About Micah

Micah Mitchell has been working with marketing automation through Infusionsoft ever since he dropped out of high school. He co-founded a membership site called Memberium and now coaches business owners on how to evolve their business mainly through online courses and training.

Why You Need Marketing Automation In Your Business

How He Started

• He dropped out of high school to work in customer relationship management (CRM) of a credit card processing company.
• The company grew because of memberships.
• He then left the company to become an entrepreneur and discovered Infusionsoft.

Creating Information Products for Marketing Automation

• Set up royalty agreements to protect both parties.

Sustain and Protect Value for Clients

• Creating value for clients is easier than sustaining and protecting it.
• It is better to dive in as soon as possible and figure things out along the way.

Marketing Automation: How to Avoid Mistakes

• Stop overcomplicating and over-engineering things.
• You should also focus on the simple processes and mechanisms that get the job done.

How to Measure and Track Your Business Effectively

• Keep it simple (avoid over-tracking)
• Use Google Analytics and affiliate links for internal metrics
• “Most of the inference we get from statistics is wrong.”

Building a Winning Company

• Hire slow; fire fast mentality (getting the right people is critical)
• People skills are overvalued; look for technically-skilled applicants.
• To the right person, punishments and incentives aren’t that important.
• In employees, passion for the product is more important than being business-savvy.
• “The opportunity cost of not just a bad person, but a mediocre person is incredible when you could just as easily have had a good person by trying a little harder to get them.”

Some Business Advice

• Invest in coaching as there is power in a single idea (millionaire coaching from Loral Langmeier).
• Make a habit of creating value from your problems and duplicating your efforts.

The Future of Marketing Automation

• Multi-thousand dollar consulting will be within reach of the masses for a lower price point.

It has been his life mission to help others in the pursuit of a better life by mentoring people of diverse backgrounds.

Scale Your Agency By Using Your Social Media Assets Better

Jordan’s Beginnings

• Jordan came from a middle-class family, not rich nor poor. 
• When he started working up the corporate ladder, he realized he’s not the type of person who wants to work for somebody else.
• He found a spark in doing business, and it served as his motivation.
• It was a college project that jumpstarted his marketing career.
• The reason for him getting kicked out was him giving his full attention to the events company he was handling. 
• After he was kicked out, he became hesitant to pursue his entrepreneurial aspirations.

What It Takes to Dive Into the World of Business

• You will not succeed in business if you do not commit to it full time.
• You may start with a side business to build your momentum.
• Once you have a roof over your head and food to keep you full, you can then dive in. 

Social Media Marketing Reminders

• Have the discipline to stick to your targets.
• You cannot control everything, but you can monitor what you do.
• Remember that rejections, in the world of business, are perfectly normal.
• If an opportunity comes your way, and you say yes without knowing anything about it, it forces you to start working on getting results.

Challenges in the World of Marketing

• He said yes to his first every client without knowing how to get serious results for them.
• This experience forced him to be serious about his path, and eventually, it all paid off. 
• He had little knowledge of running Facebook advertisements. 

The Reality of the Social Media Marketing World

• You can never truly understand it until you start implementing it.
• You have to be willing to talk to people.
• Movement is better than motivation.
• Scarcity is one of the fundamentals of partnerships and exclusivity. 

Advice for Struggling and Starting Entrepreneurs

• It is reasonable to feel overwhelmed.
• You do not need to invent something; you just have to refine something somebody else has already done. 
• Make your product or service better, make it your own, and make it unique.
• There is so much opportunity online, where almost everyone is doing nearly the exact same thing.
• Take the first step. Take the leap. 

Common Mistakes in Social Media Marketing

• Many tend to let their pipeline slip completely. They drop everything to put their full attention on one call. 
• Pouring all your attention to that one prospect will kill your business in case of rejection.
• People also tend to give up easily after one method or opportunity does not work for them.
• They don’t realise that if they see things through, any of the methods they tried could have worked successfully.

Habits of Successful Business People

• Successful people, in whatever career, have morning and daily routines. 
• Jordan treats mornings as absolute game-changers.
• Every night, write down the list of things you want to achieve the next morning. 

The Future of Social Media Marketing

• There will be a lot of changes in social media marketing.
• As a business owner, Jordan advises everyone to be very liquid and be up for the change. 
• Start looking into augmented reality and put it into emerging e-commerce stores.

