:: KUREKS MONTHLY SUCCESS STRATEGY

The 5 Steps to Achieving Your Goals 1. Know where you are going! Confucius says, "the person who aims at nothing is sure to hit it." You need to actually sit down and write out what it is that you want in the different areas of your life. You also need to be very specific in describing those goals. If you don’t know exactly what you want, how are you going to go get it? If you aren’t specific with your goals it is like going into a shooting range with a pistol in your hands. Someone puts a blindfold over your eyes, spins you around and then tells you to shoot. You will hit something and it probably won’t be what you wanted to hit. It’s hard to hit the target when you don’t know where the target is. Imagine playing football without goal lines? You have a bunch of people running around with a ball and no one knows how to score any points. One of the best ways that I have found to discover your goals is to start with a blank sheet of paper and on the top of it write the sentence: "Having no limitations in my life I have. . ." Now you will notice that it says, "I have" instead of "I will" or "I might". Write your goals in the present tense as though they are already in your life today. Then start to write for the next 15 minutes with out stopping. It is called "flow writing". "Flow writing" is where you just write without spending time thinking about what you are going to write. You just get your hand moving and let what ever comes out to come out. This is how you get your subconscious mind to relax and release your dreams onto the paper. Remember that you have no limitations so write what ever you want, without rationalizing if you can actually have it or not! Rationalizing means that you are just 'rationing out lies to yourself'. Understand that in life most people wish really big but expect very little and in life you get what you expect. So raise your standards about what you expect from yourself. After you write your goals, read your goals every day! Note: Make sure that you are saying what you want in your life not what you don’t want. If you focus on what you don’t want you will get more of it. 2. Know "why" you want it The purpose for why you want your goal is more powerful than the goal itself. It is your purpose for wanting the goal that creates the burning desire inside you, to then go have it in your life. For example, you actually don’t want a lot of money. Now I can hear a few of you saying, "Kurek, you are wrong on that one". In truth you really don’t want a lot of money. What you do want is all of the things and experiences that you get with being a multimillionaire. You want the power to travel to places in first class, the nice cars, beautiful houses and most of all the freedom that comes with being wealthy. The wealthier that you are, the more choices that you have in life. The more choices the more freedom that you have. The freedom to do what you want, when you want to do it and if you want to do it. With wealth comes the freedom to spend more time with your family and the people that you care about. It’s your purpose for wanting what you want that creates the driving force in you to make it a reality in your life. The stronger the purpose the more power you have in you to go get it. When you have a strong enough "why" you want it, the "how" to get it will show up. So after writing out your goal, write out your purpose for wanting that goal in your life. Describe your purpose with lots of emotion and with passion. Your emotions are the turbo chargers of your thought. 3. Navigate your course Create a plan of action that will take you in the direction of your goals. Don’t worry that you don’t know the whole course of action just yet. When you want the energy to do the thing, you have to do the thing. By starting to take some action towards your goals you will discover new actions to take along the way. One action will reveal additional actions that you will need to take. When you start getting hunches and intuitions, listen to them and take those actions that they are giving you. Your hunches and intuitions are your subconscious mind telling your conscious mind what actions to take. So take them. 4. Take the necessary action Notice that I didn’t say "take action". Just taking random action is not enough. You need to be willing to do what ever it takes (That always means with integrity). Take the necessary action. The people who have the most amounts of results in life are the people who are willing to do more than most are willing to do. The people who have the results in their lives that you don’t have in yours are the people who are taking actions that you are not taking just yet. When you take those actions you too will have those results. It is that easy! 5. Notice your results and adjust your course to accommodate Have you ever been on a sailboat? How does a sailboat get to where it is going? Does the sailboat sail straight to where it is going? The answer to the last question is "no". A sailboat is always zig-zagging back and forth to arrive at its destination. So in reality most of it’s journey it is off course. And if you are a sailor you don’t panic because it’s off course. You notice how much off course you are and then you just adjust the course to get back on course The 2 key points that you need to know in order to get where you are going is to know where you are and to know where you are going. Then notice any adjustments that you need to make and then make them. Oh yeah, one more thing! Make sure you enjoy your journey. Life is not about having your goals in your life, it’s about making sure that you are always enjoying your journey! Have a most outstanding day! Kurek

