The Spiritual Drunk Monkey

Dated: date December 20, 2010 – 5:09 pm

A client writes in, ” Sometimes I get impatient when people don’t get it (ie. They assume things, are negative…don’t think like me)…how can I become better at understanding people?? My ego gets out of whack when it wants to impose its beliefs about how things should be onto others…when my true self knows there is no right or wrong.”

I call this the spiritual Drunk Monkey. Once you become a spiritual person you put less weight in what The Drunk Monkey says so it becomes spiritual in order to get your attention again.

Your judgement is a futile attempt at surviving longer by trying to be better or fix what is broken. See The Drunk Monkey for what it is; a biological mechanism that protects you from threats that don’t exist.

Lower Your Standards – Make More Money!!

Dated: date December 11, 2010 – 8:00 am

In a post on October 18th (view it here) I advised my client to stop setting goals that made her feel bad.  Over and over she set goals she never hit.  Consiquently she felt like a failure.  I told her to lower her standards to something she could hit.

Well she did and guess what?  It worked.  She had been saying over and over “I’m going to get $30k in new business this month!” and not doing it.  In September lowered the standard and started hitting it.  In November, with a goal of $15k, she hit $30k!!

Are you shooting yourself in the foot by setting your goals to high and consequently feeling like crap?  When you feel bad you aren’t effective and you keep the cycle in place.  Make your goals attainable, feel good and accelerate!

Inspired Action is the Most Effective

Dated: date November 16, 2010 – 4:10 pm

If you take action without inspiration your result is gonna be okay. But if you take action from a place of being totally inspired – the results are unbelievable. You could get two times, three times, four times the results from being inspired. So, how do you get into a place of inspiration? Well, you’ve got to first see the future that you’re committed to. So, you’ve got to get connected to that goal or dream and what it will mean to you. That’s one thing.

Another thing to get inspired is to go into a state of gratitude, to get grateful about everything that you are thinking about now, everything that your life is. I use a technique called the ten-ten visualization process. So, I’ll make a list of ten things I’m grateful for, and then I’ll make a list of ten goals and dreams, and then at night, before I go to sleep, I’ll visualize both lists.

So, I’ll get emotionally connected to everything that I’m grateful for and then emotionally connected to all my goals and dreams. And then, what happens is I wake up inspired. And when I wake up inspired and I take action, it’s magic. Miracles happen. Try it.

Are You Ready to Take Massive Action?

Dated: date October 28, 2010 – 1:01 pm

I want to help you take massive action towards your goals! So often, people take action out of fear. I call that, forceful action. It’s not every effective, and it doesn’t really feel good. And bottom line, it’s not sustainable.

I want to help you get into Inspired Action. When you’re in inspired action, work doesn’t feel like work, you’re on a roll. You can get there!

I’m offering my free video training program called Massive Action. I’ve put together 3 video sessions that are from my Inspired Action Weekly coaching program.

Please check out this powerful training program, and get on your way to achieving massive action!

How Do You Set Big Enough Goals To Keep You Motivated?

Dated: date September 22, 2010 – 9:19 am

You can never set “big” enough goals to keep you motivated and working everyday.  A more reliable process is to set goals that “mean” enough to you that you are inspired to keep working every day.  Inspiration is defined as imbued with the spirit to do something.  That can only be accomplished through meaning.  Consider that the bigger problem is that you are looking at your current work as “hard”.  A far more powerful idea is to change the relationship you have with work.  In my book Creating Sales Velocity I talk about writing a gratitude list every day.  Try writing one just focused on work and notice that work gets easy, effortless and enjoyable.
