The following challenge is for the daring few who are serious about making their goals, dreams, and desires come true. Those afraid to dare might as well stop reading right here. This challenge will weary the lazy because it calls for immediate action. It will bore the sophisticated, and amuse the skeptics. I don’t expect it to be popular because it calls for courage, guts and perseverance. But for a few of you, for the priceless few who decide to go for it, it will result in a renewal of purpose and an exciting, adventurous, exhilarating life.

What I will ask you to do will take you less than 30 minutes a day. Thirty minutes that over a period of time will change the way you think, will create a burning desire for your goals, and will cause you to believe without a shadow of a doubt that you are destined to make your goal a reality.

Once you reach that point, you will be mentally ready to take the journey to your dreams. You will be so mentally strong that you will be absolutely unstoppable. None of the inevitable struggles that you will face will stop you. You will know that you truly are bigger than any circumstances and you will do whatever it takes to make your goals happen.

So here goes…

I challenge you, I dare you, I double-dog dare you to do the following five things seven days a week, 52 weeks a year, for the rest of your life.

Those of you that do will undoubtedly accomplish great things in your lifetimes. Those that don’t… well, you know.

Write your goals down!

Magic happens when you put your goals down on paper. Your subconscious mind starts trying to figure out ways to make your goals become a reality.

In 1960, Harvard Business School did a study of their graduates 20 years after they had graduated. They found the top 3% moneymakers made as much money as the other 97% put together. The only difference between the two groups was the top 3% had always written and regularly read their goals. As a result, everything they did on a day-to-day basis was focused on reaching their goals.

When Tiger Woods was a young boy, he wrote down on a 3x5 card that he intended to break all of Jack Nicklaus’ records. Tiger read his card daily and the rest is history. Even Jack Nicklaus agrees that Woods will do it if he stays on the track he’s on.

The most effective way to write your goals down is to take a 3x5 card and on one side write (in the present tense):

"I intend to ………. by (date)."

Ex.) For years my card said… "It is February 2002 and I am in the Salt Lake Olympics. I am now a three-time Olympian"

On the other side of your card write what you are doing on a daily basis to make it happen.

"I intend to accomplish this because…"

Then write at least three things you are doing daily to get you closer to your goal. By reading the back of your card every day you will increase your belief. You see, your mind will say to itself, "I’m bound to make it, look at how hard I’m working!"

Ex.) The back of my card said…. "I’m a three-time Olympian because: 1) I work out every day, 2) I eat right, and 3) I constantly read good books, listen to motivational tapes, and associate with winners.

Keep your card on your bedside table. Read your card first thing in the morning EVERY DAY to stay focused on the objective. Then read your card EVERY NIGHT before turning out the lights so your subconscious can work all night on ways to make it happen.

Tip- Read your card in front of a mirror while looking right at your eyes. Read it with passion, with energy. Whenever you say the word "I", touch your chest with your index finger. Make it like a pep talk. I guarantee that by doing it that way, you will develop tremendous desire, passion, and mental strength.

Vividly imagine what it will feel like when you reach your goal

Several times a day close your eyes and for a couple of minutes vividly imagine what it’s going to feel like when you achieve your goal. This does not have to take up any time. You can do it while you shower. While you’re in the elevator. On the way to work. Make it a "Victory Shower" or a "Victory Commute!" Really get into it. Feel it as if it were really happening. Involve as many of your senses as possible. What will it feel like? What will it taste like? What will it sound like? What will it look like? What will it taste like? Get excited! Your subconscious does not know the difference between vividly imagining something and it really happening. By doing this, you become passionate about your desire, your belief becomes unshakeable and you become unstoppable.

Tip- Get pictures of your goal and put them where you can see them all the time. The walls of my office have always been covered with Olympic flags, posters, mementos, etc. I’m constantly bombarding my brain with where I want to go.

Rubber band your negative self talk away.

This strategy sounds simplistic but if you will do it for 30 days, you will be surprised at how powerful it is. Wear a rubber band around your wrist. Every time you catch yourself saying something negative snap your wrist hard and replace the negative with a positive.

Ex.) Suppose I did something dumb and called myself "Stupid". I’d snap the rubber band and say, "No, I’m a winner!".

Or suppose I said, "I’ll try to do it." I’d snap the rubber band and say, "No, I’m going to do it!"