Smashing the Poor Barrier! By Phil Jones - Entrepreneur, Author & Self Made Millionaire Four years ago when I was slaving for 50 hours a week to make a living, I thought the only barrier that was stopping me from being a rich wealthy property investor was my lack of knowledge on property (The area I knew could change my fortunes). So I read everything I could, attended every seminar I could and scoured the world learning from some of our times greatest wealth creation teachers. Thinking I could educate my way to wealth. What I didn’t realise was… the thing that was holding me back from the riches and wealth I deserved wasn’t the education! Even though my mind told me it was! You see if education unlocked wealth why isn’t everyone that’s read a few good property investment books a millionaire? Why isn’t everyone that attends a (good) property seminar (there are so many bad ones out their) a millionaire? Why aren’t all the educated University graduates of finance and economics… property millionaires? In our society we have some very educated property investors that are very poor! Now don’t get me wrong: a thirst for a solid knowledge of property investing is fundamentally important to every investor's success! But what I didn’t realise and many others still don’t is that… Its not our knowledge that stops us from being Rich, ITS US THAT STOPS US! Our Mind Lies to Us or should I say, we Lie to Us We tell ourselves lies like… If I read a couple more books then I’ll start investing After this seminar I’ll just wait a couple of months to make sure I’m doing the right thing When I get x dollars in the bank then I’ll start Or I’ll do a couple of investment deals but aren’t ready to take on major debt for more deals yet We are our own biggest enemy! We limit ourselves by putting barriers in our own way and then we wonder why we don’t jump over them. Most barriers would never be their unless we put them their in the first place! The Biggest Lie of All! The biggest lie we tell ourselves is… I don’t have all the answers so I’ll just read a couple more books and go to a couple more seminars and when I know everything then I’ll get started. Guess what, there isn’t a person on the planet that has ALL THE ANSWERS! If this is your criteria for starting investing – you will never start! The Power of Emotional Intelligence My life changed massively in 3 years, rocketing from Poor to Rich because I came to understand the power of my own Emotional Intelligence and how this affected the decisions I made. What is Emotional Intelligence you ask? It’s the spark that can light the flame to the rocket that can propel you to where ever you want to go. Rocket Body = Education Rocket Fuel = Action Igniter of Rocket Fuel = Emotional Intelligence IMPORTANT: The problem is most people don’t know about their own Emotional Intelligence so their rocket sits patiently on the launch pad, Fuelled Up and ready to go. But it never really lifts off and they never really reap the massive riches they deserve because they haven’t ignited the Fuel with a real understanding of their own Emotional Intelligence. Put simply: Emotional Intelligence is our ability to control our emotions and be passionate about life with us controlling our emotions rather than them controlling us. The moment we let emotion control an investing decision is the moment we make a BAD decision. Bad Investing Decisions Why do educated investors sometimes make BAD investing decisions? Lack of Emotional Intelligence! Often investors know they shouldn’t get into an investment, but they do the deal anyway because they fell in love with the style of the house. When I learnt this concept it transformed by life! I achieved massive success because I refused to let fear and self-limiting barriers in front of me and I refused to let any of my investing decisions be even remotely influenced by emotion. The Secret of Your Investing Success True power is achieved when you have mastery over yourself, and your mind, emotions and actions are harnessed in one single direction. The sole reason David Hows and I established the Richmastery Property Academy was to create one course that delivered all three investing keys to participants at the same place at the same time! The Academy provides a wholestic (wholestic – because the whole solution is provided) learning experience by integrating Education, Action & Emotional Intelligence into a powerful 3 day event that delivers a cohesive education that produces radical outcomes and changes lives. We recently brought Kurek to the Academy for the sole reason that I believe he is a master in teaching people how to empower their lives by harnessing the potential of your own Emotional Intelligence. Plan to ignite your rocket and really start going places, develop your Emotional Intelligence and live life to the max! Successful Investing! Phil Jones
