  • Love love love
    May 6, 2022 by Tanyamariedube from Canada

    What a great show. I loved listening to your episode with Dave Lorenzo on the 60 Second Sale. As someone who loves sales (but loathed them when I started with cold calls and cold door knocking), I loved what he said about hearing the word “no”. In sales, we are trained to look for the no’s. It makes us really good at it if we can really get into it. What you two were talking about with regard to how our limitations are i’’our minds really resonated with me. I love that because it’s a game changer when you understand that sales is just about helping people solve a massive problem and getting paid for it and then taking imperfect action, get on your feet and have fun. Thanks so much! Love this show.

Mario Fachini [1:01]
Here he is, ladies and gentlemen, Dr. Benjamin Hardy, Ben, how are you feeling today?

Dr. Benjamin Hardy [1:06]
Doing great. Happy to be with you.

Mario Fachini [1:08]
I’m excited to have you here. I know, you’re just a wealth of knowledge, and every time I’ve heard you, you have so much to share. And I just wanted to ask you, why isn’t personality permanent?

Dr. Benjamin Hardy [1:21]
Because you’re not the same person you were five years ago, and you’re not going to be the same person in five years from now. personality changes over time, that’s just normal, changes immensely during your 20s 30s. But it changes throughout the rest of your life as well. And so yeah, it’s but it is a cultural fad, I guess you could say to try to find your true self. But that really is just a fixed mindset.

Mario Fachini [1:45]
Where do you think that has developed from to create that fixed mindset when it’s an ever-changing thing?

Dr. Benjamin Hardy [1:52]
Um, I mean, people, you know, we develop filters, we see the world certain ways. And so, it’s, it’s just easier to assume that things don’t change. You know, like, I have five kids. And our oldest kid who we adopted, we adopted our oldest three, but it’s easy for me to just assume that he’s the same kid he was five years ago, because sometimes he still displays the same behavior. But if I’m actually mindful, and I actually look at the situation, it’s obvious that he’s changed a lot. But I think we just were mentally lazy, you know, it’s part of our brain’s ability to create shortcuts. And so, we fail to notice change when it happens. And also, we don’t spend much of time imagining a different future. A lot of research has gone into this, we kind of assume that who we are today is the person we’re going to always be, even if we already know that we’re a very different person than we were in the past. So, it’s just kind of, it’s a lack of imagination as we grow older.

Mario Fachini [2:45]
That’s interesting. You say that, because there’s a lot of people like yourself who have achieved a lot. And I’m sure you had to envision it and go after it and make it happen. But what do you, how would you describe someone who’s achieved a lot, but then maybe plateaus 10 or 15 years later, versus someone who was never on the track to begin with?

Dr. Benjamin Hardy [3:06]
Well, the person who plateaus probably got caught up in their former persona, or their former identity or their former status, you know, they’ve attached too much meaning to a former aspect of themselves, and they’ve lost a future that stretches them forward. And so I think that that’s very common happens all the time, especially for people who are very successful.

Mario Fachini [3:28]
So, it doesn’t matter if you had success or not, the goal is to keep it going for the rest of your life.

Dr. Benjamin Hardy [3:35]
Well, in psychology, there’s a concept called prospection. And basically, what the idea means is that the thing that makes human beings different from like, let’s just say plants and animals, is that we have the ability to imagine an infinite number of future scenarios, you know, like, I can imagine a million different futures. And I can then choose to commit to one of those futures. And human beings are driven and, and are drawn towards their view of the future. And so, if a person let’s just say, retires, or they, they stopped doing what they’re doing, and they no longer have a future that’s pulling them forward, then their presence is going to really lack meaning, they’re not gonna be able to do much. And so, we all actually, yeah, so imagining futures is essential to being human, but then having a future that gives you meaning, and committing to that future is what gives your life purpose. And so, if you don’t have that, no matter how successful or or bad your past has been, you need a future that’s driving your present, otherwise, you’re not going to be happy.

