WEEK 141: 3 STEPS TO ACHIEVE ANYTHING

Figure out the rules to win, then STICK to them to achieve anything you desire!

REFLECTIONS (learnings and actions): What would happen if you could "Achieve Anything!"Can you comprehend the power of that statement.Take a moment and really think about. What would happen if you were able to "Achieve Anything" you set your mind to...

How would your life be different? 
What changes would finally be present in your life? 
What things that you have been dreaming about, would now become a reality?
What I am about to tell you today can give you that very thing...
Literally, it will give you the steps to make your dreams a reality.
So lean in, take out a pencil and paper, and prepare to learn how you can start "Achieving Anything"!"

Now before we start, I want to tell you a short story about Doug Butler.Have you heard of him? Doug was the coach who took a last place rodeo team and helped them become the #2 ranked team in the country within ONE year. Incredible!

How did he do it? How did he take a team which was dead last, lacked self-confidence, and had low focus to one step below the best team in the nation?
Well it starts with self-image management - the visualization, mental rehearsal, and relaxation techniques to modify "who you think you are."

This had a domino effect and the team members started to increase their self-confidence and esteem, which in turn allowed them to reach higher levels of physical performance, and then led them to achieve the goals they set out for themselves.

Daily, consistent mental and physical exercises led to small wins, which built upon each other and gave them the confidence to achieve bigger goals.
The team who was "once in the cellar" started to compete at a higher level and was on par with other colleges who had high caliber cowboys and cowgirls.

Well, did you listen carefully...I told you exactly what you need to know to "Achieve Anything." (Jess you need to give me a little more...) Alright, Let's break this down to a more granular level. Similar to looking at the fine print with a magnifying glass, we will do the same with this story.

FIRST, you must train your automatic success mechanism, ie the grey matter between your ears, how to think properly. This is what is called Self-image management, or identity management.Consistent mental exercise (of course the right ones) allows you increase self-confidence and actually bring about physical changes.

The caveat here is you must have 100% belief "you are the person who will make it."  That is no problem when things are going well, but it is the elite who are able to see this clearly when things are going bad (perception) as well.

SECOND, success is built on success. Consistent small wins, lead to bigger wins, which allow you to win on a level never thought possible. Now every time you gain a win, a "success circuit" is wired into your brain. This becomes a great tool to help you achieve things you can not imagine, as attaching the fact you have already achieved something challenging or meaningful to something you can not see allows your brain to see the achievement is not just a possibility, but a definite event which can happen. You have 100% faith and the concrete, foundational belief you are the type of person who will achieve it! Similar to a magician, you can make things appear out of thin air!

THIRD, the last step is simple. STICK to your "Rules." What are your "Rules" well those are the actions which move you closer to achieving what you set out to.
Want to be healthier, well a rule might be to not eat junk, and eat healthy food.
If you were to STICK to this "Rule" you would become the healthiest you have ever been. Literally.

The key is you need to know what "Rules" to stick to, as sticking to the wrong ones will only lead to limited results, frustration, and allow the enemy of success to creep in...DOUBT (only needs a little space).

So there you have it. The Blueprint on how to "Achieve Anything." I can guarantee you can change your life in ways you never thought possible if you are able to consistently follow through on this three step process. Go back and read this again (and again), as I gave you some high level things to think about. 
Yet, mastering this will allow you to bring change to any area of your life and achieve success never thought possible. 
See you on other side....J

Top three activities that move me forward?

1. NMR - my daily success calibration.

2. Mastering Zen. Gluten free is the way to go and ONE meal a week is doable!

3. Changing thoughts to change beliefs, language, the way you show up, and the results that I create. 

Biggest lessons/learnings and corrections?

STICK to your rules! If you can do this "Anything is Achievable!"

What are you grateful for?

My current 9-5 job. Although it challenges me, it has given me the abundance in knowledge and resources to help take steps to making our dreams a reality!

PLANNING (Implementation Intention):  You will follow through 2X to 3X more likely to complete your weekly task than you normally would just by filling in the following statement.

I plan to complete the weekly task [day] at [time] in [location]. 

A reminder you might have to use multiple Implementation Intentions in order to follow through.

EXECUTION (strategies used):  From week to week, I use a combination of many strategies. There are always some which are used more than others depending on what comes up, but I wanted to offer a link to all them at once. 

My advice is to identify the I CAN'T statement you tell yourself during the most. Then find a strategy below the statement which resonates with you, and then start using it. 

Enjoy!
