In this episode of The Missing Secret Podcast, Kelly explains what she would tell the 20 year old version of herself regarding how to be successful. She starts out talking about the immense power of being a grower and a learner from a young age. Her dad turned her on to reading when she was 13 years old. And that’s where she got it. And it played a significant factor in her life. Approaching life from a curiosity standpoint and learning whatever she could. In seeking people with wisdom beyond her own wisdom. That has been the hallmark trait of Kelly Hatfield. The other advice she would give the 20-year-old version of herself is to understand how the human mind works. When John taught Kelly the think it be it methodology when she was 44 years old, it was life transforming.

The key thing she learned was that 95% of her daily thoughts and actions are unconscious. Once you really think about it and appreciate the profound implications, your life is never the same. John and Kelly talk about how lots of people understand this at a surface level. But do nothing about it. But those that really get it, and see its implications, are all about learning think it be it. During this episode John talks about the impact of the think it be it methodology has on one’s identity. He talks about how we are all created haphazardly. Things have happened in our life that were both good and bad that has created good traits and bad traits. And we were raised by our parents in a certain way. But virtually none of it was intentional.

Even how our parents raised us was largely unintentional. They just did the best they could. And how we were raised was certainly unintentional from our standpoint. We had nothing to do with it. That’s why it’s so cool to be able to re-create yourself with intention and clarity. Create the IDEAL YOU. Then when you create that in the CONSCIOUS MIND, you feed it every day to the subconscious mind through repetition. Then that identity is who you become. Because that’s when it impacts your thoughts and actions automatically without thinking.

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 welcomes back Steve Prendergast as a guest on today show. It was Steve who came up with a line that your subconscious mind is either your greatest asset or your greatest challenge in life. John and Steve bat that idea around. And John points out that the fact that a person is wired for survival is the biggest thing a person has to overcome. And he makes the analogy using higher forms of life coming to earth. If there was a higher life form that came to our planet and observed our planet, they would observed that human beings are wired for survival. And therefore they are fear-based and reactive.

But in looking at modern society today, it looks like humans have a pretty cushy life. There’s nothing threatening their survival on a daily basis. They all want to be successful and happy. But being fear-based and reactive is exactly the opposite of how they need to be in order to be productive and happy. These enlightened aliens would likely say -well let’s just fix that and let’s go into their DNA and reprogram them. We learned how to do that light years ago. The Takeaway from that story is that you can wait for enlightened beings to come to earth and reprogram you or you can take the responsibility for reprogramming yourself for success right now.

John then goes on to make a key point. The methodology that he has created is an ACTUAL WAY OF DOING LIFE. NOT ANOTHER STRATEGY. But an actual way of doing life. It takes 12 minutes a day. And from what John can see in the success and human achievement field, nobody else is providing that. And from that way of doing life, which takes 12 minutes a day, you override being wired for survival. And you turn your subconscious mind from being your greatest nemesis into being your greatest asset. Giving yourself immense control over yourself.

In this episode of The Missing Secret Podcast, John shares with the audience something he did with his class at the University of Texas. John had a student play the 20-year-old version of John Mitchell. And John played the current version. John then imparted lessons to the 20-year-old version of himself that would make his life way easier and way more successful earlier. And here’s the essence of what it came down to. WORK SMARTER. But most of us are ingrained to just work harder. Big mistake. But the natural question is how do you work smarter?

At the end of the day, it comes down to understanding HOW THE HUMAN MIND WORKS. And the linchpin issue is that 95% of a person’s daily thoughts and actions are unconscious. Once a person gets the PROFOUND RAMIFICATIONS of that, their life is never the same. The BIG DOMINO DROPS. And here’s why. Your success in life comes down to your DAILY ACTIONS. If 95% your daily actions are unconscious, if you are not gaining control over those unconscious daily actions you’re playing the game of life at 5% of your potential.

And here’s the other key thing that comes from that. YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND CONTROLS YOUR LIFE. It’s either your greatest asset or your greatest nemesis and challenge. Contemplate that for minute. Here’s why that’s the case. We are all innately WIRED FOR SURVIVAL. That causes 75% of our thoughts be fear-based and we’re reactive rather than proactive on our agenda. Therefore if you do nothing to override being wired for survival, you live life fear-based and reactive every day. It’s a horrible way to live. But if you take control of your subconscious mind, and feed the succinct articulation of your life yourself each day, it’s a whole new ballgame. You’ll now wired yourself for success, rather than being wired for survival.

So it’s your choice. Do you want your subconscious mind to be your biggest asset, or do you want it to be your greatest challenge that you have to fight every day. It’s up to you. Controlling your subconscious mind only takes 12 minutes a day.
