Why Success is a Science
by
James Arthur Ray
My
studies of the highly successful prove that they continually achieve
their results by doing "certain things in a certain way."
I have
also found that "like causes produce like effects."
Therefore,
if you and I consistently employ the same thought processes and actions
of these highly-successful individuals, we must produce the same
results.
This
is why success is an absolute science. If you apply the principles
(thoughts and actions) of peak performers, you will accelerate your
sales and life results far beyond your current level of achievement.
Put it to the test.
In his best-selling book, Psychocybernetics,
Dr. Maxwell Maltz talks about our daily actions being the direct result
of our habits. Since your actions are the cause of your results, it is
fair to assume that your habits are what ultimately create the results
you obtain.
Habits
are the things you and I do naturally and automatically, without
thinking. These habits have been conditioned at a very early age and
are now collected in our unconscious mind.
According
to Maltz, if you want to change your results, you must begin to form
new habits. In other words, you must change the things you do
automatically.
Your current thinking regarding your abilities, your product and your
industry is habitual -- and we call that programming. This programming
is buried in your unconscious mind, and it drives your behavior on a
daily basis.
These programs, or mindset, came from outside sources and we often
accept them without question. Many times our mindset contains lack and
limitation because a parent, teacher, coach, or another person we
respected wanted to protect us from disappointment.
They
told us to "be realistic," "don't expect too much," "life is hard" and
many other disempowering beliefs. The moment you accept their programs,
they drive your behavior and often limit your results.
Following
are the first steps in building the habits of a top sales performer.
Habits that will drive massive action and create incredible results!
1. Set a clear and
measurable goal.
Make it one that you are
excited about
accomplishing. The human spirit will not invest itself in mediocrity --
so if you want to succeed in overcoming limiting habits, your goal must
create passion! As you set your goal, two things are important: it must
be specific and measurable. Write "I am making $70,000" versus "I want
to make more money." When your goal is measurable you will know exactly
when it is accomplished.
2. Write your goal in
the present tense.
This will cause you to
fully associate
to the achievement of your goal. Your unconscious mind is totally
deductive, and therefore, it accepts anything that your conscious mind
gives it without question. Consequently, correct phrasing is
imperative. Write your goal as "I am so happy that I earn a minimum of
$70,000 per year" versus "I want to earn $70,000 per year." Write your
goal as if you already have it right now.
3. Write your goal every
single day, carry it with you everywhere you go, and read it as
often as possible.
Remember, you are developing habits of
the highly successful -- new ways of thinking and acting. Therefore, if
you get tired, or you find yourself thinking this step is redundant,
realize that it has taken years to create your current programming and
it will take concentrated effort for it to be replaced.
4. Take action and make
daily decisions with your goal in mind.
In other words, ask
yourself the
question "What decision would I make right now or what action would I
take right now as a $70,000 income earner?" When you answer the
question -- act! If you act based upon your current status you will
continue to create your current results.
Any time you experience frustration with these action steps, realize
that it is caused by your old programming trying to push you back into
old behaviors. The mark of a master is the person who has the ability
to give themself a command -- and then follow it!
Commit to these 4 steps for 30 days. I promise it will make a positive
impact on your sales and life results.
