ChallengeVideo.create day: 0, week_number: 0, video_title: 'Vision', video_key: '65859426', daycode: '4c3b764164', series_id: series.id, video_description: "Vision is the starting point of all achievement. We create things mentally before we create them physically. To achieve your best, you need a vision of the future that is more compelling than the present. A compelling vision will propel you forward through the difficulty and uncertainty that you will encounter on your way to achieving your goals. <br /><br /> Creating a powerful, compelling vision is your first step in your 12 Week YearTM Challenge. <br /><br /> Get started by downloading the workbook, watching the video, and crafting your vision!<br /><br />PLEASE NOTE… <br /><br />This exercise and the one for tomorrow on planning are the most time consuming.

A plan is the road map that guides you along your journey to your destination of achievement. If you've never planned before, or you find planning boring, all that is about to change. <br /><br /> For most, planning is an exercise that, to a great degree, is a waste of time and energy -- primarily because the plan never gets implemented. 12-Week Planning is different! 12-Week Planning is the first place where your vision and goals become real. Once you learn to execute, planning becomes fun. <br /><br /> Download the planning document, watch the video, and build your plan!"

Whether you want to make more money, get in shape, pay off debts, or improve your relationships, The 12 Week Year &trade; is designed to get you there. <br /> <br />A core idea that you will come to know intimately is the following: <br /> “High performance and goal achievement is all about execution!” <br /> <br /> What separates you from the life you desire is not a lack of knowledge, or intellect, or strategy, or ideas – but a lack of execution. <br /> <br /> Today’s video will walk you through all the resources you have available to help you execute over the next 12 weeks."

In the end, wherever you are is your starting point. The critical point is that you start. The sooner you start, the sooner you will arrive!"

ChallengeVideo.create day: 3, week_number: 1, video_title: 'Accountability', video_key: '65674907', daycode: '3e425f2465', series_id: series.id, video_description: "Accountability is one of the most misunderstood concepts today. Most people equate accountability with consequences. Let me set the record straight: Accountability is NOT about consequences, it's about ownership! <br /><br /> At the heart of accountability is free-will choice. In the end, you always have choice. There are no "have to's" in life. Learn to take ownership of your choices to get more of what you want in life!"

ChallengeVideo.create day: 4, week_number: 1, video_title: 'Commitment', video_key: '65681490', daycode: '6b4c373a6a', series_id: series.id, video_description: "Commitments are powerful. Commitments can be life-changing. There is a big difference between interest and commitment. When you are interested, you take action when circumstances permit. When you're committed, circumstances don't matter -- you make things happen.<br /><br />  Keeping commitments with others builds trust and relationships. Keeping your promises to yourself builds esteem and character!"

ChallengeVideo.create day: 5, week_number: 1, video_title: 'Time Use', video_key: '65702242', daycode: '757a497a6a', series_id: series.id, video_description: "Everything happens in the context of time. If you are not in control of your time, then you are not in control of your results. Learning to be intentional about how you use your time is critical to your success.<br /><br />  If you are serious about your goals, then you must be intentional with your time. To maximize your time use you will need to do 3 things.  They are: <ul><li>      Block out time for the important activities.    </li><li> Manage the interruptions, and reduce/eliminate the low value activities.   </li><li>  Take time to refresh and rejuvenate!</li>"

However, there is very little about success that is comfortable except the results. The process of succeeding is often just the opposite: very uncomfortable. <br /><br /> If you are going to have something you don't currently have, you will need to do something you currently are not doing. That means change, and change is uncomfortable.<br /><br />  To achieve your best, you will need to "get comfortable with being uncomfortable!" Decide right this moment that you will choose pleasurable results, over pleasurable activity."

ChallengeVideo.create day: 7, week_number: 1, video_title: 'Sunday Mindset', video_key: '65698289', daycode: '7730463743', series_id: series.id, video_description: "For centuries, Sunday has been a day of rest. Not so today. For many, Sunday is just another day to work. There is a reason we are commanded to rest.<br /><br /> It is because we need rest to be at our best.  You need time to rest and rejuvenate. Make a habit of taking one day a week and not working. Relax, play, tinker... or do nothing. It doesn't have to be Sunday, but make certain you have at least one day a week to refresh and recharge."

How did you do in Week 1? <br /><br /> In today’s lesson, we will look back over your first week through an After Action Review and determine what worked, and areas where you need to be more effective this week.<br /><br />  An After Action Review is a critical component of any high performance system. Living the life you desire is not about perfection, it is about learning. The After Action Review is all about learning."

