Failure (Part One)by Kevin Hogan
They all shared the same purpose but only two were in the actual running to win. So purpose is good. Intention is good. And even paired with each other, they are impotent without something else... Think about the clips on TV you've seen from rockets that launch. The rocket launches and it's not going quickly. In fact it's mercilessly slow getting off the launch pad. Surprisingly slow. Dramatic in power but not speed. The rocket is a big thing. It's hundreds of feet tall. And what is taking up the hundreds of feet if the 6 astronauts are in a 20 foot module at the top? Fuel. Way over 90%, probably 95-98% of the rocket's weight, purpose, design, job...is wrapped up in FUEL. Drive..energy...momentum. Hey have you ever seen a rocket take off, and then take a day or two off along the trajectory out from earth's gravity and THEN try and get out again? It's not possible. Why? The fuel in the bottom 90%+ of the rocket is required to break orbit. Those boosters fall off enroute. The result? There is only one result....and it isn't up. The cool thing is that once the atmosphere has been breached, how much fuel does it take to get to the moon? Next to none. Once outside the earth's atmosphere, there is almost no inertia, no gravity. This is why people look at successful people and often think, "she's got it so easy." The fact is that she broke the earth's gravity and that took a LOT of fuel. A TON of energy. But once you have momentum, once you have established the ability to control the self, amazing things happen.

Decision Point--Learning to Make the Right Decisions that Will Finally Lead You to Your DestinyGo Directly to Application Form E-Course begins May 1 If you've ever taken one of my e-courses, yes, it's like them! This E-course lasts 7 weeks and has more than 20 modules. You set your own schedule - you don't have to be "in class" at any particular time each day. You get VIP access to a secret portion of the web site, and can log in at any time.
Moving is always
tough but when there are more than one person’s job or one person
going to a school that they love and the possibility of leaving friends behind
makes for what many consider an impossible decision. What do YOU decide? How do
you decide?
Your investments
have done OK but your total income saved for your future is terrible.
There are a lot of options you’ve been told about but you really don’t know
what to do. What will you decide? How will you decide?
A relative lives
with you. They take advantage of you but you can’t let them go
because you don’t know what will happen to them. What is the right thing to
do and will that thing be what you decide? How will you decide?
An elderly relative
lives with you. They can’t take care of themselves any more. You hate
the idea of a nursing home or “worse.” You also want “a life.” What
will you decide to do?
You are a manager
at your company and only have enough budget to pursue one product line.
You can choose between an almost sure thing with a very modest return or a
riskier proposal that could make you a superstar. What do you decide? How do
you make the decision?
You’re on your
way home for the holidays. You get stuck in bad weather and are put up
at a local hotel. In the bar that night a beautiful woman strikes up a
conversation with you and she has offered you the key to her room. What will
you decide?
Your wife is two
months pregnant. A test reveals the baby is going to be born with a
disease that will require your 24/7 care for the rest of your life. She decides
she wants to keep the baby. But you haven’t made your decision. What will you
decide to do? How will you make the decision?
Your home has a
horrible defect that you can cover easily in the selling process and
the defect almost certainly won’t be discovered for years. Revealing it will
reduce the price of your home $100,000. What will you decide to do? How will
you decide?
You can stay at
your present job which you really don’t like that much and live on a
predictable but very modest income or you can pursue a venture that has about a
70% chance of success and if it succeeds, you would double your income. What do
you decide to do? How do you decide?
You are involved in
a custody battle for your children. One of the kids is misbehaving
terribly and you don’t know whether you should spank them or discipline them
firmly. The result could easily effect the results of the custody hearing. What
do you do? How do you decide?
Two women have
taken a liking to you. You date them both for some time. They both
begin to talk about moving in and a permanent relationship. One is the kind of
person you feel comfortable with and would be easy to love. The other is 10
years younger and is celebrity beautiful. Unfortunately she knows it and enjoys
being the center of attention. What do you decide? How do you decide?
And those are just a few
of the decisions that face real people every day. Decisions that people are
forced into and have no idea what to do or how to do it.
THIS COURSE shows you
how to make ALL of the decisions above.
And it’s important to
note, that the right decision easily can be different from person to person.
Knowing how to evaluate THAT is crucial to everything you will do…but no one
ever does it….
If you haven’t
taken an e-course with me: an E-course with me is not like an E-course as
thought of by the rest of the world. With me an E-course means you will have
instruction in several media forms. Video, audio and text. There is NO specific
time you must meet with me every day.
About 50% of the people
who take my courses collect all the materials and work at their own pace later.
The other half work with me and sometimes with other participants when
necessary, on projects that are necessary to learning how to make RIGHT
DECISIONS.
My courses are
universally known to be challenging, results-oriented, pragmatic and show you
EXACTLY how to get where you want to go.
