Chapter 1 Time for an Attitude Check

Got an attitude? Is it helping you, or could it use some work? Bills sitting in traffic his attitude stinks, so he feels angry at the other drivers for being in the way. He wishes theyd disappear theyre not even human to him anymore, and he doesnt remember that theyve got lives, destinations, concerns, joys, and dreams. He just wants them gone. He knows he did this to himself, by leaving too late to account for traffic. He hates being late, but hes finding himself late more and more often. But, right before he left, he grouched at his family, couldnt find his socks, and then decided he had to take a quick peek at email. So he left no room to spare in his drive time. And now hes looking at a sea of brake lights, waiting
through several turns of the traffic light. Fuming. He can feel his pulse on his forehead, a ticking bomb. Finally, he sees the hold-up an accident. He feels awful because of his selfish impatience for a moment. OR Tracys sitting in the same traffic jam, even though she left early. But shes listening to an audio book, reading when shes at a standstill, or taking the time to breathe deeply and meditate. Shes counting her blessings, taking time to be grateful for all that she is, has, and hopes for. She wonders about the other drivers around her, and notices some really grouchy guy in the car to the right. Looks like he might explode is that his pulse beating on his forehead? She says a prayer for him and all the other drivers, too. She knows that when she finally gets where shes got to go, shell be able to
cope with any effects of being late from the traffic. There is a world of difference between these two commutes. And its all because of attitude. No big surprise, your attitude affects every area of your life. The quality of your relationships The health of your finances The state of your physical health Your appearance How long youll live How effective youll be in helping others How successful youll be in your job or business An attitude is made of our thoughts, feeling, and ultimately, our actions. Its formed in that order too.
THOUGHTS
FEELINGS
ACTIONS
Notice that thoughts come first. It might seem strange, because it certainly seems like our feelings hijack our thoughts and propel us into actions not the other way around. But youll see, as we look at how your mind works, that your thoughts are the real powerhouse the boss, the launch pad that sets everything else in motion. Each thought is powerful for your good or your harm. Feelings seemingly can be overwhelming, driving you uncontrollable,
toward inevitable actions. But youre going to learn how you can control your feelings and actions before anythings set in motion. Either way, for good or for bad results, our thinking and feeling determine how things work out in our lives. Our results are just that the effects of whats going on inside us. What a relief not to live at the mercy of emotion! As well see in Chapter 3, learning
exactly how your mind works and the seven universal laws will give you the keys to creating and living a meaningful, abundant life. Before you can really get going in the direction of change, youve got to do an attitude check first. You can read until your eyeballs fall out and your fingers get calloused from turning pages, but without the right attitude in place, youre wasting your time. With a poor attitude, theres no information on Earth that can help you change your life. Take a look at your attitude about yourself, your life, the people in your life, your finances, your health, and your place in the universe. How does it look? You are the only problem you will ever have and you are the only solution. Change is inevitable, personal growth is always a personal decision. - Bob Proctor
There are lots of things in life you really dont have much of a choice about, but your attitude is not one of them. Your attitude is completely up to you. I can tell you right away, that a positive, grateful attitude is the best way to go. Gratitude - for what youve already got, for where you live, who you know, all that you are, and all that youre not is the place to start. How can you ever expect to receive more in life, to be more in life, without first appreciating how much you already have and are? Your attitude is a choice. Success is all about making great choices, and this is the first one you need to tackle. It might take practice. It might take reminding yourself. It might even take a fake it til you make it stance, but youve got to do it. So, whats your attitude like right now? You can probably see others attitudes, but its a little harder when youre looking
at your own. Lets take a look, to start off right, seeing just where we are. Grab a quiet corner and eavesdrop on your own thoughts. What do you hear? Jot these thoughts onto some paper, and then read them out loud. How do they sound? Negative? Positive? Friendly? Critical? Your thoughts are very powerful. They shape your mood, your attitude, and even affect your appearance. Your attitude has a big impact on the people around you as well. With your attitude, you can bless people with a sense of being recharged, revived just from being around you. It works the other way too, if your attitude stinks, its going to either drag those around you down or send them scurrying for cover. Your negative attitude drains the joy out of the room. Why is your attitude so powerful? Can you harness that power and use it for good?
Sure, you can! Its simple, even if its not always easy. Our attitude toward life determines lifes attitude towards us. - Earl Nightingale What do you think about? How do you look at life? Are you like Woody Allen? Given the old question about whether a cup is half-full or half-empty, he said he didnt even think he had a cup! You get to choose your focus every moment of the day. If you choose to look on the dark side, you cultivate a negative attitude. Guess what follows? More out of negativity, a molehill. and You then make negative yourself results. Its making the proverbial mountain miserable, and infect everyone else around you at the same time. You pretty much ask for trouble in life, attracting the very things you despise because youre so focused on
them. Your problems seem insurmountable because you feel like you just cant handle them. You become small. You get a free license to complain although theres no guarantee that anyone will stay around to listen. The opposite is true, too. Aside from a great attitude being conducive to living a healthy life and attracting friends, it also makes life more enjoyable and less stressful. You have a sense of being larger than any problem that comes your way, and know youve got a great support system to help if you need it. You feel good about the future, and are energized enough to work toward making things happen. You can picture, with great detail, the life you want to live. You can confidently design the life you want, the life youll have. Everyones heard the computer tech phrase garbage in, garbage out. But how
do you prevent the garbage from getting in in the first place? Take a look around you the worlds got some problems! Youve got to be vigilant, aware, and willing to make some changes. Your attitude is formed by your thoughts. But where do your thoughts come from? You get to choose! What input will you allow into your mind? Here are a few areas to consider: Who do you spend time with? What do you read? What do you watch on TV? What do you do in the car? How organized are you? What do you do when youre frustrated? How do you spend your day? What do you do before you go to sleep?
Everyones read the statistics about how much time people spend watching TV. Its contributed to a whole host of troubles, from spans, point! One things for sure, though. Theres a lot of junk on TV. Theres a lot of really bad news, a lot of negativity, a lot of people treating one another badly. Is it burying your head in the sand if you choose not to watch this stuff? No, not at all. There are many other ways you can stay informed of whats going on in the world without sitting through long stretches of news broadcasts, and commercials. Most of the news focuses on people doing things that range from foolish to downright evil. Its not a call to action its really more like an opportunity obesity to bankruptcy. divorce, Laziness, overeating, over-spending, shorter attention ADHD, promiscuity, cancer its all been blamed on TV at some
to peek. Why would you allow this into your thoughts? Did you know that many of the worlds most successful entrepreneurs launched their businesses in their spare time? Their money-making machines were built on their own time, not at their jobs. How much time do you waste watching TV that you could spend doing something productive something life-changing? Just like any other habit, TV-watching can be tough to limit or eliminate at first. But once youve freed yourself, youll be amazed by the results. Youll find yourself having more energy, a more positive outlook, a great attitude. Youll find time to start a business, learn something new, get organized, and create Your Million Dollar Lifestyle. Your mental attitude is something you can control outright and you must use selfdiscipline until you create a positive mental attitude - your mental attitude
attracts to you everything that makes you what you are. - Napoleon Hill Be careful about the people you choose to spend time with. Birds of a feather right? We dont get to choose everyone whos in our lives, but there are quite a few where we do have that privilege. If youve got negative people in your life, theyre going to be really puzzled when you start to change. Some may decide to change, too and wont that be great! But most are just going to stay the course. If you explain to them how youre trying to grow and improve, theyre not going to get it. Some of them will try to shoot you down; others will just move on to find another grump to hang around. What about your family? A bit tougher, right? You dont just get to dump them! But you also dont get to all of a sudden change the rules one day announcing, Were
going to take this whole family thing in another direction. There will be no more negativity allowed! However, you do get to be an agent of change. What you do, how you live and think and speak will make a gradual difference in your home. The best approach is to demonstrate it rather than to talk about it. Your family might think youre nuts if you start quoting motivational speakers, using strange terms and phrases, and asking them to read this passage or that. But, if you start living with a great attitude in a humble and quiet way, theyll see the difference and want to be like you. It can take time, of course, because youve got some negative patterns to overturn. They might even secretly notice that youre different, but want to wait for the other shoe to hit the floor to see whether the new you sticks. Theyll come around eventually, and you will have done a great thing.
If youre a big reader, words have a strong impact on your in thoughts. pages, You so immerse yourself the
enthralled that you dont notice the time passing. If you read fiction, you find that you feel you know the characters, feel for them, miss them when youre finished reading. It can be a great imaginary escape. Its got its place, for sure. But, you should also be diligent in reading books that will add to your development. There are shelves and shelves full of great books about achievement, entrepreneurship, memory-improvement, success, business, marketing, self-improvement,
investing, wealth creation, and leadership. Just as you meet your nutritional needs by eating a balanced diet, its important to feed your brain a good variety of books. Audio books are an excellent way to kill two birds with one stone. The time you spend in your car can be transformed from
brain-dead robot time to an oasis of selfimprovement and growth. Lots of successful entrepreneurs refer to their cars as rolling universities because theyve found a way to redeem what would otherwise be wasted time. If you spend your driving time listening to a good speaker, or quietly envisioning your goals, youll find that the time goes by more quickly and pleasantly. Youll arrive smarter, more pleasant, and invigorated. A big challenge to maintaining a good attitude is stress. One common source of stress is being disorganized. Disorganization leads to aggravation, making you late as you rush around looking for those lost keys, your belt, your wallet. Its a habit, so its going to take some concerted effort to change, but you can become much more organized if you apply yourself. The best way to get organized is to develop systems in your life. A system is a set of actions you
do, in the same order, in the same way every time you have a certain situation. You do it consistently until you can pretty much do it in your sleep. Its the way you brush your teeth you probably have a certain pattern, a certain timing. Its become so automatic that youre barely aware youve done it at times. If you can develop a single system at a time say, first for a routine youll follow every time you come home. Put the briefcase here, the keys there, check the voicemail, etc. Be conscious to do it the same way every day, and youll be amazed at how easy it is after a while. Youll be able to find your keys every morning (unless gremlins really do come out at night and hide your keys!). How do you handle yourself when you get frustrated or disappointed? This is a biggie. Youve had times when something didnt go right, and your attitude was off for days. Stuff happens, and youve got a much
better chance at making it through with a good attitude intact if you plan ahead. You can create a system for how you handle difficulties. Doing so will help you by giving you a sense of which end is up, keeping you from reacting rashly, and guard your attitude from taking a nosedive. The first key is to stop and think before you react. Take a deep breath. Focus on thinking rationally. You can handle this. Youve got all the resources you need, right at your fingertips to get through this difficulty. Take a moment to reflect on that fact and to be grateful for the help youll receive. Remind yourself that if youve got such great help, youre actually much larger than your problem. Its just a matter of time before you find a great solution. Be thankful for all the positive aspects of the situation. If you have a fender-bender, you can be thankful that you have a car, that youve got insurance, that nobody was hurt, that
youve got an opportunity to demonstrate grace and mercy. Approaching any situation from this calm, grateful mindset ensures that your attitude will help rather than harm. How you spend your day greatly affects your thoughts, which form your attitude. If youve ever had a day when you were really busy, in a good way, productive, and purposeful, you know how good it felt. Your attitude was great, you treated people well, you were grateful for every blessing that came your way, and you slept well at night. On the other hand, if you spend a day doing nothing and not nothing like on vacation! you probably grew a little cross as the day went by. You were more tempted to overeat, to watch junk TV, to be crabby. You went to bed unsatisfied, grumpy, glad the day was finally over. Its important to plan a good, meaty day everyday. You need to be engaged in purposeful activities, balancing
time alone and time with people. You need time each day to do something creative. You need a little challenge every day. Orchestrating one productive day after another leads to great results, and leaves you with a great attitude, which brings even more results. Finally, the last 15 20 minutes of each day are really valuable. Dont waste them. This is a great time to spend a few minutes expressing gratitude for the day, for the people you saw, the things you did, the help you received. Spend some time reading words that continue to change your heart and mind, nurturing your spirit by drawing you closer to your creator. Use the time to enjoy picturing your goals, fleshing out every detail before you fall asleep. Your brain keeps working while you sleep, so right before bedtime is an excellent time to give it something great to work on all night. Youll sleep better when you go to bed with
a good attitude, and youll wake up inspired and ready to jump into another great day.
Chapter 2 This is No Time to be Undecided

