Mar 14

[00:01:11] Chaz Wolfe: What's up everybody? I'm Chaz Wolf, gathering the King's podcast. I am your host, and today I have John Mitchell on the King stage, my brother John. How we doing this morning? Hey, living the dream. Living the dream. You know, it was a long time ago when I first heard that phrase. I was probably 18 or 19, went to a business conference, and I heard the phrase live in the dream. And, it's, it's stuck ever since. So, I'm, I'm curious to hear what you think about that and some of your opinions on that. But what type of business do you have? Let's [00:01:40] John Mitchell: start there. You know, I'm in the success in human achievement field and ba basically a high performance,coaching company. [00:01:48] Chaz Wolfe: Love that. And, you're, you're intertwined with,and maybe you'll mention it here in a little bit, but I know you want to have that Texas, that Texas logo behind you, but, University of Texas with the university and, and you do some teaching and stuff there. But, before we get into some of the detail of, of all of that, you're obviously, gave us kind of a, an umbrella of, you know, human success and, and all that fun stuff. And that's pretty a broad topic for you though. I'm gonna turn it, I'm gonna turn that on you and I'm gonna say, why are you doing this? Why are you even after all the success? Because this isn't the only industry you've had success in. You obviously had a long track record of success in business and we'll get to all that. But at this stage in the game, my question is, are you doing this? What's the bigger picture? We'll get you up in the morning, [00:02:33] John Mitchell: the whole deal, you know, thank you for asking that question, Chaz. You know, I do it because I feel so profoundly blessed with how my life has turned out and, and what I discovered at 50 that was so transformative. And I just feel like the way that you honor having a blessed life is by helping other people. and, you know, yeah, I talk about living the dream. I really feel like I'm living the dream and, and, you know, there were certainly hard times in the, in the past, but,sort of weathered the storm and, and got smarter and, and again, just feel so blessed for what I have and I just wanna help other people. [00:03:13] Chaz Wolfe: Yeah, I love that. we use a phrase inside of gathering the kings grateful but not done. And yeah, everything that you just said, just totally lines up with, man. I have this perspective of where I've come from and I'm thankful for it, but man, if we're not even close to being done, love that. [00:03:32] John Mitchell: You know, it's funny, Chaz, I have a, a statue in my den here that has, like, I don't know if you've seen it, it's like it's got these three guys climbing. Have you ever seen, okay. no. Keep going. But it has, you know, three guys climbing and, and so one guy's sort of going sideways. One guy's sort of going, sort of up, and then the third guy is going straight up. And I look at that every day and I'm like, you know, the, the two guys who were going sort of sideways and semi up were me in my thirties and forties. And then when I got to be in my fifties, it was straight up. And so, you know, it's a great visual every day to, to look at and, and to put my life in perspective. [00:04:11] Chaz Wolfe: Yeah. Well, and I know that you've got a specific formula. You kind of mentioned it, something that you, you learned, in your fifties that, that has been able to allow you to go straight up, but you also had a bunch of history before that as well. that, that, I wanna get into both of those. And so, okay. Do you th before we do that though, I wanna stick right here on this, on this why question just for half second, because, and I'm sure you and I could do a whole podcast on this, but Right. Just for the listener's sake, because someone, again, with your level of success, and I'm sure you'll share some numbers and stuff with us in a, in a minute, but I, there's just a Yes. Helping people like that, that that's, I know that's the real answer, but like, how did you get to that place, because that's a perspective of selflessness that maybe the listener hasn't achieved yet. And so why is that important to you? Where before, maybe it was about, you know, what that sideways looked like was maybe more money driven, or maybe it was things, or maybe it was just. Not helping people, you know what I mean? Like how did you get to the place where you gave that answer? [00:05:08] John Mitchell: You know, that's, that's interesting. I think, you know, un until you really sort of have financial security, I, and I shouldn't say everybody's this way, this is how I was, and maybe this is selfish, but, but I was like, you know, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta get where I want to be, where I have financial freedom and it's hard for me to actually help other people, as, as a, certainly as a way of life until I, I could help myself. you know, I teach, this concept of leadership, of, of self, and I'm like, you know, you can't lead others until you can lead yourself. And that was sort of the same thing with, you know, helping others. I couldn't really help 'em truly until I had sort of achieved, financial, freedom or, or was well on the way to that. [00:05:55] Chaz Wolfe: Yeah, and I agree with you. I think that, you know, you can help people before maybe you're in financial freedom, but not as a way of a lifestyle. And I loved how you, you gave that as a perspective there, because it's true. You can't, you can't think much beyond yourself, let alone actually do beyond yourself until you have the freedom to be able to do that. And so I think that that financial success that you're referring to actually give us, gives us the mental space, the capacity to be able to say, okay, I can now I can help two or 10 or or 20 or a whole community or a whole city. [00:06:29] John Mitchell: You know, Chaz, that's a great point. And I remember the first time I crossed over to netting a million dollars a year, I re I remember I was so thankful, that I ended up starting a foundation for single moms. Now, I wasn't, you know, I wasn't at that point, financially independent, but I could tell I was gonna get there pretty quick and, and just that, you know, pure feeling of being so freaking grateful after, you know, 20 years of, of hard work, of not really 30 years of hard work all coming to fruition. It was just, you know, starting a foundation for single moms was my first step at helping other. [00:07:11] Chaz Wolfe: I love that. I come from a single mom, family and, uh, yeah. Been on the board of a single mom ministry and that, that's a, a close place to my heart as well. So maybe we'll talk about that a little bit further. Yeah. But, but you're right. it can be both. But when you, when you get to that place, and I think this is the encouragement to the listener, is that when you get to that place of, you know, building a certain foundation, it provides in the stability, not just for you, but for the others that are around you. And, and now we're talking about king mindset, right? It's, yeah. It's not, it's not warrior. It's not, you're in the battle trying to, you know, survive. You as the king now have the weight for all these people or things around you. And, and at that stage it's not a burden. It's actually like, no, no, no. Give it to me. I'll take [00:07:51] John Mitchell: it. