  • Are You Intentional with Your Life

    Are You Intentional with Your Life
    Aug 15 2024
    Welcome back to The Daily Mastermind. I'm George Wright III, here with your daily dose of inspiration, motivation, and education. I hope you're having a great day today, and I appreciate you joining me. For those of you here for the first time, I'd love for you to hit the like and subscribe button so you don't ever miss an episode. The Purpose Behind The Daily Mastermind The reason I do The Daily Mastermind is to provide you with a consistent presence that can help you create mental discipline and consistency. This consistency helps you stay focused on what's important and what can help you create your best life ever. I constantly say, and truly believe, that it's never too late to start living the life you're meant to live. Reflecting on Your Current Path You may be feeling like you're getting older, or perhaps you're young and crushing it in business or struggling. No matter where you are in life, you can always make a decision to start going in the direction you'd like to go. I believe the biggest challenge that sets people back in their life, mindset, attitude, emotions, relationships, and communication is traveling a path they don't want to be on. It's crucial to be intentional with your choices and your life. One of my favorite quotes is by Jim Rohn, and I’ll probably paraphrase it a bit here: "We all have two choices. We can make a living or we can design a life." How many of you feel like you're just making a living, getting by, going through the motions based on responsibilities, and reacting to daily circumstances? Making Intentional Choices How many of you are actually living a path that you’ve set in motion? Maybe you don't have all the answers or the exact blueprint, but you're moving toward a vision of where you want your life to be. Which path are you on? We've been told our whole lives that if you do certain things, you'll eventually get to live the life you want, right? I have found over time and through my experience working with some of the greatest thought leaders and experts in the world, that you have to start that path and enjoy the process. Happiness is about the journey, not about reaching a destination. The Importance of Balance Creating balance in life is not about distributing time equally to all areas but being focused on all aspects. You can't let certain areas drop completely and think the rest will go well. Your mental and physical fitness, for example, impact your business, relationships, and communication. It boils down to your daily rituals, like mindset, movement, and eating the right foods, which can significantly increase your productivity. Setting Goals and Living a Balanced Life I often talk to my personal trainer about mental and physical balance. Your mental game empowers you in the gym and vice versa. Setting balance in your goals across mental, physical, spiritual, business, money, family, and relationships is key. That's why The Daily Mastermind touches on mind, money, body, motivation, business, and lifestyle throughout the week. Designing Your Life Many of you ask, "What can I do to start creating my life?" I believe the first step is to get out from under your circumstances and make a decision. Identify your unique talent, the thing you love doing, and find ways to integrate that into your life for both opportunity and fulfillment. Remember, you get paid for the value you bring to the marketplace, not your hours. Committing to Your Goals One of my mentors, T. Harv Eker, always said, "You can have reasons or you can have results, but you can't have both." If you want results in your life, stop making excuses. No matter your current situation, there are people in worse positions. Be grateful for what you have, even if it's not what you want yet, because that gratitude will help you get more of what you want. Aligning Actions with Beliefs If your actions don’t reflect what you say you believe or want, then you probably don’t truly believe it or want it. Sometimes, the best motivation is avoiding pain rather than chasing a reward. The pain of discipline is far less than the pain of regret. Don’t live your life looking back with regret because of a lack of discipline. Focus on thoughts that motivate you to act and make a difference. That's the whole reason behind The Daily Mastermind. Ensure you're consciously and intentionally designing a life, not just making a living. Enjoy the process to stay focused on the moment, which will help you reach the next level. If you enjoyed this, please share the show and tag me, The Daily Mastermind, on Facebook or Instagram. I’d love to interact and see what you're working on. Always feel free to reach out, and I look forward to talking with you more tomorrow. Have an amazing day! George Wright III Join me here: JointheEvolution.com and DailyMastermind.com

