Cast Off Stupid Beliefs: David Wood’s Test for What’s Actually Holding You Back

This lesson is part of Chicago 2013
The full recording is free with an account. One email gets you in.

Somewhere in this session there’s a man whose business hasn’t moved in years, and when David Wood finally gets him talking about why, the real block isn’t strategy or effort. It’s a memory. His father worked constantly and barely saw his kids, and somewhere along the way, without ever saying it out loud, the man decided that if you succeed at work, you fail at home. Nobody taught him that on purpose. He built his entire ceiling out of a belief he never once examined, and it was quietly sabotaging every plan he made.

That’s the target of this whole session: the beliefs you’re carrying around that you never chose and never tested, the ones doing nothing for you except making you miserable.

What actually makes a belief worth throwing out?

David draws a clear line before he goes any further. He’s not touching anyone’s faith, politics, or personal convictions. Whether you’re a committed atheist or someone who holds your religion sacred, that’s yours to keep. What he’s after is narrower and more useful: the beliefs that aren’t actually true and aren’t actually serving you, the quiet rules absorbed from parents, old bosses, or a string of failures, that now sit in the way of the life you say you want.

Here’s what something stupid is. It’s something that you’re believing and the only thing believing that is doing is making you miserable.

That definition is the whole mechanism of the session in one line. It doesn’t ask whether a belief is cosmically true. It asks what the belief is costing you, and whether it earns its place. Most people never run that test. They just keep believing whatever got handed to them, because nobody ever told them they were allowed to check.

What happens when you actually ask where a rule came from?

David walks through his own history of doing exactly that. Early on, an upline insisted he had to run three-way calls to succeed, so he fought it for a while, then eventually just decided he wasn’t going to do them and let people who wanted to make those calls make them instead. He was told prospecting on the phone was mandatory, so he stopped picking up the phone to recruit, and his numbers went up instead of down. He was told home meetings were the only path to real duplication, so he flew from Costa Rica to Alaska, pulled out an old contact list, and called people for four straight days. Four showed up to the meeting. He broadcast it online anyway and sponsored dozens of people who were never in the room.

None of that worked because he found a smarter tactic. It worked because he stopped assuming the rule was true just because someone repeated it with confidence. “Who says you can’t do it? Who says that you can’t be the next Lawrence Tam?” That question, asked honestly instead of rhetorically, is the whole hinge the session turns on.

Why does the belief shift change the results before the tactics do?

Two stories in the room make the point concrete. A man who’d been stuck at the same income level for years finally connects to the actual reason he’s building a business at all, and within a couple of speeches he’s not just doing the same activity harder, he’s roughly doubling his output because the internal resistance that had been quietly braking him is gone. A woman who’d plateaued for months gets asked one question about her purpose, breaks down in tears realizing what she’d been avoiding, and her income multiplies several times over across the following months, without her working more hours. She says it plainly herself afterward: she was working less, not more.

The pattern in both cases is identical. The strategy didn’t change. The daily actions barely changed. What changed was the belief sitting underneath the behavior, and the results followed the belief, not the other way around. That’s the order most people have backwards. They chase a new tactic hoping it fixes an old feeling, when the feeling was what needed fixing first.

What do you do with a belief once you’ve spotted it?

You don’t have to argue yourself out of it or find some grand new philosophy to replace it with. You just have to notice it’s there, ask who told you it was true, and decide honestly whether it’s earning its place. The father who couldn’t succeed because success meant failing at home never chose that belief. He just never questioned it until somebody asked him to say it out loud. Once it was named, it stopped running the show.

Whatever version of that belief you’re carrying, whatever old voice convinced you that patience, dues, or permission has to come before results, it’s worth putting through the same test this session runs on every belief in the room. Watch how David walks the room through casting off the ones that don’t serve them and replacing them with ones that actually do.

Transcript

We got plenty of time, right? So here's what I want to talk about here for a second is I want to talk about casting off stupid beliefs, right? Because we all believe a lot of things that are stupid. And a lot of us aren't just willing to admit when we believe something's stupid.

And what's something stupid? Here's what something stupid is. It's something that you're believing and the only thing believing that is doing is making you miserable. That's it, right?

It's making you miserable to believe that. And here's why I'm flexible with what I believe. I'm not a little different than some of you. I'm not going to mess with anybody's beliefs here that are like sacred to you, you know what I mean?

We've got Tony Rush in here who's like a sacred atheist and then we've got like, you know, the opposite end of the spectrum that like Christianity is sacred to them. And I'm not talking about those beliefs. You guys can believe whatever you choose. What I'm talking about is believing something about the world that's doing nothing but causing you pain and isn't true anyways, right?

Do you guys realize we all believe things that aren't true? You guys admit that? I get a yes? Right?

And it's, you know, who knows why you believe it. Maybe it's your parents that made you believe it. You know, you were two years old and your parents said, you know, I don't love you or whatever and then you're not loved your whole life. I have no idea why you believe the things you do, the crazy things that we believe.

Maybe our parents told us something or school told us something or maybe we failed for a long time, right? I failed in network marketing for a long time and I was told a lot of different things about what it takes to succeed. And finally, I reached a place. I reached a place where I just said, fuck this, I'm doing it my way, right?

I used to have to fight every upline I had when I got on the internet to not do three-way calls. I'd say, don't do three-way calls because I won't answer the phone anymore. And then my upline would say, do more three-way calls. It's a three-way.

Now, I didn't insult my uplines. They were great sponsors. In fact, I actually, after a while, I stopped fighting and I said, actually, do three-way calls. Just talk to him.

Because he's willing to do them. I'm not. Right? I decided what I was willing to do and not do.

And I decided what I really wanted out of my business. I decided what I really wanted out of my business. What I really wanted. And what I wanted was to build a business and have a life at the same time.

And I wanted to help other people do the same. Well, to do that, I had to do something new. I had to cast off some of the limiting beliefs that I was taught that you needed to do to succeed. See, people told me originally, you had to sit down with somebody and do this big game plan with them.

Every time they joined. Well, if I had to do that with everyone that joined, I'm fairly limited with the amount of people that can join, aren't I? Now, I'm not saying you shouldn't do that when you're new. But anything that limits you probably isn't a good way to do this for a long time.

I was told you had to prospect to succeed. Until one day, I asked the question, according to who? And I thought about it. And it was according to a lot of guys who were really good on the phone.

And I thought about how many people in my team were good on the phone. And I said, not many. Not many. And I said, I wonder what would happen if I stopped prospecting.

And I stopped. And my recruiting went up. The exact opposite of what I was told. Isn't that amazing?

I did the opposite of what I was told and my recruiting went up. And I was like, that's weird. I wonder if it'll keep going like that. And it has.

I have not talked to somebody to recruit them in like two and a half years. And there isn't anybody in network marketing I know that has sponsored more people than me now. And I know everyone. Isn't that cool?

It's just not true. So I had to ask the question, not can you recruit on the phone, but do I want to? And the answer when I asked that question and I got a great big grin was no. I'd rather be doing about anything.

So I stopped picking up the phone to prospect. Now I'm not saying you can't do that because some people enjoy it. And if you enjoy it, go do it and enjoy yourself on the phone. However, there can be another way.

People used to tell me you have to do home meetings to succeed. Anybody ever heard something like that in direct sales? You have to do home meetings to succeed. So I got in a deal and then I made 21,000 my first month.

Right? A couple years back. Because one company collapsed and I just brought some team members into this new deal. Right?

And then everybody was saying you got to do meetings to duplicate. Now I'm not saying meetings don't duplicate. They can. All right?

Look at some of the big companies that have grown like that through meetings and they do a great job. So I wanted to test it. Okay, I've made 21,000. I'm going to fly all over the place.

Now I was making total at the time around 40,000 a month. Right? So I was like, okay, I can't ask somebody to do a meeting if I don't go do one. So I flew from Costa Rica where I was living at the time.

I'm making 40,000 a month all on the internet without meetings up to Alaska to go do a meeting in my house. Because if I'm going to tell somebody to do something, I'm going to do it first. Right? You know what I'm saying?

Some people are the opposite. It's like, well, I don't want to do that. But it's really good if you do it. Go pass things out in Walmart.

So I walked up to, I went up to Alaska and I pulled out the old Rolodex of all the family and friends and people that went to church with me and high school buddies and everybody else that I ever talked to like they tell you to do. This is a couple years ago, two and a half, three years ago or so. Six months. Six months.

Eight months after I got online. And I called people for four days straight with my buddy Chris Rushlow. And boy, he wanted to punch me in the face. He's like, this is not why I started marketing online.

I said, let's just do it. So I called people for four days straight. Now, I'm a little different. I didn't have a lot of credibility growing up.

But now I was making a lot of money and had a really cool life. I was talking to people. They were like, well, how much money are you making, Dave? Thinking it's none.

Like 40,000 a month. See, I wasn't making 100% commissions then or it would have been a lot more. Trust me. I would have made 100,000 a month in 60 days in Empower Network had I had it.

I wouldn't have never made my own product or nothing, truthfully. Never. I wouldn't bother. I'd be at the beach.

Well, the other Dave Wood up there was doing it. Right? That's what I would have done, truthfully. Because I sold other people's stuff and was making that money.

I didn't make my own product on the internet for two and a half years until I'd been making 30,000, 40,000 a month for like two years straight. And was bored with all these dumb gurus. Right? And I was like, I'm going to try something new.

I'm going to try something different. So we went up. We called people for four days. All day and night.

Four people showed up to my house. I got like one per day. One of them was the taxi driver that drove me to my parents' house up in Alaska where I was holding the meeting. Four people showed up and nobody got in in the meeting.

However, I broadcast that meeting on the internet and it was hilarious. Right? And I sponsored like 30 people on the internet in the same meeting. So I wanted to know, will this work?

So then I started flying all over the country doing meetings. Because I had done my own so I could tell other people to do it. And it was amazing how all these people quit after I made them make a list of everybody I know and invite them over to their house. And we pitched them a deal and nobody got in.

And it's amazing how consistently they quit after we did that strategy. Right? I was like, so here's a person. They're excited because this guru is coming into town.

They go. They blast all their family and friends. And 10 people show up to their house. And it's awkward getting pitched in your friend's house.

Isn't it? It's real funny. Come over to my house. It's a church party.

And you reel out the whiteboard. Like just kidding. It's Amway. I actually saw Will do that one once.

We got a preacher in in Arizona. My brother Will is the one that got me in Ramway. And we got this preacher in. And we show up to do a meeting.

I was like, there's a lot of people here. And we're wearing suits. And they're all wearing. And then I was like, wow, a lot of people.

A lot of prospects. And my brother gets up. And then the preacher. I think this is completely hilarious, by the way.

Great. Amazing strategy, as you'll see in a second. He says, guys, I know I called you here for a prayer party. And while we're at it, we've got an amazing business opportunity.

Wow, they were mad. I don't know if Will remembers that story. It was really funny watching him trying to recover from that one. I've tried everything.

And then after a while, I had to ask the question, how do I want to live? And is there a way to live like I want and do this bigger and faster? I'm so sick of taking forever to make money. Let me tell you something that never works.

It's the two to four slash never plan. Because what happens in two to four years, the two to four year plan to be successful, what happens? Well, you take so long to make any money, you quit is what happens. Right?

What happens to the leaders who are preaching the plan? They're always going to start relaxing. You ever notice that? I'm always going to start relaxing in two years.

Oh, just a couple years from now and we'll be on a beach together. You know, as they're shaking like this. They're spasming out from all the phone calls. One day we're going to live on a beach and I can stop doing crack to stay alive.

You know what I mean? Well, all the leaders I know who teach this way, with the exception of maybe two or three who are like gods. I mean, they're so amazing as people. The way they influence people.

They're like, just stay in my business. You know? And all the guys I know who teach this jump from deal to deal. Every eight months.

Why? Because here's what happens. There is no money in normal network marketing. It's a fabrication.

It takes too many people to make any money. Doesn't it? Here's the, here's the message. Let me teach you how it works.

Go get five people who get five people and there'll be 25 who get five people and there'll be 125 who get five people and there'll be 625 who get five people will be 3125 until I've done this before. We get five people and there's 15,625. We get five people and there's 70, I think 70 something, 78,125 or something, I think I used to paint this out all the time. I see how amazing it is.

Unfortunately, this is actually the way that it works. So you get five people who get four people who get three people who get two people who get one people and then all of them quit. That is, that is the most dishonest way to present network marketing ever, I think, truthfully, because I don't know anybody who's that true for. Now, you might sponsor.

You know what I mean? Now, some people think that, you know, if I only sponsor Dave Wood and I can go do nothing, guys, stop betting your future on luck, right? And go develop a Dave Wood. I could have been developed had I had a good mentor, right?

Go develop a Dave Wood by being a leader yourself. Go do it yourself. Did you know it doesn't matter if you ever sponsor Dave Wood? I can still help you make 100,000 a month by learning how to delete the gambling formula, which is what I call this.

