Improvement pill here so I was watching this new documentary about Bill Gates on
Netflix the other day he said something very interesting in the first episode he
said word for word you have to pick a pretty finite number of things to tell
your mind to work on you have to decide what you should care about and he's
right because if you think about it our brain is essentially a problem-solving
machine right we have the ability to think about the past in order to prevent
problems that we've already experienced from happening again and we have the
ability to think about the future imagining hypothetical scenarios solving
problems before they even exist our brain is constantly trying to solve
problems non-stop even when we're not paying attention to it it's running in
the background coming up with new ideas trying to find solutions and it's
actually extremely good at this so good in fact that your brain can make any of
your wishes and desires come true that is if you know how to use it correctly
so today I'm going to go over a simple three-step process for using your brain
the right way make sure you watch this video to the very end if you want to
make your dreams come true step number one you must instill belief we don't
believe you can do something your brain won't even bother to try and solve that
problem for example if deep down inside you don't really believe that you'll be
able to one day own and run a successful business then your brain is not going to
come up with business ideas it's not gonna push you to figuring out all the
little components needed to make this dream come true like how do you set up
the business how do you get the logo how do you manufacture the product etc
because it thinks the entire idea is impossible it's going to think why
should I focus on figuring out all the smaller components of starting a
business when we don't even believe that we'll ever run a successful business
it's a waste of time instead it'll focus on what it thinks is possible for you to
actually accomplish like how do I do better in school or how do I climb the
corporate ladder or even how can I get better at this video game you need to
genuinely believe that you are capable of doing something in order for your
brain to start working on solving that problem but how
do you do this it's simple all you got to do is look for one small win when I
started my online entrepreneurial journey before I made any money all I
thought about was okay I just need to make a hundred dollars online in the
form of passive income next month which is like a thousand times more
believable than making a hundred thousand dollars passive income every
month and because I set my eyes on such a small win it wasn't really hard to
convince myself that this was possible and my brain was extremely focused on
figuring out a solution to this problem it thought to itself this is definitely
doable so I'm gonna figure out how to do it and once I got that small win it
became very easy to scale up if I can make a hundred dollars in a month
it's not so hard to believe that I can eventually make five hundred dollars in
a month and once I've done that I can convince myself that I'll make a
thousand dollars and then two thousand dollars and so on instead of trying to
convince yourself that you'll be a social butterfly and the life of a party
one day you should focus on daydreaming about one day simply being able to say
hello to some strangers instead of trying to convince yourself that one day
you'll have the body of a Greek god you should focus on daydreaming about just
losing five pounds and having a slightly smaller stomach focus on getting your
first small win something that you genuinely believe that you can do and
then scale up from there step number two you have to feed your brain the large
majority of us solve problems by combining stuff that other people have
already discovered 99.9% of all inventions are simply a combination of
things that had already existed before for example the bicycle helmet was a
combination of a ship's bow which is the front of the ship plastic and foam in
order for your brain to come up with solutions for your problems it needs to
have access to stuff that other people have already figured out so that it can
play around with different combinations and come up with solutions so you got to
feed your brain for example if you hope to one day build a successful business
then you should be spending some time on forums like reddit calm entrepreneur or
watching videos of people documenting their journey on YouTube or reading
books about successful entrepreneurs just so you can feed your
ideas that have actually worked out for other people before if you hope to one
day improve your social skills and make tons of friends or even get a girlfriend
slash boyfriend then you need to be spending time on forums like ready calm
social skills going through courses like the befriend course or reading social
skill related books regardless of what sort of goals and desires you have you
need to be feeding your brain the right materials in order for it to solve those
problems and finally step number three you need to be feeding it every single
day using your brains I make your dreams come true is sort of like operating a
steam engine powered train that also suffers from ADHD it's going to take a
while for you to reach your destination aka your goal and there's going to be a
bunch of little problems your brain needs to solve in order to pull
something off like building a successful business so you got to keep stuffing
coal into this train you got to keep feeding your brain otherwise you're just
gonna stop half way before reaching your final destination on top of that this
train is also very easily distracted if you stop feeding it thoughts and content
about a solution you want to solve and you instead feed it information about
something else it's gonna think to itself hey it seems like this new
problem is more important why because well it's what the rest of me is
currently thinking about so it must be urgent so I'm gonna go this way and try
to solve those problems first instead of going that way your brain focuses on
whatever you've been feeding it recently so if you feed it information about
health it will think about health if you feed it info about finance it will think
about finance but if you feed it information about
what your friends are doing on social media it will think about that instead
you need to constantly feed it information related to the problems
you're trying to solve so that it remains focused on making your dreams
come true instead of trying to solve problems like I wonder how I can feel
less jealous about that vacation Jim and Mary just took so again in order to use
your brain correctly so we can solve problems and make your dreams come true
you need to instill belief by going for the small wins you need to feed it the
right materials it needs to solve the problem and you need to constantly be
feeding it every single day so it remains focused this episode is
sponsored by audible one of the best ways to implement steps 2 & 3 is by
consuming books because when you're consuming the right books you're feeding
your brain the right information it needs to solve your problems and you're
also feeding it every day I personally prefer listening with audible in most
cases over reading because it allows me to feed my brain during times where I
can't really pull out a physical book such as when I'm working out at the gym
eating food at a restaurant or even when I'm getting a massage audible is
constantly being updated there are new and interesting self-improvement books
being released every single month so if you want to make your dreams come true I
definitely recommend you trying them out go to www.hsn provement pill it's a 500
500 to get a 30 day free trial which gives you one free audiobook and two
audible originals every single month I recommend you guys to listen to why
everything is EFT by Mark Manson which I'm currently listening to it's talks
about how to cultivate hope in the crazy world like the one we currently live in
so definitely check that out besides that guys stay tuned
