So what if you assumed right now that everything is working out for you, even when it's hard, even when there's no proof,
118
what if you lived like the outcome was certain
119
that is not wishful thinking that is mental engineering

you'll be astonished at what it will mean to your life you are the only person
124
that thinks in your mind and you create your experiences
125
and just for this moment i want you to catch the thought you're thinking right now
126
and ask yourself is it negative or is it positive or is it neutral
127
do you want this thought to create your future now
128
because we think so quickly
129
and the thoughts just go whizzing through our minds it's not always so easy to begin changing our thoughts
130
You can start by editing your speech.
131
Begin to listen to what you say.
132
And don't say anything that you don't want to become true for you.
133
There are literally billions of thoughts that you can think and infinite numbers of things that you can say.
134
Make these be nourishing thoughts.
135
Pick thoughts that create nourishing experiences for you whatever you're thinking about that's who you will become
136
because thoughts lead to actions actions lead to habits habits lead to lifestyle
137
and that lifestyle is what dictates who you are brother

139
do not give up now it is not the time 85 of your success will be term be determined by your attitude.

That means determined by how positive or how much of a positive mental attitude you have.

You see, the way that you become unstoppable is by refusing to stop.
142
It's not a quality that you develop in a week or a month or by reading or listening to something inspiring.
143

that you develop by practicing the quality of persistence over
145
and over in every circumstance until it locks in and becomes a permanent part of your character.
146
Gosh, it's so sad when somebody's in the right country and they've got the wrong philosophy.
147
Let me give you some examples on philosophy that can get you from $5 an hour to $6 an hour.
148
Here's number one.
149
Wait for the government to change the minimum wage.
150
If you wait long enough, sure enough, the government will change the minimum wage, let's say, to $6.
151
You say, yes, but how long will it take?
152
That's one year.
153
Let's say you don't make it.
154
Second year, say, well, that's a long time to go from five to six.
155
It is a long time.
156
Here's the third philosophy.
157
We call it the philosophy of demand.
158
I demand six dollars or I won't work.
159
Now, if you're by yourself, this is a risky philosophy.
160
If you've got a thousand people now to take with you to the company and say,
161
all thousand of us will not work unless we get six dollars, now you might have a chance.
162
The philosophy of demand only works by collective bargaining, but it's very limiting, the philosophy of demand.
163
And here's what for sure, jot this down, the philosophy of performance.
164
I will perform so well that the company would easily be justified in paying me $6.
165
These are philosophies that follow.
166
Your income is determined primarily by your philosophy.
167
See, that changes everything.
168
The man who can control his attention will always control his outcomes.
169
And you have begun to master your attention.
170
That is another sign.
171
Where others are reactive, you are intentional.
172
Where others consume, you create where others chase you attract
173
because you are no longer scattered you are focused
174
and focus is the hammer that breaks the chains of poverty
175
when a man is focused he cannot be manipulated he cannot be distracted all I know is this
176
I want them to say that
177
that one could never quit
178
he never quit no matter the odds no matter the circumstances
179
no matter the situation no matter who was against them or who was with them
180
Enzo Ferrari once asked Alfa Romeo for a job.
181
They rejected him, so he built Ferrari, today worth over $79 billion.
182
Years later, a man named Ferruccio Lamborghini gave Enzo advice about his cars.
183
Ferrari mocked him, so he built Lamborghini, now one of the most iconic sports cars in the world.
184
Then came Horacio Pagani, working for Lamborghini he asked to build cars entirely out of carbon fiber.
185
They said no. So he left and created Pagani, building some of the most stunning hypercars the world has ever seen.
186
Years later, a man named John Hennessey reached out to Pagani, asking for engines that could break speed records.
187
Pagani declined.
188
So Hennessey built his own and launched Hennessey Performance,
189
making some of the fastest production cars on earth every rejection is a chance to build something greater
190
if they say no good if they say it can't be done even better
191
that just means it can't be done with them now watch me build it anyway you have to be
192
so delusional about your own success until you've literally just created out of thin air keep your head down
193
and keep grinding and keep pushing until it happens and And the only way that it happens is if you're crazy,
194
because people aren't going to believe in you.
195
People are going to say you're crazy.
196
You don't know what you're doing.
197
You're always going to be crazy until you make it.
198
Men do not attract that which they want, but that which they are.
199
As he thinks, so he is.
200
As he continues to think, so he remains.
201
What is the greatest piece of advice you ever received?
202
If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you'll work until you die.