What this does is to make you aware of all the negative programming we typically do, nip it in the bud, and replace it with a positive. Becoming aware of the problem is the first step in correcting it. You will be amazed how much more positive your outlook will become in just 30 days. Soon you will notice how most people operate from a negative frame of mind and how successful people don’t.

Here are some examples of negative and positive phrases:

Negative                                        Positive

I’m a loser                                     I’m a winner

I’m failing                                      I’m getting an education

I’m having a problem                      I’m having a challenge

I can’t do it                                   I’ll figure it out if I don’t quit

I should have…(some action)         Next time I will… (some action)

I’ll try                                           I will do it

I can’t                                          I can do it

Read 15 minutes every day from a positive book

The books you read and the people you associate with will determine where you are in five years. Consistently reading good books will boost your self-belief and will help you to start thinking bigger.

This does not have to take much time. I keep a book on my bedside table, one in each bathroom, one in my briefcase (you never know when you’ll have a few spare minutes), and one in the car (for red lights and traffic jams). I’ve read some of my books several times. I’ve read "The Magic of Thinking Big" about 8 times. Every time I read it I get something different from it because every time I’m older and ready for new knowledge.

Believe it or not, if all you do is read one book a month, you’ll be reading more than 95% of Americans.

If you have teenagers, you might want to reward them whenever they read and write a book report on positive books. Get them thinking success at an early age.

Constantly ask yourself the winner’s question

What’s the best thing can I do in the next 15 minutes to get me closer to my goal?

Then do it! Do it right away. Don’t kid yourself, success requires massive action. The first four steps will make you mentally strong so you can consistently and persistently do the fifth step. It’s the action that will make your dreams come true.

If you will get in the habit of doing the following things every day, you will be surprised at how you begin to hit and exceed your goals.

It will take you less than 30 minutes a day to do all these things.

What do you have to lose?

