Here’s Why ‘The Secret’ Pissed Me Off…

Why The Secret is Over HypedI’m going to get straight to the point today…

Traditional “goal setting” is a giant load of BS and the movie The Secret was over-hyped and only gave half the story.

Here’s what I mean…

Every New Year’s Eve we’ve been told to set our goals for the coming year, and it goes like this…

* Write out a “wish” list on December 31…
* Toast it with champagne at 11:59 p.m….
* Forget all about it by noon January 2nd…
* Life is back to “normal” by January 3rd…

Sound familiar?

I’ve made the same mistake myself before I discovered how the “Law Of Attraction” really works — and WHY we REALLY get what we want from life. That’s when my life changed instantly for the better.

I’ve personally gone from earning $200/week performing professionally in theater (and in debt)…to selling millions online….while *still* participating in my passion of the arts (and now investing in them too)…and while being totally debt-free and financially independent with a killer “lifestyle” business that funds all of my crazy trips and adventures for both myself and my family.

Now my good friend and business partner, Jim Edwards, followed the traditional “wishing” strategy his whole adult life too and all it did was land him in a trailer park, lead him to the “poor house” and — ultimately — into a permanent heart condition.

But when he used the Law of Attraction, everything changed!

In fact, in the space of just 9 months, he went from bankrupt and living in a trailer park to owning his own home and earning a 6-figure income…in less than 24 months he paid off his house…in less than 36 months his wife quit her job and came to work with him full time…

…and in less than 48 months he had his life and finances arranged so that he would never have to work another day in his life if I don’t want to.

Are you curious what strategies enabled us to do this (and more importantly if it’s possible for you to make the same incredible changes in your own life)?

You should be!

That’s why if you want to change your life for the better in 2008, then clear your calendar right now for a special webinar event happening this Thursday, January 10, 2008 at 7:00 pm (ET). Because I’m going to grill Jim Edwards and have him pull back the curtain to teach you how YOU can do this in your own life (and a whole lot more!)

Real World Success Webinar

These are action steps and simple REAL WORLD techniques he’s never talked about before and they come from the last 10 years “in the trenches” actually DOING what I’ll be grilling him about.

Now we didn’t want to risk all of the details getting trapped in a spam filter, so we’ve posted the full story for you on this page:

Real World Success Webinar

Right now there are only 203 spaces remaining — and if this webinar plays out like the last ones, it will be totally ‘sold out’ in no time flat. So head over and grab your spot (and special $97 bonus surprise) while you can!

Talk to you soon,

Chris Zavadowski 🙂

P.S. – Remember the LIVE webinar happening THIS Thursday will teach you what ‘The Secret’ didn’t tell you about how to finally reach your goals. You’ll discover the simple action steps and real-world, proven techniques that will make 2008 your best year ever!

  1. Chris,

    I’ve used traditional goal setting to go from living in a basement apartment in one of the worst neighborhoods in the country taking public transportation everywhere and having a 2 – 3 hour daily commute to work to living in a brand new home, driving a brand new car paid for all cash and having a commute from my bedroom up the stairs to my office.

    So I was very surprised when I saw that you and Jim Edwards say that traditional goal setting doesn’t work.

    That being said, one of my mentors always says “If your stack is bigger than my stack, then I’m interested in what you have to say.”

    Unless you guys have some horrendous profit margins, I’m pretty sure your stack and Jim’s stack are bigger than mine.

    So I will be there on Thursday night to hear what you guys have to say about goal setting.

    See you there!

  2. Hi Roosevelt,

    Thanks for your comments…we’ve been getting some great feedback already!

    I think you’ll appreciate what we’re talking about Thursday night – traditional goal setting BY ITSELF doesn’t work. In fact I’m willing to bet the great successes you achieved (congratulations on the massive things you achieved!!!!) are because you did goal setting AND what we’ll be talking about on Thursday night. The problem is that most people who have success are unconsciously competent about what they are doing….so they can easily point the finger at the writing everything down, but they don’t realize other steps went into making it a reality.

    There are critical things that have to occur after the goals are written down…because if writing what we wanted down on a piece of paper (ie traditional goal setting) was enough…we’d all be living on a beach with beautiful women bringing us margaritas. 😉 Unfortunately that’s the big problem with “The Secret”…it doesn’t cover the actions needed to bring great things into reality.

    (As an aside, if you were on Yanik Silver’s teleseminar today with Christine Comaford-Lynch, it was ironic timing that she actually brought up that same point about the movie/book.)

    Anyway – I look forward to having you on our webinar this Thursday. We started planning this awhile back, so it’s gonna have a lot of great information…we’ll make sure of it! 😉

    See you Thursday!

    Chris 🙂
    PS – Make sure you post your comments here afterward and let me know what you think!

  3. Hi Chris,

    I just got off the webinar. It was FANTASTIC!!!

    Yes you are correct, the successes that I have had have are because I did the traditional goal setting AND I did what you guys talked about on the webinar. I even remember my wife telling me that when she was cleaning that apartment she use to IMAGINE cleaning our house. I use to spend countless hours daydreaming what it would be like to run my own business from home. You guys knocked the ball out of the park with this one.

    One of the biggest takeaways I got from this was the point about not putting a deadline on the goal, but putting a deadline on the action steps that you need to take to make the goal a reality. Although I have had success in the past putting a deadline on the goal, I do have some goals that I haven’t acheived yet that I’ve been working on for quite a while now and I believe one of the reasons why I haven’t achieved them is exactly because I’ve been putting deadlines on the goals instead of the actions that I need to take to reach the goal.

    Thanks again, I look forward to learning more from both you and Jim in the future!