  • Kathy Ireland's Licensing & Global Brand Strategies

    Kathy Ireland's Licensing & Global Brand Strategies
    Aug 13 2024
    Welcome back to The Daily Mastermind with George Wright III, your source for daily inspiration, motivation, and education. Today, we delve deep into the fascinating world of branding and licensing with none other than Kathy Ireland. From her early days as a supermodel to her current status as a business mogul, Kathy offers invaluable lessons on overcoming obstacles, building relationships, and creating a brand that stands the test of time. The Power of Authority Marketing In recent episodes, we’ve explored various ways to grow your business using authority marketing. Whether through magazines, podcasts, or mobile video technology, establishing your authority can significantly boost your revenue and personal brand. Today, we focus on an exemplary case: Kathy Ireland. As a supermodel turned business mogul, her journey offers profound lessons on branding and licensing. Kathy Ireland: The Brand and the Business Kathy Ireland's transformation from an international supermodel to a successful businesswoman is nothing short of inspiring. I had the privilege of interviewing her for our magazine, Valiant CEO. With over 100,000 monthly readers and peaks reaching up to 700,000, we’ve featured many celebrities, but Kathy's approach to branding and licensing stands out as particularly impactful. Transitioning from Supermodel to Business Mogul One of the first questions we asked Kathy was about the challenges she faced in transitioning from a supermodel to a business mogul. She emphasized the importance of forming strategic partnerships. According to her, finding the right people is crucial—it's all about people. She has worked with notable figures like Marcus Lemonis from CNBC’s "The Profit," who stresses putting people before profits, a principle she strongly believes in. "Finding the right people is crucial. It's all about people," Kathy says. The ability to reach a broader audience through licensing has been monumental in her growth. The process involved collaborating with others, leveraging mutual relationships, and fostering loyalty and recognition. Overcoming Obstacles and Building Resilience Kathy faced numerous rejections in her modeling career, which developed her resilience. She explains that obstacles and rejections fueled her determination rather than defeating her. One of her notable quotes from the interview is, "Anytime you embark on something new, facing opposition is inevitable. Reflecting on my modeling career, one of the greatest gifts was the resilience developed through numerous rejections." This mindset has been crucial in her entrepreneurial journey. She advises that instead of merely trying to overcome obstacles, use them as opportunities to build resilience. Evolving Mindsets in Entrepreneurship We also discussed how Kathy's mindset evolved from the early stages of her entrepreneurial journey to her current endeavors with Kathy Ireland Worldwide. She points out the importance of not letting others' opinions define or destroy you. "Not letting someone else's opinion define or destroy you is critical to not limiting yourself," she says. Setting clear goals and understanding your audience are essential to navigating negative opinions and remaining focused on your objectives. The Cornerstone of Licensing Licensing played a pivotal role in Kathy’s brand expansion. She highlights the importance of establishing strong relationships with potential partners, noting that it’s as much about partnerships as it is about the licensing model itself. Early Stages and Initial Licensing Deals In discussing her initial licensing deals, Kathy shares a humble beginning with just a pair of socks. Her partnership with John and Marilyn Moritz has been fundamental to their success. Quality products, simplicity, and practical vision were the cornerstones that guided their initial endeavors. Risk Management and Integrity Maintaining brand integrity has been one of Kathy’s priorities. She stresses the significance of conducting a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis to evaluate risks comprehensively. Financial circumstances should never be an excuse to overlook risk management. "In the world of licensing, just because we can doesn't mean we should," she points out. Kathy’s example underscores the importance of aligning deals with your brand values and long-term vision. Passion Drives Success When asked about sectors she is passionate about today, Kathy mentioned her continued interest in fashion, home, and FinTech. However, what excites her most is the privilege of making a difference through her business endeavors. "Success for me is making a difference," she concludes. Final Thoughts: Building Your Personal Brand In wrapping up, I emphasize the importance of building your personal brand and creating authority in the market. Standing out is more challenging than ever, but featuring yourself in magazines, podcasts, and social media can help you build trust and create a lasting ...

  • 12 Principles to Guide Your Life

    12 Principles to Guide Your Life
    Aug 12 2024

    Welcome back to The Daily Mastermind, where you get your daily dose of inspiration, motivation, and education. This is George Wright III, and I hope you're as excited to start this week as I am. Reflecting on last week's phenomenal Academy live event with world-class speakers like Nathan Williams, Baron Baptiste, Forbes Riley, and Greg Anderson made me realize the importance of grounding ourselves with clear principles. With that in mind, I want to kick off this week by diving into the 12 Prosperity Principles I've cultivated over decades of learning from the best.

