Main Points From Today\u2019s Episode

  1. Any time you have a new thought or reinforce a thought, your brain is building and reinforcing neural connections. The neurons that have the most dominant reinforcement pattern are the ones that activate automatically, which is why most folks keep achieving the same results over and over again.
  2. According to the latest brain research, it takes between 66 days and 365 days to change a neural pattern that has become a habit. That\u2019s why it\u2019s key to be deliberate about training your brain so you can create new subconscious patterns.
  3. John\u2019s Exceptional Life Blueprint can help you give your brain the instruction you want it to achieve. John uses it himself every year to set his own goals.
