How I used naps to manifest my $200m exit — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00Hello everyone, welcome to Trev's Keys.
- 0:01This is number 80. Before I get into
- 0:03that, you maybe meet me for the first
- 0:05time and so you'd be rightly right to
- 0:07have some questions. Okay, first of all,
- 0:09who is he? I'm Trevor G Blake. I am a
- 0:11reader because I spend 4 hours a day
- 0:12reading. But if you look at my material
- 0:14life, you'd say, "Okay, Trevor's a a a
- 0:16serial entrepreneur." So, since 2003,
- 0:18I've built six companies. I've sold
- 0:21three for 300 million. Doesn't make me
- 0:23Jeff Bezos or or
- 0:25or Google or anything like that, but
- 0:26it's a pretty good result considering
- 0:28that I've never had another employee.
- 0:30I've always worked from my home office
- 0:31like this and I never work more than a
- 0:34few hours a day. And so, today I want to
- 0:36talk a little bit about how we use
- 0:37imagination in certain situations for
- 0:39our benefit. And one of the most
- 0:41important situations where imagination
- 0:43becomes very very powerful, we can
- 0:44achieve incredible
- 0:46incredible things
- 0:48is with regard to the early afternoon
- 0:51nap. And suddenly might laugh now and
- 0:53say, "A nap? I never have time for a
- 0:55nap." It's scientifically proven
- 0:57through neuroanatomy and neuroplasticity
- 0:59that the brain can only keep going for a
- 1:01certain period of time before it needs
- 1:02refueling. And if we structure our day 2
- 1:05hours of productive work period in the
- 1:07morning and then 2 hours of relaxation
- 1:08period we might feel that we've had 2
- 1:10hours of work and 2 hours of relaxation,
- 1:12but our brain doesn't tell the
- 1:13difference. Our brain can't tell the
- 1:14difference between when we're working on
- 1:15our computer or we're on the phone or in
- 1:17a Zoom meeting than when we're walking
- 1:19amongst the the woods because our brain
- 1:21is doing an interpretation of all the
- 1:23things around us for us. Our our sights
- 1:25our brain is interpreting photons and
- 1:27phonons and scents and all of these So
- 1:30so it's giving us our five sensory
- 1:32experience regardless of what we're
- 1:34doing. I might even make an argument to
- 1:36say that the brain is less tired when
- 1:37I'm just focusing on my computer than
- 1:39when I'm walking up a mountain. Because
- 1:42I'm I'm open to so many sensory
- 1:43experiences when I'm walking up a
- 1:44mountain. Whereas when I'm focused on my
- 1:46computer, it's really very little at
- 1:48all.
- 1:49So, the brain's working the whole time
- 1:51and you we need to give it a little bit
- 1:52of time to rejuvenate, refuel,
- 1:54reorganize.
- 1:56And the science shows that
- 1:58when we take the time
- 2:00post-lunch, early afternoon, to take a
- 2:0320-30 minute nap,
- 2:05we increase our brain's performance by
- 2:06up to 40%.
- 2:08NASA requires all its pilots to take an
- 2:10afternoon nap, and it increases their
- 2:12reflex time and their response time 34%.
- 2:15I know from experience,
- 2:17and I learned this from reading
- 2:19biographies, that the most amazing
- 2:21leaders in history, male and female, all
- 2:23claimed that they solved the world's
- 2:25problems
- 2:27while they were taking a nap. And in
- 2:28some cases,
- 2:30it was absolutely forbidden for them to
- 2:32be woken up, no matter what was
- 2:33happening in the world, it was forbidden
- 2:34for them to be woken up while they were
- 2:36napping. People would get fired if they
- 2:38tried it. It's so important to those who
- 2:40understand it, and you only understand
- 2:41it by doing it. Okay, you don't
- 2:43understand it by reading about it and
- 2:45thinking about it and and intellectually
- 2:47analyzing and thinking, yes, that would
- 2:49be nice, I get it, it makes sense. The
- 2:51only way you understand it is to do it,
- 2:53and then you get such a benefit from
- 2:54napping that it becomes a part of your
- 2:56life.
- 2:57And I make myself do it quite often I
- 2:59don't feel like doing it. Um but I make
- 3:01myself go and lie down, and sometimes I
- 3:03don't actually nap, but but mostly I do
- 3:05sort of nap a little bit.
- 3:07And the experience, if you've not done
- 3:09it, it's a wonderful experience because
- 3:10it's not enough time for you to get into
- 3:12REM sleep, rapid eye movement sleep.
