Your Self Talk Drives Your Emotions Which Drive Your Actions

In this episode John and Kelly talk about the impact of self talk.  John recently got back from visiting in person with the mental coach for the USC football team. His name is Tim Kight. He’s probably the top sports psychologist in the country. In our last episode John explained one of Tim Kight’s concepts. That an event happens, then there’s a four step process. First you focus on the event, or a part of the event. Then self talk is generated. Then emotion is felt. And then an action is taken. John shares a recent situation where he saw the four components play out in his life. Then Kelly talks about when she turned 50. And how that event generated self talk, which then generated emotions which then generated action. Understanding this formula is so beneficial as things happen in life. It also shows the power of the proper self talk and how you can refine self talk. As this podcast winds up, John and Kelly both talked about how things work out for the best in life. Sometimes your disappointed with things. You want a certain outcome and it doesn’t happen. But both John and Kelly have discovered over time that things tend to work out for the best. You may not understand it at the moment, but there seems to be a guiding force in life that makes things work out for the best. About the Hosts:John MitchellJohn’s story is pretty amazing. After spending 20 years as an entrepreneur, John was 50 years old but wasn’t as successful as he thought he should be. To rectify that, he decided to find the “top book in the world” on SUCCESS and apply that book literally Word for Word to his life. That Book is Think & Grow Rich. The book says there’s a SECRET for success, but the author only gives you half the secret. John figured out the full secret and a 12 minute a day technique to apply it.When John applied his 12 minute a day technique to his life, he saw his yearly income go to over $5 million a year, after 20 years of $200k - 300k per year. The 25 times increase happened because John LEVERAGED himself by applying science to his life.His daily technique works because it focuses you ONLY on what moves the needle, triples your discipline, and consistently generates new business ideas every week. This happens because of 3 key aspects of the leveraging process.John’s technique was profiled on the cover of Time Magazine. He teaches it at the University of Texas’ McCombs School of Business, which is one the TOP 5 business schools in the country. He is also the “mental coach” for the head athletic coaches at the University of Texas as well.Reach out to John at john@thinkitbeit.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jo....hn-mitchell-76483654 HatfieldKelly Hatfield is an entrepreneur at heart.
