You're listening to the Mind Mastery Podcast with Doug Barron and Scott Patton. Hey Doug. Hey Scott. Good to be back here. Yeah. All right. It's another beautiful day. We're counting down to the Quantum Wealth Mastery event the end of September. Very excited. We're going to have some tele seminars with some of the speakers on. We are indeed. It's going to be absolutely fantastic. You really want to understand how to create wealth in your life in a lasting way without being dependent on somebody else. This is the program for you. Absolutely. I mean, you know, I think you know that I was planning on doing this last year. That's right. And we had a lineup of speakers and there was a couple of speakers, I'm going to be honest, a couple of speakers who were not quite at the level of integrity that we wanted to make sure that this was going to happen in the way that we wanted to happen to really be built on helping people to find out how they can tap into their own what I call me economy. And now we've got this amazing lineup. I'm really excited to share it yesterday with people. I was like, I'm so excited about this team. It's going to be so fantastic for everybody. You know, as you were talking, you reminded me of a really important aspect of wealth that I think a lot of people don't think about. And you know, when you climb the mountain and your goals get to the top of the mountain, the peak of the mountain, they don't really think about too much except taking the next step, taking the next step, taking the next step. And I know three or four people who, well, one started Ticketmaster. So you would think they would be set for the rest of their life. The other one owned $52 million in shares in their company, worth of shares in their company. And both of those people have none of that money anymore. Wow. Yeah. So there's, you know, we talk about wealth and I think the trick is to make it permanent, you know, like, because we see the, I mean, you see this all the time, right? You'd particularly see it in Hollywood, where someone is like, a list actor, everything is good. And then what do they do? They get in a car accident or they, you know, get busted for drugs or something. And then they're, they're blacklisted and now they don't, they can't get a job sort of thing, right? So there's a lot of self-sabotage that can happen if you're not ready for the wealth or what happens when you have that wealth. Yeah. And, you know, as you've heard me talk about this before on these podcasts, but you've got to have wealth consciousness. And I always say, you can only hold as much wealth as your consciousness will let you hold. So you've got to broaden your wealth consciousness. And of course, a quantum wealth mess, you're going to go into that a lot, but it's, it's broadening. And I always say think you're as, think you're as a bigger bowl to hold more. And if you did it now, and if you don't have that, what happens is the bowl you've got, sure you may get piles to pour it in there, but it'll pour out because it's not enough space to hold it. Or it'll break the bowl. It'll just break it open and not be able to hold anything at all. And that is so often what you see happen. So you know, whether we like Donald Trump or not, the guy has wealth consciousness. He's got a huge bowl. There is bowl. Isn't it? You can say he's, he's a lot of bold men going to that. But that's the point. I mean, a guy who goes bankrupt and comes back and makes way more than he ever did before because he has the wealth consciousness to hold it. If you don't have that wealth consciousness, you can make the money, but you can't keep the money. And that's the distinction. Yeah. That's the distinction between rich and wealthy. Yeah. That's a good distinction to make. Yeah. Because you know, it's, you can get involved in something and you can make a ton of money and then well, you see with lottery winners all the time and then proof it's gone. And that's, to me, that's to have $52 million in the bank and then, you know, four years later, to be basically on welfare, that would be really depressing going from, you know, I think I'm in a job getting laid off and it's not to minimize anybody's pain, but I'm in a job getting laid off from your $40,000 a year job. And having to go on welfare is horribly, horribly tough. Yeah. And having $52 million in the wealth, that has two sides to it. And one side is if you create some wealth consciousness around it, you go, been there, done that, I can get back. Yeah. It can be fantastic. Yeah. But if you let it bite you, which it does for a lot of people, is so devastating because it seems like such an enormous climb. Yeah. And such an enormous fall. Exactly. Yeah. So that's one of the things that excites me about the quantum wealth mastery, is creating that huge bowl or creating that bigger, or creating the size of bowl that you want. Yeah. You know, I know people that are very happy, they make two or three grand a week. And it's like, well, you know, I tell them, like, you just have to do a little bit more of this and, and you'll double your, no, I'm, this is my lifestyle, I'm happy, you know. And so, you know, I think part of wealth too, is doing what you love to do, when you love to do it. Exactly. And one of the things I love to do, as I mentioned last time, was go hiking. And one of the places that I went hiking