cd 02 part 2

this is what you should be doing listen so how how much are they listening each day well we i designed this lecture with breaks approximately every hour and that's a very good way you can listen to one cd then take a break but i'll give you another little trick if you listen to these cds in 20 minute intervals which means you listen for about 20 minutes shut the cd off go get a glass of water go for a walk go have some lunch then listen to another 20 minutes then take another break for 5 or 10 or 15 minutes or an hour or two then listen to another 20 minutes that's really the ideal way of being able to absorb all this information but listening to him for three hours straight every day boom for some of you you'll sit down and say i'm gonna start at nine o'clock in the morning listen all day till five and then listen all day on the next day that's fine as well but just listen to them over and over and over and over again because there's so much information packed in this on in this lecture in these cds because we have limited time you have to listen to it over and over and over again to get the information and for those of you at home i would also suggest that you buy some baroque classical music and you can play that softly in the background baroque classical music will actually lower your resting heart rate reduce your blood pressure and synchronize the left and right brain hemispheres it will actually put you in what's called an alpha state which is the ideal state for learning new information because it'll be synchronized into both hemispheres of the brain so if you're listening to these series while playing baroque classical music in the background that's an ideal way of doing this as well the reason i didn't put baroque classical music on the cds or here in the lecture hall was this is an individual preference based on the music and the volume some people just can't concentrate for a lot of reasons we'll talk about later if there's any music playing whatsoever initially because of a lot of different factors so baroque classical music test it if you like it and play that softly in the background at a level with these cds it's very effective for some people it can be very irritating if it is irritating that's another issue which we're going to address later in terms of how to focus and what causes you not to be able to focus or putting the mind in two different places which we'll talk a little bit later so i hope that answered your question any other questions comments or observations okay great so we talked about two basic things the first two steps who do you listen to and you should be listening to people who have the results to prove what they say is true second what is your teachability index i'm hammering teachability index why because if you ain't teachable then everything goes in one ear and out the other you have to focus on teachability index every day you can't say oh i'm teachable and expect it just to last forever because in a day you can be teachable in the morning and not teachable in the afternoon you have to constantly consider your own teachability index third step third step is what's called the training balance scale i learned this at one of my mentors in the society at his home in memphis tennessee one of the wealthiest guys in tennessee and i was there for a day of one-on-one mentoring back in 25 years ago now and this is one of the concepts we spent eight hours working on now again i want to just digress for a second i got you guys today and tomorrow for those listening to the cds you're going to get about 10 plus hours of material and i'm jamming in so much material in a short period of time as i mentioned i'm giving you kind of a thumbnail sketch kind of a bird's eye view i'm touching on things in real life each one of these subjects each one of these subjects you just take teachability index i could spend three days working on teachability index just three days when i learned this next concept i went down and i spent an entire day we started at breakfast we worked through lunch we worked through dinner and we were up till around two o'clock in the morning and i had felt like i didn't get anywhere close to all the information on this subject and it was true this subject is called the training balance scale now over the years i've gotten more information on this one subject i'm going to give you guys about 30 minutes worth of information if i were to focus on this one topic we could spend three four five days together on this one topic and somebody says is that really valuable is that really needed to spend three days on teachability index or four days or five days on teachability index or 30 or 40 or 50 hours on this quote training balance scale the answer is yeah it is but only when you're ready you can't do that right in the beginning see you you eat an elephant one bite at a time if if we're going to teach you mathematics think of all the information that can be taught on the subject of mathematics well if you have never learned anything about mathematics and this is the first lesson on mathematics i'm going to have to teach you what the numbers are one through nine and zero you don't even know how to make a number three you don't know what a three represents you don't know what a five represents so i have to teach you the numbers first and explain that this this this squiggly line which we call a three means three bits of information and i'd have to teach it to you by throwing three paper clips down say that's three and then i'd show you five paper clips and go that's five and i'd start showing you what these numbers represent by giving you something in the physical universe you could see and touch and feel we have to start there first then i'd have to teach you addition then subtraction then multiplication then division i think about when we learned all this stuff how many years did it take to learn just that remember long division ooh how to carry numbers then we have to teach fractions wow some of you like i remember fractions how do you multiply fractions in decimals then geometry in algebra calculus trigonometry do you understand that same thing here when you look at a concept like teachability index think of it as mathematics you may think you know everything already about teachability index remember what i said in the beginning you don't know what you don't know i laugh because i'm holding back there's so much knowledge