All right, welcome back to The Daily Mastermind, George Wright III with your daily dose of inspiration, motivation, and education. It's a brand new year, and I'm assuming if you're like most of our community, it's a brand new you. Are you ready to start your new year? Do you have the clarity and focus that you want to be able to create results this year that surpass any other year that you have been working on your own growth. And I hope you are. I hope you're ready to get moving. But if you haven't, I want to give you an episode today that'll get you a little bit focused, a little bit more clear on what it is you want to do. Because if you get to this point in the year, when you're beginning and starting out, you're probably like a lot of other people. Sometimes you do feel a little bit of anxiety and stress. You think, okay, what is going to be different this year than any other year. What's going to be different? What's going to change? And, you know, even if you feel like you're maybe feeling a little lost or uncertain or you question your path, maybe you are wondering what is going to be different or look, maybe you're in the other camp and you're really just doubling down on last year's activities. I want to ask you some questions. Are you stretching yourself? Are you getting really focused on the things that you know will help you to create the happiness, fulfillment, and strength in your life that you are looking for. Because there's a couple problems that happen in the beginning of the year, and I'm going to just address them right out of the chute. One is we go into the beginning of the year and we're really lacking clarity or focus, and we're feeling anxious. Maybe you feel the stress of what am I going to do differently, and you've got this anxiety or uncertainty or lack of confidence in the plan and the path that you have moving forward. Or maybe the second problem is a little bit more subtle. You're doubling down on the same strategies, expecting different results. And what's going to happen is you're going to get, you know, a few weeks or a few months down the road and you're going to drop your resolutions. You're going to drop your goals because you're going to realize that it's not taking you where you want to be. So what I want to suggest to you, and we're going to be doing a little bit of a different format here at the Daily Mastermind over the coming weeks, I want to suggest that you change your perspective a little bit. I'm going to give you a little context for what I'm talking about. See, the first phase of my career, I was really focused on my external world, you know, business, success, getting the results that everything in my outer world would label as successful. And I did it. You know, look, I made a lot of money. I traveled the lifestyle, I had the cars and the house and things, gained massive success, but it didn't really have the fulfillment that I was looking for. And, you know, about a decade ago, I had, you know, a divorce and some business failures, which took me into the second phase of my career, which was focused on my inner world. I talk a lot about the quote I love from Jim Rohn that says, success is not to be pursued, but to be attracted by the person you become. So I went from really focusing on goals and success and lifestyle to personal development, to creating the best version of myself. And I started to get more fulfilled and my priorities were in line and I was having the financial success as well, but not as big as I would have when I was really obsessed and pursuing those financial goals. But what I've come to realize over the last few years, and you know, if you've listened to The Daily Mastermind for a while, that the reason I created The Daily Mastermind was to help you to create the best version of yourself and your life, both personally and professionally. But what I've learned over time is that you can't just focus on one or the other. Personal development alone will not solve your problems. In fact, when you start looking interior, you look inside, you look at your inner world and you're trying to grow, you become more critical of yourself. You start to analyze your actions. You start to focus on personal growth and not creating the results you want in your external world. So I am a big believer in personal development, but I'm also a believer that you've got to do both. You got to have the business success in your outer world and the growth in your inner world And this is why I like to suggest that you adopt a new philosophy this year I like to suggest that you adopt a philosophy of evolving the way you think. And when I say a philosophy, as many of you know, one of my early mentors, Robert Stuburg, used to talk about the way you view life, the lens you put on life, your philosophy, how you view the world. And when you evolve your thinking, you start to realize that you can place a filter on life, that life is not happening to you, it's happening for you, that things in your life, you need to be able to take action but allow space for attraction. So I'd like you this year to evolve the way you look at your mind, your body, your money, and your business so that you could create a life and a lifestyle that's going to help you not only become fulfilled but absolutely crush your goals moving forward. And this is the whole reason that I started the Daily Mastermind, the whole reason I started the Daily Mastermind was to help you to create the life that you were meant to live. And it's never too late to start doing that. But you have to focus on daily, daily rituals for both your personal growth and your professional