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

Hi David,

I attended one of your seminars in 2018, and I credit the first 15 minutes of it with fundamentally changing my business model. I’ve moved from a solely commission-based, to a fee-based model. I haven’t fully implemented this change across all of my customers yet. I’ve hit pause on approaching the ones who aren’t a giant pain in the ass.

What’s holding me back?

It’s a fear of losing business. It’s that simple.

Here’s the thing… sometimes when you make a change like that, you lose business—but then you end up getting more business.

During the most significant times when I changed my pricing based on my own growth, I always lost business at first. There were many people who weren’t going to continue. When you’re doubling or tripling your price, they just can’t make sense of it.

But then I immediately went out and brought in new clients at the new price. It wasn’t difficult at all. I was 100% solid in what I was doing, and that’s all you need to do.

If something is stopping you from moving forward and approaching that next level of customer, remember the following principle:

See what you want, be clear on your outcome, and go after it.

Fear shows up in interesting ways when you’re dealing with pricing and sales… it’s insidious as hell.

On Tuesday of this week I’m going to be hosting a FREE live 4-Hour Workshop to address some of the issues that pop up in sales and pricing when you’re looking to grow and expand, and I’m planning on giving everyone very specific step-by-step strategies to move through these issues quickly. Join me HERE!

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 a question about visualization. What should it look like as a daily practice? Am I imagining a scenario? Am I feeling a state of gratitude? Am I seeing a symbol? How do you do it? How do you recommend people visualize? I’d like to make it a daily practice, so it feels more natural to do it.

Great question! I do something called a “Sacred Seven” each morning. I run through a process of determining how I want to be and how I want to show up throughout my day.

Let’s say you get up at 6:00 AM and go to bed at 10:00 PM. I’ll look at my calendar and see all these different things scheduled for me to do. (That’s another reason why everything in your life should be calendared, by the way.)

I look at each thing on my calendar and ask: “How do I need to show up to this today?” Maybe it’s a meeting, coaching call, live event, etc. These can even be activities in your personal life, like spending time with your significant other. It should all be on the calendar.

Ask yourself, “How do I want to show up to each of these activities?” Then see yourself being the person you want to be.

The more you do this, the easier it gets. You’ll reach the point where you’ll see yourself that way all the time.

As you go through your day, it’ll be fresh in your mind—the image of who you want to be. For example, if you have a client meeting, you could say, “Here’s this meeting; here’s what’s will happen. Here’s how I want to see myself—confident, negotiating, compassionate,” or whatever it is. Then see yourself showing up in that way.

If you catch yourself reacting negatively to someone, give yourself a timeout. Walk away, gather yourself, and figure out what’s going on with you.

Ask: ”Why am I acting this way? “Why am I choosing to have this experience?” “Why do I feel so angry right now?” It’s never about the person or the situation—it’s about you and what’s going on with you. It all goes back to responsibility.

The truth is, you control how you respond.

You can always come back to that intentional place of showing up in the way you want to show up.

At the end of the day, evaluate how well you did. You might be like, “Omg, I completely blew who I said I was going to be. I snapped at somebody or something.”

If you didn’t do well in one area, ask yourself, “How can I do that better next time?” Forgive yourself, so you’re not bringing shame or guilt in, or beating yourself up.

Then go into the law of cause and effect: “How did that happen? What caused it? What did I do? What did I miss? What do I need to learn?”

The next time you’re in a meeting, you’ll remember that. You’ll be able to show up as the person you said you were going to be.

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

Hi David,

Five years ago I lost a child. I feel guilty about it, and it’s blocking everything else in my life. In the last six months of her life when she was sick, I could have spent more time with her. I could have made different choices.

How do I move past this? This is blocking me everywhere.

I’m sorry for your loss.

Grief is extremely painful. Sometimes we internalize it towards ourselves when we’re angry that the person we love left. I don’t know if you’ve ever explored that or not, especially when it’s a child. It’s hard to be angry at a child when a child dies.

