PART ONE: What's
the LAW OF PROBABILITY
2 people are asked to throw darts & get a bulls-eye under 2 different conditions:
Condition 1:
He's
drunk, room is dimly lit, he has endless supply of darts, never threw a dart in his life, no experience with dart-throwing,
dart board is 30 ft away
Condition 2:
He's
sober, well lit room, endless supply of darts, he was trained by the best dart thrower in town, he's had 5 years experience,
board is 15 ft away
Which of them will have a higher probability of success?
Condition 2, of course.
The Question is: does he have
the power to change those conditions?
Soberness?_______________________
Lighting in room?___________________
Training & experience?______________
Distance from board?_______________
(if
you answered NO to any of these questions, especially about the soberness, you're below the line... Get a coach and get back
up!)
So the LAW OF PROBABILITY states:
When you change the conditions, you change the results of your life.
PART TWO: How can I increase probability of success?
1. Have a VISION.
Law of Belief: what you believe will attract or repel. When you believe it, you will see
it! So choose your picture of your future and choose useful beliefs to get you there
2.
Add KNOWLEDGE to your vision.
Get smart about what you want to accomplish in life.
If you have a million pounds now, either you will raise your knowledge to the level of that million pounds... or that million
pounds will reduce to the level of your ability. Look at people who win the lottery; how soon do they lose the money?
3. Your gifts are given, but you need to develop the SKILL to use it
I
have the gift of music, but I need to develop the skill to sing or play the piano. You have the gift of numbers, but you need
to develop skill to be a great accountant. You have the gift of sports, but you need to develop the skill to be a tennis champ.
4. Add ASSOCIATIONS. Hang out with the right people. You are affected by the company you
keep
5. Manage your TIME, TALENT, AND TREASURY. These things go where
you direct them to go, so watch it.
6. Learn to SEIZE OPPORTUNITIES QUICKLY.
Opportunities don't knock for everyone. They stand in the shadows waiting to be recognized by someone looking for it
7. Be SELF MOTIVATED. If you need a big bus to move you into action, I guess you'll just
have to bear and wait for the next one to arrive. Or... you can get your own bum moving. That's faster!
8. PERSEVERE. C'mon, you really think Rome was built in a day?
9.
Have FAITH. Faith is the willingness to take intelligent risks. Count the costs, but don't count too long.
