Journalling As A Tool To Become A Millionaire | Patrick Grove & Vishen Lakhiani

[Music] so I want to bring forth a guy who kind of kicked my butt when I was playing small and I want you two to to listen to him for the next 30 minutes or so as we go on this interview because I think you're gonna get some really important things out of this but what I want to share with you are some of the people that inspired me to go bolder and I'm hoping that some of this will rub off on you too so that no matter where you are you also can go bigger and bolder in terms of a collective instruction manuals for spaceship earth Patrick Grove is a really unique character so I've known him as a friend for over a decade and I'll tell you one story about him I actually wrote about this story in my book the code of the extraordinary mind so I was in Starbucks and I was working on something like small to me it was a big deal but it was small it was basically an optimized blog so that I could I could earn income as a teacher right from affiliate marketing sounded cool to me back then but uh here's what happened I walk into Starbucks to sit down and stop writing down my idea of the blog and I see Patrick and I'm like oh man Patrick is gonna freaking love this thing I've totally nailed on how to just like stream organic search traffic to a blog so that you can you can get autopilot affiliate revenue and I go up to Patrick and he's scribbling on a piece of paper and on that piece of paper I see the number 100 million on it right so I asked Patrick what's going on here what what what are you doing I was fascinated and he said and he puts his pen down he goes BAM vision I'm trying to think about how I can generate a hundred million dollars in a business in one single year and I'm thinking okay he's probably not gonna be interested my blog idea so I go buy a cup of coffee I sit down and I just listen to him and I'm slightly skeptical I mean who the hell like in my mind like a guy sitting in Starbucks in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia it's not gonna generate 100 million in business in one year but the funny thing about Patrick is he has this habit of setting a vision and then making it real Patrick went on to create a series of companies called I car he bought a small car website raised some venture funding merged it with other car websites rolled it into a giant company called I car and took it public in one year at a valuation on the Australian Stock Exchange of a hundred million but here's the crazy part Patrick didn't stop there Patrick went on to create multiple multiple multiple hundred million dollar-plus companies he launched Malaysia's biggest media company with Kylie who's a former AFS speaker and a former MindValley employee he launched Malaysia's biggest property company and checked if you saw the screen earlier he sold it to Rupert Murdoch for 700 million dollars and he went on to just launch multiple companies and now his next goal is a billion dollars and he's doing that with iflix which is the Netflix of the developing world so he's creating literally in Netflix for countries like in Africa countries in Southeast Asia where local programming can be accessible the people who don't have television sets but have mobile phones and in the process he's become last I checked the 7 richest man in Australia but he isn't driven by wealth I I know Patrick what I love about the guy is that he's really humble he's really loving he knows how to have fun he sort of like a Richard branch and his type character but what I love most about Patrick Grove is how for 10 years he's been kicking my butt because every time I filled a mad dishin you've done it I see another news article about Patrick Grove and I'm like I gotta go bigger but uh but you know the reason why mine Valley went from a simple online publisher to now building global universities is partially because of the influence of men like this see we all rub off on each other right we all are influenced by each other the reason why I want to keep elevating the level of people in this tribe is because if I don't the level starts dropping so every year we increased about and we increase the bar and we increase the bar so that we can all elevate each other the same effect that patrick grove has on me constantly kicking my butt to go bigger is what I want to have happen in this tribe so you'll see this leveling up happening at every af-s happening at 9:00 Valley University happening to new people becoming happening from the people we bring on stage and with that let's bring on stage Patrick Grove so um so a couple of questions Patrick first what was going on in your mind there like like this journaling thing you do on a piece of paper where you plot on taking over the world is that like where did you explain to us what's happening you know what just listening to that that introduced now I feel like I need to apologize to you because that eight years ago when I saw you in Starbucks I didn't I didn't ask you about your blog website but you were trying to build yeah so you know I'd love to know more about that blog website and how you optimize SEO traffic and and anyway maybe we can talk about that over lunch but you know one of the things that anyway man it's so good to see you here Thank You Man I listen is one of those I left when you look with the flower in there we're in Bali why not right why not think big think different um you know vision is one of those close friends where I'm sure you all have a close friend where you live in the same city you only see each other once a year but