Getting faster results does not require time and age, not by a long shot. This critical point has to find its way inside of your mind and heart. When it sinks in, you'll know for certain you're not beyond excellence yet.

More than a fruit of genetics or most anything else, the 1 Shortcut Living Class pursues and perceives the most energetically useful of answers. With respect to personal mastery, excellence is among the most personal of choices, excellence is an extension of the best of your actions, repeated, and repeated, and repeated again, with that one magical, near-mystical secret of keeping focus on ONE PERCENT improvement.

Naturally, you are not limited to pursuing just that one single percent uplifting in your performance of repeated acts.. You are free to pursue any level of improvement. The secret is never allowing yourself to pursue less than that one simple percent of improvement. Whatever you do, wherever you do it, there is hardly any useful or legitimate excuse of not getting better and better as you repeat. Look how many tasks you have to repeatedly perform. Does it not make sense to keep getting better at it?

Excellence is a choice, because excellence is a consistent and persistent result of YOUR better choices, when you've been made enough fun of or simply get tired of performing with seemingly incessant mediocrity. Maybe it's as simple as a great idea that comes to you. Sometimes we even reach for our best when we want to impress someone. The point is that every shnook on earth has excellence buried in them. So often, so often, does it pop up where it's "least expected."

How about bartenders and video clerks? Are these paradigms of likelihood with respect to moving upwardly in their professional careers?Invest thought for a minute or three to a bartender his twenties, and a video store clerk of a similar age. Both perceived by friends and family as you'd expect: typical shmoes. No particular reason for them to meet, or know each other, as they live and work in different cities.

Ironic how people can make a decision, a very specific decision, about where they intend to be at a set point in their own future. It's a wonder why you're not, when you give even a brief look at this high school dropout, renting videos to customers for a local lady who knew what she wanted -- to own a video store -- or to the bartender who had NOT been voted "Most Likely To Succeed" in high school, with his school-wide repute as a real wiseass.

First you've got a guy making five bucks an hour for himself (and quite a bit more for the owner of the store), Just because he was a video store clerk doesn't mean he didn't have dreams and wishes; of course he did. the big difference between that clerk and the person reading this -- oops, that's you, isn't it? -- in fact the single most observable difference between our high school dropout and you personally is that he considered his dream important enough for him to put his dream into writing, on a piece of paper, and made a list of just some of the smaller steps he'd have to take in order to get to his dream... and you haven't!!

The 1 Shortcut Living Class is almost a no-brainer for dreamers who understand that dreams with deadines are the defined examples of GOALS. Dreamers and more dreamers, don't you just love them? they are the most singularly interesting of all people.

Whether or not your studies have enlightened to you the following fact, it's valuable to repeat it, either way. Dreamers are, unexceptionally, those we are most dependent upon. George Bernard Shaw declared that reasonable men adapt themselves to the world whereas the unreasonable man is the one who adapts the world to himself, which means, by definition, that all progress depends upon the unreasonable man.

That's worth chewing on for just a minute, because hundreds of thousands of masters and champions were, at one point, below where you're at on the totem pole of life. Bartenders and billionaires both put their socks on one at a time. Those with higher expectations outperform their confreres on a nearly never-ending basis. It's not about brains; it's about expectations. It's not about hopes; it's about expectations. Stop and consider the very real fact of life that so-called dreams, often accused of being disconnected with reality - appropriately so - have proven over time to have taken more actions and achieved more levels of greatness than, well, than people much like you...

... putatively practical, pragmatic folks, who talk about how you COULD have your dream if only......

Uch, why are we exposed to such whining, loss-focused attitudes, especially now and today, with so many phenomenally effective shortcuts available to you within minutes, MINUTES of right now?

What makes it so offensive is that people who DON'T have their dream come true are in that position strictly because they refuse to hush up, put it in writing, and break it into smaller, infinitely more-manageable smaller pieces. They demonstrate a preference for offering excuses, and explain why they can't have it, instead of identifying and putting into writing ideas on how to go about getting there.

