The Only Goal Setting System That Works (part 1)

How Failure Creeps Up...
A true story...
11 years ago, I wanted to start a school. Having met some of
my life goals (write 10 books, speak internationally, be a good
Dad, etc.) I wanted to establish the first licensed school for
hypnosis in Minnesota. I had a clear vision of what I wanted to
do. I had determined very specific outcomes. Curriculum,
location, standards...and a date. I put it out one year. For me
that is a long-term time horizon on projects like this. I'm used to
moving at lightning speed...
Everything was done at the 4-month mark except licensure.
Licensure was to be my last project because I've never been one
to enjoy paperwork, deal in the minutia of governmental
bureaucracy and well...you get the idea. Surely we could
accomplish the paperwork and pay the exorbitant fees for
licensure in a matter of weeks.
Not a chance.
Oh, the money was all paid up front. The State doesn't accept
applications without big checks attached. It was then one year
until the state would issue the license. Total time: 16 months.
If I moved that slow in my real life...nothing would ever get
done and there would be no life...
The problem with deadlines is that most people come to a
deadline, pass it, and then quit. "It just wasn't meant to be"...one
tends to whisper. There is so much more to a goal than having a dream
with a deadline.
Having a plan, a schedule, and a clear picture of the outcome
are all critical to success. Then there are other elements
including contingency plans and persisting in the face of
adversity, among others. Don't lock yourself into an all or
nothing date by which you MUST achieve something by.
Let's start to apply the first three principles of goal
setting.
Take your time and enjoy this first process. If it's
not fun, then you are thinking about someone else's life! This
should be a RICH experience!
Goal Setting Preparation Exercise
- Think of all the things in life that are important to you on
every level. Contribution, love, sex, happiness, spending time
with the family, doing work you are proud of. Write everything
down that comes to mind. Leave five lines below each item for
evaluation. Journal this. Write down at least fifty "items."
- Next to each of these things, write a number from 1-10 (10
being most) in how much you really want this "item." in your
life. This step is crucial. If you are anything but 100% honest
with yourself, you will sabotage the entire process.
- Next to each "item" above, write down one or two sentences that
explains specifically how you will measure or know whether you
are on track to meet this goal at ninety days. If you wrote that
you want a yacht, a spouse, a new house...you probably won't
have those things in 90 days (at least I hope not). I will need
you to show what level of progress you want to experience by
that 90-day mark.
For the balance of the goal setting system that can help you
create the map to get you where you want to be, come see
me in Las Vegas in October and I will lay it out for you myself
in ridiculously minute detail. It will be wildly cool and fun and
it will work....
I've identified 12 of the life patterns which cause us to trip up - and make the same mistakes again and again. To discover which of the 12 patterns you have been the victim of and how to eliminate self-sabotage in your life (or those of your clients) you can pick up the program below.

- Do you ever know you should start on a project but don't?
- Do you have projects that you have started but never finished?
- Do you ever say the one wrong thing at the wrong time?
- Have you ever had things going well in life only to have everything blow up in a day?
- Have you tried to be so careful not to make a mistake that you were shocked when you made a truly costly one?
- Have you ever promised yourself to stay out of trouble in some way only to find yourself in the same trouble or worse again?
Now you can discover your own life patterns so you can eliminate unconscious self sabotage immediately. This program will break the heavy chains that hold you from your dreams and your goals.
This program is the first program ever made public that shows you how to identify specific self sabotaging behaviors and negative life patterns. Better? You can ultimately erase those life patterns and rewrite new "schemas" into your brain that will allow you to meet your goals and experience fulfilling relationships.
Here is what you will learn:
- How to identify which of the 12 negative life patterns you live.
- How to find the triggers of the lifestorms that you just can't believe you experience.
- How to change the self sabotage into success, happiness or something productive.
- How to remove almost all obstacles between you and your goals.
- How to understand those around you so you don't push their buttons.
- How to predict your behavior and that of others.

Anyone can utilize this information and I personally guarantee that if you follow the instructions you will not experience self sabotaging behavior anymore.
