In this Thanksgiving week edition of Monday Morning Pep Talk, I’m diving into one of the most transformative topics: gratitude. For over a decade, I’ve anchored my mindset around a simple affirmation that begins with, “I am so happy and grateful...” This practice has become a cornerstone of my success and ability to navigate both challenges and opportunities. In today’s episode, I’ll share the story behind my personal affirmation, why I started using it, and how it’s shaped my mindset and outcomes. Before we dive in, let me remind you of my professional purpose: to help you, the full-service, full-fee advisor, optimize your productivity and grow into the best version of yourself. Why?

As you listen, imagine we’re having a one-on-one coaching session, elevating your approach to life and business. The Story Behind My Affirmation In 2010, during a challenging professional season, I realized I needed to sustain a positive mindset to succeed. I turned to Bob Proctor (You Were Born Rich) and John Assaraf (The Answer), who taught me the power of affirmations—intentional declarations that reprogram your subconscious mind and align your thoughts with your goals. That’s when I created my affirmation, which I’ve repeated tens of thousands of times since. It’s been my guide, grounding prayer, and battle cry through every season of life. Breaking Down the Affirmation Here’s how my affirmation is structured: “I AM” A declaration of identity and intention. “So Happy and Grateful” Reinforces positivity and abundance. “Money, Success, and Introductions Flow to Me” Focuses on meaningful connections and personal fulfillment. “In Ever-Increasing Quantities” Acknowledges the compounding effect of consistent effort. “From a Myriad of Different Sources” Emphasizes openness to opportunities from all directions. “For the Betterment of All Those Involved” Grounds success in shared growth and mutual value. “My Life is Perfect” A reframing of perfection as perspective. “Every Day, in Every Way, I’m Getting Better and Better” Inspired by James Clear, this reflects a commitment to continuous improvement. The Power of Gratitude As we approach Thanksgiving, this affirmation reminds me of gratitude’s ability to shift our mindset and attract opportunities. When we consistently maintain a frequency of positivity above 51%, we create alignment for success in life and business. Happy Thanksgiving, and thank you for being part of this journey. Let’s continue building lives and businesses that are both predictable and enjoyable.
