Name something you want.
It can be a weight-loss goal, a money goal, a sales quota, a new house,
a relationship, etc. It's entirely up to you.
Since my book is about money, think about your money goals. How much
more money are you seeking, anyway? A hundred dollars? Thousands? A million?
Now let me ask you a blunt question:
Why don't you have it yet?
Why don't you have the thinner body, or more money, or whatever it is
you said you wanted?
Well?
Now let me tell you something shocking:
The fault isn't with the economy, your parents, your spouse, your neighbors,
your mayor, the president, or anyone or anything outside of you.
So, what's the secret to making life a joy?
What's the secret to creating more money now?
And what's the answer to why you haven't achieved your goals yet?
It's in your own mind. No, not in your thoughts. Not in your conscious
mind. The roadblock is deeper. It's where you rarely look. It's in your
unconscious.
In short, if there is something you are trying to achieve—you name
it—and you aren't achieving it, chances are your unconscious holds
some contradictory intentions for you.
Said another way, you want something and it doesn't.
If you are typical, you are constantly giving yourself contradictory
instructions, such as "I want to lose weight" and "I want
that luscious piece of pie."
Notice anything odd about them?
Those statements are going in different directions. After years of such
frustrating and contradictory messages, your unconscious gives up and
starts to disregard what you consciously want.
In other words, you canceled out your own request. You said, "I
want money," but right after that you said (or thought), "I
don't deserve it" or "Money never comes to me" or some
other similar limiting belief.
As a result, you usually didn't get what you said you wanted!
But I have good news for you.
All that can end now. You can learn two, simple three-step processes
that will put an end to the mental self-sabotage that has been holding
you back. Now, you'll finally be able to show your unconscious mind exactly
how to let you achieve what you consciously want.
I said "simple," but that doesn't mean "easy." It
won't happen automatically, just by holding these pages in your hand or
thinking beautiful thoughts. There's no magic or hocus-pocus. But there
is a method. And it can be called magical.
Read on and you'll learn about a tried-and-tested, three-step process
that can transform your world and bring you all the riches you've ever
imagined.
I've proven this method will work by testing it on 50,000 people. Now
you can prove it will work for you.
First, let me introduce you to the basic three steps:
1. Create a Target that defines what you want, one that is clearly understood
by all aspects of your unconscious mind. Think of the bull's eye of an
archery target with its concentric circles enclosing a central red circle.
Your unconscious mind needs something as clear as that circle, a target
that indicates exactly what you want.
2. Prioritize your Target; flag it so that you will remain unconsciously
focused on it while you get on with your normal activities. Imagine a
large crowd of people, all dressed alike in gray. Now picture one of them
holding up your highly graphic bull's eye target with the bright red center.
Chances are, the target is what will catch your eye. That's what happens
in your unconscious mind when you have appropriately prioritized your
target.
3. Resolve any self-defeating unconscious habit patterns that can prevent
you from achieving your target. Your unconscious habits govern what you
normally do in a situation. The most efficient way to go through life
is to do a lot of things on automatic--except when those automatic habitual
patterns get in the way. In other words, most people have unconscious
mechanisms that sabotage their desire to hit the target. When you clear
those, you are free to hit the mark.
Think about driving a car.
Most of what you do requires little conscious attention. You attend to
the traffic, what's on the radio, the time, etc. You don't pay much attention
to making the numerous minor steering corrections, evaluating your distance
from the cars on your right or left, slowing to adjust to the car in front
of you, etc.
Now, remember what it was like when you first learned to drive. Every
single thing required a conscious decision. Remember how tiring that was?
Didn't your palms sweat? Didn't you hold your breath a lot?
The difference is that now, through repetition, you have created unconscious
habit patterns that operate automatically, making things much easier.
Those unconscious habit patterns persist, seemingly forever. That's why
we say, "You never forget how to ride a bike." You're never
going to forget how to drive a car, are you?
But driving a car is a simple example. And you've already accomplished
it, most likely. What about the things you want—like more money—that
you don't yet have? What keeps stopping you from achieving that goal?
Some of your persistent, unconscious habit patterns don't work well for
you any more. They can automatically block you from getting what you want.
They are probably even operating right now, keeping you from getting more
money (or any other target).
For example, an infant learns to cry when it is hungry. Crying is very
effective for an infant. Cry, and someone pretty quickly comes to meet
your needs. But this automatic response loses its effectiveness as we
grow older. Think of someone you've seen in your business life. They're
frustrated because they're not getting what they want. Their voice gets
louder, they get red in the face, maybe they even wave their arms around
or pound on a table.
Just like an infant when it is frustrated.
Why? The unconscious habit pattern they learned as an infant is still
working—but now it's working against them.
For you to be successful at things that seem impossible, those inappropriate
unconscious patterns have to be changed into new habits that enhance your
ability to get what you want.
I call that "resolving unconscious habit patterns"—clearing
the unconscious of whatever prevents you from achieving your target. It's
the third step in this magical three-step process. It's fun. And it's
very, very powerful.
There you have it!
