Wishful Thinking or Not? It’s All Up to You…
Monday, September 28th, 2009Have you ever procrastinated? And while procrastinating, haven’t you wished to be able to stop with it? Well, I have, and, until now not one program that I followed, has been able to make me stop with it. On the other hand, one simply cannot do what he/she has always done and expect different results – right? So, I am taking the challenge…
Several days ago I received the following email, and I want to share it with you in the hope that this email will make the difference for more procrastinating souls, and not only for myself…
Dear Taty,
The purpose of this note is to share with you a few ideas
that will help ensure that you finish this year with a bang.
You see, for most of my life I’ve pursued what I consider to
be the organizing principles of lasting change, and in this
message I wanted to share two things with you:
1. A three-point plan that you can use immediately to change and
improve your life.
2. Offer you a unique opportunity to fast track your
results. More on that later!
I do believe that the best things in life are free, and that
the best strategies in life are simple. By that I mean,
simple to understand, apply, teach and share with others.
The following three strategies are simple, and they are also
extremely powerful, however, they require consistent and
skillful application in order for your personal strategic
plan to become reality.
These are the exact same changes that an individual must
make in order to create personal change, that a company must
make in order to create a lasting competitive advantage, and
that a community must make in order to best serve its
citizens.
Step One – Raise Your Standards
Any time you sincerely want to make a change, the first
thing you must do is to raise your standards.
Simply put you MUST expect and demand more from yourself and
from those around you. That means having zero tolerance for
mediocrity, procrastination, and any behavior that robs you
of potential and increased performance.
Step Two – Change Your Limiting Beliefs
If you raise your standards but don’t really believe you can
meet them, than you’ve already sabotaged yourself. This is
one of the biggest challenges people face when constructing
their personal plan.
Why? Because you won’t even try; you’ll be lacking that
sense of certainty that allows you to tap the deepest
capacity that’s within you even as you read these words.
Our beliefs are like unquestioned commands, telling us how
things are, what’s possible and what’s impossible, what we
can and can not do. They shape every action, every thought,
and every feeling that we experience.
As a result, changing our belief systems is central to
making any real and lasting change in our lives.
Step Three – Change Your Strategy
In order to keep your commitment, you need the best
strategies
for achieving results. One of my core beliefs is that if you
set a higher standard, and you can get yourself to believe,
then you certainly can figure out the strategies. You simply
will find a way.
I can tell you with confidence that the absolute best
strategy in almost any case is to find a role-model, someone
who’s already getting the results you want, and then tap into
their knowledge.
If you don’t have one, you must find a coach or mentor.
Meet Gary Ryan Blair
Gary Ryan Blair is someone I’d like you to meet as he is a
true thought leader and the mastermind behind the 100 Day

redeem yourself and make the last 100 days of the year, your
best 100 days of the year.
His 100 Day Challenge is designed to provide you with the
information and impetus to
commit to all three of these master principles of quality
change:
1. It will help you raise your standards by discovering what
they currently are and realizing what you want them to be;
2. It will help you change the core beliefs that are keeping
you from where you want to go and enhance those that already
serve you; and
3. It will assist you in developing a series of strategies

people actually do what they know. Knowing is not enough–as
you must take action, honor your commitments and enforce
strict discipline.
