Summary
Are you drifting in your life? Are you waiting for the “right time” to start that business idea or go after that new career or get in shape? Are you just letting life happen to you instead of taking responsibility and taking control of the things you can?
Too many people drift, a term Dean learned from Napoleon Hill’s “Outwitting the Devil. You just let life carry you along until 5, 10, 20 years goes by and you wonder what happened to your life. Dean doesn’t want that to be your story.
In this short, but powerful episode Dean Graziosi shares with you how to create unstoppable momentum, and turn your dreams into reality.
There’s never going to be a perfect time to start a business or go after that career you want or get in the shape you want… or whatever your goals or dreams are.
The key to creating an extraordinary life is to become disturbed with inaction and then take uncomfortable action to create momentum.

| 0:00.0 | What does it mean to be a drifter? And how can that affect the man or the woman you are supposed to be? |
| 0:08.1 | Hey, it's Dean Graziosian. Welcome to the Own Your Future Podcast. Behind the scenes edition, |
| 0:12.9 | we're each week on a Thursday. We go over in about eight minutes or less the prior interview. |
| 0:17.6 | If you didn't see the interview with Evan Pagan, I would suggest to go watch it, share it. It is so |
| 0:23.5 | good. We went down so many different roads in that interview that I want to make sure that I |
| 0:29.6 | really anchor it in here today. Evan was a guy who had a crappy job making about 75 bucks a week. |
| 0:37.3 | He was in a long hair, played the guitar in a band. Hopefully, at his best gig would make $75 |
| 0:44.1 | for a gig and just kind of drifted for a long time until one day he didn't. So we'll talk about |
| 0:50.4 | but he went from that to locking himself in a room and entering the industry that I get to be |
| 0:55.8 | in. Tony Robbins is in and hopefully you'll be in in some day where you get to lock on to |
| 1:00.2 | something that you have a niche for that you have a desire for that you studied that you have an |
| 1:05.8 | expertise or a skill in and sharing that information with others. It's called the knowledge industry. |
| 1:11.9 | The self-education industry, you're selling what you know. It used to be an industry for other people |
| 1:17.5 | now. It's an industry for everybody. You get to see his evolution to go on within a short |
| 1:22.0 | period of time and I'm not saying you're going to do this. That's why you got to listen to the |
| 1:25.3 | interview. You built a $25 million a year business and then sold it, helping people date. |
| 1:33.7 | Here's what I want to talk about. So what is drifting? First off, drifting. I got that word |
| 1:41.3 | from Napoleon Hill in the book, outwitting the devil. If you never read it or listen to it, |
| 1:46.0 | it's a damn good book. Whatever your beliefs are, he just puts self-doubt and posture syndrome, |
| 1:50.8 | whatever you want to call it in the hands of the devil. And this book is about a conversation he had |
| 1:56.0 | and the way the book sounds, I don't think it was made up in his head. I think he believes he had |
| 2:00.0 | a conversation with the devil. If you don't know who Napoleon Hill is, he's kind of the founder of |
