Inside the Mind of the Elite

33 replies
I've been studying ruthlessly for years now, applying what I've learned into my life, and created some massive power in my world. Of course, I've read books like Think and Grow Rich, and Success through a Positive Mental Attitude, but I've also been in books like the Success Principles by Jack Canfield and Get the Life you Want (NLP, Richard Bandler). Having learned an abundance of power from these books, and applied them into my life, I learned that there are some consistencies all across the board, in people who just "know how to be great."

The Elite to me, is a breed of human, that no matter the conditions of the environment, the conditions of the economy, they always find a way to come out on top. They're everywhere if we just look for them. They're in the personal development section of the book store, they're in YOUR OWN BRAIN when you never relent and you somehow make things happen, and they're all around you, even in everyday people. I've found that most people have extraordinary insights and ideas, but programming that doesn't allow them to put it into action into the world. The point is, with this concept of the "Elite," you can learn a lot if you're looking for what they're doing. I'm a firm believer in modeling, or just examining the actions of other people that are successful in a specific thing, and doing the same kinds of things. The people that we can model, are all over the place, if we make it a habit of looking for them!

Getting inside the mind of the elite, I believe, is how we can embody the principles and the strategies to actually become that! Pull from everyone! Pull from yourself, pull from books, pull from psychology, pull from NLP, pull from great entrepreneurs, pull from the titans in internet marketing and any other source you can actively engage! Thanks for reading.

      Very nice post. Your thoughts are right on and you expressed them quite eloquently! I firmly believe that there is no need to reinvent the wheel. Just follow in the footsteps of those who are successful and worthy of emulation.

      We could live a hundred lifetimes and there would still be much room for self improvement. We will never know it all so we have to always be careful not to project that we do. Nobody likes someone who thinks they have all the answers.

      The greatest joy in this life is the ability to help others with the knowledge you have acquired. Do this unselfishly and from the heart and Karma will surely reward you many times over. The world is full of self-centered, greedy takers. What we need is a lot more givers!

      Give of yourself with no expectation of reward and you will invariably be compensated in ways you could never imagine. That just seems to be the way the universe works.

      -Bill

        Nice Post! I agree with all of you especially Bill. There's always going to be room for growth in everyone and once I understood that principle and included the fact that "The Elite" individuals always helped others to be successful!
        Anyone who applies those two principles are well on there way to be "Elite"!

          I think helping someone else should always be the principle of the Elite to help show someone else the way, for in the past, the Elite or those in power always kept such life-transforming secrets from the masses and kept them enslaved to working factories and other menial jobs so that people stayed on the treadmill of life never getting anywhere. Today's Elite understand the power of sharing and that is a new update of the Elite that I love. Yours, Jae Smith

    You're right. I think that many people have the perception that the Elite are smarter than they are...when in fact it is just a matter of consistent focus.

      I used to think like this... but lately I have come to realize a couple of things.
      Many of those in the elite are there by bloodline and education. They are not particularly clever, they just have space to grow, which many of the others don´t.

      Have you seen how the kids are educated? you would be surprised. Kids don´t watch tv or play videogames, they eat only organic foods from selected places, many are home-schooled.

      while our kids ride bikes or play in the computer, they are sitting in board meetings listening. Once they are old enough they start working in different stages of the business to gain street knowledge and specifically, a hands on approach on dealing with "normal" people.

      there are also other elements, like networks and favors. Coming from middle class, I only needed to loan half of the value of my first place, my dad and my fiance´s father at that moment helped us with the rest. Well... take that in a 1,000,000 scale for these guys.

      There are though some self made guys and gals i respect a lot, like Tonny Robins, Wayne Dyer, etc... you can agree with the content or the form of their messages, but they made it by themselves following their own intuition. They made for themselves a comfortable life, and helped with opening people to awareness. These are the guys I´m interested in learning about.

      there is one guy that was one of the boys and changed sides. He brings a somewhat distressing scenario, but still interesting

        if all society agreed it is bad, we would live in a cooperative world where each one of us is supported by all others to experience the uniqueness and exhilaration we came to experience to this plane of existence, instead of aggressively run after meaningless color mirrors.

          That's an interesting point Sandra. If "greed" is the way to go, I'd rather be poor. (And mow the grass like Forest Gump.)

