GETTING STARTED GUIDE
Welcome to Breakthrough to Success Online – and congratulations on taking such a huge leap toward
creating the life you want!
This guide contains important information related to the program, so make sure you save it to your com-
puter or print it and post it somewhere you can see it so you can easily refer back to it as you work through
the program content.
OVERVIEW
Here’s a quick glance at what you’ll be learning and experiencing in Breakthrough to Success Online:
• Welcome
• STEP ONE: Tapping Into Your True Power
• STEP TWO: Discovering Your Purpose
• STEP THREE: Aligning Your Purpose with Your Passions
• STEP FOUR: Defining Your Dream
• STEP FIVE: Making the “Impossible” Possible
• STEP SIX: Identifying and Overcoming Your Obstacles
• STEP SEVEN: Taking Inspired Action
• STEP EIGHT: Unleashing Your Full Potential
• STEP NINE: Developing Success Habits
• STEP TEN: Creating Your Support Community
• Live Your Dream
Each Step contains 1-5 separate modules with training videos and downloadable workbooks that will
help you put your learning into action right away.
• INDIVIDUAL PDF WORKBOOKS: Each module features its own separate downloadable PDF file, so
you can download and print each one as you start to work on that module.
• COMPLETE PDF WORKBOOK: You could choose to download the complete workbook, which you’ll
find in the Course Download section at the bottom of the home page. It contains all the modules, so
you can download them all in one go, if you’d prefer.
• TYPEABLE PDF WORKBOOK: There’s also a typeable version of the complete workbook, which
means you can type your answers directly into the PDF, if that’s something you’d like to do. You will
find it the Course Download section. If you choose this route, we strongly encourage you to save your
work as you go, so your writing doesn’t get lost when you close the document.
Alternatively, you may wish to refer to the questions in the workbooks and record your answers in
your own journal. That’s fine, too! Whichever works best for you.

GETTING STARTED GUIDE
Each module will take you anywhere from 15 minutes to 1-2 hours to complete. There is no set timeline
to completing them – you can choose to do one module a day, one step a week, or complete the entire
program over five days, as the participants at the live event do. It’s entirely up to you!
Take a look at your current life commitments and how much time you have available then create a
schedule that works best for you. Once you’re done, commit to that schedule! Consistent forward prog-
ress is the key to success.
Each module builds on what you’ve learned and the activities you’ve completed in the previous ones, so
the teachings will have more meaning and impact if you complete them in the order listed.
Even if you think you’ve already mastered some of the principles this program covers, be sure to com-
plete every module anyway – because every time you do this work, you’re going to experience new
epiphanies and insights that are specific to where you are in your life.
You want to feel like you’re moving forward steadily and absorbing each lesson fully without being
rushed.
For the next 12 weeks, I’ll be sending you a check-in email every 7 days from this point forward. Be sure
to read these emails – they provide a ton of helpful tips on how to get the most out of the Breakthrough
to Success Online program.
Over the next days and weeks, you will be asked to move out of your comfort zone and do things you
may never have done before. If you run into a roadblock, be gentle with yourself and trust in the process.
You now have access to a whole suite of success tools designed to help you overcome any obstacle you
encounter. Remember that the Principles always work if you work the Principles!

STEP ONE | MODULE 1
MAIN TAKEAWAYS
• Your outlook determines your experience. No matter whether you think you can or you think you
can’t – you’re right.
• Your thoughts create your reality. So if you want to change your experience, you have to change
your thoughts.
• “Whatever the mind can conceive, and believe, it can achieve.” (Napolean Hill) Your mind has the
power to make the “impossible” possible.

STEP ONE | MODULE 1
Each activity in this program is clearly labeled to show you which aspects of yourself it targets, so you can
pay attention to those aspects and notice how the activity impacts your sense of self and your experience. By
developing greater awareness of what’s happening inside you – in your thoughts, your emotions, your imagi-
nation, and so on – you will become more in tune with your holistic self and be able to develop powerful new
habits and practices that will help you become the person you were always meant to be.
Read the sentence below and then spend at least 2 minutes writing down all the thoughts that are sparked
by the sentence. Don’t think too much about it – just write down whatever comes to you, as you would in a
brainstorming session.

STEP ONE | MODULE 1
Now record your thoughts about this sentence. Be honest! The more open and vulnerable you are as you do
this work, the more you will get out of it.
Now take a look at the thoughts you wrote above. How many were positive? (E.g., I believe this, I know this is
true, I am excited to create the future of my dreams.) How many were negative? (E.g., I don’t believe this, I’m skep-
tical, maybe for some people but not for me.)
From now on, I’d like you to start paying more attention to your thoughts. When you catch yourself thinking
negatively, (I’m so terrible, I can’t do this), try to replace those thoughts with more positive ones (I’m stronger
than I think I am, I can do anything I put my mind to). Future lessons will drill down and help you with this. For
now, simply practice becoming more aware of your thoughts.

Write the first four words that come to mind in each of the quadrants below.
Now choose one of the words – whichever one resonates most strongly with you right now – and take a few
moments to explore that emotion and explain WHY you are currently feeling that way. What are the causes?
How is this emotion affecting you mentally and physically? Pay attention to how it feels in your body:

STEP ONE | MODULE 1
Repeat this exercise whenever you are feeling disconnected from yourself and aren’t sure why. Tuning into
your emotions allows you to become more aware of the connection between your feelings and what’s cur-
rently happening in your world, as well as how your emotions influence how you show up in life.
Rate your current level of physical health, with 1 being “I suffer from chronic illness, am extremely weak and
have zero energy” and 10 being, “I work out at least five times a week, regularly run marathons or participate
in other top-level athletic events, never get sick and am always bursting with energy.”

How would you describe your relationship with your body? Do you take good care of it, in terms of what you
eat and your level of physical activity? Are you proud of its strength and what it allows you to do? Or do you
feel like your body is your enemy, preventing you from doing what you want to do?

How is your body, and your relationship to it, affecting your sense of self? Does it make you more confident in
yourself and what you’re capable of achieving, or does it make you feel weak and uncertain in your abilities?
Imagine this: Your boss, or your most important client (whichever is most relevant to your current professional
situation), has just emailed you unexpectedly to set up a meeting with you. You have no idea what this meet-
ing could be about.
What scenario plays out in your mind as you wonder about the purpose of the meeting? Do you see yourself
getting fired? Or promoted? Are you being given the opportunity of a lifetime, or is the meeting about noth-
ing special?

In future lessons, you will learn how to harness the power of visualization to imagine positive outcomes to any
situation in which you find yourself. For now, simply notice where your mind goes, and if you find yourself en-
visioning a negative outcome to something, stop and replace that by consciously imagining a more positive
outcome instead.

STEP Module 2:
1 Self-Esteem and The Poker
Chip Theory of Success
www.getwsodo.com
www.getwsodo.com
STEP ONE | MODULE 2
OVERVIEW
Self-esteem is like a stack of poker chips. The more chips you have, the more likely you are to take bigger
risks. In life, as in poker, you have to risk big to win big. So work diligently to build and maintain huge lev-
els of self-esteem and self-confidence. You do this by taking on new challenges, taking action even when
you’re scared, and growing your knowledge and skill sets so you have the confidence you need to achieve
your goals.
MAIN TAKEAWAYS
• The more confident you are, the bigger the risks you’ll take.
Ten means that you’re bursting with confidence and 100% positive that you can accomplish any goal with
ease. You’re ready to wrestle lions! One means that you’re pre-suicidal – you despise yourself and sincerely
believe the world and everyone in it would be better off without you.

As you work through the exercises in this program, return to do this self-esteem check often. You may want
to set yourself the goal of completing this self-esteem check on a daily or weekly basis. As you go through
this course, and take consistent action toward achieving your goals and creating the life of your dreams, your
self-esteem will go up.
Once you have chosen the date for your next self-esteem check, take a moment right now to add it to your
calendar. Then honor your commitment to yourself and return to this workbook to check in on how you’re
feeling.

STEP Module 3:
1 Taking 100%
Responsibility for Your Life
www.getwsodo.com
www.getwsodo.com
STEP ONE | MODULE 3
MAIN TAKEAWAYS
• You can’t hire other people to do your push-ups for you! There are many tasks you can and should
outsource to others – but personal growth work is not one of them.
• E+R=O. Event + Response = Outcome. If you don’t like your current outcomes, don’t blame the
external event – change your response.
• Nobody can “make you” do anything. Everything is a choice... especially your attitude.
• Replace the word “CAN’T” with the word “WON’T.” It’s an easy way to assume more responsibility
over your thoughts and actions. It’s not that you “can’t” run a marathon, it’s that you won’t put in
the time and effort to do the training because it’s not a priority for you right now.
• Complaining is an indicator of your own inaction. When you complain, it means you have an idea
of something you would prefer but are not willing to risk creating.

The equation, “E+R=O” can be used to explain everything that happens to you. Here’s what it means:
In other words, when something happens in your life, your response to that event is what determines the
outcome. Of the three variables in this equation, the only one you have control over is your RESPONSE.
When you change your response, you change the outcome.

8. By what date will you take the actions you identified in step 7 above?
9. On a scale of 1-10, how likely are you to follow through on this action? Circle the answer that applies.

