Summary
I believe this email will be profoundly valuable to your rise to your finest self and for your ascent to your greatest life.
Our culture suggests that if you would only become a more positive thinker, everything would be amazing.
And yet an excellent psychology and a superb belief system with a messy emotionality and toxic feelings being carried from past hurts will never deliver the creativity, productivity, performance and peace that you're looking for...
...This is a very disruptive idea that runs counter to what most pundits in the field of personal development and leadership are teaching.
...I believe it's the #1 reason why most learning doesn't last. We get the insights at an intellectual level only. And we fail to integrate it into our heart.
This calibrated new episode of The Mastery Sessions will really help you understand the power of emotional healing as a profound success tool. And why a world-class mindset without a purified heartset will not cause the wins you want.

| 0:45.0 | And here's my take on it offered with great respect. |
| 0:48.0 | Mindset is only 25% of the personal mastery equation. |
| 0:52.0 | Mindset is your psychology, of course your psychology is |
| 0:54.8 | your psychology is incredibly important. You have to bulletproof your thinking. You want to protect your confidence. You want to |
| 1:01.4 | install the belief systems of happiness, your |
| 1:05.0 | confidence, |
| 1:10.0 | psychology is incredibly, |
| 1:07.0 | impact on humanity, of course your psychology is incredibly important. |
| 1:11.0 | But if mindset was everything, then why do most people read a book |
| 1:17.3 | and the learning doesn't last? If mindset was everything, then why do we go to conferences and after two or |
| 1:25.6 | through weeks a lot of what we learned does not endure if mindset was everything |
| 1:30.9 | then when we received a new idea from a trusted mentor, why do we not |
| 1:36.7 | execute on it? And that's why I believe this term I've introduced in the 5am Club |
