If you want to get it absolutely free, go to morning priming.com once again morning priming.com it comes with a lesson to show you exactly how you can create your own based off of what you want to learn and what you want to get better at. And it's got a worksheet for you to work through so that you can put it into a step by step routine. Today we're going to be talking about your life's purpose. We're going to be talking about money, we're going to be talking about dreams, we're going to Be talking about your passion. We're going to talk about what's the reason why you're alive on this earth. And that's a pretty big undertaking. And, you know, before we dive into it, this is a really big question. And if you look at it the wrong way, it can kind of be demoralizing. And you can look at this world and go, oh, my God, there's no purpose. There's no reason to be here. We're just gonna die and turn into worm food. You can go that route if you want to. Sometimes people like to go the depressing route on accident. Their brain just kind of goes that way. But for me, what I like to do is be like, well, instead of me just saying, like, oh, there is no purpose, what if just. Just put these glasses on, see this perspective. What if I am just this soul that just decided to inhabit this earthly body and I came here for some sort of reason, some sort of mission, some sort of thing to accomplish some sort of thing to learn about myself so that my soul can get better and go to the next place or move into the next plane, whatever it might be. Just looking at it, kind of like a video game where, like, I'm on this level of being a human on Earth, what am I supposed to learn from it? What's my purpose? What do I want to get out of it? And so I want to tell you this. Before I really started looking at this, my first 27 years of life probably was all about, like, how can I make money? Because for me, what I thought was that money meant safety. As I've grown older, I've come to realize that when I was younger, we didn't have any money. And I thought, you know, what would make me feel more secure, what would make my life feel safer, was if we had money, so that therefore we didn't have to worry about it. So then as I grew up, I subconsciously met, you know, kind of turned money into safety. And so I, as a. An organism, wants to be safe when I need to make money, because I need to be safe. And then I started unraveling and realizing, like, that's not the reason why I'm alive, is just to make money. Like, I know the richest person that I know is one of the most miserable people I know, worth billions of dollars. Money clearly doesn't buy happiness, so going and making more of it isn't going to make me happier. And I think I'm not alone in this. I think a lot of people go for success or achievements or money Thinking that it's going to give them what they want in this world. But I promise you this, it's a hollow existence. It never will. And so after I got fired from my high paying sales position because they were, they decided, okay, should we let go of this person? Should we move them? And they wanted to move me. And so I kind of got fired. I kind of quit. At the same time, I was like, just give me my severance and I'll figure it out. After I got rid of it and I was gone from there and I was making a bunch of money making, you know, for a 29 year old, making over $200,000 a year. I had to make a decision. And my decision was I can either. Well, one of three decisions, I guess I can either continue working at this company, but take a different position. I didn't want to do that. I can start working for somebody else again and, you know, maybe I'll like that job. Or I have this, I have this feeling that I should follow this podcasting thing. I have this feeling I should go for this coaching thing. And at that time I was, you know, 29 years old. I had been in self development for 10 years. I had coached when I was younger, 2,000 salespeople on mindset and on sales and on becoming better. And I could do it and I could, I could probably go follow this thing. And for some reason that felt like the right thing to do. Even though I could have applied for a job and made, you know, at least six figures or multiple six figures at 29, 30 years old, I was like, I'm gonna go for this thing that makes no sense right now. Because in 2015 when I. This all happened. When I first started the podcast, there was no money in podcasting. Nobody listened to podcasts. It wasn't the same as it is now, where everybody and their mother has a podcast and everybody listens to them the majority of time. When I would tell people I had a podcast, most people's response back to me in 2015 was, what is a podcast? And so it didn't make any sense. And this was now almost 10 years ago. And I had this little podcast. It was called back in the day, it was called MWF Motivation. I changed it to Mindset Mentor because I realized I hate the word motivation. And I was making $0 off of it. No advertisers, no products, nothing. I didn't know how to make any money online. I'd never done anything like it before. And to be honest, I didn't think that I could, I didn't even know if I could make any money off it. But there was this feeling that was inside of me. And I know that you've probably felt this, this little tiny feeling every once in a while, this feeling that was inside of me that was like, this is the reason why you're alive. This is the thing that you're supposed to do. And it felt like, it felt right is the best way of saying it. It felt, sure, it felt like my passion, it felt like my, my calling. But more than anything else, it just felt like the right thing to do. And I had to follow, I had to, like, give it a chance. And I, I realized that I could have gone the other direction. I could have listened to my fears of this isn't going to work. The imposter syndrome of who's going to listen to you? The, you know, you've got bills to pay, you've got all of this. But I was like, I've got to, I've got to go for it. Logically, looking at like, facts, figures, numbers, where podcasting was at the time, how much money was coming into my bank account, how much money was not coming into my bank account, Logically, becoming a podcaster made no sense in the entire world. I could have gotten a high paying job within the next couple months if I wanted to. But it felt right. Like something felt right. And I had all of these fears of, I don't think that I can do it. I don't know if I could do it. I'm not good enough, I'm not smart enough. Why would somebody listen to me when they listen to Tony Robbins? I had all these fears, but I had this feeling. I had this feeling deep down inside of me, like, I think I should follow it. And if it doesn't work out, at least I tried. And I don't want to regret. I'd rather work hard than regret. The only thing worse than pain of hard work is the pain of regret. And so I remember this quote that says, your fears will scream at you, your inspiration will whisper. And I was like, man, my fears are screaming at me right now, like, screaming, go back, get another job. You've got a mortgage to pay for. This is stupid. Nobody wants to do this. You don't know any coaches, nobody listens to podcasts. You're only 29 years old, why would somebody listen to you? But I had this feeling. I was whispering and I was like, hey, this feels like the right thing to do. Sometimes following your dreams doesn't make sense. Logically in the moment, it doesn't make any logical analytical sense. Most of the time it doesn't, you know, for some of you that are listening and you want to be a painter, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to quit your accounting job to be a painter. And that's not what I'm saying to do. Talk a little bit more about that. If you want to be a musician, it doesn't make sense to leave your job as a, you know, head of marketing to be a musician if you're a creator, whatever it is. But sometimes you should try to follow that feeling at least a little bit. I'm not saying, and this is a big piece, I'm not saying quit your job and go follow this random feeling because I know for a lot of people the feeling of having money come in is safety. And I would rather you have that safety and try out the other thing in your free time when you get done from work on the weekends, whatever it might be, you have a, you know, maybe you, you work in health care, but you want to start an Etsy shop and you want to start selling jewelry in some sort of way. Well, you can still work in health care and on your days off and on your evenings off, you can start that jewelry shop. You can put it on Etsy. On the weekends you can go and you can start a, go to a farmer's market and sell some of your jewelry there and see if it works. I'm not saying it has to be all or nothing. It can be a little bit until it becomes a little bit more and it becomes a little bit more. And then it becomes actually a good idea to leave your job so that you can fund this thing because it's starting to take off and is starting to fly. And we will be right back. Picture this.
