In this ‘invitation only’ workshop, I will walk you through the actual steps needed to identify your most important goal and how to get into a state of Junoon to achieve it. This is a virtual workshop delivered over the internet so you can attend from the convenience of your home.

During the 90 minute session, we will begin by helping you select the goal you want to create your Junoon for. I will then teach you how to get into a state of Junoon by accessing the 5 unique waves of Junoon:

1. Tapping into Pure Inspiration – This is the first exercise where you will learn to identify the one goal, or one mission that will give you maximum happiness and satisfaction and start the process of getting into the state of Junoon to achieve it.

2. Developing Sixth Sight – This is the second exercise where you will learn to develop a Cartesian Plan. The Cartesian Plan will define exactly what needs to get done, how to do it, what specific actions to take and why.

3. Getting into Fanatic Focus – In this exercise you will learn how to make your goal a constant thought that is at the forefront of your mind. This exercise will also guide you to develop the ability to attract synchronicities that help you in achieving your goal.

4. Starting Social Junoon – In this exercise you learn the ability to turn your Junoon into a movement and gain support from other like minded people who would want you to achieve this goal.

My goal is to help you have a clear plan describing how to achieve the ONE goal you identified. The fees for this session is $149 and once you have paid for one session, you are welcome to attend as many sessions as you need to feel comfortable with your plan.

I look forward to working with you on January 22nd; get ready to get into the state of Junoon.

I just read “Just Manic Enough: Seeking Perfect Entrepreneurs “, a fascinating article in NY Times by David Segal.

This article really epitomizes the concept of Junoon. Here is an excerpt from the article “The attributes that make great entrepreneurs, the experts say, are common in certain manias, though in milder forms and harnessed in ways that are hugely productive. Instead of recklessness, the entrepreneur loves risk. Instead of delusions, the entrepreneur imagines a product that sounds so compelling that it inspires people to bet their careers, or a lot of money, on something that doesn’t exist and may never sell.”

The article goes on to describe the manic behavior of super achievers and how they are able to operate with unstoppable energy. It also points out how people such as Steve Jobs are able to change complete industries with their vision and their conviction.

Clearly the writer is describing the phase of ‘fanatic focus’ for the state of Junoon. Where your focus reaches such heights that you start to warp synchronicities towards you. In fanatic focus, you live in your goal and absolutely nothing distracts you from it. You’re up and running at the crack of dawn, and you don’t fall asleep until the early hours of the morning. You may not even need food, or require far less of it to sustain yourself.

However, the author also points out a couple of traits that often get associated with being in this state of Junoon. People in Junoon may come across as crazy and egomaniacs. This perception will make it hard to get the support you need – whether it’s from investors or spouses.

To get results from this state of obsession, entrepreneurs not only need to be driven, focused and operate at superhuman energy levels, they also have to be able to develop a “Cartesian Plan” – the what and how of their goal – and convert their Junoon into a “Social Junoon” to avoid coming across as crazy and an egomaniac.

The Cartesian Plan shows you have a logical and rational execution strategy and social Junoon allows others to take ownership of your Junoon and not only support it but spread it further. Without these, you may come across as loony instead of visionary.

In 1920 Dr. Carl Jung came up with a fascinating concept called Synchronicity. He coined the word to explain his theory of “Meaningful Coincidences”.

I am sure we all have had such coincidences in our lives, when we find ourselves

Creating Gravity to Attract Opportunties

through happen chance with the exact person who may be able to help us. Or when we think of a person and suddenly run into him or her at a busy airport. How many time we all have experienced chance meetings in a train, at a coffee shop, in the plane, at a bus stop, with an individual who is the exact person that would help us achieve our objective.

I think science is not yet evolved to answer why this phenomena occurs, in my opinion it a quantum connection that we currently do not understand. However chance meetings like these are invaluable when you are headed towards a goal.

You may have also noticed that such coincidences happen to certain individuals more often than the rest of your friends. We usually deem them as lucky, bizarre, and funny.

In my research on Junoon, I saw a clear correlation between people who were in a state of Junoon and the quantity of synchronicities they experienced. It was as if they being in a state of Junoon warped the universe around them resulting in attracting people, events and opportunities that may not have ordinarily come their way. Each day they come in with a new story of how they met someone, or were standing in a line and an event occurred that was directly related to their goal.

