Taking a Race Car Toward Your Goals

By Boaz · Comments (1)

CLICK HERE TO “TAKE ME TO THE NEXT LEVEL”

After a recent speaking engagement in Indianapolis, I visited the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. If you drive through a tunnel, under the race track, you come to the infield where you’ll find the Motor Speedway’s museum.

If you ever visit the Speedway, you must go to this amazing museum. Inside you’ll find on display many of the cars that have won The Indy 500 during the past 100 years.

The Indianapolis 500 is the biggest sporting event in the world. Over 300,000 people come to view the race each year. For 2 1/2 hours they watch a lot of drivers go all out, at over 200 miles an hour, to win the race.

They don’t just try. They make every effort. They go all out for those 2 1/2 hours.

What if you and I were to go all out concerning our goals? Whether it deals with our health, our relationships, our finances, or our careers, what if we were to focus for 30 days on going all out, making every effort to achieve a certain goal?

I think we could win that very important race in our lives to achieve more. As the old saying goes, “Whatever the mind focuses on, expands.” Let’s focus on an important goal for a set period of time and see what happens.

I hope to see you Wednesday morning on Lifetime Television on The Balancing Act, 7-8 a.m. Easter and Pacific time. Coming, October 7-8, my Prosperity Summit with Mike Richardson in Newport Beach.

You are special. You are unique. You are destined for greatness. You are a Champion!

My Journey to Jerusalem

By Boaz · Comments (1)
Sunday, July 17th, 2011

CLICK HERE TO “TAKE ME TO THE NEXT LEVEL”

The other day, when I was somewhere on the East Coast, about to do a speaking engagement, I thought about setting goals. What if one of my goals – whether I’m a history buff, or a very religious person – what if one of my goals was to visit Jerusalem.

Let’s say that was one of my goals. And let’s say that I could just snap my fingers and suddenly be there? That’s exactly what I did that morning, just to see what might happen.

Shortly thereafter I found myself in Jerusalem. But, wait a minute. I was born in Israel. The Jerusalem I found myself in that day didn’t look like the Jerusalem I was used to.

The Jerusalem I was used to had a lot of historical and religious sites. Many of the buildings in the city were built out of the golden stone that is found in the nearby quarries. That’s what the real Jerusalem in Israel looks like. I was born there. I know.

But where was I? Wait a minute. I found myself in Jerusalem, Rhode Island. A beautiful fishing village in the southern edge of the state named Jerusalem.

Now what was wrong with my goal that day? I said I wanted to go to Jerusalem. But I wasn’t specific enough. I didn’t say which one. I didn’t realize that there was more than one. But there are.

Isn’t this a lesson about life? We set goals but we’re not specific. People say, “I want to be rich. I want to have a nice home.” They don’t write down specific details about the goal and then they get whatever the universe throws at them.

So, if you have a goal, write it down in specific details and you could end up at the right location as opposed to the wrong one. I did get to Jerusalem that day, but not the one I was looking for.

I want to make sure you get to the one you’re looking for.

I hope to see you Wednesday morning on Lifetime Television on The Balancing Act, 7-8 a.m. Easter and Pacific time. For speaking events, I can be reached at 619-723-3007.

You are special. You are unique. You are destined for greatness. You are a Champion!

Do You Have A Someday

CLICK HERE TO “TAKE ME TO THE NEXT LEVEL”

Since words are previews of things to come, I got to thinking the other day about the importance of words.

I was sitting on the porch of my apartment in Newport Beach, California, and glancing out on some beautiful surroundings. There are so many trees in my complex that the greenery creates a unique level of peacefulness.

Sometimes there are no words to describe the peacefulness that I feel here.

And, speaking about words, there is one word that all of us use, and I’ve been as guilty as anyone in the past of using this one word too much, and it doesn’t really help us.

The one word I’m talking about is SOMEDAY. We use it too much.

In my apartment complex there is a beautiful hiking trail. “Someday I’ll go take a hike on that trail.”

A couple of buildings over there is a exercise room. “Someday I will go over there and exercise regularly.”

“Someday I’ll get a hold of my finances and I’ll pay in cash and I’ll save some money. Someday I’ll pay off my debts.”

In my office, there is a calendar. I checked and I did not see a day of the week on that calendar called “Someday.” There is Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. There is no “Someday.”