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. [00:07:54] Chaz Wolfe: Well, let's get into your story a little bit. Okay. You got, you got some history and, some ups and downs, I'm sure, but give us just a little bit, John, give us a, like Okay. A little bit of a overview of, of where you came from and, and, and how you got to where [00:08:06] John Mitchell: you are today. Okay. Well, Chaz, I started out as a C p A and then became an entrepreneur. At 30. I realized I didn't want to be an accountant all my life, and, but. You know, when I turned 50, I just wasn't as successful as I thought I'd I should be. And, and you know, I was in, in my thirties and forties, like seven or eight different businesses and, you know, and really I had two goals in my life to make enough money so I didn't have to work and to find the woman in my dreams. And so at 50 has fallen, fallen short on both of them. Wow. And you. On the money, Chaz, I always made, I don't know, 200, 300,000 a year, but at 50, and I know this sounds materialistic, but I realized I had to start netting over a million dollars a year to really have that exceptional life that I always dreamed of. Yeah. And, and on the girl at 50, I'd never been married, although I must say I did a lot of interviewing. you know, of course I called it interviewing my friends called it begging. But, , I, I preferred interviewing, but anyway, you know, at 50 I'm like, puzzled as how am I gonna change things? Yeah. And then a Pearl of Wisdom came to me, I don't know, maybe three months after I turned 50. And it was, you'll find the top book in the World on Success and apply that book, literally word for word to my life. And so immediately it's, this idea comes to me, I jump out of bed and start doing the research. And to my surprise, there's one book that's been read by over a hundred million people. Yeah. And the next best selling book on success been read by less than 10 million people. And that book is Thinking Grow Rich, and you know exactly what I was looking for. And so Chaz like, the next day, I'm like a heat-seeking missile. I went to the bookstore and bought the book and read the book. And then I saw the problem book says there's a secret for success, but the author only gives you half of the secret. Yeah. It's on the reader to figure out the other half. That's right. Oh, great. . You know, I, I, I, knew I needed the full secret and so I'm disappointed and I mope around for a couple of weeks and then one day, Chaz, I just get up and I go, John, you know, man up. Just figure out the full secret and a practical way to apply it. And so over the next couple months, I just immersed myself in the book, you know, night and day. And what emerged was I figured out the full secret in a 12 minute a day technique to apply it. And I, started applying it to a new business. I started in the reverse mortgage business. And quickly my income starts doubling and doubling and doubling to the point where four years later I was making, you know, 25 times the 200 to $300,000 a year. I'd made the prior 20 years. And of course, I felt so blessed and, and, but Chaz what was cool is I could see why it was all happening. I was just playing the game of life at a higher level and, and I could feel it and, and I could do things I, I couldn't do before. And I just became fascinated by the fact that you could take two key scientific principles and apply 'em to a person's life, and so materially impact their income. And so that's, that's my story. But, but if I could, could I explain to you why the 12 minute day [00:11:37] Chaz Wolfe: technique worked? Yeah, please. Yeah. Yeah. Give us, give us the juice here. I think that, you've all got us on our, on our hands and hands and, on the edge of the seats here. [00:11:45] John Mitchell: So, so here's why it works. It's really three things. First, it focuses you only on what moves the needle. All distractions both go by the wayside. Then the second thing I saw was that it tripled my discipline. Mm-hmm. , you know, then I can, could do those key habits that maybe I couldn't do before. And then the third thing is I had a, a level of control over my life beyond what I'd ever experienced before and. Truly, it felt like I had a superpower because I have, and because the right actions started happening automatically without thinking because I had rewired my autopilot. Yes. And as to credibility, you know, when I, when I, you know, I, I, I, this is about nine years ago, I tell my story to the former chancellor and president at the University of Texas and he says, Hey, you gotta thesis at, the University of Texas, and why don't we teach it together? And so that's what I do today. I teach it to high achievers, both, both students and entrepreneurs, but with the entrepreneurs, I, when I teach it to 'em, I give them a money back guarantee that if I can't double their income within a year, I'll give 'em their money back. And I just show, show 'em how to play the game of life at a hundred percent of their potential, rather than 10 to 20%, as most people [00:13:08] Chaz Wolfe: do. Yeah. Well, that's an incredible opportunity. I'm sure you've already captured the attention of some of the listeners and, and, they'll be looking to connect with you afterwards. But there, as I told you before, you know, we hit the record button. it is the one book that I read every single year. And so I think that, we'll have a lot to discuss here. But, in inside of the, the businesses that you had before, you mentioned, you know, 30 and 40, you were, you know, maybe upwards, but, but sideways. right, right. I, I wanna know some of those decisions as well. and then, and then maybe we'll talk about what it looks like to go straight up, right. I'd like to maybe utilize that opportunity because, because you're in a unique position, not only where you've done it, but then you also, teach others how to do it as well. So we want to take advantage of, of, of your knowledge. And so let's go, let's go sideways or kind of upward, sideways. Give me, gimme a good decision that you made in that frame of life. That, that you can look back on that's super practical that the listener can, can draw something from? [00:14:04] John Mitchell: Well, you know, I th I think the, the good decision that I made probably at 28 was deciding to be a, an entrepreneur. Sure. and, you know, to, to some degree, I think it was driven by, I had bosses that I didn't like. I mean, I just, you know, I didn't think they were that sharp. Of course. What do I know at, at 27 or 28? But, [00:14:27] Chaz Wolfe: you know, a little bit of, a little bit of arrogance. I think we can all relate to . [00:14:29] John Mitchell: Right, right. But, but you know, I mean, you know, if you like somebody or not, and, and, I'm like, really? I'm gonna let other people control my destiny. I don't think so. [00:14:40] Chaz Wolfe: Yeah, well, the, we all have to have those moments and for whatever reason we begin. And so you, you began your journey. What a, what about, what about in, in today's like, upward trajectory, what's that good decision? Obviously you've kind of associated it to this 12 steps, but give us something super practical that the listener can take away right now. Something easy that they can implement or a decision, decision that you've made to, that's led to success. [00:15:04] John Mitchell: Okay. That's, that's, you know, I think the, the decision obviously was having, you know, the presence of mind to go find the top book in the world on success and figure out the full secret and how to apply it, but, right. But I'll give you something a little more practical. one of the things I, I learned is how to set aside