INTRODUCTION
Warning!
These
tele-seminars aren't "info-mercials," and they aren't "easy
listening." This course isn't for you if you want to sit back and…
- Wish your way
to success and happiness
- Feel sorry for
yourself, and hope that your life gets better
- Repeat the same
old affirmations in the hopes of building your self-esteem
- Listen to "too
good to be true" snake oil like subliminal self-help tapes
But if you are serious
about taking action, and really want to take your life to the next level,
then this tele-course is for you!
Each tele-seminar
will be practical, hands-on, and action-oriented. You'll learn about
the most powerful tools and techniques for change revealed by cutting-edge
research in the field of positive psychology - the scientific study
of happy, successful, highly-achieving people. And you'll get specific
guidance on how to use these techniques each day before the next tele-seminar.
OVERVIEW
Lesson
#1 - Vision: The Science of Clarifying What You Really Want From Life
Successful people
know what they want - their lives are characterized by a sense of focus,
passion, purpose and meaning. In fact, research shows that people with
clear, un-conflicting goals not only achieve more, they are psychologically
and physically healthier, and are more successful in making life changes.
That's why, in our first tele-seminar, you'll get practical tools for
clarifying your Vision of what you really want from life. You'll learn…
- Why most people
fail when attempting life changes, from weight loss to New Year's
resolutions to starting a business
- How to separate
the REAL science of success from self-help snake oil
- The myths about
success that prevent people from achieving more
- The two defining
master traits of highly successful people
- The six thought
patterns that high-achievers use when thinking about their futures
- How to use Vision
Quest-ions to clarify what you really want from life
- Proven tools
to avoid a life of uncertainty and ambiguity
Lesson #2 - Strategy:
The Science of Turning Lofty Ambitions Into Consistent Action
It's great to have
a long-term Vision of what you want, but "If you think it, it will
come" only works in movies like Field of Dreams. The next step
to success is developing a Strategy for achieving your Vision. In our
second tele-seminar, you'll learn…
- How the greatest
achievers in history have combined life Vision and life Strategy -
and how you can, too
- The proven techniques
for setting goals that will not only enhance your performance, but
will leave you feeling more confident and determined
- The six proven
principles of effective goal setting
- How to create
on-target action plans that prevent distraction and procrastination
- How sports psychologists
help elite athletes achieve peak performance - and how you can use
these same techniques to achieve more in your everyday life
- How to simply
and powerfully record progress toward your goals -- enabling you to
Learn about your success patterns, success drivers, and when to make
course corrections
- Bonus! You'll
learn about the most famous goal-setting study - the one described
by Tony Robbins, Brian Tracy and Zig Ziglar. And you'll learn how
it's just a self-improvement urban legend that was never actually
conducted!
Lesson
#3 - Belief: The REAL Science of "Positive Thinking"
Successful people
believe they will be successful. They have the confidence they will
be able to enact their Strategy (Lesson #2) and achieve their Vision
(Lesson #1). Whether this Belief is labeled self-efficacy, self-confidence
or an internal locus of control, the bottom-line from the scientific
research is clear: people who believe they will be successful are happier
and achieve more than those who don't. That's why tele-seminar #3 will
focus on proven Belief-building techniques. You'll learn…
- The facts, fads
and fictions surrounding the "power of positive thinking"
- How to take your
positive mental attitude to the next level with proven techniques
adapted from cognitive-behavioral therapy and rational-emotive behavior
therapy
- How to avoid
self-destructive states like learned helplessness and self-handicapping
- Why Automatic
Negative Thoughts (ANTs) undermine your confidence and put you at
risk for depression - often without you even realizing it!
