Speaker 2 This is the Russell Brunson Show.

Speaker 2 This book I recently got off eBay for $5,999.99, but we had in shipping and all that kind of stuff, eBay fees. It ended up being over $6,000.

Speaker 2 And some people might be wondering, why would you spend $6,000 on a book, Russell? First off, Neville is one of the most prolific writers from the genre that I like to collect in.

Speaker 2 He's got a huge cult following. And this edition of the book is actually really cool because first off, it's first edition.
But number two, it was actually signed by Neville right here.

Speaker 2 So it's called The Power of Awareness. And he's got a lot of books

Speaker 2 in this series. We'll probably do other videos in the future on a lot of them.
This is what I want to lead with because it, again, is first edition and signed by Neville.

Speaker 2 One of the concepts from this book that I think, and there's so many cool things in here to talk about, about awareness, mean aware of something, right?

Speaker 2 He talks about like most people aren't even, like, they're not conscious of what's happening around them. Like, most of us are living lives.

Speaker 2 We're just kind of, we're out there, we're bouncing around and we're just doing whatever it is. We're not even aware of it.

Speaker 2 Talking about like the power, like when you're able to be aware of like, this is what's happening, this is why I'm doing things. It changes things.

Speaker 2 For me, the very first time I had that, it was my very first Tony Robbins event when everyone's at the event and we're jumping around.

Speaker 2 And I remember it was the first time like I became aware of like what I was doing and why I was doing it. And the crazy thing is like, my whole life I've been doing this.

Speaker 2 I had these patterns that I was running. I didn't even know.
And as soon as I became aware of the pattern, I was able to stop back and be like, oh, I keep doing the same thing over and over again.

Speaker 2 And when I was aware of of it, then I could change it. But prior, I couldn't.
It was all invisible to me, right?

Speaker 2 And I think about like, probably one of the greatest gifts I got from Tony Robbins was being aware of the patterns that I was in, that I was in, right?

Speaker 2 And a lot of this book is about that, like the power of awareness. When you're aware of something, then you can stop it and you can change it.
Versus most people are just drifting.

Speaker 2 They're living their life. They're not even aware of the things that they're actually doing, right?

Speaker 2 One of the other really powerful things that I learned from Neville in this book, he talks about, but also in other books I've read from him, that was really powerful.

Speaker 2 He said, said, the key to transformation is to think about the thing you want as if it's already happened, right?

Speaker 2 And it's not like, I think sometimes you see this in the self-help gurus where they're like, if you want to be rich, just tell people you're rich, you're rich, you're rich.

Speaker 2 And that's not what, that's not what I'm talking about here. In fact, I have a really cool example in my own life.

Speaker 2 Over the last, man, two, two and a half years, I've really struggled to sleep at nights. I've had sleep issues.

Speaker 2 And the reason that I have so many projects I'm working on, stress and anxiety, the business and chaos with kids and all this stuff.

Speaker 2 And so it happened, I go to to bed at night and as i'm going to bed at night um i start thinking about the obstacles right like one i i'll fall i'll be falling asleep and also think about one obstacle in my way right i also think about that i'm like oh so my brain starts trying to figure out how to solve that and i'm trying to think about that also the next obstacle pops up another one and soon i'm like i'm stressing out 12 different projects and i can't sleep at night next to you no it's five in the morning my alarm clock's going off i haven't slept yet and it's like and uh i really struggled that long time and then i started 75 hard about 40 days ago and I was reading a Neville Goddard book and in there he talked about before you go to bed at night he's like don't focus on the obstacles in your head.

Speaker 2 He said, instead, visualize the end state of what you want to accomplish, what you're working towards. He says, if you do that, a couple things will happen.

Speaker 2 Number one, you'll be able to fall asleep better, which I was like, oh, thank heavens, I could use that right now in my life.

Speaker 2 But number two, he said, when you do that, he's like, your subconscious mind, if you visualize what you're trying to get to, your subconscious mind, when you're sleeping, will figure out all the things to answer and then be able to solve that problem.

Speaker 2 He said, when you're stressing about and thinking about the problems you have, your brain will like make those problems bigger, which why you can't sleep at night.

Speaker 2 But if you visualize the end state, so for me, for example, what I was doing, right now, a lot of you guys probably know, like right now I'm in my makeshift version of my vault.

