Looking for the Recipe for Success? Well, Here It Is!

Here are the ingredients to success!

Just like baking a cake, there is a recipe for success and it really is no more difficult than baking cake. There are just some very small simple steps to take.

1. Make a declaration about the type of person that you are or desire to be such as: "I am the possibility of being loving and wealthy."

2. Feel that possibility at the core of your being and visualize what you will be doing or what you will have in the next three years. To create the next three years of your life, really stand in the future as if you are looking back on what you have already accomplished.

3. Every quarter (three months), review your 3-year vision and create goals based on it for that quarter. Remember to stand in the future as if it has already happened when you create these goals each quarter.

You'll notice that we always say that you should "stand in the future as if it has already happened." It's because your subconscious can't tell the difference between fantasy and reality. This is the same reason that when you watch a scary movie that you get scared. Similarly, if you lifted weights every single day for three years, would the weight that you are lifting today seem as heavy? This is a key ingredient to your recipe for success.

4. Create an Unleash Lifelog which will serve as your recipe for success as it puts your actions in the right order. Time and again, people make the biggest mistake of all: not writing things down. Writing things down makes it real and makes it much more likely to happen because your goal actually exists in the physical world. The funny thing is that many people experience success after writing something, never reviewing it again only to find it years later to realize that they accomplished everything on the list!

Basically, what we really want you to understand is that what you say creates your life. For example, after Sputnik was launched, President Kennedy asked NASA how many years it would take to put a man on the moon. He was told that it would be at least 40 to 50 years. Not long after being told that, he stood in front of a crowd at Baylor University and said, "By the end of this decade, we will have put a man on the moon...not because it is easy but because it is hard."

Even though the most optimistic scientists said that it would take 30+ years, Kennedy made a declaration and it happened in less than 10 years. The flipside of this story is that had Kennedy not made that declaration, the experts' beliefs would have prevailed and set back the space program by at least 20 years.

While at the same time keeping you on track with the basics, this structure is key to the recipe for success because it gives you the ability to create infinite intentions, possibilities and goals.

It's that simple!It's that easy! Now, you have already set your three year goals as well as goals for the next three months. But how to you make sure that you achieve those goals? Just complete your goals in your weekly Unleash Lifelog! Remember the old saying, "You eat an elephant the same way you eat everything else... one bite at a time!"

Want to guarantee your success even more? Just revisit both your short-term and long-term goals on a regular basis.

Here's how you can revisit your quarterly goals:

Open your quarterly goals log and reread each of your minimum and targeted intentions and ponder each one.

If you were successful in completing it, truly congratulate yourself, feel good about it and check it off your list.

If you are absolutely, positively, 100% sure you will complete it by the end of the quarter, write "OK" beside it.

If you are no longer committed to completing it because you no longer care about it or there is less than a 10% chance that you will complete it, do yourself a favor and either delete it (or put a big "X" through it) or revise it so you can absolutely complete it before the end of the quarter.

Many people view this as quitting or cheating but it is really not. It's just being honest with yourself when you acknowledge that you did not fulfill upon your goal! So, why pull your hair out? Save yourself a lot of energy and reduce your aggravation and pain of trying to accomplish the impossible by recreating your goals.

Think of it this way: there is a huge penalty for setting high goals and not reaching them because people are generally too hard on themselves but, on the other hand, there is no penalty for setting modest goals and overachieving! Ponder this example: say that your original goal was to lose 20 pounds in 60 days but after 30 days you only lost 5 pounds. How would you feel if you didn't recommit to a goal that is more realistic? Probably pretty miserable right? And guess what, since we don't like to do things that make us feel miserable, you'd probably fail anyway! Recommitting is not failing or cheating... it's just smart!
