Could it be this simple???

These last couple of months, I was repeatedly reminded of a very simple technique, or perhaps even secret. This secret is out in the open for most people. The sad thing is however… that we know what it is but we don’t use it in our lives.

The wonderful thing is that all the successful people use and used this all the time to become the stars they are.

During my training sessions with clients, I hear many people tell me that speed reading doesn’t work. They tell me that the human brain is not capable of reading with 400, 800 or 1500 words per minute, with better than normal understanding.

Another person says that we can’t use mindmaps because it takes too much time to create them. At least, that is what others tell us…

And you know what?

The people who told me that are often the people who come back to me and share this secret I want to share with you. They even tell me that they were wrong and that speed reading works, and mindmaps are very effective in their work, studies and in their life in general.

Being reminded of this so many times these last months, I want to do a little, life changing experiment. I will perform this on myself, but you are most definitely welcome to join me.

I will do this experiment to increase a number of areas in my life, both physical and mental as well as financial and intellectual.

The goals that I’ve set to accomplish in this experiment are all things I wanted to do for a long time. But as you know, life has a tendency to keep us where we are, if we are not focusing on moving forward. Not for me from now on, not during this experiment!

Last weekend I was volunteering on a fund raising event here in The Netherlands. I saw a lot of people, from all ages walk and run a long distance. Normally, people would think walking and running that distance was not possible for them. But because of the setting, the support and their preparation, they were able to do this.

This was for me the spark which ignited the experiment.

This was the spark that will change my life for the better.

So you probably like to know what the secret is that enables me to reach my goals, right?

Well, this secret is something advertisers use all the time. It is something that teachers tell us to use when studying or mastering a now topic or technique.

Yes, it even has its own saying: ??? makes perfect AND ??? is the mother of all skills.

Yes, you are right, practice makes perfect. Repetition is the mother of all skills.

This implies something very difficult for most people. They have to put aside their disbelief and their limiting thoughts for some time. Most people think new ideas just don’t work, because they can’t do it.

In everything in life, whether it is speed reading, learning a new language, writing a book, losing weight, building a business or anything else that is new, different or not something you are used to…

Practice makes perfect, repetition is the mother of your skill.

To sum it up:

Repeated practice makes perfect!

So that is what I will experiment with these next 100 days. I will change my life and habits these next 100 days. I will practice more to improve my skills and knowledge. I will repeat my practice to master what I am studying.

I will do just that. I will change my life by practicing in a number of fields. I will take the next 100 days and improve my life.

I firmly believe repeated practice will get me results. Of course, that is if you know the systems and have the tools to do the right things. No sense in just doing something stupid and wishing you get better in what you do, right?

So now it is up to you.

What area in your life do you want to improve? Do you want to lose weight? Earn more money? Read faster? Improve your relationship with your spouse?

Than join me and take the next 100 days, starting RIGHT NOW!!!

Determine what you can do right now and what you should and should not do for the next 100 days. The moment you found out what you need to do (and not do), stick to it. Just for the next 100 days!

That’s only 3 months!

Don’t delay until tomorrow, or the next week. The only time to start something new is right now. You will not benefit from this if you start next week (because it will never become next week, there is only NOW).

Write the goal that you will reach in the next 100 days in the box below. This is not only a good way for you to commit yourself to this. We, visual thinkers, will support you in reaching your goal as well.

Again, add your goal(s) below and let’s move towards our goals together!

(or do you want to get stuck in the situation you are in, not benefiting from the wonderful results and experiences that await you in the next 100 days?)