10. If your answer is anything lower than 10, what obstacles are standing in the way of you taking guaran-
teed action? What actions will you take to remove those obstacles – and when will you commit to doing
them by?
Now repeat this process and answer these same 10 questions for every difficult or troubling situation that
is currently having a negative impact on your life and preventing you from experiencing more happiness,
success, and abundance in your life.

“I can’t” is a lie. For the vast majority of things you say you “can’t do,” the truth is, you are choosing not to do
them.
For example: you might say that you can’t ski, but the truth is, you’ve never bothered to learn. If you took
lessons and practiced, you would absolutely be able to ski, but you’ve never done so because it has never
been a priority for you. Take back ownership over your life by listing as many things you normally say you
“can’t” do, and then transform those “can’t” statements into “WON’T” statements.
Examples:
I can’t speak in front of a large audience -> I WON’T speak in front of a large audience
I can’t get out of debt -> I WON’T pay off my debt
I can’t lose weight -> I WON’T lose weight
YOUR TURN
Write 5 “I can’t” statements that you often find yourself saying.
Now practice saying your “I won’t” statements out loud. How does it feel to say you WON’T do some-
thing, as opposed to saying you CAN’T do that thing? Record your thoughts here:
From now on, make a decision to eliminate “I can’t” from your vocabulary. Every time you find yourself
using those words, consciously replace them with “I won’t.” It’s a simple but powerful way to take owner-
ship over your actions and inactions.

We often use clever arguments to try to trick ourselves into taking wrong action or believing things that aren’t
true. For example, we tell ourselves that we’re happy in our job when we’re not, or that having “one more for
the road” is perfectly fine.
But even though you might get tricked by your own arguments and justifications, your body never lies. So
when you’re in doubt about what to do or think in a certain situation, simply ask your body for its input!
A. LEAN TEST
1. Stand up and close your eyes.
2. Ask your body to show you a “yes.” After a few seconds, your body will start to lean forward or
backward.
3. Now ask your body to show you a “no.” It should lean in the opposite direction from your “yes.”
4. Once you’ve calibrated yourself and know which direction is “yes” and which is “no,” ask your-
self if you should take the action or hold the belief you’re considering.
The answer you receive in the form of a simple lean will reveal what truly is in your best interest.
When you are asked to say something that’s true, your muscles will test strong. But when you’re asked to
say something that you know deep inside isn’t true, your muscles get weak.
Here are some examples of things that will strengthen or weaken your muscles:
STRENGTHENS WEAKENS
Speaking truth Speaking falsehood
Envisioning / experiencing success Envisioning / experiencing failure
Receiving praise Receiving criticism
Saying “I can” Saying “I can’t”
Expressing & receiving love Expressing & receiving judgment
Abstaining from sugar Eating Sugar
Serving others Serving oneself
Staying hydrated Being dehydrated

In order to use the muscle strength test to get to the truth of something, follow these steps:
1. Stand up and hold your arms out straight to the side, so your body forms a T.
2. Ask someone to press down on your arm while you say something that is true. They should find it
hard to push your arm down.
3. Ask someone to press down on your arm while you say something that is a lie. They should find it
much harder to push your arm down.
4. If you find yourself psychologically reversed – in other words, your partner finds it easy to press down
on your arm when you say something that’s true, and difficult to press down on your arm when you
say something that’s a lie, tap the heel of your left hand 35 times. Then repeat steps 2 & 3 to see if you
have psychologically “righted” yourself.

RESPONSE / ABILITY
The game we play is let’s pretend
and pretend we’re not pretending.
We choose to forget who we are
and then forget that we have forgotten.
Who are we really?
(we are) the centre that watches
and runs the show
that chooses which way it will go
the “I AM” consciousness -
that powerful loving perfect reflection
of the cosmos.
But in our attempt to cope with early
situations we chose or were hypnotized
into a passive situation to avoid
punishment - or the loss of love.
We chose to deny our response/ability
pretending that things just happened
or that we were being controlled -
taken over.
We put ourselves down, and have become
used to this masochistic posture, this
weakness, this indecisiveness...
but we are in reality free,
a centre of cosmic energy.
Your will is your power - don’t pretend
you don’t have it - or you wont.

Maximizing Your Potential
STEP Module 1:
2 Owning Your Positive Past
www.getwsodo.com
www.getwsodo.com
STEP TWO | MODULE 1
OVERVIEW
No matter who you are, or what your current situation is, I guarantee that you have accomplished more
in your life than you think you have. In this module, you will review the story of your life and learn how to
identify and appreciate your past successes, and thereby develop the self-esteem and self-confidence you
need to embrace new challenges and take your next big step.
MAIN TAKEAWAYS
• You have already accomplished amazing things in your life.
• Reviewing and acknowledging your past successes increases your capacity to achieve more in
the future. It raises your self-esteem, helps you see yourself as someone who is capable of accom-
plishing big things, and increases your willingness to take on new challenges.
Imagine a Hollywood movie producer coming up to you and saying, “We want to make a movie of your life –
but we need an outline. What’s your life all about? What has happened in it?

STEP TWO | MODULE 1
Once you have finished this step, I suggest you share this exercise like you’ve seen participants do in the live
training. You can do this with a partner or in a group of 4-6 people. This can be friends, family members, or
colleagues at work. Take 3-5 minutes each. If you do this with friends or co-workers, you’ll often be surprised
at how much new information you will learn about them.
If you’re looking for partners for this exercise, feel free to ask in our private Facebook group! It’s a great place
to find other motivated people who are also doing this work and may be interested in connecting with you.
Divide your life into three equal age periods (i.e., birth-15, 16-30, 31-45) and list three successes for each pe-
riod of your life on the spaces provided below. In the last section list three successes you would like to have
in the next five years. As you write about your past successes, recall how you FELT when you achieved those
successes? What emotions and sensations did you experience in your body? As you think about each success,
take a moment to re-experience those same feelings now.

Choose the biggest success from each time frame. If you’re working with a partner, take turns sharing those
successes and explain WHY you chose those successes to share. Why were they so important to you? What kind
of impact did they have on your life?

STEP TWO | MODULE 1
Think of the success symbols you have in your life - your high school or college diploma, a certificate of
achievement, a trophy or award, a book you wrote, or a picture of something you have accomplished, some
physical object you keep because it reminds you of a success in your life. If you could show me an object that
represents a major success in your life, what would that object be – and what is its significance to you?
List 100 successes you have accomplished in your life: such as graduating high school, getting a job, learning
a language, moving to a different country, having a successful relationship, raising a thoughtful and well-man-
nered child, taking care of a sick parent, learning to make a fantastic pizza from scratch and so on. No success
is too small to be celebrating. Then, when you’re done, hang this list somewhere you can see it every day and
refer back to it often to remind yourself that you’re capable of achieving many things. This will also build your
self-esteem and add to your pile of “poker chips.”

STEP Module 2:
2 Expanding Your Self-Awareness
www.getwsodo.com
www.getwsodo.com
STEP TWO | MODULE 2
OVERVIEW
In this lesson, you’re going to dig deeper into your truth and gain some powerful clarity on the things that
are fundamentally important to you.
MAIN TAKEAWAYS
• In order to uncover your fundamental truths, you’ve got to go below the surface.
• The answers are inside you – you just have to look for them.
In this exercise, you answer the same question over and over again, coming up with different answers each
time, so you move beyond the superficial responses that usually occur to you when confronted with these
questions and start revealing the answers that matter most to you.
During the BTS live event I usually have people work with a partner and take turns asking each other these
questions. If you have a friend or family member who is willing to help you with this exercise, I encourage
you to do it as a partner exercise. If that’s not possible, then ask yourself the same question over and over for
90 seconds and write down all of your answers as a brainstorming exercise. Don’t worry about making your
answers “perfect” – just say or write whatever comes to mind.

STEP TWO | MODULE 3
OVERVIEW
Figuring out exactly what your life purpose is – and how you were meant to express it in the world – is
one of the most important actions that successful people take to create the lives they want. In this lesson,
you’re going to gain valuable clarity on what your PURPOSE is so you can start living a life of greater mean-
ing and fulfillment.
MAIN TAKEAWAYS
• Discovering your purpose is the key to creating a life of meaning and fulfillment.
• When you’re living in alignment with your purpose, your actions automatically serve others – and
so the Universe will conspire to help you achieve your goals.
• The clearer your vision of your ideal life, the easier it will be to make it a reality.
• When you write your vision down and share it out loud you gain powerful clarity.
• When you don’t share your vision, you prevent it from happening, but when you do, you make it
possible for others to help you achieve it.

