to continue into the future success
1:33
voice or those you approach every activity

approve not just your own lives
2:06
but you're so sessions with other people the
2:08
average is also reason why most
2:10
new companies fail the couple people
2:12
get together they have a great idea they write a business
2:15
plan maybe this happen to you start a company
2:17
they base their predictions on everything going
2:19
in their favor they may even crate
2:21
what they consider to be a very conservative
2:24
projects let's say we showed the product
2:26
to ten people were bound assault at least three
2:28
of them up let's be conserved someone
2:30
in the groups as was cut that and half will be
2:32
specially site can we still make
2:34
it they decide that even based on the most conservative
2:37
play they will be success what
2:39
they didn't correctly assess is how many people
2:41
they would have to call just to do
2:43
the initial ten presentations everything
2:46
else was right one and a half outta ten
2:48
were good what they didn't understand
2:51
was it had to see a hundred just
2:53
to do ten presentations even
2:55
the most amazing product on earth might
2:57
require hundred calls just to get ten
2:59
meetings just , you have the
3:02
next step of the project completely planned out
3:04
doesn't mean arrested a world is with their
3:06
pain it's their pain stuff they're committed his own
3:08
schedules their own products their own
3:10
projects their own initiatives merely
3:12
getting the opportune to see the right people is going
3:14
to take so much effort a norm his efforts
3:17
and persistence just getting in front
3:19
of the right people most people are building
3:21
business plans based on average considerations
3:23
and ways of seeking not massive amounts
3:26
of action that are necessary to push through resistance
3:28
see when new ideas come together they're influenced
3:31
by excitement and enthusiasm many
3:33
negative considerations such as competition
3:36
economy market conditions manufacturing
3:38
lending raising money preoccupation
3:41
of the clients that's a huge once your clients
3:43
are preoccupied with other projects about
3:46
earthquakes wars tsunami
3:48
ease your entire cities being wiped
3:50
out production be and stopped distractions
3:53
by the media to see your optimistic
3:55
projections prove unrealistic even
3:57
the most conservative objectives are
4:00
because you just couldn't play on everything
4:03
of t partner gets sick maybe there's some
4:05
significant saints and economic conditions
4:07
global events like we're seeing right now and
4:09
assists everyone's attention for three or four
4:11
five six months people involved in
4:13
the new venture start to lose your enthusiasm pretty
4:15
quick dante are bickering
4:18
things become more difficult than was originally
4:20
considered failure emerges as a likely
4:22
possibilities the partners go through more money
4:25
than any one project it's and no income
4:27
coming in one of the dreamers guns
4:29
they have second thoughts and wonders if perhaps
4:31
he should bail for trader trying
4:33
to protect himself since the players don't see
4:36
mentally emotionally or physically prepared to take
4:38
the mass of actually necessary to push through market
4:40
resistance now continue with the scenario
4:42
in order to resolve the lack of income the
4:45
members of the group the remaining members
4:47
try to borrow or raise money from their friends
4:49
they get even more resistance didn't a real
4:51
as is gonna become increasingly difficult for
4:53
most people are anyone to any up
4:55
to the unreasonable amounts of relentless
4:58
ten x axis that are necessary to see things
5:00
through the partner start to believe that are come
5:02
to realize more intensely on raising money
5:05
than doesn't increasing and since they spend
5:07
all their tough we got a raise money they don't think
5:09
about do just increase the level of activity
5:11
because they didn't correctly estimated ten
5:14
level of thoughts and actions
5:16
necessary to see it through average
5:18
assumes incorrectly of course that
5:20
everything operate stabler people
5:23
optimistically overestimated how
5:25
well things will go amiss underestimate
5:27
how much energy and effort it will take just
5:30
a push things through anyone who has made
5:32
in business will support this concept
5:34
is simply cannot trainer prepare for normal
5:36
conditions of gravity you cannot frame
5:38
or prepare or fun for
5:41
normal amounts of competition resistance
5:43
or market conditions don't think average
5:45
baby say massive compare your
5:48
access to having to carry a thousand
5:50
pound backpack that you were every
5:52
day into a forty mile an hour
5:54
when on a twenty degree upward slope
5:56
prepare for massive persistent accent
5:59
and i promise you your win either
6:01
way no matter what happens you'll be the last
6:03
standing most businesses fail because are
6:05
unable to sell their ideas or
6:07
products and services a price is high
6:09
enough to sustain the company and fund
6:11
his activities the company isn't able
6:13
to collect revenue in quantities great us
6:16
because the people on which the company was
6:18
built their employees the customers of that
6:20
they take normal average
6:22
amounts of action and that's it looks
6:24
average never use anything more
6:26
than average and usually much
6:28
less average taken actions will
6:31
guarantee you a life of misery
6:33
uncertainty and failure rid
6:35
yourself of everything that
6:38
is average including the advice
6:40
you get some the friends you cheap says
6:42
to tough remember success is
6:44
your duty your obligation and you responsibility
6:47
and since there's no shortage of success
6:50
any apparent limitations you're experiencing
6:52
might simply be the result
6:54
of average satan an average
6:57
acting rid yourself of every
6:59
concept of average study
7:01
what average people do and prohibit yourself
7:04
and your team from considering
7:06
average as an option surround
7:08
yourself with exceptional thinkers endures
7:11
let your friends family and work associates
7:13
know that you treat average like a terminal
7:16
disease remember average
7:18
anything will never gets you to an extraordinary
7:21
life look up the word average and you'll
7:23
see for yourself what
7:25
did holes for you typical ordinary
7:27
com and that should be enough to abandon the concept
7:30
from all your considerations i believe that one
7:32
of the major reasons if not the only reason
7:34
why people don't stick to their goals and
7:36
fail to accomplish their goals is
7:39
because they failed to set goals that are
7:41
had a from the beginning i have read
7:43
many books on goal setting and even been to
7:45
seminars on this topic and i constantly
7:47
see people set goals that either
7:49
they never get started on or later
7:52
bailout on frequently and regularly
7:54
most of us have been warned against
7:56
setting goals that are to i even as seminars
7:58
i've heard people sites are you know them to our
8:00
because then the reality is if you start
8:02
with small you're probably gonna go
8:05
small people's failure to think big
8:07
enough in the beginning usually means
8:09
they will never act big enough often
8:11
enough or persistently
8:13
enough after all who gets excited
8:15
about so called realistic goals
8:18
and who can stay excited about anything
8:20
within at best average pay
8:23
off that's why people began to bail on projects
8:25
even before they get started when they experienced
8:28
any kind of resistance later they
8:30
bail their goals just are big
8:32
enough to keep you jack excited
8:34
to maintain your enthusiasm you have
8:36
to make your goals substantial
8:38
enough that they keep your tits and average
8:41
in realistic goals are always
8:43
almost always a let down to the
8:45
person setting them who's been
8:47
unable to fuel his or her goals
8:49
with the actions necessary to accomplish
8:52
their goals indeed most people no
8:54
offense or so apathetic
8:56
about their goals but they only write
8:59
them down once a year when the media says
9:01
oh it's resolution day we got a writer new years
9:03
resolutions as far as i'm concerned nothing
9:06
worth doing is done once
9:08
or twice a year is ridiculous the
9:10
things upon which your wife depend on the most
9:12
are the actions you take every day that's
9:15
why i make sure to always do two
9:17
things one or right my goes down every day
9:19
and to add sues object is that
9:21
are just out of my reach i
9:23
recently saw an interview with ted turner he
9:25
said the biggest mistake his father made
9:27
was that he had set goals the word sea bubble
9:30
he it's he dumped and then he spent the rest of his was
9:32
depressed so this opens me
9:34
up to my full potential when i'm writing a
9:36
ghost and everyday and i'm choosing objectives
9:38
just how to reach it opened me up to my full
9:40
potential which i used to fuel my
9:42
absence each day some people suggest
9:45
is setting improbable unreachable
9:47
goals might actually cause a person becomes
9:49
disappoint to lose interest but look if
9:52
your goals are so small that you don't even
9:54
consider them worthy and you won't write
9:56
down every day that they're not even worth pro and energy
9:58
into did you go the proceed away
10:01
a good idea you're still word
10:03
your goals as though you've already accomplished
10:05
them but make them big baby make a massive
10:08
how you expect massive ten x levels
10:10
of action if you're sending little
10:12
bit the little goals you're not a mouth
10:15
i'll keep this legal pad next to my bed so i can
10:17
record my goals first thing in the morning
10:20
and right before i go to bed at night i do this
10:22
every day i've been doing it for years i miss from time
10:24
to time i miss but i have hundreds of legal pads
10:26
basically that thrown into the trash can with goals
10:28
from when i was twenty six thirty six thirty
10:31
three forty four fifty one
10:33
yesterday today and they change
10:35