A LetterFrom Three-time Olympian Ruben Gonzalez, Dear Friend, What you're about to read is not for everyone. If you are satisfied with your life, if you are completely happy and absolutely content with your financial life, if you are reaching your goals, and feeling great... then this is NOT for you. But if you feel something might be missing, or if you are looking for something that will help you reach the next level either financially, in your relationships, in your level of happiness, or if what you're looking for is peace of mind, then you're at the right place!  You're at the Right Place! You see, when I was young, nothing in my life worked. I was lost, I didn't believe in myself, and I had no hope in the future. And then, some very special people made me understand that even though I was an ordinary person, if I would follow some specific success principles, I could accomplish extraordinary things. These successful people taught me the proven and timeless principles of success that will work for anyone, anywhere, anytime. And I'd like to pass on those success secrets to as many people as I can. This website will help you get all the tips, strategies, techniques, to help you: Act in spite of your fear, Raise your self-belief level, Become more confident, Take charge of your life, Double or Triple your income, Develop an unstoppable will, Become more effective in everything you do, And much more. Once I started listening to my mentors, I went from being the kid who was never even picked to play sports in P.E. in school to competing in the Olympics - three times! I'm the most unlikely Olympian out there. I'm not a great athlete. I'm not fast, strong, or agile. And I didn't take up the sport of luge until I was 21 years old. But by consistently and persistently following the success principles my mentors and coaches taught me, four years and a few broken bones later, I was competing in the 1988 Calgary Olympics. By following the same principles, I was still competing in the brutal sport of luge at the age of 39 - competing against 20-year-olds. Yeah, I guess I'm the Nolan Ryan of luge! But I was broke. A broke salesman - can you imagine that? I was a three-time Olympian and people STILL wouldn't buy from me! How pitiful is that? I went through 20 jobs in 20 years. My wife almost left me - heck, back then, I would have left me!  My Rude Awakening... Then, in 2002, at the age of 39, the light bulb went on. It was so obvious.... I had been applying the success principles in my sports life but I wasn't applying them to my financial life. My sports life was great, but my financial life stunk.  You see, there are certain thought patterns that occur in sports and in business. The thought patterns that make you successful in sports will make you successful in business... and in life. I sat down and started analyzing what had worked and what hadn't worked over the years in my Olympic quest (I have degrees in chemistry and biology, so believe me, I can analyze data).  I read and re-read all of my notes from all of the books, tapes, and seminars. I called my coaches and mentors, I spoke with behavioral psychologists, and for about a year, I distilled all of their knowledge and created a step-by-step system. I had the blueprint, the steps, the thought patterns, the system that had taken me from an average athlete to an Olympic athlete. The question was, could I use the the thought patterns that helped me go 90 MPH on my sled to help my business go 90 MPH? My scientific background told me that I simply needed to test my hypothesis. You see, no matter how good a theory looks or sounds, it must be tested in the real world. So I became the guinea pig and I started applying those steps consistently and persistently in my business.  Rags to Riches! The results were incredible! All of a sudden, once I started following the system, my business started growing. As it did, my confidence started soaring. And I started a positive spiral that is creating a spectacular life for myself and my family. I've doubled my income the last two years. Yes, I'm earning FOUR TIMES what I was earning two years ago. And there's no end in sight. I expect to keep doubling my income every year for the next several years. Why do I say that? Because now I see possibilities and I hang around people that think so big it's scary. People that make hundreds of thousands of dollars a month! You see, when you are in the valley, you can't see very far. But when you trust a mountain guide to help you climb to the top of a mountain, you can see for miles. You see that there are higher mountains to be climbed. I used this system to climb my financial mountain and now I see there are higher mountains to climb.   This Weekend Only: The Very Special Price of $99.97 + $7.70 s&h (You Save $100.00!) Your Life Can Improve Very Quickly... It was amazing how quickly I was able to improve the quality of my life once I made a decision to listen to an follow my mentors' advice. They taught me how to: Create a "Dream Team" of people who would simply not let you quit, How to create "Mastermind Groups that share priceless knowledge. How the most successful people in the world set and reach their goals. How to negotiate with people in a way that all your transactions become "Win-win," How to become more successful with less effort, How to benefit from other people's success, How to establish a dream and purpose for your life, How to eliminate your self-limiting thoughts, How to make the journey fun. Success Tips If You want to Create a Fabulous Life        Here are some other things I learned: How to manage my state of mind so that I could always perform at my peak. That in life there is no free lunch. You must pay the price of success or you'll pay the price of regret. How to become indispensable to others by delivering more than I'm paid for. Once you develop the reputation on someone who delivers more than they are paid for, you never need to look for business. Business comes to you. I don't make cold calls anymore. I did in the beginning, but I have not made a cold call in over a year. And business keeps growing. How to set up systems that automate your business so you can spend more time doing the most important things in your life. How to motivate myself. How to use harness the energy in my emotions to reach my goals. The main thing I learned from my mentors is that I didn't even know what I didn't know. And that what I didn't know could make or break me. Beware of Theorists Do you know what makes me mad? It's when I see someone who reads a couple of self-help books and then they call themselves a professional life success coach. These people don't teach from experience - they just teach from theory. They don't have a clue about how things work in the real world. They have never accomplished anything in their lives but they put together slick success systems that look good, smell good, but are a waste of your time and money. I've talked to them. I've seen their proposals and heard their theories. Ask them what they actually accomplished in their lives. Ask them how they came up with their theories and how they used them in real life. You'll hear quite a bit of back peddling. I've learned my lesson. I'm very careful of where I spend my money on my own training. I've made all the mistakes. I don't want you to make them too. Your rule of thumb needs to be that you will only accept advice from someone who has "fruit on the trees." Fruit on the trees means they have done what they preach. If they haven't, run! The fastest and easiest way to become successful is to model someone who's already successful. This Weekend Only: The Very Special Price of $99.97 + $7.70 s&h (You Save $100.00!)  