Say you want to make a change in your life. What do you do? Will simply deciding to change your life someday make it happen? Probably not. Will putting that decision in writing make it happen? Maybe, but probably not. To make a significant change in your life, youve got to go about it the right way, or else it will fall by the wayside like a wish to start your own business, stop smoking, or learn a new language. Theres a world of difference between a wish and a decision. The word decision actually means to cut off all other options. Thats pretty decisive. For many different reasons, some people have a really hard time making a decision. Maybe theyre afraid theyll get themselves into a bad situation with no way out. Maybe
they fear theyll fail, so they dont even go for it. Maybe theyre worried about what other people will say. Even though many people would certainly say they wish they could make more money, be happier, get along better with others, get in shape, or live in a healthier way, for most people, its always just a wish. Moving from wish to decision is crucial for anyone who wants to make a big change. We make decisions all the time, whether were aware of it or not. Some decisions are made on auto-pilot, and that works well in some cases, but not in others. When you engage in a bad habit, youre making a decision to continue self defeating behavior. When you engage in positive behavior, you decide to do that, too. We make decisions based on our thoughts and emotions. Then our decisions bring about our actions, and our actions bring about results.
So how do you do what you need to do? You start with a committed decision. What do you want? How do you plan to get it? Whats involved, whats required of you in order to move forward toward your goal? One decision you make stays the same during the whole journey toward your dream that decision is your goal, what youre aiming for, what you want. On the way there, youve got a host of decisions to make, too. Each day, you decide what attitude youll have, what youll do with your time and energy, how youll talk and think about your goal, what tactics youll engage to move forward. Each decision you make automatically cuts off lots of other options. Pam decided to start last a Network She Marketing business year.
decided that within a year, shed be at the level where shed get paid to drive a white Mercedes-Benz. She decided that
shed build her business by building a team of other motivated consultants. She decided that shed do whatever it took to get to her goal, even if it felt uncomfortable. Shed do it even if it felt hopeless. Shed do it even if she didnt feel like it. Each day, as she got ready to work her business, she knew what to do. This is because her decision determined her to do list. Shed cut off her other options it wasnt an option for her to spend the day watching reality TV. It wasnt an option to quit after ten people in a row said, No thank you. Now, a year later, shes right on the edge of qualifying for that car! If shed been wishy-washy all along, shed probably have quit. A truly committed decision is the force that changes your life. - Anthony Robbins
Heres the rub most of us struggle to make decisions because were not used to fully committing ourselves. We waste a lot of time using limiting language, language that leaves us an escape route. We say: Ill try Maybe I wish I could I might Making firm, committed decisions takes practice. Youve got to watch what comes out of your mouth, making sure to use language that communicates your certainty, commitment and unlimited potential. It gets easier the more often you do it. It also helps to have someone else who can call your attention to any limiting language you use. Of course, this brings up a big question. What do you want? Its pretty hard to
decide which route to take if you dont know where you want to go! If you wanted to take a driving vacation from Maine to California, would you just hop in your car, head west, and hope for the best? No, of course not! Youd make a series of decisions before you took action. Youd answer questions like: Where in California do I want to go? How long do I want this trip to take? What would I like to see on the way? Where will I stay overnight during the trip? Can my car get me there? What preparations do I need to make before I leave? What should I pack? Who will come with me? How much will this trip cost? Youd get a good map and plan your route. Youd schedule any sights you want
to see on the way. Youd probably get an audio book or two to listen to on the way. Youd pack a suitcase full of everything you need to bring. Youd pack your cell phone in case you ran into trouble. Theres a lot of preparation and its only a vacation! When it comes to your life, should you plan less? If you dont actively make decisions about your life, youre essentially deciding that its not important enough. Youll find yourself tossed here and there, never knowing whether youre succeeding or failing, relying just on old for habits and behaviors, better. The first decision youve got to make is what you want. Knowing that we live in a world full of possibilities, as people full of potential, your options are unlimited. But youve got to choose a destination, or you wont know where youre going or how to get there. Without a clear map, youll be
wishing
something
blown off track by every passing difficulty and have no way to right yourself and proceed onward. How do you decide what you want? Start somewhere anywhere. Pick a topic: Your house Your business Your health Your relationships Your spirituality Your hobbies How you help others Thinking about that one area of your life, begin to ask yourself detailed questions about all the particulars. Write them or draw them, so that youve got as much detail as possible on paper. The way you translate your decision into action, then into results, begins with your mind. Youve at got a wonderful, powerful resource your
command
your
mind,
and
great
technology to put it to use called Vision on Demand. But, youve first got to have your decision firm in your mind. What, exactly, do you want? Until this is absolutely spelled out, you give yourself an out youll never be fully committed to a decision thats vague. Only when your decision is detailed enough to become a solemn vow, can you proceed toward success. Get the details firmly planted in your mind, and on paper. Then, its time to roll the film!
Vision on Demand
Just like you may have Video on Demand as part of your cable or satellite TV service, your brains got something called Vision on Demand. What happens when you go to the movies? You enter the theatre and take a seat. Its dark so youll look at the screen rather than your surroundings. Youve got
to turn off your cell phone so you dont ruin the sense of suspended reality for the other moviegoers. You sit, watching. If its a compelling movie, you feel completely drawn in. You jump when its startling, you laugh and cry when the story calls for it youre pretty much at the mercy of the people who made this movie. Your emotions follow suit. You are so into it that it almost feels jarring when you return back to reality. A great film impacts you so that you still feel it after its over, and your mind is drawn back again and again. You roll the plot subtleties over in your mind, wonder what the characters were thinking, replay the soundtrack until its tattooed on your brain, and feel like you could easily run the dialogue lines with your friends. Vision on Demand works the same way. You can use this Vision on Demand technology to harness the engine of your imagination to gain a clearer picture of your
success.
By
visualizing your
your
peak you
performance,
achievement,
imprint the details on your mind. Create an image in your mind of your goal. Be as detailed as you can be, including all your sensory factors, until its as real to you as if you were actually living it. Kates goal is to one day live on Sanibel Island in Florida. Shes visited there many, many times, and knows the place like she knows her hometown. When she utilizes her Vision on Demand technology, she closes her eyes and imagines herself driving across the causeway in her convertible. She crosses the bridge, enjoying the view of Ft. Myers to the left, and little islands to the right. Brown pelicans glide by, as if racing with her car. She comes to the stop sign at the end of the bridge and turns right. Making another quick right, she coasts down a street lined with live oak trees.
Theres a wonderful canopy overhead, and dappled sunshine on the road. She turns left just before the waterfront, and sees her home at the end of the road. It backs onto the Gulf of Mexico, which is pale green in the sunlight today. There are date palms and Washington palms lining the driveway. A white wrought-iron gate swings open, and her car rolls into the driveway. She hears a solid thump when she closes her car door. She can feel the cool metal of her key as she unlocks her door, the rush of cool airconditioned air as she steps into the foyer. She sees a large pedestal table. On it is a gigantic, exotic fresh flower arrangement, and a note from her husband. Be back for dinner Ill bring fresh grouper and a bottle of wine. She changes into her bathing suit and slips into the refreshingly cool plunge pool on her lanai. Ahhhhh she relaxes while
watching some dolphins swim up the coastline. Sounds pretty fabulous, doesnt it? Are you thinking that the fantasy sounds good, but the idea of anything productive coming from spending time imagining is just plain silly? Think about this. What happens when you worry? You focus on a problem youve got. Your mind plays out all bad outcomes possible. Youll be humiliated. Youll be shown to be a fraud, incompetent. Youll suffer bad consequences. Others will look down on you. On and on it goes. Right when your stomach starts to knot and churn, you push the eject button. Essentially, theres not much difference in the process between the Florida fantasy and the headache-inducing dread. Its a process like rehearsing. Youve conjured up a synthetic experience it hasnt actually
happened, but you can feel it all the same. You can imagine it happening. Youre even motivated to take action based on what youve youve imagined. played In the every worry detail model, the out
feelings, what youll see and hear, how youll act, what everyone will say its all unpleasant. In the fantasy model, youve played happen. As you go about deciding what you want for your life, spend time using the Vision on Demand technology for every area. The more you practice using it, the easier and more automatic it becomes. You begin to fill in more details each time, and see it more clearly. In doing this exercise, you imprint your wishes on your sub-conscious, which has no choice but to make it so. Using your Vision on Demand technology will also help you when you run into

obstacles on the way to achieving your dream. Whether or not obstacles stop you dead in your tracks depends on how committed you are to start with. If youve only got some vague idea about someday maybe living a better life, making more money, or getting into good shape, youll be easily distracted. Our attention span is brief when were not fully vested in our goal. Joel wants to lose weight. Hes tired of feeling sluggish, looking round, and having to let his belt out on a regular basis. He decides to do something about it. Hell walk every day, watch what he eats, and cut back on the beer. Its a good plan, he thinks, and he wakes up Monday morning feeling full of purpose. And then comes Monday Night Football. His buddies arrive at the door, bearing pepperoni pizza. Another guy puts a case of beer into the fridge, chucking the bag of
carrots and the bottled water out onto the counter in disgust. Within minutes, Joel has eaten everything he could get his hands on, completely forgetting his earlier decision. Later, he thinks, If only I could get motivated enough, I could do this. He throws in the towel until the next time his waistband feels too tight. What went wrong? Joels goal was pretty vague to start with, he had no real plan, nothing to tie his motivation to action, and no preparation to deal with the inevitable challenges hed face. A more richly detailed image of his goal would have provided him with a glimpse of success so real he could feel it. He could have rehearsed what hed do when met with bumps in the road. Having a detailed image in place is really helpful because it keeps us focused on and actively creating the result we decided to create. It completely revolutionizes our concept of failure. It makes us brave
enough to try something we or others havent done before, or something weve tried before without success. Winners in life are not people whove never failed. They are people whove probably failed more than other people have ever even tried new things. What separates winners from the rest is that theyve learned how to move past failure, keeping their goals in sight all along the way. It takes courage. It takes commitment. It takes a clear and detailed dream and a plan. If you regularly spend time utilizing the Vision on Demand technology, you are consistently imprinting your goal onto your subconscious mind. When you choose to spend time thinking about what you want, in great detail, you stay motivated. Imagining your success as if it had already happened starts a process by which your mind works to make it happen. Then, if you
have
setbacks
along
the
way, In
theyre your as
perceived as small annoyances rather than insurmountable mind doesnt obstacles. even fact, recognize them
setbacks at all anymore. Theyre merely signals to adjust your course so that youre aimed more directly at success. Its a lot like flying in a jet plane. Most of the time, in spite of the pilots expertise, the navigators excellent skills, and a welldesigned flight plan, your plane is technically off course. Yet you end up at your destination without ever knowing that you were, technically, lost! The planes systems are programmed to get you from point A to point B. But lots of little factors impact the flight so that slight modifications must always be made to keep the plane on course. When you create your vision, its like filing a flight plan. You know where youre going, your mind is following your orders, and you set about getting to your
destination. As you go forward, you run into obstacles, challenges, and you find yourself with a choice. You could just throw in the towel, abort your trip, come up with a bunch of excuses, and say, Oh well. I tried, but it just didnt work. Or, you can course correct and keep going. The decisions just the first part. You commit yourself to following through, to the path youve chosen no matter what. You contemplate the obstacles youre likely to encounter and commit yourself to moving past them rather than quitting. You cant curse in the darkness what you decided in the light. You reflect on your decision often, reminding yourself of your goal and all the particulars of your commitment. The way to develop decisiveness is to start right where you are, with the very next question you face. - Napoleon Hill
And then you act! Any true decision is followed by action. Taking consistent actions that youve decided to take in pursuit of your goal has an almost magical effect. Action brings results. Results reinforce your resolve and help you build momentum. The more momentum youve got, the easier it is to push past the barriers that seem to be in your way. It all starts with your decision. A firm, well thought-out decision, complete with a plan and a vision brings you to the point of making a solemn vow to yourself, a covenant. Youre not going to back out of this youre in it for the long haul. Youve cut off every other option. Youve thought about this so much that you can roll the film on demand. You can see, hear, taste, touch and smell it because youve fleshed out every detail in with your Vision on Demand technology. Spend time everyday with your vision. Make it so detailed you can almost
see it on a screen. Use it to guide and motivate you, to keep you going when things get tough.
Chapter 3 Whats On Your Mind?

