Date: November 12, 2014
Name: Ultimate Life Makeover System
Many people do not have money, freedom, health, relationship, fulfillment and happiness. These are the factors that make up the ultimate life for many people’s dream. T. Harv Eker, the author of Million Mind Intensive, designs the ultimate life makeover system to help people achieve the life people desire the most. The main problem of everyone’s life is they never learn the skill of internally designing and creating lives; therefore, only very few people live in ultimate life.
Eker believes the key word is “really want”. When people increase or concentrate on money, they tend to decrease health and family. Therefore, when people start to improve on balance, they decrease money. Eker notices the issue or challenge and decides to help people to overcome the problem.
Eker lists the life of dream for all people include the main 7 factors. The factors are money, business, relationship, family, health, personal growth, and environment. Eker will reveal the 8 steps process in the Ultimate Life Makeover System.
Step 1: What do you really want?
Eker emphasizes clarity leads to power. The number one reason people do not have their desire lifestyle is because they do not know what they really want. The key word is “You”. People need to forget what everyone else want and need to live the way they want, not by others.
“Live your life”
Eker wants people to ask themselves “what do you want today?” The question will reflect people to understand what they want today might be different from the past. A majority of people put down the same New Year resolution every year. Eker suggests people to emphasize right instant and now a year from now.
Eker recommends people to not settle unless it is what they truly want. People might have different goals. Therefore, Eker has breakdown main categories to help people focus on their needs.
Money & Finance |
Busienss or Career |
Relationship |
Health & Wellness |
Recreation & Play |
Personal, Spiritual & Personal Education |
Personal Environment |
Serve & Contribution |
Step 2: Why do you want this?
Eker believes people do not get what they want is because they do know why they want it. People’s “why” is extremely important because it is the root of everything people do and act. Based on the categories Eker listed, there could be many reasons behind everyone’s action. As long as there is a reason, people will force to continue.
Step 3: Why not? Why do not you already have it?
Eker thinks most people spend their time trying to solve the problem that is not the right one. In other words, people are avoiding the true problem. People’s “why not” for this may be the exact same “why not” for many other things in their life. The reason people do not have what they want right now is because of themselves. Eker believes mindset, attitude, habits and characteristics will influence their reasons behind their problems.
Step 4: Strategy / plan
Eker emphasizes people need new strategy and plan. Eker believes if people keep on doing what they are doing right now, they will continue to get what they have right now. Therefore, people need to know the “how” to strategize their plans. The overview plan or strategy will evolve around what people want.
Step 5: First action
It is great to research, but if there is no action, people are not going anywhere. People think more than doing. Thinking is the mental part and doing is the physical part. If people want to be successful in physical life, they need to concentrate on physical part.
Eker wants people to think less and do more. Eker suggests everyone to write down the first action. The first action is critical because it can initiate momentum. A body in motion will tend to remain in motion and a body at rest will tend to remain at rest. This is the power of momentum. When momentum starts, people will gradually continue towards that direction.
Eker wants people to start their first step simple. If it is too big or complex, people will give up. All people need is momentum.
Eker shares the secret of life is to set themselves for an easy win. Therefore, it is important to start something small, get the momentum going, and receive the small win.
In addition, Eker believes each first step must be completed within 24 hours. People who complete the first step within the first 24 hours will have more than 75% success rate to continue. If people complete their first step within 72 hours, the success rate will reduce to 50%. Moreover, if people complete in a week, there will be less than 10% success rate.
Step 6: Commitment
Eker emphasizes the commitment is the hardest and people struggle the most. There are 4 levels: thinking, writing, talking, and committing. Committing requires the highest level of energy.
When people have giving their words, they have responsibility to complete their commitment. Eker wants people to treat commitment as the form of declaration. Moreover, people will think it is their responsibility to accomplish the task.
Step 7: Reward
It is important to have positive reinforcement. People usually reward negative behavior; instead, Eker believes people should reward the behavior they want. Short term reward is also important as the long term reward. Therefore, it is important to decide on a reward when people completing an action. This will trigger people’s mental to believe doing the same thing will continue to receive positive impact.
Step 8: Accountability
Eker defines accountability as “to explain what you have done”. It is important for people to be accountable to their actions and others actions as well. When people are accountable to someone else, they will add their energy and resource to the direction they want to go. In addition, other people can help others to be accountable because they can see what other people cannot see. It is human nature that people will do more if other people are watching. People have strong desire for acknowledgement and approval to avoid disapproval and disappointment.

Life Makeover Coach
Eker believes it is important for people to hire a life coach. They can track and help improve the progress. Working with a coach can improve the efficiency. This can gain friendship and connection as well. Eker states that there are 3 reasons why people might not need a coach. They might not need a coach right now, but people can enhance their current situation. They might believe they do not have the time, but people always make time for priorities. They might believe they do not have fund, but people tend to spend their resources on the wrong reason.
Eker states if people do not have time to earn a lot more money, increase net worth, create multiple steams of passive income, have closer relationships, be healthier and stronger, master the field, or live the life they have always want, what do they have time for?
