Welcome back to episode #65 of The 30-Day Year Podcast, where Dave and Jacq Conway explore one of the most misunderstood topics in success and personal growth: belief. They go deep into what belief is, how it works, and why it's essential to achieving extraordinary financial goals. Dave shares that after more than two decades studying mindset and spiritual principles, he has come to this one core realization:

Belief is not something you slowly build. It’s something you repeatedly choose.

And according to Dave, choosing belief daily changes everything, because your life expands in proportion to your belief system.

In this episode, Dave and Jacq discuss the role that belief plays in achieving a true 30-Day Year… (turning your annual income into monthly income.) They also reveal the seven basic fears that hold people back from achieving their goals and how to overcome them. They also discuss the relationship between courage and belief.

Then they spend the second half of the conversation focusing on giving you practical tools you can use immediately to cultivate belief.

Dave also shares his personal journey from being emotionally "frozen" and struggling, to living in what he describes as a perpetual state of gratitude.

Plus, you’ll discover how gratitude changes your emotional frequency and draws you closer to what you want. (While fear pushes it away.)

Dave then introduces the concept of "imaginative prayer" (using mental imagery to connect with a higher power) and explains how visualization helped him condition belief even when part of him was skeptical.

Plus, at the close of the episode, Dave will also share a simple two-step framework you can use to get yourself to BELIEVE you can have anything you truly want…

So be sure to listen until the end!

Key Takeaways

1.) Belief Isn’t Something You “Work On”; It’s Something You Choose. (0:01:31)

In this episode, Dave gives us an amazing redefinition of belief itself.

He says that most people think belief is something they need to develop over time before they can act. But Dave challenges that idea completely.

Instead, he explains that belief is a feeling, and feelings can be chosen.

He argues that people don’t need to “work on belief.” They just need to practice choosing belief repeatedly until it becomes natural.

That means, rather than waiting until you feel ready, certain, or confident, you begin acting from belief first!

2.) The Seven Basic Fears That Control Most People (0:05:51)

Dave revisits Napoleon Hill’s “seven basic fears” and explains how fear can block you from allowing yourself to believe in bigger possibilities.

Tune in to find out what Dave now believes is the strongest fear you must be aware of.

Because that fear can destroy belief before you ever get to pursue the life you actually want.

3.) Courage Is Only the Beginning, Eventually It Must Become Faith (0:08:30)

Drawing from the book Power vs. Force, Dave explains that courage is the tipping point between negative and positive states of consciousness.

But courage is fragile and lives extremely close to fear.

In the beginning stages, courage is enough to get moving. It helps you take the first step.

But Dave says courage must eventually convert into belief.

Then belief must convert into faith. Then faith becomes knowing.

That knowing is where momentum, consistency, and major life changes begin to happen naturally for you.

“Growth starts in courage. But you can’t sustain courage all the time.”

4.) Gratitude Pulls You Closer to the Life You Want (0:11:57)

The conversation then shifts into gratitude. Dave explains that fear separates you from what you want, while gratitude draws you closer to it.

Dave shares a personal story from 2017. During a gratitude exercise at a Bob Proctor seminar, he could only think of 3 or 4 things he was grateful for… and that scared him.

Because he realized how angry, bitter, and emotionally frozen he had become internally.

Over time, he began to “thaw out” emotionally. And today, Dave says he feels he lives in a perpetual state of gratitude.

How did he do it?

5.) Visualization and “Imaginative Prayer” (0:19:01)

Believe it or not, one of the most practical sections of this entire episode centers around prayer, imagination, and visualization.

Dave shares an interesting reframe around prayer, and then he describes his personal process of what he calls “imaginative prayer.”

He also shares that when he first started visualizing years ago, part of him thought it was nonsense. But now, $23 MILLION dollars later, the results speak for themselves.

You’ll also learn how Dave conditioned belief back into his subconscious mind and changed his internal programming.

6.) Dave’s Two-Step Framework for Building Bigger Belief (0:23:18)

As the episode comes to a close, Dave leaves us with one final important reminder:

“If you don’t choose belief, fear will choose for you.”

Then, Jacq asks Dave the final defining question:

“What needs to happen to truly believe we can have what we want?”

Dave answers by sharing an amazing Two-Step Framework for building bigger belief.

Be sure to tune in to the full episode to discover what this is!

What to Do Next…

1.) The 30-Day Year Goal Setting Guide:

In this episode, Dave explains that belief needs a clear target.

Most people never build belief because they’re too vague and unclear about what they actually want. But you can’t become emotionally activated around a blurry future.

That’s why the first step in Dave’s framework is clarity.

The 30-Day Year Goal Setting Guide is designed to help you identify a crystal clear goal that excites you and genuinely stretches your current identity and reality.

Because once your mind has a clear target… belief has somewhere to go.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, scattered, uncertain, or disconnected from your future, this guide will help you reconnect with possibility again!

2.) Dave Conway’s Visualization Checklist:

One of the biggest revelations in this episode is that belief can be conditioned and conditioned daily. Dave shares how he used visualization and “imaginative prayer” to literally reprogram belief back into his subconscious mind.

This Visualization Checklist was created to help you do the same thing!

With this Visualization Checklist, you’ll train your mind emotionally and repeatedly until belief becomes more natural than fear and doubt.

If fear has been keeping your goals at a distance, visualization will help you close that gap.

Because the subconscious mind responds to emotionally impressed images, and the images you rehearse today eventually become the life you experience tomorrow.
