Chapter 2: How does Daniel Packard define results in personal development?
So I think the listeners and viewers want to know, first and foremost, Daniel, what's your because? What's that purpose for you that allows you to be a light and a resource for others?
Thank you. And it's very clear. And I live it every day. I lived it this morning when I woke up. When I woke up, I was led by my why. And what was that? I went online and I checked the results on our clients because we're very into results. When people work with us, we don't have a lot of shiny language like unlock your potential, be the infinite you. That sounds great.
When you're in pain, just give me some results. If somebody stabs you and you go to the ER, you don't want the doctor to say, hey, let's unlock your infinite potential. It's like, no, man, Just stop the bleeding. I could just do your job, you know? So we're about not shiny language, but just real results. By the way, if there's a doctor listening to this, I would love you to say that in an ER.
Someone walks in choking and you're like, hey, we're going to awaken your greatness. It's like, no, if you could just unblock my windpipe, that would really be great. But we're about results fast. And so I looked at the database of our clients and I could see several clients were already being free of what held them back. It's results is what gets me up in the morning.
And that's because when I was a kid, my dad was a scientist and he said something to me that was pretty profound. He said, you know, a lot of people can have a theory or an idea, but you don't know if that theory or idea is real. You don't know if that person knows what they're talking about. It's the person that gets results. That's the person you should listen to.
That's the person that actually knows what they're talking about. And he said, results matter. And that phrase of results matters. We live in a world with so much noise and opinions and thoughts. It's great. Everyone's got a voice. But hey, sometimes you just want results. And most people don't get results. And I liked getting results. My dad let me use his workshop when I was a kid.
He was very generous. And I became a little kid inventor. I don't know if you remember Ferris Bueller's Day Off. where he had like the pulleys and the things in his room. When I saw that, I thought, ooh, I want to make cool stuff. And so I would invent things in my dad's workshop that got results. It's very satisfying.
And then I went to engineering school where I was properly trained how to look at a seemingly complex, unsolvable problem, how to break it down into its simple mechanical components. Then that's just a theory. Great. But then what do you got to do? You build a prototype, a real thing. And then what do you do? You test it and you see, does it get results?
It often doesn't because it's, and then what do you do? You can spend months, if not years, tweaking and optimizing and refining until something actually just works. The Wright brothers, the plane that actually flew was built four years earlier. It didn't fly. But four years of tweaking, optimizing, refining, finally they got the prototype.

Chapter 3: What key insights does Daniel share about fear as a root cause?
I can't procrastinate. I don't care if I'm like a kid again. And because it was based in our mechanical understanding and system, now we can get others This result, we have a 90% success rate, meaning nine out of 10 people that go through the program in six weeks are free of it. And because we care about results, listen to this audience, we do not charge our clients at the beginning. Why?
We haven't gotten you a result yet. My dad said results matter. Why are we charging you if we haven't helped you yet? We charge you at the end, once you have clear, measurable, permanent results, that what you're struggling with is gone and not coming back. That is my why. That's what gets me excited is because when you're in pain, results matter.
So what I just heard, Daniel, is that you believe in what you do because you're one of the rare breeds. I don't care the business or the entity, right? Where it's like, hey, I'm not guaranteeing it, but I know so much that you're gonna get results or you're not gonna pay me. And most business owners don't do that. And so to me, that says a lot about your programs.
And I'm gonna put an S on there because I went through one of them. And that's why I say that you're one of my mentors because Daniel and I, we talk offline about this. When you're a leader or, and that could be business, that could be your household, that could be your community. If you're seen as the leader, the buck stops with you.
You know, my grandfather used to say, Mick, when your sister cries, you go cry to your grandma and then your grandma cries to me. Well, then who do I go cry to? Right. And so I think what your program did for me was give me grounding that I needed. It gave me peace. And when you talk about results, that's the truth, man. Like literally walk away from a 90 minute session and it's like, holy crap.
Like you feel, I don't want to say an outer body experience because I don't want to scare the listeners and viewers. You know that you finished changed, right? Like you can feel it, like that cooling sensation, right? Like when your hair is standing up on your arms and it's like, what just happened?
And then you realize, not gonna exaggerate, not that I do it every day, but a couple of times a week, I can go back to that and get that same feeling. And so to your point, bro, it just works.
Say it again, Mick. It works. It just works. That right there. In this industry of spirituality, psychology, also just religion, a lot of stuff sounds good and is meaningful and it's nice and it feels good. But does it just work? I'm sorry. No. Maybe temporary. And what you just said, that's what gets me up. It just works. And I want to be clear so the audience understands.
What I'm saying your audience likes. They're like, oh, I want something that works, that addresses the root cause quickly and systematically. But in this industry, they're going to say that's too good to be true. But also, they've tried so many things that haven't worked. So of course, they'll be skeptical. So I want to be clear, we have a six week system.

