1
00:00:00,620 --> 00:00:06,830
Lesson for this lesson is called the power of positivity, and it shows you how to rewire your brain,

2
00:00:06,950 --> 00:00:11,780
to focus on the positive and to focus on what you can actually control in life.

3
00:00:12,350 --> 00:00:19,040
And ultimately, the goal is so you can control your attitude, control how you react and overall enhance

4
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:19,580
your life.

5
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:28,950
So I want to go over why this lesson is important, as you see here, this smiling baby that automatically

6
00:00:28,950 --> 00:00:31,950
has a subconscious effect on us because.

7
00:00:32,860 --> 00:00:40,780
Positivity and the ability to smile in any situation, just be completely, you know, positive is one

8
00:00:40,780 --> 00:00:43,990
of the most influential traits that humans have.

9
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:48,280
But unfortunately, it is easily forgotten, especially as you grow up.

10
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,560
But babies know how to use this.

11
00:00:50,850 --> 00:00:52,810
They have this always in their back pocket.

12
00:00:53,110 --> 00:00:55,750
They can always just start smiling and laughing.

13
00:00:55,750 --> 00:01:00,160
And no matter what they just did before to upset you, they could have just, you know, threw up all

14
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:00,550
over you.

15
00:01:00,970 --> 00:01:03,130
These don't laugh, you know, you're not going to be upset.

16
00:01:03,430 --> 00:01:06,790
You're just going to be kind of sucked into that emotion.

17
00:01:07,060 --> 00:01:13,630
And what I want you to understand is that millionaires and having a millionaire mindset, it's all about

18
00:01:13,630 --> 00:01:14,260
the same thing.

19
00:01:14,260 --> 00:01:16,510
It's about being positive no matter what.

20
00:01:16,750 --> 00:01:20,320
This doesn't go away as you get older, and it shouldn't.

21
00:01:22,970 --> 00:01:28,370
So the single most valuable asset is the ability to stay positive.

22
00:01:29,310 --> 00:01:36,570
And this lesson is called the power of positivity because it has such an influential power like we just

23
00:01:36,570 --> 00:01:37,140
spoke about.

24
00:01:37,380 --> 00:01:42,240
And the truth is a great attitude is worth much more than a great product.

25
00:01:42,540 --> 00:01:48,540
People will pay more, clients will pay you more, will pay a freelancer more if they have a better

26
00:01:48,540 --> 00:01:49,140
attitude.

27
00:01:49,530 --> 00:01:54,720
This is why it's so vital to be positive at all times, whether things are going good or things are

28
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:55,380
going bad.

29
00:01:55,740 --> 00:02:00,780
Whether a client is upset about something or whether they're extremely happy about something, you need

30
00:02:00,780 --> 00:02:03,900
to make sure that you're always staying positive.

31
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,660
And this all starts with your daily attitude.

32
00:02:06,900 --> 00:02:13,560
What you tell yourself every day how you act every single day this is what builds on each other day

33
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:18,780
after day and ultimately creates a personality and a persona of positivity.

34
00:02:19,050 --> 00:02:24,240
So when people think about you, they think about you and your positivity that you make them feel.

35
00:02:24,660 --> 00:02:29,340
Because people don't remember what you said all the time, but they always remember how you made them

36
00:02:29,340 --> 00:02:29,790
feel.

37
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,160
And your attitude is controlled by your thoughts.

38
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,450
So starting to rewire this, how can you stay positive?

39
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:43,720
Well, you can start controlling what your thoughts are and what you're telling yourself and how can

40
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:44,200
you do that?

41
00:02:44,210 --> 00:02:49,300
You might be asking, Well, your thoughts are controlled by the content of your mind.

42
00:02:49,810 --> 00:02:52,870
And this is where the actual control comes in.

43
00:02:52,870 --> 00:02:53,680
Because guess what?

44
00:02:54,010 --> 00:03:00,610
You are the one that controls what you put in your mind, because the contents of your mind are what

45
00:03:00,610 --> 00:03:01,330
your thoughts are.

46
00:03:02,140 --> 00:03:04,180
How can you start to control this well?

47
00:03:04,510 --> 00:03:08,530
Treat your mind and treat your body and everything like it's a sacred space.

48
00:03:08,860 --> 00:03:10,840
Don't let any negativity in.

49
00:03:11,170 --> 00:03:16,900
This might be very difficult, because even if you just ask yourself before you started watching this

50
00:03:16,900 --> 00:03:18,760
lesson today, what have you consumed?