Its all in your mind. Remember, its mind over matter Change your mind. A mind is a terrible thing to waste. Pretty universal slogans by now. But what exactly are we talking about? What is the mind? Obviously its got to do with thought, so its kind of related to the brain. And the brains pretty important the boss of your body, sending signals to breathe, pump the heart, move the muscles, and function. But the brain and the mind arent quite the same thing. Animals of all kinds have some form of brain, but we dont think of them as having a mind like ours. Its in the mind that we have creativity, imagination, goals, hopes, dreams, empathy for others. Its not all lovely in there we also have anxiety, confusion,
conflict, and some pretty mean voices. So what does this mind-thing look like? Its not the mass of slimy, squiggly tissue that we picture when we think brain. Its a concept. Having a deep and thorough understanding of your mind, and how it operates will give you the power to create every circumstance or result you desire. Youll learn how to get what you want by following the laws that govern your mind and the universe, rather than wishing for some good luck to come your way. One trait common to people whove created great wealth is that their minds are orderly. You need this quality, too. Your mind should be characterized by its orderliness. This order includes your picture of yourself, of what you want, and of what you do. Dr. Thurman Fleet, father of Concept Therapy, came up with a great illustration in the 1930s. Its pretty simple, really. He
devised a figure called The Stickperson. The Stickperson divides the mind into three parts: the Conscious, the Subconscious, and the Body. Weve got to have some sort of image to look at to understand how the mind works. While this graphic is simple, it unlocks concepts that can be hard to grasp otherwise. A close examination of The Stickperson will bring you a solid understanding of where your thoughts and feelings come from, how they lead to action, and then to results. Youll also realize that The Stickperson is a universal concept every humans mind works the same way. Each person is governed by the same universal laws. This understanding will benefit you in every circumstance when you deal with people in business, at home, and among friends. Youll begin to see them in a different way, one in which you understand why they do and say what they do.

Heres how each part works together
The Conscious Mind

This is the part that thinks. Your conscious mind makes decisions, reasons, holds preferences, makes plans, sets goals, and chooses what to think about all day. This is the part of your mind that enjoys free it to will. You also and process create. what You you make experience in your conscious mind. You use imagine
decisions about what you will and wont do, will and wont believe, will and wont concentrate on. You focus on a project or goal. You reason, weigh options, and find solutions. You choose the thoughts you create, or settle for thoughts someone else gives you. Youve got the power to accept or reject any idea that comes to your mind. Nobody and nothing can force you to think about something you dont want to think about. Whichever way you go, you imprint your conscious thoughts onto your subconscious mind. Its as if your conscious mind is the king. The king makes his wishes known, and everyone else jumps into action to comply.
The Subconscious Mind

Your subconscious is fascinating wild, vast, and mysterious. High achievers have worked to gain a solid understanding of how the subconscious mind works. They understand the impact of the subconscious
mind how it affects their results in a very powerful way. The subconscious mind isnt confined to your brain it lives and works in every cell of your body. This is the part of your mind that swings into action at night when you dream no rules, no logic, no limits, no impossibilities. When you awaken, your subconscious mind snaps to attention, ready to ask how high when your conscious mind tells it to jump. It is completely without reason, without the power to differentiate truth from lies; it accepts every thought the conscious mind gives it without question. Your conscious mind impresses thought after thought on your subconscious mind, which in turn demonstrates and expresses these thoughts through your feelings and actions. Thoughts that are frequent and repeated burn themselves deeply into the subconscious mind, becoming a fixture in your personality. These fixed ideas take on
lives of their own, becoming habits and paradigms. Living these ideas becomes effortless effort. The subconscious mind is the faithful servant to the king the conscious mind. It exercises every resource to obey when the conscious mind makes a statement or request. It doesnt discriminate between what seems possible, likely, healthy, good, or bad. A huge part of your subconscious minds job is to make it so. It commands your body and your senses to do its bidding. You think, Id like to find a great home-based business opportunity. Your subconscious says, Right on it! and commissions you to look for home-based business opportunities. Similarly, if you think, Im never going to fall asleep. Im going to be exhausted tomorrow, your subconscious mind still

Changing these ideas requires purposeful
says, Right on it! and marshals every thought, anxiety, and obscure song lyric youve ever heard in order to keep you up all night and leave you feeling exhausted the next day. The subconscious mind is a tireless and efficient worker. It does whatever it is told, without question. It accepts every thought your conscious mind plants there and does everything possible to obey completely and immediately.
The Body
Successful people pay close attention to their bodies, too. They recognize that the body is just the outward manifestation of the inside elements conscious and subconscious mind. Our bodies, full of vibration, perform and look the way they do because of the internal workings that impact it. In learning to interpret our bodies signals, we become more attuned to our
feelings and others as well as other nonverbal communications between people. Your body houses your conscious and sub-conscious mind. It is the tool your mind uses to enact your thoughts. Your body brings about the actions and results your mind directs. Your body is like the fruit on a tree. It shows what you think about; it does what you command it to do; it obeys your subconscious mind in its commission to fulfill the orders your conscious mind gives. Rather like a field thats ready to harvest, your body is a visual demonstration of the thoughts youve planted and tended. Your body doesnt think at all it simply serves as a canvas for your mind it shows on the outside whatever is going on the inside. It is a result, not a cause. When youre going about making changes in your life, it would be foolish to start on the outside and work your way inward. The quality of the inside determines
the appearance and performance of the outside. So, it only makes sense to focus on your thoughts first, and watch what happens through your body. What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday, and our present thoughts build our life of tomorrow. Our life is the creation of our mind. - Buddha Dieting is the perfect example of how this system works. Most dieters hope to lose weight by focusing on the outside on the physical components of weight loss. They decrease their nutritional intake; they deny themselves; they increase their activity levels, exercising regularly in hopes of melting their extra weight. However, most of them fail because they neglect the inside arena. The results theyve got now extra weight came from an interior source what theyve thought and focused on, how they acted upon those thoughts. While
following a strict eating and exercise plan may remove some excess weight for a time, it doesnt address the source. The conscious mind must have different input for the system as a whole to change. Since we have the privilege of choosing our thoughts, we must choose thoughts that are empowering, that are purposeful, that lead to the results we want. The conscious mind is able to choose and think these thoughts at will. The subconscious mind puts it all into action, summoning every necessary resource to get the results the conscious mind has requested. Finally, the body demonstrates, in living color, what the mind has done. Understanding how the mind works is one crucial component for engineering change and success. Understanding how the universe works is the other necessary component. Without a solid understanding of how the world and our minds work, we
are without any understanding of how to succeed. It would be like trying to play a game without any comprehension of the rules or the way to win a pointless, frustrating experience.
The Seven Laws of the Universe

Just as there are physical laws that govern how the physical world works gravity, for example, there are also laws that govern how the universe works. Understanding these laws is critical to achieving success learn them and work with them, not against them. 1. The Law of Perpetual Transmutation Basically, this law states that what starts as energy changes into what is physical. Everything around you everything you see, hear, smell, touch, or taste began as energy. The vibration of that energy
forms what is physical. Everything is in constant motion, and that motion is always changing. Energy can not be created or destroyed, just moved and changed. Our thoughts make themselves manifest in the physical world. In other words, what we think about, we bring about. 2. The Law of Relativity The way we perceive any object, thing, person, or idea is always relative to how we see another object, thing, person, or idea. Its the way we gauge what we see bigger, smaller, good, bad, better, worse. The whole universe is designed to work together, with all the laws corresponding rather than conflicting. All the laws apply equally to everything in the universe regardless of their size, strength, or awareness of the laws. Everything in the universe has its own rate of vibration high, low, and inUnleash YOUR Million Dollar Lifestyle Today! www.SystematicSuccess.com
between we can only evaluate the rate of vibration based on a comparison with the rates of other things. In your life, you see this law played out as you compare yourself someone to other people. room You who are has reasonably attractive, right? Now, say enters the entirely unfortunate looks you feel simply gorgeous in comparison. But what if a supermodel enters the room next? How good-looking are you then? Its all relative. The core of this law is that everything in life just is our perception shapes how we experience it.
3. The Law of Vibration This law says that nothing is at rest in the universe Our its all constantly of that vibrating. awareness
vibration is what we call feeling. Our feelings are determined by vibration, and we determine our rate of vibration by our thoughts and the paradigms we use to look at life. Youve experienced this if youve ever walked into an office or house where people were just quarreling. The tension in the air is thick enough to cut with a knife, and you instantly know youve unpleasant. Our thoughts consist of vibrations we send out to the universe. When we focus or concentrate on our thoughts, the vibrations grow stronger. Thoughts are the strongest vibration to move through the universe. The Creator created the whole universe all that there is, seen

using
thoughts and words. Humans are the only creation who share the power of thought with the Creator, and that makes us special. This power to think, this gift of spirit, is what it means to be created in the image of the Creator. Our thoughts and prayers are very powerful, affecting the physical world we live in. Our awareness of vibration is what we call our feelings. We see what its like to be in a negative vibration when we say, I feel bad today. A positive vibration shows when we say, I feel great today! Since in a vibration positive thoughts originates or negative with our thoughts, we can control whether we live vibration it pattern. You use your brain to choose which youll entertain doesnt choose a vibration itself. Youre the master of your thoughts, of your vibration. Your thoughts steer your
central nervous system into the vibration you choose. Your mind is a storehouse of images positive and negative, whatever you allow to take up room there. If you choose to dredge up, examine, and review the negative, you will move into a negative vibration negative feelings will immediately follow. The reverse is true positive thoughts lead to positive vibration and a positive mood. You become what you think about. Earl Nightingale 4. The Law of Polarity Everything has an equal opposite up/down, good/bad, empty/full. There is no such thing as a one-sided coin. No object has only a left side without a right side. Because everything not only has an opposite, but the opposite is also equal, weve got an immutable law that we can
understand. If you measure the room and find it is eighteen feet from the wall to the door, youll find its also eighteen feet from the door to the wall. Seems pretty obvious, but the understanding of this law will really change how you look at life. Say something you think is really bad happens to you according to the Law of Polarity, equally there good must be something it, too. about
Mathematically, if something happens to you that you see as only being a little bit bad, the flipside is that theres also a little bit of good in that, too. Because of the Law of Polarity, you also get to choose your thoughts on every occurrence in life is this a good thing or a bad thing? In reality, it just is. But you have the privilege of interpretation you can choose to view it as a positive or a negative. From that choice, you set

