Stop Stopping Yourself: Dr. Noah St John Reveals His "Power Habits"
Hi This is Brad Weisman - Click Here to Send Me a Text Message
What if everything you've been taught about positive thinking is only half right? Dr. Noah St. John, known worldwide as "the father of afformations," is revolutionizing the way we approach mindset transformation with a simple yet profound discovery: the power of asking empowering questions.
During this insightful conversation, Dr. St. John reveals why traditional affirmations leave 75% of users more frustrated than before—and introduces his groundbreaking alternative that works with your brain's natural functioning rather than against it. Rather than repeating statements you don't believe, "affOrmations" harness the brain's automatic response to questions, creating powerful shifts in your subconscious programming without resistance.
Drawing from his personal journey from poverty to becoming a highly sought-after coach, Dr. St. John shares how this technique forms the foundation of his wider "Power Habit System"—a comprehensive approach used by his clients to achieve remarkable breakthroughs. Through compelling case studies, he demonstrates how addressing the hidden "head trash" and "success anorexia" that lurk in our subconscious can lead to extraordinary results, including one client who grew their business from 7 figures to $20 million in just 18 months.
Beyond theory, Dr. St. John provides actionable insights into recognizing and overcoming the invisible barriers that keep us stuck at the same level year after year. His approach isn't about working harder—it's about removing the internal obstacles that prevent you from achieving what you're truly capable of. Whether you're a business owner hitting an income ceiling, a real estate professional seeking breakthrough results, or simply someone looking to reach your full potential, these powerful yet simple techniques offer a path to the success you've been searching for.

How you doing, buddy?
Speaker 2:I'm so happy to be here.
Speaker 1:Great to be here, brad. Yeah, yeah, awesome. I'm glad you're here too. So wait a minute. I didn't even ask you the doctor. What's the doctor for?
Speaker 2:I have a PhD in pastoral counseling psychology. So at one point in my life I thought I might become a pastor or priest, but God kind of put me in a different direction and now I'm an author and a speaker and a consultant, and just you know, and having fun.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's great, that's really cool. Well, good for you. So well, yeah, let's jump right in here. I was reading over your stuff and this is the part that was just funny. I'm looking at your stuff after we had finally got the date together, right, and we're. I'm looking over and it says affirmations, affirmations. I'm seeing affirmations a couple of times and now I realize when I go to type it into or put it into my Word file, it's saying it's spelled wrong and I'm like no, it's not, I got it right from his site. It can't be spelled wrong. Right, turning out that your affirmations is different than affirmations, we got to just dig into that right away. Let's talk about that. What's the difference or what are you calling out as being different with that?
Speaker 2:Okay. So for everyone listening to this program, I want people to realize I'm using a new word here. All right, so I'm holding up my book. It's called the Book of Afformations and you're right, it's spelled A-F-F-O-R-M-A-T-I-O-N-S. This is my book of affirmations, published by Hay House.
Speaker 1:Awesome so affirmations.
Speaker 2:What the heck is that and how are they different from affirmations? Okay, so, as a keynote speaker and as a coach, one of the things I get to do is I get to do speaking for teams, organizations and companies all across the country and really around the world, whether it's live or virtual. And one of the things I like to do with my audience members and of course I'll do it with you know, the audiences here is I like to say OK, everybody, everybody knows an affirmation is right. And they go yeah, all right. So an affirmation, of course, is a statement of something that you want to be true, right. And I say well, how do you know what an affirmation is?
Speaker 2:Well, you know, I've read it a million times right, every motivational speaker on planet Earth talks about affirmations. You got to say these positive statements and say it in the positive. You know we've heard this a million times, and so I said okay. So I said all right, everybody, I want you to do this for me. We're going to play a little game. I want you to say an affirmation, just like you know, the motivational speakers taught us, and everybody say I am rich, and everybody goes I am rich.
