Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment

Ralph Waldo Emerson

If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is a compromise.

Dump those Resolutions Today!

 

New Year's Eve is one of the few times that most people take a step back and reflect on where they’ve been, and where their life is heading. The end of one year and the beginning of a new one seems to pull us out of the “the moments of our lives” and help us get some perspective.

This can be one of the most powerful times of the year, the problems start when people decide something needs to change and resolve to change it by setting ill thought out New Year Resolutions.

This wasting what could be a fantastic opportunity to take control of your life. So, how else can you do it?

 

New Years Resolutions are the worst of all goal setting approaches. We all know that you’re not expected to keep them, so it’s easy to give up and fall back into your own ways. This reinforces their belief that it’s hard to change and so they carry on just as they always have.

The hardest bit is taking the plunge and getting started; most people aren’t used to taking time out to plan their day-to-day life. They have vague hopes and dreams, but are too busy reacting to other people’s priorities that they forget about their own desires – until New Year, or worse reminds them!

Some people don’t like the idea of having a plan, they feel it will restrict the spontaneity in their lives and they’ll be slaves to it. This couldn’t be further from the truth! The truth is that if you don’t have your own plan, you will be reacting to someone else’s. Having a plan to guide you will help you see more opportunities, have more fun and allow you to help others with their plans too. Also once you’re clear about what you want, you can sit down with other’s and work on joint goals and plans, this is a great way to build partnerships and reinforce relationships

Once you get the hang of this way empirical living, you’ll wonder why you waited so long.

 

Empirical “Virtual Steps to Success” Program

Over the last couple of years the principals of Empirical Coaching have proved themselves again and again right across the world.

Check out this recent example from Hazel,

For many years I have had the desire to work for myself but without support or even the courage of my own convictions, I fell by the wayside.

Being coached by Anth has changed my life completely. I now know what it is I want to do and have my own business. I enjoy what I do and find it extremely satisfying.

Coaching for me was about facing hurdles that previously would have scared me into backing off and resuming my usual role. Having looked at and jumped each hurdle I have reached the finish line for this particular project and I am looking towards the finish line of the next one.

Without Anth and the coaching, I would still be dreaming - Thank you Anth.

Its true “Empirical Coaching” has been a fantastic success, but not everyone wants or can afford to sign up for personal coaching. Also, while I’ve had some great feedback on “Take Control Today”, I believe it suffers from the same problem as all self-help books. The ideas would turn your life around, but reading doesn’t make it happen, its action that counts. this is where the problems begin.

To sell books they have to be comprehensive and though this sounds a good idea, it can actually lead to information overload – how many self-help books have you read that have made a real long lasting change in your life?

No matter how well intentioned most self-help books turn out to be nothing more than entertainment!

Personal Coaching is proven method of helping people find their own answers and fulfil their dreams and it works. But, and it’s a big but, many people can become frustrated as the coach is trained to help them find their own answers. This can take time and many people want more guidance along the way.

So is consulting any better? Well, if you want to learn a specific skill then in many ways yes. You’ll gain the skill much quicker and be up and running sooner. The problem comes when you want a new skill, as you haven’t built the “problem solving” muscle, you will probably need the consultant again.

Building on the principals used so successfully in the empirical coaching model Empirical “Virtual Steps to Success” Program allows people use their short term goals as the tools to build practical skills that they can use to go after more of what they want on their own.

Success is a very personal thing and it means something different to us all. But, developing your ability to live life to the full is more important than any single “achievement” as a coach and consultant I don’t want repeat business! I will help you achieve your goals, but I like to think of it as analogous to a driving school. The most obvious aim is to get you to achieve your goal “passing the test”, but the real aim is to give you the skills to go out and drive on your won.

In order to help as many people as possible live their dreams without the expense of a personal coaching program. I’ve created a simple step-by-step process to making 2006 a fantastic year for anyone who wants to change their life and is prepared to take some action to create the life of their dreams.

The Empirical “Virtual Steps to Success” Program is designed to help you transform your life in simple easy to follow steps.

Each step builds on and reinforces the last making change easier than you can imagine.

I’ve designed the system as an interactive 3 month progam to ensure maximum effectiveness and impact by delivering each step by email, in PDF format.

The program begins will an intensive series of exercises delivered over the initial weeks to help you understand yourself and your current life and move onto developing three powerful goals.

These goals will act as the focus of the rest of the course.

As the course moves on you’ll:

  • Develop the self-confidence that comes from knowing that you can take whatever life throws at you – and use it to your advantage
  • Understand your internal motivators and how to use them to build massive motivation.
  • Powerful strategies for building and perhaps more importantly maintaining momentum
  • How to stay on purpose aligning your actions to what is important and not just urgent.
  • How to avoid the “goal plateau”

Each step is contains a brief introduction and powerful exercises and worksheets. I’ve kept the introduction to each step deliberately brief as Empirical Living is about application and learning, not reading and wondering.

Think about it, you can read as many swimming books as you like, but if you want to learn to swim, sooner or later you have to get in the water.

Working through these exercises, you’ll get clear on what you want, gain and maintain motivations, develop powerful new relationships and deepen important existing ones.

Work through these steps and I’m sure you’ll be amazed at how soon your goals become reality.

As a special incentive for you to take this simple step to making 2006 the year you take you're life into your own hands again. I've decided to offer the Empirical “Virtual Steps to Success” Program at the special pre-launch price of only $49.95.

That's right $49.95 for a full three months e-course that will change your life forever.

I know this sounds too cheap, but it is a special time limited offer and is only available to readers of my introductory e-book Take Control.

The full-price is $99.99 and once the time limited offer is over

But will it work? You bet! If you're prepared to follow the easy step by step plan, not only will you transform your life. I suspect the biggest suprise will be just how easy you found it!

I'm fact i'm so sure that if at the end of the three months you can honestly say that you've applied completed the exercises and don't believe the changes in your life were worth ten times the amount you paid. I'll give you your money back!

That's a cast iron guarantee!

So with that in mind, it seems like the only reasons you wouldn't take me up on my offer are:

  • You don't believe it will work? Well I'm very experienced in this area and have built my international practice following these principals and I'm prepared to bet my time on helping you turn your life around. Why wouldn't you give it a go?
  • Or it will be too hard? Well I let me ask you is it harder than another year of uncertainty and procrastination?
  • Is 2006 going to be your year? Click below and start on the adventure that is Empirical Living!