But here’s what I do know: we’re all going to lose people we love. Death is a part of life. We start dying from the moment we’re born.

Everyone is here in this life to interact with people in order to learn something.

I’d ask yourself, “What is this supposed to teach me?” You had this experience for a reason; she had this experience for a reason. But now we’re working with you.

What are you supposed to learn from this, that will make your life better?—that will make it more fulfilling, more enriching, and which will add more contribution? What do you need to learn?

When you get really clear on what you need to learn from this, you’ll start seeing something open up in front of you that you don’t currently see. I can’t tell you what that will be. But every bit of awareness we gain, everything we become aware of, leads us to the next phase of our life, the next opportunity.

It’s always to help other people in some way, to enrich our life, to enrich their life, or to contribute or be of service. It’s never for you to suffer or beat yourself up over.

Also… it’s perfectly fine to be angry that she left.

Not feeling guilty doesn’t mean you didn’t love her. People think, “If I don’t suffer, or if I don’t feel guilty, that means I must not have cared.” And that’s not true. That’s a lie from the pit of hell. Don’t take that on.

The other truth is that we always could have done something better. You did what you did. You were who you were, because of who you were at the time. You couldn’t have possibly known the outcome that would happen…to the point where you could reverse and reevaluate how you should have behaved. Nobody can know that.

To beat ourselves up in hindsight doesn’t help us move forward.

So it’s about looking at: what do we need to learn to move forward?

She knows you loved her. And she’s there; you can talk to her. I don’t know if you do that or not, but you can and you probably should. She’s all around you all the time; she always will be.

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

Hi David,

I literally just found you and have started listening to your podcast. You quote SO many books and resources, but what do you believe is the single best place to start studying if I’m new to the “personal development” world?

I get this question all the time and LOVE answering it!

I will give you a list of the books that I’ve found most helpful to my growth and the growth of my students.

If someone were to ask me what book has been the most influential in my life, I would say it is The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace Wattles. I still remember the day I picked it up and read it, and I can honestly say, since that day over 20 years ago, I’ve never travelled or taught without it.

It’s a book that explained so much for me, and even now, I can open any page, at any time and see the truth in its pages. It appears to be a short simple book, but actually I’ve found that there are hidden “secrets” that most people miss.

I’m going to be sharing those secrets in a free training I’m hosting on Tuesday. If you’ve read it several times, or even if you’ve never picked the book up before, I invite you to join me.

If you’re interested, CLICK HERE.

The other books I’d recommend are:

• You²
  – by Price Pritchett
• God Works Through Faith
  – by Robert A. Russell
  
• The Four Agreements
  – by Don Miguel Ruiz
  
• Think & Grow Rich
  – by Napoleon Hill
• Working With The Law
  – by Raymond Holliwell

Before you go blasting through each of these books to check them off your list, I suggest that you “STUDY” them. Go slow and take them chapter by chapter.

Each one of them contains pure gold.

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

Hi David,

I’m always worried that I’m not doing enough, learning enough, or taking enough action. How do I stop these self-sabotaging thoughts?

Great question.

This sounds like a voice of “I'm not enough” that's creeping up for you.

You need to just ignore that voice, and repeat (out loud and over and over):

“I'm enough. I'm enough”.

Then the first step in setting a goal is to determine what needs to be done to achieve the goal.

There are things that we know we need to do… and then there are things that we don't know that we need to do.  As we move toward the goal, we’ll get clearer on EVERYTHING that needs to be done.

It might be required that we learn a new skill or improve upon a strategy we’ve tried in the past.

But the key is to let the goal drive your decision-making process, not the voice in your mind.

If the goal requires you to do more, than do more.

If the goal requires you to learn more, than learn more.

Do only what needs to be done today the best that you possibly can.

Stay present and let the goal dictate your activity.

