And simply total, it’s going to be a very wonderful dialog.
Ashley:
One of many massive takeaways that Jim will speak about that I had for this episode is he’s going to speak about your drawback of time administration. And what he says blew my thoughts. You don’t have a time administration drawback, you will have a precedence administration drawback. And as he goes via why and explains precisely his thought course of on this, I need you to begin enthusiastic about your personal calendars, your personal schedules, and what you do really prioritize and find time for too. And all through this episode, Jim will inform us little questions we needs to be asking ourselves as we undergo. Then if you happen to hear all the best way to the top, he really provides you a bunch of assets that you should use without cost to get entry to studying extra about enhancing your mind energy.
Jim, welcome to the present. Thanks a lot for becoming a member of us on the Actual Property Rookie podcast. We thought we might begin off this episode with questions from our viewers. So we let everybody know that we had been going to be having you onto the present and we had a number of individuals submit questions that they wished us to ask you. So our first query is from Amy Heney. How will you overcome procrastination? Jim, what could be your recommendation?
Jim:
Three issues that transfer the needle to beat procrastination. It’s for limitless motivation, and you could possibly use this for motivating your self to do the issues you have to do that you just’re pushing aside. And you could possibly additionally do that for individuals on the opposite facet to inspire them to purchase, to inspire them to record, to inspire them to speculate additionally. So it really works on each side. The system that we got here up with in Limitless Expanded, our model new e book, it says P occasions E occasions S3. P occasions E occasions S3. So let’s unpack that. The very first thing you have to do to have extra motivation and overcome procrastination, the P stands for objective. I notice that you could possibly have targets in your head, however if you happen to’re not performing together with your arms, it’s a must to faucet into the second H, which is your coronary heart, that are the feelings.
And that’s actually the place objective comes from. Objective actually is an emotional state. It’s emotions of pleasure. As a result of I really feel like if you happen to don’t have causes, you gained’t get the outcomes. So let’s say you need to keep in mind somebody’s title. Lots of people will neglect individuals’s title. Being a reminiscence professional, placing on that reminiscence teaching hat on that motivates somebody to recollect names. Faucet into the explanations. Ask your self why. And that’s the way you get your objective. Why do I need to keep in mind this particular person’s title? Perhaps it’s to point out the particular person respect perhaps. Which is so essential by the best way, to recollect names and faces in enterprise. As a result of how are you going to point out anyone you take care of their future, their funds, their household, if you happen to don’t care sufficient simply to recollect their title? So perhaps it’s to point out the particular person respect. Perhaps it’s to shut a deal, perhaps it’s to get a referral. Perhaps it’s to observe these strategies that they realized on this podcast. However keep in mind causes, rewards, and if you happen to don’t really feel it, you gained’t do it.
And it’s not mental causes. Everybody is aware of intellectually they need to work out, they need to meditate, they need to prioritize their sleep, however lots of occasions we’re not feeling the rewards that may come from it. So keep in mind, similar to how individuals don’t purchase logically, they purchase emotionally. As a result of we’re not logical, we’re organic. You consider dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, endorphins. We’re this chemical feeling soup. So I might say the very first thing to have is to essentially really feel your objective for doing one thing. The advantages that can come from doing that factor. As a result of typically in enterprise it’s a must to feed your enterprise until it feeds you again. You must feed it. Perhaps you’re working a 9 to 5 and also you’re doing this, however you feed your enterprise persistently till it feeds you again. However really feel the outcomes prematurely and that’s objective.
Subsequent, it’s a must to go to E, which is P occasions E occasions S3, the E is power. Lots of people procrastinate as a result of they’re simply exhausted. We have now a ten month previous and he’s teething and we’re not getting any sleep at evening. He’s similar to … We’re waking up 5, six occasions an evening. So it impacts your motivation to do the issues that you have to do. So you have to optimize your power. That’s why in Limitless Expanded, we speak about the very best mind meals for power, psychological power. We speak about find out how to handle your stress. It’s very tactical issues, science-based, as a result of stress takes lots of power. We speak about find out how to optimize your sleep and dietary supplements that offer you power. In order that’s simply actually nailing down the power as a result of an exhausted thoughts doesn’t do something. After which lastly, you could possibly have limitless objective. You could possibly really feel it and you’ve got power to behave on it, and you could possibly nonetheless not carry out. You could possibly nonetheless procrastinate as a result of typically the third purpose individuals procrastinate moreover lack of objective or feeling objective and lack of power is perhaps they’ve a purpose that’s simply too massive.
They need to construct their portfolio, make a certain quantity of earnings and get 100,000 followers or no matter. And S3 are small, easy steps. Notice {that a} confused thoughts doesn’t do something. Identical to a confused purchaser doesn’t something. So how do you make it tremendous, tremendous easy? By breaking it down. So perhaps let’s say train is admittedly good in your mind efficiency. You create mind derived neurotropic components, BDNF. However if you happen to’re not exercising, perhaps a small easy step is placing in your trainers. Perhaps individuals see me social media with Oprah or Elon or one thing like that and other people all the time ask how we linked. We bonded over books. You learn to succeed. Leaders are readers. Warren Buffet reads 500 pages a day. As a result of data at the moment will not be solely energy, data is revenue, however if you happen to’re not studying half-hour a day, perhaps it’s since you ate a giant processed meal and also you lack power otherwise you don’t really feel the rewards that come for objective. Or perhaps it’s simply too massive of a behavior change for anyone and perhaps a small easy step. Opening up a e book is a small, easy step. Studying one line in a e book is a small, easy step.
