when you think small, you only see small opportunities
opportunities
and you only take advantage of small opportunities.
opportunities.
And by the way, here's here's here's our
process. Here's our process. When we
think small, when we think small, what
we do
is the first thing we do is we look at a
situation and we say
can I?
And when I say can I, I might be saying
can I afford it? I might be saying like
um can I do it? Like do I have the
ability to do it? Like can I
capability-wise? Like can I? This is
what small thinking says. Can I? And
then when you ask this question, what do
you have to find?
You ask the question to find what?
Answer. And then most people come back.
If the thing looks bigger than you, you
How again? How can I?
Big thinking just asks better questions.
Guess what happens when you say, "How
can I?" Then you start making a list.
Well, I could do this or I could do
that. I could do that. I could do this.
You have to learn to put up a fight
against the small thinking sabotage
mechanism in your mind that talks you
out of all your chances. Yeah.
Is this helping anybody besides me?
So you instead of saying h can I afford
it? Uh uh can I do it um in the amount
of time I have left? Um um can I do it?
Will people accept me? Can I do it? Will
people judge me? Can I do it? Will
people laugh at me if I say this? Well,
no. Just how can I do it? How can I? How
can I? How can I? How can I? How can I?
Okay, how can I? How can I afford it?
Okay, how can I make the time? How can I
find the people that I can partner with?
How can I? I ask better questions. I get
better answers. But the only way to get
better answers is to ask better questions.
questions.
How many y'all tracking?
And so small thinking is so what
happens? You only see small
opportunities. And when you only see
small opportunities, then um you look at
in fact I'm going to go to another page.
So here's what happens when I only see
small opportunities.
I look at me in the mirror
and then I think of me as small. I won't
say that out loud, but it's how I feel,
right? And how can you tell if you think
you're small? When you look at something
and you think it's too big for you, then
you think you're small.
When you look at something uh and you
say, "Well, I can't do that because I
don't know how to blah blah blah." And
you say that as if that statement of
Like you didn't know how to walk when
you landed on this planet, but you
figured it out.
Couldn't talk either, count, read,
drive, ride a bike. Look at all those. I
always tell people, if you want proof
that there's nothing you can't learn,
just look in the rearview mirror of your
life at all the things you've already
learned. And that should let you know
there's nothing you can't learn. Cuz
whatever the thing is you're facing,
you've already learned how to do a whole
lot of other stuff that's way harder
than that. Especially living in the age
we live in now where there's all this
technology to help you figure it out. Is
what I'm saying making sense? And so, so
you look at you look at yourself, you
look at me, me, I'm small. And then you
and the market's small. So there are all
these people in this market, you know,
and you're like, the market's just not
that big. There aren't that many people
who want it. And so before you even
write the book, create the course,
launch the software, create the
membership site, whatever, whatever,
whatever, you you build your YouTube
channel, your Instagram profile, your
Tik Tok following, your Tik Tok shop,
your Amazon influencer account before
you take advantage of all of these
opportunities we have available today.
Cuz there's never been a time in human
history where it's been easier to create
wealth than right now. But it doesn't
feel like it because the cultural
hypnotic pro the cultural hypnotic
societal mechanism has programmed you to
believe that you are smaller than all
And so you look at the market, well the
market's not that big. I started out in
what you would think is a small market.
Like when I started training, the only
thing I knew is network marketing and
sales. So I started training network
marketers and I thought this and and I
thought I was making big money.
Like I'd go do a seminar for some
network marketers and I'd make five,
six, $7,000 on a Saturday morning
teaching network marketers how to do
network marketing. Now, five, six,
seven, eight, nine, $10,000. And then
sometimes I it like then I'd started
teaching people how to sell and I made
even more money. And so I wrote a book
and I'd sell lots of books. And once I
figured out how to sell lots of books, I
started teaching people how to write
books and sell books.
And I'd develop a skill and then I'd
figure out how to do it. And then I'd
create a course to teach other people
how to do it. And I'd sell it to people
and I' guess what I discovered? There's
a big market. But guess what? I knew
there was a big market of people with
small amounts of money.
But because my thinking was small, my
income, though it was big, was smaller
than it needed to be because my prices
were small because the only people that
I could perceive in the marketplace were
See, that hit you, didn't it?
And see, so the average person would
look out and say, 'Well, it's this way.
No, it's not that way. You're that way.
And I know cuz I used to be that way. We
don't see things as they are. We see
things as we are.
And so when I look at the opportunities,
the opportunities don't look that im
they don't look that large, that immense
because like if it was immense, it'd be
obviously for somebody other than me.
How could that immense opportunity be
for me?
You know what happened?
