Success is Inevitable

Action Guide

Thanks again for purchasing my book. I really want you to succeed and to get
as much as you can from it. Please make sure you use this action guide
alongside the book. In the end, your commitment is what will determine how
much you get out of this book. I encourage you to print out this workbook to
make it easier to refer to it as you are reading the book. Also, writing down your
answers using a pen is more powerful than just typing on your computer.

Let’s get started!

PART I. Mastering the Four Powers That Enable Success

Defining success
What does success really mean to you? Write down your personal definition of
success below:

I. The Power of Absolute Responsibility

If you were to take one hundred percent responsibility of your life, what is one thing
you would start doing today to improve your life?
Write down your answer below:
II. The Power of Belief

You can dramatically increase your level of confidence by building self-discipline,

boosting your self-esteem and enhancing your self-confidence

The Self-Empowerment Triangle

Building self-discipline
To build self-discipline consistency is key. Write down one thing you could start
doing consistently every day for the next thirty day (meditating, practicing gratitude,
setting goals etc.)

Boosting your self-esteem

Do at least one of the following exercises:
1. Ask yourself 3 things you want to acknowledge yourself for (for at least a week)
2. Write down all your accomplishments (at least once)
3. Reward yourself (select a reward for one of your goals)
4. Record every positive thing you’ve ever been said. (for at least a month)

Enhancing your self-confidence

Remain consistent with your new daily habit and keep acknowledging your small
wins. Re-read the book and apply each law to the best of your ability.
III. The Power of Clarity
Rate yourself on a scale of 1 to 10 for the following, 1 being a big NO and 10 a big
YES:

Career/mission: do you wake up excited? Dod you feel like you’re making a
difference in your own unique way?

1 10

Family: do you spend enough quality time with your family?

1 10

Finance: do you make the kind of money you want to make or do you struggle to
make ends meet?

1 10

Health (Physical and emotional): Do you have a healthy body? How about your
emotional well being?

1 10

Personal growth: do you feel like you’re growing into the person you want to
become?

1 10
Relationship: Is your relationship with your partner the best it could be?

1 10

Spirituality: do you feel a sense of connection with God/the universe?

1 10

For each area, take a few minutes to visualize in details what your ideal vision looks
like. See yourself as being already at a 10 in each area and answer the question
below:

• Career: What contribution are you making to society and the world in general?
What does your day at work look like?
• Family: How are you interacting with your family on a day-to-day basis and how
does that make you feel?
• Finance: How much money are you earning each month? What are you doing with
this money?
• Health: How do you feel every day? What does your diet look like?
• Personal growth: What three words best describe you? What do people say about
you when you’re not there? What message are you spreading to the world?
• Relationship: What emotions are you experiencing daily? How do you treat your
partner? And how does him or her feel as a result of that? How does your partner
treat you?
• Spirituality: How do you serve God or the universe? What spiritual qualities do
you embody?
Your vision for your life
Write a short statement for each area of your life describing your ideal vision. For
now, make sure you write at least one statement.

Career:

Family:

Finance:

Health:

Personal growth:

Relationship:

Spirituality:
The importance of self-awareness
Rate yourself for each statement below, 1 being false, 10 being true.

I know my core values and live by them

1 10

I know my weaknesses and cope with them effectively

1 10

I understand my core beliefs and how they affect my behaviors and actions

1 10

I’ve identified thought patterns that prevent me from reaching my potential

1 10

I’ve identified my zone of genius

1 10

I know whether I’m an extrovert or introvert and use it to my advantage

1 10
I control my emotions

1 10

I know my blind spots and seek new perspectives whenever necessary

1 10

I listen to my intuition

1 10

Now, look at your score for each statement and ask yourself, “What are the two
things that, if I were to work on would make the biggest difference in my life?”.
Resolve to work on these two things using the exercises mentioned in the book.