10:37
on so i'm rewriting them all the time this
10:40
keeps my attention on them i
10:42
always keep a legal pad my office and which
10:44
i can record new and improved objectives
10:46
i'm not talking about it to do list i'm talking
10:48
about goals that are out of reach the
10:51
following are some examples of some
10:53
of the goals i'm currently working on and
10:55

that has been on for five seasons are more i
12:16
am one the largest donors to my church
12:18
keep in mind these are some of my goals
12:20
and they're only be used to give you an example
12:23
high word them also note
12:25
that they are things that have yet
12:27
to be at sea not things
12:30
that have been achieved none of these things
12:32
have ever been achieved by me average goal
12:34
setting cannot and will not fuel
12:36
massive ten x actions so if
12:38
you agree with the ten x concept of accented
12:41
you gotta set big goals and can
12:43
reach if you approach and endeavor
12:45
with average seeking to start with your
12:47
start to give up the moment you even come
12:49
up against a challenge the resistance that
12:52
you know gonna com or less than optimal
12:54
conditions that will exist sooner or later unless
12:56
you have some big juicy giant
12:59
purpose baby that's your ensign
13:01
stats the fuel to get through resistance
13:04
you must have a big reason to be there
13:06
the bigger and more unrealistic
13:08
your goal the more they're aligned
13:10
to your purpose in the duty the more
13:12
your inner jobs and fuel your accents
13:15
for example let's say i want to save one hundred
13:17
million hundred million bones
13:20
and one bank account or multiple bank accounts
13:22
of does anyone need one hundred million dollars now
13:24
come on it is a goal and the bigger
13:27
and the juicer is the more likely you'll be
13:29
motivated to move in that direction through resistance
13:31
know me as you naysayers out there you
13:34
haters you people drifted off and the average
13:36
way and right now you're going to win a lottery
13:38
forget you guys like i don't need one hundred million you're gonna
13:40
win a lottery you're going to buy a ticket is gonna be a buck
13:42
you are when a one million dollar lottery want to win
13:45
one hundred million dollar lottery come on math
13:47
teacher think and right if you going to win a lottery
13:49
when one hundred million you could do more good
13:51
with it if you want to add even more energy
13:53
to your goals then make sure they're tied
13:56
to something even bigger than just
13:58
things like money the instance someone
14:00
who wants to earn money but doesn't have a constructive
14:03
goal for what to do with that
14:05
money may only produce the money images
14:07
get rid of it though wasted you follow me so
14:10
the goes to someone one hundred million notice
14:12
i want to do one hundred million but i want to be the biggest donor my
14:14
church it's attached to something worthy
14:16
when you're setting a goal be sure that you're clear
14:19
about what you want to for and then if you
14:21
can when you're ready tied
14:23
to a bigger purpose think massive all the
14:25
way across the board don't just say mass about one
14:27
money think i can have it all i want i
14:29
want money and to be happy think massive in
14:31
broad nods as vertical
14:33
did you follow me something massive on your
14:35
goals? big, giant vertical goals
14:37
and broad when setting your goals
14:39
across all your thoughts, all
14:42
the areas of your life, many people make money at
14:44
target and set a goal to
14:46
save it, but then just destroy the wealth
14:49
that was created they basically you ever seen
14:51
a rich celebrity, they got rich, and then blew
14:53
at all an athlete good they got rich,
14:55
and then blew it all so, maybe their goal was just to
14:57
have them temporarily or
14:59
they didn't have a real positive constructive
15:01
goal for what to do with that money look at how many
15:04
people just wanted to get rich and did and
15:06
it died broke so having goals, the
15:08
line with goals will start
15:10
to actually help fuel your goal
15:12
let's say one my goals is to save one hundred million
15:14
and that might help my church
15:16
and another goal is to fund programs to
15:18
improve conditions for mankind and
15:20
my product will used
15:23
two hundred years from now by other civilizations
15:25
and maybe aren't on this planet yet, whatever those
15:28
huge man those are giant so i start
15:30
thinking how i'm doing program, what i
15:33
to name it? how do i want to get out? how
15:35
do i protect it? so that it's being used years
15:37
from now this is an example of combining
15:39
goals in a broad, fashion through
15:42
would generator fuel and horsepower to drive your
15:44
actions and your goals the one my first
15:46
jobs, did i ever had was at
15:48
mcdonald's? i hated that was
15:51
mcdonald's at 1 because i smelled french fries
15:54
when i went home, you know what is because you know
15:56
it was a tough time in my life and i'm 15
15:58
years old and i got acne and i that the rise
16:00
in a hamburgers or added to it but i hated
16:02
it because it wouldn't learn that when my goals in my purposes
16:05
the guy work next to me he loved his
16:07
job because it aligns perfectly with
16:09
his goals and purposes i was the guy making
16:11
seven dollars an hour because i wouldn't have extra money
16:13
you know a during the summer years ago make it seven
16:16
dollars an hour who wanted to open a business
16:18
or mcdonnell franchise by the way he won't open
16:20
a hundred sanchez so every time
16:22
he's making seven dollars an hour he's learned the business
16:24
learn about my dolls thinking about as fantasist
16:27
he didn't understand why i was excited understand
16:29
why he was i was fired and he was
16:31
fired up your goals are there to fuel
16:34
the actions you need to take some
16:36
make your goals big make absorb make a massive
16:39
in make them off and then time in him with your
16:41
other greater purposes ask yourself
16:43
whether the goes you asset or equal
16:45
to your potential is there not equal to your
16:47
potential mans your ability to what you
16:50
could be actually doing so not going to get to
16:52
jack most people will admit that there goes a
16:54
well below their potential because most of the world
16:56
has been convinced remember persuaded
16:58
and even educated to be small
17:01
and set small a sustainable and
17:03
realistic goals if you're pair i'm
17:05
sure you've heard yourself suggests your
17:07
children or maybe heard it from your parents
17:09
to you are in your work environment
17:12
may be reasonable man never set
17:14
realistic goals it's a killer never
17:16
be reasonable with your goal setting you
17:18