5. The Law of Rhythm The whole universe moves in a repetitive rhythm. The tides, the seasons, day and night we can count on these regular patterns to stay constant. If anything moves forward, something else must move backward; if anything grows greater, something else shrinks. Every action causes a reaction, and results in a rhythmic swinging of vibration. You see this law at work every day in the peak and decline of your energy, the ups and downs that you experience, the way that our days are sometimes full and busy and sometimes slow and lazy. Its helpful to realize that our moods have a natural rhythm of ups and downs, and
that even in the midst of a relatively down mood, weve still got control of our thoughts. Choosing good thoughts, even when we feel down, propels us into a positive our goals. 6. The Law of Cause and Effect This law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. What you send out into the universe comes back. Luck, chance, and accidents are non-existent. that Everything happens in the so universe is subject to universal laws, and everything does because it was caused. We see the result of this law in the physical world in our health, our bank accounts, and how people treat us. The way we get results we want is by working on the cause vibration, evening out our emotions and keeping us moving toward
behind them. A changed cause must produce a changed effect. One way to change your cause is to focus on it, using positive affirmations to point you in the direction you wish to go. In each area of your life, develop positive statements you can repeat in your mind regularly. These affirmations should be in the present tense, carefully crafted to focus you on what you really want. 7. The Law of Gender This law describes how every seed has a gestation period. We see it in nature all the time you plant carrot seeds, and can expect to wait about seventy days before the carrot is ready to eat. If you conceive a child, it takes about forty weeks for the baby to be born. The same is true for ideas. They are spiritual seeds, and take time to become manifest. You must be patient when you plant a
spiritual seed, an idea. It will show itself in physical form when the time is right. Every idea that is given energy moves into the physical world. Everything in the universe has a masculine and feminine side. We see it in every person and animal, and even in the plant world. The principle of both male and female in all things makes potential, required regeneration, for life how to and motion This law possible. Both male and female are exist. demonstrates everything comes
about, how things change from what they were into what they become. You may be familiar with some of these concepts the structure and function of your mind, and the universal laws of the universe. Some may be completely new to you. Understanding them is so important in the process of achieving your dreams, of living the purpose-filled life you were
designed to live, of living in a way that is fulfilling and proactive. If youre serious about making changes, about winning in life, about living up to your potential and helping everyone around you to do the same, youll commit yourself to learning these concepts. Reflect on them, discuss them, and do all you can to comprehend them teach them to others, too. The more aware you are about how it all works together, the more you can put these ideas and laws to work for you so that youll experience more success and less frustration.
Chapter 4 Who on Earth are YOU?

Youve got lots of different ways to introduce yourself to people: Im a parent. Im married. Im a banker. Im into boating. All depends on who youre talking to, right? But how do you describe yourself to YOU? What comments do you make about yourself as you go through the day? What do you expect from yourself? Its always easier to see what our image of other people is. Were pretty clear about how much we like or dislike someone else. Everyones had a less-than-wonderful coworker before you know, the one whos always late, talks with food in her mouth, wont stop showing pictures of her dogs around the office. When shes got a big
project to work on, everyone expects the same pattern. First shell boast about how she was the only one the boss trusted to handle this project. Then shell pester everyone else for advice on how to do it, without ever taking their recommendations. Next, shell huff and puff around the office, complaining about working overtime to complete the project. Finally, shell squeak through at the last minute with something pleased on; the client after to is all. be miraculously shed move with
Everyone complains about her, wishing nobody wants cornered by her. But what does she think of herself? A mystery, right? Because if it were you, youd see how much of a jerk you were being. Youd try to change. So its hard to imagine she even gives a thought to her character and behavior.
Its much harder to see what you think of yourself. Its not as black and white as observing someone else and forming an opinion. When its you, its more complex. Thats because you see everything you do from the viewpoint of how you intended it to go. You see motivations, nuances, history, and feelings. Science and psychology have isolated the one prime cause for success or failure in life. It is the hidden self-image you have of yourself. - Bob Proctor What you think of yourself, or self-image, is a verdict made up of many different pieces of evidence. You have, buzzing around in your mind, input from a huge number of witnesses: Your parents Your childhood friends Your teachers Your classmates
Your spouse Your co-workers Your colleagues Your business partners Your manager Your self Very few people like everything about himself or herself. We lug around an invisible sack of feelings about ourselves secretly fearing that others will see who we are at our worst. Well be rejected, cast away. It matters to us how others see us, and we hope to put our best foot forward, earning enough good will before any of our faults leak out. The weird thing is that while we can see what we want others to think of us, it can be hard to really nail down what we think of ourselves. Are you the type who stomps all over yourself for every perceived failure and
fault? Or, are you the kind of person whos convinced that youre always right? Or, do you see yourself as someone with great potential, great intentions, who often steps in it, doing and saying things that bother other people? So, who are you, anyway? Take a few minutes and write about yourself make two lists of words that describe your character, who you really are positive and negative. Dont linger too long on each word, and dont add commentary. Remember that your attitude inside shows on the outside both in how you live and in the results you see. Now take a look at your list. If youre like most people, your list probably has more positives than negatives. Lets deal with the negatives first so we can move on. Read them over, then say, You know what? Ive got room for improvement. Im working on these faults, and getting better every day.
Then put them away. Your negatives are funny things some of them are probably qualities others wish they had. Just like everything else, theres a positive side to those qualities thatll become more obvious as you grow. Some are built into your being, and you just need more personal growth to be able to express them in a positive way. Others may be habits or learned behaviors thatll improve as you grow. Were going to run with the positives, because those are qualities that are naturally good in you. Focus on these positive attributes, and think kindly about yourself. You need a strong, healthy selfimage to succeed. You need to think about yourself positively in order to also think positively about others, and to treat them well. When your self-image has to constantly duck and cover from the darts you throw your way, its always in defense mode. Its nearly impossible to treat others
with generosity when youre in survival mode. Relentless, repetitive self-talk is what changes our self-image. - Denis Waitley So how do you go about building a healthy, positive will self-image? move Lets talk about timing first. Some parts of this reconstruction along quickly. There are habits and practices you can do (or not do!) thatll help tremendously. Other parts, though, are pretty deep-seated. Theyre the result of opinions you made of yourself long ago from what others told you, things that disappointed you, things people said that you accepted without question. As with everything else you do to grow and improve, it takes action and patience to see results. Here are 4 practical things you can start doing today to improve your self-image:
1. Watch what you say to yourself. Its amazing how well allow ourselves to say things to ourselves that we would never tolerate coming from someone else. If the mean words that come out of your own mind about yourself came out of the mouth of a stranger, you might be hurt, but youd certainly think, This guys nuts, talking to me like that. If the same mean words were addressed to your child or your best friend, youd run to their defense with a big How dare you? on your tongue. Well talk soon about how your mind works, but lets just say for now that its not discriminating in what it believes, if it comes from your own thoughts.
2. Watch who you hang out with. Negativity is contagious, and gossip is a hard habit to shake. Obviously, if you spend time with people who are critical, who tear others down, youll catch it too in two ways. Youre more likely to think and talk that way about others and yourself, and, those same people probably talk about you when youre not around, too. Surround yourself with positive people, people who are seeking to grow and improve. We really do become like the people we surround ourselves with, so be particular.
3. Watch for the positive. Because negative thinking about ourselves and everything around us is so habit-forming, it can really sneak up on us. Make a point of searching for what is positive, lovely, perfect, wonderful, timely, gracious, and good. Do this about the people you interact with and about yourself. It forms a new habit building, rather than destroying. 4. Watch your tongue. Be very careful about what you say. If you catch yourself berating yourself, or another person, stop. Take a moment, turn around in your tracks, and go the other way. Guard your heart and your lips negativity. People have enough catch-up work to do on their self-image from all they heard about themselves long ago without you adding to it and that goes for yourself, too.
Your self-image has profound consequences on your outlook. What doors do you see open to your success? What do you think youre capable of? What kind of life is open to you? How differently do you think someone who lives with a poor self-image lives from someone with a healthy, positive self-image? One area of your self-image deals with your ideas about wealth. What were you taught to expect in life, financially? Far more powerful than the numbers in your parents bank account, what you were told about money has been ground into your self-image. What do you think you should be? What do you think you should have? What were you told about college, about business, about risk, about rich people? Your self-image regarding wealth plays a huge part in where you are now. Knowing this, working to become more aware, and trading unhealthy views for healthy ones,
will make a huge change in where you go from here. Starting from here, youve also got the opportunity to contribute positively to your own childrens self-image and thoughts about wealth, opportunity, and how the universe works. As a person thinketh in their hearts, so are they. - James Allen Face the facts - your odds are better for getting struck by lightening then getting wealthy. Who do you think you are? What makes you think youll succeed? Heard these before? Said these before? Theyre all based on lack, limitation, and pessimism. Beyond that, theyre all based on current circumstances. Looking around where you are now, it might seem like significant improvement is just a fantasy.
An abundant life might seem way out of reach for you. Does this say more about your circumstances or your potential? On the surface, it seems like youre just being realistic, looking at the facts as they are. Imagining a better life is the ultimate fantasy, right? Not at all. In fact, anyone whos ever done anything amazing started in the same place youre in right now. They started in circumstances where this amazing dream seemed way out of place a laughable impossibility. They had to be careful about sharing their fantasy with others, knowing that most people would be so unnerved, so offended, so threatened that theyd try to dissuade them from going for it. Some people feel compelled to pop bubbles. They somehow escaped or ignored enough barbs to get moving. They walked steadily toward their
dreams until they saw them happen. Then, all of a sudden, those same nay-sayers changed their tune. Visionary! Success against the odds! Ahead of your time. Much easier for them to say after youve succeeded. So, what sets achievers apart from those who never even take the first step towards making their dreams materialize? How do winners stand firm in the face of iffy odds? Of critics all around or within? What do they look at? Wheres their focus? Winners have a different focus. They develop a healthy form of tunnel vision. They look at two things: their goals and their potential. Their present circumstances serve to motivate, or else are ignored. Well talk about goals later, but for now, lets take a look at potential. What is your potential? What could you do? Can you win?
Your answers about your potential point directly toward your self-image. Your selfimage is simply your picture of yourself, your evaluation of your potential, of your abilities, of your worthiness to succeed, of your limits. Some people seem to come by a healthy self-image naturally; most of us need to work on improving how we see ourselves. The great thing is that theres nothing in the world that can keep you from improving your self-image. You cant do much about what youve believed about yourself in the past, but you have complete control over what youll believe now. What does it take to improve your selfimage? The first step is deciding to consciously work on it, deciding to adopt a winners image. For some, this seems like a selfish indulgence. They struggle to imagine that wanting to win, wanting to succeed,
wanting to live an abundant life could be anything other than a foolish, ridiculous pipe dream. Nothing could be further from the truth you were created to grow, to improve, to fulfill a glorious purpose, to do mighty things. The desire to get better is perfectly natural and healthy, because it aligns with reality. You were created to enjoy an abundant life. Your success in life can never exceed your self-image, your beliefs about what you can achieve. Its time to forget the past and start NOW to shape a new, winning self-image. How do you see yourself succeeding in: Relationships? Finances? Physical health? What do you tell yourself about your potential in these areas? How successful can you stand to be in all these areas? What would your big dream look like for each
area? Have you trapped yourself in a box because of how these areas look today?
Relationships
Take a minute and imagine your closest relationship. Forget what it looks like right now. Just imagine what it would look like at its finest. How would you speak to one another? What would you do together? How would you feel about that person? What would people say and think about you two when they saw you? How would you spend your time together? Remember, dream big here youre imagining a relationship so great that people would take notes, that youd be an example others would follow. On a scale of 1 10, this would be an absolute 10 of a relationship. Now take a few minutes to write about what you saw. Dont listen to the little voice that says, Yeah, but right now, that relationship looks like Youre designing
the ultimate relationship right now. Were talking potential. Include details. Whats it feel like? What do you sound like to each other? What do people say about the way the two of you relate? Whats it like to be together? Whats it like when youve been apart and see each other again? Luxuriate in your fantasy, wear it like a silky robe.
Finances
Lets youre do the same free thing from with your finances. Imagine financial abundance completely financial concerns, theres always enough money to do what you want to do. How much money would that be for you? What would you do with it? How would it feel to look at your bank account, seeing that amount in the account? Who would you like to help financially? What would it feel like writing a check that could change peoples lives? Where would you live? The beach? The mountains? The city? What would your

