The Simple Science of Getting What You Want

That's the subtitle for Mark Joyner's First Simpleology Course: Simpleology 101.

Now I ask you, who wouldn't want to learn how to get what they want in a simple, scientific manner?

Especially that "simple" part. That really caught my eye.

So I created an account, and started working through the 101 course. I have repeated this course 3 times since I started it In January, 2008.

This is not because I'm ignorant, or too thick to learn. It's because it's THAT good.

My friends and family know I'm a voracious reader. I read everything - anything I can get my hands on pretty much. If it will make me smarter or more knowledgeable, I want to read about it. They joke that I'll probably be buried in a bookshelf-shaped coffin - with all my books.

I love my family. Really I do.

But this course teaches me something new every time I go through it. It's quick and easy because you spend no more than a few minutes each day working through the videos and workbook. The course actually as repetition built INTO it, and it only takes 40 days to complete the course. at only 2-5 minutes per day, I can ALWAYS find time to sit down in front of my computer, or listen to the recordings on my CD player.

Mark has really made it easy to be successful with Simpleology, too. Everything is taught in digestible bite-sized chunks - and he tells you not to do more than one lesson per day so that you don't get overloaded. Mark very specifically wants you to do just a little each day. Just make small improvements and over time you'll see tremendous results.

In the nearly 3 months I've been working through the 101 course, I haven't been 100% faithful. I admit it. In the beginning, I would skip a couple of days, and try to "catch up" by doing 3 or 4 lessons in one day. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't.

The best thing to do is take it one day at a time. Mark even give you weekends off, if you'd like.

But I have to tell you, I am the most effective and efficient when I am doing my target praxes every day - even on the weekends. Once you've gotten some practice at doing them, it really doesn't take long to accomplish them, and then you've got a very specific action plan for your day. I accomplish way more in one day with Simpleology, than a week without it.

I'm not kidding. When I skip a day now, I REALLY feel it. I feel so behind, so overwhelmed and so out of control, I'm practically screaming for Mark to "whip em back into shape".

I hope I'm not creating a dependency, and I don't think I am, because I've learned that even when I'm away from my computer, I can still implement the strategies Mark teaches to complete my daily target praxes.

And that "daily target praxes" sounds like some kind of communicable disease. It's really just a method for prioritizing the day's activities in a way that brings you closer to your ultimate goals in life. You stay focused on what needs to be done instead of getting distracted by whatever wanders through your day.

As an author, wife, mom, direct sales consultant, leader and coach, I have a lot of hats to wear. I need all the help I can get prioritizing!