Decision making is a
function of thinking that almost 90% of people do very poorly. Most people
think that if something turns out well, they made a good decision. If something
turns out poorly they made a bad decision.
And that conditioning is
one of the biggest reasons why people are poor decision makers.
Decision making is first
and foremost about MAKING DECISIONS IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Every day, people
vacillate on making changes in their lives that they KNOW are absolutely
necessary, but they decide to do nothing and hope for the best, only to live a
life where nothing ever changes.
This is where we begin.
Elimination of
PROCRASTINATION and VACILLATION.
You will learn how to
recognize situations where you are about to commit acts of self-sabotage.
I’ll show you how to identify it long before it becomes an issue. I’ll show
you how to crush self-sabotage so you can make a CHOICE instead of only having
the ability to stay with the Status Quo.
This first week’s
module alone will be worth the investment in the course.
How would you like to
NEVER procrastinate again?
What would happen if you
could actually MOVE in the DIRECTION that you want to, even if it is ONLY AWAY
FROM WHERE YOU ARE TODAY?!
By the end of week one,
you will have daily projects to do for several weeks
that will almost literally beat the habits of self-sabotage and
procrastination from your life.
Most people don’t know
that procrastination is a habit you picked up, but it is NOT your fault.
The same is true of
self-sabotage.
I will explain why, where
it all started, why it happens to everyone and why it must be eradicated
intentionally and with no little effort. By the END of the course, IF YOU
FOLLOW the Decision Point Plan, you will have eliminated procrastination and
almost all forms of self-sabotage. I’ll
explain in detail why self-sabotage is a little trickier and lurks in
EVERYONE’S back yard waiting to strike. I’ll show you how to get rid of it
and then prevent it so you never have to deal with it in the future.
And that is only week
one!
How we doin’ so far?!
If you could point to one word, to one factor, to one element or cause of what happens to you in your life, it is decision. You make decisions all the time. Generally speaking, the more decisions a person makes, the more successful they are. The better a person is at making decisions, the more successful they are. When you move from your old home to the home you are in now; maybe you moved because you wanted a bigger house, or to put the kids in a better school district. Maybe it was just closer to where your job is…more convenient. And of course in the case of uprooting and moving your family, you’re talking about a lot of variables, a lot of things to consider. You’re going to find out how to make the right decision in which house to buy and where to move. What about leaving your job for some other opportunity? FEAR enters the picture quite clearly and because the future is seemingly unpredictable, you feel frozen or stuck as to what to do, so you immediately default to stay in your same job. But there is a way to make this decision much easier. And you’ll be pleasantly surprised when you do…. But there are also the smaller decisions of life.
There is a simple method that takes little thinking at all to make these day to day decisions. And then there are decisions that you make that influence other people’s lives like taking a new job, going into business for yourself, moving to a new area, having a surgery that has risks involved…. How do you know what to do? Don’t worry, most people haven’t got a clue as to how to make the right decision every time, and there is a right decision to make. Then there are Destiny Decisions…those decisions that you make that will literally determine where you are going to be in three years or five years. These are REALLY IMPORTANT decisions. Every day I see people screwing them up as if they are no big deal. You’ll find out a methodical system that might take a very short amount of time or significantly longer depending on circumstances. Nevertheless, you will find out exactly what to do every time. Obviously there are plenty of Black Swan's (unexpected random events like hurricanes and terrorism) out there to get in the way of what you want in life, but nothing you can control impacts your life more than decision. Write that down. Nothing you can control impacts your life more than decision. How would life be different if you knew you were going to make the right decision, every time? (Every time?!) Did you know that in life, there is almost always a best decision? What would happen if you had the method for decision? What would it be worth to have a simple systematic approach to decision making where the guidelines are from your head and heart? Most people are paralyzed with uncertainty about whether they should:
Why Do People Make Bad Decisions? And...they make bad decisions because...we all have about 8-10 areas of failure in our brain….similar experiences where you make the wrong decisions over and over again. (Like marrying the same guy five times, dating jerks, working for idiots, saying the wrong thing at the worst time, etc. Sound familiar?) We’ll repair all of that. (If we don’t, life will be the same tomorrow as it has been in the past….) Did you know there is a proven way to make the right decision in each of the above choices? Now STOP. For the sake of discussion, let's assume that is correct. There IS a method you can use to make the RIGHT decision just about every time. It doesn't take a genius to think, "I decide to make more money," "lose weight," "get a better job," "get married to perfect person x". KEY: Learning the process of making the right decision involves making that decision STICK, be UNYIELDING and barring a Black Swan, guaranteeing you will follow through. Over the last 15 years we've been fortunate to have studied the raw information about how to make laser beam accurate decisions. Complex software programs have shown scientists how to simplify the decision making process using some mostly simple (sorry, it's not ALL instantly easy!) rules. And now, you don't need the software or the computer any more... And, by the way, in the last 15 years there has been an incredible amount of research done about decision making that teach and use VERY FAULTY processes, that can't and don't work. KEY: You'll experience FIRST HAND, how what seems to be an obvious decision, is almost always the wrong one....the costly one...