In this episode of The Missing Secret Podcast, John and Kelly discuss the idea of talking to yourself in the second person. More specifically using focused self talk to create your identity. There is some amazing new research out of Stanford and Dr. Andrew Huberman where he talks about the scientific discoveries regarding how self talk impacts a person’s neurochemistry and autopilot. The connection is pretty simple. Self talk impacts identity, identity effects a person’s long-term actions, and actions determine a person’s success and achievement in life.

So when you talk to yourself in the second person with empowering statements, it literally changes the chemical release of things like dopamine. And the expression of your genes. And it changes how your autopilot is wired. And that’s significant because 95% your daily thoughts and actions are unconscious. Meaning that 95% are on autopilot. During this interview it’s noted that when you say I, you’re more focused on your intentions. Where as when you say you, it’s your identity – which is more sticky then intentions.

During this podcast John and Kelly discuss the concept of negative thoughts. And Dr. Andrew Huberman suggests that when a negative thought comes in your head, you simply identify it. Identify it as a thought and label it as not true. When you have the presence of mind to do that, it changes how the brain processes that negative thought. This episode is a must listen to for anyone that is doing the think it be it methodology. The end result is you will be changing your life GPS template to say YOU instead of I based on the latest neurophysiology research out of Stanford.

In the show notes for providing an important video regarding self talk and its impact on you physically. Here it is as follows:

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.

In this episode of The Missing Secret Podcast, John and Kelly discuss the concept of the power of personal growth. Kelly had the benefit of growing up with a father who was big into personal growth. Accordingly, ongoing personal growth is who Kelly is. John didn’t have the same good fortune. When he turned 50 and he wasn’t as successful as he thought he should be, he saw that in his 30s and 40s he was too busy for personal growth. Big mistake. And when he got into his 50s, he rectified that. By creating a system for personal growth. That made it both consistent and strategic relative to what he wanted to accomplish. It was foundational in causing his income to go up by 25 times over the $200,000 a year he was making the prior 20 years.

In this episode John acknowledges that many people don’t have an appreciation for personal growth because their life experience hasn’t shown them how valuable it is. But does everybody have to learn everything the hard way?. John makes the contention that nobody is smart enough to be highly successful on their own. Nobody. And you actually don’t have to be the smartest person in the world. Just be a conduit of learning. Continually learning from experts. At the end this podcast John explains that on March 28, which is a Friday at 11 AM central time, John is going to conduct the quarterly 2% mastermind. Helping people using the 12 minute a day methodology tweak up there life GPS template. And allows them to ask questions.

In this episode of The Missing Secret Podcast, John and Kelly discuss is the idea that you have to create yourself from the inside out not the outside in. This comes from a great book called Inner Excellence. And here’s the reality. Most people are creating themselves from the outside in. Driven by social media and what other people think. So who they are is primarily influenced by those factors. Exactly the opposite of how you want to be. You want to be created from the inside out. At the end the day, all we want is inner peace and to live our life confidently. And everything starts with gratitude. Which promotes inner strength, which then leads to mental toughness. Which then leads to achievement. And that all comes back to inner peace and gratitude.

During this podcast Kelly digs into the idea that your identity dictates your actions. Who you see yourself as determines the actions you take. And your morning routine is how you establish your identity and how you build yourself from the inside out. You just have to figure out what the best morning routine for you is. Maybe it’s meditation, maybe it’s affirmations. But as John points out, what would be a better morning routine than feeding the succinct articulation of your desired life yourself each day.
