How to Achieve Breakthrough Results in Work and Life

America’s No. 1 Success Coach Jack Canfield, inspires Manila

His life and body of work testify a formula of success practiced over and over again from thoughts to the point of action. A global best-selling author, speaker, and famously called America’s Number One Success Coach, Jack Canfield inspired Manila and left lessons that impact people’s lives for the good.

“Be clear with your goals, take 100% responsibility of your life, and take action,” he stressed over and over again to over 200 participants at the ITD “Achieving Breakthrough Results in Work and Life” seminar in Manila, Philippines last September.

As you may have read in my previous posts, Jack Canfield is one of my mentors. His lessons and inspiration are instrumental in writing my autobiographical book “The Tale of Juliet” and toured the globe sharing my story.

Since 2005, I have been one of his avid student and we were able to share a great friendship along with his wife Inga Canfield. In fact during the seminar, he graciously introduced me and allowed me to speak on stage in front of my fellow “kababayans” (countrymen). I am a believer of “Paying it forward” and I happily gifted a copy of “The Tale of Juliet” to all those who attended the event knowing that in many ways my story will inspire them to make their dreams come true.

Jack shared practical and actionable strategies to achieve success in life and here are some worth writing down:

You attract what you focus on. Take control of your mind:

1.      Start the day by being grateful.
2.      Focus on joy and love so you can create harmony with other people.
3.      Keep yourself in positive vibration – think happy thoughts.
4.      Give up complaining.
5.      Practice this with consistency and discipline.

Achieve success by making the Law of Attraction work for you:

1.      Ask what you want.
2.      Decide what you want.
3.      Get a clear vision of your goals.
4.      Believe that you can achieve your goals.
5.      Take action.

Act as If. Create the image and feelings of success:

1.      Be careful with your words, use “I can and I will”.
2.      Visualize yourself achieving your goals.
3.      Take control of your physical state.
4.      Act as if you are successful. Look and feel good inside out.
5.      Network with people: know those who can play in your team.

Jack ended the day by stressing on the importance of seeing beyond the  reality of our life – our present situation, what we have, our limitations. “Look past that perimeter and go farther. Use your vision
to produce what you want. Focus on what you would like to achieve. Believe that you can. Take action and make it happen,” he said.

Indeed, the last line of what he said is the tune that I sing in my life, and it works every time.
Make it work for you too.

How to Play the Game of Life, and Live and Ultimate Life!

Living on auto-pilot? It is time to play the Ultimate Game of Life!

While attending Jack Canfield’s Breakthrough to Success Seminar 2010, I heard that sought-after business coach Jim Bunch would be speaking about transformational environment – how to create an ultimate life through our physical surroundings. I spotted him on a corner talking to some of the seminar staff. I knew this was one of those opportunities to apply my mentor’s Jack Canfield’s Success Principle which is “Ask, ask, ask.”

With confidence, I introduced myself and asked If I can interview him to share his wisdom. He instantly agreed and we did an impromptu interview during one of the breaks. He talked about creating our environment by design instead of by default. Here’s what he had to say:

According to him there are 9 different environments that we shoud understand and be consciously aware of 24/7. These are:

The Nine Environments of You by Jim Bunch
The Nine Environments of You

Apart from being aware, Jim shared that it is important for us to assess and craft these environments to our advantage. To do this:

  1. Listen and be aware to each of the nine environments. Do they inspire or expire you?
  2. Assess your current ratings in each – is it good or can it still be improved?
  3. Establish or write down your “desired” action or changes you want to make.
  4. Identify the negative aspects of the environments that you want to delete.
  5. Identify what positive things or changes you want to add and act on them.

If we become more conscious of our environments, do the prescribed strategies above, and stick to our action plan, we can live an extraordinary and ultimate life.

Jim and I agreed on the fact that a lot of people go to seminars, get pumped up to transform, but go back to their same old life. In order to avoid self-help learnings from becoming shelf-help, Jim said that we need to consistently focus and act on three things, everyday:

  • Towards happiness
  • Towards health
  • Towards wealth

Is it really possible for someone to be happy, healthy, wise? The big answer is  YES! If you put happiness first, your health, and wealth will follow. They key is the awareness and recognition of what makes you happy, what makes you healthy, and wealth creation will follow as a result.

“Live life by design and not by default. Craft your environment because the right environments pull you into a bigger game or a bigger you,” Jim said.

A Review: Letting Go Movie and the Sedona Method

I am so blessed to have watched the movie “Letting Go” with over three hundred like minded-friends. This was during Jack Canfield’s Breakthrough to Success Seminar 2010. The movie is a result of true to life experiences in action, and years and years of practice and teachings of SEDONA METHOD that transformed the lives of thousands of people.

The SEDONA METHOD is a unique, simple, powerful, easy-to-learn and duplicate technique that shows how an individual can uncover his natural ability to let go of any painful or unwanted feeling, belief or thought in the moment. Celebrities and executives and teachers in the film The Secret have used the method to help eliminate suffering and create all their heart’s desires.

Hale Dwoskin, author of the Sedona Method, shared how we can let go of our painful experiences, fears, negative thoughts and programming by simply welcoming and embracing them, breathe and ask three questions.

• Could you let it go?
• Would you let it go?
• When would you let go?

He said that it does not do well for us to hold on to things and feelings that do not serve us. “Let go of the feelings that is causing you distress and the result would be life at ease, pure joy, inner peace and exponential possibilities to live the life we truly want for us and for others we love the most.”

I invite and encourage you to watch the movie with your friends and love ones over and over again. It’s amazing! It’s powerful! When we learn how to LET GO and Heal our own selves we also heal world and make it a better place.
