Andrew's Journey with the Law of Attraction
00:00:03
Speaker
I realized that the law of attraction stuff was sort of working for me when I stuck with it. And it would only fail me when I would stop doing it. I don't care what happens, I don't care when it happens, how it happens, why it happens, I don't care about any of that. I am gonna go all in with this thing that i have I've had evidence of working for me. the The mere fact that other people have experienced quantum leaps means it is a viable option for you.

00:01:04
Speaker
Andrew, why don't you start by telling us your story, how you got to use the law of attraction, what kind of results you generated for yourself. I think that's what you would like to hear first. Yeah, absolutely. And it's interesting because anyone It's actually very interesting that you asked that question because of all the, like, I think when people write books, um I would think as an author, an intelligent thing to do to kind of hammer home a point is to tell stories. And I had this very weird goal when I wrote this book of can I deliver these points without stories? So I realized that, you know, my origin story, if you want to call it that, or or my most significant story around this content was not in the book.
The Inconsistency Challenge
00:01:46
Speaker
um to To hopefully put it as succinctly and usefully as I can, you know, I first learned about the love attraction over 20 years ago at this point. And, you know, I don't know how old I look. I i wear a hat to look a little bit younger here, but, i you know, i back then I was already, you know, an adult. I was already a young struggling entrepreneur.
00:02:07
Speaker
And I was looking for, you know, the secret to success and happiness. I was looking for the hidden formula, the blueprint, the map, whatever you might call it. And I was such a searcher that, you know, a law of attraction was really just one modality of many that I was kind of pursuing in and looking into. And it was very interesting because when I first learned about it, it was very hit and miss for me.
00:02:33
Speaker
It was very inconsistent. I had some wins, I had some losses, and I didn't really get a feel like I could have any real consistency with it. And I would learn a couple years later, I was the one, I was the part of the equation that was inconsistent.
Self-reflection and Commitment
00:02:48
Speaker
And I kind of hit a wall, um you know, four years or so after learning about it, where to be dramatic,
00:02:55
Speaker
I lost what fuel or felt like about 90% of my life. um i I was in a relationship that was in turmoil. And in order to try to fix the relationship, I kind of gave up slash lost my business that I'd been working on for a few years. so And within three or four days of that, um my girlfriend of three years broke up with me over text. So it was like too little too late, which by the way, I don't blame her. It was it was on me. I was not doing my part. In fact,
00:03:23
Speaker
you losing my relationship and my business and these two core parts of my life in less than a week, it really forced me to look in the mirror and say, OK, what am I doing? Andrew, what are you doing here? ah You've wasted your 20s. You've gotten no there's no ground that you've picked up here. Like what what's going on? What has to change? What has to be done? And I had this very weird simultaneous epiphany slash moment of indignation.
00:03:50
Speaker
where as I took an audit of my life and I reviewed the past couple of years leading up to that, I realized that the law of attraction stuff was sort of working for me when I stuck with it. And it would only fail me when I would stop doing it.
00:04:07
Speaker
And I was like, OK, well, that's interesting. You know what? I don't care what happens. I don't care when it happens, how it happens, why it happens. I don't care about any of that. I am going to go all in with this thing that I have. I've had evidence of working for me. And when I say all in, I don't mean all day, every day, because for everything that I've been through in my life.
00:04:28
Speaker
And just being a study of human nature and, of course, myself and how I got in my own way, I realized that it was not sustainable to kind of put a smile on your face and be joyful and cheerful all day, every day, because life is life, things are going to happen. And if you judge yourself by bad moods or or swings a fortune or whatever else, you're you're kind of falling into traps there and it's going to hold you back.
Daily Practices for Success
00:04:51
Speaker
But what I could do, what I could commit to, what I had 1000% certainty of, was that I could spend 5 or 10 minutes a day engaging in the methods that I had been using successfully. In fact, I was going to up the odds. Not only was it was I going to engage in those methods,
00:05:07
Speaker
I was going to tweak the methods to make them better for me personally, make them more enjoyable, make them something I even looked forward to. Because if I could swing things, if I could work things to make it even more enjoyable and something I looked forward to, it was more of a guarantee in my favor that I could actually stick with it.
00:05:25
Speaker
So there was a lot of self-reflection and a lot of strategy behind this. And the really cool thing, I tell people it's kind of like a movie because the moment I made that decision and the moment I went in that direction, things shifted at such a pace and and such a ah speed and impact that it it boggles the mind. I mean, two weeks, I tell people two weeks later, I felt way better than anybody with a broken heart had any business feeling.
00:05:52
Speaker
Three months later, I was in a ah way new, way healthier, way more aligned relationship. Four months later, I was making more money than at any point in my life up to that point. And six months later, everything was different. I was waking up happy and fulfilled. I was grateful. I was in the best shape of my life.
00:06:09
Speaker
I'd actually, I lost 25 pounds over a seven or eight week ah period without trying. And I say not trying, like I was working out, but I wasn't working out to lose weight. I wasn't dieting to lose weight. I was just doing things to feel better in my body and the weight naturally came off. That's the kind of cool thing about this. When I went in a positive direction about something, other things auto corrected for me.
Writing a Book on Attraction
00:06:31
Speaker
And I basically learned the hard way that whatever this thing is, and we'll call it the law of attraction because it's so easy to identify in that way, but but whatever it is, apparently it works when you work it. And ever since that moment, through all, you know, life's unpredictabilities and, you know, wins, losses, whatever it might be, I never kind of lost sight of that. And I never felt off track in that way ever again.
00:06:55
Speaker
And it was 11 years later that I just said, you know what, I'm finally going to give myself permission to write a book about this. And it's like, you know, there's like a thousand love attraction books out there. You can't like, what is the point of writing another? the Like, is it about making money or is it about making an impact?
00:07:10
Speaker
I'm like, Andrew, if you can't say something new or bring something new to the table, what is the point? And you know as you can see by the title, I basically challenged myself because you know you write a title like this, you make a bold promise like this, and you don't live up to it. We're in a day and age where reviews will keep people from buying another book of yours ever
Universal Challenges and Solutions
00:07:29
Speaker
again. So it had to be something where people are going to be like, yeah, Andrew lived up to his word. It was five stars. And by challenging myself,
00:07:36
Speaker
to articulate the issues in front of me and how I solve them, the rationale was that the more personal a problem is, the more universal it is. So if I can get out of my way and and go through my own nonsense and work this out in a way that all my own self-imposed blocks, and I can articulate that in a way that other people can follow that roadmap,
00:07:56
Speaker
it was hopefully a very sure or strong bet that I was addressing their self-imposed blocks, their limiting beliefs, all the things that they were using to get in their own way as well. And you know so far so good. it's I think it's a 4.6, so we're not perfect. But i take I gratefully receive every single five-star review, every single bit of feedback, every single success story. And it's it's really cool because, and I don't say this to brag, I say this hopefully with with enough humility,
00:08:24
Speaker
Even like within the last hour of hopping on this Zoom call, I got another email from someone, you know, articulating a win in their life and expressing a significant change. And it's it's a really cool life to be leading that way. and And I'm just very grateful in that regard. So Andrew, how many copies have been sold? North of one hundred and fifty thousand. And that's across all four of that. So it's not like just of one format, but thousand.