This is why people hate network marketing. You guys know that? Think of five people you know and imagine what life will be like when they're working all day and night and you're on a beach. And somebody says, well, I'd like to get my grandma in and Uncle Billy would be really good.

And they've got their five by the end of the meeting. So they join because they're gambling, aren't they? They're gambling. This is called the never plan, right?

It doesn't work. Now, we have more than 78,000 people in this. In a year and a half. And we didn't do it by doing this.

We did it by doing something different. So I stopped teaching this a while ago because I don't believe people will make money that way unless they're lucky. Who in here would like a way to make money and not be lucky? You don't have to be lucky.

You can just do it. Right? Now, if you guys really learn what we're doing here, we'll help you make money before you really understand how it works. And then later we'll help you understand how it works over time.

But we don't want to skip to the understanding before you're making the money. See, some of you, you're like, I got to understand everything. No, you don't. Lawrence doesn't.

But here's the difference between him and you. He doesn't care because, well, you're spending all the time understanding he's on a date with his wife, making $80,000 a month. Right? He doesn't care how it works.

He just does it. Right? And it's part of it. He understands a lot of it.

He'll understand a lot more in a year. Some of you guys understand more than me. And you ain't doing anything. And you think it's because of the way you understand technology.

I understand technology. Okay. Cool. You want a job?

Now, there's differences. Some people are really great employees. They want jobs. Some people are here because they want to build a business.

There is a difference between having a job and a business. One's not important than the other. People who own businesses need employees. And employees love being employees.

But that's not why you're here. So don't pretend you need to know everything to get started. Just decide to get started. And I will help you get what you want if you listen.

Okay? So what's the actual formula? The actual formula is to realize this. There are predictable numbers in everything.

That you probably believe some things that aren't true. And some of you are probably waiting to take the action that you need to take and you know you want to take and you know it's the right thing to do. And you're waiting because you're like my buddy Chris. For whatever reason, whatever your background is, now I'm not insulting Chris because I did this too.

Right? It took him a long time to say, shit, this is awesome and I can just listen and do it. I was like, well, yeah. Okay.

12,000 in 20 days. Well, going snowboarding with an assistant. Right? Who's also an awesome guy.

Right? And you guys can have an assistant too. And you guys don't have to know what hotel you are going to when you show up at a city. I did a really interesting fun thing a couple of months ago showing the watch off as I put my hand on my chin.

I did an interesting fun thing, you know, a couple of months ago. My little brother Johnny was getting married. Right? And I just hate organizing stuff.

I don't really like weddings to tell you the truth because I think they're boring most of the time. It's like, oh, you're getting married. Congratulations. Can I just send a gift?

You know? And I think marriage is cool. I like being married. But, you know, the wedding is boring.

It's like why don't we go and just dance or something. You know what I'm saying? Or do something. Go snowboarding and then at the end you pick a certificate up or something like that.

And say, congratulations, I, the government, say you're married. You know? I was like, why don't we just do something fun? Well, anyway, some people are really into it.

My brother is getting married. He's excited. None of us ever thought he would get married. Right?

And so he was like, Dave, you coming to the wedding? I was like, and then my brother Will said, Dave, mom's going. Now, my mom is a missionary in South Africa right now with my dad. Now, they're Mormons.

So even though they're bad ass, you can't get them married. You can't get them to say bad ass no matter how hard you try. But I haven't seen my mom in years. Right?

A couple years. Because she's been in South Africa on a mission going and helping people. They're incredible people, my parents. And she's coming up.

So, you know, you got to go see the mom. I was like, oh, go see my mom. And so I was like, okay, where's the wedding? I emailed my brother.

And he's like, well, you know, we don't know yet. It's going to be somewhere in San Francisco. I think it was San Francisco we were in. But honestly, I don't even remember.

Because I had somebody else book the plane. And I just showed up. And I was picked up in a car and taken to a hotel. And I don't remember what hotel it was either.

But, you know, he emailed me. And he said, you know, we're doing a wedding somewhere. He says, we'll probably get married on the beach. But it's kind of cold in San Francisco.

You know, it's kind of cold. And, you know, he's like, you know, I don't know. Maybe we should have a backup plan or something. And we're going to stay at a really cheap hotel together.

You know, because I don't want anybody to have to spend any money. My brother doesn't have much money. Nor does he want to. He's like more of the hippie kid in the family.

Money is bad. You know what I mean? Unless, of course, he's getting married. So I look at this email.

And I'm like, I do not want to go to a freezing cold beach. Probably his wife doesn't either. You know, if he somehow schemes her into going along with this, it's not because she wants. And I said, and I don't want a crappy hotel.

They're awful. There's no room service in them. You ever been in a hotel with no room service? It's awful.

You've got to go out and get food. You know what I mean? You can't just like, you know, today it's like, I pick up the phone. I don't even look at the menu.

And I'm like, what do you got? And they just start listing off stuff. And I just start ordering. And I don't even look at the prices ever.

Except for in this one circumstance. It's when I go to a restaurant and I look at prices. And there's something that's dramatically more expensive than everything else. And I get that.

You guys want to save yourself like seven years of wine testing school, right? Order the most expensive one. It's more expensive for a reason. It's like watches.

You know, I started wearing this watch. And I just started feeling sexier. You know what I'm saying? Why?

Because it's more expensive than the cheap watches. You know what I mean? I understand why I never liked watches before. This thing is like wearing the Starship Enterprise on my hand.

You know? Oh, you like those? Yeah, yeah. I bought some new rings for myself and my wife.

Because, of course, we got married. We were poor. We had no, we didn't wear rings for years. You know?

And then I was like, you know, rings are kind of cool. You know what I mean? So I went and I bought some. I think I spent like $10,000 in rings.

I have a necklace my wife bought me, too. But they told me to take it off because it was running into the thing that I'm wearing. And I was like, you know what I mean? The guy's like, what are you wearing?

You can go out there. You know? I think he's expecting me to change. And I was like, this.

And he says, oh. They're not used to this. We are a different crowd. But we're diverse, aren't we?

We've got everybody here. All religions. Nationalities. Colors.

You know what I mean? So I went and I bought some. I think I spent like $10,000 in rings. I have a necklace my wife bought me, too.

But they told me to take it off because it was running into the thing that I'm wearing on my chest. It's a little thing. You know what I mean? The guy's like, what are you wearing?

You can go out there. You know? We're a different crowd. We've got everybody here.

Aren't we? We've got everybody here. All religions. Nationalities.

Colors. Belief systems. Are all welcome in Empower Network. Right?

So anyways, I get this thing from my brother. And I look at it and I says, this looks miserable. My family never, my family was never poor, but we were never rich. I'm the first one.

The first one of many. Some of them are in the room and they will be. And I look at this email and I say, no. So I email my assistant.

And I say, my brother's getting married and I want you to organize it. Poor guy. Great assistant, by the way. Great assistants can do wonders.

I said, I don't want to think about it. I don't care how much it costs. I want him to get married on a yacht and I want you to organize it. Okay?

I want everybody in my family picked up at the airport so they don't have to worry about cars or transportation and taken to a five-star hotel that I'm paying for the hotel, all their food. Massages, anything else they want. And if the bride wants to bring everybody to the hotel, she can, too. And I want you to connect with all of them and make sure if there's anybody in my family who can't make it that they get flown down and I want to pay for it.

Okay? One email. And I showed up, got picked up at the airport. Hummer Limo's took us out Friday night to a five-star restaurant.

Next day, Limo's picked us up again. Didn't take us to the dock. Popped up on a yacht, hung out on a yacht, and my little brother, who's never made more than a couple thousand bucks a month in his life, who doesn't even really truthfully know what I do, right, who just wants to play music all day, got to get married on a yacht because I love him. Now, how much did I end up spending on that?

I didn't check until later and it was like about 30 grand. 30 grand. Not bad, isn't it? Not bad at all.

Right? Some of you are like… You spend 30 grand… Well, the watch costs more than that.

Not that you noticed. I just think big shots are hilarious, don't you? You know what I mean? Like, I really actually…

I think that I might be better at certain things than other people, right, who happen to be worse at me at those things, but I don't think I'm better than anyone. I just think I believe something different and I do something different, right, and I speak something different. And I have a different purpose, perhaps, but I'm not better. I'm not better than a homeless person in Costa Rica and I'm not better than you.

And honestly, I don't think that I'm making more money than you can make. And I believe you can do this and I don't care who you are. Some of you guys are homeless like I was when I started marketing on the Internet. Some of you guys have worked at Greenpeace and I worked at Greenpeace, too.

Some of you guys work in a phone room. Some of you are lawyers and doctors. Some of you guys have made a lot of money before in network marketing and you've lost it all. I thought this story was cool.

You know what I mean? Some of you were a big shot before and you lost it somehow and you can't figure out how to recapture it. You know sometimes somebody doesn't actually know why they're succeeding and that's why it stops. You guys realize that?

Sometimes somebody can succeed for a long time and just be a part of something and not really ever understand it and when the thing goes away, they lose it and they can't ever figure out how to get it back. I've ran into a lot of guys like that. Dave, I was a big shot once. Well, let's help you be a big shot again.

You know what I mean? Let's help you. Let's help you learn how to do it. But let's help you learn to do it the right way.

The right way. And what's the right way? I don't pretend that I'm actually right. I just look at the universe like this.

Let me tell you how I see the world. This is the way I see the world and it's probably screwed up, okay, so I'm just going to warn you in advance. Because, I mean, I live in the jungle in the mountains looking out over the ocean and there's nothing to do and there's no sounds up there and birds are floating by in the background. Some of you thought that's a green screen and then you saw me jump in the pool and you were scared for just a second.

I was running over the boundary. The boundary conditions of your universe, you're like, I thought it was a green screen. Right? And I'm looking out over the ocean with my crazy hair and sometimes I don't shower for three days and I'm looking out and I think about stuff all day.

Right? And then I go to the ocean and come back and, you know, maybe do a live stream once a month or something and then maybe send an email five, seven days a week sometimes. Sometimes five. Sometimes I don't send an email that week.

And I just keep making more money. You know? So I think about a lot of stuff. Well, let me tell you how I see the world that I think is actually useful and it doesn't matter if it's true.

Let me tell you how I see it. Checking the time. Okay. We're doing good.

I've got another 45 minutes or something until midnight. I see the world like this. Information comes to us and we believe certain things about it. And we see the world in a certain way that may or may not be true.

And I don't particularly care who in here is right. Now a lot of you think you're right and congratulations. You know? I haven't been able to figure it out.

You know? Sometimes you say this is the way the universe is. Well, you're amazing. You know what I mean?

You're incredible. Congratulations. You know. You know?

All of us that disagree with each other don't know. Everybody, you know, they all have different beliefs and everyone's right and everybody else is wrong. You know what I mean? I'm right about everything.

Well, I look at it like this. We take information in so we got, I'm just going to say I. And then we've got our nervous system, right? Our nervous system has five senses and in the five senses, right, we take in millions of pieces of information simultaneously all the time.

Everybody, as you're listening to my voice, you also have something going on like a sensation at the bottom of your feet that you probably weren't paying attention to until I mentioned it. Right? And you may not have been paying attention to your breathing for hours but didn't you just when I mentioned the word breathing focus your attention inward on your breath? Right?

And some of you guys have been watching me for like an hour and a half or however long I've been talking. Truthfully, I don't even know. And I'm sitting here and I'm talking to you and everything had vanished until I pointed out the fact that it had and then all of a sudden you start looking around and noticing there's other people in the room again, right? Our bodies are amazing, amazing, amazing thingies, right?

Now our minds, after we take in all this information, we have millions of pieces of information coming in at the same time and we can pay attention to consciously five to seven things and that's it. That's it. And out of that five to seven out of millions, we create beliefs about the universe and our nervous systems. And we take in about 2% of the energy that we can measure in our environments directly around us.

So the amount of stuff we see is like nothing. And out of that we believe stuff about the world. Some of it's true. Some of it's not true.

Maybe. Maybe none of it's true. Maybe all of it is. I don't know.

But the truth is is I don't think I'm right because of that and that alone because everybody believes something different because they're paying attention to different things. For example, there's people in this room right now who all you experience is struggle all the time. All, everything's hard all the time. All you see is poor in your life all the time.

And there's other people in the room that are sitting right next to you and all they experience is wealth all the time. Everything is easy for them. Their life flows like a river. Why is that happening?

Because you believe different things. And you act in different ways about those beliefs. That's it. Because your beliefs form what actions you take and you pay attention to something new.

And I encourage you guys to stop. I encourage you guys to stop. I encourage you guys to stop. I encourage you guys to start paying attention to what you want.

And stop paying attention to what you don't because you know the truth is it doesn't matter. Somebody said, Dave, you know, what happened? You know, what's happened? Is all this stuff happening in the world?

And it's like, well, yeah, I know about that one thing because somebody told me. By the way, before I forget, and then I'm going to move on and I'm going to get to something extraordinarily valuable at the last, you know, 30 minutes of the speech and probably go till midnight because that's when they kick us out. Right? Something happened in Boston.

