Most entrepreneurs are drowning in strategies, hacks, and shiny new tools—chasing “more” in hopes of reaching the next level. But what if the secret to real, sustainable growth isn’t more… But deeper?

In this episode of The Mind of George Show, I dive into one of the most important mindset shifts in business: mastery comes from the same reps at different depths. You’ll learn why success isn’t about what’s next—it’s about going deeper with what already works, and why simplicity is your most powerful lever for long-term success.

This is part of a keynote series I gave to some of the world’s highest-performing poker players—but it’s just as relevant if you’re an entrepreneur, leader, or high-achiever navigating burnout, plateaus, or growth that still doesn’t feel like enough.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• Why chasing new strategies sabotages long-term growth
• The “shiny object” trap and how to avoid it
• How to uncover the reps that actually move the needle
• Why complexity is killing your business progress
• A simple reflection practice to find where you’ve drifted
• The link between simplicity, peace, and peak performance

Key Takeaways
✔️Mastery doesn’t come from novelty—it comes from depth.
✔️Success is simple—because it can be scheduled.
✔️Complexity is often just disguised avoidance.
✔️Simplicity creates clarity. Clarity creates results.
✔️You’re not behind—you’re just stuck in the shallow end of your own genius.
✔️Find the reps that work. Do them better. That’s the game.

What if you could build real wealth—without sacrificing your time, your energy, or your peace?

In this game-changing episode of The Mind of George Show, I sit down with Chris Miles, founder of Money Ripples and cash flow strategist for entrepreneurs and high-performers who want to achieve financial freedom fast—without grinding themselves into the ground.

Chris shares the real reason most people never build wealth (even if they make good money), how to escape the “accumulation trap,” and why financial freedom has less to do with income and more to do with control.

This episode is packed with truth bombs, mindset shifts, and practical steps to help you stop working for money—and make your money start working for you.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• The biggest myth about financial freedom (and what it actually means)
• Why the “accumulation model” is broken—and what to do instead
• How to create cash flow from your current assets
• How to get out of the financial hamster wheel
• The difference between passive income and leveraged income
• How to design a life of freedom before you hit your “number”

Key Takeaways
✔️Financial freedom isn’t about saving more—it’s about creating better cash flow.
✔️Most people don’t realize they’re playing the wrong money game.
✔️You don’t need to retire—you need your income to be passive.
✔️If you don’t control your time, you don’t control your life.
✔️Invest in things you understand, that cash flow now, and are in your control.
✔️You don’t need a million dollars—you need a different strategy.

What if your biggest problem isn’t the situation itself—but the story you’re telling yourself about it?

In this powerful solo episode, I reveal the single mindset shift that transformed how I run my life and business: understanding that your lens is your leverage. I break down how the way you see a problem determines whether it becomes a breakdown… or a breakthrough.

Whether you’re launching a product, navigating tough client calls, or just stuck in a negative spiral, this episode will give you the framework and clarity to change your perspective and change your results.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• The difference between breakdown and breakthrough (and how to shift between them)
• The 4-part perspective framework to regain clarity and control
• Why your business results reflect your mental lenses
• How to apply this mindset shift to launches, team issues, and tough decisions
• Why future-casting and coaching accelerate your perspective training
• How to pause reactive spirals and turn them into strategic moves

Key Takeaways
✔️The problem is rarely the problem—it’s how you see it.
✔️Event → Lens → Response → Result is the formula for personal power.
✔️Disempowering stories lead to disempowering actions—and poor outcomes.
✔️You can’t control what happens, but you can control your lens.
✔️Changing your lens changes your inputs—and that changes your identity.
✔️Perspective is the gateway to progress. Choose it wisely.