Chapter 5 Better than New Years Resolutions

The whole point of setting a goal is to help you bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be. If you set goals and work toward them diligently, you can have all the things you want. People who set and achieve their goals are people whove decided what they want, committed themselves to going after it, and havent let anything stand in their way short of violating the rights of others. A proper goal gives you all the incentive you need to grow in your awareness of being a perfect expression of an Infinite power, designed As for you excellence become and more abundance.
welcoming and aware of your relationship with God, and of all the potential thats been built into you, youll function more
effectively in harmony with the laws of the universe. Living in synch with all of this will yield results youve never dreamed possible. They say that awareness is curative. It gives deep meaning to life because it spells the end of your robotic existence no more walking in the deep ruts formed by your harmful programming and counterproductive thought life. These old ways of thinking arent ways youve chosen they were planted in your heart when you were young by your parents, teachers, and religious leaders. While some of these programs serve you well, many of them are harmful and ready to be replaced. The old way of living has kept you from a truly abundant life. But, in order to truly change, your old habits have to be replaced with new, healthy practices. Having a solid goal in place serves as a constant help as you do
this. In fact, without a specific goal, youre unlikely to ever make a significant change in your life. While youre on your way toward achieving your goals, you learn to choose which thoughts youll allow into your mind. Youll see the connection between these thoughts, the feelings and attitudes they produce, and ultimately the results they yield. Its not something someone else can do for you. Ever notice how your life never really stays the same? Youre either improving it or damaging it your actions arent neutral. As a spiritual being, your spirit constantly seeks expansion and greater expression. When this deep desire is thwarted, you experience a feeling of dissatisfaction. That feeling is unpleasant enough to serve as a good motivator. We hate feeling unfulfilled, and work diligently to escape such an unpleasant feeling. Well do pretty much anything to satisfy this need.
This
need
for
fulfillment
goes
way
beyond just things and money although they are important. They give you comfort and opportunity. It goes beyond happy feelings or a sense of peace although theyre important, too. Our drive for complete fulfillment includes these things, but goes so much further its a deep desire for a big purpose, something that catapults you into creativity, into meaningful and effective service. Great you were created to pursue worthy goals. How do you set them? How do you go after them? What can you do to make sure you achieve these grand goals? Half the battle with goal-setting is determining exactly what it is that you want. Sounds easy enough you answer that question just fine at a restaurant, on your birthday, when you get your hair cut. But when it comes to the big what do you want question, minds go blank. We dont
know whats okay to ask for. Whats too much? Am I overreaching? How am I going to feel if I ask for something thats beyond possibility? Wow, such bad programming we pick up! Ask any little kid what they want to be when they grow up and youll hear answers like: the President, an astronaut, a gazillionaire, a cat, a rock star. Nothing seems impossible; nothing seems like itll come back to haunt you if it doesnt work out. Deciding what you want is risky. Telling someone else can feel uncomfortable. You might feel like youve got to preface it with something like, Please dont tell anyone Can you keep a secret I know it sounds crazy, but But you know what? People who set and achieve awesome goals are risk takers theyve learned to be. They know that theyve got the privilege and duty to design their own lives, make their own decisions. They dare to dream, and
dream big. The power is in going after what you want, not in going after what you need. Think you dont have what it takes to meet your goals? Then heres some great news youve already got everything that could ever be necessary to produce amazing results in your life. Youve got access to all you need whether you see it right now or not. So, dont worry about that as you choose goals. Assume you have every resource you need, right at your fingertips because you do.
List Your Goals

Creating great goals starts with brainstorming. Heres a great way to draw your goals right out of your heart. Make a list of thirty goals. Doesnt sound like much, probably, but you might be surprised how challenging this can be. It all depends on what youve told yourself about your potential, about what can happen, about
what can be yours. Imagine youre at deaths door for a minute what are the things you think youd wish youd done? What taken? The answers to these questions help you form a catalog of your hearts desires. These are the things youd do and have, places youd go, people youd help if you had unlimited time and money. Its what youd do if you had access to unlimited ability and creativity, incredible support from your family and friends. Write goals that excite and inspire you. They may feel completely unrealistic, but it doesnt matter put them on the list. Think about why you want what you want. What are you really after? How will it feel when youve achieved it? How do your goals express your values? The only thing that can grow, is the
legacy
would
you
like
to
leave
behind? What chances do you wish youd
thing you give energy to. - Ralph Waldo Emerson The very first step toward achieving any dream is becoming aware of it. Your list will grow and change as you do. Include on your list: Goals about your work Your money goals Your social goals Your physical goals Goals for your minds development Goals for your family life Spiritual goals Its a great idea to keep a three-ring binder full of your goals. This way you can add and rearrange. Sort your goals by category. Go back and prioritize your list. Then pick your #1 goal. This is the granddaddy of them all. Make it specific and clear. Write it
down on an index card so you can carry it with you. Also write it, in great detail, on a sheet of paper for your goal binder. Spend some time with this goal, picturing it in all its glory in living color, using your Vision on Demand technology. What ripple effect does achievement of this goal have in your life? Picture it as if its already happened. How do you feel? How do you talk about having achieved that goal? How do you think about yourself as someone whos achieved that glorious goal?
Give Yourself a Deadline

Next, you set a deadline for achieving your goal. Sounds scary, because what if I dont reach my goal on time? Lets take a look at that. Monica decides she not only wants to shed pounds, she wants to run in a marathon. She can practically feel the elation of crossing that finish line, her
feet aching with the effort, but energized by her success. She gives herself nine months to prepare for the big New Years Day marathon, planning out a detailed training schedule. She registers for the race and gets to work. Month after month she trains, getting her middleaged, post-childbirth body into shape. December quickly approaches, and shes not quite ready. She knows she can make it three-quarters of the race, but is just not ready for the whole thing. Shes tempted to give up because, after all, she didnt make her deadline. But she knows theres three another weeks marathon she scheduled later
registers for that race, continues her training and by marathon day she is ready to go! So, did she fail? She didnt make her deadline. But what purpose did her deadline serve? By having it in place, she could plan
and
schedule
what
needed
to
happen
between now and then. She could gauge whether she was on track for achieving her goal. She made huge strides from where she started, and although she missed the deadline, she soon afterward achieved her dream. A goal is a dream with a deadline. Napoleon Hill
Whats in your way?

For most goals you set, you can see off into the distance and identify obstacles that are very likely to arise. Usually, its no surprise when we run into barriers. Your likelihood of moving past these blocks is greatly improved when youve planned for them. Youve got the answer, a great strategy, right in your pocket and ready to use. In your plan, determine what skills or tricks youll need to keep going. Who might
be able to help you? What resources will benefit you and keep you going?
Whats the next step?

Youve got to have a plan. What do people do when they dont know what to do? Nothing. You cant expect to achieve your goals without some good planning. Its your plan that helps you turn your good intentions into action. Work with your calendar. What steps do you need to take? When will you do them? What will you do today, this week, this month, this year? How will you commit yourself to these actions? How will you evaluate whether youve done what you set out to do? This is one great aspect to having a success coach. They dont set the goal you do. They dont work toward the goal you do. But they do know just the questions to ask you to keep you on track. They can hold you accountable for
the commitment you make to yourself, help you break down this big dream into bitesized action steps, and keep the whole thing in perspective when you might tend to get bogged down in the doing of it.
Focus, focus, focus

Theres a thing called auto-suggestion, and by regularly reviewing the details of your goals, youre doing it. Youre firmly planting an image of achieving this goal into your mind, into your sub-conscious. Youve made a massive deposit into the vault, and now its going to start vibrating, attracting results thatll bring it to fruition. Make this process work more efficiently by rewriting this goal in great detail every day for a month. Use your Vision on Demand technology to imagine it, and turn it over and over in your mind, adding in all of the sensory details. What are the sounds, sights, smells, tastes, feelings of achieving
this goal? Spend time with your goal daily, because doing this is like fertilizing the seed youve planted. Keep the weeds away by rejecting thoughts that contradict your goal. Protect it. You dont want to parade your dream in front of people who dont get it, and dont support your efforts. Theyll spray their toxic beliefs all over you, and youll have a harder time if you allow yourself to be exposed to that. By getting your goal crystal clear in your mind, down to the smallest detail, and by picturing yourself as already having achieved it, you put yourself into a great vibration. Understand that by doing this, you have your success already in your mind and your emotions. All that separates you from having it physically is time. How much time? Just the right amount and probably less than youd imagine. How will it happen? The how will appear if you stay focused on the what of your goal.
How is none of your business. - Les Brown There will be days when your goal seems impossible. If your goal is big enough, youll run into obstacles. Most obstacles are big enough to stop most people in their tracks. Youve got to want your goal badly enough that you wont let go. The emotional ups and downs of going after something big are just part of the journey you learn to course-correct, to find more effective ways to go for it. Your job is to take massive, meaningful action in the direction of your goal. Carry your goal with you literally by writing it on an index card. Just knowing its with you, just touching that card in your pocket is enough to remind and recharge you. Focus on your vibration and your actions rather than results, focus on your vision. Keep
walking, running toward your goal day after day. If a person advances confidently in the direction of their dream, and endeavors to live the life they have imagined, they will meet with success unexpected in common hours. - Thoreau
Celebrate!
As you move forward toward achieving your goals, youll hit milestones along the way. They are worthy of celebrating! Just like when you take a long walk on the beach, it can feel like you havent made any progress when youre walking. Stop now and then to look forward and backward, and youll see how far youve come. When you celebrate your success, you signal to your mind that youve accomplished the goal, that its finished business, and that youre ready to move on to the next goal. Plan your rewards before you even get started,
and include them in your Vision on Demand as you focus on your goal. The feeling of success reinforces your ability to succeed!
Rinse, wash, repeat

As you achieve your goals, its important to spend time reflecting on the process. Who did you become? How did you change and grow? How did it feel when it was a work in progress? How does it feel to have completed it? What new skills and techniques did you develop? Now that you have successfully achieved your goal its time to set another goal. In your quest to be, do and have more, you enter into a continual process of setting and fulfilling goals. Youve learned a system of achievement that you can put to work for you with any goal you choose.
Chapter 6 Become the Master of Your Habits

