The 7 Factors of Achievement
Achievement is Like Archery
Before we can aim our arrows, we must have targets. Before we can shoot arrows, we must have the bow! Our present levels of achievement are in direct correlation to the goals we set for our life and the projectiles we put out into the world to attract success to ourself.
Achievement looks different to different people.
You may be on a quest to attract wealth, desiring success in your work, business and personal relationships.
You may be a teacher, trainer or spiritual leader seeking to enhance your leadership role.
Perhaps you are a parent, professional carer or counselor desiring powerful interpersonal skills.
You may work or live in highly stressful or tragic circumstances, suffering a loss, incarceration or illness and would simply like access to peace of mind and tranquility.
An Achiever is a person who seeks to be the very best they can be and the Seven Factors of Achievement was created for such people.
The Seven Factors of Achievement is a process of self-discovery and the understanding of what it takes to develop powerful relationships with yourself and other people ... the "juice" of achievement. The Seven Factors also provides powerful tools to establish focused achievement targets and ways to upgrade your present levels of personal magnetism.
It also introduces an elementary way of thinking and viewing your world.
The Journal of Ideas
All great achievers use a journal as a tool of success and throughout this program I shall call upon you to journal your thoughts and ideas into your preferred note taking pad or device, using pen, thumbs or voice.
Journals act as thought transference for good and bad thoughts, making way for inspiration.
Make it your first success habit to spend 15-30 minutes each day with your journal to document your ideas and challenges. Carry your journal with you at all times ready for inspiration and feelings when they arise.
You will also be able to refer to your journal as we progress through this program, to witness just how powerful the Seven Factors of Achievement can be in your life.
No Charge for This Online Program
There is positively no charge for participating in the online version of 7 Factors and there will be no unexpected requests at the end of the program. It's great to get a group of friends to do together. You will come to understand, as we progress, why I share the Seven Factors of Achievement freely and why you are also free to share this material non-commercially with anybody you feel could also benefit from this knowledge.
Important Consideration:
Are you under the care of a Professional Mental Health Practitioner?
Conducting the 7 Factors Program Exercises will encourage you to visit your past, therefore feeling and emotions could be heightened and may produce anxiety. It is recommended that you check in with your practitioner to gain their agreement, support and guidance prior to and while conducting the program if necessary.
Journal Time
The Starting Point Questions
Before you commence, to gain maximum benefit from participating in the Seven Factors of Achievement, firstly answer the following four questions (without rushing) and journal your replies.
The more time you put into this section, the more powerful the end result will be.
Question 1.
List 5 major goals that you would like to achieve in your life.
Make these "tangible" and "realistic" achievement goals - e.g. if you desire an amount of money, state how much you desire, what for and by when. If you desire a relationship, detail the characteristics of that relationship i.e. with ideally who, why and by when. If you desire to modify parts of yourself or your life, quantify these traits clearly, what will the outcome be to your life should these goals be achieved and a give a preferred time frame.
Question 2.
List obstacles you feel are holding you back from achieving your goals right now.
Document what you feel the barriers are that stand between you and your desires right now. e.g. you may believe you do not have the right knowledge or skills, you might be afraid of certain consequences or perhaps you feel that you are restricted by a relationship, illness or finances. Document your obstacles in as much detail as you can.
Question 3.
Who are you? Use a mirror for this exercise if one is available.
Journal in as much detail who you believe you are ... include the various roles that you play in your life now. Perhaps you are employed, in business, parenting, or in partnership, who do you feel you are to these people and what are they to you? What personalities, skills and abilities do you have that you are pleased with? Do you think you are attractive? Write down why or why not. What is important to you? What are your values .. and what would you change about yourself and your life if it was possible?
Question 4.
What and/or who makes you angry, sad, happy, ecstatic or afraid?
Go back into your memory as far back in your lifes memory as you can and track all the people and events that come to mind, right up until now, that still bring up emotions, both good and bad, when you think about them.
Document the names and situations that still makes you feel angry, sad, happy, ecstatic or afraid.
Thank you for answering the above questions, let us now proceed to the First Factor of Achievement - COMPLETION
Every success!
