Mike Lindstrom – Author, speaker, Trained in the psychology of influence. Worked directly with Tony Robbins

• Happiness as an outcome
• Choice component
• Multifamily Industry is significant – high task and relationship driven
• Legislative issues require some rigidity, but there is also a human relationship component
• Feel better as a winner – “You can’t give away what you don’t have.”

Experience with Tony Robbins

• Entrepreneur group
• There to learn and move on
• Loyal group
• Stay with Robbins for the long haul

Elements of Psychology

• There’s no such thing as an excuse
• Everything taught by Robbins could be used in other areas of life and business

Leading Teams / Happiness

• Coaching leaders who deal with many different employees
• 50% of your ability to be happy is genetic – straight from mom and dad
• 50% of your ability to be happy is a choice – family, friends, home, work life, etc.
• Some people’s happiness setpoint may be much lower than others
• Extrinsic Happiness: Things outside of yourself – car, job, money, etc. These only create temporary happiness.
• Intrinsic Happiness: Things inside – gratitude, meditation, prayer, family, connection with community, giving back, etc. These create long-term happiness.
• Not only your neighborhood but also social media – online groups, book groups

SECTION 3

Relationships

• Communication is key
• No different in business than in personal relationships
• It all comes down to communication

People want to tell their story

• Ask questions
• Be the change
• Clients should be excited to see your name on the caller ID – take the time to ask the questions
• Do it for “No Good Reason”
• Practice communication/gratitude once a month with your community (could be work, geographical, etc.) to collapse the distance
  1. Only takes 90 seconds

SECTION 4

Takeaway

• 50% of happiness is genetic
• 40% is intentional behavior
• 10% is your general life circumstance

You can control your Intentional Behavior and your General Life Circumstance!

Cell Phone / Media

1. Do not turn on your phone or the news in the morning until you’re ready
2. Choose which news outlets you watch – keep it positive, guard your happiness
3. Start your day happy, stay happy

Intrinsic Happiness

• Practice gratitude
• Focus on family, friends, positivity in your life
• Create connections with family, friends, co-workers, clients

Batch Activities

• High-transaction work, difficult to be “on fire” all the time
• Give yourself the 40/50% chance for happiness by starting your day with positivity – You control your morning
• Start your week with 15-20 minutes every Sunday looking at your calendar and goals – add time for yourself (workouts, meditation, gratitude journaling, date night, family fun, etc.)

Mind and Body are One

• If one side of the equation is off, the other side is not balanced either
• Get out of your slump – sends a message of lack of confidence
• Practice positive self-talk, strong language patterns