ChallengeVideo.create day: 9, week_number: 2, video_title: 'Emotional Cycle of Change', video_key: '65687614', daycode: '2e4536626c', series_id: series.id, video_description: "Achieving your goals requires a willingness to do things different, and to do different things, and that involves change. Changing behavior and installing new habits can be an emotional roller coaster. <br /><br /> There is an emotional pattern, or cycle, that you will experience as you begin to execute on your goals and plans. The Emotional Cycle of Change describes how individuals and organization experience change in five phases. Understanding the phases within the change cycle allows you to be more productive and keep advancing."

ChallengeVideo.create day: 10, week_number: 2, video_title: 'Thinking', video_key: '65702210', daycode: '274541564d', series_id: series.id, video_description: "Breakthroughs happen first at the thinking level, and then in the physical world. Years ago, Earl Nightingale said "You become what you think about." Before Earl, the Bible said "As a man thinketh in his heart, so he is." <br /><br /> Ultimately, your thinking determines your results and fulfillment in life. Your thinking drives your actions. You behave the way you do based on your thinking. If you want to get different results, then it makes sense that you'll first need to first shift your thinking."

ChallengeVideo.create day: 11, week_number: 2, video_title: 'Why Measure', video_key: '65859853', daycode: '7e2d50274e', series_id: series.id, video_description: "Measurement is the "breakfast of champions." You simply cannot perform at your best without measurement.<br /><br /> Measurement is the feedback mechanism that provides you with valuable information regarding the effectiveness of your actions.<br /><br />  To be great you will need to measure your progress and results. In addition, and perhaps most importantly, you will need to measure your execution. In The 12 Week YearTM Challenge, you will learn how to use measurement to help you get more of what you want in life."

ChallengeVideo.create day: 12, week_number: 2, video_title: 'Greatness In The Moment', video_key: '65691439', daycode: '6b2c2e384a', series_id: series.id, video_description: "When does a person become great? Your initial response might be similar to mine -- "When they do something great, of course!" Yet, I've come to realize that is not when an individual becomes great. The result is simply the evidence of their greatness. Here's why...  <br /><br />Life is lived in the moment. That really is all we have -- the eternal Right Now. And if you or I are ever going to be great it has to be in the moment. In the end, whether or not we are great in the moment is reflected in our future results."

ChallengeVideo.create day: 13, week_number: 2, video_title: 'Lean Into It!', video_key: '65691723', daycode: '79452f283f', series_id: series.id, video_description: "When we experience change, and are on unfamiliar ground, the natural tendency is to pull back. This response, as natural as it may be, is unproductive, and is one of the reasons why people struggle and fail. <br /><br /> What the situation calls for is not a pull back, rather just the opposite: a leaning into. Think about the difference between a novice downhill skier and a pro. The novice leans back because he is fearful and uncertain, but by leaning back he loses control. The pro on the other hand leans into the hill. It's the same when you are faced with change. Don't pull back. Instead, learn to lean into it!"

In every week you need time to perform, and time to rest and recuperate.<br /><br /> Today is a day of recuperation -- enjoy it!"

How did you do?<br /><br />  Just like last Monday, today we will look back over your week through an After Action Review. We will determine what worked, and identify areas in which you need to be more effective this week.<br /><br /> An After Action Review is a critical component of any high performance system. Living the life you desire is not about perfection, it is about learning. The After Action Review is all about learning."

ChallengeVideo.create day: 16, week_number: 3, video_title: 'Start & End The Day Positively', video_key: '65698203', daycode: '5f546f684f', series_id: series.id, video_description: "Have you ever had a day that literally went bad from the get-go?  <br /><br />How you start your day, and how you end your day, has a profound impact on what happens throughout the day.  <br /><br />Starting and ending the day positively leads to a more productive day. It sets the tone for the entire day. It establishes a mindset, and an attitude, that equips you to deal more effectively with whatever the day brings. Developing the habit of starting and ending your day on a positive pays big dividends."

ChallengeVideo.create day: 17, week_number: 3, video_title: 'The Freedom of Discipline', video_key: '65698357', daycode: '45335a2764', series_id: series.id, video_description: "In today's society, "discipline" is almost a four-letter word. People don't want discipline; they want freedom. Discipline sounds burdensome and onerous – who wants that? We want creativity, and resourcefulness, and an easy flow to life.<br /><br />  I'll let you in on a little secret: Discipline creates freedom. Without discipline, you lack focus. Without discipline you end up fighting fires with very little time left for the important things in life. Discipline allows you to be fiercely original and creative. With discipline, you get more of what you want in life."

