As you can see I have a lovely guest next to me.
This is John Asaraff.
He’s amazing.
I’ve had them on the show before so I’m really excited to have you back John.
It’s great to be back.
I haven’t had too many repeat so I’m very happy that you are one of the repeaters.
Me too…
A repeat offender…
Yes, there you go.
There you go.
So let me just introduce you a little bit.
I am sure you don’t need any introduction but John is one of the leading behavioral
and mind set experts in the world with the unique ability for helping people release
the mental and emotional obstacles that prevent them from achieving their very best.
And in 10 years he has written two New York Times best-selling books.
Appeared on Larry King live eight times and has been featured of course in the movie The
Secret.
He has built five multimillion dollar companies and he is just an amazing man.
I just love every time I have interaction with him, with you said just thank you for
being here.
Thank you for that great introduction.
I always love to connect with you.
To share your message in my message…
To help people.
Absolutely, absolutely.
So one of the things I want to talk about with you because you have done amazing research
in brain discoveries are really critical for success…
So where then some of the new brain discoveries that really are critical for us to have success
in our lives?.
Well there are so many but there are a few that are really important.
That I think will really help anybody understand what causes them to take action and really
go after their goals and dreams or really have goals and dreams but procrastinate, fill
doubtful, or insecure, or uncertain.
One of the most fascinating fun discoveries is that we have this desire to acquire circuit
in our brain that is really part of our biological need to acquire more things just in case something
goes wrong.
So every human being has this inner feeling for wanting to you know acquire whether it’s
more money, more safety, more food, more security…
And we also discovered that there are spiritual circuits that light up in the brain.
Motivational circus and light up in the brain.
What happens when somebody sets a goal that is outside of their current comfort zone,
before they really start to take action and after they are motivated by the initial goal…
A circuit that kicks in is the fear circuit.
That is important for one really specific reason.
When you are motivated to do something and you have this goal that you want to achieve.
Whether it’s you want to make more money or get in a relationship or stay in a great
relationship, or any goal that you have that you haven’t achieved…
Dopamine is released in the brain and you feel good.
But then a secondary circuit kicks in usually that is part of the fear circuit and that
starts the process of going into your memory banks and looking for anything in your past
that may be associated with the new goal and dream that you may have.
Memory parts of your brain to activate first are anything to do with when you’ve failed
before.
When you’ve been embarrassed before.
Whether you felt ashamed before.
Whether you felt disappointed either in yourself or others felt disappointed in you.
That activates the right prefrontal cortex of our brain and shuts down the motivational
center of the brain.
That’s why a lot of people set goals and they initially get motivated…
Because they have this excitement, to have this new knowledge, the gains in the skills
but then another part of the brain kicks in a goes…
What if you fail?
What if you succeed and you can continue it?
What if you embarrass yourself?
What if, what if, what if,…
And most people don’t know how to recognize that an Internet light switch off like a light
switch and then turn the switch on the lights up the genius part of your brain that says
well, what if I do succeed?
How can I succeed?
What can I do to mitigate the risks of these things that are coming back from my past?
And this happens at a very, very quick unconscious level and unless you learn to pay attention
and be aware of your emotion and feelings and recognize that your emotions…
Are nothing more than signals.
They are telling you here’s what’s happening in the engine.
So you are telling me that we all have the ability that we want to acquire things?
Could that be why want to acquire more and more shoes?
You have a passion for shoes like my wife does.
You have the desire to acquire.
Have more, more, more.
More is a natural tendency for a lot of people.
Yes, I think your wife’s is with shoes and purses…
Correct?
Shoes and purses…
Yes that is why we get along so well.
So let me ask you this.
You talk about, you and I talk about universal laws all the time.
So you talk about the law of financial laws of compensation.
Financial compensation.
So can you talk a little bit about what that is and how we can actually acquire that and
our lives?
Sure, and I think of life as a whole I think of different levels that we are playing.
Something called semp SEMP.
There is the spiritual side which I believe is the higher level of our being.
There is the emotional side, the mental side which is our ability to stay focused, they
focus, stay clear.
And then there is the physical side.
Well, when we are talking about touching things on the physical world…
The law of compensation is well how do we make money on earth?
On this little blue planet that we live in.
The loss of compensation is not that, think it, believe it, and you will achieve it.
That’s one part of the equation.
You have to have that but in the world of commerce you have to ask yourself is there
a need for my knowledge?
My product?
Or my service?
Because if you think about money, just money…
If you go back enough in time you will find that we created this concept of money as a
means of exchange.
So whether I gave you chocolates or a horse, or pig, or food for whatever it is that you
did as your craft or skill or vocation…
Three, four, 5000 years ago…
It was a means of exchange.
So we used livestock and a whole bunch of other items to exchange things.