So, when we use the word “Someday,” the signal to the subconscious mind is that there is no commitment. Since there is no day of the week called “Someday,” there is no need for a commitment to a goal. Thus, there probably won’t be any achievement of an important goal.

May I suggest that we change from using the word “Someday” to using specific words like Today, This Week, This Month, and This Year.

So, instead of saying, “Someday I’ll take a hike down that trail in my complex,” how about “I’ll take a hike right after I finish writing this newsletter.”

And “Tomorrow morning, first thing, I’m going to go over to the exercise room in my complex and I’m going to exercise for 30 minutes on the treadmill.”

And “This week I will set a monthly budget that I will work toward so I can spend less than I earn.”

And “This month I will begin to pay off my debts.”

And “This year I will lose 20 pounds.”

The mind responds to specific words: Today, This Week, This Month, This Year. So, I encourage you, for things that you have wanted to change about you, to start using the words Today, This Week, This Month, This Year instead of Someday.

I believe that you’ll be amazed how much more productive you will be.

So, before I go off on my hike down the trail, which I’ve committed to you to do, let’s declare together that we no longer have a Someday on our calendar.

You are special. You are unique. You are destined for greatness. I see it in you – you are a Champion! Have a powerful day!

Where’s Your Ticket Taking You

By Boaz · Comments (0)
Monday, August 30th, 2010

CLICK HERE TO “TAKE ME TO THE NEXT LEVEL”

After a seminar in Bonita Springs, Florida, I found myself waiting for my flight back to the West Coast. I was at the Ft. Myers Airport.

It dawned on me that an airplane ticket has a lot to do with goal setting.

If I were to walk up to the ticket counter at the airport, put down some money, and ask for a ticket, the agent would probably say, “Where to?”

If I were to say, “It doesn’t matter. Just give me a ticket.”

The agent would, once more, say, “Where to?”

I would not get a ticket because I didn’t specify where I wanted to go. On the other hand, if I know exactly where I want to go, like that day in Ft. Myers, I get a ticket.

Life is the same way. If we don’t identify specific goals, we’re not going to get a ticket to go anywhere we like. We have to write down specific goals, exactly where we want to go, and then life will give us a ticket to the right destination.

If you don’t have written goals for the next 12 months, then I suggest you write down some specific goals that you want to accomplish in the next year. If you don’t believe the goals you’ve written down, then lower them a little bit.

What you see is what you’ll get.

And then identify a specific reward as to what you’re going to do for yourself once you accomplish certain goals. Then I suggest you get a picture of that reward, put it on a card about the size of a business card, laminate it and carry it with you everywhere you go.

My picture happens to be of an island off of Belize, in Central America, called Caye Chapel. I’ve been there. I was flown there by a Houston company to speak for all of their employees. It is just incredible.

Caye Chapel is about a 10 minute flight out of Belize City. It’s a half mile wide by one and a half miles in length. Only 40 guests at any one time. The food is exquisite. The snorkeling is amazing. The fishing is fun. And the atmosphere is so very peaceful.

So, I carry a picture of Caye Chapel with me because that’s my next reward. I’m going back to Caye Chapel. On the other side of my card I’ve got very specific affirmations of things I want to accomplish in the next 12 months.

Can you see the value of doing this? I have a picture of my reward on one side of my card and specific written goals on the other side. Get one of these for yourself and watch what it will do for your future.

You’ll be able to walk up to the counter of life and get a ticket to literally anywhere you want to go.

You are special. You are unique. You are destined for greatness. I see it in you. You are a Champion!

Remodeling Your Attitude

Sunday, August 22nd, 2010

CLICK HERE TO “TAKE ME TO THE NEXT LEVEL”

After a recent speaking engagement in Baltimore, and before flying back to the West Coast, I stopped by the beautiful harbor in that city.

One of the great attractions in the harbor is the U.S.S. Constellation, a great example of the tall ships of the past.

An amazing thing happened in Baltimore a few years ago. The entire harbor was remodeled into an incredible tourist attraction. There are many shops, theatres, and restaurants. The people of Baltimore did an incredible job of remodeling their waterfront.

I figure that all of us, at one time or another, including me, need to remodel our attitude.

When there are challenging times, as many people are having right now with the economy, it’s time to remodel one’s attitude.

I was brought up in a culture that, no matter what happens, no matter what difficulties you may have, you get yourself right back up and you find a way to get things moving. You remodel your attitude.

It’s not I hope or I wish. It’s I CAN.