Now describe that gift and what you think it means in terms of your life purpose. What unique gifts do
you have, and how can you use those gifts to create the life you want while making a positive impact
on the world around you?
If you didn’t visualize a gift in the Life Purpose meditation, or if you’d simply like to get more insight into your
life purpose, this activity explores the idea of your purpose from a different angle.
1. List two of your unique personal qualities, such as enthusiasm and creativity.
2. List one or two ways you enjoy expressing those qualities when interacting with others, such as to
support and to inspire.
3. Assume the world is perfect right now. What does this world look like? How is everyone interacting
with everyone else? What does it feel like? This is a statement, in present tense, describing an ulti-
mate condition, the perfect world as you see it and feel it. Remember a perfect world is a fun place to
be.

expands. We suggest taking the Passion Test every few months to help keep yourself on track to achieving
your life’s purpose and your vision of your ideal life.
MAIN TAKEAWAYS
• “Whenever faced with a decision, a choice or an opportunity, always choose in favor of your
passions.” - Janet Attwood

a million times and never again reproduce the same genetic pattern. You are the only chance this planet has for

you should be? Or will you occur?” - George Sheehan, 1979

Maximizing Your Potential
STEP Module 1:
4 Unleashing the Power
of Goal-Setting
www.getwsodo.com
www.getwsodo.com
STEP FOUR | MODULE 1
OVERVIEW
In this lesson, you are going to learn how to set clear and measurable goals that will help you make YOUR
personal vision a reality – no matter where you’re at right now in your life. You’ll also discover the two dif-
ferent ways to measure goals, as well as how to ensure your goals are realistic and achievable, while still
requiring you to grow in the process of accomplishing them.
MAIN TAKEAWAYS
• High achievers set concrete goals and objectives for themselves. It’s what distinguishes them
from the dreamers.
• For your goals to be achievable, they must be MEASURABLE in time and space (how much by
when).
• To greatly increase your chances of success, you must write your goal down and share it with oth-
ers.
• The fewer words you use in describing your goals, the more impactful and easier to remember
they are.
• Your goals should be phrased as a POSITIVE, not a NEGATIVE. (As in, “I will only eat healthy food”
vs. “I will stop eating junk food.”)
• As you write your goals, if you notice any fears, considerations and roadblocks starting to appear,
write them down so you can deal with them and ensure they don’t get in the way of achieving
your goals.
• Considerations, fears and roadblocks are natural. Don’t let them stop you. See them as caution
signs, not stop signs.
• The goal is MASTERY of all aspects of your life. And the only way to become a master is to con-
front your challenges and deal with them head on. That is how you become the kind of person
who is capable of creating the life of your dreams.

One of the big reasons why visions don’t become reality is because they are not specific enough. In order to
be achievable, your goals must be measurable. They must indicate how much will be accomplished and by
when.
Here are some examples that illustrate the difference between a “good idea” and a specific objective that’s
clear and measurable:
I need to lose weight. I will weight 185 lbs. by January 1, 2019, 5:00 pm.
YOUR TURN
Refer back to Step Two, Module 3, and go to “The Vision for the 7 Key Areas of Your Life” (Activity 3). Pick
three areas of your life vision and write at least 3-5 goals you will need to achieve in order to make those
areas of your vision a reality.
Once you have completed those three areas, take the time to create 3-5 goals for the other four areas of
your vision as well.

STEP FOUR | MODULE 1
After you have completed the goals for your life vision, answer the following questions:
1. What feelings did you notice coming up when you turned your vision into specific goals?
2. What considerations, negative beliefs or limiting thoughts did you notice coming up when you
were turning your vision into specific goals?
3. What fears did you notice coming up when you were turning your vision into specific goals?
Remember, when you commit to measurable and specific objectives, you may notice:
• Considerations
• Fears
• Roadblocks
Let them come up, so you can start to deal with them. Remember, the ultimate goal is mastery!

STEP Module 2:
4 Setting Your Breakthrough Goal
www.getwsodo.com
www.getwsodo.com
STEP FOUR | MODULE 2
OVERVIEW
This module walks you through the process of identifying your breakthrough goal – a goal so big it will
quantum leap you closer to your dreams. You will also learn valuable tips on how to stay on track and
make consistent progress toward the achievement of that goal.
MAIN TAKEAWAYS
• A Breakthrough Goal is one that would quantum leap your professional success and that will re-
quire you to grow to achieve it.
• Your Breakthrough Goal should be big enough to SCARE you. Fear is a sign that achieving your
goal will require you to grow. And growth is what life is all about!
• The Rule of 5 is a powerful way to break your goal into achievable sub-goals and get more done
every day so you can stay on track and make consistent progress toward your goals.
• An “ideal scene” is an affirmation on steroids. Visualize your goal as already complete and then
describe your new reality in as much detail as possible.
1. Whether you believe you can achieve it or not, what one single goal in your career, business, lifestyle
or relationships would quantum leap you to the next level? Is it landing a promotion, meeting a sales
goal, changing jobs, expanding your business, finding romance, qualifying for an award, going back
to school, writing a book, getting your MBA, creating a killer website, getting your license, having your
own internet radio show, losing 60 pounds, or some other goal? Write your breakthrough goal below.

2. Now visualize how your life would change as a result of accomplishing this goal. What would you be
doing, seeing and feeling?

STEP FOUR | MODULE 2
The Rule of 5 simply means that everyday, you do five specific things that move a goal towards comple-
tion. You especially want to use this to achieve your Breakthrough Goal.
Example:
With the goal of getting Chicken Soup for the Soul ® to the New York Times Best-Seller List, it meant having
five radio interviews or sending five review copies to editors who might review the book, or calling five
network marketing companies and asking them to buy the book as a motivational tool for their salespeo-
ple, or giving a seminar to at least five people and selling the book in the back of the room. On some days
we would simply send our five free copies to people listed in the Celebrity Address Book—people such as
Harrison Ford, Barbara Streisand, Paul McCartney, Steven Spielberg, and Sidney Poitier. As a result of that
one activity, I ended up meeting Sidney Poitier—at his request—and we later learned that the producer
of the television show Touched By an Angel required all of the people working on the show to read Chick-
en Soup for the Soul ® to put them in “the right frame of mind.”
We made phone calls to people who could review the book, wrote press releases, called in to talk shows
(some at 3 AM), gave away free copies at our talks, sent them to ministers to use as a source of talks for
their sermons, gave free Chicken Soup for the Soul talks at churches, did book signings at any bookstore
that would haves us, asked businesses to make bulk purchases for their employees, got the book into

the PXs on military bases, asked our fellow speakers to sell the books at their talks, asked seminar com-
panies to put it in their catalogues, bought a directory of catalogues and asked all the appropriate ones
to carry the book, visited gift shops and card shops and asked them to carry the book, and we even got
gas stations, bakeries, and restaurants to sell the book. It was a lot of effort—a minimum of five things a
day, every day, day in and day out—for over 2 years. Was it worth it? Yes! The book eventually sold over
10 million copies in 47 languages.
Did it happen overnight? No! We did not make a best seller list until over a year after the book came
out—a year! But it was the sustained effort of the Rule of 5 for over 2 years that led to the success—one
action at a time, one book at a time, one reader at a time. But slowly, over time, each reader told another
reader, and eventually, like a slow-building chain letter, the word was spread and the book became a
huge success—what Time magazine called “the publishing phenomenon of the decade.” It was less of a
publishing phenomenon and more of a phenomenon of persistent effort—thousands of individual activ-
ities that all added up to one large success.
YOUR TURN
Use the Rule of 5 to break down your breakthrough goal or any other major goal, into manageable chunks
and get more accomplished every day. Rank your five goals in order of priority, so you accomplish the
most important first, then the next most important, and so on. Your 5 action steps should be big enough
to move you forward but small enough to be achievable in a single day. Do your best to complete all 5
action steps before going to bed.
You can use the form below or add your 5 daily goals to your personal planner, or online calendar system.

Write as detailed description of what you would be experiencing, seeing, hearing and feeling if you had
already achieved the goal. Where are you? Are you alone or with other people? What are the other people
saying or doing? Are you inside (describe the environment in detail) or outside? What else is happening?
Be as concrete and specific as possible! What are you feeling?

Write the goal from your ideal scene at the top of this form then brainstorm all the action steps you need
to complete in order to achieve that goal. You can do this on your own or enlist the help of a partner or
your accountability group, if you have one. Be sure to delegate tasks to others whenever possible so you
can stay focused on your core genius.

