Ep 72: The Cost of Your Paradigm: What Your Beliefs Are Really Costing You
Do you realize how much money your current mindset and paradigm is actually costing you? Not in vague, feel-good terms. In actual dollars and cents. Seriously, how much is staying the same costing you? The answer may shock you!
In this episode, Dave and Jacq Conway reveal the exact formula to calculate the cost of your paradigm, the invisible belief system controlling your habits, your perception, and your results. Dave runs his own 2017 numbers on camera: a carpenter earning $5K a month with a $100K a month goal. The gap? $3,166 a day. $1.14 million a year. $45.6 million over a working lifetime.
The scariest part is that most people are paying this hefty bill every single day and have absolutely no idea.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Why your beliefs control your habits, your perception, and even what you attract…
The 2 fastest ways to identify and catch a limiting belief in the act… (most people never spot the second one)
The exact “cost-of-the-paradigm” formula, step by step (grab a pen and paper for this one!)
The surprising reason it took Dave 31 months to change his belief system…
The very first move to make if you want to make more money and achieve different results...
And much more!
If you've ever felt like you're working hard but your results keep landing in the same place, this episode will show you exactly where to look, and what it's costing you not to.
Tune into the episode… run the numbers… then decide what you're going to do about it now! Jacq and Dave will guide the way!
Key Takeaways
1.) Your Beliefs Sit On The Throne Of Your Life (0:04:09)
Beliefs are invisible. A belief is an idea or image fixed in your subconscious mind, and it expresses itself through habit and behavior.
Your beliefs control your attitude, your perception, and even what you attract into your life.
That's why Dave says the word “beliefs” needs to be put on a throne with a crown on it. Because whatever sits on the throne dictates the kingdom, and your kingdom is your life.
Once you truly grasp this, you'll never look at your results the same way again. Tune in to hear Dave explain why beliefs are the root cause of absolutely everything you experience.
2.) Two Ways To Catch A Limiting Belief In The Act (0:05:41)
Here's the tricky part: if beliefs are invisible, how do you find them?
Dave shares two practical techniques on the podcast. The first is to observe your results. What you've manifested up to this point is a direct printout of your programming.
For example, if someone currently earns $5,000 a month and wants to earn $100,000, Dave knows exactly where they're programmed.
The second technique is more surprising…
You have to hear this one for yourself!
3.) Why Jacq Initially Laughed At The Idea of a “30-Day Year” (0:07:00)
The first time Jacq was presented with the idea of a 30-Day Year (turning your annual income into your monthly income), she laughed at it.
Here she was, a polished professional. Educated. Confident in a boardroom. And yet the idea literally did not compute for her initially. As she puts it, she had developed her intellect, but not her person.
Note: Her reaction (the laugh) WAS the belief system revealing itself. Listen to hear how her thinking changed, and what she'd never been taught in all those years of formal education.
4.) The “Cost-Of-Paradigm” Formula, Step-By-Step (0:12:11)
This is the heart of the episode, and Dave suggests you grab a pen and paper.
The formula starts simply: take your monthly financial goal and subtract your current monthly income.
So for example, in May of 2017, Dave was earning $5,000 a month as a carpenter, and set the 20X goal of earning $100,000 a month.
That means the “gap” between where he was and where he wanted to be was $95,000 (!) Which meant every month he failed to change his paradigm was costing him $95,000. That's $3,166 a day, and $1.14 million a year.
But the formula doesn't stop there. When Dave multiplies that gap across a decade, and then across a full 40-year working career, the number gets genuinely jaw-dropping. (And that's before you factor in compounding or investing any of it.)
Tune in to the full episode, run your own numbers, and see how much money your paradigm is really costing you.
Fair warning: it may startle you… and Dave says that's a good thing.
5.) The Hardest Thing A Human Being Will Ever Do (0:19:18)
Dave says the hardest thing a human being will ever do is change their belief system. Why? Because if you don't believe what you've been programmed to believe... then who are you?
It took Dave 31 months to fully change his own belief system and go from earning $5,000 a month to consistently earning $100,000 a month. (Now that monthly figure is MUCH higher.) On the surface, it looks like it took him 31 months to earn the money. But as he explains in the episode, what actually changed in those 31 months was something much deeper.
He also reveals a strange quirk of human nature: For some odd reason, most people fiercely defend a belief system they didn't even create!
Tune in now to discover how Dave learned to choose his own beliefs instead, and how you can too!
6.) Self-Determining Or Predetermined? You Get To Choose! (0:24:23)
Do you want to be a self-determining person, or a predetermined person? Either your paradigm programs you, or you program your paradigm. The choice is yours!
As Jacq puts it, there is no neutral. You're either growing or disintegrating.
Then they get practical, breaking down the very first move you must take when you start going after a huge goal worth changing for. Dave shares exactly how he did this when he was a carpenter earning just $5,000 a month, aiming at multiplying his income to start earning $100,000 a month.
Tune in to the full episode to hear the full breakdown!
What to Do Next…
If there's one core message from this episode, it's this:
Your current belief system has a steep price tag, and every day you leave it unexamined, you're paying it.
But here's the beautiful part. The number you calculate isn't meant to discourage you. It's meant to show you exactly how much growth, freedom, and opportunity is available on the other side of changing your paradigm!
So grab a pen. Run the numbers. And then decide what you're going to do about it.
