Welcome to Your Unlimited Life. I’m Carlos Marin, author of The Ultimate Success Formula, and today we have a doozie of a topic for you. Today’s topic is a controversial one that can often fly in the face of conventional logic and traditional teaching about goal setting and achievement.

For many years, the concept of “smart goals” has been taught by countless sales trainers and success coaches. It stems back from 1961, but it was really applied in the beginning of management in large companies and such. Throughout the years, it has gone through an evolution and been utilized by a lot of sales trainers and success coaches in order to get better results for their organizations, their sales teams, etc. Now, while most aspects of the smart system are conceptually correct, in my opinion (and many others that are looking at positive psychology and the way that the mind works today) the system overall is flawed and incomplete. My experience working with hundreds of thousands of people over the past 30 years bears this out. Let me explain to you why I’m saying this, and allow me to make it easier to understand the thinking behind this. Smart is an acronym, where each letter stands for an important step in setting goals effectively and correctly.

Welcome to Your Unlimited Life. I’m Carlos Marin, author of The Ultimate Success Formula. We have a really interesting show for you today. In last week’s show, I asked you a very important question. “What is reality?” We discussed that there are in fact two types of reality, and the first one is the one we spoke about last week. Do you remember? It was called perceptual reality. Now, if you missed that show, please go back and see it on my website, http://carlosmarin.com, or on my YouTube channel, http://youtube.com/CarlosMarinTV. Go look at that one because it’s very important and it sets up the impacting points about this one.

Welcome to Your Unlimited Life. This is episode number 33! We’ve been at this for over half a year. I’m Carlos Marin, author of The Ultimate Success Formula, and today I have a very important question for you. If I asked you, what is reality? What would your answer be? I’ve been asking this question to people for over 25 years and most people answer in a similar fashion. They say that it’s what they can see, the world around them, what they can hear with their ears, what they can see with their eyes, what they can touch with their hands, what they feel with their feet, what they can taste with their mouth and what they can smell. They look at it as if reality is only the result of the world around them. Now, that’s only partially correct, because that is a segment of reality. But really, there are actually two different and distinct types of realities. That first one that we talked about is perceptual reality. It’s what you can perceive with the senses. This perceptive reality or perceptual reality is relative. It’s relative because it’s based upon the relationship between what you perceive in your mind and another external object. Sometimes it’s even what you perceive in your mind about yourself (your physical self, your abilities, your talents, your skill) but it’s always relative. It’s always positioned as viewing something else that is considered external to itself, an object.

Welcome to Your Unlimited Life. I’m Carlos Marin, author of The Ultimate Success Formula and founder of The Unlimited Success Academy. I want you to understand that my purpose and mission in life is to teach millions of people that they have unlimited potential and that they can be, do and have anything they want, if they develop the consciousness of already being doing, and having it. In this episode, we’ll discuss the seventh habit (or mindset) in our series since we’ve been talking about the seven success secrets of millionaire entrepreneurs.

In my book, The Ultimate Success Formula, I call it the “be it” principle. I want to come at from a little bit of a different angle right now and considering all of our principles start with the letter C, I’m going to call this principle congruency. Congruency is a very powerful, powerful word that is an extremely important key to achieving anything that you want in life. What it means is that your beliefs, habitual thinking, and your actions must all be congruent. They must all line up in a congruent whole. That’s actually what wholeness means.

Welcome to Your Unlimited Life. I’m Carlos Marin, author of The Ultimate Success Formula, and founder of The Unlimited Success Academy, and this show is about showing you how to be, do and have anything that you want because you can have it, you can do it, you can be it, you just have to learn how, and I am committed on this show to teaching you that.

In the last five shows, we’ve been talking about the seven key mental states, (the seven success secrets I call them) of millionaire entrepreneurs. As for a quick recap, number one was clarity of vision, you must know what end result you want. Number two was complete love for what you do or you will not sustain the intensity required for major achievement. Number three was commitment, because if you don’t sell out, you will quit. Number four was constructive focus. You must maintain your attention and focus on what’s important. Focus on your dreams, your goals rather than on other people’s agendas. Number five was confident boldness, acting with confidence and using confidence as influence to lead other people.

Welcome to Your Unlimited Life! I’m Carlos Marin, author of The Ultimate Success Formula, and founder of The Unlimited Success Academy. If you’ve been following my shows, by now you know that my motto or theme, is that you can be, do, and have anything that you want if you’ll just develop the mindset of the person who already has them. Considering nobody has taught us directly in our lives how to do this, in my show, Your Unlimited Life, I’m going to show you how. I’m going to show you precisely and exactly how to do this.

In the last four shows we’ve been discussing the seven key mental states (characteristics or habit patterns) of millionaire entrepreneurs. The greatest number of people in my community are entrepreneurs because I’ve been working with, teaching and training entrepreneurs for over thirty years. This thing (becoming a millionaire) is the biggest thing that I see entrepreneurs desiring out of their businesses and in their lives. This is why we’ve been talking about the seven key patterns.

Welcome to another episode of Your Unlimited Life. I’m Carlos Marin, author of The Ultimate Success Formula and last week we spoke about how millionaires think. This topic is a favorite of mine because I’ve been working with entrepreneurs for the past 30 years. One of the similarities that I have come to realize is that every entrepreneur wants to be a millionaire. It’s like that thing that everybody who works in business is out there trying to achieve. I’m a big believer that everyone has the power within them to be tremendously successful and wealthy. The only problem is most of us have not been taught how to access that power.
