Hey mate,

If you stop trying to transform your life with useless slogans, and start taking actions based on reality…

Today’s article has first a typical useless motivational slogan, then a major golden key based in reality.

Read on and transform your life!

USELESS MOTIVATIONAL SLOGAN: “Fear.  Feel the fear and do it anyway.”

2020 Power Play:  Memorizing slogans doesn’t get you far, exploring your process getting clarity around your Inner Vision will change your world - LightSpeed!

USELESS MOTIVATIONAL SLOGAN:  “Feel the fear and do it anyway!”

That slogan sounds nice, however, it really doesn’t work that way. Here is a much more powerful and elegant solution, compared to getting yourself in a hyper motivated state and trying to overcome your fears, again.

Remember, I am an old school NLP guy. I NOTICE what people do, how they think. (I am not into fixing them, or persuading them to change, I just enjoy helping people notice and get new ways of thinking, so they get new much more satisfying results.  Onward!)

Now, there are some people who “feel the fear and do it anyway”. Those people already PROCESS fear in a very specific way. You’ll learn one of their mental strategies in just a second.

There are other people who feel the fear and can’t do crapola. Would you believe that they process fear differently than the “feel the fear and do it anyway” crowd?

Here is a very workable and powerful solution.  Study their strategies.

People who feel the fear and do it anyway tend to see fear as a still image, an image they can move around, look at from different angles, study, and go beyond.

“People who get stuck in their fear tend to have a defocused movie that they run, and they don’t see much of it. They literally have commentary in their heads, like Siskel and Ebert, people talking about what would happen if… that fuzzy movie they mostly don’t see… happened.”

Keep in mind, if you decide today to be one of the three brave souls to train with come to Eye’s Wide Open in Austin, you will experience Fear Elimination, Unleashing the Nuclear Power of your Inner Vision, Transcending Motivation and a whole much more.  Imagine, just you and 2 other brave souls, with me, in the Live Music and Fun Capital of the world, Austin Texas!  Saturday July 19 - Sunday July 20.

Back to our program!  Come to Austin.

Realistically, everyone I have ever met has a percentage of both strategies. The problem is no matter how successful you are, you still have “fuzzy movies” that you can not exit on your own. You literally need to train in new exits from your inner fuzzy movie theater.

This is why every mega successful person I know, retains coaches, mentors, and works with them regularly.  Me included.  We all need professional stimulation, advisers, and a swift boot to the head once in a while.

A real life story from our Live Eyes Wide Open training back in May!

“During last month’s Eyes Wide Open training in Austin, a client asked me why it is so difficult to exit our own fuzzy movies. It’s really simple, you are in a trance when watching them. It might be a 2 second trance, it might be a 2 minute trance. Either way, you are GONE, and just a tiny bit of training will help you exit that state more completely and quickly.”

In July, We’ll be training you to exit those trances… it doesn’t do you much good to learn about them…. you need trained to exit them.  Some things you just need to experience.  Kissing, dancing, and…  nuff said.

Three more Fear PowerPoints:

1. Get Specific. A generalized fear, the kind associated with fuzzy movies, will ruin your life. A great example is a fear of failure.   Last week, I worked with a LightSpeed Phone Coaching client on fear like this.  By the end of the call, he was giggling and well over his failure crapola.  He took his generalized fear of failure, and broke it down to very tiny specifics.  Once he did that, the fear had so much less power over him.

2. Hang out with extreme winners. You will notice they have fear, they just don’t have fear exactly as you do. Extreme winners process and hold fear differently. Trust me, I have hung out with extreme winners, and extreme whiners.  (If you commit to Austin by July 4, I invite you to stay for an extra day or two, and enjoy the city with me.  You never know who you might meet.  Austin truly is a city full of winners.

3. Don’t hide your fears. The whiners actually seem to hide fear better, the winners let fear show up, full force and in extreme detail and deal with it.

That’s it for today mate!

Hey mate,

Stop having to motivate  yourself and UNLEASH your true power through Mentoring!

