All beliefs are completely made up. So if we're gonna make up beliefs, why not believe in yourself? Why not just and sometimes I do this with people I'm like, Just pretend for a moment pretend you're an actor. If you're an actor for a movie, and you had to have the belief that you could actually achieve this, how would you act? How would you show up? You're listening to the high performance health podcast helping you optimise your health performance and longevity. My name is Angela Foster, and I'm a former corporate lawyer and high performance health coach. Each week, I bring you cutting edge bio hacks, inspiring insights and high performance habits to unlock optimal health performance and longevity. So excited that you've chosen to join me today. Now let's dive in.

Hi, friends, when you set a new goal, it can feel at first like can I really achieve this, and I'm going to be honest with you, I've saying this with my cut one of my coaching groups with my bias sinking programme. If your goal doesn't give you goosebumps, it probably isn't big enough. You want to take that goal and 10x it. The reason is, there's a lot of research around this about 10x in your goal is because if you think about doubling where you are, for example, like say you had a financial or business goal, and you two extra, essentially, you could just get away with doing more of the same but becoming busier, right? You could achieve it that way. Whereas when you 10x a goal, it requires a whole new level of thinking. And it's amazing when you do that, what insights you get how creative you become, and honestly how transformational things are. And also there's less competition to be honest, when you set really, really massive goals. So that's what I always encourage my programme members to do. And we kind of have a system for doing that. But when you first set a goal, you can sometimes feel like well, how do I get myself on board? Right? How do I not self sabotage? How do I believe that I can do this, and you're gonna learn about this in this week's podcast because I'm sitting down with Morgan Nelson, and he's hugely inspiring, having had tremendous success, he achieved financial freedom at the age of 23 years old. He's now 28. He's an entrepreneur from the Gold Coast in Australia. He originally left school with no direction and then was financially free by 23. And what's super interesting is his passion and his vigour and his commitment to help people follow their dreams. And he gives this amazing example of how you can set goals with your conscious mind and your conscious mind is kind of the goal setter. But it's your subconscious mind. That is the goal getter. And that's why things like affirmations, and your belief systems are so important. I love this podcast. It's so upbeat, and so much fun. I think you're gonna love it as well. If you do, let me know in the comments, leave a review.

It was just such a fun interview, and all of the show notes and everything you need is over on my website, Angela Foster performance.com. But for now, let me introduce you to Morgan Nelson. A Morgan is so great to have you on the show here today. Just to introduce you to my guest. I'm sitting with Morgan T. Nelson, who is a life and business strategist. And he is all about helping you create your life by design. So exciting. Every time I hear that right. I think we should all be doing it. I think the difference is you created financial freedom at like the tender age of 23, which is pretty impressive. We're gonna go into that backstory. Firstly, welcome to the show. Morgan. Great to have you here.

Thank you so much for having me. I'm fired up. I'm super excited and to total your people across the pond. Yeah,

it was my morning. It's your evening. Yes. So we found a time. Let's kick off. I mean, that's that's a pretty incredible story. Right? Most people do not achieve that level of success by 23 years old. Give us some background. How did you get into this? You know, what was going on in your life when you hit that mark?

Yeah, well, it definitely like like, if we were to start with that and feel like financially free 23 You'd think Oh, come from like a trust fund baby. You think my parents were entrepreneurs? You think I got into business at a young age, do you think all these sorts of things, but it was it was everything other than that? And I think really the biggest thing that sort of drives me motivates me was watching how I was brought up and watching. Yeah, my parents just do. You know, dad had a job and mom did what she could to raise us, you know, and, and we never struggled. That. However, money was always a conversation. You know, money was a stressful conversation for my family. And I watched all this and I think at a young age, I was like, I don't want that. When I grow up. I want to have freedom. I want to travel I want to go to nice restaurants. I want to wear nice things. These are this is the life I want to have and knowing that I have a choice. I made that decision early on. But you know, when I pretty much failed my way through school, nearly like borderline failed. I only stayed to you 12 For the parties and the girls. I just looked Yeah, like, like for real. Like I was like, This is my funnest time of my life. If I leave school, I'm gonna need to get be responsible. I'm gonna need to get a job. And I'm like, I'm not doing this every single weekend as a party, every single weekend, all the girls from school, go to the party, this is the best years of my life. And when I when I left there, though, I just got a job as a carpenter because I legitimately thought that's all I could do go become an apprentice, go do something like this, and led me down a path of you know, drugs, alcohol, depression, suicide attempt 19. You know, and through all these things, I kind of just decided I didn't want this. And I started seeking more I started seeking, what are the things actually bring me happiness, one of the things that bring me joy, what are the things that light up my life, my world, and I changed my environment. You know, that was the biggest thing for me, I really got around different people, because I looked around, I looked around myself when I was 19, I'm working 14 hours a day, 43 degrees heat, seven days a week for three weeks at a time. And how I'm getting through these days is living off drugs, alcohol, everyone around me is negative, that toxic, people go on getting arrested on the weekends, including me, you know, and that was the life. And then so I looked at it, I was like, if I if I keep choosing this, and this is this is gonna be the life I have in five years, 10 years, and all this and so I moved back down to my home town here on the golf course, which is beautiful. We're on the beach. And, you know, it's pretty hard to be miserable here. It's a great place. And, you know, I started looking for people that actually had the life I wanted, I look for people that were actually happy, I look for people that were successful look for people that will go driven. And I started surrounding myself with those types of people. And then a friend of mine, 21 years old, he I started my first business in the network marketing industry. And he gave me a CD. And the CD was a guy by the name of Jim Rohn. And if you ever heard of Jim Rohn, Tony Robbins mentor, like I know that Oh, geez, you know, the personal development space. And I listened to the CD in my car every single day, for about 90 days, as I drove to work, and it was a 52 minute audio and my drive to work was so it's 56 minute audio, my drive to work was 52 minutes every day. So I pulled into the carpark finish last four minutes went to work and start to really change my philosophy. Because one of the things I remember him saying from the start was don't wish life was easier. Wish you were better. And just that one, that one philosophy really changed everything for me because I was walking around thinking, like, how do I get here? Like, why is my life like this? Why am I like this? Why am I not happy? Why am I not rich? Why is life hard? All these things. And when he said that I was like, life just is life just is then I if I'm going to wish for something, I wish that I was a better person wish that I was stronger, smarter, had more knowledge, had more skill set, had a better mindset wish for all those things, then I can overcome anything that life throws at me. And really, that was the side of my personal development, journey, reshaping all my mindset. And I started trading out, you know, took me a while still was partying everything for the first year in my entrepreneurship journey. But I, you know, eventually started just trading out all the parties or the late nights to actually work on my business. I started sacrificing. You know, instead of trying to chase girls, I'll start chasing my goals. And you know, everything really changed in about two and a half year period and 23 years old, I booked a one way ticket to Mexico. And that went for about four years travelling the world living in Bali, Mexico, US, Europe, and just building life online.