Maximizing Your Potential
STEP Module 1:
5 Releasing Your Brakes
with Affirmations
www.getwsodo.com
www.getwsodo.com
STEP FIVE | MODULE 1
OVERVIEW
In this module, you’re going to learn how to create powerful “manifestation affirmations” that are in align-
ment with your ideal vision and that will make the biggest possible impact on your subconscious mind
– and on your behavior. You’ll also learn some valuable tips on how to make your affirmations more pow-
erful and effective.
MAIN TAKEAWAYS
• Affirmations are positive statements that help you visualize your goals as already achieved.
• Affirmations are always stated in the positive. (“I have achieved this” vs. “I have avoided doing
this.”)
• Your affirmation should focus on what you WANT, not what you DON’T want.
1. Start with the words “I am.” The words I am are the two most powerful words in the language. The
subconscious takes any sentence that starts with the words I am and interprets it as a command—a
directive to make it happen.
2. Use the present tense. Describe what you want as though you already have it, as though it is al-
ready accomplished.
3. State it in the positive. Affirm what you want, not what you don’t want. State your affirmations in
the positive. The unconscious does not hear the words no, or not. This means that the statement
“Don’t slam the door” is heard as “Slam the door.” The unconscious thinks in pictures, and the words

STEP FIVE | MODULE 1
“Don’t slam the door” evoke a picture of slamming the door. The phrase “I am no longer afraid of
flying” evokes an image of being afraid of flying, while the phrase “I am enjoying the thrill of flying”
evokes an image of enjoyment.
4. Keep it brief. Think of your affirmation as an advertising jingle. Act as if each word costs $1,000. It
needs to be short enough and memorable enough to be easily remembered.
6. Include an action word ending with “-ing.” The active verb adds power to the effect by evoking an
image of doing it right now.
7. Include at least one dynamic emotion or feeling word. Include the emotional state you would
be feeling if you had already achieved the goal. Some commonly used words are enjoying, joyfully,
happily, celebrating, proudly, calmly, peacefully, delighted, enthusiastic, lovingly, secure, serenely,
and triumphant.
Note that the last one has the ring of an advertising jingle. The subconscious loves rhythm and
rhymes.
8. Make affirmations for yourself, not others. When you are constructing your affirmations, make
them describe your behavior, not the behavior of others.
BONUS TIP: Add “...or something better.” When you are affirming getting a specific situation (job,
opportunity, vacation), material object (house, car, boat), or relationship (husband, wife, child), al-
ways add the words “or something (someone) better.” Sometimes our criteria for what we want come
from our ego or from our limited experience. Sometimes there is someone or something better that
is available for us, so let your affirmations include this phrase when it is appropriate.

Example: I am enjoying living in my beautiful beachfront villa on the Ka’anapali coast of Maui or some-
where better.
Once you’re done, share your affirmations with a friend or family member. Alternatively, you might want
to find a sharing partner in our private Facebook group.

5 Turbocharging Your Goal
with Visualization
www.getwsodo.com
www.getwsodo.com
STEP FIVE | MODULE 2
OVERVIEW
In this module, you’re going to learn a powerful technique that will retrain your mind to get rid of old con-
ditioning that no longer serves you, and replace it with A more positive visualization that will boost your
self-esteem and confidence and help you stay inspired and motivated as you progress toward your goals.
MAIN TAKEAWAYS
• Daily visualization is the key to making your vision for your ideal life a reality.
• All of us have subconscious programming from our childhood that causes us to believe certain
things about ourselves, even when it’s not in our best interest to do so.
• Our subconscious conditioning has a far greater impact on our behavior than our conscious in-
tentions do.
• We have to visualize and practice in our mind what we want to experience in reality in the future.
• We all have selective attention and blind spots. We need to train our brains to see what we WANT
to see.
• The conflict between your current reality and your ideal vision that is created when you visualize
your goals as complete, creates structural tension that shifts your perception, expands your cre-
ativity, and increases your motivation to resolve that conflict by making your ideal vision a reality.
• You have to train yourself to consistently focus on the solutions and results you want. Otherwise,
you might not notice the opportunities and resources to achieve them when they appear.

Use these 12 tips to make your affirmation and visualization practice even more effective.
1. Repeat your affirmations 3 times per day. The best times are first thing in the morning, in the middle
of the day for course correction, and around bedtime.
2. It is better to work consistently and in depth with a few affirmations than to occasionally repeat a lot
of them.
3. If you are in a private place, read each affirmation out loud. If not, read it silently to yourself.
4. After you read each affirmation, close your eyes and visualize yourself experiencing what the affirma-
tion describes.

5. See the scene as you would see it if you were looking out at it through your eyes, as if it were happen-
ing around you.
6. Hear any sounds you might hear when you successfully achieve what your affirmation describes. You
can also include other important people in your life congratulating you and telling you how pleased
they are with your success.
7. Feel the feelings right now that you will experience when you achieve this success. The stron-
ger the feelings, the more powerful the process becomes. (If you have difficulty creating these
emotions, you can affirm, “I am enjoying creating powerful feelings in my effective work with
affirmations”)
8. Say your affirmation again, and then repeat this process with the next affirmation.
9. Post 3x5 cards with your affirmations on them around your house and office.
10. Post pictures of the things you want around your house or room. You can put a picture of your-
self in the picture.
11. Repeat your affirmations during wasted time such as waiting in line, exercising and driving. You
can repeat them silently or out loud.
12. Record your affirmations and listen to them while you work, drive or fall asleep. You can record
them and listen to them in your computer or on your smart phone.

Blocks
www.getwsodo.com
www.getwsodo.com
STEP SIX | MODULE 1
OVERVIEW
All of us have blocks formed in childhood that hold us back from experiencing greater success in life. In
this module, you will be taken through an activity that will help you identify and remove those blocks.
MAIN TAKEAWAYS
• Many of the beliefs we formed between the ages of 3-8 years old are still limiting us on the sub-
conscious level.
• Emotional pain gets stored in our bodies as physical pain, tension, or numbness. By exploring
those sensations we can uncover the memory of the moment when we formed a belief that no
longer serves us – then release that belief and form a new one that will serve us much better.
After watching the video for this module, complete the following:
1. An area of my life where I feel stuck or blocked or I am having a hard time creating what I want:
2. The feeling I experience when I think about that area of my life is:

6 Letting Go of Guilt
and Resentment
www.getwsodo.com
www.getwsodo.com
STEP SIX | MODULE 2
OVERVIEW
The feelings of guilt and resentment are two of the biggest roadblocks that prevent us from achieving
a higher level of success. You’re about to learn how to release these negative feelings so they no longer
stand in the way of your goals.
MAIN TAKEAWAYS
• Guilt and resentment are caused by our beliefs around how people (ourselves and others)
“should” behave and circumstances “should” unfold.
• When our beliefs don’t match up with the reality of our experience, this leads to tension and dis-
comfort that can manifest as either guilt or resentment.
• If it’s OUR behavior that isn’t matching up to our expectations, we feel guilt.
• If it’s the behavior of others, or our outer circumstances, that don’t match our beliefs, we experi-
ence resentment.
• To release guilt and resentment, you can change your beliefs of how people should or shouldn’t
be.
• You can never change your past behavior – but you can change the way you think about it.

2. What belief or “should” about yourself does that action, or non-action, violate?
4. In relation to this action or non-action, can you change your past behavior?
Remember, guilt is the result of having a belief about how you should or shouldn’t be and an action or in-
action that violates that belief. To get rid of guilt, you must change your belief or your actions. You cannot
change your past actions, only your present and future ones. You can also use EFT tapping to release guilt.

6 Getting the Acknowledgment
You Never Got
www.getwsodo.com
www.getwsodo.com
STEP SIX | MODULE 3
OVERVIEW
We all want acknowledgment for our effort and achievements. But the reality is, we don’t always get it.
When our hard work, positive behaviors, personal contributions, and accomplishments go unrecognized,
they lose value in our eyes. And so we value ourselves less and are less likely to take on new challenges as
a result. In this lesson, you’re going to learn how to ask for and receive the kind of nurturing acknowledg-
ment that fuels your self-esteem and self-confidence.
MAIN TAKEAWAYS
• Asking for and receiving acknowledgment is a powerful way to complete the past and heal your-
self.
• When you ask for acknowledgment, to maximize its effectiveness , be as specific as possible
about what you want acknowledgment for.
1. Find a partner and take turns role-playing the acknowledgment exercise, just as the participants do
in the video.
2. Find a partner in our Facebook Group or someone you know and conduct the role-play using email,
Skype or video chat.
3. Use the space below to write a letter to the person, and then role-play a response from them that
provides the acknowledgment you’ve always wanted.

Once you have completed the role-play, you may want to approach the person in question, if he or she is still
alive, and ask for the acknowledgment you crave. Just remember that the person might not be ready to give
you that acknowledgment yet. Use your intuition to decide whether such a request will provide the positive
outcome you seek.
Once you have completed the role-play exercise above, take a few moments to acknowledge your-
self for all the amazing things you do and have done in your life. Then think of someone in your life who
deserves acknowledgment and explain what they have done or do that makes them so wonderful.

STEP Module 4:
6 Tapping Your Way to Success
www.getwsodo.com
www.getwsodo.com
STEP SIX | MODULE 4
OVERVIEW
Tapping, also known as the “emotional freedom technique” or EFT, is a very powerful tool for eliminating
self-sabotaging emotions that might be holding you back from achieving a higher level of success. In this
module, you will learn how to use this tool to immediately reduce any guilt or resentment – as well as any
fears, worries, concerns, anger or limiting beliefs - that might come up for you as you work toward your
goals.
MAIN TAKEAWAYS
• Most phobias, negative emotions, and limiting beliefs can be cured in five minutes or less – sim-
ply by tapping on certain acupressure points.
• One theory on why tapping works suggests that when we tap, we bring our energy into the
prefrontal cortex, which is the rational mind that makes logical choices. It is also where our “third
eye” or spiritual center resides. So we raise our feeling from irrational fear, to a more spiritual and
rational level of thought.
• Another theory suggests that tapping works because it removes blocks in our body and allows
energy to flow freely through our body, so our negative emotions and beliefs can be released.
• If you’re interested in going deeper into tapping, check out my book, Tapping to Ultimate Suc-
cess, or many of the other tapping-related resources online.

