How to Think at a Higher Level and Unlock Your Brain on Demand
Welcome to another episode of The HERO Show. I am your host Richard Matthews, (@AKATheAlchemist) and you are listening to episode 187 with Jarrod Haning — How to Think at a Higher Level and Unlock Your Brain on Demand.
Jarrod Haning is the founder of MindsetPerformance.co where he shows people how to think at a higher level about business success. After thinking at a higher level about what is possible in their businesses, Jarrod’s clients are surprised to learn that their time is easily worth more than $1,000 an hour.
This just shows that when a mindset levels up, it takes everything else with it to higher levels.
Here’s just a taste of what we talked about today:
Working as a Mindset Trainer through a Nobel Nominated Process
Jarrod Haning works as a mindset trainer for business owners. He teaches them to think at a higher level. Jarrod takes his clients through the Mindset Gym where they do Mindset Push Ups. This method helps rewire how the brain solves problems.
But how exactly did Jarrod get into Mindset Training?
Jarrod comes from a very entrepreneurial family and entrepreneurship has been coursing through his blood as he was growing up.
But Jarrod’s background is classical music. He spent 20 years in classical music and was even the principal violist with the South Carolina Philharmonic. Jarrod loved it but after 20 years, he felt that life was calling him to do something different. He wanted to continue to grow and level up as a person.
The common ground between classical music and Jarrod as a Mindset Gym trainer is how both involve more parts of the brain than any other activity. This is very true anytime we engage with music, whether we’re just clapping our hands to the radio or singing in the shower.
Music and Business
We talked about a very interesting correlation between music and business.
Marketing is about getting people to change their actions — hopefully for their own betterment. Entrepreneurs have the solution to people’s problems. When we put the right marketing in front of the right people, we help solve their problems and improve their lives.
An interesting thing about marketing is that there are a lot of frameworks built on basic human psychology. Just like reading notes on sheet music, you can do the right things if you play in the right order. By hitting the right notes, success is achieved.
There’s a difference between musicians who freely create music. One is playing notes on a sheet while the other makes music. The same thing applies to business, entrepreneurship, and copywriting. We can hit the right things but we have to figure out how the space in between the notes give texture, contrast, and life to our businesses.
Other Topics We Covered on the Show:
- We continued talking about an interesting correlation between music and business — how practicing is a totally different state from performing. [00:16:42]
- Next, Jarrod described how he teaches people to access different parts of their brain on demand. [00:23:22]
- Then, we dove into Jarrod’s superpower — a way of thinking, a way of viewing the world — it’s an ability to communicate with people to make difference. [00:25:01]
- Teaching what you are doing. [00:28:08]
- Relating back to Jarrod’s superpowers, we studied how it plays into the way Jarrod helps people look at the world differently. [00:36:31]
- We also talked about the difference between head knowledge and heart knowledge. A person might know a lot of things but until they have experienced something, only then are they changed at a core level. [00:48:04]
- And then, we covered the flip side of Jarrod’s superpower — his fatal flaw. How did he work on overcoming these struggles? [00:56:24]
- Next, Jarrod shares more details on what he does with clients during Mindset Push Ups. [01:08:06]
- Jarrod also talks about the common enemy among clients that he constantly fights against. And that thing is how sometimes, people want and need more. [01:20:48]
- Then, Jarrod talks about the principles of planning. [01:27:57]
- Next, we covered one of the guiding principles that Jarrod lives by — inspiring self-expression. [01:45:45]
