You have to believe you can do something before you would ever even consider doing it.  Why would you attempt to go out for the team if you didn’t think you could make it?  What does this tell us?  It tells us that beliefs always precede our actions – and more importantly it’s the beliefs about ourselves and our abilities that have the greatest impact on our outcomes.
Sooner or later, those who succeed are those who think they can.
Stephen J. Cannell failed the first, fourth, and tenth grades.  He couldn’t read and comprehend like the other kids in his class.  He would spend five hours studying for a test, then fail it.  Then he talked to a friend later who got an ‘A’ and asked him how long he had studied, and the friend said “I didn’t study at all”.  He could have come to the conclusion that he just wasn’t intelligent.

“But I simply decided, as an act of will, to put it out of my mind,” he told me.  “I simply focused my energies on what I was good at, and that was football.  If it hadn’t been for football, which I excelled at, I don’t know what would have happened to me.  I got my self-esteem from playing sports.”

Athletics taught him that if he tried hard enough at something, he could achieve anything.  Later on in his life he used this belief to start writing scripts for television.  Over time, he opened his own production studio where he created, produced, and wrote more than 350 scripts for 38 different shows.  Before long, he had over 2,000 people on his payroll. After he sold his studio several years later, he went on to write seven best-selling novels!

Just goes to show what you can do if you believe in yourself.  The choice of what to believe is entirely up to you.

The indispensable first step to getting the things you want out of life is to DECIDE – SPECIFICALLY what you want.

This may seem like an obvious step, but you’d be surprised by how many people only have a vague idea of what they truly want. “I want more money”, “I want to be happy”, “I don’t want to live like this anymore”. The first two statements are far too vague. If you got an extra hundred dollars you weren’t expecting, you’d have more money. In the second statement – define “happy”… And the third statement is focused on what you DON’T want! The universe – the energy that surrounds us all, cannot compute a negative or negation. The universe interprets the third statement as “I want to live like this more”.

Once you have discovered or identified your purpose, you must them decide specifically who you want to be? What do you want to do? What do you want have? What do you want to accomplish? What do you want to experience? Where do you want to be? (Next year, in three years, five years…) You don’t have to identify all of these, but the more specific you can be, the more likelihood you will achieve it. Think of your wants as a command to the universe – as if you are ordering something from a catalog or store where your description is so crystal clear that anyone would know exactly what you wanted beyond a shadow of a doubt. It is so clear that if someone were to follow your instructions or description to the letter, you would receive precisely what you have asked for.

You have to understand that vague desires produce vague results. Think back to a goal that you have set in the past and how clear your outcome was defined, compared to what you actually received or accomplished. The easiest way to do this would be if you want something that already exists, get pictures of it, whether it be a clothes, a new car, a new house, or whatever it is. In addition, have someone take pictures of you in the clothes, in the car, in the house – sending a signal to your subconscious mind, to the universe, to God that you already have it. This creates dynamic tension in the Reticular Activating System or (RAS), a specific part of your brain that drives your behavior.

When you were a baby, you knew exactly what you wanted and you either went for it with no fear, or perhaps in the beginning you simply cried or cooed for what you wanted and it was given to you. You knew when you were hungry and you knew what foods you liked and what you didn’t like. You had full confidence in expressing what you wanted. You had everything inside of you that you needed from the moment of conception.

Unfortunately, in many cases, early childhood programming often gets in the way of what you REALLY want. Inside of each one of us is the seed of greatness, the essential ‘You’ that you were meant to be. The sad fact is that seed may have been buried in response to your parents, siblings, grandparents, teachers, coaches or other well-meaning, or perhaps even not so well-meaning adult role models who didn’t know any better themselves as you were growing up. This early programming has unfortunately been ingrained into our subconscious and has become a part of our identity.

Although the word ‘identity’ sounds permanent, actually it can be reprogrammed through a specific process and you can create a new identity that is aligned with who you want to be.

Identifying, acknowledging, and honoring this purpose IS THE MOST IMPORTANT action successful people take. Successful people take the time to look inward at their JOY – their PASSION- what they LOVE to do – what they’re here to do – and then they pursue that with FERVOR and PASSION!

The ‘Secret’ to true happiness, joy, and fulfillment is to figure out what it is you LOVE to do as young as you can, and then organize your life around figuring out how to make a living do it!

What were YOU put on this Earth to do? So many of us miss this “First Step” and then we wander and drift through life, getting sidetracked and going off on tangents… I know, I’ve been there. For nearly half my life I only had an inkling of why I was here. It wasn’t until I took a concentrated and sincere introspection of what I really LOVE to do, what it is I’m PASSIONATE about, that I discovered my PURPOSE!

My life purpose is use my passion and creativity to motivate and inspire others to live their life on purpose, manifesting their vision through spirit and in harmony with the laws of the universe. To passionately embrace love and all forms of positive awareness and expression of joy in a harmonious declaration of one’s true self.

