"If you know what you could do, should do and want to do...why don't you do it?"

Can you relate to this: you start some kind of ambitious project and a few weeks later sort of wake up and realize you haven't worked on it for quite a while and aren't quite sure why it all went wrong? The only effect was to feel demoralized and less likely to take on another goal.

I've done that, and despite my excuses, I realized that most of the time WE are the thing stopping ourselves or sabotaging ourselves. And I decided to find a solution.

WHAT NOBODY'S TOLD YOU ABOUT CHANGE

Researching this over the years by studying hypnosis, NLP, cognitive therapy, rational-emotive behavior therapy, and various creativity and time management techniques revealed the following facts about change:

1. You have to align your emotions and your beliefs with your logic;
2. You have to be clear and determined about what you want but flexible about how to get it;
3. Anything that requires your time (which is most things, of course) can be added only if you eliminate something else;
4. It's easiest when you have support and feedback.

GET THE MISSING STEP THAT WILL HELP YOU FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE

I wrote about a lot of these elements in my book, "Focus: the power of targeted thinking" (Pearson Publishing) and it has had a good response-without any ads or major publicity, in the first year it sold 30,000 copies, was picked up for foreign editions by seven countries, and a new, expanded edition is planned for next year. But I realized that what was still missing was a step by step plan for using all of the tools in the book (and more that aren't in the book) and a support structure that will work with you as you work toward your writing goals.

That plan is what I'm calling the Breakthrough Strategy, because although we will put our attention on reaching a specific goal in 60 days, the extra benefit of this program is that you can use it again and again (and while we will focus on your writing goals, it works for other goals as well).

GET THE SUPPORT YOU'VE BEEN MISSING

The support function is something that's impossible to put into a book, so I'm adding weekly teleconferences (which will be recorded so you can hear them if you miss a session) and a forum on which all the participants can share their challenges and solutions and support each other. That's the "gold" version of the program. There is also a "platinum" version available that includes a one-hour one-to-one coaching session with me every week on the phone and email access to me for the entire 60 days, plus copies of my books ("Your Writing Coach" and "Focus: the power of targeted thinking"), a Power Trances CD and other extras--for information about that option, email me at j4london@aol.com).

YOUR PROOF THAT THIS WORKS

All of these materials have been tested and found to be extremely successful. Here are some comments from participants:

"The breakthrough project is proving valuable to me-encouraging me to focus on things I should have done a long time ago."

"I'm certainly enjoying the experience and hesitate to think what my life would look like right now had I not participated."

"The programme has been excellent! My goal is certainly well on the way to completion, and the whole process has been very helpful in obtaining this. ...I did achieve my goal of writing 50000 words. In fact, as of yesterday it was around 65000! ...I have also trained myself to write 500 to 1000 per session as a minimum. I put this down to chunking and microchunking, as well as keeping the goals visible and effective use of lists. The future interview has also been helpful in visualizing the goal, and utilising the 80/20 rule to identify what is the most important to me in terms of allocating time. The most important thing is that all these approaches, which work well for me, are now habit through repetition. I honesty believe these are the keys to success and maintaining Focus." - Nick Davis

"This was an exciting program and I really enjoyed focusing my writing goals...The conference calls were a real boost. 'The Manager' is also an incredible technique...Jurgen is a great coach. He is knowledgeable and able to respond to any challenge a person is going through with helpful advice." - Josh L.

HOW IT WILL WORK FOR YOU

I will be sending you forms to fill in and material in various formats that help you decide your goal, break it down into chunks, and anticipate and handle obstacles. The reporting requirement will not be heavy-I'll ask you for a progress report once a week and after the first week usually there will be only 4 questions that will keep you on target:

1. What progress did you make this week?
2. What obstacles (if any) did you encounter and how did you overcome them?
3. What will you achieve in the coming week and what (if anything) do you need to do differently in order to stay on course?
4. Is there any additional help you need and, if so, what is it?

There will be a forum that will allow us to support each other, report insights and request any help. I will also be sharing my own current goal and my progress toward it and the tools I'm using.

THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE

You know the traditional approach to resolutions: look back on all the things you meant to do last year but somehow didn't get around to (and often these are the things that would mean the most to you), start off doing them, and wake up a month or two later to find that your brave start has faded away and life goes on as before and you once again feel disappointed in yourself and drained of energy. Now consider an alternative:

You join the Breakthrough Strategy group and set a 60 day goal. You share the goal with the group (using a pen name if you prefer), and get guidance from my materials, from my weekly group coaching calls, and from the others in the group via the forum on our website. You make clear, steady progress over the course of the two months and achieve an important goal and feel full of energy and pride in yourself. For instance, if you're a writer you might use the time to outline a novel, get started on a screenplay, or write a proposal for a non-fiction book that gets you an agent or a publishing deal. Or you might choose an important non-writing goal (getting fit, starting your business, or learning a new skill, for instance). Isn't that an infinitely better way to lead your life?

YOUR INVESTMENT-AND MY GUARANTEE

For the next Breakthrough I am keeping the price at $299/ £180/ €207 . That's about the cost of having a cup of coffee at your favorite café every day.

I am also giving a full money-back guarantee-if by the end of week 3 you feel you are not getting what you expected or wanted, I will refund your money fully. Payment can be made with your credit card via PayPal (if you don't know how use PayPal, it's extremely easy and we'll send you the simple instructions).

If you have previously paid for the program, you can repeat it for only $99. Some of the material will be the same, some will be new, and of course the teleconferences will be different and you'll have the chance to get input on your specific goals and challenges. When you click the sign-up button below you will be able to choose this option if it applies to you.

HOW THE CHOICE YOU ARE ABOUT TO MAKE WILL AFFECT YOUR LIFE

Have you heard of the 'butterfly effect'? It states that the flapping of a butterfly's wings causes a tiny change, which causes another change, and so on for a million changes that finally result in a hurricane on the other side of the world. It's a useful metaphor for the decision you are about to make.

You can make the change of signing up now for the program, which will lead to you setting a goal that is really important to you, which will lead to you giving it the time it deserves instead of pushing it into the background or just spending time on everybody else's needs but yours, which leads to achieving that goal, which leads to feeling proud of yourself and having both the skills and the energy to continue on the path that will lead you to the life you really want. That might mean seeing your book on a best seller list, or watching your script get turned into a film or a TV show.

If you finally want to achieve your most important goals, please sign up now for the next Breakthrough Strategy Program. If you have any questions, send me an email at j4london@aol.com. On September 19 you will be ready to start changing your life for the better. I look forward to working with you.

Best wishes,
Jurgen Wolff

Ps: Remember that there's a full refund guarantee, so you're not risking anything-except finally moving powerfully in the direction you want for your life!