Uh, the other day that is, is ridiculous, uh, and, um, uh, you know, violence is never cool. Uh, and I, I don't know why people are doing the crazy things that they're doing in the world, but can we all agree that it's not cool to, uh, attack random strangers, you know? Um, let's, let's take, I want to take, um, 30 seconds. Uh, and just have a moment of silence for the people in Boston, the families that were heard.

Is that okay? Guys, let's remember, um, what's important to us. You know, that was people's families, people's kids, you know, just watching a race. We were actually supposed to do this event in Boston.

You guys know that? Some of you would have been there had we done that. I don't know. For whatever reason, we chose to do it in Chicago instead and now there's a flood and some people aren't here because of the flood, but we wouldn't have an event at all had it been in Boston, uh, and something happened and we decided to change the location.

So we're here. Everything happens for a reason and you're here for a reason and you've experienced the things you've experienced for a reason and you are somebody great, greater than you know, and you can do such amazing things, but you've got to make a decision. You've got to make a decision to do whatever it takes to live the life that you really want and decide what that is and how it's going to be. Okay?

The universe is so different for everybody and everybody believes different things and has different experiences about life. Eighteen people see the same car crash and there's eighteen stories of how it happened because the way we filter and distort the world around us through what we believe and what we pay attention to. You guys can have magic happen to you this weekend. Now I'm not talking about like wizardry, you know what I mean?

My brother's a hypnotist and to me what he does with people looks like magic, you know what I mean? Like he, he, he's like they got into some problem. They've been angry their whole life and then he's like this, you know, and, and, and he's telling them a story and then their problem goes away, you know? It looks like magic.

Some people think the success that I have looks magical. Or that Tony had, it looks magical, but I want to talk about what I mean when I say experience magic in your life and maybe you say, well, it's God blessing me. Maybe Tony Rush would say, well, it's my unconscious mind perceiving the world in a certain way. Whatever you've experienced with magic in your life.

Okay? Maybe you've experienced magic in your life. Being in the right place at the right time. Have everything come together and everything in your life flowing like a river.

I want to get you back into that zone of the most successful and most prosperous and most life that you've ever had. Living the way that you've always wanted to live. Having enough money to where you can spend your money and it just keeps coming in and you don't even have to look at how much things cost because the truth is you just don't care anymore. There is a place like that that you can have in your life to where money is not important.

Some people say, well, you know, I'm not rich, but at least I'm happy. Like the two have anything to do with each other. What does rich have to do with being happy? Happiness is a feeling that you can have at any time.

You can have it now. Even if you're poor. I was happy in a van and I'm happy now. Oh, you know, those rich people, you know.

Some of us have negative perceptions about being successful and happy. I was talking to a man the other day who the reason why he hasn't been succeeding when we really dug down deep is because. He loves his kids. And you say, what does that have to do with each other?

Nothing. And then he started laughing because that's the truth. But in his mind, sometime in his life, he'd formed a belief because of a father. Who worked more than he saw the kids that if you're successful, you can't be a good father too.

Right. So he was sabotaging his success all this time. How many people in here have done dumb things like that? Not realize.

They're dumb maybe until now. I've done dumb things like that. You know? The things that you believe.

Here's the question I have to ask. Are they getting the result that you want in your life? Or is it time to believe something better? And what's better?

Maybe it's more true and maybe it's not. But here's what I know is it can help you live like you want. So why don't we believe things like that? Why don't we believe that the universe is abundant, that the world is abundant and that you can have anything that you want to have in life.

And so can Tracy Walker. You know? A lot of people say, oh, those capitalists, you know. If they take a bigger piece of the pie, there's less pie for somebody else.

Well, why can't we just create new pies? Some people say, well, they've been successful but they're saturated. Join my deal. Like there's no agenda.

I'm just trying to help. Join my deal. I'm just trying to help you understand why this is a scam. Oh, join me.

Join me. You know? Pray for me. You know?

Because my family needs money to eat. Pray for me. You know what I mean? I would never do that because I'm Christian and he cusses on stage.

Well, I happen to know that Jesus didn't judge people. There's always reasons. And the question is, are your reasons creating what you want? Are your reasons creating what you want?

Are your reasons for doing what you're doing creating what you want? You're here for a reason. And I'm going to show you how to get that. This weekend you are going to have amazing, magical experiences because I'm going to show you the real key to success now.

In like two minutes. And then I'm going to move on from this. And I'm going to help you guys do something that's going to change your lives. Part one today.

Part two Sunday. So you guys are going to have to stick around to see it all. That fair? Okay.

So here's the deal. How do you create wealth here? Get two people a day. Follow the eight steps.

Half the steps are there to help you make money. The other half are there to help you grow. Why? Because you'll never make more money than how big you are inside.

Some people say, well, you know, you say to listen to audios every day, is that so you can brainwash me? Maybe your brain needs to be washed a little. Need to wash out the poor in there. You know what I mean?

I can't do it. According to who? According to who? Who says you can't do it?

Who says that you can't be the next Lawrence Tam? Who says that you can't make $100,000? Who told you that you're not worth it? Who told you that it's not easy?

You got to tell them it's hard. Harder than what? Isn't that a funny thing to say? It's got to be hard.

Harder than what? Well, let's see. Let's compare it to some things that are actually hard. Being a doctor.

Let's see. Is it harder than that? No. Okay.

Being a pharmaceutical salesman. Is it harder than that? Okay. No.

Being a realtor. Is it harder than that? Okay. Making money.

Okay. You know. What is it harder than? You know, when I started succeeding the first time, you know, my sisters, after I started making money, were like, well, I would never do that.

And I actually was curious. And I said, well, why? And they said, well, I never worked that hard. Now my sisters are great ladies, but they just didn't realize what came out of their mouth.

And I said, work hard compared to what? They had just gone through finals. I worked really hard for three months. And then I was making more than they'll ever make.

And I said, well, I'm not going to make more than they'll ever make from their college degrees ever. Not because I'm better, but because this is a better way to make money than them. Here's the power. Everybody in here, now you have a new reference experience about life.

Seeing what you saw today. It is impossible to leave here today and not know you can do this. Now it's just a question of whether you will. So here's what you do.

Get people to see the video. They will get in. Okay. If not, get more people to see it.

Step two, follow the eight steps, right? Get your teams to the events. Tracy Walker will tell you how much it increases your income. Now you say, Dave, why aren't you more specific about how to get the two a day?

And here's why I'm going to tell you this. And this is the weird part. And this is where I'm a little bit different. Because most people, they're just like, this is the exact specific formula that you follow to get it.

And amazingly, none of their teams ever have success. But ours have. But ours have success, don't it? Don't you guys have success?

Here's why we're not. This is the exact, precise, specific thing you should do, right? Which is what some people want us to say when they come to eat. I'm sorry.

That's not what we're here to do. My job is to do one thing. If you're not successful, there's one reason why you're not creating the success that you want. You ready for it?

Because you've fallen out of rapport with your own unconscious resources. That's why. Because. If you've been in for a month, you know everything that it takes to make $100,000 a month.

Even if you're making less. Because this is not complex. Get people to see the video. They will buy.

Follow the eight core steps and they'll stay in and continue to buy. Some people will get all in. And if you continue to do so, your team will start to succeed and your income will increase. Because I'm not going to delude you into saying if you get five people, they're going to get five.

If you're a magical, mystical genie and a magic lamp is going to bless your downline, there's going to be 78,000 people in there through some mysterious witchcraft because it ain't true. But if you get two people a day and you follow the eight steps and you're consistent with a vision all the time and you speak the same thing and life into your team all the time, what happens is eventually people will start to buy into what you do. Because your success will continue to increase as you continue to be consistent with the same message all the time.

John Chapman, you in here? Come up here, brother. Where are you? Come up here.

Come up here. John has been in my team in one way or another for three and a half years virtually since I was new. Give him a hand. Always struggled.

Now, where's the, oh, yeah, over there, the microphone. Here, pick that up, brother. Again, give him a hand. Give him a hand.

John Chapman. I love you, brother. Okay. So how much you making now?

Last month, we stopped. Microphone. Microphone. Microphone.

Microphone. Microphone. Microphone. Microphone.

Microphone. Microphone. Microphone. Microphone.

Microphone. Microphone. Microphone. Microphone.

Microphone. Microphone. Microphone. Microphone.

Microphone. Microphone. Microphone. Microphone.

Microphone. Microphone. Microphone. Microphone.

Microphone. Microphone. Microphone. Microphone.

Microphone. Microphone. Microphone. Microphone.

Microphone. Microphone. Microphone. Microphone.

Microphone. the most consistent force that I've ever seen and that is why he's here now here's what I saw happen with you and I want to this is a repeat of the Chris story this is I'm going to say this right because you were after the long-term residual too and you were filled with garbage too oh yeah I was filled with poison I mean my brain actually needed to be washed when I started doing this stuff I had to wash it from all the people that were telling me to do things that were stupid you know what I mean and then say wait what if there's a new way where I can have what I want I can have my cake and eat it too you know people say well you can't have your cake and eat it too who told you that yes you can right so I've said get two people a day right since I was in other deals why do I say that because there's predictable numbers of people that will succeed if you're consistent if you're not consistent the numbers go way down if you're not consistent success ratios that you'll have in your team turn into abysmal and that's the truth the truth is it's not consistent and it's not consistent but it's not consistent and it's not consistent and it's not consistent and it's not They might succeed because of me, not because of you, if you're not consistent, right?

But if you're consistent, the success ratios go up because people will stay around and eventually they buy into what you've been telling them to do for years and they'll start doing it and then they'll succeed, right? Right. Okay. Here's what I saw him do.

I said, get two people a day. He's like, well, you know, I need to be in the residual thing. I need to, you know, have long-term income. I need to get a few and get good duplication.

So I'm going to help every, I'm going to help everybody. I'm going to help everybody. Dave, I don't want to get two people a day. I want to help everybody.

You know what I mean? I want to help them make no money like me. Right? He loves to help people.

So I said, well, get two people a day and then you'll help them by them seeing what they should do and then they'll start copying it after a while. And so he starts doing his own thing. Well, I keep repeating the same message. Now, a few months ago, right, I remember a shift in the conversation I had with you.

I'm just going to get two people a day. Right? Now, I don't know if you're there yet. How many people are you getting a month?

I get on average a minimum of at least one person per day, sometimes four. And quite frankly, my intention, my intention for this event is to learn exactly what it is that I need to know that by the time the next event comes around, I will average four people per day. Okay. Got it.

Give him a hand. Now, stay there for a sec. I have been telling him. I have been telling him to do the same thing for three years, a little bit more, right?

Three years. Yeah, actually more. Finally, he's doing it. Finally, the same thing, right?

Literally. And I'm as ambiguous the whole time, aren't I? Yep. David, how do you do that?

We'll figure it out. I don't know. Just do it. Yeah, just get people to watch the video and then get them in.

Now, why do I do that? Because if I allow you. The freedom to make that happen, however you can. Everyone in here can do it.

And now he's doing it. Now, his intention is to get what he needs to get, to get four people a day by the next event. And you know what? He's going to do it.

I believe you. I am. How much are you making again? Well, in the last two months, last month and this month, I'm like at 17,000 now.

Last two months. 17,000 the last two months. Yeah. Well, what month are we in?

April. You forget when you're full time and you don't have to go to work. You just do whatever you want, right? This is true.

March, April so far, 17,000. What's the most you ever made in a month before this? Oh, are you kidding me? Prior to EM, maybe 800, maybe.

Maybe 800,000? No, no, no, no, no. That's like $800 maybe. Maybe.

So it works. It works. Right? Now, guys, here's the key, right?

Give him a hand. Actually, I'm going to have him sit down. I've got a few minutes. I'll finish this up.

So I'm going to walk you through something here, and I'm going to first describe to you the missing key if you guys are like, all right, what's the secret, man? What's the secret? You know, you said to get to people, okay, but I'm not going to do anything until you tell me the secret. Okay, whatever.

Right? Right? Like you'll work if I told you. You know what I mean?

Okay. The truth is, is there's nothing I can tell you to do if you don't listen that will help you at all. Nothing. I can tell you, okay, you know, I'm willing to do anything, but if you tell me those eight steps again, I'm going to punch you in the eye.

I'll probably block it. I've taken Kung Fu my whole life, but go ahead and try, and then if you feel good after you've done that, then go get two people a day and follow the eight steps and stop complaining. Okay, now, I'm not going to cover the eight steps right now. They're in the fast start training, and we don't have time, and I've got to be limited because I want to go through something here.

But here's what's missing. Here's what's missing. Let me tell you how goals are actually achieved, and there is a little bit of mystery to it because everything happens and expresses itself in a unique way because you are different than me. Right?

Nobody in Empower Network who's gotten to the top has followed the exact same path, and that's why it's a little ambiguous because it has to allow freedom for you. Okay? And here's how you can succeed, is number one, I want everybody here, everybody in here have a goal for this weekend? Start shouting out some goals.

