I have just gotten back from a two day event with my mentor Marc Dassualt, the theme of the event was about developing an exponential mindset. If you don’t know what exponential means it is increasing at an increasing rate. Or in other words it is earn more money faster, or becoming better as a sport faster than everyone else.

As I have mentioned in previous posts this year one of my goals is to acquire more of an exponential mindset so I can have and expect exponential results.

Over the next couple of weeks I am going to share with some of the powerful concepts I learnt over the weekend and show you how you can implement these same strategies in your life or business to also have exponential results.

The first powerful concepts I want to share with you is what I like to call “The 1% Difference”.

Here is a diagram to help me illustrate how it works and what it is:

Now which curve would you like to be on and why? Curve A, Curve B or Curve C?

They all start at the same point and all finish at the same point however each one has very different results.

The fact that we are talking about having an exponential mindset curve C is a typical exponential curve so you would expect that one to be the better one, right? Well let’s have a look at Curve B it is the shortest and most direct to getting to the end results, however this is not exponential.

Curve A is where you really want to be, and here is why. If you shade the space under the curve as a measure of what you can achieve is shows that curve A has the biggest results in the shortest period of time.

Let me explain, let’s say one axis represents time and the other money, as you can see from the diagram below Curve A is where you get exponential results.

So the question you should be asking “how do I get on and stay on Curve A? Excellent, great question I am glad you asked

You get on Curve A simply by improving at 1% at a time. Now please notice this is important I said Improving 1% at a time not Doing 1% at a time.

Here is the power in improving just 1%.

If you improved your business for example just 1% per week then you would have a 167% improved or increase in business results over the year, it is 1% compounding which is nothing short of excellent!…but wait,

What if you improved just 1% every day you would have a whopping 3778% increase – That’s OUTSTANDING! And all just from improving 1% a day.

You don’t need to take massive amounts of action and burn yourself out you simply just need to be focused and improve at a rate of 1% per day to get exponential results.

We are just over a month into the New Year, how is your progress coming along? I hope you aren’t dropping the ball and sliding back into routines that aren’t taking you towards your goals.

These days a lot of my work revolves around being on a computer I have recently become more conscious to the fact that I have been falling into the trap of doing busy work instead of productive work.

One of my goals this year is to be more productive, to acquire the art of getting more done, with less effort.

We all only have the same 24 hours in a day, time is our most precious commodity learning how to be more productive and using your time wisely is one of the most important skills to acquire.

Not only to allow you to get more things done but to have more time available to do whatever you want, to do the things that make you happy.

Over the last few weeks I have been observing what has be distracting me from being more productive, besides the somewhat lack of motivation and focus. I found uncovered 3 major distractions that I plan on working on over the coming months and year.

1.)     Checking Email 45K Times A Day – I have noticed email has been a big time bandit. I notice I have it open consistently. As soon as a new message is there I pick it up in minutes, interrupting my focus as I feel compelled to open it.

Action steps: I have decided to set specific times during the day when I will read and reply to emails. For the first week I am only going check once in the morning again in the afternoon, and once more at night. After the first week of 2 I plan on cutting this down to only twice a day and by the end of the month I only want to check once a day.

2.)     Goofing Off On Facebook – Another big distraction I have noticed recently has been Facebook, I never really knew how much time I was wasting goofing off on facebook until I started to record it. Sure I was having fun and there is nothing wrong with that, I like staying in contact with my friends and doing a bit of social networking can go along way but all in moderation.

Action Steps: I am simply just going to be discipline on this one, using will power. To help me stay motivated and productive I have redefined WHY I am going after my goals and WHAT it will mean to me to achieve my goal. I am adding constant reminders to my consciousness to keep me focused and on track, like pictures, videos, words, etc.

3.)    Clean Home – I heard once that the state of your bedroom or your car is a reflection of yourself and your thoughts. Meaning if you live in trash them your thoughts and consciousness is in a mess, If you have clutter then your mind is usually full of clutter too. Is this true…I have no idea, but somewhere along the road I have picked up this belief which I feel it serves me well, so it is true for me.

Action Steps: By keeping a clear mind and fit body I am planning this is cause a good side effect to keep the house clean and intact. I am also going to adopt the mind set of being a celebrity, meaning that wherever they go, whatever they do a celebrity has to assume someone is watching and possibly taking photos to publish in a magazine. By keeping this mindset I am planning this will keep my mind sharp on appearances, etc.

