Step 1. Define the Target Improvement

Target Improvement:

[ I want to improve my focus and learn to think strategically]

What will this do for you? (What are the ultimate benefits you’ll gain?)

[Business ideas will be strong and complete. I will have the clarity and the CONFIDENCE to execute my ideas.

There will be a fluid process with automation.]

What will that look like? (Describe in graphic detail)

[There will be a clear business plan. There will be a road map with benchmarks and deadlines.

I will be able to live the life of a successful business owner who has the freedom of time and money.

I can spend time with people I love, and spend money I wish to spend on!

I can wake up and go to my computer and have a ton of sales waiting for me to transfer to my own bank.

I will get to work from my beautifully furnished home office with Hi Def web cams for meetings.

I will get to bring Shirley and Luther on fun trips overseas and really have an exciting fulfilling life travelling!

I will get to spend the money on lifestyle with my BMW 745 Li

and Condo with pool view

and nice tennis courts. I will be able to spend the money on stylish clothes that make me feel handsome and important. I will be able to pay for tennis and gym personal coaching to get my target body .]

Step 2. Define Your Combined Approaches
There are many ways to change the self leading to the same outcome. For example,
there are many ways to modify the diet for fat loss (low carb, raw foods, high protein,
vegetarianism …). The TAFT Loop doesn’t mind which approach you use. Our job is to
ensure you actually use the approaches you select.

THINKING
What must you believe to make it so? What
must you picture in your mind to make it so?

[ I must believe that I have the ability to build a successful business.

I must picture in my mind coordinating with a team of people to make things happen. I am also meeting up with other entrepreneurs to leverage on their success. I must picture in my mind that I am focusing wholeheartedly on building my business. ]

Tools to Accomplish That

Elance.com to make things happen that I am not that good at

My journal to remind me what I wrote to promise myself and pictures to inspire me.

Library of books to learn whatever I need to learn for business success

Personal notebook to jot down what I want to make happen

MP3 player to let me learn on the go

ACTING
What must you do to make it so?

I must spend my waking hours to make it work instead of watching stupid time wasting online videos!

I must hire the outsource company to make things happen quickly and efficiently. I must develop my plan of action and execute and adjust along the way. No more coming to a grinding halt.

I must block out time that I am productive to do work. There must be more time spent on working on my business than watching mindless videos.

My productive time is before lunch and after family sleeps.

Tools to Accomplish That

Elance.com, audacity, blogging, report writing, Jingproject

FEELING
How must you feel to make it so? How will you make yourself feel that way?

I must feel that I can do it. I can successfully build a business that is profitable and fun. I will perform the tasks that I enjoy and makes a profit. Eg: teleseminars, seminars, interviews, blogging, writing. I must feel that I am still in control of my financial life. I must take on more jobs to earn some income for stability first. I must take on more tuition jobs. I must create quick cash injection products. I will create at least 2 quick info pdts and 1 coaching program.

Tools to Accomplish That

audacity

Flexsqueeze sales letter

Cash Injection Copy Formula

Elance.com for transcription of audios

Jingpro for quick video guides

TALKING
What must you say to yourself to make it so? How must you talk to others to make it so?

I must tell myself constantly that I have made a promise to my family and I will honour it. I will ask myself,

“Are you a talker or a doer?”

“Am I taking action that moves me closer or further away from my target?”

“What is my target at this moment?”

I will talk to Shirley and Dom about the projects and I am moving forward. I will contact the coaches and update them on the last action I took.

Tools to Accomplish That

Email

Coach contact – tell coach that I want an accountability partner to keep me on track

Negative TAFT Loop Events and Antidotes
Write the things that you do that instigate negative TAFT Loops and write down the antidotes
(things to say to others to defend yourself, how to think about things so they don’t

THINKING

“I am not good enough”

“I cannot accomplish this”

“I am not credible enough”

Antidote / Alternative

Remind myself all the cool accomplishments I have achieved.

Trophies, what I accomplished in AK, getting an endorsement from Adam and Sant and Dominic Lee, mentoring Julieh, being a great teacher to students who still say that I am the best teacher they ever had. Being able to close deals and give Julieh and Grace commissions even after I am no longer their manager.