So awesome. So awesome. I want to unpack that a little bit. Because it's an incredible story. I mean, a suicide attempt. So Young, right? You've kind of experienced rock bottom there. What What was the moment that you decided I got to do something about this? Was it shortly after that was it? You know? What, what's that? That turning point, if you like and what prompted it?

Well, it actually happened two times I attempted twice after the first time I think I was really pretending. Pretending that I didn't know what I was doing kind of thing. I think I was really like there was so much I shares quite a bit lately, actually. Because there's there wasn't podcast back then. There wasn't Instagram for me to hear content of people sharing and talking about these things. So when I was happening to me, I legitimately thought I was broken. I thought something was wrong with me. And I was trying to sort of ignore it. And then it happened again, you know, I had like a second attempt. And then after I literally remember actually waking up and knowing like this is not right. And it's not me. Like I know it's not me and I made a decision I asked myself the question I say before I came up here like a year ago, I was so happy. I had my dream job. I was going out every weekend with my friends. I was living with my friends on go surfing on the weekends. Life is awesome. I was like I got a good career. You're ahead of me, I'm gonna get my apprenticeship become a builder become a property developer retire by 50 laughs great. And the next one, I got thrown in and completely changed my environment. And I asked the question, How could I be so happy and confident and certain about my life a year ago, and now today trying to take my life. And the first thing that came down to me was the, the people you surround yourself with. And that's what really took me on this trajectory of really trying to figure out how to create a successful life. And I teach now the four pillars of creating a life of your dreams. And the first pillar is the right environment. Because it all comes down to that, like, we're literally the sum of the five people we surround stuff with, we've all heard it, right, there's a difference of knowing something and actually doing it. A lot of people complain about the life they have complained about the results they have. And they know that they're not they go home to a relationship, and they're not happy in it. They know it. They know that they're unsatisfied. They know they don't have a good job. Well, they know they don't like the people to surround yourself with. They know that I'm feel appreciated in this circle, but they keep doing it. You know. So it's one thing to know about something and one thing to actually embody it, and go and create the result. So, you know, what really happened for me was, was that question, what changed that what changed was the environment. And the second thing that came after it was literally making the decision to go, I'm never ever again, going to put anything before my own happiness again, that was a big thing. And then the last thing that sort of come to me a decision, the mind was sort of strange it was get the hell out of this place. Go back to go back to the place where you actually were happy. And second one was eat some fruit. Right? It was it was just crazy. Right? It's crazy. But like our bodies just know, like, I was so unhealthy. We're living off drugs every day. I was like, that's what was happening. We're having drugs and selling drugs in the middle of the day drugs at nighttime. You know, eight bourbons at night taking cocaine in the morning, cocaine during the day. And then prescription pills. I forget other call just to complete downers. I forget what they're called, it's complete dislike. I forget what they were just a fistful of them at the afternoon is sort of like just numb everything mixed with alcohol. So next day, you wake up so groggy, just have some coke, and you're good again, go here, get some pepperoni step. So my body was so shit, you know, so. So when my intuition or my high self, whatever you want to call it says, Cohen, eat some fruit. I was literally like, it was telling me like, go get healthy. And I remember the next day I went, I woke up and I went for a run. I was like, I'm just gonna go for a run, and work my body and eat some like healthy stuff, you know. And then I think I actually ended up leaving there a few days later, and just be like, I've gotta get out of here. Get out of here. I gotta start working on my health again, to get healthy, you know, because if I'm not right, you know, physically, then I'm not gonna be right mentally. And that's exactly what I saw unfold.

So powerful. I mean, I think people are really often will underestimate like, the how much the body conditions the mind, we think we've got to like, think our way, right, but actually, and also what you said there about changing the environment. I mean, you just up sticks and left. So you're not around those people anymore. I think, yeah. How much harder? Do you think it would have been to try to make those changes still in that location? And how those incidents you would have been by the friends and things?