This is not merely a collection of “good ideas”. This book includes 64 of the most important success strategies used by thousands of exceptional young people throughout history. With the right tools, anyone can be successful. This book and workshop will give you the courage and the heart to get started and get ahead.

However, statistics show that 95% of people who buy a book, never finish it, let alone apply the ideas, strategies or principles that could change their lives. That’s why I’ve created “The Success Principles Plus! Workshop” to step you through the process of applying these profoundly powerful principles into your life to change your life for the better and create a cause set in motion that will not only change your life, but will ultimately change the lives of everyone you come in contact with.

Have you ever wondered why some individuals have so much happiness, energy, money, respect, and great friendships? Were they born with extra talent and abilities? Some people believe this, but we didn’t buy it. Instead, we discovered: Successes are NOT born; they’re made.

The “You” Factor

Each person who has experienced the rewards that these principles can offer had to first understand this concept:

We couldn’t have said it any better. In life, there are certain things we must do to enjoy the rewards. In order to get the most value out of this book, you must use the principles yourself. No one else can do these things for you. Whether it’s exercising, stretching, reading, studying, setting goals, visualizing your success, or practicing a new skill, you are going to have to do it.

We’ll give you the recipe, but you will have to cook the meal. We will teach you the principles, but you will have to apply them. If you choose to put in the effort, we promise you the rewards will be well worth it. That’s our promise to you. Now it’s your turn to make an agreement with yourself and commit to following through and acting on information you will learn in this program. I look forward to taking his journey together. It’s time to start living the life you’ve imagined.

You can’t hire someone else to do your push-ups for you. — Jim Rohn, self-made millionaire success Coach, and philosopher.

That’s Right: YOU MUST TAKE 100% RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR LIFE!

It’s going around like a bad flu. It’s infecting innocent people and restricting their potential. What is it? A shocking myth that we are simply entitled to a great life.

How could this happen? Well, many of us today believe that somehow, somewhere, someone (certainly not us) is responsible for filling our lives with continual happiness, exciting career options, entertainment, money, amazing friendships, and relationships because… Well… We exist. Isn’t that enough? We wish!

If you’re reading this page, were sure you’re aware that the answer is “No.” Unfortunately, life doesn’t work that way. There is one major defining factor that separates those who hope for a better life and those who have a better life. This determining factor is also the one lesson that this entire program is based on. Here it is: The only person responsible for the quality of your life is… You.

The straight facts.

If you want to be successful, retire early, gain the respect of others, and just have more fun, then you need to take 100% responsibility for everything that you do and experience in life. This includes the level of your achievements, the quality of your relationships, your emotions, the results you produce in and out of school, and the state of your health — yes, everything!

Life is like a combination lock; your job is to find the right numbers, put them in the right order, so you can have anything you want. — Brian Tracy, authority on human potential and personal effectiveness.

But let’s get one thing straight: This is not always easy. In fact, most of us have been conditioned to blame something outside ourselves for the parts of our life that we don’t like. We blame our parents, our teachers and our friends, MTV, the weather, or even the star sign forecasts! It’s crazy! Most of the time, we don’t even know were doing it. The truth is, the real problems or challenges we face usually have little to do with our “outside world.” We’re often scared to look at the source of it all… Ourselves.

In life, lots of people know what to do, but few people actually do what they know. Knowing is not enough. You must take action. — Anthony Robbins, best-selling author and inspirational speaker.

Sure, we will all experience our own unique challenges that happen out of our control, but taking responsibility means that we don’t dwell on the problem, ignore it, complain about it, or blame someone or something else for what we’re experiencing. Instead, it means that we take control of our thoughts and our actions and do whatever we can to improve the situation.

Sure, life’s challenges come in all shapes and sizes, but there is always something that we can do differently to change what we are currently experiencing. And we must first believe this before, we will find any solutions.

Whether someone is super successful or struggling to survive, the quality of their life depends on their thoughts and actions and beliefs. Do you notice a trend here? These three things all have to do with the individual — not the teacher, the weather, or the outside circumstances. The truth is, success starts with one person… That person is you.

Looking outside of yourself for answers to why you haven’t created the life you want won’t help you. You create the quality of life you lead — no one else.

99% of all failures come from people who have a habit of making excuses. — George Washington Carver, American agricultural researcher and educator.

Taking responsibility means more than just taking initiative and owning up to mistakes. It also requires that we stop making excuses.

As long as there are excuses, there will be no positive results. Think about it: every excuse is like pushing the ejection button on an airplane. The minute you push it, you committed to exit the plane. In that instant your headed in a completely new direction, leaving the opportunity for success behind. Excuses allow us to give up mentally and justify why something can’t be done or why we’re not good enough — and once that happens. Game over.