I will avoid switching on Shirley’s laptop in the morning. I will go straight to my laptop and read a chapter of Paul Myers ebooks, then go to simpleology. Then do one blog post. Then work on my business.

ACTING
What must you do to make it so?

I watch too much online tv. I eat too much junk at home.

Antidote / Alternative

I must eat healthier. I will check out Shirley’s recipe book for simple meals I can cook for myself. I will stop watching shows while eating. I will read and eat instead.

FEELING
How must you feel to make it so? How will you make yourself feel that way?

I feel lost at times and dunno what to do next to earn income.

I will just follow the 7 day biz turn around plan and start a cash injection to my biz!

TALKING
What must you say to yourself to make it so? How must you talk to others to make it so?

Achieving the Goal

Pleasant things I’ll get:

  1. freedom of travelling around in my cars (Audi R8 silver, BMW 745 Li kalahari kaki)
  2. freedom of eating good food without worrying about cost
  3. freedom of hiring professional trainers for my tennis and body sculpting
  4. freedom of buying clothes that makes me feel good about myself (Hugo Boss, Raoul)
  5. freedom to spend the time at home and play with Luther

Unpleasant things that will go away:

  1. disappointment in myself that I cannot even consider bringing my family out for a good meal
  2. feel limited in my choices of transport when I really don’t feel like taking bus or train
  3. feel directionless without clear targets to work towards
  4. feel useless as a man who cannot give his family a good life

Not Achieving the Goal (How to eliminate them or make them unimportant)

Pleasant things I’ll keep:

  1. laze around at home (but i’ll feel like a fucking slacker and feel useless whenever Shirley or friends asks me how’s money coming along…)
  2. Get to watch my online movie downloads (not if I  have to go back to employment)

Pains I avoid:

  1. having to think and decide (which is dumb… since I like doing that actually)
  2. failing flat on my face (I’ve already let money run out several times, so I am actually not avoiding the pain but amplifying it by not making decisions)

How to Identify Your Goals

How to Identify Your Goals
By Brian Tracy

Here are seven goal-setting questions for you to ask and answer over and over again. I suggest that you take a pad of paper and write out your responses.

Question Number One:
What are your five most important values in life?
This question is intended to help you clarify what is really important to you, and by extension, what is less important, or unimportant. Once you have identified the five most important values in life for you, organize them in order of priority, from number one, the most important, through number five.

Question Number Two:
What are your three most important goals in life, right now?
This is called the “quick list” method. When you only have thirty seconds to write down your three most important goals, your subconscious mind sorts out your many goals quickly. Your top three will just pop into your conscious mind. With only thirty seconds, you will be as accurate as if you had thirty minutes.

Question Number Three:
What would you do, how would you spend your time, if you learned today that you only had six months to live?
This is another value questions to help you clarify what is really important to you. When your time is limited, even if only in your imagination, you become aware of who and what you really care about.

The Power of Clarity plus Bonuses
“Discover How Working Less Can Catapult You to Untold Business Success”
Why is it some people are wildly successful while you seem to be struggling to make more? For years I’ve coached top business people and entrepreneurs. I’ve worked face-to-face with them to improve every area of their life. These same techniques used in my coaching program are now available to you in this 6 CD program.

Question Number Four:
What would you do if you won a million dollars cash, tax free, in the lottery tomorrow?

How would you change your life? What would you buy? What would you start doing, or stop doing? This is really a question to help you decide what you’d do if you had all the time and money you need, and if you had virtually no fear of failure at all.

Question Number Five:
What have you always wanted to do, but been afraid to attempt?
This question helps you see more clearly where your fears could be blocking you from doing what you really want to do.

Question Number Six:
What do you most enjoy doing? What gives you your greatest feeling of self-esteem and personal satisfaction?
This is another values question that may indicate where you should explore to find your “heart’s desire.” You will always be most happy doing what you most love to do, and what you most love to do is invariably the activity that makes you feel the most alive and fulfilled. The most successful men and women in America are invariably doing what they really enjoy, most of the time.

