Maximum Momentum Tele-Seminar Most people think they want more than they really do, and they settle for a lot less than they could get. ~Earl Nightingale~ Momentum is defined as the power residing in a moving object; the force or speed of movement; the amount of motion in movement. Momentum remains constant unless acted upon by an outside force. In this program, that outside force is Y O U!!!!!!! Over the next 90 days, you re going to help you choose a goal and create M A X I M U M M O M E N T U M in order to reach that goal. The idea is to create M A X I M U M M O M E N T U M by identifying the right activities for your goal, and then performing that activity in a massive way, thus creating M A X I M UM MOMENTUM. This process may require you to do some things you ve never done. That s a necessary part of success! This will be a learning experience. What you learn in the next 90 days you will be able to take and apply over and over, for the rest of your life. You ll be able to apply the principles that you learn in this program whenever you begin a new project or task. Each time you do it, it will become easier and more natural. Let s begin! 2008 No Dream Too Big LLC Maximum Momentum 3
How to Use This Program Each week during the next 90 days has a specific section in this workbook. Using this workbook every day will help you to stay committed and focused on the process and on the goal you choose to accomplish in the next 90 days. You want to become fully saturated by your goal, and using this workbook will help you along your journey of goal achievement. The workbook will tell you when to listen to a certain CD. You can listen to it as many times as you like. You can go back to previous CD s as often as you like. Just don t go forward in the process by listening to CD s you haven t reached yet. You may become overwhelmed in the process by doing so. Some of the steps in this process may seem repetitive. Repetition is a law of learning. In order to truly learn something and make it a part of your subconscious, you must repeat it over and over and over again. In order to adopt a new habit, you must do an activity every day for a minimum of 30 days. That s why repetition is a key part of this program. This program is not for the faint of heart. 90 days is not a very long time period when it comes to reaching a specific goal. The next 90 days are very action oriented. You will be engaging in several activities, probably even things you have never done before. What really makes this program wonderful is who you will become in the process of completing these next 90 days. Upon completion of the program, you re going to be very proud of yourself and what you ve done during these 90 days. The biggest winners are not always those who make the most money, drive the fanciest car, or weigh the perfect weight. The biggest winners in this program will be those who make the biggest improvements. This is YOUR goal. YOUR journey. Really put energy into this process. Make it meaningful! 2008 No Dream Too Big LLC Maximum Momentum 4
W E E K 1 This week, you will be focusing on examining your current state of life and which areas of your life you would like to change. You will then pick one main goal to focus on during these 90 days. You can go at your own pace in the workbook, just make sure you get each section completed by the end of that week. First, l i s t e n t o C D 1 fully and completely. Take notes while listening to the CD. Write down things that grab your attention, things that you want to remember, maybe even things that you don t quite understand yet. Write your notes either here on another sheet of paper. If you write them in your workbook, they will be easily accessible, and you will be able to refer back to them again and again. N O T E S 2008 No Dream Too Big LLC Maximum Momentum 5
Take a Self-Inventory The first step in this process is to choose a goal. This will be a goal that you wish to achieve in 90 days. Find some time to sit, relax, and get quiet. Ask yourself: Where are you now? Where would you like to be? Describe the various aspects of your life, as they exist now. Paint a clear and honest picture of your life. Be specific. This is the current state of my CAREER (job, vocation, income, level of education): This is the current state of my SOCIAL LIFE (family, friends, marriage, dating life): 2008 No Dream Too Big LLC Maximum Momentum 6
This is the current state of my FINANCIAL life (sources of income, debts, investments, things I own): This is the current state of my HEALTH (physical, mental, and spiritual): This is the current state of my PERSONAL LIFE (hobbies, vacations, leisure time, personal and spiritual life): Really be honest with yourself in terms of where you are in your life. There is no right or wrong answer. In order to achieve your goals and live the life you want and deserve to live, you must examine where you are right now, T O D A Y. 2008 No Dream Too Big LLC Maximum Momentum 7
