Instant Inspiration

As I look back on the last decade of my life I attribute the largest single personal, professional and peace of mind
gains to Matthew and his coaching/ mentoring. Thru Matthews guidance I have been able to build a life that I love living. Sure, he was there when I bought my first Rolex, BMW, and made the first million but those things really pale in comparison with the real gifts such as learning how to be grateful and accepting myself and other people unconditionally. Matthew is one of the rarest people on the planet because of the intensity in which he projects his energy in fulfilling other peoples dreams. Whether you are seeking fame, fortune, joy, acceptance or just pure bliss, the teacher is ready when you are and his name is Matthew Ferry.

Matthews coaching programs DELIVER. His processes truly do lead to power, profit and peace of mind. My experience through the 6 month mastermind program exceeded my expectations. I had unbelievable moments of clarity, unlike any in 20+ years and worth any price. My marriage has opened to a new level, and my wife deeply appreciates the shift. Unexpected, unexplainable good fortune has become a regular experience for me. Oh, and without doing anything differently, my net worth grew by more than my current annual income in 6 months. Whether youre in sales like many of his clients, or like me with a technology background, once you allow Matthews coaching and processes to work, your business, your life and your experiences will be deeply, positively and permanently transformed.

After participating in Matthews classes and applying his teachings on a daily basis, every aspect of my life has transformed into a celebration of joy. Experiencing enthusiasm and a renewed zest for life, I wake up every morning with a feeling of eagerness and positive anticipation for what this day is going to bring. Not only has my business expanded beyond belief, I also have drawn to me my soul mate and life partner. Matthews teachings, fueled with his strong passion and humor, have inspired me to live a life, better and brighter than I ever could have imagined. Matthew has shown me to dream big, to have the courage to go for the realizations of my dreams. To trust myself, living with awareness and clarity are his greatest gifts to me.

15 Bulletproof Strategies to Get You Inspired and in Action on Your Dreams Now
01.14.12
Introduction
A young man approached the manager of a lumber mill and told him I can chop wood three times faster then any of your men, you should hire me. The manager said, I dont have any positions available right now, young man. And my guys are the best in the business. So there is no way your claim is true. To which the young man rebutted, If your guys are that good, then give me a shot and prove me wrong. The manager agreed to the challenge. After the contest was done, the young man had chopped three times as much wood in the same amount of time as his competitor. The young man was hired. After three weeks the manager noticed the young man was chopping wood at the same rate as everyone else. He approached the young man after work one day and declared, Im going to have to let you go! You arent keeping your end of the bargain. You have slowed down and you are now chopping at the same speed as everyone else.
01.14.12
The young man looked defeated and replied, Ive been so busy chopping wood that I havent had time to sharpen my ax. Why are success and happiness out of reach for most people? Because most people are not inspired and consequently in action on their dreams. In this book, you will receive 15 bulletproof strategies to get inspired today. There is no someday. These strategies will give you the tools you need to shortcircuit the steps to your own success. Every strategy is about lining up your energy, getting your mind focused and removing the obstacles to joy, inspiration, happiness and excitement. When you feel those things, you are on fire, loving life and totally in action. No external motivation sources are necessary. After personally coaching over 8,000 people one-on-one to achieve success and happiness, I realized that what set apart the people who achieved success from those who struggled to achieve was one simple concept. The discipline of sharpening your mental AX! It is so easy to avoid the disciplines that bring about long-term prosperity, happiness and peace. We gravitate to those things that blot out the suffering of the mind. It is so tempting to fill the mind with entertainment and bubble gum. Every discipline in this book will help you create a life filled with anticipation, excitement, joy and outstanding results.
01.14.12
Its all about sharpening your ax. And what is your ax? Your mind, your thoughts, your energy, your focus! Are you ready to get into that place of joy, happiness, excitement and enthusiasm NOW? These feelings make way for inspiration. When you are inspired you will go the extra mile, do what is necessary to get the results you want. When you are inspired, there is no need for motivational pep talks. When you are inspired, you take action because you want to. You do hard things that other people may not do, with pleasure. Any one of the 15 strategies that follow could be the ONE idea, tool, discipline or technique that accelerates your success and happiness into the stratosphere this year. Warning: Dont make yourself wrong and beat yourself up if you dont do every single thing these strategies tell you to do. Just do the most you can do. Dont get stuck, dont get stopped by what you are feeling or thinking when you read the lesson. If you cant get yourself to do it, move on to the next one. One of my strategies is going to get you inspired and in action on your dreams. Just keep pushing forward!
01.14.12
Strategy One - Your Prophecy Letter

