I am sure you will agree that if there is one key ingredient to being success at anything, it’s being persistent. What I love about being persistent is that you don’t have to be smart or have some
special talent.
Read more I think it’s very obvious that the benefits of being persistent are priceless. As challenging as things can be in our personal lives we need all the skills possible to keep moving forward in order to obtain the results we are seeking.
If you have a plan and are persistent you will get results. The key is to be persistent without the use of willpower. As you already know willpower doesn’t last long. When you woke up this morning you didn’t tell yourself, "self, start breathing, or self, start blinking," you just did it. No thinking to it.
Imagine having this same natural reflex when it comes to being persistent. Think about everything that you have to do on an hourly, daily or weekly basis. Now think about what it would be like if you could approach each thing on your list without having a mental battle – without putting off what should be done now. You can also imagine the personal rewards that you would enjoy.
Maybe you are just burned out and you’ve lost some of that drive you once had. Maybe you are easily discouraged. Let’s say, for example, that you are in sales. In this case, your challenge may be balancing your persistence. Although you know that calling your customers will eventually result in sales, you may feel as though you are bothering your prospective customer. You’ll know how to solve that problem after this program.
We are not talking about having a persistent mind set through positive thinking. Positive thinking is like spray paint on rust. It doesn’t last long. When you finish this program you will know what being persistent really means as you work toward achieving your goals with fun and ease.
CD 1
I will start off focusing on two key points in this session. The first is what you can do to maintain a persistent mind set and how to continue improving in this area.
I will focus on a key benefit that being persistent will give you. Once you have this mastered you will see results immediately. Read more
From there, we will delve into the creation of the correct mind set in order to be appropriately persistent when calling or contacting people. The challenge here is that if you continue calling, you feel as though you will upset the customer. After learning these techniques you will immediately eliminate these thoughts and watch your persistent mind set go into overdrive.
We will also cover the concept of irrational optimism. Are you irrationally optimistic? Do you develop an idea or goal and begin with such unrealistic expectations that you very quickly give up or "fall off the horse"? This fall takes you from an emotional high to a painful low – putting you back at square one and feeling as though you have accomplished nothing. You will learn how to diagnose irrational optimism and more importantly how to prevent it.
Continuing to build on controlling your emotions, you will learn how to master the ability to keep a "No" from affecting you mentally. Since there’s no question that the more persistent you are the more "No’s" you will get, it is important to keep moving forward in order to achieve the results you are seeking.
On the other end of the spectrum we will discuss how to determine at what point it is necessary to stop being persistent. You will learn when it is no longer worth your time to pursue a prospect or an idea. This one key solution will save you tons of wasted time while allowing you to make more money.
We will wrap up by gaining a proper understanding of the saying "Success is a journey, not a destination." This understanding allows you to continue your persistence and avoid the emotional roller coaster.
CD 2
To continue to be successful at anything it’s important that we maintain a level of drive and enthusiasm. This is incredibly important. Read more
If you have had goals in the past but lost the drive or enthusiasm to complete them mid-way, you must first determine why this is happening. Without this understanding, it will be impossible to regain your drive and enthusiasm. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to determine that without drive and enthusiasm you are not likely to achieve your goal. I will share with you a key point in controlling and managing your drive and enthusiasm so that you are properly in the driver’s seat with full control and at full throttle.
One of the things that you will notice is that I do not offer a bunch of pump up, rah rah stuff. Permanent and consistent change comes from finding the mental blocks that slow us down and then changing them. This is where you begin to learn how to shift your thinking process so that your negative thoughts and feelings do not prevent you from moving forward.
CD 3
If you don’t have the right mind set while trying to be persistent you could be setting yourself up for failure. I remember when the thought of being a failure used to consume my thoughts. Who wants to keep moving forward when they feel like a failure? I know I don’t! Read more
We are going to discuss the process of managing thoughts and feelings of failure. Be prepared to watching feelings of failure disappear once you’ve learned how to master this session. It has worked for me and it will work for you as well!
As you might know by now, I have gone through many negative things in my life time. I have truly experienced more tragedy in my life than five or ten people combined. These experiences have taught me the one key mental ingredient that has allowed me to keep moving forward toward my goals. Without this ingredient I could surely fail. I am going to share with you ways to have that ingredient in abundance.
We will also discuss clear and concise ways to stay focused.
CD 4
Have you ever said something like, "When it rains it pours"? Sure you have! This is a sure killer to any persistent attitude you might have. Do you ever hear people saying statements like this when things are going their way? Certainly not! Read more
This is just one of the several statements that I call Attitude Adjusting statements. The moment you say them you instantly put the brakes on to obtaining your success and it affects your attitude immediately. I am going to show you how to remove these statements from your thinking so that you will continue to win, win, win.
We all have the tendency to get stuck in a comfort zone that doesn’t serve us. It can seem so painful to leave it. I will be discussing with you how you can break that pattern. The key benefit you get from mastering this is that you won’t keep starting something and then soon stop. It will enhance your ability to stay consistent toward your goals.
At this point it is time to create your own personal leverage list. I will share with you how to use this list to create even more of a persistent attitude. This is one of the most effective ways I know to go from a lack of drive to a burst of motivation – you’re going to love this one!
You will also learn my process to change your negative thoughts and associations toward fear or being persistent. There is great danger in having negative associations toward our goals; we will never move forward. My goal in this segment is to show you how to keep this from happening so that taking action toward your goals becomes enjoyable. This segment is a great eye opener.
CD 5
One thing that used to make it very difficult for me to move forward was the fact that so many things I tried seemed to fail. Nothing ever seemed to work for me. I wanted to figure out a way to stop these thoughts and feelings from
controlling me. Read more
I created a simple three step process that I use to train myself to keep my dreams alive. Once you master this process you will be amazed as to how quickly you can bounce back and keep taking action toward your goals.
Have you ever stopped to take the time to think about how much you accomplish right before leaving for a vacation? You can literally do five days of work in three days to be ready for that well deserved trip.
Now imagine if you could take that trip in your mind every day? You would accomplish a great amount on a day to day basis and usually have fun doing it. I am going to use this concept with you and teach you how to take that trip in your mind every day. You will see your levels of persistence and drive increase which will convert to results.
In all my years of working toward my goals I have noticed that there seemed to be one other key ingredient that kept me focused and consistent. It was a state of mind. There are many different states of minds that we can adopt. I am going to share with you one state and how to master it. Be prepared to be unstoppable after you learn to master this one.
You are also going to hear incredible stories of people who seemed to have had an unbelievable amount of failure in their lives. I will also share with you their many successes. You’ll be both inspired and motivated to keep reaching for your goals after listening to these amazing stories.
CD 6
We can often feel as if we are the only one going through our own individual problems, causing us to feel lonely and
lose drive. Read more
Here is your opportunity to hear some incredible success stories from great icons. You will surely realize you are not alone. After listening to this session you will realize that you can accomplish anything that you set your mind to.
We will also review the entire program. I highly recommend using this final CD as a review session every month. This will be a great way to keep you on track and always know "Persistence, What It Really Means!"