    1. I Create My Life

    The legendary Jim Rohn once said, "We all have two choices: We can make a living or we can design a life." Your thoughts create your reality. When you truly embrace the idea that you create your life, you become proactive in shaping a future that aligns with your dreams.

    2. I Take Personal Responsibility

    Taking responsibility is crucial for taking control over your life. As Tony Robbins points out, "It's in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped." Accept the consequences of your choices and use that empowerment to drive your future actions.

    3. I Act in Spite of My Mood

    Bruce Lee famously said, "The successful warrior is the average man with laser-like focus." Success requires action, even when you don't feel like it. Overcome inertia and act despite your mood to carve out a future others only dream of.

    4. I Surround Myself with Positive People

    Your environment profoundly impacts your journey. Ensure that you're surrounded by positive influences, whether through podcasts, music, or relationships. Construct an environment that aligns with your goals and dreams.

    5. I Focus on Solutions

    Your perception shapes your reality. Instead of harping on problems, concentrate on solutions. If you dream it, you can achieve it, but the key is maintaining a solution-focused mindset.

    6. I Create an Attitude of Abundance

    As Winston Churchill observed, "Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference." An abundant mindset isn't born out of scarcity but from recognizing the wealth that surrounds us. Focus on what you have to cultivate more of what you want.

    7. I Choose to Be Happy

    "Happiness is not a destination but a path," Wayne Dyer wisely said. Happiness is a choice. Shift your goals from controlling circumstances to controlling your decisions and happiness will follow.

    8. I Always Think Win-Win

    Reframe your mindset to believe in win-win situations. Wayne Dyer noted, "When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." Embrace abundance and believe in mutual success to draw like-minded individuals towards you.

    9. I Am Committed to Lifelong Learning

    Knowledge is power, but applied knowledge leads to transformation. Learning plus application equals experience, which shapes your beliefs. Commit to continual learning and active application to evolve and succeed.

    10. I Create Daily Rituals

    Success is built on successful habits. Determine the daily rituals that will propel you towards your goals, whether it's meditating, working out, or specific professional tasks. Establish and maintain positive habits to create success.

    11. I Attract Success

    Jim Rohn said, "Success is not to be pursued but attracted by the person you become." Rather than chasing success, focus on becoming a better person. Attract success through self-improvement and evolving your mindset.

    12. I Visualize and Manifest My Life

    Clarity precedes creation. Understand what you want before striving to achieve it. Visualization and manifestation aren't about productivity but about precisely knowing and focusing on your goals to avoid running in circles.

    Final Thoughts

    I've shared these 12 Prosperity Principles with you to help ground and focus your week ahead. If you need a refresher during the week, feel free to revisit this post. You can also get a poster or a free PDF of these principles by visiting DailyMastermind.com.

  • 10X Your Leadership

    10X Your Leadership
    Aug 8 2024
    Reshaping Your Identity and 10x Thinking This week, each day leading up to the event, we'll explore how you can transform your mindset. The idea is to stretch your thinking beyond conventional limits and embrace the concept of 10x growth. Our Tonight will dive deeper into these strategies, and I hope you'll join us. Look for the links in the show notes for more details. Leadership and the 10x Mindset In today's segment, we focus on leadership – a critical component of the 10x mindset. I've been inspired by Dr. Benjamin Hardy and Dan Sullivan's groundbreaking work on this topic, particularly their book "10x Is Easier Than 2x." I want to start today's discussion with the Quote of the Day: "A life of ease is a difficult pursuit." This quote underscores the necessity of effort and transformation. Key Areas of Transformation The journey towards 10x growth spans three core areas: identity, time, and leadership. Today, I’ll concentrate on leadership, sharing insights from Hardy and Sullivan’s work.

    Identity

    Transforming your identity means shedding limiting beliefs and outdated processes. It requires embracing a new version of yourself that's capable of achieving exponential growth. The first step is analyzing what you focus on and discarding the old 2x mentality.

    Time

    Your approach to time management needs an overhaul. Instead of merely doubling your efforts, you need to maximize the impact of your activities. This shift is crucial to achieving 10x results.