2. Setting crystal clear goals

Select one major goal you want to achieve. (The one that would make the biggest
difference in your life right now). Make it SMART and break it down into monthly,
weekly and daily goals

For your reference SMART goals are:

• Specific: What exactly do you want? What are you trying to achieve?
• Measurable: Can you assess the progress towards your goal easily? How will you
know whether you’ve achieved it?
• Achievable: Is it achievable? Is the timeframe realistic? Can you put in the effort
required despite other responsibilities?
• Relevant: Is it in line with your values? Is it exciting you?
• Time-bound: Do you have a clear deadline for your goals?

For more on how to set goals, you can also check out my book Goal Setting: The
Ultimate Guide to Achieving Goals that Truly Excite You.

Your SMART goals:

IV. The Power of Passion

Uncovering your passion

To help you clarify your passion, answer the following questions:

1. What did you enjoy doing when you were a kid?

2. Who do you envy? What are the people you envy doing?

3. If all your family members, friends and people you know were no longer around
and you were all alone, what would you start doing from today?

4. If you had all the time and money in the world, what would you do?

5. If you had complete confidence and were already your absolute best self, what
would you be doing with your life?

6. How do you want to express yourself to the world? Do you want to entertain,
educate, inspire, heal, teach, or create? What emotions do you want people to feel as
a result of the work you’re doing?

For more on how to find your passion refer to The Passion Manifesto: Escape the Rat
Race, Uncover Your Passion, and Design a Career and Life You Love
2. Strengthening your whys
Write down all the reasons why you must achieve your goal. To help you do so, you
can use the four motivators: pain, pleasure, ego and love (You can write them in
brackets after each of your reasons)

PART II. Activating the Power of Commitment

Rate yourself on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being false, 10 being true.

1 10

I refuse to give up until I get the results I want

1 10

I constantly seek to raise my standards

1 10

I’m willing to swallow pride and use feedback to improve

1 10

What could you do to further commit to your goal? Write down at least one thing that
could help you strengthen your commitment:
Remember, believing in yourself (power of belief), knowing what you want (power
of clarity) and having a strong why (power of passion) will make it easier for you to
commit. If you struggle to commit, look how well you fair for each of them.
Part III. Mastering the Laws of Success

I. The Law of Humility

By swallowing your pride and accepting to change everything needed to
achieve your goals, you will dramatically increase the odds you succeed.

Write at least one reason pride could stand in your way. Answering the following
questions might help you: How could pride prevent you from achieving the results
you want in life? Do you refuse to ask for help? Are you unwilling to change things
that don’t work?

Your answer:
II. The Law of Mastery

If you apply anything you learn and go as deep as you can, you will
inevitably get resu lts long-term.
Developing a mastery mentality
On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being false 10 being true, evaluate yourself on the following
points:

I easily avoid jumping from one opportunity to another.

1 10

I put into practice everything I read or learn about.

1 10

When I learn something new I keep practicing until I reach a high level of mastery.
 1 10

Look at one area of your life in which you aren’t satisfied. How much of what you
know have you actually put into practice? Have you mastered the fundamentals in
this area?
1. Focusing on one thing at a time
Look at all the projects and goals you’re working on right now. Now, select the one
you’re the most excited about and write it down. Turn it into a SMART goal and
spend most your effort on it in the next few weeks or months until you get the results
you want.

-
-

3. Repeating the process until you reach a high level of mastery

Answer the following question: What one thing if you were to focus on until you
master it, would make the biggest impact on your life?
III. The Law of Focus

Monomaniacal focus on the most important area of your life right now

will yield great results while positively impacting most of the other areas
of your life.

Among the five areas—health, finance, relationships, career, personal growth—

which area, if you were to focus most of your effort right now, would help most
transform your life?
IV. The Law of Effective Actions
Success becomes almost inevitable when you identify key actions and
focus on them daily

adopt to achieve your goal. (Examples: find a role model, interview someone who has
already achieved your goals etc.)

that need to be improved? Y / N
Based on your answers to the previous questions, write down what you could do
specifically to improve the way you work on your goal:

VI. The Law of Consistency

Simple daily habits repeated for a few years lead to exceptional results,
often far better than you would get by brute-forcing your way to success.