growth. And it's super, super important that you get clear, focused, and disciplined over the next coming weeks. And so what I'm going to do this year is I'm going to change the format a little bit of the Daily Mastermind. What we're going to do is on Mondays, I'm going to start your week out with mindset. It's going to be a solo episode of myself. We're going to be working on, you know, 10 to 15 minutes of core prosperity principles that you can use to create clarity, focus, and discipline in your mindset. That's on Monday. On Wednesday, I'm going to pull in the business. And what I believe is when you start with mindset on Monday and then Wednesday, I can circle back with a solo episode on business. And this is going to be focused primarily on marketing and authority. You're going to hear me talk a lot about that over the next quarter. When you can build your personal brand and your authority, it doesn't matter what type of business you're in, you are going to grow your business, you're going to attract opportunities, and you're going to create and eliminate competition. You're going to create your own unique placement and eliminate the competition. And so Monday is going to be mindset. Wednesday is going to be business. And we'll be taking you through the authority formulas for growing your personal brand. And then on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, I will bring in key episodes. We have some amazing episodes coming up. We've got Stephen M.R. Covey on the Speed of Trust. Had a great conversation with Grant Cardone. And we'll be talking a little bit about his success principles. And then I had the unique privilege to sit down with Ben Carr, who has a movie releasing this next couple of weeks in January called Standout. And it's a truly inspiring and motivating movie. So I hope you'll join me this week on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. But today I want to start out with a prosperity principle that I believe is going to help build the foundation of what you're going to create over the coming quarter. And I want to start with the 12 prosperity pillars. Now, let me give you a backdrop and we'll just take a few minutes here and go through it. The 12 prosperity principles are principles that I put together over 30 years of working with some of the greatest thought leaders, experts, success experts in the world. You know, Tony Robbins, Robert Kiyosaki, T. Harv Eker, best-selling authors on success, athletes, celebrities. Many of you know that I've done events all over the world. We've seen millions of people, done a billion dollars in sales. And it all comes back to the most important thing I would like to start you with are these 12 pillars of prosperity that I believe help you to set your mindset and give you the foundation to build your mind, body, money, and business to create your best life. So if you haven't seen them before, the 12 prosperity pillars I actually put into a poster because I use these as a daily ritual myself to just remind myself what's important. What are the key foundational principles I need to have in my life? So I going to run through them with you quickly And then over the coming weeks I going to each Monday I going to break down one of those principles share some stories and strategies and things that we come across maybe even some behind the scenes with some of the thought leaders I've worked with over the years. But let's start today by walking through these 12 prosperity principles. They're pillars that I believe you can have in your life. The first pillar is I create my life. I create my life. And this is so important because you have to believe that it doesn't depend on anyone else but yourself to create the life that you were meant to live. When you adopt the principle of I create my life, you will be empowered. But the second principle is just as important, and it's I take personal responsibility. When you take personal responsibility, you're not in a victim mindset. You are not in a reactive mindset. You are the one driving your life. and when it comes to authority for your brand, you realize that you don't have competition. You are the competition. So the first principle is I create my life. The second one is I take personal responsibility. The third one will be the difference maker for you and it's I act in spite of my mood. Successful people don't do things when they feel like doing them. Successful people do things regardless of how they feel like doing them and their consistency is what helps them to come out on top. So the third pillar is I act in spite of my mood. Now the fourth pillar will help you when you're struggling and it is I surround myself with positive people. Now that could have been successful people, it could have been people with results. The reason I chose over time to put this pillar as I surround myself with positive people is because your perspective and philosophy on life is so important and positive people will keep you in an energetic state of mind that will help you to be positive, successful, and move forward. You'll get that belief transference when you're around positive people because they're the people making the world move forward. That's the fourth pillar. I surround myself with positive people. The fifth pillar is I focus on solutions. This goes straight back to you have to come from a mindset of abundance. A lot of times we are dealing with how to fix problems and overcome challenges. What happens is our mindset is starting from scarcity. And so this pillar is so important because when you focus on solutions, you're gonna start from a place of abundance. You're gonna