How you discover your small easy step, that is the magic query. We might flip this into a bit of masterclass the place everybody might write this down. What’s the tiniest motion that I might take proper now that can give me progress in the direction of this purpose and the place I can’t fail? What’s the tiniest motion I might do proper now, operative phrase is now, the place it provides me progress in the direction of this purpose, it’s going to be nearer to this purpose, the place I can’t fail. It takes little or no power and energy to have the ability to do it.
We have now our personal podcast, 400 plus episodes, 20 minutes every. Latest episode was with a organic dentist speaking about how your oral hygiene, your oral well being can result in higher mind well being. And if you happen to’re not flossing or your youngsters aren’t flossing, perhaps get them to floss one tooth. As a result of no one’s going to cease at one tooth, however the thought right here is inch by inch, it’s a cinch, yard by yard is simply approach too laborious. So these are the three areas that I might counsel placing your power and focus. After which when you’re doing that, it simply turns into second nature and also you begin to develop momentum. So yeah, break it down little by little, a bit of turns into rather a lot as a result of consistency compounds similar to cash.
Tony:
Jim, so many good little nuggets in there. I’ve received so many notes I used to be scribbling as you had been speaking. First, I simply need to speak about … You talked in regards to the health factor and simply waking up and placing in your trainers. I’ve competed in a couple of novice bodybuilding competitions, and one of many worst components was getting up each morning to do 60 minutes of cardio. And I by no means centered on the 60 minutes of cardio. My factor was simply rise up and brush my enamel. And if I might make it to the sink to brush my enamel, there was a 99% likelihood I’d make it downstairs to get on the treadmill and do the cardio. So I really like that concept of discovering that small step that leads in the direction of that greater motion.
I need to circle again although to the aim piece. As a result of I really feel like objective, it’s a heavy phrase, and lots of people float via life with out actually figuring out a real objective. And also you touched on it a bit of bit, however say that I’m somebody who’s simply feeling a bit of misplaced or a bit of caught simply usually. What steps ought to somebody in that place take to get some readability on what their objective is in life?
Jim:
Okay. Life objective, I used to be enthusiastic about a bit of bit in another way. For this I used to be enthusiastic about objective for figuring out and objective for studying or objective for micro issues. However actually you could possibly tie issues to your life objective. And now we have an entire chapter within the e book about discovering your objective. Folks use phrases interchangeably, and I discover it sort of fascinating. Folks will say ardour and objective and so they’ll really feel prefer it’s the identical factor, however for me, it’s very distinctive. Ardour for me … And I relate it to objective, the way it’s associated to objective. Ardour for me is one thing that lights you up. So Ashley, Tony, you might need one thing or plenty of issues that lights you up. And for me, studying is one thing that lights me up. It didn’t all the time. I had struggles on this space. I had a traumatic mind damage. I used to be labeled damaged. Took me years longer to discover ways to learn after my accident once I was 5 years previous. I used to be in particular schooling, all of that.
However studying, finally it grew to become my objective, my ardour. So ardour is what lights you up. For me, objective is how you utilize your ardour to mild anyone else up. So perhaps anyone is admittedly enthusiastic about actual property and their objective … So studying is what lights me up. Educating individuals find out how to be taught is my objective. To mild different individuals up as my instance. Mind optimization is a ardour of mine. It simply lights me up. And instructing individuals find out how to optimize their mind lights them up. In order that’s my objective. So I might say that giving your self sufficient stimulus to see the place your passions stream, after which how are you going to use your passions to mild different individuals up. Perhaps your ardour is music and your objective is performing for different individuals to mild them up together with your music.
And a few individuals’s ardour might be actual property or some side of actual property. And perhaps going on the market and performing that’s extra of your objective. And so for me, it’s not essentially simple, however I feel it’s fairly easy. You realize what I imply? Figuring out daily will not be essentially simple, nevertheless it’s fairly easy and simple. And so for me, one other approach of discovering your objective is to ask purpose-driven questions and tying it into your values. That means a fantastic query all people might ask themselves proper now could be what’s most essential to me in life? What’s most essential to me in a relationship? What’s most essential to me in a profession? And it’s totally different for each single particular person. It’s particular person for each single particular person. And so I might say in case your objective for all times is development, contribution, having enjoyable and journey, it’s totally different than anyone who has their values in life is safety and security.
So different individuals might actually worth journey and different individuals might worth security and people two persons are going to speculate in another way. They’re going to do various things with their cash, with their time. And picture these two persons are married. That’s going to be very totally different. And even in a relationship, discovering the values you will have in a relationship. Some individuals worth, belief, loyalty, kindness, however everybody values one thing a bit of bit totally different and so there’s a hierarchy of the issues that we worth. So for me, my life values are love, development, contribution, a way of journey and pleasure. And so I make my choices based mostly on that. And I really feel like a part of success is having the curiosity to know your self. It’s why individuals go to remedy or they meditate or they do introspection and reflection and journal. However then a part of it’s after you have the curiosity to know your self, having the braveness to be that particular person is one other sport totally.
As a result of lots of people are fearful of different individuals’s opinions, different individuals’s expectations. And so yeah, I might say objective is one thing that’s how you could possibly use your passions to mild different individuals up. And so simply preserve it there. And if you happen to’re not likely certain, what are the issues that mild you up and what are the issues that additionally you may’t stand? You could possibly additionally discover objective via issues that actually simply irritate the heck out of you, after which perhaps it reveals itself in that context additionally as effectively.
