Values
We all have a hierarchy of values. The goals that you set yourself are supported by your value
system. You see, do and associate with things that support your values. In the hierarchy of your
values, you have prioritized your values. If money or wealth in your hierarchy of values is rated
number seven while entertainment or love of children are top on your hierarchy of values,
without fail, you will spend money according to your value system. You will invest in
entertainment and ensure that your friends know that you are a good entertainer. You will always
seek out entertainment. Similarly, if your top value is the love of children, children will become
your wealth. You will have a career working with children or you may be blessed with plenty of
children of your own. Fortunately you can change your value system. You see values are like
habits they can be changed. However, you may have to learn how to do things differently and in
new ways, and value new ways of looking at the world. In order to decide what values you want
to prioritize, you must first understand what is important to you, what you believe will bring you
a better life and what you consider to be right and will make you happy. The choice is yours, you
can choose new options, new directions and new habits.

You create your life with your Self-image; Self-confidence & Attitude
Self –image
What is self-image? Self –image are beliefs about us that have been formed from past experiences especially in early childhood. Once an idea or belief about ourselves is formed in our minds, it becomes “truth” and we proceed to act upon it as if it were true. What has self-image to do with success? Everything. If you have a negative self-image and negative self worth and you feel you do not deserve good life you will not be able to pursue your unique talents. People who feel undeserving, who doubt their own capabilities or who has a poor opinion of themselves rarely succeed in life. By understanding your self-image and learning to modify and manage it to suit your purpose, you will succeed in life.
Self-confidence
By reading this special report you have acknowledged that wherever you are in life at this moment, is not exactly the place you want to be. Something needs changing. Until now you have not been able to take the steps to change it. Could it be that you lack confidence, lack of assertiveness or afraid of making a wrong decision. Your beliefs could be holding you back. You can break through the blocks by identifying, defeating and unlocking the inner barriers to your success. If you ignore the signs of procrastination long enough, you will eventually become totally nonfunctional and just exist. Build self-confidence by destroying procrastination through action.
Attitude
Your mental attitudes shape your view of life, as it influences everything you do. You are aware that you talk to yourself all the time, and what you say to yourself has a strong influence on who and what you are, as it affects your actions, behaviour and decisions. If your mind is absorbing continual thoughts about something or if you are thinking about something continually, it will accept these thoughts as true and make them beliefs. Your subconscious mind will then get to work to make them a reality, attracting the events, circumstances, situations and people you think about. If you focus on your thoughts repetitively, vividly visualizing the worst case scenario, doom and gloom – be prepared to witness epiphany, the fulfillment of your prophecy with frightening and hair-raising accuracy. Your thoughts become things; they become reality – no bad luck; no bad days; no bad spirits – YOU ATTRACT WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT, GOOD OR BAD.
Change your thoughts and your life will change. Focus on good things and good things will come to you.

Take Responsibility For Your Life
TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR LIFE
Take and accept hundred percent responsibility for everything you are and everything you will ever be. Refuse to make excuses and stop blaming other people for your failure. Stop complaining about other people and things you are not achieving in your life. Never criticize other people for anything. If there is anything in life you do not want it is up to you to change it. You are in charge of your life.
- Decide what you want
- Develop a plan
- Take action
Decide what you want
Success and happiness are not matters of chance but of choice – you choose what you want in life.
This is the first step to getting the things you want in life. The reason why most people do not get what they want is they have not decided what they want, they have no goals and they have not taken any action towards what they want. They refuse to take calculated risks. They believe in wishes and luck that if only such and such could happen. In life such wishes never materialize. Some believe that the government owes them something, their employers owes them that promotion. This is pure ‘entitlement mentality.’ These people are disillusioned with their lives because they have no clear idea in their minds of what they want in life and how to achieve it. If you are not making any head way in your life, it is possible that you do not have a clear vision, purpose and goals in life. Do not worry, if this is you, because by the time you finish this special report, you will know what you have to do.
Develop a Plan
It is all well and good that you have written down your goals, but the equation is incomplete and will be of little benefit towards your success. Your written goals have to be supported by an intense burning desire to achieve them. How do you create this burning desire? There is a difference between a burning desire and worry. I am not advocating that you should worry about what you want, but I am urging you to develop an unshakable belief that will excite and inspire you to accomplish your goals. Write down all the rewards, advantages and benefits you will derive from achieving your goals. These will stimulate your desire and motivate you to accomplish all your goals.
There is no hard and fast rule to develop an action plan. You can use mind mapping or brain storming for creating a detailed to-do list for achieving your goals. Through this process, you can determine what information you will need to gather; people you need to talk to; how much money you will need to raise; which deadlines you will need to meet and what small steps you will need to take for each and every goal.
Once you are done with your mind map, convert your to-do list into daily action list. Organize them in terms of their priority and slot dates by which to start and finish each step and goal.
The difference between a dream and a plan is that a dream expresses a desire to achieve something while a plan expresses a method for accomplishing the dream.
Take action
The only way to start is to start. Do not procrastinate and postpone getting started. Do not think about the difficulty, obstacles or unpleasant features of the task, just start. Jump right in and get going without a lot of deliberation. The moment you start providence moves in too, and all sorts of things begin happening that would never have occurred. A stream of unforeseen events, circumstances, situations and material assistance come your way.
When you take action, you trigger all kinds of things that will inevitably carry you to success. People with similar goals become aligned with you. You begin to learn things from your experience that which cannot be learned from listening to others or from reading books. You begin to get feedback about how to do it better, more efficiently and more quickly. Things that once seemed confusing begin to become clear. Things that once appeared difficult begin to be easier. You begin to attract others who will support and encourage you. All good things begin to flow in your direction once you begin to take action. It’s true the defining moment of taking action always gets the miracles going - it’s magical. Try it.
Open a special file marked ‘goals accomplished’ and file all the information you will gather on a specific goal; your research notes, minutes you took with companies, notes you made with people you talked to; dates of appointment and dates of telephone calls you made. Once after a quarter, half yearly and year end, go through the list of your achievements no matter how small they may look in your eyes, this will inspire you to persevere when the going gets rough.

