This presentation gives you 4 practical actions you can take right now to immediately advance your success in business (and in life).
Building a successful business is as much about developing your individual capacity to succeed as it is creating or marketing “slick” products. There is no doubt you will be challenged along the way. All business owners are.
What makes the difference between the wildly successful, the average successes, and those who struggle is the degree to which you master personal success practices and habits necessary to generate the success you seek.
In this presentation I shared 4 simple success tips that will dramatically accelerate your success. You can see from the comments below that this lesson has had a big impact on a multitude of others thus far, so let me challenge you to try them out for 21 days and see what happens.
I am excited to read your thoughts and about the success these techniques help you generate.
Do you see evidence of these 4 saboteurs in your experiences thus far?
Do you see how the techniques I’ve shared with you will help you avoid these success thieves?
Please share your insights by commenting below.
Keep an eye out for my next email. It contains a link to a resource which builds on what you’ve received thus far and guarantees you win-big in life and business.
I’m standing for all that is possible for you in life and business.
Steve

Hey Steve,
Mindbreaking information there. It’s like Tony Robbins says “It’s that tiny difference that you make that takes you to drastically higher success over time”.
I appreciate all the insights and help you are giving everybody.
Thanks
Kenneth
Thank you so much for bringing things back into focus. Looking forward to your next email!
Hi Steve,
I had been sbotaging myself earlier in my career by doing all the things you said should not have been done. Then came the emotional, mental and physical collapse, after which I was forced to do my work the way you recommended, and my biz has shown improvement year on year, unlike previously, when I had unhealthy work habits and everything just stagnated.
Steve you are a great help to my mind set on business
Great stuff, I now thinking more of developing a franchise myself rather than selling the idea!
Thanks, Steve,
I can see now that I’ve been sabotaging myself for years as I have never been able to concentrate on doing at least one thing to completion. I have so many projects going on, I have no time to devote to any of them, so nothing gets done. My personal life is a mess, I make only enough money to get by, I’m nervous and agitated all the time and take it out on my family. This has helped me see myself…and its time for a change. I intent to concentrate on completing the one thing that will ensure my future. I intend to allow myself some “down time” without guilt and worry. I will make my love life relaxing and enjoyable. I will schedule my life around happiness and what really creates it instead of running myself ragged. Great help in forcing me to see the self I am versus what I should be.
Hello, Thankyou so much for reminding me of this. I will have to practice this more often. Distractions boy can I relate. I have been having a hard time taking breaks in between for my mind has been having too much chatter. Multi tasking yeah I agree it does waste time. Thankyou and I will implement this list.
Steve, Thank you very much very appreciated!…
Steve,
I was proud of my ability to multi-task but in reality it is clear to me now as to why I have not accomplished anything at the level I want. I am a “Balanced”, “Balanced”, “Balanced”, “Prevailing”, “Orderly”, “Controlled” in the Performance competency matrix. So, I need a structure and routine to succeed and in this video, I believe you have given me that structure. Yes, e-mail, and mind chatter are biggest problems for me and I have decided to follow your advice verbatim. I am still struggling with the mental blocks and I don’t know what they are precisely what is holding me back and once I know them I can take action to remove them and put myself on the path of success which has been my goal all the time but not the results that I want. If you have any suggestions, I’d welcome them and thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Again, this video has been extremely valuable and I have begun to put them in practice starting right now. One thing you have shown me is that just as you need a lit candle to light another candle, you are the lit candle and I am ready to follow your lead.
Thanks you very much.

Steve,
Good information. never realized that i needed to take time off to be successfull. I grew up with the old wisdom of- “the harder you work, the more success you will have”.
This is my favorite segment so far. It’s practical info that I can use immediately. It changes the way I plan my day and think about breaks and time off. Good stuff!
Hi Steve, Once again that was truly great you know,this Just the wild wonderful brain decided that it would keep me extra busy instead of focusing on one thing a t a time so yes truly good to be reminded as I get caught up in it , have a wonderful day Steve and as I said thank you ever so much for sharing that with me .Estelle
Thanks steve Im glad to know it’s ok to relax. also I enjoyed the part about the calender 2 hours then take a break
Steve, I find that I get distacted pretty easy, and I am not at all for multi tasking.
I like to focus on, and master one item at a time, so I find it good to here you say
that this is a bad thing. I am just starting out in a buisness and in the process
of putting all the key elements to gether to get it of the ground.