Tony:
Yeah, Jim, so many good issues there. I really like the phrase curiosity to know your self. I’ve by no means heard it phrased that approach, however I feel for thus many individuals, they in all probability by no means actually take the time to get to know themselves on that deep of a degree. And we’re all simply, I suppose have these floor degree relationships with ourselves. So I really like that phrase curiosity to know your self. However tying it again to similar to our rookies which can be listening, I feel a typical false impression that lots of new actual property buyers wrestle with as they step into this area is that they’re in search of actual property to be the top all be all for them, when actually the true property investing is only a car so that you can reside out your ardour, your objective, and no matter that’s.
So I feel of us don’t must put as a lot strain on themselves to search out all of the achievement within actual property investing, however simply get that enterprise to some extent the place it permits you to do the stuff you’re enthusiastic about. And Jim, that truly ties actually properly into our subsequent query right here from Tiffany O. And Tiffany’s query is, for individuals who have skills and passions in a number of areas, and she or he lists out actual property investing, content material creation, music, et cetera, and desires to unleash all of these in life, how have you learnt which one to place your full and entire deal with first? Do you deal with one or two at a time till you’ve reached a satisfaction level after which transfer on to the following? Or do you assault them concurrently?
Jim:
Yeah. All people has a unique mind sort. And one of many issues I’m actually enthusiastic about this new e book is there’s a chapter on there on cognitive sorts. And I notice after teaching for over 30 years that everyone learns a bit of in another way. Everybody leads in another way, everybody thinks a bit of bit in another way. And we discovered 4 buckets. We name them mind animals. And we created a quiz within the e book. Folks might additionally entry it on-line at mybrainanimal.com. It takes 4 minutes to undergo. You don’t purchase something. Identical to there’s customized drugs based mostly in your genetics and customized diet based mostly in your microbiome. Effectively, that is sort of like your customized studying. And when you perceive, going again to realizing your self, there’s this … I don’t know if you happen to two noticed Matrix, however when Neo walks in and meets the oracle for the primary time in her kitchen, there’s an indication proper above the door and it interprets know thyself, which is such an essential half to get out of the Matrix and simply into your energy.
And so this may let you know a bit of bit extra about your self. And now we have these animals that we might speak about on this dialog and it informs the way you strategy issues and it informs whether or not you multitask otherwise you simply deal with one single factor at a time. And so there’s totally different … I imply actually we give individuals recommendation, however I additionally know in the end the very best coach is self-coaching. And when you realize your self … As a result of not each even food regimen is for everyone. Some persons are allergic to sure meals or they only can’t digest it or it simply doesn’t agree with them. And identical factor with that’s different individuals prefer to be taught in another way and purchase in another way, assume in another way, and likewise carry out in another way. Some individuals prefer to deal with only one single factor. That’s their approach. Different individuals love to do a number of issues in parallel and be extra of a jack of all trades and be enthusiastic about all these issues.
And once more, who am I to determine what could be completely finest for a person? However I might see if you happen to’re making progress, that may be the take a look at. Limitless, which is the title of the e book, it’s not about being excellent, it’s about advancing and progressing past what you consider is feasible. So progress I really feel like is the secret. If I used to be to ask all people, in case your life was precisely the identical as it’s 5 years from now, would you be joyful? And for most individuals they wouldn’t as a result of development makes individuals joyful. Making progress makes you content.
And so if you happen to’re capable of handle plenty of totally different passions and functions in your life, then by all means, if that’s your mind sort, run with it. And I do know so many individuals that get drawn to the following shiny factor and so they love concepts and so they love new alternatives and so they keep it up for a few weeks after which their motivation falters and plateaus after which they transfer on to one thing else additionally as effectively. So I might say not all the things’s for everyone, not all people’s for all the things. Everybody’s a bit of bit totally different. However as you do it, choose it by outcomes. And that’s in the end the investing sport. You’re all the time getting suggestions. You make errors, which all of us do, however there’s no such factor as failure. There’s solely failure to be taught one thing and people errors grow to be stepping stones to get us to the following degree.
Ashley:
I feel a few stuff you simply stated there actually relate to a brand new actual property investor, a rookie. So far as the shiny object, each episode they’re listening to of recent and other ways to truly put money into actual property, and it’s laborious to remain centered on that. However one factor I need to ask about is, you talked about figuring out your self, determining who you might be, after which additionally working in your weaknesses. How do you determine what your weaknesses are? There’s the widespread ones corresponding to I do know I ought to go to the health club daily. I don’t. However what about weaknesses in your enterprise or weaknesses that is probably not as obvious to you? What are steps you may take to truly determine them?
Jim:
I really feel like all success is about talent improvement. A giant a part of it. That means that if you wish to create a brand new lead to your life, you have to do a brand new conduct. And with a purpose to have new conduct, you want coaching to have the ability to do this. That’s why individuals hearken to your podcast, they undergo programs, they learn plenty of books. And there are all types of assessments on-line. Energy finder assessments and instruments that might enable you. Going again to the ability of realizing your self as a result of I feel self-awareness is unquestionably a superpower. And there’s this totally different strategy. Once more, some individuals lean in all of their strengths. Different individuals, they deal with their weaknesses, they attempt to degree up their weaknesses. For me, as soon as I see the areas the place I’m not progressing or I don’t have a pure adaptation to select up this talent, I’ve to decide.
And I really feel like we might do something, however we will’t do all the things. And that’s the place I both delete, I delay, or I delegate. If I’m not going to do one thing, I’ve to both delete it off my to-do record, I’ve to delay it and schedule it for one more time, or I’ve to delegate it to anyone else. Perhaps a vendor or perhaps anyone else on my staff or some individuals finally they may rent an assistant to have the ability to assist them. However by way of weak point, with a purpose to create a consequence, if you happen to don’t have the talent improvement to have the ability to do this consequence, then I really feel like that’s a weak point. You need to create a consequence which is gross sales or extra earnings or no matter it’s. And if you happen to really feel such as you’re not salesperson since you’re not getting the consequence … If you happen to’re performing on it. Some individuals don’t have the gross sales as a result of they’re not motivated going again to the dialog we had about motivation.
