| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Darren Daly on demand, your most trusted resource to help you become better every day. |
| 0:07.3 | Here's your success mentor, Darren Hardy. |
| 0:13.5 | This morning, I want to change your life. I have two questions that can do it. You might be irritated by these questions at first, but if you get |
| 0:21.9 | these, and I mean really get them, your life will never be the same, as mine hasn't been since I was |
| 0:28.1 | asked these two questions. It was 30 plus years ago back at that first personal development |
| 0:33.2 | seminar that I went to. After each subject was presented, you then break off with one of their |
| 0:38.4 | coaches. These coaches were usually just former students who are now auditing the program |

| 1:36.7 | these two questions help you take back control. They give you back your agency, not only to change the situation, |
| 1:43.9 | but also to forever change |
| 1:45.6 | yourself. In the answer to those two questions, you are no longer a victim. In fact, it becomes |
| 1:51.1 | impossible for anyone or anything to ever victimize you again. You gain complete, 100% |
| 1:57.7 | control over your life forevermore. Whatever happens, ask yourself, what's your part |
