If Brunson Cooper could tell himself one thing in 2011:

"Create systems and procedures from day one."

He knew it mattered. He said it. But he didn't live it.

And that became the bottleneck.

When you're building a business solo, you can wing it. You know how you work. You know the standards. You're the system.

But the moment you hire someone? The moment you want to scale?

You're done.

If everything lives in your head, your business can't grow bigger than you.

Brunson spent years catching upβ€”documenting processes, creating procedures, building systems that other people could actually follow and execute.

Systems aren't busywork. They're the foundation that lets you scale from $1M to $68M.

That's Part 1 of 3 pieces of advice from Brunson Cooper on Episode 27 of Kicking Ass and Taking Names Podcast.

Part 2 coming tomorrow. πŸŽ™

Happy Monday.

The door to wisdom is not out there. It is within you β€” and it opens from inside.

Napoleon Hill plants this at the apex of his philosophy β€” and it changes everything about how you
think about what you have been searching for.

Most of us have spent years looking for the door in the world around us.

In the right opportunity that hasn't arrived yet.
In the right mentor we haven't found yet.
In the right circumstance we haven't been given yet.
In the right version of our life that hasn't appeared yet.

Hill's teaching is completely different.

The door is not out there.

It is within you.

And it does not open because of anything that happens to you from the outside.

It opens because of who you are becoming on the inside.

The Sixth Sense β€” the apex of Hill's philosophy β€” is not a technique you acquire. It is a way of
being that emerges when you have done the inward work.

When the twelve principles are no longer effort but character.
When Know, Decide, Do are no longer steps you take but the way you live.

That is when the door opens β€” from inside.

This Monday β€” three questions to sit with:

Where have I been searching for the door outside of myself?
What inward work am I avoiding that would open it?
Who would I need to become for it to open today? The door is within you. It always has been. Know. Decide. Do. What inward work are you doing this week to open your door? Drop it below. πŸ‘‡

Happy Monday. πŸ”₯

When it's no longer effort but character β€” the door to wisdom will open.

I started this series with three words.

Know. Decide. Do.

Know what you truly want.
Decide that you will pay the price required to have it.
Do what is required to achieve it.

Those three words have been at the close of every single episode of this series.

Not as a tagline.

As the philosophy.

The twelve principles compressed into three words β€” the way.

And here is what I want you to understand as we reach the final episodes of 13 Weeks to Becoming Rich β€”

Know, Decide and Do were never a morning routine.

They were never a checklist.
They were never a set of habits to build.
They were the path to becoming.

Because when Know, Decide and Do are no longer things you practice β€” when they are simply who you are β€” your new character β€” something shifts.

You can live your new way of being.
You can find the door that has always been there.
And you become the person who walks through it.

The mastery of the twelve principles is how you find and open it.

When it's no longer effort but character β€” the door to wisdom will open.

He was passed over for a promotion. Twice.

Today, Corenic Construction is a $68 million powerhouse and one of the most respected minority-owned construction firms in the Washington DC area.

In Episode 27 of the Kicking Ass Podcast, Brunson sits down with Marlon to get real about:

πŸ”‘ Building a reputation that opens doors
πŸ”‘ Knowing which clients to walk away from
πŸ”‘ Growing yourself before the company outgrows you
πŸ”‘ What it takes to go from side hustle to industry leader

Starting a business takes courage. Building it takes strategy.

Napoleon Hill makes a statement in this chapter that should stop us all.

"Man, with all his boasted culture and education, understands little or nothing of the intangible force
β€” the greatest of all the intangibles β€” thought."

Every person has two selves. The physical self β€” limited by what the five senses can confirm.
The other self β€” not limited by that which is tangible.

"The turning point in the lives of those who succeed usually comes at the moment of some crisis β€” through which they are introduced to their other self."

13 weeks. 12 principles. All of it is preparing you to activate your other self to meet this moment.

Our 'other self' is more powerful than our physical self because it is not limited by that which is tangible. The human brain is both the broadcasting and receiving station that puts us in touch with the greatest intangible force β€” Infinite Intelligence. The connection is not broken. It has not been activated. Know. Decide. Do.

Your connection is not broken. It has not been activated.

Napoleon Hill wrote something in Chapter 1 of Think and Grow Rich that I want you to sit with today.

"Remember that all who succeed in life get off to a bad start and pass through many heartbreaking struggles before they arrive. The turning point in the lives of those who succeed usually comes at the moment of some crisis β€” through which they are introduced to their other self."

Every person has two selves.

The physical self β€” limited by knowledge of physical things. What we can see, touch, weigh and measure.

And the other self β€” not bound by what the eyes can see or the hands can touch. Not limited by that which is tangible. More powerful precisely because it operates in the realm of the intangible.

And here is the truth that most people never hear β€” The other self is always available. But it lies dormant in most of us.

The brain is always capable of broadcasting to Infinite Intelligence and receiving back the plans, the hunches, the inspired ideas.

The connection is not broken. It has not been activated.

What determines the connection β€” and how powerfully it operates β€” begins with a single thought. Powered by desire. Mixed with faith.

Your physical self may have limits. Your other self does not.

Episode 13 of 13 Weeks to Becoming Rich β€” Step 12 β€” The Brain β€” is about exactly this. How to activate the connection. How to meet your moment of crisis with the other self awake and ready.

Happy Monday. Let's start this week with something that will change how you think about every thought you have.

Faith turns your thought from noise to a signal β€” forcing your subconscious to respond.

Most people have thousands of thoughts every day about what they want. Their goals. Their desires. Their dreams.

And most of those thoughts go nowhere.

Not because the desires aren't real.

Not because the goals aren't worthy.

Because the thoughts are noise.

Napoleon Hill was precise about why.

The subconscious mind is more susceptible to influence by impulse of thought mixed with emotion or feeling than by those originating solely in the reasoning portion of the mind.

In other words β€” a cold thought doesn't reach your subconscious. Only an emotion-charged thought does. And the most powerful emotion you can mix with your thought is faith.

Faith is the eternal elixir that gives life, power and action to the impulse of thought.

Without faith β€” your thought is noise. It reaches your subconscious but doesn't register. It doesn't stand out. It goes nowhere.

With faith β€” your thought becomes a signal. Your subconscious picks up the vibration and transmits it to infinite intelligence. It draws upon the answer and returns it to you as a definite plan β€” the physical equivalent of your desire made real.

You may voluntarily plant in your subconscious mind any plan, thought or purpose which you desire to transform into its physical equivalent β€” through the habit of positive emotions.

This Monday β€” are your thoughts noise or signal?

Faith is the difference. And you can choose it right now.

Know. Decide. Do.

What thought are you planting with faith this week? Drop it below.

Happy Monday.