Mario Fachini [4:31]
How often would you advise someone imagining that future? Is this something they should be doing yearly, every three years, five years, every decade?

Dr. Benjamin Hardy [4:40]
Are you talking about, like, how often did they do the imagination process? Or how far out?

Mario Fachini [4:45]
How far out?

Dr. Benjamin Hardy [4:47]
Oh, I think that there’s again, we all have very different futures at different levels. So, I mean, I don’t think that there’s one, you know, you can imagine your future next week in addition to next year and in 20 years from now. I don’t think that I mean, I like three-year timeframes, three, three years is good. But really what matters is mostly, the timeframe has to be relevant to whatever future you’re personally trying to create right now. So, if you have a massive goal, it may actually be 20 years out, but you still probably want to chunk that down to like, two to three years. And so, if you can find a relevant and a meaningful time to build that future around, that’s always better. So, for example, literally, today is my eight-year anniversary with my wife,

Mario Fachini [5:29]
Congratulations.

Dr. Benjamin Hardy [5:30]
Yeah, I think, Thank you. One of the things we did though, was we created a time capsule, that we’re gonna open on our 10th anniversary. So, like, I know, in two years from now, I’m gonna open a time capsule, and in that time capsule, I created predictions about where I thought I was going to be. So that’s a timeline that’s organic, you know, I could, I could create my future self-two years from now. And I could work to build that. So, I think it’s good to have timelines that are, are relevant and meaningful to something that’s in your life.

Mario Fachini [5:56]
What else is something you’re doing that helps this process? So you’re saying, it sounds like the first step is have a vision and have the imagination going and have it out in the future? What else would you say aids this for someone that’s listening and goes, You know, I want to do this, and I want my 10 years from now, here’s where I want to be, obviously chunk it down and plan out. But what would you say is another step that they could follow?

Dr. Benjamin Hardy [6:21]
There’s a few key steps one is for you really want to recognize and appreciate that your future self is a very different person than who you are today. Don’t assume that they’re the same person. Because that’s, that’s a false assumption. But it’s also, it would limit your creativity and imagination. So, first off, realize that they’re going to be a very different person than you are today. And then take time regularly, I would say journal every day, just 5 to 10 minutes about who your future self isn’t about what you should do today to take a meaningful step in that direction. I would also recommend you tell people in your life about who you want to be in the future. Because if you’re actually going to eventually become that person, then they’re going to realize that that’s where you’re going anyway. So, you might as well just be honest about it now, so that they can start supporting you and becoming that and maybe you can weed out some of the relationships that would try to stop you from becoming who you want to be. One other key component is that you need to turn your future self which is kind of an idea, it’s an identity, it’s a future identity. So, you need to turn your future self into a measurable outcome. And so, what I mean by that is you need one goal, one goal, not 50, you need one goal, and you need to turn your future self into an outcome. So, I’ll give a few examples from my life. When I was an undergrad, my goal was to get into a high chair, Ph. D. program, that one goal allowed me to actually live my life on purpose during those years towards a future, when I got into my Ph. D. program, my goal became to be a, you know, to get a six-figure book contract with one of the big five. And so, you need a specific outcome. It could be run a marathon, it could be have your business, it could be get married, whatever it is, you need an outcome that allows you to generate a daily process for becoming that future self. So, once you’ve defined your future self, you need a single measurable goal that you can accomplish so that your days can be spent actually working towards something specific.

Mario Fachini [8:13]
So, I know there’s someone listening, that’s probably thinking, this sounds a little bit scary. What if I lose everything I already have, that I worked hard for, but I also see the flip side of this going, you can literally become anything and do anything you want.