The first thing you want to do is get out of the past, stop trying to fix yourself, stop fretting over what you are going to do to have more success and happiness. Stop looking at what didnt work and start prophesizing about your future. In this lesson, you will write a letter as though you had achieved everything you wanted to achieve, dated one year from today. As background, I want you to understand that your mind, which I lovingly call The Drunk Monkey, is not an effective tool for achieving your goals and dreams. Your minds job is to keep you alive and one of the tools it uses to keep you safe is to prophesize about negative futures and then try to avoid them. Hello! This is a problem. You get what you focus on. If you allow The Drunk Monkey to focus on negative futures and try to avoid them, it actually attracts them straight to you.
01.14.12
10
So whats the solution? Create your own one-year prophecy letter. That is your first strategy. Write a letter as if it is one year from now. Look back over the last year, and describe how amazing your life has been since you started sharpening your ax. Write the letter in present tense. Write about everything and everyone that is important to you:
Family Primary relationship (spouse or partner) Physical health Mental/emotional Business Finance Social Contribution Recreation Spiritual Write it today! Write it right now! Dont hesitate. Your letter doesnt have to be long. It can be two paragraphs. As long as you start thinking as though you were already in the future you wish to create.
01.14.12
11
By the way, when I coach people through this process I usually ask them to do one new thing every day. To help you achieve that accountability structure I created a free 15-day version of these strategies spoon-fed to you with audio and examples. Check it out at www.15strategies.com.

Strategy Two - The 10/10 Visualization

In this lesson, you will receive a powerful visualization tool. Are you ready for the bottom line? Discipline creates freedom. This is a paradox because most people live like it is the other way around. People say to me, How can I be free if I am disciplined? Some of my clients say to me, If I am doing things in a regimented way, then I am not giving myself the freedom and flexibility I need to be happy. The opposite is actually true. If you are not disciplining yourself, you are not likely to experience the freedom to be happy. Discipline gives you the skills, mindset, and power to create the circumstances in your life that will light you up, and make you happy. Think about Olympic figure skaters. They display an amazing freedom on the ice. How did they get this freedom? In most cases, that freedom
01.14.12
13
of movement on the ice was preceded by a decade or more of rigid daily discipline. True freedom happens through discipline. The following discipline will increase the magic in your life. My students experience amazing results as a result of doing this exercise every day
10/10 Visualization
Are you ready to create some wild results in your life? Big dreams and big manifestations will spring forth from the daily use of this technique. Counting your blessings each day is essential for explosive growth. The more you study my material, the more you naturally become grateful and inspired. Thats what it takes to transform your life, to create the maximum power to manifest your dreams. The universe is happy to provide for you, as long as you are happy about what you already have. If you are dissatisfied with your current situation, that energy muddlesup your intentions. The more dissatisfied you are, the more you receive that which dissatisfies you. Remember, this is an attraction-based universe. From gratefulness, powerful manifesting becomes possible. Heres what you are going to do to become more grateful and put this power to work for you:
01.14.12
14
Make a list of 10 things you love about your life, your family, your job, your product, the opportunities you have, and your customers. Include anything that works well in your life, anything you like, and all the people you are happy about having in your life. Then add things you are thankful for. Make a list of 10 things you want to accomplish: your goals, dreams, visions, and aspirations in life. Once you have the lists, you can begin this discipline. Every morning, find a comfortable place to sit with your back straight and feet on the ground. Before you start, take a moment to review both lists. Then, close your eyes and take 10 deep breaths. Hold each breath as long as you can. Then blow it out slowly. Now, that you are in a very powerful, conscious state, mentally review your list of everything that is good, that you are happy about. Dwell on each item. Get really connected with how great it is to have this in your life. Let the emotions of gratitude well up inside of you and overflow. Its okay to cry tears of joy. In fact, thats the objective. Once you have spent some time truly appreciating your life mentally, shift to your list of things you want to accomplish. But keep the feeling of gratitude. First think about how amazing your life is that you have these kinds of objectives. Then start being thankful for each item as if it had already come true, or was already happening or occurring right now. Think
01.14.12
15
about it the same way you thought about the first list. Let your imagination run away with you. One of the key elements to this visualization is getting emotional. By goosing up the desire, you turbo-boost the results you achieve. During each 10/10 Visualization exercise, work to charge your emotions with gratitude and get as excited as you can about how great your life is. Then transfer that same excitement to your desired outcomes and dreams. Get excited as if your dreams are coming true right now. You have hit maximum power when you are moved to tears of joy for the opportunities the universe has provided you. Note that you wont always be able to create the feelings you want, so dont make yourself wrong when it is not as intense as it was before. Keep doing the 10/10 Visualization and your emotions will eventually ramp up. Do it now! Dont wait. Make your list of 10 things you love about your life and 10 goals and dreams. Do it now. Get in action. Open up a Word Document, get out a scratch pad, send it in an e-mail to yourself, do it now. If you are in breakdown, this is your ticket out. If you are on a roll in your life, this will keep you rolling.
01.14.12
16
Strategy Three - Daily Gratitude List