time two times a week to deep think, to deep think, you know, this is a habit. The, the, you know, Great entrepreneurs of our time to Elon Musk, bill Gates, and, and I think Chaz is particularly interesting today because as a society we're a bunch of shallow thinkers. That's the effect Of the scroll through culture. We live in that people do not think deep. And so I have sort of a three step process that I teach people how to deep think. And it takes, you know, about 30 minutes, 2x a week. And it has been so transformative in my life, that, you know, and, and it's, it's reaffirmed in my 12 minute day technique, but such a game changer. I, I can remember one particular idea that, I was blessed to net $6 million from, I just had a client of mine that, this one idea, netted him an extra, 2 million a year. So, you know, it's just a powerful technique. [00:16:31] Chaz Wolfe: Yeah. Well, I love, I love that you've aligned yourself with, with that. There's obviously, many things that can come out of think time. I too have a think time on my calendar, but I think that even the structure of how you go through that can sometimes, Overwhelming, underwhelming. It kind of depends on, on maybe the person's, you know, experience leading up to that time and and then all the things that they have going on. So, you know, what would you say for that person who's listening right now who maybe doesn't have a big business yet, and you know, they are hearing you tell them that there's a technique specifically, they, they don't know it yet, they're gonna have to reach out to for that, but to put thinking time on their calendar and they're thinking, I don't even have time to eat lunch. H how am I gonna put time on the calendar, John, think . [00:17:17] John Mitchell: I don't buy that for a frigging second. good. You know, I'll tell you, I, I, you know, if you, here's a ago, I gotta know Tony Robbins and I was telling him about this and he says if they don't have 12 minutes a day, they don't have a life. And I'm like, yeah, I buy that. Yeah. [00:17:37] Chaz Wolfe: So there's just make time, right? Because people do what they want [00:17:41] John Mitchell: to do. Well, you know, people are doing so many things that just are immaterial. You know, I remember when I had a company of 175 people, I'm looking around and I'm like, you know, only about 5% of what we're doing really moves the needle. The other 95% really doesn't move the needle. Why don't I just focus on that? And that's true of the vast majority of people. Don't you think? Oh, I [00:18:09] Chaz Wolfe: agree completely. How does one that maybe doesn't, I mean, they're, they're in that I don't have a life stage, right? Where they're chasing tail and mm-hmm. , you know, sun up to sundown feeling. How do they get to the perspective where they can identify that 5% so they can focus and dial down? [00:18:28] John Mitchell: Well, you know, I think it starts by realizing that if you keep on doing what you're doing, you're gonna keep on getting what you're getting. And so if you're happy with that, More power to you, you're not happy with that, then you gotta start somewhere doing something different. And, and this, this thinking time idea to me is, is this sort of the starting point of what I really, really teach. And, and you know, you'll see once you s once you learn this technique for thinking, it'll drive you to figure out what moves the, the needle. You know, that's one of the key aspects of it is, is you ask yourself a question. Well, the first question I always encourage my clients to, to ask is what moves the needle in my business or in my life? You know? And, you know, and sometimes it's, it's,like in their life, it's like, you know, I'm single. I need to find a mate. Well, okay, that, yeah, that, that would move the needle if you found a great mate. Right? And then if it's in your business, you, you know, you can dig into that and you'll see it if you look for it. [00:19:40] Chaz Wolfe: Yeah. Yeah. We do find what we're looking for. And, and you had even mentioned it earlier when you were talking about thinking grow rich. You know, the author doesn't just spell it out. right. He, he leaves room for you to be able to, you know, connect the dots, which makes it even more powerful for you because now it's you that connected them. But that's how it works, is that you have to lead yourself to a place where there isn't necessarily a, a, a three-step formula. You could have a three-step formula to get to that place. Right. But that place is up here. Exactly. , [00:20:13] John Mitchell: you know. Exactly. You know, you maybe, maybe that now would be a good time maybe to share sort of how I discovered the secret and what the secret actually is. Sure. Yeah. Lay it on us. Well, and, and here's something I didn't share with you in when I was telling you my story at 50. You know, my mom was dying of pancreatic cancer at 50. Wow. And, I was living in Dallas at the time, and, so as I'm, you know, feeling the scarcity of time and feeling this, unhappiness with, my, my life, she's dying of pancreatic cancer. And so every day, Chaz, I'd go see her, after work and I'd, you know, hold her hand and love on her. And then I'd walk out in that cold, dark parking lot and just cry my eyes out, like for 30 minutes every night. And, you know, I didn't want her to see me crying, because I knew she would know she was dying. I'm sure she knew it anyway, but Yeah. and so this goes on every night. and, you know, I'd never had that type of, of, emotional upheaval. On a, on a daily basis. And obviously it was happening because I was losing my mom, but, but I knew there was something more to it than that. And, you know, as I started thinking about that, I realized that I, I felt like I was letting my mom down with my life because my mom and dad gave me everything. They, they sent me to Jesuit High School in Dallas. They sent me to the University of Texas and I didn't have to work. And, you know, I'm like, all I've got to show for it is an average life. And Chaz, I hated the average life. Yeah. Because I, I just knew I was capable of so much more. That's right. And, and you know, I see that, that, that feeling. Was like rocket fuel and causing me to go deeper into Think and grow Rich than anybody else on the planet. And that's why I think I was blessed to figure out the full secret when other people couldn't. I just had this intense motivation and like I said, I probably read the book 20 times, in like a two month period of time. Yeah. And you know, I remember, the night that I really figured out the full secret and it was, it was snowing that night, which didn't happen very often in Dallas. And, and so, you know, I'd gone to the hospital and I'd seen my mom and I'm in the car crying and now I'm starting to drive home and I, you know, I see those big snowflakes hitting the car. And so Chaz, I get home and I pick up thinking Grow rich. And I, I start reading it and,It says that your success in life comes down to your daily actions. The, the cumulative effect of your daily actions determine your success in each area of your life. Yeah. Like, okay. Never really thought about it like that, but I'm by that. And then it said something that surprised me. It says that, 95% of your daily actions are unconscious. I'm like, huh, okay. So I'm, now I'm, I'm sort of tired and I'm ready to go to bed, and so I brush my teeth and wash my face and, get in bed, but I can't stop thinking about 95% of my daily actions are unconscious. And I'm like, well, wait a minute. You