Learn to Get Feedback to Make Faster, Better Progress
Good morning, Live Better than a Billionaire-a-Holics!
Are you feeling motivated this morning?
I certainly hope so. I know that I am!
I promised you an update after Christmas on my writing plans for this blog.
So far 2006 has been very busy. I'm finishing the first draft of a new book, getting ready to start the first draft of a second book (which will be related to the topic of this blog) and need to rewrite a book proposal for a third book. In the meantime, fans of my writing have asked me to write six other books. And that's just the writing part of my day . . . the smallest piece.
As a result, I've had to cut back on my blog writing . . . but I will try to drop in a new note every week or so. Naturally, I know you will be kept busy reading the 200,000 words I've already written for this blog in the meantime. You can change your life anytime you want by going back and applying those lessons.
I wanted to share something from my classes on creating 2,000 percent solutions with you today. Many people spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to gain degrees and coaching to pursue some life goal. And that's good.
But some people do that and still don't get where they want.
For people who complain about that problem, I have them conduct an exercise. Try it yourself!
1. Borrow a couple of family members or friends to help you for a few minutes.
2. Go someplace you've never been before.
3. Pick a site in that location where you would like to go: That's your objective.
4. Have your companions blindfold you. In addition, close your eyes.
5. Let your companions lead you to some unknown location far from your objective.
6. Have them twirl you around a few times . . . but not so much you get dizzy.
7. Start walking towards your goal. How do you do that? Just start walking.
8. Have your companions give you feedback on how you are doing. You can use "warmer" or "colder" type directions or they can tell you to turn left 45 degrees and take three steps forward. Just ask them to keep you from hurting yourself.
9. Follow the directions until you are at the objective. In most cases, you'll be there in less than ten minutes (unless you chose to make the route a long one to make the task more difficult).
10. Have your companions tell you when you arrive at the objective. Take off your blindfold and open your eyes.
Here are the lessons:
1. You can have no idea where you are and where you are going and still reach your objective if you get feedback in terms of how you are progressing.
2. You need the help of other people to make rapid progress.
After this experience, you'll look to make progress in new and better ways. You'll love it!
Please let me know what else you would like to learn, and I'll do my best to help in future blog entries.
