Choose your Role Models well; Arnold Swarzenegger Part III
Role models are people you can look up to for ideas, encouragement and support. They are the people that have values that you aspire to have and appreciate.
Today let's examine our role model Arnold Swarzenegger in Part III;
Make rapid relentless progress!
Arnold grew, and grew, and grew! Within 2 or 3 years he was massive. He was achieving his goal. He had to overcome lots of resistance and challenges both inwardly and outwardly, but as he said: "I wanted that body and I didn't care what I had to go through to get it."
At 18, he was drafted into the army to do his National Service. Fittingly, he joined the tank corp!The Junior Mr Europe bodybuilding competition was soon to be held in Germany and Arnold was determined to compete despite being denied leave of absence by his C.O. He decided he must compete and he went AWOL! Sometimes in the pursuit of your goals, you must risk all.
Fortunately, Arnold's massive biceps won him 1st Prize and he returned to his barracks with trophy in hand. A week in solitary confinement was his punishment, but as word spread of his accomplishment, he was soon being feted as an example of Austrian heroism by his commanding officers.
He soon went on to win Mr Universe in London. From there his dream was taking him to America.
Reality check, please!
Arnold is often described as a very reality-focussed individual. He is not particularly concerned with "contemplating his navel"! He is not someone who wrestles with anxiety or inner "issues"!
Being honest is one of the most valuable qualities anyone can have. On arrival in America, Arnold was immediately in competition with the world's top bodybuilders. He came 2nd - a terrible blow to his image of himself as the best. But he took it on the chin and coolly assessed his weaknesses and devised a plan to overcome them.
This sharp ability to observe is a powerful tool for critical thinking and assessing others. Arnold would look closely at what successful people do and at what unsuccessful people do. This enabled him to discern the behavior patterns to avoid and the behaviors to focus on. This enabled him to forge ahead where others languished on a plateau (or in a rut).
Bodybuilding is a terrific metaphor for succeeding in life. The Greeks championed the idea of a healthy mind in a healthy body and were the first to establish set exercise routines to develop the physique. By exercising with progressively heavier weights, getting enough rest and eating well, you can build the size and strength of your muscles.
Arnold took the process of success that he got from bodybuilding and applied it to other areas in his life. In bodybuilding, there are big goals such as winning a major competition like the Mr Olympia; there are medium-term goals like reaching an ideal weight of 235 lbs with 6% body fat ratio; and there are hundreds of short-term mini-goals like turning up at the gym (!), doing 12 reps of squats with 200lbs or cutting cakes from your diet. There is a deliberate process of discipline in achieving these goals.
When you have any kind of success in your life, lift the template of that success up and apply it to other areas of your life in which you wish to succeed. If you have any experience of success, you can take that experience and replicate it elsewhere. And everyone has experienced success in their lives, even if you have to go back as far as learning to walk or talk or read.
"The meaning of life is not simply to exist, to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer," he says.
His motivating motto is "Stay Hungry!" That means don't get too comfortable. Success can deaden the senses and make you superstitious and think you have to do the same things over and over. Not so! You are alive and creative, and there are always new ideas and new levels of success to be gained.
You are a muscular minded genius! Put your thinking muscle to good use and trail blaze a path of glory!
Follow the footsteps of great individuals, it's that simple!
To your success!

Aristotle's idea of virtue ethics relies substantially on the effects role models have on people. Aristotle believes that we learn to be moral (virtuous) by modeling the behavior of moral people. Through continual modeling we become virtuous out of habit. Of course, people can learn both good and bad habits depending on the role models they have. Aristotle believed that it was the moral duty of every citizen to act as a good role model. This was especially true for people who were most likely to be in the public eye, since these people had so many eyes on them. Who are the role models in contemporary society? When asked, many celebrities (sports figures, actors, musicians) state that they don't want to be role models. Aristotle would argue that this is not a choice a person can make. Since these people are so prominent in our society they are role models and should take this responsibility seriously.

