Ancient Success Formula!

Ancient Success Formula!

As you know I am always seeking, studying and assessing different and varied manifesting and success technologies, tools and techniques to help you get your dreams and goals as fast as possible. 

All of which are in addition to your Vision Board foundation.

Recently I discovered this ancient 5 step formula to success* and couldn’t wait to share it with you…

Here are 5 steps to becoming 

and achieving:

1. Will. You must have the will to move forward on the road to your success.

Napoleon Hill -  Author of ”Think and grow rich” called this a burning desire.

2. GOAL. You must have a goal in mind, you must know what you want to do

3. PLAN. You must formulate a plan and have an image (of the end result) in your mind.  (sounds like a visionboard to me - Visualize, imagine it is possible.)

4. METHOD. How are you going to accomplish your goal. Many LOA teachers say to us don’t worry about the "How’s" because they will come to you when you focus and visualize. But this really gives you a head start to know by what method you will achieve your dreams. Will you be in business, become a doctor, lawyer, teacher, artist, take a cruise, an airplane or a train, hike in Machu pichu or Nepal? As you take action and journey towards your goals you can always adjust and improve the method.

5. ACTION. The method you choose will direct your activity. The goal you choose gives you the direction and as you take each day at a time you may discover short cuts and faster ways to achieve success or maybe something even better will unfold for you.

* With thanks and adapted from “Endless Light” by David AAron

"The way of the warrior is the way of action... the way of the wizard is that way of attraction"

These principles allow you to find balance and you will know when to be the warrior to go out and get your goals and when to be the wizard, to remain still and visualize and create the inner vision, be receptive and open to ideas and inspiration.

Now is your time to create a plan and look at YOUR vision board and decide

do you have the WILL, the burning desire to actually go out and get what you have on your board? Will you take the action steps required to clarify your vision, develop new thought habits and create the life you dream of?

I am sure you will!

Have fun and enjoy!

Wishing you an AWESOME APRIL

5 Things To Avoid - With Your Vision Board.

Anyone can cut and paste pictures onto a board, but very few people know what to do to actually materialize the dreams and goals they have chosen to put on their Vision  Boards.  Even fewer people know when they are “off track” or when their board is actually working against them.

How can a Vision Board, also known as a Treasure Map, Goal Board or Dream Board actually work against someone? Its easier than you might realise. Ever since the secret DVD bust onto the scene a few years ago people are practicing the “law of attraction.”

The law of attraction simply put is “like attracts like.” Psychologists explain that what you focus on expands… therefore many people assume that all they have to do is imagine and visualize the result they want, think positively and “presto” the results we desire will magically appear in our lives.  For some (around 5%) that is exactly how it happens, but for the rest of us we have to do a little more and be careful not to use the “law of attraction” in reverse, meaning attracting what we don’t want.

Below are the top 5 things to avoid when you want to manifest your dreams and goals using a visual tool such as a vision board;

1. Don’t believe it can happen.

The first thing you must ask yourself is.... Is this really possible for me? Can I believe that I deserve it? In order to attract and manifest your dreams you really must believe that it can happen for you. You must have that deep inner knowing and burning desire to achieve and have that goal. And truly believe that, it’s not a matter of IF only …WHEN?

 2. Don’t take action.

For some, their vision board will sit on the wall, the mirror, the fridge or even be hidden away in a closet …and again for around 5% of people, just because they have created their board, given their written goals and dreams a visual counterpart, it will be enough and their goals materialize, a little like magic! Actually, its not magic, it has a logical explanation but its more fun to think of it as magic! For the rest of us, we are going to have to do something to help the Visionboard work for us. For some, it will be doing a daily visualization practice, for others, creating a strategic plan of action. There are many personal development techniques that you can use that will help speed up the attainment of your dreams. Doing a daily practice is the key, its developing a new habit (or habits) that supports you in the journey towards your success.

3. Listen to others negativity.   

Attitudes are catchy. People have the ability to influence others and there is an old saying “birds of a feather flock together.” So make sure if you cannot surround yourself with upbeat, positively focused people, that you at least protect yourself from the rampant negativity that is out there. Have you noticed there are no “good news” newspapers? Bad news sells for some reason... 

