Accountability Challenge Week 9: THE FLIP SWITCH: 17 seconds to change your life
This week whenever you are overwhelmed by a situation, circumstance, or a thought or emotion that is moving you away from the direction of your BIG Goal, I challenge you to draw upon a positive thought, memory or emotion for 17 seconds. That’s it. Just concentrate and focus your energy on looking for ways to feel better in the moment, regardless of what is happening around you.
How do you do this?
Think of something you are grateful for in your life. I encourage you to make a list of things that make you feel really good. Perhaps it’s the memory of the birth of your child; perhaps it’s when you met that special someone in your life. Maybe it’s that feeling you get when you step off the plane and feel the wonderful warmth of that tropical destination, particularly in the depths of a long cold winter. Maybe it’s the memory of the little league home run you hit to win the championship.
Whatever it is for you just do it for 17 seconds right now. When you do it for 17 seconds you override ten times the negative flow of emotions that you previously sent out. Gradually build up the time you spend on this exercise. When you can do this simple exercise for just 10 minutes per day, I guarantee that you will be overwhelmed by all of the wonderful things that you are now attracting into your life.
It is impossible to think & act positive 24 hours a day, However it is entirely possible to do it for just 17 seconds today.
Go to it, you can thank me later.
Expect Success,
Thought for the week:

Accountability Challenge Week 8: A Simple Plan for Success.
As you know by now, (or at least I hope that you do), one of the four core steps to our Power of Persistence formula to reach any goal that we set is to have definite plans backed up by continuous action starting right now.
In this week’s lesson I want to focus on helping you to create a simple, yet very powerful daily plan of attack. I personally use this very simple formula every day to help me to stay on track.
Again, I wish I could claim credit for the creation of this step, but I can’t. I was initially introduced to the original version of this gem of an idea in where else? Napoleon Hill’s classic book Think & Grow Rich. This version is a slight modification.
Accountability Challenge Week 8: A Simple Plan for Success.
6 Most Important plus Vital One.
Before you leave the office at the end of each day or at the latest before your head hits the pillow each evening, take 5 minutes to list out the 6 important steps you can take the next day that will move you closer to reaching your top goals.
Of those 6 most important action steps, list out the one step that you consider MOST VITAL. to your success. Be sure to focus 100% of your efforts on accomplishing this one VITAL step.
Once you have done that, move on to the next most important step, complete it, and then carry on down your list until all 6 steps are complete.
There will be those days where you do not complete all 6 of your action steps. However if you have been diligent in starting with your MOST VITAL priority for the day, then the chances are you will still be making terrific progress to your goals.
Here’s a look at what the format for this exercise looks like. It is very easy to put this into your contact management program in the form of an ongoing, recurring activity.

Accountability Challenge Week 7: Six Steps to turn desire into reality.
One of the key ingredients in achieving any really big, hairy or audacious goal is DESIRE.
In Napoleon’s Hill’s classic book Think and Grow Rich, he states that desire is the starting point of all achievement. Hill teaches us that this can not be just any old ordinary desire. It must be a “white hot” BURNING Desire.
Hill explains to the reader that there is one main difference that distinguishes practically all who succeed from those who fail.
Wishing for what we want in life will not make it so. But, desiring our goals with a state of mind that becomes an obsession, then planning definite ways and means to achieve our goals, and backing those plans with persistence which does not recognize failure, will bring us the successful achievement of our goals.
In Chapter 2: Desire, Hill outlines his can’t miss practical 6 step method for turning our desires into reality. If you are truly serious about achieving your major goals this year, then take the time to complete the following 6 steps.
Accountability Challenge Week 7: Six Steps to turn desire into reality.
First: Fix in your mind, exactly the goal that you desire. Do not be vague with your description. Be definite as to exactly what you want.
Second: Determine exactly what you intend to give in return for the goal that you desire. (There is no such thing as “something for nothing”).
Third: Establish a definite date when you intend to achieve the goal you desire.
Fourth: Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire, and begin at once, whether you are ready or not, to put this plan into action.
Fifth: Write out a clear, concise statement of the goal you intend to achieve, name the time limit for its acquisition, state what you intend to give in return for the money, and describe clearly the plan through which you intend to achieve it.
Sixth: Read your written statement aloud, twice daily, once just before retiring at night, and once after arising in the morning. AS YOU READ-SEE AND FEEL AND BELIEVE YOURSELF ALREADY IN POSSESSION OF YOUR GOAL.
Go to it!
Expect Success,

The Core Conditioning Program 52 Week Accountability Challenge Week 6: Imagine The Moment
This week’s challenge is short, sweet and fun.
I’m a firm believer that before you experience the actual achievement of any goal, dream, or desire in its physical form, you have to first see, feel, and achieve it in your mind’s eye.
Many experts call this “visualization”, or “visioning”. Whatever you want to call it, it’s been proven to work, so let’s give it a test drive, with our most important goals.
52 Week Accountability Challenge Week 6: Imagine The Moment
- Find a quiet, peaceful place where you won’t be disturbed or distracted for the next 2-3 minutes.
- Picture in your mind’s eye, in the present moment, the successful completion of your most important goal. See it as if it is actually happening right now.
- How would you feel? Would you be experiencing a huge sense of accomplishment, joy, satisfaction, relief, unstoppable self-confidence? Feel those feelings.
- Bring in as many of your physical senses as you can. How would this experience feel? Look? Taste? Sound? Smell?
- Repeat this process with other really important goals you have.
Keep Your Core Strong!

