10 Laws of Success

The first 5 laws are stated by Arnold Schwarzenegger from his motivation speech video (shown below). Because he is a great role model his rules are used in this framework. Role models assist us in achieving our goals faster. Hence role models are Laws of Success 9. Tap the links to read and watch me explain each rule individually, with wild biting cockatoos. I often explain how each rule fits into the framework.
Law 1: Vision: Where are you going. Activate your right brain and unconscious mind.
Law 2: Think Big: Aim big to learn and stretch yourself.
Law 3: Ignore the Nay-sayers: How to use negativity from others to help motivate success.
Law 4: Work Your Ass Off: Apply, apply and apply. Yes, that's Arnold's exact words (not mine). This resets your unconscious mind and maximises learning.
Law 5: Give Back: When you give back you grow and learn more. It feels good to give back. Feeling good is success.

Below are Jason's additional 5 Laws of Success to make it doable for everyone. To be included as a law here these Laws 6 - 10 have to assist with developing happiness and joy, which is a result of being consciously in the Learning State. These next laws make success methodical, practical and as fast as possible.

Law 6: Balance: Balance is required for long term success. It requires all areas of your life to work nicely. No burnout or crashing.
Law 7: Community: A community of Yay-sayers and support helps you excel faster. It's the antidote to the Nay-sayers.
Law 8: Your Uniqueness: What are your gifts? We are all unique, this is your gift to the world. Find and develop the real you. When you are naturally yourself it greatly assists with feeling peaceful and being happy, no pretending to appease others.
Law 9: Role-models & Leadership: Who inspires you, how do they do it? Watch and try it. Then show it by being a leader.
Law 10: Mastery: To live in the Learning State by default, the natural habit. It is a life of resourcefulness, peace and Joy! Reclaim your birthright.

To have a vision is very important for your unconscious mind. Firstly it is the big picture. This activates the right hemisphere of the brain. It gives the unconscious mind the information so it can actively seek out what you are wanting. A key prime directive of the unconscious is that it's a faithful servant of your needs and wants. Use this innate drive to your advantage. With no vision, there is no direction for your most valuable resource, your unconscious mind, to work towards.

"Never think small" says Arnold Schwarzenegger "so Think Big". Your unconscious mind likes you to have more so give it something big to aim at. If aiming low like flipping patties at McDonald's is your life quest then seek extreme happiness. These core skills here will have you in bliss while you flip burgers. Keep in mind with automation and artificial intelligence pattie flipping may not be around much longer. In late 2021 ex-Space X staff made a fully robotic pizza truck.

You can be happy in any job and situation. That is Law 10 Mastery after you have reset your unconscious mind's default habit to the Learning State. Then there is a non-stop undercurrent of joy and happiness. But to be practical and financially viable you need to aim at something that will support you, preferably something you enjoy doing or sharing.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is adamant on ignore the Nay-sayers. He received a lot of Nay-saying because of his big vision and the enormity of the tasks he wanted to be world-class in. I am sure you can easily recall people putting you down and trying to limit you. It really can have de-motivating and life changing consequences. It impacts the unconscious mind and triggers the yellow or red traffic light states. In life often the worst Nay-sayers are the bullies, this requires action to solve it.

The unconscious mind's prime directives (the rules) mean that Nay-saying has an impact on us. The unconscious mind is like a 5 year old child. It wants to serve, to be happy and help the best outcomes for everyone. Our unconscious really is benevolent, to be a good human being is its natural drive.

The biggest kicker with the prime directives is your unconscious takes everything personally. Thus Nay-saying does hit the unconscious mind. It is very important to be vigilant of this negative impact. It is beneficial to consciously action something positive to reverse this negative slant in your mind and body. To let Nay-saying knock you is literally allowing your inner 5 year old be beaten up. The deeper areas on the brain are activated into fight flight responses from Nay-saying. This is fight-flight is hard to change, but the skills taught here can do this. This all ties into the 9 pillar framework to help you function at your best.

Arnold and I both say to turn that around into motivation. Unfortunately, motivation caused by 'I'll prove you wrong' is based on negative emotions, usually a derivative of anger. Anger is the emotion that says 'something needs to change here'. Anger derived emotions provide the energy to perform it. It is important to be State Aware and not resort to automatic bad behaviours with anger based emotions. Hence these life skills taught here help develop your emotional intelligence. The best solution to nay-saying is Law 7: Community, find some Yay-sayers.

Being highly driven like Arnold Schwarzenegger can have severe drawbacks. Some people do manage it, but for how long before they suffer ill health either physically or mentally? Balance also ties into Law 8: Your Uniqueness. We all have different capacities, capabilities and inherent motivation. Arnold started his speech by saying he was always highly driven. In the question time after his keynote speech, he comments that giving this presentation was fun and relaxing for him. This is because he has mastered these skills (law 10), it is then natural and easy. Our environment also impacts our performance. A positive environment is easy and fun to work in (green traffic light states), an environment with a bully is severely draining and stressful (triggers yellow and red traffic light states).