a number of years ago was around Ayres Rock, you know, in Australia, in the middle of Australia. And I've actually been there three times, I mean, yeah, once when I was in, like, great, once when I was, like, eight years old, ten years old, and then once after I graduated from university and then once on my honeymoon, I was just trying to think that there was another time, no, it was just three times. And so the first time I went, it was like red sand all over the place, the odd little bush kind of sticking up, it had maybe two leaves on it sort of thing. And that, and then you'd expect the outback Australia desert, there's nothing there, right? I don't think people know, you know, unless you've been, I mean, of course I'm from Australia, but I don't think people realize what it's like, I mean, Ayres Rock is, first of all, is gigantic. It's massive. It's massive. And the world's biggest pebble, let's see where I put it. But you know, I don't think people get it because they see the images, they see the red rock. Yeah. And it stands alone. But you have to realize in order to get that bigger piece of, you know, mountain, really, what it is, right? That piece, that pebble, that's so big, to get a perspective on it, you have to be way back. They have miles. And miles back to get a perspective on it. And if you actually look at the photographs of Ayres Rock, there's nothing. Yeah. There's nothing in order to get a full perspective of the rock. And then the sunset behind it, or the sunset, you know, whatever it is, that's a big perspective. There's nothing there. Yeah. And the desert, the outback, goes for thousands of miles in every direction. It's flatter than a pancake. I don't think there's even little hills. Nope. And it's just like nothing there, right? And that's what I saw when I was like eight years old. Right. And then when I went back after I graduated, so, you know, would have been like 15 or 16 or 17 years later, I go, and I'm expecting to see like red sand. Yeah. And there's plants growing greenery, flowers everywhere. It's like two weeks a month before, it had been raining and raining and raining. And I don't know if it was a seasonal thing, or if it just happened to be, you know, this weird thing, it rained. Right. And as soon as it rained two weeks later, everything was green, things were growing like crazy. Normally, you could walk anywhere, like when I was there before, you could walk wherever you wanted, because it was just sand you were walking on, or hard path clay. Not, but you had to really pick where you were going, because there was plants everywhere. It was amazing. So when you were there the first time, you know, when you saw that absolute desolate place, if somebody has told you that in two weeks it could look like the way it looked when you went back to university, would you believe it? No. I was totally shocked. Right. I was absolutely amazed. Right. And for me, that's the great metaphor. It's what I wrote about on my blog, on a blog called Finding Wealth in the Desert. Finding Wealth in the Money Desert. Finding Wealth in the Money Desert. Yeah. And it's like, you know, with the economy the way it's been, a lot of people feel like they're in a financial desert. Yeah. But there's no money, and God knows where it's going to come from, and it won't be any, you know, there's no never in sight. And you don't understand that that's the way the ego money works. It's absolute. Yeah. Right. You know, you've got something money that's going to last forever. So you can just keep blowing it. Yeah. No. There's no money coming in. So there's never going to be any recommend. That's crazy. That's the ego mind's workings. And going to the desert, in the way that you've just described, is a great insight. I know I went to the desert. And it was, as you said, burned flat, nothing there, and I talked about it in the blog that was this tree, which just to me was like, you know, my God, it was so old and been dead for so long. And I went back in the spring to that set. And I swore that so many, what I wrote about it is it's like the miraculous hand of God who reached out and brought it back to life. The tree was full of green, and there was dew on the leaves, and it was a complete blanket, absolute beautiful color, stunningly beautiful. And for me, that's a great metaphor for us financially, because we tend to think we're in a desert, and that's the way it's always going to be. But one, as you just said, one decent rainfall can bring everything back to life. And that rainfall in the human sense, for me, is creativity. So when everything's dried up, and you don't think there's any life going to come, if you wanted what's going on in your life with creativity, start thinking creatively about this. By asking questions. Like I said, that's the great questions, then things that are really flourish, and you'll be shocked. Because I think we're going to just see tons and tons and tons of new businesses coming out of this economy. Yeah. Well they say in the Great Depression in 1929, there were more millionaires made than any time before or after. Right. So I think this is a great time of opportunity. Exactly. But it's the same thing as before. The ego mind doesn't like change, it rebels against change, and yet, the change of the constant is going to happen, and it's the greatest place of opportunity, changes