BOOK REVIEW: 7 Rules of Achievement
The 7 Rules of Achievement explores the inner workings of the unconscious mind as it pertains to identifying and achieving goals.
Spawn from the question, “How do great achievers do it?” author, Tom Terwilliger answers that question by identifying and exploring 7 key tenants or “Rules” employed either consciously or unconsciously by almost all great achievers.
Terwilliger manages to turn what would already be an enlightening and motivational read into an action provoking training program. Not only does the book identify the 7 strategic steps to achieving any objective but also provides several neuro-pathway changing exercises needed to re-program the reader’s internal goal seeking success mechanism.
The book was written in a simple and easy to follow style that will have the reader anxious to for the next paragraph while staying fully engaged in the learning process.
The 7 Rules program is not simply a book, nor is it simply about reading, it’s about doing, taking action, and changing the reader’s current success thermostat on a cellular level. In the vast majority of cases the way in which most people have set and pursued goals in the past has created a negative set of blueprints and references around their ability to achieve those goals. Those disempowering blueprints and negative references will very likely keep them from achieving whatever goals they have set and from ever setting goals again.
The 7 Rules of Achievement will help the reader one step at a time create a 3 dimensional road map towards achieving whatever they want in their life… including wealth, a wonderful and fulfilling relationship, a great looking healthy and strong body, or the ability to help others achieve what they want.
After reading the 7 Rules, the reader will radically reduce their level of frustration and confusion, have a complete sense of certainty in moving ahead, and almost immediately get “unstuck”! They will feel compelled to take action in the form of setting and moving towards even their most ambitious dreams. They will learn how to create a complete and crystal clear mental picture of what they want and turn that passion into goals, and those goals into a driving force vision for the future!
RATING: 4 out of 5 stars

Preparing for a Fitness Battle
Preparing for a Fitness Battle
Let’s face it, getting fit takes some effort. But getting into peak condition, shredded, or cut is an entirely different animal. Comparing the two is like comparing going out for a jog to running a marathon.
Getting fit requires discipline and desire while getting into peak condition takes both of those as well as grit, determination, single-mindedness, and the ability to push past the pain barrier.
Getting fit requires desire while the getting into peak condition requires heart.
Getting fit can be a fight. Getting shredded is a battle.
A fight can go as long as 15 rounds and is fueled by a desire to win. A battle is a “must win” that can last months or years. Your fitness goal and current condition will determine whether you are facing a fight or a battle.
Take a look in the mirror and compare what you see with the image you have in your mind of what you want to look like. How large the gap is between the two will give you some indication whether you will need to pull out a pair of 12oz gloves or a Howletzer.
Other factors might include:
-
your support system
-
coaching
-
your own level of desire
-
ability to apply discipline
If you are going into a battle, the most important thing is to have a plan. You must be prepared. Part of that planning is recognizing or predicting in advance the obstacle and challenges you are very likely to face along the way.
There’s an old saying, “Never show up to a gunfight with a knife.” Meaning if your fitness goal will require six months or more of effort and your only anticipating 12 weeks to a total transformation you may wind up a little disappointed.
If your going into a fight, a true desire to win may be enough to carry you to victory. If your going into battle you need to be armed with more than desire. Victory has to be more than a could, would, or should… it has to be a MUST.
A good success strategy begins with matching your goal or objective to your level of desire. If your desire to be more fit is at a level 4 and you take on a goal that requires a level 10 commitment your setting yourself up to fail.
