New and Improved Way to Create the Future You Want

Sometimes a new idea comes along that turns all the old models of thinking upside down. We like to think 'Go for No' did that for fear of rejection. Well, now here is new way to simply ask a new kind of question that can immediately change your life.

A friend of ours, author Noah St. John, has just released his new book from Hay House, The Book of Afformations: Discovering The Missing Piece to Abundant Health, Wealth, Love, and Happiness and it’s an amazing read. (We've personally used Noah's method and it works.)

Noah tells the story of how he invented Afformations one morning in 1997. He was in the shower when he asked himself a question that changed his life: Why are we trying to change our lives saying statements we don’t believe when the human mind responds automatically to something even more powerful?  Here are just a few of the remarkable, real-life stories from people around the world who have used Noah’s Afformations Method to change their lives…

1) Sam and Shirley from Phoenix had been trying to sell their home for over a month with no luck. After a friend told them about Afformations, they started afforming that their house would be sold at the right price. Less than 24 hours later, a couple made an offer on their home, and Sam and Shirley got the price they were looking for.

2) Chris, a finance expert from Canada, had never been able to raise large amounts of money. After using Afformations and listening to Noah St. John’s iAfform Audios for less than 3 weeks, Chris closed his first million dollar client.

3) Michael from Germany was a chronic procrastinator. He and his wife Silvia had decided to get a divorce. In fact, the divorce papers were on the desk waiting to be signed. At the last moment, Michael decided to share Noah’s teaching of Afformations with Silvia. Something switched. They decided not to get a divorce, are best friends again, and share their list of Afformations with each other every day.

4) Amy was having constant chest pains and panic attacks due to crushing debt and mounting financial pressure. Every day, she considered suicide just to be free from the pain. A friend told her about Noah’s Afformations System, and Amy read it. That very night, she slept well for the first time in nearly a year. The feelings of panic, anxiety, and overwhelm left her, and she never considered suicide again.

5) Michael was very dissatisfied with his job. He often wondered why he bothered to come into work at all. Then he heard about Afformations and started using them. A few weeks later, Michael approached his company’s CEO with a proposal for a new position. The proposal was accepted and Michael created his own dream job at more than twice his original salary.

6) Jody was a talented singer/songwriter who was facing enormous medical bills as a result of a long illness. She was working long hours in a dental office to pay the bills. She became so exhausted, she didn’t have the time or energy to express her true gifts. Jody attended Noah’s seminar and heard him teach about Afformations. It was one of the biggest Aha! moments of her life. She started using Afformations and is now an award-winning, full-time musician.

These are all great stories but the better question is... what story amazing will you create using Afformations?

Women's Secrets to Failing Greatly

A Go for No! Woman has a lot to balance. Here are her keys for success with NO!
She...
Gives herself the opportunity to pursue her goals and dreams.
Owns her failures knowing that failures are part of her journey to success.
Focuses on being assertive and stops worrying about being perceived as pushy.
Obtains and increases her 'no's' ultimately increasing her yeses and building her business.
Remembers that she is on a mission and uses that as fuel to 'go for no.'
Neutralizes her emotional reaction not allowing it to define her or ruin her day.
Opens her mind, always learning, knowing that her growth is key to her achievement.
Works through fear, doing things that are outside her comfort zone.
Overcomes inertia and takes action when she sees opportunity.
Manages her time so that she can 'go for no' and also take personal time for herself.
Allows herself to be who she is without internal criticism of who she thinks she should be.
Notices (even if it takes a while) that she is - as it turns out - a pretty awesome woman who deserves all life has to offer and that she has the power to make those things happen!

Embracing Rejection Increases Your Opportunities!

When you embrace 'no' and allow yourself to explore opportunities, experiences, business deals, sales... all with a potential rejection, your opportunities for success increase as well. Because we've all been programmed to believe in chasing 'success' we tend to go for the sure thing. You what the sure thing is? Usually the safest thing too. As our friend Randy Gage says, "Risky is the New Safe." Risk your ego... embrace failure... rejection... and potential no's for bigger dreams, a new world, and a much better pay off!

Learn from the Negatives!

Step Five How to Deal with Failure

So, in a recap here are the first four steps for dealing with failure...
 1) Stay Calm.
2) Look for the Learning.
3) Shift into the New Model of Failure.
4) Forget About Other People.

It may sound cliche but the final step, #5 is: Try Again.

Thomas Edison was ruthless in his experimentation famously saying,  “I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.”

The only way to parlay failures into future successes is to follow the first four steps and then to try again!

Step Four for How to Deal With Failure

So far I've covered the first two steps to dealing with failure... And they are: 1) Stay Calm. 2) Look for the Learning. 3) Shift into the New Model of Failure... Step Four is to Forget About Other People.

Imagine if you were the last person on the planet... you know the scenario right? You wake up and literally it's just you or you and your significant other or spouse and everyone else is dead or simply gone. When Richard and I have discussed this scenario (on the off chance that it should happen we like to know we've at least and one conversation about it) we decide that we'd pretty much run amok and do whatever we want.  We were a little sad that there would no one at our favorite restaurants to cook our food.

Now if this happened since no one else is around, their opinions of you and your success or failure really don't matter too much anymore do they? That's the mental place you must get to right now.

A couple years ago I blogged about my favorite rule.  It's from a book called 'Olivia Joules and the Overactive Imagination' by Helen Fielding; the same writer who did the Bridget Jones series.

Olivia is a great character and I fell in love with a list she calls upon throughout the book called, "Rules for Living." These rules span all facets of a woman's life including the very important Rule #3: Never change a hair cut or color before an important event. (I can personally attest to this rule having broken it myself.) Anywhoo...

Then there is Rule #2. My favorite. It's the one I knew deep down but was reminded of it and I have gone back to this rule over and over and over in my life. Here it is: No one is thinking about you. They're thinking about themselves, just like you.

When it comes to dealing with failure, you must forget about other people. When you do, your suffering, embarrassment, fear will almost disappear entirely allowing you to quickly move to step #5!
