or you visualize the money you're gonna make or you visualize how cool it's gonna be when you're a lifestyle entrepreneur or whatever the hell it is. Don't do that. Visualize working a day job and telling your friends that you're not gonna go out tonight because you're working on something. Visualize making cold calls and being told no.

Visualize not going to that party because you're staying in on a Saturday and not going to the barbecue because you're putting in the work. Visualize sitting at a seminar and learning from other people. Visualize watching YouTube videos. Visualize your first ever course failing miserably.

Well, so I am constantly training my mind to work for me. And there's this little trick that I talk about in the book that is all sort of the beginning of having a high five attitude.

The thing that I know to be true is that you cannot control the things around you. You can't control what's going to happen.