Thanks
Jason
Wow! I suspected that I would get ‘dinged’ (if you will) on one or two of these, but I had no idea that I would fall into all four categories! You make this sound so simple to correct and I certainly want to get to this place. Maried
Excellent recommendations for what you have described are common problems, especially the mind chatter. I do like separating yourself away from the business for a couple of days a week. I would say most people do not follow this advice. Thanks for covering these points and your solutions
This has been the most useful video of all for me!! I have all 4 saboteurs. So what I have done is to completely erase both bulletin boards. One now has the list of the dreaded 4 with their counters. The second board has a calendar with tasks and when they are to be complete, neatly broken into (close to) 2 hour blocks of time. And also I will no longer feel panic when I take a day off!
Sorry Steve, but you are about a 1 hr distraction during my work day…hahaha…maybe I’ll watch on my off time…

Sorry Steve, but your videos have to go since they are about a 1 hr distraction during my work day…hahaha…maybe I’ll watch on my off time…
Thanks Steve – your info is well presented and most informative. cheers Kaye
First Off, let me commend your clearness on this subject. I am not an expert on this subject, but after studying your article, my understanding has improved well. Please tolerate me to take hold of your rss feed to stay in touch with any upcoming updates. Genuine job and will pass it on to acquaintances and my web site fans.
Steve, I’m signed up for the coaching course, is the 21 day course different? If not, is the Perfect biz finder e-book included in the coaching mentor course? Is the coaching an extension of the E-book? Thank you BTW for this video blog and the content herein todays was great! Just a little confused about the 21 day course as the sales rep that called me about the coaching and mentoring told me it should be 7 months. Thx again for all you do Philip Baldwin
Hi Steve I’ve read the book the Book “the Secret” and watched the movie several times. I’ve also read Jack Canfield’s the Success Principles 3-4 times and I’m involved in a personnel self help program that I’ve been doing fo rhte past year and I wanted to say that all these things that you’ve said in your videos all ties in together so why not learn from successful people such as Joe Vitale Jack Canfield Anthony Robbins Bob Proctor T Harv Eker and so on I just wanted to say Thank You so very much its a great inspiration to have others share their wealth and knowledge on this subject. My biggest thing is to avoid negative reaction and lack of support form family members who seem to have an answer for everything … How do you deal with that issue? any ideas Thnx George in Canada
Hey, I LOVE the 2 hours of focused energy and then 15-30 mins of nothing or meditation. I’m so glad to hear you say that multi tasking is not the thing to do. I think the devil created it. All I have to do is think about people who are the BEST at what they do. They DO NOT multi-task it. Who’d want their surgeon booking more appointments while performing surgery.
Hi Steve…
I am a ‘contemporary’ painter…if that expression has any meaning! I have been
attracted to your sessions because of your philosophy… I can’t really consider myself
a business person… probably the farthest thing from it! But I am interested in
thinking about your approach to ‘focusing’ on the issues that apply to ones daily
activities… and whether or not those activities are ‘business’ or ‘fine art painting’,
the dynamics are the same…
You seem to be really focusing on addressing the ‘human condition’… and
attempting to accommodate those factors in an intelligent way…
I will look deeper into what you’re saying…
thanks
Gary
Steve,
I must say that these top (4) four things that you have mentioned has further increased my awareness with my pursuit of success.
I do check my e-mail habitually like I am expecting an important message. This is something that I need to set a specific time during the day to check my e-mails and then for the rest of the day focus on my 2 hour blocks of time and then take my 15-30 minute rest breaks in between.
Now the routines that I do daily is something that has become a habit. This is mainly geared toward my spiritual and self development.
As far as the Rest and recovery for the 2 day off idea is something else that I should also consider. I suppose that by applying a regular Monday through Friday routine with (2) two hour blocks of time with breaks and then on the weekends just get away from all of it should work out find. As a matter of fact, since it is the weekend starting today, I just may do that.
Another thing that I might add is that a daily (30) thirty minute meditation session is a must in order to CLEAR YOUR MIND from everything in order to recenter yourself. This is something that should be practiced on a daily basis in order to RENEW yourself.
I thank you for taking the time to share this with the group and I did hear that you are closing the Blog as well? One of my strengths is in Training and should you make the decision to reach out to more people with this kind of insight, I would be more than willing to work out something with you so that I can do Webinars and more.
Again, thank you and I will put this into practice.

Thanks Steve,
Yes, I’m guilty on all 4 counts too. Special thanks for the solutions, spot on!
No wonder I’m constantly struggling with unfinished tasks und projects, and
going nowhere fast yet! Not resting during the day has’nt helped either!
That will all change now, I am very inspired!
