Focus On What You Want, Most People Focus On The Obstacles

In this episode of The Missing Secret Podcast, John and Kelly talk how in life, most people focus on the obstacles rather than focusing on what they want. During this podcast episode, John and Kelly play a short clip from leadership guru Simon Sinik. It really illustrates the idea of how people focus on the obstacles. As John pointed out, what a lousy way to live. But people are doing that because they are innately wired for survival. Which causes them be fear-based. That’s why they focus on the obstacles. Coupled with the fact that by being wired for survival they are profoundly resistant to change. John goes on to talk about how easy it is to manipulate the subconscious mind. And manipulate the person you want to be. If your natural inclination is to focus on the obstacles, it’s pretty easy to change that. By repeatedly saying to yourself to focus on the possibilities rather than the obstacles, over about 21 days that will happen. But when you’re winging life, as most people do, you’re innately wired to focus on the obstacles.

About the Hosts:

John Mitchell

John’s story is pretty amazing. After spending 20 years as an entrepreneur, John was 50 years old but wasn’t as successful as he thought he should be. To rectify that, he decided to find the “top book in the world” on SUCCESS and apply that book literally Word for Word to his life. That Book is Think & Grow Rich. The book says there’s a SECRET for success, but the author only gives you half the secret. John figured out the full secret and a 12 minute a day technique to apply it.

When John applied his 12 minute a day technique to his life, he saw his yearly income go to over $5 million a year, after 20 years of $200k - 300k per year. The 25 times increase happened because John LEVERAGED himself by applying science to his life.

His daily technique works because it focuses you ONLY on what moves the needle, triples your discipline, and consistently generates new business ideas every week. This happens because of 3 key aspects of the leveraging process.

John’s technique was profiled on the cover of Time Magazine. He teaches it at the University of Texas’ McCombs School of Business, which is one the TOP 5 business schools in the country. He is also the “mental coach” for the head athletic coaches at the University of Texas as well.
