00:00Welcome, my friends. Today, I want to talk to you about something that transcends business,
00:06something that goes beyond the balance sheets and deals. It's about elevating your mind
00:11and freeing your soul. Two concepts that, when embraced, can transform not only your
00:17success in business but your entire life. I've spent over 40 years building businesses,
00:23closing deals, and chasing success. But if I've learned one thing, it's this, success
00:28without peace of mind and freedom in your soul is hollow. There were times in my life
00:35when I thought the world revolved around my achievements. But you know what I discovered?
00:41The world is much bigger than that, and so is our potential. Let me tell you a story.
00:47In my early 30s, I was running a company, working 80-hour weeks. I had all the signs
00:53of success, a thriving business, a nice house, a fast car. But inside, I was exhausted, stressed,
01:01and disconnected from the things that mattered most. One day, an old mentor of mine, a monk,
01:07of all people, sat me down and said, if your mind is in chains, your soul can never be
01:13free. You must first elevate your thoughts before you can elevate your life. That hit
01:19me like a ton of bricks. Elevate your mind, free your soul. It sounded simple, but it
01:26wasn't easy. I had to let go of the idea that my worth was tied to my success, that my identity
01:32was nothing more than what I could achieve in business. That realization opened up a
01:37whole new world for me. So, how do we elevate our minds? How do we free our souls? It starts
01:44with mindfulness. Being present in every moment. Whether you're at work, with your
01:50family, or even by yourself, being fully aware of what's happening right now is the key.
01:57You can't live in the future or the past, your mind and soul need you in the present.
02:02That's where your real power lies. I remember a time when a major deal fell through. I was
02:09furious. I had poured months into it, and it slipped away in a matter of hours. The younger
02:15me would have been devastated, but that day I did something different. I stepped back. I took a
02:22breath. I asked myself, what's the bigger picture here? And you know what? That deal wasn't as
02:30important as I thought. In the grand scheme of things, it was just a moment, an opportunity to
02:36learn, not to crumble. Freeing your soul means letting go of what you can't control. You have
02:42to trust that everything happens for a reason. Sometimes, things won't go your way, and that's
02:48okay. Failure isn't the end, it's part of the process. It's a chance to grow. To refine your
02:56purpose. When you learn to release control over the outcome, that's when your soul finds peace.
03:02In business, we often feel the need to push, to fight, to control every detail. But the most
03:09powerful leaders, the ones who truly succeed, are the ones who have learned to let go. They've
03:15elevated their minds above the stress, the chaos, and the noise. They've freed their souls from the
03:21need for constant validation and achievement. I've seen it all. Success, failure, joy, and pain.
03:28And the greatest lesson I can share with you is this. Your mind is your most powerful tool,
03:34but only when it's elevated, focused on what truly matters. Your soul is your guide,
03:40but only when it's free from the burdens of worry, fear, and ego. When these two are in harmony,
03:47that's when real success, real peace, and real fulfillment happen. So, I ask you today,
03:53how are you elevating your mind? How are you freeing your soul? Are you holding onto things
03:58that no longer serve you? Or are you allowing yourself to grow, to release, and to embrace
04:04the present moment? Remember, life is a journey, not a race. Take the time to reflect, to be mindful,
04:12and to let go of the unnecessary. Elevate your mind, free your soul, and watch how everything
04:17else falls into place.
04:23you