where opportunity lays. Yeah. You know, you're absolutely right. As you know, I was a grocery manager for a major grocery chain. And when I was an assistant manager, we would get, all us assistant managers would get together for lunch every once in a while, and maybe not all of us, but agree with us, and be like, okay, how many years till this guy retires? Our bosses. Right. We had it all figured out. Right. These guys are going to be around for the next 20 years. These guys are the next 10 years. These guys are the next five years. This guy may be another one or two years. How many was that? Oh, one guy retiring in the next year. And we look around at the 30 of us saying, okay, you know, one of the 30 of us is going to get a promotion in the next year. Exactly. You know, the 30 of us are going to get a promotion in the next five, you know, five years from now. Right. And the rest of us got to wait 10 years. Mm-hmm. Well, what opportunity is that? Exactly. There's no opportunity there. No. You know, it's very, very, you know, depressing. Well, that's the system of being in a dependent environment where you, you know, you rely on the job. And I'm not. That's right. Well, anybody down for that? I mean, I think if that's your choice, it's great. What you really, really won, you love it when you do, fantastic. Yeah. It also shows that I was in a business that was mature. Yes. Right. If there was one grocery store in the city of 800,000 people and there was going to be 30 more in the next 10 years, there's lots of opportunity. Right. Right. But because it was a mature market within a mature company, it was just when the next person dies, we look at who we look at. And that was the way promotions worked. But again, I think with that, one of the challenges is that people, because they've been in the dependent system, they've worked for a boss or for a company, a corporation. And so they become dependent upon that paycheck and I understand that. And they have in their mind that if they went out and did some kind of business, that they would have to do it alone. Mm. And I think that that's, I mean, I don't know about you, but I certainly don't know about me. And I know that was a mistake I made for years and years and years. In fact, that was what I was most excited about, was that I didn't have 300 employees that I had to babysit. Right. I could just do it myself and I could do it however I wanted. And that lasted about four or five months. Right. And then you just go like, "Oh my God." Right? Because it just kind of comes overwhelming. Yeah. And I think- And it's not as much fun. No. Because we are social creatures. Absolutely. We love doing things as groups and together and I maybe, you know, I have clients in Cyprus and England and all over the United States and Canada and Australia and I enjoy getting on and either talking to them or chatting with them and discussing things. And it's great that we work together and it's worldwide. You get different perspectives and everything else and it's kind of a weird, it's an interesting feeling. But- But that is one of the traps of selling your own business. Yeah. That people think- You've got to do it yourself. You've got to do it themselves. They don't. No. They don't. We've planned it the way we've planned it, got the team we've got because it's not about doing it yourself. It's about finding the right people to help you do the right things for you. And it doesn't mean you have to have a bunch of employees that you're now responsible for. No. But it means understanding that you've got to have a team of people who want to assist you. Again, back to collaboration. Yeah. As opposed to competition. And you can find those people and they're willing to work with you. They're willing to help you but you're not alone. And that's part of the challenges. We think we're alone. We make ourselves alone. That's part of the ego separation stuff. We don't need to be alone. We need to reach out and say, "How can I help you? And how can you help me? How can we help each other? How would this be a collaboration?" And Quantum Wealth is going to give you eight, one of those steps. Each one of those people is going to go, "Okay, do this and then you can do that." And it becomes really so much easier than eight trying to do it yourself. Well, having a bunch of employees, which can be, of course, enormously debilitating financially. Right. Yeah. Because it's a huge expense. And also, we want to get away from the employee mentality, which is basically, they do exactly what... It's like, when I was managing these stores, like amazing creative people work for me. But I managed to turn them into zombies for eight hours a day. Yeah. And that's what we don't want to do. No. You're able to get people... And when it's in a collaborative effort, you get people bringing in ideas that you wouldn't get, necessarily, get from employees, sometimes you can, but this is very rare. Exactly. So, you know, again, it's just reminding people that just because you don't see it right now, doesn't mean it's not bad. Yeah. Right. It needs a rainfall, and usually that rainfall is creativity. And you kind of have creativity in a mindset that is in fear. In creativity, juxtaposed, it's impossible that you kind of have to tune in the same room. So, you know, you've got to get out of this fear mindset and let yourself