In this lesson, you write what you feel gratitude about every day. Its all about gratitude! Your life rocks. The Drunk Monkey (remember, this is what I call the mind) wont let you acknowledge it. Why? The mind is focused on survival. Its goal is to keep you safe, and it does this by trying to prevent your negative future. As a result you ruminate about potential negative futures and set into motion a pathway to create more of what you dont want in your life. The Drunk Monkey and The Law of Attraction are definitely not friends! You may be interested in these highlights from a research project on gratitude and thankfulness from UC Davis and University of Miami. Here is the synopsis. Gratitude is the forgotten factor in happiness research. This is a long-term research project designed to create and disseminate a large body of novel scientific data on the nature of gratitude, its causes, and its potential consequences for human health and well-being.
01.14.12
17
In an experimental comparison, those who kept gratitude journals on a weekly basis exercised more regularly, reported fewer negative physical symptoms, felt better about their lives as a whole, and were more optimistic about the upcoming week compared to those who recorded hassles or neutral life events (Emmons & McCullough, 2003). A related benefit was observed in the realm of personal goal attainment. Participants who kept gratitude lists were more likely to have made progress toward important personal goals compared to subjects in the other experimental conditions. A daily gratitude intervention (self-guided exercise) with young adults resulted in higher reported levels of the positive states of alertness, enthusiasm, determination, attentiveness and energy compared to a focus on hassles or a downward social comparison (ways in which participants thought they were better off than others). There was no difference in levels of unpleasant emotions reported in the groups. Today start a gratitude list, journal, book, word doc, however you will most easily integrate the practice of feeling grateful into your life.
01.14.12
18
Strategy Four - Daily Intentions

In this lesson, you will write your intentions every day. Do you know how amazing you are? The very fact that you are reading the Instant Inspiration is totally amazing! Just take a moment and think about how committed you are. Take a deep breath, put your shoulders back, shake your head yes and think, You are right, Matthew Ferry, I am totally committed to having the best year of my life. Remember the young man with the ax? He could cut trees three times faster then anyone else when he spent time sharpening his ax. You are going to start experiencing some miracles here. I define miracles as good, unexpected experiences that occur in your life. To experience unbelievable good fortune in your life simply write down your intentions every day. What do you want? What would you like to have show up at your doorstep? What are you creating? Are you living your life by default or by design? What do you want in your life?
01.14.12
19
More money More business Kids to thrive The perfect job To be creative
Better relationships Happiness The perfect mate Opportunities
Many people want what they feel will make them look good or fit in. Most people are just tolerating their lives. It takes courage to ask for what you really want. When you declare your manifestation, it becomes 90 percent complete. You are declaring all the time. Most people dont declare intentionally. Complaints are intentions. Gossip is an intention. Describing what happened is an intention. Describing what you dont want is an intention. Analyzing is an intention. What you intend will happen so begin to listen to yourself today. Write down three things you want in your life now. Dont wait. Im your coach! Im your trainer! Do it now. My job is to push you to go beyond the Drunk Monkey. Go beyond the resistance. Lets go. Write something down now. If you want to really amplify your power, declare what you want to a community of people who will support you.
01.14.12
20
Strategy Five - Attracting the Perfect People

In this lesson, you will get perfect clarity around what you want to attract into your life. In my training course Awakening Sales Velocity I systematically train people to become magnetic to opportunities. I call it opportunity consciousness. The action of being aware of what you want brings it to you. Now heres the interesting twist. Opportunities come in the form of people. The people you meet hold the opportunities. The questions are: Will you know them when you see them? Imagine attending a gathering and people feel compelled to walk up to you and start a conversation. How many more opportunities would come your way if people were interested in you? The millionaires Ive coached over the years are people magnets. Are you ready for that? Are you ready to become a people magnet and
01.14.12
21
attract the opportunities you have always desired? The trick will totally blow you away. Listen to this one word. Clarity! Clarity is powerful. Clarity is attractive. Clarity is totally free. Anyone can have it. Here is how it works. Have you ever been in the market to buy a new car? Remember when you made the decision on the car you were going to buy? Suddenly, you started seeing that particular model everywhere! It was as if everyone decided to buy the same car you were going to buy. Is that true? No. People were driving those cars the whole time, long before you got in the market to buy one. You just werent aware of it. Science tells us that we are exposed to more than one billion bits of information every second and our brain cannot process it. In fact, our brain can only deal with seven (plus or minus two) things at any given time. As it turns out, the world is filled with what you want, and all you have to do is become clear about what is wanted and it will mysteriously appear. Isnt that crazy? If you are anything like me, you probably have felt like youve had to work hard to make things happen in life. It didnt seem like anything was mysteriously appearing for me, early in my life. But as soon as a millionaire friend if mine taught me this concept everything changed. Are you ready for things to get a lot easier?
01.14.12
22
The moment you get clear about the people you want to attract into your life, the perfect people appear. Now, take a minute to think about that. The moment you put your attention on something like dream clients, angel investors, the perfect mate, or your champion or advocate, they start to appear everywhere. Isnt that exciting? You are about to discover that you are surrounded by people who would love to send business your way, or give you that opportunity you have been seeking. You are too busy focusing on their absence to see them. OUCH! And by the way, its not magic. Its brain science. But I dont want to bore you with those details now. Lets get focused on attracting the perfect people with the perfect opportunities now. Clarity is the answer. So lets get clear, right now. You can use this exercise to determine the qualities and characteristics of the perfect clients, the perfect customer, the perfect business partner, the perfect bringer of opportunity, the perfect employee. Whoever you wish to attract into your life now can be attracted, if you will get clarity. Lets use the example of the perfect client. Remember we could just as easily substitute perfect client for perfect mate, investor, employee or collaborator.
01.14.12
23
Dream Client Exercise:

Open a Word Document or pull out a note pad and get ready to write. Answer this question: have you ever worked with a client that was truly a pleasure to work with? If not, can you imagine what they would be like? For example, what would it be like to do a deal with your most trusting and easy going friend? With that person in mind, make a list of qualities, characteristics and attributes of your dream client. Expand your list by answering questions to help you discover your Dream Client.
What is their attitude? What kind of positive behaviors do they display around you? How do you feel around them? How do they treat you? What is your communication like with them? How do they speak to others about you? What are they committed to in your relationship? How many referrals do they send you?
01.14.12
24
Now type that list up and keep a copy in your car to review before appointments. Put a copy up on the fridge at home so you see it every day. Keep a copy in your office and review it in the morning before you start the day. Keep a folded up copy in your wallet or purse. This way you see it often, and even if you dont read it, the fact that it is there will make you think about it again. Keep a copy next to your bed and each night, and say to yourself, Thank you for sending me Dream Clients and then review your list before you close your eyes. Now, you can use this process for anyone you want to attract. Consider this. You are reading this because I made my perfect client list and you showed up! Ive also got a list for my perfect Joint Venture Partner, my perfect employee, my perfect creative partner, my perfect mate, and even for my perfect child.

25
Strategy Six - Your Victories and Miracles

In this lesson you will discover you are what you think about. You must learn to focus on your wins, not your losses. You get what you magnets. So what are you focusing on? focus on. You become what you think about. Your thoughts are powerful
Great stuff happens to you. You have wins, victories, you overcome the time. Do you know that about yourself ?
obstacles, you do the right thing, and you do something extraordinary all
Of course not! The Drunk Monkey (your mind) doesnt have time for acknowledgement. Plus, the Drunk Monkey will tell you its silly to definitely not allies. acknowledge yourself. The Drunk Monkey and the Law of Attraction are
You get what you focus on. The Drunk Monkey focuses on whats wrong, to be avoided.
what needs to be fixed, whats broken, and what might happen that needs
01.14.12
26
So how do you get yourself out of the self-fulfilling prophecy of negativity and downward spirals? Focus your energy on the positive wins. Journal your wins, victories and miracles every single day. Do you ever have a down day where you feel glum, feel off, not quite on the ball? You can open up your victory journal and revisit how magical your life has been. Do it now. Write down all the wins, victories and miracles youve experienced over the last few days. Get in the habit. Take time to sharpen your ax every day.
01.14.12
27
Strategy Seven - Create a Dream Board

In this lesson, you will focus on what happens when life is as good as it gets. What has happened to you since you began reading Instant Inspiration? Are you reading this all in one sitting, or have you paused with days in between to integrate the material? If you are reading this over the course of a week or several days, you are probably already experiencing some miraculous things in your life. Are you feeling more optimism, more joy and more inspiration? Share those feelings with others and watch it grow. Would you like to share a testimonial with me? If you would like to share a testimonial about how great your life is becoming send me an email at info@matthewferry.com Thank you in advance! Your testimony will help you expand your good feelings and it will help me to change the world and bring billions of people in to a state of happiness and peace!
01.14.12
28
Now, it is time to sharpen your ax! If life was as good as it gets, what would it look like? What are your dreams? What do you want? What kind of house do you want? What kind of car do you want to drive? Do you want a spouse? Do you want a revitalized relationship with your spouse? What are the ultimate vacation spots for you? Do you want a boat, a yacht or several yachts? The world is your oyster! You can have anything you want. Heres the assignment: 1. Go buy a ton of magazines. Buy a journal I like a spiral pad. 2. Cut out all the pictures that remind you of the life you are creating. 3. Paste them in the book in a meaningful way. Keep the book by your bed and review it daily 4. Daydream, fantasize and feel what it would be like to have everything you want in your life.
01.14.12
29
Do it today! Create a dream book that visually represents what your life would look like at its peak. The best life you can think of.
01.14.12
30
Strategy Eight - The Power of Meditation