Speaker 2 I am building a 20,000 square foot museum for my books, my magazines, my manuscripts, everything, right? And this has been a big project for the last two or three years.

Speaker 2 And so for me, I was like stressing about all the details of everything. And I remember stopping after reading this from Neville.

Speaker 2 And I said, okay, tonight when I go to bed, I'm just going to think about the end state. So I pictured myself like in the museum event center.

Speaker 2 I pictured myself on stage with like my, my inner circle members in there. I'm teaching them stuff.
We're having a great time.

Speaker 2 I visualized myself like in the room with the books, like sitting out researching and writing and like writing my next book and like the end state of like, of the end goal that I'm racing towards, right?

Speaker 2 And I remember I did that the first night and within five minutes, I was out cold. And the next day, I was like, I slept great last night, right?

Speaker 2 And then the next day, I said, Daniel, I'm going to go to bed tonight. I'm going to visualize the end state.
I visualize the end state, right? And then fell asleep.

Speaker 2 So I was falling asleep really good. But then the next byproduct, which is crazy, is just like he said, like your subconscious mind will figure out ways to solve these problems as you're sleeping.

Speaker 2 And when you're not in like conscious, like trying to solve the problem zone, right?

Speaker 2 It's so crazy because like over the next 30-day window, like all these like answers to the problems that for me to solve to the big division I was working towards started showing up in weird ways.

Speaker 2 Where like all of a sudden like an idea, a person's head would pop in mind or a different situation or like these things would just come into my mind and they were the answer to how to solve the problems.

Speaker 2 And so I don't know, maybe it's maybe it's woo-woo, maybe it's super magic. I don't know.
But two things it did for me is number one, make me sleep better at night, which was a huge blessing.

Speaker 2 Number two,

Speaker 2 it's getting me closer to the thing I've been visualizing.

Speaker 2 It's funny because I hadn't done that for so long, but when I think back like my athletic career as a kid, every night I went to bed and I visualized me as a state champion, getting my hand raised.

Speaker 2 Like that was something every night I would think about. When I got to college, I started thinking about the same thing with my goals there.

Speaker 2 And I had forgotten about it. Like in athletics and sports, I think a lot of times we talk about visualization.
We hear about

Speaker 2 basketball, they did test where

Speaker 2 Max Lamaltz did test where they had basketball players who actually shot 1,000 free throws, and then basketball players at night were in their head practice 1,000 free throws.

Speaker 2 And both groups increased their scoring percentage by the same amount, whether they were doing it actually or just visualizing it.

Speaker 2 And so a lot of times in athletics, they look at tests like that and talk about athletes, visualize yourself doing the thing.

Speaker 2 But we don't talk about it in business, right? At least I never hear people talking about it. And I think a lot of us business people think that's too woo-woo for us.
I'm not going to try it.

Speaker 2 But if it wasn't for someone like Neville, Neville who I respect him as a writer and as an author as someone who's still has a huge cult following on online today I wouldn't have tried it and so far for me it's been great so there's your homework assignment for tonight visualize the end state of the thing you're trying to accomplish and see number one if it helps you sleep better at night and number two see if you do that consistently over time if the answers to the problems you're trying to solve will start magically showing up who knows I've been trying to build out the lineage of personal development like the whole like who learned from who and where they all came from and it's interesting because you look at at the timeline like there was a lot of like christian authors and there's a lot of like new thought offers and there were times in the middle where these people bumped into to each other i think neville is interesting because he has like the christian base and he's got the new thought base and so there are people from both camps that like kind of fell in love with him and so i actually first started understanding neville like i had bought in his stuff because he he kept showing up i hadn't read anything and i think it was eileen wild was the first time when she started quoting this neville stuff to me and if you know eileen she's in the whole like personal development but she's also used to be a preacher so she always brings these uh ideas to me.

Speaker 2 And so she's sharing ideas and sharing stories. And I'm like, who is this person you keep talking about? She's like, oh, it's Neville.
You don't know what Neville? I'm like, I bought a bunch of stuff.

Speaker 2 I don't know who he is yet. She's like, oh, Neville's my favorite.
And so it made me kind of put a spotlight on him. It's like, who is this guy?

Speaker 2 So I started buying more books, trying to find more first edition copies. And now that I've been diving into Neville's work, it's really fascinating.

Speaker 2 Just the level of, I guess, bringing some of the spiritual and the thought things together and combining them into something that you can use together to help increase your success in any area of your life.
