MIND MANAGEMENT
There are three important
elements of this system for success:
Hold a daily goal planning meeting with the source
of your intuition, who I affectionately refer to as the
Chief Spiritual Officer or CSO. In your daily planning
meeting, use powerful word statements that
describe your goals as completed with gratitude.
Write down, speak out loud, and imagine what you want, not
what you don’t want. For example, I know a saleswoman
who often says things like, “I really hope that I’m not late for
my appointment with ABC Company on Tuesday.” Most
likely, she’ll be late for her appointment because that’s what
she’s focused on. A better way to phrase that would be, “I’m
so grateful that I am always on time or early for my
appointments and easily facilitate a fair exchange of value
with my customers.” With statements like those, she might
feel inspired to check the traffic report or get ready earlier.
Make what you desire familiar and welcome
into your life by learning more about other
people who have achieved the kind of success
you desire. This shifts your beliefs to possibility
which is required to achieve any goal. For
example, a man named Harold wanted to be a successful real
estate agent in Southern California. In the first eight months
of his new job, the few clients that he worked with ran him
ragged for very little money in commission. Harold couldn’t
rationally see how he could ever be a successful, well-paid
agent with great clients, and started to consider other lines of
work. But before he gave up, he committed to creating new

goal statements and using
them in the daily practice as
part of his system for success.
He described his perfect
clients and his desired amount
of money with gratitude as
though he had already
achieved his goal. He also took
steps to make the success that
he wanted welcome by reading
about the journeys of
successful real estate agents
and going to networking
events to meet some of them
and hear their stories. As he
did his daily practice and met
other successful agents over
several months, his beliefs
shifted. Harold started to
believe that it was possible to experience the same kind of
success. He didn’t know how it was going to happen; he
waited for his CSO to illuminate possibilities through intuitive
leads. A short time later, he got a strong thought to call
surfing shops and corporations who had surfers as part of
their executive teams to see if they’d like him to come in and
speak for free about the risk-taking characteristics that
surfing and business have in common. Since he had been a
competitive surfer, he could discuss that topic. He was
invited to several places to speak, met lots of new contacts,
and received a substantial increase in business that
surpassed his original goal. Make what you want welcome to
shift your beliefs to possibility.