- Proven techniques
that prevent isolated ANTs from spinning into cycles of negative thoughts,
bad memories, depressed emotions and counter-productive actions
- How to "argue"
with your counter-productive thoughts effectively, while stripping
them of their negative emotional energy
- Proven ways to
"move beyond" painful events from your past
- Proven techniques
for staying more optimistic (optimism is a powerful predictor of success
in many areas of life, including business, sales, politics and physical
health)
- How to avoid
the "depressive attributional style" and the destructive
3 P's -- personal, permanent, and pervasive -- when understanding
why bad things happen to you
- Why "non-negative
thinking" is just as important as positive thinking
- How to use negative
emotions to create self-confidence and the power to make positive
changes
- How to manage
your "ABC cycles," and turn them into positive spirals
Lesson
#4 - Energy: The Science of Motivation and Momentum
Motivational pump-ups
can feel great. The problem is they usually don't last. But the solid
foundation of our first three steps (Vision, Strategy and Belief) ensures
that any motivational boost gets channeled in a productive direction,
and has a lasting effect on your personal achievements. In our fourth
tele-seminar, we'll look at the science of motivation, and you'll get
proven techniques for creating and channeling positive energy in your
life, including…
- The facts behind
the dramatic experiences of motivational seminars - like walking barefoot
on red-hot coals - and whether they really create lasting motivation
- The science of
generating positive emotions in lasting, authentic ways, and how to
manage both positive and negative emotions more effectively
- How to move toward
your goals with greater determination by using commitment-enhancing
and "pre-commitment" strategies
- How to manage
your attention so that you focus your thoughts on future successes
rather than past failures
- Proven ways to
take action and create "guaranteed successes" that will
generate positive cycles of energy and motivation
- How exercise
increases your overall energy level, and why it is proven to help
people accomplish all types of goals, not just weight-loss goals
- How to use visualization
to enhance motivation, and how to avoid common visualization mistakes
that actually hamper performance
- How to create
more "flow" - the state of enhanced motivation and performance
in which you get so engrossed in an activity that you temporarily
lose your self-awareness (it is often experienced by elite athletes,
and thoroughly studied by sports psychologists)
- How to avoid
procrastination, and ensure that your motivation is channeled in productive
directions
- Why it is easier
to "behave yourself into a new way of thinking" than it
is to "think yourself into a new way of behaving"
Lesson
#5 - Persistence: The Science of Drive and Determination
We all know that
successful people are persistent: they work hard and they don't give
up. But the big question is: How do you get more persistent? That's
why this tele-seminar offers scientifically-proven Persistence-promoting
techniques, and you'll learn how to...
- Use the most
fundamental law in psychology to enhance your own success (and you'll
learn why most people do just the opposite!)
- Create effective
self-reward systems, including the scientifically-tested "deposit-and-refund"
method, that will dramatically improve your personal productivity
- Identify and
de-activate your setback triggers
- Prevent minor
lapses from snowballing into major relapses and total collapses
- Get back on track
after setbacks, and learn positive lessons from negative experiences
- Avoid counter-productive
self-punishment strategies, and how to avoid beating yourself up over
minor mistakes and setbacks
- Surround yourself
with supportive people, and create networks of excellence
- Reshape your
physical environment so that it is motivating, not counterproductive
- Bonus! Persistence
doesn't just increase your accomplishments - it actually enhances
the feeling of happiness itself. We'll explore the latest findings
from the research on happiness and well-being, with a focus on proven
techniques for getting happier while avoiding the "happily-ever-after"
myth.
Lesson
#6 - Cementing: The Science of Creating New Habits and Making Lifestyle
Changes Permanent
It's not hard to
make short-term changes in your life. But it can be very difficult to
make those changes permanent. That's why over 90% of those who lose
weight re-gain it, and most attempts to quit smoking don't last. Our
final tele-seminar will focus on cementing - the science of creating
new habits and making lifestyle changes permanent. You'll learn…
- Why bad habits
often "spontaneously re-emerge," and how to prevent them
from re-surfacing
- Why it is easier
to replace bad habits with positive ones, rather than eliminating
bad habits altogether (and how to do this "habit substitution"
right)
- About the key
findings from the National Weight Control Registry - a research database
of people who have lost over 30 pounds and kept it off for over a
year. Most importantly, you'll learn how to use their techniques for
maintaining weight loss for making lasting changes in any area of
your life.
- How to isolate
negative emotions and prevent them from taking over your day
- Proven techniques
for managing your time effectively
- Why keeping a
"to do" list often sets you up for time-management failures
- How to make sure
you follow through as you strive for on-going self-improvement and
personal growth