00:08:55
Speaker
Yes, audiobook, print, you know, ah hardcover, softcover, Kindle and audiobook. One hundred and fifty thousand. Guys, yeah wow guys, Jack Canfield sells like that, right? Like world famous people. Andrew used the law of attraction to sell one hundred and fifty thousand books. Now,
00:09:19
Speaker
You guys gotta get, I had him on my show in late October, but after the immersion. As soon as I started using what he taught me, immediately I signed six clients within like four weeks, right? And right after that I got this opportunity to speak at WealthGenius. Shortly after that I got the opportunity with Raymond to speak at the Transformational Leadership Council.
00:09:47
Speaker
And I've been doing his processes that he outlines in the book every single day. And I've got some specific big goals I want to attract to myself. Now, if you could sell 150,000 copies of your book, or you could have a $600,000 a year, or $500,000 a year, or $5 million a year, or whatever your big goal is today,
00:10:14
Speaker
Would you want to learn what this man has to say about how to do this using the law of attraction? Yes or yes? Yes. Okay. So, Andrew, will you walk folks through the specifics? because Folks here have just got your book. They've been hearing from me what I've been doing, but they don't really have the full picture. So would you walk people through kind of what you did and what you recommend they do? I think that's a good so a good start with maybe some of the daily processes and ideas that you have around how to do that, et cetera.
00:10:45
Speaker
Yeah, and and Nikki, after i I kind of spit out this word salad, please feel free to let me know if I missed anything because it's as good as I hope and think I am in articulating things. Sometimes I want to make sure that I i tied up in ah in a nice, neat bow here. um I'll start with this. The the book.
00:11:04
Speaker
in my opinion, hopefully, and people validate it, it does a really good job of of adding clarity and certainty to what should be done. But for all, you know, there's always going to be questions still. And I'll get emails from people, they're worried that they're not doing it the right way. And when you read about the ego, you'll understand why they're worried about that stuff.
The Power of Positivity and Gratitude
00:11:25
Speaker
They're worried that they're not doing it perfectly. They're missing a step. They're screwing something up. And I always tell them and in my reply, it's very easy for me to like almost copy and paste the reply because I answer all my emails personally. I'm like, listen, this whole thing, this whole process, the whole point of it is to feel good, to feel emotionally positive, even in a small way while thinking about what you have or thinking about what you want or both.
00:11:53
Speaker
And the way the book, that like basically the way I lay the book out is I try to articulate the challenges we have in engaging in this process, providing insight for human psychology and human nature. I mean, it's a law of attraction book, but I don't view it as like an airy fairy, just do a type of thing. I try to kind of break down why people have difficulties and and hopefully with the right kind of metaphors and right kind of explanations. But once that's out of the way, I just provide a variety of methods for people to try because you know I'll give you a couple of examples of the methods but the really cool thing is you could do a completely different method every single day or you could do the very same method the very same way every single day. As long as you're feeling good while thinking about what you have or what you want or both, you are accomplishing what I believe is necessary in order to engage in the process.
00:12:41
Speaker
and The whole reason that I offer the variety that I do in the book and the whole reason that I also, you know, I did a YouTube channel, I haven't uploaded in a while, but I had a lot of methods there also is because I just want people to have the level of variety so that they can go down the road that works for them. Because some people like vanilla ice cream, some people like chocolate, some people like strawberry. It doesn't matter. It's all ice cream. If you enjoy the flavor, if you enjoy the taste and you could have it every single day, that's all that really matters to me. So the whole point of this is engaging in a process that
00:13:12
Speaker
rather than you have to do it, you get to do it. And, you know, I'm not sure how many, you know, American football fans are out there, but like I kind of like explain, like imagine telling a football fan that they want a trip to the Super Bowl. They're not going to be upset about the long plane ride. They're not going to be upset about baking baking in the hot sun in the stadium all day, waiting for the game to begin or any like hotel inconveniences. Like they're excited. They get to go. They don't have to go to the Super Bowl. They get to go to the Super Bowl.
00:13:41
Speaker
It's a privilege for them. It's something that they look forward to. It's not an obligation. It's not a chore. It's not a hindrance, which is why. While you're welcome to do this for 20 minutes a day or an hour a day if you want to drive yourself crazy, five minutes a day really is enough. And I did not articulate it in this book. I'm kind of working on something now. I don't know if or when I'll ever publish it, but I actually broke down the seconds of the day and and i I, through math, I demonstrated based on studies why five minutes a day is more than enough to overcome 23 hours plus of thinking negatively. Which we don't do, like, even if we spend our day in negative thoughts and and we're in a bad mood, we don't spend all 23 hours. Eight of those hours we're sleeping, seven of those hours we're distracted by something by a work or TV or internet or scrolling or whatever. Like, it doesn't happen. So, five or ten minutes a day, I mean, really, just five minutes a day, it's really enough.
00:14:33
Speaker
If you don't like five minutes, three minutes is enough. If you don't like three minutes, one minute is enough. Like it's just about giving yourself the permission and space to do this for however long you want to do it and see what happens. And I'm really big on that because You know, if it's five minutes and all you're doing is gritting your teeth and clenching your fists and trying to like force it, trying to force yourself to feel better, trying to force the universe to do what you want to do, you're defeating the entire purpose. The whole purpose is that you feel good. That's the actual thing. you're the The heavy lifting gets done for you after that. Now, you're going to do work, but you're it's going to be work that you're inspired to do. You're going to have an idea for a new book or a new business. <unk>re If you're looking to meet the love of your life, you're going to have an and inspired idea the way you're going to write out your profile. like You're going to take action, but it's going to be an action out of a sense of abundance and a sense of certainty and confidence and ease versus a sense of lack and frustration and fear or uncertainty or doubt.
00:15:31
Speaker
So this is all about, and and I say five minutes because like we're all busy people. like For me, when I do this stuff, it's never like, oh my god, I gotta get it done because I gotta get another Zoom call with Nikki and Teresa. I'm like in a rush. I'm not in a rush. It only takes me a few minutes. And that's the really cool thing. Convenience is built into the process.