when you see each other that that one moment it's it's it's it's it's just magical and it's incredible and and fish it is one of my closest friends and so I'm really happy to be here and be part of this tribe um in terms of the journaling you know it's it's I've been a huge you know vision has been a huge influence in my life a lot of the Tony Robbins material has been hugely influential and you know I I read once somewhere that people who write down their goals and had been proven you know had a far greater greater chance of achieving their goals as opposed to people who would just think about it and think oh well I want to have a nice house or a nice car and a beautiful family versus the people who actually wrote it down somewhere in a journal or in a word document or put it on a poster on the wall and and so what I did about 10 years ago is I started it's quite easy I started journaling and sometimes I would do it in in a notebook sometimes I do it in my laptop and I would literally for the first two sessions I would write down and complain about all the things in my life that I hated my body I hated my you know that my business was small I hated that we lived in KL like you know why didn't we live in a cool city like New York or whatever whatever and and once like it was kind of like release once I got all that negative energy out of the drilling process then I started thinking hey you know what why don't I start journaling about what do I actually want out of my life and so I started right now okay I want to live in a better home I want to have an amazing relationship with every member of my family I want to have amazing friends like vision maybe I don't see them every week or every month maybe I see them once a year but what we're still the closest of friends I want to be able to travel maybe I live in KL let me find great things about kale but at the same time let me travel to great cities that aspire me and and and so what happened is that number one was I started using the journal to complain and once I got that out of my system then I started using the journal to envision like what it was I wanted to get out of my life and I think where I made the biggest breakthrough and that was kind of around that I was always that I wasn't using the journal no longer to write down what I wanted I was writing I was using the journal process to write down how do I get what I want and I think that was the biggest breakthrough that I had where's and you think about it a lot is that a lot of people when they're thinking in their mind they're asked myself why why did this happen to me why am I not happy with my body why am I not happy with my bank account why don't I go on great holidays like all those people on Instagram follow why don't I have great cool interracial friends and once you stopped using why is the beginning of every question that you ask yourself and started replacing it with Hal and then I was then I started using the journal process how do I have more inspirational friends how do I go in a more inspirational holidays how do I have a better body happy like how do I have closer relationships with my brother and my mother and my father my friends and so on and and so when you saw me that day the question that I was trying to answer myself is I was like you know it was funny it was more it was more kind of it's kind of like going in the seminar sometimes you need to step outside your comfort zone and just kind of shock the system and do something different and you know that's why I'm wearing a flower in my head that that's why I'm wearing football but you just sometimes need to deliberately do something different because then your mind starts to think differently and so when you saw me it was really cute is that Starbucks that you saw Matt was not a Starbucks that I normally go to at all so I deliberately went to a different Starbucks I did liberally bought a new notebook and I started with how do I make a hundred million dollars in twelve months and when I first started the back before like how it was not why don't I have it under a million dollars like how do I get one hundred million dollars and I thought let me be really cheeky with my some say even twelve months and that's when you saw me and by the time when you saw me I also thought it was a crazy crazy thing to try and do but the funny thing is it by doing three or four sessions like that I actually figured out a way to do it and then ended up doing it which was just great so when you saw me I I had no hope or belief whatsoever that it was possible but it was just like a fun thing to do like you could I could watch something on Netflix I could go to the cinema or I could just sit in a cool cafe and try and solve this ridiculous crazy question and what surprised me is that the more and why did this kind of exercise I would start to solve these problems how often do you do with these exercises I'm gonna freak you out I'm gonna show you my calendar from last month I'm sorry last week so this isn't this is this is my calendar for this week uh-huh this is my calendar for last week see the red ones right that's what I want holy you travel a lot so you're doing this exercise every time when you're on a plane so then check out what I actually put my calendar click on that what does that say 10 B n session what does that mean so I should put in my calendar I want to playing for one hour and I haven't figured this out yet but it's such a fun exercise like how do I make 10 billion dollars into you and it's actually enjoy dollar at n BN session my mobile attendee obsession and I