In this episode of The Missing Secret Podcast, John shares with the audience something he did with his class at the University of Texas. John had a student play the 20-year-old version of John Mitchell. And John played the current version. John then imparted lessons to the 20-year-old version of himself that would make his life way easier and way more successful earlier. And here’s the essence of what it came down to. WORK SMARTER. But most of us are ingrained to just work harder. Big mistake. But the natural question is how do you work smarter?

At the end of the day, it comes down to understanding HOW THE HUMAN MIND WORKS. And the linchpin issue is that 95% of a person’s daily thoughts and actions are unconscious. Once a person gets the PROFOUND RAMIFICATIONS of that, their life is never the same. The BIG DOMINO DROPS. And here’s why. Your success in life comes down to your DAILY ACTIONS. If 95% your daily actions are unconscious, if you are not gaining control over those unconscious daily actions you’re playing the game of life at 5% of your potential.

And here’s the other key thing that comes from that. YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND CONTROLS YOUR LIFE. It’s either your greatest asset or your greatest nemesis and challenge. Contemplate that for minute. Here’s why that’s the case. We are all innately WIRED FOR SURVIVAL. That causes 75% of our thoughts be fear-based and we’re reactive rather than proactive on our agenda. Therefore if you do nothing to override being wired for survival, you live life fear-based and reactive every day. It’s a horrible way to live. But if you take control of your subconscious mind, and feed the succinct articulation of your life yourself each day, it’s a whole new ballgame. You’ll now wired yourself for success, rather than being wired for survival.

So it’s your choice. Do you want your subconscious mind to be your biggest asset, or do you want it to be your greatest challenge that you have to fight every day. It’s up to you. Controlling your subconscious mind only takes 12 minutes a day.

John Mitchell

John’s story is pretty amazing. After spending 20 years as an entrepreneur, John was 50 years old but wasn’t as successful as he thought he should be. To rectify that, he decided to find the “top book in the world” on SUCCESS and apply that book literally Word for Word to his life. That Book is Think & Grow Rich. The book says there’s a SECRET for success, but the author only gives you half the secret. John figured out the full secret and a 12 minute a day technique to apply it.

When John applied his 12 minute a day technique to his life, he saw his yearly income go to over $5 million a year, after 20 years of $200k - 300k per year. The 25 times increase happened because John LEVERAGED himself by applying science to his life.

His daily technique works because it focuses you ONLY on what moves the needle, triples your discipline, and consistently generates new business ideas every week. This happens because of 3 key aspects of the leveraging process.

John’s technique was profiled on the cover of Time Magazine. He teaches it at the University of Texas’ McCombs School of Business, which is one the TOP 5 business schools in the country. He is also the “mental coach” for the head athletic coaches at the University of Texas as well.

At 50, John Mitchell realized he wasn’t living the exceptional life he’d imagined. After 20 years as an entrepreneur earning $200K–$300K a year, he set out to understand the science of success—and found it in Think and Grow Rich. But when he discovered the book only revealed half the secret, John spent two months decoding the rest.

The result was his 12-Minute-a-Day Method—a system that helped him multiply his income by 25x, gain control over his thoughts, and start living intentionally instead of reactively. Today, John and his co-host Kelly Hatfield share how applying this scientific approach to mindset and focus can transform your business, relationships, and life.

If you’re among the 2% ready to reach your full potential, The Missing Secret Podcast will show you how to leverage yourself through science.

In this episode of The Missing Secret Podcast, John and Kelly discuss the idea that self talk establishes your identity. And that’s significant because your identity defines your long-term actions. And your actions ultimately determine your success in life. In this episode John and Kelly play clips from a video by Dr. Joe dispenza – the world acclaimed mind-body expert. So John plays for five minutes of a clip and then John and Kelly discuss what they’re learning.

The first clip talks about how your life is about to change from self talk. Then Joe talks about how people are living on autopilot. And the effect of that is they re-create their past. Also how the negative self talk adversely affects their biochemistry. Then John and Kelly discuss those topics then a clip is played of what actually happens in the body from self talk.The big Takeaway is your self talk determines your identity. And most people have no directed and focused self talk and therefore default to negative self talk.