Yeah, like massively and like, so psychologists have done testiness, right. So I've studied, I've studied human behaviour, psychology and neuroscience, like I'm a master trainer of neuro linguistic programming, hypnotherapy, you name it, and all what it should about human behaviour. And one of the things, this is why it's so important, the very first test that was ever actually like a study done in psychology is the first test, they've done psychology. And they've done it so many times since they want to see what happens with people when they're in different environmental situations. And the test was, they put four people in a room and three of them were paid actors, one of them was a real person. And they put on the screen four lines, completely identical, except one one was about double the size. And they said to the people, all you need to do is circle which line is different from the others. And they told the actors, you have to purposely choose the wrong one. So they told them exactly which one they had to pick. So the actors come in, and they will pick a and the answer is clearly see. And the real person comes in looks at them, and they're like, they'll fuck off it right? If the answer is see, because anybody would think that right, does it see? And they reset, and they do it again, shuffle up the numbers. All the actors pick one one letter, and the other guy comes in live it bizarre. So he's like, this is strange, picks the right answer. But then what happens is after about the fourth, fifth or sixth time, they go back in and he starts to really question himself. He's not laughing about anymore. He's legitimately looking at them going. Shit, am I the wrong 1am I wrong? They're questioning things. And then eventually, he actually circles the exact same one as them. And it happens every single time. So what psychologists have actually proven, is that it's more important for us to fit into the people we're surrounded with, than it is for us to actually stand out and do what we believe is right. So if you ask the question Can, can you outperform a bad environment? No. Because environment is stronger than willpower, eventually, eventually, you'll either succumb and just do what everyone else is doing. Or you'll feel like you're the absolute most alienated person, unless you've got some sort of thing where you don't care about what anyone else around you thinks of you is doing, and you're so strong willed, you know, you don't really have much of a fighting chance. So what psychologists have proven time and time and time again, you'll actually fall into the same patterns, beliefs, habits, and behaviours of what everyone else around you is doing, not because you believe is the right thing to do. But because you don't trust yourself of what you think is right, you will do what everyone else is doing. Because it's a clan mentality is the tribal mentality. It's more important for us to fit in and be safe with those around us, then is for us to risk standing out and you know, carboneras in the back, so I really don't think if I had stayed there, you know, I could have been really strong minded and try to fight my way through it. Sure. But then what do I do when I come home and everyone's drinking, I'm trying to not drink. I'm trying to not take drugs. And everyone else around me is doing, you know, the only way for them to bond together is to have a drink at the bar. And if I choose Oh, well, I'm gonna go for a run. I'm literally self alienating myself. You know, and I just don't think really anyone's gonna be up for that. The fact that you could, if you try to prove me wrong, I'm sure maybe some could do it. But it's a lot easier to go and spraying stuff with people who also have the same habits. Sorry, so of people that take health seriously that exercise that eat well, that that aren't doing all these things, right? I, my brother recently, he's, you know, been alcoholic and taking drugs for as long as I can remember. And he just recently went into rehab, and was the sober see ever been sober for six months? long as he's been sober. And I think last decade, I was like, Wow, it's amazing. I said to him, so what are you doing when you get out there? He said, Well, I'm going back to work at the place I was at before. And I said, Oh, it's not, it's not gonna do anything. So Now granted, I'm going to try and change the habit with working out everyday. Instead, I said, I liked that. However, everyone at your workplace are alcoholics. And all they do every day to buy in at the end of the work shift is go to the pub. And you know, sure enough, it was there for I think, six weeks before. start drinking again. So we'll fit into the people around us

now to search. Yeah, it's so surreal. And and after such a long time, it's such a shame. I mean, I think there was some here in the UK, like, if you go back many years ago, now, a few decades ago, Fleet Street in London was a big place for the journalist, you know, when journalism was really having its day before podcasts and things like that. And there was always a culture of just going out in the afternoon and drinking because that was what they did. And there's so many people who became accidental alcoholics, right. And this is the thing again, we're talking about, it's not so much the mind, right? It's the body, it's like conditioning, the mind. And now there is a physical addiction that you hadn't realised, because everyone was doing it. You know, they were taking lots of cocaine, you know, talking about whose office it was snowing in, and how much and going out for drinks and things. And that's how it begins. Right? It's really difficult. I guess a curious question I have is, you talked there about yourself, your brother. But it sounds like you grew up? I don't know, in a relatively sort of like, I suppose. Ordinary background, it wasn't, you know, as you said, it wasn't what wasn't rich, it wasn't. What do you think drew you to those people? And also, your brother, sort of in the first place? Why do you think you were seeking out those friendships because there, there's another version, right? Where actually, you already go and find people that also want to succeed in life.

