91 - How to Make 7-Figures Writing & Inspire the World (Benjamin Hardy Interview)

Author: Michael Leonard: Copywriter & Freelance Writing Coach May 22, 2020 Duration: 50:24

In this interview I talk with Dr. Benjamin Hardy, author of the new book coming out soon 'Personality Isn't Permanent' and my personal writing mentor. 

When the Why is Strong Enough, You'll Figure out the How

In this interview, Benjamin takes us back to the beginning of his writing journey and the steps he took to become a successful writer. In this interview we talk about:

  • Why Setting Specific Goals Gives Your Brain Something to Actively Focus On
  • How Results Over Process Lead to Success
  • Why a Morning and Evening Routine Build Confidence
  • How Tangible Change Can Take Place in 2 – 3 Years, if You're Consistently Focused On Your Goal
  • Why Personality Tests Give You a Very Limited View of Yourself
  • Why Context is an Important to Apply Not Only to Your Former Self, but for Every Situation You Encounter
  • Why You Need to Shift to Looking at Your Past as 'How Can it Serve Me Moving Forward' vs. How Does My Past Limit Me

The Four Levers of Personality from 'Personality Isn't Permanent'

In his new book, Dr. Benjamin Hardy, debunks the pervasive myths and fascination by pop culture regarding personality tests. Instead he focuses on science-based strategies for reframing past memories, becoming the scribe of your identity narrative, upgrading your subconscious, and redesigning your environment.

This includes going into detail the four levers of personality and how they shape who you are:

1.  Trauma

2. Identity narrative.

3. Subconscious

4. Environment

This book will change how you think about yourself and inspire you to be intentional about change. You an pre-order your copy of Personality Isn't Permanent here.
