So, Bob Proctor’s assertion that thought is frequency let me, the eternal cynic, to research it, coming up with this fascinating article that continues with the foundation lay in Mr. Proctor’s video: https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/the-hippies-were-right-its-all-about-vibrations-man/
What are your life’s current, top, two or three goals?
#1) launch Life Success Engine 2.0
#2) Sleep. Consistent, early (for me), 7+ hour sleeeeep.What progress did you make on those goals last week?
Further drafting the modules. Released some of the onboarding through the newsletter (if you’re not already subscribed, go here). A friend who has been urging me to produce more coaching content around dating and relationships came over, very sweetly volunteering to help me produce content. (Follow on Instagram if you’d like to see it!)What SPECIFIC, TANGIBLE RESULTS are you aiming for in those goals in the next 6 days?
Huge list and each of the items has a large number of tasks attached:- Purchase and configure funnel builder
- Finalize and begin to configure new site design
- Work to finalize the onboarding schedule and materials
- Begin marketing Life Success Engine 2.0 launch
What is your largest opportunity this week?
Ugh. I’ll have to think this one over.Name ONE (and ONLY ONE) thing you would like to do better than you did last week?
Sleep. My sleep continues to be really disordered. Hugely important for me to get a perfect sleep habit nailed.What help do you need from us?
You know, LSE2.0 is coming from natural motivation. It’s the sleep schedule and habits that I’m having to force. I would REALLY appreciate it if each and every day someone helped me remain accountable by asking me, directly, what time I went to bed, what I did for a solid night’s sleep and what worked well. I’d really appreciate that.Looking forward to reading other’s MMM. If the thread ever isn’t started by Monday (for instance today I’m posting it late on Tuesday), any of you feel free to kick off a MMM for the week! ❤️
Well? How about you? Is there anything you regret not doing when you were younger?
Love it.
What help do you need from us?
Branstorming and suggestions would be nice; motivation to push myself or believe in myself would be great too.
Well motivation, I can do: CONGRATS on taking on more complex projects AND your willingness to feel uncomfortable. I will offer that it is amazing how quickly discomfort turns to sharp new skills and, eventually, brilliance.
I’m confident that you were assigned more complex projects precisely because someone saw something in you they thought would shine in these. Trust that you are evolving, then just take things step by step ❤️
But, regarding the brainstorming… brainstorming for what? You’ll have to give us something to brainstorm if you’d like help with that!
You got this, Odmaa.
You’ve shared before that, when you first came, it literally took you a week to read one chapter in English, yes?
Amazing grit.
What would you say was the #1 factor in your perseverance? What made you persevere? Genuinely asking: wanting to “prove” yourself, perhaps because of past life experiences or a home environment were you were told you wouldn’t or couldn’t succeed? (this has been a factor in my success) Were you taught to persist from a parent or sibling?
Again, I’m confident that there were many factors – I’m asking the #1 and, in particular recognizing that sometimes we’re driven to succeed by past failure/disfunction and sometimes drive to succeed by healthy values and function. We each have our drives. What was your #1 drive to persevere?
Oh, don’t keep me posted on how things go 😉 …I’m inviting you to actually:
- Write out your goal in SMART format *here in the forum* (there is INCREDIBLE power in writing out your goal and committing to it publicly); then
- Post every day or nearly every day here, in the community:
- Writing out AGAIN the final result you are working for (there is great power in reminding ourselves, daily, what our main, superordinate goal is)
- Sharing, in writing, what actions you took to make that goal happen that day, along with the results of your actions
- And then sharing what you believe your next step is.
Look at Odmaa’s thread, “21 Days of Tidying Up” to see an example of this format: https://lifesuccessengine.com/forum/topic/21-days-of-tidying-up/
I understand that actually writing out a goal and then posting about it daily might seem like a really different way of approaching life. It might even not make sense. But try it and you will understand the incredible power of doing it this way!
RRMelecio! Welcome to the Life Success Engine Community! What an incredibly touching and inspiring first post.
Some may not know, but I actually was a single parent, raising my daughter from age 1 1/2 until she graduated high school. Some of the toughest times of my life, so that I have have HUGE admiration and respect for your mother ❤️
Rather than just share my stories with you, you offer,
My mom deserves to stay at home, relaxing and spending time with her grandchildren. My family means the world to me since they’re all I have left, and it’s been my goal since I was a kid not to disappoint them at all costs.
RR, may I invite you to actually set a goal around your desires?
Name a SMART goal:
- a Specific result of a
- Tangible outcome that is
- Authentic and Actionable – NOT a could, should or would; and that you ACTION will make a difference in achieving
- with an outcome that is Realistic
- in a specific named amount of Time
I dare you: Use that formula to lay out your goal. If you will do that, I know I and the other Members of this Community will pitch in to lift you up, help you brainstorm, work to inspire you and offer tangible support as we are able until you either decide to give up (it’s your mom, you can’t do that, right!?) or until you ultimately succeed.
If you’re willing to take me up on this, do it now: post here in this thread, or in a new one your SMART goal with the exact formula I suggest above.
Can’t wait to see it. Again, welcome to the Community, RR. I can’t wait to see you succeed!

Founder, LifeSuccessEngine.comHere’s my answers, can’t wait to read yours!
What are your current largest two or three life goals?
