00:00:00.420 --> 00:00:05.033
Welcome to the Living the Dream Podcast with Curveball.
00:00:05.480 --> 00:00:29.033
If you believe you can achieve, Welcome to the Living the Dream with Curveball Podcast, a show where I interview guests that teach, motivate and inspire.
00:00:29.033 --> 00:00:52.030
Today, we're going to be talking about personal development, as I am joined by the creator of the I Am Mind Mapping System, john Diggs, and John has created this I Am Mind mapping system to help people become better and, you know, basically transform their lives.
00:00:52.030 --> 00:00:56.932
So we're going to be talking to him about this system and what it's all about and how it's helping people.
00:00:56.932 --> 00:00:59.173
So, john, thank you so much for joining me today.
00:00:59.935 --> 00:01:02.496
Hey, thank you very much for having me, Curtis I appreciate it.
00:01:03.136 --> 00:01:05.858
Why don't you start off by telling everybody a little bit about yourself?
00:01:06.677 --> 00:01:07.397
Yeah, sounds good.
00:01:07.397 --> 00:01:18.596
Well, john Diggs, d-i-g-g-s, born and raised in Pacoima, california, which is just in North Los Angeles, fell in love with the game of football early in life.
00:01:18.596 --> 00:01:24.793
That passion led me to play football in college at Washington State University.
00:01:24.793 --> 00:01:41.894
Go Cougs Got a chance to play several years of professional football before getting two screws put in my right knee, which ended that career, which was a little tough transition into the mortgage industry.
00:01:41.894 --> 00:02:13.373
Into the mortgage industry became the owner of one of the largest mortgage brokerages in all of Southern California, living the dream, actually making more money as a businessman than I did as a professional football player in the early 2000s, had all of the luxury lifestyle, if you will, the houses and cars and things of that nature, and life was great all the way up until the mortgage meltdown of 2007 and a great recession of 2008.
00:02:13.373 --> 00:02:17.025
Really was a body blow for me.
00:02:17.025 --> 00:02:19.551
It literally took everything from me.
00:02:19.551 --> 00:02:24.567
The recession, very hard times 2008, 2009,.
00:02:24.567 --> 00:02:29.555
Lost houses, cars, even lost my family in the process.
00:02:29.555 --> 00:02:53.729
I was basically forced to move in with my mom to rebuild myself and try to rebuild my life, and when I did that, I took with me to my mom's gym bag, a mountain bike and a big box that was full of motivational tapes and CDs and things that I've accumulated over the years.
00:02:53.729 --> 00:03:00.182
And did that because I knew I had to go back into that box to try to reset and rebuild my life.
00:03:00.182 --> 00:03:08.471
And there was a book in that box called the Mind Map Book by Tony Buzan, and don't remember buying it.
00:03:08.471 --> 00:03:38.104
But for whatever reason it resonated with me and I decided to mind map all of the contents that was in that box bro, rich, unlimited power, the power of now seven habits of highly effective people, pretty much all of the most known self-help books I had in that box and I spent three, four months, uh, mapping that out just to try to get some understanding.
00:03:38.104 --> 00:04:02.006
And that was my first introduction to mind mapping, the power of mind mapping, because that enabled me to really active learn, meaning that I was going through instead of just reading the books this time like I did the first time, and underlining, you know, things that may have stood out or highlighting certain things you know.
00:04:02.045 --> 00:04:05.670
With mind mapping it's it's a for those who aren't familiar with mind mapping.
00:04:05.670 --> 00:04:34.925
It's pretty, it's a for those who aren't familiar with mind mapping, it's pretty much just a visual information management tool, meaning that it will take everything that anything and everything that you're thinking about, and allow you to put it out in a map form on a paper or on a software, and doing this provides so much more clarity as far as what people are actually thinking, cause now you can actually see your thoughts, if you will, in a map form, and how things connect.
00:04:34.925 --> 00:04:37.310
And that's what I started doing.
00:04:37.310 --> 00:04:49.745
You know, I started seeing connections between what all of these authors and thought leaders were talking about and I took away two main principles from that process, curtis.
00:04:49.745 --> 00:05:06.312
The first was that you know from Tony Robbins that Wayne Dyer and Stephen Covey and Les Brown and all of those books that I was mind mapping I realized that they were basically just trying to get us to love, live our best life.
00:05:06.312 --> 00:05:10.389
Meaning that essentially, is the purpose of life is just to love it.