ChallengeVideo.create day: 18, week_number: 3, video_title: 'Who You Associate With', video_key: '65702581', daycode: '29492b306d', series_id: series.id, video_description: "One of the most important decisions you make in life is the decision of with whom you choose to associate. All of us have people in our lives that build us up, and encourage us. Unfortunately, most of us also have people in our lives who drag us down. <br /><br /> If you're going to achieve your goals and be the best you can be, you will need to intentionally associate with positive, successful people. Surround yourself with people who care about you, people who will challenge you and encourage you, people who bring out the best in you."

ChallengeVideo.create day: 19, week_number: 3, video_title: 'Asking For Help', video_key: '65753901', daycode: '4c67656258', series_id: series.id, video_description: "For many, asking for help is an admission of incompetence; it represents the white flag of surrender. This is especially true in America, where we value the "rugged individualist." <br /><br /> If you study the most successful people throughout history, you will find that they all leaned on others at times to help them succeed. Asking for help is not an act of ignorance, but rather one of courage and intelligence. It's just plain smart to get help.  "

ChallengeVideo.create day: 20, week_number: 3, video_title: 'Clean Up The Mess', video_key: '65681433', daycode: '40304d634f', series_id: series.id, video_description: "As you build success, you add complexity. Every time you advance to a new level, you create new complexities. Complexity slows you down. <br /><br /> The path to higher performance is not strewn with complexity, quite the contrary. Breakthroughs are simple, elegant, uncomplicated. Complexity clouds your vision, slows you down, and robs you of your enjoyment.<br /><br />  The solution: organize, systematize, simplify - clean up the messes."

ChallengeVideo.create day: 21, week_number: 3, video_title: 'Be A Bucket Filler', video_key: '65681168', daycode: '553e375749', series_id: series.id, video_description: "Are you a "Bucket Filler?" <br /><br /> A bucket filler is someone who goes out of his or her way to make someone feel valued or appreciated. Appreciating others does two things. First, it makes a difference for the person on the receiving end of your comments. It's sad, but most people get very little encouragement and appreciation as they go through their day.<br /><br />  Second, it makes a difference for you. It flat out feels good to complement and appreciate others. That feeling affects your mindset and attitude as you engage various tasks and interact with others.  "

How did you do?<br /><br />  Just like last Monday, today we will look back over your week through an After Action Review. We will determine what worked, and identify areas in which you need to be more effective this week. <br /><br /> An After Action Review is a critical component of any high performance system. Living the life you desire is not about perfection, it is about learning. The After Action Review is all about learning."

You've probably even heard the one that says, "perfect practice makes perfect." But have you heard about Deliberate Practice? <br /><br /> Deliberate practice is how you become world-class in any field. It is a highly structured way of improving. There are three steps to this type of practice: <br /><br />1. Set a process goal;<br /><br />2. Monitor your process and outcomes as they unfold;<br /><br />3. Conduct an after action review.<br /><br /> In today's video, you will learn how to apply deliberate practice in a powerful way."

ChallengeVideo.create day: 24, week_number: 4, video_title: 'Action Over Comfort', video_key: '65681385', daycode: '2b4a552a42', series_id: series.id, video_description: "It takes sacrifice to be great. The good news is that you don't have to sacrifice your family, your health, or your sanity. The number one thing you do need to sacrifice to be great is your comfort.<br /><br /> As humans, we are wired for comfort. We seek comfort in our physical environment, our relationships, and our actions. It's one of the primary roadblocks to being more successful and accomplishing your dreams.<br /><br /> If you are going to perform at your best and achieve what you're capable of, you will need to be willing to choose pleasurable results over pleasurable activity.  "

ChallengeVideo.create day: 25, week_number: 4, video_title: 'Gratitude', video_key: '65691470', daycode: '3e58533c2b', series_id: series.id, video_description: "Success and fulfillment is a balancing act between striving for more and appreciating what you have. It's easy to take for granted what you have and only focus on what you want, but currently don't have, in your life. <br /><br /> Learning to appreciate all that is good in your life is key to not only greater fulfillment and joy, but also success. When you recognize that most areas of your life are working well, you approach your desires and challenges from a position of strength and gratitude. This empowers you to accomplish even greater things. When you walk in gratitude, it sets you up for success."

ChallengeVideo.create day: 26, week_number: 4, video_title: 'Rethink Failure', video_key: '65698021', daycode: '72695a5051', series_id: series.id, video_description: "Did you know that some of the most successful people in the history of the world are also some of the biggest failures? The reason they succeeded is because they thought about failure differently. <br /><br /> Take Thomas Edison for example. Did you know that he had over 9,000 failed experiments before he succeeded in inventing electric light? Had he viewed failure as most do, we might still be reading by candlelight.<br /><br />  Failure can be devastating, or it can simply be a learning experience. How you think about failure makes all the difference."

