This song is based on Robert Kiyosaki's great Cashflow Quadrant book and financial freedom system.

Ego Blinds You to Feedback and Reality When ego runs the show, you stop listening — to your team, your customers, and the market. You believe you're always right, which creates blind spots.

Key Points in this Podcast
1. Practice Conscious Language
Action: Pay close attention to the words you use when talking to yourself and others. Replace negative self-talk like “I’m tired” or “I’m depressed” with more empowering alternatives such as “I’m recharging” or “I’m working through challenges.”
2. Speak Gratitude Daily
Action: Begin and end each day by saying out loud at least three things you're grateful for. This simple ritual rewires the brain for positivity and appreciation.
3. Affirm Positive Identity
Action: Use daily affirmations that align with your goals and well-being (e.g., “I am thriving,” “I am strong,” “I am full of purpose”). Speak them with belief and emotion to shape your mindset.
4. Interrupt Negative Thought Loops
Action: When you catch yourself speaking or thinking in a way that drains your energy, pause and reframe it immediately. For example, change “I can’t do this” to “I’m learning how to do this.”
5. Influence Others with Uplifting Words
Action: Make it a habit to uplift others with your speech. Positive words not only shape your own reality—they ripple out and influence the energy of those around you.