4. Expect it all to go “smoothly” in a straight line.

This is the source of many shattered dreams and broken new years resolutions. When the going gets a little tough and the person doesn’t understand that in order to accomplish a dream or goal, there may be some learning or stumbling blocks along the way. Be open to the challenges and with them some growing pains. It will be worth it to  achieve your dreams.

5. Doing it for someone else.

This is huge in our society.... so many people are giving up their own dreams and compromising to placate or please others. You have a journey, a reason for being here, get in touch with what you truly desire.   Create your vision board and make sure that when you look at it… You Love It!      

Live the life you dream of by creating your Vision board, taking consistent and creative action and truly believe… you deserve to have your dreams come true.

What is a Paradigm Shift?

What is a paradigm shift?

First lets look at what a paradigm is, before we can learn how to shift one.

A paradigm could be described as a model or pattern, a template or a standard, or an archetype. 

It is usually applied to a certain way of seeing or doing things. 

A paradigm could be a habit.  People are creatures of habit, we tend to do the same things, in the same way for many years and often it is only through chance or crisis that we are willing change our ways. 

A Starbucks manager recently shared with me that as part of their (usually) excellent customer service they rely of the fact that people have a habitual way of being. Their customers usually come in at the same time of day and ask for the same drink and that is how their staff get to know the customers names and preferred drink in a  very short time. Hence the friendly warm familiar greeting when you enter a Starbucks... that is… if you are a regular at a specific store.

Societies can have a certain a belief system or paradigm.  Prior to Roger Bannister in 1954, no one had ever run a 4 minute mile and the prevailing belief in society was that it was not humanly possible.  But on that particular day the paradigm was shifted... 

(ref: http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/may/6/newsid_2511000/2511575).

A paradigm shift comes when science or an individual discovers a better, more efficient or different way to get the same or better result.

A classic story about a paradigm shift is the 4 minute mile. Because one man changed society’s perception of what was possible it opened the way for so many other people to also beat the 4 minute mile barrier.

Another example of a paradigm shift is when the digital watches were invented. For hundreds of years watches were made with small metal moving pieces. The way people read or told the time was to look at the watch face, which had numbers or markings from 1 through to 12, and then there were 5 small markings between each number indicating the minutes, and the small hand (or the short pointy thing) that moved around the clock face, pointed to the hour and the big hand (the long pointy usually metal thing) pointed to the minutes past that hour. This way we could tell when it was 15, 30 etc... minutes past the hour, or 12 minutes to the next hour etc.

And then one day someone invented an electronic digital clock and the way humanity read time shifted... But it didn’t eliminate the watches it just gave us more choices.

There are other paradigms shifts that will eliminate old ways of doing things...

When the horseless carriage was invented, it paved the way for cars and other motor travel that have eliminated using horses as transport, for most of the world.

These paradigm shifts are beneficial all for our ease of life, growth and evolution.

What about personal paradigm shifts?

What does it take for us to change our ways to invite growth and enjoy better circumstance in our lives? 

With a Vision Board You have a blank canvas to paint the pictures you desire

Personal change is often the most difficult. In order to change one must first be able to perceive a better outcome or result. And that is why I like to start with a vision board. A visual representation of your desired result.   




If we can first see in our minds eye and then clearly on a Vision Board, what we want, then we can imagine and discover or comprehend a different way to get us what we want.  

There’s and old saying…
 “if you always do what you have always done, then you will always get what you have always got.”

It may seem blatantly obvious, when you put it that way, but change can be hard for many people.

There is a story about a farmer who was using Oxen to pull his plough through his field to till the soil and the one day someone brought him a tractor.  The farmer could not understand the benefit of the tractor…  

WHY?

You might ask.  Because the farmer had hooked the oxen up to the tractor and it was really heavy to pull. He didn’t know that he was meant to put the plough behind the tractor and drive the tractor. The tractor was to replace the oxen... not the plough.  

Where in your life are you being challenged to replace an old way of doing things, an old way of thinking an old belief system that no longer serves you.


Where are you being invited to step up, to become more than who you are now in order to achieve your dreams and the success you dream of?

In order to achieve your hearts desires what paradigms need to be shifted to give you a new and better, more efficient way to live your best life today?

