STORIES FROM

THE WORLD DOMINATION SUMMIT

a note from ANDREW WARNER

Have you ever wanted to do something that you knew made sense and still

couldnt bring yourself to do it?

Youre not alone. Thousands of people listen to my interviews with top

entrepreneurs, and they dont implement what theyve learned. Many of

them were stopped by one thing, and its the same thing that once held

me back, too.

After I started a successful online greeting card business, I decided to build

an invitation site. I knew it was important to talk to customers before I

built anything. My entrepreneur friend Jon used invitation sites a lot and

complained about them constantly. He was the perfect guy to talk to, right?

But I didnt talk to Jon. I thought, who am I to ask Jon for feedback? I dont

even have a site yet. Or what if he thinks my new idea is dumb, and then

he thinks Im stupid?

So I didnt talk to Jon or to anyone else. Instead, I gave in to those. I call those

unwanted and untrue thoughts Counter Mind thoughts and for much ofmy life they held me back from doing what I wanted. Because those Counter

Mind thoughts kept me from asking for feedback, when I launched my site,

it bombed. Nobody used it.

After that, I made it my mission to figure out how to diffuse the Counter

Mind and get in touch with thoughts that are true, useful and wanted. I

call these True Mind thoughts. My wife Olivia and I began working with

hundreds of entrepreneurs to develop a process to recognize and take action

on our True Mind thoughts.

a note from ANDREW WARNER continued

And after working with hundreds of people, I found that there are four key

steps to bring out the True Mind.1. Recognize your Counter Mind. What is it saying?

2. Question your Counter Mind. Are those thoughts even true? Do they

even matter?

3. Discover your True Mind. What thoughts are true, useful and wanted?

4. Strengthen your True Mind with a simple meditation exercise.

These techniques are so powerful that when I spoke about them at WorldDomination Summit, more than 100 attendees emailed me afterward to

share their results. Here are some of their success stories.

Turn Self-doubt into Self-Confidence

by MARC BINKLEY

When I started my business, I was plagued by self-doubt.

Am I doing the right thing? Am I doing it the right way? Who do I think I am

to try this? Does this market opportunity really exist or am I making it up?

I was trying something new, and new things bring uncertainty. Uncertainty

leads to questioning, and those questions lead to doubt.

The self-doubt was starting to crowd out my passion, and I knew it was

limiting my chances of success.

But the True Mind Meditation grounded me. I hate to sound like Stuart

Smalley, but affirmations about being good enough, smart enough, and

likeable are surprisingly effective.

Now after I do the exercise, I feel reassured, re-energized, and confident

to move forward. Im forced to clear my head of the negativity that limits

my potential.

Tame the Monkey Mind

by ROBERTA ROGERS ROGERS

I was struggling to sit still. I felt like I didnt have time for anything.

But during the True Mind Experience, I felt a calmness come over me.

There was a warm and comforting energy that reached from my knees to

my fingertips, and I could tell something big was happening.

I made the commitment to perform the exercise every day. Before, I felt I

was too busy for something like that, but you just have to make the time.

If something seems impossible, change your mindset.

Stop Panic Immediately

by C HR I ST Y M A R E K

I was in the top three. I had to be at the stage door by 3 p.m., with an original

limerick to recite in front of 3,000 people.

I was thrilled. And then I started to panic.

Could I write a winning limerick with so little time? Could I recite it on

stage without stumbling through it or doing something stupid, like barfing?

I was a bundle of nerves. I fidgeted and bounced around in my seat, my

stomach in knots, completely unable to focus. And I desperately needed to

focus if I was going to pull this off.

Ive meditated for many years, so I tried some of my go-to mantras and

breathing techniques, but they didnt work. Then the True Mind Meditationcame to mind. I did the exercise, and my breathing calmed. I was functional

again.

My limerick came to me almost immediately (whew!). This physical process

was the only thing that helped me focus.

When youre freaking out, anchor your mind to something physical.

Decide How You Want to Feel

by R A C HE L WHA L L E Y

I went through a divorce and have struggled to make ends meet as an entre-

preneur on my own. The stress about money has been hard to manage, and

Ive second-guessed my business direction a number of times.

So when I got the opportunity to do the True Mind Meditation, I was all

in. I chose my mantra for the year: I help thousands of women be free.As I did it, I felt tingly and lit-up, yet clear and focused. At that moment, I

committed to practicing daily.

The exercise is all about focusing on what you want to feel, so it helps me stay

centered and not get overwhelmed. Im so grateful for this presentation at

World Domination Summit, and I cant wait to check in next year, when my

ebook, workshop, and my speaker platform will be solidly in place!

Face the Fear of Rejection

by ESTHER OAKLE

I struggle with the fear of rejection, like cold calling potential clients and

even teaching my classes.

But when I did the True Mind Meditation, I decided my mantra was I

bring others joy.

Then I had this epiphany:

Wait, if I bring joy, and Im reluctant to share that and put it out there, then

Im being a joy hoarder!

