Mastering Mindset and Manifestation with Dave Conway

If you know me , you know that I like to speak truths and be grateful , because I want more of that in the world , and my goal here is to ignite a spark within you so that you can shine your light to the world , to encourage others to shine their light , and I have the most incredible guests that will ignite your spark , and today's guest is no exception .

Today I have Dave Conway , and you may have heard of him , maybe not . He's one of the foremost leaders in the mindset coaching and consulting arena . Now , his journey into studying this area of life began when he was merely an 18 year old who attended one of Bob Proctor's workshops on the paradigm shift .

He then began his foray and study into spiritual and mental sciences .

He worked for Bob Proctor for quite some time and today he has coached and is coaching thousands of clients through his company , conway Consulting , and he helps people level up their mindset , their business and their results , and I do love this quote from his website he coaches people to release energy by increasing their service to others , and the truth is not

everybody gets sold , but everybody must be served , and I believe that , dave , we are here in service of others , so thank you for joining me in service of those listening .

So we're spiritual beings , we have an intellect and we live in a physical body and if I can help another individual remove what I call the paradigm , that's calcified the spirit , if I can help someone to remove that so they can actually express themselves to a greater degree , then without question that lights me up more .

That's my mission , that's all I do all day .

I'm curious as to your mindset prior to attending that workshop , because at 18 , most people are just like , at least in the States going to university looking for the next rat party , not thinking I'm suffering , there's something more to life , or maybe they are not . I can't speak generally .

I can just speak to what I know of 18-year-olds , and I've raised a couple of them .

I've always had this feeling I was getting in trouble a lot at school actually , and there'd be some teachers they'd be like , even when I was in elementary school , just a kid . They'd be like why don't you listen to me ? And I'd be like do you really want to know ? And they're like , yes , I do .

And it's like , okay , well , I don't trust you or I don't like you . And I used to get suspended from school and stuff like that . And I said , well , they asked . So my mother , my whole life , my mother , was the only person that ever really understood me . Truthfully , I never really felt like I was understood . So it's not like I was some cast .

We actually was very , very friendly . A lot of people had a lot of friends , got along with everybody , but I always could see through whatever the physical I could see . I don't know if we'd call that a gift or what we would call that , but that's always been a part of my life .

So when I was 18 years old , my mom's friend , mary Ann Brennan , and we're from Ireland originally . We live in Canada , but we're originally from Ireland , all of us . Actually , today is our anniversary in Canada . Today , isn't that cool , really . How many years 89 . So what are we at 89 . Remember 30th 89 . So a long time .

I don't remember if she forced me to go or if I willingly went , I don't really know . My mom used to force me to do the right thing a lot actually . She used to hold that moral standard all the time and so I went there and , yeah , that gentleman was Bob Proctor .

So this is like before the secret , before the world knew him as the world knows him today . And the crazy thing is is that actually a lot of people in the world still don't know him , which is unbelievable In my opinion . It's unbelievable . And , yes , we went . I'd never heard anybody talk like that in my entire life .

I had a lot of teachers , I had a lot of . I used to play soccer , I had coaches , had adult influences in my life , had many , many influences , like everyone does . I'd never heard anybody talk like that in my entire life and I was instantly . I felt like I was home .

So prior to that , I never really felt comfortable in my environments , but when I heard him talk I was like wow , this is incredible . Now , unfortunately , I always say that they didn't change my life , but it did change the direction of my life .

So what it did for me was it showed me a world that I previously didn't know existed , and I think that's very important . I think that's really really important awareness to have that there is higher worlds , there is a better world that does exist and you can live in it . So that night didn't change my life , but it did change the direction of my life .

Anybody who is intuitive , who is disruptive in classes right there with you . You're right , I never got suspended because I was a goody two-shoes , but I talked all the time Because I knew more than they did .

Right , I didn't , but I did in certain ways , and I think it's important for people to acknowledge and realize that if you feel different , you are different and it's OK . And because we all have something unique inside of us and it's really lovely that you were able to tap into that At a young age . What did you do after that ?

Did you dive right into the Bob Proctor universe , or did you go to university ? Or how did you get to your consulting company today ?

You were born rich as science again , and rich as my mum brought me to all that stuff . There's actually this one point and this is crazy there's this one point where I had this deep fear that I was meant to become a priest , and it was a fear . I was like . I was like I was like I don't think this is uncommon .

So what I did was I was like well , I don't really want to be a priest . So I started calling churches and I went to go sit down with the priests and you know the first priest I met and you know I didn't really feel satisfied with his answers . And then the second one I went to go meet and I didn't really feel satisfied with his answer .