00:15:49
Speaker
Ease is built into the process and ideally enjoyment and fun is built into the process. That's the magic of this. Unlike working out, which Nikki will tell you and ill I'll agree with him, is a very healthy thing and a wonderful thing to do. But unlike working out, there's no pain involved here. There's nothing that there's no emotional pain or physical pain. There should be no built in deterrence. It's all awesomeness. That's the cool thing about it.
00:16:17
Speaker
Now with that said, cause Nikki kind of like asked like, you know, what are some good methods? So a couple of methods to go in. I'll actually, I'll tell you the one it's a little bonus time. It's actually not even in the last love attraction book you'll ever need to read. It's in my latest one, just feel good. And it's the one where I articulate my method that I do for myself every single day, because I take
Daily Gratitude Routine
00:16:41
Speaker
my own medicine. I do all these methods. I still do because they're fun. Otherwise I would not have published them.
00:16:46
Speaker
But the one method I reliably do, because again, it works in with my personality, it works in with my schedule, it works in with just what I want to do, is I have a friend um across the country here in the States. I'm in New York, he's in California, and I pull on my phone and I basically send him a recorded message of all the things that I'm grateful for.
00:17:07
Speaker
Some of those things that I'll articulate are things that are like in like everything stated in the present tense. um Some of the things are that are actually here in my life already. Sometimes I'll talk about future items, but I'll still say it in the present tense. Because again, as long as I feel good while thinking about what I have or what I want or both, I'm golden.
00:17:23
Speaker
and um This is actually an example of scripting. Scripting, which you'll learn in the book, is basically journaling about your life in the present tense as if you're already living your dream life. um But there's different versions of scripting because some people that want to handwrite it, and I'm sure you know you've looked into all the the studies that say like when you handwrite something, it makes a deeper connection with your brain.
00:17:44
Speaker
And I'm like, you know what? That's awesome. However, if my hand cramps up while I'm doing it, it doesn't matter what connection I'm making with my brain. I'm actually going, I'm working against myself. So if the handwriting doesn't work for me and maybe the typing doesn't work for me because there's typos and I don't like it, I'll do what I call spoken scripting. That's why I'll pull up my phone and I'll just like, I'll record the message. What will I speak about? Well, I, every day I'm, I'm grateful for my body. I'm grateful for my health.
00:18:12
Speaker
I'm grateful for my resilience, my tenacity, my intelligence, my state of mind. I'm grateful for every single reader, every single customer, every single listener, every single subscriber, um all my products, all my books, all my sales, my my business. I'm grateful for all the ways the universe continues to conspire in my favor and on my behalf. I'm grateful, and I say this every single day, I'm grateful for the good news today.
00:18:38
Speaker
Now, what's the good news going to be? I don't know. That's the really cool part. I don't have to assign any kind of expectation or meaning to it. It doesn't have to be significantly good news. It could be kind of good news. And on those days where like I don't see what the good news is, I'll actually find out like a week later that something could happen, and there was good news that day. like I've never really seen it miss, big or small. I'm grateful for the good news every single day. I'm grateful for the huge wins in my favor. i'm i'm grateful for the continuing inflow of abundance ah in terms of financially, in terms of health, in terms of relationships, in terms of everything. I say all these things to my friend and sometimes I get there first and I send him the message first. Sometimes he sends his message to me first. And the really cool thing is the person sending it first kind of, you know, sets the space and sets the tone and and has a bit of an influence for the person to reply to. Because now not only are they grateful for it for their stuff, but they're grateful for the good news they just got from their friend.
00:19:35
Speaker
So there's a really cool symmetry or or synergy in that. And obviously, you know, that's an example, like when you have an accountability partner, but you don't need an accountability partner. Another one of my favorite methods that you learn from the book is what I call a gratitude blitz, which, by the way, was a version of what I just gave you. That's where you set a timer for however long, one minute, three minutes, five minutes, and you just like recount all the things that you're grateful for in your life. And Listen, I don't know and anyone's personal story right now. I don't know what you're going through. I'm sure life is not perfect. I'm sure there are certain days where it's hard to be grateful because there's this huge thing weighing on you. But I want to remind you that even in the face of of negative stuff, which by the way, I'm not perfect, this Mr. Law of Attraction here, I have that stuff too. But even in the face of that, I can still be grateful for my heart that's been beating every single second of every minute.
00:20:27
Speaker
of every hour, of every day, of every week, of every month, of every year, of every decade that I've been alive, tirelessly pumping blood and oxygen and nutrients to my other organs, which have served me for that long. My hands, my fingers, my arms, my feet, my toes, my legs, every single organ, every single cell in my body. You know, my my skin for touch, my eyes to see, my ears to hear, my tongue to taste, my mouth to speak.
00:20:56
Speaker
This device that I'm on right now, oh my God, I run my business on this device. I reach people and connect with people on this device. If I so choose to engage in ah online dating, oh my God, this device handles me. Online banking, this device handles me. Online shopping. The convenience of Amazon, which not only gives me stuff in like that day, but is the huge, like a wonderful worldwide global facilitator in getting my book and my message, my books and my message to people. Like this is all the gratitude blitz. And a really cool thing about a gratitude blitz is like the first 20 seconds, it's like whatever. The first 30 seconds is like, oh, that's cool. Like 90 seconds, 100 seconds, 120 seconds in. You're like, whoa.
00:21:38
Speaker
Like life is pretty cool. Like I have genuine, like just the air in my lungs, you know, I think anyone who's stubbed their toe and or or broken a bone, they understand inconvenience and they could be really grateful for the convenience of their healthy body right now. There's there's just so much there. It's it's it really is never ending.
00:21:59
Speaker
And it's like a muscle, like the more you do it, the more you kind of work out with the blitz, the better and easier it gets. And you start thinking of like cool things you'd never considered. Oh my God, not only do I remember my best friend from like eighth grade, but I remember the huge favor they did for me like two years later that that worked things out for me. I remember my first crush. I remember the first person who had a crush on me and how validating how wonderful that felt. I remember my first kiss. I'm grateful for my next kiss.
00:22:25
Speaker
I'm grateful for toys at the bottom of cereal boxes, even though I'd have no interest in them anymore. But I'm grateful for the joy they gave me when I was a kid. I'm grateful for the happy meals you know that I had. as like all this Again, it's never ending. Never ending. There's so much cool stuff. um One more method, which you'll learn about in the book, is my call to time lapse method. And what i I love about this method in particular,
00:22:48
Speaker
not to put the weight of pressure on it or anything, but it was one of the primary methods I was using in that period of life that I described a couple of minutes ago where I had like such a significant turnaround. And the reason I think part of what made it work so well is it was a tweaked method. I had changed it to work for me personally and make it more dynamic than the version I learned about in the past. um Because the old version didn't kind of go as as deep or or profound as mine in my opinion. But basically what the time lapse method is, is you're going to list out 15 things that you're grateful for.
