/24-7PressRelease/ - VANCOUVER, BC, CANADA, September 06, 2007 - 9-Step Fall Breakthrough Program:
1) Take Stock. Take a moment and take stock of yourself. What did you accomplish this summer? What did you achieve in terms of rest, relaxation, rejuvenation, adventure or some other personal milestone? Take a moment and complete your summer.
2) Ask Yourself "What do I want?" This question is always the foundation to accelerated energy and results. What do I want to achieve this fall? If I had a key breakthrough result, what would that be? Play with this question until you get something that inspires you.
3) Ask Yourself "Why is this important to me?" Knowing why a project is important to you is the great energy multiplier. Ask yourself "Would this give me more passion or excitement?" If the answer is yes, you know you are on the right track.
I have been developing my system for over 20 years. Working with Paul Gossen gave me the key pieces to take my system to a whole new level.
Dave Chalk, Television Personality and Founder of ChalkTV
4) Make Pictures. Olympic athletes consistently demonstrate that making a picture of what you want dramatically improves your performance. It is easy and only takes a moment to stand in the future and see yourself having achieved your result. For real energy, look at yourself from the eyes of someone important to you. How do they feel seeing you achieve this breakthrough result?
5) Design Your Fall Breakthrough Program. Time to get specific. How could you measure your results? Map out the key dates, deadlines, milestones and specific measurements. This is a great place to work with another person. It is much easy to brainstorm with 2 people. Get it all written down and finally give it a code name:
"Project ______ ". This will make it easier to stay on track.
6) Declare Your Intentions. Nothing guarantees action as effectively as a public declaration. The threat of embarrassment will almost always override procrastination. Throw your hat over the fence and declare your Fall Breakthrough Program to the top 10 people in your life and work.
7) Make Promises. Most often we think that external forces motivate us. I need coffee, an emergency or a big deadline to get up to speed. Working with high-performance executives, I see time and time again that promises are the key building blocks of motivation. Make promises. Turn your tasks into promises. Start sentences with " I promise to..." and see what happens to your ability to produce results.
30-Days of working with Paul Gossen turned my junior team leaders into executive material.
Steve Lyon, VP, American Express
8) Schedule Your Actions Forget to-do lists. Think in time blocks. When you block out time in your calendar, you create a visual relationship with time. This forces you to confront the reality of your available time and requires real discipline.
9) Have Fun. The key to accelerated results is a relaxed playful game. Blame, shame and guilt or one more thing that you "should do" are not effectives ways to motivate yourself. You will know your Fall Breakthrough Program is working if you can laugh at yourself when you fall of the wagon.
The 9-Step Fall Breakthrough Program is part of 2-day Breakthrough Series, which begins in Toronto Sept 18, Vancouver Oct 17, New York Nov 15 and San Francisco Nov 27, 2007. Contact: http://www.BusinessTransformed.com
