And in the event you guys don’t know Jim, in the event you Google his identify, you’ll see him rubbing shoulders with a few of the largest names in Hollywood and enterprise.

And simply general, it’s going to be a extremely superb dialog.

Ashley:One of many large takeaways that Jim will discuss 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 by why and explains precisely his thought course of on this, I need you to begin fascinated with your individual calendars, your individual schedules, and what you do truly 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 in the event you hear all the way in which to the top, he truly provides you a bunch of sources that you need to use free of charge to get entry to studying extra about bettering 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’d begin off this episode with questions from our viewers. So we let everybody know that we have been going to be having you onto the present and we had a number of individuals submit questions that they needed us to ask you. So our first query is from Amy Heney. How are you going to 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 want to do that you just’re pushing aside. And you could possibly additionally do that for individuals on the opposite aspect to inspire them to purchase, to inspire them to checklist, to inspire them to take a position additionally. So it really works on each side. The formulation that we got here up with in Limitless Expanded, our model new ebook, it says P instances E instances S3. P instances E instances S3. So let’s unpack that. The very first thing you want to do to have extra motivation and overcome procrastination, the P stands for objective. I understand that you could possibly have targets in your head, however in the event you’re not appearing together with your fingers, you need to faucet into the second H, which is your coronary heart, that are the feelings.And that’s actually the place objective comes from. Goal actually is an emotional state. It’s emotions of pleasure. As a result of I really feel like in the event you don’t have causes, you received’t get the outcomes. So let’s say you wish to bear in mind somebody’s identify. Lots of people will neglect individuals’s identify. 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 wish to bear in mind this individual’s identify? Perhaps it’s to indicate the individual respect perhaps. Which is so essential by the way in which, to recollect names and faces in enterprise. As a result of how are you going to indicate someone you take care of their future, their funds, their household, in the event you don’t care sufficient simply to recollect their identify? So perhaps it’s to indicate the individual respect. Perhaps it’s to shut a deal, perhaps it’s to get a referral. Perhaps it’s to follow these methods that they discovered on this podcast. However bear in mind causes, rewards, and in the event you don’t really feel it, you received’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 a number of instances we’re not feeling the rewards that will come from it. So bear 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 may come from doing that factor. As a result of typically in enterprise you need to feed what you are promoting 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 what you are promoting constantly till it feeds you again. However really feel the outcomes upfront and that’s objective.Subsequent, you need to go to E, which is P instances E instances S3, the E is power. Lots of people procrastinate as a result of they’re simply exhausted. We’ve 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 instances an evening. So it impacts your motivation to do the issues that you want to do. So you want to optimize your power. That’s why in Limitless Expanded, we discuss the very best mind meals for power, psychological power. We discuss the way to handle your stress. It’s very tactical issues, science-based, as a result of stress takes a number of power. We discuss the way to optimize your sleep and dietary supplements that provide you with 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 might really feel it and you’ve got power to behave on it, and you could possibly nonetheless not carry out. You might nonetheless procrastinate as a result of usually the third purpose individuals procrastinate apart from lack of objective or feeling objective and lack of power is perhaps they’ve a purpose that’s simply too large.They wish to construct their portfolio, make a certain quantity of revenue 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 de facto good in your mind efficiency. You create mind derived neurotropic components, BDNF. However in the event you’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 related. We bonded over books. You learn to succeed. Leaders are readers. Warren Buffet reads 500 pages a day. As a result of information in the present day just isn’t solely energy, information is revenue, however in the event you’re not studying half-hour a day, perhaps it’s since you ate an enormous 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 large of a behavior change for someone and perhaps a small easy step. Opening up a ebook is a small, easy step. Studying one line in a ebook is a small, easy step.How you discover your small easy step, that is the magic query. We may flip this into a little bit masterclass the place everybody may write this down. What’s the tiniest motion that I may take proper now that may give me progress in the direction of this purpose and the place I can’t fail? What’s the tiniest motion I may 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’ve our personal podcast, 400 plus episodes, 20 minutes every. Current episode was with a organic dentist speaking about how your oral hygiene, your oral well being can result in higher mind well being. And in the event you’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 exhausting. 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 little bit turns into loads 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 have been speaking. First, I simply wish to discuss … You talked concerning the health factor and simply waking up and placing in your trainers. I’ve competed in just a few novice bodybuilding competitions, and one of many worst elements was getting up each morning to do 60 minutes of cardio. And I by no means targeted on the 60 minutes of cardio. My factor was simply stand up and brush my tooth. And if I may make it to the sink to brush my tooth, 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 larger motion.I wish 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 by life with out actually figuring out a real objective. And also you touched on it a little bit bit, however say that I’m somebody who’s simply feeling a little bit misplaced or a little bit caught simply typically. 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 fascinated with a little bit bit otherwise. For this I used to be fascinated with 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 a complete chapter within the ebook about discovering your objective. Individuals use phrases interchangeably, and I discover it form of fascinating. Individuals will say ardour and objective they usually’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 may 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 harm. 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 turned my objective, my ardour. So ardour is what lights you up. For me, objective is how you employ your ardour to gentle someone else up. So perhaps someone is de facto captivated with actual property and their objective … So studying is what lights me up. Educating individuals the way to study is my objective. To gentle different individuals up as my instance. Mind optimization is a ardour of mine. It simply lights me up. And instructing individuals the way 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 move, after which how are you going to use your passions to gentle different individuals up. Perhaps your ardour is music and your objective is performing for different individuals to gentle them up together with your music.And a few individuals’s ardour could possibly be actual property or some facet 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 straightforward, however I believe it’s fairly easy. what I imply? Understanding daily just isn’t essentially straightforward, nevertheless it’s fairly easy and easy. 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 an incredible query all people may 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 individual. It’s particular person for each single individual. And so I might say in case your objective for all times is progress, contribution, having enjoyable and journey, it’s totally different than someone who has their values in life is safety and security.So different individuals may actually worth journey and different individuals may worth security and people two individuals are going to take a position otherwise. They’re going to do various things with their cash, with their time. And picture these two individuals 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 little bit bit totally different and so there’s a hierarchy of the issues that we worth. So for me, my life values are love, progress, contribution, a way of journey and pleasure. And so I make my choices primarily based 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 upon getting the curiosity to know your self, having the braveness to be that individual is one other sport solely.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 gentle different individuals up. And so simply preserve it there. And in the event you’re probably not positive, what are the issues that gentle you up and what are the issues that additionally you’ll be able to’t stand? You might additionally discover objective by issues that actually simply worsen the heck out of you, after which perhaps it reveals itself in that context additionally as properly.