00:05:10.389 --> 00:05:21.713
You know, love every experience of life that you have, love every second you have of life, and they all had their strategies and perspectives and systems and philosophies on how to do it.
00:05:21.713 --> 00:05:29.749
But mind mapping, let me see that that was their overall connection that they had was trying to get people to love and live their best lives.
00:05:29.749 --> 00:05:39.221
Second thing I took from that is that in order for us to truly love and live our best life, we have to get very clear on who we are.
00:05:39.221 --> 00:05:42.646
You know, what's the most important to us in life?
00:05:42.646 --> 00:05:43.547
To love it.
00:05:44.687 --> 00:06:07.213
So, after I spent three, four months of mind mapping all those books, I started developing what is known as an I Am Mind Map today, because I started mind mapping who I am and what's most important to me on a deep level, on a surface level, not just my title of dad or my job a football player and things of that nature.
00:06:07.213 --> 00:06:14.454
It was like really what's most important to me as it relates to health, wealth, success and happiness.
00:06:14.454 --> 00:06:31.995
And that process transformed my life quickly, so much so that I, you know, I got so clear on who I am and what I wanted with my life that I went from being broke at my mom's house to making a good six-figure income in less than eight months.
00:06:31.995 --> 00:06:40.874
And it's all really due to how mind mapping allowed me to get clear on who I am and what I wanted with my life.
00:06:40.874 --> 00:06:52.071
And since 2010, 2009, when this was about, I've been living, you know, my best life in all intents and purposes.
00:06:52.314 --> 00:06:55.442
You know, I travel the world, I social dance with my kids.
00:06:55.442 --> 00:07:11.670
I pretty much do anything and everything that I want to do, and it's because of what mind got called and inspired to just start sharing the power of mind mapping with others in the world.
00:07:11.670 --> 00:07:16.122
Since then, I've written 10 books.
00:07:16.122 --> 00:07:19.014
I've become an international bestselling author.
00:07:19.014 --> 00:07:31.420
I actually did a TEDx talk, a TEDx that really kind of digs deeper into my story about this thing that I just highlighted, about how mind mapping came in and transformed my life.
00:07:31.420 --> 00:07:35.226
I have an online community.
00:07:35.226 --> 00:07:48.228
I coach and lead workshops and keynotes all over the world trying to show people how to use this, what I call the most powerful thinking tool in the universe, to love and live their best lives.
00:07:49.355 --> 00:07:49.516
Yeah.
00:07:49.516 --> 00:07:54.096
So before we get into that, you know kind of tell us how you say you play professional football.
00:07:54.096 --> 00:07:56.279
Did you start in what team?
00:07:57.442 --> 00:08:01.930
Yeah, I played with the then Houston Oilers back in 89.
00:08:01.930 --> 00:08:04.300
Then I played in with the Los Angeles Raiders.
00:08:04.300 --> 00:08:14.209
The last two years in Los Angeles Didn't really get a lot of playing time but I was under practice rosters and got checks.
00:08:14.209 --> 00:08:23.858
Then from there I went and played in Canada for Edmonton Eskimos and the Sacramento Gold Miners was my last team in 95.
00:08:23.858 --> 00:08:32.009
This was my last team in 95 when, back in those days when Canadian football was expanding teams down here to the United States.
00:08:41.576 --> 00:08:43.318
Ok, well, talk about how mind mapping enhances whole brain thinking.
00:08:43.318 --> 00:08:49.125
It does, because it is known that you know most of us have.
00:08:49.125 --> 00:08:53.171
You know we have left brain and right brain.
00:08:53.171 --> 00:08:58.988
You have the logical left side, which is the logical, structured side of it.
00:08:58.988 --> 00:09:08.136
Then you have a right side of our brain that's more creative and intuitive and, just like our right and left hands, most of us prefer to use either one side or the other.
00:09:08.136 --> 00:09:12.938
It's where you find more people that are more creative and more people that are more kind of analytical.
00:09:12.938 --> 00:09:31.489
Those are left brain, right brain kind of distinctions, and mind mapping actually stimulates both sides of your brain in that when you go to mind map you use your left side to analyze what keywords and phrases you want to add to your mind map in that structure.
00:09:31.489 --> 00:09:49.461
Then you use your right side of your brain to to determine what kind of color images, symbols that you may want to put on your mind map to have that topic stand out and be featured so you can remember and recall later that topic stand out and be featured so you can remember and recall later.
00:09:49.461 --> 00:09:52.390
So that's where mind mapping is known to really stimulate what is called whole brain learning.