51
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:19,420
That's negative.

52
00:03:19,690 --> 00:03:22,990
Unfortunately, most people have already consumed multiple things.

53
00:03:23,290 --> 00:03:25,660
From the time they wake up, they looked on Instagram.

54
00:03:25,660 --> 00:03:26,830
They looked at the news.

55
00:03:27,100 --> 00:03:29,380
Something negative probably came your way.

56
00:03:30,620 --> 00:03:32,720
And that is what is impacting you.

57
00:03:33,050 --> 00:03:35,720
That is what is affecting the contents of your mind.

58
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:36,620
So what can you do?

59
00:03:37,100 --> 00:03:40,130
Make a decision to cut out all negativity?

60
00:03:40,850 --> 00:03:45,830
You are a product of your environment, whether you believe it or not, the people you surround yourself

61
00:03:45,830 --> 00:03:52,520
with, what you watch on TV, what you scroll, you know on your social media, feeds, rumors and the

62
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,180
conspiracy theories that you're listening to and giving energy to.

63
00:03:56,540 --> 00:03:59,600
All of that is making up who you are.

64
00:03:59,930 --> 00:04:04,940
So it's not just a saying you really are the product of your environment, and that's why millionaires

65
00:04:04,940 --> 00:04:07,250
and billionaires and you know, anyone successful.

66
00:04:07,550 --> 00:04:14,000
They understand this and they treat their environment with the most respect that they can.

67
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:21,010
And this is a drill right now, like we just said, ask yourself, what did you already receive since

68
00:04:21,010 --> 00:04:22,000
you woke up this morning?

69
00:04:22,090 --> 00:04:25,690
You might have thought about a couple of things, but right now I want you to now physically write it

70
00:04:25,690 --> 00:04:26,020
down.

71
00:04:26,470 --> 00:04:27,940
What content is in your mind?

72
00:04:28,450 --> 00:04:31,720
Did you spend time watching something motivational or training?

73
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:38,050
What I want you to do is write down what you did today so far, because now you can start to analyze

74
00:04:38,050 --> 00:04:38,260
that.

75
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:44,110
And if you do this on a daily basis, now you can see what is contributing and what is helping you stay

76
00:04:44,110 --> 00:04:46,990
positive and what is actually dragging you down.

77
00:04:48,900 --> 00:04:53,100
And step one, now that you have this written down, is to start to clean up your environment.

78
00:04:53,490 --> 00:04:57,990
So this isn't just your physical environment, this is also your digital environment.

79
00:04:57,990 --> 00:05:01,890
So that means no one first, just clean your bedroom.

80
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,880
You know, if you have clothes all over the ground, if you're not making your bed, that's literally

81
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:06,540
step one.

82
00:05:06,540 --> 00:05:09,780
You need to get that in order and then start to go down the line.

83
00:05:10,170 --> 00:05:11,300
Get your house in order.

84
00:05:11,310 --> 00:05:12,960
Get your home office in order.

85
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,510
Start to put up things that motivate you.

86
00:05:15,510 --> 00:05:21,300
Positivity quotes, art, you know, whatever kind of resonates with you, and then go into your digital

87
00:05:21,300 --> 00:05:21,720
life.

88
00:05:21,900 --> 00:05:23,850
Who are you following on social media?

89
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,720
Who are you giving power to and not even realizing it?

90
00:05:28,110 --> 00:05:30,150
Remember, you don't owe anything to anyone.

91
00:05:30,150 --> 00:05:34,320
Just because you went to high school with someone doesn't mean you need to still look at their content

92
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:35,820
every single day on Facebook.

93
00:05:36,210 --> 00:05:37,260
It could be negative.

94
00:05:38,380 --> 00:05:45,520
So next, understand that having a positive attitude is contagious, like I said, so people act how

95
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:46,270
you treat them.

96
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:51,400
And this goes into freelancing and it works into freelancing in a lot of different ways.

97
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:57,670
But how you treat people and if you use positivity, you can be very, very influential.

98
00:05:57,670 --> 00:06:03,040
So even if a client is yelling at you or is unhappy with something or it could be out of your control,

99
00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:07,150
you need to always have this positive attitude and it doesn't mean you ignore them.

100
00:06:07,390 --> 00:06:09,130
You tell them, you understand.

101
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:10,960
You consult with them.

102
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:15,460
You tell them that you're going to get through this, but you need to stay positive.