Chapter 4: Why does Daniel believe traditional psychology falls short?
In productivity, his sales went up. He was also calmer because he got stuff done. He also enjoyed it more because he wasn't delaying and playing catch up. So he enjoyed it more. He was happier, which made him happier at home. And the third thing we track is focus. Usually procrastinators start and stop and start and stop and start and stop.
So he started where he could work consistently for, I think it was... About 12 minutes before he would get distracted. And by the end of the program, by the end of the six weeks, he was up to 90 minutes of consistent focus. So when I say measurement, but not only was his procrastination basically solved and his anxiety was down by about 80%, he was just happier.
He's just, it's exhausting when you're managing this stuff all the time. So by getting to the root cause, by getting people free of this, people are happier, but also they just fulfill their potential. That's what we mean by measurable results.
I love it, man. And I would love without you give everything away anyway, right? Because you do it and it's like, hey, if it doesn't work, you don't pay me. But what are some of the practical strategies and techniques that you actually walk people through? And I don't care if we start with the 90 minute program or the six week program.
What are some of the things that you are going to have people doing during these programs?
So on the one hand, of course, it's a good question. What are some practical strategies and tips and tools? However, the world is filled with strategies, tips, and tools. That's well covered. Your audience has those. I am anti-tip. I am anti-tool. What we are is a system that fully addresses the root cause so that you're free of it. And it's the systematic approach.
If you want to go get a tip and a tool to manage your anxiety, manage your low confidence, There's plenty of people that'll take your money, you manage it, but then it's not gone. What we developed is this system. And I also wanna explain the importance of a system because it'll make your audience have some hope and not blame themselves. To really do real change quickly, you need two key things.
First of all, you need all the tools in one place optimized for one job. What does that mean? When you go to a dentist, they have dentist tools. When you go to a heart surgeon, they have heart surgeon tools. When you hire a contractor, they have contracting tool. It's an optimized toolkit to get one job done. Okay. Your audience usually doesn't do get that.
They go to one guru for one tool, one therapist for another tool. That's fine for management. But if you had a contractor walk up to you and say, hey, we're going to rebuild your house. I got a hammer. I got a really good hammer, man. I'm really good with this hammer. Hammers are great. But would you trust that person to rebuild your house quickly if he just had one hammer? Probably not.

Chapter 5: What practical strategies does Daniel's system offer?
And is that a complicated or a simple thing to get?
Pretty simple to me.
Yeah. Now your audience kind of says, oh, that makes sense. You're right. I am afraid. That's not the big breakthrough. The insight is that that's not what you're told. You're taught, oh, you struggle with procrastination. Let me give you, and you get all these tools to manage the symptom. So if to you, Mick, and your audience, I just want you to feel the compassion. Just repeat after me.
Say, there is nothing wrong with me. There is nothing wrong with me. I don't have multiple problems. I don't have multiple problems.
I just have a fear. I just have a fear. Wow. How's that feel? It's amazing because now I'm going to put it together, right? So when you tell someone, all right, I'm going to help you with procrastination, you haven't helped them solve procrastination. You just have them admit that they've got a problem, right? But you never got to the root cause of actually fixing or solving why it's there.
It's like, to your point of what you said earlier, we're going to manage procrastination. We didn't stop it though. We're just managing it. We're saying it's okay for you to live with it forever, right?
Yeah, and they don't even tell you it's a symptom. They tell you it's a problem. I can't tell you how many things we have solved that actually fear, it's just a symptom of fear. Now we, again, we optimize our program for what we call the funky five. Again, anxiety, procrastination, people pleasing, perfectionism, low confidence. Two weeks ago, a guy, a gentleman, his name was Gordon.
He's from Ontario. He came to us for people pleasing. He went through by end of week five. He said, Daniel, it's incredible. I'm putting myself first. I'm making my needs a priority. I feel healthier. I feel happier. I feel calmer because the fear is gone. And guess what? I said, what? He said, I just went off my Parkinson's medication. Think about that.
I'm not an expert in Parkinson's, but if you're shaking, what if you're shaking partly underneath because there's a fear and that shaking is part of it? I've had people, I had a gentleman who had horrible low confidence, went through about four weeks in. This actually happened to, well, two women, but one woman I'm thinking specifically, her name was Jenny, California.