Speaker 2:You know what happens next? Everyone starts laughing and I go what are you laughing at? And they go well, I'm not rich. And I say but you just said you were. And they go yeah, but I don't believe it. Aha, now isn't that the problem? Right, that's the problem with the old method, with the traditional affirmations that we say these statements and we want to believe them, but most of the time we actually don't believe them. In fact, did you know that a scientific study was actually done on this very topic and they found, after studying this, that three quarters of the people, literally 75% of the people that use the old affirmations method, actually end up more frustrated than before. So imagine if you had a smartphone that didn't work three out of the four times you went to use it. You'd probably get a new phone, wouldn't you?
Speaker 1:Yeah, absolutely, and that's what.
Speaker 2:I invented. I invented a new phone for your brain. Okay, so what is an affirmation? Well, this is something that I discovered 30 years ago, and it was actually in the shower, believe it or not. So I actually call it the shower that changed everything In my books and in my courses.
Speaker 1:I call it the shower.
Speaker 2:That changed everything. I'm sure everybody listening to this program has had that moment in the shower or the bath. Right, I mean, it's that eureka moment. Right, I mean, this goes back to the ancient Greeks, so it's an ancient tradition. And so this was in April 1997. And I'd been reading every self-help book out there, I mean literally for years and years and years reading every self-help book. And they all said the same thing right, use the affirmation, say it. So. I had, you know, I had post-it notes all over my walls. You know, I'm happy, I'm rich, I'm successful.
Speaker 2:Meanwhile, the reality was, no, I'm not, I'm broke, unhappy and miserable. And so I said, well, what the heck is wrong here, what is wrong with this picture, and what aren't they telling us, what are they leaving out? And so I was thinking about this. I was in the shower and I said, okay, what are we doing here? We're, we're, we're talking about beliefs. What's a belief? And I realized belief is just a thought. And then I said, well, what is human thought?
Speaker 2:And I realized that human thought is the process of asking and searching for answers to questions, not statements, but questions. In fact, I can prove it to you right now why is the sky blue? Why is the sky blue? Because the ocean. Do you know what just happened in your brain in that moment? No, well, I'll tell you exactly what happened. I asked you a question and instantly in your brain, your brain started to search for the answer. I said why is the sky blue? And your brain instantly said I don't said why is the sky blue? And your brain instantly said I don't know why is the sky blue? And so it's like a computer searching its files and you're searching your files. The sky is blue because I don't know, but it's searching.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And so I said, wait a second. If the human brain is automatically searching for answers to questions, why are we going around making statements we don't believe? Why don't we just cut out the middleman? And I said, what would that look like? And I said, well, let's see, you've got the statement or affirmation I am rich, to which your brain goes you're right, Right, I mean, that's what it does, it really does. I call it the yeah right response, Because we don't believe it.
Speaker 2:And so I said now, remember. The motivational speaker said just repeat it a thousand, million, billion, kajillion times until you believe it someday. Well, for some people that works, but for most of us that doesn't work at all, and we end up more frustrated than before. So I said well, if that's the statement, what would the question be? And then I said why am I so rich? Why am I so rich? Why am I so rich? Now, when you form a question like that in your brain, what instantly happens? You start to search for the answer. So I realized wait a minute, what if, instead of saying statements we don't believe, why don't we just cut out the middleman and go right to the question? And that's when I realized I was literally in the shower and I said holy cow, I think I just invented something.
Speaker 2:And so I had to give it a name, this new method that I discovered, and I call it the affirmations method. Again, it's A-F-F-O-R-M-A-T-I-O-N-S. And you go to affirmationscom and learn more about my affirmations method. And so really now, because I've been teaching this for 30 years now, I've written 25 books on the subject and you know, of course, I have coaching and courses on it as well. I mean now my affirmations method has helped people to make more money, to lose weight, to find love, to quit smoking, to overcome addiction. I mean I had a couple in Germany and they wrote me and they said we were about to get a divorce. We had the divorce papers on the table ready to be signed. We heard about your affirmations method, we got your affirmations book and your affirmations course, we started studying your method, we tore up the divorce papers and now we're madly in love again. I mean just incredible stories like that. So it's it's really life changing and it's incredibly powerful and very simple.
