01:05 - 01:22 Rob Dial

I was really inspired and saddened at the same time. I was talking with a good friend of mine and his dad had been at a job for 20 years and his dad got fired from the job after 20 years. And he thought for the longest time that his job was so quote unquote secure.

0

00:00 - 00:00 Rob Dial

And I want to tell you this, not to scare anybody at all, but when you're working for someone else, it's not really, quote unquote, security. Because if we saw something in 2020, 35 million people in the United States alone got fired in 2020 when COVID came through. That's not real security. And so... I got inspired to really think like, all right, well, he needs to turn his life around.

00:00 - 00:00 Rob Dial

His dad really needs to kind of change his life around and start over in a lot of different ways. And his dad started looking around and being like, well, what do I want to do with my life? What are my dreams? What is it that I want to do? I've been doing this thing for so long. And then I was just dropped. Maybe I should start thinking about what is it I want to do.

00:00 - 00:00 Rob Dial

And so this is going to be a three-step process to completely change your life in the next six months. Step number one is very simple, but for some reason, I don't get why people rarely ever actually do this. And I say this over and over and over and over and over again, but you have to get really clear on what it is that you want in your life. You have to get crystal clear.

00:00 - 00:00 Rob Dial

Like if a four-year-old came up to you and they're like, explain it to me in detail. You could explain it in detail to a four-year-old. It's got to be very simple, very clear. But most people are like, well, I just want to make more money. That goal sucks. Oh, I just want to lose weight. That goal sucks. Get more clear. What do you want?

00:00 - 00:00 Rob Dial

You cannot drift through life anymore without a clear destination. It's gone too long. You need to get very clear on what is it you want. Look at all of the ancient texts. They all say something along the lines of, ask and you shall receive. You're not asking because you're not getting clear. You know, so most people, they kind of drift through life and they have no real clear destination.

Chapter 2: What is the first step to change your life in six months?

03:04 - 03:26 Rob Dial

They wake up, they drive to work, they go to work, and they do their job for a little while. Then they get back in their car and they drive home and they watch Netflix and they might have some sort of dinner. And it's on repeat every single day, Monday through Friday. And then they sit around, they're like, I wonder why nothing in my life ever changes. Because you don't change.

0

03:26 - 03:42 Rob Dial

You haven't gotten clear on what it is that you want. Do not let you be one of those people. Here's what you need to do. You need to figure out your vision. You need to figure out what it is that you want and you need to lock into that vision. And so you got to ask yourself, what do I actually want?

0

03:43 - 04:05 Rob Dial

Like if a Gundam was to my head and said, explain it to me in as much detail as possible, I would have to explain it. So like not what your parents want for you, not what society wants for you. What excites you? What do you want? I want you to picture yourself six months from now living your ideal life. Where are you? What do you do for work? How do you feel? What do your days look like?

0

04:06 - 04:13 Rob Dial

And I want you to write it down, pen and paper, seriously and get specific. The more vivid your vision, the stronger your drive will be.

0

00:00 - 00:00 Rob Dial

And then what I want you to do is I want you to brainwash yourself in a good way because we've unconsciously been brainwashed by everything that's ever happened to us in our entire life, every moment of our life, every conversation, every person that we've watched. We've all been brainwashed in some sort of way. Now it's time for you to brainwash yourself.

Chapter 3: How can visualization and affirmations help in achieving goals?

04:31 - 04:49 Rob Dial

Your brain is constantly reinforcing whatever it is that you feed it. So you've got to start feeding it the future that you want. You've got to visualize it daily. You've got to see it. You've got to see yourself already living the life that you want. Then you've got to develop some form of affirmations, even though they feel weird and they feel corny.

0

04:49 - 05:09 Rob Dial

They start to feel a lot more empowering the more that you do them. right? And say to yourself what it is that you want. So let's just use the example for today's episode. Like I want to start, maybe I work for, I'm an accountant at some firm and I've been there for 12 years. And I'm like, you know what? I really want to start a business and I want to earn $10,000 a month in my business.

0

05:10 - 05:27 Rob Dial

Okay, well then my affirmation is going to be something like, let's say that you want to start a, I always use an example of Etsy business. Let's say it's an Etsy business. Let's say you want to start an Etsy jewelry business. You're going to start visualizing what that would look like to have that Etsy jewelry business and visualize it and visualize it.