Everyones got habits. Some are annoying cracking gum, talking while chewing, leaving the toilet seat up. Others are harmful smoking, drinking too much, gossiping. But, some habits are helpful, good, and excellent exercising daily, getting enough sleep, flossing your teeth, leaving early for appointments. You werent born with any habits at all, but acquired them as you grew. This is great news, because it means that no matter how tough any particular habit seems to break, you learned it and you can un-learn it, too! Successful people have good habits. They tend to have a high level of selfcontrol. People who live frustrating, defeated lives have habits that have taken over and gotten ugly. These habits seem
like giants, in full control of our every waking moment. If you have a good understanding about how habits are formed, and a systematic plan for changing your habits into ones that are beneficial for you, youve got a great start on achieving your goals. People who are bent on success arent the type who follow the path of least resistance. They know that some things in life take hard work and self-discipline. They understand the concept of delayed gratification. Delayed gratification means attacking a situation with the full knowledge that its a front-loaded prospect. The hardest, worst part of the task comes first. The reward comes last, but its well worth all the effort that came before it. Most habits are formed when we short-circuit the process and are unwilling to put off receiving the reward. In failing to delay gratification, we accept a far
inferior consolation prize instead of the shining glory we could have had. Johns dreamt for years of driving a BMW. Hes got a keychain with the BMW emblem on it. Hes got a gorgeous black BMW on his computers screensaver. He even opened a special bank account into which hes made some payments toward buying his dream car someday. He vowed to buy one as soon as he could pay cash for it. He makes a good living, and knows he can do it soon. The problem is Johns spending habits. Even when he was little, his parents used to joke about how if he had a dime, it would burn a hole in his pocket. He feels compelled to spend it if hes got it. Each weekend, John goes out and spends lavishly dinner and drinks with friends, clothing and gadgets whatever strikes his fancy.
One day, John starts wondering why hes not moving faster toward owning his dream car. He knows its because hes overspending in other areas. He decides to add up all that hes spent in the past year. After doing a little math, he sees that if he had saved what he spent just on these weekly extras, hed have had enough to buy that car months ago. John traded the pleasures of the moment for the dream of his heart. Its the same thing for people trying to lose weight, stop smoking, start exercising, or tackle any other unhelpful habit. If you want to make changes in your habits, you have to realize that its a matter of timing do you want a little reward now, or a big reward after youve done the work? Most people can easily make a list of dozens of habits theyd like to either have or get rid of. They know what they need to do; they know its time to clean house.
Doing it, though, is another question. Mixed all together, this wish list seems impossible. Its too much all at once. But one by one, a persistent person can gnaw away at this mountain of change. Making changes in our habits takes selfdiscipline. Discipline means training that develops self-control and orderly conduct. Sometimes it seems like it would be easier to control a wild gorilla than to control yourself. The easiest thing in the world is for us to take the quickest path to satisfaction. This is why advertising works so well promise us anything thats pleasurable, anything fast and easy, anything that makes us feel better, and were there! Like an out-of-control toddler, we demand our immediate satisfaction and the part of us that might be inclined to say wait or no gets run over. The more often we give in to our childish demands, the harder it gets to deny ourselves. The toddler in us gets used
to having it our way, right away. The sane part of us eventually gives up. Whats the use? Our cravings, our habits feel like an unstoppable force.
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. - Aristotle Part of becoming someone who is wise, mature, and successful is learning to master the power of self-discipline. It involves applying all we know, all the best tools and techniques, every resource available to us to free ourselves from habits that entangle us. It involves finding the motivation to rid ourselves of habits that endanger our quality of life, our freedom, and our ability to succeed. It involves becoming willing to be aware of whats really going on, of facing our needs directly and finding appropriate ways to have them met.
Research shows that new habits can be formed in twenty-one days. It works the same no matter whether its a bad habit or a good one, whether its a habit youre trying to add or to get rid of twenty-one days is the magic number. Its like burning a new route through your brain cells, building a better road. Once the habit is there, its the most efficient way to go like a rut in the road, its hard to jump over the edge and go a different way. Use this information to outsmart your bad habits. The twentyone day timeframe is the foundation for a life in which you are the master of your habits. Can you list seventeen habits youd like to add or stop in your life? You can probably add many more than that, but well start with just seventeen. In one year, all of those seventeen can be firmly established in your life. How would that feel? Every twenty-one days, youll add a new habit. You use the
same process, no matter what the habit is, and stick with it for twenty-one days. How would it feel to have seventeen habits under your complete control in a year? Youll feel like a super-hero! Heres what you do. First, make a list of the seventeen habits you want to tackle first. Be detailed on your list. What kinds of things would improve your quality of life? Your health? Your bank account? Your relationships? Your spiritual life? You dont have to prioritize these habits yet, just get them on paper first. Dont exclude habits youve unsuccessfully tried to change in the past. Write everything that will improve your life. Second, youll need to prioritize your list of habits. Since you will only work on one habit at a time, you get to choose which ones go first. Using the twenty-one day plan, you focus on changing just that one habit during that time more than one at a
time would be counterproductive. Over the next year, youll constantly be working on changing one habit. Third, take a look at your calendar. Counting off increments of twenty-one days, assign dates to your new habits. Mark every twenty-one days on your calendar with a star, sticker, or big dot to remind yourself that its time to tackle a different habit. Now lets start with your first habit. Write out, in detail, what youd like to see. Describe something you do now that youd like to stop, or something you dont do now that youd like to start. What do you want to accomplish? Remember to describe only one habit at a time. Think about people you know who have this habit licked theyve quit smoking, they exercise regularly, they are great with money, they always make time for their family and friends. Whatever it is, someone you know has got this habit right. The point
in doing this is to make you realize others have gone before you. There are people out there you can model your behavior after people who are doing just what you want to be doing. Make a list of every way gaining this new habit, or getting rid of an old habit, will benefit you. Dont just focus on the facts, include how youll feel. They say its the sizzle that sells the steak this is your time to write sizzling, compelling reasons why you shouldnt wait another day before having this habit down cold. Whats in it for you? Pretend youre selling yourself on this habit. You Write even descriptions want to that any some advertising agency would be proud to print. may include statements about the reverse, too. What are you missing out on by not having this habit under your control? Wheres the pain? Whats it costing you?
Next,
you
want
peek
at
your
opponents hand what can you expect to come your way that may threaten to undo you? When youre that you making involves are a run for something gratification, delayed guaranteed
opportunities to blow it! Where might you trip? What do your danger zones look like? How do you plan to handle the temptations that arise? Without a plan, youre pretty much sunk. With a plan, you can press on, ignoring what lies in wait for you. Put your finely honed decision-making skills to use. In the heat of the moment, youre not likely to make the best decisions. But, if youve decided in advance (cut off all other options), you will be the master instead of the servant of your habits. If you dont have a solemn commitment ahead of time, youll be at the mercy of the situations that come your way. This way, youll see
temptation coming a mile away, and stay faithful to your decision. Temptation believe this, it will come your way. No sooner than you commit to changing a habit, and youll find yourself smack dab in front of the opportunity to quit. Temptation comes your way through other people, TV, what you read or listen to, your own bodys cravings, and your brains resistance to change. The voice of temptation whispers to you, and if that doesnt work it screams. Here are a few things that voice will say you can plan on it:
This is silly. You shouldnt worry about that habit. Its not hurting anyone look how many people live with this habit just fine. Youre going to upset the whole balance of your family, your office, your (fill in the blank). This is a whole lot of trouble for nothing. What were you thinking? Why on earth did you think you could change this habit? Youve tried this before and its never worked. What makes you think this time will be any different? You should just face reality and learn to accept your faults. Nobodys perfect, and you should just get over it.
Youve gone about this all wrong. Youre being way too extreme. You really should have approached this aiming for moderation instead of making such a big change. Nobody could stick to this plan youve created. Why would you do this to yourself? You can have just one (or do this just once). Youve pretty much got it beat, and you can definitely handle it. Once is definitely not going to kill you. Its not going to make a difference at all. Youve been doing so well that just this once isnt going to have any effect at all.
Wow, you really blew that solemn vow you made! Look at you youre completely out of control. Youve destroyed all that you worked so hard for over the past few days. Whats the use? You knew this was a bad idea to start with, and this just proves it. Give it up enjoy yourself. If you want to try again sometime, thats fine, but this go-round is already a disaster. You are such a loser. You should have known better than to try something like that. Youve never been able to lick this thing, and you never will. Youre hopeless. Dont even think about trying something like this again its always going to end in failure and disaster. What an idiot you are. At any point along this line of temptation, you can grab the reins and stop this wagon. You dont have to wait until the whole thing
crumbles in your hands even if thats whats always happened in the past. In fact, you should almost be glad when you start to hear these lies whispered in your ears, because ways it means never youre grown going before, after and something important. Youre growing in youve youre getting stronger. People are anxious to improve their circumstances but unwilling to improve themselves, they therefore remain bound. - James Allen What makes this time different from all the others? You. Youre changing. Youre growing. Youre getting better, wiser, more aware. Youve made a committed decision. Youve got a system in place you know the steps to take, and you know about the pitfalls youll see. Youre building a support system thats stronger than you. You may
even
have
coach
the
ultimate
accountability partner. Youre on a mission, fully equipped and ready to triumph over this thing thats dogged you for so long. More than anything, youre growing in your relationship with your Creator, drawing strength from how youve been created, using your mind, minding your thoughts. Youre connected, youve got power youve never had before. Youre walking straight ahead toward your goal, and are too committed to your success to be distracted.
Chapter 7 Multiple Sources of Income

