Manage episode 499782220 series 3667441
What if everything in your life - your success, your relationships, your outcomes - all started with one thing: what you think about? In this transformative episode, John and Julie Knowlton share how changing your default mental settings can revolutionize every area of your life.
John's journey from building a $1 billion wealth management business to retiring at 51 wasn't just about business strategy - it was about thinking strategy. As a former jail chaplain, he witnessed firsthand how destructive thinking patterns can derail lives. As an entrepreneur, he discovered how focusing on creating value for others while maintaining the right mental framework leads to extraordinary results.
In this candid conversation, John and Julie reveal:
- How to identify and change your mental "default settings"
- The difference between your circle of influence and circle of concern - and why it matters for your anxiety levels
- Why "the blessing is in the step" when it comes to taking leaps of faith
- How they've maintained a thriving 25-year marriage while building businesses and raising four children
- The principle of "only doing what only you can do" to maximize your unique value
- How to handle the tension between seeing your vision and waiting for it to manifest
Julie shares the raw reality of being an entrepreneur's spouse, a mother of four children, two of whom were adopted, their navigations during intense challenging seasons, and how they've learned to navigate taking on too much in their current business venture, Abundant Thought Revolution.
Whether you're an entrepreneur, a spouse supporting big dreams, or someone ready to upgrade your thinking patterns, this episode offers practical wisdom rooted in biblical principles and real-world experience.
