0:06Hello and welcome to day two of
0:09Lifebook's 30-day challenge. I'm so glad
0:11to have you here with me today.
0:13Yesterday we explored having it all in
0:16life, which is the whole focus of this
0:1830-day challenge. What having it all
0:20means, what having it all looks like,
0:23and today we're going to go a little bit
0:25deeper into how to do that.
0:28But before we do, how about that stop
0:30doing exercise that you did yesterday?
0:33Was that not one of the most freeing and
0:34empowering things that you've ever done?
0:36Lifebook members love that exercise and
0:39it's so valuable. Your stop doing list
0:42is so incredibly important. Not only is
0:44it going to make room for this 30-day
0:46challenge so that you can do this
0:47challenge properly, but it's going to
0:49allow you to focus a higher and higher
0:51percentage of your time on the truly
0:53important things in your life,
0:55and less and less of your energy on the
0:58meaningless distractions. And that's
1:00going to make a big difference in your
1:01life.
1:02So I hope that you continue to add to
1:05that stop doing list all the time. I
1:07hope that it grows and grows over the
1:09years. The things that you're just not
1:11going to do in your life. I know mine
1:13has. This is sure to be a very, very
1:16powerful tool in your personal
1:19development arsenal.
1:20Okay, now on today two.
1:24If our ultimate goal in this 30-day
1:26challenge and in life is to create an
1:29extraordinary life that works at a high
1:32level in every important area, the very
1:35first question we got to ask ourselves
1:37is, what are the important areas that we
1:40need to focus on?
1:41Well, at Lifebook we've been studying
1:43this subject for over 25 years. And over
1:46the course of that time, we've
1:48identified 12 key life categories that
1:52absolutely have to be addressed in order
1:55for you to have it all, which you're
1:56going to find really, really valuable.
1:59I'm going to share that list with you
2:00now, and I'm going to do it by featuring
2:03a short clip from Lifebook's flagship
2:06program, which was made over 10 years
2:08ago. And this is going to be a rhythm
2:09that we're going to use all the way
2:11through this 30-day course. We're going
2:13to share some of the most profound
2:15moments. I've hand-selected them myself.
2:17This is the game-changer information,
2:20the content from the Lifebook program.
2:22And we're going to do it not only to
2:24increase the power of this 30-day
2:27challenge, but also to familiarize you
2:30with our core methodology, because that
2:33is going to be what changes your life.
2:36So, here now is a clip from the original
2:38Lifebook program that describes what a
2:41Lifebook is and the 12 categories that
2:45it's based on.
2:47Lifebook is a beautifully illustrated
2:50book about your life.
2:52Its purpose is simple and powerful.
2:56To define, in detail, exactly what you
2:59want your life to be in every single
3:01important area.
3:03It's a blueprint for your ideal life.
3:06It's a workbook, a place to organize
3:08your thinking.
3:10If you have a Lifebook, you know who you
3:12are and you know what you're all about.
3:15You know, with clarity, what you want
3:17out of life and why.
3:19And you know what you need to do to get
3:20it.
3:21If you have a Lifebook, you've created
3:24an ideal self-concept.
3:29That's a lot to wrap your mind around,
3:31right? How do we get that done? How do
3:34we design a Lifebook?
3:37Well, the Lifebook design process is
3:39actually very simple. It's not easy, but
3:42it's simple.
3:43We look deeply at 12 categories of your
3:47life.
3:48And we ask the same four questions in
3:50each category.
3:52What do I believe?
3:53What do I want?
3:55Why do I want it?
3:57And what do I need to do to get it?
4:00Let's take a look at the 12 categories.
4:05The first section of your life book is
4:07called my personal life and it contains
4:10five of the 12 categories.
4:13Your personal life can be defined as you
4:16separate from the rest of the world.
4:19The five categories in this section
4:21don't depend on anyone but you.
4:23Most things in life require the
4:25cooperation of other people.
4:27It takes two people to make a good
4:28marriage. It takes two to make a good
4:31friendship. Your career success is
4:34dependent on your relationship with your
4:36boss or your employees.
4:39But the five categories in your personal
4:41life section, they're all you.
4:44Here's what they're called.
4:46The first is my health and fitness.
4:49This category is about your body, inside
4:52and out.
4:54The second is my intellectual life.
4:57This category is about your mind. It's
4:59about thinking.
5:01The third is my emotional life.
