In this episode, Mike returns to the heartbeat of Inner Wealth — the Creation Process. He walks through the three energetic pillars of manifestation (clarity, certainty, and commitment), and how these apply to every part of life: business, relationships, money, health, and purpose. This is more than a teaching — it’s an invitation to shift from passive wishing to full-body embodiment, and it’s the exact framework that drives transformation inside the Choose Your Destiny Live Intensive.

Key Takeaways

  1. Clarity Is Power — Most People Just Don’t Know What They Want
    Until you can name it, you’ll keep defaulting to what’s familiar or convenient.
  2. Certainty Is a Nervous System Frequency, Not a Thought
    You must feel it in your body, not just hope for it in your mind.
  3. Commitment Means Embodiment, Not Effort
    You don’t get what you want by force — you get it by becoming a match for it and letting it in.
  4. Resistance Lives in the Body — and It Must Be Cleared
    Meditation, shadow work, and somatic tools remove the blocks to receiving.
  5. When Clarity and Certainty Align, Life Delivers With Ease
    It's not magic — it’s alignment. And the process works every single time.

Notable Quotes

  • “The reason that most people don't have what they want is because they don't know what they want.”
  • “Certainty is a feeling in your body. It's a belief, it's a knowing, it's an expectation that the level of clarity will show up.”
  • “Impatience is fear. Wherever you're impatient, it's because there's some level of insecurity, inadequacy, or insignificance inside of you.”
  • “Commitment is more about receiving than it is creating. It's in receiving more than it is struggling to get it.”
  • “In order to get what you want, you need to expect it.”

SPEAKER_00 (00:04):
Do you ever wake up feeling like there's something
missing in your life?
Do you ever feel the need toescape your business?
Are you running your life or isyour life running you?
I'm like killing when I'mhelping design and create a life
so authentic and aligned withwho you really are.
You'll get excited just to wakeup.
I'll help you create realwealth, success, and freedom
from the inside out.
Welcome to the Inner WealthPodcast, where we learn and

(00:27):
choose to live inspired each andevery day.
With the next Choose YourDestiny live intensive workshop
coming up on November 14th and15th in uh in my current
hometown of St.

(00:47):
Charles, Missouri, which is justoutside of St.
Louis.
So, you know, sometimes, and I'mI'm from Baltimore, but my my
wife is from Alexandria,Virginia.
And sometimes instead of sayingAlexandria, Virginia, she just
says Washington, D.C.
And people, you know, obviouslyunderstand that.
And it's a lot easier to, youknow, to pin pinpoint on a map.

(01:08):
So when when some when somepeople ask where I live, I say
St.
Louis.
But in all actuality, I live ina little town, a little county.
Well, not little, it's that'sactually a big county, um, north
of St.
Louis called St.
Charles, Missouri.
And it's a beautiful, beautifulplace.
When we moved here, uh, and Ilive in a little area called
Orchard Farm.
And uh when we moved here, itwas there was corn everywhere

(01:32):
and little Midwest corn town,and now it's really evolving
into something uh a lot of a lotof suburbia, a lot of uh a lot
of sprawl, uh, but it is aneconomic powerhouse.
St.
St.
Charles County is becoming aneconomic powerhouse, and we
love, although we love the cornand we love being in that farm

(01:52):
town, we we do love being partof a uh part of an awesome and
growing community of people.
So high quality, high, highearning people.
It's it's a it's a good place tobe.
Anyway, we're gonna have thenext Choose Your Destiny Live
Intensive in St.
Charles, Missouri.
And in the in the workshop, Iteach about uh the creation

(02:17):
process.
And you know, in in the past, Iused to say you can have
anything you want in in theworld.
And you know what?
Uh, I did uh maybe an episode ortwo ago.
I said, you know what, I've beenlying to you.
You can't have anything that youwant in the world, you can have
anything that you expect, youget anything that you expect.
And what I mean by that is youmight want something but not

(02:39):
expect it, so it's not gonnahappen.
You you might want something andexpect it and you'll receive it.
So, and then what I alsounderstood is the level of your
expectation is actually thelevel of what you feel you
deserve.
So if you feel you deserve alittle, you'll expect a little.
If you feel you deserve a lot,you'll expect a lot.

