Well, you've covered some pretty powerful information. There's something I learned that I want to share with you. It said, no amount of reading or memorizing is going to make a person successful in life.
It's their understanding and application of wise thoughts that count. I would imagine, as we went through all these various principles, these ideas, that your intellect agreed with everything, but that doesn't mean that you're going to do it. And if you don't act on it, it'll change nothing in your life.
It'll just be some information that you're going to wander around with, but it'll be pretty well useless. The information has been here all along. This information can be used by anyone, anywhere.
Age, gender, really doesn't matter. And I became acutely aware of this here, I don't know, two or three years ago, I guess. I was doing a lot of work for a company that had a few thousand millennials in the company.
And I'd be speaking, sharing many of these ideas at one of their big conventions or a big regional meeting. And I would hear all these young millennials in the audience yell, we love you, Bobby p. At first, I was wondering, what's this all about? We love you, Bobby p.
And I was to find out later on they just loved the ideas that I was sharing with them. So I started to analyze it, and my mind went back to the time I was out of school. I was 16, and I was rejecting everything.
I was just a kid that didn't want to fall in line. I didn't want to pay attention to what was going on. I didn't want to follow anybody's advice, and it cost me dearly.
For the next ten years, I worked at dumb jobs. I couldn't hold a job until I was 26. And that's when a man gave me this book.
It's napoleon hills principles of success. And he said, if you do exactly what I tell you and follow the information in this book, you can give anything you want. Well, my mind went back to then and the change that took place in my life.
And then it come to these young millennials again. We love you, Bobby p. See, they were rejecting life much the same as I was, but they were rejecting it for a good, sound reason.
They found out the rules we were being taught didn't work. They found out that they would go to school, invest all kinds of money in an education, and when they'd leave, that degree was not a ticket to la la land. It gave them nothing.
They still had to go out and perform. And another thing we want to keep in mind we are programmed to go against the rules that are really laid down by Napoleon hill. We're programmed to go against them.
Now, I really want you to think about what you've been listening to. The millennials are rejecting the information because they found out the rules don't work. And so they're out trying to figure out how to make it work.
And when they heard me bring in Napoleon Hills principles, the laws of success like that, they went for it. They liked it because it was more in harmony with their way of thinking, the entrepreneurial way of thinking. So keep thinking about this.
If you really want to win, you've got to internalize what you're watching into the subject of mind, the subconscious mind. You see, the part of us that agrees with all this is our intellect. And we listen and we analyze it and we say, yeah, that makes sense.
But it's not our intellect that's controlling our behavior. And one of the problems with school, they give you all this general knowledge. You've got it all.
You passed the exams, you got the degree. But that's not the part of your mind that controls your behavior. And our subconscious mind is programmed genetically and then environmentally.
Take a look at your behavior. Take a look at your results. The results aren't what you want.
The results would indicate you don't know much, and yet your degrees indicate you do know quite a bit. See, the part of the mind that gathers the information, that knows quite a bit is not the part that controls the behavior of this thing. We're living in our body, and it's our behavior that determines our results.
Think about it. It's called a paradigm. That's the conditioning.
That's the program in the subject of mind. It's genetic. That's why you look like your relatives.
And then it's environmental. It's the programming received in our little life. And then went on to school and the program continued.
And you see the millennials get out of school and they started to reject the way because they were thinking. I was rejecting it because I wasn't thinking. I would have rejected everything.
The millennials and myself at a certain age fell into the same category. I rejected for the wrong reason. They're rejecting for the right reason.
But we're rejecting this idea that you get a job at a big company and you keep your nose to the grindstone, everything's going to come out roses. That's not true. You might be in a company a very short period of time.
If you're really applying yourself, using these principles of success that Napoleon Hill talked about like that, you're going to go ahead. Good things are going to start to happen. You see, this is the result of an entire lifetime of research by a very, very good reporter.
He studied some of the most successful people alive. He was being mentored by a man that was the wealthiest man in the world at that time. These ideas apply today the same as they did over 100 years or 2000 years ago.