But when they’re really doing one thing like a way and so they’re not getting the consequence, then they should improve that technique via coaching, self-discipline, deep work. And if it’s not coming very easy with them, then they should decide, which implies ought to I put extra power and energy into this weak point? Or is there a approach that I might get assist and construct my staff the place anyone … It’s getting the suitable individuals. Constructing a staff is getting the suitable individuals on the bus, getting the unsuitable individuals off the bus, ensuring the individuals on the bus are sitting in the suitable seats, which means they’ve the suitable roles and tasks. And I feel that’s the place this mind evaluation is available in, as a result of as soon as you know the way individuals assume … One of many animals is an elephant who’s extremely empathetic once you take this quiz. And we discovered that our entire buyer assist staff, they’re all elephants. And we didn’t plan it that approach. It’s simply individuals go together with their strengths and so they discover roles that enable them to make use of their powers. And I discover this self-awareness is essential, but in addition the attention of the individuals round you. Even the mind sort of your potential prospect or a shopper or an investor. They’d function in another way based mostly on the best way that they assume and be taught and carry out. So these 4 mind sorts I discover are tremendous, tremendous useful and important.
Ashley:
As a brand new actual property investor, a giant piece of getting began is threat administration and simply stress total. So do you will have some recommendation for anyone who’s perhaps working a W-2 job, they haven’t taken lots of threat for themselves financially, and now they’re about to speculate their life’s financial savings? What’s your recommendation for stress administration when taking these sorts of dangers?
Jim:
Threat mitigation is so essential as a result of once we’re pressured, we simply don’t make good choices. Persistent stress will shrink the human mind. If you’re pressured, you’re in a state of sympathetic struggle or flight. After we’re underneath anxiousness, we really feel like we’re being threatened as a result of stress is that sort of response to concern. And what I might say is … See, I’ve this concept that life is troublesome for one among two causes. Both as a result of we’re leaving our consolation zone, life is troublesome. We’re taking part in and practising on the fringe of our limits, life will get robust. Or life is troublesome not solely once we’re leaving our consolation zone, typically life could be very troublesome that we keep in our consolation zone. As a result of if nothing modifications, nothing modifications. And the consolation zone is a pleasant place to go to. The problem is nothing grows within the consolation zone. And so if individuals have an honest quantity of threat tolerance, with a purpose to get a brand new consequence, it’s a must to do a brand new factor. With a view to do a brand new factor, then it might be threatening as a result of it’s unknown.
And customarily persons are afraid and petrified of the unknown and uncertainty. And anyone who’s achieved something needed to do one thing that took a bit of threat. As a result of if you happen to’re protected, you’re not going to do the issues that let you increase. And if you need your enterprise to develop, your checking account to develop, then you have to develop. Nevertheless it takes power, it takes consideration, it takes an immense quantity of effort, and it’s a must to select your laborious. Being broke is tough and going on the market and doing one thing model new, on this case, actual property investing, is tough, if we’re sincere. We select what’s laborious. Being sick and drained is tough and going to the health club and planning your meals and prioritizing, that might be laborious. However we select our laborious. And so I like individuals who make the selection and in the end it’s their alternative. As a result of I do consider in company by way of individuals’s private accountability. My entire factor is simply I ask that individuals simply don’t complain about it in the event that they’re not doing something about it. That’s particularly my very own view.
Tony:
Jim, I received to get you to speak to my 15, virtually 16 12 months previous son about what you simply stated as a result of he and I’ve had some comparable conversations about you may’t be mad for the work that you just didn’t do. And he’s having a bit of little bit of a tough time greedy that. However I need to circle again. I really like what you stated about to get new outcomes, it’s a must to get new behaviors, which oftentimes requires teaching. I feel there’s one extra ingredient to that. I’m curious what your ideas are, and for you too Ash, however I really feel just like the fourth piece could be neighborhood. As a result of a lot of our beliefs I feel are tied to the folks that we encompass ourselves with and if our neighborhood that we’re at present part of thinks that monetary freedom is dangerous, if our present neighborhood believes that investing in actual property is dangerous, if our present neighborhood believes that constructing that enterprise is dangerous, inherently we begin to undertake these mindsets. So I suppose Jim, what are your ideas on the function that neighborhood performs in that conduct transformation as effectively?
Jim:
Yeah. We speak about 10 tenets to optimize your mind. The most effective meals and sleep and stress administration. Very tactical, very science-based. And the e book is filled with these issues. Considered one of them occurs to be a constructive peer group. Group. Who we spend time with is who we grow to be. We’ve heard the phrase within the self-development efficiency business for a very long time that you just’re the typical of the 5 individuals you spend probably the most time with. And if you happen to spend time with 9 broke individuals, you’re prone to be quantity 10. And the science behind it’s fascinating as a result of you will have one thing known as mirror neurons, and these are issues the place they imitate. It permits you to imitate individuals, principally unconsciously. And I all the time inform individuals, watch, W-A-T-C-H, and I take advantage of lots of acronyms as a result of they’re brief varieties methods, mnemonic methods of remembering one thing fast. So simply keep in mind watch. The issues that we’re mirroring and imitating from the individuals in our neighborhood.