can get a realistic life without setting goals
17:21
sport but you don't need to go out of your way to
17:23
have a realistic life everybody's got one
17:25
of those i despise the word realistic
17:27
i hate the word reasonable cause they're based
17:29
on what others consider all right
17:32
others who have probably been operating only
17:35
the first three degrees of action whose
17:37
only accomplice a little bit
17:39
and only think in terms of what has been
17:41
done rather than what is possible realistic
17:44
thinking is based on what others think is possible
17:46
but they aren't you and they have no way
17:48
of knowing what your potential purposes
17:51
if you're going to set goals by some what others think
17:54
than be sure the you do it based
17:56
on what the giants on this planet think
17:58
if you're going to set goals based on wood think maybe
18:00
and respect the giants and even that
18:02
would be a mistake that they'll be the first to tell
18:04
you don't base your goals and what i've done because
18:06
you can do even more jesus christ
18:09
said you can do more than i can
18:11
do but what does he said goes based on the top
18:13
players are you could do that steve jobs
18:15
go francis he wants to ding the universe
18:18
that insisted make and i pads he wants to
18:20
dean flick the universe
18:22
the huge he wants to create
18:24
products the forever changed the planet look
18:27
it would be done with apple and pixar if
18:29
you're going to set goals comparable to the others
18:31
buddy a lease pick a giant a lease
18:33
pick giants did have created massive
18:35
success in their own right and always
18:37
know that you can even do more than that many people
18:39
find themselves on the past their own simply
18:42
because they're doing what other average people
18:44
are doing or have done most people go
18:47
to college not because they want to go to gods but
18:49
because they're told to go to college is the right
18:51
thing to the most people belong to the religion
18:53
they belong to only because they were brought up in a family
18:55
to the goes that religion they don't even really know what
18:57
you're going to but they'll fight part of the religion
18:59
comes up they'll fight for spill of they didn't
19:02
even shoes that most people speak the
19:04
language that their family speaks and never
19:06
take the time to learn another language most
19:08
of us are influenced by the decisions are parents
19:10
teachers and friends have made and then the limitations
19:13
set by them on themselves and
19:15
and for us a bet that of i asked your five
19:17
closest associates about their goals are
19:20
probably be older than a bar your goals as
19:22
well you and your goals are manipulated
19:24
by your surroundings i will never tell a person
19:27
what his or her goal should be that would be wrong
19:29
for me today however i would advise
19:31
that would you do set your goals take into account
19:33
that you've been educated with restrictions and
19:36
limitations be aware this so that you
19:38
don't underestimate your possibilities to take
19:40
the following into account you're setting your goals
19:42
for you not for anyone else number
19:44
two anything is possible number
19:46
three you have much more potential
19:48
than you realize for success
19:50
is your duty obligation the responsibility
19:53
fox there is no shortage of success
19:56
six regardless of the size
19:58
of the goal it will run our work
20:00
period once you've review these concepts
20:03
and sit down and write down your goals right
20:05
amount for you maybe for the first stop and then
20:07
be willing to rewrite them every day until
20:09
you achieve them or maybe just come
20:12
up short a promise you'll be pleased
20:14
if they're big enough if you underestimate
20:16
your potential while you're writing them which
20:18
is probably going to happen when it's impossible
20:21
to set appropriately sized targets
20:23
you follow me look if you've underestimated your
20:25
potential did it's impossible to set
20:27
up properly says targets
20:30
for what your potential is set to go
20:32
to small and you won't europe
20:34
for the massive actually necessary i know the concept
20:36
of the ten extra was not for everyone i know that
20:38
is cool enough for anyone who's wonder except
20:41
average or mediocrity or
20:43
for those prefer to kick back and settle for
20:45
leftovers is not for those who want to depend
20:47
on hope and prayer for their success the
20:49
to ten extra was meant for the few people obsessed
20:52
with credit exceptional life and who want
20:54
to be in charge of that process
20:56
the ten x will remove the concepts are locked
20:58
and stance from your business equations and so
21:01
zigzag mindset you must embrace in
21:03
order to lock in massive success
21:05
consider the following scenario let's
21:08
say that you're setting your financial goals game
21:10
two thousand that the remember when our financial
21:12
goes you're setting right now they've been influenced by
21:14
your education your upbringing the newspapers
21:16
you read everything you've worked in two thousand and
21:18
the prison in the states at that time said
21:21
anyone who makes two hundred fifty thousand dollars should
21:23
be considered rich keeping with the current friend
21:26
if you may two hundred fifty thousand dollars your tax
21:28
will be one hundred grand regardless of the state
21:30
you live in leaving you with one hundred fifty thousand
21:32
after you make payments on two cars that most
21:34
of you have make a mortgage payment most of
21:36
us pay your property taxes which you have
21:38
to pay guess feed clothe schools
21:41
your kids you're going to be lucky to have twenty grand
21:43
left over if you say that money for the next
21:45
twenty years you'll end up with about four hundred grand
21:47
before interest and assume
21:49
assume nothing goes wrong the take
21:51
into account the fact that your parents possibly
21:53
both your parents and your inlaws didn't
21:56
plan for their own retirement properly they're
21:58
going to outlive their savings bob out fifteen
22:00
years and will depend on someone
22:02
in your house so they always seem to go to people
22:04
with the money to take your them if this
22:07
happens you're gonna find out quite quickly
22:09
and too late did you underestimated
22:11
your financial goals you spend more time
22:14
to find a man it's holding on to
22:16
it than what it took to accumulated
22:18
said remember in addition to taking care of your parents
22:21
yeah to fund your own retirement years and your
22:23
kids' education additionally the
22:25
scenario assumes know increases in the cost
22:27
of living know bad news know inflation
22:29
nodes merchants is no major events
22:32