Speaker 1:Wow, that's amazing. Yeah, it's, it's, it's a different way of looking at things. And you're right, there's affirmations and they all and believe me, I've done a lot of them different things. When you stand up and all right, and everybody's going to say this and everybody's going to do this, and yeah, it kind of just get leaves you frustrated because it's, it's really, you're lying to yourself too, because you're not rich.
Speaker 1:You're not rich. You're lying to yourself. And if you're lying to yourself, and then what does that do you know? But that's really cool thank you.
Speaker 2:And what, what, really what? And just to jump off your point there, brad, yeah, what happens is and this is what I've been teaching for many years now is that, with the old method, if you think about this, imagine you were trying to build a house, right? And you, and you need what do you need to build a house? We need different tools, right? So you go to the tools, tools. So I say you go to home Depot and you say, hey, you know what? I'm building a house, I need some tools.
Speaker 2:And I say, yeah, well, um, we've got chainsaws over here, and, um, that's all we have. And you're like, what do you mean? That's all you have? Yeah, well, we've got, we've got chainsaws, and and that's it. I'm like, well, but I, I need more than a chainsaw to build a house. Well, you got green chainsaws, we got red chainsaws, we got yellow, green chainsaws, you know, just take whatever chainsaw you want. And so what does that mean? What I mean by that is we were only taught one method to change our beliefs yeah, statements, right, or affirmations. We were taught that, that's it, that that's all you get.
Speaker 2:And that's what really frustrated me and frankly it's frustrated. You know millions of people, but see, I was the first one to, number one, identify it. Number two give, frankly, a better, more powerful and more effective method, which is the power of questions, which, ironically, you're already doing anyway. This is one of the things that I'm very passionate about. Teaching is that every human being on this planet is already using my affirmations method anyway. There's only two problems. Number one is they don't know they're doing it. And number two, most people are asking really lousy questions like why am I so stupid?
Speaker 2:Why can't I do anything right? Why isn't my business growing?
Speaker 1:So what does the brain do then? Does the brain try to answer that question then?
Speaker 2:It has to. There's no other way. Now notice people aren't doing this on purpose.
Speaker 2:Nobody is doing this consciously, right, right, I got you. Yeah, I mean, it can be sometimes like you know you, you know you do something and you're like, oh, why am I so dumb, why can't I do anything? Right, yeah, so you might actually say it out loud, but more more often it's in the subconscious mind. Yeah, all right, so it really goes back to the iceberg principle of human behavior. Only about 5% of our thoughts, behaviors and actions are visible above the surface. That's the conscious mind, right Like the iceberg. Well, the vast 95% is below the surface of consciousness, in the subconscious, and, as I always tell my coaching clients and my audience members, it wasn't the part of the iceberg that they could see that sunk the Titanic. It's the part that they didn't see that sunk the Titanic.
Speaker 2:And that's what's sinking most of us as well. So what we do with my affirmations method and my power habit system and, by the way, my affirmations method is just the first of my habit, of my power habit system, so it's the foundational habit, but there's 11 total habits that we actually have to master, really, you know, in order to have that automatic success, as I call it. So what we're doing is we're bringing, using my power habit system and affirmations, we're bringing it to the surface, and then we can make a conscious choice, and then we don't have to keep holding ourselves back anymore.
Speaker 1:Amazing. Yeah, it's, it's. It's an interesting way of looking at it and just when we wait, to kind of peel back the onion there a little bit. The other thing so is that part of when you say 12, you can make more in 12 weeks than you made in the past 12 months Is that part of that also? I mean, is that being used in with that?
Speaker 2:Oh, absolutely. So that really comes back to what I call my power habit system. So when I discovered affirmations in 1997, you know, 30 years ago now I realized, wow, this is incredibly powerful and can really change people's lives. They're teaching about manifestation and visualization, and you know, just think about money, and money pours in from the sky and I'm like, really, where's that happening?
Speaker 1:What planet is that on? Because it's a different sky. It's in Pennsylvania, not in Ohio, Just so you know I'll be there tomorrow.
Speaker 2:It's like great, you know, because on planet Earth we have to do this annoying thing called take action Right, right, exactly, to actually have a result.
