My problem…
- Wasn’t as productive as I wanted to be
- Wasn’t as focused
- Wasn’t as obsessed
- “I don’t feel like it”
Most of what’s holding you back is invisible to you
- Not external (tactics/techniques)
- It’s internal
Self Image Definition:
- The idea one has of one’s abilities, appearance, and personality
Who you think you are dictates what you think you can do
- What you believe to be true, becomes true…for YOU
- “I suck at cold calling” = you suck
- “I’m a cold calling machine” = become great at it
- Belief dictates action
Started as entertainer…so I practiced magic
- Self image changed to “entrepreneur” & I learned business
- No longer identified as entertainer
- ‘Entertainment’ was my product, not who I am
- No longer identified as entertainer
Then I became a speaker
I set out to create a new self image
- In-demand speaker, cold emailing
- “How would an in-demand speaker respond?”
Started building online brand
I wasn’t getting results I wanted in my business
- Didn’t blame ‘tactics’ or ‘programs’
- I’m to blame
- I wasn’t as obsessed as I needed to be…
I studied mindset/motivation but…
- Only one-side of the coin
- Only positive thinking, etc
- No amount of positivity makes
- “Why can’t I get myself to operate at the level I know I’m capable of?”
I study billionaires and realized they’re…
- Focused
- Obsessed
- Urgency
- Smart
- Practical AND Delusional
- Very secretive – take information, don’t give it
Asked myself, “How would a billionaire act?”
Billionaire Bruce was born
I would wake up as Billionaire Bruce
- Move with urgency
- Stay focused
- Obsessed
- VERY practical
- Delusional – Think Big
Forced me to act differently
- Didn’t care about what people think
- I’m on a mission
- Very impatient
- I’m on a mission
- Etc
Who do I need to become to get what I want?
- Study people at the top
- Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant = Killer Mentality
Imagine you’re playing a character in a movie
- What would that character do?
- Are you introverted & want to be extroverted? What would the character do?
- Imagine you’re in a scene as an extrovert
- KEEP it going after they yell ‘cut’
- Are you introverted & want to be extroverted? What would the character do?
Who do you think you are?
- Dictates self talk & what you can do
This isn’t affirmations
- I’m not saying things to myself
- I’m ACTING out this character (self image) 24/7
Your current self image = collection of other’s opinions
- An introvert acts extroverted people say “that’s not like you”
- You revert back to their opinion of you
- Break this by imaging you’re playing a character 24/7
Billionaire Bruce is the self image that gets things done
What’s your new self image?
