Segment:- From Mentors to Millions: Mindset Shift That Speeds Up Success

What if the only thing between you and your next level is someone else’s belief system? We unpack how a mentor’s no-ceiling mindset can reset your definition of “normal,” turning a $100,000 day from a miracle into a metric—and why that shift is the real engine behind sustainable growth.

We share the pivotal story of joining Dr. Miles Munroe’s mentorship, the hesitation that almost cost a life-changing season, and the sobering lesson learned when time ran out. From there, we break down why paying for access isn’t about hype—it’s about leverage. When a single conversation in the right room can generate $300,000 in sales, investing $20k, $55k, or even $250k in personal development becomes a measured decision, not a gamble. You’ll hear how to evaluate rooms, choose mentors who are coached themselves, and translate borrowed conviction into better decisions, faster execution, and compounding outcomes.

Then we get tactical. Business works like farming: January’s seeds show up in April, and August’s harvest depends on May’s consistency. We outline a seed-sowing system—daily outreach quotas, steady webinars, emails, texts, and offers—that eliminates dry spells and turns harvest into something automatic. Patience becomes easier with the Chinese bamboo analogy: years of quiet rootwork followed by a sudden surge that repays the long wait. Discipline beats motivation because discipline sows on schedule, even when feelings don’t. Tie it all together and you get a simple, powerful blueprint: invest in minds that stretch you, sow every day, and give growth time to show.

If this conversation moved you, subscribe, share it with someone who needs a bigger “normal,” and leave a review to help more builders find the show. Ready to go deeper? Join the community at connectedacademy.com and tell us: what seed will you plant today?

That's a whole nother level. So my point in that the mind, if I say the transfer of the mindset, is that no matter what resolve or anything I brought to him, he never let me think that was there. That like there's no there there. There's no like you've arrived. It doesn't matter. Like, oh my, my 10 million. Okay, what about how do we get to 100? My hard made a hundred million. Oh no, why don't we get to a billion? It's the mindset of like no number is too big. No number is it it it changed my mindset. He changed my mindset and like it helped me to, I know that sounds crazy, but I look at a hundred thousand dollars in a day as like a normal thing before coming in. That was not normal to me. But now I have a different psyche, a whole different mindset. Like I look at things completely differently because he transferred his belief system, his belief in in people and his belief to me. And that's what that's what has changed the game for me.

But David, as I speak, you have three mentors right now. Yes. How do you believe so much in mentorship?

SPEAKER_00: 0:58

I love I love what Dr. Mike Murdoch said. He said there's two ways to learn in life mistakes or mentors. So mistakes is the slowest path to learn. Mentorship is the fastest path to learn. I love speed. I love to be able to get to where I need to go fast. And I feel like there's always a story, and and I don't I don't share this often, but one of my mentors, one of my late mentors, is the late Dr. Miles Monroe. And for those that are familiar, right, he's a kingdom teacher. And I had an opportunity to work with him personally. And a friend of mine invited me to come to his, you know, be a part of his mentorship. And I was like, I didn't even want to hear the price. I didn't want to hear the offer. I didn't want to hear anything. I just like I assumed it was gonna be crazy. I was like, nah, and I'm this is why I'm working in corporate America, like 2014, 20, no, 2013. And I didn't I didn't want to hear it. I didn't want to hear what it was about. He said, no, David, David, you you gotta you gotta join this. It's amazing, it's amazing. And I ignored him for like almost a year. And then eventually something just said, join it. I joined, I joined, and I was like, wow, this value for this? I was like, wow, it's crazy. It's crazy. So I joined his mentorship. I'm in there, it's changing my life. He's personally responding to different things and sharing different concepts. I'm going through some of the curriculum in Miles Monroe's mentorship, and it's changing my life. It's it's adding so much value to my life. I'm learning about potential, I'm learning about purpose, I'm learning about work and all these great concepts. And we're now a few months in, I think six to be exact, and I'm in the sixth month in, and Dr. Miles Monroe dies in a plane crash. This was the month he died. And I was at a I was at a I was at a Christian rap concert, and I heard the news, and I I was so devastated for his mentees, for his family, and then for me. I asked myself, if my life has changed this drastically in these six months that I've worked with this gentleman, what would have happened if when my friend said, David, you should join? My life would have been completely different. And the reality is I that moment taught me I never miss now. I get an opportunity to invest in a mentor or mentorship that can take, oh, you can help me get fast tracked to go to the next level. I don't care what the investment is, is$55,000,$20,000, whatever. I invested just last year$250,000 in my personal event, personal development last year. Because that's how important it is to me to go to another level. If I can, if I can, one conversation, one room, one thing, one conversation specifically, um brought us around$300,000 in sales. One person. So imagine that like in one room. So what could happen if you're in multiple rooms or multiple mentors? What can happen? You just fast track. So that's what's what's happened for us is I believe in mentorship. I I I have mentorship, I encourage mentorship, I have mentors. Never trust a mentor who doesn't have a mentor, never trust a coach who doesn't have a coach. Motivation or discipline? Discipline, 100%. What's the best advice you've ever received? The best advice I've ever received is around farming. So that's uh that's gonna sound odd. But one of my mentors said to me, he said, David, business is like farming. When you understand this, you always have business. He said, in farming, if I have a tomato seed today, can I put the tomato seed in the ground and have a tomato tomorrow? It's not possible, right? Unless it's a GMO. Right? But I will not be able to have a tomato harvest tomorrow, my seed today. So whatever you do in January, you don't see it in February or even March. You'll see it in April. Whatever you do in February, you're gonna see in May. Whatever you do in March, you're gonna see in June. So if you always sow seed, you're always gonna have an harvest. But here's the concept that he really broke it down for me. So where a lot of entrepreneurs fail is they sow seed January, February, March, right? Then April, May, and June. Oh, May, oh man, things are great. I'm gonna slow down a little bit. Okay, May is fine, June is fine, okay? July is fine. August comes. You're like, man, but July was so good last month. What's going on? You didn't realize your August harvest was tied to your May seed. So your seed sowing has to be consistent. You have to sow seed in every way. So for me, with webinars, that's doing webinars, sending out emails, sending out text messages, putting out different offers. That's seed sowing. I'm sowing seed constantly. Doesn't matter. I I have a quota that I have for every day. Every day I'm gonna do 10 outreach, five outreaches every day. Doesn't matter where I'm at in the world, whatever, whatever I'm doing, five outreach. I keep the seed mentality mindset. I'm I don't care, I don't care. Oh, we oh we close this amount of business. I don't care. I need to sow seed today, every day. I believe that if you always sow seed, you'll never have a harvest, you'll never ever have to worry about a harvest. You don't even need to think about harvest. Harvest is automatic when you focus on the seed, sowing seed.

Beautiful. And I think what people should also understand is that if you are working on something great, there's always a waiting time. That's it. You'd always have to wait. That's right. Uh an example is a Chinese bamboo tree. You know, you you plant it today and for years you see nothing. That's right. And but when it starts coming, it goes really tall. And then I think I said this in the in the seminar that we had. Yeah. Yeah. Sometimes in business, you can work for 10 years and you don't see any great success. But then one year can cover the entire 10 years. That's it. Sometimes it's even a month. So true. You know, so we just need to understand the waiting, the waiting in business. As long as we are working, we can wait. I 100% agree. David, thank you so much for your time. I really appreciate you and for the value you've given to our audience.