A mentor does releases power within you in three primary ways:

1. A mentor teaches you what they consciously think you need and what you consciously ask of them. This is the smallest part of the Power Puzzle. It’s also very similar to College and this is also where most training programs stop.  That’s just the beginning for us.  More about this later, read on mate!

2. A Mentor demonstrates and teaches you outside of their conscious awareness. There are TONS of tiny things that successful experts do, that they have absolutely no awareness of. If you are in a mentoring relationship with them, you will be exposed to these VITAL Points of Power too. (Ever wonder why college just doesn’t produce the quality that a good apprenticeship program does?)

3. A Mentor Impacts your life - and transforms your mind. You literally start to become like family in a mentoring relationship. By becoming family not only are doors opened up for you, but also you get to see your mentor as a human, just like you. If he can be successful, live like he does, so can you.  His world and your world meet, you grow TOGETHER.

All three of these Mentoring Power Keys are vital.  Together, they remove the need for motivation that is trained into you in most school and college environments.

Compare this to college, where you learn mostly from those who learned in school. You don’t usually get to become like family, you don’t usually get to absorb the unconscious actions of an expert that are so vital to success (in part because they aren’t working in the field, they are teaching in the classroom), you usually just get the smallest part of the Power, and for some reason, you never develop Clarity and the other Power Principles you need in life.

In other words, you get stuck in what seems like a motivation rut, since you only have part of the puzzle solved, and you really haven’t seen or been shown multiple levels of “real success”.  If you don’t have the keys for all three locks, see above, then you have to force the tiny bit you’ve got to open up the door to success.   Dysfunction and the chronic need for motivation become the norm.  Will you settle for the norm?

Real success, and EASE OF ACTION, comes from:

1.  Developing a strong detailed sense of Clarity.  Once you have the right kind of details and the right level of details, you can’t help but feel at ease, and take action.  (I observe all my big time mover and shaker friends live like this.)

2.  Discovering a comprehensive understanding of Identity.  People who don’t need massive motivation for the most part have their personal identity based in who they are becoming.  Stuck people tend to have their Identity Bit placed on their prior actions, failures and historical fears.

3.  Eliminating the Hypnotic Power of your Excuses.  You can eliminate the life crushing hypnotic power of your excuses with a 1-2 punch combination of Awareness and Precision.  Most people I do LightSpeed Trainings with, are at first totally unaware of their excuses.  If you are unaware of your excuses, then they will have a level of vagueness that infects your ability to stay energized and take action.  If we raise your level of awareness, and help you get specific with your fear, then moving beyond it is a piece of cake.

It is vital to actually have these Power Keys active in your life.  How will you know if you really have these Power Keys active in your life, versus THIKING you do?

• Are you enjoying an ease of action, doing what you need to do and enjoying it?
• Are you getting the results you want, in all parts of your life?
• Are you feeling satisfied, or do you feel like something is still missing?

That’s what we have to share today!

Mr. Twenty Twenty

Come see and train with me in Austin. Eyes Wide Open, July 2008!

.

Attention: Hidden in this SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT are 7 concepts that will transform your world. Feel free to pluck them out and email me! Read, enjoy and learn! Mr. Twenty Twenty

Special Event: Eyes Wide Open - July 19 and 20 - Live in Austin TX. Just 3 very decisive people get to attend, play, and rock their world.

Hey mate,

Stop suffering, wake up! You don’t need more motivation. How many times do you think you need to listen to that theme from rocky or do another daily firewalk before you get it. Motivation is a myth.

“Vision, Clarity and Focus are what makes life EASY! (What you are clear about, you do. No firewalk or Rocky theme required.)”

All you need to do is to get your Eyes Wide Open - start seeing more, begin thinking less, and enjoy getting in touch with what’s is really possible for you. If you are ready for that, come train with me in Austin in July.

Read on, get some insights, make some shifts, and come see me. Nuff said.

Yes, there are some definite steps you need to take, and some shifts in perspective that will make transforming your life amazingly easy…

No, you won’t get them sitting on your arse, taking baby steps, getting hyptonized by your typical excuses. YES, you will get them IF you take action, stretch your boundaries toward what you think is still not possible… and come to Austin to work with me in July.