and information about teachability index i just scratched the scratch of the scratch of the surface just giving you a little bit just enough that you need right now so that your your eyes don't roll in the back of your head so each one of these subjects later i'm going to do the full blown teaching on each one of these subjects now this seminar today and tomorrow is what we call the basic seminar it's the basic information and it's just giving you the scratch of the scratch of the scratch of the surface of each one of the subjects you can then take this basic information each of the subjects break it down and give you another 30 hours of information on each one of these subjects but then there's advanced material which goes beyond this do i need all this stuff the answer is no everything you need is in these cds and in this lecture why because you have one lifetime here keep this in mind you have one lifetime here you're starting from zero if you were born into an elite family by the time you're 20 30 years old you're not at zero some of you here in the room 30 40 50 years old guess what if you were born in elite family you would have had that much time to learn all this stuff you you can't learn everything you can take this information and create so much in your life it's gonna blow you away and a lot of times people relish and enjoy what they're creating with this new knowledge and this new power and they don't want to do anything more you don't have to go any further and some of you may choose to so that information will be available but it's not requirement my gosh the information you're gonna have access to today and tomorrow will allow you to create more than you could ever dream possible and only then will you be able to dream further and get bigger so let's talk about training balance scale again i learned this for the first time when i was in memphis 25 years ago and this was a profound learning experience for me the training balance scale is a scale and on one side of the scale is what's called thinking you could also call it i'm going to give you a bunch of different words for this side of the scale thoughts thinking desires dreams goals attitude mental processes objectives one side of the scale this side of the scale deals with thoughts it deals with your mind what goes on inside your mind how you think you can also put down a word called vibration intention energy this side of the training balance scale deals with thoughts what goes on in the mind only how you think it also this side of the training balance scale is how you feel your emotions so this side of the training balance scale if you break it down deals with your thoughts and your emotions how you think and how you feel the second side of the training balance scale is actions physical movements what you do techniques strategies action steps plans activities this side of the training balance scale is the physical actions that you do it's the acting out so the difference is i'm thinking of calling my brother that's on the thought part of the training balance scale physically picking up the phone and dialing is on the action part the thought part is i'm thinking of a battle plan a plan of attack i'm thinking of putting a project into motion that's my thought physically putting that into motion buying a filing cabinet getting a desk setting up a corporation writing a business plan the actually doing is on the other side of the training balance scale the thought another word you could say is the why the action part of the training balance scale is the how primarily the big difference between these two is one is just your thoughts and the other one is the actual actions put into place those are the big differences between this training balance scale now the reason this is called a training balance scale is when you're learning information the theory is that there should be a balance between these two there should be a balance between dreams goals attitude another good word is motivation on the thought part motivation there should be a balance between motivating somebody if you're going to train them you want to motivate them and get them excited and talk about the dreams and the goals and how they're going to feel when they're successful and they achieve this and there should be a balance between doing that and also teaching them techniques specifically how do they make a phone call how do they set up the corporation how do they do this how do they do that there should be a balance between teaching the real techniques that you apply in real life the how and motivating or working on a person's goals and dreams and how they're going to feel when they achieve this success and there should be a balance the theory is i'm using the word theory on purpose the theory is if you work only on motivation like if you go to sales training seminars you go to a lot of these guru seminars on how to be successful weekends walk on fire and all these different things they work on motivation motivation motivation and people leave and they're motivated idiots they're so motivated but they have no concept no idea of what to do and the other side of the coins you go to some of these boring boring seminars that teach you technique technique technique technique technique skills skills skills skills skills the how the how the how the procedure the method the other side of the training balance scale that person leaves and does nothing because he's not motivated so the theory is when you train somebody you have to have a balance between working on their motivation and attitude and dreams and goals the thoughts and training them on techniques skills methods procedures the how you have to work on the why and the how when you're training somebody well none of you are training anybody right now you're being trained so the reason we bring this up is you need to understand both sides of the training balance scale so as you're learning new information you should learn both the why you should be working on your goals your dreams your wants your desires your thoughts your attitude your motivation and you should also be working on the how the skills the techniques the methods the actions learning exactly how to do the actions you must learn both but the theory is that the balance should be that you learn equal amounts of both and this my friends is the great myth that will keep you broke it is a myth purposely put on you by the elite class