Dr. Benjamin Hardy [8:28]
Yeah, I don’t, I don’t think you’re gonna lose everything that you’ve got. I don’t think you have to lose everything; you’ve got to pursue what you want, there’s definitely things you will have to let go. No, I think the more the more focused you get on a trip, the bigger your future comes, you definitely have to eliminate stuff that you’ve accepted into your life, you have to eliminate various relationships, you’ve got to focus you know, there’s a concept called the 8020 principle, which is a very common principle, but the more, the bigger your future gets, the farther out it is. The more focused you have to be obviously on the few things that really matter. And you’ve got to stop doing a lot of the things that are clearly distracting. And so yeah, you do have to let go of some of the things that maybe your former self used to enjoy. But your future self is a different person and you can evolve and grow and you should know, just because you were one way doesn’t mean you have to always be that person.

Mario Fachini [9:25]
So, let’s give the perspective of, let’s talk about that book deal you before you had you were envisioning and doing these things what happened once you had it?

Dr. Benjamin Hardy [9:36]
Yeah, so once I got the book deal then like you’re in the situation of what used to be your future self, now it’s your new normal, now it’s just your normal reality. You know, now you’ve got, now it’s now it becomes honestly mundane, what used to be your dream becomes mundane. And so that’s why you then need a new future self you know, you need it, but you can also still enjoy it. You know, I mean I then wrote the books. I’m able to provide for my family doing what I want. Yeah. So, I’m proud that my former self was living his life with intention, because I can look on my past and be really grateful that my former self had a goal and then actually created it. And now my current reality is enormously better than my former self reality. But, yeah, you can’t just stop there, you know, you always have to be stretching, you know. And so, and now I have new goals. Now it’s writing better books or being a better dad. And you’re always kind of simplifying your current situation and hopefully making it better.

Mario Fachini [10:35]
Let me expand on this and take it from a personal aspect to a community state and worldwide perspective. Obviously, there’s many benefits of becoming a better person and doing all of these things, you can help more people, but let’s foreshadow into the future 10 or 20 years? What percentage of people do you think it would take to make a global impact of everyone’s at this new level, In making a difference in the world?

Dr. Benjamin Hardy [11:03]
So, what’s the actual question? Like? What What would it take for a large portion of the population to do this? Or what do you question?

Dr. Benjamin Hardy [11:12]
Oh, geez, um,

Dr. Benjamin Hardy [11:15]
one of the great part is, is that it’s not like you have to make a million dollars, like, not everyone needs to grow into that future self. I think just living in tech more intentionally, in general allows us to avoid a lot of the distraction, a lot of the addiction, it allowed me in my thought is, is just live your life on purpose, you know, so I, yeah, I don’t know how to answer your question, to be fully honest with you.

Mario Fachini [11:40]
Okay. It’s okay. And I wasn’t asking to, I was just nothing.

Dr. Benjamin Hardy [11:46]
And we might be able to re orient the question. I’m definitely interested on societal levels, maybe just a different angle on the question would be helpful.

Mario Fachini [11:55]
Okay. Yeah, because everything you’re sharing, I, you know, I’ve had goals. And you know, before I had my books, it was like, I failed english seven times. So, my first book alone was like, you want to talk about an identity shift? That was more emotional for me than many other things. And then I’ve done other ones, and you know, other stuff. But when you get on the other side, it’s just like, you see it. And it’s like, wow, if everyone could see their own potential and do this, and I’ve always just envisioned, like everyone just rising up even 5 or 10%, more, and it’s like, oh, my gosh, if you can, you know, I pray constantly, you know, Lord, take everything off my plate, so I can focus on everyone else. And it’s like, if, if people could just get out of their own problems? What Couldn’t we do? And it’s just, it’s an inspiring thought for me, because we really can help so many people. But yeah, there’s all kinds of stuff trying to put up, put us down. I mean, we can go real deep on that one, I know where you’re at. And

Dr. Benjamin Hardy [13:01]
I think a thought that comes to my mind as you’re sharing this is the importance of leadership and vision. Because one thing that I’ve realized is that if you have a vision, it could be a personal vision or a societal vision, you need to share where you want to go in general, because then people start to support you. But if you also just have a broader vision, it could be to start a company, it could be to create a social movement, you become very surprised at how quickly people come to support them. People really want to be a part of a vision. And so yeah, I think it’s essential that we actually imagined and create the future because as Abraham Lincoln said, the best way to imagine the future, or the best way to predict the future is to create it, right. And so that’s what we do with our own lives. But we can also do that on a societal level, you just have to actually come up with an imagine that future, then start telling people about it. And you start to get a lot of people to support it on either a personal level or a societal level.