He came 2nd - a terrible blow to his image of himself as the best. But he took it on the chin and coolly assessed his weaknesses and devised a plan to overcome them.
"I was always honest about my weak points, this helped me grow. I think it's the key to success in everything: be honest; know where you are weak: admit it."In the pursuit of your goals, you must be prepared to make course adjustments. This requires honesty and the ability to see things as they are, not as you wish them to be. When you see something as it is, you are in a more powerful position to change it.
"When I see that I have certain backward attitudes, I reason them out and work to make my outlook more realistic."Being outwardly-focussed also enables you to be more aware of opportunity. Arnold is a legendary prankster, who is quick to take advantage of unwitting minds. He uses this "what's-really-going-on-radar" to psychologically outmanouvre his competitors, and ensure that he achieves his goal.
This sharp ability to observe is a powerful tool for critical thinking and assessing others. Arnold would look closely at what successful people do and at what unsuccessful people do. This enabled him to discern the behavior patterns to avoid and the behaviors to focus on. This enabled him to forge ahead where others languished on a plateau (or in a rut).
"Most of the people I observed couldn't make astonishing advances because they never had faith in themselves. They had a hazy picture of what they wanted to look like someday, but they doubted they could realize it. Ultimately they didn't put out the kind of effort I did because they didn't feel they had a chance to make it. And of course, starting with that premise, they didn't."The Template of Success!

"In two or three years, I had actually been able to change my body entirely. That told me something. If I had been able to change my body that much, I could also, through the same discipline and determination, change anything else I wanted. I could change my habits, my whole outlook on life."In learning about business, Arnold applied the bodybuilding-template to his studies. He was a millionaire long before he made his name in Hollywood. He applied the bodybuilding template to his acting career and gradually built up the size of the roles he was offered and the "clout" he wielded amongst the studios.
Stay hungry!
Arnold is a genius... As Pele is to soccer, Bruce Lee to kung fu, Elvis Presley to Rock & Roll, Arnold Schwarzenegger is to bodybuilding. While todays bodybuilders are even more massive and muscularly defined, none can yet surpass Arnold as the archetypal muscle man. He has set and achieved his goals with the unerring, unstoppable force and dedication that he exemplified playing the robot from the future, The Terminator.

Choose your Role Models well; Arnold Swarzenegger Part II
True role models are those who possess the qualities that we would like to have and those who have affected us in a way that makes us want to be better people. To advocate for ourselves and our goals and take leadership on the issues that we believe in. We often don't recognize our true role models until we have noticed our own personal growth and progress . . .
Here we go with Part II of Arnold Scharzenegger;
Fine-tune your blueprint!
Attack your goal from every angle. The clearer you can visualize the goal in your mind, the quicker you will achieve it. See it as though it is already real. Imagine that you have achieved it. What would you see? What would you hear? How would you be feeling? Use all your senses to make it as real and as exciting as possible. If you don't feel deliriously happy contemplating this goal, then maybe you should ask yourself why you are doing it, really? Either find more compelling reasons why you want to do this, or change the goal.
Stay positive!
Arnold discovered the power of the mind over the body. He noticed how emotional distractions and worry weakened him. Thinking about problems and worries during his training sessions robbed him of the strength he needed to workout.
He also knew what a detrimental affect others can have on your goals, often trying to squash them. Negative people often resist positive people, and they feel uncomfortable around them until either they pull the positive person down to their level or they catch the positivity and change themselves.
Arnold has always known and understood that principle. He always worked with the best people he could find or contact, saying: "Positive thinking can be contagious. Being surrounded by winners helps you develop into a winner."
Challenge your limits
Usually you do about 3-5 sets of an exercise for a particular body part. However the body can become used to this routine and fail to grow as dramatically as you require. Arnold resorted to shock tactics to bomb his muscles and force them to grow.
Each week, he would choose an exercise, and focus an entire workout on that exercise alone. Instead of 5 sets, he might do 55 sets or just keep going until he couldn't do another thing. Frequently, he would train with a like-minded partner and have little competitions to motivate himself to do better. They would challenge each other to do more reps with heavier and heavier weights.
Apply this shock principle to your own goals. Let's say your goal is to become a public speaker on the seminar circuit. But you aren't very good at speaking. Maybe you have given 1 or 2 talks in the last few months.
If you want to get good at talking you are going to have to up the ante. Schedule a talk a day for a month, or three talks a day for a week. Grab your soapbox and go and stand in the city park if you have to. Get out there and talk! The harder it is and the more you do, the quicker you will become comfortable and an accomplished speaker.
Anthony Robbins did this when he started his speaking career; he would be giving talks in the morning to the Business Bureau, talk in the afternoon to the Womens' Circle and then be giving a talk in the evening elsewhere -- and he did that week after week, month after month. The end result being he is one of the most fluent, entertaining, informative and successful speakers in the world.
Keep track of this Blog, PartIII will reveil even more secrets about this fenomenal personality.
Always keep in mind that your life is heading in the direction that you are looking at.
What are you looking at today?
If you don't know, look around in your life today and see what it is that you attracted.
Beware what you are focusing on!
Enjoy your weekend!

