👇 TL;DR: This Week in The Digital CEO Weekly👇
âś… The one word I always hear from clients with the biggest results... and the dead giveaway that someone's on their way to success.
✅ Shift your internal Operating System, and those “pipe dreams” start showing up as inevitable results.
âś… 3 steps to cross the gap between "I hope" and "I know."
From the Desk of James Wedmore:
I’ve got a weird skill I’ve never really talked about before.
Maybe it comes from intuition. Maybe it’s just what happens after working with thousands of clients at every level for almost 20 years...
...but the moment an entrepreneur starts talking, I can tell quickly just how successful they’ll be. Like I can read their Barometer of Potential.
I have even been able to guess their current income level and/or predict their next annual revenue milestone.
And... I’ve been pretty damn accurate.
Maybe there is some “psychic” thing playing out...
But it’s REALLY because: patterns repeat and success leaves clues.
...and I’m paying attention.
NOW... let me be clear: the sky IS the limit for everyone.
Anything is possible. Don't forget that.
BUT... for most people, their internal Operating System (their FIELD) has to change first before the results ever show up.
So what I am gauging is what's in their CURRENT Field, make sense?
And after years of working with clients, I can tell where someone is “operating” from within just a few minutes of listening.
That inner programming always aligns with a certain level of predictable success. And as you have probably heard me say before... language leaves clues.
So, what does this have to do with you? Well, I’m not sharing this to brag. I simply want to show you how you can start spotting it, too – and more importantly, embody it yourself.
Because there’s one common denominator I’ve found among my most successful clients.
I can even narrow it down to one single word.
It’s a word they don’t try to say... it just slips out naturally. I can feel it when they say it. And when I hear it, if they were a racehorse, well... I’d bet on them every time.
Every. Single. Time.
I’ve gone back through dozens of my client success interviews, and sure enough – every single one of them says this word at least once.
And it’s not just saying this word... it’s HOW they say it. It’s a frequency. You FEEL it.
You’re probably wondering what it is...
It’s simple – they say some version of the word: KNOW.
As in...
✨ “I just knew.”
✨ “I knew this would work.”
✨ “I knew this was the path.”
✨ “James, I just KNOW this is gonna be successful.”
I’ve never met a successful entrepreneur who didn’t first have a deep knowing... some point BEFORE success came to them.
And I’ve never met someone who truly knew... deep down... and ended up quitting.
So, the real question is…
Do you know?
When you think about your next desired outcome, do you know it’s coming? Do you know it’s possible? Is it already an inevitability? Or just a pipe dream.
What I am sharing is so simple... but saying “yes I believe so” is MASSIVELY different than the feeling you FEEL when you simply... know.
So... it’s time to get back to knowing. That’s where your POWER is.
And it’s not something you close your eyes and force... it’s the opposite.
This knowing is the SAME FEELING you get when you ask yourself, “Will the sun rise tomorrow?”
Yes. Yes it will.
“How do you know?”
I dunno... I just... KNOW.
“What is THAT feeling of just knowing feel like?”
For when the feeling of your next goal or outcome feels as inevitable and natural as tomorrow's sunrise... then you’re in the sweet spot.
That’s what we call “The Pocket.”
Get in The Pocket. Stay in The Pocket. And LIVE there.
"But James, how?!"
Ok, EXERCISE TIME:
Here is a simple lil' exercise you can try on to get back in The Pocket... back into that KNOWING. To go beyond belief and into inevitable certainty.
Step 1: Spend some time writing down what you TRULY want. I'm talking business goals, life purpose, perfect day, whatever! Including... reminding yourself WHY you started this business. Tap into the core essense of what you REALLY want to have... experience... and feel.
Step 2: Get still... quiet... silent in the mind, and ask: "Is accomplishing this possible in this lifetime, before I leave the planet?" (Spoiler alert: the answer is always YES.)
Step 3: Get present to how it feels... and where in your body you feel that energy/sensation that you simply KNOW this will happen in this lifetime. Stay present to that... cultivate that feeling. Amplify it... then expand this in your day as much as you can!
Note: Notice how much "time" and DEADlines erode your faith. Time is an illusion. Things don't happen linearly or logically.
So, remove time and remain in that knowing. Because the paradox is always true: "things take longer than you think, but happen faster then you could ever imagine."
...you just have to be open to a miracle :-)