00:09:52.390 --> 00:09:57.283
I mean whole brain thinking, because you're stimulating both sides of your brain.
00:09:58.005 --> 00:10:14.005
Then, when it comes to meaningful learning, mind mapping is powerful in that because of its connectivity, like I said, when I was mind mapping the contents of that box, I was able to see connections between things that I didn't see before.
00:10:14.187 --> 00:10:18.750
I saw connections between Tony Robbins and Wayne Dyer and things of that nature.
00:10:18.750 --> 00:10:27.287
And what mind mapping allows you to do is take new information that you're learning and connect it to stuff you already know.
00:10:27.287 --> 00:10:37.760
Which is the definition of meaningful learning is when you associate the new knowledge to your previous knowledge to make you really understand it.
00:10:37.760 --> 00:10:41.187
And mind mapping does an amazing job at doing that.
00:10:41.187 --> 00:10:51.844
Because, as you're mapping out certain things, you inevitably will ask yourself questions like how does it relate to my life and how can I implement this, how can I install this?
00:10:51.844 --> 00:10:54.583
So what does this really mean to me?
00:10:54.583 --> 00:11:04.769
And you go through you know your past experiences to associate that new knowledge with what you already learned, which is meaningful learning.
00:11:04.769 --> 00:11:10.220
And I like to say this you know traditional learning is like collecting dots.
00:11:10.220 --> 00:11:13.167
You know we're taught to memorize things.
00:11:13.167 --> 00:11:15.799
You know when we're students.
00:11:16.482 --> 00:11:24.263
you know we're really studying to try to memorize data, to actually pass an exam, if you will.
00:11:24.263 --> 00:11:30.524
They're collecting dots, is what I like to say, but mind mapping helps you connect dots.
00:11:30.524 --> 00:11:42.804
So not only are you learning and memorizing certain things, but you're seeing how it actually relates in a tangible form to make best use out of that new knowledge.
00:11:42.804 --> 00:11:44.629
That makes sense.
00:11:46.716 --> 00:11:48.942
Absolutely Well, let's talk about.
00:11:48.942 --> 00:11:58.441
You know, we all have challenges and we all seek to find clarity in our life, so talk about how mind mapping can assist us with that on a daily basis.
00:11:59.562 --> 00:12:01.628
Oh yeah, absolutely One of the tools.
00:12:01.628 --> 00:12:18.772
What I've learned is that mind mapping those who have heard of mind mapping traditionally use it in three ways, you know for brainstorming, note taking and project management.
00:12:18.772 --> 00:12:26.107
Most people in our country, the US, that use mind mapping use it in one of those three capacities either.
00:12:26.107 --> 00:12:31.086
In corporations pretty much all Fortune 500 companies are using mind mapping for brainstorming.
00:12:31.086 --> 00:12:53.610
Pretty much most of your Ivy League schools now are teaching their students how to notate using mind mapping because they're finding that students are their tests, their test scores are improving because it's easier for them to close their eyes and see where that information is on a mind map they created, versus a bullet point list that they may have done.
00:12:53.610 --> 00:12:55.937
And project management.
00:12:55.937 --> 00:13:06.630
What I found is that I'm the only one in the world right now that's promoting and teaching mind mapping as a personal development tool that can be used on a daily basis.
00:13:06.630 --> 00:13:15.296
As a personal development tool that can be used on a daily basis, and that's why I term my style of mind mapping mapineering, mapineering, engineering, beautiful mind maps to love life more essentially.
00:13:15.296 --> 00:13:26.924
And one of the big tools that I teach in mapineering is called a 5Ws and H mind map that people use on a daily and pretty much what that is.
00:13:26.924 --> 00:13:35.490
You know five W's and H's is great for problem solving, decision making, goal setting, visualization practices.
00:13:35.490 --> 00:13:58.744
And essentially what that looks like is, if you're dealing with a problem, you put the title of your problem in the center of a piece of paper whatever that you want to title that problem is and around that problem you want to put who, what, when, where, why and how, and each one of those are connected to the main topic, the main title of your problem.
00:13:58.744 --> 00:14:12.931
And now you just spend some time brainstorming and asking yourself thought-provoking questions about you know who's involved with this problem, who should be involved with this problem, who can help me with this problem?
00:14:12.931 --> 00:14:21.681
Then, after you spend time there brainstorming that, then you move to what you know what is actually this problem, what is occurring, what should be occurring?
00:14:21.681 --> 00:14:23.765
Then you move down to when.