be creative. Once you get yourself into a creative mode, you create a rainstorm that will allow abundance to flourish with you. And then the trapper is the ego's going, "Well, I got to do all this, and I can't do it all my own." Well, you don't have to do it on your own. It's not about doing it on your own, it's about doing what you can do really well. You take care of that. You're finding great people to do the other things, and you can find those too. Again, that's what Quantum Wealth is all about. Yeah, and when you come to Quantum Wealth, you're going to be in a room full of people that are like that. Exactly. You know, so I'm alone right now in my basement with my computer. What do I do? Well, get out of your basement, turn off your computer, come to Quantum Wealth, and be around a couple hundred people that'll be excited like you are, and start making those connections. And it's going to be a very exciting group of people because they're all there, in my opinion, and the ones that I know a lot of the people who are coming, they have people who are committed to their growth, to their development, they're conscious, they care, they care about the world, they care about the environment, and they care about the people they care about. But they want to make a difference, right? And having a bunch of people like that in a room for me is a very exciting thing. Now the energy is going to be spectacular, because these people want to make a difference, not only in their lives, but in other people's lives. So if you want to find out more about this, please go and have a look at quantumwealthmastery.com. And if you go there, you'll see a little video, and there's a place you can sign up. And sign up there, you're going to get some advanced tips and tools from some telesomeinars we're going to give with some of the experts. It's going to be pretty awesome. So make sure you go and have a look, quantumwealthmastery.com. And you know, throughout these podcasts, as you know, we do our very best to give you a lot of such tips and tools and ways. And thank you, by the way, for all your wonderful comments. Many of you write to us and let us know that you're actually blown away by how much information and knowledge there is in these podcasts. And I really want you to have the opportunity to sit down, give yourself four days, four days, committed to yourself, to take your business, to take your ideas to a whole other level so you can really start creating your own me economy and have the money flowing for you. And I would say in those four days, you will cut probably a year and a half off your learning curve. Yeah, and that's the other thing. You know, honestly, you can go to, you can go to the bookstore, you can go to Barnes and Noble or Amazon or one of the physical bookstores and you can do that. I would recommend you do that. Go there, find 20 books, study them all, take notes, work out an action plan. And I'm sad to say 20 books to read, study, take notes on and develop an action plan. It's going to take you a lot longer than four days rather than having a specific set of things you can do. At the end of these four days, I guarantee you, you, as Scott just said, you're going to cut bare minimum a year and a half off your learning curve. You're going to go away with an action plan of knowing exactly what you need to do and how to do it. And speaking of Amazon and books and all the rest of it, you head over to Amazon and do a search for a book called Don't Read This, Your Ego Won't Like It by an author named Dove Barron. Yeah, I got a weird name, B-O-V-B-A-R-O-N. Yeah. And get it. And I have to tell you, Dove, that I have a copy. I'm almost two thirds of the way through it. And I'm not going to be reading it for a while. A friend of mine came over, saw it, started reading it, I said, "Scott, I've got to take this. I need to read it for me and my girlfriend has to read this. Can I please borrow it?" So he actually brought a book that he knew I wanted to read that he had and exchanged it with your book. Well, that's cool. So your book is like hot running off the shelves. Well, I tell you, you know, actually Amazon says temporarily out of stock. We keep getting notices from Amazon each day now ordering new stuff from us because they cannot keep it on the shelf. Yeah. As soon as they get it, it literally says in stock for like an hour and then boom, out of stock, yeah. So it's really selling well. It is doing well. And if you've read it and you've enjoyed it, please feel free to go to Amazon yourself. Even if you've already bought it, go there, write a review, tell other people what you thought of it. I know that many of you listening to this have bought the book and have read it. So tell other people about it. It is on Amazon. You can go there and write a review. Yeah. That's right. So, all right. Head over to quantumwealthmastery.com and because we're going to be giving you lots of great information over the next little while and I guess it'll be available forever. Yeah. And we'll see you all next time, everybody. So you're next time and hopefully I'll see you in person get to shake your hand and Scott will do too. That's right. Get a look at the eye, shake your hand and meet you and assist you on your own path to quantum wealthmastery. See you next time. Bye bye. This podcast is a part of the C-suite radio network.