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 believe for thus many individuals, they most likely by no means actually take the time to get to know themselves on that deep of a stage. And we’re all simply, I assume have these floor stage relationships with ourselves. So I really like that phrase curiosity to know your self. However tying it again to similar to our rookies which might be listening, I believe a standard false impression that a number of new actual property buyers wrestle with as they step into this area is that they’re searching for actual property to be the top all be all for them, when actually the true property investing is only a automobile so that you can stay out your ardour, your objective, and no matter that’s.So I believe people don’t must put as a lot stress on themselves to search out all of the achievement inside actual property investing, however simply get that enterprise to a degree the place it permits you to do the stuff you’re captivated with. And Jim, that really ties actually properly into our subsequent query right here from Tiffany O. And Tiffany’s query is, for individuals who have abilities and passions in a number of areas, and he or she lists out actual property investing, content material creation, music, et cetera, and desires to unleash all of these in life, how are you aware 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 kind. And one of many issues I’m actually enthusiastic about this new ebook is there’s a chapter on there on cognitive varieties. And I understand after teaching for over 30 years that everyone learns a little bit otherwise. Everybody leads otherwise, everybody thinks a little bit bit otherwise. And we discovered 4 buckets. We name them mind animals. And we created a quiz within the ebook. Individuals may 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 primarily based in your genetics and customized diet primarily based in your microbiome. Nicely, that is form of like your customized studying. And when you perceive, going again to understanding your self, there’s this … I don’t know in the event you 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 little bit bit extra about your self. And now we have these animals that we may discuss on this dialog and it informs the way you method 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 finally the very best coach is self-coaching. And when you already know your self … As a result of not each even food regimen is for everyone. Some individuals are allergic to sure meals or they simply can’t digest it or it simply doesn’t agree with them. And identical factor with that’s different individuals prefer to study otherwise and purchase otherwise, assume otherwise, and in addition carry out otherwise. 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 captivated with all these issues.And once more, who am I to resolve what could be completely finest for a person? However I might see in the event you’re making progress, that will be the check. Limitless, which is the identify of the ebook, it’s not about being good, it’s about advancing and progressing past what you imagine 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 completely happy? And for most individuals they wouldn’t as a result of progress makes individuals completely happy. Making progress makes you content.And so in the event you’re capable of handle plenty of totally different passions and functions in your life, then by all means, if that’s your mind kind, run with it. And I do know so many individuals that get interested in the following shiny factor they usually love concepts they usually love new alternatives they usually 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 properly. So I might say not all the pieces’s for everyone, not all people’s for all the pieces. Everybody’s a little bit bit totally different. However as you do it, choose it by outcomes. And that’s finally 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 study one thing and people errors turn out to be stepping stones to get us to the following stage.