"I had this fixed idea of growing a body like Reg Park's. The model was there in my mind; I only had to grow enough to fill it. My dreams went beyond a spectacular body. Once I had that, I knew what it would do for me. I'd get into the movies. I'd create an empire."Keep at your goal visualization. Play with it every day like a dog with a bone; keep chewing that sucker until you really get the taste of it. Keep sharpening the details, getting it into crystal focus. Adjust it until it sounds just right. Work it until it feels spot-on! The more real it seems inwardly, the more real it will become outwardly (unless, of course, you are freaking nuts!). Like a cartographer: you are making a map, the details have to be there. Like an architect designing a house, you need to put in everything required to build that dream home.
Stay positive!

"I remember certain people trying to put negative thoughts into my mind, trying to persuade me to slow down. But I had found the thing to which I wanted to devote my total energies and there was no stopping me."Make sure you develop that kind of thick-skinned positivity! Family members can often be the greatest threat to our dreams. Without alienating them, you can be persistent in your purpose and goal. It is often advisable to keep goals secret, especially in the early stages. Get around those who can help you achieve your goal. Hang out with your mentors. Success breeds success.

Choose your Role Models well; Arnold Swarzenegger Part I
Role models can be a powerful force for learning and realizing your potential. They’re not only important for your career, but for achieving fulfillment in everything you do. You ought to have role models in every stage and dynamic of your life. (Check out the 8 Dynamics of Life (r) -Leo Stroobants-)
Researchers have concluded that children who have good role models learn to be motivated self-learners. Einstein said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” By introducing children to role models for all aspects of their lives, you are nurturing their imagination.
“Role models are important throughout every stage of your life,” says Mick Quinn, former PM, IT developer, headhunter and most recently author of Power and Grace, the Wisdom of Awakening. “If you’re lucky, there are role models from infancy on.”
PART I; Arnold Swarzenegger
The Terminator Goal-Setting Strategy
Here's a man, a goliath of a man, who started life in some Austrian backwater and dreamed massive dreams. He was a million miles from the Hollywood he would one day claim as his own. But, as a mere 15 year old, he announced his dream and he went on to achieve it.
"I want to be the best built man in the world. Then I want to go to America and be in movies. I want
to be an actor."
to be an actor."
Click with your passion!
We are traveling back in time, to a sleepy Alpine village called Graz. Here Arnold Schwarzenegger sculpted his future as unerringly as he went about sculpting his body.
He's 15 years old and his soccer team are visiting a gym. Arnold looks around at the powerful muscular bodies of the men working out there and something clicks deep inside him. He suddenly realizes at a deep inner level that this is what he wants to do. He wants to feel strong and powerful like a mighty warrior or a fearsome beast. His mind lights up with a passion to do this.
Have you clicked with what you want to do and achieve?"I knew I was going to be a bodybuilder.
It wasn't simply that either. I would be the best bodybuilder in the world, the greatest,
the best-built man."
Dream BIG!
Is your dream big enough to excite you and stir you to action? Have you put your ego into it? Can you go a little wild and really stretch the bounds of what you think is possible for you? You have to think BIG, like Arnold, who literally "dreamed about being gigantic".