Master the Art of High Ticket Sales with Kayvon Kay

Selling services and products, knowing what the market needs, and negotiating with clients are just some of the basics of entrepreneurship. With so many business coaches and entrepreneurial advice dominating the marketing world, determining what to believe can be very tricky. How do we make sure we are listening to the right people so we can also close high ticket sales?

 

In today’s episode, sales and closing expert Kavyon Kay shares his tips and knowledge on how we can all be more effective entrepreneurs. He will also share his experiences, learned lessons, and the methodology to help the aspiring entrepreneur in you!

 

Check out the highlights below, and make sure to tune in for a more detailed discussion!

About Our Guest

Kayvon Kay is the creator of One-Call Closer Methodology, a multimillion-dollar coaching program. He is considered a master of sales and closing on top of his expertise as a keynote speaker. Through his perseverance and unwavering determination, he dominated the industry of sales. His experience spans over twenty years of working and closing deals with some of the highest-paid consultants and most influential coaches. 

How to Master the Art of High Ticket Sales

How Does an Entrepreneur Start?

• Kayvon never listened to the status quo because he knows he is not part of it.
• In business, you need to think smarter, act quicker, and think outside the box.
• To start, you have to find your skill and create a business around that skill.
• On earning while doing your thing: be in line, in harmony, and congruent with who you are as a person.

Working on Your Weakness

• You need to double your strength. To do this, you can build a team of people who are strong where you are weak.
• You do not always have to get it right; you just have to get it going.
• The process includes making mistakes and even trusting the wrong people.

Organize, Organize, Organize

• Being an entrepreneur is more than just being someone who answers the phone, makes the sales, mops the floors, and does the bookkeeping. An entrepreneur is someone who organizes.
• Business is bringing a group of people together. Then, you lead, train, and organize them to achieve a common goal
• Marketing is a group of people working on a unified goal, helping another group of people via a product or service.

"Sell" It Before It's "Built"

• You first have to know if there is a market for your product. 
• Before working on it, you need to secure that people are willing to shell out cash for your product or service.
• Gauge the success probability before the product or service launch.
• It is a technique and mechanism used even by successful online platforms such as Amazon to ensure market engagement.

Salespeople Are Performers

• Kayvon sees himself as someone who inspires and motivates others to get from where they are to where they want to be. 
• Selling is the successful transference of energy and connection. 
• Salespeople do all the talking and closers ask the right questions.

Making High Ticket Sales: Where Do Most People Go Wrong?

• They act like a typical salesperson by overselling and justifying their value.
• An average salesperson often shows too many promises, enthusiasm, and excitement.
• They talk about the products and features instead of the service and outcomes.

What Is a True Salesperson?

• Kayvon regards a real salesperson as a doctor: having the authority and asking the right question to diagnose a problem.
• A real salesperson creates boundaries and containers around their relationship with their clients.
• Do not listen only to what the prospects are saying; rather, listen intently to what they are not saying.

Salespeople vs. Closers

• Salespeople do not create safe environments for their prospects, while closers do so to foster better decisions.
• Salespeople make things about themselves. On the other hand, closers make it about their prospects.
• With closers, it’s not about themselves nor the commission, but the mission.

Bridging the Gap to Make High Ticket Sales

• Closing is 80% listening, 20% talking, where talking should be asking the right questions.
• Listening results in understanding the prospect's problem. In turn, the closer must find the bridge for them.
• Do business with the people you like, trust, and with whom you can bridge the gap.

Three Levels of Pain and the Right Questions

• The first level of pain is surface pain. It is where one asks about the nature of the business and what can be changed for it to work.
• The deeper level is financial pain. This level is where the entrepreneur determines how long his business can run before losing its track.
• Personal pain is the deepest level of pain. It is where one asks how drastic it is going to affect the private life of the prospect.

The Methodology for Making High Ticket Sales

• The first thing to remember is to refrain from being a traditional salesperson, skip the chasing. 
• Kayvon has the prospects call him, not the other way around, and this makes him the expert in the relationship.
• The first call should not be about selling. Instead, it should be about asking the prospect where they are at in the business.

Habits of a Good Closer

• Every day, be prospecting. Reach out and connect to people, converse and socialize.
• A good closer connects with his intent every day and knows where he is headed.
• Make it a habit to connect to your best, authentic self.