Chapter 6: How does the six-week program measure success?
We found that the scary, anxious mind, that overthinking mind, that negative mind, that too is a symptom of where fear is actually coming from, which is not the mind, but the root cause of fear is the body.
Yes.
If you have anxiety, do you say, I think anxiety or I feel anxious?
I feel anxious.
And you feel it in your throat, your chest, your heart, your stomach. Is that your mind or your body?
That's the body. I feel it's physical.
It's physical. Is that complicated or simple?
Very simple, sir.
Yeah. And when you went through that 90 minute training, you experienced your fear through the body and the tool that you applied was to your body. And when you applied the tool that you learned, you felt calmer, correct? Much calmer.

Chapter 7: What personal transformations has Daniel experienced?
I'm gonna take C for 200, Alex.
Gold stars and a vacation to Maui for you. Yes, it's the nervous system. Is that complicated or simple? Very simple. Are you kidding me? For a hundred years, modern psychology has been telling people it's a fear and anxiety is a problem of the mind. Anxiety is on the rise. Meanwhile, there's a system in the body literally called the nervous system. And the experts were like, no, it's in the mind.
No, it's really not. It's in the body, in the nervous system. Your nervous system is your body's mechanical threat response system. If it isn't healthy, you feel a feeling called unsafe because you feel like you're under attack. If you feel unsafe, you feel fear.
If you feel fear, it gives rise to anxiety, procrastination, people pleasing, perfection, low confidence, you name it, because we don't feel safe. Now, it's not our childhood that does affect us, and it's not what's going on in the world. While the world is scary and hard, that's not what's causing our nervous system.
What you're gonna discover in this 90-minute training is that there are things that we are doing every day, okay? that are accidentally unknowingly to you making your nervous system malfunction and you feel unsafe from within. It's from you to you. It's like if you have a little bit of extra weight. That's not from your childhood. That's not social media.
It's because you make small dietary choices every day that accumulate in your body because you're taking on more calories than you should burn. It's you to you. So we figured out there's 28 ways you're supposed to be taking care of your nervous system. The average person knows of five and really only does three.
So also when you book a free call with me at the end, I'm going to send you those 28 ways that you should be taking care of yourself, but you don't know to take care of yourself because you don't know to take care of your nervous system. What happens is you feel unsafe. From within low levels of unsafety. Now I've heard people say, well, no, I don't feel unsafe.
And I say, you do feel unsafe and things scare you, but you're in your comfort zone hiding. So you do feel unsafe. You're just hiding in your comfort zone. And people say, oh, that's a really good point. So the reason we're able to get this incredible change in six weeks is because we built this system. It's online. It's automated, which makes it affordable.
You have all the tools in one place and simple, easy to follow instructions. And when you follow the steps and apply the tools consistently, the end result is that you feel just safe. Yeah. So people come to us for anxiety, procrastination, people pleasing, perfection. They come to us for the symptom, but we're addressing the root cause, which is the fear and the safety.

Chapter 8: What exclusive offers are available for listeners?
Right? I think what you do is life-changing. What my buddy Damon John does is game-changing. And you two are the only people that can use those phrases.
Woo, that is high praise, which I will take. And I agree. When I used to do symptom management and go to all these retreats, a friend even had to tell me, I would come back from these retreats and say, oh, it was life-changing. Or I'd read a book and I'd say, oh my God, that book was life-changing.
And a friend actually had to tell me, he said, Daniel, I think at the last like six months, you've said you've had your life changed nine times. Right. And you're not a cat. Right. So just if it's life changing, it shouldn't have to be changed nine times.
So that word does get thrown around, but I use it again scientifically because when that fear is gone, your life is changed and it's changed because it's permanent. It sticks. There's stuff that'll work temporary. This sticks. And when it's permanent, it gives you access to two words that I think people want. They don't even know they want, but it's what they want. The first one is to feel safe.
I've had clients say to me, Daniel, I haven't felt safe since I was seven years old. I was like, I know. Welcome to the club. Waking up every morning feeling safe gives me access to the full me. But when you feel safe permanently, you get a word, which is what we all want. Freedom.
Yes, sir.
You cannot be free and fearful at the same time. I feel like that should be a bumper sticker or something Jesus said. But you cannot be fearful and free at the same time. It just doesn't work that way. You got to pick one or the other. When you permanently don't have the fear, you are free, free to be that best, happiest version of yourself that is comfortable in your own skin.
And again, this all sounds good. It is. But it's the fact that we got it down to six weeks. And you only pay at the end when you have clear measurable results. So to everybody out there, if you're interested, here's how I can help you. I want to offer your audience a free call with me. So if you go to my website and I like things simple. So my name's Daniel Packard.
What do you think my website is? Probably danielpackard.com. Man, you're smart. So smart. More gold stars to you, Mick. All right. So go to danielpackard.com and you can book a free call with me to, we'll have a talk about the six week program to see if it's a good fit for you. You can ask all the questions you want.
