Hey Fitlifer,  Drew Canole,  I'm
with the one and only, David Shearer. We
call them Jensen in here because there's
two Davids. Jensen is his middle name.  What a
cool,  middle name, right? Jensen is a badass name.
Give this video a big thumbs up.
We're excited to be talking about one of
our favorite topics today and that's
mindset and what better way to talk
about mindset than to bring somebody to
this video that we really love. Yeah, absolutely!
Right? Great leader, somebody who
possesses these ways of being that aren't far
from you, that are discorded, t not this
ethereal tangible world that you could
never possess on your own.
We want to take today like Elon Musk.
You like Elon Musk? I love him. I like Elon.
Really? You really love him?
I think he's brilliant. He's a great visionary.
Yeah! Leader of our tim. He's like the
Tony Stark of real life. He really is the Tony Stark
of your life. But anyway, we're going to focus on
the two principles that make Elon Musk
who he is today and we're going to show you
actually how you can be that, to have those
same mindset principles in your own life.
Let's get into it. Are you ready? We are ready.
Let's do this.
Drew's gotta go do a save-the-world
mandate for a few minutes so he said
he'd literally be back.
So yes! Absolutely. Just like Drew and I
were talking about just a second ago,
when we think of a guy like Elon Musk,
we think, "Wow! This guy is so
incredibly brilliant. But here's the thing,
what we've actually began to find is,
it's not just simply based on talent.
It's actually based on principle and
mindset. And here's the thing, if you and
I apply these things, we can do things
like Elon Musk and maybe even greater.
So, let's break that down. Elon Musk has two
basic principles that he will apply when
solving a problem. And, first one is he
applies principals rather than gets his
emotions involved
over the outcome. This is
applied in a couple ways and we'll get
through it at a second. And the second
thing is he's constantly testing new
conclusions. And we're gonna watch a
quick little interview that Elon
Musk goes in and we're gonna break those
things down and how he applies those
principles and mindset into his life.
Now, pay attention to what Elon Musk says
when he answers this question right here.
But I'm curious if that thought occurred to you
that only the profits will
come or. Yeah! Well, we have to generate
positive cash flow or we have to
generate enough cash flow to fund future
developments which requires having a
good gross margin and so i guess one
could just say okay we're going to stop
developing your product and then you
would be really profitable so at any
given point you could sort of say well
we could be possible
you know at this point. But we've got
these great things that we want to
develop for the future and they're good
investments and that's what we're doing.
Okay. So now right there, you hear that? See
Elon must have the opportunity to use the
technology that his company was making
and make a much larger profit than what
he's currently he and his company is
currently doing. But what he
decided to do is apply his first
principle, hence what he's doing, he is
delaying the gratification of getting
more profit for himself and his company
for the purpose of using his technology
and his resources to create a better
tomorrow and a better future for society.
When you and I do this, what immediately
happens is we automatically put
ourselves in a position where we're able
to think bigger and think greater. Let's
continue watching this video and see how
he breaks these principles down even
further. Lead this charge, man!
Yeah, well I mean with SpaceX,
originally, I sort of just thinking, well
how do I increase NASA's budget, actually,
that was my goal.
So guys like Elon Musk, he's like the
leader of the
industry, like he, obviously founder of
Tesla, SpaceX, all these things. But this
is how Musk becomes the leader of future
opportunities. So it was like 2001
with just us friend of mine.
And he asked me what
is he going to do after Paypal.
Well,  I was wondering like, I'd like to be
involved in space but I just don't think
there's an individual...
His goals started obviously out of
smaller but when he realizes that there
is no current opportunity that matches
his current desire we cut right here and
watch this.
... but a team to Mars because it was always
going to be the thing to do after the moon. I
figured that that there be some plan like
I just go to the website and then I could
read the schedule. And then
yeah, it's like okay, 2017 is good. Okay.
Actually it wasn't anything
on the website and ...
See right here,
Musk is talking from a viewpoint of
desire but obviously there's a gap
between his desire to go to space and
what he is personally capable of doing.
Now, most people get frustrated and
discouraged about this right off the bat
because there's [inaudible] men. There's no
one out there doing this. You know, what
chance do I have? I don't know anything
about, you know, in this example,
space travel.
Watch and see what he does next.
So then that could totally shelf and it
was like you're not allowed to talk
about any kind of crude mission to Mars
 
at NASA. So anyway, I thought well,  if I
can do something that would galvanize
public interest and and then that public
interest would translate to additional
appropriations for NASA, increase the
budget,  then maybe they could do it.
Okay, so right here, check this out. He
states what is missing - the missing link -
and then moves into a solution and he
does this by asking a question no one
else has asked. This is coming back to
the principle of testing conclusions. Musk
is constantly doing this to see if you
can get the desired result that he's
looking for. So that's right, [inaudible]
is there some way to affect the
cost of space transport and I got
together with a group of people over
series of Saturdays just to try on set,
Is there something super
expensive about rockets or
can the cost be substantially improved?
And, heck, we had a bunch of those
kind of brainstorming sessions and I can
see I can see any fundamental obstacle to
improving the cost of rockets. So,
and that's when I started SpaceX.
Awesome information!
Yeah! Thank you for putting that together.
Yeah, and so in short, i mean really the two
principles that make up you on the
success is, first one is delayed
gratification.
I mean he basically had the opportunity
to make a huge amount of profit
in Tesla. But instead, he's actually
using that technology for the betterment
of mankind. And in doing this,
it puts his mindset in a place where he
can ask bigger questions. And that's the
second thing, he's asking bigger questions
that no one else's asked.
I can apply that to my life. Vividly, five
years ago, when I was started Fitlife, the
normal thing to do at that age for me
would be to go out with my friends on the
weekend, hang out, just entertain
myself, right? At the bar, whatever it is.
And instead, I literally, with reading, I was
writing, I was advancing myself, my
mentality every single day. And I did
this for period of about two-and-a-half years.
Non-stop, I was reading two to three books a
week and I still do that. And
it absolutely changed my lif. Likening to
you,
the big question of, well, if going back 5 and a half
years ag,  if I really transform my body,
I lose 40 pounds when i started posting
videos online and I impact people, how
would that change the world?
So now, I get to springboard out of bed
and make a difference in other people's
lives because of the ability to
ask bigger questions. Huge. And just a touch on that, real quick,
because I get to see this guy
behind the camera and in front of the camera
and trust me, he is always challenging me,
personally and the rest of the team, to think
bigger because that's what this is all
about. You know, if we can elevate the
consciousness of the community through this
videos. I mean, that's our goal.
Yeah, that's why we're here. and we're going to do
more of these videos while we take these
leaders, these people out in the world
that have radically powerful mindsets
and make more videos like this for our
Mindset Monday. Anyway, I'm Drew Canole.
I'm Jensen. Remember we're in this
together. We'll see you soon.
Alright, everybody wants to be a
billionaire but nobody wants to be an
emotional billionaire. First, I believe
when we tap into our emotions, that is
the frequency, the thought, the feeling
behind creating...