00:23:22
Speaker
five of them are going to be from your past, five from your present and five from your future. And they're all listed out in the present tense. And what you're going to do is shoot once this list is goingnna complete, you're going to jumble it up. So maybe like the first thing is from the present, the second is from the past, another present, another future. And you're going to basically read off that list one thing at a time. And after you read each one, either out loud or in your head,
00:23:46
Speaker
you're just going to take a few seconds, 20 seconds, 60 seconds, whatever to just breathe and bask in the gratitude of that thing. And the really cool thing about this process specifically is that two thirds of that list is quote unquote real, meaning it either has happened or is happening, which is really cool because since we psychologically don't downshift very easily, that means that the gratitude that you will feel for the future stuff but it Basically, the certainty and the confidence and the enthusiasm for the past and present stuff will carry over, thereby affecting yourself on ah on a psychological level and the cellular level, and in my opinion, harmonic frequency level, of putting you in a much better place to invite and think of what you need in order to reach those future goals as well. So for me, it's again, it's one of my favorite. I viewed it as very dynamic and very useful. Nicky, how did I do to answering that one?
00:24:42
Speaker
Like, you know, it's interesting that you mentioned both the gratitude blitz and the time lapse method. We started each day by doing a law of attraction process. Yesterday we did the time lapse method and today we did the gratitude blitz. So that was cool. That was super, super cool. I'm considering doing another one. I'm not going to mention which one because I want to keep these guys in suspense for tomorrow morning on day three of the program. Nice. um Andrew.
00:25:12
Speaker
I want you to talk to these guys about not censoring the size of their dream and their goal using the law of attraction methods. Because a lot of people are, I can hear it. and some people's In some people's heads, I can see the puffs of smoke coming out of their ears going, well, you know,
00:25:43
Speaker
This would be great, but man, what I really want is this, but I don't believe it could happen. You know what I'm saying? And I want you to talk about that because selling 150,000 books as a non-celebrity is a fucking huge deal. That is a huge deal. That's like making $10 million dollars a year.
Dreams and Expansive Goals
00:26:02
Speaker
Okay, yeah, it's beyond the best seller. It is a number one global best seller at that point. Yeah, it's actually, if I go on the, I'm not sure Canadian, but if I go on the US site right now, it's actually the number one best seller right now on Amazon. And how long has this book been out, Andrew? Over five years. Over five years and it is still a number one. Yeah, you can clap for that.
00:26:27
Speaker
I know everyone sitting in this room has censored the size of your dream. And I want Andrew to talk about why that's a terrible idea. And I want him to encourage you to do it properly. So take it away for a few minutes. So I'll start with with asking a rhetorical question.
00:26:45
Speaker
Does anyone here really think that my goal was to sell 150,000 books? Because it was not and it is not. My goal, well, I i had kind of two simultaneous goals. One was just overall significant impact. Notice that that is a general goal. I've given myself the gift of a general goal. But another one is a million copies, which by the way, when I hit, I'll just make a new goal on top of that. But understand this. If my goal has not been a million copies, if I only wanted 150,000, I would not be talking to you with 150,000 in sales. I'd be talking probably 25 or 30,000 in sales. Why would I restrict myself? Why would I restrict the universe? If you don't believe in the universe, why would I restrict God? If you don't believe God in God, why would you restrict the power, the immense power, the calculative power of your subconscious mind to work things out for you and give you inspired ideas? Sensoring and filtering yourself on this level
00:27:42
Speaker
is a huge disservice to yourself. For me, the but the whole point of um enormous goal isn't just for the sake of the enormous goal. It's for a faster, more efficient, more enjoyable path on the way to that for smaller goals, but it's also to leave room and space for something even better adjacent to it. Because what if, rather than selling a million copies of my book,
00:28:10
Speaker
I end up selling 900,000 copies of the book, but it then it gets optioned for a movie. not I mean, honestly, I'll be i'll be i'll be honest. like I don't care about that, but I'm using it as an example. Well, that would be cool because then the impact of the movie financially for me, but like really just impact-wise of getting the message out there, how cool would that be? So if I get 900,000 copies sold and then it's option as a movie am I gonna be mad like oh my god I didn't get the million this this sucks like no but the whole point is I want these large goals that are gonna pull me along through through inspiration through um through instinct through whatever it might be it's again like
00:28:50
Speaker
For me, it's it's just it's the worst thing in the world. and And I know why people do it. The reason people censor themselves or limit themselves is because here's where it comes down to. And this, by the way, is one of the reasons why a lot of people don't stick with the law of attraction.
00:29:06
Speaker
Because, God forbid, you go down this process, you go down this road, and it doesn't work. Now you've lost all hope. If you could start the law of attraction and get some results, and then quit before it something really happens, you, for the rest of your life, at least have the hope, like, I have this thing in my back pocket that'll probably work. I don't have to risk giving up or losing hope.
00:29:30
Speaker
But there's a fear there of like trying to do something and it not working. And then you're out of hope. Then you're out of steam. Then you're out of energy. Then you're out of what you need to move forward. It is a scary proposition, which again is why I like to I like to kind of like cushion and and and hedge my bets by I have a general goal and I have a specific goal and I make sure they're both worthy of my time and energy. And here's another piece, by the way, and I mean this.
00:29:59
Speaker
If I can make this not only about me, if I can make this about service to other people, then my inherent sense of community as a human being is going to drive me forward and in better ways, and in more in more dynamic ways. That's why my general my general goal is about making impact for other people and serving other people, because I know when I do that, it genuinely feels good. Like, we as a species want to help each other. We as a species, we love... I mean, look at this. you're at You're not at a table alone right now. You're at a table with other like-minded people. There's a reason that birds of a feather flop together. we We like this about, and I can pretty much guarantee that everyone in that room, if you had the opportunity to do something for someone else in the room without any concern for getting paid back, if you could just do something for them and know that you helped them, you would do it.
00:30:51
Speaker
So when you have like um a book or a business or something and there's a true level in there simultaneously to serving yourself because you are valuable enough to serve and you are worthy enough to serve yourself, but you can bolster it by having an intention that your work, that your your output, your product, your service genuinely helps other people and serves them in their lives. But also by that same token, do not be shy about making sure that you are served by this.
00:31:20
Speaker
Like you as the facilitator of this business, of this book, of this project, of this service, or whatever it might be, you deserve to be compensated. You deserve to enjoy life. And by the way, you deserve to enjoy life if you don't do anything, if you don't follow through on these plans, just by being you, just by being born, you deserve to enjoy your life.