Ashley:I believe 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 latest and alternative ways to really spend money on actual property, and it’s exhausting to remain targeted on that. However one factor I wish 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 establish what your weaknesses are? There’s the widespread ones comparable to I do know I ought to go to the fitness center daily. I don’t. However what about weaknesses in what you are promoting or weaknesses that might not be as obvious to you? What are steps you’ll be able to take to really establish 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 end in your life, you want to do a brand new conduct. And with the intention to have new conduct, you want coaching to have the ability to try 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. Power finder assessments and instruments that would enable you to. Going again to the ability of understanding your self as a result of I believe self-awareness is unquestionably a superpower. And there’s this totally different method. Once more, some individuals lean in all of their strengths. Different individuals, they deal with their weaknesses, they attempt to stage 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 may do something, however we will’t do all the pieces. 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 checklist, I’ve to delay it and schedule it for an additional time, or I’ve to delegate it to someone else. Perhaps a vendor or perhaps someone else on my staff or some individuals finally they might rent an assistant to have the ability to help them. However when it comes to weak point, with the intention to create a consequence, in the event you don’t have the talent improvement to have the ability to try this consequence, then I really feel like that’s a weak point. You wish to create a consequence which is gross sales or extra revenue or no matter it’s. And in the event you really feel such as you’re not a superb salesperson since you’re not getting the consequence … In case you’re appearing 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 truly doing one thing like a technique they usually’re not getting the consequence, then they should improve that methodology by coaching, self-discipline, deep work. And if it’s not coming very easy with them, then they should decide, which suggests ought to I put extra power and energy into this weak point? Or is there a approach that I may get help and construct my staff the place someone … It’s getting the appropriate individuals. Constructing a staff is getting the appropriate individuals on the bus, getting the flawed individuals off the bus, ensuring the individuals on the bus are sitting in the appropriate seats, that means they’ve the appropriate roles and duties. And I believe 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 if you take this quiz. And we discovered that our entire buyer help staff, they’re all elephants. And we didn’t plan it that approach. It’s simply individuals go along with their strengths they usually discover roles that permit 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 kind of your potential prospect or a shopper or an investor. They’d function otherwise primarily based on the way in which that they assume and study and carry out. So these 4 mind varieties I discover are tremendous, tremendous useful and important.

