you can build your dream life in 12 months, here’s how…

your dream life is less than 12 months away and it begins with principles of success and it's these principles that help me go from a broke 24 yearold to running my own business that generates over $100 million in Revenue a year they help me find my dream wife build amazing businesses and love the work I do every day and you can apply these today without having a rich family getting lucky or being early so I've distilled all these into nine principles to build your dream life starting with principle number one be willing to be misunderstood

most people hold back because they're scared of being too much but the truth is if you want to be extraordinary you have to be okay with extra it's in the word extraordinary the other day I was talking to one of my clients and he said to me my wife doesn't support my growth I feel like she's scared that our paths are going to divert and we'll be too far apart or we're going to be different and what I said to him is you have to be willing to go support your wife but also understand she

may not understand what you're about to do and that's okay often times your family are just too close to you to see your greatness and be okay with that don't fight them for it just understand they've seen you grow up they've seen you at your worst I don't expect them to understand I know that if I want to be the best at what I do and other people don't that my weird dreams means a dream life that for other people they can't comprehend why anybody would want to get up and be that driven to create

if they've never touched it when you're living your truth you're also showing them where they've been living a lot and it's not their fault nobody's ever done that for them they need to see you the way they see you because it allows them to tell themselves a story for themselves that makes you the villain and their opinion on you is not your business nobody needs a change for me to achieve my dreams nobody has to be different nobody has to give me approval your need to have everybody in your life understand every decision you make

is what's going to slow you down if you want to be extraordinary you need to be extra but you can't achieve your dream life with without defining it which brings us to principle number two visualize your dreams Napoleon Hill who wrote the book thinking Grow Rich talks about this all the time the concept is to have a primary aim if you don't have a Target how are you supposed to hit it most people say I just want to be richer I want to be happier I want to have more love but when you say what

does that mean they go I don't know just more more is not a strategy everything you see around you was first imagined in someone's mind they couldn't create this chair this mic the camera I'm using right now if they didn't clearly see it in their mind I call it the rule of 300% you want to have 100% Clarity towards your target I'm talking specifics I want you to tell me colors tell me amounts tell me where be 100% clear the second part is 100% belief can you have 100% belief that you can achieve it cuz

if you're thinking about something you want but then immediately tell yourself you can't do it that's not going to work then the last part of the 300% rule is 100% of the time can you have 100% Clarity 100% belief 100% of the time to your ability to have those three you will attract into your life the thing you're after just having the rule of 300 isn't enough you also have to trigger your goals I do this by sitting down three times a day and looking at the things I want to achieve this year I visualize

them I get in the energy of achieving them and I ask myself is my calendar reflecting the priority of getting these things done if not I make a change to really have this concept settle in I want you to think about this idea if I put $10 million into your bank account but you couldn't touch it for 10 business days how would you feel tomorrow walking around the world knowing in 10 days you're going to receive $10 million taxfree would you walk around slowly or fast would you be upset or happy could other people make

you upset or it would be impossible would you be excited about the future or pessimistic about it my gut tells me you have this energy of excitement and confidence and you'd be looking forward to the end of those 10 days now here's the gotcha you have to act like that without that $10 million there if you act as if it's there that energy will Attract it into your life having the belief and being in that energy will create the opportunities around you for you to plug in and get those results but you can't get your

dream life just thinking about it which brings us to principle number three ask better questions as a coach I realize the way I I program my clients Minds is through my questions asking better questions gets them to reflect then they come up with the answers and they build the plan see if they build the plan they won't fight the plan if they tell me what they're going to do because I give them clarity through my questions then they create the strategy they got to go execute and it's not my fault if it doesn't work out

it's their inability to do the work so one of my favorite questions for example is if somebody bought your business tomorrow what's the first thing that would change why haven't you made that decision yet what's coming up for you questions I truly believe are the programming language of the mind last year I went to date with Destiny at Tony Robbins event with my wife and there he teaches the idea of a primary question and for me the one I came up with that I use three four five times a day is how can I appreciate

even more God's grace and guidance in this moment and when I ask myself that question everything gets better there's just something really powerful a question delivers when you ask it properly that resets our focus on our existence to bring ourselves to the present as Tony often says ask a better question live a better life you're allowed to ask yourself a question like what would need to be true for this experience would be even better what would need to be true for me not to be fearful of making that decision what would need to be true

for me to be excited to go out and meet new people the answer to those questions will give you the strategies that will get you those results but if you just sit back and hope that somebody else does it for you you will never move forward Albert Einstein said it best a long time ago a problem well defined is a problem half solved if if you don't learn how to define your situation so that you can get it to a question that's clear then you can't solve the problem but your dream life won't materialize without

movement which brings us to principle number four default to action I get young men asking me every day on social media how do I start a company my answer is the same sell something to a stranger well what should I sell Dan it doesn't matter what you sell it is doing something versus thinking about it the wealthiest people default to action they don't overthink things they literally say I'm going to make a decision then make the decision right I don't wait until I make the right decision as Wayne gresy famously said you miss 100% of

the shots you don't take if today you overthink your situation and do nothing versus actually take a shot on goal then by definition it's like you didn't even try to take a shot what changed for me in my life is when I realized that the only thing I need to learn is shorten the distance between knowing and doing that's why I came out with this Mantra jfdi it's a license plate on my cars it's It's My Life philosophy the end of the day if my soul says yes then I have to take action I was

literally sitting on a book deal a million dooll book deal that I almost didn't do but I decided yes why because I already had all the information I need to make the decision I just was putting it off there's no need for that just say yes or it's a no whatever it is don't sit on it success is making decisions with imperfect data that's what the best people do so jfdi you got to close the gap between knowing and doing but action on its own w't W create your dream life which brings us to principle