Hill's principles of success are an absolute perfect track to whatever you want. The man that gave me the book, he said, bob do exactly what I'm suggesting until you find out I'm lying or I don't know what I'm talking about. Well, I'm going to tell you something.
I have a company today that operates all over the world. I earn millions of dollars a year. I work with some of the most fascinating people alive, and I travel all over the world.
I'm probably older than most millennials grandparents, but I've got as much energy as the millennial. Why is that? Why is it the same idea applies to me, applies to the 30 year old that's out there really ready to make things cook? Because we're dealing with absolute laws that have nothing to do with age, gender, conditions, circumstance. None of those things matter.
What matters is, what do you think? Where are you going? What rules are you following? Because they're all here. You've got them all. You've just looked at them.
Use them. Now understand this. Your paradigm is your habitual way of living.
Your paradigm is a multitude of ideas that control almost all of your habitual behavior. And almost all of your behavior is habitual. It is not going to be easy to execute these principles, but the reward is astronomical.
It wasn't easy for me to follow this when I was 26. I was going that way, and all of a sudden, I started to go that way. But you know something? My income went from $4,000 a year to $15,000 a month in one year.
Then it went over a million. I honestly believe I can show anyone how to do anything. Because it doesn't matter what the objective is.
If you're following the laws, if you're following the principles as Napoleon Hills laid them down after a lifetime of research, you're going to win. But you've got to turn these principles into habits. It isn't going to happen by accident.
It's going to happen by design, and it's going to happen by decision. Go back and review decision. Review it.
We said the only prerequisite to making a decision to do something is, do you want to. It isn't, do you have the money? It isn't, do you have the help? It isn't, do you have the information? None of that matters. It's, do you want to? And if you say, yes, I want to do this, and you make a decision to do it, you will flip your brain under the frequency it has to be on to attract whatever you need to do whatever you want to do.
Napoleon Hill had an innate awareness of that. After a lifetime of studying with the wealthiest and the wisest in the world, it's all in the principles of success. You've got them.
I don't care how old you are. I don't care if you're male or female. I don't care what you've done in the past.
You see, I know my past was terrible. Useless. Just useless.
And like that, it all changed when I did exactly what Ray Stanford told me. Do what's in the book. Do exactly what I tell you and you can have anything you want.
Sounds like a gross exaggeration. I'm going to tell you something. It's those principles and laws that put us on the moon.
It's those principles and laws that took Apple to where they are the largest company in the world. I'm recording this. How did that happen? Didn't happen by accident.
Happens by law. We said, there's an intelligence that turns an acorn into an oak tree. Well, I'm going to tell you something.
There's an intelligence that'll turn you into whatever you want to be if you subject yourself and discipline yourself that live by these principles. They work every time for every person. You make these ideas a part of your way of thinking, a part of your way of life.
And I guarantee you, life is going to be phenomenal. I've truly enjoyed doing this. It's been a real work of love.
I've been studying hill's material all my adult life. 57 years. Every day.
He said, read the book every day. Fortunately, I did. And I'm still reading it every day.
The book has fallen apart. It's literally falling apart. Look at pages are coming out of it.
But you know something? The ideas are still in it. And the ideas are in here. Make sure you take them and internalize them.
Turn them into your way of thinking, your way of life. And I guarantee you life is going to be everything that God intended it to be. It's going to be phenomenal.
I would remind you that life is a checkerboard and the player opposite you is time. If you hesitate before moving or neglect to move promptly, your men will be wiped off the board by time. You're playing against a partner who will not tolerate indecision.
Learn to make the passage of time an ally, a supportive teammate that is encouraging you, cheering you on. Choose to see time and the way it frames all of our lives as a motivator, a trusted companion. Previously, you may have had a logical excuse for not having forced life to come through with whatever you asked.
But that alibi is now obsolete because you are in possession of the knowledge that unlocks the door to life's bountiful riches.