Deserving Happiness and Enjoyment
00:31:40
Speaker
And it's really important that you keep these things in mind. And when you have that kind of thing in mind,
00:31:45
Speaker
that you're worth it and all the people that you might serve are gonna be worth it, it just feels like the dumbest thing in the world to limit your dreams. Just because in the back of your mind, there it might be this latent fear that if you fail, it says something about you on a survival level that you don't even realize it might say, which by the way is an illusion and not true anyway.
00:32:09
Speaker
Damn. That was like fire, bro. That was like fire. Yeah. All right. So, um Andrew. Yes, sir. That was for me. But maybe give these guys um give these guys a little bit of a structure of what they can do while they're here to up their law of attraction game and how they can keep it at a nice high level throughout the year. Because I'm gonna promise you, one of the things we're gonna do in our work this year is we're gonna have everybody make sure that they do this as part of their strategy to grow.
00:32:57
Speaker
So what can they do specifically? Let's give them a nice little structure to work with. And then I'm actually, i mean I'm going to give them two answers, Nikki. I'm sorry. Was there a question there? No. And then after that, I'm going to throw it open to questions from, from the folks. Okay, cool. I'm Nikki. I'm going to give two answers because one of them is like in recognition of, of your style and what you teach. And one of them is in recognition of of stuff that I go into and I want to make sure I cover on my basis because there's two ways of doing this. Yeah.
00:33:25
Speaker
Anyone that kind of listens to the podcast episode that I did with Nicky, it was kind of funny because like, you know, and I love that he did this. He put me on the spot. It's like, Andrew, make a plan for me right now. It's like on the spot in the podcast. I made a plan for him. But I started kind of leaning in a direction of of giving him a certain freedom of flexibility to try what he wants. He's like, no, no Andrew, I want structure. I want structure. Give to me structure. I'm like, all right, that's cool. Nicky is a personality type that wants that structure. That's him.
00:33:51
Speaker
Me, I'm a little bit different in that I enjoy flexibility. It just, it works for me. So different things work for different people. So let me give you the loose version first, and then I'll give you the more structured version.
00:34:03
Speaker
The Luke's version is literally like reading the book, going through the book, even just thinking about the methods I just articulated to you and choosing what you want to do each day. Almost also giving yourself permission to experiment with the methods and see which ones that you like and making your own plan. Because really, Andrew's structure is carve out five minutes a day, either in the morning or the middle of the day or evening, whatever is most convenient for you to do whatever you want to do, as long as you feel good while thinking about what you have or what you want or both.
00:34:31
Speaker
But to service kind of like what I feel like Nikki is teaching here to give structure There's also two versions of that well one you could listen to his podcast and say okay what exactly what Andrew just said to Nikki I'm gonna use those I'm gonna say do the exact methods I'm gonna do Nikki's Monday Nikki's Tuesday Nikki's Wednesday, etc But to give you an off-the-cuff one right now, which you could also follow as a third option um I would make your your Mondays um the spoken scripting that I articulated um for at the beginning of this. I would make um your Tuesdays the time lapse. I would make your Wednesdays a blitz. I would make your Thursdays a different kind of scripting, either written or um or typed, depending on which one works for you.
00:35:25
Speaker
I would make your Fridays, um I'd go back to a blitz for your Fridays. I would make your Saturdays, I would kind of, um actually, we're gonna return to Saturday, I'm gonna give you one for Saturday, but but for Sunday, I want you to do whatever your favorite one is. For Saturday, I'm teaching you a new method here, I call this the 10 minutes ago method.
00:35:49
Speaker
The interesting thing about that, some people they struggle in terms of like visualizing what they want, is they have trouble creeping into that emotion of like what it actually feels like when the thing actually happens and they put this unnecessary pressure on themselves. um Their ego that you'll read about in the book gets in the web a and it's just, it's it's not fun. The 10 minutes ago method, actually the whole point of that is it bypasses this issue by having them focus on themselves 10 minutes after the good thing happened.
00:36:17
Speaker
Like you want to win the lottery. All right. You're visualizing yourself 10 minutes later. um Your book's a number one best seller. You're visualizing yourself 10 minutes later. ah You met the love of your life or um you both said that you love each other for the first time or whatever. 10 minutes later. What's going to happen 10 minutes later? How are you feeling? Are you um posting on social media about it? Are you texting someone about it? Are you having a phone call about it? Is somebody congratulating you? Like in your life, based on your personality, based on who you actually are,
00:36:46
Speaker
What is that moment actually like 10 minutes into the future? With no expectation that you have to be ecstatic anymore because it's 10 minutes later. Like you basically, your're maybe you're still excited, maybe you're not, but there's been an evening out, so there's a much less pressure of that moment, but it's also future pacing yourself in a great non-pressure way that you can kind of crawl into that. Nicky, I hope I've articulated that one well, and I hope I've given the structure you were looking for. No, that was awesome, man.
00:37:14
Speaker
That was awesome. What was the Thursday one? Thursday. Written scripting. Written or typed scripting, yeah. so Yeah, because like you'd spoken scripting is is one version of the dynamic, but then another one is to actually either write it or type it and engage your mind and engage your energy in that way as well. Again, this is just me looking to give you variety. For all I know, again, I don't want to Lean too far from from Nikki's perspective here, but for all I know you're gonna dive into that book and you're gonna learn a different method That's just gonna speak to you and you're like, okay That's gonna be my Thursday from now on in fact That's gonna be my Thursday and my Friday and my Saturday because I love it Until you don't love it anymore. And then you put something else in its place So Rod, he's also gonna be speaking at the next sovereign man meeting. So you're gonna get to see him again
00:38:00
Speaker
How cool is that, right? Nice. So, do you have a question or a comment? you hu Mathieu? Mathieu, do you want to come around? Yes. Yeah, come so we can see you, right? All right. Yalla, yalla, yalla. Yalla, grab it and see what?
00:38:32
Speaker
theology have like ni brother This works for me, man. I get a drink of water. I can rest my voice for a second.
00:38:48
Speaker
written a whole up down All right, come on forward, introduce yourself, tell them who you are and what you do. your So you can see, okay? You can see you now. Hey Andrew, nice to meet you. You know, I'm Matthew from Belgium. Hi Matthew. I'm an architect and I want to regenerate our planet so we can live here for many generations to come.
00:39:10
Speaker
And my question is, so walk me through the exact way you made that key decision in your life. Like you said, you're not feeling good and then you just decided it. But how does it how did it really happen to make that big decision? So I hope I can articulate this the right way.