- 3:14Crucial message, over the next 12 months
- 3:16we're going to select 33 people based on
- 3:19a mission and the ability to work with
- 3:21energies and consciousness to be a
- 3:23mentee of Trevor, and I'll help you to
- 3:27apply what he'll teach us. This will
- 3:29give you all the knowledge and all the
- 3:31accountability and tracking you need to
- 3:33be the
- 3:34the person you want to become.
- 3:37If you apply with the link below, we are
- 3:40going to a call and evaluate it. Thank
- 3:43you.
- 3:44So, your brain is sort of in a little
- 3:45twilight zone. I feel like it's in a
- 3:47veil. It's like like
- 3:49poking it's It's like the it's like the
- 3:51world's has suddenly become drapes
- 3:53across a window through which a breeze
- 3:55is blowing.
- 3:57And
- 3:58the drapes, you know, float across and
- 4:00they brush your skin and one moment
- 4:02you're inside the bedroom and the next
- 4:04moment you're sort of outside the
- 4:05bedroom because you're now by the you
- 4:06know, you're you're closer to the window
- 4:07and the drapes are behind you and then
- 4:09the drapes blow forward and you're back
- 4:10in the bedroom. And you kind of move in
- 4:12and out of this gossamer veil.
- 4:14And it's I've had amazing things happen
- 4:17during this nap period. It It feels when
- 4:19amazing things happen, it feels like
- 4:20I've been napping for hours, but
- 4:21actually it's been 20 minutes.
- 4:23And I've had a lot of spiritual
- 4:24experiences and and I've come up with
- 4:27incredible ideas and as if there's it's
- 4:29just a very powerful time.
- 4:31But what I like to do is make best use
- 4:33of this period.
- 4:34And so
- 4:36the sages with better brains than mine
- 4:38over the centuries have suggested that
- 4:41how we prepare for this nap is very
- 4:42important. And if before we go into this
- 4:44nap that we create a deliberate
- 4:48imagination of what we want. And then we
- 4:51go into the nap
- 4:53then we speed up how soon that thing
- 4:56becomes real.
- 4:58We We sort of construct mentally a drama
- 5:01which implies that our desire is already
- 5:04realized and we make it one that
- 5:05involves us moving. So we Let's say I
- 5:08imagine
- 5:09um I've achieved a certain thing.
- 5:11Well, I'm imagining now I've achieved a
- 5:13certain thing and I feel so good about
- 5:14it. I'm going to take a nap. So as I'm
- 5:16walking to take a nap, I imagine that I
- 5:18have achieved all this thing.
- 5:20And then I'm lying taking a nap having
- 5:22achieved. So I'm not in my current
- 5:24situation taking a nap and then
- 5:26imagining what it feels like to be
- 5:27successful. I'm I'm imagining what it's
- 5:29like to be successful as I'm preparing
- 5:32to take a nap even if I'm just lying on
- 5:34the couch or lying on a bed. Typically,
- 5:35I lie on a bed. Um s- completely silent,
- 5:38no sound anywhere.
- 5:40Uh just the sound of nature coming
- 5:41through the windows. And so then we get
- 5:43we get into the nap position and we we
- 5:45our outer physical self and we behave as
- 5:48if we're going to take a nap, but we
- 5:50have this predetermined action of
- 5:51imagination and vivid representation of
- 5:54what it feels like to be successful,
- 5:56that we've just been successful and
- 5:58we're rewarding ourselves with a nap.
- 6:00And we're going to think about how
- 6:01fantastic it feels.
- 6:03And then as we're sort of gently not
- 6:05falling asleep so much, but gently
- 6:06rolling into that gossamer world, we
- 6:09consciously imagine ourselves into the
- 6:11scene of success.
- 6:13Almost as if we've had it and we're just
- 6:15trying to remember it before we go to
- 6:17sleep cuz we feel really good about
- 6:18ourselves. It's like it just happened.
- 6:21And I'm going to re-reimagine that. It
- 6:22was fantastic, wasn't it? When I got
- 6:24that award, when I was on stage, when I
- 6:26made that amazing speech and everyone
- 6:28was applauding.
- 6:29Ah, that went well. I deserve this nap.
- 6:32Okay? What we're not doing is laying
- 6:34down and having a nap and saying,
- 6:35"Wouldn't it be great if?" or then
- 6:37imagining
- 6:38our success.
- 6:39We're treating ourselves to the nap as
- 6:41if we're giving ourselves a pat on the
- 6:43back for the success that just happened.
- 6:45And then how long we nap is
- 6:47irrelevant.
- 6:48It's the action that carries us into the
- 6:50sleep.
- 6:51That as the great sages say, thickens
- 6:53fancy into fact or as as um
- 6:56John Livingston Lowes put it, these
- 6:59people
- 7:00put things so much better than I do. I
- 7:01envy them, but it's he said,
- 7:03"But I have long had the feeling
- 7:05which this study had matured to a
- 7:07conviction." This is a study of napping.