ten billion dollars in two years I have no idea how to do it ok good or not oh but but it's just such a fun process to try and figure it out holy this is bold now I'm starting to feel like I'm playing too small again ok so so you started you started writing down if you want we can talk about the blog's like I feel bad so we started out with a hundred million you pulled it off with cop with icon yeah I caught a sure how long was that from writing it down to actually making it happen around five years right no like I'd like that that time we saw a Starbuck like journaling session it was probably four or five sessions like that okay so I would do a session every week I'd put it and what was key is so a few things I learn tricky I mean journaling is great and amazing you can either write or you can type whatever you like and it was key to start with a how question not a why question right sorry the how question and the other key thing is put it in your freaking diary because we're all lazy or we all want to do something that's fun and instantly rewarding and and it's hard to sit in the cafe anger how am I gonna solve this great question so you saw like I literally put it in my like the same like you put a gym session in your diary or you put like a phone call with some rapport like if you don't put for me if I don't put it in my diary and I'm just incredibly ATD it just doesn't happen right I'll put it in my diary and what I found was that usually about if you do four or five sessions you started to get like crystal clear clarity on how to solve a big question that's amazing and then and then and then it's how to do it and it's kind of like what you said the other it's like riding down four or five page plan now and then it's getting out there and executing the plan takes that case took 12 months okay so you started out with a hundred billion in one year sorry 100 million hundred new you executed that I believe you'd end up the goal from what I remember from our conversations or drinks you up the goal to 1 billion in 12 months yeah did that happen um didn't know it didn't happen completely uh but it became super close what what was the super close I'm so we started a company called iflix and you know literally within two years of starting the company you know the company was worth five six hundred million dollars within 24 months of starting the company got it so and but what was rich is that when you know when I was when I was doing the journaling for I flick so you know I literally set myself to go over how to make this a billion dollar come how to make this like within 24 months and and at the time I thought it was crazy but I thought you know what like if I'm not gonna be crazy I'm never gonna figure this out if I just keep doing the same thing but every other entrepreneur does then that I'm never gonna get a crazy outsize result and what was interesting is that we came up with a crazy plan shared it with the team you know they got behind it and so Susan what was funny is that we didn't hit the billion dollar goal but we hit a five hundred million dollar goal man man damn that's pretty damn good to hit the goal so so one of things like you read like sometimes like set the goal so far like ahead but even though even if you only hit half your goal it's still pretty damn good achieve right it's like that quote aim for the stars and maybe you land on the moon correct yeah that's that's that's remarkable so you set a goal for 2 billion in 1 billion in 12 months you here 24 months and you hit 500 million in 24 months correct cool that's still pretty impressive yeah not too bad try I know I know I know I know I need a metric any Starbucks and and so that's why now I've upped the number to tell me I like look in my mind I'm not sitting here and just go like I'm not I don't get turned on by having 10 billion dollars in the bank like I just get turned on by setting myself a big crazy goal and and proving myself to myself like I should figure out how to achieve that goal this and this is kind of how you play the game of life it's it's some people their goal is to climb mountains your goal is to take companies public I believe right now you have taken five companies public correct now there was a moment though mmm when the.com bubble burst on you had started so Patrick started a search engine in Asia leafless call catcher yep catcher and minute comm bubble burst he basically was in the verge of losing everything tell us that story how you rebound it because that's a pretty cool story okay um so 1999 first talk on crash 24 years old we had a company with 300 employees across five countries we'd raise twenty million dollars from from investors I'd convinced my mom to invest her life savings in the business stock market crashes even though we'd raised twenty million you know cuz when you're young and you're 24 years old your whole team is staffed with a bunch of twenty-four years old so it's 24 all your dinner so the CEO me 24 years old my CFO 23 years old one tip is never have a 23 year old CFO ever again so anyway so when the market crashes I look at him and were like so what's like what's the financial situation he's got a I got good news and I got bad news for you I'm like okay what's the good news he's like we have two million dollars in the bank I was like okay well we started with 20 and now we have two okay that's the good news what's the bad news because we owe people six million dollars it's like it's like okay never again hire your good friend in a two is 23 years old as a CFO and so what happened is then we woke up one day literally