    Leadership

    Leadership is not just about managing people; it's about inspiring and empowering them to realize their full potential. True leadership is built on trust and transformation. Building Trust in Leadership Trust is the cornerstone of effective leadership. It's not just about trusting yourself, but ensuring your team trusts you. To cultivate this trust, you must inspire and motivate your team, helping each member become their best self. Trust fosters an environment where people feel empowered to innovate and take calculated risks. Practical Steps to Cultivate Trust
    1. Let Go of Control: This can be challenging, especially for entrepreneurs and managers. However, relinquishing control is essential for fostering a self-managing team.
    2. Invest in Growth: Commit resources to your team's development. Help them acquire new skills and perspectives, aligning personal goals with organizational goals.
    3. Create a Positive Culture: Develop policies and an environment that encourage collaboration and respect. A culture of trust and involvement is crucial for long-term growth.
    4. Encourage Innovation: Reward out-of-the-box thinking and creative problem-solving. Recognize and appreciate efforts focused on finding solutions, not just identifying problems.
    Moving Towards Empowerment To truly achieve a 10x life and business, leverage leadership strategies that empower your team. Stop micromanaging and cultivate a culture of trust. This shift from management to empowerment will unlock exponential growth potential. You have Greatness inside you. I know you can Learn, Grow and Accomplish anything you put your mind toward.

  • 10X Your Time

    10X Your Time
    Aug 7 2024
    The Power of a 10X Mindset

    We've been exploring the idea that 10X is easier than 2X. The three core areas you need to transform are your identity, your time, and your leadership. Yesterday, we discussed the importance of reshaping your identity. Today, let’s focus on your time.

    Rethinking Time Management

    Time management isn’t just about scheduling. It’s about your perception of time. Robert Stuberg, a mentor of mine, emphasized the importance of viewing time differently. Understanding this allows you to leverage your time effectively, expand your productivity, and get a better return on your time investment.

    Attention: Your Greatest Asset

    The most important aspect of time is your attention. Gary Vaynerchuk and many others highlight that attention is crucial. What you focus on, grows. Are you focusing on scarcity or abundance? Are your activities strategically leveraging your time or simply making you feel busy?

    Examine your calendar and ask yourself: Are you focusing on tasks that will 10X your life or merely 2X it? Are you engaging in innovative, growth-oriented activities, or repeating the same mundane tasks?

    Quality of Focus

    In addition to attention, the quality of your focus is paramount. Do not just manage your schedule, focus on the depth of your attention. Are you dabbling in opportunities or going deep? Quality focus helps identify and maximize opportunities.

    Measuring Return on Time

    Finally, measure the return on your time. It's not just about working hard but achieving significant results. Evaluate the tasks you are spending your time on and ensure they align with your aspirations. If you aim to be a high-earner, focus on high-value tasks.

    This week, reflect on your identity and time. Share your thoughts and join us as we continue our deep dive into leadership tomorrow. We’ll discuss how prioritizing high-impact tasks using the 80/20 principle can advance your 10X mindset.

    Remember, this is The Daily Mastermind. Stay tuned, and I’ll talk with you soon. Don’t forget to share, like, and subscribe to never miss an episode.

    You have Greatness inside you. I know you can Learn, Grow and Accomplish anything you put your mind toward. I appreciate you listening today. See you tomorrow.