(03:00):
Just like in corporate America,we used to say, when I when we
expect a little of ouremployees, we'll get it.
When we expect a lot of ouremployees, we'll get it.
Either way, they're gonna meetour expectations.
So the creation process is verysimple, but it's not always
easy.
And I'm gonna revisit it.
I'm gonna talk to you about thisbecause what what I what I love

(03:21):
is I love to help people stepinto a higher quality of life
and a higher quality of internaland external freedom.
And when we launched ourbusiness, Inner Wealth Global,
we have three three missions athand, or actually three goals
and three outcomes that we worktowards in every training, in

(03:44):
every container, in everypodcast, in every book, in every
blog, in every thing, everyemail, and three things.
Number one is to lessen the gripof fear and anxiety that it has
over us.
And as we quiet the noise andquiet the control and the
assertion that that fear andanxiety has over us, then we can

(04:07):
we can start to live biggerlives and we can start to live
more free, more internally freelives.
Number two is to connect to adeeper, connect deeper in our
own unique design and purpose.
Everybody, there you're not ayou're not a coincidence, you're
not a mistake.
You are an absolute walking,talking, breathing miracle.
You were designed on for apurpose, you are designed on

(04:30):
purpose, you are unique.
You have a design that containsthe seeds of your desires, that
contains the seeds of yourtalents, and also that can
contains the seeds of of yourgoals and your ambitions.
And when these three things arealigned, your your truest
desires, your most beautiful andnatural talents, you will

(04:54):
achieve the purpose and thegoals that you set out to
achieve by putting on a meatsuit.
And you will experience yourlife by design.
And we work with everyone in ourin our containers to try to help
understand that, right?
Uh, and I've had episodes aboutsoul sciences and icky, and it's

(05:16):
all so that we can understandthat we're built uniquely.
So to live it a life that lookslike anybody else or that
mirrors anybody else is doingourselves a great disservice,
and we're gonna meet with a lotof resistance, and and we're
gonna be going against the flowof life.
Number three, number three,outcome is to expand every

circumstance in life (05:35):
health, wealth, success, financial gain,
love, all of it to increase thelevel of all of our
circumstances and our overallquality of life.
So less in fear, less in thegrip of fear and anxiety, step
into our deeper into our designand purpose.
And number three is to expandour circumstances.

(05:56):
And the creation process helpsyou, it helps you understand how
to expand circumstances.
And it what the reason I laidout those priorities the way I
did, lessen fear and anxiety,uh, step into your design and
your purpose and expandcircumstances because when
number one and two are met,number three is a whole lot

(06:19):
easier.
A whole lot easier.
So the creation process is verysimple but not easy.
And this is what I teach in inthe in the workshop.
And then then I start to lay inand layer in things that you
know that are going to uh thatare going to support the
creation process.
And the creation process, I callalso call them the three C's,
clarity, certainty, andcommitment.

(06:41):
And hopefully, if you've beenlistening to this podcast long
enough or enough episodes,you've heard those three over
and over and over, and hopefullyyou can regurgitate them.
Clarity, certainty, andcommitment.
I'm gonna go over each one andI'm gonna unlock and unpack.
And then at the end of thispodcast, I'm gonna, if if it

(07:02):
sounds good, I'm gonna inviteyou into uh the Choose Your
Destiny Live Intensive.
Got it, got some seats left.
So it's not a it's not a hugecontainer.
It's not a I cap it at around 30people.
I like to keep up, we have it ina smaller room.
There's 30 people there.
We my team is there, my me, mywife, our operations uh

(07:22):
assistant.
We've got some of our mastermindstudents there, but it's a small
container, it's powerful, and wetalk about the creation process
for two full days.
All right.
I'm gonna unpack each of theseand tell you why they're
important and what role theyplay in creation.
Number one is clarity.
Very, very simple.
The the the reason that mostpeople don't have what they want

(07:44):
is because they don't know whatthey want, they haven't
connected to it, they haven't,they haven't set an intention,
they haven't understood thatinfinite possibilities exist and
they can have so many otheroptions in their lives that
they're not exploring becausethey haven't taken time to

(08:04):
really understand what's whatthey want, the their authentic
day, their authentic vocation,their authentic quality of life.
They haven't taken time to say,what do I really, really want?
And a lot of people are settlingfor what's coming at them, and

(08:27):
not truly setting an intentionfor a life that fits them, that
feels good for them, thatenvelops them in love and in
freedom.
And when Angie and I, my wifeAngie and I lived like that, all
we were doing is it felt like wewere just a flag in a wind.
We just went wherever the windblew.