Like opposite forces of a magnet, success and excuses just refuse to work together. They simply cannot coexist. It’s either one or the other.

All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another. And regardless of how much you blame him or her, she will not change you. — Wayne Dyer, best-selling author and inspirational speaker.

Question:

What are two of the easiest things to do when we don’t get the results we want?

Answers:

1. Place the blame on someone or something else
2. Complain about it

How do we know this? Because we’ve been guilty of both of these things. Believe us, we know how easy this is. Anyone bold enough to admit it would also say that they, too, have fallen into this trap. But just because it’s easy, doesn’t mean it’s right.

The power of you.

Most people dance around the truth and deny that they are the reason for the quality of their life. If you want to be a winner, you have to acknowledge the truth — It’s you who took the actions thought the thoughts, created the feelings, and made the choices that got you where you are now. But here’s the good news: If it’s you who got you where you are now, it’s also you who can get you to where you want to be.

When ordinary people decide to do extraordinary things, they transform their lives and the lives of others around them. — Oprah Winfrey, Emmy award-winning host of the Oprah Winfrey show, the highest rated talk show in television history.

You can change anything and everything simply by doing or thinking something different. Einstein once said that insanity was doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Amen! If we continue to eat junk food, we won’t become healthier. If we continue to ignore our homework our grades won’t get better. If we continue our current behaviors our life will not get any better. It’s that simple, fill in the blank: “In order to change my life, I must first change ____________.”

The law of life.

If you truly understand this law of life, you will have complete control over your destiny.
E + R = O
No need to worry; this isn’t algebra. It’s much simpler than that. It stands for: EVENT + RESPONSE = OUTCOME

The basic idea is this: every outcome we experience in life (whether its success or failure, health or illness, happiness or frustration) is a result of how we have responded to an earlier event (or events). In our lives.

If you don’t like the outcome which you are currently getting, there are two choices you can make:

1), You can blame the events (E) for your lack of results (O). In other words, you can blame your parents or teachers your friends, your teammates, your childhood, the weather, racism, your lack of support, and so on. But how useful is the “Blame game”? Sure, these factors do exist, but if they were the deciding factors, nobody would ever succeed.

You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself. — Jim Rohn, self-made millionaire, success Coach, and philosopher

Michael Jordan would have never made it to the NBA. Helen Keller wouldn’t have been able to inspire millions of people. Martin Luther King Jr. would never have influenced our entire nation. Oprah Winfrey wouldn’t have had the country’s top daily talk show. Bill Gates would never have founded Microsoft. Need more? The list goes on…

Lots of people have overcome these so called “limiting factors” — so it can’t be these factors that limit you. It’s not the actual conditions or other people that stops us — it us! We stop ourselves. We think limiting thoughts, defend our self-destructive behavior, ignore useful feedback, waste time on gossiping, eat unhealthy food, fail to exercise, spend more money than we make, don’t plan for the future, avoid risk, and fail to tell the truth — and then wonder why our lives don’t work. As you know, this option is not beneficial.

2) You can instead simply change your responses (R) to the events (E) — the way things are — until you get the outcomes (O) you want. This is the option that creates wealth, opportunity, freedom, and so much more. At any given moment, we can change our thoughts, change the way we look at ourselves, and change our behavior — that’s the power of YOU. And that’s all we need to control anyway.

Unfortunately, for many people these factors are controlled by old habits. We tend to react without thinking things through. However, the moment we take responsibility and commit to making a change, we can take back that control. Its not something that happens overnight, but catching ourselves in the middle of a negative thought and changing our behavior just a couple of times each day can make all the difference.

If you don’t like your outcomes change your responses.

In the end. It’s not what happens to us; it’s how we respond that matters. And how we respond is completely up to us.

It’s like poker; you can’t determine the cards you’re dealt, but you can determine how you play them.

Creating today… Yesterday.

Pop quiz! What was the main point in the previous section?

Answer: Everything you experience in life — both internally and externally — is the result of how you have responded to a previous event.

When we explain this idea, it’s interesting to see how people respond. Some people are very quick to say, “What!”? Yeah, right… That’s not true!” The fascinating thing is the same people who react this way are often the same people who:

• Don’t have what they want in life.
• Get frustrated constantly.
• Have a lot of anger toward other people.
• Feel that they are doomed to fail no matter what they do, because life is out of their control.

The cause for all this stems from one thing: DENIAL. Seems like it’s an oversimplification, but take a moment to think about this. You’ll often hear these same people use phrases like this:

• It’s not my fault.
• Well, what do you expect? I’m just not that talented.
• If only other people had done their job, I would have succeeded.
• My grades would be a lot better if I had better teachers.

They’ve heard their own excuses for so long that they have created an “Alternative reality” — a reality that tells them that there is nothing they can do to change the way things are. And with that perspective, no wonder each day is a struggle.

Pay attention… RESULTS DON’T LIE.

