too many things where money comes into, involved in decision making and conversations.
5
SPEAKER_01
And if you re not on the same page, there s trouble in River City, you know,
6
SPEAKER_00
And that s just the way it is.
6
SPEAKER_00
So I think it s very important.
6
SPEAKER_00
But the truth is not many people understand money.
6
SPEAKER_00
Very few.
6
SPEAKER_00
You know, I was mentioning my business partner, Sandy Gallagher.
6
SPEAKER_00
She was a securities attorney when I first met her.
6
SPEAKER_00
She came to a seminar.
6
SPEAKER_00
And she ended up being my business partner.
6
SPEAKER_00
She owns 50% of the company, and she s the CEO of the company.
6
SPEAKER_00
She runs it.
6
SPEAKER_00
I have a pad here where I write things I m grateful for.
6
SPEAKER_00
The very top thing, Sandy s financial genius.
6
SPEAKER_00
That s number one in my gratitude list every day.
6
SPEAKER_00
I ve earned millions and millions of dollars.
6
SPEAKER_00
It wasn t until she became a business partner about 15 years ago, I guess, that everything in my life changed with money.