5:05This category is about your feelings,
5:07what they are, where they come from, and
5:09why they're so important.
5:12Next is my character.
5:15This category is about your inner
5:17nature, who you are as a person.
5:19What you're all about as a human being.
5:22And lastly,
5:24my spiritual life.
5:26This category addresses the deep
5:28questions.
5:30Why am I here? Why do I exist? What's
5:32the purpose of my life?
5:37Your personal life is about who you are
5:40as a human being, your mind, your body,
5:43and your spirit.
5:45These categories are foundational
5:47because everything else in your life is
5:49based on them.
5:51Your personal life will determine the
5:53quality of your relationships, your
5:54career success, your financial
5:57abundance, everything in your life.
6:01The next section of your life book is
6:04about your relationships with other
6:05people, the most important people in
6:07your life.
6:08We look at three different types of
6:10relationships on your life book journey.
6:13The first category is called my love
6:15relationship. This deals with your
6:18relationship with your spouse or your
6:20life partner.
6:21Next, we look at parenting, your
6:24relationship with your children.
6:26And finally, my social life, which is
6:29the term that we use to describe your
6:31relationship with your friends and your
6:33extended family.
6:37The quality of your relationships will
6:39have a profound impact on your overall
6:42quality of life, so we go deep into
6:45these issues. You'll define exactly what
6:47you want out of each of these
6:48relationships, you'll create a clear
6:51vision and a strategy to move toward it.
6:55The third section of your life book
6:57focuses on your business life and it
7:00contains two categories.
7:02The first is called my financial life.
7:05This is about money, what it is, how
7:08wealth is created, and what we need to
7:10do to create financial abundance in our
7:13own lives.
7:14The second is my career. This category
7:17is about your work.
7:19We think about how to take it to the
7:20next level, whether you're a
7:22stay-at-home mom or a Fortune 500 CEO.
7:26As we'll see, the category of finances
7:29and career are very, very connected, but
7:32they must be thought about separately.
7:34And a strategy has to be created for
7:36them separately.
7:39The fourth section of your life book
7:41contains only one category. It's called
7:44quality of life.
7:46This is where we focus on the things
7:47that you want and the experiences that
7:49you want to have in your life. Fun and
7:52adventure.
7:53This is where your dream house lives,
7:55your summer cottage, your boats, your
7:58cars, your villa by the sea, exotic
8:01travel, or whatever it is for you.
8:04This is sort of a payoff at the end of
8:05the day, the stuff you want, the things
8:08you want to be surrounded by, and the
8:10experiences that you want to enjoy in
8:12your life.
8:15The last section of life book is called
8:17life vision.
8:19This category is about your future.
8:22It's a vivid description of what you
8:24want your life to be like 5 years from
8:27now.
8:28If all your desires came true in every
8:30category,
8:31what would that look like?
8:33Your life vision is ultimately what this
8:36program's about because it's what
8:37everything else adds up to.
8:40These 12 categories make up your life.
8:44They're really all you need to think
8:45about.
8:46And that's exactly what we're going to
8:48do on this life book journey. We're
8:49going to think about each and every one
8:52of them.
8:57So, that was me 10 years ago describing
8:59the most important categories that we
9:01need to focus on in order to create a
9:03truly extraordinary life for ourselves.
9:06Now, what we're going to be doing during
9:08this 30-day challenge is we're going to
9:09be exploring those categories, exploring
9:12profound insights, principles, and most
9:15importantly, exercises that we'll be
9:18doing in these categories over the next
9:2030 days to really, really move the
9:22needle in your life.
9:24So, now that you're familiar with the 12
9:26categories we're going to be looking at,
9:28the next question, if we want to create
9:29an extraordinary life that works at a
9:31high level in every one of these areas,
9:33is how do we get extraordinary? How do
9:35we achieve excellence in every one of
9:38these areas of our lives simultaneously?
9:41Well, here's something most people just
9:44don't know.
9:45Excellence anywhere in your life comes
9:48down to one thing. It comes down to the
9:50quality of the decisions that you make
9:53every day.
9:54That's what determines the life that you
9:56have. Now, it's not so much the big
9:58decisions as it is the small decisions
10:01that will determine every important
10:03outcome in your life. You know, most of
10:05the choices and actions that literally
10:08control your existence on this planet
10:10are small and easy, and that's a
10:12little-known truth.
