Starting With the Right Mindset
Think of yourself as a work in progress.
Actually, we all are.
If you stop learning and improving yourself you
stop creating history and become history.

Your Character Ethic and
Personality Ethic
The elements of Personality Ethic, such as
communication skills, influence strategies, and positive thinking, are essential for
success, but these are secondary, not primary traits. "You can pick up
quick, easy techniques that may work in short-term situations. But secondary
traits alone have no permanent worth in long-term relationships.
Eventually,
if there isn't deep integrity and fundamental character strength, the
challenges of life will cause true motives to surface and human
relationships failure will replace short-term success."1
Only basic goodness gives life to techniques. To achieve
great results,
focus first on yourself
your deepest motives and
perceptions and then on your techniques.
The Wheel of Personal Success
Put Your
Business Plan
Into Action2
One of the best ways to identify the actions that you're
ready and willing to take is by asking yourself
empowering and powerful questions. You do need to be sure that your
business plans are current and up to date. If
they need some time to freshen them up, then I invite you to do this first.
Now read through your business plans and get in touch with the positive
feelings you had when writing them. Once you feel in touch with your plans,
ask yourself one or a couple of questions. You may choose to use your own
questions or start with ones such as:
-
What one specific action would have the greatest impact
on bringing this plan to fruition?
-
What is the one action that I most need to take today?
-
What do I feel inspired and ready to do now?
Before asking the questions, quiet your mind
and be willing to listen to your answer. Once you've identified the actions
needed, get started now. This identifies the most effective action to take
in alignment with what you most want through your business plan. As you
build the habit of asking yourself these questions, you may want to add your
own or choose different ones.

Accept
full responsibility for the emotion. Even if you
don't fully believe it right now, tell yourself, "I Create
My Reality, and I am Creating this Emotion Right Now".
Usually, people never get beyond step one because they
actually believe that outer circumstances are causing their
emotions...

the question that dominates time management. This is the key to
overcoming procrastination and becoming a highly productive

NLP Technology of Achievement:
Circle of Excellence
This is a self anchoring process that allows
you to draw on resourceful memories to create a resourceful state. It was
developed by John Grinder, and these instructions are drawn from the
excellent NLP Field Guide Part I by Jules and Chris Collingwood.3
-
Identify the external triggers for unresourceful state. These should be
visual, auditory, tactile or smell or taste stimuli.
-
Build a powerful resource state using the circle of excellence technique. To
create a circle of excellence, draw an imaginary circle on the floor or mark
a circle in chalk large enough to step into.
-
Remember experiences where you felt powerful, creative, composed, or any
resourceful state where you felt balanced and centred.
-
Step into the circle only as quickly or slowly as you remember and re-access
the resourceful state through your inner senses, i.e. see what you saw
through your eyes within the actual experience, hear the sounds and language
used, and get in touch with the your posture, breathing and emotions when
inside the desirable resource memory. Note that an observer would see
changes in your physiology such as better posture, deeper breathing, and
skin colour changes. If there is no noticeable change in physiology the
resource state is either poorly accessed or low intensity. If it is low
intensity, choose anther resource state that is more powerful.
-
Repeat step 4 with an additional resource state, continuing to add resource
states one at a time. When you have enough resources, you step automatically
into a very powerful state on entering the circle, which is truly now a
circle of excellence.
-
Recall a trigger for the unresourceful state as you step into the circle of
excellence. Repeat process with each old trigger. Or ask your partner to
role play the various triggers (gestures, words, voice tones etc.) as you
step into the circle of excellence.
