"The
Universal Law of HabitForce is the culmination of my entire
philosophy of individual achievement. It is the key to all
Laws of Success. If I had known of the existence of the law
and of its working principle at the beginning of my research,
I could have organized a philosophy with which an average
person can become self-determining, in a much shorter period
of time."

a
Question:
|
Napoleon
Hill and Abraham Maslow, the authoritative self-actualization
researchers of last century, both identified that the 'master-key'
to high performance in human beings, is to develop great habits
that support personal growth.
It
is the habit mechanism that most consistently shapes the mindset
for achieving long-lasting fulfillment, health, success and
prosperity, while positively changing the world.
But
what these researchers didn't answer, is just what are the
essential habits for creating and sustaining positive transformations
- as observed across the highest achieving and highest fulfilled
people?
More
important, what habits can turn an ordinary person, an average
performer or even what society might consider 'a failure',
to turn his life around and become truly Great? |
an
Attraction:
|
This
question has fascinated me for many years: If
we take the list of people that Dr Maslow psychologically analyzed
to have the highest of mental health, or the list of high achievers
as compiled by Dr. Hill, or just a common sense list of the
greatest leaders and thinkers throughout our history and look
into their biography - what habits did these people most often
practice and how?
Specifically,
what habits would they most often recommend for having
made the biggest difference in shaping their character, thinking
and quality of life? |
a
Research:
|
These
questions all began with a major research project into the motivations
and experiences of life-coaches. In an action-research project,
I set up a number of focus groups with a number of outstanding
coaches from Melbourne, to better understand the process of
change - from the people who work with the pursuit of self-improvement,
on an everyday basis.
Through
dialogues regarding the application and effectiveness of their
strategies, ideas for personal transformation were evaluated
- i.e. when they did work, what was activated within and why?
When they didn't, why not?
Armed
with this knowledge, these ideas launched a second major research
project - reviewing and contrasting the literature and revelations
of Hill and Maslow, for the habits most responsible for the
personal transformation of behaviors, one’s emotional
state of being and character.
Here,
the major principles and practices that these researches found
in all effective leaders, thinkers and self-actualizers, were
rigorously scrutinized - in search for practical insights
into the process of cultivating greatness.
Without
letting ideology or pre-conceived ideas dictate what the answer
‘should be’, I resolved to let the biographies
of the Greats and the theoretical-practical principles behind
them, to speak for themselves - and in turn, to teach whatever
emerged...
|
a
Vision:
|
Upon
completing these research projects, I then stepped back from
these mountains of ideas - to distill the potent habits for
creating positive changes, into a usable system that can be
taught and be easily learned - i.e. like a gym program.
According
to the timeless practice for unleashing breakthrough thinking,
I stepped into the wilderness (on the remote island of Tasmania),
for a continuous period of 40 days on a 'vision quest'. For
a period of nearly six weeks, in total isolation, I did nothing
but to think about these principles, and to write out what
could be the most optimal methods for developing such a course.
The result is this life transforming program.

In
short, 'a course in Greatness' builds upon Napoleon Hill's dream,
of organizing a philosophy grounded in the practicalities
of habits, through which any person may become self-determining,
in a short period of time.
'a course in Greatness' is the next generation of personal
achievement-fulfillment programs, unlike any other.
It's an intensive coaching system that supports
you in developing peak physical health and vitality, while super-charging
your mind for high achievement, amplifying the passion in your relationships,
and congruently expressing your definitive life purpose, with peace
of mind.
It
is designed to help you definitively
live out your dream life.
