Stop complaining. Do this instead.

Hi Candidate,

Welcome to Day 2: Handling things you can't control. This week I'm showing you several mental frameworks to help you master your inner psychology. I call these "Success Triggers."

Yesterday I showed you how to master your internal critic and stop feeling guilty.

Today, we'll go deeper, because there's more to negative mindsets than our inner critic.

What about the negative thoughts and worries that come from things you can't control?

How many of us worry about the economy, what our friend thought of our accidentally rude comment, our parents' health, and hundreds of other things we can't control? Not just once — we worry about these things every day.

In today's lesson, I'll show you one simple technique to eliminate 99% of your worries. You'll see how top performers handle world politics, people they don't like, and the ambiguous "future" — all vague things they can't control.

How to eliminate 99% of your worries

People love to worry about practically anything — politics, relationships, gas prices, other people, whatever.

The craziest part is that a lot of what we worry about are things we can't control.

My technique to eliminate 99% of my worries is this:

Focus on what you can control. Ignore what you can't.

It might sound obvious, but if you take a look at the way you talk about things, you might find that you focus a lot of time on things completely out of your control.

For example: the economy. It's easy to take a look at headlines about unemployment and start worrying. These are serious issues and we're going through a global pandemic — but what good does worrying ultimately do?

Instead, consider what you can do about it, like searching for a job (yes, there are still good jobs out there), saving for an emergency fund (I recommend 12 months), and maxing out your retirement accounts.

And ignore everything else.

Think about your own life. What are the 3 things that are worrying you the most right now? Write them down on a sheet of paper or Google Doc. Then think of different ways you can control those things.

Worried about unemployment? Start your job search now by emailing your network for leads.

Worried about money? Get your financial house in order by automating your finances.

By doing the things you can control, you start to put yourself in the driver's seat of your own destiny. That simple reframing can unlock a TON of potential for you, effectively putting you ahead of the vast majority of others who would rather spend their time worrying.

How? Because you have the right mental frameworks. And top performers know that having the right mental frameworks can create disproportionate rewards in all areas of life.

I'll show you what I mean:

The 3 Success Triggers I'm sharing with you this week have been the cornerstone to writing a New York Times best-selling book, earning millions, and helping hundreds of thousands of students make massive changes in their lives.

And that's just 3 Success Triggers!

I've actually systematically studied and tested MANY more. Then I culled the list down to 30 of the most powerful and put these 30 ready-to-apply Success Triggers together in one course for you.

Many other "experts" will give you productivity tips, new shiny apps, and cute sayings to inspire you for 10 minutes.

Monday, I talked about the YEARS I spent looking for the magic bullet to success. The right words to say or action steps to take to skyrocket my success. What I found was that these "tips and tricks" don't really matter — even the technically correct answers won't work if you don't have the right mindset to integrate them.

So today I want to share ALL 30 of the curated Success Triggers with you.

These psychological frameworks will help you go from negative thinking to positive thinking...from scarcity to abundance...from low confidence to supreme confidence, and I'm opening up access today.

And I share them in my own words, with my own specific examples for each Success Trigger.

This course includes:

30 of my most powerful Success Triggers — all on video, all fully transcribed, all downloadable in video/audio formats
Over 5 hours of mental frameworks, examples, and applied material so you can integrate these into your life today
Full summaries of each Success Trigger, including "apply immediately" study questions
Regular reminders about each Success Trigger, including "apply it now" reminders to force you to implement

See the full details here.

Now, a question for you.

We know that mastering these Success Triggers can provide enormous leverage — more than any productivity "app" or "tactic."

But let's put a fine point on it. How would it change your life to overcome your self-doubt? To stop feeling lazy and start being productive? To actually FULFILL your ambition? To stop feeling guilt and start enjoying not just your successes, but the challenges along the way?

This is about deciding where the BEST and HIGHEST places to invest are. Is it in a book? Is it in a new fitness program? Is it buying a new outfit?

Maybe it is. If so, do it!

But I believe in another Success Trigger called "Yes and Yes": Should I do X or Y? Yes and yes — you can usually do both!

So when I think about investing in mastering my inner psychology...learning how to manage my fears...confronting my past failures...leveraging my strengths...and truly becoming the confident person I know I am inside....the answer easily becomes: YES.

More about the course: I invest heavily in myself. That amount is typically well over $50,000/year on courses, conferences, books, and meeting interesting people. But I'm also in the enviable position of being able to invest heavily...and then report back to you on the best insights I learn.

I get it: It's hard to talk about investing in yourself right now, especially when a lot of us are worried about unemployment, the economy, and other huge impacts of coronavirus. That's why I think it's important that you only purchase my course if you have at least 12 months of emergency funds at hand.

If that's you, and you're ready to push yourself to the next level, this is for you.

Looking back on my life, one of my biggest regrets is not investing in myself even more — and I've already been investing 100x more than most people!

This course is unlike anything else I've ever done. It's very personal — I share some of my closest-held models and stories, and I want to reach as many people as possible. That's why I intentionally priced this to be very affordable.

And, to make it a no-brainer to join, I included payment plans and a 100% money-back guarantee. You cannot lose — but you have to make the decision to invest in yourself. I can't do it for you.

Here's your choice:

You can read this week's free Success Triggers, nod your head, and go about your day, not taking any action. A year from now, you'll be in the same place you are today. And that's perfectly fine.

OR…

You have another choice.

You could take a chance.

You could invest in yourself.

You could be one of the few who will take this opportunity to learn from some of the best mental models ever assembled in one place — complete with detailed analyses, stories, and "apply to your life" action steps.

What would it mean to be able to have a vault of mental models you could depend on...in any situation?

It's funny to think that in a year, our critics are going to be in the exact same place they are now — miserable and complaining. Is that vindictive of me? YES! I love it! GTFO losers!

But I don't accept that for you. Or for any of my IWT readers.

I'm not asking you to spend years, or even months studying this stuff. I've already done that! And now you get the very best of my research. Success Triggers takes just 15 minutes a day for just one month.

15 minutes a day is all you need to start changing your deep-seated beliefs that hold you back from peak performance, natural confidence, and lasting happiness.

For the people who are ready to take a step off the ledge...to unlock the potential that's already inside...and to MASTER the mental models that can accelerate your personal and professional lives...

I'm thrilled to invite you, with instant access, to Success Triggers.
