Jack Canfield.
The mechanics of becoming empowered enough to accomplish your goals, not just with work, but relationships, health, money and overall happiness, will be systematically addressed in Jack Canfield's Success Principles 2009.
During this interactive, full-day event taking place May 23 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre (learn more or register at www.univ ersalenergieseventplanning.com), Canfield, the originator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, contributing author of the hit movie The Secret, and leading American success teacher, will focus on how to use the laws of attraction to create the life you want.
"I've developed various exercises that will enable people to achieve lasting changes in their lives," Canfield says.
At the event, which is geared towards company executives, entrepreneurs and anyone wanting to achieve meaningful and permanent life change, Canfield will start by asking participants to stop being blamers and complainers and take full responsibility for their lives, which he says is essential to becoming empowered.
Then, attendees will determine their life purpose, based on their interests and abilities, so that they can appropriately plan their next life steps to fulfil this purpose.
"Everybody is born with a purpose that is encoded through their talents and the things that give them the greatest joy," Canfield says. "For some, it's making music; for others, it's being the top salesperson or doing research. You need to align your actions with your purpose."
Next, participants will clarify their vision for their lives in seven core areas: finance, employment, relationships, health and fitness, fun and recreation, personal and contributions to the world.
"As you become more successful and enjoy more abundance, a big piece of success is finding more ways to contribute to others," he says.
The next step is to figure out how to turn life dreams into concrete realities. Canfield will discuss how to develop sets of specific goals, how to measure your progress at achieving them, and how to connect with an accountability partner to help stay on track.
Canfield will also cover how to understand and harness the power of your intentions to cultivate your ideal life.
"The mind is creative, and it creates your attitude. It's involved in the law of attraction, and we attract into our life that which we think about. Worrying is thinking about that which we don't want," he says. "We'll talk about using the laws of attraction to attract the people, opportunities and resources to allow us to manifest what we want."
Other elements to be covered include tapping the power of visualization to achieve objectives; reducing stress to enjoy a more centred, calm and joyful life; staying action-oriented in the face of negativity and rejection; soliciting and learning from feedback of others; and evolving from an inner critic into an inner coach.
Participants will also learn about Canfield's tried-and-tested 10-step system to achieving dramatic
life change.
"This system is based on scientific research principles and it produces results. Everyone is going to have a breakthrough in their life," he says.
Canfield says participants need an outlook that's positive and open-minded, both during and after the event, to reap the most benefits.
"The reality is that people who are at the top have a tremendous sense of openness and positivity and expectation that everything will work out," he says. "You need to be confident that you'll be able to apply what you learn, produce good results and create what you want in life."