(08:48):
And like life took us placesthat they were dark and they
would they weren't aligned forus, and they weren't, they
didn't feel good.
And I woke up every day and Ihated going to work and I hated
my job.
And I I we Angie and I had amiserable, miserable family
experience, and our house wascombative and there was no
peace, and there was there wasjust no happiness inside of the

(09:11):
the walls of our house becausewe were just settling for
whatever life threw at us, andwe didn't understand that we
could set an intention and wecan set a course to to see and
experience life differently.
And when we when we sat downnine years ago, coming up on 10

(09:32):
years, when we sat down uh nineyears ago and really got clear
about the life that we want tolive, then we started receiving
it and it started it startedshowing up for us, and
breadcrumbs started taking us inthat direction, and life
unfolded in a beautiful,beautiful way.
And that's the power of clarityis that when you have clarity,

(09:54):
you open up the opportunity forthat, whatever you're clear
about, for it to show up.
And if you're not clear, youcan't have it.
And the reason that most peopledon't have what they want is
because they don't know whatthey want.
So that's number one, clarity.
All right, everybody knows whatthey don't want, but very, very

(10:14):
few people know exactly whatthey want.
I want a I want a completecontrol of my calendar.
I want complete control of mytime, I want complete autonomy
in my life.
I want to say yes when I want tosay yes, I want to say no when I
want to say no.
I want no obligations that drainmy energy.
I only want things on mycalendar that I draw energy and

(10:37):
I don't want a busy calendar andI don't want a busy life.
I love freedom.
So that's why I built themastermind instead of having a
whole lot of one-on-one clients,because I can have high impact
in a very, very small amount oftime and I can control the rest
of my life.
That's that feels good for mebecause I love having time

(10:58):
freedom.
And we make good money, reallygood money comparatively, by
understanding what we want toserve, how we want to serve, and
what we want to deliver into theworld.
All right.

(11:23):
Clarity.
Clarity is step one.
Without that, none of the restof it works.
Number two, certainty.
Now, some people I I like I likethe word certainty because it
feels more like it feels moreintense, and I'm an intense guy,
and my energy is intense.
And come spend some time withme, hit the choose your destiny
live intense, and you're gonnafeel my energy because the it

(11:46):
certainty is an intense word,and I love intensity.
I I don't I don't love playingsmall, and I don't love just you
know, just uh using using softwords and weak words.
I love using really strong,intense, powerful, firm words,
and certainty fits that bill.

(12:06):
Some people call it faith, somepeople like talk about trust.
To me, certainty just soundssounds intense.
And certainty is a feeling inyour body.
That's what certainty is.
It's it's a belief, it's a it'sa knowing, it's the it's an

(12:28):
expectation that the the levelof clarity, whatever you got
clear about, will show up.
It's not an if.
Now there's a process, andthere's you know, I lead
meditation in the in the TutraDestiny live intensive.
First, I'll lead some meditationto get start to get clear about

(12:50):
what you want, but I also leadmeditation to help you
understand how to let go of anyand all worry, doubt, and fear
as it arises.
And as you let go of whateverworry, doubt, fear arises,
because all those are are it'snoise trapped in your nervous
system.
And by getting clear and gettingcertain, you get to start

(13:13):
letting go of the noise in yournervous system that would that
create resistance, first of all,but that convince you that you
can have or you won't have whatyou want.
And and this is this increasesthe level of expectation as you
let go of of the uh of theuncertainty, of the worry, of

(13:34):
the doubt, of the fear, of theanxiety, of those stories, of
those beliefs in you that sayit's not available, you can't
have it.
What if it doesn't happen?
You're not good enough, it's notavailable, you're not worthy to
receive it, and all of thatnoise is built into your nervous
system.
And we must rebuild your nervoussystem so that as we let go of