And then the third one . I'll never forget it . It was in this hospital , st Paul's Hospital in Saskatoon , where I live , and that this little teeny chapel , I think , was on the third floor , and in the behind it there was the priest's little office , and so I ended up meeting with him .

I don't remember his name , but I sat down with him in his den and I started asking about the priest and I said how did you know you wanted to be a priest ? And he said well , I always knew . And I said okay . I said well , there's something in me like I don't feel it's a God , I feel it's a fear . I was like that I'm meant to be a priest .

He's like well , do you want to be a priest ? And I said no . And then he was like oh , then you're not meant to be one . I said , oh , thank God .

So that's what you are , you're a Catholic . If you're an Irish male , you're a Catholic and you have a drinking problem . You got both and yeah , seriously , and yeah , so I would go and I would try and meet with the youth groups there .

And I never felt like like you were saying , you know , I know more than you , but I know I don't , but at the same time , I actually do , and I just never found that .

So I kept journeying and journeying and it was a lonely journey , like the journey was primarily on my own , outside of conversations I would have with my mum , and that journey went from basically with Bob , from like 18 to 21 years old , and then I went from 21 to 33 , kind of on my own , and in 2015 , so that would have been 2002 , 2015 , we're talking

about 13 years later . I had this experience that actually really scared me a lot . So we were I was in construction at the time doing a job I didn't like .

So I'll show you how my level of awareness and because even when I saw Bob at 18 , I wanted to do that Obviously I just didn't understand what the heck he was talking about , or else I could have manifested that . So that's to show you the ignorance that you know . Now I know it's called a paradigm , but you know I was an ignorant guy Anyway .

So we were doing this project , there was this building inspector . I felt he was being like a douchebag or whatever . I felt he was being an asshole and I got so angry at him that I actually physically wanted to , like , harm him . And this is , this is not good , right ? No , like we're talking .

No , it's not good , we're talking , we're talking , almost we're talking 13 years into this information . And that happened and one of our guys that worked for us ran out of the house . He actually physically had to hold me back and that scared me because that didn't fit Like .

That didn't fit Like here I am , I know better , but I'm not doing better and that started this feeling inside Like it was almost like a drum beating in my head Like you're , you are actually destined for something more . Even back then , when I said to help people , like oh , they're like what do you do for a living ?

And I said , oh , I'm a , I'm a general contractor , I just felt like I was lying to them . You know what I mean ? Like I just I felt I felt like I was lying to them because inside it's not the real me . And that led to two more years , so two . I lived fairly frustrated life from 2015 , 2017 , very , very frustrated . I was .

I would call myself unhappy , unhealthy and if this is a word , unwealthy . I had fallen into the trap and I didn't know this at the time , but I've fallen to the trap .

A part of my paradigm or my belief system , unknowing to me , was just work harder , and I got to the point where I worked so much and so hard that at 33 years old , when I used to go down the stair of our home and I'm married , I've got a beautiful wife and two beautiful daughters I started actually rubbing the paint off the banister because actually my

physical body was not that of shape . So in 2017 , this idea came into my mind . I was like I wonder if Bob Proctor's still doing his thing , and I went online , I looked it up . He had an event called the Paradigm Shift in Los Angeles in May of 2017 .

Bought a ticket for my wife and I at the back of the plane general admission the cheapest way I could get there because I was a cheap , cheap skate and that was the most painful weekend of my entire life . I had a spiritual experience there and what happened to me ?

I actually got to live outside of myself for about three days after and the world was still flowing in because law caused , in fact , same phone calls , same people in my life , but I was dramatically different and I couldn't believe . I could not believe I used to live like that and I break my life into two lives .

I break my life into before 2017 and then after 2017 .

You know the same things were coming in , but you changed , and would you say that you manifested a new change or what caused that shift ? I know that the paradigm shift , the workshop is intended to do that , but I'd like to tell people you know some tips and tricks and how . You can't hear it enough .

Basically how , any suggestions on how we can change that mindset or how we manifest more . Let's go into that a little bit .

So what we want to understand is that the word mindset so originally , in the beginning , like when I started this work , I really had a problem even saying mindset , because once you say the word mind to anyone that has ever heard the word mind , they're going to begin to think that they know what that is and , let's get honest , no one knows what the mind is .

So a mindset what we need to understand that our mind is already set . And I got invited to speak at a . I get invited to speak at certain groups and it's always interesting because a lot of times I don't know what this group is all about before I speak .

And I've landed in a couple of what they call woo , woo , woo , woo groups or whatever , and I think , oh cool , it's the woo woo group , which I'm perfectly fine with . I was like interesting , and I remember there was this one lady at one of them .

It was a money mindset one , and there was this one lady who they were all celebrating because she'd manifested a new car and I said , wow , that's wonderful . And I asked her . I was like , could you do it again ? Like if I asked you to do it again this week , could you manifest another car this week ? And her confidence dropped .

