Lets Begin!
Before you read any further and learn the specifics of these questions, I suggest
you take into account the following pieces of advice:
1. Isolate yourself from any outside stimulus
Take out a notebook, a pen or pencil, and go into a room where there are no
phones, televisions or any other items that may distract you from the task at hand.
This particular room should at least have a window.
Ask your family members to give you the necessary time and privacy so that you
may answer these questions. The manner in which you respond to these queries
will, indirectly, improve the quality of the relationship you have with your loved
ones.
2. Allow yourself at least 15 minutes to answer the 7 questions from each role
There are no right or wrong answers to these questions. Therefore, there is no
need to overexert your mind so that you can come up with all types of answers,
each more rational or eloquent than the first.
Just write whatever crosses your mind in that moment, after you read each
question, and avoid "censoring" your answers. Nobody else will read them or scold
you because you forgot to dot your is or cross your ts.
3. Answer these 7 questions as soon as you finish reading this text
Scroll down, right now, to the section of this email that contains the questions and
start answering them. I'm not joking... The paragraphs that come before the
questions themselves do not matter right now.
Therefore... start answering them right now!
And then you can come back and read the rest of this email.
You can write down the questions and your answers in a diary or a notebook or you
can print the PDF document - and answer each question in the area specifically
dedicated to your responses.
It is unlikely that you have the necessary time to give a complete and straight
answer to each of the 7 questions in only 2 minutes. Without a doubt, some of
these questions will persist in your subconscious. Thus, your mind will continue to
come up with new answers for them.
Therefore, I suggest you "leave the bun in the oven" until it is ready. Allow yourself
the required time for the questions and answers to sink in. For this to happen, you
have to revise what you wrote after a while.

pass on the notion that "perseverance is a precursor for success".

policy.
2. The fear of leaving my current workplace and not finding another job that would
be as good or better than the last.
3. My lack of knowledge regarding the development of my own business.

I could surpass these obstacles in the next 6-12 months if I would ask my
entrepreneur friends for help, if I would start my own business right now and if I
would simultaneously manage my business and hold a full-time job until my
business reaches stability.

Examples:
For me, "financial independence" means to be able to earn an income that would
ensure a comfortable way of living for myself, without having to work.
I know that my perception of this concept is correct because every person I admire
for being "financially independent" earns their comfortable living conditions
through sufficient amounts of passive revenues.
To reach this objective, I have accomplished the following, up until now: I have
become a stockholder in a quite profitable company and this has allowed me to
receive significant monthly dividends.
By the end of the year, I have set out to accomplish the following:
1. To lease the apartment I received as an inheritance.

financial goals, each month I spend money on the following:
1. Smokes.
2. Mobile phone bills.
3. Frequent restaurant meals.
The reason I still spend money on these activities is because I don't always think
about the long-term consequences of my actions but about satisfying a short-term
urge I have.
To stop wasting my money in such a manner I aim to:
1. Smoke 1 cigarette less each day until I really quit.
2. Terminate my mobile phone subscription and only use a prepaid card.
3. Have no more than 2 meals a week at a restaurant.

3. How difficult it is to save up money in "these times they live in".

time together. The first 3 stages of this change are:
1. Telling these people that, when it comes to "money", they are not in the least
supportive of my goals.
2. Seeking out those people around me that talk about reaching financial prosperity
with optimism and drive.
3. Spending 1-2 hours a week with the people mentioned above so that I may have
the opportunity to ask them for some advice regarding my finances.

2. Figure out what "rules of the game" - professionally speaking - I must conform to
and which of them only exist to hinder my development.

Your answers:
If someone came up to me and said that, in this country, I don't have the necessary
conditions to become financially prosperous, I would reply ...
The 3 main arguments I would use to persuade this person into realizing that what
they believe is not true would be:
1.
2.
3.
Examples:
If someone came up to me and said that, in this country, I don't have the necessary
conditions to become financially prosperous, I would reply that, as long as they
have this limiting belief, they could even live on "The Island of Prosperity" and still
be poor and live a meaningless life.
The 3 main arguments I would use to persuade this person into realizing that what
they believe is not true would be:
1. Increasing their awareness, when it comes to successful entrepreneurs such as
Anthony Robbins, Richard Branson, Steve Jobs or Oprah Winfrey.
2. Revealing the reasons why their convictions regarding prosperity actually
prevent them from getting what they want.
3. Showing them, that in this country, not only are there successful entrepreneurs,
but also "Business Angels", people that are willing to invest significant amounts of
money in promising start-up companies.

elements are a part of your current relationship?

4. True friendship
5. Unconditional love
The reason I chose these particular 5 elements is because each of them are equally
important to me and represent the "resistance pillars" of this type of relationship.
If even one of them is missing, the entire structure collapses.
In my current relationship, I believe that I experience:
1. Mutual confidence to the extent of 80%.
2. Common or at least compatible personal values to the extent of 60%.
3. Mutual respect to the extent of 50%.

Your answers:
The most difficult moment in my current relationship happened when ...
The underlying cause that gave birth to this crucial event was ...
I managed to overcome this obstacle ...
As a result of this experience, I learned ...
Examples:
The most difficult moment in my current relationship happened when my wife told
me, for the first and last time, that she wanted a divorce.
The underlying cause that gave birth to this crucial event was the fact that, for the
last 3 months, I had spent 14 hours a day at work and less than half an hour a week
with my family because I was too tired.
I managed to overcome this obstacle the very moment I heard the word "divorce"
and became aware of the fact that I was about to lose my family... for a 30%
increase in salary.
As a result of this experience, I learned that my good intention - of providing a
comfortable life for my family - DOES NOT replace my presence and my emotional
involvement in the lives of my loved ones.

