In this episode of The Missing Secret Podcast, John and Kelly discuss the concept of working smarter not harder. Kelly is a great example of doing this. Recently she went to one of her competitors in the recruiting space. That is more successful than she is. Visited their offices with a couple of her team members. They learned so much. Now they’re in the process of implementing what they learned in their own business. Now that is working smarter not harder.

John then talks about the difference in his life of working smarter in his 50s versus working harder in his 30s and 40s. What a difference. In his 50s he was highly organized with a system where he planned his day the night before, time blocked his days, and identified his top three priorities. Then he was deep thinking two times a week. Thirdly he was growing and growing strategically every week relative to what you want to accomplish. And lastly he understood how the human mind works. And it gave him immense control over his life. None of that was happening in his 30s and 40s. And that’s why he was able to 25X his income in his 50s over what he had made in his 30s and 40s.

Today most people don’t really think that deeply about the concept of working smarter. And when people talk about it, they’re not really specific about it. Well it’s simple. Be highly organized, be deep thinking two times a week. Be growing with a system, and understand how the human mind works. And appreciate the profound ramifications of 95% of your daily thoughts and actions being unconscious. You have to gain control over those unconscious daily actions. Otherwise you’re playing the game of life at 5% your potential.

About the Hosts:

John Mitchell

John’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.
