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.

In this episode of The Missing Secret Podcast, John and Kelly dig deeper into the idea that 95% of your daily actions are unconscious. The classic way we explain it is as follows. Your actions determine your success in each area of your life. It is well documented that 95% of your daily actions are unconscious. Accordingly just connect the dots. Your subconscious mind controls your life. And if you want a higher level of success, you have to gain control over those unconscious daily actions. But one thing that John finds interesting from appearing on various podcast is often times the host will acknowledge that they know that 95% of their daily actions are unconscious but do not do anything about it.

Kelly provides some great wisdom on this topic. First of all, she says that often times people didn’t know they could do anything about it. Well that’s exactly what the think it be it methodology is all about. The 12 minute a day technique. Taking control over those unconscious daily actions. The other thing Kelly astutely points out is that most people aren’t thinking about this anyway. They’re just gliding through life living life at a shallow level. Not getting much thought to the implications of 95% of their daily thoughts and actions being unconscious. Once you listen to this podcast, you will have a deeper and richer understanding of this fundamental concept that when you think about it, is life-changing.

In this episode of The Missing Secret Podcast, John and Kelly talk about the power of knowing your own story. John talks about how he has a weekly personal growth program for the 18 head coaches at the University of Texas. As well as for the 75 people in the athletic department. And this week he provided the coaches with an interview of both Kobe Bryan and Michael Jordan’s mental coach. George Munford. He talks about how he was able to help them reach their full potential by understanding their unique story. A powerful lesson.

So in this episode, John explains in under two minutes his unique story. Then Kelly does the same thing. You will find that when you do this and define your story in under two minutes, it ends up being a source of power when things get tough and when you are dealing with the daily grind.

In this episode John also talks about the power of doing what you say you’re going to do. The research indicates that people do what they say they’re going to do about 40% of the time. Using the think it be it methodology will take it to close to 100%. At the end of the podcast John discusses getting to know Jerry Jones. And the opportunity to buy 12% of the Dallas Cowboys. That 12% is now worth over $1 billion. And the point of telling that story is the power of you getting smarter as you get older.

In this episode of The Missing Secret Podcast, John and Kelly talk about the process of getting more enlightened. Exactly how it happens. They take a stroll down memory lane in each area of their lives and look at how they have become more enlightened. They start with career. John talks about launching into becoming an entrepreneur when he was 30. The lesson he got is always be in the control position. He then talks about learning in his 50s the six components of doing his best. John points out that in his 40s but he was delusional as to what doing his best was. In his 40s, he thought it was just getting up early. In his 50s he realized there were six components to doing his best. Including understanding how the human mind works.

Then John talks about the Epiphany he got at 50 from reading the book Think and Grow Rich. Discovering that 95% of a person’s daily thoughts and actions are unconscious. During this discussion of career John and Kelly talk about the four different types of people. And the importance of understanding how different people process the same information differently. Then John and Kelly talk about what they’ve learned in health. This is really interesting. John talks about reading the book younger next year when he was 48. Moving from exercising three days a week to six days a week. And John talks about how his enlightenment on health has been greatly increased by recently reading Peter Atia’s book Outlive. This is made him way more knowledgeable about health. Then John and Kelly talk about the impact of getting more enlightened in marriage. Embracing our partner’s differences.

In this episode of The Missing Secret Podcast, John and Kelly play a short clip from the legendary Jim Rohn, one of the founders of the personal growth industry. He talks about four powerful emotions that will instantly change your life. John then plays the clip. After the clip, John and Kelly talk about it. One of the emotions discussed is getting to the point where you say “I’ve had it”. John notes two times in his life when he had reached this point. Another one of the emotions is the attitude of get it done – rather than continuing to try to make a decision. This is so true. People will agonize over making a decision. It’s paralysis by analysis.

The other powerful emotion is desire. The “want to” to make a change in one’s life. And then the last one is resolve. Being determined to make the change. Then John and Kelly talk about something John is observing in a number of people he is close with. At around the age of 30, people are trying to really figure out what they’re going to do for career. That’s a natural time because it takes until you’re about 30 to figure out what your strength is and know what’s up in the real world.

John gives the advice to figure out your strength and play into it. And don’t be deluded by things you could do. You could probably do a lot of things. But you have to play into what your unique talent is. And factor in the future. Things are changing so quickly you have to figure out what career has longevity to it. You also have to understand what stage of life you’re in. And are you living in a city that facilitates your stage of life.