Ashley:As a brand new actual property investor, an enormous piece of getting began is threat administration and simply stress general. So do you will have some recommendation for someone who’s perhaps working a W-2 job, they haven’t taken a number of threat for themselves financially, and now they’re about to take a position their life’s financial savings? What’s your recommendation for stress administration when taking these sorts of dangers?

Jim:Danger mitigation is so essential as a result of once we’re careworn, we simply don’t make good choices. Power stress will shrink the human mind. Once you’re careworn, you’re in a state of sympathetic combat or flight. Once we’re beneath nervousness, we really feel like we’re being threatened as a result of stress is that form of response to worry. And what I might say is … See, I’ve this concept that life is troublesome for one in all two causes. Both as a result of we’re leaving our consolation zone, life is troublesome. We’re enjoying and working towards on the fringe of our limits, life will get powerful. 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 adjustments, nothing adjustments. 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 a good quantity of threat tolerance, with the intention to get a brand new consequence, you need to do a brand new factor. With the intention to do a brand new factor, then it could possibly be threatening as a result of it’s unknown.And customarily individuals are afraid and petrified of the unknown and uncertainty. And anyone who’s achieved something needed to do one thing that took a little bit threat. As a result of in the event you’re secure, you’re not going to do the issues that let you increase. And in order for you what you are promoting to develop, your checking account to develop, then you want to develop. Nevertheless it takes power, it takes consideration, it takes an immense quantity of effort, and you need to select your exhausting. 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 exhausting. Being sick and drained is tough and going to the fitness center and planning your meals and prioritizing, that could possibly be exhausting. However we select our exhausting. And so I like individuals who make the selection and finally it’s their alternative. As a result of I do imagine in company when it comes to individuals’s private duty. My entire factor is simply I ask that folks 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 related conversations about you’ll be able to’t be mad for the work that you just didn’t do. And he’s having a little bit little bit of a tough time greedy that. However I wish to circle again. I really like what you stated about to get new outcomes, you need to get new behaviors, which oftentimes requires teaching. I believe 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 believe are tied to the those who we encompass ourselves with and if our neighborhood that we’re at the moment 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 assume Jim, what are your ideas on the function that neighborhood performs in that conduct transformation as properly?

Jim:Yeah. We discuss 10 tenets to optimize your mind. The very best meals and sleep and stress administration. Very tactical, very science-based. And the ebook is filled with these issues. Considered one of them occurs to be a optimistic peer group. Neighborhood. Who we spend time with is who we turn out to be. We’ve heard the phrase within the self-development efficiency trade for a very long time that you just’re the common of the 5 individuals you spend probably the most time with. And in the event you spend time with 9 broke individuals, you’re more likely to be quantity 10. And the science behind it’s attention-grabbing 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, largely unconsciously. And I all the time inform individuals, watch, W-A-T-C-H, and I exploit a number of acronyms as a result of they’re quick kinds methods, mnemonic methods of remembering one thing fast. So simply bear 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 inclined to behave the identical approach because the individuals round us. If all our mates are investing, then we’re extra more likely to make investments. If our mates are smoking, we’re extra more likely to smoke or ingesting, we’re extra more likely to drink. In the event that they go to the fitness center, we’re extra more likely to go to the fitness center. 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 inclined to have the identical limiting beliefs because the individuals round us as a result of we choose them up in conversations and simply by 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 ultimately like that.And I all the time inform individuals, “I don’t do that to impress you, I do that to specific to you what’s doable. As a result of the reality is all of you could possibly do that and a complete lot extra. We simply weren’t taught.” There are not any lessons and sophistication known as reminiscence. Identical to there’s no lessons on the way to focus and all of the issues that we educate on this ebook. That being stated, individuals at occasions will usually 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 make cash like all people.” I all the time say, “Cease.” In case you combat in your limitations, you get to maintain them. In case you combat in your limits, they’re yours. Your mind is that this unimaginable supercomputer, and your self-talk is this system that may run. So in the event you inform your self, I’m not good at remembering individuals’s names, you received’t bear in mind the identify of the following individual 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 indicate someone you’re going to look after them in the event you don’t care sufficient simply to recollect their identify? Primary enterprise etiquette, networking talent there may be. However going again to imitation, we are inclined to have the identical … Additionally apart from ideas, the C in watch is character. We are inclined to have the identical stage of integrity of the individuals round us. In the event that they don’t have a number 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 inclined to have the identical habits because the individuals round us additionally as properly.So yeah, I believe a optimistic peer group is important. I believe on the alternate aspect, typically our household and mates, we will love them, however they don’t should be our peer group. what I imply? A peer group is someone who has affect on the way you assume and the way you act and the way you are feeling about your self. And household, they could possibly be well-intentioned, however typically they could possibly be honest however sincerely flawed. They usually could possibly be well-intentioned, that means perhaps they don’t need you to become involved on this challenge or this funding as a result of they don’t need you to get damage 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 wish to lose you since you’re rising and making progress they usually have a worry 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 mates, however you could possibly select your peer group. You might create a ebook membership, you could possibly create an accountability group. You might create those who maintain you to the next commonplace for your self. As a result of we all know that’s going to tremendously 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 might be pushed on a regular basis, it’s similar to you bought to be pushed as a result of in contrast, you’re going to really feel such as you don’t slot in. And human beings, once we discuss neighborhood, all people desires to belong. So I believe it’s so essential to search out your tribe.

