  1. 0:00Hello everyone, welcome to Trev's Keys.
  2. 0:01This is number 80. Before I get into
  3. 0:03that, you maybe meet me for the first
  4. 0:05time and so you'd be rightly right to
  5. 0:07have some questions. Okay, first of all,
  6. 0:09who is he? I'm Trevor G Blake. I am a
  7. 0:11reader because I spend 4 hours a day
  8. 0:12reading. But if you look at my material
  9. 0:14life, you'd say, "Okay, Trevor's a a a
  10. 0:16serial entrepreneur." So, since 2003,
  11. 0:18I've built six companies. I've sold
  12. 0:21three for 300 million. Doesn't make me
  13. 0:23Jeff Bezos or or
  14. 0:25or Google or anything like that, but
  15. 0:26it's a pretty good result considering
  16. 0:28that I've never had another employee.
  17. 0:30I've always worked from my home office
  18. 0:31like this and I never work more than a
  19. 0:34few hours a day. And so, today I want to
  20. 0:36talk a little bit about how we use
  21. 0:37imagination in certain situations for
  22. 0:39our benefit. And one of the most
  23. 0:41important situations where imagination
  24. 0:43becomes very very powerful, we can
  25. 0:44achieve incredible
  26. 0:46incredible things
  27. 0:48is with regard to the early afternoon
  28. 0:51nap. And suddenly might laugh now and
  29. 0:53say, "A nap? I never have time for a
  30. 0:55nap." It's scientifically proven
  31. 0:57through neuroanatomy and neuroplasticity
  32. 0:59that the brain can only keep going for a
  33. 1:01certain period of time before it needs
  34. 1:02refueling. And if we structure our day 2
  35. 1:05hours of productive work period in the
  36. 1:07morning and then 2 hours of relaxation
  37. 1:08period we might feel that we've had 2
  38. 1:10hours of work and 2 hours of relaxation,
  39. 1:12but our brain doesn't tell the
  40. 1:13difference. Our brain can't tell the
  41. 1:14difference between when we're working on
  42. 1:15our computer or we're on the phone or in
  43. 1:17a Zoom meeting than when we're walking
  44. 1:19amongst the the woods because our brain
  45. 1:21is doing an interpretation of all the
  46. 1:23things around us for us. Our our sights
  47. 1:25our brain is interpreting photons and
  48. 1:27phonons and scents and all of these So
  49. 1:30so it's giving us our five sensory
  50. 1:32experience regardless of what we're
  51. 1:34doing. I might even make an argument to
  52. 1:36say that the brain is less tired when
  53. 1:37I'm just focusing on my computer than
  54. 1:39when I'm walking up a mountain. Because
  55. 1:42I'm I'm open to so many sensory
  56. 1:43experiences when I'm walking up a
  57. 1:44mountain. Whereas when I'm focused on my
  58. 1:46computer, it's really very little at
  59. 1:48all.
  60. 1:49So, the brain's working the whole time
  61. 1:51and you we need to give it a little bit
  62. 1:52of time to rejuvenate, refuel,
  63. 1:54reorganize.
  64. 1:56And the science shows that
  65. 1:58when we take the time
  66. 2:00post-lunch, early afternoon, to take a
  67. 2:0320-30 minute nap,
  68. 2:05we increase our brain's performance by
  69. 2:06up to 40%.
  70. 2:08NASA requires all its pilots to take an
  71. 2:10afternoon nap, and it increases their
  72. 2:12reflex time and their response time 34%.
