“I work on being the example on a personal level of all the things I want to see change in the world.”
In short: Dr Joe Dispenza is a New York Times best-selling author, researcher, lecturer and corporate consultant. In this Success Secrets clip, recorded in 2018, he tells Brian Rose how he stays excited about his work, why he gets up at 4:30 every morning and how he divides his life into three arenas.
Brian asks what Joe does each day to stay as energised as he is, given that running workshops and flying around the world is no small task.
Joe answers with a clear structure: a sacred personal life, the leadership of his companies and the stage, plus a morning routine that he protects from any interruption.
Key takeaways
- Live in three arenas. Joe separates his personal life, his role as CEO of his companies and his work on stage, and gives each its own energy.
- Protect your personal life. He keeps his family, close friends and inner work “very, very sacred.”
- Lead from the road. He runs his team largely while travelling, nourishing and listening to his staff and trying to lead by example.
- Witnessing transformation fuels him. He says watching people change at week-long events, with team leaders in tears at the end, is unlike anything else.
- Start at 4:30am. His early morning hours are uninterrupted time to connect, which he describes as a love affair with the divine.
- Balance three types of stress. He believes in physical, chemical and emotional balance, and works on all three through exercise and eating as well as he can.
Three arenas of life
Joe said he lives in three arenas. The first is his personal life, where he is passionate about learning and inner work and values his family and close friends. The second is his role as the leader of two companies (it used to be three), which means keeping a team excited and focused and coaching outcomes, often from the road.
The third is the stage, which he said he loves most. He described the end of the week-long events, when team leaders he has selected cannot hold back tears at what they have witnessed, and said it is innate in people to want to give, support and collaborate.
The 4:30am routine and the three types of balance
Joe is an early riser, up at 4:30 most mornings. He treats that time as his alone, comparing it to being in love: you don’t miss the date, you are present and you listen. He said the morning solitude gets his brain and body right so that he can serve the rest of the day, when he faces many decisions that he measures against how they help the world.
He also talked about balance. If there are three types of stress, physical, chemical and emotional, he said there are three types of balance, and he works on all three by exercising and eating as well as he can without being a fanatic about food.