Question Number Seven:
What one great thing would you dare to dream if you knew you would not fail?
Imagine that a genie appears and grants you one wish. The genie guarantees that you will be absolutely, completely successful in any one thing that you attempt to do, big or small, short or long-term. If you were absolutely guaranteed success in any one thing, what one exciting goal would you set for yourself?

WHY DO SOME PERSIST AND SOME QUIT? BECAUSE… by Jeffrey Gitomer

Today’s Message

WHY DO SOME PERSIST AND SOME QUIT? BECAUSE…
by Jeffrey Gitomer

Is there a secret to follow-up? No.
Is there a best way to follow-up? No.
Why do people quit too soon? Big question.
Why do you quit too soon? Bigger question.
Have you ever read Think and Grow Rich? Biggest question.

Reason? Think and Grow Rich (written by Napoleon Hill 70 years ago) has an entire chapter on persistence that provides real insight as to the characteristics of what makes some stick at it until they win, while others stop either just after they start, or stop just before they are about to taste victory.

Rather than be so presumptuous as to paraphrase the great Napoleon Hill, I am going to give you the EXACT words of the master.

Here are some excerpts (and insights) on persistence quoted exactly as they were written seven decades ago that are still applicable to your sales process today.

Persistence is a state of mind, therefore it can be cultivated. Like all states of mind, persistence is based upon definite causes, among them these:

a. Definiteness of purpose. Knowing what one wants is the first and, perhaps, the most important step toward the development of persistence. A strong motive forces one to surmount many difficulties.

b. Desire. It is comparatively easy to acquire and to maintain persistence in pursuing the object of intense desire.

c. Self-reliance. Belief in one’s ability to carry out a plan encourages one to follow the plan through with persistence. (Self-reliance can be developed through the principle described in the chapter on autosuggestion).

d. Definiteness of plans. Organized plans, even though they may be weak and entirely impractical, encourage persistence.

e. Accurate knowledge. Knowing that one’s plans are sound, based upon experience or observation, encourages persistence; “guessing” instead of “knowing” destroys persistence.

f. Cooperation. Sympathy, understanding, and harmonious cooperation with others tend to develop persistence.

g. Will-power. The habit of concentrating one’s thoughts upon the building of plans for the attainment of a definiteness of purpose leads to persistence.

h. Habit. Persistence is the direct result of habit. The mind absorbs and becomes a part of the daily experience upon which it feeds. Fear, the worst of all enemies, can be effectively cured by forced repetition of acts of courage. Everyone who has seen active service in war knows this.

How to Develop Persistence.
There are four simple steps which lead to the habit of persistence. They call for no great amount of intelligence, no particular amount of education, and but little time or effort. The necessary steps are:
1. A definite purpose backed by burning desire for its fulfillment.
2. A definite plan, expressed in continuous action.
3. A mind closed tightly against all negative and discouraging influences, including negative suggestions of relatives, friends and acquaintances.
4. A friendly alliance with one or more persons who will encourage one to follow through with both plan and purpose.

These four steps are essential for success in all walks of life. The entire purpose of the principles of the (Think and Grow Rich) philosophy is to enable one to take these four steps as a matter of habit.

Now I will grant you that some people will have read this and spit the word “Hokey” at the end. Reason? It’s too simple and does not have an immediate “how to” answer attached to it.

The secret of persistence is not an “answer,” it’s a “realization.” And if you read the above and didn’t “get it.” You will get beat by someone who did.

The Napoleon Hill philosophy of persistence is strong, yet soft. The only omission from the strategy is that it leaves out “what” to persist with. Let me give you that answer in a word — value. Something more than you calling to imply, “I’m calling about the money, is it ready yet? Can I come over and pick it up now?”

Want a few value ideas? Here are four. You may not like them. They require work.

Get your prospect a sales lead. Give your prospect an idea how to serve his customers better. Give your prospect ten things he can do to improve his morale, productivity, absenteeism, or profit. Get your prospect some free publicity or media exposure.

Get the idea? See the work? Now look past the work to the victory. If you can see clear to victory, then the secret of persistence is at last yours. And add to that the final wisdom of Hill: What you need to develop persistence is will-power and desire. In other words, how bad do you want it? And how far are you willing to go to get it? Unless the answer is all the way, you will not persist, you will give up.
