What’s in it for them?
Don’t limit yourself to the position you have today
Don’t limit yourself based on past conditioning
People are watching – even when you think they aren’t
How many of you are guilty of spending more time thinking about the past than living in the now?
I didn’t meet this people as SUIT AND TIE Christopher….because I wasn’t showing up!

Attitude towards:
Judgment
Honesty
Fear
Self-confidence/value
They told us to DREEAAM BIG then “Get your head out of the clouds”
We’re hear to CHANGE your conditioning
A lot of mixed messages screwed us up!
How you react/respond to a given situation will result in your attitude
You come to group and have a bad attitude
People sense it and push your buttons (BTW – there will always be button pushers in your life)
You react
You get into trouble
You get even madder
Get into more trouble
Do drugs to escape
More trouble
Addictions
You feel bad
Short term escape (feel good)
Feel worse for having done it
Do it again to escape feeling bad, but need a little more
Feel even worse
Do it again
Repeat
Seen it with food, drugs, alcohol,
(new slide)
The past does NOT equal the present. What most of us face is:
PAST
Conditioning
Judgments
Love withdrawn
FEAR of rejection
PRESENT
Comfort zone
Ignorance
Lazy
Excuses
Assumptions
Take for granted
Beliefs
FUTURE
Uncertainty
What if????
TODAY, we’re going to break through some of this nonsense!!!
Tiffany story
Video is 1min approximately
Who could REALLY use one million dollars right now?
I was talking with one of my clients the other day who has been really down and out, and I said “Would a million dollars make everything alright?” He said yeah, and I said what would you be willing to trade for it? How about your eyesight?
How about just $500,000 for your hearing? Legs?
Morale: You wake up a millionaire every single morning and you don’t even realize it!
Elephant story
The words you use will make you right!
Words don’t have meaning – we give meaning to the words
Negative words used repeatedly will negatively program our subconscious
They are excuses
Protection systems so they don’t get hurt or disappointed
Everything in life depends on how you look at it
“I just can’t work with so and so…”
“I won’t ever get through to so and so…”
“I am never going to make so and so understand…”
“We just have so many problems” versus “We just have so many opportunities” – Which one sounds like you can overcome? Belief Inspires Reality!
Don’t take things personally (QTIP)
Don’t let other people control how you feel!!!
Everything is not always about us
Share what has changed since the last two presentations for you?
Executive who wanted to quit but said couldn’t
Do you think Lucille Ball etc. tried and tried again???
Failing is not the falling down, staying down –
Dentists/doctors
Public speaking
Heights
People want to talk and get what they want whether it’s sympathy or something else. When you listen, and understand, until they are done, then, they are out of steam and will listen to you

Sometimes you have to agree to disagree – people are entitled to their opinions
It’s also like saying “Win the battle or lose the war”
The INTERNAL Shift that says “Well I’ve had enough of this!”
The real key to success in goal setting is having a big enough WHY – that translates into finding the HOW
Know your REAL motivation
Where there’s a will…there’s a way
Have you ever been under extreme pressure to get something done? Did you get it done?
You became instantaneously resourceful
Examples:
Bad health diagnosis
Death in the family
REGRETS
Wanted a new whatever became the motivation to save money, get another job, sell stuff…
Our priorities changed right?
Became suddenly single we had the motivation to get back into the gym
Relationships
The wife who leaves her abusive husband because he’s now hit the kid
The husband who leaves the wife who’s a boozer because now she’s threatening the lives of the kids
When we were kids we’d get “If you do this, then you’ll GET that!” and we did it right? Well, most of the times lol
Basically when we’ve hit the bottom of what we’re willing to accept (no longer settling)
Now, let’s talk about the 5 W’s that will help you….
Self-Fulfilling prophecies
Limiting beliefs
What you focus on you get more of
WHY do you REALLY want it?
We think usually at one layer, but it’s really something even bigger
Lose weight
Live longer
Find a mate
Not be uncomfortable in clothes/public/with friends etc.
To piss someone off because they think you can’t do it
What’s the worst that can happen?
Plan for the WORST
Identify potential obstacles
Solve for them
Will keep positive attitude that everything happens for a reason
Nothing ventured nothing gained
Wayne Gretzky “I miss 100% of the shots I don’t take”
I WILL survive no matter what
Who are your five people?
Surround yourself with people who can and will help you achieve your goal – NOT pull you down with their own insecurities
Where to find them:- Networking events
Online social groups
Authors/experts who have training materials
DO NOT try to do it yourself
Where can you start today?
1% compound effect
Builds confidence
Build slowly – don’t expect overnight success
Learn something new everyday about what you want to accomplish
Get a life coach or an accountability partner
Put money with a bet (big enough why!)
Bet someone that when you do succeed they agree to do something they’ve been putting off too
When will you have had enough?
Tony Robbins – everything to avoid pain or to gain pleasure
What do you want? Be specific and peel back the onion
What’s the worst that can happen? Figure it out, solve it, and move on

POLLING QUESTION: If someone gave you $1,440 per day and the only caveat was you spent it WISELY or you had to give what was left back, would you spend all of it?
Time is the ONE thing we can’t save!
Time is the one thing no amount of money can buy back!!
Either way, the time will go – it’s the one thing we can’t save!
Books read?
Podcasts listened to?
Exercise done?
Research done?
You HAVE to invest in YOURSELF!
Sacrifice the sports games…the reality shows…or better…reward yourself AFTER you’ve done the work!
How long is your daily commute?
Self-Fulfilling prophecies
Limiting beliefs