Health Is Wealth: Healthy Weight Reduction And Myths on Weight Loss with David Medansky

If yes, you're not alone.  We all want a healthy and productive lifestyle, but most of us often find it hard to make a significant change. Healthy weight reduction doesn't necessarily have to be hard or scary. It can even be fun if done in the right and healthy way. 

 

In this episode, David Medansky shares his experiences on reducing weight the healthy way and sheds light on the weight loss myths on weight loss. He emphasizes how being misinformed and lacking education about reducing weight impede people's weight loss journeys. He also talks about how our environment affects our health and the habits we must practice to maintain and live a healthy lifestyle.

 

Join us and learn more about healthy weight reduction and myths on weight loss. Get ready to make a positive change in your life!

About Our Guest:

David Medansky is a retired divorce attorney and an international best-selling author of books for successful, healthy weight reduction. Having experienced weight problems before, his two books, Discover Your Thinner Self and If Not Now, When are about his inspirational journey. Through his work, he wishes to help others make a positive change in their lives.

Healthy Weight Reduction and Weight Loss Myths

David’s Weight Loss Journey

• David used to be health-conscious when he was younger. However, due to life problems, his weight started to creep upon him.
• He decided to lose weight but found it hard to maintain it, often reverting to his old habits.
• He finally decided to lose weight the right way after his doctor told him he has a 95% chance of having a heart attack. 
• David then decided to share the things he learned after observing that there’s a lot of misinformation and myths about weight reduction.

Weight Loss Myths

• One of the most famous myths about weight loss is reducing calories and moving more will equate to weight loss. There is a difference between healthy calories and empty calories.
• Depriving yourself of proper nutrition will force your body to go into starvation mode, which fights to keep the weight.  
• Eliminating carbohydrates will result in weight loss is not entirely true. Complex carbohydrates are right for you. 
• Another famous myth is people think if they exercise more, they’ll reduce weight more. People tend to underestimate the calories they consume and overestimate the calories they burn.   
• Orange juice is not all healthy. It is better to squeeze and eat real fruits.
• Not all salads are healthy. The dressings loaded with fats and other toppings turn salads into an unhealthy meal.

The “Bliss Point”

• The “bliss point” is a term coined by Howard Moskowitz, who was hired by the food industry to engineer people’s cravings for food for 30 years.
• Processed foods are alarmingly increasing today.
• Foods in grocery stores contain chemicals to stop spoilage. These may hurt your health when you consume them.
• People will be shocked to know the ingredients of what they are eating if they read the label on the food products. 

Sourcing Your Food 

• Pastured eggs are a better option. These eggs came from hens that forage their food, which makes them more natural than cage- or range-free eggs.
• Chemical fertilizers used in soil nowadays aren’t helping your body. The land is a living, breathing organic thing that you have to seed. The healthier the ground, the more robust the crop you have.    
• Some of the fish that people consume nowadays have so much plastic in their system.

Diet and Exercise 

• Queen’s University conducted a study that says that exercise is a terrible way to lose weight. It’s all diet. 
• However, David emphasizes that exercise improves your brain; therefore, it enhances your thinking and your judgment.
• A healthy person makes healthy decisions. 
• Specifically, for weight reduction, it’s almost entirely diet. 

Living in a Food Desert 

• There’s just a small percentage of people that invest in the prevention of diseases caused by an unhealthy lifestyle.
• He quoted Dr. David L. Katz, who said that the quality of life in years is more important than the years in life. 
• One of the reasons society is having this problem is due to the perversion of health sciences. A lot of them have been bought out by major corporations like Coca-Cola and Pepsi. The studies are compromised.
• A food desert is a place where it’s like a desert. There’s no water, no real food. Just like these days, everywhere you go, there’ll be fast food joints, meals in a box, etc.
• Cardiovascular, respiratory, blood and endocrine disorders are preventable through regular exercise and healthy food.

Habits for a Healthy Lifestyle 

• Reduce and eliminate soda and diet soda. Replace fruit juices with pure drinking water. 
• Green tea, herbal tea, and black coffee are good for you.
• Use MCT oil; it’s from coconut oil. It will help your body quickly burn visceral fat.
• Alongside MCT oil, a quarter teaspoon of ground cinnamon and half a teaspoon of raw honey mixed in a drink is also good.
• The cinnamon acts as a metabolism booster. Raw honey also has health benefits.
• Eat slower and use smaller plates. 
• Have adequate sleep. Drink more water and prepare a healthy meal. 
• Eat more fruits like berries, watermelon, and pomegranate.
• Choosing food that is unhealthy is not all just for convenience; sometimes, people don’t know healthy foods. 
• Don’t overtrain yourself.
• Words are powerful. Always ask yourself, “What can I do to eat healthier?”

