Manifesto

Beat The Monster™ Manifesto

1. We believe that people can change their behaviors and habits. Winners make personal changes; losers want other people to change.

2. We believe in the power of habits. We understand a simple philosophy: “Different behaviors, different results. Better habits, better results.” Winners change their habits; losers keep doing the same things expecting different results.

3. We believe in the importance of changing only ONE habit or behavior at a time. Winners focus like a laser beam; losers focus on whatever is in front of them.

4. We believe that the motivation behind the personal change is critical, and we always ask WHY! The bigger the WHY the easier it is to change. Winners ask WHY; losers never ask.

5. We understand the importance of DOING over TRYING. Winners do and succeed; losers try and fail.

6. We believe in DOING whatever it takes to make the change happen whether it is badass or kickass. Winners kick ass; losers get their asses kicked.

7. We believe in results rather than stories. Winners create results; losers tell stories.

8. We believe personal responsibility. Winners take responsibility; losers blame others for their failure.

9. We believe that we are self made and self created. Winners decide to create; losers search to find themselves and keep looking.

10. We believe that people have potential to continuously learn and grow. Winners explore the potential; losers focus on limitations.

11. We believe that people are resourceful and have resources. Winners are resourceful; losers blame the lack of resources.

12. We believe that people’s best thinking brought them here but it will not bring them to where they want to go. Winners are learners; losers already know it all.

13. We believe in monitoring our progress and being honest about the results to ourselves and others. Winners are transparent, losers cover up.

14. We believe that success is a team sport. People change faster and easier when they are supported by someone else. Winners get help; losers work in isolation.

15. We understand the importance of avoiding certain people, places and situations when changing. Winners sacrifice; losers want it all now.

16. We realize the importance of designing and creating an environment that supports your desired lifestyle. Winners create the environment; losers blame the environment.

17. We understand the power of feedback. We believe in rewarding the right behaviors and having negative consequences for unwanted behaviors. Winners thrive on feedback; losers avoid consequences.

18. We know there are bumps and bends in the road to change. Winners adjust and move forward; losers quit.

19. We believe in having FUN! Winners lighten up; losers take themselves too seriously.

20. We believe in flexibility. If 1 to 19 do not work for you and you are too stuck to change, change your environment!
