Welcome to the Graham Cochran show where each week I help you create more money,

margin, and meaning in your life. I'm your host, of course, Graham Cochran. Let's get into it.

You ever notice how two people can have the exact same opportunities, like the same mentor,

the same strategy, even start on the same day?

And one of them explodes in their business and their wealth while the other barely survives.

So I used to think that the difference was skill, timing, luck,

personality, but it's not. And after years of coaching entrepreneurs, I finally figured out

what actually separates the ones who get rich from the ones who stay stuck. And once I saw it,

I could see it everywhere. So in this episode, I'm going to

show you the invisible chain reaction that determines everything. And it all comes down to four

simple words that explain why some people win and others don't. So this past week, I was at a

mastermind event here in Clearwater, Florida, and there was a bunch

of pretty high-level entrepreneurs in the room. Everybody in the room was making at least

$20,000 a month, I think, to even get in the room. But there are multimillionaires in the room.

And then there's some people that are starting new businesses, or maybe they have a good income and that's what got them in the room, but they're starting a business from zero. And so there's a wide variety of people, but they're all high-level thinkers. They've all paid a price to be there. They're all taking it seriously. They all really want to win. And I love going to events because as an entrepreneur, that's a solopreneur, that's also an

introvert, I tend to work by myself more often than not. And so I don't get out very much. And so when I do,

it's great to like see other people, share what's working, best practices, hear what people

are excited about in their industries, see if I can learn something

from their industry, see if I could share something from my industry or if we're in the same

industry, how can we support each other, get on each other's podcasts, things like that.

And so I just love idea generation and having my mind expanded in these rooms.

And so you're spending time during the breaks and at the meals and in the evenings, at the restaurant, at the bar, wherever, getting to know some of these people and finding out why are you here? What are you excited about? What are you hoping to get out of this?