so it's just a little what has happened in the last couple
22:34
years hate to the last couple of months
22:36
and you'll see that ninety percent of the population is
22:38
under estimated their goals their targets
22:41
and even what was necessary to fund a lifestyle
22:43
much less their purposes small
22:45
thank you baby is a disaster waiting
22:47
to happen and it's always gonna punish sooner
22:50
or later we live on a planet where the primary
22:52
belief is an underestimation
22:54
of everything you understand
22:56
that your friends or associates
22:59
your parents did the school you went
23:01
to there's an underestimation of
23:03
everything the best business
23:05
schools in this country site undercapitalization
23:08
is in funded company enough as one of the
23:10
top reasons for company failures this
23:13
is cause bob miscalculations the how much
23:15
cash company would burn through before
23:17
product caught on and is yet another
23:19
example our average doesn't cut it companies
23:22
fail because it in selling up their products period
23:25
they underestimated how hard it was
23:27
going to be to get their product to the marketplace fast
23:29
enough the biggest regret of my life has not affected
23:31
i haven't worked my ass off dude i did
23:34
the mass of action thing i've been cranking for
23:36
twenty five years throat for books
23:38
in the last two years that's not the problem
23:40
for me the biggest complaint i have the biggest regret
23:43
of my life is that i didn't set targets
23:45
ten times higher than i originally thought when
23:47
i drained of how much money should have been taken
23:50
in the beginning bit but i was influenced
23:52
by mark bring my goals were influence
23:54
and limited greatly by the way i was brought
23:56
up and years have been to you just gotta
23:58
know what i'm not blaming anyone the
24:00
fact i spent the first thirty years of my business
24:02
career getting a ten x ever part right
24:04
the effort and i'm a spend the next twenty five
24:06
years getting that cynics goal setting
24:09
part right weren't thinking big enough and i'm
24:11
telling you start right in the stuff down now right
24:13
right now a year from now you'll be writing different targets
24:15
because you'll accomplice the one from a year ago so
24:18
number one set to next targets for goals
24:20
find out what your target is ten exit aligned
24:23
them with other purposes number to write
24:25
them down every day when you wake up and before
24:27
you go to sleep you do that guarantee
24:29
a live at act operate even
24:32
attract new friends played
24:34
a different level it might help provide customers
24:36
with choices competition would and would compel
24:38
others to do better does through competitions
24:41
probably good athletics because it makes another
24:43
got run faster however in the business
24:46
world you always want to be in a position to dominate
24:48
not compete if he had a choice even
24:50
in athletics i'd rather dominated found the club
24:53
if the old saying competition a self
24:55
the ist es even through the new saying
24:57
is if competition is healthy than
24:59
domination his immunity community
25:01
means i never get sick or not
25:03
at risk from what i've seen competing with
25:05
others limits a person's ability to think creatively
25:08
because here see is constantly watching competing
25:11
with what someone else is doing the reason
25:13
my first business has been so successful is
25:16
because i create a sales program the introduce
25:18
a truly original we're selling for
25:20
which there was no competition there was a new
25:22
way a new thing it was clearly a new way
25:24
to sake and a new way to approach selling
25:26
the people found that interesting know
25:29
in addition to that it also work okay
25:31
no one had done anything new was selling
25:33
others insist copy or compete
25:36
by the way coffee is competing no one
25:38
had done is a new was selling for more than two hundred years
25:40
so i ignored the competition actually
25:42
threw away everything else i'd ever read
25:44
on selling and did something to create
25:46
a new sales process called information
25:49
assisted selling it is back in the nannies
25:51
before the internet giving people information
25:53
at that time was not really part of selling
25:56
it was about a boy as was before net
25:58
before customers that information read the available
26:00
for google searches before social
26:02
media but i predicted the sellers
26:05
would have to throw away the old way of selling
26:07
and learn how to use information to assist
26:09
the sale although i was head of my time
26:11
and traditional thinkers resisted once
26:13
the internet hit critical mass information
26:16
assistant selling became a way of selling for
26:18
many industries and my competition
26:20
was left holding on to antiquated systems
26:22
and processes what they do
26:24
they started copying me copying
26:26
is a form of competing in competition
26:29
is dead i came out on top because
26:31
people were thrilled to see something completely
26:33
new forward thinkers don't copy they
26:35
don't compete forward thinkers create
26:38
they also don't look at what others have done
26:41
if steve jobs with apple computer
26:43
and this'll date the books in or later if
26:45
you look at his ipad for what other people
26:48
had done he wouldn't have created an ipad
26:50
never make it your goal to compete instead do
26:52
everything you can dominate your sector
26:54
in order to avoid spending your time chasing
26:57
are competing with someone else competition
26:59
is for sissies domination is
27:01
where you want to be don't let another company
27:03
set the pace make this your organization's
27:06
job to set the pace for the whole
27:08
sector stay ahead of the pack when
27:10
i'm driving down the interstate i speed
27:13
i break the law and i definitely do speed
27:15
why because i don't want to be driving with other people
27:17
i want to be way out ahead no rx out there
27:19
make it so that you want others to chase you
27:21
be out ahead so others probably
27:23
be like not the other way around
27:26
this doesn't mean that you shouldn't study others you
27:28
should study best practices industry
27:30
trends what's working what's winning
27:33
however you want to make it your job
27:35
to take those concepts to another level
27:37
for example apple makes computers and smartphones
27:39
it didn't copy dell i b m
27:41
ram and what others were doing apple
27:44
doesn't compete at dominates it
27:46
sets the pace and it lets others
27:48
try to chase and duplicate them
27:50
see there are always chasing trying to catch up
27:52
don't set your goals at a competitive level
27:55
sentiment of domination level set them at a level
27:57
that will overshadow and dominate your cetera
