“The All Powerful King Inside of You”

Inside of you is an “All Powerful King” who is capable of making all of your dreams come true. Whatever you tell him you want with purpose and conviction he will make happen in your life. He has that much power and he resides inside of you right now even as you are reading this article however you must be very careful because he takes whatever you tell him literally, good or bad. So be careful of what you tell him want. He believes what you tell him to be true, even when it isn’t and he can make bad things happen just as well as good things. Good or bad whatever he produces for you he believes it is the right thing for you. He takes everything you say literally.

Does that sound like a fantasy or a crazy story? It isn’t. I am talking about your subconscious mind and what I have described to you is exactly how it works, whether you believe it or not. Very little of what we do we do is at a conscious level. Neuroscientist now know that only about 10% of what we do is at a conscious level and 90% is subconscious. Your subconscious mind controls every aspect and function of your body and mind. Your heart beating right now, the breath you just took, every chemical and hormone being released and used in your body right now is being controlled by your subconscious mind. If you think about it, you will realize how amazing that really is.

Many times the reason you seem to have such a hard time letting go of bad habits is you try to change them at a conscious level and that doesn’t work. Your subconscious mind believes the bad habit is actually good for you and will at some point override your conscious mind. It is how you can rationalize or make excuses for your bad habit. It is the reason for so many years I would lose 50 or 100+ pounds and then I would put the weight back on, even though I didn’t want to. My subconscious mind perceived me as being fat and that being fat was a good thing, even though that sound crazy. That is how you get stuck in such negative patterns in your life and can’t seem to change them.

So, how do you change these negative images and beliefs you have about yourself? Long term change almost never happens at a conscious level. It has to happen at a subconscious level first and then it becomes part of our conscious reality. When I changed the perception of myself from being fat to being thin, then I was able to change myself physically. Change happens from the inside out not the outside in. You have to change the movie that is running all day long inside your head. Your homework today will help you do that and it is simple, easy and fun to do.

Your Daily Homework

Do this exercise every night as you go to sleep.

As you are laying in bed ready to fall asleep close your eyes and visualize exactly how you want your life to be. See it in great detail. Hear the sounds you would hear if it were real and feel all the emotions you would feel. Then fall asleep on that visualization. All night long your subconscious mind will be working on that image you created and as you do it more and more you will begin to make adjustments in your habits , values and beliefs. It is simple and it is very powerful and overtime it can change your life! In Napoleon Hill’s classic book on success, “Think and Grow Rich” he discovered that the most successful people in the world did this every night as they were going to sleep. People like Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Alexander Graham Bell, The Wright Brothers and many more did this powerful exercise

So do the exercise every night. You area going to go to sleep anyway and the exercise requires no additional time from your day. How great is that? You are amazing, so do things that help you discover how amazing you are.

The Secret to Success!!!

People are always looking to the “Secret” to success, that “Magic Pill” that will transform you into something great! The success you want can be anything; losing weight, growing your business, being a great partner or parent, anything. So, where is that “Magic Key” where do you find it and why is it being hidden from you? They say the greatest place to hide something is right under a person’s nose and that is exactly where the key to your success is. The key to your success, all your success is already inside of you. Every resource and skill you need to be successful; confidence, discipline, hard work and all the others, you are already using in some area of your life, you may not even be aware of it. Once you become aware of those skills in your mind, you can move them over to the other areas of your life to accomplish all you dreams.

Here is an example: I had a client once in her late forties. She came to me because she claimed that all her life she had no confidence or self-esteem. She had been telling herself this all her life. I noticed that when she was telling me her story of despair, she was sitting tall and erect, she was projecting her voice with power and force and her body language was very commanding. She was telling how little confidence she had, very confidently. I told her that and she didn’t want to believe me and she became even more forceful and more sure of her story of no confidence. I had her freeze and look at her body language, her voice and her words. It was the first time in her life that she made the connection to herself, that she really did have self confidence. Once she made that connection all she needed to do was move confidence she had in telling her story to the other areas of her life. She was able to do that and she is now a very successful salesperson and has taken back her power in all the areas of her life.

So how do you capture your powerful success skills you already have and apply them to the other areas of your life? The exercise below will show you how to do that.

Homework Exercise

“Circle of Power”

Close your eyes and remember at time in your life when you were successful doing something (it could be anything) or something that you know you do really well. Now explore it: see the things you see while doing it, hear the things  you hear while doing it and feel the things you feel while doing.

Now imagine a circle on the floor in front of you big enough so you can step in it.

Take all the skills, resources and feelings you are experiencing doing this thing you do well (successfully) and take all those things and put them into that circle. You will notice that the circle will change color and you will begin to feel its powerful energy of your success traits coming from it.

Now step into the circle and feel all of your success from that thing you do well. See that way again, hear that way again and feel that way again. You will notice how different you feel. Standing taller, more focused in thought and confident in your ability.

Every time you need your success, power, strength and confidence…Close your eyes imagine that circle in front of you again, it beautiful color and powerful energy and then step into it. You will feel that way again and experience your success….Because….You are Amazing!!!

“What Do You Say When You Talk to Yourself ?” 