Soak up your subject!
Arnold began to work-out with unwavering determination and enthusiasm. He asked questions of the older bodybuilders in the gym. He subscribed to magazines. He found out more and more about bodybuilding and applied it to his training. He made rapid progress because he worked so hard.
Whatever your goal is, are you building up your knowledge base? Are you letting your obsession with it grow and grow so that you seek out and continuously find new references and knowledge that relate to and support the achievement of your goal? Are you giving it your all? When you focus on something and want it, your RAS (random activating system) in your mind becomes hyper sensitive to anything and everything that relates to your interest."I wanted more, I demanded
more of myself."
s
Find someone you can emulate!
Working out with weights is hard and sometimes relentless as you have to keep doing it day after day, week after week. You need inspiration to keep you going when it gets tough. Arnold had his methods.
"I kept my batteries charged with the adventure movies of Steve Reeves, Mark Forrest, Brad Harris, Gordon Mitchell and Reg Park."Seeing these heroic figures on the screen fueled his desire to be like them. He soon fixated on Reg Park, a massive man whose Herculean physique represented the ideal for Arnold. He had found a role model.
From that point on, his life was "utterly dominated by Reg Park. His image was my ideal. It was fixed indelibly in my mind."
Arnold found out everything he could about Reg Park, buying all the magazines that published Park's training programs. He learned what he ate, how he lived, and how he did his workouts. This obsession fueled his work-outs and he used his role model like a blueprint. If he did exactly what Reg Park did, he would get the same results.
"The more I focused in on this image and worked and grew, the more I saw it was real and possible for me to be like him."Who is your mentor or role model? Who has already achieved the goal that you have set yourself? Who can you imitate? Whose mime can you catch? Find someone in your field of interest who has been successful and that you greatly admire and want to emulate; study them; find out all you can about them: live them; breathe them. There are heroes is every field of human endeavor.
I had the pleasure of meeting him once and his impression and charisma never left me.
Whenever my workout routine is in a dip, I just watch Arnold in action and I got inspired again.
This is part one of this blog about this great role-model.
Keep reading, Part II will follow soon,...
To your success!

Effortless Abundance
Gratitude & Concentration = Effortless Abundance
Start with buying a very cheap notepad, it might just be a tremendous investment. Start writing down EVERY SINGLE DAY all the things that your are grateful and thankful for.
Then you make a list of all the things that you would like, all of your WANTS! Now start changing that list into HAVES!
As your subconscious mind associates "thank you" for recieving or HAVING something, you can now combine the two to create abundance effortlessly.
As you continue to write down what you are thankful for, you are telling your subconscious that you ARE already abundant and since like attract like, more of that thing (success, abundance, love, happiness, etc) will come into your life.
Read carefully what I'm about to share with you next!
Pay it forward, meaning; Start being thankful for all things you want -but you do not have yet- in ADVANCE! With the full knowledge that by telling your subconscious mind "thank you" as if you already have it, it will quickly come into your outer reality.
Get it? Got it? Now, DO IT and attract Effortless Abundance!
To your wealth!