STEP SIX | MODULE 4
ACTIVITY 1. TAP AWAY YOUR PAIN, NEGATIVE EMOTIONS, AND LIMITING BELIEFS
2. On a scale of 0-10, how intense is this pain, emotion, or belief? (0 being non-existent, 10 being unbear-
ably strong.)
Unbearably
Non-existent Strong
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
3. Using the diagram on the next page as reference, tap on all the points from the top of your head to the
side of your chest.
4. As you tap, repeat the following at least three times before moving onto the next tapping point:
“Even though I [insert your fear/problem statement], I deeply and profoundly love and
accept myself.”
5. Keep tapping until the intensity of the pain, emotion, or belief has diminished to 0 or 1.
6. Once you have eliminated the pain, emotion, or belief completely, replace it with a positive statement.
Repeat this positive statement as you continue the tapping process for several rounds.
You can also try tapping while repeating your affirmations aloud. This can make your affirmations even more
powerful and effective.

6 Coming Out of Hiding
www.getwsodo.com

STEP SIX | MODULE 5
OVERVIEW
All of us have things we hide from people. In this next lesson, you’re going to explore the aspects of your-
self that you hide from others – and how that hiding is holding you back from becoming your best and
most successful version of yourself.
MAIN TAKEAWAYS
• When we hide ourselves, we limit our ability to experience unlimited joy, fulfillment, and abun-
dance in our lives.
• Hiding costs you your freedom, happiness, inner peace, forward progress, ability to be who you
truly are, and so much more.
Make a list of all the things you hide and who you hide them from.

STEP Module 1:
7 The Dis-Identification
Process
www.getwsodo.com
www.getwsodo.com
STEP SEVEN | MODULE 1
OVERVIEW
Many of us tend to identify overly much with things that don’t do a very good job of defining who we are
at our core. We think of ourselves only in terms of our roles: business owner, mother, musician, teacher,
and so on. Or we define ourselves according to our bodies, emotions, thoughts, feelings, or possessions.
In this module, you’re going to be taken through a very powerful exercise that will help you gain much
deeper clarity on who you truly are – as well as who and what you are NOT.
MAIN TAKEAWAYS
Procedure
Put your body in a comfortable and relaxed position, and slowly take a few deep breaths (preliminary
exercises of relaxation can be useful). Then make the following affirmation, slowly and thoughtfully:
1. “I have a body and I am not my body. My body may find itself in different conditions of health or
sickness, it may be rested or tired, but that has nothing too with my self, my real ‘I’. I value my body
as my precious instrument of experience and of action in the outer world, but it is only an instru-
ment. I treat it well, I seek to keep it in good health, but it is not myself. I have a body, and I am not
my body.”

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. WWW.JACKCANFIELD.COM
www.getwsodo.com
www.getwsodo.com
STEP SEVEN | MODULE 1
Now close your eyes, recall briefly in your consciousness the general substance of this affirmation,
and then gradually focus your attention on the central concept: “I have a body but I am not my
body.” Attempt, as much as you can, to realize this as an experienced fact in your consciousness.
Then open your eyes and proceed the same way with the next two stages:
2. “I have emotions, and I am not my emotions. My emotions are diversified, changing, and sometimes
contradictory. They may swing from love to hatred, from calm to anger, from joy to sorrow, and yet
my essence-my true nature-does not change. ‘I’ remain. Though a wave of anger may temporarily
submerge me, I know that it will pass in time; therefore I am not this anger. Since I can observe and
understand my emotions, and then gradually learn to direct, utilize, and integrate them harmoni-
ously, it is clear that they are not my self. I have emotions, and I am not my emotions.”
3. “I have a mind and I am not my mind. My mind is a valuable tool of discovery and expression, but
it is not the essence of my being. Its contents are constantly changing as it embraces new ideas
knowledge, and experience. Sometimes it refuses to obey me. Therefore, it cannot be me, my self.
It is an organ of knowledge in regard to both the outer and the inner worlds, but it is not my self. I
have a mind, but I am not my mind.”
4. After the dis-identification of my self, the “I,” from the contents of consciousness – such as sensa-
tions, emotions, and thoughts – I recognize and affirm that I am a center of pure self-consciousness.
I am a center of will, capable of observing, directing, and using all my psychological processes and
my physical body.”
Focus your attention on the central realization: “I am a center of pure self-consciousness and of will.”
Attempt, as much as you can, to realize this as an experienced fact in your awareness.
5. “What am I then?” What remains after having dis-identified myself from my body, my sensations,
my feelings, my desires, my mind, my actions? It is the essence of myself—a center of pure self-con-
sciousness. It is the permanent factor in the ever-varying flow of my personal life. It is that which
give me a sense of being, of permanence, of inner balance. I affirm my identity with this center and
realize its permanency and its energy.
I recognize and affirm myself as a center of pure self-awareness and of creative, dynamic energy.
I realize that from this center of true identity, I can learn to observe, direct, and harmonize all the
psychological processes and the physical body. I will achieve a constant awareness of this fact in the
midst of my everyday life, and to use it to help me, and give increasing meaning and direction to my
life.
6. I can also choose to be aware of the qualities of my Higher Self – qualities like love, joy, peace, com-
passion, patience, perseverance, courage and wisdom.

I feel....

Ideally, you’ll be able to organize a group of people to carry out this exercise in the same way as the par-
ticipants in the classroom. If this is not possible, it can be conducted with a partner. Take turns asking
your partner the same request repeatedly. Your partner must say “no” nine times before saying yes. You
can also try writing out your question in the space below, to experience what it’s like to ask for the same
thing over and over again and get through all the “no’s” before you finally reach a YES.

8 The 4-Part Meditation
www.getwsodo.com
www.getwsodo.com
STEP EIGHT | MODULE 1
OVERVIEW
In this lesson, you’re going to learn a powerful meditation that will help you still your thoughts, discipline
your mind, and raise your energetic vibration. You will also strengthen your intuition so you can receive
more energy and guidance from God, Source Energy, or The Universal Intelligence.
MAIN TAKEAWAYS
• Repetition is an essential part of meditation. It clears away the mental cobwebs and stills your
active mind.
• When you meditate, you open yourself to receiving communication from your inner self (intu-
ition) and the universe.
• Surround yourself with the white light of protection whenever you feel negativity around you.
• When you take time to listen to what is within, your intuition, sensitivity and alignment with the
universe will grow stronger.
Many years ago I learned this 4-step meditation from Betty Bethard, a teacher from San Francisco. I have
been teaching it in my groups ever since then. I find this technique to be the essence of simplicity. It is
also, however, profoundly effective. May it support your inner peace and access to wisdom.
1. Preparation: sit with palms together and visualize light up left side and down right side of your
body 3 times.
2. Repetition: Repeat a word of phrase repeatedly. “I love myself, I am gentle with myself.”
3. Receptivity: Palms facing up on lap. As the observer: watch your thoughts. feelings and sensa-
tions.

STEP EIGHT | MODULE 1
4. Closing Down: Close your hands, visualize white light surrounding your body. At the end, visual-
ize sending healing energy to another or yourself accomplishing a goal or being totally healthy
(healed).
Physical Preparation: Avoid meditating on a full stomach, when overly tired, or while wearing restrictive
clothing. Do not meditate while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Use your own judgment when
using prescribed medications.
Mental Preparation: It is helpful prior to meditation to prepare yourself mentally. For example, you may
read, discuss, or listen to or think about something of an inspirational nature.
Environmental Preparation: Find a quiet time when you will not be disturbed by the telephone, door-
bell or other interruptions. When you have moved into the inner stillness, all your senses are heightened,
and a sudden noise can be a shock to your system. This meditation can be done sitting cross-legged on
the floor or sitting in a chair with your body erect, feet flat on the floor, and with hands together in your
lap. Let your hands touch together, fingertip to fingertip.
Relax. It is helpful if your spine is straight. You will find it surprisingly easy to relax in an upright position
if you imagine a string tied to the top of your head pulling straight up toward the ceiling.
Take several deep breaths through your nose and exhale through your mouth. Then let your breathing
become steady, rhythmic and relaxed.
Imagine a pure white light coming up through your left foot, up the left side of your body, all the way to
the top of your head, across to the right side of your body, and down the other side. Do this three times.
You can also use this moment to ask to be shown the way to truth, wisdom and understanding.
Repetition is simply the focusing of your mind on a single point. It is an essential part of meditation. It
clears away the mental cobwebs and stills your active conscious mind. You can do repetition with your
eyes open or closed, whichever proves better for you. If you use the eyes open method, fix your gaze on
a single object. For example, a tiny light or candle in a darkened room, a picture, a religious symbol, a
mandala, or the word, “love.” These and many other things have been used successfully as the focal point
of repetition.
A great many people, including myself, have better success in concentration with their eyes closed, visu-
alizing a word, face, object or symbol in their mind’s eye. It can be a religious symbol, a mandala, a flower,
or a peaceful scene in nature such as a still lake. You may wish to focus on a word, a seed thought, or a
mantra that has special meaning to you. One that I have used, with great success, is “I am love.” Simply