All You Need is a Proven System... My system has passed the acid test. It turned an average athlete into a three-time Olympian, an introvert into a successful keynote speaker, and a broke salesman into a successful businessman. I want to teach you the exact ideas, strategies and techniques that helped me become financially successful and create an extraordinary life. I'm an ordinary guy and it worked for me. If it worked for me it will work for you. Success is not about what cards you are dealt in life. Success is all about how you play your cards. It's not about how good you are. It's about how good you want to be. Most wealthy people are not notably talented, educated, charming or good looking. They became wealthy by wanting to be rich and by following a system. That's why the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. When I decided to follow the system, my life changed. I quadrupled my income and my life did a turnaround. If you follow the system, your life will change too. You don't need a college education. You don't need money to make money. You don't need to be born in the right family. You don't need to rely on luck. All you need is a dream, a burning desire to reach it, and the willingness to follow a proven system. This Weekend Only: The Very Special Price of $99.97 + $7.70 s&h (You Save $100.00!)  The other 90% Successful people are just ordinary people that have figured out how to tap into their untapped potential. They have learned how to condition their subconscious mind for success. Most people are using less than 10% of their brain and their potential. You see, you can read all the self help books you want, and you can listen to all the tapes that you want, and you can attend all the seminars. But books, tapes and seminars alone won't cut it.... Books, tapes and seminars are information. Unless you apply the information, you'll never get the results. This system will help you tap into the other 90%. Tap into your subconscious mind. This system will teach you proven techniques that will get you to take action. After all, most people know what they should be doing. The key is getting yourself to do it. And that's that this system does. It takes you from information to implementation. This system will get you to automatically do the things you need to do to create an extraordinary life. And it won't even seem like work. You'll be automatically doing the right things.   It's Like this... If you were given a Formula I racing car but no manual or no training in how to drive it, how effective would you be? Or if a Cessna pilot were given an F-18 jet but no training or manual, how effective would he be? He's probably fly it right into the ground! You need a manual too. You have an incredible mind, coupled with gifts and talents that no one else has, but you don't have a manual! You could be flying so much higher... You need a manual, a system that will help you unlock your hidden potential. Only then will you achieve extraordinary things in your life. This is not rocket science. The information in this system is explained so simply that even a ten-year-old child could understand it and apply it. After all, it's just a manual for your mind.   Do You Feel You Have Accomplished all You Can? Are you completely fulfilled? Is your life completely in balance? Do you feel in control? Do you feel confident about the future? Do you have a sense of inner-peace? Do you have a sense of purpose in your life or are you simply drifting by? If you yearn for change, for something more, if you want to reach your full potential, like I did, then do what I did. Take advantage of this system, and learn how to be the best you can be. Learn how to create a magnificent life. I went from a broke salesman to a best selling author, keynote speaker and entrepreneur. I went from living a life of fear to enjoying the feeling that comes from being confident in yourself. I went from being afraid to make sales calls to picking up the phone and calling some of the most powerful people in the world. I went from listening to Zig Ziglar motivational tapes, to sharing the stage with Zig in front of thousands of people. I'm just an ordinary guy. All I did was to learn how to tap into my hidden power. And you can too. You have the power. You just need to learn how to tap into it. Once you do, you will have the peace of mind that comes from knowing that you are being your best. I have that peace of mind and believe me, it's an incredible feeling. You can have that feeling too! This Weekend Only: The Very Special Price of $99.97 + $7.70 s&h (You Save $100.00!)     "Success is the peace of mind that comes from knowing that you did your best to become your best."                    UCLA Coach John Wooden – The most successful coach un NCAA basketball history    It's not about wishful thinking.... Successful people are not more talented than you. They just learned how to run their brain. And that's what this system is all about. It's an easy-to-use, highly enjoyable, step-by-step program that will teach you how to run your brain. How to get to know yourself so you can create a magnificent life - faster than you can imagine! But it's not just going to happen. You have to get the resources. You need to take advantage of the program that will teach you the thought patterns that will help you excel in every area of your life. You can spend the rest of your life trying to figure the thought patterns of success out through trial and error. Or you can learn from someone who's already made the errors - and is willing to teach you the secret to cracking the code of success. This is your chance to drastically shorten your learning curve. Your chance to spend less time failing and more time succeeding.   The 95% Rule The 95% rule says: There's a 95% chance that everything you learned about success and winning and accumulating wealth and creating a fabulous life was learned from people in the lower 95 percentile. If that is true, and it is (if you doubt it, ask any mathematician), how do you expect to ever be in the top 5%? That's why the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. The rich are learning how to succeed and the poor are learning how to fail. Isn't it time you started getting some 5% information? Isn't it time you start getting some of the proven success information you deserve?    Here's a Sneak Peek at some of the Things You'll Learn When You Order the "Go for the Gold" Total Success System How to condition your mind for success How to use the thought patterns of success How to attract the people and resources you need to achieve all of your life's dreams How to determine what your true life goals are How to extract benefits from every event in your life How to eliminate your limiting self beliefs that have been holding you back from success How to increase your boldness factor so you act in spite of your fear How to know the answers to your deepest questions, such as: What do I really want?
