Interview Insights Top 3 Takeaways We do better when we live in what we’re thinking instead of living in our circumstances. Therefore, let’s control the content of our thinking so that we’re not exaggerating situations. Making mountains out of molehills creates fear, anxiety, and other negative emotions that if they grip us will cause us to make bad decisions. Work effortlessly, and that means without the tightness, the struggle, and the constant pressure. We can do more when we are in the flow state and aligning ourselves at the speed of life. Never re-establish or rebuild your business with discouragement as a foundation. Defeat this negative emotion before making business decisions. Read the Show Notes from this Episode "If we love what we do, it's going to improve. If we don't, that's probably not what we should be doing"- Michael shared this valuable lesson he learned from his father.

After venting his frustration to Michael, Bob could calm down, take a step back, and remember how he could run his business successfully for many years. Now Bob is 6 million dollars richer and running a business he loves. [10:35] Dr. George Pransky, Michael's former mentor, likened how our mind works to that of a race car. But instead of revolution per minute, the mind is measured per TPM- Thought Per Minute. [13:48] Moving towards the flow state. Michael talks about the 'seemingly effortless' way of doing things. [17:46] Introducing the new normal has not been a pleasant ride for many people. Michael shares his observations on why some thrived when many failed and the qualities these people possess. [18:32] CASE 3: Fred was a CEO who had all stacks against him when the lockdowns were implemented. Owning bars, music venues, and restaurants, he belongs to the industry that was hit the most by this. But Fred did not re-establish his business with discouragement as a baseline. While the lockdown was not the best for him, he managed a sustainable burn rate. [20:47] The Las Vegas gambling metaphor and how people can tap into their sense of power and ease with their business.