ChallengeVideo.create day: 27, week_number: 4, video_title: 'Let Others Know', video_key: '65691791', daycode: '6126547b43', series_id: series.id, video_description: "So much of success comes down to accountability. As you now know, accountability is not consequences, but ownership. To achieve anything, you must own it.<br /><br /> One of the ways you can create greater ownership is by going public with your goals. The more people who know about your goals, the more you will do to make certain you succeed. Tell others. Let the world know what you intend to do. Then use that as added motivation to do whatever it takes to accomplish your goals."

ChallengeVideo.create day: 28, week_number: 4, video_title: 'Write A Letter', video_key: '65702642', daycode: '402442364d', series_id: series.id, video_description: "With cell phones, emails, and texting, it seems letter writing has become a lost art. Therefore, one way to stand out in the crowd is to be a letter writer. Because a hand written letter is rare nowadays, when you receive one, you appreciate and remember it. <br /><br /> It only takes a few minutes. Once you begin the habit, you'll find that there are all sorts of occasions for which to send a letter. Try it for the remainder of the 12 Week YearTM Challenge. Start small. Make a commitment to send one letter a week, and see what happens.<br /><br />  If you want to build better relationships and have a positive impact on others, be a letter writer."

The bulk of the journey is the progress, not the arrival. By recognizing your progress, you stay motivated and inspired to continue to take action.<br /><br />  One of the challenges for successful, goal-oriented people, is the loss of perspective on progress. It's easy to lose sight of progress when you are focused on achieving a specific goal."

ChallengeVideo.create day: 30, week_number: 5, video_title: 'The Power Of Ownership', video_key: '65698380', daycode: '4d22477862', series_id: series.id, video_description: "If there is one characteristic that all successful people have in common, it's accountability, or better put "Ownership."  <br /><br />Success requires ownership. To achieve your goals, and live the life you are truly capable of, you will need to stop looking outside of yourself for someone or something to change.<br /><br />Take ownership of your situation and focus on the things that you control.  At one level it really doesn’t matter what others do, or what the economy does.  If you own your goals, and your actions, you will find a way to achieve your vision."

ChallengeVideo.create day: 31, week_number: 5, video_title: 'Make The Day Count', video_key: '65694940', daycode: '2e413b6e65', series_id: series.id, video_description: "Our long-term results are created by what we do each and every day.  Sir William Osler, Founder of Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, said that the secret of his success was living his life in "day-tight compartments." What he discovered was that while we plan for the future, we act in the day.<br /><br />To be truly effective, our daily activity must align with our long-term vision, strategies and tactics. The life you will be living in a year, or 2 years, is being created right now by the actions you take.  Learn to make each day count!"

ChallengeVideo.create day: 32, week_number: 5, video_title: 'Keeping Your Word', video_key: '65691662', daycode: '7c3f7b4f52', series_id: series.id, video_description: "Are you the type of person who keeps his or her word? When you tell someone that you'll do something, do you deliver?  Keeping your word is critical to your success. When you keep your word, you build trust. You build relationships.<br /><br /> A person who keeps his or her word attracts others. People want to associate with a promise keeper. When you consistently keep your word, others know they can count on you. More opportunities come your way, you're included in more deals, people seek your assistance and provide more input.  The bottom line is that people who keep their word are more successful."

ChallengeVideo.create day: 33, week_number: 5, video_title: 'Coming Back', video_key: '66087787', daycode: '27373b446a', series_id: series.id, video_description: "Have you noticed how easy it is to get distracted and lose focus?<br /><br /> Often, we don't realize how diffused our attention is until we consciously attempt to maintain focus. Maintaining focus, whether individually or as an organization, is not a matter of never losing focus, but a matter of reducing the periods of lost focus. <br /><br />To increase your ability to focus, you will need to become good at "Coming Back". Distractions are part of life.The key is coming back to what matters most."

ChallengeVideo.create day: 34, week_number: 5, video_title: 'Courage', video_key: '65681635', daycode: '775a385f53', series_id: series.id, video_description: "The courage to begin and continue is what separates the great ones. Once you've begun something, have the courage to keep moving. The difficulties you encounter will resolve themselves as you advance.<br /><br />The power of courage resides in your decision to do what you know you need to do. Courage is a character trait, and I'm convinced that character is built through application. You can't build character just by reading about it. Character, and specifically courage, is acquired only by exercising it. To have courage you must be courageous. Be courageous this week and do the things you need to do!"

