It is a concept of constant and never ending improvement.
Small distinctions make the difference between being mediocre and being
outstanding .
In baseball,
baseball if you hit the ball two times out of every ten times you went up to
bat, you are a .200 hitter and would be considered very poor hitter by major
league standards. If you hit the ball three times out of every ten times you
went up to bat, you are a .300 hitter and would be considered one the best
hitters in major league baseball. The difference in salary is millions of dollars.

Five Agreements For Success In Life


f
1. Stretch beyond your comfort zone
There are two laws of human nature. The first is that we naturally gravitate
towards and stay within our comfort zone. The second is that all human
growth happens when we stretch beyond our comfort zone.

2. Play full out


Playing full out means giving every challenge, all you have.

3. Play fair
For you to improve your life, you must develop positive relationships with
people. Learn to treat others fairly. Honesty, loyalty, integrity and respect
are the foundation of personal leadership.
leadership

4. Play SMART
Have a SMART plan for what you want to achieve. The plan should include
written goals and a strategy for achieving them. It should be Specific,
Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Time based.

5. Have fun!
Life is too short for doing something you do not enjoy. Learn to have fun
with everything you do and help others to do the same.

Conscious

Unconscious

Your mind runs patterns both consciously and unconsciously. Some are
resourceful, supporting you for taking your life in the direction you want to go.
Other patterns are unresourceful, creating barriers that impede your success. The
key distinction for creating the life you want is to add and strengthen resourceful
patterns, while eliminating unresourceful patterns. You can do it!

Having the personal power to manage and direct your emotional state is the
difference between success and failure. If you can manage your emotions,
you will have all the success you could ever dream of. What you get in life
will not make you happy. You dont want things, you want the feelings that
you associate with having those things.
You might think that having a million dollars would make you feel successful.
Then you achieve it and rather than feeling success, you feel overwhelmed
by the attention. You feel pressure from friends and family. You feel
nervous about how you will save or invest it. You feel confused about what
to buy.
Who you become and how you feel determines the quality of your life.

TheMythofPositiveThinking
We have been told for decades about the virtues of positive thinking. Books have
been written, seminars have been held and audio series have been sold, all on a
philosophy that is based on ambiguity.
ambiguity THINK POSITIVE! What does that mean?
You can have a strong sense of certainty, thinking very positive as you head
east, looking for a sunset. Being positive does not mean you have clarity of
your direction, it just means you have a strong sense of certainty for whatever
direction yyou are movingg toward. This can have a result similar to a bull in a
china shop.
LEVEL 12 is focused on Resourceful Thinking which has a direct impact on how
your mind actually functions best.
By definition, being RESOURCEFUL means:
Youareabletomeetsituationsheadon: Yourmindiscapableof
quicklyandcreativelydevisingwaysandmeanstoovercomedifficulties.
Yourmindisabletodealskilfullyandpromptlywithnewsituations.
Had you been thinking resourcefully when looking for the sunset,
sunset you would have
recognized where you were, seen where you were going, noticed that your action
was not in alignment with your objectives and made appropriate compensation in
your action, so that you would now be moving west towards your goal!

DirectingYourFocus
Whateverwefocusoncontinuously,
willbecomeourreality.
y

When you focus on anything, your mind will begin to create an image. It has the
ability to create pictures, sounds, feelings and sometimes even smells and tastes. The
way in which images are created in your mind will be unique to you as an individual.
The images become connected to our unconscious mind, and the more intently we
focus, the more embedded the images become. Research in Neuro Science has
shown that as we focus, we create brain links. The more we focus on something, the
stronger these links become and the easier it is to focus on that thing.
The unconscious mind has no ability to tell right from wrong or good from bad. It
simply responds in kind, to your thoughts and feelings. An overweight person who
loses weight, but cannot change the image they see of themselves as the overweight
person, will always put the weight back on. This is because you become what you
focus on most. They will return to who they believe they are.
Direct your focus by asking resourceful questions
Unresourceful:
U
f l How
H
can I get out off debt?
d b?
Regardless of your intent, by asking this question your mind is directed towards debt.
Resourceful: How can I be a great money manager and create wealth?
This question directs your mind to find solutions to take you where you want to go.
One key error that people often make is to focus on what you don
dontt want,
want rather
than what you want, where you want to go or who you want to become. For
example, you may focus on.. I want to get out of debt, which directs your mind to
debt. You would be wiser to focus on how to have financial wealth and abundance.
The challenge is that your unconscious mind will move you in the direction of what
you focus
f
on most.
t It doesnt
d
t matter
tt if you wantt to
t gett in,
i gett out,
t or go around
d it;
it if
your focus is on debt, then that is exactly where your unconscious mind will take you.

Beliefsaresupportedbyreferences,realorperceived.

i.e. Ourfamily,ourexperiences,ourresults,ourfriendsetc.
Being a LEVEL 12 person means you are willing to challenge the belief barriers about what is possible. You
know these barriers are composed of nothing but belief and by choosing to believe in yourself, you will
go beyond them to new heights.
Consider the case of Roger Bannister. Until 1954 it was commonly believed that no one would ever run a
mile in under four minutes. Even though times for the event had been gradually improving for years, the
four minute mark seemed an insurmountable barrier.
For an inordinately long period, the times approached closer and closer to it, but still it stood, seemingly
unbreakable. Until 1954, when Roger Bannister made athletic history. He achieved the impossible.
In his mind he saw himself breaking through that barrier with so much emotional intensity that he
created vivid references that became unquestionable commands to his nervous system.
Even more amazingly, he destroyed forever a forbidding belief barrier. Almost as soon as he had
demolished that barrier,
barrier others poured through after him.
him Within one month others ran a sub four
minute mile and within the next year of his success, 37 other runners also broke the four minute mark!
Bannisters feat had shown them what was possible. It gave them their own strong references. The
following year another 33 subfour minute time were recorded.