So, my mother taught me: The glass is broken. The milk is spilled. I don’t want to have a pity party. If you do, you’re on your own. But, if you want to make plans to move ahead. If you want to find new ways to improve your situation, she said, I’m with you.

If you’re going through some challenging financial times right now, then may I suggest that you remodel your attitude. Realize that attitude is everything.

So, write an affirmation that you would say the first thing in the morning and the last thing at night. An affirmation that says, “I am a positive person. I have a great attitude. I see great things happening in my life. I see my financial situation improving dramatically.”

Say that the first thing every morning and the last thing every night. Watch what happens in about 30 days. Suddenly your mind will open up to new possibilities – “Well, maybe I can.”

That way you will look for opportunities and you will recognize them when they come. If all we do is go around saying things aren’t working for us, we will literally close our eyes to good things that will come to us.

So, isn’t it time that you remodeled your attitude like the people in Baltimore remodeled their harbor? You could sail into a wonderful new future.

You are special. You are unique. You are destined for greatness. I see it in you. You are a Champion!

Are You Programming Yourself For Success

By Boaz · Comments (0)
Sunday, August 8th, 2010

CLICK HERE TO “TAKE ME TO THE NEXT LEVEL”

On a recent speaking trip to Rochester, New York, I had an opportunity to visit the George Eastman House. Yes, the George Eastman who created Kodak – the films, the cameras and so much more.

Just a few miles south of downtown Rochester is a beautiful house, where he lived, which has been turned into a museum.

The reason I’m talking about George Eastman is the following: I believe that, when he created his company, and developed certain unique processes for developing film, creating the Instamatic camera, and so forth, I believe he programmed his brain, his mind, for success.

And that’s why he achieved such worldwide acclaim.

But, too many people, and I’ve been as guilty of it in the past as anyone, are programming their minds for failure. Whenever we go around saying things that don’t help us, we’re programming our minds for failure.

Examples: “I can’t get any breaks. I can’t get my health to be in good shape. I can’t get ahead with money. I can’t get out of debt. I can’t start a business of my own.”

Those are all thoughts that go into the brain and program us for failure. Then, when we see any indication to prove one of those thoughts, we say, “Look, I told you that I never get any breaks.” And that is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

So, no matter where you are in life right now, no matter what your condition is with you health, your finances, or your relationships, you have the power to change those things for the better by starting to declare what you want and stopping to declare what you don’t want.

It’s like putting good software into your computer. You’re going to get good results. Bad software ends up in bad results.

If you think that you have been saying things to yourself that keep you from moving ahead, and thus programming your mind for failure, let’s turn those thoughts around.

It’s just a matter of turning certain thoughts around. If you want to get out of debt, just write an affirmation that says, “It’s easy for me to get out of debt.”

If you want to save money, “It’s easy for me to save money.” Want to create a great relationship? “I create great relationships in my life.” If it’s business, “I’m able to succeed in business.”

Just read those affirmations the first thing every morning and the last thing every night. Don’t analyze them. Just read them out loud. Give me at least 30 days of you programming your mind for success and I believe you’ll be amazed.

Incredible things happen when we program our minds in the right direction. And I think you’re going to be doing that right now. And, like George Eastman, I believe you’ll be amazed with what develops!

You are special. You are unique. You are destined for greatness. I see it in you. You are a Champion!

****************************************************

Since children are barraged by so much negative each day, wouldn’t it be valuable to give them a diet of positive thoughts? That’s what my new daily CD for children, The “30 Day Can Do Program for Kids,” does.

How Do You Focus A Kayak

By Boaz · Comments (0)
Sunday, August 1st, 2010

CLICK HERE TO “TAKE ME TO THE NEXT LEVEL”

The last time I experienced being a kayak was in Israel, on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, when I was 8 years old.

Louise, a good friend of mine who lives right on Newport Harbor, in Newport Beach, California, re-introduced me recently to the great fun of kayaking.

There is a lesson about how one should row a kayak because it correlates to us setting goals in life.

When Louise and I took her two kayaks across Newport Harbor, she told me the following: “Kayaking is like life. You need a strong core. You need your belly button pointed toward the front of the kayak. That way you stay on balance all the time. Because, if you don’t, and you turn, it’s a fast lesson. You’re in the water. You’re wet.”

Isn’t that the same thing about life. When people take their eye off the goal, they can suddenly tip over and figuratively they can go under water.