Speaker 1:It's like you know I'll think about having six pack abs and meanwhile I'll sit on the couch and eat junk food Sounds great, you know, it's like, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I know Right, see, that's what we've been sold, because that's what we all want to believe. Right, we all want to believe.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't have to do anything. Yeah, not so much, you know. So I'm one of these annoying guys that says reality check, sorry, doesn't work that way. Gosh, darn it. No, it's good we live on planet Earth, and anyway.
Speaker 2:So my point is, I realized that I had to have, frankly, a system, and I ended up calling it the power habit system, and the full name of it is the power habits of unconsciously successful people. Now, that's a mouthful, but really all it means is I realized that highly successful people are doing these unconscious habits. They're doing these habits and they don't even know they're doing them. Number one and number two that means they can't teach it. So that's why we have lots, there's lots and lots of habits training out there, but the problem is it's all on a conscious level, like I was just talking about, right.
Speaker 2:So, hey, you know, uh, work harder and set your goals and think positive. Okay, that's not wrong, but if that's all it was to succeed, we'd all be millionaires, right. So that's, there's way way more to it than that, but they don't want to tell us. So that's what I do, is I bring this up and I go guys, there's things that are going on beneath the surface that they're not telling us. And that's what I have to do, and you know, quite frankly, that's why I've give you tons of stories and examples of that. But the point is that that's what these power habits really do. They bring to the surface everything that's holding the person back from really reaching the level of success they're capable.
Speaker 2:Let me just give you a quick, quick example.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I was going to say can you give us one of those, an example? That'd be great.
Speaker 2:Absolutely so. I was speaking at a seminar in Los Angeles to a thousand business owners these are, you know, entrepreneurs, business owners, seven and eight figure CEOs, you know, and business owners, you know, really, really successful audience, you know. And so I was speaking. I talked for about 30 minutes on everything we're talking about right now, and I was. I was walking off the stage and a man came up to me out of the audience and he said Noah, you are the coach that I've been looking for. I want to hire you as my coach. Now. I didn't know this man from Adam. Ironically, his name was Adam. True story.
Speaker 1:You can see his video right on my website, but anyway, I said okay, well, what's going on?
Speaker 2:He goes Noah, you know I own this company and we got to seven figures really fast. But we have been stuck at seven figures for the past four years. We haven't grown, you know, we're just stuck here. And he said I have hired all these marketing guys, I've hired every guru out there. He named all the names. I spent tons of money, but we just can't break through that income ceiling. And he said as soon as I heard you speak about affirmations and power habits and head trash and everything you just talked about, he said I knew that you were the coach I've been looking for, so he literally hired me on the spot. That's why I love working with high achievers right, they make decisions quickly and firmly, Didn't dilly dally, didn't waste any time.
Speaker 2:So I coached him for 18 months and in that 18 months we were able to get his company that had been stuck at the same level for the previous four years, to over 20 million in revenues. 20 million.
Speaker 2:That's a 600% increase in less than 18 months. That's what we like to call hockey stick growth, right, cause you know you go along like this and you get a hockey stick. So that's an example of the power of these power habits. And the point is that he had already spent just like most of my clients spend tons of money on all this other stuff, and I'm not saying that it doesn't work, but it only gets you to a certain point and then you just really can't break through, no matter how much you hustle and grind and do all that other stuff. And so it was clearing out all of this head trash and then, you know, using my power habit system, that's what gave him that hockey stick growth.
Speaker 1:Amazing, that's cool. That's cool. Let's go into this. You said head trash a couple of times now and I just have on my paper here head trash question mark. Yeah, so what? What? Give me an idea of what head trash is like. What is, what is that?
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, like I said, this is what I've written 25 books on 18 languages and you know, teach, uh, you know, and speak and do courses on and coaching and so forth. So really, for everyone listening to this program, it really comes down to what it is that you want right. What do you want? Now, everybody out there talks about goals right, we've heard that a million times. You gotta set your goals, set your goals. We've heard that a million times. Okay, but what's so funny is what they don't talk about. And what they don't talk about is what happens after you set your goals Right. So we humans are goal oriented organisms. We are always, constantly thinking about what it is that we want Right, whether it's a new car, a new house, a new job, you know, or a ham sandwich for lunch, I mean, we're always thinking about what do we want. And so that is you know your goals Right. So they could be big goals, it could be small, medium, whatever, all right.
