This week's question from my portal “The Neagle Code: Directions for Life” comes from someone who wishes to remain anonymous. 

Hi David,

I’ve heard you say that there is no time. What does that mean exactly, and how does time tie into the big picture in massive goal setting?

Fantastic question! I know this can be a confusing concept.

We all have the same amount of this illusion that we call time.

As human beings, we break time down into days. We have a 24-hour measuring system that we use, but what do we use time for?

We use it to manage our life.

You also cannot have time without space or space without time.

The moment you start to focus on time, like on your calendar or in setting your goal, you bring space into the picture.

The question is what are you going to fill the space with?

Northcote Parkinson has a law that says that work tends to fill the time allotted.

In other words, if we shorten the timeframe on almost any kind of work, we will get it done in a shorter timeframe than we originally thought that we could.

When I'm going to set a goal, I am going to pick a timeframe, but the question then is, “How do I know if that timeframe is correct?”

I don't.

If I don't reach the goal, I don’t change the goal. I only change the timeframe in which we're doing it.

One of the things that's important to understand is that things can happen much quicker than we think they can.

Think about how can we remove the time barrier and actually make something happen quicker.

Sometimes we can, sometimes we can't.

For thousands of years it took a certain amount of time to get from one place to the other because we couldn't fly, but once we understood how to do that, we certainly filled the time barrier from one place to another.

So, time is not set in stone as far as a measurement of what’s possible.

Time is really just a matter of perception.

This week's question from my portal “The Neagle Code: Directions for Life” comes from someone who wishes to remain anonymous. 

Hi David,

What are a few things that you would say encompass someone who has an elite entrepreneurial mind? In other words, what can I do to become an Elite Entrepreneur?

Great question!

When we boil everything down to the basics, there are 2 key things that are a part of EVERY elite entrepreneur’s life.

1. Always strive to better your best.

This means striving to always show up as a better version of yourself. And it also means that you learn from everything you do, so that you can constantly do better the next time.

When you better your best you're going to see what you're doing, what's working and what's not working. And you’ll constantly be asking the questions:

• How do we do it better next time?
• How can I respond better next time?
• How could I be a better leader next time?

2. Always do what you say you're going to do.

This means always being your word. It’s about commitment. If you break your word, you lose trust with yourself. If you lose trust with yourself, suddenly you suffer from a lack of confidence, which bleeds into everything you do.

Do not EVER say that you’re going to do something that you don’t intend to do.

And trust me this seems very simple on the surface, but I challenge you to really think about all the times you break your word to yourself on a daily basis. It’s so so harmful.

If you make these two things a habit, they will affect everything else. They will positively impact everything you do and anyone you work alongside.

This week's question from my portal “The Neagle Code: Directions for Life” comes from someone who wishes to remain anonymous. 

Hi David,

What do you do if you have a direct conflict with someone else in your life regarding your beliefs? I have heard you say in the past to be authentic to yourself regarding your beliefs as long as it doesn’t interfere with the choice and will of others on these things, but what if it interferes with them if I follow my beliefs and they choose to do something they believe?

Great question. Let me explain this a little more …

It is all about whether you interfere with their ability to choose, not their choice itself.

Our choice around our belief is independent of anybody else.

So, even if your choice was in direct opposition of their choice, you’re not taking away their ability to choose. They can still choose, but it may not be the same thing you are choosing.

Where this becomes a problem is when someone is averse to conflict.

I see this all the time with entrepreneurs.

They make a choice, that is not really what they would choose for themselves, because they are worried about how someone else (team, spouse, family) will FEEL if they actually chose what they wanted for themselves.

This, in turn, creates a great inner conflict, and they end up creating all kinds of chaos in their life and business.

As a business owner, you have a right to choose how you will run your business and your team has the choice to stay or go.

As a person you have the right to choose how you want to live, and your spouse or friends have the choice to stay or go. Now obviously I would hope that you would have open conversations about your individual desires prior to it getting to that point, but you can see what I mean.

You choosing your belief is not taking away anyone else’s right to choose for themselves.

And in fact, if you don’t own your beliefs and desires, you will end up in resistance to your own purpose. You’ll experience a profound value conflict that is causing your resistance to doing the things necessary to grow your business.

I’m doing an entire 60-minute FREE training on The Universal Law of Non-Resistance on Tuesday at 1pm ET. I’ll be explaining this more in-depth and giving some tips on how to quickly identify and move through resistance…there’s nothing worse than the inner tug of war caused by a value conflict!