On Intermittent Fasting 

• If used properly, it has benefits. If not, it’s detrimental.
• People are doing intermittent fasting while not recognizing it.
• Intermittent fasting is good for body maintenance and health maintenance.
• When reducing weight, however, there are different things you can do to modify your eating behaviours and daily routines. 

Reducing Weight That Lasts 

• Do it gradually so that it will be sustainable. 
• Eat slower and in smaller portions.
• Eat holistic foods, mostly plant-based.
• Little things add up. Small habits always matter.
• Create new patterns that are enjoyable for you so that you don’t feel deprived.
• Make a healthy choice and decide to make simple changes.

The Hows of Pinterest Marketing — With Tammie Jones

Trends are not constant. In an ever-changing industry, businesses need to ensure that they are always on the top of their game, and their content remains relevant to customers. You can achieve this through the right marketing strategy, coupled with the proper tools and platforms to meet your business goals. 

 

In this episode, Tammie Jones shares her journey as a marketing strategist. She talks about how she has helped her clients sell their products online and build the right email list using Pinterest. She also gives powerful insights on how to develop the ideal content for Pinterest and ensure that it reaches a wide range of audiences. Join us and learn how you can use Pinterest to level up your marketing.

 

About Our Guest: 

Tammie Jones is a marketing strategist who specializes in Pinterest for business owners, entrepreneurs, social media agencies, and content creators. She helps clients plan and implement a strategy for Pinterest to gain brand awareness, find the best leads for email lists, and increase the sales of product owners. 

 

Using Pinterest as a Marketing Platform

 

Tammie’s Beginnings

• She started as a manager at Walmart and was involved in sales and marketing.
• Her degree in Architecture was an upper hand. She was exposed to designing houses and similar projects.
• She quit her job and decided to start her agency. 
• She enrolled in a course teaching how to do Pinterest. Tammie started with cold messaging Etsy shops.

 

Challenges and Solutions in Entry Level Pinterest Marketing 

• The biggest challenge was overcoming the mindset blocks.
• Getting rid of the clients that were not serving her in value

• Focus on valuable clients.
• Read books on cybernetics and other books about achieving success in business.
• Retrain your mindset by taking out negative thoughts.
• Have a solid support system.

 

Pinterest as a Platform

• Pinterest is a search engine.
• Just use good SEO and keywords, and people will find you.
• Make sure that you are using the correct words for searchability.
• You need quality graphics to get a potential customer's attention.

 

Myths and Facts About Pinterest 

• Just like every platform, it continually changes.
• One of the misconceptions is that you need to have strong impressions and a lot of followers so that your website will have traffic.
• The trend in social media, which is having more likes and more interaction, doesn't necessarily translate to Pinterest.

 

The Demographics of Pinterest

• It's not only for certain industries
• However, some specific sectors challenged her because of the marketing efforts that did not translate into sales, such as trucking and men's swimwear and clothing company.
• She had a hard time because there weren't enough men on Pinterest.
• However, you can employ strategies for almost any industry.

 

Core Strategies in Utilizing Pinterest

• Consistency in pinning every single day
• The client's goal should be the basis of your strategy. Begin with the end in mind.

 

Building an Email list vs. Getting Sales 

• Getting Sales: Drive on whatever the products are (e.g., get as many pictures of the product and put out fresh content) 
• Email list: You need to have several leads (e.g., have some freebies related to your target people to have them sign up)

 

Pinterest for Marketing

• Avoid "spamming" Pinterest with all the photos of your products.
• Have 3–5 interval days or even more for putting out your product to the relevant boards.
• Be part of group boards and Tailwind Tribes.
• Aside from spacing your pins, you should also use different images 
• You need to find similar but not competing content to share to give your followers more value.

• Give your audience a lot of things to look at on your page, not just your content.
• Utilize a scheduler in sharing content. Do not schedule for more than three weeks because trends change quickly.
• Keep on top of your analytics.
• Take advantage of viral content.