The W stands for phrases. We have a tendency to make use of the identical language because the individuals round us. The identical slang because the individuals round us. And people phrases have a huge impact on our beliefs and our ideas. The A in watch are our actions. We are likely to behave the identical approach because the individuals round us. If all our associates are investing, then we’re extra prone to make investments. If our associates are smoking, we’re extra prone to smoke or consuming, we’re extra prone to drink. In the event that they go to the health club, we’re extra prone to go to the health club. We mannequin the behaviors of the individuals round us, our neighborhood. The T in watch are our ideas. And this is essential as a result of we are likely to have the identical limiting beliefs because the individuals round us as a result of we choose them up in conversations and simply via osmosis. At occasions, individuals see me do … I don’t know. We’ll move round a microphone to the viewers and perhaps 100 individuals introduce themselves and I’ll memorize all their names or they’ll problem me in a roundabout way like that.
And I all the time inform individuals, “I don’t do that to impress you, I do that to precise to you what’s doable. As a result of the reality is all of you could possibly do that and an entire lot extra. We simply weren’t taught.” There aren’t any courses and sophistication known as reminiscence. Identical to there’s no courses on find out how to focus and all of the issues that we educate on this e book. That being stated, individuals at occasions will typically come to me and say, “Jim, I do know you’re a reminiscence professional. I’m so glad you’re right here. I’m simply not sensible sufficient. I can’t do that. I can’t make investments. I can’t earn cash like all people.” I all the time say, “Cease.” If you happen to struggle in your limitations, you get to maintain them. If you happen to struggle in your limits, they’re yours. Your mind is that this unbelievable supercomputer, and your self-talk is this system that can run. So if you happen to inform your self, I’m not good at remembering individuals’s names, you gained’t keep in mind the title of the following particular person you meet since you program your supercomputer to not.
Now, remembering names is so essential in enterprise. Once more, as a result of how are you going to point out anyone you’re going to look after them if you happen to don’t care sufficient simply to recollect their title? Primary enterprise etiquette, networking talent there may be. However going again to imitation, we are likely to have the identical … Additionally moreover ideas, the C in watch is character. We are likely to have the identical degree of integrity of the individuals round us. In the event that they don’t have lots of integrity, now we have the identical morals because the individuals we spend time with. And the very last thing are habits. The H in watch is the habits. First we create our habits, then our habits create us. However we are likely to have the identical habits because the individuals round us additionally as effectively.
So yeah, I feel a constructive peer group is important. I feel on the alternate facet, typically our household and associates, we will love them, however they don’t should be our peer group. You realize what I imply? A peer group is anyone who has affect on the way you assume and the way you act and the way you’re feeling about your self. And household, they might be well-intentioned, however typically they might be honest however sincerely unsuitable. They usually might be well-intentioned, which means perhaps they don’t need you to get entangled on this venture or this funding as a result of they don’t need you to get harm or they don’t need you to get your hopes up. Perhaps they see you rising since you’re all the time listening to podcasts or studying books and going to conferences. And unconsciously they don’t need to lose you since you’re rising and making progress and so they have a concern that you just’re going to desert them or one thing like that.
However I’m saying you could possibly love your loved ones and associates, however you could possibly select your peer group. You could possibly create a e book membership, you could possibly create an accountability group. You could possibly create folks that maintain you to a better commonplace for your self. As a result of we all know that’s going to vastly have an effect on not simply our strategies that we’re going to make use of, but in addition our mindset and our motivation. If we’re round individuals which can be pushed on a regular basis, it’s similar to you bought to be pushed as a result of against this, you’re going to really feel such as you don’t slot in. And human beings, once we speak about neighborhood, all people needs to belong. So I feel it’s so essential to search out your tribe.
Tony:
I really like that tied in so effectively, Jim. I imply, I’m joyful to listen to that the neighborhood was already a giant a part of the framework that you’ve as a result of I’ve seen it play such an essential function in my life, I do know in Ashley’s life, and for thus many individuals which can be getting began, that neighborhood piece, that peer group is so extremely essential. And simply actually rapidly, I really like the idea of filtering out recommendation from individuals who aren’t essentially certified to provide you that recommendation. I really like my mother to loss of life, however I wouldn’t take actual property investing recommendation from my mother as a result of she hasn’t performed it. I really like my dad. My dad’s by no means made a podcast. So if he gave me suggestions on, “I don’t know if you happen to ought to say that within the podcast,” it doesn’t apply as effectively. Now, if Ashley gave me suggestions on an actual property deal, I’m going to take that, proper?
Jim:
I might say similar to once we talked about complaining, that you may’t be upset by the outcomes you didn’t get from the work you didn’t do, once we’re speaking about criticism … As a result of so many individuals shrink and being restricted is the alternative of being limitless. And so many individuals shrink down due to different individuals’s expectations. And I might simply remind folks that if you happen to’re fueled by the expectations of others, you’re simply going to expire of fuel. And also you shouldn’t take recommendation from anyone … Or no, sorry. I wouldn’t take criticism from anyone you wouldn’t take recommendation from. So we will make it actually, actually easy.
Tony:
That’s golden, man. Let me be sure I received that. You stated I wouldn’t settle for criticism from somebody I wouldn’t settle for recommendation from. Yeah.
Jim:
Yeah. I feel that’s a pleasant filter.
Tony:
Yeah. That’s nice.