  73. 2:15I know from experience,
  74. 2:17and I learned this from reading
  75. 2:19biographies, that the most amazing
  76. 2:21leaders in history, male and female, all
  77. 2:23claimed that they solved the world's
  78. 2:25problems
  79. 2:27while they were taking a nap. And in
  80. 2:28some cases,
  81. 2:30it was absolutely forbidden for them to
  82. 2:32be woken up, no matter what was
  83. 2:33happening in the world, it was forbidden
  84. 2:34for them to be woken up while they were
  85. 2:36napping. People would get fired if they
  86. 2:38tried it. It's so important to those who
  87. 2:40understand it, and you only understand
  88. 2:41it by doing it. Okay, you don't
  89. 2:43understand it by reading about it and
  90. 2:45thinking about it and and intellectually
  91. 2:47analyzing and thinking, yes, that would
  92. 2:49be nice, I get it, it makes sense. The
  93. 2:51only way you understand it is to do it,
  94. 2:53and then you get such a benefit from
  95. 2:54napping that it becomes a part of your
  96. 2:56life.
  97. 2:57And I make myself do it quite often I
  98. 2:59don't feel like doing it. Um but I make
  99. 3:01myself go and lie down, and sometimes I
  100. 3:03don't actually nap, but but mostly I do
  101. 3:05sort of nap a little bit.
  102. 3:07And the experience, if you've not done
  103. 3:09it, it's a wonderful experience because
  104. 3:10it's not enough time for you to get into
  105. 3:12REM sleep, rapid eye movement sleep.
  106. 3:14Crucial message, over the next 12 months
  107. 3:16we're going to select 33 people based on
  108. 3:19a mission and the ability to work with
  109. 3:21energies and consciousness to be a
  110. 3:23mentee of Trevor, and I'll help you to
  111. 3:27apply what he'll teach us. This will
  112. 3:29give you all the knowledge and all the
  113. 3:31accountability and tracking you need to
  114. 3:33be the
  115. 3:34the person you want to become.
  116. 3:37If you apply with the link below, we are
  117. 3:40going to a call and evaluate it. Thank
  118. 3:43you.
  119. 3:44So, your brain is sort of in a little
  120. 3:45twilight zone. I feel like it's in a
  121. 3:47veil. It's like like
  122. 3:49poking it's It's like the it's like the
  123. 3:51world's has suddenly become drapes
  124. 3:53across a window through which a breeze
  125. 3:55is blowing.
  126. 3:57And
  127. 3:58the drapes, you know, float across and
  128. 4:00they brush your skin and one moment
  129. 4:02you're inside the bedroom and the next
  130. 4:04moment you're sort of outside the
  131. 4:05bedroom because you're now by the you
  132. 4:06know, you're you're closer to the window
  133. 4:07and the drapes are behind you and then
  134. 4:09the drapes blow forward and you're back
  135. 4:10in the bedroom. And you kind of move in
  136. 4:12and out of this gossamer veil.
  137. 4:14And it's I've had amazing things happen
  138. 4:17during this nap period. It It feels when
  139. 4:19amazing things happen, it feels like
  140. 4:20I've been napping for hours, but
  141. 4:21actually it's been 20 minutes.
  142. 4:23And I've had a lot of spiritual
  143. 4:24experiences and and I've come up with
  144. 4:27incredible ideas and as if there's it's
  145. 4:29just a very powerful time.
  146. 4:31But what I like to do is make best use
  147. 4:33of this period.
  148. 4:34And so
  149. 4:36the sages with better brains than mine
  150. 4:38over the centuries have suggested that
  151. 4:41how we prepare for this nap is very
  152. 4:42important. And if before we go into this
  153. 4:44nap that we create a deliberate
  154. 4:48imagination of what we want. And then we
  155. 4:51go into the nap
  156. 4:53then we speed up how soon that thing
  157. 4:56becomes real.
  158. 4:58We We sort of construct mentally a drama
  159. 5:01which implies that our desire is already
  160. 5:04realized and we make it one that
  161. 5:05involves us moving. So we Let's say I
  162. 5:08imagine
  163. 5:09um I've achieved a certain thing.
  164. 5:11Well, I'm imagining now I've achieved a
  165. 5:13certain thing and I feel so good about
  166. 5:14it. I'm going to take a nap. So as I'm
  167. 5:16walking to take a nap, I imagine that I
  168. 5:18have achieved all this thing.
