#5: Marc Allen on Succeeding with Ease

I had way too much fun on this one with Marc Allen, who is one of the most interesting people I`ve ever met. Going from total failure during the first 30 years of his life to founding New World Library and publishing some of the most accomplished authors on the planet, this guy has seen it all. After publishing the works of Mother Theresa, Deepak Chopra, Joseph Campbell, and Eckhart Tolle`s The Power of Now, Marc is an incredible souce of wisdom and insights into following your dreams, living in the present moment, and succeeding with ease! Max Out Insights: When you`re at rock bottom, use experiments to change because at the worst you`ll end up where you are today 2 keys to create success with ease: 1) Have a clear, challenging, and expansive goal and 2) Realize that doubts and fears will arise and learn how to deal with them You`ll never regret going for your dreams Optimizing your life for joy, fulfillment, and following your dreams is the ultimate form of success Underlying Belief Process to let go of fear and anxiety: What`s the problem? What are you feeling physically? What emotions are you feeling? Name them. What repetitive thoughts are running through your head? What`s the worst that could happen? What`s the best thing that could happen? Your ideal scene? Why isn`t your ideal scene happening right now? > What comes up here is your underlying belief of why you aren`t succeeding yet What is the statement that counteracts that belief? What affirmation can you use? Hard work does not necessarily mean financial success, but smart work does > Make a plan Balance between work and rejuvenation is key to long-term success Taking naps and taking time off from the daily grind is an excellent way to become more productive Max Out Quotes: “I`m going to go for my dream, and my experiment is to do it in my own lazy way.” “Every moment is perfect to lead up to this moment now.” “Once you`re in a state of love and gratitude and appreciation, everything changes and every moment is precious.”
