How Do You Look At Life?

• We cant change people, places and events
• We can change ourselves
• We can attract what we focus on into our lives
  and achieve extraordinary results
• We are responsible for our own attitudes, habits
  and beliefs and therefore we are quite capable
  of changing them

  or attract to you

• Attractive people attract those who want what
  they have
• Attraction is success without striving
• Negative thinking doubt interferes with the
  outcome

15
Doubts Come From Fear

• Fear is the biggest stumbling block to change
• Embrace fear as a wake-up call
• What would you do if you werent afraid?
• What would you do if money were no object?

  go (maybe its not supposed to happen!)

• Pay attention when you do feel good
• Avoid the it cant last syndrome

19
Become Radically Grateful

• The more grateful you are the happier you will
  become
• Learn to look behind what outwardly feels so
  painful
• Begin to see everyone, even your competitors or
  your past employer as giving you a gift to grow
• Take the time and youll find the deeper meaning
  in whats happening to you

  become a master

  others

Creating Your Vision of Success At Work and in
Life
22
The Trouble With Visions

• We think about needs and wants not true desires
• Its hard to be brutally honest with yourself
• Truth or consequences
• Its not a strategic business plan dont create
  the steps
• Visions take time and effort
• Fear usually clouds the picture

23
The Rosenberg Groups Rules

• Identify the pain in your life today
• Create a picture of life without the pain
• Visualize everything you desire in your career
  and your life
• Write it down as if its happening now
• Take a gut check
• Keep it close but come back to the present

24
Begin to Enjoy the Process

• Identify the gaps
• Internalize the vision
• Believe it will happen so you can focus on today

25
From Fish!

• The danger is that if our quest for ideal work
  focuses us on the future we will miss the
  amazingly wonderful life that is available today,
  in this moment

26
The Keys to Mastering Change

• Take stock of today
• Commit to changing old behavior, attitudes and
  beliefs take a risk
• Create your vision(s) for tomorrow
• Get support friends, colleagues, mentor or
  coach

27
Remember

• You cant change whats happened, you can only
  change yourself
• Digging deep to find your true vision is
  difficult but unbelievably rewarding
• As you begin to believe you will attract what you
  truly desire
• Mastering change will show immediate results
