How many of us wake up on January 1st bound and determined to turn over a new leaf? Of this number, how many are still at more than a week or so later? Sadly, my best guess is that only a few people make it much more than a week. What happens? Where does the moral and motivational fervor we feel on December 31st go and why does it dissipate so rapidly?

One word: homeostasis.

Your body and mind are designed for sameness. Humans love stability in everything from our body temperature and heart rates to our habits. Change, no matter how welcome or how badly needed, is calamitous. You’ve probably had at least one major change in your life and it was probably one of the most stressful changes you’ve ever experienced. Our subconscious minds will try every trick it can think of to resist change at all cost. Make some radical change, such as a new resolution, and your body will immediately try to undermine you. You may have no idea how you’re undermining to yourself until it’s too late. This is no accident. Your subconscious mind is constantly doing everything in power to keep the homo sapiens (you) in stasis (in your comfort zone). Homeostasis.

The good news is that you can hotwire this inner programming and make whatever changes you want in your life or business using a very simple 4-step process:

First, define your goal right down to the who, what, where, when, why, how, and so what.

The second step is to break your goals down into simple actions that you can take each week to grow your MOXXOR business. Having done that, forget everything but the current week’s step. Next week isn’t here yet, so worrying about that step is pointless. Last week is done and gone. Focus solely on this week. Do you see what you’ve done? Your huge lofty goal has just become manageable in a way that lets you see results very quickly.

The third step is to take the actions you need to take for that week.

Finally, decide in advance how you’re going to reward yourself for achieving your week’s milestone. Don’t go overboard; you need not spend a lot of money or go to much trouble. It must, however, be creative and meaningful to you on more than a superficial level.

These easy steps render even the most complicated goals simple by letting you bite off one small piece at a time. Best of all, you get to celebrate and feel great about every single little piece. Life is a journey. You may as well enjoy it.

You can apply this process any way you like. Want to start a new MOXXOR business? Grow your existing MOXXOR business? Lose weight? Hire additional help? Get a professional certification or degree? Prepare and file your taxes? You can do it, and this process can help because it tricks the mind in to thinking that things are remaining stable when tremendous changes might in fact be happening. This slow, measured change is like stepping slowly into cold water. Do it slowly enough and you’ll get used to the water.

Don’t stop making goals or resolutions. Just use this system to make sure you succeed with those resolutions. So… what would you like to accomplish this year?

The secret to success in your MOXXOR business is to be good to yourself and what you want out this life by using this simple 4-step process. Do that and you will succeed beyond your wildest dreams! That’s a promise.
