Here’s a popular topic… and a good one at that.  I was reading Bart Loos’ blog a few days ago and he shared something pretty important.  Another coach told him, “Motivation is the feeling you need, to be able to do what you didn’t want to do in the first place.”  Bart, being a 3D Mind guy as well, pointed out that the best way to “motivate” yourself is to clear out the beliefs that keep you from wanting to do whatever it is you need to do.

Now, with this in mind, a 3D Mind buddy asked me about setting goals and staying focused.  I figured this would be a great topic to talk about.

Basically, I asked him what his goal was.  He wanted to learn more about web design and was having problems focusing on it.  The problem with that is that learning is NEVER a goal.  Learning is only a means to an end.  Now, that end could be satisfying curiosity, killing time, allowing someone to feel educated or important, or accomplishing something, but regardless of the intent learning is always a means to an end instead of a goal.  This is because learning is a process, and processes can’t be a goal.

So we narrowed it down.  What was the learning for?  So he could make money on building websites.  Now this is where most people create problems for themselves.  They think that money is a motivator.

It isn’t. Read the rest of this entry »

Well, I now have a blog set up.  What am I gonna do with a blog?  Who can tell for sure?
 Actually, I plan to update this thing at LEAST weekly.  I’ve started up (after a hiatus) the 3D Mind Mastermind meetings again on Tom and Kim’s member’s site. It’s a study group where we practice 3D Mind as well as discuss strategies for personal change and how to avoid the pitfalls that get in the way. There’s usually some interesting and useful tidbits that come up, so I’ll record them here.

Of course, if there’s anything else I want to go on about, I might just put it here too. I plan on seeing how much fun I can have with this, so stay tuned.