with four million dollars in debt the three whatever three hundred staff went to 30 staff we didn't one afternoon we had to cut four countries cut all the staff you know it's really tough saying I'm like I'm really sorry like I don't know what's happened to your life savings you know I was in a really dark place you know I would go to bed every night literally hoping that like my building that I lived in would blow up while ice while I was asleep like I wouldn't have to wake up to face the world tomorrow and and so what was really interesting is is um it was Saturday night at I think it was like whatever 9:30 I was in the bookstore on Saturday night and I stumbled across a book called unlimited power by Ann theorem how many of you know Anthony Robbins ok beautiful beautiful and I stumbled across a book called unlimited power by Anthony Robbins and at the time I didn't have any money so I was her book so what I would do is I would go to the book store and I would like hide in a little corners as a big bookstore back in the days when they fail at bookstores and I would just sit in little corner of the book Sartain I would try to read as much of the book as I could in the bookstore so I did have to buy the book and and I didn't realize it was it came midnight and I didn't realize that they literally shut down the bookstore they were cleaning up the bookstore they turned off most of the lights and I was actually almost reading in the dark I was like holy I'm gonna be stuck in the bookstore and so I am gonna reluctantly buying the book bought the book went home read it like for a few like literally is one of those you know you ever have a book where you just can't you just can't put it down and the book was kind of exactly what I needed at that point in time because I hadn't given up but I just didn't have the mental and the physical strength to keep going anymore like you know my dream had to be an entrepreneur and I'd seen that completely collapsed I was on the front page of the newspaper you know there's a headline saying combust big photo of me and you know my poor mother had lost her life savings backing me and so you just didn't have the mental strength or clarity to even like how do i you get out of this and then i read the book and you know straight away it just it just gave me such a great blueprint on how to be more effective in the way that you use your brain the way that you vision things the questions that you asked the way you communicate with yourself the way that the body language that you use the way that you surround yourself with other inspirational people and it was just it was literally a how-to guide for how to basically train your brain to be better in shitty situations and I literally went from there and executed ever and kind of over eight-year period you know now we have 3,000 people across 30 countries my mom got back all her savings you know and should be such a beautiful experience so that was one of the key things and so you went on from there from feeling like a complete failure to going on to stop to take five company's IPO correct one I know I property usable to Rupert Murdoch for like what 700 million Singapore dollars about 750 million Australian dollars there okay that that's remarkable so you're still the chairman for public companies correct you know how do you manage that no no but I'm Babette but I'm serious you're the chairman keep this in mind yeah he's the chairman of for public companies collectively worth over a billion dollars you're here in Bali hmm and you've been in Bali for a while the last time I saw you you at Yoga line Bobby you're here with a flower in your hair and flip-flops yes chairman I know our aging progressively faster having lost most of their hair and are permanently shaking you're hanging out with the wrong chair no yeah I mean it's it's it's it's you know and to the point whether it is why I'm bought in buying one of these right like to thank you for inviting me it's great is that you know I'm a big believer in that is that you get so much energy and inspiration by surrounding yourself and use the great word the right tribe and so one of the things you know why I come to Bali is it surround myself in such a beautiful holistic environment where you know it allows my brain to become free and start to think about bigger better great creative things but you're stuck in the day-to-day of life like sometimes hard to break free to the point earlier why do I do my big vision exercises on planes I don't get distracted I don't get emailed I don't get what's apt I don't you don't get dragged into a meeting so for me Bali's run the place where you literally you get out of your comfort zone and I feel like to mentally get out of your comfort zone you need to physically get out of your comfort zone as well and I think you know one of the things I learned from Patrick is that if you're solving a problem you're solving a problem right and often it takes the same amount of genius to solve a small problem versus a big problem and so you can set it all to create a million-dollar company and it reminds faculties to get there as setting a goal to start a billion-dollar company it and and here's what I mean tell us the story of how you start a public company and then you immediately spin it off and how you get the right person to run it okay by poaching the competition that was genius okay so so I mean one of the things I mean and I think I'm sure everyone is I mean how many of you are CEOs entrepreneurs in this room okay beautiful what a great tribe I think one of the things that you need