Jim:
And also you all the time get suggestions. We might all the time get suggestions from individuals as a result of I feel suggestions is the breakfast of champions. So it’s nothing unsuitable with getting suggestions from individuals and studying from others, however actually it helps to be taught. The quickest technique to quick observe your success is be taught actually from individuals who’ve performed it. And in my case, I’ve invested tens of millions of {dollars} into studying find out how to be taught, find out how to optimize my mind, 30 plus years of my life doing it. And if I put it right into a e book and anyone might learn that in a e book in a couple of days, you could possibly obtain many years into days, and also you don’t should spend the tens of millions of {dollars}, the many years to have the ability to do this. It’s an exquisite technique to shortcut that. Identical factor with actual property, identical factor with something.
Tony:
That’s why I really like studying books. I imply, you get to consolidate many years of expertise from another person and put that into an actionable format. I really like e book. However Jim, one thing you talked about as we had been speaking in regards to the peer group piece was the limiting beliefs. And particularly for somebody that’s at the start of their journey, lots of occasions these limiting beliefs can result in evaluation paralysis the place they’re caught in an motion as a result of they don’t consider they’ll really obtain these items. So that you’ve touched on it a bit of bit, however what are some confirmed methods you’ve seen to interrupt via a few of these self-limiting beliefs?
Jim:
Mindset is the inspiration for all the things. Mindset is the set of assumptions and attitudes you will have about one thing. So you could possibly even know all the nice strategies, but when your mindset is … I don’t know. With a view to earn cash after harm individuals or benefit from them or cash is the foundation of all evil, all conduct is perception pushed. So that you gained’t even use the strategies to its potential as a result of you will have a deep-seated perception saying one thing on the contrary. And so it’s crucial to get these issues in line. And it’s good to find … We stroll individuals via a course of, it’s sort of in depth within the e book about find out how to uncover the lies in your life. And LIE is an acronym. Restricted thought entertained. What are the restricted concepts we’re entertaining that simply should not true? And so going again to the ability of realizing your self, self-awareness, being a superpower, it’s good to do a psychological audit as a result of it’s actually laborious to vary one thing if you happen to’re not conscious of it.
It’s actually laborious to have the ability to change your funds if you happen to’re not your funds, if you happen to’re not pulling up your financial institution statements, if you happen to’re afraid of working a credit score report or no matter. Or if you happen to’re not going and getting on the size or regardless of the metric is for well being. And so what I might say is do an audit of your present ideas. After which there’s so many various instruments and strategies that we speak about within the e book. EMDR, EFT, tapping. A few of you might be accustomed to tapping on meridians to have the ability to change limiting beliefs. We speak in regards to the energy of self-hypnosis, and we’re hypnotizing ourselves on a regular basis. I feel the character of the work is all about transcending. I imply, if you happen to have a look at a phrase like transcend, ending the trance. And the trance will not be solely via advertising and media that’s saying we’re damaged or we must be fastened or these sort of issues and concern that comes via the media and all the things, but in addition it’s the self-hypnosis.
I feel one of many methods to vary is to be actually acutely aware. They are saying the 2 strongest phrases within the English language are the 2 shortest phrases I’m. As a result of no matter you place after it determines your life, your identification and your future if you’ll. And so a pleasant I’m assertion. As a result of some individuals say I’m a procrastinator and that’s their identification. After which they marvel why they’ll’t get issues performed. And it’s the distinction between saying I’m a smoker and altering the conduct. It’s actually laborious if individuals determine with being a smoker versus that’s one thing that they do. And what you do doesn’t essentially outline who you might be additionally as effectively. However completely prioritize mindset, know the lies you’re telling your self after which see if there’s a approach … Within the e book, we do have a metamorphosis course of the place we simply reframe their limiting beliefs. And it’s normally a 180, the alternative of what’s holding them again.
And so a number of the lies that we speak about as examples in studying are issues like errors are failures, and that’s simply merely not true. Folks assume failure is the alternative of success when failure is clearly part of success. And typically once we’re speaking about dangerous, typically it’s too … You realize what’s dangerous is taking part in it protected these days. And that might be a problem additionally. However these are all a mindset situation. It’s your assumptions and your attitudes about one thing. And particularly whether or not it’s cash or it’s actual property, but in addition your attitudes, assumptions about an important factor, which is you. What you consider is feasible, what you consider you’re able to, what you consider … We will get actually uncooked, what you consider you deserve. And a few individuals deep down don’t consider they might be joyful or deserve that loving relationship or need to be wholesome. After which it doesn’t matter what the strategies are, they’re both going to not do the strategies or they’re going to do it in such a approach that they’re nonetheless restricted round their mindset and the idea patterns.
So lots of the stuff that we consider is full BS. They’re simply perception techniques. And for me, once I was 9 years previous, I used to be slowing down in school and I used to be being teased, bullied as a result of I used to be simply not getting the lesson that day. And instructor got here to my protection and she or he pointed to me and stated, “Go away that child alone.” Good intentions, like household. “Go away that child alone. That’s the boy with a damaged mind.” And I used to be like, wow, I didn’t notice I had the damaged mind. As a result of once you’re born, you’re a clean slate. So all these beliefs received imprinted on us. So how did it play out? Each time I did badly at school, which was like each week, or I wasn’t picked for sports activities, which was like each week, I might say, “Oh, as a result of I’ve the damaged mind.” And that grew to become my perception. And for the longest time, for a decade and a half, it restricted me as a result of all conduct is perception pushed. If you happen to consider you may or consider you may’t, both approach, you’re proper. The Henry Ford quote. So undoubtedly do an audit of your beliefs, see if you happen to might do a 180 of it and likewise simply see what’s working as a result of some beliefs serve us, however we don’t should consider all the things we expect.
