"I am Wealth, I am Abundance, I am Joy… I am Infinite Possibilities, there is nothing that I cannot Be, Do or Have…"

The Directive Affirmation is a paragraph written in the first person present tense that describes a person's goal, pay value of the goal, plan to reach the goal and habits and attitudes affecting the goal. It is rehearsed repetitively, causing the Self-Image to change.

These are the steps;

1. Define the goal
2. Set a time limit to run the Directive Affirmation (21 Days is recommended)
3. List the personal pay value of reaching the goal
4. Outline the plan to achieve the goal
5. Write a Directive Affirmation in the first person present tense… begin with the words – " I AM "
6. Make 5 Copies (at least) of the Directive Affirmation in your own handwriting on 100mm x 150mm cards
7. Place the cards in five prominent places (these are called 'key points')
8. Each time you come to a Key Point READ and VISUALISE your Directive Affirmation with feeling and emotion.
9. Run this Directive Affirmation for 21 Days, then rest for 9 Days and repeat IF necessary (with or without modifications if necessary) OR replace it with a totally new Directive Affirmation

Soon, as your Self-Image changes you will become that person described in the Directive Affirmation.  Your performance now will Subconsciously improve permanently.  There are only two possible outcomes with this technique… 1/ You WILL become the person you want to be OR 2/ You will quit and continue to get the same results in your life… it is that simple

It is a system to control the mental aspects of your performance.  And it's your performance under pressure that determines if you win in business and in life.  The difference between champions and those that fall short of the mark and those who never achieve their goals or peak performance is mindset.

Champions are confident and in control. Champions have developed habits and attitudes of a winner and that is encoded in their 'Self Image'.  And guest what…, that mental management system can be learned and it is possible to redefine your self image in as little as 21 Days.

Why Winners Win

FACT – 95% of all winning is done by 5% of all competitors.  What makes the 5% different?  There is only one thing that separates the winners and that is 'the way they think'. Winners know they will finish first… the others hope to finish first.  So if the seeds of greatness vest in all of us the only change that needs to be made is a mental one – how we think!

Winners say, "I'm going to do it" or "I'm going to win today"… simply put if you don't expect to win you have no chance in winning.  The expectation of winning comes from an internal feeling the champion has concerning his performance.  He is in harmony with with the idea that his expectation and his performance will be equal.

Performance is 90% mental. To control performance in competition you need a system… you need a 'mental management system.

"Mental Management is the process of maximising the probability of having a consistent mental performance, under pressure, on demand…" – Lanny Bassham

When you compete really well you are balanced and in harmony with your efforts.  This occurs in three mental components; the Conscious Mind, the Subconscious Mind and the Self Image.

The Mental Management System

The mental management system focuses on integrating these components;

• The Conscious Mind – this is the source of your mental pictures… it is the images that you hold in your mind.
   
• The Subconscious Mind – this is the source of your skills and power. We develop skill through repetition of conscious thought until it becomes automatically performed by the Subconscious Mind.
   
• The Self Image – it makes you act like you.  It is the sum total of your habits and your attitudes.  Your performance and your Self-Image are always equal.

Principles of Mental Management

These principals govern how the mind works.  Success is not an accident.  Success follows a set course, and these principals are the path;

Principal 1 – Your mind can only concentrate on one thing at a time. If you are picturing something positive in your mind, it is impossible, at the same time to picture something negative.  Why is this important?  Because it is impossible to picture winning and losing at the same time… So the choice is yours!

"I take control of what I picture, choosing to think about what I want to create in my life…"

Principal 2 – What you say is not important.  What you cause yourself or others to picture is crucial.  This is the fundamental principal of successful communication.

"I always give myself commands in a positive way. I remind myself that what others are picturing, as a result of hearing me speak, is crucial to proper understanding.."

Principal 3 – The Subconscious Mind is the source of all mental power.  All of us has within us the power to achieve anything we desire.  The reality is most people only use 5% of the power available to them because few people are willing to put in the effort and gain the knowledge to rise up to their full potential.

"I am so well trained that all of my performance is Subconsciously done. I trust my subconscious to guide my performance in competition.."

Principal 4 – The subconscious moves you to do whatever the Conscious Mind is picturing.  Being positive is our only hope. Positive demands positive results from your Subconscious.

"I realise that my Subconscious power is moving me to perform what I am Consciously picturing. I control what I picture and picture only what I want to see happen.."