Choosing a Goal Next, pick one area of your life that you would like to focus on in the next 90 days. Perhaps you want to lose 10, 15, or 20 pounds. Perhaps you want to double your current income. Perhaps you want to buy a house. Perhaps you want to change careers. Ultimately, the goal you choose is up to you. Choose something that you want, and not something that you need. There is little desire in necessity, but extraordinary amounts of desire in what you want. The more specific the goal, the better it is for your subconscious and the Universe to help you achieve that goal. Measure your goal by the 5 smart steps: specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and with a time limit. If someone else read your goal, they should be able to see the goal in their mind s eye the same way that you would see it. It s important to remember that you don t have to know HOW you re going to achieve your goal. The how comes later! You must simply choose something that you REALLY WANT. It must hold a significant amount of desire when you think about reaching it. If you already know how to achieve the goal, or it s something you ve accomplished in the past, more than likely it s not a big enough goal for the next 90 days. Only pick one main goal for this 90-day process. That s the only way that you will achieve maximum momentum in regards to your success level. Don t continue onto the next section until you have chosen a specific goal that you want to achieve within 90 days. Always state your goal in the present tense, and never in the future tense. By saying it in the future tense, your subconscious sees your goal as always in the future, and never quite reached or attained. By stating it in the positive, your subconscious sees your goal as already achieved, and will help you to take actions that align you with that goal. 2008 No Dream Too Big LLC Maximum Momentum 8
Begin your goal with the words, I am so happy and grateful now that. This statement automatically puts your goal in the present tense and in a grateful state of mind. A positive and grateful state of mind puts you in alignment with your goal. This allows you to achieve the goal faster and more effectively. Make sure the statement that follows remains in the present tense. Be specific and vivid, but short and to the point. You want to be able to remember your goal and speak it upon request. Inside the word emotion is motion. Emotions help to put your goals into motion. They help you to begin to take action. Adding real meaning and emotion to your goal statement makes it much more powerful than merely speaking it as though it was just another random sentence. What is your 90-day goal? Write it below: I am so happy and grateful now that Answer the following questions at the end of each day of the week: Did I say my goal out loud and with emotion this morning? Did I say my goal out loud and with emotion this evening? Rewrite your 90-day goal here: I am so happy and grateful now that 2008 No Dream Too Big LLC Maximum Momentum 9
Take Action Write your goal on an index card, and begin to carry that index card around with you for the next 90 days. Keep it in your pocket. Read it upon waking, and before retiring at night. Read it in the afternoon and in the evening. You want to become fully absorbed and saturated with your goal. The more you tell yourself your goal, stated in the positive tense, the more you will believe you can achieve it. You will gain confidence and strength simply by reading your goal throughout the day for the next 90 days. Answer the following questions at the end of each day: Did I say my goal out loud and with emotion this morning? Did I say my goal out loud and with emotion this evening? If you're coasting, you're either losing momentum or else you're headed downhill. Joan Welsh 2008 No Dream Too Big LLC Maximum Momentum 10
Core Activities Rewrite your 90-day goal here: I am so happy and grateful now that Every single goal has core activities. You could do all the action in the world, take all the action in the world, and create momentum, but it wouldn t be towards your goal if you were not engaged in the right activity. If you ve been working on your goal for several months, or even several years, and you re not any closer to that goal, almost always it s because the activities weren t the right activities. Begin to write down every activity that comes to mind that you will need to do in order to achieve your goal. No matter how big or small the activity seems to be, write it down. Some activities you may need to do just once, and some activities you may need to do every day. For example, if your goal is to run a marathon, you will need to fill out and send in the application form just once, but you will need to run every day. Over the course of the week, do some research on your goal. Do you know of anyone that has accomplished the goal you wish to accomplish? Are there some books you own that relate to your goal? Do some research and see what you find related to reaching your goal. N O T E S 2008 No Dream Too Big LLC Maximum Momentum 11
Week 2 Rewrite your 90-day goal here: I am so happy and grateful now that L i s t e n t o C D 2. It is a call recorded with Bob Proctor. In this CD, Bob Proctor refers to You Squared, a VERY powerful book by Price Pritchett. The information this small book contains will help you to step outside of your comfort zone and take a quantum leap. N O T E S Answer the following questions at the end of each day: Did I say my goal out loud and with emotion this morning? Did I say my goal out loud and with emotion this evening? 2008 No Dream Too Big LLC Maximum Momentum 12
