The Yellow Brick Road!

Goals and wishes ... "Yawn, Heard it all before" ... You ain't heard my take on it because if you had, you wouldn't be where you are now would you?

Now read and follow ...

Goal setting will become your number one skill. Once you have mastered goal setting everything else will follow.

A goal that is not written down is simply a wish!

Once you commit it to paper something magical happens, that wish is no longer a spark of electricity pinging around your head, it materializes, it slowly starts to become reality.

A goal written down is a 'to do', an action - something that will stare you in the face and bug you until it can be crossed off your '2do list'.

Goals are desires, write them down and they become your map of achievement. Thoughts become words, words become actions, actions produce the life you want.

The time has come to decorate your front room.

The obvious approach would be to spend hours trawling through books and magazines. Then discuss plans with family and friends, also look at other rooms to get ideas for the masterpiece. Choose colour's, matching furniture, covers, drapery and plan what you want the finished space to look like.

Imagine, for this example, I’ve poked you in the eyes with a sharpened stick. You’ve spent a few weeks in hospital, had a couple of unsuccessful operations and have been sent home with a white cane. Before I stabbed your eyes out you'd noticed that your living room needed decorating ... nothing's changed, the room still needs to be decorated!

You're weren't quite sure what you wanted before my assault and as you've got no eyes you can’t look at books or other people's ideas; you can’t colour co-ordinate because you can’t see. What the hell, you decide to crack on regardless. You manage to get yourself down to the local DIY store, fumble around and eventually stumble upon the paint department. You buy the first tins that come to hand and ask the young assistant to deliver to your house those bits of furniture you bashed into and that felt quite nice on your way round.

You spend the next couple of months doing up the room (it takes you a while because I gave you a nasty poke in the eyes, remember?). Splash goes the paint, up goes the wallpaper and in goes the furniture and carpet. And you finally give yourself a big pat on the back for a job well done.

Three months later you get call from the hospital. Thanks to advances in technology a 'miracle operation' has been perfected and your sight can be restored. You have the op. and suddenly you can see again. Gingerly, after some recuperation, you leave the ward. Eventually, you get home, make a cup of tea and proceed to the living room you so carefully refurbished ... blind.

‘WHAT THE HELL!!!’

Can you imagine the mess???

Ridiculous story, right? Who in their right mind would decorate a room blind???

Well, why do 95% of people make one of the biggest
financial decisions of their lives with their eyes wide shut?

Why do so many people set up in business or plan their future, blind?

The room you decorated didn’t stand a chance because you couldn’t see what you were doing and had no idea what it was going to turn out like. It was only when your sight returned could you see the mayhem you’d created. If you have no idea how the room is going to turn out, how do you expect to get what you want?

If you take the children on a day out to the zoo in an unknown town you follow a map to ensure you arrive there on time and have a super day. You wouldn’t ever consider saying to the missus, "pack the bags, strap in the kids, were going for a drive around the country for a day or so until we come across a zoo!" ... Would you???

If you have no idea where you are going then how are you going to get there?

Let’s put that right. Starting today, we are going to begin to map your road to Total Personal and Financial Freedom.

Today, we are going to lay the foundations
for the rest of your life:

Are you short of time at the moment, tired, hungry or is it too noisy to concentrate?

If you can’t give this section 100% commitment, then stop reading - I MEAN IT, STOP READING NOW!!!

Come back when you feel refreshed and relaxed, come back when the kids have stopped screaming or your spouse isn’t about to walk through the door. We are about to start on that journey to wealth and freedom.

GET A PEN ... AND PRINT OFF THE PAGE

Now I've received the odd whine along the lines of: "I haven't got a printer, it doesn't work, I'm out of ink" ... Bla fucking Bla ... Get a printer, get some ink, get to a friend's computer or Internet Cafe and get it printed ... Just get it printed off because if this is a problem now there really is no hope whatsoever for your future.

This is a public page so take the url http://www.iamthemoneyking.com/questions-uk.txt and access it from anywhere in the whole damn world.

You may feel you may want to skip this section; you may think that taking part in a gimmicky little exercise like 'goal setting' is a waste of time. You may think you don’t need this. If that’s your attitude then either change it now or cancel your membership. Read no further, throw away or delete this module. You have no need for it. You contemplated Omniscience because you assumed you have the right mind set.

If you are unable to change your indifference towards what I ask you to do at this stage, no matter how insignificant or trivial it may seem, we are wasting each other's time. Everything we do together in this course has a premeditated impact on your life. Each little thing we do now will eventually ensure you build that fortress of yours.

The Roman Empire was built one brick at a time.

They built much of it on the foundations left by older civilizations; they studied and reinvented ancient systems and adopted many ... never, I repeat never, did they dismiss a theory or practice of the populace they conquered until it had been thoroughly considered.

