In this episode, Kris Sykes and Brian Goldsack talk about the middle class mindset, a concept introduced a couple of episodes back by Tyzer Evans. Brain and Kris attempt to define what the middle class mindset is, and what it can entail to society, particularly to entrepreneurs.

Success is definitely how you define it yourself, and getting to a state of comfort is an achievement unto itself. However, for the people who desire more and feel that they have the potential for greatness, comfort and ease can lull them into complacency. Brian and Kris also talk about Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, and what it means to achieve self actualization, and why the way to achieving one’s true potential is never a straight and safe road.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Don't yuck on somebody's yum
  • Comfort can lull you to complacency
  • Ease is a greater threat to progress than hardship
  • Revisiting Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
  • What is self actualization?
  • Defining desire and potential
  • It all starts in your mind
  • Desire does not necessarily induce action
  • Going against the easy route is against human nature
  • Producer vs Consumer mindset

QUOTES

Brian: "I'm trying to be careful to not necessarily portray the middle class mindset as a bad mindset. Because there are some people that, let's face it, not everybody wants to be the world's next top entrepreneur. Not everybody wants to create the next tech startup or the next big nonprofit. If you're coming from a bad situation, getting to middle class might be a huge accomplishment on your part."

Kris: "You can ask everybody you know, are you as smart as you can become? No. Are you in the best shape of your life? No. Are you efficient with your time? No. Not saying most of you haven't figured it out, but what I'm saying is, there is always something you can be better at. Nobody gets to a point and just say, I'm cool with it because those same people who say yea, I'm content, there's something in their lives that can be improved. Now they have to have the desire to improve."

Kris: "People talk about the fear of failure all the time, but rarely do people talk about fear of success. And understanding what a self sabotaging trait is."

Kris: "It all starts in the mind, and we have to figure out what kind of mental blockage that you have if your desire is to be successful. What mental blockage do you have that prevents you from doing the things that you know you need to do?"

Brian: "I don't think desire is enough. I think that perhaps, action is more useful than desire. I mean, I can desire to be the president of the United States right now. Like, the president can do something right now that I view as bad policy, and I 'd go, Oh my god, if I were the damn president of the United States, I wouldn't have done that. And so in that moment, I desired to be the president, in theory. And if somebody said, hey Brian -- you know, a little angel popped out and said, hey Brian, I heard your wish, you want to be president tomorrow? Oh, you will be the president tomorrow. And then I'll go, excuse me, what exactly, what does that entail? Oh, foreign policy, and budget, and constantly almost getting assassinated. Then I'd go, yeah desire's gone."

Kris: "When we're telling people to achieve more or to achieve their ultimate self at the top of the pyramid from Maslow, we're telling people to go against human nature."

Brian: "C.S. Lewis then said, since we're the highest being on Earth, if we desire to hit a different level, we have to go beyond ourselves to elevate to that next level."