It was just simply it was my work environment. So what happened was, well, I was 18. You know, I'm Australian, very similar to the English mentality, we love to drink and party. It's a it's a thing, right? So as soon as we're 18, I mean, all my friends, but that's all we did. We would go out every single weekend, three, four days, every weekend. And we just loved it, you know, so much fun. And, and the main thing, like a lot of my friends, actually, they weren't the problem, like, sure enough, they drank and we all went out and binge drink every single weekend. That it that's what it was. But that wasn't the problem because an 18 year old binge drinking society would say it's a problem. However, they're just an 18 year old and an 18 year old, like they'll get over it probably in a couple of years. That wasn't a problem because when we weren't drinking, we're all hanging out. We're playing sports playing footy, we're going in the gym, we're all actually healthy guys. And and we had goals and my friends were going to university and all these sorts of things. But it was the work environment for me. So what happened was everyone like I was I was a trainee so I was a carpenter and the the trainee lifestyle I'm not sure I'm not sure what's like over there but here it's it's very like that it's like you get barely get to get a job at the end of the day get get some beers you go to the pub, you know a lot of trainees are on drugs. And what changed was like my boss at the time he was he was just he's just relying on drugs like smoke weed every day, again, the speed with the missus on the weekend. And as a young kid as 18 I'm looking for him as like a role model. And that's what I thought as I thought that's what tradies do. Okay, so I just started to pick it all up. And then we all moved away to another city up here in Australia to go get some more work. And that's just quickly what it sort of turned into. So it wasn't really it's not like it was my friends. It was just really everybody at work. Like that was just the scene of this sort of city, I guess everybody else that is joined.

If you listen to this podcast, you're probably like me, you want to have high energy every day to achieve everything you want to while also protecting your healthspan and longevity. And for the last six months I've been taking a supplement called NAD region by biostat labs. Not only does it contain a powerful combination of niacin, amide, NAD three and resveratrol, which support NAD also known as the molecule of U, it has spermidine in it and spermidine helps inhibit many of the hallmarks of ageing. It also supports better cognition, improved memory, heart health and circadian rhythm. And I'll tell you what I've noticed since taking NAD region is consistently high energy, which is a huge bonus, given that I'm always juggling the demands of running both my businesses alongside my kids and all of their activities and my daily workouts. And I've also noticed a lot of new hair growth, which is common with spermidine. The beauty benefits are of course, always welcome.

Yeah, now many of you are around all the time, right is the most influential parts a little bit like when kids are at school. They're not at home as much as they are at school and term time it's going to have a massive influence and people their age. And as you say your boss you are you're looking up to I'm curious do you drink any alcohol now? How's that? Wherever wherever you ended up with that.

So I've I've cut down and cut down and cut down and cut down and cut down I'm 30 years old now. I used to I used to really value just fun and partying and adventure. So when we would travel I've travelled nearly 50 countries you know, so a lot of the time we would travel and you mix that with making some money and would always want to go and get you know champagne and drink and whatever. It was New Year's Eve I can't remember how many years ago maybe maybe five six years ago I was in New York City and we had an all you could drink by tab me in the Mrs. And we just drank as much as you possibly could. And champagne as well. And if you haven't been champagne drunk, I found out the hard way that night. It was literally one of those days like I fell out of a taxi, I smashed my face open on the curb, I woke up the next day, cards and everything. I thought I got in a fight with somebody. And it was that was the day I left. I said, I said, I'm never doing this again. And I legitimately stuck to it. And I think because I used to just drink to get blackout, like that's what it was. I thought that was the goal. Like Let's just drink, absolutely wasted. And then after that, I think I've only ever been super drunk maybe once since then. And every time we drink. So since then I've not actually find a bit of balance, and how can I go out and have a few drinks and have some fun and know when to actually stop? And I've been getting this better and better actually reading that. And literally this year, I think is this is the first year I've I've barely drank anything, actually. So you know, to answer your question now. It's extremely, extremely, extremely rare to have anything, even if me and my partner will have a glass of champagne or wine, we both are just like, I just don't even want it like sometimes we'll order one like, you know the feeling right, a nice bar or having cheese and wine at a winery. And then I'm like, my buddies is rejecting it. I'm like, I just I just don't like it. So I barely drink now, I'm feeling more sharp than ever, I feel fantastic. And the best thing is I don't, I don't care. I don't want it. So if we do go out, you know, I might get a soda water, or maybe one glass of champagne. It's gonna be good champagne. Otherwise, I just literally feel the next day like I'm all about optimal results. I'm all about like, and this is how I actually got my head around. It was I worked out. I said, What's my business goal. And when I first heard it was I was like, I want to make $100,000 a week. That's the goal. So I worked it out. I was like there's roughly $15,000 a day, roughly cool. If I going absolutely shit faced, and I'm hungover tomorrow, that's worth $15,000 Because I can't perform at my best. And then as I get older, now it's two days as $30,000. So when I started to reframe it like that, and think okay, so now it actually gives me ask the question, is this party tonight worth $30,000? If the answer is no, which usually every single time is easy, I don't drink. Because I know the repercussions. If I can't perform tomorrow, my absolute best if I can't, if I'm not sharp and focus and work out and feel good, I'm not going to make great decisions in my business, I'm not going to talk to clients, well, I'm not going to be I'd be creatively thinking about the next 10 years, my vision, I'm not gonna be able to think about the impact you want to have in the world. And that's gonna be completely diluted. And I really do wish that I could find the balance because I know some people that are extremely successful and still have good times. But I think for me fun, and a good time now has just completely changed. But how I literally reframed it was was doing that going, what's this actually costing me? You know, and now we've got goals when we're doing a million dollars a month. So it's, it's, it's climbed by two and a half x i really now one day is about $45,000. So I just steer away from it. Like my body. If I have four or five drinks, I can feel the next day. Now I'm just not as sharp and to me, it's not worth it.

