Our daily behavior always reflects our deepest beliefs. Related to that is you will never do anything consistent with your self-identity and your personal story. If you believe that geniuses are cut from different cloth and that you can dominate your domain and push masterwork into the world, then you’re not even going to read about how to do it. You’re not going to install the habits of mastery. You’re not even going to be interested in it because what would be the point? You’re not the kind of person who can become a genius. You see how powerful your self-identity is? If you grew up in a family with a lot of scarcity and you have a story which is billionaires, or millionaires, or people with financial freedom are somehow different from you, then you’re not going to read the books. You’re not going to do the work. You’re not going to develop the routines, rituals, and habits that will deliver prosperity and economic freedom into your life. So the real work is the inner work. The doorway to success doesn’t open outward, it opens inward. And when you work on your mindset, you really start to reshape and reorder your self-identity, and you start to see yourself as someone who can live a world-class life. You start to see yourself as someone who is deserving of doing great work and being really healthy, and having wonderful, loving people around you, and having peace in your life and beauty in your life. The more you work on your beliefs and your psychology, your Mindset, the better your world becomes because you’re shaping the way you see the world. I have a philosophy called the 2x3x Mindset that really speaks to the power of working on yourself and becoming a legendary learner. And simply this, to double your income and your impact, triple your investment in two core areas, your personal mastery and your professional ability. Become someone who loves to learn. Read more books, have a mentor, listen to podcasts, do online courses. Go to a live event every quarter. Do not go to sleep for even one day. Don’t go to sleep unless you’ve spent 60 minutes in learning. Because it really is true, success belongs to the people who grow.