find solutions to problems and then you're gonna go back and solve them. And so it's so important. The prosperity pillar number six is I create an attitude of abundance. It feeds right off that focus of solutions. But when you have an attitude of abundance, you know that there are opportunities out there. You're not dealing with only what's in front of you, but what's coming at you, what your future version of yourself, your future life and everything holds for you rather than your present or your past life. So have a focus on solutions, but create an attitude of abundance. And the next pillar is I choose to be happy. I believe happiness is a choice. Happiness is not a result. It's not something that we're chasing down the road. This is really important because it affects how you approach life and how you approach your situation. Are you looking for happiness? Are you looking for fulfillment? What we find over time is that the things that we're chasing are just meant to give us the emotions that we want to have in our life. And you can choose to be happy. You can choose to feel that emotion right now. The next prosperity pillar is I always think win-win. I always think win-win. Now, the advantage of thinking win-win is that you know that there's always a solution that benefits everyone. and it's not a solution that you will win and others will lose. And it's a mindset of a winner. It's a mindset of being unstoppable. It's a mindset of being able to do what it takes to get the win. And it's not over until you win. And that's the mindset you need to have. The next prosperity pillar is I am committed to lifelong learning. Now, I find it's very ironic that so many people that are very, very successful are constantly learning. And yet people that are struggling feel like they have it not maybe so much figured out but they know what they want to do and they haven opened themselves up to the possibilities And right now in life with AI and with technology you got to commit to lifelong learning But it also important that you apply the learning that you have. So you've got to focus in on the skills and things that you want to develop. And we're going to dig into this really heavily over the coming weeks. But you've got to find ways to practice and implement. Without the implementation, your learning is not going to give you the benefits that you want. Now, prosperity pillar number nine is I create daily rituals. This is where you start to put everything into practice, and everyone's a little bit different. Daily rituals are designed to keep you on track, keep you motivated and inspired, but also get the results that you need in your life. And if you don't have specific daily rituals that you can be consistent in, that you can win in, that you can attract more things with, then I'm going to encourage you to try to figure out what those are. It might be meditation, might be journaling, might be a workout. It's the things that will help you to move the ball forward. And those are your daily rituals. We'll talk more about that. And then prosperity pillar number 11, actually daily rituals was number 10. Number 11 is I attract success. Now, when you truly believe that you attract success, what you're doing is you're not just taking massive action, but you're realizing that there is success that's going to come your way. It's the stuff that you don't know about. It's the stuff that is going to happen. It's the future version of your business, your life, your mindset. When you adopt this philosophy and this pillar of I attract success, it's a state of mind that increases your confidence. It's a state of mind that increases your ability to energetically bring the people around you that want to be around you. And when you attract success, what you're doing is you're actually building a life that allows you to not have all the pressure and responsibility to just go out and do it yourself. And so that's a super important pillar we're going to talk about. And then the last one, and this is one that a lot of people struggle with, I visualize and manifest my life. I believe the life that you were meant to live is the life that you can't see yet. And you have to learn and develop that skill to be able to visualize what the future version of you are, is what the future version of your life is. Because when you can live from the future version in the present moment, you will act differently. You will respond differently. You'll do different activities. And when you learn to visualize and manifest your life from the future version of what you're looking for, your current present day is going to be so much more productive, so much more fulfilling, and you will be so much more passionate because you're not living from a place of scarcity in the past or even limited resources of the present. You're living from the future version. And so these 12 prosperity pillars, I think, are really key. They're a foundation, and they may sound simple, but as we dig into these, you're going to find they extend into your mind, your body, your money, your business, your lifestyle, your relationships, your communication. These are pillars that I've adopted over the last 30 years, three decades, of working with some of the greatest thought leaders in the world. And so every Monday, I'm going to start your week with the prosperity principles that will help you to build a foundation. And then Wednesdays, we'll get into business. And then Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, I'll bring you some amazing interviews and some key concepts, strategies, tactics, resources that you can use. So I hope you'll join me.