We can sometimes be highly driven in one area of life but not others. This points to what interests us, or what we may be avoiding. It pays to take a look at all areas of your life to check and evaluate if there are any imbalances. What are the consequences of the imbalances is important to know, then change it if needed.

Who is around you? Are you given support to make your life better in a positive way? Having people around you who have the same focus and intentions really helps.

We are all unique. We all have something that we are inherently good at. Do you know what your talents or abilities are? Often our natural gifts are not used, or worse put down and suppressed. If you are good at something that is unique often it makes us a target for Nay-saying.

Individuality is often squashed in our community and society. Education systems like conformity so they can teach content one way, and use standardised assessment tools. But we all have different ways we learn, share and thrive as happy contributing members of society. Finding this uniqueness is key. In coaching we will certainly look for your inner abilities and see how these can be used. It is important to find avenues to grow and use your uniqueness. This helps activate more of your neurology, to help you in standardised education systems.

Observing and examining a role model can give valuable insights into how you can do this yourself. Arnold Schwarzenegger did not make role models a law of success. He certainly makes it clear they were his inspiration and example of how to become the best. Arnold says more about that in the question section after the speech. Reg Park was his inspiring role model for body building who became a movie star. Arnold then set that as his vision (Law 1) and the rest is history.

A role model can be anyone who embodies and has something you want in your life. Role models can be a friend, family members, teacher or world stage personalities like Jacinda Ardern, Serena Williams or Barack Obama. A role model may just represent one skill set you aspire to be such as sporting abilities, their ability to communicate and or handle crisis situations smoothly.

I have actively looked for and learned from my role models. Three of my role models are on the About Jason page. I was fortunate enough to work with and deeply understand how they operated, thought and succeeded in what they did. I have had my current mentor and supervisor for over 20 years.

If you want to succeed fast the best way is to look for a role model. Then research them, find out what they do and how they do it. The next stage is then to try and live that. This is the second half of the law, leadership. Firstly is to be a leader of yourself and your unconscious mind, to learn the new habits and skills. Then to share that, to be a leader and share it with others through demonstrating it. This will give you feedback to further improve what it is you are working towards.

The final Law of Success is Mastery! This is where all components are worked together and the resourceful habits take over at an unconscious level. Then by default the desired skills, attitudes and success are easy. Mastery is earned. Mastery firstly takes self-honesty, self-responsibility. This is why I use the term Law Zero because without this it is impossible. Once you are willing to see what is required and self-evaluate honestly then it is about practicing the core life skills of State Awareness and the Learning State.

Anyone can do this (unless there are medical and clinical issues) as long as they want to. For some, this needs encouragement or nurturing. Others like Arnold Schwarzenegger have a natural abundance of these qualities. Usually, it is a matter of practicing these until the results are experienced.

My personal research concludes that setting the default habit of the unconscious mind to the Learning State can be achieved within 5 years if the 9 pillar framework is applied correctly. I did it in 5 years once I knew what to do. I was as driven as Arnold was but in the direction of living in the Learning State. In my observations of myself and others over the past three decades, I have yet to see these laws fail. It is mostly the personal application to these laws that determines how fast their default habit resets to the Learning State.

Eventually the Learning State becomes normal and default. This is what Carl Jung terms Individuation. Once that occurs, and settles, this process continues to deepen. Life just gets more amazing and it feels good as joy and happiness are the undercurrent of life.
Tap to get back to summary

These Laws of Success are what it takes for genuine achievement to happen. Any world class person in their field of endeavour will agree to this. However, there are two foundational pre-requisites needed or all the above will not happen. This is what I term Law Zero and that is pillar No4 in the framework.
Many of life's issues stem from these two aspects. It is foundational to being a functional human.

The framework page video explains simply the full picture of these different aspects pull together in a coherent structure. The combination of the core life skills, the whole brain learning techniques, Law Zero and these 10 Laws of Success make a solid practical framework to help you.

I boldly state on this website that this process is mathematical. This gets the Nay-sayers excited. Yet the evidence is the Nay-sayers don't live by default in the Learning State as they never applied this framework. It took me 5 years, once I knew what to do.

The math of Arnold's 5 laws is correct. I had a big vision, I was relentless (worked my ass off) with my State Awareness and Learning State consistency. Arnold did this to win his Mr Olympia & Mr Universe titles, his keynote speech discusses this clearly. Roger Federer does the same to be one of the top tennis players ever. I ignored the Nay-sayers. I studied the role models, I was coaching. All 10 Laws of Success help give guidance.

We all determine what is good enough for ourselves.  This framework here will help students be successful in the fastest way possible. It is designed to maximise their memory, resourcefulness and reduce stress in a way our human neurology and unconscious mind works. The quick fix is here, but it takes effort. Sorry, Law Zero states self-responsibility is required for action. Arnold says this differently in his keynote speech; "only the person who discovered gold in California had success without working for it".