know, if my daily actions are what determining is determining my success, and 95% of them are unconscious, then I don't control the very thing that determines my success. And I then realized, well, I know I control something. Ah, I control my intentions. I control, I control my intentions. And I saw that to control my daily actions, I had to rewire my autopilot. And that's why in my story when I said, then the right actions happen automatically without thinking. Yep. That was why it, why it was happening. cuz I had rewired my autopilot. Yeah. And, and so as, as now that sort of came together, then if it just felt like almost ma magically, the full secret came to me. And, and here's the, the part of the secret Napoleon Hill gives us is that everything starts with a thought. Well, when I read that, I'm like, well, yeah, but where do I go with that? And then I realized, here's the full secret of thinking grow rich. What you envision in detail with emotion on a daily basis is what shows up in your life. And let me say that again. Yes, I do. What you envision in detail with emotion on a daily basis is what shows up in your life. And what that really means is you take your life and you create immense clarity about it. You know exactly the person you wanna be, exactly what you wanna accomplish, and precisely how you're gonna achieve your clearly defined goals. Yeah. And so you take all that clarity and I put it on a template so that it only took 12 minutes, a day to read. And then you start feeding that clarity to yourself every day. And it takes 12 minutes a day. And after 21 days, sort of the magic happens, the science kicks in. And what you're feeding yourself truly does start showing up in your thoughts and actions automatically. And, and once you do this, three things sort of happen. I found, first you have an immense sense of control over your life because of course you would, if you're feeding the succinct articulation of your life to yourself every day of, of course you would feel control. Yep. And then the second thing you, you feel is confidence, because, you know, that's that sense of control if you, you know, if you, if you're not confidence, cuz you don't feel in control, right? And so that's the power of creating this sense of control. And then the, then the third thing is, you know, you're a, just able to do things you couldn't do before. And that's, that's why I said earlier that, that, you know, you go. Operating at at 10 to 20% of your potential to a hundred percent. And, and you can feel it. So that's how it works. [00:26:51] Chaz Wolfe: Yeah. I mean, you, you gave us, a lot more and a lot more detail than, than I anticipated. So I hope that the listener, just takes my advice right now and hits the pause button. hits the rewind button, , and, listens to John again because he's given you the exact script. Napoleon gave the exact script, but John's given you the, the really understandable version. And so, I just, I can tell you from this side of the microphone that I've applied these same principles and have gotten the same results. In fact, even in sales for, for many, many years, I would talk about these, you know, writing down the target and writing down the certain things and saying them to yourselves just like he, like, like he talks about in the book. And, what it does is it builds confidence. Confidence is the ultimate drug, right? And, and it, and it, and it puts you into taking action. And then that gets you a little bit of result and a little bit of result, you go, Hey, o I feel control because I did this and I took a little action and I get a little result. Makes me wanna do a little bit more. And so I just love the upward su the upward spiral that it creates. and it all starts from you or in this case, your thought as you said earlier. I love how too, you didn't say this, but, I, I just want to give a, like an attaboy to you, but it's really because the listener can do the exact same thing. You're burning desire to change something is what led you to the book. What led you to like really dive in? Like not just read it once, skim over it, write a couple notes and move on, right? It was this imminent, like this thing, and he talks about it in the book. And that, that part is then what fuels obviously the rest. And you can get clarity and you can put, put together a plan and all the stuff that comes after that. But if you, if you aren't attached to something, . If you don't really want it , then you're just gonna read the book, skim it and move on and go back to how things were they, you know, like they were before. And so I loved how you started this whole conversation off with, well first off, , if you're happy doing the thing, [00:28:46] John Mitchell: how Or do [00:28:47] Chaz Wolfe: you Yeah, yeah. Right. Because cuz if you're not happy, then that, that's the, that's the beginning thought of something. [00:28:55] John Mitchell: Well, you know, Chaz, it is interesting, this, this is for high achievers, and, and I'll tell you, I, I know you, I know you're a high achiever. I have no doubt about that. but you'll find this interesting. So a few years ago I thought, you know, I'm gonna go find the top expert in the world on success and see what they think about it, you know, whoever he or she might be. And, so I decide that Darren Hardy is the top expert in the world on success. So I go and I write a big check, and I spend three days with Darren and I show him what I created and I took my template and I, he looks at it and goes, wow, this is, this is really good because John. People aren't gonna spend 12 minutes a day on this . And I'm like, Darren, how the heck can that be at 25 x my income? Right? time Magazine did a cover story on the science behind it. we're applying the central concepts of the top book world on, on Success. He goes, well, John, you know, you're, you're new to the success industry. He says, the dirty little secret is that most people won't do anything to impact their success. And he says, you only need to show this to people that are really driven. He says, it's really only about 2% of people out there. And you know, when I heard that, I'm like, wow. You know, that doesn't seem right to me, but he knows more than I do. He's been in this business and boy was he not correct, you know? And, and so that's why I'm like, I'm only working with people that are really driven and that are serious, you know, because my time's valuable as is theirs. But, you know, you, you gotta be driven and, and most people aren't. But if you are, I love teaching it to 'em. [00:30:46] Chaz Wolfe: Exactly. It's funny too, because it's, you know, it's the person or the people, the masks that, that need it the most probably. Yeah. Right. That never do anything with it, which makes it sad, but it also allows for, you know, ultimate clarification even in what you and I do and, you know, I, I dealing with the right person. This is just marketing in general. You got the right avatar, I just, everything becomes easier. But when we're talking about a concept like this, you're a hundred percent right. If somebody doesn't want it or want success or want to grow their mind in that way, or their, the output of the input, you're just talking to a brick wall, right? And it just doesn't work. [00:31:30] John Mitchell: Well, and you know, there's another book that was written right after that Napoleon Hill wrote right after, thinging Girl Rich was, it's called Outwitting the Devil. And he talks about how you have the, the, the driven and the slackers and 98% of