Okay? See, you've got goals. Good enough. Okay?

Usually goals, good out of debt, that's good. Right? Learn how to get out of debt. Usually you have a goal.

Right? And usually it's like an artificial thingy. Right? You say, Dave, you've been talking for a long time.

I could go until four in the morning, but, you know, probably we've got to wake up tomorrow. You know? So get out of here in a few minutes. You know, probably.

Right? Let me tell you how to actually get what you want. First, you've got to know. Nicole, come up here real quick.

She might have been gone. I don't know. Sometimes I wear people out and they've got to go. But it's like, okay, then you're missing the secret, which I'm going to tell you at any time.

Right? Right? You've got to tap into what you actually want, and here's why. Okay?

If you look at what you're actually achieving, some of you are just blocking yourself off from what you actually want. Right? Because it's something that is just bullshit, just standing there in the way. I've got to call my downline.

I've got to help everybody. All these rattling voices in your head that are telling you to do bullshit. And it's like, well, where's the voice in your head that's telling you, like, how to have freedom and have a life and make $100,000 a month? They're like, well, I don't have one yet.

Well, then start listening to more audios, and you'll start getting one, and there'll be Dave Wood talking in your car to you. Right? Or Dave Sharp, who makes $100,000 a month, who doesn't prospect either. Or Vic, who's making several hundred thousand a month and isn't prospecting either.

Or Tony Rush, who's making $140,000 a month, who was broke a year and a half ago, who isn't prospecting either, who used to work at Walden Books, by the way, which, when I was a kid, I used to steal porn from, right? Sorry, Tony. You know? I only tell that story because when I was 19 years old, I paid back everybody that I'd ever stole in my life, double and interest.

Okay. Now, here's what happens. You've got what you're doing, you've got your results here down at the bottom, and this is what you guys are interested in increasing. I want to make $10,000 a month, $2,000 a month, $5,000 a month, $8 million a month, whatever it is.

I want to make Vic's money, you know, like you would even know how to spend $700,000 a month, you know, in three weeks. I'm going to spend $700,000 in three weeks. Okay. How much are you making?

$1,000 a month. You know? There's a little gap there to learn how to spend that much. I mean, you've got to buy watches.

And then Ferraris, and, you know, somewhere in between there, you'll learn how to spend $700,000 in three weeks, right? But you've got the results that you're creating around you. And most of the time, it's less than what you want or what you could do. Some of you are getting what you want, and you could do more if you change something, and then I'm going to show you what's next.

You've got your results. Your results are actually coming from what you're actually doing. There is no mystery to success. Your behaviors are creating your results.

And if we're honest with that, sometimes it hurts. But it's true. It's true. And it's freedom to know that you are exactly where you've made yourself be.

Exactly. Freeing, my friends. Now what's creating your behaviors? Right?

A combination of your beliefs and values and your resources. Right? Some of us have different resources. Right?

Resources can be all kinds of things. You've got beliefs. You've got values. Resources.

Right? I put here, too. Resources, though, isn't like something to change other than learning new things. And then when you have more money, you have more resources.

Right? You can do things like hire an assistant when you have money. If you don't have money, then you don't have that resource. And so you can't use it to follow the eight core steps.

But if you do have the money, you can pay for these things. And you don't have to do it anymore if you don't want. And if you do want to do it, then you can do what you want only. Life can be like that.

You can live like you want only. You can create your own life however you desire it to be. Somebody says, you've got to follow the system. Well, you have to follow what system and according to who?

Who told you this, these things? Who told us these crazy things growing up? You've got to go to school to get a good job and a good, you know, and to make a lot of money. Well, you might need one to, you know, get a good job.

But apparently, a 12-year-old who's still in school can make more than a lawyer. Right? Beliefs, values, and resources. Right?

Now, above that, right, above that, I'd put your identity, who you are, right, and your purpose or whatever. Maybe put purpose here, too. And above that, I'd put your mission, okay, your mission. You say, what mission?

Do I need to go to Africa and feed the poor? I don't know. Your mission, okay? My mission is to help you transform into what you want to be, not what I want you to be.

That's why I'm not controlling. Why? Because if I was to control, I wouldn't be able to do it. If I wasn't controlling, Chris Campbell and Chris Jones wouldn't be in.

None of you would be able to stand me. Mac wouldn't be in. Vic wouldn't be in. Tony Rush wouldn't be able to stay in.

We've all been controlled. I'm not controlling because you have the power. You are the power. That's why.

And I would never get in the way of that in your mission. You have your mission. My mission is to help you transform. Who am I?

I am a world changer, right? It's what I do. Now, sometimes all you need to do is tap into what's at the next level. Looking at my watch again because I'm just, it's shiny.

Now, if you know what to do and you're not getting it, it's because something is out of whack there, right? Something's out of whack. If you don't know what to do, that's something. That might take you three weeks to figure out because this is not being a lawyer.

You don't need to read 800 law books to figure out how to get people to see a video, right? You know what I mean? People are like, Dave, it can't be that simple. I just brought you like a 12-year-old who says it is.

And an ex-engineer just to bring in the calculator guy. And I brought up a, you know, and I brought up a lady, Tracy, right, who's also doing it. And I could bring up a hundred more people that are doing it at different levels. I brought up people that weren't listening and now are and now they're doing it.

And the only question is you. The only question is you. And it's something that you can do. It's something out of whack.

Yeah, come on up here real quick because we've got to be real quick here because I want to get to something magical here in a moment at any time. Or maybe I'll do it tomorrow and you'll have to come early to see, okay? Now here's what we did last time. I'm going to be brief.

And we get a microphone or not. Get a microphone here real quick. Is Nicole was stuck, right? Why?

Because her behaviors were creating her income. And she was making, you're making about $8,000 a month, right? Yes. Now she spoke today who thought she did an excellent job.

Here I am. Now, your behaviors were creating your income. Exactly. Right?

Now she knows what to do. And she's just working. But you're stuck, right? Very stuck.

I saw her get unstuck in one second, right? And what got her unstuck? Purpose. But her husband saw something different.

He's in the green room. He's in the green room. He saw something different in her when she got unstuck. Energy changed totally in a second by realizing why she's here, right?

Why are you here today, this weekend? What are you here to learn? What's your mission? Now, you connected to your purpose, right?

What was it again? To impact the lives of people. Right? To impact the lives of people.

And she broke into tears because it was her unconscious purpose that did that. All of a sudden, her behaviors are motivated by who she is inside. And what happened to your income? $8,000 to what last month?

$42,000. That's a big jump. Are you working harder? I'm working less.

But I will say this. With that, we've had more of our teammates on stage. Natalie Gouchet is in here somewhere, had her first $10,000 a month. Teammates that had goals to hit $5,000.

We had so many people. So the team grew. My income grew, but my focus shifted to my team. And as I focused on my team, I did keep track of what was happening, but it wasn't forcing it.

Where's my money? Where's my money? I was just watching. But my income tripled because my team income grew.

My team's incomes grew. So that was a secret. Now, here's why. Give her a hand.

Give her a hand. Now, here's why. Now, she had a dream to speak, and she spoke this time. Right?

It's part of one of the dreams. Not the purpose, but part of the dream. Right? That was part of the vision, the goal, the $1.2 million a year, the Ferrari, the Maserati, the gold watch, whatever it is.

But it's not the purpose. Now, you tapped into that purpose, her whole motivation changes. Now what happens is her unconscious resources are guiding her actions. And your team's succeeding now because she became about that inside.

And that's who she's always been, but she didn't realize it until last event. So in three months, her income jumped from $8,000 to $42,000 a month for one reason. And it's because she jumped up a level to her purpose and who she is inside. Can I just share something real quick, David?

Just to piggyback off of what I said earlier tonight about the Amazing Race, remember I talked about that with the legs? Some of you guys have been in the same leg for so long because there's some mental barriers that you're dealing with. And you're showing up at these events, and you're looking for the secret for money. But the truth is, it might be a connection to a relationship that you make with the person next to you that says something that sparks something that's holding you back.

And every time, even this weekend, with the speaker's training, again, you know, you guys look at us and think, oh, they have it all together. But we're sitting in the speaker's training again this Wednesday, and Will, his amazing self, we had another session. And I'm freaking out because I found some other stuff inside of me. And I'm like, oh, my God, oh, my God, there's something going on to me.

I got to fix it. You know, there's something else that has been holding me back, and I was broke free from that. And I share that to say that you guys are here looking for the secret, but it might be the connection to something in you that is a mental barrier that is holding you back. It might be from childhood, hearing that money doesn't grow on trees and you got to work hard for your money.

So when you hear $10,000, $30,000, your mental perception is like that can never happen because that's an annual income. That can't possibly be a monthly income. So think about the legs of the race. Why are you stuck in this leg?

Something here is you haven't completed this section yet because there's something holding you back. That's the secret to get to the next leg. And every time you go to the next leg, you'll see that your income increases. And I was stuck in a certain leg for so long, and that's how we got to the 42 is because I realized I had selfish ambition behind my business.

And I needed to shift it in a way where it was focused on others. And one last thing. You guys are trying to figure out how to build a business. Every leg of the race that you go through, you gain experience from it.

Once you get to the next leg, you now have been granted the key to influence someone else who's in the last leg or a couple legs down who's where you were. So you guys are like, oh, purpose, purpose. Where's the profit? Right?

Where's the money? I want $80,000. The money is in shifting and figuring out who are you? What is your story?

Where have you gone? What have you gone through and overcome, even in a business sense, that you can turn around and help somebody else? And that's how you'll get to making tons of money is you take your experiences and pour it into other people. And you'll see the profit will come.

That's it. Here, stick up here for a second. Okay. I got to finish in like seven or eight minutes, okay, because we're running on midnight here.

Now, this may be the longest I've ever talked, right? No. Some of you have been on my live streams, right? But sometimes it's just coming out.

It's just coming out, right? Travis is up here giving me a signal here. We've got a few minutes, all right? And I want to do something here for a second.

Now, there is another level. And every time there's something that's going to get you to somewhere new. And you guys, a lot of times, a lot of you, all you needed to see was the people on stage, and you'll leave here and succeed. Other people, you need something different.

Why ever you're here, you can get it this weekend. I promise. And it will happen. I have heard the most amazing stories come from events.

I have seen people transform. I've seen Justin Varangias come and just get around me and just transform instantly and start making money like they never knew they could make. I've seen people like Nicole Cooper transform in one second. Just by getting in touch with who she is.

And she leaves and succeeds. Because isn't that what you really want? To be able to get what you want in life? Look, let's drop the bullshit here.

Let's drop the bullshit. What really does it take for you to succeed? It takes all of you. It takes all of you.

All of you coming out. It takes who you are coming out. There will be a day when we will create 100 people a year making 100,000 a month in Empower Network. There will be a time when there's events like this going on in Portugal.

And there's events like this going on in Brazil. And there's events like this going on in India. And there's events like this going on in other places in South America. And countries like I didn't think were real, like Kazakhstan.

And there will be a day when there will be somebody who's sitting right next to you who's living the dream that you want. And the only question is, is it you? Right? And that's you that it's up to.

That's you that it's up to. So here's what I'm going to do for a second. Is I want you to realize why you're here. And get in touch with that.

Okay? And we don't have time to do what I originally wanted. And that's okay because what you needed tonight came out. Right?

And the people who didn't need it or didn't think they needed it, they left. They're like, he needs to talk about something specific. Right? Right?

Well, you know, it's funny that I've actually been talking about things that help people actually get what they want for three years. And I've gotten better at not being specific. And amazingly, people make more money all the time. It's fascinating.

Yeah, because I'm empowering you. Maybe the name of the company will help. Right? Now, here's what I want you to do.

Okay? Just for a second. We got limited time. I want to tap you into your purpose this weekend.

Okay? I want you to tap into your purpose this weekend. Your purpose. Just for a second.

And I want you to ask you the question. Why are you here this weekend? And I'm going to walk you through another exercise on Sunday before we go. Okay?

And it's going to empower you to change everything in your life if you pay attention this weekend. And miracles will happen to you this weekend as we go through when you listen and pay attention. And a lot of you have been paying attention to my voice now for a long time. And you're sitting there and you're thinking, well, I don't know.

I don't know. And you're sitting there and you say, how can you talk so long and keep me paying attention? How can I do that? I can do that because I'm speaking right to you.

And you know who you are. And it's most of you. Right? And I'm telling you the things that you need to know.

And some of the realizations that you get from this conversation that we've had today and it's just been me and you. Some of them won't pop out for another month. Some of them will come out tonight in your dreams. In fact, a lot of you tonight when you go to sleep, a lot of you are going to have a dream that's going to connect you to your purpose.

Some of you may remember the dream. Some of you may not. Most of you will have a dream. And I'm going to tell you that because I know some things about language and how many people have a dream that I suggest if I do so.