Choose Your Core Activities Rewrite your 90-day goal here: I am so happy and grateful now that Once you have gathered research related to your goal, you will need to come up with 20 activities that you could do in order to reach this goal. Write down every activity that comes to your mind, no matter how big or small the activity may be. Some activities you may need to do just once, and some activities you may need to do every day. For example, if your goal is to run a marathon, you will need to fill out and send in the application form just once, but you will need to run every day, or most days. Come up with 20 activities that you may need to do in order to reach your 90-day goal. These are the activities that I may need to do in order to reach my goal: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 2008 No Dream Too Big LLC Maximum Momentum 13
9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. Next, you will need to rank these 20 activities that you wrote down yesterday, and come up with the top 5 activities. These 5 activities are to be the 5 most important things you ll need to be doing in the next 90 days in order to reach your goal. Base your decision upon the research you ve done related to achieving this goal. Your momentum will come from these repeated activities. That is the fastest and easiest way to build and reach maximum momentum. If you do these five core activities, whatever they may be for you, you re going to reach your goal. 2008 No Dream Too Big LLC Maximum Momentum 14
Take Action Look over your list of 20 activities. Write down the activities that COULD be included in your top 5 activities: N E X T, begin to narrow down the activities to five activities. Choose which five activities, if done daily, will most likely help you to reach your goal in 90 days. Which five activities will generate the most momentum for you, when done on a daily basis? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. S T A R T walking, talking, breathing, sleeping with the idea that you re going to achieve this goal, period. Do whatever you need to in order to build up your belief. Fall in love with your goal! Become healthily obsessed with it. Go to work on your belief right away. Don t wait to do it! 2008 No Dream Too Big LLC Maximum Momentum 15
There s a season for everything. You ve decided this is the season for your goal, the season to go to the next level. If you have the attitude to do whatever it takes to achieve your goal, I guarantee you that at the end of the 90 days, you re going to be so excited and happy with what you ve done. Step out in faith. This is a growing process, and part of the growing process is doing things you ve never done before. Your goal simply requires a single-minded purpose, going after it everyday and putting it at the top of your list. If your position is everywhere, your momentum is Zero. Michael Korda 2008 No Dream Too Big LLC Maximum Momentum 16
Identifying Self-Limiting Behavior Rewrite your 90-day goal here: I am so happy and grateful now that The creative power in you is unlimited. There truly are no limits to what you are capable of, and what you can do! Identify times in your life when you held yourself back because you didn t think you could accomplish that certain task, goal, or activity. Perhaps you attempted something several times, but always stopped just short of the prize. Being aware of these times in your life will help you to realize how often you have short changed yourself. List specific circumstances here: Identify times in your life when you did accomplish specific goals, dreams, projects, etc. Remember how good you felt once you finished it? List specific circumstances here: 2008 No Dream Too Big LLC Maximum Momentum 17
The Power of Giving Rewrite your 90-day goal here: I am so happy and grateful now that Right now, at this moment, you are capable of multiplying your performance levels. You don t have to settle for things as they are now! If you want to multiply your performance, start by looking for opportunity. Opportunity comes through giving, not through receiving. Begin to look for opportunities where you can give to those around you. Giving can be in the form of money, time, helping, and caring for the environment, a compliment, even something as simple as a smile. Once you have decided what you are going to get, you can forget about getting, and instead focus on giving. The Universe is governed by a law of circulation, what you give always comes back to you, in one form or another. When are times that you gave, without expecting something in return? When have you given simply for the sheer pleasure of how it would be appreciated? List those times here: 2008 No Dream Too Big LLC Maximum Momentum 18
Before you can make a quantum leap and multiply your level of performance, you must know where you are, and where you want to go. You must have a clearly developed and defined image of where you are headed. It s unlikely that you would go on a road trip from New York to Los Angeles without a road map, unless you had made the same trip several times before. The same goes for goal achievement. You must know where you are, and where you are headed, in order for you to multiply your achievement level. However, once you set forth on your journey, you don t have to keep looking behind you. While driving from New York to Los Angeles, you don t need to keep looking back behind you to see how far you ve gone. You simply stay focused, looking forward towards your destination, your goal of arrival. Continually remind yourself of your goal and where you want to finish in these 90 days. Answer the following questions at the end of each day: Did I say my goal out loud and with emotion this morning? Did I say my goal out loud and with emotion this evening? 2008 No Dream Too Big LLC Maximum Momentum 19
