Right now everybody is thinking about their New Year’s resolutions. 

A New Year’s resolution is just a goal or set of goals that you set at the beginning of the new year. If setting resolutions doesn't work, can you make your goals work?  

Cliff says to follow this 4-step plan to achieve your goals:

1. Believe it’s possible.
2. Write it down.
3. Tells others about it.
4. Work the plan as it become available to you.

Do you have a belief system problem?  A belief is a thought that we feel certain is true.

Want, need or should -will get you in a place where you will set a goal and see a result from it, but not long term. 

Cliff teaches the T-E-A-R formula. 

T- Thoughts 

E- Emotions

A- Actions

R- Result

You can change your beliefs, even if you have believed something is true from childhood.

Never give up on your goals.

We don't get to decide when things happen in our lives, like obstacles. We do get to choose what we do with those obstacles and what we make out of them. Perhaps these obstacles are the path to what you really want.

In 1996, for the first and only time in my entire life – I was fired from a job. I had been recruited by Citadel Broadcasting to move to Salt Lake City and do the morning show. I moved my little family from Knoxville TN to Utah. We fell in love with Utah and her people.  And then, three months after I started, I was fired. All I could think, as I looked at my wife’s tear-stained face, was, “What have I done?”

Book – The Obstacle is the Way by Ryan Holiday

The Obstacle is not IN your way. – the obstacle IS the way.

5 Ways The Obstacle AS the Way Changes You

1. Takes you from a catastrophe thinker to a possibility thinker.
2. Removes mental blocks to creative solutions.
3. Encourages faith in the future to arise.
4. Elevates your mood and decreases cortisol levels.
5. Allows you access to your best internal resources – and most importantly your internal resourcefulness.

Questions to Ask When You Encounter What May LOOK Like An Obstacle

If I believed the obstacle was actually the path to what I seek, how would I behave? What would I be thinking? What would I be doing?

What does this make possible?

What does this mean?

What might be the long-range benefits of this?

What can I learn from this?

How can I use this?

• Is the way you are setting your goals keeping you from reaching them?

• Is your attitude standing in the way of you being able to overcome your problems? 

• Be intentional about your goals. It is worth the effort to get the result. 

• Are you in the Matrix? Will you choose the blue pill or the red pill. Wake up to reality or stay in the illusion?

• Are you doing the same thing every day over and over again. Do you need to break this cycle?

• I signed up for Michael Hyatt’s Best Year Ever Program and this program was different, and it helped me make some decisions to change my life. 

• After starting it, I made 1 million dollars in my business, lost 67 pounds, paid off our debt. It woke me up and forced me to complete the past.

• Looking back at your past gives you the ability to learn, be aware and analyze what has happened and what I will do differently in the future.

What Is Symphonic Copywriting?

Remember Senior Prom in High School?

You're dressed to the nines and rented a limo to pick up your date. Your tuxedo and bow tie are strangling you half to death, but you catch a glimpse of your slick self in the rear-view mirror. “Dang… I'm lookin' good!” 

And wow, your girl looks amazing in her sky-blue prom dress. Her eyes are sparkling like sapphires and she gives you ‘the look'! Mama mia! 

As you escort your beautiful date (man… how did I get so lucky?) into the dance, the band starts to play… “

Aaahhh! THAT'S OUR SONG!” She says.

Perfect timing! How did the band know?! 

“May I have this dance?” You say with a little bow.

All the excitement, all the emotion, all the fire of young love burns inside you both as you grab hands and head out to the dance floor.

You were in the right place at the right time and the band played your tune. You HAD to dance! You were primed and ready.
