New Year, New You... Really? (Part 2 of 4)
by
Richard Fenton &
Andrea Waltz
Last week we suggested that maybe the New Year's resolutions you've
made might not be kept due to a simple fact: Another New Year has
indeed come, but YOU yourself are not new. Let's face it
- the simple turning of a calendar page does not change us,
at least not at the core of our being. Or our programming.
Because it's our inner programming... our 'beliefs'... that
determines our behavior. Which brings us to the subject of
icebergs. Yes, icebergs. And iceberg beliefs.
What, exactly, are iceberg beliefs? Actually, they're exactly what they
sound like: big beliefs that - like icebergs - are below the surface of
the water... and our consciousness. But make no mistake, they
are there. And if you don't acknowledge and watch out
for them, your resolutions will run dead into them. And just like the
Titanic, you're going down.
Want an example? Your New Year's resolution is to go
on a strict 1,700 calorie diet. But you have an iceberg belief that
"it's unfair that some people are born with high metabolisms and can
eat anything they want and never gain an ounce." Well,
there's only one way to make things "fair"... and that's to eat
anything we want like them! Get the idea? So what are YOUR iceberg beliefs? Figure them out. Because if
you don't know what they are, how can you ever expect to change them?
More on this - and what you can do about it - next week!

We're preparing to go to
print on another run of books once again - but with a few changes! This
time we'll have testimonials from Darren Hardy & Bob Burg on
the cover as follows:
"Do
you want to achieve success? If your answer is 'yes', then you need to
get more no's. This book will show you why and how."
-Darren Hardy, Publisher, SUCCESS magazine
"Powerful...
inspiring... the ultimate 'reframe' for success!"
-Bob Burg, co-author of The Go-Giver and Go-Givers Sell More
The new version - which includes a just-added "Over 125,000 Copies in
Print!" starburst on the back cover, will be in stock by the end of
January.

Quotables from
the Go for No! Movie |
"I don't necessarily
think that when you hear the word "No" that you should continually come
back and do everything the same way, that's like a woodpecker knocking
on a piece of wood - cluck, cluck, cluck. After his 200th knock, his 201st
knock is going to be the same. And so my definition of the Go for
No concept is, go for no, and then be creative and do it again. If
you get a 'No,' be a little more creative and try
again." -David Frey

If you haven't seen it yet, you've GOT
to rent Albert Brooks' movie masterpiece, "Defending Your
Life!" Not only is it really funny, it's extremely
thought provoking, especially the scenes where Brooks' character is
being 'prosecuted' for his fears which are keeping him from moving on
to the 'next level.'

Week's Trivia
Answer |
The last death due to
small pox was in September, 1978, when Janet Parker - an
English medical photographer - was exposed to the virus as the result
of a laboratory accident. On May 8, 1980, the World Health Organization
declared smallpox eradicated, but some samples remain in laboratories
in Atlanta and Moscow. When scientists finally destroy the samples, the
smallpox virus will become the first life form intentionally eliminated
from the earth.