00:39:32
Speaker
um We should not and we do not have to hit rock bottom in order to make this kind of a significant um change, right? but But for me, it's, ah and this isn't really gonna answer your question well, and it doesn't have to be this way for you, but it just happened. like I just decided. like I was so angry at myself, and so I was angry for for the way I had screwed up,
00:39:58
Speaker
I was tired and impatient for all the the failure that I had dealt with beforehand. And i just it was like this perfect storm of of being that frustrated but also having enough insight that I've worked on myself that I'm like, I could do this. And and part of the thing that kind of helped it along, for me, and not to give anybody an out,
00:40:19
Speaker
But I made it very easy. This was not a difficult, like, to spend five minutes a day doing stuff that I already knew, just feeling good. It was not a difficult thing. And the real the real key was just based on the four years of failure before that, not only to not be deterred by failure,
00:40:36
Speaker
but to not be deterred by success. Because when you when you're on a roll and things are working, again, you'll you'll learn about this more in in the book, but the ego is going to kind of like, so you know, kind of whisper in your ear and be like, hey, you're doing great. You know, you can you can stop the diet for a day or you can you can take a day off from working out or whatever it might be. And and no before you know it, you've gone a week without doing whatever you're doing. So again, I know I'm probably not answering the question the best way here, but really it just it came to me. I'm like,
00:41:05
Speaker
This makes sense. I'm in enough, I'm in enough pain. I'm feeling enough impatience and I have enough insight and understanding that I'm ready to pull the trigger on this and just do this. And I just did. And again, it doesn't have to be this way, but oftentimes, like, you know, in moments of extreme stress or distress, think I was, I'm dealing with a broken heart at that point. My heart was broken. Again, I didn't blame her. I mean, she could have done it better. She didn't have to break up over text. You know what I mean? Like,
00:41:32
Speaker
And by the way, i and I never broke up with anyone that overtaxed because I knew how painful it was. But but like again, it was my fault that it got to that point to begin with because I was so focused on trying to make my business work, I didn't give the relationship the air that it needed.
00:41:47
Speaker
um But but i but like sometimes when you're you're motivated through either pain or pleasure to a point, it just making the decision just makes sense. It feels like the most natural thing in the world to do. It's kind of like if a tiger has got out of the cage and it's running at you, it's the most natural thing to run and hop over the fence and put some distance between you and that tiger. It's the same thing. it's just it The decision feels like Contrary to doing anything other than the decision is contrary to your human nature and your identity at that point. I hope I articulated that it answer well for you.
00:42:26
Speaker
Yeah, totally. It all makes sense. Like it's kind of like radical responsibility of your own life and and keep doing it. And I feel like it's it's most difficult when your life is going really well. I feel like then it's difficult to keep doing the exercise because you're like... But it's working, I don't need to keep doing it. That's tricky. When you're in a good place, you put your foot off the gas. And I'm telling you, this year I'm going to kick your ass to make sure that never happens. As soon as you're in a good place, I'm going to make you work harder. Mathieu, what's going on? Let's go, let's go.
00:43:00
Speaker
So i've I've got a bit of a morbid technique for you guys, actually, that this conversation is bringing us to. And um I've never articulated this before. So this is a first time deal here.
The Deathbed Technique
00:43:09
Speaker
And it's going be like really morbid. i get By the way, I didn't make this up all alone. I'm naming it right now. I'm calling this the deathbed technique.
00:43:17
Speaker
tough but I love it. And you probably know where I'm going with this. I love it. when When you're having a day and and you're moving forward in a certain direction, like you know the food that you put in your mouth, the exercises, or do you do or don't do, the the the moves you make in your relationships, to your business, you know whether it's for your highest good or not. And and something to do is like imagine what you like the version of you who's lived their life and is about to go bye-bye,
00:43:43
Speaker
would they be happy with the course of action that that decision is going to make? You choosing to stop working already to give up on this grand vision that you have. Like, if you feel like you're falling off, think about that version of you. Like, what's he going to think of his life, of ah his how his life went if you would quit today?
00:44:00
Speaker
If you'd stopped doing the very simple basic things that you needed to do, let that person in that extreme scenario and situation be your guiding light of decision making of like, of course, the answer is so clear from that perspective.
00:44:16
Speaker
Yeah, that makes a lot of sense to be reminded when that happens. And it's it's the same when, and like because i've since I listened to the episode from Nicki, I've been doing the exercise pretty much daily, but then in the in the last three weeks or so, maybe I felt sick or it was like a client was really been giving me a hard time. And then it was easy not to do it as well. So when you're at at the lower or like in a difficult situation, it's easy to say or not to bother of doing it. Who's going to be my choose? Law of attraction, buddy. Well, yeah, Michael, this is Michael's going to be your law of attraction, buddy. Nikki, you just put you just took the words out of my mind there, man. I was about to say everyone in this room who who's worried about that, like you're all on the same team with this. Like you could really like have partners where you do this. Yeah, totally. We should.
00:45:07
Speaker
Totally we should. And then when you're actually doing the exercise, do you sometimes feel like a slight difference between, oh, I'm just doing it because I have to do it and I'm doing it from an and energy state or is it? Yeah. So, um so for me, yeah, for me, I'm not ecstatic every day and I'm okay with that. Like my rationalization is as long as I don't feel bad, even just feeling okay, I'm doing it. There are certain days where I'll catch myself like me, I'll catch myself phoning it in.
00:45:36
Speaker
and I'll like literally like stop recording. and I'll rerecord the message like no Andrew like don't like okay Andrew I know you're phoning in it right now But are you are you seriously not gonna have respect for for your body and your health that you can't have genuine gratitude for that? Like no Andrew you're rerecording this and you're expressing attitude for your body and your health Are you really Andrew gonna overlook all these readers that support you? No, you're not I am then and then I had reaffirmed like there are just like you're like right now You're standing up right like there are people that can't stand up Like, they literally can't stand up. So, like, it should be impossible. Like, if you actually consider that, it should be impossible to not have gratitude for your spine, your body, your health, and things of that nature. When you think of it from that perspective and you remind yourself in that way, it becomes very easy to just feel the slightest bit of gratitude or power and power and emotion behind this. And that's all you need, just a little bit. I don't put any pressure on myself
00:46:28
Speaker
i I hold myself to the highest standard of being genuinely grateful, but I put no expectation requirement that I have to reach like X number of of impact points or anything like that because I need to give myself grace and patience also so that I can engage in this process and I look forward to it every single day.
00:46:48
Speaker
So that means that when you're having a rather difficult day, it doesn't have to be a bad day, you'd focus more on simple things to be grateful and maybe on a day when you're like rocking and and everything's going great, you stack on that and you go to like, I'm grateful for my private jet that is going to bring me to the whole world. like no No, that's future language. I don't know that if it's it's part of... It has to always be present land, even if it's a future thing. Because you want your, this is what he taught me, that was very important. You want your subconscious mind to always think it's happening now, even if it's a future idea, because then it will start to attract it for you now. But the question was, is it on the on the days where you're like a little bit lower, you're generally just grateful for simple things, quote unquote. Yeah.