Yeah, I mean, I just I gave up alcohol just over a year ago. And and I agree with you, but the longer I go without it, the less I want it. Really? Yeah. Yeah, it's easy, so much easier. And it's easier to like there's no question is there you don't have to make a decision. And you're just like not drinking. And I think is the same as you like it has a profound effect in my life with them. So let's talk about this and setting goals. Because I think people listening and thinking these are these are big goals, lofty goals. They're awesome. How do you I think you measure you've got four pillars. One is environment, which we've spoken about absolute crucial to success. What are the others? And how are you using those to achieve your goals, which obviously get bigger as you progress?

Yeah, cool. So it looks so step number one before actually diving into the four pillars is everybody must have a vision. And it sounds so simple. So let me explain it. Because I said before, there's three levels of learning. First one is knowing information, you can read it in a book in here about him like now I know that second level is understanding information. Think of like a business professor. It never made any sense to me as to why people would study business at university or college, to learn from someone who has a job, no disrespect, but it just doesn't make any sense. But that's where the system is a bit flawed. Because a lot of people are teaching practical things or theoretical things that they just understand, but they don't actually have life experience to me. Because the third level is to actually embody the results. So when I share things if If people hear like, Oh, but I already know that cool. I asked you a question. Do you do it and does your bank account show it? Because if it doesn't, then you're not actually doing it. Okay. And we can continue to learn things. So the first step is people must have a vision. You know, I share about you know, the ultimate success formula, which I can talk about as well. But the first thing is you need to actually know your outcome you need To know what you actually want, if me and you were standing in a square room together, and I say, hey, run a straight line to that corner of the room as fast as you can go, you'll start running. But now throw a chair down in front of you throw a table down in front of you, what do you do? You probably just run around it. The disobeyed exactly, what I asked you to do is sit around a straight line. You see, humans, when they're absolutely clear on their outcome, they would just use their own problem solving skills, and quickly figure out the next the way around the obstacle, and get to their own outcome. But if we're saying the exact same room, I say, run anywhere in this room you want a smart person would say, well, where should I go? Some people will just start running without even asking a question. And that's what most people do in life. They finish school, they just start running. So what's your goals this year? I don't know. What's a goal? Like to me, that's so scary. You wake up every day, you have no idea what you was, what's the intention of you living? What are you doing? It blows my mind. But if I say run a straight line, your wish I run, I said, You're a smart person, figure it out, you start running somewhere. Now throw a table down in front of you, what do you do, most people will either completely stop and think, Oh, my God, this is the universe, telling me it's not a sign, you know, I shouldn't go this way. Or I'm like, Oh, my God, or they stop or they turn they go a different direction. But in each situation, the obstacle was the exact same obstacle, the second time and they weren't clear on their outcome, the obstacle become the problem, and it took them out of the game, they got distracted. So you've got to be absolutely clear on what it is you actually want. Okay, and then the first pillar, surround yourself with people that either have that, or also going there. Because if you surround yourself with people that have a similar goal, financial freedom, success, health, if you really want the best healthier life, insurance, how not going to go and make friends with everybody down at the local pub, you're not going to make friends with people that don't value health, it's just not gonna make any sense, because you're gonna start doing their patterns. But if you go straight up with people that are people like you biohackers going to communities of people that are invested in health and value the health thrown off, you'll probably start to figure out a thing or two about how to better your own life as well. So get really clear on the outcome we actually want, and then get around people that have that exact result. Or that going to the same destination, you can literally change everything for us. The second thing is, is to get into the right vehicle. So with the right environment, and the right vehicle, in order to get from where we are to where we want to go, we've got to find a vehicle. For some people, it's themselves. Some people, if it's a health goal, the vehicle might literally be you. Or it might be someone you get to meet and might be a personal trainer or a coach or mentor is something that you've actually got to get into, again, transform the life you have. Therefore what I teach people, it's mostly business, you want to create a life of freedom, you don't just get to do it by working your job every day. So what is the what's the business you want to create? If not a business, let's look at an investment strategy. So in 10 years, you've got enough passive income coming in, where you can literally live the life you want, that's your vehicle. But if we're not going to look at a vehicle, then you'll never actually get there. Right? You can be the best racecar driver in the world. But if you don't have a car to get into yakking going anywhere, and vice versa, you can have a Ferrari sitting there. But if you're petrified to drive the car, you will never leave the driveway. So it's really about having a few things. So right vehicle, the next one is the right timing. Is that the right timing? Now this really comes down to a few things. So four things. Number one is we're going to see it already talked about creating a vision. Okay, we get really clear on our vision, we got to see it. Number two is we've got to have belief in it. We're going to have belief in it. Now people like Well, yeah, it's easier said than done. Here's the thing. All beliefs are completely made up. So if we're going to make our beliefs, why don't believe in yourself? Why not just and sometimes I do this with people. I'm like, Just pretend for a moment. Pretend you're an actor. If you're an actor, for a movie, and you had to have the belief that you could actually achieve this. How would you act? How would you show up? How would you walk? How would you talk? Like what would be the certainty you know, and actually have the belief that it's already done? It's gonna happen, you know, Roger Bannister, the first guy that break the four minute mile. Scientists and professors literally told him that if he that it's physically impossible, his heart would burst out of his chest. If if he did it. Say everyone else believed it wasn't possible, but not Roger. He was like, No, I see it, I'm visualising it. And that's why I say the first thing is to see it right to visualise it, there's been studies done those three groups of basketball players, the first group, they took them in and they said, Hey, you guys want to go practice throwing perfect three photos all day long. Great. You go over there. Second group. You guys go home, no practice for you today. And the third group yoga sit on the bench blindfolded, and you're gonna have a vision realise shooting perfect three froze all day long. So you need to re study these people a week later. Group one who actually went through the practice, they improved something like 67%. Group two, they didn't improve really anything at all because I did nothing they went home. But group three that did nothing other than sit on the bench and visualise build, connect the neurons in their brain. So they have muscle memory, on actually how to do the behaviour, they improved about 42%. But they didn't do anything except visualise it, it is visualise it see a lot of people visualise, but they visualise the worst outcome. And then sure enough, it happens. I knew this was gonna happen. Because you frickin thought

