J-WEALTH CLUB | An Interview with Brian Tracy

I believe that thank you very nice to meet you Brad I found that the J wealth club in the J world book club the reason it's called the J ROC club because in order to join the club there's a few conditions you either have to be Jewish or you have to love Jews yes and if you don't love juicy after at least love me I'm Jewish that's great you know we talked about time management and reality we're talking about class management life management yes it's time to accept all life what is life it's time yes and what would a person not stay to get more life exactly you know it's interesting if you were the richest person in the world I came across this I read so much material on time management I stood there I could write another book on time management than yours matter of fact in the next two weeks we cooking the different for this one time adventure but but what I said imagine you work all your life to become the richest person in the world and you were fillings and billions of dollars and you found out that you had a fatal was and that you're going to die within 24 hours however there was this special medicine and if you took this special medicine you would live 24 hours more then if you didn't take the medicine you would get everything you would ever earned that one day more we give everything everything you'd ever earned that one anymore that's how precious life is and when you say that to somebody and yet one of the great writers said that people think nothing of wasting the day the hours and days of their lives and yet they only stopped going they think nothing about wasting the hours invisible eyes and that's really important if you told a person that cosmic accident was going to happen today if you told a person that a meteorite was going to destroy the entire Earth in three days they'd only had three days left yes how would you spend that last three days well the first thing is you want to spend it with the most important people in your life and I said then why aren't you spending it with the most important people in your life already I mean if you had only a short time to live you realize what is more important than anything else and let us say you had a year to live or ten years to live you had only a certain period of time there's a wonderful question that they teach at Stanford this is imagine that you have twenty million dollars cash tax-free in the bank but you find that you only have ten years to live how would you spend your time and in the other if you have all the money that you need to be financially free for the rest of your life but you only have ten years to the how would you spend your time well I spend my time doing this and I do that and I quit this lousy job and I want to do that and I and I stopped putting this off and so on so with certain people start to see how valuable their time is and we do you think about it and when I do behind us I encourage people think about a value of your life is they changed their lives is it may sometimes they need my seminars and they quit their jobs they walk away from a bad relationship they they change their health tablets they do all kinds of stuff when they ask of course what if you only had a short time left for it so it's a great question I want to ask you I created a course called how to go to seven figures by using your unique talents and one of the things I'm mentioning in the course that thing that this is very much in land what you were saying yes let's say the life the life time of the person is a hundred years yes and then you come to a dog it's exactly what you said before within 24 hours but let's say you come to the doctor when you're 80 the doctor tells you you're gonna die unless you know it's gonna cost you your entire wealth to get 20 20 more years he would give everything so what is the difference between living 280 and adding another 20 years then between living you younger younger years and then your older years that they called the golden years in environment it and then Adam in red in the middle you have like 20 30 40 years that you're dead because you do what you absolutely hate doing isn't that like living dying living again yeah absolutely well here's a a wonderful idea my friend Dan Sullivan was a coach a teacher coach - coach Jeff and he says imagine that she wouldn't die at a certain time what what Adrian Buddy Dyer and he said most people never ask themselves that question what age you got a diet well when I say you're gonna die at the age of 8 it's just becoming more and more the common in the age of 80 okay so how would you like to feel at the age of 80 how would you like to feel the age of health fitness weight relationships and you say well I'd like to feel this I like have that I'd like to have lots of energy I get up in the morning everything's okay so now how would you like to feel one day before that when you are one day before the age of 80 and then that would you like to feel one day before that and then work it all the way back to the present day you've heard this it's it's a wonderful idea it's so that one day before you die you would want to feel terrific about yourself so now what you do is you work it all the way back to today and what you need to do today to feel wonderful about yourself how would you organize your day why I teach in my coaching program I say that there's only four ways to change your life you can do more of some things and you can do lots of other things you can start doing something that you've not done before or you can stop doing something all together and those are the only four ways you can change your life I work with a thousand entrepreneurs business owners over the years and we've never found a different answer to that question this won't you one of those four things and so we say well number one is what would you do more up we do more of those things that give you the best results and they give a happiest that make you more fulfilled it give you the greatest joy but what would you do less up we less of the things that you don't enjoy that you don't like and are not that helpful to you and so on what would you start doing that you've never done before well you've always been to do this what is it when would you stop doing the blue stop smoking stop very things that you know eating deserves or anything else what would you stop doing and then as a discipline to just follow through as you decided to do it it's like when you don't live like this it's like going a ride around the that person up in the life buddy so to speak it's for ageless people look alive but you know again you start touching them you don't feel any energy you don't feel anything in them yes you know in the u.s. what is the highest form of life the highest form of life of all and the answer that I've come up to is to experience joy it's to experience joy and so you ask the question and then seminars and there's so many people you ask the question what gives you joy what gives you the greatest joy in life and this is not a simple question it's not a simple answer and don't send me settled or satisfied with the first answer first answer is usually joy comes from the quality of your relationships and being with people you love and doing things that that help and change other people but think about it what gives you joy and how can you organize your life so you were doing more of the things that give you joy and then you organize your life around that why there's a piece of music latest by Mozart called ode to joy and it's one of the great pieces of music you listen to it and it does give you joy I think you know talking about the purpose of life the way I look at it and the way I constantly communicate this with my members the purpose of life is there is a certain purpose and if you really want to know what the purpose of life is just look what you unique talent is because God gave you what you need to have to accomplish your purpose yes and nothing gives you more joy than accomplishing your purpose so it's basically starting with your finish line where do you want to get yes and the same as you mentioned from that Sullivan that you want to you know the last day of your life and then look back the same every morning this day as you mentioned brand is a part of that life yeah so I want to know crystal clear in the morning what is it that I have to accomplish by the end of today that I should be happy with my progress towards the bigger picture that will give me joy you know that's a very important thing was ask asking yourself all the time you know what gives me joy and then having the discipline to do only that one of the things I learned in time management which I teach is what I call the law is 3 and it says basically in your work there's only three things that you do that account for 90% of the value of everything when you do and so your job is to identify and the way you do it is you make a list of everything you do in a week or a month and then you ask yourself three magic questions magic question number one if I could only do one thing on this list all day long which one activity would contribute the greatest value to my life and the circle and usually that one's jumps out at you then it becomes difficult the second one if I could only do two things all day long it would it would be the second things contributes the greatest value to my life and that takes a little bit of reading and research and thought and so on most people have write down twenty to thirty days I've given this to mine Eliza over the years and it's very interesting because it's a life changer and then question number three is if you go to redo three things on this list what would be number three and this this law of three which I began teaching 20 years ago 25 years ago has now become a basic law in some of the biggest companies in the world I am you know as they're landing them off every manager is trying to ask each person what are your big three and is what you're doing right now one of those three by the way people say well how do I find in my area of excellence my great joy and what I find is you ask the question who do I admire the most whose accomplishments do I admire the one who I want to be like what gives me joy I would like to read about what fascinates me what draws me and pulls me well that's an indicator of what you are born to be good at but you're going to be great at it it grabs you and it moves you it pulls you and then when you think about it it makes you happy when you do it see somebody else doing it it makes you happy if you want to do more yourself you [Music]