103
00:06:15,460 --> 00:06:17,170
You can't act out of emotion.

104
00:06:17,170 --> 00:06:21,550
You can't let negativity take over because that is what's contagious.

105
00:06:21,550 --> 00:06:25,210
And if you start like arguing or something, that is going to be the downfall.

106
00:06:25,220 --> 00:06:29,740
So remember, people act how you treat them even when things aren't going good.

107
00:06:30,340 --> 00:06:33,160
And the next thing I want to talk about is the placebo effect.

108
00:06:33,580 --> 00:06:39,280
This is what proves that your mind actually has control over your entire body.

109
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:47,350
The placebo effect is known to occur when, let's say, for example, a person takes a pill and another

110
00:06:47,350 --> 00:06:50,890
person takes a pill that actually is just a sugar pill.

111
00:06:51,130 --> 00:06:56,500
And what happens is they look at that it's what's called a double blind study and the person that got

112
00:06:56,500 --> 00:07:01,580
the real pill for whatever it is, medication or whatever, and the person that got the sugar pill.

113
00:07:02,060 --> 00:07:08,230
Oftentimes, they both report feeling similar things, but you might ask yourself, Well, how can that

114
00:07:08,230 --> 00:07:08,600
occur?

115
00:07:08,620 --> 00:07:13,270
How can someone have an impact of something if it's just a sugar pill?

116
00:07:13,630 --> 00:07:19,990
Well, look it up because it's called the placebo effect, and it's been proven that the content of

117
00:07:19,990 --> 00:07:27,010
your mind and what you tell yourself has the literal ability to rewire your physical body and your physical

118
00:07:27,010 --> 00:07:28,000
state of being.

119
00:07:30,260 --> 00:07:36,770
And lastly, you got to just kill them with kindness, no matter what happens in life, there's always

120
00:07:36,770 --> 00:07:42,130
going to be no negativity that comes up negative situations and you have to stay calm.

121
00:07:42,140 --> 00:07:45,540
You have to keep that light in your eyes and stay positive.

122
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,310
This is ultimately what is going to separate you from your competition.

123
00:07:49,670 --> 00:07:51,620
You have to do what other people won't do.

124
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:56,720
And when other people aren't being positive, be even more positive than you can imagine.

125
00:07:56,730 --> 00:07:59,180
That is how you're going to be a profitable freelancer.

126
00:07:59,450 --> 00:08:01,940
That is how you're going to use the power of positivity.

127
00:08:02,180 --> 00:08:07,940
And next, I want to get into how you can stay positive, some action based things you can do.

128
00:08:09,030 --> 00:08:15,960
First, it might sound simple, but you need to make the decision to be positive in the first place.

129
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:20,820
Make the decision that you are going to be viewed as a positive person.

130
00:08:21,150 --> 00:08:25,110
So if you have any fears, you need to confront this right now.

131
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:29,630
If you're scared to kind of get out there, you're scared to build a personal brand or to, you know,

132
00:08:29,700 --> 00:08:31,170
be on camera or be on the phone.

133
00:08:31,470 --> 00:08:33,840
Understand that there's no reason to be scared.

134
00:08:34,110 --> 00:08:40,080
All you have to do is just stay positive and decide you're going to be viewed as a positive person.

135
00:08:40,380 --> 00:08:44,650
That's how you're going to start acting positive next.

136
00:08:44,670 --> 00:08:47,700
Like we said, smile, even babies know this trick.

137
00:08:48,330 --> 00:08:50,970
Start seeing problems as opportunities.

138
00:08:51,270 --> 00:08:52,730
We're going to get into this more and more.

139
00:08:52,740 --> 00:08:58,270
But as a freelancer and as a successful entrepreneur, look at the world in a different way.

140
00:08:58,290 --> 00:09:01,980
Once you start seeing problems as opportunities, you can solve.

141
00:09:02,370 --> 00:09:07,470
Number one, it makes life more fun, and when life's more fun, it makes you more positive.

142
00:09:08,310 --> 00:09:10,290
Next, talk positively.

143
00:09:10,500 --> 00:09:12,090
Speak positively.

144
00:09:12,300 --> 00:09:15,300
The words you use your vocabulary.

145
00:09:15,450 --> 00:09:16,910
Even your tone of voice.

146
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:21,540
You know, whether you use curse words, every other word, all of that impacts how you feel.

147
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,680
It impacts the content of your mind, and it impacts how positive you can be.