And I know that just by telling you to have a dream that 80% of you will. Have a dream tonight to connect you to your purpose. So go ahead and have one when you go home. But here's what I want you to do.

I want you to ask the question, why are you here? This weekend. And what do you need? This weekend.

To get to what you want to do when you go home. People transform at our events. Consistently every time. The leaders transform.

The people at the bottom transform. People's incomes go up from what we say. And they continue to go up from what we continue to say because we're always learning something new. And you will transform this weekend in the exact way that you want if you allow yourself to tap into your own internal resources this weekend.

And allow yourself to be in the right place at the right time. And connect with the people that you need to connect with who are in this room to get you to where you want to go. Because one connection and one conversation this weekend can be magical for you. There are people here from all over the world who are succeeding in different ways.

One of those people is going to connect with you this weekend. You can have a conversation with. And you're going to meet sometime during the weekend. Maybe doing a video together or something like that.

And a conversation with a random person that you never knew in the right place at the right time is going to change everything for you. Just like it did for me. You might meet somebody in the bathroom. It might be something a speaker said.

And make sure you pay attention to whatever speaker says. Because somebody will say something this weekend that will change you. And I promise that it will. Right?

But here's what I want to ask you. Why are you really here this weekend? And be honest for a second. Because we have limited time.

Okay? When I asked Nicole Cooper, we asked, Will asked Nicole Cooper, he said, why are you here? She tapped into a purpose. Her purpose is to help people transform.

And amazingly they are. Why? Because she's motivated from a new space. To take action now.

For the goal of the company. She's a little bit more of a strategist. And the plan of the company changed. The last event.

We went from adding in 200 a day to 600. There will be a day when empower network is bringing in 5,000 and 10,000 people a day all over the world. There will be a day when we're creating as many new six figure earners every single month as we have total in our company. Which I believe is about 97.

There will be a day when there are people with single teams that have 15,000 people in a down line. And I will be on stage as a guest speaker at their event. event and then there will be a day when they are a guest speaker at their Teams event. And there will be a day when you'll be sitting in a room and there will be 50,000 people in a room all in Empower Network with a dream.

And there will be a time when we have hundreds of thousands of people around the world driving around listening to Inner Circle audios. And there will be a time when we're in the top 20 sites in the entire world and in the top 10. And there will be a day when because you made a decision tonight to tap into who you are that you're finally living the life that you want whatever that means for you. And there will be a time when you live like you want right there and there will be a time when you can be on stage if you choose.

There will be a time when you cross across the stage and the check that you get will be so big that if I showed it to you today you wouldn't believe it was you. There will be a time when you're making more money every day some of you in the room than you've ever made in a month and some of you will make more money in a day one time within Power Network than you've ever made in a year. There are people in this room who are grandmas. And there are people in this room who are grandmas.

There are people in here who are students. There are people in here who are black and there are people in here who are white. There are Christians and non-Christians and there are atheists and Buddhists in the room who will all make $100,000 a month alike. There are people in here who like my cousin and there's people in here who think it's bullshit and you're going to make more money than you've ever made in your life too because we love you anyways even if you talk the way that you decide to talk.

And there are people in this room this weekend who will have a shift inside in belief and a lot of you already have. Some of you it will be tonight. As you dream. And there will be you standing in your power deciding to take action with everything.

Because you realize that there is no secret but you. Because if you want to know the key to success here's what it is. It's by deciding that you are here for a purpose and maybe that purpose is on the tip of your tongue and maybe it's going to come out in the middle of the night but why ever it is that you have it. Here you are for a purpose guided here by your own unconscious mind or maybe it's God or the spirit or whatever it is you choose to call it but here you are listening knowing that what I'm saying is true.

Why do you know that? You know that because of who you are inside which I'm telling you who you are and it's not what you think you are. It's always more than that and what you are now as you're listening to this is power. It's in power.

It's the empower network because the empower network is not about me. It's about lifting up you because that's my purpose. So tonight as you go home and drift off into sleep allow yourself to have that dream and wake up tomorrow and be here at 10 o'clock in the morning ready to transform again. And well we'll see you folks.

Lightly edited from the original recording — fillers removed, nothing added. Income disclaimer.

We got plenty of time, right? So here's what I want to talk about here for a second is I want to talk about casting off stupid beliefs, right? Because we all believe a lot of things that are stupid. And a lot of us aren't just willing to admit when we believe something's stupid. And what's something stupid?

Here's what something stupid is. It's something that you're believing and the only thing believing that is doing is making you miserable. That's it, right? It's making you miserable to believe that. And here's why I'm flexible with what I believe.

I'm not a little different than some of you. I'm not going to mess with anybody's beliefs here that are like sacred to you, you know what I mean? We've got Tony Rush in here who's like a sacred atheist and then we've got like, you know, the opposite end of the spectrum that like Christianity is sacred to them. And I'm not talking about those beliefs. You guys can believe whatever you choose.

What I'm talking about is believing something about the world that's doing nothing but causing you pain and isn't true anyways, right? Do you guys realize we all believe things that aren't true? You guys admit that? I get a yes? Right?

And it's, you know, who knows why you believe it. Maybe it's your parents that made you believe it. You know, you were two years old and your parents said, you know, I don't love you or whatever and then you're not loved your whole life. I have no idea why you believe the things you do, the crazy things that we believe. Maybe our parents told us something or school told us something or maybe we failed for a long time, right?

I failed in network marketing for a long time and I was told a lot of different things about what it takes to succeed. And finally, I reached a place. I reached a place where I just said, fuck this, I'm doing it my way, right? I used to have to fight every upline I had when I got on the internet to not do three-way calls. I'd say, don't do three-way calls because I won't answer the phone anymore.

And then my upline would say, do more three-way calls. It's a three-way. Now, I didn't insult my uplines. They were great sponsors. In fact, I actually, after a while, I stopped fighting and I said, actually, do three-way calls.

Just talk to him. Because he's willing to do them. I'm not. Right? I decided what I was willing to do and not do.

And I decided what I really wanted out of my business. What I really wanted. And what I wanted was to build a business and have a life at the same time. And I wanted to help other people do the same.

Well, to do that, I had to do something new. I had to cast off some of the limiting beliefs that I was taught that you needed to do to succeed. See, people told me originally, you had to sit down with somebody and do this big game plan with them. Every time they joined. Well, if I had to do that with everyone that joined, I'm fairly limited with the amount of people that can join, aren't I?

Now, I'm not saying you shouldn't do that when you're new. But anything that limits you probably isn't a good way to do this for a long time. I was told you had to prospect to succeed. Until one day, I asked the question, according to who? And I thought about it.

And it was according to a lot of guys who were really good on the phone. And I thought about how many people in my team were good on the phone. And I said, not many. And I said, I wonder what would happen if I stopped prospecting.

And I stopped. And my recruiting went up. The exact opposite of what I was told. Isn't that amazing? I did the opposite of what I was told and my recruiting went up.

And I was like, that's weird. I wonder if it'll keep going like that. And it has. I have not talked to somebody to recruit them in like two and a half years. And there isn't anybody in network marketing I know that has sponsored more people than me now.

And I know everyone. Isn't that cool? It's just not true. So I had to ask the question, not can you recruit on the phone, but do I want to? And the answer when I asked that question and I got a great big grin was no.

I'd rather be doing about anything. So I stopped picking up the phone to prospect. Now I'm not saying you can't do that because some people enjoy it. And if you enjoy it, go do it and enjoy yourself on the phone. However, there can be another way.

People used to tell me you have to do home meetings to succeed. Anybody ever heard something like that in direct sales? So I got in a deal and then I made 21,000 my first month. Right?

A couple years back. Because one company collapsed and I just brought some team members into this new deal. Right? And then everybody was saying you got to do meetings to duplicate. Now I'm not saying meetings don't duplicate.

They can. All right? Look at some of the big companies that have grown like that through meetings and they do a great job. So I wanted to test it. Okay, I've made 21,000.

I'm going to fly all over the place. Right? So I was like, okay, I can't ask somebody to do a meeting if I don't go do one. So I flew from Costa Rica where I was living at the time. Because if I'm going to tell somebody to do something, I'm going to do it first.

Right? You know what I'm saying? Some people are the opposite. It's like, well, I don't want to do that. But it's really good if you do it.

Go pass things out in Walmart. So I went up to Alaska and I pulled out the old Rolodex of all the family and friends and people that went to church with me and high school buddies and everybody else that I ever talked to like they tell you to do. This is a couple years ago, two and a half, three years ago or so. Six months, eight months after I got online.

And I called people for four days straight with my buddy Chris Rushlow. And boy, he wanted to punch me in the face. He's like, this is not why I started marketing online. I said, let's just do it.

So I called people for four days straight. Now, I'm a little different. I didn't have a lot of credibility growing up. But now I was making a lot of money and had a really cool life. I was talking to people.

They were like, well, how much money are you making, Dave? Thinking it's none. See, I wasn't making 100% commissions then or it would have been a lot more. Trust me. I wouldn't have never made my own product or nothing, truthfully.

Never. I wouldn't bother. I'd be at the beach. Well, the other Dave Wood up there was doing it. Right?

That's what I would have done, truthfully. Because I sold other people's stuff and was making that money. And was bored with all these dumb gurus. Right? And I was like, I'm going to try something new.

I'm going to try something different. So we went up. We called people for four days. All day and night. Four people showed up to my house.

I got like one per day. One of them was the taxi driver that drove me to my parents' house up in Alaska where I was holding the meeting. Four people showed up and nobody got in the meeting. However, I broadcast that meeting on the internet and it was hilarious. Right?

And I sponsored like 30 people on the internet in the same meeting. So I wanted to know, will this work? So then I started flying all over the country doing meetings. Because I had done my own so I could tell other people to do it. And it was amazing how all these people quit after I made them make a list of everybody I know and invite them over to their house.

And we pitched them a deal and nobody got in. And it's amazing how consistently they quit after we did that strategy. Right? I was like, so here's a person. They're excited because this guru is coming into town.

They go. They blast all their family and friends. And 10 people show up to their house. And it's awkward getting pitched in your friend's house. Isn't it?

It's real funny. Come over to my house. It's a church party. And you reel out the whiteboard. Like just kidding.

It's Amway. I actually saw Will do that one once. We got a preacher in Arizona. My brother Will is the one that got me in Amway. And we got this preacher in.

And we show up to do a meeting. I was like, there's a lot of people here. And we're wearing suits. And they're all wearing suits. And then I was like, wow, a lot of people.

A lot of prospects. And my brother gets up. And then the preacher. I think this is completely hilarious, by the way. Great.

Amazing strategy, as you'll see in a second. He says, guys, I know I called you here for a prayer party. And while we're at it, we've got an amazing business opportunity. Wow, they were mad. I don't know if Will remembers that story.

It was really funny watching him trying to recover from that one. I've tried everything. And then after a while, I had to ask the question, how do I want to live? And is there a way to live like I want and do this bigger and faster? I'm so sick of taking forever to make money.

Let me tell you something that never works. It's the two to four year slash never plan. Because what happens in two to four years, the two to four year plan to be successful, what happens? Well, you take so long to make any money, you quit is what happens. Right?

What happens to the leaders who are preaching the plan? They're always going to start relaxing. You ever notice that? I'm always going to start relaxing in two years. Oh, just a couple years from now and we'll be on a beach together.

You know, as they're shaking like this. They're spasming out from all the phone calls. One day we're going to live on a beach and I can stop doing crack to stay alive. You know what I mean? Well, all the leaders I know who teach this way, with the exception of maybe two or three who are like gods.

I mean, they're so amazing as people. The way they influence people. They're like, just stay in my business. You know? And all the guys I know who teach this jump from deal to deal.

Every eight months. Why? Because here's what happens. There is no money in normal network marketing. It's a fabrication.

It takes too many people to make any money. Doesn't it? Here's the message. Let me teach you how it works. Go get five people who get five people and there'll be 25 who get five people and there'll be 125 who get five people and there'll be 625 who get five people will be 3,125 until I've done this before.

We get five people and there's 15,625. We get five people and there's 78,125 or something, I think I used to paint this out all the time. I see how amazing it is. Unfortunately, this is actually the way that it works. So you get five people who get four people who get three people who get two people who get one person and then all of them quit.

That is the most dishonest way to present network marketing ever, I think, truthfully, because I don't know anybody who's that true for. Now, you might sponsor. You know what I mean? Now, some people think that, you know, if I only sponsor Dave Wood and I can go do nothing, guys, stop betting your future on luck, right? And go develop a Dave Wood.

I could have been developed had I had a good mentor, right? Go develop a Dave Wood by being a leader yourself. Go do it yourself. Did you know it doesn't matter if you ever sponsor Dave Wood? This is why people hate network marketing.

You guys know that? Think of five people you know and imagine what life will be like when they're working all day and night and you're on a beach. And somebody says, well, I'd like to get my grandma in and Uncle Billy would be really good. And they've got their five by the end of the meeting. So they join because they're gambling, aren't they?

