Tony delves into the three key components to creating a breakthrough: strategy, story and state
[24:50] The most important element is the right state
[25:00] Your state determines how you think and feel
[26:30] If you do what you did in the beginning of the relationship, there won’t be an end
[27:20] Story will sustain the problem, state can change everything the fastest
[27:40] Strategy has the power to take a business to an entirely new level of profitability
[28:30] Ignorance can be poverty and pain
[28:45] Story and state allow you to apply the strategy
[29:00] Decisions, not conditions determine your destiny
[30:20] Your first decision is what to focus on
[30:30] Whatever you focus on is what you’re going to feel
[30:55] Most of us let our surroundings control our focus
[33:00] Everyone has a pattern of focus
[33:10] Do you tend to focus on what you can control or what you can’t control?
[33:40] Do you tend to focus on what you have or what’s missing?
[34:30] Do you tend to focus on the future, the present or the past?
[35:50] Become aware of your patterns so you can make the shift
[36:10] Once you focus on something, give it a meaning
[36:20] Is your issue a problem or a challenge, or even a gift?