The easiest and fastest way to find out if something isn’t working is to pay attention to the outcomes (O) we’re currently getting. We’re either getting good grades or were not. Were either healthy or were not. We’re either happy or were not. We either have what we want, or we don’t.

You either create or allow everything that happens to you.

Start Now!… Just Do It!

“Many people die with their music still in them. Why is this so? Too often it is because they are always getting ready to live. Before they know it, time runs out.” – Oliver Wendell Holmes, Former U.S. Supreme Court Justice

There is no perfect time to start. The best strategy is to just jump in and get started. Don’t keep putting things off, waiting for some sign from heaven before you began. Just start!

Three dogs are floating down the river on a log. One of them says he’s going to try to jump into the river. How many are left on a log? Most people answer “two” but that’s not correct. There are actually still three dogs on the log. Why? Because saying you’re going try to jump and jumping are two completely different things. All over the world, a lot of people say they’re going to try to get good grades, try to graduate from college, try to get their dream job, and try to make a ton of money, but they never truly decide to make it happen. In other words, they were just wishing or dreaming. When you truly decide, you cut off from any other possibility. When you decide, you have committed to take action and follow through and make it happen.

This means that even the best plans combined with a positive intent are not enough to get the life you want. You must take action and do something to move you closer to your goals. When the rubber meets the road, what matters most is what you do — not what you say you’re going to do. There are so many people with high hopes, big dreams, and good intentions. Why, then, do so few people get an extraordinary life? Because hoping and dreaming is not enough. To achieve our goals, live our dreams, and reach our potential, we commit to taking a step forward and putting our plans into action. In other words, we need to leap off log to get the results we really want.

Take that leap of faith.

If you want to accomplish anything in life, you can’t just sit back and hope it will happen. You’ve got to make it happen. — Chuck Norris, actor

It’s amazing how many people glue themselves to home plate by over analyzing, over planning, and over organizing, when what they really need to do is take action. The truth is, nothing happens until you take action.

Ready, fire, aim… this is not the typical protocol; you were expecting “Ready, Aim, Fire”, however most people spend way too much time getting ready, aiming… and never get around to firing. Get ready, then just fire — then assess your outcome, get feedback… adjust your aim, and fire again. Once you’re in the game and you’re getting feedback, you can continue to make adjustments until you get the result you want.

The truth is, nothing happens until you take action. It’s easy to spend years on the launch pad trying to get the trajectory just right, but sometimes we just need to take off and get going. So we can adjust our course, as we get feedback. We must be moving in order to move forward.

When you get started, you trigger all kinds of helpful things. You’ll start getting valuable feedback, and you learn new skills, you’ll gain experience, and you’ll show those around you that you’re serious about achieving your goals. As a result, people will wake up and start paying attention to you. Things that were once confusing, will start to become clear. Things that appear difficult to become easier. You begin to attract others, who will support and encourage you.

Jump in and get started now, learn AND implement The Success Principles for Teens in your life, enroll in The Success Principles Plus!™ Workshop today! Don’t put it off! It’s all about implementation! It’s time to form the habits of success. When would ‘Now’ be a good time?

Talk is cheap — you can’t build a reputation on what you’re going to do. — Henry Ford, Entrepreneur and founder of the Ford Motor Company.

Winners are action oriented… the one thing that seems to separate winners from loser. More than anything else, is that winners take action. They simply get up and do what has to be done. Once the plan is developed, they start. They get in motion. Even if they don’t start perfectly, they learn from their mistakes, make corrections, and continue to take action until they finally produced a result they want.

A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow.

If we expand this concept, I would add, “and there really is no such thing as a “perfect plan.” The world is always changing, and as a result, or techniques will need to change as well. So just get started… you can adapt your approach as you move along.”

We’re covering a lot in this book and workshop; how to create a vision, set goals, anticipate obstacles, believing yourself, persevere, and visualize and affirm your success. Now it’s time to put it all into action. Get a mentor, write down your goals, and read them at least twice each day. Then fill out and submit that college application, start that savings plan, ask that special person out on a date, or book a trip to Europe! Life won’t get any better until action is taken.

If you do the things you need to do when you need to do them, then someday. You can do the things you want to do when you want to do them. — Zig Zigler, Motivational speaker and author.

You want to be in the restaurant business? Go get a job in a restaurant and start learning the business. You want to be a chef? Great! Enroll in a cooking school. Take action and get started — today! You do not have to know everything to get going. Just get in the game. You will learn daily.

Don’t get me wrong here. I’m a big proponent of education, training, and skill building. If you need more training, then go get. Sign up for a class or that workshop now. You may need a coach or a mentor to get you where you want to go. If so, then go get one. If you’re afraid, so what? Feel the fear and do it anyway. The key is just to get started. Quit waiting until you are perfectly ready. You never will be.