This week's question from my portal “The Neagle Code: Directions for Life” comes from someone who wishes to remain anonymous. 

Hi David,

Does making a decision start with saying, “I'm making a decision,” or is it just a switch that you flip, and you just do it?

If a person is very solid in the decision-making process, they don't necessarily say, “I'm making a conscious decision to do this.” They know that they're doing it.

They're in a stage past the idea of not making a decision. When they see that a change needs to happen, they immediately see it, and they make that change.

To answer your question you must first identify what stage of decision making are you in?

Some of the stages of decision making include:

1.) Identifying you have a problem that needs to be changed or having a goal you want to accomplish.

2.) Next, you may do research and gather all the information you may need to make your decision. You then may weigh your options and evaluate the pros and cons of your potential decision.

And

3.) Finally, you make your choice, your decision and act on it.

Remember, some people may easily go through these stages without realizing they are checking off stage 1, 2, 3 etc. It happens naturally. As you said, they just “flip the switch”.  

For others, it is more of a conscious process, and they may say “I’m making a decision…”.

When you make a change in your life, you did make a decision, because you switched from one thing to another.

That's a decision.

This week's question from my portal “The Neagle Code: Directions for Life” comes from someone who wishes to remain anonymous. 

Hi David,

I have two questions. First, if you want to do something, and you're feeling some resistance behind it, do you recommend talking to somebody who has a different perspective and say, “What do you see as the opportunity, here?” Second, I'll get ideas, and then I'll just stop. I'll just do whatever it is tomorrow. One of the obstacles that I keep coming across is just managing the time.

GREAT questions!!

In short, the answer is yes, you can talk to someone, and ask them for help, but make sure you're talking to somebody that can actually help you see the opportunity.

If you're talking to somebody that's very much like yourself, you'll probably get terrible advice.

Talk to somebody that is either further ahead than you are or is optimistic enough in reality to give you some solid advice.

To answer your second question, you don't manage time. Nobody can manage time.

You manage activities.

Activities are managed based on the vision that you have for what you want to create. Once we create a vision for ourselves, the vision dictates everything that we do from that day on, right?

Determine how much time you’re giving to activities based on solid deadlines, and make adjustments to ensure you’re setting yourself up for success.

Stick to that. If you’re really serious, you stick to it. You commit to it.

That's how you build new habits.

This week's question from my portal “The Neagle Code: Directions for Life” comes from Mark. 

Hi David,

My father really abandoned the idea of wealth. His message was that money is not needed or the thing to work towards. What can I do to overcome that programming around money that's now in my subconscious? I really want to break through this.

Hi Mark and thanks for the great question!

You know, it's not about breaking through anything.

It's about you understanding why you feel a need to be obedient to your father's rule in life because that's what's controlling your results.

It's not uncommon because we're basically raised to be obedient to our parents.

Somewhere along the line, it became painful to do something different than how your father saw life.

He still has authority in your mind over the way he thinks life should be lived, and you're being obedient to that authority.

Once you understand WHY you feel the need to be obedient, you can push through to form and follow your own beliefs.

Ask yourself this: How is it serving you to stay obedient to your father’s beliefs? What do you hope to gain from being the obedient son?

This is your life. You can live it how YOU want to live it.

This week's question from my portal “The Neagle Code: Directions for Life” comes from someone who wishes to remain anonymous. 

Hi David,

My problem is when I make a sale, a big sale, I go back to helping people and stop selling. Each time I hang up the phone I think, “Oh my god, I forgot to do the sale.” How do I start making sales again and stop this pattern?

Thanks for the great question!

This is a very common phenomenon for small business owners.

You have a financial set point.

You're working to stay the same.

You're working to be safe.

Intellectually you want to make more money, but when you hit that upper level of your own safety, you stop.

You say to yourself, “I'll do it tomorrow or I'll do it next time.”

Then, you take your foot off the gas, and you only apply it again once you need to make more money.

It's a terrible pattern to be in.

And the only way to break through it is with consistency and commitment.

Determine how much money you want to make.

Then, it becomes a commitment to make those sales every week.

Calendar your sales activities and STICK TO IT!

You don't stop when you reach the amount of money that pays your bills. You keep going.

If you can stay disciplined, and keep your word by doing what you say you are going to do, this will change very quickly for you!