27:59
and every one it it how do you dominate
28:02
how do you do this you may wonder the first step
28:04
is to decide to dominate metics
28:06
you think about competition but you can't dominate
28:09
the best way to dominate is to do what other
28:11
people refused to do step to do
28:13
what others refuse to do that's right to do
28:15
what they want to do what they
28:17
say that that's our you can't do that does
28:20
not gonna work case you want to do what other
28:22
people your competition supposes will
28:24
not do this will allow you amelie
28:26
carved out a space for yourself and develop
28:28
an unfair advantage let me be
28:30
clear i want an unfair
28:33
advantage unethical but i
28:35
never played fair i want
28:37
want advantage if i can create
28:39
one though i am always ethical
28:41
i'd never ever play
28:43
fair i seek out ways in which i can get
28:45
an unfair advantage always and
28:48
one sure fire way to get
28:50
an unfair advantage is to do
28:52
what others will not to find something
28:54
they cannot do maybe because of their size
28:57
or their commitment to other projects you
28:59
can exploit that maybe they're cutting back
29:01
during a time when the economy is uncertain
29:03
i recently went through that were a competitor direct
29:05
better was cutting back i decide to spend all
29:07
my money while he was trying to conserve that because
29:09
obscurity was a bigger problem for me the money this
29:12
would be your moment to expand those spaces
29:14
when their contract in a company i was recently
29:16
working with that sells dental implants
29:19
tommy the leader in the feel had cut
29:21
their travel expenses aleck did
29:23
that all their class be contacted
29:25
by phone or over the net i
29:27
convinced the company do with they won't do man
29:30
you get an unfair advantage get a competitive
29:32
events he does gotta do what they do get
29:34
an unfair advantage we decided to dominate
29:36
by making personal contacts was
29:39
a leader which is making phone and internet
29:41
is domination manger think it's terms of domination
29:43
not competition never play by the agreed
29:46
upon norms was in your group operates
29:48
every group every industry every
29:50
sector has these agreed upon
29:53
norms that dot the ah woody conduct
29:55
the cows the sacred cows
29:57
yeah smoke the rules the norms
29:59
this brickhouse the traditions of any groups
30:02
or any industry are usually traps
30:05
that prevent that group from new ideas
30:08
power levels of greatness and
30:10
pure domination you don't want to be just in
30:12
a race you want to be the top of the list
30:14
of considerations so when they go off forbid
30:17
a we really want grant to do it butler's been
30:19
on a couple people just or grandkids as fair
30:21
enough grants close and were taken
30:23
seats even better you would like
30:25
to be the only one in the race considered
30:28
as a viable solution okay grants
30:30
the really the solution you know guys are
30:32
stunning was time good business is go agree you
30:35
have so much power in your space
30:37
that your clients your market
30:39
even your competition think
30:42
about you first every
30:44
time they make a decision i
30:46
b m did this so successful
30:49
years ago that all pcs
30:51
within referred to as rbs
30:54
there was a time when
30:56
xerox also accomplices
30:58
so successfully fit all copiers
31:01
were referred to as the rocks they
31:04
wouldn't even say print copy mates copy mates
31:06
copy that's pure domination of a sector
31:09
and not correctly protecting your trademark
31:12
name like xerox and i b m didn't do
31:14
or that's another issue not a goal
31:17
and my sales training company is not to compete
31:19
with others in the space for the revenue
31:22
of the class our goal is to
31:24
literary make sure that every human being on planners
31:26
equates grant card own with sales
31:29
training solutions the achievable
31:31
probably not target we used
31:33
for making decisions he understands it's
31:35
a target we use for make a decision says
31:38
hey should we promote his book out should we do
31:40
whatever should we get an a a we should we get an app
31:42
out for sales training or closing the sale
31:44
or it's gonna cost money for what's our goal
31:47
my goal is to get everyone to quite mundane
31:49
grant carter was sales training if i see
31:51
be even part of that to accomplish goals absolutely
31:54
domination or goes to dominate
31:56
the thinking of all people so the money become
31:58
synonymous with sales google
32:00
the term sales motivation and watch my
32:02
video pop up think in terms of search
32:05
you're going to think in terms of google they dominate that
32:07
is the way to approach a sector gold or endeavor
32:09
to own it completely dominate the space
32:12
you can always learn from what others are doing you don't
32:14
want to chase them sam walton founder of
32:16
walmart was said to shop other stores weekly
32:18
in order to see what they were doing well
32:20
and then he would do everything he could to dominate that
32:22
space at that time he also had the
32:24
goal of domination not the goal the competition
32:27
if you're going to duplicate the best of what others
32:29
do then hammer away at them champion
32:31
that practice make it yours one it
32:34
so people start to associate your name with
32:36
that hone their specialties and feel
32:38
they become your advantage do
32:40
so to the point where you become the expert
32:42
the leader people even think you were the creator
32:44
even if you weren't in that era so you dominate
32:47
is so incredibly that they no longer
32:49
even want to attempt competing
32:51
with you and you don't have to be first to
32:53
space to dominate it but it's important to be
32:55
considered first in the space you see
32:57
the difference joe create
32:59
something thirst but when you think about
33:01
it you think about me first you don't have to
33:03
be first you want to be considered first
33:05
test domination the message you want
33:07
to send the marketplace to you're persistent
33:09
action is no one can keep up
33:12
with me on not going away
33:14
i am not a competitor i
33:16
am the space most
33:18
of you will have less money than some
33:20
of the leaders in your space even if you have
33:23
less money than the other players and your market that
33:25
doesn't mean you're to disadvantages image
33:27
you have fewer choices which might be good although
33:29
they may be able to outspend your our advertise
33:32
youths you can certainly out worked in by
33:34
using social media personal visits
33:36
mail email networking phone
33:38
call friends relatives referrals
33:41
hammer commitment dominate
33:44
craig campaigns using the resources you do
33:46