Principal 5 – Self Image and performance are always equal. To change your performance, you must first change your Self Image.   The self image, made up of your habits and attitudes, makes you "act like you". Your self image directs your behaviour. The boundaries of your comfort zone are defined by your self image.

If your purpose and true destiny exist outside your comfort zone then to reach that higher purpose means redefining your Self Image. Until this BreakThrough is realised nothing significant will change in your life.

"I am aware that my performance and Self-Image are equal.  I am eager to change my habits and attitudes to increase my performance.."

Principal 6 – You can replace the Self-Image you have with the Self-Image you want, thereby permanently changing performance.  NOTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE UNLESS YOU CHANGE YOURSELF FIRST.

"I am responsible for changing my Self-Image. I choose the habits and attitudes I want and cause my Self-Image to change accordingly.." 

Principal 7 – The principal of balance.  When the Conscious, Subconscious and Self-Image are all balanced and working together, good performance is easy.

"I cause my Conscious, Subconscious and Self-Image to move forward being in balance, thereby increasing my performance without frustration.."

Principal 8 – The principal of Reinforcement. The more we think about, talk about, and write about something happening, we improve the probability of that thing happening!

"I choose to think about, talk about and write about what I wish to have happen in my life.."

Principal 9 – The Self-Image cannot tell the difference between what actually happens and what is vividly imagined.  Mental Rehearsal when used properly to reinforce good habits and a winning attitude, can greatly improve your chances of success.  Rehearsal is the most often used mental tool because it is logical, easy to use, convenient, inexpensive, and most important, because it works.

Goal Setting

There is only one habit that separates the top 5% of all competitors who win from the others – Setting Goals!

Follow this simple goal setting system;

1. Decide exactly what you want
2. Decide when you want it
3. List the pay-value
   1. List all the reasons, feelings and emotions
4. Determine the obstacles in your way
   1. What habits and attitudes must you change
5. Outline your plan to achieve your goal
6. Ask some important questions
   1. Do I believe in my plan
   2. Can I work my plan
   3. Is the prize worth the price
7. Schedule your plan for action
8. Start Now
9. Never Reach your goal without setting another higher goal
10. Never quit

Redefining Your Self Image

The Self-Image is the sum of your habits and attitudes.  Your habits determine how you act.  Changing your Self-Image is the most powerful skill you will ever learn.  When the Self-Image changes performance changes and so do your results. There are four important tasks;

1. You must be willing to undergo change and move beyond your comfort zone
2. You must identify the habits and attitudes that you need to change
3. You must set up a new Self-Image that is in direct conflict with the old one
4. You must adopt the new Self-Image

"NOTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE UNLESS YOU CHANGE.."

The fastest (and safest) way to change your Self-Image is with the 'Directive Affirmation Technique".

"The Directive Affirmation is the most powerful tool for changing the Self-Image.." – Lanny Bassham

The Directive Affirmation Technique

The Directive Affirmation is a paragraph written in the first person present tense that describes a person's goal, pay value of the goal, plan to reach the goal and habits and attitudes affecting the goal. It is rehearsed repetitively, causing the Self-Image to change.

These are the steps;

1. Define the goal
2. Set a time limit to achieve the goal
3. List the personal pay value of reaching the goal
4. Outline the plan to achieve the goal
5. Write a Directive Affirmation in the first person present tense… begin with the words – " I AM "
6. Make 5 Copies (at least) of the Directive Affirmation in your own handwriting on 100mm x 150mm cards
7. Place the cards in five prominent places (these are called 'key points')
8. Each time you come to a Key Point READ and VISUALISE your Directive Affirmation with feeling and emotion.
9. Run this Directive Affirmation for 21 Days, then rest for 9 Days and repeat IF necessary (with or without modifications if necessary) OR replace it with a totally new Directive Affirmation

Soon, as your Self-Image changes you will become that person described in the Directive Affirmation.  Your performance now will Subconsciously improve permanently.  There are only two possible outcomes with this technique… 1/ You WILL become the person you want to be OR 2/ You will quit and continue to get the same results in your life… it is that simple

Internet network marketing is the latest buzz ‘out there’ for sure.  Internet network marketing is a strategy used by distributors to build a network marketing organization using the internet.  Internet network marketing is something everyone wants to do but is something most people don’t know where to start.