Habit Patterns Rewrite your 90-day goal here: I am so happy and grateful now that Quantum leaps can come without apparent effort. They seem to violate common sense. Yet, after they happen, oftentimes they re viewed as practical, sensible, and even obvious steps. They just don t seem obvious at the moment. Quantum leaps are typically simple, energetic, efficient, and timesaving maneuvers. Make up your mind. Decide to do something extraordinary! You must change your rules for success. Oftentimes, we become very attached to our habit pattern. A S K Y O U R S E L F What are your current habit patterns? What results, good or bad, have my habit patterns given me in the past? Your most dependable behaviors can become the major obstacles to your future success. They can actually cripple your progress by standing as boundary lines that limit what you can accomplish in your life. Continuing to do things simply because they re comfortable and familiar will begin to impede on your progress. They end up holding you back and keeping you from achieving the amount of success that you are capable of. 2008 No Dream Too Big LLC Maximum Momentum 20
You don t have to try harder. Just try something different. Try doing something in a new way. For example, if you exercise every day, but do the same exercises each time, introduce some new exercises into your routine. If you always eat the same thing for lunch, introduce a new, healthy option into your diet. Introducing new things into your life helps to keep your brain active and optimal. The brain thrives on new information. When it stops learning new information, it begins to atrophy. What are some new activities, routines, or habits you can introduce into your daily life? Choose two activities, routines, or habits to begin today. What are they? List and describe them here: Do you feel any resistance to doing these two things? Describe it here: If you feel any resistance or fear related to these new activities, that s normal. That s your paradigm trying to keep you safe. It s very easy for your mind to get comfortable and stuck in its old ways and habits. It tends to see something new as scary and disruptive. Doing new things helps you to disturb the paradigm that tries so hard to hold you back and tries to keep you from expanding. Bob Proctor says that he is uncomfortable with most things, most of the time. He has become comfortable with being uncomfortable, for he is continually disturbing his paradigm. When you disturb your paradigm, you are growing. Disturb your paradigm on a regular basis, and you are automatically growing, expanding, and learning on a continual basis. As you proceed in this goal achievement process, your paradigm and selfimage will try to tell you that you can t do this. It will say you will be safer and more comfortable by staying right where you are at now. This is a normal part of the process. 2008 No Dream Too Big LLC Maximum Momentum 21
Your Spirit, your Higher Self, will guide you if you feed it properly. This is done by continually seeing and picturing your goal and the person that you want to become. If you don t feed your Spirit properly, the fear will guide you. Instead, you will be feeding the paradigm. Fear isn t a bad thing, IF it is handled properly. Oftentimes, fear means you re about to do something big, something great. You re stepping out of our comfort zone. When you feel fear, follow your image. Keep telling yourself what you want to accomplish. Continually picture in your mind s eye where you want to be at the end of these 90 days. Feed this image to your subconscious often enough, and your image will become reality. Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself. George Bernard Shaw 2008 No Dream Too Big LLC Maximum Momentum 22
Week 3 Rewrite your 90-day goal here: I am so happy and grateful now that L i s t e n t o C D 3 fully and completely. Take notes while listening to the CD. Write down things that grab your attention, things that you want to remember, maybe even things that you don t quite understand yet. Write your notes either here on another sheet of paper. If you write them in your workbook, they will be easily accessible, and you will be able to refer back to them again and again. N O T E S 2008 No Dream Too Big LLC Maximum Momentum 23
Your Five Core Activities Rewrite your 90-day goal here: I am so happy and grateful now that So far in this 90-day process, you ve spent a lot of time in the planning process. You ve been thinking about your goal, your habits, what you d like to accomplish, what s holding you back, prioritizing, and examining what s helping you and what s holding you back. You ve set the foundation. Now it s time to begin to take action! Make a commitment to engage in the most committed 90 days of activity you ve ever engaged in. Once you complete this process, you can repeat it again and again, with a new goal each time. The five most important activities that you ve previously chosen for your goal are the guts and core of this process. Make sure your five activities are worded in such a way that they motivate you and remind you of your goal. You want to word them in such a way that they move you to action. If you choose the wrong activities, you may not have momentum in the area that you want. You want your activities to be directly related to your 90-day goal. List your five activities here: 1. 2. 3. 2008 No Dream Too Big LLC Maximum Momentum 24
