Creating Change – In An Instant!

Is there something about you that you would like to change? Perhaps a bad habit? Would you like to be able to overcome your fears and take action on something you have been procrastinating on? As a coach, many of my clients have issues or things that they want to change. If there is something that you want to change or take action on, here is a process that you can follow that will allow you to change whatever it is you want to - in an instant!

Identify Exactly What You Want to Change

The first step in the process is to identify exactly what it is you want to change. Once you know what you want to change, you need to decide what you want to change it to. For example, if you are a salesperson and want to change your bad phoning habits, you need to identify exactly what you want to change it to - perhaps making 30 phone calls a day.

Get Leverage On Yourself

People do things to either avoid pain or to gain pleasure. So, the next step is to get some leverage over yourself, so that you have some "incentive" to change your behavior. You can do this by linking massive pain to the behavior you want to change, and pleasure to the behavior you want to move towards. For example, if you want to break your bad phoning habits, you could write your boss a check for say $500, and tell him that if you don't do your phoning daily, he gets to keep the money. When you do your phoning, you can give yourself a little treat each time to reinforce the behavior.

Make a Commitment to at Least 3 Other People

Once you have decided what you are going to do and have some leverage over yourself, you need to tell at least 3 other people what you are doing, and ask them to check in with you and hold you accountable to what you are doing. They will constantly challenge you and make sure that you are following through, or give you hell if you don't! If you follow these 3 simple steps, you can change any behavior you want - in an instant! Once you learn how to do this, you will be able to make rapid changes in your life, and remove the barriers to your success.

Good luck!