 

Pinterest and Other Social Media Platforms

• "Do not put all of your eggs in one basket." If one of the platforms shuts down, you will lose your audience.
• Spread out your marketing. If you stay on one platform, you are not going to reach a wider audience.
• Have good leads and build your email list.
• No matter what medium you use, it will take a lot of planning and strategy.

 

Paid Ads in Pinterest

• Pinterest offers to show your content in the search tab and browse section.
• You can also use an email list and target the people who have already parked to purchase. You can also target lookalike audiences.
• Utilize keyword research.
• You can set up through Google Analytics/UTM a code that you can attach to each pin for tracking.

 

Pinterest as a Powerful Search Engine Tool 

• You also do predictive searching like Google.
• It can provide you sets of keywords that are performing well by giving you exactly how many clicks each word is getting and where the keyword showed up.
• Look for keywords every day.
• You need to be at the forefront because customers are everywhere.

Building Your Success Profile with Brian Wright

Some people spend their entire lives working their way to success. We often wonder how successful people made it to the top and what their mindsets are. Being a high-achiever requires the most of what you can give and the best qualities you can develop. 

 

In this episode, Brian Wright of Success Profiles Radio joins us to share the lessons he acquired from talking with high-achievers, as well as his personal experiences in attaining success. He emphasizes the importance of gratitude and building the proper network for your business. If you want to learn how you can stay motivated, be inspired, and lead others—fitting of a high-achiever—make sure that you listen to this podcast!

 

About Our Guest:

Brian Wright is the host of Success Profiles Radio and publisher of Success Profiles Magazine. Over the years, he has interviewed world-class achievers. Through Success Profiles and his own experience, Brian seeks to inspire, motivate, and educate aspiring entrepreneurs to become a higher version of themselves. Brian is also the author of three books, and he ghostwrites books for clients. 

 

Brian's Insights on Success Profiles

Brian's Beginnings

• He learned what it's like to run a business on his father's farm.
• He left graduate school for some time because of burnout and tried various jobs, such as working in a call center, selling insurance, and resumé writing.
• In 2012, he started his radio show while still working a full-time job. And just in 2017, he went full time.
• Brian warns that if you don't like what you're doing, and you become good at it, that's what you'll keep getting.

 

Going Full-Time and Running Your Own Business

• For Brian, the greatest challenge is whether he could make a full-time income.
• Unlike people who grew up with an entrepreneurial background, it was a huge paradigm shift for someone used to working for other people.
• You must keep planting the seeds while you're harvesting because if you don't, the cycle will start again.

 

The Commonalities of Successful People

• They don't give up, no matter how hard the situation is.
• They seek mentoring relationships to find out what they need to know.
• It is vital to invest in yourself first before asking someone to invest in your programs.
• They have positive mindsets, and they stick around people who will lift them.

 

The Importance of Collaboration

• The force of the average is strong.
• People who think in terms of competition have a scarcity mindset.
• On the other hand, those who have an abundance mindset realize that the pie is infinite.
• It's far-fetched to immediately become business partners with someone you meet at a networking event.
• You have to build relationships.

 

Why Should You Maintain Gratitude

• If you're not thankful for what you have, you will not be given something more significant to be grateful for.
• There is always something to be grateful for, even in adverse situations. However, you also have to learn your limits.
• Listing down 100 things that you're thankful for and reading that as often as possible will make a significant shift in your mind.

Advice for People Who Are Struggling

• There's no way to know how the chain of events will unfold.
• You have to be aggressively thankful for what you have and take nothing for granted.
• Make an effort to lean on the people who are close to you.
• When you keep your mind occupied with other things, the wrong things will not hold you at the same time.

The Greatest Mistakes That Hinder Success

• Thinking that you know it all
• Thinking that you don't need other people's advice
• Once you reach a certain level of success and notoriety, there will be a lot of noise around you that you will need to filter. You have to stay focused on your goal.

 

Knowing When to Say 'No'

• Don't be afraid to say 'no.'
• In the beginning, you're ready to say 'yes' to a lot of things because you're trying to build momentum.
• However, once you’re established, you can say 'no' to a few things.
• Sometimes, people will say 'no' to test you—they test who will follow up and who is serious.

 

The Future of Collaboration

• Brian thinks that the more we rely on technology, the more secluded we're going to be.
• Relying on technology affects the way you interact with people when you see them face-to-face.