Speaker 2:So that's fine, and, yes, the truth is, yeah, you have to set your goals, but what happens after you set the goal and this is what people don't realize is that what happens after you set the goal. For most people, right after they set their goal, they go. I don't think I can do it, you know. So, like what, what's a common goal that people have in business? Well, of course, I want to make more money, right, everybody says that, right, well, you know. So I have people who come to me or, whether my seminars or you know, contact me on social media or whatever, and they'll say hey, noah, you know, I want to make more money. Okay, here's five bucks Go away, you know no, you got to get a lot more clear than that.
Speaker 2:Right, what, what really? What does that mean? Because more money to you might mean something totally different to the next person you know. And so that's the point. If I, as an example, if I said to you, hey, you know, I could show you how to make a million dollars in the next 12 months, would you be interested? Sure, most people go yeah. But if I said that to you know, richard Branson, hey, richard, I'll show you how to make a million dollars the next 12 months. He'd go get the heck out of here. I can make a million dollars the next five minutes.
Speaker 1:Yeah, exactly you see what I mean. It's all relative.
Speaker 2:Okay, you see what I mean. So, anyway. So it's very important that you get clear. But, like I said, what happens after you set the goal? Most people, they say I can't do it. So let's take the example of more money. Right, oh, I want to make more money in my business. Ah, but I can't do it. Oh, you know, I don't have the time, I don't have the money, I can't afford it. I don't know who to talk to, I don't know who I can trust. Oh, I've tried it before. Oh, you know, I've failed in the past. I literally just psyched myself out of that goal that I just said I wanted Yep, right, and so that's the point.
Speaker 2:That's what people are doing. But remember this is all in the subconscious. People don't do this consciously. Nobody wakes up in the morning and says, wow, you know, it looks like a beautiful day. You know what I think?
Speaker 1:I'll hold myself back from success today, right, no one's ever said that. No, no, I'm being conscious, but that's never happened.
Speaker 2:But it doesn't matter because, see, we're sowing seeds in the fertile soil of our subconscious mind. The subconscious mind is where we're sowing these seeds of thought. Right, and so that's really the point here is, we're sowing seeds. For most people, they're really sowing lousy thought seeds.
Speaker 1:So how do they not have those? How do they not put those in there? If it's in their subconscious, how do you get it out of there?
Speaker 2:Well, you have to use my power habits. I don't know any other way to do it. I really don't. And, believe me, I tried. I tried everything. And the truth is I wrote all these books for me. I read every book out there and they didn't. They didn't do anything. And I was. I was so frustrated.
Speaker 2:I was reading these books for years and years and years because, see, I grew up poor in a rich neighborhood and I know that's a total cliche, but it's true. I grew up in this little town called Kennebunkport, maine, which is one of the wealthiest communities in New England, in fact, one of the wealthiest communities in the entire country. And but, see, my family was dirt poor, and I mean that literally, because we lived at the bottom of a dirt road in a drafty, unfinished house that my parents ended up losing to foreclosure when I was just 15. So from a very young age, I was painfully exposed to the gap, the chasm between the haves and the have-nots. The haves was everyone else in the community, the have-nots was my family. So I hated being poor. I just I hated it because I saw that when you're poor, when you have no money, that means you don't have choices, you don't have options, you don't have power. And I don't mean power over others, I mean the power to make your own decisions, the power to live your own life. You know, the power to make your choices and say this is how I want to live and what I want to do with my life. We didn't have that, and so I said I hate that. That really makes me very angry.
Speaker 2:You know, even as a kid, I was like I don't like this and so, you know, I did the only thing I could think of to do. Of course, there was no internet back then or anything like we have today, so I just went to the library and read every self-help book there is. I just went to the self-help section, read every book in the self-help section, and they all said the same thing. You know, which I've already been talking about. You know, set your goals and use affirmations. They all said the same thing. And so when I, you know, been using these or, you know, reading these books and everything for years, but I wasn't successful and I was so frustrated, in fact, at the age of 25, I was in Los Angeles. I was, you know, I had a dead end job and, you know, my girlfriend had just left me. It was like a country song, you know. But that's really true.
