P!NK drummer Mark Schulman rocked the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre today and got 2500 agents and brokers off their feet to hack their inner rockstar attitude.
Speaking at the Ray White and Loan Market Connect 2018 conference, Mr Schulman told delegates that simple changes in their attitude could create ongoing abundance and success.
“You have to change your ‘I have to’ to an ‘I get to’ and just see what happens as I know it will change your day and charge your life,” Mr Schulman said, who is performing tonight in Brisbane with P!nk.
“Making a decision is an attitude shift. P!nk calls me Disneyland as I exercise the power of positivity by having an abundant mindset instead of scarcity. She says I am the happiest guy in the world,” he said.
“The fact is you cannot have a positive and negative conscious thought at the same time so by shifting to positive you are shifting to abundance. If you shift your mindset, then you attract abundance.”
Mr Schulman told the Connect 2018 delegates to be fully engaged at all times, which boosts the immune system too.
“Once you are actively listening, you are not distracted and able to respond in real time which is the true foundation for the greatest rockstar performance," he said.
“The most sustainable rockstars on the planet know they have to have the best time during a performance to perform at a higher level. Rockstars love to party, but it’s all in the attitude.”
Mr Schulman said you don't have to be a rockstar to have a rockstar attitude, everyone can control their thoughts and mindset.
"Own it. Your attitude drives your behaviour," he said.
“All you have to do is to remember the ABC - attitude, behaviours and consequences. Shifting your attitude is not just semantics. When you change your attitude and your language you change your behaviour and it shifts your consequences."
He recalled pop star David Bowie once told him that he sang like it was his last note.
"That was my lightbulb moment,” Mr Schulman said.
“So when you are on point and closing those deals. It’s the difference between attitude, passion and energy - it is the driver that motivates you to do better. What happens after the passion wears down? It’s purpose."
It's all about reconnecting with the reason behind the action.
"You need to reconnect with your 'why'," he said.
“I do it because when I make a decision that every single note matters, it all matters. Make it fresh and new, play your butt off and you need to be so connected otherwise the audience doesn't get it. Rockstars live in the moment. Life is a series of nows, and how you choose that attitude right now and that behaviour is determining the consequences of now. It can be like a party but with substance. It’s a hell of a lot more fun. I’m a rockstar and I love to have fun.”
Mr Schulman said there were 120 people on P!nk’s tour and everyone’s attitude must match hers.
“If there’s a missing link, people get fired. So it’s all about the ABC, it is not just about you. P!nk chooses people who are as good at what they do as she is and everyone needs to take responsibility for their part.”
Following's Mr Schulman's memorable Connect 2018 session, Emergent CEO Holly Ransom hit the stage to talk to the audience about harnessing change in a rapidly evolving world.
The exciting young entrepreneur heads up a company specialising in disruptive strategies.
"The world is changing at a rapid pace," Ms Ransom said.
"We can't just continue to do what we've always done. Millennials are changing the world we're in. By 2028, one in every $3 will be earned by millennials. As agents and brokers, you need to understand this market. What will their needs be and how are you preparing for this change?"
Ms Ransom also touched on the impact of understanding the 'why' in what we do.
"Know who you're talking to," she said.
"Position your ideas to the people you're trying to talk to, to see their 'why' in your 'why'. To see their idea in your idea."
A busy schedule on day two at Connect 2018 also includes hearing from champion cyclist Anna Meares, Storyful CEO Sharb Farjami, and biomedical engineer and inventor Dr Jordan Nguyen, and portrait photographer Platon.