Research has shown that our emotions are strongly linked with how we use our
bodies. Emotion is a result of motion. The moment you change your facial
expressions and gestures,
gestures you will impact your feelings and consequently your
actions and responses. What would you look like if you felt the following

Modeling provides you with the ability to discover how someone else
produces a result and then condition your mind and body to duplicate that
result.
You will begin to feel how they feel and think the way they think. You will
begin to take similar action and produce the same results.

Step2
Hold Yourself to a Higher Standard
HoldYourselftoaHigherStandard
Your current results are a reflection of the standards you have for your life.
Outstanding is a standard and so is mediocrity. You have a standard for your
career, your family and your health. If you are achieving what you want in any
area of your life or in all areas of your life,
life the raise your standards.
standards Regardless of
how well you are doing now, there is always another level of success. In todays
competitive environment, mediocre players will fail. You will become dated and
out of touch, providing little or no value.
When yyou choose to raise yyour standards,, yyou are readyy to take yyour life to a
new level. That means you are deciding right now to start doing things that
support your success and you will stop doing things that prevent you from
becoming the person you know you can be.

On a scale of 0 to 10.. 0 being comatose and 10 being unstoppable,


what standard will yyou set for yyourself. The new standard is outstandingg at level
12, going beyond what others believe is possible.

Directions: You have many areas of your life and the wheel represents some of the significant ones. This is an
exercise designed to measure your level of satisfaction in these areas. Taking the center of the wheel as 0
and the outer edge as 10, rank your level of satisfaction with each area of your life by drawing a straight or
curved line to create a new outer edge (see example, next page). The new perimeter represents your Wheel of
Life. How smooth or bumpy would the ride be if this were a real wheel? When designing your 2011 plan,
consider all areas of your life so that you will improve your results and level of satisfaction.

For many people, this picture is fuzzy and out of focus. Anyone that has created outstanding
success has created a crystal clear and compelling vision for what they wanted to achieve. You
can see the person you will become. You see the success you will achieve.
Creating a Compelling Vision
A vision transforms you and provides a picture of who you will be.
be It is the catalyst for taking
consistent action. A vision may also indicate how you will act. It is the compass that provides
direction for your goals.
A vision is a catalyst. A dynamic vision will get you focused because it is so challenging.
A vision will align the activities that will define your life.
A vision facilitates goal setting, planning and action.
A vision helps you set priorities. The vision says, This is who I am and this is what I stand for.
A vision defines what you will do as well as what you will not do.
A vision unleashes energy that will excite you.
A vision embodies your core beliefs.
A vision provides focus for assessing your progress.
A vision is unique to your core values.

A vision embraces an AND philosophy. As you begin thinking about creating a vision, you will
find many issues seem to be either/or in nature. Either I go for the career or I focus on quality
of life. Either I invest for the future or I focus on shortterm goals. A great vision accepts both

people are adept at embracing both sides. They dont just look for balance a little this and a
little that. They look for ways to have it all: career, success, family health and happiness.
Managing these seemingly paradoxical issues is what gives life to visions.

Prepare to Create Your Vision


A vision is a word picture of who you want to become and what you want to create. It is a
story written in the present tense as if that envisioned reality were already occurring. There is
no set formula for a vision. You use your heart and gut as a guide. Does it inspire you? Is it
compelling? Will it focus your attention?
Make sure you have writing materials and paper
Sit quietly and relax.
relax Dont rush this visualization process.
process You may need time to settle in and
explore images.
For the next couple of minutes just sit quietly. Dont write anything, just relax. Imagine the
future three to five years from now. Imagine you have become everything you have ever
hoped for. Allow an image to come to mind. What does this ideal picture look like? Explore
this image.
image . . . Who is in it? . . . What
Whatss going on in the scene? . . . What makes it so ideal? . . .
What are people saying? . . . What are they doing? . . . Now, let that image go. . . . Allow
another image to come into view. Explore this image. . . . Whos in it? . . . Whats going on? . .
. Where are you in this scene? . . . What does it feel like to work here? . . . Now, allow this
image to fade. . . . Repeat this process for a few minutes.
For the next few minutes write down what yyou envisioned duringg this exercise. Please dont
talk during this exercise. Take as much time as you need to write as much as you want.
Sit quietly again and close your eyes. . . . Imagine that time in the future again. . . . A reporter
from a major paper or magazine is going to do a story on you. The reporters focus is on why
you are such a great example of success in all areas of your life. What would you show the
reporter as examples of things that make you particularly proud? . . . Be specific in your
thinking and explore this image in some detail. . . . Perhaps the reporter is asking you
questions. How would you respond? . . . Allow this image to fade and open your eyes.
Take a couple of minutes to jot down the images that came to mind during this last
visualization exercise. Note: Pick a publication or interviewer that has meaning for you. It can
be anything or anyone you want.