They're gambling. This is called the never plan, right? It doesn't work. Now, we have more than 78,000 people in this. In a year and a half.

And we didn't do it by doing this. We did it by doing something different. So I stopped teaching this a while ago because I don't believe people will make money that way unless they're lucky. Who in here would like a way to make money and not be lucky? You don't have to be lucky.

You can just do it. Right? Now, if you guys really learn what we're doing here, we'll help you make money before you really understand how it works. And then later we'll help you understand how it works over time. But we don't want to skip to the understanding before you're making the money.

See, some of you, you're like, I got to understand everything. No, you don't. Lawrence doesn't. But here's the difference between him and you. Right?

He doesn't care how it works. He just does it. Right? And it's part of it. He understands a lot of it.

He'll understand a lot more in a year. Some of you guys understand more than me. And you ain't doing anything. And you think it's because of the way you understand technology. I understand technology.

Okay. Cool. You want a job? Now, there's differences. Some people are really great employees.

They want jobs. Some people are here because they want to build a business. There is a difference between having a job and a business. One's not more important than the other. People who own businesses need employees.

And employees love being employees. But that's not why you're here. So don't pretend you need to know everything to get started. Just decide to get started. And I will help you get what you want if you listen.

Okay? So what's the actual formula? The actual formula is to realize this. There are predictable numbers in everything. That you probably believe some things that aren't true.

And some of you are probably waiting to take the action that you need to take and you know you want to take and you know it's the right thing to do. And you're waiting because you're like my buddy Chris. For whatever reason, whatever your background is, now I'm not insulting Chris because I did this too. Right? It took him a long time to say, shit, this is awesome and I can just listen and do it.

I was like, well, yeah. Okay. 12,000 in 20 days. Well, going snowboarding with an assistant. Right?

Who's also an awesome guy. Right? And you guys can have an assistant too. And you guys don't have to know what hotel you are going to when you show up at a city. I did a really interesting fun thing a couple of months ago.

My little brother Johnny was getting married. Right? And I just hate organizing stuff. I don't really like weddings to tell you the truth because I think they're boring most of the time.

It's like, oh, you're getting married. Congratulations. Can I just send a gift? You know? And I think marriage is cool.

I like being married. But, you know, the wedding is boring. It's like why don't we go and just dance or something. You know what I'm saying? Or do something.

Go snowboarding and then at the end you pick a certificate up or something like that. And say, congratulations, I, the government, say you're married. You know? I was like, why don't we just do something fun? Well, anyway, some people are really into it.

My brother is getting married. He's excited. None of us ever thought he would get married. Right? And so he was like, Dave, you coming to the wedding?

I was like, and then my brother Will said, Dave, mom's going. Now, my mom is a missionary in South Africa right now with my dad. Now, they're Mormons. So even though they're bad ass, you can't get them to say bad ass no matter how hard you try.

But I haven't seen my mom in years. Right? A couple years. Because she's been in South Africa on a mission going and helping people. They're incredible people, my parents.

And she's coming up. So, you know, you got to go see the mom. I was like, oh, go see my mom. And so I was like, okay, where's the wedding? I emailed my brother.

And he's like, well, you know, we don't know yet. It's going to be somewhere in San Francisco. I think it was San Francisco we were in. But honestly, I don't even remember. Because I had somebody else book the plane.

And I just showed up. And I was picked up in a car and taken to a hotel. And I don't remember what hotel it was either. But, you know, he emailed me. And he said, you know, we're doing a wedding somewhere.

He says, we'll probably get married on the beach. But it's kind of cold in San Francisco. You know, it's kind of cold. And, you know, he's like, you know, I don't know. Maybe we should have a backup plan or something.

And we're going to stay at a really cheap hotel together. You know, because I don't want anybody to have to spend any money. My brother doesn't have much money. Nor does he want to. He's like more of the hippie kid in the family.

Money is bad. You know what I mean? Unless, of course, he's getting married. So I look at this email. And I'm like, I do not want to go to a freezing cold beach.

Probably his wife doesn't either. You know, if he somehow schemes her into going along with this, it's not because she wants to. And I said, and I don't want a crappy hotel. They're awful. There's no room service in them.

You ever been in a hotel with no room service? It's awful. You've got to go out and get food. You know what I mean? You can't just like, you know, today it's like, I pick up the phone.

I don't even look at the menu. And I'm like, what do you got? And they just start listing off stuff. And I just start ordering. And I don't even look at the prices ever.

Except for in this one circumstance. It's when I go to a restaurant and I look at prices. And there's something that's dramatically more expensive than everything else. And I get that. You guys want to save yourself like seven years of wine tasting school, right?

Order the most expensive one. It's more expensive for a reason. It's like watches. You know, I started wearing this watch. And I just started feeling sexier.

You know what I'm saying? Why? Because it's more expensive than the cheap watches. You know what I mean? I understand why I never liked watches before.

This thing is like wearing the Starship Enterprise on my hand. You know? Oh, you like those? Yeah, yeah. I bought some new rings for myself and my wife.

Because, of course, we got married. We were poor. We didn't wear rings for years. You know? And then I was like, you know, rings are kind of cool.

You know what I mean? So I went and I bought some. I think I spent like $10,000 in rings. I have a necklace my wife bought me, too. But they told me to take it off because it was running into the thing that I'm wearing on my chest. It's a little thing.

You know what I mean? The guy's like, what are you wearing? You can go out there. You know? I think he's expecting me to change.

And I was like, this. And he says, oh. They're not used to this. We are a different crowd. But we're diverse, aren't we?

We've got everybody here. All religions. Nationalities. Colors. Belief systems. Are all welcome in Empower Network. Right? So anyways, I get this thing from my brother.

And I look at it and I say, this looks miserable. My family was never poor, but we were never rich. I'm the first one. The first one of many. Some of them are in the room and they will be.

And I look at this email and I say, no. So I email my assistant. And I say, my brother's getting married and I want you to organize it. Poor guy. Great assistant, by the way.

Great assistants can do wonders. I said, I don't want to think about it. I don't care how much it costs. I want him to get married on a yacht and I want you to organize it. Okay?

I want everybody in my family picked up at the airport so they don't have to worry about cars or transportation and taken to a five-star hotel that I'm paying for, the hotel, all their food. Massages, anything else they want. And if the bride wants to bring everybody to the hotel, she can, too. And I want you to connect with all of them and make sure if there's anybody in my family who can't make it that they get flown down and I want to pay for it. Okay?

One email. And I showed up, got picked up at the airport. Hummer limos took us out Friday night to a five-star restaurant. Next day, limos picked us up again. Took us to the dock.

Popped up on a yacht, hung out on a yacht, and my little brother, who's never made more than a couple thousand bucks a month in his life, who doesn't even really truthfully know what I do, right, who just wants to play music all day, got to get married on a yacht because I love him. Now, how much did I end up spending on that? I didn't check until later and it was like about 30 grand. Not bad, isn't it?

Not bad at all. Right? Some of you are like, you spend 30 grand? Well, the watch costs more than that.

Not that you noticed. I just think big shots are hilarious, don't you? You know what I mean? Like, I really actually think that I might be better at certain things than other people, right, who happen to be worse than me at those things, but I don't think I'm better than anyone.

I just think I believe something different and I do something different, right, and I speak something different. And I have a different purpose, perhaps, but I'm not better. I'm not better than a homeless person in Costa Rica and I'm not better than you. And honestly, I don't think that I'm making more money than you can make. And I believe you can do this and I don't care who you are.

Some of you guys are homeless like I was when I started marketing on the internet. Some of you guys have worked at Greenpeace and I worked at Greenpeace, too. Some of you guys work in a phone room. Some of you are lawyers and doctors. Some of you guys have made a lot of money before in network marketing and you've lost it all.

I thought this story was cool. You know what I mean? Some of you were a big shot before and you lost it somehow and you can't figure out how to recapture it. You know sometimes somebody doesn't actually know why they're succeeding and that's why it stops. You guys realize that?

Sometimes somebody can succeed for a long time and just be a part of something and not really ever understand it and when the thing goes away, they lose it and they can't ever figure out how to get it back. I've run into a lot of guys like that. Dave, I was a big shot once. Well, let's help you be a big shot again. You know what I mean?

Let's help you learn how to do it. But let's help you learn to do it the right way. And what's the right way?

I don't pretend that I'm actually right. I just look at the universe like this. Let me tell you how I see the world. This is the way I see the world and it's probably screwed up, okay, so I'm just going to warn you in advance. Because, I mean, I live in the jungle in the mountains looking out over the ocean and there's nothing to do and there's no sounds up there and birds are floating by in the background.

Some of you thought that's a green screen and then you saw me jump in the pool and you were scared for just a second. I was running over the boundary conditions of your universe, you're like, I thought it was a green screen. Right? And I'm looking out over the ocean with my crazy hair and sometimes I don't shower for three days and I'm looking out and I think about stuff all day.

Right? And then I go to the ocean and come back and, you know, maybe do a live stream once a month or something and then maybe send an email five, seven days a week sometimes. Sometimes I don't send an email that week. And I just keep making more money.

You know? So I think about a lot of stuff. Well, let me tell you how I see the world that I think is actually useful and it doesn't matter if it's true. Let me tell you how I see it.

Okay. We're doing good. I've got another 45 minutes or something until midnight. I see the world like this. Information comes to us and we believe certain things about it.

And we see the world in a certain way that may or may not be true. And I don't particularly care who in here is right. Now a lot of you think you're right and congratulations. You know? I haven't been able to figure it out.

You know? Sometimes you say this is the way the universe is. Well, you're amazing. You know what I mean? You're incredible.

Congratulations. All of us that disagree with each other don't know. Everybody, you know, they all have different beliefs and everyone's right and everybody else is wrong.

You know what I mean? I'm right about everything. Well, I look at it like this. We take information in, so I'm just going to say I. And then we've got our nervous system, right?

Our nervous system has five senses and in the five senses, right, we take in millions of pieces of information simultaneously all the time. Everybody, as you're listening to my voice, you also have something going on like a sensation at the bottom of your feet that you probably weren't paying attention to until I mentioned it. Right? And you may not have been paying attention to your breathing for hours but didn't you just, when I mentioned the word breathing, focus your attention inward on your breath? Right?

And some of you guys have been watching me for like an hour and a half or however long I've been talking. Truthfully, I don't even know. And I'm sitting here and I'm talking to you and everything had vanished until I pointed out the fact that it had and then all of a sudden you start looking around and noticing there's other people in the room again, right? Our bodies are amazing, amazing, amazing thingies, right? Now our minds, after we take in all this information, we have millions of pieces of information coming in at the same time and we can pay attention to consciously five to seven things and that's it.

That's it. And out of that five to seven out of millions, we create beliefs about the universe and our nervous systems. And we take in about 2% of the energy that we can measure in our environments directly around us. So the amount of stuff we see is like nothing. And out of that we believe stuff about the world.

Some of it's true. Some of it's not true. Maybe none of it's true. Maybe all of it is.

I don't know. But the truth is I don't think I'm right because of that and that alone because everybody believes something different because they're paying attention to different things. For example, there's people in this room right now who all you experience is struggle all the time. Everything's hard all the time. All you see is poor in your life all the time.

And there's other people in the room that are sitting right next to you and all they experience is wealth all the time. Everything is easy for them. Their life flows like a river. Why is that happening? Because you believe different things.

And you act in different ways about those beliefs. That's it. Because your beliefs form what actions you take and you pay attention to something new. And I encourage you guys to stop paying attention to what you don't want and start paying attention to what you want. Because the truth is it doesn't matter. Somebody said, Dave, you know, what happened?

Is all this stuff happening in the world? And it's like, well, yeah, I know about that one thing because somebody told me. By the way, before I forget, and then I'm going to move on and I'm going to get to something extraordinarily valuable at the last, you know, 30 minutes of the speech and probably go till midnight because that's when they kick us out. Right? Something happened in Boston

the other day that is ridiculous, and, you know, violence is never cool. And I don't know why people are doing the crazy things that they're doing in the world, but can we all agree that it's not cool to attack random strangers, you know? Let's take 30 seconds and just have a moment of silence for the people in Boston, the families that were hurt. Is that okay?

Guys, let's remember what's important to us. You know, that was people's families, people's kids, you know, just watching a race. We were actually supposed to do this event in Boston. You guys know that? Some of you would have been there had we done that.

I don't know. For whatever reason, we chose to do it in Chicago instead and now there's a flood and some people aren't here because of the flood, but we wouldn't have an event at all had it been in Boston, and something happened and we decided to change the location. So we're here. Everything happens for a reason and you're here for a reason and you've experienced the things you've experienced for a reason and you are somebody greater than you know, and you can do such amazing things, but you've got to make a decision. You've got to make a decision to do whatever it takes to live the life that you really want and decide what that is and how it's going to be.

Okay? The universe is so different for everybody and everybody believes different things and has different experiences about life. Eighteen people see the same car crash and there's eighteen stories of how it happened because the way we filter and distort the world around us through what we believe and what we pay attention to. You guys can have magic happen to you this weekend. Now I'm not talking about like wizardry, you know what I mean?