people are slackers. I mean, this sort of brutal to say that, but Yeah, but, and I've been thinking about this. I'm like, you know, humanity is geared to survival and, and, and to propagate the, the species. And if you have much more than 2% of people being really driven, it doesn't work. You know, God made it to work like it works and, and you know, you and I think, well, God, you know, there should be more driven people. No. That's how we're, we're geared. And, and you know, that, that brings up the other issue. that most people don't realize is that, that we are wired for survival, which, which causes the vast majority of our, of our thoughts to be fear-based and we're reactive rather than proactive on our important agenda. Yeah. And so when you combine that with the fact that 95% of your daily actions are unconscious, those two things a lot of people don't fully know. The effect of that is when you open your eyes each day, you're on autopilot most a day. Innately wired to be fear-based and reactive, which is exactly the opposite of how you want to be if you wanna be productive, creative, and happy. [00:33:02] Chaz Wolfe: Yeah, exactly. To, to your point, it keeps you in that place of average. And you already mentioned that, you hated the average life. I think that most high performers have that disdain of average. . Yeah. Like, so I think that that's where it starts. the cool part is, is that John, there's nothing, there's nothing that you and I are talking about that the, the average guy right now listening Right. Can't implement to become not average anymore. . Right. It's not like it's only for those 2% who are already there. Right. She can become, or she can become the 2% right now. Right. Uh,that's the choice that we have. Right. [00:33:38] John Mitchell: Exactly. Well, and you know, I think something that might help. Your audience is, is, giving you a practical example of how this, this works and why, why? I said it really feels like a superpower. and this happened, a while back at Christmas. one of my clients, that lived in Portland decided to come to San Antonio, which is about an hour from Austin, and it is around Christmas. And I decide I'd take my wife and we'd go out and have dinner with him and his girlfriend. And so I tell, Jen to meet me at Starbucks at like two o'clock. It's on a Friday. I get there a little early, it's Christmas. I'm like, you know, I'm gonna have a brownie. So I have a brownie, and I start eating that brownie. And, in my 12 minute day technique, I affirmed myself that I,I'm aware of everything I put in my mouth. Okay, well, I'm eating that brownie. I'm aware of it. I'm aware it doesn't taste very good. And, but I finish it and, the gin shows up. We jump in my car drive to San Antonio and I tell her, you know, I, just don't feel very good. I lost my appetite and I just don't feel that good. And so, Chaz, when I get home that night, I change one word in my,template. I call it the Life g p s template. I change it from, I'm aware of everything I put in my mouth to, I evaluate everything I put in my mouth. Well, the next night we go out and have, Mexican food with her son, and I order tacos. Tacos come and they're not very good. But this time, Chaz, I just slide those tacos away. I don't have another. And it all happened automatically without thinking. And I remember laying in bed that night and I'm like, boy, if that's not a superpower, I don't know what is. When you can make yourself take the right actions without even thinking. Right? But you, you agree with that? [00:35:36] Chaz Wolfe: Oh, I, I couldn't agree more. I think that most the, the 98% that we've been talking about, look at the two and think it's a superpower. And it is cuz it feels like that. But all it, all, it really is, is the super practical thing that you did. Not only in just the understanding of like, Ooh, I ate something. It did like to calculate, calculate. I don't wanna do that again. Make small adjustment and then adhere to small adjustment. And, it, it really is that simple. [00:36:06] John Mitchell: But, you know, here's, here's the thing to think about though. When I tell people 95% of your daily actions are unconscious, most of them do not believe it. And, and I didn't believe it either. I might add, and I mean, you can Google it and it'll say in big dark letters, 95% are, are unconscious. But what the, I, the easiest way for me to explain it is if you really look at your life, you know, can you consciously make a, take an action? Sure. Like if I decide I want to touch my forehead, I can consciously do that. But the vast majority of all the things that are going on in your daily life are unconscious. Therefore, you've gotta be wired to take the right actions. And the only way you wire yourself properly is a, is a morning routine that impacts your mindset by feeding the succinct articulation of your life and what you wanted to accomplish to yourself. That, in a nutshell is think and grow rich. Yeah. I [00:37:10] Chaz Wolfe: love what you said too, because your wordage even changed, but. Even being aware, you can be aware, like I could be aware of an unconscious move, but just because I'm aware of eating the brownie that I know I shouldn't be eating doesn't Right. Stop me from the wrong action. Yeah. Yeah. Because I'm wired in a certain way to, I want the brownie cuz I think it's gonna taste good or it's gonna give me some sort of a thing that I'm after that subconsciously I'm making the choice. [00:37:38] John Mitchell: You know? That's a very good point. I never thought about it like that, but I I like that, that you're, you're sort of aware of it, but it still doesn't stop you from doing the Yeah, exactly. You can be [00:37:49] Chaz Wolfe: aware or unaware. And I think that's where, where you said most people are in disbelief that 95% are, is unconscious. Right. Is because they think, well, no, I, I've been here all day. They think I'm asleep. Right, right. If I, if it's, if it's unconscious, it's like, no, no, no, you're, you're awake, but you eat the same five meals. Right. You go, you go to the bathroom generally at the same routine every day. You Right. I stand at my desk. I, I I like to have my, my mic right here in the corner because, or whatever. Like it's all, yeah. We just do it over and over and over again. It doesn't mean that I'm not aware of it. I know. I like my mic right there. Yeah. Right, right. But if I need to change that for some reason, I need to be more than aware, which is what you brought to us, which is, it's not just awareness. There's in another level. I have to know how to adjust it, which is the re autopilot piloting, that, that you, you've created a, a, a script for. So, I, I love where we're going. I do want to get into a, before we hit the, the, the speed round here, I wanna know of a bad decision that you've made in your career somewhere. Save us some time. John. What have you done that we shouldn't do? . [00:38:56] John Mitchell: Right? I, I've made a few bad decisions. you know, I think, I think maybe, poor decision was, when I was in my thirties, I, I got out of, the real estate business. I started out in, in real estate development around a tax shelter idea. That's what sort of launched me into being an entrepreneur. Okay. And, it, it all happened right as the, the real estate market in, in Texas was, was about to crash this back in the eighties. And, in retrospect, I see that if I had just stuck with real estate and gained, you know, ongoing experience in that and wisdom, that that would've been a great