This week's question from my portal “The Neagle Code: Directions for Life” comes from Kim. 

Hi David,

I’ve always been searching for my purpose and desire. I've been doing family law for 14 years, now. I go back and forth between this love and hate relationship. Certain days, I find myself just very exhausted. I don't know if it's because it's not really my purpose or my desire for my life. I wonder if I’m self-sabotaging, and not doing the things I know I need to do to grow my business…

If you're not doing the things that you need to do to grow your business, it can become very mundane.

The human spirit really does not like doing the same thing repeatedly, because the human spirit's always for expansion.

We lose a bit of our creative energy whenever we are repeating things that are the same for too long. It loses its newness, its freshness. It loses the exploration, the challenge.

Those things bring about the creative energy.

If you're constantly moving into problem solving in your business all the time, and it's the same problem, over and over again, yeah, it's going to make you have a love/hate relationship with it.

You might love the core of the business, but you're tired of dealing with the same things over and over again.

I think the idea is to really be honest with yourself about what is it in the business that you're starting to hate? What is the specific thing?

Be really honest about that.

You need to ask what you DO want to do.

Let's not talk about what you don't want. What do you want?

What’s something you're enthusiastic about?

It’s common to develop your business in a way where there's a certain amount of safety and a certain amount of certainty. It’s common to get into the groove of safety and not want to start all over again.

Then, we get into that rut.

It's about really disrupting that rut and finding out what really energizes you.

What would really make things amazing in your life?

Then, go after it, 100%.

I’d also like to invite you, and everyone reading this to a FREE one-hour training I’ll be hosting on Tuesday… I’m going to take you Inside the Secrets of the Science of Getting Rich. And guess what? One of the topics is about the power of purpose and desire. I think it’ll really help you! CLICK HERE and join me on Tuesday at 1pm ET!

This week's question from my portal “The Neagle Code: Directions for Life” comes from Alisha. 

Hi David,

I have two questions. First, are desire and purpose different or the same? Second, can you explain how our secret thoughts lead us toward our passion, our purpose?

So, to answer your first question:

Your desire and your purpose are different.

Your purpose is never ending. It's always expanding.

It is the track that you're on for your life, what you're going to be, do, and have, as a person. It's the reason that you're here.

Your desire is the inner compass that will keep you in your purpose all your life. It's your inner guidance system for you to follow and learn to follow that will keep you in your purpose.

To answer your 2^nd question:

Yes, our secret thoughts do lead us toward our passion and our purpose.

But why are they secret thoughts, and why should we express them?

Most people learn at some point not to verbalize the things that they really want, especially if they were criticized or made wrong in their life. They don't express them anymore.

They think about them in their secret thoughts, the thoughts that they don't tell anybody about.

Very often, we've either been doing that for so long, or we don't recognize that we're doing it.

We don't realize that those secret thoughts are extremely important in telling us what it is that we really desire in life, and we need to find a way to give expression to them.

The only reason that we're not expressing our secret thoughts, is that we have shame or guilt wrapped up in them, somebody told us they were wrong, or society doesn't agree with them.

There's some reason you're not expressing it, but it's the actual thing that you should be expressing that will lead you into all the things that you want to do in your life.

This week's question from my portal “The Neagle Code: Directions for Life” comes from someone who wishes to remain anonymous. 

Hi David,

Are there any tools that I can use to really see what that next step is, that next action? I just feel like I'm always pushing to an unrealistic point, even though I feel like I can do it, but then it ends up being this overwhelming thing.

The desire needs to be there, because if it's there, that will be the thing that causes you to overcome whatever resistance there is around the action.

If the desire is not there, then the fear will always be stronger than whatever it is that we're saying the desire is.

There are three important questions you must ask:

1) What do you really want?

And be 100% completely honest with yourself about this answer.

2) Are you currently doing whatever it is to achieve what you want?

This needs to be specific and it needs to have direction.

The achievement needs to be something that's measurable, so that you can determine not only what track to be on, but in what direction on that track you’re going.

3) What needs to happen every day in order to achieve whatever it is that you’re looking to achieve?

And this should be more than one thing.

You have to get clear on what these actions are, because they give you direction every day and tell you what you need to work on.

It could be identifying all the problems that are out there, how you overcome those problems, and how you know that you've overcome those problems.

People think success is a destination. It's never a destination.

Never, ever, ever. It is a journey. And it is a process.

Successful people live in the process, not in the destination. They love the process.
