What is a breakthrough? A breakthrough is an extraordinary and unprecedented result. Most people believe that breakthroughs are accidental. This is conventional wisdom. We believe breakthroughs can be created intentionally, if you know how to do it. What stops you from creating a breakthrough? YOU!
There are key principles to breakthrough creation that you can apply to your life and work. You can actually learn how to create breakthroughs through a specific, tested breakthrough creation process. You can learn how to overcome breakdowns on the way to your breakthrough.
This is such an important concept that I decided to bring a special event to the attention of my readers. I learned the power of breakthrough years ago. Understanding how to create breakthroughs served me well as an engineering executive and a turnaround CEO. I decided to share this experience given my commitment to help organizations create the breakthroughs they need to distance themselves from their competitors.
You can read about the process.
Or, you can see it in action. While reading is good, seeing is better.
If you want to learn how to create a breakthrough in your life and/or your company, Eric Best and I are demonstrating the power of the breakthrough distinction at a free event sponsored by the Positive Energy Summit. Believe it or not, once you embody the distinction breakthrough, you will enable breakthroughs to occur.
The free event will be held this Wednesday, August 25, 2010 from 7:00PM to 9:00PM.

At this event, you will be given the opportunity to actually experience your own power to create a breakthrough. You will be given the opportunity to overcome your self-limiting beliefs by learning to project energy in such a way as to influence material objects such as ‘commanding spoons to bend’ and moving objects without touching them.
What does this have to do with accelerating my business performance? Everything! To create a breakthrough in business requires a belief in the possibility, and a commitment to, what James Collins calls, a Big Hairy Audacious Goal, a BHAG. Out of your commitment, you plan from the future back to the present to bring the breakthrough into existence. The hardest part is to overcome your own limiting beliefs. IBM did research on breakthrough creation and improved project performance up two times better than the status quo process.
You will learn what is possible if you overcome your limiting beliefs. You will also learn what happens if you cannot overcome them. Either way the learning will be very insightful.
If you want to play and experience your own power, you will need to sign-up and bring some materials with you to the Positive Energy Summit.
- Ordinary string, strong enough such that you could use it for say securely wrapping a package to be mailed. Bring At least 3 yards of such string and a pair of small scissors to cut it.
- Also bring three (3) nuts & bolts from your local hardware store. You need to make these be small to moderately sized nuts & bolts: for example a 1/4 to 3/8 inch diameter bolt that is about 2 inches long and a nut to go on each bolt.
- Bring at least 3 regular forks and 3 teaspoons for each person. Do not bring knives. If you have some old silver plate silverware (the sort of stuff used back in the 1940′s before stainless steel was around) which you can be okay with “bending”, bring it. But don’t worry if you don’t have it. Stainless steel will work okay.
Bring an open mind, a child’s curiosity, and be willing to have fun
If you could use a breakthrough at this time in your life, come to this Positive Energy Summit. It will be rewarding and fun. What a combination. Once you learn how to use the breakthrough tool you can use it throughout your life. This is a tool that gets sharper and stronger with each use.
