My Success Principle Journey – A 9 Week Review
You may have seen just recently, a program from Mack Michaels called The Success Principle. Normally I don’t pay any attention to the many self improvement and motivation programs but this one caught my eye. Before I get into why, I’ll tell you why I’m writing this ’9 week’ review.
Generally speaking, I’m a bit of a cynic when it comes to some of the internet marketing techniques. I hate the carbon copy sales emails that I see all the time – I think it lacks creativity on the senders part and also it suggests that they know nothing about the program or service and that’s why they have to send out someone elses email copy. If I’m going to use a product then I’d prefer to purchase from someone who uses it themselves. If I’m going to suggest that anyone else buys a product then I’m going to want to use it myself and either give an honest opinion or simply not review it at all. I’m not really interested in pressing ‘emotional buttons’ so much as recommending things that I’ve tried myself and have found to be value for money.
One of the things that caught my eye (and usually does) was that when you dig into it a little there aren’t any outlandish or unrealistic claims. I watched the videos that were scattered down the sales page and you really should take a look at them as well. Jerry Clark talks about what happened when he started applying The Success Principle and how he increased his income to $10k/month after a few months. Not in 3 minutes … not overnight … not in a week… but in a few months. That seems like a realistic goal, assuming that the training facilitates that sort of success. I’m looking forward to re-wiring my brain into a more productive and successful mode and it does seem realistic that it should take several months to permanently change your outlook and remove the doubt, fear and negative thinking that most of us endure for much of our lives.
So, here I am on day 2 of The Success Principle. This first week is about questions… like asking the right questions of the right people. It also introduces something that’s called the ’30 Day Mind Fast’. There are a dozen or so audios and 2 videos in this first week. I normally switch off from audios fairly quickly but Jerry Clark (the main coach for this program) keeps it all moving at a reasonable pace and the audios range from around 2 to 6 minutes each. Basically it’s a 1 or 2 hour audio (I didn’t add the times up) broken down into a bunch of smaller audios. That suits me as it means I can log in and re-listen to 1 or 2 audios whenever I want without taking a big chunk out of my day.
I see that the next week doesn’t unlock for another 5 days. I think that’s a good idea as well because I’m sure that I’d be wanting to take a peek into the other weeks which could become a distraction. The way it is set up I have no choice but to stick to the plan.
As the weeks progress I’ll post about my progress and whether I feel it is having an effect on my general outlook and my bottom line. This first week is certainly encouraging and has provided some training that I can use straight away.
Note added Jan. 5 2010 – Things are moving along nicely and I’m enjoying the whole personal development thing so much that I’m going to continue this and expand on it on my new Self Improvement Blog.
