    John Mitchell

    John’s story is pretty amazing. After spending 20 years as an entrepreneur, John was 50 years old but wasn’t as successful as he thought he should be. To rectify that, he decided to find the “top book in the world” on SUCCESS and apply that book literally Word for Word to his life. That Book is Think & Grow Rich. The book says there’s a SECRET for success, but the author only gives you half the secret. John figured out the full secret and a 12 minute a day technique to apply it.

    When John applied his 12 minute a day technique to his life, he saw his yearly income go to over $5 million a year, after 20 years of $200k - 300k per year. The 25 times increase happened because John LEVERAGED himself by applying science to his life.

    His daily technique works because it focuses you ONLY on what moves the needle, triples your discipline, and consistently generates new business ideas every week. This happens because of 3 key aspects of the leveraging process.

    John’s technique was profiled on the cover of Time Magazine. He teaches it at the University of Texas’ McCombs School of Business, which is one the TOP 5 business schools in the country. He is also the “mental coach” for the head athletic coaches at the University of Texas as well.

  • You’re the PROBLEM but You’re Also the SOLUTION
    May 8 2025

    In this episode of The Missing Secret Podcast, John and Kelly discuss the idea that you are both the problem and the solution. And to illustrate this idea, Kelly shares something interesting going on in her recruitment business. Her company wants to go to eight figures a year in revenues. But they can’t seem to get past seven figures a year in revenues. When you step back, Kelly is both the problem and the solution. Her company is a reflection of her. And while they are very successful, the company isn’t as successful as Kelly would like it to be.

    And through self-awareness, and tuning into reality, Kelly realized that she needed to go to someone that was already playing the game at a higher level in the recruitment business. So she finds someone in Denver. She didn’t know what she didn’t know. But she knew there were things she didn’t know. And now from seeking the wisdom of someone playing the game at a higher level, she has transformed her business. And she saw in detail that she was the problem in terms of how she was hiring and compensating her people. Now she’s getting much higher quality people with a better comp plan. This is a perfect example of you’re both the problem and the solution.

    During this podcast John and Kelly talk about the high-performance habit of deep thinking twice a week. This is the skill that allows you to tune into reality and also figure out your business. There is a constant dance between the conscious mind and the subconscious mind. So during these deep thinking sessions, that’s all conscious mind figuring out your business and your life. And then when you figure it out, the enlightenment is reflected on your life GPS template. Then you feed that to yourself each day. That influences the subconscious mind. The doing part of you. Which then causes the right actions to happen automatically without thinking to create the desired life you want.

  • Your Life is Precious – Coming to Grips with That
    May 1 2025

    In this episode of The Missing Secret Podcast, John and Kelly discuss the idea of making the audience appreciate individually how precious their life is. Coming to grips with that. John talks about when this really came home in his life. It was when his mom was dying of pancreatic cancer when he was 50 years old. At the same time John was engrossed in reading think and grow Rich probably 20 times to figure out the full secret of that legendary book. And as he would go to the hospital every night to see his mom, after he saw her he would cry his eyes out in the hospital parking lot for like 45 minutes every night. John had never experienced anything so gut wrenching. What he came to realize was that he felt like he was letting his mom down with his average life.

    After his mom and dad had given him all the advantages. That’s when John really came to appreciate how precious his life as he saw the gift of life leaving his mom. And in the end, that feeling of letting his mom down with his life with like rocket fuel in causing John to go deeper than anyone on the planet ever had to figure out the full secret of think and grow Rich. And the essence of what John created with his 12 minute a day technique is a way of doing life. Most people are just winging life. They don’t have an actual way of doing life. But that’s what the think it be it 12 minute a day methodology is. An actual way of doing life. During this podcast John also brings up another concept. You’re the problem and you’re the solution. Whatever problem you have in your life you are the problem.

    But here’s the good news. You’re also the solution. Once you grasp this, it’s tremendously empowering. And you use the TIBI methodology to implement the solution. And then finally John and Kelly talk about the process of enlightenment. It’s not linear. There are pivotal moments in your life where your level of enlightenment goes much higher. From learning one or two key things from someone more enlightening you are.
