Amazing life’s success and prosperity is your birthright. You were designed for mind boggling success, born for  outstanding accomplishments and gifted beyond the highest human thoughts can reach. Your life was planned; your    birt birth h was was no nott an accid acciden ent. t. Every Everyth thin ing g yo you u have have passed passed through at this point in your life is a series of synchronistic events positioning you for the fulfillment of your destiny. Divine intelligence has an exciting plan for your life – a  plan for amazing amazing success. Here is an eight-step pattern that can assist you to manifest all that you have been dreaming to become, do or have. STEP I - Dream! Dream! Dream big dreams. It doesn’t cost you one penny or a cent cent to dream. So dream  big dreams. Grab yourself a clean sheet of paper right now and write down own all that hat you have bee been dreami aming of    becom becomin ing, g, doi doing ng or or havi having. ng. Don’ Don’tt put put it off. off. Begi Begin n to write. Write as many ideas that come to your mind. Use the next next fifteen fifteen to thirty thirty minut minutes es to do this. this. Stretc Stretch h your  imagina imaginatio tion n and keep writin writing. g. Don’t Don’t stop stop to think about about how and when these may be accomplished; just keep on flowing. flowing. Surprise Surprise yourself yourself with with some of those those ideas. What about becoming the CEO of your own seven-figure income organization? How about raising enough money to feed thou thousa sand ndss of chil childr dren en arou around nd the the worl world? d? What What about about  purchasing that five-acre piece of land to establish the head

quarter quarterss of your motivat motivation ional al organi organizat zation ion?? How about about raising your income by one thousand dollars? How about finishing that book you started two months ago? Just keep on writing and don’t cheat on yourself by giving up before the allo allott tted ed time. time. Stop Stop right right now and get this this exerci exercise se done. Great! You have done it! it! Your first first step is over and and you are moving into and unto great and wonderful things that will cause you to make a positive difference in your  world. world. This This brings brings you to step two of this this life-cha life-changi nging ng  pattern for amazing success. STEP II – Set Some Specific Goals I want you right now to take a few minutes to review those dreams you have written in step one. You will notice if you have done the exercise as you were instructed, that there are some of those dreams that you can begin to work on immediately and accomplish in a shorter time than others; some would take a little longer time to achieve, yet some would would take take an even even longe longerr time to accom accompl plis ish. h. What What I want you to do this very moment is this: select three to five of those dreams that you think you may be able to accomplish within two to six months. If you can’t can’t find any, any, create three to five specific desires of your heart right now  – at least one thing you want to be, one thing you want to do and one one thing thing you want want to have. have. Make Make sure sure they they are clear in your mind and on your paper because “nothing   becomes becomes dynami dynamicc until it becomes becomes speci specific fic.” .” Be sure sure to clarify the reason or reasons you want to become, do or  have the desires of your heart. “Find Your Why,” Why,” to quote International International Motivational Motivational Speaker Speaker, John Di Di Lemme. Lemme. Do

not take this this step lightly lightly.. It is very importan importantt that you get real really ly spec specif ific ic here here.. You want want to crea create te a sign signif ific ican antt impression impression upon Divine Divine Intelligenc Intelligence. e. This is a crucial crucial step in the scien science ce of achi achiev eving ing amazin amazing g succ succes ess. s. You then want to write out three specific goals using what I call  behavioural terms or doable expressions. For example, you may may writ write: e: with within in the the next next nine ninety ty to on onee hu hund ndre red d and and twenty days I will raise my present income from a lower  four figure income to an upper four figure income. (may be from $3000.00 to $6000.00 per month) STEP III - Develop A Practical Plan Of Action This step is like a blue print. It is very necessary before the formless can become form, before the idea can become “flesh” it is a guide for you to follow and stick to until the goal is is reached reached.. This This is the time time where where you sit sit and put a   plan plan toge togeth ther er usin using g yo your ur prese present nt cult cultiv ivat ated ed and and natu natura rall skills to work work for you. You also identify identify people, people, products products and or services that you may refer to in helping you over  the success success line. line. This is the the time when when you determine determine that that you yo u do yo your ur ver very best best in yo your ur pres preseent occu occupa pati tion on or   business  business while while you keep your your vision clear clear in mind. mind. Do not get bitter with anyone concerning your present situation, nei neither shou oulld you worry or fret abou outt your present circums circumstan tances ces.. Just Just believe believe that your present present situat situation ion is not your final final destinati destination. on. For example, example, using using the goal goal in step II above to move your income to another level, this is what a simple workable plan may look like: If your are a sale saless profe profess ssio iona nal, l, yo you u may may say say some someth thin ing g like like this this;; in ninety to one hundred and twenty days, I will raise my