STEP EIGHT | MODULE 1
repeat the mantra over and over without letting any other thoughts come into your mind. Whatever
focal point you choose to concentrate on, let it represent your highest spiritual idea, never something
materialistic.
At first your mind will quite likely want to stray. Bring it gently back to the focal point of your concentra-
tion. As it strays again, bring it back again. Almost everyone finds his/her mind much too active to settle
down to a single point at first. But soon you will find your ability to discipline your mind to one point
growing stronger and stronger.
After what seems to be about five to ten minutes or so of repetition, shift gently to receptivity for the
next five to ten minutes. Separate your hands and turn the palms upward in your lap. Keep your body
erect and relaxed. Now let the mind you have been disciplining so vigorously relax. Do not exert any con-
scious effort to think about anything. Just set your mind free. If you did repetition with your eyes open,
you must close them as you go into meditation. At this point you have opened the various consciousness
centers of your being. Remain relaxed and passive, yet alert.
Thoughts and mental images may cross your consciousness. Examine them placidly as they come and go.
You may see images and scenes or hear mental messages. You may also feel unexpected sensations such
as chills or vibrations along your spine, or pressure sensations. Explore them with calm, relaxed interest.
Since, as normal human beings, the only way you have of receiving communication is through your five
senses, it is perfectly natural for any communication to manifest itself to you through one or more of
these channels.
You may find yourself gently rocking back and forth, or side to side, or in a round-and-round motion.
Don’t be disturbed. This is merely a manifestation of your vibratory level raising so as to facilitate inner
communication. In your first few daily concentration-meditation sessions, limit yourself to about twenty
or thirty minutes. Normally, it is not wise to go beyond that length of time.
At the end of your meditation, close both hands into fists and imagine a luminous white light surrounding
you, filling and protecting you. The main idea is that you are learning to place yourself in an environment
of protection, guidance, and control. This can be done in a variety of ways. For example, imagine yourself
in a ball of white light, or in a white balloon, just so long as the white environment totally surrounds you.
This procedure will close down the centers of your consciousness which you have opened during con-
centration and meditation, leaving your inner being protected from outside influences.
This is very important for those who are sensitive. Develop the habit of surrounding yourself with the
white light of protection whenever you feel negativity around you, not just at the time of meditation.

STEP EIGHT | MODULE 1
As you close down, do not close yourself off entirely from other people. What you are doing is protecting
yourself from being affected by any negativity while at the same time radiating love and harmony to
those about you. As a result, you will dissolve the negative vibrations. The white light is your protection;
be sure to use it.
You may also use this phase to visualize yourself achieving any goal you might choose. Or you could sim-
ply visualize yourself whole and healthy, or visualize yourself having achieved a particular goal. If you use
an affirmation during the repetition phase and do a related visualization during this phase, it makes this
meditation even more powerful.
Your Inner Wisdom: After a while meditating you will begin to discover that you have a great deal of
wisdom inside. It is simply a matter of taking the time to listen to what is within. As you do this, your in-
tuition, sensitivity, and alignment with the universe begins to grow. It is as though all the powers of your
mind and the secrets of the universe start to become available to you. You will grow in strength in these
gifts so long as you seek them for service to your fellow man rather than for selfish, material ends.
HEALING
When you have sat in daily meditation for one month or more, you may desire to practice healing medita-
tion. Anyone may be a channel for healing as the power of healing comes from God, the Universal Force,
and not from the individual. All that is required is the sincere desire to help another and healing will be
sent. As time and distance are no obstacle to the healing energy, healing can be channeled to anyone,
anywhere and at any time.
Simply do the meditation as before, except that during the repetition phase, focus upon the person
as being healed already; that is to say doing some activity that shows that they are healthy, and whole
(walking, playing golf, dancing, working, etc.) Concentrate in this way for two or three minutes, then
open your palms, relax and let the healing energy flow through. Do this for another two or three minutes,
and then close down as you normally do.
To channel healing after your regular meditation is particularly advantageous as your rate of vibration is
at its highest level. Consequently, you need only to do the concentration phase a minute or less, and then
proceed into the meditation phase continuously keeping your palms open.
Laying on of hands is another way healing may be channeled. To do so, lay your hands on or over the
area you want to affect and ask that the healing energy be sent through you. Practice in your family and
remember, like anything you do, the more you practice, the better will be the results.

STEP Module 2:
8 Keeping Your Agreements
www.getwsodo.com
www.getwsodo.com
STEP EIGHT | MODULE 2
OVERVIEW
In this lesson, you’re going to learn the true cost of not keeping your agreements. You’ll also learn some
powerful tips on how to keep every agreement you make, so you can cultivate greater self-esteem, confi-
dence, and personal integrity in everything you do.
MAIN TAKEAWAYS
• When you don’t honor your agreements, you’re making something else more important than
following through on the commitment you made.
• Some of the common things that people make more important than their agreements are com-
fort, pleasure, convenience, other people’s approval, or a sense of rebellion.
• When you rebel against someone or something, you are still allowing that person or thing to con-
trol you.
• Not keeping Your agreements COSTS you. It tires you out, robs you of your clarity and integrity,
and lowers your self-esteem. It weakens your power.
List below all the people and institutions with whom you have broken agreements or committed lapses of
integrity. Decide when you will communicate your acknowledgment of this broken agreement to them,
or communicate that you no longer wish to keep this agreement, or negotiate a new time by which you
will complete it. If it is a lapse in integrity, communicate the event plus any way in which you would like to
balance the situation. Check it off as done when you have completed the action or the communication.

9 The Tree of Life Meditation
www.getwsodo.com
www.getwsodo.com
STEP NINE | MODULE 2
OVERVIEW
This meditation is based on the Tree of Life from the Jewish mystical tradition of Kabbalah. It has been
designed to help you tap into the universal source energy and utilize it to increase your spiritual and ener-
getic balance and harmony. It will also support you in bringing your purpose and vision into reality.
MAIN TAKEAWAYS
• According to Kabbalah, your body has certain energy centers, or “sefirot,” which are channels of
the divine creative life force that flows through us all.
• Regular meditation can help you tap into these channels of life force and release any blocks that
might be preventing your energy from flowing freely.
• For best results, meditate daily for 40 days to form new behaviors and habits. If that is not possi-
ble, commit to meditating at least 1-3 times a week for at least one month. The more you medi-
tate and tap into your higher self, the stronger your results will be.
Commit to the number of times you’re able to meditate each week, and choose a time that works for
you. Ideally, it should be the same time every day. Take a moment right now to go to your calendar and
schedule in your meditation times – then honor your commitment to yourself.

9 The Mirror Exercise
www.getwsodo.com
www.getwsodo.com
STEP NINE | MODULE 3
OVERVIEW
The Mirror Exercise is a simple yet powerful way to keep your self-confidence high. It replaces the negative
self-talk that normally dominates our thoughts with positive self-talk that encourages us to be proud of
who we are and what we accomplish each day.
MAIN TAKEAWAYS
• When you take the time to appreciate and love yourself for everything you accomplish each day,
you will naturally feel better about yourself and what you are capable of achieving.
• For best results, be sure to conduct the Mirror Exercise out loud.
• To experience the full benefits, do the Mirror Exercise every day for at least 40 days.
This is one of the most simple yet powerful self-esteem and self-confidence building exercises I know. Its
purpose is to replace the normal negative self-talk that dominates our thoughts with positive, self-affirm-
ing self-talk. It is an exercise that should be performed every night for at least 40 days. It is also something
you can do for life.

STEP NINE | MODULE 3
Every night before going to bed, stand in front of a mirror and appreciate yourself for all that you accom-
plished during the day. Start with a few seconds of looking into the eyes of the person in the mirror – the
mirror image of yourself looking back at you. Then start by saying your name out loud, followed by ap-
preciating yourself (out loud) for the following things:
Maintain eye contact with yourself throughout the exercise. When you are done, end by continuing to
look deep into your own eyes and saying, “I love you” out loud. Then stand there for another few seconds
to really feel the impact of the experience as if you were the one in the mirror who had just listened to all
of this appreciation. The trick during this last part is to not just turn away from the mirror feeling embar-
rassed or thinking of yourself or the exercise as stupid.
“Jack, I want to appreciate you for the following things today. First I want to appreciate you for going to bed on
time last night without staying up too late watching TV so you got up bright and early this morning and had
a really good conversation with Inga. And then you meditated for 20 minutes before you took a shower. You
helped with getting the kids’ lunches together and you ate a healthy low fat, low carbohydrate breakfast. You
got to work on time and led a very good staff meeting with your support team. You did a great job of helping
everyone listen to everybody’s feelings and ideas. And you were great at drawing out the quiet ones. Let’s see.
. . oh, and then you ate a really healthy lunch – soup and salad – and you didn’t have the dessert that was
offered. And you drank the 10 glasses of water that you committed to drinking every day. Congratulations on
that one!
... And you stayed in a good mood all day today. You didn’t let other people’s problems become your problems. It
would have been easy to let Deborah’s complaints get to you, but you didn’t. You were able to not feel personally
responsible for what happened to her. And you didn’t take anything she said personally. Good job! ... And then let’s
see, you finished editing the new staff orientation manual, and you got a really good start on scheduling this sum-
mer’s Train the Trainer Program. And then you filled in your Daily Positive Focus Form before you left work.
Oh, and you appreciated your assistant for all of her contributions for the day. It was great to see how she just lit up.
And when you got home, you spent quality time playing with the kids, especially Christopher, and then you read a
book to all of the kids. That was really special. And now you’re going to bed at a good time again and not staying
up all night surfing the net. You were great today. ... And one more thing—I love you!”
It is not unusual to have a number of reactions the first few times you do this. They include feeling silly,
feeling embarrassed, feeling like crying (or actually crying), generally feeling uncomfortable. Occasion-
ally, people have even reported breaking out in hives, feeling hot and sweaty, or feeling a little light