Louise has been kayaking a long time and, since she keeps her belly button aimed toward the front of the kayak, she keeps going and she does it safely.

She has never fallen into Newport Harbor. She stated: “If you fall into Newport Harbor, the seals come after you.”

Again, just like life, there are sometimes figurative sharks that can come after us if we fall in the water.

So, this message is all about you setting goals and identifying exactly what you want.

During the current economic challenges, too many people are concerned about the “HOW”. If you’ve been a reader of this column for any length of time, you realize that I want you to focus on the “WHY” – a reward – a reason for you to do better.

If it’s a weekend trip away, or whatever you want to reward yourself with when you go to the next level, get a picture of it. Look at it the first thing every morning and the last thing every night.

That’s figuratively like you having your belly button pointed toward the front of the kayak. If you don’t, you could topple over. And, whenever you have a difficult moment, I would suggest that you get that picture out and just look at it. Refocus. “That’s why I’m working hard.”

I want you to achieve greatness. It’s not rocket science. You just simply have to identify something you can get excited about, get a picture of it, and look at it every day.

Don’t worry about the HOW. When the WHY is big enough, the HOW doesn’t matter.

You are special. You are unique. You are destined for greatness. Keep your belly button pointed forward and you’ll achieve great things. 

Have a powerful week!

How to See Your Goals Clearly and Solve Problems

By Boaz · Comments (0)
Monday, June 7th, 2010

CLICK HERE TO “TAKE ME TO THE NEXT LEVEL”

Sometimes, when we are surrounded by challenges, it seems very difficult to see a way out. It’s as if we’re surrounded by heavy fog and we don’t know which way to go.

This concept was brought home in a wonderful story that Peter, a subscriber to this program, shared with me in a recent e-mail. I’ll let him tell you what happened…
“Thanks for your excellent piece on changing your perspective. It reminds me that I learned the same lesson as a youngster…

Many years ago I took a long sailing trip with some of my sailing buddies. It was a hardy sort of trip starting in Labrador, sailing around icebergs and finishing up the St. Lawrence Valley north west of Quebec City.

We had a lot of adventure in this trip and those stories could fill a few more emails, but it is the last day of the trip that fits with the theme of perspectives.

On the last morning of the trip, my best friend and I were alone on the boat as the others had disembarked at a port more convenient for land connections than the port where we were to leave the boat.

That morning we were in a thick fog in a part of the St. Lawrence that is full of small islands and shoals and is also in the shipping channel.

GPS hadn’t been invented and we didn’t have any electronic navigation equipment on the boat except for a depth sounder. We were doing our navigation the old way. Well, we got disoriented in the fog and we started to panic. We could hear fog horns and sea gulls. Both warnings of approaching hazards.

Fog horns meant a big cargo ship or a land obstruction and sea gulls meant the shore or beach. The depth sounder was all over the map because of the difficult water we were in.

We had changed direction so many times in panic that we had no idea where we were on the charts. We were at a loss until my friend realized that if he climbed the mast, he might get above the fog and have a clear view of our location.

Well, that was the solution. From high up on the mast my friend could see exactly where to go next and we both learned an important lesson on perspective.”

Isn’t life sometimes exactly like Peter’s dilemma in that boat? Sometimes we just need to get a different view of our circumstances.

Sometimes we just need to focus on doing one productive thing without trying to solve a number of problems all at one time.

One question that has helped me greatly in the past, when I wasn’t sure what to do about a problem, is as follows:

“What is the most productive thing I should be doing right now?”

Then, go do that one thing. When done, ask yourself the same question again and do something else that is productive.

Before you know it, you may find yourself at the top of the mast and things might look a whole lot clearer.

Turning Your Driving Ambition Into Solid Goals

By Boaz · Comments (0)
Monday, May 17th, 2010

CLICK HERE TO “TAKE ME TO THE NEXT LEVEL”

I recently conducted two seminars in the Dallas area and had a free afternoon between events.
Since both of my children were adopted from the Edna Gladney Home in Ft. Worth, I took a drive to go by there. After that, I drove to the northern side of Ft. Worth to visit the old stockyards.

They do something at the Ft. Worth Stockyards that isn’t done anywhere else in the world. Twice a day, at 11:30 a.m. and then again at 4:00 p.m., they have a “cattle drive”.

