313 DESIGN YOUR DESTINY

Take On a 36-hour Challenge

They say that taking the first step is the most difficult one Weare often held back by inertia The moment we start taking thefirst few steps towards a goal, we will gain momentum andcontinue on until we realize it What has been an extremelypowerful strategy for the hundreds of participants that have gonethrough the ‘Patterns of Excellence’ programs (and also for me),

is that for every goal we write down, we act on three action stepswithin 36 hours of setting the goal

No matter what goal it is, or how long term it is, there aredefinitely three steps you can take within 36 hours that willmove you towards your goal

It is a very powerful process… one of the most powerful stepsyou take on this process involves putting yourself on the line bymaking a commitment to other people Or it involvescommitting some money By doing this, you are telling yourbrain that you are serious about the time you are investing

If your goal is to lose 5 kg in the next three months, what arethree steps you can take within 36 hours to commit yourself? Youcould give away all your clothes and go out and replace it with awardrobe four sizes smaller

You could sign up for an aerobics class and put down adeposit You could go and buy a book on ‘healthy eating’ andread and follow it religiously

There was a participant who set a goal of quitting andstarting his own business in two years time Despite this being along-term goal, he sat down and wrote a business plan, registeredhis business with $80 and signed up for a part-time course inbusiness management All within 36 hours

If your dream is to buy a Ferrari in five years time, you could

go down to the showroom right away to get a brochure and take

a test drive So, write down your 36-hour action plan for each ofyour major one-year goals

Do it now!

The Power of Why

The next step is to list down all the reasons why you must achieve this goal In fact, I believe the ‘why’ is more important than the ‘how’ When you know why you want something bad enough, you will eventually find out how to do it So, why is it important for you to achieve this goal? Again, all your reasons ‘why’ should be in line with your top values.

Visualization: Emotionally Charging Up Your GoalsThis final step is an extremely powerful one Remember again:what drives our actions daily is not logic but the emotional states

we are in Logically you may want to build your company to bethe next Fortune 500 but if you are not in a state of highexcitement, you will keep putting it off

So you must keep getting yourself in a resourceful state byemotionally charging up your goals Do it daily! I personally love

to do this just before I sleep every night What you do is to takeone major goal a night and to visualize yourself in the futurealready achieving it As you imagine the experience in yourmind, increase the intensity of the state by shifting your driversubmodalities

Get associated into the experience and make the picturebigger, closer and brighter Make it into a movie and make thesounds loud and in full stereo Hear what you hear around you asyou are achieving this goal

I can bet you that by doing this constantly with your majorgoals, you will definitely find the energy and drive to take actiontowards them

I remember that the only way I managed to have thediscipline to write my first book was that every night I wouldimagine myself in the bookstores signing autographs and seeingthe books flying off the shelves

The image was so clear in my mind that it kept giving me theenergy to work on my book until it was finally complete So startvisualizing your goals today!

Success happens by design

3 What prevents most people from designing their destiny are:

● Limiting beliefs

● They don’t know what they really want

● Fear of failure

● Addiction to the soft life

● Belief that goals do not work

4 Major keys in goal achievement

● Specific & measurable

● Passionate & exciting

HOW TO REPLICATE ANYONE’S SUCCESS

BLUEPRINT

12

Welcome to the final chapter! I am sure by now, you

would have experienced a major shift in your personal

effectiveness In this chapter, we will further explore

the concept of modeling and how you can replicate the success

blueprints of models of excellence One of the reasons I have

been able to achieve such exceptional results in such a short

period of time is that I have learnt how to become a master

modeler I have identified fantastic role models in the area of

learning, speaking, wealth creation, selling and business and

have distilled their years of experience and accumulated

expertise into a series of strategies that I have adopted within a

few years

Remember that we all have got basically the same neurology

(one thousand billion neurons) available to us If someone is

more effective than you in a particular skill or behaviour, it is

because their neurology is running a more effective strategy

They may have taken years of trial and error to build in their

ability to speak in a powerful manner, generate creative ideas or

Trang 15

stay relaxed in stressful situations As a result, their brains haveformed an effective set of neural connections that generate thedesired states, behaviours and results In this chapter you willlearn how to dissect a person’s success blueprint, replicate it andinstall it within yourself

When I modeled the top students and gifted children, Idiscovered that the reason they were superior learners wassimply because they had a very effective strategy for generatingideas, understanding new facts, memorizing it and solvingquestions 95% of the other students who were either average orbelow average were not stupid, they just had an ineffectivestrategy

Let me give you an example of how changing your mentalstrategy can significantly change the results you produce Do youhave a good memory? Most people I ask would say ‘no’immediately Well, again if you forget things easily, it is notbecause you do not have the ability to remember, you just have

an ineffective memory strategy Take a look at the list below and

do your best to remember it in sequence Give yourself amaximum of one minute

1 Eggs 6 Fan 11 Michael Jackson 16 Numbers

Now, covering the list above (be honest!), do your best towrite down as many words as you can remember in the blankspaces below

Here is what I would like you to do Using your imagination,make a visual image of each word and associate it to the nextword in a humorous way At the same time, say the word outloud! Follow the associations I have created below…

Use your mind and visualize an egg (say ‘egg’ out loud) Now, imagine

that the egg cracks and out pops a cow’s head (say ‘cow’ out loud).