I had a breakthrough. I went to a Robert
Allen wealth retreat and
and
I had already read a bunch of his books,
multiple streams of internet income. Um
um the one minute millionaire, I had
already interviewed him for his one
minute millionaire book for my newspaper
that I launched. I launched a newspaper
that made me so it was so crazy. He's a
four-page newspaper, maybe so much
money. I'll tell you that story in a
minute. So,
so I'm at Robert Allen's wealth retreat
and he says, "Hey, does anybody have a
testimonial?" I I go up, "Yeah, I've got
a testimonial." Like, "Yeah." Um, he
calls me up on stage. I'm like, "Yeah,
man. I read your book, Multiple Stress
of Income. I listened to your your six
CD series called Infopreneuring, and I
did all the stuff you said." He said,
and I said, I said, "My expenses are
only like 5,000 a month and I make
30,000 a month and I live like a king."
You know what he said? He said, "Wow,
you're you're on the verge of a
breakthrough. You're about to break
through through to really big money and
I'm on stage in front of 700 people."
And I thought to myself, "Did he just
diss my 30,000 a month in front of 700
people?" That was my first thought. That
was my first small thinking thought. My
second small thinking thought was,
"Wait, there's a level
where 30,000 a month is not that much money?"
H that would have never occurred to me
had that not happened. Are y'all
tracking? I had something re happen like
that recently to me again.
Right. Um I remember my wife and I, we
went to see my wife's we were we were
having dinner with my wife's brother's
brother's
in-laws, his father-in-law and
mother-in-law, and they were in the
cattle business. They were like, "Yeah,
we bought these cows for $5,000 and they
had calves and then we took them to the
market and we sold them for $7,000 and
I'm" and they were talking about $5,000
and $7,000. This is way back in the day,
this is back in the '90s, back before I
even 20,000 a month ever entered my
brain, right? And they were talking
about $5,000 like it was $5. And when we
left, I said, "Did you notice how they
were talking about $5,000 like it was
$5?" She's like, "Yeah." I like, "Oh."
And so it made me realize there are
levels to this game. And see, a lot of
times what happens when people who are a
little bit further than you on their
financial journey, when they're talking
about numbers that are just normal
numbers to them, you think they're flexing
when they're just experiencing life the
way they experiencing life. Like
to me, I I've got students that we've
helped have million-dollar days. So to
me, a million dollars in a day is not
flex. There's nothing flex about. I
mean, 5 billion, okay, maybe a little flexish,
flexish,
right? And and and but it's a different
way of thinking. When you expose
yourself to people who think bigger,
their big thinking is one of the only
ways that you can see how small your
thinking has been.
Does that make sense?
Okay, cool. So, so you see your market
as small and then
you see then you see the money as small.
What does that mean? Well, you think the
market's small. There's only a handful
of people in this market and they can
only afford a little bit of money. So,
you don't even put a dollar sign. You
just put a one a cent sign. They can't
afford that much money. So, I only
charge them a little bit of money. So,
little old me goes my little old market.
I charge a little bit of money. And I
wonder why I can't get I wonder why I
can't get ahead. The reason you can't
get ahead, the reason you're struggling
on your success quest is because your
thinking is too small.
By the way, thinking big, like thinking
a hundred times bigger than you think
right now, doesn't cost a hundred times
more. It costs the same amount of energy.
energy.
You just have to break the programming
that the cultural hypnotic societal
mechanism put on you so they can keep
their thumb on you your whole life.
Okay, cool. So, y'all get that? So, when
you uh when you think small, you only
see small opportunities and then you
only speak about small opportunities. So
when you talk, you talk about small
opportunities. So here's here's what we
have to understand. Our words are not
just a communication tool. Our words are
the window through which we see the
world. And so if you
talk small
about small things, then it blinds you
to the bigger opportunities.
Are you understanding what I'm saying?
And so I'm glad that I got exposed to
Bill Travis in 1985
who was this jovial old man with a white
beard. It's funny because now I'm a
jovial jovial
seasoned demand with a white beard.
Okay. Anyway, so I got exposed to Bill
Travis in 1985 and he was making $10,000
a month in 1985.
And I was like, if this dude's making
10,000 a month, I know I'm fixing to get rich.
Then I got exposed to my man Ben Ginder
in um 1995
in this network marketing company and he
had been in it for a couple of months
and he was making 60,000. I probably
shouldn't have said his last name but
back then he was he was making he makes
more than said he was making 60,000 a
month like and he show I saw the checks
so I knew he was this was not theory.
It was like check flex in multi-level
marketing, right? Check flex. This is
how you're recouping. Check flex. And
and so I'm like, if this guy who grew up
on a farm, an Amish farm in Pennsylvania
is making 60,000 a month. I know I'm
going to get rich. He's one of my
dearest friends, one of my best friends,
one of my best mentors ever. I Anyway, I
was in his organization. He would go
with me to different places around the
country, actually around the world, and
we'd go recruit people for my
organization. And just watching him
operate was different, right? And so you
only see small opportunities
and you only speak small. And Ben didn't
speak small. Ben lived large lives large like
like
I mean and he would let me drive his
fanciful cars. He'd let me drive his his
Lamborghini. He let me he let me drive
his his Aston Martin and his Ferrari.
He's like, "Man, are you going to go or
what?" I'm like, "Ban, I'm already going
like 120. Like, come on, man. Let's go.
Let's go." I'm like, "What are we doing
here, bro?"