I will keep you posted on my progress.

I would love to hear your thoughts, ideas, and feedback about what else I can implement to be more productive this year, thanking you in advance.

Wow, are you ready for the New Year? Are you ready to begin again in 2010?

Did you achieve what you wanted to in 2009?

This time of year is an eye opener for most people, most of us reflect back on how the year was, what we did, what we didn’t do and what we are going to aim for in the future, many people set New Year resolutions and gain a new focus.

One of my new focuses this year is on exponential growth in business, relationships, health and personal growth. In this post I am going to share with you a video from one of my mentors showing a technique to leverage what you already know to gain exponential growth.

But first let’s define what exponential growth is.

I only high school formal education and I like to keep things simple and explain them in simply terms.

I like to think of exponential growth as when things are increasing in an out-of-control way.

To help illustrate this “out-of-control way of growth” let’s take a look at the power of compounding.

Imagine for a moment we were about to have a game of golf and just before we tee off on the first hole I say to you, to make this game a little more interesting how about we bet 10 cents per hole and double it every hole. You think to yourself that’s sounds ok, really…how big it can grow…

Let’s have a look shall we.

• Hole 1 – $0.10
• Hole 2 – $0.20
• Hole 3 – $0.40
• Hole 4 – $0.80
• Hole 5 – $1.60
• Hole 6 – $3.20
• Hole 7 – $6.40
• Hole 8 – $12.80
• Hole 9 – $25.60 (half way)
• Hole 10 – $51.20
• Hole 11 – $102.40
• Hole 12 – $204.80
• Hole 13 – $409.60
• Hole 14 – $819.20
• Hole 15 – $1638.40
• Hole 16 – $3276.80
• Hole 17 – $6553.60
• Hole 18 – $13,107.20

Now starting from $0.10 I bet you didn’t think that you would end up betting $819.20 by hole #14 let along a whopping $13,107.20 by the 18^th.

This is exponential growth or increasing in an out-of-control way!

Now imagine having that kind of growth in your business or in your personal life. You can and it all starts with doing small actions ($0.10) and compounding them over time. This is what 2010 is all about for me and you can gain this kind of growth from what you already know, the only issue is that you don’t know it (yet)

Watch this great video to show you what I mean. In this video is one of my mentors Marc Dussault

I love to hear your thoughts, feedback and ideas so make sure to leave m e a comment and talk back to me.

To begin again in 2010

Blessings

What is the quickest way to success?

It doesn’t matter what you want to achieve whether it be financial success, lose weight, have a perfect relationship or have optimum health there is one sure method that will not only ensure you will succeed but it can shave off years of trial and error and provide you a proven guaranteed path to what you want.

The easiest and quickest way to achieve anything is to find someone who has already achieved and had success in the exact same area you want to succeed and do what they do.  In NLP they call this modelling.

Success leaves clues – for example if you want to lose a certain amount of weight, tone your body and have vitality and energy. What you want to do is find someone who was overweight, unhealthy, etc and find out and copy what they did to lose weight, get toned and become healthy and do what they did.

I have used this method many times in my own life with amazing results, one of the reasons it works so well is because you can go off the wisdom of the person who has already made all the mistakes so you can make a whole range of new mistakes to fast track your results, this can even take you further than who you are modelling.

Here are some tips to help you use modelling to fast track your results.

• The first thing you need to do is find a suitable model, they should be a model of excellence at their skill or in their field. Ask yourself: “Who specifically has already gotten the end outcome that you also seek?” Find that person and make contact.

• If you cannot meet your model in person which is the best option if possible, then go to the library and read their biography, go their websites, go to youtube.com and find interviews they have done.

• Take note of the words they use and how they use their body, their physiology.

• Ask them about their beliefs and what they value. If you model their actions without understanding WHY they do it, you only have half of the clue.

• Discover what motivates them, ask them what made them successful, what systems did they employ.

• Discover what standard they hold for themselves.

• Don’t just limit yourself to just one person or company, no one is perfect and we are all different, have a range of people you can model and draw information from.

Once you have analyzed them and gathered all the information you need, notice what you are doing that is the same and keep doing it. Work out what you need to change and create a plan and a commitment to change or adopt a new belief every 30 days or so, and start implement whatever you can immediately.
