big think revolution is this people often ask me how did you get where you are
how do you have the mindset that you have how do you push through things
that would crush other people i mean some of you guys have seen just in the last year me pushed
through things that would have maybe crushed other individuals because i'm very transparent about
what happens in my world and in business and all of those things some of you may have seen me go
through some things that could have crushed folks and some of you in the last two years in the last
two years there have been a lot of things that would have made someone made anybody else probably
go back like under a rock and just hide but i don't do that i turn it around for what's best
i turn it around i turn every single situation that could be meant to harm me
could be meant to disable me or make me feel like i can't do something i turn it all around
always always always for the good of the people around me that isn't something i was born with
that was something that was developed that state of mind was developed okay so whenever people say
like you know they start their business and maybe it doesn't work out the way that they
wanted it to and then they're like well i guess i can't do this okay then it's not gonna work
out for you but if you were to instead look at things like like they really are look at things
as places to grow that's where you actually start to build out this mindset i need to get into this
further than that because it's not just that because i can't just tell you something and
have you do it here's the thing i want to make this super super clear for you what i have done
to develop my own mindset in the last 11 years so remember the beginning of the 11 years for me was
sitting on a couch as an alcoholic bad alcoholic lost my job i was a bartender i was an alcoholic
so i lost my job because a bartender isn't a great job for an alcoholic heads up lost my job
sitting in the basement of somebody else's house not a great basement either i appreciate i show
gratitude for somebody letting me live in their basement because it's the only place i had to live
but it's not like i was living the lifestyles of the rich and famous by any means i couldn't even
afford food for myself i fed my dog cheeseburgers and i couldn't even feed myself i was a mess
that is where it started okay i started working on my mind at that point because
i remember staring at the wall and thinking like what happened what went sideways for me
because i my my childhood was great i was blessed i had fantastic parents but somehow i had taken
these side steps and it's the smallest steps that get us off of our path but then what gets us back
on our path are consistent small steps back onto our path okay but i had gotten off my path so far
that i was like oh my gosh what am i supposed to do here that is where the mindset work started
but that's where i believed in myself enough to start actually working with my mind to start
actually training my brain at the very beginning of it i had to approach it like i hope this works
i hope this stuff actually works because i didn't know all i had was somebody telling
me yeah this works and and it was somebody that was selling me something right and so i was like
they might be right and they might not be right i don't know i hope it works
and so i started working with my mind here's the thing i started going off the path of what even
people were telling me to do and i started taking my own directives i started changing even what i
was hearing from other people on what to do i started i started forging my own path of what
i was going to do to create this impenetrable mind this mind that does not allow for defeat
this mind that does not accept failure this mind that only sees winning
only sees positive impact and positive change in the world and anything else just doesn't matter
it doesn't affect me it doesn't make me like real you know like oh my gosh i've been hit no
i don't even do that you guys that have seen me in the last year or two i don't even do that
it's straight up strength that's what we need you guys that's what our minds need to be we
need to have what our mind sees and believes we can create you guys it's a tool our creator has
given us do not get it twisted i'm not talking about manifesting i'm not talking about woo-woo
stuff you guys i'm talking about real science real data neuroplasticity this stuff is from god
don't get it twisted this is the tool the brain is the tool we have been given to bring heaven down
it is the tool we have been given to create a new world here you guys it's our job in genesis
we learn what that we are supposed to take dominion over the world somehow that got lost
and dare i say that got lost in a grand narrative that does not serve us right
we started believing that we don't have any value we started believing that we don't have
any control we started believing we can't create things unless somebody else somewhere whoever
gives us permission to do so that's what i'm telling you is complete garbage so when i talk
about the big think revolution i'm gonna create some big thinkers some people that start creating
a world big think is the mind it's creating the inner world that can then create the outer world
that's what it is and it's everything i have done i don't teach you guys something that i haven't
done i don't regurgitate stuff i am literally outlining here's what i did here's what i did
on a daily basis here's why here's how i handled the speed bumps here's how i handled the days
where i didn't think i was going to be able to get through early on here's how i handle them now it's
and then workbooks for you guys to be able to be writing it down and moving through your life
you will not be the same person afterward you guys you will not be the same person you will
become exactly who you were destined to be with the confidence and the belief that you can do it
the only thing that ever holds anybody back from success is whether they believe it or not
and that's what this is it's developing those skill sets developing those beliefs
getting them entrenched in you becoming part of you on a cellular level that's what the big think
revolution is this is how we change the world i need your mind to be straight i need you to be
confident i need you to be in control i need you to be showing up as a freaking warrior you guys