Launch Life Success Engine 2.0
Continue refining my sleep patterns for consistent, quality sleepWhat progress did you make on those goals last week?
Life Success Engine 2.0: the concept of the Life Success Engine 2.0 is REALLY coming together. The farther I get into this, the more excited I am to bring this to the world! I literally have never seen any other example of this radical new life success method, the first that DOESN’T depend on just working harder; the opportunity to learn how to put in place life-changing success systems that will radically improve your wealth, health and relationships in 14 days or less guaranteed or your money back. Did some MAJOR writing of the Engine in preparation for building it.Sleep has been another matter: the consistency and quality of my sleep 3 weeks ago was far, far better than 2 weeks ago when I slid. But last week, although the first few nights of sleep were horrible (major headaches, challenges in a consistent bedtime), by the end of the week I was doing far better, getting ~7 hours a night, waking a few days without a headache and probably about ~2 days without Rx migraine medicine. So… a step forward.
Name ONE (and ONLY ONE) thing you would like to do better this week?
CONSISTANT bedtime before 2 am, lights and electronics off.Name the specific, measurable progress you are aiming to accomplish on these goals this week? What RESULTS are you aiming for in the next 6 days?
Uuf. Uh…:
Life Success Engine 2.0: Onboarding videotaped and edited. First series of modules assembled and ready for videotaped modules.What help do you need from the community? Accountability by asking about your progress? Brainstorming and suggestions? Advice from someone who’s done what you are working to accomplish? Just good listening while you talk (type) out loud thinking things out? A connection or introduction to someone? NAME what help you need.
Help building this community. I would ask you to help me by doing 2 things:1) Would you please invite one or two other people who could use a supportive, positive-oriented community, to Life Success Engine? Each of us gains when we are in the presence of others accomplishing their life success.
2) Post to the Community. You serve YOUR success AND support us when you talk vulnerably and openly about your dreams. You inspire us, you teach us, you give us hope and you help US take steps on OUR dreams
Thank you ahead of time for that help!
Remember: the next week – one of 52 this year – is going by, whether you use the week to step forward or waste it. CHOOSE to take steps forward this week.
Can’t wait to read other’s answers to the questions!!
Ah! Janet! You’re in! So happy to “see” you here! Feel free to start a thread if there are any goals you’re working on – lord knows you just completed a major goal with your house – but would love to hear what else you’re working on.
Maybe yoga? Future trips? Start a thread, let the community know what kind of support you’d like, accountability checks, advice, simply good listening or introductions to opportunities
OR feel free to jump into any other conversations ❤️❤️❤️
Liaa! What an inspiring story! I would LOVE to hear more about how you were inspired to do marketing? Did you read about it somewhere? Did someone else give you the idea?
And, why marketing!?
Do you have any current goals with your marketing business?
Would love to hear more ❤️
Happiness is the acceptance of what is rather than what you think it should be. ~ angel_luv555
Love it.
What do I think happiness is? Share what truly makes you happy?
Racking my brain, here. I don’t know if I have the answer to #1 as much as I have some observations about how happiness work in my life:
I know one thing I despise is the (in my belief) toxic, positivity, pop-psy ideas such as “Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.” (Maya Angelou.)
Bullshit.
The fact is, the number of things any of us experience in life that take our breath away will be relatively small.
If we wait for these or only use those to gauge the quality of our life… we’ll come up on a pretty short measurement.
An all of this is magnified by current “social” media: curated moments, one out of a hundred photos, where the lighting is just right, then color corrected and cropped.
It’s one of the reasons I ask everyone to be raw here in the Community. We can’t live fantasy. We can’t change imaginary lives. There is incredible power in speaking, out loud, reality and our goals.
So that happiness is quite a bit smaller, to me.
Happiness – to me – is living out loud, on what matters to me and those I love, even if I get a little bit banged up, in the process. In fact, it’s sometimes even BETTER if I get a bit banged up in the process: it lets me know I’m alive and reminds me of my courage to try.
Beyond that!? The small things: the hug of someone who truly loves me, a friend’s text, seeing an idea I had touching someone else’s life.
One of my favorite quotes is,
Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year. He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety. Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in. Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense. This new day is too dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on the yesterdays. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
’nuff philosophy, dear Odmaa: How about YOU? What *small* things bring *you* happiness?
Perhaps even more importantly: what are you going to do to bring yourself those things today?
Well, I think we all connect best to people we feel close and safe to. Curious tho, what do you think that judgmental side of you is about?
Sorry for the late reply. Regarding selling books for a dollar: agreed. In fact I’ve come to this conclusion about most of my clutter.
When I was young I would take great delight in doing yard sales; took great delight that I’d often sell everything.
I enjoyed decluttering, enjoyed meeting and selling to new people and appreciated the money.
But later I realized, with the amount of work it took selling things, combined with the small amount of money it brought in… it just wasn’t worth it. I later ran into the suggestion to simply donate the clutter and write YOURSELF a check out to celebrate, lol.
I’m with you: I have a TON of clutter than needs to go. So that clearing it remains a goal, but accomplishing that will have to be organic.
But it feels SO good once it’s cleared yes!? And brings fresh air in space, thinking and energy.
Appreciate you sharing this journey with all of us.
If you had any thoughts on how you’d do it again – for those of us needing to do this – what would you recommend?