00:14:23.765 --> 00:14:26.914
You know when is this problem happening, when should it be happening?
00:14:26.914 --> 00:14:29.120
When should I resolve this problem?
00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:31.104
Do you do the same thing for where?
00:14:31.104 --> 00:14:32.967
Do the same thing for why.
00:14:32.967 --> 00:14:35.000
You know why is this problem happening.
00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:36.884
You do the same thing for how?
00:14:36.965 --> 00:14:59.166
Just brainstorming, really asking yourself some serious, thought-provoking questions about who, what, where, when and why about a problem and and once you finish this exercise, you can now step back and look at your mind map that you created and you will see so many different perspectives of that problem that you didn't see before.
00:15:00.027 --> 00:15:25.663
That always, mr Jackson yes, always the solution to the problem reveals itself, because now you can see it from so many different perspectives in this 5Ws plus 1H mind map that you could not see when that problem was stuck in your mind and swirling in your mind and you're not seeing all of the key components, probably causing a bunch of stress and dis-ease.
00:15:25.743 --> 00:15:51.105
And that's one of the benefits of these five W's in each mind map templates, especially with problems, is when you go through this process, all of that negative energy that was surrounding the problem disappears, because now the problem is on that piece of paper and now it's not stuck inside of your mind just swirling around causing you a bunch of overwhelm and stress.
00:15:51.888 --> 00:16:00.708
Now you can kind of see all of the key components of the problem and again it reveals what your next best step should be to resolve that problem.
00:16:00.708 --> 00:16:15.326
That's just one tool of many that people can use on a daily basis, like mind maps that essentially can help people love and live their best life.
00:16:15.326 --> 00:16:18.509
You know versus you know.
00:16:18.509 --> 00:16:39.850
I see so many of us that are faced with challenging decisions challenging decisions, you know, and so many different things and they don't really have a tangible tool that's flexible enough that can help them really come to conclusions or make informed decisions with confidence.
00:16:39.850 --> 00:17:02.254
My mission for the last five or six years is intensely to share this tool with others, with hopes that they, with hopes that it will help people love and live their best life well, talk about the, the four anchors of of this system, that that you, you know that you discuss in your bio.
00:17:02.735 --> 00:17:04.159
Explain those four anchors.
00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:05.863
Yeah, the I am mind map.
00:17:05.863 --> 00:17:07.867
Yeah, see, when I like what?
00:17:07.867 --> 00:17:21.138
Like I was saying earlier, when I was going through that hardship at my mother's house and realizing that I needed to get clear with myself, you know, to put myself in the best position and transform and get love my life again.
00:17:21.138 --> 00:17:25.824
You know I was asking my question, my self-serious questions, like what truly is most important to me?
00:17:25.824 --> 00:17:26.714
You know what truly is most important to me?
00:17:26.714 --> 00:17:29.563
You know what is really most important to me.
00:17:29.563 --> 00:17:41.018
You know and I grappled with that for hours and days and weeks and I landed on that what's most important to me is my health, my health.
00:17:41.018 --> 00:17:42.883
There's nothing more important to me than my health.
00:17:42.883 --> 00:17:45.619
So that became the first anchor of my I Am Mind Map.
00:17:45.619 --> 00:17:48.609
Then I asked myself what is the next?
00:17:48.609 --> 00:17:50.455
You know what else is important to me?
00:17:50.455 --> 00:17:53.803
And I realized wealth came to my mind.
00:17:53.803 --> 00:17:55.586
You know I definitely want wealth.
00:17:55.626 --> 00:17:57.097
But then I started thinking about wealth.
00:17:57.097 --> 00:17:57.859
What does wealth mean?
00:17:57.859 --> 00:17:58.622
Is it just money?
00:17:58.622 --> 00:18:04.501
I said no, because I had money before and that didn't really help me much, you know.
00:18:04.501 --> 00:18:08.249
It made life easier, but it didn't ultimately mean happiness.
00:18:08.249 --> 00:18:11.244
So I realized that wealth was about abundance.
00:18:11.244 --> 00:18:14.214
That's what wealth means is an abundance of something.
00:18:14.214 --> 00:18:19.508
So I said, well, what would I want or need a lot of to love and live my best life?
00:18:19.508 --> 00:18:24.165
And I landed on I wanted positive emotions.
00:18:24.165 --> 00:18:26.738
I want a wealth of positive emotions.
00:18:26.738 --> 00:18:31.885
That's what I want of love, of enthusiasm, of optimism, of joy.