10:14If you want an amazing life, if you want
10:16an awesome, absolutely extraordinary
10:20life,
10:21if you're serious about having it all,
10:23not just thinking about it, not just
10:25talking about it, but actually creating
10:27it, then one of the most important
10:29concepts you could ever understand is
10:31this.
10:32Those small choices that we just talked
10:34about, they accumulate.
10:36They add up.
10:38And they become really, really big.
10:41They may seem small if you take them
10:43individually,
10:44but when you look at the cumulative
10:46effect they have, you realize that these
10:48are the decisions that truly and
10:51undeniably move the needle in your life.
10:53These small daily decisions are the most
10:55important choices that you'll make. They
10:58control your health. They control your
11:00character, your relationships, your
11:02career success, your financial
11:05abundance. They control everything in
11:08your entire life.
11:10For instance,
11:11do I work out right now? Or do I spend
11:14the next hour snacking and watching
11:16reality TV?
11:18Do I answer my spouse right now, in this
11:21moment, with anger or with kindness?
11:25Do I write that nasty email, or do I
11:27allow myself to cool down first?
11:30Do I spend time with my kids right now,
11:32or am I going to spend the next 2 hours
11:34going over the spreadsheets?
11:36Do I buy that purse that I really don't
11:38need or do I put the extra $500 in my
11:41investment account this month?
11:43These aren't big decisions. These are
11:45small decisions, but there's a lot of
11:47them. They come every single day. And
11:50every life is created by how you make
11:54these choices. Whether it's a fantastic,
11:56fulfilling, successful life where you
11:59wake up full of joy and enthusiasm and
12:01you just can't wait to get to the day,
12:03or a lousy, unfulfilling life of
12:06frustration where you dread going to
12:08work, you dread seeing your spouse, you
12:10dread facing the challenges of the day,
12:13or any kind of a life in between.
12:15It's the hundreds and thousands of
12:19small, pretty easy, and seemingly
12:22insignificant decisions that you make
12:25every day that will really add up to
12:28your life.
12:29Now, I'm not taking anything away from
12:31the big decisions. The big decisions are
12:33important, too, but guess what? There
12:35aren't very many of them. You know,
12:37which school to go to, which house to
12:39buy, which person you're going to marry,
12:41which company you're going to work for.
12:43You're going to make a handful of these
12:45decisions in your entire life.
12:48It's the small things that make almost
12:51all of the difference.
12:53Having it all
12:54comes down to the quality of your
12:56decisions everywhere in your life on a
12:59daily basis. And most of those decisions
13:02are small and relatively easy to make.
13:05There's not a single thing on the list
13:07that we've talked about so far that's
13:08like big or overly difficult to do, but
13:12it's the cumulative effect these choices
13:15have that will literally control your
13:17destiny.
13:19So now I want to address what could be
13:22seen as a disconnect. And here's what it
13:24is.
13:25If an incredible, amazing, extraordinary
13:28quality of life depends on a bunch of
13:30easy little choices, which it does,
13:33then why doesn't everyone have an
13:35extraordinary quality of life, which
13:37almost no one does?
13:39Well, that's an excellent question, and
13:40here's the answer.
13:42Because it's a project of monumental
13:45proportions to even identify what small
13:49actions you need to take in the first
13:51place, let alone keep track of them, and
13:53take action on them all simultaneously
13:56across the board in order to create your
13:59extraordinary life.
14:01No one single choice is that difficult
14:03to execute. What's difficult is to
14:05execute all of them at the same time.
14:08The width is mind-boggling. And
14:10remember, a big lapse anywhere in your
14:14life is a failure everywhere in your
14:16life. It It breaks the chain. And you
14:18see this all the time with people.
14:20They've got success in one or two two
14:21areas of their lives, but they're messed
14:24up in others. And that's not what we
14:25want. We've already covered that. We
14:27want excellence everywhere in our life.
14:30So, you talk to a random person on the
14:32street and lay out, you know, the dozens
14:35and dozens and dozens of small daily
14:37choices that they're going to have to
14:39make across every area of their lives in
14:42order to have an extraordinary life, and
14:44it would be too much. I mean, they would
14:46immediately check out mentally. Because
14:49I think it's seemingly impossible for
14:51most people to get a handle on that.
