Easy Steps For Instantly Becoming An Achievement Magnet CD #1
John: So if someone has developed their purpose, their burning red hot why; they've got rid and cleaned out all of their excuses and now they're focusing just on solutions, what's next?
James: Well step three then you need to have a strategy and an effective strategy, some step-by-step procedures, of how you're actually going to achieve what it is you would like to achieve.
One of the things that I always say is whenever you're going through something that you would like to achieve and you're stretching yourself, again, it is uncomfortable. Right? Don't focus on the process of doing it. Focus on the end result.
John: Okay.
James: Of how you're going to feel once you achieve it. How you're going to feel; how you're going to benefit. How those around you are going to benefit.
Lets take it back to these folks in Las Vegas that i'm helping get back in shape for the magazine that i'm working for. I told them, "I'm going to tell you something. You've got 4 months of working out three to four days a week and some of you haven't exercised for quite some time. The process that you are about to go through of doing the weights, doing the treadmill and trying to eat better; it's gonna suck. You're going to hate it. I am not going to sit here and try to fool you. You're going to hate it and you're going to want to quit. It's just natural. I'm telling you up front that it is not going to be fun, at least not for the first three to four weeks. I'm telling you right now so that when you experience that piece of being uncomfortable you already expected it because James told you."
John: Okay
James: "I don't want you to focus on the process of walking on the treadmill or eating this over this. I would like you to focus on the end result of how you're going to feel when you're done with this program and you did it and you succeeded."
Maybe you lost some weight. You got in better shape and you feel better. When you've stuck to the purpose of why you're doing this, focus on the outcome, not the process when you're following your strategy. Does that make sense?
John: Yes.
James: The second thing is I would like you to remind yourself, because this is so important that correct actions equal correct habits and those produce correct outcomes.
John: Say that one more time for me.
James: Correct actions equal correct habits equal correct outcomes. There is a lie that has been floating around forever. It is a myth that I need to dispel right now.
John: What is it?
James: That's that practice makes perfect.
John: I've heard that before. What's wrong with that?
James: Practice doesn't make perfect. Practice makes permanent. If you're practicing incorrectly. If you're doing the incorrect actions for anything you're trying to accomplish you develop incorrect habits; you produce incorrect outcomes. That's why I say in the beginning, it's correct actions equal correct habits equal correct outcomes.
Let me give you an example. When I played high school basketball, the three-point shooting line was going to be entered into high school basketball my senior year so my sophomore year I went and painted a three-point line on this basketball court by my house. For two years basically, before my senior year I was out there practicing shooting three-pointers to get my legs and my arms strong and to figure out how to shoot from this distance.
John: Muscle memory
James: Yes. Muscle memory. Exactly. I remember the first month or month and a half I was out there; I am out there shooting and I am shooting and I am shooting and I was bricking everything. I was throwing up so many bricks you would have thought I was building a house.
There was always one guy, a neighbor, Mr. Mason over in the corner who would sit on his porch swing in his yard and he would watch me. In a month or month and a half I can't make a shot. I am missing everything. At some point I exploded and I said, "I give up. I can't do this." I threw the ball across the street, took my shirt off and threw it down and I just exploded right on the court. He saw this.
He walked over to me and said, "Hey Malinchak come here. I'll tell you why you're missing your shots. I have been watching you for the last month, month and a half every day out here. You're working hard and in theory you're working smart, but you're not working right."
I said, "What do you mean." I said, "Mr. Mason were you ever a player?"
He said, "No I never played in my life."
I inquired, "Were you a coach?"
He said, "No I never coached."
I began thinking in my mind how in the world is this man who never played or never coached gonna tell me why I'm missing my shots. I said, "What do you mean?"
He said, "You're working hard and you're working smart in theory because you're out here practicing, but you're not working right. Your elbow is out on every shot. You're shooting curve balls. I am watching every shot curve."
He said, "If you just simply get the correct action by moving your elbow in and you work right and you do the correct procedure, I'll bet you you'll start making them." He was absolutely right. I started busting them. I was one of the top shooters my senior year from the three-point line and was recruited by major colleges all over the country.
That's why I say correct action; you've got to remember to do the correct actions, the correct actions produce the correct habits and the correct habits produce the correct outcomes for yourself.
John: It sounds like some of the correct actions just take a minor small adjustment, just like moving your elbow. Just a minor small movement that created a totally different effect.