34:22
to dominate your thinking phone calls
34:24
personal visits combinations counter
34:26

and then your presence in that market warning
34:33
when using activity to counter
34:35
deep pockets you know those guys
34:38

34:40
how much activity actually takes to get
34:42

36:14
and found ourselves getting requests from people who
36:16
wanted to be removed from our email campaign

36:50
and average of twelve times a day each of
36:53
them was written by me and they were set out to
36:55
be dropped at a certain time although you might
36:57
assume it's complaints and unsubscribed
36:59
us when i was looking for a few minutes would increase
37:01
with this massive outflow campaign they
37:03
didn't a while we did increased numbers
37:06
percentage wise we didn't because we started getting
37:08

37:30
bitch staff where do you find the time
37:33
you ever rest and for every person
37:35
com any for had to be a thousand thinking
37:37
something similar who do you think
37:40
they were thinking about this was an
37:42
expensive to do so only costs energy
37:44
effort and creativity the
37:46
same time i was doing this the guy who
37:48
most people compared me to
37:51
was asked the question what do you
37:53
think about social media and he
37:55
responded i'm still evaluating
37:57
it while he's evaluating feeding
38:00
him to death i'm posting one
38:02
day on twitter i'm gonna make twitter
38:05
my little bits are doing everything
38:07
i can to tweet something to grab attention this
38:09
is a great example of domination and outrageous
38:12
statements and the accents costs
38:14
no money think about domination like
38:16
this you can't dominate if you don't penetrate
38:18
and you will penetrate by using reasonable
38:20
levels of activity your biggest
38:22
the problem remembers what obscurity
38:24
they don't know you may and they think
38:26
the out you again domination is about
38:28
dominating the space to the way think about your
38:30
space this a you do apple
38:33
pies they think about apple pie they think
38:35
about oh i gotta go to her another
38:37
problem fraud this is just getting to the amount
38:39
of noise in the marketplace you're underestimating
38:42
how noisy the marketplaces you have
38:44
to do two things one get noticed a number
38:46
to get through the noise in my case
38:48
have we made a decision to back off like my
38:50
employees would tell him to satisfy a few complain
38:53
are still already unsubscribed anyway
38:55
and are never going to buy anything from yale
38:57
again we would not expanded
38:59
our contact base the more posted
39:01
the more people like the more found out what people
39:04
want to hear a don't wanna hear the more
39:06
we put out the more people we hope as we
39:08
blasted on this new program we
39:10
even saw posts from competitors mocking
39:12
me that this is in part you want
39:14
criticism and you want to look for it yet
39:17
even these comments brought attention
39:19
to who i got competitors card
39:21
own thinks this ricardo doing that or what's
39:23
he doing over there are guys who they talking
39:25
about they're talking about mates when you're talking
39:27
about me who you think about two things will happen
39:29
when you take the right amount x one you're gonna get
39:32
a new set of problems and to your
39:34
competition actually start
39:36
promoting you did you believe
39:38
it or not this when i made
39:40
such an impact on others who
39:42
don't even know me for having conversations
39:45
the raise awareness about my business my
39:47
products and what i'm up to people the don't
39:49
even know my product for me or actually passing
39:52
on my content and talking about age to see
39:54
this because there's enough activity determine
39:56
the capability the actions and mindset
39:59
no home you compete with do
40:02
what they will not do go where they will not
40:04
go and see can take actions and ten
40:06
x quantities that they can't comprehend
40:08
don't get too involved and competing
40:10
on best practices because best
40:12
practices is a competitive level
40:15
take your access to a point considered
40:17
unreasonable bothers even
40:19
the world where you're doing those things that only
40:21
your company would do only you can
40:24
see boss and are willing to do
40:26
something i call only practices
40:30
one company i want consulted with we identified
40:32
places in which only practices
40:34
could be employed we
40:37
discovered the industry in general struggled
40:39
with practices of following up with
40:41
customers they struggled with this practice
40:43
they didn't follow up so
40:45
we looked at what our competitors would not
40:48
do not what they did do but not
40:50
do and found that none of them would call
40:52
back class as they left the company
40:54
for the store this led the company tommy
40:56
lee initiate programs doing which
40:58
clients were called back as they
41:00
drove away from
41:02
the company managers didn't immediately started
41:05
calling clot cell phones as they
41:07
left the company premises and ask
41:09
them mr johnson would you please
41:11
return mr johnson's only a block away from
41:13
the company right now if the call went to voicemail
41:15
the manager left a message requested the please come back
41:17
amelia have something on my so you are the manager
41:19
would send a text saying the same thing if they were
41:22
there was no successful contact made another
41:24
manager would then repeat the call back that
41:26
same day energy in the next morning the results
41:29
were sick they were crazy fifty percent
41:31
of the class returned immediately of
41:33
the ones that contact and skin almost eighty
41:35
percent and toll of those became bars
41:37
at that time another twenty percent
41:40
record as a result of the later calls and
41:42
increase the sales of that organizations
41:44
to a new an unseen
41:46
before levels this is an example
41:48
of an only practice doing what
41:50
your competition will not do look it doesn't
41:52
matter what you do it doesn't matter that your
41:55
goal is to dominate your sector with axes
41:57
their immediate consistent and persistent
42:00
it level that no one else is
42:02
willing to operate or duplicate move
42:04

