https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/ins.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/TSM_Episode_632_Wendy_Scott_Scultz.mp3   Today I’m speaking with two of my clients, a husband and wife team—Wendy and Scott Schultz. They built a 7-figure business selling clocks on Amazon that required no marketing, because their sales just “took off.” One day, Amazon found out about what they were doing and started competing with them and undercutting them—and within 30 days, Wendy and Scott lost that 7-figure income stream.   Meanwhile, they had another business, a vacation rentals man ..read more

Because of this, people often get stuck in survival mode, constantly putting out fires and experiencing chaos. When you’re in this mode, you start to anticipate problems. You start to EXPECT that things will go wrong, and that the other shoe will drop.   My mentor used to say, “Whatever you focus on grows.” You may not realize the power of what you focus on.   If you can learn ..read more

When I first started doing this work, I was surprised that many of my clients would make a lot of money—and then feel embarrassment, shame, and guilt, as if they’d done something wrong. Their increased income was reflecting their own belief system and self-image.   Our whole life, most of us were taught that it’s supposed to be “hard” to make money. We’re told, “You can’t have it all ..read more

In 2000, he left Columbia at age 17 and came to the US without knowing any English. Today he’s an immigration lawyer and author of Prove Them Wrong: One Immigrant’s 10-Year Journey from Bankrupt to Millionaire, a phenomenal book that I highly recommend.   Hector faced enormous obstacles in pursuing his dream of becoming a lawyer. He was denied entrance into law school seven times, was repeatedly told ..read more

In 1986 I went through basic training and AIT (Advanced Individual Training) in the US Army. There were numerous, specific tests you had to pass in order to move to the next level—a weight test, height test, physical agility test, ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) test. I remember stressing out about it. As the tests became progressively more challenging, I was concerned that I wouldn’t be able to pass them ..read more

https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/ins.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/TSM_Episode_626.mp3   Many people go through life being a consumer. They were never taught that they could have an amazing life. They weren’t ever told, “You can be great” or, “You can go after your dream.” Most of the things people buy are based on a psychological, unconscious idea of “need.”   Over 100 years ago, companies discovered that if they can associate their product or service with something that fits the average consumer’s value system, that consumer would convince themselves t ..read more

https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/ins.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/TSM_Episode_625.mp3   What determines whether a person becomes successful, or whether they struggle endlessly in life? To answer this question, we need to look at the environment in which we were raised. Many people were raised in an environment where the focus was on SURVIVAL—not on someone’s desire to create the life of their dreams.   The truth is, success is easy. We were born to be a success. Each one of us has a purpose in life…but change is the hard part for most people. If you sub ..read more

https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/ins.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/TSM_Episode_624.mp3   Think and Grow Rich has helped millions of people become multimillionaires all over the world. The author, Napoleon Hill, says you can’t just “wish” or “hope” for success in something—you have to actually believe it’s possible and that you can do it. He writes, “There’s a difference between wishing for a thing and being ready to receive it. No one is ready for a thing until he believes he can acquire it.”   Many people get stuck from moving forward, because they don ..read more

https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/ins.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/TSM_Episode_622.mp3   Becoming successful is more about changing your awareness than anything else. The beliefs we’ve been given control our perception of the world we see around us. If you have a belief system that says “life is hard, success is hard, and making money is hard”—then you’ll see this belief reflected in your reality.   Not realizing their beliefs control what they see and experience, many people never break out of that illusion. They live in a “matrix” where everything they ..read more