203
That's the one that touched my soul my father he's 77 still working
204
when i was young
205
he always told me son try to find a way to make money with your brain it'll outlast your back
206
i don't care about not going to the bars
207
i don't care about not going to the clubs i don't care about not doing the
208
that the average person does i don't care
209
if i'm alone why i have the plan so anything
210
that is not improving me and getting me closer to
211
that end goal that end result
212
and it's not on the plan i'm not doing it i didn't mind working hard on my job
213
but things didn't seem to change that much then i started working hard on myself
214
so let me put it in a philosophical phrase
215
now this is worth the price of whatever
216
it costs for you to be here today here
217
it is success is not something you pursue it's something you attract by becoming attractive
218
and i said this i didn't say it to him
219
but i said it in front of him
220
so i could hear i said i hate being poor
221
and my dad got really upset he just threw his newspaper on the phone
222
he said david david david you are not poor he said poor is a mentality
223
he said it's a mentality that very few people ever recover from don't you forget it son you
224
are broke he said these are just financial circumstances
225
that i hope to overcome one day very soon one of the most valuable financial principles
226
i've learned in my life is poor people
227
and middle class people feel like everything is expensive
228
because they pay for things with money they've exchanged their time for
229
so they feel like they're paying for everything with their life
230
because they are it's time right you're trading time for money
231
if he could do it this isn't a He believed in himself.
232
And you can too.
233
You can do anything that you want.
234
You can get singing lessons, get a better job, make more money.
235
You could be even life rich.
236
You could live in the White House someday.
237
You could be president.
238
Do what you want to do start every morning write 10 things
239
that you're grateful for send love to three people to bother you be quiet for five minutes
240
and ask for guidance for the day it's a winning formula other than death all failure is psychological think about
241
that 22 year old marilyn monroe was once fired from columbia pictures saying she wasn't beautiful
242
or talented enough to be an actress thomas edison had to create a thousand light bulbs before one worked
243
and the famous james dyson tested 5126 prototype vacuum cleaners in 15 years
244
and spent all his savings but 5127 times the vacuum cleaner worked
245
and now it is a successful brand worldwide for 302 times investors turned down walt disney to build Disneyland.
246
The moral of the story is you never know which attempt will be successful.
247
Get rid of the notion that everything should be easy, fast, and yield immediate results.
248
It hinders you from achieving your goal.
249
And when people say, how are things going, you say, wonderful.
250
You say, how's life, you say, terrific.
251
You say, how's your relationship, couldn't be better.
252
How is your health, how you feeling, I feel great.
253
In other words, don't talk about negative things because when you talk about negative things,
254
you actually increase them and you draw more of them into your life.
255
Look at the people that you know who have problems.
256
You can't talk them out of it.
257
You say, well, why don't you just forget it?
258
Why don't you just put it behind you?
259
Why don't you just get on with it?
260
They say, well, I can't do that.
261
Do you know how much I've suffered?
262
I hate negative people.
263
If you're negative, you've got to get away from me.
264
You know, if the first thing, if I have an idea, the first thing you want to talk about is the problems with it,
265
then we've got an issue.
266
There's a time to talk about problems, but not while I'm dreaming.
267
If you have an idea that you genuinely think is good, don't let some idiot talk you out of it
268
if there is something that you feel is good something
269
that means something to you try to do it
270
because i think you can only do your best work
271
if you're doing what you want to do and
272
if you're doing it the way you think it should be done to manifest whatever it is
273
that you are wanting to manifest you speak to it as though it's already happened
274
i am worthy of being wealthy i'm a magnet for money
275
and prosperity is drawn to me money comes to me in expected and unexpected ways
276
i move from the poverty thinking to the abundance thinking i am worthy of making more money
277
i am receptive and open to all the wealth
278
that life offers me to manifest you have to believe you have to believe
279
that you already have whatever it is that you want
280
and the reason that you have to believe you have it already is
281
because the subconscious mind is only operating in the present
282
it can't reason it's just like a program so
283
if you say my new car is coming
284
i'm going to get a new car it's coming well
285
then it's always going to be coming you have to imagine you have it now visualize being in
286
that car asking is the beginning of receiving asking starts a unique process mental
287
and emotional i don't even know how it works all i know is it works it's like pushing a button
288
and all this machinery starts working i don't know how it just works
289
there's a lot of things
290
you don't need to know how just work them some people
291
are always studying the roots others are picking the fruit
292
i mean it depends on what end of it you want in on
293
asking is the beginning of receiving
294
so start the process do this daily law of attraction daily
295
like visualize every single day tell yourself before going to sleep
296
or when you wake up you tell yourself i'm happy i'm rich i'm successful i have this i have
297
that i am this all of these different mantras whatever comes
298
to mind positive thinking tell yourself openly loud train your mind
299
to see the good in every situation the first time
300
you do this yeah it might be a struggle it might feel like oh this is really difficult but
301
if you stay with it you're going to start seeing the good everywhere
302
that's a simple easy doesn't cost anything begin it right now
303
way of using a technique to start to move into abundance i'm
304
that kind of person i'm like whatever it is i'm just going to figure
305
it out we're going to do it it's going to happen
306
this is going to happen how I don't know don't tell me
307
that positive thinking doesn't work you can if you think you can
308
if you have this gorgeous computer put in front of you
309
and you don't know what to do with it it's a piece of junk
310
and that is what the law of thinking is.