I realized that Im helping people by giving them a chance to have what I

can offer. When I get up in front of a class, the students are there because

they want to have fun. They want all the joy I can bring. Theyre not thereto judge me, they want to rock it.

This has radically shifted my approach to every call I make and every class

I teach. When I start feeling nervous, I focus on that mantra for a minute

and my energy totally changes. This week, I taught my best class to date!

Use your mantra to change your focus away from nervousness and

towards confidence.

Accept the Past and Move Forward

by JACK SCHUR

My entire life, I relied upon a very simple formula:

(extremely hard work) + (operating with great integrity) = success

That formula worked very well for me. I attended the right schools, got the

right grades, and got the right jobs.

In 2010, my dream of breaking a music artist into the mainstream was

about to come true. And then it didnt. The person I thought was my partner

absconded with the artists, and my dream was crushed.

I couldnt understand how it happened. Hadnt I abided by the formula?

I wanted to move forward and focus on the positive, but my mind kept

dragging me into the past and down negative rabbit holes.

After learning about True Mind Meditation, I realized that I had been al-

lowing my Counter Mind to fill me with so much fear and negative energy

that I was burying my True Mind, and in doing so, I was losing myself.

I started to understand that my success formula was an illusion, something

I had invented to avoid facing the fact that I had no control over any externalcircumstances and no control over anyones behavior other than my own.

Thanks to the True Mind exercise, Ive let go of my formula for life, and

instead embraced vulnerability, acceptance, and unlimited possibility.

Let go of rigid formulas for success so you can embrace unlimited

possibilities instead.

Quash the Fears that Hold You Back

by GREG HICKMAN

I couldnt work up the nerve to leave my day job.

I work for a big brand leading their mobile marketing strategy. They love me

there. Im doing well, I love the brand, and I like the people. I could totally

stay there, if I didnt have this burning desire to make my side business a

full-time gig.

The problem was that I was too afraid of failing and not being able to pay the

bills. I wasnt confident in my skills or ready to make the sacrifices I needed

to make, like selling my house and simplifying my life.

During the True Mind Meditation, I continually told myself that I am capa-

ble. Ive become at peace with taking a big risk and making a big change in

my life to pursue my passion. Im selling my house in a few weeks, renting

a smaller apartment that costs less money, and selling things I dont need

to lower my living expenses.

Ive given myself a deadline of January to leave my job and dive into the

new year on a mission. Im super stoked for the new journey. I can finally

welcome it into my life.

The True Mind meditation helped me stop being afraid of the life I dont

want so I can finally start living the life I want.

Your Counter Mind will cripple you. Your True Mind puts you in con-

trol.

Find the Courage to be Different

by ZANDER G ALLOWAY

I was living the American dream. I did everything I was supposed to do:

get a job, buy a house, fill the house with stuff, buy a bigger house, fill it

with more stuff.

But I wasnt happy.

Yet despite feeling unfulfilled, I was too scared to dare to be different, of

disapproval from others. And I wasnt even sure how or what to change. So

there was just a little spark there, a desire for something different.

During World Domination Summit, that spark transformed into a wildfire.

When I did the True Mind Meditation, my personal statement was that

people will love me for who I am. In the weeks following World DominationSummit, I internalized that belief, and it was such a liberating feeling. As

the months have gone by, it has become a symbol of the world I still have to

explore, of the amazing people I have yet to meet, and of the self-actualiza-

tion that I strive to achieve. Its a constant reminder to stay focused on the

big picture and to do one thing every day that keeps that wildfire burning.

Only you can hold yourself back.

Overcome Paralysis by Analysis

by MIKE VARDY

Im very good at task management, but have a tendency to get overwhelmed.

And being overwhelmed leads to anxiety and paralysis by analysis.

But when I acknowledge my negative Counter Mind thoughts and focus

more on my positive True Mind thoughts, it gets me past the paralysis. Im

able to move forward with more awareness, which makes me more efficientand effective.

The True Mind Meditation experience has cemented my belief that aware-

ness is the biggest prerequisite to being truly productive.

The real secret to productivity: awareness of your own thoughts.

Seize More Opportunities

by MICHAEL CAVITT

I struggled with accepting help from others.

So during the True Mind Meditation, I chose the statement I am strong

and competent, deserving of help.

I did it for a week, and surprise! I started getting opportunities to accept

help from new sources. And not only was I receiving offers of help, but I was

more accepting of help, too.

Its a long journey, but the journey has begun.

tweetable TAKEAWAY

Opportunities will come with you open your mind to their possibility.

Find Ease in the Unpleasant

by KARL STAIB

I struggled with the little things. As a business owner, there are a lot of small

tasks I have to perform, and they made me tense.

After learning about True Mind Meditation, I created two mantras. Every

morning, I read this aloud: Every interaction has some joy in it. Its up to

me to find the joy and possibly expand on these feelings. And every night,I read this aloud: I will let go of any worries and relax every muscle before

and during my sleep.

This simple practice helped me find the joys in every little task. Its been so

effective that Im going to do a 30-day challenge: meditating for 10 minutes

each day.

tweetable TAKEAWAY

To change the situation, change yourself.