headed. These are natural and normal reactions as this is a very unfamiliar thing to be doing. We are not
trained to acknowledge ourselves. In fact, we are mostly trained to do the opposite: “Don’t toot your
own horn. Don’t get a swelled head. Don’t get a stuffed shirt. Pride is a sin”. As you begin to act in more
positive and nurturing ways to yourself, it is natural to have physical and emotional reactions as you
release the old negative self-judgments, unrealistic expectations, parental wounds and so forth. If you
experience any of these things—and not all people do—don’t let these things stop you. They are only
temporary and will pass after a few days of doing the exercise.
Note: If you find yourself lying in bed, and you realize you haven’t done the exercise, get out of bed and
do it. The part of looking at your self in the mirror is a very important part of the exercise. Remember: You
will only get as much out of this exercise as you put into it.
One last bit of advice: If you live with someone (spouse, children, roommate, parents), let them know in
advance that you will be doing this exercise each evening for a month or so. You do not want them to
walk in on you while you are doing it and think you have lost it!

10 Accountability Partners
and Mastermind Groups
www.getwsodo.com
www.getwsodo.com
STEP TEN | MODULE 1
OVERVIEW
In this lesson, you’re going to discover the immense power of working with an accountability partner or
mastermind group. You’ll also learn my proven strategies to help ensure that your accountability partner
or mastermind group operates as effectively and efficiently as possible.
MAIN TAKEAWAYS
• An accountability partner is someone you talk to everyday who holds you accountable for taking
the action steps you’ve committed to, while you do the same for them.
• For maximum effectiveness, check in with your accountability partner 5 days a week and keep the
calls short.
• Accountability check-ins can be done over the phone or Skype, or via email. A live call is always
best.
• Mastermind groups connect every two weeks for about an hour (about 10 minutes per person per
call).

When it comes to creating results, two heads are better than one. Follow these guidelines to choose an
accountability partner and hold regular check-ins that help both of you accelerate your progress toward
your goals.
1. Choose an accountability partner who is not a family member or a business partner. The less history
you have with each other, the better.
2. Hold your accountability partner check-ins at least five times a week. You may want to take your
weekends off like I do.
3. Conduct your accountability partner check-ins via phone, Skype, Google Hangouts, or via email. I
personally like to use the phone or video chat for that extra personal connection.
4. Report on the action steps you’ve completed since your last check-in. Simply state whether you
completed them or not – no excuses!
5. Commit to the action steps you plan to complete before the next meeting.
6. Keep your accountability partner check-ins to five minutes max. You don’t want them to become a
hassle or a burden.

Example: Hi John. My name is Jennifer Bentley. I’m a software developer with a new product for AS/400
systems that helps e-commerce companies handle multiple billings and subscriptions. Though I’m just
starting out, I’ve gotten some interest from a number of people in forming a mastermind group that
would help all of us access new resources and discover new solutions and perspectives that we probably
haven’t thought of before. I especially wanted you to be in the group. I believe you’d get a lot of value out
of it and I’m not sure that you have your own mastermind group yet. Can I put you down on my list? The
group would meet every other week to brainstorm on each other’s challenges. We can do it in person, or
the group might decide to meet by phone, Skype or Zoom instead. If you could have 5-6 other prominent
CEO’s working on your company’s challenges or even your personal ones, would that be something you
would set aside an hour a week for? Jim McCutcheon has already agreed to be involved. I’m not sure if
you know him.
Follow the tips below to maximize the effectiveness of your mastermind group.
The ideal size of a mastermind group is 5-6 people. If it is too much smaller, it loses its dynamics. If it is
bigger, it gets unwieldy—meetings take longer, some needs go unmet and personal sharing is mini-
mized, which eventually leads to people dropping out.
Ideally, each mastermind meeting should be conducted weekly or every other week, for one hour, in
person, with all members of the group in attendance. Meetings can also be conducted over the phone.
But each meeting should follow the proven format described below for insuring each participant stays
involved and gets their needs met.
Your group should also assign someone to be the Timekeeper—either the same person each session or
rotate the task amongst the participants. The Timekeeper ensures each portion of the meeting gets its
allotted time, and ensures that all members adhere to their preapproved time to speak.
We recommend that for the first few meetings, each member gets the entire hour to familiarize the oth-
ers with his or her situation, needs and challenges—while the other members brainstorm ways they can
support that person. During later meetings, participants each get a small amount of time usually 8 to 10

STEP TEN | MODULE 1
minutes to update the others, ask for help and get feedback.
Ideally, mastermind meetings should start with a request for the group to be filled and surrounded with
powerful spiritual energy. Members can trade off delivering the invocation. Using whatever spiritual be-
lief structure the reader has, they ask the Universal Force to assist the group with each other’s needs.
A sample invocation that asks God or that Higher Power to be present might be:
“We ask now to be filled and surrounded with light, and our hearts be open to receive guidance from the High-
er Power.”
A good way to bond with others in the group and keep esteem and excitement high is to each share a
brief success story. Even small successes achieved since the last meeting give others in the group the
feeling that “this process is working. It’s something I need to stay involved with.”
While the normal weekly time allotment might be 8 to 10 minutes per person, occasionally one partic-
ipant may need extra time during this week’s session to discuss a particularly difficult situation. During
Step #3, they ask for the amount of extra time they think they’ll need. Others in the group may have their
own challenges that week and need extra time, too. Still others may decide to give up their time entirely,
as they do not have anything to discuss. Using the Timekeeper as referee, each member negotiates for
the amount of time they think they’ll need.
“I just lost my assistant and my receptionist yesterday and I need time to talk about that.”
“Well, my Mom died this week and I need help processing that.”
“I want to read you this new proposal I’ve written and get your feedback on it.”
“Well, I need to find a printing company in the Far East and I don’t know the first thing about how to find
one.”

STEP TEN | MODULE 1
So members negotiate for time. Once the negotiation process is complete and everyone agrees to the
schedule, the meeting begins in earnest. And the Timekeeper keeps everyone on time and on focus.
But be aware: If the Timekeeper is not diligent about keeping members on track, some members won’t
get their needs met and the group will risk losing them as participants. Still others—the dominators or
needy types—may hog the time or turn their brainstorming responses into a personal discourse.
Everyone deserves equal time and equal guidance. It’s the Timekeeper’s job to ensure this.
Step 4: Individual Members Speak While the Group Listens and Brainstorms Solutions
What kind of discussions can you expect during a mastermind meeting? Topics such as:
• I need contacts.
• I need referrals.
• I’m lost at this new aspect of my business.
• I’m looking for an expert to help me develop this idea.
• I need you to consult your network/contact list .
• I need to raise $10,000.
After the allotted time of explanation, discussion and brainstorming, the Timekeeper says, “Time!” and
the group moves on to the next member’s needs.
Discussions can be personal or professional—it doesn’t matter. As long as everyone is getting value,
they’ll stay involved with the group. As long as you’re giving value, everyone will want you to be there.
You’ll find that groups tend to go through phases. They start out fairly business-like, but as people get to
know each other and begin to delve into personal challenges like “My son’s a heroin addict,” or “My wife
and I are having problems,“ they take on a special personal bond. You and the other members can use
the group any way you want.
Once members have had their time to present, discuss, brainstorm and gain feedback, the Timekeeper
asks each member in turn to commit verbally to something they wouldn’t normally commit to if they
weren’t part of the group. The commitment needs to be a stretch.
It could be a result of what they heard from the group that day: “OK, I’m going to make three calls to hire
a new salesperson”, or “I’m going to call John Deerfield at Consolidated and pitch my new product.”
This commitment ensures everyone is continually moving forward, which is the true benefit of a master-
mind group.

Your group might end with a group prayer expressing gratitude. Or you might go around the table with
each member saying one thing they appreciate about another person in the group.
Step 7: Be Accountable
When members assemble the very next week, each member needs to share something related to the
goal they set at the previous meeting. Did each member take action? Did they achieve their goal?
You’ll find the real value in mastermind groups is often the accountability factor—other members check-
ing up on you to make sure you meet your stated commitments. Of course, most people are more pro-
ductive when they have a stated deadline. The reality is if you know you’re going to be asked next week
about the commitment you made today, you’ll take steps to accomplish it by next week’s deadline. It’s
one way to ensure you’ll accomplish a lot more.
Use this journal during your mastermind meetings to boost their effectiveness.