With guidance, support and patience you can shift gears, change paradigms and live a full and happy, prosperous life.

Motivation and YOU.

Motivation and YOU.

What motivates you? What gets you up and out of bed and ready to “seize the day?”

There are two basic motivation strategies:

2 motivation strategies either the Carrot or the Stick

1. Moving towards a goal - towards pleasure- the carrot
2. Moving away from a negative - away from pain - the stick

Neither one is right or wrong.  It is just the way people are programmed. If it is a learned behavior or a natural preference, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that you know what - 

“Gets you going!”

Watch out for those people who say “Oh No”… you must be positive! Not necessarily so. 

Yes it helps to have a positive expectation and as far as the law of attraction goes,

Like attracts like and what you focus on expands.

So watch out if you are running away from the negative please look at and focus on the pleasure that you are actually

running towards. 

Too many people are backing into their future. They are walking away from troubles, problems and pain 

and not turning around to see a bright and happy future.

If you are aware of your motivation strategy and it is a “move away from”then you can turn around … face the future

and move towards the pleasure, the vision and it will be easier to take your focus off the negative and turn 

your back and move away from the negative and the pain.

Your Vision Board is the visual representation of a bright, positive and happy future. When you gaze at it, 

when you meditate with it, when you focus on it… check in with yourself and ask am I happily moving towards this goal and dream or am I running away from a current pain.

When you do this you will feel your inner or core energy and your core motivator, you true motivation strategy.

It’s not good or bad right or wrong, it just IS… And what’s great is, now you have an awareness of how you work!

Socrates said “Know Thyself” 

Whichever strategy you use to get yourself going, once you understand yourself -

You will be able to work with your Vision Board even more effectively.

Vision Board Success Tip - Creating Space.

Here is a Vision Board Personal Growth Quick Tip from: 101 Vision Board Tips for Personal Growth   (a new service I offer to my valued subscribers)

   

Creating Space.

Overwhelm, too many spinning plates, 

so much to do… so little time, 

so many projects, emails, phone calls...

Does any of this sound familiar?

Dr. Deepak Chopra said so many people just rush their lives away 

and a futurist friend of mine (someone who studies society 

and forecasts emerging trends) said “busy” is the new status symbol.

So many “time saving devices” have just enabled us to do more 

and jam more activity into our already busy day.

A simple and yet really effective way to give yourself more space,

allow a feeling of freedom and to give yourself a “breather” …

is to CREATE space on your Vision board.

It may sound too simple, but simple works and the subconscious mind

the driver of your unconscious beliefs and habitual behaviors 

will perceive the extra space on your board and you will be amazed 

how the space will then start to appear in your life.

If you cant remove any “too busy” pictures from your Vision board,

try trimming the edges of the pictures you have and give yourself 

the space that way.

Let me know how it goes....

Celebrating Your Success!

YOUR MONEY OR YOUR LIFE?

YOUR MONEY OR YOUR LIFE?

Which one would you spend to:

• have your dreams come true, 
  
• become a huge  / overnight success, 
  
• have, be or do whatever you desire?
  

The #1 reason people don’t have what they want is because they don’t have…

a )enough time to invest

b) enough money to invest

DO YOU BELIEVE THAT?

Most people you meet are willing to invest maybe one … but not both.

The most successful people in the world invest BOTH…

TIME AND MONEY!

They study, learn, grow and invest in their personal development and education

to become who they want to be and the best they can be, 

… armed with knowledge and practical application and 

a ”never give up” determination and passion to achieve exceptional results.

If you have limited time, then you can invest your money to get the best training programs and personal coaches to fast track your success.

If you have limited money, then you can invest in a home study training program and spend the time going through the proven exercises that are provided for you.

Either way if YOU choose a path and stick to it - you will succeed beyond your expectations.

“Your thoughts determine what you want, your actions determine what you get.”

Take action today … invest your money and hire yourself a qualified personal coach to fast track your changes and success, or purchase a self study program and invest your time …  to become who you want to be and achieve your dreams!

Either way you will get what you want - all it takes is your commitment and your focused, continued actions.

“If you don’t believe in you - Who will?”