I needed on it as well in your head,

because they see it, but then they add so much emotional certainty to it as well. It's like, oh my god, I'm so scared about it, I know it's gonna happen, then the universe, God, whatever, okay, whatever we focus on it, we're going to drive energy to it, it's gonna manifest, it's gonna happen. So when I started to actually see the things we want, and the more we start to see it and actually start to suppress into our subconscious brain, our subconscious mind doesn't know the difference of what's real and what's fake. So we start to actually see the outcome we want to have in this world. The results we want, we see it, we feel it, what is the feeling in your body, and once you've actually had that, you see the unconscious mind wants to start to see it, it's going to feel it as if it's actually happened. And when we start to feel it, we're going to start to actually do the behaviour of the result of actually having this is how we start to jump vibrations, we start to actually track the things to us that we need to get us to the outcome. But it won't happen without the third step. Third step is to actually decide on it. And it sounds so simple, because it all is so simple. But we've got to literally decide we're going to make the decision. See a lot of people, me, myself included, for so long. I was 99% committed to my to my dreams, nine I'm saying committed to the life I want. And I often say this in a room, I say, I you know, I run around seminars over here, I say put up your hand if you're in a relationship. Right? And everyone, you know, people put up their hand I say, women, if your man came home and said to you, I'm 99% sure that you're the woman of my dreams. What would you say? And then we just hit everyone like, oh, no, no. And then and then I said to the guys, I said, What do you think about it? And a lot of men are like, Oh, but you know, we've come 99% of the way. And the women are always like, I want the 1% more. And it's the exact same thing. It's it's the exact same thing for all our goals, all our dreams. Anything worthwhile. Like and for men listening to us. I know you've got a big female podcast, we're probably all listening like, Yes, I agree. If your man comes home says I'm 99% You don't care about the 99% You wonder why aren't you fully committed? Why are you doubtful? Why aren't you certain? But as soon as you get that one 100% commitment, what are you willing to do? You're willing to give your 150%? Yes, but if you get 99% Your whole back,

I think, isn't it Jack Canfield said, yeah, it always comes back into my mind 99% 199% as a batch and 100% as a breeze and it's so true.