Mario Fachini [13:53]
That’s awesome, and that’s very inspiring, because I remember when I started this show, not even not even that long ago, you know, the mission of the show is to exponentially elevate the identity of humanity and.

Dr. Benjamin Hardy [14:06]
so, so cool, that is so good.

Mario Fachini [14:09]
Well, thank you,

Dr. Benjamin Hardy [14:10]
When identity comes from your view of the future, and identity is the thing that drives your behavior. So, it’s a perfect vision.

Mario Fachini [14:19]
it’s freaking me out, before episode one, and i was like, i don’t know what i’m gonna do, but God gave me the vision, and i’m gonna go for it, and it’s, it’s, it’s a fun thing to do, and i know you’ve done it time and time again, but it’s just, you know, you’re one of the few people i felt like i could actually ask this to and get some resemblance of serious answer, because, i think it’s a stretch for me, myself included and i think most people, because, again if you’re wrap at your own stuff on the day to day basis, you don’t care what’s going on in the world, you only care what’s going on in the block, cause you don’t have time to think about it.

Dr. Benjamin Hardy [14:18]
Yeah, I mean, I have two thoughts. From what you’re saying, one is, look at how far you’ve come. Because of the vision you have, I mean, I guarantee your show, and everything you do is exponentially better than what you initially imagined it was going to be, you know, look, look at how far your vision has brought you. But I also love the second thought, which is that you get your life in such order that you no longer have to think about your own needs, but you can then go out and solve other problems. And that’s, I think that’s a killer, a killer agenda, you know, like, our brains can only really pay attention to so many things at once. And if all of your attention is soaked up on, you know, essentially paying the bills or meeting our needs, then your brain isn’t freed up, to come up with different futures and different agendas. And so, I think it’s all of our responsibility in many ways to take care of our own needs to put our lives in an order, where we’re mentally and emotionally free enough to actually do something useful. So, I love what you’re doing.

Mario Fachini [16:05]
Well, I appreciate that very much. Thank you. And I just got to ask, how many things can the human brain handle at once, because I think I was three over the limit this past week.

Dr. Benjamin Hardy [16:17]
If you want to be in a flow state, probably one, you know. So, every human behavior is outcome generating, so like, if I want to go get a drink, it’s to create an outcome, you know, it’s to get my drink. If I want to go eat food, it’s to create an outcome is to eat and fill myself up. Every human behavior is to produce an outcome. And usually, if you’re focused on just creating one outcome at a time, so in this case, us having a great conversation, you will be in a flow state far more often. And so, yeah, I mean, you can handle a few things at once I can go walking while listening to an audio book. But I’m still probably mostly just trying to create one outcome there. So, I just think that the fewer outcomes you’re trying to create at one time, the more flow you’ll have, and the more those outcomes will actually be powerful and meaningful. And you’ll actually be able to get big stuff done. You know, like, you can knock out a lot of things quickly, if you’re just trying to, to accomplish one major thing at a time. You know, so on a daily basis, it’s like, what’s the one major thing you’re trying to do today? That if you did it, it would make the biggest difference for your future? Yeah, you could do 15, mediocre things. But if you did One really cool thing? What’s the biggest thing that could happen? What about this week? What’s the one thing that you know, if it happened, your whole future would be different. And then I just think singular focus on the most important outcome allows you to have a flow state a lot more often and allows you to create a lot bigger results, then I think, I’ll stop, I’ll share it, I’ll end this thought with a quote. And it’s from Robert broke. And he said, were kept from our goal, not by obstacles, but by clear paths to lesser goals. And I think we often take clear paths to lesser goals, because we’re just not willing to commit to one thing.