Have you ever heard the advice, Build it once; sell it a thousand times? Celebrities have this tactic down cold. Based on their brand (themselves!), they land magazine covers, roles in movies, they write a bestselling book, design a line of clothing or home furnishings, put their names on fragrances, and even form a band and produce cds. It can get a little out of hand, but it serves as a great example of cultivating multiple sources of income. They built their image once, then used it many times to generate different sources of income. Even if you dont have magazine-cover looks, this is a great plan for you! With some creativity, and a mind thats always looking for and recognizing opportunities,
you can gradually generate many different baskets to put your eggs in. Once you understand how the process works, the basics are the same for any new venture you want to start. You can turn some of these cash machines into turnkey operations eventually. At that point, youve got some very exciting choices to make. Your income stream, after its become systematized like that, makes for a pretty appealing business opportunity to sell one great option. You may also decide to keep it for yourself, since in many cases the only work involved at that point is to open your mailbox to collect your checks. Either way, youve got a treasure in your hands one you created and built because you recognized an opportunity and took action. If youve currently got a job, understand that your second stream of income is separate from your job. It may be in the same field, but it wont flow through your
cubicle at work. For instance, if youre a teacher, you may want to start a tutoring business in your spare time. (Remember that you now have all kinds of spare time, since you cut your TV watching down to a minimum!) Youre using the same skill set, but youre doing it on your own time, for your own profit. You set up your tutoring business, designing it from the ground up, learn how to market and sell, how to price your services, how to handle customer service, how to get paid, and start bringing in extra money. Gradually, youll want to expand, so you learn how to hire other teachers to do some tutoring for your company. You learn how to hire someone to do the marketing and sales. You hire a bookkeeper. You do all this while you learn to lead your business. You dont have the same pressure as youd experience if you left your teaching job to start a business, because this is all on
the side. Your salary is still taking care of your ongoing living expenses. The money you collect from this second stream is the money that can start setting you free. That is, if you dont spend it! Use it wisely to invest in other potential sources of income instead. Start building enough of these sources, and youve got a rushing river on your hands. Before you know it, you wont even need your salaried job. Thats the key to financial freedom you dont have to quit it if you enjoy it, but at least youve got the freedom of choice. This is a secret weapon used by nearly everyone whos really wealthy. The wealth they have comes from many different sources even if it started with just one source. Theyre into stocks and bonds, real estate investments, joint ventures, building projects, tax liens, you name it! Theyre always on the lookout for new opportunities.
More opportunities come my way in a single day than I could do in a lifetime. Mark Victor Hansen So, how do you get started creating multiple sources of income? Look first at your own skill set, your own interests. Create a list of potential money-making activities and businesses. Sandys a registered nurse. She realized she could provide private duty nursing, she could become a midwife, she could provide doula services, or she could write an ebook and sell it globally on the internet all within her current skill set! Dougs a pastor. He decided to write a book and self-publish it. He marketed himself as a speaker and was hired to speak at colleges and universities all expenses paid. He joint ventured with some local businesses to provide services for weddings. He also hooked up
with a funeral home to be their pastoron-call for families without a church affiliation. In all of these, he served more and more people, using his talents and gifts while growing his income. Beckys a stay-at-home mom. She opened a daycare center, but she also could have created a meal cooking and delivery business, started a personal shopping or concierge service, become a professional organizer, or gone into network marketing. Nearly anyone can get into a network marketing business, so its an ideal way to add on multiple sources of income. In network marketing, also called multi-level marketing (MLM) and direct marketing, you can start your own business for a minimal cost. You have access to training, marketing materials, and often a turnkey website. Where buying a fast food franchise would cost anywhere from several hundred
thousand and up to a million dollars, starting an MLM business costs only a few hundred dollars. The beauty of network marketing is that you have the advantage of applying leverage. This means you get paid on your efforts, plus the efforts of everyone under you. You sell your product AND your business opportunity. Leverage is key to creating multiple sources of income. The wealthy use leverage to have their money work for them. If you start with no money, you can still create leverage by leveraging your time and effort. Another low-risk entry into the world of multiple sources of income is through internet marketing. You can start an online business from scratch, or, build an online business to market a product or service you are already selling offline. Say you sell a unique product in a little shop downtown. With a good website, some savvy internet
marketing, and a dash of affiliate marketing thrown in for good measure, you can take your business online. Affiliate marketing is a great thing for the affiliates themselves and the businesses, products and services they promote. Affiliate marketing is a web-based marketing practice in which a business rewards its affiliates for each visitor or customer brought to them by their affiliates marketing efforts.
Look at what you currently do. What topics and opportunities are you naturally drawn to? What are you good at? If you dont know, start by creating a list of all the things you enjoy doing, all the things you know you do well. Have a couple of friends compile lists about what you do well, too. See which things intersect, what comes up
on all of the lists? Thats a great place to start. Once youve got some possibilities nailed down, you need to evaluate them so you can pick one to run with. Youre looking for the most viable venture, the quickest path to cash, a great starter stream that you can use to learn how to do this over and over. Questions you need to address include: How much risk is involved? You want to start with a stream thats pretty much foolproof. You want success early on, because it will keep you motivated to learn, juiced to create more sources. You dont want to bet the farm on your very first time out of the gate because youre still learning. You should pick a stream thats less risky to start. As you get more and more savvy, you can take on projects with a higher risk-reward ratio.
How
much
time
is
involved?
Remember, youre not quitting your day job yet. So you dont want to start something thats going to leave you with no time to sleep. As your stream builds, youll be able to hire other people to work it full-time, and it will eventually get big enough that you can work it yourself full-time. But to start, youve got to choose something thats not going to take every moment of your free time to get up and running. Take your family into consideration, too, because if you neglect them, its not good for anyone.
How complicated is it? Since youve got your bread-and-butter job to consider, remember that your new income stream needs to be simple enough that you can manage it yourself at first. If theres a huge learning curve, this is not the stream you should start with. How much creative thinking does it require? This is something you want in your stream. You want to be able to express your creative mind through this stream of income, coming up with great ideas for the concept, the marketing, the customer-appreciation, the employee relations. Youll always do well when youre paid for your ideas, so you should make sure to pick a venture that gives you room to think.
How much profit potential is there? You need to do some figuring on this before you even get going. Learn how to revenue model, and get it on paper. The last thing you want is to go all out on a venture that never had a chance to make you money. How can you serve the most people possible? If you offer the best possible service to your customers, youll stand out above the masses. Its true that broadening your scope, learning to serve millions and thousands instead of tens or a handful of people is most profitable. Take care of meeting your customers needs wonderfully, and the money will flow faster than you can imagine.
What can you learn from this income stream? From personal growth, to practical expertise, your new income stream should stretch you. You will learn all the ins and outs of starting and running a business firsthand. Someday down the road, youll be able to teach someone else how to do it, too. The principles are the same no matter what ventures you start, so you want to be aware of what youre learning along the way.
Is this something you can duplicate? Your venture should be simple enough that you can easily expand, or duplicate your business. For instance, if you decide on a window-washing service, you want to be able to market and sell, building a strong customer base in one neighborhood. You provide the absolute best service anyones ever had. You then hire someone to do the window washing, after training them in all the finer points so that its just like youve cloned yourself. Then youre open for expansion. You can move onto the next neighborhood and do it again, and the next, and the next.
Is someone else doing this? Initially, this might seem like a drawback, but it can be a plus. If someone else has been doing this business profitably, you know it can be done. Youve got a potential mentor even if theyre not willing to mentor you, you can see what theyve done and copy it as you wish. But, you also need to establish whats unique about your service or product. When you can sum that up in a sentence, youve got yourself a unique selling proposition what sets you apart. This makes your business more appealing to potential investors, to affiliate marketers, and to potential partners.
How fast can you get it going? The longer and more-winding the path to your first dollar is, the more likely you are to abandon the whole idea. If youre able to get this thing up and running, generating some income quickly, youll feed off of the energy that comes from success. If you choose a business that requires a building, some construction, a bunch of inspections and permits, it can be a long road ahead. If you choose something you can do right away, youll get this first multiple stream under your belt in no time. After youve chosen a venture to go with, its time to move forward. The first task that lies before you is fun. Cast a vision for what you want your business to become. Once again, you get to use the powers of your creative mind to
design your life. Spend time picturing every detail you can imagine about this new venture. Whats it like going to the bank with a big check? Who is your ideal client? What do your happy customers say about how youve helped them? How energized do you feel while youre working on this business? Picture it all just the way you want it to be. Knowing how your subconscious works to bring into reality what youve designed in your mind, put that force to work for you. Bring your new venture to the table at your Mastermind group (see Chapter 8). The people in your group will likely have some great ideas they can share with you, and some have probably got some experience related to your venture. Your coach may be an invaluable resource in leading you through this process. Since all businesses are basically built using the same methods, you should avail yourself of everyone who
can help you build yours. Youll get some great ideas on concerns you didnt even know you had yet!
Be prepared!
Once you get going, and are looking at all you need to do, it can be overwhelming. This is especially true with the first venture you create. Your coach can help you pace yourself. Youve got to break up big tasks into manageable steps, then take those steps. The work is always front-loaded in a new venture. Its hardest when youre just starting out, and gets easier as you grow. Youll get smarter, more savvy, and more effective as your business grows. If you give up quickly, youll reinforce a habit of quitting. Thatll lead you nowhere. You need to be prepared to really work at it in the beginning. Dont let that scare you away
from your dreams. Be brave and get ready to work. Not only will you need to work at it, youll also need to spend some energy guarding your heart. The people around you may be telling you all the reasons why your idea stinks. Great ideas seem to attract putdowns like flames attract moths. Be careful who you share your dream with, and watch what you say to yourself about this new opportunity, too. It might seem impossible when youre down in the trenches, but you have to remember that its a matter of perception. Dont listen to those who say you cant do it their statement says a lot more about them than it does about you and your idea. Theyre looking at the past and the present while youre moving forward toward the future. Youre going to come face-to-face with some needs. Youll find yourself in need of an employee, in need of some equipment,
in need of some funding. Dont let that scare you and make you back down from your dream. Picture yourself as already having that thing that you need. Imagine yourself being grateful for having it; see how its helping your business. Put your request out there into the universe, pray for God to provide, and then watch what happens. Mind your mind, and become unstoppable. Far greater than any physical effort youve got to put into your business is the amount of mental power it requires. Hold your dream in your mind, roll it over, replay the tape of you succeeding marvelously, and you will eventually see this happen in the physical world, too. Once youve got your first multiple stream up and running, take what youve learned and do it all again. Teach others how to do it when you find willing learners of course, you learn best what you teach to
someone else. Just a friendly warning this can become addictive! The more frequently you do it, the better you get and the easier the whole process gets.
Chapter 8 Dont Even Think About Going It Alone

Say you want to learn to knit or box, for that matter. What do you do? You go out and buy everything you think you need yarn, needles, a pattern; or, boxing gloves, sweats, and something to cover your head. Then what? Plunge right in? Jump in and hope for the best? Hope itll just come to you as you go? Dont be ridiculous thats a sure-fire way to end up frustrated, tangled, and even injured. The first thing you do is go out and get a teacher, an advisor, a coach, and hook up with some other people who share your interest. So what makes you think you should go it alone as you dive into a whole new way of living? Do you think your very life is less important than learning the difference between a knit and a purl or a jab and a
hook? Of course not! Youve got to move past the thinking that says anything worth doing is worth doing alone! The best move you can make is asking for help from the right people. It doesnt point to some lack in yourself, as if you were less than enough in the brains, or skills departments. In fact, knowing who to call, and when to do it, demonstrates extra smarts. The top achievers in the world all have one thing in common a great team behind them. Coaching is, by far, one of the most effective and efficient ways to move ahead to success. Winners choose to hire a coach because theyre ready ready to succeed, ready to make their dreams a reality. They know that professional coaches can help them see their goals become reality more quickly, with a lot less stress and strife, and with results that are even better than they ever imagined.
What do you really want, anyway? Seems like a simple, innocent question, right? Yet lots of coaching clients start with this as their biggest puzzle. How can you work toward a goal you dont really have? Your coach has seen this a million times, and will work with you to discover what you really want, if you dont already know. Chances are that you want more than one thing. Your coach can help you prioritize your goals and create an action plan before you get moving. Coaches also help you see what potential obstacles lie in your path, and help you formulate a strategy to move past them as they arise. Nothing gets past your coach, and this works in your favor, too. Your coach will hold you accountable to doing what you say youre going to do. This is really important because of how much easier it is to talk the talk than to walk the walk. Talk is cheap, and your coach is there to keep you
accountable for taking every action you decide to take. Why doesnt everyone have a coach? Well, most people who dont have a coach dont get it and dont understand the value of personal coaching. Some think they cant afford to hire a coach. They look at the price tag and compare it to their bank account; they do the math and say, Nope. Thats their biggest mistake basing their decision on where they are right now. Coaching is a profession thats experienced huge growth over the past few years. Coaches dont stay in business long without having measurable success with their clients. If a coach has been around a while and can show how theyve helped others, you can bet they know their stuff. In fact, if you do some research, youll find testimonials from clients whove experienced a return on their coaching investment of more than 100%. Thats the
report across the board. Youll hear clients say, It was the best money I ever spent. I wish I did it sooner. Its a way of putting your money where your mouth is a way of anchoring yourself to your success plan. Chris held off on hiring a coach because she thought the timing wasnt right yet. Shes waiting for the stars to align, and her life to be in perfect order first. Chances are, her life will never be less busy, have less pressure and obligation, have less laundry and fewer meals to cook. Are you going to let your life get in the way of your dreams? Your coach doesnt have the power to stop the clock, but can definitely help you find more time. Youll learn how to wring the most out of every moment both in your business pursuits and personal life. Youll find yourself more effective, more present, and more efficient. You might wonder whether hiring a coach is the best possible use of your
money. I mean, isnt it the same, just reading a good self-improvement book? You can put that info to use on your own, right? Yes and no. Books are great they help you open your mind to new, more helpful ideas. They give good information. But, they fall short in one area. No book can magically bring about the results you want. Having information is necessary, but not sufficient to achievement. Only consistent, massive action moves you along the path to success. Dave fell into another mental trap that made him think he should hold off on hiring a coach. Hes stuck playing the blame game if only this circumstance or this person would then I could move ahead with my plan, hire a coach, and really go after my dreams. A belief system like this leaves you waiting, and waiting, and waiting. Since youre not in control of the universe, theres always going to be some sort of loose end that seems like an impossible hurdle to
clear before you move ahead. What can you control? Your thoughts, your actions, your attitude, your decisions. Its amazing how your circumstances seem to magically change after you commit yourself to your plan. Things have a way of falling into place after you take action. John shares a common mistaken belief that if he just works harder, hell succeed with or without a coach. Good luck with that! You may succeed, of course, but at what cost? You can trade your every working moment for money, work like a dog, and never take a break, but youll be left with calloused hands, a drained brain, and a family and friends that dont even recognize you. Your coach specializes in helping harder. you Youll work smarter how rather to than learn eliminate
activities that arent helping you, how to make space in your life for what really matters, and to align your priorities with
your calendar. Companies spend millions to hire efficiency experts youll get the same benefit for pennies on the dollar. Lisas putting off hiring a coach because shes settled. She settled for good enough rather than pushing on toward excellence. It comes from her desire to play it safe, to stay in her comfort zone. It leads to dreams that stay unfulfilled, that gradually fade away into vague memories. Most coaching clients start off as people whove experienced success. They hope to harness the potential available from being coached so that they can stretch even further, to reach higher, to live beyond what theyve ever dreamt possible. A coach can help you as you cast a vision for your life and business. Know how things often look easier on paper than in real life? The coach has that benefit. Because really, the complications that muddy the waters are really nothing more than obstacles
some real and some imagined. Your coach isnt in that boat with you, paddling through muck. Your coach can help you see the path you say you want to travel, without the distractions that entangle you. Coaches are experts at asking good questions. They help you find the answers you need for yourself, to solve problems out loud as you reach forward toward achieving your goal. So often, when were doing something weve never done, we kind of hit a wall. It looks insurmountable how on earth can you get past this barrier? Its so productive to be able to hash it out with someone whos not emotionally involved, someone whos seen it before, someone who knows just what suggestions to make. A great coach can help you design your life. They help you:
Figure
out
what
you
really
want.
Whats important to you? How can you meet that need? Communicate better with your family and people in your work so that everyones on the same page, everyones getting what they need. Master the art of goal setting AND goal achieving. Not just what you wish to accomplish, but also how you can do it. Where are you now? Where do you want to be in six months? A year? Five years? Whats your plan to get there? How will you know when youve done it? Being accountable. Did you do what you said youd do by now? If not, why not? What do you need before you can do what you said?
Stay motivated. Coaches are trained to learn what motivates different people. They know when to be your cheerleader and when to be your drill sergeant. Stay real. Your coach will tell you things about yourself that nobody else will. Your husband or wife, kids, and dog wont tell you that the reason youre having trouble is that you act like a jerk, but your coach can. Your coach works closely enough with you to provide valuable feedback, feedback you can use to grow and improve. Grow as a person and as a professional. What do you need to read? What do you need to listen to? What habits do you need to develop? Its a collaborative process you work together on you.
Be more productive. How do you work with your calendar? How do you get more done in less time? How do you focus and stay on-task? How do you bring about powerful results? Find your way. When youve had a huge paradigm shift, and youre going out into opportunities youve never even considered before, its good to have a guide. It can be pretty daunting when you try to navigate such an about-face on your own. Your coach is a great sounding board, a great question-asker who helps you to see what youre looking at.
Find balance. You are not just your work, or your family, or your body, or your spirit. Youre all these things, and sometimes it takes someone elses steady hand to help you balance the load. You need to learn to set appropriate boundaries, to be fully there at home and at work. Working with a coach is a collaborative process. You are team members working together with a singular focus Your Success! Your job is to be open, to always give your best and to be committed to taking action. Your coachs job is to ask you powerful questions and hold you accountable so that you discover what you truly want, get crystal clear on what needs doing, and create and execute a step by step plan that moves you toward achieving your goals. Your coach is a team member youll find to be vital to your success.
There are other types of people you need in your journey toward success. You can probably, eventually, succeed without them if youre that determined to be an island unto yourself. Itll just take you much, much longer. And itll be a harder road, because you wont have the benefit of being directed by someone whos already gone that way. Oh yes, and it might be kind of lonely, since so many of the people you currently hang around dont get what youre after. If you really dont want to turn your goals into tests of patience and endurance, if youd prefer to start seeing results sooner than later, find these people.
Professionals You Need to Know