Dear Steve, I’m one step clearer on this business. It has made a big difference to me in the way this opportunity has been presented to me. I feel I can trust you and PerfectBizFinder. I want to do affiliate marketing as my first Internet business. I faxed my W-9 to your office today. Are you going to tell me to get an accountant right now if I ask a question about sole proprietor vs LLC structure? I checked sole proprietor but I may want to change that to LLC. Does that form stay with you or do I have to deal with the IRS to change it if I decide to? I have a course from the SBA on writing a business plan, it’s free (www.sba.gov/training). Do you go over business plans? How much money will I need and for what to get started? I self capitalize, meaning it comes out of my paycheck. I realize my next step is purchase TPBF course. I can do this on the 19th. Do I need the legal stuff in place before I do affiliate marketing? If so, I will have to wait 2 months. I must take care of one bill and then I can start spending on the business. At least I have a timetable. Do you see any major things I missed? I would appreciate a reply back. Thanks, Karen
Hi Karen!
Thank you for your inquiry. So many great questions! =0)
I totally love your energy!.
I’ve answered then each privately as extensively as I believe you’ll need initially.
In general I think it can be advantageous to hold off on writing a formal ‘business plan’ at this juncture. I find that this often puts the proverbial cart before the horse and you end up making such extensive changes that it wastes a lot of time and energy which could be otherwise and better invested in building the business itself.
Its NOT that I don’t think you’ll ever need a business plan. It is really a matter of determining when a business plan will actually serve you and doing it then.
In my opinion you’re better served by using ThePerfectBizFinder Program to identify all the critical aspects that define your perfect business and the financial and lifestyle returns you expect FIRST. Then you’ll be able to proceed with confidence, clarity and efficiency.
As those in my PerfectBizBuilder Coaching Mastermind can attest to, my opinion self financing is by far the superior path to taking on investors and debt. There is a distinction to be made between good debt and bad debt for business, but you’ll learn that in this program when you need to also.
So again, in general terms I would not get too wrapped in a lot of legalese at this stage. Let’s get you started and prove a viable business model before you invest a lot of time and energy on things that are not truly relevant to your success.
I’m look forward to helping you create the business that delivers everything you want.
I’m standing for all that’s possible for you in life and business.
Sincerely,
Steve
PS – Keep feeding us your amazing energy. It’s awesome!
I really enjoyede this video session. I heard of these before and been applying them to the the success I like to have.
Steve,
Thanks so much for sharing your expertise with everyone (especially me). Seven years ago following an accident, I couldn’t’ stay standing to teach grade school for long periods of time – thus the beginning of my internet business! Although my back has gotten better, I’ve given up teaching and have tried and tried to ‘grow’ my business. However, on a shoe-string budget (still after 7 years), I’m just barely doing better than a part-time Avon lady. I’m fast approaching burn-out and your video arrived just in time. Since I’m the only one in my ‘company’ now, I’m the chief, cook, and bottle washer. I would LOVE to be able to hire someone to delegate a lot of little things to, but that’s not in the budget right now either. Any suggestions on that?
Bless you and thank you again.
Thank you Steve for bringing me back to earth. I had drawn up my own schedule based on my movements rather than time, although they are given blocks of time to work within, this had been diverted to deal with the non-essentials. You are right. In thinking that the need to clear my inbox etc was important has taken me from the focus needed to progress. I realize too that the joy and passion that i had, the fresh ideas that used to come spilling from my mind is noticeably absent and i miss the excitement that used to have that down stream flow, that has now turned to an uphill battle. The solutions to these 4 saboteurs are brilliant. I shall redesign my schedule to include your solutions. Again, thank you, i appreciate the valuable content of your experience that you have shared and am seriously considering registering with you. For all the ‘guru’s’ who have offered their courses, this fits me best. Thank you:)
Thank you, Steve for explaining how the 4 saboteurs are overcame. How to break the cycle and achieve positive results. This is a lesson that has to be practiced to fully understand. Thank you again for this video.
Thanks, Steve. Very relevant for me.
Great information! Thanks for everything you share Steve!!!
Steve:Wow…Well-spoken and well-delivered! I am on the verge of starting a business and the timing of the arrival of what you stand for couldn’t come at a better time. I am ready to move myself to the next level–not only business-wise, but personally. I have been stuck and buried in self-defeating beliefs and it is now I am ready to soar. All the things that sabatoge me and my work are wasting my time and others. Its time to get real, be real, and walk and work in truth.Obviously, you are in your truth…the Dr. Phil of entrepreneurs.
