You know, everybody wants to be, do, and have more. It’s who we are as a spirit to beat. And there’s a story that interrupts us seeking out, living our full potential.” 02:22 – Typical symptoms that clients do before reaching out to Paul: “Look, there are seven levels of conscious awareness, how we think, and make decisions in our lives. And when we operate from the lower levels of conscious awareness, we’re bound to screw things up.” 03:47 – Common mistakes that people make before they find Paul’s solution: “They think in reverse. They look at their results, and they allow their results to be the cause of their lives. “I can’t have my dream…” because of these results: because they don’t have the time, because they don’t have the money.” 05:04 – Paul’s Valuable Free Action (VFA): “’How’ is overrated.

My name is Tom Poland beaming out to you from little Castaways Beach in Queensland, Australia, joined today by Paul Martinelli. Paul, good day. A very warm welcome from down under. Sir, where are you based? Paul Martinelli 00:23 I’m in Jupiter, Florida, just about an hour and a half north of Miami. Tom Poland 00:27 Perfect, and I think you said two hours south of Mickey Mouse. Is that right? Paul Martinelli 00:31 You bet! Absolutely. Tom Poland 00:33 For those of you who don’t know Paul, he’s an internationally acclaimed speaker, trainer, mentor, and coach who truly believes that if you can dream it, you can do it. He’s also known as the assassin of self-limiting beliefs which brings us, Paul, nicely to the title of this interview, which is, “How to Break the Invisible Boundary of Limiting Self Beliefs”. Paul is going to share with us how to do that in just seven minutes. Paul, thank you for rocking up. Our time starts now, sir. Question number one is who is your ideal client? Paul Martinelli 01:00 Nice, happy, rich people. I want to work with people who are nice, people who are happy, and people who are not going to beat me up on price and who have a vision, who want to be, do and have more in their life. Tom Poland 01:13 Perfect! So question number two, thank you for that. Very succinct. What’s the problem you solve for the happy, nice, rich people? Paul Martinelli 01:20 I think what I do is I interrupt the story. You know, everybody wants to be, do, and have more. It’s who we are as a spirit to beat. And there’s a story that interrupts us seeking out, living our full potential. Now that story could be like mine. I’m a high school dropout. I’ll never amount to anything. Now, I went on to generate, you know, three-quarters of a billion dollars worth of sales in five multimillion-dollar companies. So the story is not the truth. And so when I think I’m probably the very best in the world at doing is helping people think differently, challenging the boundary that they’ve set for themselves on income, on relationship, on health, on happiness, on whatever it is. We can be, do and have much more than the results of our life we indicate we can have. Tom Poland 02:07 Perfect, thank you for that. Paul, six minutes left. Question number three is what are the typical symptoms that these folks are going to be experiencing? What’s going on in their life or their business or their relationships or in their head that they think, “Well, gee, I need to find out more about what Paul’s up to”? Paul Martinelli 02:22 Look, there are seven levels of conscious awareness, how we think, and make decisions in our lives. And when we operate from the lower levels of conscious awareness, we’re bound to screw things up. So the lowest level of awareness, symptoms of people are, you know, they’re blaming other people. “See what you made me do”, “He made me mad”, “They upset me”, “It’s the boss’s fault, the economy’s fault, government’s faults.” Everybody else’s fault, but you. So it’s people who know in their heart, they know in their heart, that they haven’t really stepped into the full responsibility of their life. And they’re living at this fourth level of awareness, which is “aspiration”. This is where they aspire to be, do, and have things, but they never get around to it. “One of these days, I’m gonna..” “I’m going to spend time with my family”, “I’m going to go to church”, “I’m going to start the business”, “I’m going to go back to school”, “I’m going to learn a different language.” They speak the language of aspiration. And what’s worse is they’ve built a network of people who make it safe for them to quit. Who says they’re sorry, “Hey, you gave it a good shot”, “Hey, you give it a good shot.” So you know, the symptoms for me is, if everything’s the same if people who know you and haven’t seen you for a year come up to you and say, “Geez, you haven’t changed a bit!” That’s a problem. Tom Poland 03:34 Well said. Alright, thank you, sir! We’ve got- let’s go to question number four, and we got four minutes left. What are some of the common mistakes that people make when they’re trying to break out of the rut that they’re in, these self-limiting beliefs? What would you say are some of the biggest mistakes they make? Paul Martinelli 03:47 They think in reverse. They look at their results, and they allow their results to be the cause of their lives. “I can’t have my dream…” because of these results: because they don’t have the time, because they don’t have the money, because they don’t have the support, because my wife doesn’t believe in me. Because, because, because! Emerson said that the law of all laws is the law of cause and effect, and in a universe governed by creative force. And we are, as far as we know, we are the only intelligent species that can create beyond our conditions and circumstances. We were designed to be causative. Not to live on the side of effects of our lives, but to be the cause. And the mistake people make is they look at their results. And they think their results are an indication of their potential. It’s a reflection of their awareness of their potential. And as they expand the awareness of their true, infinite, God-given potential, then they have the belief that drives the behavior to change the result. Stop thinking in reverse! Tom Poland 04:50 Inspirational stuff, and so true too! So thank you for that, sir. Three minutes left. And question number five. Let’s talk about a top tip, kind of like a valuable free action, probably not going to solve the whole problem of folks, but it might take them a step in the right direction? Paul Martinelli 05:04 Look, “how” is overrated. The Wright brothers didn’t have a pilot’s license. They didn’t know how to build it. They didn’t know how to fly it. Once they got it in the air, they did not know how to land it. So if you think you’re going to need to ...