I started out my career as an entrepreneur in the car stereo business. I didn’t know anything about how to run a successful business, I just knew I wanted the freedom to call the shots, use my creativity, and serve the customer. I was far from the perfect business owner on my first day of operation. I had a lot to learn about inventory control, marketing strategy, how will avoid getting conned by a slick salesmen, how to confront pushy vendors, and how to motivate employees. But I started anyway. And it was in the process of running the business that I learned all of those and many other things.

Most of life is on-the-job training. Some of the most important things can only be learned in the process of doing it. You do something and get feedback — about what works and what doesn’t. If you don’t do anything for fear of doing it wrong, poorly, or badly, you never get any feedback, and therefore, you never get to improve.

When I started my next business in Atlanta, Georgia, I went to a local bank to get a loan. I knew I needed a business plan but I didn’t know what criteria the loan officer would require. So I did the best I could and took it to the bank. They told me there were a bunch of holes in my plan. I asked what they were, and they told me. I went back and rewrote the plan, filling me in the areas I had left out and filling in more detail where they were unclear or unpersuasive. I then went back to the bank. They said the plan was good, but they decided to pass on it. I asked the loan officer who he thought might be willing to fund the plan. They provided me the names of several bankers in the area they thought might be interested. Again, I went to each of the banks and presented my business plan. Each one gave me more feedback until I had honed the plan and my presentation to the point where I did find someone interested, but he wanted collateral to secure the loan. I asked everyone I knew and then some to get a backer who would be willing to put up the collateral to no avail. I never did get the loan, but I did learn a whole lot about the process.

You, too, have to begin — from wherever you are — to start taking actions that will get you to where you want to be.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. – Chinese Proverb

It is interesting to realize there are 137 words that contain the root word ‘action’. Do you think we as a culture value action? Of course we do, no change of current conditions would ever occur without someone taking action. In fact, according to Merriam-Webster, they define ‘action’ as ‘a thing done; an act of will; the accomplishment of a thing, usually over a period of time. For instance, ‘satisfaction’; the Latin root ‘satis’ means “enough”. Therefore, enough action ultimately produces ‘satisfaction’. Following this logic, you will never be satisfied until you take a lot of action!

Although we all appear different on the surface, underneath it all, we are all driven by a set of universal primal needs. It is why we do, what we do. We are all driven by our Six Human Needs – fundamental drives within each one of us — that compel us forward in a quest to experience a life of meaning. There is no conscious effort necessary, our will to satisfy these primal needs is automatic.

The Four Primal Needs

1. CERTAINTY – Everyone wants stability about their basic necessities — food, shelter, and other material resources. When people cannot control their physical circumstances, they may seek certainty through a state of mind (such as religious faith or a positive outlook).
2. UNCERTAINTY/VARIETY – People have a need to change their state of mind, to exercise their body and their emotions. Therefore they seek variety through a number of means — new stimuli, change of scenery, physical activity, mood swings, entertainment, food, etc.
3. SIGNIFICANCE – Everybody needs to feel special and important in some way. People will seek significance through obtaining recognition from others or from themselves. When people feel insignificant, they may make themselves feel significant by getting angry or taking aggressive action toward others. They may also meet their needs paradoxically, by having others recognize the significance of their insignificance or the size and complexity of their problems. It’s important to remember that for many, helplessness is power.
4. CONNECTION – Humans need to feel connected with someone or something — a person, an ideal, a value, a habit, or a sense of identity. Connections may take the form of love, or merely of intense engagement — for instance, one can feel connected by means of an aggressive interaction.

The Two Spiritual Needs

1. GROWTH – Everything in the universe is either growing or dying — there is no third alternative. People are not spiritually satisfied unless their capacities are expanding.
2. CONTRIBUTION – Just as people cannot survive without others contributing in some way to their welfare (no baby grew up on its own), they cannot be spiritually fulfilled unless they are contributing to others as well.

Click the player to listen to “My Purpose”: All my life I have always known that I wanted to be a ‘teacher’, but not a conventional teacher or even a professor.   I somehow knew that there was something or some essential knowledge or awareness that has been missing from formal education that people really need to know.   It was like traditional education, particularly K-12 and even many colleges were just providing us with just one or two dimensions of education.   Somehow I knew there was a third dimension and I was determined to find it. Through my research and studies I have been immersing myself in human potential, personal development, history, psychology, philosophy, and even quantum physics for over 30 years, and I felt I was near the tipping point of shifting my primary focus from being a student to being a teacher of the lost principles of human success.