Goal Setting
Goal Setting
Our lives are affected by several factors, one of which is the environment, where we live, the parents we have, the school we attend and our friends all play a role in our lives. We are shaped by events and circumstances that happen in our lives. Knowledge or lack thereof also shapes our lives. Out of all the factors that affect our lives, nothing has the power of transforming our lives for the good, than our thoughts and the decisions and actions that we take.
By knowing your purpose in life, you now know why you exist. The knowledge of knowing your vision, where you are going and where you want to be and to be doing and the decision that you take will motivate and inspire you to practice goal setting.
You are not going to start brainstorming and writing down anything and everything that comes to your mind, but you will be guided by the seeds of thoughts that you are thinking and planting. These seeds could be your dreams, things that you want and think about a lot, material possessions you would like to have, your career of becoming a doctor or singer and places you would like to visit. Remember there are no limits, except those that you set for yourself. Therefore do not limit your life by disallowing yourself to imagine great possibilities for fear that you may not achieve them.
Here is what you need to do! Write down all your short and long term goals.
Prioritize your goals
Select ten goals from your list and start writing reasons why you want to achieve those goals. Next select three goals that are more pressing in your life and convert them into specific and measurable objectives and act on them with the belief that you will achieve them. Your goals have to be clear in every detail in order for you to achieve your goals. Include all possible details, colour of the car you want, make and model; the location of the house you want, number of rooms, furniture and any other vivid details, then provide a date by which you expect to own whatever it is that you want. For those who are new in this science, it is recommended that among your small goals such as passing that exam, getting higher grades, landing that first job or getting that promotion, that you should include ‘Big Goals’ that will stretch you, because this science works whether you want to create a button or a mansion, it works whether you believe in the law of attraction or not. Once you have written down all your goals, both large and small, make sure to read your goals at least twice a day- morning and evening. Write your goals on a 3x5 card, the size of your business card and keep them in your wallet.

What is Vision?
Vision
What is vision?
Vision is your ultimate accomplishment and fulfillment of your purpose. It is the better life you are dreaming about. It is the financial freedom you want. It is doing what you want to do when you want to do it. It is a destination. It is a result.
One way of looking at life is all about getting new and better or different results. Your health whether poor or good is a result, your weight thin or fat is a result, your bank balance is a result etc.
It does not take a rocket scientist therefore to figure out that if you want new, better or different results in an area of your life, you need new, better or different way of thinking and of doing things. So how do we create results? Our results are a product of our actions. We choose our actions based on our thoughts. So our thoughts become actions then become results.
Vision is similar to pregnancy; it starts as a seed, an idea or a thought that is planted. The desire to erect a beautiful building is an idea or thought that existed in our minds first before conception of the building took place. The more you think and do something about this thought it begins to grow and develop. Finally the seed is ready for birth. The labor and delivery takes place and the seed manifests itself where everyone can see it. What started as a thought or idea will grow and develop into reality. Our thought processes are like seeds growing in the soil of our brains. If the soil is infertile, the seeds will not grow. If the soil is fertile the seeds will grow into giant trees that sustain life. The moral of the story is that if you are planting seeds of wealth, those seeds need to be planted in a fertile brain that will support their growth.
In order to achieve the desired result one must, however, have a step-by-step blueprint of how to lay the foundation, support the structure etc. In order to realize your vision you need to set up goals that will guide you in the realization of your vision.