thing to do instead of going from one thing to another to another, even though I had some success in them, it, it, it wasn't as much success as I wanted. [00:39:42] Chaz Wolfe: Yeah. It's so good. it's something that I even relate to because as high performers, high achievers, as you mentioned earlier, we're capable, and we talked about this on the show a lot because you can be in a lot of areas all at once, and it feels like I'm, you know, successful, right. But not at the potential, that we both know that we have. And so would you say that, you know, whether it had been staying in real estate or just maybe the more idea of like mastering like what Yes. Like dialing in on one thing. Is, is that the principle that you're sharing [00:40:13] John Mitchell: with? Well, yes, I think so. But you know, you gotta master something that's got, long-term legs. that's right. You know, like, like, like, like in real estate, I'm a big believer in residential real estate, in, in really apartments because everybody's gotta have a place to. and, and especially with home prices going up, it makes apartments more, attractive. But, but you know, you could have gotten into the office building, business, well, that's gonna be down the tubes, basically. so it's got, and you know, in this world things are changing so quick. you know, maybe, maybe it's marketing, maybe there's always gonna be marketing, Yales a foundation for being an entrepreneur. yeah. But yeah, [00:40:53] Chaz Wolfe: all, all those things are great. I think that, you're a hundred percent right that, that a focus, but. You can't you can't spend your life in the wrong vehicle focused and expecting big results. . [00:41:04] John Mitchell: And you know, I tell you, Chaz, one of the things I get is, is from people is, well what's, what's different than with this, than everything else in the success business? Yeah. And, and I see the difference really is that everything else is strategies and, and oftentimes very good strategies I might add. Yeah. But we got strategies coming out our ears. What we've gotta have is a, is a strategy that makes the right actions happen automatically without thinking. That's, that's the game changer for with what, at least how I see it. That what I do is different than everybody else in the success. It's good. I love it. Okay. And, and you know, the, the, and I also see sometimes that people will, their objection is, well, you know, this won't work on me. This is pure science. This is leveraging you through science. It, it can't not work, you know? So, you know, I love it when somebody says, well, it won't work on me. [00:42:02] Chaz Wolfe: Well, and I would venture to say that, that they're right, that it'll work or that it won't work. based on their decision. [00:42:08] John Mitchell: Right? Yeah. Yeah. Right. Yeah, good point. You're right. [00:42:11] Chaz Wolfe: It won't work for you because you've already decided that it won't work for you. which is funny because that's how life works in general. People, people get what they find. You already told us that, you know, 15 minutes ago, you found what you were looking for because you were looking for it. Right. It, it It's not that difficult. but [00:42:27] John Mitchell: people get what, what they want. Well, and, and you know, I think one thing I've learned in, in all my years on, on the. Is, you've got to have something that gives you an edge, an an advantage. And I look at this, in fact, I'm teaching this, I don't know if I mentioned this to you, but I'm the mental coach for the, 17 head coaches, at the University of Texas. And Okay. which is a great gig. And,you know, so I'm, I'm teaching them, a lot of this and, and in particular, I. Not only the coaches, but the athletes because they're the, they're the group of students at any college that are the highest achievers. And I teach 'em, my program is called The Edge. And with the idea, I want to give you an edge in life. And because if I had learned at 21 when I learned at 50, oh man, I don't know what would, it would've been good. [00:43:19] Chaz Wolfe: Yeah, exactly. Well, you're a hundred percent right. And as entrepreneurs, as high achievers, we're always looking for an advantage. We're always looking for the edge. Right? And so, that's a hundred percent right. And, that's, it's exactly why someone's listening today. It's exactly why you and I are even on the pod, because there's Right, an advantage that I can get from you and you from me just simply being here today, whether nobody was listening to it or not. You're right. Okay, in the speed round here, John, I wanna ask you some questions that I ask every single guest. Okay? And, and you can, you've got obviously a range of business experience, you know, industries and such, but I wanna know if you can only track one thing in business and we can go super practical or co conceptual, it doesn't matter to me, what would that one thing be? [00:43:58] John Mitchell: How many leads are coming in each week? Easy [00:44:01] Chaz Wolfe: enough. And why and why is that [00:44:03] John Mitchell: your decision? Because, You know, the two biggest factors in any business is the entrepreneur themselves and marketing. And that's why, you know, and when I work with entrepreneurs, I'm like, let's get you up to playing the game at a hundred percent instead of 20%. So let's do that. And then as we get that in place, let's focus on marketing and, and let's understand, you know, how many leads are, let's, you can't manage what you don't measure. And so let's start with, how many leads you're getting and what, what then what percentage of those leads are turning into sales and, you know, measurement. Yep. I love [00:44:43] Chaz Wolfe: it. Okay. You've already given us obviously, the book on success. Any other resource that's been helpful to you, or maybe even another book that you'd recommend for, a listener trying to, trying to. [00:44:53] John Mitchell: I tell you a great book is Psycho Cybernetics. Have you ever heard of Psycho [00:44:58] Chaz Wolfe: Cybernetic? I have, yes. Yeah. Tell tell us what you got from it though. [00:45:00] John Mitchell: Well, you know, when I was 19 years old at the University of Texas, I, like, and like I told in my story, I went to Jesuit High school and, and I was not a good student at Jesuit. You know, I made, I made c's, but I was into, you know, playing football and playing tennis. So, so, right. But I go to University of Texas and I'm like, oh, I'm gonna crush this. So, you know, I went to private school, well, it, it crushed me. I, I make C'S and D's my first semester and I'm like, wow, you know, something's wrong here. And, so and so somebody fortunately gave me the book, psycho-Cybernetics, which is an amazing book, on self-image. And I read that book. And learned how to study and it was so transformative. And, and yeah. One of the things I see, I don't know if you see this, but so many people have, this negative inner voice in in them. And, and I just went to a, retreat where there were 10 other guys just outside of Atlanta, and, and eight of the 10 said they had a negative inner voice. And I'm like, why would you put up with that? You gotta have an inner voice that says, I can accomplish anything I set my mind to. Yeah, let's fix that. And, and this book, psycho Cybernetic does a great job of, of writing your self. [00:46:28] Chaz Wolfe: Yeah, it's a big deal. you can even take it as far as, you know, pessimism versus optimism. Yeah. And how it's naturally ingrained or how we learn it. There's even a book