Internet network marketing is allowing people to become the number one income earners in their company because they have leveraged their marketing and lead generation efforts by embracing the Internet.  Most people involved in MLM think that internet network marketing is just a new fad that will soon pass away. Internet network marketing however is growing phenomenon in the last several years that will only continue to grow with the ever increasing power of the Internet.

Internet network marketing is an effective and (once you know how) simple way to have prospects calling you about your product, service or business opportunity.  If that sounds a little like a sales pitch then it is but the truth is; internet network marketing is a major learning curve and many network marketers are simply missing out on massive lead generation by remaining offline.  Social network marketing is the bread and butter of the internet network marketing industry.  Leading Internet marketer’s are only just coming to grips with the power of social media as a lead generation environment off the back of established and trusted relationships.  The gap between social and commercial relationships is narrowing however there is an art to monetizing social networks.

Network marketing is one of the best ways for the average person  to make money on the internet today!  Traditional network marketing is beset with problems of lead generation which are effectively resolved on the internet.  If network marketing is all about networking and of course marketing, why do so many network marketers continue to struggle to realize the infinite networking and lead generating potential of the internet?  This is no ‘get-rich-quick’ scheme on the internet and network marketing is just like any other business.  In conclusion, internet network marketing is a legitimate home business opportunity but remember it may or may not be the business for you.

Servant Leadership is an approach to leadership development, coined and defined by Robert Greenleaf and further advanced by authors such as Stephen Covey.  (Robert Greenleaf is recognized as the father of servant leadership having first defined the term in 1977 notwithstanding the fact that Chanakya, the famous strategic thinker from ancient India, wrote about servant leadership in 4th century B.C).  The concept of servant leadership in western culture can be traced back to Jesus Christ about 2000 years ago.

The characteristics of a servant leader are listening, empathy, healing, awareness, persuasion, visualization, foresight, stewardship, commitment to the growth and development of others and building collaborative communities.  Servant leadership centers on people and building healthy relationships with them.  Organizations practicing servant leadership are values driven, not rules driven like hierarchical bureaucratic, command-and-control organizations. The focus on people and relationships places servant leadership squarely in the sustainable marketing field.  Servant leadership thus produces happy employees, and happy employees are the most productive and best brand ambassadors.  With servant leadership, everybody wins: employees, employers, customers, and the community.

The concept of servant leadership works with all kinds of organizations, from big corporations, to not-for-profit entities, and even for churches and parishes, universities, and foundations.  It is particularly effective in 'network structured' business models like network marketing or multi-level marketing.  The most difficult piece of servant leadership I think, is that it must be in some way supported by the culture of the organization in order to be wholly effective.  If you are to employ servant leadership you have to be prepared to be dedicated to educating others how to be servant leaders, and you must have enough emotionally intelligence to accept little or no recognition whilst paying that recognition forward to the higher servant.

Stephen Covey, emphasizes the competitive importance of servant leadership as it relates to the empowerment of others. He said:

"The deepest part of human nature is that which urges people-each one of us-to rise above our present circumstance and to transcend our nature.  If you can appeal to it, you can tap into a whole new source of human motivation.  A great movement is taking place in the world today. It's roots, I believe, are to be found in two powerful forces.  One is the dramatic globalization of markets and technology."  The second force – Servant Leadership the, "timeless, universal principles that have governed, and always will govern, all enduring success, especially those principles that give 'air' and 'life' and creative power to the human spirit that produces value in markets, organizations, families, and most significantly, individuals lives."

The basic idea of servant leadership is for the leader to assure that those for whom he or she has responsibility are provided the information, tools, training and support needed for them to do the work to which they have been called. Servant leadership is about making sure you are fair to your people, don't run them like indentured servants, have strong interest in helping them grow, and understand how actions of the company affect their families hopes and dreams.  In my mind, servant leadership is about being present, responsive, authentic, and giving direction.  Another critical component to servant leadership is coaching and mentoring.

Servant leadership is a lifelong journey that includes the discovery of one's self, a desire to serve others and a commitment to lead.  Unlike leadership approaches with a top-down style, servant leadership instead emphasizes collaboration (which does not mean decision stagnation – the leader must be decisive) and, trust, empathy, and the ethical use of power.  Leaders are: courageous, believe in people, are value driven self-confident visionaries, life long learners, high energy people, stress tolerant and emotionally secure.

Servant leadership is a combination of three things: leading, following and being open to change. To lead with a servant heart is a matter of Integrity, whereby your Being, Thinking, Speaking and Acting must be congruent with 'Self' and your organizations or communities values.
