HAUNTING WORDS

At the end of an interesting week, my words of the other day come back to haunt me. The virus has left it's mark on my face as well as my ability to physically keep up with my minds desire to work non stop. As a result the nerves in my face that inflamed are still pretty irritated ...but I hasten to say not catching.

Next week I will have to take the foot from the pedal to gather my resources, so I will drop back from blogging for a few days possibly. But for the moment a summary of the week is in order.

The last two weeks have required a hard focus on developing the method of delivery to Market as well as testing the practical  application of the seven conversations of success by a range of age groups with varying levels of ability. Taking 19-21 year olds to networking events to approach people twice their age to talk about their lifestyle goals is a big ask, but none the less a necessary one to refine the marketing. Tuesday was a hard evening simply because success hung in the balance, but by the end of the evening with a little training a resounding success was the result. So that in itself proves the formula that anyone regardless of their age or experience can become a millionaire with the simplest, easiest of applications. But, as always the human race suffers the conditioning to self implode and blame everyone but themselves. The real problem has always been the success we can have in influencing people to be not so self defeating.

Alas self defeatists won the human race this week whilst the project won the necessary hard fought steps to progress. I thought the creative process had stopped at the end of June but surprise surprise when you're in the field you have to adjust to suit the market...not from a product usability point of view, but a sales process need. 

Firstly, Marketing will come through selling  books and including a success seminar in the price. Secondly the 24 week course will now be removed and replaced with a four week course in influence as it wasnt valued at all within the £100 by prospective clients, and will go back to the  price tag it had before this project in its full form. The reframe/ restructure six-month success coaching package will be again available.

This still means the game is a stand alone structure, and the initial fee of £100 to play the game is well within anyones price range with a  four week course to prepare for the first seven week section on influence.

Sitting with Rose reminiscing the origins of our meeting, it was interesting  to discuss the first crash test dummy exercise I ran way back in February to analyse success. Out of 1000 people who originally looked at the project, 100 that applied saying how committed to not crashing out and staying the course whatever they were faced with...Rose is the one in a thousand that made it through the hurdles and I have to say she has really come out of herself. So what makes her different... Commitment, consistency and contacts...she is both the former and wants to make more of the latter ...this is success and frankly no one has stayed the course like her.

If I look back at my original posts, I said right at the beginning 95% of people can't see opportunity, and 95% of those who can fail to pick it up. So if I count a couple of others whoa re still doing the coheres although not very active... My prediction was about spot on. The goal of this project was always to reverse the trend.

However it is amazing just how difficult a task this is, as people generally cannot see beyond their own limitations, so bringing the project within this circle of limited success is hard to do. Listening to Rose's insights into people she has met on the journey is always an eye opener to just how negative and destructive people are.....