(often the disaster one....) If you follow that teacher's advice, you'll flat out screw up. You'll end up with next to nothing and headaches and heartaches to boot. Why? People, including a lot of authors, are lazy. They don't do the research. They get paid the same no matter what and when YOU screw up, they just say, "you did it wrong." Play along for just a moment. Can I ask you a question? Have you ever read that it's been proven that 93% of all communication is body language? Of course, lots of times. Everyone has read that. And of course, it's not true. (It's not even close to accurate.) How could that be, it's common knowledge...isn't it? There was one study done by a brilliant communication researcher 35 years ago that evaluated people saying one word to another, with the other person only being able to see the person from the neck UP. (that leaves about 90% of the body out of the study.) In this one specific instance, Dr. Mehrabian found that about 93% of the communication sent was at a nonverbal level. Obviously when people communicate with more than one word and people can see below the neck, all kinds of factors change the percentages. Problem is people read something in a book written by Goofball X and they believe what she writes because she says it's "scientific." People look at their lives and think, "I did everything I was told..." Yep and look at that life. It didn't work. The guru didn't do the research. They went with the party line and taught that. I don't care about the party line because I don't like the people at the party. Remember when Benjamin Franklin did his famous experiment about testing each of the virtues (temperance and so forth) for a month so he could eventually become adept at all of them? I've heard most motivational speakers talk or write about this. I'd name them, but it would take an entire page... Anyway...You remember... but he gave up the idea after the first week ...he never did the experiment. He wrote early in his biography that he was going to do the project and then soon after decided not to. Basically he said it was impossible to do such a thing. I've never heard ANYONE get that right, either. But THEY TEACH YOU TO DO IT... And because you trust them YOU TRY IT and FAIL. Franklin's personal challenge didn't work for all kinds of reasons I'll show you later. Question: Why did you believe he actually did the project? Only one reason: ...because someone you trusted or believed, an author, a teacher....told you that it was true. Want a quick way to filter a crummy guru out? If they tell you that story, they didn't get very far in Franklin's biography. If they tell you that, they'd tell you anything. By the way...what did Franklin do instead?! I'll show you that at Decision Point, too. The point is that MOST of the stuff people tell you to do.... that is "scientific," that is based on laws of the universe or proven techniques is nothing more than their imagination having run wild. ...and following their advice will get you the same ultimate destination, every time... Back to Start. (If you don't go into foreclosure first.) So why don't the vast majority of people make good decisions? Why are people AFRAID to make decisions at all? They've been given crummy information and worse methods for how to choose and what to do. It's that simple. (OK, there are eight other core reasons people make crummy decisions every day, but to pick on your neighbor here is so not cool...) And what does the Power of Decision Point give you in life?
You're going to learn it ALL in this 7 Week E-Course. If you’ve been in an E-Course with me, you know that although they are always convenient, they are also densely packed with practical, real life application as the end result. That is the same here. Everything you learn will be immediately applied to a crucial part of your life because there is a LOT going on in your life right now and a LOT of it has to change but you don’t know WHAT. Each week you’ll receive a number of emails or documents from me. You’ll have homework assignments that are all real-life based…your life. You’ll be given audio’s to listen to or video to watch. You will once again, find out what “over delivery” means! You're going to discover:
Do you sell something for a living?[Pay attention- I'm going to show you how to analyze how your client WILL DECIDE on buying your product or service...and I'll show you WHAT is going to happen next...think that might be worth $10,000?!] I've never given the system for DECISION POINT to anyone. I'm not going to write about it in Coffee....ever. But the time is now to experience a truly transformational experience in an exciting and unique E-course. I PROMISE YOU: No one else is going to ever show you this information. You'll never experience these experiences with anyone else. You can't find anything remotely similar "out there." So essentially, you're stuck spending seven weeks with me. As with all of my E-Courses, I am your PERSONAL COACH and you don't have to be at any specific place at any specific time. The program is delivered via audio, video, and text. So what's going to happen in these seven fascinating weeks?
Almost forgot... At the end of the course, you will have one cool, big Coffee Table-Sized Manual that you will be able to refer to forever. Almost all of my E Courses are $10,000. However, this is one of the first times I've offered Decision Point and so you can be considered as part of the Beta group. That means that I, too, will learn a few things in this course. I'm going to find out what the easiest ways to explain the decision processes of successful people. So your tuition is NOT $10,000... See Application Form for tuition rates and discounts that apply now! So as to not dent the bank account, you can also do monthly payments over the next 6 months that make this very affordable.
