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. ]

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.

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.

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

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