Tony:I really like that tied in so properly, Jim. I imply, I’m completely happy to listen to that the neighborhood was already an enormous 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 might 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 completed 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 in the event you ought to say that within the podcast,” it doesn’t apply as properly. 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 would be able to’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 those who in the event you’re fueled by the expectations of others, you’re simply going to expire of fuel. And also you shouldn’t take recommendation from someone … Or no, sorry. I wouldn’t take criticism from someone you wouldn’t take recommendation from. So we will make it actually, actually easy.

Tony:That’s golden, man. Let me be certain I received that. You stated I wouldn’t settle for criticism from somebody I wouldn’t settle for recommendation from. Yeah.

Jim:Yeah. I believe that’s a pleasant filter.

Tony:Yeah. That’s nice.

Jim:And also you all the time get suggestions. We may all the time get suggestions from individuals as a result of I believe suggestions is the breakfast of champions. So it’s nothing flawed with getting suggestions from individuals and studying from others, however actually it helps to study. The quickest method to quick observe your success is study actually from individuals who’ve completed it. And in my case, I’ve invested hundreds of thousands of {dollars} into studying the way to study, the way to optimize my mind, 30 plus years of my life doing it. And if I put it right into a ebook and someone may learn that in a ebook in just a few days, you could possibly obtain a long time into days, and also you don’t should spend the hundreds of thousands of {dollars}, the a long time to have the ability to try this. It’s a beautiful method to shortcut that. Similar factor with actual property, identical factor with something.

Tony:That’s why I really like studying books. I imply, you get to consolidate a long time of expertise from another person and put that into an actionable format. I really like a superb ebook. However Jim, one thing you talked about as we have been speaking concerning the peer group piece was the limiting beliefs. And particularly for somebody that’s firstly of their journey, a number of instances these limiting beliefs can result in evaluation paralysis the place they’re caught in an motion as a result of they don’t imagine they’ll truly obtain this stuff. So that you’ve touched on it a little bit bit, however what are some confirmed methods you’ve seen to interrupt by a few of these self-limiting beliefs?

