Modeling Success

If you would like to achieve success really quickly in any endeavor, consider taking a powerful little short-cut known as modeling.
First think of someone you know or have seen who is already achieving success in the same area you would like to improve in. This person will serve as your model.
To start with you need to analyze exactly what it is that person is actually doing to produce the results you would like to produce. Once you have analyzed and understand what your model does, you can work at doing the same things. By imitating their physiology you will send the same signals to your brain as they send to theirs.
The modeling approach is sometimes referred to as ‘fake it till you make it’ but there is nothing fake about it. You are simply using a scientific approach to duplicate their thinking process. The closer you can imitate their physiology the easier it will be to create the same thought patterns.
Here are some specific things to notice about them:
* Use of Vocabulary and Tonality

* General Image and Attitude

* Body Language including Posture, gestures and Facial Expressions

Once you have identified how your model is making use of the above characteristics, you simply role play. Act as if you actually were that person or as if you were trying to convince someone else that you are.
This approach is something like creating a stage-persona. The creation of that winning persona is much easier if you can identify and imitate a real person.
You will be amazed at how easy it is to produce the results you desire almost immediately with this technique. If you feel self conscience because you think that others will recognize your charade, don’t worry, nobody will know what you are doing. You will not be seen as an impersonator; instead you will be attributed as actually having the personality, energy and charisma of the person you are modeling.
By the way, in the picture the lady on the left is the real Marilyn, but how sexy and desirable do you think the other two ladies feel?
Eventually, those new result producing behaviors will be programmed into your own personality. You will have adopted the very same thought process and be producing similar results. Then you will be the one others want to model.

The Way to Program yourself for Success

Have you ever heard about how hypnotists can make people do things like quit smoking or feel less pain? From what I’ve read, the way it works is the hypnotist puts a suggestive message in your subconscious. I’ve never tried it before personally, but they say when you wake up it feels like there’s a voice in the back of your head that encourages you or discourages you do to do a particular activity.

A more technical term for this is “subliminal programming”. It means exactly what it sounds like – programming the brain on a subconscious level. Subliminal programming is widely used today not just in hypnotism, but in self-empowerment and goal-setting. There are many gurus and workshops around today that teach people how to do this. Has anyone every tried this? Does it really work?

The thing with those workshops is they’re usually pretty expensive. If you’re a little skeptical about the whole thing, you might want to try it out first at home. There are software packages now that can teach you the same techniques without a live instructor.

One piece of software available is Sculptor 3 made by AffirmWare. This software program is supposedly like having Dr. Phil in your house. It’s your very own personal self-empowerment coach that focuses on affirmations, subliminal programming, visualizations and goal-setting.

The concept is basically like this – your present reality is something that you project from your own thinking. So if you’re a positive thinker, they you will see the world as positive and always see opportunities. If you’re a negative thinker, then you tend to always see things in terms of shortcoming and barriers. Now, what if there was a way to control your thinking? Would that automatically result in a change in your environment?

AffirmWare’s Sculptor 3 says yes, you can change your thinking by constantly bombarding yourself with positive affirmations. Actually, I’ve read that some athletes practice visualization techniques to fine-tune their skills. Sculptor 3 does the same thing, helping you visualize your goals and build confidence to achieve those goals.

Sculptor 3 has an interesting system where you have to finish sentences after your chosen affirmation. As you complete your sentences, your mind usually tries to create opposing thoughts to negate your affirmations. But with Sculptor 3 to back you up, you can start practicing how to counter-attack those bad thoughts with more good thoughts. It is this skill, learning how to break through your personal barriers that Sculptor 3 is all about.

In addition to the software you get some other free stuff. You get a subliminal computer program that flashes pre-selected or custom-made subliminal messages on your computer. You get screensavers, a free e-book called “It Works”, “The Science of Getting Rich” mp3s, and 26 health reports.

In conclusion, if you’re interested in trying out subliminal programming, you can try Sculptor 3 first on your computer. A lot of people swear by it, saying that it helps them stay focused on their goals and feel positive. The software is pretty easy to use, and you get lots of freebies.

Would you like to know THE secret of success, however you define that?

Well here it is - The Secrets to Success is:

FOCUS + ACTION + PERSISTENCE

Second, time to take action. Just thinking about it doesn't make it happen, whatever they tell you in "The Secret". You need to plan how you will take steps to move closer to your goal. Success comes from making it happen.

Third, persistence. Never give up trying. If you are not happy with how you are progressing try a different route. There are always alternative ways to achieve any goal. You always have other choices. Never give up. Success is always preceded with what some see as failure and others see as temporary setbacks. Don't let this stop you, keep moving forward.
