CONCLUSION
TAKING YOUR LIFE TO THE NEXT LEVEL
Congratulations, now you have the Win Fast formula. A series of unusual, proven and powerful ways to massively increase your level of success, quickly and efficiently.
This stuff works. I use many of these techniques when I coach executives, entrepreneurs and ambitious people all over the world. They routinely report that the methods in this book have helped them monumentally to increase their income, well-being and happiness.
Now its your turn. Youve got the toolkit for change; now you have to use it consistently. The world is full of people who read books and then put them on the shelf, the concepts never to be utilized in their life. They came so close to designing a life of richness and fulfillment, only to falter at the point of action.
But not you. You are different from the masses. Youre committed to transformation, not just information. Thats how you ended up choosing this book and reading it all the way through. You are going to take the systems in Win Fast and use them to better your life in all four of the areas of work, personal life, health and mindset.
Here are some tips for making the most of the Win Fast system.
IDENTIFY THE CRUCIAL FEW.
Remember the 64/4 Rule? It applies with this book, too. Out of the 80 methods in Win Fast , there will be a handful that will have made an extra impact on you. These are the ones where as soon as you read them you realized they were exactly what you needed to transform your life or work.
Perhaps one directly addressed how to overcome an obstacle that youve struggled with for years. Or maybe you tried another and found that you enjoyed almost instant improvements. I am sure there are some that you just know that youll be using again and again through your life. Please create a list of these.
KEEP THEM FRONT AND CENTER IN YOUR LIFE.
I have conducted a lot of experiments in my own life in order to work out how I can increase the chances of putting effective life-improvement techniques into action. Ive found that when I set up reminders I can make remarkable change happen, and when I dont keep the concepts at the top of my mind I tend to forget them.
Thats why I strongly advise that you stick up your crucial few short list of concepts somewhere youll see them often. It could be on a Post-it Note on your desk or up on a wall in your bathroomor even on a card in your purse or wallet.
The more you see them, the more the concepts will be in your mindand the more they are in your mind, the more you will act on them. When you read these techniques each day, you set the stage for momentous life improvements to happen.
PERSIST AND REFINE.
As you know, there are some pretty radical ideas in the Win Fast system. You may think some even border on weird! I know from my own experience that they are all extremely effective, but in some cases you may need to try them a few times to experience their full force.
Please keep this in mind when you initially struggle with a method. If it appealed to you originally, then it is almost certainly worthwhile persisting with, to see if you can get it to work.
For example, some of the mind techniques I present often take a few tries before they become natural for many people, but they are exceedingly valuable tools for life enhancement and are well worth using.
Likewise when it comes to refining the techniques. As you use them in your own life, you may have the urge to adapt them a little to fit your own needs. Thats absolutely fine; in fact I recommend it. Tailor them as you see fit. The important thing is that they work for you and that you are comfortable with them, so if that means you alter them to fit your needs then thats totally appropriate.
SHARE THEM.
There are two advantages to sharing some of your favorite Win Fast techniques with people who matter to you.
The first is that its a well-known fact among professional educators that when you have to teach a concept to others, it considerably deepens your own understanding of it. If you really want to grasp anything at a higher level, teach it to someone.
The second reason is that the more successful and evolved the people around you are, the better your own life will be. And, of course, theirs as well. Imagine if your closest friends and loved ones were all using this system to better their lives and increase their happiness. That would exponentially uplift each of your lives.
BELIEVE IN YOUR ABILITY TO CHANGE.
My final tip is to always keep at the forefront of your mind that whatever level you are now at, you can rise higher.
The core foundation of change is the conviction that change is possible.
Once you truly believe deep inside that you can become better, smarter, faster, richer or happier, you have won half the battle.
That kind of self-belief is a choice that you make. I urge you to make it right now.
From this moment onwards take the position that you deserve to have an even greater life, that youre capable of doing so and that youre committed to rising to a new stratosphere of excellence.
With this book you now possess an extraordinary armory of techniques that if you apply consistently, can greatly improve almost any aspect of your life. All thats needed now is the will to do so and the belief that you can.
Go for it.