It started with Psycho Cybernetics, by Dr. Maxwell Maltz back in the 1970′s, and since that time I have read, listened to (audio books), immersed myself in home study courses, participated in dozens of seminars, workshops, and more in search of the missing ingredients to make my life and the lives of others live up to our dreams of how we all believe – in our heart of hearts is what we truly desire.   I believe it was Napoleon Hill who said in the all time classic self-help book, “Anything the mind of man can conceive and believe, he can achieve”, and he is not the only one who has said this, but I believe it is true. I have studied the likes of Napoleon Hill, Jim Rohn, Richard Bandler and John Grinder (founders of NLP), Anthony Robbins, Earl Nightingale, Bob Proctor, Brian Tracy, Zig Ziglar, Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, Gregg Braden and many, many others. Recently I finally began to see glimpses of the ‘Big Picture’ – of what I have been striving for all my life.   I now see that many of the things I have done over the past quarter of a century were all ‘pieces in the puzzle’ of my life.   I could now see how I had to learn and experience all those different events in order to be ready to recognize that missing ‘dimension’ that’s been missing. We as human beings have some very unique and powerful higher faculties that differentiate us from all other forms of life known to exist.   To spell it out in clear definition, our higher faculties that make us unique in the universe are:

1. The Will

2. Imagination

3. Perception

4. Reason

5. Memory

6. Intuition

However, how many of you ever remember receiving any instruction on specifically how to use any of these higher faculties?   Our parents or teachers may have mentioned some of these, but they, like most everyone else just ‘assumed’ we knew how to use them.   Perhaps we have been encouraged to use our imagination, reason, and even memory, but not HOW to most effectively make the most of these incredible mental faculties. I don’t remember being taught much about the ‘Laws of the Universe’… perhaps I was out sick that day, or maybe I just missed that lesson.   How about you?   Can you tell me how many laws there are?   What are these laws?   Why haven’t I been taught about these laws?   How critical is it for me to know and understand the laws of the universe?   I think you may be able to infer that knowing and understanding the laws of the universe would be VERY IMPORTANT.   It’s kind of like playing a game and not knowing the rules, not knowing what’s really involved in playing or the true object of the game.   Not knowing the strategy of how to win… How can you win the game of life if you don’t know all the components involved?   It’s almost like believing there we are only playing with five senses… when in fact there may be six and we’re missing one of them. I’m sure you’ve heard the expression that ‘You need to think outside the box’, right?   Do you really understand what that means?   How many find it difficult to ‘think outside the box’?   It’s pretty hard – particularly when you don’t really understand the concept. Well, let me explain.   People and societies as a whole have certain ways of viewing how the world works, and these are referred to as ‘paradigms’.   That’s all a paradigm is, it’s a framework within which society (and the people in that society or culture) perceive the world to be.   In order to ‘think outside the box’, you have to step outside those cultural or societal paradigms, and that’s not easy for many people.   Our paradigms give us a feeling of certainty in how the world works.   Fortunately, or for some ‘unfortunately’ paradigms shift over time because the universe and our awareness of it is constantly expanding.   Paradigms shift when the current paradigm can no longer explain how or why something happens in the world around us. So let me get back to those ‘Laws of the Universe’.   There is but one ‘Great Law’ namely – “Energy Is”, or as theologians would say, “God Is.”     All physical and mental science is based on this one great law and its seven subsidiary laws which operate in harmony and coordination with each other.

1. The Law of Perpetual Transmutation

2. The Law of Relativity

3. The Law of Vibration

4. The Law of Polarity

5. The Law of Rhythm

6. The Law of Cause and Effect

7. The Law of Gender

Perhaps the best definition of ‘Natural Law’ is that it seems to be ‘The uniform and orderly method of the omnipotent God.”   They are the laws which govern the universe and everything in it.   I’ll explain each of the laws in more detail in a future post. Anyway, after watching and reading The Secret a few years ago and then studying the works of some of The Secret teachers, it hit me – what has been missing is our understanding and awareness of just how each of these laws operate and how they affect all of us.   After all we, like everything in the universe are subject to these laws. I am now compelled to share this material with the world; particularly young people who have their whole life ahead of them. I wish I learned this material when I was in school. So, as part of my commitment to you, I’m offering a six-week experiential program that I call the Success Principles Plus! Workshop, to personally teach you and other like-minded individuals how to use the most powerful success principles handed down through the ages.   By participating in the Success Principles Plus! Workshop, you’ll gain the insights and skills needed to create MAJOR breakthroughs, moving you closer to your goals and the quality of life you deserve in 2010 and beyond. I have carefully chosen what I believe to be the most powerful transformational processes, allowing you to increase your clarity, focus and power, as well as help you develop the momentum and support necessary to achieve success for the rest of your life. These are the foundational principles you need to create success, regardless of the goals you’re pursuing.   I will also teach you the latest breakthroughs on The Power of Intention and thought as it relates to the creation of your physical and financial results.   This information about how conscious intention affects your deepest desires goes far beyond what is discussed in The Secret … and I will provide the simple, yet missing, ingredients you need to make the Law of Attraction work in your life.