How did you like Trigonometry? Calculus? Unless youre a complete math whiz, these arent just the names of some classes you had to take in high school; just the terms are enough to evoke awful memories. The
pain of sitting, staring helplessly at a formula, knowing youre supposed to understand. Pretty tempting to just pay someone to do it for you, right? In high school, thatd be called cheating. In business, and in your wealth creation plan, its called outsourcing. You could probably learn how to do all your own copywriting, accounting, finance stuff, and even minor legal filings. But if thats not your strength or your passion, its foolish to spend your precious time hanging out on that steep learning curve. Instead of eeking in the out a marginal of your improvement area
weaknesses, why not hire them out? Its a smart practice that frees your time and energy so you can go after exponential growth in the area of your strengths. This principle holds true for lots of things you CAN do, too. There comes a time when your creative time is worth much more than what
youd have to pay to have certain jobs done. Tasks like housecleaning and yard work are perfect examples how much more could you achieve during the hours you normally spend doing these jobs?
Mentors
A mentor is someone more experienced than you, someone whos been where you are, learned what youre trying to learn, someone whos doing what you hope to do. The relationship is a bit like with a coach, in that a mentor will help you formulate a plan, will be there for your questions, and serve as a great resource. But, its different, too your mentor is someone who does just what you want Its to a do, same field field or of occupation. narrower
connection, and you generally dont share all of you as much with your mentor as you might with a coach.
Its great to find a good mentor in most of the big areas of your life your career, your personal life, your hobbies, your spiritual life. Your connection with a good mentor speeds up your learning process. Youve got someone to emulate, someone whos done exactly what youre doing. Youve got potential mentors all around you, and most would be flattered if you ask for their advice and counsel. For a cup of coffee, you can hear all about their journey to success. You can also find mentors online through forums, groups, and newsletters. Its less personal, but very convenient. You can even find a mentor in a book. When someone writes a book about something youre trying to learn, you get pretty much everything theyve thought about that topic. You get their best answers, laid out logically and repeated as often as you need. Plus, mentors you meet through books dont
mind if you call on them in the middle of the night! The accumulation of great fortunes calls for power, and power is acquired through highly organized and intelligently directed, specialized knowledge, but that knowledge does not necessarily have to be in the possession of the person who accumulates the fortune. - Napoleon Hill
MasterMind Groups
This next group most likely will not appreciate a call in the middle of the night a weekly breakfast, lunch, or cup of coffee is more the norm. Its a mastermind group (no, you dont sit around playing that game with the tiny little pegs). What it is, is a group of people who meet together to help each other with a boost of brain power. Its got the good elements of a committee, without any of the red tape, conflict, or hurdles. You all put your minds together for brainstorming on each others goals and
challenges.
Its
cooperative
effort,
everyone there to help, to give, and to grow. The people in your mastermind group may come up with ideas to help you succeed in your plans. Here are some tips to help you get the most from your masterminding experience:
Choose a good group. It should go without saying that the most helpful people will be determined to achieve the same essential goals that you hold dear. Someone who embraces a philosophy thats really different from yours isnt a good match. Youre growing in your awareness of the abundant nature of the universe, of the power of the mind, of the unlimited opportunity that stands before you theyre still shackled to a scarcity mindset, good pessimistic You about want life, and you disinterested in personal growth. Not a match. people respect, who treat others well, who live in integrity. You also want people who will commit themselves to the group. It wont work if people are sporadic in their attendance. It requires some level of commitment, and the members need to know that in advance and agree together to hold the group as a high priority. Start
forming a list, then start talking to these people to gauge their interest. Set and hold your first meeting. While some in the group may be familiar with the mastermind concept, others will not be. Explain what you see as the groups goal, how you envision the group functioning, the commitment the group will require.
BNI (Business Networking International) is famous for its saying, Givers gain. Your mastermind group works the same way. Its not for everyone; and its not for people who are You out will there spend only lots for of themselves.
valuable time and energy helping the other members of the group, and youll also be the beneficiary of the other members creative thinking. It simply wont work with people who keep tabs, who want an immediate return on the time theyve invested. This group will function more like a team than a swap meet, and each member needs to be able to consider the others to be teammates.
Set some sort of attendance policy. Obviously, things come up vacations, sick kids, business trips but without an attendance policy in place, the smallest things will prevent members from attending. Agree on how many meetings members may miss. If someones unable to keep their attendance commitment, then the group is just not a fit for them at this time.
Organize some form of structure for the meetings. Without structure, the meetings have a tendency to be hijacked by more talkative members. Everyone will soon lose interest if only a few members have a chance to speak. Devise a meeting format and follow it each week. Have a definite ending time, too. These are movers and shakers, busy people value their time. A lack of organization is the surest way to see your group dissolve.
Be action-oriented. Yes, the mastermind group is supportive of each member. But youre not there just to talk. Youre there to strategize, to develop tactics and plans. Youre there to take the plans youve brainstormed and put them into action. Just like its easier to pilot a boat thats moving through the water than to turn one around thats anchored, youll see that getting into massive action beats the heck out of just talking about it. Also, think of it this way when you take the time to share advice or counsel with someone and they dont do anything about it, how likely are you to want to do it again?
Network
for
your
group.
Youll
find
yourself in a position to help each other with business contacts. Youll know these people really well in a short time, and will be a great advertisement for them. Be generous with your match-making open your contact list to the group whenever you can. Keep your lips zipped. This should be obvious, but as part of a mastermind group, youve been given a position of trust and should honor it completely. Loose lips are a horrible way to destroy your credibility and reputation. Many of the great achievers in history used mastermind groups. Innovators in business, sports, literature, spirituality all have a history of proving that the sum is greater than its parts. Mastermind groups are worth every minute you invest.
The Success Buddy

A success buddy is someone you know well. Its someone whos headed in the same direction as you. Its someone whos at roughly the same level of growth as you. This is someone whos feeling the growing pains, joys, and occasional abject terror that you feel because youre doing something new, together. Your success buddy is the one you tell about the great new personal growth book you just read, the wealth guru whos offering a seminar next week, how you worked to defeat some unwanted habit. You sweat out the details of how to balance your business and life. You share the tips your coach gave you. This is someone you trust, someone who gets you. Youre kind of laying it all out there, so youve got to be careful who you
pick. If you choose someone whos not interested in the growth youre after, youll find yourself defending yourself and dragging them along behind you. You want someone whos supportive, whos willing and able to be available and really present. The best success buddy you could ever ask for would be your spouse, partner, or a good friend. The need for a good conversation is impossible to schedule, and being together often gives you the luxury of unhurried talk sessions. A great way to help each other is to ask each other powerful questions. Powerful questions are questions that help you solve problems. They are questions that help get you unstuck. Rather than whining and complaining solutions. Powerful questions run along the lines of: about circumstances, these powerful questions move you along to find
What can you do differently next time? What are some solutions you can think of? Who do you think could help you with this? What do you need to ask for? What are you learning? How can you make this work? Whats good about this situation? Its a great idea for each of you to come
up with some accountability questions for yourselves, too. Exchange them, so that youre being asked the questions youve written. You may want to consider working through a great book together, discussing key points a chapter at a time. Sometimes, the a-ha that knocks your socks off is something your success buddy has taken for granted. Its a relationship builder to
learn more about how youre each wired, what was programmed into your mind as a child. It certainly clears up some mysteries as you see what makes one another tick! Also, you and your success buddy should plan something big to celebrate your success. If youre both reaching for a certain income goal, plan a celebration trip to coincide with your achievement. Success tastes sweet, and its all the better when you share it with a loved one whos been with you all the way.
Your future is in your hands

Now that youve read the entire book, its time for you to get to work with your most important success partner. You. Since you can read and read and read, and never see a change until you take action make a decision, right now, that you will develop a plan and put what youve
learned here into practice so you can be, do and have everything you desire. Congratulations! Your journey has begun. Where it ends is entirely up to you.