Success comes through focus and concentration. Diffusion leads to frustration and failure. The Power of 3 is all about focus.  <br /><br />Here's how The Power of 3 works. Identify the three most important activities that will bring you the greatest results and spend 80% of your time on them. Sound too simplistic? Try it! It's powerful!"

It's not what you think. Most think that the top performers know something the rest of the world doesn't. The truth is that the very best don't have better ideas, they simply execute more effectively.  <br /><br />Knowledge is only powerful if it's acted on. And great ideas are worthless unless they are implemented. That is why The 12 Week YearTM Challenge is structured to help you execute more effectively."

We're led to believe that somehow we can spend equal time in all the various areas of life – family, work, spouse, health, friends, and community. That's just not possible. And even if it were, I doubt it would create the joy and fulfillment that it promises.  <br /><br />Rather than seek life balance, we should strive for intentional imbalance. There will be times in life -- seasons, if you will -- when you decide to spend more time in one area over another. There is nothing wrong with that. The key is that it is intentional, and by design."

ChallengeVideo.create day: 38, week_number: 6, video_title: 'Productive Tension', video_key: '65695122', daycode: '683b6e4252', series_id: series.id, video_description: "One interesting thing that often happens around this time in the 12 Week YearTM, is what we call "Productive Tension." Productive tension is the uncomfortable feeling you get when you're not doing the things you know you need to do to reach your goals.  <br /><br />Productive Tension is exactly what you want to experience. It is the lead indicator of substantive change. If you eliminate bailing out as an option, then the discomfort of Productive Tension will eventually compel you to take action on your tactics. If turning back is not an option, then the only way to resolve the discomfort is to move forward by executing your plan."

ChallengeVideo.create day: 39, week_number: 6, video_title: 'Difficult Things First', video_key: '65687543', daycode: '78577c5345', series_id: series.id, video_description: "With all we have to do in a day it's no wonder we tend to put off the difficult things. When faced with the choice of tackling a new and difficult task or completing a familiar, easier task, most of us choose the latter. It's nothing to be embarrassed about. It's human nature. Yet, if you are going to accomplish big things in your life, then you will need to stop putting off your future.  <br /><br />To overcome this tendency, I recommend that you build the habit of doing the difficult things early in the week and early in the day.

They can cause us to behave in ways that amaze us, and sometimes embarrass us. At times it feels like we have no say in our emotions, that they just happen and we respond -- but science and research say otherwise.  <br /><br />In the end, your thinking creates your emotions. For every emotion you feel, there is a thought that is creating it. The concept of the “Power of Noticing” asserts that if you put a space between your emotion and your response, and you check-in with your thinking, then you can shift your negative, unproductive emotions to a more productive state."

If you’re serious, you would enter into a life of training.  <br /><br />Training is required for more than just athletics. It’s necessary if you want to learn to play a musical instrument, speak a new language, or run a business. The point is that there is a huge difference between training to do something and trying to do something. If you want to be great, you will need to train to be great."

When we over commit, we break promises and disappoint others -- the very thing we were trying to avoid by not saying no in the first place.  <br /><br />The lack of willingness to say no is founded in good intent. Unfortunately, the reality is that you often over commit and disappoint. People would much rather have you say no up front, then not deliver on the back end.

How will you recognize your progress and the things you’ve achieved in The 12 Week YearTM Challenge? Make it a big deal, because it is! Throw a party! Invite your friends. Go somewhere special for a long weekend with your sweetheart. It really doesn’t matter what form your celebration takes, as long as it’s meaningful to you."

I do so because I want to impress upon you the need to continue on the path you’ve begun. Annual goals and plans are simply not as effective. Going back to annual goals at this point should not even be an option.  <br /><br />You have experienced firsthand the power and benefit of working in the context of the 12 Week YearTM. Now is the time to prepare for your next 12 Week YearTM. Plan on taking some time to rest and celebrate next week. Then, come back and establish your goals and plans for this upcoming year."

I’m certain that many things have changed for you. This past week, I’ve been revisiting some of the core fundamentals that I want you to carry with you long after this 12 Week YearTM has ended.  <br /><br />Today, I want to reinforce how critical your thinking is. By now you know that your thinking drives your actions and, in turn, your actions create your results. Thus, ultimately, your thinking creates your results. Therefore, it stands to reason that if you want a different result – increased income, better health, more loving relationships – then you will need to change something in your thinking in order to consistently change your actions. <br /><br />So, the question I have for you is this: How has your thinking shifted over the past 12 Weeks?"