called Learned Optimism, that that breaks this down as well. Yeah. But all of these very controllable things. That's, that's what I love about all these resources that we've talked about here. Right. Anybody listening today can grab those, study them as you just said, and change the output that they're, that they're getting. that is what I love about it, is because you have the control to do it. but you also have the control not to do it. [00:46:59] John Mitchell: Right. Right. Well, you know, you, you hit on something that, that is really interesting that I've thought about a lot. There's a, there's a book, and I think it's related to Think and Grow Rich, where,thoughts are things. And the idea is that there's this part in your, your brain, you know, that, that decides actions because you know you have a thought. Then you take an action and then something happens. And he talks about how,you know, you are innately wired to either be optimistic or pessimistic and or, and you're also innately wired to be lazy or not lazy. Well, the way that plays out though is,there's a part in your brain that makes decisions on actions that you're gonna take. And if you're not wired to be optimistic, then you know, it's always weighing what is the benefit versus what is the effort to do it. Well, the benefit is never perceived to be great enough. Right. Just like if you're lazy, you know, the effort is never, worth it, but Right, right. It's a powerful concept. It [00:48:03] Chaz Wolfe: is. And, and I, we could probably have a whole podcast just on that, I think. Yeah, no kid. But you're right. there there's a little bit of, and, and actually, actually, I think this makes a, it makes your point of. Dialing it in every single day in, in 12 minutes. Yeah. using your step, because if, whether you think like that naturally or not, you can, you can position yourself to do it. And then it's just a matter of then filling it with the things that you want on the output. Whatever the input is, is what the output's gonna be at a maximum level. And so now we're just talking about leverage. And so if you, if you have a inner voice that's negative, or if you have a situation where someone else thinks optimistically and you think, well, that's not worth it, effort and or result, right? Then you, you recognize that, okay, well maybe I, maybe I have a tendency towards this. Okay, fine. Yeah. It's not like you're, it's not like we write you off as like your scum of the earth, but there are very practical things that now you can go do. Now you have this acknowledgement. Around being able to modify and grow in that way. I mean, there's so many things about my personality that I'm tendency to do X and I'm like, that's not helpful. I need to, I need to grow in that area that is just awareness and growth. And, and so we just happen to be talking about in the mind specifically, and I just, I just continue to bring it back over and over again because you and I both know that anybody listening, no matter their background, single mom, family or not, right. It doesn't matter. They can rewrite the story starting right now. [00:49:28] John Mitchell: Right, right. Well, you're, you're so right. I mean, it's Life is a state of mind. And, and you know, the key I found with, with my methodology was creating this template. And it's been interesting because when I started working with the coaches at the University of Texas, I taught the, my methodology to the athletic director. And, and if you don't mind me bragging about the University of Texas, you know, we're the biggest sports brand in college football. We take in more money than anybody else. Yep, there you go. [00:49:59] Chaz Wolfe: And, [00:49:59] John Mitchell: always bigger in Texas, . Right. And, and the athletic director's highest paid athletic director in the country. And so I taught him my methodology and as I got going with him, I was like, Chris, let's, let's make Texas the goal standard for mental training and conditioning. And so in that effort, I. Going and finding the top sports psychologists in the world, and I'd meet him, then I'd bring him to him. And, and from that process, I got some great pearls of wisdom that I put in my template. And this, of course, the template's being been developed over 18 years, but it's, you know, back to your point, you may be inclined this way or that way, but you know, the beauty is the subconscious mind doesn't, doesn't have a preference. It doesn't react to logic. You can, you can, if, if you're not confident, but you tell yourself you're confident, guess what? You become confident. Yeah. I mean, it's amazing. [00:50:57] Chaz Wolfe: It really is that simple. I, I, again, we're, we're probably gonna have to just do another show because I think that, you and I, We could probably just get a, get a, an island and talk about the mine for a while. But, it's really, really good stuff. So I just wanna encourage a listener that, whether, whether you're tracking with us or not, that the starting point for you can be right now. And, and then the rest of the story is, is written by you. So I just wanna encourage you. Yeah. I got one, one, major speed round question here for you before we, end with my final question. Okay. And it's gonna be, a pretty, pretty great one for you because, it's, it, I, I personally started gathering the King's Mind or Mastermind because of Think and Grow Rich and how it talks about masterminds. And what I had found is that I couldn't find a real mastermind. What I found were marketing tactics that got me to spend money and get around people. And then there was no, there was nothing. There was nothing there. It was empty. And [00:51:51] John Mitchell: so, oh, I love that. You're so right. [00:51:53] Chaz Wolfe: I was, ugh. Just ugh. And so I wanted to actually mastermind with. High quality individuals, , go figure. Right, right. So my question is always the same, which is what do you think about intentionally networking with other, entrepreneurs, networking and or masterminding? And so I, I'm gonna present that question to you, but obviously we have a unique perspective on Mastermind because it, it comes from thing Grow Rich. And he goes in depth in the book on what that means for him and even the Mastermind that he had in his own mind by himself with other people, right. Which, right. You kinda get out there a little bit if you don't fully understand what he is doing. But what are [00:52:31] John Mitchell: your thoughts on that? You know, I think you were so right. I, I was just in a mastermind not too long ago that I was invited in. I'm like, all this feels like is therapy, you know? you know, I'm not learning anything. I mean, I thought, I thought the purpose of it was great to help each other, but, but I, I just didn't see it, it happening. And, uh, just like you were saying, and I think. I re I see how powerful it is to learn from other people. You know, I, I learned it part of at 50, how to be a conduit of learning, where I have the wisdom of experts coming into my head every week and it's strategic, relative to what I wanted to accomplish. Cuz I see, you know, if you ask people today, do you grow, they'll go, yeah, I'm, I'm listening to Joe Rogan. Well, that's not, that's not growth, that's entertainment. You know? and so I think to your point, I, I am big believer in masterminds if it's done right, I haven't personally, seen it done right. But I, I want you to take the ball on that one. . [00:53:37] Chaz Wolfe: Well, I, you're right. It is funny how. You know, the, your, your