42:06
damn and i'm going to do all this could you gonna
42:08
get on my new peel baby the pill is
42:10
massive vaccine appeal is domination
42:12
take any action and take it to
42:14
another level that was separate you and
42:16
your company from everyone else that might be
42:19
in your space be want to spend every last
42:21
bit of your energy dot in the effort
42:23
and creativity or distinguish yourself
42:25

42:28
learn how to dominate by being first in
42:30
the minds of your market your class and even your competitors
42:33
market conditions won't improve until
42:35
you improve the what you think looks your economy's
42:38
not gonna get better until you get better even
42:40
if you're in a week market you suffer less when you dominate
42:43
right if you can dominate a week market
42:45
who's going to dominate when it's good if you can dominate
42:47
gray market who's gonna dominate what is bad
42:49

42:54
have become dependent and week and then
42:56
on her operate and challenging and bomb as i
42:58
love recess since man never waste a good
43:00
recession still feel sorry for the week
43:02

accents and have ever read this book they know
43:11
what they're going to end up with without even reading
43:13
this book average the marketplaces
43:15
brutalist not political is not democrats
43:18
is not republican is not independent baby
43:20
is brutal and it will punish anyone
43:22
and everyone who does not take the right
43:24
amount of acts now is your time
43:26
to shift in the making your every thought and
43:28
action aimed at dominating the sector
43:31
your market your competitions and every
43:33
thought of your potential clients quick thinking
43:35
about the competitions and quit thinking
43:37
about competing despite what everyone says
43:40
competition is not healthy competition
43:42
is for sissies i know many
43:45
of you spend your whole life try to get to the
43:47
middle class how about to tell
43:49
you the wrong go to
43:51
have an open mind you're okay i'm gonna
43:53
write an entire book on this topic one day
43:55
but for now let's just think about breaking
43:57
out of what i call the middle class
44:00
how anti i believe i can make the
44:02
case to the middle class is the group
44:04
hurt most by members thinking and
44:06
accents leaving themselves to be
44:08
the most susceptible to insecurity and pain
44:11
although this group that many people
44:13
aspire to be part of there's also the
44:15
group the seems to be the most trap most manipulated
44:18
and at most risk is the
44:20
middle class really as good a status
44:22
as you've been made to believe do you
44:24
even know what it means to be middle class of what
44:27
puts a person in this group before
44:29
you make a decision about where you're going or
44:31
the group your throbbing a belong to it
44:33
would be wise to inspect the statistics
44:35
of that group so let's look at
44:37
the incomes of the middle class reports
44:40
from wikipedia and the two thousand and eight
44:42
census adjusted the middle class income
44:44
range is somewhere between thirty five
44:47
thousand dollars to fifty thousand dollars a year
44:49
read another set of studies and these figures
44:51
are between twenty two thousand and sixty
44:54
five thousand a year it's no secret that
44:56
would be extremely difficult to live on either of
44:58
these and guns in an urban area like new
45:00
york or l a much less ever feel financially
45:02
secure this experience is not what
45:05
most people would consider a desirable
45:07
situation the middle class his
45:09
father divided into the upper and lower
45:11
middle class must be was a middle class
45:13
isn't one think that's not how it is the upper
45:16
middle class usually consists of people
45:18
who have substantial assets and
45:20
household earnings whether you know it or not over
45:23
a million dollars a year although there's nothing
45:25
to substantiate what makes the one million
45:27
dollars the mark i guess it's just sounds
45:29
good most people consider one million
45:31
to be a lot of money until they have
45:34
one million then they realize
45:36
it didn't go very far since a person's decisions
45:38
was they have a million and their considerations
45:41
tend to change their investments
45:43
change where they live changes as they
45:45
enter this new in com or this network
45:47
bracket now the people in the supposed
45:49
upper middle class occupy
45:52
noticeably car positions by
45:54
average in their offices they're
45:56
considered more stable financially than
45:59
their peers this may very well
46:01
be the case until some
46:03
sort of economic destruction occurs
46:05
like we've experience recently then
46:07
we tend to see that even this group
46:10
the upper middle class is not very
46:12
well protect admittedly members of this group
46:14
should experience a considerable rise in their incomes
46:17
due to the economic growth
46:19
of a nation in good times they have hard
46:21
disposable incomes and many of their counterparts
46:24
in the lower middle class which consists
46:26
of people who have basic educational qualifications
46:28
typically an annual incomes between
46:31
thirty and sixty thousand now looks the
46:33
lower middle class constitutes a large
46:35
part of our country's total population is
46:37
the majority this set free
46:39
boys struggles to reach the upper
46:41
middle class however when economic
46:44
hardships take hold everyone
46:46
gets pulled out a quantum on recently as
46:48
me via text message of a the
46:50
twenty six a recent months grant i gotta make
46:52
ten thousand right now before the most
46:54
over to my doors open how can i do
46:57
i happen to get this message don't us sunday
46:59