In this lesson you will discover the power of meditation. Nothing has made a bigger difference in my life then meditation. Isnt that an odd thing to think about? The practice of sitting silently and not doing anything has made the biggest difference in my life. Meditation is the process of self-mastery. It is mastery of the mind. Meditation gets you connected with who you really are. Meditation frees you from the grip of The Drunk Monkey who can be belligerent, nasty, and judgmental and mean to you. In meditation, you realize that your mind is not your friend. You realize that your mind is just biology. It is energy moving through fields of neurons in your brain. Your mind does not listen to you. It may or may not like you. It isnt interested in you being inspired. Meditation is the process of observing your mind and noticing how funny it is. Once you can see
01.14.12
31
your mind for what it really is, it starts to shut up and not be so dominant in your consciousness. As you see your mind for what it is (just biology), your confidence soars. You begin to feel like you are on the right path. Even when the future is unclear, you trust that you are going to be taken care of. Its awesome. You will love it. Confidence, certainty and trust become yours for no reason, just because you are alive. Doesnt that sound crazy? The Drunk Monkey is exactly the opposite. The Drunk Monkey is about fear, anger, distrust, skepticism, and hesitance. There is nothing wrong with that; it is just that you get what you focus on. So let me lead you in a very simple meditation right now. Close your eyes. Take a deep full breath. Keep taking deep full breaths all the way down to your belly. Even push your belly out with the breaths. Nice and slow, begin to allow yourself to feel totally relaxed. Relax your effort. Relax your shoulders.
01.14.12
32
Now I want you to breathe in and say to yourself I wonder what my next thought will be? and hold your breath until it comes. The next time you breathe in, say it again I wonder what my next thought will be? and hold your breath until a thought comes. When a thought comes, exhale, and as you are breathing in say I wonder what my next thought will be? and keep going for about 30 seconds. Every day, maybe while you are driving, or maybe in the shower, spend a couple minutes saying to yourself I wonder what my next thought will be? Just notice. Get out of judgment. Its not bad that you have to poop. Pooping isnt wonderful, its stinky and inconvenient, but you dont make it wrong, you just accept it as a part of your experience. The same thing could be said about thinking. It is not wrong; it is just a part of your experience. You have just accidentally made it important when it is not. Inspiration flows in moments of no thought. Sharpen your ax.
01.14.12
33
Strategy Nine - The Power of Visualization

This lesson shows the power of visualizing outcomes every day, all day long. In my powerful teleseminar Awakening Sales Velocity I share how to utilize the power of visualization to attract sales effortlessly. These people want to attract more prosperity, abundance and good fortune into their lives. The class has gotten bigger and bigger over the years because of word of mouth. Everyone who takes it says the same thing I had no idea that my life could accelerate that fast, just by getting control over my mind. Visualization is one of the most powerful tools for taking control of the mind, and you are going to start doing it today. I learned it from professional athletes, who pioneered the process and brought it into the mainstream in the early 1970s. So how do you do it?
01.14.12
34
First of all, remember that your mind is not your friend and your mind is not interested in your goals and dreams. Your mind, aka The Drunk Monkey, is interested in survival and keeping you alive. Its like the CIA for the body, so it is not going to cooperate most of the time and it will quickly lapse into a sea of crazy thoughts that are totally random and completely off track. Dont make The Drunk Monkey wrong, just gently point The Drunk Monkey back to the images you want to be focused on. With practice you will be able to hold images for several minutes. What should you visualize? What do you want? What is the outcome? How do you want to behave? What results do you want to produce? When should you visualize? Before anything important Before a meeting Before you perform Before you drive your car Before you create something Before you get to a parking lot
01.14.12
35
My kids visualize before they take tests, before they play soccer, before taking a golf swing. You become what you think about. You thoughts become things. Where your attention goes, energy flows.
01.14.12
36
Strategy Ten - Power Daydreaming

I think I can, I think I can, I think I canI know I can! You are two-thirds of the way through Instant Inspiration In this lesson, you will discover power daydreaming. This tool will rock your world. You are working on being able to chop three times more wood in the same time as everyone else. How? By keeping your ax sharp! Most people make the mistake of getting in action too soon. They dont take the time to line their energy up, get their mind clear and focus on what they want. We are going to get that negative self-talking nasty Drunk Monkey in your head sober and in shape to make this the best year of your life.
01.14.12
37
Power Daydreaming
Every day you spend countless hours chewing on thoughts like a cow chewing on cud. Round and round your mind goes like a hamster on a wheel, lots of thinking with no particular results in mind. As a student of Matthew Ferry International, you are now going to utilize that mindless time for power daydreaming. Catch it when your mind is wandering and bring it back into focus. How do you want your days to look? What outcome do you want to produce with this next sales call? How will your life be 10 years from now? Who is your perfect client and what makes them so perfect? By spending your time daydreaming about these things, you keep the Law of Attraction working for you all day. Next thing you know, youre living your dreams. Power daydreaming. Catch your mind wandering and visualize something you want. Play with it all day today.
01.14.12
38
Strategy Eleven - The Power of Affirmations