And I was like , well , that's because you don't know how you did it . You see , there's a creative process in everything . And then I asked everyone in the group . I was like , who here would like to manifest money ? And everyone's like , oh , me , me , me , me . I'll ask you , kim , would you like to manifest more money ? Yes , please .

And then I said , well , just write down a bunch of money you earn and that's how much you're manifesting , right ? And I said , what you really want is you want to learn , and the key word is learn . You want to learn how to manifest more money , and the key word is learn . You see , there's nothing in this universe that is something for nothing .

So I think one of the reasons and I'll share a process with everyone as well I think one of the reasons that manifestation and this stuff can get a bad rap , it's because inside of it , a lot of the teachings of it is like something for nothing . And it's not something for nothing , it's something for everything .

This whole universe operates by law and one of the major laws is the law cause and effect . You cannot get anything unless you are a match to that thing . So I believe that true manifestation is manifesting a new version of yourself . So once we set the goals , so step one would be to sit down and ask self what do I really want ?

And I actually have a 21 day manifestation challenge that we could share . You can go on commieconsulting if anybody wants it , and totally free . And it's a 21 day challenge where I actually teach people how to bring something that they would really like to bring in their life in the next 21 days . And that's how I live my life .

I literally just say what would I like in my life next 21 days ? And then I follow this process , focus on it . It has never failed me Beautiful and I've never had to wait 21 days either .

And I know that when I'm living in it , when I'm feeling abundant that it comes , it just does , because I have manifested that feeling and I don't know if that's the right way of saying it and I'm gonna go on and do that because I love a good manifestation challenge .

Yeah , like what do I really want , what I really like to see happen in my life ? After we do that , then we'd ask ourselves who is the man , woman or person that is producing that life , and then get busy into every day endeavouring to be them .

Like I had a serious quantum leap in my life where my life just changed very , very fast financially , peace of mind , the whole thing . I was studying with Bob post-2017 , and I was having my day right . I was starting to get really frustrated with I was annoying myself is really what it was like .

I was actually just annoying , I was bothering myself and I went up into my bathroom and I went eye to eye with myself in the mirror and I was like who the hell do you think you are ? I was talking to myself like this hey , have you ever done this ?

Who are you and what do you think you're doing ?

And what I did was I got rid of them . So what I began to do is , every night I would lie in my bed and there was no Dave Conway , gone , just like the no thing . I would even see my body and it was just black , it was just no thing .

And I would fall asleep in that state and then the morning I'd wake up and I would fill my mind with the man that I wanted to be and I'd live that day . When loser draw , I'd go to sleep again and there was no Dave Conway .

And then I'd wake up in the morning again and I would fill my head with the man I wanted to be , and it was a two and a half page thing that I would actually hand wrote out every day , and I'd fill my mind with him , his belief systems , and then , when loser draw , I'd go to bed , I'd neutralize my mind , I would get rid of Dave Conway no belief

system . And as I started to do this , my income went from 5,000 bucks a month to $100,000 a month . It went over half a million dollars a month . Now that's just money .

What if you just got rid of yourself and you just you , detached . This is detachment . You just detached from your . So don't tell my mother this I don't know if she'll be listening . Like I was no longer Catholic , I was no longer anything . There was no Dave Conway .

Always , expression , the spiritual part of you is always for one thing and one thing only . It only expands . So I changed . So much came in the first 18 months of doing that that my wife actually had to sit me down because she didn't know who I was anymore .

So you're just going back to the Dave spirit , the Dave soul that has different names in different lifetimes , if you so believe in reincarnation , and then recreating , if I'm saying this right , who you want to be , that who the Dave of of the future wants to be . Would you put it that way ?

So , if we believe that we have all have a paradigm , we all have a certain level of conscious awareness , then that conscious awareness is put into us at the moment of conception , half from mom , half from dad . Super gross idea , but we were there present . You know and and and , and then , and then the environmental kicks in , right ?

So I just want really , really crazy experience where ? So I'm a car bearing five grand a month and I write on a card that I'm going to be one of the top consultants in the world , with Bob going to earn $100,000 a month . I'm going to be a world class mentor . I'm going to be a world class speaker .

I'm going to be a world class at what I do , that my clients are going to get the best results of anybody in the world , because I am one of the greatest teachers of this information in the world . Well , that's a very polarized idea versus reality , right , right . And as I wrote that out , what I began to realize is that that can be produced naturally .

So I'm producing my life naturally . I may not be enjoying it , but I am producing it . Who else is living your life , dave , but you ? And even at that event I remember I was .

I was sitting there and I remember looking around the room and and like this sounds ridiculous , but it was very profound to me , I was like I think my life might have something to do with me . Yeah , because I think we habitually blame everything all the time .