The Top 4 Reasons Why People Don’t Achieve the Success They Desire

During the workshop, we’ll actively discuss four of the biggest reasons people don’t achieve the success they want:

Reason #1 You Lack Clarity Around Your Purpose, Vision and Goals.

You cannot effectively pursue success without these key elements. It is the difference between driving “south” and entering a specific address into your GPS system for turn-by-turn instructions. The clearer you are about where you’re headed, the easier it is for you to get there.  During the Success Principles Plus! Workshop, you’ll identify and align your purpose and your vision with your goals. Not sure how to find your purpose? Watch Dr. Wayne Dyer’s movie “The Shift” and it could be just the shift you need to understand your purpose for being here. You can order the DVD or even watch it online.   Be confident in knowing we will do some exercises that will help you identify your true purpose, and it will be fun.

Now I am the Voice. I will lead, not follow. I will believe, not doubt. I will create, not destroy. I am a Force for Good. I am a Leader. & Defy the Odds! Set a New Standard! Step Up!

Over the years, many clients and students have come in to work with me, and at the end of the day, they realize that the reason they haven’t accomplished their goals is because their goals don’t match their purpose and vision. This is a great breakthrough because from there, we are able to effectively establish, clarify and align their goals, which enables them to go to the next level effortlessly.  Download a free copy of Bob Proctor’s Purpose, Vision, and Goals because this topic is of vital importance to your success in life. Your ‘Purpose’ is like the cornerstone upon which you build your life and your success. Knowing your ‘Purpose’ becomes the core of your existence. Everything will revolve around your purpose. And what’s beautiful, is that everyone has a unique purpose, and if we all live our lives on purpose – the world will be a very different place. You can also listen to an MP3 recording of Purpose, Vision, and Goals an audio recording from one of my mentors, Bob Proctor on Purpose, Vision, and Goals.   Also, if you learn better through audio and you’re like me, and don’t particularly care to read books, but instead love to listen to them, check out Audible through one of the two banners below.

Reason #2 You Don’t Have a Solid Foundation; You’re Missing One or More Components Needed for Long-Term Success.

Using any single success tool is better than using nothing. But creating a piecemeal success plan delivers inconsistent and limited results. To climb to the next level and achieve success in all areas of life, you need a complete system. The Success Principles Plus! Workshop is designed to deliver the core principles of success in step-by-step order, making it easier to create a solid foundation for success. If you’ve ever wondered how your purpose and vision work together … whether it’s better to use visualizations or affirmations, or both … the difference between objectives and goals, the Success Principles Plus! Workshop will give you the clarity and framework you need.

Reason #3 You’re Stuck in Your Comfort Zone

What you want is just outside of your reach. To get different results, you need to do things differently and truly believe and KNOW that it is possible. During the Success Principles Plus! Workshop, you’ll see clearly how your limiting beliefs have created a comfort zone that is actually limiting your success. By obliterating these beliefs, you’ll dissolve the confining boundaries of your comfort zone, putting success easily within your reach.

Reason #4 You Don’t Have a Plan

Writing down your goals is just the beginning when planning your success. Yet, that’s all most people do – if that much.   During the Success Principles Plus! Workshop, I will teach you what separates the ordinary from the extraordinary by helping you create a detailed step-by-step plan for transforming your vision of “success” into a reality.   Once you’re clear about what to do, it becomes easy to make incremental progress toward your goals by taking action that effortlessly creates success.

  Craft your Breakthrough Goal!

The Success Principles Plus! Workshop is ideal for groups of any size. The impact and sharing are powerful for sports teams and other student organizations who need to maintain a high level of motivation and commitment to their performance. In fact, I highly recommend that you come with your friends, family, colleagues, teammates and other people you spend significant amounts of time with, scholastically, professionally or personally. And I’ll tell you why … because people who are serious about getting to the next level personally or professionally know that a key factor is having the support and enthusiasm not just on the inside, but on the outside, as well. You want your team, your brothers and sisters, and your friends right there with you, operating with the same mindset, new insights, awareness and tools to catapult you to the next level of success. Doesn’t it just make sense to have your team operating from the same space? It’s so much more fun and exciting. I know because my staff and I do this kind of stuff together all the time. It always brings us closer as a group, builds team spirit, and without fail, we end up generating a lot more success. You have my guarantee: No matter who you bring along, they will be inspired and motivated to achieve greater success in every area of their life, whether it be personal or professional.