Mario Fachini [18:04]
Wow, that’s powerful. Yeah, having that singularity of focus is definitely it’s more enjoyable so it’s not fun when there’s 98 things going on, and you’re just trying to get one one thing done.

Dr. Benjamin Hardy [18:21]
Yeah, you don’t get as much progress, and therefore you don’t get as much confidence, you know

Mario Fachini [18:25]
it’s technically that word comes from?

Dr. Benjamin Hardy [18:29]
what was that?

Mario Fachini [18:30]
Is that where it comes from? So, it’s the lack of, you have less fun doing it. So, the confidence is lower news, because you’re not making as much progress

Dr. Benjamin Hardy [18:39]
While making progress builds confidence, and so if you’ve watched yourself, let’s just say do something that took a while, you know, I’ll give myself as an example, it could be writing a book, it could be painting, you know, finishing a PhD, it could be doing 100 episodes of a podcast, if you watch yourself do something long enough, then you’ll then you’ll actually generate bigger futures. But if you’ve never actually done something more than the first few steps, then the futures you generate will be very small. And again, it’s your view of your own future that determines who you are in the present. And so, by actually committing to bigger things, you can actually conjure up much further out futures, which allow you a much better identity in the present.

Mario Fachini [19:23]
That’s exciting, and I can relate to that with the books because you’re not going to publish the book if you never get chapter one done.

Dr. Benjamin Hardy [19:29]
Exactly.

Mario Fachini [19:31]
And when you were talking about doing that single thing for the day, some days, it was just I want to do another chapter, but how much more leverage on that?

Dr. Benjamin Hardy [19:39]
Now is a very productive day, if you actually did that chapter.

Mario Fachini [19:43]
Yeah, that’s how I thought about it. And you know, one day, one the next day and eventually

Dr. Benjamin Hardy [19:52]
It goes perfectly with the quote from Bill Gates where he said, “You, you overestimate what you can do in one day, but you underestimate what you can do in a year.” It’s like if you just do one thing, the right thing a day, over a year, you’ll be shocked at how far you are. But I think, you know, people, people just try to squeeze too many mediocre things in at once.

Mario Fachini [20:14]
This, this, this is awesome. I’m so glad you’re sharing this, I want to, you obviously know what you’re talking about. And I want to ask you about your clients and the people you’ve helped, what’s the biggest transformation they’ve had, through one of your trainings or training talks, something you were able to help them with who, what’s one of the biggest transformations you’ve seen them have?

Dr. Benjamin Hardy [20:40]
I don’t know a lot, I’ve definitely been a part of a lot of cool, cool opportunities. I try not to honestly overly pay attention to that, to be fully honest with you. But there’s, we get emails every single day, you know, people who, you know, quit addictions, lost hundreds of pounds, cured cancer. I mean, you know, started businesses that sold for millions and millions of dollars. I mean, it’s, it’s, it’s interesting, but I just, I actually shield myself from most of that, to be honest with you, I don’t even answer my email as much anymore. But it’s good for me to just hear simple stories, to be fully honest with you, like a friend of mine, who I’ve known for 10 years, he read Personalities Isn’t Permanent. And he said, it led to a conversation with his parents, which allowed him to let go of something that he’s been holding on to for decades in which he thought he was going to have to carry for his whole life. And now he’s in a healed space with his parents. And so, I’m more interested in those simple, like, important but simple transformations than maybe, you know, the semi, you know, the seemingly crazy, you know, I mean, I think that those little things are actually really crucial. And, you know, it’s, I’m excited to know that my friend no longer has to carry this unnecessary emotional load for the next 40 years of his life, because he actually began to see it differently and had a conversation with his parents, which allowed him to just let it go.

Mario Fachini [22:04]
Yeah, that’s a huge weight off their shoulders.