4. 5. If you hit these activities every day, there is no way that you won t achieve some significant momentum by the end of these 90-days. In order to help you implement these daily activities into your day, you must begin using a Daily Planner. If you already use one, great! Continue using it, every single day. If you have never used a Daily Planner, go to an office supply store, or somewhere that sells Daily Planners. Pick one that is in a format that fits in with your style and preferences. There are also online versions of Daily Planners available as well. How you use it is up to you. You can be very detailed and specific, or you can be general and just list your five activities. Everyone has his or her own way of using a Daily Planner. But one thing is certain: all successful people use a Daily Planner. It helps you to stay focused on your goal and skyrockets your level of success by holding you accountable for your daily actions. T O D A Y, begin to implement these five activities into your day and start using a Daily Planner. Answer the following questions at the end of each day: Did I use my Daily Planner today? Did I perform my 5 activities today? Did I say my goal out loud and with emotion this morning? Did I say my goal out loud and with emotion this evening? 2008 No Dream Too Big LLC Maximum Momentum 25
Momentum, Planning, And Action For this 90-day period, don t look back and see how far you ve come. Your main objective is just to GO. You re going to evaluate your activity on a regular basis to make sure the activities you re doing are the right activities. You re going to look at what the activity is producing, but you re not going to worry about how far down the road you ve come. Just know in faith that you re in the goal achieving process. If you keep doing your five activities, and visualizing yourself accomplishing your goal, you ll be happy with how far you ve come by the end of the 90-days. Simply make a commitment to yourself that you re just going to go! Momentum is all front end loaded. A space shuttle uses 80% of its fuel in the first ¼ mile. The other 20% took it into space and returned it back to Earth. It s the 80% of the energy that was required to get it off of the ground that was most important. Without that 80% of energy used in the very beginning of the journey, the mission would have been unsuccessful. That s what you re doing in this process. This first part of the process, you re building the foundation for you to achieve your goal. You ll use the majority of your effort and energy in expanding your comfort zone and trying new things. You ll meet obstacles, objections, fear, and procrastination. Just remember: without this 80% of energy and effort, you will not set a firm enough foundation for you to reach your goal. During these first two months, you re laying the foundation for you to achieve your goal. Your five activities may not show results, even when they re the right activities. At the end of the 90-days, those same five activities can end up showing massive and incredible results. In our society today, we expect a quick fix. We want to be immediately satisfied. When it comes to goal achievement, a quick fix just doesn t work. It s not impossible. If you go for the quick fix, your results won t last. Remember when you had a New Year s resolution to lose 20 pounds? You made drastic changes in your diet and exercise, and they lasted forever, right? 2008 No Dream Too Big LLC Maximum Momentum 26
More than likely, your changes lasted maybe a week or two, and a month if you re lucky. Why is that? You didn t set a foundation. You wanted a quick result. Maybe you took some weight loss pills instead of eating better and exercising. Quick fixes never last. Instead, you ve got to implement lasting changes and habits in order to improve your lifestyle and success level. Get comfortable with being uncomfortable. It s against the norm to be uncomfortable. Everyone seeks comfort. But in order to expand and grow your level of consciousness and achievement, growth requires discomfort. It s impossible to fail when you focus on and visualize what you want. Add the right activities to your goal, and you will reach success! This 90-day process has two main components: planning and action. The activity part of the process is the easy part. It s something you simply repeat over and over. If the activities are new to you, once you do them for a long enough period of time, you gain experience. The activities become easier and easier to do. The hardest part of the process is in the planning process. You have to be able to see your goal clearly and see yourself accomplishing your goal. You have to plan the process. You have to make the commitment to achieve your goal in 90-days. You ve set your goal. You ve chosen the five core activities for that goal. You ve made a commitment. You ve already done the hardest part! Now, for the next 60 days, all that is required is for you to keep doing those five activities, every day. It s important to realize that the people you spend your time with may not always support you in your goal process. People become comfortable with their surroundings. When those surroundings change, their paradigm and comfort zone are disturbed. When you begin to change your habits, your life, and yourself for the better, the process can sometimes scare or disturb those around you. The people you thought were supportive of you may not be as helpful and supportive as you had hoped. If this occurs, that s okay. Sometimes the changes that you make in your life for the better will inspire those around you to change their habits and lifestyle as 2008 No Dream Too Big LLC Maximum Momentum 27