Anyway, I was young and dumb. I don't do
that anymore. We were both younger and
dumber than than we are now. And I
remember one time when my when we were
in Jacksonville, Florida, Ben came to
Jacksonville, and we were going to do a
an event, and he was going to do an
event with me, and he got to my house,
and he in his he came in his his
Rolls-Royce or his Mentley or his Yeah,
it was his Rolls-Royce or his Mently, I
don't remember which one. It was
probably his Bentley. I don't remember.
Anyway, so he's at my house. It's time
for me to pick up my kids to school. I
said, "I got to get my kids from
school." He said, "Well, let's go." And
so he rolls up in his Bentley and picks
This is the coolest thing ever.
And just being exposed to people who
think bigger changed my life in ways
that I didn't think about until I
started thinking about it now. Right.
And so, so I stopped talking about small
things. I I mean to the point where I
like I love small talk. Like I hate it.
It's like small talk for me is like
fingernails on a chalkboard.
I don't want to talk about what happened
in the news. I don't I can't do anything
about it. Um but my how will you know
what's going on in the world? I got a
good question for you. That's a good
question. Let me ask you a better
question. If you can't fix what's going
on in your world, what are you going to
do about the problems going on in the B world?
world?
Why you watching the bad news? Why would
you fill your mind with a bunch of
problems that you have no ability to
solve that rob your brain power of the
energy to solve the problems you can solve?
solve?
That's time you could be learning a new
skill. Anyway, not going to go there. So
being around people
who think bigger
causes you to think bigger. And
so I recently got I I've got this new
friend. He's a he's a billionaire and
I'm not going to say his name. Um, and
we're having a conversation
and well, the first time I ever met him,
he had this conversation and he talked
about how he got a government contract
in New York. And with that government
contract, he made like $400 million in
two weeks.
And I'm like, I know it's easier to make
a lot of money in a short period of time
is to make a little money over a long
period of time. Oh, boy. Why you got to
do that to me, right? Why you got to
come out like that? I'm like, you know,
I've never made $400 million in two
weeks. But now, at least I know someone
who has, which means as my dad, if my
dad was right, if they can do it, you
can do it.
So, this guy took a liking to me and I
took a liking to him. He was just a
really, he's a really nice guy and, you
know, I'm fairly nice sometimes. And and
so, he came to Tampa. spent the day
together and he just like tilled back
the curtains.
And a couple of things he said to me
made me realize how small my big
And he said, he said, "My
family's business did $37 billion last year."
year."
And he said, "So when he came to Tampa,
I chartered a yacht. We sailed from
Tampa to St. Pete, ate lunch at Doc
Fords, sailed back. On the way there, he
told me his story. On the way back, I
told him mine.
And he said,
"I haven't paid taxes since 2001."
He said, "And we don't break any of the
rules. We just use the rules
that were made in our favor." I'm like,
"Sign me up for a whole bunch of that
right there." And then on the way back,
I told him my story. Here's what he said
to me. He said, "Myron, you're doing
really, really good. Your story is amazing.
amazing.
Bring it. Bring it." Here's what he said.
said.
He said, 'If you do what I tell you to do,
do,
you should be able to accumulate $300
million worth of real estate in the next
Now, I'm a big thinker.
And I'm like, I'm going to $300 million.
That's my first little squeaky voice
self-sabotaging small thinking brain
coming out where you get $300 million.
And the beautiful part is
doesn't matter.
One of the biggest things that keeps
is asking
how do I do this instead of deciding I'm
going to do this because some like big
things sometimes you don't get to see
the whole picture up front. You only get
to see the first step
and you only get to see the second step
So I'm studying all the stuff he showed
me. Then I went to Miami and spent the
day with him again. So if you only see
small opportunities
and you only speak about small
opportunities cuz I I I see some
people's businesses.
Um I've got one client and she is one of
the hard she does really well with her
money. She makes millions of dollars a
year, but she's always working.
She's always on call, always on the
phone. I'm like, I don't I don't want to
make money that bad. I don't personally.
I don't I don't like being I'm not on
around the clock. I'm on when I'm on and
when I'm off, leave me alone.
Keeping it real. And
And
one of the reasons she works all the
time is because all of her prices are
So when you only see small
opportunities, you only speak about
small opportunities, then you can only
seize small opportunities.
And one of the reasons, I promise, one
of the reasons you're struggling right
now is because you are thinking too small.
small.
and exposing yourself to people who
think bigger so that you can start to
exercise your atrophied big thinking muscles
muscles
is one of the most important things you
can do. More important than learning how
to do a thing is learning how to become
the person who can do it.
Because if you learn how to become the
person who can do it, you will figure
out the how.
How many of y'all tracking? Wave at me.
And that's why I say small is your
biggest problem.
And big thinking is the missing piece to
your success puzzle. So now that you
know what the piece is,
here's my question for you. Are you
going to put the puzzle together
or are you just going to sit there and
look at the box? Thanks for watching. I
hope this video helps you. Stay blessed
by the best and we'll see you in the