In todays lesson you will re-discover the power of affirmations. Are you even using affirmations in your life today? I dont have to tell you that your life is created from the thoughts you think repetitively. Your life today is the sum total of what you were thinking previously. And your future will be what you think about today. Im going to say it again: This is an attraction-based universe, and your thoughts are like powerful magnets. Affirmations are pre-written thoughts. Thoughts are magnets for experience. Use this process to create your affirmations.

1. Identify what you want: your goals, dreams, visions, and aspirations. 2. Identify what behaviors cause those results. For example, in my
book Creating Sales Velocity we talk about the Conscious Salesperson. To become a Conscious Salesperson, one of the you look for what you like about each person you meet. goals is to accept people exactly the way they are. To achieve this,
3. Identify how thoughts cause your behaviors. For example: If you were going to find something you liked about everybody, a thought that might cause you to do that would be something like, People are interesting. 4. Turn those thoughts into affirmations. Affirmations should be first person I am Affirmations should be present tense Affirmations should be action-oriented: I find people interesting. I look for what I love about everyone I meet.
As you get more excited about your own affirmations, lets talk about ways to use them. Some of my clients like writing them down every day. Others have found that reading them each day is a powerful mental programming tool. A lot of my clients have found someone else who is equally interested in using affirmations and have arranged a time each day to call each other and say their affirmations out loud to each other.

Even if you didnt do a single thing I asked, exposure to this material is inescapable in its power to change your life forever. Now, ask yourself empowering questions. Here is a sample of the questions I like to ask myself

Which feelings will make my life enjoyable today? Why is today perfect? What is perfect about my family? Whats perfect in my life? What do I love about my job? What do I love about my products and services? What do I want the universe to line up for me today? How do I want my day to look? Now its your turn. Write down two questions that will empower you today. What are they? Write, right now.

The Drunk Monkey loves to ask questions like Why me? What if it doesnt work? How come everyone else? Wheres mine? How come I didnt get it? The Drunk Monkey learned about life by the time you were two or three years old and if you really got honest, it hasnt changed. Your mind is not a grown up. Its a toddler stuck in the Terrible Twos forever. Today, take conscious control over The Drunk Monkey and ask it questions that will get it moving in the direction that you want.

Strategy Thirteen - The Power of Forgiveness

In this powerful lesson, you release yourself from anger, frustration and pain. This is the time to lift the curse of The Drunk Monkey! The Drunk Monkeys job is to keep you alive. Your minds job is to keep you alive. How does it do it? It generalizes! You walk over you pet a dog the dog bites you.Ouch! Next time you see a dog, what does The Drunk Monkey tell you to do? Stay away! The Drunk Monkey generalizes that all dogs bite, but they dont! The Drunk Monkey has been a very powerful survival mechanism over the centuries and because of it, we have such a wonderful standard of living today. But it has gone too far. There are people in your life who did something to you and it hurt you, or it almost hurt you, or they broke your trust, broke your expectations. Now The Drunk Monkey is trying to keep you safe from them.
01.14.12
44
This is one of the most destructive side effects of The Drunk Monkey. Consider this: Most people are trying to keep themselves safe from their parents. Hello, your parents only want the best for you, no matter what you think. There are some people who are trying to protect themselves from their spouses, lovers, partners and significant others. That person did something a while back, and now The Monkey tells us not to trust them! Are we crazy? We let The Drunk Monkey kill off our loved ones. Who do you need to forgive in your life today? Release yourself from the destructive focus of protection, anger, frustration, fear, anxiety and hate. The more you try to hold the people you know or have known accountable for some wrong doing of the past, the more you bring it upon yourself again and again. In my private coaching practice, one of our first initiatives is to assist you in becoming free from the hallucination that you are a victim. I coach my clients to let go of the past, forgive all who have done them wrong, and step into their power as the creator of their experience. Lets begin the process now, shall we? There are no victims. Victim is code for Im not responsible for where I put my thoughts. Victim means I am unwilling to be responsible for
01.14.12
45
my perception and my reaction. Victim means powerless. Is that you? Powerless? I dont think so. Therefore, its time to release the victim mindset and forgive someone important. Who is it going to be? Who are you making wrong? Who are you blaming? Who are you holding accountable that doesnt even know it? Write down the name, right now! Who are you going to forgive in your life? To take this to the next level, make a list and systematically forgive every single person in your life all the way back to when you were a toddler. Inspiration is your natural state! Inspiration occurs when you remove the toxic irresponsible thinking of the victim. Inspiration happens when you admit that you are the creator of your experience and you are no longer the victim of your circumstances.