Dr. Benjamin Hardy [22:09]
And that’s the fun thing about transformations. Because I can think of my clients and it’s the same thing. It’s like, yeah, it’s cool if someone went from a million a year to 10 million, but it’s like when you can restore relationship. that’s priceless.

Mario Fachini [22:25]
Totally.

Mario Fachini [22:28]
So, I want to do one more thing with you before we go to the imperfect action round. And it’s called the wheel of whatever we spend it and it ends up on a question. And it always ends up in the right spot. So, your question is, who is an entrepreneur or CEO that you would love to learn from personally?

Dr. Benjamin Hardy [23:02]
Hmm, yeah, I would say probably for a long time, it was Dan Sullivan, and now he and I are co authoring books together. So, I’m not really sure who it is right now. I really enjoy learning from Dan, still continue to enjoy learning from Dan. There’s no one off the top of my head that I can think of at the moment.

Mario Fachini [23:22]
What if I took off the CEO or entrepreneur and it could be anyone in the world done?

Dr. Benjamin Hardy [23:29]
Yeah. I’m interested in learning from people who are doing really cool humanitarian work, people are doing really cool missionary work. I think there’s just a lot of good causes going on in the world. So, I think there’s a lot of great leaders out there who I’m constantly driving to. There’s literally no one who’s coming immediately to mind.

Mario Fachini [23:54]
But those are the organizations and charity?

Dr. Benjamin Hardy [24:01]
Organizations, the ones that are are interesting to me at the moment.

Mario Fachini [24:04]
Okay, excellent. We’re gonna thank our sponsor, and come back for the imperfect action around.

Mario Fachini [25:42]
And we are back with the imperfect action round. Ben, are you ready to take imperfect action?

Dr. Benjamin Hardy [25:48]
Yes, sir.

Mario Fachini [25:49]
First question I have and these are quick 62nd answers. First one is what is the fastest path to the profits?

Dr. Benjamin Hardy [26:01]
Are you talking about like, fastest path to money?

Mario Fachini [26:04]
Yes.

Dr. Benjamin Hardy [26:09]
I would say team with people who are already doing really cool things.

Mario Fachini [26:15]
Okay. Number two, what is the biggest problem you see your prospects making and the fastest way for them to fix it?

Dr. Benjamin Hardy [26:26]
Not being a part of a community that can help them get past their own obstacles. I think that people need to be a part of small communities that they’re accountable to on a regular basis. And that’s usually a great way to quickly get past whatever issue they’re dealing with.

Mario Fachini [26:42]
Excellent. Number three, what is the best way to maximize customer lifetime value?

Dr. Benjamin Hardy [26:50]
Community, having a community that they feel that they don’t want to leave? And so, they stay with you because you’ve not only given them an important thing, but you’ve given them to be a part of that they feel accountable to?

Mario Fachini [27:06]
And would you say, to expand on that a little bit? Would you say there’s that sense of belonging or it’s just the confidence in themselves? That they’re growing and they can stay accountable to someone?

Dr. Benjamin Hardy [27:19]
Both, you know, they need the confidence that they’re growing and their futures getting better. But they also need the sense of belonging, they need it. Yeah, they need something that they feel they’re a part of, which gives their like weekly or monthly life a lot of meaning.

Mario Fachini [27:36]
Excellent. What are some books that you’d recommend that have made a big difference in your life?

Dr. Benjamin Hardy [27:43]
I’d say the 80/20 principle is a book I recently read. It’s very good. The Body Keeps the Score is a great book about trauma. And I don’t know. I mean, there’s lots of different types of books. There’s spiritual books, there’s business books, but yeah,

Mario Fachini [28:04]
I’d recommend spiritual ones. That’s cool.

Dr. Benjamin Hardy [28:07]
Yeah, I’ll just leave with those. I mean, I think that those are some really cool. Those are some great books,8020 and Body keeps the score are really good books.

Mario Fachini [28:14]
Okay.

Mario Fachini [28:17]
