Subconscious Behaviors Are?
25-50%?50-75%?80-95%?
The Answer Is?
The Conscious vs. Subconscious Mind
Plan – Dirty Word #1 – What?
Plan is all about knowing where you are and knowing where you want to be
Imagine taking a trip “Those who fail to
plan, plan to fail.”
What My Research Has Revealed
In Nov. 2011, 150 small businesses who had been negatively affected by the events of 9/11, only 3 had written plans to overcome that negative impact
Over the course of the last 15 years, 98.7% of all small businesses (99 employees or less) lack a written strategic business plan
Most people put more energy into planning a trip to the grocery store than they do for their businesses or personal lives.
Plan – Dirty Word #1 – How?
Are you facing the same challenges year after year?
Are you more tired? Do you feel like you
are the hamster in the wheel?
How is this working for you?
Plan – Dirty Word #1 – Why?
Osmosis factor Belief you should know
the value by people who don’t know the value
Weasel words Self-fulfilling prophecy Cognitive vs. emotional Negative conditioning
Goal – Dirty Word #2 – What?
Objective Achievement toward
an effort Task, to do, aim “Goals are dreams
with endings.” Louie Armstrong
Goal – Dirty Word #2 - How?
Are you facing repetitive problems?
Are you experiencing inconsistent results?
Are you engaged in the role of Captain Wing It?
How is this working for you?
Goal – Dirty Word #2 - Why?
Goal setting & goal achievement not taught
SMART goals not enough
Weasel words Forget to dream
“Do It” – Dirty Word #3 – What?
Execution Manner or style of
performance Getting things done “The ancestor of
every action is a thought.” R.W. Emerson
“Do It” – Dirty Word #3 - How?
Do you find excuses not to take action?
Are you confusing motion with progress and activity with results?
How is this working for you?
“Do It” – Dirty Word #3 - Why?
No thought No plan No WAY SMART goal Negative conditioning Poor attitude Lack of consistent
success Hard work
Today Is the Day to Stop The Insanity
We Receive What We Believe
(b)[A (S+K)]+(m&m)wG=PBCIP or IR
(b) = Beliefs are the foundational thought processes from our experiences
A = Attitudes
S + K = Skills and Knowledge
(m&m)wG = my and measurable written Goals
PBC = Positive Behavior Changes
IP = Improved Profits, Productivity, Progress, Potential, Performance, Passion
IR = Improved Results
Do you believe the above statement to be true or false?
Personal Life Drives Business
Do you have a plan for your personal life? Do you set goals for the different aspects of your
personal life? Do you regularly self-assess your happiness,
satisfaction, contentment with your personal life? If you do not consistently achieve your personal
goals, how can you consistently achieve your business goals?

Outside of the Wheel = 100%
Inside of the Wheel is 0%
Self assess yourself moving from the inside out much like eating a piece of pie.
Then ask yourself if this wheel was traveling down the road of life, would you have a smooth ride or a bumpy one?