My brother's a hypnotist and to me what he does with people looks like magic, you know what I mean? Like they've got into some problem. They've been angry their whole life and then he's telling them a story and then their problem goes away, you know? It looks like magic. Some people think the success that I have looks magical.

Or that Tony had, it looks magical, but I want to talk about what I mean when I say experience magic in your life, and maybe you say, well, it's God blessing me. Maybe Tony Rush would say, well, it's my unconscious mind perceiving the world in a certain way. Whatever you've experienced with magic in your life. Okay? Maybe you've experienced magic in your life.

Being in the right place at the right time. Have everything come together and everything in your life flowing like a river. I want to get you back into that zone of the most successful and most prosperous and most life that you've ever had. Living the way that you've always wanted to live. Having enough money to where you can spend your money and it just keeps coming in and you don't even have to look at how much things cost because the truth is you just don't care anymore.

There is a place like that you can have in your life to where money is not important. Some people say, well, you know, I'm not rich, but at least I'm happy. Like the two have anything to do with each other. What does rich have to do with being happy? Happiness is a feeling that you can have at any time.

You can have it now. Even if you're poor. I was happy in a van and I'm happy now. Oh, you know, those rich people, you know. Some of us have negative perceptions about being successful and happy.

I was talking to a man the other day who the reason why he hasn't been succeeding when we really dug down deep is because he loves his kids. And you say, what does that have to do with each other? Nothing. And then he started laughing because that's the truth.

But in his mind, sometime in his life, he'd formed a belief because of a father who worked more than he saw the kids that if you're successful, you can't be a good father too. So he was sabotaging his success all this time. How many people in here have done dumb things like that?

Not realizing they're dumb, maybe until now. I've done dumb things like that. You know? The things that you believe.

Here's the question I have to ask. Are they getting the result that you want in your life? Or is it time to believe something better? And what's better? Maybe it's more true and maybe it's not.

But here's what I know is it can help you live like you want. So why don't we believe things like that? Why don't we believe that the universe is abundant, that the world is abundant and that you can have anything that you want to have in life. And so can Tracy Walker. You know?

A lot of people say, oh, those capitalists, you know. If they take a bigger piece of the pie, there's less pie for somebody else. Well, why can't we just create new pies? Some people say, well, they've been successful but they're saturated. Join my deal.

Like there's no agenda. I'm just trying to help. Join my deal. I'm just trying to help you understand why this is a scam. Oh, join me.

Join me. You know? Pray for me. You know? Because my family needs money to eat.

Pray for me. You know what I mean? I would never do that because I'm Christian and he cusses on stage. Well, I happen to know that Jesus didn't judge people. There's always reasons.

And the question is, are your reasons for doing what you're doing creating what you want? You're here for a reason. And I'm going to show you how to get that.

This weekend you are going to have amazing, magical experiences because I'm going to show you the real key to success now, in like two minutes. And then I'm going to move on from this. And I'm going to help you guys do something that's going to change your lives. Part one today.

Part two Sunday. So you guys are going to have to stick around to see it all. That fair? Okay. So here's the deal.

How do you create wealth here? Get two people a day. Follow the eight steps. Half the steps are there to help you make money. The other half are there to help you grow.

Why? Because you'll never make more money than how big you are inside. Some people say, well, you know, you say to listen to audios every day, is that so you can brainwash me? Maybe your brain needs to be washed a little. Need to wash out the poor in there.

You know what I mean? I can't do it. According to who? Who says you can't do it?

Who says that you can't be the next Lawrence Tam? Who told you that you're not worth it? Who told you that it's not easy? You got to tell them it's hard. Harder than what?

Isn't that a funny thing to say? It's got to be hard. Harder than what? Well, let's see. Let's compare it to some things that are actually hard.

Being a doctor. Let's see. Is it harder than that? No. Okay.

Being a pharmaceutical salesman. Is it harder than that? No. Being a realtor.

Is it harder than that? Okay. Making money. Okay.

What is it harder than? You know, when I started succeeding the first time, my sisters, after I started making money, were like, well, I would never do that. And I actually was curious. And I said, well, why? And they said, well, I never worked that hard.

Now my sisters are great ladies, but they just didn't realize what came out of their mouth. And I said, work hard compared to what? They had just gone through finals. I worked really hard for three months. And then I was making more than they'll ever make.

And I said, well, I'm not going to make more than they'll ever make from their college degrees ever. Not because I'm better, but because this is a better way to make money than them. Here's the power. Everybody in here, now you have a new reference experience about life. Seeing what you saw today.

It is impossible to leave here today and not know you can do this. Now it's just a question of whether you will. So here's what you do. Get people to see the video. They will get in.

Okay. If not, get more people to see it. Step two, follow the eight steps, right? Get your teams to the events. Tracy Walker will tell you how much it increases your income.

Now you say, Dave, why aren't you more specific about how to get the two a day? And here's why I'm going to tell you this. And this is the weird part. And this is where I'm a little bit different. Because most people, they're just like, this is the exact specific formula that you follow to get it.

And amazingly, none of their teams ever have success. But ours have. Don't you guys have success? Here's why.

This is the exact, precise, specific thing you should do, right? Which is what some people want us to say when they come to us. I'm sorry. That's not what we're here to do. My job is to do one thing.

If you're not successful, there's one reason why you're not creating the success that you want. You ready for it? Because you've fallen out of rapport with your own unconscious resources. That's why.

Even if you're making less, this is not complex. Get people to see the video. They will buy. Follow the eight core steps and they'll stay in and continue to buy.

Some people will get all in. And if you continue to do so, your team will start to succeed and your income will increase. Because I'm not going to delude you into saying if you get five people, they're going to get five. If you're a magical, mystical genie and a magic lamp is going to bless your downline, there's going to be 78,000 people in there through some mysterious witchcraft because it ain't true. But if you get two people a day and you follow the eight steps and you're consistent with a vision all the time and you speak the same thing and life into your team all the time, what happens is eventually people will start to buy into what you do.

Because your success will continue to increase as you continue to be consistent with the same message all the time. John Chapman, you in here? Come up here, brother. Where are you? Come up here.

Come up here. John has been in my team in one way or another for three and a half years, virtually since I was new. Give him a hand. Always struggled. Now, where's the microphone?

Here, pick that up, brother. Again, give him a hand. John Chapman. I love you, brother.

Okay. So how much are you making now? Last month, we stopped. Microphone.

The most consistent force that I've ever seen and that is why he's here now. Here's what I saw happen with you, and I want to — this is a repeat of the Chris story — I'm going to say this right because you were after the long-term residual too and you were filled with garbage too.

Oh yeah, I was filled with poison. I mean, my brain actually needed to be washed when I started doing this stuff. I had to wash it from all the people that were telling me to do things that were stupid, you know what I mean? And then say, wait, what if there's a new way where I can have what I want? I can have my cake and eat it too. You know, people say, well, you can't have your cake and eat it too. Who told you that? Yes you can, right?

So I said get two people a day, right, since I was in other deals. Why do I say that? Because there's predictable numbers of people that will succeed if you're consistent. If you're not consistent, the numbers go way down. If you're not consistent, success ratios that you'll have in your team turn abysmal, and that's the truth. They might succeed because of me, not because of you, if you're not consistent, right? But if you're consistent, the success ratios go up because people will stay around and eventually they buy into what you've been telling them to do for years and they'll start doing it and then they'll succeed, right?

Right. Okay. Here's what I saw him do. I said, get two people a day. He's like, well, you know, I need to be in the residual thing. I need to have long-term income. I need to get a few and get good duplication. So I'm going to help everybody.

I'm going to help everybody. Dave, I don't want to get two people a day. I want to help everybody. You know what I mean? I want to help them make no money like me.

Right? He loves to help people. So I said, well, get two people a day and then you'll help them by them seeing what they should do and then they'll start copying it after a while. And so he starts doing his own thing. Well, I keep repeating the same message.

Now, a few months ago, right, I remember a shift in the conversation I had with you. I'm just going to get two people a day. Right? Now, I don't know if you're there yet. How many people are you getting a month?

I get on average a minimum of at least one person per day, sometimes four. And quite frankly, my intention for this event is to learn exactly what it is that I need to know that by the time the next event comes around, I will average four people per day. Okay. Got it. Give him a hand.

Now, stay there for a sec. I have been telling him to do the same thing for three years, a little bit more, right? Three years. Yeah, actually more.

Finally, he's doing it. Finally, the same thing, right? Literally. And I'm as ambiguous the whole time, aren't I? Yep.

David, how do you do that? We'll figure it out. I don't know. Just do it. Yeah, just get people to watch the video and then get them in.

Now, why do I do that? Because if I allow you the freedom to make that happen, however you can, everyone in here can do it. And now he's doing it.

Now, his intention is to get what he needs to get, to get four people a day by the next event. And you know what? He's going to do it. I believe you. I am.

How much are you making again? Well, in the last two months, last month and this month, I'm like at 17,000 now.

17,000 the last two months. Well, what month are we in? April. You forget when you're full time and you don't have to go to work. You just do whatever you want, right? This is true.

March, April so far, 17,000. What's the most you ever made in a month before this? Oh, are you kidding me? Prior to EN, maybe 800, maybe.

No, no, no, no, no. That's like $800 maybe. So it works.

Right? Now, guys, here's the key, right? Give him a hand. Actually, I'm going to have him sit down. I've got a few minutes.

I'll finish this up. So I'm going to walk you through something here, and I'm going to first describe to you the missing key if you guys are like, all right, what's the secret, man? What's the secret? You know, you said to get two people, okay, but I'm not going to do anything until you tell me the secret. Okay, whatever.

Right? Like you'll work if I told you. You know what I mean? Okay.

The truth is there's nothing I can tell you to do if you don't listen that will help you at all. Nothing. I can tell you, okay, you know, I'm willing to do anything, but if you tell me those eight steps again, I'm going to punch you in the eye. I'll probably block it. I've taken kung fu my whole life, but go ahead and try, and then if you feel good after you've done that, then go get two people a day and follow the eight steps and stop complaining.

Okay, now, I'm not going to cover the eight steps right now. They're in the fast start training, and we don't have time, and I've got to be limited because I want to go through something here. But here's what's missing. Let me tell you how goals are actually achieved, and there is a little bit of mystery to it because everything happens and expresses itself in a unique way because you are different than me.

Right? Nobody in Empower Network who's gotten to the top has followed the exact same path, and that's why it's a little ambiguous because it has to allow freedom for you. Okay? And here's how you can succeed: number one, I want everybody here to have a goal for this weekend. Start shouting out some goals.

Okay? See, you've got goals. Good enough. Okay? Usually goals, get out of debt, that's good.

Right? Learn how to get out of debt. Usually you have a goal. Right? And usually it's like an artificial thingy.

Right? You say, Dave, you've been talking for a long time. I could go until four in the morning, but, you know, probably we've got to wake up tomorrow. You know? So get out of here in a few minutes.

You know, probably. Right? Let me tell you how to actually get what you want. First, you've got to know. Nicole, come up here real quick.

She might have been gone. I don't know. Sometimes I wear people out and they've got to go. But it's like, okay, then you're missing the secret, which I'm going to tell you at any time. Right?

Right? You've got to tap into what you actually want, and here's why. Okay? If you look at what you're actually achieving, some of you are just blocking yourself off from what you actually want. Right?

Because it's something that is just bullshit, just standing there in the way. I've got to call my downline. I've got to help everybody. All these rattling voices in your head that are telling you to do bullshit. They're like, well, I don't have one yet.

Well, then start listening to more audios, and you'll start getting one, and there'll be Dave Wood talking in your car to you. Right? Or Vic, who's making several hundred thousand a month and isn't prospecting either. Sorry, Tony. You know?

I only tell that story because when I was 19 years old, I paid back everybody that I'd ever stolen from in my life, double, and with interest. Okay. Now, here's what happens. You've got what you're doing, you've got your results here down at the bottom, and this is what you guys are interested in increasing. I'm going to spend $700,000 in three weeks.

Okay. How much are you making? You know? There's a little gap there to learn how to spend that much. I mean, you've got to buy watches.

And then Ferraris, and, you know, somewhere in between there, you'll learn how to spend $700,000 in three weeks, right? But you've got the results that you're creating around you. And most of the time, it's less than what you want or what you could do. Some of you are getting what you want, and you could do more if you change something, and then I'm going to show you what's next. You've got your results.

Your results are actually coming from what you're actually doing. There is no mystery to success. Your behaviors are creating your results. And if we're honest with that, sometimes it hurts. But it's true.

And it's freedom to know that you are exactly where you've made yourself be. Exactly. Freeing, my friends. Now what's creating your behaviors?

Right? A combination of your beliefs and values and your resources. Right? Some of us have different resources. Right?

Resources can be all kinds of things. You've got beliefs. You've got values. Resources. Right?

