Welcome and thank you for choosing to
participate in "The Seven Factors of Achievement", a compilation of
the 7 key characteristics shared by the greatest achievers of our
time.
Achievement is like Archery!
Before we can aim our arrows
successfully we must have targets, and before we can shoot arrows we
must have the bow! Our present levels of achievement are in direct
correlation to the goals we set for our life and the projectiles we
put out into the World to attract success to our self.
Achievement
looks different to different people.
You may be on a quest to be wealthy; or desiring success in business
and personal relationships. You may be a teacher, trainer or
spiritual leader seeking to enhance your leadership role. Perhaps
you are a parent, professional carer or counsellor desiring powerful
interpersonal skills. You may work or live in highly stressful or
tragic circumstances and would simply like access to more peace of
mind and tranquility.
An Achiever is a person who seeks to be the very best they can be
and the Seven Factors of Achievement was created for such people.
The Seven Factors of Achievement is a process of self discovery and
the understanding of what it takes to develop powerful relationships
with yourself and other people ... the "juice" of achievement. The
Seven Factors also provides powerful tools to establish focussed
achievement targets and ways to upgrade your present levels of
personal magnetism.
 The
Journal of Ideas
All great achievers use a journal as a tool of success, and
throughout this program I shall call upon you to journalise your
thoughts and ideas. Journalising acts as thought transference for
good and bad thoughts, making way for inspiration.
Make it your first success habit to
spend 15-30 minutes each day with your journal to document your
ideas and challenges. Carry your journal (or a pocket sized notepad
for transfer into your journal later) at all times, ready for
inspiration when it arises (even if driving or visiting the loo :))
You will also be able to refer back to your journal as we progress
through this program, to witness just how powerful the Seven Factors
of Achievement can be in your life.
No Charge For
This Program
There is positively no charge for participating and there will be no
unexpected requests at the end of the program. You will come
to understand, as we progress, why I share the Seven Factors of
Achievement freely, and you are free to share this material
non-commercially with anybody else you feel could also benefit from
this knowledge.
The Starting
Point Questions
Before you commence, to gain maximum benefit from
participating in the Seven Factors of Achievement, it is imperative
that you firstly answer the following four questions (without
rushing) and journalise
your replies.
Question 1.
Write 5 goals that you would like to achieve
in your life.
Make these "tangible" and "realistic" achievement goals - e.g. if
you desire an amount of money, state how much you desire, what for
and by when. If you desire a relationship, detail the
characteristics of that relationship i.e. with who, why and by when.
If you desire to modify parts of yourself or your life, quantify
these traits clearly, what the outcome to your life would be should
these goals be achieved and a preferred time frame.
Question 2.
Write down the obstacles holding you back from
achieving your goals right now.
Write down what you feel the barriers are that stand between you and
your desires right now. e.g. you may believe you do not have the
right knowledge or skills, you might be afraid of certain
consequences or perhaps you feel that you are restricted by a
relationship, illness or finances. Write down your obstacles in as
much detail as you can.
Question 3.
Who are you? Use a mirror for this exercise if
one is available.
Write down who you believe you are ... and the various roles that
you play in your life right now. Perhaps you are employed,
parenting, or in partnership, who do you feel you are to these
people? What personalities, skills and abilities do you have that
you are pleased with? Do you think you are attractive? Write down
why or why not. What is important to you? What are your values ..
and what would you change about yourself and your life if it was
possible?
Question 4.
What and/or who makes
you angry, sad, happy, ecstatic or afraid?
Go back into your memory as far back as
you can and then track all the people instances that come to mind,
right up until today, that still bring up emotions, both good
and bad, when you think about them.
Write down their name or situation, and
what occured that still makes you feel angry, sad, happy, ecstatic
or afraid.
Thank you for answering the above questions, we can now proceed to
the
First Factor of Achievement - Completion.
I wish you every success.