Whether we exchanged horses for gold or gold for horse etc. well, once the currency model
got a little bit too heavy to carry it around and it became electronic funds transfer in
this for that.
The first thing that people need to realize around money is money is an idea.
It’s a means of exchange.
So first you ask yourself is there a need for my knowledge?
My product?
Or my service?
And if the answer is yes, then great.
Then check that off.
Then you ask yourself well…
How many other people are offering you know what it is that I either know or have that
I want to use in exchange?
If you are rare, your value goes up.
Like a rare painting, a rare diamond, a rare car.
So there where are you are because you are so unique and you upgrade your knowledge,
or your skills, or your service to the highest level…
You can charge more.
But then there’s a third equation that equal to our balances out the entire landscape and
that is your ability to get your product or service or knowledge in front of us many people
either locally, nationally, or around the world who actually take.
So that is a skill that you can learn.
There are people that have amazing products, services, and ideas but they don’t know
how to get that in front of a lot of people.
They try and try and try and instead of figuring out…
Will hook it up partner with that could help me do that?
So if you understand the laws of compensation and you understand your strengths in your
abilities and you elicit the help of other people who have other skills, other contacts,
other tools, other resources…
Then you start to really utilize the loss of compensation in a way that will help you
take your genius product, service, knowledge etc. and share with the world.
In exchange for that stuff that everybody wants…
Is more money.
Perfect, I love it.
Great explanation.
I do always say that money is green energy.
It’s really a means of exchange.
Just like you said.
So what am I giving…
How am I serving to then be able to receive money in return?
An industry that I am in with coaching and a training coaches I see a lot of coaches
for example feel like I’m giving my service away but I feel we’re collecting money.
When it’s like you’re actually doing a disservice.
You are working against the universal law.
If you’re giving something that you needed to be only be compensated for in return.
Absolutely…
And there’s one other piece of it that you just mentioned I think it was worthwhile expression
to people…
I had a client…
She wasn’t a client initially.
Her name was Joni and she was in her 60s and she was actually caregiver.
She lived in a small town in the outback of Australia and she didn’t believe that she
was worthy of charging for her services.
She went to people’s homes as a caregiver and one started placing a value on her services
and herself she went from living on a widow’s salary of $12,000 a year to $75,000 a year…
And 12 months she change the way she thought about herself and doing the same thing that
she was doing before and accepting people’s desire to pay her.
She started making $75,000 year.
She was like oh my God I make more money and more this year than I have in six years.
Now she is teaching people who are seniors how to increase their self-worth so that can
increase their net worth.
And live there life a little bit more freedom and discretionary time and money.
I love that…
It’s so true.
When you know your value and own that value and self-worth and you receive money for in
return.
So I love that.
So let me ask you this…
You are such an inspirational person.
I know everybody the nation personally that I’ve had on show and have seen the show…
You are out of the world.
Everyone is just so inspired by you.
I know personally I am to.
What inspires you?, I wrote a little post in my community yesterday around my highest
values.
My number one value was God.
The second is health, the third his family, the fourth is contribution my fifth is fun
and experiences.
So I believe that I have certain gifts, certain abilities as a result of my life.
What inspires me is to take the knowledge that I’ve acquired…
The processes, systems, the information to be able to help make other people’s lives
is a little bit easier for them to live.
So they can smile more, love more, be happier, the more fulfilled.
That gives me a lot of joy.
I love it.
There are certain things that are really easy for me.
Others studying neuroscience or neuropsychology…
Understanding it or understanding their brain a little bit more than I used to.
And then to show the people that yes you may have traumas, fears, doubts, and anxieties…
Or you lack confidence, or you lack certainty…
But so does everybody else and here is how to understand it and here’s how to just
over, and get to your next level.
I just love helping people as my mentors help me.
So that’s what gives my life so much purpose and meaning beautiful, well thank you for
sharing that.
I appreciate you being on the show.
I appreciate you being a friend.
So thank you for what you do in my life and in everybody’s lives and John, I know you
have an upcoming Brain-a-Thon….
Can you talk a little bit about that and how people can learn more about it?
Oh, absolutely.
The brain-a-thon is my way of bringing together some of the top neuroscientists and psychologists
in the world and we are doing a full day of free training to help people recognize the
latest brain research and psychology research on being able to change their minds.
What I mean by that is letting go of their doubts, fears, anxieties, lack of confidence,
lack of certainty, or comments or anything is happened in their life.
So they can basically take the stuff that is destructive, are sabotaging their success
so they can create a clear path for them to be able to live a no excuse life.
A no story is going to hold me back type life.
We really want to empower people with the latest tools and technologies and research.
Shatter their financial glass ceiling so they can live an amazing life.
The brain-a-thon is an entire day event that people can sign up and join for an hour, two
hours, or the entire seven a half hours.
You know it’s an amazing gift.
It is truly an amazing gift.
