I spoke at the Groove Mastermind, found out with the groove founder, Mike Filsaime and a few other people. Met up with a few, you know, other internet marketers as well. And then, you know, decided to treat myself and rented out a Rolls Royce for these three days that I’ve been there, because it was just me and Anastasia. So kids stayed home, and so it was just me and her, you know, to the roles, had some fun, you know, shot lots of nice school photos, nice videos. So I got to feel what it’s like to drive one, by the way, a little bit disappointed to be honest. Like I didn’t feel an exponential difference from driving the cars that I own and used to own. Like I didn’t feel an exponential difference compared to, say an S-class, which kind of tells you the amazing job they do with the S-class Mercedes.

I also don’t think I like that sort of ride more than I like a more intense sporty ride that I get on my Porsche. So yeah, probably not going to be buying me a Rolls Royce, so next time, I’m trying out a Bentley, probably, and if that doesn’t work, maybe in Aston Martin, so we’ll see. But it was a nice experience, you know, because I’ve done this before, I guess the point I’m making is we, we speak about mindset a lot in this show, and I talk a lot about how often times we’re being held back, not by the techniques, but rather by whatever’s going on between our ears and in the heart. And I recommended reading ‘The Trick to Money is Having Some’ by Stuart Wilde, because it talks about the emotional aspect of how you feel about money and that ends up dictating your actions. 

So the same is true for all kinds of stuff that you want to have in your life, but you don’t have. For example, I can afford a Rolls Royce. I can pretty much just walk into a dealership and buy it like write a check. I don’t need financing. I don’t need it leased, although I would probably lease it because it wouldn’t drop so much money on the car. It just doesn’t make any sense to me, but I could get one if I wanted to. I could buy a Lamborghini or Ferrari, but I haven’t liked it for many, many years, even though it’s a dream car, like, I don’t do it now. Why is that? Well, it probably has something to do with the emotional aspect of it, of what it’s like to own one. And, you know, some kind of like, part of me rejects it.

So I had the same thing about an S-class. I had the same thing about other cars, which is why I started doing, like track days and renting out really nice cars. So when I went to Germany a while back with Anastasia, I actually went to the Czech Republic, but then we drove from the Czech Republic to Germany. So I rented an S-Class back then, and it was like a huge step up. I was driving like a Chevy at the time, so getting into like a really luxurious S- class Mercedes, with all the bells and whistles, was like a mind expanding experience. And within, I think, a year or two, I ended up owning one. It was I, you know, I’ve done the whole Rolls Royce thing, because I wanted to feel like a guy who drives the Rolls Royce.

And, you know, now that I can, I know what that feels like. I can then now go, choose what the next adventure is going to be in the same way, by the way, that the first time I flew business class, you know, that kind of broke me in terms of, you know, I could no longer go back to flying coach. I just don’t. It just doesn’t make sense at all. Even if it’s a three hour flight from Toronto to Miami, I still fly business because at this point it’s like, I’m the sort of guy who flies business class, or flies first class. And, you know, it.

It dictates the results we get in life. Because some people set a standard, and it’s like they won’t go below that standard automatically. Because you probably met entrepreneurs who, like, built something or made a lot of money and then lost it quickly, built it back up, or maybe even built something else to a greater level. Well, it’s not, it’s not an accident. It’s the way they think and the way they perceive themselves.