0

05:28 - 05:43 Rob Dial

And then you're going to say to yourself, I'm becoming the person who makes $10,000 a month off their Etsy jewelry business. I'm becoming the person who earns $10,000 a month off their Etsy jewelry business. Your brain does not know the difference between something that's real and something that you're imagining.

0

00:00 - 00:00 Rob Dial

So when you visualize it and then you speak it, you're basically brainwashing yourself into believing that it's possible. Because most of the time, we're just stopping ourselves because we don't believe that it's possible. Like we kind of do, but we don't fully believe it. And then what I want you to do is control your inputs.

00:00 - 00:00 Rob Dial

So stop watching all of the negative news, cut out all of the doubters in your life, the people that don't want more for you or the people when you tell them your dreams are like, oh, that's not possible. And then consume success stories.

00:00 - 00:00 Rob Dial

Start looking at other people who came from nothing, people who built a business to $10,000 a month in their first six months, someone else who has built a successful jewelry business. So maybe you look at the story of Kendra Scott and how she built a billion dollar business. And then what I want you to do is I want you to figure out what it is. And this is a big, big piece of all of this, right?

00:00 - 00:00 Rob Dial

Is to figure out what is it you want and have a part of that be a high income skill that you want to learn and master. And so if you want to change your life fast, you need to pick a skill that is a high income skill or can become a high income skill.

00:00 - 00:00 Rob Dial

and then what you're going to do it could be and i'll give you a bunch of different examples right it could be like running facebook ads for other people it could be writing articles it could be making youtube videos it could be coaching people it could be starting a shopify store it could be you know starting an etsy store it could be doing facebook ad revenue it could be sponsorships it could be

Chapter 4: What is the importance of learning a high-income skill?

07:11 - 07:30 Rob Dial

Starting a clothing brand. It could be selling courses. It could be writing emails for other people and getting better at copywriting. It could be selling supplements. It could be selling something on Amazon. It could be being a freelancer on Upwork.com. It could be social media management. It could be YouTube. It could be writing Kindle books, consulting, freelance writing.

0

07:30 - 07:49 Rob Dial

I don't care what it is. Figure out one skill that really interests you, not like I'm just doing this for money, but it actually truly interests you. And then commit. You spend the next six months mastering one skill. Because I'm going to tell you, if you really focus on the next six months, you go to your job that you hate, whatever, you come home and you go, I'm going to focus on this skill.

0

07:49 - 08:04 Rob Dial

I'm going to try to get as much knowledge about this skill and getting better at this skill over the next six months. If you do that in six months, you'll be better than most people in this world at that skill. And if it's a high income skill, guess what? Eventually you could turn it into a business in some sort of way.

0

08:04 - 08:23 Rob Dial

And so that's the first thing is to get really, really clear on what is it you want. The second thing that you're going to do is you're going to make a plan. And guess what? You're actually going to follow it. So make a plan because what is a goal without a plan? It's more than anything else. It's just a wish. And we will be right back. And now back to the show.

0

00:00 - 00:00 Rob Dial

And so what you want to do is you want to make an action plan that you'll actually stick to. And so you're going to want to figure out, OK, I know in six months I want to be here. So let's break it down. So instead of saying something like I want to make $10,000 a month, make it tangible. How much do you need to be making per week? How many clients or products or services do you need to get there?

00:00 - 00:00 Rob Dial

If you're selling just bracelets, how many bracelets do you need to sell to be at $10,000 per week? What actions are going to move the needle the most? And you break it down so that you actually make it tangible and you know what things that you need to do. So if you want, let's say you wanna do $5,000 a month in freelance writing.

00:00 - 00:00 Rob Dial

Okay, well then I need to find 10 clients that are gonna be paying me $500 a month each. So if that's the case, I need to send five pitches per day on Upwork and Fiverr or cold emails or through LinkedIn. And I'm going to work on improving my skills daily through this online course and through practicing my writing three hours a day.

00:00 - 00:00 Rob Dial

And that's what you really start to do by breaking it down and actually starting to get clear. And one thing I want you to do is I want you to stop lying to yourself as a part of this, as a part of changing your entire life and changing everything.

00:00 - 00:00 Rob Dial

I want you to know that there's a pretty good chance that deep down inside of you, you already know what you want and you already know what you need to do to get the life that you see in six months. And so the problem a lot of times isn't knowledge.