All day long we talk to ourselves. Are you even aware of that and what you say to yourself? Most of us aren’t. Yet at least several hundreds times a day we say things, comment, compliment, criticize and sometimes put ourselves down. The conversations we have in our head are important. They help define who we are and what we are? They are an important part of creating the self-image we have about ourselves. Unfortunately, if you are not aware of your self talk then most of it is probably negative. You know what I am talking about, you are doing something and you make a mistake and the little voice in your mind says to you, “How could you be so stupid?”. This self talk and commentary we have is happening all day long and until you become aware of it, you can’t change it. We become what we say to ourselves all the time. So if we are saying negative things to ourselves, our lives most likely reflect that. Where did it come from? Many times it comes from our childhood, growing up. We hear things like; Your… Stupid…Dumb…To Fat…Ugly…Not Good Enough…Worthless…Unlovable…and there are many more. Our subconscious minds are very powerful and if you tell it something enough times, it will believe that it is true…even when it isn’t. When we hear those negative words enough times, we start acting that way and the world starts treating us that way. Fortunately, if we say great things about ourselves over and over, we believe that we are great and the world treats us that way. Positive or negative either one is and can become your reality.

How do we change our self talk? The first step is to become aware of it. You cannot change anything that you are not aware of. Being aware of who you are, what you are and what you think are the most powerful tools of change. Without them you are forever destined to live the current life you are living. Today’s Success Homework will allow you to become; awake and aware of your internal dialogue and then be able to change it. What should you be saying to yourself? Look at the picture in this article, “Strength” read the words surrounding it, those are great examples of what you should be saying to yourself, all day long, everyday. You are Amazing…accept that about yourself.

Your Success Homework

Every time you catch yourself saying something negative to yourself, freeze, stop what you are doing and repeat these words: CANCEL, CANCEL, CANCEL…and then replace your negative statement with a positive one. Here is an example: You make a mistake doing something and you say to yourself “Am I stupid”….Freeze…say: CANCEL, CANCEL, CANCEL…”I am learning new things everyday and getting wiser”. Does that sound simple, it is. At first you will not catch yourself that much because you are not that aware of your thoughts. Soon you will be aware and you will be “cancelling” yourself all day long. Eventually you negative self talk will subside and you will think more positively and you will be “cancelling” yourself  less and less.

“Fear is a Liar”

Fears, we all seem to have them, don’t we? Most of the fears we have aren’t real. They are silly movies we play in our minds over and over again, making them worse and worse. They are usually things that have already happened from our past that we wished we had done differently or things that haven’t happened yet, in the future that we make negative assumptions as to how they will turn out. If we focus to much thought and energy on these “silly lies” we tell ourselves, guess what, they become our reality. Another name for fear would be stress. If you really think about it, all our fears are stress induced and all of stress comes from our fears. Not a productive cycle is it?

Did you know that as human beings we are only born with two fears. The fear of loud noises and falling, that is it. Every other fear we have, is learned. Now some fears we learn are good. I think it is wise to fear running onto a crowded highway or jumping into an open fire. If someone is holding a gun to your head, you should be afraid but most of the fears we have are not real and sometime the get in the way of us accomplishing our goals and finding happiness and every other great opportunity in our lives. Many times we fear the things we want to have in our lives the most because they area different and unknown. Our greatest fear we have as human beings is the fear of the unknown or another words we fear “Change”. The great psychiatrist, Virginia Satir said, “Man’s greatest and highest need is not survival, it is familiarity”. Think about that. We will choose to continue with a bad habit even though we know it is bad for us and sometimes can even kill us ( Obesity,drug addicts and alcoholics for and example) even though we know the new habit will improve our lives. We are afraid and fear the unknown.

So, how do we overcome our fears and move forward in our lives?  The greatest thing you can do is be in the present moment, focusing all your attention and energy on what you are doing at the time. If you are doing this you can’t be thinking  about the past or the future which do not exists at this moment in time. How do you do that? The  homework exercise I am giving you today will help you be in the present moment and focus all your attention on what you are currently doing. The exercise takes about 1 minute to do, that is it! It can be done anywhere and I do it anytime I am going to do something important like speaking in front of a group, writing or coaching a client. You can do it to improving your studying capabilities or before you go to work. Use it anytime or place you choose.

Your Homework:

“The 9 Breath Exercise”

Find a quiet place (Do not do this while you are driving)

Close your eyes and breath in deeply through your nose (if you can’t breath through nose, your mouth is fine)

As you exhale out, let go of all your thoughts of things from your past (Repeat that 2 more times)

Now, breath in deeply

As you exhale out, let go of all your thoughts about things you have to do in the future (Repeat that 2 more times)

Now, breath in deeply

As you exhale out, focus all your attention, energy, thoughts and skills on what you want to accomplish now in this moment in time (Repeat 2 more times)

Open your eyes and Be Amazing!!!

You are Amazing!!!

