How Much Is Enough?

I previously stated that I participated in the Landmark Forum, and this weekend I continued my education by participating in the Landmark Advanced Course. I not only recommend this education to you, your family, and everyone you know but I stand for it.

The time frame in which this course takes place is Friday, Saturday, Sunday and a Tuesday evening. Tuesday evening is our opportunity as the participants to bring guests. I absolutely love this education and I see it as completely transformational. My dilemma is — how many people do I bring with me on Tuesday evening?

How many times in your life do you set a goal, but do not know what, or how much, it will take to achieve it? It is very mediocre to say, for example, I will bake today. It’s fine to say I will bake cup cakes today. It’s powerful to say I will bake 100 cup cakes today by 5pm.

Do you live a mediocre or fine life or do you live life powerfully? The method to achieving your goals is through the declaration of specific and measurable goals. The key is to declare them as if you are the type of person that WILL get these goals done.

I’ve used the terms be-do-have in several articles in the past. Meaning be the type of person that does the necessary things to achieve the desired results. When your desired results are both specific and measurable you have just entered the game, for real. The method by which you get to your goals can vary and shift throughout the process, but if you know where you are going, clearly, you will get there guaranteed.

So getting back to my dilemma. How many people do I bring with me Tuesday night? Good question. I need a specific and measurable goal, which I’m setting as 10 people who will come and join me on Tuesday evening at the Landmark Forum.

How many people do I have to call and talk to in order to get 10 people to come with me? How much is enough?

However much is takes and not a bit less.

What area of your life could you step up your game and live powerfully by setting specific and measurable goals instead of just floating along aimlessly? Share in the comments.

How many people do you need to call in order to get 10 people to come? It depends. If they are loyal readers near your hometown, probably about 15-20. If they are friends, maybe a few more.

My mom is a huge promoter of the Landmark Forum, and has been through every advanced course you can think of for the past 10 years. She swears by it, and I have yet to go to an introduction class. She continues to beg me to go, but I think that is what has made me not want to go. I hear great things from her, but some negative things from others.

Could you give me your point of view on why I should check out a class, or why and how it has changed your perspective on things?

Thanks.

My wife, daughter, several of my family and friends and I have participated several Landmark courses. What I learned there has had a big influence on my life, including relationships with my wife and daughter that I never dreamed possible. The results have been positively life altering.

I believe everyone should do their homework before participating in any activity. Here are some of the things I discovered in doing my homework. I attained many of the benefits shown here.

The following is a link to a Harris Interactive independent survey of health professionals and educators who had participated in programs offered by Landmark Education.

Harris Interactive found that survey results showed that the vast majority of respondents held very positive views regarding Landmark Education programs as more than nine of ten agreed that Landmark’s programs were responsibly and professionally conducted, produced practical and powerful results, and made a profound difference in their lives. Moreover, nearly all respondents (96%) agreed that Landmark Education Programs provided great value.

Dr. Raymond D. Fowler, Executive Vice President and Chief Executive Officer American Psychological Association, who participated in The Landmark Forum with his wife, who is also a psychologist, published the following.
