Another big thing holding me down is the fact that I am 20 and the people my age that I know are interested in clubs and video games and such and so it’s hard to find someone to share both ideas and influential content (such as your great vids, Veit) with, while the older crowd that is influential and great to be around judges the book by its cover (or, in my case, as a book of a very early edition). Looking forward to overcoming this with positive beliefs in myself.

Also looking forward to future content here. Thank you so much for this!

What a mean guy!
Looking over my shoulder like that and then BROADCASTING all of my faults!

Nailed me, )
Like that old commercial where the guy gets slapped,….Thanks, I needed that!

Looking forward to more and to see what this is leading up to………and of course how much!

See-Ya

I’m thinking of setting something up where you can make super-easy “push-button” money (straight into paypal account, no waiting for 60 days to finally get paid). I personally hate the “push-button” sales-letters (obviously, it’s all lemon-squeeze), but it’ll be super-fast results. And then I’ll “make” you invest it in my course;-)

Spot on mate, and very well put too, I “Schenk” you from the bottom of my empty wallet!

My Goal is still $350 a day, but just reaching $350 a month would be a great start.

I shouldn’t follow this any further but actually I do need to change what I’m doing so I’ll take a look.

I spent years stuck in the bathroom at work listening to my recorded goal setting sessions, and — surprise, surprise — it didn’t work either.
Check out the first bunch of videos (just go to the home-page) and you’ll quickly see why.
(I’ve had a multi-millionaire client who “felt not much passion for anything”, and after going through BKP, he very much had that passion for making a few more $1M…;-)

Regarding the WF … well, outside the WF, feel free to share the love (within the WF, I want to keep it within the warroom)

Cheers

Banning from the Warrior Forum? I thought exactly the same as you.
Excellent presentation.
The goal setting ‘rituals’ I’ve been doing for years.
They do not work for me. That is my problem ok!

The reason my goals do not work is simple, I do not feel much passion for anything and therefore it is very difficult to be ‘specific’ with my goals.

btw You stated in the WF not to share the link. Is that the case?

Thanks

If you’re diddle daddling it can mean 2 things:

- either you don’t have a clear objective at all what you’d like to achieve … and hence anything and everything seems like a good way of getting to where you *vaguely* want to get or of course
- your HAAMS really doesn’t want you to move towards those goals, because they might just mean horribly outcomes like “success”, or “failure” or having to “present in front of people”, all that kind of stuff that’s really life-threatening.

So, yes you have a “bad” habit, but it’s not really “bad”, because it actually stops you from confronting some potentially painful/harmful issues (see above). It’s just not conducive to you achieving your *long-term* goals.

Lack of will-power? Forget about it!

Will-power is pretty much useless when it comes to this kind of thing. Will-power is based in your “intellectual” part of the brain, and guess what? That’s the last part that gets asked when trouble is on the horizon!

So, not to worry, do the exercises in BKP, calm down the HAAMS and those shifts will come (I had one guy go through the program who then came back to me one day and said “Veit, you won’t believe it, I’ve started using To-do lists, and they’re actually useful”…)

when you start digging you’ll quickly find that many of our behaviours are based on some underlying belief, that if you then keep looking in that area is based on yet another deeper seated belief.

This is partly because as you’re digging and getting comfortable with the digging process, your HAAMS is gradually allowing you to look in certain areas. Another reason is of course that if you don’t know what to look for, it’s pretty much impossible to see “the thing”, even when it’s staring you in the face.

Ultimately, it doesn’t really matter how you label the reason for your behaviour (e.g. “reluctance to being an expert” leading to not giving presentations), the most important part is developing the awareness of what’s going on a physical level (you’re simply not giving presentation and it’s costing you at some level, because it is required of your job), then gradually the awareness of what’s going on at an emotional level (and figuring out what the real anxieties are) and finally the awareness of what’s going on at the intellectual level, i.e. what beliefs you hold to be “100%” true (like the earth being flat not that long ago). Which is of course exactly what we do in the BareKnuckleProductivity program.

Personally, I’ve rejected wearing a suit for a long time, and used all kinds of perfectly logical reasons why… Until I figured out what the real underlying reason was for my belief system (broadly speaking it was something along these lines: if I wear a suit, it’s a symbol of “professionalism” and “competence”, so people expect me to be “professional” and “competent”.

Now, if I make a mistake, then people will see me as “unprofessional” and “incompetent” (because my underlying 100% true belief, don’t even ask me where that came from was: “professionals don’t make mistakes and anyone who makes a mistake is not professional”).

Therefore, from deep, deep down, because I did not want to be seen as unprofessional and incompetent, my physical behavior was all geared towards making sure that never happens. And one way of ensuring this was not to wear a suit. That way I could not fail in that area!

It’s only after going through the processes in BKP, that I’ve now challenged that belief that “making mistakes means you will never be seen as a competent professional” and I’m ok with making mistakes (or darn it, even swearing on camera). And: feeling very comfortable wearing a suit. Who would’ve thought it?