“Consider this pain relieving insight: People who “need motivation” are the same people who keep inviting their “typical excuses” over for dinner, and letting them move in as semi permanent house guests.”

Try on these Typical Excuses. See if they seem like old friends.

(Typical Excuses are the inner and outer talk that will guarantee you will continue to suffer with your current pain.)

Hey Twenty Twenty, I would love to come Austin in July, but….

A. I don’t have the time. (24 hours a day… that’s all ANY of us have… We are all busy… Yet….)

B. I can’t call off work. (Those who won’t call off work, end up working forever for someone else. That’s not freedom!)

C. I don’t have the money. (Ever hear of credit cards? Use them to transform you. Pay cash for pizza, use credit for investing.)

Ever hear those excuses before?

Ever hear them coming from your own mouth?

“Are you willing to utter them one more time?”

Are you ready to put an absolute end to the pain and suffering they cause you?

I can’t tell you how many times I have heard people say those things. I used to say them too.

“Then I began opening my eyes, seeing the futility of having to motivate myself every day, when all I needed was more experiences with the power of Clarity and INNER VISION.”

Consider this…. Come to Austin…. (How’s that for SUBTLE?) Better yet, just do it!

Ready for some additional life transforming insights?

You just might be suffering from the most common fear in the world.

“You just might have Xenophobia. Fear of the unknown. It’s why the masses would rather suffer with what they have, versus adventuring into the realm of the possible.”

Crazy eh? Are you ready too to get over it?

Ready to let go, ready to experience some power, ready to let go of your pain and suffering?

Ask yourself these questions, actually try these on as life experiments.

I have. Actions such as these will pay you very well.

1. What will happen if I call off work, maybe I can tell them I am stuck at the airport.

(They used to ask which airport I was stuck at THIS MONTH.)

2. What will happen if you take out a small loan, invest in your success BIG TIME?

(Use credit to invest in you. Use cash to pay for your pizza. Nuff said. Education and Experience rock!)

3. What if you took a weekend and hung out with me and learned from some amazing people?

(Besides getting your picture taken… Imagine laying in bed late at night with new insights and action plans, and less of the same old worries and upsets.)

Let me be blunt, are you coming to enjoy a hard core weekend of training with me in Austin TX, on July 19 and 20, with 2 other people, or will you suffer silently that weekend with a six pack and a pizza, again…

Special Event: Eyes Wide Open - July 19 and 20 - Live in Austin TX. Just 3 very decisive people get to attend, play, and rock their world.

Let’s move forward, shall we? Email me at 2020@exhostage.com if you want put on the list and you want details!

Hey mate,

Have you ever thought, just a tiny bit, that “those motivational guys” are so full of hype?

And think about this…

Have you ever noticed what happens when you “hype” or “wind” yourself up, get hyper excited, then try to work on a long term project?

“It’s just like eating a doughnut then drinking one of those high caffeine and sugar energy drinks.” Hype and “cheer-leading” can get you started, but there is a debt to pay, and a crash usually follows.

On the other hand, maybe you’ve noticed that I enjoy the company of a number of real life movers and shakers. (Maybe you’ve noticed too that I keep pretty active myself… nuff said.)

I can tell you something, quite candidly, not one of them strikes me as overly motivated, in the fire walking, cheerleading, “wind me up and watch me go” kind of way.

“These guys and gals, people who I love and respect dearly, and people who are making a difference in their own lives and in the lives of others aren’t all that “motivated” in the pep rally, cheerleader, fire walking kind of way.”

They have what I have, what I can help you to develop more completely. They have what I needed to survive when I was a hostage in a 3 day prison riot back in 1989.

They have UNLEASHED the power of INNER VISION - through Focus, Clarity and Visionary Thinking.

They have in just the right amount of detail, decided what they want - They have FOCUS.

They have BOTH parts of the power of clarity activated:

They take daily ACTION that moves them toward their FOCUS!

Their daily BEHAVIORS are such that they have the ENERGY AND CONCENTRATION to keep taking those daily actions.

