- How do you develop self-awareness?
Knowing yourself.
Ultimately all knowledge means self-knowledge.
Understanding yourself.
(cool music)
I notice a lot of questions,
I see on social media that
what it boils down to
from the questions that type of questions
that I get is lack of self-awareness.
Example.
Hey Dan, what business should I invest in?
How should i get started?
What investments should I make?
What direction I should what path I should focus on?
Am I on the right path?
All these questions boils down to lack of self-awareness.
Not knowing yourself.
So how do you actually develop self-awareness?
I believe there are two main ways to do it.
Number one.
You could do it in a way where
when you've gone through a lot of hardships, a lot
of struggles you get to learn about who you truly are.
You've heard about this before.
They're under stress people reveal the true color,
and the same thing I believe under stress,
you also get to know more about your self.
So knowing yourself in terms of your personality type.
And there are a lot of different personality case
out there, right?
Even like strength finders.
What are your strengths?
What are you good at?
What are your weaknesses?
What are you not good at, all right?
What are you passionate about?
Once you have some basic understanding of
your personality type and your strengths and weaknesses,
and then once you have done enough things,
you have a pretty good idea of,
I could focus on this area or I should focus on that area.
It's like this question, right?
It's like I asked you what sports do you play?
Well, I don't know.
If you have not played a lot of sports you wouldn't know.
Are you good?
Are you tall?
Are you good at basketball?
Are you good at tennis?
Are you good golf?
Your patience?
Are you good at ping-pong, right?
Are you good with football because you're you're strong?
Like if you haven't tried enough things,
well how do you know what would you be good at?
It's the same insert with self-awareness.
If you have not tried enough things,
then you really don't know.
Well, am I on the right path?
Is this the right thing for me?
Is it the right career for me?
Is it the right vehicle, a business vehicle for me?
'cause you haven't tried enough things
versus just hearing someone saying this and saying that,
or you should do this you should do that.
No, you have to understand something here,
just because it works for somebody else,
it doesn't mean it work for you.
It might work for you but it might not work for you,
but it starts with that self-awareness.
The second thing is when I had no self-awareness
when sometimes in my career
when I was younger that I was lost,
one fortunate thing that I have was being able
to talk to my mentor.
Then my mentor would give me a lot of directions,
and clarity, right?
And clarity is, is power, right?
And empower is the ability to take action.
So my mentor would tell me.
"Hey Dan, you should focus on this,
you shouldn't focus on that"
That gives me more awareness,
and once I think about it,
I reflect and I ponder,
then I naturally given enough time,
naturally develop that self-awareness.
Does that make sense?
So really skew hard knocks through time, through experience,
you would develop something.
If you also know how to ask yourself like good questions
'cause you need to think about self-awareness
it's nothing more than internal communication,
and communicating with yourself, right?
And that's why with what I do,
even through my High Ticket Closer Program
the first three weeks of the program
really is all about self-awareness.
- This is Brandon.
I'm coming to you from Ottawa Canada,
and I just wanted to share in my double boom.
In the past 24 hours that had two calls.
I closed both of them,
and because of that I'm now gonna have $1,400
in my bank account Friday of next week,
but the thing is two days ago I had $5 to manage.
- People think that I just teach closing.
It's not about closing,
it is about developing that self-awareness,
so that you could close.
It's not about a script,
it's not about any of that.
It's about knowing yourself.
What has been holding you back, right?
What's the wall that's in front of you?
And how do break through all of that?
Then from there once you kinda find yourself,
and you know what's been holding you back,
it's almost like you find that lock and you unlock it.
Kinda like my new book you Unlock It.
Then everything that you learn
it takes to a whole new level.
You cannot do that until you first have that self-awareness.
That's the key difference, right?
And that's what makes it work.
Anyone can sells I mean the gazillion sells books out there.
Why are we able to produce so many success stories?
Because I'm giving them a skill.
I'm giving you, I'm giving my students a skill,
and I'm giving them self-awareness.
Not because I'm so phenomenal and so great.
It's not because of that.
It's because the methodology,
the systems that we have it works.
It just works.

Give yourself that self awareness.
Once you have it,
it doesn't matter what you do,
it doesn't matter what career you wanna pursue.
Doesn't matter you wanna be a closer or not.
If you want your business,
you wanna start another business,
you want to do something else,
you wanna start a side hustle,
it would give you that self-awareness.
From now on you will know oh, that's who you are.
That's what you are good at.
That's what you are made of, right?
And that you can take it anywhere.
Anywhere and that would become a solid foundation,
and then you can build from there.
