How to produce a breakthrough and see your goals zoom forward!

I’ve alluded to my Daily Practice for producing breakthroughs a couple times, but I thought I would share a bit more now.

I created the Daily Practice while working with a small team of people in a business setting. A department head had asked me to work with his team. Ask asked him what he wanted the result of the work to be and, after some conversation, we agreed that the goal would be that every person experienced a breakthrough relative to a goal they wish to achieve. We met for six two-hour sessions, once per week. It is during this project that the concept of the daily practice was born.

Before I explain what the Daily Practice is, let me first offer why it works:

• The Daily Practice creates a quick and easy infusion of focus and action.

• The Daily Practice helps us get our goals and intentions into conversation.

• The Daily Practice offers an easy method that challenges natural tendencies to procrastinate and get bogged down.

I recently offered a program called 2 Weeks to a Breakthrough to 30 people from around the world. They were to do the Daily Practice everyday for 14 days. They also focused on different aspects of their goal each day. During and after the program, many participants said the Daily Practice is what made the greatest difference. It’s the core of my program.

And yet it is so basic. Here is what the Daily Practice is:

The Daily Practice – Each day, do the following:

• Tell two people about your goal.
• Take two actions that support your goal.
• Make two requests that support your goal.

The Daily Practice may seem intimidating, but once you get into it, it will be rather easy. The Daily Practice can be done live, via email, phone, blog, or other communication means. But each day should involve different people.

Give the Daily Practice a try for just one week (or two!) and you will make amazing progress toward your goal and perhaps experience a breakthrough.

When I get stuck or stalled, this is the first place I turn. I ask myself:

• Who should I be talking to about my goal?
• What could I be doing to move this forward?
• What requests would make a big difference?