Strategy Fourteen - Trevors Visualizing Game

You are on fire! You are unstoppable! Your intention to get inspired and in action on your dreams now is happening! Yes! I honor you! I appreciate you! What a blessing to have someone like you in my life. But there is no secret behind why you are here. I wrote down my qualities and characteristics of my perfect clients and here you are! So are you ready for your second to last strategy to get you inspired and in action on your dreams now? In todays lesson, you will learn Trevors Visualizing Game. When my son Trevor was five years old, I decided he was mentally ready to start acknowledging himself as the creator of his experience. I wanted to teach Trevor that work and effort were not required to produce results. I wanted to teach Trevor that his life was nothing more than a result of what his dominant thoughts were. But how do you teach that concept to a five-year-old?
01.14.12
47
After thinking about this for a while, I decided to invent a game, knowing full well that lecturing him as if he were my student would produce laughable results at best, and turn him off to the concept. I told Trevor that he had the ability to produce magical results, if he would just practice. I told him that whatever he visualized would come true and I proposed the game. After discussing it, Trevor decided to call it the Visualizing Game. Heres how it worked. Every night before he went to bed, I asked Trevor to choose something he wanted to experience. We started off simple. I asked, What would you like to see in your life? and Trevor responded, I want to see a blue butterfly! I said, Okay! A blue butterfly. Lets see it in our minds and show the universe what we want. We both visualized it and then I said to him, Now, remember that the universe is very excited to show you a blue butterfly, so lets start looking for one the moment we wake up. Trevor was always enthusiastic. At first it took us a couple of days or even weeks to manifest the result, but sure enough, we would see what we visualized. Over and over, we played this game, never choosing something new until our current visualization had manifested. When the universe delivered what we had visualized, we always got excited. Sometimes, Trevor would choose things that would cause me to doubt. One time he said, I want to visualize a golden eagle! Now I live in California, by the beach, and there are no eagles here, and
01.14.12
48
definitely no golden eagles. So I worried that this would be the end of the game, we would never see a golden eagle and he would begin to disbelieve in his power. What I didnt acknowledge was the power of my own doubt. Clearly my doubt was sending the opposite message because three, then four, and then five weeks went by and we had not seen a golden eagle. This was the longest it had ever taken to manifest something. It had been so much time that I had forgotten we were even looking. That was the trick! I let go of my doubt and resistance; in the sixth week Trevor and I were sitting in a bagel shop. Next-door was a bank whose emblem was a giant golden eagle. Trevor jumped out of his chair and said, Look, Daddy! A golden eagle! The universe did it again! Now its your turn. The discipline of being the creator of your experience becomes proactive with the Trevors Visualizing Game. Each day, choose something small and unique that you want to manifest. Dont choose something new until it has manifested. Dont get crazy and say, Im going to visualize a million dollars showing up on my doorstep. Your doubt will kill that off in a heartbeat. Start simple. Build your belief and confidence that you really are the creator of your experience. This is a discipline, like getting up early in the morning. You arent going to one day start getting up at 4:45 a.m. to work out if for years youve been getting up at 8:30 a.m. You need to start slow and build some momentum.
01.14.12
49
Dont get attached to the result or how it looks. Remember, the universe will always deliver the essence of what you want. For example: Trevor and I were on a trip to visit his grandparents in Oregon. We hadnt been there for a couple of years. On our drive from the airport I said, Lets visualize something! Trevor, always game, said, I want to visualize horses with hearts on them. Okay, I said, horses with hearts, lets visualize. Well, about an hour later we drove through this incredibly huge horse farm with thousands of horses everywhere. But no hearts! So we brushed it off and said, The universe only got the message for horses and wow, did it deliver! Thanks, universe! About an hour later, we arrived at the house. Trevors grandparents showed us to our room, which was filled with hearts printed on everything. There were little hearts everywhere! We asked for horses with hearts on them, and we got horses, and then we got the hearts. Trevor received a valuable lesson: The universe will always provide. Just dont be attached to how it looks. If you visualize a green pencil, you might see green everywhere all day long and a pencil at the end of the evening. Mission accomplished. The purpose of this game is to continue to build your belief that you are the creator of your experience of life. So whats it going to be? What will you manifest today with the power of your thought?
01.14.12
50
Remember, the less you care about seeing it, the faster it will come. The more attached you are, the slower it comes. This is why it takes so long to manifest your big dreams. Dont get me wrong, your big dreams are coming. It is just that you send mixed signals. I want a million dollarswhy does my life suck so badI need a million dollars to fix itbecause my life sucks so badwont it be great when I get a million dollarsbecause right now it sucks so bad. Stopstartstopstart. God, source, universeis listening and wants to deliver on intentions you are setting. Your job is to be in gleeful anticipation.