  169. 5:20And then I'm lying taking a nap having
  170. 5:22achieved. So I'm not in my current
  171. 5:24situation taking a nap and then
  172. 5:26imagining what it feels like to be
  173. 5:27successful. I'm I'm imagining what it's
  174. 5:29like to be successful as I'm preparing
  175. 5:32to take a nap even if I'm just lying on
  176. 5:34the couch or lying on a bed. Typically,
  177. 5:35I lie on a bed. Um s- completely silent,
  178. 5:38no sound anywhere.
  179. 5:40Uh just the sound of nature coming
  180. 5:41through the windows. And so then we get
  181. 5:43we get into the nap position and we we
  182. 5:45our outer physical self and we behave as
  183. 5:48if we're going to take a nap, but we
  184. 5:50have this predetermined action of
  185. 5:51imagination and vivid representation of
  186. 5:54what it feels like to be successful,
  187. 5:56that we've just been successful and
  188. 5:58we're rewarding ourselves with a nap.
  189. 6:00And we're going to think about how
  190. 6:01fantastic it feels.
  191. 6:03And then as we're sort of gently not
  192. 6:05falling asleep so much, but gently
  193. 6:06rolling into that gossamer world, we
  194. 6:09consciously imagine ourselves into the
  195. 6:11scene of success.
  196. 6:13Almost as if we've had it and we're just
  197. 6:15trying to remember it before we go to
  198. 6:17sleep cuz we feel really good about
  199. 6:18ourselves. It's like it just happened.
  200. 6:21And I'm going to re-reimagine that. It
  201. 6:22was fantastic, wasn't it? When I got
  202. 6:24that award, when I was on stage, when I
  203. 6:26made that amazing speech and everyone
  204. 6:28was applauding.
  205. 6:29Ah, that went well. I deserve this nap.
  206. 6:32Okay? What we're not doing is laying
  207. 6:34down and having a nap and saying,
  208. 6:35"Wouldn't it be great if?" or then
  209. 6:37imagining
  210. 6:38our success.
  211. 6:39We're treating ourselves to the nap as
  212. 6:41if we're giving ourselves a pat on the
  213. 6:43back for the success that just happened.
  214. 6:45And then how long we nap is
  215. 6:47irrelevant.
  216. 6:48It's the action that carries us into the
  217. 6:50sleep.
  218. 6:51That as the great sages say, thickens
  219. 6:53fancy into fact or as as um
  220. 6:56John Livingston Lowes put it, these
  221. 6:59people
  222. 7:00put things so much better than I do. I
  223. 7:01envy them, but it's he said,
  224. 7:03"But I have long had the feeling
  225. 7:05which this study had matured to a
  226. 7:07conviction." This is a study of napping.
  227. 7:09"That fancy and imagination are not two
  228. 7:12powers at all, but one power. Fancy and
  229. 7:14imagination are one power.
  230. 7:16The valid distinction which exists
  231. 7:17between them lies not in the materials
  232. 7:20with which they operate, but in the
  233. 7:22degree of intensity of the operant power
  234. 7:24itself.
  235. 7:25Working at high tension, the imaginative
  236. 7:27energy assimilates and transmutes.
  237. 7:30Keyed low, the same energy aggregates
  238. 7:33and yolks together those images which at
  239. 7:35its highest pitch it merges indissolubly
  240. 7:39into one. Fancy assembles and
  241. 7:41imagination fuses.
  242. 7:44A lot of fancy words. You might want to
  243. 7:46replay that a few times.
  244. 7:48But what he's saying, my interpretation
  245. 7:49of what he's saying
  246. 7:51is that when we take our desire and we
  247. 7:54imagine it is already fulfilled
  248. 7:56and we go into the nap process imagining
  249. 7:59that it's just happened and we're giving
  250. 8:01ourselves a reward, a pat on the back
  251. 8:03then there is no longer any division
  252. 8:06between fancy
  253. 8:07and imagination. That they're not two
  254. 8:09separate things, but they become one,
  255. 8:11they become fused. And in doing that, we
  256. 8:13pull from what would have been our
  257. 8:15future self into the present self, the
  258. 8:18success that we desire.