word therapy. I, I think that there's, there, just to bring a little bit of clarification to this mastermind idea, what we talk about in the book, this is strategic, like your mind and my mind mm-hmm. , whether we're talking or not. Actually, this is kinda where it gets a little odd, but like we could transmute Yeah. Energy and ideas back and forth by simply just running with each other. Right. And there's a connection between the two of us as long as we are intentional and I think good-willed about it, that we start spending time together, getting to know each other and whether I have said anything to you or not, or I'm just simply in the, in the room. And I heard you say something even to somebody else. If I'm looking for something, it goes back to the principle we talked about earlier, right? If I'm looking for something, if I'm looking for an. I'm going to get it. And that could be simply just because I was in the same room as you. Yeah. And maybe you were talking about something that was heartfelt to you or that was a struggle for you and maybe felt more therapeutic. So for me, the mindset of being able to get the strategic like getaway is, well, you're gonna get whatever you're looking for. We've already talked about that here today on this very show, right? Inside of obviously relationships. Now we're over here. You have humans and humans need connection. Humans need interaction, they need camaraderie. We wanna be around people who are like us. And so then now you have another dynamic, I think where, which is, okay, so who do you want to be around? Atomic Habits talks about this, where you are to join a group of people who have the habit that you desire also, and now it becomes a group effort as opposed to an individual effort. And then even more so, you stay in that group to solidify it. Even if you have gotten it all the way in, you still stay there and then, and it ends up, you end up, you know, helping other people, which was how we started this whole thing with what, with what you do. So I think that if you think about it from two perspectives of one, there's like business strategy, knowledge, ideas, like, you know, stuff And then there's the human element of, well, there's gonna be ups and downs, there's gonna be a little bit of a rollercoaster. There's gonna be things that we need to talk through as almost like a brotherhood or a, a camaraderie. those two things together, if done well, I think can be super impactful. And that's kinda where, you know, I feel like some people just don't know how to facilitate. Some people just don't, on the back end, they here watch some videos and then like, do better in your life and business. And it's like , I, I think we gotta do this a little bit different and better, you know what I mean? [00:56:01] John Mitchell: Well, well but, but Chaz, think about this. Let's, let's say you and I did a mastermind, you and me. You know, what's gonna influence either one of us is not the other one telling us something. It would be influenced by questions like I would, I would say. Exactly. So Chaz, what moves the needle in your life? That's right. And you have to think about it, and I challenge it and or accept it. And, and because I see you, you influence yourself or other people by the quality of your questions, not just telling 'em more stuff. [00:56:35] Chaz Wolfe: That's right. That's right. And even in a relationship, right? Yeah. And so it's not a matter of necessarily, getting around people, which I, I, I say it like this often. I think we're saying the same thing. Let me know what you think about this, this idea, but I don't necessarily need, at this point, practical things to grow my business. I'm not saying that I don't need it, because I'm sure there's things that you have and he has, and he has and she has, yeah. That I'm like, oh, that I should do that, and I go implement it. Cool. Like I'm all, I'm all good with that, but really what I need. Is to be able to put a situation before you and whether we come up with the same actual result or the solution. I'm not, I mean, yes. That's good. I wanna watch you think, I wanna watch you dissect the solution or how you got to it. That part for me is why I try to get around people and even why I do the podcast, because I've learned things on how you think today. Just going back and forth with [00:57:24] John Mitchell: you. Yeah. Right, right. [00:57:26] Chaz Wolfe: And it's situational to your point. If you ask questions and you put things before it and you, and you, you mess with it, I wanna, I wanna see how you mess. Like where does your brain go first? Does it go to who's involved or what their roles are? Or does it, is it environmental? Like what do you, what, what are the factors that you're considering before making a decision that those are the things that are impactful to me. [00:57:45] John Mitchell: Right. Yeah, I think so. You know, I'll tell you one thing I, if you got one more minute here that that's clicking in my head the last few months is, you know, we are all just a function of our genetics. What has come into our consciousness to this point, and whether we have testosterone or estrogen flowing through our veins because it, those are the three factors that cause us to be what we are. And, I have, this has been very helpful to me because at a subconscious level, we all don't like people that are, don't think like we do, right? And, and I see now, hey, we're all because we're because of those free factors, of course, we don't think alike. Right? And the, and the key to moving things forward is, is that habit from, seven habits of highly affected people of seek to understand before trying to be understood. And so that's, that's been my, lately my big focus. I'm teaching this to the head coaches at University of Texas and I'm trying to apply it to my own life. [00:58:54] Chaz Wolfe: Yeah, it's a big deal. You make a an extremely good point. Thinking grow even goes through it as well. Yeah. Basically you have to put yourself in a position where there's more than just your way of thinking. Otherwise, there's never any agitation to the way that you think. Yeah. There's no agitation, there's no challenge. If there's no challenge, then you just keep doing what you've always done over and over and over again. Mm-hmm. . Perfect. Yeah. All right. Last question here for you, John. You ready? Okay. If you could whisper in the younger John's ear, [00:59:23] John Mitchell: what would you say? It's all gonna work out. You know, I, I say that I tell, I told, I just told my classes, on Tuesday, last Tuesday. I said, you know, it's, and it's amazing to me. They're all. There are a lot of anxiety with college students and, and you know, you and I think, well, what do they had to be anxious about? You know, they're freaking in college. Yeah. But, they're anxious and, and they're like, I don't know. You know, what's the real world gonna be like? And I'm like, you know, you gotta have a belief that life is gonna work out now you gotta do your best. Whatever your best looks like today, but it will work out. It will work out. Yeah. And even in we, I just showed him Steve Jobs commencement address to Stanford, which is a classic. And, he says, you know, you can't connect the dots. looking forward, only going back. But the main point of his address was the dots do connect. Your life will work out. Just, you know, outlast the temporary and get through the challenges and always do your best cuz that's all you can control. [01:00:33] Chaz Wolfe: I love the lords of wisdom there.
