About the Hosts:
John Mitchell
John’s story is pretty amazing. After spending 20 years as an entrepreneur, John was 50 years old but wasn’t as successful as he thought he should be. To rectify that, he decided to find the “top book in the world” on SUCCESS and apply that book literally Word for Word to his life. That Book is Think & Grow Rich. The book says there’s a SECRET for success, but the author only gives you half the secret. John figured out the full secret and a 12 minute a day technique to apply it.
When John applied his 12 minute a day technique to his life, he saw his yearly income go to over $5 million a year, after 20 years of $200k - 300k per year. The 25 times increase happened because John LEVERAGED himself by applying science to his life.
His daily technique works because it focuses you ONLY on what moves the needle, triples your discipline, and consistently generates new business ideas every week. This happens because of 3 key aspects of the leveraging process.
John’s technique was profiled on the cover of Time Magazine. He teaches it at the University of Texas’ McCombs School of Business, which is one the TOP 5 business schools in the country. He is also the “mental coach” for the head athletic coaches at the University of Texas as well.

In this episode John and Kelly discuss an idea that comes from Joe Dispenza. He says that when we wake up each morning, we are oriented to our recent past. To our familiar past. So when our eyes open each morning, three things are going on. First we’re innately wired for survival. Which causes us to be fear-based and reactive. Secondly, 95% of our daily thoughts and actions are unconscious. And third, and this is what Joe Dispenza adds to the equation, we are oriented to the recent past. So the effect is when you open your eyes each morning, you’re fear-based and reactive. With the vast majority of your thoughts being fear-based, with 95% of them being unconscious. And you’re thinking about the recent past. Your problems and may be little things that hurt you over the last few days. That then produces feelings. And those feelings create more negative thoughts. It’s a spiraling negative loop that causes you to continually re-create the past. Thoughts are the language of the mind and feelings are the language of the body. So when you get in this negative loop to continually re-create the past, nothing is pulling you forward. That’s why the think it be it 12 minute a day methodology is so powerful. Where you articulate the succinct articulation of your desired life. Exactly the person you want to be, exactly what you want to accomplish and precisely how you can achieve your clearly defined goals.

In this episode, John and Kelly talk about the concept that success is something you attract, rather than something you chase. By being the type of person that does attract success. As Kelly points out, BE then DO. John makes the analogy of someone trying to catch a butterfly. It’s very elusive. Just like success. But if you become the person that you need to be in order to be successful, you will attract success. Kelly talked about the idea of envisioning the best version of yourself 10 years from now. And envisioning what you would have accomplished. Then seeing the type of person you would need to be in order to attain that level of success. It’s a great analogy. Putting yourself in a third-party position to see the person you need to be in order to attract the success you want is a fundamental concept. In this podcast John also points out the power of the think it be it method. Your defining exactly the person you want to be, exactly what you want to accomplish, and precisely how you can achieve your clearly defined goals. Then you feed that to yourself every day using the think it be it template. Since 95% of a person’s daily thoughts and actions are unconscious, when you feed that to your subconscious mind that’s who you actually become. Your subconscious mind makes you into what you’re feeding it. Powerfully simple. The science of leveraging yourself.

In this episode, John and Kelly discuss the idea that we all have a problem in life that we must overcome. We are all innately wired for survival, not success. And here’s the impact of being wired for survival. It causes 70% of our thoughts to be fear-based. We’re reactive rather than proactive on our important agenda. So think about that. If you’re innately wired to be fear-based and reactive, that’s exactly the opposite of how you need to be in order to be productive creative and happy. And to say that another way, you’re wired for failure. During the discussion Kelly talks about social media. And how it puts being wired for survival on steroids. Social media is driven on comparison and fear. During the discussion Kelly and John talk about the fact that the input you have coming in your head determines the quality of your life. So if you’re spending too much time on social media, that has a negative impact on your life. John also points out that in working with people he often sees that people say they feel like they are playing the game of life that 10% to 20% of their potential. And John connects the dots. Your daily actions determine your success in each area of your life. And John says that 95% of a person’s thoughts and actions are unconscious. So if you’re not controlling your unconscious daily thoughts and actions, of course you’re playing the game of life it 10% – 20% of your potential. And you fix all this by influencing those unconscious daily thoughts and actions. By feeding the succinct articulation of your life yourself each day. Exactly the person you want to be, exactly what you want to accomplish, and precisely how you’re can achieve your clearly defined goals. Then the right actions happen automatically without thinking.

In this episode, John and Kelly discuss personal responsibility. To launch into this topic, John plays a five minute presentation by Darren Hardy. After the clip plays, John and Kelly unpack what we learned. The first thing we learn is that you created the life you have. Whatever you have in your life, both good and bad, you created it. The second thing we learned is that cornerstone of personal responsibility is never being a victim. Eliminating victimhood. They also talk about the idea of looking at what you are tolerating in your life. That can be as bad as bad choices. John and Kelly also talk about the most precious gift we have. Controlling your attention. Because what you give your attention to determines the input that comes in your head. And that input determines your thoughts, which determines your actions, which ultimately determines your success in each area of your life.

In this episode, John and Kelly discuss the fact that only 2% of people are driven. John explains that he first discovered this about five years ago. He decided to go to the top expert in the world on success and share think it be it with him or her. As it turns out, John decided that Darren Hardy was the top expert in the world on success. So after he writes a big check and goes out to California, John meets with Darren. Shows him the think it be it template and explains the methodology. And after Darren looked at it very closely he says “this is good”. But Darren says that people are not going to spend 12 minutes a day on this. John couldn’t believe it. John goes how can that be? It 25X my income, Time Magazine did a cover story on the science behind this, and you’re applying the central concept of the top book in the world on success to your life. What you mean that they won’t spend 12 minutes a day on this? Darren says John, you’re new to the success business. The dirty little secret is that most people won’t do anything to impact their success. Because more success is merely a preference. Merely a preference. Darren said you have to only show this to the 2% of people where more success is a necessity. The people that are truly driven. John said that was so eye-opening. And over the subsequent years, what Darren said has proven to be so true. Kelly mentioned that the fact that only 2% of people are driven has a lot to do with self-worth. She’s reading a new book and if people don’t have a strong self-worth, they won’t be driven. John also talks about how his friend and recent student of think it be it Steve Pendergrast is now teaching a group of his own the methodology of think it be it. And he related the story to John that one of the students told him that the reason he didn’t have his homework assignment done is because he was too busy. Steve confronts his student on that. What would be more important than taking your own life to a new level. To improving your life. What’s more important than that. Well the Takeaway is this person he was talking to is not driven. So a higher level of success is merely a preference to him.
