How You can Achieve Success… … Everytime Part 3
As promised, I will be focusing on How you can deal with ‘Precursors of Failure’ patterns in this post. Some simple strategies.
1) Threshold blow-out
What I mean by threshold blow-out is to exaggerate your pattern to the extent that it becomes ridiculous. You will know you have done it when you find yourself laughing at what you are doing, behaving like an idiot or when someone comes up to you and ask “What are you doing?!” (For those who knows NLP, yes, this is a pattern interrupt)
Let’s take Alvin’s case as an example:
Go buy lots of Vanilla Coke and place them at your workplace, bedroom and basically at every places you can see them. Buy not just a dozen cans but by the cartons! Maybe stack up a few cartons as footrest under your computer desk. Yes! This is what I mean by ridiculous! I bet now Vanilla Coke kicks in as a motivator to work instead.
I used this quite often in my coaching and it has broken many limiting patterns with much success.
2) Practise what you are going to do instead
Part of re-conditioning is to practise. Practise in your mind what you want to happen instead when a ‘Precursors of Failure’ pattern occurs. You can use simple visualizations or even the Swish pattern for those who know. Another way is to get your friend to practise with you what you say you will do instead (that’s why I say share)
Of course, the above 2 strategies may not resolve every single ‘Precursors of Failure’ pattern. So go ahead and leave a comment on what has worked for you and what has not or even share some of your successful strategies. I’m eager to learn too. What else is possible?
Just Do It!
Your Google ads are disturbing.
Hey Alvin, know what, I just feel like how you once were…
Action, action action… I need more action.
Yes, they are, aren’t they? I hope my content is less disturbing
Yes Nick, act, just act. Life’s too short not to do anything else
So so true ! My pet topic is leadership and there’s a plethora of stuff I’ve read about it. But then reading just provides the material, but the real benefit of reading is the thinking and actions that ensue.
Choosing one of the characteristics of successful leaders and working on them – that’s the effort now. And taking it one baby step at a time – is sooo darn painful !
i can now understand the difference.
It’s this little difference (applying what we learnt)
that makes HuGE improvements!
Before I coach POE, I had helped people whom I came in contact with everyday…
yet it’s ONLY WHEN I coached POE,
I was stretched to push my limits & devour more than I already have!
Being in the community pushes me to advance my skills further!
The People we mix with..
the Books we read…
& the Thoughts we keep!
Plus using the Law of Attraction!
What are you attracting?
Yes! That’s right!
waiting for more to come… ~o*
Ha ha success is a simple formula but most people miss the point and end up blaming other people on sabotaging their success.
Bob Proctor puts it best in his interview report. To attract abundance, we need not only have positive thoughts but also postive energy vibration and action plan.
So we still need action. and lots of it to get to where we want to reach.
Contrary to what many people believe, the famous ‘sceptics’ of NLP, NLP actually works. Not because there’s a great deal of study behind it, or because it’s an exact science – in fact it’s not a science – but because it’s practical. It works by definition, because NLP is something that works. So just do it!
Action is the key and I teach that as well in my Power Team Model.
I love your three key points: 1) Build the belief that you already have all the resources you need or can get them., 2.) Start small, and 3) Surround yourself with like-minded people.
I’d just add to surround ourselves with Positive like-minded people.
If I just stuck with your number one point, and spent my time re-reading the notes and books I already have – think of the money I wouldn’t be sending to Amazon.
Thanks for the good reminder,

True. One of the missing secrets of The Secret is ACTION. The other one is that recent research shows that what successful people do is not day dreaming, fantasizing about their goal. Yes, they do want to see, hear, and feel what it’s going to be like when they have their goal. And then… they imagine the STEPS of getting the goal. They know exactly what it takes. And it’s almost like the saying (paraphrasing of course): it’s not the destination but the journey that’s enjoyable.