Goal setting may have been written about in the past and you may well have practiced it ... you most certainly haven't thoroughly thought it out in the context of what I'm teaching today.

Things that seem totally pointless have a very real and important reason for being included. Do as I ask and then review the results at the end. Don’t pass judgment until we’ve finished. If you’ve done an exercise like this before - DO IT AGAIN!

Now have you got your pen?

Answer each and every section. Do not write down what you would settle for. Do not write down what you think you will be able to afford in twelve months. Write down what you want! If money were no object, if I gave you a blank cheque, what would you buy? Carte blanche.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Scroll down to the next section ONLY WHEN YOU'VE COMPLETED YOUR ASSIGNMENT.

Go back and read what you’ve just written.

I said go back and read what you’ve just written, I know you didn’t ... THIS IS YOUR GOAL SHEET - KEEP IT SOMEWHERE SAFE!

Those are your goals and planned achievements, a tangible, real place ... where you are going and what you will acquire. Nothing, I mean nothing is going to stop you from having all the things you have fantasized about. Believe me, you are more than capable of having all this and more, nothing can stop you now - ABSOLOUTELY NOTHING.

Never again will you settle for second best, mediocrity. Why settle for linen when you can have silk???

Whhoooaaa! You have changed a little more!

Now you know exactly what you want. Now you know exactly where you are going. Every time things aren’t going well and you are feeling down turn to your goal sheet.

Your goal sheet is your own personal
blueprint for the rest of your life.

If you aren’t achieving things at the pace you require come back to it, remind yourself what it is you are working towards. THESE PAGES ARE WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT.

Take a postcard and write down your goals; keep it with you at all times and whip it out when you need reassurance! (The card!!!)

You have changed because you know you will never be content with what you have at present.

You know you will never be truly happy in the house you have now and driving the car you drive. You aren’t content now. If you were then all the questions you have just been asked to fill in would be blank. You would have no goals because you’d have now, whatever you could wish for!!! You will never feel truly fulfilled, content until you have what you have just spent the last twenty minutes writing about.

There's not a high performance individual on Earth that has achieved all their goals; they have goals because that is what makes them tick; it's the very being they are.

And those goals don't always have to be about money, it's simply a fact of life that cash brings many of the things that make up a fulfilled life ... but not always the case!

Old William Gates (Microsoft), heard of him?

His goals at the outset of his monumental business career would have been totally materialistic. After having amassed more wealth than many countries his goals have become more philanthropic; he is becoming fulfilled by giving away some of his assets ... but you can rest assured, he won't donate them all! (unless he goes a bit do-dally!)

You now have a very clear picture in your mind of what you are going to have and where you are going. You are no longer trying to decorate a room with your eyes poked out. You know exactly what that room will look like when it’s finished and you are not going to stop until it’s just the way you want it - the way you had planned it today.

Every single person will have a different set of answers, yet all members of Omniscience practitioners are on their way to acquiring the answers they gave in their goal sheets. Just by writing down and having a clear picture in your head of what you want will give you a better chance than anything I know of getting it.

Now fill in the next sentence.

I will have achieved exactly what I have written down by the year

Simply by typing that in you've cemented a 'due by' date. You now have a clear picture of where you are going and when you are going to get there.

At any time along that road you can test to see if you are on target. If you’re not, then you simply have to make adjustments don’t you???

This isn't a race, the goals are just that and if it were just a simple case of setting them down with a due by date then we'd all be living the life of Riley (whoever he was!)

One thing I will say is, that now you have started your journey, your present standard of living will fade away into insignificance. All those silly little things that niggle and upset you today will be of no importance in a few weeks time.

Stop worrying - 85% of the things you worry
about never happen anyway!

Start to feel happy. You are taking the right steps.

Next time you look in the mirror, smile at yourself. You can smile because you know things are going to be OK, you’ll make sure of that. There is nothing on this planet that could block your path to success. You are as powerful as any other human on this Earth.

There is no one better than you. Achievers aren’t super-humans put together in a laboratory and filled with success genes - NO! They are ordinary people just like you. They are not special. Their only secret is that they believe in what they are doing and know exactly where they are going. They don’t stop failing until they triumph.

From today so will you!!!!

The only thing that can stop you is YOU, and that’s not going to happen is it?

There will be many times when you will feel frustrated. Achieving your goals will not be easy. In fact, it will be incredibly hard, and there will be many occasions when you will feel so low you will wonder if it’s all worth it. Only you will be able to answer that and with your crystal clear goals embedded, you will pick yourself up, you will go on to bigger things and better places you old cockroach you!