          If more people thought like you, society would probably be a better place.

            hehe That whether you fit in or become a beggar is part of the fallacy. Think of it as a game, this is a monopoly game... and in any game you have actually 2 choices: you can choose to play ( and win or lose) or not play at all.

            you CAN choose a different game to play, too. It is just a matter of finding other people who want to play with you.

            there is actually a lot of people who "feel" like me. Only that we don´t appear in the news.

              this post has wandered a little off topic .. but i do agree that greed is good.. 99 percent of advancement in our society are made by people trying to make a profit. The poor in western society seem more greedy than the rich. They want someone else to provide for them while they do nothing. then they want more and more provided to them for no effort.

              I would rather have more poor people go out there and be greedy trying to make money lawfully . than be greedy expecting to be provided for.

              no emotions are bad emotions . it is when they dominate and distort someone that they become bad. the bad emotions are usually what causes people to be driven.. the good emotions are what cause a lot of people to be passive and stay where they are. that is how the emotions have been piled.

                I will add seperatly from my other post. that our world is messed up right now. Greed has been distorted and to many people want to take without adding something in return.. that is negative greed, Positive greed is you wanting to get paid a lot for adding something to this world.

                You can help the poor and make a lot of money doing it.

                  That's correct Odahh.

                  Greed can be considered a good thing. However most people understand the defintion as being something like:

                  "Greed is an excessive desire to possess wealth or goods with the intention to keep it for one's self. Greed - like lust and gluttony - is a sin of excess."

                    That is the problem the words we use and the definitions they have has been set up to put us at internal conflict. Most of our self talk is negative. and most of our language also has negative meaning to our words. It is truly interesting.

                to want to make a profit and greed are not necessarily connected. You can make a profit and have a retribution for your time and expertise in different forms, without falling for the ruthless competition game. As each person is unique, the solutions for problems they provide are also unique and that single fact puts competition aside.

                greed is connected with wanting to rip the benefits that actually should belong to others, its implementation implies stealing in its purest form.

                and greed is not related with being rich or poor, but with not wanting to do the job to self develop

                and about greed moving the world... maybe, but the web? nope! 99% of the platforms where the sites reside are open source. Many of the books around are public domain, and 99% of the information distributed is free to access.

                sorry, disagree. Coming from research I have a complete different experience, once the lil bug of exploration and adventure hits you, you never stop.

                  Bad emotions have a place and a purpose. They are their when you are of your path. the problem is once most people start feeling bad they hit a cycle that perpetuates bad feelings.

                  hmm did i just agree with you in a way?

                  example say your feeling good then something happen to push you in a temporary bad feeling stat .. instead of going right back to feeling good most people indulge and reinforce the bad feeling then perpetuate it. But the knowledge comming back to humanity is teaching people . the better way is to reach for the good feelings.

                  wow are we veering off the topic hehe

    I agree. You make a lot of valid points. One problem people will often face is that they fail to adapt.

    let me explain. You have made several comments above which are great keys for success. The problem is people will shrug them off and say " Pfft... I know that " but yet they are still stuck in the same spot they were years ago.

    I want to simplify your whole post into a few words:

    You need to understand how people work, react, socialize, and understand their habits. Once you begin to understand some of those habits you can control any situation and have success beyond your wildest dreams.

    If you fail to understand "BOTH" view points you will always be on the losing end. You need to look at whatever it is your doing, from every angle and make the best decision you can based on those facts.

    Emotionless - is what you need to be

    ( so much for me simpling your post...lol )




    Thanks for sharing tha tbit of knowledge. I hope others will take away from it.

    Really liked your post, you bring up a lot of good points. As for the rich owning anyone anything? I don’t believe that. I’m not wealth, but NO ONE owes me anything! If they would like to give advice I’d be happy to learn from them.

    Too many people think they are owed something these days. My grandparents worked hard and made a good living for themselves and saved. No one gave them anything.

    Of course people have helped me along the way, parents, grandparents, family, friends, teachers, and others I’ve never met. I’m hungry for knowledge and read whatever I can get my hands one. But no one OWES me anything.

    I believe it’s nice and right to help but that is a person’s right to give or not. I believe by giving and helping others you in turn help yourself and it makes for a better place to live.

    I really think you need to edit it to elite performers. when you say elite i think about all the people who see themselves as better than the masses. who see themselves as a sort of privleged ruling class.

    But elite performers are different. they have found not only the place where they excel. but they have also found away to produce 20-100 maybe 1000 times or more than the average performer.

    The real difference between the two is the elite performers always push themselves to a higher level. The average performer gets to a certain point and treads water or coasts.