That’s right. A “cattle drive”. A bunch of cowboys lead 16 longhorn steers down Exchange Avenue for everyone to see what it was like in the Old West.

As I was watching that cattle drive that day, I thought about the correlation between a cattle drive and our goals in life. Most people have no written goals and they eventually wonder “what happened?”

What if, in the Old West, cowboys conducted cattle drives with no specific goal. They would probably just let the cattle wonder off in any direction. They had to have specific goals and specific plans on how to accomplish their mission. Otherwise, failure was assured.

Thus, if you have not written down specific goals for the next five years of your life, shouldn’t this be your “driving ambition” right now? I think so!

Write down specific goals of how you want your life to be five years from now. Where will you live? What type of house or condo? What will you be driving? What do you want your state of health to be? How do you want your most important relationships to be?

Then divide those goals by 5 and define what portions of those goals you want to accomplish in the next 12 months. A further step would be to divide your 12 month goals into portions you want to accomplish in the next 30 days.

Then, like the cattle moving down Exchange Avenue one step at a time, get started on your short-term goals (for the next 30 days) and take one step at a time.

It’s important to actually “see and believe” your short-term, 30 days goals. If you don’t see and believe them, lower the expectations until you get to a point where you say “anybody could do that”. That’s when you’ll believe and achieve those short-term goals.

In time, many short-term goals, accomplished one after another, lead to the achievement of really big goals.

Be sure to identify some sensible rewards along the way as you achieve each goal. That way your mind will get the idea that good things happen when you make a concerted effort to achieve important goals.

Like the cattle drive I saw that day at the old Ft. Worth Stockyards, let’s drive your future in the right direction, with written goals and small initial steps.

Isn’t it time that we “steer” things toward a great future?

Bridging Your Goals

By Boaz · Comments (0)
Monday, April 5th, 2010

The other day, when I was conducting a series of seminars in Connecticut, I took a detour off the main highway to find the Comstock Bridge.

Located near Colchester, Connecticut, this is one of the few remaining covered bridges in the Northeastern part of the United States.

Built in 1873, the Comstock Bridge spans the Salomon River, just north of Route 16. It served travelers on the main road between Colchester and Middletown for nearly sixty years, until a new concrete bridge was built downstream in 1932.

The Comstock Bridge was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.

As I stood by that wonderful bridge I came to realize that bridges can symbolize our journey through life. They can exemplify our goals. Where we are is one side of the bridge and, where we want to go, can be the other side.

Most people don’t achieve what they want in life because they’re spending too much time standing on one side of the bridge. They think. They analyze. “It’s a long way across this bridge,” they ponder. “I’ve got a big goal, but it could be tough to get to the other side,” they further analyze.

The important thing about any goal is to break it down to manageable and believable pieces. Too many people set goals that are too big, mentally building a long span to “bridge” the gap. Thus, they remain on one side of the bridge, literally frozen in their tracks.

It’s fine to set big goals, to think BIG. However, if we don’t break those goals down to believable steps, we’re never going to get across that bridge.

So, let’s discuss how we can break down a goal and thus get across that bridge to where we want to be.

Let’s say that one of my goals is to lose some weight. For the sake of this discussion, let’s say that I need to lose 40 pounds. And let’s say that we’re talking about this on the first day of a new month.

You ask me, “Boaz, can you see yourself losing 40 pounds this month?” I say, “No way!” You ask, “How about 30?” I say, “Nope”. You ask, “What about 20, 10, or 5 pounds?” I say, “Anybody can lose 5 pounds!”
That’s my goal.

What I see is what I’ll get. Too many people set goals that are too high, they don’t see themselves accomplishing those goals, and thus they don’t take the first step to cross that bridge.

Thus, since I agreed that anyone could lose 5 pounds, my affirmation for the month would read like this: “It’s __(the date at the end of the month)__. This month I lost at least 5 pounds and I’m excited.” What we have here is a DATE, a GOAL, and an EMOTION.

I would then read that affirmation the first thing each morning and the last thing each night – the two times my subconscious mind is most open to suggestion.

It’s amazing what will happen by the end of the month. My subconscious mind will help me achieve that goal. What if I lost 5 1/2 pounds by the end of the month? I would look like a bigger champion then I thought. The odds are that I could set a similar goal for next month and accomplish that one too.

Taking small believable steps, one at a time, can get any of us across that bridge to the other side. Let’s not let any more water under our bridge without achieving some goals that are important in our lives.