Dr. Buck's Insights on Establishing Your Online Business and Social Media Branding

Doctor Turned Entrepreneur

• His family of business owners influenced him. Even while still in med school, building a business was always in the back of his mind.
• During his research year in residency in 2006, he started researching about online businesses and e-commerce stores.
• He stumbled upon ebooks for sale and took inspiration from it, spending about six months researching and building his website.
• He optimized email marketing and used Google AdWords to market affiliate products.
• The product was in demand at that time, so his competitors spent more money on their marketing. He slowly drifted out with the changing environment.

Taking It to Social Media

• When he finished his residency, he released his weight-loss course.
• When he was cast on a TV survival show, people from all over the world were asking him information about being a doctor.
• It gave him the idea to take it to social media. Within nine months, he gained a following of about 100,000 on Instagram and nearly 50,000 subscribers on YouTube.
• He then realized that he could monetize it.
• He built a video course on how to study effectively for students, especially those who want to get into medicine.

Phases and Milestones

• In the beginning, he did his own SEO by writing articles and creating backlinks. He also did personal ads. 
• The first phase helped him understand how everything works together. So when he hires someone, he knows whether they’re doing a good job or not.
• Then, the second phase is learning that you can’t be an expert at everything.
• The third phase is realizing you can’t do everything alone; you can’t go big without strategic partners.

The Power of Social Media Branding and Influencers

• The best thing you could do with your money is to have influencers promote your products.
• This strategy helps build your brand’s reputation.
• He explains that it is a “slippery slope” because some influencers don’t know their value. If you do it right, however, it can be powerful.

The Biggest Mistakes in Running an Online Business

• The mindset of doing everything on your own.
• You have to make mistakes and learn from other people.
• Trying to focus on too many things.

The Future of Online Businesses

• In the next 5 to 10 years, Dr. Buck thinks that there would be a lot more “sneaky marketing.”
• Marketing would be more personalized and specific to a niche or a market.

Being a Doctor and an Entrepreneur

• He looks at patient experience, like selling in customer service.
• Some surgeons don’t like his channel because it seems too raw for them. However, Dr. Buck says it’s his way of speaking to his market.

Habits to Success

• Learning is lifelong.

 

• “Nobody’s successful at anything they don’t like.”

Coaching the Mind with Mohammed Sheikh

The past can trigger us in so many ways. Low self-esteem is possibly linked to past experiences, and it might take a long time to recover from traumatic experiences. Some even take anti-depressants, but it still would not do any good. Learn how coaching your mind can be a helpful solution to this.

 

In today’s episode, Coach the Mind's founder, Mohammed Sheikh, will help us heal and remove our emotional baggage through our unconscious mind. Tune in to the show and learn how you can start to let go of what's holding you back.

About Our Guest:

Mohammed Sheikh trained under the approach of neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), which is about the study of human experience. He also trained in hypnosis and began to deconstruct the unconscious beliefs and behaviours that create a person's experience. He started conducting workshops and later became a Certified Trainer with HeartMath Institute.

Mohammed’s Insights on Coaching Your Mind

Mohammed’s Beginnings

• Mohammed was one of the top achievers in his grade school, but everything changed when he entered university.
• He was always afraid and anxious to go to class.
• Later, he was diagnosed with depression and dropped out of school.

Anxiety as a Lifechanger

• Mohammed said that his depression made him understand a lot of things.
• We should spend more time thinking about things that make us happy.

How to Change Ourselves: Coaching the Mind

• Mohammed clarified that it is not motivation that would make you change; instead, it’s our principles and values.
• We gain self-esteem when we accomplish something. However, if we fail, we should learn from that experience, and we will be able to grow.

Coaching Your Mind Through Meditation and Hypnosis

 

• Mohammed compared meditation and hypnosis to a radio.

• Meditation is all about being present. It is like having access to the volume of a radio.

• With hypnosis, on the other hand, you can “program the station.”

 

Recreating Yourself as a Mental Image

• Mohammed explained that what happened in the past is a distortion or a representation of the present.

How to Overcome Self-Limiting Beliefs

• List down everything you want to do in life, whether big or small.
• "I am" statements are already hypnosis, and if it is said with congruence, it becomes real.
• Mohammed says that we need to access our creative or dreamer selves because that’s where the work happens.