1. Having at least 1 hour a day just for myself.
2. Being able to save up money for my personal use only.
3. Allowing myself to have the same amount of time for my professional
development.
The reason why I would have wanted to keep them is because these habits have
helped me realize what it truly means to put myself first.
Yet, what's stopping me from keeping my old habits is the fact that, right now, I am
allowing the relationship I have with my partner to be above my own personal wellbeing.

Examples:
The "tiny flaws" I have "forgiven" my partner for having, for the sake of the
relationship between us are:
1. His lack of organization when it comes to household chores.
2. His impulsive behavior when he has to make an important decision.
3. His tendency to procrastinate when it comes to tasks that have a deadline.
4. The fact that he's very often late for the dates we set up.
I believe it was worth it because I know I also have my flaws and I can tell he's
trying really hard to fix his.
What I most appreciate about my partner is his sense of humor.
The last time I told him this was 2 weeks ago.
To increase the number of compliments I offer my partner, I could schedule them
into my phone, once every 2 days, until this activity becomes natural for me
without having to do it because my alarm beeps.

5. To what extent do you believe you have authentic behavior

when it comes to the relationship you have with your partner?
What have you not received from your partner up until now
though you wish you had? Why do you think he/she can't offer

In what situations do you feel the need to "put on a mask" and
play the part of a different person? What could you do to never
have to go through this kind of situation ever again? What

Your answers:
I believe I have authentic behavior, in my relationship, to the extent of ... %.
I really wish my partner would ...
I think he/she can't offer me what I want because ...
I feel / I don't feel the need to "put on a mask" and play the part of a different
person when ...
So that I may never have to go through this kind of situation again, I could ...
If I achieved this goal ...
Examples:
I believe I have authentic behavior, in my relationship, to the extent of 80%.
I really wish my partner would be more unpredictable when it comes to preparing
romantic surprises.
I think he can't offer me what I want because he's not used to doing this type of
thing and doesn't believe these gestures are that important in a relationship.
I feel the need to "put on a mask" and play the part of a different person when we
go and visit my in-laws.
So that I may never have to go through this kind of situation again, I could speak
openly with my partner and explain to him why I feel the need to act differently
when I'm around his parents.
If I achieved this goal, I fear my partner would tell me I'm overreacting and that I
don't really have to change my behavior because of his parents.

relationships, would you notice any patterns you might have,
and if so, what is the relational pattern you see? What do you
believe to be the reasons for having this pattern? To what
extent has this pattern led you to have a beneficial relationship
with your current partner? What's different about your current
emotional relationship?
Your answers:
The relational pattern I can observe is ...
The reason I believe I have acquired this pattern is ...
This relational pattern has / has not led me towards having a beneficial
relationship with my current partner because ...
My current emotional relationship is different from all the others I had in the past
because ...
Examples:
The relational pattern I can observe is that I quickly fall in love with
unapproachable people.
The reason I believe I have acquired this pattern is, probably because I experienced
rejection from my parents in my early childhood and I'm now trying to make up for
these lost feelings by trying to make other people accept me at any cost.
This relational pattern has led me towards having a beneficial relationship with my
current partner because I have learned, through this relationship, what it truly
means to accept yourself.
My current emotional relationship is different from all the others I had in the past
because now I don't feel the need to avoid proving my point for the fear of losing
my relationship and because my partner doesn't come first anymore in my life... I
do!

making certain hasty decisions and encouraged me to analyze the problems I faced
from multiple perspectives.
What I would like to be different, from this point of view, is the manner in which
my friends tell me the truth, because most of the time, they tend to be a little
rough around the edges when it comes to giving me feedback.
To implement this change, I intend to:
1. Tell my friends what is it that bothers me about their manner of conveying the
truth to my face.
2. Explain to them what would be a more appropriate way of transmitting this type
of feedback.

advantage of me, my knowledge or my money.
2. That person would talk behind my back or tell others lies about me.
3. That person would betray my trust and share a secret of mine with others.
The reason for this decision is because, if one of my friends would betray my trust
knowing that this behavior would make me suffer, I could never look at that person
the same ever again.
To prevent my friends from making these mistakes against me, I intend to:
1. Think twice before sharing with them something extremely important.

4. If you were asked to give a speech in front of 10,000 people

and to talk about a significant experience from your life, what
experience would you choose? What motivates you to make
this choice? How will your story impact the people that listen to
it?
Your answers:
The significant experience I would choose to share with those in the audience
would be ...
The reason I choose this experience is because ...
I think my story would have the following impact on those who listen to it: ...
Examples:
The significant experience I would choose to share with those in the audience
would be the bankruptcy of the company I founded 5 years ago.
The reason I choose this experience is because I would like people to know that

I think my story would have the following impact on those who listen to it: If I
managed to relate this story from a positive emotional state, I believe most of
them would find themselves, maybe not in the story per se, but in the lessons I
learned from it: that it's better to be safe than sorry and that you shouldn't rest on
your laurels.

========================================================================

And this is where the last suite of questions ends!

As a conclusion to these first 7 lessons, I would like to leave you with my favorite
quote, whose author is Jim Rohn, who once said:

"Watch your thoughts, for they become words.

Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny."
I hope you have many moments of A-HA even after the lessons have ended.

It is for this very reason that I invite you to revise your responses so that you may
have a complete and straight-forward picture regarding your current present and
your desired future.

I wish you a Crazy-Happy Life!

Dan :)
