“If you want to become successful, do more than an average person does in a day” Rob Dahm
In order to get a more powerful “why” I’m going to share with you a tool I picked up from Dean Graziosi which truly makes a difference and provides you with a more sophisticated “why” behind your actions.
With each level (iteration) we are going to dive in deeper to your core motivations. I’ll show you my example of using this tool and then you can do it on your own.
The 7 levels deep tool:
1. What is important to you about becoming successful?

So that I can do whatever I want whenever I want. -

Then I can live a life of abundance with my future wife and kids. -

That way I will have a firm base to spread love and contribute to others. -
