Secret Code of Success (part 2)

3 Things I can do as a result of this chapter
1. Develop Top 10 Afformations
2. Develop Action Plan for @ Afformation
3. Share this concept with 3 friends (that would be YOU)

Stages of believing in yourself
1. The first stage is someone believes in you.
2. The second stage is you believe in someone else.
3. The final stage is you believe in you.

Interview Your Loving Mirrors and Safe Havens
1. What do you get out of me being in your life?
2. What have you gained from our relationship? Please be specific.
3. What would be missing if I weren’t in your life?
4. What do you see as my strengths?
5. What can I do differently to improve our relationship?
6. If there were one word or phrase you’d use to describe our relationship, what would it be?
7. On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate our relationship?
8. If anything less than 10 – what can I do to make it a 10?

Great interview questions.
Pick up the book.
It ‘s worth the read.

I would appreciate your prayers as I seek to launch “Main Street Motivation, LLC” as a way to spread the “Message” to corporations and non-profit entities.

The Secret Code of Success

I read several excellent books over the holidays. One of them was “The Secret Code of Success” by Noah St. John

In it he asked several questions that required much thought on my part. See what you think…

“But have you ever stopped to think about the Cost of actually allowing yourself to succeed?”
The Four Steps of Traditional Success Programs
1. Set your goals (Know what you want)
2. Do something (Take action toward your goals)
3. Evaluate (Am I getting closer to my goals or not)
4. Try Again (Adjust your approach until you reach your goals)

The Four Steps of the Real World
1. The Fog (We don’t know what we really want)
2. Treadmilling (We’re really really busy, but getting nowhere)
3. Feel Like a Failure (WE compare ourselves to everyone else and come up short)
4. Try Again (We keep trying and hoping things will be different)

Rather than making a statement (affirmations) you don’t believe…why not ask a QUESTION that can transform your life?

The Four Steps to Create Afformations that can Change Your Life
1. Ask yourself what you want?
2. Form a question that assumed that What You Want is already true.
3. Give Yourself to the Question
(the point in afformations does not lie in finding the answer, but in asking
better questions.)
4. Take new ACTIONS based on your new assumptions about life.

The point is to change what your mind automatically focuses on. Pg 71

I am enjoying the process of giving myself to asking of the questions, and automatically focusing on the right things.