  259. 8:20And we do that by simply going to have a
  260. 8:22nap, imagining this amazing success we
  261. 8:24just had, and then actually going and
  262. 8:26having a nap, having a little snooze and
  263. 8:28let life fill in the details and like
  264. 8:30let your neurons go to work.
  265. 8:32So try it. The only way like anything we
  266. 8:34do, the only way to experience it is to
  267. 8:36do it. You can't learn this stuff. You
  268. 8:38can read about it in books, but you have
  269. 8:40to then practice and get the benefit for
  270. 8:42yourself. And uh that's it. I hope
  271. 8:44that's very useful for you. Um I take a
  272. 8:46nap every single day, even when I don't
  273. 8:48feel like taking one, I make myself.
  274. 8:50And it's probably one of the best things
  275. 8:52I do in my life. Have a great week and
  276. 8:55remember make a positive difference in
  277. 8:57someone's life. Have fun doing it and
  278. 8:59sharing in all the rewards, material and
  279. 9:01otherwise, that come naturally as a
  280. 9:02result of setting that energy in motion.
  281. 9:04Most of my minds are scientifically
  282. 9:06proven to catapult success.
  283. 9:08Especially when members are aligned to
  284. 9:11tested tools that impact health, wealth,
  285. 9:12and relationships.
  286. 9:14Typically, these are the three things we
  287. 9:15all care about the most. This is our
  288. 9:17fourth year of doing a mastermind and
  289. 9:19the results in years one to three were
  290. 9:21better even than my expectations. The
  291. 9:23tools we teach are not temporary
  292. 9:25motivation. They're scientifically
  293. 9:27proven frameworks and you can use them
  294. 9:29for the rest of your life. Once
  295. 9:31understood
  296. 9:32there's no need to go backwards. As you
  297. 9:34may know, I'm not a hustle salesman.
  298. 9:37Inside the mastermind, I help you live
  299. 9:39the anti-hustle life, actually, the
  300. 9:40balanced life.
  301. 9:42I help you get debt free to achieve
  302. 9:43financial independence, find inspiring
  303. 9:45relationships, enjoy optimal mentality
  304. 9:48hacks to finally take control of your
  305. 9:49life. But, what we ask you to do is we
  306. 9:51focus on updating the source code, which
  307. 9:54only humans have. That is embedded in
  308. 9:56the reticular activation system here and
  309. 9:58the mirror neurons. So, here and here
  310. 10:00are the secrets. And no one else teaches
  311. 10:02this.
  312. 10:03It means you can succeed, actually, just
  313. 10:05by observation, just by being in the
  314. 10:07mastermind.
  315. 10:08No one is required to step onto a stage,
  316. 10:10not even me. It's a mastermind group,
  317. 10:12not a classroom.
  318. 10:14And because the chemistry of the group
  319. 10:15matters, membership is by application
  320. 10:17only. We're looking for people who are
  321. 10:19committed, not just to learning the
  322. 10:21tools, but to applying them. Some
  323. 10:23discipline is required. Some work is
  324. 10:25required.
  325. 10:26And finally, I'm also delighted to
  326. 10:28announce that with this mastermind, join
  327. 10:30the next mastermind year, as I continue
  328. 10:32my travels around the world, I intend to
  329. 10:34meet members face-to-face whenever
  330. 10:35possible. Visiting ports and locations
  331. 10:38near where you live to make it easy. I
  332. 10:40hope you'll join us.
  333. 10:42I want to blow your minds. Five years
  334. 10:44from now,
  335. 10:45you will be somewhere. And the only
  336. 10:46question is whether you arrive there by
  337. 10:49accident or by design.
  338. 10:51And if you're ready to build by design,
  339. 10:53then apply to join our mastermind. Thank
  340. 10:56you.