And I was sitting one day and I was really like I was struggling and what I did was I felt this immense guilt about even the idea of earning $100,000 a month and I remember what I found about the paradigm is , if you talk to it , it shuts it up . So I looked at it and I was like invisible , whatever . And I said I said okay .

I said you appear to have a problem with me going after this goal . I said what would you prefer ? I did Nothing . Crickets , I said , is the best way to serve my family as a carpenter ? Is that the best thing for me ? Crickets ? That idea was planted into me . To be a carpenter at 21 years old . That's an idea .

So at the time something happened in my life and I was kind of I lost my confidence , I was kind of fragile and I didn't really want to talk to people . So my brother at the time was working in a lumberyard . He said I get to job at the lumberyard . So I said perfect , because I could just drive the forklift and just be by myself and not have people .

Well , that one single idea got me 13 years in the industry that I never intended on being in , nor ever liked . But then responsibilities of life come in . You have a family , you got to pay the bills and I'm not the only one that fell in . This is people's life .

So when I realized that I was feeling guilt over an idea that my brother gave to me at 21, . I said , well , if I never received that , I would even be feeling guilt about it . And then I started realizing guilt is man-made , so I just got rid of them . I just got rid of them . There was no belief system .

I stopped reacting to things , I stopped having an opinion on things and I just said who is the man that is earning ? Who's the man living that life ? Yeah , and I just sort of pumped him into my mind and over time I became him .

And then I began to naturally produce all those results and once I crossed the hundred grand mark in , I never went back , I never went below that .

And then you go out in the world and you hear those beliefs and those beliefs and , of course , depending on how easily influenced we are as humans , we are going to wear those or reject those .

But most of us tend to believe because that's the world in which we have been brought up and I'm hoping that it's changing now with a new generation , like your daughters are probably a lot different than your generation were , and then my generation , because you know and you and they're going to have issues too , because everybody is different You're bringing into

their awareness , you're giving them the opportunity to grow probably , I'm assuming into the human beings , without trying to instill societal beliefs or your beliefs completely . And it's hard , because I was adopted and I found out I was adopted as an adult and I always wonder about the environment versus hereditary part of myself , and I'm going to try this .

I really love the suggestions and the way that you morphed , transitioned , created a new paradigm for yourself . It's remarkable really . Yeah , it's quantum leaps and those shifts . It's all in letting go .

So , if I have a feeling or reaction to something on the outside world , I know that that's in me . So what's the fastest way ? If I don't got all this time to go and try and uncover all my madness or whatever , then why don't I just let go of everything ? Oh , that's a tough one . I'm sure that is challenging for many .

You know , I'm sitting here soaking in every word like a sponge and I'm so glad I get to go back and edit and listen to this again a few times because I'm really learning so much . I mean , we are really nearing the end of our time together , although I could go on and on with you .

I think you are fascinating and what you do is so empowering and inspiring and necessary . So , as we wrap up , do you work with individuals or just companies or groups ? How do you work with people to assist them in achieving a new paradigm ?

So one is just the content itself . So lack of information is the cause of failure , so a lot of times it's the information that we don't have that we're missing , and it's the content we study that is profound .

The second is just the delivery , in which I deliver , I don't know , I don't want to speak arrogantly or whatever , but there's something going on over here .

Like I have a gift , I can move information fairly decently into another person so that they sort of get something from it , not just an excitement or a thrill , but an actual reflection of like , hmm , like our contemplation , more of a contemplative energy , which I think is powerful .

And then the third is everything we do is all steeped in systematic study , so repetition of thought over and over and over , because this paradigm can be changed two ways . First is an emotional impact , so that's when something happens in your life and boom changes yet , and that's happened to me in 2017 . That was a massive emotional impact .

But the second way is repetition of thought . So repeated imagery over and over and over , and it's never been so easy in the history of mankind to control a human because of the images . All this thing is just an image device . So it's all just an image . It's a thought universe .

And when we understand that everything in the universe is energy and all energy returns back to its source of regeneration . So if something going out so what we need to grasp is that it's not that we're projecting solely , that actually what's happening is everything that's coming into our life is because we're actually bringing it in .

So our consciousness has actually manipulated the energy and has formed it right in front of us . So if we start to change the inside , we can start to change what we're experiencing on the outside , and that's just how it is . There's just nothing else to do it .

It's a great little starting course for everybody there to start to use and a good practice , really good ritual , and it works and it works .

I feel my spark even more ignited after speaking with you , and I know my listeners will too . So thank you , thank you , thank you . Thank you and listeners . Wow , wow . All I can say is I hope your energy was moved like mine through this wonderful episode with Dave Conway .
