1 Dream Builder Everyone needs a plan...a documented list of things to do. Without this your life is likely to be rudderless. Mind Rich... The Seeds Of Wealth By Brad Sugars (edited) International Chairman - ActionCOACH (from ) Every business owner, in fact every person in our society is creating their life anew every single day. It has been said that your current reality now is only a result of your past futures becoming real. Or, put another way, your position today is the result of all the decisions you made in the past. The challenge here is that most people think, all I have to do is change my decisions and I'll create a new reality. WRONG For, you can only do what you are, and what you are is determined by what you think about every single minute of every single day. For most people, their life and desire to succeed could be summed up with a simple thought. If you continue to plant tomato seeds, you can't expect a great oak tree to grow. You see, most people plant seeds, or thoughts, in their mind every single day of lack, limitation, want and fear, and then wonder why these trees grow to become their reality. Now, even if you don't plant them there yourself, all you have to do is to watch the news, talk with others, or sit with someone and allow them to affect your thoughts (seeds) and hey presto the seeds are planted. One of the simplest examples of this reality is when you say to yourself, 'Don't forget, don't forget ' and what do you do? Forget why, because the seed you planted was the central theme of your sentence. Instead, your central theme could have been to 'remember'. Here's a suggestion for how you can create a RICH MIND Firstly, you've got to expand your picture Some people call this your vision, goals, or dreams I was once taught a simple saying that might help, 'Nothing if not first a dream' So, dream bigger create a new idea of your life think of your life as an AND, not an OR. A life where you can be this AND that, not just this or that a life where you can do A AND B, not just a or b a life where you can live your dreams, not just some little bits of them Once you've created a new picture, a massive new picture it's time to plant the seeds Here are the 3 steps to doing this in your life 1. Firstly, create a list of affirmations about yourself and how you want to be, starting with 'I AM' things like, I am a leader, I am rich, etc. State these affirmations in the positive and present tense out loud every single day. Paste them on your mirror! 2. Secondly, create a dream chart gather lots of magazines and search for words and pictures of your new reality cut them out for several hours and them glue everything to a big sheet of card. Put this somewhere where you'll see it every morning. 3. And thirdly, and most importantly invest 20 minutes by yourself every single morning visualizing your new reality. Simply close your eyes and focus on everything you've pictured in your new reality. Plant all the new seeds every morning Remember two things while you're doing all this 1. You are creating a new YOU you're becoming someone different, and when you are someone different you will do things differently You can only do what you are so change who you are. And, 2. your subconscious mind cannot determine the difference between dreams and reality. So feed it dreams often. ActionCOACH Limited 2007

2 Do these two steps, create a bigger picture and then use these techniques to impress this picture on your subconscious and step 3 will take care of itself Step 3 is to patiently watch everything materialize in front of you. As you change who you are, you'll change what you do and thus you'll change what you have. Your new reality will unfold right before you eyes Start planting the seeds of wealth right now by completing as much of the following form as you can! To achieve anything in life it is important to know firstly where you want to be at some point in the future. Covey refers to this as begin with the end in mind. In other words start from where you want to be and work backwards. That way you get to eliminate those things that stand in the way from a future point of view, rather than an historical one. The Action Dream Builder Process follows the following steps 1. Idealisation complete these pages making sure you describe your most ideal life. Shoot for the stars and at the very least you ll hit the moon. 2. Visualisation invest 10 minutes each morning and 10 in the evening with your eyes closed visualising everything you have written about, dreamt about and thought about in you mind as if it s already real Also, buy a large pile of magazines, several large sheets of card, scissors and glue and cut out words, pictures events, places and things that form your dreams and create a large collage of your dreams, or what we call a Dream Chart 3. Verbalisation make a list of 21 I AM statements about your future self. Describe traits you want to build on or, more specifically, will need to become the person you need to become in order to do the things you need to do, to have and experience all you dream of. State these out aloud every single day at least twice with as much passion, volume and desire as you possibly can 4. Materialisation Choose every day that all you dream of will be yours and when you believe it you will see it The following pages can be used to complete the process. Let s start with the easy area - IDEALISATION. This covers three main areas: HAVE - explore the physical things, toys or should I say, stuff you want to have Houses Cars Boats Planes Helicopters Bikes Jewellery Furniture Electronic Stuff Art Pets Clothes Library Investments Properties Shares Cash Businesses Having things is what most people strive for, however the question then is HOW to get them? DO now get a little more adventurous, let s look at the things you want to do, the places you want to go and the experiences you want to have in your life Major Achievements Awards Donations Kids Money Sporting/Special Events Holidays Hobbies Nature Health Fitness Seminars Restaurants Shows Fun Times And that is where many people end up doing a whole lot of things so they can have a whole lot of things. Having things because they are there, and doing what s required to get them. But the real question is WHY? BEING here s where you really have to start to think about who it is you want to be, how you want people to remember you, and most importantly what s important to you Beliefs Spiritual Emotions Friendship Family New Identities Roles Values So now get going and start filling in the blanks. Remember there is no right or wrong just whatever you believe about you. Be as specific and detailed as you need to be, so that you get a real sense of what it s like to have, do or be those things. Most of all HAVE FUN!!! ActionCOACH Limited

10 3. Verbalisation. Make a list of (at least) 21 I AM statements about your future self. Describe traits you want to build on, or more specifically, those you will need to become the person you need to become in order to do the things you need to do, so that you can have and experience all you dream of.

11 4. Materialisation. Choose every day that all you dream of will be yours and when you believe it, you will see it. Use the words: I now choose Now you have a feel for where you want to end up, or what you want your life to be about, it s important to start to be a bit more specific about how you get there. This next step is aimed at getting you to recognize that over time you may need to change...not just in what you do, but what you think. So this is about mindset. We re not looking for the specifics..we ll get to that later. Just think about what you would want in each of these areas. Long Term Goals The best way to achieve your goals is to define your long term goals (5-10 years or more if you would prefer!) Then break it down into 3 year and 1 year goals. This means that after 1 year or 2 years you will know if you are on track to your 5 year goals. The drive to make your business a success often comes from the knowledge that with your business success comes the ability to achieve your personal goals... so be specific! Tip! Write emotively and in the present tense. Example... I feel elated and humbled by just completing the Kokoda track, its Anzac day ActionCOACH Limited