Speaker 2:And you know, I made the decision at that time to to take my own life. I made the decision to, you know, commit suicide at age 25. And you know, and that was after years and years and years of reading all these self-help books. So what does that tell you? There was clearly something missing there, you know. And now it's something, you know, really saved my life at the very, very last moment. My life was spared and but I didn't know why at the time, and I said I've got to find my purpose here on the earth. What am I doing here? Why am I here? And so then I started reading spiritual books, you know about to find your purpose in life. And then that was when, in 1997, I discovered affirmations and then, you know, started writing all these books.
Speaker 1:And now, you know, here we are, 30 years later how old were you back then when you started doing the affirmations?
Speaker 2:well, I mean. I mean I started when I was a kid, I mean. I started and and I've said this story before and many people don't believe me In fact, this was, this was in my first book and my editor told me to take it out because people won't believe me. I'm like ask my mother. This is a true story. So I actually read Dale Carnegie's how to win friends and influence people when I was seven years old.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh Like I said, people don't believe that years old oh my gosh Like.
Speaker 2:I said people don't believe that, but too bad, that's my mother.
Speaker 1:Anyway, you're doomed to be a top thinker. That's some good stuff there.
Speaker 2:Human behavior and human psychology. Oh my goodness, that was the frustrating thing, brad, was they all said the same thing and it was all at the surface level. That's what bothered me and, frankly, that's why I couldn't really get the help that I needed. So can I just tell you another quick story.
Speaker 1:Sure Go ahead.
Speaker 2:Another one of my clients named Tamisa. She's a real estate professional out in Arizona and she is a self-described seminar junkie. That's what she called herself back then and meaning she was going all these seminars. I'm sure a lot of people can relate. You know the seminars, all of her, you know reading all these books and you know kind of like me. Yeah, that's exactly what I was doing back then. And so a friend of hers referred her to me and she actually joined my coaching program, which is called the 12 week breakthrough. It's a 12 week program where I help people make more in 12 weeks than they did in the. As it turns out, you know, she tripled her investment in the first two weeks of coaching with me. Two weeks and she tripled her investment. We hadn't even gotten to the money part yet. I mean, that's how powerful these power habits really can be Wow, it's amazing, yeah, that's, that's cool.
Speaker 1:And are you going to get? Are you going to give us one of these habits or no? Are you just going to kind of tease us with them? I've talked about affirmations. That's one of them.
Speaker 2:Okay, like I mentioned. Okay, so affirmations, you know which I've talked about extensively. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, affirmations are the foundational power habit. Gotcha, gotcha and quite frankly, that's the number one way that people find out about me. People come into the Noahverse usually with affirmations because, let's face it, number one it's incredible you have these great terms.
Speaker 1:I know right, I can't help myself.
Speaker 2:It's funny, but I mean, and it's so powerful and so effective and it's incredibly simple. In fact, Jenny McCarthy, you and I were talking about Jenny. Mccarthy, you know and for the people listening. Yes, that Jenny McCarthy, the one you all know. Oh yeah. Judge on the Masked Singer that Jenny McCarthy. So I've been on her program four times, you know four different times, on Sirius XM radio and she, literally on the air, said, noah, this is magical. What you created is like magic.
Speaker 2:And I said can I quote you on that? She said sure, but so use it when you can so.
Speaker 2:But the point is if, if people get nothing else from this interview, I hope they start a forming. You know, you know either get my book of affirmations or power habits or whatever it is, but I mean that is, yes, it is the foundational power habit and the and the reason I call it the foundational power habit is because it's exactly like building your house. Right. When you build a house or any kind of structure of building anything, right? What do you? You need? You need a strong foundation. If you have a weak foundation, what do you? Got you have house, or found a structure that ain't gonna be there that long, right, right, so that's really what it is. So everything starts, as I talked about earlier, with our inner game, with our inner game, with our beliefs. Right, so every what most people are doing, unbeknownst to them, is sowing really lousy thought seeds. So, using my affirmations method, that's the first thing we're going to do is change the thought seeds that we're sowing in the fertile soil of your subconscious mind.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, that's good, good stuff, and that stuff means a lot, because every decision you make in your life comes off of the subconscious, of what's going on in the background Of what you believe about yourself. Exactly Every decision that gets made you, you, you.
