The Motivation Expert: Why You're FAILING To Achieve Your Goals (& What To Do About It!)

Today, let's welcome Rob Dial, host of the Mindset Mentor Podcast and author of "Level Up."

This engaging episode delves into the role of fear in holding people back, distinguishing between primal fears (like pain and death) and intellectual fears (like failure and rejection). Rob offers strategies to overcome these fears by focusing on positive outcomes instead of negative possibilities. Together, Rob and Jay explore the topic of procrastination, with Rob emphasizing the importance of having a strong "why" to drive motivation and action.

Rob reflects on his spiritual journey and how silence and introspection have helped him find peace and purpose. He also shares the key lesson he has learned: what we seek externally is often something we need to find within ourselves

How many experts need to tell us our bodies don’t know the difference between thought and reality. We’ve got to use this to our advantage! Incredible!

"If your why is strong enough, your how will reveal itself" Words to live by. Wonderful podcast and the way he explained this topic was easy to follow and relate to.

Kill me or is this the best podcast of my life. Gosh. You changed my life. I'm listening to this while eating a steak at a restaurant and i have tears in my eyes. People are watching me but I have started living my life with courage life and laughter.

if you want to go deeper into the rabbit hole, 'Unveiling Your Hidden Potential' by Bruce Thornwood is a must-read

this entire episode >>> everything I needed to hear right now

Honestly, I felt relieved listening to this podcast. I realized that many of the concepts discussed are present in Islam, but I hadn't focused on them before. Now, I've understood some aspects of my religion from a non-Muslim😁. Thank you very much ❤

Wow! I'm a Rob Dial fan now and I hadn't heard of him before. This past week I've binge-watched Jay's interviews and was starting to get annoyed with all the cliches. Everyone pretty much saying the same thing, the same personal development language that's been around for years, and a couple of the people patting themselves on the back for how great they are. Then Rob comes along and actually offers action steps, processes, ideas, tools. THIS is what I needed! It was so practical, plus he's so well-spoken and easy to understand and I didn't feel like he was just repeating all the cliches. Can't wait to read the book!

And Jay...LOVE listening to you and LOVE your questions! I have noticed some people don't answer them though, they default to telling a story that makes them sound good. But Rob....excellent answers and stayed on topic with super helpful info! Thanks for a mind & heart shifting hour!

I love this guy. My dad also passed away from alcoholism. I also grew up in extreme poverty and this left me with a life long trauma that I constantly have to battle. I consider myself to be pretty successful but the fear of poverty or scarcity never left me. It’s a constant battle. I still love life and continue to move forward.

I found this podcast looking for ways to improve my English, and what I found out was an incredible lesson for my life. I completely agree with everything with what y'all said. Thanks for those thoughts that make us think about life and what we are doing here in this world. All of us have a mission that god or wherever god is, sent to us to do or to archive. So that is what makes us wake up every day to discover it.

Jay, thank you for this episode!!!! I've been listening to Rob, daily for almost 2 years. I even enrolled in his courses. He introduced me to you, and your journey. Thank you, for this episode, and all the positivity you share in the

[saraspano]

Best episode I’ve listened to so far. Can’t believe Rob almost didn’t pursue this journey because he doubted himself. Inspiring. Thank you both!

Timestamp: 23:09 imagining the future of various pathways, and the feelings of the futures you didn't want compared to the unknown future. Mahalo for this conversation!

[iamnyoka]

Needed this! Building a YouTube channel has been the scariest thing I have ever done. It takes a lot of reprograming mindset wise.