to do as the leaders you need to get really crystal clear now you know what are your strengths and one of your weaknesses and I think in the beginning and I had this was like I thought I could be great at everything and and and I could do everything and would differ and then you need to learn over time you know what I'm really really good at certain things and there's other things that I'm kind of average at and there's other things I'm really bad at and so one of the things that I learned early on is in particular that process when the company almost went past that I had to reflect my partner's tonight and it's always great when you can do this together with a business partner we started saying you know what what do we think as individuals we can be world best at and let's just do that and everything else that we're not world and we might be Malaysia best at or Asia best at but if we're not world's best at a certain thing like let's not do it let's hire someone through it let's find someone else who's world's best at so so with so with the example of a vie property when it was a first kind of company that we built we floated on the stock market and just to define I property is a big property listing website where you pick up your properties for rent or for sale yeah and you know for the first two years we ran it I was chairman my other business partner was CEO but we kind of right it was almost like CEO CEO kind of relationship and we thought how we can do this ourselves were young we're hungry we work hard we'll figure it out and then what what happened was that a big company in Australia would you know they were worth like 700 million we were worth 20 million at the time and they would always trash-talk us in the press trash-talk us to fund managers and analysts they were literally trying to starve off our funding so we would just die and and then what what happened is that we had been running the business for two years and we were kind of we're kind of doing a like if we were to give ourselves a report card we were we're a be at managing a company was we were like 1/8 putting together pieces and building energy and strategy and so on but we were being running a company so what happened is that this company that was bigger than us and was trash-talking us like every opportunity they got what happened was that the the shareholders and the CEO and the CEO had a little bit of a disagreement on salary package and it became quite public so I literally straightaway went onto MSN Messenger at the time this is quite a while ago and reach out to the CEO and go hey um he reached out to the CEO or each CEO the CEO and said hey I you know you're not happy with your package you want to join us we'll give you a better package and he was like yeah why would I join you so I was like and he was pay like three million dollars a year and our company is only worth like thirty million dollars so I was like okay so then I went to the CEO oh hey do you want to join us Beliveau get I'm about to be the CEO that's what he was thinking he's like he's like no no no no thanks and you know he was getting paid like million dollars a year so then this country this company was in four countries and I found the GM of Australia it's like yo you know and then this time I did my reals like how much is this guy paid okay I just need to offer a little bit more like you know you would like to joins like I'll pay the same thing pay P family muda Malaysia will give you loads options in the company would you like to move to Malaysia and he goes yeah I need to get the out of here I would like like summarizing like a lot of chats in the one but and you know what and he moved to Malaysia and you've met him it's L Sean and he moved to Malaysia and at that time we were kind of being shook up I'll be the chairman my best friend will be the CEO and he'll be the CEO uh and literally and as part of the interview because we were a little bit shake is a part of the interview oh you got a comfort interview you got to meet the other guys like there's no other guys what we want to say that you got to come and present you're like what would you do what would be a 90 day plan what would be your one-year plan what would be your five-year plan and our view was that if he wasn't the right guy at least we'd get the plan and so so he came over the CEO didn't know in his chairman no she ordered because you know he's he wasn't sure how that shake out a buffoon was gonna end up he came and the plan that he presented was like so freaking good we're just like we gotta close this guy on the spot and but but when he went through the plan I started to realize that his plan is ability to execute the plan would be far better than if I spent 48 hours a day trying to build that business and that's when I realized that they really are people who are better than you at certain different things that you're doing and and here's me you know at the time we were paying ourselves I don't know like $100,000 a year and he was gonna be paid $500,000 a year but but if you start thinking about it from an entrepreneurial or share hina minds are like if we have a company worth 30 million dollars a year and I've got to step out of my comfort zone to go from paying my best friend a hundred K a year paying this guy 500 K a year but he made the company go from 30 million to 700 million now that's like the best investment any day of the week 30 million to 700 million he's been over six seven years six seven years and I remember during that time I become into you in a bar and you can't be in there like bish and I'm so