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

Hi David,

I never considered myself an anxious person, but recently I’ve been battling with a feeling of doom…kind of like waiting for the “other shoe to drop” rather than feeling hopeful and optimistic. I know I need to flip this switch or I’ll start attracting things I don’t want. Any suggestions here?

Great question.

What you are feeling is unfortunately becoming more and more commonplace… because we are being bombarded by more negativity and fear than we ever have in the past.

Let me explain how this works…

Watch how you respond when you see negative stuff on the news.

How emotionally charged do you get?

The second you realize you're emotionally charged, the negativity has already bypassed your ability to reject it.

It's gone into the reptilian part of your brain, and those media sources now control you.

The media’s agenda is to get your attention and KEEP it so advertisers will pay for that space. They can't get eyeballs if they're not trying to shock you into watching all the time. So you become numbed out and programmed to this response, and it's keeping you in a fear state.

When you’re in a fear state, your brain is constantly in a reactive mode, which means it's heightening the fear frequency.

This causes you to feel uncertain, like you're not enough, or that you're not safe.

So you feel like you're in less control.

When you feel like you're in less control,

you'll look out into your world and you'll see less opportunity.

I've watched so many people lose everything since COVID started, because they don't think that they have options. They're so focused on the negative, it's controlled their mind. Their frequency to receive has been replaced with fear. All they can focus on is what's wrong, and they don't realize it's their outside world that's controlling what their inside world sees.

We have to control this and get it the hell out of our line of sight. This will start raising our frequency, so that we can receive what we want.

My suggestion is to really sit down and do a thorough examination of what you're focused on.

Tune out anything that brings in fear and negativity and ONLY focus on possibility and what you WANT to create.

As another resource, TOMORROW at Noon ET, I’m hosting a FREE Online Coaching Forum, where I will DIRECTLY address these issues. I’ll be taking YOUR questions and providing answers so you can see through all the fear, anxiety and uncertainty you’re currently experiencing.

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

Hi David,

How can I speak in terms of what I want in a way that my subconscious mind won’t reject what I’m talking about?

Great question.

There is no way to stop your subconscious mind from rejecting what you're saying until you reestablish a full, thorough pattern of thought, emotion, physical action, and result.

The first thing is to make a decision based on the understanding that that voice is not going to shut off right away.

The idea is that:

1. You don't judge the voice, and
2. You just let it be there.

Let it be and move forward.

That negative voice that tries to reject what you want is going to be there for some time.

Your job is to make the decision that you’re not going to listen to it.

Instead make the decision that you will not be denied your success and ONLY speak what you desire in life.

That's your choice. Your choice is to speak only what you desire in life.

For example: say to yourself, “The sales are coming in every day.”

AND…

When those rejecting voices get loud, get up and stomp your feet, and clap your hands, and scream at the top of your lungs, “The sales are here now, the people are here now”.

It is important to use your emotion to work on changing the vibration, and then immediately get on the phone and start making calls.

If you consistently make sales, you do the last little piece that helps change that voice in your subconscious because it can't argue with a different result.

Consistently follow these tips to reestablish your pattern of thought, emotion, physical action, and result, and soon, you rewire your brain …and that's when the rejecting voice will stop!

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

Hi David,

How can I overcome procrastination, disorder, and clutter?

Great question.

What you give your energy to, will grow.

So, if you're focused on what you don't want or what you don't want to happen, like the procrastination, clutter and disorganization, you will notice that you will create more of the same.

The way to handle and overcome this is by first becoming aware that your thinking is causing the problem.

Procrastination, disorder, and clutter are actually caused by incorrect thinking.

Second, it's more than just making a decision to get things done, because the disorder that you experience in your physical world is a result of the disorder that's going on in the way that you think.

In other words, you have to retrain yourself to think in an orderly way, which will then bring you a sense of calm because you're not worried about constantly being disorderly.

Understand that everything happens by cause and effect, but if you’re willing to step into being the cause, the effect will take care of itself.

It takes time. You have to really work on yourself to be able overcome procrastination, disorder, and clutter, but it can be done!

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 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.