That’s right your Amazing! It is important that you know that. In this column I will be helping you discover how amazing you area. You already possess inside of you everything you need to live an incredible life: accomplish all of your goals your dreams and visions. To find happiness, success, health, financial abundance and love. All these things exist inside of you now just waiting to be let out so you can live the life of your dreams. This is the vision I have for you and I think about it all the time, it gets me out of bed in the morning and it energizes my life. It is why I do what I do. The  purpose of this column is to take you through that journey. You will learn different skills and techniques that if you apply them to your life, it will change for the better and you will make your goals, dreams and your visions a reality.

My journey has been no different then yours. I grew up as the “Fat Kid” people teased me and called me names like; fatso, tubby fat boy, piggy and so many more. Those names hurt and they took their toll on me and I withdrew from the world. My social skills and my social life were developed by the refrigerator and the TV. More I was teased the more I withdrew and I buried myself in food. I used to find: love, comfort and acceptance. I would stuff myself trying to hide and then I would feel awful after. The more I ate the more I withdrew and the more I withdrew the more I ate and I this horrible cycle continued and I got heavier.

I remember in grade school in my gym class, every year we would do the “President’s Program on Physical Fitness” it was all week long and it consisted of things like push-ups, pull-ups, sit-ups and all different kinds of “ups” I wasn’t good at. The part I dread and hated the most was on one of the days they weighed us in. My gym teacher was particularly sadistic and he weighed us from the lightest to the heaviest kid. I was always the heaviest kid. At the end of the way in day he would yell out, “OK Schmaren and anyone else who is left”, there was never anybody else just me. Everybody would and cheer. I was the heaviest kid in my grade and it sucked.

Over the years I withdrew more until I could not stand the pain anymore. I gave up on myself, I quit and I did not want to live anymore. So one day I found as many pills as I could and put them in a paper cup. I put the cup on my bathroom counter and just stared at for a long time, then I looked at myself in the mirror and I saw, nothing. I was empty and I had nothing left in me. I took all the pills and tried to end my life.

Some how, I survived and it was the turning point in my life. By surviving  I realized that I was here for a reason and you know what, you are here for a reason. I began to work on myself. Changing my values and beliefs, the perceptions I had about myself. I used powerful techniques that I studied, learned and developed. I changed my life. I lost almost 180 pounds and I found happiness, love, health, success and more.

Whether you are trying to lose weight, find happiness, overcome other obstacles and challenges in your, increase your sales, grow your business or become a better athlete, in order to do these things you have to Change! Everyday in my talks and the coaching I do I help people Change. You can’t get want you want out of life unless you Change what you are doing.  Every article I write I will give you simple and easy homework to do that will start the process of change in your life.

Your Homework for Today:

Take a spiral notebook and start writing your goals, dreams and visions. There are no limits. Ask for what you want. It is important that you hand write them. Handwriting them makes a powerful impact on your mind. We believe what we write to be true. So start writing what you want.

Until next time….Be Amazing…You owe it to yourself.

Introducing “Segueway to Success”: an internet-based radio program dedicated to helping privately owned business people survive and thrive in the new-normal business climate.

Starting Wednesday October 17 business partners Tom Kuchan and Brent Hamachek, principals of the 13 year old consulting company Segueway, will be sharing our experiences and conclusions as to what has changed and what is on the horizon for the small and middle market business community.

In addition to our own experience, we will bring in a parade of guests who are entrepreneurs, business managers or service professionals who work with privately held companies to share their thoughts and ideas.

This program will not be a tired re-hashing of the “seven principles of this” or the “eight steps to that”. This program will be built on the premise that since the financial collapse in 2008, and with the additions of new policies, regulations, behaviors and leadership, the American economy has undergone fundamental changes that will not quickly or necessarily reverse simply because there is an uptick in economic performance.

Businesses that have survived have learned to do things a new way, a better way, a simpler way. They will not give up on newly found best practices just because their bank account gets a little bigger.

We will bring you guests who have managed their companies successfully, or not so successfully, over the past four years. We will ask them what they have learned and how their business has been permanently changed. We will ask service professionals and support professionals (accountants, lawyers, bankers and investors) how their relationships with their clients have changed and what their profession has experienced in terms of trying to be profitable in dealing with the privately owned business community.

Since the formation of Segueway in 2000, the company has worked hands-on in over forty different industries. Tom Kuchan has also worked extensively overseas, serving Daimler Benz Financial across five continents and opening up their middle- east region. Tom will bring a perspective to the program that will provide insight to listeners who might be wondering how business is done across oceans and offering suggestions for improving the listener’s overseas business possibilities.

Our first program will focus on getting us, Tom and Brent, introduced to the listening audience. We will share our experience both before and since the formation of Segueway and we will offer you some of our observations and opinions about what is going on in the world of business today. While we are both quite political in our private lives, we do not intend to be offering a partisan program. When we discuss political issues that might have impact on the business community or overall economy we will try to focus on anticipated outcomes and how businesses need to plan and adjust. That said, be prepared for an occasional political opinion from one of us to sneak through.

We are excited to get this underway. We have a very diverse set of business skills and talents that we have brought together as a bundled offering to the business clients of Segueway. We look forward to sharing all of our experiences, and those of our interesting guests, with our listeners on a weekly basis.

We thank you in advance for giving us a listen and spreading the word to others you know.