Speaker 2:You see life through that lens and, uh, like use my example of I decided to commit suicide. I mean, I, I I used to not tell that story because I I wasn't sure how people would take it and I didn't want them to feel like I was trying to have people feel sorry for me, or something like that so for years I never shared that story in public.
Speaker 2:And then one day I was at a seminar, in fact it was, you know, it was my seminar, I was leading a seminar, you know a three day program, and anyway. And so somebody asked me a question and I just sort of blurted it out and and the the reaction of the room was so emotional and visceral I said, oh, I guess I should start sharing that story, I because they they understood what I meant by that, that I'd been reading all these books and that's where it got me, you know.
Speaker 2:I'm not suggesting that that happened to anybody else, but I am saying that you know, a lot of people have been reading these books and they're like is that, it, is that all you got? And it's, yeah, it's pretty bad. I mean, there's just nothing there. And so you know that's people who come to me. Usually they've tried everything else, which you know, like the examples that I've shared with you. They've tried everything and they're like how come I'm still stuck? How come I'm keep hitting that same ceiling?
Speaker 1:That's amazing, that's cool. Um, okay, so one of the things, um, it says millions of people are unknowingly starving themselves of success and I guess it's through those and through the affirmations as opposed to affirmations people are just really kind of doing it to themselves. It's not really like from the outside in, it's the inside out.
Speaker 2:Well, that's actually my second epiphany that I had in 1997. Okay, so 1997 was my year for epiphanies.
Speaker 1:It sounds that way over three decades now.
Speaker 2:And actually one of my clients pointed out. They said Noah, did you realize that you've been doing this over four decades the nineties, the aughts, the tens and now in the twenties. I'm like, wow, I feel like Warren moon, you know in the in the NFL, pretty, pretty longevity here. So I like that. Anyway, I was actually.
Speaker 2:This was October of 1997 and I was sitting at a seminar on eating disorders and I realized, as the speaker was talking about people who develop eating disorder, I said, wow, that sounds just like me. I mean, you know, they have low self-esteem, they feel like they shouldn't be here. They, you know, don't have any self-worth and just kept going on. I'm like man, I check every box. And then I said why didn't I develop an eating disorder? And that's when I realized, wait a minute. And I said, why didn't I develop an eating disorder? And that's when I realized, wait a minute, I don't have an eating disorder, I actually have a success disorder. Now, nobody, no one, had ever said that before, like no one had ever even had that thought until I had that in that moment of October 20th 1997. I realized, wait a minute, I don't have eating anorexia, I have success anorexia.
Speaker 1:Oh, wow, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, which is again a term that I invented for that thing. And see, what I realized is that that, once I understood that, explain my whole life. I'm like, oh my God, I this whole time I've been starting myself with success, meaning that I have been settling for the crumbs of success just like other people settle for crumbs of food, yeah Right. And so I realized, of course, that I wasn't alone in that. I mean, I knew that it wasn't just me.
Speaker 2:You know, as Emerson said, what is most personal is most universal. So that was something that was very personal to me, but I knew it was, of course, universal to, you know, humans. And so, really, that's that was the impetus of why I wrote my very first book, which was entitled Permission to Succeed, which was subsequently published by the Chicken Soup for the Soul publisher. And then, as a result, now, all these years later, I'm actually the only author in history to have works published by Hay House, harpercollins, simon Schuster, mindvalley, nightingale, conant and the Chicken Soup for the Soul publisher. Those are all the major publishers of self-help on planet earth, and I'm the only author in history that's been published by all of them.
Speaker 1:Well, that's something to say there. That's cool, very cool. So you know what we believe or not. We're going to have to wrap this up soon. Um, so I know it goes quick, but no, we try to keep it around 30 minutes and, believe it or not, we're, we're almost there. So, um, yeah, you'll have to come back. Let's talk about the.