well. Sometimes the changes you make in your life upset and disturb the people around you. Ask yourself if the people you spend your time with are successful. Do their lives reflect the type of life that you want to live? If so, great! They will be a great support system as you move along in your journey. If the answer is no, you may have to spend less time with these people during this process. If that is not possible, you must continually remind yourself of your goal, and the person that you will become by remaining in this process. If these people do not reflect where you want to be in life, why would you let them stop you from becoming the person that you know you can become? Remain S T R O N G. Stay C O M M I T T E D. Believe that you will reach S U C C E S S! You were born to win, but to be a winner you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win. Zig Ziglar 2008 No Dream Too Big LLC Maximum Momentum 28

L i s t e n t o C D 4 fully and completely. Take notes while listening to the CD. Write down things that grab your attention, things that you want to remember, maybe even things that you don t quite understand yet. Write your notes either here on another sheet of paper. If you write them in your workbook, they will be easily accessible, and you will be able to refer back to them again and again. N O T E S 2008 No Dream Too Big LLC Maximum Momentum 29
The Importance of Victories Rewrite your 90-day goal here: I am so happy and grateful now that List your five activities here: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Have I filled out my Daily Planner for today? This week, begin to acknowledge your victories, whether big or small. Celebrating your accomplishments does wonders for your subconscious. When you focus on the positive, you receive more positive things from the outside world. When you celebrate your victories, you tend to repeat them. What victories have you had so far in this 90-day process? List them here: 2008 No Dream Too Big LLC Maximum Momentum 30
Setting Short-Term Goals Along with recognizing and acknowledging your victories, an important aspect of the goal achieving process is in holding yourself accountable for your actions. Starting today, decide what you want to accomplish in the next 4 days, including today. Identify ahead of time what your wins will be by the time you reach Day 28. What are some things you might like to accomplish in the next 4 days? List them here: Of these activities, which ones are you committed to completing by Day 28? List them here: 2008 No Dream Too Big LLC Maximum Momentum 31
Recognizing Failures and Setbacks Rewrite your 90-day goal here: I am so happy and grateful now that List your five activities here: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Have I filled out my Daily Planner for today? Part of this process may involve some setbacks, or things that appear to be setbacks. Failure is a necessary aspect of the road to success. Failure teaches you where you need to change directions, where you need to change course. When pushed through and overcome, a failure becomes a learning experience. The experience takes you far beyond where you could have ever imagined you would be. Have you had any failures or setbacks so far in the process? List them here: 2008 No Dream Too Big LLC Maximum Momentum 32
Have you let these failures or setbacks keep you from achieving your goal? If so, why? Could they be turned into a learning experience, something for which you could feel grateful for later on in the process? Discuss this here: Unless you are extraordinarily good or lucky, your goal achievement process will occasionally include a failure or setback. You can be discouraged, you can be disappointed, or you can be inspired. You can let it hold you back, or you can let it move you forward in the hopes that you ll do better next time. Continue to think about when failure has helped you, and when failure has hurt you. Think about what you ve learned from failure. Think about how your life would be different if you weren t afraid of failure or didn t avoid it from time to time. 2008 No Dream Too Big LLC Maximum Momentum 33
Time for Self-Reflection Every day, you are either moving towards your goals, or away from your goals. Activity is so important along your success journey. Action is the most important aspect of your life. The state of your life is determined by the actions you take or don t take. So far, you ve been in this process for over three weeks. The one-month mark is very near. Are you proud of what you ve accomplished so far in this process? Have you been actively involved in building your dreams, your goals, your success? Discuss your thoughts here: Have you encountered anything unusual or unexpected in the last 26 days? List those things here, both the positive and the negative: If you haven t gotten as far along in the process as you had hoped, that s okay. It s not a sin to get knocked down, but it s a sin to stay there and not get back up. The statement, A winner never quits, and a quitter never wins is so true in this process. It s normal to feel defeated when working towards a goal. Recognizing negative feelings or confusion is important and is the first step in correcting those negative feelings. 2008 No Dream Too Big LLC Maximum Momentum 34