Turning strategic moves into daily habits

Look at the 3-5 strategic moves you’ve identified previously. Now, what could you
do to turn them into daily habits?
Your daily habits:

Adoption one daily habit

Select one thing you could do first thing in the morning to help you achieve your
main goals. Stick to it for at least thirty days.

Your daily habit:

that particular emotions for long enough.

positive emotions in your life. If you can, make it part of your morning ritual by
combining it with the thing you committed to doing in the section Law of
Consistency.

Your daily habit:

IX. The Law of Attraction
The more you focus on something, the more likely you are to attract that
thing in your life.
Throughout your day, spend as much time as possible focusing on the main area you
wish to make a change in. You can also repeat affirmations, visualize the results you
want, write it down on a paper you put on your desk etc.

Write down below what you will stop focusing on (for instance: lack of money, past
failures etc.). Then, cross out each element in your list.
-
-
-
-

upon waking up? Adopt one new positive habit in your life? Contact someone you
haven’t contacted for a while? Start journaling?

-
-
-
-

2. 7-Day Challenge:
For the next seven days, begin your day as though you have been born again, and feel
the field of possibilities ahead of you.

3. Visualization exercise:
Forget about everything—who you think you are, your past, your future etc.—and
reconnect with the present moment. You can close your eyes to do this exercise.
Now, spend a couple of minutes envisioning your future and what you want to create.
XI. The Law of Intent

The more purposeful you are during your day, the better results you will
achieve.

Think of your typical day. What is the one segment of your day that if you could
bring a specific intent to, would have the most positive impact? For the next seven
days, resolve to set your desired intent before moving to that specific segment of your
day.

Write down below the one segment of your day you want to change and how you
want to feel during that time of the day.

Your segment of the day:

How you want to feel:

XII. The Law of Continuous Learning

Getting better is inevitable if you keep acquiring new skills and learn from
failures. As you improve, long-term success becomes highly probable.

Commit to learning. Dedicate at least ten minutes daily to reading educational

material that will help you achieve your long-term vision
XIII. The Law of Perseverance

You can and will achieve far more than you can ever begin to imagine if
you keep persevering and refuse to give up prematurely.
Implement a Bullet-Proof Timeframe for your goal and commit to never giving up
until you reach the deadline you chose.

Example: I’ll keep writing books until April 18th, 2020.

Your Bullet-Proof Timeframe:

What you commit to doing by then:

XIV. The Law of Courage

The more often you can face your fear and move beyond your comfort
zone, the more you’ll achieve in life.

What is one thing you’ve been wanted to do for a while, but put off because of fear?

Could you challenge yourself and do that thing this week? Write down below one
thing you could do to move beyond your comfort zone.
XV. The Law of Flexibility

The more you are willing to consider all the options available to achieve
your goal, the more likely you are to succeed.
How could you use the Law of Flexibility to increase the chances that you achieve
your long-term goals? Remember that you can identify additional ways to achieve
your goals, reframe your goals or give up on your goals.

What are different ways you could achieve your goals?

-
-
-
-

How could you reframe your goal so that it opens the doors to new possibilities?

Does your goal still excite you or should you give up on it?
XVI. The Law of Patience

You must trust the process and remain consistent until you see the fruits of
your labor.

Remember a specific time in the past when you gave up prematurely on a goal.
Imagine how things could have been different if you had used the Law of Patience.

The one time I gave up prematurely:

XVII. The Law of Long-Term Thinking

As you develop the habits of long-term thinking, you’ll become far more
successful in all areas of your life.

Write down your answers to the following questions:

Is what you are doing today or this week, will allow you to achieve my long-term
goals?

What are you thinking about throughout your day? Make a list of some of the
recurrent thoughts that you entertain every day. Are they aligned with your long-term
vision?