47:01
you watching the game right now he text me that yeah
47:04
yes your mp doing watching the game when you
47:06
need ten grand what do you do and taken
47:08
a sunday off to watch a football get used
47:10
to be distributed flyers spending every
47:12
second of every hour try to create income in
47:15
excess of what you need somebody
47:16
wait you need a hundred grandpa you don't need
47:18
ten you need a hundred thousand
47:20
you don't need ten dollars
47:21
because it really ten thousand to keep the doors
47:23
opening you go get it you're broke a death
47:26
grip sunday's a day for rest oh
47:28
boy shot back to you kidding it
47:30

47:32
and you had been work in the lord was talking to
47:34
the people who were short on funds bro the
47:37
lord work the other six days that's why he
47:39
said take the senator you even working
47:41
to turn off the game get off your thousand
47:43
go get the money you need quit being a middle class
47:46
late and go crazy income you need to
47:48
secure your wealthier financial freedoms
47:50
for yourself your household your company i'll
47:52
be got the message i think he did look my
47:54
client is at risk because he's been
47:56
operating based on what he needs
47:59
and therefore it's getting back unfortunately
48:02
this middle class mentality will not create
48:05
financial security the average
48:07
breaking the bank fraud up on this guy
48:09
he couldn't depend on credit anymore for
48:11
his cushion and he can now only
48:13
depend on his actions this is a
48:15
problem with many members of the middle class
48:18
they go after what they deem necessary
48:20
rather than ever going is something big
48:23
anything a source with middle can't be good most
48:25
people believe that that a comfortable middle
48:27
class life this includes home
48:30
close few cars vacation
48:32
times may be an upper management job
48:34
and some money the bank however depending
48:36
on the period in history to which
48:39
you are referring to the turn
48:41
the middle class is that a variety of meetings
48:43
many of which have been and still are
48:45
quite contradictory it has
48:48
referred to the class of people between
48:50
presence and nobility
48:52
whereas other definitions suggested
48:55
the middle class had enough capital
48:57
to rival nobles what's my points
49:00
but there's a lot of misunderstandings or what it means
49:02
to be middle class we clearly
49:04
come clearly long way from middle
49:06
class been peasants are nobles are
49:09
middle class being class rival
49:11
to the nobles but which one is it now
49:14
for example in india the
49:16
middle class is considered to be those who
49:18
reside in owner occupied property
49:21
wears a blue collar job makes
49:23
you middle class in the united states and in europe
49:25
that makes you remember the working class and
49:27
important distinction that i'd like to make is
49:30
my own reference to the middle class as
49:32
a mindset rather than an income
49:35
level someone who makes a million
49:37
dollars a year may still adopt
49:39
middle class thinking and actions
49:41
it is more of a mentality that creates a
49:44
trap they will cause you to fail the
49:46
middle class is in a large part a
49:48
goal that will not provide you
49:50
with what you truly want it is middles
49:53
normal or average synonymous
49:55
with terms we've already deemed as
49:57
highly unattractive and on
49:59
workable
50:01
oh man middle don't mean extraordinary
50:03
right but what does middle mean to
50:05
most people now days in february two
50:07
thousand and authoritative weekly
50:10
publication the economists announced
50:12
that over half the world's population
50:14
now belongs to this group the
50:16
middle class as a result of
50:18
rapid growth in emerging countries
50:21
the article characterize middle class is having
50:23
a reasonable amount of discretionary
50:25
income and not having to live from hand
50:27
to mouth as the poor does it
50:29
was defined as beginning at the point
50:31
where people have roughly a third of their income
50:34
left for discretionary spending
50:36
after paying for basic food and shelter did
50:38
that makes most of his poor not middle class
50:40
however almost no member today's middle class
50:43
has near one third of his or her income
50:45
left for discretionary income to spend
50:47
this group is currently being hammered hammer
50:49
best something called the middle class squeeze
50:52
a situation in which increases
50:55
in wages failed to keep up with the
50:57
cost of living for the same
50:59
middle class or nurse said the same
51:01
time the phenomenon of the middle class
51:03
squeeze where wages don't
51:05
keep up it fails to have the same impact
51:08
on top wage earners add to that
51:10
the fact that much of that supposed middle
51:12
classes wealth has come from assuming
51:14
debt and home equity calculations
51:17
that were mere eat do that one wealth
51:19
person's blowing into the middle class frequently
51:21
find that their dependence on credit worsened by
51:23
the collapse of the housing markets prevents
51:26
them from maintaining a middle class lifestyle
51:28
making downward mobility a threat to counteract
51:31
aspirations of upward mobility you want
51:33
to go up like you want to do better for best the gravity
51:36
and resistance i talked about early as the unexpected
51:38
conditions that are mentioned this group
51:40
in experiences middle class income
51:42
declines as jobs are lost
51:45
jobs are lost the could pay people more money
51:47
for the first time in our history we're seeing more men
51:49
lose jobs and women speakers higher paid