number five measure what matters most people struggle getting a result in their life because they don't measure I remember one time I was on a call with one of my friends and I could see in his face he had put on some weight and I just asked him when's the last time he got on a scale now I know that may not sound nice but I loved him too much not to ask and his response was it's been a while and that day he will tell you that he went on a journey to transform his

life his name is Matt verlac he is one of my best buds and business partners and if you the 60 lb heavier version of Matt on that Zoom call to who he is today running ultramarathons and triathlons and hitting the gym he will tell you it was on the back end of that question and changing the fact that he measures not every week but every day and not only his weight but also his food and his workout routines and I just learned a long time ago what you focus on expands if you want to get

rich measure more if you want to lose weight measure more every day you have a chance to improve your situation if you can't measure it you can improve it most people just hope hope is not a strategy without measuring you're just guessing increase the specificity and increase the frequency of what you measure and watch it grow including your bank account measuring Every Day brings positive expectancy around the outcome that you want and that energy is what makes it happen but you can't create your dream life without focusing on this which brings us to principle number

six Focus follow one course until successful every day I ask entrepreneurs what do you do and the ones that are small say I do a few things I have several businesses what they really want to say is I have one business that makes profit and six others that suck that profit dry the thing that you will notice between people that are successful and Wealthy versus ones that are still struggling is the wealthy person did one thing really well he pushed that boulder up the mountain he put all of his resources behind that one Arrow to

hit the target once he had product Market fit once he had had a repeatable scalable model then he Diversified too often people hear diversification is how you create wealth no wealth creation requires concentration and diversification is diversification the truth is when you're starting multiple streams of income will not make you rich you got to go all in on one opportunity be obsessed with Mastery deciding that one thing to do the 10,000 hours or better said dedicate 10 years dedicate a decade or what I call a dedicate if you show up every day to dedicate yourself

to Mastery around one business it would be inevitable impossible for you not to achieve your goal and what you then learn is how to say no and a no is a yes to your dream and a yes today without properly understanding what it is is a no to your future which brings us to principle number seven play to win I have conversations with people every day that are talking about wayte to save on taxes or things they can do to save their expenses or how they have this idea they do this this and this and

they spend 10 hours to save $10 and I'm like what are you doing I have friends that have moved countries to save taxes to me that is trying to play not to lose and not trying to play to win the big issue with that is that they don't realize they're telling themselves that they can't create more and instead they're trying to save what they have instead of trying to fear and minimize the downside do enough to protect yourself do enough to buy insurance but any time spent above and beyond that versus going and creating more

is actually negative energy if you focus on trying not to lose guess what you will lose just learn from the mistake and move on learn how to create more value focus on abundance be more valuable to other people and you will see more resource come into your life instead of moving to save taxes ask yourself how can I create more money to stay where I want to live that's true freedom but you'll never achieve your real dream without accepting this next thing which brings us to principle number eight you're already enough a while ago I

was coaching this woman and I asked her what her 5-year goals were and she told me to make $100 million and I said cool easy but why and she goes so then I could tell everybody F you I was like to who she's like to every person that didn't believe in me I said interesting what's your Revenue at now she's like 7 million I said okay you should Google what percent of women founded companies get to 7 million in Revenue she's like well I don't know it's like probably 5 6% I'm like nope it's way

less it's like 0.01 % so in many ways you have already been able to tell them F you why do you need $100 million to feel the way you want to feel at that level and she got silent and she started to cry cuz what she realized in that moment was all of the goals that you set for yourself are just a criteria to give yourself permission to feel enough and you actually have everything you need right now to feel that way and I would argue being in that energy truly believing that today would actually

bring that future into your life even faster your dream life doesn't need anyone's signature of approval just the fact that you're watching this tells me you're already enough that you're here wanting to be better and that's the process my coach says it this way he says you have to be blissfully dissatisfied In This Moment you're allowed to be blissfully happy for everything you have and also realize that you have more to give the world and that is why we're here we're here to create it's finding the happiness in the pursuit not the pursuit of happiness

now that you know the how this last one will make sure you don't give up which brings us to principle number nine Define your why the reason I love to do the work I do is cuz I love helping people find their why the challenge is that most people don't want to go look for it because I learned a long time ago that every person's purpose the reason for being alive what they're meant to do some people call it a Divine assignment sits right next to the worst thing that's ever happened to them and it's

because of that pain that they went through that actually shaped them uniquely to help another person overcome or avoid that in their life and they might think well I'm here to do this art or I'm here to create this or I've got this business I'm building and all those things can still be true but until you understand your Big Y capital Y all caps bolded highlighted Y and use that to be your North Star as you build you'll always feel like you're not on the right Journey you'll always feel like you're missing something you'll always

see other people that are following that and be a little jealous or be frustrated why do they have that pep in their step why do they show up that way how do they have that level of excitement in their life a why is like the fuel of your success and for me I have to reconnect the work I'm doing on a daily basis to a higher purpose it's my Why without that the energy that I use to create won't be felt by my audience if I'm just going through the motions you're not going to listen

to this and take action you're going to be like man he's just reading from a script there's no hearten that is because I understand my purpose a strong why will overcome anyhow and the truth is is you don't have to save the world but you can save your World Imagine in 12 months you just design your dream life but there are still fundamental truths that you don't want to miss out on if you want to learn the 40 brutal truths I wish I knew in my 20s click the video and I'll see you on the
