Today, Dr. Noah St. John is here to challenge everything you thought you knew about why some people thrive and others get stuck. If you want to level up your success in any area of your life, the first thing you must do is to change your mindset. Dr. Noah is going to show you how to conquer the "head trash" that holds us back, break through income plateaus, and unlock results.
Meet Dr. Noah St. John
- Dr. Noah has been teaching clients for 30 years and is credited with helping them add a collective $3 billion in revenue.
- He is known as the "Done with Head Trash" guy and is a leader of the movement to help people get past their self-imposed limitations.
- He has written 25 books on the subject and has helped individuals and organizations ranging from 100 to 10,000.
Inner Game vs. Outer Game: The 80% Rule
- Dr. Noah argues that success is at least 80% about your "inner game". The inner game is everything happening in your mind, including the beliefs and stories you tell yourself.
- While "outer game" activities like making calls and sending emails are important, Dr. Noah emphasizes that mindset is the true bottleneck for most people.
Clearing Out the "Head Trash"
- Dr. Noah defines "head trash" as the internal voice that says, "I can't because...". This self-limiting dialogue is what prevents sales professionals and entrepreneurs from reaching their full potential.
- He explains that by identifying and clearing this mental clutter, you can stop proving your own limitations right.
From $4 Million to $20 Million: A Real-Life Example
- Dr. Noah shares a powerful case study about a client whose company was stuck at $4 million in revenue for four years.
- After hiring Dr. Noah, they focused on the inner game, and in less than 18 months, the company's revenue skyrocketed to over $20 million. This success was a direct result of addressing the team's mindset, not just their outer game tactics.