(13:58):
all of that noise, a level ofcertainty starts to set in, and
then you're clear and certain,and it's no longer an if it
shows up.
You get to realize that whateveryou get clear about, whatever
you can have, infinitepossibilities, and there's

(14:19):
there's a certain life that youthat your soul came here to
experience, and the creationprocess can unlock that for you
through you certainty.
I know for many years, likethere was a for me, and and I
still see it, I still it stillcreeps in, and again, release

(14:42):
techniques and meditation andshadow work and clearing out the
emotional clutter that's that'sin the nervous system, clearing
out this these this thesepattern interrupts that are in
my body, in the nervous system,it it it shifts the entire
entire experience that I have ininside of me, inside of my body,

(15:08):
inside of my mind, about theavailability and the probability
of what I want.
And it shifts it from possibleor impossible to probable to
certain as you do the work.
Clarity and certainty.

(15:33):
And the one that's been on myradar and on my heart, the last
few days I've beencontemplating, the last one is
commitment.
And commitment's a little alittle more complex than clarity
and certainty.
And it in a in a a lot of a lotof ways, certainty or uh
commitment has been my favorite,but my most challenging.

(15:56):
All right.
Number one is to take someinspired action, right?
Energy energy moves in thisworld, and energy as when energy
moves, then circumstancesrearrange themselves.
Okay, so energy moves, but youdon't need this aggressive,

(16:20):
massive, life-sucking,energy-sucking, destructive,
stress-filled action in theworld.
Need some inspired action.
Find, you know, you if if youget clear about exactly what it
is your soul came here toexperience, if you use your
authentic talents and gifts, theobject of your desire, your

(16:42):
clarity will will appear.
It will create it will becreated.
It will people use the wordmanifest, it will it will
materialize.
I am I I am an absolute exampleof that.
The life that I'm living rightnow is 180 from the life that I

(17:03):
was living before.
And the inspired action when Igot clear, and as I became
certain about the availabilityof this life for me in my body,

(17:26):
not just in the world, but in mybody, because if there's a lot
of worry, doubt, and fear,likelihood, the likelihood is
it's not going to show up.
You're fighting againstyourself, like you're fighting
against your nervous system.
And commitment, the first stepin commitment is is taking
inspired action.
The second is patience.

(17:46):
If you give up then and youredirect your clarity or you
re-edit your clarity, thenyou're starting to process over
again.
This requires patience.
The what is your responsibility,but the when is not.

(18:08):
And there's a there's if there'suh some type of in in some
cases, especially in theentrepreneurial world, there's
some instances where impatienceis rewarded, impatience is
glorified, and impatience isbased on fear.
That's all it is.
Impatience is fear.
Wherever you're impatient, it'sbecause there's some level of

(18:31):
insecurity, inadequacy, orinsignificance inside of you
that's trying to get somewhereto relieve those things.
Inspired action, followed bypatience.
And like I said, the what isyour responsibility, the when is
not, but neither is the how.

(18:54):
And this is the one that'stricked me up the most.
The how is not up to you.
Now when I've gotten these, andwe have Angie and I have had
some massive things appear inour life that were completely in
alignment with exactly what wewanted and exactly what we were

(19:17):
clear about.
For instance, when we were inMaryland, when we lived in
Maryland with our our thencouple month-old daughter, we
got really clear that we wantedto move outside of Maryland and
get away from the family.
And a couple days later, I wentinto to work.
I worked in a remote uhsatellite uh operation for our
our um company in based inBeaverton, Oregon.