14:56But at Lifebook, this is what we do. We
14:58help you get a handle on it. It's
14:59literally our expertise. We help you
15:02define what excellence looks like for
15:04you in every important area of your
15:06life, and then we help you define the
15:08small daily choices and actions that add
15:12up to excellence in every category. And
15:14that's gold.
15:16Because that's your recipe for creating
15:18the highest possible quality of life
15:21that you're capable of living.
15:23And once you're conscious of what your
15:26custom, unique, extraordinary life
15:28entails, you just got to start making as
15:31many of those little choices right as
15:34often as you possibly can. You know,
15:37choose those healthy meals regularly. Do
15:40your workout every single day. Do your
15:43morning affirmation. Do your meditation.
15:45Delight your spouse. Really light her up
15:48or light him up, whatever it is for you.
15:51Just remember, consistency is the key.
15:55So, you want to be as consistent as you
15:57possibly can with these choices. Stay
15:59with it. Stay diligent. Be disciplined.
16:04And you know what's going to happen over
16:05time?
16:07Those behaviors that you're engaged in
16:09will become habitual. They will
16:12generalize into your life. And over
16:14time, you'll integrate that vision for
16:18the extraordinary life you want so
16:20deeply with what you think, what you
16:23say, and what you do that it's going to
16:26become second nature. It's going to
16:28become your lifestyle. And that's when
16:30personal development really takes off.
16:34Neale Donald Walsch said, "Every
16:37decision you make, every decision, is
16:39not a decision about what to do. It's a
16:42decision about who you are."
16:45When you see this, and when you
16:46understand it, everything changes. You
16:49begin to see life in a whole new way.
16:52So, what we're going to do over the
16:54course of this 30-day challenge is we're
16:56going to help you make a bunch of good,
16:59little decisions consistently across
17:02every important area of your life. And
17:04we're going to do a powerful exercise
17:07that'll really move the needle in every
17:09area of your life as well.
17:12Over the next 30 days, we're going to
17:14prove to you that you can take control
17:17over every aspect of your life. Or more
17:19specifically, and accurately, and
17:22importantly, you're going to prove that
17:24to yourself.
17:25Now,
17:26full transparency, perfect honesty, that
17:29doesn't mean that you're going to be
17:30living your ideal life in a month.
17:32Making millions of dollars a year,
17:34having the love of your dreams, being in
17:36perfect shape. Remember, we don't
17:38you here at Lifebook. This is a
17:41rational, reality-based course. So,
17:44creating an extraordinary life takes
17:45time, and it takes effort, and it takes
17:47consistency.
17:49That's the deal. If you want to get
17:50everything you want out of life, that's
17:51the program you're signing up for. At
17:54Lifebook, we help people do this for
17:57real.
17:58And that's a big job for people who are
18:00serious about their success.
18:03This transformational 30-day challenge
18:05has been designed to prove to you that
18:08you can actually take control over these
18:10areas of your life and move the needle
18:12significantly. You can be the cause of
18:15the effect that you want everywhere.
18:18You're capable of doing this. And, you
18:20know, you can have a massive effect on
18:22the outcomes of your life. And it all
18:24starts with this 30-day challenge.
18:26And that's going to be worth its weight
18:27in gold, because it's the foothold you
18:30need to start making powerful progress
18:33and getting your momentum going.
18:36So, let's move on to your exercise for
18:39day two.
18:41My mentor, Dr. Nathaniel Brandon, used
18:44to have a saying, "You can't leave a
18:47place you've never been."
18:49In order to take your life where you
18:51really want it to go, it's critical that
18:53you understand your starting point, that
18:55you understand where you are today.
18:58And that's why at the outset of any
19:00Lifebook program, we ask you to take our
19:02powerful Introspect Assessment to
19:05evaluate where you currently are across
19:08every important area of your life.
19:10Introspect is one of the most powerful
19:13and unique lifestyle assessments in the
19:15world. Takes about 20 minutes. Your
19:17results are completely confidential. And
19:20it's likely going to be very eye-opening
19:22for you because it'll give you a clear
19:24picture of the categories that you're
19:26doing really well in and the categories
19:28that you most need to improve.
19:30We'd like you to take this assessment so
19:32that you can track your progress over
19:33the next 30 days. You're going to take
19:35it once now and then again at the end of
19:38this challenge so that you can see how
19:40you've transformed over a short 30-day
19:42period using these fundamental Lifebook
19:45tools and strategies.
19:48So, please take Lifebook's Introspect
19:50assessment now.