Henry Ford phrased it well when he said,
  "People who say it can't be done
should stop interrupting those who are doing it."  

Please forgive me: I can't explain to you why my dreams are achievable or not: I'm just too busy doing what's necessary to make them happen, to turn them into defined goals with deadlines and in little tiny pieces so as to enjoy at least some measure of control over my destination or destiny or kismet or luck or whatever term you might use that ultimately separates us best, for it's all a matter of choice; all a matter of deciding what is worth your attention or mine.

The identical energy that we both have, perfectly identical brain energy, appears to be focused in different directions: you focused on why you can't, in the same second that I stay focused on how I can. I admit that I don't know HOW to make my dream come true, and then I go out and find people who can tell me; those who have done it, those who are doing it now.
 
Keep it real and keep it focused on what is utile, what is most profitably useful to YOU. Think from the coign of vantage of 1 Shortcut Living Class state of mind, seeking the simplest and surest resolution currently available.

Let's say, for example, that you have never once sat at a computer. It requires, and I kid you not, it generally takes up no more than a handful of seconds from the time you first sit at a computer, even if it's the first time in your life, LESS than 100 seconds for you to learn how to get thousands of answers to a hundred thousand different questions you might ask.
 
You want advice? Enormous loans? Freebies? Free courses on public relations or brain surgery, door-to-door instructions to a house on the other end of the country? Guitar lessons? the ability to use a camera many thousands of miles up in the sky? Free scholarships?

Learn to search with a bit more efficiency. Ask better questions to get better answers! All this, and so much more are just seconds away when you invest one minute a few times per week teaching yourself delicious little search secrets, or search shortcuts, and effort which requires barely a minute of instruction or experimenting. If the computer you're sitting at is connected to the Internet, there is a white box in front of you. Just type what you're looking for, in plain language, and it will find it for you. Yes, that simply.
 
With respect to approximately everything or anything that I cannot already perform with excellence or at least competence, do you really think I'll ask my cousin or next-door neighbor, or my Aunt Tilly/Nilly/Billy or Shmilly?

Of course not! I'm going to go as directly and quickly as possible to the horse's mouth:
  those who have already done it at a world-class level.  

Let's cut right to the chase. there is so little wiggle room for doubt: when a dozen masters in a single field answer thirty-one questions, and four of their answers are almost perfectly AND universally identical, only a moron would presume to know more, or to know better, about the field in which they are masters, let alone how to get up the ladder to being a master. Are we on the same page?
 
Why would anyone go to the wrong end of the horse to seek top-notch info? Here we have the information, the methods, The very words used by the best of the best in every single one of a thousand different human efforts. Gee, did I say a thousand? Yes, I did, probably because there's some question about whether you're even vaguely capable or willing to consider that there are thousands of experts on hundreds of thousands of different subjects.
 
Does that statement touch you in any effective, meaningful way? Can you hear your too-internalized passions calling out to be heard and tried and tested before the grim reaper rings your doorbell? Of course it's a strong statement, because it carries observable impact. Life-changing, in fact, for those tiny little numbers of you, just seven percent of the population, who are so much smarter than anyone around them (with the possible expection of one of your parents) ever, ever conceived of you being. Much smarter for no other reason than that you're openminded enough, therefore smart enough, to treat this document as a personal wakeup call AND advisory that virtually everything is available to you right now. As a result, the next few hours, and the next several days, will find you making more efforts, AND THEREFORE MORE PROGRESS, than you have ever made in your life before. Best of all, it applies to every human effort, from getting a medical degree or on the local police force, into a rock band or running unusually successful garage sales at your home every month.
 
Since your actions of the weeks and months and now years make it difficult to believe that you can grasp the very idea and reality of having thousands of experts on each one of so many thousands of human efforts,settle for understanding that you can find at least one thousand top-notch experts on any subject on earth.
 
Having made it past this intensely important bridge, let's shut up and tap into this potent resource, and let's do so today. Just 100 seconds to sit at a computer at any public libary in America and learn just about instantly how to search for any subject on earth.