At any time during this process, have you felt discouraged? Have you felt like quitting? List those times here: P E R S E V E R A N C E is one of the most important character traits found in successful people. Be persistent! Your fear and self-doubt will become a thing of the past, as long as you are persistent. The majority of men meet with failure because of their lack of persistence in creating new plans to take the place of those, which fail. Napoleon Hill 2008 No Dream Too Big LLC Maximum Momentum 35
Finding a Balance While action is the most important aspect of the goal achievement process, too much action, if not managed properly, can actually impede on your progress. You want to make sure you take care of your mental, physical, and spiritual health. Don t compromise your health by shortening the duration of your sleep or by skipping meals or eating too many unhealthy foods. Successful people take care of their body, mind, and spirit. They know that to truly thrive at an optimal level requires optimal health on all levels. Have you been taking care of your mental, physical, and spiritual health these last 27 days? Discuss your thoughts here: Do you believe that success requires extra time and effort? If so, do you skip important things such as sleep, meals, exercise, and healthy foods? List your thoughts here: While sometimes missing sleep or meals is required, doing so on a consistent and regular basis is detrimental to your health. When you put your health at the top of your priority list, all other areas of your life tend to fall into place. They require less physical and mental effort to maintain or improve. 2008 No Dream Too Big LLC Maximum Momentum 36
Throughout the rest of this program, continually monitor your health. Make sure you re taking care of yourself so that you can operate at an optimal level of performance, and thus achieve your goal in the best and easiest way possible. Continue to focus on maintaining or improving your physical, mental, and spiritual health. Pick an area of your life and take some active steps to improve it. For example, become vegetarian for a day. Eat nutritious foods, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Do some research on health and nutrition. Talk to someone that you consider to be healthy, and ask them what they typically eat during the day. You could choose to exercise today. Go for a walk or run in your neighborhood. Take out that dusty bike in your garage. Take your dog or a neighbor s dog for a walk. You could read a book that you haven t read in a while, or a book that you bought but haven t had a chance to read yet. Do some crossword puzzles or Sudoku puzzles. They re great for the brain! The activities you could do are endless. 2008 No Dream Too Big LLC Maximum Momentum 37

Procrastination Start thinking about the activities that you know you need to do, but haven t been doing, for whatever reason. What activities have you been delaying or procrastinating? Why is this so? When you continually put off the activities that are essential for your success and goal achievement, you are unnecessarily hampering and delaying your growth. Fear always appears before you are about to do something big, before you are about to make a major change in your life. It s as though it s saying, You re about to change, I m here, hi! It s a result of our evolution as humans. What is the activity that really scares you? What activity do you KNOW you need to do, and in so doing, you will skyrocket your confidence level and success? List it here: Continue to think more about why you are so hesitant to perform this activity, to see it through to completion. Think about if this is a habit of yours throughout your life. If so, wouldn t now be a good time to break the habit? 2008 No Dream Too Big LLC Maximum Momentum 41
Truth Cards Rewrite your 90-day goal here: I am so happy and grateful now that List your five activities here: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Have I filled out my Daily Planner for today? Remember that activity you identified yesterday as the most difficult, the scariest, the one you continually procrastinate? List that activity here: 2008 No Dream Too Big LLC Maximum Momentum 42