Want to get their results and not have to amp yourself up, do a daily firewalk, or live the energy drink kind of life?

Then start today with these simple steps:

1. Stop thinking you have to rev, hype, or wind yourself up. You don’t. If you think you do, realize you don’t have FOCUS AND CLARITY taken care of yet, and take the time to do that.

2. Write out what you want. Don’t just make it about things, make it about relationships, personal development, qualites that you live in your life. Take the time to write out your FOCUS, you will be so glad you did.

3. Determine and Discover both the ACTIONS AND BEHAVIORS you need, so you have CLARITY and ease in all that you do. Listen, I’ve been at way to many seminars, and I have led way too many courses where the problem is obvious, to me, as to why Mr. X isn’t getting results. Often he’s taken the time to write out his FOCUS, BUT HE HAS NOT NOTICED HIS DESTRUCTIVE BEHAVIORS.

GOLDEN KEY MOMENT: “It’s tough - almost impossible - to COMPLETELY notice the kinks and loops in your own thinking. These kinks and loops lead to the energy and resource ROBBING BEHAVIORS that prevent you from taking the daily ACTION you need to get to your focus. I can help you with that, that’s what I do, it’s a way that I serve the world.”

I request that you read these articles again, and take action on them. These articles and recordings are my gift to you, they will improve your world, and by improving your world, the world my grand kids grow up will be transformed.

If you want to more deeply and dynamically explore and release the power of your Inner Vision - in a way you can’t get from reading an article, then come train with me in Austin, Texas, the live music and fun capital of the world. I will be leading an intenst Eyes Wide Open weekend training for just a very small handful of people, Saturday July 19 and Sunday July 20.

Remember, it’s not about motivation, it’s about getting extremely clear about what you want, and the actions and behaviors that support that.

You can start unleashing the power of your Inner Vision today. I can help speed that up exponentially, I request that develop more Focus and Clarity TODAY, so your world, my world, and the world of my grand kids will be a better place.

Best to you, see you in Austin,

Mr. Twenty Twenty

Hey mate,

Real quick. This is a priceless gem, brought to you by my Grandpa.

“Nothing in your life will change until you get off your arse.”

Most people say you won’t get off your arse until you are motivated.

I think that’s bulloney… bs…

Because I notice what the what the real movers and shakers do, I observe how they think, and what their strategies are. Most of them aren’t all that motivated, they are just really clear about what they want, and what it’s gonna take….

Ready for a reality check?

You will take action, you will move, things will change, not when you are motivated, but when you have clarity in your life.

Real quick buckwheat.

To have clarity, you need just 3 things.

First you need a FOCUS.

FOCUS is knowing what do you really want. You need this UNDERSTOOD in your mind. In just enough detail that you “get it”.

WARNING: Too much detail, too little detail, or the WRONG details will ensure you end up being a talker, not a doer, and you won’t EVER get to the next essential step, which is…

Step 2: CLARITY

Once you have FOCUS, then you can notice what ACTIONS get you closer to that FOCUS, and also notice what BEHAVIORS support those actions.

Most people get the first part pretty quick, ACTIONS.

Because ACTIONS are obvious. ACTION is sexy, alluring. It’s the part everyone asks the mover and shaker about. “Joe what do you do to write so many books?”

Their Missing Link is that they don’t notice or adjust their BEHAVIOR.

Most people don’t take the time to explore BEHAVIOR, and make sure it supports and ENERGIZES their actions!

Real quick, I’ll write more tomorrow, right BEHAVIOR will ensure that you have the FOCUS AND ENERGY to take the ACTION you need.

WARNING: Stay up drinking Jack Daniels until 3 am, start the day with an expresso and a box of twinkies, and I don’t care how much you THINK you are making progress… your silly BEHAVIOR will undermine your ACTION every time.

Just wait until we explore the power of VISION - When you hold in mind how your LIFE impacts the next SEVEN Generations.

This will take masterminding (thanks Bill Hibbler) to an entirely new level.

Have a great night,

Mr. Twenty Twenty