Jim:Mindset is the inspiration for all the pieces. Mindset is the set of assumptions and attitudes you will have about one thing. So you could possibly even know all the good strategies, but when your mindset is … I don’t know. With the intention to make cash after damage individuals or make the most of them or cash is the basis of all evil, all conduct is perception pushed. So that you received’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 essential to get these issues in line. And it’s good to find … We stroll individuals by a course of, it’s form of in depth within the ebook about the way 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 are usually not true? And so going again to the ability of understanding your self, self-awareness, being a superpower, it’s good to do a psychological audit as a result of it’s actually exhausting to alter one thing in the event you’re not conscious of it.It’s actually exhausting to have the ability to change your funds in the event you’re not your funds, in the event you’re not pulling up your financial institution statements, in the event you’re afraid of working a credit score report or no matter. Or in the event you’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 alternative instruments and methods that we discuss within the ebook. EMDR, EFT, tapping. A few of you might be accustomed to tapping on meridians to have the ability to change limiting beliefs. We speak concerning the energy of self-hypnosis, and we’re hypnotizing ourselves on a regular basis. I believe the character of the work is all about transcending. I imply, in the event you take a look at a phrase like transcend, ending the trance. And the trance just isn’t solely by advertising and marketing and media that’s saying we’re damaged or we should be mounted or these form of issues and worry that comes by the media and all the pieces, but in addition it’s the self-hypnosis.I believe one of many methods to alter 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 id 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 id. After which they marvel why they’ll’t get issues completed. And it’s the distinction between saying I’m a smoker and altering the conduct. It’s actually exhausting if individuals establish 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 properly. However completely prioritize mindset, know the lies you’re telling your self after which see if there’s a approach … Within the ebook, we do have a change course of the place we simply reframe their limiting beliefs. And it’s often a 180, the alternative of what’s holding them again.And so a few of the lies that we discuss as examples in studying are issues like errors are failures, and that’s simply merely not true. Individuals 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 … what’s dangerous is enjoying it secure these days. And that could possibly be a problem additionally. However these are all a mindset concern. 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 a very powerful factor, which is you. What you imagine is feasible, what you imagine you’re able to, what you imagine … We are able to get actually uncooked, what you imagine you deserve. And a few individuals deep down don’t imagine they could possibly be completely happy 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 assumption patterns.So a number of the stuff that we imagine is full BS. They’re simply perception techniques. And for me, once I was 9 years previous, I used to be slowing down at 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 he or she pointed to me and stated, “Depart that child alone.” Good intentions, like household. “Depart that child alone. That’s the boy with a damaged mind.” And I used to be like, wow, I didn’t understand I had the damaged mind. As a result of if 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 in class, 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 turned 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. In case you imagine you’ll be able to or imagine you’ll be able to’t, both approach, you’re proper. The Henry Ford quote. So positively do an audit of your beliefs, see in the event you may do a 180 of it and in addition simply see what’s working as a result of some beliefs serve us, however we don’t should imagine all the pieces 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, you need to manifest it and you need 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 ebook correlate with any form of manifestation or how does it differ?

Jim:If we’re defining manifestation as taking one thing that’s invisible that you would be able to’t see and making it one thing you’ll be able to see, such as you’re creating one thing, I’m not an enormous fan of legislation of attraction as a result of I additionally imagine within the legislation of motion. And the legislation of attraction and manifestation, it’s form 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 in the event you’re going to construct a home, you’re not going to rent a builder who’s going to dream about constructing your own home. You’re going to rent one which’s going to plan the way to construct your own home. So does that decipher what your distinction is in comparison with manifestation?

Jim:I watch a number of blended martial arts. I grew up watching a number of anime, and I might take into consideration that stuff on a regular basis with emotion, just like the legislation 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 fitness center and getting correct teaching in jujitsu or Muay Thai or one thing else, I’m most likely not going to get the outcomes. Not even most likely. I simply received’t. Irrespective 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 believe 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 legislation of attraction is simply if you focus so closely on one thing, you simply begin to establish extra alternatives that you just may’ve missed earlier than. However yeah, you-

Jim:That you need to act on.

Tony:Precisely proper.

Ashley:Like a automotive.