Today, you re going to create some Truth Cards related to this activity. Your fears are caused by a limiting belief of some kind. You have the wrong belief about the activity, and that belief is generating the fear you experience when you think about this activity. An example of a limiting belief is: I never have enough time to get done everything that I need to do. We can turn this statement around into a more beneficial and positive statement: I always have enough time to get done everything that I need to do. That statement is much more helpful and conducive to your success than the previous one, isn t it? Your Truth statement may not be true right now. Oftentimes in the beginning, your statement will seem like a complete lie. That s a good thing! That means that you know where you are, and you know where you want to go. If it s a lie, it simply means you re not there yet. You re not at a place where the statement is true. Having your limiting belief and changing it to a Truth statement shows you what you must work towards. Refer back to your limiting belief. Turn that limiting belief into a Truth statement. Write it in such a way that it reflects where you want to go, who you want to be, once that statement is true. Write your new Truth statement here: You want this statement to be in the positive tense. You don t want to say something such as I never eat junk food. Your subconscious will take the words junk food and see just that junk food. A more effective statement would be, I always eat healthy and nutritious foods. Rewrite your Truth statement here; making sure it directly reflects what you DO want, and NOT what you don t want 2008 No Dream Too Big LLC Maximum Momentum 43
Write this Truth statement on an index card. Begin to carry it with you and repeat it throughout the day, even if it s uncomfortable or seems like a lie. Soon, it will turn from a lie into a truth! Answer the following questions at the end of each day: Did I use my Daily Planner today? Did I perform my 5 activities today? What were my victories for today? Did I say my goal out loud and with emotion this morning? Did I say my goal out loud and with emotion this evening? Did I carry my Truth Card around with me and repeat it throughout the day? Am I making progress towards accomplishing my specific goals for the week that I identified previously? 2008 No Dream Too Big LLC Maximum Momentum 44
Still Procrastinating? Today, begin to think about that one activity that you keep delaying and procrastinating. What is the one activity that you know you need to do, but haven t done yet, for whatever reason? List it here: Why are you reluctant to do it?

Write about your feelings and experience here: If you didn t complete that activity yet, you M U S T do it T O D A Y. The 90- day process will be hampered and delayed if you do not do that activity. Every day that you don t do it, you will waste energy simply by thinking about it, worrying about it, ruminating over it. The longer you put it off, the longer you put off your success. 2008 No Dream Too Big LLC Maximum Momentum 47
Week 6 Rewrite your 90-day goal here: I am so happy and grateful now that List your five activities here: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Have I filled out my Daily Planner for today?

Setting the Foundation Through our Habits Rewrite your 90-day goal here: I am so happy and grateful now that List your five activities here: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Have I filled out my Daily Planner for today? In this talk with Bob Proctor, he talks about the common denominator of success. Simply put, the common denominator of success is that successful people do what unsuccessful people don t like to do. It s that simple. Our habits are what build our momentum. They take on a life of their own. It s quite amazing how simple and yet effective having solid habits helps us achieve our goals and dreams. 2008 No Dream Too Big LLC Maximum Momentum 52
This program is founded and based on the habits that we create and build on a daily basis. Begin to examine your habits, both old and new. Are there habits that you used to perform in the past that you no longer perform on a regular basis? List them here: Why did you stop doing them? Has this helped or hurt your success level? Spend time thinking about whether your neglected habits are helping or hurting your level of success. What habits do you associate with successful people? Write them here: 2008 No Dream Too Big LLC Maximum Momentum 53
Of these habits you listed, which ones do you perform on a regular basis? Of the habits previously listed, which ones do you not perform on a regular basis? Why do you not perform these habits? Fear? Procrastination? Lack of energy? List your reasons here: When you re committed to your goals, emotional reasoning doesn t work. Successful people look at excuses (such as the ones you listed in the last question) and disregard them. They stay focused on their goal and move towards their goal every single day. Make a decision to stay focused on your goal and disregard any excuses that crop up. Your results will skyrocket 2008 No Dream Too Big LLC Maximum Momentum 54
What is Your Purpose? Successful people have a purpose. There is a specific reason and purpose behind everything that they do.

Write about it here: What kind of legacy do you want to leave behind after you re gone? Who do you want to be known as? What do you want to be known for? Write your thoughts here: When you are confronted with thoughts of procrastination, fear, and the I don t feel like it syndrome, remind yourself of your ultimate purpose for success and meaning in your life. Imagine how your life would be different if you consistently completed the tasks that you need to do in order to achieve your goal. Would you possibly be able to achieve even more goals, once you establish positive daily habits, and perform them consistently? Write your thoughts here: Spend time carrying out the habits and activities that will help you achieve your goal and raise your success level. 2008 No Dream Too Big LLC Maximum Momentum 55
