Episode description as stored
I help founders & executives generating more than $10M in revenue find their Easy Mode. Start here: https://ryanhanley.com/subscribe Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtube.com/ryanmhanley I spent years believing the gap between where I was and where I wanted to be was a work problem. Michael Bernoff calls it what it is: a language problem. Michael has spent more than 25 years studying how language drives behavior. Jim Rohn mentored him from 1999 to 2009. His book Average Sucks took nine years to write, because he wanted a book people finish. His framework, Human Interaction Technology, is built on one idea: the words you choose program the results you get. We cover why capable people stay stuck, the success script nobody handed you, and why confidence without competence is noise. Michael breaks down problem language versus solution language and what each does to your brain chemistry. Problems push your body toward cortisol. Solutions push it toward serotonin. Then he drops the line I can't shake: "Work hard and be a good person. That's a shitty plan for a business owner." We also get into the three words that rewire any limiting belief, up until now, and his missing Step 13: the way you talk about you is how the world learns to treat you. This one changed how I hear my own self-talk. This is the way. Hanley.