So true. Because it's like it's like a gruelling process. It really is it really is 99 It's like so hard. Well, 100% It's actually a lot easier, it's a lot easier. 99% is really just because things start to work because the universe or whatever, like things just start to come things that has happened for us. And in the other way. It's an energetic exchange. So to make the full decision is literally making a decision of being like, I'm burning the bridges, I'm burning the boats. I'm not going back this, this is what it is, it's done. And the fourth part of becoming the right time is to take action. The there's four levels of action. First one is no action, free self explanatory, just like the second basketball team, go home do nothing, you get nothing as well. Second level of action is blaming complaining and justifying. See, the moment we blame. And when we complain the moment we justify. We the justification is the worst because we say Oh, but I can have this because anything that follows the word because we're actually installing a new belief. The bad thing about justifying is we actually believe our own bullshit. So when we say I see this, I've decided on this, but I can't do it just yet. Because you don't know how hard it is for people like me. Your brain goes yeah, no, that's so true. It is hard for people like us. Let's just try again next year. It's the worst because you actually believe it is can grow and see in the conscious and unconscious mind to you. Actually, that makes sense. Dammit. Oh, well. So we've got to be aware that if we're blaming others, blaming circumstances, complaining or justifying that's it Do some action. But the horrible thing, it takes effort. So if you get like effort, shift up to at least the third level, which is some action, start building some good foundations in place, start putting some good habits, changing the environment, taking action, taking some baby steps, and doing those sorts of things until you're ready to go to level four, which is all out massive action. Well, that massive action is the only thing that's really gonna get you everything that's happening, you know. So that's the follows action. That's the right timing. And the last one is becoming the right view. The right view is three areas. Number one is the right belief system. Like I said before, if we can have the right belief system that's actually incongruency, with the results we want. So if we want to create a million dollar business, but we have a belief system that says, I'm not good enough to make a million dollars, or a million dollars is scary. But what if I make a million dollars and my mom won't love me, my dad won't love me, we have a belief like that. Our brain will do anything to avoid pain. It wants to seek pleasure, avoid pain. That's why our brain wants to do two primary things. So we have a belief that's not congruent. We have a belief that's not congruent with our vision, then we'll continually you'll feel like you've been pulled one way and then back the other way. So we're going to make sure that we have got congruent beliefs. And just be aware are the beliefs your scientists or the stories, you're saying to yourself, strengthening that vision? Are they in alignment, right, because you can have the Ferrari, you can have the driver in the front seat. But if there's a if there's a kink in the fuel hose, a Ferrari is not driving at its best, you probably beat it in a Toyota Camry. Alright, so good, actually unsynched the valves and make sure they're in alignment. The second one is the right value system. So chances are he's friends with the right people, you will start to pick up similar values to them. If if you don't have a value system that has money while success in it, if you don't think it's important for you to make money, wealth success, then chances are you're not going to go after money success, well, at least you put other things there first. So values are things that at one of our deepest levels of programming in our psyche, that we will do things that are more important to us before we will do things that we believe are right. So we'll go after the things that we believe are so important. Obviously, you value health, you've been an entire life around it. If you never valued health, you'd never you'd never go down this hole. Right. And so, so this is when people start to have congruent, conscious and unconscious incongruency together. So I like to say when we can get this, right, the conscious mind is like the goal setter, but the unconscious mind is the go getter. And we can get these on the same page together. What's out, like success in anything is extremely simple, extremely easy. Most people are just getting in their own way. They're all you know, things here listening from the past or whatever. Then the third part to the right, you is just to simply have the right attitude. You know, the right attitude if people didn't take one thing from this whole podcast today is to develop the right attitude. It's, it's, this is going to help you get through the rest of your life. See, there's only three types of people in the world first person, they sit, and they complain about the when they this is so, so hard life so hard. I can't do it. I did it for years of my life. years in my life, and I just kept attracting the same shit. I wondered why, like, oh my god, I knew it's gonna happen. Right. And then the second person, the second person, they just sit and they hope that the wind will change for them. They put their crystals out, they wait for the full moon. And they just keep doing the same thing over and over and over again hoping that things will change for them that they don't want to get off their ass and do something. That's the definition of insanity. But the third person, they just get up and they just change their sail. No stories. No questions. No complaining. The winds not blowing my direction. Okay, I'm just gonna adjust my sails. Oh, great. I'm going to adjust to what is happening. Sea Life Life is just a thing life is happening all the time. And we look at it in terms of like, oh my god, the wind the wind the wind. Adjust your sails work with it? Yeah, cool. even believe how many people I talk to you still? Oh my god. COVID you still talking about that thing that happened this over three years ago? Still, like get over it? Adjust. Adjust.

Queen Elizabeth the second set, or is he saying no, never, never complain, never explain. And if you live by that, like it's so much simpler and also so much energy wasted on complaining. And you're right. It just leads to justification. I could do this. But you know, my situation is this, this this. The problem with that is when you start you convince yourself but also when you then start telling other people, they care about you. They love you. So they want to see it from your point of view. So now they start validating that and it just becomes stronger and stronger. Right Yeah, so which

which comes comes back to the environment, right? Because if I like I, I love my circle of friends, because sometimes I think it's human nature for us to want to justify it and come and feel sorry for me you don't get it. I think it's normal. But we've got to be able to pick it up on ourself. And that's why it's good to have good friends around you. Because I've had so many my friends just call me out on it. Stop complaining. Like my mentor, actually, he's hilarious. He's like, he complain as somebody should just do it don't return. True. Just let me complain for a second and then have my moment please. Like, I don't care. Just do it. It's so true. Because yeah, life doesn't doesn't is at the end, when you're faced with the maker, and you die, you get to the end of it, you're not going to have a chance to go Yeah, but look at all this is all the reasons I didn't do it. It's going to you're going to look at your life and go either did it or I didn't do it. That's it. It's just pick up your boots gone. Just keep going.

And so I mean, we've we've sort of almost come to the end. But I guess my question here, there's a couple things I scribbled down. But if you could just round up and kind of close with my guess, is one is, when we look at that, and we're looking at reprogramming beliefs. This is the bit where people get super confused, right over affirmations. What if I don't believe it? When I'm saying it? How do I do that should be a meditation? What what? I love the way you simplify everything. How can you reprogram the belief that you want the belief that you can have that success, or that healthy body, whatever it is that you're looking to achieve?

