And I want to tell you what's in this box.
I learnt a technique from a spiritual teacher where every time I have a crazy
dream or a goal, I write it in a piece of paper and I put it in this box,
and I imagine as if this box is kind of like a genie or a magic machine,
and these goals come true.
So in this box you'll find some crazy stuff.
Don't ask me what this is.
It's a unicorn buck.
A Christmas card with "Star Wars" characters singing.
A broken arrow from a Harv Eker class, where I had to break an arrow
with my neck.
But this piece of paper, this piece of paper started it all.
And this is what we're going to talk about today.
This paper says June 2008, Mindvalley 300K in sales, okay?
Let me tell you what was going on there.
In May of 2008, I had been an entrepreneur for five years and I realized that I was
in a horrible situation.
We had 18 people working for Mindvalley back then, but we were making about a
quarter million a month in revenue, but we were losing money
every single month.
And we knew if this loss didn't stop, we were about to run out of cash in the
bank and we would have to let go of a good chunk of our team.
I tried everything; business consultants, marketing strategies, hiring MBAs,
nothing was changing that.
I went into one of those zones where I just couldn't focus and work because
the fear, the anxiety, was so great.
Now, back then, my life was really different.
I drove a tiny Nissan March.
I did not have enough money.
Everything was going to this company that was not really going anywhere for the
first five years.
And I lived in a room still in my parents' house.
You see, I had failed to realize that ultimately,
And I was trying all the physical outside tools, but not paying attention to the
stuff that's right here in between our ears.
I flew to San Diego to attend a class by a spiritual teacher.
I signed up for a four-day seminar by another personal growth master.
I went deep into the works of philosophers like Neale Donald Walsch and Esther Hicks.
This piece of paper where I'd written down my goal, 300K, we'd been stuck at 250K
for a year.
And all of a sudden, an idea clicked and we hit 300K.
So I thought, well, why not go a little further.
I took my team to the beach to celebrate and there, we held up a sign in the sand
with the word 500K.
In three months, we hit 500K.
Emboldened by ability to just grow all of a sudden so rapidly,
we set a new goal for 1 million.
And in a mere eight months from May 2008 when I put this in the box,
we hit a million.
But it wasn't a specific growth strategy.
It wasn't some grand new innovation.
and if you want to know the exact things that I learned, that caused me to pull
Mindvalley out of this situation of near death, moving from a tiny cramped
residential house to an office that just made Inc. Magazine
top 10 most beautiful offices, I want to invite you to join me on a
one-hour deep dive into these ideas.
You don't just have to be a CEO or a founder, this class is for anyone who
wants to get out of a slump, who feels you're kind of hitting a ceiling
and you've tried everything else.
And I want to show you how to break through this feeling by expanding your
levels of consciousness to go to new heights so that you transform the world
based on what you're feeling inside here.
So, the masterclass is happening all of this week.
It's completely free, go ahead and RSVP.