00:18:31.885 --> 00:18:32.707
That's what I want.
00:18:32.707 --> 00:18:35.211
That will definitely help me love my life.
00:18:35.211 --> 00:18:46.137
Knowledge you know, I've got that from thinking grow rich.
00:18:46.137 --> 00:18:48.500
As far as the importance of having skills, I want to have a bunch of skills.
00:18:48.500 --> 00:19:04.384
I feel that if I'm healthy and I'm feeling good, with positive emotions, and I have a bunch of great skills at something or I'm a subject matter expert of some topic, I will make a lot of money.
00:19:04.384 --> 00:19:05.748
That's just money's going to come.
00:19:06.015 --> 00:19:10.626
So once I went there then I started realizing, okay, that's what I want, a wealth of.
00:19:10.626 --> 00:19:15.565
And I said, well, what else would I want or need to have in my life to truly love my life?
00:19:15.565 --> 00:19:18.016
And I landed on success.
00:19:18.016 --> 00:19:23.546
I want to have some success, but success is so broad.
00:19:23.546 --> 00:19:36.124
And that's the one thing about mind mapping that helps you is that you can start broad and general like that, but by way of a mind map it will help you really drill down in the specifics of what that means.
00:19:36.124 --> 00:19:39.117
So when I looked at success, I was like, well, what does that mean?
00:19:39.117 --> 00:19:40.864
What do I want success in?
00:19:40.864 --> 00:19:52.957
And ultimately, again, after hours and days and weeks, I landed on I wanted to have successful relationships, wanted to have successful rewards and I wanted to have successful results.
00:19:52.957 --> 00:19:56.002
Good, I get that.
00:19:56.103 --> 00:19:57.645
So I said anything else?
00:19:57.645 --> 00:19:59.469
I said I've got to have happiness.
00:19:59.469 --> 00:20:01.739
I don't want all of that stuff without happiness.
00:20:01.739 --> 00:20:06.895
So happiness became my fourth anchor on my I Am my Map.
00:20:06.895 --> 00:20:11.968
Then I asked myself that same question you know, what does happiness mean to me?
00:20:11.968 --> 00:20:12.307
Really?
00:20:12.307 --> 00:20:14.778
You know what needs to happen for me to be happy.
00:20:15.942 --> 00:20:23.222
And as I, you know, again, just really gave it some serious thought and very profound question I was asking myself.
00:20:23.222 --> 00:20:35.720
I came to understand that for me to be happy, I have to be blessed for my past, the goods and the bad things that happened in my past, and when I think about them I need to feel blessed for them.
00:20:35.720 --> 00:20:43.503
And I need to feel grateful for my future, the goods and the bads that's going to come to me in my future.
00:20:43.503 --> 00:20:57.409
And I need to have both of those feelings in the present moment now, meaning that if I think about my past and I feel blessed, think about my future and I feel grateful, and I do that in the present moment, right now.
00:20:57.409 --> 00:20:59.317
Yeah, I would be happy.
00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:30.435
So those basically shaped out to be the foundational anchors of what is now known as an I am mind map, and this is what I pretty much teach and train and coach people to walk through this process, to show them you know what you know, or at least get them to create their own I am mind map, to see, yeah, what does health mean to you, you know, what does wealth mean to you, what does success mean to you, what does happiness mean to you?
00:21:30.435 --> 00:21:45.996
And once we actually articulate that on their mind map, then we go to the next level of prioritizing things they put on their mind map and start to figure out ways to take action on a daily to actually experience those things on their mind map.
00:21:45.996 --> 00:21:59.258
Then, you know, we go as far as even recording themselves speaking their I am mind map that they can listen to in their visualization and meditation and imagination practices.
00:21:59.258 --> 00:22:03.720
And, yeah, it's been going amazing.
00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:05.240
You know I wrote a book on this.
00:22:05.240 --> 00:22:11.384
I have some online courses that walk people through it.
00:22:11.384 --> 00:22:27.133
I do keynote talks and workshops and even doing a lot more one-on-one coaching where people are just like, look, I need help now with creating this, because I see the power of getting clear on who I am.
00:22:27.173 --> 00:22:46.470
You know many of us, you know, we think we know who we are, but many of us never really just consciously sat down and decided you know, this is who I am, this is who I intend to be, this is who I need to be, to do and have all I want to do to love.
00:22:46.470 --> 00:22:49.638
My experience of life and that's what I Am.
00:22:49.638 --> 00:22:52.605
My Map comes in is helps people.
