Yeah, oh today's QOD is if it's not a hell yes, it's a hell no

Here we go welcome back to the quarter of the day show I'm

your host Sean Croxton and Sean Croxton.com we got Alan Cohen on the show today and he's talking about a couple topics.

Number one is how to come up with ideas how the greats come up with their best ideas and you know one thing I do a lot is I study the common traits of highly successful people, especially the entrepreneurs and one of those traits, one of those qualities, one of those characteristics is that they chase ideas, not

money because they know when they get a really good idea and they take action on it and they execute it and they really really do it.

The money just has a way of showing up so you got to chase your passion you got to chase your ideas but how do you come up with those ideas now I'm just going to show you that in a second also stop doing stuff that you don't want to do.

The overwhelming majority of people do stuff every day that they don't want to do go to a job that they don't want to go to go to events that they don't want to go to have to show up at parties that they don't want to be at it's just the costly in this state of doing stuff you'd rather not be doing but you kind of sucks right.

And so he's going to give you an easy way to make a decision about what you're going to do or what you're not going to do. Alan Cohen coming up in 60 seconds.

So the name of the game I'll tell you two things every all the two things you ever need to know this is the tech commandment can be boiled down to this and expand on number one do what brings your life.

Number two quit doing what tends you forget about everything else you've ever heard if you do a brings you life you will be wealthy happy and wise if you quit doing what denger you get lighter and fear every day so every time you have an act before you a decision a date something advice you for sex something advice you for dinner whatever does you try and offer size and you say does this in live in me or does this dead me if it alive is you it's a good thing to do my friends if it denger you why would you do it.

And then you why would you want to do something that would disconnect you from yourself.

So let me give you some examples of people who pay their example their avenue to enter wisdom time is at us some one of the great adventures of our time.

Do you know how he accessed answers to his difficult experiments he would get stuck in an experiment and he would lay down on a couch and he would hold a rock in his hand.

And he would say okay I want to know what's the next step here what do I need to do here what can solve this question and he would do is off one of his famous catnaps now as he dozed off he would relax his hand would open the rock would

be a good thing to do is to put the foot to the floor and he would wake up but at that point he had sunk into a subconscious in a knowing at which point the answer to his experiment lived and he would wake up and he would know.

And he would have the adventure the motion picture alkaline battery you could just sunlight recorder many many more because he he knew how to tap into his inner knowing and so do you I tell you Edison is no greater than you all it was practicing.

And he would say that's great and you were each great in our own way we just need to tap into our own greatness never try to list somebody else's dream because it'll flop on you.

He had since 15 years old that what to say he was visioning this event since he's 15 years 10 years ago and now it's a reality because it's his dream if he tried to do somebody else's dream it wouldn't work but he's true to his he's a definition of integrity integrity is when the life that you're living on the outside matches who you are on the inside that's all integrity is.

And you're not an integrity gets sick and your money backs up and you get the fight but when the life that you're living on the outside matches who you are on the inside that's integrity and that's how you get a bunch of people to come to an event like this without even knowing who's going to talk to him that's powerful and I call that lined up with the Dow lined up with the entire universe and you lined up with you.

Mozart said Mozart his way had his way of getting and he said it is when I am completely myself entirely alone enough good here the ideas flow best and most abundantly.

When's and how they come I know not nor can I force them so all he was saying was that when he gets relaxed and he gets in tune with himself ideas come so never try to force an idea never try to force results somebody says if you can't pray at door open don't try to pry it open.

In other words when you get into that much of thing I'm going to make this happen no matter what you've lost your your flow get quiet step back be at peace and in that space Magnific I know I'm going to make a confession I get my best ideas when I'm eating when I'm sitting on the toilet when I'm taking a shower three times a great relief in my life.
