How To Achieve Overnight Success

February 17th, 2010 by MFWeinstein No comments »

Have you ever known someone who was an “overnight success?”  How many years, months and days were they focused on what they were doing before they achieved recognition? Success does happen, and it results from steady and consistent forward movement that you are responsible for creating. Luck absolutely occurs – being in the right place at the right time, meeting the right people, getting the right breaks, good health – and it requires staying in Action, with your mind clearly focused on your desired outcomes.

What does “I’ll Try” mean?

October 5th, 2009 by MFWeinstein No comments »

“Trying” is a significant Excuses Language culprit. The world is full of failure. Think about it for a moment. “Nice Try” is what we say to our kids, peers, staffs and partners when they fail at something. Have you ever been complimented on a success or achievement with “nice try!” No, that wasn’t a “try.” Yet we hide under the cover of “try,” even before we begin something. pg 122

What positive Habit-Stamps do you have?

October 4th, 2009 by MFWeinstein No comments »

When Reese Witherspoon won her Oscar for Best Actress for Walk The Line, her speech was kind, humble, and heartwarming. She thanked her parents for always praising her and offering positive reinforcement for anything she did as a child, even simple things like making her bed. She explained how their parenting gave her confidence to succeed, the foundation of a Belief that she could be great at whatever she did. This is a beautiful example of positive Habit-Stamping. She developed extraordinary yet simple Peak Life Habits like the “I Can Do It Habit.” pg 41

What are your habit patterns?

October 2nd, 2009 by MFWeinstein No comments »

When we have a tendency to practice the same Habits repeatedly, we have a Habit-Pattern. Our Habit-Patterns often consist of Habit-Clusters (groups of Habits of a similar nature that operate together) or Habit-Spirals (where one Master Habit triggers a domino effect among other Habits) of closely related Habits that are interwoven together into a pattern of Habits that pop up in our lives over and over again. We can also “inherit” a Habit-Pattern from our family of origin or an early life experience in which we saw specific Habits played out again and again. pg 275

Limiting Habit Spotlight: The “Perfectionist Habit”

October 1st, 2009 by MFWeinstein No comments »

If you have one or both sides of the “Perfectionist Habit,” you spend a lot of time analyzing and organizing and procrastinating until you are certain that everything is aligned for your success. Perfectionists fall into two categories. One type will start many things yest finish very few. This is because once started, they will only finish something if they can do it exactly right. So this type also has the “Incomplete Habit.” A flip side of the “Perfectionist Habit” is the version where they won’t event start on a project, goal, or anything if they can’t do it right. Often this might appear to be the “Procrastination Habit,” look a little closer and see that perfection is at the top of the spiral or cluster.

    1 Week 1 – Understand Your Habit Mechanism and Identify Your Habit Chains

    This first session will introduce a remarkably simple language for understanding our unique selves, and offer a Habit Methodology that can overcome familiar and repetitive barriers to success in our lives, and allow us to tap into the Law of Attraction and the Law of Right Action. We all have Limiting Habits. By exposing Limiting Habits with kind compassion, you will soon begin Shifting to a life of more fun, more play, more joy – in short, a life rich in Peak Life Habits.

    Key Concepts: The Habit-Gap, Habit Chains, The Belief-Link, Limiting vs. Peak Life Habits, Master Habits in Operation

    2 Week 2 – Get Behind Your Beliefs

    This session will discuss how to develop awareness and understanding of the human Habit mechanism into the intention to play big and catapult beyond “almost.” By understanding how Habit-Stamps play a key role in feeding your Limiting Habits, you will be able to deconstruct your deepest and earliest assumptions in order to create new Peak Life Habits.

    Picture this: You wake up in the morning and that litany in your mind begins…

    September 30th, 2009 by MFWeinstein No comments »

    Picture this: You wake up in the morning and that litany in your mind begins: “Oh gosh, I should have done this, I’ve got to do this, I need to do that.” Whoa, you’re tired when you get out of bed just from those initial thoughts! That doesn’t make a lot of sense.  And yet those are the Habits – more specifically, the Language Habits – that run you.

    Welcome to Burden Language, the language that stresses us out with the pressure of all that we tell ourselves there is to do.  It thrives in phrases like “I have to,” “I need to,” “I should,” “I must,” etc. and you can probably feel its negative energy, pressure, tension, and struggle in your muscles.  This is exacerbated by the fact that there is no committment to complete anything that you say that you “need,” “should,” or “must” do.  It all hangs in the air as “not being done.”

    Now is your time to go beyond these Language Habits with the Habitually Great 10-Week Webinar Book Study

    On Tuesday, October 6, 2009, I’ll be launching a special 10-week group Webinar event where we will work together to break through the barriers to your true success.

    In ten LIVE 90-minutes sessions across two and 1/2 months I will lead you through an interactive journey of my award-winning book HABITUALLY GREAT: Master Your Habits, Own Your Destiny. (MP3 Downloads of each session included)

    Unlike any book or seminar that you have previously experienced, The HABITUALLY GREAT 10-Week Webinar Book Study helps you eliminate your life-diminishing attitudes, beliefs, and habits.

    Is there anyone you’ve tried to change lately? How’s that working?

    September 29th, 2009 by MFWeinstein No comments »

    We humans have a rather funny tendency to blame or attempt to change the people around us when things aren’t going according to our hopes – it seems easier than transforming ourselves. Is there anyone you’ve tried to change lately? How’s that working?

    So let’s hold in our minds a truth about life, one of the big ones: we don’t have the power to change people. Parents, siblings, teachers – they just are who they are. Their stamps on our lives are inevitable, the good ones as well as the challenging ones, so no pointing fingers at Mom. No blaming your first grade teacher. No getting stuck in the “Victim Habit.” The only true source of power comes when you turn your finger around and point it at your own chest, accept the habits that manifest in your life today, and then make choices about how and who you want to be tomorrow, next week, and next month.
