The 10 Minute Transformation

Don't tell me you don't have 10 minutes to
turn your life around!

Everyone has aspects of their lives that they want to change, but somehow we never seem to prioritize the change, or we procrastinate.

Does this sound familiar?

I know I want to lose weight, but this weekend is Billy’s party ... so I will start Monday. (Then Monday rolls around and someone brings in a dozen donuts.)  Just one isn’t going to kill me.  After that, what’s the point of the salad at lunch? I’ll start fresh, tomorrow.

... And "tomorrow" turns into the weekend and then you are back at square one. Or maybe even not at square one; maybe you have added a pound instead of maintaining or losing weight.

Or maybe this sounds familiar?

I can't believe they expect us to do that. Every week it's something different. What are they going to expect next time, keep a log of daily activities? I do more paperwork than real work. One of these days, I'm going to find a better job and tell the boss what I really think.

... And "one of these days" turns into someday and then you're thinking "Well, after I retire, then I can pursue what I really love." But maybe by the time you retire, that dream will have been sucked out of you by too many days in The Rat Race.

But this isn’t about losing weight, or quitting a dead end job, or quitting smoking, or breaking up with a person who has been dragging you down, or any of hundreds of other things that you want to change.

It could be about any one of those things, or many other things. You need to decide what you want to change.

And what do I know about transformation? What makes me an expert?

Let me introduce myself. My name is Robert Britt, and I am the poster child for transformation. 17 years ago I had just gotten out of the military after a four-year enlistment. I got a job running heavy equipment in a recycling center (what most people then would call a “junk yard”).   But I wasn’t happy. I was bored with the same thing day in, day out. So I started job hunting and ended up working at a steel mill. I was making more money than ever before in my life, but still, it was the same thing every day. I would bid on a new job in the mill and grow bored. I then and there decided that my high school education wasn’t enough to propel me to greater heights in the steel mill, so I enrolled in community college. I went home and told my wife that I was starting school, and she put me down. “What’s the point of college? You got a good job.” She just didn’t get it.

I needed to move on, for my own sanity. That was the start of the decline of my first marriage. We went our separate ways, but I kept growing.  

When other people at the steel mill got laid off, I was in a position that kept me working because of my education. I kept on with school and at age 41 got my Bachelor's degree in Applied Psychology. Having that and some help from a few friends, I decided to leave the steel mill and pursue my dream of being a writer. That’s where I am now. Writing and trying to make a living doing what I love ... helping people transform their lives and achieve their goals.

The real question is how? How do people move on in areas where they have been stuck? Maybe stuck for years? The answer came to me when I learned about self-programming and visual motor rehearsal. These two concepts are perhaps the most powerful tools when it comes to reprogramming your brain.

Self-Programming, also known as self-talk, is something that everyone does every day, whether you are conscious of it or not. This is either the "little voice inside your head" or maybe you actually vocalize some of your self-talk.

Visual Motor Rehearsal is something that has been done by NASA and by olympic athletes, just to name a couple examples. It is the practice of performing an event in your head prior to the actual performance. This has been shown to enhance actual performance. This practice can be done whether you are a freestyle skier or trying to improve your golf game (or any other physical or mental performance).

Maybe you have heard people talk about subliminal messages or audio guidance, and those concepts are powerful. But the true power comes from you.

The program I have put together harnesses inner strength you may not even be aware of, so you can become the best you that you can be. The Army harnessed this thought in their “Be all you can be” recruiting campaign, and that remains a classic phrase. That appeals to your self-esteem, because who doesn’t want to be the best they can be?

This brings us to the point that you are multiple people. I believe there are at least five different versions of everyone

The fifth one is the you that you are willing to sacrifice many things to become, but you are either afraid to become, or you only want to sacrifice in your daydreams. You have to be willing to sacrifice in real life sometimes to really get to where you want to be; to become the person you want to be. 

Your job is to become who you are destined to be. Become the real you and get rid of the clutter in your mind that is holding you back. Don't hold onto what has happened in the past. The things you cling to may be the very things that are stopping you from your peak!

Now, are you ready to conquer the hills that separate the current you and the “Be all that you can be” you?

Did you know that most people work over 80,000 hours before they retire? Do you think it might be worth 10 minutes of your time to change the course of your life?

Get The 10 Minute Transformation and start on the path to the ultimate you!

The clock is ticking. What have you done lately to move yourself to the place you need to be?