10 Pointers to make more MONEY!
Money on itself has no value. It is a note that represents a trading value.
Steve Pavlina ones described money as such; "The money you earn is society’s way of saying: “In exchange for your valued contribution, you are hereby granted the right to extract equivalent value from society at a time of your choosing.”
So we can conclude that the amount of money that you earn is proportional to the amount of value you are able to contribute to society!
How can you make more money than? By contributing more value to society!
So, is the one who determines the value of your contribution the society, and not you?
Let's listen to what Steve Pavlina says;
"Your income depends on the social value of your work, not the personal value. Personal value is whatever you say it is. Social value, however, is determined by social consensus."
That way the key principle becomes; To make more money, you need to contribute more social value!
Here are some pointers to increase your ability to make more money by contributing more social value;
1. Recognize your personal strenghts and values;
First of all, you should identify your personal values and strenghts. What are you naturally good at? Working on your strengths will give you much more in return than working on your weaknesses.
So it’s essential that you identify your strengths.
2. Do your deliberate practice
Improve your skills. You can do this by deliberate practice. Here is the best definition I could find;
Deliberate practice refers to a form of training that consists of focused, grueling, repetitive practice in which the subject continuously monitors his or her performance, and subsequently corrects, experiments, and reacts to immediate and constant feedback, with the aim of steady and consistent improvement.
It is generally accepted that this form of training calls for approximately 10,000 hours of concentrated effort if one is to achieve the optimum level of expertise.
Take at least 1 to 2 hours a day for your deliberate practice. It's like a basketball player that adds an hour a day to his normal routine in order to practice the most difficult shots. His goal is to reach a world class level. You can do the same!
Define your best skills and find your niche!
3. Fill up your toolbox
Aside from the skills you choose for your deliberate practice, you need to have other skills in your toolbox. These extra skills complement your main skills and help you provide something unique. You don’t have to be very good at them, but you should be good enough.
Write down a list of 4 to 5 extra skills, and invest some time to master them.
4. Find you unique value
Everyone of us is unique and we all have our own unique set of values. We place them in an order of importance and live by that hierarchy.What value can you contribute to the world that others can’t? Answering this question isn’t easy but it will help you differentiate yourself.
Your action signal than becomes; Take the time to find your unique values. (When was NOW a good time to start doing so?)
5. Become a Master Connector
Expand and work your network. It is not always important WHAT you know, but WHO you know! Your network is essential in your quest for riches.
First of all because it helps you find demand. It will help you connect with those people you need to fill your voids. Working on your network will eventually start offering more opportunities and it will help you find the supply that you were looking for! You will be able to find the right person (or persons) whose skills complement yours.
The best way to enlarge your network is to help them help you! Pay it forward and start helping the people in your network. Pretty soon they will do the same for you!
Get on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and get connected!
6. What is your personal brand?
After finding your unique value proposition, you need to get the message out to your target audience. If people don’t know you then they won’t come for you! For that reason, you need to build your personal brand. By building your personal brand, people know what they can expect from you so they will come to you when they need it.
Get your own website, start your own Blog, write down a one-liner about yourself and get started!
7. Set your radar on recognizing opportunities
Most of us run around blindfolded. Opportunities are not knocking on your door, they are literally tearing your door down! Become a "Lucky Luke" and start attracting those golden egg opportunities. Opportunities often come in unexpected ways. You need to open your eyes and see what is around you.
"Unlucky people miss chance opportunities because they’re too busy looking for something else. Lucky people see what is there rather than just what they’re looking for."
Lucky and rich people keeps their eyes and ears open for things that other people do not see.
Like my friend Moise keeps telling me; Watch the trends! On the other side you can observe how people do things and what kinds of particular problems they have. (Like everybody wants to get out this "crisis" and wants to make money?)
Be hungry for ideas and surround yourself with creativity!
8. Always keep one eye on the end consumer
You must become a customer-oriented solution provider! Always, always (did I already said always?) keep customer satisfaction in the back of your mind. For every need you can find a bunch of links towards all your skills, unique skills and extra skills who are inside your toolbox. Create solutions for those needs and...bingo!
Your solution should be customer-oriented and satisfy the customer. If the customer is satisfied, she may spread the word about you.
9. Don't start form scratch
One of the best ways to provide more value is by building on the value you already provide. This is a smarter approach than starting from scratch because you can already leverage what you have. Think in questions like; What extensions can I add, What extra services can I surplus, What untapped opportunities did I miss, What other clients can I reach for, What associations can I make, What alterations can I make, What can I add?
It might take some more time, but I definitely recognized that a step-by-step approach is must better than the fast-track methods.
10. Always keep your other one eye on your goal
Don't get side-tracked. Ones you determined what it is that you exactly want to create, what kind of business you want to endeavor and how much money you want to make, stick to it and go for it. Don't forget to write out all your emotional drives as to why you want to make all that money and make sure that your goals are worthwhile and fulfilling. And never forget to have fun during the entire process. Instead of trying to achieve your goals in order to have fun, try to happily achieve those goals!
Get geared up and get moving!