When I get frustrated (which is more often than even I would like) I just take a step back. I go for a quiet walk in the forest near my home or the beach near my Mediterranean villa and try to get a grip. I look at where I started and where I am now. I have achieved so much and come so far in a relatively short time. I could be very happy with my current lifestyle, but because I know where I am going I won’t settle for second best - although second best for me is a pretty nice place to be.

Your life is changing, you are a different person from the one who began reading this module.

YOU ARE GOING TO BE BIGGER THAN
YOU EVER DREAMED YOU COULD BE

In this module we are setting the foundations upon which you will build your own empire. This is the spring-board from which you will soar.

How to Cross an Ocean

I spent many years skippering yachts for a living, and I’ll never forget the first time I crossed the Atlantic. To cross an ocean you need plan the journey before you start. You have to chart every step in minute detail and then monitor your progress. If you don’t, you die - simple as that!

You start a crossing of any body of water with a chart laid out on the boat’s chart table. The difference this time was that on the right of the paper was Africa, on the left was America, and in between a distance of around 3,000 miles as the crow flies. On past shorter sailings I had marked my position, as you do, and at the end of each day I could see the progress. I would see a significant difference from where I was yesterday to where I would be today. Not with a chart the size of the Atlantic!

Days and days went by when I could barely mark my new position because it was so close to where I was the previous day. At one point, I was totally becalmed for a week. I moved about a 100 miles, mostly backwards! and that’s depressing when you know there's another 2,500 to go.

Eventually, I got moving again and enjoyed a truly exhilarating sail across The Pond as it's affectionately known. Finally, I reached St Lucia just before Christmas day and reveled in happy times pigging out on chicken, women and rum punch!!!

I have kept the chart of that first crossing and looking at it now I still remember how depressed I felt when a day's traveling was such a small distance marked on the chart. However, if you look at that map today there is a long, zig, zag line which starts at Grand Canaria on the right and finishes at the Caribbean to the left.

Without getting through those days when the distances seemed so immense, the whole crossing would never have been made ... it was an intrinsic element of the passage.

This is the only way you are going to achieve your goals ... One small step at a time.

Barring a huge lotto win and discounting Lady Luck, you will not wake up tomorrow and discover you are rich!

Accumulating wealth or success for that matter is precisely that, a slow build up - an accumulation. You will barely notice it happening. You won’t, unless you’re extraordinarily successful, see huge advances in your standard of living. One day, some time in the future, when you’ve got to where you want to be, you’ll look back and remember where you were today. It will be easy to recall because today is the day your life changed.

And just to throw another spanner in the works, you might never get to 'a place' because I've found just as you get there you edge the finish just a little further away ... but that's for when your ending your current navigation.

You can’t cheat time and space to transcend an ocean; you can’t set off in a boat that is only capable of 10 knots and expect to be on the other side in a couple of days ... there are laws of physics governing it as sure as the rules of success dictate that you won't get rich, wealthy and free without the action (even if that action is buying a lotto ticket or nurturing that rich relative or little old wealthy lady you do the shopping for).

You can’t set off on your mission today, skip all the trials and tribulations of achieving and tomorrow have super-success. You need to break the transit down into small fragments. If you want to cycle across a continent you can only do it by turning the peddles at a rate that can be coped with. Peddle too fast and you burn out, fall off the bike, bounce down the black stuff, and end up with road rash!

Even then you're not done. You have the opportunity and choice to get back on that bike and do a Lance Armstrong ... or sit feeling sorry for yourself, nursing the grazes in the gutter watching those that paced themselves cycle on.

You have your goals and a timescale. You now need to break them down into manageable portions. Achieve each goal one at a time and eventually they will culminate into the big, winning picture.

For each element of your new life make a plan of action. For example, you want to be driving a Porsche by the end of the year. Take a postcard and write it down. The make, model, colour and the date by when you want to take delivery. Now pin this somewhere prominent, stick it under a fridge magnet so that you can see it every day. This piece of paper is your chart, the map which shows the way. The car is the destination and the date is when you expect to arrive. Each day check your progress. If you are off course then readjust and alter your direction.

You need to do this with each facet of your vision. Read your set of goals aloud, every day until they are accomplished. Then, and only then, can you bin that particular chart and write out a new set of goals.

Those individual, little achievements are the pixels which create a masterpiece.

DO NOT MOVE ONTO THE NEXT GOAL UNTIL YOU HAVE ACHIEVED THE CURRENT ONE.

See it through. Remember, an ocean crossing, a great passage, is made up of many trials and tests of character on many levels. If you fail to complete just one you’ll fail ... and probably die!

The huge seas, fatigue and isolation will intimidate and it'll soon dawn on you that there's no one out there to be dependent upon ... There's just little old YOU ... and it's no different during your success voyage!

If you don’t arrive at your destination on time, change the timescale. You can’t step off the boat until she’s safely tied up to dry land can you?