A different ways. You know, the first one is to actually like surround yourself with people who come back to again, be your success ceiling. Okay, so I've just recently employed a marketing manager. And she's amazing. And she got her own business as well. And she said, she's like, Morgan, you don't know how much my ceiling of what I thought was possible has been raised just from working with you. I'm like, Well, that's true. It's good. You know, because when I surround myself with people, that makes so much more money than me, they break my paradigm. I was talking with somebody today. And she's like, you know, you know, we're about to crack crack eight figures this year. I'm like, shit, I've hadn't thought about that, like, wow, expands my ceiling of what I think was actually possible. But then it brings out well what if impostor syndrome comes up or these beliefs or whatever. So the first thing you do is to actually become aware of it. Become aware, okay, we can't intervene with a world that we can't see. If we're not aware that we've got these limiting beliefs or these imposter syndrome, these thoughts and stories that are holding us back, then we'll never be able to actually dissect it and do something about it. So step one is to become aware. Step two, name it something because your thoughts are not you. Right, your thoughts are not us. When the thought comes in. Most people go oh, it's me. Now they're not you. So name is something what is it? I just, I actually call mine Freddie, like Freddie Mercury. Alright, so and I used to actually have his picture of Freddie Mercury on my on my, on my mirror. And when I wake up in the morning, I look and I said not today, Freddie. Like it was just like a reminder. I'm like you I did you already much. Long story, I dressed up as Freddie Mercury runtime at an event A long time ago. And and it just sort of stuck. I was like this hilarious. Friday, the joke aside, you know, but it was me like actually constantly going, I'm in control of my mind. And my zone controlling me, I don't negotiate with, I don't negotiate with my own period. I say what I do, and I do what I say that's it, it comes up in between, I just don't entertain. But I name is something. Third thing is we got to interrupt the pattern, you see, our brains take two thirds of our body's energy per day. So all the energy our body uses every single day, two thirds of it goes on just our brain. So what it wants to do is conserve energy as much as I possibly can. So what happens is, as soon as we start to think of thought, we have 65,000 thoughts a day, on average, 95 to 98% of them are the exact same ones we had yesterday. So chances are if you've got a limiting thought, it's so strong, and you've thought it countless times throughout your life. And what happens is these neurons start the fire together, they wire together, and it creates this really strong bond and I call it like a superhighway inside of our brain. So as soon as we think that thought again, it's just it's able to access that feeling and that behaviour 10 times faster, so much faster, right? Because it's so familiar. It's so easy. So what we need to do is to actually interrupt that pattern. So we do anything to avoid pain. What I used to do, I don't have any with me right now, I just have those rubber bands, you know, like thick like black rubber bands get like a concert or whatever, I would carry one of them around. And every single time I throw a negative thought out snap, it didn't hurt like a bitch. I'd snap it and I'd snap it not snap it because and then what I'll do is I'll interrupt the pattern and then kiss my wrist better. And then I'll insert a new belief so for example if it's like I you know, I'm not good enough, I would snap it I'm not gonna snap I'm not gonna snap and then kiss it better and say I'm more than good enough I'm so capable. I'm so certain I'm so confident so capable of anything couple momenti because what starts to happen in the in the neuropathy plays, it starts to trigger the thought. And now you interrupt it with pain. So not only do you create something, it's like taking the CD out of a CD player and scratching it and putting it back in, it just won't be able to play that track ever again. So if you do this long enough, and you interrupt the pattern, interrupt pan, interrupt pen, there's so many different ways to interrupt it. But for me to give you listeners something right here, do it put a band on your wrist and snap it every single time you get a negative thought, because I guarantee you the next time you start to think it, your brains actually gonna go hang on a second. I don't want to think this because it fucking hurts every time. You know. And if you start to interrupt with pain, and immediately reinforce it with emotion, reinforce it with emotion with a new, strong, empowering belief. Like I'm more than capable and like use your body I'm more than capable feel the certainty. And yeah, you might, you might feel a little weird doing this. But guess what I assess people all the time, I say, I would rather be a little weird and really rich and really happy than really cool and really broke. Choose your options, right? So insert, become aware name with something snappy ban, interrupt the pattern, then reinforce it with the exact opposite something that's empowering and actually move your whole body and feel the feelings of actually in your body. And repetition now is repeated over and over and over and over. There is a lot of power in affirmations. But I prefer incantations in quotations actually chanting them. When I started to learn this stuff. I flew I was at an event in Kansas, Australia and I flew to Hawaii right after this event. I started learning about how to reprogram the mind. And I went for a beach run up through Waikiki Beach for about three hours back and forth, back and forth. chanting, chanting, I'm unstoppable. I'm on stuff. I'm gonna stop. I'm so happy and grateful now that I'm paid $100,000 A year I'm so happy and grateful now but that's where I'm starting. So starting right and I was just in graining all these are just been in use my entire nervous system and embedded into the cells of my body, enhance the emotions, whether you know, and there was probably some people I ran past that were like, This guy's a bit fucking weird. But you know what? Steps later, they were relevant from my life.

I love that you said that. Because I think that's the thing. The incantations get the energy behind it, right? Whether you go and do something physically, like you were saying there, whether you put music on, there's like so much more power behind that you feel it. It's on a very visceral level, and it kind of moves out and it's in your heart space. And you're like, yes, you know what I mean? It's empowering. So amazing. You have shared so much where can people find more about you? I know you're travelling loads. In fact, I think you're coming to London. Soon.

Might be in London. Yeah. So people can find me two places really. First one is my instagram at Morgan T. Nelson comm follow us there. I always put heaps of stuff out. I think not sure when this goes live. But we've actually working on a quiz right now where if people are a little bit stuck, and not sure how to get that next level in life or their business, they can put in their options in my quiz. And it spits them out which one of the pillars that they need to work on. And I give them like a free 15 minute like training video on that. So maybe I'll get my team to send that I'm not sure it might not even be ready. I'm not sure why this is out. But, you know, hopefully the quiz we ran you can get that just get some extra like customised training, we really cool. Instagram, otherwise my podcast dream out loud. We've got we've had so many amazing guests on there. You're gonna be a guest on there. You know, so you can come and hit us up there. We've we prep so much content mini episodes, full episodes. So there are three places Instagram or the podcast.

Awesome. We will link to all of those in the show notes. I'm looking forward to chatting to you on your show. Thank you so much, Morgan. This has been super fun and super, super uplifting and high energy and I hope that for everyone listening, just take one of those things away, go and listen to it again. Make some notes, take one thing away and start acting on it immediately. It's been amazing to have you on Thank you.

Thank you so much.