311
When you learn how it works, miracles happen.
312
Let me give you a little known fact today that will increase your effectiveness in anything you do.
313
Now while this has long been known by the most successful people of the world, it seems to have escaped the great majority.
314
The secret is to get
315
and hold fast in your mind the mental image of the person you would most like to be.
316
Then in every situation you act and talk as you feel
317
that person would you immediately begin to act with more confidence
318
and confidence is the first step to accomplishment as your accomplishments
319
begin to grow real confidence slowly takes the place of the part
320
you've been playing try it for 30 days
321
you've got nothing to lose the time is going to pass anyway why not put
322
it to work becoming the person you most want to become
323
in order to change a belief
324
or perception about yourself in your life
325
you got to go all in you got to make a decision with such firm intention
326
that the amplitude of that decision carries a level of energy
327
that causes the body to respond to the mind that the choice
328
that you make becomes a moment in time you'll never forget
329
and you would say i remember the moment it made up my mind to change
330
and i promise you i promise you i promise you the second
331
that you guys start taking action is the second
332
that the game of life begins the second that you guys realize
333
that your goals are achievable man that's when this starts that's
334
when you guys can start to understand i can do whatever i want with my life
335
and i'm the decision maker you have complete control over the way
336
you feel over the way you respond to any situation
337
and over the things you think about at any minute of the day.
338
Whenever you feel negative for any reason, wait a minute, I am responsible.
339
I am responsible.
340
The truth is nobody can make you feel negative other than you by the way you choose to think about the situation.
341
Exercise your ability to respond positively.
342
Take responsibility for your role in negative situations
343
and allow yourself to let go of negative feelings
344
that might be trapped inside of you because of things that happened in the past that you cannot change
345
take the next three months and donate
346
that time to your future self commit to something
347
that you're going to thank yourself for doing a year from today
348
and the whole scope of this we call now personal development you can have more than you've got
349
because you can become more than you are
350
if you can multiply your value by three by five
351
you can easily multiply your income by three by five by ten
352
but the key to doing it is to work hard on yourself can everybody be successful i don't think
353
so i think a lot of it people's mindset like i like to say
354
you can only grow to what you're exposed to
355
so like for example we're in beverly hills right now you have to grow up
356
and go touch the rolls royce and see
357
that that's even possible a lot of people that never leave like
358
when i awg you were talking about proximity i was 27 years old
359
when i found out you can own an airplane like literally i remember it
360
so clearly i met a guy who owned a jet
361
and i was like hang on a sec what do you mean
362
you own your own air is there like a private sky
363
like i had no idea a mind once expanded can never go back to its origin size believing
364
that you can is way more profitable than believing
365
that you can i did an interview for forbes they said to me
366
if you have to do again what advice would you give your 20 year old self
367
and i said i would have drank bigger way bigger way bigger i had made the decision
368
that i would either die or i would succeed repeated message
369
that i had to myself over and over again was i cannot lose
370
if i do not quit that was under my control of all the things i know
371
if you don't stand for something you'll fall for anything
372
if you don't know where you're going you'll end up someplace else you won't recognize it
373
when you get there
374
because you really didn't plan to be there in the first
375
place the people who are the most specific in life seem to get a goal
376
because the mind is the most marvelous biocomputer ever created feel the emotion of your future before
377
it happens you know you can't wait for your wealth to feel success
378
or abundance you can't wait for your new relationship to feel love well
379
that's kind of the old model of reality of cause
380
and effect waiting for something out there to change to take away this emptiness this lack
381
that i feel in here most people then they have
382
that vision of the future but they give up on
383
that vision because in order for them to arrive at
384
that vision they have to do something they have to think differently
385
they have to act differently they have to feel differently
386
and the hardest part about change is not making the same choice as you did the day before
387
I think everybody at least once in their life has done something great
388
and when they did something great they just made up their mind
389
when we have a problem most of us go oh panic
390
panic God what are we going to do blah blah blah blah
391
but I have something
392
that I try to get people to say the minute there's a problem you stop
393
and you go all is well all is well
394
everything's working out for my highest good
395
and out of this experience only good will come
396
and i am safe if it's a small thing say it two
397
or three times if it's a bigger issue babble it incessantly we need to fix our thinking
398
and our attitude about how we respond to them
399
and then you get less and less okay repeat after me i am going to receive everything that I desire
400
because my intentions and my heart is pure.