We are now entering week 5 of our Core Conditioning Program Accountability Challenge.
Once again, I encourage you to take 10 minutes to review your Progress over the past week
What is the goal(s) that I am committed to achieving over the next 52 weeks?
- What did I say I was going to do this past week?
- How do I feel about it? Briefly describe your victories or challenges from the past week.
Week 5 Challenge: Take a Quantum Leap:
You have everything you need inside you right now to make a Quantum Leap in 2015. The question is WILL YOU?
“Right now, in this moment, you are capable of exponential improvement in your performance. You can multiply your personal effectiveness, hit new highs, and shatter your old achievement records. The results you can have will be hard to imagine”.
You can become You2”.
These wonderfully encouraging and very powerful words, come right out of one of my favourite books; You2 by Price Pritchett. I believe that we sell ourselves way too short in setting and reaching our goals. We end up settling for results that are well below our true potential.
1. Ignore Conventional Approaches: What one thing will you do differently this week to help you reach your goal?
To make a quantum leap, you’ve got to break out of the rut you’ve been running. This week I want you to try something completely different in pursuit of your goal. It is easy, far too easy to become addicted to our existing habits and methodologies. Perhaps you work out late at lunchtime. This week can you work out first thing in the morning? If you always eat cereal and toast for breakfast, instead treat yourself to a delicious and nutritious protein shake. The key is to break out of your normal routine. Moving to a higher level calls for a fresh perspective, which can actually mean a path of less Resistance.
2. Suspend Disbelief: This week “Act as if” your success is for certain.
Often the major obstacle to achieving the quantum leaps that we are looking for is our own lack of belief that we can make it happen. This week I want to focus on suspending any lingering doubts or disbeliefs that may be floating around in that head of yours. I know they are there, I can feel them myself. Think of an actor when they take on a role. To be really successful, and believable they have to take on all of the characteristics of that role, don’t they? The mannerisms, the thoughts, the physical presence, the subtle nuances. In other words for that role, they become that person. What one thing would you be doing differently if you knew your success was for certain? Pretend you are an actor; take on one characteristic of the person that you desire to become. Go do it now.

Congratulations, It’s hard to believe that we’re already into week 4 of our 52 week Accountability Challenge. How did you make out in week 3?
Once again, I encourage you to take 10 minutes to review your Progress from the past week.
What is the goal(s) that I am committed to achieving over the next 52 weeks?
It is ok to have several goals on the go, but I recommend that you focus on no more than two major goals: one health & fitness related, and one personal growth goal (increasing your income, business promotion, improving a relationship, etc).
- What did I say I was going to do this past week?
- What did I actually do?
- How do I feel about it? Briefly describe your victories or challenges from the past week. If you made progress, now is the time to give yourself a big pat on the back If you didn’t make any progress, don’t beat yourself up about it, but be honest in describing the Resistance that got in the way. Recommit to your goal, and move forward. FIDO (Forget it, drive on).
Week 4 Challenge: The Power of Habits:
Are your habits helping you or hurting you?
In order to make significant and lasting improvements in our life, including achieving the goals that we are working on, we really only need to change two things
How we think and how we act. Sounds simple enough doesn’t it. Unfortunately simple is not always easy. Our habits are the ways of thinking and acting that we repeat on a consistent basis, until they become “well”, habits. Our habits can help us if they lead us forward in a productive fashion, and are performance enhancing, but they also often hurt, or hold us back when they are non-productive.
- 1. Take ten minutes to list out all of your own current HABITS, as they relate to your major goal(s) be they helpful in nature or hurtful. Don’t judge them just try to objectively list them:
- Eating potato chips late at night is a habit that might be considered detrimental to achieving peak physical condition. It is also by the way, one of my own bad habits, which I am committed to changing.
- Exercising 5-6 days per week for a minimum of 20 minutes on the other hand is a positive habit, which is helpful to achieving peak physical condition.
- 2. Commit to taking action on one positive and one negative habit this week.
- Do less of one thing that is holding you back from reaching your goal. That could mean forgoing your morning muffin in favour of a delicious apple.
- Do more of one thing that will move you closer to your goal. It could be listening to the affirmation or rapid manifestation audios that you received in week one on a daily basis.
- 3. Just Do It; Commit to doing the exercises. No excuses, no alibis!