Tony:Precisely proper, yeah. Just like the recency impact kind factor. However yeah, I can’t think about somebody sitting at their eating room desk manifesting their method to reducing weight once they’re nonetheless shoving cake and pizza down their face daily. It doesn’t work that approach.Jim, I wish to speak a little bit bit concerning the monetary piece as a result of for lots of our viewers, they’re W-2 workers, they’re working day jobs, however a number of people I believe aren’t essentially perhaps working of their areas of power on the subject of what they’re doing to earn cash. What’s your recommendation for folk to get extra in alignment in order that as they’re incomes cash by their W-2 jobs, it’s extra aligned with what they’re truly 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 stay together with his aunt. We lived at the back of a laundromat that my mother labored at. That they had 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 imagine it’s not about sources, it’s about our inner resourcefulness. We didn’t have any cash, schooling, didn’t know anyone, no community or Rolodex, however I simply really feel like that adversity could possibly be a bonus and the challenges result in change. I don’t know one sturdy person who 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. Earnings, schooling, connections. However all of us have 24 hours in a day. However I don’t assume it’s about time administration. I believe it’s about precedence administration. And for precedence administration is totally different as a result of precedence administration is saying that a very powerful factor is to maintain a very powerful factor a very powerful factor. A very powerful factor is to maintain a very powerful factor a very powerful 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 pricey, that’s your treasure, then you could possibly have construction in your job and in addition 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 straightforward, however I additionally assume it’s a unique form of effort. Once you’re not being advised precisely what to do and also you’re not reporting to a boss, your increase turns into efficient if you turn out to be efficient. As a result of it’s all on us. And it’s a unique mindset when it comes to private duty since you don’t have that security internet. And I’m not saying stop your job and simply go full-time into something. You might have a household and you could possibly have payments, and you need to do it intelligently. However I’m simply saying that you need to get out of your individual approach. That means some individuals are doing the alternative of precedence administration they usually’re doing issues that aren’t getting them the outcomes, however they idiot themselves as a result of they’re busy they usually complain to their household that they’re drained.And for me, it all the time comes right down to objective. My objective was very clear rising up as a result of I worth my household, my mates, and I’m asking myself, who’s relying on me to indicate up in the present day? Who’s relying on me to do the exhausting issues in the present day? Who’s relying on me to be at my A sport in the present day? And that fuels my want and my mission to do the issues that I do. Individuals are stunned to listen to that public talking was my worst worry. I imply, worst worry. As a result of in the event you grew up with mind injury and you’ll’t learn, you by no means know the solutions, you by no means wish to be known as on at school. So my superpower was shrinking down and being invisible, sitting behind the tall child. I went all by faculty with out giving a ebook report as a result of I used to be afraid 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 have been the toughest issues for me, which is public converse on this factor known as studying. However I believe adversity could possibly 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 delivery, D is loss of life. Life is C, alternative. That these troublesome instances that you just’re going by, it may distract you, these troublesome instances can diminish you or these troublesome instances, they might develop you. We resolve with the alternatives that we make each single day. And so I might say one 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 mother or father instructor conferences. That is my physician’s appointment. That is my 9 to 5.However they’re not scheduling that aspect hustle. They’re not scheduling their exercises. They’re not scheduling their meditation, no matter it’s, their sleep time, the issues which might be essential. And you’ll 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 if you act constantly, then the outcomes do the talking for you. And so I believe it’s higher properly completed than it’s properly stated. However for me, I’ll be fascinated with your causes. When you unlimit your mindset about believing it’s doable that you just deserve it, your motivation, the aim half is de facto 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 hearth? That form of urgency. And granted you do troublesome issues, but when it was straightforward, all people would have all the pieces, proper? If it was straightforward, everybody would have it. However when you could possibly get your self to do the issues that different individuals received’t do, then you’ll be able to stay a life that different individuals can’t stay. However you need to pay the worth.

Ashley:So Jim, earlier than we wrap up right here, what’s the promise or what kind of transformation will happen of this ebook? What would you like somebody to get out of this ebook 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 stay in an age the place nobody watching this … It’s not like tons of of years in the past.