(19:41):
And a couple days later, we wentin and they said they were
closing that that that operatingsystem uh operating site and
asking for a couple of us tomove to Oregon.
And they actually asked five ofus, and three of us went.
And that I did nothing to causethat.
I didn't even ask.
They asked me to move.
And then when we were in Oregon,and we Angie decided she didn't

(20:04):
want to live in Oregon for therest of her life, and our
daughters were getting ready togo into middle school.
She says, Hey, I wanna I don'twant to live in Oregon for the
rest of my life.
Uh and our girls are gettingready to work, our older
daughter's getting ready to gointo middle school.
If we're gonna move, we need tomove soon before they go into
middle school.
And my phones in my officestarted literally, uh, seemed

(20:27):
like out of nowhere, startedlighting up with recruiters
calling me to offer meopportunities.
And we traveled all over thecountry to interview and we
chose St.
Louis, Missouri, and that's whatbrought us here.
Both of these moves were easy,paid for by the company.
They took care of us, rolled outthe red carpet.
It was awesome.
And these were easy andeffortless, and we we absolutely

(20:49):
did never stressed over eitherof these moves.
They were awesome.
Things like this have happenedso often to us when we just get
clear about what we want, andthen just like it's almost like
backing off, applying noresistance, right?
The certainty, the certaintymeans there's no resistance in

(21:12):
the process.
But the the reason I'm unpackingthis story, these stories, is
because with commitment, thelast step is receiving, and how
it shows up is not yourbusiness.
It's none of your business.
It's your job to get clear aboutwhat you want, to let go of any

(21:35):
worried, doubt, and fear,anxiety, panic, any of this
stuff inside of you that saysyou can't have it or that it
won't show up.
Take some inspired action, bepatient, and then when it shows
up, not if it shows up, when itshows up, take delivery, take
receipt.
And sometimes the scariest thingis taking receipt because the

(22:00):
things that we have wanted andthat we've attained and that
we've connected with and thatshowed up in our lives easily
that aligned with our desires,they they almost came out of
nowhere and like they it wasalmost like a magical
experience.
It's almost scary how easy somethings show up for us, but then
when we try to apply force, thenwhen we try to make shit happen,

(22:22):
then when we try to will our wayto get what we want, we always
apply resistance and we struggleto actually attain the the what
we're trying to be, what we'reclear about, because we're
adding resistance to the mix.
And it's the removal ofresistance from inside of your

(22:43):
body, from inside of your mind.
It's the removal of resistanceand the allowing that allows it
to show up.
And my good friend BrianSchroeder, when I when I shared
the creation process with himone time, and we were talking
through, and you know, we weretalking through the creation
process and clarity, certainty,and commitment.
And when I got to commitment andI talked about action, he said,

(23:04):
Mike, you're talking aboutaction too much.
Commitment is more aboutreceiving than it is creating,
it's about receiving more thanit is doing, it's in receiving
more than it is struggling toget it.
If you struggle to get it, youare adding resistance, you are

(23:28):
not helping it along.
In order to get what you want,you need to expect it.
And inside of the creationprocess, get clear about what
you want, get certain in yourbody, in your heart, and in your
body, feel it in your soul, andthen remain committed to the

(23:48):
process.
And when it shows up, receiveit.
And today, the reason I wascontemplating and interacting
with commitment, because I I'vegot I've set a new intention for
the next evolution of thebusiness, and I'm keeping this
one to myself.
I've got an evolution, I've gota new level of clarity for an

(24:11):
evolution of my business.
And today I felt my energy, myinternal energy, shift from that
clarity to a little bit of to alittle bit of maybe doubt.
And when I felt that, I startedto sit with that doubt.
And then as I started workingthe process again, I recommitted

(24:36):
to to the commitment.
I recommitted to the claritythat I had, and I let go of all
the resistance until my body waslocked back in on what I wanted
instead of what I didn't want.
My body was locked back in.
I felt it.
And if you've ever heard of orfollowed Abraham Hicks, she

(25:00):
calls this the receptive mode.
When your body is locked in andriding the same level frequency
and in tune with the object ofyour clarity, then you are in
receptive mode.
You are you are waitingpatiently for it to show up with

(25:24):
a certainty that you know itwill show up.
And this is a state inside ofyou.
Commitment is a state inside ofyou that I'm gonna lock in on
this thing.
And whenever the emotion startsto shift to something else, it's
letting go of that resistance,letting go of that uncertainty,
and shifting back intocommitment where you're

(25:46):
embodying.
I didn't understand that wordfor a long time, but you're
embodying your new circumstanceand it feels like you're already
living in them.
And that is commitment.
Guys, I hope this has beenhelpful.