disappointed and I'm like Patrick what happened you're like I put so much of my money in Apple stock because Apple stock is always growing and it's so predictable but have you seen my own company it's overtaken Apple stock in terms of growth this year should have just invested in my own company do you remember that I I do remember that anyway tell me tell me about your blog that I think you might find that idea pretty fascinating yeah so um so now tell us about iflix what are you looking so with iflix you're looking at competing with Netflix yeah which is no freaking joke yeah in the developing world yeah true so I mean what you know what I mean a simple premise on I mean I mean this is a very Western scoot audience but what we found in a lot of the emerging markets like in the media like Philippines like Thailand is that you know a few things that most people watch video on their mobile phones which is a little bit different America one has a big screen TV and secondly most people don't want to watch Western content they you know they don't want to watch house of cards they don't want to watch oranges and you back they want to watch local original show Indonesian shows or Filipino shows or and so on and you know Netflix or HP over there doesn't target that audience oh so we let's go out there and build a big disruptive media business where and it was really bold because we wanted to disrupt three things at the same time we disorder the disrupt free-to-air TV cable TV and piracy all at the same time and we thought if we could do that and and build a great entertainment platform that sits on the mobile in emerging markets and we would build a great big business that's awesome you're doing such a great service for local cultural programming as well so it doesn't get drowned out by by just American programming so congratulations - you're right next question is how do you find balance in life okay cuz you're a busy guy but you know you seem really balance to me I got a Starbucks we're gonna buy so so this is quite a gem but I'm glad you asked me this um you know probably in my 20s I you know I was very single-minded obsessed with creating wealth and and and it's really funny like if you spend time and you see that I'm not I I don't look like someone who has a lot of wealth and it's not it was funny took me a while to realize that it wasn't actually the actual money in my bank account that I was seeking it was it was more the kind of alpha male competitiveness against alpha males and that that kind of ranking like how big is your company versus your company and that's what I was seeking and in my 20s it was very kind of about that and then you know kinda there was a moment one day when I woke up and you realize that that hey I haven't seen my dad in like nine months I'm smoking my brother in six months like like I don't even know who my best friend is like do I even have one I'm not happy with my body and you know I'm not happy with my relationships and you start to realize that like it like it just is so focused on wealth creation that I died missed so many other parts of life so what happened then in my thirties I kind of used the journaling process to kind of evolve the way that I create balance and one of the things that I do is I still use the journal process and because I'm a TD and I need the things structured and simple I'm gonna forget it or get distracted is that I created this thing I don't know if I've ever told you this called the six FS so I broke down my goals into like all six FS so it's so easy I can be I can be like at an airport terminal waiting for a flight which has you so much schedule is like a flight every day and and I quickly mentally go through my mind my six FS and so what I've done is I broken down I've determined that for me to be balanced I need to be happy with my progress on each of the six actions so the six FS you know our number one is finance number two family number three friends number four Fitness number five figurehead so if you're like I want to share and I want to help others and number six what was important Leanne you appreciate this is fun so so six FS and I just it's like a mental check that I go through like okay like what am i doing about my finance goal okay what am i doing about my fitness goal what am i doing about my fun goal you know and that's come to Bali come this event what am i doing about my figure hit goal you know one day I'm gonna talk to you about writing the blog and how to create a great blog site and and and so what I found was that as the journal process you go through the journal process and like look how so then I'd come to family goal and okay how how can I be a better son how can I be a better brother and then then one of the students okay I'm gonna organize a group holiday in Bali and that's one otherwise another reason why buying was special to me because it was at one place where I could get every one of my family live all over the world to come for one week and that was incredibly special for me and what I found was that and because I'm kind of a goal orientated machine that once I started making sure that had bounce goals in each of those six F's that the same intensity that you saw me in that right how do I make a hundred million dollars it's the same as how do I make sure that everyone in my family speaks to every everyone else once a month or you know our crazy like that it seems like your mind just needs to solve problems in a beautiful way yeah and you're solving problems for everyone including your family I really appreciate how much you care side story