“Achievement isn’t your problem. Lots of people can do things and thinking isn’t necessarily a problem. You start with alignment and abundance is an outcome.”

How To Reprogram Your Mind For Abundance & Wealth

Brendon will be on stage at The Summit of Greatness, happening September 12 & 13! Get your ticket today!

Brendon Burchard shares the raw, vulnerable moment that changed everything: seeing the woman he loved sleeping under the weight of his unpaid bills in a tiny San Francisco apartment just miles from where this conversation was recorded. That night of reckoning sparked an 18-day writing marathon that launched his empire of bestselling books and transformed him from a broke, aspiring writer into a coach for billionaires. This isn’t just another success story. It’s a masterclass in shifting from survival thinking to abundance creation, revealing why most people stay stuck trying to “fill a void” instead of building something greater. You’ll discover the specific mental patterns that keep you small and the breakthrough moment when fighting for someone beyond yourself becomes the catalyst for everything.

"Doubt's not the problem. Stopping is. A lot of people have doubt, but they keep going. If doubt becomes a signal to stop, you'll always fail. If doubt is a signal to learn and to try again, now you're in the scientific method and you win."