monthly income to another level in the following way – I will spend an additional one to two hours introducing my   product or service service to more more prospects prospects each day day. I will tell tell the story of my products or service to five to ten additional  persons every day for three to six months. Just think of your present situation and start with what you have, where you are, where your blue print is concerned. Remember, all of this is still on paper. paper. Be sure to write this down. This activity seems to activate universal and unseen  powers and principles to your advantage. Believe it! STEP IV – Get Lost In Enthusiasm and Excitement I cann cannot ot ov over erem emph phas asiz izee the the impo import rtan ance ce of this this step step to  becoming, doing and having your burning desires. Get lost in enth enthus usia iasm sm and and posit positiv ivee exci excite teme ment nt conce concerni rning ng yo your  ur  desires desires and results. results. Think especia especially lly about about your outcome; outcome; then then emotiona emotionaliz lizee your desire desires. s. Feel Feel the reality reality of your  your  desir desire. e. Let Let yo your ur emoti emotion onss rise high high as you revie review w yo your  ur  success success plan daily daily. Commit the the following following to memory memory and repeat it before you leave for work in the morning if you work away from home or repeat just before you start your  daily activities each day for the duration set to accomplish your goal. goal. “Today “Today is the the best day day of my life. life. I am loaded with with infi infini nite te poten potenti tial alss and and possi possibi bili liti ties es.. I have have what what it takes to become what I desire.

I am un unsstop opp pable.” Understand this, enthusiasm taps into your inexhaustible source to work for you and not against you.

STEP V – Exercise Faith In Your Plan For Amazing Success You have now come to a step that you dare not take for  granted. granted. The concept concept of faith faith plays plays a super importa important nt role in bringing bringing to fruition fruition your expresse expressed d written written desires. desires. To exercise faith in your desire to be, do or have amazing success, is to first of all believe that you have a right to this kind of success success in your your experience. experience. To have faith faith in your  desires is to believe you have what it takes to get you over  the line of mediocrity into the ocean of excellence and amazing success. To have faith in your burning desires and worthwhile goals is to tap into your heart when your talent says you are not capable – when your analytical faculties remind you that you have never done it before.. Thanks to Jeff Combs for that wonderful and life-changiing  programme, ”More Heart Than Talent” which exposes us to the crucial importance of heart power in the achievement of  ourr pass ou passio ions ns n the the face face of exte extern rnal al,, adv dver ersse and and eve even reasonable reasonable appearances appearances.. This kind of faith faith is is not passive passive  but active active in nature. nature. In fact, fact, it is the the faith that that is pregnant pregnant with with action action – that kind of faith faith that produc produces. es.

You will never receive the kinds of results you desire until you get in motion. motion. Anthony Anthony Robin Robinss reminds reminds us in his motivati motivational onal Bes Best Sell Seller er ”Awa ”Awake ke Th Thee Giant iant Withi ithin” n”,, that that yo you u can can activate two steps to get what you want. Step 1: make a decision concerning your desire then Step 2: take massive action. Yes, you must take your belief to another level – that action level; and while I am at this stage, I caution you not to wait until you have everything in place before taking action. Let me share something with you I learned from my personal coach and mentor, Mike Litman, Best Selling author of  Convers Conversati ations ons With Millio Millionai naires res:: with with regards regards to taking taking action, Mike counsels, ” You don’t have to get it right; you   just just have have to to get get it going.” going.” Just Just begin begin your your projec project. t.

You may have to take some some baby steps steps before before you take some massive massive ones. Go back now to your blue print in step three of the success pattern and think of one action you can take to begin working on your desired results right now. Take a few minutes to do that this very moment. Terrific! errific! Keep going! going! Remember Remember,, you don’t have have to get it

If you want amazing outstanding results, you must take amazingly outstanding actions. It is that simple. Get it going! You You are almost there. Don’t give up now! Attitude of Persistence STEP VII - Develop An Attitude

In your race to the finishing line of amazing success, there will come moments in your experience when you may want to give up. Sometimes you may be faced with the reality of  getting it going and not see the results you are expecting at the time you plan for it. Your head may try to convince you to stop and and try somethi something ng else. else. But you you must never never give give up.. Don up on’’t ever learn how how to qu quiit when it come omes to achieving achieving your your God-given God-given worthwhile worthwhile goals. goals. Experience Experience will teach you that if you hang in there long enough, that  just at the time you are about to quit, is the very moment you will strike the gold mine m ine of amazing success. Too Too many entrepeuneures give up too soon. Be sure to hang in tough and keep at it. it.