You will start to witness them do the following:

• Take 100% responsibility for their performance … rather than you needing to motivate them
• Invest every day in developing their knowledge base and core skills … so continual improvement becomes the norm
• Manage time the way successful entrepreneurs do (Watch your team’s productivity soar!)
• Take concrete action every day toward their sales and performance goals
• Focus and grow their unique abilities and skill sets
• Achieve and maintain a high level of motivation and passion
• Celebrate their victories as a way to ensure future success
• Shake off rejection and renew their commitment to achieving their goals
• Change their outcomes by reacting differently to any event
• Decide what they want … and enthusiastically pay the price
• Develop and trust their intuition and reasoning abilities
• Transcend other people’s limiting beliefs and opinions about their goals

Create a Culture of Success in Your Family and School

The success principles you’ll master during this six-week workshop are also invaluable for the X and Y generation. Today’s kids are barraged by negativity, peer pressure and stress, often sending the message that working hard and having goals is “uncool” or too much effort. I can’t tell you how many times I hear “If I had only learned this in school, who knows where I would be now!” Have parents who could benefit from learning these Success Principles? Why not immerse them in these principles by bringing them to The Success Principles Plus! Workshop with you. Not only will they gain life-changing tools, the experience of attending this workshop will open their eyes to how unlimited their life can be too. If you come as a family, imagine how powerful the results will be when your whole family is living by The Success Principles!

The Workshop is alway interactive

What You’ll Learn

The Success Principles Plus! Workshop is designed to help you make dramatic shifts – in just 90 minutes per week. In addition to short lectures, you’ll participate in experiential exercises, writing exercises, partner processes, guided visualizations, personal sharing, limiting belief and emotional release techniques, and more. Rather than merely learning what to do … you’ll practice using these techniques during the workshop, so you can walk out the door with your new knowledge and skills cemented in your mind!


During this dynamic event, you’ll discover these important lessons:

First things first. How starting your day with intention guarantees greater success through these simple steps.

1. The relationship between mindset, skill sets, and your environments. When they are in sync, you can accomplish just about anything and have it last.
2. A fail-safe, step-by-step process for setting your goals and specific exercises to make sure you achieve them.
3. Techniques to identify and eliminate the mental and emotional blocks that are holding you back from having the life you deserve and desire
4. Methods to identify, attract and utilize the people, resources and opportunities that await you
5. The surprisingly effective way to put paranoia to good use… and why adopting this approach to life helps attract unexpected opportunities and assistance

… and much more.   Through my own work and experiences, as well as the thousands of studies I’ve read, repetition IS the key to success.  And let’s face it – implementation can be difficult when you’re working on your own with only printed words as your teacher.  Dozens of participants from the previous workshops shared that they had read many books on Success but they still haven’t achieved the level of success they desire and deserve.

Your “Secret Weapon” to Maximize Your ROI … and Thrive in a Down Economy. If you’ve ever participated in a workshop or seminar, you know that one of the biggest challenges is maintaining momentum and enthusiasm once you get back to your “regular” life. It’s very easy to slip back into old habits that don’t support your pursuit of success – especially when the people in your life don’t understand what you’re trying to achieve and how you want to change your behavior. During the Success Principles Plus!^TM Workshop, you’ll have the opportunity to form and utilize a follow-up mastermind group. The team you pick will give you the support and encouragement you need to stay focused, aligned and productive after the workshop. An even better approach is to start building your Mastermind Group before you get to the event. Identify the people – friends, relatives and colleagues – who already share your attitude and commitment to success. Then invite them to join you at Success Principles Plus! Workshop! Using a mastermind group is one of the most important things you can do in our shaky economy. In fact, I do this myself … and so does every other success teacher and industry leader I know. A mastermind group is critical to your success because the media drown us in negative news about layoffs, plummeting stock prices and dismal forecasts. It’s very easy to feel fearful, depressed and worried. But if you want to attract and create more to be positive, happy and grateful about … you must keep a positive emotional state. It will be far easier to do if you surround yourself with people committed to doing the same. That’s why I want to help you build your own “homegrown” Mastermind Group. To help make it easier to persuade people close to you to join you at the Success Principles Plus! Workshop, I’ve arranged to let you reserve an additional ticket at a $50 savings! Discover the Proven Principles for Success … for less Than 68 Cents Per Day.

2010 Can Be a Stellar Year … If You Allow It

I know many people who read this letter are being affected by the media’s dire economic predictions, the struggles of the past year, and the fears voiced by friends and loved ones. But a struggling economy doesn’t have to dictate your level of success. To thrive regardless of what happens in the world around you – the world that you cannot control – it is key that you center yourself in an attitude of gratitude … stay focused on your goals … take new actions … learn new skills … and develop new habits. By maintaining a positive and joyous emotional state – and a laser-like focus on what you want to attract – you’re practically guaranteed to achieve your goals. And that’s exactly what you’ll learn how to do – and practice doing – at the Success Principles Plus! Workshop. Whether your top goal is to get straight A’s, become a self-made millionaire, or publish a book … or you most want to build your dream house, lose weight, or find your soul mate, the Success Principles Plus! Workshop delivers the tools and framework you need to make 2010 your best year ever. You’ll complete the workshop inspired about your personal and professional potential. More importantly, you’ll leave with the tools and personal plan of action that will completely transform your life into exactly what you want it to be. P.S.