I put here too, resources, though — isn't something to change other than learning new things. And then when you have more money, you have more resources. Right? You can do things like hire an assistant when you have money.

If you don't have money, then you don't have that resource. And so you can't use it to follow the eight core steps. But if you do have the money, you can pay for these things. And you don't have to do it anymore if you don't want. And if you do want to do it, then you can do what you want only.

Life can be like that. You can live like you want only. You can create your own life however you desire it to be. Somebody says, you've got to follow the system. Well, you have to follow what system, and according to who?

Who told you this, these things? Who told us these crazy things growing up? You've got to go to school to get a good job and to make a lot of money. Well, you might need one to get a good job. But apparently, a 12-year-old who's still in school can make more than a lawyer.

Right? Beliefs, values, and resources. Right? Now, above that, right, I'd put your identity, who you are, right, and your purpose or whatever. Maybe put purpose here too.

And above that, I'd put your mission, okay, your mission. You say, what mission? Do I need to go to Africa and feed the poor? I don't know. Your mission, okay?

My mission is to help you transform into what you want to be, not what I want you to be. That's why I'm not controlling. Why? Because if I was to control, I wouldn't be able to do it. If I wasn't controlling, Chris Campbell and Chris Jones wouldn't be in.

None of you would be able to stand me. Mac wouldn't be in. Vic wouldn't be in. Tony Rush wouldn't be able to stay in. We've all been controlled.

I'm not controlling because you have the power. You are the power. That's why. And I would never get in the way of that, of your mission. You have your mission.

My mission is to help you transform. Who am I? I am a world changer, right? It's what I do. Now, sometimes all you need to do is tap into what's at the next level.

Now, if you know what to do and you're not getting it, it's because something is out of whack there, right? Something's out of whack. If you don't know what to do, that's something. That might take you three weeks to figure out because this is not being a lawyer.

You don't need to read 800 law books to figure out how to get people to see a video, right? You know what I mean? People are like, Dave, it can't be that simple. I just brought you like a 12-year-old who says it is. And an ex-engineer, just to bring in the calculator guy.

And I brought up a lady, Tracy, right, who's also doing it. And I could bring up a hundred more people that are doing it at different levels. I brought up people that weren't listening and now are and now they're doing it. And the only question is you. And it's something that you can do.

It's something out of whack. Yeah, come on up here real quick because we've got to be real quick here because I want to get to something magical here in a moment. Or maybe I'll do it tomorrow and you'll have to come early to see, okay? Now here's what we did last time.

I'm going to be brief. And we get a microphone. Get a microphone here real quick. Nicole was stuck, right? Why?

Because her behaviors were creating her income. Yes. Now she spoke today, who thought she did an excellent job. Here I am. Now, your behaviors were creating your income.

Exactly. Right? Now she knows what to do. And she's just working. But you were stuck, right?

Very stuck. I saw her get unstuck in one second, right? And what got her unstuck? Purpose. But her husband saw something different.

He's in the green room. He saw something different in her when she got unstuck. Energy changed totally in a second by realizing why she's here, right? Why are you here today, this weekend?

What are you here to learn? What's your mission? Now, you connected to your purpose, right? What was it again? To impact the lives of people.

Right? To impact the lives of people. And she broke into tears because it was her unconscious purpose that did that. All of a sudden, her behaviors are motivated by who she is inside. And what happened to your income?

$42,000. That's a big jump. Are you working harder? I'm working less. But I will say this.

With that, we've had more of our teammates on stage. Teammates that had goals to hit $5,000. We had so many people. So the team grew. My income grew, but my focus shifted to my team.

And as I focused on my team, I did keep track of what was happening, but I wasn't forcing it — where's my money, where's my money — I was just watching. But my income tripled because my team income grew.

My team's incomes grew. So that was a secret. Now, here's why. Give her a hand.

Now, here's why. She had a dream to speak, and she spoke this time. Right? It's part of one of the dreams. Not the purpose, but part of the dream.

Right? That was part of the vision, the goal, the $1.2 million a year, the Ferrari, the Maserati, the gold watch, whatever it is. But it's not the purpose. Now, you tapped into that purpose, her whole motivation changes. Now what happens is her unconscious resources are guiding her actions.

And your team's succeeding now because she became about that inside. And that's who she's always been, but she didn't realize it until last event. And it's because she jumped up a level to her purpose and who she is inside. Can I just share something real quick, David? Just to piggyback off of what I said earlier tonight about the Amazing Race, remember I talked about that with the legs?

Some of you guys have been in the same leg for so long because there's some mental barriers that you're dealing with. And you're showing up at these events, and you're looking for the secret for money. But the truth is, it might be a connection to a relationship that you make with the person next to you that says something that sparks something that's holding you back. And every time, even this weekend, with the speaker's training, again, you know, you guys look at us and think, oh, they have it all together. But we're sitting in the speaker's training again this Wednesday, and Will, his amazing self, we had another session.

And I'm freaking out because I found some other stuff inside of me. And I'm like, oh, my God, there's something going on with me. I've got to fix it. You know, there's something else that has been holding me back, and I broke free from that. And I share that to say that you guys are here looking for the secret, but it might be the connection to something in you that is a mental barrier that is holding you back.

It might be from childhood, hearing that money doesn't grow on trees and you got to work hard for your money. That can't possibly be a monthly income. So think about the legs of the race. Why are you stuck in this leg? Something here is you haven't completed this section yet because there's something holding you back.

That's the secret to get to the next leg. And every time you go to the next leg, you'll see that your income increases. And I was stuck in a certain leg for so long, and that's how we got to the 42 is because I realized I had selfish ambition behind my business. And I needed to shift it in a way where it was focused on others. And one last thing.

You guys are trying to figure out how to build a business. Every leg of the race that you go through, you gain experience from it. Once you get to the next leg, you now have been granted the key to influence someone else who's in the last leg or a couple legs down who's where you were. So you guys are like, oh, purpose, purpose. Where's the profit?

Right? Where's the money? I want $80,000. The money is in shifting and figuring out who are you? What is your story?

Where have you gone? What have you gone through and overcome, even in a business sense, that you can turn around and help somebody else? And that's how you'll get to making tons of money — you take your experiences and pour it into other people. And you'll see the profit will come. That's it.

Here, stick up here for a second. Okay. I've got to finish in like seven or eight minutes, okay, because we're running on midnight here. Now, this may be the longest I've ever talked, right?

Some of you have been on my live streams, right? But sometimes it's just coming out. Travis is up here giving me a signal here. We've got a few minutes, all right?

And I want to do something here for a second. Now, there is another level. And every time there's something that's going to get you to somewhere new. And you guys, a lot of times, a lot of you, all you needed to see was the people on stage, and you'll leave here and succeed. Other people, you need something different.

Whyever you're here, you can get it this weekend. I promise. And it will happen. I have heard the most amazing stories come from events. I have seen people transform.

I've seen Justin Verrengia come and just get around me and just transform instantly and start making money like they never knew they could make. I've seen people like Nicole Cooper transform in one second, just by getting in touch with who she is. And she leaves and succeeds. Because isn't that what you really want?

To be able to get what you want in life? Look, let's drop the bullshit here. What really does it take for you to succeed? It takes all of you.

It takes all of you. All of you coming out. It takes who you are coming out. There will be a time when there's events like this going on in Portugal. And there's events like this going on in Brazil.

And there's events like this going on in India. And there's events like this going on in other places in South America. And countries like I didn't think were real, like Kazakhstan. And there will be a day when there will be somebody who's sitting right next to you who's living the dream that you want. And the only question is, is it you?

Right? And that's you that it's up to. So here's what I'm going to do for a second. I want you to realize why you're here.

And get in touch with that. Okay? And we don't have time to do what I originally wanted. And that's okay because what you needed tonight came out. Right?

And the people who didn't need it or didn't think they needed it, they left. They're like, he needs to talk about something specific. Right? Well, you know, it's funny that I've actually been talking about things that help people actually get what they want for three years.

And I've gotten better at not being specific. And amazingly, people make more money all the time. It's fascinating. Yeah, because I'm empowering you. Maybe the name of the company will help.

Right? Now, here's what I want you to do. Okay? Just for a second. We've got limited time.

I want to tap you into your purpose this weekend. Okay? I want you to tap into your purpose this weekend. Your purpose. Just for a second.

And I want you to ask you the question. Why are you here this weekend? And I'm going to walk you through another exercise on Sunday before we go. Okay? And it's going to empower you to change everything in your life if you pay attention this weekend.

And miracles will happen to you this weekend as we go through when you listen and pay attention. And a lot of you have been paying attention to my voice now for a long time. And you're sitting there and you're thinking, well, I don't know. And you're sitting there and you say, how can you talk so long and keep me paying attention?

How can I do that? I can do that because I'm speaking right to you. And you know who you are. And it's most of you. Right?

And I'm telling you the things that you need to know. And some of the realizations that you get from this conversation that we've had today, and it's just been me and you. Some of them won't pop out for another month. Some of them will come out tonight in your dreams. In fact, a lot of you tonight when you go to sleep, are going to have a dream that's going to connect you to your purpose.

Some of you may remember the dream. Some of you may not. Most of you will have a dream. And I'm going to tell you that because I know some things about language and how many people have a dream that I suggest if I do so. And I know that just by telling you to have a dream that 80% of you will.

Have a dream tonight to connect you to your purpose. So go ahead and have one when you go home. But here's what I want you to do. I want you to ask the question, why are you here this weekend?

And what do you need this weekend to get to what you want to do when you go home? People transform at our events. Consistently every time.

The leaders transform. The people at the bottom transform. People's incomes go up from what we say. And they continue to go up from what we continue to say because we're always learning something new. And you will transform this weekend in the exact way that you want if you allow yourself to tap into your own internal resources this weekend.

And allow yourself to be in the right place at the right time. And connect with the people that you need to connect with who are in this room to get you to where you want to go. Because one connection and one conversation this weekend can be magical for you. There are people here from all over the world who are succeeding in different ways. One of those people is going to connect with you this weekend.

You can have a conversation with. And you're going to meet sometime during the weekend. Maybe doing a video together or something like that. And a conversation with a random person that you never knew in the right place at the right time is going to change everything for you. Just like it did for me.

You might meet somebody in the bathroom. It might be something a speaker said. And make sure you pay attention to whatever speaker says. Because somebody will say something this weekend that will change you. And I promise that it will.

Right? But here's what I want to ask you. Why are you really here this weekend? And be honest for a second. Because we have limited time.

Okay? When I asked Nicole Cooper — Will asked Nicole Cooper, he said, why are you here? She tapped into a purpose. Her purpose is to help people transform. And amazingly they are.

Why? Because she's motivated from a new space. To take action now. For the goal of the company. She's a little bit more of a strategist.

And the plan of the company changed the last event. There will be a day when Empower Network is bringing in 5,000 and 10,000 people a day all over the world. There will be a day when there are people with single teams that have 15,000 people in a downline.

And I will be on stage as a guest speaker at their event, and then there will be a day when they are a guest speaker at their team's event. And there will be a day when you'll be sitting in a room and there will be 50,000 people in a room, all in Empower Network with a dream. And there will be a time when we have hundreds of thousands of people around the world driving around listening to Inner Circle audios. And there will be a time when we're in the top 20 sites in the entire world and in the top 10.

And there will be a day when, because you made a decision tonight to tap into who you are, you're finally living the life that you want, whatever that means for you. And there will be a time when you live like you want, and there will be a time when you can be on stage if you choose. There will be a time when you cross across the stage and the check that you get will be so big that if I showed it to you today you wouldn't believe it was you. There will be a time when you're making more money every day, some of you in the room, than you've ever made in a month, and some of you will make more money in a day one time within Empower Network than you've ever made in a year.

There are people in this room who are grandmas. There are people in here who are students. There are people in here who are black and there are people in here who are white. There are people in here who like my cousin, and there's people in here who think it's bullshit, and you're going to make more money than you've ever made in your life too, because we love you anyways even if you talk the way that you decide to talk. And there are people in this room this weekend who will have a shift inside in belief, and a lot of you already have.

Some of you it will be tonight, as you dream. And there will be you standing in your power deciding to take action with everything. Because you realize that there is no secret but you. Because if you want to know the key to success, here's what it is.

It's by deciding that you are here for a purpose, and maybe that purpose is on the tip of your tongue, and maybe it's going to come out in the middle of the night, but whyever it is that you have it — here you are for a purpose, guided here by your own unconscious mind, or maybe it's God, or the spirit, or whatever it is you choose to call it, but here you are listening, knowing that what I'm saying is true. Why do you know that? You know that because of who you are inside, which I'm telling you who you are, and it's not what you think you are. It's always more than that, and what you are now as you're listening to this is power.

It's in power. It's the Empower Network, because the Empower Network is not about me. It's about lifting up you, because that's my purpose. So tonight as you go home and drift off into sleep, allow yourself to have that dream and wake up tomorrow and be here at 10 o'clock in the morning ready to transform again. And well, we'll see you folks.