  • 10X Your Identity

    10X Your Identity
    Aug 6 2024
    Reshaping Your Identity: The Foundation of Success Your personal identity is fundamentally tied to your potential for growth. Many people struggle with reshaping their identity, which prevents them from reaching their full potential. Our focus this week, leading up to our Thursday event, is to guide you in reshaping your thinking and becoming a 10X thinker. Understanding the 10X Mindset As George Wright III discusses, the 10X mindset isn't about doubling down on your current efforts. Instead, it's about making radical changes in three core areas: identity, time, and leadership. This shift is essential to breaking through your current limitations and achieving extraordinary success. The Daily Mastermind Quote of the Day A powerful quote to inspire you comes from Napoleon Hill: "What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve." This quote encapsulates the essence of the 10X mindset—believing in and working towards a greater vision of yourself. You've got to believe that you can achieve big things, regardless of your current circumstances. Identity: Your Story and Your Standards Your story is the narrative you’ve constructed based on your past experiences, present decisions, and future aspirations. It’s crucial to become aware of how this narrative influences your life. Your Story Every one of us has a story, a narrative formed by past experiences. Successful individuals learn to view their story not just from a past perspective but also from a future-oriented view. They visualize their future selves and make decisions based on that vision, rather than being restricted by past failures or current limitations. Your Standards Your standards are the benchmarks you hold yourself to, shaping your identity. The higher your standards, the closer you align with your future 10X self. It's essential to continuously raise the floor of your standards—what you’re currently willing to accept and strive for—to achieve higher goals and greater self-confidence. Drilling Down: Applying the 10X Mindset to Identity, Time, and Leadership Identity To adopt a 10X mindset, you must change your self-perception. This involves visualizing the confident, successful version of yourself and making present-day decisions that align with that vision. Stop letting your past dictate your future. Focus instead on who you want to become and let that guide your actions. Time Effective time management isn’t just about doing more in less time; it’s about doing the right things that lead to massive growth. We will explore this further in our next session, diving into how you can make time work for you and achieve exponential results. Leadership Great leadership is about more than just guiding others; it’s about leading yourself. Transforming your identity requires a shift in how you lead your life. We will discuss strategies for enhancing your leadership skills, enabling you to inspire yourself and others toward a 10X level of success. Remember, you have greatness within you. The 10X version of yourself already holds the answers to the challenges you're facing and the opportunities awaiting you. Today, we focused on reshaping your identity. In our next discussion, we'll delve into optimizing your time for greater success. Share this journey with others and help spread the message of the Daily Mastermind. Together, we can inspire, motivate, and educate each other toward achieving extraordinary goals.

  • 10X Your Life by Reframing Your Identity

    10X Your Life by Reframing Your Identity
    Aug 5 2024
    Welcome to the Daily Mastermind! Today, I'm excited to delve into the topic of reshaping your identity and 10X'ing every aspect of your life. This discussion is especially timely because, at the end of this week, we’re launching an Academy live event focused on a major growth strategy. This strategy centers around creating authority in the marketplace—a critical element for cutting through the noise and truly dominating your space. Let's dive in! Introduction to 10X Thinking In today's session, we will discuss creating a 10X plan to propel you through the rest of the year and into the next. To start, let's consider a relevant quote from Tony Robbins: "Successful people ask better questions and get better answers." This highlights the essence of the Daily Mastermind—challenging your mind every day and raising your level of self-awareness and productivity. Reflecting on Your Year Let's begin by asking some introspective questions: How are you doing this year? Are you satisfied with your results so far? If not, what’s holding you back? Identifying these hurdles is crucial to developing a plan to overcome them. Remember, successful people don’t just reach the finish line—they push through it. If you haven’t met your goals, it’s vital to reassess and refine your strategies. The Concept of 10X Growth You've heard me talk about 10X thinking frequently. This concept, discussed by Grant Cardone and also explored in the book "10X is Easier Than 2X" by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy, is not just about doing more. It's about a fundamental shift in how you view and approach your goals. A 10X vision challenges you to think in terms of quality rather than quantity. While 2X growth involves doing more of what you’re already doing, 10X growth requires reinventing your approach. It involves reshaping three core areas of your life: identity, time, and leadership. 1. Identity Your identity shapes how you react to situations and processes. It's foundational to your ability to achieve transformational growth. Viewing your past year and upcoming goals through the lens of your identity will help you see opportunities for improvement and innovation more clearly. 2. Time Effective time management isn’t just about being productive—it’s about leveraging the quality and depth of your time. Seeking a higher return on investment for your time is essential. This involves prioritizing activities that align with your 10X goals and eliminating those that don’t contribute effectively to your vision. 3. Leadership Strong leadership is pivotal to elevating both yourself and those around you. Focus on attracting and nurturing the right people who can join you on this journey. Developing leadership skills will enable you to inspire and guide others toward a shared vision. The 80/20 Principle Central to achieving 10X growth is adopting the 80/20 principle. Rather than continuing to do twice as much of what you’re already doing, this principle encourages you to let go of 80% of your current activities. Concentrate on the top 20% that yield the most significant results. This requires a shift in mindset from incremental improvements to transformative changes. Weekly Focus Throughout this week, I will delve deeper into each of these core areas: Tuesday: Identity Wednesday: Time Thursday: Leadership By the end of the week, I want you to be ready to implement these strategies as you frame your vision for the coming year. This journey will culminate in Friday’s session, where we'll address the necessity of letting go of 80% of your current routine to make room for extraordinary growth. You have Greatness inside you. I know you can Learn, Grow and Accomplish anything you put your mind toward. I appreciate you listening today. See you tomorrow.

