Breakthrough to Success : How am I doing?

With the Breakthrough to Success weekend only three weeks away, I decided to take a look at the notes I made back in May when I listened to the CD version of the course. Although I came away from the course feeling extremely positive and focused, did those feelings translate into the real world?
The short answer is definitely ‘yes’.
For the audio course, I decided to focus on my career. The areas of health and relationships were, to some degree, dependent upon my financial success. I was also mindful of the fact that the CDs would also be there waiting for a later run-through with a different area in mind.
Goals
Goal-setting was strongly encouraged, and encompassed several time periods - ranging from 3 months to 3 years. The 3 month point has now passed.
The two primary goals were number of RSS subscribers and monthly income from my sites. Both of these figures have been passed.
I have also rapidly approached several longer-term goals. The 3 year-goals should be reached within the first year.
Change of direction
Perhaps the most significant outcome of the audio series was a subtle change in direction for all of my sites. Each one is now a little more focused, and all are now pulling their weight as far as income is concerned.
In a couple of cases I’ve handed over the sites to someone else; or combined them with another site I run. This pruning and consolidation has helped to ensure that every task I now undertake - for work, at least - is taking me one step closer to my stated goals.
I’d forgotten about that
Just to illustrate the point that the course instilled deep, fundamental changes in my outlook and behaviour; consider that I barely remember writing much of the content in the accompanying workbook. In fact, I’d completely forgotten about several key points.
However - and this is the crucial part - all of the changes have been put in place, and I’m carrying them out without even consciously thinking about them. Beautiful.
Bottom line
Having see the changes possible in just a few short months, I’m very much looking forward to next month’s Breakthrough to Success weekend. Should be fantastic.