Ashley:
Jim, how does this tie into manifestation? I just lately began listening to a podcast that talks about … A few of this sounds very acquainted as to no matter you need, it’s a must to manifest it and it’s a must to put it out into the universe that that is who you might be, that is what you need, and that is how your life goes to go. Does what you write within the e book correlate with any sort of manifestation or how does it differ?
Jim:
If we’re defining manifestation as taking one thing that’s invisible that you may’t see and making it one thing you may see, such as you’re creating one thing, I’m not a giant fan of regulation of attraction as a result of I additionally consider within the regulation of motion. And the regulation of attraction and manifestation, it’s sort of like you could possibly sit in a chair and simply think about it’s going to occur and that hasn’t been my private expertise.
Ashley:
That truly jogs my memory of a quote that I heard as soon as is if you happen to’re going to construct a home, you’re not going to rent a builder who’s going to dream about constructing your home. You’re going to rent one which’s going to plan find out how to construct your home. So does that decipher what your distinction is in comparison with manifestation?
Jim:
I watch lots of blended martial arts. I grew up watching lots of anime, and I might take into consideration that stuff on a regular basis with emotion, just like the regulation of attraction talks about. So I visualize it and I think about it, however that doesn’t imply I essentially have the skillset. If I’m not going into health club and getting correct teaching in jujitsu or Muay Thai or one thing else, I’m in all probability not going to get the outcomes. Not even in all probability. I simply gained’t. Regardless of how a lot I obsessed about it with power and creativeness. So I really feel like constructed into the phrase attraction is the phrase motion, and I feel that nothing occurs with out it. Can our beliefs have an effect on the universe? Certain. And I really feel like now we have to do our half additionally.
Tony:
Yeah, I’ve all the time felt just like the regulation of attraction is simply once you focus so closely on one thing, you simply begin to determine extra alternatives that you just would possibly’ve neglected earlier than. However yeah, you-
Jim:
That it’s a must to act on.
Tony:
Precisely proper.
Ashley:
Like a automobile.
Tony:
Precisely proper, yeah. Just like the recency impact sort factor. However yeah, I can’t think about somebody sitting at their eating room desk manifesting their technique to shedding pounds once they’re nonetheless shoving cake and pizza down their face daily. It doesn’t work that approach.
Jim, I need to speak a bit of bit in regards to the monetary piece as a result of for lots of our viewers, they’re W-2 staff, they’re working day jobs, however lots of of us I feel aren’t essentially perhaps working of their areas of power relating to what they’re doing to earn cash. What’s your recommendation for people to get extra in alignment in order that as they’re incomes cash via their W-2 jobs, it’s extra aligned with what they’re really good at?
Jim:
Yeah. I’ll return into this concept that we do what now we have to do. My household, once they immigrated to the states, my dad was 13, misplaced each his mother and father. They couldn’t afford to feed him. Got here right here to reside along with his aunt. We lived behind a laundromat that my mother labored at. They’d many roles. That aunt who I knew as my grandmother rising up handed of Alzheimer’s whereas she was caregiving for me. So all people has a unique story and all people has a unique story. So it’s not a comparability factor. However I additionally consider it’s not about assets, it’s about our inside resourcefulness. We didn’t have any cash, schooling, didn’t know anyone, no community or Rolodex, however I simply really feel like that adversity might be a bonus and the challenges result in change. I don’t know one robust individual that had a simple life.
So when you’ve got a tough life and also you’re working and you’ve got a household, we simply should … It’s not even about time administration, however time is the one factor all of us have the identical of. Not all people has the identical issues I talked about. Revenue, schooling, connections. However all of us have 24 hours in a day. However I don’t assume it’s about time administration. I feel it’s about precedence administration. And for precedence administration is totally different as a result of precedence administration is saying that an important factor is to maintain an important factor an important factor. Crucial factor is to maintain an important factor an important factor. And so we do what we will. And once more, we feed our enterprise after hours till it feeds us again. And in case your values are freedom, that’s one of many issues that you just maintain expensive, that’s your treasure, then you could possibly have construction in your job and likewise do one thing.
And I additionally really feel like entrepreneurship, having been an entrepreneur my entire life and by no means having a W-2 earlier than, individuals assume it’s simple, however I additionally assume it’s a unique sort of effort. If you’re not being instructed precisely what to do and also you’re not reporting to a boss, your elevate turns into efficient once you grow to be efficient. As a result of it’s all on us. And it’s a unique mindset by way of private accountability since you don’t have that security web. And I’m not saying give up your job and simply go full-time into something. You could possibly have a household and you could possibly have payments, and it’s a must to do it intelligently. However I’m simply saying that it’s a must to get out of your personal approach. That means some persons are doing the alternative of precedence administration and so they’re doing issues that aren’t getting them the outcomes, however they idiot themselves as a result of they’re busy and so they complain to their household that they’re drained.
And for me, it all the time comes all the way down to objective. My objective was very clear rising up as a result of I worth my household, my associates, and I’m asking myself, who’s relying on me to point out up at the moment? Who’s relying on me to do the laborious issues at the moment? Who’s relying on me to be at my A sport at the moment? And that fuels my need and my mission to do the issues that I do. Individuals are stunned to listen to that public talking was my worst concern. I imply, worst concern. As a result of if you happen to grew up with mind harm and you’ll’t learn, you by no means know the solutions, you by no means need to be known as on in school. So my superpower was shrinking down and being invisible, sitting behind the tall child. I went all via faculty with out giving a e book report as a result of I used to be fearful of doing that. Now, life has a humorousness as a result of what do I do?