A “Heart Talk” is a powerful communication process that creates a safe environment for a deeper level
of communication and allows people to feel fully heard. Heart Talks build rapport, understanding, and a
deeper sense of connectedness. I strongly encourage you to use this communication tool often in your
life.
MAIN TAKEAWAYS
• In too many business, educational and other settings, there is never an opportunity for feelings
to be expressed and heard, so they build up to the point that people have no capacity to focus on
the business at hand.
• There is too much emotional static in the space. It’s like trying to put more water into a glass that
is already full. There is nowhere for it to go. You must first pour out the old water to make room for
the new water. It is the same with emotions. People usually can’t listen until they have first been
heard.
• Heart Talks open up a space inside of you to be able to listen to and take in what others have to
say.
A Heart Talk is a very structured communication process in which eight agreements are strictly adhered
to in order to create the safety for a deep level of communication to occur without the fear of condem-
nation, unsolicited advice, interruption or being rushed. It is a powerful tool used to surface and release
any unexpressed emotions that could otherwise get in the way of people being totally present to deal
with the business at hand. It can be used at home, in business, in the classroom, with sports teams and in
religious settings to develop rapport, understanding and intimacy.

• at the beginning of a business meeting where two new groups of people are coming together for the
first time after an emotionally stimulating event like a wedding, a divorce, a merger, a massive layoff,
a death, a major athletic loss, an unexpected financial setback or even a tragedy like the terrorist
attacks in New York on 9/11
• on a regular basis at home or in the classroom to create a deeper level of communication and inti-
macy.
A Heart Talk can be conducted with any size group from two to ten people. You’ll want to break a group
larger than ten into smaller groups because if the group is larger than that, the trust and safety factor
tends to diminish, and it can also take up too much time.
The first time you conduct a Heart Talk, start by explaining that there is value in occasionally using a
structure for communication that guarantees a deeper level of listening. The structure of a Heart Talk cre-
ates a safe nonjudgmental space that supports the constructive, rather than the destructive, expression
of feelings—which if left unexpressed can block teamwork, synergy, creativity and intuition, which are
vital to the productivity and success of any venture.
Start by asking people to sit in a circle or around a table. Introduce the basic agreements that include:

If you have plenty of time, a Heart Talk completes naturally when the heart makes a complete circle with-
out anyone having something more to say.
Ask the group to agree to the guidelines, which are very important to make sure the talk does not dete-
riorate and lose its value. Since no one is supposed to talk except for the person holding the object, it is
often best to wait until the completion of the talk to remind people about certain guidelines that need
more attention. Another option is to have the guidelines written down on paper or white board and to
point to them if someone is getting too far off track. Go around the group at least once—with everybody
getting one turn—or set a time frame (say 15 minutes to 30 minutes, longer for more emotionally intense
issues) and keep going around the group until the time runs out or nobody has anything more to say.
You can use any object to pass around—a ball, a paperweight, a book, anything that can be seen by the
other participants. I have seen everything from a stuffed animal (a hospital staff ), a baseball (a college
baseball team), and a football helmet (a state champion football team), to a native-American talking stick
(on a corporate river rafting trip).
One of the most valuable uses of the Heart Talk for me occurred when I was conducting a week-long
training for 120 school administrators in Bergen, Norway. We were about to start our afternoon session
when someone announced that one of the workshop participants had been killed in an automobile
accident during the lunch break. There was massive shock and grief in the room. It would have been
impossible to proceed with the scheduled agenda, so I divided the class into groups of six and taught
them the guidelines for a heart talk. I told them to just keep passing the heart around until everyone in
the group said “I pass” twice in a row, meaning that there was nothing else to be said. The groups talked
and cried for over an hour. People talked about their grief, their own sense of mortality, how precious and
fleeting life really is, how scary life can sometimes be, and how you need to live in the moment because
your future is never guaranteed. We then took a short break and were able to proceed with the scheduled
activities. Whatever emotions there were had been shared. The group was once again ready to focus on
the material I was there to teach.

James owned a small family business that had supported him and his family for years. His wife and two
sons, both married with children, also worked as employees in the company. At least once a week they
would all gather together for a large meal, and James would do his best to unify this growing family.
James hoped that when he retired, the family business would survive and continue to provide a living for
everyone in the extended family.
While it looked like an excellent plan on the surface, there had always been rivalry and competition be-
tween the two sons, and when both their wives started working in the business, things started coming
apart at the seams. Resentments over little things were pushed down to supposedly keep the peace, but
they would resurface later in sarcastic comments and unexpected outbursts of anger. When the two sons
actually threw a couple of punches at each other, James realized they all needed to talk and clear the air.
But he was afraid that the situation could become even more explosive unless there were some powerful
ground rules present—so he decided to use the structure of a Heart Talk.
Sitting in a large circle after their weekly family meal, the group was unusually quiet not knowing what to
expect. James started by getting everyone to agree to the eight agreements and the structure of the talk.
At first the heart was passed without much to say. The second time around one of the sons expressed his
anger, and when the heart reached the other son, even greater hostility surfaced—yet it was clear no one
was going to violate the guidelines, stomp out of the room or throw something. It wasn’t an easy talk,
and there were times you could tell everyone would have preferred any other activity—even if it were
doing the dishes. But as the heart kept going around the circle, everyone began to have the experience
that he or she had been heard, and the hostility began to dissipate.
Then one of the son’s wives started crying and shared that she was at her wit’s end. With all the friction
in the family and in the business she couldn’t take it any more. She said something had to change. At that
moment, something released, and there wasn’t a dry eye in the group. As the heart continued around
and around, the sadness was soon replaced by an acknowledgment of their love for each other and the
things they were grateful for.
Though it will never be known for sure, James believes that Heart Talk is most likely the key thing that
saved his business, his family and his sanity.
My friend Marshall Thurber is a trainer and management consultant who has been teaching people how
to build and protect their wealth for over thirty years. Recently he has been working with Lee Brower of
Empowered Wealth to help super wealthy families learn how to properly steward their money and con-
sciously pass it on to the next generation. Marshall uses a simple variation of the Heart Talk, which he
calls the What I Feel Like Saying exercise, with amazing effectiveness.

I start every business meeting by asking everyone present to first respond to this question: What do you need
to say in order to let go and be here? One of the keys to the success of the process is that no one can comment
on what is being said. Everyone must wait until the speaker is finished speaking, say thank you and then move
on to the next person in the group. I can tell by the energy if we need to go around a second time. Sometimes
we may go around the group a couple of times. People can pass if they are already clear and present.
I have been working with a very wealthy family that has hundreds of millions of dollars, but is totally dysfunc-
tional. The children were not talking to their parents and were punishing them by not letting their children talk
to their grandparents. The enmity, the absolute inability to communicate, and the lack of cooperation were
costing the family tens of millions of dollars!
I sat them all down and said, “Look, it’s clear that everyone has a lot of emotional baggage from the past, and
there are a lot of important issues that are unresolved, but if we can’t come together and resolve them in the
present, there is no reason to go any further in trying to create a new and better future.”
When I proposed that we do the “What I feel like saying” exercise, everyone thought it was going to be a total
waste of time, but I finally convinced them to do it . . . and we ended up doing it for four hours! And it wasn’t
just one round; it was round after round after round. But when those four hours were up, they were in love with
each other, to the point where they have now agreed to work with the team at Empowered Wealth to create
a new, more conscious way of working together with their family’s wealth. It’s far from perfect yet, but the
family went from an absolute inability to communicate to getting totally present. And out of that level of total
presence came two powerful family agreements— family first and together we’re better. That’s all we did, but
it took the entire day. If we hadn’t done the “What I feel like saying” exercise, there would have been no hope
for this family. None whatsoever!
The miracle is that once you get present, underneath all of the anger, resentment and distrust, there is nothing
but love. And from a place of love, you can create anything.

WRAP-UP: Living Your Dream
OVERVIEW
As you continue putting these principles to work in your life, remember that the system always works if
you work the system. Action is required to get results! Also remember that as you continue to grow and
evolve through doing this work, so will your wants, needs, and desires evolve. That’s why it’s important
for you to revisit your life purpose and your vision regularly to make sure they still resonate with what you
want your ideal life to be like.
MAIN TAKEAWAYS
• Major improvements take time. Your goal shouldn’t be overnight success, but consistent forward
progress. If you keep moving steadily in the direction of your goals, you WILL achieve them!
• Remember to take 100% responsibility for everything you do. You are responsible for your
thoughts, your images, and your actions – and it is these things that will determine your results in
every situation.
• Continue to ask for what you want and need and reject rejection. Remember that “no” means
“next!” and that every no takes you one step closer to a YES.
• Review your goals often and stick to your timelines. Use the “chunk it down” method to break
huge goals into achievable steps so it’s easier for you to stay focused on your goals.
• Become an “inverse paranoid.” Assume that everything is meant to be and will work out in your
favor – and it will!
• Keep stretching. Everything you want but don’t have is just outside your comfort zone.
• Obstacles are put in your path to help you grow. It’s like lifting weights. You won’t get stronger if
there’s no resistance.
• Practice gratitude and appreciation every day. You will attract more to be grateful for!
• Remember that the ultimate goal of life is MASTERY. Success is a journey, not a destination – and
it’s who you become in the process that matters.