  • You are Not The Voice Inside Your Head

    You are Not The Voice Inside Your Head
    Aug 1 2024

    Today, I want to do something a little different—something you might be able to just listen to in the background while you're working, jogging, or working out.

    I'll be sharing a chapter from a book that has brought me significant clarity and direction, and I hope it can do the same for you. The book in question is The Untethered Soul by Michael Singer. This piece of literature has been a massive inspiration in my life, particularly during times when I've struggled with the incessant chatter of my mind.

    The Voice Inside Your Head

    We all have this internal dialogue that makes it difficult sometimes to focus on life as it unfolds. Whether we're reliving the past or worrying about the future, these thoughts can become significant distractions. Today, I'll be reading the first chapter of The Untethered Soul, titled "The Voice Inside Your Head," and sharing some insights along the way.

    The Constant Mental Dialogue

    In case you haven't noticed, you have a mental dialogue going on inside your head that never stops. It keeps talking incessantly, covering every mundane and significant aspect of your life. Have you ever wondered why it talks, how it decides what to say, and when to say it? How much of what it says is true or even important?

    If right now you're thinking, "I don't have a voice inside my head," that's the voice I'm talking about. It's essential to step back and get to know this internal voice a little better. Typically, we're too close to it to be objective, so it requires conscious effort to observe it without interference.

    Recognizing and Observing the Voice

    Imagine you're driving and suddenly remember that you forgot to call someone. Your mind then embarks on a dialogue of guilt, worry, and justification. This voice takes both sides of every conversation. It's indifferent to the stance it takes, as long as it keeps talking.

    When you're tired and trying to sleep, this voice can keep you awake by cycling through worries and reminders. Even if what it says is soothing and nice, it's still disrupting your ability to rest genuinely.

    Stepping Back from the Noise

    The most effective way to free yourself from this incessant chatter is to step back and view the voice objectively. Don’t differentiate between what it says; realize that you're merely the observer of the voice. If you hear it talking, it's obviously not you. You're the one noticing it.

    Finding Objectivity

    To truly grow, you must recognize that you are not the voice of your mind; you're the one hearing it. This understanding is pivotal. Most people's efforts to find themselves involve identifying with various aspects of their personality, trying to figure out which voice represents their true self. The reality is, you're none of those voices.

    Examining Your Mental Model of Reality

    When you recreate the world within your mind, you experience a personal representation rather than the actual reality. This mental narration can help you feel in control, but it also buffers you from life's true essence. The mind creates a semblance of control by processing experiences through a mental framework of past memories and future anxieties.

    Living Beyond the Melodrama

    The mental voice talks because you've given it the job of making you feel secure. It narrates your life, judges it, and creates a mental model different from actual reality. By attempting to control this internal narrative, you're only holding yourself back from genuinely experiencing life.

    True Personal Growth

    Real personal growth comes from transcending the part of yourself that feels unsafe and needs constant protection. This is achieved by consistently remembering that you're the observer of the voice, not the voice itself. This realization opens the door to profound self-awareness and personal power.

    I hope these ideas inspire you to explore your internal dialogue more deeply and recognize that you are the one in control of your mind. It’s crucial to remember that your mind is a tool, and by gaining objectivity and control over it, you can create the life you desire.

    Thank you for spending your day with me. If something resonated with you, consider sharing it with others. Teaching and sharing these insights can help solidify your understanding and spread the message.