All I do daily is the 2 issues that had been the toughest issues for me, which is public communicate on this factor known as studying. However I feel adversity might be a bonus. However going in the direction of your query, I might say to the one that’s working their 9 to 5, their W-2, you will have to choose. There’s a quote in Limitless once more that claims, life is the letter C between B and D. B is start, D is loss of life. Life is C, alternative. That these troublesome occasions that you just’re going via, it might distract you, these troublesome occasions can diminish you or these troublesome occasions, they may develop you. We determine with the alternatives that we make each single day. And so I might say some of the highly effective productiveness instruments, efficiency instruments you will have is your calendar. And but most individuals don’t use it. They put in like, oh, that is my guardian instructor conferences. That is my physician’s appointment. That is my 9 to 5.
However they’re not scheduling that facet hustle. They’re not scheduling their exercises. They’re not scheduling their meditation, no matter it’s, their sleep time, the issues which can be essential. And you may know what somebody’s priorities are by their calendar. As a result of what we put our time to, it’s not what we are saying, it’s what we present. And even in enterprise, it’s not what you promise, it’s what you show. And once you act persistently, then the outcomes do the talking for you. And so I feel it’s higher effectively performed than it’s effectively stated. However for me, I’ll be enthusiastic about your causes. When you unlimit your mindset about believing it’s doable that you just deserve it, your motivation, the aim half is admittedly simply who’s counting on you. After which the opposite factor is, now we have one life. Why aren’t we working in the direction of our desires like we’re on fireplace? That sort of urgency. And granted you do troublesome issues, but when it was simple, all people would have all the things, proper? If it was simple, everybody would have it. However when you could possibly get your self to do the issues that different individuals gained’t do, then you may reside a life that different individuals can’t reside. However it’s a must to pay the value.
Ashley:
So Jim, earlier than we wrap up right here, what’s the promise or what kind of transformation will happen of this e book? What would you like somebody to get out of this e book after they’ve learn it?
Jim:
The underside line for my work is your mind is your primary wealth constructing asset. It simply is. We reside in an age the place nobody watching this … It’s not like a whole bunch of years in the past. If we’re agricultural age, industrial age, we’re paid for our brute power. Immediately, it’s our mind power. It’s not your muscle energy at the moment. It’s your thoughts energy. And the sooner you may be taught, the sooner you could possibly earn. As a result of data at the moment will not be solely energy, data is revenue. And so the concept behind this e book is your mind is the wealth creating machine. It has created all the things else round us that we see, each know-how, however that is the last word know-how. However individuals improve their telephones, their automobiles, their apps greater than they improve this know-how, which is all the things. Your mind. And so what I might say is Limitless, the promise of the e book is we’re offering you with an proprietor’s guide in your mind.
Nevertheless it’s not like an anatomy e book. It’s a really sensible approach to have the ability to change your mindset, your motivation and the strategies you do to be taught. The final word talent to grasp within the twenty first century is your capacity to be taught quickly and translate that studying into motion. That’s the last word aggressive benefit bar none. As a result of when you could possibly discover ways to be taught, when you could possibly focus, you could possibly focus, you could possibly learn 3 times sooner, you could possibly perceive all the things that you just learn, you may keep in mind all the things that you have to keep in mind and you’ll implement and assume and remedy issues, what are you able to apply that to? All the things. Actual property, cash, advertising, martial arts, music, mandarin, all the things in your life, drugs. No matter you’re finding out. All the things will get simpler in your life. So the e book focuses on two issues. It focuses on find out how to optimize your {hardware}, the mind optimization, and likewise find out how to optimize the software program, that are the processes on find out how to focus, find out how to learn higher, find out how to enhance your reminiscence, find out how to keep in mind shopper data, product data, give speeches with out notes.
I imply all of the issues. As a result of I consider two of the costliest phrases in enterprise and in life are I forgot. Simply take into consideration how we lose effectiveness once we say, I forgot that dialog. I forgot what I used to be going to say. I forgot that presentation. I forgot to go to that assembly. I forgot that particular person’s title. And on the opposite facet, reminiscence makes cash. When you may simply keep in mind names and faces and shopper data, product data, give gross sales displays, keep in mind listings, keep in mind issues it’s a must to do, you simply present up with confidence in your life and capabilities. And so the promise of the e book is to essentially make you extra limitless within the space that actually issues, to put money into an important wealth constructing machine that you’ve, which is your mind. So we speak about find out how to focus, find out how to get higher sleep, find out how to change your habits, find out how to do away with previous lingering habits, find out how to change your limiting beliefs that maintain you again by way of self-doubt and self-sabotage.
After which all of the accelerating studying strategies which can be there. And the brand new e book, the expanded model that’s simply popping out is all about find out how to construct momentum. So we speak about these mind sorts. And folks might take the quiz at mybrainanimal.com. It simply takes 4 minutes, nothing to purchase once more. It’s sort of like, which Sport of Thrones character are you? And I’ll offer you a prescriptive on find out how to apply this in the direction of your enterprise. Your mind sort. How you can negotiate, find out how to talk with folks that have totally different mind sorts than you. We speak about studying agility at work. We speak about nootropics that can improve your temper, your psychological power, enable you together with your focus and your reminiscence. We speak about find out how to use AI in your enterprise and in your everyday to carry out higher, to be taught sooner.
So it’s similar to the fruits of 30 years of analysis and instructing and training myself into the one place. And that is the one e book that can enable you be taught each different e book afterwards. Since you’ll learn all the opposite e book’s sooner, keep in mind all the opposite books sooner, focus higher. And folks might discover it at limitlessbook.com.

And we donate all of the earnings to charity for the e book to construct faculties for youngsters, Alzheimer’s analysis in reminiscence of my grandmother, and a lot extra.
Ashley:
