Today’s Audio MASTERCLASS: How Looking Inward is the Key to Unlocking True Entrepreneurial Freedom

[1:06] – Gino shares something that he believes about becoming successful that most people disagree with.

You can take 150 days off per year, including the entire month of August for 20 years while building the business of your dreams.

[1:50] – The three discoveries to free your true self.

It is possible to be driven and have peace. It’s not a choice.
The first discovery is ‘I am driven’. Discover, admit, realize, own the fact that you are driven. The dark side is that we tend to do a lot of damage to ourselves mentally, physically and emotionally, as well as to the relationships in our life.

[5:40] – Discovery #2 in freeing your true self.

Understand that all decisions are made out of love or fear. Decisions can also incorporate emotions, thoughts, and feelings.
Understanding love in its simplest form is coming from our heart, or our soul, or our true self. Fear is coming from our ego.
When we’re not shining bright and we’re not vibrating high, it just simply means that we are blocked, that the cocoon is very strong. It’s just simply the protective shell we created somewhere in our life to protect us from ever feeling pain and trauma again.
It just comes down to awareness. Be aware of all of your decisions, your thoughts, your emotions, your feelings and where they’re coming from.

[8:19] – Discovery #3 in freeing your true self.

Peace scares us just from a standpoint of we think that finding peace, contentment, bliss. We fear that peace is going to zap us of our drive, that somehow we’re going to lose our edge.
Our drive is increased when you find that peace. When you shed that cocoon, when you shed that layer, when you shed those protective ego layers and you shine, your drive is actually magnified.

[13:45] – The 10 disciplines.

There’s an opportunity for you to feel peace in that inner world.
These 10 disciplines are the foundation. They’re the opportunity for you to create space and time in your life to do this work. When these 10 disciplines are implemented in your life, you will not only maximize and master your outer world even more, it’s going to help you master your inner world and find peace.
Discipline #1 is 10-year thinking discipline, #2 is take time off, #3 is know thyself, #4 is be still, #5 is know your 100%, #6 Say no…often, #7 don’t do $25.00/hour work, #8 prepare every night, #9 put everything in one place, and #10 be humble.

[16:27] – The 10-year thinking.

Shift your mind from short-term thinking to thinking in 10-year time frames.
You will feel a calm come over you, you will have more clarity, you will make better decisions, and you will literally get there faster.
Shift your thinking so that all of your decisions are 10-year decisions.

[18:00] – Knowing your 100%

Knowing your 100% is your work container. Decide on and commit to the perfect number of hours per week and weeks per year that you will deliver your craft to the world.
There is literally a formula that if you work one more hour per week, you will start to burn out. And if you work one less hour per week, you will start to get bored. It’s about figuring out your perfect formula.

[19:53] – Preparing every night.

Before your head hits the pillow every night, document the next day’s plan. Lay out tomorrow in chronological order.
The power of this is that you will sleep better. You will wake up with ideas because your subconscious is already working, and you will wake up and hit the ground running. You will be more productive.

[21:52] – Being humble.

View yourself as an equal to every person on the planet. Being humble is not thinking less of yourself, it’s thinking of yourself less.
The definition of humble and the definition of arrogant are almost identical. They are the estimate of your importance in comparison to others, and so it’s how important you feel in comparison to others.
Humble people attract lots of other humble people and arrogant people just tend to attract lots of arrogant people.