00:22:52.605 --> 00:23:07.171
I mean I've worked with, you know, young students in high school and I work with CEOs and of big corporations and they, all the same, just appreciate the fact of being able to see.
00:23:07.171 --> 00:23:12.346
You know their core values, their beliefs and everything that's most important to them.
00:23:12.346 --> 00:23:15.883
You know one snapshot, you know one piece of paper.
00:23:15.883 --> 00:23:27.770
They see all of the key components of their life and it empowers them to see areas that they may have been neglecting, powers them to see areas that they may have been neglecting.
00:23:27.770 --> 00:23:29.593
Powers them young students.
00:23:29.593 --> 00:23:39.843
It gives young people the personal power to withstand peer pressure or to make better decisions that are more in alignment with who they intend to be versus.
00:23:40.703 --> 00:24:02.143
You know most of us as young, you know we just do a whole bunch of knucklehead stuff, you know, know, because we're not really clear who we are, what we're trying to do and be in our lives, and these I, this I am, my map process is really causing a lot of great positive change in in people's lives, which you know I'm truly blessed and grateful for that.
00:24:02.143 --> 00:24:09.839
You know, this is my divine mission and passion to share this with everyone and with that man.
00:24:09.839 --> 00:24:18.368
Thank you so much for having me on your show and I'm hopeful that my message will add value and be useful for for you and your audience.
00:24:18.816 --> 00:24:25.269
Thank you for taking the time to come on, and I'm sure this will be extremely valuable to my listeners.
00:24:25.269 --> 00:24:34.040
Tell us about any upcoming projects that you're working on or current projects that you're working on that listeners need to be aware of.
00:24:34.260 --> 00:24:38.788
Oh yeah, I'm really excited about my latest book out.
00:24:38.788 --> 00:24:40.317
It's called Big Play Power.
00:24:40.317 --> 00:25:08.190
It's essentially where I'm showing student athletes primarily at this point football playing student athletes how to use mind maps to get real clear on the biggest play they can make playing the game of football, the best game they can have the best season they can have and I also share with them, you know, in that big play power system on how they can be the best student and the best human they can be.
00:25:09.135 --> 00:25:33.239
And at the end of that course or session, you know, my students are coming out with like 18 different mind maps that are covering anything from pre-game function to get their mind right before the game function, to get their mind right before the game, to post-game activities on how to properly use a mind map to debrief your game that you just played, learn from things that you just played, you know, on the game you just played.
00:25:33.298 --> 00:25:36.424
So Big Play Power is very exciting.
00:25:36.424 --> 00:26:19.048
You know I'm speaking to local high schools here in Phoenix, where I'm at now, and starting to speak to student athletes at Arizona State University, washington State University, teaming up with some former NFL players to speak to at their camps, to not just introduce mind mapping and mapping to these players but hopefully give them a tool that they can use to really maximize their opportunities as football players, but also a tool that they can use for the rest of their lives to, you know, maximize all of the opportunities that's going to come to them as young men and adults to help them love and live their best life.
00:26:19.048 --> 00:26:21.317
Big play power.
00:26:23.041 --> 00:26:28.284
All right, sounds like you got a lot going on, and so people can keep up with everything that you got going on.

00:27:16.439 --> 00:27:17.845

00:27:17.845 --> 00:27:19.771
Thank you so much, man.
00:27:19.771 --> 00:27:20.836
This was super cool.
00:27:22.359 --> 00:27:23.041
Absolutely.
00:27:23.082 --> 00:27:36.294
We'll close this out with some final thoughts, maybe if there was something I forgot to talk about that you would like to touch on, or any final thoughts you have for the listeners.
00:27:36.294 --> 00:27:42.695
Oh man, it's.
00:27:42.695 --> 00:27:48.901
The final thought I would say is is is please just take a moment to build your own I am my map, because it will affect every area of your life, now and in the future.
00:27:48.901 --> 00:27:56.660
That would be the one thing I would say If you could take one thing away from any of my share today.
00:27:56.660 --> 00:28:15.832
That would be it is do what you need to do to at least just get that I am mind map done, because it will empower you in ways that you can't imagine right now to really help you do some extraordinary things and things that you probably don't think you could do.
00:28:15.832 --> 00:28:27.790
And I Am Mind Map will give you the clarity and the system and the steps and the strategy and the roadmap to actually start achieving a lot of your goals and realizing your dreams.
00:28:30.576 --> 00:28:30.916
All right.
