Listen "You Have To Hear Something Seven Times"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, John introduces the idea that you have to hear something seven times BEFORE it fully registers. This issue has come up because John relates to Kelly a situation with a couple of new clients for think it be it. John explains that the most significant thing ever learned in his life was that 95% of his daily actions and thoughts are unconscious. That was so significant because from reading think and grow Rich, he realized that his daily actions determine his success in each area of his life. Therefore if 95% of his daily actions are unconscious, if he’s not controlling his unconscious daily actions, he’s playing the game of life at 25% of his potential. John was mystified as to why people couldn’t repeat that back to him once he explained that to them. John’s assumption was that they have to hear it seven times before it really registers. Kelly gives some great insight into this. It may be that people just aren’t ready to hear the message. And some people never will hear the message because they don’t have a growth mindset. They’re not open to new ideas. Towards the end of the podcast John talks about a new client who after a few times of John saying it to her started repeating it back to him in emails.
