The following transcription was done by me from an 'ancient' audio interview between Joe Vitale and Pete Siegel. It is actually better with the voices, but the information is nonetheless wonderful for empowering yourself today and everyday:
EXCERPT:
Pete: (after a guided imagery exercise on a recorded call with Joe) re: "I want you to think about a situation (and he names a few kinds of things) where you felt "this reluctance, this 'I don't know,' this unsurenes, this tentativeness..."
"And I am going to visualize right now that all of you are seated in an auditorium, or a ballroom where I do my seminars... and now I can see that just about everyone on the call has their (left) arm raised because they have felt these things and have responded by raising their left arm... and now (after this exercise) if you think you feel differently now than you did when you first focused on it, and now, not only do you feel like you can do it, you feel that you really want to do it now, in fact you can't wait to do it now, then I want you to let your (left) arm raise up even higher, and I want you to silently, mentally say these words: "I am stronger than I let myself be; I am more capable than I let myself realize; I have greater ability than I give myself credit for; I am a person of success, action, impact and I know I can do this thing and I know I can succeed." (And he ends the visualization... "and now very slowly lower your arm, letting the palm of your left hand rest comfortably on your left thigh.")
"And I want you all to understand now that this -- (re: his earlier exercise of clenching your right fist and focusing on your breathing the way someone who feels they're totally on top of things breathes, and mentally exclaiming your "keyword" once) -- produces that same feeling.
So, before a meeting, before an important phone call, before you want to talk to a boss, a supervisor, a manager to ask for a raise, or to communicate some kind of sentiment that you feel is important, before you discipline your children, or have a discussion with your husband or wife, or any other aspect of life, where confidence and being an impact person and performance master is important to you... don't just hope it happens, or see if it will happen... prepare yourself internally so you give yourself the absolute best chance that it will. And now I've just given every one of you an amazingly powerful resource enabling you to do that.
Joe: Oooh, Wow! Pete... you are amazing. I'm coming out of my own trance here. It seems like if you could stay where you've just put us, our impact, our resolves would be way more than they usualy are. So how do you keep bringing more of this out of yourself?
Pete: You have to have a plan. You have to have some kind of structure... an activation strategy... some kind of system that moves you to develop the resources and capacities... and the elements and the attributes that you know you have within yourself right now... and mobilize them into a force that stimulates positive success / impact / action.
If you want to lose weight, what would those actions be? Keeping only kinds of certain foods in your house; learning how to change your emotional preferences to foods that are healthier and better for you; to work out what kinds of actions would those be: joining a gym, finding a personal trainer; finding a workout partner; developing the best routine you could; reading the bodybuilding and the fitness magazines to find out what works, talking with, staying with, and forming relationships with like-minded people; if it's increasing your income, reading magazines about opportunities that are out there; buying specific knowledge courses (for example in real estate in the cash-flow-note business); learning how to start your own business; learning some kind of marketing, becoming some kind of entrepreneur... developing some kind of product or a service and then devising a specific plan to make people aware that that kind of product or service exists. It all takes confidence.
But you know what, folks? If you clench your right fist, and breathe the way someone who is on top of things breathes and says your keyword... that's the feeling that you have right now. And then you work this plan, this strategy.
That's what you need: a strategy, a system; and you make dealing with... moving further into developing "the more of you" into your life. It's not something that you say, "I would really love that; I would like... (he gives examples of "ladies" and men "wanting" to go into a different dress size / belt size); it's something that you say to yourself, 'I am going to develop a plan. I am going to structure a process; and then I am going to transform into the embodiment of the confidence that I need that each day addresses what I have to do within that process until I get what I'm after.
Now the more of you there is, the more effective, commanding, and the more ultimately successful that you'll be in your business and your life. Let me say that again, so you can really grasp onto that statement. As you begin to develop yourself; as you begin to explore, and exploit and cultivate the resources of confidence, positive expectancy, optimism, total conviction, personal drive, personal initiative, success-impact-self-image, magnitude- self-esteem, you develop and become more; and the more of you there is, the more effective, commanding, and ultimately successful you'll be in your business and personal lives.
The more confident and emotionally strong you are, the more boldness you'll then generate in your actions, words, and the kinds of growth and profit-targeted risks you'll take in your business, and your life. What kind of profit-targeted risks do I mean, taking in your personal life? Standing up and saying what you mean; going for what you want instead of waiting, and hoping and wishing and dreaming to see if someone else can connect with you so you can feel supported by them, strengthened by them, empowered by them... because waiting equals what?
Waiting equals failure, doesn't it, folks? Let's be honest here: How many things have you waited for, and hoped that someone else would come through for you and they haven't, and you didn't follow thru and do it for yourself?
That's the answer. That's the answer...to become the kind of person, and personality, who becomes self-reliant; self-initiating; a self-starter; and a follow-thru finisher. The more mentally tougher you become - and ladies, this applies to you as well - the more emphatic your decisions; the more comprehensive your overview; and direction regarding things you can do to bolster your success that you've never done, or considered that you could do before.
The mentally tougher you become, the more emphatic and targeted your decisions become, and the more comprehensive your overview regarding what you actually can do becomes. And the more you feel an equality with your fellow man regarding your ability, your capacity for excellence and your capacity for efficiency, the more you'll then go after things and get them done. Now let that really sink down way deep within you. Let it become part of you. Just like the apple that you eat becomes part of your bloodstream.
Listen to this again now: The more you feel an equality toward your fellow man, regarding your ability, your capacity for excellence, and your capacity for efficiency, the more you'll then go after things and get them unequivocally done. Ok? The plan is a step-by-step approach to bring the most and best out of yourself so that you can start doing what you truly can, and step beyond, decisively, demonstrably beyond... the small, reserved, limited-routine you, so that the part of you that you experienced in the process that we just did a moment ago, continues to live and grow and thrive and flourish in you, and to think in you, to BE You Always.
Joe: Now speaking of systems.... (sales process begins in which Pete describes his method as appropriate. Joe just went thru one and glows about it....) so, how does anybody get there? Into dynamic performance; and how to move yourself decisively from where you are now to where you want to be, and how to get yourself out of your own way so that you can continually move in that direction... there is even a "Joe Vitale" discount for the listeners of this free call (and for that you can apparently still go to www.amazingconfidence.com).