How about delegation of authority, responsibility and or tasks? Would this solve multi-tasking sabotage? I am on that situation primarily because my job is managing a multi-purpose cooperative. epineto
Good advice but missing an important point. Typically entrepreneurs assemble teams. I have my life invested in collaborative processes that help people work together better. This is the focus of http://www.patientdoctoralliance.com . So, my most important question is: how do you coordinate a group of 6 inter-disciplinary team members to overcome these 4 saboteurs at the same time.. so we all work together synergistically and get more done … together?
Great advice. I killed my email and unsubbed from a bunch of lists straight after watching it. Set 4 goals to be accomplished in 2+hour blocks for all next week so I can really kick off my sales of online services to offline businesses (anyone here want the front page of Google LOL).Had a 15 minute snooze (I like that one – best advice I have had since forever). Now about to block out the tasks in the diary. First one is “systems” so I can sell my business if I ever get sick of it …Thanks Steve – how come your 21 day progaram is so cost effective?
Thanks Steve, I had’nt heard of completely unplugging, I was always told you should have your antennas up at all times, this was frustrating to me because if i wasn’t looking for prospects i would feel guilty for just enjoying the moment for myself or time with my family. That meant no down time. This information you shared today was freeing and makes a lot of sense. Thanks so much for giving of yourself to help others to become successful.
very good. I am concerned with mind chattering. I will try to apply your advises.
Steve, I thank you for the info about the four saboteurs. Almost every word you said hit me dead on. And it’s frustrating to be that way too. I hope I can use this for the future success of my business as it looks like you have. Thanks again, carry on sir. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Hi Steve, I certainly enjoyed you video and you really hit the nail on the head. I find myself doing all of those things. I am currently looking for a business to do from home but I don’t have a product and most of the businesses I have looked at are really mostly a scam. Your information was very real and I thank you.Donna
Thank you Steve, so much for reminding me of what I need to do. I realize I have been a victim to all of these traits as I was starting up my business plan. Working from home has had benefits but again losing sight of setting up my own rituals to rest and renew. I am in my 5th month of starting my business and have alot to learn and accomplish.
Luckily part of my business is finding tools that are effective in managing a more healthy lifestyle. This months focus is on yoga and meditation exercises.
I also decided to change my thinking of planning my projects with Anthony Robbins RPM Plan which includes chunking in the 2 hrs for the projects I am working on to get moving with my internet marketing business. I am also learning I need to chunk in time to live a healthy personal life .
This has been challenging in that I have been jumping from one task to another. Email, research etc without the accomplishments I had been hoping for. Thanks for the” The perfectBizFinder Entrepreneurial strengths survey results, it described my strengths perfectly.
I look forward to more of your information.
Yours sincerely
Visma Mesley
Good Grief! It is Saturday, and I was figuring out what would be a good offer on a condo (making calculations with a calculator) and cleaning off my desk WHILE listening to your video. I hope I am not incurable.
As for emails, my business IS emails (photos of wounds for me to do consultations on). What I plan to do is keep those emails totally separate from all others. They have to be more secure anyway, but your video helped me see the value of having separate email for the actual work of my business.
I love your videos! I have deleted all the other things that come in.

Hi Steve,This information comes at the perfect time for me. My husband and I have been battling these sabateurs while trying to revamp our insurance business and upgrade our cusomer care. The word “rest” has been infrequently in our vocabularies recently, although we’v been taking one day a week off for liesure/fun activities. But my body and mind and spirit have been telling me “one day is not enough… you need two!”While I use my calendar, I fill it with little boxes for small tasks and appointments. I will begin with the calendar changes, and will continue to file the clutter that’s all over my office and desk due to multi-tasking. The thought of a neat, efficient and peaceful workspace sounds so appealing! I know my ability to take on several new management positions will be considerably easier as I initiate you process in my life.Blessings,Carol
Hi Steve, thank you so much for all the videos you produce to help people all over the world. I fully agree with you and I find the rest so important and the time away from the business once in a while. Thank you for sharing everything. Kirsten from Denmark
have been enjoying your videos, and find them helpful. Thanks
Steve:The best thing I got out of this is to take some time out for yourself. I constantly find myself going in a 100 different directions at the sane time and at the end of the day I sometimes wonder what I have accomplished. On those rare occasions where I decide to goof off a little, maybe go get a cup of Starbucks or just walk around in a store or blow everything off and read a couple of chapters in a book I am interested in I find that I come back to the tasks at hand with a renewed effort and better focus. Too often we all forget about ourselves and what our needs are.