401
And every person and opportunity that is for me will flow to me because I am a magnet.
402
Anything can be learned.
403
I can start playing golf like Tiger Woods.
404
The only thing that separates me to Tiger Woods is desire and repetition.
405
So when you bugger off to the pub or you sit and watch your favorite TV program, I study charts.
406
I go over the trading day.
407
Just like Tiger Woods, he created a new wave of sincerity about golf.
408
When everyone else hit the clubhouse, he went and worked out.
409
You have to want it yourself.
410
And that's what separated 99 % with the 1%
411
i want to make a million dollars a year fine guess how rare
412
that is you want to guess it's not one percent one percent 600k in the us and
413
if you're global forget about it that's not even a one out of a hundred goal
414
it's a one out of 200 one out of 300 goal
415
and you have that goal and you think
416
that somehow you're going to behave like the 299
417
and get there it's not normal it's unbalanced
418
you have to take unrelenting obsessive amounts of action for a
419
disproportionate period of time where you get zero reward for doing
420
so if anything you just get disproportionate punishment for taking this
421
and you get you question your insanity half the time
422
because you're like am i just being crazy is it insane
423
for me to have these aspirations these goals these dreams
424
and everyone around you will tell you yes
425
because it's in their best interest
426
because it makes it your failure protects their ego people demand success
427
but refuse to work they won't work weekends people want opportunity
428
but won't talk to strangers people claim ambition
429
but they sleep in every day right we're the result of our actions not our aspirations
430
so many people have the same goal as you
431
but very few of them will do the same work as you and
432
so you have to have uneven work to have an uneven goal
433
i'm on a different mission like i'm on i'm chasing the bag
434
i'm grinding every day i'm barely sleeping working toward my album like i love the pressure
435
you thinking i can't do something right thinking i ain't gonna be successful i love
436
that type of pressure
437
and like be who you are there's two times the door to the subconscious mind opens up
438
when you wake up in the morning and
439
when you go to bed at night so those are really key times if you want to reprogram your subconscious mind.
440
So in that realm, you can connect to energy and information and you can rewrite a program.
441
And it's not something that you really have to try to do.
442
It's just something that your brain naturally does.
443
You can take advantage of it to say, okay, what's my greatest ideal of myself tomorrow?
444
How am I going to show up?
445
What did I learn from today that I want to stop doing?
446
Let me remind myself of what I'm not going to do tomorrow.
447
Let me remind myself of what I'm not going to think.
448
I'm going to remind myself of how I'm not going to feel.
449
Let me review these.
450
Let me remember
451
so i don't forget let me how am i going to be how am i going to think
452
and and start off if your personality creates your personal reality it makes sense then
453
if you're going to create a new personal reality you got to change your personality that's the first step right
454
and i think most people try to create a new personal reality as the same personality
455
it doesn't work we got to become somebody else
456
if you consume enough of that content
457
if you read enough books about people who have embarked on certain kinds of journeys
458
and made certain choices that at some point you might interject some of their personality
459
and their responses
460
and subconsciously start making decisions hopefully positive decisions on your own
461
behalf maybe having more appropriate boundaries maybe taking better self -care
462
or care of other people and
463
that without even realizing it you're starting to make better choices on your own behalf
464
and then at some point you move from the interject to a recognition
465
that wait it was me that made that change
466
when you're your 20s you don't care what people think and
467
when you're in your 30s you're very sensitive to what people think
468
and then you get into your 40s
469
and in your 40s you realize the great truth is
470
that no one was ever thinking about you at all
471
and that's the fact nobody ever thinks about us at all
472
and there we are we're so terrified of doing what you really want to do
473
because of what they might say or think so we stay in
474
that comfort zone if your life was a movie
475
and people were watching up to this point what would the audience be screaming at the screen
476
telling you to do with your life
477
i already know the answer of what i should be doing i'm just scared of making the commitment
478
and having the conversation like
479
if you could have what you wanted what would it look like think about it vision
480
it envision it imagine
481
it let it reveal itself to you right how would you
482
like to structure your friendships what would you like to do to put your family in order
483
you know how would you aim with regard to your career
484
how would you educate yourself how would you take care of yourself mentally
485
and physically you only have to be right one time
486
you don't have to figure it all out in advance
487
you can be wrong you can pick the wrong career
488
you can pick the wrong job you can pick the wrong spouse you can pick the wrong whatever
489
but you get it right one time you're set but
490
if you don't go out there and try all those different things you'll never get
491
that one time and
492
so it's not a question of okay how much different stuff do i do
493
or how many different things should you try try them all try them all until you find the one you like.
494
And then it's like, it gets really easy.
495
Thank you.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
