Name: Turning Terrible into Terrific – Changing your life at the speed of thought
Presenter: Dennis Cummins
This webinar is a follow-up presentation from Dennis Cummins, the coach presenter of Millionaire Mind Intensive seminar. Cummins published a book called “Turning Terrible into Terrific” for his daughter Lauren. His actions and advices motivate everyone deep down to their hearts.This presentation is an introduction of his book and it provides a set of tools to change people’s lives from great to excellent.
Dennis Cummins believes changing anyone’s lives can be as fast as the speed of thought. The main trigger is attitude because attitude changes everything and it is the way to approach things around people’s lives.
There are seven areas people want to change in their lives
- Home
- Relationship
- Education
- Recreation
- Career
- Finance
- Health or Fitness
On the average, most people rate their areas of lives as average, which means people are not completely satisfied their lives.
Perspective vs Expectation
When a glass of water is presented in front of people, a majority of people believes the glass is half empty. In fact, some people believe it is half full. The correction answer from Cummins is that glass of water is always full because it is filled with half air and half water. Different perspective gives different result.
People expect things in their lives will go getter because their perspectives expect them to believe that. However, doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is never going to happen unless we change the perspective.
Three Keys
Gratitude, focus, and action are the three keys to turn from terrible to terrific.
Sometimes when people are facing difficult situations that are out of their comfort zone, they can be either a winner or a whiner. People should stop whining because their actions are telling the world they are not ready for the solution. How the world works is that the world will only bring solution to people who are ready. When a tight situation comes, people need to calm down and they will realize the solution is already there.
People need should be grateful how the world works because what people put out is what people get. Gratitude is the element that people should never forget.
People always focus on what is wrong instead of what is right. What people focus on will expand; therefore, if people focus on the negativity, they will receive negative result. It is important to keep the focus on the prize.
People will lose focus from other distractions, such as social media. When people focus, their brain will trigger more pathways to find ways to achieve the result. This will become automatic and it is important to activate the correct pathways.
Multi-tasking is a way to diversify people’s attention and focus on many things. Based on research, multi-tasking will slow things down; therefore, it is important to focus on one thing at a time.
“Prioritize your wants, eliminate distractions, and visualize your success”
People are always waiting for something to initiate their action. If people want to wait for perfect condition, they will never get anything done. The time to act is always now.
People are afraid to act because of risk; however, no risk equals no reward. When people are trying to take a giant step, it will trigger their little voice in their minds to prevent people to step out of the comfort zone. Instead of taking a giant step, people should take small steps.
If people are concerned whether they should act or not, they should answer the following questions:
- Yes or No?
- Does the decision will move me towards my goal?
People should always ask for help. It is important to be willing to ask for help because people do not know what they do not know. Therefore, others are willing to help if they ask.
