Goal Setting and Visualization

• John's mentor had him write down his goals for health, wealth, relationships, career, business, finances, charity, fun experiences, and every year of his life.
• John was instructed to read these goals every morning and visualize them as if they were already true.
• John's mentor also had him write down what he would have to believe about himself in order to achieve these goals.

• By visualizing and believing in his goals, John created new neural patterns in his brain that did not exist before.

Accomplish Board and Crap Board

• The "Accomplish Board" included pictures and words that represented his goals.

The Law of Goya and Goal Achievement

• The Law of Goya means "get off your ass" and involves taking action to achieve goals.
• To achieve goals, one must create a plan and take specific actions to achieve them.
• Assaraf's mentors taught him to focus on progress rather than perfection.
• Failure is an opportunity to learn and disassociate oneself from being a failure.
• Assaraf learned to measure and iterate his progress to consistently make gains.

The Power of Repetition and Emotion in Belief Formation

• Assaraf's brain initially resisted his new beliefs, but he was taught to use repetition and emotion to create new patterns.
• Over time, the brain accepts the new patterns and replaces the old ones.
• Assaraf was taught the Law of Attraction, which involves using thoughts to attract positive outcomes.
• He became a voracious student and wanted to understand how visualization, affirmations, and emotionalization work.
• Assaraf learned to invest his time in these practices because they create a resonance between what he attracts and what he doesn't.

The Difference Between the Law of Attraction and the Law of Goya

• The Law of Attraction involves using thoughts to attract positive outcomes, while the Law of Goya involves taking action to achieve goals.
• Assaraf's mentor taught him to focus on the Law of Goya and take specific actions to achieve his goals.
• Assaraf learned to create a plan, measure his progress, and iterate to consistently make gains.
• He learned to disassociate himself from being a failure and focus on progress rather than perfection.
• Assaraf's mentors taught him the power of repetition and emotion in creating new beliefs and habits.

Why Emotionalizing Works

• Emotionalizing activates circuits in the brain and releases neurochemicals.
• Positive emotions release dopamine, the feel-good neurochemical that activates the reward center of the brain.
• Visualizing, setting goals, taking action steps, and reading goals all activate the motivational center of the brain.
• Sharing goals with a friend releases oxytocin, which is one of the neurochemicals of goal achievement.
• Fear and stress can also activate circuits in the brain and release stress hormones like norepinephrine, cortisol, or epinephrine.

Retraining the Subconscious Mind

• Retraining the subconscious mind can change beliefs, self-esteem, self-worth, and fears.
• The how-to of achieving goals is the easiest part of the equation.
• The harder part is understanding why we are not doing the things we know we should be doing.
• Retraining the subconscious mind can increase sales and change habits.
• Neurogym has technologies and systems that are far better than what was available in the 90s.
