3 Easy Steps to Get You What You Really Want

I can't take the credit for the secret sauce I'm about to share with you. Master Trainer and best selling author, Brian Klemmer passed away last week, so I wanted to pass on his secret sauce to you. He would have wanted you to have it. He wanted everyone to have it. The secret sauce is called the intention mechanism. How does this work? Simple. Imagine 50 people queued in a straight line. I tell all of them, including you, to cross the room one at a time, and the only condition is, you can't cross it the same way twice. Each person, has to develop a unique strategy to cross the room. So, typically, one will run, the next one will skip, the third will jump, and the next few will roll, dance, tip-toe, do jumping jacks, do cart-wheels, etc. You get the picture. Until we get to the 30th person who is anticipating their turn. At each person preceeds them, he or she is quickly is running out of original ideas. There are 20 people left to cross the room, and each way to cross the room seems to have been taken. The pressure mounts, and some just automatically give up before its their turn, and go sit down with surrender. Then, one thinks to crawl backwards like a crab, the next one thinks of getting on their belly and crawl like a snake. Soon, the last three run out of ideas. So, the reward for achieving goes up. A generous reward of $100 is dollars presented to the last few who successfully cross the room in a way that hasn't been done before, and the game is back on. With this new bonus in place, the last participants renew their intention to cross the room in a creative way. With their committment renewed to win the one hundred dollar bonus, they search their souls for a new "mechanism" to cross the room, and they are now resolved to cross the room to win the one hundred dollar bonus. Typically, the last 3 people really have to think this through. However, the new financial bonus has deepened their committment to success. It's amazing how they will think of the new mechanism to cross the room. All of a sudden, where there was no clarity on how to achieve this exercise, they have amazing clarity. Up the anti, people will succeed. It's just a matter of setting their intention, finding the right mechanism and how deep their are willing to commit to getting the task done. Sometimes the $100 dollars is not enough. Sometimes we have to go up to $500. Up the anti, it's amazing how deep committment evolves. Every business has intention, mechanism and committment at play. Unfortunately, most small business owners have their measuring sticks set at the wrong place. They either lack intention, or they stop evolving to find the right mechanism, or they bail because their committment was not deep enough. Too many people treat their business like a diet. For example, I'm committed to losing five pounds, but I'm more deeply committed to enjoying my piece of dark chocolate. Or, you may recongize this one. I'm committed to making this business work, but I'm more deeply committed to feeling safe. How can you take a risk if you are more deeply committed to feeling safe. I wish I could tell you that the feeling of "safe" is an illusion anyway. However, show be a business owner that failed, and in five minutes I'll pinpoint for you if it was lack of committment, mechanism, or intention. Most will set the bar too low when it comes to their own personal evolution. For 30 years I thought I was a jazz artist, and I'd die a jazz artist. I really didn't think I was anything else. I was very committed to being a great jazz artist, but I found out when I was 40 years old, that I was more deeply committed to providing a good existance for my family. Though I thought it was very cool to sacrafice for my art, I didn't think it was cool for my family to have to go through poverty with me. It turns out, after a multi-award career, lots of records, tours, and successes, I was more deeply committed to my wife and son. When I personally evolved, a new company exploded. I woke up one day and I had made my first million as an internet marketing expert. It turns out, I was more than an award winning jazz pianist. I can tell you that intention, mechanism and deep committment were all at play for me, so I could recognize this with certain ease when I meet a fellow entrepreneur who is going through the same kind of change. It's an evolution of personal growth and change. Brian Klemmer used to say "if you change the way you look at things, the things you look at will change". Intention, mechanism and committment is the organic material your company is made of. Is it time to think about what you are most deeply committed to?

Re: e-Commerce and e-Payment providers - When I came back to Japan in 1999 I sometimes used to ask my students if they would buy anything on the Internet and at that time most thought it was too risky. I'd encourage them to try by using well known sites such as Amazon.co.jp and also pointed out that using a credit card on a reputable site was safer than using it at a restaurant. I can't remember the last time I had that discussion or when the "tipping point" occurred in Japan. To answer your other question, I use Paypal for several reasons: 1. Brand familiarity 2. Easy to use 3. Free to withdraw 50,000yen+ to my Japanese bank account - a huge benefit (but maybe other systems also offer that...?) 4. Easy to cancel subscriptions On the down side, their transaction fees are quite costly, they are difficult to contact and when disputes arise you can sometimes lose even when you can prove via your tracking service that the disputed item was "delivered" to the customer's address!

Delegating - Good info and interesting list. Easy to see how the authority or power is slowly passed to the person - the secret would be knowing WHEN to move to the next step. I like to avoid people who are stuck at the #1 level. Chris
What makes you keep coming back for more? - I am researching on personal preferences that keeps the visitors coming back to a web site. What would be great is if people would list out their preferences of what keeps them interested to keep visiting a website in order or importance. For me it is:- 1. Content – Value, Depth and Recency of Information provided 2. User Friendliness – Easy Navigation, Simple graphic design etc. 3. Service – download time, contactability etc.
