Why Money Is a Result, Not a Goal

Welcome back to The Daily Mastermind, your daily dose of inspiration, motivation, and education. My name is George Wright III. I am your host. And I have spent the last 25 years in personal development, financial education, business strategies. And I'm here to help you on your daily journey towards creating your best life. The mission of The Daily Mastermind is to help you with the resources you need. You've got a mastermind community and daily rituals by listening to the podcast. So I appreciate you being here. I really look forward to bringing you some value today. I want to start you out with the daily mastermind quote of the day. And it's from Goldemeier. And it says, you cannot shake hands with a clenched fist. You cannot shake hands with a clenched fist. This really makes me think a lot about this concept that I learned from T. Harv Eker many, many years ago, which is, you know, not a new concept. it's along the lines of law of attraction and the idea that you have to take massive action. I've always grown up in business and throughout the years taken massive, massive action. But it took me later in life to learn that you had to leave space for attraction. You can't continually go out there and just bust and grind without getting a little bit of space there for you to attract the results that you want into your life. And that quote is what made me think of that. You can't shake hands with a clenched fist. And I know there's several meanings to that, but that's one of the things it did for me. Another thing I want to do for you today is, and every day moving forward, is to go through our 12 prosperity pillars. And the reason I do this is this is a daily affirmation for you. After 25 years of working with some of the greatest mentors out there, and I don't say that to impress you, I say that to impress upon you that I've learned a lot. And it's what helped me to create the 12 prosperity pillars, which is that poster that you see a lot of times on various websites and things that I'm working with. So I want to read those to you today because I want you to remember that these pillars are a foundation that you could build your day, your week, your month, and your life on. And if you'll follow these pillars and you'll put some time and energy into them, you'll identify some major results in your life and some areas that will help you to increase your health, wealth, and happiness. So let's get right into them. The 12 pillars are I create my life. I create my life. I take personal responsibility. I take personal responsibility. I act in spite of my mood. I act in spite of my mood I surround myself with positive people I surround myself with positive people I focus on solutions I focus on solutions I create an attitude of abundance I create an attitude of abundance. And I choose to be happy. I choose to be happy. I always think win-win. I always think win-win. And I'm committed to lifelong learning. I'm committed to lifelong learning. I create daily rituals. I create daily rituals. I attract success. I attract success. And I visualize and manifest my life. I visualize and manifest my life. Those are the 12 prosperity pillars. And I think you're going to find there's a lot of wisdom in those. We could spend every day forever on those. But what I want to do today is I want to talk to you about a thought I had as I was going throughout my day the other day. And, you know, I've heard this principle a lot in business. People always ask, what's the purpose of business? What's the purpose of your business? Think about that to yourself. What's the purpose of your business? Most people would say it's to create a profit. It's to make money. It's to hire employees. It's to be able to take care of the need. Here's the bottom line. None of that is true. The purpose of business is not to make a profit. But the purpose of business is to serve the need of your customer. It's to fill a need better than anyone else. And when you do that, you'll be successful. In other words, profit is the result of filling the needs of your customer. Profit is a result of doing what you do in an excellent, world-class fashion. And the purpose of business being service means one important thing. and that is profit is just the result. And it really makes me think a lot about this. And I want you to think about this in your life. Money is a result. This is a key principle that you have to understand and learn. Money is a result. See, the problem that everyone has right now, today, myself going through life, everyone going through life, is that they're focused on the results they want in their life. You're focused on being the right weight, having the right relationship, having the successful business, living the right lifestyle. Money, relationships, happiness, health, communication, relationships, those are all results. And the problem that you have is that you can create those results by focusing on the result I not talking about visualization and manifestation I talking about when you are so focused on the result that you not focused on the cause that creates the result you aren going to see the success. And that's something I learned a long time ago as I was getting mentored by a lot of individuals is that everything in life has a cause and everything has a result. It's this principle of the idea you've probably heard me talk about before where everyone has a money thermostat. In other words, based on what your internal world is creating for you, your thermostat is set at a certain temperature. Your level of success is set at a certain level. And no matter how much you push past that or try, until you actually turn your thermostat up, you'll always come back. You know, it's this principle when you're in your home, let's say, and you put the thermostat on 72 degrees, you could get it really hot in there short term, but the thermostat's going to cool it back down to 72 degrees. Or it might get really cool, but the thermostat's going to warm it back up to 72 degrees. So where is it in your life that you feel like you're constantly at this level that you're not getting past? And what you're needing to determine and realize is that your internal thermostat is guiding your life, Your internal world, your internal thoughts, your internal filters, your internal perspectives and beliefs are determining what your world is all about. And it's a concept I learned many, many years ago from T. Harv Eker because I had had some really, really great success in my life. But I always seemed to be bumping up against that level, right? That quarter million, $300,000, $400,000 level in income and in life too in general. and it wasn't until I really heard that that phrase that you've probably heard before from T Harv say you know if you want to change the fruits you've got to change the roots and the concept is everyone looks at the tree like let's say a fruit tree and you're seeing the fruit and you want that fruit you want you know great beautiful fruit but at the end of the day it's the roots that take in the nutrients it's the roots that determine the success of the fruit and there's no there's no difference between you and life your inner game which is by the way controlled by 80 percent by your subconscious mind and your habits and your rituals your inner game your inner world is going to be a direct reflection on your outer world Everything you want in life is the result of what you created in your mind That's right. Money is a result. Your weight is a result. Your happiness level is a result. Your health is a result. Your relationships are a result. They're all a result of your inner world. They're all a result of your beliefs and your thoughts and your actions. And so when you're going throughout your day this week, and when you're going throughout the week, the month, and everything, and you're trying to create your best life, be super careful that you're not just focused on the result, but you're focused on the cause. You're focused on the reason that will get you the result that you want. Because focusing on the cause of the result is going to be far more productive than just obsessing about the result. You may have gone your whole life thinking, I want this and this and this, and I've got my dream board and my vision, and I'm clear on it and all these kind of things. But until you focus on the cause that's going to get you that result, you're not going to see the result. You're not going to see it to the level that you could possibly see it. So that's my message for today. The purpose of your business is not to make money. It's to serve a need. And as a result, you'll get the money. The purpose of your life is not the things you want to create in your life. It's the things that are going to cause those results to happen. And the beautiful thing about it is when you focus on the cause, when you focus on the roots, when you focus on your inner game, the byproduct will be the things that you hope to gain in your life. The byproduct will be those things, the car, the life, the relationship, the communication, the health, the wealth, the happiness will be a byproduct of what you focus on. And that's your daily rituals. That's the best place to start. Now, tomorrow, I want to talk to you a little bit about the equation of thoughts lead to feelings, lead to Actions create results. And we'll talk a little bit more about strategy on how you can do this. But for now, just know that the first step is your daily rituals. It's what you do in your life every single day that will cause the results to manifest in your life. That's my message for today. Do me a favor. Share the show. Share this podcast.