- 7:09"That fancy and imagination are not two
- 7:12powers at all, but one power. Fancy and
- 7:14imagination are one power.
- 7:16The valid distinction which exists
- 7:17between them lies not in the materials
- 7:20with which they operate, but in the
- 7:22degree of intensity of the operant power
- 7:24itself.
- 7:25Working at high tension, the imaginative
- 7:27energy assimilates and transmutes.
- 7:30Keyed low, the same energy aggregates
- 7:33and yolks together those images which at
- 7:35its highest pitch it merges indissolubly
- 7:39into one. Fancy assembles and
- 7:41imagination fuses.
- 7:44A lot of fancy words. You might want to
- 7:46replay that a few times.
- 7:48But what he's saying, my interpretation
- 7:49of what he's saying
- 7:51is that when we take our desire and we
- 7:54imagine it is already fulfilled
- 7:56and we go into the nap process imagining
- 7:59that it's just happened and we're giving
- 8:01ourselves a reward, a pat on the back
- 8:03then there is no longer any division
- 8:06between fancy
- 8:07and imagination. That they're not two
- 8:09separate things, but they become one,
- 8:11they become fused. And in doing that, we
- 8:13pull from what would have been our
- 8:15future self into the present self, the
- 8:18success that we desire.
- 8:20And we do that by simply going to have a
- 8:22nap, imagining this amazing success we
- 8:24just had, and then actually going and
- 8:26having a nap, having a little snooze and
- 8:28let life fill in the details and like
- 8:30let your neurons go to work.
- 8:32So try it. The only way like anything we
- 8:34do, the only way to experience it is to
- 8:36do it. You can't learn this stuff. You
- 8:38can read about it in books, but you have
- 8:40to then practice and get the benefit for
- 8:42yourself. And uh that's it. I hope
- 8:44that's very useful for you. Um I take a
- 8:46nap every single day, even when I don't
- 8:48feel like taking one, I make myself.
- 8:50And it's probably one of the best things
- 8:52I do in my life. Have a great week and
- 8:55remember make a positive difference in
- 8:57someone's life. Have fun doing it and
- 8:59sharing in all the rewards, material and
- 9:01otherwise, that come naturally as a
- 9:02result of setting that energy in motion.
- 9:04Most of my minds are scientifically
- 9:06proven to catapult success.
- 9:08Especially when members are aligned to
- 9:11tested tools that impact health, wealth,
- 9:12and relationships.
- 9:14Typically, these are the three things we
- 9:15all care about the most. This is our
- 9:17fourth year of doing a mastermind and
- 9:19the results in years one to three were
- 9:21better even than my expectations. The
- 9:23tools we teach are not temporary
- 9:25motivation. They're scientifically
- 9:27proven frameworks and you can use them
- 9:29for the rest of your life. Once
- 9:31understood
- 9:32there's no need to go backwards. As you
- 9:34may know, I'm not a hustle salesman.
- 9:37Inside the mastermind, I help you live
- 9:39the anti-hustle life, actually, the
- 9:40balanced life.
- 9:42I help you get debt free to achieve
- 9:43financial independence, find inspiring
- 9:45relationships, enjoy optimal mentality
- 9:48hacks to finally take control of your
- 9:49life. But, what we ask you to do is we
- 9:51focus on updating the source code, which
- 9:54only humans have. That is embedded in
- 9:56the reticular activation system here and
- 9:58the mirror neurons. So, here and here
- 10:00are the secrets. And no one else teaches
- 10:02this.
- 10:03It means you can succeed, actually, just
- 10:05by observation, just by being in the
- 10:07mastermind.
- 10:08No one is required to step onto a stage,
- 10:10not even me. It's a mastermind group,
- 10:12not a classroom.
- 10:14And because the chemistry of the group
- 10:15matters, membership is by application
- 10:17only. We're looking for people who are
- 10:19committed, not just to learning the
- 10:21tools, but to applying them. Some
- 10:23discipline is required. Some work is
- 10:25required.
- 10:26And finally, I'm also delighted to
- 10:28announce that with this mastermind, join
- 10:30the next mastermind year, as I continue
- 10:32my travels around the world, I intend to
- 10:34meet members face-to-face whenever
- 10:35possible. Visiting ports and locations
- 10:38near where you live to make it easy. I
- 10:40hope you'll join us.
- 10:42I want to blow your minds. Five years
- 10:44from now,
- 10:45you will be somewhere. And the only
- 10:46question is whether you arrive there by
- 10:49accident or by design.
- 10:51And if you're ready to build by design,
- 10:53then apply to join our mastermind. Thank
- 10:56you.
