What is Your Recipe for Success...Physical, Mental, Financial, Spiritual?
"The past does not equal the future." - Tony Robbins
When working any plan, you have to discard any doubts. Many of us have deep-seated doubts that are formed by a combination of elements. Among those are our core beliefs about ourselves and the world, impressions of past experiences (both successes and failures), our need for approval, and level of self esteem.
You need to put all that behind you and stick to your plan. You need to take action regardless of fear or doubt. In order to do that, I recommend you ask the question... "what would Tony do?"
Master motivator Tony Robbins tells us that we need several things in order to succeed:
- A clear, simple, workable approach. Don't over complicate things! This is a bad habit that many of us have. Don't let it do you in.
- Two requirements: desire and commitment. Results are not based on what people can do, but what they will do. If you're willing to do what it takes, you can succeed.
- A plan with simple, systematic strategies. If you improve yourself by one percent per day, that's over 365 percent improvement in one year. Do you think you can improve just one percent per day? Of course you can.
The recipe for success
Here is the four step formula for success that will work for anything you want to accomplish.
- Determine your outcome - You must make a decision. You must decide on what you want. If you don't get clear on where you're going, the chances of your getting there are rather slim.
"Begin with the end in mind."
-Stephen Covey - Take action - You must make a second decision and decide to make a change. Many of us will not do this due to fear. Don't fall into that trap. Decide to act anyway.
- Notice what is working - Know what results you're getting. Continue to monitor your results and adjust your actions if needed in order to get the results you want.
- Choose a role model - Accelerate your progress towards success by modeling those who are already successful. It's much easier to copy what someone else has already done. What's even better, is you can then improve upon what someone has done and achieve better results, often in a shorter period of time.
- Visualize, visualize visualize and FEEL what it is going to be like once your goals is achieved. Live it NOW!
What do you do every day to ensure you are on target in reaching your goals? How & when do you set new ones? What is your recipe for success?

Embrace The Terror Barrier & Do It Anyway!
I just love Bob Proctor. He has been such an inspiration and mentor throughout my life. Here is a great email that I received today and thought...it really must be shared. Thank Bob!
Hi Kim,
The first ten years of my life were spent in Owen Sound, Ontario. It's a small town a few hours north of Toronto. I can vividly remember spending the summer days with my family at Harrison Park where there was a really great swimming pool. I would watch as the older kids went up the ladder to either jump or dive off the high diving board. They were having a great time. Wanting to be accepted by the older kids, I too went up the ladder ... reluctantly, but I climbed it.
I will never forget the terror that gripped my mind and body when I looked down. Unfortunately, all the coaxing in the world wouldn't have been sufficient to get me to jump off that board! There was no way I could do it. Feeling defeated, I climbed back down the ladder trying desperately to hide my embarrassment.
That was the first time in my life that I can recall coming up against the Terror Barrier. Unfortunately, not only did I lose out on the excitement and thrill that would have been gained by jumping ... I also lost a little self-respect.
If you think back, you will probably be able to recall the first time you came face-to-face with the Terror Barrier. Did you step through it to freedom or back into safety, imprisoned by your own fears?
The Terror Barrier is a real entity
Now, I could waste a lot of breath telling you that the Terror Barrier is a figment as gauzy and hazy as the smoke from an extinguished campfire. But you'll tell me differently, because fear can feel like a very real entity. What you think in your head is often acted out in your body - when faced with their Terror Barrier, people will actually break out in a cold sweat, find themselves covered in sudden hives, and even feel their hearts palpitate. Your perception is your reality! That's how soundly your paradigms of "no" and "it can't be done" are grounded in your Mind. Your comfortable mind will do anything it can think of to back you away from the "danger" of the unknown, just as it had me backing down those diving-board stairs.
In James Allan's classic, "As A Man Thinketh," he mentioned that fear can kill a person faster than a speeding bullet. While coming up against your Terror Barrier might not kill you physically, it certainly kills something inside you - like it did that day I stood on the diving board.
How to be a wrecking ball on your own Terror Barrier
1. Bulldoze through it scared. That's right ... just keep marching, no matter how badly your feet want to stay rooted to the ground. Refuse to permit this negative demon to control you, your emotions ...your future.
2. Remember - the Terror Barrier rears its ugly head every time we attempt to make a major move in life into an area we have never traveled before. It's as natural as day and night. Where before you used to let it stop you cold, now you can simply shrug and tell yourself, "Oh, there it is again. Well! This must really mean something great to me!"
3. Then, further remind yourself that it might be an unknown, but the other side of that Terror Barrier will have you that much closer to your goal. I'd encourage you to fall in love with THAT feeling of accomplishment, get wrapped up in it! I often say that if your goal doesn't scare and excite you at the same time, you're going after the wrong goal!
Eleanor Roosevelt said, "You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing you think you cannot do." That is excellent advice. By following her advice you will liberate yourself from the crippling emotional state that the Terror Barrier causes.
Do it scared. Begin to visualize yourself successfully being a wrecking ball on that Terror Barrier of yours. Mentally see yourself winning. Remember, perception IS reality!
To your success,
Bob Proctor

The simplest plans are the best. We do tend to overcomplicate things but when broken down into easily achieveable goals we can succeed at anything we put our mind to. Regarding your comment about thinking things are 'lucky' or even 'unlucky'. I have never been superstitious as a rule but I do have a regular positive result from anything to do with the number 13. I don't go out of my way to try and make a lucky event happen by planning it around that date, or use anything specifically with 13 in it (like lottery numbers) but my association with that number has always been extraordinarily positive.