So why does this happen? What is it that people do in a state of Junoon that leads to such synchronicites.

The answer lies in the behavior of people who are in the state of Junoon. It appears that people who are in a state of Junoon tend to act a certain way more often than the others. They affect their immediate universe with their actions, and start a domino effect. One set of actions lead to several other actions and the only constant in this process is the person who is in the state of Junoon.

People who are in the state of Junoon follow three distinctive principles.

1. In their daily life they will perform Random Acts of Kindness. This could be as simple as adding a quarter in a meter of another car when you spot their time has expired.

2. When interacting with people who are doing regular work such as a waitress in a restaurant, they will exhibit Random Acts of Appreciation. This would usually be a smile and a genuine interest in their well being.

3. And finally while they are known for their Random Acts of Support. This is as simple as helping complete strangers with their time, guidance, and connections.

These three behavior patterns effect their universe with such incredible strength that it ends up creating a gravity sink. Opportunities naturally move towards them. I am not talking about big opportunities, it could be as simple as always finding the best parking spot, or getting the best table at a restaurant. This individuals move through life as if protected and spoiled by guardian angels.

I think when they are constantly acting this way, they are attracting people who want to help them, their aura is positive and inviting, strangers who would not necessary speak would be compelled to have a conversation with them. And when this occurs their other elements of the state of Junoon take over and open up opportunities.

I have developed several exercises to help people get into a state of Junoon and how to attract such opportunities. Please feel free to contact or post your thoughts. Go find your Junoon!

Junoon - Your Mysterious Force

Dear readers,

Since July 13th when “Driven” officially became available on Amazon, I have had a barrage of questions as to how does one get into a State of Junoon. For those who have not read the book, Junoon is a mysterious force, an inner-energy that gets you into a state of hypnotic obsession to achieve your goal.

For those who have read the book, getting into a state of Junoon requires you to follow 5 unique exercises that I have developed. I have practiced these exercises on myself to help me get into this state and they work for me every single time. I have now started helping individuals, corporations and groups in getting into this state through a series of coaching session that I conduct in person.

Exercise 1. Identification of a Goal. This is a very important exercise, so many of us simply do not recognize the goal for which a Junoon can be developed. We go through life making goals, and wonder why we end up achieving some of them while completely ignoring others. The key is if you know of a goal that, if achieved, will have a dramatic effect on your life then you must get into a state of Junoon. This exercise teaches you to recognize such a goal among all your other goals.

Exercise 2. Development of a Cartesian Plan. This is unlike any plan you may have made to achieve your goal. A Cartesian plan is based on developing the three major coordinates that will guide you in reaching your destination. Once the coordinates are identified then a path is charted to achieve your goal. A Cartesian Plan becomes one of the main reasons for you to remain in the state of Junoon.

Exercise 3. Recognizing Synchronicities. When you are in a state of Junoon it appears that your attract opportunities to achieve your goal. You become a magnet, it is like you have this immense gravity and you pull events, warp situations and attract people who would help you achieve your goal. This exercise teaches you as to how to have this gravity and it’s application.

Exercise 4. Using the Energy of Junoon. The state of Junoon has an interesting property, and that is to generate energy to help you through your journey. In this exercise you learn to tap into this energy and how to apply it to keep you physically, mentally and morally committed to your goal.

Exercise 5. Getting Your Junoon to Become Viral. This exercise is to help you share your Junoon and let it become viral. Once you have the power of the crowd behind you the outcome is unstoppable.

Jill Konrath Sales Expert

Jill Konrath, my friend and renowned sales expert and author of multiple best-selling sales books was kind enough to talk about my book Driven on her blog today. She said something that made me pick up the pen today: “But I didn’t realize that I could actively encourage more Junoons in my life. “

This is the whole essence of my book. The world today is a better place because a handful of people over the centuries discovered and tapped into their Junoons and influenced all our lives positively.

Can you imagine if the number of people achieving these extra ordinary results grew to thousands and tens of thousands because we now knowingly recognize and empower our Junoons?

Would I be mad if I were to say that hunger, war, racism, poverty could all be eradicated from the world if all those amongst us who want to do something about these things were actually able to do it? If we were able to change these from ‘wishful thinking’ to active Junoons, would you agree that each one of us could change their piece of the world for the better?

I think you would. So, what is your Junoon?