00:47:35
Speaker
and went on I'm grateful for whatever I need to be. Like something happens that that that bothers me. Like it still bothers me. It's fine. It is what it is. But it's it's not going to prevent me from being grateful for the things that are good in my life. It's not going to be it's not going to slow me down. like it's I've learned too much and I've been through too much to let it throw me off track. and um again i'm i'm patient like i'll so As an example, a family member recently got in a car accident. Fortunately, they're okay, health-wise.
00:48:11
Speaker
But like when I heard what happened, like the way they went about things to me was really stupid. like And i was I was mad. I was really frustrated. like I can be grateful that, OK, you're healthy. But there's certain things that they did. And and like I had to like like take the lead and handle like a lot of the paperwork. It was annoying. I heard, Nick, you cursed before. So profanity is fine here, right? Profanity is fine.
00:48:35
Speaker
It was fucking annoying. Like it was the worst. like I was just like, I don't need this. I don't need this nonsense. But in the middle of that really annoying paperwork and that annoying stuff, I could still be like, like I'm still going to take those few minutes out and send that message to my friend. Like, OK, the reason I can take the time, like what's cool for me is like this paperwork is really annoying.
00:48:56
Speaker
But I've built my business that I don't work for anyone so I could take half a day to do this and I don't have a boss breathing down my neck. That's awesome. I'm grateful for that. And I don't have to worry about doing any kind of like revenue creation today because the revenue is being created for me. Oh, my God, I'm grateful. That person was healthy. I'm grateful. I'm healthy. I'm grateful. So that even through this annoying thing that I'm telling you, it pissed me off.
00:49:21
Speaker
It didn't get in the way of of the stuff that was important, the stuff that I need to kind of keep my mind on, even though I wasn't a bad mood for what I had to go through, which is fine. I give myself permission to be in that bad mood because I know overall, I'm still always coming out ahead on feeling better than not feeling better. Nice. I appreciate it. Thank you very much. life thank Boom. Thank you for your questions, sir. I appreciate it. Great job. Thanks much here.
00:49:49
Speaker
introduce yeah phil Hey Andrew, Michael Ostromkier. I'm a marriage therapist and a resilience coach. And ah this question is probably counterintuitive to everything you teach, but I'm just kind of really curious. Would you ever consider it a viable option to take someone down the path of ah negative consequences to certain actions so they can think through think through the whole scenario? Or is that attracting what you don't want in your life?
Motivation through Negative Consequences
00:50:15
Speaker
So here's the thing. I'm not against that, per se. I'm not usually the person to do it. I guess I'd say this. If it's useful for them, if it's like if you based on their personality, like if it's going to trigger them to enough in action, I want to call I want to do that over a sustained period of time. I want to make that the norm. But but I think it will knock them out of their nonsense. But also, most importantly, if it's temporary, like for me.
00:50:39
Speaker
I'm not concerned about even a 20 minute or longer negative emotional experience. I mean, I don't want to give anyone trauma, but I'm not worried about someone going through like a negative emotional experience because on the overall, those five minutes of positivity will contribute to a momentum for that. Like every single day, it'll contribute, in my view, in my experience, to a momentum for them that'll kind of like take care of that.
00:51:03
Speaker
So I'm not personally against it. I would just I would kind of choose my battles, make it limited in in frequency and and just make sure that it's actually serving them and kind of getting them over the top. And I would also experiment like, is there a like, you know, we're we're motivated by pain and by pleasure. I would like, OK, if the pain is motivating them, is there a way to try to pleasure? Is that going to get them as well or more? Like, really ask yourself, like, what's going to be what's going to serve the most? Oh, thank you. Appreciate it. yeah but
00:51:34
Speaker
could jump up if Hello, hey Matthew from Toronto. I have a tax CPA practice. And my question is, when you're doing the time lapse, specifically the future part of it, and whatever you're using the present tense, but obviously it's the future, so it hasn't happened yet. What I struggle with is,
00:52:03
Speaker
Yeah, this is what I want to happen, but is it going to happen? And I'm sure that's not making it easier for it to happen if I sort of say it and also doubt it at the same time. Can you give me an example of one thing? I'm going to make a million dollars this year. OK, cool. All right. So I'm making I'm making a million dollars this year. Good, good catch. Good catch.
00:52:32
Speaker
So there's a couple of ways I'm going to um to try to answer this thoroughly and usefully. um First, I'll give you an easier one. Like me, I'm i'm grateful for my awesome apartment.
00:52:44
Speaker
And you'll notice um I didn't put the pressure that it's not a penthouse apartment, it's not a million dollar apartment, like my awesome apartment, which is really cool, because that could have been an apartment that I had lived in and living in or going to live in. So part of this is, you know, where you can, you want to use verbiage, it just makes it easier. But of course, you're using something like real specific here in terms of like million dollars. I'd ask you this, why do you want the million dollars?
00:53:12
Speaker
what for what it'll allow me to do. um So in other words, freedom and flexibility in your business, more ease in your life? Right, and to be able to help people, I want to help. Okay, cool. So, I don't want to keep you from a million dollars a year, but can these things happen before you're making a million dollars?
00:53:37
Speaker
Yes. Cool. So one trick I might use here until I'm comfortable, if if if the use of the word million dollars is bothering me, I'm not going to use it. But I'm going to say, why do I want it? And I'm going to use that. So for me, if I'm in your shoes, I'm going to be grateful for the continual expansion of my and my business's ability to serve others, the continuing influx of revenue, my ability to receive that revenue.
00:54:06
Speaker
my ability to leverage the revenue, my ability to grow, my my my my increased ability of getting more clients, better paying clients, higher paying clients, my ability to network. like i would do like Personally, again, if if the word million dollars is forcing you to do that, what kind of verbiage is really linked to this that you can get around? Like, okay. but Am I, do I really feel like I'm lying to myself when I'm talking about the the increasing capacity for my business to do more and more at exponential levels? Is it possible that you are more capable and more lined up for what you realize? like I mean, we could we can kind of admit that or accept that, right? We could accept that
00:54:47
Speaker
way more might be on the way than we could even realize, because people have gone through quantum leaps. and And the thing is, you are no different, no better or no worse than anyone else. When people go through these quantum leaps, they go through them in different ways at different frequencies, frequencies in different circumstances. Like the the mere fact that other people have experienced quantum leaps means it is a viable option for you. And the mere fact that people have gone through quantum leaps even doubting themselves or telling themselves that they are unsure of themselves means even that's possible for you. And I tell people the mere fact like for me when I have like the big goals, like I kind of know how I could sell a million books
00:55:31
Speaker
but I don't know specifically how it might happen. Like there's there's so many different ways it could happen. I like the fact that I don't know every single possibility because that leaves room for these possibilities to come into play without me realizing. And I know based on my own life experience that so many things have happened for me without me ever thinking about that specific thing. There's been certain things I've thought about and I'm like,
00:55:56
Speaker
All right, cool. I'm going to do that because that's an intelligent strategic way to go about it. But then there's been other things have been amazing for me. So for me, it's like, OK, why do I want the million dollars? OK, cool. Those things in what way can I be on that path already, even if it's not a million dollar level yet?
