Vision

Mr. Canfield recommends having lots of "wants." My initial goal was to generate about 30 pictures of things that I wanted. Turns out that that is an awful lot of stuff, things, achievements and circumstances. Even with a fully loaded Pinterest account to choose from, 30 life changes is significant. There are 11 pictures represented here.

Be Clear Why Your Here

This is the second of Jack Canfield's Success Principles. Because I've been working a lot on my resume, lately, I think of this principle as a resume objective. After a bit of thought, my purpose is to empower people and businesses through the written word. I've noticed that companies often do not have the proper level of documentation and often rely on the experience of their employees and a good deal of luck for things to happen correctly. A lot of money can be saved by just taking a moment to observe what is going on and set up a procedure to follow. Also, writing things down allows for the creative process to continue beyond the mundane day-to-day tasks and really think up unique solutions to problems.

Success Principles

Jack Canfield wrote a book called The Success Principles. He has said in numerous interviews that all you need to do to be successful is work the principles. I've had this book for a number of years now, and I would like a higher level of success than I currently have. To achieve this, I am simply going to work the principles in order and record my exercises and results here, and I will see if the principles truly work. There are a total of 64 principles. Since anyone can buy the book and read it; I'm going to limit this blog to my own personal experience with the principles, which means I may skip writing about some of them or not fully go into the "how" of my process. These next few entries are merely to capture the "why" of my process. I hope to keep the same "Smash Journal" type feel that I have had in previous posts.