See that the cow has forks on its head (say ‘fork’) Imagine that the

fork is wearing a pink bikini Suddenly, the bikini drops and bananas

are exposed Imagine that the skin of the banana peels off and

becomes fan The fan blows all your hair away Your hairs flies and

gets glued to a ghost (sound like ‘glucose’) The glue ghost (glucose)

chases a policeman into the zoo Inside the zoo, imagine seeing

Michael Jackson wearing ear rings He then takes the ear rings and

throws it like a Frisbee See the Frisbee spinning around the planet

A rainbow appears Then see that there are numbers dancing on the

rainbows These numbers then join to make a crown On the crown you

see fish balls which contain small clocks On the hand of the clock

are claws.

& auditory digital (self talk) strategy is not effective at all

Ineffective Memory Strategy

Visual external

➨ Auditory digital seeing the words repeat words to yourself

Trang 18

However, what I have found is that people with exceptionalmemories tend to make an image of the word in their mind(visual internal) They then associate the images together in anemotionally outstanding way (kinesthetic) In addition, they saythe words out loud (auditory digital) Anyone who uses thisstrategy will find themselves being able to remember lists andlist of words effortlessly By adopting this memory strategy aswell as other powerful learning strategies in reading andinformation processing, I managed to jump from a below averagestudent to among the top one percent of students in the country!

You can model and replicate the strategies of literally anyform of exceptional behaviour In 2000, my partner Stuart Tanwas given a project by the Singapore Armed Forces ShootingContingent (SSC) to model its top shooters and transfer theirsuccess blueprints to the new soldiers who were going tocompete in the upcoming ASEAN (Association of South EastAsian nations) Army Rifles Meet

Modeling & Replicating the Strategies of Top Shooters

As narrated by Stuart Tan

The challenge is that Singapore is the only nation in South East Asia with

a large number of its top shooters being made up of national servicemen

who serve in the army for only two and a half years Every year, they

find themselves having to compete in a shooting competition with career

soldiers in other countries who have ten to fifteen years of shooting

experience

In the year 2001, many of the Army’s top shooters were going to leave the force after serving their two and a half year term The commanding officer

at the time wanted to find a way to retain their shooting skills and transfer

it to the new soldiers who were just going in So I was given the top eight

shooters to model It was an arduous task when I videotaped and analyzed the physiological and mental strategies of these shooters It wasn’t very

difficult to identify their strategies as they were distinctly different from

Effective Memory Strategy

Visual internal Kinesthetic internal Auditory digital

imagine images ➨ emotionally engaging ➨ say words aloud

& associate images i.e humorous

novice shooters The experts had a clear vision, a clear idea about their outcomes, they conducted mental rehearsals for themselves, they learnt beyond the point of remembering, they were technically well-versed, and they executed their strategies in an optimum state After I distilled the blueprints of these top shooters, the Army then used it for their mental training purposes while they continued with their usual physical routine Not surprisingly, in the following year, the Singapore Shooting contingent came in champions in the ASEAN Army Rifles meet for the first time

Modeling the Success Blueprint

So how do you go about modeling a person’s success blueprint?

In chapter 6, we talked about the power of modeling someone’sPHYSIOLOGY (external behaviour) By modeling a person’sphysiology, we can quickly tap into their optimum states andpeak performance levels

By observing and literally modeling the gestures, tonality,facial expressions, posture and mannerisms of top speakers,Stuart and I managed to become extremely powerfulcommunicators on stage within a short period of time In hiswork with the Army, a major portion of his modeling of the topshooters was modeling their breathing patterns before and afterthey squeezed the trigger What made a key difference to theiraccuracy were also their body position, eye movements andfocus

If we want to replicate a person’s success, we must also modeltheir empowering BELIEF SYSTEMS.Why? Remember that ourbeliefs are like the operating system to our brain Theydetermine how we filter and perceive what happens around us.They determine how we respond and how we take action Byobserving and asking the role model questions, you can get asense of the beliefs they have Here are some examples of theempowering beliefs of effective communicators It is these sets ofbeliefs that truly set them apart from the average communicators

Trang 20

Beliefs of Highly Effective Communicators

● Everyone has a different model of reality

● The meaning of your communication is the response you get

● Resistance is a sign of lack of rapport

● There is no failure, only feedback

● There are no resistant people, only inflexible communicators.

Beliefs of Successful Entrepreneurs

● Everything is possible It is only a question of strategy

● Every failure lays the foundation for progress towards success

● Everything happens for a beneficial reason

● For things to change, I must change first

● Behind every crisis lies an opportunity

The other thing we must model from someone who isexcellent in something is their VALUES STRUCTURE You havelearnt that the way we individually rank and define our values(towards and away from) also determines the decisions we makeand what actions we take Again, is it necessary to know theperson’s entire values structure? No! We just need to get a sense

of what drives them towards what they do We can simply dothis by asking, ‘What’s important to you about what you do?’(refer to Chapter 10) For example, when I was modeling thevalues of a top insurance advisor (who earned over $600,000pa),

I found that her towards values were ‘contribution’, ‘passion’,

‘money’ and ‘accomplishment (of a great challenge)’ At thesame time, her away-from values were ‘losing’ (she hated to lose

to anyone), ‘giving up’ (she always persisted until she got whatshe wanted) and boredom (she could not keep still) Thesevalues sets drove her to become top advisor of the year for sixyears in a company of over 3000 professionals

The final thing we must model in a person’s success blueprint

known as STRATEGIES Every behavior (positive or negative)

we perform begins with a specific mental strategy that we run inour brain In order to generate brilliant ideas, a person runs aspecific ‘creative’ mental strategy in their neurology Similarly,

in order for us to feel ‘love’ or ‘depressed’, our neurology mustrun certain mental strategies that produce these states andbehaviors