00:56:12
Speaker
and like you'll be surprised that you'll you'll be like sitting you'll be drinking your coffee one day and like an amazing idea is just gonna pop in your mind like oh I can do this one extra thing or make this one small change and it will it will move things in the right direction for me and you will and be faced with like, did this happen because it just happened? Or did it happen because I've kind of primed my mind and primed my frequency in order to invite this? And if you can embrace that possibility, you'll just keep pushing along in that way. I don't know how well I answered your question, but I hope I gave you something useful there. Like, ah bottom line, if something feels off, don't use that. Use something better adjacent to it. That's very helpful. Thank you. Yeah, that one's really good. I like that.
00:57:02
Speaker
We got time for one more question or comment. Anybody else want to ask or say anything to Andrew? All right. Just a comment. Go ahead, honey. Come on up. Hey, Andrew. Hey. One of the things that stood out that you said earlier was that censoring, the censoring of what is possible and not putting that limit on what we can achieve, but rather go beyond that. Like you said, about a million books versus the 150,000 books. And you didn't say 150,000 because then you would have probably only achieved 25,000 at this point, but making it bigger and who's to say you can't have that. And it just was just really the way you articulated that was powerful. Thank you. I'll put that limit there, but there is no limit. It's just what we set up.
00:57:57
Speaker
Yeah, and ah I want to piggyback on it. Thank you for that, Teresa. I want to remind people, and this is some people are religious, some people aren't, and I want to transcend that. Like, regardless of religion, I want people to acknowledge that you were surrounded by the miraculous.
Recognizing Everyday Miracles
00:58:17
Speaker
And if you're saying, well, Andrew, is that like legitimate? Ask yourselves right now, how are we having this conversation? Like, OK, even if you believe that there's a really long wire extending from my computer all the way to that one in that room, which is kind of ridiculous to think about, but it isn't, right? I can unplug everything right now, my computer, and we're still having this conversation.
00:58:41
Speaker
What does that mean? That means that there is stuff going on in the ether, in the invisible, that is facilitating this real-time connection and communication. Think about also every breath you've ever taken, unless someone scared you or or you were you were running or you're trying to calm yourself down.
00:59:00
Speaker
Most of the time, you're not consciously regulating your breathing. Your subconscious mind is doing that for you. Are you intentionally beating your own heart? Like, you were literally you're literally a walking miracle with within you. Like, right now, as we're speaking, your heart's been beating over and over and over again. Like, when you really stop and actually think about that,
00:59:26
Speaker
and you realize that you are a miracle, that you're surrounded by the miraculous, then you can open up your eyes to, okay, this goal, like, if my heart can beat as many times as it as its beat in the past four and a half decade decades, to even doubt being able to sell a million copies of my book is the most ridiculous bunch of bullshit I've ever fucking heard.
00:59:48
Speaker
what Like, think about it. For just your heart to say nothing of the rest of your body that served you. You're a parent or guardian who loved you and took care of you when you were a kid. Like, these these things that have happened for you, and what, your goal is suddenly big? It's not. The illusion is big.
01:00:11
Speaker
The illusion, the lie is big. The reality and the possibility of it is miniscule. It really is. And I say that as someone who has achieved many goals, and has yet to achieve many goals, I can recognize this.
01:00:27
Speaker
And I'm not making a single, Nikki already bought the books. Thank you very ne much, Nikki. like I'm not making a single sent off this message. Like this is a true, profile like this is genuine my message to you. I'm not gonna make a single sent over convincing you of this. I'm just telling you the way it is in hopes that it will genuinely serve you. Like you are surrounded by the miraculous. You are living and breathing in it.
01:00:52
Speaker
And if you don't believe me, have someone, I'm gonna be very crude here, okay? Have someone put a plastic bag over your head and and keep you from breathing for 20 seconds. They pull the bag off, you're suddenly gonna be very grateful for your breath and you're gonna realize how much of a miracle your lungs are.
01:01:07
Speaker
And how much of a miracle that convenience and freedom to just breathe is, it is really, really amazing. And i I hope that message is really connecting and landing with people because it's it's it's such a profound truth and it can take you so far in your enjoyment of life and your inability to serve yourself and others around you. There's a client I had that this brought this all back to me. I haven't thought of him in so long, but you actually reminded me of of This client I used to be so grateful for, I used to work Tony Robbins for many years and I used to hear all kinds of clients, different people, different types of people, but this one man showed up, we could only do on Zoom because he had lost his tongue. So I had a client that couldn't speak to me. He had no tongue, he lost the cancer and his wife was leaving him and there was this world he was in and I remember having to the learn to communicate with this man
01:02:07
Speaker
thea zone we had to create our own language and type back and forth to one another and support him. And you made me remind remind myself of, I remember those moments that he, oh my gosh, this man has shown up here. He signed up for coaching and he didn't let this limitation, which isn't a limitation actually, stop him from still trying to make his life better.
01:02:35
Speaker
So it was pretty bad. You just had me go back there and remember that man. Thank you. Thank you for sharing that. Wow. and You know, what ah wrote a profound thing to think about. he mean I mean, I've I could only imagine how amazing and resilient that person is. So, guys, was this awesome as advertised? Awesome. Let's go.
01:03:05
Speaker
Thank you very much, guys. Thank you, Teresa, Nikki, for having me. Thank you, everybody. um i The only thing I always say to people is just keep going. like Keep doing this. And they're really cool. And I always say this on interviews when people that doubt the love attraction, I'm like, cool. Let's pretend I'm either a liar or I'm just wrong. The really cool thing about these five minutes a day is that they are a win in and of themselves. Because even if they never all led to one single thing, when even though we know they will,
01:03:34
Speaker
The mere fact that you're taking five minutes out of the day where you otherwise would have been worrying about something, ah you know, dwelling on ah a problem or a challenge or difficulty, that in and of itself is a win. There is every reason to just do this and have fun with it and enjoy it. Amen. Amen. Thank you, Andrew. Thank you, guys. Bye, buddy. Be good, Nikki. Take care. Bye. Bye.