148
00:09:25,950 --> 00:09:31,260
So make sure you're using the best words to actually convey a positive mindset.

149
00:09:32,380 --> 00:09:37,660
And have a plan you need to have a plan, you need to know where you're going in order to get there.

150
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:44,870
Next, like we spoke about, taking massive levels of action is another way to stay positive because

151
00:09:44,870 --> 00:09:48,860
you're never kind of sulking on any loss or any setback.

152
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:54,110
When you're always taking new actions, you're always staying positive because you're working on that

153
00:09:54,110 --> 00:09:54,890
next goal.

154
00:09:55,070 --> 00:09:56,080
How can you improve?

155
00:09:56,090 --> 00:09:57,380
How can you do things better?

156
00:09:58,610 --> 00:10:03,830
Consuming positive content, this is another one, this can be even just things that make you feel good.

157
00:10:03,860 --> 00:10:07,880
Another positive content forum I like to consume is podcasts.

158
00:10:08,150 --> 00:10:09,950
Listening to positive podcasts.

159
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:11,690
People that are in the business world.

160
00:10:11,690 --> 00:10:13,310
People that I look up to.

161
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:18,830
It's all about consuming things that make you feel good and that makes you have this positive outlook.

162
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:23,990
That's how you can ultimately stay positive and control when you start to feel negative.

163
00:10:25,110 --> 00:10:26,430
Next, never complain.

164
00:10:26,730 --> 00:10:32,160
You need to cut complaints out, and another drill, you know, I've heard is really effective and that

165
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,010
I've tried before and you know, it's very difficult.

166
00:10:35,010 --> 00:10:38,010
It's just never complained for as long as you can.

167
00:10:38,010 --> 00:10:39,810
So let's just try for 24 hours.

168
00:10:40,170 --> 00:10:44,520
You were going to see, no matter what, you're either going to say something to yourself, you're going

169
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:48,600
to complain about something you know, your back's going to hurt or you're not going to want to do something.

170
00:10:48,810 --> 00:10:54,450
You're not going to want to do a chore or the dishes, but try to tell yourself not to complain.

171
00:10:54,450 --> 00:10:59,150
And instead of saying, Oh, I have to do this, say I get to do this.

172
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:03,270
So instead of saying, Oh, I have to go to work now or I have to make this call, I don't want to make

173
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:08,820
try to rewire your brain, try to stay positive, remember why you're doing this and tell yourself,

174
00:11:08,820 --> 00:11:10,060
I get to do this.

175
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:11,910
That's how you can stay more positive.

176
00:11:13,110 --> 00:11:14,280
You'd always be grateful.

177
00:11:14,820 --> 00:11:17,430
Remember your why in all circumstances.

178
00:11:18,850 --> 00:11:25,240
Next, focus on the solution, not the problem, you need to focus on the ways you can actually provide

179
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:32,020
solutions, provide value, provide alternative courses of action, not just focus on what the problem

180
00:11:32,020 --> 00:11:33,760
is and get hung up on it.

181
00:11:35,300 --> 00:11:40,610
And motivating others around you is another great way to stay positive when you're just focused on yourself

182
00:11:40,820 --> 00:11:43,220
and you're just caught up in your own mind frame.

183
00:11:43,700 --> 00:11:45,890
You're not really thinking big enough.

184
00:11:45,890 --> 00:11:49,310
Think about how you can help your family, how you can help your community.

185
00:11:49,700 --> 00:11:54,830
All of a sudden, I'm sure if you were thinking negative now you're thinking from a much more positive

186
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:59,870
place because you're thinking about how you can motivate others around you, and that's much bigger

187
00:11:59,870 --> 00:12:00,770
than just yourself.

188
00:12:01,910 --> 00:12:09,590
And lastly, always seek new challenges out how to stay positive might seem like an impossible thing,

189
00:12:09,770 --> 00:12:14,480
but when you do these things, when you're always seeking new challenges, you're always looking to

190
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:15,470
improve yourself.

191
00:12:15,710 --> 00:12:20,990
I promise you you're going to start feeling much more positive than when you did those other things

192
00:12:21,140 --> 00:12:27,200
and those other courses of action that were more of just a subconscious trap that you have been brainwashed

193
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:27,470
to.

194
00:12:27,770 --> 00:12:30,980
So I really hope that this was a helpful lesson for you.

195
00:12:31,370 --> 00:12:38,510
Now, you know how to harness the power of positivity to be the most profitable freelancer imaginable.