Strategy Fifteen - The Perfect Game

In this lesson, you learn The Perfect Game. Which of the strategies have you completed? Here are the previous strategies, in review: 1. One Year Prophecy Letter 2. 10/10 Visualization 3. Gratitude list 4. Setting intentions 5. Your Perfect Customer Attraction List, Your Perfect Mate List, etc. 6. Win book 7. Dream book 8. Meditation
01.14.12
52
9. Visualization 10. Power daydreaming 11. Affirmations 12. Empowering questions 13. Forgiveness 14. Trevors Visualizing Game And that leads us to our final strategy for sharpening your ax, The Perfect Game. The Perfect Game is a discipline. It acknowledges fully that you are the creator of your experience. It acknowledges that nothing comes to you that your thoughts and vibrations havent attracted. Your dominant thoughts are bringing you exactly what you desire. You just have to get out of the way. Here are the rules: Whatever is offered, take it. This is such an important rule. First of all, it allows the whole world of people to whom you contribute, to contribute back to you. Nothing gives people more satisfaction than being able to contribute. When you allow people to contribute to you, they allow you to contribute to them. Its the Law of Reciprocity. The people in your life, including your clients, would
01.14.12
53
love nothing more than to tell everyone they know about what you do. You must use the Law of Reciprocity to your advantage. Allow others to give to you, and they will allow you to give to them. Thats one reason to accept what is offered. Second, when you simply accept whatever is offered to you, the excitement in your life accelerates massively. Suddenly you are receiving all sorts of magical gifts that you never would have dreamed would come your way. And because you are going to follow the third rule of The Perfect Game, you will find yourself enjoying all sorts of new things and experiences that will make you feel more alive than you have ever been. All that you have been thinking about is on its way to you, the moment you think of it. The problem for most of us is that we stop the universe dead in its tracks with our doubts. This discipline of accepting what is offered acknowledges that the universe will deliver whatever we are focused on. Keep remembering that you must detach yourself from the way your visions are supposed to look and turn out. Heres an example. A couple years back I got it in my head that I wanted a Ferrari for free. I told my wife that I was going to play a game with the universe. I was going to begin thanking the universe, in advance, for a free Ferrari. About two months latter, my father called me out of the blue and
01.14.12
54
offered to give me his new wifes Lexus sport sedan. He already had three amazing cars and she was going to drive one of them now that they were married. Of course, because I play The Perfect Game, I accepted the car on the spot. A week after driving the car it occurred to me in a meditation that the Lexus had the essence of what a Ferrari represented to me. It was fast, slick looking, and luxurious. It wasnt the Ferrari by any means, yet everything I thought the Ferrari would be was represented in the car. And best of all, it was free. Start accepting what ever is offered today and get ready for your dreams to start rushing into your life. Whatever is suggested, do it. Wow! Can you feel the adventure your life is becoming by taking on this discipline? You will now begin experiencing the things you have always wanted to experience but have never had the courage to really ask for. The universe cant wait to deliver on your every desire. The discipline of doing whatever is suggested continues your quest for flexibility. It assists you in appreciating all that life has to offer. It opens up the possibilities of what you feel is acceptable. The more you open up to differences, the more power you have. You truly amplify the energy of attraction when you find joy in all that is suggested to you.
01.14.12
55
Whatever happens, declare it perfect. This is the culmination of everything we have been talking about. Go with the flow. Release your opinion of how things are supposed to be and instead enjoy what they are. Give up all your rules about how things have to be in order for you to enjoy them. Give up all the restrictions around what must happen for life to be right. Give up the constant comparing: This is good, this is bad. These are all just arbitrary points of view. Looking at it from a different perspective gives you a different judgment. You become the calming person in every situation, which means you are a leader. People follow leaders, and mastering the techniques my company teaches ultimately means you become a great leader. People trust you when you can make anything and everything okay. Playing the Perfect Game does just that. Playing The Perfect Game for one month means you will have the most amazing, tantalizing, extraordinary month of your life! Miracles occur as you accept whatever is happening and declare everything perfect! Youll find yourself lit up, alive, and invigorated while playing this game. That feeling is the most attractive feeling a human being can have. You are sending out the message of abundance. Abundance is flying at you right this very second; Just thinking about the game and the possibilities causes it to happen.
01.14.12
56
I challenge you to play this game for the next 30 days. It will blow your mind how much luck, synchronicity and good fortune will come your way. So now its time to figure out whats next. Lets play some more together. I would love to support you in taking your life to the next level. I know what we have done here has absolutely started the ball rolling. Now what? You cant just quit sharpening your ax. Remember the young man at the lumber mill? After three weeks of chopping and no sharpening he was as ordinary as everyone else.