about Patrick Patrick I'd originally asked him months ago to speak at the safest but he had gone for surgery and his voice was he was having some difficulty with his voice so he wasn't he couldn't commit and as soon as he healed himself he whatsapp me and said hey I'm gonna be in Bali let me know how I can contribute and this is why he's here repeat the success okay people who I interested so what I would say is and ie I'm so similar like I like I don't want to get on a stage and share my story I don't think my story is that important it's it's I would love that if I can make a really really small difference for some of the people in this room and if I get just like a little nugget I would say like however you schedule your life whether it's in your phone or like commit right now put put put a marker in your calendar like whether it's the flight back whether it's tomorrow in the beach and just block out a one out of hours schedule if you can block out one hour to go to the gym if you can block out one hour to watch something on Netflix block out one hour for yourself and start and just start journaling and whether you use the 5f sticks like I don't care what system you use just if you've never journaled and just first get out all the in your life in the journal and then start to like what do you want out of life and then start to how do I get that life put on some good music go to a beautiful place and I think and just commit to just do one session in a cool cafe somewhere and I think that you'll start to get addicted to it you'll find it such a beautiful therapeutic and what you start to find which is really before you start to write the story of you're alive and I tell you what's been mined way because I've been doing this process now for 10 years sometimes I would write like black people okay what is like what does Patrick's life in ten years look like and I just write it but well I just crap write like and and it's so freaking scary because I'd go back and read what I wrote and like it's like a 90% success rate like all the crazy things that I've written down I've actually ended up coming into my life it's a mindset or some sort of philosophy that you have internally that you think is making that come to you so rapidly yeah I think what is it I think a lot of like if you watch the secret it says I just think about it think about it think about it and I think for me it was like I felt that there was more than just thinking about envisioning and I just imagined great I mean to me was it was more and what I said like the how I'd ask yourself the Hawkeyes like it's like if you watch the secret and then it says just just think about having the world the most amazing career in life you just think think think think think alright I'm not I'm not I'm not sure what you went what what what do you share but I'm not a big believer in just thinking and that happens I'm more a more action orientated person and saying okay think about it so now it's in my soul and my minds to what I want but more portly how do I actually make it happen and I think too many people just think think think and like I'm just kind of waiting waiting for the lottery ticket to like hit me and waiting for that customer to say yes or waiting for this amazing partner to walk in my life but I feel like you got it you you gotta take action and I think just by religiously asking yourself how how how do I have it by the body how do I have better people in my life how do I go on amazing holidays how do I learn as much as I can out of this session how do I have a great time tonight and meet three awesome people that are gonna be best friends I think you just keep asking yourself how then I think your mind your body in your soul was all those amazing and Patrick wasn't even here yesterday when we spoke about the Google and Intel philosophy of okay ours but that's the how can you guys see how okay ours take your vision and reduce it to what you need to do this quarter business-wise or personal wise to hit the targets and gives you measurable goals everybody got that that how process what I recommend is the okay ours and definitely the journaling and the setting time aside process that Patrick talks about interestingly pendrick you are not aware of the conversation I was just recommending with Cameron Harrell right the party has that pisode but it's eerie how much of an overlap Cameron Harrell suggests as I said that you take time off get in a boat get out of the office open up a journal and write your favorite vision and he doesn't have six FS but he talks about I kid you not 5s okay fate family friends finance Fitness fate family friends finance Fitness sounds like a boring guy where's the fun right and and then Patrick adds two more so it doesn't and it doesn't matter what the f star like just yeah yeah so so so you can you can take Cameron heralds five apps at Patrick's fun and big a hit you know these naps go wild no he's not yet okay but uh but I bet you someone here knows him and it's what zapping him right now what what I would say is is is please just booked an hour with yourself it's it's go to a cool cafe put on a good music set that you like to listen to and I'm easy to add on Instagram and just do it and tell me tell me if you liked it just like cuz I'm curious to know like it works for me and I'm not trying to sell this on the world but I'm just really really here's know if it works for other people how do we follow you on Instagram just add patrick grove and you can just message me directly it's super easy awesome Thank You Patrick cool Thank You McKenna thanks for
