In this episode of The Missing Secret Podcast, John and Kelly explained that as human beings, we are all innately wired for survival. That’s not a good thing. Because it causes 75% of our thoughts to be fear-based, we’re reactive rather than proactive on our important agenda, and we’re profoundly resistant to change. Now those things were actually what kept us alive 50,000 years ago, but it’s exactly the opposite of how we need to be in order to be productive, creative and happy in the modern world. So you have to overcome being wired for survival.

But there’s other aspects as well that come with being wired for survival. It causes us to be lazy, causes us to be self focused. An example of being self focused is what you experienced during the Christmas season. Seeing friends and family. How often did they ask about you? Probably not very often. Because most people are so totally self focused and they’re not even aware of it. But that’s the effect of being wired for survival. And you overcome being wired for survival using the 12 minute a day technique John and Kelly talk about.

And John brings up something else that’s interesting. There’s a fundamental problem with the success and human achievement business. The problem is it doesn’t materially impact people’s success. Because the industry by and large misses one fundamental fact. 95% of a person’s daily thoughts and actions are unconscious. In the success and human achievement field, everyone is pitching different strategies. Things like focus on what moves the needle, be highly organized, have a system for personal growth. And hundreds of more of strategies.

But you don’t need more strategies. You need to be able to take the great strategies you already know and make them happen automatically without thinking. So when the success and human achievement field pitches different strategies to your conscious mind, all it is doing is impacting your intentions. Since 95% your daily thoughts and actions are unconscious, your subconscious mind controls your life and your success. And therefore you have to have a methodology that impacts the subconscious mind. Which is what the think it be it 12 minute a day methodology actually does.

About the Hosts:

John Mitchell

John’s story is pretty amazing. After spending 20 years as an entrepreneur, John was 50 years old but wasn’t as successful as he thought he should be. To rectify that, he decided to find the “top book in the world” on SUCCESS and apply that book literally Word for Word to his life. That Book is Think & Grow Rich. The book says there’s a SECRET for success, but the author only gives you half the secret. John figured out the full secret and a 12 minute a day technique to apply it.

When John applied his 12 minute a day technique to his life, he saw his yearly income go to over $5 million a year, after 20 years of $200k - 300k per year. The 25 times increase happened because John LEVERAGED himself by applying science to his life.

His daily technique works because it focuses you ONLY on what moves the needle, triples your discipline, and consistently generates new business ideas every week. This happens because of 3 key aspects of the leveraging process.

John’s technique was profiled on the cover of Time Magazine. He teaches it at the University of Texas’ McCombs School of Business, which is one the TOP 5 business schools in the country. He is also the “mental coach” for the head athletic coaches at the University of Texas as well.
